What I did have was a friend who found for me my room in a New York apartment building.It didn't even matter that it was cold and had no bathroom.I immediately bought a used manual typewriter and felt like a genuine writer.After a year or so,however,I still hadn't got a break and began to doubt myself.It was so hard to sell a story that I barely made enough to eat.But I knew I wanted to write.I had dreamed about it for years.I wasn't going to be one of those people who died wondering.What if I would keep putting my dream to test(even though it meant living with uncertainty and fear of failure). This is the shadow-land of hope,and anyone with a dream must learn to live there.51.The passage is meant to_______.A) B) C)warn young people of the hardships that a successful writer has to experience encourage young people to pursue a writing careershow young people it is unrealistic for a writer to pursue wealthD)advise young people to give up their idea of becoming a professional writer52.What can be concluded from the passage?A) B) C) D)A writer’s success depends on luck rather than on effort. Genuine writers often find their work interesting and rewarding. Famous writers usually live in poverty and isolation.The chances for writers to become successful are small.53.Why did the author begin to doubt himself after the first year of his writing career?A) B) C) D)He found his dream would never come true. He hadn't seen a change for the better.He wasn't able to have a rest for a whole year. He was not able to produce a single book.54.In Line13“...people who died wondering”,“who” refers to those.A) B) C) D)who think a lot without making a decision who regret giving up their career halfway who think too much of the dark side of life who are full of imagination even upon deathPassage TwoStudents can travel in the United States without spending too much money if they follow these suggestions.A travel agent can give you information on special economy fares for trains,buses and planes.Think about hiking or biking for a part of your trip,too.You‘ll not only save money,but you'll also see a lot more of the country.Some students may want to travel by car.Be sure to think about going with other students—many colleges have'‘ride boards” that list when and where other students plan to travel.Many radio stations provide the same,sort of service—they announce who’s driving where,when,how many riders they will take and what the expenses will be.There are many inexpensive, older hotels near bus or train stations. Check your travel guide for names of the best. Many parts of the country also have youth hostels where young people can stay for only a few dollars a night.You don't have to eat in restaurants all the time, but we don?t recommend a diet of candy and cola, either. You can usually get a healthy, cheap breakfast in a restaurant. If the weather is warm, you can buy food in supermarkets or at roadside stands and have a picnic for lunch. For dinner you can get the names of good, cheap restaurants from travel guides or friends.55. The passage tells students ______ .A) B) C) how to get help while travelinghow to make travel planshow to use less money while travelingD) how to choose hotels56. To see more of the country, you ’d better travel ______. A) by plane B) by train C) by bus D) by bike57.

B) enjoyable A) eat in restaurants sometimes C) take some food with you B)invite your friends for a picnicD) have more candy and colaPassage ThreeEmily Dickinson was a nineteenth-century American woman who lived her life completely unknown to anyone except her family and a few friends. Less than a dozen of her poems were published during her lifetime. In spite of this, she is regarded today as a great poet, perhaps the greatest poet the United States has produced. Along with the Greek poet Sappho, she may be one oi the two greatest women poets who have ever lived.Dickinson was born on December 10, 1830, in a small Massachusetts town called Amherst. Hers was an oid family; her ancestors had come lo the United States 200 years before. Her parents were not really rich, but they were certainly not poor. She had an older brother, Austin, and a younger sister, Lavinia. Her parents seem to have been rather withdrawn people, and the members of the family spent a good deal of time by themselves. She doesn ’t seem to have liked her mother very much. She spoke once of never really having a mother.She was educated at the local Amherst Academy and Mount Holyoke Women ’ s Seminary. Although she was sometimes described as pretty, she never married. In all outward respects, her life appeared to be rather boring.The time and place in which she lived was not a good one for a woman artist to succeed. Women are expected to be obedient to men and to remain in their place at home. Rather than waste her life in the meaningless round of social events that were open to women, she decided at some point to retreat from the world in order to write her poetry. From then on, she spent a great deal oftime in her bedroom writing. In later years when she was standing in front of her bedroom door, she looked at her niece and said,“It ’s just a turn-and freedom, Mary!” It was when she closed the door of her room and turned the key that locked the door that the most important andcreative hours of her life were spent,the hours when she wrote her poetry.She was regarded as a recluse by many of her neighbors,that is,as a person who spent a good deal of time by herself.59.According to the author,who is the greatest woman poet in America?A)Both Sappho and Dickinson C)Sappho B)Emily Dickinson D)Not mentioned60.Women in Emily Dickinson’s time______.A)are regarded as reclusesB) C)are expected to be obedient to men spend most of their time in social eventD)are expected to retreat from the world61.Emily Dickinson's ancestors came to the United States in around.A)1630B)1830C)1730D)193062.Which of the following statement is NOT true?A) B) C)It is quite likely that Emily Dickinson didn't like her mother.Emily Dickinson regarded being locked in her room as“freedom”.She is well-known in her lifetime and is still regarded as a great poet now.D)Her parents seem to have been rather withdrawn people,and they spent a good deal of time with their family members.Section BDirections: Match the Chinese sentences in the left column with the English in the right column, and mark the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet with a single line through the centre. 63.国家的前途很大程度上取决于年 A) The happiest people don ’t necessarily have the best things; they just make the most ofeverything that comes along their way.轻一代的教育。

