Or is intelligence developed by our environment and our experience? Strangely enough, the answer to these questions is yes、To some extent our intelligence is given us at birth, and no amount of special education can make a genius out of a child born with low intelligence .On the other hand, a child who lives in a boring environment will develop his intelligence less than one who lives in rich and varied surroundings、Thus the limits of a person’s intelligence are fixed at birth, whether or not he reaches those limits will depend on his environment、This view, now held by most experts, can be supported in a number of ways.It is easy to show that intelligence is to some extent something we are born with、The closer the blood relationship between two people, the closer they are likely to be in intelligence、Thus if we take two unrelated people at random(随机地) from the population, it is likely that their degree of intelligence will be completely different、If, on the other hand, we take two identical twins, they will very likely be as intelligent aseach other、Relations like brothers and sisters, parents and children, usually have similar intelligence, and this clearly suggests that intelligence depends on birthImagine now that we take two identical twins and put them in different environments、We might send one, for example, to a university and the other to a factory where the work is boring、We would soon find differences in intelligence developing and this indicates that environment as well as birth plays a part、This conclusion is also suggested by the fact that people who live in close contact with each other, but who are not related at all are likely to have similar degree of intelligence.1、The writer is in favor of the view that man’s intelligence is given to him( )A、at birthB、through educationC、both at birth and through educationD、by his experience 2、If a child is born with low intelligence, he can( )A、never become a genius without proper trainingB、still become a genius if given special educationC、become more intelligent if trained in rich surroundingsD、never get more intelligent all his life3、Which pair of the following people, according to the author, is most likely to have similar degree of intelligence( )A、Two children of the same parentsB、Husband and wifeC、Two close friends in the same neighborhoodD、Two room-mates in the same neighborhood4、The example of the twins going to university and to a factory separately shows( )A、the important role of their intelligenceB、the role environment plays in intelligence developmentC、the importance of their social positionsD、the part that birth pays in intelligence development5、The best title of this passage might be( )A、Who Are More IntelligentB、Education and EnvironmentC、Dependence on EnvironmentD、What Determines Intelligence2、The human body has developed its millions of nerves to be highly aware of what goes on both inside and outside of itThis helps us adjust to the outside world、Without our nerves and our brain, which is a system of nerves, we couldn’t know what’s happening、But we pay for our sensitivity、We can feel pain when the slightest thing is wrong with any part of our body、The history of torture ( 折磨 ) is based on the human body being open to painBut there is a way to handle pain、Look at the Indian fakir ( 苦行僧) who sits on a bed of nails、Fakirs can put a needle fight through an arm, and feel no pain、This ability that some humans have developed to handle pain should give us ideas about how the mind can deal with painThe big thing in withstanding pain is our attitude toward it、If the dentist says, "This will hurt a little," it helps us to accept the pain、By staying relaxed, and by treating the pain as an interesting sensation ( 感觉 ), we can handle the pain without falling apart、After all, althoughpain is an unpleasant sensation, it is still a sensation, and sensations are the stuff of life6、The human body has developed a system of nerves that enables us to( )A、stay relaxedB、avoid painC、stand tortureD、feel pain7、What does the writer mean by saying "we pay for our sensitivity" in the first paragraph?( )A、We have to take care of our sense of painB、We suffer from our sense of feelingC、We should try hard to resist painD、We are hurt when we feel pain8、When the author mentions the Indian fakir, he shows that( )A、fakirs possess magic powerB、Indians are not afraid of painC、people can learn to cope with painD、some people are born without a sense of pain9、What is essential for people to stand pain according to the writer( )A、Their relaxationB、Their interestC、Their nervesD、Their attitude10、The author believes that( )A、feeling pain is part of our lifeB、pain should be avoided at all costsC、feeling pain can be an interesting thingD、magic power is essential for reducing pain四、英译汉(每题2分，共10分)1、He also estimates that a rope of spider silk as thick as one pencil could pull a large ship through the water2、It is so exasperating listening to teachers, colleagues, parents, and other “experts” who pretend to have all the answers3、Thank heaven that, while good looks may awaken one’s attention, a true sense of a person’s beauty comes out in stages4、But we have only to think a moment to understand that the work of a completely uneducated farmer is as important as that of a professor5、As the population grows larger and larger in the modern world, we would die if we did not have enough food五、汉译英(每题2分，共10分)1、如果你当时对我讲实话，我原本是可以原谅你的2、工作没完成，她不敢回家3、与其和他们去购物,我倒宁愿留在家里读点书4、失业工人离开工厂时抱怨他们所处的困境5、政府非常重视环境保护。

I am not talking only about the times when you see her at school. She often has a book with her when she is shopping , riding in the car , going to see relatives, or doing just about anything where there might be an opportunity ( 机会) to read . Now , you might think Sally is a bookworm (书呆子) , but that would not be accurate because she also enjoys spending a lot of time with her friends and doing lots of different things . Very simply put , books are one of Sally’s main hobbies .People practice their hobbies in many different ways .Some people like to collect stamps , others like to listen to music or go to the movies , and still others like to travel and visit new places . Sally likes to read books --- many different kinds of books. When she finds a good book in the library , she usually borrows it to investigate (研究) more deeply . She also likes to go to a large bookstore near her home, where she can see all kinds of new books and sometimes buy one that she likes.Sally’s love of books has made it a lot easier for her to do well in school because, after all, you do have to read a lot of books in your classes. When Sally gets an assignment and has to read a chapter, it almost seems like she is practicing her hobby . The books she uses in her classes are written very clearly and are really quite interesting. The only different thing is that sometimes she has to do a written exercise for homework. To Sally that seems like a small price to pay for the opportunity to read another book about something new and interesting. As Sally has read so many books and learned so many new words, she usually only has to do an assigned reading once because she understands just about