Interpretation (20%)Read the following selections and then answer the questions.(1)Who are these coming to the sacrifice?To what green altar, O mysterious priest,Lead’st thou that heifer lowing at the skies,And all her silken flanks with garlands drest?What little town by river or sea shore,Or mountain-built with peaceful citadel,Is emptied of this folk, this pious morn?And, little town, thy streets for evermoreWill silent be; and not a soul to tellWhy thou art desolate, can e’er return.O Attic shape! Fair attitude! with bredeOf marble men and maidens overwrought,With forest branches and the trodden weed;Thou, silent form, dost tease us out of thoughtAs doth eternity: Cold Pastoral!When old age shall this generation waste,Thou shalt remain, in midst of other woeThan ours, a friend to man, to whom thou say’st,“Beauty is truth, truth beauty,”—that is all6Ye know on earth, and all ye need to know.1. What is the title of this poem? Who is the author?2. What contrast is shown in the poem?(2)She was expressing in her own native phrases —assisted a little by her Sixth Standard training —feelings which might almost have been called those of the age: the ache of modernism. The perception arrested him less when he reflected that what are called advanced ideas are really in great part but the latest fashion in definition-a more accurate expression, by words in logy and ism, of sensations which men and women have vaguely grasped for centuries.Still, it was strange that they should have come to her while yet so young; more than strange; it was impressive, interesting, pathetic. Not guessing the cause, there was nothing to remind him that experience is as to intensity, and not as to duration. Tess’s passing corporeal blight had been her mental harvest.Tess, on her part, could not understand why a man of clerical family and good education, and above physical want, should look upon it as a mishap to be alive. For the unhappy pilgrim herself there was very good reason. But how could this admirable and poetic man ever have descended to the Valley of Humiliation, have felt with the man of Uz —as she herself had felt two or three years ago —“My soul chooseth strangling and death rather than my life. I loathe it; I would not live alway.”It was true that he was at present out of his class. But she knew that was only because, like Peter the Great in a shipwright’s yard, he was studying what he wanted to know. He did not milk cows because he was obliged to milk cows, but because he was learning how to be a rich and prosperous dairyman, landowner, agriculturist, and breeder of cattle.3. Which novel is this passage taken from? Who’s the author?4. What does it mean by Tess’s passing corporeal blight in the passage?(3)After filling his mouth with household bread, stale, he at once began: “How are you going down to Robin Hill? You going to take Irene? You’d better take her. I should think there’ll be a lot that’ll want seeing to.”Without looking up, Soames answered: “She won’t go.”7“Won’t go? What’s the meaning of that? She’s going to live in the house, isn’t she?”Soames made no reply.“I don’t know what’s coming to women nowadays,”mumbled James; “I never used to have any trouble with them. She’s had too much liberty. She’s spoiled——”Soames lifted his eyes: “I won’t have anything said against her,”he said unexpectedly.The silence was only broken now by the supping of James’s soup.The waiter brought the two glasses of port, but Soames stopped him.“That’s not the way to serve port,”he said; “take them away, and bring the bottle.”Rousing himself from his reverie over the soup, James took one of his rapid shifting surveys of surrounding facts.“Your mother’s in bed,”he said; “you can have the carriage to take you down. I should think Irene’d like the drive. This young Bosinney’ll be there, I suppose, to show you over?”Soames nodded.“I should like to go and see for myself what sort of a job he’s made finishing off,”pursued James. “I’ll just drive round and pick you both up.”“I am going down by train,”replied Soames. “If you like to drive round and see, Irene might go with you, I can’t tell.”5. Please give a brief comment on the relationship between Soames and Irene.Part V. Give brief answers to the following questions(15%).1. Please state Henry Fielding’s major contributions in novel writing.2. Make a brief comment on the relationship between the mother and son in Lawrence’s Sons and Lovers.8。

As is the saying of the wise, “All that cometh is vanity.”This fair is no new-erected business, but a thing of ancient standing; I will show you the original of it.Almost five thousand years agone, there were pilgrims walking to the Celestial City, as theses two honest persons are; and Beelzebub, Apollyon, and Legion, with their companions, perceiving by the path that the pilgrims made, that their way to the city lay through this town of Vanity, they contrived to set up a fair; a fair wherein should be sold all sorts of vanity, and that it should last all the year long. Therefore at this fair are all such merchandise sold, as houses, land, trades, places, honors, preferments, titles, countries, kingdoms, lusts, pleasures, and delights of all sorts, as whores, bawds, wives, husbands, children, masters, servants, lives, blood, bodies, souls, silver, gold, pearls, precious stones, and what not.And , moreover, at this fair here is at all times to be seen jugglings, cheats, games, plays, fools, apes, knaves, and rogues, and that of every kind.Here are to be seen, too, and that for nothing, thefts, murders, adulteries, false swearers, and that of a blood-red colour.1. Which book is this passage taken from? Who is the author?2. What kind of fair is the Vanity Fair in the passage?(2)“Who, who?”cries Tom; but without waiting for an answer, having discovered the features of his Molly through all the discomposure in which they now were, he hastily alighted, turned his horse loose, and, leaping over the wall, ran to her. She now first bursting into tears, told him how barbarously she had been treated.Upon which, forgetting the sex of Goody Brown, or perhaps not knowing it in his rage—for, in reality, she had no feminine appearance but a petticoat, which he6might not observe—he gave her a lash or two with his horsewhip; and then flying at the mob, who were all accused by Moll, he dealt his blows so profusely on all sides, that unless I would again invoke the Muse (which the good-natured reader may think a little too hard upon her, as she hath so lately been violently sweated), it would be impossible for me to recount the horsewhipping of that day.Having scoured the whole coast of the enemy, as well as any of Homer’s horses ever did, or as Don Quixote or any knight-errant in the world could have done, he returned to Molly, whom he found in a condition which must give both me and my reader pain, was it to be described here. Tom raved like a madman, beat his breast, tore his hair, stamped on the ground, and vowed the utmost vengeance on all who had been concerned.He then pulled off his coat, and buttoned it round her, put his hat upon her head, wiped the blood from her face as well as he could with his handkerchief, and called out to the servant to ride as fast as possible for a side-saddle, or a pillion, that he might carry her safe home.Master Blifil objected to the sending away the servant, as they had only one with them; but as Square seconded the order of Jones, he was obliged to comply.The servant returned in a very short time with the pillion, and Molly, having collected her rags as well as she could, was placed behind him. In which manner she was carried home, Square, Blifil, and Jones attending.Here Jones having received his coat, given her a sly kiss, and whispered her, that he would return in the evening, quitted his Molly, and rode on after his companions.3. What can be seen about the hero Tom’s character from this accident?4. How do you comment on the art form of the novel?(3)She dwelt among the untrodden waysBeside the springs of Dove,A Maid whom there were none to praiseAnd very few to love:A violet by a mossy stoneHalf hidden from the eye!—Fair as a star, when only one7Is shining in the sky.She lived unknown, and few could knowWhen Lucy ceased to be;But she is in her grave, and, oh,The difference to me!5. What is the theme of this poem?Part V. Give brief answers to the following questions. (15%)1. Make a brief comment on the major features of Jane Austen’s novel writing.2. Make a comment on the themes of Ulysses by James Joyce.8。

Interpretation (20%)Read the following selections and then answer the questions.(1)I will arise and go now, and go to Innisfree,And a small cabin build there, of clay and wattles made:Nine bean-rows will I have there, a hive for the honeybee,And live alone in the bee-loud glade.And I shall have some peace there, for peace comes dropping slow,Dropping from the veils of the morning to where the cricket sings;There midnight’s all a glimmer, and noon a purple glow,And evening full of the linnet’s wings.I will arise and go now, for always night and dayI hear lake water lapping with low sounds by the shore;While I stand on the roadway, or on the pavements gray,I hear it in the deep heart’s core.1. What does “Innisfree”refer to?2. What is the central idea of this short poem?(2)Who’d stoop to blameThis sort of trifling? Even had you skillIn speech—(which I have not)—to make your willQuite clear to such an one, and say, “Just thisOr that in you disgusts me; here you miss,Or there exceed the mark”—and if she letHerself be lessoned so, nor plainly setHer wits to yours, forsooth, and made excuse—E’en then would be some stooping; and I chooseNever to stoop. Oh sir, she smiled, no doubt,Whene’er I passed her; but who passed without5Much the same smile? This grew; I gave commands;Then all smiles stopped together. There she standsAs if alive. Will’t please you rise? We’ll meetThe company below, then. I repeat,The Count your master’s known munificenceIs ample warrant that no just pretenceOf mine for dowry will be disallowed;Though his fair daughter’s self, as I avowedAt starting, is my object.

