学位英考试试题-1Part I Reading Comprehension (30%)Directions: There are three passages in this part. 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 blacken the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet.Passage 1Questions 1 to 5 are based on the following passage:Archaeology, like many academic words, comes from Greek and means, more or less, “the study of old things”. So, it is really a part of the study of history. However, most historians use paper evidence, such as letters, paintings and photographs，but archaeologists (考古学家) learn from the objects left behind by the humans of long ago. Normally, these are the hard materials that don't break down or disappear very quickly—things like human bones and objects made from stone and metal.It is very unusual to find anything more than the hard evidence of history--normally, the bacteria (细菌) in the air eat away at soft materials, like bodies, clothes and things made of wood. Occasionally, things are different.In 1984, two men made an amazing discovery while working in a bog called Lindow Moss, in the north of England. A bog is a very wet area of earth, with a lot of plants growing in it. It can be like a very big and very thick vegetable soup—walk in the wrong place and you can sink and disappear forever. The men were working when one of them saw something sticking out—a human foot! Naturally, the men called the police，who then found the rest of the body. Was it a case of murder? Possibly--but it was a death nearly two thousand years old. The two men had found a body from the time of the Roman invasion of Britain. Despite being so old, this body had skin, muscles, hair and internal organs—the scientists who examined him were able to look inside the man's stomach and find the food that he had eaten for his last meal!Why was this man so well preserved? (76) It was because he was in a very watery environment, safe fi:om the bacteria that need oxygen to live. Also, the water in the bog was very acidic. The acid preserved the man's skin in the way that animal skin is preserved for leather coats and shoes.How did he die? Understandably, archaeologists and other scientists wanted to know more about the person that they called,“Lindow Man”. (77) His hands and fingernails suggested that he hadn't done heavy manual work in his life—he could have been a rich man. They found that he hadn't died by accident. The archaeologists believe that he was sacrificed to three different gods.1. Which language does the word “archaeology”come from?A. French.B. Greek.C. Roman.D. German.2.

Which is the best title for the passage?A. What Is Archaeology?B. Archaeology and HistoryC. An Amazing Archaeological DiscoveryD. The Death of“Lindow Man”Passage 2Questions 6 to 10 are based on the following passage:The city has always been an engine of intellectual life, from the 18th-century cafes of London, where citizens gathered to discuss chemistry and politics, to the Left Bank bars of modern Paris, where Picasso talked about modem art. Without the metropolis, we might not have had the great art of Shakespeare.And yet, city life isn't easy. Now scientists have begun to examine how the city affects the brain, and the results are depressing. Just being in an urban environment, they have found, impairs (损害) our basic mental processes. (78) After spending a few minutes on a crowded city street, the brain is less able to hold things in memory, and suffers from reduced self-control. While it's long been recognized that city life is exhausting, this new research suggests that cities actually dull our thinking, sometimes dramatically so.One of the main forces at work is a complete lack of nature, which is surprisingly beneficial for the brain. Studies have demonstrated, for instance, that hospital patients recover more quickly when they can see trees from their windows, and that women living in public housing are better able to focus when their apartments overlook a lawn. Even these glimpses of nature improve brain performance, it seems, because they provide a mental break from the urban life.This research arrives just as humans cross an important milestone (里程碑). For the first time in history, the majority of people live in cities. Instead of inhabiting wide-open spaces, we're crowded into concrete jungles, surrounded by traffic and millions of Strangers. In recent years, it's become clear that such unnatural surroundings have important implications for our mental and physical health, and can powerfully alter how we think.This research is also leading some scientists to dabble (涉足) in urban design, as they look for ways to make the city less damaging to the brain. (79) The good news is that even slight alterations, such as planting more trees in the inner city or creating urban parks with a greater variety of plants, can significantly reduce the negative side effects of city life. The mind needs nature, and even a little bit can be a big help.6. Which of the following is the main idea of this passage?A. The city inspires talented people.B. The city hurts your brain.C. The city has many pleasures and benefits.D. The city seriously affects the natural balance.7. The word “metropolis” in the first paragraph is closest in meaning to_______.A. citizenB. natureC. cityD. stress8. People have just come to realize that_______.A. human attention is a scarce resourceB. city life can make people very tiredC. the city is an engine of intellectual lifeD. an urban environment is damaging to the brain9. What is the factor mentioned in the third paragraph that helps the hospital patients recover more quickly?A. Nature.B. Better treatment.C. Experienced doctors.D. Good medicine.10. According to the passage, which of the following statements is TRUE?A. Different aspects (方面) of an urban environment, such as the crowded streets, can lead to an increase in self-control.B. Small changes in urban design, cannot reduce