Since then, innumerable children 32 in front of the set. However, many people now worry about the effect of TV on the young. They wonder there had never been 33 invention. Why are they soafraid? Is television really harmful?Like almost anything else, television has its good as well as its bad sides. It has 34 joyand interest into the lives of the old, the sick, and the lonely. Without it, some of these people would have little pleasure and no window 35 the world.Unfortunately, some television programs have been extremely harmful to the young. Children do not have enough 36 . They do not realize that TV programs often show an unreal world. Commercials lie in order to sell products that are sometimes bad or useless. Children believe them and want to 37 what they see on TV. They believe that they will make more friends if they use a certain soap—or some other product. They believe that the murders on TV 38 are normal and acceptable. By the time they are out of high school, most young people have watched about 15,000 hours of television, and have seen about 18,000 violent 39 . If they see violent deaths every day, how can they be shocked by murder in real life?Television has certainly changed our lives and our society. 40 its good points, it has brought many problems. We must find a solution to these problems because—whether we like it or not—television is here to stay.31-35：DCCDB 36A 37:imitate 38：A 39：B 40：D31. A. brought B. took C. did D. made32.

And even if a person is poor he doesn’t feel really poor 42 he has a car.There are three main reasons the car became so popular in the United States. 43 of all the country is a huge one and Americans like to move around in it. The car provides the most comfortable and 44 form of transportation. With a car people can go any place without spending a lot of money.The second reason cars are popular is the fact 45 the United States never developed an efficient and inexpensive form of public 46 . Long-distance trains have never been as common in the United States as they are in other parts of the world. Nowadays there is a good system of air-service 47 by planes. But it is too expensive to be used frequently.The third reason is the most important one, though. The American spirit of independence is 48 really made cars popular. Americans d on’t like to wait for a bus, or a train or even a plane. They don’t like to have to 49 an exact schedule. A car gives them the freedom to schedule their own time. And this is the freedom that Americans want 50 to have. 41-45：ABACB 46-50：DCBAB41. A. Without a car B. Not with a car C. Without no car D. With not a car42. A. although B. when C. whether D. but43.

Reading ComprehensionSection A:There are 2 passages in this section. Each passage is followed by some true-false questions. Decide whether each of them is true (T) or false (F).Passage 1In the old days, divers used to go down into the sea looking for ships that had sunk, because they hoped to find gold and jewels. Now divers still search for valuable things in sunken ships, but they also try to bring to the surface the ships themselves, or parts of them. The value of different kinds of metals has increased greatly over the last twenty or thirty years and even though a ship has been under the sea for many years, it may be worth a great deal.One famous sunken ship is the "Lusitania", which sank off the southern coast of Ireland in 1915 with a loss of nearly 1500 lives. It has four huge propellers made of an expensive metal. Today each of those propellers is worth $300,000 or more. The ship, lying on the sea-bed has been bought by a man called John Light. He paid about $1,200,000 for the whole ship. He hopes to bring up those propellers and sell them. He also hopes to sell other parts of the ship, when he has brought them to the surface, for about $ 600,000.T51. Divers try to bring up metals because some kinds of them are worth a lot of money.T52. Now divers still search for valuable things and try to bring to the earth surface the ships themselves.F53. John Light hopes he may be able to sell the whole ship of “Lusitania” for more than $1.5 million.F54. The ship “Lusitania” sank off the southwestern coast of Ireland with a lot of people drowned. F55. In the past, divers hoped to bring up everything of a sunken ship except metals.Passage 2More and more people today are realizing the importance of regular physical exercise. In the past, work for most people involved manual labor in the fresh open air of the fields. However, nowadays an increasing number of people are employed in offices or factories. Their daily work does not provide them with the amount of exercise their bodies need. Therefore, they have come to spend part of their free time doing regular physical exercise.There are many different forms of exercise to suit different tastes. For example, those who enjoy competitive sports may take up ball games. Those who prefer to exercise alone can have a run or take a walk in the morning or in the evening. Besides, people can go swimming in summerand go skating in winter. In short, no matter what their interests are, people can always find one or more sports that are suitable to them.However, the form of physical exercise must be chosen carefully. More harm than good will result if people choose the wrong form of exercise. For the aged, Qigong or Tai Ji Quan will suit them better than competitive sports. Those who have little spare time may have a regular run in the morning. Only if the kind of exercise is chosen properly and performed regularly, willit benefit people’s health, work and study.T56. Nowadays, more people realize the importance of physical exercise.F57. It is unnecessary to take some exercise every day.T58. People who enjoy competitive sports may take up basketball or football.F59. Physical exercise can do more harm than good to people because they will feel tired after it. T60.People can always find one or more sports that benefit their health, work and study.IV. Translate the following sentences into Chinese.61. He answered me, but he spoke neither slowly nor clearly.他回答了我，但是他说的既不慢也不清楚。

The object of the game is to carry forward or pass (that is, throw from one person to another) the football across the opponent’s goal or scoring line. He who has not attended a large college football game has missed one of the most colourful sides of American college life.Excellent high school football players are usually encouraged to come to a college or university by offers of scholarship and free room and board.Attendance at football games is so large that it is not unheard of for a college or university to provide money for its sport from ticket sales.36.

They worry because they can’t remember words. In fact，the problem usually isn’t with their memory. The problem is with how they study.To remember words better，you need to understand how memory works. There are two kinds of memory: short-term and long-term. When you see，hear，or read something，it goes first into short-term memory. But short-term memory lasts for only a few seconds. You will only remember something longer if it goes into long-term memory. Your long-term memory is like a very big library with many，many books. And like a library，it’s organized（有条理的）. When you putaway a book-or memory-you can’t just leave it anywhere. You have to choose a place where you can find it again.How can you do this with vocabulary？The answer is to work with the word and think about the word in new ways. You can do this by writing new sentences that include it. Even better，you can invent a little story about the word，with people or places that you know. Another way is to make a picture in your mind with the word. For example，if the word is height，you can think of the tallest person you know and try to guess his or her height. All of these activities are good ways to think about words. They make the meaning of words stronger in your long-term memory. And they give a way to find a word when you need it.1. In the writer’s opinion，students can’t remember words because _______.A. they have memory problemsB. they are too worriedC. they don’t use a proper wayD. they don’t like to study2. Which is TRUE about memory according to the passage？A. Short-term memory is seldom used.B. What we see goes into long-term memory first.C. We will forget a word soon if it goes into short-term memory.D. We will never forget a word if it goes into long-term memory.3. The underlined（划线的）part in Paragraph 2 means long-term memory ________.A. keeps many books like a large libraryB. works like a well-organized libraryC. provides any book you wantD. leaves memory anywhere4. Which is one example of“thinking about the word in new ways in Paragraph 3？A. Making sentences with the word.B. Listening to some familiar stories.C. Talking with people that you know.D. Drawing pictures of the word on paper.5. This passage mainly tells us about ________.A. language students’ problems in studyB. how to make the meaning of words strongerC. short-term and long-term memoryD. how to improve ways to remember wordsThis is my first year attending Wilson Middle School. Last year I went to a differentmiddle school. Over the summer my father got a new job, so our whole family moved. Now I go to Wilson.I want to make some comments based on my unique perspective as someone who has attended two different middle schools. For example, I was surprised by all the complaints that the students at Wilson make about the food in the cafeteria. Either they don’t like it, or they want more choices. But I like the food. The dishes are pretty tasty. And as for choices, at the school I went to last year there were never more than two lunch options each day. Sometimes there was only one!However, I don’t want anyone to think that I have a negative opinion of the Wilson students. Actually, I have been impressed with how involved the students here are. I plan to participate in some of the special clubs here that are organized by students, like the photography club and the hiking club. At my last school, students were not as actively involved in forming clubs.6. Why is the author a student at Wilson Middle School?A Because his family recently movedB Because his father is a teacher thereC Because it is the best school in the areaD Because he just completed primary school7. In the second paragraph, the word perspective is closest in meaning to _______.A cause and effectB back and forthC out of dateD point of view8. In the second paragraph, the word “one” refers to _______.A dayB schoolC optionD cafeteria9. Why does the author like the food at Wilson Middle School?A It tastes good.B It is very healthful.C The servings are large.D Students help to make it.10. What does the author imply about the students at his previous school compared to students at Wilson Middle School?A They did better in their studies.B They planned fewer activities.C They belonged to sports clubs.D They gave him more help.Passage 3Cricket—how I detested this game when I was young! My family would spend hours and hours watching it on television while I angrily waited for it to end. Every game seemed the same. Yes, one team won and the other one lost, but it was always the same game—some men pitching a ball, some running back and forth.Then something happened. I became old enough to start playing cricket myself withthe other kids in my neighborhood. We found a place to play wherever we could put up a wicket. We played on the street, in the backyard—even on the tops of buildings, believe it or not!I can recall so clearly the sounds of the ball hitting the bat and the quick running feet. I can still feel the sun on my face as I played and the bruises and scratches from falling down. I can still see the blue sky fading to darkness behind the buildings as our games continued into the night. It became my favorite thing in the world. Now I watch it not with anger, but with fond memories of the endless days and nights spent playing the game.11. What title best summarizes the main idea of the passage?A Cricket: A Game for All AgesB How I Learned to Love CricketC The Dangers of Playing CricketD Learning the Rules of a Difficult Game12 . In the first paragraph, the word detested is closest in meaning to _______.A hatedB playedC wantedD watched13.

