In this world, a child's wildest thoughts would become reality, limited only by the extent of his or her imagination.While such a world might sound both fantastic and frightening, at least from a logical, adult perspective, it does exist. What's more, it has been in existence for some time and is populated by hundreds of thousands of children who spend hours within its boundaries experimenting and learning. This world is not real, at least not in the traditional sense, but exists within a computer and is generated by an educational programming language called LOGO. Unlike other computer languages and programs that are designed to test children and provide applications that formally dispense information, LOGO allows children, even preschool children, to be in total control. Children teach the computer to think and as a result develop and sharpen their own reasoning abilities.1. In the imagined world___________ would restrict children's wildest thoughts.a. the limits of their imaginationb. the structure and form of the environmentc. the reality of lifed. the rules of the society2.

One theory claims that prehistoric birds on the Northern Hemisphere were forced south during the Ice Age. As the glaciers melted, the birds came back to their homelands, spent the summer, and then went south again as the ice advanced in winter. In time, the migration became a habit in spite of the disappearance of glaciers.Another theory proposes that the ancestral home of all modern birds was the tropics. When the region became overpopulated, many species were crowded north. During the summer, there was plenty of food, but during the winter, scarcity forced them to return to the tropics.A more recent theory suggests a relationship between increasing daylight and the stimulation of certain glands(腺) in the birds' bodies that may prepare them for migration. One scientist has been able to cause midwinter migrations by exposing birds to artificial periods of daylight. He has concluded that changes occur in the bodies of birds due to seasonal changes in the length of daylight.1. According to one theory, when the glaciers disappeared, birds _______________.a. stopped migratingb. continued migratingc. stayed in the northd. migrated south and stayed there2. The author states that birds left the tropics because ______________.a. there was not enough food there in the winter.b. there were too many birdsc. there were too many glaciersd. there was too much daylight3. Why did one scientist expose birds to artificial daylight?a. To test the relationship between daylight and a disease of the glands common to birds.b. To test the relationship between daylight and migrationc. To test the relationship between migration and temperatured. To test the relationship between daylight and changes in the season.4. According to the theory of photo-periodism, _______________.a. birds should migrate in the middle of the winterb. longer days cause changes in the bodies of birdsc. seasonal changes in the length of days do not affect migrationd. increasing daylight increases the distance of migration5. This passage supports the belief that_____________.a. exact reasons for migration are not knownb. birds migrate because of changes in temperaturec. the ancestral home of all birds was the tropicsd. glaciers caused birds to migrateQuestions 26-30 are based on the following advertisements.Ad.

那时候刚好下着雨，柏油路面湿冷冷的，还闪烁着青、黄、红颜色的灯火。
我们就在骑楼下躲雨，看绿色的邮筒孤独地站在街的对面。
我白色风衣的大口袋里有一封要寄给在南部的母亲的信。
樱子说她可以撑伞过去帮我寄信。
我默默点头，把信交给她。
“谁教我们只带来一把小伞哪。
”她微笑着说，一面撑起伞，准备过马路去帮我寄信。
从她伞骨渗下来的小雨点溅在我眼镜玻璃上。
随着一阵拔尖的刹车声，樱子的一生轻轻地飞了起来，缓缓地，飘落在湿冷冷的街面，好像一只夜晚的蝴蝶。
虽然是春天，好像已是秋深了。
她只是过马路去帮我寄信。
这简单的动作，却要教我终生难忘了。
我缓缓睁开眼，茫然站在骑楼下，眼里裹着滚烫的泪水。
世上所有的车子都停了下来，人潮涌向马路中央。
没有人知道那躺在街面的就是我的蝴蝶。
这时她只离我五公尺，竟是那么遥远。
更大的雨点溅在我的眼镜上，溅到我的生命里来。
为什么呢？只带一把雨伞？然而我又看到樱子穿着白色的风衣，撑着伞，静静地过马路了。
她是要帮我寄信的，那，那是一封写给在南部的母亲的信，我茫然站在骑楼下，我又看到永远的樱子走到街心。
其实雨下的并不大，却是我一生一世中最大的一场雨。
而那封信是这样写的，年轻的樱子知不知道呢？妈，我打算在下个月和樱子结婚。

In 2040 it will not matter. They will turn themselves off – and on again when you return. A sensor will detect the presence of a human and turn the systems on, and when the humans leave it will turn them off again.The sensors will work through the central home computer, and they will do much more than just turn the firesand lights on and off for you.

Choose the one you think is the best answer. Mark your choice on the Answer Sheet by drawing with a pencil a short bar across the corresponding letter in the brackets.Questions 11-15 are based on the following passage:Until recently the opportunities for criminal activities on the Internet have been low. However, the volume of business done on the Internet is growing rapidly, as people order books and other products and make money transactions. All this is creating temptations for hacker(黑客).Hackers are often young people who are interested in computers. They use them to move quietly to the Internet, looking for ways to break into computers systems run by banks, telephone companies and even Government departments. They look for examples of credit cards and try to steal the numbers.Hackers rarely admit to a successful break-in. The first indication of a hacking may be when a customer discovers a wrong money transaction on a credit card account. It is harder to check on somebody misusing an online connection unless there is a massive download of information which would call the attention of the consumer.11. The main idea of the first paragraph is that ________.(A) the opportunities for criminal activities on the Internet have been low(B) the opportunities for criminal activities on the Internet are low(C) there are more opportunities for criminal activities on the Internet(D) people should not make money transactions on the Internet12. The word “temptations” in the first paragraph is closest in meaning to ________.(A) interests (B) attractions (C) benefits (D) profits13. In the passage, it’s said that hackers may attack the Internet system of all the following institutions except________.(A) banks (B) telephone companies (C) universities (D) government departments14. Which of the following is NOT the reason for a hacking being found?(A) The customer found something wrong with his account.(B) There was a huge amount of information being downloaded.(C) There was a wrong money transaction.(D) The hacker proudly admitted his successful break-in.15. In the last sentence of the paragraph, “somebody” refers to a ________.(A) customer (B) card user (C) hacker (D) bank clerkQuestions 16-20 are based on the following passage:For any Englishman, there can never be any discussion as to who is the world’s greatest writer. Only one name can possibly suggest itself to him: that of William Shakespeare(莎士比亚). Every Englishman has some knowledge of his work. All of us use words and phrases from Shakespeare’s writings that have become a part of the English-speaking people.Shakespeare, more perhaps than any other writer, made full use of the English language. Most of us use about five thousand words in our normal employment of English; Shakespeare in his works used about twenty-five thousand! There is probably no better way for a foreigner (or an Englishman!) to appreciate the richness and variety of the English language than by studying the various ways in which Shakespeare uses it. Such a study is well worth the effort (it is not, of course, recommended to beginners), even though some aspects of English usage, and the meaning of many words, have changed since Shakespeare’s day.16. From the first two sentences of the passage we can conclude that ________.(A) it can’t be discussed about who is the world’s greatest poet(B) it can’t be discussed about who is the world’s greatest dramatist(C) Shakespeare is regarded as a greatest writer(D) Englishmen like to discuss about who is the world’s greatest writer17. According to the passage many English words and phrases that we use today are from ______.(A) Englishmen (B) Shakespeare’s works(C) English speaking people (D) ancient people18.