What kind of person is he?(3)“I grieve to leave Thornfield: I love Thornfield:—I love it, because I have lived in it a full and delightful life,—momentarily at least. I have not been trampled on. I have not been petrified.I have not been buried with inferior minds, and excluded from every glimpse of communion with what is bright, and energetic, and high. I have talked, face to face, with what I reverence: with what I delight in—with an original, a vigorous, an expanded mind. I have known you, Mr. Rochester; and it strikes me with terror and anguish to feel I absolutely must be torn from you for ever. I see the necessity of departure; and it is like looking on the necessity of death.”“Where do you see the necessity?”he asked, suddenly.“Where? You, sir, have placed it before me.”“In what shape?”“In the shape of Miss Ingram; a noble and beautiful woman—your bride.”“My bride! What bride? I have no bride!”“But you will have.”“Yes;—I will! —I will!”He set his teeth.“Then I must go:—you have said it yourself.”“No: you must stay! I swear it—and the oath shall be kept.”“I tell you I must go!”I retorted, roused to something like passion. “Do you think I can6stay to become nothing to you? Do you think I am an automaton?—a machine without feelings? And can bear to have my morsel of bread snatched from my lips, and my drop of living water dashed from my cup? Do you think, because I am poor, obscure, plain, and little, I am soulless and heartless? You think wrong!—I have as much soul as you—and full as much heart! And if God had gifted me with some beauty and much wealth, I should have made it as hard for you to leave me, as it is now for me to leave you. I am not talking to you now through the medium of custom, conventionalities, or even of mortal flesh:—it is my spirit that addresses your spirit; just as if both had passed through the grave, and we stood at God’s feet, equal—as we are!”5. What does Jane Eyre want to declare with her revolting against Mr. Rochester?Part V. Give brief answers to the following questions(15%).1. Sum up the characteristics of George Eliot’s literary works.2. What are the essential characteristics of modernism?7。

There I was, walking home at one in the morning after a tiring practice at the theatre. With opening night only a week ago, I was still learning my lines. I was having trouble dealing with my part-time job at the bank and my acting at night at the same time. As I walked, I thought seriously about giving up both acting and San Francisco. City life had become too much for me.As I walked down empty streets under tall buildings, I felt very small and cold. I began running, both to keep warm and to keep away from any possible robbers. Very few people were still out except a few sad-looking homeless people under blankets.About a block from my apartment, I heard a sound behind me. I turned quickly, half expecting to see someone with a knife or a gun. The street was empty. All I saw was a shining streetlight. Still, the noise had made me nervous, so I started to run faster. Not until I reached my apartment, building and unlocked the door did I realize what the noise had been. It had been my wallet falling to the sidewalk.Suddenly I wasn't cold or tired anymore. I ran out of the door and back to where I'd heard the noise. Although I searched the sidewalk anxiously for fifteen minutes, my wallet was nowhere to be found.Just as I was about to give up the search, I heard the garbage truck pull up to the sidewalk next to me. When a voice called from the inside, "Alisa Camacho? " I thought I was dreaming. How could this man know my name? The door opened, and out jumped a small red-haired man with an amused look in his eye. "Is this what you're looking for? "he asked, holding up a small square shape.It was nearly 3 A.M. by the time I got into bed. I wouldn't get much sleep that night, but I had gotten my wallet back. I also had gotten back some enjoyment of city life. I realized that the city couldn't be a bad place as long as people were willing to help each other.(1) How did the write feel when she was walking home after work?A. Cold and sickB. Fortunate and helpfulC. Satisfied and cheerfulD. Disappointed and helpless(2) From the first paragraph, we learn that the write was busy.A. solving her problem at the bankB. taking part in various city activitiesC. learning acting in an evening schoolD. preparing for the first night show(3) On her way home the writer.A. lost her wallet unknowinglyB. was stopped by a garbage truck driverC. was robbed of her wallet by an armed manD. found some homeless people following her(4) In the fifth paragraph, why did the writer say she was dreaming?A. Someone offered to take her back home.B. A red-haired man came to see her.C. She heard someone call her name.D. Her wallet was found in a garbage truck.(5) From the text, we can infer that the writer.A. would stop working at nightB. would stay on in San FranciscoC. would make friends with cleanersD. would give up her job at the bank18、【来源】 2004年高考真题浙江卷(B篇)第61~64题8分(每题2分)These days a green building means more than just the color of the paint. Green building can also refer to environmentally friendly houses, factories, and offices.Green building means "reducing the impact (影响)of TAL#NBSP the building on the land", Taryn Holowka of the U. S. Green Building Council in Washington, DC. Said.According to Holowka, buildings account for (占了) 65 percent of total U. S. electricity use.But green buildings can reduce energy and water use. Also, the buildings are often located near public transportation such as buses and subways, so that people can drive their cars less. That could be good for the environment, because cars use lots of gas and give off pollution. Green buildings are often built on developed land, so that the buildings don' t destroy forests.Marty Dettling is project manager for a building that put these ideas into action. The Solaire has been called the country's first green high-rise building. According to Dettling. "We've reduced our energy use by one-third and our water by 50 percent.The Solaire cuts energy in part by using solar power. "On the face of the building we have solar panels which change the sun's energy into electricity, " Dettling explained.The Solaire also has lights that automatically turn off when people leave the room. In addition the building has lots of windows, allowing people to use the sun for light during the day. The Solaire cuts water by reusing it.Not everyone is eager to move into a green building, however, Some people think that things like solar panels cost more money than traditional energy sources. Anyhow, Holowka said, "It's going to be big."(1) In the second paragraph, the underlined words "the building" most probably referto.A. an ordinary buildingB. an energy-saving buildingC. a green-colored buildingD. a building in Washington, D. C(2) A green building is often built on an area of land.A. which has thick forests aroundB. which has already been used for buildingsC. where people of high income liveD. where traveling around by car is most convenient(3) When Holowka says in the last paragraph, "It's going to be big", she means that greenbuildings.A. will be more comfortableB. will become popular in the futureC. will be more environmentally friendlyD. will take the place of traditional buildings(4) What is the main subject discussed in the text?A. Dettling designed the first green building in the U.S.B. Energy shortage calls for buildings of new design.C. Green buildings help save environment.D. The Solaire serves as a model of high buildings.19、【来源】 2004年高考真题浙江卷(C篇)第65~67题6分(每题2分)2019~2020学年吉林龙潭区吉化第一高级中学校高二上学期期末第21~23题6分Central ParkOutside among the trees, watch the wildlife—both the human and animal varieties, Call (212)360-3465 or (212)360-2726 for daily events and tours.

