His mother became even angrier. “I‟ll tell your father if you come back wet again,” said his mother. “He‟ll punish（惩罚）You, you know.” The third day the little boy was dry when he came home. “You‟re a good boy today”, his mother said happily. “You didn‟t play in the water.” “No,” the boy said unhappily. “There were too many older boys in the water when I got there this afternoon.

I‟ve always wanted one like that.”What could I do? Ten minutes later I was twenty dollars poorer, and the bookshelf was tied on to the roof rack. It was tall and narrow, quite heavy too.As it was getting darker, I drove slowly. Other drivers seemed more polite than usual that evening. The police even stopped traffic to let us through. Carrying furniture was a good idea.After a time my wife said, “There‟s a long line of cars behind. Why don‟t they overtake（超车）?”Just at that time a police car did overtake. The two officers（警官）inside looked at us seriously when they went past. But then, with a kind smile they asked us to follow their car through the busy traffic. The police car stopped at our village church（教堂）. One of the officers came to me.“Right, sir,” he said. “Do you need any more help now?”I didn‟t quite understand. “Thanks, officer,” I said. “You‟ve been very kind. I live just downthe road.”He was looking at our things: first at the flowers, then at the bookshelf. “Well, well,” he said and laughed. “It‟s a bookshelf you‟ve got there!

At first it was just the mysterious Eastern culture ___25___ attracted me, but after I read on Confucianism and Taoism, I was amazed by Chinese philosophy.In 1994, I was recommended by a friend to study with renowned philosopher Tang Yijie at Peking University as a doctoral student, ___26___ (focus) on the introduction and the spread of Christianity in China.Learning ancient languages enables us ___27___ (communicate) with ancient wise men. When I first read The Analects of Confucius in Chinese by looking up the dictionary word by word, I felt like I was talking to them who lived some 2,500 years ago, and it gave me tremendous joy.Nowadays, Chinese are crazy about learning English, ___28___ many don't know that English has been influenced by Latin in many ways, and if one wants to understand Western culture, one has to learn Latin. So I always wonder ___29___ the Chinese are so content with superficial understanding instead of seeking the roots of the language.I used to have a dream of building a language school ___30___ (dedicate) to Western classical languages, ___31___ now still seems unrealistic, but I have opened up courses in Renmin University and Beijing Normal University, and on weekends I do public teaching at the Xishiku cathedral（大教堂）and PostWave publishing company, so my dream is being partially realized.Besides teaching, I use my spare time writing books on classics studies and I ___32___ (publish) more than 30 titles so far.

Occasionally, government officials have complained about the public’s ignorance and “demonization”（妖魔化）of GM technologies. Yet few of them succeeded in reassuring a worried public with ___38___ (convincing) explanations.GM technologies, GM food in particular, have been unpopular thus far not because they’ve been proven unsafe, but mostly because authorities___39___ not have been unnecessarily quiet, says Qing.The public deserves to know ___40___ is being done and why, and such knowledge will contribute to their understanding of the issue.Section BDirections: Complete the following passage by using the words in the box.

Reading ComprehensionSection ADirections: For each blank in the following passage there are four words or phrases marked A, B, C and D. Fill in each blank with the word or phrase that best fits the context.Do you often feel tired in the morning even though you’ve been in bed for seven or eight hours the night before? Like many people, you are not sleeping as much as you think you are. ___51___, your sleep efficiency is not that good.Sleep experts __52__ “sleep efficiency” as the percentage of time that you are actually sleeping.According to explanatory journalism website , the science of sleep efficiency is still young.

A. see to B. break through C. take to D. get throughSection BDirections:Read the following four passages. Each passage is followed by several questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have read.（A）You will never stay the same person.Several recent research studies show a person’s personality naturally changes over time in response to life events and most people tend to improve their personalities as they mature.“Personality means a characteris tic pattern of thinking, feeling and behaving that is consistent over time and across situations,” says Christopher Soto, a research psychologist at Colby College in Maine, US., who thinks that personality is about 50 percent innate and 50 percent learned.Psychologists usually use the Big Five personality model —the human personality can be divided into five broad categories — openness, conscientiousness, agreeableness, neuroticism（神经质）and extroversion（外向）.Some personality types are more successful than others. Soto says people who are more conscientious tend to do better in the workplace and school. People who score high on agreeableness and low on neuroticism tend to have more satisfying and stable relationships. Extroverts do better in social and entrepreneurial（创业的）occupations.According to Soto, even small changes in a person’s personality can produce important effects on relationships, career, health and happiness. But change takes time.“You start by changing the behavior and then, if you can maintain that new behavior over time, it gets cultivated,” Soto says.Where do you start? “First, we have to recognize which pieces of our personality affect us,” says Richard Levak, a well-known personality expert. “If I am always getting fired because I get intoarguments with co-workers and always blame others, then I have to realize that I have to change something,” he says.Don’t set your expectations too high. Be patient. Warren Ke nnaugh, a behavioral strategist in Sydney, Australia, says it’s important to start small. Identify a first step and then practice it without worrying about the primary results. “It’s like learning to kick a football, you focus on the steps, not whether it goes in the goal,” The Wall Street Journal quoted him as saying.You should also let the people close to you know what you’re doing. “Not only can they be supportive,” Kennaugh says, “but a change for you can also mean a change for them — one they may not want or be ready for, if they aren’t told beforehand.”66. The word "innate" (paragraph 3) is closest in meaning to________________.A. instructiveB. inbornC. indifferentD. informative67. If Steve is a successful sales manager, who always gets well along with others, he probably has the personality model of ________________.A. agreeableness and extroversionB. conscientiousness and neuroticismC. agreeableness and neuroticismD. openness and neuroticism68. We can learn from the passage that both Soto and Kennaugh think that ________________.A. adequate time and patience are needed in developing new personalitiesB. when in trouble, one always needs to reflect on his own behaviorsC. one must begin with small things to cultivate new personalitiesD. we are often not sure of the impact of our personalities on our life69. What is this passage mainly about?A. People tend to be changeable as they mature.B. We can easily alter our personalities in a short time.C. Only those of great patience can change their personalities.D. We can improve our personalities with some proper strategies.(B)It’s often interesting to take a look at some of the lists that arrive toward the end of the year such as top devices, best gadgets, most desirable high-tech gift and more.

In addition, young people are starting companies at a sharply lower rate than in the past.A new report from the National Association of Manufacturers shows a major cause: The cost of obeying government regulations has risen to more than $2 trillion (12.26 trillion yuan) annually, or 12 percent of the GDP, and this cost falls disproportionately on smaller, newer businesses.It’s risky, difficult and expensive to start a business, and getting more so. Governments are imposing various new rules on a seemingly daily basis: health insurance, minimum wage increases and, most recently in California, compulsory paid sick days for even hourly employees. These regulations shift huge social welfare costs directly onto often-struggling small businesses, while being proportionally much less costly for larger companies.This is partly an unintended issue of resources - established companies can cope with new costs more easily —but it’s also del iberate. For instance, big insurance companies got a seat at the table to help write Obamacare, but less politically powerful firms - like medical device manufacturers - got squeezed.Mature, successful corporations can employ ex-lawmakers with connections, distribute campaign contributions and even write regulations for themselves. They are also more likely to want to protect steady revenue streams than revolutionize their industry.Major companies that have been so ill-managed they would otherwise collapse — airlines, car companies and banks - stagger（蹒跚）on because politicians ride to the rescue with bags of taxpayer money.The genius of our unique system of government is the determination to protect and defend the rights of the individual over the rights of the nation. As such, the rise of a well-connected oligarchy （寡头政治）that protects big business at the expense of small business, and the established over the new, is opposite to American ideals.Income inequality - which is directly caused by faulty government policy — is being promoted as the reason to impose more of that bad policy. But let’s be perfectly clear, we do not have a free market but one where government picks winners and losers through regulations and financial aids.Politics is, and always has been, about balancing competing interests seeking to benefit themselves, and that’s as it should be, but the force of government should never be used to reduce competition, kill innovation or support and extend artificial monopolies（垄断）by harming the consumer, the taxpayer and the economy.

Then answer the questions or complete the statements in the fewest possible words.The European Space Agency landed a probe（探查器）on a comet（彗星）on Nov 12, a first in space exploration and the highlight of a 10-year journey.Despite some initial faults during the probe’s landing procedure, Philae is now stable on the surface of the comet and sent back its first images on Nov 13.Besides the technical and operational lessons learned from this event, scientists hope that samples drilled out from the comet, known as 67P/Churyumov-Gerasimenko, will unlock details about how the planets – and possibly even life – evolved. Leroy Chiao, a former NASA astronaut, explained in an article that there are theories that impacting comets helped seed the Earth with most of its water, and perhaps with the basic chemical building blocks of life itself.Philae, if successful, will analyze the comet’s soil and determine the quantities of water, nucleic （核素的）and amino（氨基的）acids present. These data will help cast more light on comet-seeding theories. In short, says Chiao, Philae and Rosetta (the mother ship) are prepared to help answer fundamental questions on one possible mechanism of the creation of life.The comet 67P was discovered in 1969. It is a roughly 3-by-5 km rock moving around the sun at 65,983 kilometers per hour. Rosetta, reached it in an extremely complicated path in August after a journey of 6.4 billion km that took 10 years, five months and four days, a mission that cost close to $1.8 billion (11 billion yuan).The US has a small part in the Rosetta mission as some NASA instruments are on board. Scott Martelle, writing in the Los Angeles Times, says the mission thrills us not just because of the knowledge the mission might bring us, but “because of what it says about the fruits of international cooperation, of imagination and vision, and of endless curiosity.”We spend so much time on the close horizons of our lives, Martelle says: “But moments like the landing of the Philae give us a reason to look up, above the horizon. This is where the future of civilization lies, in these joint explorations pressing the edges of our shared ignorance to see what we can learn.”(Note: Answer the questions or complete the statements in NO MORE THAN TEN WORDS)78. Scientists are excited about the samples to be drilled out from the comet, in hope of______________________________________________________________________________.79. The comet-seeding theories seem to imply that _____________________________________ provided by the crashing comets may have helped create the life on earth.80. Give another example of the excitement this mission can bring besides the new knowledge.81. According to Martelle, what should we do for better future civilization?第II卷(共47分)I.