Choose the one that you think is the best answer. Mark your answer on the Answer Sheet by drawing with a pencil a short bar across the corresponding letter in the brackets.Questions 11-15 are based on the following passage:The classroom is a man's world, where boys get two-thirds of the teachers' attention -- even when they are in a minority--taunt (辱骂) the girls without punishment, and receive praise for sloppy work that would not be tolerated from girls. They are accustomed to being teachers' pets, and if girls get anything like equal treatment, they will protest eagerly and even wreck lessons.These claims are made in a book out this week, written by Dale Spender, a lecturer at the London University Institute of Education. She argues that discrimination against girls is so deeply in co-educational schools that single-sex classes are the only answer.Her case is based on tape-recordings of her own and other teachers' lessons. Many of them, like Spender, had deliberately se t out to give girls a fair chance. “Sometimes,” says Spender, “I have even thought I have gone too far and have spent more time with the girls than the boys.” The tapes proved otherwise. In 10 taped lessons (in secondary school and college), Spender never gave the girls more than 42 per cent of her attention (the average was 38 percent) and never gave the boys less than 58 percent. There were similar results for other teachers, both male and female.In other words, when teachers give girls more than a third of their time, they feel that they are cheating the boys of their rightful share. And so do the boys themselves. “She always asks the girls all the questions,” said one boy in a classroom where 34 per cent of the teachers' time was allocated to girls. “She doesn't like boys, and just listens to the girls.” said a boy in another class, where his sex got 63 per cent of teacher attention. Boys regarded two-thirds of the teacher's time as a fair deal — and when they got less they caused trouble in class and e ven complained to higher authority. “It's importantto keep their attention,” said one teacher, “Otherwise, they play you up something awful.”Spender concludes that, in mixed classes, if the girls are as boisterous and pushy as the boys, they are conside red “unladylike”, if they are docile and quiet, they are ignored.11. If boys are better treated in class, ____ would be better.A.single-sex classes and co-educational classesB.co-educational classesC.single-sex classesD.None of the above12. Dale Spender obtained the evidence for her claims by ____A.her own lessons in secondary school and collegeB.the other teachers' tape-recordingsC.both male and female teachersD.tape-recordings of her own and other teachers' lessons13. What are the boy's reactions when girls are given more attention?A.They will keep the teachers' attention again.B.They will make some trouble and complain to the headmaster.C.They will play up the teacher something awful.D.They will feel they are cheated by teachers.14. The word “boisterous” in the last paragraph probably means ____.A.roughB.braveC.troublesomeD.emotional15. The best title for this passage would be ____.A.boys are teachers' petsB.boys do better in co-educational classesC.single-sex classes are better than co-educational classesD.girls do better than boysQuestions 16-20 are based on the following passage:Sign has become a scientific hot button. Only in the past 20 years have specialists in language study realized that signed languages are unique -- a speech of the hand. They offer a new way to probe how the brain generates and understands language, and throw new light on an old scientific controversy: whether language, complete with grammar, is something that we are born with, or whether it is a learned behavior. The current interest in sign language has roots in the pioneering work of one rebel teacher at Gallaudet University in Washington, D.C., the world's only liberal arts university for deaf people.When Bill Stokoe went to Gallaudet to teach English, the school enrolled him in a course in signing. But Stokoe noticed something odd: among themselves, students signed differently from his classroom teacher. Stokoe had been taught a sort of gestural code, each movement of the hands representing a word in English. At the time, American Sign Language (ASL) was thought to be no more than a form of pidgin English (混杂英语). But Stokoe believed the "hand talk" his students used looked richer. He wondered: Might deaf people actually have a genuine language? And could that language be unlike any other on Earth? It was 1955, when even deaf people dismissed their signing as"substandard". Stokoe's idea was academic heresy (异端邪说).It is 37 years later. Stokoe -- now devoting his time to writing and editing books and journals and to producing video materials on ASL and the deaf culture - is having lunch at a caf6 near the Gallaudet campus and explaining how he started a revolution. For decades educators fought his idea that signed languages are natural languages like English, French and Japanese. They assumed language must be based on speech, the modulation (调节) of sound. But sign language is based on the movement of hands, the modulation of space. "What I said," Stokoe explains, "is that language is not mouth stuff- it's brain stuff."16. The study of sign language is thought to be .A.an approach to simplifying the grammatical structure of a languageB.an attempt to clarify misunderstanding about the origin of languageC. a challenge to traditional views on the nature of languageD. a new way to took at the learning of language17. The present growing interest in sign language was stimulated by .A. a leading specialist in the study Of liberal artsB.an English teacher in a university for the deafC.Some senior experts in American Sign LanguageD. a famous Scholar in the study of the human brain18. According to Stokoe, sign language is .A.an international languageB. a substandard languageC.an artificial languageD. a genuine language19. Most educators objected to Stokoe's idea because they thought .a language should be easy to use and understandsign language was too artificial to be widely accepteda language could only exist in the form of speech soundssign language was not extensively used even by deaf people20. Stokoe's argument is based on his belief that .language is a product of the brainlanguage is a system of meaningful codessign language is derived from natural languagesign language is as efficient as any other languageQuestions 21-25 are based on the following passage:Every year 100 million holiday-makers are drawn to the Mediterranean. With one third of the world's tourist trade, it is the most popular of all the holiday destinations; it is also the most polluted. It has only 1 per cent of the world's sea surface, but carries more than half the oil and tar floating on the waters. Thousands of factories pour their poison into the Mediterranean, and almost every city, town and village on the coast sends its sewage, untreated, into the sea.The result is that the Mediterranean, which nurtured so many civilizations, is gravely ill—the first of the seas to fall victim to the abilities and attitudes that evolved around it. And the pollution does not merely keep back life of the sea—it threatens the people who inhabit and visit its shores.The mournful form of disease is caused by sewage. Eighty-five per cent of the waste from theMediterranean's 120 coastal cities is pushed out in to the waters where their people and visitors bathe and fish. What is more, most cities just drop it in straight off the beach; rare indeed are the places like Cannes and Tel Aviv which pipe it even half a mile offshore.Not surprisingly, vast areas of the shallows are awash with bacteria and it doesn't take long for these to reach people. Professor William Brumfitt of the Royal Free Hospital once calculated that anyone who goes for a swim in the Mediterranean has a one in seven chance of getting some sort of disease. Other scientists say this is an overestimate; but almost all of them agree that bathers are at risk. Industry adds its own poisons. Factories cluster round the coastline, and even the most modern rarely has proper waste treatment plant. They do as much damage to the sea as sewage. But the good news is that the countries of the Mediterranean have been coming together to work out how to save their common sea.21. The causes of the Mediterranean's pollution is ____.A.the oil and tar floating on the waterB.many factories put their poison into the seaC.untreated sewage from the factories and coastal citiesD.there are some sorts of diseases in the sea22. Which of following consequence of a polluted sea is not true according to the passage?A.Bring up so many civilizations.B.Various diseases in the sea.C.It threatens the inhabitants and travelers.D.One in seven chance of getting some sort of disease swimming in the sea.23. The word “sewage” refers to ____.A.poisonB.wasteC.liquid materialD.solid material24. Why does industry do much damage to the sea?A.Because most factories have proper waste treatment plants.B.Because many factories have not proper waste treatment plants even the most modern one.C.Because just the modern factory has a waste treatment plant.D.Because neither ordinary factories nor most moplants.25. What is the passage mainly about?A.Save the world.B.How the people live in the Mediterranean sea.C.How the industry dangers the sea.D.Beware the dirty sea.Questions 26-30 are based on the following passage:Henry Ford, the famous U.S. inventor and car manufacturer, once said, "The business of America is business." By this he meant that the U.S. way of life is based on the values of the business world.Few would argue with Ford's statement. A brief glimpse at a daily newspaper vividly shows how much people in the United States think about business. For example, nearly every newspaper has a business section, in which the deals and projects, finances and management, stock prices and laborproblems of corporations are reported daily. In addition, business news can appear in every other section. Most national news has an important financial aspect to it. Welfare, foreign aid, the federal budget, and the policies of the Federal Reserve Bank are all heavily affected by business. Moreover, business news appears in some of the unlikeliest places. The world of arts and entertainment is often referred to as "the entertainment industry" or "show business."The positive side of Henry Ford's statement can be seen in the prosperity that business has brought to U.S. life. One of the most important reasons so many people from all over the world come to live in the United States is the dream of a better job. Jobs are produced in abundance (大量地) because the U.S. economic system is driven by competition. People believe that this system crates more wealth, more jobs, and a materially better way of life.The negative side of Henry Ford's statement, however, can be seen when the word business is taken to mean big business. And the term big business -- referring to the biggest companies, is seen in opposition to labor. Throughout U.S. history working people have had to fight hard for higher wages, better working conditions, and the fight to form unions. Today, many of the old labor disputes are over, but there is still some employee anxiety. Downsizing ---- the laying off of thousands of workers to keep expenses low and profits high -- creates feelings of insecurity for many.26. The United States is a typical countryA.which encourages free trade at home and abroadB.where people's chief concern is how to make moneyC.where all businesses are managed scientificallyD.which normally works according to the federal budget27. The influence of business in the U.S. is evidenced by the fact thatA.most newspapers are run by big businessesB.even public organizations concentrate on working for profitsC.Americans of all professions know how to do businessD.even arts and entertainment are regarded as business28. According to the passage, immigrants choose to settle in the U.S., dreaming thatA.they can start profitable businesses thereB.they can be more competitive in businessC.they will make a fortune overnight thereD.they will find better chances of employment29. Henry Ford's statement can be taken negatively because1.working people are discouraged to fight for their fights2.there are many industries controlled by a few big capitalists3.there is a conflicting relationship between big corporations and labor4.public services are not run by the federal government30. A company's efforts to keep expenses low and profits high may result inA.reduction in the number of employeesB.improvement of working conditionsC.fewer disputes between labor and managementD. a rise in workers' wagesPart Three ClozeDirections:For each blank in the following passage, choose the best answer from the choices given below. Mark your answer on the Answer Sheet by drawing with a pencil a short bar across the corresponding letter in the brackets.The space age officially began on October 4, 1957, 31 the Soviet Union launched the modest 185 pound SputnikⅠ, the first artificial satellite to orbit the earth.