the negative side effects of city life.C. For the first time in history, the earth's population is more urban than rural.D. A walk down a busy city street will improve brain performance.Passage 3Questions 11 to 15 are based on the following passage:Breastfeeding (母乳喂养) for a month or longer appears to reduce a woman's risk of getting diabetes (糖病) later in life, according to a new study. The breastfeeding and diabetes link has been reported in other studies, according to researcher Eleanor Schwarz. Yet, her study makes the link easier to believe. Her study is published in a journal of medicine in America. Schwarz and her colleagues looked at data about breastfeeding practices. They evaluated data on 2,233 women f~om Califomia. Of those, 405 were not mothers, 1,125 were mothers who breastfed for at least a month, and 703 were mothers who had never breastfed. They were 40 to 78 years old.According to Schwarz's study, the risk of getting a diagnosis (诊断) of Type 2 diabetes for women who breastfed all their children for a month or longer was similar to that of women who had not given birth. But mothers who had never breastfed were nearly twice as likely to develop diabetes as women who had never given birth. Mothers who never breastfed were about 1.4 times as likely to develop diabetes as women who breastfed for one to three months, Schwarz found.While one month of breastfeeding appears to make a difference, Schwarz says, even longer is better. (80) “Previous studies have shown the longer the mom breastfeeds, the more benefit for her body.” Many experts recommend breastfeeding for six months and continuing for a year, she says.The diabetes-breastfeeding link is probably explained by belly fat. Mothers, who don't breastfeed, as they get older, may have more belly fat, as breastfeeding helps new mothers take off weight. “Belly fat increases the risk of diabetes as you get older,” she says.The finding isn't surprising at all, says Kimberly Gregory. She often gives advice to women who get diabetes (occurring during pregnancy (怀孕)) that they are at risk for later getting Type 2 diabetes and suggests they breastfeed. The new findings will probably inspire Gregory to add to the-advice she gives moms-to-be about the benefits of breastfeeding. She often focuses on the benefits to the baby.11. According to the first paragraph, which of the following statements is TRUE?A. About two thousand and two hundred old women took part in the study.B. Eleanor Schwarz's research program was about men and women who suffered from diabetes.C. Over one fifths of the women never got married.D. Eleanor Schwarz's results seem more reliable.12. According to Schwarz's findings, who are more likely to get diabetes later in life?A. Those mothers who had never breastfed.B. Those mothers who never gave birth.C. Those mothers who breastfed for a month.D. Those mothers who breastfed for six months.13. Which of the following statements would Schwarz agree with?A. Breastfeeding is not advisable because it is not good for a mom to keep a good shape.B. Breastfeeding can greatly reduce a mother's chances of getting all kinds of serious disease.C. Breastfeeding for a month is highly recommended: the longer, the better.D. Breastfeeding for a month or longer makes babies smarter.14. What does the author mean by “moms-to-be” in the last paragraph?A. Women who are pregnant, especially for the first time.B. Women who dream of having babiesfor the first time.C. Women who already have children.D. Women who have just got babies for the first time.15. Which of the following is an appropriate title for this passage?A. Breasffeeding May Enhance Babies' Chances of SurvivalB. Breasffeeding May Lower Moms' Diabetes RiskC. Breasffeeding May Become Very Fashioaable in Near FutureD.

Each passage is followed by some questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A,B,C and D. Choose the one that best completes the statement or answers the question. Choose the best answer (marked A,B,C or D) to each question.June 6, 2020 marked a milestone in the field of artificial intelligence (AI). It was the day Google released LaMDA, a language model designed to sound more like humans and less like computers. Google said LaMDA will make the internet more talkative and more like having a conversation.Scientists at Google hope that LaMDA will help to make searching the internet easier and more satisfying. Today, if you search “elephants,” for instance, yo u get a page full of information, and you have to sort through everything to findwhat you are looking for. With LaMDA, you could ask questions like you would ask a person who knows about elephants, and the model would answer in more natural, conversational sentences.The new model is different from other language models because it can hold a conversation from the start of the sentence to the end, rather than in a single response. By incorporating this feature, LaMDA can respond to questions and comments, and understand the context of the conversation.The developers say LaMDA has already demonstrated its benefit to a widely known Google program called Meena. Meena can respond to instructions from the user with a limited amount of information. LaMDA, though, can give much broader explanations and speak on a wide variety of subjects.It remains to be seen how the introduction of LaMDA will affect how humans use the internet, but the developers at Google are hopeful that it will make the searching experience more enjoyable and almost like chatting with a friend.1. What is Google’s LaMDA supposed to help internet users do?A. Talk like a computer.B. Find more information.C. Search for elephants.D. Sort through pages of information.【Answer】B. Find more information.2. According to the passage, what can the new language model LaMDA do during a conversation?A. Respond to questions.B. Understand search terms.C. Show pages of information.D.

