成人本科学士学位英语统一考试2007.11.17 (A 卷)一阅读理解Passage 1Scientists find that hard-working people live longer than average men and w omen. Career women are healthier than housewives. Evidence shows that the joble ss are in poorer health than jobholders. An investigation shows that whenever t he unemployment.Why is work good for health? It is because work keeps people busy away from loneliness. Researches show that people feel unhappy, worried and lonely when they have nothing to do. Instead, the happiest are those who are busy. (79)Many high achievers who love their careers feel that they are happiest when they ar e working hard. Work serves as a bridge between man and reality. By work people come into with each other. By collective activity they find friendship and war mth. This is helpful to health. The loss of work means the loss of everything. It affects man spiritually and makes him ill.Besides, work gives one a sense of fulfillment and a sense of achievement. Word makes one feel his value and status in society. When a writer finishes his writing or a doctor successfully operates on a patient or a teacher sees his s tudents grow, they are happy beyond words.(80)From the above we can come to the conclusion that the more you work the happier and healthier you will be. Let us work hard and study and live a happy and healthy life.1.The underlined word “average ” in Paragraph I means __ . CA.healthyB. lazyC. ordinaryD. poor2.The reason why housewives are not as healthy as career women is that ___ ___. CA.housewives are poorer than career womenB.housewives have more children than career womenC.housewives have less chance to communicate with othersD.housewives eat less food than career women3.Which of the following statements is TRUE according to Paragraph 2? DA.Busy people have nothing to do at home.B.High achievers don ' t care about their families.C.There is no friendship and warmth at home.D. A satisfying job helps to keep one healthy.4.We can infer from the passage that those who do not work . AA.are likely to live a shorter lifeB.will lose everything at homeC.can live as long as those who workD.have more time to make new friends5.The best title for this passage may be . BA.People Should Find a JobB.Working Hard Is Good for HealthC.People Should Make More Friends by WorkD.The Loss of Word Means the Loss of EverythingPassage 2A study of art history might be a good way to learn more about a culture t han is possible to learn in general history classes. Most typical history cours es concentrate on politics, economics and war. But art history focuses on much more than this because art reflects not only the political values of a people, but also religious beliefs, emotions and psychology. In addition, information a bout thedaily activities of our ancestors can be provided by art. (78) In shor t, art expresses the essential qualities of a time and a place, and a study of it clearly offers us a deeper understanding than can be found in most history b ooks.In history books, objective information about the political life of a coun try is presented; that is, facts about politics are given, but opinions are not expressed. Art, on the other hand, is subjective(主观的): it reflects emotions and opinions. The great Spanish painter Francisco Goya was perhaps the first t ruly “ political ” artist. In his well -known painting The Third of May , 1808, h e criticized the Spanish government for its abuse (滥用) of power over people.In the same way, art can reflect a culture ' s religious beliefs. For hundreds of years in Europe, religious art had been almost the only type of art that existed. Churches and other religious buildings were filled with paintings that described people and stories from the Bible. Although most people couldn ' t read, they could still understand the Bible stories in the pictures on church wal ls. By contrast, one of the main characteristics of art in the Middle East was (andstill is) its absence of human and animal images. This reflects the Islami c belief that statues (雕像) are not holy.6.More can be learned about a culture from a study of art history than general history because ___. CA.art history shows us nothing but the political valuesB.general history only focuses on politicsC.art history gives us an insight (洞察力) into the essential qualities o f a time and a placeD.general history concerns only religious beliefs, emotions and psycholog y7.Art is subjective in that . AA. a personal and emotional view of history is presented through itB.it only reflects people ' s anger or sadness about social problemsC.it can easily arouse people ' s anger about their governmentD.artists were or are religious, who reflect only the religious aspect of the society8.Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the passage? CA.In history books political views of people are entirely presented.B.Francisco Goya expressed his religious belief in his painting The Third of May, 1808C.In the Middle East, you can hardly find animal or human figures on pala ces or other building.D.For centuries in Europe, painters had only painted on walls of churches or other religious buildings.9 The passage mainly discusses . BA.the development of art historyB.he difference between general history and art historyC.what we can learn from artD.the influence of artists on art history10.It can be concluded from the passage that . CA.Islamic artists only paint images of plants, flowers or objects in thei r paintingsB.it is more difficult to study art history than general historyC. a history teacher must be quite objectiveD.artists painted people or stories from the Bible to hide their politica l beliefsPassage 3Blind people can “ see” things by using other parts of their bodies. Thisfact may help us to understand our feelings about color. If blind people can se nse color differences, then perhaps we, too, are affected by color unconsciousl y(无意识地)。

