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 with a single line through the centre.Passage OneQuestions 21 to 25 are based on the following passage:What are some of the differences between love and infatuation? Genuine love is more likely to involve a process of “growing” in love rather than “falling” in love. This may sound terribly romantic to some who are used to hearing talk about “falling in love” or being “head over heels in love”. This “falling” is often “infatuation”, and the sheer emotion of “falling” in love often blinds a person to the imperfections of the loved one. We tend to think of the loved one as “perfect,”“ideal,” or some other diving image. Real love sees the total person both the perfection and the imperfection. Infatuation, then is a sudden emotional sense that one has discovered in the “perfect” lover. On the other hand, love realizes imperfections and grows with the acceptance of those imperfections.Love leads a person to a feeling of security and trust in the loved one. It usually involves a feeling of mutual benefit arising from the new relationship. “We are able to solve our problems together” is the feeling of love, rather than “Please love me because I need you.”任课教师：王蓓等系主任签字：2007级本科大学英语第三学期期末考试试卷共14页第3页Infatuation often entails feelings of insecurity wherever the “lovers” are separated; feelings of doubt, uncertainty, and fear of loss often accompany infatuation. “What will I do if I lose him?” and “ I wonder if she really means it when she says she loves me?” express the feelings of infatuation. In such a setting, a lasting love does not have a chance to develop.Infatuation tends to be more manipulative than love because a lasting feeling of relationship probably had not developed, so that the individuals are still concerned mainly about their own needs and satisfactions. Conversely, in love, the feeling of relationship is genuine and sincere so that concern for the other person evolves naturally.Physical attraction is an important part of both infatuation and love, but the superficial attraction is less important in love, for the couple experiencing love usually will build their relationship on a broader basis than mere physical attraction.Although genuine love is an ideal toward which a couple strives, you do not have to be perfect to love. True love involves a measure of self-acceptance and self-respect and a degree of self-sufficiency in order that one may accept, respect, and trust another person, but it does not require unachievable levels of these qualities.21.According to the passage, real love means that _____A) one grows up in loveB) one sees his lover as perfect or idealC) one sees his lover’s merits and shortcomingsD) the lovers fall in love with each other22. According to the passage, love offers people a feeling of security because ____A) the lovers trust in and benefit from each otherB) love is usually concerned with a feeling of mutual benefitC) the lovers realize their own perfections by a feeling of insecurityD) love can overcome the feeling of security23. Which of the following is NOT true?A) Infatuation is usually accompanied by a feeling of insecurity.B) In infatuation, the feeling of relationship is intense and lasting.C) Physical attraction is equally important in love and infatuation.D) In infatuation, the individuals are mainly concerned about their own needs.24. Which of the following is NOT an element of true love?A) Self- acceptance B) Self- respectC) Physical attraction D) Fear of loss25. What is the passage mainly concerned with?A) The differences between love and infatuation.B) The importance of true love.C) The perfection and imperfection of love.D) Genuine love as an ideal.Passage TwoQuestions 26 to 30 are based on the following passage:Public colleges and universities in the U.S., subsidized directly by state government, are capturing an expanding share of enrollment. At the beginning of the century, more than 80% of students were enrolled in private colleges and universities. By the middle of the century, the figure had fallen to about 50%.From the 1960s on, this trend has accelerated. By 1990, the composition had reversed itself from the beginning of the century, with four out of five students enrolled in public universities. During the three decades from 1965 to 1995, the public sector absorbed more than 86% of the higher education enrollment increase.The evidence is strong that the state government policy to create a system of state-run colleges and universities that drastically underprices private institutions of higher education has resulted in a threat to the independent higher education system. This unquestioned march away from private higher education to government control is inefficient and harmful to a civilized society.Private colleges and universities provide an educational experience quite different from state-run institutions. Private colleges are much smaller, with an average enrollment of around 1,500. The average enrollment for public colleges and universities is more than four times greater, approaching 7,000. Of the 120 largest institutions of higher education in terms of enrollment, all but eight are public. Eighty-five percent of colleges that enroll less than 1,000 students are private.Students at private colleges and universities are more likely to interact with faculty and more satisfied with classroom instruction. They complete their degrees at a much higher rate than their counterparts at state-run institutions. Private institutions grant more doctorate and first professional degrees than state institutions, despite their much smaller enrollment.Aside from offering a different type of learning environment, a system of private colleges and universities is much more efficient than a government-run and –planned system. State governments have created a situation where a vast majority of students attend a college for a price that is far below the true cost of providing their education, and the educational service is not controlled very well by those who own the institution.26. According to the passage, which of the following is responsible for the decreasing enrollmentin private colleges and universities?A) Public colleges and universities grant more courses.B) Public colleges and universities are much larger than private colleges and universities.C) The government does not finance private institutions of higher education.D) Public colleges and universities financially supported by state governments charge muchless than private colleges and universities.27. What is the author’s attitude toward the government’s policy to subsidize public universities?任课教师：王蓓等系主任签字：2007级本科大学英语第三学期期末考试试卷共14页第5页A) Positive. B) Indifferent. C) Critical D) Neutral28. How many more students does a public university enroll than a private one on an average?A) 1,500. B) 7,000. C) 6,000. D) 5,500.29. Which of the following is NOT true according to the passage?A) Students and teachers at private universities communicate more often than those at publicones.B) Classroom teaching at private universities is better than at public ones.C) Because of smaller enrollment, private universities offer fewer courses than public ones.D) The tuition of public universities is below the cost of providing their education.30. The passage is mainly organized by _____.A) introducing the decreasing enrollment of private universities and enlisting the advantagesof private universities to criticize the government’s policyB) introducing a phenomenon and analyzing its reasonsC) comparing and contrasting two different conceptsD) presenting a general idea and giving specific examplesPassage ThreeQuestions 31 to 35 are based on the following passage:It is estimated that nine out of ten smokers would like to give up their habit if there were an easy way, and that more than 30 million Americans have tried to do so at least once. Until now, they’ve had little help from the medical profession, even though more U.S. doctors have stopped smoking than has any other group, and their organizations have condemned the practice.Doctors could have a powerful influence on their patients who smoke if they took the trouble to give brief advice and help on a routine basis, says Dr. Michael A.H. Russell, head of the addiction research unit of London’s Maudsley Hospital, and a leading authority on nicotine addiction. In an experiment, Russell showed that when doctors took just a minute or two to talk to their patients about their smoking habit and gave them a leaflet to read, the doctors could persuade 4.1 percent to give up cigarettes. Those patients who were also given nicotine did more than twice as well.If this experience holds true here, doctors might help nearly 5 million American smokers