It was a lightweight, 18 pound craft, carrying not animals but sensitive instruments to study the 36 bands of energy in space known as the Van Allen radiation belts. Within 37 fifteen years man had gone to the moon, searching beneath its dry and dusty soil for 38 of life (there were not), and begun probing more distant 39 of the solar system?

But sign language is based on the movement of hands, the modulation of space. "What I said," Stokoe explains, "is that language is not mouth stuff- it's brain stuff."16. The study of sign language is thought to be .A.an approach to simplifying the grammatical structure of a languageB.an attempt to clarify misunderstanding about the origin of languageC. a challenge to traditional views on the nature of languageD. a new way to took at the learning of language17. The present growing interest in sign language was stimulated by .A. a leading specialist in the study Of liberal artsB.an English teacher in a university for the deafC.Some senior experts in American Sign LanguageD. a famous Scholar in the study of the human brain18. According to Stokoe, sign language is .A.an international languageB. a substandard languageC.an artificial languageD. a genuine language19. Most educators objected to Stokoe's idea because they thought .a language should be easy to use and understandsign language was too artificial to be widely accepteda language could only exist in the form of speech soundssign language was not extensively used even by deaf people20. Stokoe's argument is based on his belief that .language is a product of the brainlanguage is a system of meaningful codessign language is derived from natural languagesign language is as efficient as any other languageQuestions 21-25 are based on the following passage:Every year 100 million holiday-makers are drawn to the Mediterranean. With one third of theworld's tourist trade, it is the most popular of all the holiday destinations; it is also the most polluted. It has only 1 per cent of the world's sea surface, but carries more than half the oil and tar floating on the waters. Thousands of factories pour their poison into the Mediterranean, and almost every city, town and village on the coast sends its sewage, untreated, into the sea.The result is that the Mediterranean, which nurtured so many civilizations, is gravely ill—the first of the seas to fall victim to the abilities and attitudes that evolved around it. And the pollution does not merely keep back life of the sea—it threatens the people who inhabit and visit its shores.The mournful form of disease is caused by sewage. Eighty-five per cent of the waste from the Mediterranean's 120 coastal cities is pushed out in to the waters where their people and visitors bathe and fish. What is more, most cities just drop it in straight off the beach; rare indeed are the places like Cannes and Tel Aviv which pipe it even half a mile offshore.Not surprisingly, vast areas of the shallows are awash with bacteria and it doesn't take long for these to reach people. Professor William Brumfitt of the Royal Free Hospital once calculated that anyone who goes for a swim in the Mediterranean has a one in seven chance of getting some sort of disease. Other scientists say this is an overestimate; but almost all of them agree that bathers are at risk. Industry adds its own poisons. Factories cluster round the coastline, and even the most modern rarely has proper waste treatment plant. They do as much damage to the sea as sewage. But the good news is that the countries of the Mediterranean have been coming together to work out how to save their common sea.21. The causes of the Mediterranean's pollution is ____.A.the oil and tar floating on the waterB.many factories put their poison into the seaC.untreated sewage from the factories and coastal citiesD.there are some sorts of diseases in the sea22. Which of following consequence of a polluted sea is not true according to the passage?A.Bring up so many civilizations.B.Various diseases in the sea.C.It threatens the inhabitants and travelers.D.One in seven chance of getting some sort of disease swimming in the sea.23. The word “sewage” refers to ____.A.poisonB.wasteC.liquid materialD.solid material24. Why does industry do much damage to the sea?A.Because most factories have proper waste treatment plants.B.Because many factories have not proper waste treatment plants even the most modern one.C.Because just the modern factory has a waste treatment plant.D.Because neither ordinary factories nor most moplants.25. What is the passage mainly about?A.Save the world.B.How the people live in the Mediterranean sea.C.How the industry dangers the sea.D.Beware the dirty sea.Questions 26-30 are based on the following passage:Henry Ford, the famous U.S. inventor and car manufacturer, once said, "The business of America is business." By this he meant that the U.S. way of life is based on the values of the business world.Few would argue with Ford's statement. A brief glimpse at a daily newspaper vividly shows how much people in the United States think about business. For example, nearly every newspaper has a business section, in which the deals and projects, finances and management, stock prices and labor problems of corporations are reported daily. In addition, business news can appear in every other section. Most national news has an important financial aspect to it. Welfare, foreign aid, the federal budget, and the policies of the Federal Reserve Bank are all heavily affected by business. Moreover, business news appears in some of the unlikeliest places. The world of arts and entertainment is often referred to as "the entertainment industry" or "show business."The positive side of Henry Ford's statement can be seen in the prosperity that business has brought to U.S. life. One of the most important reasons so many people from all over the world come to live in the United States is the dream of a better job. Jobs are produced in abundance (大量地) because the U.S. economic system is driven by competition. People believe that this system crates more wealth, more jobs, and a materially better way of life.The negative side of Henry Ford's statement, however, can be seen when the word business is taken to mean big business. And the term big business -- referring to the biggest companies, is seen in opposition to labor. Throughout U.S. history working people have had to fight hard for higher wages, better working conditions, and the fight to form unions. Today, many of the old labor disputes are over, but there is still some employee anxiety. Downsizing ---- the laying off of thousands of workers to keep expenses low and profits high -- creates feelings of insecurity for many.26. The United States is a typical countryA.which encourages free trade at home and abroadB.where people's chief concern is how to make moneyC.where all businesses are managed scientificallyD.which normally works according to the federal budget27. The influence of business in the U.S. is evidenced by the fact thatA.most newspapers are run by big businessesB.even public organizations concentrate on working for profitsC.Americans of all professions know how to do businessD.even arts and entertainment are regarded as business28. According to the passage, immigrants choose to settle in the U.S., dreaming thatA.they can start profitable businesses thereB.they can be more competitive in businessC.they will make a fortune overnight thereD.they will find better chances of employment29. Henry Ford's statement can be taken negatively because1.working people are discouraged to fight for their fights2.there are many industries controlled by a few big capitalists3.there is a conflicting relationship between big corporations and labor4.public services are not run by the federal government30. A company's efforts to keep expenses low and profits high may result inA.reduction in the number of employeesB.improvement of working conditionsC.fewer disputes between labor and managementD. a rise in workers' wagesPart Three ClozeDirections:For each blank in the following passage, choose the best answer from the choices given below.

The following month, Russians successfully launched the 1100 pound SputnikⅡ, 32 carried into space the globe, a female dog named Laika, who suffocated(窒息) on the sixth day of the 33 because of a failure in the internal temperature of the craft. But the satellite itself orbited the earth for 162 days and 34on reentering the earth’s atmosphere.The United States, playing second fiddle(小提琴) to its superpower 35, orbited its first satellite, Explorer 1, on January 31,1958 . It was a lightweight, 18 pound craft, carrying not animals but sensitive instruments to study the 36 bands of energy in space known as the Van Allen radiation belts. Within 37 fifteen years man had gone to the moon, searching beneath its dry and dusty soil for 38 of life (there were not), and begun probing more distant 39 of the solar system?