Each passage is followed by some questions or incomplete statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D .You should decide on the best choice and then mark the corresponding letter on the ANSWER SHEET.Passage oneUndoubtedly, leading a low-carbon lifestyle is a popular trend in modem society, where a considerable number of individuals begin to undertake the responsibility to protect the environment .One of my Chinadialogue colleagues in Beijing recently bought a Philips energy-saving light bulb to replace a standard one. He was happy with his choice. It may have cost 30 Yuan (just under 4. 50 dollars)-ten times the price of a filament( 灯丝) bulb-but he wanted to save energy as part of hislow-carbon lifestyle. And according to the shopkeeper, he would save, in the long run, much more than the 30 Yuanhe was spending.Yet only one month later, his expensive light bulb blew up, before he had saved even a small part of the purchase price.Will he stick to his high-cost, low-carbon lifestyle?China's environmental organizations have started to advocate low-carbon lifestyles and the decrease of carbon footprints to help fight against climate change. But they have overlooked one fact: in China, low-carbon living comes at a high cost.It means buying energy-saving bulbs and appliances, and environmentally friendly building materials and daily goods. Cost can no longer be the only standard for purchases. An energy-saving and environmentally friendly product is more expensive than a standard alternative- whether it's a simple light bulb or the house it shines. For average consumers, even buying an ordinary house is a huge burden. How can we persuade ordinary people to choose an energy-saving residence? This is not a trend they can afford to follow; perhaps this fashion is only for the rich.Most consumers today do not cause huge carbon dioxide (CO2), emissions. Their responsibility lies not in choosing a low-carbon lifestyle today, but in avoiding a higlr-carton life in the future. The principle of "common but differentiated responsibility"-a basis of sustainable development-can be applied here as well.In China, low-carbon living is still resisted by a lack of social infrastructure. Even if your salary allows you to make that choice, nobody is there to help you accomplish it. Many so-called energy-saving buildings are even more energy-hungry than the average home.31.What may probably be the best title of this passage? .A.To Purchase a Cheap Bulb--Your Wise AlternativeB.T o Choose an Energy -saving Residence- a Must of Your LifeC.T o Live a Low-carbon Lifestyle-a Promising but Difficult PurposeD.T o Live a low-carbon Lifestyle-Each Citizen's Responsibility32.Why did the writer’s colleague get an energy-saving light bulb? .A. He wanted to save some moneyB. He wanted to try living his low-cabon lifestyleC. He was asked to do so by some organizationsD.

Positive and activePassage TwoAccording to certain research, highway crashes can be cut by optical illusion(错觉).Japan is a case in point. It has reduced automobile crashes on some roads by nearly 75 percent using B simple optical illusion. Bent stripes, called chevrons( 人字形), painted on the roads make drivers think that they are driving faster than they really are, and thus drivers slow down.Now the American Automobile Association Foundation for Traffic Safety in Washington D. C. is planning to repeat Japan’s success. Starting next year, the foundation will paint chevrons and other patterns of stripes on selected roads around the country to test how well the patterns reduce highway crashes.Excessive speed plays a major role in as much as one fifth of all fatal traffic accidents, according to the foundation. To help reduce those accidents, the foundation will conduct its tests in areas where speed-related hazards are thegreatest-curves, exit slopes, traffic circles, and bridges.Some studies suggest that straight, horizontal bars painted across roads can initially cut the average speed of drivers in half. However, traffic often returns to full speed within months as drivers become used to seeing the painted bars.Chevrons, scientists say, not only give drivers the impression that they are driving faster than they really are but also make a lane appear lo be narrower. The result is a longer lasting reduction in highway speed and the number of traffic accidents.36.Drivers tend to feel that on roads painted with chevrons.A. they should avoid speed-related hazardsB. they are driving in the wrong laneC. they are approaching the speed limitD. they should slow down their speed37.The advantage of chevrons over straight, horizontal bars is that the former .A. will have a longer effect on driversB. can cut road accidents in halfC. can keep drivers awakeD. will look more attractive38.The American Automobile Association Foundation for Traffic Safety plans to .A. replace straight, horizontal bars with chevronsB. change the road signs across the countryC. try out the Japanese method in certain areasD. repeat the Japanese road patterns39.What does the author say about straight, horizontal bars painted across roads? .A.They are falling out of use in the United StatesB.They tend to be ignored by drivers in a short period of timeC.They are applicable only on broad roadsD.They cannot be applied suecessfully to traffic circles40.The passage mainly discusses .A. a new type of optical illusionB. a new pattern for painting highwaysC. a new approach to training driversD. a new way of highway speed controlPassage ThreeAs