以下是店铺为大家搜索整理的最新公共英语等级考试五级真题模拟训练,希望能给大家带来帮助!Section I: Listening ComprehensionThis section is designed to test your ability to understand spoken English. You will hear a selection of recorded materials and you must answer the questions that accompany them. There are three parts in this section, Part A , Part B and Part C.Remember, while you are doing the test, you should first answer the questions in your test booklet, not on the ANSWER SHEET. At the end of the listening comprehension section, you will have 5 minutes to transfer your answers from your test booklet onto ANSWER SHEET 1.If you have any questions, you may raise your hand NOW as you will not be allowed to speak once the test has started.Part A You will hear a conversation between a student, Mr. Wang, and his tutor, Dr. Wilson. As you listen, answer Questions 1 to 10 by circling True or False. You will hear the conversation ONLY ONCE. You now have 60 seconds to read Questions 1-10.1. Dr. Wilson and Mr. Wang have met before. TRUE / FALSE2. Wang prefers to live with an English family. TRUE / FALSE3. Wang intends to study how computer is used for language translation. TRUE / FALSE4. Back in his own country Mr. Wang studied C-language and chemistry. TRUE / FALSE5. Wang has some experience in CAD. TRUE / FALSE6. Dr. Wilson is satisfied with Wang's past experience. TRUE / FALSE7. Wang has little knowledge of the phonetic processing system. TRUE / FALSE8. Wang decides to take courses and pass exams. TRUE / FALSE9. Dr. Wilson suggests that Wang should extend his stay at the university. TRUE / FALSE10. Dr. Wilson asks Wang to do a little more research before deciding on his project. TRUE / FALSETapescript:WMW[Hearing a knock on the door] Come in please.Good morning Dr. Wilson.Good morning Wang. So nice to see you again. Take a seat...why don't you, please. When did you get to the university?MWMI arrived yesterday.Well... Are you living in the college?No, I am with an English family...actually...because I want to improve my speaking.WMWOh, fine. Right, did you take a language proficiency test before you came?Yes. Uhh...my Overall Band is 6, but...unfortunately my speaking is only 5.OK, you know, here in this university, you have to take our own English test before you attend any lectures. So, first of all, what we've got to do is, we have to make an arrangement for the test date. Umm...will tomorrow be all right for you?MWYeah, I have time tomorrow morning.Good, then. T omorrow at ten. I don't think the test will be any problem for you. Now, let's make sure you make full use of your time here. Let's put it like this. What exactly do you want to accomplish in the next 12 months?MI'm interested in computer language translation, I mean, from English to Chinese and Chinese to English. I'll try, if possible, to produce a software or a device which can serve as an interpreter.WMYes, could you be a bit more specific about...er...the device?For instance, when, you talk to the devicein English it will translate your words into Chinese and vice versa.WMWMWUhuh...do you mean it'll be as competent as...er...a human interpreter?Yes... well, I'll let it deal with general situations, at least.Fascinating... and how big will the device itself be, do you think?The size of a cigarette pack, I think. So people can put it in their pocket.Really. Well, that could be a Ph. D project. Tell me what you have done so far.In my four years of undergraduate study, I studied electronics, advancedMmathematics, hardware designing, some computer languages and program writing.Yes, but have you done anypractical jobs? I mean, have you written anyWprograms for practical use?I was involved in a project for CAD in a shipyard.MWThe computer aided design. That was probably a good experience, but, unfortunately, it may not help your present project much. Are you familiar with C-language?No.MWUhuh... the phonetic processing system, do you know how such a system works?What do you mean by "phonetic processing system?"MWWell, you know, English is spoken by different people with different accents. Your English accent is different from mine, and of course mine is not the same as my colleagues'. So as I see it, your device would have to be able to recognise and understand different accents.Oh, I see. I think I can learn C-language and a phonetic processing systemMhere.Well, that's probably true, but you've got only 12 months and you want aWdegree, don't you?Yes.MWOK, so there're two ways of studying for a degree here. You either take six courses, pass their exams and have your dissertation accepted or the other way is you do some research work and submit your project report.MWMWI think I'll take the second way.Fine, but are you sure you can finish your project in 12 months?I don't know, but Ican work 12 hours a day and 7 days a week.Well, I'd suggest you spend some time in our library, trying to find out what other students have done before and perhaps re-consider your own project, to some extent. You might narrow your research area, concentrating on solving one or two major problems. And, it'd be a good idea to talk to your colleagues in the lab, first. Anyway, I'm sure we can work out something good. Shall I see you again in three days' time?All right. I'll go away and do some thinking. Then I'll talk to you about myMnew plan.Good. See you then.WMThank you. Bye-bye.You now have 20 seconds to check your answers to Questions 1 - 10.That is the end of Part APart B:You will hear 3 conversations or talks and you must answer the questions by choosing A, B, C or D. You will hear the recording ONLY ONCE. Questions 1 - 3 are based on the following talk. You now have 15 seconds to read Questions 1 - 3.1. What does the speaker suggest that the students should do during the term?[A] Consult with her frequently.[B] Use the computer regularly.[C] Occupy the computer early.[D] Wait for one's turn patiently.2.

