For each of them there are 4 choices marked A, B, C and D. Choose the best one and mark your answer on the ANSWER SHEET.Passage One We are all busy talking about and using the Internet, but how many of us know the history of the Internet? Many people are surprised when they find that the Internet was setup as recently as the 1960s. At that time, computers were large and expensive. Computer networks didn‘t work well. If one computer in the network broke down, then the whole network stopped. So a new network system had to be set up. It should be good enough to be used by many different computers. If part of the network was not working, information could be sen through another part. In this way the computer network system would keep on working all the time. At first the Internet was only used by the government, but in the 1970s, universities, hospitals and banks began to use it, too. However, computers were still very expensive and the Internet was difficult to use. At the beginning of the 1990s, computers became cheaper and easier to use. And scientists developed software that made Internet “surfing” more convenient. Today it is easy to get online and it is said that millions of people use the Internet every day.16.

He did not want to be early or late. He had forgotten to put on his watch so he went up to a man who was waiting for a taxi.“Excuse me, sir,” he said, very politely, “but could you tell me the time?”The man, who was very well-dressed and looked quite rich, said nothing. He did not even look at Alan. Alan spoke to him again. “Excuse me, sir,” he said, “but could you please tell me what time it is?”This time the man looked at him, but he did not speak and looked quickly away. Alan thought to himself: well, he can hear me; he must be just rude. So Alan asked again, “Why wouldn‘t you tell me the time, sir?”The man turned towards him and said, “Put yourself in my shoes. I am standing here waiting for a taxi. You come up to me and ask me for the time. If I tell it to you, you will thank me. I will say ‘That’s all right.‘ You may then say ’It‘s a beautiful day,’ to which I may reply ‘Yes, I like these sunny winter days.’ Before we know what is happening we have a friendly conversation. You are a pleasant, polite yo7ung man, so when my taxi comes, I offer you a ride. You accept. We talk. I like you. You like me. I invite you to my home. You meet my daughter. She is a very pretty girl. You are a good-looking man. You like each other. Soon you fall in love. You want to marry. Now do you understand my problem?”Alan shook his head. “No, sir, I‘m sorry, I don’t. Everything you have said seems very natural to me.”“Exactly,” the man said, “and I do not want my daughter to marry a man who is too poor to buy a watch. Good morning to you.” And with these words he hurried away.21. Why did Alan ask the man what time it was?A. He was too late.B. He was very early.C. He had left his watch home.D.

Let‘s start with four. The beach, famous for its water temperature, air temperature and waves, is the first beauty. There are hundreds of miles of beaches on the twenty islands of Hawaii. They are thought to be among the finest beaches in the world. Then, what do you think would be the second beautiful thing? It is volcanoes (火山), ofcourse. These volcanoes are not just a part of the islands; they made the islands in the first place. Because of them the islands are still growing. What would be the third thing of beautythat the first visitor to Hawaii would notice? It probably wouldn’t be just one thing, but many things: all the wonderful fruits and flowers of the islands. Sugar cane, bananas and pineapples are Hawaii‘s biggest exports. Sugar cane has been growing in Hawaii for a thousand years. As for pineapples, the islands produce more than any other places in the world, which has made Dole Company the biggest fruit-packing company in the world. The fourth and most beautiful thing about Hawaii is the people who live there. The Hawaiians never rush, and perhaps this is because they care more for human life than they care for the machine. There is an old Hawaiian law that a man can go to sleep in the middle of the road if he wants to. What makes the people of Hawaii so beautiful is their feeling about people. There are 64 different combinations of races on the islands, and they all live in peace. They believe “Above all nations is humanity.” That is the most beautiful thing of all.26. According to the passage, Hawaii is made up of ___________.A. one islandB. twenty islandsC. sixty-four islandsD. hundreds of islands27. Why are the volcanoes so special to the islands?A. They are not a part of the islands.B. They actually made the islands.C. They are the first in the world.D. They are growing.28.

The people in Hawaii are the most beautiful thing because ___________.A. they had a peaceful historyB. they can sleep in the middle of the roadC. there are 64 different races on the islandsD. they care more for people than anything else30. According to the passage, “above all nations is humanity” might mean ___________.A. not all nations have humanityB. humanity is as important as a nationC. humanity has no national boundariesD. all human beings should live in peacePassage FourThere is a measurable relation between how much a person learns and his attitude toward the subject to be learned. When faced with a difficult learning task, one path to success is to concentrate on the positive aspects of the subject matter. If a student has a boring teacher, one solution is to look for the positive aspects of completing the course, regardless of how boring the teacher happens to be. To accomplish this might require a private tutor or some independent reading, but with the right attitude, success is possible. Over-achievers – students who do better than their test scores show – usually have a positive interest toward learning. They may learn some things more slowly, and they may make more efforts, but, to compensate (补偿), they are often better at applying what they have learned. As long as they do not have emotional problems, they are successful. Under-achievers – those who function below their ability shown by test scored – often tend to allow a few negative factors to affect them. Because of their negative attitudes, they sometimes become unfairly critical of teachers. They allow themselves to get bored when it is not necessary. In short, their attitudes often cause them to learn less than over-achievers. If you learn to replace a negative attitude toward learning with something more positive, you are on the road to achieving almost any goal you desire. For example, if yourealize a personal computer with a word processor would improve your performance, but have anattitude that keeps telling you that a computer is difficult to operate, you tend to make all kinds of excuses. In short, you resist making full use of a terrific tool, simply because your negative attitude prevents you from learning.31. What does the author think a student should do if he has a boring teacher?A. Look for a new course.B. Be critical of the teacher.C. Complete the course with a good score.D. Have a right attitude toward the teacher.32. The writer thinks that over-achievers and under-achievers mainly differ in ___________.A. their test scoresB. their judgment of othersC. their attitudes toward learningD. their skills in using computers33. The underlined phrase function below their ability shown by test scores means the under-achievers _____________.A. often get low scores in testsB. do worse in actual learning than in testsC. usually do better in tests than the over-achieversD. are always slow in learning and have to make more efforts34. The example of the personal computer shows that ___________.A. finding excuses helps in learningB. to react negatively can be harmfulC. hard-working is the key to successD. making use of the computer is important35. What is the main idea of the passage?A. Attitudes play an important role in learning.B. Students should learn how to use personal computers.C. Teachers are not so important in the learning process.D. There are many differences between over-and under-achievers.Part III Vocabulary and Structure (20 points)Directions: There are 40 incomplete sentences in this part.

One Friday afternoon he was riding along the track towards the Henderson farm. He was looking for a prize bull which had escaped from the Borrogee paddock. He reached the hills and saw at once that he could not go further. There had been a fire in the forest which had gone out. But the air was still full of smoke and fallen trees had blocked the track. Jack was just going to turn back when he saw something moving in the smoke. He waited. It was a girl on a horse, and she was riding towards him. “There’s a badly burnt man on the farm,” the girl shouted. “He saved my life. Please help me to save him.”The girl was Cathy Henderson. She had been on horseback for two hours. She had to jump over fallen trees that were still burning. Her pony had fallen with her twice. She was thirsty and almost dead from want of sleep. But she rode back to the farm with Jack immediately.Joe Brook was un conscious when they reached him. They lifted him onto Jack’s horse. The ride back to Borrogee was terrible. Cathy was so tired that Jack had to tie her to her pony. The pony was tired too, but its courage was astonishing. It followed Jack right to Borrogee Hospital. Nobody saw them arrive because it was night. “I’ve never seen a horse like that pony,” Jack said. Cathy praised Jack Billabong, but she refused to say anything about the pony, “Joe will write about her in his story,” she said.But she did say on e thing: “If flame hadn’t returned to the farm that afternoon, Joe and I would have died.”16.

Dr. Aiken studied a number of couples who had been married for at least twenty-five years. Each couple provided four photographs—one photo of each partner at the time of their marriage and another photo of each partner twenty-five or more years later. All background was cut from the photos to remove any clues. The photos were then displayed in groups: a random grouping of the persons at the time of their marriage and another random grouping of the same persons who took photographs later. Some testees were asked to pick out the partners. They failed totally with the first group. Their judgements were no better than chance. But with the photos taken twenty-five or more years after the marriage, the testees were quite successful with the most happily-married couples.Dr. Aiken believes there are several reasons why couples grow alike. One reason has something to do with imitation. One person tends to copy or do the same as someone else without knowing it. He says human begins to imitate the expressions of the faces of their loved ones. “Another possible reason,” he says, “is the common experience of the couples.” There is a tendency for people who have the same life experience to change their faces in similar ways. For example, if a couple have suffered from a lot of sad experiences, their faces are likely to change in a similar way.21. Dr. Aiken cut the background from the photos for the purpose of __________.A. imitating the couples’ lifeB. grouping the couples againC. leaving no trace for the testeesD. giving the testees more chances22. The underlined sentence “Their judgements were no better than chance” implies that the testees __________.A. did a good job in making their choices.B. had difficulty in picking out the partnersC. had no chance to make the right judgementsD. did better with the first group than with the second23. The underlined word “imitate” (in Para. 2) has a s imilar meaning to __________.A. copyB. changeC. knowD. suffer24. From the passage we can draw the conclusion that ___________.A. couples who look alike can live longerB. most partners have been proved to grow alikeC. the influence between partners can be quite strongD. happily-married couples are often richer than others25. The main purpose of the passage is to ___________.A. explain why couples grow alikeB. tell how couples like each otherC. discuss the function of marriageD. describe the life of happily married couplesPassage ThreeThe three biggest lies in America are: (1) “The check is in the mail”, (2) “Of course I’ll respect you in the morning”, and (3) “It was a computer error.”Of these three little white lies, the worst is the third. It’s the only one that can never be true. Today, if a bank statement cheats you out of $ 900 that way, you know what the clerk is sure to say,” It was a computer error.” Nonsense. The computer is reporting nothing more than what the clerk typed into it.The most annoying case of all is when the computerized cashier in the grocery store shows that an item costs more than it actually does. If the innocent buyer points out the mistake, the checker, bagger, and manager all come together and offer the familiar explanation: “It was a compute error.”It wasn’t, of course that computerized cashier is really nothing more than an electric event. The eye reads the Universal Product Code—chat bar of black and white lines in a corner of the package—and then checks the code against a price list stored in memory. If the price list is right, you’ll be charged accurately.Grocery stores update the price list each day—that is, somebody sits at a keyboard and types in the prices. If the price they type in is too high, there are only two explanations: carelessness or dishonesty. But somehow “a computer error” is supposed to excuse everything.One reason we let people hide behind a computer is the common misperception that huge, modern computers are electric brain with “artificial intelligence.” At some point there might be a machine with intelligence but none exists today. The smartest computer on Earth right now is no more intelligent than your average pen. At this point in the development of computers, the only thing any machine can do is what a human has instructed it to do.26. Of the three lies, the one about computer is the worst because the computer itself __________.A. says nonsenseB. cheats customersC. cannot make the errorD. does not admit its error27. According to the author, a computerized cashier is really just ___________.A. a machine to count moneyB. a machine to receive moneyC. an instrument to print codesD. an instrument to read codes28. Grocery store price lists are updated by ____________.A. a computerB. a keyboardC. an employeeD. an electric brain29. The last paragraph of the passage implies that computers ____________.A. are very cleverB. never make mistakesC. have a good memoryD. are controlled by men30. Which of the following describes the main idea of the passage?A. Computers are stupid and inefficient.B. Computer errors are due to its dishonesty.C. Computers help stores update the price list.D. Computer errors are actually human errors.Passage FourI came across an old country guidebook the other day. It listed all the tradesmen in each village, and it was impressive to see the past variety of services which were available on one’s own doorstep in the late Victorian countryside.Nowadays a traveler in rural England might conclude that the only village tradesmen still flourishing were either selling frozen food to the villagers or selling antiques to visitors. Nevertheless, this would really be a false impression. On the surface, there has been a decline of village commerce, but its power is still remarkable.Our local grocer’s shop, for example, is actually expanding in spite of the competition from supermarkets in the nearest town. Women sensibly prefer to go there and exchange the local news while doing their shopping, instead of queuing up at a supermarket. And the grocer knows well that personal service has a considerable cash value.His prices may be a bit higher than those in the town, but he will deliver anything at any time. His assistants think nothing of bicycling down the village street in their lunch hour to take a piece of cheese to an old retired woman who sent her order by word of mouth with a friend who happened to be passing. The richer customers telephone their shopping lists and the goods are on their doorsteps within an hour. They have only to hint at a fancy for some commodity outside the usual stock and the grocer, a red faced-figure, instantly obtains it for them.31. Nowadays the commercial services in the village are ____________.A. still very activeB. quickly decliningC. unable to flourishD. personal to visitors32. The local grocer’s shop is expanding because _____________.A. the competition there is weakB. it is a place for women to chatC. it provides good personal serviceD. the goods there are more valuable33. Which of the following is true about the supermarkets?A. Prices there are much higherB. Customers often have to queue up.C. Customers can order by telephone.D. Their personal services are satisfactory.34. How do the village grocer’s assistan ts feel about giving extra service?A. They don’t think it a trouble.B. They don’t think it worthwhile.C. They don’t consider it a good deal.D. They don’t consider it a pleasant experience.35. One special feature of the village shop is that ___________.A. there is a very wide range of goods availableB. customers can order goods by word of mouthC. customer have to order goods one hour earlierD. there is a list of goods to be delivered to doorstepsPart III V ocabulary and Structure (20 points)Directions: There are 40 incomplete sentences in this part.

