Reading Comprehension (50%)Directions: There are 4 passages in this part. Each passage is followed by some questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D .You should decide on the best choice and write the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet.Questions 41 to 45 are based on the following passage:Passage OnePopulation tends to grow at an exponential(指数的)rate. This means that they progressively double. As an example of this type of growth rate take one penny and double every day for one month. After the first week, you would have only 64 cent, but after the fourth week you would have over a million dollars.This helps explain why the population has come on“all of a sudden”took from he beginning of human 1ife to the year 1830 for the population of the earth to reach one billion. That repents(缓慢进行) a time span of at least two million years. Then it took from 1830 to 1930 for world population to reach 2 billion. The next billion was added by 1960 only thirty years and in 1975 world population reached 4 billion which is another billion people in only fifteen years.World population is increasing at a rate of 9, 000per hour, 220,000 per day and 80 million per year. This is not only due to higher birth rate, but to lower death rate as well. The number of births has not declined at the same rate as the number of deaths.Some countries such as Columbia, Thailand, Morocco, Costa Rica and the Philippines are doubling their population about every twenty-one years with a growth rate of 3.3 percent a year or more. The United States is doubling its population about very eighty-seven years, with a rate of 0.8 percent per year. （81）Every time a population doubles, the country involved needs twice as much of everything, including hospitals, schools, resources, food and medicines to care for its people. It is easy to see that this is very difficult to achieve for the more rapidly growing countries.41. This passage chiefly discussesA. the growth of world population.B. one type of the exponential rate.C. the population problem of more rapidly growing countries.D. the possible ways of dealing with the rapid population growth.42. According to the passage what helps to explain why the population problem has come on “all of a sudden”?A. The penny that doubles itself every day for one month.B. The time span of at 1east two million years in human history.C. An illustration of the exponent growth rate given by the author.D. The large amount of money you would luckily make after the fourth week.43. It took for the world to increase its population from 1 billion to 4 billion.A. 100 yearsB. 175 yearsC. 1975 yearsD. over two million years44. Which of the following statements is NOT true?A. World population is increasing at a rate of 150 per minute.B. Lower death rate also contributes to world population growth.C. The population of Columbia has been doubling every year for 21 years.D. The United States is usually doubling its population on about every 87 years.45. When a population doubles, the country involved needs twice as much of everything including __.A. hospitals and medicinesB. schools and studentsC. food and manpower resourcesD. all of the aboveQuestions 46 to 50 based on the following passage:Passage TwoWomen are on the whole more verbal than men. They are good at 1anguage and verbal reasoning. while men tend to be skilled at tasks demanding visual-spatial(视空)abilities. In fact, along with aggression these are the most commonly accepted difference between these sexes.Words are tools for communicating with other people especially information about people. They are mainly social tools. Visual and spatial abilities are good for imagining and manipulating objects and for communicating information about them. Are these talents programmed into the brain? In some of the newest and most controversial research in neurophysiology(神经生理学), it has been suggested that when it comes to the brain males are specialists while women are generalists.But one knows that, if anything this means in terms of the abilities of the two sexes. Engineering is both Visual and spatial and it’s true that there are relatively few women engineers. But women become just as skilled as men at shooting a rifle or driving a car task that involve visual-spatial skills. They also do equally well at programming a computer, which is neither visual nor spatial. Women do, however, seem less likely to fall in love with the objects themselves. We all know men for whom machines seem to beextensions of their identity. （82）A woman is more likely to see her car, rifle or computer as a useful tool but not in itself fascinating.46. According to the passage, women are usually good at_____.A. body languageB. logical reasoningC. tasks demanding for the use of wordsD. both A and B47. The word "accepted” in the last sentence of the first paragraph, roughly means_____.A. believedB. assumedC. receivedD. reconciled48. In the author’s opinion, visual and spatial abilities are good for______.A. achieving one’s objects.B. mind and body.C. programming talents into the brain.D. imagination and communication.49. All the following tasks involve visual-spatial abilities EXCEPT____.A. imagining and handling objects.B. providing a computer with a set of instructionsC. shooting a gun and driving an automobileD. planning and making things as an engineer does50. Why do women seem less likely to fall in love with the objects themselves?A. Because they have no visual-spatial skills.B. Because they are only good at 1anguage and verbal reasoning.C. Because they are less likely to see their charming or interesting aspects.D. Because they rarely use machines such as cars, rifles, computers, etc.Questions 51 to 55 are based on the following passage:Passage ThreeThe US. government has recently helped people learn more about the dangers of earthquakes by publishing a map. This map shows the chances of an earthquake in each part of the country. （83）The areas of the map where earthquakes are most likely to occur are called earthquake “belt”. The government is, spending a great deal money and is working hard to help discover the answer to these two questions: l. Can we predict earthquake? 2. Can we control earthquakes?To answer the first question, scientists are looking very closely at the most active fault(断层)systems in the country such as the San Andreas fault in California, a fault is break between two sections of the earth’s surface. These breaks between sections are the place where earthquake occurs.Scientists look at the faults for changes that might show that an earthquake was about to occurs. But it will probably be many years before we can predict earthquakes accurately. And the control of earthquakes is even farther away.Nevertheless, there have been some interesting developments in the field of controlling earthquakes. The most interesting development concerns the Rocky Mountain Arsenal earthquakes.Here water was put into a layer of rocks 4000 meters below surface of the ground. Shortly after this injection of water, there were a small number of earthquakes. Scientists have decided that the water which was injected into rocks works like oil on each other. When the water“oiled”the fault, the fault became slippery and the energy of an earthquake was released. Scientists are still experimenting at the site of these earthquakes. They have realized that there is a connection between injection of the water and the earthquake activity. They have suggested that might be possible to use this knowledge to prevent very big destructive earthquakes, that is, scientists could inject some kind of fluid like water into faults and change one big earthquake into a number of small, harmless earthquakes.51. Earthquake belts are .A. maps that show where earthquakes are likely to occurB. zones with a high probability of earthquakesC. breaks between two sections of the earth’s surfaceD. the two layers of earth along a fault52. The San Andreas’ fault is .A. an active fault systemB. a place where earthquakes have been predicted accuratelyC. a place where earthquake have been controlledD. the location of the Rocky Mountain53. What did scientists learn about earthquakes at the Rocky Mountain Arsenal？A. They occur at bout 4000 meters below ground levelB. The injection of water into earthquake faults prevents earthquakes from occurring.C. They are usually caused by the oil in the faults.D. Harmful earthquakes can be possibly prevented by causing small harmless earthquake.54. What can be said about the experiments at Rocky Mountain Arsenal?A. They have no practical value in earthquake prevention.B. They may have practical value in earthquake prevention.C. They are certain to have practical value in earthquake prevention.D. he article does not say anything about their practical value in earthquake prevention.55. What is the most appropriate title for the passage?A. Dangers of EarthquakeB. Earthquake Belts and PredictionC. Earthquake Prediction and ControlD. Earthquake Engineering in CaliforniaQuestions 56 to 60 are based on the following passage:Passage FourSporting activities are essentially modified forms of hunting behavior. Viewed biologically, the modern footballer is in reality a member of a hunting group. His killing weapon has turned into a harmless football and his prey into a goalmouth. If his aim is accurate and he scores a goal, he enjoys the hunter’s triumph of killing his prey.To understand how this transformation has taken place we must briefly look back at our forefathers. They spent over a million years evolving(进化) as Cooperative hunters. Their very survival depended on success in the hunting field. （84）Under this pressure their whole way of life, even their bodies, became greatly changed：They became chasers, runners, jumpers, aimers, throwers and prey killers. They cooperated as skillful male group attack.Then about ten thousand years ago, after this immensely long period of hunting the food, they became farmers. Their improved intelligence, so vital to their old hunting life was put to a new use——that of controlling and domesticating (驯养) their prey. The hunt became suddenly out of date. The food was there on the farms, awaiting their needs. The risks and uncertainties of the hunt were no longer essential for survival.(85)The skills and thirst for hunting remained, however, and demanded new outlets. Hunting for sport replaced hunting for necessity. This new activity involved all the original hunting sequences(后果), but the aim of the operation was no longer to avoid starvation. Instead the sportsmen set off to test their skill against prey that was no longer essential to their survival. To be sure, the kill may have been eaten, but there were other purposes, much simpler of obtaining a meaty meal.56. What is the main idea of the passage?A.Hunting is very important in human civilization.B.Sporting activities satisfy the desire of modern society.C.It’s hunting that provides human beings with food.D.The importance of sporting activities in modern society.57. According to the author, sporting activities .A. are essential to the survivalB. have actually developed from huntingC. evolve as biological developmentD. are football games58. For over a million years. our forefathers were basically .A. skillful sportsmenB. successful farmersC. runners and jumpersD. cooperating hunters59. The word“operation (Par. 4)refers to .A. sports activitiesB. huntingC. farmersD. prey killing60. Which of the following is true according to the passage?A. The goalmouth is equal to the weapon in hunting.B. Without hunting our forefathers couldn’t live.C. After our forefathers became farmers they still hunted for food.D. Farmers are satisfied with stable lives and they didn’t have enthusiasm for hunting any moreIII. Cloze Test (20分)Directions: There are 20 blanks in the following passage.