What is the talk mainly about?[A] Computer lab services.[B] College library facilities.[C] The use of micro-computers.[D] Printouts from the laser printer.TapescriptRight, everybody. Welcome to Central College library services. My name's Kathy Jenkins. I'll give you a briefintroduction to the library. We have a well-stocked bank of resources which are in three main locations: the library itself, with books and periodicals; the self-access language centre, with audio and video material; and the micro-computer lab. I'll start with the micro-computer lab, or micro-lab as we call it. It is fitted with 24 personal computers.If you are a member of the library, you may borrow CALL discs in French, German, Italian, Spanish and Russian as well as English. By the way, CALL stands for computer aided language learning: C A double L, "CALL", for short. You may also borrow a range of word processing and desktop publishing packages. All disks are, of course, strictly for use in the micro-lab only. If you wish to print anything you should use one of the five machines around the outside of the room. Four are connected to dot matrix printers, one is connected to the laser printer. If you want a top quality printout from the laser printer, come and see myself or any of the library staff. Dot-matrix printouts are free but there is a charge for using the laser printer.There is always a queue to get to the terminals towards the end of term. Come in and get to know how to use the computers early in the term and use them regularly, rather than just before exams and essay deadlines, in order to avoid delay or disappointment. Training sessions are held on a regular basis, on the first and third Thursday of each month, and are free to full-time students of the college. See you there. Now, any questions?You now have 30 seconds to check your answers to Questions 1 - 3.Part C You will hear a talk given by a university lecturer. As you listen, you must answer Questions 1 -10 by writing NO MORE THAN THREE words in the space provided on the right. You willhear the talk TWICE.You now have 60 seconds to read Questions 1 to 10.1. What's the average annual increase of foreign student population in the period between 1985 and 1990 in terms of percentage?2. Which part of the world contributed to an increase between 94/95 and 95/96?3. When will the speaker talk about the economic and political changes?4. What will the speaker discuss first?5. Where do the three largest groups of students come from?6. What's the number of students from Malaysia?7. Which is the most popular field of study?8. What's the percentage of students in business and management?9. In terms of academic levels, in which level do we find the smallest number?10. In summary, what did the speaker talk about?TapescriptFor those of you who are either already studying in the United States or plan to one day, it might be interesting to know something about the foreign student population in the United States. For the academic year 1995/96 there was a total of approximately 344,000 foreign students studying in the United States. This figure of 344,000 may seem like a very large number until you compare it with the total population of 241,000,000. The foreign student population has been growing for a number of years and is still growing, but the rate of increase has dropped sharply during the 1990s. During the 1980s, the population grew quite rapidly. For example, between 1985 and 1990, the averageyearly increase was 12.5%. However, the picture in the 1990s is quite different. The rate of increase has declined quite noticeably. In fact, the rate of increase between 1994/95 and 1995/96 was only .5%, or one-half of one percent. Although the overall rate of increase has dropped to only .5%, the number of students from some parts of the world is increasing while the number of students from other areas is decreasing. For example, during this same time period, that is between the academic years 94/95 and 95/96, there was a decrease in the number of students from the Middle East, while the number of students from South and East Asia increased. These changes in the number of students coming from different parts of the world no doubt reflected changing economic and political situations. I'm sure you are aware of many of these changes, and perhaps we can discuss them at our next meeting. For today let's confine our talk to first, a discussion of the origin of these students, or, in other words, where they come from; second, the kinds of studies they pursue; and, finally, the academic levels they are found in. If we have a little time left, we might quickly discuss in which geographic areas most of them go to school.Let's discuss the origins of the foreign student population in the United States for the academic year 1995/96. Let's discuss it in order from those areas sending the most students to those areas sending the fewest students. If we look at the figures provided by the annual census of foreign students in the United States for the year 1995/96, we see that most of the foreign students studying in the United States during this year were from South and East Asia. This is a rather large geographical area which includes such countries as China, Korea, Pakistan, India, Malaysia, and Indonesia. The total number of students from thisarea, South and East Asia was 156,830. In other words, roughly 2 out of every 5 foreign students come from South and East Asia. Almost 24,000 of this total were from China. Malaysia was close behind with just a little over 23,000 students. The next largest number of students came from the Middle East. The number of students from the Middle East came to about one-third the number from South and East Asia. The fourth largest number came from South America. Next came Europe, Africa, North America, and Oceania. Let's recapitulate what we've said. The largest number of students studying in the United States during the academic year 1995/96 were from South and East Asia, followed by the Middle East, South America, Europe, Africa, North America, and Oceania.What fields are these large numbers of foreign students studying in? It probably won't surprise you to learn that the largest number are in the field of engineering. In fact, 21.7% of the total number are studying engineering. Business and management is close behind, however, with a total of 18.9%. The third most popular field was mathematics and computer sciences with 10.3%. As you can see, engineering with 21.7%, business and management with 18.9%, and mathematics and computer sciences with 10.3% comprise about one half of the total number of foreign students.Let's talk about which academic levels these students can be found in. Foreign students can be found studying at all levels of higher education. As you might expect, the greatest number of them are studying at the undergraduate level ? approximately 158,000. The second largest group study at the graduate level and that number is just under 122,000. The rest study at junior colleges or in non-degree programs. It is at the graduate levelthat foreign students have the most impact. While foreign students comprise only 2.7% of the total U.S. student population, they account for 8.7% of all the graduate students studying at U. S. institutions. Let me give you those percentages again so you can get a better feel for the overall picture. Foreign students make up only 2.75 of the total U. S. student population, but they make up 8.7% of the total graduate student population.Well, I see that's all the time we have today. We'll have to leave discussions of the geographic areas these students study in until another time.Now you are going to hear the talk a second time.REPEAT THE TEXTYou now have 3 minutes to check your answers to Questions 1 - 10.That is the end of Part C.

