Each passage is followed by some questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A，B，C and D. You should decide on the best choicer and mark the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet with a single line through the center.Passage 1Tom，at 53，was a very successful man. He had worked up a first class business，married a charming woman and built himself a good house in the London suburbs，that was neither so modern，nor so conventional . He had good taste.His son，Bob，19，was doing well at Oxford；his daughter，April，aged 16，who was at a good school，had no wish to use make-up or wear low dresses.She still considered herself too young for these things. Yet she was happy，affectionate and thoroughly enjoyed life. All the same，for some time，Tom had been aware that he was working hard for very little. His wife gave hima quick kiss in the morning when he left for the office and，if she was notat a party，a quick kiss in the evening when he came home. It was obvious her life was completely filled with the children，her clothes，with keeping her figure slim，with keeping the house clean and smart，with her charities，her tennis and her friends，and parties.The children were even busier –the boy with his work，and with his own friends，the girl with hers. They were polite to Tom but if he came into the room when they were entertaining a friend there was at once a feeling of constraint. Even if they were alone together，he saw that when he came upon them they were slightly embarrassed and changed the subject of their conversation. Yet they didn’t seem to do this when they were with their mother. He would find them all three，for instance，laughing at something，and when he came in they would stop laughing and stare at him.66) From the passage we understand that Tom was _____________ .A. a successful business man who lived in a townB. not very successful but lived in a nice houseC. was a builder who lived in the suburbsD. was a successful man who had built his own house67) What does the writer tell us about Tom’s daughter，April?A.

They stop laughing and look at him.Passage 2Normally a student must attend a certain number of courses in order to graduate，and each course which he attends gives him a credit which he may count towards a degree. In many American universities the total work for a degree consists of thirty-six courses each lasting for one semester. A typical course consists of three classes per week for 15 weeks：while attending a university a student will probably attend four or five courses during each semester. Normally a student would expect to take four years attending two semesters each year. It is possible to spread the period ofwork for the degree over a longer period. It is also possible for a student to move between one university and another during his degree course，though this is not in fact done as a regular practice.For every course that he follows a student is given a grade，which is recorded，and the record is available for the student to show to prospective employers. All this imposes a constant pressure and strain of work，but in spite of this some students still find time for great activity in student affairs. Elections to positions in student organizations arouse much enthusiasm. The effective work of maintaining discipline is performed by students who advise the academic authorities. Any student who is thought to have broken the rules，for example，by cheating has to appear before a student court. With the enormous number of students，the operation of the system does involve a certain amount of activities. A student who has held one of these positions of authority is much respected and it will be of benefit to him later in his career.71) Normally a student would at least attend __________ classes each week.A. 36B. 20C. 12D. 1572) According to the first paragraph an American student is allowed________ .A. to live in a different universityB. to take a particular course in a different universityC. to live at home and drive to classesD. to get two degrees from two different universities73) American university students are usually under pressure of workBecause __________.A. their academic performance will affect their future careersB. they are heavily involved in student affairsC. they want to observe university disciplineD. they want to run for positions of authority74) Some students are enthusiastic for positions in student organizationsProbably because ________.A.they hate the constant pressure and strain of their studiesB.they will then be able to stay longer in the universityC.such positions help them get better jobsD.such positions are usually well paid75) The student organizations seem to be effective in __________.A. dealing with the academic affairs of the universityB. ensuring that the students observe university regulationsC. evaluating students’ performance by bringing them before a courtD. keeping up the students’ enthusiasm for social activitiesKey71) B. 1272) B. to take a particular course in a different university73) A. their academic performance will affect their future careers74) C. such positions help them get better jobs75) B. ensuring that the students observe university regulationsPassage 3We find that bright children are rarely held back by mixed-abilityteaching. On the contrary，both their knowledge and experiences are enriched. We feel that there are many disadvantages in grading pupils. It does not take into account the fact that children develop at different rates. It can have a bad effect on both the bright and the not-so-bright child. After all，it can be quite discouraging to be at the bottom of the top grade!Besides，it is rather unreal to grade people just according to their intellectual ability. This is only one aspect of their total personality. We are concerned to develop the abilities of all our pupils to the full，not just their academic abilities. We also value personal qualities and social skills，and we find that mixed-ability teaching contributes to all these aspects of learning.In our classrooms，we work in various ways. The pupils often work in groups：this gives them the opportunity to learn to co-operate，to share，and to develop leadership skills. They also learn how to cope with personal problems as well as learning how to think，to make decisions，to analyze and evaluate，and to communicate effectively. The pupils learn from each other as well as from the teacher.Sometimes the pupils work in pairs；sometimes they work on individual tasks and assignments，and they can do this at their own speed. They also have formal class teaching when this is appropriate. We encourage our pupils to use the library，and we teach them the skills they need in order to do this efficiently. An advanced pupil can do advanced work：it does not matter what age the child is. We expect our pupils to do their best，not their least，and we give them every encouragement to attain this goal.76) In the passag e the author’s attitude towards “mixed-ability teaching”is ___________.A. criticalB. questioningC. approvingD. objective77) By “held back” ( line 1) the author means “___________”.A. made to remain in the same classesB. forced to study in the lower classesC. drawn to their studiesD. prevented from advancing78) The author argues that a teacher’s chief concern should be thedevelopment of the student’s ___________.A. personal qualities and social skillsB. total personalityC. learning ability and communicative skillsD. intellectual ability79) Which of the following is NOT MENTIONED in the third paragraph?A. Group work gives pupils the opportunity to learn to work togetherwith others.B. Pupils also learn to develop their reasoning abilities.C. Group work provides pupils with the opportunity to learn to becapable organizers.D. Pupils also learn how to participate in teaching activities.80) The author’s purpose in writing this passage is to ___________.A. argue for teaching bright and not-so-bright pupils in the same classB. recommend pair work and group work for classroom activitiesC. offer advice on the proper use of the libraryD. emphasize the importance of appropriate formal classroom teachingKey76. C. approving77. D. prevented from advancing78 B. total personality79 D. Pupils also learn how to participate in teaching activities.80 A. argue for teaching bright and not-so-bright pupils in the same classV. 英汉翻译（English-Chinese Translation）15%Directions：In this part there are five sentences for you to translate into Chinese.