Each passage is followed by some questions or unfinished statements. For each of them are four choices marked A), B), C), and D). You should decide on the best choice and mark the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet with a single line through the center.Questions31 to 35 are based on the following passage:What makes a person a scientist? Does he have ways ---or tools ---of learning that are different from those of those others? The answer is no. It is not the tools a scientist uses but how he uses these tools that makes him a scientist. You will probably agree that knowing how to use a power saw is important to a carpenter. You will probably agree, too, that knowing how to investigate, how to discover information, is important to everyone. The scientist, however, goes one step further: he must be sure that he has a reasonable answer to his question and that his answer can be confirmed by other persons. He also works to fit the answers he gets to many questions into a large set of ideas about how the world works.Th e scientist’s knowledge must be exact. There is no room for half right or right just half the time. He must be as nearly right as the condition permit. What works under one set of conditionsat one time must work under the same conditions at other times. If the conditions are different, any changes the scientist observes in a demonstration must be explained by the changes in the conditions. This is one reason that investigations are important in science. Albert Einstein, who developed the theory of relativity, arrived at this theory through mathematics. The accuracy of his mathematics was latter tested through investigation. Einstein’s ideas were shown to be correct. A scientist uses many tools for measurement. Then the measurements are used to make mathematical calculations that may test his investigations.31. Albert Einstein built up his theory of relatively through .A. investigationB. experimentsC. testsD. mathematics32. A sound scientific theory should be one that .A. works under one set of conditions at one time and also works under the same conditions at other timesB. leaves no room for improvementC. does not allow any change even under different conditionsD. can be used for many purposes33. “…Knowing how to investigate, how to discovered information, is important to everyone.” The author says this to show .A. the importance of informationB. the importance of thinkingC. the difference between scientists and ordinary peopleD. the difference between carpenters and ordinary people34. What is the main idea of the passage?A. Scientists are different from ordinary people.B. The theory of relativity.C. Exactness is the core of science.D. Exactness and way of using tools are the key to the making of a scientist.35. What, according to the passage, makes a scientist?A. The tools he uses.B. His ways of learning.C. The way he uses his tools.D. The various tools he uses.Questions 36 to 40 are based on the following passage:Youth is not a matter of time but a matter of self-improvement，both physically and morally. Being a good youth，one should have those factors：the basic one is health. A healthy body is a kind of priceless treasure. One can do nothing without it. Secondly，we should pay essential attention to our moral character. We should be always willing to help those in trouble without any complaints. Moreover，we should care more about the people around us. Thirdly，cooperation and communication also play an important role in being a good youth. No one can live alone without any friends. And nobody can work out every problem without help of partners. So the youth should and must learn how to live and work well with others，including those people you don’t like to cooperate or communicate with. The last but not the least，patriotism，meaning a love of one’s country，is the one we should never forget. People always misunderstand the word “patriots” by thinking it only refers to those fighters who fight for their country. As a matter of fact，a patriot will do the things his country asks him to do. So being a youth is one thing，being a good one really needs to take every effort to make yourself to be.36. A good youth should help others _________.A. willinglyB. at his convenienceC. if he wants toD. with complaints37. In the author’s opinion，the patriots must ________ .A. fight for the countryB. learn everythingC. do what their country needs them to doD. protect their family and country38. From the passage，we can know that cooperation and communication are ______.A. good for some introvertsB. helpful to usC. important to everyoneD. not necessary to good friends39. The passage really wants to tell us that ________.A. what the meaning of “patriots” isB. the qualities a good youth should haveC. a youth should be doing goodD. one should help others40. The first thing a good youth should have is ___________.A. the best lookingB. the best richesC. the good abilityD. a healthy bodyQuestions41 to 45 are based on the following passage:In England and Wales alone, over 7,000 people each year die in home accidents. Old people have special safety problems. Falling a is potential hazard: for example, 1,468 women over 75 in England and Wales died in the one year after falling—not downstairs, but on the same level. There are a number of ways of guarding against this: avoiding hard things on the floor, like steel fenders and knobby furniture, avoiding trip-traps like rug edges, door mats and trailing wires, using special non-slip polishes for floors, if they can’t be carpeted, above all, making sure there is enough light. The older you get, the more light you need to see properly. An old person may need four or five times as much light as a child to see as clearly, even wearing spectacles. It is rare to find a home with enough light, especially in corridors and on stairs. Stairs, for example, fatally trip 700 to 800 people a year, most of them old. A 60-watt bulb just is not bright enough.Young children, too, have special problems. Nearly 200 are accidentally smothered(使窒息) each year in bed. Many of the hundreds of cases of accidental poisoning each year are of children, and the commonest source of all fires in the home is a child playing with fire or with matches. The government tried every possible means to prevent them from happening.41. What is the main subject of the passage?A) Safety problem for the old.B) Falling is the fatal cause of death for the old.C) Ways of guarding against falling.D) Children’s problems.42. According to the passage, the floor for the old should be .A) smooth but not too slipperyB) polished with some special non-slip polishesC) carpetedD) both A and B43. Which of the following statements in NOT true?A) The author provides a lot of details about the problems of the old.B) The author lays much emphasis on the details so as to bring out the importance in ways of preventing the old from falling.C) The problems of children are not fully discussed as those of the old.D) Children’s problems, comparatively speaking, are more serious than the old’s.44. According to the passage, which of the following is true?A) People pay enough attention to lighting their rooms, especially the corridors and the stairs.B) Corridors and stairs are usually dimmer than rooms.C) People pay less attention to giving enough light to the corridors and stairs, let alone the rooms.D) A 60-watt bulb is just bright enough.45. The tone the author used in this passage is .A) subjectiveB) objectiveC) heavily-biased towards the oldD) authoritativePart ⅢClose (20%)Directions: There are 20 blanks in the following passage. For each blank there are four choices marked A), B), C), D). You should choose the ONE that best fits into the passage. Then mark the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet with a single line through the center.One day, drought may be a thing of the past at least in coastal cities. Vast areas of desert throughout the world may for the first time __46__ to life and provide millions of acres of __47__ where now nothing grows.By the end of this century this may not be mere __48__. Scientists are already looking for the __49__ of using some of the available ice in the polar regions. In these regions there are vast ice-caps formed by snow __50__ over the past 50,000 years. Layer __51__ layer of deep snow means that, when melted, the snow water would be pure, not salty __52__ sea-ice would be. There is so much potential pure water here __53__ it would need only a fraction of it to turn much of the desert or poorly irrigated parts of the world __54__ rich farmland. And what useful packages it would come in! It should be __55__ to cut off a bit of ice and transport it!__56__ perhaps a passing iceberg could be captured. They are always breaking away from the main caps __57__ around, pushed by currents, until they eventually melt and are wasted. Many icebergs are, of course, far too __58__ to be towed any distance, and would melt before they reached a country that needed them anywhere. It would be necessary to __59__ one that was manageable and that was big enough to provide a good supply of ice when it __60__ us. Engineers think that an iceberg up to seven miles long and one a half miles wide could be transported __61__ the tug pulling it was as big as a supertanker!