But is this really the case? Technology can certainly make certain tasks quicker and easier, but does it actually make us more productive in the long run? In many cases, all the time we save doing one task is simply spent on another task. For example, instead of taking longer to write out a letter by hand, we can now type it up on a computer in a fraction of the time. However, this doesn't mean that we will automatically be more productive in our overall workday.Passage 2The internet has provided us with access to a wealth of information at our fingertips. This has been both a blessing and a curse. While it's true that we can now find information on almost any topic we are interested in, the sheer amount of information available can be overwhelming. It's all too easy to get lost down a rabbit hole of endless articles, videos, and social media posts. This can actually hinder our productivity rather than enhance it.Questions:6. According to Passage 1, what is a possible consequence of using technology to save time on tasks?A) People become more efficient and productive.B) People have more spare time to relax.C) People spend the saved time on other tasks.D) People focus more on quality rather than quantity.7. What is the main idea of Passage 2?A) The internet provides us with a wealth of information.B) The internet can be overwhelming with its vast amount of information.C) The internet has made us all more productive.D) The internet is a blessing and a curse at the same time.Section C: TranslationTranslate the following sentences into English:8. 科技的快速发展已经改变了我们的生活方式。

One of the most popular courses offered by the Open University is the Degree English course, which covers a wide range of topics related to the English language and literature. In this document, we will provide you with some sample exam questions from the Open University Degree English course, along with their corresponding answers.Sample Exam Questions:1. Discuss the theme of love in William Shakespeare's play "Romeo and Juliet". How does Shakespeare explore the concept of forbidden love in the play?Answer: In "Romeo and Juliet", Shakespeare portrays love as a powerful and uncontrollable force that transcends social boundaries and conventions. The central characters, Romeo and Juliet, come from feuding families, which makes their love forbidden and doomed from the start. Despite the obstacles they face, Romeo and Juliet's love remains strong and passionate,leading them to make bold and tragic decisions in the name of love.2. Analyze the use of symbolism in Ernest Hemingway's novel "The Old Man and the Sea". How does Hemingway use symbolism to convey deeper meanings and themes in the novel?Answer: In "The Old Man and the Sea", Hemingway uses a variety of symbols to convey deeper meanings and themes in the novel. The sea, for example, symbolizes the cyclical nature of life and the struggles and triumphs that come with it. The old man's battle with the marlin can be seen as a metaphor for the human condition and the perseverance and resilience required to overcome adversity. Additionally, the old man's relationship with the young boy symbolizes the importance of mentorship and the passing down of knowledge from one generation to the next.3. Compare and contrast the use of imagery in Emily Dickinson's poem "Because I could not stop for Death" and Robert Frost's poem "Stopping by Woods on a Snowy Evening". How do Dickinson and Frost use imagery to create different moods and atmospheres in their poems?Answer: In "Because I could not stop for Death", Emily Dickinson uses vivid imagery to create a serene and contemplative mood in the poem. The image of Death as agentlemanly driver who takes the speaker on a leisurely carriage ride conveys a sense of acceptance and resignation towards the end of life. In contrast, Robert Frost's "Stopping by Woods on a Snowy Evening" uses imagery to create a sense of mystery and ambiguity. The dark and snowy woods symbolize the unknown and the allure of death, while the repetitive use of the word "sleep" hints at the idea of eternal rest and peace.4. Explain the significance of the title "Pride and Prejudice" in Jane Austen's novel. How does Austen explore the themes of pride and prejudice in the novel?Answer: In "Pride and Prejudice", Jane Austen uses the title as a reflection of the central themes of the novel. The characters in the novel, particularly Elizabeth Bennet and Mr. Darcy, struggle with their own pride and prejudice towards each other, leading to misunderstandings and conflicts throughout the story. Austen explores the consequences of pride and prejudice on personal relationships and social interactions, highlighting the importance of self-awareness and humility in overcoming these negative traits.Conclusion:The Open University Degree English course covers a wide range of topics related to the English language and literature,including works by renowned authors such as William Shakespeare, Ernest Hemingway, Emily Dickinson, Robert Frost, and Jane Austen. By studying these works and exploring the themes, symbols, and imagery within them, students can gain a deeper understanding of the complexities and nuances of the English language and its literary traditions.

