Each of the passages is followed by 5 questions or unfinished statements. 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 with a single line through the center.Passage OneThe rich have traditionally passed their wealth on to their children. But an increasing number of billionaires are choosing not to. The reason? They want their children to live on themselves—and not to turn into spoiled successors.Nicola Horlick or “supermum”, a famous British billionaire, owing to fact that she has high-flying jobs and five kids has spent her career making a reported £250m. She now seems determined to throw off large parts of it. She already gives away about 25% of her income each year; she has just revealed, in a report on the state of charity in the city, that she will not be leaving most of the remainder to her children. “I think it is wrong to give too much inherited wealth to children,” Horlick told the report’s authors. “I w ill not be leaving all my wealth to my children because that would just ruin their lives.”She is by no means the first to go public with this conviction. Bill Gates has put an estimated $30bn into the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation. This was supplemented, in 2023, by another $24bn or so from his friend Warren Buffett.Buffett has always been colorful, quotably clear on where he stands. His daughter often tells a story of finding herself without change for a car parking ticket—her father lent her $20, then promptly made her write him a check. “To suggest that the children of the wealthy should be just as wealthy,” he has said, “is like saying the members of America’s 2023 Olympic team should be made up only of the children of the 1980 Olympic team.”Anita Roddick, the late founder of the Body Shop, told her kids that they would not inherit one penny. The money that she made from the company would go into the Body Shop Foundation, which isn’t one of those awful tax shelters, like some in America. It just functions to take themoney and give it away.31.The billionaires mentioned in the passage don’t want toleave much of their wealth to their children because ________.A. they prefer to give their wealth to charityB. they want their business to go on healthilyC. they believe too much wealth will harm their childrenD. they hope their children can make more money themselves32.What do we learn about Nicola Horlick?A.She has already given away about 25% of her wealth.B.She is the first one who declares to give away her wealth.C.She will leave only a small portion of her wealth to her kids.D.She inherited most of her wealth from her parents.33.Buffett distinguishes himself for ________.A.his clear-cut positionB.being strict with his childrenC.his talent in financial managementD.being a giant in the stock market34.According to Buffett’s daughter, her father ________.A.refuses to lend her moneyB.wants her to invest in the Olympic GamesC.never gives her more money than necessaryD.always makes sure that she returns his money35.It is implied in the last paragraph that some foundations are used by the rich to ________.A.provide shelter for the poorB.build good fameC.avoid paying taxD.support their businessPassage TwoIt is football time again. Currently, the qualifying rounds are being played to decide which countries will send teams to the 2023 World Cup. Soccer is becoming more and more popular on a worldwide scale and these qualifying legs are causing much excitement.The game is popular at club level as well. Many fans go every week to support their team, whether the event is a home or away one, hoping to get a result. They all hope an attacking game, with a lot of goals being scored. Obviously, they do not want to see a boring, defensive match where the players are aimlessly passing the ball to each other.Sadly, not all the action always takes place on the ground. All too frequently, there is action in the stands, too. Football supporters, most of whom declare their loyalty by wearing their team’s colours, in the form of shirts, are not known for their quiet behaviour. They are often very noisy,shouting noisy encouragement to their team and singing deafening songs.There is much rivalry between supporters. Mostly, this is good-natured, but trouble can easily arise. Fans get angry if they feel that a referee has made a wrong decision, perhaps giving one of their team a red or yellow card unfairly, or perhaps failing to notice a foul (犯规) committed by a member of the other team.When trouble breaks out in a football crowd, it can be difficult to control. Stadium officials often seat the opposing fans in separate parts of the ground as a precaution against fighting. However, preventing trouble is more difficult outside the ground. In the worst cases, riot police have to be called in.Unfortunately, there are some fans who enjoy this violent aspect of football. These football hooligans (流氓) really enjoy a running battle with the police, and call up other people to throw stones and bottles at them. Theyregard football not as a sport, but as an excuse for troublemaking. Inevitably, their behaviour spoils the reputation of the game.36.The qualifying rounds are played to _______.A.attract soccer fansB.select the best teams for the next roundsC.raise funds for the organizersD.decide which players are the best37.What do the football fans hope to see?A.A home game.B.A defensive game.C.An evenly matched game.D.An exciting game.38.Fans get angry when they think _______.A.the referee is unfairB.their team is losingC.their team is not playing wellD.there is an intentional foul39.Riot police are called in _______.A.to separate the opposing fans inside the groundB.as a precaution against trouble inside the groundC.to stop fighting occurring outside the groundD.as a precaution against fighting outside the ground40.It is implied in the last paragraph that _______.A.football fans enjoy spoiling gamesB.football hooligans are crazy about the gamesC.football can be an excuse for troublemakingD.football has a poor reputationPassage ThreeOur sense of smell, which we normally take for granted, is nowadays being increasingly used for purposes which might surprise us if we were aware of them. Onearea in which smells are created to achieve particular results is marketing. For some time manufacturers have taken advantage of our sense of smell with regard to household goods. Millions of dollars are spent on product research in the hunt for the right smell as it is believed perfume influences the way consumers perceive a brand. In a survey in the United States, when people were asked what was the most important factor in their choice of detergent (洗衣粉), smell was rated highly, above ingredients and price.Now stores are becoming even more direct in their use of smell. The smell of fresh bread in a supermarket tends to encourage people to buy, and people selling their houses are recommended to have coffee being heated when potential buyers arrive. Suddenly smell is becoming big business. One company specializing in the use of smells to attract customers now has many large stores on its own list of customers. They find that when pleasant smells are filtered through a store’s air conditioning system, people tend tospend longer in the store and buy more.Research shows that smells can increase people’s view of the value of a product. In a test, people looked at the same types of shoes in two rooms—one filled with purified air, the other with a smell of mixed flowers. 84% of the people preferred the shoes in the room with the smell of flowers. In fact, many said they would be prepared to pay up to US$10 more for a pair.Smells also have other potential uses. Some companies are experimenting with different smells to produce different effects in their workers according to the time of day. For example, early in the morning they might put the smell of lemon in the air conditioning system to wake people up. In the middle of the morning, when the atmosphere tends to become more tense, the smell of wood could be used to calm people down. Before lunchtime the smell of melting butter would encourage people to go to lunch on time. After lunch, when people often begin to lose concentration, thesmell of mint (薄荷) would increase their alertness.41.Which is the most appropriate title for the passage?A.How to avoid being affected by smellsing smells to influence peopleC.The power of our sense of smellD.New smells in supermarkets42.In the survey, when selecting detergent, people considered smell ________.A.not importantB.as important as priceC.less important than ingredientsD.more important than price43.To attract more customers, some large stores ________.A.employ a company specializing in the use of smellsB.provide free coffee for themC.filter purified air through air conditioningD.decorate themselves with fresh flowers44.The majority of people in the test (Para. 3) preferred ________.A.the smell of shoes to that of flowersB.the smell of flowers to that of shoesC.the shoes in the room with purified airD.the shoes in the room with appealing smells45.To produce a calming effect, some companies use thesmell of ________.A.lemonB.woodC.melting butterD.mintPassage FourThe First Rule of Finance is to live within your means by spending no more than 80% of your take-home pay. If you take home $100 per week, spend no more than $80.But ever look at what people spend their money on? I have relatives and friends deeply in debt, spending $12 forevery $10 they earn instead of the $8 you know they should be spending. When I see them, they’re proud of their new whatever. “What do you think of my new truck?” asked one from the driver’s seat. “Do you like my new shoes?” asked another on high heels. “Check out my new big screen,” said a third while holding the remote in his living room. We’ve all heard people fishing for compliments on their new toys.Every one of them was proud of what they’d finance d. They seem to have bought it for the purpose of being proud, of showing off, of keeping up with the Joneses. “Look at my new…” is everybody’s favorite phrase, even when the object in question isn’t theirs at all and won’t be new when they’ve finally paid for it, if they ever do.They’re proud of being stupid. They think it’s cool to drive the financed car, wear the financed shoes, and watch the financed TV, but to smart people, whose opinions are the only ones we should respect, these people look dumb as rocks.The Joneses, nine times out of 10, are financially stupid. That’s why they have all that stuff, on borrowed money. Why try to copy them? Worse, why try to impress them? Copy and impress smart people, the ones who own their stuff. If you want to impress smart people, debt is the last way to go about it. Trying to impress a money-smart person by going into debt is like trying to impress Olympic swimming champion Michael Phelps by drowning in a pool. Michael Phelps is impressed by good swimming, and a money-smart person by good money management.46.According to the author, the new truck, shoes and bigscreen mentioned in Para. 2 are ________.A.indicators of wealthB.necessities to the buyersC.just a waste of moneyD.examples of showing off47.“… the object in question isn’t theirs” (Para. 2) means ______.A.it is bought for other peopleB.it is bought with loaned moneyC.it will finally be owned by the bankD.it will finally be owned by the buyers48.According to the author, buying new objects on borrowed money is ________.A.unwiseB.shamefulC.understandableD.impressive49.