They have alwayscomplained, more or less justly, that their parents are out of touch with modernways; that they are possessive and dominant; that they do not trust their childrento deal with crises; that they talk too much about certain problems — and that theyhave no sense of humour, at least in parent-child relationships.I think it is true that parents often underestimate their teenage children andalso forget how they themselves felt when young.Young people often irritate their parents with their choices in clothes andhairstyles, in entertainers and music. This is not their motive. They feel cut offfrom the adult world into which they have not yet been accepted. So they create aculture and society of their own. Then, if it turns out that their music or entertainers or vocabulary or clothes or hairstyles irritatetheir parents, this gives them additional enjoyment. They feel they are superior,at least in a small way, and that they are leaders in style and taste.Sometimes you are resistant and proud because you do not want your parents toapprove of what you do. If they did approve, it looks as if you are betraying yourown age group. But in that case, you are assuming that you are the underdog: youcan’t win but at least you can keep your honor. This is a passive way of lookingat things. It is natural enough after long years of childhood, when you werecompletely under your parents’ control. But it ignores the fact that you are nowbeginning to be responsible for yourself.If you plan to control your life, co-operation can be part of that plan. You can charm others, especially your parents, into doing things the way you want. You can impress others with your sense of responsibility and initiative, so that they will give you the authority to do what you want to do.31. The author is primarily addressing ________.A. parents of teenagersB. those who give advice to teenagersC. newspaper readersD. teenagers32. The first paragraph is mainly about________.A. the teenagers’ criticism of their parentsB. misunderstandings between teenagers and their parentsC. the dominance of the parents over their childrenD. the teenagers’ ability to deal with crises33. Teenagers tend to have strange clothes and hairstyles because they ________.A. want to show their existence by creating a culture of their ownB. have a strong desire to be leaders in style and tasteC. have no other way to enjoy themselves betterD. want to irritate their parents34. Teenagers do not want their parents to approve of whatever they do because they________.A. have already been accepted into the adult worldB. feel that they are superior in a small way to the adultsC. are not likely to win over the adultsD. have a desire to be independent35. To improve parent-child relationships, teenagers are advised to be ________.A. obedientB. co-operativeC. responsibleD. independentPassage 2The effects of long-distance running are psychologically uplifting. In a world full of tensions, cruelty and chaos, running helps reinforce the view that life is good and lead the runner to tranquility and harmony.Long-distance running helps a person forget pressing family problems as well as job-related annoyances. An example comes quickly to mind. One day I had a terrible fight with my landlady over some foolish incident. We screamed and yelled at each other. A few minutes later, I set out on my daily run. By the end of the first mile, the argument seemed like a bad dream. At the end of the second, the reason for it seemed trivial. By the end of the fourth mile, I was filled with feelings of remorse and forgiveness toward the landlady. I bought her a beautiful rose, which I gave her as soon as I stepped inside the house. All was quickly well again between us. Running has that kind of effect on most runners. It makes us feel benign and serene.Incorporating long-distance running into a daily routine will significantly change a runner’s life-style. After I had been running for some time I found that I had more energy and could do more. My days grew longer, because I seemed to need less sleep; what sleep I did get seemed more restful. My body became thinner, smoother, firmer. Running also produces a healthful feeling of pleasant excitement, which comes from adherence to a strict routine and the improved physical condition. So, running makes me feel good, about myself and about the world.There are other long-term effects of running which are beneficial. But what benefits running does offer me are already enough to make me addicted to the sport for the rest of my life.36. We can learn from the passage that the author’s attitude towards long-distance running is _________.A. indifferentB. popularC. positiveD. negative37. The meaning of “reinforce” in the first paragraph is probably ________.A. negateB. createC. criticizeD. strengthen38. The author gives his own example in the second paragraph to illustrate that________.A. it is foolish to quarrel with the landlordB. long-distance running helps you to forget your problems and annoyanceC. we should be friendly with othersD. long-distance running makes you stronger39. Why does long-distance running produce a healthful feeling of pleasant excitement?A. Because you adhere to a routine.B. Because your physical condition is improved.C. Because you meet less unpleasant things in your life.D. Both A and B40. What does the author mean by the last sentence of the passage?A. He will keep the good habit of long-distance running.B. He will ask his family to run with him.C. He will write an article about the benefit of running.D. He will search for other long-term effects of running for the rest of his life. Passage 3Scientists estimate that about 35,000 other objects, too small to detect with radar but detectable with powerful Earth-based telescopes, are also circling the Earth at an altitude of 200 to 700 miles. This debris poses little danger to us on the Earth, but since it is traveling at average relative speeds of six miles per second , it can severely damage expensive equipment in a collision. This threat was dramatized by a cavity one-eighth of an inch in diameter created in a window of a United States space shuttle in 1983. The pit was determined to have been caused by a collision with a speck of paint traveling at a speed of about two to four miles per second. The window had to be replaced.As more and more nations put satellites into space, the risk of collision can only increase. Measures are already being taken to control the growth of orbital debris. The United States has always required its astronauts to bag their wastes and return them to Earth. The United States Air Force has agreed to conduct low-altitude rather than high-altitude tests of objects it puts into space so debris from tests will reenter the Earth's atmosphere and burn up. Extra shielding will also reduce the risk of damage. For example, 2,000 pounds of additional shielding is being considered for each of six space-station crew modules. Further, the European Space Agency, an international consortium, is also looking into preventive measures.41. It can be inferred from the passage that debris was harmful to one of the space shuttles because the debris was________.A. largeB. moving very fastC. radioactiveD. burning uncontrollably42. What effect did orbital debris have on one of the space shuttles?A. It removed some of the paintB. It damaged one of the windowsC. It caused a loss of altitudeD. It led to a collision with a space station43. The word “them”in the second paragraph (Line 4) refers to which of the following?.A. AstronautsB. WastesC. TestsD. Crew modules44. Which of the following questions is NOT answered by the information in the passage? .A. How can small objects orbiting the Earth be seenB. What is being done to prevent orbital debris from increasingC. Why is the risk of damage to space equipment likely to increaseD. When did the United States Air Force begin making tests in space45. What are the main points included in the second paragraph?A. More and more nations put satellites into space.B. The space race is a waste of money.C. Orbital debris will reduce the risk of damage.D. Measures are being taken for protecting spacing vehicles against damage by space debris.Part 3 ClozeIt's never easy to admit you are in the 1 . 2 human, we all need to know the art of apologizing. Look 3 with honesty and think how 4 you've judged roughly, said unkind things, pushed yourself ahead at the 5 of a friend. Then count the 6 when you indicated clearly and truly that you were sorry. A bit frightening, isn't it? Frightening because some deep wisdom in us knows that when even a small wrong has been committed, some mysterious moral feeling is disturbed, and it strays out of 7 until fault is acknowledged and regret expressed.I remember a doctor friend, the late Clarence Lieb, telling me about a man who came to him 8 a variety of signs: headaches, insomnia (失眠) and stomach trouble. No physical 9 could be found. Finally Dr. Lieb said to the man, “Unless you tell me what’ s 10 you, I can’t help you.”After some hesitation, the man 11 that, as executor ( 指定遗嘱执行人) of his father’s will, he had been cheating his brother, who lived abroad, of his inheritance. 12 and there the wise old doctor made the man write to his brother asking for forgiveness and 13 a cheque as the first 14 in restoring their good relation. He then went with him to the mailbox in the corridor. As the letter disappeared, the man burst into tears. “Thank you,”he said, “I think I’m 15 .”And he 16 .A heartfelt apology can not only heal 17 relationship but also make it stronger. If you can think of 18 who 19 an apology from you, someone you have 20 , or judged too roughly, or just neglected, do something about it right now.1. (A) wrong (B) false C) falsity (D) mistake2.