It has rich natural resources and people are friendly.I lived there till I left home for a senior high school in Himeji at the age of 17. I had ten brothers and sisters, and I was the fifth child. Growing up in a lively family taught me competition and cooperation. For example, when my mother placed a bamboo basket filled with green soybean s on the table, everyone’s hands would instantly reach out. If you didn’t pay attention, you would eat nothing. So I learned the spirit of free competition as a small child. And yet at the same time, my mother told us to be polite when addressing each othe r by adding “Mr. or Mrs.” to the end of names.I keep the memory of my hometown in mind. I still remember the time when weenjoyed the festival at hometown. I am grateful that I was born and grew up in Nakajo-machi.41.

And the way we meet and greet them creates an impression. It’s important to do so in a proper way, no matter whether you are introducing yourself to someone, or introducing two people to each other. To keep you aware of this, we have gathered tips on how to make a proper introduction.First, always stand when making an introduction. When you are seated and someone comes up to greet you, make the effort to stand up. By doing this, you show respect for yourself and for the other person.Second, always maintain eye contact while making an introduction. Many people are not aware of the value of this simple action. When you make eye contact you are giving a confident image.What if you find yourself in a situation where you have forgotten the other person’s name? Start with a handshake and reintroduce yourself. By doing this, you will usually cause the other person to do the same.However, if the other person does not take your suggestion, it is OK simply to apologize and let the person know that you cannot remember her or his name. This is not the ideal situation, of course, but it does happen to all of us. The other person should be forgiving.46. According to the passage, people will think you are _______ if you don’t makeeye contact with them.A. dishonestB. unconfidentC. uncomfortableD. unfriendly47. When introducing your former classmate Mike to your teacher Mary Bush, youshould say“________”A. Hi, Mary Bush is my teacher, the most important person.B. Mike, do you want to know my teacher’s name?C. Hello. This is Mike and this is Mary.D. Ms. Bush, may I introduce to you Mike, my former classmate?48. If you forget the other person’s name, you’d better ________.A. directly ask for the person’s nameB. apologize first and then ask him/herC. shake hands with the person and reintroduce yourselfD. give advice to the person for him/her to follow49. Which of the following statements is not true?A. Stand when making an introduction.B. Maintain eye contact while making an introduction.C.

Hundreds of thousands of people gather in the cold. They crowd together and wait for midnight. It feels like a huge party.The people count down the final seconds. “Ten…nine…eight…” All eyes watch a huge glass ball as it slides down a pole on top of a tall building. Someone in the crowd says it looks like a bright piece of snow. Someone else says it looks like thousands of stars. This is a famous Times Square tradition.When the ball reaches bottom, it is twelve o'clock. People shout “Happy New Year!”. There is lots of excitement. More than a ton of confetti（五彩纸屑）, little pieces of paper, rains down on the crowd.The crowd does its duty and tries to sing "Auld Lang Syne," a traditional song offriendship at the New Year. Most people only know the first few words. The song is pretty much a mystery. But a fun mystery.People arrive in Times Square while it is still daylight. After dark, at about six o’clock, the New Year’s Eve ball is raised to its highest position. By this time thousands of people are gathered for the celebration ahead.They ooh and aah when the thousands of little lights in the ball come on. Then everyone waits for midnight.

Americans arrange the table and food for the number of guests they have invited.Americans are particular about time. But they do not expect you to come “on time”, rather 15 minutes later than the time specified. For instance, if you are invited to come at six, the host will expect you no earlier than that time and probably no later than fifteen minutes after six.It is an American custom to show guests around the house, but they do not expect you to touch everything you see. If you are interested in something you see, you should ask for permission to touch it.At the table, conversation is general, but you should comment about how good the food is. If you truly do not like the food, you may say something about how nice it looks or ask how it is prepared.Except on a very formal occasion, it is all right to help yourself to more food. Do not wait to be helped every time you finish something. If you truly want something, do not say “No” for the sake of politeness.56. The best title for this passage is _____.A. Arranging for MealsB.

For each question or statement there are 4 choices marked A), B), C) and D). You should make the correct choice and mark the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet.People in the United States like to entertain people at home. They invite friends for a meal, a party or even a cup of tea. Sometimes, however, people use expressions that sound like an invitation, but actually are not. For example, "Please come over for a drink sometime." In fact, it is only just a polite way of ending a conversation. It is not a real invitation, because it does not contain a specific time or date. It just shows that the person who is speaking is friendly. So whenyou hear what sounds like an invitation, listen carefully.When you accept or reject an invitation, it is polite to show pleasure at receiving the invitation. When you cannot accept the invitation, it is better to offer a vague excuse, such as an appointment with a certain friend, some other work to do or a prior engagement.31. People in the U.S. love to entertain people ______.A) at a snack bar B) at home C) in a restaurant D) in a hotel32. A real invitation must include ______.A) a menu for the dinnerB) a name list of all the guestsC) a specific time or and dateD) what you should the kind of dress for the occasion to wear33. It's polite for you to give ______ when you decline an invitation.A) a good reason B) a formal reason C) a personal reason D) vague excuse34. It's normal to show ______ when you decline an invitation.A) disappointment B) discouragement C) disbelief D) disagreement35. An expression sounding like an invitation is often used because it's a good way of ______.A) ending a conversation B) showing friendshipC) being hospitable D) being friendlyTask 2 (10 points)Directions:This task is the same as Task 1. The 5 questions or unfinished statements are numbered 36 through 40.Modern techniques have provided us with various means (方式) of traveling. If you like traveling, you can always do it one way or another.If you have a bike, you can travel cheaply. In a short distance you can ride as freely as you like without getting too tired.A car usually runs much faster than a bike does. But it can be slower sometimes. If you drive in rush hours you may have to wait a long time without moving an inch. In that case the car could be the slowest and most boring means of transport (交通) of all.If you want to travel more comfortably, you had better take a train. A train can take you to a distant place in a shorter time than a car can. While you are sitting comfortably in the train, you can enjoy the beauty of the countryside. At the s ame time you’ll feel yourself closer to life, and a new strength flowing into your body. What an exciting experience!If you want to go across the seas, you can go by ship or by air. Although a ship goes a lot slower, it costs much less. That’s a big advantage. What’s more, during a long voyage, you can make as many friends as you wish, and you’ll get much healthier.The quickest but perhaps the most expensive way to travel is by plane. A plane can take you anywhere in the shortest possible time. You can get down to work as soon as you get off the plane. If you’re on an urgent business, the best way of traveling is certainly by plane.36.The easiest way to travel short distances is ____.A) on foot B) by bike C) by train D) by plane37.In rush hours cars can ____.A) be kept waiting for a long time B) go through the busy streets as usualC) run without stopping D) take the place of buses38.To travel long distances comfortably and enjoy the beauty of the countryside, you had bettertake ____.A) a bus B) a plane C) a train D) a ship39.The advantage of a ship is that ____.A) it goes a lot slower B) it costs much lessC) it can help you make friends D) both B and C40.Taking a plane is perhaps ____.A) the quickest way of traveling B) the cheapest way of travelingC) the most expensive way of traveling D) both A and CTask 3 (10 points)Directions: The following are classified ads. After reading it you should give brief answers to the 5 questions (No. 41 through No. 45) that follow. The answers should be written after the corresponding numbers on the Answer Sheet.Job-hunting Myths (误区)“Don’t defeat yourself by accepting common myths,”says the head of an international company.Myth 1: If there’s nothing available in your fields, change careers.Fact 1: That’s one of the worst things you can do. You compete against others with experience, and you will not approach your old salary level on a new job.Myth 2: Lower your salary demands. You’ll be more attractive to employers in an uncertain economy.Fact 2: People who ask for less are viewed as “low property”. If you are considered anything less than first-class, you are not likely to be hired.Myth 3: If you are over 50, it will be very hard to find another job.Fact 3: Workers over 50 win new jobs almost as quickly as youngsters do. Today’s employers place a premium (额外价值) on experience.Myth 4: Bring up salary as quickly as possible in the first interview.Fact 4: That’s a fast way to be removed from consideration. It tells employers you are more concerned with yourself than with the company.Myth5: You can only get interviews between 9 a.m. and 5 p.m. on weekdays.Fact 5: Employers are often available before and after regular hours when the office is quieter. If you get an interview then, you’ve got an employer’s concentrated attention.41. What is the disadvantage of changing your career?You will not reach _________________________________.42.

