When she was six，Alexia began to learn Chinese.The girl is now learning German at school in Cambridge.Alexia has been longing to be an interpreter since she was six and she chose to go to the European Parlia-ment as her prize when she won a young achiever of the year award.She asked if she could shadow interpreters and Mr.Sturdy agreed to take her along as his guest.Alexia worked with the head of interpreting and had a real taste o life in parliament.“It was fantastic and I’m absolutely determined now to become an inter-preter”，she said.36.What does the passage tell about Alexia Sloane？A.She is very proud of her parents.B.She is a quick learner of languages.C.She has learned five foreign languages.D.She has difficulties with language learning.37.Why did Alexia need special permission to enter the parliament building？A.She was not in a state of good health.B.She did not meet the age requirement.C.She could not afford the admission fees.D.She did not have an adult to accompany her.38.What did Alexia want to do after she got the award？A.To visit the European Parliament.B.To travel to other European countries.C.To apply for a position in the government.D.To study German at Cambridge University.39.The tone of the passage can be best described as.A.admiringB.criticalC.understandingD.doubtfulPassage TwoGenerations of Americans have been brought up to believe that a good breakfast is essential to one’s life. Eating breakfast at the start of the day，we have been told，and told again，is as necessary as putting gasoline in the family car before starting a trip.But for many peo-ple，the thought of food as the first thing in the morning is never a pleasure.So despite all the efforts，they still take no breakfast.Between1977and1983，the latest year for which figures could be obtained，the number of people who didn’t have breakfast increased by33%-from8.8mil-lion to11.7million-according to the Chicago-based Market Research Corporation of America.For those who dislike eating breakfast，however，there is some good news.Several studies in the last few years have shown that，for adults especially，there may be nothing wrong with omitting breakfast.“Going without breakfast does not affect work,”said Arnold E.Bender，former professor of nutrition at Queen Elizabeth College in London，“nor does giving people breakfast improve work.”Scientific evidence linking breakfast to better health or better work is surprisingly inadequate（不充分的），and most of the recent work involves children，not adults.“The litera-ture,”says one researcher，Dr.Earnest Polite at the Uni-versity of Texas，“is poor.”40.Which of these is mentioned in the second paragraph？A.8.8million people got involved in a study on eat-ing habits.B.Many people fill their cars with gasoline in the morning.C.A company carried out a research in1983.D.The number of the people who skip breakfast has increased.41.Which is closest in meaning to the underlined part？A.Having breakfast does improve work.B.Giving people breakfast improves work.C.Going without breakfast can improve work，too.D.Having breakfast does not improve work，either.42.What does the word“literature”in the last sen-tence refer to？A.Modern American literature.B.Written works on a subject.C.Any printed materials.D.Stories，poems and plays.43.Which of the following statements best summa-rizes the writer’s conclusion about the function of breakfast？A.Omitting breakfast helps improve work.B.Eating breakfast is absolutely necessary.C.There isn’t strong evidence to prove that break-fast is a must.D.Scientists have produced sufficient evidence in support of breakfast.Passage Three44.What can we learn from the second advertisement？A.It is easy to get a suntan in summer.B.Sunlight could make one look older.C.Suntan is regarded as a sign of protection.D.Everyone wants to get a suntan from holiday.45.Why is suitable for everyone?A.Its price is more attractive.B.It can be used to relieve sunburn.C.It has a mild protection factor.D.It can make the skin cells more active.pared with，Bergasol.A.is a better sun tan oil.B.better protects one’s skin.C.is more competitive in price.D.helps one go brown more quickly.47.What is the most attractive feature of？A.It helps one get a more beautiful tan.B.It is often on sale in supermarkets.C.It helps one tan gradually and gently.D.It blocks out more sun’s rays than other oils.Passage FourIdeas about polite behaviour differ from one culture to another.Some societies，such as America and Aus-tralia，for example，are mobile and very open.People here change jobs and move house quite often.As a result，they have a lot of relationships that often last only a short time，and they need to get to know people quickly.So it’s normal to have friendly conversations with people that they have just met，and you can talk about things that other cultures would regard as personal.On the other hand，there are more crowded and less mobile societies where long-term relationships are more important.A Malaysian or Mexican business person，for example，will want to get to know you very well before he or she feels happy to start business.But when you do get to know each other，the relationship becomes much deeper than it would in a mobile society.To Americans，both Europeans and Asians seem cool and formal at first.On the other hand，as a passenger from a less mobile society puts it，it’s no fun spending several hours next to a stranger who wants to tell you all about his or her life and asks you all sorts of questions that you don’t want to answer.Cross-cultural differences aren’t just a problem for travelers，but also for people in daily life.Some societies have“universalist”cultures.These societies strongly re-spect rules，and they treat very person and situation in basically the same way.“Particularist”（强调特性）so-cieties also have rules，but they are less important than the society’s unwritten ideas about what is right or wrong for a particular situation or a particular person.So the normal rules are changed to fit the needs of the situ-ation or the importance of the person.48.What can be learned from Paragraph1？A.Short-term relationships are common in a mo-bile society.B.People from a mobile society dislike talking about personal affairs.C.Americans tend to make more friends than peo-ple from other cultures.D.It is difficult for Americans and Australians to communicate with strangers.49.Who do Malaysians prefer to start business with according to the passage？