The old fellow had some drawings that he wanted Rossetti to look at and tell him if they were any good, or if they at least showed potential talent. Rossetti looked them over carefully. After the first few, he knew that they were worthless, showing not the least sign of artistic talent. But Rossetti was a kind man, and he told the elderly man as gently as possible that the pictures were without much value and showed little talent. He was sorry, but he could not lie to the man. The visitor was disappointed, but seemed to have expected Rossetti' s judgment. He then apologized for taking up Rossetti' s time, but would he just look at a few more drawings — these done by a young art student? Rossetti looked over the second group of drawings andimmediately became enthusiastic over the talent they revealed. " These," he said, "oh, these are good. This young student has great talent. He has a great future if he will work hard and stick to it." Rossetti could see that the old fellow was deeply moved. "Who is this fine young artist?" he asked. "Your son?" "No," said the old man sadly. "It is me —40 years ago. If only I had heard your praise then! For you see, I got discouraged and gave up — too soon."（分数：10.00）(1).An old man asked Rossetti to______.（分数：2.00）A.draw a picture for himB.teach him how to paintC.evaluate his drawings √D.help improve his painting skills解析：(2).Which of the following could be best said about Rossetti?（分数：2.00）A.Critical.B.Sincere. √C.Stubborn.D.Creative.解析：(3).How did the old man respond to Rossetti' s negative comment?（分数：2.00）A.He was angry and desperate.B.He was surprised and disappointed.C.He was discouraged, but took it calmly. √D.He was hurt, but could do nothing about it.解析：(4).Rossetti said that the young art student______.（分数：2.00）A.would have a bright future √B.had some potential, but not great talentC.was as talented as the old manD.showed little talent in painting解析：(5).What does the story try to tell us?（分数：2.00）A.Never give up too easily. √B.No pains, no gains.C.Early bird catches the worm.D.It' s never too old to learn.解析：Saving energy means saving money. Homeowners know this basic fact, but they often don' t know what kinds of adjustments they can make in their houses and apartments that will result in savings. For those willing to spend some time and money to reap long-term energy savings, an energy assessment is the way to go. An energy assessor will come into your home and assess its energy efficiency. The assessor will find out areas of your home that use the most energy and offer solutions to lower your energy use and costs. Trained energy assessors know what to look for and can locate a variety of problems that may be resulting in energy inefficiency, including inadequate insulation(隔热), construction problems, and uneven heat distribution. There are quicker and less costly measures that can be taken as well. One way to save money is to replace bulbs with fluorescents(荧光灯). This can result in a saving of more than 50% on your monthly lighting costs. When it' s time to replace old appliances, it' s wise to spend a bit more for an energy-efficient model, and be sure that you are taking advantage of energy-saving settings already on your current refrigerator, dishwasher, washing machine, or dryer. Windows provide another opportunity to cut your energy costs. Fill the holes or cracks of old windows that might be leaky to let in coldwind, and choose double-paned (双层)windows if you' re building an addition or replacing old windows. Most areas of your home or apartment offer opportunities to save energy and money. The results are significant and are well worth the effort.（分数：10.00）(1).According to the passage, which of the following would an energy assessor do?（分数：2.00）A.Change your light bulbs.B.Fix construction problems.C.Replace your old appliances.D.Check your heating system. √解析：(2).As is implied in the passage, energy assessment is______.（分数：2.00）A.free of chargeB.worthwhile in the long run √C.absolutely necessaryD.kind of troublesome解析：(3).Which of the following is NOT mentioned in the passage?（分数：2.00）ing fluorescent can cut 50% of the lighting costs.B.Energy efficient appliances should be used.C.A local energy company will send an energy assessor on request. √D.Some appliances have energy-saving settings.解析：(4).According to the passage, double-paned windows______.（分数：2.00）A.are energy efficient √B.can only be used as replacementC.are only used in new buildingsD.will lower your heating costs by 50%解析：(5).Which of the following best expresses the main idea of this passage?（分数：2.00）A.There are many things a homeowner can do to save energy and money. √B.Hiring an energy assessor will save energy and money.C.Homeowners don't know what they can do to save energy and money.D.Replacing windows and light bulbs are well worth the effort and cost.