For each question, there are four choices marked A, B, C and D .You should decide onthe best choice, and then mark the corresponding letter on the answer sheet with a single line through the centre.Questions 46 to 50 are based on the following passage.When e-mail first came into general use about fifteen years ago, there was a lot of talk about the imminent arrival of the paperless office. However, it seems that e-mail has yet to revolutionize office communications .According to communicate ions analyst Richard Metcalf, some offices have actually seen an increase in paper as increase in paper as a result of e-mail.” Information in the form of e-mail messages now floods our computer screens. These messages can be distributed in the hundres.For those secretaries whose books ask them to print out all their e-mails and leave them in their intrays, this means using up a great deal of paper every month ,”Metcalf says.Metcalf has found that because some e-mails get lost in cyberspace, as are increasingly likely to be asked by clients and colleagues to send all important documents both by e-mails and by fax or “snail mail”-though the post .This highlightsafuther postential problem with e-mail in today’s offices-it is taking up time rather than saving it.“With e-mail, communication is much easier ,but there is also more room for misunderstrandings,”says psaychologist Dr David Lewis Generally ,much lsee care is take with e-mails than with letters or faxes and the sender will probably print the the documents and reread it before putting it in an envelope or sending it by fax.More worrying is still the increase misuse of e-mail for sending “flame-mail” –abusive or inappropriate e-mail messages .Recent research in several companies suggests that aggressive communications like this are on the increase .E-mail has become the perfect medium for expressing workplace frustration because is so instant.E-mail can also be a problem in order ways .Staff all too often make the mistake of thinking that the condense of an e-mail ,like things said over the phone ,are private and not permanent. But it is not only possible for anemployer to read all your e-mails, it is also perfectly legal-mail messages can be traced back to their origin for a period of at last two years , so you might want to rethink e-mailing your frustrations about your job to your friends. The advice is to keep personal e-mails out of the office .It goes without saying that e-mail exists to make life easier, and if used correctly, it is an invaluable tool for business of all sizes. But perhaps, for the time being ,the fact that in the business word 70persent of all documents are still in paper form is not such a bad thing after all.46.Why has the promise of the paperless office not come true in many offices?A.People write more memos than they used to.B.Maybe secretaries keep paper copies of everything their bosses send and receive .C.Many managers prefer to read their messages on paper .D.Staff leave messagers lying around their offices.47.What dose Richard Metcalf say about e-mail in Paragraph Two?A.It is not an appropriate channel for sending important informationB.It increases the amount of paperwork done in offices.C.It is not popular with many secretaries.48.How does David Lewis feel about e-mail messages?A.Many of them are not well written .B.Many of them are too long .C.Many of them are not printed out.D.Many of them are never read49.Why should employees not use company e-mail systems for personal messages?A.Because company e-mail systems are not easy to use.B.Because the people the messages sent to can’t.C.Because they allow people to express their anger immediately.D.Because e-mail is not a private means of communication.50.What dose the writer conclude about e-mail in the last paragraph?A.It has already made life a lot easier for many business.B.It is not being used enough in business today.C.It will never replace written communication.D.It is really useful when people use it properly.Section B(10 marks)In this section, there is one passage followed by five incomplete sentences. Read the passage carefully, and then complete the sentences in a maximum of there words for each blank. Remember to write the answers on the answer sheet.Questions 51 to 55 are based on the following passage.It is well known that some cultures prefer sons to daughters. In contrast, surveys have revealed that some people would rather have a daughter than a son. Apparently, each of these preference has its explanation in the local culture .Around the world , people who prefer sons have similar reasons .In many countries , sons are valued because they can work and contribute to the family income . Also , sons will be able to support their parents when the parents are old . In some cultures , sons are important because they enable the family name to continue for another generation . This is because the wife in these cultures takes her husband’s fami ly name , and more or less “belongs ”to the husband’s family . In addition , having a daughter can sometimes cause difficult for a family . In India , for example , having a daughter can be a burden because the family has to pay a dowry when the girl gets married .Generally ,people think traditional cultures are the ones in which boys are preferred . Research seems to support this belief . However , according to a survey conducted in 2000, people in the Czech Republic , Lithuania , Portugal , and the Caribbean prefer to have daughters . The researchers said that parents in these societies do not need to have the same economic situation that exists in other countries , so they do not need to have a son to help make money .Instead , families in these countries want daughters for emotional reasons . Many mothers think they will have a better relationship with a daughter than a son , for example . In addition ,they think daughters will take better care of them when they are old .In Japan , a similar trend has emerged . This might come as a surprise to some , because only one generation ago , the Japanese favored sons . In1982 , over half of Japanese couples surveyed would want a boy if they could have only one child . A survey done in 1997 , on the other hand , found that 75 percent wanted a girl !Some Japanese couples say they want to have daughters because they think daughters are cuter and easier to raise . Japanese couples also worry about being taken care of when they are old . If they have to live with their children when they are very old , many Japanese parents would want to live with a daughter . “A sons wife would be a stranger and harder to ask for help ,” one Japanese mother said .Critics warn that preference for a daughter is just as bad as preference for a son . “Instead of valuing children for the social roles they are expected to fill , parents must learn to value children as individuals ,” critics say . when that is the case, parents will be equally pleased with a son or daughter .Questions:51. The reasons that parents prefer to have sons are to continue____ , toHelp earn money for the family , and to support the parents in their oldAge .52. Japan’s preference for daughters now is quite____ because not long agoThe preference was for sons .53. In some developing countries , parents value boys more than girls mainly for _____ .54 . In India , parents receive _______ when their sons get married .55. Critics maintain that children should be treated by their parents as ___. Section C (10 marks )In this section ,there is one passage followed by five questions . Read the passage carefully and then answer each of the questions in a maximum of 10 words . Remember to write the answers on the answer sheet .Questions 56 to 60 are based on the following passage.At least 600,000 jobs could disappear in the UK this year , according to a report by a personnel managers’ professional body . The Chartered Institute of Personnel and Development says even those who escape redundancy will face pay freezes .It says that while total unemployment will not hit three million , the time between New Year and Easter will be the worst for job losses since 1991 .According to official statistics , there were 1.86 million people out of work in the UK in October , 2008. This figure was the highest since 1997 , taking the overall unemployment rate to 6 percent . David Frost of the British Chamber of Commerce says , “It is the worst ye ar . Companies are in survival mode .”The CIPD , which represents managers and personnel staff , issued its gloomy forecast a day after children’s retailer Adams joined a growing list of well known chains applying for bankruptcy protection .Chief economist John Philpott said , “In the face of some skepticism , the CIPD warned that 2008 would the UK’s worst year for jobs in a decade . It was , but in retrospectit will be seen as merely the slow –motion prelude to what will be the worst year for jobs in almost two decades . The CIPD’s annual barometer forecast is that the UK economy will shed at least 600,000 jobs in 2009 .Overall ,the 18-month period from the start of the recession in mid-2008 until the end of 2009 will witeness the loss of around three quarters of a million jobs , equivalent to the total net rise in employment in the preceding three years .”Mr Philpott said job losses were likely to continue into 2010 ,taking the final toll to about one million .The CIPD also surveyed 2,600 workers and found that more than one in four did not expect a pay rise next year ,while others feared wage cuts .The institute’s reward adviser ,Charles Cotton ,said ,”Employees are realistic about their pay prospects . Against this backdrop ,employers will need to work hard to find new ways to motivate their employees to perform .”“Financial incentives and targeted investment in training and development could be effective ways to do this ,” he added .“More than ever , this is a time where organizations need to en gage in an open and straightforward communication with their staff , clearly explaining the reasons for any difficult measures that will affect them ,” he said . “This will help preserve staff loyalty and engagement even during times when unpopular decisions need to made .”Questions:In the UK ?57. What kind of organization is the Chartered Institute of Personnel andDevelopment ?58. What are many British companies now struggling for ?59. What does the CIPD advise British employers to do under the presentcircumstances?60. Why does Charles Cotton suggest that employers communicate withtheir straight—forwardly ?Section D (10 marks)In this section, there is one passage followed by a summary. Read the passage carefully, and then complete the summary below by choosing a maximum of threewords from the passage to full in each of the blanks. Remember ton write the answers on the answer sheet.Questions 61 to 65 are based on the following passage.Everyone knows about pollution in the environment. Water, air, and land are all polluted. This means that pollution is everywhere .Now, scientists are looking inside our bodies to find out about internal pollution.In 2003, the Environmental Working Group studied nine people to measure the chemicals in there bodies. These nine people had an average of 53 cancer-causing chemicals in their bodies .They also had average of 62 chemicals that can harm babies in pregnant women .Even though a lot of chemicals were found in human bodies , the chemicals were found in small amounts .The amounts were small enough that they were probably not hurting the people . However, scientists are worried because most of these chemicals were created by humans. Most of these chemicals did not exist 75b years ago. This proves that we have not only polluted the world – we have polluted our own babies!How dose this pollution get into our bodies? We come into contact with many chemicals everyday .for example, everyone use soap, skin lotion, and shampoo. However, few people know that these products contain harmful chemicals, some of which may cause memory loss. Chemicals known as DEA(diethanolamine) and TEA(triethanolamine) may seep into the skin and stop us from absorbing a helpful nutrient called “choline”. Choline is a nutrient that plays a crucial role in the memory cell making progress in the developing brain. Some people worry that every time we wash our hair, we are decreasing our memories.Everyone knows they should brush their teeth regularly, but recent research has shown that some toothpastes can cause cancer. Fluoride is a key ingredient in many toothpastes. However, studies show that fluoride dose not really protect our teeth. In fact, fluoride has been connected with bone cancer and other diseases. While we are trying to save our smiles, we could be damaging our health.Women are probably exposed to more chemicals then men because they use more beauty products. Recently, harmful chemicals are called “phthalates”. Studies on animals have shown that phthalates can damage the liver, the kidneys, and thelungs. Cosmetic companies say the amounts of phthalates in their products are safe. But consumer protection groups disagree. They say some women try to look beautiful, the more they could be harming their health.In a futuristic story by Ray Bradbury, a man found a pristine stream on a new planet. When he drank from the stream, he died! Why? His body was so polluted that pure water was a position to him! Perhaps that is only science fiction, but it reminds us to take care of our bodies. We must find ways to reduce the pollution we absorb.Summary:Like our polluted environment, our bodies are no longer pollution-free. Scientists now know that there is pollution in our bodies. On (61) , we have 53 cancer-causing chemicals in our bodies. Even fluoride (62) with bone cancer and other diseases. Some common cosmetics contain small amounts of chemicals, which seep into our (63) when we use these products. They prevent us from absorbing the (64) our bodies need. So, it is (65) that we find ways to reduce the amount of chemicals in our bodies. We should remind our friends and families to take care of their bodies.Part IV Cloze(15 minutes,15 marks)Read the passage and fill in each blank with one word. Choose the word in one of the following three ways: according to the context , by using the correct from of the given word ,or by using the given letters of the word.

