2009年江苏省专转本考试英语试卷及答案1

江苏省2009年普通高校专转本统一考试英语试卷（非英语专业）第I卷 (共100分)Part I Reading Comprehension (共20小题，每小题2分，共40分) Passage OneYoung Koreans are beginning to do it alone when it comes to finding a partner, though matchmaking is still the most common way for boys to meet girls.Professional matchmakers can make thousands of American dollars by introducing suitable marriage partners to each other, but partners also play a role in the process during which young Koreans meet.In Confucius Korea, where marriage is regarded as more of a business contract than a sacred thing, the scene of the first meeting is repeated hundreds of times a day in coffee shops in the main hotels around Seoul. The business of continuing the family lineage （血统）and keeping the blooding pure is often too important to be left to romance and chance encounters.Often, the girl will work out a system of secret signals with her mother, from which her parents can tell if she is interested.For example, if the girl orders a coffee it might mean that she wants her parents to leave her alone with the boy, while a milk shows that she wants them to stay.Sometimes the matchmaking is not always so formal, with theintroduction being made by friends.But whether through friends or families, there is hardly a Korean man in the country who has not gone through this process --- sometimes six or seven times.B1. The word “matchmaking” in the passage means __C____.A. a very formal ritual（仪式）attended by boys and girlsB. introducing boys and girls to know each other for the purpose of marriageC. producing matches to make a fire or light a cigaretteD. arranging games between men and womenD2. The fact that the first meeting is repeated again and again in coffee shops in the main hotels suggests that ___C___.A. Koreans like drinking coffee in coffee shops very muchB. men and women want to meet as many times as possibleC. they are busy with communicating with different peopleD. marriage is seen as a business contract instead of something sacred B3. Why does the matching still exist in Korea?AA. Because most people want to keep the bloodlines pure and chance encounters romantic.B. Because most people try to avoid romance and keep the bloodlines pure.C. Because most people regard marriage as continuing family lineage and romance.D. Because most people try to break family lineage and bloodlines.A4. Which of the following is true according to the passage?CA. Almost every man or woman in Korea has to go through the matchmaking.B. From the signal the boy’s parents know whether their son is interested in the girl or not.C. At present young Koreans no longer need matchmaking to help them find partners.D. Only a girl and a boy will appear in the first arranged meeting. A5. The passage is mainly about A______.A. the practice of matchmaking in KoreaB. the importance of a business contractC. the work of professional matchmakersD. the first meeting between men and womenPassage twoIn the university Jim was a fast-tracker. He made good grades with little effort, and his classmates thought of him “most likely to succeed”. After graduation, he joined a large company and at first did well. However, he switched to several smaller companies where the same pattern developed time and again: well-liked, regarded as a fast-tracker. People wonder why he isn’t doing better.Then there was Tom who was always regarded as “average”. However, he set his goals high, then found a way to achieve his goal. Today he owns a million-dollar company.Researchers have found that school performance is little related tojob performance. Qualities like “steady and dependable”and “practical and organized” are more important.“You don’t need talent to succeed”, insist some experts. “All you need is a big pot of glue (胶水). You put some on your chair, you sit down, and you stick to every project until you’ve done the best you can do.” Average achievers stay glued to their chairs and postpone pleasure so they can receive future benefits. Many fast-trackers, on the other hand, expect too much too soon. When rewards don’t materialize instantly, they may become disappointed and unhappy.D6. A fast-tracker in this passage refers to a person who __C____A. feels happy with everythingB. makes others disappointed and unhappyC. is an excellent studentD. learns new things quicklyC7. According to the passage, which of the following is true about a fast-tracker?CA. He is very talented in his work.B. He is not likely to get rich.C. He may not stick to his work.D. He is dependable and practical. B8. The word “materialize” in the last paragraph means “_C_____”.A. matterB. appearC. matchD. attractD9. It is implied in the passage that ___D___.A. one has no pleasure until he succeedsB. glue can help one focus on one’s work.C. success has nothing to do with special talentD. success is closely related to patience and steadinessD10. A proper title for the passage can be _C_____.A. The magic of GlueB. The Way to SuccessC. Why Talented People Often Succeed QuicklyD. How average Achievers Do Better than OthersPassage ThreeFrom good reading we can derive pleasure, companionship, experience, and instruction. A good book may absorb our attention so completely that for the time being we forget our surroundings and even our identity. Reading good books is one of the greatest pleasures in life. It increases our contentment when we are cheerful, and lessens our troubles when we are sad. Whatever may be our main purpose in reading, our contact with good books should never fail to give us enjoyment and satisfaction.With a good book in hand we need never be lonely. Whether the characters portrayed are taken from real life or are purely imaginary, they may become our companions and friends. In the pages of books we can walk with the wise and the good of all lands and all times. The people we meet in books may delight us either because they resemble human friends whom we hold dear or because they represent unfamiliar types whom we are glad to welcome as new acquaintances. Our human friends sometimes may bore us, but friends we make in books need never weary us with their company. By turning the pages we can dismiss them without any fear ofhurting their feelings. When human friends desert us, good books are always ready to give us friendship, sympathy and encouragement.One of the most valuable gifts bestowed by books is experience. Few of us travel far from home or have a wide range of experiences, but all of us can lead varied lives through the pages of books. Whether we wish to escape from the seemingly dull realities of everyday life or whether we long to visit some far-off place, a book will help us when nothing else can. To travel by book we need no bank account to pay for our way, no airship or ocean liner or streamlined train to transport us, no passport to enter the land of our heart’s desire. Through books we may get the thrill of hazardous adventure without danger. We can climb lofty mountains or cross the scorching sands of the desert, all without hardship. Indeed, through books the whole world is ours for the asking. The possibilities of our literary experiences are almost unlimited. The beauties of nature, the enjoyment of music, the treasures of art, the triumphs of architecture, the marvels of engineering, are all open to the wonder and enjoyment of those who read.D11. The main idea in the first paragraph is _B_____.A. pleasure can only be derived from reading good booksB. a good book may distract our attentionC. people can read good books in different waysD. enjoyment and satisfaction can be derived from reading good booksB12. The main reason that people like their acquaintances in books is__C____.A. they are like human friends exactlyB. they never bore us in comparison with our human friendsC. they never hurt our feelingsD. they give human beings friendship, sympathy and encouragementB13. We forget our surroundings and even our identity because _B_____.A. the reading environment is very goodB. the book is extremely interesting and attractiveC. we are alone and no one interrupts usD. we are asked to return the book the second dayC14. Which of the following is NOT true?CA. All of us can lead varied lives through the pages of books.B. We can travel by book free of charge to our heart’s content.C. We should rely on reading to escape from the seemingly dull realities of everyday life.D. Valuable experiences can be obtained from reading good books.A15. “The whole world is ours for the asking” implies that __C____A. the world is more accessible in books than in realityB. the world is easy to travel around as long as we walkC. the world belongs to us whenever we askD. round-world trips can be made by everyonePassage FourIncreasingly over the past ten years, people --- especially youngpeople --- have become aware of the need to change their eating habits, because much of the food they eat, particularly processed foods, is not good for health. Consequently, there has been a growing interest in natural foods: foods which do not contain chemical additives and which have not been affected by chemical fertilizers widely used in farming today.Natural foods, for example, include vegetables, fruit and grain which have been grown in soil that is rich in organic matter. In simple terms, this means that the soil has been nourished by unused vegetable matter, which provides it with essential vitamins and minerals. This in itself is a natural process compared with the use of chemicals and fertilizers, the main purpose of which is to increase the amount --- but not the quality --- of foods grown in commercial farming areas.Natural foods also include animals which have been allowed to feed and move freely in healthy pastures. Compare this with what happens in the mass production of poultry: there are battery farms, for example, where thousands of chickens live crowded together in one building and are fed on food which is little better than rubbish. Chickens kept in this way are not only tasteless as food; they also produce eggs which lack important vitamins.It is significant that nowadays fiber is considered to be an important part of a healthy diet. In white bread, for example, the fiber has been removed. But it is present in unrefined flour and of course in vegetables.It is interesting to note that in countries where the national diet contains large quantities of unrefined flour and vegetables, certain diseases are comparatively rare. Hence the emphasis placed on the eating of whole meal bread and more vegetables by modern experts on “healthy eating”.16. People have become more interested in natural foods because ______.A. they like changing their diet from time to timeB. they want to eat food that is more deliciousC. much of the food they eat is no longer considered to be healthyD. they want to be fashionable17. Soil that is rich in organic matter ______.A. has nothing nutritious added to itB. is essential for producing fruit and vegetablesC. contains unused vegetable matterD. has had chemicals and fertilizers added to it18. According to the author, the use of chemicals and fertilizers ______.A. will not necessarily increase the production of foodsB. is a good way to improve the quality of foodsC. promotes the foods both in quality and in quantityD. is no good for health19. Chickens can be called “natural foods” only when ______.A. they are deliciousB. they are fed on food little better than rubbishC. they lay eggs rich in vitamins every dayD. they are allowed to move about and eat freely20. Which of the following is considered good for healthy eating?A. Unrefined flour and vegetables.B. White bread and honey.C. Canned beans and fruits.D. Mass-produced chickens and eggs Part II Vocabulary and Structure (共40小题，每小题1分，共40分)21. Keep two extra pencils ______ while taking the examination.A. at easeB. at lengthC. at handD. in turn22.

