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

Each passage is followed by some questions or incomplete statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. You should decide on the best choice and mark the corresponding letter on Answer Sheet .Passage 1Without proper planning, tourism can cause problems. For example, too many tourists can crowd public places that are also enjoyed by the inhabitants of a country. If tourists create too much traffic, the inhabitants become annoyed and unhappy. They begin to dislike tourists and to treat them impolitely. They forget how much tourism can help the country's economy. It is important to think about the people of a destination(目的地）country and how tourism affects them. Tourism should help a country keep the customs and beauty that attract tourists. Tourism should also advance the well-being (health and happiness）of local inhabitants.Too much tourism can be a problem. If tourism grows too quickly, people leave other jobs to work in the tourism industry. This means that other parts of the country's economy can suffer On the other hand, if there is not enough tourism, people can lose jobs. Businesses can also lose money. It costs a great deal of money to build large hotels, airports, air terminals, first-class roads, and other support facilities(设施）needed by tourist attractions. For example, a major international-class tourism hotel can cost as much as 50 thousand dollars per room to build. If this room is not used most of the time, the owners of the hotel lose money.Building a hotel is just a beginning. There must be many support facilities as well, including roads to get to the hotel, electricity, sewers (阴沟）to handle waste, and water. All of these support facilities cost money. If they are not used because there are not enough tourists, jobs and money are lost.61. Which of the following has most probably been discussed in the paragraph that goes before the passage?A. It is extremely important to develop tourism.B. Building roads and hotels is necessary.C. Support facilities are highly necessary.D. Planning is of great importance to tourism.62. Too much tourism can cause all these problems EXCEPT _______.A. a bad impact on other industriesB. a change of tourists' customsC. overcrowdedness of places of interestD. pressure on traffic63. Not enough tourism can lead to _______.A. an increase of unemploymentB. a decrease in tourist attractionsC. the higher cost of support facilitiesD. a rise in price and a fall in pay64. It is good for local people to be well aware that tourism will _______.A. use up a large amount of waterB. weaken their economyC. help establish their traditionsD. help improve their life65. The word handle in the last paragraph most probably means _______.A.carry awayB. pick upC. get inD. take downPassage 2Educators are seriously concerned about the high rate of dropouts among the doctor of philosophy candidates and the consequent loss of talent to a nation in need of Ph. D. s. Some have placed the dropouts loss as high as 50 percent. The extent of the loss was, however, largely a matter of expert guessing. Last week a well-rounded study was published. It was published. It was based on 22,000 questionnaires sent to former graduate students who were enrolled in 24 universities and it seemed to show many past fears to be groundless.The dropouts rate was found to be 31 per cent, and in most cases the dropouts, while not completing the Ph. D. requirement, went on to productive work. They are not only doing well financially, but, according to the report, are not far below the income levels of those who went on to complete their doctorates.Discussing the study last week, Dr. Tucker said the project was initiated ‘because of the concern frequently expressed by graduate faculties and administrators that some of the individuals who dropped out of Ph. D. programs were capable of competing the requirement for the degree. Attrition at the Ph. D. level is also thought to be a waste of precious faculty time and a drain on university resources already being used to capacity. Some people expressed the opinion that the shortage of highly trained specialists and college teachers could be reduced by persuading the dropouts to return to graduate schools to complete the Ph. D.’“The results of our research” Dr. Tucker concluded, “did not support these opinions.”ck of motivation was the principal reason for dropping out.2.Most dropouts went as far in their doctoral program as was consistent with their levels ofability or their specialities.3.Most dropouts are now engaged in work consistent with their education and motivation.Nearly 75 per cent of the dropouts said there was no academic reason for their decision, but those who mentioned academic reason cited failure to pass the qualifying examination, uncompleted research and failure to pass language exams. Among the single most important personal reasons identified by dropouts for non-completion of their Ph. D. program, lack of finances was marked by 19 per cent.As an indication of how well the dropouts were doing, a chart showed 2% in humanities were receiving $ 20,000 and more annually while none of the Ph. D. ‘s with that background reached this figure. The Ph. D. ‘s shone in the $ 7,500 to $ 15,000 bracket with 78% at that level against 50% for the dropouts. This may also be an indication of the fact that top salaries in the academic fields, where Ph. D. ‘s tend to rise to the highe st salaries, are still lagging behind other fields.As to the possibility of getting dropouts back on campus, the outlook was glum. The main condition which would have to prevail for at least 25 % of the dropouts who might consider returning to graduate school would be to guarantee that they would retain their present level of income and in some cases their present job.66.The author states that many educators feel thatA. steps should be taken to get the dropouts back to campus.B. the dropouts should return to a lower quality school to continue their study.C. the Ph.D. holder is generally a better adjusted person than the dropout.D. The high dropouts rate is largely attributable to the lack of stimulation on the part of faculty members.67.Research has shown thatA. Dropouts are substantially below Ph. D. ‘s in financial attainment.B. the incentive factor is a minor one in regard to pursuing Ph. D. studies.C. The Ph.D. candidate is likely to change his field of specialization if he drops out.D. about one-third of those who start Ph. D. work do not complete the work to earn the degree.68.Meeting foreign language requirements for the Ph. D.A. is the most frequent reason for dropping out.B. is more difficult for the science candidate than for the humanities candidate.C. is an essential part of many Ph.D. programs.D. does not vary in difficulty among universities.69.After reading the article, one would refrain from concluding thatA. optimism reigns in regard to getting Ph. D. dropouts to return to their pursuit of the degree.B. a Ph. D. dropout, by and large, does not have what it takes to learn the degree.C. colleges and universities employ a substantial number of Ph.D. dropouts.D. Ph. D. ‘s are not earning what they deserve in nonacademic positions.70.It can be inferred that the high rate of dropouts lies inA. salary for Ph. D. too low.B. academic requirement too high.C. salary for dropouts too high.D. 1000 positions.Passage 3One day last September, as Britney Spears was about to board a flight to Los Angeles from London, a blue bottle fell out of her purse. She quickly put it back in, but not before the camera recorded the event. Neither Spears nor her spokesman was willing to comment on the contents of the bottle, but the next morning London’s Daily Express published a page of pictures under the headline “EXCLUSIVE: POP PRINCESS SPOTTED AT AIRPORT WITH POT OF SLIMMING TABLETS.” Spears was apparently carrying Zantrex-3, one of the most popular weight-loss pills now sold in the United States. The pill, which is sold at about fifty dollars for a month’s supply, contains a huge amount of caffeine, some green tea, and three common South American herbs that also act as stimulants (兴奋剂). It hit the U.S. market last March and has had a success that would be hard to overstate. Millions of bottles have been sold, and during the Christmas season it was displayed in the windows of the nation’s largest chain of vitamin shops, G.N.C. (It is so highly sought after that many of the stores keep it in locked counters.) Zantrex-3 is also sold at CVS, Rite Aid, Wal-Mart, and other chains, and over the telephone and on the Internet. If you type “Zantrex” into Google, more than a hundred thousand pieces of information about it will appear. At any moment, there are scores of people sell it on eBay.Perhaps the most interesting thing about the success story of Zantrex-3, however, is that it is far from unique. There are hundreds of similar products on the market today, and they are bought by millions of Americans. And though Zantrex’s producer makes some exciting statements (“the most advanced weight control compound (化合物)period”), so do the people who sell Stacker 2 and Anorex along with those who sell Carb Eliminator and Fat Eliminator. Almost all of these compounds suggest that they can help people lose weight and regain lost energy, and often without diet, exercise, or any other effort.71. Britney Spears is a / an______.A. dancerB. singerC. athleteD. chemist72. Which of the following is also a kind of weight-loss pill?A. CVSB. Rite AidC. Wal-MartD. Anorex73. The underlined part of the sentence in the first paragraph is most likely similar in meaning to______.A. it is difficult to say how successful Zantrex-3 isB. you can’t overstate the success of Zantrex-3C. you can’t think too highly of the success of Zantrex-3D. Zantrex-3 is not very successful74. From the second paragraph we know that ______ .A. Zantrex-3 is one of the successful weight-loss pills on the US marketB. Zantrex-3 is the most successful weight-loss pills on the US marketC. Zantrex-3 is the only weight-loss pill on the US marketD. there are five kinds of weight-loss pills on the US market75. The text mainly tells us ______.A. when Britney Spears was found taking weight-loss pills with herB. how Zantrex-3 became successful in the USAC. weight-loss pills are very popular in the USAD. Zantrex-3 is forbidden to be sold on the US marketPassage 4How could we possibly think that keeping animals in cages in unnatural environments－mostly for entertainment purposes－is fair and respectful?Zoo officials say they are concerned about animals. However, most zoos remain “collections” of interesting “things” rather than protective habitats (栖息地）. Zoos teach people that it is acceptable to keep animals bored, lonely, and far from their natural homes.Zoos claim (声称）to educate people and save endangered species(物种）, but visitors leave zoos without having learned anything meaningful about the animals’ natural behavior, intelligence, or beauty. Zoos keep animals in small spaces or cages, and most signs only mention the species’ name, diet, and natural range(分布区）. The animals’ normal behavior is seldom notic ed because zoos don’t usually take care of the animals’ natural needs.The animals are kept together in small spaces, with no privacy and little opportunity for mental and physical exercise. This results in unusual and self-destructive behavior called zoochosis. A worldwide study of zoos found that zoochosis is common among animals kept in small spaces or cages. Another study showed that elephants spend 22 percent of their time making repeated head movements or biting cage bars, and bears spend 30 percent of their time walking back and forth, a sign of unhappiness and pain.Furthermore, most animals in zoos are not endangered. Captive breeding(圈养繁殖）of endangered big cats, Asian elephants, and other species has not resulted n their being sent back tothe wild. Zoos talk a lot about their captive breeding programs because they do not want people to worry about a species dying out. In fact, baby animals also attract a lot of paying customers. Haven’t we seen enough competitions to name baby animals?Actually, we will save endangered species only if we save their habitats and put an end to the reasons people kill them. Instead of supporting zoos, we should support groups that work to protect animals’ natural habitats.76. How would the author describe the anim als’ life in zoos?A. Dangerous.B. Unhappy.C. Natural.D. Easy.77. In the state of zoochosis, animals _________.A. remain in cagesB. behave strangelyC. attack other animalsD. enjoy moving around78. What does the author try to argue n the passage?A. Zoos are not worth the public support.B. Zoos fail in their attempt to save animals.C. Zoos should treat animals as human beings.D. Zoos use animals as a means of entertainment.79. The author tries to persuade readers to accept his argument mainly by _____.A. pointing out the faults in what zoos doB. using evidence he has collected at zoosC. questioning the way animals are protectedD. discussing the advantages of natural habitats80. Although he argues against zoos, the author would still agree that _______.A. zoos have to keep animals in small cagesB. most animals in zoos are endangered speciesC. some endangered animals are reproduced in zoosD. it’s acceptable to keep animals away from their habitatsPart IV Translation （2×10）Directions：There are 10 sentences in this section，please translate sentences 81-85 from Chinese into English，and translate sentences 86-90 from English into Chinese.

