Choose the one that is most suitable and mark your answer by blackening the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet.Scientists have been struggling to find out the reason behind blushing(脸红). Why would human evolve(进化) a 21 that puts us at a social disadvantage by 22 us to reveal that we have cheated or lied.Charles Darwin pointed out that 23 all people of all races blush, animals do not. When it came to explaining the reason, he was 24 a loss. That has not stopped others from trying.One 25 is that blushing started out as a way to show we obey authoritative members of the group. Later, as our social interactions became 26 complex, it became involved with higher, self-conscious 27 such as guilt, shame and embarrassment. This would seem to put individuals ata disadvantage, but blushing might actually make it a person more 28 or socially desirable.29 that women blush more than men, one university researcher suggests that blushing might have evolved as a way for women to 30 their honesty to men so as to win their support in raising children. Some zoologists also think blushing could have emerged as away to foster trust. "If you were to go hunting31 a stone-faced partner, you could never 32 what he wants." he says. Once blushing became 33 with embarrassment, anyone who did not blush might have been at a disadvantage because we are 34 likely to trust someone who appears never to feel 35 about anything.21. A. response B. reply C. reflection D. recall22. A. forbidding B. forcing C. encouraging D. preventing23. A. when B. while C. since D. because24. A.on B. in C. at D. of25.

A. say B. speak C. tell D. talk33. A. united B. related C. contacted D. associated34. A. more B. that C. less D. so35. A. ashamed B. disappointed C. satisfied D. pleasedIV. Reading Comprehension (60 points)Directions: There are five reading passages in this part. Each passage is followed by five questions. For each question there are four suggested answers marked A, B, C and D. Choose one best answer and blacken the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet.Passage OneJune came and the hay(干草) was almost ready for cutting. On Midsummer's Eve, which was a Saturday, Mr. Jones went into Willington and got so drunk at the Red Lion that he did not come back until midday on Sunday. His men had milked the cows in the early morning and then had gone out chatting without bothering to feed the animals. When Mr. Jones got back, he immediately went to sleep on the living-room sofa with the "News of the World" over his face. When evening came, the animals were still not fed. At last, they could stand no longer. One of the cows broke into the door of the storehouse with her horns and all the animals began to help themselves to the grains.It was just then that Mr. Jones woke up. The next moment he and his four men were in the storehouse with whips in their hands, whipping in all directions. This was more than the hungry animals would bear. Together, though nothing of the kind had been planned beforehand, they jumped upon their masters. Mr. Jones and his men suddenly found themselves being stuck with the horns and kicked from all sides. The situation was quite out of their control. They had never seen animals act like this before. This sudden rebellion of the creatures, which they were used to beating and whipping just as they chose, frightened them. After only a moment or two, they gave up trying to defend themselves. A minute later all five of them were in full fright down the road with the animals running after them joyfully.36.The four men did not feed the cows because ______.A. they had not cut the hay yetB. Mr. Jones wasn't at homeC. they did not have time to feed themD. the cows had fed themselves37.The cows broke into the storehouse because ______.A. they did not like their mastersB. Mr. Jones forgot to lock the doorC. they were kept in the cow-house too longD. they were too hungry to wait for the feed38. What did the five men finally do with the cows?A. They chased and drove the cows away.B. They continued beating the cows.C. They gave up defense and ran away.D. They gave in and fed the cows.39. We can learn from the passage that ______.A .the cows often ran out to look for foodB. the cows often had fights with their mastersC. Mr. Jones and his men often beat the cowsD. Mr. Jones and his men often forgot to feed the cowsPassage TwoIt was sunrise on an August morning when the captain and his crew cast their nets some 50 miles south of Louisiana in the Gulf of Mexico. As the net was pulled over, the contents poured out followed by excited cries of "Coins! Coins!" The fishermen quickly realized they had realized a fisherman's dream: sunken treasure! And not just any treasure, but early American silver dollars that had gone down 210 years earlier.In 1784, at the end of the American Revolutionary War, a heavily armed ship was bound for the port of New Orleans. On board was a fortune in Spanish Silver Dollars. Hundreds of thousands of them were loaded for the trip to New Orleans, yet not a single one arrived. With no survivors from the ill-fated voyage, historians can only guess at what happened. Some say powerful storms took her down while others speculate it was treasure-hungry pirates(海盗). Whatever happened, the secret -- along with a treasure valued near $ 100,000,000 in today's dollars -- was sent to a watery grave some 300 feet below the ocean's surface.Spanish Silver Dollars were the favorite coins of colonial Americans. Widely used and accepted as payment in the thirteen colonies, the United States government gave them the status of official legal tender. Unfortunately, even though they were struck in large quantities, not many of them survive today. After the Civil War, the government withdrew them from circulation and they were melted down.Due to the historic discovery of this treasure, GovMint. com is releasing these coins to the public for an amazingly low price. For a limited time, these authentic silver dollars are priced at $49 plus shipping and handling -- a dramatic reduction from the market price of this coin anywhere else worldwide.40. What surprised the fishermen on an August morning?A. Their net contained a big strange-looking fish.B. They found the treasure sunken 210 years ago.C. They found some pieces of a sunken ship in the net.D. Their net suddenly got caught by something deep in the water.41.What happened to the ship heading for New Orleans in 1874?.A. Loaded with too much cargo, it hit on the rocks.B. Robbed by pirates, it cost $100,000,000's worth of goods.C. It disappeared but nobody knew exactly what had happened.D. It was caught in a terrible storm and went down into the ocean.42.What do we know about "Spanish Silver Dollars"?A. Today one coin equals to 49 dollars in the world market.B. They were widely used in America after the Civil War.C. Issued in small amounts, not many of them survive.D. They were officially accepted in the 13 colonies.43.In which section of a magazine would you probably find this article?A. Sports.B. Housing.C. History.D. Fashion.Passage ThreeThe environment affects the way people interact. To examine this conclusion, two researchers "decorate" three rooms. One room was refurnished to look ugly. The second room was intended to look average. The third room was designed to be beautiful. Individuals were asked to sit in one of the three rooms and rate several pictures of people's faces. The results indicated that the environment has a significant effect on the way people rated the faces. Subjects in the beautiful room gave the pictures higher rates than did subjects in the ugly room. In addition, subjects in the ugly room found the task more unpleasant and boring than did subjects assigned to the beautiful room.Color is one environmental factor that can affect your mood and even your ability to concentrate. One researcher concluded that the most pleasant colors, listed in order of preference, were blue, green, purple, red and yellow. The colors listed from most to least arousing were red, orange, yellow, violet, blue and green.Lighting also affects behavior. Elegant restaurants with dim lighting create a mood of intimacy(亲密) that encourages conversation. The bright lights of an office or classroom, on the other hand, arouse and stimulate thinking.Room decoration, color, lighting, and even music and temperature all influence communication with others, but there is no all-purpose environment. The ideal environment depends on the task that will be performed as well as on the needs and expectations of those present. The same environmental factors that encourage lively conversation and dancing at a New Year's Eve party cannot be expected to create a serene climate in which to study for final exams.44.Paragraph 1 shows that subjects in the ugly room tend to be ______.A. less patientB. less considerateC. more enthusiasticD. more confident45.Which color is the most helpful for keeping a good mood?A. GreenB. BlueC. OrangeD. Red46.What effect can dim lights of an eating environment bring about?A. Arousing active thinking.B. Improving work efficiency.C. Creating a tense atmosphere.D. Stimulating talks among people.47.The underlined word "serene" in the last sentence is closest in meaning to ______.A. serious and graveB. calm and peacefulC. pleasant and friendlyD. cold and indifferentPassage FourThere is nothing more possible than a new hip or knee that can put the spring back in your step. Patients receiving joint implants(移植) often are able to resume many of the physical activities they love, even those as vigorous as tennis and hiking. No wonder, then, that joint replacement is growing in popularity.In the United States in 2007, surgeons performed about 806,000 hip and knee implant (the joints most commonly replaced), double the number performed a decade earlier. Though these procedures have become routine, they are not failure free.Implants must sometimes be replaced, said Dr. Henrik Malchau, an orthopedic surgeon (矫形外科医生) at Massachusetts General Hospital in Boston. A study published in 2007 found that 7 percent of hips implanted in Medicare patients had to be replaced within seven and a half years.The percentage may sound low, but the finding suggests that thousands of hip patients eventually require a second operation, said Dr. Malchau. Those patients must endure additional recoveries, often painful, and increased medical expenses.The failure rate should be lower, many experts agree. Sweden, for instance, has a failure rateestimated to be a third of that in the United States. Sweden also has a national joint replacement registry, a database of information from which surgeons can learn how and why certain procedures go wrong. A registry also helps surgeons learn quickly whether a specific type of implant is particularly problematic. "Every country that has developed a registry has been able to reduce failure rate significantly," said Dr. Daniel Berry, chief of orthopedic surgery at the Mayo Clinic in Rochester, Minn.A newly formed American Joint Replacement Registry will begin gathering data from hospitals in the next 12 to 18 months. It's good news for those who are considering replacing a knee or hip.48.What is the problem with hip or knee replacements in the U.S.?A.A lots of patients need a second operation.B. Doctors are not well trained to ensure successful operations.C. Demands for hip replacements exceed the number of surgeons.D. Replacement operation is becoming too expensive in U.S. hospitals.49.Why does Sweden have a lower rate of hip implant failure?A. Sweden has more advanced technology.B. Sweden has a patient data collecting system.C. Sweden has a much larger number of patients.D. Swedish doctors are most responsible and skillful.50.The U.S. Is trying to reduce joint replacement failure rate by ______.A. strictly controlling the number of replacement operations.B. asking hospitals to follow up each case for 12-18 months.C. setting up a national joint replacement database.D. sending doctors to be trained in Sweden.51.People who need a new knee or hip would possibly feel ______ about data gathering in the U.S.A. indifferentB. assuredC. puzzledD. hopefulPassage FiveThe Saturday Evening Post "became symbolic of the reading fare of middle-class America". In 1897 Curtis began to revive(重振) the Post on the proposition that a man's chief interest in life is the fight for livelihood -- business. Fiction and articles about romantic business and successful businessmen filled its pages, and products backed by its advertisements directed at the needs anddesires of the business world. The general interest weekly reached new audiences. Its conservative viewpoint and strong admiration for material success appealed to the tastes of the millions who settled in an easy chair with it each Thursday evening. As a more commercial, mass-circulation magazine than The New Yorker, the widely readable Post set out to interpret America to itself.As a national and international institution, The Saturday Evening Post made its mark in the lives of massive numbers of men and women, and served society as a stabilizing influence. Its editorial matter addressed the problems and interests of the readers as never before. Neither highbrow nor lowbrow, the Post set out to interpret average middle-class America, for that was its audience. However, this magazine lost touch with the mood of the American people in the 1930s. The Post's editor Lorimer, opposed Roosevelt and the New Deal and changed his magazine from an organ of entertainment and enlightenment into a weapon of political warfare. He believed that in opposing the New Deal he had spoken for the majority of voters, but the 1936 election proved him wrong. His conservatism extended beyond politics, it dominated the magazine's content and style causing a decline in reputation and authority. The Post met its greatest success when it went beyond the tastes of the masses, challenging its readers to acknowledge the genius of contributors such as F. Scott Fitzgerald and William Faulkner. It was later reformed in an effort to fulfill its responsibility to awaken lethargic(昏昏欲睡的) America, however, The Saturday Evening Post seemed to play to conventions while The New Yorker took off to redefine the character of American Humor.52.According to Paragraph 1, who are primarily the readers of the Post?A. Businessmen.B. College students.C. HousewivesD. Politicians.53.What is the earliest time that readers can read the Post every week?A. Monday.B. ThursdayC. SaturdayD. Sunday54.Why did the Post lose much of its audience in the 1930s?A. It changed its original style and was heavily involved in politics.B. Readers couldn't afford a newspaper because of the Depression.C. The new editor was not interested in Roosevelt's politics.D. It failed to absorb sufficient advertisements.55.What makes the Post so commercially successful?A. Presenting American style humor.B. Sticking to the tastes of the middle-class.C. Carrying articles and novels by local writers.D. Staying in close contact with the business world.V. Daily Conversation (15 points)Directions: Pick out the appropriate expressions from the eight choices below and complete the following dialogues by blackening the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet.A.When do you need itB. Do you have anyavailableC. What do you meanD. May I come overtomorrow to take a lookE. Can I leave a messageF. Can you give me thedetails about itG. that's probably it H. that's exactly what youwantSarah: Hello. I'm calling to rent an apartment you advertised.Manager: Yes. What kind of apartment are you interested in?Sarah: I'm interested in a one-bedroom apartment. 56 ?Manager: Yes, I have one. 57 ?Sarah: Sometime around next week. 58 ?Manager: Well, it's a one-bedroom apartment. The monthly rent is $650, with a $300 security deposit. You pay electricity only. Gas and water is included. You can use a sheltered parking space at no extra charge. And ... 59 .Sarah: Sounds good. 60 ?Manager: Sure. See you tomorrow then.VI. Writing (25 points)Directions: For this part ,you are supposed to write an essay in English in 100～120 words based on the following information. Remember to write it clearly.61. 请以低碳生活（a low carbon life）为主题写一篇100-120词的短文，内容包括：·流行低碳生活的背景（如：极端气候、各种灾害、环境污染等）；·实施低碳生活的若干方式（如家庭生活、工作学习、外出旅游中的节约行为等）；·低碳生活带来的积极影响。