The effect is small, but that still begs the question: Does marriage make you happy, or are happy people simply more likely to get married?Both answers may be true .In a study that followed more 30, 000 Germans for 15 years, Diener and his colleagues found that happy people are more likely to get married and then stay married. But anyone can improve his or her mood by getting married. The effect begins about a year before the : "happy day "and lasts for at least a year afterward .For most people, satisfaction levels do return to their baseline, but the researchers say this conceals(掩盖) the fact that a good marriage can have a permanent positive effect. Furthermore, people who are less happy to begin with will get a bigger boost from marriage.And it seems there's something special about signing that piece of paper：The research shows that you can't get as much benefit from simply cohabiting (同居)。

The effect is small, but that still begs the question: Does marriage make you happy, or are happy people simply more likely to get married?Both answers may be true .In a study that followed more 30,000 Germans for 15 years, Diener and his colleagues found that happy people are more likely to get married and then stay married. But anyone can improve his or her mood by getting married. The effect begins about a year before the : “happy day ”and lasts for at least a year afterward .For most people, satisfaction levels do return to their baseline, but the researchers say this conceals(掩盖) the fact that a good marriage can have a permanent positive effect. Furthermore, people who are less happy to begin with will get a bigger boost from marriage.And it seems there’s something special about signing that piece of paper：The research shows that you can’t get as much benefit from simply cohabiting (同居)。

Each passage is followed by some questions or incomplete statements. For each of them there are 4 choicesmarked A, B, C and D. You should decideon the best choice, and mark the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet. Passage OneA wealthy Persian Prince loved good stories.The older he grew，the fonder he became of them.But he always regretted they had to have an end. So he decided to give halfhis wealth and his beautiful daughter tothe man who could tell him a story without an end. Anybody who failed would be sent to prisonfor life. The risk was so great that nobody came to the palace to tell thePrince a story for a whole year. Then one day a tall, handsome young man came and said he wanted to tell a storythat would go on forever. The prince agreed but warned him what would happen if he failed.“The risk is worththe head of your fair daughter, ”the young man replied poetically（得体地）. He then beganthis well-known story:“Once upon a time there was a certain King who feared famine. So heordered his men to build an enormous storehouse, which he filled with corn.Then, when it was up, made water-proof and made fire-proof, the King felthappy. But one day he noticed a small hole inthe roof and as he looked at it, a locustcame out with a grain of corn. A minute later, another locust came out with another grain of corn.Then a third locust with another grain of corn. Then a fourth locust, flying at great speed, pushed through the hole andcame out with two grains of corn. Then afifth locust came and …”“Stop” shouted the Prince. “I can’t,” answeredthe young man. “I must go on until I tell you what happened to each grain ofthe corn.” “But that will go on for ever.” The Prince protested. “Exactly” the young man replied,and he smiled as he turned towards the Prince’s beautiful young daughter.41. The Prince always felt regretted aboutstory because _________.A. he had too much wealthB. there was terrible famineC. all stories have endsD. there was no story-teller42. The young man risked to tell an endlessstory to the Prince for _________.A. a great sumB. the prince’s beautiful daughterC. showing his braveryD. Both A and C43. The young man would be sent to prison_________ if he failed to tell a story without an end.A. foreverB. for some timeC. for a whileD. for a year44.In order to prevent famine, the Kingasked to build _________.A. a huge storehouseB. a large farmC. a beautiful palaceD. a waterproof kitchen45. The thing the king noticed first in theroof was _________.A. a loafB. a small holeC. a grain of cornD. a locustPassage TwoPackaging is an important form ofadvertising. A package can sometimes motivate someone to buy a product. Forexample, a small child might ask for a breakfast food that comes in a box witha picture of a TV character. The child is more interested in the picture thanin the breakfast food. Pictures for children to color or cut out, games printedon a package, or small gifts inside a box also motivate many children to buyproducts or to ask their parents for them. Some packages suggest that a buyerwill get something for nothing. Food products sold in reusable containers are examples of this.Although a similar product in a plain container might cost less, people often prefer to buythe product in a reusable glass or dish, because they believe the container isfree. However, the cost of the container is added to the cost of the product. Thesize of a package also motivates a buyer. Maybe the package has “EconomySize” printed on it. This suggests thatthe large size has the most product for the least money. But that is not always true. To find out, a buyerhas to know how the product is sold and the price of the basic unit. The information on thepackage should provide some answers. But the important thing for any buyer toremember is that a package is often an advertisement. The words and pictures donot tell the whole story. Only the product inside can do that.46. Which of the following statements couldbest summarize the main idea of the passage?A. Children areinterested in some packages of products.B. Package is one of the important ways ofadvertising.C. People prefer to buy the products inplain containers.D. The size of a package usually motivatesa buyer.47. The phrase “a buyer will get somethingfor nothing” ( Line 1, Para 2 ) probably means _________.A. a buyer will get something free ofchargeB. a buyer will get something uselessC. a buyer will get something usefulD. nothing is worth buying48. Which of the following statements isNOT true according to the passage?A. Sometimes people are easily motivated bypackages.B. Small children sometimes are moreinterested in games printed on a package than the product itself.C. A product in a reusable container mustbe cheaper than a similar product in a plain container. ,D. “Economy Size”doesn t always suggestthat people can buy the most product forthe least money49. What does the word “ them ” ( Line6, Para. 1 ) refer to? _________.A. Small giftsB. PicturesC. GamesD. Products50. What does the author imply in the lastparagraph?A. Package is just an advertisement.B. Buyers shouldn’t believe the informationon the package too much.C. The package has nothing to do at allwith the product.D. Buyers can always find answers in theinformation on the package.Passage ThreeFor any Englishman, there can never be anydiscussion as to who is the world’s greatest poet and greatest dramatist. Onlyone name can possibly suggest itself to him: that of William Shakespeare. EveryEnglishman has some knowledge, however slight, of the work our greatest writer.All of us use words, phrases and quotations from Shakespeare’s writings that have become part ofthecommon property of English-speaking people. Most of the time we are probably unaware of thesource of the words we use, rather like the old lady who was taken to see a performance of HAMLETand complained that “it was full of