For questions 26-28, 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, or NG (for NOT GIVEN) if the statement is not given in the passage.For Questions 29 and 30, complete the sentences with the information given in the passage. English Around the WorldDo you speak English? That question is frequently asked in countries around the world. Although there are almost 3,000 languages, English is most universal. It is the official language in over 40 countries and the most used language in international business, science, and medicine.Even in countries where English is not the first language, a number of English words are used. No other language is borrowed from more often than English. For example, a French worker looks forward to le weekend. A Romanian shopper catches a ride on the trolleybus. A Chinese businessperson talks on the te le fung (telephone). Some Swedish schoolgirls have even started making the plural forms of words by adding –s, as in English, instead of the Swedish way of adding –ar, -or or –er.Hundreds of words borrowed from English can now be found in other languages, words such as soda, hotel, golf, tennis, jeans, O.K., baseball, and airport. Although many words are used just as they are, others are changed to make them more like the native language and therefore easier to say and remember. Thus a Japanese worker gets stuck in rushawa (rush-hour) traffic. A Spanish mother tells her child to put on her sueter (sweater), and a Ukrainian man goes to the barber for a herkot (haircut)English is everywhere. It is on signs, clothing, soft drinks, and household products around the world. In spite of the popularity of English words and phrases, however, they are not always welcome. Some people think that the use of English words is threatening the purity of their native language. The French started a commission to try to stop, and even give fines for the use of English words. Some countries have tried to eliminate English as their official language in order to save their native tongue.On the other hand, some people believe that English should be the international language. They give a number of reasons for this, such as the cost of translations and the misunderstanding that result from language differences. They believe that things would run more smoothly if everyone spoke the same language.“What would become of our many different cultures?‖ others argue. ―Certainly the world would be a much less interesting place,‖ they add. Indeed, there is serious concern on the part of language experts that many languages are disappearing. In some parts of the world, only a few people are left who can speak the native tongue. In Ireland, for example, there are only a few small areas where people speak Gaelic, the native Irish language. One expert says that half of the world’s languages are dying because children are no longer learning them.Languages have changed and disappeared throughout history. With progress, change is inevitable. Some things are worth preserving. Others are not. The difficulty is in deciding what is worth keeping. Because people have very strong feelings about the importance of their native language, we probably will not have a universal language in the near future. What is certain, however, is thatEnglish words will continue to pop up everywhere, from Taiwan to Timbuktu, whether some people like it or not.26. From the first paragraph, we know that at present English is used more widely in different fields than any other language in the world.27. Rushawa in Japan and sueter in Spanish show that some English words are changed so that they may be learned more quickly than the words in the native languages by the local people.28. In 1975, the French set up a commission to try to eliminate English as their official language.29. The author uses the example of Gaelic to illustrate that .30. At the end of the passage, the author draws a conclusion that . Section B Reading in Depth (10*2= 20 Points)Directions: In this section there are two passages each with five incomplete statements. Read each passage and complete the statements with one of the four given choices marked A, B, C, and D according to your comprehension. You should decide on the best choice and then write down the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet.Passage OneQuestions 31 to 35 are based on the following passage.Part AIn 2001 the United Kingdom was hit again by foot-and-mouth disease, the first time since the 1960s, causing a national crisis. However, much of the panic and confusion was spread largely as a result of ignorance of the disease.Foot-and-mouth is a highly contagious (传染性的) disease found in Africa, South America, Asia, the Middle East and parts of Europe. It affects cloven-footed (偶蹄) domestic animals such as cows, pigs, sheep and goats, as well as wild animals like rats and deer and zoo animals such as elephants. Horses, however, cannot contract (感染) the disease.It is very rare for humans to catch the disease. Indeed, only one case has been recorded in Great Britain and that was in 1967.Part BFoot-and-mouth disease is insidious （潜伏的）and can be spread by direct and indirect contact with infected animal. The disease can be spread on the wind, and can be spread by people, equipment or vehicles which have been in contact with the disease.Although the authorities do not really know where this latest outbreak of the disease originated, it can enter a country in frozen meat imported from other countries where the disease is common. Unlike Mad Cow Disease (BSE) and the human equivalent CJD, foot-and-mouth has no implication （牵连）for the human food chain. Any meat, milk, cheese and other dairy products can be consumed quite safely.Part CIt seems that the only way to control the disease is to kill infected animals. There is no cure for the disease, and although adult animals normally recover in 2-3 weeks, they sadly remain carriers of the virus for up to two years.From the time the disease was first reported to the time the epidemic（流行）was officially declared over, one and a half million and more domestic animals were slaughtered and large areas of the countryside were closed to the public. These areas included parks, woods and forests, and various leisure attractions situated in the countryside.31. The main purpose of writing this passage is_______.A. to warn people of the danger of the diseaseB. to describe the disaster by the diseaseC. to share some of the facts about the diseaseD. to declare the success in control of the disease32. Foot-and-mouth disease is insidious because it is spread_______.A. by farmers and farm vehiclesB. in so many different waysC. by being carried in the airD. mainly by people who have been in contact with infected animals33. That foot-and-mouth disease is different from Mad Cow Disease mainly lies in that______.A. it affects the human food chainB. people cannot consume dairy productsC. it is found in frozen meatD. meat is still safe to eat34. The underlined word ―they‖ in Part C means ________.A. diseaseB. infected animalsC. adult animalsD. 2-3 weeks35. Which of the following is not true according to the passage?A. Horses cannot contract the foot-and-mouth disease.B. The record that humans caught the disease was first kept in 1967.C. Frozen meat imported from other countries can carry the disease.D. Animals infected can be cured in 2-3 weeks.Passage TwoQuestion 36 to 40 based on the following passage.In bringing up children, every parent watches eagerly the child's acquisition (学会) of each new skill m the first spoken words, the first independent steps, or the beginning of reading and writing. It is often tempting to hurry the child beyond his natural learning rate, but this can set up dangerous feelings of failure and states of worry in the child. This might happen at any stage. A baby might be forced to use a toilet too early; a young child might be encouraged to learn to read before he knows the meaning of the words he reads. On the other hand, though, if a child is left alone too much, or without any learning opportunities, he loses his natural enthusiasm for life and his desire to find out new things for himself.Parents vary greatly in their degree of strictness towards their children. Some may be especially strict in money matters. Others are severe (严格的) over time of coming home at night or punctuality for meals. In general, the controls represent the needs of the parents and the values of the community as much as the child's own happiness.As regards the development of moral standards in the growing child, consistency is very important in parental teaching. To forbid a thing one day and excuse it the next is no foundation for morality (道德). Also, parents should realize that "example is better than precept". If they are not sincere and do not practice what they preach (说教), their children may grow confused when they grow old enough to think for themselves, and realize they have been to some extent fooled.A sudden awareness of a marked difference between their parents' principles and their morals can be a dangerous disappointment.36. Eagerly watching the child's acquisition of new skills, ___________.A. should be avoidedB. is universal among parentsC. sets up dangerous states of worry in the childD. will make the child lose interest in learning new things37. In the process of children's learning new skills, parents ________.A. should encourage them to read before they know the meaning of the words they readB. should expect a lot of the childrenC. should achieve a balance between pushing them too hard and leaving them on their ownD. should create as many learning opportunities as possible38. The second paragraph mainly tells us that ___________.A. parents should be strict with their childrenB. parental controls reflect only the values of the communityC. parental restrictions vary, and are not always for the benefit of the children aloneD. it's parents' and society's duty to control the children39. The word "precept" in Paragraph 3 probably means "___________".A. opinionB. punishmentC. behaviorD. instruction40. In terms of moral matters, parents should _________.A. follow the rules themselvesB. be aware of the huge difference between adults and childrenC. forbid their children to follow hook teachingsD. always ensure the security of their childrenPartⅢCloze (20*1= 20 points)Directions: There are 20 blanks in the following passage. For each blank there are four choices marked A), B), C) and D). You should choose the ONE that best fits into the passage. Then mark the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet.The people in the village of Gundrung, Nepal, like to look at the photograph of a nameless young man.