exchanged in things that could be touched: food, tools, and precious metals and stones Then the barter system was replaced by coins,which still had real value since they were pieces of rare metal Coins were followed by fiat money,paper notes that have value only because everyone agrees to accept themToday electronic monetary systems are gradually being introduced that will transform money into even less tangible forms,reducing it to a series of “bits and bytes” ,or units of computerizedinformation,going between machines at the speed of light Already,electronic fund transfer allows money to be instantly sent and received by different banks,companies,and countries through computers and telecommunications devices1 Which of the following would be the most appropriate title for the passage?（）A International Banking PoliciesB The History of Monetary ExchangeC The Development of Paper CurrenciesD Current Problems in the Economy2 According to the passage,which of the following was the earliest kind of exchange of wealth?（）A Bartered goodsB Fiat moneyC Coin currencyD Intangible forms3 The author mentions food,tools and precious metals and stones together because they are all （）A

In short, we should learn the value of money and make the most of its advantages.。

Students may borrow up to$4,500annually from a bank,credit union,savings and loan association or other eligible lender.Repayment on these loans usually begins six months after the student leaves school.These loans carry no interest until this time.This current interest rate is9percent.Parents may borrow up to$300annually for each dependent college.Repayment begins forty-five days after receiving the loan,and the interest rate is 12percent.官方网址: 61.Which of the following is the main purpose?To remind students and their families to repay their loan.To compare interest rates.To inform students and parents of the various loans available.To show that government loans charge the least interest.62.The highest interest rate is charged to_______.A.full-time studentsB.parentsC.students borrowing from a credit unionD.half-time students63.If parents had three children in college how much could they borrow annually?A.900B.3,000C.300D.9,00064.According to the passage which of the following is true.The government lends students enrolled at least half time up to3,000annually. Students may borrow up to$4,500annually from four sources.Students enrolled less than half time may borrow money.The current interest rate from banks is5percent.65.It can be inferred from the passage that_______.the student’s school determines who is an eligible lendermoney is available for student loansstudents need not be enrolled half time to borrow moneythe interest rate on student loans is increasing官方网址: Passage TwoAre you aware that you actually possess six senses?The sixth is a muscular sense responsible for directing your muscles intelligently to the exact extent necessary for each action you perform.For example,when you reach for an object,the sensory nerves linking the muscles to the brain stop your hand at the correct spot.This automatic perception of the position of your muscles in relation to the object is your muscular sense in action.Muscles are stringly bundles of fibers varying from one five-thousandth of an inch to about three inches.They have three unique characteristics,they can become shorter and thicker;they can stretch;and they can retract to their original positions.Under a high-powered microscope,muscle tissue is seen as long,slender cells with a grainy texture like wood.More than half of a person’s body is composed of muscle fibers,most of which are involuntary—in other words,work without conscious direction.The voluntary muscles, those that we move consciously to perform particular actions,number more than five hundred.Women have only60to70percent as much muscle as men for their body mass. That is why an average woman can’t lift as much,throw as far,or hit as hard as an average man.66.According to the selection,the muscular sense is responsible for______.A.the efficiency of our musclesB.the normal breathing functionC.directing our muscles intelligentlyD.the work of only our involuntary muscles67.Intelligent use of the muscles means that________.one always knows what his muscles are doingone performs simple actions whithout workingone’s muscles are used only to the extent necessary for each action they performone improves muscular action consciously68.Muscles are unique fibers because,they can________.官方网址:A.contractB.stretchC.retractD.do all of the above69.Under a microscope,muscle cells appear to be_______.A.textured like woodB.colored like woodC.smooth and redD.short and thick70.According to the selection more than half of a person’s body is composed of ______.A.voluntary musclesB.involuntary musclesC.muscle fibersD.sensory nervesPassage ThreeThe large part which war played in English affairs in the Middle-Ages,the fact that the control of the army and navy was in the hands of those that spoke French,and the circumstances that much of English fighting was done in France all resulted in the introduction into English of a number of French military terms.The art of war has undergone such changes since the battles of Hastings,Lewes,and Agincourt that many words once common are now only in historical use.Their places have been taken by later borrowings,often like wise from French,many of them being words acquired by the French in the course of their wars in Italy during the sixteenth century.Yet we still use French words of the Middle Ages when we speak of the army and the navy,of peace, enemy,battle,soldier,guard and spy,and we have kept the names of officers such as captain and sergeant.Some of the French terms were introduced into English because they were needed to express a new object or a new idea.In other cases a French and a native English word for the same thing existed side by side.Sometimes one or the other has since been lost from the language;but sometimes both the borrowed and the native word have been still in common use.71.The main idea of this passage is that______.most of today’s common English military terms dated from the sixteenth century or later官方网址:a study of the English vocabulary shows the important part which war has played in the history of Englandmany French words borrowed into English during the Middle Ages have since disappeared from the languagemany military terms used in English were originally borrowed from French,some as early as the Middle Ages72.All of the following have something to do with the introduction into English of many French military terms except that_______.war played an important part in English affairs in the Middle Agesthe English army and navy were controlled by those who spoke French in the war between England and FranceFrance invaded England in the Middle Ages and many battles were fought in Englandmuch of English fighting was done in France in the war between England and France73.The art of war has undergone such changes that_______.we no longer use any French words of the Middle Agesmany words once common are not used any longer and they are replaced by Italian wordsFrench military terms have disappeared from the English languagemany words once common are now only in historical use and their places have been taken by the newly-borrowed words74.Which of the following is not the French word borrowed into English during the Middle Ages?A.sergeantB.battleC.spyD.fight75.The writer takes the words“battle”and“fight”as an example to show______.官方网址: French words are needed to express something newa French and a native word for the same thing have been still in common use side by side French word or the other has been lost from the English language“battle”is the borrowed word and“fight”is the native onePassage Four“Fingers were made before forks”when a person gives up good manners,puts aside knife and fork,and dives into his food,someone is likely to repeat that saying.The fork was an ancient agricultural tool,but for centuries no one thought of eating with it.Not until the eleventh century,when a young lady from Constantinople brought her fork to Italy,did the custom reach Europe.By the fifteenth century the use of the fork was widespread in Italy.The English explanation was that Italians were averse to eating food touched with fingers,“Seeing all men’s fingers are not alike clean.”English travellers kept their friends in stitches while describing this ridiculous Italian custom.Anyone who used a fork to eat with was laughed at in England for the next hundred years.Men who used forks were thought to be sissies,and women who used them were called show-offs and overnice.Not until the late1600’s did using a fork become a common custom.76.The custom of eating with a fork was_______.A.brought to Europe from AmericaB.begun when forks were inventedC.brought to Europe from AsiaD.invented by Italians77.By the fifteenth century forks were used_______.A.all over ItalyB.only in ConstantinopleC.widely in EuropeD.In England官方网址:78.To English travellers in Italy,the use of forks seemed_______.A.cleverB.necessaryC.good mannerD.ridiculous79.The English thought that Italians used forks in order to________.A.imitate the people of the EastB.keep their food cleanC.impress visitors with their good mannersD.amuse the English80.In England,people who used forks at that time were considered______.A.well manneredB.sissiesC.show-offs and overniceD.both B and CⅤ.Writing(20points)Directions:For this part,you are allowed20minutes to write a short composition of about80words on the title:The Bicycle in China.Base your composition on the outline given below. 1.在中国，自行车是最为流行的交通工具。

Choose the one that is most suitable and mark your answer by blackening thecorresponding letter on the Answer Sheet.Scientists have been struggling to find out the reason behind blushing (脸红). Why would humans evolve(进化) a21 that puts us at a social disadvantage by 22 us to reveal that we have cheated or lied?Charles Darwin pointed out that 23 all people of all races blush，animals do not. When it came to explaining the reason, he was 24 a loss. That has not stopped others from trying.One 25 is that blushing started out as a way to show we obey authoritative members of the group. Later, as our social interactions became 26 complex, it became involved with higher, self-conscious 27 such as guilt, shame and embarrassment. This would seem to put individuals ata disadvantage，but blushing might actually make a person more 28 or socially desirable.29 that women blush more than men，one university researcher suggests that blushing might have evolved as a way for women to 30 their honesty to men so as to win their support in raising children. Some zoologists also think blushing could have emerged as a way to foster trust. " If you were to go hunting 31 a stone-faced partner，you could never 32 what he wants. “he says.Once blushing became 33 with embarrassment, anyone who did not blush might have been at a disadvantage because we are 34 likely to trust someone who appears never to feel 35 about anything.21.