Each passage isfollowed by some questions or unfinished statements. For each ofthem there are four choices marked A), B), C) and D). You shoulddecide on the best choice and mark the corresponding letter on theAnswer Sheet.Passage OneQuestions 11 to 15 are based on the following passage.It is true that some couples spend every waking minute together.Others fill their hours with personal hobbies, outside interestsand even part-time jobs, just to keep their distance from each other!"There should be private time and couple time," suggests Dr. Stephen, "You don't want your latter years to turn into a process where two people unite as one. If you hold too tightly to your partner, it's going to cause resentment and anger. If you're completely separate, you'll both be lonely and disconnected. You need balance. So you have to talk about how you'll achieve that."The right balance It's different for every couple. "Having a conversation about time can be difficult, but it's important for both partners to process those feelings out loud," Dr. Stephen says. "You should not be accusing and act as a judge—ask the difficult questions, but do it in a loving way. You could say something like, 'How are we going to be as individuals and how are we going to be as a couple' "Barbara and Chris Christensen have achieved the balance that works for them. In addition to daily routines that keep them close —including about 10 minutes for a daily check-in and about a half hour of relaxation time—they each maintain separate interests and friendships."We have found that we need time apart," Barbara says. "I have a group of women friends that I have known for the last 30 years. We have dinner out once a month. We women also have parties and weekend or weeklong vacations as a group at a beach or somewhere.Chris, a former fighter pilot, has many aviation-oriented (航空的) groups and friends and also a poker-playing group. We have found it important to have separate time as well as together time."11. The author writes the passage to ______.A) offer some suggestions on how to spend the time afterretirementB) advise couples to develop their separate hobbiesC) warn couples not to be accusing each otherD) give people some advice on how to entertain themselves afterretirement12. The second paragraph is mainly intended to_______.A) warn the husband not to act as a judgeB) suggest couples have discussions about difficultiesC) suggest how to keep the correct balanceD) require couples to be considerate13. Dr. Stephen suggests that _________after retirement.A) couples s tay together all the timeB) couples express their feelings in a loving wayC) couples be separateD) wives make many friends14. It can be inferred that________.A) many couples are faced with problems after retirementB) America has a large population of retired peopleC) most people join various social groups after retirementD) playing poker is a popular activity among retired people15. Barbara and her friends do the following EXCEPT_______.A) having dinner regularlyB) holding partiesC) having weekly vacations at the beachD) having fun playing pokerPassage TwoQuestions 16 to 20 are based on the following passage.Elderly people respond best to a calm and unhurried environment. This is not always easy to provide as their behavior can sometimes be irritating. If they get excited or upset then they may become more difficult to look after. Although sometimes it can be extremely difficult, it is best to be patient and not to get upset yourself. You should always encourage old people to do as much as possible for themselves but be ready to lend a helping hand when necessary.Failing memory makes it difficult for the person to recall all the basic kinds of information we take for granted. The obvious way to help in this situation is to supply the information that is missing and help them make sense of what is going on. You must use every opportunity to provide information but remember to keep itsimple and straightforward.“Good morning, Mum. This is Fiona, your daughter. It is eight o’clock, so if you get up now, we can have breakfast downstairs.”When the elderly makes confused statements e.g. about going out to his or her old employment or visiting a dead relative, correct in a calm matter-of-fact fashion: “You don’t work in the office any more. You are retired now. Will you come and help me with the dishes”We rely heavily on the information provided by signposts, clocks, calendars and newspapers. These assist us to organize and direct our behavior. Confused old people need these aids all the time to compensate for their poor memory. Encourage them to use reminder boards or diaries for important coming events and label the contents of different cupboards and drawers. Many other aids such as information cards, old photos, scrap books, and addresses or shopping list could help in individual case.16. Why can’t we sometimes keep calm in front of old peopleA)Because old people sometimes annoy us.B)Because old people sometimes don’t understand us.C)Because we are sometimes in a bad mood.D)Because we are sometimes in a hurry.17. What does the author encourage us when we talk with old peopleA) To do as little as possible.B) To do as much as they can.C) To help others when needed.D) To be patient and not get upset.18. How should we provide information to old people with failing memoriesA) By being helpful.B) By being direct.C) By being sensitive.D) By being obvious.19. What is the purpose of information provided on such things as signpostsA) To help us organize and direct our behavior.B) To help us make use of newspapers.C) To help us correct other people.D) To help us understand statements.20. What is the main idea of the passageA)What happens to old people with failing memory.B)How to help old people with failing memory.C)Why old people have poor memory.D)How to improve bad memory.Passage ThreeQuestions 21 to 25 are based on the following passage.It is often the case that when something goes wrong，it can be very satisfying to say，”Well, it’s so-and-so’s fault.” or“I know I’m late，but it’s not my fault；the car broke down.” It is probably not your fault，but once you form the habit of blaming somebody or something else for a bad situation，you are a loser. You have no power and could do nothing that helps change the situation. However, you can have great power over what happens to you if you stop focusing on whom to blame and start focusing on how to remedy the situation. This is the winner’s key to success.Winners are great at overcoming problems. For example, if you were late because your car broke down, maybe you need to have your car examined more regularly. Or, you might start to carry along with you the useful phone numbers, so you could call for help when in need. For another example, if your colleague causes you problems on the job for lack of responsibility or ability, find ways of dealing with his irresponsibility or inability rather than simply blame the person. Ask to work with a different person, or don’t rely on the person. You should accept that the person. Ask to work with a different person, or don’t rely on this person. You should accept that the person is not reliable and find creative ways to work successfully regardless of how your colleague fails to do hisjob well.This is what being a winner is all about—creatively using your skills and talents so that you are successful no matter what happens. Winners don’t have fewer problems in their lives; they have just as many difficult situations to face as anybody else. They are just better at seeing those problems as challenges and opportunities to develop their own talents.

The same problem, on a smaller scale, faces practically every company trying to develop new products and create new jobs. There can be little prospect of raising the sort of sums needed from friends and people we know, and while banks may agree to provide short-term finance, they are generally unwilling to provide money on a permanent basis for long term projects. So companies turn to the public, inviting people to lend them money, or take a share in the business in exchange for a share in future profits. This they do by issuing stocks and shares in the businessthrough the Stock Exchange. By doing so，they can put into circulation the savings of individuals and institutions, both at home and overseas.When the saver needs his money back, he does not have to go to the company with whom he originally placed it. Instead, he sells his shares through a stockbroker to some other saver who is seeking to invest his money.Many of the services needed both by industry and by each of us are provided by the Government or by local authorities. Without hospitals, roads, electricity, telephones, railways, this country could not function. All these require continuous spending on new equipment and new development if they are to serve us properly, requiring more money than is raised though taxes alone. The Government, local authorities, and nationalized industries therefore frequently need to borrow money to finance major capital spending, and they, too, come to the Stock Exchange.There is hardly a man or woman in this country whose job or whose standard of living does not depend on the ability of his or her employers to raise money to finance new development. In one way or another, this new money must come from the savings of the country. The Stock Exchange exists to provide a channel through which these savings can reach those who need finance.26.Almost all companies involved in new production must ______.A) rely on their own financial resourcesB) persuade the banks to provide long-term loanC) borrow large sums of money from friends and people they knowD) depend on the population as a whole for finance27.The money which enables these companies to go ahead with theirprojects is ______.A) invested in different companies on the Stock ExchangeB) exchanged for part ownership in the Stock ExchangeC) raised by the selling of shares in the companiesD) repaid to its original owners as soon as possible28.When the savers want their money back, they ______.A) put their shares in the company back on the marketB) ask another company to obtain their money for themC) look for other people to borrow money fromD) transfer their money to a more successful company29.All the essential services on which we depend are ______.A) run by the Government or our local authoritiesB) in constant need of financial supportC) financed wholly by rates and taxesD) unable to provide for the needs of the population30.The Stock Exchange makes it possible for the government, localauthorities and nationalized industries ______.A) to make everybody lend money to themB) to borrow as much money as they wishC) to make certain everybody saves moneyD) to raise money to finance new developmentsPart III Vocabulary and Structure (25 minutes)Directions:There are 25 incomplete sentences in this part.

If they receive a gift, an invitation or hospitality treatment from someone, they will offer back to the one when it is suitable.