well as peers of my generation, I have a weakness for hero worship. At some point, however, we all begin to question our heroes and our need for them. This leads us to ask: What is a hero?Despite immense differences in cultures, heroes around the world generally share a number of characteristics that instruct and inspire people.A hero does something worth talking about. A hero has a story of adventure to tell and a Community who will listen. But a hero goes beyond mere fame.Heroes serve powers or principles larger than themselves. Like high-voltage transformers, heroes take the energy of higher powers and step it down so that it can be used by ordinary people.The hero lives a life worthy of imitation. Those who imitate a genuine hero experience life with new depth, enthusiasm, and meaning. A sure test for would-be heroes is what or whom do they serve? What are they willing to live and die for? If the answer or evidence suggests they serve only their own fame, they may he famous persons but not heroes.Madonna and Michael Jackson are famous, but who would claim that their fans find life more morally abundant?Heroes are catalysts (催化剂) for change. They have a vision from the mountaintop. They have the skill and the charm to move the masses. They create new possibilities. Without Gandhi, India might still be part of the British Empire. Without Rosa Parks and Martin Luther King, Jr, we might still have segregated( 隔离的)buses restaurants, and parks. It may be possible for large-scale change to occur without leaders with magenetic personalities, but the pace of change would be slow, the vision uncertain, and the committee meetings endless.41.Although heroes may come from different cultures, they .A. are often influenced by previous generationsB. all unknowingly attract a large number of fansC. generally possess certain inspiring characteristicsD. probably share some weaknesses of ordinary people42.According to the passage, heroes are compared to high-voltage transformers in that .A.they have warm feelings and emotionsB.they can serve as concrete examples of noble principlesC.they can make people feel stronger and more confidentD.they have a vision from the mountaintop43.Madonna and Michael Jackson are not regarded as heroes because .A.their primary concern is their own financial interestsB.they are not clear about the principles they should followC.they are popular only among certain groups of peopleD.their performances do not improve their fans morally44.Gandhi and Martin Luther King are typical examples of outstanding leaders who .A.can move the masses with their distinctive charm and skillB.are good at demonstrating their charming charactersC.can provide an answer to the problems of their peopleD.are capable of meeting all challenges and hardships45.The author concludes that historical changes would .A.take place if there were heroes to lead the peopleB.be delayed without leaders with inspiring personal qualitiesC.not happen without heroes making the necessary sacrificesD.produce leader with attractive personalitiesPassage FourAfter graduation, I was assigned to teach a writing class. Teaching was a profession I had never seriously considered, though several of my stories had been published. I accepted the job without hesitation, as it would allow me to wear a tie and go by the name of Mr. Davis. My father went by the same name, and I liked to imagine people getting the two of us confused. "Wait a minute" someone might say, "are you talking about Mr. Davis the retired man, or Mr. Davis the respectable scholar?”The position was offered at the last minute, and I was given two weeks to prepare, a period I spent searching for briefcase and standing before my full-length mirror, repeating the words, “Hello, class, I'm Mr. Davis. Sometimes I would give myself an aggressive voice. Sometimes I would sound experienced. But when the day eventually came, my nerves kicked in and the true Mr. Davis was there. I sounded not like a thoughtful professor, but rather a 12-year-old boy.I arrived in the classroom with paper cards designed in the shape of maple leaves. I had cut them myself out of orange construction paper. I saw nine students along a long table. I handed out the cards, and the students wrote down their names and fastened them to their breast pockets as I required.“All right then,” I said. “Okay, here we go.” Then I opened my briefcase and realized that I had never thought beyond this moment. I had been thinking that the students would be the first to talk, offering their thoughts and opinions on the events of the day. I had imagined that I would sit. At the edge of the deak, overlooking a forest of hands. Every student would yell. “Calm down, you'll all get your turn. One at a time, one at a time !”A terrible silence ruled the room, and seeing no other opinions, I inspected the students to pull out their notebooks and write a brief essay related to the theme of deep disappointment.46.The author took the job to teach writing because .A. he had written some storiesB. he wanted to be respectedC. he wanted to please his fatherD. he had dreamed of being a teacher47.What can we learn about the author from Paragraph 2? .A. He got nervous upon the arrival of his first classB. He was well-prepared for his first classC. He would be aggressive in his first classD. He waited long for the arrival of his first class48.Before he started his class the author asked the students to .A. write don their suggestions on the paper cardsB. cut maple leaves out of the construction paperC. write down their names on the paper cardsD. cut some cards out of the construction paper49.What did the students do when the author started his class? .A. They raised their handsB. They shouted to be heardC. They began to talkD. They stayed silent50.The author chose the composition topic probably because .A. he had prepared the topic before classB. he got frustrated with his first classC.he wanted to calm down the studentsD. he thought it was an easy topicPartⅢ Cloze (1×20)Directions: There are 20 blanks in the following passage.