解析：Is Halloween celebrated where you live? In the United States and Canada, Halloween is widely known and celebrated every year on October 31. Halloween customs, though, can be found in many other parts of the globe. In some places holidays are celebrated that, although named differently, share similar themes: contact with the spirit world involving the spirits of the dead, the devil and angels. Personally, you may not believe in supernatural spirits. You might simply view taking part in Halloween and similar celebrations as a way to have fun and teach your children to explore their imagination. Many people, though, regard these celebrations as harmful for the following reasons:Firstly,Halloween is actually related to the prospect of contact with spiritual forces, many of which threaten or frighten. Likewise, many celebrations like Halloween have religious origins and are deeply rooted in ancestor worship(祖先崇拜). Even today, people around the world use these days to make contact with supposed spirits of the dead. Secondly, although Halloween has been viewed mainly as an American holiday, each year people in more and more countries have been adopting it. Many newcomers to the celebration, however, are unaware of the religious origins of Halloween symbols, decorations, and customs, most of which are related to supernatural beings and supernatural forces. Thirdly, thousands of people, who follow ancient Celts(凯尔特人), still call Halloween by the ancient name Samhain and consider it to be the most sacred night of theyear. Others don't realize it, while they're celebrating the Celtic holiday. In view of the foregoing, it is wise for you to know about the dark origins of Halloween and similar celebrations. Having this fuller understanding may help you decide whether to participate in these holidays.（分数：10.00）(1).According to the author, the theme of Halloween is to______.（分数：2.00）A.celebrate the harvest seasonB.spread religious teachingsC.contact the spirit of the dead √D.help children explore their imagination解析：(2).Many people regard Halloween celebrations as harmful because______.（分数：2.00）A.the celebrations can disturb the deadB.some of the celebration activities are frightening √C.children may be frightened by supernatural forcesD.some of the celebrations are very dangerous解析：(3).Those who celebrate Halloween without knowing its origins may______.（分数：2.00）A.not understand Halloween' s true meaning √B.act as strangely as the dead and the devilsC.ruin the atmosphere of the celebrationsD.change their religious beliefs解析：(4).According to the passage, Halloween was probably first celebrated by______.（分数：2.00）A.AmericansB.CanadiansC.IndiansD.Celts √解析：(5).The author' s purpose in writing this passage is to______.（分数：2.00）A.warn people not to celebrate Halloween any moreB.criticize the Halloween celebration activitiesC.tell people to be careful in deciding whether to celebrate Halloween √D.promote the tradition of Halloween and its celebrations解析：Americans use the term " college students" to mean students either in colleges or universities. Not only that, Americans almost never say "going off to university" or "when I was in university." That sounds British. Instead, they say "going off to college" and "when I was in college." College, university: what's the difference? Colleges and universities have many things in common. Both offer undergraduate degrees in the arts and sciences, for example. And both can help prepare young people to earn a living. But many colleges do not offer graduate studies. Another difference is that universities are generally bigger. They offer more programs and do more research. Another place of higher education, especially in technical areas, is an institute, like the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. Yet even an institute of technology can offer a wide choice of programs and activities. M.I.T. says that 75 percent of freshmen come there with a strong interest and involvement in the arts. Modern universities developed from those of Europe in the Middle Ages. The word "university" came from the Latin universitas, describing a group of people organized for a common purpose. "College" came from collegium, a Latin word with a similar meaning. In England, colleges were formed to provide students with places to live. Usually each group was studying the same thing. So college came to mean an area of study. The first American universities dividedtheir studies into a number of areas and called each one a college. This is still true. A college can also be a part of a university. For example, Harvard College is the undergraduate part of Harvard University. Programs in higher learning can also be called schools, like a school of engineering or a medical school within university. You know, learning all these terms is an education in itself.（分数：10.00）(1).Americans use "college students" to refer to students either in colleges or universities, because______.（分数：2.00）A.there are more colleges than universities in AmericaB.colleges and universities are actually the sameC.both colleges and universities can offer degreesD.colleges and universities have many things in common √解析：(2).One of the differences between colleges and universities is that______.（分数：2.00）A.colleges do not do researchB.no college offers graduate studiesC.colleges often offer fewer programs √D.universities don't provide dormitories解析：(3).According to the passage, institutes______.（分数：2.00）A.cover no other areas but technical onesB.have functions similar to colleges and universities √C.provide 75% of their programs in technical areasD.are at a lower level of higher education解析：(4).The terms of "college" and "university" in Latin______.（分数：2.00）A.have similar meanings √B.mean quite differentlyC.refer to the same thingD.are confusing in English解析：(5).The main idea of this passage is to______.（分数：2.00）A.introduce the institutions in higher educationB.evaluate the institutions in higher educationC.clarify the institution terms in higher education √D.classify the institutions in higher education解析：三、 Vocabulary and Structure(总题数：21，分数：42.00)2.Part II Vocabulary and Structure (30%)Directions: In this part, there are 30 incomplete sentences.