kick their habit each year. Since, according to the Royal College of Physicians, “between 2.5 and 4 out of every 10 are smoking,”this might save the lives of as many as 2 million American smokers.Of course, not all patients are candidates for nicotine gum. It is not recommended for some heart patients, some peptic-ulcer(胃溃疡) sufferers or women who are or may become pregnant.A doctor should decide whether to give it to a nursing mother, since nicotine will enter her milk. It has not been evaluated in children or adolescents who smoke.The FDA advises patients not to use Nicorette for more than three months. Actually, anumber of experiments show that the gum is most effective if used for 16 weeks. People who stop smoking with the gum and then stop the gum too soon are more likely to relapse(旧病复发) .31. According to the passage, most smokers would not quit smoking because _____.A) they found it difficult to quit smokingB) they got no help from the hospitalC) their organizations condemn their quitting smokingD) there were no organizations that would help them32. According to Dr. Michael A.H. Russell, ______ could help the smokers quit.A) relatives B) organizations for quitting smokingC) doctors D) drugs33. Which of the following are advised to use nicotine gum?A) Heart patients. B) Nursing mothers.C) Pregnant women. D) Healthy smokers.34. Which of the following is the FDA’s advice to patients?A) Not to use Nicorette for more than twelve weeks.B) No more than 30 pieces should be chewed in one day.C) To quit smoking graduallyD) to cut down on smoking entirely35. What’s the author’s purpose to write this article?A) To entertain B) To persuadeC) To inform D) To arguePassage FourQuestions 36 to 40 are based on the following passage:The word “recreation”brings to mind activities that are relaxing and enjoyable. Such activities as an evening talk around the neighborhood, a Sunday picnic with the family, and playing catch in the yard with the children seem relatively spontaneous and relaxing.Much American recreational activities, however, seems to foreign visitors to be approached with a high degree of seriousness, planning, organization, and expense. Spontaneity and the fund are absent, as far as the visitors can tell. “These crazy Americans!” a south American exclaimed on seeing yet another jogger go past her house in sub-freezing winter weather. Many Americans jog every day, or play tennis, handball, racquetball, or bridge two three times a week, or bowl every Thursday night, or have some other regularly scheduled recreation. They go on vacations, ski trips, and hunting or fishing expeditions that require weeks of planning and organizing. In the Americans’view, all these activities are generally funny and relaxing, or are worth the discomfort they may cause because they contribute to health and physical fitness.任课教师：王蓓等系主任签字：2007级本科大学英语第三学期期末考试试卷共14页第7页Much American recreation is highly organized. There are classes, clubs, leagues, newsletters, contests, exhibitions and conventions centered on hundreds of different recreational activities. People interested in astronomy, bird watching, cooking, dancing, ecology, fencing, gardening, and hiking – and on and on – can find a group of like-minded people with whom to meet, learn, and practice or perform.In American recreation is a big business. Many common recreational activities require supplies and equipment that can be quite costly. Recreational vehicles (used for travelling and usually including provisions for sleeping, cooking, and bathing) can cost as much as 35,000 dollars. In 1984 Americans owned approximately 3,982,000 recreational vehicles, valued at about 7,733 million dollars. Jogging shoes, hiking boots, fishing and camping supplies, cameras, telescopes, gourmet cookware, and bowling ball are not low cost items. Beyond equipment, there is clothing. The fashion industry has successfully persuaded many Americans that they must be properly dressed for jogging, playing tennis, skiing, swimming, and so on. Fashionable outfits for these and other recreational activities can be surprisingly expensive.36. According to the passage, what’s Americans’ attitude towards recreation?A) Absent-minded B) Serious C) Critical D) Skeptical37. How often do Americans bowl?A) Every day B) Twice a week.C) Three times a week. D) Once a week.38. Americans take to skiing and hunting in spite of discomfort because _______A) they are highly organized B) they are adventurous and exciting activitiesC) they are instructive and funny D) they are beneficial to their health39. All of the following are true of American recreation EXCEPT _______.A) Americans spend a lot of money on recreational vehicles and outfitsB) Most Americans approach recreation with a high degree of spontaneityC) Americans play bridge at least eight times a monthD) Americans take to recreational activities not only for fun but also for physical fitness40. It can be inferred from the passage that _____.A) foreign visitors are interested in the way Americans approach recreationB) foreign visitors are quite surprised about the way Americans approach recreationC) foreign visitors are crazy about the way Americans approach recreationD) Americans take to recreation because they can make a profit from itPassage FiveQuestions 41 to 45 are based on the following passage:A is for always getting to work on time.B is for being extremely busy.C is for the conscientious ( 勤勤恳恳的) way you do your job.You may be all these things at the office, and more. But when it comes to getting ahead,experts say, the ABCs of business should include a P, for politics, as in office politics.Dale Carnegie suggested as much more than 50 years ago: Hard work alone doesn't ensure career advancement. You have to be able to sell yourself and your ideas, both publicly and behind the scenes. Yet, despite the obvious rewards of engaging in office politics—a better job, a raise, praise—many people are still unable—or unwilling—to "play the game.""People assume that office politics involves some manipulative (工于心计的) behavior," says Deborah Comer, an assistant professor of management at Hofstra University. "But politics derives from the word 'polite'. It can mean lobbying and forming associations. It can mean being kind and helpful, or even trying to please your superior, and then expecting something in return."In fact, today, experts define office politics as proper behavior used to pursue one's own self-interest in the workplace. In many cases, this involves some form of socializing within the office environment—not just in large companies, but in small workplaces as well."The first thing people are usually judged on is their ability to perform well on a consistent basis," says Neil P. Lewis, a management psychologist. "But if two or three candidates are up for a promotion, each of whom has reasonably similar ability, a manager is going to promote the person he or she likes best. It's simple human nature."Yet, psychologists say, many employees and employers have trouble with the concept of politics in the office. Some people, they say, have an idealistic vision of work and what it takes to succeed. Still others associate politics with flattery(奉承), fearful that, if they speak up for themselves, they may appear to be flattering their boss for favors.Experts suggest altering this negative picture by recognizing the need for some self-promotion.41. "Office politics" (Line 2, Para. 4) is used in the passage to refer to ._____.A) the code of behavior for company staffB) the political views and beliefs of office workersC) the interpersonal relationships within a companyD) the various qualities required for a successful career42. To get promoted, one must not only be competent but .____.A) give his boss a good impressionB) honest and loyal to his companyC) get along well with his colleaguesD) avoid being too outstanding43. Why are many people unwilling to "play the game" (Line 4, Para. 5)?A) They believe that doing so is impractical.B) They feel that such behavior is unprincipled.C) They are not good at manipulating colleagues.D) They think the effort will get them nowhere.44. The author considers office politics to be .______任课教师：王蓓等系主任签字：2007级本科大学英语第三学期期末考试试卷共14页第9页A) unwelcome at the workplaceB) bad for interpersonal relationshipsC) indispensable to the development of company cultureD) an important factor for personal advancement45. It is the author's view that______.A) speaking up for oneself is part of human natureB) self-promotion does not necessarily mean flatteryC) hard work contributes very little to one's promotionD) many employees fail to recognize the need of flatteryPart III Vocabulary (共25小题；每小题1分，满分25分)Directions: There are 25 incomplete sentences in this part.