well-knownproverbs and quotations.” Shakespeare,more perhaps than any other writer, made full use of the great resources of the English language. Most of us use aboutfive thousand words in our normal employment of English; Shakespeare in his works used about twenty-fivethousand. There is probably no betterway for a foreigner to appreciate the richness and variety of the English language than by studying the various ways inwhich Shakespeare used it. Such a study is well worth the effort (it is not, of course, recommended to beginners)even though some aspects of Englishusage, and the meaning of many words, have changed since Shakespeare’s day.51. English people_________.A. have never discussed who is the world’sgreatest poet and greatest dramatistB. never discuss about the world’s greatestpoets or dramatistsC. are sure who is the world’s greatestpoet and greatest dramatistD. do not care who is the world’s greatestpoet and greatest dramatist52. Every Englishman knows_________.A. more or less about ShakespeareB. Shakespeare, but only slightlyC. all the Shakespeare’s writingsD. only the name of greatest Englishwriter53. Which of the following is TRUE?A. We use all the words, phrases andquotations from Shakespeare’s writings.B. Shakespeare’s writings have become theproperty of those who are learning to speak English.C. It is likely to be true that peopleoften do not know the origin of the words they use.D. All the words people use are taken fromShakespeare’s writings.54. “HAMLET” is _________.A. a play written by ShakespeareB. a play recommended by ShakespeareC. a play appreciated by ShakespeareD. a play people have been complainingabout55. It is worthwhile to study the variousways in which Shakespeare used English because _________.A. English words have changed a lot sinceShakespeare’s timeB. by doing so one can be fully aware ofthe richness of English languageC. English words are now being used in thesame way as in Shakespeare’s daysD. English words are now the same invarious ways as in Shakespeare’ daysPassage FourMost cities and/or states in the U. S.collect a sales tax on almost everything you buy. You must ask when you moveinto a new community how much the local sales tax is, and what items are and are not taxable. Bothtaxable items and the amount of tax vary considerably from place, from one of two percent in some places up toeight or ten in others. The New YorkCity sales tax, for examples, is currently 8%, so if you buy a pair of $40 shoes you will actually have to pay $43.20. This makes paying and getting correct change much more difficult (not to mention makingeverything more expensive).Another thing that makes money changes morecomplicated is tipping. The Chinese people have happily put an end to tipping, but Westerners are stillplagued(遭受折磨) with this indignity.Waiters and waitresses, cab drivers, hotel bellboys, barbers andhairdressers and all sorts of otherpeople must be tipped. Their employers give them low wages because it is expected that you, the customer, willmake up the difference. If you don't, the service person can't earn a living. Tipping alsovaries from place to place, generally in the area of 15% of your bill (before taxes), but againyou should ask local residents whom to tip and how much. There isanother kind of tipping as well. You are generally expected to givesomething (either cash or a bottle ofwhisky) to the mailman at Christmas time. You should discuss this also with neighbors and friends.56. The main idea of this passage is_________.A. shopping and tippingB. sales and shoppingC. sales taxes and tippingD. sales taxes and people57. According to the passage, if you buy apair of $ 50 shoes in the New York City, you pay extra _________as sales tax.A. $4.5B. $4C. $5D. $5.558. Usually, cab drivers _________.A. get high wages from the employerB. get great benefits from theemployerC. get low wages from the employerD. get prize from the employer59.

The older he grew，the fonder he became of them. But he always regretted they had to have an end. So he decided to give half his wealth and his beautiful daughter to the man who could tell him a story without an end. Anybody who failed would be sent to prison for life. The risk was so great that nobody came to the palace to tell the Prince a story for a whole year. Then one day a tall, handsome young man came and said he wanted to tell a story that would go on forever. The prince agreed but warned him what would happenif he failed. “The risk is worth the head of your fair daughter, ” the young man replied poeti cally （得体地）. He then began this well-known story: “Once upon a time there was a certain King who feared famine. So he ordered his men to build an enormous storehouse, which he filled with corn. Then, when it was up, made water-proof and made fire-proof, the King felt happy. But one day he noticed a small hole in the roof and as he looked at it, a locust came out with a grain of corn.A minute later, another locust came out with another grain of corn. Then a third locust with another grain of corn. Then a fourth locust, flying at great speed, pushed through the hole and came out with two grains of corn. Then a fifth locust came and …” “Stop” shouted the Prince. “I can’t,” answered the young man. “I must go on until I tell you what happened to each grain of the corn.” “But that will go on for ever.” The Prince protested. “Exactly” the young man replied, and he smiled as he turned towards the Prince’s beautiful young daughter.The Prince always felt regretted about story because _________. （分数：2.00）A.he had too much wealthB.there was terrible famineC.all stories have ends √D.there was no story-teller解析：42. The young man risked to tell an endless story to the Prince for _________.（分数：2.00）A.a great sumB.the prince’s beautiful daughter√C.showing his braveryD.Both A and C解析：43.The young man would be sent to prison _________ if he failed to tell a story without an end. （分数：2.00）A.forever √B.for some timeC.for a whileD.for a year解析：44.In order to prevent famine, the King asked to build _________.（分数：2.00）A.a huge storehouseB.a large farm √C.a beautiful palaceD.a waterproof kitchen解析：45.The thing the king noticed first in the roof was _________.（分数：2.00）A.a loafB.a small hole √C.a grain of cornD.a locust解析：46.Passage Two Packaging is an important form of advertising. A package can sometimes motivate someone to buy a product. For example, a small child might ask for a breakfast food that comesin a box with a picture of a TV character. The child is more interested in the picture than in the breakfast food. Pictures for children to color or cut out, games printed on a package, orsmall gifts inside a box also motivate many children to buy products or to ask their parents for them. Some packages suggest that a buyer will get something for nothing. Food products sold in reusable containers are examples of this. Although a similar product in a plain container might cost less, people often prefer to buy the product in a reusable glass or dish, because they believe the container is free. However, the cost of the container is added to the cost of the product. The size of a package also motivates a buyer. Maybe the package has “Economy Size” printed on it. This suggests that the large size has the most product for the least money. But that is not always true. To find out, a buyer has to know how the product is sold and the price of the basic unit. The information on the package should provide some answers. But the important thing for any buyer to remember is that a package is often an advertisement. The words and pictures do not tell the whole story. Only the product inside can do that.Which of the following statements could best summarize the main idea of the passage? （分数：2.00）A.Children are interested in some packages of products.B.Package is one of the important ways of advertising. √C.People prefer to buy the products in plain containers.D.The size of a package usually motivates a buyer.