“Smart people” in the last paragraph refer to ________.A.clever businessmenB.people with high IQsC.fashionable wealthy peopleD.people good at money management50.The purpose of this passage is to ________.A.show sympathy with poor consumersB.criticize consumption of luxuriesC.advise people to become money-smartD.persuade people to keep off fashionsPart IV Cloze Test (15 minutes, 10 points)Directions: There are 10 blanks in the following passage. For each numbered blank, there are 4 choices marked A, B, C and D. Choose the best one and mark your answer on the ANSWER SHEET with a single line through the center.There is one fairly standard reason why some thinkers regard the meaning-of-life question as being itself meaningless. They argue __51___ meaning is a matter of language, not objects. It is a __52__ of the way we talk about things, not a feature of things themselves, __53___ shape, weight or color. A cabbage or a computer is not meaningful in itself; it becomes __54___ only by being caught up in our conversation. On this theory, we can make life __55__ by our talk about it; but it cannot have a meaning in itself, __56___ than a cloud can. It would not __57__ sense, for example, to speak of a cloud as being true or false. ___58__, truth and falsehood are functions ofour humman judgements about clouds. However, there are problems with this argument, __59___ there are with most philosophical arguments. We shall be __60___ a few of them later on.51. A. that B. how C. if D. what52. A. means B. question C. problem D. method53. A. with B. for C. like D. as54. A. this B. that C. such D. so55. A. rich B. important C. meaningful D. colorful56. A. not more B. far moreC. much moreD. any more57. A. make B. bring C. take D. give58. A. Hence B. Rather C. Still D. Therefore59. A. when B. since C. as D. for60. A. writing about B. hunting forC. listening toD. looking at英语试卷二Part V Translation (30 minutes, 10 points)Directions: Translate the following passage into Chinese and put your translation on the ANSWER SHEET.Human friends may come and go, but a horse could be one of your most loyal, long-term friends if you treat it right.Horses understand words better than expected, since horses can hear the human voice better than even dogs can, due to their particular range of hearing. And scientists predict that trainers could have greater success if they use more verbal commands in their horse training programs.Horses possess excellent memories, which allow horses to not only recall their human friends after a long period of separation but also to remember some complex human instructions for ten years or more. The bonds with humans are likely an extension of horse behavior in the wild, since horsesvalue their own horse relatives and friends, and are also open to new, non-threatening acquaintances. Horses maintain long-term bonds with several members of their family group, but they also interact temporarily with members of other groups when forming herds.Part VI Writing (30 minutes, 15 points)Directions: You are to write in no less than 120 words on the topic of “The Country I Would Like to Visit”. You may base your composition on the clues given below:1.假如有机会到国外度假两周，你会选择哪个国家?2.请至少给出三个理由。

Choose tile best word or phrase jbr eacb, numbered blank.Most worthwhile careers require some kind of specialized training. Ideally, therefore, the choice of an 01 should be made even before the choice of a curriculum in high school. Actually, 02 , most people make several job choices during their working _ 03 ,partly because of economic and industrial changes and partly to 04 _ their position. The "one perfect job" does not exist. Young people should 05 enter into a broad flexible training program that will 06 them for a field of work rather than for a single 07 Unfortunately, many young people have to make career plans 08 benefit of help from a competent vocational counselor. They choose their lifework on a hit-or-miss 09 because they know little about the occupational world. Some 10 from job to job; others 11 to work in which they are unhappy and for which they are not fitted.One common 12 is choosing an occupation for its real or imagined prestige (reputation) . Too many high school students choose their professional field, 13 both the relatively small proportion of workers in the professions and the extremely high educational and personal 14 . The imagined or real prestige of a profession or a "white-collar" job is 15 good reason for choosing it as life's work. 16 , these occupations are not always well paid. Since a large proportion of jobs are in mechanical and manual work, the 17 of young people should give serious 18 to these fields.Before making an occupational choice, a person should have a general idea of what he wants out of life and how hard he is willing to work to get it. Some people desire social prestige, others 19 satisfaction. Some want security, others are willing to take 20 for financial gain. Each occupational choice has its demands as well as its rewards.01.

The acquisition of skills is not an end in itself. They are things to be put to use, and that use is their contribution to a common and shared life. They are intended, indeed, to make an individual more capable of self-support and of self-respecting independence. But unless this end is placed in the context of services rendered to others, skills gained will be put to an egoistic and selfish use, and may be employed as means of a trained smartness in which one person gets the better of others. Too often, indeed, the schools, through reliance upon the spur of competition and the awarding of special honors and prizes, only build up and strengthen the character that makes an individual when he leaves school employ his special talents and superior skill to outwit his fellows without respect for the welfare of others.What is true of the skills acquired in school, is true also of the knowledge gained there. The educational end and the ultimate test of the value of what is learned is its use and application in carrying on and improving the common life of all. It should never be forgotten that the background of the traditional educationalsystem is a class society and that opportunity for instruction in certain subjects, especially literary ones and in mathematics beyond the bases of simple arithmetical subject, was reserved for the wellborn and the well-to-do. Because of this fact, knowledge of these subjects became a symbol of cultural superiority and social status. For many persons the possession of knowledge was a means of display, almost of showing off. Useful knowledge, on the other hand, was necessary only for those who were compelled by their class status to work for a living. The uselessness of knowledge for all purposes save purely personal culture was proof of its higher quality.Even after education in many countries was made universal, these standards of value persisted. There is no greater egoism than that of learning when it is treated simply as a mark of personal distinction to be held and cherished for its own sake. Yet the only way of eliminating this quality of exclusiveness is that all conditions of the school environment should tend in actual practice to develop in individuals the realization that knowledge is a possession held in trust for the furthering of the well-being of all.21. The author deems it right for schools to offer people[ A ] means of attaining their ends.[ B ] opportunities of gaining celebrity.[ C ] skills needed for serving the public.[ D ] knowledge for securing decent status.22. Learned skills may be applied properly as long as[ A ] they are intended for common good.[ B ] they submit to general social context.[ C ] they are used at the cost of self-interest.[ D] they defy all sorts of egoistic attempts.23. The author criticizes current education for its[ A ] stimulation of self-seeking ambitions.[ B ] advocacy of fighting for affluence.[ C ] encouragement of merciless rivalry.[ D ] preference for talented youngsters.24. Traditional education was unfair because of[ A] the privileges enjoyed by the noble class.[ B ] the general devaluation of useful knowledge.[ C ] the misuse of knowledge for mere self-display.[ D ] the inability of the poor to afford much training.25. The phrase "in trust (for)" in the last sentence of the text probably means[ A ] with firm faith (in) .[ B ] for the advantage (of)[ C ] in responsibility (for)[ D ] on full credit (to)26. The text ends by suggesting that[ A ] selfishness is inherent to the pursuit of knowledge.[ B ] universal education has been changed qualitatively.[ C ] learning should be prized for the advantages it gives.[ D ] education must persist in its social criteria of value.Part BYou are going to read an extract about telegraphic speech. Six paragraphs have been removed from the extract. Choose from the paragraphs A - G the one which fits each gap (27 - 32) . There is one extra paragraph which you do not need to use.Telegraphic SpeechAnother way that early child language has been characterized is that early sentences appear to be very much like telegrams. Because telegraph companies often charge by the word, when one sends a telegram one tries to eliminate as many of the words as possible while still retaining the essence of what must be communicated.27The words that are retained are content words, such as nouns and verbs; the words that are lost are most often function words, such as pronouns, articles, prepositions, conjunctions and verbal auxiliaries. Early child language appears to be very similar. In general, content words such as nouns and verbs are uttered, while other words are not.28Another difference is that not all function words are omitted. There are three types of function words which are likely to be used quite early in children's speech. The first is personal pronouns, especially first and second person and their possessive adjectives. Unlike many function words, these words have relatively clear referents, and are useful to communicate some of the basic roles in discourse and the concept of objects belonging to individuals.29A third class is verb particles, such as up in get up, down in put down, off in take off, or on in put on. Often the particles are used in place of the entire verb- particle unit instead of the verb alone, as might be expected.30There is reason to believe that the last word is more stressed than other words in a sentence. The third reason is that the verbs such as get, put, and take often have very general and vague meanings, which are probably difficult for the child to extract, whereas the meanings of up, down, off, and so on, are easier to understand.31Another trap in the telegraphic speech analogy is that in composing a telegram adults start with a complete utterance and eliminate function words. One can take the analogy too literally and suggest that children have more developed syntax than they show, but due to limited memory children express only part of thesyntactic torm they have available to them.32The characterization of early speech as telegraphic applies not 0niy to English, but to early speech in other languages as well. If one measures development in terms of the percentage of function morphemes present, one finds a consistent picture across languages.A The next class of function words used quite early is the demonstrative pronouns this and that. These pronouns serve a function in adult speech that corresponds to children's first referential utterances, and thus are among thefirst words used. These words, too, can be used to refer to the basic roles children first communicate.B The use of a verb particle in place of the verb is especially noticeable in children who are learning German, which makes