Write your translation in the corresponding space on the Answer Sheet.46. In the traditional classroom, the students are told what to do. There is a list of things that thestudents must do to finish the class. There are rules made by the teacher that the students must follow, even if the students see no reason for the rules.47. Small families and large business firms prepare the holiday differently. Stores are decoratedwith the traditional Christmas colors of green and red. Goods associated with Christmas become best sellers at this time. Many Americans take advantage of the time to earn extra money by selling Christmas cards, small gifts and ornaments, etc.48. “I couldn’t see anyone eating with pleasure,” says Guiliano (古丽阿诺). “Food is one of thebest pleasures in life. We should not eat like we’re robots. It’s not like eating. It’s like stuffing yourself.”And that, she says, is the difference between the way the French and Americans view food. And it explains in part why Americans struggle more with their weight than theFrench do. Perhaps it’s time for the French women’s diet.Section B (10 points)Directions: This part, numbered 49 through 53, is to test your ability to translate Chinese into English. Write your translation in the corresponding space on the Answer Sheet.49. 当你相信学生能对自己所做的事负责时，你就很可能会允许他们自己决定该做什么。

After reading the passages carefully you will find 5 questions or unfinished statements. For each question or statement there are 4 choices marked A, B, C and D. You should make the correct choice and mark the corresponding letter with a single line through the center.Passage 1People are often killed while crossing the road. Most of them are old people and children. Old people are often killed because they usually can’t see or hear very well. Children are often killed because they are careless. People should look and listen before they cross the road.A car, truck or bus can’t stop very quickly if it is going very fast. It will travel many meters before it stops. Pedestrians(行人) don’t always know this. They think a car can stop right away. The faster a car is traveling, the longer it takes to stop. It’s very difficult for a pedestrian to know how fast a car is traveling.The only safe way to cross the road is to look at both ways, right and left.The correct way to cross the road is to walk quickly when the traffic lights turn green. It’s not safe to run.21. ___________ are often killed while crossing the road.A. Only old peopleB. Only childrenC. Old people and childrenD. Old women22. The word careless means _____________.A. carefulB. not carefulC. caringD. careful enough23. It is for a driver to stop his car right away if he drives very fast.A. easyB. simpleC. badD. difficult24.

To cross the road you should walk quickly while the traffic lights are green.D. Cars should not stop when old people are crossing the street.Passage 2No form of thinking is more interesting than dreams. “Brain Wave” machines have shown that dreams last only two to ten seconds. Yet they may tell a story that seems to take hours or even days. Some dreams can be explained by feelings of the moment. A dry throat might make us dream about the Sahara Desert. The sudden buzzing(嗡嗡的响声) of a flying thing might become an airplane. Dreams can tell much more about people. Important dreams show our wishes and our worries. Sometimes it is difficult to understand why an expert on dreams may hold that a struggle in on e’s dream to climb up a hill means he is afraid that he will not reach his aims. He may say that our dreams about flying without wings means that we are tired of struggling and want to get away from it. Dreams of this kind are a simple way to ease(减轻) our worries.26.

We hadn’t been there since we were married ten years ago.First, we went to the neighborhood where my wife spent her childhood. It hadn’t changed very much. The house where she was born was still there, but it was now a different color. The same neighbors still lived next door. They were very glad to see Jane, and asked us to come in and have a cup of coffee. We learned about all the neighbors, old and new. Jane had a very good time. As soon as one question was asked, she would ask the next. “What happened to the Blacks who used to have the little yellow house on the corner?” “Who bought the old Johnson’s place on the next block?”“Do Fred and Whites still live down the street?”“What about Miss Burton who lived alone in the extremely big house around the corner?”Then we went to see the neighborhood where I grew up. What a disappointment! It was all changed. All the old houses I remembered were gone and in heir place were some very modern ones. I didn’t know any of the people who lived there. Someone has said that you can’t go home again. Jane might not think so, but I believe this is true.36. What place did they go to visit last summer?A. A beautiful countryB. Their hometownC.

You should decide on the best choice and mark the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet with a single line through the center.Questions 31 to 35 are based on the following passage:Why do some birds flock when they feed? Many researcherssay birds forage(搜寻食物) in groups to protect themselves from being attacked. Since there are a greater number of eyes on the lookout, individual birds can spend more time eating and less time worrying about being eaten.Thomas Caraco, a biologist at the University of Rochester, recently studied yellow-eyed juncos(北美雀科小鸟) over a three-day period to see how they altered their feeding habits in the presence of a trained Harris hawk. When Caraco released the bird, it swooped(飞扑) over the juncos, appearing to attack. The birds reacted by huddling together in a flock. And , despite the threat from above, they spent less time scanning and more time eating the food Caraco provided than they did when foraging individually.To see how the juncos would react if they had some where to hide, Caraco placed a Christmas tree in the feeding area. The birds became even freer.One negative note; when the number of birds in the flock increased beyond a certain point, they began to fight. The dominant juncos hogged the food and the meek birds lost out.31. The passage says that .A) many birds don’t like t o forage in groupsB) juncos are always ready to attack when they are togetherC) juncos foraging individually will spend more time scanningD) juncos like the food provided by Caraco best32. Caraco’s Christmas-tree experiment shows that .A) birds are not afraid of treesB) birds become holder if there is a hiding-place nearbyC) birds often hide themselves in treesD) birds are free whether there are trees around or not33. Juncos are probably .A) mild in dispositionB) stronger and more fierce than hawksC) spending a lot of time worrying about being eatenD) very nice to look at34. What’s the best title for this passage?A) Flocking for Safety. B) The Story of Juncos.C) Feeding Habits. D) The Research on Juncos.35. According to the passage, when birds eat in groups , they .A) are less worried B) eat lessC) are more worried D) alter their feeding habitsQuestion 36 to 40 are based on the following passage:In England and Wales alone, over 7,000 people each year die in home accidents. Old people have special safety problems. Falling is a potential hazard: for example, 1,468 women over 75 in England and Wales died in the one year after falling—not downstairs, but on the same level. There are a number of ways of guarding against this: avoiding hard things on the floor, like steel fenders and knobby furniture, avoiding trip-traps like rug edges, door mats and trailing wires, using special non-slip polishes for floors, if they can’t be carpeted, above all, making sure there is enough light. The older you get, the more light you need to see properly. An old person may need four or five times as much light as a child to see as clearly, even wearing spectacles. It is rare to find a home with enough light, especially in corridors and on stairs. Stairs, for example, fatally trip 700 to 800 people a year, most of them old. A 60-watt bulb just is not bright enough.Young children, too, have special problems. Nearly 200 are accidentally smothered(使窒息) each year in bed. Many of the hundreds of cases of accidental poisoning each year are ofchildren, and the commonest source of all fires in the home is a child playing with fire or with matches. The government tried every possible means to prevent them from happening.36. The tone the author used in this passage is .A) subjective B) objectiveC) heavily-biased towards the old D) authoritative37. Which of the following statements in NOT true?A) The author provides a lot of details about the problems of the old.B) The author lays much emphasis on the details so as to bring out the importance in ways of preventing the old from falling.C) The problems of children are not fully discussed as those of the old.D) Children’s problems, comparatively speaking, are more serious than the old’s.38. What is the main subject of the passage?A) Safety problem for the old.B) Falling is the fatal cause of death for the old.C) Ways of guarding against falling.D) Children’s problems.39. According to the passage, the floor for the old should be .A) smooth but not too slipperyB) polished with some special non-slip polishesC) carpetedD) both A and B40. According to the passage, which of the following is true?A) People pay enough attention to lighting their rooms, especially the corridors and the stairs.B) Corridors and stairs are usually dimmer than rooms.C) People pay less attention to giving enough light to the corridors and stairs, let alone the rooms.D) A 60-watt bulb is just bright enough.Questions41 to 45 are based on the following passage:In England and Wales alone, over 7,000 people each year die in home accidents.