In some cases, people have found a cure, but not for all forms of cancer. Until recently, it was unheard of for a person to live for more than a few months after being diagnosed with any type of cancer. All that has changed,however. Nowadays, many people are able to live for many years after being told by doctors that they are sick.Scientists have made great advancements in cancer research over the past few decades. They have discovered new drugs that can help stop the growth of cancer cells in people. In their attempts to find a cure, researchers have to spend a lot of time and money. In past years, groups of scientists found that it was difficult to agree on the goal of their research. However, there has been a new effort by a group of scientists who are now working on a single project. They come from all over the world. They are trying to find a cure for cancer, one form at a time. Their goal is to begin a large project soon. Experts in gene therapy and other specialized areas are going to share their 16 and their resources 17 more quickly than ever before.In addition, new technology has allowed scientists to work more effectively on finding a cure. With the 18 of new drugs and equipment, researchers are able to attack cancer from all sides, trying to cut off the nutrient supply to cancer cells and kill them without harming healthy cells in the body.Many people who have been diagnosed with cancer in the past five years have benefited from the advances in cancer research.

One Friday afternoon he was riding along the track towards the Henderson farm. He was looking for a prize bull which had escaped from the Borrogee paddock. He reached the hills and saw at once that he could not go further. There had been a fire in the forest which had gone out. But the air was still full of smoke and fallen trees had blocked the track. Jack was just going to turn back when he saw something moving in the smoke. He waited. It was a girl on a horse, and she was riding towards him. “There’s a badly burnt man on the farm,” the girl shouted. “He saved my life. Please help me to save him.”The girl was Cathy Henderson. She had been on horseback for two hours. She had to jump over fallen trees that were still burning. Her pony had fallen with her twice. She was thirsty and almost dead from want of sleep. But she rode back to the farm with Jack immediately.Joe Brook was unconscious when they reached him. They lifted him onto Jack’s horse. The ride back to Borrogee was terrible. Cathy was so tired that Jack had to tie her to her pony. The pony was tired too, but its courage was astonishing. It followed Jack right to Borrogee Hospital. Nobody saw them arrive because it was night. “I’ve never seen a horse like that pony,” Jack said. Cathy praised Jack Billabong, but she refused to say anything about the pony, “Joe will write about her in his story,” she said.But she did say one thing: “If flame hadn’t returned to the farm that afternoon, Joe and I would have died.”16. Jack Billabong did not turn back because _____________.A. he hadn’t found the bull yetB. he smelt a heavy smoke in the forestC. he knew there was a burnt man thereD. he saw something moving towards him17. Why was the ride back to Borrogee terrible?A. Because Joe was tired out.B. Because the ride started late at night.C. Because they didn’t have enough courage.D.

Jack asked her not to talk to themC. she was too weak to say anythingD. Joe would write about it in his writing19. What does the word “flame” in the last paragraph refer to?A. Jack.B. The pony.C. Jack’s horse.D. The fire.20. Which of the following is the best title of the story?A. Rescue of Joe Brook.B. Courage of Jack Billabong.C. Love of a Young Girl.D.

Dr. Aiken studied a number of couples who had been married for at least twenty-five years. Each couple provided four photographs—one photo of each partner at the time of their marriage and another photo of each partner twenty-five or more years later. All background was cut from the photos to remove any clues. The photos were then displayed in groups: a random grouping of the persons at the time of their marriage and another random grouping of the same persons who took photographs later. Some testees were asked to pick out the partners. They failed totally with the first group. Their judgements were no better than chance. But with the photos taken twenty-five or more years after the marriage, the testees were quite successful with the most happily-married couples.Dr. Aiken believes there are several reasons why couples grow alike. One reason has something to do with imitation. One person tends to copy or do the same as someone else without knowing it. He says human begins to imitate the expressions of the faces of their loved ones. “Another possible reason,” he says, “is the common experience of the couples.” There is a tendency for people who have the same life experience to change their faces in similar ways. For example, if a couple have suffered from a lot of sad experiences, their faces are likely to change in a similar way.21. Dr. Aiken cut the background from the photos for the purpose of __________.A. imitating the couples’ lifeB. grouping the couples againC. leaving no trace for the testeesD. giving the testees more chances22. The underlined sentence “Their judgements were no better than chance” implies that the testees __________.A. did a good job in making their choices.B. had difficulty in picking out the partnersC. had no chance to make the right judgementsD. did better with the first group than with the second23. The underlined word “imitate” (in Para. 2) has a similar meaning to __________.A. copyB. changeC. knowD. suffer24. From the passage we can draw the conclusion that ___________.A. couples who look alike can live longerB. most partners have been proved to grow alikeC. the influence between partners can be quite strongD. happily-married couples are often richer than others25. The main purpose of the passage is to ___________.A. explain why couples grow alikeB. tell how couples like each otherC. discuss the function of marriageD. describe the life of happily married couplesPassage ThreeThe three biggest lies in America are: (1) “The check is in the mail”, (2) “Of course I’ll respect you in the morning”, and (3) “It was a computer error.”Of these three little white lies, the worst is the third. It’s the only one that can never be true. Today, if a bank statement cheats you out of $ 900 that way, you know what the clerk is sure to say,” It was a computer error.” Nonsense. The computer is reporting nothing more than what the clerk typed into it.The most annoying case of all is when the computerized cashier in the grocery store shows that an item costs more than it actually does. If the innocent buyer points out the mistake, the checker, bagger, and manager all come together and offer the familiar explanation: “It was a compute error.”It wasn’t, of course that computerized cashier is really nothing more than an electric event. The eye reads the Universal Product Code—chat bar of black and white lines in a corner of the package—and then checks the code against a price list stored in memory. If the price list is right, you’ll be charged accurately.Grocery stores update the price list each day—that is, somebody sits at a keyboard and types in the prices. If the price they type in is too high, there are only two explanations: carelessness or dishonesty. But somehow “a computer error” is supposed to excuse everything.One reason we let people hide behind a computer is the common misperception that huge, modern computers are electric brain with “artificial intelligence.” At some point there might be a machine with intelligence but none exists today. The smartest computer on Earth right now is no more intelligent than your average pen. At this point in the development of computers, the only thing any machine can do is what a human has instructed it to do.26. Of the three lies, the one about computer is the worst because the computer itself __________.A. says nonsenseB. cheats customersC. cannot make the errorD. does not admit its error27. According to the author, a computerized cashier is really just ___________.A. a machine to count moneyB. a machine to receive moneyC. an instrument to print codesD. an instrument to read codes28. Grocery store price lists are updated by ____________.A. a computerB. a keyboardC. an employeeD. an electric brain29. The last paragraph of the passage implies that computers ____________.A. are very cleverB. never make mistakesC. have a good memoryD. are controlled by men30. Which of the following describes the main idea of the passage?A. Computers are stupid and inefficient.B. Computer errors are due to its dishonesty.C. Computers help stores update the price list.D. Computer errors are actually human errors.Passage FourI came across an old country guidebook the other day. It listed all the tradesmen in each village, and it was impressive to see the past variety of services which were available on one’s own doorstep in the late Victorian countryside. Nowadays a traveler in rural England might conclude that the only village tradesmen still flourishing were either selling frozen food to the villagers or selling antiques to visitors. Nevertheless, this would really be a false impression. On the surface, there has been a decline of village commerce, but its power is still remarkable.Our local grocer’s shop, for example, is actually expanding in spite of the competition from supermarkets in the nearest town. Women sensibly prefer to go there and exchange the local news while doing their shopping, instead of queuing up at a supermarket. And the grocer knows well that personal service has a considerable cash value.His prices may be a bit higher than those in the town, but he will deliver anything at any time. His assistants think nothing of bicycling down the village street in their lunch hour to take a piece of cheese to an old retired woman who sent her order by word of mouth with a friend who happened to be passing. The richer customers telephone their shopping lists and the goods are on their doorsteps within an hour. They have only to hint at a fancy for some commodity outside the usual stock and the grocer, a red faced-figure, instantly obtains it for them.31. Nowadays the commercial services in the village are ____________.A. still very activeB. quickly decliningC. unable to flourishD. personal to visitors32. The local grocer’s shop is expanding because _____________.A. the competition there is weakB. it is a place for women to chatC. it provides good personal serviceD. the goods there are more valuable33. Which of the following is true about the supermarkets?A. Prices there are much higherB. Customers often have to queue up.C. Customers can order by telephone.D. Their personal services are satisfactory.34. How do the village grocer’s assistants feel about giving extra service?A. They don’t think it a trouble.B. They don’t think it worthwhile.C. They don’t consider it a good deal.D. They don’t consider it a pleasant experience.35. One special feature of the village shop is that ___________.A. there is a very wide range of goods availableB. customers can order goods by word of mouthC. customer have to order goods one hour earlierD. there is a list of goods to be delivered to doorstepsPart III Vocabulary and Structure (20 points)Directions: There are 40 incomplete sentences in this part.