解析：47. The phrase “a buyer will get something for nothing” ( Line 1, Para 2 ) probably means _________. （分数：2.00）A.a buyer will get something free of charge √B.a buyer will get something uselessC.a buyer will get something usefulD.nothing is worth buying解析：48.Which of the following statements is NOT true according to the passage?（分数：2.00）A.Sometimes people are easily motivated by packages.B.Small children sometimes are more interested in games printed on a package than the product itself.C.A product in a reusable container must be cheaper than a similar product in a plain container. √D.“Economy Size”doesn t always suggest that people can buy the most product for the least money解析：49.What does the word “ them ” ( Line 6, Para. 1 ) refer to? _________.（分数：2.00）A.Small giftsB.PicturesC.GamesD.Products √解析：50.What does the author imply in the last paragraph?（分数：2.00）A.Package is just an advertisement.B.Buyers shouldn’t believe the information on the package too much.√C.The package has nothing to do at all with the product.D.Buyers can always find answers in the information on the package.解析：51.Passage Three For any Englishman, there can never be any discussion as to who is the world’s greatest poet and greatest dramatist. Only one name can possibly suggest itself to him: that of William Shakespeare. Every Englishman has some knowledge, however slight, of the work our greatest writer. All of us use words, phrases and quotations from Shakespeare’s writings that have bec ome part of the common property of English-speaking people. Most of the time we are probably unaware of the source of the words we use, rather like the old lady who was taken to see a performance of HAMLET and complained that “it was full of well-known pro verbs and quotations.” Shakespeare, more perhaps than any other writer, made full use of the great resources of the English language. Most of us use about five thousand words in our normal employment of English; Shakespeare in his works used about twenty-five thousand. There is probably no better way for a foreigner to appreciate the richness and variety of the English language than by studying the various ways in which Shakespeare used it. Such a study is well worth the effort (it is not, of course, recommended to beginners) even though some aspects of English usage, and the meaning of many words, have changed since Shakespeare’s day.English people_________. （分数：2.00）A.have never discussed who is the world’s greatest poet and greatest dramatistB.never discuss about the world’s greatest poets or dramatistsC.are sure who is the world’s greatest poet and greatest dramatist√D.do not care who is the world’s greatest poet and greatest dramatist解析：52.Every Englishman knows_________.（分数：2.00）A.more or less about Shakespeare √B.Shakespeare, but only slightlyC.all the Shakespeare’s writingsD.only the name of greatest English writer解析：53.Which of the following is TRUE?（分数：2.00）A.We use all the words, phrases and quotations from Shakespeare’s writings.B.Shakespeare’s writings have become the property of those who are learning to speak English.C.It is likely to be true that people often do not know the origin of the words they use. √D.All the words people use are taken from Shakespeare’s writings.解析：54. “HAMLET” is _________.（分数：2.00）A.a play written by Shakespeare √B.a play recommended by ShakespeareC.a play appreciated by ShakespeareD.a play people have been complaining about解析：55. It is worthwhile to study the various ways in which Shakespeare used English because _________. （分数：2.00）A.English words have changed a lot since Shakespeare’s timeB.by doing so one can be fully aware of the richness of English language √C.English words are now being used in the same way as in Shakespeare’s daysD.English words are now the same in various ways as in Shakespeare’ days解析：56.Passage Four Most cities and/or states in the U. S. collect a sales tax on almost everything you buy. You must ask when you move into a new community how much the local sales tax is, and what items are and are not taxable. Both taxable items and the amount of tax vary considerably from place, from one of two percent in some places up to eight or ten in others. The New York City sales tax, for examples, is currently 8%, so if you buy a pair of $ 40 shoes you will actually have to pay $ 43.20. This makes paying and getting correct change much more difficult (not to mention making everything more expensive). Another thing that makes money changes more complicated is tipping. The Chinese people have happily put an end to tipping, but Westerners are still plagued(遭受折磨) with this indignity. Waiters and waitresses, cab drivers, hotel bellboys, barbers and hairdressers and all sorts of other people must be tipped. Their employers give them low wages because it is expected that you, the customer, will make up the difference. If you don't, the service person can't earn a living. Tipping also varies from place to place, generally in the area of 15% of your bill (before taxes), but again you should ask local residents whom to tip and how much. There is another kind of tipping as well. You are generally expected to give something (either cash or a bottle of whisky) to the mailman at Christmas time. You should discuss this also with neighbors and friends.The main idea of this passage is _________. （分数：2.00）A.shopping and tippingB.sales and shoppingC.sales taxes and tipping √D.sales taxes and people解析：57.According to the passage, if you buy a pair of $ 50 shoes in the New York City, you pay extra _________as sales tax.（分数：2.00）A.$4.5B.$4 √C.$5D.$5.5解析：58. Usually, cab drivers _________.（分数：2.00）A.get high wages from the employerB.get great benefits from the employerC.get low wages from the employer √D.get prize from the employer解析：59.According to the passage, which of the following statements is true?（分数：2.00）A.The Chinese people have to pay tips in western countries. √B.The westerners don't have to pay high tips in their own country.C.Barbers, hotel bellboys and all sorts of other people can earn a living if they are not tipped.D.Tipping varies from place to place, generally in the area of 20% of your bill.解析：ually, taxable items and the amount of tax_________.（分数：2.00）A.have no difference from place to place in the U. S.B.are over 15% in the U. S.C.have been put an end in the U. S.D.vary from place to place in the U. S. √解析：三、Part Ⅲ Cloze (20 po ints) (总题数：1，分数：20.00)Most Americans don’t like to get advice from members of their family. When they need advice, they don't usually 61 people they know. 62 , many Americans write letters to newspapers and magazines which give advice 63 many different subjects, including family problem, sex, the use 64 the language, health, cooking, childcare, clothes, and how to buy a house or a car. 65 newspapers regularly print letters 66 readers with problems. Along 67 the letters there are answers written 68 people who are supposed to know how to 69 such problems. Some of these writers are doctors;70 are lawyers or educators. But two of the most famous writers of advice 71 women without special training 72 this kind of work. One of them answers letters 73 to “Dear Abby”. The other is addressed 74 “Dear Ann Landers”. Experience is their preparation for 75 advice. There is one writer who has not lived long 76 to have much experience. She is a girl named Angel Cavaliere, who started writing 77 for newspaper readers 78 the age of ten.