郑州大学大学英语读写四级试卷B卷2010---2011学年第一学期期末试题（2011.2）(2011.02)Part I Reading Comprehension (Reading In Depth) (50%)Directions:There are 5 passages in this part. Each passage is followed by some questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A), B), C)and D). You should decide on the best choice and mark the corresponding letter onthe Answer Sheet with a single line through the center.Passage OneThe old-fashioned general store is fast disappearing. This is, perhaps, a pity, because shopping today seems to lack that personal element which existed when the shopkeeper knew all his regular customers personally. He could, for instance, remember which brand of tea Mrs. Smith usually bought or what sort of washing-powder Mrs. Jones preferred. Not only was the shop a center of buying and selling, but also a social meeting place.A prosperous general store might have employed four or five assistants, and so there were very few problems in management as far as the staff were concerned. But now that the supermarket has replaced the general store, the job of the manager has changed completely. The modern supermarket manager has to cope with a staff of as many as a hundred, apart from all the other everyday problems of running a large business.Every morning the manager must, like the commander of an army division, carry out an inspection of his store to make sure that everything is ready for the business of the day. He must see that everything is running smoothly. He will have to give advice and make decisions as problems arise; and he must know how to get his huge staff to work efficiently with their respective responsibilities.No matter what he has to do throughout the day, however, the supermarket manager must be ready for any emergency that may arise. They say in the trade that you are not really an experienced supermarket manager until you have dealt with a flood, a fire, a birth and a death in your store.1. The passage mainly tells us ___________.A) the old-fashioned general store is disappearing rapidlyB) a supermarket manager has to deal with problems every morningC) the role of a shop manager has changed a lotD) the old-fashioned general store has replaced the supermarket2. Which of the following statements is NOT true according to the passage?A) There is less personal contact between a supermarket manager and his customers.B) A supermarket manager has more management problems than a general store manager.C) A supermarket manager has to find a way to allow his staff to realize their potential.D) The relationship between the staff and the manager in a supermarket is much closer thanthat in an old general store.3. Mrs. Smith and Mrs. Jones mentioned in the first paragraph are most probably ___________.A) the relat ives of the shopkeeper’sB) the friends of the shopkeeper’sC) the shop assistants of the old general storeD) the regular customers of the old general store4. The supermarket manager is compared to a ___________ according to the passage.A) military officerB) school inspectorC) film directorD) store supervisor5. What conclusion can you draw from the last sentence of the passage?A) As a supermarket manager, one should be able to deal with emergencies.B) Accidents such as a flood or a fire often occur in a supermarket.C) An experienced supermarket manager will surely meet with a flood or a fire in his lifetime.D)An experienced supermarket manager must have dealt with emergencies of one kind oranother.Passage TwoMany of us believe that a pe rson’s mind becomes less active as he grows older. But this is not true, according to Dr. Gates, professor of psychiatry at the University of California. She has studied the mental functioning of aging persons for several years. For example, one of her studies concerns 136 pairs of identical twins, who were first examined when they were already 60 years old. As Dr. Gates continued the study of the twins into their 70s and 80s, their minds did not generally decline as was expected.However, there was some decline in their psycho-motor speed. This means that it took them longer to accomplish mental tasks than it used to. But when speed was not a factor, they lost very little intellectual ability over the years. In general, Dr. Gates’ studies have shown tha t there is no decline in knowledge or reasoning ability. This is true not only with those in their 30s and 40s, but with those in their 60s and 70s as well.It is true that older people themselves often complain that their memory is not as good as it o nce was. However, much of what we call “loss of memory” is not that at all. There usually was incomplete learning in the first place. For example, the older person perhaps had trouble hearing, or poor vision, or inattention, or was trying to learn the new thing at too fast a pace. In the cases where the older person’s mind really seems to decay, it is not necessarily a sign of decay due to old age. Often it is simply a sign of a depressed emotional state.6. According to Dr. Gates’ studies, middle-aged and older persons would expect to ___________.A) lose no intellectual abilityB) remember lessC) learn fewer new thingsD) reason better7. Mental decay due to aging is__________.A) very common among older personsB) much less common than most people believeC) much more common than most people believeD) true with those over 60 or 708. A long-term study of 136 pairs of twins showed that __________.A) their minds became a bit more active as they grew olderB) they lost a little ability to reason over the yearsC) their memory was not as good as it had once beenD) their speed to perform mental tasks reduced over the years9. According to the passage, all the following are instances of “incomplete learning”EXCEPT ___________.A) poor hearingB) learning too many new thingsC) lack of attentionD) bad eyesight10. What we call mental decay is usually a sign of ___________.A) loss of memoryB) old ageC) a low-spirited stateD) nervous tensionPassage ThreeThe food we eat seems to have profound effects on our health. Although science has made enormous steps in making food more fit to eat, it has, at the same time, made many foods unfit to eat. Some research has shown that perhaps 80 percent of cancer is related to the diet as well, especially cancer of the colon (结肠).Different cultures are more prone to contract certain illnesses because of the food that is characteristic in these cultures. That food related to illness is not a new discovery. In 1945, government researchers in the U.S. realized that nitrates (硝酸盐), commonly used to preserve color in meats, and other food additives (添加剂), caused cancer. Yet, these carcinogenic additives remain in our food, and it becomes more difficult all the time to know which things on the packaging labels of processed food are helpful or harmful.The additives which we eat are not all so direct. Farmers often give penicillin to beef andpoultry to cure some diseases, and because of this, penicillin has been found in the milk of treated cows. Sometimes similar drugs are administered to animals not for medicinal (医疗的) purposes, but for financial reasons. The farmers are simply trying to fatten the animals in order to obtain a higher price on the market in a faster way. Although the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has tried repeatedly to control these procedures, the practices continue.11. What is the main topic of the passage?A) Food and culture.B) Food and additives.C) Food and cancer.D) Food and our health.12. Which of the following statements is NOT true according to the passage?A) More than half of cancer may be caused by problems related to food.B) Penicillin is given to animals not for medicinal purposes but for financial reasons.C) We eat some food additives directly and some indirectly.D) Researchers have known about the potential danger of food additives for many years.13. Why do farmers give drugs to their animals?A) To make the animals healthierB) To speed up the growth of animalsC) To make the animals’ meat fit to eatD) To make the anima ls’ meat more tasty14. It can be inferred from the passage that___________.A) scientists have made all the food fit to eat thanks to the advance in scienceB) only in recent years have people found that nitrates are related to the cancer of colonC) some additives harmful to our health are in a way not so obviously noticedD) all kinds of cancer are related to the diet that are characteristic of a certain culture15. The word “carcinogenic” in the second paragraph most probably means___________.A) very healthyB) quite nutritiousC) may cure our diseaseD) may cause cancerPassage FourYou must face the fact that in your inmost heart you hate the thought of moving. It is easiest not to leave the rooms where your children passed through their wonderful childhood and annoying teens to a friendly but slightly distant maturity.Until, suddenly one day, the distance is absolute and they are grown up and gone. Then you find yourself living in too large a house, which consumes in its maintenance too much energy and money. When we found ourselves in this situation a few years ago, we determined to move while we still had the strength and before the emotional ties that the old house had wrappedaround us became too powerful to be broken. Move while you can! But be sure you really want to, and do not move too often. It is an exhausting process.Your first task is to find a house that will suit you. It must be smaller, quieter, easier to run, and more conveniently placed for transport. Not so small, though, that it will not have room for your largest pieces of furniture, and located not too far from the neighborhood where so many friendships have been built up.At last we found one: a late Victorian cottage, in a street where the houses, all small, range from late 18th to mid 20th century. It was near enough to where we wanted to live. It had no basement (底下层), which was a great convenience for aging legs; there were only two floors: one for ourselves and one where friends, children, and grandchildren could spread themselves when they came to stay. Each floor had two rooms. There was a kitchen on the ground floor, with the bathroom above it.16. The passage concerns ___________.A) buying a house for a newly married coupleB) buying a large house for a growing familyC) buying a better house when people have more money to spendD) buying a smaller house for older people whose children have left home17.The passage implies that grown-up children are ___________.A) more friendly to their parents when they are grown upB) distant from their parentsC) friendly but not very closeD) annoying18. The author decided to move ___________.A) when his house gave him too much work and cost too much to runB) when he grew tired of his houseC) when he suddenly got the strength to do soD) before the house collapsed19. The author advises people in his own situation ___________.A) to move into a very small houseB) to move somewhere where the largest possible pieces of furniture will fitC) not to move too far from the main roadD) to choose somewhere not so noisy20. According to the passage, the new house had ___________.A) two floors B) three floorsC) four floors D) two bathroomsPassage FiveIs teaching important? Well, of course it is. There was a time when all necessary knowledge could be taught to the young by family members. But as societies became more complex anddivision of labor more common, it was impossible for family members to teach the information and skills young people needed to become useful members of the society. As the need for specialists appeared, the job of teaching came into being in our country, and teaching as a job has been of increasing importance over the past one hundred years. Today, we have strict rules for teachers. We hope all children can go to school. Many things tell us that teaching is indeed an "important" job.In recent years, there has been an increasing need for teachers to be "responsible". This means that the public expects teachers to succeed in teaching important information to the young. Teachers' salaries today, while not much, certainly are much higher than they were in the past. These increases have come about because people have realized that quality people, individuals who are highly able to teach, will not do it if they are not offered enough money. Today almost no one says that "anybody will do" for a teacher. The public expects "quality people" to teach the young, and progress is being made to give salaries that will make people who have abilities become teachers.21. In the author's opinion, the job of a teacher ___________.A) is done best by family membersB) is too complex for most peopleC) is free of rulesD) is important for society22. The cause for the new job of "teacher" was ___________.A) the increased importance of laborB) the need for specialistsC) the strict rules of the governmentD) the increased number of children in school23. According to the writer, ___________ is on the increase nowadays.A) a need for teachers to have responsibility for themselvesB) a need for teachers to teach responsibility to studentsC) the numbers of students who are entering schoolD) the numbers of people who take the job of teacher24. We learn from this passage that ___________.A) money encourages teachers to be responsibleB) money is not a responsible reason to become a teacherC) money is a good way to attract people to become teachersD) money was much higher for teachers in the past25.What do people hardly ever say these days?A) Anyone can be a teacher.B) Progress is being made.C) Teachers have abilities.D) Quality people are teaching the young.Part III Vocabulary and Structure (15%)Directions: There are 30 incomplete sentences in this part.