Remember to write the answer sheet.Embroidery (刺绣) is a brilliant pearl in Chinese art .(81) From the magnificent Dragon Robes worn by emperors to today’s fashions, embroidery adds a great deal of pleasure to our culture and our lives.The oldest embroidery on record in China dates from the Shang Dynasty. Embroidery in this period symbolized social status. (82) It was not until later on, as the national economy developed, that embroidery entered the lives of the common people.After the Zhou Dynasty, the Han Dynasty witnessed a leap in both techniques and styles of embroidery. Embroidered objects ranged from the sun, the moon, stars, mountains dragons, and phoenixes to tigers, flowers and grasses, clouds and geometric patterns. Auspicious words were also fashionable. Both historic records and products of the time prove this.The cultural relics found in the Mawangdui Han Tomb are the best evidence of this unprecedented development in embroidery.In addition, embroidery unearthed from the Mogao Caves in Dunhuang , the ancient tombs in Turpan and northern Inner Mongolia ,further strengthen this observation .(84) The Chinese word for embroidery is “xiu”, a picture or embroidery in five colours .It implies beautiful and magnificent things.Embroidery was an elegant task for ladies who were forbidden to go out of their homes. (85)It was a good pastime to which they could devote their intelligence and passion . Imagine a beautiful young lady embroidering a dainty pouch .Stitch by stitch, she embroiders a pair of love birds for her lover .It’s a cold winter da y and the room is filled with the aroma of incense. What a touching and beautiful picture!Section B (10marks)Translate the following sentences into English, using the words or structures required in the brackets .Remember to write the answers on the answer sheet.86.她先天残疾，但他从未屈服于任何困难。

points）Section A Multiple Choice（10 points）Directions：There is one reading passage in this part．The passage is followed by 5 questions or unfinished statements．For each of them there are four choices marked A，B，C and D．You should decide on the best choice and mark the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet with a single line through the centre．Questions 71 to 75 are based on the following passage：Taking a peep at what's going on in your headCARL Filer，18，a star salesman at a B＆Q hardware store in the UK，was called up for promotion within one week of starting work．But，instead of being made supervisor，he was sacked—after his employers saw the results of his psychometric test．You might think that anyone who answers that he“strongly disagrees he is an over-achiever is asking for trouble，but Mr Filer already thought he had proved himself more than capable．This year，nearly half of UK firms—46 percent—will use psychometric tests to select trainees，compared with just 17 percent in 2000，according to a report for GTI，a publisher of graduate career guides．These tests，which rate candidates’ability and gauge their personality，have been used in the UK since the 1980s．But assorted studies have shown most people—graduates in particular—are wholly cynical about the idea of their personality being“measured．“People tend to see them as either too silly or too clever， says Clive Fletcher，professor of occupational psychology at University of London．“But all the evidence indicates the tests do have some value．The first personality test as we know it，was developed by the American army in 1917 to filter out weak recruits．But it was not until the 1980s that the tests became popular in Britain．With a rising number of graduates going for a decreasing number of jobs，organizations began to see psychometric testing asa cheap，reliable alternative to the expensive，time-consuming interview．But today the tests are becoming alarmingly sophisticated and are edging towards probing the“dark side：pathology and personality disorders．Increasingly，tests are being used to try to detect promising young graduates who may，later in life，fly off the rails（go crazy）；or to stop psychopaths（having mental disorder）getting recruited．In the future，interviewees could even be given a mouth swab to reveal the genetic and biological markers of personality．“We are heading for the era of genetic screening，”warns Carolyn Jones，of the Institute for Employment Rights．“I think these tests are very flawed．And there are other problems with the tests．For starters，it is possible to fake it—even the test producers agree on this．But they have made it as hard as possible．For example，look at whether you agree or disagree with the following two statements：“New ideas come easily to me and“I find generating new concepts difficult． How long did it take you to realize they both could mean the same thing？The main argument，however，is that the tests are invalid and cannot quantify（put a numerical value on）something as changeable as personality．The golden rule is then，that a psychometric test should never be used as the sole basis of selection，but should always be followed by interviews．71．Most people's attitude towards the psychometric test is ______．A．contemptuous B．favorable C．tolerant D．confounded72．Which of the following is one of the reasons why psychometric testing wins an advantage over interviews？A．It doesn't cost any money．B．It requires no equipment．C．It is time-saving．D．It can be done within seconds．73．Which of the following statements is the author's idea？A．Psychometric tests are defective．B．Psychometric tests should not be the only way to recruit promising young graduates．C．Psychometric tests are invalid and cannot quantify something changeable as personality．D．Psychometric tests are golden rules．74．The test producers make the tests very complicated to ______．A．avoid cheating B．improve genetic screeningC．find out the best ideas D．generate new concepts75．Which of the following is not true according to the passage？A．The American army developed the first personality test to screen out weak recruits．B．In the future，interviewers could give a mouth swab to reveal interviewees’symptoms．C．There are possibilities for starters to cheat in the psychometric tests．D．