Each passage is followed by some questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A), B), C) and D). You should decide on the best choice and mark the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet. Passage OneQuestions 11 to 15 are based on the following passage.In bringing up children, every parent watches eagerly the child’s acquisition (学会) of each new skill-the first spoken words, the first independent steps, or the beginning of reading and writing. It is often tempting to hurry the child beyond his natural learning rate, but this can set up dangerous feelings of failure and states of worry in the child: This might happen at any stage. A baby might be forced to use a toilet too early, a young child might be encouraged to learn to read before he knows the meaning of the words he reads. On the other hand, though, if a child is left alone too much, or without any learning opportunities, he loses his natural enthusiasm for life and his desire to find out new things for himself.Patents vary greatly in their degree of strictness towards their children. Some may be especially strict in money matters. Others are severe over times of coming home at night or punctuality for meals. In general, the controls imposed represent the needs of the parents and the values of the community as much as the child’s own happiness.As regards the development of moral standards in the growing child, consistency is very important in parental teaching. To forbid a thing one day and excuse it the next is no foundation for morality (道德). Also, parents should realize that “example is better than precept”. If they are not sincere and do not practise what they preach (说教), their children may grow confused, and emotionally insecure when they grow old enough to think for themselves, and realize they have been to some extent fooled.A sudden awareness of a marked difference between their parents’ principles and their morals can be a dangerous disappointment.11. Eagerly watching the child’s acquisition of new skills ________.A) should be avoidedB) is universal among parentsC) sets up dangerous states of worry in the childD) will make him lose interest in learning new things12. In the process of children’s learning new skills parents ________.A) should encourage them to read before they know the meaning of the words they readB) should not expect too much of themC) should achieve a balance between pushing them too hard and leaving them on their ownD) should create as many learning opportunities as possible13. The second paragraph mainly tells us that ________.A) parents should be strict with their childrenB) parental controls reflect only the needs of the parents and the values of the communityC) parental restrictions vary, and are not always enforced for the benefit of the children aloneD) parents vary in their strictness towards their children according to the situation14. The word “precept” (Line 3, Para. 3) probably means “________”.A) idea B) punishmentC) behavior D) instruction15. In moral matters, parents should ________.A) observe the rules themselvesB) be aware of the marked difference between adults and childrenC) forbid things which have no foundation in moralityD) consistently ensure the security of their childrenPassage TwoQuestions 16 to 20 are based on the following passage.These days we take for granted the wide variety of music available on the radio. But, this wasn’t always the case. In the early days of radio, stations were capable of broadcasting only a narrow range of sounds, which was all right for the human voice but music didn’t sound very good. There was also a great deal of crackling and other static noises that further interfered with the quality of the sound.A man named Edwin Armstrong, who was a music lover, set out to change this. He invented FM radio, a technology that allowed stations to send a broad range of frequencies that greatly improved the quality of the music.Now, you’d think that this would have made him a millionaire; it didn’t. Radio stations at that time had invested enormous amounts of money in the old technology. So the last thing they wanted was to invest millions more in the new technology. Nor did they want to have to compete with other radio stations that had a superior sound and could put them out of business. So they pressured the Federal Communications Commission —the department of the United States government that regulates radio stations — to put restrictive regulations on FM radio.The result was that its use was limited to a very small area around New England. Of course as we all know, Edwin Armstrong’s FM technology eventually prevailed and was adopted by thousands of stations round the world. But this took years of court battles and he never saw how itcame to affect the lives of almost everyone.16. What is the passage mainly about?A) The invention of musical recording equipment.B) The role of government in mass communications.C) The emergence of a new technology.D) The similarities between old and new radio stations.17. What was the main disadvantage of early radio broadcasting?A) It was very expensive.B) The sound quality was poor.C) It could only transmit a human voice.D) The signal was transmitted over a small area.18. What was the purpose of Edwin Armstrong by inventing FM radio?A) To make it possible for radio stations to broadcast a broad range of sounds.B) To make other radio stations spend a large sum of money on more research.C) To make himself world-famous and therefore earn more money.D) To make radio stations compete with one another.19. Why did the owners of radio stations react negatively to Armstrong’s invention?A) Its use was too strictly regulated. B) They thought it was unsafe.C) It threatened their business. D) It was of poor quality.20. What does the passage imply about Edwin Armstrong?A) He became a millionaire from his invention.B) He was an accomplished musician.C) He worked for the Federal Communications Commission.D) He died before FM became popular.Passage ThreeQuestions 21 to 25 are based on the following passage.Psychologist George Spilich and colleagues at Washington College in Chestertown, Maryland, decided to find out whether, as many smokers say, smoking helps them to “think and concentrate. Spilich put young non-smokers, active smokers and smokers deprived (被剥夺) of cigarettes through a series of tests.In the first test, each subject (试验对象) sat before a computer screen and pressed a key as soon as he or she recognized a target letter among a grouping of 96. In this simple test, smokers, deprived smokers and non-smokers performed equally well.The next test was more complex, requiring all to scan sequences of 20 identical letters and respond the instant one of the letters transformed into a different one. Non-smokers were faster, but under the stimulation of nicotine (尼古丁), active smokers were faster than deprived smokers.In the third test of short-term memory, non-smokers made the fewest errors, but deprived smokers committed fewer errors than active smokers.The fourth test required people to read a passage, then answer questions about it. Non-smokers remembered 19 percent more of the most important information than active smokers, and deprived smokers bested those who had smoked a cigarette just before testing. Active smokers tended not only to have poorer memories but also had trouble separating important information from insignificant details.“As our tests became more complex,” s ums up Spilich, “non-smokers performed better than smokers by wider and wider margins” He predicts, “smokers might perform adequately at m any jobs-until they got complicated. A smoking airline pilot could fly adequately if no problems arose, but if something went wrong, smoking might damage his mental capacity.”21. The purpose of George Spilich’s experiments is ________.A) to test whether smoking has a positive effect on the mental capacity of smokersB) to show how smoking damages people’s mental capacityC) to prove that smoking affects people’s regular performanceD) to find out whether smoking helps people’s short-term memory22. George Spilich’s experiment was conducted in such a way as to ________.A) compel the subjects to separate major information from minor detailsB) put the subjects through increasingly complex testsC) check the effectiveness of nicotine on smokersD) register the prompt responses of the subjects23. The word “bested” (Line 3, Para. 5) most probably means ________.A) beat B) enviedC) caught up with D) made the best of24. Which of the following statements is true?A) Active smokers in general performed better than deprived smokers.B) Active smokers responded more quickly than the other subjects.C) Non-smokers were not better than other subjects in performing simple tasks.D) Deprived smokers gave the slowest responses to the various tasks.25. We can infer from the last paragraph that ________.A) smokers should not expect to become airline pilotsB) smoking in emergency cases causes mental illnessC) no airline pilots smoke during flightsD) smokers may prove unequal to handing emergency casesPassage FourQuestions 26 to 30 are based on the following passage.St. Patrick’s Day (March 17) is one of the most important holidays in Ireland. People will wear green shirts, ties, and hair ribbons. Some even dye their hair green because they believe that on that day the color brings them good luck.On St. Patrick’s Day, the Irish around the world traditionally attend church in the morning and have some celebrations in the afternoon. They dance, drink, parade, and feast. A traditional meal includes meat, cabbage and a special Irish beer called Guinness.St. Patrick’s Day is a religious holiday that can be traced back more than one thousand years ago, and it is related to a boy named St. Patrick who became an Irish saint when he grew up.He was born to a wealthy family in Wales around the year 385 AD. But when he was sixteen, a band of raiders（劫掠者）took him as a slave to what is now the neighboring island of Ireland.Patrick lived there for several years. He was so lonely and afraid that he took solace in religion and became a faithful Christian. Later, he returned to Ireland as a missionary, traveling from village to village and talking about his faith. He explained to people the Father, the Son (Jesus), and the Holy Spirit as each of the leaves of a shamrock. There were three leaves, yet they were one plant. From then on, the shamrock, a small plant that grew wild around Ireland, has been a symbol of Ireland and because of it, green is associated with St. Patrick’s Day.26. From the passage, we can infer that ______.A) Patrick lived in Ireland all his lifeB) Patrick’s family was very poorC) Patrick’s life in what is now the neighboring island of Ireland was hardD) Patrick didn’t believe in Christianity27. What is the symbol of Ireland according to this passage?A) St. Patrick. B) Guinness. C) Cabbage. D) Shamrock.28. The underlined word “solace” in Paragraph 5 means ______.A) love B) happiness C) hatred D) comfort29. Which of the following statements is NOT true?A) St. Patrick’s Day is a worldwide holiday.B) St. Patrick’s Day has a long history.C) On St. Patrick’s Day, green is the lucky color in people’s eyes.D) People respect St. Patrick and love him.30. What is the passage about?A) The symbols of St. Patrick’s Day.B) The origin of St. Patrick’s Day.C) St. Patrick’s life. D) The history of St. Patrick’s Day.Part III Vocabulary and Structure (25 minutes) Directions:There are 25 incomplete sentences in this part.