Concepts of reading have changed 56 over the centuries. During the 1950s especially, increased attention has been devoted to 57 and describing the reading process. 58 specialists agree that reading 59 a complex organization of higher mental 60 , they disagree 61 the exact nature of the process. Some experts, who regard language primarily as a code using symbols to represent sounds, 62 reading as simply the decoding of symbols to the sounds they stand 63 .These authorities 64 that meaning, being concerned with thinking, must betaught independently of the decoding process. Others maintain that reading is 65 related to thinking, and that a child who pronounces sounds without 66 their meaning is not truly reading. The reader, 67 to some, is not just a person with a theoretical ability to read but one who 68 reads.Many adults, although they have the ability to read, have never read a book in its 69 . By some experts they would not be 70 as readers. Clearly, the philosophy, objectives, methods and materials of reading will depend on the definition one uses.

One day he became very ill and everyone thought he would die. They sent for a doctor, who arrived two days later and examined the sick man. The doctor asked for a pen and some paper to write down the name of the medicine, but there was no pen or paper in the village, because no one could read or write.The doctor picked up a piece of burnt wood from the fire. He wrote the name of the medicine on the door of the house. “Get this medicine for him,” he said, “and he will soon get better.”Marek’s family and friends did not know what to do. They could not read the strange writing. Then the village baker had an idea. He took off the door of the house, put it on his cart, and drove to the nearest town.

Overhead bridges are used in very much the same way as zebra crossings. They are more efficient although less convenient because people have to climb up a long flight of steps. This is inconvenient especially to older people. When pedestrians use an overhead bridge, they do not hold up traffic. However, when they cross a busy road using a zebra crossing, traffic is held up. This is why the government has built many overhead bridges to help pedestrians and to keep traffic moving at the same time.The government of Singapore has spent large sums of money building these bridges. For their own safety pedestrians should be encouraged to use them instead of risking their lives bydashing across the road. Old people, however, may find it a little difficult climbing up and down the steps, but it is still much safer than walking across the road with all the danger of moving traffic.Overhead bridges serve a very useful purpose. Pedestrians, both old and young, should make it a habit to use them. This will prevent unnecessary accidents and loss of life.26. What is the advantage of overhead bridges mentioned in this passage?A. Taller vehicle can pass under them.B. Pedestrians can climb up and have a view of the city.C. They don’t hold up traffic and are safer for pedestrians.D. They are easier and more convenient for the pedestrians.27. Why were overhead bridges built in Singapore by its government?A. Because they do not hold up traffic.B. Because they provide an easy way for the drivers to cross the road.C. Because they save money for the government.D. Because they save time for the pedestrians.28. Which of the following is true according to this passage?A. Overhead bridges are found in places where traffic is heavy.B. Overhead bridges are found in every part of Singapore.C. Overhead bridges are found in many parts of the big cities in the world.D. Overhead bridges are only found in the capital Singapore.29. The expression “zebra crossings” in paragraph 2 means ____________.A. a safe place where pedestrians use to walk across a roadB. a big animal covered with alternating black and white stripes in AfricaC. a safe place where zebras walk aroundD. a safe place across a road for children to play a game30. What is the writer’s attitude towards overhead bridges?A. It is inconvenient to older people to walk across the road.B. It is much safer though a little difficult climbing up and down the steps for pedestrians.C. Overhead bridges are more beautiful than zebra crossingsD. To build overhead bridges is the order of the government.Passage ThreeCars are an important part of life in the United States. Without a car most people feel that they are poor. An even if a person is poor he doesn’t feel really poor when he has a car.Henry Ford was the man who fi rst started making cars in large numbers. He probably didn’t know how much the car was going to affect American culture. The car made the Unite States a nation on wheels. And it helped make the United States what it is today.There are three main reasons the car became so popular in the United States. First of all, the country is a huge one and Americans like to move around in it. The car provides the most comfortable and cheapest form of transportation. With a car people can go any place without spending a lot of money.The second reason cars are popular is the fact that the United States never really developed an efficient and inexpensive form of public transportation. Long-distance trains have never been as common in the United States as they are in other parts of the world. Nowadays, there is a good system of air-service provided by planes. But it is too expensive to be used frequently.The third reason is the most important one, though. The American spirit of independence is what really made cars popular. Americans don’t like to wait for a bus or a train or even a plane.They don’t like to have to follow an exact schedule. A car gives them the freedom to schedule their own time. And this is the freedom that Americans want most to have.The gas shortage has caused a big problem for Americans. But the answer will not be a bigger system of public transportation. The real solution will have to be a new kind of car, one that does not use so much gas.31. When do most Americans feel they are poor?A. When th ey don’t have a car.B. When they live in a huge country.C. When they don’t use planes.D. When they have a car.32. Why do cars become popular in the United States?A. The United States is huge.B. Public transportation is not so good.C. Americans like to be independent.D. Americans like to move around.33. What public transportation is good in the United States?A. Buses.B. Trains.C. Taxis.D. Planes.34. What has caused a big problem for Americans?A. A new kind of car.B. Public transportation.C. The gas shortage.D. Poor people.35. Which of the following is not mentioned according to this passage?A. Cars have made the nation on wheels.B. Cars have made the United States have a gas shortage.C. Nearly 80% of the American people have cars.D. Cars have made American independent.Passage FourOne of the favorite baseball players in the United States during the 1930’s was Leo Frangio. He was born and raised in New York City. As a boy, he was often in trouble with school authorities. He and his friends used to stay away from school to play baseball.He dropped out of high school to begin playing professional ball. In 1931, as a rookie (新手) with the New York Canaries, Leo hit 38 home runs (本垒打). For the next five years he hit 40 to 45 home runs a year. In 1936 he had his best year, hitting 54 home runs with a 365 batting average.Leo was a hero to people everywhere, but it was the children that he felt closest to. He frequently visited hospitals to talk with sick children. He never got married so he always spent Christmas day with children who didn’t have any parents. The children liked him as much as Santa Claus.In 1937 Leo had a bad year. After he hit 52 home runs again in 1938, the Canaries decided to trade him. Talks were being held with the Blue Birds an the Robins when Leo said that he was going to retire. He said he would never play for a team other than the Canaries.After leaving baseball Leo had several different jobs. First he had a job as PR (public relations) man for a sporting goods company. He didn’t enjoy the work, though, and he quit after one year. Then he tried working as a sports writer. Since he was not such a good writer, however, he soon gave that up, too.Finally in 1940, he began working as a radio announcer for baseball games. He became very popular because he made the game sound so exciting. During the next fifteen years he added much to the language of baseball. But as TV became more and more popular Leo decided to quit announcing. He moved back to New York where he is still active in teaching children to play baseball.36. Which team did Leo play for?A. The Canaries.B. The Robins.C. The Orioles.D. The Blue Birds.37. When was Leo’s best year as a player?A. 1938.B. 1936.C. 1931.D. 1937.38. What job did Leo have the longest?A. Playing baseball.B. Working as a PR man.C. Announcing on the radio.D. Working as a sports writer.39. Why did Leo quit announcing?A. Because he was going to be traded.B. Because he became a sports writer.C. Because he went back to New York.D. Because TV became popular.40. Why did Leo Frangio become popular as a radio announcer?A. He was a very good baseball player.B. He made the game sound exciting.C.

