Leading stress management experts say that without stress would be dull and unexciting. Stress adds flavor, challenge, and opportunity to life. However, too much stress can seriously affect your physical and mental well-being. A major challenge in today’s stress-filled world is to make the stress in your life work for you instead of against you.In today’s hectic, fast-paced world and with the blooming economy, stress is our constant companion. It comes from mental or emotional activity and physical activity. Too much emotional stress can result in physical illness, such as high blood pressure, ulcers, asthma, irritable colon, headaches, or even heart disease. On the other hand,physical stress from work or exercise rarely causes such ailments. In fact, physical exercise can help you to relax and to handle your mental or emotional stress.Hans Selye, M.D., a recognized expert in the field, has defined stress as a “nonspecific response of the body to a demand”. The key to reducing stress is learning how our bodies respond to those demands. When stress becomes prolonged or particularly frustrating, it can become harmful-causing distress or “bad stress”. Recognizing the early signs of distress and then doing something about them can make a significant difference in the quality of your life.In order to use stress in a positive way and prevent it from becoming distress, you should be aware of your own reactions to stressful events. The body responds to stress by going through specific stages: (1) alarm, (2) resistance, (3) exhaustion. Muscles tense, blood pressure and heart rate rise, and adrenaline and other stress-triggered hormones that increase the level of alertness are released. If the stress-causing conditions continue, your body will need time to make repairs, if that happens, you eventually may develop a physical problem that is related to stress, such as migraine headaches, high blood pressure, backache, or insomnia. That’s why when stress occurs it’s important that you recognize and deal with it in a positive way. While it’s impossible to live completely free of stress and distress, it is possible to prevent some distress as well as to minimize is impact when it can’t be avoided. The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services offers the following suggestions for ways to handle stress.Try Physical ActivityWhen you’re nervous, angry or upset, try releasing the pressure through exercise or physical activity. Running, walking, playing tennis, or working in your garden are just some of the activities you might try. Physical exercise will relieve your anxiety and worry and help you relax. Your body and your mind will work together to ease the stress in your life.Share Your StressIt helps to talk with someone about your anxieties and worries. Perhaps a friend, family member, teacher, or counselor can help you achieve a more positiveperspective on what’s troubling you. It you feel your problem is serious, you might seek professional help from a psychologist, psychiatrist or social worker. Knowing when to ask for help is a positive step in avoiding more serious problems later.Take Care of YourselfYou should make every effort to eat well and to get enough rest. If you’re irritable and tense from lack of sleep, or if you’re not eating properly, you’ll be more vulnerable to stressful situations. If stress repeatedly keeps you from sleeping, you should consult your doctor.Make Time for YourselfSchedule time for both work and reaction. Don’t forget, play can be just as important to your overall well-being as work. You need a break from your daily routine to just relax and have fun. Go window-shopping or work on a hobby. Allow yourself at least a half hour each day to do something you enjoy.Make a List of the Things You Need to DoStress can result from disorganization and a feeling that “there’s so much to do, and not enough time”. Trying to take care of everything at once can be overwhelming, and as a result, you may not accomplish anything. Instead, make a list of everything you have to do, then do one thing at a time, checking off each task as it is completed. Give priority to the most important tasks and do those first.Go Ahead and CryA good cry can be a healthy way to bring relief to your anxiety. It might even help you avoid headache or other physical consequence of anxiety and stress.Create a Quiet SceneYou can’t always run away, but you can allow yourself a mental “get-away”. A quiet country scene painted mentally, or on canvas, can transport you from the tension of a stressful situation to a more relaxing frame of mind. You also can create a sense of peace and tranquility by reading a good book or listening to beautiful music.Avoid Self-MedicationWhile you can use prescription or over-the-counter medications to relieve stress temporarily, they do not remove the conditions that caused the stress in the first place.In fact, many medications may be habit-forming and also may reduce your efficiency, thus creating more stress than they eliminate. They should be taken only on the advice of your doctor.RelaxThe best strategy for reducing or avoiding stress altogether is to learn how to relax. Unfortunately, many people try to relax at the same pace that they lead the rest of their lives. That doesn't work. Instead, try tuning out your worries about time, productivity and "doing right". Here are several relaxation techniques you may find helpful:--You should take a deep breath and exhale to help calm your mind, counter your body's natural stress reaction and improve your response.--You should laugh. Many stress management experts advocate laughter as a relaxation technique for relieving tension.--You should take a warm bath or shower. Whether you prefer bubble baths or long hot showers, this is an excellent way to relax after a stressful day.--You should try progressive muscle relaxation. Individual contract and relax each muscle group of your body. Begin by tensing your toes for 10 seconds, then relax them for 20.Work all the way up your body, alternately tensing and relaxing, and finish with your facial muscles.By learning the "art" of relaxation, you’ll find satisfaction in just "being", without trying or striving. Your focus on relaxation, enjoyment and health will reduce stress, anxiety and worry in your life. The result is, you will be calmer, healthier and happier.注意：此部分试题在答题卡1上作答。

For questions 8-10, complete the sentences with the information given in the passage.Guide DogsFor most dog owners, the expression “work like a dog”doesn’t make much sense. But some dogs happily perform very demanding jobs for much of their life, putting in a full day’s work just like the rest of us. Guide dogs, one of the most familiar sorts of working dog, provide an invaluable service to humans. Every day, they help their masters get from place to place more safely.What Guide Dogs DoGuide dogs help blind or visually impaired people get around in the world. In most countries, they are allowed to anyplace where the public is allowed, so they can help their handlers be in any place they might want to go to. To do this, a guide dog must know how to:·Keep on a direct route, ignoring distractions such as smells, other animals and people·Maintain a steady pace, to the left and just ahead of the handler·Stop at all curbs until told to proceed·Turn left and right, move forward and stop on command·Recognize and avoid obstacles that the handler won’t be able to fit through (narrow passages and low overheads) ·Stop at the bottom and top of stairs until told to proceed·Bring the handler to elevator buttons·Lie quietly when the handler is sitting down·Help the handler to board and move around buses, subways and other forms of public Vehicles·Obey a number of verbal commandsAdditionally, a guide dog must know to disobey any command that would put the handler in danger. This ability, called selective disobedience, is perhaps the most amazing thing about guide dogs that they can balance obedience with their own assessment of the situation.This capacity is extremely important at crosswalks, where the handler and dog must work very closely together to navigate the situation safely. Dogs cannot distinguish the color of traffic lights, so the handler must make the decision of when it is safe to proceed across the road. The handler listens to the flow of traffic to figure out when the light has changed and then gives the command “forward”. If there is no danger, the dog proceeds across the road in a straight line. If there are cars approaching, the dog waits until the danger is gone and then follows the forward command.On the Job and After HoursGuide dogs enjoy their work immensely, and they get a lot of satisfaction from a job well done, but there is noroom for typical dog fun during the work day. Games, treats and praise cannot distract the dog from helping its handler navigate the course. Even when the handler doesn’t need assistance, a guide dog on the job is trained to ignore distractions and keep still. This is because a guide dog must be able to come to the handler’s workplace or be in public places without creating a disturbance.When you see a guide dog on the job, it is extremely important that you recognize that it is at work. Petting or talking to the dog breaks its concentration, which impairs the handler’s ability to get around in his or her surroundings. People are very impressed with guide dogs and so we have a natural inclination to praise them, but the best thing you can do to help a guide dog is to leave it alone so that it can pay attention to its surroundings and maintain its focus on its handler. Guiding is very complicated, and it requires a dog’s undivided attention.When a guide dog gets home at the end of the day, however, it will play and soak up praise just like an ordinary pet. Guide dogs make the distinction between work and play based on their lead harness: When the harness is on, they must stay completely focused; when it comes off, it’s play time. Guide dogs work very hard every day, but they lead extremely happy lives, full of lots of attention and stimulation. Dogs only end up working as guide dogs if they absolutely love the work. In fact, many handlers report that their dogs leap enthusiastically into the harness every morning!TrainingPeople often raise Golden Retrievers(猎犬),German shepherds or Labradors(拉布拉多猎狗) as candidates of guide dogs. Once a dog is grown up, socialized and well trained, it goes to the guide dog school for evaluation.In some schools, if a dog is suited for training but not quite ready, it may go back to the puppy(幼犬) raiser for a month or so to mature. If a dog is simply not suited for training, the school will work to place the dog in another line of work, such as tracking, or find it a permanent home, usually offering it to the puppy raiser first. At Guiding Eyes for the Blind, only the top 50 percent of the puppies will stay with the school. So the school places a little over 400 puppies with raisers each year, needing only 200 dogs for the training program. Of that 200,a small percentage will become breeding stock, for Guiding Eyes or another school, and the rest will be considered for the training program.Training is a rigorous process for both the instructors and the dogs, but it’s also a lot of fun. To make sure the dogs are up to the challenge, most schools test them extensively before beginning the training. The tests are designed to assess the dogs’ self-confidence level, since only extremely confident dogs will be able to deal with the pressure of guiding instruction. If a dog passes the tests, it begins the training program right away.Different schools have different programs, but typically, training will last four to five months. To make sure the dogs master all the complex guide skills, the instructors have to introduce them to each idea gradually. Once they have introduced what is expected of the dog, training is essentially a matter of rewarding correct performance and punishing incorrect performance. This works with dogs because they are pack animals and have a natural need to please an authority figure. The instructor, or later the handler, is simply stepping into the place of the alpha dog, the leader of the pack.Unlike ordinary obedience training, guide dog training does not use food as a reward for good performance. This is because a guide dog must be able to work around food without being distracted by it. Instead, instructors use praise or other reward systems to encourage correct performance. The standard means of correction is pulling on the dogs leash, so that it pulls a training collar, giving the dog a slight pinch(捏，掐).Using this basic reward/punishment system, instructors work through the necessary skills for guiding.Forming a TeamThe final stage of a guide dog’s training is learning to work with its new master. Guide dog training schools work very hard to match handlers with guide dogs according to the compatibility of their personalities. A very energetic dog typically does well with a young handler, while an older handler may need an especially careful partner. Schools often have a special gathering to commemorate the time when a new class of guide dogs finally meets their masters. Often, the dogs’puppy raiser attends and meets with the new master as well. This is perhaps the most emotional time in the entire training process.After this introduction, guide dog instructors typically spend a month helping the new team learn to worktogether. Many schools have dormitories for the handlers to stay in during this final stage of training.If the handler has never used a guide dog before, a lot of the instructors work at this point are actually people training, not dog training. The handler has to learn to read the dogs movements, so he or she knows when the dog is turning or when the dog is stopping for a crosswalk or stairs. Additionally, the handler has to learn all the commands the dog knows, and must get some practice walking with the dog. The dog has to make the transition from obeying the instructor to recognizing the handler as its new master. The handler and the dog spend a lot of this time just getting to know each other, so that they are comfortable enough to work as a team. By the time they graduate from the guide dog school, they can read each others every movement.1. When a handler and a guide dog walk on the street__b______, .A) the handler must walk straight B) the dog must try to walk straightC) both the handler and the dog should walk straight D) neither of them has to walk straight2.