2013年真题
2013年学位英语考试真题Part I Reading ComprehensionPassage1Social change is more likely to occur in societies where there is a mixture of different kinds of people than in societies where people are similar in many ways.The simple reason for this is that there are more different ways of looking at things present in the first kind of society.There are more ideas,more disagreements in interest,and more groups and organizations with different beliefs.In addition,there is usually a greater worldly interest and greater tolerance in mixed societies.All these factors tend to promote social change by opening more areas of life to decision. In a society where people are quite similar in many ways,there are fewer occasions for people to see the need or the opportunity for change because everything seems to be the same.And although conditions may not be satisfactory,they are at least customary and undisputed.Within a society,social changes is also likely to occur more frequently and more readily in the material aspects of the culture than in the non-material,for example,in technology rather than in values;in what has been learned later in life rather than what was learned early;in the less basic and less emotional aspects of society than in their opposites;in the simple elements rather than in the complex ones;in form rather than in substance;and in elements that are acceptable to the culture rather than in strange elements.1.The passage is mainly discussing________.A.the necessity of social changeB.certain factors that determine the ease with which social changes occurC.different types of social change in two different societies and in different aspects.D.certain factors that promote social change2._____is NOT one of the factors that tend to promote social change.A.Greater worldly interestB.Different points of viewC.Greater toleranceD.Advanced technology3.According to the passage,which of the following is NOT true?A.Social change tends to meet with more difficulty in basic and emotional aspects of society.B.Disagreement with and argument about conditions tend to slow down social change.C.Social change is less likely to occur in the material aspect of society.D.Social change is less likely to occur in what people learned when they were young.4.The expression"greater tolerance"(Para.1)refers to_______.A.greater readiness to agree to different opinions and ideasB.quicker adaptation to changing circumstancesC.more respect for different beliefs and behaviorD.greater willingness to accept social change5.Social change is less likely to occur in a society where people are quite similar in many ways because_______.A.people there have identical needs and they are satisfied with everything.B.people there have got so accustomed to their conditions that they seldom think it necessaryto changeC.people there are easy to pleaseD.people there are less disappointedPassage2Traditionally,universities have carried out two main activities:research and teaching.Many experts would argue that both these activities play a critical role in serving the community.The fundamental question,however,is:how does the community want or need to be served?In recent years universities have been coming under increasing pressure from both the governments and the public to ensure that they do not remain“ivory towers”(象牙塔)of study separated from the realities of everyday life.University teachers have been encouraged,and in some cases constrained(强逼),to provide more courses which produce graduates with the technical skills required for the commercial use.79)If Aristotle wanted to work in a university in the UK today,he would have a good chance of teaching computer science but would not be so readily employable as a philosopher.A post-industrial society requires large numbers of computer programmers,engineers, managers and technicians to maintain and develop its economic growth but“man”,as the Bible says,“does not live by bread alone.”80)Apart from requiring medical and social services,which do not directly contribute to economic growth,the society should also value and enjoy literature, music and the arts.In these cost-conscious times,it has even been pointed out in justification for the funding of the arts that they can be useful money earners.A successful musical play,for instance,can contribute as much to the Gross National Product through tourist dollars as any other things.6.What is the main ides of the passage?A.Traditional universities only cared about research and teaching.B.Universities must meet the needs of the community.C.Research and teaching are no longer important in universities.D.Universities play an important role in our society.7.According to the second paragraph,which of the following statements is TRUE?A.The society is not satisfied with the current college education.B.The governments ask too much from colleges.C.Teachers are forced to do what they don’t like to do.D.University teachers like to provide practical courses.8.The author quoted Aristotle as an example in order to show that___________.A.he could still be an excellent teacher if he were aliveB.abstract courses like philosophy are no longer popularC.philosophy should be