On your way, you may feel coordinated and enjoy your hands-free phone talking while driving. But recent studies suggest that it isn't the dialing or the arm waving that makes driving whiletalking on a cell phone dangerous. It is the yakking itself or more precisely, tile continuous conversation with someone who isn't present- that makes. David Strayer, a Utah psychologist, says "Y our driving performance while talking on a cell phone is weakened at levels comparable to, or worse than, driving with a blood alcohol level of 0.08," which is the legal limit in most states of America.Using a driving-training simulator, Strayer and his colleagues compared the attention levels and response time of 110 drivers in various situations. In dense traffic, cell phone users were about 20 percent slower to respond to sudden hazards than other drivers, and they were about twice as likely to drive into the back of a braking car in front of them. "Cell phone drivers are obtaining less than 50 percent of the visual information that non-cell drivers are getting," says Strayer, "Looking and seeing are not one and the same." By contrast, the researchers found that listening to the radio or conversing with passengers is not as hazardous. "When a dangerous situation arises, the driver and passengers put their conversation on pause," Strayer says.Whether talking with a passenger or someone on a cell phone, however, people are less able to recall the details of a conversation carried on while driving. "So it might not be good for your economic health to discuss investment strategies with your agent while either of you is driving." Strayer adds lastly.16. According to the recent studies, which of the following makes driving dangerous?A. A cell phone dialing by the driver.B. The driver's endless arm waving.C. The driver's continuous cell phone talking.D. The absence of another phone speaker.17. Which of the following does Strayer want to stress most?A. The driving performance may be weakened by a cell phone talking.B. The driving performance may be affected by a high blood alcohol level.C. Drivers are not to drive over the cell phone or after drinking.D. A cell phone talking is no less hazardous than alcohol in driving.18. The experiment shows all the following EXCEPT that .A. the cell phone drivers get less than half of the visual informationB. the cell phone drivers are twice as likely to hit the front carsC. the cell phone drivers' response to sudden dangers is slowerD. the 110 drivers were reluctant to take part in the experiments19. Strayer discourages drivers from talking, about business on cell phones while driving because .A. they tend to forget the details of a conversationB. both the driver and his agent happen to be drivingC. it might not be good for the driver's memoryD. the other passengers would overhear the conversation20. It can be inferred that the author's attitude toward cell phone yakking is .A. approvingB. disapprovingC. encouragingD. indifferentPassage TwoIt's no great surprise that Bill Gates has decided to walk away from his day-to-day involvement with Microsoft, and use his full attention to oversee how the Bill Gates Foundation spends its $16 billion on philanthropy, or charity. But Gates is not the first one to follow the path. Ever since the Industrial Revolution, wealthy self-made businessmen and businesswomen .have felt a calling to create a legacy that goes beyond aprofit and loss sheet. The saying "He who dies rich, dies disgraced" runs deeply through the business community.But out of all the great philanthropists, Mr. Gates' career path appears to be closest to the oil millionaire John Rockefeller. Both were self-made men and both became the richest men on the planet. Rockefeller was in his late fifties when he turned his attention full time to philanthropy--creating vast charitable foundations to promote health and education. Now Gates says he will do the same in his early fifties. "With great wealth comes great responsibility," he adds.Like Gates, many philanthropists do not want to pass on too much wealth to their children. They want them to be comfortable, with a nice house and some money in trust for their grandchildren. But they don't want to leave them millions and millions because they know how important it is for them to make their own way. In Britain, for instance, the newspaper rich lists are increasingly dominated by self-made millionaires, rather than inherited wealth. New money is less likely to be tied up in assets, making it ripe for philanthropy.The appearance of the welfare state also had a great impact on attitudes to philanthropy. The state was saying it would take over much of the role of what was once regarded as the responsibility of private philanthropists.21. Bill Gates has done all the following EXCEPT .A. abandoning his career with Microsoft's daily businessB. devoting the rest of his life to philanthropic causesC. leaving his children enough money for a comfortable lifeD. defying John Rockefeller in creating charitable foundations22. The saying "He who dies rich, dies disgraced" properly means that .A. the wealthy people should give away their fortunes after deathB. the wealthy people should feel ashamed for their assetsC. the wealthy people should abandon their careers for charitiesD. it is shameful for the wealthy people to keep their wealth till death23. Gates and Rockefeller are similar in that .A. both of them inherited their wealthB. their career paths are exactly the sameC. both decided to devote to charity in their fiftiesD. both made their fortunes in the same way24. Many wealthy people don't want to leave too much behind mainly because .A. it is not easy for them to make their fortunesB. they want their children to make their own wayC. they just wish their children to have a comfortable lifeD. they hope to gain reputation by donating their wealth25. The chief reason why philanthropy has come into a good stage is that .A. the new money is less likely to be regarded as one's private wealthB. Gates will devote his full attention to philanthropyC. the welfare state would take over all the charity responsibilitiesD. many new millionaires are self-made rather than inheritedPassage ThreeIn 1991, when announced to be HIV positive, "Magic" Johnson became the face of a disease that the public still had a lot to learn about. The basketball star established the Magic Johnson Foundation that yearand took a leading role on the public relations and fund-raising fronts in the fight against HIV and AIDS. Fifteen years later, there is still more work to do."A lot of times, what happens is that the poster's not enough," Johnson says, motioning to his likeness on the blackboard behind him. "So I have to get out and tell them myself, like I’m doing here today." Johnson is now talking to an assembly at Boys and Girls High School in his neighborhood of Brooklyn, N. Y. The crowd is a few hundred students in a mostly black, working-class neighborhood. Thus event is the fourth of a 10-city speaking tour that is organized for minority communities.According to drug maker Abbot, half of the more than one million Americans living with HIV are black. African-American men are being diagnosed with the disease at a rate 10 times as high as that of white men. For women, the situation is even worse. The rate of diagnosis for African-American women is 23 times as high as that for their white counterparts."Right now, we don't have a solution on how to combat it, so we're trying to do some different things than what has happened before," Johnson says.Getting the word out is what draws Johnson to black neighborhood high schools such as this one, and the message he brings with him is a practical one. "The safest sex is no sex," he says. "But, in reality, we know only a certain number of people are going to hear that. Then I hit them with ' Hey. if you're going to do it, you've got to protect yourself and your partner. '"Hopefully, by talking realistically instead of avoiding the issues, Johnson can help make the next generation of African-Americans less likely to have HIV and AIDS. "Just try to be real with them," he says. "They appreciate that."26. The phrase "disease that the public still had a lot to learn about" here means a disease that .A. was already well-known thenB. was too complicated for peopleC. was still too new to be understoodD. killed too many victims then27. According to the passage, the group with the highest AIDS rate is .A. the white AmericansB. African-American menC. the American womenD. the black American women28. The speaker is named "Magic" Johnson because .A. he was once a famous basketball coachB. he was a happy survivor of the unhappy diseaseC. he was given chance to talk of his own experienceD. he was a very practical and realistic person in life29. The word "combat" (Paragraph 4) is closest in meaning to .A. come backB. combineC. fight againstD. avoid30. What is the purpose of Johnson's speech tour?A. To take himself as an example in fighting the disease.B. To raise the awareness of young Americans against the disease.C. To provide a better cure for the black American HIV sufferers.D. To try some new medical solutions on the HIV and AIDS sufferers.Passage FourOnce upon a time all you needed for a camping trip was a sleeping bag, a compass and some common sense. Now, according to my local sporting goods retailer, a lot more should be added. However, outdoor travel has become such a trend that urban people find themselves with some upscale retailers to address theirevery desire."Eco" and "adventure" are the latest fashionable words in destination travel; those in the industry know they can make serious cash off all the consumers. These are consumers who get outdoors not for nature's sake, but to work out simply for a splendid cocktail party.As a result of high-end demand, the great outdoors is becoming less affordable and accessible for ordinary people. Our national parks used to be vast acres of wilderness where people could go and enjoy nature, for free. But over the past 100 years, the government has been slowly selling or leasing off public lands for profit, and our current president is continuing the trend. Large ski resorts have swallowed up plenty of wilderness and small towns in the West by attracting more high-end businesses. Nature is now a commodity that can be repackaged and sold to the wealthy developers. As for the small amount of public land left, well, try to remember the last time you camped at a state park for free.The Joneses and everyone trying to keep up with them want a piece of the outdoors, but only with creature comforts included. The rest of us are being slowly priced out of nature. Pretty soon my tent and sleeping pack will be out of date; since camping will mean a luxury yurt with skylights for star-gazing. If this is what signifies experiencing nature in the new millennium, then Thoreau must be rolling in his grave.31. According to the author, outdoor travel has now become .A. less needed for the urban residentsB. an uncontrolled trend for city dwellersC. an ever more attractive interest for urban peopleD. so economical that most urban people can afford it32. The phrase "make serious cash off all the consumers" (Paragraph 2) means “”.A. make consumers deposit all their money into bankB. cause the consumers to use up all their moneyC. make all the consumers cash their money in the bankD. make a careful plan to attract as many consumers as possible33. Paragraph 2 is written to .A. introduce the nature's change of the outdoor travel todayB. criticize the outdoor campers for their waste of moneyD. describe the difference of outdoor camping today and what it was beforeD. imply the strong influence of the consuming society on the outdoor travel34. The author believes that .A. the government is right to sell or lease public lands to wealthy developersB. public lands shouldn't have been sold or leased to individuals for profitsC. nature should be left for wide public to enjoy rather than to rentD. the outdoor campers should be more clear-minded in spending money35. What can ordinary city dwellers do if the current outdoor travel trend continues?A. They can do nothing but give up their outdoor travel.B. They would feel angry and protest against the ill-trend.C. The government and the industry may change their attitude.D. Fewer and fewer urban people will make their seasonal outdoor travel.Part III V ocabulary and Structure (20 points)36.

The rubber squares are up to three times more expensive than concrete squares but 77 longer, because tree roots and freezing weather won't crack them. That, 78 , could reduce the number of slip-and-fall complaints made 79 uneven pavements. The shock-absorbing surface also happens to be easier on the joints of slow runners and more forgiving when someone slips or falls. And the rubber sidewalks are considered more environmentally friendly. They 80 a way to recycle some of the estimated 290 million tires 81 out each year in the United States, and they do not restrict tree roots the way concrete squares 82 . Since 2001, a company, Rubbersidewalks, has been grinding thousands of old tires into small pieces, 83 sticky substances and baking the material into sidewalk sections that weigh less than eleven pounds a square foot, or a quarter of the weight of concrete. The rubber squares are now 84 in two colors of gray and orange. The District of Columbia has spent about $ 60,000 to replace broken concrete with the rubber squares here and there in a residential 85 northeast of the Capital.76. A. of B. on C. by D. for77.

