A),B),C)or D).You should make the correct choice and markthe corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet with a single line through thecentre.Nowadays,cities are becoming more and more densely populated.Some pessimists are deeply worried about the serious problems posed by the huge populations.They believe that the public services are already overloaded and near the verge of collapse.Especially in some developing countries,the metropolis are overcrowded all the time.Thronged streets, stuffed buses and jammed subways continuously batter people's lives.Some optimists, however,see the current problems as merely part of an evolutionary process.They arguethat London and New York had similar problems but were able eventually to establish an orderly and safe environment for their citizens.It seems that people become the controversial factor here.Either they themselves as inhabitants cause inconvenience toeach other,or they participate together in city developing plans and contribute effortsto facilitate city life.Human elements are therefore the core for determining the futureof big cities.51.According to the passage,____________poses the most serious

the work they do.D)Each group does a different job or set of jobs.E)People working in some of the departments may never see the finished toy they have helped to make.F)Because of this specialisation,one person can't make a complete toy by himself.56.()57.()58.()59.()60.()Task3Directions:Read the given passage carefully.Then answer the questions following it in as few words as possible,that is,no more than10words.Remember to writeyour answers in the corresponding space(61through65)on the Answer Sheet.The ideal(理想)culture is the culture that the members of a society think they have;the real culture is the culture they actually have.In all societies there is a differencebetween the two.If an American citizen were asked to tell a visitor from a foreign land something about how Americans think and live,his description would probably be somewhat less than true.He might say,for example,that the United States is a democracy(民主),that all men are created equal,and that all have the same legal and social rights.Hemight fail to mention,however,that some Americans,whose skin happens to have a darker color,do not enjoy these rights equally with other citizens.61.What is

He wasn‘t very talkative, didn‘t answer questions and got into lots of fights. He had failed in almost every class. I met Ware for the first time at a weekend training program, which was designed to have students become more involved in their communities. Ware was one of 405 students who signed up for the program. When I showed up to lead them, the communities leaders gave me this overview(概况) of the attending students: ―We have different kinds of students today, from the student body president to T. J. Ware, the boy with the longest arrest record in the history of town.‖ Somehow, I knew that I wasn‘t the first to hear about Ware‘s dark side as the first words of introduction.At the start of the program, Ware was literally standing outside the circle of students, against the back wall. He didn‘t readily join the discussion groups and seemed to have little to say. But slowly, the interactive(互动式的)games drew him in. The ice really melted when the groups started building a list of positive and negative things that had occurred at school that year. Ware had some definite thoughts on those situations. The other students in Ware‘s group welcomed his comments. All of a sudden Ware felt like a part of the group, and before long he was being treated like a leader. He was saying things that made a lot of sense, and everyone was listening. Ware was a smart guy and had some great ideas. The next day, Ware was very active in all the sessions. By the end of the program, he had joined the Homeless Project team. He knew something about poverty, hunger and hopelessness. Impressed with his passionate(热情的)concern and ideas, the other students on the team elected Ware chairman of the team.Two weeks later, Ware led the team to collect food for needy families. In just two hours they collected 2,854 cans of food, which could support the poor family in the area for 75 days. The local newspaper covered the event with a full-page article the next day. That newspaper story and Ware‘s picture were posted on the main bulletin board at school. Every day he was reminded about what he did. He was being acknowledged as leadership material.