cut off from university curriculumD.philosophers had better know computer science9.According to the passage,literature,music and the arts_____________.A.are totally uselessB.are not good for economic developmentC.can also promote economic developmentD.are of less importance compared to some practical courses10.The author believes that_________.A.man can live by bread aloneB.arts cannot be useful money earnersC.universities should only teach technical skillsD.arts and technical skills are both important for the society’s developmentPassage3Our minds may wander during boring tasks because daydreaming is actually the brain's normal state,rather than a pointless distraction,according to a new U.S.study.The researchers,reporting their findings today in the U.S.journal,Science,found that daydreaming could be the result of the brain thinking over important—but not immediately relevant—issues when the external environment ceases to pose interesting and engaging problems.“For the most part psychologists have sort of assumed that we spend most of our time engaged in goal-directed thought and that,every so often,we have blips(光点)of irrelevant thoughts that pop up on the radar,”said Malia Mason of Harvard University.“However,it could very well be the case that most of the time we are engaged in less directed,unintended thought and that this state is routinely interrupted by periods of goal-directed thought."Daydreaming or mind-wandering is more precisely defined as a state of mind where thoughts that are experienced by an individual are unrelated to what is going on in the environment around them,according to Mason.When wandering,the brain flits from one thought to the next, generating images,voices,thoughts and feelings.When deciding how best to encourage daydreaming in order to study it,the researchers recognized that our minds often wander while we are engaged in familiar tasks,such as making a sandwich,because we don't need to concentrate on it.They trained study subjects to become proficient on certain tasks so that their minds would be able to wander when they performed them, but would have to concentrate when given something new.11.According to the new US study mentioned in the passage,daydream happens when___________.A.the brain thinks over important but temporarily irrelevant thingsB.the external environment stops posing interesting and engaging problemsC.the brain generates images,voices,thoughts and feelingsD.both A and B.12.According to Mason,we spend most of our time engaged in___________.A.goal-directed thoughtB.less directed and unintended thoughtC.very important thoughtD.none of the above13.In order to study daydream,researchers___________.A.encourage study subjects to daydreamB.ask study subjects to make sandwichesC.train study subjects to become proficient on certain tasksD.help study subjects concentrate on certain tasks14.Which of the following statements is TRUE according to this passage?A.Daydream is a meaningless distraction away from the brain’s normal state.B.Daydream researchers find that one cannot concentrate on familiar tasks.C.During daydreaming,thoughts flash through the brain one after another,producing imagesand voices and feelings.D.Mason shares the same opinion with most psychologists.15.The passage is most probably from_____________.A.a science magazineB.a medical textbookC.a personal letterD.a government documentPassage4Believe it or not(信不信由你)，optical illusion(错觉)can cut highway crashes.Japan is a case in point(恰当的例子).It has reduced automobile crashes on some roads by nearly75percent using a simple optical illusion.Bent stripes，called chevrons(人字形)painted on the roads make drivers think that they are driving faster than they really are，and thus drivers slow down(放慢).Now the American Automobile Association Foundation for Traffic Safety in Washington D.C. is planning to repeat Japan's success.Starting next year,the foundation will paint chevrons and other patterns of stripes on selected roads around the country to test how well the patterns reduce highway crashes.Excessive speed plays a major role in(起重要作用)as much as one fifth of all fatal traffic accidents,according to the foundation.To help reduce those accidents，the foundation will conduct its tests in areas where speed--related hazards are the greatest--curves，exit slopes，traffic circles，and bridges.Some studies suggest that straight，horizontal bars painted across roads can initially cut the average speed of drivers in half.However，traffic often returns to full speed within months as drivers become used to(习惯于)seeing the painted bars.Chevrons，scientists say，not only give drivers the impression that they are driving faster than they really are but also make a lane appear to be narrower.The result is a longer lasting reduction in highway speed and the number of traffic accidents.16.The passage mainly discusses______.A)a new way of highway speed control B)a new pattern for painting highwaysC)a new approach to training drivers D)a new type of optical illusion17.On roads painted with chevrons,drivers tend to feel that______.A)they should avoid speed-related hazards B)they are driving in the wrong laneC)they should slow down