A.Those who they know well enough.B.Those who talk a lot about themselves.C.Those who enjoy talking with strangers.D.Those who want to do business with them.50.Which of the following is true about the rules in “particularist”societies？A.They don’t exist.B.People respect and obey them completely.C.No one obeys them.D.They change to fit different situations.51.What is the main idea of this passage？A.Cultural differences are important.B.Less mobile societies have fewer rules.C.People from mobile societies are more polite.D.Polite behaviour varies with different cultures.Passage FiveClaude-Oscar Monet（1840-1926）was a French artist and a leading member of the Impressionist group of painters.Born in Paris，Monet spent his childhood in Le Havre.There he met a local artist，Eugene Boudin，who encouraged him to become a landscape painter.In1859，Monet went to Paris to study at the A-cademie Suisse.Between1860and1862，Monet served in the army in Algeria（阿尔及利亚）.He returned to Paris where he met most of the major artists of the era.In1870，Monet married Camille Doncieux.To es-cape the Franco-Prussian war，they moved to London. Back to France，they settled at Argenteuil，a boating centre on the Seine（塞纳河）which drew many other Impressionist painters.Working from nature was a par-ticular symbol of the Impressionist movement，and one that Monet valued，reflecting in his paintings the ev-er-changing impact of light and weather conditions.In1872，he visited Le Havre where he painted“An Impression，Sunrise”.When exhibited in1874，part of its title was used by a critic to label the whole movement “Impressionism”.Monet’s wife died in1879，and he set up home with Alice Hoschede，the wife of one of his most impor-tant sponsors.During the1880s，Monet travelled through France painting a variety of landscapes.He gradually be-came better known and for the last30years of his life he was regarded as the greatest of the ImpressionistsFrom1890he began to paint a series（系列）of pic-tures of one subject，including“Haystacks”，“Rouen Cathedral”and“Waterlilies”.The latter were painted in the fine garden Monet created at his house at Giverny，where he lived from1883on.He painted them over and over again，most significantly in a series especially for a museum in Paris.52.Monet was introduced to art.A.during his visit to ParisB.by his father in Le HavreC.during his short stay in AlgeriaD.by an artist in his childhood53.Which of the following is true according to the passage？A.Impressionism was born in London.B.Monet was one of the sponsors of lmpressiorusm.C.Impressionist paintings are mainly based on na-ture.D.Argenteuil was the birthplace of many impres-sionists.54.What is said about the painting“An Impres-sion，Sunrise”？A.It established Monet’s fame as an artist for the first time.B.It invited a lot of strong criticism from the public.C.It was the origin of the name“Impressionism”.D.It was painted by Monet and Eugene Boudin.55.What do we know about Monet’s life since 1890?A.He painted only for a museum in Paris.B.He devoted himself to travelling overseas.C.He focused on paintings of a particular theme.D.He was influenced by Alice in his painting style.V.Daily Conversation（15points）Directions:Pick out appropriate expressions from the eight choices below and complete the following dialogue.Lisa:Well，honey，how did you like the opera？Henry:56？Lisa:Of course.Henry:To tell the truth，I was bored to death.What a ridiculous art form!57.Lisa:Hum!58？It was beautiful.And you just saw one of my favourite operasHenry:59，dear.I know you like opera，but it just isn’t for me.I’d rather read a novel or watch a movie.Lisa:But you don’t know how to appreciate opera 60.Henry：OK，what you’re saying may be true.VI.Writing（25points）Directions:For this part，you are supposed to write an essay in English in100~120words based on the following information.Remember to write it clearly.61.你（Li Yuan）是班长，准备周末组织全班同学参观历史博物馆（the Museum of History）。

Conversation in our house is better now ，not because I'm talking more.I ’m just listening betterand becoming less and less surprised that I like what I hear.36 题单选According to the passage ，the author is most likely a__________ .A.driverB.teacherC.doctorD.Journalist参考答案：D37 题单选What does the wife mean by asking “Did you even hear whatI just said? ”in Paragraph 1 ?A.Yon should listen to me.B.You didn ’t want to talk with me.C.You should tell me what I said just now.D.You didn ’t have to nod while you were listening.参考答案：A38 题单选What is true of the author after the surgery?A.He was required to keep silent for the first few monthsB.He was worried about his recovery after the surgery.C.He was unable to communicate with his son.D.He was unwilling to talk to his wife.参考答案：C39 题单选What did the author realize after the surgery?A.His wife was a talkative woman.B.His house was full of pleasant talks.C.His son didn ’t like talking.D.His dog liked pleasant birdsongs.参考答案：BPassage TwoCoconut( 椰子)is an unusual food for many reasons.It is one of thelargest edible seeds produced by any plant.Its unusual contents also make it unique in the seed world —it consists of both “meat“and “water ”inside.The coconut meat is the white substance with which we are allfamiliar ，as it is used extensively for cooking and flavorings;the coconut water is a white and sweet liquid. Portuguese( 葡萄牙的) explorers gavethe nut its name in the l5th century, referring to it as coco ，meaning “ghost ”in their language.The outside appearance of coconuts reminded them of a ghost ’s face ，and the tree has had that name ever since.The coconut has varied uses.It is used to make various cooking oilsfor fast food restaurants around the world to make diet materials.Thecoconut fluid is a favorite drink in hot climates ，providing a cool and refreshing beverage right off the tree.This water is also used bymanufacturers of various sports drinks.Even the shell itself has manyuses，including animal food and fertilizer.And all these are only someof the uses found for the coconut fruit.The coconut tree ，which produces the nut ，also produces manyuseful things.It ’s no wonder that the coconut tree has been taken as “the tree of life ”.40 题单选What does the underlined word“edible ’in Paragraph 1 mean?A.Visible.B.Collectible.C.AvailableD.Eatable.参考答案：D41 题单选The coconut got its name because of __________ .A.its hard shellB.its white colorC.its ghostlike appearanceD.its round shape参考答案：C42 题单选What is the passage mainly about?A.The history of coconut.es of coconut.C.The discovery of coconut.D.Types of coconut seeds参考答案：B43 题单选What can be learned from the passage?A.Coconut trees are useful plants.B.Coconut oil is rare and expensive.C.Coconut trunks are houses for birds.D.Coconut fluid can become fertilizer.