In today’s material world, making money or becoming wealthy symbolizes a person’s success and capability. Many people just make every effort, pay any price to attain greater wealth. With money, they can buy nice, large apartments in nice neighborhood; with money, they can own stately luxury cars. Wealth seems to bring all happiness in life.In my opinion, people cannot do anything without money, but money is not everything. What money will bring you depends on your personal belief and goal in life. If you are kind enough to help others, especially the poor, money is a good thing to you. By using money you can do much more for the benefit of people and your country, and it will bring you your own happiness. If you make money just for your own needs, you’ll never be satisfied or happy.In a word, you should have money spent for more people. Only then can money be the source of your happiness.试题二Ⅰ Vocabulary and Structure (30%)Directions: This section is to test the use of vocabulary and structure. There are20 incomplete sentences in it.

You should read the given materials carefully and make thecorrect choice ,then write the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet.Passage OneFax (facsimile) machines use the telephone network to transmit, within a few seconds, any form of printed, typed or handwritten matter, drawings, diagrams or photographs from one location to another.Replicas of documents can be sent any distance with complete accuracy by combining the speed of the telephone with reproduction facility of the office copier. Equipment of the same type has to be in use at both the sending and receiving ends.Operation of the equipment is simple and in the more sophisticated models loading is automatic; the originals to be transmitted are stacked in a loading tray and, after making telephone contact with the recipient, the operator presses the start button and the copies are reproduced automatically at the recipient’s machine. Copies can also be transmitted automatically without using the service of an operator, an important advantage over telex is that the input material does not have to betyped and checked, and complicated, detailed orders and other business documents can be sent with complete accuracy. Other applications for this equipment include the distribution of technical drawings or branches; gaining access to records stored centrally at a head office; and transmitting advertisement copy to printers.31.Fax is ______ for facsimile.A. a compoundB. a complexC. an abbreviationD. derivative32.Fax machines use the ______ network to transmit.A.

In countries where status is important, it is not advisable to invite people of different statuses to the same dinner party. Americans will often invite people to their homes. However in some societies the home is considered too private, unworthy, or too small to serve as a proper place for business entertaining. In some countries there is a “help yourself” method of entertaining done in the home. This method does not work well when entertaining people whose culture teaches them to wait to be asked three times before accepting an offer of food. In one instance, a Chinese guest went hungry all the evening without eating though he was quite hungry because he was too shy to take food after only being asked to do so once. In another case, an American woman executive（负责人）was being entertained in London. After having the tea served, the American woman helped herself to cream and sugar rather than waiting to be served. The English hostess was upset by the thought that she was not serving quickly enough.As a general rule, a small gift from your home country is OK.A gift that is tied to the particular interest of the person is especially good. Gifts for children are also well received. Be careful that the “hometown” gift you are bringing to Singapore was not made in Hong Kong. Because many gifts carry symbolic meanings, it is always best to seek the advice of a cultural information before selecting gifts. The giving of largegifts, or payments for special service, should only be carried out after talking with legal department in the home and host culture.1. It is no good inviting people of different social positions to the same party in the country where______.A. people don’t pay any attention to your positionsB. people care much about their statusesC. entertainment is importantD. entertainment is not advisable2. The Chinese guest is taken for an example to show ______.A. that offering food should not be made too earlyB. a “help yourself” method does work well in this caseC. that accepting an offer of food should be made laterD. a “help yourself” method does not work well in some cases3. The passage infers that American women like ______.A. a “help yourself” methodB. waiting to be servedC. a slow serviceD. cream and sugarBIf you have been joining in chat room conversations, or trading email with web pals （网友）,you have become one of the millions who write in a peculiarly short form of English.And you’ve got a sense of humor about short forms like SOHF （= sense of humor failure）to describe Internet newcomers who don’t understand you.Across the globe, every night teenagers and their elders are talking online, many of them all talking at the same time.It’s fast: try talking to six people at once. It’s brief: three or four wo rds per exchange. It takes wit, concentration, and quick fingers.And it requires tremendous linguistic economy. There’s neither time nor spacefor explanations. Why consume precious key-strokes telling six friends you have to leave for a moment to take care of your little brother when BRB（= be right back）will do?Want to enter a conversation? Just type PMFJI （= pardon me for jumping in）.Interested in whom you are talking to? Type A/S/L, the nearly universal request to know your pal’s age, sex and location. You may get 15/M/NY as a response from your pal.If something makes you laugh, say you are OTF （= on the floor）,or LOL （= laughing out loud）,or combing the two into ROTFL （= rolling on the floor laughing）.And when it is time to get back to work or go to bed, you type GTG （= got to go）or TTYL （=talk to you later）.People want to write as fast as possible, and they want to get their ideas across as quickly as they can. Capital letters are left in the dust, except when expressing emotion, as it takes, more time to hold down the “shift”key and capitals. Punctuation （标点）is going, too.4.