everything the first time through.1.What is Sally usually doing when you see her?A)She is shopping.B)She is riding in a car.C)She is carrying a book under her arm.D)She is reading in a classroom.2.Why is it not accurate to say that Sally is a bookworm?A)Because reading is just one of her hobbies.B)Because she practices her hobbies in very simple ways.C)Because books make her look like a student.D)Because she does everything better than other people.3.The writer talks about people’s different hobbies in the second paragraph in order to tellus________.A)how many hobbies there might be among different peopleB)that reading is something that everybody likes to doC)why Sally likes reading more than other hobbiesD)that reading is a healthier hobby than other hobbies4.Sally finds it easier for her to do well in school because __________.A)through reading she has learnt a lot alreadyB)the books she uses in her classes are interestingC)once she finishes a book , she never reads it againD)she pays a small price for the opportunity to read her books5. What does Sally not like to do according to the third paragraph?A) Fast reading. B) Reading assignments.C) Chapter questions. D) Written exercises.Task 2 (10%)Directions: Reading the following passages and choose the best answer for each of the questions.No matter how you look on paper, no matter how well you present yourself, no matter how well you answer their questions, you will not get the job unless you make a personal connection with the interviewer. I need to know from the very start that you are someone I can trust to represent my company and me. How do you establish that trust? Simple. At the very beginning of the interview, when the introductions are being made, concentrate on looking directly and solidly into the interviewers’ eyes, giving them your sweetest and most endearing smile. I tend to think of it as a “shy smile”. The bottom lin e is to make it a warm and friendly smile. Then think about the fact that you are truly pleased to be there in the presence of this person. Establish that personal connection both physically and mentally with the interviewer.How do you know when the connection is made? When they return your smile in a comfortable, relaxed manner, you are connected and ready to communicate on a personal level. Remember, I only hire people I am comfortable with. If the connection is not made, I won’t hire. So take the time t o establish that personal connection.6. Which of the following is the most important factor for you to get the job?A) To wear formally and tidily.B) To prepare a good paper and all the materials needed.C) To present myself as well as possible.D) To make a personal connection with the interviewer.7. Which of the following statements is TRUE?A) It is not necessary to make eye contact with the interviewer.B) If you want to be trusted, you should know much more information about the interviewer.C) If you want to get the job, you must make the interviewer trust you with personal connection.D) It is necessary to keep smiling during the interview.8. What’s the way about establishing the trust at the very beginning of the interview t he passage mentioned?A) To stare at the interviewers’ eyes straightly during the interview.B) To be a shy person and not to sit down unless being asked.C) To give the interviewer a warm and friendly smile.D) To be a polite person and try to persuade the interviewer with rich working experience.9. How do you know when the personal connection is made?A) When the interviewer asks the questions with a smile.B) When the interviewer smiles during the whole interview.C) When the interviewee smiles during the whole interview.D) When the interviewer returns the interviewee’s smile in a comfortable, relax manner.10.Which of the following would be the most proper title of the passage?A) How to Establish Personal Connection in an InterviewB) What You Should Do in an InterviewC) How an Interviewee Can Be HiredD) The Role of Personal CommunicationTask 3 (10%)Directions:Reading the following passages and choose the best answer for each of the questions.The entertainment profession, or “show business”, attracts many young people. Unfortunately, only very few can hope to become famous. Talent is not enough, because show business is as competitive as any other business. Without a good manager, a performer can never hope to succeed. Fashion is important in his business, too. The best tailor in the world will never be a success if he makes old-fashioned clothes. In exactly the same way, a performer must change his “act” in order to follow the taste of the moment. This is true for actors, dancers and comedians, but perhaps most of all for singers.“Pop” stands for “ popular”, and a pop singer has to work very hard to become popular. He must either give the public what they already want, or he must find a new way of singing that will attract their attention. Even when he has succeeded, and his records are sold everywhere, he cannot relax. Then he must work harder than ever to remain popular, because there are always younger singers trying to become famous and to steal some of the popularity.The life of a successful pop singer is not at all easy. He can only relax when he is alone, becauseeverything he does is watched and reported in the special newspaper written for the“fans”. The fans are the most important people in the world for the singer. They buy his records, they go to his concerts, and they make him rich and famous. But they can be very annoying, too. Sometimes they get so crazy that they do anything to get a “souvenir”. They steal handkerchiefs, they tear off buttons, and they even cut off pieces of the unfortunate singer’s hair.Many singers have been forced to hide, and some who have not been so lucky as to escape have been stripped practically naked by their fans. A pop singer has to spend a lot of money on clothes, because he must always look smart, or, at any rate, different. He must have a luxurious car. And most important he must always keep smiling for the benefit of his public.11. How many of the young can hope to become famous?A) Nobody. B) Only very few.C) The majority of them. D) All of them.12. Which of the following is the key element to become a successful performer?A) The age. B) Education background.C) A wealthy family. D) A good manager.13. Why must a pop singer work harder when he has become famous?A) To sell more records. B) To follow the taste of the moment.C) To stay popular. D) To attract the public’s attention.14. It may be inferred from this passage that_______ .A) a pop singer is afraid of meeting his fansB) some people become pop singers by chanceC) a pop singer sometimes is unwilling to meet peopleD) pop singers have to smile all the time15. A suitable title for this passage might be_______ .A) “The Entertainment Profession” B) “How to Become a Pop Singer”C) “A Pop Singer’s Life” D) “The Pop Singer”Task 4 (10%)Directions: Reading the following passages and choose the best answer for each of the questions.Dear Sir or Madam,The ABC Company was established in 2006 and in four short years has become one of the most successful companies in the market place.

