Cloze (30 points, 1.5 for each)Directions: In this part, there are 10 blanks in each of the following two passages. For each blank there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. You should decide on the ONE that best fits into the passage. Then mark the corresponding letter on the ANSWER SHEET.(A)In one way, it may be thought that failure is a part of life. In another, failure may 31 as a step toward success.The “spider-story” is often told as an example of this. Robert Bruce, leader of the Scots in32 13th century, was hiding in a cave from his enemies. He watched a spider 33 a web. Bruce is said to have gained 34 from this sight and to have gone on to defeat the enemies.Edison, too, the inventor of the light bulb, had failed hundreds of times35he succeeded.So what? First, always think about your failure. What caused it? Were the conditions right? 36can you change so that things will go right the next time?Second, is the37you’re trying to reach the right one? Think about this question:“38I do succeed in this, where will it get me?” This may help39failure.The third thing ‘to bear in mind about failure is that it’s a part of life. Learn to “ live with yourself” even though you40. Remember, “You can’t win them all.”31. A. view B. to view C. be viewed D. have viewed32. A. a B. an C. the D. this33.

A. ought to fail B. must fail C. should have failed(B)“Love” is a word so often used and misused. We can always say “I love you” to anyone and everyone without really 41 the true meaning of love. When we are young, love is associated42 that special person — the one who makes our heart 43 so fast whenever he is around. As we become adults, love is our family. The true meaning of love is found in the word “unconditional”. You love a person despite the flaws and44. To love someone unconditionally is 45 the person exactly as he is, what he was before and what he will become. Since people change as time passes, loving them means you accept them 46 they become those you disagree with. How many parents can truly say this about their kids? How many people can truly say they love their partners unconditionally despite the pain they 47 ? Love isn’t about what you can get 48 it or what the other person can give you. It is not about you feeling “proud” of what they have achieved or how they are always agreeable to 49 you say or do. Unconditional love means people 50 live their lives in the way they choose and you will always be there for them no matter what happens.41.A. understand B. understood C. understanding D. to understand42.A. with B. of C. to D. in43.A. run B. race C. beat D. hit44.A. differ B. different C. difference D. differences45.A. love B. loved C. loves D. loving46.A. if B. as if C. even if D. no matter what47.A. cause B. have caused C. will cause D. would cause48.A. out B. out of C. besides D. except for49.A. nothing B. everything C. something D. some things50.A. can B. shall C. might D. shouldIII. Reading Comprehension (45 points) Section A (30 points, 2 for each)Directions: There are three passages in this section. Each passage is followed by some questions or incomplete statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. You should decide on the best ONE and mark the corresponding letter on the ANSWER SHEET.Questions 51 — 55 are based on the following passage.A sunflower is a sunflower. A mobile phone is a mobile phone. But can you combine the two to do something for your local environment?It may well be possible. When you have finished with your mobile phone you can bury it in the garden or a plant pot and wait for it to flower.Recently, a biodegradable (生物可降解的) mobile phone was introduced by scientists. It is hoped that the new type of phone will raise consumers’ recycling awareness (意识).Scientists have developed a new material in the past five years. It looks like any other plastic and can be hard or soft，and is able to change shape. It can also break down into the soil without giving off any poisonous chemicals. British researchers have used the new material to develop a phone cover that contains a sunflower seed. When this new type of cover turns into waste，it forms something that feeds the seed and helps the flower grow.Engineers have designed a small transparent (透明的) window to hold the seed. They have made sure it only grows when the phone is thrown away.“We’ve only put sunflower seeds into the covers so far. But we are working with plant experts to find out which flowers would perform best. Maybe we could put roses in next time.” said one scientist.51.What is the main advantage of the new type of phone?A.Recyclable.B. Fast-growing.C. Mobile.D. Transparent.52.Which of the following is NOT true about the new material?A.It can be hard or soft.B. It looks like any other plastic.C. It can break down into the soil.D. It gives off poisonous chemicals.53.There is a ______ in the mobile phone to keep the seed.A.potB. windowC. roseD. sunflower54.Which kind of flowers would perform best in the mobile phone? A. Roses.B.Sunflowers.C.Both roses and sunflowers.D.It is still unknown to scientists and plant experts.55.What is the author’s attitude towards the new type of mobile phone?A.Positive.B. Negative.C. Neutral.D. Critical.Questions 56 — 60 are based on the following passage.There are several ways to find out about the places you wish to visit. You can talk to friends who have traveled to the places, or you can read travel books.It seems that there are three kinds of travel books. The first kind is the books that give a personal, subjective account of travels which the author has actually made himself. If they are informative and have a good index，then they can be useful when you are planning your travels. The second is the books which give a purely objective description of things to be done and seen. They