You should choose the right answer that best fits into the passage.Scientists used to explore 31 the surface of the ocean. Now they 32 below the surface，too. They want to know about the ocean water and the 33 and animal life 34 in the ocean.In 1934 the scientist William Beebe dived 3，000 feet below the surface in a hollow steel ball. In 1935 Auguste Picard dived 10，330 feet. In 1960 his son Jean dived to a 35 of 35，800 feet.All these early dives were deep. But the divers could not stay down for very long. They had to 36 the surface after a few seconds. Scientists needed to stay down longer to study life below the surface. 37 ，they succeeded. Cousteau，a Frenchman，was able to 38 down to a depth of 36 feet for one month and to a depth of 90 feet for a week.Now scientists are developing even 39 equipment. With this new equipment，men can stay 40 the surface for days or 41 weeks. In 1962 Consteau 42 a research station 35 feet below the surface. Then in 1964 he set up another station on the ocean floor of the Red Sea.This was the first undersea station to operate 43 help from the surface.Many countries are now studying undersea 44 . The Soviet Union has an undersea laboratory in the Crimean Sea. The United States has a laboratory 50 feet 45 on the ocean floor 46 the Virgin Islands. In 1970 five men lived there for two weeks. Then a 47 of five women scientists stayed in the laboratory. 48 came other teams of men. All were there to explore the ocean depths and 49 plans for the use of its resources. Scientists hope to find enough 50 ，vegetable，and animal wealth there to provide food for the whole world.31. A. in B. to C. On D. under32. A. explore B. are exploring C. explored D. will explore33.

Each passage is followed by some questions orunfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D, you should decide the best choice.Passage 1With a tremendous roar from its rocket engine，the satellite is sent up into the sky. Minutes later，at an altitude of 300 miles，this tiny electronic moon begins to orbit about the earth. Its radio begins to transmit a staggering amount of information about the satellite’s orbital path，the amount of radiation it detects，and the presence of meteorites. Information of all kinds races back to the earth. No human being could possibly copy down all these facts，much less remember and organize them. But an electronic computer can.The marvel of the machine age，the electronic computer has been in use only since 1946. It can do simple computations—add，subtract，multiply，and divide—with lightning speed and perfect accuracy. It can multiply two 10digit numbers in 1／1，000 second，a problem that would take an average person five minutes to do with pencil and paper. Some computers can work 500，000 times faster than any person can.Once it is given a program，that is，a carefully worked out set of instructions devised by a technician trained in computer language，a computer can gather a wide range of information for many purposes. For the scientist it can get information from outer space or from the depths of the ocean. In business and industry the computer prepares factory inventories，keeps track of sales trends and production needs，mails dividend checks，and makes out company payrolls. It can keep bank accounts up to date and make out electric bills. If you are planning a trip by plane，the computer will find out what route to take and what space is available.51. Why does the author regard the electronic computer as the marvel of the machine age?A. Because electronic computers are rare.B. Because people know little about electronic computers.C. Because electronic computers can do much more kinds of work that human beings can’t.D. Because electronic computers have been widely suspected.52. Electronic computers were given the name in the beginning just for the simple reason that_______ .A. they could do computationsB. they could work much faster than human beingsC. they looked like an abacusD. they could remember data quickly53. According to the passage，which of the following is NOT true?A. Computers began to be used in 1946.B. Computers can add，subtract，multiply and divide.C. Computers were widely used during World War Ⅱ.D. No human being can work as fast as a computer.54. A computer can calculate_______.A. with lightning speedB. accuratelyC. with a speed 500，000 times faster than a personD. all above55. In the first sentence of last paragraph，“program” would probably mean_______.A. a performanceB. a showC. a worked out set of instructionsD. a TV playPassage 2On the old time farm in America there were chickens and turkeys. There were also cows，pigs，and other livestock. But there were very few machines. Most of the work was done by the entire farm family with the h elp of a “hired” man. Sometimes extra labourers were needed in busy seasons. Horses provided 79 percent of the power used，human labor 15 percent，and machines only 6 percent.Today all that has changed. On many modern farms machines now supply 96 percent of the power，human labor 3 percent，and horses 1 percent. Modern farms are enterprising businesses which keep only the livestock that can pay its way. The children go to school by bus every morning，the parents work on the farm or in the house，and hired help is seldom needed. Their work has been replaced by a whole army of farm machines.Farmers in the machine age also use the new fertilizers，new sprays，new feeds，new hybrid seeds，and other helps developed by farm sciences. As a result the farmers are able to produce more food with less labour. This means fewer but larger farms and fewer but moreprosperous farmers.56. In old days，most of the work on a farm was done by_______.A. all the farm familyB. livestockC. farm machinesD. both A and B57. From the first paragraph，we learn that in old days the most important farming power was____.A. LivestockB. farmersC. MachinesD. extra laborers58. On today’s farms，the chief reason why livestock is still raised would probably be____.A. that farmers conventions are difficult to be given upB. that farmers want to gain more profitC. that farmers have to do soD. that farmers work has been replaced by machines59. On modern farms，farmers need mostly all the followings EXCEPT_______.A. farm scienceB. seedsC. FertilizersD. hard work60. In the last sentence of Paragraph 3，“fewer but larger farms and fewer but more prosperous farmers” means_______.A. hired help is seldom neededB. productivity on the farms has been raised greatlyC. productivity on the farms has fallen sharplyD. more food is never neededPassage 3City traffic jam—one of the least wanted effects of the motor vehicle—is something with which we’re all familiar and for which most of us have an answer. But which solution is best?Some people suggest for better roads，others for cars to be banned(禁止) from city centers and yet others say better public transport would attract drivers from their lonely and boring journeys.But the important question is what natural power creates a big city center. We are，after all，in an age of electronic communication; our big shopping areas have moved out of city centers，and our living areas moved out of them long ago.Yet some force causes offices and service industries related to them to gather in London or New York or Tokyo. This suggests that far from the problems of a crowded environment forcing companies and people to move out，there is a critical (重大的) size beyond which more companies are attracted to move in. Nobody seems to know why，yet the answer is important to the way traffic jam is dealt with.61. Which of the following is NOT mentioned in the passage as the cause of the traffic problem?A. The poor public transport.B. The over concentration of shopping centers.C. The great number of cars in the city centers.D. The bad road conditions.62. According to the passage，offices and their associated service industries move to big cities because of_______.A. the convenience of communicationB. the gathering of companiesC. some unknown forceD. the convenience of shopping63. The word “This”(Line 2，Para.4) refers to_______.A. some forceB. traffic jamC. the force that causes offices to move in or outD. the fact that companies gather in big cities64. This passage is most likely taken from_______.A. a novelB. a TV playC. an instructionD. a news report65. The topic of this passage would probably be_______.A. Best Answer to Traffic ProblemB. The Banning of Cars in the City CenterC. The Formation of City CenterD. Searching for Ways to Solve Traffic ProblemPassage 4Mrs. Cox teaches English in a large high school located in the inner area of a big city on the West Coast. Ever since she was a young girl，Mrs. Cox had wanted to become a teacher. She has taught eight years now and hasn’t changed her mind.After she graduated from high school，Mrs. Cox went on to college. Four years later，she received her bachelor’s degree (B.A.) in English and her teaching certificate. Then she was qualified to teach in the secondary schools of her state. In the summers，Mrs. Cox takes more classes. Someday she hopes to get a master’s degree (M.A.).With an M.A.，she will receive a higher salary.The school day at Mrs. Cox’s high school，like that in many high schools in the United States，is divided into six periods of one hour each. Mrs. Cox must teach five of these six periods. During her free period，which for her is from 2 to 3 p.m.，Mrs. Cox must meet with parents，order supplies，make out examinations，check assignments，and take care of many other things. In short，her free period isn’t really free at all. Mrs. Cox works steadily from the time she arrives at school in the morning until the time she leaves for home late in the afternoon.66. Mrs. Cox wants to be a teacher because_______.A. she likes teachingB. she is a young girlC. she has many problems to deal withD. she doesn’t mind what she is doing67. From paragraph two，we can infer_______.A. Mrs. Cox has received a teaching certificateB. Mrs. Cox likes teaching very muchC. Mrs. Cox takes more classesD. Mrs. Cox is a qualified teacher68. She will receive a higher salary if_______.A. she gets a master’s degreeB. she takes more classesC. she has studies normal teachingD. she gets a bachelor’s degree69.

Mrs. Cox Has Got Her Teaching CertificatePart Ⅳ Translation (2.5×8 points)Section ADirections：There are 4 sentences in this section. You are required to translate them from Chinese into English.71.这口大钟大约有三个人那么高。

She is recalling old times as she waits for her family's arrival. The nursing home has been Melinda's new settlement ever since Thomas passed away a week ago. Thomas had fought a long and hard battle against lung cancer for three years. Unfortunately, he has broken the promise that he and Melinda had made: to be with each other for every birthday. Melinda knew this was unrealistic but agreed to the promise for Thomas’s sake.“Thomas, you are completely a dreamer!” Melinda shouted to Thomas as he dragged on about living on an island with his beautiful wife. That s what she loved about him most—he had a vivid imagination. They got married at age eighteen and began having children right away. Mary came within the year，followed by Thomas Benjamin II, Lilly-Ann, and Joseph “Little Joey' George. The family lived an exultant life filled with laughter and love.“Mom!” Lilly shouted, but it really sounded like a howl. Melinda had lost herself in thinking about the life she had shared with her late husband. Lilly pushed her down the long dark halls of the nursing home until they arrived at the recreational room.When the doors opened, Melinda put her hand over her mouth and was completely speechless. The room was crowded with the people nearest and dearest to her and the warmth and love was felt instantly. The night went on; stories and cocktails were shared and everything was perfect. However, when Melinda caught a moment to herself she looked around at her family. With a smile on her face, she raised her Manhattan and called out for a toast. “This one is for you, Thomas，though you are not here.”36. Why did Thomas break his promise?A. He was busy with his work.B.He died of lung cancer.C. He had to serve in the army.D.He stopped loving Melinda.37. Which of the following best explains “exultant” underlined in Paragraph 2?A. Peaceful.B. Simple.C. Stressful.D. Happy.38. What can we infer from the last paragraph?A. Melinda，children forgot their father.B. Melinda was tired of noise.C. Melinda missed her husband badly.D. Melinda liked to drink alcohol,39. What can be a suitable title for the text?A. A Particular BirthdayB. A Woman at a Nursing HomeC. Memories of Old DaysD. A Big Surprise for MelindaPassage BSpotify can tell if you’re sad. Here’s why that should scare you. Want to figure out if someone is a patient with a mental disability? Ask them what their favorite song is. A New York University study last year found that people who loved Eminem's Lose Yourself and Justin Bieber's What Do You Mean? were more likely to have trouble with mental disabilities than people who were into Dire Straits.Over the past few years，Spotify has been improving the ability to analyze information to help businessmen target consumers with advertisements made specially for their needs. They conclude this from the sort of music you’re listening to, combined with where and when you’re listening to it, along with third-party data that might be available.Now, to be clear, there’s nothing significantly illegal about what Spotify is doing with your information. I certainly don't think that they are working with shadowy consulting firms to serve you ads selling a culture struggle while you're listening to music that suggests you might be in a terrible situation. However, I find it disappointing that our personal, private moments with music are increasingly being turned into information points and offered to advertisers.You can see where this could go，can’t you? As ad targeting gets ever more accurate, businessmen will have the ability to target our feelings in potentially improper ways. According to one study, you are more likely to spend more on a product if you’re feeling sad. You can imagine some companies might take advantage of that. And on that note，I’m feeling a littledown about all this. Head off to treat myself to something expensive.40. What's the purpose of the first paragraph?A. To introduce a new song.B. To draw readers’ attention.C. To help more patients.D. To promote a new medium.41. Spotify improves its ability to analyze information to______.A. provide services for the governmentB. work with shadowy consulting firmsC. get listeners' personal informationD. help businessmen attract consumers42. What s the author’s attitude towards Spotify?A. Uncertain.B. Supportive.C. Positive.D.Dissatisfied.43. Who is the text probably designed for?A. Internet users.B. Officials.C. Researchers.D.Managers.Passage CAn exciting landing process of Chang'e-4 lunar probe (月球探测器）was seen through the monitor at Beijing Aerospace Control Center in Beijing，Jan. 3, 2019. It touched down on the far side of the moon at 10:26 a.m. Beijing Time, becoming the first spacecraft soft-landing on the moon’s unknown side never visible from Earth.China’s Chang'e-4 probe has started the exploration on the far side of the moon thanks to the relay satellite that provides a communication link with ground control. The relay satellite, named Queqiao, meaning Magpie Bridge, after a Chinese legend, was launched on May 21,2018，and became the first communication satellite operating in the halo orbit, nearly 500,000 km from the earth. It can also provide communication for probes from other countries. The relay satellite will also be used for scientific and technological experiments. The maximum distance between the satellite and the Chang'e-4 probe on the far side of the moon is 79,000 km. The satellite processes data from the probe and sends it to Earth.The satellite can stay in its orbit for a long time due to its relatively low fuel consumption, as the earth’s and moon's gravity balances its orbital moving. While in orbit, it can “see” both the earth and the far side of the moon.The concept of using a relay satellite in the halo orbit was first put forward by U.S. space expertsin the 1960s, but was realized by Chinese space engineers.Researchers hope to use the cameras on the satellite to record asteroids (小行星）hitting the far side of the moon. To control the cost of the Chang'c-4 probe, the relay satellite was designed to be relatively small, weighing about 400 kg.Researchers had just 30 months to develop the satellite, putting them under high pressure. To promote public interest in space exploration, the China National Space Administration invited people to write down their wishes for lunar and space exploration, and the relay satellite carries the names of tens of thousands of participants and their messages.44. What do we learn from the second paragraph?A. The relay satellite was launched on Jan. 3, 2019.B.Chang'e-4 probe was the first communication satellite.C. The relay satellite only explores the far side of the moon.D. The relay satellite can handle data from Chang'e-4 probe.45. Why was the size of the relay satellite relatively small?A. To reduce the cost as much as possible.B. To make it circle Moon for a longer time.C. To avoid being crashed by other satellites.D. To follow American space experts，advice.46. What made researchers suffer from great stress?A. Few people interested in the exploration on the moon.B. The relay satellite carrying too much equipment.C. Their lacking enough time to develop the relay satellite.D. People’s never being optimistic about the relay satellite47. What is the main idea of the text?A. China is a new space power after the USA.B.Change-4 probe lands on Moon’s far side.C. Chinese space engineers make much progress.D. Space exploration is a dangerous challenge.Passage DLast year marked the 100th anniversary of the end of World War I. There were events around theworld in memory of those who died in the conflict. We have picked out three of them in European countries. Let's take a look.BelgiumIn a park, the famous Belgian artist Koen Vanmechelen had an exhibition called Coming World, Remember Me. The work consisted of 600,000 individual(单独的）clay sculptures, one for exhibition was a big egg made of clay each person killed during the World War. In the center of the exhibition was a big egg made of clay, symbolizing a new world.UKIn a small town called Aldridge. almost 100 houses in one street were covered with 24,000poppies and statues of sold.They stood for the men from the area who had been killed in the war. The flowers were chosen because of a poem written by the Canadian doctor John McCrea in1915. They made people think of fields of blood.FranceThe British artist Guy Denning arrived in La Feuille，a small town in the northwest of France, to stick life-size drawings of soldiers who never came back home. Armed with glue and a brush, Denning stuck his drawings carefully on walls. Before long 112 men, ma.nly young adults, were brought back to mind, if not to life.48. What do we know about Coming World. Remember Me?A. It's the name of an exhibition.B. It's a film about World War I.C. It's a work standing for peace.D. It's a sculpture made of clay.49.