Passage OneWhen Berenice Belizaire arrived in New Y ork from Haiti with her mother and sister in 1987, she wasn‘t very happy. She spoke no English. The family had to live in a small and crowdedBrooklyn apartment, a far cry from the comfortable house they‘d had in Haiti. Her mother, a nurse, worked long hours. School was torture(折磨). Berenice had always been a good student, but now she was learning a new language while enduring constant taunts(嘲笑)from the Americans. They cursed(咒骂)her in the cafeteria and threw food at her. Someone hit her sister in the head with a book. ―Why can‘t we go home?‖ Berenice asked her mother.Because home was dangerous. The schools weren‘t always open anymore, and education---her mother insisted---was the most important thing. Her mother had always pushed her: memorize everything, she ordered. ―I have a pretty good memory,‖Berenice admitted last week. Indeed, the other kids at school began to notice that Berenice always, somehow, knew the answers.‖ They started coming to me for help,‖ she says. ―They never called me a nerd(书呆子).‖Within two years Berenice was speaking English, though not well enough to get into one of New Y ork‘s elite(精英)public high school. She had to settle for a neighborhood school, James Madison, a school with a history of unlikely success stories. ―I didn‘t realize what we had in Berenice at first,‖ says math teacher Judith Khan. ―She was good at math, but she was quiet. And the things she didn‘t know. She applied for a summer program in Buffalo and asked me how to get there on the subway. But she always seemed to ask the right questions. She understood the big ideas. She could think on her feet. She could explain difficult problems so the other kids could understand them. Eventually I realized she wasn‘t just pushing for grades, she was hungry for knowledge… And you know it never occurred to me that she also was doing well in English and history, all these subjects that had to be much tougher for her than math.‖51. Berenice and her family came to the United States so that_________________________.A.S he could get a good educationB.They could live a comfortable lifeC.They could learn to speak perfect EnglishD. she would enjoy school together with her sister52. How did the American students treat Berenice and her sister when they first came to New Y ork?A.T hey tried to help them.B.They looked down upon them.C.They tried to make friends with them.D. They kept a distance from them.53. How was it that the American children never called Berenice a nerd?A.T hey came to know she had a pretty good memory.B.She spoke English as if she were a native American,C.She could help them with their schoolwork.D.They knew she had always been a good student.54. Why didn‘t Berenice get into an elite public school?A.H er family couldn‘t afford the cost.B.Her English wasn‘t good enough.C.It was too far away from where her family lived.D.The neighborhood school she went to had a history of unlikely success stories.55. Why did Berenice make such rapid progress in her studies after she came to America according to her math teacher?A.T here were so many things she didn‘t know.B.The summer program she went to helped her a lot.C.Her mother pressed her for good grades.D.She had a thirst for knowledge.Passage TwoOne of the greatest mysteries in biology—how the monarch butterfly(帝王蝶)travels thousands of kilometers on its yearly migration(迁移) –has just been solved.Monarch butterflies use the sun to set their body clocks and make their journeys, according to US scientists. No other butterfly in the world migrates like the orange and black monarchs of North America. They cannot live for long periods in cold weather. Each autumn, thousands travel up to 3,000 km to spend the winter in the mountains of Mexico. There are so many, they almost block out the sky, and you can hear their wings beating.It usually takes the butterflies two months to reach Mexico. After staying five months, they head back up north in the spring. But not one butterfly finishes the whole round-trip. They lay eggs along the way and die.Three generations of butterflies will live and die during the spring journey alone. The fourth and final generation of the year is born in early autumn and will reach the north. But it hardly gets to rest before starting the long journey south to Mexico.The most amazing thing about these butterflies is that they return to the very same tree in Mexico that their great-great-grandparents used the winter before. Past studies have shown that the insects use the sun as a compass to show them the way. But experts are unsure how the butterflies change their directions as the sun moves in the sky.This new study now shows that the insects use a ―circadian(生理节奏的)‖clock in their bodies as part of their sun compass. In laboratory tests, monarch butterflies were found to fly in the right direction under normal daylight hours. But those flying in 24-hour light headed straight towards the sun. That is, they no longer had any sense of time.Scientist Steven Reppert, who led the research, said: ―We have shown the need for the circadian clock for monarch butterfly migration. When the clock is interrupted, monarchs are unable to fly towards Mexico.‖56. What is the focus of the passage?A. Monarch butterflies‘ yearly migration.B. The unique living style of monarch butterflies.C. The guidance of the sun in monarch butterflies‘ navigation.D. Monarch butterflies use body clocks as part of their sun compass.57. Which of the following statements is true about monarch butterflies?A. Each autumn they fly north to North America.B. In spring they fly south to Mexico.C. Only a few of them can finish the round trip.D. Their color is orange and black.58. The most surprising finding about the butterflies is that_______________________.A. not one butterfly finishes the whole-round tripB. they can find the same tree in Mexico that their great-great-grandparents used the winter beforeC. it takes as long as two months for the butterflies to fly to MexicoD. they use the sun as a compass59. What can be learned from the passage about past studies and the new discovery?A. Past studies discovered the new function of a body clock.B. The new study discovers the use of the sun as a compass.C. The new discovery throws light on an old mystery.D. Past studies showed how the butterflies could change direction.60. What was found in the laboratory?A. Monarch butterflies lost their sense of time.B. The sun was not important in their migration.C. Butterflies flying in 24-hour light lost their sense of time.D. Their body clocks were interrupted by the sun.Part V. Cloze (0.5 point each, 10 points) Directions: There are 20 blanks in the following passage.