One theory claims that prehistoric birds of the Northern Hemisphere were forced south during the Ice Age. As the glaciers melted, the birds came back to their homelands, spent the summer, and then went south again as the ice advanced in winter. In time, the migration became a habit in spite of the disappearance of glaciers.Another theory proposes that the ancestral home of all modem birds was the tropics. When the region became overpopulated, many species were crowded north. During the summer, there was plenty of food, but during the winter, scarcity forced them to return to the tropics.A more recent theory suggests a relationship between increasing daylight and the stimulation of certain glands (腺) inthe birds' bodies that may prepare them for migration. One scientist has been able to cause midwinter migrations by exposing birds to artificial periods of daylight. He has concluded that changes occur in the bodies of birds due to seasonal changes in the length of daylight.第11题：According to one theory, when the glaciers disappeared, birds ______.A.stopped migratingB.continued migratingC.stayed in the northD.migrated south and stayed there第12题：The author states that birds left the tropics because ______.A.there was not enough food there in the winterB.there were too many birdsC.there were too many glaciersD.there was too much daylight第13题：Why did one scientist expose birds to artificial daylight?A.To test the relationship between daylight and a disease of the glands common to birds.B.To test the relationship between daylight and migration.C.To test the relationship between migration and temperature.D.To test the relationship between daylight and changes in the season.第14题：According to the theory of photo-periodism, ______.A.birds should migrate in the middle of the winterB.longer days cause changes in the bodies of birdsC.seasonal changes in the length of days do not affect migrationD.increasing daylight increases the distance of migrationThis passage supports the belief that ______.A.exact reasons for migration are not knownB.birds migrate because of changes in temperatureC.the ancestral home of all birds was the tropicsD.glaciers caused birds to migrateIn Guangzhou, capital of South China's Guangdong Province, Guangzhou Baiyun International Airport resumed its international flights to Singapore, Malaysia, Thailand, the Philippines and other Southeast Asian nations and regions early this month, said an airport official yesterday. And the airport's flow of international passengers for July has reached 80 per cent of the figure for the corresponding month of the previous year.Guangzhou Baiyun International Airport had to cancel some international services to Southeast Asian nations and regions because of the outbreak of SARS beginning in April, the official said. The official predicted his airport's international service would return to normal operation and handle even more international passengers in August.Currently, the Guangzhou airport is operating 22 international flights to 20 foreign metropolises. And nine foreign airlines have resumed their international flights to the airport.第16题：In July Guangzhou Baiyun International Airport resumed its international service to ______.A.the whole worldB.only four southeastern nationsC.the Southeast Asian nationsD.all Asian nations第17题：The airport's flow of international passengers for July is ______ the figure for the corresponding month of the previous year.A.20% ofB.20% less thanC.80% more thanD.80% less than第18题：Because of the outbreak of SARS, the airport ______.A.reduced its service to some regionsB.reduced its service to all regionsC.reduced its service to some areas while adding to some other regionsD.canceled all its services to southeast Asian countriesWhich of the following is true?A.The international service in August would be as much as in July.B.The flow of international passengers will be more than that in July.C.The airport will provide less service than in July.D.The flow of international passengers will be more than that in usual time.第20题：The report is mainly aboutA.the operation of Guangzhou Baiyun International AirportB.where people should go to visit after SARSC.the prediction of what will happen to transport and tourism after SARSD.the resuming service in Guangzhou Baiyun International AirportIt is curious how often sympathy for the old and infirm takes a form which actually humiliates them. Their friends, with good will, sometimes lean forward to rearrange their neckwear, touching their hair or patting their faces--things they would never presume to do, unasked, to one of their contemporaries. An equally humiliating habit is to talk about old people in front of them as if they were not there, discussing their health.It is now universally accepted that children should be encouraged to do as much as they can for themselves in order to develop their brains and muscles, but so few people today seem to have time to allow the elderly the same means of keeping their minds and muscles active. They perform innumerable services for the old that they would be much better left to do, even with a struggle, for themselves.Convenient flats, "motherly" visitors, or organized entertainments cannot make up for the fundamental need which must be satisfied--the need to retain to the end of life human dignity and the respect of one's fellows.第21题：Many people are not aware that it is rather rude to ______.A.talk casually about old people in front of them as if they were not thereB.show sympathy for the oldC.take care of the old when they are not illD.pat the faces of the contemporaries第22题：According to the passage the old would very much like to ______.A.live aloneB.live in comfortable and well-run homesC.be treated as adults instead of babiesD.get unselfish help from their friends and relatives第23题：The author suggests that ______.A.much sympathy will inevitably humiliate the oldB.kindness and unselfish help are not necessarily what the old needC.the old should be left to do whatever they want by themselvesD.to the old, the friends' and relatives' respect is, at least, as important as their concern第24题：If the old are left to do as much as they can for themselves, ______.A.they may keep human dignity and enjoy the respect of the fellowsB.they won't feel hurt or humiliatedC.they will be able to develop their brains and musclesD.they will be able to keep their minds and muscles active第25题：The passage is mainly about that ______.A.improper care and concern may do more harm than good to the oldB.how to take good care of the old in different waysC.nowadays many people are not respectful enough to the oldD.old people are just like children, who are difficult to satisfyON DEMAND BUSINESS.IN DEMAND PEOPLE.CAREERS IN IBM ARE ALL ABOUT OPPORTUNITIESWorld leading multinational IT company.

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.Questions 11-15 are based on the following passage:One thing almost everyone is agreed on , including Americans, is that they place a very high valuation upon success. Success does not necessarily mean material rewards, but recognition of some sort—preferably measurable. If a boy turns out to be a preacher(传道者) instead of a businessman, that’s all right. But the bigger his church is, the more successful he is judged to be.A good many things contributed to this accent on success. There was the Puritan(清教徒的) belief in the virtue of work, both for its own sake and because the rewards it brought wereregarded as signs of God’s love. There was the richness of opportunity in a land waiting to be settled. There was the lack of a settled society with fixed ranks and classes, so that a man was certain to rise through achievement.There was the determination of an immigrant to gain in the new world what had been denied to him in the old, and on the part of his children an urge to throw off the immigrant onus(负担) by still more success and still more rise in a fluid and classless society. Brothers did not compete within the family for the favor of the parents as in Europe, but worked hard for success in the outer world, along paths of their own choosing.11. According to the first paragraph, ______.A. success is highly valued in American society.B. success surely brings material rewards.C. success equals measurable recognition.D. people agree on what success means.12. In this passage, the author indicates that _____.A. preachers are not as successful as businessmen.B. businessmen are not as successful as preachers.C. boys are advised to become preachers instead of businessmen.D. measurable success can also be achieved by preachers.13. The word “accent” (line 1, para. 2) most probably means ____.A. dialectB. emphasisC. attentionD. recognition14. Which of the following does NOT account for people’s desire for success?A. The Puritan belief in the virtue of work.B. Richness of opportunities in the new world.C. Lack of fixed social ranks and classes.D. Determination to deny the values of the new world.15. It is suggested in the last paragraph that _______ in the old world.A. children tended to compete for the favor of their parentsB. children were determined to throw off their immigrant identitiesC. children were urged to achieve success in the fluid and classless societyD. children worked hard for success along paths chosen by their parents.Questions 16-20 are based on the following passage:Butterflies are common all over the world but the ones in hot countries are usually bigger and more brightly coloured than those in cooler countries, and there are more different kinds. Usually the male butterfly is more brightly colored than the female. The females have bigger and heavier bodies, since they carry the eggs. the gay colors of the male help to attract the female and the duller colors of the female make them less likely to be caught by enemies before they have laid their eggs.Some butterflies have a bright pattern of colors on the upper surface of their wings which show when they fly, but when they rest on a tree or leaf, they close their wings. On the undersides of their wings there are green and brown markings which look like the tree or leaves. They are then difficult to see. The best example of this is the Dead Leaf Butterfly. Even its wings are closed, it looks exactly like a dead leaf. There are even marks that look like the holes in a dead leaf.