Choose onebest answer and blacken the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet.Passage OneJune came and the hay(干草) was almost ready for cutting. On Midsummer's Eve, which was a Saturday, Mr. Jones went into Willington and got so drunk at the Red Lion that he did not come back until midday on Sunday. His men had milked the cows in the early morning and then had gone out chatting without bothering to feed the animals. When Mr. Jones got back, he immediately went to sleep on the living-room sofa with the "News of the World" over his face. When evening came, the animals were still not fed. At last, they could stand no longer. One of the cows broke into the door of the storehouse with her horns and all the animals began to help themselves to the grains.It was just then that Mr. Jones woke up. The next moment he and his four men were in the storehouse with whips in their hands，whipping in all directions. This was more than the hungry animals would bear. Together, though nothing of the kind had been planned beforehand，they jumped upon their masters. Mr. Jones and his men suddenly found themselves being struck with the horns and kicked from all sides. The situation was quite out of their control. They had never seen these animals act like this before. This sudden rebellion of the creatures，which they were used to beating and whipping just as they chose，frightened them. After only a moment or two，they gave up trying to defend themselves. A minute later all five of them were in full fright down the road with the animals running after them joyfully.36. The four men did not feed the cows because_______.A. they had not cut the hay yetB. Mr. Jones wasn't at homeC. they did not have time to feed themD. the cows had fed themselves37. The cows broke into the storehouse because______.A. they did not like their mastersB. Mr. Jones forgot to lock the doorC. they were kept in the cow-house too longD. they were too hungry to wait for the feed38. What did the five men finally do with the cows?A. They chased and drove the cows away.B. They continued beating the cows.C. They gave up defense and ran away.D. They gave ·in and fed the cows.39. We can learn from the passage that______.A. the cows often ran out to look for foodB. the cows often had fights with their mastersC. Mr. Jones and his men often beat the cowsD. Mr. Jones and his men often forgot to feed the cowsPassage TwoIt was sunrise on an August morning when the captain and his crew cast their nets some 50 miles south of Louisiana in the Gulf of Mexico. As the net was pulled over, the contents poured out followed by excited cries of "Coins! Coins!" The fishermen quickly realized they had realized a fisherman's dream: sunken treasure! And not just any treasure, but early American silver dollars thathad gone down 210 years earlier.In 1784, at the end of the American Revolutionary War, a heavily armed ship was bound for the port of New Orleans. On board was a fortune in Spanish Silver Dollars. Hundreds of thousands of them were loaded for the trip to New Orleans，yet not a single one arrived. With no survivors from the ill-fated voyage, historians can only guess at what happened. Some say powerful storms took her down while others speculate it was treasure-hungry pirates(海盗). Whatever happened, the secret-along with a treasure valued near $100，000,000 in today' s dollars-was sent to a watery grave some 300 feet below the ocean's surface.Spanish Silver Dollars were the favorite coins of colonial Americans. Widely used and accepted as payment in the thirteen colonies, the United States government gave them the status of official legal tender. Unfortunately, even though they were struck in large quantities, not many of them survive today. After the Civil War, the government withdrew them from circulation and they were melted down.Due to the historic discovery of this treasure, GovMint . com is releasing these coins to the public for an amazingly low price. For a limited time, those authentic silver dollars are priced at $49 plus shipping and handling—a dramatic reduction from the market price of this coin anywhere else worldwide.40. What surprised the fishermen on an August morning?A. Their net contained a big strange-looking fish.B. They found the treasure sunken 210 years ago.C. They found some pieces of a sunken ship in the net.D. Their net suddenly got caught by something deep in the water.41. What happened to the ship heading for New Orleans in 1784?A. Loaded with too much cargo, it hit on the rocks.B. Robbed by pirates , it lost $100,000,000's worth of goods.C. It disappeared but nobody knew exactly what had happened.D. It was caught in a terrible storm and went down into the ocean.42. What do we know about "Spanish Silver Dollars"?A. Today one coin equals to 49 dollars in the world market.B. They were widely used in America after the Civil War.C. Issued in small amounts, not many of them survive.D. They were officially accepted in the 13 colonies.43. In which section of a magazine would you probably find this article?A. Sports.B. Housing.C. History.D. Fashion.Passage ThreeThe environment affects the way people interact. To examine this conclusion, two researchers "decorated" three rooms: One room was refurnished to look ugly. The second room was intended to look average. The third room was designed to be beautiful. Individuals were then asked to sit in one of the three rooms and rate several pictures of people's faces. The results indicated that the environment has a significant effect on the way people rated the faces. Subjects in the beautiful room gave the pictures higher rates than did subjects in the ugly room. In addition, subjects in the ugly room found the task more unpleasant and boring than did subjects in the beautiful room. Subjects assigned to the ugly room attempted to leave sooner than did subjects assigned to the beautiful room.Color is one environmental factor that can affect your mood and even your ability to concentrate. One researcher concluded that the most pleasant colors, listed in order of preference, were blue, green, purple, red and yellow. The colors listed from most to least arousing were red, orange, yellow, violet, blue, and green.Lighting also affects behavior. Elegant restaurants with dim lighting create a mood of intimacy（亲密）that encourages conversation. The bright lights of an office or classroom, on the other hand, arouse and stimulate thinking.Room decoration, color, lighting, and even music and temperature all influence communication with others; but there is no all-purpose environment. The ideal environment depends on the task that will be performed as well as on the needs and expectations of those present. The same environmental factors that encourage lively conversation and dancing at a New Year's Eve party cannot be expected to create a serene climate in which to study for final exams.44. Paragraph 1 shows that subjects in the ugly room tend to be______.A. less patientB. less considerateC. more enthusiasticD. more confident45. Which color is the most helpful for keeping a good mood?A. Green.B. Blue.C. Orange.D. Red.46. What effect can dim lights of an eating environment bring about?A. Arousing active thinking.B. Improving work efficiency.C. Creating a tense atmosphereD. Stimulating talks among people.47. The underlined word "serene" in the last sentence is closest in meaning to______.A. serious and graveB. calm and peacefulC. pleasant and friendlyD. cold and indifferentPassage FourThere is nothing more possible than a new hip or knee that can put the spring back in your step. Patients receiving joint implants(移植)often are able to resume many of the physical activities they love, even those as vigorous as tennis and hiking. No wonder, then, that joint replacement is growing in popularity.In the United States in 2007, surgeons performed about 806, 000 hip and knee implants (the joints most commonly replaced), double the number performed a decade earlier. Though these procedures have become routine, they are not failure free.Implants must sometimes be replaced, said Dr. Henrik Malchau , an orthopaedic surgeon (矫形外科医生) at Massachusetts General Hospital in Boston. A study published in 2007 found that 7 percent of hips implanted in Medicare patients had to be replaced within seven and a half years.The percentage may sound low, but the finding suggests that thousands of hip patients eventually require a second operation, said Dr. Malchau. Those patients must endure additional recoveries, often painful, and increased medical expenses.The failure rate should be lower, many experts-agree. Sweden, for instance, has a failure rate estimated to be a third of that in the United States. Sweden also has a national joint replacement registry, a database of information from which surgeons can learn how and why certain procedures go wrong. A registry also helps surgeons learn quickly whether a specific type of implant is particularly problematic. "Every country that has developed a registry has been able to reduce failure ratesSignificantly," said Dr. Daniel Berry, chief of orthopaedic surgery at the Mayo Clinic in Rochester, Minn.A newly formed American Joint Replacement Registry will begin gathering data from hospitals in the next 12 to 18 months. It's good news for those who are considering replacing a knee or hip.48. What is the problem with hip or knee replacements in the U. S. ?A. A lot of patients need a second operation.B. Doctors are not well trained to ensure successful operations.C. Demands for hip replacement exceed the number of surgeons.D. Replacement operation is becoming too expensive in U. S. hospitals.49. Why does Sweden have a lower rate of hip implant failure?A. Sweden has more advanced technology.B. Sweden has a patient data collecting system.C. Sweden has a much larger number of patients.D. Swedish doctors are more responsible and skilful.50. The U. S. is trying to reduce joint replacement failure rate by_____..A. strictly controlling the number of replacement operationsB. asking hospitals to follow up each case for 12 -18 monthsC. setting up a national joins replacement databaseD. sending doctors to be trained in Sweden51. People who need a new knee or hip would possibly feel_____. about data gathering in the U. S.A. indifferentB. assuredC. puzzledD. hopefulPassage FiveThe Saturday Evening Post "became symbolic of the reading fare of middle-class America". In 1897 Curtis began to revive (重振) the Post on the proposition that a man's chief interest in life is the fight for .livelihood-business. Fiction and articles about romantic business and successful businessmen filled its pages, and products backed by .its advertisements directed at the needs and desires of the business world. The general interest weekly reached new audiences. Its conservative viewpoint and strong admiration for material success appealed to the tastes of the millions who settled in an easy chair with it each Thursday evening. As a more commercial, mass-circulation magazine than The New Yorker, the widely readable Post set out to interpret America to itself.As a national and international institution, The Saturday Evening Post made its mark in the lives of massive numbers of men and women, and served society as a stabilizing influence. Its editorial matter addressed the problems and interests of the readers as never before. Neither highbrow nor lowbrow, the Post set out to interpret average middle-class America, for that was its audience. However, this magazine lost touch with the mood of the American people in the 1930s. The Post's editor Lorimer, opposed Roosevelt and the New Deal and changed his magazine from an organ of entertainment and enlightenment into a weapon of political warfare. He believed that in opposing the New Deal he had spoken for the majority of voters, but the 1936 election proved him wrong. His conservatism extended beyond politics, it dominated the m agazine’s content and style causing a decline in reputation and authority. The Post met its greatest success when it went beyond the tastes of the masses, challenging its readers to acknowledge the genius of contributors such as F. Scott Fitzgerald and William Faulkner. It was later reformed in an effort to fulfill its responsibility to awaken lethargic（昏昏欲睡的）America, however, The Saturday Evening Post seemed to play toconventions while The New Yorker took off to redefine the character of American Humor.52. According to Paragraph 1, who are primarily the readers of the Post?A. Businessmen.B. College students.C. Housewives.D. Politicians.53. What is the earliest time that readers can read the Post every week？A. Monday.B. Thursday.C. Saturday.D. Sunday.54. Why did the Post lose much of its audience in the 1930's?A. It changed its original style and was heavily involved in politics.B. Readers couldn't afford a newspaper because of the Depression.C. The new editor was not interested in Roosevelt's politics.D. It failed to absorb sufficient advertisements.55. What makes the Post so commercially successful?A. Presenting American style humor.B. Sticking to the tastes of the middle class.C. Carrying articles and novels by local writers.D. Staying in close contact with the business world.V.