Interviews still play an important role in evaluating interviewees．Section B Short Answer Questions（30 points）Directions：In this part there are 3 passages with 15 questions or incomplete statements．Read the passages carefully．Then answer the questions in the fewest possible words（not exceeding 10 words）．Remember to rewrite the answers on the Answer Sheet．Questions 76 to 80 are based on the following passage：The 8 Steps of Social Invention1．Get ready to play．Like other types of creativity，social inventiveness flourishes when you begin thinking outsideconventional boundaries．Charlie Girsch，a St．Paul，Minnesota-based creativity consultant，suggests that you start by playing with obviously absurd explanations for everyday events．“If traffic is slow，you'll be tem pted to say，‘Hmm．Must be an accident up ahead．’Instead，try saying，‘Must be a family of turtles crossing the highway’or‘I expect there's some kind of alien abduction going on．’You'll be amazed how soon you will be looking at familiar problems in new ways．”Girsch's book，Fanning the Creative Spirit（Creativity Central，1999）has scores of other exercises for limbering up the inventive part of your brain．2．Generate a zillion far-fetched ideas．Concerned about the homeless in your neighborhood？Imagine a Homeless Parliament，a Homeless Circus，homeless families forming an orchestra，a homeless museum ．．．and on and on．Generate like mad with no regard for feasibility in order，as social invention pioneer Nicholas Albery advises，to“overcome e worthy-but-dull ideas．”Eventually the two or three best ideas will begin to stand out．3．Take your wildest idea and bring it down to earth．How about that Homeless Circus？Could it turn into a forum for homeless people to display their creative talents？A performance series about homelessness？A neighborhood carnival with the homeless as guests of honor？Your flakiest idea may have a germ of brilliance that actually makes it more attractive，and thus more feasible（and fundable），than its worthy-but-dull cousins．4．Look for in venations that solve more than one problem．The Slow Food Movement，born in Italy，boosts local farmers and regional cuisine traditions and restaurateurs and the same time that it“feeds”our hunger for authentic tastes，healthy eating，and a more leisurely，saner style of life．5．Accentuate the positive．“A very common question that I get when I work with people in communities is‘Why doesn't anybody care about our problems？’”notes M chael Patterson，a social inventor and activist in Massachusetts．“What a worthless question．‘Why’？questions are for philosophers．Ask‘How’？and‘What’？questions—they are a lot more practical．”For instance，Patterson asks，“What would you do if you knew you couldn't fail？”6．Give it a rest．Walk away from your favorite idea for a while，forget about it，let it sleep．With your conscious mind out of the way，your subconscious gets to fiddle with the concept for a while，and you just might have an unexpected insight or breakthrough．7．Practice“yes and”in stead of“yes but”．No matter how tempted you are to say“Yes，but this will be hard because，”or“Yes，but a million other people are doing this，”shift the conjunction to“and”and see what sort of positive refinement or change emerges．“Yes，and we could concentrate on immigrants．”“Yes，and we can make it open to all ages．”8．Get your idea into the world．This is the tough part．You might seek out the help of activists who will take a shine to your ideas．Or become an organizer yourself．Paul Glove，a New York social inventor，coun-sels：“If you have an idea you believe in，write a pamphlet with your phone number on it and post it in Laundromats and bookstores．If three people call you，have lunch with them and call yourselves an organization．If five people call，meet with them and issue a press release．”Presto，you're launched．76．To generate far-fetched ideas helps to ______．77．Michael Patterson wants us to come up with“How”？and“What”？instead of“Why”？questionsbecause he considers they are more practical than ______．78．The purpose to practice“yes and”instead of“yes but”is to make yourself more ______．79．According to the article，when one has difficulty developing his favorite idea，he should ______．80．One should not only generate far-fetched ideas but also ______ because the latter step is the nearest to reality．Questions 81 to 85 are based on the following passage：Thin Slice of TV Has Big MarketIt is too early to write an obituary for bulky picture tubes，which will remain the most affordable TV sets for years to come．But，analysts and industry executives insist that thin screens already have started to become the dominant format for TV sets in the digital era．Sharp price cuts have brought plasma sets and other thin，flat televisions out of high-end electronic boutiques and into thousands of mass-market outlets such as Cosco，a wholesale buying club in the US，best known for offering members bulk items and big discounts．The least expensive plasma sets still cost a hefty US ＄3，000or more ，yet sales are growing so rapidly that many manufacturers are racing to boost production．That increase，combined with expanding production capacity and improved technology，could push the price of plasma sets down by one-third next year，according to analyst Richard Doherty of Envisioneering Group，a US research firm．But manufacturers are not just competing with each other；they are also trying to fend off challenges from competing thin-screen technologies，such as liquid crystal displays（LCD）．The demand for thin screens is fuelled in part by the advent of DVDs and digital TV broadcasts，which offer more detailed pictures and more lifelike colors than conventional analog TV signals．To see the difference，consumers need a set that can pack more information onto the screen than their current TVs can．This sharpness is most vivid on screens that are 40inches diagonal or larger．At that size，however，traditional direct view and projection TVs are so bulky that many consumers have trouble finding a place for them at home．Hence the interest in thin screens—models slender and light enough to hang on a wall．The glass panels at the heart of plasma and LCD sets come mainly from about a dozen companies with factories in Japan，South Korea and，increasingly，China．