I'm away from home,so I have many thing to adjust to, such as being on my own and meeting many different types of people. There are a lot of things I like about college that I would like to describe for you.First of all, living at college, gives me a sense of responsibility andof being on my own. My parents aren't around to say "No, you're not going out tonight" or "Did you finish your homework?" Everything I do has to be my decision, and that makes me responsible for my own life. During the second week I was at college, I had to go out and look for a bank where I open an account. And when I got to the bank, I had to decide whether to have a checking or savings account and Whether or not to get a credit card. Decisions! Decisions!Friendly people is another thing I like about college. On my first day I came to Marymount University here in Virginia from New York and -even though I'd been here before-I was a bit confused about where I was going. My mother and I drove in, not knowing the building we were supposed to go to, and the guard was especially nice: with a smile, he told us what building we were looking for and where we could park our car. My room was on the first floor of New Gerard, and I know I had to go through some glass doors-but my mother and I didn't know which ones. Some upperclassmen saw me and asked, " Are you a mew student?" When they found out I was looking for New Gerard. One said, "Oh, just follow us;that's where we'regoing." Even now I feel fortable in the dorm because there are friendly people around to talk with.I do like a lot of people about college, but that doesn’t mean I don’t think about things at home. Although I like college, I can still get homesick. New York is a very good place, too! And sometimes I miss it! ( )76.The text is perhaps written by _______.A.a new studentB. a new teacherC. a foreign reporterD. a foreignvisitor( )77.What does “gives me a sense of responsibility 〞 in the first sentence of Paragraph 2 mean? It means it makes me feel____.A.Responsible for my parentsB. responsible for my teacherC.responsible for the schoolD. responsible for myself( )78.One thing that he liked was _____.A.The fortable dormB. finding his way aroundC.his studies as a first year studentD. the friendly people ( )79.What is New Gerad?A.It’s a student’s nameB. It’s a teacher’s name’s a dorm’s name D. It’s a school’s name( )80.Which of the following is NOT true?A.People in Marymount University are friendlyB.The writer likes the new experience in the universityC.The writer drove to Marymount University with his motherD.The writer is not homesick四．翻译〔每题2分；10题，共20分〕81.众所周知，肺癌至少局部地是由于吸烟过多而引起的。

Reading ComprehensionDirections: In this part there are four passages. Each passage is followed by five 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 OneIf someone is sleepwalking, they are walking around while they are asleep. Sleepwalking happens when a person is not fully asleep but not quite awake. Usually we move from our deepest level of sleep to a lighter level and stay there. Sleepwalkers come right up to wake levels but do not fully awaken. It is at this time that they get up and walk.The longer a person stays in deep sleep, the more time it takes for the sleep to be broken. That opens up the possibility of being awakened (but not fully) and of sleepwalking.Sleepwalking happens more often among young people than grown-ups because young people usually have more deep sleep. Up to 7% of 5 to 12-year-olds sleepwalk, while only about 2% of grown-ups sleepwalk. We get less deep sleep as we aregetting older and the possibility of sleepwalking is also reduced.Sleepwalking may run in families, too. If one of your parents was a sleepwalker, you have about a 50% possibility of also being a sleepwalker.41、 This passage is about ______.A. why sleepwalking happensB. where sleepwalkers goC. what sleepwalkers doD. when sleepwalkers walk42、 Who has more possibility of sleepwalking? ______A. Grown-ups.B. Young people.C. Old men.D. Old women.43、 What does "reduced" mean in "...the possibility of sleepwalking is also reduced" in Paragraph Three? ______A. Opened up.B. Cut down.C. Kept on.D. Sped up.44、 People have more possibility of developing sleepwalk ______.A. when they get olderB. when they become parents themselvesC. if their parents sleep walkedD. if they don't sleep well45、 This passage may be from ______A. a story bookB. a travel bookC. a science bookD. a cooking bookPassage TwoOur eating habits are very important for good health and a strong body. There are times when most of us would rather eat sweets and ice cream than meat and rice. Sweets and ice cream are not bad for the stomach if we eat them at the end of a meal. If we eat them before a meal, they may take away our appetite. It is important for us to eat our meal at the same time each day. When we feel hungry, it is a sign that our bodies need food. When we feel angry or excited, we may not want to eat. When we are worried, we may not want to eat, either.A long time ago, in England, some judges used to decide whether a man was telling the truth by giving him some dry bread. If the man could not swallow the bread, it was a sign that he was not telling the truth—he was telling a lie. Although this seems very strange and rather foolish, it is indeed an excellent way of finding out the truth. A man who is worrying about something has difficulty in swallowing anything dry, because when he is worrying, he loses his appetite and does not want to eat.46、 We had better develop good eating habits if ______.A. we want to eat moreB. we want to save timeC. we want to be healthy and strongD. we want to eat less47、 ______ may take away our appetite before we have our meal.A. Either meat or riceB. Both sweets and ice creamC. Neither sweets nor ice creamD. Not only meat but also rice48、 We had better have our meals ______.A. when our work is overB. at the same time every dayC. when the meal is being cookedD. before we go back home49、 A man who is angry has ______.A. a poor appetiteB. a better appetiteC. to eat more foodD. to eat dry bread50、 The judges in old England considered that a man could ______ if he tolda lie.A. swallow dry bread easilyB. drink milk or hot waterC. hardly swallow dry breadD. eat a lot of dry breadPassage ThreeIf we take a close look at successful language learners, we may discover a few techniques which make language learning easier for them.First of all, successful language learners are independent learners. They do not rely on books or teachers; they discover their own way to learn the language. Instead of waiting for the teacher to explain everything, they try to find the patterns and the rules for themselves. They are good guessers who look for clues and form their own conclusions.Successful language learning is active learning. Therefore, successful learners do not wait for a chance to use the language; they look for such a chance. They find people who speak the language and ask these people to correct them when they make a mistake. They will try anything to communicate. When communication is difficult, they can accept information that is inexact or incomplete. It is more important for them to learn to think in the language than to know the meaning of every word.Finally, successful language learners are learners with a purpose. They want to learn the language because they are interested in the language and the people who speak it. It is necessary for them to learn the language in order to communicate with these people and to learn from them.51、 Successful language learners want to learn the language because ______.A. they have to pass the examinationB. they are interested in itC. they want to find better jobsD. they think it is very easy to learn52、 Successful language learning is active, so successful learners ______.A. only use the language in classB. try to avoid using the languageC. wait for a chance to use the languageD. look for a chance to use the language53、 According to the passage, when successful language learners meet some new words, they usually ______.A. wait for their teachers to explain themB. look them up in the dictionary at onceC. try to guess their meaningD. ask their teachers54、 Which one of the following statements is TRUE about successful language learners according to the passage? ______A. They are more intelligent than others.B. They are learners with a purpose.C. They have good teachers and good books.D. They spend much more time learning than others.55、 What is the purpose of this passage? ______A. To explain the importance of language learning.B. To compare language learning with language teaching.C. To teach people to speak a foreign language.D. To introduce some useful techniques of language learning. Passage FourDo you have a phobia (恐惧症)? Does it spread? No, it is not an infectious (传染的) disease, but it can make you quite as bad. A phobia is an unreasonable fear of some particular thing or situation. Do you know that some people fear heights? That is caned acrophobia. Many people experience claustrophobia when they are in a closed space such as a small room or an elevator. Zoophobia is a fear of animals. There are names for fear of thunder, lightning, wide open spaces, people, crowds, darkness, water, and many other things.A phobia expert tells us that in the coming of a phobic situation, a person has what is called an "anxiety attack". Blood rushes to his larger muscles in preparation for fight or flight.One expert on phobia suggests we reduce our fears gradually. A person who is afraid of people could overcome this fear by getting accustomed to them one at a time. Someone who is afraid of water could take swimming lessons in a pool with a lifeguard at hand. A person afraid of heights could practice looking down from middle heights first until he could handle the greater ones.56、 A person who is afraid of cats is most likely to have ______.A. homophobiaB. acrophobiaC. zoophobiaD. claustrophobia57、 A good way to overcome one's unreasonable fear of something would be ______.A. trying to avoid itB. preparing for fight or flightC. getting rid of the anxiety attackD. trying to get used to it58、 If you have a phobia, ______.A. you must take swimming lessons in a safe poolB. it will be as troublesome as an infectious diseaseC. you may attend some partiesD. you had better practice looking down from middle heights first59、 A man who has a phobia ______.A. is called an anxiety attackB. has blood rush to his legsC. has the feeling of flightD. fears some particular thing or situation60、 The writer of this passage tells us that ______.A. when some phobia breaks out in someone, he will feel too anxious about somethingB. a person who fears people can run a race with othersC. a man afraid of heights can climb to at all building easilyD. everyone dares to swim in pools where there is no lifeguardⅢ.