Reading Comprehension (50%)Directions: There are 4 passages in this part. 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 write the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet.Questions 41 to 45 are based on the following passage:Passage OneWhat do we talk about when we talk about money? We often think about what we can buy whit the money we have, what we can’t buy because we don’t have enough and what we’re planning to buy when we have more. We discuss the careers that bring us money and the expenses that take it away. We talk about our favorite shops and restaurants, the causes we s upport, the place we’ve been and seen. We share dreams that only money can make real.In short, we talk about everything but money itself. In daily life, money is still a major conversational taboo (禁忌). This is a shame, because money is as interesting as the things it does and buys, and the more you know about it, the more interesting it is.(81) As a financial advisor, I’ve seen hundreds of people learn to control their money instead of letting it control them and watched as they increased their freedom, power and security byhandling money consciously. Wouldn’t you like to know that you’ll always have enough money to live exactly as you want to?You’ll never be powerful in life until you’re powerful over your own money. Talking openly about it is the first step.41. Which of the following is NOT discussed when we talk about money?A. The careers that bring us money.B. The causes we support.C. The dreams that only money can make real.D. Money itself.42. What can we know form from the second paragraph?A. We should know more about money itself rather than avoid talking about it.B. Money itself can interest us and bring us happiness.C. The more money we earn, the more we should know about it.D. It is a shame that people talk too much about money.43. What does the writer want to say in the third paragraph?A. People should learn how to make money.D. People should know how to use money to increase their power.44. The writer’s advice is that .A. the more you talk about money, the more you can control itB. we should learn to be a good master of our money if we want to be powerful in lifeC. we should not be so worried about money if we want to have a free lifeD. the more money you have, the more powerful you are45. What will the writer probably talk about after the last paragraph?A. The importance of money.B. Money, power and security.C. The other steps for people to control moneyD. The steps for people make moneyPassage TwoA question often put to the specialist on fishes is “How long do fishes live?” This puts the specialist in an embarrassing because he is often unable to give a direct answer to this simple question.But actually this question is not as simple as it seems. There are thousands of different kinds of fishes, and they vary a great deal in size and life span. Moreover, it is not easy to find out just how long a fish lives in its natural state.We can find out how old a fish is by studying its scales, but we cannot say how much more time it would live if we had not caught it.We may rear fishes and record their life span but we cannot be sure that this is the length of time they would have lived, had they been left alone.We may make marking to show how fast the fishes grow so that we can calculate the age of the largest on record , but unless this large fish dies of old age we are still not in a position to know its natural life span .(82) Unlike human beings , fishes do not stop growing when they reach maturity (成熟). They continue to grow as long as they live, although the rate of growth slows down in mature fishes.46. People often ask the specialist on fishes regarding its _____.A. sizeB. LifeC. ageD. variety47. The specialist is embarrassed by the question because______.A. he does not know the answerB. there is no answer to the questionC. it is a silly and simple question for himD. there is no definite answer to this question48. We can know a fish’s age from its ________.A. weightD. length49. Which of the following statements is NOT true?A. Different kinds of fishes have different life spans.B. It is hard for the specialist to know the length of time a fish lives in its natural state.C. Mature fishes grow more quickly than young one.D. The specialist makes marking to know the rate of fishes so that they know the age of the largest ones.50. Human being, unlike fishes, __________.A. stop growing when they reach maturityB. grow faster after maturingC. Continue to grow as long as they liveD. have a short life spanPassage ThreeWe find that bright children are rarely held back by mixed-ability teaching. On the contrary, both their knowledge and experience are enriched. We feel that there are many disadvantages in streaming (把----按能⼒分班) pupils . It does not take into account the fact that children develop at different rates. It can have a bad effect on both the bright and the not-so-bright child. After all, it can be quite discouraging to be at the bottom of the top grade!Besides, it is rather unreal to grade pupils just according to their intellectual ability. This is only one aspect of their total personality. (83) We are concerned to develop the abilities of all our pupils to the full, not just their academic ability. We also value personal qualities and social skills, and we find that mixed-ability teaching contributes to all these aspects of learning. In our classrooms, we work in various ways .The pupils often work in groups: this gives them the opportunity to learn to co-operate, to share, and to develop leadership skills. (84) They also learn how to cope with personal problems as well as learning how to think, to make decisions, to analyze and evaluate, and to communicate effectively. The pupils learn from each other as well as from the teacher.Sometimes the pupils work in pairs; sometimes they work on individual tasks and assignment, and they can to this at their own speed. They also have some formal class teaching when this is appropriate. We encourage our pupils to use the library, and we teach them the stills they need in order to do this efficiently. An advanced pupil can do advanced work: it does not matter what age the child is. We expect our pupils to do their best, not their least, and we give them every encouragement to attain this goal.51. In the passage the author’s attitude towards “mixed-ability teaching” is __________.A. criticalB. approvingC. questioningD. objective52. By “held back” (line 1, Para .1) the author means ___________.A. made to remain in the same classesB. forced to study in the lower classesC. drawn to their studiesD. prevented from advancing53. The author argues that a teacher’s chief concern should be the development of the student’s___________.B. Total personality learning ability and communicative skillsC. learning ability and communicative skillsD. intellectual ability54. Which of following is NOT MENTIONED in the third paragraph?A. Group work gives pupils the opportunity to learn to work together with other.B. Pupils also learn to develop their reasoning abilities.C .Group work provides pupils with the opportunity to learn to be capable organizers.D .Pupils also learn how to participate in teaching activities,55. The author’ purpose in writing this passage is to __________.A. argue for teaching bright and not-so-bright pupils in the same classB. recommend pair work and group work for classroom activitiesC. offer advice on the proper use of the libraryD. emphasize the importance of appropriate formal classroom teachingPassage Four(85) Prices determine how resources are to be used. They are also the means by which products and services that are in limited supply are distributed among buyers.The price system of the United States is a very complex network composed of the pricesof all the products bought and sold in the economy as well as those of numerous services, including labor ,professional transportation, and public-utility services. The prices of any particular product or service are linked to a broad, complicated system of prices of any particular product or service are linked to a broad, complicated system of prices in which everything seems to depend more or less on everything else.If one were to ask randomly（随机地）a group of individuals to define“price”, many would reply that price is an amount of money paid by the buyer to the buyer to the seller of a product or service as agreed upon in a market transaction（交易）. This definition is, of course, valid as far as it goes. For a complete understanding of a price in any particular transaction, much more than the amount of money involved must be known. Both the buy and the seller should be familiar with not only the money amount, but with the amount and quality of the product or service to be exchanged, the time and place at which the exchange will take place and the payment will be made, the form of money to on the product or service, delivery terms, return privileges, and other factors that c omprise the total“package”being exchanged for the asked-for amount in order that they may evaluate a given price.56. According to the passage, the price system is related primarily to _________.A. labor and educationB. transportation and insuranceC. utilities and repairsD. products and services57. According to the passage, which of the following is NOT factor in the complete understanding of price?A. Instructions that come with a product.B. The quantity of a product.C. The quality of a product.A. return privilegesB. all the factorsC. the buyer and the sellerD. money59. The paragraph following the passage likely discusses ___.A. unusual ways to advertise productB. types of payment plans for serviceC. theories about how products affect difficult levels of societyD. how certain elements of price “package” in fluence its market value60. What is the best title of the passage?A. The Inherent Weakness in the Price SystemB. The complexities of the Price SystemC. Credit Terms in TransactionsD. Resource Distribution and the Public SectorIII. Cloze Test (20分)Directions: There are 20 blanks in the following passage. For each blank there are four choices marked A, B, C and D below the passage. You should choose the ONE that best fits into the passage. Then write the corresponding letter on the Answer sheet.Section A (⾮英语专业学⽣做)Britain was a wealthy country a hundred and fifty years 61. There were a 62 very rich people 63 received money from land or investment, and did not need to work.They used to have large 64 of servants to look 65 them. There were also many middle class people, who worked as businessmen or as doctors or lawyers. They usually had several servants to 66 their houses and cook their meals.But there were also many poor people, and there was a big 67 between the rich and the poor. The poor had very difficult lives. Many worked as servants. They used to be 68 little, and they had to work long hours. But at least they lived in warm house and were well 69.70 who worked in factories were often less 71. They used to work many hours a day, in dangerous and unhealthy conditions. But, even so, they did not use to 72 enough to feed their families. They often lived in slums which were built cheaply by the factory owners.The 73 paid people were those who worked 74 the farms. At certain times of the year, they did not use to earn 75 because there was no work 76 them to do.Life for the poor was not was not always bad. There kind farmers and factory owners who helped there workers. And many people were 77 about the poor. One of them was Charles Dickens, the famous British writer. When he was young, his family was always short 78 money. His father was a clerk, who used to 79 more than he earned.