If your knowledge is similar to that of food shoppers who answered three surveys for the U. S. Food and Drug Administration, then you probably share some wide-spread misinformation about nutrition. Check your answers to the following statements. Is it true or false?Statement 1: Fresh vegetables cooked at home are always more nutritious than canned or frozen vegetables. False. The nutritional difference depends more on how vegetables are handled or prepared than in whether they are bought fresh or packaged. Overcooking, for example, destroys many nutrients. Vegetables cooked in too much water can lose a significant amount of vitamins.Statement 2:When dieting, avoid starchy(淀粉类) foods, such as bread or potatoes. False. If you cut out starchy foods, such as peas, potatoes, bread, and rice, you cut out very good sources of several B vitamins, Vitamin C, and other nutrients. Moreover, ounce for ounce, bread and potatoes have fewer calories than sirloin steak and roast beef.Statement 3:Taking extra vitamins beyond the recommended daily allowances won’t give you more energy. True. It’s widely believedthat extra vitamins provide more energy. But taking more than the body needs doesn't make it function better, just as overfilling your gas tank doesn’t make your car run faster.If you answered these questions correctly, you can for the time being consider yourself well informed about food and nutrition by today’s standards. But remember that nutrition is a complex and growing science and that today’s beliefs may be changed as new information becomes available.16.The first paragraph implies that many people __________.A. are well informed about nutritionB. don’t care about nutritionC. have much knowledge of nutritionD. have incorrect ideas about nutrition17.According to paragraph 2, which is NOT true about nutrition?A. Overcooking destroys many nutrients.B. It makes no difference how you prepare vegetables.C. Both fresh and packaged vegetables are nutritious.D. Vitamins in vegetable could be lost during cooking.18.Which is a correct attitude towards starchy food?A. Starchy foods are unnecessary in a balanced diet.B. Bread and steak have the same amount of calories per ounce.C. Valuable nutrients could be found in starchy foods.Most women in Ghana--the educated and illiterate, the urban and rural, the young and old--work to earn an income in addition to maintaining their roles as housewives and mothers. Their reputation for economic independence, self-reliance, and hard work is well known and well deserved.Most of Ghana’s working women are farmers and traders. Only one woman in five, or even fewer, can be classified as simply housewives. Even these women often earn money by sewing or by baking and cooking things to sell. They also maintain vegetable gardens and chicken farms. Indeed, the woman who depends entirely upon her husband for support is looked upon with disfavor.Traditionally the tasks of motherhood have been shared. Mothers and sisters, grandmothers and nieces all helped to raise the children and to carry out daily tasks. As the family grew, older brothers and sisters also helped to care for the younger ones and helped in the home. Now with more children going to school, with more people moving away from their traditional homes, not only must the mother continue her income-producing activities, but she must take on all the heavy, time-consuming housework.Ghana today is looking for new ways to meet the needs of women and their families, such as providing more day care centers, sowomen can continue to play their multiple roles in the home and in the economy.21.What is the role of most women in Ghana?A. Handling various housework at home.B. Taking care of children indoors.C. Farming and trading out of house.D. Working as well as maintaining families.22.“self-reliance” could be explained as “__________”.A. making great wealthB. depending on oneselfC. caring for one’s ownD. being a reliable person23.What kind of women do people in Ghana prefer?A. Beautiful and charming.B. Skillful at sewing or baking.C. Depending totally on husbands.D. Working hard to earn incomes.24.Paragraph 3 describes__________.A. how traditional extended families operateB. why women in Ghana have more burdens nowC. how changes in life help the working womenD. the new life style of Ghana’s peopleOn the weekends, the workers got together at picnics or drinking places. Travelling black musicians with guitars entertained them. The musicians sang songs about the difficult life of the workers. These songs were called the blues.If you have the blues it means you feel very sad. You can have the blues because you have no money, no job, no lover, or no home. But blue songs were not always sad. Some of them were happy and many of them were funny.Sometimes the blues singers had song contests. Each singer sang new words or a new style of the blues song. They made up the music as they played. In this way they created new music. This is called improvisation. Later, improvisation became a very important part of jazz music.Blues began in the country in the South. As blacks moved into the big cities to work, the blues went with them. There, they sang about life in the cities. W. C. Handy, a black band leader from Memphis made the blues popular all over America. In 1914 he wrote the most famous blues song of all, “The St. Louis Blues”.26.After the Civil War, the Black people _________.A. were mostly slavesB. still led a hard lifeC. enjoyed their new life with familiesD. worked on their own farms27.At the very beginning, the blues were _________.A. not performed on formal occasionsB. traditional songs of the Black peopleC. about the life of travelling musiciansD. very popular throughout the nation28.What kind of emotion does the blues express?A.

The most well-known blues song is “The St. Louis Blues”.appeal to her, she’ll reject you for someone more appetizing. The next time a mosquito bites you, just remember that you were chosen. You’re special.If the mosquito likes you, she settles onto your flesh very gently, and she breaks your skin with her proboscis tip. It’s a kind of mouth and it sticks out just below the mosquito’s eyes. She stabs the proboscis tip into your skin at once, and if she hits a blood vessel, she’ll get a full dinner in about a minute. After that, the mosquito is tired. Heavy with your blood, she picks a spot---on a leave or a stone---to lay her eggs. Just one drop of blood will produce hundreds of eggs.31.By the sentence “you are acquainted with the mosquito--although you probably wish you weren’t”, the author means that people_________.A. don’t like mosquito but it is always thereB. know mosquito and wish them wellC. wish all the mosquito disappearedD. want to be friendly to mosquito but fail at last32.Why is it only female mosquito that bites?A.

For each of them there are 4 choices marked A, B, C and D. Choose the best one and mark your answer on the ANSWER SHEET.Passage OneScientists said they have found evidence of a giant planet far out in our solar system. In a state ment, the California Institute of Technology—Caltech—said this planet travels a very strange “lo ng and thin orbit in the distant solar system.” The discovery was made by two researchers at Cal tech: Konstantin Batygin and Mike Brown. They used mathematical modeling and computer sim ulations(摸拟) to find the planet. So far, there have not been any direct observations of the planet.“My jaw hit the floor,” said astronomer(宇航员) Mike Brown, the moment he realized there might be a ninth planet.The scientists said it would take this planet 10,000 to 20,000 years just to make one full orbit aro und the sun. The new planet, called “Planet Nine”, has a mass about 10 times the size of Earth. If they are right, the newly found planet would be the ninth planet in our solar system. Pluto(冥王星) had been called the ninth planet until 2006, when it was renamed a “dwarf planet.”Actual confirmation of a ninth planet would be very big news. “This would be a real ninth planet,” Brown said in the statement. “There have only been two true planets discovered since ancient ti mes, and this would be a third. It's a pretty substantial chunk of our solar system that's still out th ere to be found, which is pretty exciting.”While they did not get a picture of “Planet Nine” yet, the scientists say they are using the biggest —and best—telescopes on Earth to try to find “Planet N ine.” They are also working on improvingtheir computer simulations. They want to find out more about “Planet Nine’s” orbit, and its imp act on the outer part of our solar system.16. The newly-found planet ________.A. moves around the SunB. was discovered by two astronomersC. travels a round orbitD. is far away from our solar system17. The possibility of finding a ninth planet made Mike Brown ________.A. confusedB. frightenedC. satisfiedD. surprised18. According to the scientists, ________A. the planet is ten times larger than the EarthB. it takes the planet less than 10,000 years to make a full orbitC. Pluto was once thought to be the ninth planet in the solar systemD. Pluto was given a new name after it was discovered in 200619. It can be inferred from Paragraph 4 that ________.A. there is no actual confirmation about the ninth planetB. no true planets were discovered in ancient timesC. scientists have found three planets in modern timesD. the ninth planet is the only one discovered since ancient times20. To find “Planet Nine”, scientists are using all the following EXCEPT ________.A. mathematical modelingB. computer simulationsC. advanced telescopesD. large spacecraftsPassage Two“Helicopter parenting” describes a style of raising children where parents are over-protective and do too much. The term was used for the first time in the late 1960s. It describes parents who hover(悬停) over their kids like a helicopter. Today, modern technology allows these helicopter parents to hover from even far away. They can give their children directions at any moment from anywhere .Author Julie Lythcott-Haims wrote a book titled How to Raise an Adull. In her book, she gives re aders a closer look at this parenting style.“Over-parenting”, she says, “comes in three types: the first is the over-protective parents who t hink the world is scary and unsafe and unpredictable. And therefore, I must protect and prevent. The second type is the over-directive type—the parent who says, I know best what leads to succ ess and you will do as I say. You’ll study these topics, do these activies and you will be highly achieving at all of it. The third type i s the concierge(看门人)—the parent who just wants to make life smoother—from waking their kid up, to keeping track of their deadlines, to making sure they haven't forgotte n anything, to even doing the homework for the kid.”Julie Lythcott-Haims says she experienced the effects of helicopter parenting firsthand when she worked as dean of first-year students at Stanford University. The incoming students were very s mart and accomplished on paper. But many were unable to take care of themselves.“They were turning to parents constantly for guidance, for problem solving, to have them make the choice about something.” Often times, Lythcott-Haims had to remind those parentsthat their kids were old enough to take care of themselves.21. The term “helicopte r parenting” ________.A. describes parents who give children directions in the airB. was probably invented in the late nineteenth centuryC. gains more meaning as modern technology developsD. refers to parents who concern too much about kids22. According to Lythcott-Haims, over-parenting has all the following features EXCEPT _______A. over-directiveB. over-dependentC. over-preventiveD. over-protective23. It can be inferred that a concierge mother will ________.A. regard the world as very dangerousB. allow children to do whatever they likeC. keep a close eye on the kid’s assignmentD. let the kid alone when he falls on the ground24. In Julie’s eyes, the first-year students at Stanford University are ________.A. very clever in studyingB. really good at problem-solvingC. unable to communicate with teachersD. having problems making friends25. Lythcott-Haims’ attitude towards helicopter parenting is ________.A. supportiveB. negativeC. uninterestedD. unclearPassage ThreeI recently had the opportunity to go to my first ever music festival. We Love Green was held overa weekend in Parc de Bagatelle, Paris. While like most music festivals, it boasted an impressive and diverse music, there was something extra special about this one. You see, thiswas a green festival!From the food to the stalls(货摊), everything was as environmentally friendly as possible. Not only was the majority of the furni ture/stalls/toilet rooms hand-made from wood, the festival was powered by solar energy. Guests were invited to dispose of rubbish in specially labeled dustbins which, after the festival, were sort ed so all of the waste could be recycled appropriately. Fresh water was made available freely to everyone so that attendants were not encouraged to buy drinks in plastic bottles which would ha ve created a lot of waste.I found the experience incredibly fun but also really interesting. Having never been to a music fe stival before, I was unsure of what to expect. However, I was happy to find myself sitting in a fiel d eating a healthy, home-made fruit cake while drinking organic fruit juice. There were many stall s, art installations, and different areas, meaning there was something there for everyone, from s mall children to the elderly!This seems like such a great idea, making something very fun and interesting, that does not cau se great damage to the environment. I have since discovered that there are more events similar to this across the globe, which is great! I can’t imagine how much waste has been produced fro m such public events as festivals across the years before we realised just how bad they were for the environment!26. Which of the following can be the title of the passage?A. We Love GreenB. We Love EnvironmentC. Music FestivalsD. A Unique Public Event27. What is special about the music festival?A. It has a special band.B. It has a unique program list.C. It is held every weekend.D. It is environmentally friendly.28. At the music festival, guests were encouraged to ________.A. make furniture from woodB. bring plastic-bottled drinksC. recycle rubbish by themselvesD. drink free fresh water29. According to Paragraph 3, the author ________.A. fully enjoyed the festivalB. expected muh from the festivalC. found the event very funnyD. liked listening to music at home30. The purpose of this passage is to ________.A. raise funds for environment protectionB. highlight that being green can be funC. encourage people to go to music festivalsD. introduce the author's favourite musicians Passage FourChokwe Selassie is on a mission to help drivers avoid potholes(路面坑洞). The eighth-grader got his inspiration on a recent morning, when his mother was driving him t o school. Their car was damaged as it went over a huge pothole in the middle of the street in the ir hometown of Jackson, Mississippi. “I decided I was going to do something about the pothole p roblem in my city,” said Chokwe. His solution: an app that warns drivers when there is a pothole ahead.Chokwe developed the app with his friends, “When the app detects a pothole, it is highlighted in red,” Chokwe says. “And if you get close to the pothole, your phone will warn you with a beep.”Drivers can also use the app to report any potholes they encounter, and to look for other routes t hey can take to avoid roads that have them.The app relies on current available information about the streets of Jackson. “It works by using t he city’s 311 call system, so it uses information already stored in a database,” Chokwe says. Thr ough the call system, citizens dial 311 to report non-emergency problems—which include pothol es. As Chokwe and his friends worked on the app, they also went street by street throughout the city. They determined that focusing on the 10 busiest streets in Jackson would give them a larg e enough sample size to test it.Although the app isn’t yet available for sale, Chokwe is already looking for ways to improve it. Th e app remains limited to 10 streets in Jackson, but he hopes to add more, so that it includes eve ry street in the city. And then he wants to go even farther. “I want to keep working on the app u ntil it’s nationwide,” Chokwe says.31. Chokwe Selassie got the idea to develop the app from ________.A. his own experienceB. a recent news reportC. his friendsD. his mother32. When you are close to a pothole, your phone will warn you with ________.A. a voice reportB. a red lightC. a beeping soundD. a map image33. Drivers can also use Chokwe’s app to ________.A. report emergency traffic problemsB. look for information other than potholesC. choose safer routes without potholesD. avoid traffic jam caused by potholes34. To develop the app, Chokwe and his friends ________.A. reported potholes to 311 call systemB. conducted field trips on the streetsC. built their own information databaseD. collected samples in their neighborhood35. We can learn from the last paragraph that Chokwe ________.A. is quite successfulB. is facing difficultiesC. has regained hopeD. has a great ambitionPart III Vocabulary and Structure (20 points)Directions: There are 40 incomplete sentence in this part.

