1995年英语专业四级真题Passage AIf you are buying a property in France, whether for a permanent or a holiday home, it is important to open a French bank account. Although it is possible to exist on traveler’s cheques, Eurocheques and credit cards issued by British banks, the fees for these services can be expensive.The simplest way to pay regular bills, such as electricity, gas or telephone, particularly when you are not in residence, is by direct debit (a sum withdrawn form an account) from your French account.To open a current account, you will need to show your passport and birth certificate and to provide your address in the United Kingdom. You will be issued with a cheque book within weeks of opening the account. In France it is illegal to be overdrawn. All accounts must be operated in credit. However, there are no bank charges.Note that cheques take longer to clear in France than in Britain, and can only be stopped if stolen or lost.The easiest way to transfer money from a British bank account to a French one is by bank transfer: simply provide your British bank with the name, address and number or your French bank account. The procedure takes about a week and costs between ￡5 and ￡40 for each transaction, depending on your British bank. Alternatively, you can transfer money via a French bank in London. You can also send a sterling cheque (allow at least 12 days for the cheque to be cleared). Eurocheques or traveller’s cheques.Finally, it is a good idea to make a friend of your French bank manager. His help can prove invaluable.31.If you buy a property in France, you can save money by ______.A.having a French bank accountB.transferring money from BritainC.cashing traveller’s cheques or Eurochequesing credit cards issued by British banks32.One advantage French banks have over British banks is that ______.A.you may take out more money than is in the accountB.the interest rates on bank accounts are higherC.cheques are dealt with more rapidlyD.you do not have to pay for services33.The swiftest way to send money from England to France is ______.A.to forward an English cheque to your French bankB.to go to a French bank in LondonC.to use a cashier’s chequeD.to arrange a bank transfer34.The best title for this passage is _______.A.How to Open a French Bank AccountB.The Difference between Banking in Britain and FranceC.The Way to Transfer Money from Britain to FranceD.A Guide to Banking in FrancePassage BPROOF AGAINST HEART ATTACKSDoes a drink a day keep heart attacks away? Over the past 20 years, numerous studies have found that moderate alcohol consumption—say, one or two beers, glasses of wine or cocktails daily—helps to prevent coronary heart disease. Last week a report in the New England Journal of Medicine added strong new evidence in support of that theory. More important, the work provided the first solid indication of how alcohol works to protect the heart.In the study, researcher s from Boston’s Brigham and Women’s Hospital and Harvard Medical School compared the drinking habits of 340 men and women who had suffered recent heart attacks with those of healthy people of the same age and sex. The scientists found that people who sip one three drinks a day are about half as likely to suffer heart attacks as nondrinkers are. The apparent source of the protection: those who drank alcohol had higher blood levels of high-density lipoproteins, the so-called good cholesterol, which is known to repel heart disease. As evidence has mounted, some doctors have begun recommending a daily drink for patients of heart diseases. But most physicians are not ready to recommend a regular happy hour for everyone. The risks of teetotalling are nothing compared with the dangers of too much alcohol, including high blood pressure, strokes and liver troubles—not to mention violent behaviour and traffic accidents. Moreover, some studies suggest that even moderate drinking may increase the incidence of breast and colon cancer. Until there is evidence that the benefits of a daily dose of alcohol outweigh the risks, most people won’t be able to take a doctor’s prescription to the neighborhood bar or liquor store.35.The medical article quoted in the passage demonstrates ______.A.the way in which alcohol can help the heartB.how a couple of cocktails daily can stop heart problemsC.why alcoholic drinks are dangerous to one’s healthD.that reports on the advantages of alcohol were misfounded36.Experiments showed that nondrinkers had _______.rger amounts of good cholesterolB.smaller amounts of good cholesterolC.higher blood pressureD.lower blood pressure37.According to the passage, moderate drinking _______.A.is recommended by doctors for heart patientsB.should be allowed on prescriptionC.is still not medically advisableD.is not related to liver problems38.The main theme of this passage is _______.A.the change in recent drinking habitsB.the connection between cancer and alcoholC.whether moderate drinkers outlive nondrinkersD.whether alcohol may be good for your health Passage CRUN, RABBITS, RUNFrom Greenwich to The Mall is good sport for allIn its 13 years, the London Marathon has acquired a pedigree of excellence. That excellence is not just the awesome energy of the best runners and the smoothness of the organization, but also the quality of determination shown by all the competitors, male and female, able-bodied and disabled. When more than 26,000 gather atGreenwich tomorrow morning, only a few will be in the running to win the big prize money. The success of this event is that most of the athletes would be prepared to pay serious money just for the privilege of running the 26 miles 385 yards to the mall past the most famous urban scenery in the world.The London Marathon has become one of Britain’s leading sports events. Since 1981, something like 45 million has been raised in individual sponsorship for charities. Tomorrow hundreds of thousands of people will line the route to cheer and to gasp in sympathetic participation. Millions will watch on television. Although they will be excited by the struggle for first place, they will also identify with the ordinary person trying to fulfil his or her physical potential. Many spectators will wonder whether next year they could complete the historic distance. That is how athletic dreams are born.If the London Marathon and growth in physical fitness have transformed the lives of many adults, it is also important that children should have the opportunity to fulfil their ability in individual competitive sports.Team games should be an essential ingredient of physical education in the national curriculum. However, coexisting with the playing of team games there should be an equal emphasis on the importance of individual competitive sports at all levels in schools.The Government must be careful that in insisting on the value of team games in schools, it does not ignore the value of individual activities, which are practised throughout the world and form the basis of the Olympic Games. Many of the runners in the London Marathon tomorrow have found courage, fulfilment and fitness through training for the event. These are qualities that schoolchildren can, and should, acquire through a variety of demanding individual activities in physical education.39.In order to enter the Marathon, participants must _______.A.pay an entrance feeB.assemble in one specific areaC.be able to run 26 miles, 385 yardspete for the right to take part40.The main attraction of the Marathon for non-participants is _______.A.the amount of money raised for charityB.the chance to take part the following yearC.witnessing the contestants’ determinationD.a concern with the race’s history41.According to the passage, which of the following is true?A.Individual sports are as important as team games.B.Individual sports are more important than team games.C.Individual sports are less important than teams.D.It is hard to say which is less or more important.42.According to the writer, the Government’s policy on physical education ________.A.should not promote team games at allB.upholds the principles of the Olympic GamesC.is active in producing successful Marathon participantsD.should encourage those qualities by Marathon participantsPassage DNo Stopping Him: The Fast Man with a Fast CarOn the track, the form embodies power, each curve and line is moulded for speed.For the man at the wheel is the fastest athlete in the world today: Linford Christie. European, Commonwealth and World champion, who has just taken delivery of his new car, the latest version of the Toyota Supra.It is a conspicuously fast car. The result perfectly matches Christie’s own character, and shares his inability to compromise when it comes to delivering performance.The Supra, priced a few pence short of ￡39,000 is rumoured to be capable of 180 mph, but the speed is artificially limited to 155 mph. From a standing start, it can reach 60 mph in under five seconds.The Supra might raise Christie’s profile with the police, but if he is pulled over nowadays it is usually by an officer seeking a chat and an autograph rather than anything more official. After an incident in 1988 when he was stopped, he prosecuted the police and won ￡30,000 compensation for wrongful arrest.Safety is high on the list of Supra extras, with driver and passenger airbags; antilock braking; electronic traction control to avoid wheel-spin; side-impact door beams; and a steering column that collapses to protect the driver in an accident. Then there is the six-speed gearbox; cruise control; air-conditioning; alarm and immobilizer. Christie, the British athletics team captain since 1990, will enjoy the comfort of the Supra during a hectic few weeks this June and July when he visits Sheffield, Wales, Gateshead, Wrexham, Edinburgh, Crystal Palace, and then Gateshead again, as his season builds towards the Commonwealth Games in August and the World Cup in September.43.The Supra is a suitable car for Linford Christie because _______.A.it is an expensive modelB.it has high standardsC.it helps promote sportsD.it is very safe44.On the subject of speed, the car can travel ______.A.at a maximum of 180 mphB.at the same speed as the previous modelC.at a maximum of 155 mphD.faster than the previous model45.Nowadays if Christie is stopped by the police it is _______.A.because he drives very fastB.because he is not a thoughtful driverC.often for informal reasonsD.due to what happened in 198846.According to the writer the Supra’s most outstanding feature is its ______.A.six-speed gearboxB.alarm systemC.air conditioningD.safety featuresPart III Vocabulary (20 minutes)47.Most people can’t get _______ the day without at least one cup of tea or coffee.A.onB.throughC.overD.by48.He noticed the helicopter hovering over the field.

