国家公共英语（四级）口试模拟试卷2(题后含答案及解析)题型有：1. 考生个人情况介绍 2. 考生相互问答 3. 继续性问答考生个人情况介绍1．E First of all, we’d like to know something about you, so I’m going to ask some questions about yourselves.E Are you satisfied with the environment you are living in?E Has your university done anything to protect the campus environment? (If yes, what has it done? /If not, why not?)E Why is environmental protection important?E Is environmental pollution a local or global problem? (Please explain) E Which do you think is more important, environmental protection or economic development?正确答案：E First of all, we’d like to know something about you, so I’m going to ask some questions about yourselves.E Are you satisfied with the environment you are living in?A I’m dissatisfied with the environment I’m living in now. I’m a university student in Beijing. Actually I think the environment on campus is very good, because there are many trees and plenty of grass on campus. For example, at dusk, we can see many birds flying over the campus. It’s very beautiful. What makes me dissatisfied is the environment of Beijing. Some of Beijing’s rivers are very dirty and smell feculent. Beijing also has sensible sandstorms. This environment problem is getting more and more serious. As the suffusing dust blocks out the sky, enshrouding the cities, the storm brings much inconvenience and trouble to people’s daily life and work, and even claim lives in regions where the problem is more serious.E Has your university done anything to protect the campus environment? (If yes, what has it done? /If not, why not?)A Yes, my university attaches great importance to the campus environment. There are many lawns and trees in my university. Workers often mow the lawns and clean the streets on campus. So, the campus’s always kept tidy. There is a very beautiful lake on campus. After lunch, students and teachers always go there to have a walk. Three years ago, the water of this lake was very dirty, and teachers and students often complained about it. Then, my university mobilized all the students and teachers to clean this lake. Firstly, they drained all the water. Secondly, they scooped out the garbage that sunk to the bottom of the lake. Finally, they pumped clean water into the lake. Now the lake has restored its beauty. This is one example of what is being done to protect the campus environment, from which we can see all teachers and students are contributing to the campus environment at protection.E Why is environmental protection important?A To know the importance of environmental protection, you should know the damage done by pollution. Pollution is harmful to human beings. Polluted water causes many kinds of diseases. And sometimes these diseases kill people’s lives. Dirty air or garbage causes stinging eyes and running noses. Pollutants are destructive. They eat away the stone and cause iron to rust. Environmental pollution is more serious in some areas.E Is environmental pollution alocal or global problem? (Please explain) B In my opinion, environmental pollution is both a local and global problem. Environmental pollution does great damage to people’s health and drives a growing number of people into poverty. So in many nations, environmental degradation is now recognized as a key barrier to governments’ability to meet basic needs and sustain living standard. At the global level, almost all of the indicators are negative. Each year now, the level of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere reaches a new high, and the ozone layer grows thinner. Thousands of plant and animal species no longer exist. The world environmental protection has, in a sense, been under way for more than two decades. Grass-roots environmental organizations proliferated in these years. Environmental pollution is a serious problem that needs to be solved by all human beings both on a local and global level.E Which do you think is more important, environmental protection or economic development?B Some people think that the most urgent task is to develop economy on a large scale because many people, especially in rural areas, are living in poverty. They believe only by further balancing and developing our economy can we get rid of poverty and gain overall prosperity. On the other hand, many people insist that environmental protection should be top priority. We have only one mother earth. If our ecological environment is heavily polluted or ruined, we could not survive on this planet. In my opinion, both economy and environment protection are urgent tasks. Without economic development, we would remain backward and possibly be conquered or bullied by other powerful countries. On the other hand without environmental protection, we would lose our home. Therefore, the best solution is to develop environmental-protection-oriented industries and agriculture, killing two birds with one stone.考生相互问答2．E Now, I’d like you to talk about something between yourselves. You should take care to share the opportunity of speaking.正确答案：A I think the best way to avoid traffic accidents is to obey the traffic rules. As long as you do so, every vehicle can run smoothly and orderly in the street, and no traffic accidents will happen. For example, at the crossing, everyone should obey the traffic lights.B Yes, it’s very important to obey traffic rules. But if your vehicle is in poor condition and it breaks down suddenly in the street, a traffic accident will also happen. So, I think we should keep our vehicles in good condition, and it’s the best way to avoid traffic accidents.A As far as I know, there are many traffic accidents caused by violation of traffic rules. Some people ride bicycles with another person sitting at the back seat; some drivers drink too much alcohol before driving; some pedestrians cross the street against the traffic lights.B I think we should obey traffic rules to avoid traffic accidents.A But there are still traffic accidents taking place although we obey the traffic rules and keep our vehicles in good condition. If the weather is bad, or if the street is narrow, we can’t avoid and traffic accidents. What can we do?B We still can do something to solve this problem. Drivers shouldkeep alert and show consideration for others especially in bad weather and a narrow street.A Yes. Moreover, pedestrians should also keep alert and show consideration for others. For example, they should look to the left and right when they step off thepavement. B Sure, all of what you