Choose the best one and mark your answer on the ANSWER SHEET.Passage OneWe are all busy talking about and using the Internet, but how many of us know the history of the Internet?Many people are surprised when they find that the Internet was set up as recently as the 1960s. At that time, computers were large and expensive. Computer networks didn’t work well. If one computer in the network broke down, then the whole network stopped. So a new network system had to be set up. It should be good enough to be used by many different computers. If part of the network was not working, information could be sent through another part. In this way the computer network system would keep on working all the time.At first the Internet was only used by the government, but in the 1970s, universities, hospitals and banks began to use it, too. However, computers were still very expensive and the Internet was difficult to use. At the beginning of the 1990s, computers became cheaper and easier to use. And scientists developed software that made Internet “surfing” more convenient.Today it is easy to get online and it is said that millions of people use the Internet every day.16. The Internet was set up in __B__.A. 1960B. the 1960sC. 1970D. the 1970s17. Computer networks didn’t work well at first because __D.A. computers were large and expensiveB. computers couldn’t send information fastC. computers didn’t fit into the same networkD. if one computer failed, the whole network stopped18.

Convenient Internet SurfingPassage TwoAlan Chang was a handsome young man with good manners.One morning he was walking along a street on his way to an appointment. He did not want to be early or late. He had forgotten to put on his watch so he went up to a man who was waiting for a taxi.“Excuse me, sir,” he said, very politely, “but could you tell me the time?”The man, who was very well-dressed and looked quite rich, said nothing. He did not even look at Alan. Alan spoke to him again. “Excuse me, sir,” he said, “but could you please tell me what time it is?”This time the man looked at him, but he did not speak and looked quickly away. Alan thought to himself: well, he can hear me; he must be just rude. So Alan asked again, “Why wouldn’t you tell me the time, sir?”The man turned towards him and said, “Put yourself in my shoes. I am standing here waiting for a taxi. You come up to me and ask me for the time. If I tell it to you, you will thank me. I will say ‘That’s all right.’ You may then say ‘It’s a beautiful day,’ to which I may reply ‘Yes, I like these sunny winter days.’Before we know what is happening we have a friendly conversation. You are a pleasant, polite young man, so when my taxi comes, I offer you a ride. You accept. We talk. I like you. You like me. I invite you to my home. You meet my daughter. She is a very pretty girl. You are a good-looking man. You like each other. Soon you fall in love. You want to marry. Now do you understand my problem?”Alan shook his head. “No, sir, I’m sorry, I don’t. Everything you have said seems very natural to me.”“Exactly,” the man said, “and I do not want my daughter to marry a man who is too poor to buy a watch. Good morning to you.” And with these words he hurried away.21. Why did Alan ask the man what time it was? CA. He was too late.B. He was very early.C. He had left his watch home.D. He wanted to meet the man’s daughter.22. What did Alan think of the man when he would not tell him the time? AA. He was impolite.B. He was deaf.C. He was stupid.D. He spoke no English.23. What did the man mean by the underlined part “Put yourself in my shoes”? DA. Don’t interrupt me.B. My shoes hurt me.C. Come and try my shoes.D. Try to understand me.24.

The story is mainly about A.A. how rude a person can beB. how one thing leads to anotherC. where a person can’t tell the timeD. why you shouldn’t speak to strangers Passage ThreeWhat are the beauties of Hawaii? Le t’s start with four.The beach, famous for its water temperature, air temperature and waves, is the first beauty. There are hundreds of miles of beaches on the twenty islands of Hawaii. They are thought to be among the finest beaches in the world.Then, what do you think would be the second beautiful thing? It is volcanoes (火山), of course. These volcanoes are not just a part of the islands; they made the islands in the first place. Because of them the islands are still growing.What would be the third thing of beauty that the first visitor to Hawaii would notice? It probably wouldn’t be just one thing, but many things: all the wonderful fruits and flowers of the islands. Sugar cane, bananas and pineapples are Hawaii’s biggest exports. Sugar cane has been growing in Hawaii for a thousand years. As for pineapples, the islands produce more than any other places in the world, which has made Dole Company the biggest fruit-packing company in the world.The fourth and most beautiful thing about Hawaii is the people who live there. The Hawaiians never rush, and perhaps this is because they care more for human life than they care for the machine. There is an old Hawaiian law that a man can go to sleep in the middle of the road if he wants to. What makes the people of Hawaii so beautiful is their feeling about people. There are 64 different combinations of races on the islands, and they all live in peace. They believe “Above all nations is humanity.”That is the most beautiful thing of all.26. According to the passage, Hawaii is made up of B__.A. one islandB. twenty islandsC. sixty-four islandsD. hundreds of islands27. Why are the volcanoes so special to the islands? BA. They are not a part of the islands.B. They actually made the islands.C. They are the first in the world.D. They are growing.28. What has made Dole Company the biggest fruit-packing company in the world? DA. Sugar.B. Sugar cane.C. Bananas.D. Pineapples.29. The people in Hawaii are the most beautiful thing because _ D_.A. they had a peaceful historyB. they can sleep in the middle of the roadC. there are 64 different races on the islandsD. they care more for people than anything else30. According to the passage, “above all nations is humanity” might mean __C .A. not all nations have humanityB. humanity is as important as a nationC. humanity has no national boundariesD. all human beings should live in peace Passage FourThere is a measurable relation between how much a person learns and his attitude toward the subject to be learned. When faced with a difficult learning task, one path to success is to concentrate on the positive aspects of the subject matter. If a student has a boring teacher, one solution is to look for the positive aspects of completing the course, regardless of how boring the teacher happens to be. To accomplish this might require a private tutor or some independent reading, but with the right attitude, success is possible.Over-achievers – students who do better than their test scores show – usually have a positive interest toward learning. They may learn some things more slowly, and they may make more efforts, but, to compensate (补偿), they are often better at applying what they have learned. As long as they do not have emotional problems, they are successful.Under-achievers – those who function below their ability shown by test scored – often tend to allow a few negative factors to affect them. Because of their negative attitudes, they sometimes become unfairly critical of teachers. They allow themselves to get bored when it is not necessary. In short, their attitudes often cause them to learn less than over-achievers.If you learn to replace a negative attitude toward learning with something more positive, you are on the road to achieving almost any goal you desire. For example, if you realize a personal computer with a word processor would improve your performance, but have an attitude that keeps telling you that a computer is difficult to operate, you tend to make all kinds of excuses. In short, you resist making full use of a terrific tool, simply because your negative attitude prevents you from learning.31. What does the author think a student should do if he has a boring teacher? DA. Look for a new course.B. Be critical of the teacher.C. Complete the course with a good score.D. Have a right attitude toward the teacher.32. The writer thinks that over-achievers and under-achievers mainly differ in __C.A. their test scoresB. their judgment of othersC. their attitudes toward learningD. their skills in using computers33. The underlined phrase function below their ability shown by test scores means the under-achievers B_.A. often get low scores in testsB. do worse in actual learning than in testsC. usually do better in tests than the over-achieversD. are always slow in learning and have to make more efforts34. The example of the personal computer shows that __B.A. finding excuses helps in learningB. to react negatively can be harmfulC. hard-working is the key to successD. making use of the computer is important35. What is the main idea of the passage? AA. Attitudes play an important role in learning.B. Students should learn how to use personal computers.C.

For each of them there are 4 choices marked A, B, C and D. Choose the best one and mark your answer on the ANSWER SHEET.Passage OneScientists said they have found evidence of a giant planet far out in our solar system. In a statement, the California Institute of Technology—Caltech—said this planet travels a very strange “long and thin orbit in the distant solar system.” The discovery was made by two researchers at Caltech: Konstantin Batygin and Mike Brown. They used mathematical modeling and computer simulations(模拟) to find the planet. So far, there have not been any direct observations of the planet.“My jaw hit the floor,” said astronomer(宇航员) Mike Brown, the moment he realized there might be a ninth planet.The scientists said it would take this planet 10,000 to 20,000 years just to make one full orbit around the sun. The new planet, called “Planet Nine”, has a mass about 10 times the size of Earth. If they are right, the newly found planet would be the ninth planet in our solar system. Pluto(冥王星) had been called the ninth planet until 2006, when it was renamed a “dwarf planet.”Actual confirmation of a ninth planet would be very big news. “This would be a real ninth planet,” Brown said in the statement. “There have only been two true planets discovered since ancient times, and this would be a third. It's a prettysubstantial chunk of our solar system that's still out there to be found, which is pretty exciting.”While they did not get a picture of “Planet Nine” yet, the scientists say they are using the biggest—and best—telescopes on Earth to try to find “Planet Nine.” They are also working on improving their computer simulations. They want to find out more about “Planet Nine’s” orbit, and its impact on the outer part of our solar system.16. The newly-found planet ________.A. moves around the SunB. was discovered by two astronomersC. travels a round orbitD. is far away from our solar system17. The possibility of finding a ninth planet made Mike Brown ________.A. confusedB. frightenedC. satisfiedD. surprised18. According to the scientists, ________A. the planet is ten times larger than the EarthB. it takes the planet less than 10,000 years to make a full orbitC. Pluto was once thought to be the ninth planet in the solar systemD. Pluto was given a new name after it was discovered in 200619. It can be inferred from Paragraph 4 that ________.A. there is no actual confirmation about the ninth planetB. no true planets were discovered in ancient timesC. scientists have found three planets in modern timesD. the ninth planet is the only one discovered since ancient times20. To find “Planet Nine”, scientists are using all the following EXCEPT ________.A. mathematical modelingB. computer simulationsC. advanced telescopesD. large spacecrafts Passage Two“Helicopter parenting” describes a style of raising children where parents are over-protective and do too much. The term was used for the first time in the late 1960s. It describes parents who hover(悬停) over their kids like a helicopter. Today, modern technology allows these helicopter parents to hover from even far away. They can give their children directions at any moment from anywhere.Author Julie Lythcott-Haims wrote a book titled How to Raise an Adull. In her book, she gives readers a closer look at this parenting style.“Over-parenting”, she says, “comes in three types: the first is the over-protective parents who think the world is scary and unsafe and unpredictable. And therefore, I mustprotect and prevent. The second type is the over-directive type—the parent who says, I know best what leads to success and you will do as I say. You’ll study these topics, do these activies and you will be highly achieving at all of it. The third type is the concierge(看门人)—the parent who just wants to make life smoother—from waking their kid up, to keeping track of their deadlines, to making sure they haven't forgotten anything, to even doing the homework for the kid.”Julie Lythcott-Haims says she experienced the effects of helicopter parenting firsthand when she worked as dean offirst-year students at Stanford University. The incoming students were very smart and accomplished on paper. But many were unable to take care of themselves.“They were turning to parents constantly for guidance, for problem solving, to have them make the choice about something.” Often time s, Lythcott-Haims had to remind those parents that their kids were old enough to take care of themselves.21. The term “helicopter parenting” ________.A. describes parents who give children directions in the airB. was probably invented in the late nineteenth centuryC. gains more meaning as modern technology developsD. refers to parents who concern too much about kids22. According to Lythcott-Haims, over-parenting has all the following features EXCEPT ________.A. over-directiveB. over-dependentC. over-preventiveD. over-protective23. It can be inferred that a concierge mother will ________.A. regard the world as very dangerousB. allow children to do whatever they likeC. keep a close eye on the kid’s assignmentD. let the kid alone when he falls on the ground24. In Julie’s eyes, the first-year students at Stanford University are ________.A. very clever in studyingB. really good at problem-solvingC. unable to communicate with teachersD. having problems making friends25. Lythcott-Haims’ attitude towards helicopter parenting is________.A. supportiveB. negativeC. uninterestedD. unclearPassage ThreeI recently had the opportunity to go to my first ever music festival. We Love Green was held over a weekend in Parc de Bagatelle, Paris. While like most music festivals, it boasted an impressive and diverse music, there was something extra special about this one. You see, this was a green festival!From the food to the stalls(货摊), everything was as environmentally friendly as possible. Not only was the majority of the furniture/stalls/toilet rooms hand-made from wood, the festival was powered by solar energy. Guests were invited to dispose of rubbish in specially labeled dustbins which, afterthe festival, were sorted so all of the waste could be recycled appropriately. Fresh water was made available freely toeveryone so that attendants were not encouraged to buy drinksin plastic bottles which would have created a lot of waste.I found the experience incredibly fun but also really interesting. Having never been to a music festival before, Iwas unsure of what to expect. However, I was happy to findmyself sitting in a field eating a healthy, home-made fruitcake while drinking organic fruit juice. There were many stalls, art installations, and different areas, meaning there was something there for everyone, from small children to theelderly!This seems like such a great idea, making something veryfun and interesting, that does not cause great damage to the environment. I have since discovered that there are more events similar to this ac ross the globe, which is great! I can’timagine how much waste has been produced from such public events as festivals across the years before we realised just how bad they were for the environment!26. Which of the following can be the title of the passage?A. We Love GreenB. We Love EnvironmentC. Music FestivalsD. A Unique Public Event27. What is special about the music festival?A. It has a special band.B. It has a unique program list.C. It is held every weekend.D. It is environmentally friendly.28. At the music festival, guests were encouraged to ________.A. make furniture from woodB. bring plastic-bottled drinksC. recycle rubbish by themselvesD. drink free fresh water29. According to Paragraph 3, the author ________.A. fully enjoyed the festivalB. expected muh from the festivalC. found the event very funnyD. liked listening to music at home30. The purpose of this passage is to ________.A. raise funds for environment protectionB. highlight that being green can be funC. encourage people to go to music festivalsD. introduce the author's favourite musiciansPassage FourChokwe Selassie is on a mission to help drivers avoid potholes(路面坑洞). The eighth-grader got his inspiration on a recent morning, when his mother was driving him to school.Their car was damaged as it went over a huge pothole in the middle of the street in their hometown of Jackson, Mississippi. “I decided I was going to do something about the pothole problem in my city,” said Chokwe. His solution: an app that warns drivers when there is a pothole ahead.Chokwe developed the app with his friends, “When the app detects a pothole, it is highlighted in red,” Chokwe says. “And if you get close to the pothole, your phone will warn you with a beep.” Drivers can also use the app to report any potholes they encounter, and to look for other routes they can take to avoid roads that have them.The app relies on current available information about the streets of Jackson. “It works by using the city’s 311 call system, so it uses information already stored in a database,”Chokwe says. Through the call system, citizens dial 311 to report non-emergency problems—which include potholes. As Chokwe and his friends worked on the app, they also went street by street throughout the city. They determined that focusing on the 10 busiest streets in Jackson would give them a large enough sample size to test it.Although the app isn’t yet available for sale, Chokwe is already looking for ways to improve it. The app remains limited to 10 streets in Jackson, but he hopes to add more, so that it includes every street in the city. And then he wants to go even farther. “I want to keep working on the app until it’s nationwide,” Chokwe says.31. Chokwe Selassie got the idea to develop the app from________.A. his own experienceB. a recent news reportC. his friendsD. his mother32. When you are close to a pothole, your phone will warn you with ________.A. a voice reportB. a red lightC. a beeping soundD. a map image33. Drivers can also use Chokwe’s app to ________.A. report emergency traffic problemsB. look for information other than potholesC. choose safer routes without potholesD. avoid traffic jam caused by potholes34. To develop the app, Chokwe and his friends ________.A. reported potholes to 311 call systemB. conducted field trips on the streetsC. built their own information databaseD. collected samples in their neighborhood35. We can learn from the last paragraph that Chokwe ________.A. is quite successfulB. is facing difficultiesC. has regained hopeD. has a great ambitionPart III Vocabulary and Structure (20 points)Directions:There are 40 incomplete sentence in this part.