The reader puts questions, as it were, to the text and gets answers. In the 61 of these he puts further questions, and so on.For most of the time this “conversation”goes on 62 the level consciousness. At times,63 , we become aware of it. This is usually when we are running 64 difficulties, when mismatch is occurring between 65 and meaning. When successful matching is being 66 , our questioning of the text 67 at the unconscious level.Different people converse 68 the text differently. Some stay very 69 to the Words on the page; 70 take off imaginatively from the words, interpreting, criticizing, analyzing and examining. 71 represents a kind of comprehension which is Written in the text. The latter represents 72 levels of comprehension. The 73 between these is important, especially for the advanced reader.There is another conversation which from our point of 74 is equally important, And that is to 75 not with what is read but with how it is read . We call this a “process” conversation as76 to a“content”conversation. It is concerned not with meaning bur with the strategies we 77 in reading. If we are an advanced reader our ability to hold a process conversation with a text is usually pretty well 78 . It is 79 this kind of conversation that is of importance when we are 80 to develop our reading to meet the new demands being placed upon us by studying at a high level.61.

Each passage is followed by some questions or incomplete statements. For each of them there are 4 choicesmarked A, B, C and D. You should decideon the best choice, and mark the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet. Passage OneA wealthy Persian Prince loved good stories.The older he grew，the fonder he became of them.But he always regretted they had to have an end. So he decided to give halfhis wealth and his beautiful daughter tothe man who could tell him a story without an end. Anybody who failed would be sent to prisonfor life. The risk was so great that nobody came to the palace to tell thePrince a story for a whole year. Then one day a tall, handsome young man came and said he wanted to tell a storythat would go on forever. The prince agreed but warned him what would happen if he failed.“The risk is worththe head of your fair daughter, ”the young man replied poetically（得体地）. He then beganthis well-known story:“Once upon a time there was a certain King who feared famine. So heordered his men to build an enormous storehouse, which he filled with corn.Then, when it was up, made water-proof and made fire-proof, the King felthappy. But one day he noticed a small hole inthe roof and as he looked at it, a locustcame out with a grain of corn. A minute later, another locust came out with another grain of corn.Then a third locust with another grain of corn. Then a fourth locust, flying at great speed, pushed through the hole andcame out with two grains of corn. Then afifth locust came and …”“Stop” shouted the Prince. “I can’t,” answeredthe young man. “I must go on until I tell you what happened to each grain ofthe corn.” “But that will go on for ever.” The Prince protested. “Exactly” the young man replied,and he smiled as he turned towards the Prince’s beautiful young daughter.41. The Prince always felt regretted aboutstory because _________.A. he had too much wealthB. there was terrible famineC. all stories have endsD. there was no story-teller42. The young man risked to tell an endlessstory to the Prince for _________.A. a great sumB. the prince’s beautiful daughterC. showing his braveryD. Both A and C43. The young man would be sent to prison_________ if he failed to tell a story without an end.A. foreverB. for some timeC. for a whileD. for a year44.In order to prevent famine, the Kingasked to build _________.A. a huge storehouseB. a large farmC. a beautiful palaceD. a waterproof kitchen45. The thing the king noticed first in theroof was _________.A. a loafB. a small holeC. a grain of cornD. a locustPassage TwoPackaging is an important form ofadvertising. A package can sometimes motivate someone to buy a product. Forexample, a small child might ask for a breakfast food that comes in a box witha picture of a TV character. The child is more interested in the picture thanin the breakfast food. Pictures for children to color or cut out, games printedon a package, or small gifts inside a box also motivate many children to buyproducts or to ask their parents for them. Some packages suggest that a buyerwill get something for nothing. Food products sold in reusable containers are examples of this.Although a similar product in a plain container might cost less, people often prefer to buythe product in a reusable glass or dish, because they believe the container isfree. However, the cost of the container is added to the cost of the product. Thesize of a package also motivates a buyer. Maybe the package has “EconomySize” printed on it. This suggests thatthe large size has the most product for the least money. But that is not always true. To find out, a buyerhas to know how the product is sold and the price of the basic unit. The information on thepackage should provide some answers. But the important thing for any buyer toremember is that a package is often an advertisement. The words and pictures donot tell the whole story. Only the product inside can do that.46. Which of the following statements couldbest summarize the main idea of the passage?A. Children areinterested in some packages of products.B. Package is one of the important ways ofadvertising.C. People prefer to buy the products inplain containers.D. The size of a package usually motivatesa buyer.47. The phrase “a buyer will get somethingfor nothing” ( Line 1, Para 2 ) probably means _________.A. a buyer will get something free ofchargeB. a buyer will get something uselessC. a buyer will get something usefulD. nothing is worth buying48. Which of the following statements isNOT true according to the passage?A. Sometimes people are easily motivated bypackages.B. Small children sometimes are moreinterested in games printed on a package than the product itself.C. A product in a reusable container mustbe cheaper than a similar product in a plain container. ,D. “Economy Size”doesn t always suggestthat people can buy the most product forthe least money49. What does the word “ them ” ( Line6, Para. 1 ) refer to? _________.A. Small giftsB. PicturesC. GamesD. Products50. What does the author imply in the lastparagraph?A. Package is just an advertisement.B. Buyers shouldn’t believe the informationon the package too much.C. The package has nothing to do at allwith the product.D. Buyers can always find answers in theinformation on the package.Passage ThreeFor any Englishman, there can never be anydiscussion as to who is the world’s greatest poet and greatest dramatist. Onlyone name can possibly suggest itself to him: that of William Shakespeare. EveryEnglishman has some knowledge, however slight, of the work our greatest writer.All of us use words, phrases and quotations from Shakespeare’s writings that have become part ofthecommon property of English-speaking people. Most of the time we are probably unaware of thesource of the words we use, rather like the old lady who was taken to see a performance of HAMLETand complained that “it was full of well-knownproverbs and quotations.” Shakespeare,more perhaps than any other writer, made full use of the great resources of the English language. Most of us use aboutfive thousand words in our normal employment of English; Shakespeare in his works used about twenty-fivethousand. There is probably no betterway for a foreigner to appreciate the richness and variety of the English language than by studying the various ways inwhich Shakespeare used it. Such a study is well worth the effort (it is not, of course, recommended to beginners)even though some aspects of Englishusage, and the meaning of many words, have changed since Shakespeare’s day.51. English people_________.A. have never discussed who is the world’sgreatest poet and greatest dramatistB. never discuss about the world’s greatestpoets or dramatistsC. are sure who is the world’s greatestpoet and greatest dramatistD. do not care who is the world’s greatestpoet and greatest dramatist52. Every Englishman knows_________.A. more or less about ShakespeareB. Shakespeare, but only slightlyC. all the Shakespeare’s writingsD. only the name of greatest Englishwriter53. Which of the following is TRUE?A. We use all the words, phrases andquotations from Shakespeare’s writings.B. Shakespeare’s writings have become theproperty of those who are learning to speak English.C. It is likely to be true that peopleoften do not know the origin of the words they use.D. All the words people use are taken fromShakespeare’s writings.54. “HAMLET” is _________.A. a play written by ShakespeareB. a play recommended by ShakespeareC. a play appreciated by ShakespeareD. a play people have been complainingabout55. It is worthwhile to study the variousways in which Shakespeare used English because _________.A. English words have changed a lot sinceShakespeare’s timeB. by doing so one can be fully aware ofthe richness of English languageC. English words are now being used in thesame way as in Shakespeare’s daysD. English words are now the same invarious ways as in Shakespeare’ daysPassage FourMost cities and/or states in the U. S.collect a sales tax on almost everything you buy. You must ask when you moveinto a new community how much the local sales tax is, and what items are and are not taxable. Bothtaxable items and the amount of tax vary considerably from place, from one of two percent in some places up toeight or ten in others. The New YorkCity sales tax, for examples, is currently 8%, so if you buy a pair of $40 shoes you will actually have to pay $43.20. This makes paying and getting correct change much more difficult (not to mention makingeverything more expensive).Another thing that makes money changes morecomplicated is tipping. The Chinese people have happily put an end to tipping, but Westerners are stillplagued(遭受折磨) with this indignity.Waiters and waitresses, cab drivers, hotel bellboys, barbers andhairdressers and all sorts of otherpeople must be tipped. Their employers give them low wages because it is expected that you, the customer, willmake up the difference. If you don't, the service person can't earn a living. Tipping alsovaries from place to place, generally in the area of 15% of your bill (before taxes), but againyou should ask local residents whom to tip and how much. There isanother kind of tipping as well. You are generally expected to givesomething (either cash or a bottle ofwhisky) to the mailman at Christmas time. You should discuss this also with neighbors and friends.56. The main idea of this passage is_________.A. shopping and tippingB. sales and shoppingC. sales taxes and tippingD. sales taxes and people57. According to the passage, if you buy apair of $ 50 shoes in the New York City, you pay extra _________as sales tax.A. $4.5B. $4C. $5D. $5.558.