全国英语等级考试五级模拟试题全国英语等级考试五级模拟试题精选2篇(一)全国英语等级考试五级模拟试题Section 111 Reading prehension( 50 minutes)Part ARead the following texts and answer the questions which acpany., them by choosing A, B, C or D. Mark your answers on ANSWER SHEET 1.Text 1As long as her parents can remember, 13-year-old Katie Hart has been talking about going to college. Her mother, Tally, a financial-aid officer at a California University, knows all too well the daunting thing of paying for a college education. Last year the average yearly tuition at a private, four-year school climbed 5.5 percent to more than $17, 000. The Harts have started saving, and figure they can afford a public university without a problem. But what if Katie applies to Princeton ( she' s threatening), where oneyear' s tuition, room and board-almost $ 34, 000 in 2023-will cost more than some luxury cars? Even a number cruncher like Tally admits it' s a little scary, especially since she' 11 retire and Katie will go to college at around the same time.The best way to prepare is to start saving early.A new law passed last year makes that easier for some families. So-called 529 plans allow parents to sock away funds in federal-tax-free-investment accounts, as long as the money is used for “qualified educaion expe nses” like tuition, room and board. The plansaren' t for everyone. For tax reasons, some lower and middle ine families may be better off choosing other investments. But saving is vital.When' s the best time to start? “Sometime, ”says Jack Joyce of the C ollege Board, “between the maternity ward and middle school. ”Aid packages usually e in some bination of grants, loans and jobs. These days 60 percent of all aid es in the form of low-interest loans. All students are eligible for “unsubsidized” federal St afford loans,which let them defer interest payments until after graduation. Students who can demonstrate need can also qualify for federal Perkins loans or “subsidized” Staffords, where the gover____ent pays the interest during school. Fortunately, this is a borrower' s market. “Interest rates are at their lowest level in the history of student loans, ” says Mark Kantrowitz, publisher of Finaid. Kantrowitz expects rates to fall even further when they' re reviewed this summer.Traditional scholarships, academic or athletic, are still a part of many families' planning. Mack Reiter, a 17-year-old national wrestling chion, gets so many recruiting letters he throws most away. He' 11 almost certainly get a free ride. Without it, “we would really be in a bind, ” s ays his mother, Ja. For everyone else, it' s worth the effort to pick through' local .and national scholarship offerings, which can be found Ol Web sites like college-board, .A. The difficulty of paying the tuition.B. The far-sight of the parents.C. The promising future of Katie.D. The increasing tuition in the university.52. What can we infer from the second paragraph?A. Some families are too poor to pay the full amount of the tuition.B. The parents do not favor the form of loans.C. Paying the tuition makes the parents feel humble.D. Those who are in great need may not get what they need.53. The last paragraph suggests that __A. many recruiting letters failed to provide Mack Reiter with scholarshipsB. Mack Reiter wanted to help his family go out of the troubleC. traditional scholarships are a good solution to the tuition problems in some familiesD. Mack Reiter was very proud of his national wrestling chionship54. What does the author mean by “better off” ( Line 4, Paragraph 3 ) ?A. Richer.B. Wiser.C. Happier.D. Luckier.55. Which of the following is true according tothe text?A. The Harts prefer a public university to aprivate one.B. It is much easier to pay the tuition at present.C. All students can get the aid package.D .Traditional scholarships are still attractiveto some families.Text 2It was late in the afternoon, and I was puttingthe final touch on a piece of writing that I wasfeeling pretty good about. I wanted to save it, but my cursor had frozen. I tried to shut the puter down, andit seized up altogether. Unsure of what else to do, I yanked (用力猛拉) the battery out:Unfortunately, Windows had been in the midst of a delicate and crucial undertaking. The next morning, when I turned my puter back on, it informed me that afile had been corrupted and Windows would not load. Then, it offered to repair itself by using the Windows Setup CD.“My puter is telling me a file is corrupted andit wants to fix itself, but I don' t have the Windows Setup CD. ”It quickly became clear that the woman was not a puter technician. Her job was to serve as a gatekeeper, a human shield for the technicians. Her sole duty, as far as I could tell, was to raise global stress levels.To make me disappear, the woman:gave me the phone number for Windows' creator, Microsoft. This is like giving someone the phone number for, I don' t know, North America. Besides, the CD worked; I just didn't have it. No matter how many times I repeated my story, we came back to the same place. She was calm and resolutely polite.When my voice hit a certain decibel (分贝), I was passed along, like a hot, irritable potato, to a technician.“You don' t have the Windows Setup CD, ma' am, because you don' t need it, ” he explained cheerfully.“Windows came preinstalled on your puter!”“But I do need it. ”“Yes, but you don't have it. ” We went on like this for a while. ,Finally, he offered to walk me through the use of a different CD, one that would erase my entire system. “Of course, you' d lose all your e-mail, your documents, your p hotos. ” It was like offering to drop a safe on my head to cure my headache. “You might be able to recover them, but it would be expensive. ” He sounded delighted. “And it' s not coveted by the warranty ( 产品保证书) !” The safe began to seem like a good idea, provided it was full.56. Why did the author shut down her puter abruptly?A. She had saved what she had written.B. She couldn't move the cursor.C. The puter refused to work.D. The puter offered to repair itself.57. Which of the following is the author' sopinion about the woman at the Global Support Centre?A. She sounded helpful and knowledgeable.B. She was there to make callers frustrated.C. She was able to solve her puter problem. ,D. She was quick to pass her along to a technician.58. According to the passage, the solution offered by the technician was __A. effectiveB. economicalC. unpracticalD. unacceptable59. “It was like offering to drop a safe on my head to cure my headache” in the last but one paragraph means thatA. the technician's proposal would make thingseven worseB. the technician' s proposal could eventually solve the problemC. files stored on her puter were like a safeD. erasing the entire system was like curing a headache60. It can be inferred from the passage that the differences between the Global Support Centre and the local repair shop lie in all the following EXCEPTA.efficiencyB. locationC. Setup CDsD. attitudeText 3Women' s minds work differently from men' s. At least, that is what most men are convinced of. Psychologists view the subject either as a matter or frustration or a joke. Now the biologists have moved into this minefield, and some of them have found that there are real differences between the brains of men and women. But being different, they point out hurriedly, is not the same as being better or worse.There is, however, a definite structural variation between the male and female brain. The difference is in a part of the brain that is used in the most plexintellectual processes-the link between the two halves of the brain.Research showed that these two halves of the brain had different functions, and that the corpus callosum enabled them to work together.