Americans aren’t of course the only people in the world who take __71__ that their cultural standards are generally admired – monoculturalism is typical of every society in the world. But it isn’t __72__ that Americans seem to expect – they seem to expect __73__. This phenomenon, which the rest of the world finds both amusing and __74__, may be at least partly __75__ to the American definition of friendliness .To Americans, friendliness means __76__ informal and cheerful and open to other people, even before you know them __77__ to be sure you like them. And it’s important to note that although real friendship may certainly arise __78__ acting friendly in this way, Americans do not mistake acting friendly __79__ being friends.

In the pioneer days, if you acted too reserved and formal, no one __81__ any reason to help you if you got in trouble ( __82__ there was plenty of in the pioneer days).

Section ADirections:In this section, you will hear ten short conversations. At the end of each conversation, a question will be asked about what was said. Each conversation and question will be read only once. After each question there will be a pause. During the pause, you must read the four choices marked A, B, C and D, and decide which is the best answer. Then mark the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet with a single line through the center.Section BDirections:In this section, you will hear 3 short passages. At the end of each passage, you will hear some questions. Both the passage and the questions will be spoken only once. After you hear a question, you must choose the best answer from the four choices marked A) , B) , C) and D). Then mark the corresponding letter on Answer Sheet with a single line through the center.Passage onePassage twoPassage threeDirections: There are three passages for this task. The passages are followed by some questions. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C, and D. You should decide on the best answer and mark the corresponding letter on the answer sheet with a single line through the center.Passage OneQuestions 21 to 25 are based on the following passage:Several commentators and scientists have suggested that it might in some cases be ethically acceptable to clone existing people. One possibility is generating a replacement for a dying relative. All such possibilities, however, raise the concern that the clone would be treated as less than a complete inddividual, because he or she would likely be subjected to limitation and expectation based on the family’s knowledge of the genetic “twin.” Those expectations might be false, because human personality is only partly determined by genes. The clone of an extrovert(性格外向的人) could have a quite different way of behavior. Clones of athletes, movie stars, entrepreneurs or scientists might well choose different careers because of chance events in early life.Some people have also put forward the notion that couples in which one member is infertile might choose to make a copy of one or the other partner. But society ought to be concerned that a couple might not treat naturally a child who is a copy of just one of them. Because other methods are available for the treatment of all known types of infertility, conventional therapeutic avenues seem more appropriate. None of the suggested uses of cloning for making copies of existing people is ehically acceptable to my way of thinking, because they are not in the interests of the resulting child. It should go without saying that I am strongly opposed to allowing cloned human embryos to develop so that they can be tissue donors.It nonetheless seems clear that cloning from cultured cells will offer important medical opportunities. Predictions about new technologies are often wrong: societal attitudes change; unexpected developments occur. Time will tell. But biomedical researchers looking into the potential of cloning now have plenty to do.21. What is the author’s concern about cloing an existing person?A. The clone created will have one defect or another.B. The clone created will be mistreated.C. The clone created is unlikely to fulfill your expectations.D. The clone created is ethically unacceptable.22. It can be inferred from the text that a clone will _____.A. choose the same career as the person it is created fromB. behave in the same way as the person it is created fromC. share the same characteristics with the person it is created fromD. be partially similar in personality to the person it is created from23. According to the passage, one’s personality is determined by______.A. their genesB. the environment they live inC. both their genes and the environment they live inD. neither their genes nor the environment they live in.24. In the author’s view, which of the following uses of cloning is justifiable?A. To replace a lost relative.B. To help childrenless couples to have a baby.C. To develop tissue donors.D. To culture cells for medical purposes.25. What is autor’s attitude towards cloning technology?A. It should be condemned.B.It has medical potential for scientists to explore.C. It should wait till people’s views change.D. It was unethical from the very beginning.Passage 2Questions 26 to 30 are based on the following passage:The interview is an important event in the job-hunting process, because the 20 or 30 minutes you spend with the interviewer may determine whether or not you get the particular job you want. Therefore, it is important to remember that you objective during the interview may differ from the objective of the potential employer. You want to make yourself stand out as a whole person who has personal strength, is well qualified, and should be considered the right person for the job. It is encouraging to know that the interviewer’s task is not to embarrass you or to trip you up, but to hire the right person for the job.Remember, job hunting is very competitive. Anything you can do to enhance your interciew techniques will be to your advantage. The following suggestions may help you land the most important job.Your goal in this interview is to make sure your good points get across. The interviewer won’t know them unless you point them out, so try to do this in a factual and sincere manner.Do not make slighting references to former employers or professors. If you have been fired from a job and the interviewer asks about it, be frank in you answer.Show the inerviewer that you are interested in the company by asking relevant questions. Ask about responsibilities, working conditions, promotion opportunities and fringe benefits(附加福利) of the job you are interviewing for.If at some point you decide the interview is not going well, do not let your discouragement show. You have nothing to lose by continuing a show of confidence, and you may have much to gain. It may be real, or it may be a test to see how you react to adverse conditions.Some interviers may bring up salary early in the interview. At this time, you may indicate thatyou are more interested in a job where ou can prove yourself than a specific salary. This politely passes the question back to the interviewer. If the interviewer continues to press, give him a range or suggest the going rate for a particular job. If possible, you should negotiate for salary for salary after you have been offered a job and when you are ready to complete the paperwork.26. To get the job you want, during the interview you should .A. avoid the interviewer’s questions that are designed to trip you upB. remember that you are the best qualified candidateC. make yourself stand out as the right person for the jobD. keep in mind that it determines whether or not you get the particular job you want.27. If you did not ger along with your former employee, you .A. should tell the interviewer frankllyB. should not speak ill of himC. should refer to him in a factual mannerD. should never mention it28. When you find the interview is not going well you should ______.A. keep up your comfidenceB. bring it to an end as soon as possibleC. tell your interviewer how you react to adverse conditionsD. tell yourself you have much to gain and nothing to lose29. The best time to discuss your salary is .A. when you have been offered the jobB. at the end of the interviewC. after you have completed the paperworkD. when the interviewer brings this matter up30.The most important thing to do during an interview is .A. to make your strength understoodB. to show your intense interest in the job you are applying forC. to be frank and sincereD. to be natural and confidentPassage 3Questions 31 to 35 are based on the following passage:In traditional education, the teacher may feel that the students are not very grown up. Usually, teacher are older than students, and teachers feel that students are young and do not know very much about the world. The teachers feel that they must tell the students what to do most of the time, and that they must make the students study specific things. In open education, the teacher’s feelings are very different. These teachers feel that the students are individuals first, and students second. They expect the students to be responsible for the things that they do. The teacher allows the students to decide what they want to do, and does not make them study specific subjects ofthings. The teacher lets them decide what to study and how much to study.The second part of the idea of open education has something to do with what the teacher does in the classroom. In the traditional classroom, the students are told what to do. There is a list of things that the students must do to finish the class. There are rules made by the teacher that the students must follow, even if the students see no reason for the rules. In open education, the teacher allows the students to choose what to do. There are no specific things for the students to do. There are no traditional rules made by the teacher. The students are allowed to discover subjects in the open classroom instead of being made to study them.There are some very good things about open education. This way of teaching allows the students to grow as people. And to develop their own interests in many subjects. Open education allows students to be responsible for their own education. Some students do badly in a traditional classroom. The open classroom may allow them to enjoy learning. Some students will be happier in an open education school. They will not have to worry about grades or rules.But many students will not do well in an open classroom. They will not make good use of open education. Because open education is so different from traditional education, these students may have a problem getting used to making so many choices. For many students it is important to have some rules in the classroom. They worry about the rules even when there are no rules. Even a few rules will help this kind of students.So for some of the good points and bad points of open education have been explained. The writer thinks that open education is a good idea, but only in theory. What do you think?31. One of the good points of open education is that .A. students may grow as peopleB. students all like itC. all the students will do wellD. some students have a problem getting used it32. Some students dislike open education because .A. they may have a problem greeting used itB. they are grown-upsC. they may study, or talk or do nothing at allD. they worry about the rules33. The writer thinks that open education is .A. better than traditional educationB. worse than traditional educationC. a good idea only in practiceD. a good idea only in theory34. The students are supposed to in open education.A. study specific thingsB. follow the rulesC. worry about gradesD. decide what to study35. In traditional education, the teacher may feel thatA. the students are not very grown-upB. the students don’t know very much about the worldC. they must make the students study specific thingsD. All of above.Part III Vocabulary (15%)Directions:There are 30 incomplete sentences in this part. For each sentence there are four choices marked A), B), C) and D).