When a puppy dog grows up, it is evaluated at the guide dog school to see d .A) if it is suited for guiding B) if it is ready for guidingC) if it is suited for breeding D) if it is suited for training8. Different from ordinary obedience training, guide dog training introduces praise or other reward systems instead of food .9.

Before graduation, the handler and the guide dog should spend time learning to read each other's every movement .Part ⅢListening Comprehension (35 minutes)Section ADirections: In this section, you will hear 8 short conversations and 2 long conversations.

Researchers at the University of California, Los Angeles, have been investigating the connection between language and well-being for several years. They have discovered that positive language can lead to better health outcomes, while negative language can have the opposite effect.The study involved 300 participants who were monitored for a period of one year. The participants were asked to keep a daily diary of their interactions with others, including both positive and negative comments. The researchers found that those who used more positive language reported fewer physical symptoms and a greater sense of well-being.Dr. Emily Thompson, the l ead researcher, explained, “We were surprised to see the impact that language can have on our health. It’s not just about what we say, but also how we say it. A gentle tone and supportive language can make a significant difference.”Here are some examples of positive and negative language:Positive Language: “I appreciate your help with the project.”Negative Language: “You always mess up the project.”The researchers also looked at the effects of language on relationships. They found that couples who used more positive language were more likely toreport a satisfying relationship, while those who used negative language were more likely to experience relationship stress.Questions:1、What is the main focus of the study conducted by the University of California, Los Angeles?A) The impact of diet on physical health.B) The connection between language and well-being.C) The effects of exercise on mental health.D) The role of social media in relationships.2、Which of the following is a positive example of language from the passage?A) “You always mess up the project.”B) “I can’t believe you did that again.”C) “I appreciate your help with the project.”D) “This is a waste of time.”3、According to the study, what is the likely outcome for couples who use negative language in their relationships?A) They will have a more satisfying relationship.B) They will experience fewer physical symptoms.C) They will report a greater sense of well-being.D) They will likely experience relationship stress.Answers:1、B2、C3、D第二题Passage OneIn the United States, there is a long-standing debate over the best way to educate children. One of the most controversial issues is the debate between traditional public schools and charter schools.Traditional public schools are operated by government and are funded by tax dollars. They are subject to strict regulations and are required to follow a standardized curriculum. Teachers in traditional public schools are typically unionized and receive benefits and pensions.On the other hand, charter schools are publicly funded but operate independently of local school districts. They are free to set their own curriculum and teaching methods. Charter schools often have a longer school day and a more rigorous academic program. They are also subject to performance-based evaluations, which can lead to their closure if they do not meet certain standards.Proponents of charter schools argue that they provide more choices for parents and that they can offer a more personalized education for students. They also claim that charter schools are more accountable because they are subject to more direct oversight and can be closed if they fail to meet their goals.Opponents of charter schools argue that they take resources away fromtraditional public schools and that they do not provide a level playing field for all students. They also claim that charter schools can be more selective in their admissions process, which may lead to a lack of diversity in the student body.Questions:1、What is a key difference between traditional public schools and charter schools?A) Funding sourceB) CurriculumC) Teacher unionsD) Academic rigor2、According to the passage, what is a potential advantage of charter schools?A) They are subject to fewer regulations.B) They offer more choices for parents.C) They are more likely to receive government funding.D) They typically have a shorter school day.3、What is a common concern expressed by opponents of charter schools?A) They are less accountable for their performance.B) They may lead to a lack of diversity in the student body.C) They are more expensive for local taxpayers.D) They do not follow a standardized curriculum.Answers:1、B) Curriculum2、B) They offer more choices for parents.3、B) They may lead to a lack of diversity in the student body.四、听力理解-新闻报道（选择题，共20分）第一题News ReportA: Good morning, everyone.

正确答案：Be a Civilized Tourist [1] With the improvement of people’s living standards, more and more Chinese enjoy traveling abroad these years.[2] Unfortunately, many tourists traveling abroad have not behaved themselves well.[3] They talk loudly in public places, drop rubbish everywhere, jump queues, and ignore local regulations. [4] Some even scribble in tourist attractions, leaving marks on scenic spots. [5] All the uncivilized behavior has caused bad effect. [6] It has brought inconveniences to local people, and has made the scenic spots dirty and less popular. [7] Besides, it has left a bad impression on the local people, who might thus think that all the Chinese people are inconsiderate and impolite. [8] Then, how can we be civilized and courteous tourists? [9] I think the key to being a popular tourist is to “Do in Rome as the Romans do.” [10] Therefore, we need first learn the foreign cultures and local conventions and customs before we go traveling abroad. Then we should always beware and try to get rid of our bad habits when we are in a foreign place. [11] Only in this way can our experience abroad be pleasant and fruitful.解析：[1] 由出境游人口增加引出游客不良行为的话题。