The body needs them for life and health. So naturally, many people are concerned with the question: Am I getting enough vitamins, and am I getting the right kind2 Even though very small amounts of each vitamin are enough for the needs of the body, that many people have not enough vitamins has some basis. And this has something to do with their diet — the food they take in. A person eating a good variety of foods gets all the vitamins now known to be needed with the possible exception of vitamin D. The problem is that there are many people who don’t choose foods wisely, don’t get enough variety, and don’t eat the basic foods they need to get their v itamins. So the answer to this question is: No extra vitamins are needed, if you eat proper food. In fact, many of the vitamins can not be stored in the body, so when extra vitamins are taken in, the body simply gets rid of them. It is even harmful to put too much of certain vitamins into the body. This has been found to be true of vitamin A and D, when large amounts are taken in.3 What foods supply what vitamins Here is a general idea. Vitamin A, for the health of the eyes, skin, teeth, and bones, is found in green vegetables, fruits, eggs, liver and butter. Vitamin B1 which helps the nervous and digestive systems and prevents certain diseases, is found in cereals, pork and liver. Vitamin B2 is found in milk, eggs, green vegetables and meats. Vitamin C, which helps bones and teeth, is found in tomatoes, certainfruits and vegetables. These are only a few of the most important vitamins the body needs.1.

They told him that they were lost and wanted to settle in his kingdom.2 In those days any foreigner was viewed with suspicion (怀疑), so the king was hesitant about letting them in. He sent for one glass of milk and one glass of water. He asked the leader of the Jews to taste the milk. Then he poured out some milk and added some water. He asked the leader to taste the milk again and said, “What is the difference in taste”3The leader said, “The second time the milk tastes terrible.” “That is because of the water added to the milk,” said the king.“The water dilutes the milk and spoils its taste. So too your addition (加入) will s poil the kingdom.” The leader of the Jews thought for a moment and asked for another glass of milk. He then added sugar to the milk and asked the king to taste it. “It tastes sweet,” said the king.4The leader of the Jews bowed his head and said, “Oh, ki ng！That is how we would like to live here：as the small amount of sugar which sweetens the large quantity of milk and not as the water which dilutes the milk.” Pleased with him the king granted them perm ission to stay.6.

Next, a tape recorder in the bed plays soft music or other pleasant sounds. A few minutes later, a second recording plays. The second recording can be loud music or unpleasant sounds. If you don’t get up after the second recording, you’ll be sorry. A mechanical “foot” is in the bed. The mechanical foot kicks yo u in the head. Then the bed waits a few more minutes. What! You’re still in bed! Slowly, the top of the bed rises hi gher and higher. The foot of the bed goes lower and lower. Finally, the bed is vertical. You slide off the bed and onto the floor. You are awake and out of bed.3 Hiroyuki made his bed because he wanted to win a contest. He works for Honda Motor Company. Once every two years, Honda has a contest—the “All Honda Idea Contest”.

D) Because he sometimes overslept.15. Who is Hiroyuki BA) A scientist. B) A company worker. C) An inventor. D) A carpenter.Passage 41 Each of us fails from time to time. If we are wise, we accept these failures as a necessary part of the learning process. But all too often as parents and teachers we deny this same right to our children. We tell them that failure is something to be ashamed of, that nothing but top performance will meet with our approval.2 When I see a child subject to this kind of pressure, I think of Donnie, my youngest third-grader，he was a shy, nervous perfectionist. His fear of failure kept him from classroom games that other children played with joyous abandon. He seldom answered questions — he might be wrong. Written assignments, especially math, reduced him to nail-biting frustration. He seldom finished his work because he repeatedly checked with me to be sure he hadn't made a mistake3 I tried my best to build his self-confidence. But nothing changed until midterm, when Mary Anne, a student teacher, was assigned to our classroom. She was young and pretty, and she loved children. My pupils, Donnie included, adored her. But even enthusiastic, loving Mary was baffled by this little boy who feared of making mistake.4 Then one morning we were working math problems at the blackboard. Donnie had copied the problems with painstaking neatness and filled in answers for the first row. Pleased with his progress, I left the children with Mary Anne and went for art materials. When I returned, Donnie was in tears. He'd missed the third problem.5 Mary looked at me in despair. Suddenly her face brightened. From the desk we shared, she got a canister of pencils.6“Look, Donnie,” she said, kneeling beside him and gently lifting the tear-stained face from his arms. She placed the pencils on his desk. “See these pencils, Donnie” she continued. “They belong to Mrs. Lindstrom and me. See how the erasers are worn That's because we make mistakes too, lots of them. But we erase the mistakes and try again. That’s what you must learn to do, too.”7She kissed him and stood up. “Here,” she said, “I’ll leave one pencil to you so you’ll remember that everybody makes mistakes, even teachers.” Donnie looked up with love in his eyes and just a glimmer of a smile.8The pencil became Donnie’s prize. That, together with Mary Anne’s frequent encouragement and unfailing praise for even Donnie’s small successes, gradually persuaded him that it’s all right to make mistakes — as long as you erase them and try again.16. In the author’s opinion, we should consider failures _C_______.A) a shame可耻的 B) mistakes错误的 C) acceptable可接受的 D) accessible方便的17. Donnie is a perfectionist, which means he __A______.A) cannot afford any mistakes B) often makes mistakes C) is always perfect D) seldom makes any mistakes18. Mary Anne was puzzled by Donnie because __D______.A) he bit his nails B) he adored her C) he made mistakes in math problems D) his fear of making mistakes19. Mary changed Donnie after ___A_____.A) giving him a pencil B) kneeling beside him and lifting his face from his armsC) persuading hi m that it’s ok to make mistakes D) erasing his mistakes20. This article tells us that __D______.A) the influence of a teacher is important to a student老师的影响是重要的一个学生B) there are growing pains in a student’s life这是一个学生的生命成长的烦恼C) you should erase your mistakes and try again你应该删除你的错误并再次尝试D) making mistakes is not such a big deal, as long as you try again 犯错并不是什么大不了的，只要你再试试。