The fields were filled with them.50. How was the end of World War I marked in France?A. A memorial to the dead soldiers was built.B. 112 wounded soldiers in the war were helped.C. Drawings of some dead soldiers were put up.D. Young adults were encouraged to join the army.Part IV Skimming and Scanning (10%)Technology in education: Current trendsA)Computers and Internet connections are becoming widely available in schools and classrooms. In 1999, 99 percent of teachers in the United States had access to a computer in their schools, and 84 percent had one or more computers in their classrooms. At the same time, Internet connections were also widespread, with 95 percent of schools and 63 percent of classrooms having access. Worldwide, many countries are making the creation and diffusion of information and communications technology (ICT) an important priority.The use of technology to find educational resourcesB) In the past, teachers attempting a problem-based curriculum felt the need to limit problems to those for which they had expertise or the local library had resources. Now the World Wide Web brings a seemingly endless amount of information on almost any subject, and it is possible for students to choose topics based on personal interest rather than availability of resources.C) Internet research projects are gaining popularity. In the spring of 1998, 30 percent of teachers surveyed (and 70 percent of those with high-speed Internet connections) reported they had assigned Internet research tasks to their students during the school year. Use of the Internet to gather information for solving problems sometimes resembles a modern version of library research, in which students gather and synthesize information from published reports. Despite the fact that the task seems traditional, the characteristics of this new medium require special skills for students. The sheer volume of information allows students to study almost any topic, but also makes it more difficult to locate precisely the right information from among the thousands, or even millions, of sites. In addition, the ease of publishing materials on the Internet increases the likelihood that students will encounter inaccurate or biased information. As a result, students must learn new strategies for conducting searches and evaluating the information thatthey retrieve.D) Students carrying out scientific investigations can use the Internet to make observations and collect data. For example, the fourth and fifth graders in California collected insects and sent them to San Diego State University. Using two-way audio and video connecting the school and the university, scientists guided the students in using an electron microscope to examine their specimens. Technology has made it possible to collect data from places students could never visit. In recent projects, high school students explored the floor of the Monterey Bay by studying the video from remotely operated robots, and middle school students were given time to use the Hubble telescope. Students also use technology to collect data in their schools and communities. For example, using handheld computers outfitted with various types of probes （探测仪），students can monitor the water quality at various locations in nearby streams or lakes. By transmitting their individual readings to a laptop computer in a field laboratory they can quickly graph their data and visually compare readings.The use of technology to summarize and present findingsE) In the past, students memorized and used formulas and models created by others to solve problems. Students often used these formulas, especially in the early stages of learning, with little understanding. In the early 21st century computer tools provide the opportunity for students to construct and test their own models using tools such as spreadsheets （电子制表软件）or concept maps （概念图）. This type of instruction deepens students' understanding of abstract concepts and allows these concepts to be taught at an earlier age.F) Once students have summarized their data and other information, they typically communicate their findings to others. Writing reports is still the most widespread use of ICT, with 61 percent of US teachers assigning students word-processing tasks. In addition to text, students also use computer-created graphics, videos, and animations to communicate their ideas.G) The teacher is not the only audience for students' presentations. Students frequently expect to present their work to and receive feedback from their peers and the world outside their classroom. Whether they are using presentation software to accompany a face-to也cepresentation or developing materials to put on the Web, the trend is for students to be able to communicate their work to a broad audience. This increases students' perception that problem-based learning is real work for real audiences.The use of technology for collaboration and distance educationH) There are many opportunities for individual students to use technology to enhance their learning. These include online courses that provide students in remote locations with opportunities for customized curriculum and advanced placement courses （先修课程）. These courses are conducted entirely online and offer asynchronous （异步的）interaction among faculty and students. Because they allow students to participate anytime and from anywhere, online courses are becoming increasingly popular among postsecondary （高等教育）students whose job and personal commitments do not allow them to meet a regular class schedule.I) Opportunities for interaction with peers from other countries can also contribute to knowledge and understanding of other cultures. ICT makes this type of communication possible for anyone with Internet access. For example, the Kidlink project encourages students up to age 15 to use the Internet to build a global network of friends. Kidlink participants discuss issues ranging from how to make and keep friends to war and peace.J) Monitoring students' independent learning in these flexible environments will be supported by sophisticated new assessment technologies that will help teachers collect and analyze students' data and make instructional decisions. These tools will continually assess students' work and provide feedback to them and their teachers. Such assessment has the potential to make time-consuming standardized testing unnecessary and to personalize the curriculum for every student. Ubiquitous，well-integrated technology tools will bring educators closer to redefine the educational enterprise and provide customized, just-in-time solutions for the learning needs of students.____1 Students find it more difficult to locate the right information from among a large number of websites.____2 Teachers will use sophisticated new technologies to assess students' learning in flexible environments and make instructional decisions.____3 Collecting information from the Internet is similar to that in the library as students obtain published reports and process the information in both cases.____4 While teachers had to limit problems to those with resources in the process of teaching in the past, students nowadays can make their own interest-based choices because of a large amount of information available on many subjects.____5 Students of higher education prefer online courses to those given at fixed time and in fixed places due to their other businesses.____6 The Kidlink project encourages students up to 15 to make foreign friends and have discussions about a wide range of issues on the Internet.____7 Many countries around the world prioritize the creation and spread of ICT.____8 By means of two-way audio and video, scientists in San Diego State University instructed the fourth- and fifth-grade students in California to observe specimens with electronic devices. ____9 Face-to-face presentations accompanied by software indicate the trend that students can communicate their work with more people.____10 Because of computer tools, abstract concepts can be better understood by students and be taught at an earlier age.Part V Translation (10%)1. 孔子的许多思想，尤其是教育思想，对中国社会产生了深远的影响。

You should choose the right answer that best fits into the passage.Scientists used to explore 31 the surface of the ocean. Now they 32 below the surface，too. They want to know about theocean water and the 33 and animal life 34 in the ocean.In 1934 the scientist William Beebe dived 3，000 feet below the surface in a hollow steel ball. In 1935 Auguste Picard dived 10，330 feet. In 1960 his son Jean dived to a 35 of 35，800 feet.All these early dives were deep. But the divers could not stay down for very long. They had to 36 the surface after a few seconds. Scientists needed to stay down longer to study life below the surface. 37 ，they succeeded. Cousteau，a Frenchman，was able to 38 down to a depth of 36 feet for one month and to a depth of 90 feet for a week.Now scientists are developing even 39 equipment. With this new equipment，men can stay 40 the surface for days or 41 weeks. In 1962 Consteau 42 a research station 35 feet below the surface. Then in 1964 he set up another station on the ocean floor of the Red Sea.This was the first undersea station to operate 43 help from the surface.Many countries are now studying undersea 44 . The Soviet Union has an undersea laboratory in the Crimean Sea. The United States has a laboratory 50 feet 45 on the ocean floor 46 the Virgin Islands. In 1970 five men lived there for two weeks. Then a 47 of five women scientists stayed in the laboratory. 48 came other teams of men. All were there to explore the ocean depths and 49 plans for the use of its resources.

Each passage is followed by some questions orunfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D, you should decide the best choice.Passage 1With a tremendous roar from its rocket engine，the satellite is sent up into the sky. Minutes later，at an altitude of 300 miles，this tiny electronic moon begins to orbit about the earth. Its radio begins to transmit a staggering amount of information about the satellite’s orbital path，the amount of radiation it detects，and the presence of meteorites. Information of all kinds races back to the earth. No human being could possibly copy down all thesefacts，much less remember and organize them. But an electronic computer can.The marvel of the machine age，the electronic computer has been in use only since 1946. It can do simple computations—add，subtract，multiply，and divide—with lightning speed and perfect accuracy. It can multiply two 10digit numbers in 1／1，000 second，a problem that would take an average person five minutes to do with pencil and paper. Some computers can work 500，000 times faster than any person can.Once it is given a program，that is，a carefully worked out set of instructions devised by a technician trained in computer language，a computer can gather a wide range of information for many purposes. For the scientist it can get information from outer space or from the depths of the ocean. In business and industry the computer prepares factory inventories，keeps track of sales trends and production needs，mails dividend checks，and makes out company payrolls. It can keep bank accounts up to date and make out electric bills. If you are planning a trip by plane，the computer will find out what route to take and what space is available.51. Why does the author regard the electronic computer as the marvel of the machine age?A. Because electronic computers are rare.B. Because people know little about electronic computers.C. Because electronic computers can do much more kinds of work that human beings can’t.D. Because electronic computers have been widely suspected.52. Electronic computers were given the name in the beginning just for the simple reason that_______ .A. they could do computationsB. they could work much faster than human beingsC. they looked like an abacusD. they could remember data quickly53. According to the passage，which of the following is NOT true?A. Computers began to be used in 1946.B. Computers can add，subtract，multiply and divide.C. Computers were widely used during World War Ⅱ.D. No human being can work as fast as a computer.54. A computer can calculate_______.A. with lightning speedB. accuratelyC. with a speed 500，000 times faster than a personD. all above55. In the first sentence of last paragraph，“program” would probably mean_______.A. a performanceB. a showC. a worked out set of instructionsD. a TV playPassage 2On the old time farm in America there were chickens and turkeys. There were also cows，pigs，and other livestock. But there were very few machines. Most of the work was done by the entire farm family with the h elp of a “hired” man. Sometimes extra labourers were needed in busy seasons. Horses provided 79 percent of the power used，human labor 15 percent，and machines only 6 percent.Today all that has changed. On many modern farms machines now supply 96 percent of the power，human labor 3percent，and horses 1 percent. Modern farms are enterprising businesses which keep only the livestock that can pay its way. The children go to school by bus every morning，the parents work on the farm or in the house，and hired help is seldom needed. Their work has been replaced by a whole army of farm machines.Farmers in the machine age also use the new fertilizers，new sprays，new feeds，new hybrid seeds，and other helps developed by farm sciences. As a result the farmers are able to produce more food with less labour. This means fewer but larger farms and fewer but moreprosperous farmers.56. In old days，most of the work on a farm was done by_______.A. all the farm familyB. livestockC. farm machinesD. both A and B57. From the first paragraph，we learn that in old days the most important farming power was____.A. LivestockB. farmersC. MachinesD. extra laborers58. On today’s farms，the chief reason why livestock is still raised would probably be____.A. that farmers conventions are difficult to be given upB. that farmers want to gain more profitC. that farmers have to do soD. that farmers work has been replaced by machines59. On modern farms，farmers need mostly all thefollowings EXCEPT_______.A. farm scienceB. seedsC. FertilizersD. hard work60. In the last sentence of Paragraph 3，“fewer but larger farms and fewer but more prosperous farmers” means_______.A. hired help is seldom neededB. productivity on the farms has been raised greatlyC. productivity on the farms has fallen sharplyD. more food is never neededPassage 3City traffic jam—one of the least wanted effects of the motor vehicle—is something with which we’re all familiar and for which most of us have an answer. But which solution is best?Some people suggest for better roads，others for cars to be banned(禁止) from city centers and yet others say better public transport would attract drivers from their lonely and boring journeys.But the important question is what natural power creates a big city center. We are，after all，in an age of electronic communication; our big shopping areas have moved out of city centers，and our living areas moved out of them long ago.Yet some force causes offices and service industries related to them to gather in London or New York or Tokyo. This suggests that far from the problems of a crowded environment forcing companies and people to move out，there is a critical (重大的) size beyond which more companies are attracted to move in. Nobody seems to know why，yet the answer is important to theway traffic jam is dealt with.61. Which of the following is NOT mentioned in the passage as the cause of the traffic problem?A. The poor public transport.B. The over concentration of shopping centers.C. The great number of cars in the city centers.D. The bad road conditions.62. According to the passage，offices and their associated service industries move to big cities because of_______.A. the convenience of communicationB. the gathering of companiesC. some unknown forceD. the convenience of shopping63. The word “This”(Line 2，Para.4) refers to_______.A. some forceB. traffic jamC. the force that causes offices to move in or outD. the fact that companies gather in big cities64. This passage is most likely taken from_______.A. a novelB. a TV playC. an instructionD. a news report65. The topic of this passage would probably be_______.A. Best Answer to Traffic ProblemB. The Banning of Cars in the City CenterC. The Formation of City CenterD. Searching for Ways to Solve Traffic ProblemPassage 4Mrs. Cox teaches English in a large high school located in theinner area of a big city on the West Coast. Ever since she was a young girl，Mrs. Cox had wanted to become a teacher. She has taught eight years now and hasn’t changed her mind.After she graduated from high school，Mrs. Cox went on to college. Four years later，she received her bachelor’s degree (B.A.) in English and her teaching certificate. Then she was qualified to teach in the secondary schools of her state. In the summers，Mrs. Cox takes more classes. Someday she hopes to get a master’s degree (M.A.).With an M.A.，she will receive a higher salary.The school day at Mrs. Cox’s high school，like that in many high schools in the United States，is divided into six periods of one hour each. Mrs. Cox must teach five of these six periods. During her free period，which for her is from 2 to 3 p.m.，Mrs. Cox must meet with parents，order supplies，make out examinations，check assignments，and take care of many other things. In short，her free period isn’t really free at all. Mrs. Cox works steadily from the time she arrives at school in the morning until the time she leaves for home late in the afternoon.66. Mrs. Cox wants to be a teacher because_______.A. she likes teachingB. she is a young girlC. she has many problems to deal withD. she doesn’t mind what she is doing67.