Each choice in the bank is identified by a letter. Please mark the corresponding letter for each item on Answer Sheet 2 with a single line through the centre. You may not use any of the words in the bank more than once.Distance learning has moved far away from the traditional correspondence course, aimed at the individual student working 31 . The global reach of the Internet makes it possible to 32 geographically-scattered students in a 33 classroom. Methods such as multimedia, video-conferencing and the Internet will 34 allow students both to proceed at their own pace, and to interact with one another and their teachers.Even without taking the technology to its limits, the idea of education as a lifelong process is catching on throughout the 35 world. Already, working adults who pursue their studies part-time make up roughly half of students taking college courses in the United States.However, there is 36 in scholarly circles about how far the new technology should be used for teaching academic subjects in which personal contacts between teacher and students are still vital. Britain’s Open University, for example, a world leader in distance education, has embraced information technology 37 , believing it to be no 38 for books and the exchange of ideas at live tutorials and summer schools.But the Open University is also moving with the tide. It has set up a “knowledge media institute” to explore ways of adopting information technology. Some teachers are concerned about this trend, arguing that the heavy investment that students are 39 to make in computer and communications equipment 40 the concept of “open”. Cost, of course, is an important factor in many developing countries, where few people have computers or even phones. Rather than uniting the world, the new technologies could lead to societies of information haves and have-nots.Section B (10%)Directions: In this section, you are going to read a passage with ten statements attached to it. Each statement contains information given in one of the paragraphs. Identify the paragraph from which the information is derived. You may choose aparagraph more than once. Each paragraph is marked with a letter. Answer the questions by marking the corresponding letter on Answer Sheet 2.The Art of FriendshipA) One evening a few years ago I found myself in an anxiety. Nothing was really wrong my family and I were healthy, my career was busy and successful -- I was just feeling vaguely down and in need of a friend who could raise my spirits, someone who would meet me for coffee and let meant until the clouds lifted. I dialed my best friend, who now lives across the country in California, and got her voicemail. That's when it started to dawn on me -- lonesomeness was at the root of my dreariness. My social life had dwindled to almost nothing, but somehow until that moment I'd been too busy to notice. Now it hit me hard. My old friends, buddies since college or even childhood, know everything about me; when they left, they had taken my context with them.B) Research has shown the long-range negative consequences of social isolation on one's health. But my concerns were more short-term. I needed to feel understood right then in the way that only a girlfriend can understand you. I knew it would be wrong to expect my husband to replace my friends: He couldn't, and even if he could, to whom would I then complain about my husband? So I resolved to acquire new friends -- women like me who had kids and enjoyed rolling their eyes at the worlda little bit just as I did. Since I'd be making friends with more intention than I'd ever given the process, I realized I could be selective, that I could in effect design my own social life. The down side, of course, was that I felt pretty frightened.C) After all, it's a whole lot harder to make friends in midlife that it is when yon're younger -- a fact woman I've spoken with point out again and again. As Leslie Danzig, 41, a Chicago theater director and mother, sees it, when you're in your teens and 20s, you're more or less friends with everyone unless there's a reason not to be. Your college roommate becomes your best pal at least partly due to proximity. Now there needs to be a reason to be friends. "There are many people I'm comfort-able around, but I wouldn't go so far as to call them friends. Comfort isn't enough to sustain a real friendship," Danzig says. D) At first, finding new companions felt awkward. At 40 I couldn't run up to people the way my4-year-old daughters do in the playground and ask, "Will you be my friend? Every time you start anew relationship, you're vulnerable again," agrees Kathleen Hall, D Min, founder and CEO of the Stress Institute, in Atlanta. "You're asking, 'Would you like to come into my life?' It makes us self-conscious."E) Fortunately, my discomfort soon passed. I realized that as a mature friend seeker my vulnerability risk was actually pretty low. If someone didn't take me up on my offer, so what: I wasn't in junior high, when I might have been rejected for having the wrong clothes or hair. At my age I have amassed enough self-esteem to realize that I have plenty to offer.F) We're all so busy, in fact, that mutual interests -- say, in a project, class, or cause that we already make time for -- become the perfect catalysts for bringing us in contact with candidates for camaraderie. Michelle Mertes, 35, a teacher and mother of two in Wausau, Wisconsin, says anew friend she made at church came as a pleasant surprise. "In high school I chose friends based on their popular-ity and how being part of their circle might reflect on me. Now's it's our shared values and activities that count." Mertes says her pal, with whom she organized the church's youth programs, is nothing like her but their drive and organizational skills make them ideal friends.G) Happily, as awkward as making new friends can be, self-esteem issues do not factor in -- or if they do, you can easily put them into perspective. Danzig tells of the mother of a child in her son's pre-school, a tall, beautiful woman who is married to a big-deal rock musician. "I said to my husband, she's too cool for me,'" she jokes. "I get intimidated by people. But once I got to know her, she turned out to be pretty laid-back and friendly." In the end there was no chemistry between them, so they didn't become good pals. "I realized that we weren't each other's type, but it wasn't about hierarchy." What midlife friendship is about, it seems, is reflecting the person you've become (or are still becoming) back at yourself, thus reinforcing the progress you've made in your life.H) Harlene Katzman, 41, a lawyer in New York City, notes that her oldest friends knew her back when she was less sure of herself. As much as she loves them, she believes they sometimes respond to is-sues in light of who she once was. An old chum has the goods on you. With recently made friends, you can turn over a new leaf.I) A new friend, chosen right, can also help you point your boat in the direction you want to go. Hanna Dershowitz, 39, an attorney and mother in Los Angeles, found that a new acquaintance from work was exactly what she needed in a friend. In addition to liking and respecting Julia, Dershowitz had a feeling that the fit and athletic younger woman would help her to get in shape.J) While you're busy making new friends, remember that you still need to nurture your old ones. We asked Marla Paul, author of The Friendship Crisis: Finding, Making, and Keeping Friends When You "re Not a Kid Anymore, for the best ways to maintain these important relationships. Keep in touch. Your friends should be a priority; schedule regular lunch dates or coffee catch-up sessions, no matter how busy you are. Know her business. Keep track of important events in a friend's life and show your support. Call or e-mail to let her know you're thinking of her. Speak your mind. Tell a friend (politely) ifsomething she did really upset you. If you can't be totally honest, then you need to reexamine the relationship. Accept her flaws. No one is perfect, so work around her quirks --she's chronically late, or she's a bit negative -- to cut down on frustration and fights. Boost her ego. Heartfelt compliments make everyone feel great, so tell her how much you love her new sweater or what a great job she did on a work project.( ) 41. Leslie Danzig thought making friends at one's middle age needed some reasons.( ) 42. A well-chosen new friend can help you go in the direction that you like.( ) 43.

There are 5 tasks for youto fulfill. You should read the reading materials carefully and do the task asyou are instructed.Task 1Hank Viscardi was born without legs. He had not legs but stumps (残肢)that could be fitted with a kind of special boots. People stared at him withcruel interest. Children laughed at him and called him “Ape Man”(猿人)because his arms practically dragged on the ground.Hank went to school like other boys. His grades were good and he neededonly eight years to finish his schooling instead of the usual twelve. After graduating from school, he worked his way though college. He swept floors, waited on table, or worked in one of the college offices. During all this busy life, he had been moving around on his stumps. But one day the doctor told him even the stumps were not going to last much longer. He would soon have to use a wheelchair.Hank felt himself get cold all over. However, the doctor said there was a chance that he could be fitted with artificial legs (假肢). Finally a leg maker was found and the day came when Hank stood up before the mirror. For the first time he saw himself as he has always wanted to be - a full five feet eight inches tall. By this time he was already 26 years old.Hank had to learn to use his new legs. Again and again he marched the length of the room, and marched back again. There were times when he fell down on the floor, but he pulled himself up and went back to the endless marching. He went out on the street. He climbed stairs and learned to dance. He built a boat and learned to sail it.When World War II came, he talked the Red Crossing into giving him a job. He took the regular training. He marched and drilled along with the other soldiers. Few knew that he was legless. This was the true story of Hank Viscardi, a man without legs.36.