Because of this, most people think that craft (手艺) no longer exists.One of the ways these people wrongly support their view is by pointing to 100-year-old homes which are still solid, and arguing that it is the craftsmanship that is responsible for their durability (持久性). "Homes in those days were well-built, "they say. No doubt these homes were well-built, but what these people have done is mix up the quality of material used in the house with the quality of the craftsmanship.Homes today could be built to last just as long as those old homes if people were willing or able to pay the price. For example, more people can no longer afford solid oak stairways, although they were once fairly common in older homes. Nor can they afford the high labor cost of employing a carpenter (木匠)to build the stairway. Yet if someone can pay the high cost, there are still plenty of carpenters around able to make those stairways. And not only would these carpenters know how to build them, they would probably do a better job than carpenters of old.One thing the modern carpenter has which enables him to do a better job is much more advanced tools. Such tools as laser beams and power planes help them lay out a house better and make more precision cuts (精确切割) on the wood. Also, it is not uncommon any more to find carpenters with college degrees and carpenters with a solid knowledge of mathematics, which would enable them to deal with more difficult house designs.The problem of modern quality, then, really boils down to the problem of material, for the modern carpenter is just as able to produce craftsmanship as the carpenter of fifty years ago, but only if given proper material.(1) Compared to the carpenters in the past, modern carpenters are.A. more learnedB. more successfulC. more imaginativeD. more hardworking(2) What does the underlined word "they" (paragraph 2) refer to?A. carpenters who are fond of oak stairways.B. carpenters who have college degrees.C. people who think that modern material is of low quality.D. people who think highly of carpenters of old.(3) What does the third paragraph mainly discuss?A. People in the past preferred to use oak to build stairways.B. It is now expensive to employ a carpenter.C. Good carpenters still exist in modern times.D. Modern houses last as long as the old one.(4) What would be the best title for the text?A. Craft, Back to Life?B. Is Craft Dead?C. History of Craftsmanship.D. Carpenters Today and Yesterday21、【来源】 2004年高考真题浙江卷(E篇)第72~75题8分(每题2分)2018~2019学年10月北京海淀区首都师范大学附属中学高一上学期月考(A篇)第1~4题8分It was an early September day, cool and bright and just right for running, and I was in the first few miles of a 10-mile race over a course(路线)with a few high hills. Still, I felt energetic; despite the hills it was going to be a fine run.Just ahead of me was Peggy Mimno, a teacher from Mount Kiseo, New York. She too was running easily, moving along at my speed. The pace(步速)felt comfortable, so I decided to stay where I was; why pay attention to pace when she was setting such a nice one? I'd overtake(追上)her later on when she tired.So I ran behind her. The course headed north for miles, wandered west for a hilly mile, then turned south again along a winding road. The race was getting harder. We had four miles left and already it was beginning to be real work.Peggy overtook a young runner. She seemed to known him, for they exchanged a few cheerful words as she passed him. Their exchange worried me. You don't chat during a race unless you feeling good, and Peggy plainly was.Still, I was close enough to overtake her if she tired, so I didn't give up hope completely. We were getting nearer to a long, punishing hill now and it would be the test. We were a mile from the finish line, so whatever happened on the hill would almost determine who crossed it first.As I moved up the hill, my attention wandered for a few minutes. When I looked up, Peggy was moving away-first five yards, then ten, then more. Finally it was clear that there was no help of catching her. She beat me soundly.There is an important lesson in that race. Women are thought to be weaker, slower and not nearly as skilled in sport. Yet as Peggy Mimno so clearly showed, the similarities between men and women runners are more important than differences. I have run with a number of women, and I can say it is often hard work.(1) What did the writer think of the race in the beginning?A. It would be hard work.B. It would be an easy race.C. It would be a test of his strength.D. It would be a good learning experience.(2) What worried the writer when Peggy greeted the young runner?A. Peggy overtook the young runner.B. Peggy was running energetically.C. Peggy was laughing as the writer.D. Peggy paid no attention to the writer.(3) By saying "a long, punishing hill" (paragraph5), the writer implies that.A. Peggy would fail to reach the hilltopB. men are more skilled at climbing hillsC. overtaking Peggy would be easyD. climbing the hill would be a demanding task(4) What lesson does the writer learn from the race?A. Women are as good as men in sport.B. Women are better at climbing hills.C. He should have more training in a cross-country race.D. He should set a quicker pace at the beginning of a race.四、短文改错(每小题1分,共10分)22、【来源】 2004年高考真题浙江卷第76~85题10分(每题1分)此题要求改正所给短文中的错误。

Interpretation (20%)Read the following selections and then answer the questions.(1)Sunset and evening star,And one clear call for me!And may there be no moaning of the bar,When I put out to sea,But such a tide as moving seems asleep,Too full for sound and foam,When that which drew from out the boundless deepTurns again home.Twilight and evening bell,And after that the dark!And may there be no sadness of farewell,When I embark;For thought from out our bourne of Time and PlaceThe flood may bear me far,I hope to see my Pilot face to faceWhen I have crossed the bar.1. What is the title of this poem? Who is the author?2. What is the theme of this poem?(2)Some to conceit alone their taste confine,And glittering thoughts struck out at every line;Pleased with a work where nothing is just or fit,One glaring chaos and wild heap of wit.Poets like painters, thus unskilled to traceThe naked nature and the living grace,With gold and jewels cover every part,And hide with ornaments their want of art.True wit is Nature to advantage dressed,What oft was thought, but ne’er so well expressed;5Something whose truth convinced at sight we find,That gives us back the image of our mind.As shades more sweetly recommend the light,So modest plainness sets off sprightly wit;For works may have more wit than does them good,As bodies perish through excess of blood.3. What does “conceit”mean? What is the poet’s attitude toward “conceit in poetry”?4. What does the author think is the essence of a poem?(3)“What is his name?”“Bingley.”“Is he married or single?”“Oh! single, my dear, to be sure! A single man of large fortune; four or five thousand a year. What a fine thing for our girls!”“How so? how can it affect them?”“My dear Mr. Bennet,”replied his wife, “how can you be so tiresome! Y ou must know that I am thinking of his marrying one of them.”“Is that his design in settling here?”“Design! nonsense, how can you talk so! But it is very likely that he may fall in love with one of them, and therefore you must visit him as soon as he comes.”“I see no occasion for that. Y ou and the girls may go, or you may send them by themselves, which perhaps will be still better, for as you are as handsome as any of them, Mr. Bingley might like you the best of the party.”“My dear, you flatter me. I certainly have had my share of beauty, but I do not pretend to be any thing extraordinary now. When a woman has five grown up daughters, she ought to give over thinking of her own beauty.”“In such cases, a woman has not often much beauty to think of.”“But my dear, you must indeed go and see Mr. Bingley when he comes into the neighbourhood.”“It is more than I engage for, I assure you.”“But consider your daughters. Only think what an establishment it would be for one of them. Sir William and Lady Lucas are determined to go, merely on that account, for in general, you know they visit no newcomers. Indeed you must go, for it will be impossible for us to visit him, if you do not.”65.Please sum up the characterization of Mr. Bennet as seen from the given passage. Ⅴ. Give brief answers to the following questions.(15%)1. Make a brief comment on Christopher Marlowe’s literary achievements.2. What are the main characteristics of the Romantic Movement in Europe?7。