1995年专业四级真题答案
参考答案（1995）PART I WRITINGSECTION A COMPOSITIONOn College Students Taking Part-time JobsNowadays it has become fashionable for college students to take a part-time job in their spare time. In my opinion, this trend has both advantages and disadvantages.As we know, present-day college education is no longer free as it was a decade ago. The students need to pay a large sum of tuition. Some students come from poor rural areas while some others, through from cities, live under economic pressure because their parents are poorly paid or even laid off.By working part-time, those students with poor family background can more or less relieve the burden on their family. In addition, taking a part-time job can help the students know the society, develop their working ability, learn to cooperate with others, and so on.However, doing a part-time job can also do harm to the students. For example, some of them may find it hard to concentrate on their study when they come back from their work. Even worse, some working students give priority to the part-time job.In sum, doing part-time jobs has both merits and demerits for the college students. My suggestion to those who are determined to work part-time is that study always comes first.SECTION B NOTE-WRITINGDear schoolmates,I’m a four-year student from the English Department. In two weeks, I will graduate from this university. I’ve decided not to bring my bike with me when I leave. So I’d like to part with it, and sell it to someone who might need it. It is half new, dark and light. With curved bars, it is mainly for lady s use. As far as the price is concerned, I’d like to sell it for eighty yuan. Those interested can come and have a look at it before making a decision.Add: Room 402 Student Dormitory Building No. 5.Tel: 4445555xxxPART II DICTATIONUnidentified Flying ObjectsThere are many explanations for why UFOs exist on earth. The most popular one is that they may contain visitors from other planets. To fly such an aircraft the builders must develop different forms of aviation, because they seem to fly much faster than normal aircraft. The UFOs, it is believed, must contain scientists from other planets who are studying life on earth. It is even believed that several such aircraft may have landed on earth and the space visitors may be living among us. But there are also less fantastic explanations available. Although some sightings of UFO are difficult to explain, most can be explained quite easily. In many cases the observers might have made a mistake. They might have seen a weather balloon or an aircraft. Or the light they saw in the sky might have been light from the ground reflected onto the clouds. However, the exact cause of many sightings still remains a mystery.。

1995年全国硕士研究生入学统一考试英语试题Section ⅠUse of EnglishSleep is divided into periods of so-called REM sleep, characterized by rapid eye movements and dreaming, and longer periods of non-REM sleep. 1 kind of sleep is at all well-understood, but REM sleep is 2 to serve some restorative function of the brain. The purpose of non-REM sleep is even more 3 .

Each passage is followed by some questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked [A], [B],[C] and [D]. You should decide on the best choice and mark the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet with a single line through the centre.Passage AIf you are buying a property in France, whether for a permanent or a holiday home, it is important to open a French bank account. Although it is possible to exist on traveler’s cheques, Eurocheques and credit cards issued by British banks, the fees for these services can be expensive.The simplest way to pay regular bills, such as electricity, gas or telephone, particularly when you are not in residence, is by direct debit (a sum withdrawn form an account) from your Frenchaccount.To open a current account, you will need to show your passport and birth certificate and to provide your address in the United Kingdom. You will be issued with a cheque book within weeks of opening the account. In France it is illegal to be overdrawn. All accounts must be operated in credit. However, there are no bank charges.Note that cheques take longer to clear in France than in Britain, and can only be stopped if stolen or lost.The easiest way to transfer money from a British bank account to a French one is by bank transfer: simply provide your British bank with the name, address and number or your French bank account. The procedure takes about a week and costs between ￡5 and ￡40 for each transaction, depending on your British bank.Alternatively, you can transfer money via a French bank in London. You can also send a sterling cheque (allow at least 12 days for the cheque to be cleared). Eurocheques or traveller’s cheques.Finally, it is a good idea to make a friend of your French bank manager. His help can prove invaluable.31.If you buy a property in France, you can save money by ______.A.having a French bank accountB.transferring money from BritainC.cashing traveller’s cheques or Eurochequesing credit cards issued by British banks32.One advantage French banks have over British banks is that ______.A.you may take out more money than is in the accountB.the interest rates on bank accounts are higherC.cheques are dealt with more rapidlyD.you do not have to pay for services33.The swiftest way to send money from England to France is ______.A.to forward an English cheque to your French bankB.to go to a French bank in LondonC.to use a cashier’s chequeD.to arrange a bank transfer34.The best title for this passage is _______.A.How to Open a French Bank AccountB.The Difference between Banking in Britain and FranceC.The Way to Transfer Money from Britain to FranceD.A Guide to Banking in FrancePassage BPROOF AGAINST HEART ATTACKSDoes a drink a day keep heart attacks away? Over the past 20 years, numerous studies have found that moderate alcohol consumption—say, one or two beers, glasses of wine or cocktails daily—helps to prevent coronary heart disease. Last week a report in the New England Journal of Medicine added strong new evidence in support of that theory. More important, the work provided the first solid indication of how alcohol works to protect the heart.In the study, researchers from Boston’s Brigham and Women’s Hospital and Harvard Medical School compared the drinking habits of 340 men and women who had suffered recent heart attacks with those of healthy people of the same age and sex. The scientists found that people who sip one three drinks a day are about half as likely to suffer heart attacks as nondrinkers are. The apparent source of the protection: those who drank alcohol had higher blood levels of high-density lipoproteins, the so-called good cholesterol, which is known to repel heart disease.As evidence has mounted, some doctors have begun recommending a daily drink for patients of heart diseases. But most physicians are not ready to recommend a regular happy hour for everyone. The risks of