I think that his words really_______.A. countB. discountC. verbalizeD. motivatePart II Reading comprehension （阅读理解）（每小题1分，共15分）Passage OneQuestions 31 to 35 are based on the following passage:Shortly after the war, my brother and I were invited to spend a few days’ holiday with an uncle who had just returned from abroad. He rented a cottage in the country, although he rarely spent much time there. The cottage, however, had no comfortable furniture in it, many of the windows were broken and the roof leaked, making the whole house damp.On our first evening, we sat around the fire after supper listening to the stories our uncle had had to tell of his many adventures in distant countries. I was so tired after the long train journey that I would have preferred to go to bed, but I could not bear to miss any of my uncle’s exciting tales.He was just in the middle of describing a rather terrifying experience he had, when there was a loud crash from the bedroom above, the one where my brother and I were going to sleep.“It sounds as if the roof has fallen in!” shouted my uncle, with a loud laugh.When we got to the top of the stairs and opened the bedroom door, a strange sight met oureyes. A large part of the ceiling had collapsed （）, falling right on to the pillow of my bed. I was glad that I had stayed up late to listen to my uncle’s stories, otherwise I should certainly have been seriously injured, perhaps killed.That nigh we all slept on the floor of the sitting room downstairs not wishing to risk our lives by sleeping under a roof which might at any moment collapse on our heads. We left for London the very next morning and my uncle gave up his cottage in the country. This was not the kind of adventure he cared for, either!31. What does the writer say about his uncle during the war?A、He made a lot of money.B、He enjoyed many of his adventures.C、He had a lot of adventures.D、He fought as a soldier.32. When did the story most likely happen?A、In the spring.B、In the summer.C、In the fall.D、In the winter.33. Why did the writer wish to go to bed at first?A、He thought his uncle’s stories would be boring.B、He was really tired from the long journey.C、He had the habit of going to bed early.D、His uncle’s stories made him sleepy.34. Why was the writer glad after the accident?A、He realized he would have a good sleep.B、He had heard many exciting stories.C、He had a narrow escape from death.D、He had experienced a great adventure.35. What did the writer’s uncle most likely do with the cottage after the accident?A、He bought it and had it repaired.B、He gave it to his neighbors.C、He sold it to others.D、He returned it to the landlord.Passage TwoQuestions 36 to 40are based on the following passage:Insurance is the sharing of risks. Nearly everyone is exposed to risks of some sort. The house owner, for example, knows that his property can be damaged by fire; the ship owner knows that his vessel may be lost at sea; the father knows that he may die at an early age and leave his family the poorer. On the other hand, not every house is damaged by fire, nor every vessel lost at sea. If these persons each put a small sum into a pool, there will be enough to meet the needs of the few who do suffer loss. In other words, the losses of the few are met from the contributions of the many. This is the basis of insurance. Those who pay the contributions are known as “insured” and those who control the pool of contributions as “insurer”.Not all risks lend themselves to being covered by insurance. Broadly speaking, the ordinary risks of business cannot be covered. The risk that buyers will not buy goods at the prices offered is not a kind that can be estimated in numbers and risks can only be insured against if they can be estimated.The legal basis of all insurance is the “policy”. This is a printed form of contract on thick paper of the best quality. It states that in return for regular payment by the insured of a named sum of money, called the “premium”, which is usually paid every year, the insurer will pay a sum of money for loss, if the risk or event insured against actually happens.36. Why does the writer mention the father in the passage?A、The writer uses the father as an example to illustrate his point.B、The writer believes the father knows better than the mother.C、The writer wants to persuade the father to buy insurance.D、The writer wishes to set an example for fathers.37. Which of the following can be covered by insurance?A、All risks of business.B、All houses damaged by fire.C、Goods with clearly marked prices.D、Things whose values can be estimated.38. What do insurers firmly believe?A、People don’t like to spend their money.B、No one can avoid any risks.C、Almost all people trust insurance.D、Most people like to help others.39. What does “premium” （Para.3）most probably mean in the passage?A、The money paid by the insured.B、A printed form of contract.C、The money paid for the loss.D、The contributions of insurers.40. What is the main idea of the passage?A、Insurance is a way of sharing risks among people.B、Insurance has a solid legal basis.C、Only a few people suffer loss in their daily life.D、Insurance is not worth buying.Passage ThreeQuestions 41 to 46 are based on the following passage:Kate, a student in 8th grade, asked lots of questions in math class—until the teacher told her to stop. “He said I was confusing the other kids with my questions,” she recalls. “When boys asked questions, he took them a lot more seriously.”You might have thought that such obvious forms of discrimination （歧视）had ended by now. But Esther Green glass, a psychology professor at York University in Toronto, says many recent studies have found that girls may still be faced with mixed messages about self-confidence and success, which can lower their self-esteem and discourage them from achieving their potential.The problem worsens at about age 11 or 12, when girls start hitting puberty （青春期）and discovering boys. Many girls’ grades drop, and so does their self-esteem. “Girls get the message that, if you’re going to be popular, you can’t be too smart because the boys won’t like you,” says Green glass, who has written extensively on sex roles and discrimination.Often, girls also sense that boys are considered more capable. In studies in the United States, researchers found that when teachers asked questions, they almost always made eye con?tact with boys, unless they had attended courses raising their level of awareness. Adding to the problem, according to Green glass, is the lack of female role models in old textbooks still found in many Canadian schools.How are girls’ attitudes affected? Studies have shown that boys usually attribute their success to their superior ability, while girls attribute their own success to luck. When boys fail at a task, they tend to blame it on external factors; when girls fail, they blame their own lack of ability. Boys are more likely to try a second time to succeed.41. The first paragraph intends to tell us that _______.A、girls usually ask more questions than boys in classB、girls often confuse teachers with many questionsC、teachers tend to give much more attention to boysD、teachers believe that boys ask more serious questions42. Findings by Professor Esther Greenglass indicate that _______.A、sex discrimination in schools has disappeared in CanadaB、Canadian school girls are more self-confident than boysC、school girls in Canada are confused about their rolesD、in Canada girls and boys achieve equal success at school43. Researchers in the United States found that when teachers asked questions, _______.A、they would first turned to boys for answersB、they wanted to raise the awareness of boysC、boys responded to them ImmediatelyD、girls avoided eye contact with teachers44. We can learn from the passage that girls' lack of self-confidence has led to _______.A、their misjudgment of their own success and failureB、boys’ misunderstanding of their superiorityC、their inability to achieve academic successD、boys’ blaming external factors for their failu res45. What is the best title of the passage?A、Male and Female Role Models.B、Puberty and Sex Difference.C、Girls, Boys, and Success.D、Sex Roles and Discrimination.Part III Fill in the blanks （选择填空）（（每小题1分，共10分））46.