And even if he does not become very rich, he wants people to think that he is. That is what “keeping up with the Joneses” is about. It is the story ofsomeone who tried to look as rich as his neighbors.The expression was first used in 1913 by a young American called Arthur Momand. He told this story about himself. He began earning $125 a week at the age of 23. That was a lot of money in those days. He got married and moved with his wife to a very wealthy neighborhood outside New York City. When he saw that rich people rode horses, Momand went horse-riding everyday. When he saw that rich people had servants, Momand and his wife also hired a servant and gave big parties for their new neighbors.It was like a race, but one could never finish this race because one was always trying to keep up. The race ended for Momand and his wife when they could no longer pay for their new way of life. They moved back to an apartment in New York City.Momand looked around him and noticed that many people do things just to keep up with rich lifestyle of their neighbors. He saw the funny side of it and started to write a series of short stories. He called it “Keeping up with the Joneses” because “Jones”is a very common name in the Untie States. “Keep up with the Joneses” came to mean keeping up with the rich lifestyle of the people around you. Momand’s series appeared in different newspapers across the country for over 28 years.People never seem to get tried of keeping up with the Joneses. And there are “Joneses” in every city of the world. But one must get tired of trying to keep up with the Joneses because no matter what one does, Mr. Jones always seems to be ahead.41.

After reading it, you are required to complete the outline below it. You should write your answers (in no more than 3 words) briefly.Freezing can keep food fresh and safe to eat. Freezing lowers the food temperature below zero degree Celsius(摄氏). The simplest way to prepare fruits is to cut them up and place them in a container inside the freezer, in some cases it is better to permit the fruit to freeze before putting it in the container. This will keep it from sticking to the container. This is called the “dry pack”method. The second way is the “wet pack” method. The fruit is prepared along with some of its liquid or juice. You can add some sugar to fruits that are naturally juicy. The sugar sweetens the fruit and brings out its natural juice. Once foods have been unfrozen, they should not be frozen again.

He and the servant (仆人) loved wine and good food very much. Each time the rich man left his home, the servant would drink the wine and eat up all the nice food in the house. The rich man knew what his servant did, but he had never caught his servant doing that.One morning, when he left home, he said to the servant, “He re are two bottles of poison (毒药) and some nice food in the house. You must take of them.” With these words, he went out.But the servant knew that the rich man had said was untrue. After the rich man was away from his home, he enjoyed a nice meal. Because he drank too much, he wasdr unk and fell to the ground. When the rich man came back, he couldn’t find his food and his wine. He became very angry. He woke the servant up.

From the story, we know that the servant is very _____.A. lazyB. bad D. kindPassage 2Cancer is among the top killer diseases in our society today and scientists have found out that stress helps to bring it on. It is worthwhile to consider, therefore, what are the causes of stress in our life, and whether we can do anything about them.Are we under-employed, or overburdened with too many responsibilities? Do we have a right balance of work and leisure in our lives? Are our relationships with family, friends or fellow workers all they should be?All these things can be a cause of stress, and it is best to face them honestly, and to bring our frustrations into the open. People who have a good row and then forget it are doing their health more good than those who bottle up their feelings.If our self-examination has brought any causes of stress to light, let us consider what we can do about them. It is possible to change jobs. We can make more leisure and fill it more happily, if we will accept a different living standard. We can improve our personal relationships by a different attitude. It is we who allow other people to make ourselv es unhappy. Often the little things that disturb us are not worth an hour’s anger.