teetotalling are nothing compared with the dangers of too much alcohol, including high blood pressure, strokes and liver troubles—not to mention violent behaviour and traffic accidents. Moreover, some studies suggest that even moderate drinking may increase the incidence of breast and colon cancer. Until there is evidence that the benefits of a daily dose of alcohol outweigh the risks, most people won’t be able to take a doctor’s prescription to the neighborhood bar or liquor store.35.The medical article quoted in the passage demonstrates ______.A.the way in which alcohol can help the heartB.how a couple of cocktails daily can stop heart problemsC.why alcoholic drinks are dangerous to one’s healthD.that reports on the advantages of alcohol were misfounded36.Experiments showed that nondrinkers had _______.rger amounts of good cholesterolB.smaller amounts of good cholesterolC.higher blood pressureD.lower blood pressure37.According to the passage, moderate drinking _______.A.is recommended by doctors for heart patientsB.should be allowed on prescriptionC.is still not medically advisableD.is not related to liver problems38.The main theme of this passage is _______.A.the change in recent drinking habitsB.the connection between cancer and alcoholC.whether moderate drinkers outlive nondrinkersD.whether alcohol may be good for your healthPassage CRUN, RABBITS, RUNFrom Greenwich to The Mall is good sport for allIn its 13 years, the London Marathon has acquired a pedigree of excellence. That excellence is not just the awesome energy of the best runners and the smoothness of the organization, but also the quality of determination shown by all the competitors, male and female, able-bodied and disabled. When more than 26,000 gather at Greenwich tomorrow morning, only a few will be in the running to win the big prize money. The success of this event is that most of the athletes would be prepared to pay serious money just for the privilege of running the 26 miles 385 yards to the mallpast the most famous urban scenery in the world.The London Marathon has become one of Britain’s leading sports events. Since 1981, something like 45 million has been raised in individual sponsorship for charities. Tomorrow hundreds of thousands of people will line the route to cheer and to gasp in sympathetic participation. Millions will watch on television. Although they will be excited by the struggle for first place, they will also identify with the ordinary person trying to fulfil his or her physical potential. Many spectators will wonder whether next year they could complete the historic distance. That is how athletic dreams are born.If the London Marathon and growth in physical fitness have transformed the lives of many adults, it is also important that children should have the opportunity to fulfil their ability in individual competitive sports.Team games should be an essential ingredient of physical education in the national curriculum. However, coexisting with the playing of team games there should be an equal emphasis on the importance of individual competitive sports at all levels in schools.The Government must be careful that in insisting on the value of team games in schools, it does not ignore the value of individual activities, which are practised throughout the world and form the basis of the Olympic Games. Many of the runners in the London Marathon tomorrow have found courage, fulfilment and fitness through training for the event. These are qualities that schoolchildren can, and should, acquire through a variety of demanding individual activities in physical education.39.In order to enter the Marathon, participants must _______.A.pay an entrance feeB.assemble in one specific areaC.be able to run 26 miles, 385 yardspete for the right to take part40.The main attraction of the Marathon for non-participants is _______.A.the amount of money raised for charityB.the chance to take part the following yearC.witnessing the contestants’ determinationD.a concern with the race’s history41.According to the passage, which of the following is true?A.Individual sports are as important as team games.B.Individual sports are more important than team games.C.Individual sports are less important than teams.D.It is hard to say which is less or more important.42.According to the writer, the Government’s policy on physical education ________.A.should not promote team games at allB.upholds the principles of the Olympic GamesC.is active in producing successful Marathon participantsD.should encourage those qualities by Marathon participantsPassage DNo Stopping Him: The Fast Man with a Fast CarOn the track, the form embodies power, each curve and line is moulded for speed.For the man at the wheel is the fastest athlete in the world today: Linford Christie. European, Commonwealth and World champion, who has just taken delivery of his new car, the latest version of the Toyota Supra.It is a conspicuously fast car. The result perfectly matches Christie’s own character, and shares his inability to compromise when it comes to delivering performance.The Supra, priced a few pence short of ￡39,000 is rumoured to be capable of 180 mph, but the speed is artificially limited to 155 mph. From a standing start, it can reach 60 mph in under five seconds.The Supra might raise Christie’s profile with the police, but if he is pulled over nowadays it is usually by an officer seeking a chat and an autograph rather than anything more official. After an incident in 1988 when he was stopped, he prosecuted the police and won ￡30,000 compensation for wrongful arrest.Safety is high on the list of Supra extras, with driver and passenger airbags; antilock braking; electronic traction control to avoid wheel-spin; side-impact door beams; and a steering column that collapses to protect the driver in an accident. Then there is the six-speed gearbox; cruise control; air-conditioning; alarm and immobilizer.Christie, the British athletics team captain since 1990, will enjoy the comfort of the Supra during a hectic few weeks this June and July when he visits Sheffield, Wales, Gateshead, Wrexham, Edinburgh, Crystal Palace, and then Gateshead again, as his season builds towards the Commonwealth Games in August and the World Cup in September.43.The Supra is a suitable car for Linford Christie because _______.A.it is an expensive modelB.it has high standardsC.it helps promote sportsD.it is very safe44.On the subject of speed, the car can travel ______.A.at a maximum of 180 mphB.at the same speed as the previous modelC.at a maximum of 155 mphD.faster than the previous model45.Nowadays if Christie is stopped by the police it is _______.A.because he drives very fastB.because he is not a thoughtful driverC.often for informal reasonsD.due to what happened in 198846.According to the writer the Supra’s most outstanding feature is its ______.A.six-speed gearboxB.alarm systemC.air conditioningD.safety featuresPart III Vocabulary (20 minutes)Directions: There are 30 incomplete sentences in this part.