Each of the passage is followed by five questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. Choose the best one and mark your answer on the ANSWER SHEET with a single line through the center. Passage OneThe worst thing about television and radio is that they entertain us, saving us the trouble of entertaining ourselves.A hundred years ago, before all these devices were invented, if a person wanted to entertain himself with a song or a piece of music, he would have to do the singing himself or pock up a violin and play it. Now, all he has to do is turn on the radio or TV. As a result, singing and music have declined.Italians used to sing all the time. Now, they only do it in Hollywood movies. Indian movies are mostly a series of songs and dances trapped around silly stories. As a result, they don’t do much singing in Indian villages anymore. Indeed, ever since radio first came to life, there has been a terrible decline in amateur (业余的) singing throughout the world.There are two reasons for this sad decline: One, human beings are astonishingly lazy. Put a lift in a building, and people would rather take it than climb even two flights of steps. Similarly, invent a machine that sings, and people would rather let the machine sing than sing themselves. The other reason is that people are easily embarrassed. When there is a famous, talented musician readily available by pushing a button, which amateur violinist or pianist would want to try to entertain family or family or friends by himself?These earnest reflections came to me recently when two CDs arrived in the mail. They are historic recordings of famous writers reading their own works. It was thrilling to hear the voices from a long dead past in the late 19th century. But today, reading out loud anything is no longer common. Today, we sing songs to our children until they are about two, we read simple books to them till they are about five, and once they have learnt to read themselves, we become deaf. We’re alive only to the sound of the TV and the stereo (立体声音响) .I count myself extremely lucky to have been born before TV became so common. I was about six before TV appeared. To keep us entertained my mother had to do a good deal of singing and tell us endless tales. It was the same in many other homes. People spoke a language; they song it, they recited it; it was something they could feel.Professional actors’ performance is extraordinarily revealing. But I still prefer my own reading. Because it’s mine. For the same reason, people find karaoke (卡拉OK) liberating. It is almost he only electronic thing that gives them bake their own voice. Even if their voices are hopelessly out of tune, at least it is meaningful self–entertainment.36. The main idea of this passage is that .A. TV and radio can amuse us with beautiful songs and musicB. TV and radio prevent us from self–entertainmentC. people should sing songs and read books aloud themselvesD. parents should sing songs and read books aloud to their children37. According to the passage, Italians .A. only sing songs in HollywoodB. are no longer fond of musicC. only sing and dance in villagesD. don’t sing much nowadays38. Which of the following is NOT the reason for the decline in amateur singing?A. It is easier for people to please themselves with songs through TV and radio.B. Amateurs feel embarrassed for they cannot sing as well as the professionals.C. People don’t want to take the trouble to sing songs themselves.D. Famous and talented musicians can easily be met.39. When hearing the voices from the famous writers of a long dead past, the author .A. was very excitedB. was very frightenedC. thought that writers shouldn’t read their own booksD. thought the past recording was not of good quality40. The author’s attitude toward karaoke is .A. negativeB. positiveC. neutralD. indifferentPassage TwoIf those ―mad moments‖—when you can’t remember what your friend has told you or where you left your keys —are becoming more frequent, mental exercises and a healthy brain diet may help.Just as bodies require more maintenance with the passing years, so do brains, which scientists now know show sighs of aging as early as the 20s and 30s. ―Brain aging starts at a very young age, younger than any of us had imagined and these processed continue gradually over the years,‖ said Dr. Gary Small, the director of the Center on Aging at the University of California, Los Angeles. ―I’m convinced that it is never too early to get started on a mental or brain-fitness program,‖ he added.In his book, The Memory Bible, the 51-year-old neuroscientist (神经学家) lists what he refers to as the 10 suggestions for keeping the brain young. They include training memory, building skills, reducing stress, mental exercises, brain food and a healthy lifestyle. It’s a game plan for keeping brain cells sparking and neural networks in perfect shape.―Misplacing your keys a couple of times don’t mean you should start labeling your cabinets. Memory loss is not an inevitable consequence of aging .Our brains can fight back,‖ he said.Small provides the weapons for a full–scale attack.Simple memory tests give an indication of what you are up against and tools such as ―look‖ and ―connect‖ are designed to make sure that important things such as names and dates are never forgotten. ―So if you wanted to learn names and faces, for example, you meet Mrs. Beatty and you notice a distinguishing facial feature, maybe a high eyebrow,‖ said Small. ―You associate the firstthing that comes to mind. I think of the actor Warren Beatty so I create a mental picture of Warren Beatty kissing her brow.‖Small admits it may sound a bit strange but he says it works. ―Mental exercises could be anything from doing crossword puzzles and writing with your left hand if you are right handed or learning a langrage. It could be anything that is fun that people enjoy doing,‖ he added.He also recommends physical exercise, a low–fat diet and eating foods rich in fatty acids, such as fish, nuts, and fruits and vegetables high in antioxidants (抗氧化剂) including blueberries and onions in addition to reducing stress.41. The ―mad moment‖ in the first paragraph refers to the time when we .A. don’t listen to our friendsB. have lost our important thingsC. have some mental problemsD. have a bad memory42. In this passage, the author mainly tells us .A. everyone has bad memories sometimes no matter how old he isB. we can prevent our mind from aging with various methodsC. brain aging starts at the time when we are in the 20s and 30sD. memory lost is not the sign that we are getting old43. By giving the example ―you meet Mrs. Beatty and you notice a distinguishing …eyebrow‖, Dr.Small is trying to explain the memory tool of .A. lookB. physical exercisesC. connectD. mental exercises44. By saying ―I think of the actor Warren BEATTY so I create … her brow‖’ Dr. Small is trying toexplain the memory tool of .A. remembering facial featuresB. reducing stressC. connecting related thingsD. observing carefully45. Mental exercises do NOT include ______ .A. writing with one’s left handB. learning a foreign languageC. doing crossword puzzlesD. taking picturesPassage ThreeIt may look like just another playgroup, but a unique educational center in Manhattan is really giving babies something to talk about. ―It’s a school to teach languages to babies and young children with games, songs—some of the classed also have arts and crafts,‖ said Francois Thibaut, the founder of the Langrage Workshop for Children, a place where babies become bilingual.Children as young as few months are exposed to French and Spanish before many of them can even speak English. Educators use special songs and visual (视觉的) aids to ensure that when a childis ready to talk, the languages will not be so foreign. ―Children have a unique capacity to learn many languages at the same time,‖ said Thibaut. ―Already at nine months, a child can tell the differences between the sounds he or she has heard since birth and the sounds he or she has never heard yet.‖Thibaut says the best time to expose children to language is from birth to 3 years old. For the last 30 years, the school has been using what it calls the Thibarut Technique, a system that combines language lessons with child’s play.―I always wanted to learn Spanish, but by the time I got to high school it was too late to pick it up and speak fluently,‖ said Marc Lazare, who enrolled his son at the school. ―I figured at this age, two, it’s a perfect time for him to learn.‖Aside from learning a language, the kids also gain a tremendous sense of confidence. One young student boasted that aside from French, she can speak five languages (though that included ―monkey ―and ―lion‖) . The school gives children the tools to communicate, and sometimes that gives them an advantage over their parents. ―I think they sometimes speak French when they think I won’t understand them,‖ said parent Foster Gibbons.Depending on the age group, classes run from 45 minute up to 2 hours. Even when students are not in class, the program is designed to make sure the learning continues at home. Tapes and books are included so kids can practice on their own.46. The word ―bilingual‖ in the first paragraph probably means _____ .A. capable of using two languagesB. both clever and confidentC. aware of their own limitations and strengthsD. independent of their parents47. The passage tells us that the best time for a child to learn languages is ________ .A. before seven years oldB. from birth to three years oldC. in his childhoodD. in his teens48. According to Thibaut, it is possible _______ .A. for children to take advantage of their parents by using a foreign languageB. to expose children to a foreign language after they can speak EnglishC. to combine language lessons with sports gamesD. for children to learn several languages at the same time49. The school teaches language by _______ .A. exposing children to the new environmentB. using modern facilities and equipmentC. combining language lessons with gamesD. giving children confidence50. The best title for this text is ______ .A. A Unique Language School for ChildrenB. The Foreign Language for Children to LearnC. Special Songs and Visual Aids in LearningD. The Best Way to Learn a Foreign LanguagePassage FourThe girls in this sixth grade class in East Palo Alto, California, all have the same access to computers as boys. But researchers say, by the time they get to high school, they are victims of what the researchers call a major new gender (性别) gap in technology. Janice Weinman of the American Association of University Women says, ―Girls tend to be less comfortable than boys with the computer. They use it more for word processing rather than for problem solving, rather than to discover new ways in which to understand information.‖After re-examining a thousand studies, the American Association of University Women researchers found that girls make up only a small percentage of students in computer science classes. Girls consistently rate themselves significantly lower than boys in their ability and confidence I using computers. And they use computers less often than boys outside the classroom.An instructor of a computer lab says he’s already noticed some differences. Charles Cheadle of Cesar Chavez School says, ―Boys are not so afraid they might do something that will harm the computer, whereas girls are afraid they might break it somehow.‖Six years ago, the software company Purple Moon noticed that girls’ computer usage was falling behind boys. Karen Gould says, ―The number one reason girls told us they don’t like computer games is not that they’re too violent, or too competitive. Girls just said they’re incredibly boring.‖Purple Monn says it found what girls want, characters they can relate to and story lines relative to what’s going on in their own lives. Karen Gould of Purple Moon Software ways, ―What we definitely found from girls is that there is no intrinsic (固有的) reason why they wouldn’t want to play on a computer; it was just a content thing.‖The sponsor of the study says it all boils down to this: the technology gender gap that separates the girls from the boys must be closed if women are to compete effectively with men in the 21st century.51. According to the passage, girls are victims of the gender gap in technology because _____ .A. they can not discover new ways to use computersB. they have the same access to computers as boysC. they are likely to be less comfortable with computersD. they can only use computers for word processing52. Girls often feel ______ .A. bored with computer gamesB. comfortable using computersC. it hard to use computers in word processingD. worried about using computers53. The research o girls and computers is ______ .A. based on a few recent articlesB. presented by one personC. based on thousands of studiesD. not considered well grounded54. The software company seems to think ______ .A. if girls had an equal chance of playing games, they would like computersB. if the software was more violent, girls would be more interestedC. if the software content was changed, girls would be more interestedD. if the character were funny, girls would like them better55. The gender gap needs to be closed because ______ .A. it isn’t fair that boys are allowed to use computers all the timeB. there isn’t enough money for upgrading computersC. most of the causes may boil down to a question of moneyD. the ability to use computers is important in today’s worldPart IV Close Test (15 minutes, 5 points)Directions: There are ten blanks in the following passage.

Whether it be sex, AIDS, school worries or family problems, adults are not considered up to the job.Until now, no one has asked Hong Kong youth, ―What do you think?‖ Some understanding of the emotions of Hong Kong’s youth, however, has come from the work of Dr. Jeffrey Day－at the University of Hong Kong. His survey of young people does not focus, for example, on how many drugs they take-but tries to answer the question why.Dr. Day hopes the results, which he plans to explain in full next week, will reveal what troubles －as well as pleases－today’s high-school students. Conclusions will be passed on not only to government departments but back to the schools which took part.Part VI Writing (30 minutes, 15 points)Directions: You are to write in no less than 120 words about the title ―Lifelong Learning‖.