Reading Comprehension (Multiple Choice)Directions: Read the following passages carefully and choose the best answer from the four choices marked A, B, C and D. (30 points)Passage 1As a Canadian bilingual (双语的) teacher, I agree that the Canadian bilingual schools have been successful in producing functionally bilingual students. However, Mr. Whelpton’s suggested condition that teachers in these schools must be fully bilingual may be unnecessary. For example, primary teachers can and do function with a smaller vocabulary than secondary teachers.Secondly, it is doubtful that students will use English because they “understand and accept the objective of making English the language of the classroom”which is a rather sterile explanation. One reason that Canadian bilingual programs work is because of the commitment to Whole Language Learning, that is, children learn a language, (first or second), by using it to transmit (播送) or receive meaningful messages that are interesting, real and important. They want to make their needs and desires known and to understand the world around them. Bilingual programs integrate language and content in an activity-based, child-centered manner so that the child is motivated to use the second language as a tool to transmit and receive messages related to social and academic interests.Mr. Whelpton’s third argument that all the students in one class need to be at approximately the same level of English proficiency (熟练) when they switch to English is unrealistic and unprofitable. How does a teacher group children who have a huge vocabulary but poor grammar skills with others who have correct grammar but a poor vocabulary? Also, suppose the students have similar language abilities but different learning styles! Therefore the concept of Cooperative Learning: students with a mixture of personalities, talents and weaknesses (a more realistic reflection of life) learn better as they cooperate (合作), instead of compete, and depend on each other for support and information.81. How would you describe the writer’s style?A. Written in an academic style.B. Written in a journalistic style.C. Written in a personal style.D. Written on the basis of widespread research in the area.82. How would you describe the writer’s attitude towards the Canadian bilingual programs?A. Balanced.B. Unenthusiastic.C. Supportive.D. Critical.83. In Paragraph 1 the writer ________.A. agrees completely with Mr. Whelpton’s argumentB. agrees partially with Mr. Whelpton’s argumentC. disagrees completely with Mr. Whelpton’s argumentD. is overwhelmingly critical of Mr. Whelpton’s argument84. In Paragraph 2 “sterile” is closest in meaning to ________.A. uninformativeB. unusualC. exaggeratedD. uninspiring85. According to the writer the Canadian bilingual programs have been a success ________.A. because students accept the objective of making English the language of the classroomB. because students study in classrooms where everybody is at about the same levelC. because the students can use their first language freelyD. because they work towards real life goalsPassage 2The great river Nile (尼罗河) flows gently in its course through the hot plains in the first half of the year but later on when the melting (融化) snows and the rains on the mountains far to the south swell its tributaries (支流), the Nile overflows (泛滥). It spreads rich, muddy (泥泞的) soil from Ethiopia over its valley and forms deep stretches of green, fertile (肥沃的) lands along its banks. The settlers found that in the soft rich earth wheat and other crops could be planted, even without the use of the plough, and they began to make many settlements of farmers.In these early times they did not of course understand why the river overflowed each year. But they knew that their crops and, therefore, their lives, depended upon its magic (魔术似的) floods, and they explained the miracle as the work of gods.But there came some years when there was a “bad Nile”. Sometimes the floods were not full and did not bring enough soil; the crops were poor and the people starved. At other times the waters were so great that they destroyed houses and villages, and drowned (淹死) men and beasts (牲畜). It took perhaps many centuries before the farmers learned how to control the Nile waters.Wise men among them watching the position of the stars year by year found that they could predict when the annual rising of t he Nile would come. Thus they began to learn about the scientific study of the sun, earth, moon, and stars and could make a calendar of the years. They also learnt how to measure out the land so that it could be divided fairly again after the boundaries of the farms had been washed away by great floods. In this way, there came about ancient knowledge of engineering and of geometry.86. We can learn from this passage that the Nile is ______.A. always a gentle flowing riverB. hot in the first half of the year but cold later onC. likely to overflow at unknown times of the yearD. a life-giving river that makes the land rich87. The settlers began farming in the Nile valley because ______.A. they discovered that their crops could grow well in the soil thereB. they did not realize that the river would overflow sometimesC. they found many settlements of farmers in the valleyD. they realized that their crops depended on the floods88. The Nile was called the “bad Nile” at times because _______.A. the floods made the river difficult to controlB. the floods could only be predicted by wise menC. the river sometimes flooded too little or too muchD. the river took the good soil away to Ethiopia89. The Egyptians of that time learned to predict the floods by _______.A. studying the flooding of the Nile year by yearB. observing the position of the stars year by yearC. inventing some maps of the Nile floodsD. developing engineering and measuring land90. According to the passage, the ancient Egyptians ________.A. had studied the stars and made their own calendar of the yearsB. watched the fall and rise of the Nile and learned how to control the floodC. discovered science before the peoples of other nationsD. learned a lot about geometry and spread the knowledge all over the worldPassage 3A department store’s inputs include the land upon which the building is located; the labor of the employees; capital in the form of building, equipment and products they sell; and the management skills of the store managers. On a farm, the operation system is the transformat ion that occurs when a farmer’s inputs (land, equipment, labor, etc.) are changed into such outputs (产出) as corn, wheat or milk. The exact process is different from industry to industry, but it is an economic phenomenon that exists in every industry. Economists refer to this change of resources into goods and services as