Each passage is followed by some questions or incomplete statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. You should decide on the best choice and mark the corresponding letter on Answer Sheet .Passage 1Teenagers who drink alcohol are at higher risk of becoming victims of violence, a Cardiff University study has found.A team from the School of Dentistry’s Violence Research Group studied drinking habits in children aged 11 - 16 in England. They found not only a link between drink and violence but also that children who drank were more likely to be hit, even if they weren’t’ t violent themselves.The researchers are now calling for measures to prevent alcohol misuse to reduce injury risk. Current policy focuses on reducing aggression but this research shows that there should be equal effort to reduce victimization.More than 4,000 children were surveyed at 13 schools at four local authorities in the North, the Midlands, London, and the South. The study found that 25% of 11-year-olds were drinking monthly and 3.6% daily, with 12.8% admitting to getting drunk 3 to 5 times a year. By the age of 16, 40% were drinking weekly and 6.2% were drinking every day. The research also showed 22.6% of 16-year-olds were getting drunk more than 21 times a year.The study, which has just been published in the Journal of Adolescence, found a strong link between frequency of drinking and frequency of hitting other people.However, children who reported drinking monthly were also three times more likely to be hit. Adolescents who drank but didn’t get into fights were more likely to be hit than those who did fight.Professor Jonathan Shepherd, who led the research, said a lot of previous alcohol-related violence work had focused on the offenders rather than the victims. His team is calling for more prevention work from parents and teachers in the first two years of secondary school by taking advantage of the “teachable moment”，that is, immediately after a student has missed school because of drunkenness.Previous work by Professor Jonathan Shepherd has shown drinkers may be more at risk of violence because of reduced physical co-ordination, poor decision-making in threateningsituations and isolation while out late at night.He said, “This new study seems to be the first to show a direct link between alcohol misuse and victimization. There now needs to he much more effort put into reducing alcohol misuse in or der to reduce injury.”61. The main idea of the passage is that teenagers who drink alcohol________.A. often offend other peopleB. often become injuredC. are more likely to become victims of violenceD. are more likely to fight with others62．The underlined word “aggression” in the third paragraph probably means “________”．A. violenceB. sad feelingsC. bad mannersD. drunkenness63．The research argues that more effort should be made to________.A. reduce aggressionB. prevent fightingC. reduce victimizationD. prevent drinking alcohol64．Drinkers may be more at risk of violence because of all the following EXCEPT ________.A. reduced physical co-ordinationB. isolation while out late at nightC. a higher frequency of hitting other peopleD. poor decision-making in threatening situations65．Which of the following statements is NOT true according to Professor Shepherd’ s research?A. The frequency of children getting drunk increases with age.B. His previous alcohol-related violence work had focused on the offenders.C. Some children missed school because of drunkenness.D. This new study shows a direct link between alcohol misuse and victimization.Passage 2As prices and building costs keep rising, the do-it-yourself (DIY）trend (趋势）in the U.S. continues to grow.“We needed furniture (家具）for our living room,” says John Ross, “And we just didn't have enough money to buy it. So we decide to try making a few tables and chairs.” John gotmarried 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 Rosses 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 m yself.”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 do n't have time to take a course, there are books that tell you how you can do things yourself.66. 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 things67. John and his wife went to evening classes to learn how to _______.A. run a DIY shopB. make it repair thingsC. save time and moneyD. improve the quality of life68. When the writer says that Jim has a full-time at home, he means Jim _______.A. makes shoes in his homeB. does extra work at nightC. does his own car and home repairsD. keeps house and looks after his children69. Jim Hatfield decided to become a do-it-yourselfer when _______.A. his car repairs cost too muchB. the car repair class was not helpfulC. he could not possibly do two jobsD. he had to raise the children all by himself70. What would be the best title for the text?A. The Joy of DIY.B. You Can Do It too!C. Welcome to Our DIY course!D. Ross and Hatfield: Believe in DIY.Passage 3The world is not coming to an end on December 21, 2012, the US space agency insisted Monday in a rare campaign to dispel widespread rumors fueled by the Internet and a new Hollywood movie.The latest big screen offering from Sony Picture, 2012, arrives in theaters on Friday, with a 200 million dollar production about the end of the world supposedly based on myths (虚构的故事) backed by the Mayan calendar. It is claimed that the end of time will come as a Planet X —or Nibiru — heads toward or collides with the Earth.Some websites accuse NASA of hiding the truth on the planet’ s existence, but the US space agency denounced such stories as an “Internet hoax(恶作剧) ”. “There is no factual basis for these claims，” NASA said in a question and answer posting on its website. “If such a collision were real, astronomers would have been tracking it for at least the past decade, and it would be visible by now to the naked eye. Obviously, it does not exist. Credible scientists worldwide know of no threat associated with 2012，” it insisted. “After all, our planet has been getting along just well for more than four billion years，” added NASA.There is another planet, Eris, floating in space. But the small planet similar to Pluto will remain safely fixed in the outer solar system and it can come no closer than four billion miles to the Earth, according to NASA.Initial theories set the disaster for May 2003, but when nothing happened the date was moved forward to the winter in 2012 to coincide with the end of a cycle of the ancient Mayan calendar.NASA insisted the Mayan calendar in fact does not end on December 21, 2012, as another period begins immediately afterward.And even if the planets were to line up as some have forecast, the effect on our planet would be “negligible”，NASA said.“And while comets and asteroids (小行星) have always hit the Earth, big hits are very rare，” NASA noted. The last m ajor impact was believed to be 65 million years ago，resulting in the end of dinosaurs.“We have already determined that there are no threatening asteroids as large as the one that killed the dinosaurs，” the space agency said.71．________played a key role in the spread of the rumors.A. A new bookB. The Internet and a new Hollywood movieC. NASAD. An Indian calendar72．The film 2012 is________.A. about the end of the worldB. based on the scientific predictionC. well accepted in the science fieldD. about a romantic love story73．We can infer that________.A. people didn’t take the rumor seriouslyB.