Reading Comprehension (60 points)Directions:There are four reading passages in this part Each passage is followed by five questions. For each question there are four suggested answers marked A, B, C and D. Choose one best answer and blacken the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet.Passage OneResearchers have found that REM (rapid eye movement) sleep is important to human beings. This type of sleep generally occurs four or five times during one night of sleep lasting five minutes toforty minutes for each occurrence. The deeper a person’s sleep becomes, the longer the periods of rapid eye movement.There are physical charges in the body to show that a person has changed from NREM (non-rapid eye movement) to REM sleep. Breathing becomes faster, the heart rate increases, and, as the name implies, the eyes begin to move quickly.Accompanying these physical changes in the body is a very important characteristic of REM sleep. It is during REM sleep that a person dreams.61. According to the passage, how often does REM sleep occur in one night?A. OnceB. TwiceC. Four of five timesD. Forty times62. The word “deeper” in paragraph 1 is closest in meaning to which of the following?A. heavier.B. louder.C. stronger.D. happier.63. Which of the following shows that a person is NOT dreaming in his sleep?A. His eyes begin to move.B. His breathing becomes faster.C. His heart rate increases.D. His eyes stop moving.64. The subject of this passage is ________.A. why people sleepB. the human need for REM sleepC. the characteristic of REM sleepD. physical changes in the human body65. Which of the following is the best title of the article?A. REM SleepB. Two Types of SleepC. SleepersD. What Happensto SleepersPassage TwoThe Mother Goose Stories, so well known to children all over the word, are commonly said to have been written by a little old womanfor her grandchildren. According to some people, she lived in Boston, and hePassage ThreeBanks are not ordinarily prepared to pay out all accounts; they rely on depositors (储户) not to demand payment all at the same time. If depositors should come to fear that a bank is not safe, that it cannot pay off all its depositors, then that fear might cause allthe depositors to appear on the same day. If they did, the bankcould not pay all accounts. However, if they did not all appear at once, then there would always be enough money to pay those whowanted their money when they wanted it. Mrs. Elsie Vaught has toldus of a terrifying bank run that she experienced. One day in December of 1925 several banks failed to open in a city where Mrs. Vaught lived. The other banks expected a run the next day, and sothe officers of the bank in which Mrs Vaught worked as a teller had enough money on hand to pay off their depositors. The officerssimply told the tellers to pay on demand. The next morning a crowd gathered in the bank and on the sidewalk outside. The length of the line made many think that the bank could not possibly pay off everyone. People began to push and then to fight for places near the tellers’ windows, The power of the panic atmosphere was such thattwo tellers, though they knew that the bank was quite all right and could pay all depositors, drew their own money from the bank. Mrs Vaught says that she had difficulty keeping herself from doing the same.71. A bank run happens when _______.a bank is closed for one or more daystoo many depositors try to draw out their money at one timethere is not enough money to pay all its depositors at one timetellers of a bank take their own money from the bank72. The tellers in Mrs. Vaught’s bank were told to ________.explain why they could not pay out all accountspay out accounts as requestedmake the depositors believe that the bank was standpay out money as slowly as possible73. The main cause of a bank run is _______.A. loss of confidenceB. lack of moneyC. crowds of peopleD. inexperienced tellers74. Which of the following did Mrs. Vaught say?She know that the bank was not sound.She feared that too many depositors drawing their money would close the bank.She was not able to draw out her money.She was tempted to draw out her money.75. According to the passage, the actions of the depositors of Mrs. Vaught’s bank were affect ed mainly by the _______.ease with which they could get their moneyconfidence that Mrs. Vaught showedfailure of several other banks to openconfidence shown by other depositors of the bankPassage FourOne of the greatest problems for those settlers in Nebraska in the last quarter of the previous century was fuel. Little of thestate was forested when the first settlers arrived and it is probable that by 1880, only about one-third of the originally forested area remained, down to a mere 1 per cent of the state’s 77,000 square miles. With wood and coal out of the question, and with fuel needed year-round for cooking, and during the harsh winter months for heating, some solution had to be found.Somewhat improbably, the buffalo provided the answer. Buffalo chips (干粪块) were found to burn evenly, hotly, and cleanly, with little smoke and interestingly, no odor, Soon, collecting them became a way of life for the settlers’ children who would pick them up on their way to and from school, or take part in competitions designed to counteract their natural reluctance. Even a young man, seeking to impress the girl he wanted to marry, would arrive with a large bag of chips rather than with a box of candy or a bunch of flowers.76. What is the main topic of this passage?The solution to the Nebraska settlers’ fuel problem.Life in Nebraska in th参考答案Ⅰ. Phonetics1.A2.B3.A4.D5.B6.A7.C8.D 9.D 10.AⅡ.

Reading Comprehension (60 points)Directions:There are four reading passages in this part. Each passage is followed by five questions. For each question there are four suggested answers marked A, B, C and D. Choose one best answer and blacken the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet.Passage OneAll the housewives who went to the new supermarket had one great ambition: to be the lucky customer who did not have to pay for her shopping. For this was what the notice just inside the entrance promised. It said: “Remember, once a week, one of our cust omers gets free goods. This May Be Your Lucky Day!”For several weeks Mrs. Edwards hoped, like many of her friends, to be the lucky customer. Unlike her friends, she never gave up hoping. The cupboards in kitchen were full of things which she did not need. Her husband tried to advise her against buying things but failed. She dreamed of the day when the manager of the supermarket would approach her and say: “Madam, this is Your Lucky Day. Everything in your basket is free.”One Friday morning, after she had finished her shopping and had taken it to her car, she found that she had forgotten to buy any tea. She dashed back to the supermarket, got the tea and went towards the cash-desk. As she did so, she saw the manager of the supermarket approach her. “Madam,” he said, holding out his hand, “I want to congratulate you! You are our lucky customer and everything you have in your basket is free!”61. The housewives learnt about the of free goods _______.A. on TVB. from the managerC. at the supermarketD. from the newspaper62. Mrs. Edwards ________.A. is always very luckyB. had no friendsC. hoped to get free shoppingD. gets disappointed easily63.

Mrs. Edwards went back to the supermarket quickly because she had to _______.A. buy another thingB. talk to the managerC. pay for her shoppingD. find her shopping65. Mrs. Edwards must have been ________.A. pleasedB. delightedC. proudD. disappointedPassage TwoDeep inside a mountain near Sweetwater in East. Tennessee is a body of water known as the Lost Sea. It is listed by the Guinness Book of Would Records as the world’s largest underground lake. The Lost Sea is part of an extensive and historic cavesystem called Craighead Caverns.The caverns have been known and used since the days of the Cherokee Indian nation. The cave expands into a series of huge rooms from a small opening on the side of the mountain. Approximately one mile from the entrance, in a room called “The Council Room,” many Indian artisfacts have been found. Some of the items discovered include pottery, arrowheads, weapons, and jewelry.For many years there were persistent rumors of a large underground lake somewhere in a cave, but it was not discovered until 1905. In that year, a thirteen-year-old boy named Ben Sands crawled through a small opening three hundred feet underground. He found himself in a large cave half filled with water.Today tourists visit the Lost Sea and ride far out onto it in glass-bottomed boats powered by electric motors. More than thirteen acres of water have been mapped out so far and still no end to the lake has been found. Even though teams of divers have tried to explore the Lost Sea, the full extent of it is still unknown.66. The Lost Sea is unique because it is ________.part of a historical cave systemthe biggest underground lake in the worldlisted in the Guinness Book of World Recordsthe largest body of water in Tennessee67. The Craighead Caverns have been known ________.A. through historyB. since the time of the Indian nationsC. since 1905D. since divers explored them68. Who located the Lost Sea in recent times?A. The Cherokee Indians.B. Tourists.C. Ben Sands.D. Scientists.69. What was found in “The Council Room”?A. A small natural opening.B. A large cave.C. Another series of rooms.D. Many old Indian objects.70. It can be inferred from the passage that the Craighead Caverns presently serve as ____.A. an underground testing siteB. an Indian meeting groundC. a tourist attractionD. a motor boat race coursePassage ThreeGenerations of Americans have been brought up to believe that a good breakfast is one life’s essentials. Eating breakfast at the start of the day, we have all been told, and told again, is as necessary as putting gasoline in the family car before starting a trip.But for many people the thought of food first thing in the morning is by no means a pleasure. So despite all the efforts, they still take no breakfast. Between 1977 and 1983, the latest year for which figures are available, the number of people who didn’t have breakfast, increased by 33 percent.For those who feel pain of guilt about not eating breakfast, however, there is some good news. Several studies in the last few years indicate that, for adults especially, there may be nothing wrong with omitting breakfast. “Going without breakfast does not affect performance,” said Arrold E. Bender, former professor of the nutrition at Queen Elizabeth College in London, “nor does giving people breakfast improve performance.”Scientific evidence linking breakfast to better health or better performance is surprisingly inadequate, and most of the recent work involves children, not adults, “The literature”, says one researcher, Dr. Erresto at the University of Texas, “is poor”.71. The latest year for which figures could be obtained is _______.A. the year the author wrote the articleB. 1977C. any year between 1997 and 1983D. 198372. For those who do not take breakfast, the good news is that _______.several studies have been done in the past few yearsthe omission of breakfast does no harm to one’s healthadults have especially made studies in this fieldeating little in the morning is good for health73. “…nor does giving people breakfast improve performance”means ______.anyone without breakfast does improve his performancenot giving people breakfast improve performancehaving breakfast does not improve performance, eitherpeople having breakfast do improve their performance74. The word “literature”in the last sentence refers to _______.A. stories, poems, plays, etc.B. written works on a particular subjectC. any printed materialD. the modern literature of America75. What is implied but NOT stated by the author is that _______.breakfast does not affect performanceDr. Erresto is engaged in research work at an institution of higher learningnot eating breakfast might affect the health of childrenProfessor Bender once taught college courses in nutrition in LondonPassage FourAbout 35% of all high school graduates in America continue their education in an institution of higher learning. The word college is used to refer to either a college or a university. These institutions offer four-year programs that lead to a Bachelor of Arts (B.A.) or Bachelor Science (B.S.) degree. Some students attend a junior college (providing only a two-year program) for one to two years before entering a four-year college as a sophomore (二年级生) or junior (三年级生).It is generally easier to be accepted at a state university than at a private one. Most private schools require strict entrance examinations and a high grade point average (GPA), as well as specific college prep classes in high school. Private schools cost considerably more than state colleges and famous private schools are very expensive. Poorer students can sometimes attend, however, by earning scholarships. Some college graduates go on to earn advanced masters or doctoral degrees in grad (graduate) school. Occupations in certain fields such as law or medicine require such advanced studies.Since college costs are very high, most students work at part-time jobs. Some have full-time jobs and go to school part-time. Often some will take five or more years to complete a four-year program because of money / job demands on their time.While the college and work demands take up the great part of a student’s time, most still enjoy social activities. Sports, dances, clubs, movies, and plays are all very popular. However, gathering together for long, philosophical talks at a favorite meeting place on or near the university is probably the most popular activity.76. College education is _______ in America.A. quite commonB. very rareC. something difficultD. almost impossible77. Which of the following is NOT required for entering most private schools.A. entrance examinationsB. taking part in many activitiesC. GPAD. college prep classes78. How can poor students attend private schools?A. Only by working at part-time jobs.B. Only by working at full-time jobs.C. Only by earning scholarships.D. All of above.79. The American college students like to _______ most of all.A. discuss problems on philosophyB. play ballsC. earn enough moneyD. go to the cinemas or theatres80. The best title for this passage is _______.A. Part-time jobsB. American collegeC. Popular activityD. A new systemⅤ.