Choose the best one and mark your answer on the ANSWER SHEET.Long-distance runners may at times worry about their heart health while taking part in the events. But a study finds that heat stroke(中暑) fells many more runners than 76 a heart problem.Heat stroke can damage a person’s brain, heart, kidneysand 77 . And new data shows the toll it takes. Researchers 78 health records from more than 130,000 runners whocompeted in long-distance events during a seven-year span.

For each of them there are 4 choices marked A, B, C and D. Choose the best one and mark your answer on the ANSWER SHEET.Passage OneWe are all busy talking about and using the Internet, but how many of us know the history of the Internet Many people are surprised when they find that the Internet was set up as recently as the 1960s. At that time, computers were large and expensive. Computer networks didn ’twork well. If one computer in the network broke down, then the whole network stopped. So a new network system had to be set up. It should be good enough to be used by many different computers. If part of the network was not working, information could be sent through another part. In this way the computer network system would keep on working all the time.At first the Internet was only used by the government, but in the 1970s, universities, hospitals and banks began to use it, too. However, computers were still very expensive and the Internet was difficult to use. At the beginning of the 1990s, computers became cheaper and easier to use. And scientists developed software that made Internet “surfing ”more convenient.Today it is easy to get online and it is said that millions of people use the Internet every day.16.

He had forgotten to put on his watch so he went up to a man who was waiting for a taxi.“Excuse me, sir,”he said, very politely,“but could you tell me the time”The man, who was very well-dressed and looked quite rich, said nothing. He did not even look at Alan. Alan spoke to him again. “Excuse me, sir,”he said, “but could you please tell me what time it is ”This time the man looked at him, but he did not speak and looked quickly away. Alan thought to himself: well, he can hear me; he must be just rude. So Alan asked again, “Why wouldn ’tyou tell me the time, sir ”The man turned towards him and said, “Put yourself in my shoes. I am standing here waiting for a taxi. You come up to me and ask me for the time. If I tell it to you, you will thank me. I will say ‘That’s all right. ’You may then say ‘It’s a beautiful day, ’to which I may reply ‘Yes, I like these sunny winter days. ’ Before we know what is happening we have a friendly conversation.

Everything you have said seems very natural to me. ”“Exactly,”the man said,“and I do not want my daughter to marry a man who is too poor to buy a watch.

The story is mainly about A.A. how rude a person can beB. how one thing leads to anotherC. where a person can’ttell the timeD. why you shouldn ’tspeak to strangers Passage ThreeWhat are the beauties of Hawaii Le t ’sstart with four.The beach, famous for its water temperature, air temperature and waves, is the first beauty. Thereare hundreds of miles of beaches on the twenty islands of Hawaii. They are thought to be among the finest beaches in the world.Then, what do you think would be the second beautiful thing It is volcanoes (火山), of course. These volcanoes are not just a part of the islands; they made the islands in the first place. Because of them the islands are still growing.What would be the third thing of beauty that the first visitor to Hawaii would notice It probably wouldn ’tbe just one thing, but many things: all the wonderful fruits and flowers of the islands. Sugar cane, bananas and pineapples are Hawaii ’s biggest exports. Sugar cane has been growing in Hawaii for a thousand years. As for pineapples, the islands produce more than any other places in the world, which has made Dole Company the biggest fruit-packing company in the world.The fourth and most beautiful thing about Hawaii is the people who live there. The Hawaiians never rush, and perhaps this is because they care more for human life than they care for the machine. There is an old Hawaiian law that a man can go to sleep in the middle of the road if he wants to. What makes the people of Hawaii so beautiful is their feeling about people. There are 64 different combinations of races onthe islands, and they all live in peace. They believe “Above all nations is humanity. ”That is the most beautiful thing of all.26. According to the passage, Hawaii is made up of B__.A. one islandB. twenty islandsC. sixty-four islandsD. hundreds of islands27. Why are the volcanoes so special to the islands BA. They are not a part of the islands.B. They actually made the islands .C. They are the first in the world.D. They are growing.28. What has made Dole Company the biggest fruit-packing company in the world DA. Sugar.B. Sugar cane.C. Bananas.D. Pineapples .29. The people in Hawaii are the most beautiful thing because _ D_.A. they had a peaceful historyB. they can sleep in the middle of the roadC. there are 64 different races on the islandsD. they care more for people than anything else30. According to the passage, “above all nations is humanity ”might mean __C .A. not all nations have humanityB. humanity is as important as a nationC. humanity has no national boundariesD. all human beings should live in peacePassage FourThere is a measurable relation between how much a person learns and his attitude toward the subjectto be learned. When faced with a difficult learning task, one path to success is to concentrate on the positive aspects of the subject matter. If a student has a boring teacher, one solution is to look for the positive aspects of completing the course, regardless of how boring the teacher happens to be. To accomplish this might require a private tutor or some independent reading, but with the right attitude, success is possible.Over-achievers –students who do better than their test scores show –usually have a positive interest toward learning. They may learn some things more slowly, and they may make more efforts, but, to compensate (补偿 ), they are often better at applying what they have learned. As long as they do not have emotional problems, they are successful.Under-achievers –those who function below their ability shown by test scored –often tend to allow a few negative factors to affect them. Because of their negative attitudes, they sometimes become unfairly critical of teachers. They allow themselves to get bored when it is not necessary. In short, their attitudesoften cause them to learn less than over-achievers.If you learn to replace a negative attitude toward learning with something more positive, you are onthe road to achieving almost any goal you desire. For example, if you realize a personal computer with a word processor would improve your performance, but have an attitude that keeps telling you that a computer is difficult to operate, you tend to make all kinds of excuses. In short, you resist making full useof a terrific tool, simply because your negative attitude prevents you from learning.31. What does the author think a student should do if he has a boring teacher DA. Look for a new course.B. Be critical of the teacher.C. Complete the course with a good score.D. Have a right attitude toward the teacher .32. The writer thinks that over-achievers and under-achievers mainly differ in __C.A. their test scoresB. their judgment of othersC. their attitudes toward learningD. their skills in using computers33. The underlined phrase function below their ability shown by test scores means the under-achievers B_.A. often get low scores in testsB. do worse in actual learning than in testsC. usually do better in tests than the over-achieversD. are always slow in learning and have to make more efforts34. The example of the personal computer shows that __B.A. finding excuses helps in learningB. to react negatively can be harmfulC. hard-working is the key to successD. making use of the computer is important35. What is the main idea of the passage AA. Attitudes play an important role in learning .B. Students should learn how to use personal computers.C. Teachers are not so important in the learning process.D. There are many differences between over-and under-achievers.Part III Vocabulary and Structure (20 points)Directions: There are 40 incomplete sentences in this part.