Which of the following is the best title?A. New Hollywood movie 2012B. December 21, 2012, NOT the end of the worldC. End of the ancient Mayan calendarD. How rumors came into beingPassage 4Do you like to eat out? Do you like to eat quickly? Do you like inexpensive food? Some people go to fast-food restaurants for these reasons. In the past, people usually went to diners (路边小餐馆）for these reasons. In fact, many people in the States still go to diners today for the same reasons.A man named Walter Scott had the first “diner” in 1872. It wasn't really a diner. It was only a food cart. People on the street walked up to the cart to buy food. These carts servedlate-night workers who wanted a cup of coffee and all late-night meal. The meal was a sandwich or boiled eggs. In 1887, Samuel Jones built the first diner big enough to allow the customers to come inside. However, they did not sit down. Later, people built diners with counters and stools, and people sat down while they ate.Before long, many diners stayed open around the clock. In other words, people were able to eat in a diner at any time. Diners changed in other ways, too. The original menu of sandwiches and coffee became bigger. It included soup, favorite dish, and a breakfast menu. In addition, diners soon became permanent buildings. They were no longer carts on wheels.Diners today look similar to the diners of the early 1900s. They are usually buildings with large windows. Inside, the diners have shining counters with stools, booths, and tables and chairs. People can eat all three meals in a modern diner.Today, many people eat in fast-food restaurants such as McDonald's and Burger King. However, the diner remains an American tradition, and thousands of people still enjoy eating there. It was popular a century ago, and it is still popular today.76. A man named Walter Scott had the first “diner” in 1872. Why is diner in quotation marks(引号）？A. Because it is spelled differently from “dinner."B. Because the first diner was not a real diner.C. Because diner was a new word.D. Because it is a special kind of restaurant.77. What meals did the first diners serve?A. Only breakfast.B. Only lunch.C. Only night-meals.D. All of the above.78. According to paragraph 3, diners changed in _______.A. two waysB. three waysC. four waysD.five ways79. Which of the following is NOT true according to the passage?A. Diners existed before fast-food restaurants.B. The menu included more food than sandwiches and coffee.C. Burger King is a fast-food restaurant.D. Sandwiches became bigger.80. The main idea of the passage is _______.A. the diner is a traditional, popular place to eat in the United StatesB. Samuel Jones built the first diner big enough to allow the customers to come insideC. American diners serve many types of food 24 hours a day to their customersD. diners are different from fast-food restaurants in many waysPart IV Translation （2×10）Directions：There are 10 sentences in this section，please translate sentences 81-85 from Chinese into English，and translate sentences 86-90 from English into Chinese.

Each passage is followed by some questions or incomplete statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. You should decide on the best choice and mark the corresponding letter on Answer Sheet .Passage 1Throughout the world, boys and girls prefer to play with different types of toys. Boys typically like to play with cars and trucks, while girls typically choose to play with dolls. Why is this? A traditional sociological explanation is that boys and girls are socialized and encouraged to play with different types of toys by their parents, peers, and the “society”. Growing scientific evidence suggests, however, that boys? and girls? toy preferences may have a biological origin.In 2002, Gerianne M. Alexander of Texas A&M University and Melissa Hines of City University in London surprised the scientific world by showing that monkeys showed the same sex typical toy preferences as humans. In the study, Alexander and Hines gave two masculine toys (a ball and a police car), two feminine toys (a soft doll and a cooking pot), and two neutral toys (a picture book and a stuffed dog) to 44 male and 44 female monkeys. They then assessed the monkeys? preference for each toy by measuring how much time they spent with each. Their data showed that male monkeys showed significantly greater interest in the masculine toys, and the female monkeys showed significantly greater interest in the feminine toys. The two sexes did not differ in their preference for the neutral toys.If children? s toy preferences were largely formed by gender socialization, as traditiona l sociologists? claim, in which their parents give “gender appropriate” toys to boys and girls, how can these male and female monkeys have the same preferences as boys and girls？They were never socialized by humans, and they had never seen these toys before in their lives.61．Traditional sociologists believe boys? and girls? toy preferences ________.A. are passed down from their parentsB. have a biological originC. have nothing to do with gender socializationD. are largely formed in later life62．The study by Alexander and Hines shows that monkeys________.A. also play toys as humans doB. also have a sex typical toy preferenceC. have no toy preferencesD. like to play different toys at different time63．Alexander and Hines carried out the study to ________.A. find out why boys and girls prefer different toysB. test the intelligence of monkeysC. test whether monkeys like to play toysD. find more evidence for traditional sociology64．According to the study, if given a stuffed dog, ________.A. only the male monkeys showed interestB. the female monkeys showed more interestC. the male and female monkeys showed the same interestD. neither the male nor the female monkeys showed any interest65．Masculine toys are mainly intended for________.A. monkeysB. adultC. boysD. girlsPassage 2When Steve Maxwell graduated from college, he had an engineering degree and a high tech job —but he couldn?t balance his checkbook. “I took one finance class in college but dropped it to go on a ski trip，” sa ys the 45 year old father of three, who lives in Windsor, Colorado. “I actually had to go to my bank and ask them to teach me how to read my statement.”One of the biggest obstacles to making money is not understanding it: Thousands of us avoid investing b ecause we just don?t get it. But to make money, you must be financially literate. “It bothered me that I didn?t understand this stuff，” says Steve, “so I read books and magazines about money management and investing, and I asked every financial whiz (能⼿) I knew to explain things to me.”He and his wife started applying the lessons: They made a point to live below their means. They never bought on impulse, always negotiated better deals (on their cars，cable bills, furniture) and stayed in their home long after they went for an expensive vacation. They also put 20 percent of their annual salary into investments.Within ten years, they were millionaires, and people were coming to Steve for advice. “Someone would say, …I need to refinance my house —what should I do? …A lot of times，I wouldn?t know the answer, but I?d go to find it and learn something in the process，” he says.In 2003, Steve quit his job to become part owner of a company that holds personal finance seminars (研讨会) for employees of corporations like Wal Mart. He also started going to real estate investment seminars, and it?s paid off: He now owns $ 30 million worth of investment properties, including apartment complexes, a shopping mall and a quarry.