Choose the one that you think is the best answer. Mark your answer on the Answer Sheet by drawing with a pencil a short bar across the corresponding letter in the brackets.Questions 11-15 are based on the following passage:The classroom is a man's world, where boys get two-thirds of the teachers' attention -- even when they are in a minority--taunt (辱骂) the girls without punishment, and receive praise for sloppy work that would not be tolerated from girls. They are accustomed to being teachers' pets, and if girls get anything like equal treatment, they will protest eagerly and even wreck lessons.These claims are made in a book out this week, written by Dale Spender, a lecturer at the London University Institute of Education. She argues that discrimination against girls is so deeply in co-educational schools that single-sex classes are the only answer.Her case is based on tape-recordings of her own and other teachers' lessons. Many of them, like Spender, had deliberately se t out to give girls a fair chance. “Sometimes,” says Spender, “I have even thought I have gone too far and have spent more time with the girls than the boys.” The tapes proved otherwise. In 10 taped lessons (in secondary school and college), Spender never gave the girls more than 42 per cent of her attention (the average was 38 percent) and never gave the boys less than 58 percent. There were similar results for other teachers, both male and female.In other words, when teachers give girls more than a third of their time, they feel that they are cheating the boys of their rightful share. And so do the boys themselves. “She always asks the girls all the questions,” said one boy in a classroom where 34 per cent of the teachers' time was allocated to girls. “She doesn't like boys, and just listens to the girls.” said a boy in another class, where his sex got63 per cent of teacher attention. Boys regarded two-thirds of the teacher's time as a fair deal — and when they got less they caused trouble in class and e ven complained to higher authority. “It's important to keep their attention,” said one teacher, “Otherwise, they play you up something awful.”Spender concludes that, in mixed classes, if the girls are as boisterous and pushy as the boys, they are conside red “unladylike”, if they are docile and quiet, they are ignored.11. If boys are better treated in class, ____ would be better.A.single-sex classes and co-educational classesB.co-educational classesC.single-sex classesD.None of the above12. Dale Spender obtained the evidence for her claims by ____A.her own lessons in secondary school and collegeB.the other teachers' tape-recordingsC.both male and female teachersD.tape-recordings of her own and other teachers' lessons13. What are the boy's reactions when girls are given more attention?A.They will keep the teachers' attention again.B.They will make some trouble and complain to the headmaster.C.They will play up the teacher something awful.D.They will feel they are cheated by teachers.14. The word “boisterous” in the last paragraph probably means ____.A.roughB.braveC.troublesomeD.emotional15. The best title for this passage would be ____.A.boys are teachers' petsB.boys do better in co-educational classesC.single-sex classes are better than co-educational classesD.girls do better than boysQuestions 16-20 are based on the following passage:Sign has become a scientific hot button. Only in the past 20 years have specialists in language study realized that signed languages are unique -- a speech of the hand. They offer a new way to probe how the brain generates and understands language, and throw new light on an old scientific controversy: whether language, complete with grammar, is something that we are born with, or whether it is a learned behavior. The current interest in sign language has roots in the pioneering work of one rebel teacher at Gallaudet University in Washington, D.C., the world's only liberal arts university for deaf people.When Bill Stokoe went to Gallaudet to teach English, the school enrolled him in a course in signing. But Stokoe noticed something odd: among themselves, students signed differently from his classroom teacher. Stokoe had been taught a sort of gestural code, each movement of the hands representing a word in English. At the time, American Sign Language (ASL) was thought to be nomore than a form of pidgin English (混杂英语). But Stokoe believed the "hand talk" his students used looked richer. He wondered: Might deaf people actually have a genuine language? And could that language be unlike any other on Earth? It was 1955, when even deaf people dismissed their signing as "substandard". Stokoe's idea was academic heresy (异端邪说).It is 37 years later. Stokoe -- now devoting his time to writing and editing books and journals and to producing video materials on ASL and the deaf culture - is having lunch at a caf6 near the Gallaudet campus and explaining how he started a revolution. For decades educators fought his idea that signed languages are natural languages like English, French and Japanese. They assumed language must be based on speech, the modulation (调节) of sound. But sign language is based on the movement of hands, the modulation of space. "What I said," Stokoe explains, "is that language is not mouth stuff- it's brain stuff."16. The study of sign language is thought to be .A.an approach to simplifying the grammatical structure of a languageB.an attempt to clarify misunderstanding about the origin of languageC. a challenge to traditional views on the nature of languageD. a new way to took at the learning of language17. The present growing interest in sign language was stimulated by .A. a leading specialist in the study Of liberal artsB.an English teacher in a university for the deafC.Some senior experts in American Sign LanguageD. a famous Scholar in the study of the human brain18. According to Stokoe, sign language is .A.an international languageB. a substandard languageC.an artificial languageD. a genuine language19. Most educators objected to Stokoe's idea because they thought .a language should be easy to use and understandsign language was too artificial to be widely accepteda language could only exist in the form of speech soundssign language was not extensively used even by deaf people20. Stokoe's argument is based on his belief that .language is a product of the brainlanguage is a system of meaningful codessign language is derived from natural languagesign language is as efficient as any other languageQuestions 21-25 are based on the following passage:Every year 100 million holiday-makers are drawn to the Mediterranean. With one third of the world's tourist trade, it is the most popular of all the holiday destinations; it is also the most polluted. It has only 1 per cent of the world's sea surface, but carries more than half the oil and tar floating on the waters. Thousands of factories pour their poison into the Mediterranean, and almost every city, town and village on the coast sends its sewage, untreated, into the sea.The result is that the Mediterranean, which nurtured so many civilizations, is gravely ill—the first of the seas to fall victim to the abilities and attitudes that evolved around it. And the pollution does not merely keep back life of the sea—it threatens the people who inhabit and visit its shores.The mournful form of disease is caused by sewage. Eighty-five per cent of the waste from the Mediterranean's 120 coastal cities is pushed out in to the waters where their people and visitors bathe and fish. What is more, most cities just drop it in straight off the beach; rare indeed are the places like Cannes and Tel Aviv which pipe it even half a mile offshore.Not surprisingly, vast areas of the shallows are awash with bacteria and it doesn't take long for these to reach people. Professor William Brumfitt of the Royal Free Hospital once calculated that anyone who goes for a swim in the Mediterranean has a one in seven chance of getting some sort of disease. Other scientists say this is an overestimate; but almost all of them agree that bathers are at risk. Industry adds its own poisons. Factories cluster round the coastline, and even the most modern rarely has proper waste treatment plant. They do as much damage to the sea as sewage. But the good news is that the countries of the Mediterranean have been coming together to work out how to save their common sea.21. The causes of the Mediterranean's pollution is ____.A.the oil and tar floating on the waterB.many factories put their poison into the seaC.untreated sewage from the factories and coastal citiesD.there are some sorts of diseases in the sea22. Which of following consequence of a polluted sea is not true according to the passage?A.Bring up so many civilizations.B.Various diseases in the sea.C.It threatens the inhabitants and travelers.D.One in seven chance of getting some sort of disease swimming in the sea.23. The word “sewage” refers to ____.A.poisonB.wasteC.liquid materialD.solid material24. Why does industry do much damage to the sea?A.Because most factories have proper waste treatment plants.B.Because many factories have not proper waste treatment plants even the most modern one.C.Because just the modern factory has a waste treatment plant.D.Because neither ordinary factories nor most moplants.25. What is the passage mainly about?A.Save the world.B.How the people live in the Mediterranean sea.C.How the industry dangers the sea.D.Beware the dirty sea.Questions 26-30 are based on the following passage:Henry Ford, the famous U.S. inventor and car manufacturer, once said, "The business of America is business." By this he meant that the U.S. way of life is based on the values of the business world.Few would argue with Ford's statement. A brief glimpse at a daily newspaper vividly shows how much people in the United States think about business. For example, nearly every newspaper has a business section, in which the deals and projects, finances and management, stock prices and labor problems of corporations are reported daily. In addition, business news can appear in every other section. Most national news has an important financial aspect to it. Welfare, foreign aid, the federal budget, and the policies of the Federal Reserve Bank are all heavily affected by business. Moreover, business news appears in some of the unlikeliest places. The world of arts and entertainment is often referred to as "the entertainment industry" or "show business."The positive side of Henry Ford's statement can be seen in the prosperity that business has brought to U.S. life. One of the most important reasons so many people from all over the world come to live in the United States is the dream of a better job. Jobs are produced in abundance (大量地) because the U.S. economic system is driven by competition. People believe that this system crates more wealth, more jobs, and a materially better way of life.The negative side of Henry Ford's statement, however, can be seen when the word business is taken to mean big business. And the term big business -- referring to the biggest companies, is seen in opposition to labor. Throughout U.S. history working people have had to fight hard for higher wages, better working conditions, and the fight to form unions. Today, many of the old labor disputes are over, but there is still some employee anxiety. Downsizing ---- the laying off of thousands of workers to keep expenses low and profits high -- creates feelings of insecurity for many.26. The United States is a typical countryA.which encourages free trade at home and abroadB.where people's chief concern is how to make moneyC.where all businesses are managed scientificallyD.which normally works according to the federal budget27. The influence of business in the U.S. is evidenced by the fact thatA.most newspapers are run by big businessesB.even public organizations concentrate on working for profitsC.Americans of all professions know how to do businessD.even arts and entertainment are regarded as business28. According to the passage, immigrants choose to settle in the U.S., dreaming thatA.they can start profitable businesses thereB.they can be more competitive in businessC.they will make a fortune overnight thereD.they will find better chances of employment29. Henry Ford's statement can be taken negatively because1.working people are discouraged to fight for their fights2.there are many industries controlled by a few big capitalists3.there is a conflicting relationship between big corporations and labor4.public services are not run by the federal government30. A company's efforts to keep expenses low and profits high may result inA.reduction in the number of employeesB.improvement of working conditionsC.fewer disputes between labor and managementD. a rise in workers' wagesPart Three ClozeDirections:For each blank in the following passage, choose the best answer from the choices given below. Mark your answer on the Answer Sheet by drawing with a pencil a short bar across the corresponding letter in the brackets.The space age officially began on October 4, 1957, 31 the Soviet Union launched the modest 185 pound SputnikⅠ, the first artificial satellite to orbit the earth. The following month, Russians successfully launched the 1100 pound SputnikⅡ, 32 carried into space the globe, a female dog named Laika, who suffocated(窒息) on the sixth day of the 33 because of a failure in the internal temperature of the craft.

