Each passage is followed by so me questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are 4 choices marked a, b, c, and d. You should decide on the best choice and write the an swer on the Answer Sheet.TEXT 1Pygmies are the earliest-known inhabitants of central Africa. They lived in t he Congo basin long before other groups migrated there--their presence confirm ed in ancient Egyptian records. They are gentle, peaceful people who conceal t he-mselves well in the rainforest. They have in recent times had to share with immigrant farmers. Pygmies do not farm, but trade meat, honey and other for -est products for knives, metal tools ,rice, corn and bananas. They are lighter skinned than some of their neighbors and different in stature. Adults are 1.2 to 1.5m tall.The Efe group of Pygmies of the Ituri forest in eastern Congo is one of the last to retain its original culture. The Efes, whose existence is threatened by l -ogging and farming in the forests in which they hunt, are among the Burundi group of Pygmies who live in north-eastern Congo.In Cameroon, there is a population of 35,000 Baka Pygmies,but this number is uncertain because of the group’s semi-nornadic lifestyle in wandering the ra -inforest in search of game and other foods. During the three-month rainy seas -on, when food is plentiful, the Baka leave their permanent villages to roam th e forest, rarely staying in one place more than a week.Men contract marriages during this crucial season; they prove their hunting a -bility by the game they bring home to the parents of a future wife.Men from farming tribes sometimes marry Pygmy women, although there is a ban again -st Pygmy men marrying women from farming tribes.Within the Baka culture, hunting elephant is one of the most important activ -ities,not only for food but for the symbolic meanings and prestige traditionally attached to it. Elephant hunting is linked to other cultural activities, including men’s initiation and women’s ritual songs.Hunting is performed with poisoned arrows, bows, crossbows, spears and traps. The Baka are interested in the out -side world while maintaining their identity and independence. And though they are attracted by much of what the outside world offers, they have always had access to the forest,a world that is completely their own.Their culture is robust enough to survive as long as the forest remains. Without it this culture will be meaningless.21.The fact that Pygmies are the earliest Central African inhabitants has been ______.A)established B)made C)discovered D)explored22.Pygmies are gentle and peaceful people who in stature is ________.A)unusually big C)normally smallB)normally big D)quite normal23.________fails to denote the name of a country.A)the Congo B)Ituri C)Burundi D)Cameroon24.Which of the following is NOT true according to the passage?A)A Baka Pygmy marriage takes place in the rainforestB)Of all Pygmies, the Efe group is the last group keeping its primitive cultureC)Pygmy men are forbidden to marry women from farming tribesD)Pygmy women are not forbidden to marry men from farming tribes25.Robust as Pygmy culture is, it can according to the text, by all means surv -ive ________.A)to the end of this centuryB)the next centuryC)the culture of farming tribes long in the outside worldD)as long as there is the rainforestTEXT 2The use of chemicals in almost all areas of life has become a commonplace phenmoenon. There is growing evidence ,however, that chemicals in the envir -onment, including pesticides, may contribute to some illnesses. While studies are still being conducted preliminary conclusions point to the verdict that such chemicals are indeed negatively impacting those humans to whom they are exp -osed.Children are especially vulnerable to toxic substancs. Pound for pound, they eat, drink and breathe more than adults,all of which expose them more heavily to those chemicals to which most individuals encounter on a daily basis. Fur-theremore, their bodies are still in developing stages, exacerbating the negative effects of those chemicals which negatively impact them.Of 50 types of pesticieds commonly used in American schools a study cond -ucted by the National Coalition Against the Misuse of Pesticides found thatmany caused negative reactions in laboratory animals. Such negative effects inc -luded kidney and liver damage, cancer, and neurological and reproductive prob -lems.These implications of these findings are far-reaching, Given the variety of ha -rmful effects attributed to those pesticides tested, one must pause and consider whether it is wise to continue their use in the nation’s schools,where children will be constantly exposed to them. Activists have lobbied for the elimination of such use with a degree of success, and recent findings, if supported by fur -ther analysis and confirmation, may help further the cause. A long term soluti on or alternative, however, remains elusive.In the short run, however, there may be some measures that can be taken to mitigate the harmful effects of dangerous pesticides. The American Medical Association’s Council on Scientific Affairs concluded in a 1997 report that giv-en the “particular uncertaint regarding the long-term health effects of low-dose pesticide exposures.”It is “prudent”for adults and children to limit their expos -ure and to “consider the use of the least toxic chemical pesticides or non-che-mical alternatives”.26.The citing of dangerous effects of pesticides on laboratory animals in paragr -aph 3 is used to suggest that _______.A)scientists are also concentrated with effects of pesticides on animalsB)cancer is the worst effect of the pesticidesC)most or all of the dangerous effects of pesticides are now knownD)the chemicals may also cause these effects in humans27.Children are more likely than adults to suffer the negative effects of pestici-des because ________.A)children absorb more pesticides than adults, proportionallyB)pesticides are used more in areas with childrenC)the pesticides used in schools are more dangerous than other pesticidesD)adults know more about pesticides than children28.The main point of this text is that _________.A)pesticides are dangerous and their uses need to be reevaluatedB)children suffer most from the effects of pesticidesC)schools are most responsible for pesticide-relate illnessesD)pesticides should be eliminates everywhere29.The author mentions the exaggerated effects of chemicals on children in par -agraph 2 to _____.A)prove that pesticides are dangerous to all humansB)show that children are more susceptible to many kinds of dangersC)suggest a solution to the problem of pesticidesD)identify one group that pesticides hurt in particular30.The author cites the American Medical Association’s advice in paragraph 4 in order to ________.A)present more factual details to clarify the issueB)present an alternative theory for considerationC)present a recommendation from a reputable sourceD)Present a solution drawn from all the evidence consideredTEXT 3It came as something of a surprise when Diana, Princess of Wales, made a trip to Angola in 1997,to support the Red Cross’s campaign for a total ban on all anti-personnel landmines. Within hours of arriving in Angola, television scre -ens around the world were filled with images of her comforting victims injure -d in explosions caused by landmines.”I knew the statistics”,she said,”But putti-ng a face to those figures brought the reality home to me; like when I met Sandra, a 13-year-old girl who had lost her leg, and people like her.”The Princess concluded with a simple message:”We must stop landmines”. And she used every opportunity during her visit to repeat this