the production function. For all operation systems, the general goal is to create some kind of value-added outputs that are worth more to consumers than just the sum of the individual inputs. To the consumers, the resulting products offer usefulness due to the form, the time, or the place they are available.However, the process is subject to unpredictable fluctuations (波动). Unplanned or uncontrollable influences may cause the actual output to be different from planned output. Unpredictable fluctuations can arise from external problems (fire, floods or lightning, for example) or from internal problems that are part of the process that change them into useful goods. Variability of equipment, material imperfections, and human mistakes all affect output quality. In fact, unpredictable variations are the rule rather than the exception in the production processes; therefore, reducing variation becomes a major management task.The function of the feedback (反馈) is to provide information connection. Without some feedback of information, management personnel cannot control operations because they don’t know the results of their directions.91.What is included in a store ’s inputs?A. Its equipment.B. Its workers.C. Its managers.D. Its departments.VII. Short Composition WritingDirections: Write a short composition of about 150 words on one of the topics given below and according to the structure you have learned.

It’s nothing like you!M: Well, this is the new me—changed by things I’ve learned at college. Studying is helping me find success in my life. I’ve made other changes too.Q: What are the speakers talking about?M: Would you mind if I put some small trees and plants in our house?W: What’s the point? Go outside if you want to see nature. Oh…but if you insist, go ahead and put them in our room, or in our kids’ room if they want.Q: What is the relationship between the two speakers?M: There are some scientific achievements that I wish we could take back.W: I feel the same. And I think the splitting of the atom, which led to the atomic bomb, is an achievement of this sort.Q: What can be inferred from the conversation?M: Are you still reading about Bill Gates? After you’re done, do you think I can read that book?W: Sorry. I already promised to lend it to our daughter. Talk to her. She’ll be back from work shortly.Q: What is the relationship between the two speakers?W: I can’t believe it! There’s a man from the government here telling us to paint our home! He says it’s too ugly! What nerve!M: That’s unbelievable. What right does he have to tell us what our home should look like?Q: What can be inferred from the conversation?W: I was able to lose a lot of weight by eating better, but I’m still weak and soft.M: You look all right to me. But you could probably benefit from lifting the weights in the gym. Or better, take up swimming.Q: According to the man, what is the best thing for the woman to do?M: How is it that you’re here at school? You couldn’t have gotten a scholarship.W:Well, I did, actually. But it only pays a small bit, most of which I send to my sister. I have a job that pays for most of my studies.Q: How does the woman pay for her education?M: I’ve been thinking about retiring soon. Maybe then I can do the traveling I want.W: That’s a great idea. But before you do, let’s save up money for one more year. OK? I’d like to go with you, and we need money to spend.Q: What is the most probable relationship between the two speakers?W: What do you think is the greatest achievement in the history of science?M: I believe it’s the moon landing. Nothing else has captured the imaginations of people around the world.Q: What can we learn from the conversation?W: Why should I care about animal species dying out?M: Animals depend on each other. And so the death of one leads to the death of others. Someday, people will die because we fail to protect other animals.Q: Why should people protect other animals?II. Understanding Long ConversationsLong Conversation 1M: Apples, tomatoes, pears… What do all these foods have in common? Water, that’s what. They all contain lots of water, and that makes them the perfect weight-loss food.W: That’s right. If you eat water-rich, lower-fat foods you can lose weight easily. You can start with a bowl of soup, have a salad, and then you can have a sandwich. Then you can bulk it up with lots of vegetables, and you can even have calories left for a fruit salad. This is a lot of food, but not many calories.M: Six hundred calories.W: Six hundred calories, yes.M: OK. Let’s go back over it. Water-dense foods will fill you up and satisfy your hunger. That’s a good thing when you’re dieting, plus they’re low in calories. But keep in mind, you can drink a glass of water and get the same effect. Fooling your body in this way is a little trick that can help you lose weight.W: Uh-huh. Fewer calories, but these foods won’t leave you feeling hungry. Still, let’s face it, water-dense foods just aren’t asconvenient as snack foods, and often they’re a lot more expensive.Questions:1. What is this passage about?2. What makes apples the perfect diet food?3. What can you begin your low-calorie meal with?4. What does the man call “a little trick”?5. What problem does the woman have with water-rich foods?Long conversationW: Where is my hairbrush? It was that daughter of ours, Lisa, wasn’t it? She took my brush!M: No, dear. Lisa moved out of the house ages ago, don’t you remember? I suppose it was 15 years ago. We haven’t so much as seen Lisa in a year or a year and a half. Or gotten a phone call in the last 6 months. So I think it’s safe to say that she didn’t steal your brush.W: Well…M: You’re forgetting things, love. But don’t worry.W: Why not?M: Because I’m here with you.W: And what if I forget you?M: Then I will remind you.W: And if you forget me?M: Then, we might have a problem. But there are things we can do to help us with this.W: Like what?M:Like…we can paste photographs on the walls. Yeah, photographs everywhere. We’ll have photographs of you and me and words underneath the pictures saying who we are. You know, husband on this one.W: And wife on this other one. That’s silly.M: So you don’t like it?W: Like what?M: I don’t remember.Questions:1. Why is the woman upset at the beginning of the conversation?2. When did Lisa move out of the house?3. Why should the woman be free of worry according to the man?4. What might cause a problem for the speakers?5. What can be inferred from the conversation?III. Compound DictationPassageMajor cultural differences in selling techniques include the relationship between the salesman and the customer. As an expert advises his colleagues, “In many foreign countries, personal relationships are more important than company regulations and products.