2007年度考试试题-MPA英语写作参考范例5篇

2007年度考试试题-MPA英语写作参考范例三文章发布：华夏学习网发布时间：[2006-12-28]Some people work to live. For them the only reason for working is that they need money to keep themselves alive, to pay for their shelter, and to support their family.However, there are also people who live to work. They work for the sake of success, position and control in society. For them, work is a way of life, a mental challenge, or an emotional involvement. Take some women for instance, they go out to work because it gives them a sense of independence away from the family.As for me, to work is a fundamental human need and a means to an end. However, I work not just for money, because I also see it as a badge of fulfillment.2007年度考试试题-MPA英语写作参考范例五文章发布：华夏学习网发布时间：[2006-12-28]Family EducationThere is a growing tendency these days for more and more college students to take part-time jobs. Family education is one of most popular par-time jobs. Family education has some advantages. On one hand, Family education can let you earn some extra money and help you become more independent of your family. One the other hand, family education can offer you chances to contact with the society and the experience that you gain through family education can broaden your school life.However there are also some disadvantages in taking family education. For example, we may lose time needed for sleep, rest, study and recreation. Taking family education may interfere withour study and give us little or no useful experience. As a result, we may find it hard to adjust to what the college expects of him.As far as I am concerned, I think college students can take family education. But we have to strike a balance between school and the job. As a student, acquiring more knowledge is our first important task. Although family education can enrich our world of good, we should not spend too much time on it.2007年度考试试题-MPA英语写作参考范例二Today in China, with people’s living standard greatly enhanced, fatness has become a headache for more and more people.Gaining too much weight does harm to our health. To fight against fat, many people turn to the numerous types of medicine, which all claim to have special effects, but do not actually lead to permanent weight loss. Others would choose to be on diet but only to find them forever hungry and have greater appetite. Still others would go to fatness center, making it a fashionable way of modern life.Personally, I think inactivity is an important contributor to fatness and therefore exercise is the only healthy way to reduce appetite, taking off weight and keeping it off.2007年度考试试题-MPA英语写作参考范例四POSITIVE AND NEGATIVE ASPECTS OF SPORTS".Sports benefit us in many respects. When taking part in sports, we get the chance to train almost all parts of our bodies. There is no doubt that proper sports activities keep our physical fitness. Furthermore, sports can enrich our life and maintain our psychological health. Through participation, everyone can learn that on the playground he not onlystruggles for himself but also fights for his team. Sports teach us about consideration, cooperation and optimism to failure.But sports can do some harm to those who cannot plan their activities properly. Too hard training may hurt their bodies, exhaust their vigor, and even cause them to become sick.In general, I love sports. I enjoy sports. For sports not only help me to live awell-balanced life, but also provide me with opportunities to get closer to nature. Sports add happiness to my everyday life when I perform in a decent way.2007年度考试试题-MPA英语写作参考范例六Private CarsWith the development of China’s economy, private c ars become more and more popular in China. Private cars have been playing a vital part in our daily activities. On one hand, private cars provide the most convenient form of transportation. With a car, we can get around freely, without spending a lot of time. On the other hand, the automobile industry provides jobs for countless workers strong support for other industries. In our world, private cars are indispensable.But with the increase of the number of private cars in China, they have given rise to a series of problems. They are responsible for a large proportion of air pollution, causing a lot of disease to man, animals and plants. Traffic accidents kill thousands of people every year and disable many more. Traffic jams on busy roads delay us painfully every day. The consequences of all these are becoming even more serious.Obviously, private cars, like anything else, have more than one face. As far as I am concerned, I think we should find ways to reduce these disadvantages so as to solve the problems of heavy traffic and air pollution. Only in this way, can our life become more exciting and comfortable.。

2007年专四作文真题及范文

2007年专四作文真题及范文英文回答：In an increasingly interconnected world, the significance of language transcends mere communication. As a gateway to diverse cultures and perspectives, language empowers individuals to navigate societal landscapes and forge meaningful connections across geographical and linguistic boundaries.The study of foreign languages has been recognized as a powerful catalyst for cognitive development, enhancing critical thinking, problem-solving, and memory recall. By engaging with foreign languages, learners develop an enhanced understanding of their own native language and gain a deeper appreciation for the richness and diversity of human expression.Moreover, the ability to communicate in multiple languages has profound implications for career advancement.In today's competitive global marketplace, professionals who possess foreign language skills are highly sought after by multinational corporations and organizations operating worldwide. Fluency in a non-native language enables individuals to effectively interact with colleagues, clients, and stakeholders from different cultures, bridging communication barriers and fostering productive collaborations.Beyond the practical benefits, foreign language study fosters cultural understanding and empathy. By immersing themselves in different linguistic worlds, learners gain invaluable insights into the customs, values, and perspectives of other societies. This expanded worldview promotes tolerance, respect, and a greater appreciation for the interconnectedness of humanity.In the realm of education, foreign language instruction has been demonstrated to enhance academic performance in non-language subjects. Studies have shown that students who study foreign languages exhibit improved reading comprehension, vocabulary, and overall cognitive abilities.Additionally, foreign language study has been linked to increased cultural awareness, creativity, and open-mindedness.In conclusion, the study of foreign languages is an invaluable investment in one's intellectual, professional, and personal development. By fostering cognitive growth, expanding career opportunities, promoting cultural understanding, and enhancing academic performance, foreign language education empowers individuals to thrive in a multilingual and intercultural world.中文回答：在日益联系紧密的世界中，语言的重要性超越了简单的交流。

The notice which you have been pleased to take of my labors, had it been early, had been kind; but it has been delayed till I am indifferent, and cannot enjoy it; till I am solitary, and cannot impart it; till I am known, and do not want it. I hope it is no very cynical asperity not to confess obligation where no benefit has been received, or to be unwilling that the public should consider me as owing that to a patron which Providence has enabled me to do for myself.（分数：2.00）__________________________________________________________________________________________ 13.Oh Carrie, Carrie!