message. But, back in London, her views were not shared by some members of the British government,which refused to support a ban on these weapons. Angry politicians launched an attack on the princess in the press. They described her as”very ill -informed”and a “loose cannon”. The princess responed by brushing aside the Criticisms:”This is a distraction we do not need. All I’m trying to do is help”. Opposition parties, the media and public immediately voiced their support for Princess. To make matters worse for the government, it soon emerged that the Princess’s trip had been approved by the Foreign Office, and that she was in fact very well-informed about both the situation in Angola and the British go-vernment ‘s policy regarding landmines.The result was a severe embarrassment for the government. To try and limit the damage, the Foreign Secretary,Malcolm Rifkin, claimed taht the Princess’s views on landmines were not very different from government policy, and that it was “working towards”a worldwide ban. The Defense Secretary , Michael Portilo, claimed the matter was “a misinterpretation or misunderstanding.”For the Princess,the trip to this war-torn country was an excellent opportunity to use her popularity to show the world how much destruction and suffering lan -dmines can cause. She said that the experience had also given her the chance to get colser to people and their problems.31.Princess Diana paid a visit to Angola in 1997_______.A)to clarify the British government’s stand on landminesB)to establish her image as a friend of landmine victimsC)to investigate the sufferings of landmine victims thereD)to voice her support for a total ban of landmines32.What did Diana mean when she said “putting a face to those figures broug-ht the reality home to me”(Line 5, Para,1)?A)Meeting the landmine victims in person made her believe the statisticsB)She just couldn’t bear to meet the landmine victims face to faceC)The actual situation in Angola made her feel like going back homeD)Seeing the pain of the victims made she realized the seriousness of the situa -tion33.Some members of the British government criticized Diana because ______.A)she had not consulted the government before the visitB)she was ill-informed of the government’s policyC)they were actually opposed to banning landminesD)they believed that she had misinterpreted the situation in Angola34.How did Diana respond to the criticisms?A)She made more appearances on TVB)She paid no attention to themC)She rose to argue with her opponentsD)She met the 13-year-old girl as planned35.What did Princess Diana think of her visit to Angola?A)It had caused embarrassment to the British governmentB)It had greatly promoted her popularityC)It had brought her closer to the ordinary peopleD)It had affected her relations with the British governmentTEXT 4“History is written by the victors.”This famous phrase reverberates througho -ut the halls of history, constantly reminding us to take all that we learn with a grain of salt, knowing that the information provided for our dissemination was provided, shaped and influenced by this left to hold the pen that recorded it. In that respect, one of the worst crimes against history is the revision ofit, the altering of the record of the past so as to reflect the viewpoint of a biased group who stand to benefit from the altered version.By revising the lens by which history is judged, valuable information is lost, to the detriment of both students of the filed as well as the awareness that co-mes from experience. Without an accurately recorded account to serve as guidi -ng light, nations and societies are left to stumble their way about their affairs, ignorant of what has and hasn’t worked before, and unaware of what past ev -ents shaped and determined their present situation. Such dismal situations emer -ge from simple pride, as well as the desire of the revisionists to depict thems -elves in a better light to posterity or to cover up an embarrassing legacy, no matter the cost to the future.Recent attempts by nations involved in the second World War to minimize or erase altogether certain shameful incidents from their history textbook has been met with international outrage and protest, and rightly so. By allowing fu -ture generations to forget or never even learn about how their ancestors stumb -led on the path to progress, the experiences of those who suffered as a result of those mistakes are trivialized and made to be in its information. Both are heinous results for both nationals of that particular nation as well as those of the international community,whose stories intertwine to form the large picture.When a single string in the tapestry of world history is unraveled by revisio -n, the entire piece becomes a weaker one, subject to additional modification at the whim of those who would like to use history as a tool for their own purposes, even if it means fundamentally changing it. This outcome must be avoided at all costs, firstly by not allowing a precedent to be established that makes it acceptable, even in a single case, to commit the revision. Otherwise, humans as a race will fall prey to yet another oft-quoted phrase:”History, if fo -rgotten, is doomed to be repeated.”36.The first line of the text implies that _______.A)historical accounts are invariably colored by the views and stances of those who emerged victoriousB)those who have the power to do so will often influence recording of events to favor themselvesC)those who are defeated have little or no say in the documentation of their st ruggle, resulting in a biased account.D)the winners in a struggle have the moral obligation to accurately record eve-nts37.The author views the revision of history as _______.A)indisputably negative in all situationsB)generally harmful when done so to favor one side’s stanceC)always motivated by the desire to portray the reviser in a better lightD)Rendering the revised history useless for the purposeof analysis and learning38.In paragraph3, the author argues against historical revision with the assertion that ________.A)revision of World WarⅡevents has proven that such actions have a negative impactB)such revision results in an undeserved sense of national prideC)revising history has far-reaching effects beyond the borders of any one count -ryD)history is one of the primary concerns dealt with in the education system and should thus be pure39.In paragraph 4,”When a single string in a tapestry of world history is unra -veled by revision, the entire piece becomes a weaker one”means that ______.A).history is an intertwined series of events coming together to form a large pictureB)a loss of reliability in any single segment of history makes the entire histori -cal record suspectC)once one piece of history is revised, others soon followD)as soon as the integrity of the historical record is breached, it can never be fully recovered.40.The main point of text is that ________.A)revising history must be avoided in all situations at all costsB)the revision of history leads to a flawed perception resulting in loss of vital lessonsC)is revision of history goes on, the meaning behind the revised events will lo -se meaningD)historical revision is an international problem affecting all nations and people Ⅲ.Cloze (20 points, 1 X 2)When people __41__ to improve their breathing their initial thought is invar-iably to suck in the maximum possible draught of air __42__ you can’t pour wine into a full bottle. __43__you can’t fill the lungs with fresh air __44__ you’ve first drained them of every drop of stale air,__45__at the best of times only a sixth of the air in the lungs gets __46__with each fresh breath we take.