Short-range goals are those that usually deal with current activities, which we can apply on a daily basis. Such goals can be achieved in a week or less or two weeks, or possible months. It should be remembered that just as a building is no stronger than its foundation, out long-term goals cannot amount to very munch without the achievement of solid short-term goals. Upon completing our short-term goals, we should date the occasion and then add new short-term goals that will build on those that have been completed.The intermediate goals build on the foundation of the short-range goals. They might deal with just one term of school or the entire school year, or they could even extend for several years. Any time you move a step at a time, you should never allow yourself to become discouraged or overwhelmed. As you complete each step, you will enforce the belief in your ability to grow and succeed. And as your list of completion dates grow, your motivation and desire will increase.Long-range goals may be related to our dreams of the future. They might cover five years or more. Life is not a static thing. We should never allow a long-term goal to limit us or our course of action.8.

A(1) There are great excitement on the plant of Venue this week. For the first time Venusian scientists managed to land a satellite on the plant Earth, and it has been sending back signals as well as photographs ever since.The satellite was directed into an area known as Manhattan (named after the great Venuesian astronomer Prof. Manhattan, who first discovered it with his telescope 20,000 light years ago).Because of excellent weather conditions and extremely strong signals, Venusian scientist were able to get valuable information as to the feasibility of a manned flying saucer landing on Earth. A press conference was held at the Venus Institute of Technology.(2) Then Brunswick was 10 miles, and then five. Then, suddenly, all of the young people were up out of their seats, screaming and shouting and crying, doing small dances of joy. All except Vingo.Vingo sat there stunned, looking at the oak tree. It was covered with yellow handkerchiefs-20of them, 30 of them, maybe hundreds, a tree that stood like a banner of welcome billowing in the wind. As the young people shouted, the old con slowly rose from his seat and made his way to the front of the bus to go home.B(3) The American does not join in the argument but watches the other guests. As he looks, he sees a strange expression come over the face of the hostess. She is staring straight ahead, her muscles contracting slightly. She motions to he native boy standing behind her chair and whispers something to him. The boy’s eyes widen: he quickly leaves the room.Of the guests, none except the American notices this or sees the boy place a bowl of milk on the veranda just outside the open doors.The American comes to with a start. In India, milk in a bowl means only one thing-bait for a snake. He realizes there must be a cobra in the room.(4) Jefferson’s courage and idealism were based on knowledge. He probablyknew more than any other man of his age. He was an expert in agriculture, archeology, and medicine. He practiced crop rotation and soil conservation a century before these became standard practice, and he invented a plow superior to any other in existence. He influenced architecture throughout American, and he was constantly producing devices for making the tasks of ordinary life easier to perform.Of all Jefferson’s many talents, one in central. He was above all a good and tireless writer. His complete works, now being published for the first time, will fill more than fifty volumes. His talent as an author was soon discovered and when the time came to write the Declaration of Independence at Philadelphia in 1776, the task of writing it was his. Millions have thrilled to his words: “We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal…..”C(5) While I was waiting to enter university, I saw advertised in a local newspaper a teaching post at a school in a suburb of London about ten miles from where I lived. Being very short of money and wanting to do something useful, I applied, fearing as I did so, that without a degree and with no experience n teaching my chances of getting the job were slim.However, three days later a letter arrived, asking me to go to Croydon for an interview. It proved an awkward journey: a train to Croydon station; a ten-minute bus ride and then a walk of at least a quarter of a mile. As a result I arrived on a hot June morning too depressed to feel nervous.(6) As a boy and then as an adult, I never lost my wonder at the personality that was Einstein. He was the only person I know who had come to terms with himself and the world around him. He knew what he wanted only this: to understand within his limits as a human being the nature of the universe and the logic and simplicity in its functioning. He knew there were answers beyond his intellectual reach. But this did not frustrate him. He was content to go as far as he could.In the 23 years of our friendship, I never saw him show jealousy, vanity, bitterness, anger, resentment, or personal ambition. He seemed immune to these emotions. He was beyond any pretension. Although he corresponded with many of the world’s most important people, his stationery carried only a watermark-W-for Woolworth’s.(7) And she didn’t just talk. She has been a driving force in the community organization BUILD (Baltimore United in Leadership Development). Together they drove drug dealers off a vacant lot and built a playground. They established an extended-day program at school to keep kids off the streets. They prompted the city and local churches to step up efforts to redevelop abandoned houses.Not long ago, Armstead ran into one of the men who used to hang out on her steps. “Hey, Mom!”he exploded, giving her a hug.