their speed D)they are approaching the speed limit18.The advantage of chevrons over straight，horizontal bars is that the former______.A)can keep drivers awake B)can cut road accidents in halfC)will have a longer effect on drivers D)will look more attractive19.The American Automobile Association Foundation for Traffic Safety plans to______.A)try out the Japanese method in certain areasB)change the road signs across the countryC)replace straight，horizontal bars with chevronsD)repeat the Japanese road patterns20.What does the author say about straight，horizontal bars painted across roads?A)They are falling out of use in the United States.B)They tend to be ignored by drivers in a short period of time.C)They are applicable only on broad roads.D)They cannot be applied successfully to traffic circles.Part II Vocabulary and Structure21.Universities

Semester Systems are one of them.The academic year is divided into two terms, each of which provides for about 15 weeks of instruction plus a week for final examinations. The fall semester, considered the first term of the academic year, usually begins in September or late August, and it is increasingly common for the term to start early enough to be completed before the two-week Christmas holiday. Colleges start later in September. The second or spring semester usually begins sometime in January and ends in late May or early June. Most schools schedule a one- or two-week vacation in March or April. A variation of the semester system being tried by some institutions is the “4—1—4” calendar, which has a four-month fall semester ending in December, a one-month short term in January for which students may enroll if they wish, and another four-month semester beginning early in February.61.

In JanuaryD. In FebruaryQuestions 66~70 are based on the following passage:In sport the sexes are separate. Women and men do not run or swim in the same faces. Women are less strong than men. That at least is what people say. Women are called “the weaker sex”, or, if men want to please them, “the fair sex”. But boys and girls are taught together at schools and universities. There are women who are famous Prime Ministers, scientists and writers. And women live longer than men. A European woman can expect to live until the age of 74, a man only until he is 68. Are women’s bodies really weaker?The fastest men can run a mile in under 4 minutes. The best women need 4.5 minutes. Women’s times are always sl ower than men’s, but some facts are a surprise. Some of the fastest women swimmers today are teen-age girls. One of them swam 400 meters in 4 minutes 21.2 seconds when she was only 16. The first “Tarzan”(泰山) in films was an Olympic swimmer, Johnny Weiss Muller. His fastest 400 meters was 4 minutes 59.1 seconds, which is 37.9 seconds slower than a girl 50 years later! This does not mean that women are catching men up. Conditions are very different now, and sport is much more serious. It is so serious that some women athletes are given hormone injections. At the Olympics a doctor has to check whether the women athletes are really women or not. It seems sad that sport has such problems. Life can be very complicated when there are two separate sexes!66. Women are called “the weaker sex” because _B___.A. women do as much work as menB. people think women are weaker than menC. sport is easier for men than for womenD. in sport the two sexes are always together67. Which of the following is true? BA. Boys and girls study separately everywhere.B. Women do not run or swim in races with men.C. Famous Prime Ministers are women.D. Men can expect to live longer than women in Europe.68. “That at least is what people say.” Means people__C__.A. say other things tooB. don’t say this muchC. say this but may not think soD. only think this69. What problems does sport have? BA. Some women athletes are actually men.B. Some women athletes are given hormone injections.C. Women and men do not run or swim in the same races.D. It is difficult to check whether women athletes are really women.70. In this passage the author implies that _C___.A. women are weaker than men, but fasterB. women are slower than men, but strongerC. men are not always stronger and faster than womenD. men are faster and stronger than womenQuestions 71~75 are base on the following passage:The stamp collector can learn a great deal from the colorful pieces of paper he put in his album. In addition to learning some basic things about organization and systematic arrangement, the stamp collector can receive a good course in history and geography from stamps. As a collector progresses and becomes more specialized, stamps teach him some basic facts about engraving, paper, and printing.Stamps are excellent sources of historical information. Almost every nation celebrates its military heroes and political leaders on its postage stamps. But scientists and artists, from Einstein to Beethoven, also grace the stamps of the world. Famous battles are frequently commemorated, as well as buildings and scenes which have historical significance. Several of the world’s stamps are beautiful, full-color reproductions of the artistic masterpieces of different