What’s more, we need it to live a better life. In short, we should learn the value of money and make the most of its advantages.。

For each of them there are 4 choices marked A, B, C and D. Y ou should decide on the best choice, and mark the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet.Passage OneResearchers have found that REM(rapid eye movement)sleep is important to human beings. Thistype of sleep generally occurs four or five times during one night of sleep, lasting five minutes to forty minutes for each occurrence. The deeper a person's sleep becomes, the longer the periods of rapid eye movement.There are physical changes in the body to show that a person has changed from NREM(non-rapideye movement) to REM sleep. Breathing becomes faster, the heart rate increases, and, as the name implies, the eyes begin to move quickly.Accompanying these physical changes in the body is a very important characteristic of REM sleep.It is during REM sleep that a person dreams.61. According to the passage, how often does REM sleep occur in one night？A. OnceB. TwiceC. Four or five timesD. Forty times62. The word “deeper”in paragraph 1 is closest in meaning to which of the following？A. HeavierB. LouderC. StrongerD. Happier63. Which of the following shows that a person is NOT dreaming in his sleep？A. His eyes begin to move.B. His breathing becomes faster.C. His heart rate increases.D. His eyes stop moving.64. The subject of this passage is _____.A. why people sleepB. the human need for REM sleepC. the characteristics of REM sleepD. physical changes in the human body65. Which of the following is the best tile of the article?A. REM SleepB. Two Types of SleepC. SleepersD. What Happens to SleepersPassage TwoFoxes and farmers have never got on well. These small dog-like animals have long been accusedof killing farm animals. They are officially classified as harmful and farmers try to keep their numbers第 5 页，共 23 页2/29down by shooting or poisoning them.Farmers can also call on the services of their local hunt to control the fox population. Hunting consists of pursuing a fox across the countryside, with a group of specially trained dogs, followed by men and women riding horses. When the dogs eventually catch the fox they kill it or a hunter shoots it.People who take part in hunting think of as a sport; they wear a special uniform of red coats and white trousers, and follow strict codes of behavior. But owning a horse and hunting regularly is expensive, so most hunters are wealthy.It is estimated that up to 100,000 people watch or take part in fox hunting. But over the last couple of decades the number of people opposed to fox hunting, because they think it is brutal (残酷的), has risen sharply. Nowadays it is rare for a hunt to pass off without some kind of confrontation (冲突) between hunters and hunt saboteurs (阻拦者). Sometimes these incidents lead to violence, but mostly saboteurs interfere with the hunt by misleading riders and disturbing the trail of the fox’s smell, which the dogs follow.Noisy confrontations between hunters and saboteurs have become so common that they are almost as much a part of hunting as the pursuit of foxes itself. But this year supporters of fox hunting face a much bigger threat to their sport. A Labour Party Member of the Parliament, Mike Foster, is trying to get Parliament to approve a new law which will make the hunting of wild animals with dogs illegal. If the law is passed, wild animals like foxes will be protected under the ban in Britain.66. Rich people in Britain have been hunting foxes _____.A. for recreationB. to limit the fox populationC. in the interests of the farmersD. to show off their wealth67. What is special about fox hunting in Britain?A. It involves the use of a deadly poison.B. It is a costly event which rarely occurs.C. The hunters have set rules to follow.D. The hunters have to go through strict training.68.

A new law may be passed by the British Parliament to ______________.A. prohibit farmers from hunting foxesB. forbid hunting foxes with dogsC. stop hunting wild animals in the countrysideD. prevent large-scale fox hunting70. It can be inferred from the passage that ___________.A. killing foxes with poison is illegalB. limiting the fox population is unnecessary第 6 页，共 23 页2/29C. hunting foxes with dogs is considered cruel and violentD. fox-hunting often leads to confrontation between the poor and the richPassage ThreeIf you listen to American music, watch American television or magazines, you will probably agree that the most popular subject of these forms of entertainment is love. Romantic love always finds an audience in the United States. Falling in love, solving the problems of love, and achieving the happy ending—the big wedding are subjects of interest to the adult as well as the teenage public. Millions of Americans celebrates Valentine’s Day with special cards and gifts that announces their love to their mates. Their friends，their co-workers and their families.

To most Americans, romantic love is essential to a happy life.Not only do Americans believe in romantic love but they also believe that it is the best basis for marriage. Despite the high divorce rate in the United States, young men and women continue to marry on the basis of romantic love.Americans consider marriage to private arrangement between the two people involved young Americans feel free to choose their own marriage partners from any social ,economic, or religious backward. The man or woman may have strong ties with parents, brothers, or sisters, but when he or she falls in love, the strongest feelings are supposed to be for the loved one.

They carefully chose a busy corner for their location. They had run their own businesses for years，first a theater，then a barbecue（烤肉）restaurant.，then another drive-in. But in their new operation，they offered a new，shortened menu: French fries，hamburgers，and sodas. To this small selection they added one new concept: quick service，no waiters or waitresses，and no tips.Their hamburgers sold for fifteen cents. Cheese was another four cents. Their French fries and hamburgers had a remarkable uniformity(一致性)，for the brothers had developed a strict routine for the preparation of their food，and they insisted on their cooks’ sticking to their routine. Their new drive-in became incredibly popular，particularly for lunch. People drove up by the hundreds during the busy noontime. The self-service restaurant was so popular that the brothers had allowed ten copies of their restaurant to be opened. They were content with this modest success until they met Ray Kroc.Kroc was a salesman who met the McDonald brothers in 1954，when he was selling milkshake-mixing machines. He quickly saw the unique appeal of the brothers’ fast-food restaurants and bought the right to franchise（特许经营）other copies of their restaurants. The agreement struck included the right to duplicate the menu. The equipment，even their red and white buildings with the golden arches（拱门）.Today McDonald’s is really a household name. Its names for its sandwiches have come to mean hamburger in the decades since the day Ray Kroc watched people rush up to order fifteen-cent hamburgers. In 1976，McDonald’s had over $ 1 billion in total sales. Its first twenty-two years is one of the most incredible success stories in modern American business history.76.

Each passage is followed by some questions of unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A B C D .you should decide on the best choice and mark the corresponding letter on the Answer sheet with asingle line through the centre.Passage OneQuestions 21to 25 are based on the following passage.Who take cares of the elderly in the United States today? Many people wrongly believe that when people reach old age, their families place them in the hands of strangers for the rest of their lives, their grown children visit tem only occasionally, but more often, they do not have any regular visitors. The truth is that this idea is an unfortunate made-up story. In fact, family members provide over 80 percent of the care that the elderly people need.Because Americans are living longer than ever, more social workers have begun to study care-giving to improve care of the elderly. They have found that all caregivers share something in common: all caregivers believe that they are the best person for the job. One caregiver said that she had always been close to her mother. Another was the oldest child. In other words, they all felt that they could do the job better than anyone else. Social workers interviewed caregivers to find out why they took on the responsibility of caring for the elderly. They discovered three basic reasons. Many caregivers believe that they had an obligation to help their relatives. Some stated that helping others made them feel more useful. Others hoped that by helping someone now, they would deserve care when they become old and dependent.21. What’s the real situation of care-giving of most elderly people in the United Stages?A) They stay in the nursing homes without any family careB) They are forgotten and left in the hands of strangers.C) Their children go to visit them only occasionally.D) Their families give them the most care they need.22. All caregivers believe that .A) They have always been close to their mothersB) They like to take care of the elderly people at homeC) They are the most suitable people to look after the elderlyD) They share the same reasons for taking care of the elderly people23. What is the reason given by some care-givers for doing the care-giving job?A) They like to do some useful things in their spare time.B) They hope to get the same care when they become old.C) They need to earn some extra moneyD) They want to become a social worked.24. Frome the passage we know that Americans today .A) Enjoy al longer life than ever before.B) Do not worry about their old age lifeC) Are nostly living in the nursing homes?D) All stay with their families when they get old25. The second paragraph is mainly about .A) Why social workers want to study dare-giving skillsB) Why Americans now are able to live longer than everC) Why caregivers can do the job better than anyone elseD) Why caregivers do the job of taking care of the elderlyPassage TwoQuestions 26 to 30are based on the following passage.If you live in a city in North America or Europe, you have probably never thought much about water. Whenever you need some, you turn on the tap(水龙头) and the it is. Millions of people in other parts of the world are not so lucky. They have trouble getting enough clean water for their basic needs. This situation may soon become common all around the would. Scientist believes that the lack of clean water may be one for the biggestissues in the twenty-first century.The reasons for this are clear. Not the one hand, people are using more water than ever. Over the last fifty years, the population of the would has more than doubled. So has the demand for water. On the otherhand, supplies of clean water are disappearing. Many sources of surface water are too polluted and unhealthy for use as drinking water. This has forced more and more people to drill wells so they can get clear water from underground.If the world does not want to go thirsty in the near future, scientists say, further pollution must be prevented. Around the world, government must make real changes in industry, agriculture, and waste deposal.26. According to the first paragraph, millions of people in the word have trouble in getting_______________A) Enough facilities to supply drinking water.B) Enough food for the increasing population.C) Enough clean water for their basic needs.D) Enough living space in the world.27. What has happened in the actual situation of water in the last 50 years?____________A) Reasons of using too much water have been found.B) Sources of surface water have become less polluted.C) Enough clean water can be obtained from underground.D) The demand for water has more than doubled.28. It is implied from the passage that underground water is now______________A) Still healthy for useB) Also seriously pollutedC) The only source of clean waterD) The only way to save the world from going thirsty29. What should be done to prevent the world from going thirsty in the future according to the writer? ______________A) To develop more water industries.B) To cut down the world population.C) To stop the pollution of water.D) To make changes in the world economy.30. Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the passage? ________________A) European people are worrying about clean drinking water.B) Scientists think lack of clean water is a serious problem in the future.C) People prefer drinking underground water rather than surface water.D) Disposal of wastes has nothing to do with water pollution.Passage ThreeQuestions 31 to 35 are based on the following passage.Employees are a company’s new ideas, its public face and its main asset. Hiring the right people is therefore the most important factor in a company’s success. On the other hand, recruiting the wrong staff can lead to disaster. If the human resources (HR) department makes mistakes with hiring, keeping and dismissing staff, a business can disappear very quickly. Many companies now realize that recruiting the best recruiters (招聘人员) is the key to success.Why do people go into HR as their first choice? Choy has a ready an swer:” I think most people in the profession are attracted by a long-term goal. Since it’s one of the few areas where you can see the whole operation, it can lead to an influential (有影响的) role on the management. Nothing happensin the compan y which isn’t a ffected by or doesn’t influence its employees, so the HR department is a very important part of any business.”However, not all people agree. A survey of attitudes to HR departments received comments such as “What do they actually contribut e?” But ris ing levels of pay show that the profession’s growing importance is widely recognized. As Choy points out, salaries have never been higher and, in addition, HR managers often receive large annual bonuses.Despite the financial rewards, HR managers often feel they are not properly valued, and this is a major reason for many leaving their jobs. A lack of training and development is a more significant factor,” These days, good professional development opportunities are considered an essential part of an at tractive package.” Choy explains.31. We can learn from the first paragraph that the success ofa company lies in _____________A) Hiring creative employeesB) Building up its public imageC) Having right HR personnelD) Dismissing its bad staff32.