For each of them there are 4 choices marked A,B,C and D. You should decide on the best choice, and mark the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet.Passage OneWhen I was studying English at a training center in Washington D.C. in 1998, I shared a house with two young Americans, Jim, and Steve. Jim was studying French and Steve Chinese, both at the Foreign Service Institute. We shared many things in common, but we also thought and acted quite differently. Steve was interested in speaking Chinese. He always tried every opportunity to talk with me with his very English-like pronunciation. I was often touched with his diligence. However, I wanted to practice English with him, too. So we often speak at the same time in the other’s mother tongue. Jim was fresh from college and the youngest of the three. He was going out all the time. The only time we met was at breakfast. There was a small round table in our kitchen, where we sat around to enjoy our food. Steve had Chinese fast food such as dumplings or noodles, and I ate bread and boiled eggs. But Jim often just drank a cup of tea because he had nothing in his bridge. He was too busy dating pretty French girls to do any shopping. I often offered him some of my food. But Steve told me in his poor Chinese that I didn’t need to do that. He said that it was Jim’s own fault and that it served him right. Although he was learning Chinese, he still held his American sense of value.Two years later, I returned to china. The three of us still keep in touch. Jim now works in a travel agency in Paris. He got married to one of the pretty girls. He wrote to tell us that now he can enjoy a delicious breakfast with his beautiful wife every morning in their comfortable living room. Steve wants to work in china. And I’m helping him with this. I have introduced him to the dean of the Overseas Section of our university. He is very interested in Steve.He wants to know if Steve can work here teaching the overseas students Chinese. I have sent the message to Steve. I’m sure he’d be very happy to accept the job. However, I hope he could try harder to improve himself. Otherwise, all the overseas students would speak with his terrible pronunciation!61. Which of the following statements is true according to the passage?A. The three of them were all language majors.B. Steve and Jim were more alike in character.C. The author didn’t enjoy talking with Steve.D. Their living condition was rather poor.62. What is the author’s opinion of Steve?A. Steve was a very hardworking fellow.B.Steve enjoyed cooking Chinese food.C.Steve enjoyed shopping more than Jim.D. Steve’s Chinese accent was quite pure.63. Which of the following is true about Jim?A. Going out with girls cost him a lot of time.B. He had a French way of making friends.C. He learned French in order to date Paris girls.D. He liked doing housework.64. What does the last sentence of the 1st paragraph imply?A. Steve didn’t like offering help to others.B. American people only eat their own food.C. Americans and Chinese differ in their sense of value.D. Steve wanted Jim to do his own shopping.65. From the last paragraph, we can learn that ______.A. Jim is a very good husband.B. Steve enjoys teaching Chinese.C. The author works for overseas students.D. The three friends still keep in touch.Passage TwoHow often one hears children wishing they were grown-ups and old people wishing they were young again. Each age has its pleasures and its pains, and the happiest person is the one who enjoys what each age gives him without wasting his time in useless regrets.Childhood is a time when there are few responsibilities. If a child has good parents, he is well fed, looked after and loved. It is unlikely that he will ever again in his life be given so much without having to do anything in return. In addition, life is always presenting new things to the child —things that have lost their interest for older people because they are too well known. But a child has his pains:He is not so free to do what he wishes to do; he is continually being told not to do things or being punished for what he has done wrong. Therefore, a child is not happy as he wishes to be.When the young man starts to earn his own living, he becomes free from discipline of school and parents; but at the same time he is forced to accept responsibilities. With no one to pay for his food, his clothes, or his room, he has to work if he wants to live comfortably. If he spends most of his time playing about in the way that he used to as a child, he will go hungry. And if he breaks the laws of society as he used to break the laws of his parents, he may get himself into trouble. If, however, he works hard,goes by the law and has good health, he may feel satisfied in seeing himself make steady progress in his job and in building up for himself his own position in society.Old age has always been thought of as the worst age to be; but it is not necessary for the old to be unhappy. With old age comes wisdom and the ability to help others with advice wisely given. The old can have the joy of seeing their children making progress in life; they can watch their grandchildren growing up around them; and, perhaps best of all, they can, if their life has been a useful one, fell the happiness of having come through the battle of life safely and of having reached a time when they can lie back and rest, leaving everything to others.66.The happiest people should be those who ______.A.