参考答案：APassage ThreeMost students choose“Homestay”accommodation whenthey study abroad：others select Homestay even if they are not on a study visit.Statisticsshowthat it ’s a form of accommodation gaining in popularity all the time.But what is Homestay? And what makes it so popular?Homestay meansliving with a family ，or “host family ”as we say.There are three ways of doing it ：choose to learn English in a language school near to your Homestay location ：have your English classes in the housewith a memberof the family who is a qualified teacher; select not to have classes at all when you visit ——a popular choice if you want to do thetourist thing for example.Even in their busy summer period the organizations that arrange the Homestays will always try to place you with the most suitable host family to match your requirements.Placement( 安置)organizations think about location ，interests ，language level ，eating requirements ，allergies ( 过敏)and other requests you may have.Though prices vary according to your needs ，good quality Homestay accommodation can be relatively economical--and although you may becharged an extra amount of money if you want your Homestay in or near the city center.Even if you stay further out ，you can expect your journey into the center not to exceed 30 minutes.Not only does Homestay accommodation represent value for money ，it also gives you an excellent opportunity to practice English with your host family.This is a very important extra for students who like to speak asmuch English as possible. But if you plan to learn English ，why not have your English classes in your host family. There’s no better way to learn English than this —the perfect combination of learning and accommodation combined with the cultural experience !44 题单选Homestay is an ideal choice for students who __________ .A.plan to visit relativesB.want to stay at homeC.plan to study overseasD.want to learn statistics参考答案：C45 题单选Who will consider students ’requirements before their Homestay starts?A.The English teacher.B.The placement organization.C.The host family.D.The language school.参考答案：B46 题单选Which of the following is a key factor affecting the priceof Homestay?A.Nationality of the host family.B.Eating habits of the host family.C.Students ’language level.D.Students ’specific needs.参考答案：D47 题单选What can be inferred from the passage?A.The author is in favor of Homestay accommodation.B.The author is doubtful about the safety of Homestay.C.The author finds Homestay arrangement complicated.D.The author finds Homestay accommodation expensive.参考答案：APassage FourUsing 1ess energy around the home is easier than you might think ，saving you moneywhile creating a heathier ，more comfortable living space for you and your family. Changing a few old habits can make an impact onyour energy bill ，your comfort and the environment. Here are somehandy tips to makeyour house more energy-efficient. Lower the heat If your home has adjustable central heating ，lowering the room temperature evenslightly can makea difference. You maynot feel it ，but your wallet will.It is even more advisable to control temperatures at different times ofthe day.Hang clothes out to dryIf the weather allows it ，head outside and dry your laundry on a clothesline. The sunlight will help eliminate bacteria and dust. Whileclothes dryers get the job done faster ，they also use up energy.By hanging your clothes out you ’ll be cutting greenhouse gases by about threekilograms per load.Take advantage of natural lightInstalling large windows on the northern side of your house can helpyou make use of sunlight ’s natural warmth. To stay cool indoors on hot summerdays，install blinds( 百叶窗) to block the heavy sun.Put your desk near the window ，then you don ’t need a lamp in the daytime.Wrap(裹)your pipesBe sure your hot —water pipes are properly wrapped.In an average home，heating wateraccounts for more than one—quarter of the energy bill.Why let warmth go to waste before it reaches you?Choose the right size for appliances( 家用电器)Whenthe time comes to replace appliances ，select those that are both energy—efficient and of the appropriate size for your needs.Don ’t buy bigger ones just because you can.48 题单选What benefit may using less energy at home bring about?A.Having a healthier living environment.B.Improving your work efficiency.C.Keeping old habits unchanged.D.Enlarging your living space.参考答案：A49 题单选Which of the following is one of the advantages of hangingclothes out to dry?A.It may help to build a greenhouse.B.It helps remove bacteria in clothes.C.It uses half the energy that clothes dryers do.D.It gets clothes dry much faster than clothes dryers.参考答案：B50 题单选What can be installed on the northern side of your house tomake better use of natural light?A.Blinds.B.Curtains.C.Windows.D.Shades.参考答案：C51 题单选Besides energy-efficiency ，what else should be considered when replacing appliances?A.Replacing time.B.Reasonable price.C.Good quality.D.Proper size.参考答案：DPassage FiveAs we recently discovered ，there is a Stepmother ’s Day，though it is not on any official holiday calendar.So ，it would be safe to assumethat there is a similar day for stepdads ，too.Right? Well ，it depends on what you read.A Google search brought upposts that say ，for example ，“It ’s on father ’s day--father ’s day is for fathers ，step —fathers and people who are like fathers to you-it ’s a day for making father figures feel special. ”Further searching found a Stepfather ’s Day Facebook page that says，“The unofficial Stepfather ’s Day is the fourth Sunday of June. ”Unfortunately ，as of the publishing of this article ，only 30 people have “liked ”the page.Considering that studies show 3.3 million men，or 11.1%of U.S.fathers ，live with at least one stepchild ，that ’s only a drop in the ocean.It ’s interesting to note that there is a National Grandparents ’Day.President Jimmy Carter signed it into law in w! Whilegrandparents are undoubtedly special people in our children ’s lives ，they are often seen as the most loving family members.But what about the stepparents? The stepparents are the ones who are often the outsiders ，the ones whohave to endure the hurtful “You’re not mydad! ”or “You’re not my mom! ”And yet they never give up.They do their best to overcome the inherent challenges of stepparents and be role models for their stepchildren.These unsung( 未被颂扬的)family heroes deserve “official ”days of honor.Perhaps if we are loud enough，President Obam，a whohad a stepfather himself ，will sign into law National Stepmother ’s Day and National Stepfather ’s Day.Are you with me? Follow me and get your voice heard.How cool it wouldbe if we could make this happen!52 题单选What does the underlined word“that ’’in Paragraph 1 refer to?A.Father figures who are equally honored in the U.S.B.30 people who support Stepfather ’s Day on the Facebook page.C.3.3 million men who live with at least one stepchild in the world.D.11.1%of U.S.fathers who live with at least one stepchild in the U.S.