There are 5 tasks for you to fulfill. You should read the reading materials carefully and do the task as you are instructed.Task 1Hank Viscardi was born without legs. He had not legs but stumps (残肢) that could be fitted with a kind of special boots. People stared at him with cruel interest. Children laughed at himand called him ―Ape Man‖(猿人) because his arms practically dragged on the ground.Hank went to school like other boys. His grades were good and he needed only eight years to finish his schooling instead of the usual twelve. After graduating from school, he worked his way though college. He swept floors, waited on table, or worked in one of the college offices. During all this busy life, he had been moving around on his stumps. But one day the doctor told him even the stumps were not going to last much longer. He would soon have to use a wheelchair.Hank felt himself get cold all over. However, the doctor said there was a chance that he could be fitted with artificial legs (假肢). Finally a leg maker was found and the day came when Hank stood up before the mirror. For the first time he saw himself as he has always wanted to be - a full five feet eight inches tall. By this time he was already 26 years old.Hank had to learn to use his new legs. Again and again he marched the length of the room, and marched back again. There were times when he fell down on the floor, but he pulled himself up and went back to the endless marching. He went out on the street. He climbed stairs and learned to dance. He built a boat and learned to sail it.When World War II came, he talked the Red Crossing into giving him a job. He took the regular training. He marched and drilled along with the other soldiers. Few knew that he was legless. This was the true story of Hank Viscardi, a man without legs.36. Children laughed at Hank and called him ―Ape Man‖ because _______.A. he didn’t talk to themB. he kept away from themC. his arms touched the ground when he movedD. he couldn’t use his arms37. It can be inferred from the story five feet eight inches tall is ________.A. an average height for a fully grown personB. too tall for an average personC. too short for an average personD. None of the above38. The sentence ―he talked the Red Cross into giving him a job‖ implies that the Red Cross _______.A. was only glad to give him a jobB. gave him a job because he was a good soldierC. gave him a job after he talked to someone he knewD. was not willing to give him a job at first39. When Hank marched and drilled along with the other soldiers, he ____.A. did everything the other soldiers didB. did most of the things the other soldiers didC. did some of the things the other soldiers didD. took some special training40. The writer suggests that Hank Viscardi _________.A. had no friendsB. never saw himself as different from othersC. was very shyD. was too proud to accept help from othersTask 2In the United States, when a person becomes rich, he wants people to know it. And even if he does not become very rich, he wants people to think that he is. That is what ―keeping up withthe Joneses‖ is about. It is the st ory of someone who tried to look as rich as his neighbors.The expression was first used in 1913 by a young American called Arthur Momand. He told this story about himself. He began earning $125 a week at the age of 23. That was a lot of money in those days. He got married and moved with his wife to a very wealthy neighborhood outside New York City. When he saw that rich people rode horses, Momand went horse-riding everyday. When he saw that rich people had servants, Momand and his wife also hired a servant and gave big parties for their new neighbors.It was like a race, but one could never finish this race because one was always trying to keep up. The race ended for Momand and his wife when they could no longer pay for their new way of life. They moved back to an apartment in New York City.Momand looked around him and noticed that many people do things just to keep up with rich lifestyle of their neighbors. He saw the funny side of it and started to write a series of short stories. He called it ―Keeping up with the Joneses‖ because ―Jones‖ is a very common name in the Untie States. ―Keep up with the Joneses‖ came to mean keeping up with the rich lifestyle of the people around you. Momand’s series appeared in different newspapers across the country for over 28 years.People never seem to get tried of keeping up with the Joneses. And there are ―Joneses‖ in every city of the world. But one must get tired of trying to keep up with the Joneses because no matter what one does, Mr. Jones always seems to be ahead.41. Some people want to keep up with the Joneses because they _____.A. want to be as rich as their neighborsB. want others to know or to think that they are richC. don’t want others to know they are richD. want to be happy42. It can be inferred from the story that rich people like to _____.A. live outside New York CityB. live in New York CityC. live in apartmentsD. have many neighbors43. The underlined word ― neighborhood‖ in Para.2 means ________.A. a person who lives near anotherB. people living in an areaC. an area near the place referred toD. an area in another town or city44. Arthur Momand used the name ―Jones‖ in his series of short stories because ―Jones‖ is __________.A. an important nameB. a popular name in the United StatesC. his neighbor’s nameD. not a good name45. According to the writer, it is _____ to keep up with the Joneses.A. correctB. interestingC. impossibleD. goodTask 3Directions: The following is a passage. After reading it, you are required to complete the outline below it. You should write your answers (in no more than 3 words) briefly.Freezing can keep food fresh and safe to eat. Freezing lowers the food temperature below zero degree Celsius(摄氏). The simplest way to prepare fruits is to cut them up and place themin a container inside the freezer, in some cases it is better to permit the fruit to freeze before putting it in the container. This will keep it from sticking to the container. This is called the ―dry pack‖ method. The second way is the ―wet pack‖ method. The fruit is prepared along with some of its liquid or juice. You can add some sugar to fruits that are naturally juicy. The sugar sweetens the fruit and brings out its natural juice. Once foods have been unfrozen, they should not be frozen again. There is a danger of food poisoning if food is frozen more than once.Task 4Directions: The following is a list of airport terms.