He has to learn from a man to complete hisdevelopment.The father's job is to step in over time. If there is no father around, then the child depends more on finding other men --- at school, for example. Y et men are leaving teaching, especially in primary schools. This is a problem.They insisted, too, that they needed lots of extra support. Throughout primary school years and into high school, boys should spend a lot of time with their fathers and mothers, gettingtheir help, learning how to do things and enjoying their company.With regard to feelings, at this stage the father is more important. The boy is ready to learn from his father and listens to what he has to say. Often he will take more notice of his father.It's enough to drive a mother wild!Now is a good time for a father to do "little" things: playing in the yard on summer evenings, going for walks, telling stories about life, telling him about his own youth, workingon hobbies or sports together for the enjoyment of doing it. This is the time when good memories are laid down that will be healthy to your son, and you, for years to come.Although every boy is different, it's common for boys at this age to get a little argumentative (好争论的), restless and moody（闹情绪）. It's not that they are turning bad -- just that they are being born into a new self and birth always means struggle.I believe this is the age when we fail teenagers the most. In our society all we offer thosein the middle teens is "more of the same": more school. So it's little wonder that problems arise.11. According to the passage a boy needs the help of _________ to develop well.A) his mother only B) his father onlyC) neither his mother nor his father D) both his mother and father12. One problem for a boy's development is that ________.A) there are fewer men teaching in primary schoolsB) there are fewer women teaching in primary schoolsC) the boy's interests are changingD) the boy wants to act as a man13. The good time for a father to have an influence on his son is ________.A) when the boy is 14 B) when the boy is at primary schoolC) from about age 6 to the 14th birthday D) since the boy was born14. By the middle teens boys argue often with their parents. This means ________.A) they are turning badB) they are turning goodC) they are being born into a new selfD) they are rebelling against their parents15. The main idea of this passage is that ________.A) fathers play an equal role in raising boysB) mothers should feel comfortable when their sons' interests are changing.C) without fathers mothers can raise good menD) fathers should stay with their sons as much as possiblePassage BYukio is a twenty-four year old Japanese businessman. A few months ago, his company sent him to work at its New Y ork City office for half a year. This was his first experience livingin the United States.Yukio thought New Y ork City was very exciting, but he also found it very strange. It was difficult for him to get used to it. He found it strange to be with people from so many different races. He sometimes found American people very direct, open and honest though at the samehe felt curious about them. He wished he could become friends with some Americans, but he wasn't sure how to get along with them. Most of the time, he felt very lonely and missed Japan.But soon some sunshine came into his life. A new clerk came to work in his office part-time. She was American, as were most of the clerks in his office. Her name was Cindy.She was very clever, friendly and good-looking. Cindy was also a student studying business. Cindy and Yukio got along very well. They talked together whenever possible. Cindy told Yukio her dreams of having a successful business. She said she was not really interested in getting married or having children. She wanted to use all of her energy for business. Yukio found Cindy very interesting and very different from the women he knew before. In a similar way, Cindy found Y ukio unique among all the men that she knew. Soon the two fell in love and they were both very happy.But now it is almost time for Y ukio to return to Japan. Y ukio wants Cindy to return to Japan with him and marry him. But Cindy doesn't speak any Japanese. She fears that Yukio wants her to become an ordinary wife and have children right away. Cindy wants Y ukio to stay in New Y ork City.They feel very bad, not knowing what they should do. Should they stay in New York? Should they go to Japan? Sometimes they think they should separate, but they also feel they cannot live without each other.16. A few months ago, Yukio __________.A) was sent to New Y ork City by his companyB) went to New Y ork City for a meetingC) was told to open a new office for his company in New Y ork CityD) met his former girlfriend Cindy in New Y ork City17.

The main idea of the passage is: ________.A) There can be difficulties in falling in love with a person from another cultureB) American people and Japanese people cannot understand each otherC) A man misses his countryD) A businessman and his clerk often fall in love with each otherPassage CThe earth is not the only body that travels around the sun. With it are eight other planets(行星), fellow members of the sun's family.Two of them are nearer while the other six are farther from the sun than the earth is. Thefarther they are, the longer trips they make around the sun. People noticed long ago that these traveling bodies moved around in the sky in fixed paths. It is a force called gravity (重力) thatholds them in their paths.We know that every little bit of matter in the universe (宇宙) pulls upon every other bit of matter. Because the sun is so large, the pulls between the sun and the planets are thus great. If itwere not for these pulls, the planets would fly off into space. In the same way there exists a pull between the earth and the moon, which keeps the moon traveling in its orbit (轨道) around our planet, the earth. Gravity holds you to the earth’s surface, and pulls back to it the ball which you throw into the air. Of course, the ball also pulls on the larger earth but the earth is so muchlarger that the pull is not noticed.Now remember that large bodies bring to bear a greater pull on any body than smallerones which contain less material. But each object in the universe, no matter how small, pulls onall other objects to some degree.21. The earth is __________ in the sun family.A) one of the nine fellow members B) bigger than two of the other bodiesC) smaller than the other bodies D) nearer than two fellow members22. These traveling bodies __________.A) make much longer trips when they travel around the sunB) have the same traveling pathsC) move along certain paths around the sunD) have their paths changed a bit23.

The pull makes the ball __________.A) you throw into the air fall back to the earthB) go up into the skyC) fly around the bodyD) none of the above25. Which of the following is TRUE?A) The smaller matters fly off into space.B) We do not notice the pull of the moon.C) The moon travels around the earth because it's nearer to the earth than the other fellowmembers in the sun's family.D) The larger the bodies are, the greater their pull is.Part III.

During the long vacation I was accepted as a trainee bus conductor. I found the job fiercely demanding even on a short route with a total of about two dozen passengers. I pulled the wrong tickets, forgot the change and wrote up my log (行程记录) at the end of each trip in a way that drew hollow laughter from the inspectors. The inspectors were likely to check at any time. A conductor with twenty years' service could be dismissed if an inspector caught him accepting money without pulling a ticket.It was hot that summer: 100° Fahrenheit (华氏) every day. Inside the bus it was 30° hotter still. It was so jammed inside that my feet weren't touching the floor. I couldn't blink (眨眼睛) the sweat out of my eyes. There was no hope of collecting any fares.In these circumstances I was scarcely to blame. I didn't even know where we were, but I guessed we were at the top just before Market Street. I pressed the bell, the doors closed, and the bus surged forward. There were shouts and yells from down the back, but I thought they were the angry cries of passengers who had not got on. Too late I realized that they were coming from within the bus. The automatic doors at the back of the bus had closed around an old lady's neck as she was getting on. Her head was inside the bus. The rest of her, carrying a shopping bag was outside. I knew none of this at the time.When I at last signaled the driver to stop, he crashed to a halt and opened the automatic doors. The woman dropped to the road. Unfortunately, the car behind turned out to be full of inspectors. Since it would have made headlines if a university student had almost half-killed a woman of an advanced age, I was given theopportunity to leave quietly.1.What do we learn about the inspectors in the first paragraph?A. They found the writer amusing.B. They never wore uniforms.C. They were feared by employees.D. They distrusted older employees.2.Why was the writer unable to do his job properly?A. He wasn't tall enough.B. The buses were too fast.C. People avoided paying.D. He couldn't move.3.The old lady in the incident described ________.A. was injuredB. faintedC. was draggedD. hit her head4.When the incident with old lady happened, ________.A. the writer had already decided to give up the jobB. the writer's employers wanted to avoid publicityC. the writer was offered the chance to continueD. the consequences were as the writer expected5.What is the writer's attitude now to the job?A. He feels responsible for the incident that ended it.Questions 6 to 10 are based on the same passage or dialog. My love of nature goes right back to my childhood, to the times when I stayed on my grandparent's farm in Suffolk. I think it was my grandmother who encouraged me more than anyone: she taught me the names of wildflowers and got me interested in looking at the countryside, so it seemed obvious to go on to do Zoology at university.I didn't get my first camera until after I'd graduated, when I was due to go diving in Norway and needed a method of recording the sea creatures I would find there. My father didn't know anything about photography, but he bought me an Exacta, which was really quite a good camera for the time, and I went off to take my first pictures of sea anemones (海葵) and starfish (海星). I became keen very quickly, and I learnt how to develop and print.I've tried from the beginning to produce pictures which are always biologically correct. There are people who will alter thingsdeliberately: you don't pick up sea creatures from the middle of the shore and take them down to attractive pools at the bottom of the shore without knowing you're doing it.There can be a lot of ignorance in people's behaviour towards wild animals and it's a problem that more and more people are going to wild places: while some animals may get used to cars, they won't get used to people suddenly rushing up to them. The sheer pressure of people, coupled with the fact there are increasingly few places where no-one else has photographed, means that over the years, life has become much more difficult for the professional wildlife photographers.Nevertheless (然而), wildlife photographers play a very important part in educating people about what is out there and what needs conserving. Although photography can be an enjoyable pastime (消遣), as it is to many people, it is also something that plays a very important part in educating young and old alike. 6.The author decided to go to university and study ZoologyB. He thinks that he was unfairly treated by the inspectors.C. He is ashamed that he was incapable of doing it properly.D. He believes that it was an impossible job to do well.because ________.A. she wanted to improve her life in the countrysideB. she was persuaded to do so by her grandmotherC. she was keen on the natural worldD. she wanted to stop moving around all the time7.How is the author different from some of the other wildlifephotographers she meets?A. She tries to make her photographs as attractive aspossible.B. She takes photographs which record accurate naturalconditions.C. She likes to photograph plants as well as wildlife.D. She knows the best places to find wildlife.8.The author now finds it more difficult to photograph wildanimals because ________.A. there are fewer of themB. they have become more nervous of peopleC. it is harder to find suitable placesD. they have become frightened of cars9.According to the author, wildlife photography is importantbecause it can make people realize that ________.A. photography is an enjoyable hobbyB. we learn little about wildlife at schoolC. it is worthwhile visiting the countrysideD. it is important to look after wild animals10.Which of the following describes the author?A. Proud.B. Sensitive.C. Aggressive.D. Disappointed.Part 5 Reading Comprehension (Banked Cloze)(每小题：1 分)Directions: Fill in the blanks in the following passage by selecting suitable words from the Word Bank. You may not use any of the words more than once.Questions 1 to 10 are based on the following passage.When you look at my friend John you cannot tell that he is disabled at all.

For questions 1-7, choose the best answer from the four choices marked A, B, C and D. For questions 8-10, complete the sentences with the information given in the passage.Questions 1 to 10 are based on the same passage or dialog.The Peace CorpsThe Peace Corps is an independent federal agency of the United States designed to promote mutual understanding between Americans and the outside world. The Peace Corps was established by executive order in 1961 by President John F. Kennedy and approved by Congress as a permanent agency within the State Department later that year. The program came about during the Cold War and was designed to oppose the Soviet challenge to Western influence in the widely open Third World area of superpower competition. More than 180,000 Americans have served in the Peace Corps since its beginning.Purpose & functionThe program officially has three goals. The first is to help the people of interested countries and areas in meeting their needs for trained workers. The second is to help promote a better understanding of Americans on the part of the peoples served. And the third is to help promote a better understanding of other peoples on the part of Americans.The Peace Corps works by first announcing its availability to foreign governments. These governments then determine areas in which the organization can be involved. The organization then matches the requested assignments to its pool of applicants and sends those volunteers with the appropriate skills to the countries that first made the requests.Background & historySince the end of the Second World War, various members of the United States Congress had proposed bills to establish volunteerorganizations in the Third World. In 1952 Senator Brien McMahon proposed an "army" of young Americans to act as "bringers of democracy". Privately funded non-religious organizations had been sending volunteers overseas since the 1950s.John F. Kennedy first announced his own idea for such an organization during the 1960 presidential campaign at a late-night speech at the University of Michigan in Ann Arbor on October 14. During a later speech in San Francisco, California on November 1, he named this proposed organization the "Peace Corps". Critics of the program (including Kennedy's opponent, and future United States president, Richard M. Nixon) claimed the program would be nothing but a place for young people to hide from military service. Others doubted whether college-aged volunteers had the necessary skills. The idea was popular among most college students, however, and Kennedy continued to pursue it, asking respected academics such as Max Millikan and Chester Bowles to help him outline the organization and its goals. During his opening address as president, Kennedy again promised to create the program.Established & approvedOn March 1, 1961, Kennedy signed an Executive Order which officially started the Peace Corps. Concerned with the growing tide of revolutionary feelings in the Third World, Kennedy saw the Peace Corps as a means of countering the notions of the "Ugly American", especially in the emerging nations of postcolonial Africa and Asia.On March 4, Kennedy appointed Sargent Shriver to be the program's first director. Shriver was tasked with fleshing out the organization, which he did with the help of Warren W. Wiggins and others. Shriver and his think tank outlined the three major goals of the Peace Corps and decided the number of volunteers they needed to recruit. The program began recruiting volunteers that following July.Until about 1967, applicants to the Peace Corps had to pass a placement test that tested "general knowledge" (knowledge of various skills needed for various Peace Corps assignments) and language ability. After an address from Kennedy, who was introduced by Rev. Russell Fuller of Memorial Christian Church, Disciples of Christ, on August 28, 1961, the first group of volunteers left for Ghana and Tanzania. The program was formally approvedby Congress on September 22, 1961 and within two years over 7,300 Peace Corps volunteers were serving in 44 countries. This number would jump to 15,000 in June of 1966, the largest number in the organization's history.Early troubles for the Peace CorpsThough the organization was begun with the noblest of intentions, it experienced a big controversy in its very first year of operation. On October 13, 1961, a postcard written by a volunteer named Marjorie Michelmore in Nigeria to her boyfriend in the US caused some problems. In it, she described Nigeria as "ugly and absolutely primitive in living conditions". This postcard, however, never made it out of the country. A student at the University College at Ibadan found it and made copies to distribute around campus. Nigerian students accused the volunteers of being spies of the US government. Soon the international press picked up the story and this led several people in the US administration to question the future of the program as a whole. Nigerian students protested the program, and the American volunteers hid themselves away and eventually began a hunger strike. After several days, the Nigerian students agreed to open a dialogue with the Americans.Independent statusIn July 1971, President Nixon brought the Peace Corps under the umbrella agency, ACTION. The Peace Corps would remain under ACTION until President Jimmy Carter declared it fully independent in a 1979 executive order. This independent status would be further secured when Congress passed legislation in 1981 to make the organization an independent federal agency.Programs branching outAt this time, the Peace Corps began branching out past its traditional concerns of education- and agriculture-related projects. In 1982, Director Loret Miller Ruppe began several newbusiness-related programs. For the first time, a large number of conservative and Republican volunteers joined the group of overseas volunteers, and the organization continued to reflect the evolving political and social conditions in the United States.Funding cuts during the early 1980s dropped the number of volunteers to 5,380, its lowest level since the organization's early years. Funding began to increase in 1985, and Congress passedan initiative to raise the number of volunteers to 10,000 by 1992.After the September 11, 2001 attacks alerted the nation to growing anti-US feelings in the Middle East, President George W. Bush pledged to double the size of the organization within five years as a part of the War on Terrorism. For 2004, Congress passed a budget increase at $325 million, $30 million above that of 2003 but $30 million below the President's request.Now, the Peace Corps is trying to double the number of volunteers it sends abroad by 2007. This is in accordance with Bush's request in 2002. According to Joseph Kennedy, "The American reputation has taken a hit in the last couple of years. The need for the Peace Corps couldn't be more urgent than it is right now, at this moment. The Peace Corps shows what is best in America, the generosity of spirit." The Peace Corps is trying to get more diverse volunteers of different ages. This is important so that the Peace Corps can look "more like America" (in the words of Vasquez, its director).1.When first designed, the purpose of the Peace Corps was to________________.A. promote President John F. Kennedy with his executivepowerB. promote the Cold War against Soviet challenges andinfluencesC. improve mutual understanding between the States and theoutside worldD. strengthen the US State Department with a permanentagency2.One of the Peace Corps' three official goals is to________________.A. get help from interested countriesB. announce its availabilityC. educate Americans about other peoplesD. make countries interested in America3.Richard M.