said is right. I just think all that you said can be found in the traffic rules. So, as long as we obey the traffic rules, there will be no traffic accidents. It’s the best way. Besides, our country should strengthen the supervision of transportation, such as speed limits on the highway in bad weather, broadening the street, forbidding the booths at the sides of streets, etc.B What can we do as citizens to help reduce traffic accidents?A I think it depends on the role a citizen plays in the city. If you are a driver, certainly you should not drink alcohol before driving and be aware of the fatal consequences of your carelessness; if you are a pedestrian, then please obey the traffic rules and be careful of the vehicles running in the street. Certainly, no matter which role a citizen plays in his daily life, a driver or a pedestrian, it’s a must for him to obey traffic rules.A What do you think of bicycles as a means of transportation in big cities?B I think bicycle is a good means of transportation in big cities. Firstly, you need not take the crowded bus and subway. You need not wait for your bus at the bus station for a long time. Besides, riding a bicycle can avoid traffic congestion. Sometimes a bicycle is faster than a bus or taxi because of the traffic congestion. I think most of us must have had such an experience. And a bicycle is so convenient for riding and parking in crowded streets. You can go anywhere at any time.B What measures has the government taken to reduce traffic accidents in cities? A Our government has taken many measures to reduce traffic accidents in cities. Firstly, the government invested much more money in the construction of transportation, such as broadening the streets and building new streets, because traffic accidents are caused by the narrow or crowded streets. Secondly, government has strengthened the supervision of traffic. If it’s in bad weather, the speed of vehicles would be limited especially on highways. The government can also invest money into the education to make people conscious of traffic rules. For example, in the street, we can see some advertisements about traffic accidents.继续性问答3．E I’m going to give each of you a picture and I’d like you to first briefly describe and then give your comment on what you see in the picture. Candidate A, this is your picture. You have three minutes to talk about it.E Thank you. Now, candidate B, could you please ask your partner a question?E OK. Candidate B, here is your picture. You also have three minutes to talk about your picture.E Thank you. Now, candidate A, could you please ask your partner a question?正确答案：E I’m going to give each of you a picture and I’d like you to first briefly describe and then give your comment on what you see in the picture. Candidate A, this is your picture. You have three minutes to talk about it.A The picture shows us a prospect of family reunion. The whole family is getting together and having a wonderful supper. In holidays they choose to stay home to enjoy andrelax with the family. Each member of the family appears to be happy and they are toasting to each other’s health. In China family reunion is a traditional way of observing holidays.E Thank you. Now, candidate B, could you please ask your partner a question?B Do you think we should spend our own festivals or western ones?A I’m a more traditional person. I’ve also noticed the change and my attitude toward this phenomenon is just live-and-let-live. People can have their own way of life. If they want to celebrate the western festivals, then just let them do so. But for myself, I prefer celebrating our traditional ones. Chinese are more reserved. And being reserved is not a fault in our character. We just show our love in our own way. It may not be spoken out, but one can feel it. And usually it’s the deepest, and the strongest love. Under the more reserved appearance, there is often a more colorful and richer inner world. So it’s still more important to celebrate our own festivals.E OK. Candidate B, here is your picture. You also have three minutes to talk about your picture.B In the left of pictures, groups of people, mostly women, are shopping in the stories. They are purchasing all kinds of clothes. In holidays people usually stroll along the streets. There are usually many sales for them to get a good bargain. In the right picture, a boy indulges himself in the net. Surfing the net seems to have brought great satisfaction to him. Indeed surfing the net is convenient, but we should be aware of the problems as well. The web can be dangerous because it can be addictive and violent sites are easily accessible and can pollute young minds. Additionally, it influences your working and studying play if you spend too much time on it. So, people should be careful not to be misled.E Thank you. Now, candidate A, could you please ask your partner a question?A What should we do to encounter these phenomenon?B In my opinion, at present, we have two urgent tasks at hand. One is to develop our economy quickly, and it can help us win back the youth. The other is to publicize and give more attention to our own culture. We can create a kind of atmosphere with the help of government, and our mass media. We should learn from the foreigners but we should have our own understanding to these festivals. For example, we could have a candle supper with our lovers without rose or chocolate, and we could express the same feeling by our own ways.。

It s traditional meaning is used to 16 a temperature that is fairly cold. As the world has 17 , however, the word has expanded to 18 many different meanings. “Cool” can be used to express feelings of 19 in almost anything. When you see a brand-name car in the street, maybe you can’t help 20 , “It’s cool.” You might think, “He’s so cool,” when you see your 21 footballer. We all enlarge the meaning of “cool”. You can use it 22 many words such as “new” or “amazing.” Here’s an interesting story we can see 23 illustrate the usage of the word: A teacher asked her students to 24 the waterfall they had visited. On one student’s paper was just the one 25 , “It’s so cool.” 26 he thought it was 27 to describe 28 he saw and felt. 29 the story also proves the shortage of words and expressions. 30 “cool,” some people have no words to express the same meaning. So it is 31 to improve our word strength to maintain some 32 . As a popular word, “cool” stands for a kind of special 33 that people can accept easily.