The smiles soon faded from their faces, however, when Lyon reported that the earth indicator compass—the most valuable navigational instrument on board—was out of action. They would have to rely on their magnetic steering compasses. Nevertheless, as they settled down to their nocturnal watch, flying at 4,000 feet in perfect weather, they felt happy about the relatively simple journey that lay ahead—but it was a happiness that was all too short-lived.The moon disappeared and the atmosphere gradually grew colder. Strong gusts of wind which rocked the plane were followed by the drumming of torrential rain. Pitching and tossing as they flew on blindly, they circled, climbed and plunged in an attempt to dodge the squalls. Navigation was out of the question. Kingsford Smith, fighting the controls, had but one thought—to keep the Southern Cross airborne. From early evening till the small hours, they were simple fighting to survive, their limbs stiffening, their hands too numb to write. There was no entry in the log from 6.15 p.m to 3.20 a.m.Soon after dawn , they managed to escape from that terrible electric storm and at 7 a.m., Warner picked up a radio beam from Brisbane. With this they altered course, comforted by flying into warmer air. At last they sighted the Australian coast, more than a hundred miles south of their course.36. Which is the destination of the flight?A) Australian coast B) Kingsford-SmithC) Southern Cross D) Brisbane37. What does the passage tell us?A) The story of the great flight.B) The struggle between man and nature.C) The adventures of the great flight.D) The experiences before a perfect landing.38. What kind of conclusion can we draw from the last paragraph but one?A) Pilots are supposed to keep written records of a journey during the flight.B) Pilots should be mentally prepared for all kinds of situations appearing.C) Pilots should listen to the weather report before take-off.D) pilots should wear special overalls so as to keep themselves warm enough.39. “It was a happiness that was all too short –lived.” Why ? Because .A) magnetic steering compasses were out of actionB) the weather did not promiseC) the journey did not turn out as they had expectedD) they met with unfavorable weather condition40 Which disaster comes first during the course of the flight?A) Strong gusts of wind. B) Terrible electric storm.C) Cold atmosphere. D) The earth indicator compass was out of action.Question 41 to 45 are based on the following passage:Is staring at a big, white wall during class making you feel dull? If you have ever walked past math teacher Mr. Kelley's room, you may have noticed how cheerful it is throughout the year. One thing that makes his classroom so much fun is the celebrity (名人) pictures on his front wall.Kelley's students have been writing to celebrities from across the nation asking for a photo and a few words of advice. "It really takes a lot of time and money," Kelley said. First, Kelley and his students make a list of all the celebrities to whom they want to write. Once a student picks a star, Kelley looks them up in his book of addresses to see if he can write to that person.Writing to the stars takes a lot of time because he has to personalize each letter, print them out, and address them. In the letter, Kelley asks the celebrity to send his classes a picture with some advice he or she would give to today's youth.Kelley takes up a collection in all of his classes and asks each student to contribute (捐) dollar to pay for the postage. Once Kelley mails off all the letters, the fun really begins. So far he has gotten back about 20 letters and pictures. "The only thing that isn't cool is when the celebrity sends the picture back with no advice on it, which is my entire purpose in doing this," said Kelley. When he gets at least three pictures returned, he lets his classes guess who the three stars are. He keeps score of how many celebrities each class has guessed. Jason Bryant, a student, said, "It's become a contest(竞赛) between the classes to see who can guess the most stars, and it's really fun."41. Who pays to send out letters?A）Kelley himself B）Kelley's studentsC）The contest organizer D）Jason Bryant42. What is the text about?A）Celebrities sending photos to KelleyB）Celebrities giving advice to studentsC）Kelley and his classes writing to celebritiesD）Kelley inviting celebrities to his classes43.

What is Kelley's main purpose of writing the letters?A）To educate his students B）To have pictures for his office wallC）To improve his students' letter writing skillsD）To help his students know more about the celebrities45.

In my second year the professor who taught the course passed away and I was asked to take over. Then for many years I taught classes for judges, law students, and practicing lawyers throughout the country. After graduation, I got a job as an assistant city attorney. Then I became one of Denver’s youngest judges at the age of 28. Finally, I did return to Boulder---- to receive the University of Colorado’s George Norlin Award.Sooner or later everyone will fall short at something important to them.