It is when the feet weary and hope seems vain that the heartaches and the longings arise. Know, then, that for you is neither surfeit nor content.

We find that the cereb rum,which is resp o nsib le for all active tho ught, is d ivid ed into two parts, o r hemisp heres. The left hemisp here, generally,manages t he right side o f the bod y; it is respo nsib le fo r lo gical th ink in g.The right hemisp here manages the left side o f the bod y; this hemisp here co ntro ls emo tio nal, creative, and artistic functio ns.And we learn that the corp us callo sum（胼胝体）is the “brid ge”that co nnects the two hemisp here.Memo rizing the names for p arts o f the b rain might no t seem thrilling to many students,b ut new d isco veries in b rain functio n are excit ing.Recent research is teaching us a lo t ab o ut creativ ity, memo ry, the d ifferences between men and wo men, and the relatio nship b etween mind and b od y.Left B ra in/Rig ht B ra in: Crea tivityP sycho lo g ists agree that mo st o f us have creative ab ility that is greater than what we use in daily life. In o ther words, we can b e more creative than we realize! The p rob lem is that we use main ly o ne hemisp here o f o ur b rain ---the left.F ro m child hood, in schoo l,we’re taug ht read ing,writin g,and mathematics; we are exp osed to very litt le music o r art.Therefore, many o f us mig ht not “exercise”o ur right hemisp here much, excep t thro ugh d reams, symbo ls, and those wo nd erful insights in wh ich we suddenly find the answer to a prob lem that has b een b othering us and do so witho ut the need for lo gic. Can we b e taught to use o ur rig ht hemisp here more? Many experts b elie ve so.C lasses at so me schoo ls and boo ks (such as “The Inner Game o f Tenn is and Drawing o n the Right S id e o f the Brain”) claim to help p eop le to“silence”the left hemisp here and give the right a chance to wo rk.Memo ry--True o r Fa lseIn the 1980s in the United S tates,there were many cases o f ad ults who sud denly rememb ered,with the help o f a p sycho lo gist,th ings that had happ ened to them in child hood. These memo ries had been rep ressed--held back--fo r many years. So me o f these newly d isco vered memo ries h ave sent peop le to priso n.As p eop le rememb er crimes (such as murd er or rap e) that they saw or exp erienced as child ren,the po lice have reop ened and investigated o ld criminal cases. In fact, o ver 700 cases have b een filled that are b ased o n these repressed memo ries.Ho wever, new stud ies in 1990s suggest that many o f these might b e false memo ries. At a 1994 co nference at Harvard Med ical S cho o l, neuro scientists d iscussed ho w memo ry is b elieved to wo rk. It is k no wn that small p ieces o f a memo ry (so und,right,fellin g, and so o n) are kep t in d ifferent p arts o f the b rain; the limb ic system,in the mid d le o f the b rain, p ulls these p ieces to gether into o ne co mp lete memo ry.But it’s certain that p eop le can “rememb er”thin gs that have never happ ened.Even a sma ll suggestio n can leave a p iece o f memo ry in the b rain. Most frighten ing,accord ing to Dr. Michael N ash o f the University o f Tennessee, is that “there may be no structural d ifference”in the b rain between a false memo ry and a true o ne.Diffe re nces in Male a nd Fe ma le B ra insWatch a gro up o f ch ild ren as they p lay. Yo u’ll p rob ab ly no tice that the bo ys and girls p lay d ifferently, speak d ifferently and are interested in d ifferent things. When they gro w into men and wo men,the d ifference d o no t d isap pear. Many scientists are no w stud y ing the o rig ins o f these gender d ifferences. So me are searching fo r an exp lanatio n in the human b rain. So me o f the find in gs are interesting.Fo r examp le,they’ve fo und that mo re men than wo men are left-handed; th is reflects the do minance o f the b rain’s right hemisp here.By co ntrast, mo re wo men listen eq ually with b o th ears while men listen main ly with the right ear. Men are b etter at read ing a map witho ut havin g to turnin g the map again and again.Wo men are better at read ing the emo tio ns o f peop le in p ho to grap hs.O ne p lace to lo ok fo r an exp lanatio n o f gender d ifferences is in the hypo thalamus, just abo ve the brain stem. This co ntro ls anger, thirst, hunger, and sexual d esire. O ne recent stud y sho ws that there is a regio n in the hypo thalamus that is larger in hetero sexual men than it is in wo men andho mosexual men. Ano ther area o f stud y is the corp us callo sum,the thick gro up o f nerves that allo ws the right and left hemisp heres o f the b rain to co mmun icate with each o ther. The corp us callosu m is larger in wo men than in men. This mig ht exp la in the mystery o f “female intu itio n”,which is sup posed to give wo men greater ab ilit y to“read”and und erstand emo tio nal clues.The Myste ry o f the Mind-bo dy Re la tio ns hipThere is more and mo re evid ence every day to p ro ve that o ur minds and bod ies are closely co nnected. N egative emotio ns, such as lo neliness, dep ressio n, and help lessness, are b elieved to cause a hig her rate o f sick ness and death. S imilarly,it’s po ssib le that po sitive th ink in g can help p eop le remain in goo d p hysical health o r b eco me well faster after an illness. Altho ugh so me d octo rs are do ub tfu l abo ut this, mo st accep t the success o f new therap ies (e.g.,relaxatio n and med itatio n) that help peop le with pro b lems such as u lcers,hig h b loo d pressure,inso mn ia,and migraine headaches.21. There is no neo co rtex in the brain o f animals.22. Mo st p eop le p ro bab ly d o n’t use all their creative ab ility.23.