much greater use of verb-particle constructions than does English.C The first people to study the two-word stage found that there appeared to be a consistent pattern to these early sentences. Although the child may have a vocabulary of 50 or more words, the first two-word sentences seemed to be such that one of the words usually seemed to come from a very small set of words.D As a general characterization, the term telegraphic speech seems quite proper, but one should be cautioned from taking the analogy too literally. For one thing, children tend to omit inflections, such as the plural ending on nouns. These inflections are retained by adults in telegrams, as the telegraphcompanies don't charge extra for them.E Most observers now believe that children use telegraphic speech because they have not mastered the other parts of the syntax rather than because of any memory limitations.F Suppose, for example, one wishes to communicate: My wallet has been stolen. Therefore I need money. Please send me $ 500 in care of American Express Copenhagen. The telegram would look something like this: WALLET STOLEN. SEND $ 500 AMERICAN EXPRESS COPENHAGEN.G There are at least three reasons why this happens. One is that such particles often convey the main stress in the sentence. When a caregiver says: let me pick you up, the main sentence stress is on the up. A second reason is that such words are often the last word in a sentence.Part CYou are going to read a passage about how to become more creative. Choose from the list A - G the headings which best summaries each paragraph ( 33 - 38) of the passage. There is one extra heading that you do not need to use.Tips on how to become more creative33Every night, for about 90 minutes, we drift into a strange, shadowy, magical world of our own creation. Poets, writers, artists and even scientists have found inspiration in their "dreamland" . Dreams are a message from the subconscious, away of tapping your inner self. Keep a note pad and pen by your bedside, and as soon as you wake, note down whatever snatches of dreams you can recall. Dreams can solve your problems, give you advice, reveal your true feelings, and be a source of inspiration.34Have you ever thought of a friend just as she unexpectedly phones you? Or sensed an atmosphere in a strange house? Or had a feeling which proved correct? Everyone has a sixth sense--but some use it more than others. To develop your natural psychic abilities, why not start with a simple experiment7 Draw six objects (anything-- a windmill, even a fruit bowl ) in secret, then ask a friend to "receive" the pictures, one at a time, while you "send" them in an adjacent room--then s.35What are you aware of right now7 Look at a familiar object in the room as if seeing it for the first time--explore it with your eyes. Next, listen intently to any sounds you can hear. What can you smell and taste at this moment? Touch whatever is within reach, run your hand over and around it--how does it feel? During the next few weeks stimulate all your senses. Visit an art gallery, walk in a pine forest, luxuriate in a scented bubble bath, go to a concert; swim, have a message. Try to experience it all as if it were totally new to you.36If you're right-handed, develop the skills of your left hand or vice versa-allow it to draw something, switch TV channels or drink a cup of tea. Try this exercise: write a list of ten adjectives which characterize your personality using the hand you usually write with. A few days later, repeat the exercise writing with the other hand. Then compare the two lists. You might be surprised at the secrets of your inner self! For example, on thefirst list you might have written that you're "witty", but the second list might say "suspicious" . Then try a similar exercise, making two lists of "What I would most like to do"37Have you ever longed to paint portraits or watercolours, write a novel, draw cartoons, compose a song, design your own clothes, set up a business or landscape your garden? If so, why not start now? Yes, you might discover that your fa'st efforts are laughable-- but try, try again. With a few notable exceptions such as Mozart, most people have't6 develop their creative talents through sheer hard work. Don't kid yourself that you. haven't any spare time. It's a question of making time, of seeing your talents as important enough to devote a few hours to each week. Who knows--you might be the next Laura Ashley or Agatha Christie?38Forget about being told off for daydreaming at school. Daydreaming is good for you! Whether it's a purely escapist fantasy, or a dream about how life might be in the future, only the right-brain has visions of this kind. Creative visualization, vividly imagining whatever you desire as if it has already happened--and reallybelieving in it, is said to be a powerful way of getting what you want. Many top sports people imagine themselves playing and winning--and it seems to work!A Activate your sensesB Record your dreamsC Discover your hidden talentsD Develop your intuitive powersE Try writing with the wrong handF Find time for quiet meditationG Let yourself daydreamPart DYou are going to read a passage about Britain's new drug policy. Decide whether the statements in the box agree with the information given in the passage. You should choose from the following:A YES = the statement agrees with the informationB NO = the statement contradicts the informationC NOT GIVEN = there is no information on this in the passageBritain's new drug policyFor those who believed we were finally making progress on tackling drugs, Nick Davies's report will have made disappointing reading. We were supposed to be in a new era where treatment was finally being given an increased priority, and the impossibility of the old policy's goals, stopping the suppliers, was more widely and realistically accepted. As recently as 1998, some 75% of a ~ 1.4 billion drug control programme went on enforcement and a mere 13% on treatment. But in a close examination of three aspects of the new programme--drugs action teams (DATs), drug treatment and testing orders (DTFOs), and arrest-referralworkers--Mr Davies documents frustrating shortcomings.He went to Bristol where he found the local drugs action team, with a budget of ~3.5m a year, had produced just five extra beds for drag treatment; the arrest- referral team after three years could provide no evidence that even one user had completed a treatment course; and in a city with 12, 500 drug users the local courts last year issued just 48 DTTOs. More serious than these particular policy problems are the structtJra] problems that Mr Davies finds: the 44 different funding streams; the 68-page treatment plan with its 82 targets; the central micro-management with its detailed national guidance and constant reporting back. In the words of Ire firmer manager, who claimed he was left with only 40% of his time to organise services: "They don't know very much about drugs, but they do know about management and monitoring and data collection. So that's what they do."To be fair to the policy-makers, a succession of independent auditors have pointed to a wide variation in local services. Bristol is one of the worst areas. There are 149 DATs nationally. They should not all be judgedby Bristol. But even the good ones will be suffering from the micro-management and multiple funding streams that Mr Davies documents. Here are two issues that the new national treatment agency must take up.Whitehall should be reviewing its own policy-making process. DTTOs were an excellent idea, seriously damaged by poor administration. The admirable aim was to ensure drug users who are committing crimes to feed their habits, are treated in the community rather than prison. The programmes are designed to be intense and well-structured to reassure the courts and community. They are expensive (~ 6, 000 a year) but still far cheaper than prison (~ 35, 000 a year) . Offenders are tested for drugs twice a week, spending at least 15 hours a week in sessions designed to bring some order to their chaotic lives, with regular reviews by the courts of their progress. But a recent report by inspectors found the scheme had been unsuccessful because of the failure to produce a national plan and a launch which coincided with the reorganisation of the two key players--probation and primary care trusts.Mr Davies's report also concerns the readiness of Britain to return to an old remedy for dealing with heroin users: medical prescribing where addicts receive pure heroin rather than the low quality drug from the black market. It is the low quality drugs that cause the damage, not the heroin, which does not pose a physical threat, beyond its serious addiction problem. Although dropped by Britain in the last three decades, medical prescribing has successfully been taken up by Switzerland, Germany and the NetherlandYes No Not given39 The article shows a positive attitude towards Britain's new drug policy.

[ 46 ] When information from assessment is used to adapt teaching and learning to meet student needs, it becomes formative assessment. which includes teacher observation, classroom discussion, and analysis of student work.When teachers know how students are progressing and where they are having trouble, they can use this information to make necessary instructional adjustments, such as re-teaching, trying ahemative instructional approaches, or offering more opportunities for practice.[47] Black and William (1998) conducted an extensive research review of 250 journal articles and book chapters to determine whether formative assessment raises academic standards in the classroom. They concluded that efforts to strengthen formative assessment produce significant learning gains. Formative assessment apparently helps low-achieving students, including students with learning disabilities, even more than it helped other students.[48 ] Feedback given as part of formative assessment helps learners become aware of any gads that exist between their desired goal and their current knowledge, understanding, or skill and guides them throuAgh actions necessary to obtain the goal. The most helpful type of feedback on tests and homework provides specific comments about errors and specific suggestions for improvement and encourages students to focus their attention thoughtfully on the task rather than on simply getting the right answer. This type of feedback may be particularly helpful to lower achieving students because it emphasizes that students can improve as a result of effort ratherthan be doomed to low achievement due to some presumed lack of innate ability. [ 49 ] Formative assessment helps support the expectation that all children can learn to high levels and counteracts the cycle in which students attribute poor pertbrmance to lack of ability and therefore become discouraged and unwilling to invest in further learning_While feedback generally originates from a teacher, learners can also play an important role in formative assessment through self-evaluation. [ 50 ] Two experimental research studies have shown that students who understand the learning objectives and assessment criteria and have opportunities to reflect on their work show greater improvement than those who do not. Students with learning disabilities who are taught to use self-monitoring strategies related to their understanding of reading and writing tasks also show performance gains ( Graham,& Harris, 1992)Section IV Writing (40 minutes, 20% )According to a recent survey, college students hold strong mistrusts to college examinations.