Yet, very few domestic sales organizations understand how to take advantage of the opportunities that these shows present. In US trade shows, there is an open display of one’s products and services and a lot of looking but not buying. However, a European trade show is relatively closed. Mostly, it is only open to those who are there to conduct business.In some societies, the first thing people care about is quality.In other societies, the first thing on a customer’s mind is the cost of a particular product.And in other countries, the concern is style. The color, size, and quantity of items need to be considered in the packaging of any product. The color blue is for funerals in some countries, smaller items are preferred over large items, and the number of items in a package can be critical when trying to market it. Thus, we must consider these things when we do busines s abroad。

What they do is to select young people who have potential（潜能）and who can be trained. They then give the young people the kinds of skills that will make them suitable employees for the company. In other words, they adjust their training to their particular needs.One recently employed graduate says that she is receiving a great deal of valuable training from the company. “This means that I will be a loyal employee,” she says, “And it also means that the company will want to keep me. I am an important investment for them. So the policy is a good one because it benefits both the employer and the employee.”Recently, however, attitudes towards lifelong employment are beginning to change. Employees are slowly beginning to accept the idea that lifelong employment is not always in their best interest and that changing firms can have career advantages.31. The purpose of lifelong employment is to __________.A. adjust the needs of the company to its employeesB. make employees loyal to their companyC. select the best skilled young employeesD. keep the skilled staff satisfied32. By training its employees, a company can make them _________.A. do their work more easilyB. more interested in their workC. willing to invest money into the countryD. posses the necessary qualities for the job33. Talking about the training she has received, a recently employed graduate has the view that _________.A. it is still well-received by all the staff members todayB. it is valuable to the employer and the employeesC. it is helpful for attracting young employeesD. it is both useful and interesting34. Attitudes towards lifelong employment are changing because _________.A. job changes have career advantages.B. it’s boring to work in only one company.C. only the employer benefits from such employment.D. stable employment seldom offers better opportunities35. The passage is mainly about ___________.A. lifelong training of employeesB. policies of lifelong employmentC. attitudes towards lifelong employmentD. employers’ interest in lifelong employment Passage TwoQuestions 36 to 40 are based on the following passage:People today are still talking about the generation gap（代沟）. Some parents complain that their children do not show them proper respect, while children complain that their parents do not understand them at all.What has gone wrong? Why has the generation gap appeared?One important cause is that young people want to choose style. In more traditional societies, when children grow up, they are expected to live in the same area as their parents, to many people that their parents like, and often to continue the family occupation.Parents often expect their children to do better than they do, to find better jobs, to make more money, and to do all the things that they were unable to do. Often, however, the high wishes that parents place on their children are another cause of the generation gap.Finally, the high speed of social changes deepens the gap. In a traditional culture, people are valued for their wisdom, but in our society today the knowledge of lifetime may be out of use overnight（隔夜）.36. According to the passage, children today expect their parents to _________.A. give them more independenceB. choose a good job for themC. live together with themD. make more money37. Parents often hope that their children will ________.A. make as much money as they doB. be more successful than they areC. choose jobs according to their own willD. avoid doing what their parents can’t do38. The generation gap has become wider than before because of ________.A. the increasing dependence of children on parentsB. the influence of traditional culture on childrenC. the rapid changes of modern societyD. the missing of lifelong occupation39. In today’s society, the knowledge of a lifetime _________.A. is still very much valuedB. becomes out of date quicklyC. is essential for continuing family occupationD. helps the young generation to find a better job40. A proper title for this passage would be ____________.A. Parents’ Viewpoints On Generation GapB. Relationship Between Family MembersC. Generation Gap Between the Young and the OldD. Difference Between Traditional Culture and Modern KnowledgePassage ThreeQuestions 41 to 45 are based on the following passage:Insurance is the sharing of risks. Nearly everyone is exposed to risks of some sort. The house owner, for example, knows that his property can be damaged by fire; the ship owner knows that his vessel may be lost at sea; the father knows that he may die at an early age and leave his family the poorer. On the other hand, not every house is damaged by fire, nor every vessel lost at sea. If these persons each put a small sum into a pool, there will be enough to meet the needs of the few who do suffer loss. In other words, the losses of the few are met from the contributions of the many. This is the basis of insurance. Those who pay the contributions are known as “insured” and those who control the pool of contributions as “insurer”.Not all risks lend themselves to being covered by insurance. Broadly speaking, the ordinary risks of business cannot be covered. The risk that buyers will not buy goods at the prices offered is not a kind that can be estimated in numbers and risks can only be insured against if they can be estimated.The legal basis of all insurance is the “policy”. This is a printed form of contract on thick paper of the best