And someone with a history of doing more rather than less will go into old age more cognitively sound than someone who has not had an active mind.Many experts are so convinced of the benefits of challenging the brain that they are putting, the theory to work in their own lives. "The idea is not necessarily to learn to memorize enormous amounts of information." says James Fozard, associate director of the national Institute on Aging. "Most of us don#39;t need that kind of skill. Such specific training is of less interest than being able to maintain mental alertness." Fozard and others say they challenge their brains with different mental skill, both because they enjoy them and because they are sure that their range of activities will help the way their brains work.Gene Cohen, acting director of the same institute, suggests that people in their old age should engage in mental and physical activities individually as well as in groups. Cohen says that we are frequently advised to keep physically active as we age, but older people need to keep mentally active as well. Those who do are more likely to maintain their intellectual abilities and to begenerally happier and better adjusted. "The point is, you need to do both," Cohen says. "Intellectual activity influences brain-cell health and size."21. People who are cognitively healthy are those _____.(A) who can remember large amounts of information (C) whose minds are alert and receptive(B) who are highly intelligent (D) who are good at recognizing different sounds22. According to Fozard#39;s argument people can make their brains work more efficiently by _____.(A) constantly doing memory work (C) going through specific training(B) taking part in various mental activities (D) making frequent adjustments23. The findings of James and other scientists in their work _____.(A) remain a theory to be further proved (C) have been challenged by many other experts(B) have been generally accepted (D) are practiced by the researchers themselves24. Older people are generally advised to _____.(A) keep fit by going in for physical activities(B) keep mentally active by challenging their brains(C) maintain mental alertness through specific training(D) maintain a balance between individual and group activities25. What is the passage mainly about?(A) How biochemical changes occur in the human brain.(B) Why people should keep active not only physically but also mentally.(C) How intellectual activities influence brain-cell health.(D) Why people should receive special mental training as they age.Passage TwoQuestions 26 to 30 are based on the following passage.Attention to detail is something everyone can and should do--especially in a tight job market. Bob Crossley, a human-resources expert notices this in the job applications that come across his desk every day. "It#39;s amazing how many candidates eliminate themselves." he says.Resume (简历) arrive with stains. Some candidates don#39;t bother to spell the company#39;s name correctly. Once I see a mistake, I eliminate the candidate," Crossley concludes. "If they cannot take of these details, why should we trust them with a job?"Can we pay too much attention to detail? Absolutely. Perfectionists struggle over little things at the cost of something larger they work toward, "To keep from losing the forest for the trees", says Charles Garfield, associate professor at the University of California, San Francisco, "We must constantly ask ourselves how the details we#39;re working on fit into the larger picture. If they don#39;t, we should drop them and move to something else".Garfield compares this process to his work as a computer scientist at NASA. "The Apollo II moon launch was slightly off-course 90 percent of the time." Says Garfield, "But a successful landing was still likely because we knew the exact coordinates of our goal. This allowed us to make adjustments as necessary." Knowing where we want to go helps us judge the importance of every task we undertake.Too often we believe what accounts for others#39; success is some special secret or a lucky break (机遇). But rarely is success so mysterious. Again and again, we see that by doing little things within our grasp well, large rewards follow.26. According to the passage, some job applicants were rejected _____.(A) because of their carelessness as shown in their failure to present a clean copy of a resume(B) because of their inadequate education as shown in their poor spelling in writing a resume(C) because they failed to give detailed description of their background in their applications(D) because they eliminated their names from the applicants#39; list themselves27. The word "perfectionists" (para. 3, Line) refers to those who _____.(A) demand others to get everything absolutely right(B) know how to adjust their goals according to the circumstances(C) pay too much attention to details only to lose their major objectives(D) are capable of achieving perfect results in whatever they do28. Which of the following is the author#39;s device to the reader?(A) Although too much attention to details may be costly, they should not be overlooked(B) Don#39;t forget details when drawing pictures(C) Be aware of the importance of a task before undertaking it(D) Careless applicants are not to be trusted29. The example of the Apollo II moon launch is given to illustrate that _____.(A) minor mistakes can be ignored in achieving major objectives(B) failure is the mother of success(C) adjustments are the key to the successful completion of any work(D) keeping one#39;s goal in mind helps in deciding which details can be overlooked30. The best title for this passage would be _____.(A) Don#39;t Be a Perfectionist (C) Details and Major Objectives(B) Importance of Adjustments (D) Hard Work Plus Good LuckPassage ThreeQuestions 31 to 35 are based on the following passage.Britain almost more than any other country in the world must seriously face the problem of building upwards, that is to say, of accommodating a considerable proportion of its population in high blocks of flats. It is said that the English man objects to this type of existence, but if the case is such, he does in fact differ from the inhabitants of most countries of the world today. In the past our own blocks of flats have been associated with the lower-income groups and they have lacked the obvious provisions, such as central heating, constant hot water supply, electrically operated lifts from top to bottom, and so on, as well as such details, important notwithstanding (然而), as easy facilities for disposal of dust and rubbish and storage places for baby carriages in the ground floor, playgrounds for children on the topof the buildings, and drying grounds for washing. It is likely that the dispute regarding flats versus (对，对抗) individual houses will continue to rage on for a long time as far as Britain is concerned. And it is unfortunate that there should be hot feelings on both sides whenever this subject is raised. Those who oppose the building of flats base their case primarily on the assumption (设想) that everyone prefers an individual home and on the high cost per unit of accommodation. The latter ignores the higher cost of providing full services to a scattered community and the cost in both money and time of the journeys to work for the suburban resident.31. We can infer from the passage that _____.(A) English people, like most people in other countries, dislike living in flats(B) people in most countries of the world today are not opposed to living in flats(C) people in Britain are forced to move into high blocks of flats(D) modern flats still fail to provide the necessary facilities for living32. What is said about blocks of flats built in the past in Britain?(A) They were mostly inhabited by people who did not earn much.(B) They were usually not large enough to accommodate big families.(C) They were sold to people before necessary facilities were installed.(D) They provided playgrounds for children on the top of the buildings.33. The word "rage" (Line 9) means _____.(A) be ignored (C) encourage people greatly(B) develop with great force (D) be in fashion34. Some people oppose the building of flats because _____.(A) the living expenses for each individual family are higher(B) it involves higher cost compared with the building of houses(C) they believe people like to live in houses with gardens(D) the disposal of rubbish remains a problem for those living in flats35. The author mentions that people who live in suburban houses _____.(A) do not have access to easy facilities because they live away from the city(B) have to pay a lot of money to employ people to do service work(C) take longer time to know each other because they are a scattered community(D) have to spend more money and time travelling to work every dayPassage FourQuestions 36 to 40 are based on the following passage.Where do pesticides (杀虫剂) fit into the picture of environmental disease? We have seen that they now pollute soil, water and food, that they have the power to make our streams fishless and our gardens and woodlands silent and birdless. Man, however much he may like to pretend the contrary, is part of nature. Can he escape a pollution that is now so thoroughly distributed throughout our world:We know that even single exposures to these chemicals, ifthe amount is large enough, can cause extremely severe poisoning. But this is not the major problem. The sudden illness or death of farmers, farmworkers, and others exposed to sufficient quantities of pesticides is very sad and should not occur. For the population as a whole, we must be more concerned with the delayed effects of absorbing small amounts of the pesticides that invisibly pollute our world.Responsible public health officials have pointed out that the biological effects of chemicals are cumulative (累积) over long periods of time, and that the danger to individual may depend on the sum of the exposures received throughout his lifetime. For these very reasons the danger is easily ignored. It is human nature to shake off what may seem to us a threat of future disaster. "Men are naturally most impressed by diseases which have obvious signs, " says a wise physician, Dr Rene Dubos, "yet some of their worst enemies slowly approach them unnoticed."36. Which of the following is closest in meaning to the sentence "Man... is part of nature" (Para. 1, Lines 3-4)?(A) Man appears indifferent to what happens in nature.(B) Man acts as if he does not belong to nature.(C) Man can avoid the effects of environmental pollution.(D) Man can escape his responsibilities for environmental effects of pesticides?37. What is the author#39;s attitude toward the environmental effects of pesticides?(A) Pessimistic (C) Defensive(B) Indifferent (D) Concerned38. In the author#39;s view, the sudden death caused by exposure to large amounts of pesticides _____.(A) is not the worst of the negative consequences resultingfrom the use of pesticides(B) now occurs most frequently among all accidental deaths(C) has sharply increased so as to become the center of public attention(D) is unavoidable because people can#39;t do without pesticides in farming39. People tend to ignore the delayed effects of exposure to chemical because _____.(A) limited exposure to them does little harm to people#39;s health(B) the present is more important for them than the future(C) the danger does not become apparent immediately(D) humans are capable of withstanding small amounts of poisoning40. It can be concluded from Dr. Dubos remarks that _____.(A) people find invisible diseases difficult to deal with(B) attacks by hidden enemies tend to be fatal(C) diseases with obvious signs are easy to cure(D) people tend to overlook hidden dangers caused by pesticidesPart III Vocabulary and Structure (20 minutes)41.