2016年11月学位英语真题(含答案)
2016年11月学位英语真题Part 1 Reading comprehension (30%)Passage 1If the Dakota Access Pipeline(输油管道）is completed, it will carry nearly half a million barrels of oil across four states every day. Energy Transfer Partners (ETP), a Texas-based company behind the $ 3.8 billion project, hopes to finish construction this year. But the Standing ROCK Sioux, an American Indian tribe, is determined to stop the 1,172-mile pipeline from being built. (76) Both sides show no signs of backing down.The Dakota Access Pipeline was announced in 2014. A section of it will run near the Standing Rock Sioux reservation. A reservation is an area of land set aside for American Indians. The tribe says the construction threatens to destroy historical areas and ancient burial sites. They also say the pipeline could pollute their main water source, the Missouri River. In April, the Standing Rock Sioux began a protest against the project. They camped at the construction site. Since then, thousands of people, including people from other American Indian tribes, have traveled to the site to protest.ETP says that the pipeline will have built-in safety measures to protect against oil leaks. Workers will also monitor it remotely, and will be able to close valves(阀门) within three minutes if leaks are detected.American Indians have been staging a nonviolent protest for months. The protest took a turn last week when police were called to keep the peace between protesters and armed security guards hired by the company.(77) Twenty-eight people have been arrested since then and charged with interfering with the pipeline construction.1. Which of the following is the main idea of the passage?A. The Dakota Access Pipeline will create more markets for oil and gas.B. The Dakota Access Pipeline will create many job opportunities.C. American Indians oppose the construction of an oil pipeline.D. American Indians fight for equal voting rights.2. ETP hopes to finish this project in ____________.A. 2016B. 2017C. 2018D. 20193. Why do American Indians protest against the construction of this pipeline?A. Because it will cost up to $3.8 billion.B. Because it threatens the regions’ water supply.C. Because it will make many people lose their jobs.D. Because it will force many people to leave their homes.4. According to the passage, the workers can _______ in case of pipeline leaks.A. report it to the local governmentB. ask people to leave the leak affected areasC. call 911D. close valves5. According to the passage, which of the following statements is NOT TRUE?A. This pipeline will cross four states.B. This pipeline is 1,172 miles long.C. All the protesters are from the Standing Rock Sioux.D. Neither side of the dispute is willing to compromise.Passage 2As the National Park Service celebrates its 100th anniversary(周年纪念), President Barrack Obama has announced the establishment of one new national monument, and the expansion(扩大) of another. In Maine, more than 87,500 acres of forest will become government-protected parkland for the first time. In Hawaii, a national monument created by President George W, Bush in 2006 will expand to about 582,578 square miles, four times its current size.Obama has now created or enlarged 26 national monuments during his presidency. As a result, his a dministration says, Obama has protected more of the nation’s land than any other president has. But some residents and officials, in both Maine and Hawaii, object to the plans. (78) They say their local economies depend on the use of these areas.In establishing this monument, Obama took the side of conservationists (自然资源保护者) who want laws to protect wild lands. Creating a national park usually requires the approval of Congress. But a 1906 federal law allows the president to establish national monument on his own.The lands’ new status as a monument means that mining and drilling operations are forbidden there. (79) It may also severely limit activities such as logging, road-building, and hunting. Some of Maine’s politicians who want to protect the state’s logging industries say Obama should not have acted alone. They say Washington should not tell the states how to use their land, especially when people’s jobs are at stake. Maine politician Susan Collins said the president should have listened to Maine lawmakers and residents, as well as the U.S. Congress before making his decision.However, those who support the president’s decision say the establishment of the new monument will lead to new jobs through tourism.6. Which of the following is the best title for the passage?A. Creating new jobsB. Protecting wild animalsC. Stimulating local economiesD. Creating new national monuments7. Obama has established or enlarged ______ national monument during his two terms.A. 19B. 20C. 26D. 308. In national monuments, ______ is forbidden.A. loggingB. huntingC. miningD. road-building9. The phrase at stake in Paragraph 4 is closest in meaning to _____.A. in returnB. in dangerC. at presentD. by chance10. According to the passage, which of the following statements is NOT TRUE?A. The national monument in Hawaii was created by President Bush.B. There is no objection to President Obama’s decision.C. President Obama made his decision on his own.D. The establishment of the new monument will lead to new jobs.Passage 3Toronto’s third City Hall, now known as Old City Hall, was designed by Edward James Lennox and declared open on Sept. 18, 1899.Created to provide more space for city officials, it turned out to be the largest building in the city and the largest city building in North America at the time.Lennox took three years to design the City Hall and it took 11 years to build it. Contemporaries believe that the odd carving(雕刻) above the Queen Street entrance were actually caricatures(漫画) of councilors at the time.Lennox even included himself in the caricatures, on the west side of the central arch(拱门), and left a strange signature in the stonework of the link portions of the building.The third City Hall was originally used as councilors’ offices and legal offices, but it is used only as a courthouse today.When the fourth City Hall (the one we know today) was declared open in 1965, Old City Hall was threatened to be pulled down. It was saved by a group of people called the “Friends of Old City Hall.”The clock tower stands parallel with the middle of Bay Street, rather than with the center of the building. The bells in the tower were not installed until the building opened. Old City Hall was declared a historical site in 1989.(80) The entire structure cost more than $2.5 million to build at the time. This is equal to $53 million today.11. Toronto’s third City Hall came into use in ______.A. the 18th centuryB. the 19th centuryC. the 20th centuryD. the 21st century12.

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 the Answer Sheet with a single line through the centre.72.Passage 1Question 51 to 55 are based on the following passage:Censorship (审查制度) is for the good of society as a whole. Imagine what chaos there would be if we lived in a society without laws. Like the law, censorship contributes to the common good.Some people think that it is disgraceful that a censor should interfere with works of art. Who is this person, they say, to ban this great book or cut that great film No one can set himself up as a superior being. But we must remember two things. Firstly, where genuine works of art are concerned, modern censors are extremely liberal in their views----often far more liberal than a large section of the public. Artistic merit is something which censors clearly recognize. And secondly, we must bear in mind that the great proportion of books, plays and films which come before the censor are very far from being "works of art".When discussing censorship, therefore, we should not confine our attention to great masterpieces, but should consider the vast numbers of publications and films which make up the bulk (大部分) of the entertainment industry. When censorship laws are relaxed, dishonest people are given a licence to produce virtually anything in the name of "art". There is an increasing tendency to equate "artistic" with "pornographic" (色情的).So one of the great things that censorship does is to prevent certain people from making fat profits by corrupting the minds of others. Society would really be poorer if it deprived itself of the wise counsel and the restraining influence which a censor provides.51.A censor's duty is ____.52.A) to see there is no filthy content in publications or films53.B) to ban books and cut films54.C) to distinguish works of art from others55.D) to make sure that no licence is given to dishonest people56. people are against censorship for the reason that ____.57.A) censorship is not consistent with the ideals of democracy58.B) censors prevent people from making profits59.C) censors are conservative and cannot appreciate artistic merit60.D) censorship limits the way people feel and think61. the writer says "to equate 'artistic' which 'pornographic', he means ____.62.A) there is no clear distinction between what is artistic and what is pornographic63.B) masterpieces are sometimes offensive to decency64.C) many pornographic works will be published in the name of art65.D) artistic works and pornographic works have the same market value66. to the writer, a society free from censorship ____.67.A) would be poor materially68.B) would expose its people to dangers of being corrupted69.C) could not develop its entertainment industry70.D) would allow only a small section of people to make profits71. the following are the writer's views except that ____.72.A) censors are fully qualified for their job73.B) masterpieces even with pornographic content are still masterpieces74.C) society will not do without censorship75.D) many books, plays and films are not works of art76.Passage 277.Question 56 to 60 are based on the following passage:78.A few weeks ago I was talking to a school inspector in one of the more fashionable districts of Paris. She astonished me by saying that if she had young children today, she'd probably send them to a private school. She had devoted 25 years of her life to the ideal of free public education, she said, but the truth was the state system was in a mess.79.There are two main problems: State schools in France have to accept whatever teachers are assigned to them by the Ministry of Education. As my school inspector friend put it, "one year a school may be excellent; three or four years later, half the teachers may be incapable!" That is not very reassuring if you're a parent. Private schools can choose their own teachers.80.The other problem is discipline or, rather, the lack of it. Not long ago a school in Birmingham made headlines in Britain because the teachers were being terrorized by their pupils. In the desolate suburbs of low-cost apartment blocks, thrown together in the 1960s on the outskirts of most big French cities, such stories are commonplace. Vandalism(破坏他人财产的行为), drug-taking and extortion aren't limited to schools in poor areas either. A recent poll found that 88 per cent of French children rate as the biggest problem of their school lives the prevalence (流行, 猖獗)of factions and gangs which spend all their time fighting one another. Small wonder, then, that the private schools, with their emphasis on traditional values, are undergoing a new surge of popularity (despite disapproval from France's new socialist leaders), and competition to get into the best of them has now become intense.81. French school inspector has long been a supporter of ____.82.A) compulsory education B) free private education83.C) private schools D) the state school system84. French state education system ____.85.A) does not guarantee the competence of teachers B) seems to have no serious difficulties86.C)is running smoothly D) promises to maintain high standards87. schools in France today ____.88.A) are generally undergoing changes for the worse89.B) enjoy the prestige(声望) of becoming the place to send one's children to90.C) have become victims of vandalism91.D) never hire teachers who stress traditional values92. of discipline among students is rampant in state schools ____.93.A) in the Paris slums, but not in other areas94.B) noticeably and solely in the poorer areas in French cities95.C) almost everywhere in France96.D) rather restricted to Birmingham97. children who wish to go to the best private schools can do so by ____.98.A) taking highly competitive examinations B) simply sending in applications99.C) joining factions and gangs D) drawing lots100.PartⅢCloze ( 10 points, 15 minutes )101.Directions: There are 20 blanks in the following passage. For each blank there are four choices marked A), B), C) and D). You should choose the One that th e best fits into the passage. Then mark the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet with a single line through the cettre.102.Today vegetables, fish, fruit, meat and beer are canned in enormous quantities. Within three generations the 81 habits of millions have been revolutionized. Foods that were previously 82 may now be eaten at any time, and strange foods are 83 far from the countries where they are 84 . The crops many farmers now produce often depend on the nearness of a canning factory.103.The first stage in the canning 85 is the preparation of the raw food. Diseased and waste portions are thrown 86 ; meat and fish are cleaned and trimmed; fruit and vegetables washed and graded for 87 . The jobs are principally 88 by machine. 104.The next stage, for vegetables only, is soak in very 89 or boiling water for a short time to remove air and 90 the vegetable. This makes 91 easier to pack into cans for sterilization (free from living germs).Some packing machines fill 92 to 400 cans a minute. Fruit, fish and meat are packed raw and cold into cans, and then all the air is removed. 93 the cans are sealed, the pressure inside each can is only about half the pressure of the outside air.105.The sterilization process which follows the cans are subjected 94 steam or boiling water, with the temperature and time 95 according to the type of food. Cans of fruit, for example, 96 only 5-10 minutes in boiling water, 97 meat and fish are cooked at higher temperatures for 98 period. After sterilization, the cans are cooled quickly to 32 degree to prevent the contents 99 becoming too soft.106.The final stage before sending off to the grocer is labeling, and packing the tins into boxes. Nowadays, however, labeling is often printed on in 100 by the can-maker and no paper labels are then required.107. eat B) eatable C) eaten D) eating108. monthly B) year-round C) seasonal D) quarterly109. accessible B) obtained C) available D) usable110. planting B) grown C) growing D) producing111. process B) reaction C) procession D) program112. about B) away C) down D) up113. size B) length C) height D) breadth114. had B) fulfilled C) pocked D) done115. chilly B) cold C) hot D) freezing116. soften B) cook C) steam D) harden117. them B) it C) us D) that118. up B) down C) in D) on119.

They are all taken from the reading passage you have just read.129.① (line 1-3, para. 3, passage 1 ) When discussing censorship, therefore, we should not confine our attention to great masterpieces, but should consider the vast numbers of publications and films which make up the bulk (大部分) of the entertainment industry.130.② (line 2-3, para. 2, passage 2 ) As my school inspector friend put it, "one year a school may be excellent; three or four years later, half the teachers may be incapable!"131.③ (line 5-7, para. 2, passage 3 ) He must serve as a man responsible for the fortune he has earned and use that fortune to provide greater opportunity for all and to increase man’s knowledge of himself and of his universe.132.④ (line 2-4, para. 2, Passage 4 ) It is just one of several techniques being tried at . medical schools and hospitals in an attempt to deal with the most universal complaint about doctors: lack of sympathy.133.⑤ (line 6-9, para. 1, Passage 5 ) Differentials(差异)in infant mortality were very large---75 per cent higher in poverty than in nonpoverty areas. In both cases, the differences between white and nonwhite were even more substantial than between poverty and nonpoverty areas.134.⑥ (line 3-4, para. 4, passage 6) Monitoring by computer has proven to be very accurate and increases early discovery of life threatening events.Part V &n, bsp; Writing (20 points, 35 minutes)Directions: For this part, you are allowed 35 minutes to write a composition on the topic Diligence is the Father of Success.