About 800，000 plasma panels will be shipped this year around the world，analysts say．That is a tiny amount compared with the overall market for TVs，which was about 140 million sets last year．But，industry experts said 2003would be a“breakout year”or plasma because shipments should double．Helping drive the growth are new or expanded manufacturing facilities．For example，Japanese electronics giant NEC last year doubled the capacity of its Japanese factory—reaching 300，000to 400，000 plasma panels．And it plans to double it again in 2003，officials said．As competition has heated up during the last four years，prices have fallen more than 50 percent．According to“NPD Tec world”，the average price of a plasma display sold in the US dropped from US ＄12，700in January 1999 to US ＄6，100in October 2002．The best markets for plasma screens have been in Asia，and about half of the sets have gone to businesses instead of homes．LCD TVs carry a premium price—they can be 10 times as expensive as a comparable tube-driven television—that knocks them out of most buyers’budgets．。

Respond to the questions using information from the passage. Remember to write the answers on the answer sheet.Section A (5 marks)Questions 56—60 are based on the following passage.In order to get information about distant planets, scientistsinvented spacecraft to travel into the solar system to see theplanets up close. These spacecraft do not carry people, and theynever return to Earth. However, while they are in space, theycan take photographs of planets that are too far away for us tostudy from Earth. One famous spacecraft that has done this ispart of the Voyager Project. This spacecraft is called Voyager I.NASA started the Voyager Project in the 1970s. During the 1960s and the 1970s, NASA sent many spacecraft into space to collect scientific information about the solar system, but none of those spacecraft carried astronauts. Two of the spacecraft that NASA built in the 1970s were called Voyager I and Voyager II. The original jobs of Voyager I and II were to get information about Jupiter and Saturn. The two spacecraft both left the Earth in 1977.Voyager I reached Jupiter in 1979 and began to take photographs. The spacecraft was able to get very close to Jupiter. By getting close to Jupiter, it could take very clear photographs of Jupiter’s rings and planets. Voyager I also took good photo graphs of Jupiter’s “Great Red Spot.” This spot is a large place on Jupiter where there is a strong storm. The Great Red Spot is so large that it could hold three planets the size of Earth inside of it! After taking pictures of Jupiter, Voyager I went to Saturn. It reached Saturn in 1980 and collected important information about Saturn’s rings.- 10 —After Voyager I finished its work on Saturn, the spacecraft still worked well. So, NASA sent Voyager I on a new job. This time it was sent out of the solar system. NASA wanted to see how far it could go.Voyager I is still working today. It is now NASA’s oldest working spacecraft. It has tr avelled more than 9.3 billion miles, making it the spacecraft that has travelled furthest from Earth. Actually, the spacecraft has now travelled much further than expected. As it travels, it continues to send new information back to Earth. It is expected that Voyager I will no longer work by the year 2020. At that time it will not have enough power to keep working. Still, we can certainly say that this spacecraft has done a great service in helping us to learn more about space.Questions 56一60Decide whether the following statements are true (T) or false (F) according to the passage.56.Voyager I and Voyager II are only a part of NASA’s Voyager Project started in the 1970s.57.Voyager I and Voyager II were specifically designed to carry astronauts to outer space.58.Voyager I has successfully fulfilled its mission of collecting information about Jupiter and Saturn.59.Voyager I is still in normal working condition inside the solar system.60.As expected, Voyager I will return to the Earth by the year of 2020 with morevaluable information.Section B (10 marks)Questions 61—65 are based on the following passage.Can we trust our memories? Psychologist Elizabeth Loftus doesn’t think so. Loftus is anexpert on false memories. A false memory is a memory of something that never happened.Are people with false memories lying? Not at all, says Loftus. They really believe theirmemories. And that is why it can be difficult to know if a memory is real.61. _________________________ These people didn’t know eachother, but 36 percent of them had the same memory. What was it?They remembered hugging Bugs Bunny at Disneyland. But wait a minute. Bugs Bunny isnot a Disney character, and he was never at Disneyland. These people’s memories werefalse.62. ___________________ Loftus says it is easy to put a false memoryinto someone’s mind. How? You just talk to the person. In the Bugs Bunny experiment, Loftus talked to peoplewho had visited Disneyland as children. Then she asked them about Bugs Bunny. She asked if he had soft ears. She asked if his body was furry. Later, more than one-third falsely remembered hugging Bugs Bunny.63. ________________________ That is why Loftus used the words “furry” and “soft” in theexperiment. Those words helped people imagine the experience. They saw Bugs Bunny in their imagination. They felt his soft fur. It seemed so real. They were sure it really happened.64. ________________________ Loftus says it shows the dangers of false memory. Of course, afalse memory of Bugs Bunny is not dangerous, but imagine this situation. A man hits a woman on the head. Then he steals her car. The police ask the victim if the thief smelled of cigarettes.In fact, he did not, but after the woman hears the question, she becomes 100 percent sure that he did. She adds the smell ofcigarettes to her real memory and creates a false memory. The police thenaccuse the wrong person, a smoker. As a result, they never find the guiltyman. He’s a nonsmoker, so the police don’t even look for him.65.__ ____________________________ If they aren’tcareful, they won’t find the truth.