According to the passage, why do many HR managers leave their jobs?A) Because of the poor financial rewards for the job.B) Because of unhappy relationship with their employersC) Because they cannot decide the development of the HR department.D) Because they feel they have little professional training and development.35.

One advantage of teaching hospitals over non-teaching hospitals in treating heart attack patients is that________.A) They provide better medical treatment with low costsB) Patients get the latest information about their illnessC) They keep more patients aliveD) Doctors are more responsible37.

For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. You should decide on the best choice and mark the corresponding letter on Answer SheetPassage 1Researchers have found that REM (rapid eye movement) sleep is important to human beings. This type of sleep generally occurs four or five times during one night of sleep lasting five minutes to forty minutes for each occurrence. The deeper a person’s sleep becomes, the longer the periods of rapid eye movement.There are physical charges in the body to show that a person has changed from NREM (non-rapid eye movement) to REM sleep. Breathing becomes faster, the heart rate increases, and, as the name implies, the eyes begin to move quickly.Accompanying these physical changes in the body is a very important characteristic of REM sleep. It is during REM sleep that a person dreams.61. According to the passage, how often does REM sleep occur in one night?A. OnceB. TwiceC. Four of five timesD. Forty times62. The word “deeper” in paragraph 1 is closest in meaning to which of the following?A. heavier.B. louder.C. stronger.D. happier.63. Which of the following shows that a person is NOT dreaming in his sleep?A. His eyes begin to move.B. His breathing becomes faster.C. His heart rate increases.D. His eyes stop moving.64. The subject of this passage is ________.A. why people sleepB. the human need for REM sleepC. the characteristic of REM sleepD. physical changes in the human body65. Which of the following is the best title of the article?A. REM SleepB. Two Types of SleepC. SleepersD. What Happens to SleepersPassage 2Foxes and farmers have never got on well. These small dog-like animals have long beenaccused of killing farm animals. They are officially classified as harmful and farmers try to keep their numbers down by shooting or poisoning them.Farmers can also call on the services of their local hunt to control the fox population. Hunting consists of pursuing a fox across the countryside, with a group of specially trained dogs, followed by men and women riding horses. When the dogs eventually catch the fox they kill it or a hunter shoots it.People who take part in hunting think of it as a sport; they wear a special uniform of red coats and white trousers, and follow strict codes of behavior. But owning a horse and hunting regularly is expensive, so most hunters are wealthy.It is estimated that up to 100,000 people watch or take part in fox hunting. But over the last couple of decades the number of people opposed to fox hunting, because they think it is brutal (残酷的), has risen sharply. Nowadays it is rare for a hunt to pass off without some kind of confrontation (冲突) between hunters and hunt saboteurs (阻拦者). Sometimes these incidents lead to violence, but mostly saboteurs interfere with the hunt by misleading riders and disturbing the trail of the fox's smell, which the dogs follow.Noisy confrontations between hunters and saboteurs have become so common that they are almost as much a part of hunting as the pursuit of foxes itself. But this year supporters of fox hunting face a much bigger threat totheir sport. A Labour Party Member of the Parliament, Mike Foster, is trying to get Parliament to approve a new law which will make the hunting of wild animals with dogs illegal. If the law is passed, wild animals like foxes will be protected under the ban in Britain.66. Rich people in Britain have been hunting foxes______________.A) for recreation B) in the interests of the farmersC) to limit the fox population D) to show off their wealth67. What is special about fox hunting in Britain?A) It involves the use of a deadly poison. B) It is a costly event which rarely occurs.C) The hunters have set rules to follow. D) The hunters have to go through strict training.68. Fox hunting opponents often interfere in the game________.A) by resorting to violence B) by confusing the fox huntersC) by taking legal action D) by demonstrating on the scene69. A new law may be passed by the British Parliament to________.A) prohibit farmers from hunting foxes B) forbid hunting foxes with dogsC) stop hunting wild animals in the countryside D) prevent large-scale fox hunting70. It can be inferred from the passage that ________.A) killing foxes with poison is illegalB) limiting the fox population is unnecessaryC) hunting foxes with dogs is considered cruel and violentD) fox-hunting often leads to confrontation between the poor and the richPassage 3If you listen to American music, watch American television or magazines, you will probably agree that the most popular subject of these forms of entertainment is love. Romantic love always finds an audience in the United States. Falling in love, solving the problems of love, and achieving the happy ending—the big wedding are subjects of i nterest to both the adult and the teenage public. Millions of Americans celebrate Valentine’s Day with special cards and gifts that announce their love to their mates, their friends, and their families. Popular songs tell us that “all the world loves a lov er “A popular saying is “Love conquers all”. Numerous columns in magazines and newspapers offer advice to lovelorn, those with difficulties of heart. To most Americans, romantic love is central to a happy life.Not only do Americans believe in romantic love but they also believe that it is the best basis for making a happy marriage. Despite the high divorce rate in the United States, young men and women continue to marry on the basis of romantic love. Americans consider marriage a private arrangement between the two people involved. Young Americans feel free to choose their own marriage partners from any social, economic, or religious background. The man or woman may have strong ties with parents, brothers, or sisters, but when he or she falls in love, the strongest feelings are supposed to be for the loved one. When an American couple marries, they generally plan to live apart from both sets of parents and build their own independent family structure.71.

They carefully chose a busy corner for their location. They had run their own businesses for years, first a theater, then a barbecue（烤肉）restaurant, and then another drive-in. But in their new operation, they offered a new, shortened menu: French fries, hamburgers, and sodas. To this small selection they added one new concept: quick service, no waiters or waitresses, and no tips.Their hamburgers sold for fifteen cents. Cheese was another four cents. Their French fries and hamburgers had a remarkable uniformity, for the brothers had developed a strict routine for the preparation of their food, and they insisted on their cooks" sticking to their routine. Their new drive-in became incredibly popular, particularly for lunch. People drove up by the hundreds during the busy noontime. The self-service restaurant was so popular that the brothers had allowed ten copies of their restaurant to be opened. They were content with this modest success until they met Ray Kroc.Kroc was a salesman who met the McDonald brothers in 1954, when he was selling milk shake-mixing machines. He quickly saw the unique appeal of the brothers" fast-food restaurants and bought the right to franchise（特许经营）other copies of their restaurants. The agreement struck included the right to duplicate the menu. The equipment, even their red and white buildings with the golden arches（拱门）.Today M cDonald’s is really a household name. Its names for its sandwiches have come to mean hamburger in the decades since the day Ray Kroc watched people rush up to order fifteen-cent hamburgers. In 1976, McDonald’s had over $ 1 billion in total sales. Its first twenty-two years is one of the most incredible success stories in modern American business history.76.