Happiness and AgesPassage ThreeLife really should be one long journey of joy for children who are born with a world of wealth at their tiny feet.But experts on psychological research now believe that silver spoons can leave a bitter taste. If suicide statistics are a sign of happiness, then the rich are a miserable lot. Figures show that it is the rich who most often do away with themselves.Dr. Robert Coles, an internationally famous doctor, is the world’s top expert on the influence of money on children. He has written a well-received book on the subject, The Privileged Ones, and his research shows that too much money in the family can cause as many problems as too little. Obviously there are certain advantages to being rich,” says the 53-year-old doctor, such as better health, education and future work expectation. But most important is the quality of family life. Money can’t buy love.”It can buy a lot of other things, though, and that’s where the trouble starts. Rich kids have so much to choose from that they often become confused. Their parents’over favoring can make them spoiled. They tend to travel more than other children, from home to home and country to country, which often makes them feel restless.“But privileged children do have a better sense of their positions in the world,” adds Mr. Coles, “and they are more self-assured.”Today’s rich parents perhaps have realized that their riches can be more of a burden than a favor to their children. So their priority is to ensure that their families are as rich in love as they are in money.71. According to the passage, children of rich families __________.A. enjoy travelingB. can buy loveC. usually commit suicideD. are not always happy72.

This article is written mainly to tell readers that __________.A. the rich are more likely to do away with themselvesB. money can bring a lot of things, including loveC. life is always happy for children of rich parentsD. rich parents should realize what is important in the family is love rather thanmoneyPassage FourCharlene, a 16-year-old student at a high school, found herself faced with a maths test to which she knew none of th e answers. Rather than fail, she took the test out with her and filled in the answers with the help of her friends. Duri ng a break, she got back into the classroom without being seen, crumpled the test with her shoe, and left it lying on the floor. The teacher thought it had been dropped when the tests were collected; she corrected it, and Charlene rece ived a B.Cheating is, of course, nothing new. But today, educators are finding that cheating on the part of students has beco me more frequent than in the past. Whether it is copying a friend's homework, using a prepared sheet on an exam, s tealing advance copies of a final, writing down rules in one's hand, or paying someone else to write a term paper, ch eating appears to have gained acceptance among a growing number of students between 13 and 19.In a 1978 study of cheating at twenty-two high schools in Georgia, it was found that cheating was common among good and poor students alike——although both boys and girls said they thought boys cheated more.Why is student cheating on the rise? No one really knows. Some blame cheating on a general loss of good values a mong today's youth. They point to facts showing increased damage of public things and school stealing and think th at reports, such as Watergate have disappointed youth about the honesty of people in higher positions.Others think that today's youth are far more practical than their forefathers. In the late sixties and early seventies, st udents were filled with imaginations about changing the world, but today's students feel great stress to succeed.76. According to Paragraph 1, Charlene took the test out because ____.A. her friends could answer none of the problemsB. she tore the test paper to piecesC. she stepped her shoes on the test paperD. she did not want to fail in the math test77.

Which of the following is not an example to show that cheating is becoming more and more common?A. A student pays another for doing a test paper.B.

For each of them there are 4 choices marked A,B,C and D. You should decide on the best choice, and mark the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet.Passage OneWhen I was studying English at a training center in Washington D.C. in 1998, I shared a house with two young Americans, Jim, and Steve. Jim was studying French and Steve Chinese, both at the Foreign Service Institute. We shared many things in common, but we also thought and acted quite differently. Steve was interested in speaking Chinese. He always tried every opportunity to talk with me with his very English-like pronunciation. I was often touched with his diligence. However, I wanted to practice English with him, too. So we often speak at the same time in the other’s mother tongue. Jim was fresh from college and the youngest of the three. He was going out all the time. The only time we met was at breakfast. There was a small round table in our kitchen, where we sat around to enjoy our food. Steve had Chinese fast food such as