historical periods.Stamps also offer instruction in geography. It doesn’t take long before a beginning collector checks the locations of the countries from which his stamps come. Nations like Liechtenstein, San Marino, Andorra, Gabon, Ghana, and Afghanistan, while unknown to many, are usually quite familiar to stamp collectors. Moreover, each country tends to use stamps to advertise its natural wonders. Such renowned attractions as Yosemite National Park, Victoria Falls, Mount Everest, and the Bay and Fundy appear on the stamps of the nation within whose borders they lie.If he wishes to become more of a specialist, the stamp collector can learn some basic things about engraving, paper, and printing. The more advanced collector learns to distinguish between offset and letterpress printing. He learns to identify the different impressions made by metal and wooden engraved plates. He finds out how to detect watermarks in the various papers used for stamps, and how to identify the characteristics of different papers and the coatings which are applied to them. To the layman, most stamps appear pretty much the same. But armed with a magnifying glass, the more specialized collector can tell the difference between a common issue and a rare variety.71. Which of the following statements do you think best describes the main idea of the essay? CA. A stamp collector must have a great deal of knowledge in history and geography.B. A stamp collector should be good at organization and systematic arrangement.C. A stamp collector can learn a lot from the stamps he collects.D. A stamp collector is a specialist who know much about engraving, paper and printing.72. The word “album” in the first sentence means_B__.A. a holder for sets of discB. a blank book used for collecting stampsC. a frame in which the best stamps are displayedD. a small box where colorful stamps are kept73. “Basic thing about organization and systematic arrangement” refers to __D_.A. postal organizations and systems that print and issue new stampsB. various organizations and systems that sell new stampsC. organizations all over the world that offer help to stamp collectorsD. knowledge or information about how to organize and arrange things in good order74. Which of the following statements is NOT true? CA. Almost all nations issue stamps celebrating their military heroes or political leaders.B. Famous battles and buildings of historical significance are frequently commemorated onstamps.C. Few scientists and artists appear on stamps.D. Scientists and artists as well as political and military leaders are celebrated on stamps.75. A layman is a person who__D__.A. has just started collecting stampsB. is a beginning collectorC. is not very much interested in stamp collectingD. does not have much professional knowledgeIII.

Translation from English into Chinese (15 marks)Directions: In this part there is a passage with 5 underlined parts, numbered 76~80. After reading the passage carefully, you should translate the underlined parts into Chinese.Science falls into two main categories: pure science and applied science. (96) Pure science considers how the universe works and how life has developed into the plants and animals we see on earth today. By means of pure science(such as chemistry, physics, geology, biology, or astronomy) we learn the laws of nature, the way the bodies of beasts and men are constructed, and how the minds of men function. (97) Applied science, often called engineering or technology (such as civil, mechanical, electrical, or chemical engineering), puts the laws of nature to practical use on building better structures and machines for the comfort and convenience of men. When a man learns some new fact by research in pure science, we say that he has made a scientific discovery. 98) When he puts an earlier discovery to some practical use, in a new and original way, we say that he has made an invention. In the two hundred years since the beginning of the great change that we call the Industrial Revolution, developments both in pure and in applied science speeded up in a way that the world had never before seen. All the sciences leaped forward, neckand neck like horses in a race. (99) At one time, one pulled ahead; then another caught up with and passed it. An invention in one field made possible some discovery in another; and that discovery, in turn, permitted another new application of science for the benefit of man. (100) For example: the invention of the microscope led to the discovery of germs; eventually, the germ theory of disease made possible the curing of many ills for which no effective treatment had ever before been know.（答：96. 理论科学研究宇宙怎样运行，生命怎样发展成为我们今天在地球上所看到的植物和动物。