“I was an engineer who never thought this life wa s possible, but all it truly takes is a little self education，” says Steve. “You can do anything once you understand the basics.”66. When Steve Maxwell graduated from college, he________.A. couldn?t balance his work and lifeB. made up his mind to become a millionaireC. didn?t know how to manage his moneyD. often went to banks to borrow money67. The underlined part “live below their means” (in Paragraph 3) probably means “________”．A. take effective measuresB. live a miserable lifeC. spend more money than they hadD. spend less money than they had68. Since Steve Maxwell became a millionaire, he________.A. has been unwilling to help othersB. hasn?t stopped learning from practiceC. has been willing to follow others? adviceD. has stopped to invest in houses69. What would be the best title for the passage?A. A self made engineerB. How to balance your checkbookC. Don?t avoid investingD. Educate yourself to become a millionaire70. It can be inferred from the passage that________.A. self education is very important to one?s lifeB. everyone should learn how to invest in their lifeC. Steve Maxwell was quite interested in finance classes in collegeD. Steve became rich because he saved every penny he had earnedPassage 3Lisa was running late. Lisa, 25, had a lot to do at work, plus visitors on the way: her parents were coming in for Thanksgiving from her hometown. But as she hurried down the subway stairs, she started to feel uncomfortably warm. By the time she got to the platform，Lisa felt weak and tired —maybe it hadn?t been a good idea to give blood th e night before, she thought. She rested herself against a post close to the tracks.Several yards away, Frank ,43, and his girlfriend, Jennifer，found a spot close to where the front of the train would stop. They were deep in discussion about a house they were thinking of buying.But when he heard the scream, followed by someone yelling，“Oh, my God, she fell in！”Frank didn?t hesitate. He jumped down to the tracks and ran some 40 feet toward the body lying on the rails. “No ! Not you ! ”his girlfriend screame d after him.She was right to be alarmed. By the time Frank reached Lisa，he could feel the tracks shaking and see the light coming. The train was about 20 seconds from the station.It was hard to lift her. She was just out. But he managed to raise her the four feet to the platform so that bystanders could hold her by the arms and drag her away from the edge. That was where Lisa briefly regained consciousness，felt herself being pulled along the ground，and saw someone else holding her purse.Lisa thought she?d been robbed. A woman held her hand and a man gave his shirt to help stop the blood pouring from her head. And she tried to talk but she couldn?t，and that was when she realized how much pain she was in.Police and fire officials soon arrived, and Frank told the story to an officer. Jennifer said her boyfriend was calm on their 40 minute train ride downtown—just as he had been seconds after the rescue，which made her think about her reaction at the time. “I saw the train coming and I was thinking he was going to die，” she explained.71．What was the most probable cause for Lisa?s weakness?A. She had run a long way.B. She felt hot in the subway.C. She had done a lot of work.D. She had donated blood the night before.72．Why did Jennifer try to stop her boyfriend?A. Because they would miss their train.B. Because he didn?t see the train coming.C. Because she was sure Lisa was hard to lift.D. Because she was afraid the train would kill him.73．How did Frank save Lisa?A. By lifting her to the platform.B. By helping her rise to her feet.C. By pulling her along the ground.D. By dragging her away from the edge.74．When did Lisa become conscious again?A. When the train was leaving.B. After she was back on the platform.C. After the police and fire officials came.D. When a man was cleaning the blood from her head.75. The passage is intended to________.A. warn us of the danger in the subwayB. show us how to save people in the subwayC. tell us about a subway rescueD. report a traffic accidentPassage 4“In only six days I lost seven pounds of weight.”“Two full inches in the first three days ！”These are the kinds of statements used in magazine, newspaper，radio and television ads,promising new shapes and new looks to those who buy the medicine or the device. The promoters of such products say they can shape the legs, slim the face, smooth wrinkles，or in some other way add to beauty or desirability.Often such products are nothing more than money-making things for their promoters. The results they produce arequestionable, and some are dangerous to health.To understand how these products can be legally promoted to the public，it is necessary to understand something of the laws covering their regulation. If the product is a drug, FDA ( Food and Drug Administration) can require proof(证明) under the Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act that it is safe and effective before it is put on the market. But if the product is adevice，FDA has no authority to require pre-marketing proof of safety or effectiveness. If a product already on the market is a danger to health, FDA can request the producer or distributor to remove it from the market voluntarily, or it can take legal action, including seizure (查封) of the product.One notable case a few years ago involved an electrical device called the Relaxacisor, which had been sold for reducing the waistline. The Relaxacisor produced electrical shocks to the body through contact pads. FDA took legal action against the distributor to stop the sale of the devices on the grounds that it was dangerous to health and life.Obviously, most of the devices on the market have never been the subject of court proceedings(法律诉讼), and new devices appear continually. Before buying, it is up to judge the consumer to judge the safety or effectiveness of such items.76. It can be inferred that the ads mentioned in the text are________.A. objectiveB. costlyC. unreliableD. illegal77. Which of the following is true according to the text?A．The court is in charge of removing dangerous products.B. New products are more likely to be questionable.C. The production of a device must be approved by FDA.D. The promoters usually just care about profits.78. FDA can ask for the proof of safety and effectiveness of a product________.A. if it is a drugB. if it is a deviceC. if its consumers make complaintsD. if its distributors challenge FDA?s authority79. The Relaxacisor is mentioned as________.A. a product which was designed to produce electricityB. a product whose distributor was involved in a legal caseC. a successful advertisement of a beauty productD. an example of a quality beauty product80. The author intends to ________.A. make consumers aware of the promoters? false promisesB. show the weakness of the law on product safetyC. give advice on how to keep young and beautifulD. introduce the organization of FDAPart IV Translation (2×10)英译汉81．A person who knows a local sports hero personally, or who attends events where famous athletes are present, is considered by some people to have accomplished something worthwhile.82．Expressions from sports are extraordinarily common in everyday American speech.83．Pubic schools are free to all boys and girls, but some parents prefer to send their children to private schools.84．I am glad to see that the changes of another year have permitted you to move in health through this beautiful world. 85．The good news is that some of the fastest growing service jobs are the better paying ones，particularly in the technical and professional fields.汉译英86.他刚刚吃完⼀顿⼤餐，撑得⼏乎⽆法呼吸。