Grammar and Vocabulary （26分）Section ADirections: After reading the passages below, fill in the blanks to make the passages coherent and grammatically correct. For the blanks with a given word, fill in each blank with the proper form of the given word; for the other blanks, use one word that best fits each blank.(A)Many kinds of music can stir the imagination and produce strong feeling. For some people, romantic composers such as Chopin and Tchaikovsky enhance feelings of love and sympathy. Religious and spiritual music 25 help some people feel peace or lessen their pain. But one musician seems to have a unique ability of healing(治愈) the human body – Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart. Scientists have found Mozart’s music to be remarkable in its ability 26 (calm) its listeners. It can also increase their perceptions, and help them express themselves more clearly.Many amazing cases have been documented using Mozart 27 a healing aid. For example, a tiny premature baby 28 (name) Krissy, who weighed just 1.5 pounds at birth, was on total life support. Doctors thought she had little chance of survival. Her mother insisted on playing Mozart for Krissy, and thought 29 saved her daughter’s life. Krissy lived, 30 she was very small for her age and slower than the average child. At the age of four, she showeda n i n t e r e s t i n m u s i c a n d h e r p a r e n t s g a v e h e r v i o l i n l e s s o n s.31 their astonishment, Krissy was able to play musical pieces from memory that were far beyond the ability of an average four-year-old. 32 (play) music helped her improve in all areas of her life.(B)Touch is the first tool we turn to when we face pain. We react similarly to 33 injured toe and a broken heart, tenderly 34 (grasp) the affected area. We are all born with the power to heal ourselves and to heal others because healing energy does not come from within but from outside ourselves. The energy is there for anyone to use, and no formal training 35 (require). When you have the intent to heal, and love is your only motive, you become a channel for healing energy. Through the simple touch of hands, you can use that universal healing energy to comfort those who 36 (experience) pain or distress.In performing healing energy work, it is necessary that you let your intuition (直觉) guide you to the affected area. Just imagine a healing light being drawn in through the top of your head and flowing through your hands. The energy will begin to flow once you have made a physical connection, and your touch will help awaken the body’s ca pacity for self-healing. The affected areas of the body, 37 were previously tense or tight, will relax with enough healing energy.38 (try) not to feel like you aren’t helping if you don’t feel the flow. The work you are doing is indeed helping.Understanding 39 energy works is less important than consciously making use of it. Performing a loving healing treatment on your loved ones can be a wonderful experience that brings you closer together. And as the healing energy passes through you, it can awaken a feeling within you that helps you 40 (well) understand the interactions between the spiritual, physical and mental selves.Section BDirections:Complete the following passage by using the words in the box. Each word can only be used once. Note that there is one word more than you need.Genes are found in every plant or animal cell. They are the basic units of life that are capableof passing specific 41 from one generation to another. For example, whether you are tall or short depends upon the genes that you 42 from your parents. Cloning plants or animals is a process that 43 the production of a new organism that is genetically identical to the organism from which cells were taken. Although this 44 has aroused great interest around the world over the last ten years or so, cloning is not something new in nature. Most mothers give birth to just one child at a time; however, on rare 45 a mother may give birth to a set of twins. If these two children are identical twins, then they are in fact naturally 46 clones of each other, although not of the parents. The reason for them being clones is that the two children originated from one 47 egg and consequently they are genetically identical. Twins thatd e v e l o p f r o m t w o48 eggs are not clones of each other.Cloning also occurs naturally in plants. Strawberry plants reproduce themselves by sending out runners, or modified stems, and these runners take root a short distance from the 49 plant and start to grow, and to produce fruit. In time, this plant sends out runners of its own that also take root. This is known as asexual reproduction; in other words, reproduction that does noti n v o l v e t h e f u s i o n(融合)o f m a l e a n d f e m a l e c e l l s.T h e n e w l y50 plants are clones of the original. In addition to strawberry plants, certain types of flowers and grasses reproduce themselves in the same way. Throughout history, people have also facilitated cloning by taking small cuttings from plants and then growing them into new plants. This form of cloning is called vegetative propagation.III. Reading Comprehension（47分）Section ADirections: For each blank in the following passage there are four words or phrases marked A, B, C and D. Fill in each blank with the word or phrase that best fits the context.Robert Frank, an economist at Cornell, believes that his profession is restricting cooperation and generosity. In the U.S., economics professors give __51__ money to charity than professors in other fields.

But this doesn't exclude the possibility that studying economics pushes people further toward the selfish extreme. By spending time with like-minded people, economics students may become __55__ that selfishness is widespread and reasonable -- or at least that giving is rare and foolish.“As a business school professor, these effects worry me, as economics, __56__ every aspect of our lives, is taught widely in business schools, providing a __57__ for courses in management, finance, and accounting.” says Frank.If economics can __58__ pro-social behavior, which is central to the well-being of people or society, what should we do about it? A change in economics and business __59__ is suggested. Courses in be havioral economics, which considers the role of “social preferences” like __60__, fairness and cooperation, are required for students of economics major. In fact, economics courses not involving some behavioral economics are considered both an inadequate education and a poor preparation to be a practising economist. Also, __61__ width, economics majors are required totake courses in social sciences like sociology and psychology, which place considerable emphasis on how people are __62__ about others, not only themselves. __63__, within economics courses, we should do a better job __64__ the principle of self-interest, which involves anything a person values -- including helping others.Not until then may the prophecy (预言) by Nobel Prize-winning economist and philosopher Amartya Sen be __65__.

For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have just read.(A)I used to think of myself as a fairly cosmopolitan（全球的）sort of person, but my bookshelves told a different story as my literature collection mainly consisted of British and American titles. Worse still, I hardly ever read anything in translation. My reading was limited to stories by English-speaking authors.So, at the start of 2012, I set myself the challenge of trying to read a book from every country in a year to find out what I was missing.With no idea how to go about this, thinking that I was unlikely to find books from nearly 200 nations from my local bookshop, I decided to ask the planet’s readers for help. I created a blog called A Year of Reading the World, appealing for suggestions of titles that I could read in English.The response was amazing. Before I knew it, people all over the world were getting in touch with ideas and offers of help. Some posted me books from their home countries. Others did hours of research on my behalf. In addition, several writers sent me unpublished translations of their novels, giving me a rare opportunity to read works otherwise unavailable to the 62% of British people who only speak English. Even with such support, however, sourcing books was no easy task.Tracking down stories in some unfamiliar places even took as much time as the reading andblogging. It was hard to fit it all in around work and many were the nights when I sat bleary-eyed (睡眼惺忪的) into the small hours to make sure I stuck to my target of reading one book every 1.87 days.Still，one by one, the country names on the list made at the start of the year transformed into vital, exciting places filled with laughter, love, anger, hope and fear. Lands that had once seemed exotic became familiar to me – places I could identify with. At its best, I learned, fiction makes the world real.66.What help did the writer receive to achieve his goal?A.Some writers sent him their original works.B.The local bookstore provided books from 200 nations even if it was unlikely.C.Some writers did research work on what books are popular.D.Some people mailed books from their own countries.67.In order to accomplish his goal, the writer did the following except ______.A.asking for help from all over the worldB.making full use of his leisure time after workC.reading until early next morningD.appealing to writers to send him new books68.What does the word "exotic" in the last paragraph most probably mean?A.Unrealistic.B. Uncivilized.C. Strange.D. Unimaginable.69.Which of the following best describe the writer’s exp erience in the year?A. Original but tiringB. Hard but relaxingC. Busy but fruitfulD.

Visitors can buy reduced tickets as long as they make a reservation.(C)Have you ever seen harmful robots refuse to die,no matter how fiercely people fight back? As is known,it is always the case in some of the scariest sciencefiction.Now, science fiction has changed into sciencefact. For the first time, researchers have created arobotic machine that can stand a beating and keep onwalking. Developed by scientists from CornellUniversity and the University of Vermont, the newrobot looks like a spider with four legs. Until now, even the most advanced robot was almost certain to break down when damaged. That’sbecause its inside computer simply doesn’t know how to operate the machine after its sh ape has changed.To get around this problem, the spidery robot’s developers equipped their invention with eight motors and two sensors that read how the machine is tilting(倾斜). The motors and sensors all provide electrical signals to the machine’s softwa re.Using this information, the system follows a new procedure to figure out the machine’s shape at any given moment. The program chooses from among 100,000 possible arrangements of parts. From there, the computer considers a wide variety of possible next steps, and it calculates how best to move the robot forward the longest possible distance, before trying to move again. “The new strategy is a major advance in robotics”, Professor Skehan, a scientist in Cornell University says, “and it’s far from scary”. The technology may someday help researchers create better artificial arms and legs that give new freedom to people who lack them. The new knowledge might also help scientists understand how people and animals figure out their own sense of place in space.“Designing robots that can adapt to changing environments and can compensate (补偿) for damage has been a difficult problem,” says neuroscientist Olaf Sporns of Indiana University in Bloomington. “This work provides a new way toward solving this important problem.”74. What’s the most important characteristic of the new robot?A. Its shape is like a spider with four legs.B. It can repair itself and move again after damaged.C. It is operated by its inside computer.D. It is certain to change the direction when damaged.75. it can be learnt from the passage that ________.A. animals have no sense of place in spaceB. people have difficulty in figuring out how to get to his destinationC. scientists don ’t understand people ’s ability of locationD. scientists want to know where people and animals are going76. We can infer from the view of Professor Skehan that ________.A. the new technology will help people have a better sense of spaceB. the new technology will help people grow new arms and legsC. designing robots can help to be adaptable to the changing of the environmentD. the new technology will have some medical benefits77. The purpose of the author to write this article is to ________.A. introduce a new robot that will not dieB. discuss science fiction and new inventionC. recommend the latest inventionD. explain the relationship between robot and medicineSection CDirections: Read the passage carefully. Then answer the questions or complete the statements in NO MORE THAN TEN WORDS.With 26 British prime ministers, 58 Nobel prize winners, over 150 Olympic medals and a "notable alumni" list that reads like a historical hall of fame, the institutions of Oxford and Cambridge – collectively known as Oxbridge – are seen, by many, as the dream alma mater(母校).However, as admission season dawns, and the October 15 deadline for Oxbridge inches ever closer, many students may wonder what makes the UK's top two institutions so special. Why does Oxbridge symbolize the academic dream for so many? Do the universities deserve the reputation they hold in the minds of so many teenagers, parents and academics?There is no doubt that both Oxford and Cambridge have a long standing history of academia. Yet, what is often overlooked is the strong reputation of countless other universities in the UK.A simple click on Google can tell students that the London School of Economics and Political Sciences, for example, has over 18 Nobel Prize winners and 50 world leaders. University College London attracts students from 150 countries and has exchange and research links with nearly 300 overseas universities. Manchester University has the largest student union of all UK universities and boasts alumni such as Niels Bohr and James Chadwick.I suddenly realized the Oxbridge effect when I was out in London with friends. I met some new people and was surprised by their reaction when I told them I was going to study at Cambridge. One person even got down on one knee and kissed my hand.From then on, I told people I was going on a gap year. Although I knew that Oxbridge provides a good education, I had never expected to get such extreme reactions. It was this that made me start to feel uncomfortable about the way that Oxbridge is viewed.The Cambridge Tab, the university's student newspaper, has argued that what makes Cambridge special is the fact that the students are told that they are unique and a cut above the rest, so they believe it. Ron Weasley never took the Felix Felicis potion that Harry Potter pretended to give him – all he had to do to win the Quidditch match was to believe he was great.For students applying now, yes, you will receive a world class education at Oxbridge, but you will find the same at numerous other universities throughout the country. Every time you hear about the brilliance of Oxbridge, consider that just because many believe, it does not have to be78. The examples of the London School of Economics and Political Sciences, University College London and Manchester University serve to illustrate the point that __________________________________in the UK.79. According to the passage, we can find that people ___________________ the students at the Oxbridge.80.