Reading Comprehension (40 points)Directions:There are 4 passages in this part. Each passage is followed by 5 questions. For each question there are 4 choices marked A, B, C, and D. Please choose the best answer to the question.Passage OneVitamins are a group if substances found in food. The body needs them for life and health. So naturally, many people are concerned with the question: Am I getting enough vitamins. And am I getting the right kind?Even though very small amounts of each vitamin are enough for the needs of the body, that many people have not enough vitamins has some basis, and this has something to do with their diet— the food they take in. A person eating a good variety of foods gets all the vitamins now known to be needed, with the possible exception of D.The problem is that there are many people who don’t choose foods wisely, don’t get enough variety, and don’t eat the basic fo ods they need to get their vitamins. So the answer to this question is: No extra vitamins are needed, if you eat proper food. In fact, many of the vitamins can not be stored in the body, so when extra vitamins are taken in, the body simply gets rid of them, It is even harmful to put too much of certain vitamins into the body. This has been found to be true of vitamin A and D, when large amounts are taken in.What foods supply what vitamins? Here is a general idea. Vitamin A, for the health of the eyes, skin, teeth, and bones, is found in green vegetables, fruits, eggs, liver and butter. Vitamin B1, which helps the nervous and digestive systems and prevents certain diseases, is found in cereals, pork and liver. VitaminB2 is found in milk, eggs, green vegetables and meats. Vitamin C, which helps boned and teeth, is found in tomatoes, certain fruits and vegetables. These are only a few of the most important vitamins the body needs.21. Our body needs _________ for life and health.A. small amounts of each vitaminB. extra vitaminsC. all vitamins except vitamin DD. large amounts of certain vitamins22. Vitamin A is needed by _________ and can be found in _________.A. bones, porkB. nervous system, milkC. eyes, green vegetablesD. teeth, meats23. Vitamin B1 is very important to_________.A. the digestive systemB. bonesC. liverD. skin24. What will be the result if you take more vitamins than you really need?A. They will do great harm to our body.B. We get all the vitamins needed.C. Our body will function moreD. Our body simply gets rid of them.properly.25. The passage has probably been taken from_________.A. a sports magazineB. a journal of medical scienceC. an aged magazineD. a youth journalPassage TwoIdeal conditions for flying a kite are a large open space like field or a beach, and a steady wind, blowing from one direction, without any sudden gusts. Avoid spots such as clearings or river banks, where the wind is likely to change suddenly, Small kites will be much easier to launch in a gentle wind, and may well tear if the wind is too strong. Big kites on the other hand, will only take off in a reasonably strong wind. Stand with your back to the wind and un wind several meters of line, holding the kite at arm’s length and pulling on the line gently. With a larger kite, ask friend to help. He should stand a little way off, the kite held out in front of him and let go when you give the signal. A kite should never be thrown into the air, but simply released when the wind is strong enough to lift it.Be very careful how you handle your kite and try to avoid any sudden movement once it is in the air. If a particularly violent gust of wind causes it to lose height, unwind a little of the line. Never pull it along on the ground once it has come down, or you will tear it.If you want to bring kite down in a hurry, make the line fast or give it to someone to hold, put your arm over the line and run towards the kite. Always take a pair of scissors, some glue and two or three strips of crepe paper with you for on-the-spot repairs.Never fly a kite near a railway line or a busy road. If the kite comes down suddenly in front of a car, it may cause and accident. Never fly a kite in stormy weather because it could act as a lightning conductor (with you as the earth)!26. Where do people often fly kites?A. In a large open field with sudden gusts.B. In a large open area with a strong wind.C. In a large open space with a steady wind blowing fro one direction.D. At a beach with a gentle wind.27.

The underlined word “clearings” in the first paragraph probably means_________.A. open spacesB. large playing-groundsC. places for clearing thingsD. areas which are very clear29. According to the passage, how should we bring a kite down in a hurry?A. Pull the line gently and run towards the kite.B. Fix the line to a place, put the arm over the line and run towards the kite.C. Give the kite to someone to hold, put the arm over the line and run towards the kite.D. Pull the kite and wind the line fast.30. Which of the following can be inferred from the passage?A. Most people like to fly kites.B. Flying a kite near a railway line is dangerous.C. It is very difficult to find and ideal space for flying a kite.D. There are many ways in which people fly their kites.Passage ThreeMany people think that when they become rich and successful, happiness will naturally follow. Let me tell you that nothing is further from the truth. The world is full of very rich people who are as miserable as if they ere living in hell. We have read stories about movie stars who committed suicide or died from drugs. Quite clearly, money is not the only answer to all problems.Wealth obtained through dishonest means does not bring happiness. Lottery winnings do not bring happiness. Gambling winnings do not bring happiness. To my mind, the secret to happiness lies in your successful work, in your contribution towards others’ happiness and in luck or dishonest means, you will know that it is ill-gamed money. If you get your money by taking advantage of others or by hurting others, your wealth will not be happy with it. You will think you are a base person.Long-term happiness is based on honesty, productive work, contribution, and self-esteem. Happiness is not an end: It is a process. It is a continuous process of honest, productive work which makes a real contribution to others and makes you feel you are a useful, worthy person. As Dr. Wayne wrote, “Ther e is no way to happiness. Happiness is the way.” There is no use saying “Someday when I achieve these goals, when I get a car, build a house and own my own business, then I will be really happy.” Life just does not work that way. If you wait for certain things to happen and depend on the external circumstances of life to make you happy, you will always feel unfulfilled. There will always be something missing.31. The best title for this passage is______.A. What is HappinessB. HappinessC. Wealth and HappinessD. Process of Happiness32. According to this passage, which of the following statement is right?A. The richer you’re, the happier you’re.B. Wealth means happiness.C. Movie stars are happy.D. Rich people are not always happy.33.

Long-term happiness is based on the following except______.A. self-esteemB. contributionC. productive workD. lottery winnings35. According to the passage, a person feels happy when he______.A. gets a carB. builds a houseC. owns his own businessD. feels that he is a useful, worthy personPassage FourUnder normal conditions, the act of communication requires the presence of at leasttwo persons: one who sends and one who receives the communication. In order to communicate thoughts and feelings, there must be a conventional system of signs orsymbols that mean the same to the sender and the receiver.The means of communication are too numerous and varied for systematic classification; therefore, the analysis must begin with the means of receiving communication. Reception of communication is achieved by our senses. Sight, hearing, and touching seem to play themost important roles. Smell and taste play very limited roles, for they cannot receive intellectual expression from fully developed systems of sings and symbols.Examples of visual communication are gesture and imitation. Although both frequently accompany speech, there are systems that rely solely on sight, such as those used by deafand dumb persons. Another means of communicating visually is by signals of fire, smoke,flags, or flashing light. Feelings may be simply communicated by touch, such as by handshaking or backslapping, although a highly developed system of hand-stroking hasenabled blind, deaf, and dumb persons to communicate intelligently. Whistling to someone, applauding in a theater, and other forms of communication by sound rely upon the ear as areceiver. The most fully developed form of auditory communication is, of course, thespoken language.The means of communication mentioned so far have two features in common: they lastonly a short time, and the persons involved must be relatively close to each other. Therefore,all are restricted in time and space.36. Reception of communication ___________A. is more important than sending messagesB. depends on two personsC. involves use of the sensesD. play only limited roles37. Applauding is specifically mentioned as an example of __________.A. communication by soundB. gesture and imitationC. communication by sending a messageD. communication between the listener and speaker38. Persons who cannot see, hear, or speak are able to communicate through_________.A. gesturingB. handshakingC. smellingD. hand-stroking39. The author specifically mentions that speech is ____________ .A. often used when other means are impossibleB. necessary for normal communicationC. the only highly developed system of communicationD. the most developed form of communication based on hearing40. According to the passage means of communication __________.A. can develop quickly if there is enough time and space/B. all have the same featuresC. have some limitations even if they are fully developedD. depend on the persons involvedPart III Vocabulary and Structure (25 points)Section ADirections: There are 15 incomplete sentences in this part.