Passage 1Scientists are learning more about the effects of stress on our bodies. Long-term stress may increase the risk of obesity(肥胖), heart disease, and even asthma, according to new research.Stressful experiences---such as mental illness in a family, unemployment, poverty, or abuse---continue to affect our health and well-being far longer than the actual event. This is becoming a major concern for public health professionals.Researchers at the University of California discovered that childhood stress could permanently affect a person’s DNA. They found that kids who went through traumatic (创伤性的) experiences at a young age had shorter telomeres（端粒）than tho se who hadn’t. Telomeres are the protective tips at the end of our DNA, and shorter telomeres are linked to a variety of health problems. The researchers concluded that early childhood trauma has a lasting impact on our overall health.In another study, scientists in Sweden measured the stress levels of 17,000 adults, and then tracked them for 11 years. The results showed that the most stressed-out participants had a 45% higher risk of developing heart disease. The study also revealed that those with stressful jobs were more likely to take sick leave due to heart problems.Furthermore, researchers in New Zealand found that children who suffered ongoing stress before the age of 15 had a higher chance of developing asthma later in life. This finding suggests that reducing stress in early childhood could have long-term health benefits.Overall, these studies emphasize the need for stress reduction strategies and interventions, particularly in high-risk populations. Whether through therapy, meditation(冥想), or lifestyle changes, it is essential that we find healthy ways to manage and cope with stress to protect our long-term health.1. According to the passage, long-term stress may lead to _______.A. mental illnessB. shorter telomeresC. unemploymentD. poverty答案：B解析：根据第一段中的“Long-term stress may increase the risk of obesity(肥胖), heart disease, and even asthma, according to new research.”可知，长期的压力可能会增加肥胖、心脏病甚至哮喘的风险，选项B中的“shorter telomeres”（更短的端粒）对应文章中提到的短端粒与健康问题有关。

Each of the passages is followed by 5 questions or unfinished statements. 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 with a single line through the center. Passage OneDon't have time to read anymore? Now you can get free, quick literature via email. More than 100,000 people open their email each day to read a chapter of a book, through Chapter-A-Day, an online book club created two years ago. It's a free email service that provides a short daily reading for busy people, exposing them to literature they may not find on their own, inspiring some to recommit to the reading habit. About 550 public library systems representing over 3,000 branch libraries already have signed up to offer Chapter-A-Day. Via email, participants get about five minutes' worth of reading every day. After three chapters are emailed, the installments stop, and those who want to keep reading can borrow the book at their public library or purchase it online. Chapter-A-Day has eight free book clubs, and sells thousands of books each month.Chapter-A-Day started in 1999 when Suzanne Beecher, a lifelong book lover, realized howmany of the women who worked part-time for her software development company didn't have time in their busy lives to read. She decided to type part of a chapter of a book, and send it to her employees through email. The next day she typed a little more, and continued to send literary installments each day. She says she started getting feedback from the staff about how reading made them feel. “They were interested, and realized that, though they didn't have time in their busy lives for reading, just reading that little bit each day got them back in the habit.” Realizing that many other people could benefit, she decided to take the idea even further and start an email “chapter-a-day” b ook club to help others ease their way back into daily reading. “Reading makes changes in people's lives,” Beecher says.Pat Dempsey, a librarian at a public library in Ohio, has found Chapter-A-Day helps her library clients get back in the habit of r eading. “It's a different way to get people hooked on books,” she says.31. Chapter-A-Day is intended to help people _______.A. get back into the habit of readingB. relieve stress from office workC. find interesting books onlineD. buy books more conveniently32. The passage was written in ___________.A. 1999B. 2023C. 2023D. 202333. It can be inferred that through Chapter-A-Day _________.A. public libraries have become crowded with readersB. Ms Beecher made much money for her software companyC. people begin to read very slowly and patientlyD. people cannot finish reading any book online34. The word “installment” in the passage probably means “ ________. ”A. a library emailB. a rare piece of literatureC. a free novelD. a part of a book35. Ms Beecher decided to expand her Chapter-A-Day service because_____.A. over 3, 000 libraries had joinedB. many other people could benefitC. eight book clubs supported herD. free email service was availablePassage TwoChicago Public Schools are going to great lengths to hire teachers—now the school district recruits teachers from other countries to help solve a shortage of teachers. It all started in 1999, when Rouses Hannon, a math and physics teacher from Palestine(巴勒斯坦), visited Chicago. He read about the teacher shortage at Chicago Public Schools and asked the school board if they’d hire him. The board was interested and decided to create a special program for foreign-born teachers like Hannon, and he was the first teacher hired.The program is called the Global Educator Outreach or GEO, and it’s a partnership between Chicago Public Schools and the U. S. Government. Because the teacher shortage in Chicago is so extreme, the Government allows the school district to temporarily hire foreign teaching candidates using HI-B visas. The Government grants these visas only to skilled foreign-born citizens so they can work in highly specialized jobs that can’t be filled with available U. S. workforce.Through the GEO, the school district has hired dozens of teachers from 22 different countries. Applicants must pass an English language test and specialize in math, science, world language or bilingual(双语旳) education. Hannon and the first GEO teachers started in the classroom at the beginning of the 2023-2023 school year.What do the GEO teachers think of the American classroom? Hannon, who was hired to teach math at Gage Park High School, says classrooms in Chicago are very different from those in Palestine. For one thing, he says, the fixed schedule that forces students to attend the same classes at the same time each day becomes too dull. In Palestine, the class schedule changes each week. He says in Palestine, the culture forces students to work hard because if they don’t they’ll be kicked out and put in vocational schools, which limits their career options. There is not nearly as much pressure for American students to do well. He says he has to do double the amount of work just to get his students interested.36. Chicago Public Schools began to employ foreign teachers because_____.A. there were not enough American teachersB. a program for foreign teachers was startedC. the school board was interested in foreign teachersD. foreign teachers taught better than American teachers.37. The American Government is involved in the program because _______.A. the schools are public schoolsB. the Government is to finance the programC. the Government grants visas to the foreign teachersD. the program involves bilingual education38. It seems that the Global Educator Outreach will_____.A. be difficult to continueB. last a limited period of timeC. pose a threat to US workforceD. be extended to other cities39. Chicago Public Schools do not seem to lack teachers of _______.A. EnglishB. mathC. scienceD. world language40. Hannon, as a GEO teacher, has found that _______.A. class schedules in America and Palestine are very much the sameB. fixed class schedules make it easy for teachers to prepare lessonsC. vocational schools offer a good career option for American studentsD. American students do not work as hard as Palestinian students Passage ThreeWorkforce is defined as the total number of people who are available to work and earn incomes. The definition includes everyone who is employed or seeking paid employment, so it includes employers and the self-employed.Although the size of the workforce depends a great deal on the size of the total population, there are several other influences which also affect it. The age distribution of the total population has a very marked effect on the available workforce. If the population has a high proportion of very young people or of those too old to work, then the available workforce would be lower than if there were an evenly spread age distribution. If the population grows rapidly from natural increase, i.e., the number of births greatly exceeds the number of deaths, then as the total population increases, the proportion in the workforce declines.Sometimes a population is described as aging, which means that the birth rate is either falling or growing very slowly, and as people retire from the workforce, there are not enough young people entering it to replace those who are leaving it. The population is top-heavy with older people. So the percentage of the population in the workforce declines when there is either a rapid increase in births or a falling birth rate.The age distribution of the population has several important effects on the economy. If the population is aging and there is an increase in the number of people retiring without a corresponding increase in the number entering the workforce, this raises the problem of the ability of the economy to provide a reasonable level of social services to the retired group. If the aged are to be cared for in special homes or hotels, finances must be available for that purpose. If the size of the workforce is small relative to the total population, then the government tax receipts arerelatively low and either the government has less money available to it or the workforce members have to be taxed more heavily.41. Workforce is composed of _________.A. both the employed and the self-employedB. people employed to work for othersC. both employers and employeesD. people available to work and earn incomes42. The factor that does not influence the size of the workforce is _______.A. the size of the total populationB. the age distribution of a populationC. the national economyD. the natural population growth43. It can be concluded from Paragraph 2 that ________.A. a population growth leads to a greater proportion of workforceB. a large population does not necessarily mean a high proportion of workforceC. the size of the aged determines the proportion of workforceD. the proportion of the very young determines the size of workforce44. The size of the workforce declines when ________.A. many people reach the retiring ageB. the birth rate falls rapidlyC. the number of retirees exceeds that of new workersD. the death rate increases45. The last paragraph focuses on _______.A. the factors that influence the workforce structureB. the importance of workforce distribution to the economyC. the relationship between age distribution and economyD. the influence of population growth on the national economyPassage FourHonesty is the best policy, as the English saying goes. Unfortunately, honesty often deserts us when no one is watching, British psychologists reported last week.Researchers at UK’s Newcastle University set up an experiment in their psychology depar tment’s coffee room. They set a kettle, with tea, coffee and milk on the counter and hung up a sign listing the prices for drinks. People helping themselves to a cup of drink were supposed to put a few cents in the box nearby. The scientists hung a poster above the money box, and it changed each week between images of gazing eyes and pictures of flowers. The researchers found that staff paid 2.76 times more for their drinks when the image of the eyes was hung. “Frankly we were shocked by the size of the effect,” said Gilbert Roberts, one of the researchers.Eyes are known to be a powerful perceptual(感官旳) signal for humans. “Even though the eyes were not real, they still seemed to make people behave more honestly,” said Melissa Bateson,a behavioral biologist and leader of the study.Researchers believe the effect sheds light on our evolutionary past. It may arise from behavioral features that developed when early humans formed social groups to strengthen their chances of survival. For social groups to work, individuals had to co-operate, rather than act selfishly. “There’s an argument that if nobody is watching us, it is in our interests to behave selfishly. But when we’re being watched we should behave better. So people see us as co-operative and behave the same way towards us,” Bateson said.The new finding indicates that people have a striking response to eyes. That might be because eyes and faces send a strong biological signal we have evolved to respond to. The finding could be put to practical use, too. For example, images of eyes could increase ticket sales on public transport and improve supervision systems to prevent antisocial behavior.46. The experiment conducted in Newcastle University shows that ________.A. people enjoy free drinks more than paid onesB. most people are dishonest if nobody is watchingC. people like pictures of flowers more than pictures of eyesD. people are more honest when watched by pictures of eyes47. Gilbert Roberts was shocked because _______ _.A. so many people had participated in the experimentB. so many of the participants were dishonestC. the effects of the pictures of flowers and gazing eyes were so differentD. the effects of eyes and other perceptual signals were so powerful48. The phrase “sheds light on” in Paragraph 4 probably means “________”.A. hints atB. makes clearerC. points toD. further proves49. According to the passage, early humans _________.A. were less selfish than the present-day peopleB. were more co-operative in natureC. had to be co-operative to surviveD. had to behave better than the present-day people50. Images of eyes could be put up in the following places EXCEPT _________.A. subway entrancesB. supermarketsC. back streetsD. hotel bedroomsPart IV Cloze Test (15 minutes, 10 points)Directions: There are 10 blanks in the following passage.