quality. It states that in return for regular payment by the insured of a named sum of money, called the “premium”, which is usually paid every year, the insurer will pay a sum of money for loss, if the risk or event insured against actually happens.41. Why does the writer mention the father in the passage?A）The writer uses the father as an example to illustrate his point.B）The writer believes the father knows better than the mother.C）The writer wants to persuade the father to buy insurance.D）The writer wishes to set an example for fathers.42. Which of the following can be covered by insurance?A）All risks of business. B）All houses damaged by fire.C）Goods with clearly marked prices. D）Things whose values can be estimated.43. What do insurers firmly believe?A）People don’t like to spend their money.B）No one can avoid any risks.C）Almost all people trust insurance. D）Most people like to help others.44. What does “premium” （Para.3）most probably mean in the passage?A）The money paid by the insured. B）A printed form of contract.C）The money paid for the loss. D）The contributions of insurers.45. What is the main idea of the passage?A）Insurance is a way of sharing risks among people. B）Insurance has a solid legal basis. C）Only a few people suffer loss in their daily life. D）Insurance is not worth buying.46.We should do something _______ just talking about it.47. After hard work, we usually ______ by going to the movies at the weekend.48. The population of the town ______ dramatically in the first half of the country.49. Things got so bad ________ that he decided to go on a diet.50. There are _______ ways of getting to the railway station.51. There is _______ water in some dry regions.52.Swimming is very _______ with all ages.53.Students in my class plan to _______ after the final exam held nest week.54.They always ________ themselves very important.55.I know it was wrong, but I would do it again in the ______ situationPart IV Translate the following sentences into English （汉译英）（每小题3分，共15分）56. 嘲笑别人是不礼貌的。

一阅读理解 (共3题，总分值45分 )1. Herman had worked for the bank of Ruritania for ten years and was still only aclerk. He was not satisfied with the position and wanted to find something better.Yet he did not want to lose his position in bank before he had got another one, so he prepared a letter about himself, with the words "HELP! I AM A PRISONER OF THE BANK OF RURITANIA!" in big letters across the top. Then he sent it to several other banks, asking them for a job.A few days later, one of these letters came into the hands of Herman's boss at the bank; someone had given it to him at a party. The next morning, Herman's boss asked him to come into his room and said, "Herman, I have some very good news for you. The bank of Ruritania is setting you free!"（15 分）(1).

In 1801, Thomas Jefferson was the first president to take the oath of office in the nation's permanent capital, Washington D.C. Although Washington was a new city, it was already familiar to President Jefferson. In fact, Jefferson had helped plan the capital's streets and public buildings. Besides being a city planner and architect, the new President was a writer, a scientist, and the inventor of several tools.Jefferson lived in the Presidential Palace. The Palace was more than a home; it contained offices for the President and some of his staff and advisors. It also included dining and receptionrooms, where the President could entertain congressmen. However, President Jefferson did not give many formal parties. This was partly because there was no First Lady. Jefferson's wife had died in 1782. But it was also because Jefferson liked to live in a simple fashion. Once, he showed up for an important meeting wearing old clothes and slippers! Neither Washington nor Adams would ever have dressed so casually.Jefferson was different from the first two Presidents in other ways, too. He disagreed with them about how the country should be run, and about what part a President should play in running it.（15 分）(1). According to the passage, the Presidential Palace was built to be_________A_________. （3 分）A. an office building and homeB. a meeting place for congressmenC. a homeD. an office building(2).

There were many old streets in WashingtonD.C. before 1801.D. Washington D.C. was planned by Thomas Jefferson.(5). It can be inferred from the passage that George Washington and John Adams both_______B___________. （3 分）A. lived in the Presidential PalaceB. were rather formal gentlemenC. were different from Thomas Jefferson only in how to run the countryD. dressed casually3. Chess must be one of the oldest games in the world. An Arab traveller in India in the year 900 wrote that it was played 'long, long ago.' Chess was probably invented in India, and it has been played everywhere from Japan to Europe since 1400. The name 'chess' is interesting. When one player is attacking the other's king, he says in English, 'check'. When the king has been caught and cannot move anywhere, he says 'check mate'. These words come from Persian 'Shah mat' means 'the king is dead'. That is when the game is over, and one player has won.Such an old game changes very slowly. The rules have not always been the same as they are now. For example, at one time the queen could only move one square at a time. Now she is the strongest piece on the board. It would be interesting to know why this has happened. Chess takes time and thought, but it is a game for all kinds of people. You don't have to be a champion in order to enjoy it. It is not always played by two people sitting at the same table. The first time the Americans beat the Russians was in a match played by radio. Some of the chess masters are able to play many people at the same time. The record was when one man played 400 games! It is said that some people played chess by post. This must make chess the slowest game in the world.（15 分）(1). Chess was played in India long before 900. （3 分）A. TB. F(2). One player has won the game when he attacks the other player's king. （3 分）A. TB. F(3). Chess is a game for all sorts of people. （3 分）A. TB. F(4). Only two people can play chess sitting at the same table.（3 分）A. TB. F(5). According to the old rules of the game, the king could not move anywhere. （3 分）A. TB. F二词汇与语法 (共5题，总分值10分 )4. The boy is not happy at the new school.