It was named 16 Frankfurt, a German city. Frankfurters were first 17 in the United States in 18 . Americans called frankfurters "dachshundsausages"(达克思⾹肠).A dachshund is a dog from Germany 19 a very long body and short legs. Dachshund sausages first 20popular in New York, 21 at baseball games.

One step is to make sure that the house seems a lived-in one. Living room curtains should be pulled down only half-way. Bedrooms that usually have the curtains pulled down at night should be left down . Another is to make sure that all outside locks are the dead-bolt type (双保险) . Still another is to leave several 100W lights burning and make sure that one is in the kitchen. Lights that turned on and off by themselves are the best. Then, too, it is a good idea to leave the radio turned on and setto a talking station. Any type of speaking makes a thief think twice before trying to enter. Finally, while away on holiday, make sure that nothing collects in front or in the house. Particularly, make certain that the newspaper is stopped and thata trusted neighbour has been asked to pick up the mail. Thieves are especially quick to notice piled-up newspapers and overpiled mail boxes.36. Why did the writer begin this piece with question?A. Because he wanted to catch the readers' attention.B. Because he wanted to have the readers guess the answer before reading.C. Because he wanted to sum up (概括) the topic of the piece.D. Because he wanted to make the readers understand him better.37. The word "live-in" in this passage means ______________.A. left emptyB. lively and cheerfulC. now being used by peopleD. laid inside38. What does the writer advise the people to do?A. Ask a neighbour to pick up the daily mailB. Make sure to have lights that turn on and off by themselves.C. Make sure the newspaper is handed over every day.D. Pull the living room curtains down.39. The most important room to leave a light burning in is the _________.A. bedroomB. kitchenC. living roomD. sitting-room( B )Mr Richards has worked in a small seaside town for about ten years and he and his wife have a comfortable house near the sea.During the winter they would be quite happy, but every summer a lot of their relatives used to spend holiday in their house , and it was much cheaper than staying in hotel . Finally one day in June Mr Richards complained to a clever friend of his who lived in the same place. "One of my wife's cousins is going to bring her husband and children and spend ten days with us next month again. How have you prevented all your relatives from coming to live with you in summer ?" "Oh,"the friend answered, "that is not difficult. I just borrow money from all the rich ones, and lend it to all the poor ones. After that,they seldom come again." Hearing this Mr Richards smiled.40. The relatives preferred to stay in Mr Richards' house because _____________.A. it was cool in summerB. they might spend less moneyC. they were more welcomeD. it was a comfortable place41. According to his friend's opinion, the poor relatives would stop going there so oftenbecause ________ .A. they were shy to borrow money againB. hey were afraid to be asked to pay off the debtsC. they had been ill-treatedD. it wasn't happy for the poor to meet the rich42. The best title for this passage is ___________.A. Such a Clever FriendB. Mr Richards and his FriendC. Money is ImportantD. Such Good Usage of Money43. After reading the passage we can infer _____________.A. Mr Richards still complains about the coming of his relatives in summerB. The friend of Mr Richards' hadn't as many relatives as RichardsC. Gradually Mr Richards succeeded in keeping his relatives out in summerD. sNone of Richards' relatives came to the seaside town for their holidays again( C )I wonder why American towns looks so much alike that I sometimes mix them up in my memory. The standard influence(影响)of massproduction whose agents(代理商)are the travellingsalesman, the mail-order house, the five-and-ten cent stores, the chain stores, the movies can hardly explain it. If you stay two days in Bologna and in Ferrare, or in Arles and in Avignon, you will never mix them up in all your life. But it may well happen that after you spend two days in St.Louis and in Kansas City the appearances of these two cities soon mix up. I think the reason for this is that these towns have not yet had time enough to develop their own characters. Similarly, children are much less different from each other than grown people.44. Which two of the following towns look so much alike?A. Bologna and FerrareB. Arles and AvignonC. St. Louis and Kansas CityD. Bologna and St. Louis45. In line 4 the word "it" refers to ____________.A. standard of townsB. similarity of townsC. people's memoryD. mass production46. American towns look very much alike because of ____________.A. the standard influence of mass productionB. their different appearancesC. not being fully developedD. having everything in common( D )Millions of stars are travelling about in space. A few form groups which journey together, but most of them travel alone.And they travel through a universe so large that one star seldom comes near to another. For the most part each star makes its journey in complete loneliness, like a ship on an empty ocean. The ship will be well over a million miles from its nearest neighbor. From this it is easy to understand why a star seldom finds another anywhere neat it.We believe, however, that some two thousand million years ago, another star wandering(漫游) through space, happened to comenear our sun, Just as the sun and the moon raise tides(潮汐)on the earth, so this star must have raised tides on the surface of the sun .But they were very different from the small tides that are raised in our oceans; a large tidal wavemust have travelled over the surface of the sun, at last forming a mountain so high that we cannot imagine it. As the cause of the