Reading comprehension(40%)Reading Passage 1It is becoming increasingly recognized that education is aprocess which continues throughout adult life. The scope of adultand continuing education has widened in recent years and now includes, in addition to the development of the individual through cultural, physical and craft pursuits, such subjects as basic education: education for disadvantaged groups and those with special needs such as ethnic minorities or the disabled; consumer education; health education; and pre-retirement education. Continuing educationincludes training for those in employment, to enable them to keeppace with technological change. The British government has taken a number of recent initiatives to improve opportunities for both adult and continuing education. In 1982 it launched a Professional, Industrial and Commercial Updating Program designed to help colleges and universities to meet the need to up-date and broaden the skillsof those in mid-career in industry, commerce and the professions. A three-year program to encourage the expansion of educational opportunities for the adult unemployed was launched in 1984. Apart from provision for mature students at universities, courses are provided by further education colleges, adult education centers, residential colleges, the Open Universities and various other bodies including a number of voluntary organizations. Most of the provision is made by the local education authorities in a wide variety of establishments, including schools used for adult evening classes and community schools which provide educational, social and cultural opportunities for the wider community. Most courses are part-time. Local authorities also maintain or aid many courses lasting between a weekend and a fortnight. Long-term residential colleges, grant-aided by central government departments, provide courses of one or two years and aim to provide a liberal education without academic entry tests. Most students admitted are entitled to full maintenancegrants.1. One of the tasks of continuing education is ________.A. to keep employees well informed of recent technological developmentsB. to help employees get promoted and pay increasedC. to widen employees’ knowledge of their country’s historyD. to make employees’ spare time activities rich a nd varied2. The word “initiatives” in Line 8 most probably means ________.A. plansB. offersC. measuresD. proposals3. The two programs launched by the British government are designed for ________.A. students and teachers in colleges and universitiesB. the employed and unemployed respectivelyC. the government employees in BritainD. the disadvantaged and the disabled4. Which of the following is mentioned in the passage?________A. Adult education might be replaced by other types of education.B. Many British young people can receive higher education without entrance examination.C. Only those who passed academic entry tests can get financial aid from the central government.D. The aid for improving adult and continuing education is provided by local and State governments.5. It can be concluded from the passage that ________.A. adult education will probably become the main type of education in Britain and other developed countriesB. the government should attach importance to various types of education to meet the needs of the changing worldC. higher education should meet the demands of the development of science and technologyD. high schools should produce more skilled studentsReading Passage 2Brain damage is forever, or so doctors once thought, but that long-standing medical axiom (公理) is now being proved wrong. In laboratories across the USA and Europe, researchers are finding that by creating the right chemical environment, and in some cases implanting new cells in the brain, damaged nervous systems can be coaxed (哄) to regenerate (再生). Even more encouraging is the discovery, so far shown only in animals, that cellular (细胞) re-growth can store lost mental functions, and , in addition, improve memory and learning.The latest achievement in this promising field is the work of Dr. Donald Stein and three colleagues at Clark University inWorcester Mass. As reported in last week’s issue of Science, the group attempted to restore mental functioning in 21 rats whose brains had been damaged by the removal of large sections of the frontal cortex (皮层空间). This function of the brain is involved in the learning of complex spatial (空间) relationships. Typically rats sustaining such a severe injury would take 18 days or more to master a maze (迷宫) that required them to alternate right and left turns in order to get a drink of water. Normal rats can learn the task in just 2. 5 days.Before attempting to repair the brain damage, Stein’s team waited a week to allow for the natural accumulation of healing proteins called nerve growth factors. Then they implanted a pinhead size lump of tissue that had taken from the frontal cortex of normal rat embryos (胎儿). The researchers used fetal (胎儿) cells because they are rich in growth factors and adapt easily to a new environment. Result of the operation: the brain-damaged rats were able to learn the maze in just 8. 5 days. While this is still slower than normal, says Stein,“the transplant was dearly producing some deg ree of functional recovery. ” Stein later found that new connections had grown between the transplanted tissue and the rest of the brain.According to Stein, the immediate lesson of his group’s experiment is that there is much more capacity for response to brain injury than previously thought.6. In this experiment, the damaged brains were healed ________.A. through surgeryB. by creating a favorable chemical environmentC. by placing new brain material in the damaged brainD. all of the above7. The rats described in the article ________.A. had accidental brain damageB. were at first incapable of learning the mazeC. had had part of their brains removedD. were superior to normal rats after the experiment8. The article inplies that ________.A. learning a maze depends upon the ability to learn spatial relationshipsB. damaged brains could never be returned to normalC. only fetal brain tissue is useable for brain regenerationD. normal rats could learn the maze even faster if implanted with brain tissue proteins9. Nerve growth factors are ________.A. conditions under which brain cell can regenerateB. a chemical environment which induces brain cell enlargementC. proteins which can be used by the tissueD. none of the above10. According to Dr. Stein the experiment shows that ________.A. human brain damage is repairableB. a damaged brain does make some attempt to heal itselfC. brain damage does not necessarily mean a lot of functionalabilityD. animal brains, such as a rat’s, are better able to repair themselves than human brainsReading Passage 3Newspapers in Great Britain vary greatly in their ways ofcarrying the news. There are serious papers for those who want to know about important happenings everywhere, both at home andabroad. There are popular newspapers for those who prefer entertainment to information.The London newspaper that is best known outside Great Britain is probably The Times . It began in 1785, and has a high reputationfor reliable news and serious opinions on the news. It calls itself an independent paper, which means that it does not give its supports to a particular party. Its leading articles give the opinions of the editor, not those of the owners of the paper.Letters to the editor are printed in parts of thenewspaper. These parts of The Times are always interesting. Mostof the letters are on serious subjects, but from time to time there will be long letters on the subject which is not at all serious, perhaps on a new fashion of dress, or the bad manners of the young people compared with the manners of the people thirty years ago.In addition to the London daily newspapers, there are other papers. The two London evening papers, the Evening News and the Evening Standard, are sold not only at the ordinary newsagents’ shops, but always stay by their piles of papers. However, the newspaper sellers sometimes go away and leave their papers. Passers-by help themselves to the paper they want, and leave the price of the paper in a box. There are dishonest people in London, but no one thinks it is worth robbing a newspaper seller of a few coins.11. If you want to entertain yourself, please buy yourself ________.A. a popular newspaperB. a serious newspaperC. a foreign newspaperD. any independent paper12. The main reason why The Times is a newspaper of high reputationis that ________.A. it is well known outside Great BritainB. news carried in the paper can be accepted as trueC. the first paper of The Times was published in 1785D. it provides readers with many articles on serious news13. The Times is an independent paper, for ________.A. it doesn’t speak in favor of a certain political pa rtyB. it doesn’t support all the political partiesC. it is not controlled by the British governmentD. the editors’ opinions are not examined by the owners of the paper14. What can we infer from the third paragraph?A. Writing on the latest fashion on clothes is the best way toattract young readers.B. People thirty years ago were often polite.C. In the letters to the editor serious subjects are written in an amusing way.D. Letters to the editor are usually too serious to be interesting.15. Which of the following statements in TRUE?A. No one thinks the paper is well worth a few coins.B. The busy street corners are not the usual place where papers are sold.C. Even dishonest people will not take the paper without paying for it.D. The passers-by can be offered free copies of newspapers.Reading Passage 4There are a great many careers in which the increasing emphasisis on specialization. You find these careers in engineering, in production, in statistical work, and in teaching. But there is an increasing demand for people who are able to take in a great area at a glance, people who perhaps do not know too much about any one field. There is, in other words, a demand for people who are capable of seeing the forest rather than the trees, of making general judgments. We can call these people “generalists”. And these “generalists” are particularly needed for positions in administration, where it is their job to see that other people do the work, where they have to plan for other people, to organize other people’s work, to begin it and judge it.The specialist understands one field; his concern is with technique and tools. He is a “trained” man; and his educational background is properly technical or professional. The generalists and especially the administrator deal with people; his concern is with leadership, with planning, and with direction giving. He is an “educated” man; and the humanities are his strongestfoundation. Very rarely is a specialist capable of being an administrator. And very rarely is a good generalist also a good specialist in a particular field. Any organization needs both kinds of people, though different organizations need them in differentproportions. It is your task to find out, during your training period, into which of the two kinds of jobs you fit, and to plan your career accordingly.Your first job may turn out to be the right