In English, everything from spelling to vocabulary has gone throughmajor changes over the years. In fact, to a modern speaker, the English of1,000 years ago looks like a foreign language!The history of English dates back around 1,500 years. At that time,groups of Europeans invaded England, bringing their language with them. Itdeveloped into Old English. Later, in 1066, England was invaded by theNormans from France. The language went through an important shift,leading to what we now call Middle English. Over the next 500 years, the language underwent further shifts, leading to Modern English. As the language has developed over time，many things about it have changed.Pronunciation is one of the most obvious areas. For example, in Old English, people said “hus” and “mus”. Now, we say “house” and “mouse”. These days, there are many differences in the way English is pronounced in the U.S., India, and elsewhere. When people live in groups separated by great distances, the pace of change can be fast.Spelling has also gone through interesting changes. For example, in Old English, one wrote “riht”. A “g” was added in Middle English, making the spelling “right”. Also, in the distant past, people did not always follow standards of spell ing. In the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries, scholars like Noah Webster wrote dictio varies which made the spelling more consistent. However, different standards were decided on in England and the U.S. So, some differences remain—for example, “color” v s. “colour”.Vocabulary changes happen even more quickly. English has grown by borrowing words from languages such as French, Spanish, and Arabic, to name a few. This often happens with types of food—for example, “tofu”. Then there is slang which enters an d leaves the language every year! Thirty years ago, one often heard people saying “groovy”，meaning “great”. These days, you’ll rarely hear the word except on old TV shows and movies.Because English is spoken by so many people worldwide, it really is an exciting time for the language. Just as American and British versions are always changing, so are versions spoken in Canada, Singapore, and elsewhere. At the same time, an entirely new version of English is appearing on the Internet with whole new slang and writing styles. In a way, learning English is a never-ending process, even for native speakers!13Questions 66—70Answer the following questions according to the passage.66.Why does the English of 1,000 years ago seem a foreign language to modern speakers?67.What aspects are discussed to show the changes of English in history?68.When did scholars try to make English spelling more consistent?69.What are some languages that English has borrowed words from?70.Where can we see an entirely new version of English?Section D (10 marks)Questions 71——75 are based on the following passage.Wine can be made with red grapes or whitegrapes, and, especially in the case of red wines, a number ofdoctors have reported that a moderate amount of wine hascertain health benefits. This may be one of the reasons why thenumber of people drinking wine has risen over the past years.As new wine -shoppers browse the shelves of their localmarkets, they face a tough decision. Should they buy a winewith a cork or a screw top? And shoppers are not alone in theirdilemma. Wineries are also facing tough choices in the bestway to seal their products.The root of the problem lies in “cork taint”. Corktaint refers to a problem with wine that has been sealed with abad cork. Traditionally, all corks are made from a special oak tree that grows around the Mediterranean. In the process of making the corks and sealing wine bottles, a certain type of mold may start to grow on some corks. Over time, this mold can produce a chemical that makes the wine inside the bottle taste musty. In fact, the human tongue is so sensitive to this particular compound that people can taste it even diluted up to six parts per trillion!How big is the problem of cork taint? Some experts from the wine industry claim cork taint affects one out of every ten bottles of wine. And as one spokesperson for an American winery says, “No other packaging industry in the world would put up with that kind of failure rate.”Some wine makers see a possible solution to the problem of cork taint through adopting the tried and true method of sealing bottles with screw tops. However, many wineries are still playing it safe and sticking to corks for two reasons. First, there is the old belief among cork users that small amounts of oxygen are able to penetrate corks. This oxygen, they say, is necessary for the proper aging of fine wines, especially those aged 10 years or more. Screw tops14 -do not allow for any oxygen to get into the bottles after they are sealed.Another problem arises from the image screw tops have with the public. In most people’s minds, screw tops are only found on cheap, low-quality wines. It will take a lot of efforts from wineries to re-educate the public if they want to change the image of screw tops. In addition, there is the problem of losing the romantic, elegant mood produced by the ceremonial popping of the cork. Consumers don’t seem to feel the same thrill when unscrewing a top.Questions 71—75 Complete the summary with words from the passage, changing the form wherenecessary, with only one word for each blank.The wine industry is facing a 71. _______________ .