But actually the umbrella was not invented as protection against the rain. It was first used as a shade against the sun.Nobody knows who first invented it, but the umbrella was used in very ancient times. Probably the first to use it were the Chinese, way back in the eleventh century B.C.We know that the umbrella was also used in ancient Egypt and Babylon as a sunshade. (81)And there was a strange thing connected with its use; it became a symbol of honor and authority. In the Far East in ancient times, the umbrella was allowed to be used only by royal people or by those in high office.In Europe, the Greeks were the first to use the umbrella as a sunshade. And the umbrella was in common use in ancient Greece . But it is believed that the first personsin Europe to use umbrellas as protection against the rain were the ancient Romans.During the Middle Ages, the use of the umbrella practically disappeared. Then it appeared again in Italy in the 16th century. And again it became a symbol of power and authority.Umbrellas have not changed much in style during all this time, though they have become much lighter in weight. It wasn't until the twenties century that women's umbrellas began to be made in a variety of colors.41. The first use of the umbrella was as.A. Protection against the rainB. A shade against the sun.C. A symbol of powerD. A symbol of honor42. The are regarded as the people who first used umbrellas.A. RomansB. GreeksC. ChineseD. Europeans43. The umbrella was used only by royal people or those in high office .A. in Europe in the eighteenth century.B. in ancient Egypt and BabylonC. in the Far East in ancient timesD. during the Middle Ages44. According to the passage, which of the following is NOT true?A. Women's umbrellas are made in various kinds of colors.B. The inventor of the umbrella is unknown.C. Once ordinary people had no right to use umbrellas.D. Umbrellas were popular and cheap in ancient times.45. Which of the following may be the best title for the passage?A. When Was the Umbrella InventedB. The Roles of Umbrellas in HistoryC. The Colors and Shapes of UmbrellasD. Who Needed the Umbrella FirstPassage TwoDoctors are starting to find more and more information that suggests a connection between exercise and brain development. According to some research, it seems that exercise can make blood vessels, including those in the brain, stronger and more fully developed.The effects of exercise on brain development can even be seen in babies. Babies who do activities that require a lot of movement and physical activity show greater brain development than babies who are less physically active. Margaret Barnes, a pediatrician, believes in the importance of exercise. (82)She thinks that many learning disabilities that children have in elementary school or high school can be traced back to a lack of movement as babies.In studies with seniors, research has shown that exercise helps older people as well. The exercise doesn't have to be very difficult. The main goal is just to increase the heart rate. And especially when learning new movements, such as yoga or tai chi, it appears that new memory paths open up in the brain. This can improve people's short-term memory.46. What is the main idea of this passage?A. How to take exerciseB. How exercise helps the brainC. How to enjoy musicD. How the brain can change47. According to the passage, how does exercise affect the brain?A. It helps people think more clearlyB. It improves long-term memoryC. It makes babies more intelligentD. It strengthens blood vessels48. According to Margaret Barnes, many learning problems that children have in school may be caused by.A. low intelligenceB. a lack of exercise when very youngC. social problemsD. difficult relationships with teachers49. Why are voga and tai chi recommended to seniors?A. They are new movementsB. They are good for memoryC. They can slow down their heart rate.D. They are good for joints50. What type of patients does a pediatrician probably treat?A. Patients with mental problemsB. Patients with physical problemsC. ChildrenD. Old peoplePassage ThreeHow can we get rid of garbage? Do we have enough energy sources to meet our future energy needs? These are two important questions that many people are asking today. Some people think that man might be able to solve both problems at the same time. (83)They suggest using garbage as an energy source, and at the same time it can save the land to hold garbage.For a long time, people buried garbage or dumped it on empty land. Now, empty land is scarce. But more and more garbage is produced each year. However, garbage can be a good fuel to use. The things do not look like coal, petroleum, or natural gas; but they are chemically similar to these fossil fuels. As we use up our fossil fuel supplies, we might be able to use garbage as an energy source.Buring garbage is not a new idea. Some cities in Europe and the United States have been buring garbage for years. The heat that is produced by burning garbage is used to boil water. The steam that is produced is used to make electricity or to heat nearby buildings. In Pairs, France, some power plants burn almost 2 million metric tons of the city's garbage each year. The amount of energy produced is about the same as would be produced by buring almost a half million barrels of oil.But there are problems in using garbage as a fuel. Garbage that burns easily , such as food scraps (碎屑) and paper, must be separated from metals, glass, and other materials that do not burn easily. This separation process is normally costly. Another problem is that burning garbage can pollute the air.Our fossil fuel supplies are limited. Buring garbage might be one kind of energy source that we can use to help meet our energy needs. This method could also reduce the amount of garbage piling up on the earth.51. What two problems can man solve by burning problem?A. The shortage of energy and air pollutionB. The shortage of energy and the land to hold garbage.C. Air pollution and the shortage of fossil fuels.D. Air pollution and the shortage of the land to hold garbage.52. Which of the following is NOT the result of burning garbage?A. The garbage burned is turned into fossil fuels.B. The heat produced is used to boil water.C. The steam produced is used to make electricity.D. The steam produced is used to heat buildings.53. According to the passage, which of the following is NOT true?A. About 2 million metric tons of garbage is burned in France each year.B. In the modern society, more and more garbage is produced each year.C. Using garbage is a good way to solve the problem of energy shortage.D. Burning garbage is an old idea.54. According to the passage, which of the following four groups of garbage is ready for burning?A. Food scraps and metalsB. Paper and glassC. Metals and glassD. Food scraps and paper55. What is the general tone of the passage?A. OptimisticB. IndifferentC. PromotingD. AnxiousPassage FourH5N1 avian influence, known commonly as bird flu, has killed at least 15 people across Asia and was confirmed in China on January 27. No human cases have been found in the mainland, but 13 of the country's 31 provinces, autonomous regions, and municipalities (直辖市) have reported the disease in poultry.The Chinese government has taken measures to prevent and control the disease. Poultry within 3 km of infected farms is to be killed and those within 5 km to receive vaccines (疫苗). (84)Meanwhile , there will be constant monitoring and daily reports on the disease across the country, and increased production of bird flu vaccines.Among the Asian countries and regions affected by bird flue in animals,only Vietnam and Thailand have reported human cases. The people infected were reportedto have caught the disease from poultry, while the World Health Organization (WHO) said there is "no proof of human-to-human transmission(传播)" of bird flue.(85)The big fear is that the disease could combine with a human influenza virus to create a deadly new disease that will kill millions of people across the globe. Many Asian farmers live closely with their animals and sell live chickens in the market. This greatly increases the possibility of human beings infected with bird flu.A spokesman of the WHO said that Asian countries affected by bird flu should introduce a more healthy way of raising and selling chickens. And the people there have to complexly change their lifestyle and attitude towards animals. Here are some safety measures for people to stay healthy;✧∙Keep fit and well through regular exercise;✧∙Avoid infected poultry and infected people;✧∙Avoid eating raw or under-done poultry and eggs;✧∙Make sure there is always fresh air in your home;✧∙Cover your mouth and nose when coughing or sneezing;✧∙Wash your hands frequently;42. What does the word "poultry "in the passage mean?A. Wild birdsB. Wild animalsC. Home-raised birdsD. Home-raised animals43. From the passage, we can learn that.A. infected poultry within 3 km was killed in China .B. Bird flu case was confirmed in China on Jan,27.C. Human cases were found 13Asian countriesD. Over two thirds of China has been infected with bird flu44. What do people fear most?A. Poultry will infect many peopleB. The disease can spread quickly among peopleC. There will be human-to-human transmissionD. A new disease combining bird flu and human flu will break out45. One of the right ways for us to avoid bird flu is .A. To kill all the poultryB. To eat no more chickensC. To form a healthy habitD. To keep separated from others46. Which must be wrong for the Asians to change their lifestyle?A. Farmers should avoid selling live poultry in the marketB. Farmers should vaccinate their poultry regularlyC. Farmers should live more closely with their poultry.D.

Each passage is followed by five 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 1If someone is sleepwalking, they are walking around while they are asleep. Sleepwalking happens when a person is not fully asleep but not quite awake. Usually we move from our deepest level of sleep to a lighter level and stay there. Sleepwalkers come right up to wake levels but do not fully awaken. It is at this time that they get up and walk.The longer a person stays in deep sleep, the more time there is for the sleep to be broken. That opens up the possibility of being awakened (but not fully) and of sleepwalking.Sleepwalking happens more often among young people than grown-ups because young people usually have more deep sleep. Up to 7% of 5 to 12-year-olds sleepwalk, while only about 2% of grown-ups sleepwalk. We get less deep sleep as we are getting older and the possibility of sleep- walking is also reduced.Sleepwalking may run in families, too. If one of your parents was a sleepwalker, you have about a 50% possibility of also being a sleepwalker.41. This passage is about _______.A. why sleepwalking happensB. where sleepwalkers goC. what sleepwalkers doD. when sleepwalkers walk42. Who has more possibility of sleepwalking?A. Grown-ups.B. Young people.C. Old men.D. Old women.43. What does “reduced” mean in “…the possibility of sleepwalking is also reduced” in ParagraphThree?A. Opened upB. Cut downC. Kept onD. Sped up44.People have more possibility of developing sleepwalk _______.A. when they get olderB. when they become parents themselvesC. if their parents sleepwalkedD. if they don’t sleep well45. This passage may be from _______.A. a story bookB. a travel bookC. a science bookD. a cooking bookPassage 2Our eating habits are very important for good health and a strong body. There are times when most of us would rather eat sweets and ice-cream than meat and rice. Sweets and ice-cream are not bad for the stomach if we eat them at the end of the meal. If we eat them before a meal, they may take away our appetite. It is important for us to eat our meal at the same time each day. When we are hungry, it is a sign that our bodies need food. When we feel angry or excited, we may not want to eat. When we are worried, we may not want to eat, either.A long time ago, in England, some judges used to decide whether a man was telling truth by giving him some dry bread. If the man could not swallow the bread, it was sign that he wasn’t telling the trut h—he was telling a lie. Although this seems very strange and foolish, it is indeed an excellent way of finding out the truth. A man who is worrying about something has difficulty in swallowing anything dry. Because when he is worrying, he loses his appetite and does not want to eat.46. We had better develop good eating habits if _________.A. we want to eat moreB. we want to save timeC. we want to be healthy and strongD. we want to eat less47. _________ may take away our appetite before we have our meal.A. Either meat or riceB. Both sweets and ice creamC. Neither sweets nor ice creamD. Not only meat but also rice48. We had better have our meals _________.A. when our work is overB. at the same time every dayC. when the meal is being cookedD. before we go back home49. A man who is angry has _________.A. a poor appetiteB. a better appetiteC. to eat more foodD. to eat dry bread50. The judges in old England considered that a man could _________ if he told a lie.A. swallow dry bread easilyB. drink milk or hot waterC. hardly swallow dry breadD. eat a lot of dry breadPassage 3If we take a close look at these successful language learners, we may discover a few of the techniques which make language learning easier for them.First of all, successful language learners are independent learners. They do not depend on the book or the teacher; they discover their own way to learn the language. Instead of waiting for the teacher to explain, they try to find the patterns and the rules for themselves. They are good guessers who look for clues and form their own conclusions. When they guess wrong, they guess again. They try to learn from mistakes.Successful language learning is active learning. Therefore, successful learners do not wait for a chance to use the language; they look for such a chance. They find people who speak the language and they ask these people to correct them when they make a mistake. They will try anything to communicate. When communication is difficult, they can accept information that is inexact or incomplete. It is more important for them to learn to think in the language than to know the meaning of every word.Finally, successful language learners are learners with a purpose. They want to learn the language because they are interested in the language and the people who speak it. It is necessary for them to learn the language in order to communicate with these people and to learn from them.51. Successful language learners want to learn the language because ________.A. they have to pass the examinationB. they are interested in itC. they want to find better jobsD. they think it is very easy to learn52. Successful language learning is active, so successful learners ________.A. only use the language in classB. try to avoid using the languageC. wait for a chance to use the languageD. look for a chance to use the language53. According to the passage, when successful language learners meet some new words, theyusually ________.A. wait for their teachers to explain themB. look them up in the dictionary at onceC. try to guess their meaningD. ask their teachers54. Which one of the following statements is TRUE about successful language learners accordingto the passage?A. They are more intelligent than others.B. They are learners with a purpose.C. They have good teachers and good books.D. They spend much more time learning than others.55. What is the purpose of this passage?A. To explain the importance of language learning.B. To compare language learning with language teaching.C. To teach people to speak a foreign language.D. To introduced some useful techniques of language learning.Passage 4Do you have a phobia (恐惧症)? Does it spread? No, it is not an infectious (传染的) disease, but it can make you quite as bad. A phobia is an unreasonable fear of some particular thing or situation. Did you know that some people fear heights? That is called acrophobia. Many people experience claustrophobia when they are in a closed space such as a small room or an elevator. Zoophobia is a fear of animals. There are names for fear of thunder, lightning, wide open spaces, people, crowds, darkness, water, and many other things.A Phobia expert tells us that in the coming of a phobic situation a person has what is called an “anxiety attack.” Blood rushes to his larger muscles in preparation for flight or fight.One expert on phobia suggests we reduce our fears gradually. A person who is afraid of people could overcome this fear by getting accustomed to them one at a time. Someone who is afraid of water could take swimming lessons in a pool with a lifeguard at hand. A person afraid of heights could practice looking down from middle heights first until he could handle the greater ones.56. A person who is afraid of cats is most likely to have _________.A. homophobiaB. acrophobiaC. ZoophobiaD. claustrophobia57. A good way to overcome one’s unreasonable fear of something would be _________.A. trying to avoid itB. preparing for flight or fightC. getting rid of the anxiety attackD. trying to get used to it58. If you have a phobia, _________.A. you must take swimming lessons in a safe poolB. it will be as troublesome as an infectious diseaseC. you may attend some partiesD. you’d better practice looking down from middle heights first59. A man who has a phobia _________.A. is called an anxiety attackB. has blood rush to his legsC. has the feeling of flightD. fears some particular thing60. The writer of the text tells us that _________.A. when some phobia breaks out in someone, he will feel too anxious about somethingB. a person who fears people can run a race with othersC. a man afraid of heights can climb to a tall building easilyD. everyone dares to swim in pools where there is no lifeguard.Part III Cloze Test (20 points)Directions: There are 20 blanks in the following passage.