(d) book knowledge.part ii reading comprehension ( 35 minutes)passage onequestions 21 to 25 are based on the following passage.people tend to be more impressed by evidence that seems to confirm some relationship. thus many are convinced their dreams are prophetic (预言的) because a few have come true; they fail to notice the many that have not. consider also the belief that "the phone always rings when i'm in the shower." if it does ring while you are in the shower, the event will stand out and be remembered. if it doesn't ring, that nonevent probably won't even register （留下印象）.people want to see order, pattern and meaning in the world. consider, for example, the common belief that things like personal misfortunes, plane crashes, and deaths "happen inthrees." such beliefs stem from the tendency of people to allow the third event to define the time period. if three plane crashes occur in a month, then the period of time that counts as their "happening together" is one month; if three crashes occur in a year, the period of time is stretched. flexible end points reinforce such beliefs.[page]we also tend to believe what we want to believe. a majority of people think they are more intelligent, more fair-minded and more skilled behind the wheel of an automobile than the average person. part of the reason we view ourselves so favorably is that we use criteria that work to our advantage. as economist thomas schelling explains, "everybody ranks himself high in qualities he values: careful drivers give weight to care, skilled drivers give weight to skill, and those whoare polite give weight to courtesy, " this way everyone ranks high on his own scale.perhaps the most important mental habit we can learn is to be cautious (谨慎的) in drawingconclusions. the "evidence " of everyday life is sometimes misleading.21. in the first paragraph the author states that ____ .(a) dreams cannot be said to be prophetic even though a few have come true.(b) dreams are prophetic because some of them did come true.(c) dreams may come true if clearly remembered.(d) dreams and reality are closely related.22. by "things like ..." "happen in threes" (para. 3, line 2), the author indicates that people believe ____ .(a) personal misfortunes tend to happen every now and then.(b) personal misfortunes, plane crashes, and deaths usually happen together.(c) misfortunes tend to occur according to certain patterns.(d) misfortunes will never occur more than three times to a person in his lifetime.23. ten word "courtesy" (para. 4, line 6) probably means ____.(a) good manners. (b) appropriate speech.(c) friendly relations. (d)satisfactory service.24. what can be inferred from the passage? ____(a) happenings that go unnoticed deserve more attention.(b) in a series of misfortunes the third one is usually the most serious.(c) people tend to make use of evidence that supports their own beliefs.(d) believers of misfortunes happening in threes are cautious in interpreting events.25. it can be concluded from the passage that ____ .(a) there is some truth even in the wildest dreams.(b) one should take notice of other people's merits.(c) there is no order or pattern in world events.(d) we should not base our conclusions on accidental evidence.passage twoquestions 26 to 30 are based on the following passage.it has been thought and said that africans are born with musical talent. because music is so important in the lives of many africans and because so much music is performed in africa, we are inclined to think that africans are musicians. the impression is strengthened when we look at ourselves and find that we havebecome largely a society of musical spectators (旁观). music is important to us, but most of us can be considered consumers rather than producers of music. we have records, television, concerts, and radio to fulfill many of our musical needs. in most situations where music is performed in our culture it is not difficult to distinguish the audience from the performers, but such is often not the case in africa. alban ayipaga, a kasena semiprofessional musician from northern ghana, says that when his flute (长笛) and drum ensemble (歌舞团) is performing. "anybody can take part". this is true , but kasena musicians recognize that not all people are equally capable of taking part in the music. some can sing along with the drummers, but relatively few can drum and even fewer can play the flute along with the ensemble. it is fairly common in africa for there to be an ensemble of expert musicians surrounded by others who join in by clapping, singing, or somehow adding to the totality of musical sound. performances often take place in an open area (that is, not on a stage) and so the lines between the performing nucleus and the additional performers, active spectators, and passive spectators may be difficult to draw from our point of view.26. the difference between us and africans, as far as music is concerned, is that _____.(a) most of us are consumers while most of them are producers of music(b) we are musical performers and they are semiprofessional musicians [page](c) most of us are passive spectators while they are active spectators.(d) we are the audience and they are the additional performers.27. the word "such" (line 6) refers to the fact that ______.(a) music is performed with the participation of the audience(b) music is performed without the participation of the audience(c) people tend to distinguish the audience from the performers(d) people have records, television sets and radio to fulfill their musical needs28. the author of the passage implies that _____.(a) all africans are musical and therefore much music is performed in africa(b) not all africans are born with musical talent although music is important in their lives(c) most africans are capable of joining in the music by playing musical instruments(d) most africans perform as well as professional musicians29. the word "nucleus" (line 13) probably refers to _____.(a) musicians famous in africa(b) musicians at the center of attention(c) musicians acting as the core in a performance(d) active participants in a musical performance30. the best title for this passage would be ______.(a) the importance of music to african people(b) differences between african music and music of other countries(c) the relationship between musicians and their audience(d) a characteristic feature of african musical performancespassage threequestions 31 to 35 are based on the following passage.most people would agree that, although our age exceeds allprevious ages in knowledge, there has been no corresponding increase in wisdom. but agreement ceases as soon as we attempt to define "wisdom" and consider means of promoting it.there are several factors that contribute to wisdom. of these i should put first a sense of proportion: the capacity to take account of all the important factors in a problem and to attach to each its due weight. this has become more difficult than it used to be owing to the extent and complexity of the special knowledge required of various kinds of technicians. suppose, for example, that you are engaged in research in scientific medicine. the work is difficult and is likely to absorb the whole of your mind. you have no time to consider the effect which your discoveries or inventions may have outside the field of medicine. you succeed (let us say) as modern medicine has succeeded, in enormously lowering the infant death-rate, not only in europe and america, but also in asia and africa. this has the entirely unintended result of making the food supply inadequate and lowing the standard of life in the parts of the world that have the greatest populations. to take an even more dramatic example, which is in everybody's mind at the present time; you study the makeup of the atom from a disinterested (无利害关系的) desire for knowledge, and by chance place in the hands of a powerful mad man the means of destroying the human race.therefore, with every increase of knowledge and skill, wisdom becomes more necessary, for every such increase augments (增强)our capacity for realizing our purposes, and therefore augments our capacity for evil, if our purpose are unwise.。

During that time students live either with a British family, or at the school, or in a hotel. They have about 15 hours of lessons every Monday to Friday, usually in the mornings. Each school has a lot ofdifferent courses. Some are for beginners and others are for intermediate or advanced students. The lessons are fun; the classes are small and the teachers are all from English-speaking countries. But summer school students don`t just speak English in the classroom. They are in Britain, so they speak and read and hear it outside, too. That`s why they learn so quickly and why a summer school course is really a holiday. Only one third of each course is taught in the classroom. The rest takes place during a busy afternoon and evening timetable of visits, sports and games. These activities help everyone to make new friends, have fun and improve their English.Questions 11 to 13 are based on the passage you have just heard.11. What kind of course do summer schools offer?12. Why do summer schools arrange visits and other activities for the students?13. Why do students in summer schools learn quickly?Passage Two：This library is an English language teaching and learning library. Unfortunately our resources are limited and so not everyone can join. Teachers of English, university students and professionals who are in the medical, engineering and management fields can all join the library. Those from other professions are welcome to apply. But your application will not necessarily be approved. You must fill in a library application form and put it in the box on the libranrian`s desk.Because of the high number of applications we receive each week, you must wait one week. Please bring your student or work cards to pick up your library cards. Library application forms which are not picked up within 2 months will be discarded and you will have to reapply.You may borrow one video at a time. The video must be returned in one week. If you can not return it one time, please call. Otherwise your video library card will be cancelled. You may borrow 3 items at one time. That is 3 books or 3 cassettes. Items must be returned within 1 month. You can telephone the library to renew items for another month.Questions 14 to 16 are based on the passage you have just heard.14.