You should decide on the best choice and mark the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet.Passage OneQuestions 11 to 15 are based on the following passage.We all know that panic-stricken moment. You drop your mobile phone, frightened, as it drops towards the floor, fearing it will land screen-side down — with shattering results.But now Apple plans to spare you that worry, with an invention that will stop your iPhone hitting the ground face first.The technology giant was granted a patent last week on an invention that can detect when a phone is falling and ensure the screen doesn’t hit the ground. The idea could also work with iPads and other devices.Apple’s design features on-board sensors that measure the speed at which the phone is falling and predict when it will land and which side of the phone will hit the floor.If sensors calculate the screen or camera will hit the ground, a motor in the phone is caused to start working instantly. The motor then affects other parts of the device, making it turn quickly around a central point as it falls, so that it lands on a hard area. The effect is similar to how a falling cat always manages to land on its feet.What’s more, the patent even includes a system that would avoid damage to the connector.Victor Seidel, a lecturer in science entrepreneurship at Oxford University, said, “This does what a lot of successful new approaches do: combine ideas in a way others had not considered. But integrating this idea into current slimline designs may be a challenge. Of course, no one will really know the possible benefits and limitations until Apple gets products into the hands of users — hands that are indeed sometimes clumsy.”Industry insiders say an iPhone featuring the new technology may appear within three years.11. What does Apple plan to do?A) Recall mobile phones with broken screens. B) Invent a new way of protecting the phone.C) Design a new type of smart phone. D) Produce new products in otherfields.12. We can know from the passage that ___________.A) the patent will prevent the phone fallingB) the patent will make the screen more solidC) the sensors can measure the phone’s falling speedD) the camera on the phone will record the falling process13. What is the function of the motor on the phone?A)It turns off the phone before it lands. B) It predicts where the phone will land.C) It rings the bell when the phone is falling. D) It protects the screen when the phone falls.14. According to the passage, we can learn_________.A) the patent is complex to use B) the patent has been put into practiceC) the patent can also protect the connector D) the patent can only be applied to iPhones15. What’s the best title of the passage?A) A Patent to Protect Your Phone. B) A Way to Prevent Your Phone Falling.C) A New Phone with a Firm Screen. D) An Advertisement of a New Phone.Passage TwoQuestions 16 to 20 are based on the following passage.Statuses are marvelous human inventions that enable us to get along with one another and to determine where we “fit”in society. As we go about our everyday lives, we mentally attempt to place people in terms of their statuses. For example, we must judge whether the person in the library is a reader or a librarian, whether the telephone caller is a friend or a salesman, whether the unfamiliar person on our property is thief or a meter reader, and so on.The statuses we assume often vary with the people we encounter, and change throughout life. Most of us can, at very high speed, assume the statuses that various situationsrequire. Much of social interaction consists of identifying and selecting among appropriate statuses and allowing other people to assume their statuses in relation to us. This means that we fit our actions to those of other people based on a constant mental process of appraisal and interpretation. Although some of us find the task more difficult than others, most of us perform it rather effortlessly.A status has been compared to ready-made clothes. Within certain limits, the buyer can choose style and fabric. But an American is not free to choose the costume (服装) of a Chinese peasant or that of a Hindu prince. We must choose from among the clothing presented by our society. Furthermore, our choice is limited to a size that will fit, as well as by our pocketbook (钱包). Having made a choice within these limits we can have certain alterations made, but apart from minor adjustments, we tend to be limited to what the stores have on their racks. Statuses too come ready made, and the range of choice among them is limited.16. In the first paragraph, the writer tells us that statuses can help us ________.A) determine whether a person is fit for a certain jobB) behave appropriately in relation to other peopleC) protect ourselves in unfamiliar situationsD) make friends with other people17. According to the writer, people often assume different statuses ________.A) in order to identify themselves with others B) in order to better identifyothersC) as their mental processes change D) as the situation changes18. The word “appraisal” (Line 5, Para. 2) most probably means “________”.A) involvement B) appreciation C) assessment D) presentation19. In the last sentence of the second paragraph, the pronoun “it”refers to “________”.A) fitting our actions to those of other people appropriatelyB) identification of other people’s statusesC) selecting one’s own statusesD) constant mental process20. By saying that “an American is not free to choose the costume of a Chinese peasantor that of a Hindu prince” (Line 2-3, Para. 3), the writer means ________.A) different people have different styles of clothesB) ready-made clothes may need alterationsC) statuses come ready made just like clothesD) our choice of statuses is limitedPassage ThreeQuestions 21 to 25 are based on the following passage.After the violent earthquake that shook Los Angeles in 1994, earthquake scientists had good news to report: The damage and death toll (死亡人数) could have been much worse.More than 60 people died in this earthquake. By comparison, as earthquake of similar intensity that shook America in 1988 claimed 25,000 victims.Injuries and deaths were relatively less in Los Angeles because the quake occurred at 4:31 a.m. on a holiday, when traffic was light on the city’s highways. In addition, changes made to the construction codes in Los Angeles during the last 20 years have strengthened the city’s buildings and highways, making them more resistant to quakes.Despite the good news, civil engineers aren’t resting on their successes. Pinned to their drawing boards are blueprints (蓝图) for improved quake-resistant buildings. The new designs should offer even greater security to cities where earthquakes often take place.In the past, making structures quake-resistant meant firm yet flexible materials, such as steel and wood that bend without breaking. Later, people tried to lift a building off its foundation, and insert rubber and steel between the building and its foundation to reduce the impact of ground vibrations. The most recent designs give buildings brains as well as concrete and steel supports. Called smart buildings, the structures respond like living organisms to an earthquake’s vibrations. When the ground shakes and the building tips forward, the computer would force the building to shift in the opposite direction.The new smart structures could be very expensive to build. However, they would save many lives and would be less likely to be damaged during earthquakes.21. One reason why the loss of lives in the Los Angeles earthquake was comparativelylow is that ________.A) new computers had been installed in the buildingsB) it occurred in the residential areas rather than on the highwaysC) large numbers of Los Angeles residents had gone for a holidayD) improvements had been made in the construction of buildings and highways22. The function of the computer mentioned in the passage is to ________.A) counterbalance an earthquake’s action on the buildingB) predict the coming of an earthquake with accuracyC) help strengthen the foundation of the buildingD) measure the impact of an earthquake’s vibrations23. The smart buildings discussed in the passage ________.A) would cause serious financial problemsB) would be worthwhile though costlyC) would increase the complexity of architectural designD) can reduce the ground vibrations caused by earthquakes24. It can be inferred from the passage that in minimizing the damage caused byearthquakes attention should be focused on ________.A) the increasing use of rubber and steel in capital constructionB) the development of flexible building materialsC) the reduction of the impact of ground vibrationsD) early forecasts of earthquakes25. The author’s main purpose in writing the passage is to ________.A) compare the consequences of the earthquakes that occurred in the U.S.B) encourage civil engineers to make more extensive use of computersC) outline the history of the development of quake-resistant building materialsD) report new developments in constructing quake-resistant buildingsPassage FourQuestions 26 to 30 are based on the following passage.“... The two big advantages I had at birth were to have been born wise and to have been born in poverty...It gave me one big advantage: none of my troubles or problems as an adult could throw me.”Sophia Loren was born in a charity ward for unmarried women in Rome in 1934. Her father Riccardo Scicolone officially recognized the child, but refused to marry the mother. Though her mother had a hard time raising her, Loren still has vivid memories of her younger years. “When I was a child, fear was common to my life — fear of having nothing to eat, fear of other children taunting me at school because I was illegitimate (私生的), and particularly fear of the big bombers appearing overhead and dropping their deadly burst from the sky.”Loren was a very young girl, when she saw the first Hollywood films. “I was filled with the feeling that that’s what I was put on earth to do, to act, to let out whatever feelings I had inside.”However, it took a long time before Sophia was offered her first role in a film. She failed the screen tests one after the other, and it seemed as if there was no way for her to become an actress. What the cameramen could not see at first, was that her inner beauty made her stunning. Remembering the difficulties of the early days of her career, Sophia said, “I was so boldly confident about myself... I have never judged myself by other people’s standards. I would get to wherever I was destined to go and try to alter my fate.”Sophia’s acting career began at the age of eighteen in 1952 with her role in a film “ Africa Under the Seas”. The film did not make a sensation, but did give a good start to the young actress. The dream of a skinny little girl, sitting in a dark movie house, was finally to come true.26. According to the passage, what did Sophia regard poverty as?A) A blessing. B) A curse.C) A disadvantage. D. A way to become wise.27. What can we infer about Sophia’s school life?A. She was given much help by other students.B. She temporarily forgot her fear at school.C. She was laughed at by other students.D. She couldn’t keep up with other students.28. When Sophia was young, __________.A. her father supported her and her motherB. her mother supported the family aloneC. she was supported by a charity groupD. she had to make a living on her own29. What may be the reason why Sophia failed the screen tests?A. She was not famous enough.B. She had no experience in acting.C. She wasn’t pretty enough in appearance.D.

First of all, arrive roughly on time (but not early). Being a few minutes late might give the cook more time to finish preparing the dinner, so it’s OK to be 10 or 15 minutes late but not 45 minutes late. Dinner might be overcooked by then. When you’re invited to someone’s home for a meal, it’s polite to bring a gift. Flowers or candy are always appropriate. If you have an attractive item made in your native country, your host and hostess will certainly enjoy receiving that as a gift.If you are served some food you don’t like or can’t eat, don’t make a fuss a bout it. If your host doesn’t say anything about what you aren’t eating, then you shouldn’t, either. Simply eat what you can and hope that no one notices what you’ve left. If you are questioned, you may have to admit you don’t eat meat (or whatever), but you can also say that you’ve enjoyed the other foods and have had “more than enough” to eat. Don’t make the cook feel obliged (被迫) to prepare something else for you. Be sure to praise the cook on the food you’ve enjoyed.Don’t leave immediately after dinner, but don’t overstay your welcome (做客时间过久)，either. When your friends seem to be getting tired and running out of conversation, take their behavior as a cue (暗示) to leave. The next day, call or write a thank-you note to say how much you enjoyed the evening.36. If you are served some food you don’t like, you should_____.A. just eat what you canB. force yourself to eat it upC. tell the host that you don’t like itD. ask the cook to prepare something else37.

But grandma Moses is different. She starts a new job at age 76. This is her story. It begins in 1860. She is born a poor farmer’s daughter. Her parents name her Anna Mary Robertson.She is one of 10 children. She works on other people’s farms to make money. It is 1887. She marries Thomas Moses. He is a farm worker, too. They both work on a farm.Now it is 1930. Anna Mary Moses is 70 and a grandmother. She paints pictures. She makes paintings of country life. One day, her daughter takes her paintings to a store in town. Her paintings are put in the window. A man from New York sees the paintings in the window and buys them. And he wants more!The man likes grandma Moses’ paintings. He wants to help her. So he takes her paintings to galleries in New York. Otto Kallir has a famous gallery there. He likes the paintings by Grandma Moses. Now it is 1940 and Grandma Moses’paintings are in Kallir’s gallery. She is 80 years old.Grandma Moses suddenly becomes famous. Everyone wants her paintings.

You can tell a true mother from the sharp way she looks at you. A mother always knows everything about you. Absolutely everything.I had such a mother. I could hide nothing from her. For example, if I came home after eating lots of chocolate cakes at the neighbor’s house, she would look at me and say, “How many times do I have to tell you that you shouldn’t eat between meals?”I would look at her amazed. How could she see across the street and through the walls of my friend’s house, while she was cleaning the bathroom floor?“How did you know that?” I asked, wiping crumbs (碎屑) from my chin.“A mother always knows,” she said, “I can read your forehead.”And the further away from home I was, the more she seemed to know. I arrived at college for my freshman year, feeling lost and homesick. As I settled down on the dormitory bed for a good cry, my mother walked in the door.“You forgot your pillow (枕头),” she said and handed me the very one I had used the night before.I had done my own packing and had shut the door to my room when we left the house to drive to college. How could she possibly see sixty miles away what I really wanted? Answering my unspoken question she said,“A mother always knows.”46.