disturbance(动荡) came nearer, so the mountain rose higher and higher. And before the star began to move away again,its tidal pull had become so powerful that this mountain was torn to pieces and threw off small parts of itself into space. These small pieces have been going round the sun ever since. They are the planets(⾏星).47. Millions of stars are _______________.A. following a regular path in spaceB. moving about without a fixed courseC. seldom wandering about in the universeD. always travelling together48. Some two thousand million years ago, the mountain on the sun was raised probably because__________.A. a large tidal wave of a star travelled over the surface of the sunB. another star happened to come near the sunC. the sun and the moon raised the tides on the earthD. the star moved away from the sun49. The article suggests that _____________ .A. our earth exists before the sunB. how space formedC. no one knows where the earth comes fromD. our earth used to be a high mountain on the sun50. The expression "the cause of the disturbance" refers to _________.A. the large tidal waveB. the powerful tidal pullC. the star coming near the sunD. one of the sun's planets51. In this article, the writer mainly wants to tell the readers __________.A. that the universe is so large that we cannot imagine itB. how the high mountains were formed on the sunC. why the tides over the surface of the sun were so powerfulD. where the planets in the universe came from( E )Contacts(交往) between Japan and the rest of the world have grown a great deal in the twentieth century. In the last thirty years, business contacts between Japan and the West have become very important. Many foreign companies now have offices inJapan and Japanese businessmen do business around the world.Differences between Japanese and Western ways of doing business, however, often bewilder the foreign businessman and makedoing business in Japan difficult for foreigners.The American businessman, for example , wants of start talking business immediately . He wants quick decisions. He does notwait. The Japanese, on the other hand , likes to arrive at decisions gradually after giving them a great deal of thought. Another thing foreign businessmen have difficulty in understanding is when a Japanese means "Yes" or "No". This is becauseof cultural difference for a J a p a n e s e t o s a y " N o " d i r e c t l y . b r > I n E n g l i s h , i t i s e a s y t o s a y " N o " t o s o m e t h i n g w e d o n o t w a n t t o d o .

Stock markets in Paris, London, Tokyo, Shanghai and New York are among the largest and most well-known. The stock, also called stock exchange, is a place where people can buy or sell shares of a factory or company. And each share means certain ownership of a factory or company.Different people go to stock markets. Some are rich, who want to get more money than they have. Others are not very rich, who buy stocks to try to become rich. Still others buy stocks as part of their plan to save money.Of course, investing（投资）money in the stock market is not the safest way to make money. No one can tell exactly whether the shares will be doing well. The factory or company may do badly. Then the stocks will go down, and the investors will lose money. The stock may go up or down for a number of untold reasons. Everyone wants the stock to go up, but sometimes even if a factory or company does a good job, the stock may still go down.No wonder going to the stock market is often compared to gambling（赌博）.All are eager to make money by " gambling " in the stock market. Factories and companies that need money are pleased that so many people are willing to "gamble". Indeed, the stock market is an attractive and complex part of the business world.36. If you are a good investor, _____in the stock market.A.you can always make moneyB. you can tell exactly when the stock goes up or downC. you may sometimes lose moneyD. your gambling is always safe37. The passage mainly wants to tell us _____.A. how to buy or sell sharesB. A B C of stock marketC. the stock market is like gamblingD. investing money in the stock market is not the safest way38. Factories and companies are pleased that so many people "gamble" because _____.A. they can make them richB. they need more people to work for themC. they need their money to do businessD. some people win and some lose39. The word "complex" in the last sentence probably means _____.A. completeB. WorthyC. difficultD. modernB"As I stood in front of the grave(墓)of President Richard Nixon, I was thinking about the time 25 years ago when this president helped bring the United States and China closer together. Young people of our two countries should help this relationship grow."This remark was made by a Shanghai student when speaking to his fellow students at the Nixon Library in California, U.S.A. He was one of 80 middle school students from China attending a month-long "Youth Summit". The Summit was to mark the 25th anniversary （周年）of President Nixon's journey to China, which was the turning point in China-U.S. relations.The Youth Summit was aimed at increasing understanding and friendship between young students of the two countries through visits and discussions. Seventy-five American students were selected to visit China. They also visited the Nixon Library on July 21 before leaving for Beijing the next day. The head of the Library said he was pleased to see the American and Chinese students talking and laughing together.One Chinese student said, "I didn't find it particularly difficult to talk with Americans. We have our differences, but we have a lot in common. Dialogue is good for us."40. The works "Youth Summit" refer to _____.A. visits to the Nixon LibraryB. the Chinese students' visit to the U.S.C. a meeting discussing relations between China and the U.S.D. activities to strengthen the ties between the Chinese and American students41.