The light 45 a pale face with a little white scar (疤) near his right eye. ―Twenty years ago tonight, when I said goodbye toJimmy Wells, my best friend to 46 for the West to make my fortune, we 47 we would meet here again exactly twenty years 48 that date and time.‖ ―I hope your friend will come around soon.‖ said the policeman, 49.Twenty minutes later, a(n) tall man hurried across the street. He went directly to the waiting man. ―Is that you, Bob?‖ he asked. ―Jimmy Wells?‖ 50 the man with excitement. ―You hav e 51 , Jimmy. I never thought you were so tall.‖When they both looked at each other 52 , the man said suddenly ―You’re not Jimmy Wells. Twenty years is a long time, 53 not long enough to change a man’s 54 .‖ ―It sometimes changes a good man into a 55 one,‖ said the tall man. ―You are under 56 now. Well, here is a note from your friend.‖ His hand was steady when he began to read, but it 57 a little by the time he had finished. It reads: ―Bob: I was at the appointed place 58 .

SomehowPart III Reading Comprehension (2x20)Directions: There are 4 passages in this section. Each passage is followed by some questions or incomplete statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. You should decide on the best choice and mark the corresponding letter on Answer Sheet .Passage 1In the 1960s, medical researchers Thomas Holmes and Richard Rahe developed a check list of stressful events. They appreciated the tricky point that any major change can be stressful. Negative events like ―serious illness of a family member‖ were high on the list, but so were some positive life-changing events, like marriage. When you take the Holmes-Rahe test you must remember that the score does not reflect how you deal with stress—it only shows how much you have to deal with. And we now know that the way you handle these events dramatically affects your chances of staying healthy.By the early 1970s, hundreds of similar studies had followed Holmes and Rahe. And millions of Americans who work and live under stress worried over the reports. Somehow, the research got boiled down to a memorable message. Women’s magazines ran headlines like ―Stress causes illness!‖ If you want to stayphysically and mentally healthy, the articles said, avoid stressful events.But such simplistic advice is impossible to follow. Even if stressful events are dangerous, many—like the death of a loved one—are impossible to avoid. Moreover, any warning to avoid all stressful events is a prescription (处方) for staying away from opportunities as well as trouble. Since any change can be stressful, a person who wanted to be completely free of stress would never marry, have a child, take a new job or move.The notion that all stress makes you sick also ignores a lot of what we know about people. It assumes we’re all vulnerable (脆弱的) and passive in the face of adversity (逆境). But what about human initiative and creativity? Many come through periods of stress with more physical and mental vigor than they had before. We also know that a long time without change or challenge can lead to boredom, and physical and metal strain.61. The result of Holmes-Rahe’s medical research tells us ________.A) the way you handle major events may cause stressB) what should be done to avoid stressC) what kind of event would cause stressD) how to cope with sudden changes in life62. The studies on stress in the early 1970’s led to ________.A) widespread concern over its harmful effectsB) great panic over the mental disorder it could causeC) an intensive research into stress-related illnessesD) popular avoidance of stressful jobs63. The score of the Holmes-Rahe test shows ________.A) how much pressure you are underB) how positive events can change your lifeC) how stressful a major event can beD) how you can deal with life-changing events64. Why is ―such simplistic advice‖ (Line 1, Para. 3) i mpossible to follow?A) No one can stay on the same job for long.B) No prescription is effective in relieving stress.C) People have to get married someday.D) You could be missing opportunities as well.65. According to the passage people who have experienced ups and downs may become ________.A) nervous when faced with difficultiesB) physically and mentally strainedC) more capable of coping with adversityD) indifferent toward what happens to themPassage2Most episodes of absent-mindedness—forgetting where you left something or wondering why you just entered a room—are caused by a si mple lack of attention, says Schacter. ―You’re supposed to remember something, but you haven’t encoded it deeply.‖Encoding, Schacter explains, is a special way of paying attention to an event that has a major impact on recalling it later. Failure to encode properly can create annoying situations. If you put your mobile phone in a pocket, for example, and don’t pay attention to what you did because you’re involved in a conversation, you’ll probably forget that the phone is in the jacket now hanging in you wardrobe (衣柜). ―Your memory itself isn’t failing you,‖ says Schacter. ―Rather, you didn’t give your memory system the information it needed.‖Lack of interest can also lead to absent-mindedness. ―A manwho can recite sports statistics from 30 years ago,‖ sa ys Zelinski, ―may not remember to drop a letter in the mailbox.‖ Women have slightly better memories than men, possibly because they pay more attention to their environment, and memory relies on just that.Visual cues can help prevent absent-mindedness, says Schacter. ―But be sure the cue is clear and available,‖ he cautions. If you want to re member to take a medication (药物) with lunch, put the pill bottle on the kitchen table—don’t leave it in the medicine chest and write yourself a note that you keep in a pocket.Another common episode of absent-mindedness: walking into a room and wondering w hy you’re there. Most likely, you were thinking about something else. ―Everyone does this from time to time,‖ says Zelinski. The best thing to do is to return to whe re you were before entering the room, and you’ll likely remember.66. Why does the author think that encoding properly is very important?A) It helps us understand our memory system better.B) It enables us to recall something form our memory.C) It expands our memory capacity considerably.D) It slows down the process of losing our memory.67. One possible reason why women have better memories than men is that ________.A) they have a wider range of interestsB) they are more reliant on the environmentC) they have an unusual power of focusing their attentionD) they are more interested in what’s happening around them68. A note in the pocket can hardly serve as a reminder because ________.A) it will easily get lostB) it’s not clear enough for you to readC) it’s out of your sightD) it might get mixed up with other things69. What do we learn from the last paragraph?A) If we focus our attention on one thing, we might forget another.B) Memory depends to a certain extent on the environment.C) Repetition helps improve our memory.D) If we keep forgetting things, we’d better return to where we were.70. What is the passage mainly about?A) The process of gradual memory loss.B) The causes of absent-mindedness.C) The impact of the environment on memory.D) A way if encoding and recalling.Passage 3After the violent earthquake that shook Los Angeles in 1994, earthquake scientists had good news to report: The damage and death toll (死亡人数) could have been much worse.More than 60 people died in this earthquake. By comparison, as earthquake of similar intensity that shook America in 1988 claimed 25,000 victims.Injuries and deaths were relatively less in Los Angeles because the quake occurred at 4:31 a.m. on a holiday, when traffic was light on the city’s highway s. In addition, changes made to the construction codes in Los Angeles during the last 20 years have strengthened the city’s buildings and highways,making them more resistant to quakes.Despite the good news, civil engineers aren’t resting on their successes. Pinned to their drawing boards are blueprints (蓝图) for improved quake-resistant buildings. The new designs should offer even greater security to cities where earthquakes often take place.In the past, making structures quake-resistant meant firm yet flexible materials, such as steel and wood, that bend without breaking. Later, people tried to lift a building off its foundation, and insert rubber and steel between the building and its foundation to reduce the impact of ground vibrations. The most recent designs give buildings brains as well as concrete and steel supports. Called smart buildings, the structures respond like living organisms to an earthquake’s vibrations. When the ground shakes and the building tips forward, the computer would force the building to shift in the opposite direction.The new smart structures could be very expensive to build. However, they would save many lives and would be less likely to be damaged during earthquakes.71. One reason why the loss of lives in the Los Angeles earthquake was comparatively low is that ________.A) new computers had been installed in the buildingsB) it occurred in the residential areas rather than on the highwaysC) large numbers of Los Angeles residents had gone for a holidayD) improvements had been made in the construction of buildings and highways72. The function of the computer mentioned in the passage is to ________.A) counterbalance an earthquake’s action on the buildingB) predict the coming of an earthquake with accuracyC) help strengthen the foundation of the buildingD) measure the impact of an earthquake’s vibrations73. The smart buildings discussed in the passage ________.A) would cause serious financial problemsB) would be worthwhile though costlyC) would increase the complexity of architectural designD) can reduce the ground vibrations caused by earthquakes74. It can be inferred from the passage that in minimizing the damage caused by earthquakes attention should be focused on ________.A) the increasing use of rubber and steel in capital constructionB) the development of flexible building materialsC) the reduction of the impact of ground vibrationsD) early forecasts of earthquakes75. The author’s main purp ose in writing the passage is to ________.A) compare the consequences of the earthquakes that occurred in the U.S.B) encourage civil engineers to make more extensive use of computersC) outline the history of the development of quake-resistant building materialsD) report new developments in constructing quake-resistant buildingsPassage 4The fitness movement that began in the late 1960s and early 1970s centered around aerobic exercise (有氧操). Millions ofindividuals became engaged in a variety of aerobic activities, and literally thousands of health spas developed around the country to capitalize (获利) on this emerging interest in fitness, particularly aerobic dancing for females. A number of fitness spas existed prior to this aerobic fitness movement, even a national chain with spas in most major cities. However, their focus was not on aerobics, but rather on weight-training programs designed to develop muscular mass, strength, and endurance in their primarily male enthusiasts. These fitness spas did not seem to benefit financially form the aerobic fitness movement to better health, since medical opinion suggested that weight-training programs offered few, if any, health benefits. In recent years, however, weight training has again become increasingly popular for males and for females. Many current programs focus not only on developing muscular strength and endurance but on aerobic fitness as well.Historically, most physical-fitness tests have usually included measures of muscular strength and endurance, not for health-related reasons, but primarily because such fitness components havebeen related to performance in athletics. However, in recent years, evidence has shown that training programs designed primarily to improve muscular strength and endurance might also offer some health benefits as well. The American College of Sports Medicine now recommends that weight training be part of a total fitness program for healthy Americans. Increased participation in such training is one of the specific physical activity and fitness objectives of Healthy People 2000: National Health Promotion and Disease Prevention Objectives.76. The word ―spas‖ (Line 3, Para. 1) most probably refers to________.A) sports activitiesB) places for physical exerciseC) recreation centersD) athletic training programs77. Early fitness spas were intended mainly for ________.A) the promotion of aerobic exerciseB) endurance and muscular developmentC) the improvement of women’s figuresD) better performance in aerobic dancing（B）78. What was the attitude of doctors towards weight training in health improvement?A) Positive.B) Indifferent.C) Negative.D) Cautious.79. People were given physical fitness tests in order to find out ________.A) how well they could do in athleticsB) what their health condition was likeC) what kind of fitness center was suitable for themD) whether they were fit for aerobic exercise（A）80. Recent studies have suggested that weight training ________.A) has become an essential part of people’s lifeB) may well affect the health of the traineesC) will attract more people in the days to comeD) contributes to health improvement as wellPart IV Translation (2×10)汉译英81、在夏季最好穿丝绸衣服。