There are no fo rk s or k nives fo r the Westerners to use. At a meal, C h inese p eop le make great,sweep ing arm mo vements that go o ver large sectio ns o f the tab le,passing o ver b oth fo od and friend s.The scene is marvelo us, b ut it leaves many fo reigners at a loss fo r what to do.In mo st Western restaurants and ho mes, there are rules abo ut ho w to talk, eat, and sit that are hig h ly restrictive, and they create an enviro nment that is d ifferent fro m what we find here in C hina.In my child hoo d ho me,d inner was enjo yed with so ft vo ices,and there were many things that we were no t supp osed to talk abo ut.We were no t allo wed to brin g up anything that was po tentially up setting,such as bod y functio ns, b ugs, murder, and crimes in general. If I had to leave the tab le to use the to ilet,I had to excuse myself witho ut mentio n in g what I was really go ing to do. “May I b e excused, p lease? I need to wash my hands,”I wo uld say.My mo ther wo uld say, “S ure.”My father wo uld o ften p lay a jok e o n me b y sayin g, “Yo ur hand s d o n’t look d irty to me!”As for eating, we d id it q uietly. N o eating no ises were allo wed.Everything must b e do ne as q uietly as po ssib le.Therefo re,we had to eat with o ur mo uths clo sed. To make a lo ud no ise was, perhap s, the worst o ffence p ossib le. While d rink in g so up,co ffee, or wine,we had to try to b e q uiet. If any so und whatever was made when eating o r d rink ing, it co nstituted bad manners! With that in mind, it was, o f co urse, unthink ab le to speak with o ne’s mo uth fu ll o f fo od.So speak ing o n ly oc curred b efo re o r after o ne had eaten so methin g up.Ho w o ne sits at the tab le is also prescrib ed. O ne is to sit up straig ht, usually with the left hand belo w the tab le ho ld ing so me p aper o r clo th and the right hand ho ld in g the fo rk o r sp oo n. The o nly time o ne is allo wed to have b oth hands o n the tab le is when o ne is using a k nife to cut so mething. But as so o n as the cuttin g is do ne,the left hand go es back und er the tab le. Also, elb o ws are no t allo wed o n the tab le. Therefo re, o ne leans the arm against the ed ge o f the tab le just b elo w the elb o w. O ne sho uld never reach fo r any food o n the tab le; o ne sho u ld ask so meo ne sitting near it to give it to yo u.“Wo uld yo u p lease pass the po tato es?”“May I tro ub le yo u fo r the salt?”…These are what yo u are lik ely to hear at a family d inner.When a guest fro m the West co mes to enjo y a meal with yo u, it wo uld be a good id ea fo r yo u to exp lain to yo ur guest what will happ en at d in ner and to find o ut if he/she wo uld need a fo rk and k nife. Durin g my t ime in China,I have co me to enjo y C hinese tab le manners far mo re than theose prescrib ed b y my o wn culture, b ut for many it is d ifficu lt to ad just to.The best po licy is to ask yo ur guest to find o ut what he/she is co mfo rtab le with.26. Many fo reigners are co nfused when they sit at a C hinese d inner tab le.27. So me top ics, such as news, ho lidays and schoo l wo rk, are no t allo wed attab le accord ing to Western manners.28. In most Western restaurants and ho mes, mak ing no ise while eating isco nsidered impo lite to o thers.29.In Western culture,it is imp rop er to p ur bo th hand s o n the d inner tab leunless when o ne wants to use a k nife.30. In mo st Western restaurants and ho mes, when peo p le want to get so mefoo d b eyo nd reach o n the tab le, they just help themselves.Part III Read ing Co mp rehensio n (Read ing in Depth)Sectio n A (1′×10=10′)Directio ns: Th ere are 2 p assag es in th is section .After read ing the fo llow in g passag e, you w ill f in d 5 qu est io ns.

嘉应学院07级本科07~08学年第一学期大学英语期末试卷

嘉应学院07级本科07~08学年第一学期大学英语期末试卷(A)Part ⅠWriting（30 minutes）( The direction is on the Answer Sheet.)Part ⅡReading Comprehension (Skimming and Scanning)(15 minutes)Directions: In this part, you will have 15 minutes to go over the passage quickly and answer the questions on Answer Sheet . For questions 1-7,markY (for YES)if the statement agrees with the information given in the passage;N (for NO)if the statement contradicts the information given in the passage;NG (for NOT GIVEN)if the information is not given in the passage.For questions 8-10, complete the sentences with information given in the passage.Theft Deterrent SystemTo deter the vehicle theft, the system is designed to give an alarm and keep the engine from being started if any of the front, sliding and back doors and hood(车篷) is forcibly unlocked or the battery terminal is disconnected and then reconnected when the vehicle is locked.The alarm blows the horn intermittently and flashes the headlights, tail lights and other exterior lights. The engine cannot be started because the starter circuit will be cut.Setting the System1. Turn the ignition key to the “LOCK” position and remove it.2. Have all passengers get out of the vehicle.3. Close and lock the front, sliding and back doors and hood.The indicator light will come on when the front, sliding and back doors and hood are closed and locked. As the front doors are locked, the system will give you a preparation time of 30 seconds before the setting, during which the front, sliding and back doors and hood may be opened to prepare for the setting. Be careful not to use the key when opening either front door. This will cancel the system.4. After making sure the indicator light starts flashing, you may leave the vehicle.The system will automatically be set after the preparation time elapses. The indicator light will flash to show the system is set. If any of the front, sliding and back doors and hood is opened at that time, the setting is interrupted until it is closed and locked. Never leave anyone in the vehicle when you set the system, because unlocking from the inside will activate (使起动) the system.When the System Is Set, Activating the SystemThe system will give the alarm and cut the starter circuit under the following conditions:If any of the front, sliding and back doors and hood is unlocked without using the keyIf the battery terminal is disconnected and then reconnectedAfter one minute, the alarm will automatically stop with the starter circuit cut kept on.Reactivating the AlarmOnce set, the system automatically resets the alarm each time the front, sliding and back doors and hood are closed after the alarm stops.The alarm will be activated again under the following conditions:If any of the front, sliding and back doors and hood is openedIf the battery terminal is disconnected and then reconnectedStopping the AlarmTurn the ignition key from the “LOCK” to “ACC” position. The alarm will be stopped with the starter circuit cut kept on. Stopping the alarm in this manner will keep the alarm from being reactivated when any of the front, sliding and back doors and hood is opened.Canceling the SystemUnlock either front door with the key, or unlock the sliding door with the key when it has been closed. This cancels the system completely and the starter circuit cut will be cancelled at once.Indicator LightThe indicator light gives the following three indications when the system is in use. When the light is: FLASHING—The system is set. Y ou need the key to open the front, sliding and back doors and hood.ON—The system will automatically be set when the time comes. The front, sliding and back doors and hood may be opened without a key.OFF—The system is inactive. Y ou may open any door and hood.T esting the System1. Open the driver’s and front passenger’s windows.2. Set the system as described above. The front doors should be locked with the key. Be sure to wait until the indicator light starts flashing.3. Unlock one of the front, sliding and back doors from the inside. The system should activate the alarm.4. Cancel the system by unlocking either front door with the key.5. Repeat this operation for the other doors and hood. When testing on the hood, also check that the system is activated when the battery terminal is disconnected and then reconnected.Questions:1. The system is used to deter the vehicle theft according to the instructions.2. In order to set the system, you should have all passengers get out of the vehicle.3. The system will be cancelled when you use the key to open the back door.4. The system will not be activated unless you use the key to open any of the front, sliding and back doors and hood.5. In order to stop the alarm, you have to turn the ignition key from the“ACC” to “LOCK” position.6. When the indicator light is flashing, it is needless to use the key to open any of the doors and hood.7. The passage tells us that the system works so effectively that it never breaks down.8. As the front doors are locked, the theft deterrent system will give you a preparation time of before setting.9. Before leaving the vehicle, make sure that the indicator light .10. When testing on the hood, also check that when the battery terminal is disconnected and then reconnected.Part Ⅲ Listening Comprehension（25 minutes）Section A Directions:In this section, you will hear 8 short conversa tions a nd 2 long c onversations.