Grandfathers can fix anything,and grandmothers always have homemade biscuits around. When you are small,it's fun to stay with your grandparents because they always let you do things you can't do at home,and,of course,they buy you things.They are always able to babysit because they don't go out much and actually prefer to see their grandchildren.They are usually good for a small loan now and then doesn't need to be paid back because they turn it into a gift.You respectfully listen to their advice but don't thank them politely for what they do for you,and then don't call or visit them until you need something else.And,of course,you never tell them how dear they are to you because they know how you feel about them anyway.Then all of a sudden,they are no longer there to do the things that only grandparents can do,and you find yourself wishing that you had told them what they meant to you as people and not just as grandparents.21.What is the position of grandparents in the family according to the writer?A.They are the most important people among family members.B.They are the least important people among family members.C.They are the ones at whom their children or grandchildren usually laugh.D.They are the ones whom their children or grandchildren respect most.22.Grandparents usually do many things except.A.buy their grandchildren thingsB.look after their grandchildrenC.let their grandchildren do things they can't do at home.D.tell their grandchildren how dear they are to home.23.Why don't children need to pay back the loan from their grandparents?A.Their grandparents will forget the loan.B.Their grandparents pay back the loan for them.C.Their grandparents die before they have enough money to pay it back.D.Their grandparents turn the loan into a gift.24.Children never tell their grandparents how dear they are to them because.A.they don't like their grandparents.B.they take for granted everything their grandparents do for them.C.their grandparents know how they feelD.they do not respect their grandparents25.How do children feel after their grandparents die?A.They regret they didn't express their true feelings to them.B.They feel sorry that grandparents are the least valued in the family.C.They miss them very much because no one does the things that grandparents do.D.They wish they had visited and called them more often.Passage2Many American colleges permit foreign students to live in college housing or housing not owned by the university,such as an apartment.College housing is usually in a dormitory,or dorm for short.Many foreign students say that the dorms are less costly than apartments.They say dorms offer quiet study areas and areas for social activities or sports.They say dorms are close to places they go every day,like the library,computer center and classrooms.They also say that living in the room provides the best chance to get to know other students.Dormitories may have as few as twelve students or as many as one thousand.Some dorms are organized into areas called suites.Suites have several bedrooms,a large living area and a bathroom.Six or more people may live in one suite.Other dorms have many rooms along a hallway.Two students usually live in each room.On each floor there is a large bathroom for all the students who live on that floor.Sometimes there is also a kitchen for preparing food.In most universities,males and females live in the same dorm.They may even live on the same floor.But they usually may not live in the same room or suite.Most universities have some dorms for men and women.26.Where do some foreign students in American colleges prefer to live?A.In a hotelB.In a houseC.In an apartmentD.In a friend's home27.What may be the reason for a foreign student to choose to live in a dorm?A.It is cheaperB.It has a big living roomC.It is cleanerD.It is owned by the university28.How many students can a dorm hold at most according to the passage?A.TwoB.sixC.TwelveD.A thousand29.One of the advantages of living in a dorm is that.A.it is easier for the students to get in touch with other studentsB.the students can go to school library every dayC.the students can use personal computers freelyD.more than two students may live in one room30.Which of following statement is TURE according to the passage?A.All the students in a dorm share one large bathroomB.Students are not allowed to cook in the dormC.Female students and male students cannot live in the same dormD.Living in the dorm is helpful to develop your relation with othersPassage3Cars are an important part of life in th United States.Without a car,most people feel that they are poor.An even if a person is poor he doesn't feel really poor when he has a car.Henry Ford was the man who first started making cars in large numbers.He probably didn't know how much the car was going to affect American culture.The car made the Unite States a nation on wheels.And it helped make the United States what it is today.There are three main reasons the car became so popular in the United States.First of all,the country is a huge one and Americans like to move around in it.The car provides the most comfortable and cheapest form of transportation.With a car people can go any place without spending a lot of money.The second reason cars are popular is the fact that the United States never really developed an efficient and inexpensive form of public transportation.Long-distance have never been as common in the United States as they are in other parts of the world.Nowadays,there is a good system of air-service provided by planes.But it is too expensive to be used frequently.The third reason is the most important one,though.The