I. Listening Comprehension (…)II. Grammar and VocabularySection A(A)When I settled in Chicago，my new city seemed so big and unfriendly. Then I had a physical problem and had to go to hospital for (25) __________ thorough examination.It seemed a small challenge (26) __________ (compare) to the one I was about to face, but things started to go wrong right from the beginning. Not having a car or knowing the city, I was depending on a couple of buses (27) __________ (get) me from A to B. (28) __________ I’d left myself plenty of time, soon it was obvious that I was going to be late, as I had mistakenly boarded a bus that was taking me in the opposite direction.I got off the bus and stood on the pavement, not knowing what to do. I looked into the eyes of a stranger who was trying to get past me. Surprisingly, instead of moving on, she stopped to ask if I was OK. After I explained my situation to her, she pointed to a bus stop across the street, (29) __________ a bus would take me back into the city to my appointment. (30) __________ (sit) there waiting, I felt grateful that someone had been willing to help. Then, hearing a horn nearby, I looked up to see a car with my new friend waving at me to get in. She (31) __________ (return) to offer me a lift to the hospital.Such unexpected kindness (32) __________ a passer-by was a lovely gift to receive. As I climbed out of the car at the hospital and turned to thank her, she smiled and told me not to lose faith, for all things are possible. (B)Most parents, I suppose, have had the experience of reading a bedtime story to their children. And they (33) __________ have realized how difficult it is to write a good children’s book. Either the author has aimed too much, (34) __________ children can’t follow wh at is in his (or more often, her ) story, or the story seems to be talking to the readers.The best children’s books are neither very difficult (35) __________ very simple, and satisfy the child who hears the story and the adult who reads it. Unfortunately, there are in fact few books like this, so the problem of finding the right bedtime story is not easy to solve. This may be why many of the books regarded as works of children’s literature (36) __________ (write) for grownups in fact “Alice in Wonderland” is perhaps the most obvious of this.Children, left for (37) __________, often show the worst possible interest in literature. Just leave a child in a bookshop or a library and he will (38) __________ (willingly) choose the books written in an unimaginative way, or have a look at the most children’s comics, full of the stories and jokes which are the rejections of teachers and righting-thinking parents.Perhaps we parents should stop trying to brainwash children into (39) __________ (accept) our taste in literature. After all, children and adults are so different that we parents should not expect (40) __________ they will enjoy the same books.

The enormous success of science has led to the general belief that scientists have developed and are (42) __________ a "method" — a method that is extremely effective in gaining, organizing, and applying new knowledge. Although this method has a certain appeal, it has not been the key to most of the (43) __________ in science. Regular research, experimentation without guessing, and other methods account for much of the progress in science.Rather than a particular method, the success of science has more to do with an attitude common to scientists. This attitude is essentially one of (44) __________ before the facts. In the scientific spirit, Scientists must accept facts even when they would like them to be different, regardless of their reputation or the number of (45) __________. They must strive to distinguish between what they see and what they wish to see. People have traditionally tended to adopt general rules, beliefs, creeds, theories, and ideas without (46) __________ questioning their validity. The most widespread assumptions are the least questioned. Most often, when an idea is adopted, particular attention is given to cases that seem to support it, while cases refuting it are ignored. In this sense, scientists must be truly expert at (47) __________ their minds, because science seeks not to defend our beliefs but to improve them.Away from their profession, scientists are no more honest than other people. But in their profession they work in an area that (48) __________ honesty. To reduce the likelihood of error, scientists should accept the words only of those whose ideas, theories, and findings are (49) __________— at least in principle. Sooner or later, mistake are bound to be found out and wishful thinking to be exposed. The honesty so (50) __________ to the progress of science thus becomes a matter of self-interest to scientists.III. Reading ComprehensionSection AThe standard research report, regardless of the field or the intended reader, contains four major sections: Problem Section. The first required section of a research report is the statement of the problem with whichpsychological, educational, etc. -- of the question; 53 , why the investigation was worth conducting. Thus, we must explain that the question is thought to have significant relevance to the health of this segment of the population and might 54 some sort of regulations on such foods. As a part, a review of past research isof previous researchers with some assessment of the value to your present research.Procedures Section. The section 56 , with as much data as possible, exactly how the study was carriedyour findings.Section. The third section, perhaps the most important, is the presentation of what is obtainedexpectations, the report should be honestly written and as complete as possible, just as it would be if the hypothesis were totally proven by the research.Discussion Section. The final required section of a research report is a discussion of the results obtained and a statement of any conclusions drawn from them. Of primary importance is the conclusion for future decision making. 63 , the discussion section must access the research results fully: were they validly obtained, are they complete or limited, are they 64 over a wide range of circumstances? The discussion section should also point out what question remain 65 and perhaps suggest directions for further research.51 A. focused B. concerned C. satisfied D. concentrated52 A. potential B. existence C. significance D. implication53 A. in other words B. for example C. as a result D. on the whole54 A. result from B. occur to C. stand for D. lead to55 A. diligence B. endurance C. hardships D. contributions56 A. deals B. details C. monitors D. indicates57 A. subjects B. factors C. measures D. observations58 A. influence B. polish C. evaluate D. predict59 A. confirm B. protest C. convince D. suspect60 A.

Therefore C. Furthermore D. Otherwise64 A. flexible B. applicable C. predicable D. recognizable65 A. unanswered B. unprocessed C. discussed D. investigatedSection B(A)Ocean storms develop when the air temperature in one area is different from the temperature nearby. Warmer air rises, while cooler air falls. These movements create a difference in atmospheric pressure.If the pressure changes over a large area, winds start to blow in a huge circle. High-pressure air is pulled toward a low-pressure center. Thick clouds form and heavy rains fall as the storm gains speed and moves over the ocean. Storms can get stronger as they move over warm ocean waters.The strongest, fastest winds of a hurricane blow in the area known as the eye wall. It surrounds the center, or eye, of the storm. The eye itself is calm by comparison.Wind speeds in the most severe ocean storms can reach more than 250 kilometers an hour. Up to 50 centimeters of rain can fall. Some storms have produced more than 150 centimeters of rain.These storms also cause high waves and ocean surges. A surge is a continuous movement of water that may reach as high as six meters or more. The water strikes low coastal areas. Surges are commonly responsible for about 90 percent of all deaths from ocean storms.The National Hurricane Center in Miami keeps close watch on severe storms. It works with government officials and with radio and television stations to keep people informed. Experts believe this early warning system has helped reduce deaths from ocean storms in recent years.Studies have found that some people do not leave a storm-threatened area because they have no transportation or money for transportation. Another reason is that they fear their property will be damaged by other people, if not by the storm. Yet another reason is that people do not want to leave their farm animals or pets.Weather experts use computer programs to create models that show where a storm might go. Scientists collect the information with satellites, weather balloons and devices floating in the oceans. They use the Saffir-Simpson Hurricane Scale to measure the intensity of storms based on wind speed. This provides an idea of the amount of coastal flooding and property damage that might be expected.66. Which of the following is not the contributor to ocean storms’ formation?A. movements of warm and cold airB. different atmospheric pressureC. winds blowing in a huge circleD. thick clouds and heavy rains67. It can be inferred from the passage that __________.A. the strongest, fastest winds of a hurricane blow is the storm eyeB. people died from ocean storms mainly because of surgesC. some storms cause high waves but not ocean surgesD. ocean storms have nothing to do with atmospheric pressure68. Which of the following may not be the reason why people do not . Sleave a storm-threatened area?A. They haven’t been warned at all.B. They have no access to vehicles.C. They are concerned about their possessions.D. They can’t bear deserting the domestic animals.69. Scientists use the Saffir-Simpson Hurricane Scale mainly to __________.A. show where the storm might goB. measure the property damageC. know how strong the storm isD. control the costal flooding(B)Mobile Phone Sterilizer ManualAbout Mobile Phone Sterilizer:Do you know bacteria on the phone is more than that on the toilet seat cover, toilet door handle, sole and shopping malls counters?

The passage is probably __________.A. an advertisementB. a newspaper articleC. a science reportD. an instruction for a product(C)Economic globalization may have various strong impacts on different world cultures. Populations may mimic the international flow of capital and labor markets in the form of immigration and the merger of cultures. Foreign resources and economic measures may impact different native cultures and may cause assimilation of a native people.Researchers are now studying the effects of economic globalization on the youth in various world populations such as Arab, South American, South East-Asian, Caribbean, and African populations. As these populations are exposed to the English language, computers, western music, and North American culture, changes are being noted in shrinking family size, immigration to larger cities, more casual dating practices, and gender roles are transformed.Yu Xintian wrote in a cultural impact study that there were two contrary trends in culture due to economic globalization. Xintian argues that culture and industry not only flows from the west while affecting people, but he says there is also a cultural nationalization or an effect of localization that wishes to promote and protect individual cultures. He also points out that economic globalization began after WWII, whereas internationalization began over a century ago and is something completely different.George Ritzer wrote about the McDonaldization of society and how fast food businesses spread throughout the United States and the rest of the world, forcing world populations to adopt fast food culture. In this book, Ritzer also writes about how other businesses have copied the McDonalds Corporation's business model for expansion and influence. In 2006, 233 of 280 or over 80% of the new McDonalds opened were overseas. In 2007, Japan had 2,828 McDonalds locations and serves as just one example of the globalized effect of international corporations. The Body Shop, a British ecologically conscious cosmetic company, represents the process of McDonaldization working in all directions. Various countries export their own versions of McDonaldization but have the same influences in standardizing world culture.Global media news companies export information through news, radio, and internet. This creates a mostly one-way flow of information, and exposure of mostly western products and values. Companies like CNN, Reuters, and the BBC dominate the global airwaves while having a particular western point of view. Other media news companies such as Al Jazeera may offer a different point of view, but have a far smaller audience and thus effect fewer people in influence.74. In paragraph 1, the underlined word “mimic” probably means __________.A. impactB. imitateC. changeD. represent75. According to paragraph 2 and paragraph 3, it can be inferred that __________.A. McDonald’s business models has influenced other businessesB. internationalization followed economic globalizationC. economic globalization promotes and protects individual culturesD. the Body Shop differs from McDonald’s in standardizing world culture76. Which of the following can be concluded from the passage?A. The youth in Arab, South America tend to have bigger family size.B. Al Jazeera is one of the companies that dominate the global airwaves.C. Economic globalization has strong impacts on Global media news.D. Al Jazeera may have a particular western point of view.77. Which of the following might be the best title of the passage?A. Effects of Cultural InternationalizationB. Effects of Global Media News CompaniesC. Impact of McDonaldization on World EconomyD. Impact of Economic Globalization on World EconomySection CThe purpose of ecotourism is to engage tourists in low impact, non-consumptive environments in order to maintain species, habitats and cultures as well as further the local economy. While some ecotourism projects can support such claims, many have failed to achieve the intended goals.It is sometimes overlooked that although ecotourism is meant for small groups, even a modest increase in population, however temporary, puts extra pressure on the local environment. Although ecotourists claim to be environmentally concerned, they rarely acknowledge how their routine life like eating, drinking or even toilet using are all part of threats to local ecological systems.” Nor do ecotourists recognize even harmless-sounding activities such as nature hikes can be ecologically destructive. In the Annapurna Circuit in Nepal, ecotourists have worn down the marked trails and created alternate routes, contributing to soil erosion, and plant damage.In some cases, local people contribute to the environmental degradation. Since most forms of ecotourism are owned by foreign investors and corporations, few benefits are provided to local communities, and only a limited number of local people are employed in the economy. The lack of economic opportunities for local people obliges them to degrade the environment as a means of life earning. The presence of ecotourists, thus, encourages the development of destructive markets in wildlife souvenirs, such as the sale of coral trinkets on tropical islands and animal products in Asia.Generally, ecotourism has been developed with virtually no controls. While governments are typically entrusted with the administration and enforcement of environmental protection, they often lack the capability to manage ecotourism sites effectively. The regulations may be vaguely defined, hard to enforce, and uncertain in effectiveness. Management by private ecotourism companies offers an alternative, but it is believed that such companies have more desire for self-interests, which indicates this practice is not economically feasible. When will the trend of ecotourism towards commercialization end?(Note: Answer the questions or complete the statements in NO MORE THAN 10 WORDS)78. Ecotourism hasn’t achieved satisfactory results because many projects can’t reach the intended goal of _______________.79. Ecotourists may not realize their problem because it is _______________ that potentially cause damage to the local ecological environment.80. How do some local people in ecotourist areas earn their living?81. In what aspects should governments improve their management to bring ecotourism under control?Translation1. 旅游业的激烈竞争使得去海南旅游的游客数量逐年下降。