It is quite different from ordinary ice which is simply frozen water. Dry ice was first manufactured in 1925. It has since fulfilled the hopes of its inventor. It can be used for making artificial fog in the movies. When steam is passed over dry ice, a very dense vapor rises. It can also be used for destroying insects in grain supplies. It is more practical than ordinary ice because it takes up less space and it is 142 degrees colder. Since it turns into steam, instead of melting into water, it is cleaner to use. For these reasons, it is extremely popular and many people prefer it to ordinary ice. Dry ice is so cold that if you touch it with your hare fingers, it will burn you.Questions 17 to 20 are based on the passage you have just heard.17. What is dry ice made of?18. How is an artificial fog made in the movies?19. What is the advantage of dry ice over ordinary ice?20. When was dry ice first made?。

1.General structure●Beginning/cause●Development of the plot/several sections on the basis of a complete bit of content,●Ending/solution2．Notes based on pictures1999There was once an eager student who wanted to gain wisdom and knowledge. He went to the wisest man in the town, Socritis, to seek advice.Socritis was an old man who was a famous Greek philosopher. He had greatknowledge of many things. The boy went to ask the old man how he too could acquire such knowledge.Bing a man of few words, Socritis chose not to speak, but to illustrate.He took the child to the beach and with all his clothes still on, walked straight out into the water. He loved to do curious things like that especially when he was trying to prove a point. The pupil hesitated to follow his instruction, and walked into the sea, joining Socritis where the water was just below their chins. Without saying a word, Socritis reached out and put his hand on the boy’s shoulders. Looking deep into the student’s eyes, Socritis pushed the student head under the water with all his might. A struggle happened, and just before a life was taken away, Socritis let the boy go. The boy raised to the surface, and gasping for air, choking from the salt water, looked around for Socritis in order to seek his revenge.To the student’s confusion, the old man was already patiently waiting on the beach. When the student arrived on the sand, he angrily shouted, “Why did you try to kill me?” The wise men didn’t answer the boy’s question. Instead, he asked the boy a question if his own, “Boy, when you were underneath the water, not sure if you would live to see another day, what did you want more than anything in the world?”The students took a few moments to think and said softly, “I wanted to breathe.”Socritis looked at the boy with a huge smile, and said, “Ah, when you want wisdom and knowledge as badly as you wanted to breathe, it is then that you shall have it. ”2002 TEM4 Oral English Test PaperTask I: Listen to the recorded passage twice and then retell it.Whenever Mr. Smith goes to Westgate, he stays at the Grand Hotel. In spite of its name, it is really not very "grand," but it is cheap, clean, and comfortable. Since he knows the manager well, he never has to go to the trouble of reserving a room. The fact is that he always gets the same room. It is situated at the far end of the buildingand overlooks a beautiful bay.On his last visit, Mr. Smith was told that he could have his usual room, but the manager added apologetically that it might be a little noisy. So great was the demand for rooms, the manager said, that the hotel had decided to build a new wing. Mr. Smith said he did not mind. It amused him to think that the dear old Grand Hotel was making an effort to live up to its name.During the first day Mr. Smith hardly noticed the noise at all. The room was a little dusty, but that was natural. The following afternoon, he borrowed a book from the hotel library and went upstairs to read. No sooner had he sat down than he heard someone hammering loudly at the wall. At first he paid no attention, but after a while he began to feel very uncomfortable. His clothes were slowly being covered with fine white powder. Soon there was so much dust in the room that he began to cough. The hammering was now louder than ever and bits of plaster were coming away from the walls. It looked as though the whole building was going to fall. Mr. Smith went immediately to complain to the manager. They both returned to the room, but everything was very quiet. As they stood there looking at each other, Mr. Smith felt rather embarrassed for having dragged the manager all the way up the stairs for nothing. All of a sudden, the hammering began again and a large brick landed on the floor. Looking up, they saw a sharp metal tool had forced its way through the wall, making a very large hole right above the bed!