Answer the questions below each text by choosing A, B, C or D. Mark your answers on the ANSWER SHEET. (40 points) Text 1It is curious that Stephen Koziatek feels almost as though he has to justify his efforts to give his students a better future.Mr.Koziatek is part of something pioneering. He is a teacher at a New Hampshire high school where learning is not something of books and tests and mechanical memorization, but practical. When did it become accepted wisdom that students should be able to name the 13th president of the United States but be utterly overwhelmed by a broken bike chain?As Koziatek knows,there is learning in just about everything. Nothing is necessarily gained by forcing students to learn geometry at a graffitied desk stuck with generations of discarded chewing gum. They can also learn geometry by assembling a bicycle.But he’s also found a kind of insidious prejudice. Worki ng with your hands is seen as almost a mark of inferiority.Schools in the family of vocational education “have that stereotype..that it’s for kids who can’t make it academically,”he says.On one hand,that viewpoint is a logical product of America’sevolution.Manufacturing is not the economic engine that it once was.The job security that the US economy once offered to high school graduates has largely evaporated.More education is the new principle.We want more for our kids,and rigitfully so.But the headlong push into bachelor’s degrees for all -and the subtle devaluing of anything less-misses an important point:That’s not the only thing the American economy neds.Yes,a bachelor’s degree opens more doors.But even now,54 percent of the jobs in the country are middle-skill jobs,such as construction and high-skill manufacturing.But only 44 percent of workers are adequately trained.In other words,at a time when the working class has turned the country on its political head,frustrated that the opportunity that once defined America is vanishing,one obvious solution is staring us in the face.There is a gap in working-class jobs,but the workers who need those jobs most aren’t equipped to do them.Koziatek’s Manchester School of Technology High School is trying to fill that gap.Koziatek’s school is a wake-up call.When education becomesone-size-fits-all,it risks overlooking a nation’s diversiy of gifts.21.A brokan bike chain is mentioned to show students’ lack of______.A.mechanical memorizationB.academic trainingC.practical abilityD.pioneering spirit22.There existsthe prejudice that vocational education is for kids who______.A.are financially disadvantagedB.are not academically successfulC.have a stereotyped mindD.have no career motivation23.We can infer from Paragraph 5 that high school graduates______.A.are entitled to more “ducational privilegesB.are reluctant to work in manufacturinged to have more job opportunitiesed to have big financial concerns24.The headlong push into bacheloi’s degrees fo r all_____.A.helps create a lot of middle-skill jobsB.may narrow the gap in working-class jobsC.is expected to yield a better-trained workforceD.indicates the overvaluing of higher education25.The author’s attitude toward Koziatek’s school can be desc ribed as_____.A.supportiveB.disappointedC.tolerantD.cautious21. 答案C practical ability这是一道细节题，根据题干关键词可定位至第二段最后一句话,意思是”什么时候这种观点变得可接受了呢?学生应该能够说出美国第十三任总统的名字，但是却完全对坏了的自行车链束手无策”。

different home each week and with the help of chef Matt Tebbutt offers top tips on how to reduce food waste，while preparing recipes for under £5 per family a day．And the Good Morning Britain presenter says she's been able to put a lot of what she's learnt into practice in her own home，preparing meals for sons，Sam，14，Finn，13，and Jack，11．"We love Mexican churros，so I buy them on my phone from my local Mexican takeaway restaurant，'' she explains，"I pay £5 for a portion（一份），but Matt makes them for 26p a portion，because they are flour，water，sugar and oil．Everybody can buy takeaway food，but sometimes we're not aware how cheaply we can make this food ourselves．"The eight﹣part series （系列节目），Save Money：Good Food，follows in the footsteps of ITV's Save Money：Good Health，which gave viewers advice on how to get value from the vast range of health products on the market．With food our biggest weekly household expense．Susanna and Matt spend time with a different family each week．In

thousands of years，but in recent times there has been less coming and a lot more going．When the world was still populated by hunter﹣gatherers，small，tightly knit （联系）groups developed their own patterns of speech independent of each other．Some language experts believe that 10，000 years ago，when the world had just five to ten million people，they spoke perhaps 12，000 languages between them．Soon afterwards，many of those people started settling down to become farmers，and their languages too became more settled and fewer in number．In recent centuries，trade，industrialisation，the development of the nation﹣state and the spread of universal compulsory education，especially globalisation andbetter communications in the past few decades，all have caused many languages to disappear，and dominant languages such as English，Spanish and Chinese are increasingly taking over．At present，the world has about 6，800 languages．The distribution of these languages is hugely uneven．The general rule is that mild zones have relatively few languages，often spoken by many people，while hot，wet zones have lots，often spoken by small numbers．Europe has only around 200 languages；the Americas about 1，000；Africa 2，400；and Asia and the Pacific perhaps 3，200，of which Papua New Guinea alone accounts for well over 800．The median number （中位数）of speakers is a mere 6，000，which means that half the world's languages are spoken by fewer people than that．Already well over 400 of the total of 6，800 languages are close to extinction （消亡），with only a few elderly speakers left．Pick，at random，Busuu in Cameroon （eight remaining speakers），Chiapaneco in Mexico （150），Lipan Apache in the United States （two or three）or Wadjigu in Australia （one，with a question﹣mark）：none of these seems to have much chance of survival．（1）What can we infer about languages in hunter﹣gatherer times？A．They developed very fast．B．They were large in number．C．They had similar patterns．D．They were closely connected．（2）Which of the following best explains "dominant" underlined in paragraph 2？A．Complex．B．Advanced．C．Powerful．D．Modern．（3）How many languages are spoken by less than 6，000 people at present？A．About 6，800．B．About 3，400．C．About 2，400．D．About 1，200．（4）What is the main idea of the text？A．New languages will be created．