Some people think that Catholicschools are 51.for cultivating religious beliefs. However, many Catholicschools concentrate on 52.the behavior of kids who have done poorly inpublic schools. In public schools there are 53.rules. Rules are plentiful atCatholic schools, and someone is always making sure they are 54..Most people believe that nuns (修女) are kind women who have 55.their lives to their religion. Our headmaster, Sister Mary Elizabeth, was the meanest woman I 56.met. She smoked and 57.and carried a ruler throughthe halls. She'd use it to hit students who werenot 58.. She even kept aneven bigger stick in the storage closet in the gym. When a student 59.someone, she had a solution. The same solution existed for a student who had poor 60.. And if a student was too 61.or did something wrong,they were not sent to the headmaster's office. 62., they were sent to the gym closet.I went to the gym closet once. The room was 63.lit when I arrived. It wasalso 64.with cigarette smoke when I got there. Sister Mary Elizabeth'sconstant bad 65.was even worse that day. It happened that her 66.baseball team, which she had bet on, lost. The experience really 67.me.That's how it 68.with most students. They took their 69.once and were too frightened to do anything wrong again. Some people say that this experience teaches students the discipline and the ability to 70.pressure that they will need in life. However, many people doubt it.Part 3 Reading Comprehension (Multiple Choice)(Each item: 2)Directions:Read the following passages carefully and choose the best answer from the four choices marked A, B, C and D.Questions 71 to 75 are based on the same passage or dialog.Elderly people respond best to a calm and unhurried environment. This is not always easy to provide as their behavior can sometimes be difficult to handle. If they get excited or upset then they may become more confused and more difficult to look after. Although sometimes it can be extremely difficult, it is best to be patient and not to get upset yourself. You should always encourage old people to do as much as possible for themselves but be ready to lend a helping hand when necessary.Failing memory makes it difficult for the person to recall all the basic kinds of information we take for granted. The obvious way to help in this situation is to supply the information that is missing and help them make sense of what is going on. You must use every opportunity to provide information but remember to keep it simple and direct."Good morning, Mother. This is Fiona, your daughter. It's eight o'clock, so if you get up now, we can have breakfast downstairs."When the elderly person makes confused statements, e.g. about going out to his or her old employment or visiting a dead relative, correct him in a calm matter-of-fact fashion: "You don't work in the office any more. You are retired now. Will you come and help me with the dishes?" We rely heavily on the information provided by signposts, clocks, and newspapers. These assist usto organize and direct our behavior. Confused old people need these aids all the time to compensate for their poor memory. Encourage them to use reminder boards or diaries for important coming events and label the contents of different boxes. Many other aids such as information cards, old photos, addresses or shopping lists could help in individual cases.71. When do elderly people respond best?A. When they are calm and unhurried.B. When people tell them to be calm and unhurried.C. When their environment is calm and unhurried.D. When others are calm and unhurried.72. What should you encourage old people to do?A. To do as little as possible.B. To do as much as they can.C. To help others when needed.D. To be patient and not get upset.73. How should we provide information to old people with failing memories?A. By being helpful.B. By being direct.C. By being sensitive.D. By being obvious.74. What is the purpose of information provided on such things as signposts?A. To help us organize and direct our behavior.B. To help us make use of newspapers.C. To help us correct other people.D. To help us understand statements.75. Besides diaries, what else can help old people remember significant coming events?A. Labels.B. Reminder boards.C. Information cards.D. Photos.Questions 76 to 80 are based on the same passage or dialog.Another example of the dangers of a restricted diet may be seen in the disease known as "beri-beri" (脚气病), which used to affect large numbers of Eastern peoples who lived mainly on rice. In the early years of the 20th century, a Dutch scientist named Eijkman was trying to discover the cause of beri-beri. At first he thought it was transmitted (传送) by a germ (细菌). He was working in a Japanese hospital, where the patients were fed on rice which had had the external husk (壳) removed from the grain, called "white rice." It was thought this would be easier for weak, sick people to digest.Eijkman thought his germ theory was confirmed when he noticed the chickens in the hospital yard, which were fed on scraps (碎片) from the patients' plates, were also showing signs of the disease. He then tried to isolate the germ he thought was causing the disease, but his experiments were interrupted by a hospital official, who ruled that the huskless polished rice was too good for chickens. The chickens should be fed cheap rice with the external covering still on the grain, called "brown rice."Eijkman noticed that the chickens began to recover on the new diet. He began to consider the possibility that eating brown rice somehow prevented or cured beri-beri—even that a lack of some ingredient in the husk might be the cause of the disease. Indeed this was the case. The element needed to prevent beri-beri was shortly afterwards isolated from rice husks and is now known as Vitamin B. The white rice, though more expensive, was keeping alive the disease the hospital was trying to cure.76. From the context, what do you think the author mentions in the paragraph that is just before this first paragraph?A. One example of the importance of vitamins.B. One example of the benefits of eating healthy foods.C. One example of the dangers of a restricted diet.D. One example of the benefits of various vitamins.77. The disease "beri-beri" ________.A. kills large numbers of Western peoplesB. is a vitamin deficiency diseaseC. is transmitted by diseased riceD. can be caught from diseased chickens78. The chickens Eijkman noticed in the hospital yard ________.A. couldn't digest the huskless riceB. proved beri-beri is transmitted by germsC. were later cooked for the patients' foodD. were suffering from vitamin deficiency79. Huskless, white rice ________.A. was cheaper than brown riceB. was less beneficial to the body than brown riceC. was more beneficial to the body than brown riceD. cured beri-beri80. The ingredient missing from white rice ________.A. was Vitamin BB. did not affect the chickensC. was named the Eijkman vitaminD. has never been accurately identifiedQuestions 81 to 85 are based on the same passage or dialog.Yinlan looked at the people sitting around the table and smiled with satisfaction. Everyone in her family was there—her children, her grandchildren, and her new great-grandson, just one month old. Her whole family had come to celebrate the Harvest Moon Festival (节日).Two days after the Harvest Moon Festival, Yinlan died peacefully in her sleep. Her family was sad but at the same time grateful. They felt happy that they had been able to celebrate the Harvest Moon Festival with her one last time. Everyone said it was remarkable that Yinlan had died just two days after the holiday.Actually, the timing of Yinlan's death was not remarkable at all. Recently sociologists (社会学家) studied the death rate among elderly Chinese women in California. They discovered that the death rate drops 35 percent before the Harvest Moon Festival and then rises 35 percent. Sociologists believe that these changes in death rate show the mind's power over the body. The Harvest Moon Festival, when families gather, is important to elderly Chinese women. Apparently some women are able to postpone (推延) their deaths so that they can celebrate the festival one last time.The idea that people can postpone the time of their deaths is not new. Many families tell stories of a relative who held on to life until after an important event. The stories people tell, however, are just that: stories. They are not proof that people can postpone their deaths. The sociologists' work is important because the sociologists studied facts, not stories. The facts—the drop and rise in death rates—prove that people really can postpone their deaths.81. When did Yilan die?A. During the Harvest Moon Festival.B. Before going to sleep.C. Just before the Harvest Moon Festival.D. A couple days after the Harvest Moon Festival.82. The writer tells us the story of Yilan to let us know that _________.A. the Harvest Moon Festival is important to elderly Chinese womenB. Chinese families get together to enjoy the Harvest Moon FestivalC. families are often sad during the Harvest Moon FestivalD. people may be able to put off death for an important event83. Where did the study take place?A. China.B. Yilan's home.C. Festival grounds.D. California.84. What does the author describe as "not new"?A. The work of sociologists.B. Proof of postponing death.C. The Harvest Moon Festival.D. Stories of putting off death.85. What provides us with proof?A. The stories of family members.B. The numbers showing death rates.C. The important events.D. The postponing of death.Quiz1题号答案1.B2.A3.C4.D5.B6.D7.C8.D9.C 10. A11.A 12.D 13.C 14.A 15.A 16.A 17.D 18.C 19.D 20.

You are probably better at some school subjects than others. These may show strengths that you can use in your work. A boy who is good at mathematics can use that in an engineering career. So it is important to know thesubjects you do well in at school. On the other hand, you may not have any especially strong or weak subjects but your records show a general satisfactory standard. Although not all subjects can be used directly in a job, they may have indirect value. A knowledge of history is not required for most jobs but if history is one of your good subjects you will have learned to remember facts and details. This is an ability that can be useful in many jobs.If you have had a part-time job on Saturdays or in the summer, think what you gained from it. If nothing else, you may have learned how to get to work on time, to follow instructions and to get on with older workers. You may have learned to give correct change in a shop, for example. Just as important, you may become interested in a particular industry or career you see from the inside in a part-time job.Facing your weak points is also part of knowing yourself. You may be all thumbs when you handle tools; perhaps you are a poor speller or cannot add up a column of figures. It is better to face any weaknesses than to pretend they do not exist. Your school record, for instance, may not be too good, yet it is an important part of your background. You should not be apologetic about it but instead recognize that you will have a chance at a fresh start at work.71.Which of the following best sums up the first paragraph?A. The importance of doing well at school.B. Using school performance to help to choose a career.C. The importance of being good at all subjects.D. The indirect value of schoolwork.72.Which subject has indirect, rather than direct, use for a job?A. Mathematics.B. English.C. Engineering.D. History.73.The writer thinks that for a student to have a part-time job is probably ______.A. a waste of time that could have been spent on studyB. useful for his future workC. a good way to earn extra moneyD. a good way to find out his weak points74.According to the passage, if a student's school record is not good, he ______.A. will be a complete failure in his future workB. will not be able to find a suitable jobC. will regret not having worked harder at schoolD. may do well in his future work75.The whole passage centers on ______.A. choosing a career according to what one is skilled inB. acquiring knowledge by working hard at schoolC. finding one's strong and weak pointsD. developing one's useful abilities in school workQuestions 76 to 80 are based on the same passage or dialog.As a Canadian bilingual (双语的) teacher, I agree that the Canadian bilingual schools have been successful in producing functionally bilingual students. However, Mr. Whelpton's suggested condition that teachers in these schools must be fully bilingual may be unnecessary. For example, primary teachers can and do function with a smaller vocabulary than secondary teachers.Secondly, it is doubtful that students will use English because they "understand and accept the objective of making English the language of the classroom" which is a rather sterile explanation. One reason that Canadian bilingual programs work is because of the commitment to Whole Language Learning, that is, children learn a language, (first or second), by using it to transmit (播送) or receive meaningful messages that are interesting, real and important. They want to make their needs and desires known and to understand the world around them. Bilingual programs integrate language and content in an activity-based, child-centered manner so that the child is motivated to use the second language as a tool to transmit and receive messages related to social and academic interests.Mr. Whelpton's third argument that all the students in one class need to be at approximately the same level of English proficiency (熟练) when they switch to English is unrealistic and unprofitable. How does a teacher group children who have a huge vocabulary but poor grammar skills with others who have correct grammar but a poor vocabulary? Also, suppose the students have similar language abilities but different learning styles! Therefore the concept of Cooperative Learning: students with a mixture of personalities, talents and weaknesses (a more realistic reflection of life) learn better as they cooperate (合作), instead of compete, and depend on each other for support and information.76.How would you describe the writer's style?A. Written in an academic style.B. Written in a journalistic style.C. Written in a personal style.D. Written on the basis of widespread research in the area.77.How would you describe the writer's attitude towards the Canadian bilingual programs?A. Balanced.B. Unenthusiastic.C. Supportive.D. Critical.78.In Paragraph 1 the writer ________.A. agrees completely with Mr. Whelpton's argumentB. agrees partially with Mr. Whelpton's argumentC. disagrees completely with Mr. Whelpton's argumentD. is overwhelmingly critical of Mr. Whelpton's argument79.In Paragraph 2 "sterile" is closest in meaning to ________.A. uninformativeB. unusualC. exaggeratedD. uninspiring80.According to the writer the Canadian bilingual programs have been a success ________.A. because students accept the objective of making English the language of the classroomB. because students study in classrooms where everybody is at about the same levelC. because the students can use their first language freelyD. because they work towards real life goalsQuestions 81 to 85 are based on the same passage or dialog.Prices determine how resources are to be used. They are also the means by which products and services that are in limited supply are rationed (供应，分发) among buyers. The price system of the United States is a very complex network composed of the prices of all the products bought and sold in the economy as well as those of a myriad (极大数量) of services, including labor, professions, transportation, and public-utility (公用事业) services. The interrelationship of all these prices makes up the system of prices. The price of any particular product or service is linked to a broad, complicated system of prices in which everything seems to depend more or less upon everything else.If one were to ask a group of randomly (任意地) selected individuals to define price, many would reply that price is an amount of money paid by the buyer to the seller of a product or service or, in other words, that price is the money value of a product or service as agreed upon in market transaction. This definition is, of course, valid as far it goes. For a complete understanding of a price in any particular transaction, much more than the money involved must be known. Both the buyer and seller should be familiar with not only the money amount, but with the amount and quality of the product or service to be exchanged, the time and place at which the exchange will take place and payment will be made, the form of money to be used, the credit terms and discounts that apply to the transaction, guarantees (保证) on the product or service, delivery terms, return privilege, and other factors. In other words, both the buyer and seller should be fullyaware of all the factors that compose the total "package" being exchanged for the asked-for amount of money in order that they may evaluate a given price.81.What is the best title for the passage?A. The Inherent Weaknesses of the Price System.B. The Complexities of the Price System.C. Credit Terms in Transactions.D. Resource Distribution and the Public Sector.82.According to the passage, the price system is related primarily to _____.A. labor and educationB. transportation and insuranceC. utilities and repairsD. products and services83.According to the passage, which if the following is NOT a factor in the completeunderstanding of price?A. Instructions that come with a product.B. The quantity of a product.C. The quality of a product.D. Warranties (保修证书) that cover a product.84.In the last sentence, the word "they" refers to ______.A. return privilegesB. buyers and sellersC. money and creditsD. all the factors85.The paragraph following the passage most likely discusses ______.A. unusual ways to advertise productsB. types of payment plans for serviceC. theories about how products affect different levels of societyD. how certain elements of a price "package" influence its market value。