Passage OneBy the Treaty of Paris of 1763, which ended the war with the French and the Indians, England g ained possession of Canada and all the territory east of the Mississippi River. French influence on this continent thus came to an end; England now controlled most of North America. But the war had been long and expensive. England had many debts. George III, king of England, afterconsulting with his advisers,decided that the American colonists(殖民者) should help pay some of the expenses of this war.A standing English army of 10,000 men had been left in the colonies(殖民地) for protection against the Indians. The English government also felt that the colonists should share in the expenses of maintaining this army. The result was a series of measures, the Grenville Program, passed by Parliament and designed to raise money in the colonies. Some of these measures were accepted by the colonists, but one in particular, the Stamp Act, was met with great protest. The Stamp Act required that stamps, ranging in price from a few cents to almost a dollar, be placed on all newspapers, advertisements, bills of sale, wills, legal papers, etc. The Stamp Act was one of the causes of the American Revolution. It affected everyone, rich and poor alike. Some businessmen felt that the act would surely ruin their businesses.Of all the voices raised in protest to the Stamp Act, none had greater effect than that of a young lawyer from Virginia -Patrick Henry. Henry had only recently been elected to the Virginia Assembly. Yet when the Stamp Act came up for discussion, he opposed it almost single-handedly. He also expressed, for the first time, certain ideas that were held by many Americans of the time but that never before had been stated so openly. "Is life so dear or peace so sweet, as to be bought at the price of chains and slavery? Forbid it, Almighty(万能的) God! I know not what course others may take, but as for me, give me liberty, or give me death!" 1.From the text we learn that ___________________. A 、Britain took over Canada from the Indians in 1763B 、there had been a war between the French and the Indians which ended in 1763C 、France used to have control of Canada and some areas east of the Mississippi RiverD 、the French still kept some influence in North America through the Treaty of Paris 2.The Grenville Program refers to ___________________. A 、King George III’s plan to gather money in North AmericaB 、the British government’s desire to raise money in North AmericaC 、a plan to share the expenses of maintaining an army in the American coloniesD 、a decision of the British Parliament to collect money in the American colonies 3.The Stamp Act ___________________.A 、was an act about selling stamps at prices from a few cents to almost a dollarB 、required that all commercial and legal documents in America have stamps on themC 、was the main cause of the American RevolutionD 、chiefly affected business people who felt it would ruin their businesses 4.From the text we learn that Patrick Henry ___________________. A 、had been a member of the Virginia Assembly for a long timeB 、didn’t know what courses to take to complete his studies as a lawyerC 、was almost the only one who openly protested against the Stamp ActD 、didn’t value life or peace as much as other people did 5.This passage is mainly about ___________________.专业： 年级： 学生姓名： ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ---------------------------------------------------------A 、one of the events leading to the American RevolutionB 、the Treaty of Paris between Britain and FranceC 、the Grenville Program to raise money in the American coloniesD 、Patrick Henry, a hero who opposed the Stamp Act Passage TwoA number of recent books have reworked subjects, forms and writing techniques. Today’s children read stories about divorce, death, drugs, air pollution, political extremism and violence. Relying on the magic of the illustrator, all kinds of books are being published.Before they know to read, babies can play with books made of cloth or books made to take in the bath. Later on, they are given picture books that may be cubical(立 方形的)or triangular, outsized or very small. They also like work-books which come with watercolors and paintbrushes, and comic books(漫画册)filled with details where they have to spot a figure hidden among thousands of others. Not that the traditional child ren’s books are being neglected. There are still storybooks where the pages pop up(跳起)when they are opened, to make a forest or a castle. Among the latest ideas are interactive stories where readers choose the plot(情节)or ending they want, and books on CD, which are very popular in rich industrialized countries.The public has enthusiastically greeted the wealth of creativity displayed by publishers. "Previously, giving a child a book as often seen as improper," says Canadian author Marie-France Hebért. Her books, published by a French-language publisher, sell like hot cakes in hundreds of thousands of copies. "There’s a real appetite for reading these days and I try to get across to childr -en the passion for reading which is food for the mind and the heart, like a medicine or a vitamin." 1."Reworked" as used in Paragraph 1 means "________________". A 、reworded B 、rewritten C 、processed D 、revised2.In the second paragraph the author lists the kinds of books ____________.A 、recently publishedB 、of various shapesC 、babies likeD 、popular among children 3.Which of the following statements is true? ____________. A 、Books made of cloth came out earlier than picture books. B 、When you buy work-books you will be given free comic books. C 、Traditional children’s books are not being removed from market. D 、Babies cannot have books while taking a bath.4.The expression "get across to children" in the last paragraph probably means "___________". A 、pass on to children B 、make children believe C 、teach children D 、get around to children5.The main idea of the last paragraph is that people have ___________________. A 、warmly welcomed the abundance of wealth shown by publishers B 、warmly welcomed the enormous amount of creativity shown by publishers C 、showed great enthusiasm in publishers of treat wealty D 、reacted strongly to the unlimited creativity of publishers Ⅴ.Please translate these sentences into Chinese(15%).1. Do not treat all new words in exactly the same way. Have you ever complained about your memory because you find it simply impossible to memorize all the new words you are learning?2. The next night, the blackest he had ever known, the sea became so rough that the boat almost turned over. Food, clothes, and broken glass were all mixed together.3. The cheque fluttered to the floor like a bird with a broken wing. Slowly the old lady stooped to pick it up.4. I would like to propose that for sixty to ninety minutes each evening, right after the early evening news, all television broadcasting in the United States be prohibited by law.5. When I was fifteen, I announced to my English class that I was going to write and illustrate my own books. Half the students sneered, the rest nearly fell out of their chairs laughing.Ⅵ.Please translate these sentences into English(15%).1.史密斯太太对我抱怨说，她经常发现与自己十六岁的女儿简直无法沟通。