Different people have different answers of this question. Some like Movie Stars, while others like Sports Stars, I myself prefer Sports Stars to Movie Stars.Although Movie Stars and Sports Stars are both public figures to ordinary people, although they are both wealthy, although Movie Stars are more popular than Sports Stars, I still like Sports Stars best, because on the one hand, they create a kind of sport spirit characterized with openness, fairness, justice. On the other hand, Sports Stars usually have a strong will and never-give-up determination in their careers; take World Table Tennis Championship Miss Deng Y aping as an example, her hard work and determination to success helped her overcome many disadvantages, her brilliant achievements have definitely proved that height was nothing but hard work was everything.So far as Sports Stars are concerned, I think they are such kind of persons who are worthy of recognition, who I look up to when it comes to the game. Sports Stars are examples that whatever my dream will be, it is possible to become just as what it might be. And whatever my goal will be, I can only reach it with a little hard work, effort, and commitment.。

Jack was just going to turn back when he saw something moving in the smoke. He waited. It was a girl on a horse, and she was riding towards him. “There’s a badly burnt man on the farm,”the girl shouted. “He saved my life. Please help me to save him.”The girl was Cathy Henderson. She had been on horseback for two hours. She had to jump over fallen trees that were still burning. Her pony had fallen with her twice. She was thirsty and almost dead from want of sleep. But she rode back to the farm with Jack immediately.Joe Brook was unconscious when they reached him. They lifted him onto Jack’s horse. The ride back to Borrogee was terrible. Cathy was so tired that Jack had to tie her to her pony. The pony was tired too, but its courage was astonishing. It followed Jack right to Borrogee Hospital. Nobody saw them arrive because it was night.“I’ve never seen a horse like that pony,”Jack said. Cathy praised Jack Billabong, but she refused to say anything about the pony, “Joe will write about her in his story,”she said.But she did say one thing: “If flame hadn’t returned to the farm that afternoon, Joe and I would have died.”16.