In 1993, the owners of a large hotel and of several houses discovered, to their horror, that their gardens had disappeared overnight. The sea had eaten into the soft limestone cliffs on which they had been built. While experts were studying the problem, the hotel and several houses disappeared altogether, sliding down the cliff and into the sea. Erosion of the white cliffs along the south coast of England has always been a problem but it has become more serious in recent years. Dozens of homes have had to be abandoned as the sea has crept farther and farther inland. Experts have studied the areas most affected and have drawn up a map for local people, forecasting the year in which their homes will be swallowed up by the hungry sea. Angry owners have called on the Government to erect sea defenses to protect their homes. Government surveyors have pointed out that in most cases, this is impossible. New sea walls would cost hundreds of millions of pounds and would merely make the waves and currents go further along the coast, shifting the problem from one area to another. The danger is likely to continue, they say, until the waves reach an inland area of hard rock which will not be eaten as limestone is. Meanwhile, if you want to buy a cheap house with an uncertain lucre, apply to a house agent in one of the threatened areas on the south coast of England. You can get a house for a knockdown price but it may turn out to be a knockdown home.46．What is the cause of the problem that people living on parts of the south coast of England face?A．The rising of the sea level.B．The experts’ lack of knowledge.C．The washing-away of limestone cliffs.D．The disappearance of hotels, houses and gardens.正确答案：C47．The erosion of the white cliffs in the south of England ______.A．will soon become a problem for people living in central EnglandB．has now become a threat to the local residentsC．can be stopped if proper measures are takenD．is quickly changing the map of England正确答案：B48．The experts’ study on the problem of erosion can ______.A．warn people whose homes are in dangerB．provide an effective way to slow it downC．help the prevent it from worseningD．lead to its eventual solution正确答案：A49．It is not feasible to build sea defenses to protect against erosion because ______.A．house agents along the coast do not support the ideaB．it is too costly and will endanger neighboring areasC．the government is too slow in taking actionD．they will be easily knockdown by waves and currents正确答案：B50．According to the author, when buying a house along the south coast of England, people should ______.A．take the quality of the house into considerationB．guard against being cheated by the house agentC．examine the house carefully before making a decisionD．be aware of the potential danger involved正确答案：DIt is generally accepted that every experience teaches the child something and the effects are cumulative. “upbrigning” is normally used to refer to the treatment and training of the child within the home. This is closely related to the treatment and training of the child in school, which is usually distinguished by the term “education”. In a society such as ours, both parents and teachers are responsible for the opportunities provided for the development of the child, so that upbringing and education are interdependent. The ideals and practices of child rearing vary from culture to culture. In general, the more rural the community, the more uniform are the customs of child Upbringing. In more technologically developed societies, the period of childhood and adolescence tends to be extended over a long time, resulting in more opportunity for education and greater variety in character development. Early upbringing in the home is naturally affected both by the cultural pattern of the community and by the parents’ capabilities and their aims and depends not only on upbringing and education but also on the innate abilities of the child. Intelligent parents, however, realize that the particular setting of each family is unique, and there can be no rigid general rules. All parents have to solve the problems of freedom and discipline. The younger the child, the more readily the mother gives is to his demands to avoid disappointing him. She knows that if his energies are not given an outlet, her child’s continuing development may be warped. A child must be allowed to enjoy this “messy” but tactile stage of discovery before he is ready to goon to the less physical pleasures of toys and books. Similarly, throughout life, each stage depends on the satisfactory completion of the one before.51．It’s a general belief that a child’s later character and personality is ______ decided by his early experiences both at home and in school.A．chieflyB．by chanceC．entirelyD．seldom正确答案：A52．The word “cumulative” (in line 1, Para. 1) most probably means ______.A．decisiveB．extremely beneficialC．strongD．progressively greater正确答案：D53．It can be seen from the passage that ______.A．the cultural pattern is the single factor that affects a child’s upbringing in the homeB．by no means does the technological development of children’s characterC．there are advisable rules for parents to go by in bringing up their childrenD．upbringing and education are mutually complementary正确答案：D54．A child’s development might well be badly affected if ______.A．he was subjected to unusually strict disciplineB．his mother often gave in to his demandsC．his energies were freely given an outletD．he were brought up in a happy environment正确答案：A55．As it is presented in the passage, rather than a smooth progression the development of the human character and personality is a series of ______.A．actsB．stagesC．functionsD．completions正确答案：BSection BYour passport is your official identification as an American citizen. In America, most people never consider obtaining a passport unless they are planning a trip out of the country. A passport is final proof of identity in almost every country in the world. In 1979 almost 15 million Americans held passports. Most of these passports were obtained to travel outside the country because, except for a few Western nations, passports are required to enter every country. And if you travel abroad, you must have a valid passport to reenter the country. When traveling abroad, you will need a passport for identification when exchanging dollars for francs or marks or other foreign currency. You may also need your passport to use a credit card, buy an airplane ticket, check into a hotel or casino. Don’t confuse passports and visas. Whereas a passport is issued by a country to its citizens, a visa is official permission to visit a country granted by the government of that country. For some years, many countries were dropping their visa requirements, but that trend has reversed. Argentina, Brazil, and Venezuela now require visas from U.S. citizens. They may be obtained from the embassy of the country you wish to visit. Passport applications are available at passport agency offices in large cities like Boston, New York, or Chicago. In smaller cities, applications are available at post offices and at federal courts. To get your first passport, you must submit the application in person, along with a birth certificate and two pictures. Maybe because most Americans use their passports only when traveling and because they are good for five years, many people lose their passports. Any every passport is worth thousands of dollars to smugglers or criminals who desire to enter this country illegally or assume a false identity. Travelers should keep their passports in their pockets or pocketbooks at all times; never pack them or leave them in a room or automobile; when you arrive back home, store your passport in a safe or safety deposit box. And report a lost or stolen passport immediately; it is literally your identity.56．