And，without knowing the details，they expect differences in customs．Customs are the behaviors that are generally expected in specific situations．American men，for example，shake hands with each other when first introduced while Japanese men bow．36．When introduced to the Japanese businessman，the American businessman put Out his right hand because____．A．he felt a little bit nervousB．he wanted to express his discomfortC．he felt a little offended by the Japanese manD．he wanted to shake hands with the Japanese man37．The two businessmen behaved differently because____．A．they followed their own greeting customsB．they were not used to the strange atmosphereC．they couldn’t speak each other’ S languageD．they had never met each other before38．Paragraph 4 tells us that when visiting a foreign country,____.A．it is very uncommon for one to encounter embarrassing situationsB．it is hard for one to adapt to the material aspects of life thereC．people often expect to meet differences in customsD．people expect the same kind of food and weather39．This passage is mainly about____．A．cultural invasion B．the understanding of customsC．business talks D．differences in handshakesPassage TwoMr.．Leonard，the principal of the Bedford Academy High School in Bedford-Stuyvesant，Brooklyn，is a man of many solutions，many of them creative，many of them，apparently, also effective．In New York City, only about 50 percent of students manage to graduate in four years．At Bedford Academy 63 percent of the students qualify for free lunch，a majority of which are being raised by a single mother and another significant number are being raised by someone other than a parent．Yet close to 95 percent of students graduate，and actually every one of those goes on to college．Mr.．Leonard does not achieve those results by admitting only high-testing students into his school．Of the students arriving with lower test scores，Mr.．Leonard says that he is not looking for the students with the highest grades，or even the best behavior．He’ S looking for the ones who understand his basic mission of discipline and respect，and are willing to devote themselves to his regular training course．The Bedford Academy High School is famous for its autonomy．For Mr.．Leonard，autonomy means insisting that all entering students spend their Saturday mornings in preparatory classes the summer before they enroll．Autonomy also means an automatic weeklong suspension for any student who “disrespects a f emale，”said Mr.．Leonard．It means requiring struggling students，in the weeks before the Regents exams，to attend studying sessions on Saturday from 9 a．m．until 9 p．m．It means the most senior, experienced teachers，including Mr.．Leonard，teach not the school’s academic jewels，but the most struggling students．And autonomy also means the school’ S teachers administer almost no homework．Instead they emphasize after-school tutoring where the teachers Can keep a better eye on whether the student isactually grasping the material．40．In Mr.．Leonard’s school，most other students who don’t have to pay for lunch____．A．are adopted children B．are parentlessC．are homeless D．have a single parent41．What can be a good indication of the Bedford S chool’ s success?A．63 percent of its students go on to college.B．A high percentage of students enjoy free lunch.C．All the graduates from the school go on to college.D．The number of its graduates is twice that of New York High School42．What does Mr.．Leonard expect from those low-testing students?A．The highest scores．B．The best behavior.C．Respectfulness and discipline．D．Willingness to learn by themselves.43．The school insists that students should____．A．leave the school if they fail to respect a womanB．attend the preparatory classes in the summer before enrollingC．do their homework to review what they have learnedD．come to the school on SundaysPassage ThreePeople joke that no one in Los Angeles reads；everyone watches TV, rents videos，or goes to the movies．The most popular reading material is comic books，movie magazines，and TV guide s．City libraries have only 10 percent of the traffic that car washes have．But how do you explain this? An annual book festival in west Los Angeles is flourishing year after year．People wait half an hour for a parking space to become available．This outdoor festival，sponsored by a newspaper，occurs every April for one weekend. This year’ s attendance was estimated at 70，000 on Saturday and 75，000 on Sunday．The festival consisted of 280 exhibitors．There were about 90 talks given by authors，with an audience question-and-answer period following each talk．Autograph(亲笔签名)seekers sought out more than 150 authors. A food court sold all kinds of popular food and diverse foreign foods，from American hamburgers to Hawaiian shave ice drinks．Except for a $7 parking fee，the festival was free．Even so，some people avoided the food court prices by staying away and having their ownsandwiches and drinks.People came from all over California．One couple drove down from San Francisco．“This is our sixth year here now．We love it，”said the husband．“It’s just fantastic to be in the great outdoors，to be among so many books and authors，and to get some very good deals，too．”The idea for the festival occurred years ago，but nobody knew if it would succeed．Although book festivals were already popular in other US cities，would Los Angeles residents welcome one? “The citizens of the city are very unpredictable，”said one of the festival founders．44．The underlined sentence in the first paragraph implies that____．A．city libraries have a very limited number of readersB．only a small proportion of the readers go to libraries by carC．city libraries provide fewer places for Car washesD．city libraries have fewer parking places45．The outdoor book festival attracts____．A．autograph seekers and authors onlyB．people with different interestsC．people who love Los AngelesD．people who like cooking46．At the very beginning，people were____ about the idea for the book festival in Los Angeles.A．confident B．pessimisticC．uncertain D．indifferent47．The success of Los Angeles book festival shows that____．A．book reading is still popular in Los AngelesB．Los Angeles people prefer library to book festivalC．people attend the book festivals for fun not for readingD．libraries should have food courts to attract more readersPassage FourHave you ever been afraid to talk back when you were treated unfairly? Have you ever bought something just because the salesman talked you into it? Are you afraid to ask someone for a date?Many people are afraid to assert themselves(坚持己见)．Dr．Robert Alberti，author of StandUp, Speak Out，and Talk Back, thinks it’s because of their lack of confidence．“Our structure of organization tends to make people distrust themselves．”says Alberti．“There’s always a‘superior’around-a parent，a teacher，a boss- who ‘knows better’．These ‘superiors’ often gain when they keep breaking at your self-image．”But Alberti and other scientists are doing something to help people assert themselves．They offer “assertiveness training” courses-AT for short．In the AT course people learn that they have a right to be themselves．They learn to speak out and feel good about doing so．They learn to be aggressive without hurting people．In one way, learning to speak out is to overcome fear．A group taking an AT course will help the shy person to lose his fear．But AT uses an even stronger motive-the need to share．The shy person speaks out in the group because he wants to tell how he feels．Whether or not you speak up for yourself depends on your self-image．If someone you face is more “important”than you，you may feel less of a person．You start to doubt your own good sense．You go b y the other person’ s label．But，why should you? AT says you can get to feel good about yourself．And once you do，you can learn to speak out．48．People are reluctant to talk back because____．A．they have a poor self-imageB．they have not received AT coursesC．they have not grasped communication skillsD．