job for you but this is pure accident. Certainly you should not change jobs constantly or people will become suspicious of your ability to hold any job. At the same time, you must not look upon the first job as the final job; it is primarily a training job, an opportunity to understand yourself and your fitness for being an employee.16. There is an increasing demand for ________.A. all round people in their own fieldsB. people whose job is to organize other people’s workC. people whose educational background is either technical or professionalD. specialists whose chief concern is to provide administrative guidance to others17. The specialist is ________.A. a man whose job is to train other peopleB. a man who has been trained in more than one fieldC. a man who can see the forest rather than the treesD. a man whose concern is mainly with technical or professional matters18. The administrator is ________.A. a “trained” man who is more a specialist than a generalistB. a man who sees the trees as well as the forestC. a man who is very strong in the humanitiesD. a man who is an “educated” specialist19. During your training period, it is important ________.A. to try to be a generalistB. to choose a profitable jobC. to find an organization which fits youD. to decide whether you are fit to be a specialist or a generalist20. A man’s first job ________.A. is never the right job for himB. should not be regarded as his final jobC. should not be changed or people will become suspicious of his ability to hold any jobD. is primarily an opportunity to fit himself for his final jobⅣ. Questions:(10%)All the questions are based on Reading Passage 5. Answer the questions with the fewest words possible.Reading Passage 5Scientists say changes in the climates caused by industry pollution could make it harder for farmers to grow food in the nextcentury. But the report by the US Department of Agriculture saysthat may not be true everywhere. It says in some parts of the world, global warming might help farmers produce more food. The burning of more oil and coal around the world is blamed for causing carbon dioxide gas or CO2 to increase in the earth upper atmosphere. Many scientists believed this has led to the problem known as global warming. They believe average day-time temperatures will rise a few degrees over the next 50 years. And they believe this could cause changes in the amounts of rainfall. The Agriculture Departmentreport says some farmers in US probably will have to make changes if climate conditions change. They may have to replace theirtraditional methods or grow different crops. But the report also finds that the higher levels of CO2 in the atmosphere could increase the growth of some important crops. The report says that the experiment shows the harvest of the crops like rice, soya beans, wheat and cotton could increase as CO2 levels rise. But this would happen only if average temperatures do not increase too much. The scientists say the faster crop growth caused by high CO2 levels could help farmers reduce their use of chemical fertilizers. That could mean less pollution of streams and rivers. The scientists also say the warming of the atmosphere could also affect snowfall amounts in the US when the snow melts each spring. Melting snow is important because it supplies water for farms in the plain, mountainous western states. The Agriculture Department report suggests farmers canslow down the climate changes. For example, they could leave crop waste on the field after harvesting. This would keep more carbon in the soil and prevent its release into the air as CO2. The report says no one is sure how global warming will affect agriculture. Yet the report says farmers should be ready to make some changes eitherin what they grow or how they grow it .Questions:1. What was the cause of global warming?2. Why farmers in plains and mountainous western states need snow?3. How can some farmers cope with the situation if climate condition changes?4. Why does the report say CO2 high makes farmers pollute less of streams and rivers?5. What is the general idea of the article?Ⅴ. Translate the underlined part of Reading Passage 5 into Chinese.

Reading comprehension(40%)Reading Passage 1 It is becoming increasingly recognized that education is a process which continues throughout adult life. The scope of adult and continuing education has widened in recent years and now includes, in addition to the development of the individual through cultural, physical and craft pursuits, such subjects as basic education: education for disadvantaged groups and those with special needs such as ethnic minorities or the disabled; consumer education; health education; and pre-retirement education. Continuing education includes training for those in employment, to enable them to keep pace with technological change. The British government has taken a number of recent initiatives to improve opportunities for both adult and continuing education. In 1982 it launched a Professional, Industrial and Commercial Updating Program designed to help colleges and universities to meet the need to up-date and broaden the skills of those in mid-career in industry, commerce and the professions. A three-year program to encourage the expansion of educational opportunities for the adult unemployed was launched in 1984. Apart from provision for mature students at universities, courses are provided by further education colleges, adult education centers, residential colleges, the Open Universities and various other bodies including a number of voluntary organizations. Most of the provision is made by the local education authorities in a wide variety of establishments, including schools used for adult evening classes and community schools which provide educational, social and cultural opportunities for the wider community. Most courses are part-time. Local authorities also maintain or aid many courses lasting between a weekend and a fortnight. Long-term residential colleges, grant-aided by central government departments, provide courses of one or two years and aim to provide a liberal education without academic entry tests. Most students admitted are entitled to full maintenance grants.1. One of the tasks of continuing education is ________.A. to keep employees well informed of recent technological developmentsB. to help employees get promoted and pay increasedC. to widen employees’ knowledge of their country’s historyD. to make employees’ spare time activities rich and varied2. The word “initiatives” in Line 8 most probably means ________.A. plansB. offersC. measuresD. proposals3. The two programs launched by the British government are designed for ________.00596# 英语阅读(二)试题第3 页(共9 页)A. students and teachers in colleges and universitiesB. the employed and unemployed respectivelyC. the government employees in BritainD. the disadvantaged and the disabled4. Which of the following is mentioned in the passage?________A. Adult education might be replaced by other types of education.B. Many British young people can receive higher education without entrance examination.C. Only those who passed academic entry tests can get financial aid from the central government.D. The aid for improving adult and continuing education is provided by local and State governments.5. It can be concluded from the passage that ________.A. adult education will probably become the main type of education in Britain and other developed countriesB. the government should attach importance to various types of education to meet the needs of the changing worldC. higher education should meet the demands of the development of science and technologyD. high schools should produce more skilled studentsReading Passage 2 Brain damage is forever, or so doctors once thought, but that long-standing medical axiom (公理) is now being proved wrong. In laboratories across the USA and Europe, researchers are finding that by creating the right chemical environment, and in some cases implanting new cells in the brain, damaged nervous systems can be coaxed (哄) to regenerate (再生). Even more encouraging is the discovery, so far shown only in animals, that cellular (细胞) re-growth can store lost mental functions, and , in addition, improve memory and learning. The latest achievement in this promising field is the work of Dr. Donald Stein and three colleagues at Clark University in Worcester Mass. As reported in last week’s issue of Science, the group attempted to restore mental functioning in 21 rats whose brains had been damaged by the removal of large sections of the frontal cortex (皮层空间). This function of the brain is involved in the learning of complex spatial (空间) relationships. Typically rats sustaining such a severe injury would take 18 days or more to master a maze (迷宫) that required them to alternate right and left turns in order to get a drink of water. Normal rats can learn the task in just 2. 5 days. Before attempting to repair the brain damage, Stein’s team waited a week to allow for the natural accumulation of healing proteins called nerve growth factors. Then they 00596# 英语阅读(二)试题第4 页(共9 页)implanted a pinhead size lump of tissue that had taken from the frontal cortex of normal rat embryos (胎儿). The researchers used fetal (胎儿) cells because they are rich in growth factors and adapt easily to a new environment. Result of the operation: the brain-damaged rats were able to learn the maze in just 8. 