For question 1--7, choose the best answer from the four choices marked A), B), C) and D). For questions 8--10, complete the sentences with the information given in the passage.GeniusesIn 1905, Albert Einstein developed the theory of special relativity. He also proved that atoms exist and figured out that light behaves as both a particle and a wave. To top it all off, he developed his famous equation E=mc<上标>c, which describes the relationship between matter and energy, the same year. He was only 26 years old.Without a doubt, Einstein was a genius. So was Isaac Newton-as any fan of "Star Trek". The Next Generation can say he invented physics. He also played a big role in the development of calculus, which some people have trouble comprehending even after extensive classroom study. Another genius, Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, started composing music when he was 5 years old. Mozart wrote hundreds of pieces before his death in 1760 at age 35.According to conventional wisdom, geniuses are different from everyone else. They can think faster and better than other people, In addition, many people think that all that extra brainpower leads to eccentric or quirky behavior. And although geniuses are fairly easy to spot, defining exactly what makes one person a genius is a little trickier. Figuring out how that person became a genius is harder still.There are two big things that make it difficult to study genius:The genius label is subjective. Some people insist that anyone with an intelligence quotient (IQ) higher than a certain value is a genius. Others feel that IQ tests measure only a limited part of a person's total intelligence. Some believe high test scores have little to do with real genius.Genius is a big-picture concept. Most scientific and medical inquiries, on the other band, examine de tails. A concept as subjective as genius isn't easy to quantify, analyze or study.So, when exploring how geniuses work, it's a good idea to start by defining precisely what a genius is. For the purpose of this article, a genius isn't simply someone with an exceptionally high IQ. Instead, a genius is an extraordinarily intelligent person who breaks new ground with discoveries, inventions or works of art. Usually, a genius' work changes the way people view the world or the field in which the work took place. In other words, a genius must be both intelligent and able to use that intelligence in a productive or impressive way.Genius and the BrainThe brain regulates the body's organ systems. When a person moves around, it sends impulses along the nerves and tells the muscles what to do. The brain controls the senses of smell, taste, touch, sight and hearing, and the person experiences and processes emotions using his brain, On top of all that, the brain allows people to think, analyze information and solve problems. But how does it make someone smart?Scientists haven't figured out exactly how all the gray matter in the brain works, but they do have an idea of which part lets people think. The cerebral cortex (大脑皮层), which is the outermost part of the brain, is where thought and reasoning happen. These are the brain's higher function-- the lower functions, which relate to basic survival, take place deeper in the brain.The cerebral cortex is the largest part of the brain, and it's full of wrinkles and folds that allow it to fit in theskull. If an adult human's cerebral cortex is removed and stretched out, it would be about as large as a few pages of a newspaper. It's divided into several lobes(裂片), and different regions within these lobes handle specific tasks related to how people think.In spite of all those challenges to see the brain inside and how it works, researchers have figured out a few things about how the brain affects intelligence. A 2004 study at the University of California, Irvine found that the volume of gray matter in parts of the cerebral cortex had a greater impact on intelligence than the brain's total volume. The findings suggest that the physical attributes of many parts of the brain--rather than a centralized "intelligence center" --determine how smart a person is.Genius and IntelligenceLike genius, intelligence can be difficult to quantify. Psychologists and neuroscientists study intelligence extensively. An entire field of study, known as psychometrics, is devoted to studying and measuring intelligence. But even within that field, experts don't always agree on exactly what it is or how best to analyze it. And while intelligence is central to genius, not all geniuses score well on intelligence tests or perform well in school.Intelligence testing has existed for thousands of years. The tests we know as IQ tests got their start near the end of the 19th century. Today, IQ tests generally measure a person's memory as well as language, spatial and mathematical abilities.IQ tests are also standardized so that most people score between 90 and 110. When placed on a graph, the IQ test scores of a large group of people will generally resemble a bell curve, with most people scoring in the average range. A common perception is that anyone scoring above a certain number--often 140--is automatically a genius. But in spite of the existence of high-IQ organizations, many scientists caution that there is no such thing as a genius-level IQ.Many educators and researchers feel that, in general, standardized IQ tests do a good job of predicting how well a child will perform in school. Schools often use these tests to determine which children to place in gifted or special education classes. Most colleges and universities and some employers also use standardized tests as part of their application processes.Intelligence and AdjustmentOne of the stereotypes surrounding gifted children is that they have trouble fitting in at school. Several scientific studies suggest that the stereotype has a foundation in reality. A Purdue University study of 423 gifted students suggested that they were susceptible to bullying. A 20-year study of gifted children ending in 1940 suggested that the trend of not fitting in continues into adulthood. The study used a test that measured both verbal intelligence and personal adjustment. People who scored above 140 in verbal intelligence generally had lower personal adjustment scores.However, in spite of their prevalence, these tests are not foolproof. In general, some minorities and people with lower income levels tend to score lower than people from other racial and economic groups. Critics contend that this makes IQ tests invalid or unfair. Others argue that they instead point out unfair ness and prejudice within a society.In addition, some researchers and theorists argue that the IQ test is too limiting and doesn't really give a full view of a person's intelligence. These researchers feel that intelligence is a combination of many factors. Creativity and GeniusGeniuses like Einstein are also known for their creativity and productivity--and sometimes for their quirky behavior.There's a big difference between being really smart and being a genius. While geniuses tend to be exceptionally intelligent, they also use imagination and creativity to invent, discover or create something new within their field of interest. They break now ground rather than simply remembering or reciting existing information.The creativity of geniuses also relates to productivity and hard work. Sometimes, the most dramaticexamples of genius involve people who produce their best work at a very young age. However, not every genius produces exceptional work early in life the way Einstein and Mozart did. Some, like Ludwig yon Beethoven, do their best work later in life.We may never know precisely where creativity comes from, why some people use their creativity more than others or why some people are most creative during specific times in their lives. We may not learn how one person ends up with the right balance of brainpower, intelligence and creativity to become a genius. But it's clear that geniuses are central to advancements in science, technology and understanding. Without geniuses, our understanding of mathematics, literature and music would be completely different. Concepts that we now take for granted, like gravity, planetary orbits and black holes, might still be undiscovered.1. Who is the typical genius that started composing music when he was 5 years old?A) Albert Einstein. B) Star Trek.C) Wolfgang Mozart. D) Isaac Newton.2. Which is TRUE about IQ test according to the passage?A) People who has a higher IQ is a genius.B) IQ test measures a limited part of a person's intelligence.C) High test scores have little to do with real genius.D) There is still a controversy on whether IQ test can tell all about the genius.3.

(36) treatments now show hops of long-term survival for almost eighty percent of young cancer patients. Yet the chemical drugs and radiation (37) to cure their cancers can cause other problems later.A newly reported study (38) more than 12,000 grown-ups who (39) childhood cancers. Their average age at the time of the study was twenty-eight.The researchers found that sixty-two percent of the cancer survivors had at least one (40) health problem. And they were eight times as likely as their sisters or brothers to (41) life-threatening conditions, because chemical drugs can damage bone growth during an important period of (42) and radiation for some cancers can (43) the risk of other cancers later.Survivors of bone cancers, and cancers of the central nervous system were at highest risk for health problems as adults.