(阅读理解题)Passage 1Questions 11 to 15 are based on the following passage.Ours is a big world, and full of many different people. People with many varying (不同的) points of view are often running up against others who have different opinions. Those of us who smoke are just one group of many. Recently, the activism (采取行动) of non-smokers has reminded us of the need to be considerate (体谅的) of others when we smoke in public.But, please! Enough is enough! We should like to remind non-smokers that being polite is a two-way street. If you politely request thatsomeone not smoke you are more likely to receive an agreeable response than if you give an ugly look and say something unkind. If you speak directly to someone, you are more likely to get what you want than if you complain to the management.Many of us have been smoking for so long that we sometimes forget that others are not used to the smell of burning tobacco. We' re human, and like everyone else, we occasionally offend unknowingly. But most of us are open to friendly suggestions and comments, and quite willing to change our behavior to accommodate others.Smokers are people, too. We laugh and cry. We have hopes, dreams, and aspirations. We have children, mothers, and pets. We eat our hamburgers with everything on them and give respect to the flag at Fourth of July picnics. We hope you'll remember that the next time a smoker light up in public.(1). (单选题) The purpose of the first paragraph is __( )____.(本题3.0分)A、 to inform the reader of the bigness of the worldB、to declare that the author belongs to the group of smokersC、to tell non-smokers that smokers will be considerateD、to reveal the author's reason for writing this essay学生答案: D标准答案:D解析:得分: 3(2). (单选题) What does the second sentence in the second paragraph imply? ( )(本题3.0分)A、We should go on two different roads.B、 We have different ways of doing things.C、Being polite to each other is a mutual thing.D、 We can smoke and sometimes we will not smoke.学生答案: C标准答案:C解析:得分: 3(3). (单选题) According to the author, how can you get an agreeable response from smokers if you don't feel like someone smoking beside you? ( )(本题3.0分)A、Complain to his boss.B、Tell him directly that you hate smokers.C、Keep from complaining but do something to suggest your feelings.D、Tell him politely that you are not used to smoke.学生答案: D标准答案:D解析:得分: 3(4). (单选题)According to the author, why do some smokers smoke in public? ( ) (本题3.0分)A、 Because they cannot stop from smoking.B、Because they forget that others do not like the smell cigarettes.C、Because they are humans and they cannot avoid offending people.D、Because there is no law against it.学生答案: B标准答案:B解析:得分: 3(5). (单选题)How does the author try to persuade the reader? ( )(本题3.0分)A、He uses reasons.B、 He appeals to people's feelings.C、He gives examples in his argument.D、 He simply states his opinion.学生答案: B标准答案:B解析:得分: 337. (阅读理解题)Passage 2Nature has supplied every animal except man with some covering for his body such as fur, feathers, hair, seals, shells or a thick hide. But man has nothing but a thin skin. If someone were to ask us, "Why did human beings start to cover their bodies with clothes?" most of us would answer, "To keep themselves warm, of course."It is only when we begin to think about it a little that we realize that clothes are worn for a great many reasons that have nothing to do with our need for warmth at all. For instance, we wear clothes to some extent in order to decorate ourselves -- to make ourselves, if possible, look more graceful or dignified (高贵的) than we are.Clothes of a special kind are often worn to show that the wearer has authority or power. The individual wearing them is treated with respect because he occupies a certain office. The judge in the court, for instance, might look a very ordinary and unimpressive figure without his wig (假发) and gown. Clothes are an essential part of all ceremonial occasions, whether it is connected with religion, the law, parliament, royalty, the fighting forces, or the state.Sometimes, even in civilized countries, people wear some article of clothing, or some jewel, because they believe that it will bring them luck or protect them from evil or illness, or because it is connected with their beliefs.None of these reasons for wearing clothes — to decorate ourselves, to show our position in the world, for ceremonial purposes, for "luck", to give ourselves dignity and authority — have anything to do with our need for warmth and protection from the weather.(1). (单选题)Animals do not use ____ to protect themselves from the weather. ( ) (本题3.0分)A、shellB、 furC、thick hideD、 wig学生答案: D标准答案:D解析:得分: 3(2). (单选题)According to the passage, judges wear wig and gown ____.( ) (本题3.0分)A、because it is the traditionB、to show their authority and position in the courtC、because this makes them look more dignifiedD、because it is related with religion学生答案: B标准答案:B解析:得分: 3(3).