Passage OneWe are all busy talking about and using the Internet, but how many of us know the history of the Internet?Many people are surprised when they find that the Internet was set up as recently as the 1960s. At that time, computers were large and expensive. Computer networks didn’t work well. If one computer in the network broke down, then the whole network stopped. So a new network system had to be set up. It should be good enough to be used by many different computers. If part of the network was not working, information could be sen through another part. In this way the computer network system would keep on working all the time.At first the Internet was only used by the government, but in the 1970s, universities, hospitals and banks began to use it, too. However, computers were still very expensive and the Internet was difficult to use. At the beginning of the 1990s, computers became cheaper and easier to use. And scientists developed software that made Internet “surfing” more convenient.Today it is easy to get online and it is said that millions of people use the Internet every day.16. The Internet was set up in _____________.A. 1960B. the 1960sC. 1970D. the 1970s17. Computer networks didn’t work well at first because ___________.A. computers were large and expensiveB. computers couldn’t send information fastC. computers didn’t fit into the same networkD. if one computer failed, the whole network stopped18.

In the 1970s the Internet was easy to use but computers were costly.20. The best title for the passage is ____________.A. The Future of the InternetB. The History of ComputersC. The history of the InternetD. Convenient Internet SurfingPassage TwoAlan Chang was a handsome young man with good manners.One morning he was walking along a street on his way to an appointment. He did not want to be early or late. He had forgotten to put on his watch so he went up to a man who was waiting for a taxi.“Excuse me, sir,” he said, very politely, “but could you tell me the time?”The man, who was very well-dressed and looked quite rich, said nothing. He did not even look at Alan. Alan spoke to him again. “Excuse me, sir,” he said, “but could you please tell me what time it is?”This time the man looked at him, but he did not speak and looked quickly away. Alan thought to himself: well, he can hear me; he must be just rude. So Alan asked again, “Why wouldn’t you tell me the time, sir?”The man turned towards him and said, “Put yourself in my shoes. I am standing here waiting for a taxi. You come up to me and ask me for the time. If I tell it to you, you will thank me.

There are hundreds of miles of beaches on the twenty islands of Hawaii. They are thought to be among the finest beaches in the world.Then, what do you think would be the second beautiful thingIt is volcanoes (火山), of course. These volcanoes are not just a part of the islands; they made the islands in the first place. Because of them the islands are still growing. What would be the third thing of beauty that the first visitor to Hawaii would notice It probably wouldn’t be just one thing, but many things: all the wonderful fruits and flowers of the islands. Sugar cane, bananas and pineapples are Hawaii’s biggest exports. Sugar cane has been growing in Hawaii for a thousand years. As forpineapples, the islands produce more than any other places in the world, which has made Dole Company the biggest fruit-packing company in the world.The fourth and most beautiful thing about Hawaii is the people who live there. The Hawaiians never rush, and perhaps this is because they care more for human life than they care for the machine. There is an old Hawaiian law that a man can go to sleep in the middle of the road if he wants to. What makes the people of Hawaii so beautiful is their feeling about people. There are 64 different combinations of races on the islands, and they all live in peace. They believe “Above all nations is humanity.” That is the most beautiful thing of all.26. According to the passage, Hawaii is made up of ___________.A. one islandB. twenty islandsC. sixty-four islandsD. hundreds of islands27. Why are the volcanoes so special to the islandsA. They are not a part of the islands.B. They actually made the islands.C. They are the first in the world.D. They are growing.28. What has made Dole Company the biggest fruit-packing company in the worldA. Sugar.B. Sugar cane.C. Bananas.D. Pineapples.29. The people in Hawaii are the most beautiful thing because ___________.A. they had a peaceful historyB. they can sleep in the middle of the roadC. there are 64 different races on the islandsD. they care more for people than anything else30. According to the passage, “above all nations is humanity” might mean___________.A. not all nations have humanityB. humanity is as important as a nationC. humanity has no national boundariesD. all human beings should live in peace Passage FourThere is a measurable relation between how much a person learns and his attitude toward the subject to be learned. When faced with a difficult learning task, one path to success is to concentrate on the positive aspects of the subject matter. If a student has a boring teacher, one solution is to look for the positive aspects of completing the course, regardless of how boring the teacher happens to be. To accomplish this might require a private tutor or some independent reading, but with the right attitude, success is possible.Over-achievers – students who do better than their test scores show – usually have a positive interest toward learning. They may learn some things more slowly, and they may make more efforts, but, to compensate (补偿), they are often betterat applying what they have learned. As long as they do not have emotional problems, they are successful.Under-achievers – those who function below their ability shown by test scored –often tend to allow a few negative factors to affect them. Because of their negative attitudes, they sometimes become unfairly critical of teachers. They allow themselves to get bored when it is not necessary. In short, their attitudes often cause them to learn less than over-achievers.。

Each of the passages is followed by 5 questions or unfinished statements.For each of them there are 4 choices marked A,B,C,D. Choose the best one and mark your answer on the ANSWER SHEET with a single line through the center.Passage OneI knew a man who was asked to be the new dean<院长>of the College of Business of a large university. When he first arrived, he studied the situation the college faced and felt that what it needed most was money.He recognized that he had a unique capacity to raise money,and he developed a real sense of vision about fund-raising as his primary function.This created a problem in the college because past deans had focused mainly on meeting day-to-day faculty needs.This new dean was never there. He was running around the country trying to raise money for research. But he was not attending to the day-to-day things as the previous dean had. The faculty,who were used to working with the person at the top,had to work through his administrative assistant.The faculty became so upset with his absence that they sent a delegation to the president of the university to demand a new dean or a fundamental change in his leadership style. The president,who knew what the dean was doing, said,"Relax.He has a good administrative assistant.Give him some more time."Within a short time, the money started pouring in and the faculty began to recognize the vision. It wasn’t long until every time they saw the dean, they would say,"Get out of here!We don’t want to see you. Go out and bring in more funds.Your administrative assistant runs this office better than anyone else."This man admitted to me later that the mistake he made was not doing enough team building ,enough explaining, enough educating about what he was trying to accomplish.From him I learned a powerful lesson. We need to constantly be asking ourselves,"What is needed out there, and what is my unique strength?"16. The new dean thought that the most important thing for him to do was to _Ｄ____.A.gain a sense of visionB.set up a primary goalC.win the trust of the facultyD. raise money17.The new dean was different from the past deans in that ___Ｂ_____.A.he was less responsibleB.he didn’t attend to daily thingsC.he had an administrative assistantD.he didn’t like to talk with others18.We can learn from the passage that the faculty __Ｂ___. A.was not well paid for their workB.didn’t understand the new dean’s ideas at firstC.had a conflict with the president of the universityD.didn’t want to work with the administrative assistant19. The faculty would ask the new dean to get out because they ____Ａ___. A.were upset by his leadership style B.wanted to get rid of himC.were unhappy with his explanationD.wanted him to bring back more money20.What was the mistake the new dean realized he had made?ＣA.He was absent all theyear around.B.He was insensitive to the faculty’s needs.C.He didn’t communicate well with the faculty.D.He didn’t work hard to accomplish his goal.Passage TwoIs new technology damaging our ability to communicate?Fingers flying ,we can blog<写博客文章>,email,and enter chat rooms.But ,as we type our millions of words, something is being lost.As our virtual skills increase,I wonder if our ability to communicate using speech is on the decline.Young people send me dozens of emails from schools and universities. They often attach long lists of questions,to which they want detailed responses. Time is short, so my reply is usually that they can phone me and I’ll do my best to answer.They very rarely do,at least partly because their oral and telephone skills are less developed than their ability to type,text and email.Yet to adapt an old business saying,a meeting is worth five phone calls and a phone call is worth five emails.Direct communication can quickly lead to bonding and trust.People are more likely to reveal what they are thinking when they actually speak to another person.Most are wary of committing themselves in writing.The great tragedy, of course,is that the phone was invented before the computer.If it had been the other way around,Internet forums would now be filled with the news:"Have you heard <type,type,type>?There is this amazing new device<type,type>.Now you can talk directly with people<type,type,type>.Without all this typing."Marketing would do the rest and college would be rushing to develop new course in telephone skills.But,as it is ,we are stuck with the supremacy of the typed word and it is getting in the way of our ability to look people in the eye and talk. We should reconsider the technology in which the speed of our fingers is more important than the quality of our voices.21.According to the author, young people today don’t ___Ａ___. A. like to communicate using speech B.like to communicate with peopleC.know how to communicate with peopleD.know how to ask questions in communication22. According to Paragraph 3, compared with meetings, e-mails are __Ｃ___. A.more efficient B. more interesting C.less efficient D.less interesting23. In Paragraph 4,"wary of "can be replaced by "____B___"A.good atB.happy abouted toD.cautious about24. The author believes that if the phone had been invented after the computer,people would ___A________.A.be eager to learn how to use the phoneB.be glad to have both means of communicationC.still prefer typing words on the computerD.show little interest in the phone25.Which of the following can best describe the author’s attitude towards the communication using typed words today?AA.Concerned.B. Curious.C.Indifferent.D.Impatient. Passage ThreeMost Americans are very conscious of their health and try to maintain a nutritious dietand daily routines to maintain good health.Yet, for many years the tobacco and liquor industries have tried to project the image of style and fashion for those who use their products.Most have learned, however , that the dangers caused to health by tobacco and alcohol can no longer be denied or ignored.The campaigns to alert the public to the evils of these two social drugs have been intense and effective .However,most people dislike being warned that they shouldn’t do something.It is a kind of psychological resistance.Yet, all tobacco and liquor products must now contain a warning on the package.The warning is simple,but the message is clear:smoking and drinking are hazardous to health. The wording may vary, but it is phrased in such a way as to draw the attention of the consumer to the danger.On TV all tobacco advertising is legally banned, and every ad in a magazine must display the warning.There are many public notices on trains and buses giving out the warning that smoking is linked to lung cancer and other lung and heart diseases.The warning against alcohol consumption is of a different kind.It goes out especially to women who are pregnant and anyone operating a car or electrical machinery. A pregnant woman can cause damage to her baby by drinking alcohol.Also anyone operating a machine runs the risk of an accident which could be fatal.Such warnings appear on all wine bottles and even an appatently harmless can of beer.26.Tobacco and liquor ads try to make people believe that smoking and drinking will ________C______.A.make them look fashionableB.help them keep a nutritious dietC.make them conscious of their healthD.show their healthy images to others27.In the case of smoking and drinking, most people __B______. A.ignore the campaigns against them B.are aware of the dangers they cause C.do not really believe their dangersD.participate in campaigns against them28.It can be inferred from the passage that the campaign against smoking is _____B_.A.short-livedB.long-standingC.widespreadD.well organized29.Tobacco advertising is __B_______. A.popularized B.restricted C.bannedD.disliked30.Warnings against drinking are usually directed at ____D_____. A.civiliansB.car driversC.young peopleD.some groups of peoplePassage FourToday,there is no such thing as a "typical"college student.People of all ages are enrolled in colleges.Though the concept of college may be the same for all students,the stress and future goals are different.The college students most people think of usually range in age from 18-21,and are most often away from home for the first time.As a result,they now have choices and no parent to tell them what to do. They are responsible for their own lives,needing to learn to manage their time and find a job,while attending school.They enter this new world with the anticipation of freedom, fun and a good job aftergraduation.The new faces in the college are usually 30 years old or older, and are returning to school after several years away.They are starting their college education, after raising a family and now ready to do something for themselves.Their lives are considerably different from their younger classmates.They have been on their own for a while,and are concerned about family, responsibilities, work, and the adjustment of being back in school after some years. Most important to them are the hopes of a new career or a job promotion after they graduate.Though they may come to college for different reasons, the result is the same, It is their chance to make a better life for themselves or their families.As the younger generation is looking for freedom in their lives, those who are returning to school also see freedom.The same opportunities were not available 20 years ago.So in our college and universities, there is a new sense of hope and dreams.Where once stood only the youth of our future, they are now joined by people of all ages who share the dreams of a better life.31.The passage is mainly concerned with the change of ______B__. A.college administration B.college students C.college coursesD.college life32. In the past college students usually __C______.A.lived with their parentsB.found good jobs easilyC.had much time to spareD.had no burden of raising a family33.College students of the new type ____C______.A.enjoy freedom once againB.are worried about their parentsC.aim at a new job or promotionD.study harder than other students34.One thing that the younger and older college students share is ____A__.