Still, (45)According to the author of the study, doctors should watch closely for problems as childhood cancer survivors get older, He says (46) . And he says it is especially important for survivors to eat right, exercise and not smoke.Part ⅣReading Comprehension (Reading in Depth)Section ADirections: In this section, there is a short passage with 5 questions or incomplete statements. Read the passage carefully. Then answer the questions or complete the statements in the fewest possible words. Please write your answers on Answer Sheet 2.Opinion polls are now beginning to show that, whoever is to blame and whatever happens from now on, high unemployment is probably here to stay. This means we shall have to find ways of sharing the available employment more widely.But we need to go further. We must ask some fundamental questions about the future work. Should we continue to treat employment as the norm? Should we not rather encourage many ways for self-respecting people to work? Should we not create conditions in which many of us can work for ourselves, rather than for an employer? Should we not aim to revive the household and the neighborhood, as well as the factory and the office, as centers of production and work?The Industrial Age has been the only period of human history in which most people's work has taken the form of jobs. The Industrial Age may now be coming to an end, and some of the changes in work patterns which it brought may have to be reversed. This seems a daunting(使人畏缩的) thought. But, in fact, it could offer a better future for work. Universal employment, as its history shows, has not meant economic freedom.Employment became widespread when the enclosures of the 17th and 18th centuries made many people dependent on paid work by depriving them of the use of the land, and thus of the means to provide a living for themselves. Then the factory system destroyed the cottage industries and removed, first by rail and then by road, people commuted longer distances to their places of employment until, eventually, many people's work lost all connection with their home loves and the places in which they love.Meanwhile, employment put women at a disadvantage. In preindustrial times, men and women had shared the productive work of the household and village community. Now it became customary for the husband to go outto the paid employment, leaving the unpaid work of the home and families to his wife. Tax and benefit regulations still assume this norm today, and restrict more flexible sharing of work roles between the sexes.It was not only women whose work status suffered. As employment became the dominant form of work, young people and old people were excluded—a problem now, as more teenagers become frustrated at school and more retired people want to live active lives.All this may now have to change. The time has certainly come to switch some effort and resources away from the idealist goal of creating jobs for all, to the urgent practical task of helping many people to manage without full time jobs.47. Research carried out in the recent opinion polls shows that ______.48. What does the author think about the coming end of the Industrial Age?49. According to the passage, what do the enclosures of the 17th and 18th centuries mean?50. The effects of almost universal employment were overwhelming in that ______.51. The article concludes that our efforts and resources in terms of tacking employment are ______.Section BDirections: There are 2 passages in this section. Each passage is followed by some questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A), B), C) and D). You should decide on the Best choice and mark the corresponding letter on Answer Sheet 2 with a single line through the centre.Passage 1The number of parents teaching their offspring at home will increase if the current public school system continues to be viewed as an irrelevant institution that can hinder a child's ability to learn.The rise of home-schooling reflects broadening dissatisfaction with formal education in the US. Discontent is high for two reasons. First, public schools are turning out a poor product--illiterate and unprepared graduates. For example, American 13-year-olds have been documented as having math skills that rank below their counterparts in 14 other developed countries. One survey noted that just one-third of high school juniors could place the Civil War in the correct half-century. Equally troubling, public schools have become scenes where drugs are sold, teachers are robbed, and homemade bombs are found in lockers.Compounding the situation, teachers' unions, school officials, and many politicians adamantly(坚决地) oppose the use of public monies(钱) for innovative solutions, such as vouchers and charter schools. Those alternatives, although not a panacea(万能) for all the present problems, are at least promising vehicles that could help poor and middle-income parents to find better schools for their children and break up the monopoly of a "one-size-fits-all" philosophy of education.In light of the educational quagmire(沼泽) the US finds itself in, many parents, impatient for reform, are taking matters into their own hands. One alternative that is gaining growing public acceptance is the educational option known as home-schooling.Home-schooling is defined simply as the "education of school-aged children at home rather than at a school". Home-schoolers believe that students who receive instruction simultaneously from the home and the community at large will be more culturally sophisticated than those whose bulk of learning experience is confined to a school. Home-schooling families believe they are using their liberties well and wisely. The American can-do spirit is evident in the home-schools and households parents manage simultaneously. Those families, however, could use some further deregulation, be it through home-school tax credits or a loosening of compulsory attendance school laws, to make their task easier.52. According to the text, the number of children being schooled at home has increased because ______.A) children don't want to go to schoolB) parents are dissatisfied with pubic schoolsC) home-schooled children learn betterD) public schools are too crowded53. The author believes that using public monies to fund charter schools is ______.A) a cure-all solution B) hard to implementC) a good idea D) against the law54. Advocates believe that students who are schooled at home and in the community ______.A) exhibit the American can-do spiritB) will be more likely to home-school their own childrenC) lack basic social skillsD) are more culturally sophisticated55. According to the author, families that home-school their children would be helped by ______.A) a relaxing of current regulations B) governmental assistanceC) more understanding communities D) better teaching in the public schools56. The author's attitude towards home-schooling is ______.A) supportive B) inquiringC) neutral D) suspiciousPassage 2It is pretty hopeless as a venue for opera, it took years to build, its architect was forced to resign and it was never properly finished inside. None of this matters. The Sydney Opera House, by the reclusive Danish architect Jorn Utzon, is the mother and father of all modern landmark buildings. It has come to define not only a city, but an entire nation and continent.Beyond that, it is a global expression of cultural modernity. Everyone in the world with media access knows what the Sydney Opera House looks like. First designed in 1956 and finally declared completed in 1973, the opera house was the single best known modern building in the world until the arrival of Frank Gehry's equally extraordinary Bilbao Guggenheim in 1997. But it will outlive the Guggenheim as an international architectural icon--because it did all the difficult work tint.In the pantheon(万神殿) of classic modern buildings, Utzon's creation has the status of myth. The myth states that the unknown architect, then in his thirties, submitted rough sketches to the competition judges, that he ignored most of the rules, that his as only selected after being plucked at the last moment from the rejected pile by one of the judges, and that the design was unbuildable.But Sydney is remarkable for another reason: it is a complete one-off. It does not fit into any stylistic or chronological category. None of Utzon's other buildings--churches, government departments, house. looks anything like it, and architects today who try to copy his concept always end up looking very second-rate indeed. It is "modern", certainly, but it is an expressive modernism that was quite at odds with the rectilinear(直线的) "international style" of its time. It has more in common with the work of the American genius Frank Uloyd Wright, for whom Utzon worked briefly. Of course its location is an enormous help, sitting as it does on a promontory with water on three sides and the famous Sydney Harbor Bridge as a picture-postcard backdrop. But Utzon masterly exploited the site as nobody else could.Utzon left Australia in high indignation in 1966, never to return, before he could finish designing the interiors.As with Sir Christopher Wren at St Paul's Cathedral, Utzon was humiliated and removed from overseeing the final stages of his masterwork. But for all his manifold difficulties, which other contemporary architect can claim an equivalent achievement? The Sydney Opera House showed us that anything is possible, and it demonstrated that sheer, seductive beauty for its own sake is nothing to be ashamed of.57. It can be inferred from the passage that ______.A) the Danish architect Join Utzon totally failed in his design of Sydney Opera House and was forced to resignB) the Danish architect Jorn Utzon has been made known as the founder of all the modern landmark。