Reading Comprehension ( 50 分)Directions: In this part there are four passages. Each passage is followed by five 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 write the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet.Passage OneWhen young people get their first real jobs, they face a lot of new, confusing situations. They may find that everything is different from the way things were at school. It is also possible that they will feel uncomfortable and insecure in both professional and social situations. Eventually, they realize that university classes can't be the only preparation for all of the different situations that arise in the working world.(81) Perhaps the best way to learn how tobehave in the working world is to identify a worker you admire and observe his behavior. By doing so, you will be able to see what it is that you admire in this person. For example, you will observe how he acts in a crisis. Perhaps even more important, you will be able to see what his approach to day-to-day situations is.While you are observing your colleague, you should be asking yourself whether his behavioris like yours and how you can learn from his responses to a variety ofsituations. By watching and learning from a model, you will probably begin to identifyand adopt good working habits.41. The young people who just graduated from school may not behave well in theworking world becauseA. they were not well educated at schoolB.what they learn in university classes is not adequate for their new lifeC.the society is too complicated to adapt toD. they failed to work hard at school42. The underlined word "arise" in Para. I means.A. come into beingB. bringaboutC. go upD. cause to happen43. The best way to learn how to behave in the working world is.A. to find a worker and follow him closelyB. to find a person you respect and see how he acts in different situationsC. to find a person you admire and make friends with himD. to make the acquaintance of a model you admire44. The purpose of this writing is.A. to offer career guide to young peopleB. to tell young people the importance of the first jobC. to instruct young people how to communicate with peopleD. to advise young people on good working habits45. The passage could be best entitled _.A. Learn, Learn and Learn AgainB. One Is Never Too Old to LearnC. Learn from a ModelD. Learn ForeverPassage TwoAirline companies are responsible for transporting your luggage.If you cannot recover it at the point of arrival, you must inform the airline immediately. They will carry out the necessary search. If the luggage is recovered, it will be delivered to your place of residence. If you wish to insure your luggage, you may do so at your own expense.Some airlines restrict luggage weight to 44 pounds(20kg) ; in other cases, there is no weight restriction, but you are not allowed more than two pieces of luggage. Inquire about luggage allowances from the airline with which you will be traveling. However, you must pay extra for excess luggage, which is not reimbursed(补偿) by Canadian International Development Agency(CIDA).Each suitcase, bag or package must be clearly labeled with your name and destina-tion. (82) If you do not know the exact destination address at the time of your departure, label your luggage in care of(由……代收) the executing agency whose name appears in the Training Agreement, using the following model:Surname, first nameName of your countryAddress of the executing agencyCity, country, postal codeTelephone number of executing agencyIf you do not have this information, please label your luggage with the name and address of the institution you are to attend in Canada. If none of these details are available, you can use CIDA's address.46. If you can't find your luggage at the point of arrival, airline companies will try to find it and _.A. ask you to insure your luggageB. deliver it to where you liveC. inform you about its recoveryD. ask you to pay some money for it47. Before taking your air trip, you have to make sureA. of the restrictions on luggageB. of the insurance for luggageC. who will pay for the excess luggageD. how much CIDA will pay for the excess luggage48. The charge for the excess luggage should be paid by _.A. CIDAB. the passengerC. the insurance companyD. the executing agency49. In case you have no idea at all where to send your luggage, you can send it to theaddress of.A. the instiution you are to attendB. the airline you travel withC. the Canadian International Development AgencyD. the executive agency given in the Training Agreement50. The passage is mainly about CIDA's advice on.A. the charge of your luggageB. the handling of your luggageC. the insurance of your luggageD. the transportation of your luggagePassage ThreeSince we are social beings, the quality of our lives depends in large measure on our interpersonal relationships. One strength of human condition is our possibility to give and receive support from one another under stressful (有压力的) conditions. Social support makes up the exchanges of resources among people based on their interpersonal ties. Those of us with strong support systems appear better able to deal with major life changes and daily problems. People with strong social ties live longer and have better health than those without such ties.Studies over types of illnesses, from depression to heart disease, show that the presence of social support helps people defend themselves against illness, and the absence of such support makes poor health more likely.Social support cushions stress in a number of ways. First, friends, relatives and co- workers may let us know that they value us. Our self-respect is strengthened when we feel accepted by others in spite of our faults and difficulties. Second, other people often provide us with informational support. They help us to define and understand our problems and find solutions to them. Third, we typically find social companionshipsupportive.(83)Taking part in free-time activities with others helps us to meet our social needs while at the same timedistracting us from our worries and troubles. Finally, other people may give us instrumental support－money aid, material resources, and needed services—that reduces stress by helping us resolve and deal with our problems.51. The author mainly talks about _.A. how to improve our interpersonal relationshipsB. people's health conditionsC. how to deal with daily worries and problemsD. the importance of interpersonal relationships52. Para.2 is mainly about _.A. ways to reduce stressB. informational supportC. instrumental supportD. social companionship53. The word "cushion" in Para. 2 means.A. increase the effect ofB. reduce the effect ofC. a mat placed beneath the carpet of a sofaD. a rug placed on the floor54. Lending money to a person in trouble belongs to.A. the strengthening of self-respectB. social companionshipC. instrumental supportD. informational support55. According to the passage, which of the following is true?A. Playing chess with others in spare time is of informational support.B. Social support enables us to succeed in dealing with all kinds of problems.C. With social support, people will become perfect without any faults.D. It's possible that people who have fewer social ties are in poor health.Passage Four(84)One of the best-known proverbs must be "Early to bed, early to rise, makes a manhealthy, wealthy and wise. " The promises of health, wealth and wisdom to those who join the ranks of the early retires and risers must be particularly appealing to many people in our contemporary society. There is no doubt that one of the greatest concerns of modern man is his health. It is estimated that in the United States 200 billion dollars are spent on health care each year. The medical field has grown into such a big business that it employs 4. 8 million people and it appears that in many places, more staff is needed to meet the demands of the people whoare concerned about their physical well-being.Much more interest has been shown in preventive(预防的) medicine in recent years. (85) This is probably due in part to the increasing costs of medical treatment, but the writings of such people as Dr. Kenneth Cooper have also played an important role. In his book Aerobics,Dr. Cooper communicated his message of the benefits of exercise so effectively that many other authors have followed in his trail, and literally millions of readers have put on their sports shoes and taken to the highways and byways of America. A recent survey showed that overone million people are jogging. The last time I was in Honolulu, I wasamazedto see hundreds of people, young and old, running for their lives, and I discovered many of them had run in the Hawaiian Marathon.Exercise has also become a major part of conversation. At a dinner party recently, the president of a bank asked me, "You look like a runner; how far do you run each day?"A few days later when I appeared on a national television show, the host suddenly asked me if I was a regular runner. On both occasions the conversation turned to the subject of exercise and I found, as I have found wherever I have traveled recently, that this is a subject on many people's minds. Of course, there are still many people who are less enthusiastic about exercise. They appreciate the philosophy of Robert M. Hutchins who said, "Whenever the thought of exercise occurs to me, I lie down till it passes. "56.The underlined word "retires". in Para. 1 probably refers to.A. people who go to.bedB. people who live in quiet placesC. people who have a lot of free timeD. people who give up their work57. The first paragraph indicates that medical workers.A. can make a lot of moneyB. like running sports more than ordinary peopleC. are more concerned with their own healthD. are in great demand58.In the United States, medical treatment is.A. expensiveB. insufficientC. very effectiveD. cheap59. The pronoun "it" in the last sentence of the passage means.A. exerciseB. the thought of exerciseC. meD. nothing60. The examples of conversation in the last paragraph are used _.A. to show the writer's love for travelB. to prove that the writer was a good runnerC. to show people's interest in exerciseD. to prove that people are tired of old conversation topicsⅢ. Cloze Test ( 20分)Directions: There are 20 blanks in each of the following two passages. For each blank,there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. You should choose the ONE that best fitsinto the passage. Then write the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet.SectionA (非英语专业学生做)Shopping for clothes is not thesame experience for a man61it is for a woman. A man goes shopping because he needs something definitely.His purpose is settled and decided in62.He knows what he wants, and his63is to find it and get it.Almost all men simply walk into a shop and ask the assistant for their needs if they are not in a supermarket.If the shop has them in64, the deal can be made in less than five minutes, with _ 65_ any chat and to everyone's satisfaction.For a man, slight problems may begin when the shop does not have 66he wants.In that case, the salesman tries to sell the customer something _67he offers the nearest to the article required. Good salesman brings out such a substitute with68: "I know this is not the style you want, sir; but would you like to try it for size? It happens to _ 69the color you told me." Few men70patience with this kind of treatment, and the usual response is: "This is the right color and maybe the right size, _ 71 _ I should be wasting my time and yours by trying it72."For a woman, buying clothes is always done in the opposite way. She goes73 when she wants to wander on the streets. She has never been fully aware what she wants, and she is only "window shopping", She is always open74persuasion, willing to try on75number of things. Uppermost in her mind is the thought of finding76that everyone thinks suits her. Most women have an excellent sense ofvalue and are always on the look-out for the unexpected77.

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 1After a day of work and play, the body needs to rest. Enough sleep is necessary for good health. During this time, the body recovers from the activities of the previous day. The rest that you get while sleeping enables your body to prepare itself for the next day.There are four levels of sleep, each being a little deeper than the one before. As you sleep, your muscles relax little by little. Your heart beats more slowly, and your brain slows down. After you reach the fourth level, your body shifts back and forth from one level of sleep to another.Although your mind slows down, from time to time you will dream. Scientists who study sleep state that when dreaming occurs, your eyeballs begin to move more quickly （Although your eyelids are closed ）.