dumplings or noodles, and I ate bread and boiled eggs. But Jim often just drank a cup of tea because he had nothing in his bridge. He was too busy dating pretty French girls to do any shopping. I often offered him some of my food. But Steve told me in his poor Chinese that I didn’t need to do that. He said that it was Jim’s own fault and that it served hi m right. Although he was learning Chinese, he still held his American sense of value.Two years later, I returned to china. The three of us still keep in touch. Jim now works in a travel agency in Paris. He got married to one of the pretty girls. He wrote to tell us that now he can enjoy a delicious breakfast with his beautiful wife every morning in their comfortable living room. Steve wants to work in china. And I’m helping him with this. I have introduced him to the dean of the Overseas Section of our university. He is very interested in Steve. He wants to know if Steve can work here teaching the overseas students Chinese. I have sent the message toSteve. I’m sure he’d be very happy to accept the job. However, I hope he could try harder to improve himself. Otherwise, all the overseas students would speak with his terrible pronunciation!61. Which of the following statements is true according to the passage?A. The three of them were all language majors.B. Steve and Jim were more alike in character.C. The author didn’t enjoy talking with Steve.D. Their living condition was rather poor.62. What is the author’s opinion of Steve?A. Steve was a very hardworking fellow.B.Steve enjoyed cooking Chinese food.C.Steve enjoyed shopping more than Jim.D. Steve’s Chinese accent was quite pure.63. Which of the following is true about Jim?A. Going out with girls cost him a lot of time.B. He had a French way of making friends.C. He learned French in order to date Paris girls.D. He liked doing housework.64. What does the last sentence of the 1st paragraph imply?A. Steve didn’t like offering help to others.B. American people only eat their own food.C. Americans and Chinese differ in their sense of value.D. Steve wanted Jim to do his own shopping.65. From the last paragraph, we can learn that ______.A. Jim is a very good husband.B. Steve enjoys teaching Chinese.C. The author works for overseas students.D. The three friends still keep in touch.Passage TwoHow often one hears children wishing they were grown-ups and old people wishing they were young again. Each age has its pleasures and its pains, and the happiest person is the one who enjoys what each age gives him without wasting his time in useless regrets.Childhood is a time when there are few responsibilities. If a child has good parents, he is well fed, looked after and loved. It is unlikely that he will ever again in his life be given so much without having to do anything in return. In addition, life is always presenting new things to the child — things that have lost their interest for older people because they are too well known. But a child has his pains:He is not so free to do what he wishes to do; he is continually being told not to do things or being punished for what he has done wrong. Therefore, a child is not happy as he wishes to be.When the young man starts to earn his own living, he becomes free from discipline of school and parents; but at the same time he is forced to accept responsibilities. With no one to pay for his food, his clothes, or his room, he has to work if he wants to live comfortably. If he spends most of his time playing about in the way that he used to as a child, he will go hungry. And if he breaks the laws of society as he used to break the laws of his parents, he may get himself into trouble. If, however, he works hard,goes by the law and has good health, he may feel satisfied in seeing himself make steady progress in his job and in building up for himself his own position in society.Old age has always been thought of as the worst age to be; but it is not necessary for the old to be unhappy. With old age comes wisdom and the ability to help others with advice wisely given. The old can have the joy of seeing their children making progress in life; they can watch their grandchildren growing up around them; and, perhaps best of all, they can, if their life has been a useful one, fell the happiness of having come through the battle of life safely and of having reached a time when they can lie back and rest, leaving everything to others.66.The happiest people should be those who ______.A. Face up to difficulties in lifeB. Hope to be young againC. Enjoy life in different ageD. Wish to be grown up67.The word “they”underlined in Line 4, para. 2 refers to ____.A. Older peopleB. New thingsC. ChildrenD. Interests68. A child has his pains because____. .A. He can not do whatever he wants toB. He is not allowed to play in rainC. He has a lot of new things to learnD. He can not play at the seaside freely69.When a child becomes a grown-up, he is supposed to ____.A.live comfortablyB. Take responsibilitiesC. Make progress in jobD. Impress the society70.The best title of the passage might be ____.A. Pains and AgesB. Differences in AgesC. The Best Age to BeD.