statements．For each of them there are four choices marked A），B），C）and D）．You should decide on the best choice and mark the corresponding letter on the ANSWER SHEET with a single line through the center．Questions 21to 25are based on the following passage：More attention was paid to the quality of production in France at the time of Rene Coty．Charles Deschanel was then the financial minister．He stressed that workmanship and quality were more important than quantity for industrial production．It would be necessary to produce quality goods for the international market to compete with those produced in other countries．The French economy needed a larger share of the international market to balance its import and export trade．French industrial and agricultural production was still inadequate to meet the immediate needs of the people，let alone long-ranged developments．Essential imports had stretched the national credit to the breaking point．Rents were tightly controlled，but the extreme inflation affected generalpopulation most severely through the cost of food．Food costs took as much as 80 percent of the workers'income．Wages，it is true，had risen．Extensive family allowances and benefits were paid by the state，and there was full-time and overtime employment．Taken together，these factors enabled the working class to exist but allowed them no sense of security．In this precarious（不稳定的）and discouraging situation，workmen were willing to work overseas for higher wages．The government was reluctant to let workers leave the country．It was feared this immigration of workers would deplete the labor force．The lack of qualified workers might hinder the improvement in the quality of industrial products produced．Qualified workers employed abroad would only increase the quantity of quality goods produced in foreign countries．Also the quantity of quality goods produced in France would not be able to increase as part of its qualified labor force moved to other countries．21．According to the passage，the French workers were ________ ．A）better paid than the workers in any other European countriesB）able to save more money with the increase in their wagesC）anxious to work abroadD）often unable to find work in France22．Rene Coty and Charles Deschanel were both interested in ________．A）better quality in productionB）increasing quantity in productionC）having the government raise tariffs on foreign imports D）eliminating unions in France23．The French government was reluctant to let the workers leave the country because ________ ．A）it would enlarge the working forceB）it would hinder the improvement of quality in industrial productionC）it would hinder the increase in quantity of exportsD）it would damage the imports24．Rents in France ________．A）were extremely highB）were extremely controlledC）took as much as 80percent of the workers'incomeD）had doubled in two years25．According to the passage，the French government ________．A）prohibited French to work abroadB）reduced taxes to fight inflationC）paid family allowances and benefitsD）prohibited the French workers to join labor unionsQuestions 26 to 30 are based on the following passage：Food can be divided into two basic categories：real food and pleasure food．Real food is fuel for the body's needs，while pleasure food，which is high in fat and sugar，is primarily for taste satisfaction．The categories are pretty obvious．Broccoli is real food．Cookies are in the pleasure group．When you are hungry，you are faced with choices．If you aren't suffering from excessive hunger，you can be rational about them．Go to the refrigerator．What looks good？If you have chosen a real food，say，a turkey sandwich，you can be certain your body can use it for fuel．Eat it and enjoy．Two hours later you are hungry again．Back to the refrigerator．What looks good？Ice cream．Stop！Employ your will power just a little．Ice cream is not what your body needs．Does something else look good？Yes，a piece of toast with peanut butter and a glass of milk sound good too．Okay，go ahead，remembering that high-fat real foods should be eaten in moderation．One trick is to eliminate pleasure foods from your kitchen．Instead，keep a variety of high-quality foods available at all times．In short，buy lots of delicious real food，food you really like，and get rid of the junk．But what if you have ice cream on hand and nothing sounds good？Although you don't want to eat pleasure foods whenever the urge strikes，there is a legitimate place for them in your diet．If you have analyzed your feelings and there are no other needs imitating hunger，eat the ice cream．You have not failed．On the contrary，you have accepted your natural appetite，but not blindly．Surprisingly，when you know you can eat anything you want，and that you never have to put up with unsatisfied hunger again，it takes a lot of pressure off．You will begin to want to eat what your body needs，and your body will begin to need foods that will lead to slimness．26．Which of the following statements is NOT true？A）The author is against getting rid of pleasure food altogether．B）One can eat the high-fat real foods heartily since it is fuel for the body．C）Make sure to keep pleasure food such as ice cream in your diet．D）Of course you can sometimes have ice cream if you really want to．27．What would be the best title for this passage？A）Real Food And Pleasure FoodB）Reducing WeightC）Limit Your Consumption Of Pleasure FoodD）How To Choose Food When You Are Hungry28．Whatcan you assume from the last paragraph？A）Being able to eat anything doesn't necessarily imply pleasure．B）Real foods may lead to slimness．C）Eat only what your body needs．D）Be sure to satisfy your hunger whenever it strikes you．29．What can broccoli be except ________ ．A）ice creamB）cauliflowerC）a turkey sandwichD）a piece of toast30．Judging from the fourth paragraph，what doesjunkmean？A）Food like ice cream．B）Food you do not like．C）Pleasure foods．D）Low-quality foods．Questions 31to 35are based on the following passage：Cloning，manipulating a cell from an animal so that it grows into an exact copy of that animal，is the forbidden fruit of biotechnology．Some scientists were so sure it could not be done that，in the 1970s，they discouraged moralists（伦理学家）from discussing its moral implications．Yet at the same time other scientists，secretly，in out-of-the-way labs，were getting ever closer to making clones．For ten years，scientists have been cloning sheep and cows from embryo（胚胎）cells．But so far Dolly is the only animal cloned from an adult cell，not from an embryo．She is living proof that scientists have solved one of the most challenging problems of cell biology．The question now is how soon will scientists clone humans．Nature，the scientific journal that published the Dolly paper，commented，Cloning humans from adults tissues is likely to be achievable any time from one to ten years from now．Most scientists agree there is no insurmountable obstacle in human cloning．But a human clone，even though it might resemble the individual from whom it was made，would differ dramatically in personality and character，intelligence and talents．You will never get100percent identity，says psychologist Jerome Kagan of Harvard，because of chance factors and because environments are never exactly the same．That，however，is small comfort to many people．Shortly after Dolly's birth announcement，President Clinton ordered a group of experts to come up with proposals for government action．With the cloning of humans within reach，whether it is to be banned or regulated is now on the nation's moral agenda（议事日程）．Some regard the cloning of humans as inherently evil，a morally unjustifiable intrusion into human life．They measure the morality of any act by the intention behind it；still others are concerned primarily with consequences for society as well as for individuals．For the moment it seems that the latest achievement in the biotech field has provided everyone with food for thought．31．In what way is Dolly different from earlier clones？A）It is cloned from human embryo．B）It is cloned from a human cell．C）It is cloned from an adult cell．D）It is cloned from an adult embryo．32．What is the prospect，according to most scientists，of making clones from adult human tissues？A）Such clones will be exactly like the one from whom it was made．B）It would be possible within the decade．C）There still exist some technical problems．D）It is impossible to make such clones in one to ten years from now．33．Why did Clinton order a group of experts to make proposals for government action？A）He wants to quicken the pace of cloning research．B）The success of cloning involves serious moral evaluation problems．C）He wants to ban the human cloning research．D）He is worried about the funding of the further research．34．Food for thoughtin the last paragraph means ________．A）worry for foodB）increased food to be expectedC）something worthy of considerationD）reasons for deep understanding35．The best title for the selection can be ________．A）BiotechnologicalSuccess And Its Possible ConsequencesB）Dolly Is Only The BeginningC）The Definition Of CloningD）Cloning Humans From Adults'TissuesQuestions 36to 40are based on the following passage：Failure is probably the most fatiguing experience a person ever has．There is nothing more exhausting than not succeeding，being blocked，not moving ahead．It is an evil circle．Failure breeds fatigue，and fatigue makes it harder to get to work，which adds to the fatigue．We experience this tiredness in two main ways，as start-up fatigue and performance fatigue．In the former case，we keep putting off a task that we are forced to take up．Either because it is too tedious or because it is too difficult，we avoid it．And the longer we postpone it，the more tired we feel．Such start-up fatigue is very real，even not actually physical，not something in our muscles and bones．The remedy is obvious，though perhaps not easy to apply：willpower exercise．Themoment I find myself turning away from a job，or putting it under a pile of things I have to do，I clear my desk of everything else and attach the objectionable item first．To prevent start-up fatigue，always treat the most difficult job first．Performance fatigue is more difficult to handle．Here we are willing to get started，but we can't seem to do the job right．Its difficulties appear to be insurmountable and however hard we work，we fail again and again．The mounting experience of failure carries with it an ever-increasing burden of mental fatigue．In such a situation，I work as hard as I can，then let the unconscious take over．36．Which of the following can be called an evil circle？A）Success-zeal-success-zeal．B）Failure-tiredness-failure-tiredness．C）Failure-zeal-failure-tiredness．D）Success-exhaustion-success-exhaustion．37．According to the passage，when keeping putting off a task，we can experience ________．A）tirednessB）performance fatigueC）start-up fatigueD）unconsciousness38．To overcome start-up fatigue ，we need ________ ．A）toughnessB）preventionC）musclesD）strong willpower39．The wordinsurmountablein the last paragraph probably means ________ ．A）that can not be solvedB）that can not be understoodC）that can not be imaginedD）that can not be objected40．According to the passage，which of the following statements is NOT true？A）It is easier to overcome start-up fatigue．B）Performance fatigue occurs when the job we are willing to take gets blocked．C）One will finally succeed after experiencing the evil circle．D）Fatigue often accompanies fatigue．Part III Vocabulary and Structure（20 minutes）Directions：There are 30 incomplete sentences in this part．For each sentence there are four choices marked A），B），C）and D）．Choose the ONE that best completes the sentence．Then mark the corresponding letter on the ANSWER SHEET with a single line through the center．41．I haven't

afloat，the British built the Titanic．It was so superior to anything else on the seas that it was consideredunsinkable．So sure of this were the owners that they provided lifeboats for only 950of its possible 3，500 passengers．Many passengers were aboard the night it rammed an ice-burg，only two days at sea and more than half way between England and New York，the destination．Because the luxury liner was traveling so fast，it was impossible to avoid the ghostly looking ice-burg．An inextinguishable fire also contributed to the ship's disaster．Panic increased the number of deaths as people jumped into the icy water or fought to be among the few to board the lifeboats．Four hours after the mishap，another ship，the Carpathia，rescued the survivors，less than a third of those originally aboard．The famous Titanic enjoyed only two days of sailing glory on its maiden voyage in 1912before plunging into 12，000feet of water near the coast of Newfoundland，where it lies today．Questions：71．The owners of