We tend to blame TV, he says, for problems it doesn't really cause, overlooking our own roles in shaping children's minds.One traditional belief about television is that it reduces a child's ability to think and to understand the world. While watching TV, children do not merely absorb words and images （影像）.Instead, they learn both stated and implied meanings from what they see, Actually, children learn early the psychology of characters in TV shows. Furthermore, as many teachers agree, children understand far more when their parents watch TV with them, explaining new words and ideas. Yet, most parents use an educational program as a chance to sit their kids in front of the TV set and do something in another room.Another argument against television is that it replaces reading as a form of entertainment. But according to Anderson, the amount of time spent watching television is not related to reading ability. TV doesn't take the place of reading for most children; it takes the place of similar sorts of recreation, such as listening to the radio and playing sports. Things like parents' educational background have a stronger influence on a child's reading. ”A child's reading ability is best predicted by how m uch a parent reads/1 Anderson says.Traditional wisdom also has it that heavy television-watching lowers children's IQ scores and affects their school performance. But here, too, Anderson notes that no studies have proved it. In fact, research suggests that it's the other way around.11 If you're smart young, you'll watch less TV when you*re older/ Anderson says. Yet, people of lower IQ tend to be lifelong television viewers.Foryears, researchers have attempted to show that television is dangerous to children. However, by showing that television promotes none of the dangerous effects as conventionally 0专统土也）believed, Anderson suggests that television cannot be blamed without considering other influences.46.By watching TV, children learnA. images through wordsB. both stated and implied meaningsC. more about images than wordsD. little about people's psychology47.According to the passage, an educational program is best watched by childrenA. on their ownB. with other kidsC. with their parentsD. with their teachers48.Which of the following is most related to children's reading ability?A. Listening to the radio.B. Watching television.C. Parents1 reading list.D. Parents1 educational background.49.Anderson believed thatA.the more children watch TV. the smarter they areB.the younger children are, the more they watch TVC.the smarter children are, the less likely they are more interested in watching TVD.the less children watch TV, the better they perform at school50.What is the purpose of the passage?A.To advise that TV should be used for educationakpurposes.B.To describe the harmful effects of TV on children.C.To explain traditional views of influences that TV has had on children.D.To suggest that television cannot be blamed for problems it doesn't cause.Passage 3It was a cold winter day. A woman drove up to the Rainbow Bridge tollbooth （收费站）.“ I'm paying for myself, and for the six cars-behind me/ she said with a smile. One after another, the next six drivers arriving at* the tollbooth were informed, "Some lady up ahead already you're your fare/' It turned out that the woman, Natalie Smith, had read something on a friend's refrigerator: n Practice random （随意的）kindness and senseless acts of beauty.'* The phrase impressed her so much that she copied it down.Judy Foreman spotted the same phrase on a warehouse wall far away from home When it stayed on her mind for days, she decided to drive all the way back to copy it down. "I thought it was beautiful/ she said, explaining why she would write it at the bottom of all her let ters, “like a message from above." Her husband, Frank, liked the phrase so much that he put it up on the classrOom.walkfor his students, one of whom was the daughter of Alice Johnson, a local news reporter. ~ Alice .put it in the newspaper, admitting that though she liked i.t, she did not know here it came from or what it really meant.Two days later, Alice got a call from Anne Herbert, a woman living in Matin. It was in a restaurant that Anne wrote the phrase down on a piece of paper, after turning it around in her mind for days."Here's the idea/1 Anne says. "Anything you think there should be more of, do it randomly/* Her fantasies include painting the classrooms of old schools, leaving hot meals on kitchen tables in the poor part of town, and giving money secretly to a poor old lady. Anne says, ”Kindness can build on itself as much as violence can/1The acts of random kindness spread. If you were one of those drivers who found your fare aid, who knows what you might have been inspired to do for someone else later. Like all great events, kindness begins slowly, with every single act. Let it be yours!51.Why did Natalie Smith pay for the six cars behind her?A.She knew the car drivers well.B.She wanted to show kindness.C.She hoped to please others.D.She had seven tickets.52.Judy Foreman copied down the phrase because sheA.thought it was beautifully writtenB.wanted to know what it really meantC.decided to write it on a warehouse wallD.wanted her husband to put it up in the classroom53.Who wrote the phrase down on a piece of paper according to the passage?A. Judy Foreman.B. Natalie Smith.C. Alice Johnson.D. Anne Herbert.54.Which of the following statements is closest in meaning to the underlined sentence in thepassage?A.Kindness and violence can change the world.B.Kindness and violence can affect people's behavior.C.Kindness and violence can reproduce themselves.D.Kindness and violence can shape people's character.55.What can be inferred from the last paragraph?A.People should not practice random kindness to those in need.B.People who receive kindness are likely to offer it to others.C.People should not practice random kindness to strangers they meet.D.People who receive kindness are less likely to pay it back to the giver.Passage 4Peter loved to buy used articles. Almost a month ago, he bought a popular word game that used little pieces of wood with different letters on them. As he was purchasing it, the salesgirl said, "Uh, look, the game box hasn1t even been opened yet. That might be worth some money/'Peter examined the box, and sure enough, it was completely covered in factory-sealed plastic. He saw a date of 1973 on the back of the box."You should put that up for auction （拍卖）on the Internet, and see what happens/* the salesgirl said."Yes, you're right. People like something rare/' Peter agreed, n l can't imagine there being very any unopened boxes of this game still around 40 years later/*"Don't forget to tell me if you sell it,n the salesgirl smiled.”No problem/1 Peter said.After he got home, Peter went online to several auction websites looking for his game, but he could not find it. Then he typed in the name of the word game and hit SEARCH. The search result was 543 websites containing information about the changes of the game. Over the years, the game had been produced using letters in different sizes and game boards in different colors. He also found some lists of game fans looking for various versions of the game. Peter emailed some of them, telling them what he had.Two weeks later, Peter went back to the shop."Hello! Do you still remember the unopened word game?"The salesgirl looked at him for a second, then recognized him and said, ”Oh, hi!""I've got something for you," Peter said.

Translate the following paragraph into Chinese: (10 points) Rummaging through the fruit and veg section of my local supermarket, reading the country of origin labels, I am bewildered by the geography of it all. That the fruits of the earthshould all be laid out on tidy shelves in this provincial corner of Britain would have been unthinkable a few years ago, yet now it is taken for granted.Once strange and exotic fruits that only the rich could afford, if not now part of everyones diet, are certainly part of our everydayshopping experience. So much so that instead of focusing on the novel, I am drawn to the commonplace. Here, among the humble vegetables, something strange and disturbing is going on.V.

Reading Comprehension (38 points)Clearly if we are to participle in the society in which we live we must communicate with other people. A great deal of communicating is performed on a person-to-person basis by the simple means of speech. If we travel in buses, buy things in shops, or eat in restaurants, we are likely to have conversations where we give information or opinions, receive news or comment, and very likely have our views challenged by other members ofsociety.Face-to-face contact is by no means the only form of communication and during the last two hundred years the art of has become of one of the dominating factors ofcontemporary society. Two things, above others, have caused the enormous growth of the communication industry. Firstly, inventiveness has led to advances in printing, telecommunications, photography, radio and television. Secondly, speed has revolutionized the transmission and reception of communications so that local news often takes a back seat to national news, which itself is often almost eclipsed by international news.No longer is the possession of information confined to a privileged minority. In the last century the wealthy man with his own library was indeed fortunate, but today there are public libraries. Forty years ago people used to flock to the cinema, but now far more people sit at home and turn on the TV to watch a programme that is being channeled into millions of homes.Communication is no longer merely concerned with the transmission of information. The modern communication industry influences the way people live in society and broadens their horizons by allowing access to information, education and entertainment. The printing, broadcasting and advertising industries are all involved with informing,educating and entertaining.Although a great deal of the material communicated by the mass media is very valuable to the individual and to the society of which he is apart, the vast modern network of communications is open to abuse. However, the mass media are with us for better, for worse,and there is no turning back.1. In the first paragraph the writer emphasizes the _________ offace-to-face contact insocial settings.A natureB limitationC usefulnessD creativity2. It is implied in the passage that_______A local news used to be the only source of informationB local news still takes a significant placeC national news is becoming more popularD international news is the fastest transmitted news3. which of the following statement is INCORRECT?A To possess information used to be a privilegeB Public libraries have replaced private librariesC Communication means more than transmissionD Information influences ways of life and thinking4.From the last paragraph we can infer that the writer is________.A indifferent to the harmful influence of the mass mediaB happy about the drastic changes in the mass mediaC pessimistic about the future of the mass mediaD concerned about the wrong use of the mass mediaI am one of the many city people who are always saying that giventhe choice we would prefer to live in the country away from the dirt andnoise of a large city. I have managed to convince myself thatit werent for my job I would immediately head out for the open spaces and go back to nature in some sleepy village buried in the country. But howrealistic is the dream?Cities can be frightening places. The majority of the populationlive in massive tower blocks, noisy, dirty and impersonal. The sense of belonging to a community tends to disappear when you live fifteen floors up. All you can see from your window is sky, or other blocks of flats. Children become aggressive and nervouscooped up at home all day, with nowhere to play; their mothers feel isolated from the rest of the world. Strangely enough whereas in the past the inhabitants of one street all knew each other, nowadays people on the same floor in tower blocks dont even say hello to each other.Country life, on the other hand, differs from this kind of isolated existence in that a sense of community generally binds the inhabitants of small villages together. People have the advantage of knowing that there is always someone to turn to when they need help. But country life has disadvantages too. While it is true that you may be among friends in a village, it is also true that you are cut off from the existing and important events that take place in cities. Theres little possibility of going to a new show or the latest movie. Shopping becomes a major problem, andfor anything slightly out of the ordinary you have to go on and expedition to the nearest large town. The city-dweller who leaves forthe country is often oppressed by a sense of unbearable stillness and quiet.What, then, is the answer? The country has the advantage of peaceand quiet, but suffers from the disadvantage of being cut off; the city breeds a feeling of isolation, and constant noise batters the senses.But one of its main advantages is that you are at the center of things, and that life doesnt come to an end at half-past nine at night. Some people have found (or rather bought) a compromise between the two; they have expressed their preference for the quiet life by leaving the suburbs and moving to villages within commuting distance of large cities. They generally have about as much sensitivity as the plastic flowers they leave behind they are polluted with strange ideas about change and improvement which they force on to the unwilling original inhabitants of the villages.What then of my dreams of leaning on a cottage gate and murmuring morning to the locals as they pass by? Im keen on the idea, but you see theres my cat, T oby, Im not at all sure that he would take to all that fresh air and exercise in the long grass, I mean, can you see him mixing with all those hearty males down the farm? No, he would rather have the electric imitation-coal fire any evening.5. We get the impression from the first paragraph that the authorA used to live in the countryB used to work in the cityC works in the cityD lives in the country6. In the authors opinion, the following may cause city people to be unhappy EXCEPT A a strong sense of fear B lack ofcommunicationC housing conditionsD a sense of isolation7. The passage implies that it is easy to buy the following thingsin the country EXCEPT A daily necessities B fresh fruitsC designer clothesD fresh vegetables8. According to the passage, which of the following adjectives best describes those people who work in large cities and live in villages?A OriginalB QuietC ArrogantD Insensitive9. Do you think the author will move to the country?A Yes, he will do soB No, he will not do soC It is difficult to tellD He is in two mindsIdeas about education are changing in the United States. Education today is not just a high school diploma or a college degree. Many adults are not interested in going to college. They are interested in other kinds of learning. For them, learning does not end with a diploma.Continuing education gives these adults the opportunity to increase their knowledge about their own field or to learn about a new field. It also gives them a chance to improve their old skills or to learn new ones.Scientists, mechanics and barbers can take classes toimprove their work skills. If they know more or learn more, they can get a better job or earn more money.Continuing education classes give more adults the chances to learn new skills. There is usually a large variety of classes to choose from: typing, foreign cooking, photography, auto repair, furniture repair, or swimming. These are only some of the classes available.Some adults take classes for fun or because the class will be useful for them. Other adults take continuing education classes to improve their own lives because they want to feel better about themselves.Almost any community college or public school system has a continuing education program. There are classes in schools, community buildings or churches. Most classes are in the evening, so working people can attend. The classes are usually small, and they are inexpensive.10. The new idea about education in the U.S. is that__________.A. everyone should get a college degreeB. Its no use for adults to go to collegeC. a high school diploma is the end of educationD. adults should go on learning after graduating from school11. Whats the purpose for adults to continue their education?A. Enlarge their knowledge and learn new skills.B. Catch up the opportunity to get a higher degree.C. Learn more basic knowledge to get a diploma.D. Make themselves live a more comfortable life.12. Which of the following statement is true?A. There are only a few continuing education classes available for adults.B. Only those who want to get more money should go onwith their education.C. People take continuing education can get a good job.D. All the people getting continuing education can get a good job.13. Usually, the continuing education program is given________.A. in a small size and expensivelyB. only for working peopleC. only in community buildings or churchesD. by community colleges and public schools14. The best title for the passage would be _________.A. Continuing Education ClassesB. The Importance of a College DegreeC. A Good Way to Earn More MoneyD. Difference Choices for AdultsHuman cloning technology could be used to reverse heart attacks. Scientists believe that they may be able to treat heart attack victims by cloning their healthy heart cells and injecting them into the areas of the heart that have been damaged, and other problems may be solved if human cloning and its technology are not forbidden.With cloning, infertile couples could have children. Current treatments for infertility, in terms of percentages, are not very successfully. Couples go through physically and emotionally painfulprocedures for a small chance of having children. Many couples run out of time and money without successfully having children. Human cloning could make it possible for many more infertile couples to have children than ever before.We should be able to clone the bone marrow for childrenand adults suffering from leukemia. This is expected to be one of the first benefits to come from cloning technology.We may learn how to switch cells on and off through cloning and thus be able to cure cancer.Cloning technology can be used to test for and perhaps cure gene-related diseases.The above is just a few examples of what human cloning technology can do for mankind. This new technology promises unprecedented advancement in medicine if people will release their fears and let the benefits begin.15Heart attacks can be treated with human cloning technologyby___________.A removing the damaged part of the heartB replacing the old heart with a cloned oneC repairing the heart with cells cloned from healthy onesD giving the patients injections of various medicines16. The word infertile(Line 1, Para.2) most probablymeans____________.A unable to give birth to a childB with physical and emotional problemsC short of time and moneyD separated from each other for long17.