B．People's lifestyles are reflected in languages．C．Human development results in fewer languages．D．Geography determines language evolution．14．（8.00分）DWe may think we're a culture that gets rid of our worn technology at the first sight of something shiny and new，but a new study shows that we keep using our old devices （装置）well after they go out of style．That's bad news for the environment ﹣and our wallets ﹣as these outdated devices consume much more energy than the newer ones that do the same things．To figure out how much power these devices are using，Callie Babbitt and her colleagues at the Rochester Institute of Technology in New York tracked the environmental costs for each product throughout its life ﹣from when its minerals are mined to when we stop using the device．This method provided a readout for how home energy use has evolved since the early 1990s．Devices were grouped by generation．Desktop computers，basic mobile phones，and box﹣set TVs defined 1992．Digital cameras arrived on the scene in 1997．And MP3 players，smart phones，and LCD TVs entered homes in 2002，before tablets and e﹣readers showed up in 2007．As we accumulated more devices，however，we didn't throw out our old ones．"The living﹣room television is replaced and gets planted in the kids' room，and suddenly one day，you have a TV in every room of the house，" said one researcher．The average number of electronic devices rose from four per household in 1992 to 13 in 2007．We're not just keeping these old devices﹣we continue touse them．According to the analysis of Babbitt's team，old desktop monitors and box TVs with cathode ray tubes are the worst devices with their energy consumption and contribution to greenhouse gas emissions （排放）more than doubling during the 1992 to 2007 window．So what's the solution（解决方案）？The team's data only went up to 2007，but the researchers also explored what would happen if consumers replaced old products with new electronics that serve more than one function，such as a tablet for word processing and TV viewing．They found that more on﹣demand entertainment viewing on tablets instead of TVs and desktop computers could cut energy consumption by 44%．（1）What does the author think of new devices？A．They are environment﹣friendly．B．They are no better than the old．C．They cost more to use at home．D．They go out of style quickly．（2）Why did Babbitt's team conduct the research？A．To reduce the cost of minerals．B．To test the life cycle of a product．C．To update consumers on new technology．D．To find out electricity consumption of the devices．（3）Which of the following uses the least energy？A．The box﹣set TV．B．The tablet．C．The LCD TV．D．The desktop computer．（4）What does the text suggest people do about old electronic devices？A．Stop using them．B．Take them apart．C．Upgrade them．D．Recycle them．第二节（毎小题2分，满分10分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项.选项中有两项为多余选项。

Some kids do just that, and when they do, the grownups swoon. This is how Presidents, movie stars and Olympic med alists start out, isn’t it? Who wouldn’t want a golden child? The problem, of course, is that if boldness is golden, reticence must be silver or bronze—or tin. Introverted children are everywhere—you may be raising one—yet too often they wind up without cheerleaders.So for starters, let’s remember that introversion, in most cases, is good. The accomplishments of deep thinkers, great poets, world-changing scientists stack up quite nicely against those of Oscar winners and Olympians, even if there’s not the same temperamental sizzle to go along with them. Jonas Salk and Marie Curie did not spend a lot of time in the club scene. Neil Armstrong is no one’s idea of a glad-hander. But the fact is, they, like thousands of history’s other greats, might never have a chieved the things they did without their quiet focus.The key for parents raising introverted children is first and most important to accept that vast personality differences exist among all kids, even when they grow up under the same roof with the same parents. My four children are incredibly different, as is the case with my siblings and me. But just because our kids present entirely different faces to us doesn’t mean they should get entirely different responses. It may be easier to react with enthusiasm and applause (often literally) to a child who is an athlete or a dancer than to one whose gifts lie in math and science. And it’s certainly easier to be charmed by your funnier, more charismatic kids than by your quieter, more taciturn ones. But rewarding your children’s diverse skills and styles with equal support is important all the same.Genuine maladaptive shyness, of course, is not at all the same as simple, healthy introversion—and it has very different causes and consequences. Left unaddressed, extreme shyness can hinder language and other kinds of cognitive development. It may also lead to depression, low self-esteem and simple loneliness. While healthy introversion is likely innate, shyness can be heavily influenced by environment. Dynamics in the home that can drive a child inward include abuse, trauma and alcoholism. Birth order, a bullying older sibling and flagrant favoritism by parents can contribute as well.【参考译文】大多数父母希望他们的孩子能自信、大胆勇敢、不怕别人或失败地去接受挑战。

Each passage is followed by s ome questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are 4 choices marked a, b, c, and d.You should decide on the best choice and write the ans wer on the Answer Sheet.Passage OneThe process of perceiving other people is rarely translated (to ourselves or others) into cold, objective terms.”She was 5 feet 8 inches tall, had fair hair, and wore a colored skirt.” More often, we try to get inside the other person to pinpoint his or her attitudes, emotions, motivations, abilities, ideas and characters. Furthermore, we sometimes behave as if we can accomplish this difficult job very quickly-perhaps with a two-second glance.We try to obtain information about others in many ways. Berger suggests several methods for reducing uncertainties about others: watching, without being noticed, a person interacting with others, particularly with others who are known to you so you can compare the observed person’s behavior with the known others’behaviors, observing a person in a situation where social behavior is relatively unrestrained or where a wide variety of behavioral responses are called for; deliberately structuring the physical or social environment so as to observe the person’s responses to specific stimuli,;asking people who have had or have frequent contact with the person