Thomas had fought a long and hard battle against lung cancer for three years. Unfortunately, he has broken the promise that he and Melinda had made: to be with each other for every birthday. Melinda knew this was unrealistic but agreed to the promise for Thomas’s sake.“Thomas, you are completely a dreamer!” Melinda shouted to Thomas as h e dragged on about living on an island with his beautiful wife. That s what she loved about him most—he had a vivid imagination. They got married at age eighteen and began having children right away. Mary came within the year，followed by Thomas Benjamin II, Lilly-Ann, and Joseph “Little Joey' George. The family lived an exultant life filled with laughter and love.“Mom!” Lilly shouted, but it really sounded like a howl. Melinda had lost herself in thinking about the life she had shared with her late husband. Lilly pushed her down the long dark halls of the nursing home until they arrived at the recreational room.When the doors opened, Melinda put her hand over her mouth and was completely speechless. The room was crowded with the people nearest and dearest to her and the warmth and love was felt instantly. The night went on; stories and cocktails were shared and everything was perfect. However, when Melinda caught a moment to herself she looked around at her family. With a smi le on her face, she raised her Manhattan and called out for a toast. “This one is for you, Thomas，though you are not here.”36. Why did Thomas break his promise?A. He was busy with his work.B. He died of lung cancer.C. He had to serve in the army.D. He stopped loving Melinda.37. Which of the following best explains “exultant” underlined in Paragraph 2?A. Peaceful.B. Simple.C. Stressful.D. Happy.38. What can we infer from the last paragraph?A. Melinda，children forgot their father.B. Melinda was tired of noise.C. Melinda missed her husband badly.D. Melinda liked to drink alcohol,39. What can be a suitable title for the text?A. A Particular BirthdayB. A Woman at a Nursing HomeC. Memories of Old DaysD. A Big Surprise for MelindaPassage BSpotify can tell if you’re sad. Here’s why that should scare you. Want to figure out if someone is a patient with a mental disability? Ask them what their favorite song is. A New York University study last year found that people who loved Eminem's Lose Yourself and Justin Bieber's What Do You Mean? were more likely to have trouble with mental disabilities than people who were into Dire Straits.Over the past few years，Spotify has been improving the ability to analyze information to help businessmen target consumers with advertisements made specially for their needs. They conclude this from the sort of music you’re listening to, combined with where and when you’re listening to it, along with third-party data that might be available.Now, to be clear, there’s nothing significantly illegal about what Spotify is doing with your information. I certainly don't think that they are working with shadowy consulting firms to serve you ads selling a culture struggle while you're listening to music that suggests you might be in a terrible situation. However, I find it disappointing that our personal, private moments with music are increasingly being turned into information points and offered to advertisers.You can see where this could go，can’t you? As ad targeting gets ever more accurate, businessmen will have the ability to target our feelings in potentially improper ways. According to one study, you are more likely to spend more on a product if you’re feeling sad. You can imagine some companies might take advantage of that. And on that note，I’m feeling a littledown about all this. Head off to treat myself to something expensive.40. What's the purpose of the first paragraph?A. To introduce a new song.B. To draw readers’ attention.C. To help more patients.D. To promote a new medium.41. Spotify improves its ability to analyze information to______.A. provide services for the governmentB. work with shadowy consulting firmsC. get listeners' personal informationD. help businessmen attract consumers42. What s th e author’s attitude towards Spo tify?A. Uncertain.B. Supportive.C. Positive.D. Dissatisfied.43. Who is the text probably designed for?A. Internet users.B. Officials.C. Researchers.D. Managers.Passage CAn exciting landing process of Chang'e-4 lunar probe (月球探测器）was seen through the monitor at Beijing Aerospace Control Center in Beijing，Jan. 3, 2019. It touched down on the far side of the moon at 10:26 a.m. Beijing Time, becoming the first spacecraft soft-landing on the moon’s unknown side nev er visible from Earth.China’s Chang'e-4 probe has started the exploration on the far side of the moon thanks to the relay satellite that provides a communication link with ground control. The relay satellite, named Queqiao, meaning Magpie Bridge, after a Chinese legend, was launched on May 21,2018，and became the first communication satellite operating in the halo orbit, nearly 500,000 km from the earth. It can also provide communication for probes from other countries. The relay satellite will also be used for scientific and technological experiments. The maximum distance between the satellite and the Chang'e-4 probe on the far side of the moon is 79,000 km. The satellite processes data from the probe and sends it to Earth.The satellite can stay in its orbit for a long time due to its relatively low fuel consumption, as the earth’s and moon's gravity balances its orbital moving. While in orbit, it can “see” both the earth and the far side of the moon.The concept of using a relay satellite in the halo orbit was first put forward by U.S. space expertsin the 1960s, but was realized by Chinese space engineers.Researchers hope to use the cameras on the satellite to record asteroids (小行星）hitting the far side of the moon. To control the cost of the Chang'c-4 probe, the relay satellite was designed to be relatively small, weighing about 400 kg.Researchers had just 30 months to develop the satellite, putting them under high pressure. To promote public interest in space exploration, the China National Space Administration invited people to write down their wishes for lunar and space exploration, and the relay satellite carries the names of tens of thousands of participants and their messages.44. What do we learn from the second paragraph?A. The relay satellite was launched on Jan. 3, 2019.B.Chang'e-4 probe was the first communication satellite.C. The relay satellite only explores the far side of the moon.D. The relay satellite can handle data from Chang'e-4 probe.45. Why was the size of the relay satellite relatively small?A. To reduce the cost as much as possible.B. To make it circle Moon for a longer time.C. To avoid being crashed by other satellites.D. To follow American space experts，advice.46. What made researchers suffer from great stress?A. Few people interested in the exploration on the moon.B. The relay satellite carrying too much equipment.C. Their lacking enough time to develop the relay satellite.D. People’s never being optimistic about the relay satellite47. What is the main idea of the text?A. China is a new space power after the USA.B.Change-4 probe lands on Moon’s far side.C. Chinese space engineers make much progress.D. Space exploration is a dangerous challenge.Passage DLast year marked the 100th anniversary of the end of World War I. There were events around theworld in memory of those who died in the conflict. We have picked out three of them in European countries. Let's take a look.BelgiumIn a park, the famous Belgian artist Koen Vanmechelen had an exhibition called Coming World, Remember Me. The work consisted of 600,000 individual(单独的）clay sculptures, one for exhibition was a big egg made of clay each person killed during the World War. In the center of the exhibition was a big egg made of clay, symbolizing a new world.UKIn a small town called Aldridge. almost 100 houses in one street were covered with 24,000poppies and statues of sold.They stood for the men from the area who had been killed in the war. The flowers were chosen because of a poem written by the Canadian doctor John McCrea in1915. They made people think of fields of blood.FranceThe British artist Guy Denning arrived in La Feuille，a small town in the northwest of France, to stick life-size drawings of soldiers who never came back home. Armed with glue and a brush, Denning stuck his drawings carefully on walls. Before long 112 men, ma.nly young adults, were brought back to mind, if not to life.48. What do we know about Coming World. Remember Me?A. It's the name of an exhibition.B. It's a film about World War I.C. It's a work standing for peace.D. It's a sculpture made of clay.49. Why were poppies chosen to symbolize the dead soldiers?A. The British people preferred them.B. They showed the cruelty of war.C. A Canadian doctor suggested them.D. The fields were filled with them.50. How was the end of World War I marked in France?A. A memorial to the dead soldiers was built.B. 112 wounded soldiers in the war were helped.C. Drawings of some dead soldiers were put up.D. Young adults were encouraged to join the army.Part IV Skimming and Scanning (10%)Technology in education: Current trendsA)Computers and Internet connections are becoming widely available in schools and classrooms. In 1999, 99 percent of teachers in the United States had access to a computer in their schools, and 84 percent had one or more computers in their classrooms. At the same time, Internet connections were also widespread, with 95 percent of schools and 63 percent of classrooms having access. Worldwide, many countries are making the creation and diffusion of information and communications technology (ICT) an important priority.The use of technology to find educational resourcesB) In the past, teachers attempting a problem-based curriculum felt the need to limit problems to those for which they had expertise or the local library had resources. Now the World Wide Web brings a seemingly endless amount of information on almost any subject, and it is possible for students to choose topics based on personal interest rather than availability of resources.C) Internet research projects are gaining popularity. In the spring of 1998, 30 percent of teachers surveyed (and 70 percent of those with high-speed Internet connections) reported they had assigned Internet research tasks to their students during the school year. Use of the Internet to gather information for solving problems sometimes resembles a modern version of library research, in which students gather and synthesize information from published reports. Despite the fact that the task seems traditional, the characteristics of this new medium require special skills for students. The sheer volume of information allows students to study almost any topic, but also makes it more difficult to locate precisely the right information from among the thousands, or even millions, of sites. In addition, the ease of publishing materials on the Internet increases the likelihood that students will encounter inaccurate or biased information. As a result, students must learn new strategies for conducting searches and evaluating the information thatthey retrieve.D) Students carrying out scientific investigations can use the Internet to make observations and collect data. For example, the fourth and fifth graders in California collected insects and sent them to San Diego State University. Using two-way audio and video connecting the school and the university, scientists guided the students in using an electron microscope to examine their specimens. Technology has made it possible to collect data from places students could never visit. In recent projects, high school students explored the floor of the Monterey Bay by studying the video from remotely operated robots, and middle school students were given time to use the Hubble telescope. Students also use technology to collect data in their schools and communities. For example, using handheld computers outfitted with various types of probes （探测仪），students can monitor the water quality at various locations in nearby streams or lakes. By transmitting their individual readings to a laptop computer in a field laboratory they can quickly graph their data and visually compare readings.The use of technology to summarize and present findingsE) In the past, students memorized and used formulas and models created by others to solve problems. Students often used these formulas, especially in the early stages of learning, with little understanding. In the early 21st century computer tools provide the opportunity for students to construct and test their own models using tools such as spreadsheets （电子制表软件）or concept maps （概念图）. This type of instruction deepens students' understanding of abstract concepts and allows these concepts to be taught at an earlier age.F) Once students have summarized their data and other information, they typically communicate their findings to others. Writing reports is still the most widespread use of ICT, with 61 percent of US teachers assigning students word-processing tasks. In addition to text, students also use computer-created graphics, videos, and animations to communicate their ideas.G) The teacher is not the only audience for students' presentations. Students frequently expect to present their work to and receive feedback from their peers and the world outside their classroom. Whether they are using presentation software to accompany a face-to也cepresentation or developing materials to put on the Web, the trend is for students to be able to communicate their work to a broad audience. This increases students' perception that problem-based learning is real work for real audiences.The use of technology for collaboration and distance educationH) There are many opportunities for individual students to use technology to enhance their learning. These include online courses that provide students in remote locations with opportunities for customized curriculum and advanced placement courses （先修课程）. These courses are conducted entirely online and offer asynchronous （异步的）interaction among faculty and students. Because they allow students to participate anytime and from anywhere, online courses are becoming increasingly popular among postsecondary （高等教育）students whose job and personal commitments do not allow them to meet a regular class schedule.I) Opportunities for interaction with peers from other countries can also contribute to knowledge and understanding of other cultures. ICT makes this type of communication possible for anyone with Internet access. For example, the Kidlink project encourages students up to age 15 to use the Internet to build a global network of friends. Kidlink participants discuss issues ranging from how to make and keep friends to war and peace.J) Monitoring students' independent learning in these flexible environments will be supported by sophisticated new assessment technologies that will help teachers collect and analyze students' data and make instructional decisions. These tools will continually assess students' work and provide feedback to them and their teachers. Such assessment has the potential to make time-consuming standardized testing unnecessary and to personalize the curriculum for every student. Ubiquitous，well-integrated technology tools will bring educators closer to redefine the educational enterprise and provide customized, just-in-time solutions for the learning needs of students.____1 Students find it more difficult to locate the right information from among a large number of websites.____2 Teachers will use sophisticated new technologies to assess students' learning in flexible environments and make instructional decisions.____3 Collecting information from the Internet is similar to that in the library as students obtain published reports and process the information in both cases.____4 While teachers had to limit problems to those with resources in the process of teaching in the past, students nowadays can make their own interest-based choices because of a large amount of information available on many subjects.____5 Students of higher education prefer online courses to those given at fixed time and in fixed places due to their other businesses.____6 The Kidlink project encourages students up to 15 to make foreign friends and have discussions about a wide range of issues on the Internet.____7 Many countries around the world prioritize the creation and spread of ICT.____8 By means of two-way audio and video, scientists in San Diego State University instructed the fourth- and fifth-grade students in California to observe specimens with electronic devices. ____9 Face-to-face presentations accompanied by software indicate the trend that students can communicate their work with more people.____10 Because of computer tools, abstract concepts can be better understood by students and be taught at an earlier age.Part V Translation (10%)1. 孔子的许多思想，尤其是教育思想，对中国社会产生了深远的影响。