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

year ago to find a village in which I could live and write but it was many months before I settled down happily in this Himalayan community．I wasted a lot of time looking for the typical village．Yet no such thing exists．Conditions vary too widely．But the villages I stayed in had much in common poverty,ignorance．Often the villagers themselves were puzzled suspicious．Why had I come I had put aside my work as a political journalist because my ideas hadchanged．I had come to believe that what was happening in the Third World was more important than anything else．But to understand how three quarters of the world’s people live，and how their future might affect ours．I felt that I first had to try and share their way of life．In the end I chose a mountain village because it was a little cooler than those in the plains．I took the bus from town along a bumpy(崎岖不平的)road，then came a rough walk down a steep path to the river．After this I began the climb into the hills.Whenever I stopped to catch my breath，there was a magnificent view．After several hours’walk the village came into view．31．After the writer had arrived in IndiaA.he spent a year writing about the place he lived inB.he

floor and were covered by layers of mud，silt(淤泥)，and the layers of mud，silt，and sand were compressed into solid rock．As millions of years passed，these rock layers bucked shifted．and accumulationof gas and oil were displaced and became trapped beneath masses of nonporous rock．Primitive man discovered natural gas quite by accident．The temple fires of Baku on the Caspian Sea(里海)were fired by natural gas seeping(渗漏)from rock fissures(裂缝)，and worshipers(礼拜者，崇拜者)of hire journeyed to Baku from ad afar away as India．The mysterious“burning springs”in North America and elsewhere were also evidence of escaping gas，probably ignited by lighting．The first industrial application of natural gas was made by the Chinese．Gas transported by bamboo pipes was burned to evaporate brine and produce salt．Today

on the following passage:Experiments have been carried out on volunteers to see what happens when all sensations are stopped.This can be done in several ways.One method is to put a man inside a completely isolated room.This room is heavily sound-proofed and absolutely dark.There is no light or sound and the person is instructed just to lie motionless on a bed.People have stayed in rooms such as this for as long as four days.The results of sensory deprivation(SD)vary with the individual.Soon after entering the confinement cell most subjects went to sleep and slept almost without interruption for ten to twenty-four hours.These are gross estimates for there was nothing by which the subjects could determine the time which had elapsed.We know for certain that onesubject slept for nineteen hours but insisted that he had had a nap of less than one hour.According to the monitoring microphone,which was capable of picking up the deep breathing of sleep,it seems more likely that most subjects slept all of the first twenty-four hours.We felt that so much sleeping in the first day wasted the effects of confinement,so we started placing subjects in SD early in the morning.We reasoned that after a night's sleep our confined subject would be unable to dissipate the effects of SD by sleeping.Such was not the case. As far as we could determine they went to sleep just as quickly and slept just as long as the previous subjects.We then started entering the subjects at midmorning,midday,and midafternoon. As it turned out,it made no difference when during the day and,presumably,during the night we started the confinement;the initial sleep period was always about the same.We had not expected this extended period of initial sleep.In fact,it had seemed reasonable to expect something of the opposite.SD was a very novel situation for our subjects,and as such, we reasoned,it should have occupied them for some time.I had a similar expectation for astronauts during space flight and was greatly surprised to learn that the Russian astronaut Yuri Gagarin had been able to sleep during his space flight around the earth.Other effects were also noted.With no real sensations to work on,the brain makes up all sorts of false information.Many people experience vivid dreams and hallucinations.When they are finally taken out of the room into the real changing world of light and sound,they are in a very strange state of mind,ready to believe anything and not nearly able to make decisions.41.This passage is mainly aboutA.how to have a sound sleepB.what causes loss of sensationsC.what will happen if sensations were lostD.how to lose sensations42.What does"subjects"(Para.3,Line2,)mean in this passage?A.Any member of a state except the supreme ruler.B.Something to be talked or written about or studied.C.Person,animal or thing to be treated or dealt with.D.Theme on which a composition is based.43.Which of the following statements is true according to the passage?A.All the people react in the same way to sensory deprivation.B.The researchers expected the subjects to sleep for a long time.C.The first reaction to sensory deprivation is to dream.D.Total sensory deprivation means that the brain has no real information to work on.44.We can probably infer from the passage thatA.most astronauts are unable to fall asleep in spaceB.a period of sensory deprivation would make a person hard to controlC.many people are subject to fantasy while in the sensory deprivation cellD.microphones are used to control the breathing of subjects45.All of the following are the results of sensory deprivation except thatA.most subjects fell asleep and slept for a long timeB.some subjects didn't know how many hours they spent sleepingC.it took a long time for the subjects to adapt themselves to sensory deprivationD.many subjects became credulous right after sensory deprivationQuestions46to50are based on the following passage:John had bought a packet of cigarettes just before we caught the train and he offered me one as we settled ourselves in our compartment.We were on our way back from a camping holiday；we had lived rough for over a fortnight and even a cigarette was a luxury at that moment.I felt in my pocket for a box of matches,but could not find any.“I haven’t got any either,”said John.Sitting opposite to us was a man whose face was hidden by a newspaper.“Excuse me,sir,”said John,leaning across.“Could you give me a light,please?”The newspaper was lowered to reveal a rather elderly man with a stern face.“This is a no smoking compartment,”the man said.He indicated the notice near the window. We apologized and put away our unlit cigarettes.The man went on,in a rather more kindly way,to warn us against the dangers of smoking.“I speak as a doctor,”he concluded,and after that he went back to reading his newspaper.When he got out a few stations later,he left his newspaper behind him.We picked it up, eager to find out what had happened while we were on holiday.“Just look at this,”remarked John,pointing to a photograph.“it’s the man who was sitting opposite us.”Underneath the photograph was an account of a lunatic(精神病者)who had recently escaped.It appeared that he liked to pretend to be a doctor.46.The friends had spent their holiday______.A.on a boatB.in a tentC.on a farmD.with an aunt47.Their holiday had lasted______.A.more than two weeksB.just two weeksC.less than two weeksD.a week or two48.The man______.A.threw his newspaper awayB.offered them his newspaperC.dropped his newspaperD.did not take his newspaper with him49.The two friends read the newspaper______.A.in a hurryB.with great interestC.to pass the timeD.to look at the pictures50.The man’s photograph was in the newspaper because he was______.A.a doctorB.a spacemanC.a madmanD.an actorPart IV English-Chinese Translation(10points,20minutes)Directions:Read the following passage carefully and then translate the underlined sentences into Chinese.51.The europeans,to them,are those rather excitable foreigners from the other side of the English Channel,who have never learnt how to speak English.在他们看来，欧洲人就是英吉利海峡那边那些动不动就爱激动而不会讲英语的人。

Pony-trekking, climbing and fishing are also 47 , along with Scotland's national game, golf. 48 enthusiasts are well rewarded—this is the homeof the red deer, red squirrel and golden eagle. If you don't like the 49 to the highest point, some 2000 metres 50 sea level, you can take the railway 51 gets you to the summit in less than ten minutes. 52 the west of the park is another popular natural 53 , Loch Ness. The lake is over 200 metres 54 in places, and salmon, trout and eels are in abundance here.Over the border in England is the Lake District, 55 made famous by Romantic poets such as William Wordsworth two hundred years ago.