In this document, we will provide you with some sample questions from the Open University degree English exam along with their corresponding answers.Questions:1. Give a brief summary of the poem "The Waste Land" by T.S. Eliot.2. Discuss the thematic significance of symbolism in George Orwell's "1984".3. Analyze the character development of Elizabeth Bennet in Jane Austen's "Pride and Prejudice".4. Compare and contrast the narrative styles of Virginia Woolf and James Joyce.5. How does Chinua Achebe use language and cultural references in "Things Fall Apart" to convey the complexities of colonialism in Africa?6. Explain the concept of the "tragic hero" in Shakespeare's "Macbeth" and how it applies to the character of Macbeth.7. Evaluate the use of humor in Oscar Wilde's "The Importance of Being Earnest" and its impact on the overall tone of the play.8. Discuss the role of gender and power dynamics in Emily Bronte's "Wuthering Heights".9. Explore the theme of isolation and longing in Charlotte Perkins Gilman's "The Yellow Wallpaper".10. How does the setting of a dystopian society in Aldous Huxley's "Brave New World" serve as a commentary on the dangers of technological advancement?Answers:1. "The Waste Land" by T.S. Eliot is a modernist poem that explores themes of fragmentation, disillusionment, and the search for meaning in a post-war world. The poem is presented in five parts and incorporates a variety of literary and cultural references, including mythology, religion, and literature. Through its fragmented structure and elusive imagery, Eliot conveys a sense of alienation and disconnection in society.2. In "1984" by George Orwell, symbolism plays a crucial role in conveying the oppressive and totalitarian nature of the dystopian society of Oceania. The symbolic use of Big Brother, the Party, and the concept of Newspeak highlights the themes of surveillance, control, and manipulation in the novel. These symbols serve to underscore the dehumanizing effects of a government that seeks absolute power over its citizens.3. Elizabeth Bennet, the protagonist of "Pride and Prejudice" by Jane Austen, undergoes significant character development throughout the novel. Initially portrayed as quick-witted, independent, and outspoken, Elizabeth's journey ofself-discovery and personal growth is marked by her overcoming prejudice and pride to find true love and happiness. Her transformation from a prejudiced young woman to a mature and self-aware individual is central to the novel's exploration of social norms and expectations.4. Virginia Woolf and James Joyce are both renowned modernist writers known for their innovative narrative styles. Woolf's stream-of-consciousness technique, as seen in "Mrs. Dalloway" and "To the Lighthouse", focuses on the interior lives of characters and the fluidity of time. Joyce's experimental approach in "Ulysses" and "Finnegans Wake" challenges traditional narrative conventions with its complex structure and linguistic play. While both writers explore themes of identity, consciousness, and perception, they employ distinct narrative techniques to convey their ideas.5. Chinua Achebe's "Things Fall Apart" depicts the impact of colonialism on traditional Igbo society in Nigeria. Through the use of language, proverbs, and cultural references, Achebe conveys the complexities of cultural clash and change. The character of Okonkwo embodies the struggle between tradition and change, highlighting the devastating consequences of European imperialism on African communities. Achebe's novelserves as a powerful critique of colonialism and its lasting effects on indigenous cultures.6. In Shakespeare's "Macbeth", the tragic hero is a character who experiences a downfall due to their fatal flaw or hubris. Macbeth, the protagonist of the play, is a tragic hero whose ambition and desire for power lead to his eventual downfall. As he becomes consumed by guilt and paranoia, Macbeth's actions spiral out of control, ultimately resulting in his tragic demise. The concept of the tragic hero explores themes of fate, free will, and the consequences of unchecked ambition.7. Oscar Wilde's "The Importance of Being Earnest" is a comedy of manners that uses humor to satirize the social conventions and hypocrisies of Victorian society. The play's witty dialogue, wordplay, and farcical situations create a light-hearted and entertaining tone that masks deeper themes of identity, deception, and morality. Wilde's use of humor serves to criticize the superficiality and artificiality of the upper class while highlighting the importance of sincerity and authenticity in human relationships.8. Emily Bronte's "Wuthering Heights" is a gothic novel that explores themes of passion, revenge, and the destructive power of love. The novel's complex characters, including Heathcliff andCatherine Earnshaw, are embroiled in a tumultuous and tragic love affair that spans generations. The novel's portrayal of gender dynamics and power struggles reflects the societal constraints and expectations of the time, while also challenging traditional notions of love, morality, and social class.9. "The Yellow Wallpaper" by Charlotte Perkins Gilman is a psychological tale that delves into the theme of female oppression and mental illness. The protagonist, who is confined to a room by her husband, becomes obsessed with the yellow wallpaper and begins to unravel psychologically. Through the use of vivid imagery and symbolism, Gilman explores the damaging effects of patriarchal control and the silencing of women's voices. The theme of isolation and longing in the story reflects the protagonist's desire for freedom and self-expression in a stifling and suffocating environment.10. Aldous Huxley's "Brave New World" presents a dystopian society where technological advancement has led to the suppression of individuality and free will. The novel's setting, which is characterized by genetic engineering, conditioning, and social control, serves as a critique of the dehumanizing effects of a technocratic world. Huxley's portrayal of a society devoid of emotion, spirituality, and intellectual curiosity highlights thedangers of a society driven by consumerism, conformity, and surveillance. The novel's cautionary tale warns against the uncritical acceptance of technological progress at the expense of human values and autonomy.Conclusion:The Open University degree English exam tests students' understanding of a variety of literary works and genres, as well as their critical thinking and analytical skills. By engaging with these sample questions and answers, students can enhance their knowledge of literature and develop their abilities to analyze and interpret texts. The exam serves as a measure of students' proficiency in English and their ability to engage with complex ideas and themes in a range of literary works. As students prepare for the exam, they should focus on close reading, critical analysis, and effective communication to succeed in demonstrating their knowledge and skills in English literature.。