statements.Choose the,best answer and mark the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet with a single line through the center.Passage OneMany a young person tells me he wants to be a writer.I always encourage such people,but I also explain that there's a big difference between being a writer and writing.In most cases these individuals are dreaming of wealth and fame,not the long hours alone at a typewriter.“You’ve got to want to write,”I say to them,“not want to be a writer.,’The reality is that writing is a lonely,private and poor-paying affair.For every writer kissed by fortune there are thousands more whose longing is never rewarded.When I left a 20-year career in the U.S.Coast Guard to become a freelance writer,I had no prospects at all. What I did have was a friend who found for me my room in a New York apartment building.It didn't even matter that it was cold and had no bathroom.I immediately bought a used manual typewriter and felt like a genuine writer.After a year or so,however,I still hadn't got a break and began to doubt myself.It was so hard to sell a story that I barely made enough to eat.But I knew I wanted to write.I had dreamed about it for years.I wasn't going to be one of those people who died wondering.What if I would keep putting my dream to test(even though it meant living with uncertainty and fear of failure). This is the shadow-land of hope,and anyone with a dream must learn to live there.51.The passage is meant to_______.A)warn young people of the hardships that a successful writer has to experienceB)encourage young people to pursue a writing careerC)show young people it is unrealistic for a writer to pursue wealthD)advise young people to give up their idea of becoming a professional writer52.What can be concluded from the passage?A)A writer’s success depends on luck rather than on effort.B)Genuine writers often find their work interesting and rewarding.C)Famous writers usually live in poverty and isolation.D)The chances for writers to become successful are small.53.Why did the author begin to doubt himself after the first year of his writing career?A)He found his dream would never come true.B)He hadn't seen a change for the better.C)He wasn't able to have a rest for a whole year.D)He was not able to produce a single book.54.In Line13“...people who died wondering”,“who”refers to those.A)who think a lot without making a decisionB)who regret giving up their career halfwayC)who think too much of the dark side of lifeD)who are full of imagination even upon deathPassage TwoStudents can travel in the United States without spending too much money if they follow these suggestions.A travel agent can give you information on special economy fares for trains,buses and planes.Think about hiking or biking for a part of your trip,too.You‘ll not only save money,but you'll also see a lot more of the country.Some students may want to travel by car.Be sure to think about going with other students—many colleges have'‘ride boards”that list when and where other students plan to travel.Many radio stations provide the same,sort of service—they announce who’s driving where,when,how many riders they will take and what the expenses will be.There are many inexpensive,older hotels near bus or train stations.Check your travel guide for names of the best.Many parts of the country also have youth hostels where young people can stay for only a few dollars a night.You don't have to eat in restaurants all the time,but we don?t recommend a diet of candy and cola,either.You can usually get a healthy,cheap breakfast in a restaurant.If the weather is warm,you can buy food in supermarkets or at roadside stands and have a picnic for lunch.For dinner you can get the names of good,cheap restaurants from travel guides or friends.55.The passage tells students______.A)how to get help while travelingB)how to make travel plansC)how to use less money while travelingD)how to choose hotels56.To see more of the country,you’d better travel______.A)by plane B)by train C)by bus D)by bike57.According to the passage,staying at youth hostels is________.A)cheap B)enjoyable C)comfortable D)convenient58.To save money,you can_______.A)eat in restaurants sometimes B)invite your friends for a picnicC)take some food with you D)have more candy and colaPassage ThreeEmily Dickinson was a nineteenth-century American woman who lived her life completely unknown to anyone except her family and a few friends.Less than a dozen of her poems were published during her lifetime.In spite of this,she is regarded today as a great poet, perhaps the greatest poet the United States has produced.Along with the Greek poet Sappho,she may be one oi the two greatest women poets who have ever lived.Dickinson was born on December10,1830,in a small Massachusetts town called Amherst.Hers was an oid family;her ancestors had come lo the United States200years before. Her parents were not really rich,but they were certainly not poor.She had an older brother,Austin, and a younger sister,Lavinia.Her parents seem to have been rather withdrawn people,and the members of the family spent a good deal of time by themselves.She doesn’t seem to have liked her mother very much.She spoke once of never really having a mother.She was educated at the local Amherst Academy and Mount Holyoke Women’s Seminary. Although she was sometimes described as pretty,she never married.In all outward respects,her life appeared to be rather boring.The time and place in which she lived was not a good one for a woman artist to succeed. Women are expected to be obedient to men and to remain in their place at home.Rather than waste her life in the meaningless round of social events that were open to women,she decided at some point to retreat from the world in order to write her poetry.From then on,she spent a great deal oftime in her bedroom writing.In later years when she was standing in front of her bedroom door,she looked at her niece and said,“It’s just a turn-and freedom,Mary!”It was when she closed the door of her room and turned the key that locked the door that the most important andcreative hours of her life were spent,the hours when she wrote her poetry.She was regarded as a recluse by many of her neighbors,that is,as a person who spent a good deal of time by herself.59.According to the author,who is the greatest woman poet in America?A)Both Sappho and Dickinson B)Emily DickinsonC)Sappho D)Not mentioned60.Women in Emily Dickinson’s time______.A)are regarded as reclusesB)are expected to be obedient to menC)spend most of their time in social eventD)are expected to retreat from the world61.Emily Dickinson's ancestors came to the United States in around.A)1630B)1830C)1730D)193062.Which of the following statement is NOT true?A)It is quite likely that Emily Dickinson didn't like her mother.B)Emily Dickinson regarded being locked in her room as“freedom”.C)She is well-known in her lifetime and is still regarded as a great poet now.D)Her parents seem to have been rather withdrawn people,and they spent a good deal oftime with their family members.Section BDirections:Match the Chinese sentences in the left column with the English in the right column, and mark the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet with a single line through the centre.63.国家的前途很大程度上取决于年轻一代的教育。