As a psychologist for more than twenty years I can tell you that I have never had an adult looking back at her childhood and complaining that her parents were too understanding. And similarly, I have met many divorced people who still love each other but yet they never really understood each other.The painful reality is that love is just not enough. I'll admit that there are people who I love and who I still need to better understand. I hope I'll continue my work to understand them. The willingness to understand is very important. It is not always easy, but healthy love is strengthened by the willingness to understand. Love without understanding will wilt like flowers without water.Our egos are what seem to get in the way of understanding those who we love and care about. Often it is our need to be right that makes what others think and feel so wrong for us.I have certainly been quite guilty of this in some of my relationships.As I have written repeatedly in my books, empathy, is truly the emotional glue that holds all close relationships together. Empathy allows us to slow down and try to walk in the shoes of those we love. The deeper our empathy, the deeper—and healthier—our love. Not all relationships are meant to be. Yet all relationships that are meant to flourish in a healthy way, must stress understanding just as much, if not more, as love.61. From the passage we know that .A、the author complains about her parents' being too understandingB、the author has been studying marriages for more than 20 yearsC、people divorced mainly because they didn't love each otherD、some people divorced because they couldn't understand each other62. Why are we unable to understand the others sometimes?A、Because we care about the others too much.B、Because it is quite difficult to understand the others.C、Because we believe we are always right.D、Because the others have done something wrong.63. Which of the following statements is true according to the passage?A、Understanding is more important to parenting relationship than to other intimate relationships.B、Understanding is less important than love as far as marriage is concerned.C、Understanding is more important than love to some degree.D、Understanding is more often neglected in parenting relationship.64. If we are to understand our partners, we should firstly .A、have willingness to do soB、have love for themC、get into connection with themD、care about them65. In this passage, the expression “walk in the shoes of” is similar in meaning to .A、befriendB、understandC、loveD、care aboutPassage TwoFinally, the Christmas season is over. We can take a long breath, put up our feet, sip from a cup of good tea and relax. The frenzy, starting from Black Friday right after Thanksgiving until Christmas Ev e, of gift shopping, buying, wrapping, giving, receiving, opening, returning…is exhaustive and time-consuming, but it takes place every year.There is considerable difference between the cultures in China and western countries when it comes to gift giving. In China, it is not polite to open a gift in front of the gift giver, and the gift is only looked at after the guest has left. Here in America, gift givers always wrap their gifts, large or small, priceless or valueless, carefully decorate them with colorful ribbons and little pretty paper flowers; and the lucky receiver is expected to open the gift right away in front of the giver, with great eagerness and curiosity, and should always express appreciation with the all time truthful comment, “This is just exactly what I wanted!” Well, as a matter of fact, most people would take their “always wanted” gifts back to the store to exchange forsomething they really wanted.Finding a gift for somebody, even a close family member, you'll have to know what the person likes and shop for days before you can locate the perfect gift. But, still the person may not like the gift from you. Nowadays, stores would provide two copies of the receipts for anything they sell as a gift, one of which is included in the gift package so that the receiver can come back for an exchange. I know, it was unthinkable to cash out the gift you get, but, times are different. Another good way to avoid all that shopping hassle is to purchase a gift card from one of the stores and send it to your niece, nephews, or a family member, so that they can get whatever they want or even keep the money.66. Finding a gift for somebody is a(n) .A、easy jobB、tough taskC、must-be jobD、arranged task67. It is quite for Chinese people to open the gift in front of the givers.A、usualB、normalC、abnormalD、unusual68. Gift giving is the same thing in China and America in that .A、people spend a lot of time preparing a giftB、people would cash out the gift immediatelyC、people are eager to get a gift from a friendD、people are less willing to give gifts69. Which of the following is the author's suggestion?A、Open the gift immediately in front of the giver.B、Wrap the gift carefully.C、Express the appreciation for the gift you receive.D、Buying a present card to avoid the trouble in shopping70. The author's attitude towards gift giving is .A、indifferentB、protestingC、objectiveD、supportivePassage ThreeThey already guide blind and disabled people; now dogs are to be trained to help people with dementia(痴呆). The duties of these “guide dogs for the mind” will include reminding their owners to take medication, as well as encouraging them to eat, drink and sleep at regular intervals.The dementia dogs will be trained to respond to sound triggers in the home that prompt them to perform tasks. These could include delivering a bite-proof bag of medicine with a note inside reminding the patient to take it, or waking them up in the morning.The idea was developed by design students at the Glasgow School of Art and will now be put into practice by Alzheimer's Scotland and Dogs for the disabled.Joyce Gray of Alzheimer's Scotland said, “People in the early stages of dementia are still able to live a relatively nor mal life, and dogs help to maintain routine.”The other advantage of using the pets as companions is that conversation can be increasingly confusing for people with Alzheimer's, but dogs can give them a sense of silent support and companionship. People light up when they see animals. They don't need to communicate verbally but they can still interact. You can have a speechless bond.The dog would also encourage the owner to take them out for walks, ensuring they keep exercising and interacting with other people.71. As is mentioned in the passage, the guide dogs will do the following except for .A、helping ensure the owner doing some exercisesB、reminding the owner to take medicineC、communicating with the owner in a non-verbal wayD、helping the owner recover from the illness72. Who will train the dogs to perform such tasks?A、The students who developed the idea.B、The owners of the dogs.C、The experts in Alzheimer's Scotland.D、It is not mentioned in the passage.73. What is true about the people suffering from dementia?A、They would like to stay with other people.B、They can maintain routine.C、They will gradually lose the ability to live a normal life.D、They would like to talk in a different way.74. The guide dogs helping the people with dementia will .A、respond to the owners' orderB、respond to a sound deviceC、act on the owners' instructionsD、act on the trainers' order75. Having a conversation with people with dementia will be .A、difficultB、interestingC、confusingD、encouragingPassage FourIt seems obvious that you don't give away your product for free but this is exactly what indie rock group The Crimea did earlier this year. The band's reasoning goes like this: more people will download the free album than would pay for it. Therefore more people will hear The Crimea's music. These people will then pay money for concerts by the band and perhaps buy a T-shirt or other merchandise. If the band play regular concerts to crowds of 200 or 300 people they can make more money than they would from sales of a CD. There will always be some people who want something they can hold in their hands so they will release the CD into the shops too—but making money through sales of their music isn't the top priority. The story illustrates the creative thinking going on in the music business in response to dramatic changes over the last few years in the way that people buy music. Sales of musicdigitally—to computer, phones and MP3 players rose to＄2 billion in 2006—an increase of almost 100 percent on the previous year—yet overall record company sales are down. People are simply not buying CDs in record shops in anything like the numbers they used to.This trend looks set to continue, so the big question for the music industry is whether they can successfully manage the move to being primarily a digital industry without profits falling to unacceptable levels.There are both positive and negative signs. On the plus side, more and more people are buying music on mobile phones, which allows people to make impulse purchases—they can buy a song as soon as they hear it. Research by the UK mobile operator 3 suggested that 75 percent of 16 to 24-year-olds wanted to buy a track they liked as soon as they heard it. With so much competition for people's disposable income, a product that you can sell immediately is a big advantage.The bad news for record companies, however, is the amount of music that is downloaded illegally. Piracy—usually in the form of cheaply copied CD—has long been an issue for the music business but the Internet means music can be copied and distributed freely through file-sharing sites on a larger scale than ever before.It is this situation that leads bands to start giving away their music for free and promises to make the next few years a very interesting time in the music business.76. What is unusual about the Crimea's business plan?A、Their business was given away free on the Internet.B、They gave CDs away free in shops.C、They played free concerts.D、They charged more for their CDs.77. The Crimea hope to make money .A、through CD salesB、by giving concerts and selling T-shirts and other merchandiseC、by selling merchandise on the InternetD、through sales of merchandise in shops78.

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

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

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

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

As a psychologist for more than twenty years I can tell you thatI have never had an adult looking back at her childhood and complaining thather parents were too understanding. And similarly, I have met many divorcedpeople who still love each other but yet they never really understood eachother.The painful reality is love is just notenough. I’ll admit that there are people who I love and who I still need tobetter understand. I hope I’ll continue my work to understand them. The Lastwillingness to understand is very important. It is not always easy, but healthylove is strengthened by the willingness to understand. Love withoutunderstanding will wilt like flowers without water.Our egos are what seem to get in the way ofunderstanding those who we love and care about.Often it is our need to beright that makes what others think and feel so wrong for us. I have certainlybeen quite guilty of this in some of my relationships. As I have written repeatedly in my books,empathy, is truly the emotional glue that holds all close relationshipstogether. Empathy allows us to slow down and try to walk in the shoes of thosewe love. The deeper our empathy, the deeper---and healthier--- our love. Notall relationships are meant to be. Yet all relationships that are meant toflourish in a healthy way, must stress understanding just as much, if not more,than love.61. From the passage we know that_____.A. the author complains abouther parents’ being too understandingB. the author has been studying marriages for more than 20 yearsC. People divorced mainly because theydidn’t love each otherD. Some people divorced because theycouldn’t understand each other62. Whyare we unable to understand the others sometimes?A. Because we are caring the others toomuchB. Because it is quite difficultto understand the othersC. Because webelieve we are always rightD. Becausethe others have done something wrong63. Which of the following statements is true according to thepassage?A. Understanding is moreimportant to parenting relationship than to other intimate relationshipsB. Understanding is less important thanlove as far as marriage is concernedC. Understanding is more important than love to some degreeD. Understanding is more often neglected inparenting relationship64. If we are to understand our partners,we should firstly ____?A. Havewilling to do soB. Have love for themC. Get into connection with themD. Care about them65. In this passage, the expression “walkin the shoes of” is similar in meaning to_____.A. befriendB. understandC. loveD. careaboutPassage TwoFinally, the Christmas season is over. Wecan take a long breath, put up our feet, sip from a cup of good tea and relax.The frenzy, starting from Black Friday right after Thanksgiving until ChristmasEve, of gift shopping, buying, wrapping, giving, receiving, opening,returning...is exhaustive and time-consuming, but it takes place everyyear.There is considerable differencebetween the cultures in China and western countries when it comes to giftgiving, In China, it is not polite to open a gift in front of the gift giver,and gift is only looked at after the guest has left. Here in America, giftgivers always wrap their gifts, large or small,priceless or valueless, carefully and decorate them with colorful ribbons andlittle pretty paper flowers; and the lucky receiver is expected to open thegift right away in front of the giver, with great eagerness and curiosity, andshould always express appreciation with the all time truthful comment, “alwayswanted” gifts back to the store to exchange for something they really wanted.Finding a gift for somebody, even a closefamily member, you’ll have to know what the person likes and shop for daysbefore you can locate the perfect gift. But, still the person may not like thegift from you. Nowadays, stores would provide two copies of the receipts foranything they sell as a gift, one of which is included in the gift packaged sothat the receiver can come back for an exchange. I know, it was unthinkable tocash out gift you get, but, times are different. Another good way to avoid allthat shopping hassle is to purchase a gift card from one of the stores and sendit to your niece, nephews, or a family member, so that they can get whateverthey want or even keep the money.66.Finding a gift for somebody is a(n)_____.A. easy jobB. tough taskC. must-be jobD. arranged task67.It is quite ____for Chinese people to open the gift in front of thegivers.A. usualB. normalC. abnormalD. unusual68.