abouthim or her; and using various strategies in face-to-face interaction to uncover information about another person-questions, self-disclosures(自我表露), and so on. Getting to know someone is a never-ending task, largely because people are constantly changing and the methods we use to obtain information are often imprecise. You may have known someone for ten years and still know very little about him. If we accept the idea that we won’t ever fully know another person, it enables us to deal more easily with those things that get in the way of accurate knowledge such as secrets and deceptions, It will also keep us from being too surprised or shocked by seemingly inconsistent behavior. Ironically those things that keep us from knowing another person too well (e.g. Secrets and deceptions) may be just as important to the development of satisfying relationship as those things that enable us to obtain accurate knowledge about a person (e.g. Disclosure and truthful statements).21.The word “pinpoint”(Para 1, Line 3) basically means ________.(A) appreciate(B)obtain(C) interpret(D)identify22.What do we learn from the first paragraph?(A) People are better described in cold, objective terms(B) The difficulty of getting to know a person is usually underestimated(C) One should not judge people by their appearance(D)One is usually subjective when assessing other people’s personality23.It can be inferred from Berger’s suggestions that ________.(A) people do not reveal their true self on every occasion.(B) in most cases we should avoid contacting the observed person directly(C) the best way to know a person is by making comparisons(D)face-to-face interaction is the best strategy to uncover information about a person24. In developing personal relationships, secrets and deceptions, in the author’s opinion, are _________.(A)personal matters that should seriously dealt with(B) barriers that should be done away with(C) as significant as disclosures and truthful statements(D) things people should guard against25.The author’s purpose in writing the passage is ________.(A)to give advice on appropriate conduct for social occasions.(B)to provide ways of how to obtain information about people(C)to call the reader’s attention to the negative side of people’s characters(D) to discuss the various aspects of getting to know peoplePassage TwoPsychiatrists（精神病专家)who work with older parents say that maturity can be an asset in child rearing ---- older parents are more thoughtful, use less physical discipline and spend more time with their children. But raising kids takes more money and energy. Many older parents find themselves balancing their limited financial resources, declining energy and failing health against the growing demands of an active child. Dying and leaving young children is probably the older parents’ biggest, and often unspoken, fear. Having late-life children, says an economics professor, often means parents, particularly fathers,”end up retiring much later.” For many, retirement becomes an unobtainable dream.Henry Metcalf, a 54-year-old journalist, knows it takes money to raise kids. But he’s also worried that his energy will give out first. Sure, he can still ride bikes with his athletic fifth grade, but he’s learned that young at heart doesn’t mean young, Lately, he’s been taking afternoon naps to keep up his energy.” My body is aging,”says Metcalf ,”You can’t get away from that.”Often, older parents hear the ticking of another kind of biological clock. Therapists who work with middle-aged and older parents say fears about aging are nothing to laugh at.” They worry they’ll be mistaken for grandparents , or that they’ll need help getting up out of those little chairs in nursery school.”says Joann Galst, a New York psychologist. But at the core of those little fears there is often a much bigger one “that they won’t be alive long enough to support and protect their child,” she says.Many late-life parents, though, say their children came at just the right time. After marrying late and undergoing years of fertility（受孕）treatment. Marilyn Nolen and her husband, Randy, had twins.”We both wanted children,” says Marilyn, who was 55 when she gave birth. The twins have given the couple what they desired for years,”a sense of family”.Kids of older dads are often smarter, happier and more sociable because their fathers are more involved in their lives.”The dads are older, more mature,”says Dr.Silber,” and more ready to focus on parenting.”26. Why do psychiatrists regard maturity as an asset in child rearing?(A) Older parents can better balance their resources against children’s demand.(B) Older parents are usually more experienced in bringing up their children.(C) Older parents are often better prepared financially.(D) Older parents can take better care of their children27. What does the author mean by saying “For many, retirement becomes an unobtainable dream”(Line7-8,Para.1)?(A) They have to go on working beyond their retirement age.(B) They can’t get full pension unless they work some extra years.(C) They can’t obtain the retirement benefits they have dreamed of.(D) They are reluctant to retire when they reach their retirement age.28.The author gives the example of Henry Matcalf to show that _________.(A) many people are young in spirit despite their advanced age.(B) taking afternoon naps is a good way to maintain energy(C) older parents tend to be concerned about their aging bodies.(D) older parents should exercise more to keep up with their athletic children.29. What’s the biggest fear of older parents according to New York psychologist Joann Galst?(A) Being laughed at by other people .(B) Slowing down their pace of life.(C) Being mistaken for grandparents.(D) Approaching of death.30. What do we learn about Marilyn and Randy Nolen?(A) They thought they were an example of successful fertility treatment(B) Not until they have the twins did they feel they had formed a family.(C) They believed that children born of older parents would be smarter.