What is the main purpose of this passage?正确答案：To provide information about passports.57．Passports are needed when ______.正确答案：exchanging currency, using credit cards, checking into hotels, etc.58．Concerning passports and visas, what can we conclude from this passage?正确答案：Passports are more important than visas.59．What does the passage suggest about the importance of passports?正确答案：Most people don’t realize how important passports are.60．Where should travelers keep their passports?正确答案：In their pockets or pocketbooks．Section CHeat loss by sweating depends on the fact that when a liquid evaporates, it absorbs an enormous quantity of heat from its surroundings. Therefore, when 1 ml. of sweat evaporate, a great deal of heat is absorbed from the surface of the body in contact with it. This heat transfer occurs even if the environment is hotter than the body. Two factors affect the rate of evaporation of sweat, and therefore the effectiveness of sweating as a method of cooling the body. The first is the amount of movement of air surrounding the body. The second is the amount of water vapor in the air that surrounds the body. When air moves over the surface of water, the amount of evaporation is greatly increased. For this reason, sweat evaporates very rapidly on windy days, and the rate of heat loss by sweating is much more than on a still day. This accounts for the fact that hot still days are much less comfortable than hot windy days. In contrast, the sweat evaporates very rapidly on hot windy days, and cools the body quickly and effectively. The second factor is the amount of water vapor in the air--the humidity. When air is carrying the maximum amount of water vapor that it can hold, it is said to be 100% saturated with water vapor. The relative humidity of the air is said to be 100%. Under these conditions the air cannot carry any water, so no water can evaporate. When the relative humidity is high, therefore, sweat cannot evaporate. Instead, it forms large drops and runs off your skin without cooling you. When the air is very dry and carries no water at all, the relative humidity is said to be 0%. It is obvious that under these conditions, evaporation will be much more rapid. Therefore, sweating will be much more effective as a method of losing heat from the body. On a hot dry day, sweat evaporates as soon as it is formed, and you feel reasonably cool even though the temperature of your environment is very high.61．______ According to the passage, it can be inferred that housewives prefer to hang their washing on hot still days.A．TB．FC．NG正确答案：B62．______ People have good reasons to feel cool on a hot dry day because of quick evaporation.A．TB．FC．NG正确答案：B63．______ Hot windy days are much more comfortable than hot still days.A．TB．FC．NG正确答案：B64．______ On an extremely hot day, sweating to cool your body effectively will occur when the air is very hot and dry and carries no water at all.A．TB．FC．NG正确答案：A65．______ The heat transfer happens on the condition that the environment is cooler than the body.A．TB．FC．NG正确答案：A66．______ You might expect the highest incidence of a heat stroke when the maximum temperature is 100 and humidity is 50%.A．TB．FC．NG正确答案：CSection DThe most interesting architectural phenomenon of the 1970s was the enthusiasm for refurbishing old buildings. Obviously, this was not an entirely newphenomenon.【73】. A few trial efforts, such as Ghirardelli Square in San Francisco, proved their financial viability in the 1960s, but it was in the 1970s, with strong government support through tax incentives and rapid depreciation, as well as growing interest in ecology issues, that recycling became a major factor on the urban scene. One of the most comprehensive ventures was the restoration and transformation of Boston’s eighteenth century Faneuil Hall and the Quincy Market, designed in 1842. This section had fallen on hard times, but beginning with the construction of a new city hall immediately adjacent,【74】under the design leadership of Benjamin Thompson. He has provided a marvelous setting for dining, shopping, professional offices, and simply walking. Butler Square, in Minneapolis, exemplifies major changes in its complex of offices, commercial space, and【75】designed in 1906 as a hardware warehouse. The exciting interior timber structure of the building was highlighted by cutting light courts through the interior and adding large skylights. San Antonio, Texas,【76】. Rather than bringing in the bulldozers, San Antonio’s leaders rehabilitated existing structures, while simultaneously cleaning up the San Antonio River, which meanders through the business district. Sentences: A. offers an object lesson for numerous other cities combating urban decay B. What is new is the wholesale interest in reusing the past, in recycling, in adaptive rehabilitation. C. During the 1970s, old buildings in many cities were recycled for modem use. D. public amenities carved out of a massive pile E. It has returned to life with the intelligent reuse of these fine buildings.67．正确答案：B68．正确答案：E69．正确答案：D70．正确答案：APart ⅤTranslationSection A(89) For many women choosing whether to work or not to work outsidetheir home is a luxury: they must work to survive. Others face a hard decision. Perhaps the easiest choice has to do with economics. One husband said, “Marge and I decided after careful consideration that for her to go back to work at this moment was an extravagance (奢侈) we couldn’t afford”. (90) With two preschool children, it soon became clear in their figuring that with babysitters, transportation, and increased taxes, rather than having more money, they might actually end up with less. Economic factors are usually the first to be considered, but they are not the most important. The most important aspects of the decision have to do with the emotional needs of each member of the family. (91) It is in this area that husbands and wives find themselves having to face many confusing and conflicting feelings. (92) There are many women who find that homemaking is boring or who feel imprisoned (被囚禁) if they have to stay home with a young child or several children. On the other hand, there are women who think that homemaking gives them the deepest satisfaction. From my own experience, I would like to suggest that sometimes the decision to go back to is made in too much haste. There are few decisions that I now regret more. I wasn’t mature enough to see how much I could have gained at home. (93) I regret my impatience to get on with my career; I wish I had allowed myself the luxury of watching the world through my little girl’s eyes.71．正确答案：对许多妇女来说，可以在出门工作还是呆在家里进行选择是一种奢侈，因为他们要工作谋生。