参考答案：B53 题单选What did President Jimmy Carter sign into law in 1978 ?A.The National Grandparents ’Day.B.The National Grandchildren ’s Day.C.The National Stepparents ’Day.D.The National Stepchildren ’s Day.参考答案：A54 题单选Which of the following is closest in meaning to the word“inherent ”in paragraph 2 ?.A.Unbelievable.B.Toughsting.D.Inevitable.参考答案：D55 题单选What is the reason for setting an official holiday forstepparents?A.Because they love their role as stepparents.B.Because they are often treated as heroes in the family.C.Because they deserve respect and honor as family members.D.Because they are often seen as the most loving family members 。

成考专升本《英语》测试题及答案（4）2016年成考专升本《英语》测试题及答案Passage ThreeThe large part which war played in English affairs in the Middle-Ages， the fact that the control of the army and navy was in the hands of those that spoke French， and the circumstances that much of English fighting was done in France all resulted in the introduction into English of a number of French military terms. The art of war has undergone such changes since the battles of Hastings，Lewes，and Agincourt that many words once common are now only in historical use. Their places have been taken by later borrowings， often like wise from French， many of them being words acquired by the French in the course of their wars in Italy during the sixteenth century. Yet we still use French words of the Middle Ages when we speak of the army and the navy， of peace， enemy， battle， soldier， guard and spy，and we have kept the names of officers such as captain and sergeant. Some of the French terms were introduced into English because they were needed to express a new object or a new idea. In other cases a French and a native English word for the same thing existed side by side. Sometimes one or the other has since been lost from the language; but sometimes both the borrowed and the native word have been still in common use.71. The main idea of this passage is that ______.A. most of today‘s common English military terms dated from the sixteenth century or laterB. a study of the English vocabulary shows the important part which war has played in the history of EnglandC. many French words borrowed into English during theMiddle Ages have since disappeared from the languageD. many military terms used in English were originally borrowed from French， some as early as the Middle Age 正确答案是：D72. All of the following have something to do with the introduction into English of many French military terms except that _______.A. war played an important part in English affairs in the Middle AgesB. the English army and navy were controlled by those who spoke French in the war between England and FranceC. France invaded England in the Middle Ages and many battles were fought in EnglandD. much of English fighting was done in France in the war between England and France正确答案是：C73. The art of war has undergone such changes that _______.A. we no longer use any French words of the Middle AgesB. many words once common are not used any longer and they are replaced by Italian wordsC. French military terms have disappeared from the English languageD. many words once common are now only in historical use and their places have been taken by the newly-borrowed words 正确答案是：D74. Which of the following is not the French word borrowed into English during the Middle Ages?A. sergeantB. battleC. spyD. fight正确答案是：D75. The writer takes the words “battle” and “fight” as anexample to show______.A. French words are needed to express something newB. a French and a native word for the same thing have been still in common use side by sideC. French word or the other has been lost from the English languageD. “battle” is the borrowed word and “fight” is the native one正确答案是：BPassage Four“Fingers were made before forks” when a person gives up good manners， puts aside knife and fork， and dives into his food， someone is likely to repeat that saying.The fork was an ancient agricultural tool， but for centuries no one thought of eating with it. Not until the eleventh century，when a young lady from Constantinople brought her fork to Italy，did the custom reach Europe.By the fifteenth century the use of the fork was widespread in Italy. The English explanation was that Italians were averse to eating food touched with fingers，“Seeing all men‘s fingers are not alike clean.” English travellers kept their friends in stitches while describing this ridiculous Italian custom.Anyone who used a fork to eat with was laughed at in England for the next hundred years. Men who used forks were thought to be sissies， and women who used them were called show-offs and overnice. Not until the late 1600‘s did using a fork become a common custom.76. The custom of eating with a fork was _______.A. brought to Europe from AmericaB. begun when forks were inventedC. brought to Europe from AsiaD. invented by Italians正确答案是：C77.

For each question there are four suggested answers marked A， B， C and D. Choose one best answer and blacken the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet.Passage OneStudents enrolled at least half time may borrow up to $3，000 form the government over a two-year period. Repayment of the loan begins six months after the student leaves school. These loans carry on interest until this time. The current interest rate is 5 percent. Students may borrow up to $4，500 annually from a bank，credit union，savings and loan association or other eligible lender. Repayment on these loans usually begins six months after the student leaves school. These loans carry no interest until this time. This current interest rate is 9 percent. Parents may borrow up to $300 annually for each dependent college. Repayment begins forty-five days after receiving the loan， and the interest rate is 12 percent.61. Which of the following is the main purpose?A. To remind students and their families to repay their loan.B. To compare interest rates.C.