The passage is followed by some questions. For each of them there are four choices marked A), B), C) and D). You should decide on the best choice.Many historians of the twentieth century look back at the fifteenth century and say, “Machiavelli was the first political scientist in history.” They say that he looked at politics for the first time with the factual eye of a scientist. He was only interested in the facts. He thought that politics and morality didn’t go together very often, but he studied ideas of right and wrong, alongwith politics; government leaders, he wrote, could use these ideas to get and keep power.In Machiavelli’s opinion, the nature of human beings is usually evil, so a good person must always fail. He thought it was important for a political leader to know how to be bad. In fact, Machiavelli saw leaders of government as people above ordinary human beings; so he believed, they are also above ordinary morality. Good and evil, he said, are only ideas that weak people use to excuse weakness; powerful people use these ideas to keep other people weak. They can lead because they want power and because they fight for it. Also, these leaders are not usually afraid to leave morality behind, so they don’t have ideas of right or wrong to stop them. They think only of power. It is nice, Machiavelli said, if political leaders can also be good people, but they must know how to be bad when the time comes.Machiavelli said that it is natural to fight for power and that there are two methods people use: law and physical force. The first method is the way of human beings, and the second method is the way of animals. Great political leaders very often use the way of animals, but they usually pretend to use the way of good human beings. They do this to get and keep power.People are evil, in Machiavelli’s opinion, so war and fighting are always in the world; they are a natural part of it. Political leaders know the way of nature, of people, and animals, and they use their knowledge to get what they want.46. According to the passage, a political scientist is a person who ____________.A) studies politics and science at the same timeB) studies in a political wayC) knows politics as well as scienceD) studies politics in a scientific way47. It can be inferred from the passage that ____________.A) Machiavelli studied politics and ideas of right and wrongB) Morality and politics went together very oftenC) Machiavelli was interested in facts and opinionsD) Machiavelli looked at science with the eye of a politician48. According to the passage, in the opinion of Machiavelli, ____________.A) political leaders are special human beings and have different morality.B) human beings are usually bad and are certain to failC) powerful people use ideas of right and wrong to control themselvesD) it is important for a political leader to know the nature of humans49. Which of the following is NOT true according to the passage? ____________.A) Powerful people use ideas of good and evil to control weak peopleB) Weak people use ideas of good and evil to excuse weaknessC) Powerful people are afraid to desert moralityD) Powerful people should know how to be bad50. It is implied in the passage that ____________.A) Political leaders know how to get what they desire as animals doB) wars are likely to occur so long as evil leaders existC) political leaders often use physical force to fight for powerD) political leaders pretend to be bad to keep other people weak。

Being a good youth, one should have those factors:the basic one is health. A healthy body is a kind of priceless treasure. Onecan do nothing without it. Secondly, we should pay essential attention toour moral character. We should be always willing to help those in troublewithout any complaints. Moreover, we should care more about the people around us. Thirdly, cooperation and communication also play an important role inbeing a good youth. No one can live alone without any friends. And nobodycan work out every problem without help of partners. So the youth should and must learn how to live and work well with others, including those people you don't like to cooperate or communicate with. The last but not the least,patriotism, meaning a love of one's country, is the one we should never forget. People always misunderstand the word “patriots ” by thinking it only refers to those fighters who fight for their country.

Well, it is a big question that you always ask yourself.There is no short cut to success, which is the first thing you s hould remember. For this reason you have to study hard first of all. Besides, here are some tips for you.Never fear or hate exams and be confident. Some students study well but still may be afraid of exams and due to this rea son they won’t be able to get good marks. So leave all your fe ars behind and free your mind before starting your studies. Yo u have to be confident and it is the most important thing for att aining victory.Prepare a good timetable. Prepare a timetable before starting your studies. This should include all subjects, but tough subje cts can be given more time while easier ones less. And reme mber some time shall be spared for entertainment and also th ere should be enough break time between each subject.Select a proper atmosphere for studying. No need to explain this point. Can anyone study well while watching TV? So sele ct a place where you feel comfortable and can concentrate. And importantly it is better to study early in the morning when y ou will have quiet surroundings and you can concentrate mor e.Make notes while studying. This is a very important point. M ake small notes while studying can help you remember all the points. It will work better if you use these notes for revision in the last one or two hours than you skip through pages of your textbook. It won’t take much time to go through these notes. Write well. As we all know, the first impression is the best im pression. So your handwriting affects your marks. Try to write neatly. If it is not good enough, don’t worry; if you present it in a good manner you can score more marks.36．Which proverb can show the writer’s attitude towards our studies?A. No pains, no gains.B. Knowledge is power.C. It’s never too old to learn.D. Nothing is impossible for a willing heart.37．Why do some students hate exams according to the pas sage?A.

Because they don’t have enough self-confidence. 38．Why does the writer say “No need to explain this point” in Paragraph 5?A. Because it’s difficult to explain.B. Because it’s easy to understand.C. Because we need to study in silence.D. Because a proper atmosphere can be formed anywhere.B“Long time no see” is a very interesting sentence．When I firs t read this sentence from an American friend’s email，I laughed．I thought it was a perfect example of Chinglish．Obviously，it is a word-by-word literal translation of the Chinese greetings with a ruled E nglish grammar and structure! Later on，my friend told me that it is a standard American greeting．I w as too thrilled to believe her．Her words could not convince m e at all．So I did a research on Google．com．To my surpris e，there are over 60 thousand web pages containing “Long timeno see．” This sentence has been widely used in emails，letters，newspapers，movies，books，or any other possible places．Though it is sort of informal，it is part of the language that Americans use daily．Ironically ，if you type this phrase in Microsoft Word，the software will tell you that the grammar needs to be correct ed．Nobody knows the origin of this Chinglish sentence．Some p eople believe that it came from Charlie Chan’s movies．In the 1930s，Hollywood moviemakers successfully created a world wide fa mous Chinese detective named “Charlie Chan” on wide scree ns．Detective Chan likes to teach Americans some Chinese wisdom by quoting Confucius(孔子)．“Long time no see” was his trademark．Soon after Charl ie Chan，“Long time no see” became a popular phrase in the real world with thanks to the popularity of these movies．Some scholars refer to America as a huge pot of “stew”．All k inds of culture are mixed in the stew together，and they change the color and taste of each other．American Chinese，though a minority ethnic（少数民族的成员） group in the United States，is also contributing some changes to the stew! Language is u sually the first thing to be influenced in the mixed stew．You can have some other examples than adoptions from Chin ese，such as pizza from Italian，susi from Japanese，and déjà vu from French etc．There is a long list! Americans do not just simply borrow something from others．They will m odify it and make it their own，so you would not be surprised to find a tofu and peanut butter hamburger in a restaurant，or to buy a bottle of iced Chinese green tea with honey in a gr ocery store．Since Americans appreciate Chinese culture mo re and more nowadays，I believe more Chinese words will become American English i n the future．In this way the American stew keeps adding rich ness and flavor．39．The writer himself felt surprised at ______．A．the Chinglish expression “Long time no see”B．“Long time no see” used as standard American English C．so many literal translation of the expressions used in D．finding out Americans use the expression every day 40．The word “stew” in the 4th paragraph probably means __ ____．A．mixture literature B．Confucius’ word sC．a kind of cooked dish D．American cha nging cultures41．According to the passage，it can be inferred that ______．A．detectives translate the phrase “Long time no see”B． made “Long time no see” popularC．the huge pot of stew greatly affects all kinds of languages D．cultures can be changed in the huge pot of stew 42．The main idea of the passage is that ______．A．some Chinese expressions are introduced into English B．you’ll not be surprised at a tofu in a restaurant in C．some American expressions can be used in D．American English keep being enriched from different cultu resCTracey Hermanstorfer's heart stopped beating and her son C oltyn appeared lifeless after the Caesarean(剖腹产术)section on Christmas Eve. However a few minutes after hewas born, both began breathing again. Dr Stephanie Martin t old Good Morning America she could not explain how the pair survived. Mrs Hermanstorfer and her husband Mike told the American television show that their baby was now healthy an d that they were doing “good” following the drama at Colorado Springs Memorial Hospital.The couple, who already had two children, had to go into the hospital seven weeks earlier than planned. Her husband, 37, said his wife was tired after receiving an epidural(硬脑膜外麻醉)during the labour(分娩)but after closing her eyes, she “wasn't waking up”．She st opped breathing and she is believed to have suffered a heart attack before her heart stopped beating entirely.Dr Martin said she was called in and that the outlook was grim （严酷的） since in most situations like this，“despite the best efforts of the team”, the mother was often un able to be revived. In that case doctors then tried to focus on delivering the baby but when he was born he was “completely lifeless”．Mr. Hermanstorfer told the Associated Press news agency，“I had everything in the world taken from me, and in an hour a nd a half I had everything given to me.”Dr Martin said she did not have a“great explanation”for why Mrs Hermanstorfer's heartbeat returned. “Somewhere between four and five minutes she had been without heart rate and ha d stopped breathing a minute or two prior to her heart stoppin g，”she said. The doctors were then able to bring the baby ba ck to life, and the mother was alive after that.Despite tests, she said doctors were still not sure about what had happened. However Mrs Hermanstorfer and her husband Mike have said they believed it was down to a miracle. She s aid：“I got a second chance in life.”43．What might have happened to Tracey Hermanstorfer just before her heart stopped beating?A．She became unconscious. B．She took a nap. C．She had a bad headache.D．She suffered a heart attack.44．Which of the following is the correct order of what happe ned to Tracey Hermanstorfer?a．suffering a heart attackb．stopping heart beating entirelyc．stopping breathingd．coming back to lifee．receiving an epiduralf．producing a babyA．a c f d b e B．f c a d b e C．e a c b f d D. e a b c f d45．Which of the following words best expresses Dr Martin's attitude towards Tracey Hermanstorfer's coming back to life?A. Shocked.B. Puzzled.C．. D. Curious.第二节根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。

In the United States and Europe, there are special shops that sell clothing and food for cats and dogs.In many countries of the world, there is special food for pets. It is common for big markets in many places to sell cat food and dog food. However, in a small town in France, there is a special restaurant for dogs. Dogs are the only customers. There is seating for twenty of them. The dogs choose from a variety of dishes on the menu.Of course, in most parts of the world, pets don't live in such wealth andcomfort. People treat their pets in a more practical way. People own cats and dogs because they keep away mice and other unwanted animals.