Mark your answers on ANSWER SHEET 1.Text 1In recent years, there has been a steady assault on salt from the doctors: salt is bad for you ? regardless of your health. Politicians also got on board. "There is a direct relationship," US congressman Neal Smith noted, "between the amount of sodiuma person consumes and heart disease, circulatory disorders, stroke and even early death."Frightening, if true! But many doctors and medical researchers are now beginning to feel the salt scare has gone too far. "All this hue and cry about eating salt is unnecessary," Dr. Dustan insists. "For most of us it probably doesn't make much difference how much salt we eat." Dustan's most recent short-term study of 150 people showed that those with normal blood pressure experienced no change at all when placed on an extremely low-salt diet, or later when salt was reintroduced. Of the hypertensive subjects, however, half of those on the low-salt diet did experience a drop in blood pressure, which returned to its previous level when salt was reintroduced."An adequate to somewhat excessive salt intake has probably saved many more lives than it has cost in the general population," notes Dr. John H. Laragh. "So a recommendation that the whole population should avoid salt makes no sense."Medical experts agree that everyone should practice reasonable "moderation" in salt consumption. For the average person, a moderate amount might run from four to ten grams a day, or roughly 1/2 to 1/3 of a teaspoon. The equivalent of one to two grams of this salt allowance would come from the natural sodium in food. The rest would be added in processing, preparation or at the table.Those with kidney, liver or heart problems may have to limit dietary salt, if their doctor advises. But even the very vocal "low salt" exponent, Dr. Arthur Hull Hayes, Jr. admits that "we do not know whether increased sodium consumption causes hypertension." In fact, there is growing scientific evidence that other factors may be involved: deficiencies in calcium, potassium, perhaps magnesium; obesity (much more dangerous than sodium); genetic predisposition;stress."It is not your enemy," says Dr. Laragh. "Salt is the No. 1 natural component of all human tissue, and the idea that you don't need it is wrong. Unless your doctor has proven that you have a salt-related health problem, there is no reason to give it up."【2016年全国英语等级考试(PETS5)模拟练习题及答案】。

Chinese people “cross roads without thinking about traffic lig hts, so long as they are part of a crowd”, said a post on Sina Weibo.A CCTV news program showed that in only an hour, more than 600 people jumped red lights when crossing a road at an intersection (十字路口) in Shijiazhuang, Hebei.Many people say that they jaywalk because the red light lasts too long. Such an opinion is supported by a research team at Tongji University. Theyfound that Chinese people would wait for 70 to 90 seconds before they lost their patience.“People are likely to ignore the light when t he waiting time is longer than they can bear,” said Ni Ying, a member of the research team.However, a survey on Sina Weibo suggested that nearly half of respondents (调查对象) believe that people jaywalk mainly because they disregard rules.Many countries give out punishments to jaywalkers. In Singapore, the maximum can be three months in prison. Some Chinese cities have started taking some actions, too. For example, the first three people in a jaywalking group will be fined 50 yuan in Shijiazhuang.But callin g on people to respect rules is more important. “To completely solve the problem, everyone should realize the importance of obeying the traffic rules,” Wang Jianping, a professor at Sichuan University, said to Huaxi Metropolis Daily.1.

Answer the questions on each text by choosing A, B, C or D. Mark your answers on the ANSWER SHEET by drawing a thick line across the corresponding letter in the brackets.Text 1After a busy day of work and play, the body needs to rest. Sleep is necessary for good health. During this time, the body recovers from the activities of the previous day. The rest that you get while sleeping enables your body to prepare itself for the next day.There are four levels of sleep, each being a little deeper thanthe one before. As you sleep, your muscles relax little by little. Your heart beats more slowly, and your brain slows down. After you reach the fourth level, your body shifts back and forth from one level of sleep to the other.Although your mind slows down, from time to time you will dream. Scientists who study sleep state that when dreaming occurs, your eyeballs begin to move more quickly (Although your eyelids are closed). This stage of sleep is called REM, which stands for rapid eye movement.If you have trouble falling asleep, some people recommend breathing very deeply. Other people believe that drinking warm milk will help make you drowsy. There is also an old suggestion the counting sheep will put you to sleep!46 A good title for this passage is ____.A. Sleep C. DreamsB. Good Health D. Work and Rest47. The word drowsy in the last paragraph means ____.A. sick C. asleepB. stand up D. a little sleepy48. This passage suggests that not getting enough sleep might make you _____.A. dream more often C. nervousB. have poor health D. breathe quickly49. During REM, ____.A. your eyes move quickly C. you are restlessB. you dream D. both A and B50. The average number of hours of sleep that an adult needs is ______ .A. approximately six hours C. about eight hoursB. around ten hours D. not stated hereText 2Obviously television has both advantages and disadvantages.In the first place, television is not only a convenient source of entertainment, but also a comparatively cheap one. With a TV set in the family people don’t have to pay for expensive seats at the theatre, the cinema, or the opera .All they have to so is to push a button or turn a knob, and they can see plays, films, operas and shows of every kind. Some people, however, think that this is where the danger lies. The television viewers need do nothing. He does not even have to use his legs if the has a remote control. He makes no choice and exercises, no judgment. He is completely passive and has everything presented to him without any effort in his part.Television, it is often said, keeps one informed about current events and the latest developments in science and politics. The most distant countries and the strangest customs are brought right into one’s sitting room. It could be argued that the radio performs this service as well; but on television everything is much more living, much more real. Yet here again there is a danger. The television screen itself has a terrible, almost physical charm for us. We get so used to looking at the movements on it ,so dependent on its pictures, that it begins to control our lives. People are often heard to say that their television sets have broken down and that they have suddenly found that they have far more time to do things and the they have actually begin to talk to each other again. It makes one think, doesn’t it?There are many other arguments for and against television. We must realize that television itself is neither good nor bad. It is the uses that it is put to that determine its value to society.51. What is the major function of paragraph 1?A. To arouse the reader’s concernB. To introduce the theme of the whole passageC. To summarize the whole passageD. To sate the primary uses of TV52. Television, as a source of entertainment, is ______.A. not very convenientB. very expensiveC. quite dangerousD. relatively cheap53. Why are some people against TV?A. Because TV programs re not interestingB. Because TV viewers are totally passiveC. Because TV prices are very high.D. Because TV has both advantages and disadvantages54. One of the most obvious advantages of TV is that ______.A. it keeps us informedB. it is very cheapC. it enables us to have a restD. it controls our lives55. According to the passage, whether TV is good or not depends on _______ .A. its qualityB. people ’s attitude towards itC. how we use itD. when we use it。

During the festival, I can also eat delicious food, play with firecrackers and dress up in my best.5.What do you often do on Spring Festival?----It‟s the time for family reunions. We always have a big meal with the whole family and set off fireworks on New Year‟s Eve. We often watch CCTV Spring Festival Gala on that day. You know, on New Year‟s Eve, my parents and my relatives can stay up the whole night, but I can‟t.I often go to bed at midnight.6.What do your parents give to you during the Spring Festival?What do you give to your parents?----My parents always give me lucky money.