Dr. Aiken studied a number of couples who had been married for at least twenty-five years. Each couple provided four photographs—one photo of each partner at the time of their marriage and another photo of each partner twenty-five or more years later. All background was cut from the photos to remove any clues. The photos were then displayed in groups: a random grouping of the persons at the time of their marriageand another random grouping of the same persons who took photographs later. Some testees were asked to pick out the partners. They failed totally with the first group. Their judgements were no better than chance. But with the photos taken twenty-five or more years after the marriage, the testees were quite successful with the most happily-married couples.Dr. Aiken believes there are several reasons why couples grow alike. One reason has something to do with imitation. One person tends to copy or do the same as someone else without knowing it. He says human begins to imitate the expressions of the faces of their loved ones. “Another possible reason,”he says, “is the common experience of the couples.”There is a tendency for people who have the same life experience to change their faces in similar ways. For example, if a couple have suffered from a lot of sad experiences, their faces are likely to change in a similar way.21. Dr. Aiken cut the background from the photos for the purpose of __________.A. imitating the couples’lifeB. grouping the couples againC. leaving no trace for the testeesD. giving the testees more chances22. The underlined sentence “Their ju dgements were no better than chance”implies that the testees __________.A. did a good job in making their choices.B. had difficulty in picking out the partnersC. had no chance to make the right judgementsD. did better with the first group than with the second23. The underlined word “imitate”(in Para. 2) has a similar meaning to __________.A. copyB. changeC. knowD. suffer24. From the passage we can draw the conclusion that___________.A. couples who look alike can live longerB. most partners have been proved to grow alikeC. the influence between partners can be quite strongD. happily-married couples are often richer than others25. The main purpose of the passage is to ___________.A. explain why couples grow alikeB. tell how couples like each otherC. discuss the function of marriageD. describe the life of happily married couplesPassage ThreeThe three biggest lies in America are: (1) “The check is i n the mail”, (2) “Of course I’ll respect you in the mornin g”, and (3) “It was a computer error.”Of these three little white lies, the worst is the third. It’s the only one that can never be true. T oday, if a bank state ment cheats you out of $ 900 that way, you know what the clerk is sure to say,”It was a computer error.”Nonsense.The computer is reporting nothing more than what the clerk typed into it.The most annoying case of all is when the computerized cashier in the grocery store shows that an item costs more than it actually does. If the innocent buyer points out the m istake, the checker, bagger, and manager all come together and offer the familiar explanation: “It was a compute error.”It wasn’t, of course that computerized cashier is really n othing more than an electric event. The eye reads the Unive rsal Product Code—chat bar of black and white lines in a c orner of the package—and then checks the code against a price list stored in memory. If the price list is right, you’ll b e charged accurately.Grocery stores update the price list each day—that is, so mebody sits at a keyboard and types in the prices. If the pr ice they type in is too high, there are only two explanations: carelessness or dishonesty. But somehow “a computer erro r”is supposed to excuse everything.One reason we let people hide behind a computer is the common misperception that huge, modern computers are e lectric brain with “artificial intelligence.”At some point ther e might be a machine with intelligence but none exists toda y. The smartest computer on Earth right now is no more int elligent than your average pen. At this point in the develop ment of computers, the only thing any machine can do is w hat a human has instructed it to do.26. Of the three lies, the one about computer is the wors t because the computer itself __________.A. says nonsenseB. cheats customersC. cannot make the errorD. does not admit its error27. According to the author, a computerized cashier is re ally just ___________.A. a machine to count moneyB. a machine to receive m oneyC. an instrument to print codesD. an instrument to read codes28. Grocery store price lists are updated by ____________.A. a computerB. a keyboardC. an employeeD. an electr ic brain29. The last paragraph of the passage implies that compu ters ____________.A. are very cleverB. never make mistakesC. have a good memoryD. are controlled by men30. Which of the following describes the main idea of the passage?A. Computers are stupid and inefficient.B. Computer errors are due to its dishonesty.C. Computers help stores update the price list.第5/9页D. Computer errors are actually human errors.Passage FourI came across an old country guidebook the other day. It listed all the tradesmen in each village, and it was impressi ve to see the past variety of services which were available o n one’s own doorstep in the late Victorian countryside.Nowadays a traveler in rural England might conclude that the only village tradesmen still flourishing were either sellin g frozen food to the villagers or selling antiques to visitors. Nevertheless, this would really be a false impression. On the surface, there has been a decline of village commerce, but its power is still remarkable.Our local grocer’s shop, for example, is actually expandi ngin spite of the competition from supermarkets in the nea rest town. Women sensibly prefer to go there and exchange the local news while doing their shopping, instead of queuing up at a supermarket. And the grocer knows well that pe rsonal service has a considerable cash value.His prices may be a bit higher than those in the town, b ut he will deliver anything at any time. His assistants think nothing of bicycling down the village street in their lunch h our to take a piece of cheese to an old retired woman who sent her order by word of mouth with a friend who happe ned to be passing. The richer customers telephone their sho pping lists and the goods are on their doorsteps within an hour. They have only to hint at a fancy for some commodit y outside the usual stock and the grocer, a red faced-figure, instantly obtains it for them.31. Nowadays the commercial services in the village are _ ___________.A. still very activeB. quickly decliningC. unable to flourishD. personal to visitors32. The local grocer’s shop is expanding because ________ _____.A. the competition there is weakB. it is a place for wom en to chatC. it provides good personal serviceD. the goods there a re more valuable33. Which of the following is true about the supermarket s?A. Prices there are much higherB. Customers often have to queue up.C. Customers can order by telephone.D. Their personal s ervices are satisfactory.34. How do the village grocer’s assistants feel about givi ng extra service?A. They don’t think it a trouble.B. They don’t think it worthwhile.C. They don’t consider it a good deal.D. They do n’t c onsider it a pleasant experience.35. One special feature of the village shop is that ________ ___.A. there is a very wide range of goods availableB. customers can order goods by word of mouthC. customer have to order goods one hour earlierD. there is a list of goods to be delivered to doorstepsPart III Vocabulary and Structure (20 points)Directions: There are 40 incomplete sentences 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 on the Answer Sheet with a single line through the centre.72.Passage 1Question 51 to 55 are based on the following passage:Censorship (审查制度) is for the good of society as a whole. Imagine what chaos there would be if we lived in a society without laws. Like the law, censorship contributes to the common good.Some people think that it is disgraceful that a censor should interfere with works of art. Who is this person, they say, to ban this great book or cut that great film No one can set himself up as a superior being. But we must remember two things. Firstly, where genuine works of art are concerned, modern censors are extremely liberal in their views----often far more liberal than a large section of the public. Artistic merit is something which censors clearly recognize. And secondly, we must bear in mind that the great proportion of books, plays and films which come before the censor are very far from being "works of art".When discussing censorship, therefore, we should not confine our attention to great masterpieces, but should consider the vast numbers of publications and films which make up the bulk (大部分) of the entertainment industry. When censorship laws are relaxed, dishonest people are given a licence to produce virtually anything in the name of "art". There is an increasing tendency to equate "artistic" with "pornographic" (色情的).So one of the great things that censorship does is to prevent certain people from making fat profits by corrupting the minds of others. Society would really be poorer if it deprived itself of the wise counsel and the restraining influence which a censor provides.51.A censor's duty is ____.52.A) to see there is no filthy content in publications or films53.B) to ban books and cut films54.C) to distinguish works of art from others55.D) to make sure that no licence is given to dishonest people56. people are against censorship for the reason that ____.57.A) censorship is not consistent with the ideals of democracy58.B) censors prevent people from making profits59.C) censors are conservative and cannot appreciate artistic merit60.D) censorship limits the way people feel and think61. the writer says "to equate 'artistic' which 'pornographic', he means ____.62.A) there is no clear distinction between what is artistic and what is pornographic63.B) masterpieces are sometimes offensive to decency64.C) many pornographic works will be published in the name of art65.D) artistic works and pornographic works have the same market value66. to the writer, a society free from censorship ____.67.A) would be poor materially68.B) would expose its people to dangers of being corrupted69.C) could not develop its entertainment industry70.D) would allow only a small section of people to make profits71. the following are the writer's views except that ____.72.A) censors are fully qualified for their job73.B) masterpieces even with pornographic content are still masterpieces74.C) society will not do without censorship75.D) many books, plays and films are not works of art76.Passage 277.Question 56 to 60 are based on the following passage:78.A few weeks ago I was talking to a school inspector in one of the more fashionable districts of Paris. She astonished me by saying that if she had young children today, she'd probably send them to a private school. She had devoted 25 years of her life to the ideal of free public education, she said, but the truth was the state system was in a mess.79.There are two main problems: State schools in France have to accept whatever teachers are assigned to them by the Ministry of Education. As my school inspector friend put it, "one year a school may be excellent; three or four years later, half the teachers may be incapable!" That is not very reassuring if you're a parent. Private schools can choose their own teachers.80.The other problem is discipline or, rather, the lack of it. Not long ago a school in Birmingham made headlines in Britain because the teachers were being terrorized by their pupils. In the desolate suburbs of low-cost apartment blocks, thrown together in the 1960s on the outskirts of most big French cities, such stories are commonplace. Vandalism(破坏他人财产的行为), drug-taking and extortion aren't limited to schools in poor areas either. A recent poll found that 88 per cent of French children rate as the biggest problem of their school lives the prevalence (流行, 猖獗)of factions and gangs which spend all their time fighting one another. Small wonder, then, that the private schools, with their emphasis on traditional values, are undergoing a new surge of popularity (despite disapproval from France's new socialist leaders), and competition to get into the best of them has now become intense.81. French school inspector has long been a supporter of ____.82.A) compulsory education B) free private education83.C) private schools D) the state school system84. French state education system ____.85.A) does not guarantee the competence of teachers B) seems to have no serious difficulties86.C)is running smoothly D) promises to maintain high standards87. schools in France today ____.88.A) are generally undergoing changes for the worse89.B) enjoy the prestige(声望) of becoming the place to send one's children to90.C) have become victims of vandalism91.D) never hire teachers who stress traditional values92. of discipline among students is rampant in state schools ____.93.A) in the Paris slums, but not in other areas94.B) noticeably and solely in the poorer areas in French cities95.C) almost everywhere in France96.D) rather restricted to Birmingham97. children who wish to go to the best private schools can do so by ____.98.A) taking highly competitive examinations B) simply sending in applications99.C) joining factions and gangs D) drawing lots100.PartⅢCloze ( 10 points, 15 minutes )101.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 th e best fits into the passage. Then mark the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet with a single line through the cettre.102.Today vegetables, fish, fruit, meat and beer are canned in enormous quantities. Within three generations the 81 habits of millions have been revolutionized. Foods that were previously 82 may now be eaten at any time, and strange foods are 83 far from the countries where they are 84 . The crops many farmers now produce often depend on the nearness of a canning factory.103.The first stage in the canning 85 is the preparation of the raw food. Diseased and waste portions are thrown 86 ; meat and fish are cleaned and trimmed; fruit and vegetables washed and graded for 87 . The jobs are principally 88 by machine. 104.The next stage, for vegetables only, is soak in very 89 or boiling water for a short time to remove air and 90 the vegetable. This makes 91 easier to pack into cans for sterilization (free from living germs).Some packing machines fill 92 to 400 cans a minute. Fruit, fish and meat are packed raw and cold into cans, and then all the air is removed. 93 the cans are sealed, the pressure inside each can is only about half the pressure of the outside air.105.The sterilization process which follows the cans are subjected 94 steam or boiling water, with the temperature and time 95 according to the type of food. Cans of fruit, for example, 96 only 5-10 minutes in boiling water, 97 meat and fish are cooked at higher temperatures for 98 period. After sterilization, the cans are cooled quickly to 32 degree to prevent the contents 99 becoming too soft.106.The final stage before sending off to the grocer is labeling, and packing the tins into boxes. Nowadays, however, labeling is often printed on in 100 by the can-maker and no paper labels are then required.107. eat B) eatable C) eaten D) eating108. monthly B) year-round C) seasonal D) quarterly109. accessible B) obtained C) available D) usable110. planting B) grown C) growing D) producing111. process B) reaction C) procession D) program112. about B) away C) down D) up113. size B) length C) height D) breadth114. had B) fulfilled C) pocked D) done115. chilly B) cold C) hot D) freezing116. soften B) cook C) steam D) harden117. them B) it C) us D) that118. up B) down C) in D) on119.

A) fashion B) before hand C) advance D) practice127.Part IV English-Chinese Translation (20 points, 15 minutes)128.Directions: In this part, there are six items which you should translate into Chinese, each item consisting one or more sentences. They are all taken from the reading passage you have just read.129.① (line 1-3, para. 3, passage 1 ) When discussing censorship, therefore, we should not confine our attention to great masterpieces, but should consider the vast numbers of publications and films which make up the bulk (大部分) of the entertainment industry.130.② (line 2-3, para. 2, passage 2 ) As my school inspector friend put it, "one year a school may be excellent; three or four years later, half the teachers may be incapable!"131.③ (line 5-7, para. 2, passage 3 ) He must serve as a man responsible for the fortune he has earned and use that fortune to provide greater opportunity for all and to increase man’s knowledge of himself and of his universe.132.④ (line 2-4, para. 2, Passage 4 ) It is just one of several techniques being tried at . medical schools and hospitals in an attempt to deal with the most universal complaint about doctors: lack of sympathy.133.⑤ (line 6-9, para. 1, Passage 5 ) Differentials(差异)in infant mortality were very large---75 per cent higher in poverty than in nonpoverty areas. In both cases, the differences between white and nonwhite were even more substantial than between poverty and nonpoverty areas.134.⑥ (line 3-4, para. 4, passage 6) Monitoring by computer has proven to be very accurate and increases early discovery of life threatening events.Part V &n, bsp; Writing (20 points, 35 minutes)Directions: For this part, you are allowed 35 minutes to write a composition on the topic Diligence is the Father of Success.