He had a habit of walking on the beach before he began his work.One day he was walking along the shore. As he looked down the beach, he saw a human figure moving like a dancer. He smiled to himself at the thought of someone who would dance on the beach. So he began to walk faster to catchup.As he got closer, he saw that it was a young man and the young man wasn't dancing, but instead he was reaching down to the shore, picking up something and very gently throwing it into the ocean.As he got closer he called out, "Good morning! What are you doing?"The young man paused, looking up and replied, "Throwing starfish (海星) in the ocean.""Well then, why are you throwing starfish into the ocean?""The sun is up and the tide is going out. And if I don't throw them in they'll die.""But, young man, don't you realize that there are miles and miles of beach and starfish all along it. You can't possibly make a difference!"The young man listened politely. Then he bent down, picked another starfish and threw it into the ocean, past the breaking waves and said, "It made a difference for that one."There is something very special in each and every one of us. All of us have a natural ability to make a difference. If we can become aware of that ability, we will have the power to shape the future.All of us must find our starfish. If we throw our starfish wisely and well, the world will be wonderful.76.Before he began writing, the wise man would ____A____.A. take a walk along the shoreB. go swimming in the oceanC. have a walk and pick up starfish on the beachD. look down the beach and enjoy the scene77.One day, the wise man saw a young man ____D____.A. dancing along the beachB. walking along the beachC. picking up starfish for saleD. trying to save as many starfish as possible78.Near the end of the passage, "something very special" refers to____D____.A. the ability to make decisionsB. natural abilitiesC. starfish that the young man threw back to the oceanD. our ability to have an effect on the future79.Which of the following statements is True according to the passage?_B_A.

Lately, however, plants that are usually only grown outdoors have found their way into inside spaces. There are a few simple reasons why this is.The modern inside environment can be a good place for a wide variety of outdoor plants. Plants that ordinarily cannot grow in colder outdoor weather can be protected by the inside spaces, where temperatures are easily controlled. Plants that used to be found only outside, such as trees, have become more and more popular as decorations inside houses. Orchids (兰花), which were once only found in hot places, have begun to grow well in inside places. A large number of smaller plants have also found their way into homes.One reason that the modern home has made exotic (引进的) outdoor plants more practical is the modern use of windows. In the past windows were used less often in buildings than they are today. It is partly because of the ability of large windows to admit a large quantity of light from the sun and to keep the heat in at the same time, that many outdoor plants have been able to make their move inside.It is true that most of the plants that have been successful in moving inside have been small. Some of the best-suited varieties are the vines (藤本植物). Many vines that grow in natural locations make excellent decorations where other plants prove difficult to grow. Although some trees can be grown inside, it is not likely the larger varieties can be used. Unfortunately, most homes just don't have the space to grow a monkey tree.81.The passage is mainly concerned with ____C____.A. the ability of large windowsB. the difficulty of moving monkey trees into homesC. growing plants inside housesD. the best suited trees82.People used to believe that ____A____.A. the plants that could grow inside were limitedB. the plants that could grow inside were from hot placesC. the temperature in the inside environment could be controlledD. the larger plants grew better inside.83.It is implied or suggested in the passage that ____B____.A. there are more plants today than ever beforeB. people like to use plants as decorations in their housesC. people move plants into their houses to save themD. the uses of windows in the past were not practical84.One function of modern windows is ____C____.A. to allow fresh air inB. to grow plants and trees insideC. to provide heat and lightD. to control the temperature85.It is not likely that large plants will move inside because ____D____.A. the weather is not suitableB. they cannot be movedC. they cannot be controlledD. there is not enough space。

endorsements(代言). “Explain that advertisers pay millions of dollars for celebrities to endorsea product, and that the people who buy the product end up sharing the cost,” she says.3.Supervise with sensitivityAccording to a survey conducted by the Media Awareness Network in 2001, nearly 70 per cent of children say parents never sit with them while they surf the Net and more than half say parents never check where they‟ve been online. The states for TV habits paint a similar picture.A 2003 Canadian Teachers‟ Federation study of children‟s media habits found that roughly 30 per cent of children in Years Three to Six claim that no adult has input into their selection of TV shows; by Year Eight, the figure rises to about 60 per cent.“Research suggests that kids benefit more from having parents watch with them than having their viewing time limited,” says Graydon, noting that many children have TV sets in their bed-rooms, which effectively free them from parental supervision. And what exactly does “supervision”mean? “Rather than ridiculing your child‟s favorite show, game or web-site, which will only create distance between you, you can explain why certain media messages conflict with the values you‟d like to develop in your child,” Graydon says.If you‟re put off by coarse language in a TV show, tell your child that hearing such language sends the (false) message that this is the way most people communicate when under stress. If violence in a computer game disturbs you, point out that a steady diet of onscreen violence can weaken sensitivity towards real-life violence. “And when you do watch a show together,” adds Graydon, “discuss some of the hidden messages, both good and bad.”4.Say no without guiltI‟m not proud to admit it, but when Tara asked me if I could take her shopping, I ended up saying yes. More precisely, I told her that if she continued to work hard and do well in school, I would take her over the school holidays. The holidays have now passed and I still haven‟t taken her, but I have no doubt she‟ll remind me of it soon enough. When I do take her, I intend to set firm limits (both on the price and the clothing items) before we walk into the store.Still, I wonder why I gave in so quickly to Tara‟s request. Author Thompson says that my status as a baby boomer may provide a clue. “We boomer parents spring from a consumer culture in which having the right stuff helps you fit in,” she explains. “Our research has shown that even parents in poor homes will buy Game Boys over necessities.” In fact, 68 per cent of parents routinely give in to their kids‟ requests.To counteract this tendency, Graydon says parents have to “learn, or relearn, how to say no.”And what if the child calls you a miser or reminds you that her best friend has four Barbies (芭比娃娃) and she doesn‟t even have one? Graydon suggests practicing this mantra (祷文) :“We create our own family rules according to our own family values. We create our own family rules according to our own family values. We create …”5.Offer alternativesAs parents know, saying “You can‟t have that” only intensifies a kid‟s desire for whatever “that”is. Rather than arbitrarily restricting their TV or computer time to protect them from media influence, Jeff Derevensky, a professor of applied child psychology at McGill University, suggests creating a list of mutually acceptable alternatives. “If you want to encourage your children to build towers or play board games, be prepared to participate,” he says. “Many kids will do these activities with their parents but not with other kids.”Miranda Hughes, a part-time physician and mother of four, fills her home with such basics as colored pencils and paints, craft materials, board and card games, building toys, a piano with the lid permanently open, sheet music and books of all kinds. “I also offer my own time whenever possible,” she says. Although Hughes has a television in her house, “complete with 150 channels,”she says her kids watch only about an hour a week. “I haven‟t had to implement any rules about TV or computer use,” she says. “There‟s usually something else my kids would rather be doing.”11. According to Nathan Dungan, in teaching your child about money, the most important issue is______A) the way you spend your moneyB) the time children are allowed to watch TVC) the activities shared by you and your childrenD) the amount of money at the children‟s disposal12. What do we learn about Linda Millar from the passage?A) She is the mother of a six-year-old girl.B) She directs a non-profit organization.C) She owns 26 Canadian companies.D) She is a famous Canadian advertiser.13.

Shari Graydon noted that children may benefit more when .A) parents shared TV shows with them B) parents limited their viewing timeC) they had a TV in their own bedrooms D) they were free from parents‟ supervision16.

As medical evidence mounts that we are indeed what we eat, consuming a healthier diet has become almost a national passion in the United States. The food-for-fitness phenomenon began in the late‟70s when a U.S. Senate Committee on nutrition reached grim conclusion that six out of the ten leading causes of death --- such as heart disease, cancer, and stroke --- might be linked to diet. The government issued dietary guidelines advising Americans to eat a variety of foods, maintain proper weight, and limit intake of fat, salt, sugar, and alcohol.For most Americans, what to eat is a matter of personal choice, rather than one of supply. An excellent nationwide food distribution system assures that fresh produce is readily available in all parts of the country, regardless of the season. Taking advantage of this abundance(充足), many people are forsaking traditional meat-and-potatoes fare (饮食) in favor of lighter meals of salads, fruits, and vegetables.The single most dramatic change in the American diet has been a reduction in consumption of animal fat, which is thought to increase the risk of heart disease and may contribute to the high U.S. incidence of breast and colon cancer. Margarine (a fatty solid butter substitute) and vegetable oils have replaced butter and lard (i.e. white fat from pigs that is used in cooking) in many homes, and half of all milk now drunk in the United States is low-fat. Fish and poultry (i.e. birds such as chickens and ducks kept on farms in order to produce meat) are increasingly popular sources of protein as consumption of red meat declines. The food industry has responded to concern about fat by producing learner cuts of meat and cholesterol-free (不含胆固醇的) substitutes for eggs.One of the most significant trends in the American way of eating is the healthful change in restaurant food. “One of every two meals in the United States is eaten outside the home,” says Donna Watson, President of the American Dietetic Association. “Restaurants are making special efforts to provide low-fat, low-salt, and low-calorie items.”Salad bars, loaded with fresh greens and raw fruits and vegetables, are found everywhere, even alongside the burgers and French fries in fast-food restaurants.Most important, the focus on prudent diet has led to an unprecedented national quest for a healthier life style. Americans are smoking less, exercising more, and experimenting with new ways to conquer stress. Eating sensibly, they have discovered, is only one important route to good health.31. What is suggested in the guidelines by the US government?A) The whole nation should be on diet for health.B) Foods rich in fat should be limited in people‟s diet.C) Eating is obviously a matter of life and death.D) Having a variety of food helps people lose weight.32. What does the author say about the choice of food in the US?A) People have more choices when fruits and vegetables are in season.B) People prefer traditional foods to those that do not contain very much fat.C) People tend to choose salads because vegetables are more readily available.D) People can choose almost whatever they want thanks to the rich supply of food.33. What do people do to cut the consumption of animal fat according to the passage?A) They use vegetable oils instead of lard.B) They give up the use of butter in food preparation.C) The food industry produces low-fat milk only.D) They abandon the diet that contains meat.34. How do restaurants respond to people‟s pursuit of a healthier diet?A) They are negative toward the trend. B) They take positive action accordingly.C) They are indifferent to people‟s needs. D) They oversupply food made of vegetables.35. According to the passage, “prudent” (Line 1, Para 5) most probably means______.A) low-fat and protein-rich B) riskless C) sensible D) economicalPassage TwoQuestions 36 to 40 are based on the following passage.If you‟re a male and you are reading this, congratulations: you are a survivor. According to statistics, you‟re more than twice as likely to die of skin cancer as a woman, and nine times more likely to die of AIDS. Assuming you make it to the end of your natural term, about 78 years for men in Australia, you will die on average five years before a woman.There are many reasons for this-typically, men take more risks than women and are more likely to drink and smoke -but perhaps more importantly, men don‟t go to the doctor.“Men aren‟t seeing doctors as often as they should, ” says Dr. Gullotta. “This is particularly so for the over-40s, when diseas es tend to strike.”Gullotta says a healthy man should visit the doctor every year or two. For those over 45, it should be at least once a year.Two months ago Gullotta saw a 50-year-old man who had delayed doing anything about his smoker‟s cough for a yea r.“When I finally saw him it had already spread and he has since died from lung cancer,” he says. “Earlier detection and treatment may not have cured him, but it would have prolonged (延长) his life.”According to a recent survey, 95% of women aged between 15 and early 40s see a doctor once a year, compared to 70% of men in the same age group.“A lot of men think they are invincible（不可战胜的）,” Gullotta says. “They only come in when a friend drops dead on the golf course and they think, …Geez, if it could happen to him …‟”Then there is the ostrich approach. “Some men are scared of what might be there and would rather not know,” says Dr. Ross Cartmill.“Most men get their cars serviced more regularly than they servi ce their bodies,” Cartmill says. He believes most diseases that commonly affect men could be addressed by preventive check-ups.Regular check-ups for men would inevitably place strain on the public purse, Cartmill says. “But prevention is cheaper in the long run than having to treat the diseases. Besides, the ultimate cost is far greater: it is called premature death.”36. Why does the author congratulate his male readers at the beginning of the passage?A) They are more likely to survive serious diseases today.B) Their average life span has been considerably extended.C) They have lived long enough to read this article.D) They are sure to enjoy a longer and happier live.37. What does the author state is the most important reason men die five years earlier onaverage than women?A) Men drink and smoke much more than women.B) M en don‟t seek medical care as often as women.C) M en aren‟t as cautions as women in face of danger.D) Men are more likely to suffer from fatal diseases.38. Which of the following best completes the sentence “Geez, if it could happen tohim…”(line2, para,8)?A) it could happen to me, tooB) I should avoid playing golfC) I should consider myself luckyD) it would be a big misfortune39. W hat does Dr. Ross Cartmill mean by “the ostrich approach” (line 1, para.9)?A) A casual attitude towards one‟s health conditions.B) A new therapy for certain psychological problems.C) Refusal to get medical treatment for fear of the pain involved.D) U nwillingness to find out about one‟s disease because of fear.40. What does Cartmill say about regular check-ups for men?A) They may increase public expenses.B) They will save money in the long run.C) They may cause psychological strains on men.D) They will enable men to live as long as women.Part IV TranslationDirections: This part is to test your ability to translate Chinese into English.