Each passage is followed by some questions or unfinished statements. For each of them are four choices marked A), B), C), and D). You should decide on the best choice and mark the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet with a single line through the center.Question 31 to 35 are based on the following passage:Why do some birds flock when they feed? Many researchers say birds forage(搜寻食物) in groups to protect themselves from being attacked. Since there are a greater number of eyes on the lookout, individual birds can spend more time eating and less time worrying about being eaten.Thomas Caraco, a biologist at the University of Rochester, recently studied yellow-eyed juncos(北美雀科小鸟) over a three-day period to see how they altered their feeding habits in the presence of a trained Harris hawk. When Caraco released the bird, it swooped(飞扑) over the juncos, appearing to attack. The birds reacted by huddling together in a flock. And , despite the threat from above, they spent less time scanning and more time eating the food Caraco provided than they did when foraging individually.To see how the juncos would react if they had some where to hide, Caraco placed a Christmas tree in the feeding area. The birds became even freer.One negative note; when the number of birds in the flock increased beyond a certain point, they began to fight. The dominant juncos hogged the food and the meek birds lost out.31. The passage says that .A) many birds don’t like to forage in groupsB) juncos are always ready to attack when they are togetherC) juncos foraging individually will spend more time scanningD) juncos like the food provided by Caraco best32. Caraco’s Christmas-tree experiment shows that .A) birds are not afraid of treesB) birds become holder if there is a hiding-place nearbyC) birds often hide themselves in treesD) birds are free whether there are trees around or not33. Juncos are probably .A) mild in dispositionB) stronger and more fierce than hawksC) spending a lot of time worrying about being eatenD) very nice to look at34. What’s the best title for this passage?A) Flocking for Safety. B) The Story of Juncos.C) Feeding Habits. D) The Research on Juncos.35. According to the passage, when birds eat in groups , they .A) are less worried B) eat lessC) are more worried D) alter their feeding habitsQuestions 36 to40 are based on the following passage:In sport the sexes are separate. Women and men do not run or swim in the same races. Women are less strong than men. That at least is what people say. Women are called ‘the weaker sex’, or , if men want to please them, ‘the fair sex’. But boys and girls are taught together at schools and universities. There are women who are famous Prime Ministers, scientists and writers. And women live longer than men. A European woman can expect to live until the age of 74, a man only until he is 68. Are women’s bodies really weaker?The fastest men can run a mile in under 4 minutes. The best women need 4.5 minutes. Women’s times are always slower than men’s, but some facts are a surprise. Some of the fastest women swimmers today are teenage girls. One of them swam 400 metres in 4 minutes 21.2 seconds when she was only 16. The first ‘Tarzan’in films was an Olympic swimmer, Johnny Weissmuller. His fastest 400 metres was 4 minutes 59.1 seconds, which is 37.9 seconds slower than a girl 50 years later! This does not mean that women are catching men up. Conditions are very different now, and sport is much more serious. It is so serious that some women athletes are given hormone(荷尔蒙) injections. At the Olympics a doctor has to check whether the women athletes are really women or not. It seems sad that sport has such problems. Life can be very complicated when there are two separate sexes!36．In this passage the author implies that .A) women are weaker than men, but fasterB) women are slower than men ,but strongerC) men are not always stronger and faster than womenD) men are faster and stronger than women37．“That at least is what people say.” Means people .A) say other things too B) don’t say this muchC) say this but may not think so D）only think this38．Which of the following is true?A) Boys and girls study separately everywhere.B) Women do not run or swim in races with men.C) Famous Prime Ministers are women.D) Men can expect to live longer than women in Europe.39．Women are called ‘the weaker sex’ because .A) women do as much work as menB) people think women are weaker than menC) sport is easier for men than for womenD）in sport the two sexes are always together40．What problems does sport have?A) Some women athletes are actually men.B) Some women athletes are given hormone injections.C) Women and men do not run or swim in the same races.D）It is difficult to check whether women athletes are really women.Question 41 to 45are based on the following passage:Distance learning has moved far away from the traditional correspondence course aimed at the individual student working alone. The global reach of the Internet makes it possible to unite geographically scattered students in a virtual classroom. Methods such as multimedia,video-conferencing(视频会议) and the Internet increasingly allow students both to proceed at their own pace, and to interact with one another and their teachers.Even without taking technology to its limits, the idea of education as a lifelong process is catching on throughout the industrialized world. Already, working adults who pursue their studies part-time make up roughly half of the students taking college courses in the United States.However, there is debate in scholarly circles about how far the new technology should be used for teaching academic subjects in which personal contacts between teacher and student are still vital. Britain’s Open University, a world leader in distance education, for example, has embraced information technology cuatiously(谨慎地), believing it to be no shubtitute(替代物) for books and the exchange of ideas at live tutorials and summer schools.But the Open University is also moving with the times. It has set up a “knowledge media institute” to explore ways of adopting information technology. Some teachers are concerned about this trend, arguing that the heavy investment that students are expected to make in computer and communications equipment contradicts(与……矛盾) the concept of “Open”. Cost, of course, is an important factor in many developing countries, where few people have computers or even phones. Rather than uniting the world, the new technologies could lead to societies of information haves and have-nots.41. Scholarly circles’ attitude toward distance learning can best be d ecribed as ____________.A. disapprovingB. cautiousC. sarcasticD. indifferent42. We can infer from the passage that __________________.A. students accept new concepts more easily than teachers.B. students are reluctant to invest in equipment for distance learningC. distance learning is sure to take the place of traditional higher educationD. there is still room for distance learning to develop43. Distance learning is different from the traditional correspondence course in that_____________.A. it requires the individual student to work aloneB. it enables all the students to work at the same paceC. it allows students to discuss with one another and their teachersD. it enalbes geographically scattered students to study in the same physical classroom44. In Paragraph 2, “catching on” means _______________.A. become practicalB. become popularC. become acceptableD. become creative45. Some teachers are concerned about distance learning because ______________.A. it may lead to an information gap between the rich and the poorB. it contradicts the traditional concept of educationC. it will take the place of books and teachersD. it requires universities to make a heavy investmentPart ⅢCloseDirections: There are 20 blanks in the following passage.