Each of the passages is followed by 5 questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are 4 choices marked A, B, C and D. Choose the best one and mark your answer on the ANSWER SHEET. Passage OneWe are all busy talking about and using the Internet, but how many of us know the history of the Internet?Many people are surprised when they find that the Internet was set up as recently as the 1960s. At that time, computers were large and expensive. Computer networks didn’t work well. If one computer in the network broke down, then the whole network stopped. So a new network system had to be set up. It should be good enough to be used by many different computers. If part of the network was not working, information could be sen through another part. In this way the computer network system would keep on working all the time.At first the Internet was only used by the government, but in the 1970s, universities, hospitals and banks began to use it, too. However, computers were still very expensive and the Internet was difficult to use. At the beginning of the 1990s, computers became cheaper and easier to use. And scientists developed software that made Internet “surfing” more convenient.Today it is easy to get online and it is said that millions of people use the Internet every day.16. The Internet was set up in _____________.A. 1960B. the 1960sC. 1970D. the 1970s17. Computer networks didn’t work well at first because ___________.A. computers were large and expensiveB. computers couldn’t send information fastC. computers didn’t fit into the same networkD. if one computer failed, the whole network stopped18.

The history of the InternetD. Convenient Internet SurfingPassage TwoAlan Chang was a handsome young man with good manners.One morning he was walking along a street on his way to an appointment. He did not want to be early or late. He had forgotten to put on his watch so he went up to a man who was waiting for a taxi.“Excuse me, sir,” he said, very politely, “but could you tell me the time?”The man, who was very well-dressed and looked quite rich, said nothing. He did not even look at Alan. Alan spoke to him again. “Excuse me, sir,” he said, “but could you please tell me what time it is?”This time the man looked at him, but he did not speak and looked quickly away. Alan thought to himself: well, he can hear me; he must be just rude. So Alan asked again, “Why wouldn’t you tell me the time, sir?”The man turned towards him and said, “Put yourself in my shoes. I am standing here waiting for a taxi. You come up to me and ask me for the time. If I tell it to you, you will thank me. I will say ‘That’s all right.’ You may then say ‘It’s a beautiful day,’ to which I may reply ‘Yes, I like these sunny winter days.’ Before we know what is happening we have a friendly conversation. You are a pleasant, polite yo7ung man, so when my taxi comes, I offer you a ride. You accept. We talk. I like you. You like me. I invite you to my home. You meet my daughter. She is a very pretty girl. You are a good-looking man. You like each other. Soon you fall in love. You want to marry. Now do you understand my problem?”Alan shook his head. “No, sir, I’m sorry, I don’t. Everything you have said seems very natural to me.”“Exactly,” the man said, “and I do not want my daughter to marry a man who is too poor to buy a watch. Good morning to you.” And with these words he hurried away.21. Why did Alan ask the man what time it was?A. He was too late.B. He was very early.C. He had left his watch home.D. He wanted to meet the man’s daughter.22. What did Alan think of the man when he would not tell him the time?A. He was impolite.B. He was deaf.C. He was stupid.D. He spoke no English.23. What did the man mean by the underlined part “Put yourself in my shoes”A. Don’t interrupt me.B. My shoes hurt me.C. Come and try my shoes.D. Try to understand me.24.

The story is mainly about ____________.A. how rude a person can beB. how one thing leads to anotherC. where a person can’t tell the timeD. why you shouldn’t speak to strangers Passage ThreeWhat are the beauties of HawaiiLet’s start with four.The beach, famous for its water temperature, air temperature and waves, is the first beauty. There are hundreds of miles of beaches on the twenty islands of Hawaii. They are thought to be among the finest beaches in the world.Then, what do you think would be the second beautiful thingIt is volcanoes (火山), of course. These volcanoes are not just a part of the islands; they made the islands in the first place. Because of them the islands are still growing. What would be the third thing of beauty that the first visitor to Hawaii would notice It probably wouldn’t be just one thing, but many things: all the wonderful fruits and flowers of the islands. Sugar cane, bananas and pineapples are Hawaii’s biggest exports. Sugar cane has been growing in Hawaii for a thousand years. As forpineapples, the islands produce more than any other places in the world, which has made Dole Company the biggest fruit-packing company in the world.The fourth and most beautiful thing about Hawaii is the people who live there. The Hawaiians never rush, and perhaps this is because they care more for human life than they care for the machine. There is an old Hawaiian law that a man can go to sleep in the middle of the road if he wants to. What makes the people of Hawaii so beautiful is their feeling about people. There are 64 different combinations of races on the islands, and they all live in peace. They believe “Above all nations is humanity.” That is the most beautiful thing of all.26. According to the passage, Hawaii is made up of ___________.A. one islandB. twenty islandsC. sixty-four islandsD. hundreds of islands27. Why are the volcanoes so special to the islandsA. They are not a part of the islands.B. They actually made the islands.C. They are the first in the world.D. They are growing.28. What has made Dole Company the biggest fruit-packing company in the worldA. Sugar.B. Sugar cane.C. Bananas.D. Pineapples.29. The people in Hawaii are the most beautiful thing because ___________.A. they had a peaceful historyB. they can sleep in the middle of the roadC. there are 64 different races on the islandsD. they care more for people than anything else30. According to the passage, “above all nations is humanity” might mean___________.A. not all nations have humanityB. humanity is as important as a nationC. humanity has no national boundariesD. all human beings should live in peace Passage FourThere is a measurable relation between how much a person learns and his attitude toward the subject to be learned. When faced with a difficult learning task, one path to success is to concentrate on the positive aspects of the subject matter. If a student has a boring teacher, one solution is to look for the positive aspects of completing the course, regardless of how boring the teacher happens to be. To accomplish this might require a private tutor or some independent reading, but with the right attitude, success is possible.Over-achievers – students who do better than their test scores show – usually have a positive interest toward learning. They may learn some things more slowly, and they may make more efforts, but, to compensate (补偿), they are often betterat applying what they have learned. As long as they do not have emotional problems, they are successful.Under-achievers – those who function below their ability shown by test scored –often tend to allow a few negative factors to affect them. Because of their negative attitudes, they sometimes become unfairly critical of teachers. They allow themselves to get bored when it is not necessary. In short, their attitudes often cause them to learn less than over-achievers.。