大一英语上学期期末考试试卷
2010级大学英语第一学期期末考试(A卷)Part II Reading Comprehension (30 %) Directions: There are four passages in this part. Each passage is followed by some questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A), B), C) andD). You should decide on the best choice and mark the corresponding letter on theAnswer Sheet with a single line through the center.Passage OneScience is not a set of unquestionable results but a way of understanding the world around us. Its real work is slow. The scientific method , as many of us learned in school, is a gradual process that begins with a purpose or problem or question to be answered. It includes a list of materials, a procedure to follow, a set of observations to make and, finally, conclusions to reach. In medicine, when a new drug is proposed that might cure or control a disease, it is first tested on a large random group of people, and their reactions are then compared with those of another random group not given the drug. All reactions in both groups are carefully recorded and compared, and the drug is evaluated. All of this takes time and patience.It’s the result of course, that makes the best news—not the years of quiet work that characterize the bulk of scientific inquiry. After an experiment is concluded or an observation is made, the result continues to be examined critically. When it is submitted for publication, it goes to a group of the scientist’s colleagues, who review the work. Einstein was right when he said: “No amount of experimentation can ever prove me right, a single experiment can at any time prove me wrong.”In August 1996, NASA announced the discovery in Antarctica of a meteorite（流星）from Mars that might contain evidence of ancient life on another world. As President Clinton said that day, the possibility that life existed on Mars billions of years ago was potentially one of the great discoveries of our time.After the excitement wore down and initial papers were published, other researchers began looking at samples from the same meteorite. Some concluded that the “evidence of life”was mostly contamination from Antarctic ice or that there was nothing organic at all in the rock.Was this a failure of science, as some news reports trumpeted?No! It was a good example of the scientific method working the way it is supposed to. Scientists spend years on research, announce their findings, and these findings are examined by other scientists. That’s how we learn. Like climbing a mountain, we struggle up three feet and fall back two. It’s a process filled with disappointments and reverses, but somehow we keep moving ahead.21. The author’s main purpose in writing this passage is to state that ____________.A) most scientific discoveries are not reliableB) mass media is misleading because it looks at the research results onlyC) scientific research is a process filled with reverses and requires slow and patientworkD) repeated experiments are necessary before medicine can be used in patients22. Publication of a scientific finding signifies __________.A) a challenge to fellow scientists to prove it wrongB) the end of a processC) the beginning of a new scientific inquiryD) the soundness of the result23. Einstein’s words are used to show that he thought___________.A) experiments have proved him rightB) scientists do not need so many experimentsC) one experiment is not enough to prove him wrong.D) scientific ideas are never free from challenge24. NASA’s announcement of the discovery of evidence of ancient life on Mars shows _________.A) the way human beings learn about natureB) the failure of the scientific methodC) the fruitlessness of human search for life on another worldD) the excitement brought by scientific findings25. It can be inferred from the passage that the media is interested in __________.A) the process of scientific researchB) the results of scientific researchC) the scientists who do the researchD) the effects of scientific research on human lifePassage TwoNormally a student must attend a certain number of courses in order to graduate, and each course which he attends gives him a credit which he may count towards a degree. In many American universities the total work for a degree consists of thirty-six courses each lasting for one semester. A typical course consists of three classes per week for fifteen weeks; while attending a university a student will probably attend four or five courses during each semester. Normally a student would expect to take four years attending two semesters each year. It is possible to spread the period of work for the degree over a longer period. It is also possible for a student to move between one university and another during his degree course, though this is not in fact done as a regular practice.For every course that he follows a student is given a grade, which is recorded, and the record is available for the student to show to prospective employers. All this imposes a constant pressure and strain of work, but in spite of this some students still find time for great activity in student affairs. Elections to positions in student organizations arouse much enthusiasm. The effective work of maintaining discipline is usually performed by students who advise the academicauthorities. Any student who is thought to have broken the rules, for example, by cheating has to appear before a student court. With the enormous numbers of students, the operation of the system does involve a certain amount of activity. A student who has held one of these positions of authority is much respected and it will be of benefit to him later in his career.26. Normally a student would at least attend __________classes each week.A) 36B) 12C) 20D) 1527. According to the first paragraph an American student is allowed _______.A) to live in a different universityB) to take a particular course in a different universityC) to live at home and drive to classesD) to get two degrees from two different universities28. American university students are usually under pressure of work because_________.A) their academic performance will affect their future careersB) they are heavily involved in student affairsC) they have to observe university disciplineD) they want to run for positions of authority29.Some students are enthusiastic for positions in student organizations probablybecause_________.A) they hate the constant pressure and strain of their studyB) they will then be able to stay longer in the universityC) such positions help them get better jobsD) such positions are usually well paid30. The student organizations seem to be effective in _________.A) dealing with the academic affairs of the universityB) ensuring that the students observe university regulationsC) evaluating students’ performance by bringing them before a courtD) keeping up the students’ enthusiasm for social activitiesPassage ThreeDoreen Sykora is now a junior at Mcgill University. She had a difficult time when she first began college. She said, “I was always well prepared for my examinations. But I would go in to class to take the exam, and I would fall apart. I could not answer the questions correctly-----even though I knew the answers! I would just blank out because of nervousness and fear.”Hitoshi Sakamoto, an anthropology student at Temple University in Tokyo reports similar experiences.These two young students were experiencing something called test anxiety. Because a student worries and is stressed about a test, his or her mind does not work as well as it usuallydoes. The student cannot write or think clearly because of the severe tension and nervousness.Now there are special university courses to help students. In these courses, advisors and psychologists try to help students by teaching them to manage test anxiety. Such a course helps students learn to live with stress and not fail because of it. First students take a practice test to measure their worry level. If the tests show that their stress level is high, the students can take a short course to manage the fear. These courses teach students how to relax their bodies. They get training to become calm in very tense situations. By controlling their nervousness, they can let their minds work more easily. Learned information then comes out without difficulty on a test.Doreen Sykora saw immediate results after taking such a course. She now has enthusiasm about the relaxation methods. “Mostly, what I do is imagine myself in a very calm place. Then I imagine myself picking up a pencil. I move slowly and carefully. I breathe easily and let all the tension out. With each breath, more worry leaves me. It really works too. My grades have improved greatly! I’m really doing well at McGill now. This relaxation method works not only on examinations, but it has improved the rest of my life as well.”For Hitoshi in Tokyo, the results were much the same. He is enjoying school a lot more and learning more.31. Doreen Sykora and Hitoshi Sakamoto were filled with nervousness and fear duringexaminations because they were__________.A) not ready and unaware of the answersB) physically so weak that they fell apartC) subject to test anxietyD) unable to write or think clearly32. The higher the students’ worry level is, __________.A) the less calm and relaxing they areB) the more difficult they will be trained to manage fearC) the more stressed and tense they areD) the longer courses they will take to manage fear33. What’s the purpose of some special university student-help courses?A) To help students to reduce test anxiety.B) To show a stress level experienced by students.C) To learn more knowledge about test anxiety.D) To have a better understanding of test anxiety.34. What’s the meaning of “blank out” in paragraph one?A) To be like a blanket.B) To be sure of an answer.C) To be relaxed.D) To be unable to think clearly.35.Which of the following best sums up the organization of the passage?A) Examples----theories----ideas.B) Problem----strategy----examples----results.C) General statement----examples----result.D) Strategy----experiment----examples.Part III Vocabulary and Structure (15 %) Directions: There are 30 incomplete sentences in this part.