Y ou 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 bank is identified by a letter. Please mark the corresponding letter for each item on Answer Sheet with a single line through the center. Y ou may not use any of the words in the bank more than once.Sophia Stella, a 36 at Columbia’s School of Engineering, is one of many undergraduates who become 37 , one way or another, in research 38 at the university. Some do it for academic credit, some for money, some just for experience. Students and professors agree that an undergraduate research project can be 39 beneficial to both parties.Ideally, undergraduate research is an opportunity for the kind of 40 study that can expand the mind in ways traditional courses can’t. Economics Professor Ralph Edison says: “To really understand a 41 you have to get the feeling that knowledge isn’t just out there and you passively have to absorb it, but rather that it’s constantly being42 and we’re constantly rethinking things… When students see a discipline as evolving rather than fixed, they43 get a lot more excited about learning because they see that it’s an ongoing process.” He points out that research can be exciting because “ a resear ch 44 really gives students an opportunity to answer real-life questions that we don’t know the answers to.”Research also spurs 45 thinking and intellectual confidence in students. Amelia, a graduate student in computer science, says, “Y ou had to go out and learn on your own. Y ou weren’t going to be spoon-fed.” Her fondmemories of work as an undergraduate researcher played an important role in her decision to leave her Wall Street programming job and return to Columbia as a graduate student.A. sophomoreB. involvedC. intensiveD. uniquelyE. disciplineF. performedG. independentH. usuallyI. projectJ. createdK. difficult L. absolutely M. method N. imagined O. taught_________________________________________________________________Section B Directions: There are 2 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）.Y ou should decide on the best choice and mark the corresponding letter on Answer Sheet 2 with a single line through the centre.Passage 1I have a young son. I notice every day that he learns something new. It did not take long for me to see he was watching me and then trying to do whatever I did. Utilizing this simple method he has learned to walk, run, open doors, and climb stairs. When he does these things he never looks exactly like I do. He supplements his actions with his own creative touch. I call how he learns creative emulation.I used creative emulation to help me attain my goal of playing tennis on the pro circuit. I used several methods to creatively emulate those players who were winning pro tournaments. I would read every tennis book I could find in the library and .bookstores. I examined back issues of every tennis magazine looking for articles on techniques. I would watch top pros on television. I would videotape pro matches and play them back, sometimes in slow motion. I would go to see pros play in person. As I studied I made observations. I wrote most of these ideas in my personal journal, which consisted of several notebooks and thousands of index cards. I used this journal to help me apply what I had observed. This process converted me from a third-string player on a second-rate college tennis team to someone who could win a few minor tournaments on the pro circuit. Along the way I developed one of the best approaches to learning tennis there is.Shortly after finishing my Ph.D., I established a goal of starting a part-time business lecturing and conducting seminars. I used the same creative emulation to help me reach my goal. The next stage of my transition to the business world was my purchase of a computer in early 1985. I once again tried to learn all I could about how I could use thi s machine in business. I subscribed to computer periodicals. I learned how to use spreadsheet, database, word processing, graphics, desktop publishing, and outlining processing software. I wrote down almost every idea I get from my readings or my own thinking and published articles. I became a part-time computer hardware and software agent and consultant.Because of the software skills I now had, I became confident of my ability to do more significant things in business.I realized that I could manage complex projects that involved many co-workers, customers, resources, and products. I started doing seminars to the public in 1988. These went so well that I was able to leave traditional education for good in 1989. My one-person home business bloomed over the years into a collection of larger enterprises which have taught at least 11 000 adults computer and business skills.My success tells me that the key to successful creative emulation is to emulate the successful people, the doers of the world. The best way to emulate someone in business is to follow him or her around and make observations of what they do. If you do this long enough, with the right person, and apply what you observe you should succeed. The second best way to emulate is to listen or read about what your model businessperson or mentor does and how he does it. The more you know about how your mentor succeeds the more clues you will have to help you succeed.46.Why does the author mention his young son before talking about himself?A. To show how simple and common his method of learning is.B. To get parents of lazy children to read his article.C. To entertain the reader with a familiar example.D. To get some children to read his article.47.How does the author compare the methods he used in tennis, computers, and business?A. He says each of these required a completely different method.B. He says each of these required a somewhat different method.C. He says each of these required exactly the same simple method.D. He says he is not sure whether they were the same.48.Why does the author write so many observations in his journals?A. He thinks he has a very poor memory for facts and details.B. He wants to publish the journals and make some money.C. He eventually wants to show the journals to his son.D. Writing things down helps him summarize and apply his observations.49.What does the author mean by emulating another person?A. To exactly copy that personB. To model upon that personC. To greatly admire that personD. To read everything about that person50.If the author wanted to learn to play a guitar, what would he be most likely to do first?A. Buy the best and most expensive guitar.B. Talk to other students who have guitars.C. Get VCD's of the world's best guitarists.D. Write fan letters to some famous guitarists.Passage 2Friendships Do EndFriendships may not last. Friendships can lose importance and die gradually. Some friendships end abruptly with unresolved conflict. The worst enemy of friendships is change by one or both friends. There is usually pain with the loss of friendship. In fact, friendships end with pain and change.Carole king’s song, “You’ve Got a Friend” promises “Winter, spring, summer, or fall ---- all you’ve got to do is call ---- and I’ll be there.” Many people expect that their friends wi ll always be there. They expect friendship to last forever.Yet, friendships end and friends part company every day. Unfortunately, even the best maintained friendships can end.Many end because of a change in personality or lifestyle when friends just drift apart and fade away with time. There is a retreat from self-disclosure and seeking out each other’s company. Avoidance begins. The friendship slowly loses importance and finally disappears.Sue said, “The end of our friendship was a gradual thing. I mov ed from one side of the city to the other. We had over an hour’s drive to see each other. For a year or so, we met regularly. Then our friendship began to taper off.”John wrote, “I didn’t even know the friendship was over until I caught myself thinking of Alan as a former friend, i n the past tense rather than the present.”Pat explained, “We started seeing each other less and less. The friendship was just over.”Other friendships break up suddenly from a disagreement or a move to another town.Paul said, “When I moved to Seattle after college, our friendship abruptly died. We were both struggling with new jobs and didn’t keep in touch. Now that friendship is so dead, I don’t even call him when I go home.”Bob Carver, Dallas psychotherapist, says, “A friends hip or any other relationship fails because of three things: unexpressed expectations, undelivered communication, and/ or thwarted attention.Yet the biggest threat to a friendship is change. For example, moving from single life to coupled life has a great effect on friendship. Coupled persons often feel their single friends act interested in them only when a romantic prospect is not in sight. The single friend may feel awkward and withdraw from a world of twosomes. Divorced and widowed people often have a feeling of being abandoned by old friends.Lillian Rubin in her book Just Friends says, “Thus generally it’s true that friends accept each other so long as they both remain essentially the same as they were when they met, or change in similar directions. If they change or grow in different or incompatible ways, the friendship most likely will be lost.”Regardless of why, when, or how friendships end, there is always some pain of loss to assimilate. When nothing can be done to mend the friendship, it is important to grieve and feel the pain fully. Then move on to enhance another friendship or build entirely new friendships.51．W hich of the following is most impossible to be true according to the passage?A. Friendships may end slowly.B. Friendships may end suddenly.C. Friendships may end painfully.D. Friendships may end pleasantly.52. Which of the following does not suggest a friendship has ended?A. We meet frequently, mainly as a habit.B. We think of our friend as a former friend.C. we see each other less and less.D. We disagree with each other.53. According to the information from the passage, what is the greatest danger to a friendship?A. One of the friends moving (to another place).B. ChangeC. Distrust between the friends.D. One of the friends withdrawing from the relationship.54. According to the passage, who may most often have a feeling of being deserted by old friends?A. single peopleB. Coupled peopleC. Divorced peopleD. Old people55. How can you ENSURE that a friendship will NEVER end?A. Try to meet your friend very regularly so you won’t lose contact.B. Try to avoid any extreme changes in your personality or lifestyle.C. Try to avoid all conflicts or disagreements, and keep no secrets.D. There is no way for that: even the best maintained friendships may end.Part V Cloze (15minutes)Directions: There are 20 blanks in the following passage.