成考学位英语二
Part I Reading Comprehension (30 points)Directions: There are three passages in this section. Each passage is followed by some questions or unfinished statements. For each of them, there are four choices marked A, B, C, and D. You should decide on the best choice and mark the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet. Passage 1Questions 1 to 5 are based on the following passage.I was amazed to find out that my daughter, Jackie, rarely took public transportation. Recent data suggests that young people are driving less. Statistics indicate that fewer teenagers and young adults have adriver's license now compared to previous years. According to a reportby the US PIRG Education Fund, the percentage of high school seniorswith a driver's license has declined from 85.3% in 1996 to 71.5% in 2015. Why this change in behavior?The report offers a number of possible explanations. It mentions therise of social media and the increasing ability to connect with others digitally, which may have reduced the need for travel. Teens in today's age can easily keep in touch with their friends through various online platforms, lessening the desire to meet up in person.Another reason cited is the high cost of car ownership. Many younger people are burdened with student loans or low-paying jobs, making it difficult to afford a car along with its accompanying expenses such as maintenance, insurance, and fuel costs. Additionally, the report points out that public transportation is becoming more accessible and reliable, which further reduces the need for a car.Environmental concerns are also affecting young people's driving habits. With the increasing awareness of global warming and carbon emissions, many individuals are opting for more eco-friendly modes oftransportation. Bicycles and shared mobility services like bike-sharing and ride-sharing have gained popularity among the younger generation.In conclusion, the decline in driving among young people can be attributed to a combination of factors, including the rise of social media, financial constraints, improved public transportation, and environmental consciousness. This shift in behavior may have long-term implications for society as it impacts not only the automobile industry but also the way communities are designed and the overall transportation landscape.1. According to the passage, why are fewer teenagers and young adults driving compared to previous years?A. They are not interested in getting a driver's license.B. They prefer taking public transportation.C. They can connect with others digitally.D. They cannot afford car ownership.2. What does the report say about public transportation?A. It is becoming less reliable.B. It is more expensive than car ownership.C. It is more accessible now.D. It is not a popular choice among young people.3. Which of the following is NOT a reason mentioned for the decline in driving among young people?A. The high cost of car ownership.B. The rise of social media.C. The availability of public transportation.D. Environmental concerns.4. What is the main idea of this passage?A. The automobile industry is facing challenges due to declining interest in driving.B. Young people are more interested in social media than driving.C. The decline in driving among young people is influenced by various factors.D. The rise of eco-friendly transportation is the future trend.5. According to the passage, the decline in driving among young people may have what effect on society?A. Increased car ownership among older generations.B. Redesigning communities to be more car-friendly.C. A decreased need for public transportation.D. Changes in transportation infrastructure and planning.Passage 2Questions 6 to 10 are based on the following passage.Few animals are as elusive and mysterious as the snow leopard, also known as the "ghost of the mountains." These large cats inhabit the high mountain ranges of Central Asia, with their range spanning across 12 countries. However, due to their solitary nature and elusive behavior, studying the snow leopard has proven to be a challenging task.Snow leopards primarily live in rugged and remote habitats, such as the mountains of China, Mongolia, and Bhutan. They are well adapted to these harsh environments, with their thick fur providing insulation against the cold and their wide, padded paws helping them navigate through snow-covered terrains. Their reclusive behavior and excellent camouflage make them extremely difficult to spot, even for experienced wildlife researchers.Despite the challenges, scientists have been making efforts to learn more about these elusive creatures. Studying snow leopards is crucialfor their conservation, as they are listed as a vulnerable species by the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN). The main threats to their survival are poaching, habitat loss, and retaliatory killing by local communities. Snow leopards are often hunted for their fur and bones, which are highly valued in traditional Chinese medicine. One method researchers are using to study snow leopards is through the use of camera traps. These motion-activated cameras are set up in locations where snow leopards are known to roam, capturing precious footage of these secretive cats. Through these images and videos, scientists can identify individuals, track their movements, and assess their population sizes and distributions.Community-based conservation initiatives are also being implemented to protect snow leopards and their habitats. By involving local communities in the efforts, it helps create awareness and provides economic incentives for people to protect these endangered cats. Projects include promoting sustainable livelihoods, such as ecotourism and handicrafts, and establishing livestock insurance programs to compensate herders for any livestock losses caused by snow leopards.In conclusion, while the snow leopard remains a challenging animal to study, researchers and conservationists are employing various methods to gain a better understanding of these enigmatic creatures. Through the use of technology and community involvement, efforts are being made to protect the snow leopard and ensure its survival for future generations.6. Why are snow leopards difficult to study?A. They are nocturnal animals.B. They have excellent camouflage.C. They are highly endangered.D. They live in remote and rugged environments.7. What are the main threats to the snow leopard's survival?A. Natural disasters and climate change.B. Competition with other predators.C. Poaching and habitat loss.D. Disease and genetic disorders.8. How do researchers use camera traps to study snow leopards?A. They capture snow leopards and attach tracking devices to them.B. They set up cameras where snow leopards can be observed.C. They use drones to track snow leopards from the air.D. They analyze snow leopard footprints in the snow.9. How are local communities involved in the conservation of snow leopards?A. They are trained to become wildlife researchers.B. They hunt snow leopards for their fur and bones.C. They participate in ecotourism projects.D. They receive compensation for livestock losses caused by snow leopards.10. What is the main idea of this passage?A. Snow leopards are extremely elusive and endangered.B. Studying snow leopards is crucial for their conservation.C. Snow leopards are hunted for their fur in traditional Chinese medicine.D. Community involvement plays a vital role in snow leopard conservation.。