(D) In the 1950's.Part II Reading Comprehension (35 minutes)Passage OneQuestions 21 to 25 are based on the following passage.Researchers have established that when people are mentally engaged, biochemical changes occur in the brain that allow it to act more effectively in cognitive (认知的) areas such as attention and memory. This is true regardless of age.People will be alert (警觉的) and receptive (接受能力强的) if they are faced with information that gets them to think about things they are interested in. And someone with a history of doing more rather than less will go into old age more cognitively sound than someone who has not had an active mind.Many experts are so convinced of the benefits of challenging the brain that they are putting, the theory to work in their own lives. "The idea is not necessarily to learn to memorize enormous amounts of information." says James Fozard, associate director of the national Institute on Aging. "Most of us don't need that kind of skill. Such specific training is of less interest than being able to maintain mental alertness." Fozard and others say they challenge their brains with different mental skill, both because they enjoy them and because they are sure that their range of activities will help the way their brains work.Gene Cohen, acting director of the same institute, suggests that people in their old age should engage in mental and physical activities individually as well as in groups. Cohen says that we are frequently advised to keep physically active as we age, but older people need to keep mentally active as well. Those who do are more likely to maintain their intellectual abilities and to be generally happier and better adjusted. "The point is, you need to do both," Cohen says. "Intellectual activity influences brain-cell health and size."21)People who are cognitively healthy are those _____.(A) who can remember large amounts of information (C) whose minds are alert and receptive(B) who are highly intelligent (D) who are good at recognizing different sounds22)According to Fozard's argument people can make their brains work more efficiently by_____.(A) constantly doing memory work (C) going through specific training(B) taking part in various mental activities (D) making frequent adjustments23)The findings of James and other scientists in their work _____.(A) remain a theory to be further proved (C) have been challenged by many other experts(B) have been generally accepted (D) are practiced by the researchers themselves24)Older people are generally advised to _____.(A) keep fit by going in for physical activities(B) keep mentally active by challenging their brains(C) maintain mental alertness through specific training(D) maintain a balance between individual and group activities25)What is the passage mainly about?(A) How biochemical changes occur in the human brain.(B) Why people should keep active not only physically but also mentally.(C) How intellectual activities influence brain-cell health.(D) Why people should receive special mental training as they age.Passage TwoQuestions 26 to 30 are based on the following passage.Attention to detail is something everyone can and should do--especially in a tight job market. Bob Crossley, a human-resources expert notices this in the job applications that come across his desk every day. "It's amazing how many candidates eliminate themselves." he says.Resume (简历) arrive with stains. Some candidates don't bother to spell the company's name correctly. Once I see a mistake, I eliminate the candidate," Crossley concludes. "If they cannot take of these details, why should we trust them with a job?"Can we pay too much attention to detail? Absolutely. Perfectionists struggle over little things at the cost of something larger they work toward, "To keep from losing the forest for the trees", says Charles Garfield, associate professor at the University of California, San Francisco, "We must constantly ask ourselves how the details we're working on fit into the larger picture. If they don't, we should drop them and move to something else".Garfield compares this process to his work as a computer scientist at NASA. "The Apollo II moon launch was slightly off-course 90 percent of the time." Says Garfield, "But a successful landing was still likely because we knew the exact coordinates of our goal. This allowed us to make adjustments as necessary." Knowing where we want to go helps us judge the importance of every task we undertake.Too often we believe what accounts for others' success is some special secret or a lucky break (机遇). But rarely is success so mysterious.

It is said that the English man objects to this type of existence, but if the case is such, he does in fact differ from the inhabitants of most countries of the world today. In the past our own blocks of flats have been associated with the lower-income groups and they have lacked the obvious provisions, such as central heating, constant hot water supply, electrically operated lifts from top to bottom, and so on, as well as such details, important notwithstanding (然而), as easy facilities for disposal of dust and rubbish and storage places for baby carriages in the ground floor, playgrounds for children on the top of the buildings, and drying grounds for washing. It is likely that the dispute regarding flats versus (对，对抗) individual houses will continue to rage on for a long time as far as Britain is concerned. And it is unfortunate that there should be hot feelings on both sides whenever this subject is raised. Those who oppose the building of flats base their case primarily on the assumption (设想) that everyone prefers an individual home and on the high cost per unit of accommodation. The latter ignores the higher cost of providing full services to a scattered community and the cost in both money and time of the journeys to work for the suburban resident.31)We can infer from the passage that _____.(A) English people, like most people in other countries, dislike living in flats(B) people in most countries of the world today are not opposed to living in flats(C) people in Britain are forced to move into high blocks of flats(D) modern flats still fail to provide the necessary facilities for living32)What is said about blocks of flats built in the past in Britain?(A) They were mostly inhabited by people who did not earn much.(B) They were usually not large enough to accommodate big families.(C) They were sold to people before necessary facilities were installed.(D) They provided playgrounds for children on the top of the buildings.33)The word "rage" (Line 9) means _____.(A) be ignored (C) encourage people greatly(B) develop with great force (D) be in fashion34)Some people oppose the building of flats because _____.(A) the living expenses for each individual family are higher(B) it involves higher cost compared with the building of houses(C) they believe people like to live in houses with gardens(D) the disposal of rubbish remains a problem for those living in flats35)The author mentions that people who live in suburban houses _____.(A) do not have access to easy facilities because they live away from the city(B) have to pay a lot of money to employ people to do service work(C) take longer time to know each other because they are a scattered community(D) have to spend more money and time travelling to work every dayPassage FourQuestions 36 to 40 are based on the following passage.Where do pesticides (杀虫剂) fit into the picture of environmental disease? We have seen that they now pollute soil, water and food, that they have the power to make our streams fishless and our gardens and woodlands silent and birdless. Man, however much he may like to pretend the contrary, is part of nature. Can he escape a pollution that is now so thoroughly distributed throughout our world:We know that even single exposures to these chemicals, if the amount is large enough, can cause extremely severe poisoning. But this is not the major problem. The sudden illness or death of farmers, farmworkers, and others exposed to sufficient quantities of pesticides is very sad and should not occur. For the population as a whole, we must be more concerned with the delayed effects of absorbing small amounts of the pesticides that invisibly pollute our world. Responsible public health officials have pointed out that the biological effects of chemicals are cumulative (累积) over long periods of time, and that the danger to individual may depend on the sum of the exposures received throughout his lifetime. For these very reasons the danger is easily ignored. It is human nature to shake off what may seem to us a threat of future disaster. "Men are naturally most impressed by diseases which have obvious signs, " says a wise physician, Dr Rene Dubos, "yet some of their worst enemies slowly approach them unnoticed."36)Which of the following is closest in meaning to the sentence "Man... is part of nature" (Para.1, Lines 3-4)?(A) Man appears indifferent to what happens in nature.(B) Man acts as if he does not belong to nature.(C) Man can avoid the effects of environmental pollution.(D) Man can escape his responsibilities for environmental effects of pesticides?37)What is the author's attitude toward the environmental effects of pesticides?(A) Pessimistic (C) Defensive(B) Indifferent (D) Concerned38)In the author's view, the sudden death caused by exposure to large amounts of pesticides_____.(A) is not the worst of the negative consequences resulting from the use of pesticides(B) now occurs most frequently among all accidental deaths(C) has sharply increased so as to become the center of public attention(D) is unavoidable because people can't do without pesticides in farming39)People tend to ignore the delayed effects of exposure to chemical because _____.(A) limited exposure to them does little harm to people's health(B) the present is more important for them than the future(C) the danger does not become apparent immediately(D) humans are capable of withstanding small amounts of poisoning40)It can be concluded from Dr. Dubos remarks that _____.(A) people find invisible diseases difficult to deal with(B) attacks by hidden enemies tend to be fatal(C) diseases with obvious signs are easy to cure(D) people tend to overlook hidden dangers caused by pesticidesPart III Vocabulary and Structure (20 minutes)41)I would appreciate _____ it a secret.(A) your keeping (C) that you keep(B) you to