(D) Not until they reached middle age did they think of having children.Passage ThreeInterest in pursing international careers has soared in recent years, enhanced by chronic personnel shortages that are causing companies to search beyond their bome borders for talents.Professionals seek career experience outside of their home countries for a variety of reasons. They may feel the need to recharge their batteries with a new challenge. Theymay want a position with more responsibility that encourages creativity and initiative. Or they may wish to expose their children to another culture, and the opportunity to learn a second language.When applying for a job, one usually has to submit a resume or curriculum vitae(CV). The two terms generally mean the same thing: a one-or two-page document describing one’s educational qualifications and professional experience. However, guidelines for preparing a resume are constantly changing, The best advice is to find out what is appropriate regarding the corporate culture, the country culture, and the culture of the person making the hiring decision. The challenge will be to embrace two or more cultures in one document. The following list is a good place to start.Educational requirements differ from country to country. In almost every case of “cross-border” job hunting, just stating the title of your degree will not be an adequate description. Provide the reader with details about your studies and any related experience.Pay attention to the resume format you use---chronological or reverse-chronological order . Chronological order means listing your “oldest ”work experience first. Reverse-chronological order means listing your current or most recent experience first. Most countries have preference about which format is most acceptable. If you find no specific guidelines, the general preference is for the reverse-chronological format.If you are submitting your resume in English, find out if the recipient uses British English or American English because there are variations between the two versions. For example, university education is often referred to as “tertiary education “ in the United Kingdom, but this term is almost never used in the United States. A reader who is unfamiliar with these variations may assume that your resume contains errors.panies are hiring more foreign employees because ________.(A) they have difficulty finding qualified personnel at home .(B) they find foreign employees are usually more talented.(C) the need original ideas from employees hired overseas(D)they want to expand their business beyond home borders32.The author believe that an individual who applies to work overseas ________.(A) is usually creative and full of initiative.(B) aims to improve his foreign language skills.(C) seeks either his own or his children’s development.(D) is dissatisfied with his own life at home.33. When it comes to resume writing, it is best to ________.(A)know the employer’s personal likes and dislikes.(B) following appropriate guidelines for job hunting.(C) learn about the company’s hiring process.(D) take cultural factors into consideration.34.When writing about qualifications, applicants are advised to ________.(A) provide a detailed description of their study and work experiences.(B) give the title of the university degree they have earned at home.(C) highlight their keen interest in pursuing a “cross-border” career.(D) stress their academic potential to impress the decision maker.35. According to the author’s last piece of advice, the appliance should be aware of ________.(A) the recipient’s preference with regard to the format.(B) the different educational system in the US and the UK.(C) the difference between the varieties of English.(D) the distinctive features of American and British cultures.Passage FourSpeeding off in a stolen car, the thief thinks he has got a great catch. But he is in for an unwelcome surprise. The car is fitted with a remote immobiliser(锁止器)，and a radio signal from a control center miles away will ensure that once the thief switches the engine off, he will not be able to start it again.The idea goes like this. A control box fitted to the car contains a mini-sellphone, a microprocessor and memory,and a GPS satellite positioning receiver. If the car is stolen, a coded cellphone signal will tell the control center to block the vehicle’s engine management system and prevent the engine being restarted.In the UK a set of technical fixes is already making life harder for car thieves.”The pattern of vehicle crime has changed,”says Martyn Randall, a security expert. He says it would only take him a few minutes to teach a person how to steal a car, using a bare minimum of tools. But only if the car is more than 10 years old.Modern cars are far tougher to steal, as their engine management computer won’t allow them to start unless they receive a unique ID code beamed out by theignition(点火)key. In the UK, technologies like this have helped achieve a 31% drop in vehicle-related crime since 1997.But determined criminals are still managing to find other ways to steal ears, often by getting hold of the owner’s keys. And key is responsible for 40%of the thefts of vehicles fitted with a tracking system.If the car travels 100metres without the driver confirming their ID, the system will send a signal to an operations center that is has been stolen. The hundred metres minimum avoids false alarms due to inaccuracies in the GPS signal.Staff at the center will then contact the owner to confirm that the car really is missing and keep police informed of the vehicle’s movement via the car’s GPS unit.36.What’s the function of the remote immobiliser fitted to a car?(A) To allow the car to look automatically when stolen.(B) To prevent the car thief from restarting it once it stops.(C) To help the police make a surprise attack on the car thief.(D) To prevent car thief by sending a radio signal to the car owner.37. By saying “The pattern of vehicle crime has changed”(Lines1-2,Para 3), Martyn Randall suggests that _______.(A) self-prepared tools are no longer enough for car theft.(B) the thief has to make use of computer technology .(C) it makes a longer time for the car thief to do the stealing.(D) the chief has lost interest in stealing cars 10 years old.38. What is essential in making a modern car tougher to steal?(A) A GPS satellite positioning receiver.(B) A unique ID card.(C) A special cellphone signal.(D) A coded ignition key.39. Why does the tracking system set a 100-metre minimum before sending an alarm to the operations center.(A) To give the driver time to contact the operations center.(B) To allow for possible errors in the GPS system.(C) To keep police informed of the car’s movements.(D)To leave time for the operations center to give an alarm.40.What will the operations center do first after receiving an alarm?.(A) Start the tracking system.(B) Locate the missing car.(C) Contact the car owner.(D) Block the car engine.III.Cloze (20 points, 1 x 2)The part of the environmental movement that draws my firm’s attention is the design of cities, buildings and products.