Part III Reading Comprehension(20x2=40points)Passage1It may look like just another playgroup, but a unique educational center in Manhattan is really giving babies something to talk about."It's a school to teach languages to babies and young children with games, songs--some of the classes also have arts and crafts," said Francois Thibaut, the founder of the Langrage Workshop for Children, a place where babies become bilingual.Children as young as few months are exposed to French and Spanish before many of them can even speak English. Educators use special songs and visual (视觉的) aids to ensure that when a child is ready to talk, the languages wil l n o t be so foreign."Children have a unique capacity to learn many languages at the same time," said Thibaut."Already at nine months, a child can tell the differences between the sounds he or she has heard since birth and the sounds he or she has never heard yet." Thibaut says the best time to expose children to language is from birth to 3 years old. For the last 30 years, the school has been using what it calls the Thibarut Technique, a system that combines language lessons with child's play."I always wanted to learn Spanish, but by the time I got to high school it was too late to pick it up and speak fluently," said Marc Lazare, who enrolled his son at the school."I figured at this age, two, it's a perfect time for him to learn."Aside from learning a language, the kids also gain a tremendous sense of confidence. One young student boasted that aside from French, she can speak five languages (though that included "monkey" and "lion"). The school gives children the tools to communicate, and sometimes that gives them an advantage over their parents."I think they sometimes speak French when they think I won't understand them," said parent Foster GibbonsDepending on the age group, classes run from 45 minutes up to 2 hours. Even when the students are not in class, the program is designed to make sure the learning continues at home. Tapes and books are included so kids can practice on their own.(359)41.The word "bilingual" in the first paragraph probably meansA.capable of using two languagesB.both clever and confidentC.aware of their own limitations and strengthsD.independent of their parents42.The passage tells us that the best time for a child to learn languages isA. before seven years oldB.from birth to three years oldC. in his childhoodD. in his teens43.According to Thibaut, it is possible.A.for children to take advantage of their parents by using a foreign languageB. to expose children to a foreign language after they can speakC. to combine language lessons with sports gamesD. for children to learn several languages at the same time44.The school teaches language by.A.exposing children to the new environmenting modern facilities and equipmentC. combining language lessons with gamesD. giving children confidence45. The best title for this text isA. A Unique Language School for ChildrenB.The Foreign Language for Children to LearnC. Special Songs and Visual Aids in LearningD.The Best Way to Learn a Foreign LanguagePassage2The differences in living standards around the world are vast. In 1993, the average American had an income of about $25,000. In the same year, the average Mexican earned $7,000, and the average Nigerian earned $1,500. Not surprisingly, this large variation in average income is reflected in various measures of the quality of life. Changes in living standards over time are also large. In the United States, incomes have historically grown about 2 percent per year (after adjusting for changes in the cost of living). At this rate, average income doubles every 35 years. In some countries, economic growth has been even more rapid. In Japan, for instance, average income has doubled in the past 20 years, and in South Korea it has doubled in the past 10 years.What explains these large differences in living standards among countries and over time? The answer is surprisingly simple. Almost all variation in living standards is attributable to differences in countries' productivity—that is, the amount of goods and services produced from each hour of a worker's time. In nations where workers can produce a large quantity of goods and services per unit of time, most people enjoy a high standard of living; in nations where workers are less productive, most people must endure a more meager existence. Similarly, the growth rate of a nation's productivity determines the growth rate of its average income.The fundamental relationship between productivity and living standards is simple, but its implications are far-reaching. If productivity is the primary determinant of living standards, other explanations must be of secondary importance. For example, people might think that labor unions or minimum-wage laws contributed to the rise in living standards of American workers over the past century. Yet the real hero of American workers is their rising productivity.The relationship between productivity and living standards also has great implications for public policy. When thinking about how any policy will affect living standards, the key question is how it will affect our ability to produce goods and services. To improve living standards, policymakers need to raise productivity by ensuring that workers are well educated, have the tools needed to produce goods and services, and have access to the best available technology.46.Which of the following countries has enjoyed the fastest economic growth in history?A.Mexico.B.The United StatesC. JapanD. South Korea.47.The Word"meager"in the second paragraph is closest in meaning to" "A. modestB.poorC. meaninglessD. plentiful48.What is the most important factor that leads to the rise in living standards of average people?A. Labor unionsB. Minimum-wage lawsC. Rising productivity.D. Favorable public policy49.The study of the relationship between productivity and living standards is significant that .A. it calls policymakers'attention to a qualified work forceB. it encourages workers to get better educationC. it helps improve the workers' ability to produce goods ands servicesD. it enables policymakers to access the latest technology50.The passage mainly discussesA. the differences in average income among countriesB. the relationship between productivity and living standardsC. the causes of the rise in living standardsD. the importance of raising productivityPassage3Recent stories in the newspapers and magazines suggest that teaching and research contradict each