In the early 1990s, about half of these accidental deaths were the result of motor-vehicle accidents. Other major causes of accidental deaths were falls, fires, and poisoning. On a worldwide basis, accidents involving motor vehicles are the primary cause of accidental deaths, followed by accidents in industry and in the home.Efforts to lessen or to eliminate the hazardous conditions that cause accidents are known as safety measures. Safety is a growing concern around the world, and safety skills are being taken more seriously today than ever before. People have came to realize that safety skills can be learned, and most safety experts agree that it is possible to predict, and take steps to prevent, the majority of accidents. Few accidents simply “happen”. Most are caused by ignorance, carelessness, neglect, or lack of skill.Part VI Writing (30 minutes, 15 points)Directions: You are to write in no less than 120 words about the topic “On the Significance of the Qing-Zang Railroad”.

Choose the best one and mark the corresponding letter with a single bar across the square brackets on your machine-scoring NSWER SHEET.Passage OneUntil last spring, Nia Parker and the other kids in her neighborhood commuted to school on Bus 59. But as fuel prices rose, the school district needed to find a way to cut its transportation costs. So the school's busing company redrew its route map, eliminating Nia's bus altogether. Now Nia and her neighbors travel the haft mile to school via a “walking school bus”a group of kids, supervised by an adult or two, who make the walk together.Like the rest of us, school districts are feeling pinched by rising fuel costs—and finding new ways to adapt. The price of diesel fuel has gone up 34 percent in the past two years. For the typical American school district, bus bills total 5 percent of the budget. As administrators look to trim, busing is an inviting target, since it doesn't affect classroom instruction (or test scores). More than one third of American school administrators have elim/nated bus stops or routes in order to stay within budget.Many parents are delighted to see their kids walking to school, partly because many did so themselves: according to a 1969 survey, nearly half of school kids walked or biked to school, compared with only 16 percent in 2001. Modem parents have been unwilling to let kids walk to school for fear of traffic, crime or simple bullying, but with organized adult supervision, those concerns have diminished.Schools and busing companies are finding other ways to save. In rural areas where busing is a must, some schools have even chosen four day school weeks. Busing companies instruct drivers to eliminate extra stops from routes and to mm off the engine while idling. They are also using computer software to determine the most fuelefficient routes, which aren't always the shortest ones.There could be downsides, however, to the busing cutbacks. If every formerly bused student begins walking to school, it's an environmental winbut if too many of their parents decide to drive them instead, the overall carbon footprint can grow. Replacing buses with many more parent driven cars can also increase safety risks: A 2002 report concluded students are 13 times safer on a school bus than in a passenger car, since buses have fewer accidents and withstand them better due to their size. And some students complain about the long morning hikes, particularly when the route contains a really big hill.31. The “walking school bus” _________.A. does not consume fuelB. aims to keep children fitC. seldom causes traffic jamsD. is popular with school kids32. In America the responsibility for busing kids to school lies with _______.A. individual schoolsB. school districtsC. teachersD. parents33. As regards walking to school, modern parents seem much concerned with the_____.A. time spent on the wayB. changes in the routeC. kids' physical strengthD. safety of their children34. To save money, some schools choose to _____________.A. take the shortest routesB. shorten the school weekC. give drivers better trainingD. use fuelefficient buses35. Busing cutbacks may eventually lead to ___________.A. fiercer competition among bus companiesB. more students taking public transportationC. an increase in carbon dioxide emissionsD. a decrease in the safety of school buses36. Which of the following best describes the author's attitude towards busing cutbacks?A. Favorable.B. Critical.C.Objective.D. Indifferent.Passage TwoPeople are living longer than eve Two r, but for some reason, women are living longer than men. A baby boy born in the United States in 2003 can expect to live to be about 73, a baby girl, about 79. This is indeed a wide gap, and no one really knows why it exists. The greater longevity (长寿) of women, however, has been known for centuries. It was, for example, described in the seventeenth century. However, the difference was smaller thenthe gap is growing.A number of reasons have been proposed to account for the differences. The gap is greatest in industrialized societies, so it has been suggested that women are less susceptible to work strains that may raise the risk of heart disease and alcoholism. Sociologists also tell us that women are encouraged to be less adventurous than men (and this may be why they are more careful drivers, involved in fewer accidents). Even smoking has been implicated in the age discrepancy. It was once suggested that working women are more likely to smoke and as more women entered the work force, the age gap would begin to close, because smoking is related to earlier deaths. Now, however, we see more women smoking and they still tend to live longer although their lung cancer rate is climbing sharply.One puzzling aspect of the problem is that women do not appear to be as healthy as men. That is, they report far more illnesses. But when a man reports an illness, it is more likely to be serious.Some researchers have suggested that men may die earlier because their health is more strongly related to their emotions. For example, men tend to die sooner after losing a spouse than women do. Men even seem to be more weakened by loss of a job.(Both of these are linked with a marked decrease in the effectiveness of the immune system.) Among men, death follows retirement with an alarming promptness.Perhaps we are searching for the answers too close to the surface of the problem. Perhaps the answers lie deeper in our biological heritage. After all, the phenomenon is not isolated to humans. Females have the edge among virtually all mammalian (哺乳动物) species, in that they generally live longer. Furthermore, in many of these species the differences begin at the moment of conception; there are more malev miscarriages (流产). In humans, after birth, more baby boys than baby girls die.37. What can we learn from the first two paragraphs?A. Men's lifespan remains almost unchanged.B. Researchers have found the causes of the age gap.C. The more advanced a society, the greater the age gap.D. The age gap was noticed only recently.38. As is suggested in Paragraph 2, the two factors relevant to women's longer lifespan are _____.A. diseases and road accidentsB. industrialization and work strainsC. their immunity to heart disease and refusal of alcoholD. their endurance of work strains and reluctance for adventure39. According to Paragraph 3, which of the following statements is true?A. The great number of male smokers contributes to the age gap.B. The growing number of smoking women will narrow the age gap.C.

For example, everyone knows that lights should be switched off when no one is in an office. Similarly, when employees are not using a meeting room, there is no need to regulate temperature.Fortunately, one need not rely on human intervention to conserve energy. With the help of smart sensing and network technology, energy conservation processes such as turning off lights and adjusting temperature can be readily automated. Ultimately, this technology will enable consumers and plant managers to better identify wasteful energy use and institute procedures that leadto smarter and more efficient homes, buildings and industrial plants.Until now, wires and cables for power and connectivity have limited the widespread adoption of sensor (传感器) networks by making them difficult and expensive to install and maintain. Batterypowered wireless networks can simplify installation and reduce cost. But their high power consumption and the corresponding need for regular battery replacement has made wireless networks difficult and costly tomaintain. Nobody wants to replace hundreds or thousands of window sensor batteries in a large building on a regular basis.The promise of wireless sensor networks can only be fully realized when the wiring for both the data communication and the power supply is eliminated. Doing so requires a tree batteryfree wireless solution, one that can utilize energy harvested directly from the environment. To facilitate the widespread deployment of wireless sensor networks, GreenPeak has developed an ultralowpower communication technology that can utilize environmental energy sources such as light, motion and vibration. This technology, employing onboard power management circuits andcomputer software to monitor energy harvesters and make the best use of harvested energy, enables sensors to operate reliably in a batteryfree environment. Wireless sensor networks deployed in our offices and homes will have an enormous impact on our daily lives, helping to build a smarter world in which energy is recycled and fully utilized. These wireless platforms, equipped with advanced sensing capability, will enable us to better control our lives, homes and environment, creating a truly connected world that enables people worldwide to live in a more comfortable, safer, and cleaner environment.43. By “human intervention”(Paragraph 2), the author refers to ________.A. the reduction of great energy waste in the environmentB. the grasping of straightforward opportunities availableC. acts like turning off lights when no one is in the roomD. the adoption of smart sensing and network technology44. Batteries are not an ideal energy source for sensor networks because they__________.A. have to be replaced from time to timeB. contain metals that pollute the environmentC. require automatic rechargingD. are difficult and costly to maintain45. Battery-free wireless sensor networks are made possible by the fact that______.A. there is energy in the environment to be utilizedB. the cost of using them has been drastically reducedC. modem data communication consumes little energyD. their maintenance has been greatly simplified46.