）Part ⅡReading Comprehension (Skimming and Scanning) (15 minutes)Directions:In this part, you will have 15 minutes to go over the passage quickly and answer the questions on Answer Sheet 1. 10*1’=10’For questions 1-7, markY (for YES) if the statement agrees with the information given in the passage;N (for NO) if the statement contradicts the information given in the passage;NG (for NOT GIVEN) if the information is not given in the passage.For questions 8-10, complete the sentences with the information given in the passage.SpidersSpiders can be distinguished from other Arachnids because the prosoma (combined head and thorax) is only separated from the opisthosoma (abdomen) by a narrow waist, in other Arachnids the whole body appears to be much more of a single unit. All spiders produce silk, but only some construct webs to catch their homes and to protect their eggs.All spiders possess poison glands but very few of them are dangerous to humans, of the 600+species in Britain only 12 (at least one of these is a recent human assisted colonist) are strong enough to pierce the human skin, and apart from allergies, none are more dangerous than a common wasp. Most spiders have 8 eyes (though some have 6,4,2 or 0), as well as 8 legs. (by the way if you count the claws as separate leg section [which you shouldn’t really] then their legs have 8 parts as well [coxa, trochanter, femur, patella, tibia, tarsus, metatarus, claws]) There are more than 32000 known species of spider in the world. No human being has ever been officially recorder as having died as the result of a ‘tarantula’ bite.All spiders are carnivorous and feed only on liquids, i. e. their preys natural juices and thebreakdown products of external digestion (meaning they spit, exude or inject digestive juices onto/into their prey ad suck up the resulting soup). So why not invite some to your next social do?What’s In a NameThe word ‘Arachnida’ comes from the Greek word ‘Arachne’ who was the daughter of Idmon of Colophon in Lydia, a dyer by trade. Arachne herself was a weaver, the best in all the known world. However in a foolish moment she challenged Athene, the daughter of Zeus and goddess of, among other things, waving to a weaving competition. Arachne wove so perfect a cloth that she tore it to shreds. Arachne became depressed after this and in the end she hung herself. Athene stirred to remorse at the knowledge of what her anger had wrought turned the rope Arachne had used to hang herself into a web and Arachne herself into a spider so that the beauty of her spinning should not be lost to the world ever again.The Great Household Spider SafariThere are just over six hundred different sorts of spider in the British Isles. But of these only a handful are commonly found in houses. At the front of the head are a pair of what appear to be small legs. These are called palps and are used to guide food to the spider’s mouth. The front of the head also has a group of six or eight eyes. On the underside of the body at the rear, are four or six small conical bumps or cylinders. There are the spinnerets from which the spider produces the silk to make its webs.Telling male and female spiders apart is easily done by looking at their palps. Males have swollen ends to their palps which makes them look as if they are wearing boxing gloves, these are often strange shapes if looked at with a hand lens. Females have normal looking palps that are not swollen at the ends.The largest spider is the Goliath spider, the female of which grows to reach a leg span of ten inches. The largest spider in Britain is the Cardinal spider which is a close cousin of Tim Tegenaria. Females can achieve a leg span of four and a half inches. It is known as the Cardinal spider as it was common in Hampton Court when Cardinal Wolsey lived there. The sight of these long legged spiders wandering around the palace at night used to frighten him. So far 32000 different kinds of spider have been discovered from all over the world. Britain has 630 different kinds of spider of which 250 are tiny Money spiders. The smallest of which has a body less than one millimeter long.1. All the silk produced by spiders construct webs to catch their food2. Not all the poison glands possessed by spiders are dangerous to human beings.3. Spiders often kill humans in Britain when they pierce human skin.4. After seeing her enemy commits suicide, Arachne turned Athena into a spider.5. TimTegenaria spiders are closely related to tarantula spiders; both are found in Britain.6. So far32000 different kinds of spiders have been discovered from all over the world.7. Money spiders are the smallest spiders found in the Arachnids family.8. There are more than_________ known species of spider in the world.9.

For each of them there are four suggested choices markedA), B), C), and D). You should decide on the best choice and mark thecorresponding letter on Answer Sheet 2 with a single line through the center. Passage oneConsumers are being confused and misled by the hodge-podge (大杂烩) of environmental claims made by household products, according to a “green labeling” study published by Consumers International Friday .Among the report’s more outrageous (令人无法容忍的) findings-a German fertilizer described itself as “ earthworm friendly” a brand of flour said it was “non-polluting” and a British toilet paper claimed to be “environmentally friendlier”The study was written and researched by Britain’s National Consumer Council (NCC) for lobby group Consumer International. It was funded by the German and Dutch governments and the European Commission.“ While many good and useful claims are being made , it is clear there is a long way to go in ensuring shoppers are adequately informed about the environmental impact of products they buy,” said Consumers International director Anna Fielder .The 10-country study surveyed product packaging in Britain. Western Europe, Scandinavia and the United States. It found that products sold in Germany and the United Kingdom made the most environmental claims on average.The report focused on claims made by specific products , such as detergent (洗涤剂) insect sprays and by some garden products . It did not test the claims, but compared them to labeling guidelines set by the International Standards Organization (ISO) in September ,1999.Researchers documented claims of environmental friendliness made by about 2,000 products and found many too vague or too misleading to meet ISO standards.“Many products had specially-designed labels to make them seem environmentally friendly , but in fact many of these symbols mean nothing ,” said report researcher Philip Page .“Laundry detergents made the most number of claims with 158. Household cleaners were second with 145 separate claims . while paints were third on our list with 73 .The high numbers show how very confusing it must be for consumers to sort the true from the misleading .” he said .The ISO labeling standards ban vague or misleading claims on product packaging , because terms such as “environmentally friendly” and “non-polluting” cannot be verified . “ what we are now pushing for is to have mult inational corporations meet the standards set by the ISO .” said Page.41. According to the passage, the NCC found it outrageous that ______A) all the products surveyed claim to meet ISO standardsB) the claims made by products are often unclear or deceivingC) consumers would believe many of the manufactures’ claimD) few products actually prove to be environment friendly42. As indicated in this passage , with so many good claims , the consumers _____A) are becoming more cautious about the products they are going to buyB) are still not willing to pay more for products with green labelingC) are becoming more aware of the effects different products have on the environmentD) still do not know the exact impact of different products on the environment43. A study was carried out by Britain’s NCC to _______A) find out how many claims made by products fail to meet environmental standardsB) inform the consumers of the environmental impact of the products they buyC) examine claims made by products against ISO standardsD) revise the guidelines set by the International Standards Organization44. What is one of the consequences caused by the many claims of household products?A) They are likely to lead to serious environmental problemsB) Consumers find it difficult to tell the true from the falseC) They could arouse widespread anger among consumerD) Consumers will be tempted to buy products they don’t need45. It can be inferred from the passage that the lobby group Consumer International wants to_______.A) make product labeling satisfy ISO requirementsB) see all household products meet environmental standardsC) warn consumers of the danger of so-called green productsD) verify the efforts of non-polluting productsPassage twoTwo hours from the tall buildings of Manhattan and Philadelphia live some of the world’s largest black bears . They are in northern Pennsylvania’s Pocono Mountains, a home they share with an abundance of other wildlife .The streams , lakes , meadows (草地) , mountain ridges and forests that make the Poconos an ideal place for black bears have also attracted more people to the region . Open spaces are threatened by plans for housing estates and important habitats (栖息地) are endangered by highway construction . To protect the Poconos’ natural beauty from irresponsible development. The Nature Conservancy (大自然保护协会) named the area one of America’s “Last Great Places”Operating out of a century-old schoolhouse in the village of Long Pond, Pennsylvania, the conser vancy’s bud Cook is working with local people and business leaders to balance economic growth with environmental protection. By forging partnerships with people like Francis Altemose, the Conservancy has been able to protect more than 14,000 acres of environmentally important land in the area.Altemose’s family has farmed in the Pocono area for generations. Two years ago Francis worked with the Conservancy to include his farm in a county farmland protection program. As a result, his family’s land can be pr otected from development and the Altemoses will be better able to providea secure financial future for their 7-year-old grandson .Cook attributes the Conservancy’s success in the Poconos to having a local presence and a commitment to working with local residents“The key to protecting these remarkable lands is connecting with the local community,” Cook said. “The people who live there respect the land. They value quite forests, clear streams and abundant wildlife. They are eager to help with conservation effort.For more information on how you can help The Nature Conservancy protect the Poconos and the world’s other “Last Great Places,” please call 1-888-564 6864. or visit us on the World Wide Web at .46. The purpose in naming the Poconos as one of America’s “ Last Great Places “ is to ________A) gain support from the local communityB) protect it from irresponsible developmentC) make it a better home for black bearsD) provide financial security for future generations47. We learn from the passage that _______A) the population in the Pocono area is growingB) wildlife in the Pocono area is dying out rapidlyC) the security of the Pocono residents is being threatenedD) farmlands in the Pocono area are shrinking fast48. What is important in protecting the Poconos according to Cook?A) The setting up of an environmental protection websiteB) Support from organizations like The Nature ConservancyC) Cooperation with the local residents and business leadersD) Inclusion of farmla nds in the region’s protection program49. What does Bud Cook mean by “having a local presence “ (Line 1, Para. 5)?A) Financial contributions from local business leadersB) Consideration of the interests of the local residentsC) The establishment of a wildlife protection foundation in the areaD) The setting up of a local Nature Conservancy branch in the Pocono area50.