5 days. While this is still slower than normal, says Stein,“the transplant was dearly producing some degree of functional recovery. ”Stein later found that new connections had grown between the transplanted tissue and the rest of the brain. According to Stein, the immediate lesson of his group’s experiment is that there is much more capacity for response to brain injury than previously thought.6. In this experiment, the damaged brains were healed ________.A. through surgeryB. by creating a favorable chemical environmentC. by placing new brain material in the damaged brainD. all of the above7. The rats described in the article ________.A. had accidental brain damageB. were at first incapable of learning the mazeC. had had part of their brains removedD. were superior to normal rats after the experiment8. The article inplies that ________.A. learning a maze depends upon the ability to learn spatial relationshipsB. damaged brains could never be returned to normalC. only fetal brain tissue is useable for brain regenerationD. normal rats could learn the maze even faster if implanted with brain tissue proteins9. Nerve growth factors are ________.A. conditions under which brain cell can regenerateB. a chemical environment which induces brain cell enlargementC. proteins which can be used by the tissueD. none of the above10. According to Dr. Stein the experiment shows that ________.A. human brain damage is repairableB. a damaged brain does make some attempt to heal itselfC. brain damage does not necessarily mean a lot of functional abilityD. animal brains, such as a rat’s, are better able to repair themselves than human brainsReading Passage 3 Newspapers in Great Britain vary greatly in their ways of carrying the news. There are 00596# 英语阅读(二)试题第5 页(共9 页)serious papers for those who want to know about important happenings everywhere, both at home and abroad. There are popular newspapers for those who prefer entertainment to information. The London newspaper that is best known outside Great Britain is probably The Times . It began in 1785, and has a high reputation for reliable news and serious opinions on the news. It calls itself an independent paper, which means that it does not give its supports to a particular party. Its leading articles give the opinions of the editor, not those of the owners of the paper. Letters to the editor are printed in parts of the newspaper. These parts of The Times are always interesting. Most of the letters are on serious subjects, but from time to time there will be long letters on the subject which is not at all serious, perhaps on a new fashion of dress, or the bad manners of the young people compared with the manners of the people thirty years ago. In addition to the London daily newspapers, there are other papers. The two London evening papers, the Evening News and the Evening Standard, are sold not only at the ordinary newsagents’shops, but always stay by their piles of papers. However, the newspaper sellers sometimes go away and leave their papers. Passers-by help themselves to the paper they want, and leave the price of the paper in a box. There are dishonest people in London, but no one thinks it is worth robbing a newspaper seller of a few coins.11. If you want to entertain yourself, please buy yourself ________.A. a popular newspaperB. a serious newspaperC. a foreign newspaperD. any independent paper12. The main reason why The Times is a newspaper of high reputation is that ________.A. it is well known outside Great BritainB. news carried in the paper can be accepted as trueC. the first paper of The Times was published in 1785D. it provides readers with many articles on serious news13. The Times is an independent paper, for ________.A. it doesn’t speak in favor of a certain political partyB. it doesn’t support all the political partiesC. it is not controlled by the British governmentD. the editors’ opinions are not examined by the owners of the paper14. What can we infer from the third paragraph?A. Writing on the latest fashion on clothes is the best way to attract young readers.00596# 英语阅读(二)试题第6 页(共9 页)B. People thirty years ago were often polite.C. In the letters to the editor serious subjects are written in an amusing way.D. Letters to the editor are usually too serious to be interesting.15. Which of the following statements in TRUE?A. No one thinks the paper is well worth a few coins.B. The busy street corners are not the usual place where papers are sold.C. Even dishonest people will not take the paper without paying for it.D. The passers-by can be offered free copies of newspapers.Reading Passage 4 There are a great many careers in which the increasing emphasis is on specialization. You find these careers in engineering, in production, in statistical work, and in teaching. But there is an increasing demand for people who are able to take in a great area at a glance, people who perhaps do not know too much about any one field. There is, in other words, a demand for people who are capable of seeing the forest rather than the trees, of making general judgments. We can call these people “generalists”. And these “generalists”are particularly needed for positions in administration, where it is their job to see that other people do the work, where they have to plan for other people, to organize other people’s work, to begin it and judge it. The specialist understands one field; his concern is with technique and tools. He is a “trained” man; and his educational background is properly technical or professional. The generalists and especially the administrator deal with people; his concern is with leadership, with planning, and with direction giving. He is an “educated” man; and the humanities are his strongest foundation. Very rarely is a specialist capable of being an administrator. And very rarely is a good generalist also a good specialist in a particular field. Any organization needs both kinds of people, though different organizations need them in different proportions. It is your task to find out, during your training period, into which of the two kinds of jobs you fit, and to plan your career accordingly. Your first job may turn out to be the right job for you but this is pure accident. Certainly you should not change jobs constantly or people will become suspicious of your ability to hold any job. At the same time, you must not look upon the first job as the final job; it is primarily a training job, an opportunity to understand yourself and your fitness for being an employee.16. There is an increasing demand for ________.A. all round people in their own fieldsB. people whose job is to organize other people’s workC. people whose educational background is either technical or professional00596# 英语阅读(二)试题第7 页(共9 页)D. specialists whose chief concern is to provide administrative guidance to others17. The specialist is ________.A. a man whose job is to train other peopleB. a man who has been trained in more than one fieldC. a man who can see the forest rather than the treesD. a man whose concern is mainly with technical or professional matters18. The administrator is ________.A. a “trained” man who is more a specialist than a generalistB. a man who sees the trees as well as the forestC. a man who is very strong in the humanitiesD. a man who is an “educated” specialist19. During your training period, it is important ________.A. to try to be a generalistB. to choose a profitable jobC. to find an organization which fits youD. to decide whether you are fit to be a specialist or a generalist20. A man’s first job ________.A. is never the right job for himB. should not be regarded as his final jobC. should not be changed or people will become suspicious of his ability to hold any jobD. is primarily an opportunity to fit himself for his final jobⅣ. Questions:(10%)All the questions are based on Reading Passage 5. Answer the questions with the fewest words possible.Reading Passage 5 Scientists say changes in the climates caused by industry pollution could make it harder for farmers to grow food in the next century. But the report by the US Department of Agriculture says that may not be true everywhere. It says in some parts of the world, global warming might help farmers produce more food. The burning of more oil and coal around the world is blamed for causing carbon dioxide gas or CO2 to increase in the earth upper atmosphere. Many scientists believed this has led to the problem known as global warming. They believe average day-time temperatures will rise a few degrees over the next 50 years. And they believe this could cause changes in the amounts of rainfall. The Agriculture Department report says some farmers in US probably will have to make changes if climate conditions change. They may have to replace their traditional methods or grow different crops. But the report also finds that the higher levels of CO2in the 00596# 英语阅读(二)试题第8 页(共9 页)atmosphere could increase the growth of some important crops. The report says that the experiment shows the harvest of the crops like rice, soya beans, wheat and cotton could increase as CO2 levels rise. But this would happen only if average temperatures do not increase too much. The scientists say the faster crop growth caused by high CO2 levels could help farmers reduce their use of chemical fertilizers. That could mean less pollution of streams and rivers. The scientists also say the warming of the atmosphere could also affect snowfall amounts in the US when the snow melts each spring. Melting snow is important because it supplies water for farms in the plain, mountainous western states. The Agriculture Department report suggests farmers can slow down the climate changes. For example, they could leave crop waste on the field after harvesting. This would keep more carbon in the soil and prevent its release into the air as CO2. The report says no one is sure how global warming will affect agriculture. Yet the report says farmers should be ready to make some changes either in what they grow or how they grow it . Questions:1. What was the cause of global warming?2. Why farmers in plains and mountainous western states need snow?3. How can some farmers cope with the situation if climate condition changes?4. Why does the report say CO2 high makes farmers pollute less of streams and rivers?5. What is the general idea of the article?Ⅴ. Translate the underlined part of Reading Passage 5 into Chinese.