My mother used to sit by my side, and explain each paragraph of each school reading assignment to me because I didn’t understand what I was reading. She would have to read each paragraph tome, and then after each paragraph, she summarized what we just read.In class, I tried to hide the fact that I could’t read. My teachers gave us the last 10 minutes of class to start our reading homework, and I would sit there for the last ten minutes of class starting at the page, pretending I was reading it—I remember a terrible feeling of not wanting to get in trouble for not being able to comprehend. I had to wait until I got home so my mother could explain it to me. How did I ever get into Cornell University? By eighth grade I started understanding a little on my own, but I was reading at an incredibly slow rate. In eighth grade, I got hold of all the speed reading books I could get my hands on. I read them all very slowly at the time. I even went out and took a course on speed reading. Then I developed my own system which was easier and produced quicker results. I started practicing these techniques every day, and as I started to read faster, my understanding increased. I found that I stopped daydreaming and thinking about other things while I was reading, and started getting the larger meaning. I was reading faster and comprehending better.I found that when you read slowly, word by word, you get lost in the world, lose the bigger picture, and your comprehension drops. When you read faster, your concentration actually increases and your comprehension goes up because instead of getting lost in the words, you see the overall picture.1 The main difficulty and writer had in reading in her 7th grade was that _____a.she often forget her school reading assignmentsb.she had difficulty reading with comprehensionc.she had a poor vocabulary and very bad grammard.she always looked elsewhere when asked to read2The writer would pretend to be reading in the last 10 minutes of class because______a.she was afraid of being found outb.the reading class was terriblec.she had to do what others were doingd.her mother told her to do so3The writer’s reading ability improved a great deal mainly because _____a.she entered Cornell Universityb.she took a course on speed readingc.her mother managed to help her outd.she developed her own way of reading4From her own experience, the writer found that ________a.one’s comprehension drops if one reads too slowlyb.in order to understand better, one has to read slowlyc.one tends to neglect the detailed information if one reads fastd.many people read fast in order to save time5After reading the passage, we can conclude that the writer wrote the passage in order to_______a.convince the readers of the importance of higher educationb.tell a story in honor of her motherc.give a detailed description of different reading skillsd.illustrate the necessity of fast reading1-5 b a d a dPassage 2If we were asked exactly what were doing a year ago, we should probably have to say that we could not remember. But if we had kept a book and had written in it an account of what we did each day, we should be able give an answer to the question. It is the same in history. Many things have been forgotten because we do not have any written account of them. Sometimes men did keep a record of the most important happenings in their country, but often it was destroyed by fire or in a war. Sometimes there was never any written record at all because the people of that time and place did not know how to write. For example, we know a good deal about the people who lived in China 4,000 years ago, because they could write and leave written records for those who lived after them. But we know almost nothing about the people who lived even 200 years ago in central Africa, because they had not learned to write.Sometimes, of course, even if the people cannot write, they may know something of the past. They have heard about if from older people, and often songs and dances and stories have been made about the most important happenings, and these have been sung and acted and told for many generations. For most people are proud to tell what their fathers did in the past. This we may call ‘remembered history’. Some of it has now been written down. It is not so exact or so valuable to us as written history is, because words are much more easily changed when used again and again in speech than when copied inwriting. But where there are no written records, such spoken stories are often very helpful.6. Which of the following ideas is not suggested in the passage?a.“Remembered history”, compared with written history, is less reliable.b.Written records of the past play the most important role in our learning of the human history.c.A written account of our daily activities helps us to be able to answer many questionsd.Where there are no written records, there is no history7. We know very little about the central Africa 200 years ago because ______a.there was nothing worth being written down at that timeb.the people there ignored the importance of keeping a recordc.the written records were perhaps destroyed by a fired.the people there did not know how to write8. “Remembered history” refers to________a.history based on a person’s imaginationb.stories of important happenings passed down from mouth to mouthc.songs and dances about the most important eventsd.both b and c9. “Remembered history” is regarded as valuable only when ______a. it is written downb. no written account is availablec. it proves to be trued. people are interested in it10. The passage suggests that we could have learned much more about our past than we do now if the ancient people had ______a.kept a written record of every past eventb.not burnt their written records in warsc.told exact stories of the most important happeningsd.made more songs and dances6-10 d d d b aPassage 3Do you have bright ideas? Ideas for inventions that change society or, at least, make life easier for somebody? Perhaps we all do sometimes, but we don’t often make the idea a reality. Recently, in Britain, there was a competition called British Designers for Tomorrow. The competition encouraged young people to carry out their bright ideas. There were two groups in the contest: Group One was for schoolchildren under 116; Group Two was for schoolchildren over 16. And there were eleven prize-winners altogether.Nei Hunt, one of the prize-winner, was called “Sunshine Superman” by one newspaper writing about his design. It’s important, when people study the weather, to be able to record sunshine accurately. We need to know how many hours of sunshine we have and how strong it is. Most sunshine recorders only record direct sunlight. Nei’s is more accurate and this is very important for research into ways of using solar power. With his prize of ￡100, Nei plans to carry on inventing.You can do so much with animation (动画⽚). Look at Simon West’s idea for animated road signs. He uses pictures with appear to move as you go nearer to or farther from them. This isn’t a new idea. But it is new to use these pictures on road signs. “We found that people were more likely to see moving signs,” said Simon. So now, you can really see rocks falling, trains moving, horses galloping or a car falling over the edge of cliff. Quite a warning!The ideas in the competition were so inventive that we are surprised that British industry doesn’t ask more schoolchildren for suggestions. Perhaps this will be the start of “pupil power”!11.______was carried out recently in Britain.a. A c o m p e t i t i o n a m o n g s c h o o l c h i l d r e n b r > b .