This might be called laziness, but Dr. Kleitman has a new explanation. He has proved that everyone has a daily energy cycle. During the hours when you labor through your work you may say that you're "hot". That's true. The time of day when you feel most energetic is when your cycle of body temperature is at its peak. For some people the peak comes during the forenoon (午前). For others it comes in the afternoon or evening. No one has discovered why this is so, but it leads to such familiar monologues (独白) as: "Get up, John! You'll be late for work again!" The possible explanation to the trouble is that John is at his temperature-and-energy peak in the evening. Much family quarreling ends when husbands and wives realize what these energy cycles mean, and which cycle each member of the family has.You can't change your energy cycle, but you can learn to make your life fit it better. Habit can help, Dr. Kleitman believes. Maybe you're sleepy in the evening but feel you must stay up late anyway. Counteract (阻碍) your cycle to some extent by habitually staying up later than you want to. If your energy is low in the morning but you have an important job to do early in the day, rise before your usual hour. This won't change your cycle, but you'll get up steam and work better at your low point.Get off to a slow start which saves your energy. Get up with a leisurely yawn (呵欠) and stretch. Sit on the edge of the bed a minute before putting your feet on the floor. Whenever possible, do routine work in the afternoon and save tasks requiring more energy or concentration (专注) for your sharper hours.71. If a person finds getting up early a problem, most probably ______.A. he is a lazy personB. he refuses to follow his own energy cycleC. he is not sure when his energy is lowD. he is at his peak in the afternoon or evening72. Which of the following may lead to family quarrels according to the passage?A. Unawareness of energy cycles.B. Familiar monologues.C. A change in a family member's energy cycle.D. Attempts to control the energy cycle of other family members.73. If one wants to work more efficiently at his low point in the morning, he should ________.A. change his energy cycleB. overcome his lazinessC. wake up earlierD. go to bed earlier74. You are advised to rise with a yawn and stretch because it will ______.A. help to keep your energy for the day's workB. help you to gain steam for work early in the dayC. enable you to concentrate on your routine workD. keep your energy cycle under control all day75. When should you do routine work?A. During your sharpest hours.B. During the afternoon.C. Just after getting out of bed.D. When you have the most energy.Questions 76 to 80 are based on the same passage or dialog.In the early days of sea travel, seamen on long voyages lived exclusively on salted meat and biscuits. Many of them died of scurvy (坏血病), a blood disease which causes swollen gums, livid (铅色的) white spots on the flesh and general exhaustion. On one occasion, in 1535, an English ship arrived in Newfoundland with its crew seriously ill. The men's lives were saved by Iroquois Indians (易洛魁印第安人) who gave them vegetable leaves to eat. Gradually it came to be realized that scurvy was caused by something lacking in the sailors' diet. Captain Cook, on his long voyages of discovery to Australia and New Zealand, established the fact that scurvy could be warded off by the giving fresh fruit to the sailors.Nowadays it is understood that a diet which contains nothing harmful may yet result in serious diseases if certain important elements are missing. These elements are called "vitamins". Quite a number of such substances are known and they are given letters to identify them, A, B, C, D, and so on. Different diseases are associated with a lack of particular vitamins. Even a slight lack of Vitamin C, for example, the vitamin most plentiful in fresh fruit and vegetables, is thought to increase our chances of catching colds.The vitamins necessary for a healthy body are normally supplied by a good mixed diet, including a variety of fruit and green vegetables. It is only when people try to live on a very restricted diet, say, during the extended periods of religious fasting (斋戒), or when trying to lose weight, that it is necessary to supply the missing vitamins.76. Which of the following happens because of scurvy?A. People become hungry.B. People lose blood.C. People become livid.D. People feel pain in their gums.77. How would the sailors ward off scurvy on long trips?A. They took fresh fruit with them.B. They stopped in places to relax.C. They often found Indians to help.D. They ate vegetable leaves regularly.78. Which vitamin helps protect us against colds?A. Vitamin A.B. Vitamin B.C. Vitamin C.D. Vitamin D.79. What supplies all the vitamins we need to be healthy?A. Any one of the different sorts of green vegetables.B. Diets like those taken by religious people.C. Certain important elements known by letters.D. Mixed diets with different fruits and vegetables.80. When should people take vitamins?A. When wanting to be healthy.B. When joining a religion.C. When dieting to lose weight.D. When protecting against sickness.Questions 81 to 85 are based on the same passage or dialog.For most people learning to drive, the driving test arises ahead as a major barrier. It is also a general source of conversation whenever drivers are gathered together. There are probably more tall stories about the driving test than about any other motoring subjects; the most remarkable thing about those stories is the number of times the old ones appear again, years after they were first heard, in new and exaggerated forms.All driving examiners have had to pass a very strict selection process, followed by at least six weeks' training. In the course of this training the Department makes sure that their driving is of a consistently high standard.Driving test centers are chosen with equal care. It would be nice to have centers and examiners town by town. But this is just not possible, because the centers have to be at places where there is enough parking space for candidates (考生) and where there are enough test routes. Routes are carefully chosen to make sure that they are all roughly comparable-the proportion of right and left turns, hills, pedestrian (行人) crossings and so on. The object of all this is to make sure, as far as possible, that all candidates in the driving test have to cope with the same sort of conditions whether they take the test in New York or California.The work that examiners do in actually carrying out tests is checked continuously by supervising examiners. This is to make as sure as possible that every candidate for the driving test has a proper and equal chance of showing the examiner, in the words of the Regulations, "that he is competent to drive without danger to and with due consideration for other users of the road." This is all that the examiner is concerned with.81. It can be learned from the passage that _______.A. whenever people learning to drive get together, they often talk about the driving testB. new and exaggerated stories about the test are always appearingC. there are more tall stories about the driving test than any other subjectD. the same stories about the test reappear years later82. According to the passage, driving examiners _______.A. are trained for six weeks, then have a difficult selection interviewB. are given regular driving tests themselves by supervising examinersC. sometimes have more than six weeks' trainingD. are tested during the selection process to see if their driving is of a high standard83. There isn't a test center in every town because ________.A. some examiners can go to occasional centers from the permanent centersB. routes and conditions have to be the same everywhereC. there has to be enough parking space for the candidates and the examinersD. not every town could provide enough test routes close to permanent centers84. We can judge from this passage that ________.A. the detailed records are checked after each test by a supervising examinerB. sometimes candidates are tested by a supervising examinerC. it's true that some examiners never pass anyone on Thursday afternoonsD. examiners are only concerned with a candidate's ability to drive85. It can be inferred from this passage that ________.A. test routes have roughly the same conditions everywhereB. candidate drivers pass the testC. all candidates are treated equally by the examiners during the testD. some test centers do not have enough parking spacePart 1 Multiple Choice (每小题: 1 分; 满分：50 分)1.D2.A3.C4.D5.A6.B7.C8.C9.D 10.C11.A 12.B 13.A 14.B 15.D 16.B 17.D 18.A 19.A 20.D21.A 22.A 23.B 24.D 25.B 26.A 27.A 28.A 29.C 30.D31.D 32.B 33.D 34.C 35.A 36.A 37.B 38.D 39.C 40.C41.D 42.B 43.B 44.B 45.B 46.