Part I Reading Comprehension (40﹪，40minutes)Directions:In this part there are four passages. Each passage is followed by a number ofcomprehension questions. Read the passage and answer the questions. Then mark your answer byblackening the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet.Passage 1After a day of work and play, the body needs to rest. Sleep is necessary for good health. Duringthis time, the body recovers from the activities of the previous day. The rest that you get whilesleeping enables your body to prepare itself for the next day.There are four levels of sleep, each being a little deeper than the one before. As you sleep, yourmuscles relax little by little. Your heart beast more slowly, and your brain slows down. After you reachthe fourth level, your body shifts back and forth from one level of sleep toanother. Although yourmind slows down, from time to time you will dream. Scientists who study sleep state that whendreaming occurs, your eyeballs begin to move quickly (although your eye-lids are closed). This stageof sleep is called REM, which stands for rapid eye movement.If you have trouble falling asleep, some people recommend breathing very slowly and very deeply.Other people believe that drinking warm milk will help make you drowsy. There is also an oldsuggestion that counting sheep will put you to sleep.1. A good title for this passage is ____.A. SleepB. Good HealthC. DreamsD. Work and Rest2. The word "drowsy" in the last paragraph means ____.A. sickB. asleepC. a little sleepyD. nosy3. This passage suggests that not getting enough sleep might make you ____.A. dream more oftenB. have poor healthC. nervousD. breathe quickly4. During REM, ____.A. your eyes move oftenB. you dreamC. you are restlessD. both A and B5. The average number of hours of sleep that an adult needs is ____.A. approximately six hoursB. around ten hoursC. about eight hoursD. not stated herePassage 2For years, children in the industrial areas of Europe and America seldom left their smoky cities tosee the beauties of the countryside. This was not because the woods and fields were always far away,but because they were too far from the city to permit people to make a day trip between morning andnightfall.In 1970, a young German schoolmaster had an idea which changed this state of affairs. Hedecided to turn his little schoolhouse into a dormitory or hostel for the summer holidays. Anyone whobrought his sleeping bag and cooking equipment along could stay there for a very small quantity ofmoney. The idea was a success. A few years later, the schoolhouse was much too small to hold themany young people who wanted to stay there, As a result, a dormitory was set up in an old castlenearby. This was the first Youth Hostel.Today, young students and workers of every country can meet in the hostel and get to knoweach other. When young people arrive at the hostel, they have only to show theircard of membershipin a hostel organization in their own country. This card will permit him to use the facilities of hostelsall over the world for very low prices.Often, at the evening meal, a group of boys and girls from various parts of the country or theworld will happen to meet at the same hostel. They may put their food together and prepare a dinnerwith many kinds of dishes. Sometimes a program will be organized after the meal with dances, songs,or short talks followed by a question period. One can learn a lot of things about other places, just bymeeting people who come from those places. For this reason, a few weeks spent "hostelling" canbe just as useful a part of one's education as classes in school.6. The author says children in the city seldom went to the woods and fields because ____.A. these places were too far away for them to go between morning and nightfallB. it was impossible for them to go and get back in one dayC. they were not old enough to take such a tripD. they were not permitted to go to these places7. By saying "His idea was a success", the author means ____.A. the school master made a lot of money and got richB. the school master became very famous among young studentsC. more and more young people went to the hostel for summer holidaysD. more and more young students came to study at his school8. According to the passage, young people can pay less for their stay in the hostel if ____.A. they share their food with each otherB. they can prove they have joined the hostel organizationC. they have brought enough equipment with themD. they can prove that they are from a foreign country9. In the author's opinion, young people can learn a lot during the days they speed "hostelling"because ____.A. they meet a lot of people from different placesB. they have such useful classes in the hostel as they don't have in schoolsC. they have more interesting activities than at schoolD. they are very much interested in life in the hostel10. Which do you think might be the proper tide for this passage?A. Youth Organization.B. International TravelC. Education Out of School.D. Summer Holidays.Passage 3One of the most authoritative voices speaking to us today is, of course, the voice of theadvertisers. It shouts at us from the television screen and the radio loudspeakers; waves to us fromevery page of the newspaper; signals to us from the roadside bill-boards all day and flashesmessages to us in colored lights all night.Advertising has been among England's biggest growth industries since the war. Perhaps thereason is that advertising saves the manufacturers from having to think about the customer.At the stage of designing and developing a product, there is quite enough to think about withoutworrying over whether anybody will want to buy it. The designer is busy enough without addingcustomer-appeal to all his other problems of man-hours and machine tolerance and stress factors. Sothey just go ahead and make the thing and leave it to the advertiser to find clever ways of making itappeal to purchasers after they have finished it, by pretending that it confers(赋予) status, or attractslove, or signifies manliness.Other manufacturers find advertising saves them from changing their product. And manufacturershate change. The ideal product is one that goes on unchanged forever. If, therefore, for one reason oranother, some alteration seems called for-how much better to change the image,the packet or thepitch made by the product, rather than go to all the inconvenience of changing the product itself.11. Which of the following can best describe the author's attitude toward modem advertising?A. IndifferentB. ShockedC. DisappearingD. Approving12. According to the author, which is NOT the designer's chief concern when he designs aproduct?A. Stress factorsB. Man-hours.C. Machine toleranceD. Customer-appeal.13. It is stated in the passage that those responsible for giving a product customer-appeal are____.A. customersB. designersC. advertisersD. manufacturers14. According to the author, when some change in a product is necessary,a manufacturer willchoose to ____.A. lower the production costB. hire a better designerC. improve its qualityD. alter its image15. The best title for the passage might be ____.A. Advertising since the WarB. Advertising and ManufacturersC. Advertising-England's Biggest IndustryD. Advertising and PurchasersPassage 4All that we really need to plot out the future of our universe are a few good measurements. Thisdoes not mean that we can sit down today and outline the future course of the universe with anythinglike certainty. There are still too many things we don't know about the way the universe is puttogether. But we do know exactly what information we need to fill in our knowledge, and we have apretty good idea of how to go about getting it. Perhaps the best way to think of our present situationis to imagine a train coming into a switchyard( 调车场). All of the switches(转辙器）are set before thetrain arrives, so that its path is completely determined. Some switches we can see. others we cannot.There is no ambiguity if we can see the setting of a switch; we can say with confidence that somepossible futures will not materialize and others will. At the unseen switches, however, there is nosuch certainty. We know the train will take one of the tracks leading out, butwe have no idea whichone. The unseen switches are the true decision points in the future, and what happens when wearrive at them determines the entire subsequent course of events.When we think about the future of the universe, we can see our "track" many billions of years intothe future, but after that there are decision points to be dealt with and possible fates to consider. Thegoal of science is to reduce the ambiguity at the decision points and find the true road that will befollowed.16. According to the passage, it is difficult to be certain about the dist universe because we ____.A. have too many conflicting theoriesB. do not have enough funding to continue our researchC. are not sure how the universe is put togetherD. have focused our investigations on the moon and planets17. What does the author see as the function of the universe's unseen "switches"?A. They tell us which one of the tracks the universe will use.B. They enable us to alter the course of the universe.C. They give us information about the lunar surface.D. They determine which course the universe will take in the future.18. In the second paragraph, the word "track" could hest be replaced by which of the following?A. BandB. RailsC. PathD. Sequence19. For whom is the author probably writing this passage?A.

Y ou should decide on the best choice and mark the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet with a single line through the center.Questions 21 to 25 are based on the following passage.In 1789 the US government passed a law which said that the land of the American Indians could never be taken from them without their agreement. One hundred years later, however, the Indians had only a very small part of the land that originally belonged to them. How did this great injustice occur?After 1812 white settlers began to move west across North America. At first, the settlers and the Indians lived in peace. However, the number of settlers increased greatly every year, and slowly the Indians began to see the white settlers as a danger to their survival. To feed themselves, the settlers killed more and more wild animals. The Indians, who depended on these animalsfor food, had to struggle against starvation. The settlers also brought with them many diseases which were common in white society, but which were new for the Indians. Great numbers of Indians became sick and died. Between 1843 and 1854 the Indian population in one area of the country went down from 100,000 to 30,000.More land was needed for the increasing number of white settlers. In Washington, the old respect for the rights of the Indians disappeared. The old promises to the Indians were broken; the federal government began to move groups of Indians from their original homelands to other, poorer parts of the country. Some Indians reacted angrily and violently to this treatment. They began to attack white settlers, and the Indian War began. For thirty years, until the late 1880s, different groups of Indians fought against the injustices of the white man. They had a few famous successes, but the result of the struggle was never in doubt. There were too many white soldiers, and they were too powerful. Many Indians were killed; the survivors were moved from their homelands to different areas of the country. It was a terrible chapter in the history of a country that promised freedom and equality to everyone.21.What is said about the land of the American Indians in the passage？A)The land of the American Indians was taken from them without their consent.B)The American Indians had very few successes in their fight against the injustice of thewhite man.C)The Us law about the land of the American Indians was violated as soon as it waspassed.D)The American Indians have finally regained the right of their own land.22.Why did American Indians begin to see the white settlers as a danger to them?A)They fought against any law protecting the right of IndiansB)The settlers killed the animals and brought new diseasesC)They took away their animals and sold them to other white peopleD) They made American Indians work hard without pay23.What does the writer mean by “the old respect for the rights of the Indians disappeared”?A)The government had a new respect for the rights of the IndiansB)The government of the US never had any respect for the rights of the IndiansC)The white settlers began to ignore the law concerning the rights of IndiansD)The government began to ignore the rights of the Indians24.The US government began to move Indians off their original land. How did the Indiansreact?A)They became sick and diedB)They began to fight the whitesC) They had to struggle against starvationD) They launched a war against the whites which lasted for a hundred years25.What is the writer’s opinion about the treatment that the Indians received from the USgovernment?A)He believes that the government always respected the rights of the IndiansB)He believes that the government should pass a law to protect the IndiansC)He believes that the government treated the Indians very unjustlyD)He believes that the government cannot be criticized for its treatment of the Indians Passage TwoQuestions 26 to 30 are based on the following passage:In the opinion of many Americans and Europeans, we began to really explore our world only in the sixteenth century. According to them, the sailors of the ancient world did not explore distant parts of the world; they did not have the necessary knowledge or skills for long sea journeys. However, the people who have this opinion are forgetting two important facts of history.First, sometimes early scientists have an idea which is correct, but scientists in later centuries do not believe it. For example, about 270 BC, a Greek scientist had an idea which we all believe today: The earth moves around the sun. But for the following 1600 years scientists did not believe this. In their opinion, the sun clearly moved around the earth. They discovered the truth again only in the fifteenth century!The second fact of history that many people forget is this: Ancient does not mean primitive. For example, the ancient Egyptians knew a great deal about the stars; they used the knowledge to find their way across the oceans. Two thousand years ago a Greek scientist who lived in Egypt calculated the distance around the earth. The results of his calculations were close the actual distance we know today! So the ancients had agreat deal of scientific knowledge. They also had skills which equaled the skills of today. For example, 1300 years ago and before, fishermen in Ireland built their boats of wood and leather. Today some fishermen in Ireland still make boats of the same design. They use tools and materials which are not very different from the tools and materials which their ancestors used. Why? The ancient design of the boats is good, and with skillful sailors, these boats can sail in all kinds of weather.Clearly, long before the sixteenth century, people had the skills, the knowledge, and the equipment which were necessary for long journeys by sea. The world did not have to wait until the sixteenth century for its first explorers！26.Which of the following statements is consistent with the passage?A)According to the writer, we only began to really explore the world in the sixteenthcenturyB)The ancient Egyptians had very little knowledge about the starsC)In the history of science, people sometimes have to discover a fact a second timeD)The writer agrees with many Americans and Europeans except for the two factsmentioned in the passage.27.Why does the writer use the example of the Greek scientist who calculated the distancearound the world？A)He wants to show the knowledge of ancient scientistsB)He wants to give an example of something which later scientists greatly improvedC)He wants to show that science has not been developing significantlyD)He wants to give an example of scientific knowledge which was available to earlyexplorers28. The word “primitive”(Line 1,Parag raph 3) means____A) underestimated B) unsophisticated C) basic D) primary29.According to the writer, why do Irish fishermen still use boats like the boats which theirancestors used 1000 years ago?A)They don’t have the money for expensive boatsB)Boats made of wood or leather are light and fastC)The necessary materials are easily availableD)The design of the boats is very good30.“People from the ancient world sailed around Africa. They even reached America.” In youropinion, how would the writer of the passage feel about the statements?A)In his opinion, they are possibleB)He does not believe themC)He has used this as an important fact to praise ancient civilizationD)In his opinion, ancient explorers did not have the skills necessary for long journeys Passage ThreeQuestions 31 to 35 are based on the following passage.Friends play an important part in our lives, and although we may take the fact of friendship for granted, we often don’t clearly understand how we make friends. While we get on well with a number of people, we are usually friends with only a very few, for example; the average among students is about 6 perperson.Moreover, a great many relationships come under the general term “friendship”. In all cases, two people like one another and enjoy being together, but beyond that, the degree of closeness between them and the reasons for their interest in each other vary greatly.At the beginning, much depends on how people meet, and on good first impressions. As we get to know people, we consider things like age, race, looks, economic and social status, and intelligence. Although these factors are not of the greatest importance, it is more difficult to have a good relationship with people when there is a big difference in age and background.We pay attention to actual behavior, facial expression, and the way a person speaks. Friends will stand closer together and will spend more time looking at each other than ordinary acquaintances. Smiles and soft voices also express friendliness, and it is because they may give the wrong signals that shy people often have difficulty in making friends. A friendly look with the wrong facial expression can turn into an unfriendly stare, and nervousness may be wrongly understood as unfriendliness. People who do not look one in the eye are not trusted when, in fac t, they simply do not have confidence.Some relationships are a result of argument and discussion, but it is usual for close friends to have the same ideas and beliefs, the same opinions and interests—they often talk about “being on the same wavelength”. The more closely involved people become, the more they depend on one another. People want to do friends favors and hate to let them down. Equally, friends have to learn to make allowances for each other, to put up with annoying habits, and to accept differences in opinion. Imaginegoing on a long trip with someone you occasionally meet for a drink!In contrast with marriage, there are no friendship ceremonies to strengthen the relationship between two people. But the mutual support and understanding that results from shared experiences and emotions does seem to create a close and lasting relationship, which can overcome differences in background, and break down barriers of age, class or race.31.According to the passage, a friend is __________.A)somebody we usually take for grantedB) a person with whom we often go out withC)someone with whom we occasionally go for a long tripD)not just anybody we get on well with32.Which of the following factors does the author believe are important in developingfriendship?A)Age and background. B) Economic and social position.C)Race and looks. D) Same interests and behavior.33.The passage tells us that sometimes a face with the wrong expression could be mistaken as asign of __________.A)Nervousness B) confidence C) unfriendliness D) distrust34.By saying that “some relationship are a result of argument and discussion” (Line 1, Para. 5),the author means that __________.A)bad relationships are a result of argument and discussionB)connections with people can be developed through discussion and argumentC)argument and discussion can lead to improving personal relationshipsD)arguing and discussing things will sometimes result in friendship35.We learn from the passage that __________.A)friendship can overcome difference in experienceB)there are no special ceremonies to strengthen friendshipC)putting up with differences in opinion can lead to friendshipD)friendship can be strengthened by smiles and soft voicesPassage FourQuestions 36 to 40 are based on the following passage.Overhead bridges are found in many parts of Singapore, especially in places where traffic is very heavy and crossing the road is dangerous.The purpose of these bridges is to enable pedestrians(行人) to cross roads safely. Overhead bridges are used in very much the same way as zebra crossings. They are more efficient although less convenient because people have to climb up a long flight of steps. This is inconvenient especially to older people. When pedestrians use an overhead bridge, they do not hold up traffic. However, when they cross a busy road using a zebra crossing, traffic is held up. This is why the government has built many overhead bridges to help pedestrians and to keep traffic moving at the same time.The government of Singapore has spent large sums of money building these bridges. For their own safety, pedestrians should be encouraged to use them instead of risking their lives by dashing across the road. Old people, however, may find it a little difficult climbing up and down the steps, but it still much safer than walking across the road with all the danger of moving traffic.Overhead bridges serve a very useful purpose. Pedestrians, both old and young, should make it a habit to use them. This will prevent unnecessary accidents and loss of life.36.What is the advantage of overhead bridges mentioned in this passage?A)Taller vehicle can pass under them.B)Pedestrians can climb up and have a view of the city.C)They don’t hold up traffic and are safer for pedestrians.D)They are easier and more convenient for the pedestrians.37.Why were overhead bridges built in Singapore by its government?A)Because they do not hold up traffic.B)Because they provide an easy way for the drivers to cross the road.C)Because they save money for the government.D)Because they save time for the pedestrians.38.Which of the following is true according to this passage?A)Overhead bridges are found in places where traffic is heavy.B)Overhead bridges are found in every part of Singapore.C)Overhead bridges are found in many parts of the big cities in the world.D)Overhead bridges are only found in the capital of Singapore.39.The expression “zebra crossings” in Paragraph 2 means ______.A) a safe place where pedestrians use to walk across a roadB) a big animal covered with alternating black and white stripes in AfricaC) a safe place where zebras walk aroundD) a safe place across a road for children to play a game40.What is the writer’s attitude towards overhea d bridges?A)It is inconvenient to older people to walk across the road.B)It is much safer though a little difficult climbing up and down the steps for pedestrians.C)Overhead bridges are more beautiful than zebra crossings.D)To build overhead bridges is the order of the government.Part III Vocabulary and StructureSection A (10 points)Directions:There are 20 incomplete sentences in this part.