For each of them there are 4 choices marked A, B, C and D. Choose the best one and mark your answer on the ANSWER SHEET with a single bar through the Centre of the letter that indicates your choice.Passage 1The top of the world is a wonderland. In winter, the temperature often falls to -30 degrees Fahrenheit and the sun never rises. The ocean is surrounded by frozen ground. There are few people or trees, but to polar bears, the Arctic is home.Polar bears have thick fur, big paws and other features that make them well prepared for life in their tough environment. In fact, they need the Arctic sea ice for survival. But climate change is causing larger and larger areas of summer sea ice to melt. Experts say that if warming patterns continue, the Arctic could be free of summer sea ice by 2050. That may cause two-thirds of the word's 20,000 polar bears to be gone by then too.Polar bears can’t survive for long on land. Seals are their main source of food. The only place where polar bears can hunt seals is on the ice. Although these bears are strong swimmers, they are no match for lightning swift seals in the water. A polar bear has brilliantly clever strategies to overcome this disadvantage. In winter the bear waits motionl ess beside a seal’s breathing hole, which is a narrow tunnel through the ice. Often many hours pass before the seal comes up for air and the bear kills it with a powerful blow of its paw. In summer, the polar bears that live on land eat very little and wait for the sea ice to returnWith the sea ice forming later in the year and melting earlier, polar bears do not have enough opportunity to hunt and eat. Less sea ice makes it harder for the bears to catch the seals. The bears must swim longer distances between ice packs, and they can’t always make it. The ice is also getting thinner. These conditions can cause polar-bear cubs to become separated from their mothers, who provide them with food.Steven Amstrup is the chief scientist of Polar Bear International北极熊国际. The group aims to save the bears and their home. "The more people who see polar bears and understand their difficult situations, the better the chance we’ll alter our warmingpath in time to save them," he says.11. Which is the best title for the passage?A. Climate Change in the ArcticB. How to Protect the EnvironmentC. The Arctic Is Home to Polar BearsD. Polar Bears in Danger12. Where do polar bears usually hunt seals?A. On land.B. In open water.C. In openings in the sea iceD. At the bottom of the sea.13. The word "cubs" in the fourth paragraph is closest in meaning to ______.A. adultsB. babiesC. huntersD. enemies14. According to the passage, which of the following statements is TRUE?A. Starving polar bears are increasingly coming into villages, where they may be killed either for food or safety.B. Polar bears can spend their entire lives on land if the sea ice melts completely.C. Two-thirds of the world's polar bears may disappear by 2050 as global warming continues.D. The growing distance between ice packs is not a problem for polar bears, because they are excellent swimmers.15. What’s the mission of Polar Bears International?A. Saving energy.B. Conducting scientific research.C. Seeking international cooperation.D. Saving polar bears and their home.Passage 2The exact number of English words is not known. The large dictionaries have over half a million entries, but many of these are compound words ( schoolroom, sugar bowl) or different derivatives of the same word ( rare-rarely, rarefy) , and a good many are obsolete words to help us read older literature. Dictionaries do not attempt to cover completely words that we can draw on: the informal vocabulary, especially slang, localism, the terms of various occupations and professions; words used only occasionally by scientists and specialists in many fields; foreign words borrowed for use in English; or many new words or new senses of words that come into use every year and that may or may not be used long enough to warrant being included. It would be conservative to say that there are over a million English words that any of us might meet in our listening and reading and that we may draw on in our speaking and writing.Professor Seashore concluded that first-graders enter school with at least 24, 000 words and add 5,000 each year so that they leave high school with at least 80,000. These figures are for recognition vocabulary, the words we understand when we reador hear them. Our active vocabulary, the words we use in speaking and writing is considerably smaller.You cannot always produce a word exactly when you want it. But consciously using the words you recognize in reading will help get them into your active vocabulary. Occasionally in your reading pay particular attention to these words, especially when the subject is one that you might well write or talk about. Underline or make a list of words that you feel a need for and look up the less familiar ones in a dictionary. And then before very long find a way to use some of them. Once you know how they are pronounced and what they stand for, you can safely use them.16. According to the author’s estimation, there are ____ words in English.A. more than half a millionB. at least 24,000C. at least 80,000D. more than a million17. The italicized word "obsolete" in the first paragraph is closest in meaning to _____A. no longer in useB. profoundC. colorfulD. common18. One's recognition vocabulary is ______.A. less often used than his active vocabularyB. smaller than his active vocabularyC. as large as his active vocabularyD. much larger than his active vocabulary19. The author does not suggest getting recognition vocabulary into active vocabulary by _____.A. making a list of words you need and looking up the new ones in a dictionaryB. spending half an hour studying the dictionaryC. consciously using the words you recognize in readingD. trying to use the words you recognize20. From the passage we learn that _____.A. dictionaries completely cover the words we can make use ofB. "schoolroom" is used in the passage as an example of a specialized termC. once you know how a word is pronounced and what it represents, you have turned it into your active wordD. active vocabulary refers to words we understand when we read and hear them Passage 3In 1991, when announced to be HIV positive, "Magic" Johnson became the face of a disease that the public still had a lot to learn about. The basketball star established the Magic Johnson Foundation that year and took a leading role on the public relations and fund-raising fronts in the fight against HIV and AIDS. Fifteen years later, there is still more work to do."A lot of times, what happens is that the poster is not enough," Johnson says, motioning to his likeness on the blackboard behind him. 'So I have to get out and tell them myself, like I'm doing here today." Johnson is now talking to an assembly at Boys and Girls High School in his neighborhood of Brooklyn, N.Y. The crowd is a few hundred students in a mostly black, working-class neighborhood. Thus event is the fourth of a 10-city speaking tour that is organized for minority communities.According to drug maker Abbot, half of the more than 1 million Americans living with HIV are black. African-American men are being diagnosed with the disease at a rate 10 times as high as that of white men. For women, the situation is even worse. The rate of diagnosis for African-American women is 23 times as high as that for their white counterparts."Right now, we don't have a solution on how to combat it, so we're trying to do some different things than what has happened before," Johnson says.Getting the word out is what draws Johnson to black neighborhood high schools such as this one, and the message he brings with him is a practical one. "The safest sex is no sex," he says. "But, in reality, we know only a certain number of people are going to hear that. Then I hit them with Hey, if you’re going to do it, you’ve got to protect yourself and your partner."Hopefully, by talking realistically instead of avoiding the issues, Johnson can help make the next generation of African-Americans less likely to have HIV and AIDS. "Just try to be real with them," he says. "They appreciate that."21. The phrase "disease that the public still had a lot to learn about" here means a disease that __.A. was already well-known thenB. was too complicated for peopleC. was still too new to be understoodD. killed too many victims then22. According to the passage, the group with the highest AIDS rate is ______.A. the white AmericansB. African-American menC. the American womenD. the black American women23. The speaker is named "Magic" Johnson because ______.A. he was once a famous basketball coachB. he was a happy survivor of the unhappy diseaseC. he was given chance to talk of his own experienceD. he was a very practical and realistic person in life24. The word "combat" (Paragraph 4) is closest in meaning to ______.A. come backB. combineC. fight againstD. avoid25. What is the purpose of Johnson’s speech tour?A. To take himself as an example in fighting the disease.B. To raise the awareness of young Americans against the disease.C. To provide a better cure for the black American HIV sufferers.D. To try some new medical solutions on the HIV and AIDS sufferers. Passage 4As any middle-class parent knows, unpaid work experience can give youngsters a valuable introduction to a secure job. The government has recognized it too, abandoning rules in 2011 that had formerly stopped 16 to 24-year-olds from doing unpaid work while claiming unemployment benefit. But moving from that to forcing them to work without pay in order to collect these benefits has proved a big step.More than one million young people in Britain are unemployed, the highest number since the mid-1980s. Keen both to cut the welfare bill and to avoid the depressed future wages that may result from early unemployment, the government has introduced an ambitious program of reform to get youngsters off welfare and into work. A key part of it is ensuring that no one gets benefit from the government for long; ministers are keen to avoid what happened after the early-1980s recession, when unemployment continued in some parts of the country for a long time after the economy began to improve.To help young people into work, ministers had persuaded lots of employers, including bakery chains, bookshops and supermarkets, to take on unemployed youths, who receive work experience but no pay, with the prospect of a proper job for those who shine. Some 35,000 youngsters participated last year; half found paid work soon after finishing the scheme.The idea of getting young adults used to showing up for work is popular with voters: according to a survey published in February, about 60% of people support the program. Equally attractive was the option of compelling them to work: Under the existing arrangements youngsters could choose whether or not to accept a place, but if they dropped out after the end of the first week, they stood to lose up to two weeks' benefits.Yet the scheme has also polarized opinion: a third of people are consistently opposed. Following a noisy "Right to Work" campaign that accused employers of co-operating secretly with the government in "forced labor", several firms dropped out of the program. To prevent this from getting worse, Chris Grayling, an employment minister, admitted that young people could leave their work experience at any time without being punished for doing so. This not only halted the flight of employers ( for now, at least) but also enabled him to announce that new firms have agreed to take part in the program.26. According to the passage, young people in Britain ______.A. are used to showing up for workB. value unpaid work very muchC. are always opposed to unpaid workD. could learn something about job security through unpaid work27. According to the passage, which of the following is NOT TRUE?A. Most voters support the government’s effort to help young people to work.B. Some people protest against the government' s attempt to force young people to work.C. There are more than one million young people who took part in the program.D. There are more than one million young people who are jobless.28. According to the author, the British government is trying to _______.A. punish young people if they are not cooperating with itB. reform the unemployed youngstersC. avoid the economic slowdownD. reduce welfare spendingPart Ⅲ Vocabulary and Structure (20 points)Directions: There are 20 incomplete sentences in this section.

The other depicts the recreations of rural life. In these paintings, fishermen fish on the lake, farmers hew or collect herbs on the hills and scholars compose poems or paintings under pine trees. These two themes respectively represent the ideal life of Confucianism and Taoism.Part V Writing (15 points)Directions: For this part, you are allowed 30 minutes to write a composition on the topic "Online Shopping".