For each of them there are four choices marked A B C D .you should decide on the best choice and mark the corresponding letter on the Answer sheet with a single line through the centre. Passage OneQuestions 21to 25 are based on the following passage.Who take cares of the elderly in the United States today? Many people wrongly believe that when people reach old age, their families place them in the hands of strangers for the rest of their lives, their grown children visit tem only occasionally, but more often, they do not have any regular visitors. The tnith is that this idea is an unfortunate made-up story. In fact, family members provide over 80 percent of the care that the elderly people need.Because Americans are living longer than ever, more social workers have begun to study care-giving to improve care of the elderly. They have found that all caregivers share something in common: all caregivers believe that they are the best person for the job. One caregiver said that she had always been close to her mother. Another was the oldest child. In other words, they all felt that they could do the job better than anyone else. Social workers interviewed caregivers to find out why they took on the responsibility of caring for the elderly. They discovered three basic reasons. Many caregivers believe that they had an obligation to help their relatives. Some stated that helping others made them feel more useful. Others hoped that by helping someone now, they would deserve care when they become old and dependent.21.What's die real situation of care-giving of most elderly people in the United Stages?A)They stay in the nursing homes without any family careB)They are forgotten and left in the hands of strangers.C)Their children go to visit them only occasionally.D)Their families give them the most care they need.22.All caregivers believe that .A)They have always been close to their mothersB)They like to take care of the elderly people at homeC)They are the most suitable people to look after the elderlyD)They share the same reasons for taking care of the elderly people23.What is the reason given by some care-givers for doing the care-giving job?A)They like to do some useful things in their spare time.B)They hope to get the same care when they become old.C)They need to earn some extra moneyD)They want to become a social worked24.Frome the passage we know that Americans today .A)Enjoy al longer life than ever before.B)Do not worry about their old age lifeC)Are nostly living in the nursing homes?D)All stay with their families when they get old25.The second paragraph is mainly about .A)Why social workers want to study dare-giving skillsB)Why Americans now are able to live longer than everC)Why caregivers can do the job better than anyone elseD)Why caregivers do the job of taking care of the elderly Passage TwoQuestions 26 to 30are based on the following passage.If you live in a city in North America or Europe, you have probably never thought much about water. Whenever you need some, you turn on the tap(水龙头)and the it is. Millions of people in other parts of the world are not so lucky. They have trouble getting enough clean water for their basic needs. Tliis situation may soon become common all around the would. Scientist believes that the lack of clean water may be one for the biggest issues in the twenty-first century.The reasons for this are clear. Not the one hand, people are using more water than ever. Over the last fifty years, the population of the would has more than doubled. So has the demand for water. On the other hand, supplies of clean water are disappearing. Many sources of surface water are too polluted and unhealthy for use as drinking water. Tliis has forced more and more people to drill wells so they can get clear water from underground.If the world does not want to go thirsty in the near future, scientists say, further pollution must be prevented. Around the world, government must make real changes in industry; agriculture, and waste deposal.26.According to the first paragraph, millions of people in the word have trouble in gettingA)Enough facilities to supply drinking water.B)Enough food for the increasing population.C)Enough clean water for their basic needs.D)Enough living space in the world.27.What has happened in the actual situation of water in the last 50 years?A)Reasons of using too much water have been found.B)Sources of surface water have become less polluted.C)Enough clean water can be obtained from underground.D)The demand for water has more than doubled.28.It is implied from the passage that underground water is nowA)Still healthy for useB)Also seriously pollutedC)The only source of clean waterD)The only way to save the world from going thirsty29.What should be done to prevent the world from going thirsty in the future according to the writer?A)To develop more water industries.B)To cut down the world population.C)To stop the pollution of water.D)To make changes in the world econom30.Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the passage?A)European people are worrying about clean drinking water.B)Scientists think lack of clean water is a serious problem in the future.C)People prefer drinking underground water rather than surface water.D)Disposal of wastes has nothing to do with water pollution.Passage ThreeQuestions 31 to 35 are based on the following passage.Employees are a company's new ideas, its public face and its main asset. Hiring the right people istherefore the most important factor in a company's success. On the other hand, recmituig the wrong staff can lead to disaster. If the human resources (HR) department makes mistakes with hiring, keeping and dismissing staff, a business can disappear very quickly. Many companies now realize that recniiting the best recruiters (招聘人员)is the key to success.Why do people go into HR as their first choice? Choy has a ready answer：” I think most people in the profession are attracted by a long-term goal. Since it's one of the few areas where you can see the whole operation, it can lead to an influential (有影响的)role on the management. Nothing happens in the company which isn't affected by or doesn't influence its employees, so the HR department is a very in里ortant part of any business.”However, not all people agree. A survey of attitudes to HR departments received comments such as "What do they actually contribute?” But rising levels of pay show that die profession\ growing importance is widely recognized. As Choy points out, salaries have never been higher and. in addition, HR managers often receive large annual bonuses.Despite the financial rewards, HR managers often feel they are not properly valued, and this is a major reason for many leaving their jobs. A lack of training and development is a more significant factor,“ These days, good professional development opportunities are considered an essential part of an attractive package." Choy explains.31.We can learn from the first paragraph that the success of a company lies inA)Hiring creative employeesB)Building up its public imageC)Having right HR personnelD)Dismissing its bad staff32.According to Choy, the reason why people go into HR is mainly thatA)They are able to determine the future of the companyB)They can decide the fate of their employees in the companyC)Their work can influence the operation of the companyD)Their work can lead to a long-term contract with their bosses33.Some people don't believe that HR managers should get high pay becauseA)They contribute little to the company's operationB)Tlieir annual bonuses are already higher than others'C)Their work has never been widely acknowledgedD)They exert no mfluence on the management\ decisions34.According to the passage, why do many HR managers leave their jobs?A)Because of the poor financial rewards for the job.B)Because of unhappy relationship with their employersC)Because they cannot decide the development of the HR department.D)Because they feel they have little professional training and development.35.The word “asset」in die first sentence of the passage most probably means.A)The good or useful quality a company possessesB)People who are valuable to the success of a companyC)Advertisements that is effective for recruiting new worksD)The things that a company owns, that can be sold to pay debtsPassage FourQuestions 36 to 40 are based on the following passage.If you or a loved one were having a heart attack and could choose between a teaching hospital and a traditional hospital, two new studies suggest the teaching hospital would be the better choice.Because they have more doctors, with more access to the latest information, teaching hospitals kept alive more people with heart attacks and other major illnesses, according to a study in the latest New England Journal of Medicine.The advantage for heart attack victims was simple-quicker application of the standard treatments at both teaching and non-teaching hospitals.fc Tliere are many more people in teaching hospitals than there are in non-teaching hospitals,“ Cassirer says.There is a lot of consultation (专家会诊)that goes on/'However the studies ranked non-teaching hospitals better at supporting patients emotionally."Teaching hospitals are big places/' Cassirer says. "So its much more difficult to do that.'Also, care costs more at teaching hospitals—about 5 percent more on average.Supporters of the major teaching hospitals say they have cut some costs, but that cutting too much would damage their most important responsibility, which is the training of good doctors.“It's hard to measure in dollars and cents, but I think it's recognizable in the standard of care available in the United States, something the rest of the world admires", says Dr.Jordan of die Association of American Teaching Hospitals.36.One advantage of teaching hospitals over non-teaching hospitals in treating heart attack patients is that.A)They provide better medical treatment with low costsB)Patients get the latest information about their illnessC)They keep more patients aliveD)Doctors are more responsible37.The word 八that“ in die sentence 'So it's much more difficult to do that/' refers toA)The consultation that goes onB)The number of people in teaching hospitalsC)The emotional support for patientsD)The cost of care at teaching hospitals38.One tiling that seems to cause people's concern about teaching hospitals is.A)The standard of care C) the number of doctorsB)The cost of care D) the space39.According to the passage, one important task of teaching hospitals is.A) To train good doctors C) to provide the best care possibleB)To reduce care costs D) to give patients emotional suppor40.Dr. Jordan Cohen implies that in America.A)Measures should be taken to reduce care costsB)The standard of care can be further improvedC)People have already recognized the issue of high care costsD)The standard of care is higPart III vocabulary and Structure (20 minutes)Directions: There are 40 minutes sentences in this part.

Reading Comprehension (60 points)Directions:There are four reading passages in this part. Each passage is followed by five questions. For each question there are four suggested answers marked A, B, C and D. Choose one best answer and blacken the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet.Passage OneAll the housewives who went to the new supermarket had one great ambition: to be the lucky customer who did not have to pay for her shopping. For this was what the notice just inside the entrance promised. It said: “Remember, once a week, one of our customers gets free goods. This May Be Your Lucky Day!”For several weeks Mrs. Edwards hoped, like many of her friends, to be the lucky customer. Unlike her friends, she never gave up hoping. The cupboards in kitchen were full of things which she did not need. Her husband tried to advise her against buying things but failed. She dreamed of the day when the manager of the supermarket would approach her and say: “Madam, this is Your Lucky Day. Everything in your basket is free.”One Friday morning, after she had finished her shopping and had taken it to her car, she found that she had forgotten to buy any tea. She dashed back to the supermarket, got the tea and went towards the cash-desk. As she did so, she saw the manager of the supermarket approach her. “Madam,” he said, holding out his hand, “I want to congratulate you! You are our lucky customer and everything you have in your basket is free!”61. The housewives learnt about the of free goods _______.A. on TVB. from the managerC. at the supermarketD. from the newspaper62. Mrs. Edwards ________.A. is always very luckyB. had no friendsC. hoped to get free shoppingD. gets disappointed easily63.

Mrs. Edwards went back to the supermarket quickly because she had to _______.A. buy another thingB. talk to the managerC. pay for her shoppingD. find her shopping65. Mrs. Edwards must have been ________.A. pleasedB. delightedC. proudD. disappointedPassage TwoDeep inside a mountain near Sweetwater in East. Tennessee is a body of water known as the Lost Sea. It is listed by the Guinness Book of Would Records as the world’s largest underground lake. The Lost Sea is part of an extensive and historic cave system called Craighead Caverns.The caverns have been known and used since the days of the Cherokee Indian nation. The cave expands into a series of huge rooms from a small opening on the side of the mountain. Approximately one mile from the entrance, in a room called “The Council Room,” many Indian artisfacts have been found. Some of the items discovered include pottery, arrowheads, weapons, and jewelry.For many years there were persistent rumors of a large underground lake somewhere ina cave, but it was not discovered until 1905. In that year, a thirteen-year-old boy named Ben Sands crawled through a small opening three hundred feet underground. He found himself in a large cave half filled with water.Today tourists visit the Lost Sea and ride far out onto it in glass-bottomed boats powered by electric motors. More than thirteen acres of water have been mapped out so far and still no end to the lake has been found. Even though teams of divers have tried to explore the Lost Sea, the full extent of it is still unknown.66. The Lost Sea is unique because it is ________.part of a historical cave systemthe biggest underground lake in the worldlisted in the Guinness Book of World Recordsthe largest body of water in Tennessee67. The Craighead Caverns have been known ________.A. through historyB. since the time of the Indian nationsC. since 1905D. since divers explored them68. Who located the Lost Sea in recent times?A. The Cherokee Indians.B. Tourists.C. Ben Sands.D. Scientists.69. What was found in “The Council Room”?A. A small natural opening.B. A large cave.C. Another series of rooms.D. Many old Indian objects.70. It can be inferred from the passage that the Craighead Caverns presently serve as ____.A. an underground testing siteB. an Indian meeting groundC. a tourist attractionD. a motor boat race coursePassage ThreeGenerations of Americans have been brought up to believe that a good breakfast is one life’s essentials. Eating breakfast at the start of the day, we have all been told, and told again, is as necessary as putting gasoline in the family car before starting a trip.But for many people the thought of food first thing in the morning is by no means a pleasure. So despite all the efforts, they still take no breakfast. Between 1977 and 1983, the latest year for which figures are available, the number of people who didn’t have breakfast, increased by 33 percent.For those who feel pain of guilt about not eating breakfast, however, there is some good news. Several studies in the last few years indicate that, for adults especially, there may be nothing wrong with omitting breakfast. “Going without breakfast does n ot affect performance,” said Arrold E. Bender, former professor of the nutrition at Queen Elizabeth College in London, “nor does giving people breakfast improve performance.”Scientific evidence linking breakfast to better health or better performance is surprisingly inadequate, and most of the recent work involves children, not adults, “The literature”, says one researcher, Dr. Erresto at the University of Texas, “is poor”.71. The latest year for which figures could be obtained is _______.A. the year the author wrote the articleB. 1977C. any year between 1997 and 1983D. 198372. For those who do not take breakfast, the good news is that _______.several studies have been done in the past few yearsthe omission of breakfast does no harm to one’s healthadults have especially made studies in this fieldeating little in the morning is good for health73. “…nor does giving people breakfast improve performance”means ______.anyone without breakfast does improve his performancenot giving people breakfast improve performancehaving breakfast does not improve performance, eitherpeople having breakfast do improve their performance74. The word “literature”in the last sentence refers to _______.A. stories, poems, plays, etc.B. written works on a particular subjectC. any printed materialD. the modern literature of America75. What is implied but NOT stated by the author is that _______.breakfast does not affect performanceDr. Erresto is engaged in research work at an institution of higher learningnot eating breakfast might affect the health of childrenProfessor Bender once taught college courses in nutrition in LondonPassage FourAbout 35% of all high school graduates in America continue their education in an institution of higher learning. The word college is used to refer to either a college or a university. These institutions offer four-year programs that lead to a Bachelor of Arts (B.A.) or Bachelor Science (B.S.) degree. Some students attend a junior college (providing only a two-year program) for one to two years before entering a four-year college as a sophomore (二年级生) or junior (三年级生).It is generally easier to be accepted at a state university than at a private one. Most private schools require strict entrance examinations and a high grade point average (GPA), as well as specific college prep classes in high school. Private schools cost considerably more than state colleges and famous private schools are very expensive. Poorer students can sometimes attend, however, by earning scholarships. Some college graduates go on to earn advanced masters or doctoral degrees in grad (graduate) school. Occupations in certain fields such as law or medicine require such advanced studies.Since college costs are very high, most students work at part-time jobs. Some have full-time jobs and go to school part-time. Often some will take five or more years to complete a four-year program because of money / job demands on their time.While the college and work demands take up the great part of a student’s time, most still enjoy social activities. Sports, dances, clubs, movies, and plays are all very popular. However, gathering together for long, philosophical talks at a favorite meeting place on or near the university is probably the most popular activity.76. College education is _______ in America.A. quite commonB. very rareC. something difficultD. almost impossible77. Which of the following is NOT required for entering most private schools.A. entrance examinationsB. taking part in many activitiesC. GPAD. college prep classes78. How can poor students attend private schools?A. Only by working at part-time jobs.B. Only by working at full-time jobs.C. Only by earning scholarships.D. All of above.79. The American college students like to _______ most of all.A. discuss problems on philosophyB. play ballsC. earn enough moneyD. go to the cinemas or theatres80. The best title for this passage is _______.A. Part-time jobsB. American collegeC. Popular activityD. A new systemⅤ.

