There are 3 tasks for you to fulfill. You should read the reading materials carefully and do the tasks as you are instructed.Task 1Directions: After reading the following passage, you will find 5 questions or unfinished statements, numbered 41 through 45. For each question or statement there are 4 choices markedA), B), C), and D). You should make the correct choice and mark the correspondingletter on the Answer Sheet with a single line through the centre.Successful innovations have driven many older technologies to extinction and have resulted in higher productivity, greater consumption of energy, increased demand for raw material, accelerated flow of materials through the economy and increased quantities of metals and other substances in use each person. The history of industrial development abounds with examples.In 1870, horses and mules were the prime source of power on U. S. Farms. One horse or mule was required to support four human beings-a ratio that remained almost constant for many decades. At that time, had a national commission been asked to forecast the population for 1970, its answer probably would have depended on whether its consultants were of an economic or technological turn of mind. Had they been “economists”, they would probably have projected the 1970 horse or mule population to be more than 50 million. Had they been “technologists”, they would have recognized that the power of steam had already been harnessed to industry and to land and ocean transport. They would have recognized further that it would be the prime source of power on the farm. It would have been difficult for them to avoid the conclusion that the horse and mule population would decline rapidly.A 41. According to the passage, what supplied most of the power on U. S. Farms in 1870?A. Animals.B. HumansC. Engines.D. WaterB 42. Which of the following is not mentioned by the author as a consequence of newtechnological developments?A. Older technologies die away.B.

A friend of hers, who was a year older, was at art college, and she suggested to Polly that she join her there.Polly’s parents were saving money to buy their house, and they had hoped that Polly wouldstart earning too as soon as she left school, so when she told them she wanted to go to art college, she wished them to disagree. But in fact they didn’t say "no"."You’ll have to find some kind of job to pay for your college," Polly’s mother told her. "Your father and I will be happy to keep you at home, but we have no money for your college courses, and none for paints and all the other things you need.""Thank y ou very much," Polly answered. "There’s no problem about getting a job; the head of the art college has offered me one in their library."After a few months, Polly’s parents really felt very happy when she brought home some of the things she had painted, for which she had received high praise from her teachers.One day Polly said to her parents, " Why don’t you come to a museum with me? I can tell you all about the paintings and you can see the kinds of things I’m trying to do myself."Her parents wai ted until one Saturday when her father didn’t have to work, and then they all went off to the museum that Polly had chosen.She showed her parents some famous paintings, and then they came to one.

The 5 questions or unfinished statements are numbered 51 through 55For many years, Hawaii has been a magic name to people who like to travel. People on both sides of the Pacific Ocean, in Japan and in America, dream of seeing these beautiful islands in the middle of the ocean. Their dreams always include at least one scene of a sunset over the ocean. In the tropical (热带的) lands, the sun drops, like a ball of golden fire, into the sea, and it drops so quickly that you can almost see it move. The sun leaves behind a glow that lights the skies in the quiet water.People often have a quiet, peaceful time-perfect for a leisurely(悠闲的) walk along the water. This scene is not too different from the dramatic(令人神往的) beauty that greeted the first strangers to these islands centuries ago. They were Polynesian people who came from Tahiti in canoes not much bigger than small boats.They found the beautiful white sand beaches and the waving palm trees, but there were no giant hotels like the ones we see nowadays. The first people came to Hawaii nearly two thousand years ago, but skyscraper hotels only built in the last 25 years. Now jet airplanes make it possible to fly to Hawaii for a weekend from Tokyo or San Francisco or Los Angeles.Wherever the people come from, they really want to see the original beauty of Hawaii. They want to see the lovely beaches and the mountains called Diamond Head(金刚山) which is almost hidden by the tall hotels.B 51. Hawaii is a name .A. given by people who like to travelB. attracting a lot of travelersC. with an interesting story behind itD. talked about by both the Japanese and AmericansC 52. The most magic thing on these beautiful islands is .A. the tropical plantsB. a leisurely walk along the beachC. the sunsetD. the quiet waterC 53. does not belong to “the original beauty of Hawaii.”A.

The best topic of the passage is .A. IslandsB. Hawaii, A Magic NameC. Traveling in HawaiiD. The Dramatic BeautyTask 4Directions: This task is the same as Task 3. The 5 questions or unfinished statements are numbered 56 through 60.Romantic love is a culture trait found primarily in industrialized societies. Elsewhere in the world, pragmatic considerations rather than flights of fancy are often used to make a choice of partner, and romantic love is seen as an unfortunate inconvenience that gets in the way of the ordinary, rational process of mate selection. Traces of this attitude persist in the American upper classes, where daughters are expected to marry “well”---that is, to a male who is eligible by reason of family background ,and earning potential. Most Americans, however, see romantic love as essential for a successful marriage, and tend to look askance (轻蔑地) at anyone who marries for a more practical reason in which love plays no part.The phenomenon of romantic love occurs when two young people meet and find one another personally and physically attractive. They become mutually absorbed, start to behave in what appears to be a flighty (充想的), even irrational manner, decide that they are right for one another, and may then enter a marriage whose success is expected to be guaranteed by their enduring love. Behavior of this kind is portrayed and warmly endorsed(赞同) throughout American popular Culture, by books, magazines, comics, records, popular songs, movies, and TV.Romantic love is a noble ideal, and it can certainly provide a basis for the spouses to “1ive happily ever after.”But a marriage can equally well be founded on much more practical considerations-as indeed they have been in most societies throughout most of history. Why is romantic love of such importance in the modern world? The reason seems to be that it has some basic functions in maintaining the institution of the nuclear family（小家庭）.D 56. Romantic love is less frequently found in many nonindustrial societies because people inthese societies ___________.A. firmly believe that only money can make the world go roundB.fail to bring the imaginative power of the mind into full playC. fondly think that flights of fancy prevent them from making a correct choiceof partnerD. have far more practical considerations to determine who will marry whomA 57. The word eligible (in Line 6, Para. 1), could best be replaced by ________.A. qualifiedB. availableC. chosenD. influentialB 58. According to the passage, most Americans ___________.A. expect their daughters to fall in love with a male at first sightB. regard romantic love as the basis for a successful marriageC. look up to those who marry for the sake of wealthD. consider romantic love to be the most desirable thing in the worldC 59. What can we learn from the second paragraph about romantic love?A. It is a common occurrence among the old.B. It is primarily depicted by books.C. It is characterized by mutual attraction and absorption.D. It is rejected as flighty and irrational.C 60. The author seems to believe that _________.A. romantic love makes people unable to think clearly in the process of mate selectionB. only romantic love can make a marriage happy ever afterC. much more practical considerations can also be the basis for a successful marriage.D. romantic love plays an insignificant role in maintaining the institution of the nuclear family三、Writing (20 %)1. 以《网上购物》（Online Shopping）为题，写一篇不少于100字的作文。