Each statementcontains information given in one of the paragraphs. Identify the paragraph from which the information isderived. You may choose a paragraph more than once. Each paragraph is marked with a letter.Answer thequestions by marking the corresponding letter on Answer Sheet.Addicted, Really?A）M ental-health specialists disagree over whether to classify compulsive online behavior as addiction—and how to treat it. CRAIG SMALLWOOD, a disabled American war veteran, spent more than 20,000 hours over five years playing an online role-playing game called “Lineage II”. When NCsoft, the South Korean firm behind the game, accused him of breaking the game’s rules and banned him, he was plunged into depression, severe paranoia(偏执) and hallucinations（幻想）. He spent three weeks in hospital. He sued NCsoft for fraud and negligence（过失）, demanding over $9m in damages and claiming that the company acted negligentlyby failing to warn him of the danger that he would become “addicted” to the game.B）B ut does it make sense to talk of addiction to online activity? Mental-health specialists say three online behaviors can become problematic for many people: video games,pornography（色情作品）and messaging via e-mail and social networks. But there is far less agreement about whether any of this should be called “Internet addiction”—or how to treat it.C）S ome mental-health specialists wanted “Internet addiction” to be included in the fifth version of psychiatry’s bible, the “Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders”, known as DSM-V, which is currently being overhauled（全面修订）.The American Medical Association endorsed（赞成）the idea in 2007, only to backtrack（放弃）days later. The American Journal of Psychiatry called Internet addiction a “common disorder” and supported its recognition. Last year the DSM-V drafting group made its decision: Internet addiction would not be included as a “behavioral addiction”—only gambling made the cut—but it said further study was necessary.D）S keptics say there is nothing uniquely addictive about the Internet. Back in 2000 Joseph Walther, a communications professor at Michigan State University, co-wrote an article in which he suggested, tongue in cheek, that the criteria used to call someone an Internet addict might also show that most professors were “addicted” to academia（学术活动）. He argued that other factors, such as depression, are the real problem. He stands by that view today. “No scientific evidence has emerged to suggest that Internet use is a cause rather than a consequence of some other sort of issu e,” he says. “Focusing on and treating people for Internet addiction, rather than looking for underlying clinical issues, is unwise.”E）Others disagree. “That would be wrong,” says Kimberly Young, a researcher and therapist who has worked on Internet addiction since 1994. She insists that the Internet, with its powerfully immersive environments, creates new problems that people must learn to navigate（应对）. Otherwise，the changing lifestyle will affect the development of the society.F）No one disputes that online habits can turn toxic. Take South Korea, where widespread broadband means that the average high-school student plays video games for 23 hours each week. In 2007 the government estimated that around 210,000 children needed treatment for Internet addiction. Last year newspapers around the globe carried the story of a South Korean couple who fed their infant daughter so little that she starved to death. Instead of caring for the child, the couple spent most nights at an Internet café, sinking hours into a role-playing game in which they raised, fed and cared for a virtual daughter. And several South Korean men have died from exhaustion after marathon, multi-day gaming sessions.G）T he South Korean government has since asked game developers to adopt a gaming curfew (宵禁) for children, to prevent them playing between midnight and 8 am. Ithas also opened more than 100 clinics for Internet addiction and sponsored an “Internet rescue camp” for serious cases.H）B ut compulsive behavior is not limited to gamers. E-mail or web-use behaviors can also show signs of addiction. Getting through a business lunch in which no one pulls out a phone to check their messages now counts as a minor miracle in many quarters. A deluge（泛滥） of self-help books, most recently “Alone Together” b y Sherry Turkle, a social scientist at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, offer advice on how to unplug（去除障碍）.I）Pornography is hardly new, either, but the Internet makes accessing it much easier than ever before. When something can be summoned in an instant via broadband, whether it is a game world, an e-mail inbox or pornographic material, it is harder to resist. New services lead to new complaints. When online auction sites first became popular, talk of “eBay addiction” soon followed. Dr Young says women complain to her now about addiction to Facebook—or even to “Farm Ville”, a game playable only within Facebook.J）Treatment centres have popped up around the world. In 2006 Amsterdam’s Smith & Jones facility billed itself as “the first and, currently, the only residential video-game treatment program in the world”. In America the Restart Internet Addiction Recovery Program claims to treat Internet addiction, gaming addiction, and even “texting addiction”. In China, meanwhile, military-style “boot camps” are the preferred way to treat Internet problems. After several deaths, however, scrutiny of the camps has intensified.K）Y et many people like feeling permanently connected. As Arikia Millikan, an American blogger, once put it, “If I could be jacked in at e very waking hour of the day, I would, and I think a lot of my peers would do the same.” Bob La Rose, an Internet specialist at Michigan State University, doesn’t believe her. In his research on college students, he found that most sense when they are “goin g overboard and restore self-control”. Less than 1% have a pathological（病态的） problem, he adds.For most people, Internet use “is just a habit—and one that brings us pleasure.”1.According to Joseph Walther, it is unwise to emphasize the treatment of Internetaddiction instead of seeking for potential clinical issues.2.As online games become popular, treatment centres have sprung up all over theworld.3.After playing online games continuously for days, several South Korean men wereexhausted to death.4.Smallwood sued NCsoft and claimed a huge compensation for fraud and itsnegligence of warning him of the danger of game addiction.5.In South Korea, a gaming curfew for children was adopted to prevent childrenplaying after midnight.6.Internet addiction still needs to be further studied though the DSM-V did notcategorize it as a “behavioral addiction”.7.An Internet specialist found that most college students could realize when they aregoing too far and restore self-control.8.According to mental-health specialists, for many people, video games, pornographyand messaging via e-mail and social networks can become problematic online behaviors.9.People regard it as a small miracle if nobody takes out a phone to read the messagesat a business lunch.10.Kimberly Young insists that people must learn to deal with new problems broughtabout by the Internet.Part III Listening ComprehensionSection ADirections:In this section, you will hear 8 short conversations and 2 long conversations.

For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. You should decide on the best choice and mark the corresponding letter on Answer Sheet with a single line through the center.Passage OneQuestions 57 to 61 are based on the following passage.So long as teachers fail to distinguish between teaching and learning, they will continue to undertake things for children that children can only do for themselves. Teaching children to read is not passing reading on to them. It is certainly not endless hours spent in activities about reading. Douglas insists that “reading cannot be taught directly and schools should stop trying to do the impossible.”Teaching and learning are two entirely different processes. They differ in kind and function. The function of teaching is to create the conditions and the climate that will make it possible for children to devise the most efficient system for teaching themselves to read. Teaching is also a public activity: It can be seen and observed.Learning to read involves all that each individual does to make sense of the world of printed language. Almost all of it is private, for learning is an occupation of the mind, and that process is not open to public scrutiny.If teacher and learner roles are not interchangeable, what then can be done through teaching that will aid the child in the quest (探索) for knowledge? Smith has one principal rule for all teaching instructions. “Make learning to read easy, which means making reading a meaningful, enjoyable and frequent experience for children.”When the roles of teacher and learner are seen for what they are, and when both teacher and learner fulfill them appropriately, then much of the pressure and feeling of failure for both is eliminated. Learning to read is made easier when teachers create an environment where children are given the opportunity to solve the problem of learning to read by reading.57. The problem with the reading course as mentioned in the first paragraph is that ________.A. it is one of the most difficult school coursesB. students spend endless hours in readingC. reading tasks are assigned with little guidanceD. too much time is spent in teaching about reading58. The teaching of reading will be successful if ________.A. teachers can improve conditions at school for the studentsB. teachers can enable students to develop their own way of readingC. teachers can devise the most efficient system for readingD. teachers can make their teaching activities observable59. The word “scrutiny” (Line 3, Para. 3) most probably means “________”.A. inquiryB. observationC. controlD. suspicion60. According to the passage, learning to read will no longer be a difficult task when ________.A. children become highly motivatedB. teacher and learner roles are interchangeableC. teaching helps children in the search for knowledgeD. reading enriches children’s experience61. The main idea of the passage is that ________.A. teachers should do as little as possible in helping students learn to readB. teachers should encourage students to read as widely as possibleC. reading ability is something acquired rather than taughtD. reading is more complicated than generally believedPassage TwoQuestions 62 to 66 are based on the following passage.The failed Skylab will come screaming home to earth in disappointment sometime next month. But it willfall we know not where.That precise information is beyond even the calculations of scientists and their computers.The best they can tell us is that the space station, weighing 77 tons and as high as a 12 story building, will break into hundreds of pieces that will be scattered across a track 100 miles wide and 4,000 miles long.We are again exposed to one of those unexpected adventures, or misadventures, of science that attracts our attention from the boring routines of daily existence and encourages us to think a lot about man’s future.What worries Richard Smith, the Skylab’s director, is the “big pieces” that will come through the atmosphere, Two lumps, weighing 2 tons each, and ten, weighing at least 1,000 pounds each, will come in at speeds of hundreds of miles an hour and if they crash on land they will dig holes up to 100 feet deep.What worries us, with our lack of scientific knowledge and our quick imagination, is both the big and little pieces, although project officials say there is a very small chance that anyone will be injured by them.That’s good to know, but it doesn’t remove the doubts of the millions who still remember the nuclear accident at Three Mile Island. That accident took place in 1979 in spite of what the officials had assured us as to the safety of the nuclear reactor.62. Where the Skylab will fall ________.A. is kept secretB. has been made publicC. has been predicted by scientistsD. can’t be predicted even by computers63. According to the passage, what does an incident such as the failed Skylab lead us to do?A. Not to believe in officials.B. To think about our future.C. To trust computers more.D. To fear for our lives.64. The author suggests that ________.A. the danger of the Skylab’s fall has been overestimatedB. it’s useless to worry over things you can’t do anything aboutC. the danger of the Skylab’s fall has been underestimatedD. computers can solve the problem caused by the broken Skylab65. The author refers to Three Mile Island ________.A. because he is doubtful about what the officials saidB. because he fears that a piece of the Skylab may strike a nuclear power plantC. because he is afraid of the use of nuclear powerD. because the nuclear reactor there and the Skylab were both built by the same company66. This passage is mainly about the author’s ________.A. interest in the failure of the SkylabB. willingness to give his adviceC. eagerness to see more new scientific discoveriesD. concern that science cannot answer all questionsSection C Blank FillingDirections:In this section, there are ten sentences with ten blanks. You are required to select one word for each blank from a list of choices given in a word bank following the sentences. Each choice in the bank is identified by a letter. Mark the corresponding letter for each item on Answer Sheet with a single line through the center. You may not use any of the words in the bank more than once.67. We all condemn the inhuman ________ crimes against children.68. They often deny this point, and ________they deny one aspect of the truth.69. He succeeded in raising ginseng ________ through unremitting efforts.70. It occurred to me that he was trying to ________ something.71. A modest man will never ________ of his merits.72.