other, that research plays too prominent a part in academic promotions, and that teaching is badly underemphasized. There is an element of truth in these statements, but they also ignore deeper and more important relationships.Research experience is an essential element of hiring and promotion at a research university because it is the emphasis on research that distinguishes such a university from an arts college. Some professors, however, neglect teaching for research and that presents a problem.Most research universities reward outstanding teaching, but the greatest recognition is usually given for achievements in research. Part of the reason is the difficulty of judging teaching. A highly responsible and tough professor is usually appreciated by top students who want to be challenged, but disliked by those whose records are less impressive. The mild professor gets overall ratings that are usually high, but there is a sense of disappointment in the part of the best students, exactly those for whom the system should present the greatest challenges. Thus, a university trying to promote professors primarily on the teaching qualities would have to confront this confusion.As modern science moves faster, two forces are exerted on professor: one is the time needed to keep on with the profession; the other is the time needed to teach. The training of new scientists requires outstanding teaching at the research university as well as the arts college. Although scientists are usually "made"in the elementary schools, scientists can be "lost"by poor teaching at the college and graduate school levels. The solution is not to separate teaching and research, but to recognize that the combination is difficult but vital. The title of professor should be givenonly to those who profess, and it is perhaps time for universities to reserve it for those willing to be an earnest part of the community of scholars. Professors unwilling to teach can be called "distinguished research investigators" or something else.The pace of modern science makes it increasingly difficult to be a great researcher and a great teacher. Yet many are described in just those terms. Those who say we can separate teaching and research simply do not understand the system but those who say the problem will disappear are not fulfilling their responsibilities.(389)51.What idea does the author want to convey in the first paragraph?A.It is wrong to overestimate the importance of teaching.B. Teaching and research are contradictory to each other.C.Research can never be emphasized too much.D.The relationship between teaching and research should not be simplified.52.In academic promotions research universities still attach more importance to research partly becauseA. research improves the quality of teachingB.students who want to be challenged appreciate research professorsC. it is difficult to evaluate teaching quality objectivelyD. professors with achievements in research are usually responsible and tough53. According to the fourth paragraph, which of the following will the author probably agree with?A.Distinguished professors at research universities should concentrate on research only.B. The separation of teaching from research can lower the quality of future scientists.C.It is of utmost importance to improve teaching in elementary schools in order to train new scientists.D.The rapid developments of modern science makes it impossible to combine teaching with research.54. The title of professor should be given only to those who, first and foremost, doA.teachingB.field workC. scientific researchD.investigation55.The phrase"the problem"(Para. 5,Line 3) refers toA. raising the status of teachingB.the combination of teaching with researchC. the separation of teaching from researchD. improving the status of researchPassage4There are a number of formats for reporting research, such as articles to appear in journals, reports addressed to funding agencies, theses or dissertations as part of the requirements for university degrees, and papers to be presented at conferences. These formats differ from one another mostly in their purposes and the audiences whom they address. We will now briefly describe them.The journal article is a way of reporting research for professional journals or edited collections. The research is reporting in a brief, yet informative way, focusing mostly on the main features of the research such as the purpose, review of the literature (often referred to as "background"), procedures used for carrying out the research accompanied by tables, charts, and graphs, and interpretations of the results (often referred to as discussion).The content and emphasis of the journal article will vary according to the intended readers (research or practitioners) and it is important for the researcher to be aware of the background and interest of the readers of the journal. Articles intended to be read by practitioners will emphasize the practical implications and recommendations of the research, while articles intended to be read by researchers will describe in detail the method used to collect data, the construction of data collection procedures, and the techniques used for analyzing the data. It is important for the novice researcher to be aware of the fact that articles submitted to journals go through a process of evaluation by experts who make a judgment and recommend whether they should be published or not.The thesis or dissertation is a format for reporting research which graduate students write as part of fulfilling the requirements for an advanced academic degree. The student is expected to describe in great detail all the phases of the research so it can be examined and evaluated carefully by the reader. Thus the thesis or dissertation includes the purpose and significance of the study, the rationale, a thorough review of the literature, detailed information as to the research tools and the procedures involved in their development, a description of data analysis and the results, and aninterpretation of the results in the form of conclusions, implications, and recommendation. This detailed description of the process of the research is needed to provide the professors with an indication of the student's ability to carry out research.The conference paper is a way of reporting research at conferences, seminars and colloquia. At such meetings research papers are usually presented orally. They are similar to the research article since research is reported in a concise, yet informative way, focusing on the most essential elements of the research. Handouts and transparencies can also accompany the presentations. As with the research article, here too, the content and emphasis of the oral report will depend to a large extent on the type of audience