Reading Comprehension (50分)Directions: There are 4 reading passages in this part. Each passage is followed by some questions. For each of them there are four choices markedA, B, C and D. You should decide on the best choice and mark the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet.Passage OneQuestions 41 to 45 are based on the following passage:Today, as in every other day of the year, more than 3000 U.S. adolescents will smoke their first cigarette on their way to becoming regular smokers as adults. During their lifetime, it can be expected that of these 3000about 23 will be murdered, 30 will die in traffic accidents, and nearly 750will be killed by a smoking-related disease. The number of deaths attributedto cigarette smoking outweighs all other factors, whether voluntary or involuntary, as a cause of death. Since the late 1970s, when daily smoking among high school seniors reached 30 percent, smoking rates among youth have declined. While the decline is impressive, several important issues must be raised. First, in the past several years, smoking rates among youth have declined very little. Second, in the late 1970s, smoking among male high school seniors exceeded that among female by nearly 10 percent. The statisticis reversing. Third, several recent studies have indicate high school dropoutshave excessively high smoking rates, as much as 75 percent .Finally, though significant declines in adolescent smoking have occurredin the past decade, no definite reasons for the decline exist. Within this context, the National Cancer Institute (NCI) began its current effort to determine the most effective measures to reduce smoking levels among youth.41. According to the author, the deaths among youth are mainly caused by _____.A. traffic accidentsB. smoking-related diseaseC. murderD.all of these42.Every otherday there are over_____high school students who will become regular smoker.A. 75B. 23C. 30D. 300043. By "dropout" the author means______.A. students who failed the examinationB.students who left schoolC. students who lost their wayD.students who were driven out of school44.The reason for declining adolescent smoking is that ________.A. NCI has taken effective measuresB.smoking is prevented among high school seniorsC. there are many smokers who have died of cancerD.none of these45. What is implied but not stated by the author is that ________.A. smoking rates among youth have declined very littleB.there are now more female than male smokers among high school seniorsC. high smoking rates are due to the increase in wealthD. smoking at high school are from low socio-economic backgrounds Passage TwoQuestions 46 to 50 are based on the following passage:There are two factors which determine an individual’s intelligence. The first is the sort of brain he is born with. Human brains differ considerably, some being more capable than others. But no matter how good a brain he hasto begin with, an individual will have a low order of intelligence unless he has opportunities to learn. So the second factor is what happens to the individual—the sort of environment in which he is reared. If an individual is handicapped environmentally, it is likely that his brain will fail to develop and he will never attain the level of intelligence of which he is capable.The importance of environment in determining an individual’s intelligence can be demonstrated by the case history of the identical twins, Peter and Mark X. Being identical, the twins had identical brains at birth, and their growth processes were the same. When the twins were three months old, their parents died, and they were placed in separate foster homes. Peter was reared by parents of low intelligence in an isolated community with poor educational opportunities. Mark was reared in the home of well-to-do parents who had been to college. He was read to as a child, sent to good schools, and given every opportunity to be stimulated intellectually. This environmental difference continued until the twins were in their late teens, when they weregiven tests to measure their intelligence. Mark’s I.Q. was 125, twenty-five points higher than the average and fully forty points higher than his identical brother. Given equal opportunities, the twins, having identical brains, would have tested at roughly the same level.46. This selection can best be titled_________.A. Measuring Your IntelligenceB. Intelligence and EnvironmentC. The Case of Peter and MarkD. How the brain Influences Intelligence47. The best statement of the main idea of this passage is that _____.A. human brains differ considerablyB. the brain a person is born with is important in determining his intelligenceC. environment is crucial in determining a person’s intelligenceD. persons having identical brains will have roughly the same intelligence48. According to the passage, the average I.Q. is _____.A.85B.100C.110D.12549. The case history of the twins appears to support the conclusion that _______.A. individual with identical brains seldom test at same levelB. an individual’s intelligence is determined only by his environmentC. lack of opportunity blocks the growth of intelligenceD. changes of environment produce changes in the structure of the brain50. This passage suggests that an individual’s I.Q.______.A. can be predicted at birthB. stays the same throughout his lifeC. can be increased by educationD. is determined by his childhood Passage ThreeQuestions 51 to 55 are based on the following passage:Grandma Moses is among the most celebrated twentieth century painters of the United States, yet she had barely started painting before she was in her late seventies. As she once said of herself: “I would never sit back in a rocking chair, waiting for someone to help me.” No one could have had a more productive age.She was born Anna Mary Robertson on a farm in New York State, one of five boys and five girls. (“We came in bunches, like radishes.”) At twelve she left home and was in domestic service until, at twenty seven, she married Thomas Moses, the hired hand of one of her employers. They farmed most of their lives, first in Virginia and then in New York State, at Eagle Bridge. She had ten children, of whom five survived; her husband died in 1927.Grandma Moses painted a little as a child and made embroidery pictures as a hobby,but only switched to oils in old age because her hands had become too stiff to sew and she wanted to keep busy and pass the time. Her pictures were first sold at the local drugstore and at a fair, and were soon spotted by a dealer who bought everything she painted. Three of the pictures were exhibited in the Museum of Modern Art, and in 1940 she had her first exhibition in New York. Between the 1930's and her death she produced some 2,000 pictures: detailed and lively portrayals of the rural life she had known for so long, with a marvelous sense of color and form. “I think really hard till I think of something really pretty, and then I paint it.” she said.51. Which of the following would be the best title for the passage?A. Grandma Moses: A Biographical SketchB. The Children of Grandma MosesC. Grandma Moses: Her Best ExhibitionD. Grandma Moses and Other Older Artists52. According to the passage, Grandma Moses began to paint because she wanted to ____.A. decorate her homeB. keep activeC. improve her salaryD. gain an international reputation53. From Grandma Moses' description of herself in the first paragraph, it can be inferred that she was ____.A. independentB. prettyC. wealthyD. timid54. Grandma Moses spent most of her life ____.A. nursingB. paintingC. embroideringD. farming55. In line 14, the word “spotted” could best be replaced by ____.A. speckledB. featuredC. noticedD. damagedPassage FourQuestions 56 to 60 are based on the following passage:Someday a stranger will read your e-mail without your permission or scan the Websites you’ve visited. Or perhaps someone will casually glance through your credit card purchases or cell phone bills to find out your shopping preferences or calling habits.In fact, it’s likely some of these things have already happened to you. Who would watch you without your permission? It might be a spouse, a girlfriend, a marketing company, a boss, a cop or a criminal. Whoever it is, they will see you in a way you never intended to be seen——21st century equivalent of being caught naked.Psychologists tell us boundaries are healthy, that it’s important to revealyourself to friends, family and lovers in stages, at appropriate times. But few boundaries remain. The digital bread crumbs(碎屑) you leave everywhere make it easy for strangers to reconstruct who you are, where you are and what you like. In some cases, a simple Google search can reveal what you think. Like it or not, increasingly we live in a world where you simply cannot keep a secret.The key question is: Does that matter?For many Americans, the answer apparently is "no."When opinion polls ask Americans about privacy, most say they are concerned about losing it. A survey found an overwhelming pessimism about privacy, with 60 percent of respondents saying they feel their privacy is "slipping away, and that bothers me."But people say one thing and do another. Only a tiny fraction of Americans change any behaviors in an effort to preserve their privacy. Few people turn down a discount at tollbooths(收费站) to avoid using the EZ-Pass system that can track automobile movements. And few turn down supermarket loyalty cards. Privacy economist Alessandro Acquits has run a series of tests that reveal people will surrender personal information like Social Security numbers just to get their hands on a pitiful 50-cents-off coupon(优惠券).But privacy does matter——at least sometimes. It’s like health: When you have it, you don’t notice it. Only when it’s gone do you wish you’d done more to protect it.56. What does the author mean by saying "the 21st century equivalent of being caught naked"(Para. 2)?A. People’s personal information is easily accessed without their knowledge.B. In the 21st century people try every means to look into others’ secrets.C. People tend to be more frank with each other in the information age.D. Criminals are easily caught on the spot with advanced technology.57. What would psychologists advise on the relationships between friends?A. Friends should open their hearts to each other.B. Friends should always be faithful to each other.C. There should be a distance even between friends.D. There should be fewer disputes between friends.58. Why does the author say "we live in a world where you simply cannot keep a secret"(Para. 3)?A. Modern society has finally evolved into an open society.B. People leavetraces around when using modern technology.C. There are always people who are curious about others’ affairs.D. Many search engines profit by revealing people’s identities.59. What do most Americans do with regard to privacy protection?A. They change behaviors that might disclose their identity.B. They use various loyalty cards for business transactions.C. They rely more and more on electronic devices.D. They talk a lot but hardly do anything about it.60. According to the passage, privacy is like health in that _____.A. people will make every effort to keep itB. its importance is rarely understoodC. it is something that can easily be lostD. people don’t cherish it until they lose itIII.