Passage OneQuestions 21 to 25 are based on the following passage.People enjoy talking about “firsts”. They like to remember their first love or their first car. But, notall first are their happy ones. Few people enjoy recalling the firsts that are bad.One of bad but important firsts was the first car accident. Autos( 汽车 ) were still young when it happened. The crash took place in New York City. The year was 1896. The month was May. A man from Massachusetts was visiting the city in his new car. At the time, bicycle riders were still get used to the new set of wheels on the road. No one is sure who was at fault. In any case, the bike and the car collided. The man on the bike was injured. The driver of the car had to stay in prison and wait for the hospital report on the bicycle rider. Luckily the rider was not killed.Three years later, another automobile accident took place. It was again in New York City. A man named Henry Bliss stepped off a streetcar. He was hit by a passing car. Once again, no one is sure just how it happened or whose fault it was.

There was often tension between each established group of immigrants and each succeeding group. As each group became more financially successful, and more powerful,they excluded newcomers from full participation in the society. Prejudice and discrimination are pert of our history; however, this prejudice treatment of different groups is nowhere more unjust with black Americans.Blacks had distinct disadvantages. For the most part, they came to the“land of opportunity”as《大学英语（I ）》试卷本卷共14页第3页《大学英语（I）》试卷本卷共14页第4页slaves and they were not free to keep their heritage and cultural traditions. Unlike most European immigrants, blacks did not have the protection of a support group; sometimes slave owners separated members of the same family. They could not mix easily with the established society either because of their skin color. It was difficult for them to adapt the American culture. Even after they became free people, they still experienced discrimination in employment, housing, education, and even in public facilities, such as restrooms.26. Prejudice and discrimination ______.A. were goneB. have been existing in the American SocietyC. don’texclude new immigrants from participation in the societyD. are mainly caused by the slavery27.

Their tables will be set with the good dishes and silver, and the dress code will be Sunday-best.But in many other homes, this china-and-silver elegance has given way to a stoneware (粗陶 ) -and-stainless informality, with dresses assuming an equally casual-Friday look. For hosts and guests, the change means greater simplicity and comfort. For makers of fine china in Britain, it spells econo times.Last week Royal Doulton, the largest employer in Stoke-on-Trent, announced that it is elim1,000jobs --- one-fifth of its total workforce. That brings to more than 4,000 the number of positio in 18 months in the pottery ( 陶瓷 )region. Wedgwood and other pottery factories made cuts earl Although a strong pound and weak markets in Asia play a role in the downsizing, the layoff have their roots in earthshaking social shifts. A spokesman for Royal Doulton admitted that the c "has been somewhat slow in catching up with the trend" toward casual dining. Families eat together often, he explained, and more people eat alone, either because they are single or they eat in fro television;Even dinner parties, if they happen at all, have gone casual. In a time of long work hours an family schedules, busy hosts insist, rightly, that it's better to share a takeout pizza on paper plates in the family room than to wait for the perfect moment or a "real" dinner party. Too often, t moment never comes. Iron a fine-patterned tablecloth? Forget it. Polish the silver? Who has time Yet the loss of formality has its down side. The fine points of etiquette (礼节)that childre have learned at the table by observation or instruction from parents and grandparents ("Che mouth closed." "Keep your elbows off the table.") must be picked up elsewhere. Some compa offer etiquette seminars for employees who may be competent professionally but clueless social31. The trend toward casual dining has resulted in_____.A.bankruptcy of fine china manufacturersB.shrinking of the pottery industryC.restructuring of large enterprisesD.economic recession in Great Britain32. Which of the following may be the best reason for casual dining?A.Family members need more time to relax.B.Busy schedules leave people no time for formality.C.People want to practice economy in times of scarcity.D.Young people won't follow the etiquette of the older generation.33. It can be learned from the passage that Royal Doulton is_____.A. a retailer of stainless steel tablewareB. a dealer in stonewareC. a pottery chain storeD. a producer of fine china34.