A.college students raising a familyB.college students living on their parentsC.older people going back to collegeD.the students’struggle for freedomPart ⅢVocabulary and Structure <20 points>Directions:There are 40 incomplete sentences in this part.For each sentence there are 4 choices marked A,B,C,D.Choose the one that best completes the sentence.Mark your answer on the ANSWER SHEET with a single line through the center.36.I suffer from stage ___B____ whenever I have to make a presentation in front of the class.A.surpriseB.trialC. frightD.display37.The whole new policy has proved a ____D___ and should be abandoned.

Being“Cool”in Middle SchoolA new study shows that gentle and quiet kids in middle school will grow up to rule.Or, at least,they’ll live healthier and more productive lives than the“Cool”kids will.The study looked at13-year-olds who acted old for their age by having“cool”behavior, such as early romantic relationships.They were seen as“cool”and popular kids.But as they grew up,things changed.The study found that these kids tended to have problems with drugs and relationships by their early20s.Their behavior was no longer linked with popularity. Instead,they were thought to be less socially skilled by their peers.Besides,the average “cool”kids,by age22,did more poorly than the average kids in the study.They had a45 percent greater rate of problems due to drugs and alcohol.They also had a22percent greater rate of criminal behavior.The study also found that these kids failed to develop important life skills.They spent so much time trying to seem cool.They didn’t develop the skills needed for meaningful friendships.The study followed86male and98female middle school students for a10-year period. It has some surprising findings.In particular,the study notes that the so-called“cool”behavior is a predictor（预示）of future problems with drugs and alcohol.In fact,it is abetter predictor than drug and alcohol use in middle school.However,one conclusion of the study is welcome.Researchers said that parents shouldn’t worry too much if their kids don’t seem that popular.If a kid prefers to spend Saturday nights at home watching a movie or reading instead of going out with friends,that is not a cause for concern.Many“uncool”kids, they said,do much better later on than the popular kids do.1.Gentle kids are less healthy when they grow up.A.TrueB.FalseC.Not Given2.“Cool”kids try to imitate adult behavior.A.TrueB.FalseC.Not Given3.Romantic relationships seem cool to some teenagers.A.TrueB.FalseC.Not Given4.“Uncool”kids are more likely to commit crimes.A.TrueB.FalseC.Not Given5.“Cool”kids have better life skills than“uncool”kids.A.TrueB.FalseC.Not Given6.“Uncool”kids spend most of their time studying.A.TrueB.FalseC.Not Given7.The study followed the students for a decade.A.TrueB.FalseC.Not Given8.“Cool”kids marry earlier than“uncool”kids.A.TrueB.FalseC.Not Given9.Parents needn’t worry if their kids are“uncool”.A.TrueB.FalseC.Not Given10.“Cool”kids remain popular all their lives.A.TrueB.FalseC.Not Given第二部分：阅读选择（第11～15题，每题2分，共10分）阅读下面短文，请从短文后所给各题的4个选项(A、B、C、D)中选出1个最佳选项，并在答题卡相应位置上将该项涂黑。

For each of them there are 4 choices marked A, B, C and D . Choose the best one and mark your answer on the ANSWER SHEET.Passage OneScientists said they have found evidence of a giant planet far out in our solar system. In a statement, the California Institute of Technology—Caltech—said this planet travels a ver y strange “long and thin orbit in the distant solar system.” The discovery was made by tw o researchers at Caltech: Konstantin Batygin and Mike Brown. They used mathematical m odeling and computer simulations(摸拟) to find the planet. So far, there have not been any direct observations of the planet. “My jaw hit the floor,” said astronomer(宇航员) Mike Brown, the moment he realized there might be a ninth planet.The scientists said it would take this planet 10,000 to 20,000 years just to make one full or bit around the sun. The new planet, called “Planet Nine”, has a mass about 10 times the si ze of Earth. If they are right, the newly found planet would be the ninth planet in our solar system. Pluto(冥王星) had been called the ninth planet until 2006, when it was renamed a “dwarf planet.”Actual confirmation of a ninth planet would be very big news. “This would be a real ninth planet,” Brown said in the statement. “There have only been two true planets discovered since ancient times, and this would be a third. It's a pretty substantial chunk of our solar system that's still out there to be found, which is pretty exciting.”While they did not get a picture of “Planet Nine” yet, the scientists say they are using the biggest—and best—telescopes on Earth to try to find “Planet Nine.” They are also workin g on improving their computer simulations. They want to find out more about “Planet Ni ne’s” orbit, and its impact on the outer part of our solar system.16. The newly-found planet ________.A. moves around the SunB. was discovered by two astronomersC. travels a round orbitD. is far away from our solar system17. The possibility of finding a ninth planet made Mike Brown ________.A. confusedB. frightenedC. satisfiedD. surprised18. According to the scientists, ________A. the planet is ten times larger than the EarthB. it takes the planet less than 10,000 years to make a full orbitC. Pluto was once thought to be the ninth planet in the solar systemD. Pluto was given a new name after it was discovered in 200619. It can be inferred from Paragraph 4 that ________.A. there is no actual confirmation about the ninth planetB. no true planets were discovered in ancient timesC. scientists have found three planets in modern timesD. the ninth planet is the only one discovered since ancient times20. To find “Planet Nine”, scientists are using all the following EXCEPT ________.A. mathematical modelingB. computer simulationsC. advanced telescopesD. large spacecraftsPassage Two“Helicopter parenting” describes a style of raising children where parents are over-prot ective and do too much. The term was used for the first time in the late 1960s. It describes parents who hover(悬停) over their kids like a helicopter. Today, modern technology allows these helicopter par ents to hover from even far away. They can give their children directions at any moment f rom anywhere.Author Julie Lythcott-Haims wrote a book titled How to Raise an Adull. In her book, she gi ves readers a closer look at this parenting style.“Over-parenting”, she says, “comes in three types: the first is the over-protective parent s who think the world is scary and unsafe and unpredictable. And therefore, I must protec t and prevent. The second type is the over-directive type—the parent who says, I know be st what leads to success and you will do as I say. You’ll study these topics, do these activies and you will be highly achieving at all of it. The thir d type is the concierge(看门人)—the parent who just wants to make life smoother—from waking their kid up, to keeping track of their deadlines, to making sure they haven't f orgotten anything, to even doing the homework for the kid.”Julie Lythcott-Haims says she experienced the effects of helicopter parenting firsthand w hen she worked as dean of first-year students at Stanford University. The incoming students were very smart and accomplished on paper. But many were unable to take care of th emselves.“They were turning to parents constantly for guidance, for problem solving, to have the m make the choice about something.” Often times, Lythcott-Haims had to remind those p arentsthat their kids were old enough to take care of themselves.21. The term “helicopter parenting” ________.A. describes parents who give children directions in the airB. was probably invented in the late nineteenth centuryC. gains more meaning as modern technology developsD. refers to parents who concern too much about kids22. According to Lythcott-Haims, over-parenting has all the following features EXCEPT __ _____ A. over-directive B. over-dependent C. over-preventive D. over-pr otective23. It can be inferred that a concierge mother will ________.A. regard the world as very dangerousB. allow children to do whatever they likeC. keep a close eye on the kid’s assignmentD. let the kid alone when he falls on the ground24. In Julie’s eyes, the first-year students at Stanford University are ________.A. very clever in studyingB. really good at problem-solvingC. unable to communicate with teachersD. having problems making friends25. Lythcott-Haims’ attitude towards helicopter parenting is ________.A. supportiveB. negativeC. uninterestedD. unclearPassage ThreeI recently had the opportunity to go to my first ever music festival. We Love Green was he ld over a weekend in Parc de Bagatelle, Paris. While like most music festivals, it boasted an impressive and diverse music, there was something extra special about this one. You see, thiswas a green festival!From the food to the stalls(货摊), everything was as environmentally friendly as possible. Not only was the majority of t he furniture/stalls/toilet rooms hand-made from wood, the festival was powered by solar e nergy. Guests were invited to dispose of rubbish in specially labeled dustbins which, afte r the festival, were sorted so all of the waste could be recycled appropriately. Fresh water was made available freely to everyone so that attendants were not encouraged to buy dri nks in plastic bottles which would have created a lot of waste.I found the experience incredibly fun but also really interesting. Having never been to a m usic festival before, I was unsure of what to expect. However, I was happy to find myself s itting in a field eating a healthy, home-made fruit cake while drinking organic fruit juice. T here were many stalls, art installations, and different areas, meaning there was something there for everyone, from small children to the elderly!This seems like such a great idea, making something very fun and interesting, that does n ot cause great damage to the environment. I have since discovered that there are more ev ents similar to this across the globe, which is great! I can’t imagine how much waste has been produced from such public events as festivals across the years before we realised j ust how bad they were for the environment!26. Which of the following can be the title of the passage?A. We Love GreenB. We Love EnvironmentC. Music FestivalsD. A Unique Public Event27. What is special about the music festival?A. It has a special band.B. It has a unique program list.C. It is held every weekend.D. It is environmentally friendly.28. At the music festival, guests were encouraged to ________.A. make furniture from woodB. bring plastic-bottled drinksC. recycle rubbish by themselvesD. drink free fresh water29. According to Paragraph 3, the author ________.A. fully enjoyed the festivalB. expected muh from the festivalC. found the event very funnyD. liked listening to music at home30. The purpose of this passage is to ________.A. raise funds for environment protectionB. highlight that being green can be funC. encourage people to go to music festivalsD. introduce the author's favourite music iansPassage FourChokwe Selassie is on a mission to help drivers avoid potholes(路面坑洞). The eighth-grader got his inspiration on a recent morning, when his mother was drivi ng him to school. Their car was damaged as it went over a huge pothole in the middle of t he street in their hometown of Jackson, Mississippi. “I decided I was going to do somethi ng about the pothole problem in my city,” said Chokwe. His solution: an app that warns d rivers when there is a pothole ahead.Chokwe developed the app with his friends, “When the app detects a pothole, it is highlig hted in red,” Chokwe says. “And if you get close to the pothole, your phone will warn you with a beep.” Drivers can also use the app to report any potholes they encounter, and to l ook for other routes they can take to avoid roads that have them.The app relies on current available information about the streets of Jackson. “It works by using the city’s 311 call system, so it uses information already stored in a database,” Cho kwe says. Through the call system, citizens dial 311 to report non-emergency problems—which include potholes. As Chokwe and his friends worked on the app, they also went str eet by street throughout the city. They determined that focusing on the 10 busiest streets in Jackson would give them a large enough sample size to test it.Although the app isn’t yet available for sale, Chokwe is already looking for ways to impro ve it. The app remains limited to 10 streets in Jackson, but he hopes to add more, so that it includes every street in the city. And then he wants to go even farther. “I want to keep working on the app until it’s nationwide,” Chokwe says.31. Chokwe Selassie got the idea to develop the app from ________.A. his own experienceB. a recent news reportC. his friendsD. his mother32. When you are close to a pothole, your phone will warn you with ________.A. a voice reportB. a red lightC. a beeping soundD. a map image33. Drivers can also use Chokwe’s app to ________.A. report emergency traffic problemsB. look for information other than potholesC. choose safer routes without potholesD. avoid traffic jam caused by potholes34. To develop the app, Chokwe and his friends ________.A. reported potholes to 311 call systemB. conducted field trips on the streetsC. built their own information databaseD. collected samples in their neighborhood35. We can learn from the last paragraph that Chokwe ________.A. is quite successfulB. is facing difficultiesC. has regained hopeD. has a great am bitionPart III Vocabulary and Structure (20 points)Directions: There are 40 incomplete sentence in this part.