In the same way, a green object reflects mostly green light. White objects reflects all colors of light. Black objects do not reflect any light. What happens to the colors of the light that are not reflected? They are absorbed by the object. The darker the color, the less light is reflected and the more light is absorbed. Light that is absorbed is turned into heat. For this reason, dark-colored clothes are warmer in the sunlight than light-colored clothes.1.

The old saying “An apple a day keeps the doctor away”is not as silly as some people think. The body needs fruit and vegetables because they contain vitamin C. Many people take extra vitamins in pill form, believing that these will make them healthy. But a good diet is made up of nourishing food andthis gives all the vitamins you need.

There are 3 tasks for youto fulfill. You should read the reading materials carefully and do the tasks asyou are instructed.Questions36-40 are based on the following passage.College is a new and different experience for me. I'm away from home, so I have many things to adjust to, e.g. being on my own, talking with friendly people. These are some of the things I like about college.First of all, living at college gives me a sense of responsibility, of being on my own. My parents aren't around to say, "No, you're not going out tonight." or "Did you finish your homework?" Everything I do has to be my decision, and that makes me responsible for my own life. During the second week I was at college, I had to go out and look for a bank where I could open an account. And when I got to the bank, I had to decide whether to have a current or savings account and whether or not to get a credit card. Decisions! Decisions!Friendly people, that's another thing I like about college. On my first day I came to Marymount University here in Virginia from New York, I was a bit confused about where I was going. My mother and I drove in. We did not know the building we were supposed to go to, but the guard was very nice. With a smile, he told us what building we were looking for and where we could park our car. My room was on the first floor of New Gerard, and I knew I had to go through some glass doors, but my mother and I didn't know which ones. Some students saw me and asked, "Are you a new student?" When they found out I was looking for New Gerard, one said: "Oh, just follow us; that's where we're going." Even now I feel comfortable in the dorm because there are friendly people around to talk with.I do like a lot of things about college, but that doesn't mean I don't think about thingsat home. Although I like college, I can still get homesick: New York is a very good place, too!36. The text is perhaps written by ________.A. a new studentB. a new teacherC. a foreign reporterD. a foreign visitor37. What does "gives me a sense of responsibility" in the first sentence of Paragraph 2 mean? It means ________.A. I shall be responsible for my parentsB. I shall be responsible for my teacherC. I shall be responsible for the schoolD. I shall be responsible for myself38. From Paragraph 3 we know that ____.A. the writer knew Marymount University quite wellB. the writer was a student from VirginiaC. the writer came to Marymount University aloneD. the writer liked his/her dorm very much39. What is New Gerard?A. It's a student's name.B. It's a teacher's name.C. It's a dorm's name.D. It's a school's name.40. Which of the following is NOT true?A. People in Marymount University are friendly.B. The writer likes the new experience in the university.C. The writer drove to Marymount University on the first day.D. The writer is not homesick.Questions41 -45 are based on the following passage.You’ve just be en given a major task and want to do it well, but it seems that the minute you get started, you’re interrupted. First, Jane stops by. Then, it’s the phone. Later, your boss tells you to drop everything –she’s got a rush job. And you have thatmeeting at three!All these things are important. If only you could rearrange them without breaking your concentration. And you can! We’ve heard about quality time at home–why not quality time on the job?Begin by finding out those parts of the day during whic h you’re most creative. You may work best in the morning or in the afternoon. No matter – just find your time and build a wall around it.Say that for you, quality time begins at ten. Focus on your major task then, and don’t let anything interrupt you. If you have a secretary, tell her or him to hold all calls and visitors; if you don’t, try to ask a colleague to help you. The point is that both outsiders and colleagues will know that you will not be available for a part of each day. Why? Because you are working!Prepare for this special block of time as carefully as you would for an important meeting. Don’t waste precious minutes searching for memos or notes. Be ready to begin precisely at ten, and get the most out of every second. You might like to use your block simply for thinking about a project, problem or a new idea.Start small –maybe thirty or forty minutes, three times a week, building up to at least an hour. Sure, you’ll have to chip away at your block a little sometimes, but guard that hour as you would any other valued possession.41.

What do you think?”“I don’t like it.”“Why not?”“I don’t know. There’s just something about the salesman that I don’t believe.”A few weeks after we had bought another car elsewhere, I happened to find out the history of the drop-head. It had been seriously damaged in a crash before we saw it, and cleverly done up. The car was, indeed, a very bad risk.Of all the things about women that their husbands do not understand, perhaps the biggest question is this: How can she often be right about things of which she has absolutely no knowledge? How does a woman’s intuition work? What is this strange power that tells her exactly when her husband isn’t working late on business, however honest he pretends to be? Is it guesswork, or some sixth sense that men don’t have?46.

Why didn’t the man know that the car was damaged at first?A.The damage was not serious at all.B.He was not careful enough.C.It had been skillfully repaired.D.The salesman only tried it out smoothly.49. What answer does the writer give to a woman’s intuition?A.It is simply a blind guess.B. It must be the sixth sense.B.It is a special kind of knowledge. D. It is a special kind of knowledge.50. From the passage we learn that the salesman was _____.A. cheatingB. honestC. helpfulD. kindPart IV: Translation ( 20% )Directions: This part is to test your ability to translate English into Chinese or Chinese into English.Section A Chinese into English:（５＊３’）51. 他女朋友帮了他很多忙，他欠她的情。