But have you ever wondered what exactly a calorie is?What is a Calorie?A calorie is a unit of energy. We tend to associate calories with food, but they apply to anything containing energy. For example, a gallon (about 4 liters) of gasoline contains about 31,000,000 calories.Specifically, a calorie is the amount of energy, or heat, it takes to raise the temperature of 1 gram of water 1 degree Celsius (1.8 degrees Fahrenheit). One calorie is equal to 4.184 joules (焦耳), a common unit of energy used in the physical sciences. Most of us think of calories in relation to food, as in "This can of soda has 200 calories." It turns out that the calories on a food package are actually kilocalories (1,000 calories=1 kilocalorie). The word is sometimes capitalized to show the difference, but usually not. A food calorie contains 4,184 joules. A can of soda containing 200 food calories contains 200,000 regular calories, or 200 kilocalories. A gallon of gasoline contains 31,000 kilocalories.The same applies to exercise—when a fitness chart says you burn about 100 calories for every mile you jog, it means 100 kilocalories. For the duration of this article, when we say "calorie", we mean "kilocalorie"What Calories Do?Human beings need energy to survive—to breathe, move, pump blood—and theyacquire this energy from food.The number of calories in a food is a measure of how-much potential energy that food possesses. A gram of carbohydrates(碳水化合物) has 4 calories, a gram of protein has 4 calories, and a gram of fat has 9 calories. Foods are a compilation of these three building blocks. So if you know how many carbohydrates, fats and proteins are in any given food, you know how many calories, or how much energy, that food contains.If we look at the nutritional label on the back of a packet of maple-and-brown-sugar oatmeal, we find that it has 160 calories. This means that if we were to pour this oatmeal into a dish, set the oatmeal on fire and get it to burn completely (which is actually pretty tricky), the reaction would produce 160 kilocalories (remember: food calories are kilocalories)—enough energy to raise the temperature of 160 kilograms of water 1 degree Celsius.If we look closer at the nutritional label, we see that our oatmeal has 2 grams of fat, 4 grams of protein and 32 grams of carbohydrates, producing a total of 162 calories (apparently, food manufacturers like to round down). Of these 162 calories, 18 come from fat (9 cal×2g), 16 come from protein (4 cal×4g) and 128 come from carbohydrates (4 cal×32g).Our bodies "burn" the calories in the oatmeal through metabolic (新陈代谢的) processes, by which enzymes (酵素) break the carbohydrates into glucose (葡萄糖) and other sugars, the fats into glycerol (丙三醇) and fatty acids and the proteins into amino acids (氨基酸). These molecules are then transported through the bloodstream to the cells, where they are either absorbed for immediate use or sent on to the final stage of metabolism in which they are reacted with oxygen to release their stored energy.Your Caloric NeedsJust how many calories do our cells need to function well? The number is different for every person. You may notice on the nutritional labels of the foods you buy that the "percent daily values" are based on a 2,000 calorie diet. 2,000 calories is a rough average of what a person needs to eat in a day, but your body might need more or less than 2,000 calories. Height, weight, gender, age and activity level all affect your caloric needs.There are several factors that regulate how many calories we need each day. Some of these considerations are your metabolic rate (新陈代谢率), physical activity level and thermic (热的) effect of food, sleep patterns, age, gender, body mass and body size.To determine your caloric intake value for building mass, multiply your body weight by 24, while multiplying your body weight by 17 to determine your approximate maintenance level caloric intake.The main function of carbohydrates is to be a source of energy for the body. In the end, energy drawn from the breakdown of glucose and glycogen (肝糖) is used to fuel muscular contractions as well as provide a "protein sparing" effect.Unlike the other macro-nutrients, proteins contain nitrogen (氮) which is important in the formation of new muscle tissue. The human body requires 22different amino acids, which are found in protein, and can be classified as either essential or non-essential.Essential amino acids can't be synthesized in the body, while non-essential amino acids can be. Under normal conditions, protein serves an important' role in the maintenance, repair, and growth of body tissues.Proteins make up about 15% of your total body mass and have several roles in the body. Proteins also regulate the acid/base quality of body fluids and are necessary for muscle contractions, hormone production, and the activation of metabolic processes.In the human body, fat provides the largest store of potential energy, produces hormones, strengthens cell structures, transmits nerve impulses and provides insulation (绝热) from cold environments. Fats actually contribute to about 50% of the energy required during light and moderate exercise, and this percentage rises as the work period is prolonged.Calories, Fat and ExerciseSo what happens if you take in more or fewer calories than your body bums? You either gain or lose fat, respectively. An accumulation of 3,500 extra calories is stored by your body as 1 pound of fat—fat is the body's way of saving energy for a rainy day. If, on the other hand, you bum 3,500 more calories than you eat, whether by exercising more or eating less, your body converts 1 pound of its stored fat into energy to make up for the deficit.One thing about exercise is that it raises your metabolic rate not only while you're huffing and puffing (喘不过气来) on the treadmill (踏车). Your metabolism takes a while to return to its normal pace. It continues to function at a higher level; your body bums an increased number of calories for about two hours after you've stopped exercising.Lots of people wonder if it matters where their calories come from. At its most basic, if we eat exactly the number of calories that we bum and if we're only talking about weight, the answer is no a calorie is a calorie. A protein calorie is not different from a fat calorie—they are simply units of energy. As long as you bum what you eat, you will maintain your weight; and as long as you bum more than you eat, you'll lose weight.But if we're talking nutrition, it definitely matters where those calories originate. Carbohydrates and proteins are healthier sources of calories than fats. Although our bodies do need a certain amount of fat to function properly—an adequate supply of fat allows your body to absorb the vitamins you ingest—an excess of fat can have serious health consequences.1.