Wireless sensor networks promise to ___________.A. bring businesses high profitsB. further develop the sensing technologyC. turn motion into a major source of energyD. improve the daily lives of people worldwidePassage FourIf you haven't heard or seen anything about Road Rage in the last few months, you've probably been avoiding the media. There have been countless stories about this new and scary phenomenon, considered a type of aggressive driving. You have most likely encountered aggressive driving and/or Road Rage recently if you drive at all. While drunk driving remains a critical problem, the facts about aggressive driving are surely as disturbing. For instance, according to the National Highway Transportation Safety Association, 41,907 people died on the highway last year. Of those fatalities, the agency estimates that about twothirds were caused at least in part by aggressive driving behavior.Why is this phenomenon occurrifig more than ever now, and why is it something that seemed almost nonexistent a few short years ago? Experts have several theories, and all are probably partially correct. One suggestion is sheer overcrowding. In the last decade, the number of cars on the roads has increased by more than 11 percent, and the number of miles driven has increased by 35 percent. However, the number of new road miles has only increased by 1 percent. That means more cars in the same amount of space;and the problem is magnified in urban areas. Also, people have less time and more things to do. With people working and trying to fit extra chores (琐事) and activities into the day, stress levels have never been higher. Stress creates anxiety, which leads to short tempers. These factors, when combined in certain situations, can spell Road Rage.You may think you are the last person who would drive aggressively, but you might be surprised. For instance, have you ever yelled out loud at a slower driver, sounded the horn long and hard at another car, or sped up to keep another driver from passing? If you recognize yourself in any of these situations, watch out!Whether you are getting angry at other drivers, or another driver is visibly upset with you, there are things you can do to avoid any major confrontation. If you are susceptible to Road Rage, the key is to discharge your emotion in a healthy way. If you are the target of another driver's rage, do everything possible to get away from the other driver safely, including avoiding eye contact and getting out of their way.49. The first sentence in Paragraph 1 implies that ______________.A. people not interested in the media know little about recent happeningsB. Road Rage has received much media coverage in the last few monthsC. one may be raged by media reports and wants to avoid themD. the media coined the term "Road Rage" only a few months ago50. According to the National Highway Transportation Safety Association, last year______.A. drunk driving remained the No. 1 killer on the highwaysB. more people were killed by aggressive driving than by drunk drivingC. two thirds of drivers were killed by aggressive drivingD. 41,907 people fell victim to aggressive driving51. Which of the following is NOT mentioned as a cause of aggressive driving?A. Increasing number of cars.B. Drivers' stress and anxiety.C. Overcrowded roads.D. Rush hour traffic.52. The word “spell” in Paragraph 3 means“______________”.A. speakB. causeC. describeD. spare53. Which of the following characterizes aggressive driving?A. Talking while driving.B. Driving fast.C. Yelling at another driver.D. Sounding the horn when passing.54. The last paragraph is intended to ____________.A. tell people how to cope with Road RageB. inform people how aggressive drivers could beC. tell people how to control themselves when angryD. warn people against eye contact with another driverPassage FiveIn the early 20th century, a horse named Clever Hans was believed capable of counting and other impressive mental tasks. After years of great performance, psychologists discovered that though Hans was certainly clever, he was not clever in the way everyone expected. The horse was cleverly picking up on tiny, unintentional bodily and facial signals given out not only by his trainer, but also by the audience. Aware of the “Clever Hans” effect, Lisa Lit at the University of California and her colleagues wondered whether the beliefs of professional dog handlers might similarly affect the outcomes of searches for drugs and explosives. Remarkably, Dr Lit found, they do.Dr Lit asked 18 professional dog handlers and their dogs to complete brief searches. Before the searches, the handlers were informed that some of the search areas might contain up to three target scents, and also that in two cases those scents would be marked by pieces of red paper. What the handlers were not told was that none of the search areas contained the scents of either drugs or explosives. Any “detections” made by the teams thus had to be false.The findings reveal that of 144 searches, only 21 were clean (no alerts). All the others raised one alert or more. In total, the teams raised 225 alerts. While the sheer number of false alerts struck Dr Lit as fascinating, it was where they took place that was of greatest interest.When handlers could see a red piece of paper, allegedly marking a location of interest, they were much more likely to say that their dogs signalled an alert. The human handlers were not only distracted on almost every occasion by the stimulus aimed at them, but also transmitted that distraction to their animals who responded accordingly. To mix metaphors, the dogs were crying “wolf” at the unconscious signal of their handlers.How much that matters in the real world is unclear. But it might, If a handler, for example, unconsciously “profiled” people being sniffed by a drugor explosivedetecting dog at an airport, false positives could abound. That is not onlybad for innocent travellers, but might distract the team from catching the guilty.55. What did psychologists find out about Clever Hans?A. He was as clever as people claimed.B. He was really good at counting.C. He could understand human language.D. He merely responded to human signals.56. Lisa Lit and her colleagues ___________.A. questioned the “Clever Hans” effectB. discovered the “Clever Hans” effectC. confirmed the “Clever Hans” effectD. rejected the “Clever Hans” effect57. The dog handlers learned before the searches that __________.A. each search area contained three target scentsB. there was actually no target scent in the search areaC. some target scents may be labelled with a special markD. their dogs were expected to f'md the scents of red paper58. What was most significant about the experiment, according to Dr. Lit?A. The location of the false alerts.B. The regularity of the false alerts.C. The number of the false alerts.D. The timing of the false alerts.59. It can be concluded from the experiment that ___________.A. dog handlers are more likely to be distracted than their dogsB. dogs may act in response to their handlers' bodily signalsC. the cooperation between dogs and their handlers is key to successD. welltraineddogs can better understand their handlers' signals60. The author thinks that Dr. Lit's findings _____________.A. should raise our concern in real lifeB. may not be useful in real situationsC. should be backed up by further evidenceD. will be widely applied in the near futurePart IV Close (15 minutes, 15 points, 1 for each)Directions: In this part, there is a passage with 15 blanks.

Choose the best one and mark your answer on the ANSWER SHEET.Passage OneDuring Tokyo’s morning rush hour, a train pulled int o a subway station, and coughing passengers, complaining of a terrible odor, piled out quickly. Stationmaster Tsuneo Hishinuma rushed in and found a plastic bag leaking clear liquid. Hishinuma took the bag to an office and phoned for help. He was found on the floor, foaming at the mouth and left this world. Within minutes, five packed trains had pulled into the station with similar packages with a deadly poison that evaporates into gas. The March 20, 1995, attack killed 12 and sent 5500 to hospitals. The criminals were members of an association called Shinrikyo, which was formed in 1987 to convince it people that the end of the world is at hand.In the United States, shocked by super-terrorism, the Congress has authorized $65 million to establish regional response units and train local emergency workers in anti-terrorist chemical and biological incidents. The FBI’s hostage-rescue team has been expanded. Such efforts must continue because we are really unprepared. In April 1995, when New York simulated a Tokyo-style subway gas attack, over 100 emergency personnel arriving at the scene were declared “dead.”A reward may have helped capture the world’s most dangerous terrorist, Ramzi Ahmed Yousef, who is accused of masterminding the World Trade Center bomb explosion. The FBI advertised a $2 million reward for his capture. In January 1995 Yousef was mixing explosives in his kitchen in Manilawhen his mixture began to smoke, attracting firefighters and police. They found a computer file detailing an elaborate plot to blow up a dozen American airliners in a two-day period. But Yousef had disappeared. A month later U.S agents burst into Yousef’s room and arrested him. A federal jury last September convicted Yousef for plotting to bomb the American airliners; he faces life in prison without parole.As Alecksandr Solzhenitsyn, FBI officer said, “All forms of terrorism have been spreading because everyone is ready to raise the white flag before them. But as soon as some firmness is shown, terrorism can be smashed.”21. The passengers in the train complained about _____________.A. heavy crowds of peopleB. stuffy air.C. coughing noiseD. bad smell22. What happened to the stationmaster?A. He was sent to the hospital.B. He died soon after he touched the bag.C. He found himself burned.D. He was seriously injured.23. What happened in April, 1995 in New York?A. There was a real subway gas attack.B. There was an exercise for a subway gas attack.C. A Tokyo-style subway gas attack was stopped.D. Over 100 emergency personnel were killed.24. Yousef was accused of _____________.A. destroying the computer filesB. exploding World Trade Center by himselfC. making explosives for his followersD. planning to explode the airplanes25. The passage infers that dealing with terrorists the effective way is to ___________.A. strengthen the law against the crimes in certain areasB. make people aware of their dangerC. take rigid action against themD. create a reward program against them Passage TwoBy adopting a few simple techniques, parents who read to their children can substantially increase their children’s language development. It’s surprising, but true. The experi ment which was conducted in Princeton University has clearly proved how parents talk to their children makes a big difference in the children’s language development. If a parent encourages the child to actively respond to what the parent is reading, the ch ild’s language skills increase.A study was done with two- to three-year-old children and their parents. Half of the thirty children participated in the experimental study; the other half acted as the control group. In theexperimental group, the parents were given a two-hour training session in which they were taught to ask open-ended questions rather than yes/no questions. For example, the parent should ask, “What is the doggie doing?” rather than, “Is the doggie running away?” Experimental parents were a lso instructed in how to expand on their children’s answers, how to suggest alternative possibilities, and how to praise correct answers.At the beginning of the study, the children did not differ on measures of language development, but at the end of one month the children in the experimental group tested 5.5 month ahead of the control group on a test of verbal expression and vocabulary. Nine months later, the children in the experimental group still showed an advance of 6 months over the control group.26. Which of the following can be inferred from this passage?A. Parents who listen to their children can teach them more.B. Active children would be likely to read more.C. Children who talk a lot are more intelligent.D. Verbal ability can easily be increased.27. What was the difference between the control group and the experimental group?A. The training parents received.B. The age of the children.C. The books that were read.D. The number of children.28. According to the author, which of the following questions is the best type to ask after reading to a child about a zoo?A. Do you see the elephant?B. Is the elephant in the cage?C. What animals do you like?D. Shall we go to the zoo?29. In Line 11, the word “alternative” could best be replaced by which of the following?A. Better.B. Other.C. Easier.D. Clearer.30. What conclusion is best supported by this passage?A. Parents should be trained to read to their children.B. The more children read, the more intelligent they