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 singleline through the center.Passage OneAmericans this year will swallow 15, 000 tons of aspirin, one of the safest and most effective drugs invented by man. As the most popular medicine in the world today, it is an effective pain reliever. Its bad effects are relatively mild, and it is cheap.Although aspirin was first sold by a German company in 1899, it has been around much longer than that. Hippocrates, in ancient Greece, understood the medical value of the leaves and tree bark which today are known to contain salicylates, the chemical in aspirin. During the 19th century there was a great deal of experimentation in Europe with this chemical, and it led to the introduction of aspirin. By 19l5, aspirin tablets(片剂) were available in the United States.For millions of people suffering from arthritis, aspirin is the only thing that works. A small quantity of aspirin (two five-grain tablets) relieves pain and inflammation. It also reduces fever by interfering with some of the body's reactions. Aspirin, in short, is truly the 20th-century wonder drug. On the other hand, it is also the second largest suicide drug and is the leading cause of poisoning among children. It has side effects that, although relatively mild, are largely unrecognized among users.Aspirin is very irritating to the stomach lining, and many aspirin takers complain about upset stomach. There is a right way and a wrong way to take aspirin. The best way is to chew the tablets before swallowing them with water, but few people can stand the bitter taste. Some people suggest crushing the tablets in milk or orange juice and drinking that.16. This article discusses __________.A. the multiple functions of aspirinB. how and why aspirin was inventedC. the history and the features of aspirinD. how to take aspirin properly17. According to the second paragraph, salicylates is __________.A. leaves and tree barksB. the old name of aspirinC. the name of a US companyD. a component of aspirin18. Which symptom can NOT be treated by aspirin?A. feverB. reactionsC. painD. inflammation19. It can be inferred from the last paragraph that the best way to take aspirin is to take it__________.A. with bitter waterB. with orange juiceC. in tablet formD. in powder form20. The author of this article seems to be__________.A. against the use of aspirinB. in favour of aspirinC. doubtful about aspirinD. not interested in aspirinPassage TwoDr. Mary Jo Bane is the associate director of the Center for Research on Women. Her recent study found “surprising evidence of the persistence of American commitments to family life”, which cast doubt on some common myths about American family.Myth 1: The American Family is Dying Because of the Soaring Divorce Rate.According to Dr. Bane’s study, the American family is changing, not dying. It is becoming smaller and the divorce rate is high. But Dr. Bane says that despite the high divorce rate, marriage has never been more popular. The majority of divorced people re-marry, but only 2％marry more than twice. Most marriages last a long time, and a large proportion of divorces are from teenage marriages. Depending on the specific situation, there’s often good reason for teenage marriages to break up.Myth 2: Working Mothers are Destroying the Family by Neglecting Their Children.“There’s no evidence that children receive less attention from mothers who work outside the home than from mothers working inside the home,” says Dr. Bane. “You have to divide the time into different categories: simple physical function and educational time or development time when a mother plays with the child. So far we haven’t seen the amount of educational or development time vary much, whether or not the mother works outside the home.” In fact, Dr. Bane finds evidence that working mothers, especially in the middle class, try to compensate for working by setting aside time exclusively for their children. “They probably read more to their children and spend more time in planned activities with them than nonworking mothers do.” says Dr. Bane.21. Dr. Mary Jo Bane’s study seems to suggest that _________.A. Americans are persistent in careerB. Americans are serious with their familiesC. American families are all breaking upD. American families are perfect as usual22. It can be inferred that the common myths of American family consider family life to be_________.A. in great dangerB. quite wonderfulC. changing too fastD. very satisfying23. According to the article, which of the following is true about marriage and divorce?A. Divorced people never consider a second marriage.B. Teenage couples often divorce out of no reason.C. Less and less people plan to get married.D. Very few people have a third or fourth marriage.24. For the children whose mothers go out to work, __________.A. it is better to have mothers at homeB. almost no attention is paid to themC. no less attention is paid to themD. a lot of time is spent playing gamespared with nonworking mothers, working mothers________.A. spare less time to stay with their childrenB. do more educational activities with childrenC. do very little simple physical houseworkD. avoid disturbing their work by family dutiesPassage ThreeCrime has its own cycles, a magazine reported some years ago. Police records that were studied for five years from over 2,400 cities and towns show a surprising link between changes in the season and crime patterns in UK.The pattern of crime has varied very little over a long period of years. Murder reaches its high during July and August, as do rape and other violent attacks. Murder, moreover, is more than seasonal: it is a weekend crime. It is also a nighttime crime: 62 percent of murders are committed between 6 p. m. and 6 a. m.Unlike the summer high in crimes of bodily harm, burglary has a different cycle. You are most likely to be robbed between 6 p. m. and 2 a. m. on a Saturday night in December, January or February. The most uncriminal month of all is May; however, more dog bites are reported in this month than in any other month of the year.On the other hand, our intellectual seasonal cycles are completely different from our criminal tendencies. Professor Huntington, of the Foundation for the Study of Cycles, made extensive studies to discover the seasons when people read serious books, attend scientific meetings, make the highest scores on examinations, and propose the most changes to patents. In all instances, he found a spring peak and an autumn peak separated by a summer low. On the other hand, ProfessorHuntington's studies indicated that June is the peak month for suicides and admissions to mental hospitals. June is also a peak month for marriages!26. The seasonal cycle of crime patterns is proved by_________.A. the figures in police recordsB. 2,400 cities and townsC. a magazine reportD. the studies by police officers27.According to paragraph 2, a murder would most possibly occur on _________.A. a weekday morning in springB. a weekday morning in autumnC. a weekend night in summerD. a weekend night in winter28.What makes May a special month of the year?A. All types of crimes happen in May.B. There is no crime happened in May.C. Criminals increase in number in May.D. Dog attacks are most frequent in May.29. Which behavior is NOT an example of human intellectual activities?A. Reading books on philosophy.B. Attending wedding ceremony.C. Working on mathematics questions.D. Innovating engineering machinery.30.According to Professor Huntington’s study, June is the peak month when people _________.A. get divorcedB. recover from mental illnessC. try to kill themselvesD. climb high and low mountainsPassage FourIn Lusaka, Zambia, a young man applying for a job was told to see the manager. He leaned over the receptionist’s desk and asked. “What tribe（部落）is he?” When the receptionist told him that the manager was a Mashona, the applicant replied, “Then I'll never get the job.”This phenomenon is called tribalism（部落主义）. There are more than 2,000 tribes in black Africa. Each has its own language, customs, and physical characteristics that make its members almost immediately recognizable to a person from another tribe. To the Westerner, tribalism is one of the most difficult of African customs to understand. It makes many people think of savagery, warfare, or old-fashioned customs.However, to most Africans, tribalism simply means very strong loyalty to one’s ethnic group. It is a force that can be both good and bad. By definition tribalism means sharing among membersof the extended family. It makes sure that a person is taken care of by his own group tribesman. To give a job to a fellow is not wrong; it is an obligation. Similarly, for a politician or military leader, it is considered good common sense to choose his closest advisers from people of his own tribe. This ensures security, continuity, and authority. Tribal loyalty may mean a quick promotion—from sergeant to captain, from clerk to manager—within a very short time.Modern African politicians publicly speak out against tribal divisions. Yet it remains perhaps the most powerful force in day-to-day African life.31. In paragraph 1, why did the young man believe his job application will be refused?A. His behavior was not appropriate.B. He belonged to the same tribe with the manager.C. He didn’t belong to the same tribe with the manager.D. His questions annoyed the receptionist.32. The situation in the first paragraph is an example of_______.A. the difficulty of getting a job in AfricaB. the disagreement on tribalism among AfricansC. the great numbers of tribes in AfricaD. the importance of tribalism in Africa33. What might be the common attitudes of Westerners towards tribalism?A. positiveB. indifferentC. negativeD. none of the above34. According to the article, which of the following is NOT an evidence of tribalism?A. Sergeants maintain security in his own tribe.B.Politicians choose men from his own tribe as intimate advisers.C. Military leaders promote fellow tribesmen to higher positions.D. Managers give jobs to fellow tribesmen.35. What would be the future of tribalism?A. It will soon be destroyed by modern politicians.B. It will remain as strong as it is today and never be changed.C. It will gradually disappear as the society develops.D. It will speed up further division of tribes.Part III Vocabulary and Structure (20 points)Directions: There are 40 incomplete sentences in this part.

First of all, arrive roughly on time (but not early). Being a few minutes late might give the cook more time to finish preparing the dinner, so it’s OK to be 10 or 15 minutes late but not 45 minutes late. Dinner might be overcooked by then. When you’re invited to someone’s home for a meal, it’s polite to bring a gift. Flowers or candy are always appropriate. If you have an attractive item made in your native country, your host and hostess will certainly enjoy receiving that as a gift.If you are served some food you don’t like or can’t eat, don’t make a fuss a bout it. If your host doesn’t say anything about what you aren’t eating, then you shouldn’t, either. Simply eat what you can and hope that no one notices what you’ve left. If you are questioned, you may have to admit you don’t eat meat (or whatever), but you can also say that you’ve enjoyed the other foods and have had “more than enough” to eat. Don’t make the cook feel obliged (被迫) to prepare something else for you. Be sure to praise the cook on the food you’ve enjoyed.Don’t leave immediately after dinner, but don’t overstay your welcome (做客时间过久)，either. When your friends seem to be getting tired and running out of conversation, take their behavior as a cue (暗示) to leave. The next day, call or write a thank-you note to say how much you enjoyed the evening.36. If you are served some food you don’t like, you should_____.A. just eat what you canB. force yourself to eat it upC. tell the host that you don’t like itD. ask the cook to prepare something else37. Which of the following behaviors is mentioned as polite?A. Say sorry about the food you don’t like.B Call your friend the next day to say thanks.C. Stay at your friend’s home until you are tired.D. Continue your conversation when your friend is tired.38.

But grandma Moses is different. She starts a new job at age 76. This is her story. It begins in 1860. She is born a poor farmer’s daughter. Her parents name her Anna Mary Robertson.She is one of 10 children. She works on other people’s farms to make money. It is 1887. She marries Thomas Moses. He is a farm worker, too.

One day, her daughter takes her paintings to a store in town. Her paintings are put in the window. A man from New York sees the paintings in the window and buys them. And he wants more!The man likes grandma Moses’ paintings. He wants to help her. So he takes her paintings to galleries in New York. Otto Kallir has a famous gallery there.

How could she see across the street and through the walls of my friend’s house, while she was cleaning the bathroom floor?“How did you know that?” I asked, wiping crumbs (碎屑) from my chin.“A mother always knows,” she said, “I can read your forehead.”And the further away from home I was, the more she seemed to know. I arrived at college for my freshman year, feeling lost and homesick. As I settled down on the dormitory bed for a good cry, my mother walked in the door.“You forgot your pillow (枕头),” she said and handed me the very one I had used the night before.I had done my own packing and had shut the door to my room when we left the house to drive to college.