1995年01月英语四级试题（阅读）2
Passage TwoQuestions 26 to 30 are based on the following passage.It has been thought and said that Africans are born with musical talent. Because music is so important in the lives of many Africans and because so much music is performed in Africa, we are inclined to think that Africans are musicians. The impression is strengthened when we look at ourselves and find that we have become largely a society of musical spectators (旁观). Music is important to us, but most of us can be considered consumers rather than producers of music. We have records, television, concerts, and radio to fulfill many of our musical needs. In most situations where music is performed in our culture it is not difficult to distinguish the audience from the performers, but such is often not the case in Africa. Alban Ayipaga, a Kasena semiprofessional musician from northern Ghana, says that when his flute (长笛) and drum ensemble (歌舞团) is performing. "Anybody can take part". This is true , but Kasena musicians recognize that not all people are equally capable of taking part in the music. Some can sing along with the drummers, but relatively few can drum and even fewer can play the flute along with the ensemble. It is fairly common in Africa for there to be an ensemble of expert musicians surrounded by others who join in by clapping, singing, or somehow adding to the totality of musical sound. Performances often take place in an open area (that is, not on a stage) and so the lines between the performing nucleus and the additional performers, active spectators, and passive spectators may be difficult to draw from our point of view.26. The difference between us and Africans, as far as music is concerned, is that _____.(A) most of us are consumers while most of them are producers of music(B) we are musical performers and they are semiprofessional musicians(C) most of us are passive spectators while they are active spectators.(D) we are the audience and they are the additional performers.27. The word "such" (Line 6) refers to the fact that ______.(A) music is performed with the participation of the audience(B) music is performed without the participation of the audience(C) people tend to distinguish the audience from the performers(D) people have records, television sets and radio to fulfill their musical needs28. The author of the passage implies that _____.(A) all Africans are musical and therefore much music is performed in Africa(B) not all Africans are born with musical talent although music is important in their lives(C) most Africans are capable of joining in the music by playing musical instruments(D) most Africans perform as well as professional musicians29. The word "nucleus" (Line 13) probably refers to _____.(A) musicians famous in Africa(B) musicians at the center of attention(C) musicians acting as the core in a performance(D) active participants in a musical performance30. The best title for this passage would be ______.(A) The Importance of Music to African People(B) Differences Between African Music and Music of Other Countries(C) The Relationship Between Musicians and Their Audience(D) A Characteristic Feature of African Musical PerformancesPassage ThreeQuestions 31 to 35 are based on the following passage.Most people would agree that, although our age exceeds all previous ages in knowledge, there has been no corresponding increase in wisdom. But Agreement ceases as soon as we attempt to define "wisdom" and consider means of promoting it.There are several factors that contribute to wisdom. Of these I should put first a sense of proportion: the capacity to take account of all the important factors in a problem and to attach to each its due weight. This has become more difficult than it used to be owing to the extent and complexity of the special knowledge required of various kinds of technicians. Suppose,for example, that you are engaged in research in scientific medicine. The work is difficult and is likely to absorb the whole of your mind. You have no time to consider the effect which your discoveries or inventions may have outside the field of medicine. You succeed (let us say) as modern medicine has succeeded, in enormously lowering the infant death -rate, not only in Europe and America, but also in Asia and Africa. This has the entirely unintended result of making the food supply inadequate and lowing the standard of life in the parts of the world that have the greatest populations. To take an even more dramatic example, which is in everybody’s mind at the present time; you study the makeup of the atom from a disinterested (⽆利害关系的) desire for knowledge, and by chance place in the hands of a powerful mad man the means of destroying the human race.Therefore, with every increase of knowledge and skill, wisdom becomes more necessary, for every such increase augments (增强) our capacity for realizing our purposes, and therefore augments our capacity for evil, if our purpose are unwise.。

(d) book knowledge.part ii reading comprehension ( 35 minutes)passage onequestions 21 to 25 are based on the following passage.people tend to be more impressed by evidence thatseems to confirm some relationship. thus many are convinced their dreams are prophetic (预言的) because a few have come true; they fail to notice the many that have not. consider also the belief that "the phone always rings when i'm in the shower." if it does ring while you are in the shower, the event will stand out and be remembered. if it doesn't ring, that nonevent probably won't even register （留下印象）.people want to see order, pattern and meaning in the world. consider, for example, the common belief that things like personal misfortunes, plane crashes, and deaths "happen in threes." such beliefs stem from the tendency of people to allow the third event to define the time period. if three plane crashes occur in a month, then the period of time that counts as their "happening together" is one month; if three crashes occur in a year, the period of time is stretched. flexible end points reinforce such beliefs.[page]we also tend to believe what we want to believe. a majority of people think they are more intelligent, more fair-minded and more skilled behind the wheel of an automobile than the average person. part of the reason we view ourselves so favorably is that we use criteria that work toour advantage. as economist thomas schelling explains, "everybody ranks himself high in qualitieshe values: careful drivers give weight to care, skilled drivers give weight to skill, and those whoare polite give weight to courtesy, " this way everyone ranks high on his own scale.perhaps the most important mental habit we can learn is to be cautious (谨慎的) in drawingconclusions. the "evidence " of everyday life is sometimes misleading.21. in the first paragraph the author states that ____ .(a) dreams cannot be said to be prophetic even though a few have come true.(b) dreams are prophetic because some of them did come true.(c) dreams may come true if clearly remembered.(d) dreams and reality are closely related.22. by "things like ..." "happen in threes" (para. 3, line 2), the author indicates that people believe ____ .(a) personal misfortunes tend to happen every now and then.(b) personal misfortunes, plane crashes, and deathsusually happen together.(c) misfortunes tend to occur according to certain patterns.(d) misfortunes will never occur more than three times toa person in his lifetime.23. ten word "courtesy" (para. 4, line 6) probably means ____.(a) good manners. (b) appropriate speech.(c) friendly relations. (d)satisfactory service.24. what can be inferred from the passage? ____(a) happenings that go unnoticed deserve more attention.(b) in a series of misfortunes the third one is usually the most serious.(c) people tend to make use of evidence that supports their own beliefs.(d) believers of misfortunes happening in threes are cautious in interpreting events.25. it can be concluded from the passage that ____ .(a) there is some truth even in the wildest dreams.(b) one should take notice of other people's merits.(c) there is no order or pattern in world events.(d) we should not base our conclusions on accidentalevidence.passage twoquestions 26 to 30 are based on the following passage.it has been thought and said that africans are born with musical talent. because music is so important in the lives of many africans and because so much music is performed in africa, we are inclined to think that africans are musicians. the impression is strengthened when we look at ourselves and find that we have become largely a society of musical spectators (旁观). music is important to us, but most of us can be considered consumers rather than producers of music. we have records, television, concerts, and radio to fulfill many of our musical needs. in most situations where music is performed in our culture it is not difficult to distinguish the audience from the performers, but such is often not the case in africa. alban ayipaga, a kasena semiprofessional musician from northern ghana, says that when his flute (长笛) and drum ensemble (歌舞团) is performing.