Each passage isfollowed by some questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A), B), C) andD). You should decide on the best choice and mark the corresponding letter on theAnswer Sheet with a single line through the center.Passage 1Questions 31 to 35 are based on the following passage:People landing at London’s Heathrow airport have something new to look at as they fly over Britain’s capital c ity. It is attractive, simple and a little strange. The Millennium Dome (千禧穹顶)is a huge semi-circle of plastic and steel and it contains the largest public space in the world. It has been built to house an exhibition of all that is best in British life, learning and leisure.The Millennium Dome was designed by Sir Richard Rogers, one of Britain’s most famous architects. His work points the way to new developments in building. Think of it as a giant symbol of the buildings in which we will all be living and working in the near future.Buildings are also a part of history. They express the culture of the times. Sir Richard Rogers is aware of this responsibility. While different designers have individual styles, their work also has a common style. That is: to express the values of the information age.What is an “information age” building? The Dome is a good example. After the Millennium exhibition ends, it will be used for another purpose. Just as people no longer have “jobs for life”, modern buildings are des igned for a number of different uses.Another Richard Roger’s building, the Pompidou Center inFrance, uses the idea that information is communication. Instead of being hidden in the walls, heating pipes and elevators are open to public view. The Pompidou Center is a very honest building. It tells you how it works.31. The Millennium Dome has been originally built to hold an exhibition _______ .A)of different building designsB)of everything that can draw the attention of peopleC)of the finest things in BritainD)of recent developments in information technology32. The sentence “His work points the way to new developments in building” (Line 2, Para 2) implies that the designer Sir Richard Rogers ________ .A)has developed a new set of building standardsB)strictly follows the tradition in his workC)is a pioneer architect of his ageD)is quite different from other architects33. Sir Richard Rogers clearly knows that it is his duty to ________ .A)create something out of a unique styleB)house those who will often change their jobsC)make his buildings historic onesD)construct a building that can express the culture of the modern age34. The Pompidou Center in France is outstanding in the fact that ________ .A)people in it are able to visit each other convenientlyB)visitors can see clearly the structure and facilities of the whole buildingC)it makes use of the best techniques invented in theinformation ageD)it was designed and built by an honest British designer35. The passage mainly tells us about ________ .A)the unique contribution of a famous architectB) a few developments in house-buildingC)the common features of British and French buildingsD)modern buildings of various stylesPassage 2Questions 36 to 40 are based on the following passage:The Library of Congress is Americ a’s national library. It has millions of books and other objects. It has newspapers, popular publications and letters of historical interest. It also has maps, photographs, art prints, movies, sound recordings and musical instruments. Altogether, it has more than one-hundred-million objects.The Library of Congress is open to the public Monday through Saturday, except for government holidays. Anyone may go there and read anything in the collection. But no one is permitted to take books out of the building.The Library of Congress was established in 1800. It started with eleven boxes of books in one room of the Capitol building. By 1814, the collection had increased to about three-thousand books. They were all destroyed that year when the Capitol was burn ed during America’s war with Britain. To help re-build the library, Congress bought the books of President Thomas Jefferson. Mister Jefferson’s collection included seven-thousand books in seven languages. In 1897, the Library moved into its own building, across the street from the Capitol. Today, three buildings hold the library’s collection.The Library of Congress provides books and materials to theUnited States Congress. It also lends books to other American libraries, government agencies and foreign libraries. It buys some of its books and gets others as gifts. It also gets materials through its copyright office. Anyone who wants copyright protection for a publication in the United States must send two copies to the library. This means the Library of Congress receives almost everything that is published in the United States.36. According to the passage, what was the Library of Congress in the very beginning?A) A private library.B) A reading room in the Capitol building.C) A school library.D) A library with three buildings to hold its collection.37.