It can be inferred from the passage that _______.A. the student‘s school determines who is an eligible lenderB. money is available for student loansC. students need not be enrolled half time to borrow moneyD. the interest rate on student loans is increasing正确答案是：BPassage TwoAre you aware that you actually possess six senses? The sixth is a muscular sense responsible for directing your muscles intelligently to the exact extent necessary for each action you perform. For example，when you reach for an object，the sensory nerves linking the muscles to the brain stop your hand at the correct spot. This automatic perception of the position ofyour muscles in relation to the object is your muscular sense in action.Muscles are stringly bundles of fibers varying from one five-thousandth of an inch to about three inches. They have three unique characteristics，they can become shorter and thicker; they can stretch; and they can retract to their original positions. Under a high-powered microscope，muscle tissue is seen as long， slender cells with a grainy texture like wood.More than half of a person‘s body is composed of muscle fibers， most of which are involuntary—in other words， work without conscious direction. The voluntary muscles， those that we move consciously to perform particular actions，number more than five hundred. Women have only 60 to 70 percent as much muscle as men for their body mass. That is why an average woman can’t lift as much， throw as far， or hit as hard as an average man.66. According to the selection，the muscular sense is responsible for ______.A. the efficiency of our musclesB. the normal breathing functionC. directing our muscles intelligentlyD. the work of only our involuntary muscles正确答案是：C67. Intelligent use of the muscles means that ________.A. one always knows what his muscles are doingB. one performs simple actions whithout workingC. one‘s muscles are used only to the extent necessary for each action they performD. one improves muscular action consciously正确答案是：C68. Muscles are unique fibers because， they can ________.A. contractB. stretchC. retractD. do all of the above正确答案是：D69. Under a microscope， muscle cells appear to be _______.A. textured like woodB. colored like woodC. smooth and redD. short and thick正确答案是：A70. Accor ding to the selection more than half of a person‘s body is composed of ______.A. voluntary musclesB. involuntary musclesC. muscle fibersD. sensory nerves正确答案是：C。

One Friday afternoon he was riding along the track towards the Henderson farm. He was loo for a prize bull which had escaped from the Borrogee paddock. He reached the hills and saw at once that he could not go further.There had been a fire in the forest which had gone out. But the air was still full of smoke and fallen trees had blocked the track. Jack was just going to turn back when he saw something moving in the smoke. He waited. It was a girl on a horse, and she was riding towards him. “There’s a badly burnt man on the farm,” the girl shouted. “He saved my life. Please help me to save him.”The girl was Cathy Henderson. She had been on horseback for two hours. She had to jump over fallen trees that were still burning. Her pony had fallen with her twice. She was thirsty and almost dead from want of sleep. But she rode back to the farm with Jack immediately.Joe Brook was unconsciou s when they reached him. They lifted him onto Jack’s horse. The ride back to Borrogee was terrible. Cathy was so tired that Jack had to tie her to her pony. The pony was tired too, but its courage was astonishing. It followed Jack right to Borrogee Hospital. Nobody saw them arrive because it was night. “I’ve never seen a horse like that pony,” Jack said. Cathy praised Jack Billabong, but she refused to say anything about the pony, “Joe will write about her in his story,” she said.But she did say one thing: “If flame hadn’t returned to the farm that afternoon, Joe and I would have died.”16.

Dr. Aiken studied a number of couples who had been married for at least twenty-five years. Each couple provided four photographs—one photo of each partner at the time of their marriage and another photo of each partner twenty-five or more years later. All background was cut from the photos to remove any clues. The photos were then displayed in groups: a random grouping of the persons at the time of their marriage and another random grouping of the same persons who took photographs later. Some testees were asked to pick out the partners. They failed totally with the first group. Their judgements were no better than chance. But with the photos taken twenty-five or more years after the marriage, the testees were quite successful with the most happily-married couples.Dr. Aiken believes there are several reasons why couples grow alike. One reason has something to do with imitation. One person tends to copy or do the same as someone else without knowing it. He says human begins to imitate the expressions of the faces of their loved ones. “Another possible reason,” he says, “is the common experience of the couples.” There is a tendency for people who have the same life experience to change their faces in similar ways. For example, if a couple have suffered from a lot of sad experiences, their faces are likely to change in a similar way.21. Dr. Aiken cut the background from the photos for the purpose of __________.A. imitating the couples’ lifeB. grouping the couples againC. leaving no trace for the testeesD. giving the testees more chances22. The underlined sentence “Their judgements were no better than chance” implies that the testees __________.A. did a good job in ma their choices.B. had difficulty in pic out the partnersC. had no chance to make the right judgementsD. did better with the first group than with the second23. The underlined word “imitate” (in Para. 2) has a similar mea ning to __________.A. copyB. changeC. knowD. suffer24. From the passage we can draw the conclusion that ___________.A. couples who look alike can live longerB. most partners have been proved to grow alikeC. the influence between partners can be quite strongD. happily-married couples are often richer than others25. The main purpose of the passage is to ___________.A. explain why couples grow alikeB. tell how couples like each otherC. discuss the function of marriageD. describe the life of happily married couplesPassage ThreeThe three biggest lies in America are: (1) “The check is in the mail”, (2) “Of course I’ll