学位英语历年真题带答案07-04

成人本科学位英语统一考试(A卷)07年04月21日Part I Reading Comprehension (30%)Directions: There are three 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 on the Answer Sheet with a single line through the center.Passage 1Many a young person tells me he wants to be a writer.(76) I always encourage such people, but I also explain that there’s a big difference between “being a writer’ and writing. In most cases these individuals are dreaming of wealth and fame, not the long hour alone at a typewriter. “You’ve got to want to write,” I say to them, “not want to be a writer”.The reality is that writing is a lonely, private and poor-paying affair. For every writer kissed by fortune there are thousands more whose longing is never rewarded. When I left a 20-year career in the U.S. Coast Guard to become a freelance(自由栏目)writer, I had no prospects at all. What I did have was a friend who found me my room in a New York apartment building. It didn’t even matter that it was cold and had no bathroom. I immediately bought a used manual typewriter and felt like a genuine writer.After a year or so, however, I still hadn’t gotten a break and began to doubt myself. It was so hard to sell a story that I barely made enough to eat. But I knew I wanted to write, I had dreamed about it for years. I wasn’t going to be one of those people who die wondering: What if ? (77 ) I would keep putting my dream to the test even though it meant living with uncertainty and fear of failure. This is the shadowland of hope, and anyone with a dream must learn to live there.1. The passage is meant to ______.A. warn young people of the hardships that a successful writer has to experienceB. advise young people to give up their idea of becoming a professional writerC. show young people it’s unrealistic for a writer to pursue wealth and fameD. encourage young people to pursue a writing career2. What can be concluded from the passage?A. Genuine writers often find their work interesting and rewarding.B. A writer’s success depends on luck rather than on efforts.C. Famous writers usually live in poverty and isolation.D. The chances for writer to become successful are small3. Why did the author begin to doubt himself after the first year of his writing career?A. He wasn’t able to produce a single book.B. He hadn’t seen aching for the better.C. He wasn’t able to have a rest for a who le year.D. He though that he lacked imagination.4. “…people who die wondering: What if ?”(Lin4-5, Para-3) refers to “those _____”.A. who think too much of the dark side of lifeB. who regret giving up their career halfwayC. who think a lot without making a decisionD. who are full of imagination even upon death5. “Shadowland” in the last sentence refers to _____.A. the wonderland on often dreams aboutB. the bright future that one is looking forward toC. the state of uncertainty before one’s final goal is reachedD. a world that exists only in one’s imaginationPassage 2uestions 6 to 10 are based on the following passage:Man is a land animal, but he is also closely tied to the sea. Throughout history the sea has served the needs of man. The sea has provided man with food and a convenient way to travel to many parts of the world. Toady, experts believe that nearly two-thirds of the world’s population live within eighty kilometers of the seacoast.(78)In the modern technological world the sea offers many resources to help mankind survive. Resources on land are beginning to grow less. The sea, however, still offers hope to supply many of man’s needs in the future.The riches of the sea yet to be developed by man’s technology are impressive. Oil and g as explorations have existed for nearly thirty years. Valuable amounts of minerals such as iron, copper and so on exist on the ocean floor.Besides oil and gas, the sea may offer new sources of energy. For example, warm temperature of the ocean can be used as the steam in a steamship. Sea may also offer a source of energy as electricity for mankind.Technology is enabling man to explore even deeper under the sea. It is obvious that the technology to harvest the sea continues to improve. (79) By the 2050, experts believe that the problems to explore the food, minerals and energy resources of the sea will have been largel7y solved.6. What is the beat title for the passage?A. Needs of Man.B. Sea Harvest and FoodC. Sea and Sources of EnergyD. Sea Exploring Technology.7. It can be inferred from the passage that ______.A. man hasn’t completely made use of the riches of the seaB. technology for exploring the sea has been solvedC. harvesting rice in the sea will be made possibleD. in the near future man can live on the ocean floor8. Why does the author mention a steamship?A. To illustrate that man can make use of sources of energy from the sea.B. To show that a steamship is better than other kinds of ships.C. To argue that man should use steamships.D. To indicate that it is warmer in the ocean than on land.9. According to the author, technology is important because ______.A. resources on land are running short in ten yearsB. man can use it to explore the deeper seaC. it is a lot of fun diving into the seaD. ancient people used it to explore the sea10. According to the author, when will the problems to explore the deeper sea largely be solved?A. In the next generation.B. By the end of the 20th century.C. In the near future.D. By the middle of the 21st century.Passage 3Questions 11 to 15 are based on the following passage:Today, cigarette smoking is a common habit. About forty-three percent of the adult men and thirty-one percent of the adult women in the United States smoke cigarettes regularly. It is encouraging to see that millions of people have given up smoking.It is a fact that men as a group smoke more than women. Among both men and women the age group with the highest proportion of smokers is 24-44.Income, education, and occupation all play a part in determining a person’s smoking habit. City people smoke more than people living on farms. Well-educated men with high incomes are less likely to smoke cigarettes than men with fewer years of schooling and lower incomes. On the other hand, if a well-educated man with a higher income smoked at all, he is likely to smoke more packs of cigarettes per day.The situation is somewhat different for women.(80)There are slightly more smokers among women with higher family income and higher education than among the lower income and lower educational groups. These more highly educated women tend to smoke more heavily.Among teenagers the picture is similar. There are fewer teenaged smokers from upper-income, well-educated families, and fewer from families living in farm areas. Children are most likely to start smoking if one or both of their parents smoke.11. What do we know from the first paragraph ?A. More and more people take up the habit of smoking.B. There are more smoking women than smoking men in USA.C. It is good news that more people have given up smoking.D. The U.S. has more smoking people than any other country.12.What factors determine a person’s smoking habits ?A. Age, income and education.B. Age, sex and income.C. Occupation, income and sex.D. Occupation, income and education.13.Which of the following is true according to the passage ?A. City people are less likely to smoke.B. People in rural areas are more likely to smoke.C. Men with higher income tend to smoke.D. Well-educated men with high incomes are generally less likely to smoke.14.What is the smoking situation for women ?A. The situation is quite the same for women as for men .B. Better-educated women are likely to smoke heavily.C. There are more women smokers with low incomes.D. Women with higher incomes and higher education do not tend to smoke.15.What can we say about teenaged smokers ?A. The picture about the teenage smokers is similar to that of women smokers.B. The situation among teenagers is quite the same with men.C. High school students are more likely to smoke than college students.D. Farmers’ children tend to smoke more.Part ⅡVocabulary and Structure (30%)Directions: In this part, there are 30 incomplete sentences. For each sentence there are four choices marked A, B, C and D .

One Friday afternoon he was riding along the tracktowards the Henderson farm. He was looking for a prize bull which had escaped fromthe Borrogee paddock. He reached the hills and saw at once that he could not go further.There had been a fire in the forest which had gone out. But the air was still fullof smoke and fallen trees had blocked the track. Jack was just going to turn backwhen he saw something moving in the smoke. He waited. It was a girl on a horse, andshe was riding towards him. “There’s a badly burnt man on the farm,” the girls houted. “He saved my life. Please help me to save him.”The girl was Cathy Henderson. She had been on horseback for two hours. She had tojump over fallen trees that were still burning. Her pony had fallen with her twice.She was thirsty and almost dead from want of sleep. But she rode back to the farmwith Jack immediately.Joe Brook was unconscious when they reached him. They lifted him onto Jack’s horse.The ride back to Borrogee was terrible. Cathy was so tired that Jack had to tie herto her pony. The pony was tired too, but its courage was astonishing. It followedJack right to Borrogee Hospital. Nobody saw them arrive because it was night.“I’ve never seen a horse like that pony,” Jack said. Cathy praised Jack Billabong,but she refused to say anything about the pony, “Joe will write about her in hisstory,” she said.But she did say one thing: “If flame hadn’t returned to the farm that afternoon,Joe and I would have died.”16.