2003年考研英语—真题与答案
2003 年考研英语真题及答案2003 text1Wild Bill Donovan would haveovedl the Internet. The American spymaster who built the Office of Strategic Servicesni the World War Ⅱ and aterl aidl the roots for the CIAwas fascinated with information. Donovan believed in using whatever tools came tohand in the "great game"of espionage— spying as a "profession".These days the Net, which has alreadyre-made such everyday pastimes as buying books and sendingreshapingmail, Donovan's vocation as .well The atestl revolutionsn'ti simply a matter of gentlemen reading other gentlemen's e-mail. That kind ofectronicel spyinghas been going on for decades. In the past three or four years, orldthe W ide Web has given birth to a whole industry ofpoint-and-click spying. The spooks call it "open-sourceintelligence",and as the Net grows, it is becoming increasingly influential. In 1995 the CIA held a contest to see who could compile the most data about Burundi. The winner, byargelmargin, was a tiny Virginia company called Open Source Solutions, whosearcl advantage was its mastery of theectroniel world.Among the firms making the biggestashpl in this new world is Straitford, Inc., a private intelligence-analysifirm based in Austin, Texas.Straitford makes money by selling the results of spying (covering nations from Chile to Russia) to corporations like energy-services firm McDermott International. Many of its predictions are available online at .Straiford presidentGeorge Friedman says he sees the online world as kinda of mutually reinforcing tool for both information collection and distribution, a spymaster's dream. Last sweekfirm hiwas busy vacuuming up data bits from the far corners of the world and predicting a crisis in Ukraine. "As soon as that report runs, we'llsuddenly get 500 new Internet sign-ups from Ukraine," saysFriedman, a formerpolitical science professor."And we'll hear back from some of them." Open-source spying does havets risks, of course, since it can be difficult to tell good information from bad. That's where Straitford earns its keep.Friedman relies on a eanl staff of 20ni Austin. Severalof his staff members have military-intelligence backgrounds. He sees the firm's outsider status as the key to its success.Straitford's briefs don't sound like the usual Washington back-and-forthing,whereby agencies avoid dramatic declarations on the chance they might be wrong. Straitford, says Friedman, takes pride in its independentcevoi.41.The emergence of the Net has________.[A]received support from fans like Donovan[B]remolded the intelligence services[C]restored many common pastimes[D] revived spying as a profession42.Donovan's story is mentioned in the text to________.[A]introduce the topic of online spying[B]show how he fought for the US[C]give an episode of the information war[D] honor his unique services to the CIA43.The phrase"making the biggest splash" (line 1,paragraph 3)most probably means ________.[A]causing the biggest trouble[B]exerting the greatest effort[C]achieving the greatest success[D] enjoying the widest popularity44.It can be learned from paragraph4that________.[A]Straitford's prediction about Ukraine has proved true[B]Straitford guarantees the truthfulness of its information[C]Straitford's business is characterized by unpredictability[D] Straitford is able to provide fairly reliable information45.Straitford is most proud of its________.[A]official status[B]nonconformist image[C]efficient staff[D]military background 试题解析：这是一篇说明性的文章，介绍了互联网技术对情报行业的影响。

For each of the questions there are 4 choices marked A, B, C, and D. You should decide on the best answer and write down the corresponding letter on the ANSWER SHEET.Passage 1As prices and building costs keep rising, the …do-it-yourself‟ (DIY) trend in the U.S. continues to grow.“We needed furniture for our living room,” says John Ross, “and we just didn't have enough money to buy it. So we decided to try making a few tables and chairs.”John got married six months ago, and like many young people these days, they are struggling to make a home at a time when the cost of living is very high. The Roses took a 2-week course for $280 at a night school. Now they build all their furniture and make repairs around the house.Jim Hatfield has three boys and his wife died. He has a full-time job at home as well as in a shoe making factory. Last month, he received a car repair bill for $420. “I was deeply upset about it. Now I've finished a car repair course, I should be able to fix the car by myself.”John and Jim are not unusual people. Most families in the country are doing everything they can to save money so they can fight the high cost of living. If you want to become a “do-it-yourselfer”, you can go to DIY classes. And for those who don't have time to take a course, there are books that tell you how you can do things yourself. 1. We can learn from the text that many newly married people _____ .A. find it hard to pay for what they needB. have to learn to make their own furnitureC. take DIY courses run by the governmentD. seldom go to a department store to buy things2. John and his wife went to evening classes to learn how to _____ .A. run a DIY shopB. make or repair thingsC. save time and moneyD. improve the quality of life3.

What would be the best title for the text?A. The Joy of DIYB. You Can Do It Too!C. Welcome to Our DIY Course!D. Ross and Hatfield: Believes in DIYPassage 2Today, roller skating is easy and fun. But a long time ago, it wasn't easy at all. Before 1750, the idea of skating didn't exist. That changed because of a man named Joseph Merlin. Merlin's work was making musical instruments. In his spare time he liked to play the violin. Joseph Merlin was a man of ideas and dreams. People called him a dreamer.One day Merlin received an invitation to attend a fancy dress ball(化装舞会). He was very pleased and a little excited. As the day of the party came near, Merlin began to think how to make a grand entrance at the party. He had an idea. He thought he would get a lot of attention if he could skate into the room.Merlin tried different ways to make himself roll. Finally, he decided toput two wheels under each shoe. These were the first roller skates. Merlin was very proud of his invention and dreamed of arriving at the party on wheels while playing the violin.On the night of the party Merlin rolled into the room playing his violin. Everyone was astonished to see him. There was just one problem. Merlin had no way to stop his roller skates. He rolled on and on. Suddenly, he ran into a huge mirror that was hanging on the wall. Down fell the mirror, breaking to pieces. Nobody forget Merlin's grand entrance for a long time!6. The text is mainly about _____.A. a strange manB. an unusual partyC. how roller skating beganD. how people enjoyed themselves in the 18th century7. People thought Merlin was a dreamer because he _____.A. often gave others surpriseB. was a gifted musicianC. invented the roller skateD. was full of imagination8. “As the day of the party came near, Merlin began to think how to make a grand entrance at the party.”What does the underlined word mean in the passage?A. bigB. importantC. excellentD. splendid9.

What is the main point the writer is trying to make in the last paragraph?A. the roller skates needed further improvement.B. the party guests took Merlin for a fool.C. Merlin succeeds beyond expectation.D. Merlin got himself into trouble.Passage 3To us it seems so natural to put up an umbrella to keep the water off when it rains. But actually the umbrella was not invented as protection against rain. It was first used as a shade against the sun.Nobody knows who first invented it, but the umbrella was used in very ancient times. Probably the first to use it were the Chinese, way back in the eleventh century B.C..We know that the umbrella was also used in ancient Egypt and Babylon as a sunshade. And there was a strange thing connected with its use; it became a symbol of honor and authority. In the Far East, in ancient times, the umbrella was allowed to be used only by royal people or by those in high office.In Europe, the Greeks were the first to use the umbrella as a sunshade. And the umbrella was in common use in ancient Greece. But it is believed that the first persons in Europe to use the umbrellas as protection against the rain were the ancient Romans.During the Middle Ages, the use of the umbrella practically disappeared. Then it appeared again in Italy in 16th century. And again it became a symbol of power and authority.Umbrellas have not changed much in style during all this time, though they have become much lighter in weight. It wasn‟t until the twentieth century that women‟s umbrellas began to be made in a variety of colors.11. The first use of umbrella was as_____.A. protection against rainB. a shade against the sunC. a symbol of powerD. a symbol of honor12._____were regarded as the people who first used umbrellas.A.