Each passage is followed by s ome questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are 4 choices marked a, b, c, and d.You should decide on the best choice and write the ans wer on the Answer Sheet.Passage OneThe process of perceiving other people is rarely translated (to ourselves or others) into cold, objective terms.”She was 5 feet 8 inches tall, had fair hair, and wore a colored skirt.” More often, we try to get inside the other person to pinpoint his or her attitudes, emotions, motivations, abilities, ideas and characters. Furthermore, we sometimes behave as if we can accomplish this difficult job very quickly-perhaps with a two-second glance.We try to obtain information about others in many ways. Berger suggests several methods for reducing uncertainties about others: watching, without being noticed, a person interacting with others, particularly with others who are known to you so you can compare the observed person’s behavior with the known others’behaviors, observing a person in a situation where social behavior is relatively unrestrained or where a wide variety of behavioral responses are called for; deliberately structuring the physical or social environment so as to observe the person’s responses to specific stimuli,;asking people who have had or have frequent contact with the person abouthim or her; and using various strategies in face-to-face interaction to uncover information about another person-questions, self-disclosures(自我表露), and so on. Getting to know someone is a never-ending task, largely because people are constantly changing and the methods we use to obtain information are often imprecise. You may have known someone for ten years and still know very little about him. If we accept the idea that we won’t ever fully know another person, it enables us to deal more easily with those things that get in the way of accurate knowledge such as secrets and deceptions, It will also keep us from being too surprised or shocked by seemingly inconsistent behavior. Ironically those things that keep us from knowing another person too well (e.g. Secrets and deceptions) may be just as important to the development of satisfying relationship as those things that enable us to obtain accurate knowledge about a person (e.g. Disclosure and truthful statements).21.The word “pinpoint”(Para 1, Line 3) basically means ________.(A) appreciate(B)obtain(C) interpret(D)identify22.What do we learn from the first paragraph?(A) People are better described in cold, objective terms(B) The difficulty of getting to know a person is usually underestimated(C) One should not judge people by their appearance(D)One is usually subjective when assessing other people’s personality23.It can be inferred from Berger’s suggestions that ________.(A) people do not reveal their true self on every occasion.(B) in most cases we should avoid contacting the observed person directly(C) the best way to know a person is by making comparisons(D)face-to-face interaction is the best strategy to uncover information about a person24. In developing personal relationships, secrets and deceptions, in the author’s opinion, are _________.(A)personal matters that should seriously dealt with(B) barriers that should be done away with(C) as significant as disclosures and truthful statements(D) things people should guard against25.The author’s purpose in writing the passage is ________.(A)to give advice on appropriate conduct for social occasions.(B)to provide ways of how to obtain information about people(C)to call the reader’s attention to the negative side of people’s characters(D) to discuss the various aspects of getting to know peoplePassage TwoPsychiatrists（精神病专家)who work with older parents say that maturity can be an asset in child rearing ---- older parents are more thoughtful, use less physical discipline and spend more time with their children. But raising kids takes more money and energy. Many older parents find themselves balancing their limited financial resources, declining energy and failing health against the growing demands of an active child. Dying and leaving young children is probably the older parents’ biggest, and often unspoken, fear. Having late-life children, says an economics professor, often means parents, particularly fathers,”end up retiring much later.” For many, retirement becomes an unobtainable dream.Henry Metcalf, a 54-year-old journalist, knows it takes money to raise kids. But he’s also worried that his energy will give out first. Sure, he can still ride bikes with his athletic fifth grade, but he’s learned that young at heart doesn’t mean young, Lately, he’s been taking afternoon naps to keep up his energy.” My body is aging,”says Metcalf ,”You can’t get away from that.”Often, older parents hear the ticking of another kind of biological clock. Therapists who work with middle-aged and older parents say fears about aging are nothing to laugh at.” They worry they’ll be mistaken for grandparents , or that they’ll need help getting up out of those little chairs in nursery school.”says Joann Galst, a New York psychologist. But at the core of those little fears there is often a much bigger one “that they won’t be alive long enough to support and protect their child,” she says.Many late-life parents, though, say their children came at just the right time. After marrying late and undergoing years of fertility（受孕）treatment. Marilyn Nolen and her husband, Randy, had twins.”We both wanted children,” says Marilyn, who was 55 when she gave birth. The twins have given the couple what they desired for years,”a sense of family”.Kids of older dads are often smarter, happier and more sociable because their fathers are more involved in their lives.”The dads are older, more mature,”says Dr.Silber,” and more ready to focus on parenting.”26. Why do psychiatrists regard maturity as an asset in child rearing?(A) Older parents can better balance their resources against children’s demand.(B) Older parents are usually more experienced in bringing up their children.(C) Older parents are often better prepared financially.(D) Older parents can take better care of their children27. What does the author mean by saying “For many, retirement becomes an unobtainable dream”(Line7-8,Para.1)?(A) They have to go on working beyond their retirement age.(B) They can’t get full pension unless they work some extra years.(C) They can’t obtain the retirement benefits they have dreamed of.(D) They are reluctant to retire when they reach their retirement age.28.The author gives the example of Henry Matcalf to show that _________.(A) many people are young in spirit despite their advanced age.(B) taking afternoon naps is a good way to maintain energy(C) older parents tend to be concerned about their aging bodies.(D) older parents should exercise more to keep up with their athletic children.29. What’s the biggest fear of older parents according to New York psychologist Joann Galst?(A) Being laughed at by other people .(B) Slowing down their pace of life.(C) Being mistaken for grandparents.(D) Approaching of death.30. What do we learn about Marilyn and Randy Nolen?(A) They thought they were an example of successful fertility treatment(B) Not until they have the twins did they feel they had formed a family.(C) They believed that children born of older parents would be smarter.(D) Not until they reached middle age did they think of having children.Passage ThreeInterest in pursing international careers has soared in recent years, enhanced by chronic personnel shortages that are causing companies to search beyond their bome borders for talents.Professionals seek career experience outside of their home countries for a variety of reasons. They may feel the need to recharge their batteries with a new challenge. Theymay want a position with more responsibility that encourages creativity and initiative. Or they may wish to expose their children to another culture, and the opportunity to learn a second language.When applying for a job, one usually has to submit a resume or curriculum vitae(CV). The two terms generally mean the same thing: a one-or two-page document describing one’s educational qualifications and professional experience. However, guidelines for preparing a resume are constantly changing, The best advice is to find out what is appropriate regarding the corporate culture, the country culture, and the culture of the person making the hiring decision. The challenge will be to embrace two or more cultures in one document. The following list is a good place to start.Educational requirements differ from country to country. In almost every case of “cross-border” job hunting, just stating the title of your degree will not be an adequate description. Provide the reader with details about your studies and any related experience.Pay attention to the resume format you use---chronological or reverse-chronological order . Chronological order means listing your “oldest ”work experience first. Reverse-chronological order means listing your current or most recent experience first. Most countries have preference about which format is most acceptable. If you find no specific guidelines, the general preference is for the reverse-chronological format.If you are submitting your resume in English, find out if the recipient uses British English or American English because there are variations between the two versions. For example, university education is often referred to as “tertiary education “ in the United Kingdom, but this term is almost never used in the United States. A reader who is unfamiliar with these variations may assume that your resume contains errors.panies are hiring more foreign employees because ________.(A) they have difficulty finding qualified personnel at home .(B) they find foreign employees are usually more talented.(C) the need original ideas from employees hired overseas(D)they want to expand their business beyond home borders32.The author believe that an individual who applies to work overseas ________.(A) is usually creative and full of initiative.(B) aims to improve his foreign language skills.(C) seeks either his own or his children’s development.(D) is dissatisfied with his own life at home.33. When it comes to resume writing, it is best to ________.(A)know the employer’s personal likes and dislikes.(B) following appropriate guidelines for job hunting.(C) learn about the company’s hiring process.(D) take cultural factors into consideration.34.When writing about qualifications, applicants are advised to ________.(A) provide a detailed description of their study and work experiences.(B) give the title of the university degree they have earned at home.(C) highlight their keen interest in pursuing a “cross-border” career.(D) stress their academic potential to impress the decision maker.35. According to the author’s last piece of advice, the appliance should be aware of ________.(A) the recipient’s preference with regard to the format.(B) the different educational system in the US and the UK.(C) the difference between the varieties of English.(D) the distinctive features of American and British cultures.Passage FourSpeeding off in a stolen car, the thief thinks he has got a great catch. But he is in for an unwelcome surprise.