You should choosethe ONE that best fits into the passage. Then mark the corresponding letter onAnswer Sheet 2 with a single line through the center. 0.5’*20=10’Who talks more, women or men? The seemingly contradictory evidence is reconciled (和解) by the difference between what I call public and (51) speaking. More men feel (52) by doing “public speaking”, (53) more women feel comfortable doing “private” speaking. Another way of (54) these differences is by using the terms report-talk and rapport(和谐，和善)-talk.For most women, the language of conversation is (55) a language of rapport: a way of (56) connections and negotiating (57). Emphasis is placed on displaying similarities and matching experiences. From childhood, girls criticize peers (58) try to stand out or appear better than others. People feel their (59) connections at home, or in settings (60) they feel at home with one or a few people they feel close to and comfortable with，(61), during private speaking. But even the most public situations can be (62) like private speaking.For most men, talk is primarily a (63) to preserve independence and negotiate and (64) status in a hierarchical（等级的）social order. This is done by (65) knowledge and skill, and by holding center stage through verbal performance (66) storytelling, joking, or imparting （给予，传授）information. From childhood, men learn to use talking (67) a way to get and keep attention. So they are more comfortable speaking in (68) groups made up of people they know less well, in the broadest (69), “public speaking”. But even the most private situations can be approached like public speaking, more like giving a (70) than establishing rapport.51. A. obvious B. pirate C. private D. apparent52.

One can suggest thatstudents should spend two or three years in an English- speaking country which amountsto washing one’s hands of them. Few students have the time or the money to do that.2. The authors wish you to read it with a pencil in your hand, for you will often be askedto make certain notations to write answers to particular questions. The more you useyour pencil, the more deeply you will become involved, and the deeper your involvementthe more this book will help you. We shall occasionally ask you to use your voice as wellas your pencil- to say things out loud. You see, we really want you to keep up a running conversation with us.3. Come to this book every day. Put the volume by your bedside, if you like. A short time spent on these pages before you turn the lights out each night is better than an irregular hour now and then.