And for another example, money can’t buy us good health and a long life. But we can not live without money. We need it for our daily necessities such as food, clothes and transportation. What’s more, we need it to live a better life. In short, we should learn the value of money and make the most of its advantages.2011成人高考高起点英语预测试卷及答案二Ⅰ.

Choose one best answer and blacken the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet.Passage OneIn ancient times wealth was measured and exchanged in things that could be touched: food, tools, and precious metals and stones. Then the barter system was replaced by coins, which still had real value since they were pieces of rare metal. Coins were followed by fiat money, paper notes that have value only because everyone agrees to accept them.Today electronic monetary systems are gradually being introduced that will transform money into even less tangible forms, reducing it to a series of “bits and bytes”, or units of computerized information, going between machines at the speed of light. Already, electronic fund transfer allows money to be instantly sent and received by different banks, companies, and countries through computers and telecommunications devices.61. Which of the following would be the most appropriate title for the passage?A. International Banking PoliciesB. The History of Monetary ExchangeC. The Development of Paper CurrenciesD. Current Problems in the Economy62. According to the passage, which of the following was the earliest kind of exchange of wealth?A. Bartered foodsB. Fiat moneyC. Coin currencyD. Intangible forms63. The author mentions food, tools and precious metals and stones together because they are all ________.A. useful itemsB. articles of valueC. difficult things to obtainD. material objects64. According to the passage, coins once had real value as currency because they ______.represented a great improvement over barterpermitted easy transportation of wealthwere made of precious metalscould become collector’s items65. Which of the following statements about computerized monetary systems is NOT supported by the passage?They promote international trade.They allow very rapid money transfers.They are still limited to small transactions (交易).They are dependent on good telecommunications systems.Passage TwoAt the University of Kansas art museum, scientists tested the effect of different colored walls on two groups of visitors to an exhibit of paintings.

2011年山东省成人本科英语真题试卷(题后含答案及解析)题型有： 2. Reading Comprehension 3. V ocabulary and Structure 5. Cloze 6. Translation 7. WritingPart 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.You must have been troubled by when to say “I love you” because it is one of the greatest puzzles in our life. What if you say it first and your partner doesn’t love you back? Or if they do say it, but you don’t feel they mean it? Being the first to declare your love can be very nervous and risk-y and can leave you feeling as vulnerable as a turtle with no shell. But is the person who says it first really in a position of weakness? Doesn’t it pay to hold back, play it cool and wait until the other half has shown their hand fast? “A really good relationship should be about being fair and being equal, “ says psychologist Sidney Crown. “But love is seldom equal. “All relationships go through power struggles but, he says, if a love imbalance continues for years, the trouble will set in. “That feeling of ‘I’ve always loved you more’may be subverted(破坏)for a time, but it never goes away completely and it often emerges in quarreling.”In love, at least, the silent, withholding type is not always the most powerful. “The strongest one in a relationship is often the person who feels confident enough to talk about their feelings,”says educational psychologist Ingrid Collins. Psychosexual therapist Paula Hall agrees, “The one with the upper hand is often the person who takes the initiative. In fact, the person who says ‘I love you’ first may also be the one who says ‘I’m bored with you’ first.” Hall believes that much depends on how “I love you”is said and the motivation of the person saying it. “Is it said when they’re drunk? Is it said before their partner sets off on holiday, and what it really means is ‘please don’t be unfaithful to me’? By saying ‘I love you’ , they are really saying ‘Do you love me?’ If so, wouldn’t it just be more honest to say that?” Collins agrees that intention is everything. “It’s not what is said, but how it’s said. What it comes down to is the sincerity of the speaker.”1．What is the main idea of this passage?A．The importance of “I love you”.B．The meaning of “I love you”.C．The time of saying “I love you”.D．The place of saying “I love you”.正确答案：C解析：本题为主旨大意题。

Reading Comprehension (60 points)Directions:There are four reading passages in this part. Each passage is followed by five questions. For each question there are four suggested answers marked A, B, C and D. Choose one best answer and blacken the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet.Passage OneAll the housewives who went to the new supermarket had one great ambition: to be the lucky customer who did not have to pay for her shopping. For this was what the notice just inside the entrance promised. It said: “Remember, once a week, one of our cust omers gets free goods. This May Be Your Lucky Day!”For several weeks Mrs. Edwards hoped, like many of her friends, to be the lucky customer. Unlike her friends, she never gave up hoping. The cupboards in kitchen were full of things which she did not need. Her husband tried to advise her against buying things but failed. She dreamed of the day when the manager of the supermarket would approach her and say: “Madam, this is Your Lucky Day. Everything in your basket is free.”One Friday morning, after she had finished her shopping and had taken it to her car, she found that she had forgotten to buy any tea. She dashed back to the supermarket, got the tea and went towards the cash-desk. As she did so, she saw the manager of the supermarket appro ach her. “Madam,” he said, holding out his hand, “I want to congratulate you! You are our lucky customer and everything you have in your basket is free!”61. The housewives learnt about the of free goods _______.A. on TVB. from the managerC. at the supermarketD. from the newspaper62. Mrs. Edwards ________.A. is always very luckyB. had no friendsC. hoped to get free shoppingD. gets disappointed easily63.

Mrs. Edwards went back to the supermarket quickly because she had to _______.A. buy another thingB. talk to the managerC. pay for her shoppingD. find her shopping65. Mrs. Edwards must have been ________.A. pleasedB. delightedC. proudD. disappointedPassage TwoDeep inside a mountain near Sweetwater in East. Tennessee is a body of water known as the Lost Sea. It is listed by the Guinness Book of Would Records as the world’s largest underground lake. The Lost Sea is part of an extensive and historic cave system called Craighead Caverns.The caverns have been known and used since the days of the Cherokee Indian nation. The cave expands into a series of huge rooms from a small opening on the side of the mountain. Approximately one mile from the entrance, in a room called “The Council Room,” many Indian artisfacts have been found. Some of the items discovered include pottery, arrowheads, weapons, and jewelry.For many years there were persistent rumors of a large underground lake somewhere in a cave, but it was not discovered until 1905. In that year, a thirteen-year-old boy named Ben Sands crawled through a small opening three hundred feet underground. He found himself in a large cave half filled with water.Today tourists visit the Lost Sea and ride far out onto it in glass-bottomed boats powered by electric motors. More than thirteen acres of water have been mapped out so far and still no end to the lake has been found. Even though teams of divers have tried to explore the Lost Sea, the full extent of it is still unknown.66. The Lost Sea is unique because it is ________.part of a historical cave systemthe biggest underground lake in the worldlisted in the Guinness Book of World Recordsthe largest body of water in Tennessee67. The Craighead Caverns have been known ________.A. through historyB. since the time of the Indian nationsC. since 1905D. since divers explored them68. Who located the Lost Sea in recent times?A. The Cherokee Indians.B. Tourists.C. Ben Sands.D. Scientists.69. What was found in “The Council Room”?A. A small natural opening.B. A large cave.C. Another series of rooms.D. Many old Indian objects.70. It can be inferred from the passage that the Craighead Caverns presently serve as ____.A. an underground testing siteB. an Indian meeting groundC. a tourist attractionD. a motor boat race coursePassage ThreeGenerations of Americans have been brought up to believe that a good breakfast is one life’s essentials. Eating breakfast at the start of the day, we have all been told, and told again, is as necessary as putting gasoline in the family car before starting a trip.But for many people the thought of food first thing in the morning is by no means a pleasure. So despite all the efforts, they still take no breakfast. Between 1977 and 1983, the latest year for which figures are available, the numberof people who didn’t have breakfast, increased by 33 percent.For those who feel pain of guilt about not eating breakfast, however, there is some good news. Several studies in the last few years indicate that, for adults especially, there may be nothing wrong with omitting breakfast. “Going without breakfast does not affect performance,” said Arrold E. Bender, former professor of the nutrition at Queen Elizabeth College in London, “nor does giving people breakfast improve performance.”Scientific evidence linking breakfast to better health or better performance is surprisingly inadequate, and most of the recent work involves children, not adults, “The literature”, says one researcher, Dr. Erresto at the University of Texas, “is poor”.71. The latest year for which figures could be obtained is _______.A. the year the author wrote the articleB. 1977C. any year between 1997 and 1983D. 198372. For those who do not take breakfast, the good news is that _______.several studies have been done in the past few yearsthe omission of breakfast does no harm to one’s healthadults have especially made studies in this fieldeating little in the morning is good for health73. “…nor does giving people breakfast improve performance”means ______.anyone without breakfast does improve his performancenot giving people breakfast improve performancehaving breakfast does not improve performance, eitherpeople having breakfast do improve their performance74. The word “literature”in the last sentence refers to _______.A. stories, poems, plays, etc.B. written works on a particular subjectC. any printed materialD. the modern literature of America75. What is implied but NOT stated by the author is that _______.breakfast does not affect performanceDr. Erresto is engaged in research work at an institution of higher learningnot eating breakfast might affect the health of childrenProfessor Bender once taught college courses in nutrition in LondonPassage FourAbout 35% of all high school graduates in America continue their education in an institution of higher learning. The word college is used to refer to either a college or a university. These institutions offer four-year programs that lead to a Bachelor of Arts (B.A.) or Bachelor Science (B.S.) degree. Some students attend a junior college (providing only a two-year program) for one to two years before entering a four-year college as a sophomore (二年级生) or junior (三年级生).It is generally easier to be accepted at a state university than at a private one. Most private schools require strict entrance examinations and a high grade point average (GPA), as well as specific college prep classes in high school. Private schools cost considerably more than state colleges and famous private schools are very expensive. Poorer students can sometimes attend, however, by earning scholarships. Some college graduates go on to earn advanced masters or doctoral degrees in grad (graduate) school. Occupations in certain fields such as law or medicine require such advanced studies.Since college costs are very high, most students work at part-time jobs. Some have full-time jobs and go to school part-time. Often some will take five or more years to complete a four-year program because of money / job demands on their time.While the college and work demands take up the great part of a student’s time, most still enjoy social activities. Sports, dances, clubs, movies, and plays are all very popular. However, gathering together for long, philosophical talks at a favorite meeting place on or near the university is probably the most popular activity.76. College education is _______ in America.A. quite commonB. very rareC. something difficultD. almost impossible77. Which of the following is NOT required for entering most private schools.A. entrance examinationsB. taking part in many activitiesC. GPAD. college prep classes78. How can poor students attend private schools?A. Only by working at part-time jobs.B. Only by working at full-time jobs.C. Only by earning scholarships.D. All of above.79. The American college students like to _______ most of all.A. discuss problems on philosophyB. play ballsC. earn enough moneyD. go to the cinemas or theatres80. The best title for this passage is _______.A. Part-time jobsB. American collegeC. Popular activityD. A new systemⅤ.

What’s more, we need it to live a better life. In short, we should learn the value of money and make the most of its advantages.。