Sufferers from this rare condition find their hearts pound as if a heart attack were coming on as a result of their brains releasing adrenalin at the mere prospect of a left-oriented maneuver. They refuse to stand on the left side of an elevator, make left-hand turns when driving, sometimes even to look to the left. Psychologists believe levophobia will only disappear entirely when left-handed children---a minority in all known societies---are fully accepted.21. What was the preceding paragraph probably about?(A) other problems caused by attitudes towards left-handed children(B) the advantages of being right-handed as a child(C) other causes of levophobia(D) a definition of levophobia22.

It is believed that levophobia will not be eradicated until(A) certain general attitudes change.(B) left-handers are in a majority.(C) sufferers’ irrational fears are dealt with by psychologists.(D) sufferers change their uncooperative ways.25. According to the passage, levophobia(A) affects only children.(B) is likely to disappear soon.(C) is a psychological problem.(D) is a heart ailment.Text 2Several hundred grave sites have been found throughout Iceland dating from the time of the first settlements, some 1,100 years ago, to the time the Icelandic people embraced Christianity around the year 1000 A.D. The evidence they offer of that pagan era suggests some Viking influence as bodies were occasionally laid in boats, but the dead were more commonly provided with one or, exceptionally, two small Icelandic horses. This custom, of course, equally connotes a journey to the land of the dead and it also provides evidence both that these horses have been the Icelanders’ companions from the very first and that the breed has remained pure over the centuries right down to the present day.26. Approximately how long die the “pagan era” in Iceland last?(A) one hundred years.(B) several hundred years.(C) one thousand years.(D) one thousand one hundred years27. Which of the following can be said of the grave sites found in Iceland?(A) They are located in the very first settlements.(B) They were discovered about 1,100 years ago.(C) They are located in many different parts of the country.(D) They were usually built by travelers.28.

Which of the following cannot be said of the contents of the pagan graves?(A) The bodies were rarely laid in boats.(B) They occasionally evidenced Viking influence.(C) The bodies were generally accompanied by two small horses.(D) They had not been given a Christian burial.30. Which of the following can be inferred from the passage?(A) The small Icelandic breed of horses has remained unchanged for over athousand years.(B) The first Vikings brought Christianity to Iceland.(C) Icelandic horses live to a great age.(D) Horses were first brought to Iceland by Christian missionaries.Text 3Between 1977 and 1981, three groups of American women, numbering 27 in all, between the ages of 35 and 65, were given month-long tests to determine how they would respond to conditions resembling those aboard the space shuttle.Though carefully selected from among many applicants, the women were volunteers and pay was barely above the minimum wage. They were not allowed to smoke or drink alcohol during the tests, and they were expected to tolerate each others’ company at close quarters for the entire period. Among other things, they had to stand pressure three times the force of gravity and carry out both physical and mental tasks while exhausted from strenuous physical exercise. At the end of ten days, they had to spend a further twenty days absolutely confined to bed, during which time they suffered backaches and other discomforts, and when they were finally allowed up, the more physically active women were especially subject to pains due to a slight calcium loss.Results of the tests suggest that women will have significant advantages over men in space. They need less food and less oxygen and they stand up to radiation better. Men’s advantages in terms of strength and stamina, meanwhile, are virtually wiped out by the zero-gravity condition in space.31.Which would be the most suitable title for the passage?(A) Older Women, Too, Can Travel in Space.(B) Space Testing Causes Backaches in Women.(C) Poor Wages for Women Space Test Volunteers.(D) Tests Show Women Suited for Space Travel.32. What can be said about the women who applied?(A) They were 27 in all.(B) They were anxious to give up either smoking or drinking.(C) They had previously earned the minimum wage.(D) They choose to participate in the tests.33. The calcium loss particularly affected(A) all the women tested.(B) those who had been particularly active in the previous ten days.(C) those who were generally very active.(D) those who had suffered backaches.34. Which of the following is suggested as being least useful in space?(A) high resistance to radiation.(B) unusual strength.(C) low food intake.(D) low oxygen intake35. The physical advantages men enjoy in normal conditions are counteracted by(A) conditioning.(B) virtue.(C) zero gravity(D) food and oxygenTest 4In place of submitting a traditional application for admission, prospective students may choose to apply for admission under the Test Score Application System. Under this system, the University accepts as applications the official score reports from either the American College Test (ACT) or the Scholastic Aptitude Test (SAT). High school juniors and seniors who take the ACT or the SAT should indicate this university as a score recipient of their ACT or SAT registration form. Upon receipt of the ACT student Profile report or the SAT report, the Admission Office will notify students of their eligibility for admission. Under this system, it is unnecessary to submit a high school transcript until after graduation unless the student wishes to apply for a scholarship.36. According to the passage, the Test Score Application System is(A) optional.(B) preferable.(C) traditional.(D) required.37. A student using the Test Score Application System(A) submits scores from two tests.(B) is accepted by the University.(C) must be in high school.(D) has to take one of two tests.38.