Section B ﹙5’﹚Directions: Translate the following passage into Chinese.Be yourself. Many how-to books advise you to stride into a room and impress others with your qualities. They instruct you to greet them with “power handshakes” and tell you to fix your eyes on the other person. If you follow all this advice, you'll drive everyone crazy—including yourself. The trick is to be consistently you, at your best. The most effective people never change from one situation to another.内蒙古民族大学学生考试试卷2012 —2013 学年度第二学期专业班级：11级日、俄语专业日、俄语班课程：新视野（1）试卷编号：BANSWER SHEET08级第二外语（英）答题卡Part I Vocabulary﹙20x1’=20’﹚Section A ﹙10 x 1’=10’﹚1. 2. 3. 4. 5.6. 7. 8. 9. 10.Section B ﹙10 x 1’=10’﹚1. 2. 3.4. 5. 6.7. 8. 9.10._________________Part II Blank filling (10 x 1’=10’)1. 2. 3. 4. 5.6. __7. __8. ___9. _ 10. ____ Part III Sentence rewriting (5 x 2’=10’)1.2. 3.4.5.Part IV Cloze ( 20 x 1’=20’ )1._______2._________3._________4.__________5.________6._______7._________8._________9.__________10________11.______12.________13.________14._________15.________16.______17.________18.________19._________20.________Part V Reading comprehension ( 15x2’=30’ )1._______2._________3._________4.__________5.________6._______7._________8._________9.__________10________11.______12.________13.________14._________15.________Part VI Translation﹙10’﹚Section A﹙5x1’=5’﹚1.2.3.4.5.Section B ﹙5’﹚_______________________________________________________________________ _______________________________________________________________________ _______________________________________________________________________ _______________________________________________________________________ _______________________________________________________________________ _______________________________________________________________________ _______________________________________________________________________ _______________________________________________________________________ _______________________________________________________________________ _______________________________________________________________________ _____________________________________________________11级日、俄语专业新视野（1）B答案I.Section A:range match contact acquire threatenedboast immune employment contrary dumpSection Bdistracts…from guard against at risk in place of sign up fortakes…seriously at her best Lighten up made up one‟s mind focus onII.as upon/on up by in to with of At withIII.1.I will never forget the city where Mary and I spent our childhood.2.So does she.3.It rained for two weeks on end, completely flooding the village.4.He had his ears pierced even though I told him not to.5.No/Neither can Ann.IV.CCBAC BCACC BBACA BCAABV.ABDAB CDDAC BCCDCVI.Section A1.Despite the bad weather2.even though no goals were scored3.the way he teaches English4.Not wanting to see/meet John there5.even if they raise the priceSection B很多指导性的书籍会建议你大步走进一个房间，用你的优点给别人留下深刻印象。

And he is one of the hottest cartoon characters in his home country, japan.But, the troublemaker’s show was ranked No.1 mast unwanted cartoon program by japan’s parents associ-ation on april 18.More than half the parents who took part in the study thought shin-chan was a negative(消极的)role model for children.

The average student debt in Britain has risen by more than 50 percent in the past four years and is now between 10,000 and 12,000 pounds.The priority(需要优先考虑的事)for most is to get into credit—few have the cash to spare for investing(投资)in their future. The charity age concern shays that ?to 34-year-olds are not saving towards a pension and those,are not saving enough.Some students, however, can afford to start looking ahead while still at university. These students can get the maximum amount of cash from their bank’s interest=free overdraft(透支)(about 1,500 pounds)allowance, or take out low-interest student loans(借款)and put the money into a interest savings account, such as a mini cash individual saving account where the first 3,000 pounds is tax-free.

But experience you gain, friends you make and also the time you spend getting to know the society and to learn how to comunitcate with your workmates will be beneficial( 有益的)to your later studies and your final entrance to the society.Economic doctor dana stevens give us some good advice on how to be a successful employee. Don’t oversell(过度表现)yourself; don’t claim skills you don’t have; just be honest to yourself and to your employer. He says when a student has his first job , he will soon realize that one’s attitude to work and one’s personality are more important than skills because one is always working in a team with others.Internship is necessary but one should also balance the rel;ation between the internship and the lessons in school. Vice president of china agriculture university meng fanxi says as a student one should make good use of time. It’s hard to go back to school after you get used to earning money.16. This passage probably comes from .A. a newspaper called ―TV GUIDE‖B. an article for middle school studentsC. an interesting book for young peopleD. a magazine for Siemens17. In the opinion of jing long, .A. all the students should do part-time jobs to get some working experience before garaduationB. internship or part-time jobs have much to do with your futureC. you should make more friends and learn how to earn more money after graduationD. what you get as you’re taking up internship or part-time jobs will do you good when you step into society18. from the advice dana stevens gives, we know .A. you dou’t have to worry if you lack skills requiredB. how a person can be successful depends on his/her character and qualities as well as his/her shkillsC. most students succeed after graduation because they have better skillsD. a successful employee, above all, shouldn’t lost heart when he fails19.

Each passage is followed by some questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. You should decide on the best choice and mark the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet with a single line through the center.Passage OneQuestions 21 to 25 are based on the following passage.In 1789 the US government passed a law which said that the land of the American Indians could never be taken from them without their agreement. One hundred years later, however, the Indians had only a very small part of the land that originally belonged to them. How did this great injustice occur?After 1812 white settlers began to move west across North America. At first, the settlers and the Indians lived in peace. However, the number of settlers increased greatly every year, and slowly the Indians began to see the white settlers as a danger to their survival. To feed themselves, the settlers killed more and more wild animals. The Indians, who depended on these animals for food, had to struggle against starvation. The settlers also brought with them many diseases which were common in white society, but which were new for the Indians. Great numbers of Indians became sick and died. Between 1843 and 1854 the Indian population in one area of the country went down from 100,000 to 30,000.More land was needed for the increasing number of white settlers. In Washington, the old respect for the rights of the Indians disappeared. The old promises to the Indians were broken; the federal government began to move groups of Indians from their original homelands to other, poorer parts of the country. Some Indians reacted angrily andviolently to this treatment. They began to attack white settlers, and the Indian War began. For thirty years, until the late 1880s, different groups of Indians fought against the injustices of the white man. They had a few famous successes, but the result of the struggle was never in doubt. There were too many white soldiers, and they were too powerful. Many Indians were killed; the survivors were moved from their homelands to different areas of the country. It was a terrible chapter in the history of a country that promised freedom and equality to everyone.21. What is said about the land of the American Indians in the passage?A The land of the American Indians was taken from them without their consent.B The American Indians had very few successes in their fight against the injustice of the white man.C The Us law about the land of the American Indians was violated as soon as it was passed.D The American Indians have finally regained the right of their own land.22. Why did American Indians begin to see the white settlers as a danger to them?A They fought against any law protecting the right of IndiansB The settlers killed the animals and brought new diseasesC They took away their animals and sold them to other white peopleD They made American Indians work hard without pay23. What does t he writer mean by “ the old respect for the rights of the Indians disappeared” ?A The government had a new respect for the rights of the IndiansB The government of the US never had any respect for the rights of the IndiansC The white settlers began to ignore the law concerning the rights of IndiansD The government began to ignore the rights of the Indians24. The US government began to move Indians off their original land. How did the Indians react?A They became sick and diedB They began to fight the whitesC They had to struggle against starvationD They launched a war against the whites which lasted for a hundred years25. What is the writer ’ s opinion about the treatment that the Indians received from the US government?A He believes that the government always respected the rights of the IndiansB He believes that the government should pass a law to protect the IndiansC He believes that the government treated the Indians very unjustlyD He believes that the government cannot be criticized for its treatment of the Indians Passage TwoQuestions 26 to 30 are based on the following passage:In the opinion of many Americans and Europeans, we began to really explore our world only in the sixteenth century. According to them, the sailors of the ancient world did not explore distant parts of the world; they did not have the necessary knowledge orskills for long sea journeys. However, the people who have this opinion are forgetting two important facts of history.First, sometimes early scientists have an idea which is correct, but scientists in later centuries do not believe it. For example, about 270 BC, a Greek scientist had an idea which we all believe today: The earth moves around the sun. But for the following 1600 years scientists did not believe this. In their opinion, the sun clearly moved around the earth. They discovered the truth again only in the fifteenth century!The second fact of history that many people forget is this: Ancient does not mean primitive. For example, the ancient Egyptians knew a great deal about the stars; they used the knowledge to find their way across the oceans. Two thousand years ago a Greek scientist who lived in Egypt calculated the distance around the earth. The results of his calculations were close the actual distance we know today! So the ancients had a great deal of scientific knowledge. They also had skills which equaled the skills of today. For example, 1300 years ago and before, fishermen in Ireland built their boats of wood and leather. Today some fishermen in Ireland still make boats of the same design. They use tools and materials which are not very different from the tools and materials which their ancestors used. Why? The ancient design of the boats is good, and with skillful sailors, these boats can sail in all kinds of weather.Clearly, long before the sixteenth century, people had the skills, the knowledge, and the equipment which were necessary for long journeys by sea. The world did not have to wait until the sixteenth century for its first explorers!26. Which of the following statements is consistent with the passage?A According to the writer, we only began to really explore the world in the sixteenth centuryB The ancient Egyptians had very little knowledge about the starsC In the history of science, people sometimes have to discover a fact a second timeD The writer agrees with many Americans and Europeans except for the two factsmentioned in the passage.27. Why does the writer use the example of the Greek scientist who calculated the distance around the world?A He wants to show the knowledge of ancient scientistsB He wants to give an example of something which later scientists greatly improvedC He wants to show that science has not been developing significantlyD He wants to give an example of scientific knowledge which was available to early explorers28. The word “ primitive ” (Line 1,Paragraph 3 means____A underestimatedB unsophisticatedC basicD primary29. According to the writer, why do Irish fishermen still use boats like the boats which their ancestors used 1000 years ago?A They don’ t have the money for expensive boatsB Boats made of wood or leather are light and fastC The necessary materials are easily availableD The design of the boats is very good30. “ People from the ancient world sailed around Africa. They even reached America.” In your opinion, how would the writer of the passage feel about the statements?A In his opinion, they are possibleB He does not believe themC He has used this as an important fact to praise ancient civilizationD In his opinion, ancient explorers did not have the skills necessary for long journeys Passage ThreeQuestions 31 to 35 are based on the following passage.Friends play an important part in our lives, and although we may take the fact of friendshi p for granted, we often don’ t clearly understand how we make friends. While we get on well with a number of people, we are usually friends with only a very few, for example; the average among students is about 6 per person.Moreover, a great many relation ships come under the general term “ friendship ” . In all cases, two people like one another and enjoy being together, but beyond that, the degree of closeness between them and the reasons for their interest in each other vary greatly.At the beginning, much depends on how people meet, and on good first impressions. As we get to know people, we consider things like age, race, looks, economic and social status, and intelligence. Although these factors are not of the greatest importance, it is more difficult to have a good relationship with people when there is a big difference in age and background.We pay attention to actual behavior, facial expression, and the way a person speaks. Friends will stand closer together and will spend more time looking at each other than ordinary acquaintances. Smiles and soft voices also express friendliness, and it is because they may give the wrong signals that shy people often have difficulty in making friends.A friendly look with the wrong facial expression can turn into an unfriendly stare, andnervousness may be wrongly understood as unfriendliness. People who do not look one in the eye are not trusted when, in fact, they simply do not have confidence.Some relationships are a result of argument and discussion, but it is usual for close friends to have the same ideas and beliefs, the same opinions and interests— they often talk about “ being on the same wavelength” . The more closely involved people become, the more they depend on one another. People want to do friends favors and hate to let them down. Equally, friends have to learn to make allowances for each other, to put up with annoying habits, and to accept differences in opinion. Imagine going on a long trip with someone you occasionally meet for a drink!In contrast with marriage, there are no friendship ceremonies to strengthen the relationship between two people. But the mutual support and understanding that results from shared experiences and emotions does seem to create a close and lasting relationship, which can overcome differences in background, and break down barriers of age, class or race.31. According to the passage, a friend is __________.A somebody we usually take for grantedB a person with whom we often go out withC someone with whom we occasionally go for a long tripD not just anybody we get on well with32. Which of the following factors does the author believe are important in developing friendship?A Age and background.B Economic and social position.C Race and looks.D Same interests and behavior.33. The passage tells us that sometimes a face with the wrong expression could be mistaken as a sign of __________.A NervousnessB confidenceC unfriendlinessD distrust34. By saying that “some relationship are a result of argument and discussion” (Line 1, Para. 5, the author means that __________.A bad relationships are a result of argument and discussionB connections with people can be developed through discussion and argumentC argument and discussion can lead to improving personal relationshipsD arguing and discussing things will sometimes result in friendship35. We learn from the passage that __________.A friendship can overcome difference in experienceB there are no special ceremonies to strengthen friendshipC putting up with differences in opinion can lead to friendshipD friendship can be strengthened by smiles and soft voicesPassage FourQuestions 36 to 40 are based on the following passage.Overhead bridges are found in many parts of Singapore, especially in places where traffic is very heavy and crossing the road is dangerous.The purpose of these bridges is to enable pedestrians(行人 to cross roads safely. Overhead bridges are used in very much the same way as zebra crossings. They are moreefficient although less convenient because people have to climb up a long flight of steps. This is inconvenient especially to older people. When pedestrians use an overhead bridge, they do not hold up traffic. However, when they cross a busy road using a zebra crossing, traffic is held up. This is why the government has built many overhead bridges to help pedestrians and to keep traffic moving at the same time.The government of Singapore has spent large sums of money building these bridges. For their own safety, pedestrians should be encouraged to use them instead of risking their lives by dashing across the road. Old people, however, may find it a little difficult climbing up and down the steps, but it still much safer than walking across the road with all the danger of moving traffic. Overhead bridges serve a very useful purpose. Pedestrians, both old and young, should make it a habit to use them. This will prevent unnecessary accidents and loss of life.36. What is the advantage of overhead bridges mentioned in this passage?A Taller vehicle can pass under them.B Pedestrians can climb up and have a view of the city.C They don’t hold up traffic and are safer for pedestrians.D They are easier and more convenient for the pedestrians.37. Why were overhead bridges built in Singapore by its government?A Because they do not hold up traffic.B Because they provide an easy way for the drivers to cross the road.C Because they save money for the government.D Because they save time for the pedestrians.38. Which of the following is true according to this passage?A Overhead bridges are found in places where traffic is heavy.B Overhead bridges are found in every part of Singapore.C Overhead bridges are found in many parts of the big cities in the world.D Overhead bridges are only found in the capital of Singapore.39. The expression “zebra crossings” in Paragraph 2 means ______.A a safe place where pedestrians use to walk across a roadB a big animal covered with alternating black and white stripes in AfricaC a safe place where zebras walk aroundD a safe place across a road for children to play a game40. What is the writer’s attitude towards overhead bridges?A It is inconvenient to older people to walk across the road.B It is much safer though a little difficult climbing up and down the steps for pedestrians.C Overhead bridges are more beautiful than zebra crossings.D To build overhead bridges is the order of the government.Part III Vocabulary and StructureSection A (10 pointsDirections :There are 20 incomplete sentences in this part.