The body needs them for life and health. So naturally, many people are concerned with the question: Am I getting enough vitamins, and am I getting the right kind 2 Even though very small amounts of each vitamin are enough for the needs of the body, that many people have not enough vitamins has some basis. And this has something to do with their diet — the food they take in. A person eating a good variety of foods gets all the vitamins now known to be needed with the possible exception of vitamin D. The problem is that there are many people who don’t choose foods wisely, don’t get enough variety, and don’t eat the basic foods they need to get their vitamins. So the answer to this question is: No extra vitamins are needed, if you eat proper food. In fact, many of the vitamins can not be stored in the body, so when extra vitamins are taken in, the body simply gets rid of them. It is even harmful to put too much of certain vitamins into the body. This has been found to be true of vitamin A and D, when large amounts are taken in. 3 What foods supply what vitamins Here is a general idea. Vitamin A, for the health of the eyes, skin, teeth, and bones, is found in green vegetables, fruits, eggs, liver and butter. Vitamin B1 which helps the nervous and digestive systems and prevents certain diseases, is found in cereals, pork and liver. Vitamin B2 is found in milk, eggs, green vegetables and meats. Vitamin C, which helps bones and teeth, is found in tomatoes, certainfruits and vegetables. These are only a few of the most important vitamins the body needs.1. Our body needs ___A___ for life and health.A) small amounts of each vitamin B) extra vitaminsC) all vitamins except vitamin D D) large amounts of certain vitamins2. C Vitamin A is needed by___C_ and can be found in ______.A) bones, pork B) nervous system, milkC) eyes, green vegetables D) teeth, meats3. A Vitamin B1 is very important to __A____.A) the digestive system B) bones C) liver D) skin4. What will be the result if you take more vitamins than you really need DA) They will do great harm to our body. B) We get all the vitamins needed.C) Our body will function more properly. D) Our body simply gets rid of them.5. The passage has probably been taken from _B_____.A) a sports magazine B) a journal of medical scienceC) an aged magazine D) a youth journalPassage Two1 Many centuries ago, a group of Jews (犹太人) landed in India and immediately went to the king. They told him that they were lost and wanted to settle in his kingdom.2 In those days any foreigner was viewed with suspicion (怀疑), so the king was hesitant about letting them in. He sent for one glass of milk and one glass of water. He asked the leader of the Jews to taste the milk. Then he poured out some milk and added some water. He asked the leader to taste the milk again and said, “What is the difference in taste ”3 The leader said, “The second time the milk tastes terrible.” “That is because of the water added to the milk,” said the king. “The water dilutes the milk and spoils its taste. So too your addition (加入) will spoil the kingdom.” The leader of the Jews thought for a moment and asked for another glass of milk. He then added sugar to the milk and asked the king to taste it. “It tastes sweet,” said the king.4 The leader of the Jews bowed his head and said, “Oh, king！That is how we would like to live here：as the small amount of sugar which sweetens the large quantity of milk and not as the water which dilutes the milk.” Pleased with him the king granted them permission to stay.6. The leader of the Jews went to the king because ___C_____ for life and health.A) they wanted to ask directions B) they wanted to drink some milk C) they wanted to live there D) they wanted to go through the kingdom7. Why was the king hesitant AA) Because he was suspicious of the foreigners.B) Because in those days any foreigner was viewed as a bad guy.C) Because he thought the Jews would rob them of their milk.D) Because Jews were not trusty.8. The king asked the leader of the Jews to taste the milk added with water just to show that __B______.A) the taste was terrible B) if the Jews joined them, they would destroy the countryC) the taste was different from the pure milk D) the taste was sweet9. The underlined word “dilutes” means _____D___.A) reduce B) weaken C) make less delicious D) make (a liquid) thinner by adding another liquid such as water10. The passage implies that the leader of the Jews was ____B____.A) humorous B) witty C) foolish D) unbelievablePassage Three1 Is it difficult for you to get up in the morning Do you sometimes oversleep Are you often late for work or school Yes Then Hiroyuki Sugiyama of Japan has a special bed for you. Hiroyuki’s bed will get you up in the morning! Here is how it works:2 The bed is connected to an alarm clock. First, the alarm clock rings. You have a few minutes to wake up. Next, a tape recorder in the bed plays soft music or other pleasant sounds. A few minutes later, a second recording plays. The second recording can be loud music or unpleasant sounds. If you don’t get up after the second recording, you’ll be sorry. A mechanical “foot” is in the bed. The mechanical foot kicks you in the head. Then the bed waits a few more minutes. What! You’re still in bed! Slowly, the top of the bed rises higher and higher. The foot of the bed goes lower and lower. Finally, the bed is vertical. You slide off the bed and onto the floor. You are awake and out of bed.3 Hiroyuki made his bed because he wanted to win a contest. He works for Honda Motor Company. Once every two years, Honda has a contest—the “All Honda Idea Contest”. In 1996 Hiroyuki won a prize for his bed.11. The purpose of the passage is ____A____.A) to introduce a special bed B) to tell a storyC) to wake somebody up D) to praise Hiroyuki12.

B) The bed becomes vertical and you slide off the bed.C) The tape recorder plays pleasant sounds. D) You will be late for work.14. Why did Hiroyuki make such a special bed AA) Because he wanted to win the contest held by his company. B) Because he was good at inventing new things.C) Because he wanted to make money. D) Because he sometimes overslept.15. Who is Hiroyuki BA) A scientist. B) A company worker. C) An inventor. D) A carpenter.Passage 41 Each of us fails from time to time. If we are wise, we accept these failures as a necessary part of the learning process. But all too often as parents and teachers we deny this same right to our children. We tell them that failure is something to be ashamed of, that nothing but top performance will meet with our approval.2 When I see a child subject to this kind of pressure, I think of Donnie, my youngest third-grader，he was a shy, nervous perfectionist. His fear of failure kept him from classroom games that other children played with joyous abandon. He seldom answered questions — he might be wrong. Written assignments, especially math, reduced him to nail-biting frustration. He seldom finished his work because he repeatedly checked with me to be sure he hadn't made a mistake3 I tried my best to build his self-confidence. But nothing changed until midterm, when Mary Anne, a student teacher, was assigned to our classroom. She was young and pretty, and she loved children. My pupils, Donnie included, adored her. But even enthusiastic, loving Mary was baffled by this little boy who feared of making mistake.4 Then one morning we were working math problems at the blackboard. Donnie had copied the problems with painstaking neatness and filled in answers for the first row. Pleased with his progress, I left the children with Mary Anne and went for art materials. When I returned, Donnie was in tears. He'd missed the third problem.5 Mary looked at me in despair. Suddenly her face brightened. From the desk we shared, she got a canister of pencils.6 “Look, Donnie,” she said, kneeling beside him and gently lifting the tear-stained face from his arms. She placed the pencils on his desk. “See these pencils, Donnie ” she continued. “They belong to Mrs. Lindstrom and me. See how the erasers are worn That's because we make mistakes too, lots of them. But we erase the mistakes and try again. That’s what you must learn to do, too.”7 She kissed him and stood up. “Here,” she said, “I’ll leave one pencil to you so you’ll remember that everybody makes mistakes, even teachers.” Donnie looked up with love in his eyes and just a glimmer of a smile.8 The pencil became Donnie’s prize. That, together with Mary Anne’s frequent encouragement and unfailing praise for even Donnie’s small successes, gradually persuaded him that it’s all right to make mistakes — as long as you erase them and try again.16. In the author’s opinion, we should consider failures _C_______.A) a shame 可耻的 B) mistakes错误的 C) acceptable 可接受的 D) accessible方便的17. Donnie is a perfectionist, which means he __A______.A) cannot afford any mistakes B) often makes mistakes C) is always perfect D) seldom makes any mistakes18. Mary Anne was puzzled by Donnie because __D______.A) he bit his nails B) he adored her C) he made mistakes in math problems D) his fear of making mistakes19. Mary changed Donnie after ___A_____.A) giving him a pencil B) kneeling beside him and lifting his face from his armsC) persuading him that it’s ok to make mistakesD) erasing his mistakes20. This article tells us that __D______.A) the influence of a teacher is important to a student老师的影响是重要的一个学生B) there are growing pains in a student’s life这是一个学生的生命成长的烦恼C) you should erase your mistakes and try again你应该删除你的错误并再次尝试D) making mistakes is not such a big deal, as long as you try again 犯错并不是什么大不了的，只要你再试试。

(each of the question 5 points, 25 points total)Hair loss is one of those things we still do not understand. Science has, of course, shown that men are more likely than women to suffer major hair loss. Some kinds of hair loss are temporary (暂时的), an effect of illness. In those cases we can expect the hair to grow back.It all depends on whether the hair root is alive. If it is not, hair loss is permanent and nothing will help.Some daily loss of hair is a normal, healthy sign. Most people lose between 40 to 50 scalp hairs each day.Each of these scalp hairs grows for from two to six years and then rests. About three months later it is pushed out by a new hair growing from the same root.This is not something that should cause great concern.Something else we know is that normal hair loss is seasonal, with the most hair loss occurring in the fall. Everyone experiences a normal cycle of loss and growth.The problem of hair loss results when loss is greater than growth.The main cause of hair loss in men seems to be accumulation (积累) of a hormone (荷尔蒙) in the body. When that hormone reaches a certain level, the hair growing period is shortened and hair loss is the result. Thisis no cure for most cases of hair loss. This, however, is not the end of the world.1.