Part I Reading Comprehension (60 marks, 60 minutes)SectionAFormatⅠ(共 20 小题,每小题 2 分,共 40 分)Directions: There are 4 passages in this part. Each passage is followed by five questions. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C, and D. You should decide on the best choice and blacken the corresponding letter on Answer Sheet.Passage oneQuestions 1 to 5 are based on the following passage:Karen Christiansen Madison,Wisconsin,is licking stamps and addressing envelopes.Soon,she and her future husband will be sending out invitations for their June wedding.Meanwhile,on the other side of the world,Wei Yashung is at the hairdresser’s in Shanghai,China.Sheknows she will have a long wait---maybe four hours.It’s May 18th,the most popular day to get married in China.The room is filled with brides preparing for their special day.Weddings are a special event in every culture.People begin new lives together and families are joined together. “Everyone feels very emotional at this time.There are a lot of rituals and superstitions at weddings,”says Maxine Rowe,an anthropologist.As Kerry plans her wedding,her aunt and sisters help her check off the things she needs,according to an old custom.They read the traditional poem, “Something old,something new,something borrowed,and something blue”Female friends and relatives gather around.preparing the bride for the ceremony.Many wedding traditions in western cultures were designed to protect the couple from bad luck. “The wedding veil is a Greek custom,to hide the bride from evil1spirits,”says Maxine. “The Romans developed the custom of bridesmaids(i.e. women dressed like the bride) to confuse the spirits.Also,some wedding flowers have a strong smell to scare away the evil spirits.”In China,thousands of couples that have chosen May 18th for their wedding day. “In the past,Chinese couples consulted a special book to find lucky and unlucky days for getting married ” explains Maxine. “But in modern times,a new tradition is being formed.” The eighteenth day of the fifth month,five-one-eight or “wu yao ba ”as it is called in China,sounds very close to “wo yao fa ”or “I will get rich.”This is considered a omen for any couples getting married on this day.Some people don’t think it is a good idea for everyone to get married on the same day. “It’s silly and superstitious,”a newspaper reporter wrote.Hairdressers,and owners of flower stores,restaurants and car services say it’s the best day of the year.They can raise their prices for this one day and their services will still be fully booked.Maybe they are the ones who should be saying, “I will get rich.”1.The overall structure of this passage can be called ________parison and contrastB.description of events in order of timeC.details leading to conclusionD.generalization followed by details2. An anthropologist in P2 studies _______ ?A. hairstyleB. jewelsC. almanacsD. customs3. Why do Karen’s friends and relatives contribute a cousin’s wedding veil ?A. It is something old.C. It is something borrowed. B. It is something new.D. It is something blue.4. The word omen in P5 means________.A. a sign of starB. a sign of presentC. a sign of pastD.a sign of future5. What is the writer’s tone in the last sentence “Maybe they are the ones who should be saying, “I will get rich.””A. HumorousB. TolerantC. Matter-of-factD. FuriousPassage TwoQuestions 6 to 10 are based on the following passage:The easiest and least complicated way to motivate somebody is quite simply to pay them attention.What you say is not particularly important,nor necessarily is how long you spend saying it,as long as it’s something. “Nice weather” or “How are you ?” will do.People just love attention,adults and children.Children love attention so much that they will do anything to get some.In fact,if children are not getting enough attention,they would rather be naughty and get told off than be “good” and be ignored.An interesting time in most households with young children is2dinnertime--it’s the end of the day,everybody is tired,the house is in a mess and Johnny doesn’t like carrots and is refusing to eat his food.Again,the easy trap to fall into is to start getting cross with Johnny and getting into a big argument about his food.Again,he’s getting the attention he desires;even if it’s not the best sort of attention,it’s better than nothing.It’s fascinating if you are able to stand back from the situation and instead focus attention and praise on Johnny’s brother who is eating his food---after all,he is one that is doing what you want him to do.After five or ten minutes or so of being ignored and deprive of the attention,it’s amazing how quickly(usually) Johnny sees sense and obeys.I’ve watched my own children in this situation go from screaming from behind the sofa,saying “Mummy,aren’t I doing good dinner eating ? ”---all without having one word a spoken to them by their parents,who are busily paying attention to their brothers.This fundamental need for attention,and doing whatever it takes to get it,doesn’t disappear when we turn into adults.Sure,there are people who are “real attention seekers ”in a loud and extravert (外向的) way,and there are the shy,retiring types who don’t want attention in such a “ sociable ” way.But everybody still wants to be recognized and seen worthwhile.6.What will children probably do to get parentsattention ? A.They will get quiet for a long time.B.They will ignore theirparents. C.They will behavenaughtily. D. They will getcrossly easily.7.What does the phrase “ the easy trap to fall into ” means ?A.A set-up situation parents are likely to go into.B.The household work that parents can not avoid.C.Some tempting food children easily love to eat.D.A bad habit children easily develop.8. An effective way to make children behave themselves may to be ?A. Scold them severelyB. Teach them what to doC. Give them total freedomD.