body needs to rest.Sleep is necessary for good health.During this time,the body recovers from the activities of the previous day.The rest that you get while sleeping enables your body to prepare itself for the next day. There are four levels of sleep,each being a little deeper than the one before.As you sleep,your muscles relax little by little.Your heart beats more slowly,and your brain slows down.After you reach the fourth level,your body shifts back and forth from one level of sleep to the other.Although your mind slows down,from time to time you will dream. Scientists who study sleep state that when dreaming occurs,your eyeballs begin to move more quickly(Although your eyelids are closed).This stage of sleep is called REM,which stands for rapid eye movement.If you have trouble falling asleep,some people recommend breathing very deeply.Other people believe that drinking warm milk will help make youdrowsy.There is also an old suggestion the counting sheep will put you to sleep!1.A good title for this is____.A.SleepC.DreamsB.Good HealthD.Work and Rest2.The word drowsy in the last paragraph means____.A.sickC.asleepB.stand upD.a little sleepy3.This suggests that not getting enough sleep might make you_____.A.dream more often C.nervousB.have poor health D.breathe quickly4.During REM,____.A.your eyes move quickly C.you are restlessB.you dreamD.both A and B5.The average number of hours of sleep that an adult needs is______.A.approximately six hoursB.around ten hoursC.about eight hoursD.not stated here四、书面表达：草拟一份中学通知，用一段话说明以下要点：参观日期：5月25日，星期天时间：早上8点钟出发。

"That young woman who just waited on me," he said, pointing to an employee of the fast food restaurant where we were eating, " had to call someone over to help her count change. The cash register showed her I needed 9 9 cents, but she couldn't figure out how to count out the coins." I understood Mike's concer n. What we have done in this country, although unintentionally, is to create several generati ons of individuals most of whom have no idea how to reason; how to do simple math; how t o do research; or, finally, how to be creative . The reason for this is our overuse of informati on technology: video games, television, digital watches, calculators, and computers. Inform ation technology feeds us information without requiring us to think about it and let us perfo rm operations without understanding them.It is time we took a hard look at an educational system that only teaches our children ho w to push buttons. Our kids can't tell time if the clock has hands. They can use calculators, but cannot add, subtract, divide, or multiply. Video games have taken the place of active, im aginative play. Although most of them are technically literate, they choose not to read. They are so used to television and movies that they cannot use their imagination to stay intereste d in a book.It is not enough to recognize that a problem exists. What we need is a solution. The one I offer is simple to suggest, but may be impossible to carry out. We must unplug our children. If we don't, they will never learn how to solve problems. They will never learn even basi c reasoning skills and will certainly not develop creativity. Instead of filling classrooms wit h electronics, let's concentrate on good old-fashioned literacy ― reading books. Students m ust be taught not to perform computer operations by rote , but to figure and reason for them selves. They must see how things work and how processes lead to results, they must also str etch their imagination.6. What is the problem with the employee of the fast food restaurant?A. She does not know how to operate the cash register.B. She is unable to solve simple math problems.C. She lacks coins for customers.D. She does not know how to count coins.7. What is Mike's concern?A. People now rely too much on information technology.B. Many restaurants now do not provide good service.C. Modern technology feeds us too much information.D. We are creating people who can.8. For children to be interested in reading, they must _____.A. have an imaginative mindB. be given the right booksC. turn off their television setsD. have a large enough vocabulary9. What solution does the author suggest to our children's problem?A. Get them off TV and computer games.B. Turn off all electronic equipment at school.C. Teach them how to learn from video games.D. Give them freedom in the use of computers.10.We can see from the passage that the author believes _____.A. information technology is being overusedB. modern technology helps us to do things we don't even understandC. reading benefits children more than anything elseD. electronics has no place in the classroomEven the newest gardener realizes that plants die without water; what is not so well kn own is that plants die equally decisively, though not so quickly, if they are overwatered. Be ginners usually decide to play it safe and keep their pottedplants thoroughly wet. In conseq uence, death by drowning is one of the commonest disasters to befall the plants of a new ho rticulturist. Plants wither away if they don't get enough water, and this draws attention to th eirproblem. A plant that has been slightly underwatered so that it droops strikes terror into t he heart of its new owner. But it will, in fact, recover completely as long as rescue comes in time and the process is not repeated too often. Overwatered plants, unfortunately, do not gi ve any such obvious signal; slowly they cease to thrive and the first visible indication of ser ious trouble is a yellowing of the lower leaves. Unless the overwatered pot soil is given a co nsiderable period without water, during which time the plant will continue to look wretched , it will suddenly collapse in exactly the same way as the underwatered plant―but with no chance of being revived because the roots have rotted away.11. From the text we can infer a horticulturist is a person engaged in _____.A. growing plantsB. raising birdsC. cutting plantsD. studying the death cause of plants12. What does a new gardener usually decide to do to keep their potted plants alive?A. Underwatering the plants.B. Fertilizing the pot soil.C. Overwatering the plants.D. Loosening the pot soil.13. According to the text, which of the following plants might die without recovery?A. Plants with their lower leaves yellowing.B. Overwatered plants.C. Underwatered plants.D. Plants with worms.14. A withered plant might be rescued because _____.A. it doesn't aliveB. it is repeatedly overwateredC. it gives visible signal of dyingD. it dies slowly15. What is the purpose of this text?A. To warn gardeners not to underwater plants.B. To give information about general problems of gardening.C. To draw attention to the problem of overwatered plants.D. To recommend new gardeners the book about gardening.第三部分词汇和结构16. He is such an expert on machine repairing that his ears are highly _____ to any unusual sound in the machine.