become.C. Children’s language skills increase when they are required to respond actively.D. Children who read actively act six months older.Passage ThreeThe use of the word "imitation" reminds me that I ought to make some more comments on the risk of people imitating what they see on the screen in the way of crime or violence. For example Iremember a woman who was head of an infants school telling me that she had happened to look out of her window when the children were in the playground and had seen them putting a small boy on a chair with a rope round his neck over the branch of a tree; fortunately she was in time to intervene before the child was hanged. I remember a film of no particular merit in which the hero who was imprisoned had escaped by killing his guard, the technique being shown in detail. This was the kind of scene which we should cut for these reasons.In films for young people we always tried to keep off the screen any details of criminal techniques, such as how to open a locked door with a piece of wire, or how to open a safe; if we were consulted before production I used to advise that the details should not be shown. When I gave talks in prisons about film censorship I invariably had full support for this; since fathers who were in prison for criminal offenses did not want their children to embark on crime.Every time I gave a talk in a prison someone used to mention the French film Rififi made by Jules Dassin in 1954. This remarkable film showed in great detail a robbery of a jeweler's shop, the robbery sequence lasting about half an hour and being backed only by natural sound --- one of the most brilliant film sequences of all time. I remember our discussions at the time. We took into account the fact that the robbery was accomplished only with the use of elaborate and obviously expensive equipment, and that only the most experienced and skilled criminals could possibly imitate it; we believed therefore that it was relatively safe. When talking in prisons some years later I learned that there had been several robberies in which the techniques had been copied, so perhaps we were wrong.31. In the first paragraph, the writer presented an example just to ____________________.A. stop children from fighting togetherB. intervene before the child was hangedC. show how dangerous scenes affected kidsD. indicate how terrible today's children were32. The passage indicates that the writer of this passage is in favor of that TV programs and films should be _________________.A. remade in detailsB. censored to some extentC. stopped for a whileD. be kept away from children33. Which of the following is Not true?A. The writer lectured to prisoners from time to time.B. Fathers in prison didn't want their children to follow them.C. A succession of a robbery in a film lasted about half an hour.D. Children of the criminals often commit crimes.34. The write r realized that people’s belief was wrong because ___________.A. a complicated robbery happened at the same time of the showB. criminals accomplished a difficult robbery with easy techniquesC. criminals succeeded in imitating a complicated robberyD. robbers learned the techniques from reports quickly35. The profession of the person who wrote this passage is probably a ________________.A. detective story writerB. policeman of a prisonC. government officerD. social activistPassage FourThough harvesting ice is not a new concept, now it has been considered in a new way. Long time ago some clever people wanted to use the ice for drinking water by shipping it from the areas where there was a lot of ice to the areas where there was a water shortage. Recently scientists in the United States have been studying this idea of harvesting ice as a possible solution to the problem of the declining fresh water supply, which is happening in many parts of the world. According to the statistics which is presented by Stanford Water Supply Institute, ninety percent of the earth’s fresh water is in the icecap of Antarctica. If only 10 percent of that ice could be drawn to civilization, it could provide water for 500 million people. But the problem, of course, is one of melting. How can a huge iceberg be dragged across the sea without melting?The answer could lie in enclosing the floating ice in a huge cylindrical container made of a high-strength synthetic fabric. If the iceberg were pushed into the fabric container, which is opened at both ends, then the ends could be sealed and the sea water pulled out. After that it could be drawn to civilization. The melting rate would be slowed down and the synthetic net would act as a holding tank for the water. Engineering this project, which might include a container up to one kilometer in length and 100 meters in diameter, would be a feat, but engineers say it is possible. After all, fishermen in North Australia sometimes use nets 8 kilometers long and 20 meters across. If this idea could be put into practice, the worldwide water shortage could be diminished.36. What is the main subject of this passage?A. The declining water supply on earth.B. Fresh water in the Antarctic.C. A solution to fresh water needs.D. The making of a synthetic water container.37. How does the author propose to transport the ice?A. By carrying it.B. By melting it.C. By piping it.D. By pulling it.38. According to the passage, the purpose of the fabric container is to ________.A. protect the iceB. diminish the speed of meltingC. cause the ice to floatD. pump out the sea water39. The word “feat” in Line 15 is most similar in meaning to which of the following?A. Expensive undertakingB. Difficult task.C. Disagreeable job.D. Critical step.40. The purpose of the last sentence but one is to _____________.A. reinforce the feasibility of the projectB. compare fishermen to engineersC. Contrast iceberg containers and fishing netsD. define the size of the containerSection BDirections:In this section, you are required to read several excerpts from newspapers and/or magazines. These excerpts are followed by questions or unfinished statements, each with four suggested answers A, B, C and D. Choose the best one and mark your answer on the ANSWER SHEET.Excerpt 1:What does an economist think of that? A lot depends on whether the economist is a man or a woman. A new study shows a large gender gap on economic policy among the nation’s professional economists, a divide similar ---- and in some cases bigger ---- than the gender divide found in the general public. Differences extend to core professional belief ---- such as the effect of minimum wage laws ---- not just matters of political opinion.Excerpt 2:Opinion differences between men and women are well-documented in the general public. President Obama leads Mitt Romney by 10 percentage points among women. Romney leads Obama by 3 percentage points among men, according to the latest Gallup Poll.Excerpt 3:Liberal economist Dean Baker, co-founder of the Center for Economic Policy and Research, says male economists have been on the inside of the profession, confirming each other’s anto-regulation views. Women, as outsiders, “are more likely to think independently or at least see people outside of the economics profession as forming their peer group,” he says.Excerpt 4:A native of France, de Rugy supported government intervention early in her life but changed her mind after studying economics. “We want many of the same things as liberals ---- less poverty, more health care ---- but have radically different ideas on how to achieve it.”Excerpt 5:Female economists tend to favor a bigger role for government whicle male economists have greater faith in business and the marketplace. Is the U. S. economy excessively regulated? Sixty-five percent of female economists said “no”---- 24 percentage points higher than male economists. “It’s very puzzling,” says free-market economist Veronique de Rugy of the Mercatus Center at George Mason University in Fairfax, Va. “Not a day goes by that I don’t ask myself why there are so few women economists on the free-market side.”Excerpt 6:The gender balance in economics is changing. One-third of economics doctorates now go to women. The chair of the White House Council of Economic Advisers has been a woman three of 27 times since 1946 ---- one advising Obama and two advising Bill Clinton. The Federal Reserve Board of Governors has three women, bringing the total to eight of 90 members since 1914. Excerpt 7:The genders are most divorced from each other on the question of equality for women. Male economists overwhelmingly think the wage gap between men and women is largely the result of individuals’skills, experience and voluntary choices while female economists overwhemingly disagree. The biggest disagreement: 76% of women say faculty opportunities in economics favor men. Male economists point the opposite way: 80% say women are favored or the process is neutral.41. Gender differences between male and femal economists can be observed in the following aspects EXCEPT .A. core professional beliefsB. political preferences in presiential electionC. equality for womenD. the role of government in economy42. The majority of female economists tend to agree that .A. business and the marketplace should play a bigger role in economy.B. the U. S. economy is excessively regulated by the government.C. free market should be greatly encouraged to boost the U. S. economyD. the wage gap between men and women might be caused by the gender difference43. According to de Rugy, the difference between her and liberals is .A. their attitudes towards government interventionB. the goals they hope to achieveC. how to reducer poverty and improve health careD. the role of government in economy44. Which Excerpt discusses the difference of male and female economists in the relationship with their profession?A. Excerpt 2.B. Excerpt 3.C. Excerpt 6.D.

Everybody eats to live. The food we eat gives us energy to grow, work, play and keep us warm and healthy. If we didn’t eat anything for a day, we would feel hungry and weak. If we didn’t eat anything for a longer time, we would die. Therefore, food is vital to our life.Unfortunately, there is a serious shortage of food in many parts of the world. Due to the natural disasters and poor land, some countries cannot harvest enough grain for their people. We often hear form radio or TV that African countries suffer from starvation from time to time. Even in our country, food shortage is still a great threat to our nation.However, there are some ways to solve this problem. First, more attention should be drawn from the public and all the governments to food shortage. All the countries should put more money into the agriculture. Second, advanced technology should be accepted, and new kinds of grain plants should be cultivated and introduced to these countries which are short of food. Finally, rich countries should help the poor develop the agriculture and produce more food. In this way the food problem can be tackled.。

Choose the best one and mark your answer on the ANSWER SHEET.Passage OneTeachers using red pen to mark students’ work could be harming their psyche as the color is too aggressive, according to education strategies drafted by an Australian state government.The “Good Mental Health Rocks” kit, which was distributed this month to about 30 schoolsin Queensland state, offers strategies such as “Don’t mark in red pen (which can be seen as aggressive) ---- Use a different color.”Other tips include structuring time for peer totoring every day, apologizing to students when necessary and asking students to conduct a “personal skills audit”where they focus on their individual strengths rather than their weaknesses.The kit, designed to help Queensland teachers address mental health in the classroom, suggests that social and emotional wellbing has been linked to young peple’s schooling, among other things.The education aid has sparked a row in parliament, with deputy opposition leader Mark McArdle calling it “kooky, loony, loopy lefty policies.”But Health Minister Stephen Robertson, whose department devised the kit, said youth suicide was a serious issue.“If mental health professionals determine that as one of a number of strategies teachers should consider, then I’ll support them every day of the week,” he told reporters recently. “This is not a matter for ridicule, this is serious.”Accordintg to some Australian mental health groups, the greatest number of people with mental illness are aged between 18 and 24 years, with 14 percent of Australian children and adolescents suffering from some sort of illness.Boys are slighly moe likely to experience nental halth problems than girls and depression is one of the most common conditions in young people and increases during adolescence, the website of mental health group Mindframe said.(21) Teachers are advised not to mark students’ work in red pen because .A. red color is too eye-catchingB. it may hurt students’ feelingsC. it is against the state lawD. colors are too aggressive(22) Which of the following is NOT offered as an education strategy?A.