Part ⅣReading Comprehension (Reading in Depth)Section ADirections: In this section, there is a short passage with 5 questions or incomplete statements. Re ad the passage carefully. Then answer the questions or complete the statements in the fewest possi ble words on Answer Sheet.The bacteria that cause a common food-borne illness show low drug resistance in Australia, unlike similar strains from the United States and Europe, a study has found. Scientists behind the finding say Australia’s de facto ban on certain antibiotics in poultry (家禽) and other livestock helps explain why.In this study, researchers analyzed samples of Campylobacter jejuni(空肠弯曲杆菌) bacteria from 585 patients in five Australian states. Scientists found that only two percent of the samples were resistant to ciprofloxacin (环丙沙星). One of the group of antibiotics known as fluroroquinolonones.By contrast, 18 percent of Campylobacter(弧形形杆菌) sample in U. S. patients areimmunetofluoroquinolonones, which have been used in the U.S. to prevent or treat respiratory（呼吸的）disease in poultry for a decade.The study, led by Leanne Unicomb, a graduate student at Australian National University in Canberra, was published in the May issue of the journal Clinical Infections Diseases."The findings add to the growing body of evidence suggestive of the problems of using fluoroquinolonones in food-producing animals," Unicomb wrote in an email. Campylobacter is the most common food-borne disease in the U. S. and many other in dustrialized countries. People can contract the pathogen(病原体) by consuming undercooked poultry or meat, raw milk, or contaminated(被污染的) water.Symptoms include fever, vomiting, and diarrhea (腹). In rare cases, the disease can trigger paralysis or death. “In most industrial countries Campylobacter is more commonly reported than Salmonella(沙门氏菌), a better-known cause of food poisioning.” Unicomb said. “The number of cases of Campylobacter has been on the rise in Australia since the early 90’s.”In the U.S., about 1.4 million people contracted Campylobacter infections last year, according to the U.S. Center for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) in Atlanta, Georgia. While the infection rate in the U.S. Has dropped over the last decade, the bacteria have grown more drug-resistant.According to the CDC, surveys between 1986 and 1990 found no signs of resistance to the antibiotics in U.S. Campylobacter infections. But by 1997, strainsresistanct to the antibiotics accounted for 12 percent of human cases. In 2001 the figure climed to 18 percent.Public health experts say many factors contribute to Campylobacter's drug resistance; the widespread use of fluoroquinolonones by U.S. poultry farmers over the past decade is one of them.Fluoroquinolones were first approved for use in humans by the U.S. Food and drug Administration (FDA) in 1986. In 1995 the FDA granted poultry farmers' permission to use the drugs in livestock. Last year the FDA banned the antibiotic from food-producing animals, citing the concerns raised by public health experts over drug-resistant bacteria.Frederick Angulo, an epidemiologist with the CDC, monitors the drugs resistance of food-borne pathogens in the U.S. food supply. “The people who are most likely to get infected with food-borne pathogens in the U.S. food supply. “The people who are most likely to get infected with food-borne diseases include the most vulnerable people in the population—infants and young children and also the elderly,” he said. He says that Campylobacter infections are entirely preventable. As is the b acteria’s antibiotic resistance. “In many ways what’s occurring with Campylobacter is an indicator for a broader issue, which is …antibiotic-resistant bacteria in the food supply,” he said.47. Why do food-borne pathogens in Australia show low drug resistance?48. In many industrialized countries, the most common food-borne disease is ______.49. The food-borne disease may cause fever, vomiting, diarrhea and even ______.50. The FDA banned the use of antibiotic from food-producing animals becausepublic health experts were concerned about ______.51. What does Angulo say about the bacteria's antibiotic resistance?Section BDirections: There are 2 passages in this section. Each passage is followed by some questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D You should decide on the best choice and mark the corresponding letter on Answer Sheet 2 with a single line through the center.Passage OneIt is a curious paradox that we think of the physical sciences as “hard”, the social sciences as “soft,” and the biological sciences as somewhere in between. This is interpreted to mean that our knowledge of physical system is more certain than our knowledge of biological systems, and these in turn are more certain than our knowledge of social systems. In terms of our capacity of sample the relevant universes, however, and the probability that our images of these universes are at least approximately correct, one suspects that a reverse order is more reasonable. We are able to sample earth’s social systems with some degree of confidence that we have a reasonable sample of the total universe being investigated. Our knowledge of social systems, therefore, while it is in many ways extremely inaccurate, is not likely to be seriously overturned by new discoveries. Even the folk knowledge in social systems on which ordinary life is based in earning, spending, organizing, marrying, taking part in political activities, fighting and so on, is not very dissimilar from the more sophisticated images of the social system derived form the social sciences, even though it is built upon the very imperfect samples of personal experience. In contrast, our image of the astronomical universe, or even if earth’s geological history, ca easily be subject to revolutionary changes as new data come in and new theories are worked out. If we define the “security” of our image of various parts of the total system as the probability of their suffering significant changes, then we would reverse the order forhardness and as the most secure, the physical sciences as the least secure, and again the biological sciences as somewhere in between. Our image of the astronomical universe is the least secure of all simply because we observe such a fantastically small sample of it and its record-keeping is trivial records of biological systems. Records of the astronomical universe, despite the fact that we learnt things as they were long age, are limited in the extreme. Even in regard to such a close neighbor as the moon, which we have actually visited, theories about its origin and history are extremely different, contradictory, and hard to choose among. Our knowledge of physical evolution is incomplete and insecure.52.The word “paradox” (Line 1, Para. 1) means “_____”.A.implicationB.contradictionC.interpretationD.confusion53.Accroding to the author, we should reverse our classification of the physical sciences as “hard” and the social sciences as “soft” because _______.A.a reverse ordering will help promote the development of the physical sciencesB.our knowledge of physical systems is more reliable than that of social systemsC.our understanding of the social systems is approximately correctD.we are better able to investigate social phenomena than physical phenomena54.The author believes that our knowledge of social systems is more secure than that of physical systems because______.A.it is not based on personal experienceB.new discoveries are less likely to occur in social sciencesC.it is based on a fairly representative quantity of dataD.the records of social systems are more reliable55.The chances of the physical sciences being subject to great changes are the biggest because _____.A.contradictory theories keep emerging all the timeB.new information is constantly coming inC.the direction of their development is difficult to predictD.our knowledge of the physical world is inaccurate56.We know less about the astronomical universe than we don about any social system because ______.A.theories of its origin and history are variedB.our knowledge of it is highly insecureC.only a very small sample of it has been observedD.few scientists are involved in the study of astronomyPassage TwoQuestions 57 to 61 are based on the following passage.Our government recently has focused on the importance of investment in clean energy and energy efficiency as the best way to sustain ably grow America´s dying economy, and President Obama has called for the creation of a high-speed rail system as a way to generate green jobs, enhance economic productivity and reduce carbon emissions. The White House has announced the awarding of $ 8 billion in stimulus funding to kick-start high-speed-rail projects and improve service in 13 corridors across the country.That´s a nice move, but America´s antiquated (旧式的，过去的) rail system will have to advance a long way just to make it to the present, let alone the future. U. S. intercity railroads are a laughingstock compared with those in most other developed nations.Today you can travel the 250 miles from Paris to Lyon on the high-speed TGV in two hours. Covering a similar distance from Philadelphia to Boston takes some five hours. and that´s on an Amtrak Acela train, the closest thing the U.S. has to high-speed rail. "Every other major industrialized nation has recognized that high-speed rail is key to economic growth and mobility," says Petra Todorovich, director of the America 2050 program at the Regional Planning Association. "It´s time for America to realize that as well."But whatever the public´s vision of a sparkling new 150-m. p. h. bullet train like those in Japan and Europe, the reality is that not all, or even most, of the stimulus money will go toward creating entirely new rail service. Instead, much of the initial funding will be spent improving and speeding up existing service.Still, the initial round of $ 8 billion is just a tiny percentage of what it would cost to significantly overhaul(彻底革新) the country´s rail system. And there are concerns that by spreading the funds to so many different projects in so many different states, it won´t be possible to make a real difference in any one place, It doesn´t help that the one region that could most obviously benefit from truly high-speed rail--the Boston-to Washington corridor-received a mere $112million in funding, in part because building new track in the congested area would be prohibitively expensive and politically challenging.Nevertheless, high-speed rail is an idea whose time has come---at least for environmentalists. According to Environment America, high-speed rail uses a third less energy per mile than auto or air travel, and a nationwide system could reduce oil use by 125 million bbl. a year. In addition, high speed rail represents the kind of long-term infrastructure investment that will pay back for decades. "This is a down payment on a truly national program," said Petra, "It will change the way we travel and change the way we work and live."57. What do we learn about the current U.S. intercity railroads from the passage?A. It is already a high-speed rail system.B. It attracts a lot of fund for improvement.C. It covers a long way nationwide.D. It lags far behind other developed nations.58. What is the main reason for developing high-speed rail in some developed countries?A. To shorten the time people spent traveling intercity by train.B. To solve the unemployment by generating more green jobs.C. To boost investment in clean energy and energy efficiency.D. To improve economic growth and mobility sustainably.59. What will the $ 8 billion funding mainly be invested in?A. Sparkling new high-speed bullet trains.B. Creating entirely new railroad service.C. Modifying the existing railroad service.D. Helping regions that might most benefit from the rail.60. Why doesn´t it help for Boston-to-Washington corridor to receive a mere $ 112 million infunding?A. This region is less likely to benefit from the new rail.B. This region is well-developed and don´t need money.C. There is no room for new tracks in this developed area.D. There would be economical and political oppositions.61. What can we infer from the last paragraph?A. High-speed rail is a rewarding investment in the long run.B. Only environmentalists like the idea of high-speed rail system.C. Infrastructure investment won´t be paid back until decades later.D. It will cost the nation too much to invest in high-speed rail system.Part V ClozeDirections: There are 20 blanks in the following passage.

六级考试模拟试卷1答案KeysModel composition:Psychological Problems among College StudentsThere is no denying the fact that psychological problems are becoming serious among college students.Reports are often heard that some collegians committed suicide or murdered their roommates.Typical examples include the case of a Chinese student named Ma Jiajue and that of a Korean student studying in the U.S.A number of factors may account for these young men and women’s troubles, but the following might the critical ones.First, as young adults, most of them are at the stage of personality formation and are quite sensitive to their surroundings.Secondly, they are at a critical point of personal development and are facing pressure from various aspects: love, academy, job-seeking and so on.To make things worse, most of them are living off home and without their parents care and supervision.In view of the seriousness of the problem, effective measures must be taken before things get worse.First, it is essential that the channel of communication be kept open among students, between students and their superintendents as well as between students and their parents.Besides, psychological counseling should be enhanced and rendered to problem students in time.Only with these measures taken can we expect sound growth of college students.1-7BADABCC8 sunlight9 toxins10 liver, yeast and dairy products11-15 CDDDD16-20 AABAB21-25 DDABD26-30 DCCBD31-35 ABDBD36 activity37 occur38 average39 temperature40 muscles41 breathing42 predominating43 consciousness44.Your brain waves will show the large slow waves that are known as the delta rhythm45.Your eyes will begin to dart around under your closed eyelids as if you were looking at something occurring In front of you46.Provided that you do not wake up during the first sleep period, your body will soon relax again, your breathing will grow slow and regular once more47 They have more choices.48 the government49 Because it is a valuable competitive asset.50 Switzerland51 Electronic shoppers51-55 DDCCB56-60 ACBCD61-65 ABDAD66-70 CBCAA71-75 CBDCC76-80 ABCAD81.reacts three times as fast as the other one82.are being replaced by the computer and the projector83.measures were taken to solve the problem of traffic jams84.crying over spilled milk85.Nor did the wife say a word of welcome.Transcripts11M: The view is spectacular.Could you take a picture of me with the mountains in the background?W: I'm afraid I just ran out of filmQ:What does the woman mean?12.W: Nobody told me that Bill was in the hospital.M: Sorry.I meant to give you a call when I found out but it slipped my mind.Q: What does the man mean?13.M:Can I borrow your calculus textbook? I left mine in the classroom.And it was gone when I went back.W:That happened to me once.I'd almost given up on finding it until I checked it at the lost-and-found at the information desk downstairs in the lobby.Q:What does the woman imply about the man should do?14.M: I'm really having trouble with this calculus course.If I can't start doing better soon, I'm going to have to drop it.W: Why don't you get some help from the graduate assistant? That's what he's there for.Q:What does the woman suggest the man do?15.W: I've been working on this report all day.And I've still got 12 pages to write.At this rate, I'll never get it done by tomorrow.M: Oh, that's right.You weren't in class today, so you probably haven't heard that the deadline's been extended aweek.Q:What does the man imply?16.W: I don't think I want to live in the dormitory next year.I need more privacy.M: I know what you mean.But check out the cost of renting an apartment first, I wouldn't be surprised if you changed your mind.Q:What does the man think the woman will do?17.M: Those airplanes are certainly loud.W: Aren't they though?Q: What does the woman think of the airplanes?18.W: My brother is coming this weekend and I thought three of us could go out to dinner Saturday night.Any suggestions ?M: It's up to you.I don't know the restaurants around here that well.So you know a better place to go than me. Q: What does the man mean?Long conversationConverstation IW: Hi, Bill, how is it going?M: Oh, hi, Jan. I’m OK. How about you?W: You can probably tell just by looking at me. I’m really busy. Hey, what are you reading?M: A pretty interesting article. My biology professor assigned it, and I thought I just look it over. It’s about endangered species.W: That sounds pretty interesting. I’m getting frustrated with the two research papers I’m struggling with. M: Oh?W: And can you believe they are both due on the same day?M: That’s tough.W: I’ll get through it. So what’s this you are reading?M: Well, it’s basically about the choices environmentalists are faced with. You know, these days it is difficult to get funding.W: Wait a minute. Is the focus on biology or economics?M: Both. Environmentalists don’t have enough funding to save every endangered species in the world, so they have to decide which species should be saved firstly.W: Can you give me an example of what you mean?M: Take for instance, two animals, the spotted awl and the tailed toad. The article says the toad is unique. It has no relatives. But there are a lot of varieties of awls.W: So, if that toad became extinct, we’d lose an important link in the chain of revolution, right?M: Exactly. So it might be clear choice of which animal to save.W: I see. I am glad I don’t have to make that kind of decision. Aren’t you?19 Q. Why is the woman so busy?20 Q.