( ) (本题3.0分)A、bringing good luckB、joining certain ceremoniesC、showing the difference from other animalsD、showing dignity学生答案: C标准答案:C解析:得分: 3(4). (单选题)According to the passage, which statement is true? ( )(本题3.0分)A、Animals other than humans don’t wear clothes to keep warm.B、Humans wear clothes only to keep warm.C、 Humans also have hair to keep themselves warm.D、Animals all rely on their hair and feather to keep warm.学生答案: A标准答案:A解析:得分: 3(5).

专科大学英语1第一学期期末考试(A卷)Part II Reading Comprehension (30 %) Directions: There are four 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) andD). You should decide on the best choice and mark the corresponding letter on theAnswer Sheet with a single line through the center.Passage OneScience is not a set of unquestionable results but a way of understanding the world around us. Its real work is slow. The scientific method , as many of us learned in school, is a gradual process that begins with a purpose or problem or question to be answered. It includes a list of materials, a procedure to follow, a set of observations to make and, finally, conclusions to reach. In medicine, when a new drug is proposed that might cure or control a disease, it is first tested on a large random group of people, and their reactions are then compared with those of another random group not given the drug. All reactions in both groups are carefully recorded and compared, and the drug is evaluated. All of this takes time and patience.It’s the result of course, that makes the best news—not the years of quiet work that characterize the bulk of scientific inquiry. After an experiment is concluded or an observation is made, the result continues to be examined critically. When it is submitted for publication, it goes to a group of the scientist’s colleagues, who review the work. Einstein was right when he said: “No amount of experimentation can ever prove me right, a single experiment can at any time prove me wrong.”In August 1996, NASA announced the discovery in Antarctica of a meteorite(流星)from Mars that might contain evidence of ancient life on another world. As President Clinton said that day, the possibility that life existed on Mars billions of years ago was potentially one of the great discoveries of our time.After the excitement wore down and initial papers were published, other researchers began looking at samples from the same meteorite. Some concluded that the “evidence of life”was mostly contamination from Antarctic ice or that there was nothing organic at all in the rock.Was this a failure of science, as some news reports trumpeted?No! It was a good example of the scientific method working the way it is supposed to. Scientists spend years on research, announce their findings, and these findings are examined by other scientists. That’s how we learn. Like climbing a mountain, we struggle up three feet and fall back two. It’s a process filled with disappointments and reverses, but somehow we keep moving ahead.21. The author’s main purpose in writing this passage is to state that ____________.A) most scientific discoveries are not reliableB) mass media is misleading because it looks at the research results onlyC) scientific research is a process filled with reverses and requires slow and patientworkD) repeated experiments are necessary before medicine can be used in patients22. Publication of a scientific finding signifies __________.A) a challenge to fellow scientists to prove it wrongB) the end of a processC) the beginning of a new scientific inquiryD) the soundness of the result23. Einstein’s words are used to show that he thought___________.A) experiments have proved him rightB) scientists do not need so many experimentsC) one experiment is not enough to prove him wrong.D) scientific ideas are never free from challenge24. NASA’s announcement of the discovery of evidence of ancient life on Mars shows _________.A) the way human beings learn about natureB) the failure of the scientific methodC) the fruitlessness of human search for life on another worldD) the excitement brought by scientific findings25. It can be inferred from the passage that the media is interested in __________.A) the process of scientific researchB) the results of scientific researchC) the scientists who do the researchD) the effects of scientific research on human lifePassage TwoNormally a student must attend a certain number of courses in order to graduate, and each course which he attends gives him a credit which he may count towards a degree. In many American universities the total work for a degree consists of thirty-six courses each lasting for one semester. A typical course consists of three classes per week for fifteen weeks; while attending a university a student will probably attend four or five courses during each semester. Normally a student would expect to take four years attending two semesters each year. It is possible to spread the period of work for the degree over a longer period. It is also possible for a student to move between one university and another during his degree course, though this is not in fact done as a regular practice.For every course that he follows a student is given a grade, which is recorded, and the record is available for the student to show to prospective employers. All this imposes a constant pressure and strain of work, but in spite of this some students still find time for great activity in student affairs. Elections to positions in student organizations arouse much enthusiasm. The effective work of maintaining discipline is usually performed by students who advise the academic authorities. Any student who is thought to have broken the rules, for example, by cheating has to appear before a student court. With the enormous numbers of students, the operation of the system does involve a certain amount of activity. A student who has held one of these positions of authority is much respected and it will be of benefit to him later in his career.26. Normally a student would at least attend __________classes each week.A) 36B) 12C) 20D) 1527. According to the first paragraph an American student is allowed _______.A) to live in a different universityB) to take a particular course in a different universityC) to live at home and drive to classesD) to get two degrees from two different universities28. American university students are usually under pressure of work because_________.A) their academic performance will affect their future careersB) they are heavily involved in student affairsC) they have to observe university disciplineD) they want to run for positions of authority29.Some students are enthusiastic for positions in student organizations probablybecause_________.A) they hate the constant pressure and strain of their studyB) they will then be able to stay longer in the universityC) such positions help them get better jobsD) such positions are usually well paid30. The student organizations seem to be effective in _________.A) dealing with the academic affairs of the universityB) ensuring that the students observe university regulationsC) evaluating students’ performance by bringing them before a courtD) keeping up the students’ enthusiasm for social ac tivitiesPassage ThreeDoreen Sykora is now a junior at Mcgill University. She had a difficult time when she first began college. She said, “I was always well prepared for my examinations. But I would go in to class to take the exam, and I would fall apart. I could not answer the questions correctly-----even though I knew the answers! I would just blank out because of nervousness and fear.”Hitoshi Sakamoto, an anthropology student at Temple University in Tokyo reports similar experiences.These two young students were experiencing something called test anxiety. Because a student worries and is stressed about a test, his or her mind does not work as well as it usually does. The student cannot write or think clearly because of the severe tension and nervousness.Now there are special university courses to help students. In these courses, advisors and psychologists try to help students by teaching them to manage test anxiety. Such a course helps students learn to live with stress and not fail because of it. First students take a practice test to measure their worry level. If the tests show that their stress level is high, the students can take a short course to manage the fear. These courses teach students how to relax their bodies. They get training to become calm in very tense situations. By controlling their nervousness, they can let their minds work more easily. Learned information then comes out without difficulty on a test.Doreen Sykora saw immediate results after taking such a course. She now has enthusiasm about the relaxation methods. “Mostly, what I do is imagine myself in a very calm place. Then I imagine myself picking up a pencil. I move slowly and carefully. I breathe easily and let all the tension out. With each breath, more worry leaves me. It really works too. My grades have improved greatly! I’m really doing well at McGill now. This relaxation method works not only on examinations, but it has improved the rest of my life as well.”For Hitoshi in Tokyo, the results were much the same. He is enjoying school a lot more and learning more.31. Doreen Sykora and Hitoshi Sakamoto were filled with nervousness and fear duringexaminations because they were__________.A) not ready and unaware of the answersB) physically so weak that they fell apartC) subject to test anxietyD) unable to write or think clearly32. The higher the students’ worry level is, __________.A) the less calm and relaxing they areB) the more difficult they will be trained to manage fearC) the more stressed and tense they areD) the longer courses they will take to manage fear33. What’s the purpose of some special university student-help courses?A) To help students to reduce test anxiety.B) To show a stress level experienced by students.C) To learn more knowledge about test anxiety.D) To have a better understanding of test anxiety.34. What’s the meaning of “blank out” in paragraph one?A) To be like a blanket.B) To be sure of an answer.C) To be relaxed.D) To be unable to think clearly.35.Which of the following best sums up the organization of the passage?A) Examples----theories----ideas.B) Problem----strategy----examples----results.C) General statement----examples----result.D) Strategy----experiment----examples.Part III Vocabulary and Structure (15 %) Directions: There are 30 incomplete sentences in this part.

You should decide on the best choice and mark the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet with a single line through the centre. Passage OneQuestions 21 to 25 are based on the following passage.People enjoy talking about “firsts”. They like to remember their first love or their first car. But, not all first are their happy ones. Few people enjoy recalling the firsts that are bad.One of bad but important firsts was the first car accident. Autos(汽车) were still young when it happened. The crash took place in New York City. The year was 1896. The month was May. A man from Massachusetts was visiting the city in his new car. At the time, bicycle riders were still get used to the new set of wheels on the road. No one is sure who was at fault. In any case, the bike and the car collided. The man on the bike was injured. The driver of the car had to stay in prison and wait for the hospital report on the bicycle rider. Luckily the rider was not killed.Three years later, another automobile accident took place. It was again in New York City. A man named Henry Bliss stepped off a streetcar. He was hit by a passing car. Once again, no one is sure just how it happened or whose fault it was. The driver if the car was put in prison. Poor Mr. Bliss became the first person to die in a car accident.21.This passage is about ______.A.the first bicycle accidentB.accidents in large citiesC.two of the first auto accidentsD.the first car with wheels22.