respect you in the morning”, and (3) “It was a computer error.”Of these three little white lies, the worst is the third. It’s the only one that can never be true. Today, if a bank statement cheats you out of $ 900 that way, you know what the clerk is sure to say,” It was a computer error.” Nonsense. The computer is reporting nothing more than what the clerk typed into it.The most annoying case of all is when the computerized cashier in the grocery store shows that an item costs more than it actually does. If the innocent buyer points out the mistake, the checker, bagger, and manager all come together and offer the familiar explanatio n: “It was a compute error.”It wasn’t, of course that computerized cashier is really nothing more than an electric event. The eye reads the Universal Product Code—chat bar of black and white lines in a corner of the package—and then checks the code against a price list stored in memory. If the price list is right, you’ll be charged accurately.Grocery stores update the price list each day—that is, somebody sits at a keyboard and types in the prices. If the price they type in is too high, there are only two explanations: carelessness or dishonesty. But somehow “a computer error” is supposed to excuse everything.One reason we let people hide behind a computer is the common misperception that huge, modern computers are electric brain with “artificial intelligence.” At some point there might be a machine with intelligence but none exists today. The smartest computer on Earth right now is no more intelligent than your average pen. At this point in the development of computers, the only thing any machine can do is what a human has instructed it to do.26. Of the three lies, the one about computer is the worst because the computer itself __________.A. says nonsenseB. cheats customersC. cannot make the errorD. does not admit its error27. According to the author, a computerized cashier is really just ___________.A. a machine to count moneyB. a machine to receive moneyC. an instrument to print codesD. an instrument to read codes28. Grocery store price lists are updated by ____________.A. a computerB. a keyboardC. an employeeD. an electric brain29. The last paragraph of the passage implies that computers ____________.A. are very cleverB. never make mistakesC. have a good memoryD. are controlled by men30. Which of the following describes the main idea of the passage?A. Computers are stupid and inefficient.B. Computer errors are due to its dishonesty.C. Computers help stores update the price list.D. Computer errors are actually human errors.Passage FourI came across an old country guidebook the other day. It listed all the tradesmen in each village, and it was impressive to see the past variety of services which were available on one’s own doorstep in the late Victorian countryside. Nowadays a traveler in rural England might conclude that the only village tradesmen still flourishing were either selling frozen food to the villagers or selling antiques to visitors. Nevertheless, this would really be a false impression. On the surface, there has been a decline of village commerce, but its power is still remarkable.Our local grocer’s shop, for example, is actually expanding in spite of the competition from supermarkets in the nearest town. Women sensibly prefer to go there and exchange the local news while doing their shopping, instead of queuing up at a supermarket. And the grocer knows well that personal service has a considerable cash value.His prices may be a bit higher than those in the town, but he will deliver anything at any time. His assistants think nothing of bicycling down the village street in their lunch hour to take a piece of cheese to an old retired woman who sent her order by word of mouth with a friend who happened to be passing. The richer customers telephone their shopping lists and the goods are on their doorsteps within an hour. They have only to hint at a fancy for some commodity outside the usual stock and the grocer, a red faced-figure, instantly obtains it for them.31. Nowadays the commercial services in the village are ____________.A. still very activeB. quickly decliningC. unable to flourishD. personal to visitors32. The local grocer’s shop is expanding because _____________.A. the competition there is weakB. it is a place for women to chatC. it provides good personal serviceD. the goods there are more valuable33. Which of the following is true about the supermarkets?A. Prices there are much higherB. Customers often have to queue up.C. Customers can order by telephone.D. Their personal services are satisfactory.34. How do the village grocer’s assistants feel about giving extra service?A. They don’t think it a trouble.B. They don’t think it worthwhile.C. They don’t consider it a good deal.D. They don’t consider it a pleasant experience.35. One special feature of the village shop is that ___________.A. there is a very wide range of goods availableB. customers can order goods by word of mouthC. customer have to order goods one hour earlierD. there is a list of goods to be delivered to doorstepsPart III Vocabulary and Structure (20 points)Directions: There are 40 incomplete sentences in this part.

It can 21 on both our physical and mental health and can lead to other health 22 .Insomnia can be traced to many different reasons, but what is 23 to many sufferers is their inability to relax fully and “switch the mind 24 ”.Constant thoughts, 25 around and around in the mind, moving from one 26 to the next, prevent stillness and peace and 27 a sufferer extremely tired.In order to treat insomnia 28 , it is first necessary to allow a sufferer to re-experience 29 real relaxati on feels like.

She started talking and communicating in all three languages before she lost her sight but adapted quickly to her blindness. By the age of four, she was reading and writing in the Braille (盲文). When she was six, Alexia began to learn Chinese. The girl is now learning German at school in Cambridge.Alexia has been longing to be an interpreter since she was six and she chose to go to the European Parliament as her prize when she won a young achiever of the year award. She asked if she could shadow interpreters and Mr. Sturdy agreed to take her along as his guest.Alexia worked with the head of interpreting and had a real taster of life in parliament. “It was fantastic and I’m absolutely determined now to become an interpreter,” she said.36.