It was a lightweight, 18 pound craft, carrying not animals but sensitive instruments to study the 36 bands of energy in space known as the Van Allen radiation belts. Within 37 fifteen years man had gone to the moon, searching beneath its dry and dusty soil for 38 of life (there were not), and begun probing more distant 39 of the solar system?

Jobs are produced in abundance (大量地) because the U.S. economic system is driven by competition. People believe that this system crates more wealth, more jobs, and a materially better way of life.The negative side of Henry Ford's statement, however, can be seen when the word business is taken to mean big business. And the term big business -- referring to the biggest companies, is seen in opposition to labor. Throughout U.S. history working people have had to fight hard for higher wages, better working conditions, and the fight to form unions. Today, many of the old labor disputes are over, but there is still some employee anxiety. Downsizing ---- the laying off of thousands of workers to keep expenses low and profits high -- creates feelings of insecurity for many.26. The United States is a typical countryA.which encourages free trade at home and abroadB.where people's chief concern is how to make moneyC.where all businesses are managed scientificallyD.which normally works according to the federal budget27. The influence of business in the U.S. is evidenced by the fact thatA.most newspapers are run by big businessesB.even public organizations concentrate on working for profitsC.Americans of all professions know how to do businessD.even arts and entertainment are regarded as business28. According to the passage, immigrants choose to settle in the U.S., dreaming thatA.they can start profitable businesses thereB.they can be more competitive in businessC.they will make a fortune overnight thereD.they will find better chances of employment29. Henry Ford's statement can be taken negatively because1.working people are discouraged to fight for their fights2.there are many industries controlled by a few big capitalists3.there is a conflicting relationship between big corporations and labor4.public services are not run by the federal government30. A company's efforts to keep expenses low and profits high may result inA.reduction in the number of employeesB.improvement of working conditionsC.fewer disputes between labor and managementD. a rise in workers' wagesPart Three ClozeDirections:For each blank in the following passage, choose the best answer from the choices given below.

The following month, Russians successfully launched the 1100 pound SputnikⅡ, 32 carried into space the globe, a female dog named Laika, who suffocated(窒息) on the sixth day of the 33 because of a failure in the internal temperature of the craft. But the satellite itself orbited the earth for 162 days and 34on reentering the earth’s atmosphere.The United States, playing second fiddle(小提琴) to its superpower 35, orbited its first satellite, Explorer 1, on January 31,1958 . It was a lightweight, 18 pound craft, carrying not animals but sensitive instruments to study the 36 bands of energy in space known as the Van Allen radiation belts. Within 37 fifteen years man had gone to the moon, searching beneath its dry and dusty soil for 38 of life (there were not), and begun probing more distant 39 of the solar system?

Green buildings can also refer to environmentally friendly houses, factories, and offices.Buildings account for 65 percent of total U.S. electricity use. But green buildings can reduce energy and water use. Also, the buildings are often located near public transportation such as buses and subways, so that people can drive their cars less. That could be good for the environment, because cars use lots of natural resources such as gasoline, and give off pollution. Green buildings are often built on previously developed land, so that the buildings don’t destroy forests or other wild habitats (栖息地).Marty Dettling is project manager for a building that puts these ideas into action. The Solaire has been called the country’s first green residential high-rise building. According to Dettling, “We’ve reduced our energy consumption by one-third and our water by 50 percent.”Not everyone is leaping to move into a green building, however. Some people think that features such as solar panels cost more money than more traditional energy sources. Despite this, Dettling hopes that green buildings will become common in the future. “It’s going to be big,” she said.11. What do green buildings refer to nowadays?A. Buildings painted by green hands.B. Buildings covered with green plants.C. Buildings that are environment-friendly.D. Buildings like houses, factories, and offices.12. The word “Also” (line 2, para. 2)is used to ___.A. continue the discussion of total U.S. electricity use.B. Expand the topic of the reduction of energy and water use.C. Include the discussion of public transportation.D. Shift the focus to the topic of the environment protection.13. In terms of land use, green buildings are constructed by ____.A. making use of the developed land.B. Developing new land.C. Clearing the ground in a forest.D. Draining wild habitats.14. Why are some people NOT so enthusiastic about green buildings?A. Because they do not jump into a green building.B. Because they fail to move into a green building.C. Because they find it more costly to live in a green building.D. Because they think that solar panels still cost too much.15. What did M arty Dettling mean when she said “It’s going to be big”?A. Green buildings have a great potential.B. People expect bigger green buildings.C. Green buildings will be larger in size.D. People prefer to live in bigger buildings.Questions 16-20 are based on the following passage:Theme-park-bound bargain seekers would be wise to spend some time surfing online before they get in line at the parks this summer.A growing number of these attractions now allow customers to print e-tickets at home with large discounts off the gate price, in part to spur attendance that has declined in recent years.After boom times in the late 1990s, theme park attendance began to decrease, with an overall decline of about 4% over the past few years at North America’s 50 most-visited establishments, says James Zoltak, editor of Amusement Business.“The bloom was off the rose as we turned the corner into 2000, so there’s more discounting now,” he says.Discounting isn’t new to an industry that has long partnered with other commerci al enterprises, such as soft drink companies, to offer deals. The e-ticketing adds a new opportunity that not only brings savings but convenience as well, since it allows visitors to avoid the line at the gate.“If you can get in early before the lines fill up, you're getting more for your money,” says Robert Niles of the website Theme Park Insider.16. The word “attractions” (line 1, para. 2) refers to ___.A. theme parksB. bargainsC. e-ticketsD. discounts17. Why do more and more theme parks offer large discounts off gate price?A. To get in line at the parks this summer.B. To encourage more people to come to the parks.C. To enable people to get e-tickets at home.D. To reduce the attendance figure.18. What does the se ntence “The bloom was off the rose” mean?A. the rose in the theme park was out of bloom.B. the year 2000 was lucky for the 50 establishments.C. the theme park attendance was like the rose.D. the best time for the theme parks was gone.19. What is the new opportunity e-ticketing brings to the theme parks?A. The theme park industry will be more profitable.B. Soft drink companies will be better partners of the parks.C. The tour to the parks will be more convenient.D. Visitors to the parks will have more discounts.20. The last sentence of this passage is based on the idea that ____.A. it is wise to surf online.B. discounting isn’t everything.C. e-ticketing attracts more partners.D. time is money.Questions 21-25 are based on the following passage:One thing almost everyone is agreed on , including Americans, is that they place a very high valuation upon success. Success does not necessarily mean material rewards, but recognition of some sort—preferably measurable. If a boy turns out to be a preacher(传道者) instead of a businessman, that’s all right. But the bigger his church is, the more successful he is judged to be.A good many things contributed to this accent on success. There was the Puritan(清教徒的) belief in the virtue of work, both for its own sake and because the rewards it brought were regarded as signs of God’s love. There was the richness of opportunity in a land waiting to be settled. There was the lack of a settled society with fixed ranks and classes, so that a man was certain to rise through achievement.There was the determination of an immigrant to gain in the new world what had been denied to him in the old, and on the part of his children an urge to throw off the immigrant onus(负担) by still more success and still more rise in a fluid and classless society. Brothers did not compete within the family for the favor of the parents as in Europe, but worked hard for success in the outer world, along paths of their own choosing.21. According to the first paragraph, ______.A. success is highly valued in American society.B. success surely brings material rewards.C. success equals measurable recognition.D. people agree on what success means.22. In this passage, the author indicates that _____.A. preachers are not as successful as businessmen.B. businessmen are not as successful as preachers.C. boys are advised to become preachers instead of businessmen.D. measurable success can also be achieved by preachers.23. The word “accent” (line 1, para. 2) most probably means ____.A. dialectB. emphasisC. attentionD. recognition24. Which of the following does NOT account for people’s desire for success?A. The Puritan belief in the virtue of work.B. Richness of opportunities in the new world.C. Lack of fixed social ranks and classes.D. Determination to deny the values of the new world.25. It is suggested in the last paragraph that _______ in the old world.A. children tended to compete for the favor of their parentsB. children were determined to throw off their immigrant identitiesC. children were urged to achieve success in the fluid and classless societyD. children worked hard for success along paths chosen by their parents.