Dr. Aiken studied anumber of couples who had been married for at least twenty-five years. Each couple provided fourphotographs—one photo of each partner at the time of their marriage and another photo of eachpartner twenty-five or more years later. All background was cut from the photos to remove anyclues. The photos were then displayed in groups: a random grouping of the persons at the time oftheir marriage and another random grouping of the same persons who took photographs later.Some testees were asked to pick out the partners. They failed totally with the first group. Theirjudgements were no better than chance. But with the photos taken twenty-five or more years afterthe marriage, the testees were quite successful with the most happily-married couples.Dr. Aiken believes there are several reasons why couples grow alike. One reason has something todo with imitation. One person tends to copy or do the same as someone else without knowing it.He says human begins to imitate the expressions of the faces of their loved ones. “Anotherpossible reason,” he says, “is the common experience of the couples.” There is a tendency forpeople who have the same life experience to change their faces in similar ways. For example, if acouple have suffered from a lot of sad experiences, their faces are likely to change in a similar way.21. Dr. Aiken cut the background from the photos for the purpose of__________.A. imitating the couples’ lifeB. grouping the couples againC. leaving no trace for the testeesD. giving the testees more chances22. The underlined sentence “Their judgements were no better than chance” implies that thetestees __________.A. did a good job in making their choices.B. had difficulty in picking out the partnersC. had no chance to make the right judgementsD. did better with the first group than with the second23. The underlined word “imitate” (in Para. 2) has a similar m eaning to __________.A. copyB. changeC. knowD. suffer24. From the passage we can draw the conclusion that ___________.A. couples who look alike can live longerB. most partners have been proved to grow alikeC. the influence between partners can be quite strongD. happily-married couples are often richer than others25. The main purpose of the passage is to ___________.A. explain why couples grow alikeB. tell how couples like each otherC. discuss the function of marriageD. describe the life of happily married couplesPassage Three The three biggest lies in America are: (1) “The check is in the mail”, (2) “Of course I’ll respectyou in the morning”, and (3) “It was a computer error.”Of these three little white lies, the worst is the third. It’s the only one that can never be true. Today,if a bank statement cheats you out of $ 900 that way, you know what the clerk is sure to say,” Itwas a computer error.” Nonsense. The comp uter is reporting nothing more than what the clerktyped into it.The most annoying case of all is when the computerized cashier in the grocery store shows that anitem costs more than it actually does. If the innocent buyer points out the mistake, the checker,bagger, and manager all come together and offer the familiar explanation: “It was a computeerror.”It wasn’t, of course that computerized cashier is really nothing more than an electric event. Theeye reads the Universal Product Code—chat bar of black and white lines in a corner of thepackage—and then checks the code against a price list stored in memory. If the price list is right,you’ll be charged accurately.Grocery stores update the price list each day—that is, somebody sits at a keyboard and types in theprices. If the price they type in is too high, there are only two explanations: carelessness ordishonesty. But somehow “a computer error” is supposed to excuse everything.One reason we let people hide behind a computer is the common misperception that huge, moderncomputers are electric brain with “artificial intelligence.” At some point there might be a machinewith intelligence but none exists today. The smartest computer on Earth right now is no moreintelligent than your average pen. At this point in the development of computers, the only thingany machine can do is what a human has instructed it to do.26. Of the three lies, the one about computer is the worst because the computer itself __________.A. says nonsenseB. cheats customersC. cannot make the errorD. does not admit its error27. According to the author, a computerized cashier is really just___________.A. a machine to count moneyB. a machine to receive moneyC. an instrument to print codesD. an instrument to read codes28. Grocery store price lists are updated by ____________.A. a computerB. a keyboardC. an employeeD. an electric brain29. The last paragraph of the passage implies that computers____________.A. are very cleverB. never make mistakesC. have a good memoryD. are controlled by men30. Which of the following describes the main idea of the passage?A. Computers are stupid and inefficient.B. Computer errors are due to its dishonesty.C. Computers help stores update the price list.D. Computer errors are actually human errors.Passage FourI came across an old country guidebook the other day. It listed all the tradesmen in each village,and it was impressive to see the past variety of services which were available on one’s owndoorstep in the late Victorian countryside. Nowadays a traveler in rural England might conclude that the only village tradesmen stillflourishing were either selling frozen food to the villagers or selling antiques to visitors.Nevertheless, this would really be a false impression. On the surface, there has been a decline ofvillage commerce, but its power is still remarkable.Our local grocer’s shop, for example, is actually expanding in spite of the competition fromsupermarkets in the nearest town. Women sensibly prefer to go there and exchange the local newswhile doing their shopping, instead of queuing up at a supermarket. And the grocer knows wellthat personal service has a considerable cash value.His prices may be a bit higher than those in the town, but he willdeliver anything at any time. Hisassistants think nothing of bicycling down the village street in their lunch hour to take a piece ofcheese to an old retired woman who sent her order by word of mouth witha friend who happenedto be passing. The richer customers telephone their shopping lists and the goods are on theirdoorsteps within an hour. They have only to hint at a fancy for some commodity outside the usualstock and the grocer, a red faced-figure, instantly obtains it for them.31. Nowadays the commercial services in the village are ____________.A. still very activeB. quickly decliningC. unable to flourishD. personal to visitors32. The local grocer’s shop is expanding because _____________.A. the competition there is weakB. it is a place for women to chatC. it provides good personal serviceD. the goods there are more valuable33. Which of the following is true about the supermarkets?A. Prices there are much higherB. Customers often have to queue up.C. Customers can order by telephone.D. Their personal services are satisfactory.34. How do the village grocer’s assistants feel about giving extra service?A. They don’t think it a trouble.B. They don’t think it worthwhile.C. They don’t consider it a good deal.D. They don’t consider it a pleasant experience.35. One special feature of the village shop is that ___________.A. there is a very wide range of goods availableB. customers can order goods by word of mouthC. customer have to order goods one hour earlierD. there is a list of goods to be delivered to doorstepsPart III Vocabulary and Structure (20 points)Directions: There are 40 incomplete sentences in this part.