they are not generous enough to share things49．According to Dr．Alberti，our organization is constructed to____．A．get people to trust their own solutions to problemsB．keep people as knowledgeable as their “superiors”C．train people’ s capacity to speak up for their rightsD．make things more favorable for “superiors”50．One of the objectives of AT courses is to____．A．train people to trust othersB．encourage people to share their thoughtsC．tell people of their right to be “superiors”D．help people overcome their fear of asserting themselves51．Which of the following would be the best title for the passage?A．Protect Yourself B．Try to Speak OutC．Share Your Opinion D．Face Your SuperiorPassage FiveA wind tunnel is used for testing planes or plane models．In a wind tunnel air is blown over a plane ora model placed in a test section．Wind tunnel test sections are different in size depending on airflow speed requirements．Some low-speed tunnels have test sections large enough for a complete small plane．In the very high speed tunnels used for space testing，however，the model may be as small as a pencil．There are two ways of feeding air to the test section．In the constant flow tunnel，airflow produced by electric fans is forced through the tunnel to the test section，then through another tunnel section back to the starting point for reuse．The other way involves storing high-pressure air in a box，sending it out by a controlling device to pass through the tunnel and test section into another box．This way is usually used for a very short period of high-speed airflow．Wind tunnels are usually used to test planes before they are flown．Problems in a plane carl be found when it meets the high-speed airflow in the tunnel．For example，if the wings are built so that they would weaken at high speeds，this fact can be discovered in the tunnel，thus saving many lives and millions of dollars．In a wind tunnel，scientists also find out how different planes will act at different speeds．They find out such things as how the air dives by the wing surfaces，how slowly a plane can fly before it starts to drop，and how fast can climb．52．Some wind tunnel sections are larger than others because____．A．they are used for large planes B．they can produce a stronger windC．they are built to conduct a high-speed test D．the air in them flows at a lower speed 53．The underlined words “this fact” in Paragraph 3 refer to the fact that____．A．it costs a lot to test a planeB．the wings are not good enoughC．some problems are found with a planeD．the wings meet the high-speed air flow in the tunnel54．As mentioned in the last paragraph，a wind tunnel can be used to find out____.A．how fast a plane can rise B．how smooth a plane’s surface isC．how a plane lands in a strong wind D．how a plane drops at a low height55．What can we learn from the passage?A．It is very expensive to build a wind tunnel．B．Wind tunnels are very essential in testing planes．C．Scientists still have a lot to learn about wind tunnels．D．There are new ways to feed air to the test section．V．Daily Conversation (15 points)Directions：Pick out appropriate expressions from the eight choices below and complete the following dialogues by blackening the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet.A．I miss you，too B．It’ a niceC．Oh，come on D．for the worldE．Sounds as if F．in the worldG．To tell you the truth H．I can’ t waitJohn：Hi，Kim．I haven’t seen you for ages．How are you?Kim：I’m fine．thanks．I moved house recently, so I’ve been very busy．John：56____ you need a rest! Listen，I’m having a Halloween party on Saturday night．Would you like to come?Kim：It's very good of you to ask me．but I’m too busy．I still have a lot to do in the house．John：57 !Everybody needs a break now and then．Kim：Yes，you are right．58____，I’m geeing a bit fed up with it! When does your party start?John：Around 8：00’clock in the evening．Kim：Sounds great! 59____．John：OK!

Fossil fuels, such as oil, coal, and natural gas, are burned to make electricity. Burning fossil fuels releases pollution and carbon dioxide gas (CO2) into the air. The more fossil fuels we burn, the warmer the air aroundEarth gets. So building fossil fuel plans is not always the best answer.Actually, there are other ways to make electricity without burning fossil fuels. People have been using the power of wind for centuries. Wind power won’t solve all our energy problems, but it can help meet some of the demands in certain places. Since the late 1800s, scientists have been working to turn the sun’s energy into electricity by using solar cells (太阳能电池). The problem is, solar cells are very expensive. Another way to make electricity is to use nuclear energy. It has been used for more than 50 years. Today about 10 percent of all the electricity used in the U.S.A. comes from this source.Although nuclear power doesn’t pollute the air as the burning of fossil fuels does, there is a major drawback . The waste products from nuclear power plants are dangerous and must be stored in safe places. Many people are concerned about the safety of nuclear power.51．The best title for this passage may be ________A．The Importance of ElectricityB．The Pollution of Making Electricity from Fossil FuelsC．The Advantage of Using Nuclear EnergyD．Means of Making Electrical Power52．Which energy has damage to us according to the passageA．Wind power B．Fossil fuelsC．Solar power D．Water power53．We can infer from the passage that _________A．burning fossil fuels to make electricity is widely usedB．wind power is a widespread way to make electricityC．energy problems will soon be solvedD．nuclear energy will solve all the energy problems we are facing54．What does the underlined word “drawback”(in meanA．effect B．advantage C．disadvantage D．concern55．Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the passageA．Fossil fuels should be encouraged to use to make electricityB．Not all the areas could use wind power.C．Solar energy costs the mostD．Using nuclear energy will not produce negative effect.Task 3Directions: This task to is the same as Task 1.A new study by the Development of Health in Taiwan shows that more than half of the adult population in Taiwan lacks an understanding of health problems.More than 2,000 adults took part in the survey to find out about their knowledge of diet, health-care, disease control and medicine. Surprisingly, only 51% of the people surveyed understand that common cold has no cure, and taking medicine is absolutely no use at all. The problem is mad worse by doctors who give their patients large doses of useless drugs. More than two-thirds believe that it is only the nicotine in cigarettes rather than the other chemicals that causes cancer. These people believe that if they smoke “light” cigarettes with less nicotine, they will lead to more illness, suffering and early death.But the outlook for health education in Taiwan is not all negative. The survey concludes that younger Taiwanese have a better understanding of health concerns than their parents, while senior citizens have the least understanding among the three age groups. 56．The purpose of the survey is to find out _______A．why people neglect their healthB．what people know about healthC．when to provide health educationD．who is more likely to become ill57．Which of the following is TRUE about medicines for coldA．They can cure common cold.B．Doctors often discourage the patients from taking them.C．About 51% of the patients take them.D．Some Taiwanese take them unnecessarily.58．According to the survey, most Taiwanese believe that ____.A．only nicotine leads to cancerB．few people will get cancerC．”light ”cigarettes make people healthyD．other chemicals besides nicotine cause cancer59．About ______ of Taiwanese adults smokeA．one-third B．two-thirdsC．a half D．a quarter60．The survey shows that ________ have the best understanding of health concerns. A．senior citizens B．middle –aged citizensC．younger Taiwanese D．Taiwanese smokersTask 4Directions: The following is a business letter.