The doctors told me this was almost certainly a type of cancer that was incurable, and that I would live no longer than three to six months. My doctor advised me to go home and get my affairs in order, which is my doctors‟ code for preparing yourself to die.I lived with that diagnosis all day. I was completely in despair. Later that evening, I had another examination and my wife told me that tumor turned to be curable with surgery. I had the surgery and I‟ m fine now.This was the closest I‟ve been to facing death. To tell the truth, no one wants to die. And yet death is the destination we all share. No one has ever escaped it. It clears out the old to make room for the new. Right now the new is you, but someday not too long from now, you will gradually become the old and be cleared away.Your time is so limited that you shouldn‟t waste it repeating someone else‟s life. Don‟ t be trapped by dogma（教条）—which is living with the results of other people‟ s thinking. Don‟t let thenoise of others‟ opinion s drown out your own inner voice. And most importantly, have the courage to follow your heart. It somehow already knows what you truly want to become. Everything else is secondary.56. The doctor advised the author to go home and get his affairs in order because ______.A. he had to rest at homeB. his disease couldn‟t be curedC. his disease was not serious at allD. he had to wait for the result of the test57. What does the author think of death?A. He thinks it is impossible to avoid.B. He thinks it is not the end of life.C. He thinks it is nothing to be scared of.D. He thinks it is the beginning of a new life.58. In the author‟s opinion, we should ______.A. follow others‟ adviceB. take no notice of diseasesC. take exercise and keep healthyD. have the courage to follow our heart59. What does the underlined word in paragraph 3 mean?A. came acrossB. dealt withC. survivedD. supportedBHolidays are really important. Many of us will have childhood memories of summer holidays where we were taken away from home to experience new environments and learn in different ways.But holidays are expensive and, for those on low wages or living on benefits, they are often unobtainable. Even the cheapest holidays require travel and other additional costs that are difficult for many families to meet.For working parents, the long summer break can be a very difficult problem for childcare. When an annual leave allowance amounts to only five weeks, there is a need to spread this across the year. Couples can find themselves taking leave in turn in order to care for children who are on holiday. For some this makes even an affordable family holiday difficult.The schools that I visit in Nottingham are full of experienced staff committed to giving our children a caring and inspiring learning environment. The number of children receiving free school meals is quite large in Nottingham and many schools have breakfast clubs to make sure that children get a healthy start to the day. Most schools undertake programs of group or individual educational support. Schools also have an important role in safeguarding children's welfare through the ongoing touch and support with their pupils. During the long summer holidays, much of this is missed.While teachers are holidaying in the UK, many of their pupils spend the whole six weeks on the street where they live. The lack of free school meals for six weeks can result in pressure on a family budget and an inability to afford the inspiring experiences that help children to continue theirlearning.In setting out its plans for a five-term year, Nottingham City Council (委员会)is seeking to reduce the summer holiday down to four and a half weeks, with a more balanced five terms of roughly eight weeks, each followed by a two-week break. We believe this will give real “down time" for school staff and pupils alike but will be short enough not to cause a real break in learning.We acknowledge that this change may be difficult for some school staff, particularly whose own children are educated in other authorities. However, this must be weighed against the benefits for city children for whom we all have the greatest duty of care.60. The passage is probably written by _ .A. an experienced teacherB. a working parentC. an inspired studentD. a city council member61. The underlined word "they" in the second paragraph refers to " ‟.A. environmentsB. wagesC.holidaysD. benefits62. The plans for a shorter summer holiday will help students______.A. obtain the cheapest holidays without additional costsB. benefit more from the caring and inspiring learning environmentC. get a chance to spend six weeks a term with teachers in schoolD. have more school days to receive free school meals63. It can be inferred from the passage that _______.A. working parents can enjoy a five-week break to care for their childrenB. the suggested plans for a five-term school year can hardly be carried outC. the long summer holiday gives teachers and students real "down time"D. some school staff will say “ No" to the plans for a shorter summer holidayCScientists in Mexico have just begun a new study of one of the world‟s biggest pyramids: the Pyramid of the Sun, north of Mexico City. They‟re putting lots of small, high-tech machines under the pyramid to try to unlock some of its secrets. For thousands of years, people have tried to uncover the secrets of the pyramids.The people who built the pyramids made lots of secret doors and rooms to stop robbers from finding the treasures inside. However, there always have been some smart thieves in history. Now, almost all of Egypt‟s pyramids have been robbed, including the Great Pyramid of Khufu, which is the largest pyramid in the world. It is the only one of the ancient wonders of the world that is still standing.In AD 820, an Arab king named Abdullah AL Manum got a group of workers to dig their way into the Great Pyramid and have a look. Inside the pyramid, they found three rooms—the Queen‟s Chamber, the Grand Gallery and the King‟s Chamber. But to their surprise, the men didn‟t find the treasures theywanted. The Queen‟s and King‟s Chambers were both empty! Where were the King‟s mummy and his treasures? Had someone already taken them away? The huge stone doors at the pyramid‟s entrance were still closed when AL Manum‟s men went inside. How had the thieves got in and out?Since then, many people have gone inside the Great Pyramid to have a look or to try to take things. But still, no other chambers or walkways have been found.In 2002, an American team made the most recent visit to the Great Pyramid. Scientists sent a robot into the pyramid, but they only found a mysterious locked stone door.64. The first two paragraphs were written to show that ____.A. ancient Egyptian emperors were cruelB. the Pyramid of the Sun is an unusual historic buildingC. construction workers led a hard life in ancient EgyptD. the secrets of the pyramids remain to be uncovered65. What is the purpose of making some secret doors to the pyramids? _______.A. To try to unlock some of its secretsB. To stop robbers from finding the treasures insideC. To refuse some visitors all over the world into itD. To tell the truth to the people in the future66. Which of the following is NOT true to the Great Pyramid of Khufu?A. It is the largest pyramid in the world.B. It is the only one of the ancient wonders that is still standing.C. Scientists found a mysterious locked stone door to the Great Pyramid.D. Ab dullah AL Manum took the King‟s mummy and his treasures away.67. What would be the best title for the text?A. The Pyramid of the SunB.Unlocking the Doors of History of the PyramidC. A Mysterious Locked Stone DoorD. The Great Pyramid of KhufuDLabor force is defined as being the total number of people who are available to work and earn income. This definition includes everyone who is employed or seeking paid employment, so it includes employers and the self-employed. Labor is one of the country's resources which can be combined with other resources to produce the goods and services wanted by the community.Although the size of the workforce depends a great deal on the size of the total population, thereare several other influences which also affect it. The age distribution (分布) of the total population has a very marked effect on the available workforce. If the population has a high proportion of very young people or of those too old to work, then the available workforce would be lower than if there were a balanced spread age distribution. If the population naturally grows rapidly, the number of births greatly exceeds (超出) the number of deaths then as a total population increases proportion of the workforce declines.Sometimes a population is described as aging which means that the birth rate is either falling or growing very slowly, and as people retire from the workforce there are insufficient numbers of young people entering it to replace those who are leaving it. In that situation the population is top-heavy with older people. So the percentage of the population in the workforce declines when there is either a rapid increase in births or a falling birth rate.The age distribution of the population has several important effects on the economy. If the population is aging and there is an increase in the number of people retiring without a corresponding increase in the number entering the workforce, this raises the problem of the ability of the economy to provide a reasonable level of social services to the retired group. If the aged are to be cared for in special homes, finance must be available for that purpose. If the size of the workforce is small relative to the total population, then the government tax revenue (税收) is relatively low and either the government has less money available to it or workforce members have to be taxed more heavily.68. In the passage “labor force” is defined as ______.A. people who are available to work and earn incomeB. self-employed people who have the ability to workC. people who are looking for an employmentD. employers who have created job opportunities69. From the second paragraph we can draw the conclusion that ______.A. a natural growth of population always leads to a balanced workforceB. a large population does not necessarily mean a higher proportion of workforceC. the larger the population is, the higher the proportion of the workforce will beD. the workforce will be lower if the population has a balanced age distribution70. When a population is said to be aging，______.A. there are more people retiring than those entering the workforceB. the birth rate in the area must be lower than that of death thereC. there should be an oversupply of the workforce membersD. there are more people entering the workforce than those retiringE根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。

Questions 71 to 75 are based on the same passage or dialog.Part 3 Reading Comprehension (Multiple Choice)(Each item: 2)Directions:Read the following passages carefully and choose the best answer from the four choices marked A, B, C and D.Elderly people respond best to a calm and unhurried environment. This is not always easy to provide as their behavior can sometimes be difficult to handle. If they get excited or upset then they may become more confused and more difficult to look after. Although sometimes it can be extremely difficult, it is best to be patient and not to get upset yourself. You should always encourage old people to do as much as possible for themselves but be ready to lend a helping hand when necessary.Failing memory makes it difficult for the person to recall all the basic kinds of information we take for granted. The obvious way to help in this situation is to supply the information that is missing and help them make sense of what is going on. You must use every opportunity to provide information but remember to keep it simple and direct."Good morning, Mother. This is Fiona, your daughter. It's eight o'clock, so if you get up now, we can have breakfast downstairs."When the elderly person makes confused statements, e.g. about going out to his or her old employment or visiting a dead relative, correct him in a calm matter-of-fact fashion: "You don't work in the office any more. You are retired now. Will you come and help me with the dishes?"We rely heavily on the information provided by signposts, clocks, and newspapers. These assist us to organize and direct our behavior. Confused old people need these aids all the time to compensate for their poor memory. Encourage them to use reminder boards or diaries for important coming events and label the contents of different boxes. Many other aids such as information cards, old photos, addresses or shopping lists could help in individual cases.71.When do elderly people respond best?A. When they are calm and unhurried.B. When people tell them to be calm and unhurried.C. When their environment is calm and unhurried.D. When others are calm and unhurried.72.What should you encourage old people to do?A. To do as little as possible.B. To do as much as they can.C. To help others when needed.D. To be patient and not get upset.73.How should we provide information to old people with failing memories?A. By being helpful.B. By being direct.C. By being sensitive.D. By being obvious.74.What is the purpose of information provided on such things as signposts?A. To help us organize and direct our behavior.B. To help us make use of newspapers.C. To help us correct other people.D. To help us understand statements.75.Besides diaries, what else can help old people remember significant coming events?A. Labels.B. Reminder boards.C. Information cards.D. Photos.Questions 76 to 80 are based on the same passage or dialog.Another example of the dangers of a restricted diet may be seen in the disease known as "beri-beri" (脚气病), which used to affect large numbers of Eastern peoples who lived mainly on rice. In the early years of the 20th century, a Dutch scientist named Eijkman was trying to discover the cause of beri-beri. At first he thought it was transmitted (传送) by a germ (细菌). He was working in a Japanese hospital, where the patients were fed on rice which had had the external husk (壳) removed from the grain, called "white rice." It was thought this would be easier for weak, sick people to digest.Eijkman thought his germ theory was confirmed when he noticed the chickens in the hospital yard, which were fed on scraps (碎片) from the patients' plates, were also showing signs of the disease. He then tried to isolate the germ he thought was causing the disease, but his experiments were interrupted by a hospital official, who ruled that the huskless polished rice was too good for chickens. The chickens should be fed cheap rice with the external covering still on the grain, called "brown rice."Eijkman noticed that the chickens began to recover on the new diet. He began to consider the possibility that eating brown rice somehow prevented or cured beri-beri—even that a lack of some ingredient in the husk might be the cause of the disease. Indeed this was the case. The element needed to prevent beri-beri was shortly afterwards isolated from rice husks and is now known as Vitamin B. The white rice, though more expensive, was keeping alive the disease the hospital was trying to cure.76.From the context, what do you think the author mentions in the paragraph that is just before this firstparagraph?A. One example of the importance of vitamins.B. One example of the benefits of eating healthy foods.C. One example of the dangers of a restricted diet.D.

Everyone in her family was there—her children, her grandchildren, and her new great-grandson, just one month old. Her whole family had come to celebrate the Harvest Moon Festival (节日).Two days after the Harvest Moon Festival, Yinlan died peacefully in her sleep. Her family was sad but at the same time grateful. They felt happy that they had been able to celebrate the Harvest Moon Festival with her one last time. Everyone said it was remarkable that Yinlan had died just two days after the holiday.Actually, the timing of Yinlan's death was not remarkable at all. Recently sociologists (社会学家) studied the death rate among elderly Chinese women in California. They discovered that the death rate drops 35 percent before the Harvest Moon Festival and then rises 35 percent. Sociologists believe that these changes in death rate show the mind's power over the body. The Harvest Moon Festival, when families gather, is important to elderly Chinese women. Apparently some women are able to postpone (推延) their deaths so that they can celebrate the festival one last time.The idea that people can postpone the time of their deaths is not new. Many families tell stories of a relative who held on to life until after an important event. The stories people tell, however, are just that: stories. They are not proof that people can postpone their deaths. The sociologists' work is important because the sociologists studied facts, not stories. The facts—the drop and rise in death rates—prove that people really can postpone their deaths.81.When did Yilan die?A. During the Harvest Moon Festival.B. Before going to sleep.C.