present at the meeting, and whether they are researchers or practitioners (486)56. The best title for this passage could beA.Types of Research ReportsB.Types of Journal ArticlesC.Writing of research ReportsD.Writing of Different Articles57. The common aspect for the journal articles, theses and conference papers lies in thatA. they are all for the practitioners IB.they are all to be read by researchersC.they are all for being published .D. they are all forms of reporting research58.We can distinguish those research reports from each other mainly throughA. their writing style and length .B. their aims and possible audiencesC.their presented places and timeD. their content and purposes59.Which of the following statements is not mentioned in this passage?A.Both journal articles and conference papers are reported in a brief and informative wayB.All the theses or dissertations and conference papers are reported in spoken languages.C.Both the journal articles and conference papers are influenced greatly by the intended receivers.D. The various formats of research reports may be presented in different ways.60.How can a professor evaluate a student's capability of implementing the research.*A.By concentrating on the main factors like the purpose, background, procedures and discussion:B.By emphasizing the practical implications and recommendations of the research.C. By focusing on the detailed description of the process of the research such as the tools, process the process of data analysis, the results,and conclusions etc.D. By noticing the detailed method used to collect the data, the construction of the data collection procedures, the techniques for analyzing the date and results etc.Reading Comprehension(20x2=40points)41--45 ABDCA 46—50 DBCAB 51—55 DCBAC 56—60 ADBBC。

People who have such anaddiction are compulsive, i. e. they have a verypowerful psychological need that they feel they must satisfy. According to psychologists, many people are compulsivespenders.They feel that they must spend money. This compulsion, like most others, is irrational —impossible to explain reas on ably For compulsive spe nders who buy on credit, charge acco untS赊购账)are even more exciting than money. In other words, compulsive spendersfeel that with credit, they can do anything. Their pleasure in spending enormous amounts is actually greater than the pleasure that they get from the things they b.uyThere is even a special psychology of bargain hunting. To save mone,yof course, most people look for sales, low prices, and discounts. Compulsive bargain hunters, however, of ten buy things that they don't need just because they are cheap. They want to believe that they are helping their budgets, but they are really playing an exciting game. When they can buy something for less than other people, they feel that they are winning. Most people, experts claim, have two reasons for their behavior: a good reason for the things that they do and the real reason.It is not only scientists, of course, who understand the psychology of spending habits, but also businesspeople. Stores, companies, and advertiseur s e psychology to increase business: They consider people's needs for love, power, or influence, their basic values, their beliefs and opinions, and so on in their advertising and sales methods.Psychologists often use a method called "behavior therapy" to help individuals solve their personality problems. In the same way, they can help people who feel that they have problems with money.66. According to the psychologists, a compulsive spender is one who spends large amounts of money _____ .A) and takes great pleasure from what he or she buysB) in order to satisfy his or her basic needs in lifeC) just to meet his or her strong psychological needD) entirely with an irrational eagerness67. According to the writer, compulsive bargain hunters are in constant search of the lowest possible prices __________ .A) because they want to save money to help their budgetsB) because they can openly boast of their triumph over others in getting things for lessC) and will not have money problems if they can keep to their budgetsD) but they seldom admit they feel satisfied if they can get things for less than others68. Which of the following is true?A) All people spend money for exactly the same reason that they need to buy things.B) Businesspeople and advertisers can use the psychology of money to increase sales.C) Businesspeople understand the psychology of compulsive buying better than scientists do.D) compulsive bargain hunters do not have problems with mone.y69. The article is mainly about ____ .A) the psychology of money-spending habitsB) the purchasing habits of compulsive spendersC) a special psychology of bargain huntingD) the use of the psychology of spending habits in business70. From the passage we may safely conclude that compulsive spenders or compulsive bargain hunters _____________ .A) are really unreasonableB) need special treatmentC) are really beyond remediesD) can never get any help to solve their problems with moneyPassage 2Hawaii ' S夏威夷的)native minority is demanding a greater degree of sovereignty (主权)over its own affairs. But much of the archipelago (群岛的) political establishment which includes the White Americans who dominated until the Second World War and people of Japanese, Chinese and Filipino origin, is opposed to the idea.The islands were annexed (并吞)by the US in 1898 and since then Hawaii ' s native peoples have fared worse than any of its other ethnic groups. They make up over 60 percent of the state 'hosmeless, suffer higher levels of unemployment and their life span is five years less than the average Hawaiians.They are the only major US native group without some degree of autonomy.But a sovereignty advisory committee set up by Hawaii 'fisrst native governor, John Waihee, has given the natives c'ausea major boost by recommending that the Hawaiian natives decide by themselves whetherto re-establish a sovereign Hawaiian nation.However, the Hawaiian natives are not united in their demands. Some just wantgreater autonomy within the state—as enjoyed by many American Indian natives over matters such as education. This is position supported by the Office of Hawaiian Affairs （OHA）, a state agency set up in 1978 to represent the natives i'nterests and which has now become the moderate face of the native sovereignty movement. More ambitious is the Ka Lahui group, which declared itself a new nation in 1987 and wants full, official independence from the US.But if Hawaiian natives are given greater autonomy, it is far from clear how many people this will apply to. The state authorities only count those as native people with more than 50 percent Hawaiian blood.Native dema nds are not just based on political grieva nceS苦衷）,though. They