Do you celebrate it?----It is on December 25th, it‟s like the Spring Festival in China, and it is the most important festival in some western countries. On Christmas Eve, children will hang their stocking at the end of the bed, because they think Father Christmas will give them some gifts. They often put a Christmas tree in the living room and put some small lights and gifts in the tree. They will also have a big dinner with family members and send cards to friends.----I sometimes celebrate Christmas. My mother often buys a tree for me and we decorate it with bells, little gifts and so on. I usually send cards to my friends.14. Do you know anything about April fool‟s Day?----This is the most interesting festival in the world. It is on April the first, on that day, we can tease with each other, it is a happy day but please don‟t believe anyone on April Fool‟s Day.People always say …Happy April Fool‟s Day‟ after they play jokes on others to make someone look stupid or foolish.15.

You know, My family celebrate it and had a big dinner in a nice restaurant on this New Year‟s Eve.16. Why do you like festivals?----I really like festivals because I can get a holiday thanks to the festivals. Besides, I can also get a lot of presents or sometimes red envelops with money inside. Another reason for I love festivals is that we can have a party with my relatives and this kind of party can provide promoting the relationship among us.17. Do you have any plans for next Spring Festival?---- I also have some plans for the next festival. Maybe the next Spring Festival I will go to YunNan province.I have heard that YunNan is famous for a lot of old towns. So I want to go there to enjoy the views of thoseold but beautiful towns.Some useful paragraphs:The story of Nian: The origin of the Chinese New Year Festival can be traced back thousands of years with colorful legends and traditions. One of the most famous legends is that of Nian. It‟s an extremely cruel and ferocious monster/beast. Chinese believed that it ate people on New Year‟s Eve. To keep Nian away, people pasted red-paper in doors, lighted the touches, and set off firecrackers throughout the night. Because it is said that Nian feared the color red, the light of fire, and loud noises. Early the next morning, Nian was really kept away, so people gave each other the greetings of “Gongxi!”,or “Congratulations and prosperity! 恭喜发财”Lantern Festival:Lantern Festival is a Chinese traditional festival. It is celebrated on the fifteenth day of the first month of the lunar year. Lantern Festival is one of the biggest holidays in China. Several days before Lantern Festival, people begin to make lanterns. Lanterns are made in the shape of different animals, vegetables, fruits and many other things. While making lanterns people usually write riddles on lanterns. On the eve of Lantern Festival, all the lanterns are hung up. On Lantern Festival people go outside to have a look at the lanterns and guess the riddles on the lanterns. Perhaps you can see some wonderful folk performances, Dragon Dance. Everything is very interesting and everyone is very happy. Our life is rich and varied.Halloween:On October 31st , children dressed in costumes to knock on their neighbors‟ doors and yell “Trick or Treat” when the door opens. The meaning is: “Give me candy or I‟ll play a trick on you!”More and more adults celebrate Halloween. They dress up like historical or political figures, ghosts, witches, or monsters and go to the costume parties(化妆舞会).Pumpkins are also a symbol of Halloween.Santa Claus: He‟s a fat, bearded man who wears red and carries gifts in a sleigh drawn by eight flying reindeer throughout the world for all good boys and girls.There are so many festivals. One kind is traditional Chinese festivals, such as the Spring Festival, the Lantern Festival, Moon Festival, and so on. The other kind is foreign festivals, for example, Christmas, Father‟s Day, Mother‟s Day, and many others. Among all these festivals, I like the Spring Festival best, because I can get new clothes, I can get a lot of red envelops with people, I can have time to play with my friends and relatives. And one more special thing for the Spring Festival is that we can set off the fireworks. It is very beautiful in the sky. I like it very muchNowadays, the foreign festivals are more and more popular in China. Some of them are even more popular than some traditional Chinese festivals. But I think we should pay much more attention to the traditional festivals. As I know, some of the young children even don‟t know there is a festival called the Lantern Festival. And many young people they want to catch the fashion and care too much about the fashionable foreign festivals. So I think if we don‟t want to lose our history, just draw much more attention to the traditional festivals.Festivals (4)。

Mark your answers on ANSWER SHEET 1.Text 1In a three-month period last year, two Brooklynites had to be cut out of their apartments and carried to hospital on stretchers designed for transporting small whales. The National Association to Advance Fat Acceptance(NAAFA)argues that it was not their bined 900kg bulk that made them ill. Obesity, according to NAAFA, is not bad for you. And, even if it was, there is nothing to be done about it, because genes dictate weight. Attempting to eat less merely slows metabolism, having people as chubby as ever.This is the fadash movement that causes America' s slimming industry so much pain. In his book Bin Fat Lies(Ballantine, 1996), Glenn Gaesser says that no study yet has convincingly shown that weight is an independent cause of health problems. Fatness does not kill people; things like hypertension, coronary heart diseases and cancer do. Mi-chael Fnmento, author of The Fat of the Land (Viking, 1997), an anti-fatlash diatribe, pares Dr Gaesser's logic with saying that the guillotine did not kill Louis XVI: Rather, it was the severing of his vertebrae, the cutting of all the blood vessels in his neck, and.., the trauma caused by his head dropping several feet into a wicker basket.Being fat kills in several ways. It makes people far more likely to suffer from heart disease or high blood pres-sure. Even moderate obesity increases the chance of contracting diabetes. Being 40% overweight makes people 30% - 50% more likely to die of cancer, according to the American Cancer Society. Extreme fatness makes patients so much less likely to survive surgery that many doctors refuse to operate until they slim.The idea that being overweight is caused by obesity genes is not wholly false: researchers have found a number of genes that appear to make some people burn off energy at a slower rate. But genes are not destiny. The difference between someone with a genetic predisposition to gain weight and someone without appears to be roughly 40 calori-es-or a spoonful of mayonnaise--a day.An alternative fatlash argument, advanced in books such as Dean Onrush' s Eat More, Weight Less ( Harper Collies, 1993 ) and Date Atrens' s Don' t Diet ( William Morrow, 1978), is that fatness is not a matter of eating too much. They note that as Americans' weight has ballooned over the last few decades, their reported caloric intake has plunged. This simply explains people' s own recollection of how much they eat is extremely unreliable. And as they grow fatter, people feel guilty and are more likely to fib about how much they eat. All reputable studies show that eating less and exercising reduce weight.Certainly, the body' s metabolism slows a little when you lose weight, because it takes less energy to carry less bulk around, and because dieting can make the body fear it is about to starve. But a sensible low-fat diet makes weight loss possible. The fatlash movement is dangerous, because slimmers will often find any excuse to give up.To tell people that it is healthy to be obese is to encourage them to live sick and die young.51. The two Brooklynites in the first paragraph were __[A] members of the NAAFA[B] typical victims of overweight[ C] members of the "fatlash" movement[ D] proof that the fatlash movement is gaining strength52. The National Association to Advance Fat Acceptance holds that __[A ] fat people should try to lose weight[ B ] eating less is harmful to people' s health[C ] fat people were horn that way[ D ] obesity is good for people53. What can be concluded according to the author's view of the "obesity genes"?