He was so 61 what he had bought that he offered to 62 the mushrooms with his brother officers. When their breakfast arrived the next day，each officer found some mushrooms on his plate. “Let the dog 63 a piece first，”suggested one 64 officer who was afraid that the mushrooms might be poisonous. The dog seemed to 65 his mushrooms，and the officers then began to eat their meal saying that the mushrooms had a very strange 66 quite pleasant taste. An hour 67 ， however， they were all astonished when the gardener rushed on and said 68 the dog was dead. 69， the officers jumped into their cars and rushed into the nearest hospital.

they are asleep.Sleepwalking happens when a person is not fully asleep but not quite ually we deepest level of sleep to a lighter level and stay there.Sleepwalkers come right up to wake levels but do not fully awaken.It is at this time that they get up and walk.The longer a person stays in deep sleep,the more time it take for the sleep to be broken.That opens up the possibility of being awakened(but not fully)and of sleepwalking.Sleepwalking happens more often among young people than grown-ups because you people usually have more deep sleep.Up to7%of of to12-year-olds sleepwalk,while only about2%of grown-ups sleepwalk.We get less deep sleep as we are getting older and the possibility of sleepwalking is also reducedSleepwalking may run in families,too.If one of your parents was a sleepwalker you have about a50% possibility of also being a sleepwalker.(169words)41.This passage is about.A.why sleepwalking happensB.where sleepwalkers goC.what sleepwalkers doD.when sleepwalkers walk42.Who has more possibility of sleepwalking?.A.Grown-upsB.Young peopleC.Old menD.Old women43.What does“reduced”mean in“…the possibility of sleepwalking is also reduced”in Paragraph Three?A.Opened up.B.Cut down.C.Kept on.D.Sped up.44.People have more possibility of developing sleepwalk.A.when they get olderB.when they become parents themselvesC.if their parents sleepwalkedD.if they don’t sleep well45.This passage may be from.A.a storybookB.a travel bookC.a science bookD.a cooking bookPassage TwoOur eating habits are very important for good health and a strong body.There are times when most of us would rather cat sweets and ice cream than meat and rice.Sweets and ice cream are not bad for the stomach if we eat them at the end of a meal.If we eat them before a meal,they may take away our appetite.It is important for us to eat our meal at the same time each day.When we feel hungry,it is a sign that our bodies need food.When we feel angry or excited,we may not want to eat When we arc worried,we may not want to eat,either.A long time ago,in England,some judges used to decide whether a man was telling the truth by giving him some dry bread.If the man could not swallow the bread,it was a sign that he was not telling the truth---he was telling a lie.Although this seems very strange and rather foolish,it is indeed an excellent way of finding out the truth.A man who is worrying about something has difficulty in swallowing anything dry,because when he is worrying,he loses his appetite and does not want to eat.(209words)46.We had better develop good eating habits if.A.we want to eat moreB.we want to save timeC.we want to be healthy and strongD.we want to eat less47.may take away our appetite before we have our meal.A.Either meat or rice.B.Both sweets and ice creamC.Neither sweets nor ice creamD.Not only meat but also rice48.We had better have our meals.A.when our work is overB.at the same time every dayC.when the meal is being cookedD.before we go back home49.A man who is angry has.A.a poor appetiteB.a better appetiteC.to eat more foodD.to eat dry bread50.The judges in old England considered that a man could if he told a lie.A.swallow dry bread easilyB.drink milk or hot waterC.hardly swallow dry breadD.eat a lot of dry breadPassage ThreeIf we take a close look at successful language learners,we may discover a few techniques which make language learning easier for them.First of all,successful language learners are independent learners.They do not rely on books or teachers; they discover their own way to learn the language.Instead of waiting for the teacher to explain everything, they try to find the patterns and the rules for themselves.They are good guesser who look for clues and formtheir own conclusions.Successful language learning is active learning.Therefore,successful learners do not wait for a chance to use the language;they look for such a chance.They find people who speak the language and ask these people to correct them when they make a mistake.They will try anything to communicate.When communication is difficult,they can accept information that is inexact or incomplete.It is more important for them to learn to think in the language than to know the meaning of every word.Finally,successful language learners are learners with a purpose.They want to learn the language because they are interested in the language and the people who speak it.It is necessary for them to learn the language in order to communicate with these people and to learn from them.(215words)51.Successful language learners want to learn the language because.A.they have to pass the examinationB.they are interested in itC.they want to find better jobsD.they think it is very easy to learn52.Successful language learning is activity,so successful learners.A.only use the language in classB.try to avoid using the languageC.Wait for a chance to use languageD.look for a chance to use the language53.According to the passage,when successful language learners meet some new words,they usually.A.wait for their teachers to explain themB.look them up in the dictionary at onceC.try to guess their meaningD.ask their teachers54.Which one of the following statements is TRUE about successful language learners according to the passage?.A.They are more intelligent than others.B.They are learners with a purpose.C.They have good teachers and good books.D.They spend much more time learning than others.55.What is the purpose of this passage?.A.To explain the importance of language learning.B.To compare language learning with language teaching.C.To teach people to speak a foreign language.D.To introduce some useful techniques of language learning.Passage FourDo you have a phobia(恐惧症)?Does it spread?No,it is not an infectious(传染的)disease,but it can make you quite as bad.A phobia is an unreasonable fear of some particular thing or situation.Did you know that some people fear heights?That is called acrophobia.Many people experience claustrophobia when theyare in a closed space such as a small room or an elevator.Zoophobia is a fear of animals.There are names for fear of thunder,lightning,wide open spaces,people,crowds,darkness,water,and many other things.A phobia expert tells us that in the coming of a phobic-situation,a person has what is called an“anxiety attack.”Blood rushes to his larger muscles in preparation for flight or fight.One expert on phobia suggests we reduce our fears gradually.A person who is afraid of people could overcome this fear by getting accustomed to them one at a time.Someone who is afraid of water could take swimming lessons in a pool with a lifeguard at hand.A person afraid of heights could practice looking down from middle heights first until he could handle the greater ones.(203words)56.A person who is afraid of cats is most likely to have.A.homophobiaB.acrophobiaC.zoophobiaD.claustrophobia57.A good way to overcome one’s unreasonable fear of something would be.A.trying to avoid itB.preparing for flight or fightC.getting rid of the anxiety attackD.trying to get used to it58.If you have a phobia,.A.you must take swimming lessons in a safe poolB.it will be as troublesome as an infectious diseaseC.you may attend some partiesD.you had better practice looking down from middle heights first59.A man who has a phobia.A.is called an anxiety attackB.has blood rush to his legsC.has the feeling of flightD.fears some particular thing or situation60.The writer of this passage tells us that.A.when some phobia breaks out in someone,he will feel too anxious about somethingB.a person who fears people can run a race with othersC.a man afraid of heights can climb to a tall building easilyD.everyone dares to swim in pools where there is no lifeguardIII.Cloze Test(20points)Last week Linda had a job interview,but she was a few minutes late.Wilson61the office when she got there.His secretary told her he62back soon.She63to sit down and wait

proverb goes,“Honesty is the best policy.”For one thing,if you want to be trusted and respected,you must be honest.A liar is always looked down upon by the people around.For another,if you want to succeed in your work,honesty is the first quality you shouldhave.Therefore,no matter what dream you have,you should be honest to make it come true.Part V Writing(20points)Directions:For this part,you

Reading Comprehension(50 points)Directions: There are 4 passages in this part, each passage is followed by some ques-tions or unfinished statements. For each of them, there are four choices marked A, B,C, and D. You should decide on the best choice and blacken the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet.Passage OneLearning how to write is like taking a course in public speaking. I'd ask whether anyone in class had ever taken such a course. Invariably a few hands would go up."What did you learn in that course?" I would ask."Well, the main thing was learning how to face an audiencO--not to be inhibited （拘谨；抑制) ... not to be nervous---"Exactly, when you take a course in public speaking nowadays, you don't hear much about grammar and vocabulary. Instead, you're taught how not to be afraid or embar-rassed, how to speak without a prepared script, and how to reach out to the live audi-ence before you. Public.speaking is a matter of overcoming your longstanding nervous inhibitions.It is the same in writing. The point of the whole thing is to overcome your nervous inhibitions, and to break through the invisible barrier that separates you from the per-son who'll read what you wrote. You must learn to sit in front of your typewriter or dictating machine and reach out to the person at the other end of the line.Of course, in public speaking, with the audience right in front of you, the problem is easier. You can look at them and talk to them directly. In writing, you're alone. It needs an effort of your experience or imagination to take hold of that other person and talk to him or her.

Resources on land are beginning to grow less. The sea, however, still offers hope to supply many of man's needs.The riches of the sea yet to be developed by man's technology are impressive. Oil and gas explorations have existed for nearly thirty years. Valuable amounts of minerals such as iron, nickel, and copper and so on exist on the ocean floor, ready to be mined.Fish farming promises to be a good way to produce large quantities of food. The culture of fish and shellfish is an ancient skill practiced in the past mainly by Oriental peoples.Besides oil and gas, the sea may offer new sources of energy. Experts. believe that the warm temperature of the ocean can be used in.a way similar to the steam in a steam-ship. Ocean currents and waves offer possible use as a source of energy such as hydroe-lectric power.Technology is enabling man to explore ever deeper under the sea. The new under-sea technology is providing divers with diving suits and undersea chambers that a.re kept at sea level pressure. The development of strong, new materials has made this possible.The technology to harvest the sea continues to improve. By the year 2000, experts believe that the problems to exploit the food, minerals, and energy sources of the sea will be largely solved,46.What is the best title for the passage?A.Needs of ManB.