Scientists have identified a “sleepless elite” ---- a small group of people for whom a lie-in is a waste of time.Rather than being tired, bad-tempered under-achieers, they are an energetic, outgoing and optimistic group who can happily and healthily get by on just four or five hours of shut-eye a night.If that were not irritating enough, they tend to be slim, able to hold down two jobs at the same time, and breeze through their extra-long days without needing caffeine pick-me-ups (咖啡因提神物) or cat naps.Working out how the gene cuts sleep without any obvious impact on health could help in the design of drugs that give us all a few extra hours in our day.The bad news is that while many of us get by on a few hours’ sleep a night, just one to three people in 100 qualify to be part of the sleepless elite.The research team is now appealing for members of the lucky group to come forward to allow their DNA to be studied.University of California researcher Y ing-Hui Fu said: “My long-term goal is to someday learn enough so we can manipulate the sleep pathways without damaging our health. Everybody can use more waking hours, even if you just watch movies.”Many of those who have already volunteered share fascinating characteristics. They are thinner than average, relentlessly upbeat (兴奋) and seem to hav a high tolerance for physical pain and ;sychological set-backs.Researcher Dr. Christopher Jones told the Wall Street Journal: “Typically, at the end of a long-structured phone interview, they will admit they have been texting and surfing the Internet and doing crossword puzzles at the same time, all on less than six hours of sleep.”(27) Which of the following could be the title of this passage?A. The Sleepless EliteB. The Impact of Sleep on HealthC. A New Research on SleepD. Manipulation of Sleep Pathways(28) According to this passage, the sleepless elite .A. regard any sleep as a waste of time.B. are often tired and bad-tempered.C. perform less well than they usually doD. sleep less yet remain energetic.(29) It is stated in the passage that the sleepless elite .A. find themselves easy to become angryB. have their way to keep a good shapeC. can do two jobs well in the meantimeD. depend heavily on coffee to refresh themselves.(30) Which of the following is NOT true according to the passage?A. Researchers are trying to find out the secrets to the sleepless elite.B. Few people qualify to be a member of the sleepless elite group.C. Drugs are available to give people a few extra hours in a day.D. It is useful to study how to cut sleep without damaging our health.(31) The phrase “come forward” (Para. 6) most probably means “”.A. volunteerB. qualifyC. contributeD. donate(32) Which of the following is a shared feature of the sleepless elite?A. They are much thinner than most people.B. They ignore all physical and emotional pains.C. They surf the Internet almost six hours a day.D. They always think positive in face of difficulties.Passage ThreeMost people think women are more affected when a relationship hits a rocky patch. According to a new study on over 1,000 break-ups, it is the opposite. Research from the Wake Forest Universtiy in the USA suggests men have a much harder time dealing with the low points. Lead researcher Robin Simon said: “Common wisdom says that women are more hurt by problems in a relationship, but we found that the disadvantages of strain are exagerated for the men.”She added: “Men are more sensitive than we often think they are.”Simon and her co-researchers discovered that men often put a brave face on problems they have with their partner but inside, they feel more emotional pain than women.The research also showed how differently men and women dealt with problems. Women show their feeling more by crying and talking about how they feel. Men find this hard to do because they need to be “masculine” and men don’t cry. Instead, they turn to the bottle or look for escape by using drugs. Ms. Simon said the more relationship problems a guy went through, the more likely he was to become dependent on alcohol or drugs. They make the pain go away through substance abuse rather than talking. Simon said things are changing and that more and more men are opening up. She said guys these days are more likely to have divorced parents and “this might make them more sensitive to the ups and downs of a relationship”and be more emotionally aware.(33) Which of the following best expresses the main idea of the passage?A. Men are hurt more in rocky relationshipsB. Women are hurt more in marriage break-ups.C. Men and women are equally hurt in break-ups.D. Women are more emotionally aware than men.(34) What does the phrase “a rocky patch” at the beginning of the passage mean?A. A bad mood.B. A difficult timeC. A senstive periodD. A mountaineering accident(35) According to the lead researcher, .A. women have more difficulty dealing with break-ups.B. men are very insensitive to emotional problemsC. men try to cover up their real emotionsD. women are more sensitive than previously thought(36) It is stated in the passage that men deal with emotional problems .A. in the same way as womenB. with tears and sadnessC. by breaking bottles into piecesD. by using alcohol and drugs(37) Which of the following is NOT true according to the passage?A. Men drink alcohol to escape from emotional pain.B. There is a link between break-ups and drug use.C. Divorced men are more sensitive nowadays.D. Guys these days are more emotionally aware.Passage FourThe New York Times has reported on a problem that many of us have but are not aware of ---- Internet addiction. According to reporter Tara Parker-Pope, millions of us are addicted to being online. She says this is a growing problem that is making us more forgetful and impatient. Ms. Parker-Pope writes about various reprots highlighting how technology is changing people. In one, she quotes cyber-psychologist Dr. Elias Aboujaode who says: “More and more, life is resembling the chat room.”He said we are living in “virtual lifestyles”which are negatively affecting our real-life relationships. Nicki Dowling, a clinical psychologist from Melbourne University in Australia, concluded in a recent study that 10 percent of young people had what she called “Internet dependence.”Tara Parker-Pope quizzed experts in this field on what the signs are of being overly absorbed in technology. She came up with seven indicators of “tech overload.”The first is whether you check your e-mail before doing other things. Another telltale sign is if you always anticipate and look forward to your next online visit ---- a sure sign of dependence and addiction. The third point is if you say, “just a few more minutes”when someone wants you. Parker-Pope found your interaction with others also says a lot about how important the Internet is, compared with your family and friends. Do you lie about how much time you spend online or choose to surf the Net instead of going out with others? Other giveaways include the “online lift” that stops you being unhappy, and when others complain about you always being online.(38) Which of the following can be the title of this passage?A. Internet Addiction ---- A Growing ProblemB. V irtual Lifestyles in Chat RoomsC. Indictators of Internet DependenceD. Importance of the Internet(39) According to Tara Parker-Pope, millions of people .A. have realized the problem of Internet addictionB. are unable to stop their habit of staying onlineC. have become more patient and careful onlineD. welcome the changes brought about by technology(40) What does Dr. Elias Aboujaode think of the virtual lifestyles that we are living in?A. They change the place where people talk.B. They make people dependent more on the Internet.C. They have negative effect on real-life relationships.D. They make more people interested in online studies.(41) Which of the following is NOT a sign of Internet addiction?A. Checking e-mail before doing anything else.B. Expecting all the time the next online visit.C. Surfing the Net instead of going out with others.D. Preferring the company of family and friends.Section BDirections:In this section, you are required to read several excepts from newspapers and/or magazines. These excerpts are followed by four questions or unfinished statement, each with four suggested answers A, B, C and D. Choose the best one and mark your answer on the ANSWER SHEET.Excerpt 1:Sales of e-readers surged during the Christmas holiday season, according to a Pew Research Center report, which showed that the number of adults in the United States who owned tablets nearly doubled from mid-December to early January.Excerpt 2:Apple, based in Cupertino, California, controls 73 percent of the market, while Samsung Electronics Co., Sony Corp. and Toshiba Corp. are among companies making constant improvements on tablets without bringing services that cut into the market share. Sarah Rotman Epps, an analyst at Forrester, said in the report.Excerpt 3:Under Square’s year-long pilot program, and iPad would be installed in the space where Taxi TVs currently sit, and the driver would have an iPhone to process credit-card payments. The technology would allow drivers to accept a passenger’s card at any point during the ride, then enter the amount later. The system charges drivers lell in credit card transaction fees than thecurrent rates.Excerpt 4:When Apple introduced the iPad tablet computer in 2010, it was doing what it likes to do best: creating a new category to dominate, as it had done with the iPod and iPhone. By the end of the year, the company had sold nearly 15 million iPads, generating about $9.5 billion in revenue.Just two years later, the chief executive of Apple, Timothy D. Cook, has a prediction: the day will come when tablet devices like the Apple iPad outsell traditonal personal computers.Excerpt 5:Apple has made its first attempt to quantify how many American jobs can be credited to the sale of its iPads and other products, a group that includes the Apple engineers who desigh the devices and the drivers who deliver them ---- even the people who build the trucks that get there.On Friday, the company published the results of a study it commissioned saying that it had “created or supported” 514,000 American jobs. The study is an effort to show that Apple’s benefit to the American job market goes far beyond the 47,000 people it directly employs here.Excerpt 6:People who read e-books on tablets like the iPad are realizing that while a book on a blank-and-white Kindle is straightforward and immersive, a tablet offers a menu of distractions that can fragment the reading experience, or stop it in its tracks.e-mail lurkes tantalizingly within reach. Looking up a tricky word or unknown fact in the book is easily accomplished through a quick Google search. And if a book starts to drag, giving up on it to stream a movie over Netflix or scroll through your Twitter feed is only a few taps away.(42) What is said about Apple Inc. with its tablet devices like iPads?A. It doubled its sale of e-readers during the Christmas season.B. It controls 73 percent of the tablet device market.C. It charges customers less in credit card transaction fees.D. It has long been selling its traditional personal computers.(43) Which of the following choices involves the creation of tablet devices and its possiblereplacement of Taxi TVs?A. Excerpt 1 and Except 5B. Excerpt 3 and Except 4C. Excerpt 2 and Except 6D.

The doctor loosened the man’s collar and after examining him thoroughly, he told the guard that the man was unconscious and would have to be taken to a hospital. When he heard this, the guard answered that the express train could not be stopped without first informing the station-master o the main-line station which was nearly fifty miles away. Meanwhile, the man’s condition gradually got worse.There seemed to be no way of sending a message until the guard had the idea of throwing a not onto the platform of a small village station as the train flashed past. Fortunately, someone picked the note up and telephoned the main-line station. This was a strange way of sending a message, but it worked.