[A] People with a genetic inclination to gain weight Can slim. [ B ] People who are horn fat will remain that way all life. [ C ] All efforts to lose weight will prove fruitless. [ D ] Fat people can live a very happy life, too.54. The word "fib" in the fourth sentence of Paragraph 5, probably means __[ A] to tell the truth[ B ] to reduce[ C] to increase[ D ] to tell a small lie55. Which of the following statements is true?[ A ] Americans' caloric intake has dropped over the last few decades.[ B ] Many people who try to lose weight give up half way.[ C ] Americans are always aware of how much they eat. [ D ] Obesity does no harm to people' s health.Text 2The issue of online privacy in the Internet age found new urgency following the Sept. ll terrorist attacks, sparking debate over striking the correct balance between protecting civil liberties and attempting to prevent another tragic terrorist act. While preventing terrorism certainly is of paramount importance, privacy rights should not be deemed irrelevant.In response to the attacks, Congress quickly passed legislation that included provisions expanding rights of investi-gators to intercept wire, oral and electronic munications of alleged hackers and terrorists. Civil liberties groups ex-pressed concerns over the provisions and urged caution in ensuring that efforts to protect our nation do not result in broad government authority to erode privacy rights of U. S. citizens. Nevertheless, causing further concern to civil liberties groups, the Department of Justice proposed exceptions to the attorney-client privilege. On Oct. 30, Attorney General John Ashcroft approved an interim agency rule that would permit federal prison authorities to monitor wire and electronic munications between lawyers and their clients in federal custody, including those who have been de-tained but not charged with any crime, whenever surveillance is deemed necessary to prevent violence or terrorism.In light of this broadening effort to reach into munications that were previously believed to be "off-limits",the issue of online privacy is now an even more pressing concern. Congress has taken some legislative steps toward en-suring online privacy, including the Children' s Online Privacy Protection Act, and provided privacy protections for certain sectors through legislation such as the Financial Services Modernization Act. The legislation passed to date does not, however,provide a statutory scheme for protecting general online consumer privacy. Lacking definitive federal law, some states passed their own measures. But much of this legislation is inplete or not enforced. Moreover, it bees unworkable when states create different privacy standards; the Intemet does not know geographic boundaries,and panies and individuals cannot be expected to ply with differing, and at times conflicting, privacy rules.An analysis earlier this year of 751 U. S. and international Web sites conducted by Consumers International found that most sites collect personal information but fail to tell consumers how that data will be used, how security is maintained and what fights consumers have over their own information.At a minimum, Congress should pass legislation requiring Web sites to display privacy policies prominently, in-form consumers of the methods employed to collect client data, allow customers to opt out of such data collection,and provide customer access to their own data that has already been collected. Although various Intemet privacy bills were introduced in the 107th Congress, the focus shifted to expanding government surveillance in the wake of the ter-rorist attacks. Plainly, government efforts to prevent terrorism are appropriate. Exactly how these exigent circum-stances change the nature of the online privacy debate is stiff to be seen.56. Concerning the protection of privacy and increased surveillance of munication, the author seems to insist on[ A ] the priority of the former action[ B ] the execution of the latter at the expense of the former[C] tightening both policies at the same time[ D ] a balance between the two actions57. The author implies in the second paragraph that __[ A] the proposal of the Department of Justice is unjustified[ B ] surveillance of any suspect munication is necessary[ C ] civil liberties groups should not have shown such great concern[ D ] exceptions should be made in intercepting munications58. In the eyes of the author, the Financial Service Modernization Act __[ A ] serves no more than as a new patch on an old robe[ B ] indicates the Congress' s admirable move to protect privacy [ C ] invades online consumer privacy rather than protect it[ D] is deficient in that it leaves many sectors unshielded 59. Privacy standards made by individual states are ineffective because __[ A ] the standards of different states contradict each other[ B ] online munication is not restricted to any state[ C ] these standards ignore the federai law on the matter[ D ] these standards are only applicable to regional Web sites 60. The expression "opt out of such data collection" ( in the last paragraph) probably means __[ A ] pick out from such data the information one needs[ B ] shift through such data to collect one' s own information [ C ] evaluate the purpose for such data collection[ D ] choose not to be involved in such data collectioText 3The man behind this notion, Jack Maple, is a dandy who affects dark glasses, homburgs(翘边帽)and two-toe shoes;yet he has bee something of a legend in America's police departments. For some years, starting in New York and moving on to high-crime spots such as New Orleans and Philadelphia, he and his business partner, John Linder have marketed a two-tier system for cutting crime.First, police departments have to sort themselves out: root out corruption, streamline their bureaucracy, and make more contact with the public. Second, they have to adopt a puter system called stat which helps them to analyze statistics of all major crimes. These are constantly keyed into the puter, which then displays where and when they have occurred on a color-coded map, enabling the police to monitor crime trends as they happen and to spot high-crime areas. In New York, stat's statistical maps are analyzed each week at a meeting of the city's police chief and precinct captains.Messrs Maple and Linder ( "specialists in crime-reduction services" ) have no doubt that their system is a main contributor to the drop in crime. When they introduced it in New Orleans in January 1997, violent crime dropped by22% in a year;when they merely started working informally with the police department in Newark, New Jersey, vi-olent crime fell by 13%. Police departments are now lining up to pay as much as $50, 000 a month for these two men to put them straight.Probably all these new policies and bits of technical wizardry, added together, have made a big difference to crime. But there remain anomalies that cannot be explained, such as the fact that crime in Washington D. C. , has fallen as fast asanywhere, although the police department has been corrupt and hopeless and, in large stretches of the city, neither police nor residents seem disposed to fight the criminals in their midst.The more important reason for the fall in crime rates, many say, is a much less sophisticated one. It is a fact that crime rates have dropped as the imprisonment rate soared. In 1997 the national incarceration rate, at 645 per 