To illustrate that man can make use of sources of energy from the sea.49.It can be inferred from the passage that .A.man hasn't completely developed the riches of the seaB. technology for exploring the sea has been solvedC. planting rice in the sea will be made possible in a short timeD. in the near future man can live on the ocean floor50.The word "exploit" in the last paragraph could best be replaced by ____.A.EvaluateB.DevelopC.gatherD. scatterPassage ThreeYour passport is your official identification as an American citizen. In America,most people never consider obtaining a passport unless they are planning a trip out of the country. In Europe, where travel from one country to another is much more com-mon, almost everyone 'carries a passport. A passport is the final proof of identity in al-most everyi county in the world.In 1979 almost 15 million Americans held passports. Most of these passports were obtained to travel outside the country because, except for a few Western nations, pass-ports are required tt> enter every country. And if you travel abroad, you must have a valid passport to reenter the country.When traveling abroad, you will need a passport for identification when exchanging dollars for francs or marks or other foreign currency. . You may also need your passport to use a credit card', buy an airplane ticket or check into a hotel. As a passport is an of-ficial U. S. document, it is valuable as identification in any emergency overseas, such as floods, fires or war.Don't confuse passports and visas. Whereas a passport is issued by a country to its citizens, a visa is official permission to visit a country granted by the government of that country. For some years, many countries were dropping their visa requirements, but that trend has reversed.. Argentina, Brazil, and Venezuela now require visas from U. S.citizens. They may be obtained from the embassy of the country you wish to visit.Passport applications are available at passport agency offices in large cities like Bos-ton, New York, or Chicago. In smaller cities, applications are available at post offices and at federal courts; To get your first passport, you must submit the application in person, along with a birth certificate and two pictures.51.The main purpose of this passage is to .A.discuss traveling in other countriesB. distinguish between passports and visasC. discuss the financial uses of a passportD. provide information about passports52.Passports are beneficial for .A.exchanging currency ·B. using a credit cardC. checking into hotelsD. all of the above53.We can conclude from the passage that .A.every country requires a visa from a foreign citizenB. not every country requires a visa from a foreign citizenC. only countries like Argentina, Brazil, and Venezuela now requirb visas from U. S. citizensD. passports are obtained at the embassy once you' enter a country54. The passage suggests that .A.most people don't realize how important passports areB. passports aren't important once you are in the country you've chosen.to visitC. passports are simple to obtain through the mailD. passports are obtained at the embassy once you enter a country55.As used in this passage, the word "valid" in the second paragraph means .A.foreignB.legalC.monetaryD. IllegalPassage FourI hear many parents complain that their teenage children are rebelling. I wish it were so. At your age you ought to be growing away from your parents. You should be learning to stand on your own two feet. But take a good look at the present rebellion. It seems that teenagers are all taking the same way of showing that they disagree with their parents. Instead of striking out on their own, most of them are clutching at one another's hands for reassurance.They say they want to dress as they please, but all of them wear the same clothes.They set off in new directions in music, but all of them end up huddled round listening to the same record. Their reason for thinking or acting in this and that way is that the crowd is doing it. They have cbme out of their cocoon（茧)into a larger cocoon.It has become harder and harder for a teenager to stand up against the popularity wave and go his or her own way. These days every teenager can learn from the adver-tisements what a teenager should have and be. And many of.toclay's parents have come to award high marks for the popularity of their children. All this adds up to a great bar-rier for the teenager who wants to find his or her own path.But the barrier is worth climbing over. The path is worth following. You may want to listen to classical music instead of going to a party. You may want to collect rocks when everyone else is collecting records. You may have some thoughts that you.don't care to share at once with your classmates. Well,go to it. Find yourself. Be your-self. Popularity will come with the people who respect you for who you are. That's the only kind of popularity that really counts.56.The author's purpose in writing this passage is to tellA.readers how to be popular with people aroundB. teenagers how to learn to decide things for themselvesC. parents how to control and guide their childrenD. people how to understand and respect each other?57.According to the author, many teenagers think they are brave enough to act on their own, but, in fact, most of them .A.have much difficulty understanding each otherB. lack confidenceC. dare not cope with problems single-handedD. are very much afraid of getting lost?58.According to the passage, which of the following is NOT true?A.There is no popularity that really counts.B. What many parents are doing is in fact hindering their children from finding their own paths.C. It is not necessarily bad for a teenager to disagree with his or her classmates.D. Most teenagers claim that they want to do what they like to, but they are actu-ally doing the same.59.The author thinks of advertisements as .A.convincingB.influentialC.instructiveD. authoritative60.During the teenage years, one should learn to .A. differ from others in as many ways as possibleB. get into the right season and become popularC. find one's real selfD. rebel against parents and the popularity wave?Ⅲ.

Reading ComprehensionDirections: In this part there are four passages. Each passage is followed by five 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 OneIf someone is sleepwalking, they are walking around while they are asleep. Sleepwalking happens when a person is not fully asleep but not quite awake. Usually we move from our deepest level of sleep to a lighter level and stay there. Sleepwalkers come right up to wake levels but do not fully awaken. It is at this time that they get up and walk.The longer a person stays in deep sleep, the more time it takes for the sleep to be broken. That opens up the possibility of being awakened (but not fully) and of sleepwalking.Sleepwalking happens more often among young people than grown-ups because young people usually have more deep sleep. Up to 7% of 5 to 12-year-olds sleepwalk, while only about 2% of grown-ups sleepwalk. We get less deep sleep as we aregetting older and the possibility of sleepwalking is also reduced.Sleepwalking may run in families, too. If one of your parents was a sleepwalker, you have about a 50% possibility of also being a sleepwalker.41、 This passage is about ______.A. why sleepwalking happensB. where sleepwalkers goC. what sleepwalkers doD. when sleepwalkers walk42、 Who has more possibility of sleepwalking? ______A. Grown-ups.B. Young people.C. Old men.D. Old women.43、 What does "reduced" mean in "...the possibility of sleepwalking is also reduced" in Paragraph Three? ______A. Opened up.B. Cut down.C. Kept on.D. Sped up.44、 People have more possibility of developing sleepwalk ______.A. when they get olderB. when they become parents themselvesC. if their parents sleep walkedD. if they don't sleep well45、 This passage may be from ______A. a story bookB. a travel bookC. a science bookD. a cooking bookPassage TwoOur eating habits are very important for good health and a strong body. There are times when most of us would rather eat sweets and ice cream than meat and rice. Sweets and ice cream are not bad for the stomach if we eat them at the end of a meal. If we eat them before a meal, they may take away our appetite. It is important for us to eat our meal at the same time each day. When we feel hungry, it is a sign that our bodies need food. When we feel angry or excited, we may not want to eat. When we are worried, we may not want to eat, either.A long time ago, in England, some judges used to decide whether a man was telling the truth by giving him some dry bread. If the man could not swallow the bread, it was a sign that he was not telling the truth—he was telling a lie. Although this seems very strange and rather foolish, it is indeed an excellent way of finding out the truth. A man who is worrying about something has difficulty in swallowing anything dry, because when he is worrying, he loses his appetite and does not want to eat.46、 We had better develop good eating habits if ______.A. we want to eat moreB. we want to save timeC. we want to be healthy and strongD. we want to eat less47、 ______ may take away our appetite before we have our meal.A. Either meat or riceB. Both sweets and ice creamC. Neither sweets nor ice creamD. Not only meat but also rice48、 We had better have our meals ______.A. when our work is overB. at the same time every dayC. when the meal is being cookedD. before we go back home49、 A man who is angry has ______.A. a poor appetiteB. a better appetiteC. to eat more foodD. to eat dry bread50、 The judges in old England considered that a man could ______ if he tolda lie.A. swallow dry bread easilyB. drink milk or hot waterC. hardly swallow dry breadD. eat a lot of dry breadPassage ThreeIf we take a close look at successful language learners, we may discover a few techniques which make language learning easier for them.First of all, successful language learners are independent learners. They do not rely on books or teachers; they discover their own way to learn the language. Instead of waiting for the teacher to explain everything, they try to find the patterns and the rules for themselves. They are good guessers who look for clues and form their own conclusions.Successful language learning is active learning. Therefore, successful learners do not wait for a chance to use the language; they look for such a chance. They find people who speak the language and ask these people to correct them when they make a mistake. They will try anything to communicate. When communication is difficult, they can accept information that is inexact or incomplete. It is more important for them to learn to think in the language than to know the meaning of every word.Finally, successful language learners are learners with a purpose. They want to learn the language because they are interested in the language and the people who speak it. It is necessary for them to learn the language in order to communicate with these people and to learn from them.51、 Successful language learners want to learn the language because ______.A. they have to pass the examinationB. they are interested in itC. they want to find better jobsD. they think it is very easy to learn52、 Successful language learning is active, so successful learners ______.A. only use the language in classB. try to avoid using the languageC. wait for a chance to use the languageD. look for a chance to use the language53、 According to the passage, when successful language learners meet some new words, they usually ______.A. wait for their teachers to explain themB. look them up in the dictionary at onceC. try to guess their meaningD. ask their teachers54、 Which one of the following statements is TRUE about successful language learners according to the passage? ______A. They are more intelligent than others.B. They are learners with a purpose.C. They have good teachers and good books.D. They spend much more time learning than others.55、 What is the purpose of this passage? ______A. To explain the importance of language learning.B. To compare language learning with language teaching.C. To teach people to speak a foreign language.D. To introduce some useful techniques of language learning. Passage FourDo you have a phobia (恐惧症)? Does it spread? No, it is not an infectious (传染的) disease, but it can make you quite as bad. A phobia is an unreasonable fear of some particular thing or situation. Do you know that some people fear heights? That is caned acrophobia. Many people experience claustrophobia when they are in a closed space such as a small room or an elevator. Zoophobia is a fear of animals. There are names for fear of thunder, lightning, wide open spaces, people, crowds, darkness, water, and many other things.A phobia expert tells us that in the coming of a phobic situation, a person has what is called an "anxiety attack". Blood rushes to his larger muscles in preparation for fight or flight.One expert on phobia suggests we reduce our fears gradually. A person who is afraid of people could overcome this fear by getting accustomed to them one at a time. Someone who is afraid of water could take swimming lessons in a pool with a lifeguard at hand. A person afraid of heights could practice looking down from middle heights first until he could handle the greater ones.56、 A person who is afraid of cats is most likely to have ______.A. homophobiaB. acrophobiaC. zoophobiaD. claustrophobia57、 A good way to overcome one's unreasonable fear of something would be ______.A. trying to avoid itB. preparing for fight or flightC. getting rid of the anxiety attackD. trying to get used to it58、 If you have a phobia, ______.A. you must take swimming lessons in a safe poolB. it will be as troublesome as an infectious diseaseC. you may attend some partiesD. you had better practice looking down from middle heights first59、 A man who has a phobia ______.A. is called an anxiety attackB. has blood rush to his legsC. has the feeling of flightD. fears some particular thing or situation60、 The writer of this passage tells us that ______.A. when some phobia breaks out in someone, he will feel too anxious about somethingB. a person who fears people can run a race with othersC. a man afraid of heights can climb to at all building easilyD. everyone dares to swim in pools where there is no lifeguardⅢ.

For one thing, if you want to be trusted and respected, you must be honest. A liar is always looked down upon by the people around.