There was often tension between each established group of immigrants and eachPart II Reading Comprehension (40%)《大学英语(I)》试卷本卷共12页第3页《大学英语(I)》试卷本卷共12页第4页succeeding group. As each group became more financially successful, and more powerful, they excluded newcomers from full participation in the society. Prejudice and discrimination are pert of our history; however, this prejudice treatment of different groups is nowhere more unjust with black Americans.Blacks had distinct disadvantages. For the most part, they came to the “ land of opportunity” as slaves and they were not free to keep their heritage and cultural traditions. Unlike most European immigrants, blacks did not have the protection of a support group; sometimes slave owners separated members of the same family. They could not mix easily with the established society either because of their skin color. It was difficult for them to adapt the American culture. Even after they became free people, they still experienced discrimination in employment, housing, education, and even in public facilities, such as restrooms.26. Prejudice and discrimination ______.A. were goneB. have been existing in the American SocietyC. don’t exclude new immigrants from participation in the societyD. are mainly caused by the slavery27. Established and succeeding immigrants______.A. were reluctant to help newcomers to adapt to the new surroundingsB. were wiling to support newcomers financiallyC. were great helpers of slaves and IndiansD. were treated unequally by American Indians28.One of the reasons why black Americans could not easily mix in American societyis _____.A.that most Americans are immigrantsB.due to their skin colorC.that they speak their language differently from Americans.D.that they were free to keep their heritage29.The author specifically mentions that______.A.black Americans are most prejudicially treated in the U.S.B.discrimination in the South was not more obvious than in the NorthC.the situation of blacks is almost the same today as it was in the NorthD.after blacks became free people they didn’t experience discrimination.30.The attitude of the author is______.A. favorableB. praisingC. indifferentD. sarcasticPassage ThreeQuestions 31 to 35 are based on the following passage.When families gather for Christmas dinner, some will stick to formal traditions dating back to Grandma's generation. Their tables will be set with the good dishes and silver, and the dress code will be Sunday-best.But in many other homes, this china-and-silver elegance has given way to a stoneware (粗陶) -and-stainless informality, with dresses assuming an equally casual-Friday look. For hosts and guests, the change means greater simplicity and comfort. For makers of fine china in Britain, it spells economic hard times.Last week Royal Doulton, the largest employer in Stoke-on-Trent, announced that it is eliminating 1,000jobs --- one-fifth of its total workforce. That brings to more than 4,000 the number of positions lost in 18 months in the pottery (陶瓷)region. Wedgwood and other pottery factories made cuts earlier.Although a strong pound and weak markets in Asia play a role in the downsizing, the layoffs in Stoke have their roots in earthshaking social shifts. A spokesman for Royal Doulton admitted that the company "has been somewhat slow in catching up with the trend" toward casual dining. Families eat together less often, he explained, and more people eat alone, either because they are single or they eat in front of television;Even dinner parties, if they happen at all, have gone casual. In a time of long work hours and demanding family schedules, busy hosts insist, rightly, that it's better to share a takeout pizza on paper plates in the family room than to wait for the perfect moment or a "real" dinner party. Too often, the perfect moment never comes. Iron a fine-patterned tablecloth? Forget it. Polish the silver? Who has time?Yet the loss of formality has its down side. The fine points of etiquette (礼节)that children might once have learned at the table by observation or instruction from parents and grandparents ("Chew with your mouth closed." "Keep your elbows off the table.") must be picked up elsewhere. Some companies now offer etiquette seminars for employees who may be competent professionally but clueless socially.31. The trend toward casual dining has resulted in_____.A.bankruptcy of fine china manufacturersB.shrinking of the pottery industryC.restructuring of large enterprisesD.economic recession in Great Britain32. Which of the following may be the best reason for casual dining?A.Family members need more time to relax.B.Busy schedules leave people no time for formality.C.People want to practice economy in times of scarcity.D.Young people won't follow the etiquette of the older generation.33. It can be learned from the passage that Royal Doulton is_____.A. a retailer of stainless steel tablewareB. a dealer in stonewareC. a pottery chain store装订线内不要答题《大学英语(I)》试卷本卷共12页第5页《大学英语(I)》试卷本卷共12页第6页D. a producer of fine china34. The main cause of the layoffs in the pottery industry is_____.A.the increased value of the poundB.the economic recession in AsiaC.the change in people's way of lifeD.the fierce competition at home and abroad35. Refined table manners, though less popular than before in current social life_____.A.are still a must on certain occasionsB.are bound to return sooner or laterC.are still being taught by parents at homeD.can help improve personal relationshipsPassage FourQuestions 36 to 40 are based on the following passage.An election year is one I which all four numbers are evenly divisible by four (1944, 1940, etc.). Since 1840, American presidents elected in years ending in zero have destined to die in office. William H. Harrison, the man who served the shortest term, died of pneumonia several weeks after his inauguration.Abraham Lincoln was one of the four presidents who were assassinated. He was elected in 1860 and his untimely death came just five years later. James A. Garfield, a former Union army general from Ohio, was shot during his first year in office (1881) by a man to whom he wouldn’t give a job.While in his second term of office (1901), William McKinley, another Ohioan, attended the Pan-American Expedition at Baffalo, New York. During the reception, he was assassinated while shaking hands with some of the guests.Three years after his election in 1920, Warren G. Harding died in office. Although it was never proved, many believe he was poisoned.Franklin D. Roosevelt had been elected four times (1932, 1936, 1940, 1944) the only man to serve so long a term. He had contracted Polio in 1941 and died of illness in 1945.John F. Kennedy, the last of the line, was assassinated in 1963, only three years after his election.36.Which of the following was NOT an election year?A. 1960B. 1952C. 1889D. 182437.Which president served the shortest term in office?A.