Interpretation (20%)Read the following selections and then answer the questions.(1)Then I saw in my dream, that when they were got out of the wilderness, they presently saw a town before them, and the name of that town is V anity; and at the tow n there is a fair kept, called V anity Fair ;it is kept all the year long; it bearth the name of V anity Fair because the town where it is kept is lighter than vanity; and also because all that is there sold, or that cometh thither, is vanity. As is the saying of the wise, “All that cometh is vanity.”This fair is no new-erected business, but a thing of ancient standing; I will show you the original of it.Almost five thousand years agone, there were pilgrims walking to the Celestial City, as theses two honest persons are; and Beelzebub, Apollyon, and Legion, with their companions, perceiving by the path that the pilgrims made, that their way to the city lay through this town of V anity, they contrived to set up a fair; a fair wherein should be sold all sorts of vanity, and that it should last all the year long. Therefore at this fair are all such merchandise sold, as houses, land, trades, places, honors, preferments, titles, countries, kingdoms, lusts, pleasures, and delights of all sorts, as whores, bawds, wives, husbands, children, masters, servants, lives, blood, bodies, souls, silver, gold, pearls, precious stones, and what not.And , moreover, at this fair here is at all times to be seen jugglings, cheats, games, plays, fools, apes, knaves, and rogues, and that of every kind.Here are to be seen, too, and that for nothing, thefts, murders, adulteries, false swearers, and that of a blood-red colour.1. Which book is this passage taken from? Who is the author?2. What kind of fair is the V anity Fair in the passage?(2)“Who, who?”cries Tom; but without waiting for an answer, having discovered the features of his Molly through all the discomposure in which they now were, he hastily alighted, turned his horse loose, and, leaping over the wall, ran to her. She now first bursting into tears, told him how barbarously she had been treated.Upon which, forgetting the sex of Goody Brown, or perhaps not knowing it in his rage—for, in reality, she had no feminine appearance but a petticoat, which he6might not observe—he gave her a lash or two with his horsewhip; and then flying at the mob, who were all accused by Moll, he dealt his blows so profusely on all sides, that unless I would again invoke the Muse (which the good-natured reader may think a little too hard upon her, as she hath so lately been violently sweated), it would be impossible for me to recount the horsewhipping of that day.Having scoured the whole coast of the enemy, as well as any of Homer’s horses ever did, or as Don Quixote or any knight-errant in the world could have done, he returned to Molly, whom he found in a condition which must give both me and my reader pain, was it to be described here. Tom raved like a madman, beat his breast, tore his hair, stamped on the ground, and vowed the utmost vengeance on all who had been concerned.He then pulled off his coat, and buttoned it round her, put his hat upon her head, wiped the blood from her face as well as he could with his handkerchief, and called out to the servant to ride as fast as possible for a side-saddle, or a pillion, that he might carry her safe home.Master Blifil objected to the sending away the servant, as they had only one with them; but as Square seconded the order of Jones, he was obliged to comply.The servant returned in a very short time with the pillion, and Molly, having collected her rags as well as she could, was placed behind him. In which manner she was carried home, Square, Blifil, and Jones attending.Here Jones having received his coat, given her a sly kiss, and whispered her, that he would return in the evening, quitted his Molly, and rode on after his companions.3. What can be seen about the hero Tom’s character from this accident?4. How do you comment on the art form of the novel?(3)She dwelt among the untrodden waysBeside the springs of Dove,A Maid whom there were none to praiseAnd very few to love:A violet by a mossy stoneHalf hidden from the eye!—Fair as a star, when only one7Is shining in the sky.She lived unknown, and few could knowWhen Lucy ceased to be;But she is in her grave, and, oh,The difference to me!5. What is the theme of this poem?Part V. Give brief answers to the following questions. (15%)1. Make a brief comment on the major features of Jane Austen’s novel writing.2. Make a comment on the themes of Ulysses by James Joyce.8。

There I was, walking home at one in the morning after a tiring practice at the theatre. With opening night only a week ago, I was still learning my lines. I was having trouble dealing with my part-time job at the bank and my acting at night at the same time. As I walked, I thought seriously about giving up both acting and San Francisco. City life had become too much for me.As I walked down empty streets under tall buildings, I felt very small and cold. I began running, both to keep warm and to keep away from any possible robbers (抢劫犯). Very few people were still out except a few sad-looking homeless people under blankets.About a block from my apartment (公寓房间), I heard a sound behind me. I turned quickly, half expecting to see someone with a knife or a gun. The street was empty. All I saw was a shining streetlight. Still, the noise had made me nervous, so I started to run faster. Not until I reached my apartment building and unlocked the door did I realize what the noise had been. It had been my wallet falling to the sidewalk.Suddenly I wasn’t cold or tired anymore. I ran out of the door and back to where I’d heard the noise. Although I searched the sidewalk anxiously for fifteen minutes, my wallet was nowhere to be found.Just as I was about to give up the search, I heard the garbage truck (垃圾车) pull up to the sidewalk next to me. When a voice called from the inside, “ Alisa Camacho?” I thought I was dreaming. How could this man know my name? the door opened, and out jumped a small red-haired man with an amused look in his eye. “Is this what you’re looking for?” he asked, holding up a small square shape.It was nearly 3 A.M. by the time I got into bed. I wouldn’t get much sleep that night, but I had gotten my wallet back. I also had gotten back some enjoyment of city life. I realized that the city couldn’t be a bad place as long as people were welling to help each other.56. How did the write feel when she was walking home after work?A. Cold and sickB. Fortunate and helpfulC. Satisfied and cheerfulD. Disappointed and helpless57. From the first paragraph, we learn that the write was busy ______.A. solving her problem at the bankB. taking part in various city activitiesC. learning acting in a n evening schoolD. preparing for the first night show58. On her way home the writer _______.A. lost her wallet unknowinglyB. was stopped by a garbage truck driverC. was robbed of her wallet by an armed manD. found some homeless people following her59. In the fifth paragraph, why did the writer say she was dreaming? A. Someone offered to take herback home. B. A red-haired man came to see her. C. She heard someone call her name D. Her wallet was found in a garbage truck.60. From the text, we can infer that the writer _________.A. would stop working at nightB. would stay on in San FranciscoC. would make friends with cleanersD. would give up her job at the bank.BThese days a green building means more than just the color of the paint. Green building can also refer to environmentally friendly houses, factories, and offices.Green building means “reducing the impact (影响) of the building o n the land”, Taryn Holowka of the U.S. Green Building Council in Washington, D.C., said. According to Holowka, building account for (占了) 65 percent of total U.S. electricity use.But green building can reduce energy and water use. Also, the building are often located near public transportation such as buses and subways, so that people can drive their cars less. That could be good for the environment, because cars use lots of gas and give off pollution. Green building are often built on developed land, so that the buildings don’t destroy forests.Marty Dettling is project manger for a building that put these ideas into action . The Solaire has been called the country’s first green high-rise building . According to Dettling, “We’ve reduced our energy use by one-third and our water by 50 percent,”The Solaire cuts energy in past by using solar power. “On the face of the building we have solar panels which change the sun’s energy into electricity,” Dettling explained.The solaire also has lights that automatically turn off when people leave the room. In addition, the building has lots of windows, allowing people to use the sun for light during the day. The solaire cuts water reusing it.Not everyone is eager to move into a green building, however. Some people think that things like solar panels cost more money than more traditional energy sources. Anyhow, Holowk a said, “It’s going to be big.”61. In the second paragraph, the underlined words “the building” most probably refer to ____. A. an ordinary building B. an energy-saving buildingC. a green-colored buildingD. a building in Washington D.C.62. A green building is often built on an area of land______.A. which has thick forests aroundB. which has already been for buildingsC. where people of high income liveD. where traveling around by car is most convenient63. When Holowka says in the last paragraph, “It’s going to be big”, she means that green buildings_____.A. will be more comfortableB. will become popular in futureC. will be more environmentally friendD. will take the place of traditional building 64. When is the main subject discussed in the text?A. Dettling designed the first green building in the U.S.B. Energy shortage calls for buildings of new design.C. Green building help save environment.D. The Solaire serves as a model of high building.CCentral ParkOutside among the trees, watch the wildlife – both the human and animal varieties. Call (212)360– 3465 or (212)360 – 2726 for events and tours. Central Park stretches from 59th to 110th Sts. , and from 5th Ave. to Central Park.