also want their claim on 660,000 hectares （公顷）of Hawaiian crown land （公有土地）to be accepted」t is on this issuethat native groups are facing most opposition from the state authorities. In 1933, the state government paid the OHA US＄136 million in back rent （欠租）on the crown land and many officials say that by accepting this payment the agency has given up its claims to legally own the land. The OHA has vigorously disputed this.71. Which of the following is/are referred to as part ofHawaii 'n s ative minority?A. Hawaii 's ethnic groupsB. people of Filipino originC. the Ka Lahui groupD. people with 50% Hawaiian blood72. Which of the following statements is true of the Hawaiian natives?A. Sixty percent of them are homeless or unemployed.B. Their life span is 5 years shorter than average Americans.C. Their life is worse than that of other ethnic groups in Hawaii.D. They are the only native group without sovereignty.73. Which of the following is NOT true of John Waihee?A. He is Hawaii 's first native governor.B. He has set up a sovereignty advisory committee.C. He suggested the native people decide for themselves.D. He is leading the local independent movement.74. Which of the following groups holds a less radical attitude on the matter of sovereignty?A. American Indian natives.B. Office of Hawaiian Affairs.C. The Ka Lahui group.D. The Hawaiian natives.75. Various native Hawaiians demand all the following EXCEPT ______.A. a greater autonomy within the stateB. more back rent on the crown landC. a claim on the Hawaiian crown landD. full independence from the USPassage 3Birth Order/ A considerable body of research has dem on strated a correlation between birth order and aspects such as temperament and behavior, and some psychologists believe that birth order significantly affects the development of personality, Psychologist Alfred Adler was a pioneer in the study of the relationship between birth order and personality. A key point in his research and in the hypothesis that he developed based on it was that it was not the actua! numerical birth position that affected personality; instead, it was the similarresponses in large numbers of families to children in specific birth order positions that had an effect. For example, first-borns, who have their parents to themselves initially and do not have to deal with siblings in the first part of their lives, tend to have their firstsocialization experiences with adults and therefore tend to 佃d the process of peer socialization more difficult. In contrast, later-born children have to deal with siblings from the first moment of their lives and therefore tend to have stronger sociallzatlo n skills.2 Numerous studies since Adler's have b能n conducted on the effect of birth order andpersonality. These studies have tended to classify birth order types into four different categories: first-born, second-born and/or middle, last, and only child*.3 Studies have consistently shown that first-born children tend to exhibit simifar positive and negative personality traits. First-borns have consis怕ntly been linked with academic achievement in various studies; in one study, the number of National Merit scholarship winners who are first-borns was found to be equal to the number of second- andthird-borns combined First-borns have been found to be more responsible and assertive than those born in other birth-order positions and tend to rise to positions of leadership more often than others; more first-borns have served in the US Congress and as US presidents than have those bom in other birth-order positions. However, studies have shown that first七oms tend to be more subject to stress and were considered problem children more often than later-borns.4 Second-born and/or middle chifdren demonstrate markedly different tendencies from first-borns. They tend to feel inferior to the older child or children because it is difficult for them to comprehend that their lower level of achievement is a function of age rather than ability, and they often try to succeed in areas other than those in which their older sibling or siblings excel. They tend to be more trusting, accepting, and focused on others than the more self-centered first-borns, and they tend to have a comparatively higher level of success in team sports than do first-borns or only children, who more often excel in individual sports.The last-born child is the one who tends to be the eternal baby of the family and thus often exhibits a strong sense of security. Last-borns collectively achieve the highest degree of social success and demonstrate the highest levels of self-esteem of all the birth-order positions. They often exhibit less competitiveness than older brothers and sisters and are more likely to take part in less competitfve group games or in social organizations such as sororities and fraternities.Only children tend to exhibit some of the main characteristics of first-borns and some of the characteristics of last-borns. Only children tend to exhibit the strong sense of security and self-esteem exhibited by last-borns while, like first-borns, they are more achievement oriented and more likely than middle- or iast-borns to achieve academic success. However, only children tend to have the most problems establishing close relationships and exhibit a lower need for affiliation than other children.76. What is stated in paragraph 1 about Alder?A. He was one of the first to study the effect of birth order on personalityB. He believed that it was the actual numerical birth order that affected personality.C. He had found that the responses by family members had little to do with pers on alityD. He was the only one to study birth order.77. The author in cludes the idea tha—Fhese studies have ten ted to classify birth order types into four differe nt categories ||i n paragraph 2 in order to __ .A. announce what ideas will be prese nted in the follow ing paragraphsB. show how other studies differed from Adler'sC. explain how alder classified his workD. describe the various ways that differe nt studies have categorized birth order groups78. Which of the following is NOT true, according to the passage?A. First-borns tend to do well in in dividual sports.B. Middle children tend to have preference for team sports.C. Last-bor ns tend to prefer games with fierce competiti on.D. On ly childre n tend to prefer in dividual over team sports.79. The phrase -more achievement oriented II in the last paragraph is closest inmeaning to ____ .A. more directly invo IvedB. more focused on accomplishme ntsC. more skilled as leadersD. more aware of surro undings80. Which of the following would be most likely to have a successful career bufew close frie ndships?A. A seco nd-bornB. A middle childC. A last-bornD. An only childV. 英汉翻译（15%）81.