100,000 people was more than double the rate in 1985, and the number of inmates in city and county jails rose by 9.4%, almost double its annual average increase since 1990. Surely some criminologists argue, one set of figures is the cause of the other. It is precise because more people are being sent to prison, they claim that crime rates are falling.A 1993 study by the National Academy of Sciences actualiy concluded that the tripling of the prison population be-tween 1975 and 1989 had lowered violent crime by 10-15%.Yet cause and effect may not be so obviously linked. To begin with, the sale and possession of drugs are not counted by the FBI in its crime index, which is limited to violent crimes and crimes against property. Yet drug of-fences account for more than a third of the recent increase in the number of those jailed; since 1980, the incarceration rate for drug arrests has increased by 1,000%. And although about three-quarters of those going to prison for drugoffences have mitted other crimes as well, there is not yet a crystal-clear connection between filling the jails withdrug-pushers and a decline in the rate of violent crime. Again, though national figures are suggestive, local ones di-verge: the placer where crime has dropped most sharply( such as New York City)are not always the places where in-carceration has risen fastest.61. Jack Maple started his career in __[ A] Philadelphia [ B ] Oregon[ C ] New Orleans [ D ] New York62. According to,Jack Maple, to cut crime __[ A ] the,heads of police department should make more contact with the criminals[ B ] the government should educate the residents more[ C]a puter system called stat should be adopted by the police[D] tbe criminals should be severely punished63. ln New Yerk_______.[ A] violent crime dropped by 23% in one year[ B ] police departments pay as much as $ 50, 000 for Jack Maple[ C ] the crime rate is high[ D ] stat's statistical maps are analyzed every week64. The meaning of the word "anomalies" in the second line of 4th paragraph is ___________[ A ] something strange[ B ] enjoyable things[ C ] anormally[ D ] parison65. It can be inferred from the passage that ___________[ A ] the drop of crime rote is caused by Jack Maples's two-tier system[ B ] the drop of crime rate is caused by the increased imprisonment[ C ] it is difficult to identify the exact cause for the fall of crime rate[ D ] the increased imprisonment is not the reason for the fall of crime ratePart B:In the following article some paragraphs have been removed.

Mark your answers on SHEET 1.Does the publisher of Douglas Starr's excellent Blood--An Epic History of Medicine and merce actually ex-pect to sell many copies? Whoever chose the title is certain to scare off the squeamish, and the subtitle, which makes the effort sound like a dry, dense survey text, has really done this book a disservice. In fact, the brave and curious -will enjoy a brightly written, intriguing, and disquieting book, with some important lessons for public health.66.___________________________________The book begins with a historical view on centuries of lore about blood--in particular, the belief that blood car-ried the evil humors of disease and required occasional draining. As recently as the Revolutionary War, Bloodletting was widely applied to treat fevers. The idea of using one person's blood to heal another is only about 75 years old--although rogue scientists had experimented with transfusing animal blood at least as early as the 1600s. The first transfusion experimentsinvolved stitching a donor's vein (in early cases the physician's) to a patient's vein.67.___________________________________Sabotaged by notions about the" purity"of their groups' blood, Japan and Germany lagged well behind the Al-lies in transfusion science. Once they realized they were losing injured troops the Allies had learned to save, they tried to catch up, conducting horrible and unproductive experiments such as draining blood from POWs and injecting them with horse blood or polymers.68.___________________________________During the early to mid-1980s, Start says, 10,000 American hemophiliacs and 12,000 others contracted HIV from transfusions and receipt of blood products. Blood banks both here and abroad moved slowly to acknowledge the threat of the virus and in some cases even acted with criminal negligence, allowing the distribution of blood they knew was tainted. This is not new material. But Starr's insights add a dimension to a story first explored in the late Randy Shilts's And the Bond Played On.69.___________________________________Is the blood supply safe now.'? Screening procedures and technology have gotten much more advanced. Yet it's disturbing to read Starr's contention that a person receiving multiple transfusions today has about a 1 in 90,000 chance of contracting HIV--far higher than the" one in a million" figure that blood bankers once blithely and falsoly quoted. Moreover, new pathogens threaten to emerge and spread through the increasingly high-speed, global blood-product network faster than science can stop them. This prompts Start to argue that today's blood stores are"simulta-neously safer and more threatening" than when distribution was less sophisticated.70.___________________________________A. The massive wartime blood drives laid the groundwork for modem blood-banking, which has saved count-less lives. Unfortunately, these developments also set the stage for a great modem tragedy--the spread of AIDS through the international blood supply.B. There is so much drama, power, resonance, and important information in this book that it would be a shame if the squeamish were scared off. Perhaps the key lesson is this : The public health must always be guarded against the pressures and pitfalls of petitive markets and human fallibility.C. In his chronicle of a resource, Start covers an enormous amount of ground. He gives us an account of mankind's attitudes over a 400-year period towards this "precious, mysterious, and hazardous material" ; of medicine's efforts to understand, control, and develop blood's life-saving properties;and of the multibillion- dollar industry that benefits from it. He describes disparate institutions that use blood, from the military and the pharmaceutical industry to blood banks. The culmination is a rich examination of how something as hor- rifying as distributing blood tainted with the HIV virus could have occurred.D. The book's most interesting section considers the huge strides transfusion science took during World War I1. Medicine benefited significantly from the initiative to collect and supply blood to the Allied troops and from new trauma procedures developed to administer it. It was then that scientists learned to separate blood into useful elements, such as freeze-dried plasma and clotting factors, paving the way for both battlefield miracles and dramatic improvement in the lives of hemophiliacs.E. Starr's tale ends with a warning about the safety of today's blood supply.F. Starr obtained memos and other evidence used in Japanese, French, and Canadian criminal trials over the tainted-blood distribution. (American blood banks enjoyed legal protections that made U. S. trials more plex and provided less closure for those harmed. ) His account of the French situation is particularly poignant. Start explains that in postwar France, donating blood was viewed as a sacred and patriotic act. Prison populations were urged to give blood as a way to connect more with society. Unfortunately, the French came to believe that such benevolence somehow offered a magical protection to the blood itself and that it would be unseemly to question volunteer donors about their medical history or sexual or drug prac-tices. bined with other factors, including greed and hubris, this led to tragedy. Some blood banks were collecting blood from high-risk groups as late as 1990, well into the crisis. And France, along with Canada, Japan, and even Britain, stalled approval and distribution of safer, American heat-treated plasma products when they became available, inpart because they were giving their domestic panies time to catch up with scientific advances.Part C:Answer questions 71 ~ 80 by referring to the following books.Note: Answer each question by choosing A, B, C or D and mark it on ANSWER SHEET 1. Some choices may be required more than once.A = BOOK 1B = BOOK 2C = BOOK 3D = BOOK 4Which book(s) say(s) that...