Choose the one that you think is the best answer. Mark your answer on the Answer Sheet by drawing with a pencil a short bar across the corresponding letter in the brackets.Questions 11-15 are based on the following passage:The classroom is a man's world, where boys get two-thirds of the teachers' attention -- even when they are in a minority--taunt (辱骂) the girls without punishment, and receive praise for sloppy work that would not be tolerated from girls. They are accustomed to being teachers' pets, and if girls get anything like equal treatment, they will protest eagerly and even wreck lessons.These claims are made in a book out this week, written by Dale Spender, a lecturer at the London University Institute of Education. She argues that discrimination against girls is so deeply in co-educational schools that single-sex classes are the only answer.Her case is based on tape-recordings of her own and other teachers' lessons. Many of them, like Spender, had deliberately set out to give girls a fair chance. “Sometimes,” says Spender, “I have even thought I have gone too far and have spent more time with the girls than the boys.” The tapes proved otherwise. In 10 taped lessons (in secondary school and college), Spender never gave the girls more than 42 per cent of her attention (the average was 38 percent) and never gave the boys less than 58 percent. There were similar results for other teachers, both male and female.In other words, when teachers give girls more than a third of their time, they feel that they are cheating the boys of their rightful share. And so do the boys themselves. “She always asks the girls all the questions,” said one boy in a classroom where 34 per cent of the teachers' time was allocated to girls. “She doesn't like boys, and just listens to the girls.” said a boy in another class, where his sex got 63 per cent of teacher attention. Boys regarded two-thirds of the teacher's time as a fair deal — and when they got less they caused trouble in class and even complained to higher authority. “It's importantto keep their attention,” said one teacher, “Otherwise, they play you up something awful.”Spender concludes that, in mixed classes, if the girls are as boisterous and pushy as the boys, they are considered “unladylike”, if they are docile and quiet, they are ignored.11. If boys are better treated in class, ____ would be better.A.single-sex classes and co-educational classesB.co-educational classesC.single-sex classesD.None of the above12. Dale Spender obtained the evidence for her claims by ____A.her own lessons in secondary school and collegeB.the other teachers' tape-recordingsC.both male and female teachersD.tape-recordings of her own and other teachers' lessons13. What are the boy's reactions when girls are given more attention?A.They will keep the teachers' attention again.B.They will make some trouble and complain to the headmaster.C.They will play up the teacher something awful.D.They will feel they are cheated by teachers.14. The word “boisterous” in the last paragraph probably means ____.A.roughB.braveC.troublesomeD.emotional15. The best title for this passage would be ____.A.boys are teachers' petsB.boys do better in co-educational classesC.single-sex classes are better than co-educational classesD.girls do better than boysQuestions 16-20 are based on the following passage:Sign has become a scientific hot button. Only in the past 20 years have specialists in language study realized that signed languages are unique -- a speech of the hand. They offer a new way to probe how the brain generates and understands language, and throw new light on an old scientific controversy: whether language, complete with grammar, is something that we are born with, or whether it is a learned behavior. The current interest in sign language has roots in the pioneering work of one rebel teacher at Gallaudet University in Washington, D.C., the world's only liberal arts university for deaf people.When Bill Stokoe went to Gallaudet to teach English, the school enrolled him in a course in signing. But Stokoe noticed something odd: among themselves, students signed differently from his classroom teacher. Stokoe had been taught a sort of gestural code, each movement of the hands representing a word in English. At the time, American Sign Language (ASL) was thought to be no more than a form of pidgin English (混杂英语). But Stokoe believed the "hand talk" his students used looked richer. He wondered: Might deaf people actually have a genuine language? And could that language be unlike any other on Earth? It was 1955, when even deaf people dismissed their signing as"substandard". Stokoe's idea was academic heresy (异端邪说).It is 37 years later. Stokoe -- now devoting his time to writing and editing books and journals and to producing video materials on ASL and the deaf culture - is having lunch at a caf6 near the Gallaudet campus and explaining how he started a revolution. For decades educators fought his idea that signed languages are natural languages like English, French and Japanese. They assumed language must be based on speech, the modulation (调节) of sound. But sign language is based on the movement of hands, the modulation of space. "What I said," Stokoe explains, "is that language is not mouth stuff- it's brain stuff."16. The study of sign language is thought to be .A.an approach to simplifying the grammatical structure of a languageB.an attempt to clarify misunderstanding about the origin of languageC. a challenge to traditional views on the nature of languageD. a new way to took at the learning of language17. The present growing interest in sign language was stimulated by .A. a leading specialist in the study Of liberal artsB.an English teacher in a university for the deafC.Some senior experts in American Sign LanguageD. a famous Scholar in the study of the human brain18. According to Stokoe, sign language is .A.an international languageB. a substandard languageC.an artificial languageD. a genuine language19. Most educators objected to Stokoe's idea because they thought .A. a language should be easy to use and understandB.sign language was too artificial to be widely acceptedC. a language could only exist in the form of speech soundsD.sign language was not extensively used even by deaf people20. Stokoe's argument is based on his belief that .nguage is a product of the brainnguage is a system of meaningful codesC.sign language is derived from natural languageD.sign language is as efficient as any other languageQuestions 21-25 are based on the following passage:Every year 100 million holiday-makers are drawn to the Mediterranean. With one third of the world's tourist trade, it is the most popular of all the holiday destinations; it is also the most polluted. It has only 1 per cent of the world's sea surface, but carries more than half the oil and tar floating on the waters. Thousands of factories pour their poison into the Mediterranean, and almost every city, town and village on the coast sends its sewage, untreated, into the sea.The result is that the Mediterranean, which nurtured so many civilizations, is gravely ill—the first of the seas to fall victim to the abilities and attitudes that evolved around it. And the pollution does not merely keep back life of the sea—it threatens the people who inhabit and visit its shores.The mournful form of disease is caused by sewage. Eighty-five per cent of the waste from theMediterranean's 120 coastal cities is pushed out in to the waters where their people and visitors bathe and fish. What is more, most cities just drop it in straight off the beach; rare indeed are the places like Cannes and Tel Aviv which pipe it even half a mile offshore.Not surprisingly, vast areas of the shallows are awash with bacteria and it doesn't take long for these to reach people. Professor William Brumfitt of the Royal Free Hospital once calculated that anyone who goes for a swim in the Mediterranean has a one in seven chance of getting some sort of disease. Other scientists say this is an overestimate; but almost all of them agree that bathers are at risk. Industry adds its own poisons. Factories cluster round the coastline, and even the most modern rarely has proper waste treatment plant. They do as much damage to the sea as sewage. But the good news is that the countries of the Mediterranean have been coming together to work out how to save their common sea.21. The causes of the Mediterranean's pollution is ____.A.the oil and tar floating on the waterB.many factories put their poison into the seaC.untreated sewage from the factories and coastal citiesD.there are some sorts of diseases in the sea22. Which of following consequence of a polluted sea is not true according to the passage?A.Bring up so many civilizations.B.Various diseases in the sea.C.It threatens the inhabitants and travelers.D.One in seven chance of getting some sort of disease swimming in the sea.23. The word “sewage” refers to ____.A.poisonB.wasteC.liquid materialD.solid material24. Why does industry do much damage to the sea?A.Because most factories have proper waste treatment plants.B.Because many factories have not proper waste treatment plants even the most modern one.C.Because just the modern factory has a waste treatment plant.D.Because neither ordinary factories nor most modern ones have proper waste treatment plants.25. What is the passage mainly about?A.Save the world.B.How the people live in the Mediterranean sea.C.How the industry dangers the sea.D.Beware the dirty sea.Questions 26-30 are based on the following passage:Henry Ford, the famous U.S. inventor and car manufacturer, once said, "The business of America is business." By this he meant that the U.S. way of life is based on the values of the business world.Few would argue with Ford's statement. A brief glimpse at a daily newspaper vividly shows how much people in the United States think about business. For example, nearly every newspaper has a business section, in which the deals and projects, finances and management, stock prices and labor problems of corporations are reported daily. In addition, business news can appear in every othersection. Most national news has an important financial aspect to it. Welfare, foreign aid, the federal budget, and the policies of the Federal Reserve Bank are all heavily affected by business. Moreover, business news appears in some of the unlikeliest places. The world of arts and entertainment is often referred to as "the entertainment industry" or "show business."The positive side of Henry Ford's statement can be seen in the prosperity that business has brought to U.S. life. One of the most important reasons so many people from all over the world come to live in the United States is the dream of a better job. Jobs are produced in abundance (大量地) because the U.S. economic system is driven by competition. People believe that this system crates more wealth, more jobs, and a materially better way of life.The negative side of Henry Ford's statement, however, can be seen when the word business is taken to mean big business. And the term big business -- referring to the biggest companies, is seen in opposition to labor. Throughout U.S. history working people have had to fight hard for higher wages, better working conditions, and the fight to form unions. Today, many of the old labor disputes are over, but there is still some employee anxiety. Downsizing ---- the laying off of thousands of workers to keep expenses low and profits high -- creates feelings of insecurity for many.26. The United States is a typical countryA.which encourages free trade at home and abroadB.where people's chief concern is how to make moneyC.where all businesses are managed scientificallyD.which normally works according to the federal budget27. The influence of business in the U.S. is evidenced by the fact thatA.most newspapers are run by big businessesB.even public organizations concentrate on working for profitsC.Americans of all professions know how to do businessD.even arts and entertainment are regarded as business28. According to the passage, immigrants choose to settle in the U.S., dreaming thatA.they can start profitable businesses thereB.they can be more competitive in businessC.they will make a fortune overnight thereD.they will find better chances of employment29. Henry Ford's statement can be taken negatively becauseA.working people are discouraged to fight for their fightsB.there are many industries controlled by a few big capitalistsC.there is a conflicting relationship between big corporations and laborD.public services are not run by the federal government30. A company's efforts to keep expenses low and profits high may result inA.reduction in the number of employeesB.improvement of working conditionsC.fewer disputes between labor and managementD. a rise in workers' wagesPart Three ClozeDirections:For each blank in the following passage, choose the best answer from the choices givenbelow. Mark your answer on the Answer Sheet by drawing with a pencil a short bar across the corresponding letter in the brackets.The space age officially began on October 4, 1957, 31 the Soviet Union launched the modest 185 pound SputnikⅠ, the first artificial satellite to orbit the earth. The following month, Russians successfully launched the 1100 pound SputnikⅡ, 32 carried into space the globe, a female dog named Laika, who suffocated(窒息) on the sixth day of the 33 because of a failure in the internal temperature of the craft.