To provide directions of city traffic in New York.C. To give visitors a guide to New York.D. To give a brief introduction to the history of New York.DWe live in a technological society where most goods are mass-produced by unskilled labor. Because of this, most people that craft (手艺) no longer exists.One of the ways these people wrongly support their view is by pointing to 100-year-old homes which are still solid, and arguing that it is the craftsmanship that is responsible for their durability (持久性). “Homes in those days were well-built,” they say. No doubt these homes were well-built, but what these people have done is mix up the quality of material used in the house with the quality of the craftsmanship.Homes today could be built to last just as long as those old homes if people were willing or able to pay the price. For example, more people can no longer afford solid oak stairways, although they were once fairly common in older homes. Nor can they afford the high labor cost of employing a carpenter (木匠) to built the stairway. Yet if someone can pay the high cost, there are still plenty of carpenters around able to make those stairways. And not only would these carpenters know how to built them, they would probably do a better job than carpenters of oldOne thing the modern carpenter has which enables him to do a better job is much more advanced tools. Such tools as laser beams and power planes help them lay out a house better and make more precision cuts (精确切割) on the wood. Also, it is not uncommon any more to findcarpenters with college degrees and carpenters with a solid knowledge of mathematics, which would enable them to deal with more difficult house designs.The problem of modern quality, then, really boils down to the problem of material, for the modern carpenter is just as able to produce craftsmanship as the carpenter of fifty years ago, but only if given proper material.68. Compared to the carpenters in the past , modern carpenters are_______.A. more successfulB. more learnedC. more imaginativeD. more hardworking69. what does the underlined word “they” (paragraph2) refer to?A. Carpenters who are fond of oak stairways.B. Carpenters who have college degrees.C. people who think highly of carpenters of oldD. people who think that modern material is of low quality.70. What does the third paragraph mainly discuss?A. People in the past preferred to use oak to built stairways.B. It is now expensive to employ a carpenter.C. Modern houses last as long as the old one.D. Good carpenters still exist in modern times.71. What would be the best title for the text?A. Is Craft Dead?B. Craft, Back to life?C. History of craftsmanshipD. Carpenters Today and YesterdayEIt was an early September day, cool and bright and just right for running, and I was in the first few miles of a 10-mile race over a course (路线) with a few high hills. Still, I felt energetic; despite the hills it was going to be a fine run.Just ahead of me was Peggy Mimno, a teacher from Mount Kiseo, New York. She too was running easily, moving along at my speed. The pace (步速) felt comfortable, so I decided to stay where I was; why pay attention to pace when she was setting such a nice one? I’d overtake (追上) her later on when she tired.So I ran behind her. The course headed north for miles, wandered west for a hilly mile, then turned south again along a winding road. The race was getting harder. We had four miles left and already it was beginning to be real work.Peggy overtook a young runner. She seemed to known him, for they exchanged a few cheerful words as she passed him. Their exchange worried me. You don’t chat during a race unless you feeling good, and Peggy plainly was.Still, I was close enough to overtake her if she tired, so I didn’t give up hope completely. We were getting nearer to a long, punishing hill now and it would be the test. We were a mile from the finish line, so whatever happened on the hill would almost determine who crossed it first.As I moved up the hill, my attention wandered for a few minutes. When I looked up, Peggy wasmoving away-first five yards, then ten, then more. Finally it was clear that there was no help of catching her. She beat me soundly.There is an important lesson in that race. Women are thought to be weaker, slower and not nearly as skilled in sport. Yet as Peggy Mimno so clearly showed, the similarities between men and women runners are more important than differences. I have run with a number of women, and I can say it is often hard work..72. What did the writer think of the race in the beginning?A. It would be hard work.B. It would be an easy race.C. It would be a test of his strength.D. It would be a good learning experience.73. What worried the writer when Peggy greeted the young runner?A. Peggy overtook the young runner.B. Peggy was running energetically.C. Peggy was laughing as the writer.D. Peggy paid no attention to the writer.74. By saying “a long, punishing hill” (paragraph5), the writer im plies that ______.A. Peggy would fail to reach the hilltop B. men are more skilled at climbing hillsC. overtaking Peggy would be easy D. climbing the hill would be a demanding task 75. What lesson dose the writer learn from the race:A. Women are as good as men in sport.B. Women are better at climbing hills.C. He should have more training in a cross-country race.D. He should set a quicker pace at the beginning of a race.第二卷(共35分)注意事项:1.第二卷共4页,用钢笔或圆珠笔直接答在试卷上。

What is the title of this poem?4. Who is the speaker of this dramatic monologue? What kind of person is he? (3)He was surprised to find this young woman - who though but a milkmaid had just that touch of rarity about her which might make her the envied of her housemates - shaping such sad imaginings. She was expressing in her own native phrases - assisted a little by her Sixth Standard training - feelings which might almost have been called those of the age - the ache of modernism. The perception arrested him less when he reflected that what are called advanced ideas are really in great part but the latest fashion in definition - a more accurate expression, by words in logy and ism, of sensations which men and women have vaguely grasped for centuries.Still, it was strange that they should have come to her while yet so young; more than strange; it was impressive, interesting, pathetic. Not guessing the cause, there was nothing to remind him that experience is as to intensity, and not as to duration. Tess’s passing corporeal blight had been her mental harvest.Tess, on her part, could not understand why a man of clerical family and good education, and above physical want, should look upon it as a mishap to be alive. For the unhappy pilgrim herself there was very good reason. But how could this admirable and poetic man ever have descended into the V alley of Humiliation, have felt with the man of Uz-as she herself had felt5two or three years ago - ‘My soul chooseth strangling and death rather than my life.

He did not milk cows because he was obliged to milk cows, but because he was learning how to be a rich and prosperous dairyman, landowner, agriculturist, and breeder of cattle. He would become an American or Australian Abraham, commanding like a monarch his flocks and his herds, his spotted and his ring-stroked, his men-servants and his maids. At times, nevertheless, it did seem unaccountable to her that a decidedly bookish, musical, thinking young man should have chosen deliberately to be a farmer, and not a clergyman, like his father and brothers.Thus, neither having the clue to the other’s secret, they were respectively puzzled at what each revealed, and awaited new knowledge of each other’s character and moods without attempting to pry into each other’s history.Every day, every hour, brought to him one more little stroke of her nature, and to her one more of his. Tess was trying to lead a repressed life, but she little divined the strength of her own vitality.5. Who does “he”in the first sentence refer to?