Which of the following is the author’s suggestion?A. Open the gift immediately in front ofthe giverB. Wrap the giftcarefullyC. Express the appreciationfor the gift you receiveD. Buying apresent card to avoid the trouble in shopping70.The author’s attitude towards gift giving is_____.A.IndifferentB. protestingC. objectiveD. supportivePassage ThreeThey already guide blind and disabledpeople; now dogs are to be trained to help people with dementia（痴呆）.Theduties of these “guide dogs for the mind”will includereminding their owners to take medication, as well as encouraging them to eat,drink and sleep at regular intervals. The dementia dogs will be trained to respond to sound triggers in thehome that prompt them to perform tasks. These could include delivering abite-proof bag of medicine with a note inside reminding the patient to take it,or walking them up in the morning.The idea was developed by design studentsat the Glasgow School of Art and will now be put into practice by Alzheimer’sScotland and Dogs for the disabled.Joyce Gray of Alzheimer’s Scotland said: “people in the early stages ofdementia are still able to live a relative normal life, and dogs help tomaintain routine.”The other advantageof using the pets as companions is that conversation can be increasinglyconfusing for people with Alzheimer’s ,but dogs can give them a sense of silentsupport and companionship. People light up when they see animals. They don’tneed to communicate verbally but they can still interact. You can have aspeechless bond.The dog would alsoencourage the owner to take them out for walks, ensuring they keep exercisingand interacting with other people.71.As is mentioned in the passage, the guide dogs will do the following except for_______.A. helping ensure the ownerdoing some exercisesB. reminding the owner to takemedicineC. Communicating with theowner in a non-verbal wayD. Helpingthe owner recover from the illness72.Who will train the dogs to perform such tasks?A. The students who developed the idea.B.The owners of the dogs.C. The expertsin Alzheimer’s Scotland.D. It is not mentioned in the passage.73. What is true about the people sufferingfrom dementia?A. They would like tosay with other people.B. They canmaintain routine.C. They willgradually lose the ability to live a normal life.D. They would like to talk in a differentway.74. The guide dogs helping thepeople with dementia will _______.A. respond to the owners orderB. respond to a sound deviceC. act on the owners instructionsD. act on the trainers order75. Having a conversation with people withdementia will be _______.A. difficultB. interestingC. confusingD. encouragingPassage FourIt seems obviousthat you don’t give away your product for free but this is exactly what indierock group the Crimea did earlier this year. The Crimea did earlier this year.The band’s reasoning goes like this: more people will download the free albumthan would pay for it. Therefore more people will hear The Crimea’s music.These people will then pay money for concerts by the band and perhaps buy aT-shirt or other merchandise. If the band play regular concerts to crowds of200 or 300 people the can make more money than they would from sales of a CD.There will always be some [people who want something they can hold in theirhands so they will release the CD into the shops too-- but making money throughsales of their music isn’t the top priority.The story illustrates the creative thinking going on in the musicbusiness in response to dramatic changes over the last few years in the waythat people buy music. Sales of music digitally --to computer, phones and MP3players rose to $2 billion in 2006 -- an increase of almost 100 percenton theprevious year -- yet overall record company sales are down. People are simplynot buy CDs in record shops in anything like the numbers the\y used to.This trend looks set to continue so the bigquestion for the music industry is whether they can successfully manage themove to being primarily a digital industry without profits falling tounacceptable levels.There are both positiveand negative signs. On the plus side, more and more people are buying music onmobile phones, which allows people to make impulse purchases -- they can buy asong as soon as they hear it. Research by the UK Mobile operator 3 suggestedthat 75 percent of 16 to 24-year-olds wanted to buy a track they liked as soonas they heard it. With so much competition for people’s disposable income, aproduct that you can sell immediately is a big advantage. The bad news for record companies, however,is the mount of music that is downloaded illegally. Piracy --- usually in theform of cheaply copied CD ---has long been an issue for the music business butthe internet means music can be copied and distributed freely throughfile-sharing sites on a large scale than ever before.It is this situation that leads bands tostart giving away their music for free and promises to make the next few yearsa very interesting time in the music business.76. What is unusual about the Crimea’sbusiness plan?A. Their business wasgiven away free on the Internet.B.They give CDs away free in shops.C.They played free concerts.D. Theycharged more for their CDs.77. TheCrimea hope to make money _______.A. through CD salesB. by giving concerts and selling T-shirtsand other merchandiseC. by sellingmerchandise on the internetD. thoughsales of merchandise in shops78. TheCrimea also released CDs for sale in shops because _______.A. People who attend their concerts needthemB. they want to make extramoneyC. there are still people whoprefer CDs to other formatsD. Peoplewho fail to attend their concerts need them79. What is true about sales of music over the last year?A. overall, sales are up on last year.B. .overall, sales are down on last year.C.there is no change compared to previous sales.D. It is not mentioned in the passage.80. What effect has the internet had onmusic piracy?A. It has made it easierto fight piracy.B. It has increasedthe number of pirate CDs available.C.It has made it easier to illegally copy music.D. It has reduced the number of pirate CDsavailable.Part IV Translation81. 她喜欢看书时听音乐。

Sales of music digitally ---to computer, phone and MP3 players rose to $2 billion in 2006---an increase of almost 100 percent on the previous year---yet overall record company sales are down. People are simply not buying CDs in record shops in anything like the numbers they used to.This trend looks set to continue so the big questions for the music industry is whether they can successfully manage the move to being primarily a digital industry without profits falling to unacceptable levels.There are both positive and negative signs. On the plus side, more and more people are buying music by mobile phones, which allows people to make impulse purchases---they can buy a song as soon as they hear it. Research by the UK mobile operator 3 suggested that 75 percent of 16 to 24-year-olds wanted to buy a track they liked as soon as they heard it. With so much competition for people’s disposable income, a product you can sell immediately is a big advantage.The bad news for the record companies, however, is the amount of music that is downloaded illegally. Piracy---usually in the form of cheaply copied CD---has long been an issue for the music business but the internet means music can be copied and distributed freely through file-sharing sites on a large scale than ever before.It is this situation that leads bands to start giving away their music for free and promises to make the next few years a very interesting time in the music business.76.What is unusual about the Crimea’s business plan ?A.Their business was given away free on the Internet .B.They gave CDs away free in shops .C.They played free concerts.D.They charged more for their CDs.77.The Crimea hope to make money___.A.through CD salesB.by giving concerts and selling T-shirts and other merchandiseC.by selling merchandise on the InternetD.through sales of merchandise in shops78.The Crimea also released CDs for sale in shops because ___.A.people who attend their concerts need themB.they want to make extra moneyC.there are still people who prefer CDs to other formatsD.people who fail to attend their concerts need them79.What is true about sales of music over the last year?A.Overall,sales are up on last year.B.Overall,sales are down on last year.C.There is no change compared to previous salesD.It is not mentioned in the passage.80.What effect has internet had on music piracy?A.It is made it easier to fight piracyB.It has increased the number of pirate CDs available.C.It has made it easier to illegally copy music.D.It has reduced the number of pirate CDs available.Part IV TranslationSection A81.她喜欢看书时听音乐。

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