More than three centuries ago a handful of pioneers crossed the ocean to Jamestown and Plymouth in search of freedoms they were unable to find in their own countries, the freedoms we still cherish today: freedom from want, freedom from fear, freedom of speech, freedom of religion. Today the descendants of the early settlers, and those who have joined the since, are fighting to protect these freedoms at home and throughout the world.5.And yet there is a fifth freedom- basic to those four- that we are in danger of losing: the freedom to be one’s best. St. Exupery describes a ragged, sensitive- faced Arab child, haunting the streets of a North African town, as a lost Mozart: he would never be trained or developed. Was he free? “No one grasped you by the shoulder while there was still time,6. A young girl who has an image of herself as the sort of person nobody likes, will find indeed that she is avoided at the school dance. She literally invites rejection. Her woebegone expression, her hang dog manner, her over anxiousness to please, or perhaps her unconscious hostility towards those she anticipates will affront her- all act to drive away those whom she would attract. In the same manner, a salesman or a businessman will also find that his actual experiences tend to “prove” his self- image is correct.IV.Reading Comprehension.(20)Psychiatric tests show that a well- balanced person gets much angrier when offended than an abnormal person does. As the New York State Psychiatric Institute, Dr. James Page and Professor of Psychology Carney Landis of Columbia University studied the reaction of 210 abnormal persons. They tested their reactions to annoying situations of every type and variety such as: being laughed at, being repeatedly disconnected on the telephone, accidentally hitting their thumb with a hammer, being worked on by a backseat driver, being told “shut up” and mind their own business, discovering someone cheating I a friendly card game, etc, in almost every instance the anger reaction of the normal group was much more intense, than that of the abnormal one.“This,” they reported, “is agreeing with other psychiatric findings. For one of the outstanding symptoms of mental unbalance is lack of emotion.” So if you blow your top when you hit your head against a piece of furniture, or when your girlfriend goes out with another young man- don’t worry about it. It’s just a sign that you’re normal.1.The passage mainly deals withA.The reactions of abnormal persons to annoying situations.B.Emotional reactions shown by normal and abnormal persons.C.The level of anger reactions shown by well- balanced persons.D.Psychiatric studies of different types of anger reactions.2.The author suggests that if you feel angry at something offensive, youshould________.A.Try to control your anger.B.Not cover up your feelings.C.Not worry about what has made you angry.D.Take it as a normal reaction.3.From the context, the phrase “blow your top” p robably means__________A.Blow hard.B. become a top one.B.Need for affection. D. get angry.4.We can learn from the passage that ________A.Dr. Page and Professor Landis used a special method to test abnormalpersons.B.What Dr. Page and Professor Landis found was new to other doctors.C.The research of Dr. Page and Professor Landis was to prove previousresearches.D.The purpose of the test was to find a way to cue abnormal persons.5.This short passage is most likely taken from________A.An advertisement.B. a laboratory report.C.Manual .D. an article.IV. Reading. (10)First impressions are often lasting ones. Indeed, if you play your cards. Right, you can enjoy the benefits of what is called “halo effect”. This means that if you are viewed positively within the critical first four minutes, the person you have met will likely assume every thing you do is positive.Four minutes! Studies tell us that that’s the critical period in whi ch impressions are formed by someone we’ve just met. People tend to focus on what they see (dress, eye contact, movement), on what they hear ( how fast or slowly we talk, our voice, tone and volume), and on our actual words.Most employers believe that those who look as if they care about themselves are more likely to care about their jobs. We know “It is what’s inside that counts,” but research shows that physically attractive people are generally perceived by employers as more intelligent, likable and believable.Here’s how to make those critical four minutes count:First, look your best. It signals success. Studies have linked clothing consciousness to high self- respect and job satisfaction.Second, monitor your body language. How you move and gesture will greatly influence an interviewer’s first impression of you.Third, say what you mean. Your goal is to show confidence and be believed. Hold that favorable first impression by making your words consistent with your body language and appearance.Finally, there is a matter of how you speak, Any professional voice coach will tell you that you can learn to sound more relaxed, more assertive and more confident.1.If you want to benefit from the so- called “halo- effect”, you have to learnhow toA.Create a lasting impressionB.Act as if you were playing cardsC.Make the first impression right.D.Be critical within the first four minutes.2.When people meet you for the first time, they will _____A.Cry to avoid eye- contact with you.B.Notice all your behaviours.C.Listen to your patiently.D.Cry to avoid eye- contact with you.E.Act as friendly as possible.3.What kind of person is likely to be accepted by the employer?A.One who is physically excellent.B.One who is capable of talking.C.One who is fairly modest.D.One who cares about oneself.4.In the sentence “It is what is inside that counts” (lines 2-3, Pare.3), whatdoes the word “count” mean?A.Do calculationB. be important.C.take into consideration.D. Make a conclusion.5.Which of the following could probably be the title of tis passage?A. How to Impress Interviewers.B.The Deepest Impression.C. Be More Confident.D.The Attractive Four Minutes.V. Question Answering (10)1.Paris is an ancient city, the center of France and probably the mostcultured city in Europe. For the modern traveler it’s very easy to reach the famous city on the river Seine. You can fly there in less time than it takes to travel by train from Beijing to Shanghai. Once you reach Paris you are surprised by a city that is the perfect combination of modern life andhistory.2.The best time to arrive is the spring. Winter is cold and wet, the summerhumid and autumn windy. In the spring the flowers are blossoming, the sun shines and the birds sing. The people of Paris are most pleased with spring in their city. They play in the parks, visit the beautiful monuments and enjoy “joie de vivre”.3.If you arrive in Paris in the springtime you will enjoy the life of lazy walksdown the boulevards too, sitting in the cafes and visiting the most famous museums in the world. There are many places for you to visit, Notre Dame de Paris, the nearby palace of Versaille, the arch of triumph and of course the Eiffel Tower.4.You’ll notice that in Paris the people in the cafes all look at the people onthe street. They like to see and be seen. Some monuments are not French poodie with his well-tailored looks. This is the city where the Frenchimpressionists painted their works, where arts, culture and literature are the main passions of life. Apart of course, from the food! All Frenchmen like to eat and drink wine- they are never happier than when they arehaving a picnic on the banks of the river Seine in the springtime.1.What will be your first impression if you visit Paris?2.The underlined part “joie de vivre” in Para. 2 most probable means“_____________________________”3.Spring is the best time to visit Paris mainlybecause_______________________.4.What do the French people love most according to the passage?VI. Writing (10)The Season I Like Best.。

AOn February 6, Space X, a private US aerospace company owned by Elon Musk, has successfully launched its new Falcon Heavy spacecraft, making it the world’s most powerful rocket.Falcon Heavy is the largest rocket since the retirement of NASA’s Saturn V, which was used for the Moon missions in the 1970s. “Falcon Heavy can launch about 64 tonnes into low Earth orbit-that’s almost three times more than the current running biggest launch vehicle, Delta IV Heavy, ”Imperial College astrophysicist David Cleme nts told AI Jazeera. According to Space X, Falcon Heavy can lift into orbit a mass greater than a 737 jet loaded with passengers, crew, luggage and fuel.The rocket was designed with the idea of earning humans into space and opening the possibility of flying missions with people to the Moon and even Mars. For its first voyage, itcarried Musk’s $ 100,000 cherry-red Tesla sports car and a fake space-suited human model fixedin the driver’s seat. Musk joked that “it may be discovered by some future alien race”. Array Falcon Heavy went into space on its last flight on February 6. The launch took place at NASA’s Cape Canaveral Air Force Station and Kennedy Space Center in the US state of Florida, the spot also used for the Apollo 11 Moon mission and several space shuttle launches. It was delayed by several hours because of high winds in the upper atmosphere. Minutes after take-off, the two outer boosters (助推器) landed at the nearby Cape Canaveral Air Force Station.Space X announced plans to eventually use Falcon Heavy to launch two paying space tourists on a trip around the Moon. However, Musk said he will probably reserve that mission for another launch system, the BFR. Recently, Space X scheduled to launch a Falcon 9 rocket for NASA’s TESS mission on March 20, 2018.