Mark your answer on the ANSWER SHEET by drawing a thick line across theThe dog, called Prince, was an intelligent animal and a slave to Williams. From morning till night, when Williams was at home, Prince never left his sight, practically ignoring all other members of the family. The dog had a number of clearly defined duties, for which Williams had patiently trained him and, like the good pupil he was, Prince lived for the chance to demonstrate his abilities.When Williams wanted to put on his boots, he would murmur “Boots” and within seconds the dog would drop them at his feet. At nine every morning, Prince ran off to the general store in the village, returning shortly not only with Williams' daily paper butsoft mouth specially evolved for the safe carrying of huntedcreatures, so the paper and the tobacco came to no harm, neverWilliams was a railwayman, an engine driver, and he wore a blue uniform which smelled of oil and oil fuel. He had to work at odd times —“days”, “late days” or “nights”. Over the years Prince got to know these periods of work and rest, knew when his master would leave the house and return, and the dog did not waste this knowledge. If Williams overslept, as he often did, Prince barked at the bedroom door until he woke, much to the annoyance of the family. On his return, Williams' slippers were brought to him, the paper and tobacco too if previouslyA curious thing happened to Williams during the snow and ice of last winter. One evening he slipped and fell on the icy pavement somewhere between the village and his home. He was so badly shaken that he stayed in bed for three days; and not until he got up and dressed again did he discover that he had lost his wallet containing over fifty pounds. The house was turned upside down in the search, but the wallet was not found. However, two days later—that was five days after the fall—Prince dropped the wallet into William's hand.

There are different forms of colour blindness. A man may not be able to see deep red.He may think that red, orange and yellow are all shades of green. Sometimes a person cannot tell the difference between blue and green. In rare cases an unlucky man may see everything in shades of green—In certain occupations colour blindness can be dangerous and candidates are tested most carefully. For example, when fighting at night, soldiers use lights of flares to signal to each other. A green light may mean “Advance” and a red light may mean “Danger! Keep back!”, You can see what will happen ifsomebody thinks that red is green! Colour blindness in human beings is a strange thing to explain. In a single eye there are millions of very small things called “cones”, These help to see in a bright light and to tell the difference between colours. There are also millions of “rods” but these are used for seeing when it is nearly dark. They show us shape but not colour. Wait until it is dark tonight, then go outside. Look round you and try to seeBirds and animals which hunt at night have eyes which contain few or no cones at all, so they cannot see colours. As far as we know, bats and adult owls cannot see colours at all only light and dark shapes. Similarly cats and dogs cannot see colours asseem grey and dull to us, but to insects they may appear beautiful, showing colours which we cannot see. Scientists know that there are other colours around us which insects can see but which we cannot see. Some insects have favorite colours. Mosquitoes like blue, but do not like yellow.

It is always much better to tell a story than read it out of a book, and, if a parent can produce what, in the actual circumstances of the time and the individual child, is an improvement on the printed text, so much the better.A charge made against fairy tales is that they harm the child by frightening him or arousing his sadistic impulses. To prove the latter, one would have to show in a controlled experiment that children who have read fairy stories were more often guilty of cruelty than those who had not. Aggressive, destructive, sadistic impulses every child has and, on the whole, their symbolicverbal discharge seems to be rather a safety valve than an incitement to overt action. As to fears, there are, I think,rously terrified by some fairy stories. Often, however, this arises from the child having heard the story once. Familiarity with the story by repetition turns the pain of fear into the pleasure of a fearThere are also people who object to fairy stories on the grounds that they are not objectively true, that giants, witches,instead of indulging his fantasies in fairy tales, the child should be taught how to adapt to reality by studying history and mechanics. I find such people, I must confess, so unsympathetic and peculiar that I do not know how to argue with them. If their case were sound, the world should be full of madmen attempting to fly from New York to Philadelphia on a broomstick or covering a telephone with kisses in the belief that it was theirNo fairy story ever claimed to be a description of the external56.