Eating breakfast at the start of the day, we have been told, and told again, is as necessary as putting gasoline in the family car before starting a trip. But for many people, the thought of food as the first thing in the morning is never a pleasure. So despite all the efforts, they still take no breakfast.Between 1977 and 1983, the latest year for which figures could be obtained, the number of people who didn’t have breakfast increased by 33%-from 8.8 million to 11.7 million—according to the Chicago-based Market Research corporation of America. For those who dislike eating breakfast, however, there is some good news.Several studies in the last few years have shown that, for adults especially, there may be nothing wrong with omitting breakfast. “Going without breakfast does not affect work,”said Arnold E. Bender, former professor of nutrition at Queen Elizabeth College in London, “nor does giving people breakfast improve work.”Scientific evidence linking breakfast to better health or better work is surprisingly inadequate (不充分的), and most of the recent work involves children, not adults. “The literature,” says one researcher, Dr. Earnest Polite at the University of Texas, “is poor.”40. Which of these is mentioned in the second paragraph?A. The number of the people who skip breakfast has increased.B. Many people fill their cars with gasoline in the morning.C. 8.8 million people got involved in a study on eating habits.D. A company carried out a research in 1983.A. Having breakfast does not improve work, either.B. Giving people breakfast improves work.C. Going without breakfast can improve work, too.D. Having breakfast does improve work.42. What does the word “literature” in the last sentence refer to?A. Modern American literature.B. Any printed materials.C. Written works on a subject.D. Stories, poems and plays.43. Which of the following statements best summarizes the writer’sconclusion about the function of breakfast?A. Omitting breakfast helps improve work.B. Eating breakfast is absolutely necessary.C. Scientists have produced sufficient evidence in support ofbreakfast.D. There isn’t strong evidence to prove that breakfast is a must.person.48. What can be learned from Paragraph 1?A. People from a mobile society dislike talking about personalaffairs.B. Short-term relationships are common in a mobile society.C. Americans tend to make more friends than people from othercultures.D. It is difficult for Americans and Australians to communicatewith strangers.49. Who do Malaysians prefer to start business with according tothe passage?A. Those who talk a lot about themselves.B. Those who they know well enough.C. Those who enjoy talking with strangers.D. Those who want to do business with them.50. Which of the following is true about the rules in “particular”societies?A. They change to fit different situations.B. People respect and obey them completely.C. They don’t exist.D. No one obeys them.51. What is the main idea of the passage?A. Polite behavior varies with different cultures.B. Less mobile societies have fewer rules.C. People from mobile societies are more polite.D. Cultural differences are important.Passage FiveClaude-Oscar Monet (1840-1926) was a French artist and a leading member of the Impressionist group of painters. Born in Paris, Monet spent his childhood in Le Havre. There he met a local artist, Eugene Boudin, who encouraged him to become a landscape painter.In 1859, Monet went to Paris to study at the Académie Suisse. Between 1860 and 1862, Monet served in the army in Algeria (阿尔及利亚). He returned to Paris where he met most of the major artists of the era.In 1870, Monet married Camille Doncieux. To escape the Franco-Prussian war, they moved to London. Back to France, they settled at Argenteuil, a boating centre on the Seine (塞纳河) which drew many other Impressionist painters. Working from nature was a particular symbol of the Impressionist movement, and one that Monet valued, reflecting in his paintings the ever-changing impact of light and weather conditions.In 1872, he visited Le Havre where he painted “An Impression, Sunrise”.When exhibited in 1874, part of its title was used by a critic to label the whole movement “Impressionism”.Monet’s wife died in 1879, and he set up home with Alice Hoschedé, the wife of one of his most important sponsors. During the 1880s, Monet travelled through France painting a variety of landscapes.

Each of the passages is followed by 5 questions or unfinished statements. For each of t hem there are 4 choices marked A, B, C and D. Choose the best one and mark your answer on the ANSWER SHEE T.Passage OneScientists said they have found evidence of a giant planet far ou t in our solar system. In a statement, the California Institute of T echnology—Caltech—said this planet travels a very strange “long an d thin orbit in the distant solar system.”The discovery was made b y two researchers at Caltech: Konstantin Batygin and Mike Brown. The y used mathematical modeling and computer simulations(模拟) to find th e planet. So far, there have not been any direct observations of th e planet.“My jaw hit the floor,”said astronomer(宇航员) Mike Brown, the m oment he realized there might be a ninth planet.The scientists said it would take this planet 10,000 to 20,000 y ears just to make one full orbit around the sun. The new planet, c alled “Planet Nine”, has a mass about 10 times the size of Eart h. If they are right, the newly found planet would be the ninth pl anet in our solar system. Pluto(冥王星) had been called the ninth pl anet until 2006, when it was renamed a “dwarf planet.”Actual confirmation of a ninth planet would be very big news. “T his would be a real ninth planet,”Brown said in the statement. “T here have only been two true planets discovered since ancient time s, and this would be a third. It's a pretty substantial chunk of o ur solar system that's still out there to be found, which is prett y exciting.”While they did not get a picture of “Planet Nine”yet, the sc ientists say they are using the biggest—and best—telescopes on Eart h to try to find “Planet Nine.”They are also working on improvin g their computer simulations. They want to find out more about “Planet Nine’s”orbit, and its impact on the outer part of our solar s ystem.16. The newly-found planet ________.A. moves around the SunB. was discovered by two astronomersC. travels a round orbitD. is far away from our solar system17. The possibility of finding a ninth planet made Mike Brown ______ __.A. confusedB. frightenedC. satisfiedD. surprised18. According to the scientists, ________A. the planet is ten times larger than the EarthB. it takes the planet less than 10,000 years to make a full orbitC. Pluto was once thought to be the ninth planet in the solar syst emD. Pluto was given a new name after it was discovered in 200619. It can be inferred from Paragraph 4 that ________.A. there is no actual confirmation about the ninth planetB. no true planets were discovered in ancient timesC. scientists have found three planets in modern timesD. the ninth planet is the only one discovered since ancient times20. To find “Planet Nine”, scientists are using all the following EXCEPT ________.A. mathematical modelingB. computer simulationsC. advanced telescopesD. large spacecraftsPassage Two“Helicopter parenting”describes a style of raising children wher e parents are over-protective and do too much. The term was used fo r the first time in the late 1960s. It describes parents who hover (悬停) over their kids like a helicopter. Today, modern technology al lows these helicopter parents to hover from even far away. They ca n give their children directions at any moment from anywhere.Author Julie Lythcott-Haims wrote a book titled How to Raise a n Adull. In her book, she gives readers a closer look at this pare nting style.