American spirit of independence is what really made cars popular.Americans don't like to wait for a bus or a train or even a plane.They don't like to have to follow an exact schedule.A car gives them the freedom to schedule their own time.And this is the freedom that Americans want most to have.The gas shortage has caused a big problem for Americans.But the answer will not be a bigger system of public transportation.The real solution will have to be a new kind of car,one that does not use so much gas.31,When do most Americans feel they are poor?A.When they don't have a carB.When they live in a huge countryC.When they don't planes.D.When they have a car32.Why do cars become popular in the United States?A.The United States is huge.B.Public transportation is not so good.C.Americans like to be independentD.Americans like to move around33.What public transportation is good in the United States?A.BusesB.TrainsC.TaxisD.Planes34.What has caused a big problem for Americans?A.A new kind of carB.Public transportationC.The gas shortageD.Poor people35.Which of the following is NOT mentioned according to this passage?A.Cars have made the nation on wheels.B.Cars have made the United States have a gas shortgeC.Nearly80%of the American people have cars.D.Cars have made American independent.Passage4There is a difference between science and technology.Science is a method of answeringtheoretical questions;technology is a method of solving practical problem.Science has to do with the facts and relationships between observable phenomena in nature and with establishing theories that serve to organize these facts and relationships;technology has to do with tools,techniques,and procedures for implementing the finding of science.Another distinction between science and technology has to do with the progress in each.Progress in science excludes the human factor.Scientists,who seek to comprehend the universe and know the truth with the highest degree of accuracy and certainty,cannot pay attention to their own or other people's likes or dislikes or to popular ideas about the fitness of things.What scientists discover may shock or anger people-as did Darwin's theory of evolution.But even an unpleasant truth is more than likely to be useful;besides,we have the choice of refusing to believe it!But it's hardly so with technology and we do not have the choice of refusing to hear the sonic boom produced by a supersonic aircraft flying overhead;we do not have the choice of refusing to breathe polluted air;and we do not have the choice of living in a non-atomic age.Unlike science progress,technology must be measured in terms of the human factor.The legitimate purpose of technology is to serve people in general,not merely some people;and future generantions,not merely those who presently wish to gain advantage for themselves.Technology must be humanistic if it is to lead to a better world.36.Which of the following statements about science is NOT true?A.Scinece provides answers to theoretical questions.B.Scinece seeks to comprehend the universe.C.Scinece aims to discover the inter-connections of facts and rules that explain them.D.Scinece serves people in general and can be measured in terms of the human factor.37.Which of the followig statements about technology is NOT true?A.Technology provides answer to practical problems.B.Technology seeks to establish theories based on facts.C.Technology helps change the material world.D.Technology has to do with new desings and ways of making the we use in our daily life.38.According to the author,scientific theories.A.must be strictly objective.ually pay attention to peopleC.should conform to popular opinions.D.always convince everyone39.The author states that technology itself.A.is responsible for pollution and resource exhaustionB.should serve those who wish to gain advantage for themselvesC.will lead to a better world if put to wise useD.will inevitably be for bad motivation40.The tone of the author in this passage is.A.ironicalB.criticalC.factualD.arbitraryPart3ClozeDirections:There are10blanks in the following passage.For each blank there are4choices marked A,B,C and D.You should choose the ONE answer that best fits into the passage.Then mark thecorresponding letter on the Answer Sheet with a single line through the center.Reading is pleasure of the mind,which means what it is a little like a sport:your eagerness and knowledge and quickness make you a good41.Reading is fun,not because the writer is telling you something,but because it makes your mind work.Your own42works along with the author's or even goes beyond his.Your experience,compared with his,brings you to the same or different43,and your ideas develop44you understand his.Every book stands by itself,like a one-family house,but books in

Each passage is followed by some questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D.

The growth of flowers was not easy in her care, and she didn’t seem to recognize what color was in her environment, or in herself, nor did she seem much to care about it in her choice of clothes, which she usually chose with regard to the possibility of having them caught on the edge of unfamiliar objects.1.