For questions 61 to 65, match the name of each person (1 to 5) to one of the statements (A to G) given below. Markyour answers on your ANSWER SHEET.If you smoke and you still don't believe that there's a definite link between smoking and bronchial troubles, heart disease and lung cancer, then you are certainly deceiving yourself. Just have a look at those people in hospital with these diseases and count how many of them do not smoke, you may be surprised at the number. Even these few people might be passive smokers without realising it.Tobacco is a wonderful commodity to tax. It's almost like a tax on our daily bread. In tax revenue alone, the government of Britain collects enough from smokers to pay for its entire educational facilities. So while the authorities point out ever so carefully that smoking may be harmful, it doesn't do to shout too loudly about it.The advertising of tobacco is one of the problems. We are never shown pictures of real smokers coughing up their lings early in the morning. That would never do. The advertisements alwaysmanly to smoke, even positively healthy! Smoking is associatedwith the great open air life, with beautiful girls, true love and togetherness.Of course tobacco can help government to raise money. However, while money is eagerly collected in vast sums with one hand, it is paid out in increasingly vaster sums with the other. Enormous amounts are spent on cancer research and on efforts to cure people suffering from the disease. Countless valuable lives are lost. In the long run, there is no doubt that everybody would be much better off if smoking were banned altogether.Smoking can provide constant consolation. When I feel worried or nervous, I just get a cigarette and everything seem to get right. After a day's hard work, the thing I want to do most is smoking. It can be even better with a cup of coffee. It's so enjoyable and relaxing that it relieves stresses of every day life. So why botherNow match each of the people (1 to 5) to the appropriate61. Hadley C63.65.

Reading Comprehension (40 points)Directions: There are four passages in this part. 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.Passage OneChildren in the United States are exposed to many influences other than that of their families. Television is the most significant of these influences, because the habit of watching television usually begins before children start attending school. And, by the time that the average child finishes high school, he or she will have spent 18,000 hours in front of a television set as opposed to 12,000 hours in a classroom.Parents are concerned about these figures. They are also concerned about the lack of quality in television programs for children. The degree of violence in many of these shows also worries them. Even if it is unreal—a cartoon cat beating up a cartoon mouse with a baseball bat—this violence may have a negative effect on the young minds exposed to it. Studies indicate that, when children are exposed to violence, they may become aggressive or insecure.Parents are also concerned about the commercials that their children see on television. Many parents would like to see fewer commercials during programs for children. And some parents feel that these shows should not have any commercials at all because young minds are not mature enough to deal with the claims made by advertisers.Educational television has no commercials and has programs for children that many parents approve of. The most famous of these is “Sesame Street”, which tries to give preschool children a head start in learning the alphabet and numbers. It also tries to teach children useful things about the world in which they live.Even though most parents and educators give “Sesame Street” and shows like it high marks for quality, some critics argue that all television, whether educational or not, is harmful to children. Thesecritics feel that the habit of watching hours of television every day turns children into bored and passive consumers of their world rather than encouraging them to become active explorers of it.We still do not know enough about the effects of watching television to be able to say whether or not it is good for children. Until we do, perhaps it would be wise to put a warning on television sets such as the one on cigarette packages: “Caution: Watching Too Much Television May Be Harmful to Your Child’s Developing Mind.”41. We can infer from the text that _______.A. parents are strongly opposed to children watching TVB. a cartoon program is not harmful if it is not realC. children may imitate what they have seen on televisionD. the quality of children’s programs is not the parents’ main concern42. Which of the following is NOT mentioned in the text about some parents’ attitudes toward commercials?A. Children should never watch commercials on TV.B. Advertisers are not always telling truth in commercials.C. Children can benefit from some commercials.D. There shouldn’t be too many commercials in children’s programs.43. Some critics argue that children should not watch TV because _______.A. they can learn little from educational programsB. TV programs are of poor qualityC. there is too much violence on TVD. watching TV makes their way of life passive44. Which of the following is the author’s opinion?A. We should limit the children’s time in watching TV.B. We should improve educational programs for children.C. No commercials should be shown in children’s programs.D. TV programs may prevent children from developing their minds.45. The best title for the text would be _______.A. Education and TelevisionB. Children and TelevisionC. Bad Influence of TelevisionD. TV Programs for ChildrenPassage TwoThe tanker lay in the bay for four days, a few hundred meters from the shore. In this tideless water she lay as still and secure as if fastened to a wall. In a way, she was, for the sandy bottom held her in its grip. Twice the harbor master’s boat went out to her; the second time it brought off a number of the crew. It never occurred to the watchers on shore that the ship was in danger, she looked so calm and seaworthy. From time to time there was activity on board: when a land wind rose in the evenings, the tanker’s engines came to life. Then the vessel shook herself and strained fiercely, but none of it did her any good. She just stayed where she was in the bay.The July sun blazed down on her flat decks. Occasionally a seaman, stripped to the waist, came out on to the deck with the movements of someone performing a complicated dance, stepping lightly, never resting on that burning metal. Once or twice he kept close to the ship’s rail, with an arm raised against the sunlight, staring at the people on the beach. Throughout the day the air rose in visible waves from the tanker’s decks. When a sea wind blew, it brought with it the heavy smell of oil. At night the ship lay in total darkness.On the fifth morning a thick bank of sea mist filled the bay. It seemed that the tanker had got away in the night and gone into harbor. But this was an illusion. Slowly, as the fog cleared a little, she came into