For each of them there are 4 choices marked A, B, C and D. Choose the best one and mark your answer on the ANSWER SHEET with a single line through the center.Passage OneIn your car you may have a cell phone, a telephone also known as a mobile phone that you can carry around and use anywhere. On your way, you may feel coordinated and enjoy your hands-free phone talking while driving. But recent studies suggest that it isn’t the dialing or the arm waving that makes driving while talking on a cell phone dangerous. It is the yakking itself --- or more precisely, the continuous conversation with someone who isn't present --- that makes. David Strayer, a Utah psychologist, says “Your driving performance while talking on a cell phone is weakened at levels comparable to, or worse than, driving with a blood alcohol level of 0.08,” which is the legal limit in most states of America.Using a driving-training simulator, Strayer and his colleagues compared the attention levels and response time of 110 drivers in various situations. In dense traffic, cell phone users were about 20 percent slower to respond to sudden hazards than other drivers, and they were about twice as likely to drive into the back of a braking car in front of them. "Cell phone drivers are obtaining less than 50 percent of the visual information that non-cell drivers are getting," says Strayer. "Looking and seeing are not one and the same." By contrast, the researchers found that listening to the radio or conversing with passengers is not as hazardous. "When a dangerous situation arises, the driver and passengers put their conversation on pause," Strayer says.Whether talking with a passenger or someone on a cell phone, however, people are less able to recall the details of a conversation carried on while driving. "So it might not be good for your economic health to discuss investment strategies with your agent while either of you is driving." Strayer adds lastly.16. According to the recent studies, which of the following makes driving dangerous?A. A cell phone dialing by the driver.B. The driver's endless arm waving.C. The driver's continuous cell phone talking.D. The absence of another phone speaker.17. Which of the following does Strayer want to stress most?A. The driving performance may be weakened by a cellphone talking.B. The driving performance may be affected by a high bloodalcohol level.C. Drivers are not to drive over the cell phone or afterdrinking.D. A cell phone talking is no less hazardous than alcohol in driving.18. The experiment shows all the following EXCEPTthat_________.A. the cell phone drivers get less than half of the visualinformationB. the cell phone drivers are twice as likely to hit the frontcarsC. the cell phone drivers' response to sudden dangers is slowerD. the 110 drivers were reluctant to take part in the experiments19. Strayer discourages drivers from talking, about business on cell phones while driving because____________.A. they tend to forget the details of a conversationB. both the driver and his agent happen to be drivingC. it might not be good for the driver's memoryD. the other passengers would overhear the conversation20. It can be inferred that the author's attitude toward cell phone yakking is_________.A. approvingB. disapprovingC. encouragingD. indifferent Passage TwoIt's no great surprise that Bill Gates has decided to walk away from his day-to-day involvement with Microsoft, and use his full attention to oversee how the Bill Gates Foundation spends its $ 16 billion on philanthropy, or charity. But Gates is not the first one to follow the path. Ever since the industrial revolution, wealthy self-made businessmen and businesswomen have felt a calling to create a legacy that goes beyond a profit and loss sheet. The saying "He who dies rich, dies disgraced" runs deeply through the business community.But out of all the great philanthropists, Mr. Gate’s career path appears to be closest to the oil millionaire John Rockefeller. Both were self-made men and both became the richest men on the planet. Rockefeller was in his late fifties when he turned his attention full time to philanthropy--- creating vast charitable foundations to promote health and education. Now Gates says he will do the same in his early fifties. "With great wealth comes great responsibility," he adds.Like Gates, many philanthropists do not want to pass on too much wealth to their children. They want them to be comfortable, with a nice house and some money in trust for their grandchildren. But they don't want to leave them millions and millions because they know how important it is for them to make their own way. In Britain, for instance, the newspaper rich lists are increasingly dominated by self-made millionaires, rather than inherited wealth. New money is less likely to be tied up in assets, making it ripe for philanthropyThe appearance of the welfare state also had a great impact on attitudes to philanthropy. The state was saying it would take over much of the role of what was once regarded as the responsibility of private philanthropists.21. Bill Gates has done all the following EXCEPT_________.A. abandoning his career with Microsoft's daily businessB. devoting the rest of his life to philanthropic causesC. leaving his children enough money for a comfortable lifeD. defying John Rockefeller in creating charitablefoundations22. The saying "He who dies rich, dies disgraced" properlymeans that________.A. the wealthy people should give away their fortunesafter deathB. the wealthy people should feel ashamed for-their assetsC. the wealthy people should abandon their careers forcharitiesD. it is shameful for the wealthy people to keep theirwealth till death23. Gates and Rockefeller are similar in that_____________.A. both of them inherited their wealthB. their career paths are exactly the sameC. both decided to devote to charity in their fiftiesD. both made their fortunes in the same way24. Many wealthy people don't want to leave too much behind mainly because___________.A. it is not easy for them to make their fortunesB. they want their children to make their own wayC. they just wish their children to have a comfortable lifeD. they hope to gain reputation by donating their wealth25. The chief reason why philanthropy has come into a goodstage is that____________.A. the new money is less likely to be regarded as one'sprivate wealthB. Gates will devote his full attention to philanthropyC. the welfare state would take over all the charityresponsibilitiesD. many new millionaires are self-made rather thaninheritedPassage ThreeIn 1991, when announced to be HIV positive, "Magic"Johnson became the face of a disease that the public still hada lot to learn about. The basketball star established the MagicJohnson Foundation that year and took a leading role on the public relations and fund-raising fronts in the fight againstHIV and AIDS. Fifteen years later, there is still more work to do.“A lot of times, what happens is that the poster's not enough,”Johnson says, motioning to his likeness on theblackboard behind him. “So I have to get out and tell them myself, like I'm doing here today.” Johnson is now talking to an assembly at Boys and Girls High School in hisneighborhood of Brooklyn, N.Y. The crowd is a few hundred students in a mostly black, working-class neighborhood. Thus event is the fourth of a 10-city speaking tour that isorganized for minority communities.According to drug maker Abbot, half of the more than I million Americans living with HIV are black. African-American men are being diagnosed with the disease at a rate 10 times as high as that of white men. For women, the situation iseven worse. The rate of diagnosis for African-Americanwomen is 23 times as high as that for their whitecounterparts.“Right now, we don't have a solution on how to combat it, so we're trying to do some different things than what has happened before,” Johnson says.Getting the word out is what draws Johnson to black neighborhood high schools such as this one, and themessage he brings with him is a practical one. “The safestsex is no sex,” he says. “But, in reality, we know only acertain number of people are going to hear that. Then I hit them with ‘Hey, if you're going to do it, you've got to p rotect yourself and your partner.’”Hopefully, by talking realistically instead of avoiding the issues, Johnson can help make the next generation ofAfrican-Americans less likely to have HIV and AIDS. “just try to be real with them,” he says. “They appreciate that.”26. The phrase “disease that the public still had a lot to learn about" here means a disease that_________.A. was already well-known thenB. was too complicated for peopleC. was still too new to be understoodD. killed too many victims then27. According to the passage, the group with the Highest ASS rate is_______.A. the white AmericansB.African-American menC. the American womenD. the black American women28.The speaker is named "Magic" Johnson because________.A. he was once a famous basketball coachB. he was a happy survivor of the unhappy diseaseC. he was given chance to talk of his own experienceD. he was a very practical and realistic person in life29.

To take himself as an example in fighting the disease.B. To raise the awareness of young Americans against thedisease.C. To provide a better cure for the black American HIVsufferers.D. To try some new medical solutions on the HIV and AIDSsufferers.Passage FourOnce upon a time all you needed for a camping trip was a sleeping bag, a compass and some common sense. Now, according to my local sporting goods retailer, a lot more should be added. However, outdoor travel has become such a trend that urban people find themselves with some upscale retailers to address their every desire."Eco" and "adventure" are the latest fashionable words in destination travel; those n the industry know they can make serious cash off all the consumers. These are consumers who get outdoors not for nature's sake, but to work out simply for a splendid cocktail party.As a result of high-end demand, the great outdoors is becoming less affordable and accessible for ordinary people. Our national parks used to be vast acres of wilderness where people could go and enjoy nature, for free. But over the past 100-years, the government has been slowly selling or leasing off public lands-for-profit, and our current president is continuing the trend.Large ski resorts have swallowed up plenty of wilderness and small towns in the West by attracting more high-end businesses.Nature is now a commodity that can be repackaged and sold to the wealthy developers. As for the small amount of public land Left, well, try to remember the last time you camped at a state park for free.The Joneses and everyone trying to keep up with them want a piece of the outdoors, but only with creature comforts included. The rest of us are being slowly priced out of nature.Pretty soon my tent and sleeping pack will be out of date; since camping will mean a luxury yurt with skylights for star-gazing.If this is what signifies experiencing nature in the newmillennium, then Thoreau must be rolling in his grave.31. According to the author, outdoor travel has nowbecome________.A. less needed for the urban residentsB. an uncontrolled trend for city dwellersC. an ever more attractive interest for urban peopleD. so economical that most urban people can afford it32.The phrase "make serious cash off all the consumers" (Paragraph 2) means “____”A .make consumers deposit all their money into bankB. cause the consumers to use up all their moneyC.make all the consumers cash their money in the bankD.make a careful plan to attract as many consumers as possible33. Paragraph 2 is written to_______.A. introduce the nature's change of the outdoor traveltodayB. criticize the outdoor campers for their waste of moneyD.describe the difference of outdoor camping today andwhat it was beforeD. imply the strong influence of the consuming society onthe outdoor travel34. The author believes that________.A. the government is right to sell or 'lease public lands towealthy developersB. public lands shouldn't have been sold or leased toindividuals for profitsC: nature should be left for wide public. to enjoy ratherthan to rentD. the outdoor campers should be more clear-minded inspending money35.