It was a lightweight, 18 pound craft, carrying not animals but sensitive instruments to study the 36 bands of energy in space known as the Van Allen radiation belts. Within 37 fifteen years man had gone to the moon, searching beneath its dry and dusty soil for 38 of life (there were not), and begun probing more distant 39 of the solar system?

Choose the best one and mark your answer on the ANSWER SHEET with a single line through the center.Questions 11-15 are based on the following passage:Firefighters are often asked to speak to school and community groups about the importance of fire safety, particularly fire prevention and detection. Because smoke detectors reduce the risk of dying in a fire by half, firefighters often provide audiences with information on how to install these protective devices in their homes.Specifically, they tell them these things: A smoke detector should be placed on each floor of a home. While sleeping, people are in particular danger of an emergent fire, and there must be a detector outside each sleeping area. A good site for a detector would be a hallway that runs between living spaces and bedrooms.Because of the dead-air space that might be missed by hot air bouncing around above a fire, smoke detectors should be installed either on the ceiling at least four inches from the nearest wall, or high on a wall at least four, but no further than twelve, inches from the ceiling.Detectors should not be mounted near windows, entrances, or other places where drafts (过堂风) might direct the smoke away from the unit. Nor should they be placed in kitchens and garages, where cooking and gas fumes are likely to cause false alarms.11. One responsibility of a firefighter is to ______________.A. install smoke detectors in residents' homesB. check if smoke detectors are properly installedC. develop fire safety programs for schoolsD. speak to residents about how to prevent fires12. Compared with homes without smoke detectors, homes with them give their owners a 50% better chance of____________.A. surviving a fireB.preventing a fireC. detecting a hidden fireD. not getting injured in a fire13.

However， the volume of business done on the Internet is growing rapidly， as peopleorder books and other products and make money transactions. All this is creating temptat ions for hackers（黑客）。
Hackers are often young people who are interested in computers. They use them to mov e quietly to the Internet， looking for ways to break into computers systems run by bank s， telephone companies and even Government departments. They look for examples of credit cards and try to steal the numbers.Hackers rarely admit to a successful break-in. The first indication of a hacking may be when a customer discovers a wrong money transaction on a credit card account. It is harder to check on somebody misusing an online connection unless there is a massive down load of information which would call the attention of the consumer.11. The main idea of the first paragraph is that ______.（A） the opportunities for criminal activities on the Internet have been low（B） the opportunities for criminal activities on the Internet are low（C） there are more opportunities for criminal activities on the Internet（D） people should not make money transactions on the Internet12. The word “temptations” in the firs t paragraph is closest in meaning to ______.（A） interests （B） attractions（C） benefits （D） profits13. In the passage，it‘s said that hackers may attack the Internet system of all the following institutions except _____.（A） banks（B） telephone companies（C） universities（D） government departments14. Which of the following is not the reason for a hacking being found？（A） The customer found something wrong with his account.（B） There was a huge amount of information being downloaded.（C） There was a wrong money transaction.（D） The hacker proudly admitted his successful break-in.15. In the last sentence of the paragraph，“somebody” refers to a______.（A） customer （B） card user（C） hacker （D） bank clerkQuestions 16-20 are based on the following passage：For any Englishman，there can never be any discussion as to who is the world‘s grea test writer. Only one name can possibly suggest itself to him： that of William Shakespea re（莎士比亚）。
Every Englishman has some knowledge of his work. All of us use words and phrases from Shakespeare’s writings that have become a part of the English-speaking peo ple.Shakespeare， more perhaps than any other writer， made full use of the English langu age. Most of us use about five thousand words in our normal employment of English； Shake speare in his works used about twenty-five thousand！ There is probably no better way for a foreigner （or an Englishman！） to appreciate the richness and variety of the English language than by studying the various ways in which Shakespeare uses it. Such a study i s well worth the effort （it is not， of course， recommended to beginners）， even thoug h some aspects of English usage， and the meaning of many words， have changed since Shak espeare‘s day.16. From the first two sentences of the passage we can conclude that ________.（A）it can‘t be discussed about who is the world’s greatest poet（B）it can‘t be discussed about who is the world’s greatest dramatist（C） Shakespeare is regarded as a greatest writer（D） Engl ishmen like to discuss about who is the world‘s greatest writer17.

To learn the richness of the English language， people should ______.（A）read Shakespeare‘s plays（B） learn from an English man（C） be glad to be a foreigner（D） write and read more19. The author does not suggest beginners reading Shakespeare‘s plays， probably bec ause _____.（A） the works are for native speakers（B） only Englishmen can understand his plays（C） the works are too difficult for a beginner（D） some of English usage and the meaning of many words have changed20. In this passage the author wants to _______.（A） show the richness of English language（B） tell how great a writer Shakespeare is（C） tell that some English words are out of use now（D）tell that some aspects of English usage have changed since Shakespeare‘s dayQuestions 21-25 are based on the following passage：Oxford and Cambridge differ from the rest of the universities in Great Britain in ma ny important respects， but resemble each other quite closely.Oxford was founded in the 12th century. There are at present 35 colleges： three are for women only and the rest take both men and women. There are at present approximately 9，400 students in residence， of whom over a third are women. The city of Oxford is popu lar with tourists because of the University‘s many beautiful medieval buildings.Cambridge was founded in the 13th century.

With an estimated net wort h of US$1 billion， the 53-year-old entrepreneur and his Shanghai-based Hope Group are sy mbols of the new China.But Forbes‘ list of the 100 richest individuals in China also illustrates the growing income inequality here that alarms some officials. The Forbes survey found that the 100 richest people in China had a combined net worth of US$18 billion in the year ended Se ptember 30. That’s small change by US standards： The most recent Forbes ranking of glob al billionaires put the net worth of Bill Gates alone at more than US$58 billion. But wh at‘s remarkable about China’s wealth numbers is how fast they‘re rising. The wealth of the top 50 on this year’s China list jumped 40 per cent， to US$14 billion， from US$10 billion last year despite a global economic slump.26.