Well, the paper wasps can.Each wasp nest has a special combination of plant fibers and so the wasps that live there have a unique smell.Those two are the only kinds I've read about so far.M: Well, you've still got time.It sounds like that the bees are picky about who comes to their family reunion.23.What is the relationship between the speakers?24.Why was the man worried at first?25.According to the man, how do some bees use their sense of smell?Section BPassage 1OK, in the last class we talked about the classification of trees and we ended up with a basic description of angiosperm.You remember that those are plants with true flowers and seeds that develop into fruits.The common broad leaf trees we have on campus fall into this category.But our pines don't.Now I hope you all followed my advice and wore comfortable shoes because as I said today we are going to do a little field study.To get started let me describe a couple of broadleaf trees we have in front of us.I'm sure you've all noticed that this big tree next to Brett Hall.It's a black walnut that must be 80 feet tall.As a matter of fact there is a plaque identifying.It is the tallest black walnut in the state.And from here we can see the beautiful archway of trees at the commons.They are American elms.The ones along the commons were planted when the college was founded 120 years ago.They have distinctive dark green leaves that lock lopsided because the two sides ofthe leaf are unequal.I want you to notice the elm right outside the Jackson Hall.Some of the leaves have withered and turned yellow, maybe due to Dutch elm disease.Only a few branches seem affective so far but if this tree is sick it'll have to be cut down.Well, let's move on and I'll describe what we see as we go.26.What are the students going to do during this class period?27.In what class is this lecture probably being given?28.What is remarkable about the black walnut tree outside Brett Hall?29.What is the problem with the elm tree near Jackson Hall?Passage 2What was the most popular mix about the United States in the 19th Century was that of the free and simple life of the farmer.It was said that the farmers worked hard on their own land to produce whatever their families' needed.They might sometimes trade with their neighbors, but in general they could get along just fine by relying on themselves, not on commercial ties with others.This is how Thomas Jefferson idealized the farmers at the beginning of the 19th century.And at that time, this may have been close to the truth especially on the frontier.But by the mid century sweeping changes in agriculture were well under way as farmers began to specialized in the raising of crops such as cotton or corn or wheat.By late in the century revolutionary invents in farm machinery has vastly increased the production of specialized crops and extensive network of railroads had linked farmers throughout the country to market in the east and even overseas.By raising and selling specialized crops, farmers could afford more and finer goods and achieved much higher standard of living but at a price.Now farmers were no longer dependent just on the weather and their own efforts, their lives were increasing controlled by the banks, which had powder to grant or deny loans for new machinery, and by the railroads which set the rates for shipping their crops to the market.As businessmen, farmers now had to worry about national economic depression and the implement of world supply and demand on for example, the of price of wheat in hands.And so by the end of the 19th century, the era of Jefferson's independent farmer had come to a close.30.What is the main topic of the talk?31.According to the professor, what was the major change in the agriculture during the 19th century?32.According to the professor, what was one result of the increased use of machinery on farms of the United States?Passage 3It is common knowledge that music can have a powerful effect on our emotions.In fact, since 1930s, music therapists have relied on music to soothe patients and help control pain.Now psychologists are confirming that music can also help relieve depression and improve concentration.For instance, in a recent study, 15 surgeons were given some highly stressed math problems to solve.They were divided into three groups: one worked in silence, and in another, the surgeons listened to music of their choice on headphones; the third listened to classic music chosen by the researchers.The results of the study may surprise you.The doctors who got to choose their music experienced less stress and scored better than the others.One possible explanation is that listening to music you like stimulates the Alfa-wave in the brain, increases the heart rate and expands the breathing.That helps to reduce stress and sharpen concentration.Other research suggests a second relation between the music and the brain: by examining the students’ blood after they listening to a variety of classic music collections, the researchers found that some students showed a large increase in endorphin, a natural pain reliever, this supports what music therapists have known for years: Music can help rejuvenate or soothe the patient.33.According to the speaker how is the music therapy currently used in medicine?34 What did the study done with surgeons show?35.In the study of students exposed to classic music, what effect did the music have?Part III Compound dictationSleep is part of a person's daily activity cycle.There are several different stages of sleep and they occur in cycles, If you are an average sleeper, your sleep cycle is as follows.When you first drift off into slumber, your eyes will roll about a bit, your temperature will drop slightly, your muscles will relax, and your breathing will slow and become quite regular.Your brain waves slow down a bit too with the alpha rhythm of rather fast waves predominating for the first few minutes.This is called stage 1 sleep.For the next half hour or so as you relax more and more you will drift down through stage 2 and stage 3 sleeps.The lower your stage of sleep the slower your brain waves will be.Then about 40 to 60 minutes after you lose consciousness you will have reached thedeepest sleep of all.Your brain waves will show the large slow waves that are known as the delta rhythm.This is stage 4 sleep.You do not remain at this deep fourth stage all night long, but instead about 80 minutes after you fall into slumber, your brain activity level will increase again slightly.The delta rhythm will disappear to be replaced by the activity pattern of brain waves.Your eyes will begin to dart around under your closed eyelids as if you were looking at something occurring In front of you.This period of rapid eye movement lasts for some ~ to 15 minutes and is called REM sleep.It is during REM sleep that most dreams seem to occur.Provided that you do not wake up during the first sleep period, your body will soon relax again, your breathing will grow slow and regular once more .You will slip gently back from stage I to 4 .。

However, various uncivilized behaviors in tourism have put lots of strain on scenic environment. So when travelling, we should behave as civilly as possible and be civilized tourists.Then how to be a civilized tourist? As far as I am concerned, firstly, a civilized tourist is supposed to behave properly in public and consider others’ feelings. Secondly, a civilized tourist will be proactive to protect the environment and never damages the cultural relics and public facilities. Thirdly, it is necessary to observe the public order, meet the etiquette and keep polite. For example, be quiet in public places. Finally, a civilized tourist should respect the local culture and customs.As the saying goes,“Politeness costs nothing and gains everything.”Travelling civilly can not only show the tourists’ good cultivation, but also contribute to a pleasant mood.Only by protecting the beautiful environment in scenic spots can people fully enjoy the gifts of nature. Therefore, each of us should be a civilized tourist.Part II Listening Comprehension (30 minutes) 1~5 CACBB 6~10 BDCDD11~15 ABDCD 16~20 DBCDB21~25 DCCCD26.geographic regions 27.inland 28.consisting mainly of 29.reclaimed 30.gently 31.irrigated 32.fertile 33.Averaging 34.humid and mild 35.exclusivelyPart III Reading Comprehension (40 minutes) Section A36-40 JILDE 41-45 FOACG文章精要:文章描述了关于精神疾病患者就业情况的一些现状，如他们就业困难或受到歧视。

37．I 分析句子结构，It is 是主语从句，此处要表达“据调查”、“据报道”“据估计”等意义，结合选项，it is estimated“据估计”符合文意。
38． L 空格前为such as，显然此处是举例，应填名词，是对前文mental illness的举例，所以空处表示的是一种“心理疾病”，结合选项，depression意为“抑郁症”，符合题意。
39． D 分析句子结构，only about half are employed主谓成分完整，故空处应填副词，修饰employed。
结合选项，并根据句意：甚至对于相对较常见的心理疾病，如抑郁症，只有大约一半的患者在被雇佣时，只有 competitively合适，意为“有竞争力地”。
40． E 空格前为不定式符号to，空格后为介词with，判断此处应填一个动词，且与with 搭配。