Which of the following is the best title for the passage?A) The History of the Library of Congress.B) The Function of the Library of Congress.C) An Introduction to the Library of Congress.D) The Significance of the Library of Congress.Passage 3Questions 41 to 45 are based on the following passage:We’ve all faced failure in our lives. No one goes through life unharmed. We can only hope that our failures will be mixed with our successes, and we will have had a life well lived.Still, while there are no guarantees that you never fail, there are ways in which you can turn the odds (机会) more in your favor. Specifically, success is most closely related to your reaction to your unavoidable failures. This is true not only for you personally, but also in your role as a business manager and leader.When an organization is trying something new, mistakes are unavoidable. It is up to the leader to create an environment where peopl e aren’t afraid to fail. Mistakes should be seen as a necessary part of the organizational process. Errors are simply a normal by-product of pursuing excellence.Obviously, some mistakes are easier to tolerate (容忍) than others. Action should be taken when an error is made, but, usually, it should be corrective action rather than blame. Mistakes present a unique opportunity to teach and develop your staff. Growth and success can’t come without risk taking, and progress doesn’t happen with out mistakes.As a leader, one of the ways I’ve approached errors is by judging whether the action taken was a “mistake of the heart” or a “mistake of the head”. A mistake of the heart is a situationwhere such an employee does something wrong on purpose and tries to get away with it. I tend to be very serious in such situations. A mistake of the head happens when an employee is working hard to do the right thing, but for some reason, it doesn’t turn out that way. I tend do be very lenient (宽容的) on these types of mistakes. In fact, I have even praised people for making a mistake because their intentions were so good.The goal for a leader isn’t to avoid all possible failures. It’s to avoid errors that can be easily predicted, as well as risks that aren’t wor th the possible costs. Good leaders are willing to take risks to improve their operations. If you never try anything new, you can’t possibly hope to improve. This is true for individuals, and it’s true for organizations.41. The passage is chiefly intended to give advice to ________ .A) business leaders B) the average manC) employees D) losers42. What is the author’s overall attitude toward failures?A)Failures naturally lead to successes.B)We can often predict failures and avoid them.C)We should try our best to avoid failures because they are very harmful.D)Failures may be unavoidable, but we can learn to benefit from them.43. According to the passage, it is essential that an organization leader should ________ .A)be strict with any mistakesB)put up with any mistakesC)pay no attention to the employee’s mistakesD)take a corrective attitude towards mistakes44. The phrase “get away with” (Line 3, Para 5) couldprobably mean “________”.A) get rid of B) do without being punishedC) correct D) stick to45. The author illustrates his viewpoint by ________ .A)introducing his own experienceB)giving examples which are set by other peopleC)pointing out the harm of mistakesD)making a comparison between successes and failuresSection BDirections: In this section, there is a passage with ten blanks. You are required to select one word for each blank from a list of choices given in a word bank following the passage.Read the passage through carefully before making your choices. Each choice in thebank is identified by a letter. Please mark the corresponding letter for each item onthe Answer Sheet with a single line through the centre. You may not use any of thewords in the bank more than once.Today, when most people go to various stores, they carry their purchases home in plastic shopping bags. While such bags 46 common today, before much longer, plastic bags might be no more.Plastic was first introduced in the 1860s. While it quickly gained 47 in the manufacture of many items, companies did not begin using plastic to produce shopping bags 48 the 1970s. These first bags were manufactured from polyethylene (聚乙烯), a type of plastic made from oil and natural gas. In the United States of America, plastic shopping bags became 49 used in 1982, when Kroger and Safeway grocery stores began to offer theircustomers plastic bags instead of 50 ones.Since 1982, plastic bags have been the bags of 51 among consumers. However, in recent years, many people have increasingly 52 to the use of plastic bags. The use of oil and natural gas to manufacture the bags reduces the 53 supplies of these raw materials. Polyethylene plastic bags also are usually only used once and then 54 of in the trash (垃圾). These bags take generations to begin to decompose (分解) and 55 harmful chemicals in the process. Plastic bags can also be harmful to children and wildlife.Part III Integrated Testing (15 marks, 20 minutes)Section ADirections: There are 20 blanks in the following passage.

Reading Comprehension (40)Passage OneFor years it has been possible to set up cameras to take pictures of cars as they speed along highways, jump lights or drive too fast down the street.However, even if the pictures are taken automatically (自动地), someone still has to do all the paperwork of sending out fines. But now a British company called EEV has come up with a computerized video system that can do it all automatically.They suggest that all number plates (车牌) have a bar code as well as the usual number. The bar codes are just stripes of lines like those you see on food packets but bigger. EEV?s high speedvideo camera system can read a bar-coded number plate even if the car is doing over 100 miles per hour. The computer controlling the system could then use the information from the bar code to find out the name and address of the driver (from the car records), print out the fine and send it off automatically. The inventors also suggest that the system should watch traffic to help catch stolen cars.The new electronic system could be watching everyone that passes the cameras! Many people find the i dea that “big brother is watching you”is more of a worry than a few motorists getting away with driving too fast. Besides, some people will be very unhappy to realize that with the new system the police should find out where a particular car has been.1. The best title for the article can be _____.A. people who drive too FastB. stop people from driving too fastC. EEV and the police systemD. a new computerized system for motoring breaking laws2.

An additional purpose of the new system is that it could _____.A. help catch stolen carsB. add code numbersC. watch everyone who drives too fastD. print out bar codes automatically5. “Big brother is watching you is more of a worry than” means that many people _____.A. are more worried about fast-driving motorists than being watched onB. find “big brothers” more worryingthan motorists C. are more worried about being watched on than about fast-driving motorists D. find motorists more worried than “big brothers”Passage TwoPeter Fern was mad on mountain.

I?d never known him to take much interest in girls. Well, well, Peter Fern a married man! I couldn?t get over it.I wondered whether his wife would try to stop some of his risky adventures.She was French perhaps from that place where he usually spent his holidays. Chamonix, wasn?t it?From Chamonix he?s climbed Mont Blanc on his seventeenth birthday, and one of the Aifuilles the day after! That was it, then: She was French, from a family, most of whom like climbing. No doubt. No other explanation.A month later I met them both in town. Anna surprised mebe cause she was English. She was a dancer in the theatre. “Neve r climbed more than sixty steps in my life.” She told me. “Peter has 11im interests, and I?ve got mine. No problems.” “No problems.”“None at all,”Peter said, smiling. “Where did you spend your honeymoon?”“I flew to New York to see the drake Dancers on Broadway. A wond erful show!” Peter said, “Didn?t want to miss the good weather. So I went to Switzerland and climbed the north face of the Eiger with Allen Dunlop. Great fun, the Eiger.

But Hagner also has to take the two boys to soccer or hockey or basketball while dropping off her daughter at piano lessons or Girl Scout Club.Often the exhausted family doesn?t get home until 7 p.m. There is just time for a quick supper before homework.In today?s world,middle-class American and British parents treat their children as if they are competitors racing for some finishing line.Parents take their children from activity to activity in order to make their future bright. It seems that raising a genius has become a more important goal than raising a happy and well-balanced child.“Doctors across the country are rep orting a growing num ber of children suffering from stomach-aches and headaches due to exhaustion and stress,” says child expert William Daherty of the U niversity of Minnesota.Teachers are dealing with exhausted kids in the classroom. It?s a very serious problem. Many children attend after-school clubs by necessity. But competitive pressures also create an explosion of activities. They include sports, language, music and math classes for children as young as four.“There is a new parenting trend (趋势) under way which says that you have to tap all your child?s potential (潜能) at a young age; otherwise you will let him down,” says Terry Apter, a Cambridge based child and adolescent psychiatrist (精神病学家).“It isn?t entirely new: There have always been pushy pare nts. But what was previously seen as strange behavior is now well accepted.”11. From the second paragraph of this passage we can find that _____.A. Hag ner spends much time helping her children?s lessonsB. Hagner doesn't spend much time on her full-time jobC. Hagner is interested in sports and musicD.

Even some of the country and western music of the United States is in the blues form.A major step in the development of jazz was taken by musicians in New Orleans. New Orleans jazz, sometimes called dixieland（半即兴式爵士乐），had the deep emotion of the blues and the Black spiritual as well as elements of ragtime and European folk music.26.

New England Passage Two （难）Prominent among American artists are those numerous painters who seem truly indigenous（土生土长的），whose manner and subject matter seem to emanate （散发）from some special vitality of the new land. This is particularly the case with those early practitioners of various skills who were self-taught as painters, and who painted tavern signs, houses and wagons, as well as filling portrait commissions on the side.Some of these can now be identified only as “Anonymous”, and one is the unknown painter of the oldest work in the show, the portrait of the child of Robert Gibbs, who became a wealthy Boston merchant. The artist is presumed to have been an immigrant provincial English house painter, who did his subjectin an elaborate dress, such as were worn by little boys of that time, holding a pair of gloves and standing on a floor of square tiles.31. If the author of this passage had written another paragraph, which of the following would have been his most logical choice for a topic?A. Other examples of anonymous work不署名作品的另一个范例B.

They are especially afraid of large, hairy ones. The largest and most frightening of all spiders is the bird-eating spider, which lives in the hot, thick rain forests of northern South America.Bird-eating spiders are a type of tarantula（狼蛛）. They are very hairy. Some of these giant spiders can spread eighteen centimeters (seven inches) with their legs. Tarantulas are not, as most people think, poisonous（有毒的）spiders. They can bite, and the bite is painful, but it will not kill a grown-up. The poisonous bite of a black widow spider is far more dangerous.Bird-eating spiders often hide in holes and under rocks during the day, but at night they creep out and hunt for insects. As you might guess from their mane, they also catch birds and eat them.They have another unusual ability. They can walk up windowpanes（窗玻璃）because of sticky, silky hairs on their feet that cling to glass.36. The bird-eating spider can be described asA. a very hairy spider.B. a very frightening spider.C. the largest of spiders.D. All of the above37. This spider lives where the climate isA.