Reading Comprehension (30%)Directions: There are 3 passages in this section. Each passage is followed by some questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A), B), C) and D). You should decide on the best choice and mark the corresponding letter on Answer Sheet 2 with a single line through the centre. Questions 46 to 50 are based on the following passage.If you want to teach your children how to say sorry, you must be good at saying it yourself, especially to your own children. But how you say it can be quite tricky.If you say to your children “I’m sorry I got angry with you, but …” what follows that“but” can render the apology ineffective: “I had a bad day” or “your noise was giving me a headache ” leaves the person who has been injured feeling that he should be apologizing for his bad behavior in expecting an apology.Another method by which people appear to apologize without actually doing so is to say “I’m sorry you’re upset”; this suggests that you are somehow at fault for allowing yourself to get upset by what the other person has done.Then there is the general, all covering apology, which avoids the necessity of identifying a specific act that was particularly hurtful or insulting, and which the person who is apologizing should promise never to do again. Saying “I’m useless as a parent” does not commit a person to any specific improvement.These pseudo-apologies are used by people who believe saying sorry shows weakness. Parents who wish to teach their children to apologize should see it as a sign of strength, and therefore not resort to these pseudo-apologies.But even when presented with examples of genuine contrition, children still need help to become aware of the complexities of saying sorry. A three-year-old might need help in understanding that other children feel pain just as he does, and that hitting a playmate over the head with a heavy toy requires an apology.A six-year-old might need reminding that spoiling other children’s expectations can require an apology. A 12-year-old might need to be shown that raiding the biscuit tin without asking permission is acceptable, but that borrowing a parent’s clothes without permission is not.46. If a mother adds “but” to an apology, _______.A) she doesn’t feel that she should have apologizedB) she does not realize that the child has been hurtC) the child may find the apology easier to acceptD) the child may feel that he owes her an apology47. According to the author, saying “I’m sorry you’re upset” most probably means “_______”.A) You have good reason to get upsetB) I’m aware you’re upset, but I’m not to blameC) I apologize for hurting your feelingsD) I’m at fault for making you upset48. It is not advisable to use the general, all-covering apology because _______.A) it gets one into the habit of making empty promisesB) it may make the other person feel guiltyC) it is vague and ineffectiveD) it is hurtful and insulting49. We learn from the last paragraph that in teaching children to say sorry _______.A) the complexities involved should be ignoredB) their ages should be taken into accountC) parents need to set them a good exampleD) parents should be patient and tolerant50. It can be inferred from the passage that apologizing properly is _______.A) a social issue calling for immediate attentionB) not necessary among family membersC) a sign of social progressD) not as simple as it seemsQuestions 51 to 55 are based on the following passage.Keiko loved London ----- the shops, the entertainment and the low prices. English weather though was one thing that trouble her. Every time she went out she felt under the weather.In one hour the weather could change from cloud and rain to warm sunshine and back again. She never knew what to wear. In Japan there are typically four seasons and she always knew what weather to expect. When winter came she would carefully put away her husband’s summer suits and she would never let him wear them again until June 1st, no matter how hot it became. But in Englandshe had to have all the clothes at hand all the time in case the weather changed.She was always annoyed when she went to her English conversation lessons with Mr. Boyd because she was either over-dressed or underdressed.

Mr. Boyd said, “The weather is a good topic to use in conversation and can help to break the ice. If you don’t what to say next, you can always say something about the weather.”This was true because Keiko had noticed the many times Mr. Boyd had talked about the weather to her. Mr. Boyd was very unusual in his habits and always carried an umbrella even in the sunniest weather. All the teachers and students made fun of him about it. “You never can tell,”he always said.

He believed ignorance to be the enemy of freedom, and he wanted to correct what he considered to be the weakness of educational institutions modeled on European settings. He imagined that an “academical village” around a tree-lined lawn would provide anideal setting in which to pursue higher education. The center of such a village would be a Temple of Knowledge that would house the university library.When Virginia decided to set up a state university in 1818, the retired U. S. President finally was able to devote his talent, time, and energy to creating this new kind of educational institution. By the time he was finished with his design, Jefferson had invented an entirely new American setting for higher education: the college campus.In 1812, Jefferson chose to begin building his “academical village,”the University of Virginia, in Charlottesville, VA, far away from the city center. He intended this spot to promote learning because it was natural and unspoiled, and far from anything that could distract or harm the students. The University consists of two rows of houses, five on each side, leading to a main building. This main building, the Rotunda, became the most important part of the University, because it contained the library. By focusing his entire institution on the library, instead of around the church, Jefferson revolutionized American university architecture.Jefferson’s aim was to create a new institutional form for his ideal educational system, a system he thought should give every citizen the information he needs for carrying out his daily business. This new approach to citizenship and education demanded a new type of university, one where students and professors could coexist and share ideas. He attempted to create this environment by combing the professors’houses and students’classrooms, and linking all the buildings with covered walkways so intellectual exchanges between departments could go on smoothly. Jefferson had also recognized the importance of the students’ whole life, and given much thought and planning to the students’ dining, living, and exercise facilities.56. Jefferson devoted much of his thought to the education of the common man because he believed ________.A. everyone who loved freedom hated ignorance.B. a country could not be strong without education.C. an uneducated man could not gain full freedom.D. European educational institutions did not suit America57. According to Jefferson, the center of a university should be ______ .A. the churchB. the libraryC. the lawnD. the classroom58. Jefferson chose o locate the University of Virginia far away from the city center because ________.A. land in the city center could not be found.B. there was a tree-lined lawn thereC. this was a European traditionD. there was no distraction for the students.59. In Jefferson’s view, an ideal educational system should _________.A. be one under which every citizen enjoys equal opportunity.B. give everyone the information he needs for conducting his business.C．ensure that everyone has a chance to enter an institution of higher learning.D. provide students with a natural and unspoiled setting for learning.60. What was made easy by the revolutionized American campus?A. Students’ learning.B. Intellectual exchangeC. Professors’ teachingD. Both students’ and professors’ life.IV.