“Over-parenting”, she says, “comes in three types: the first i s the over-protective parents who think the world is scary and unsaf e and unpredictable. And therefore, I must protect and prevent. Th e second type is the over-directive type—the parent who says, I kno w best what leads to success and you will do as I say. You’ll st udy these topics, do these activies and you will be highly achievin g at all of it. The third type is the concierge(看门人)—the paren t who just wants to make life smoother—from waking their kid up, t o keeping track of their deadlines, to making sure they haven't forg otten anything, to even doing the homework for the kid.”Julie Lythcott-Haims says she experienced the effects of helicopte r parenting firsthand when she worked as dean of first-year student s at Stanford University. The incoming students were very smart an d accomplished on paper. But many were unable to take care of thems elves.“They were turning to parents constantly for guidance, for problem solving, to have them make the choice about something.”Often tim es, Lythcott-Haims had to remind those parents that their kids were old enough to take care of themselves.21. The term “helicopter parenting”________.A. describes parents who give children directions in the airB. was probably invented in the late nineteenth centuryC. gains more meaning as modern technology developsD. refers to parents who concern too much about kids22. According to Lythcott-Haims, over-parenting has all the following features EXCEPT _______.A. over-directiveB. over-depend entC. over-preventiveD. over-protectiv e23. It can be inferred that a concierge mother will ________.A. regard the world as very dangerousB. allow children to do whatever they likeC. keep a close eye on the kid’s assignmentD. let the kid alone when he falls on the ground24. In Julie’s eyes, the first-year students at Stanford University a re ________.A. very clever in studyingB. really good at problem-solvingC. unable to communicate with teachersD. having problems making friends25. Lythcott-Haims’attitude towards helicopter parenting is ________.A. supportiveB. negativeC. uninterestedD. unclearPassage ThreeI recently had the opportunity to go to my first ever music fes tival. We Love Green was held over a weekend in Parc de Bagatell e, Paris. While like most music festivals, it boasted an impressiv e and diverse music, there was something extra special about this on e. You see, this was a green festival!From the food to the stalls(货摊), everything was as environmental ly friendly as possible. Not only was the majority of the furniture/ stalls/toilet rooms hand-made from wood, the festival was powered b y solar energy. Guests were invited to dispose of rubbish in special ly labeled dustbins which, after the festival, were sorted so all o f the waste could be recycled appropriately. Fresh water was made av ailable freely to everyone so that attendants were not encouraged t o buy drinks in plastic bottles which would have created a lot o f waste.I found the experience incredibly fun but also really interestin g. Having never been to a music festival before, I was unsure of w hat to expect. However, I was happy to find myself sitting in a fi eld eating a healthy, home-made fruit cake while drinking organic fru it juice. There were many stalls, art installations, and different ar eas, meaning there was something there for everyone, from small child ren to the elderly!This seems like such a great idea, making something very fun an d interesting, that does not cause great damage to the environmen t. I have since discovered that there are more events similar to th is across the globe, which is great! I can’t imagine how much wast e has been produced from such public events as festivals across th e years before we realised just how bad they were for the environme nt!26. Which of the following can be the title of the passageA. We Love GreenB. We Love EnvironmentC. Music FestivalsD. A Unique Public Event27. What is special about the music festivalA. It has a special band.B. It has a unique progra m list.C. It is held every weekend.D. It is environmentally fr iendly.28. At the music festival, guests were encouraged to ________.A. make furniture from woodB. bring plastic-bottled drink sC. recycle rubbish by themselvesD. drink free fresh water29. According to Paragraph 3, the author ________.A. fully enjoyed the festivalB. expected muh from th e festivalC. found the event very funnyD. liked listening to musi c at home30. The purpose of this passage is to ________.A. raise funds for environment protectionB. highlight that being green can be funC. encourage people to go to music festivalsD. introduce the author's favourite musiciansPassage FourChokwe Selassie is on a mission to help drivers avoid potholes(路面坑洞). The eighth-grader got his inspiration on a recent morning, w hen his mother was driving him to school. Their car was damaged a s it went over a huge pothole in the middle of the street in thei r hometown of Jackson, Mississippi. “I decided I was going to do s omething about the pothole problem in my city,”said Chokwe. His solution: an app that warns drivers when there is a pothole ahead.Chokwe developed the app with his friends, “When the app detect s a pothole, it is highlighted in red,”Chokwe says. “And if you g et close to the pothole, your phone will warn you with a beep.”D rivers can also use the app to report any potholes they encounte r, and to look for other routes they can take to avoid roads tha t have them.The app relies on current available information about the street s of Jackson. “It works by using the city’s 311 call system, so i t uses information already stored in a database,”Chokwe says. Throu gh the call system, citizens dial 311 to report non-emergency problem s—which include potholes. As Chokwe and his friends worked on the a pp, they also went street by street throughout the city. They determ ined that focusing on the 10 busiest streets in Jackson would giv e them a large enough sample size to test it.Although the app isn’t yet available for sale, Chokwe is alread y looking for ways to improve it. The app remains limited to 10 st reets in Jackson, but he hopes to add more, so that it includes ev ery street in the city. And then he wants to go even farthe r. “I want to keep working on the app until it’s nationwide,”Ch okwe says.31. Chokwe Selassie got the idea to develop the app from ________.A. his own experienceB. a recent news reportC. his friendsD. his mother32. When you are close to a pothole, your phone will warn you with ________.A. a voice reportB. a red lightC. a beeping soundD. a map image33. Drivers can also use Chokwe’s app to ________.A. report emergency traffic problemsB. look for information other than potholesC. choose safer routes without potholesD. avoid traffic jam caused by potholes34. To develop the app, Chokwe and his friends ________.A. reported potholes to 311 call systemB. conducted field trips on the streetsC. built their own information databaseD. collected samples in their neighborhood35. We can learn from the last paragraph that Chokwe ________.A. is quite successfulB. is facing difficultiesC. has regained hopeD. has a great ambitionPart III Vocabulary and Structure (20 points)Directions: There are 40 incomplete sentence in this part.