view again but farther out. Soon two figures could be seen at work on her decks. There was the sound of hammering, of metal and then of something heavy falling on to the deck. At once the watchers on shore were half blinded by a flash of yellow light that enveloped the ship from end to end. The explosion that followed the flash was like a single crack from a giant whip. In a moment the ship, except for a dark line at water level, was lost to sight behind the flames.Two bodies were washed ashore in the bay. They were stripped to the waist, bare footed, and black with flash bums. The right arm of one body was raised to the forehead as if shielding the eyes from some bright light. The other man wore a gold chain round his neck. The tanker burned for nine days and nights.46. The tanker could not sail into the harbor because _______.A. the tide was not suitableB. she had run aground on sandC. her engines had broken downD. most of her crew had gone ashore47. The people who were watching from the beach _______.A. offered to help without knowing what to doB. did not want to put themselves in any dangerC. realized the trouble but could do nothing about itD. did not know there was something wrong with th, e ship48. The seaman moved like dancing on the deck because _______.A. he was doing some physical exerciseB. that was the best way to keep balanceC. the deck was uncomfortable to stand onD. he wanted to attract the watchers’ attention49. The explosion occurred on the tanker when _______.A. she was struck by lightningB. two seamen were workingC. she was unloading her oilD. the fog began to clear up50. What happened to the two seamen in the end?A. They were killed in the explosion.B. They survived but were badly burned.C. They died shortly after reaching the beach.D. They were blown off the ship and swam ashore.Passage ThreeThe rate of population growth is fastest in underdeveloped countries. In these countries a high birthrate is accompanied by a lowered death rate thanks to improved standards of public health. Ideally it should be possible to counter balance the effect of a reduced death rate by an increased use of family planning. In practice, however, population control is a complex matter. Throughout history people have determined the size of their families according to the cultural values of their societies.Population control has long been a subject of discussion among researchers. Some have argued that the supply of good land is limited. In order to feed a large population, bad land must be cultivated and the good land overworked. As a result, each person produces less in a given amount of time and this means a lower average income than could be obtained with a smaller population. Other researchers have argued that a large population gives more scope for the development of facilities such as sports, roads and railways, which are not likely to be built unless there is a big demand to justify them. Similarly, it can be argued that the public costs of society will not be so heavy to each individual if they are shared among the members of a large population.One of the difficulties in implementing birth control lies in the fact that the official attitudes to population growth vary from country to country. In underdeveloped countries where a large population is pressing hard upon the limits of food, space and natural resources, it will be the first concern of government to place a limit on the birthrate. In a well developed society the problem may be more complex. A declining birthrate may lead to unemployment because it results in a shrinking market. Cities with a declining population may have to face the prospect of a shrinking tax base and a fall in land values. If there are fewer children going to school, teachers may be thrown out of work. When the pressure of population on housing declines, prices also decline and the building industry is weakened. Faced with considerations such as these, the government of a developed country may well prefer to see a slowly increasing population, rather than one which is stable or in decline.51. One reason for quick population increase in underdeveloped countries is that _______.A. those countries encourage people to have large familiesB. people can get government support if they have more kidsC. improved public health standards have reduced death rate greatlyD. those countries have enough resources to support a large population52. The writer suggests that policy makers should consider cultural values _______.A. in carrying out family planningB. in producing birth control drugsC. in improving public health standardsD. in introducing birth control techniques53. A large population in an underdeveloped country may lead to _______.A. a rise in work efficiencyB. a shortage of farm workersC. a decline in grain productionD. a reduction in average income54. Some people believe that population control in developed countries may _______.A. increase market demandB. lower unemployment rateC. slow down economic growthD. create more job opportunities55. According to the writer, developed countries prefer _______.A. a standstill populationB. a fast increasing populationC. a slowly growing populationD. a steadily decreasing populationPassage FourThe United States is a country made up of many different races. Usually they are mixed together and can’t be told one from another. But many of them still talk about where their ancestors came from. It is something they are proud of.The original Americans, of course, were the Indians. The so called white men who then came were mostly from England. But many came from other countries like Germany and France.One problem the United States has always had is discrimination. As new groups came to the United States they found they were discriminated against. First it was the Irish and Italians. Later it was the blacks. Almost every group has been able to eventually escape this discrimination. The only immigrants who have not are the blacks. Surprisingly enough the worst discrimination today is shown towards the Indians.One reason the Indians are discriminated against is that they have tried so hard to keep their identity. Of course they are not the only ones who have done so. The Japanese have their Little Tokyo in Los Angeles and the Chinese a Chinatown in New York. The Dutch settlement in Pennsylvania also stays separate from other people. Their towns are like something from the 19th century. They have a different reason from the other groups for staying apart. They live separately for religious reasons rather than keeping together in a racial group.Although some groups have kept themselves separate and others have been discriminated against, all groups have helped make the United States a great country. There is no group that has not helped in some way. And there is no group that can say they have done the most to make it a great country.Many people still come from other countries to help the United States grow. A good example is the American project that let a man walk on the moon. It was a scientist from Germany who was most responsible for doing that.