•the climate affects the future sustainable agricultural development? 71.___________•environmental control is related with the national revenues? 72._____•the environmental problems ale not caused overnight? 73.___________•a variety of species are on the decrease? 74.___________•agriculture is also a factor for the degradation of environment? 75.___________•pollution call be controlled by increasing the production cost of polluting goods? 76.___________•pollution control needs the support of technology and techniques? 77.___________•provides lessons for agriculture,trade,land USe and tax policy from an economic perspective?78.___________•the degradation of environment cauSes the change of climate? 79.___________•the approaches to research should be adjusted to the changing situation?80.___________BOOK 1The book offers a prehensive perspective on the consequences and possible policy solutions for cli-matic change as we move into the twenty-first century. It assesses the impact of potential feature global climate change on agriculture and the need to sustain agricultural growth for the economic development.The book begins by examining the role of international research institutions in overing environmental con-straints on sustainable agricultural growth and economic development. The authors then discuss how agricultural re-search systems may be restructured to respond to global environmental problems such as climate change and loss of genetic diversity. The discussion then extends to consider environmental accounting and indexing, to illustrate how environmental quality can be included formally in measures of national ine, social welfare and sustainability.The third part of the book focuses on the effects of and policy responses to climate change. Chapters in this part ex-amine the effect of climate change on production, trade, land use patterns and livelihoods. They consider impacts on the distribution of ine between developed and developing countries remain a major economic activity. Authors take on an economy-wide perspective to draw lessons for agriculture, trade, land use and tax policy.BOOK 2The ozone layer is threatened by chemical cmissious; the climate is endangered from fossil and defor-estation, and global biodiversity is being lost by reason of thousands of years of habitat conversions. Global environ-mental problems arise out of the accumulated impacts from many years' and many countries' economic develop-ment. In order to address these problems the states of the world must cooperate to manage their development proces-ses together--this is what an international environmental agreement must do. But can the world' s countries cooper-ate successfully to manage global development? How should they manage it? Who should pay for the process, as well as for the underlying problems?This book presents an examination of both the problem and the process underlying international environmental lawmaking: the recognition of international interdependence, the negotiation of international agreements and the evo-lution of international resource management. It examines the general problem of global resource management by means of general principles and case studies and by looking at how and why specific negotiations and agreements have failed to achieve their targets.The book is designed as an introductory text for those studying global environmental policy making and institu-tion building. It will also be of interest to practitioners and policy rnakers and scholars in the areas of environmental economics and law.BOOK 3Industrialization to achieve economic development has resulted in global environmental degradation.While the impacts of industrial activity on the natural environment are a major concern in developed countries, muchless is known about these impacts in developing countries. This source book identifies and quantifies the environmen-tal consequences of industrial growth, and provides policy advice, including the use of clean technologies and envi-ronmentally sound production techniques, with special reference to the developing world.The developing world is often seen as having a high percentage of heavily polluting activities within its industrial sector. This, bined with a substantial agriculture sector, which contributes to deforestation, the erosion of the top soil and desertification, has led to extreme pressures on the environment and impoverishes the population by de-stroying its natural resource base. This crisis suggests that sound industrialization policies are of paramount impor-tance in developing countries' economic development, and calls for the management of natural resources and the a-doption of low-waste of environmentally clean technologies.The authors consider the industrial sector as a pollutant to other sectors of the economy, and then focus on some industrial-specific pollutants within the manufacturing sector and some process-specific industrial pollutants. Theyconclude by reviewing the economic implications of promoting environmentally sound industrial development, spe-cially adressing the question of the conflict or plementarily which may exist between environmental goods and in-dustrial production. BOOK 4This is an important book which presents new concepts of the marginal cost of substituting non-pollu-tive for pollutive goods. Technically in its approach it plements the other literature in the field and will be a sig-nificant contribution to the understanding of microeconomic issues in pollution control. The book focuses on the three main concepts: substitutions in consumption, emission abatement and exposure avoidance. The first part considers the adjustment of the scope and bination of goods produced as a method for controlling pollution.The author argues that pollution is controlled by increasing the relative price of the polluting goods in the pro-duction process, thereby reducing demand and subsequent production of the goods. In the second part, the discus-sion is extended to include the possibilities of preventing or abating emissions in relation to three models: first, pol-lution prevention when non-polluting inputs and processes are substituted for pollutants; second, when a proportion of the polluting output is recycled rather than being discarded; and finally end-of-pipe abatement where additionaltechnology is used. In conclusion, the author assesses the extent to which pollution damage is controlled by avoid-ance of emissions, with avoidance being modeled as an add-on technology with its own returns to scale.Section IV Writing(40 minutes )You will read a question .which says, "Which is a better source of news--newspaper or TV?"Write an article for the newspaper to clarify your own points of view towards this issue.

AReading is not the only way to gain knowledge of the work in the past. There is another large reservoir (知识库) which may be called experience,and the college student will find that every craftsman (工匠) has something he can teach and will generally teach gladly to any college student who does not look down upon them . The information from them differs from (不同于) that in textbooks and papers chiefly in that its theoretical (理论的) part ——the explanations of why things happen ——is frequently quite fantastic (神奇的) . But the demonstration (示范) and report of what happens , and how it happens are correct even if the reports are in completely unscientific terms (术语)。