can be classified as selective guide books. If a well-read, cultured person has written such a book, then the book is even more useful. The third is the books which are called “a guide” to some place. They can help readers in the most practical way. If they are good, they will, in addition to their factual information, give an analysis or an interpretation. Like the first kind, they can be inspiring and entertaining.Whichever kind of travel book you choose, you must make sure that it does not describe everything as “marvelous”, “fabulous” or “magical’. You must also note its date of publication because travel is a very practical affair and many things change quickly in the 21st century. Finally, you should make sure that the contents are well presented and easy to check.56.The best title of the passage is ______.A.Writing Travel BooksB. Marvelous Travel BooksC. Three Kinds of Travel BooksD. Asking Your Friends for Travel Books57.The travel books describing the authors’ own traveling experiences are often ______.A.objectiveB. subjectiveC. magicalD. entertaining58.The travel books which give an objective description belong to ______ guide books.A.inspiringB. personalC. selectiveD. fabulous59.A good “guide” to a city gives not only ______ but also an analysis or an interpretation.A.factual informationB. useful waysC. a personal accountD. a good index60.One must pay attention to the date of publication of a travel book because ______.A.things change quickly nowadaysB.reading travel books is a practical affairC.his friends would have traveled to these placesD.travel books are written by well-read，cultured writers Questions 61 —65 are basedon the following passage.Sometimes people call each other “scared-cat”, but have you ever thought about this expression? When a cat is frightened, its heart starts beating faster, its muscles get tense, and there are changes in the chemicals in its bloodstream.Although the cat doesn’t realize this, its body is getting ready for action. If the danger continues, the cat will do one of the two things: it will defend itself, or it will run away as fast as it can.Similarly, when we are nervous, angry or scared, our bodies also go through many physical changes. Our hearts beat faster, and our muscles get tense. All of these changes make us more alert and ready to react. We，too，get ready to defend ourselves or ran away.Human beings, however, have a problem that animals never face. If we give way to our feelings, we may get into trouble. Have you ever said something in anger or hit somebody and regretted it later? Have you ever told someone you were lonely, or said you were in love, and then wished you had kept your mouth shut? It isn’t always wise to express your feelings freely.Does this mean that it’s smarter always to hide our feelings? No! If you keep feelings of anger, sadness and bitterness inside, your body will stay tense. Physical illness can develop. It can actually be harmful to your health.Feelings that you keep bottled up inside don’t just go away. Imagine that you bought some bananas and put them in a cupboard. You might not be able to see them, but before long you’d smell them. And if you opened the cupboard, you’d find fruit flies (果蝇) circling over them. They’d be rotten (腐烂的).You can try to treat emotions as if they were bananas in the cupboard. You can pretend they don’t exist, but they’ll still be around. And at last you’ll have to deal with them, just like those bananas.61.The word “scared” in “scared-cat” (Para. 1) could be replaced by “______”.A.alertB. tenseC. excitedD. frightened62.When we are nervous, angry or scared, our bodies go through ______ physical changes as catsdo.A.fasterB. slowerC. similarD. different63.We may get into trouble if we always ______.A.deal with emotionsB. express our feelings freelyC. put bananas in the cupboardD.defend ourselves and run away64.It is bad for your physical fitness if ______.A.you are ready to reactB. you keep your mouth shutC. you tell others you are lonelyD. you keep all your passive feelings inside65.The author gives the example of rotten bananas in order to show that hidden negative feelings______.A. can go awayB. can’t go awayC. can be dealt withD. can’t be dealt with第二部分非选择题Section B (15 points, 3 for each)Directions: Answer each of the following questions on the ANSWER SHEET in no more than FIVE words.To: All StaffFrom: Jackie Mok, Secretary; Sports Development CommitteeDate: Mar. 10, 2017A week ago, “Sports for Life” program was sent to the parents, requiring them to select a sport they want their children to play.

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 wha t the notice just inside the entrance promised. It said: “Remember, onc e 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 lu cky 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 advis e her against buying things but failed. She dreamed of the day when the mana ge r of the supermarket would approach her and say: “Madam, this is Your Lu cky Day. Everything in your basket is free.”One Friday morning, after she had finished her shopping and had taken it to h er car, she found that she had forgotten to buy any tea. She dashed back to t he supermarket, got the tea and went towards the cash-desk. As she did so, sh e saw the manager of the supermarket approach her. “Madam,” he said, holdin g out his hand, “I want to con gratulate you! You are our lucky customer and everything you have in your basket is free!”61.The housewives learnt about the of free goods C .A.on TVB. from the managerC. at the supermarketD. from the newspaper62.Mrs. Edwards C .A.is always very luckyB. had no friendsC. hoped to get free shoppingD. gets disappointed easily63.Mrs. Edwards’s husband tried to D .A.make her unhappyB. cheer her upC. buy things with herD. stop her buying things64.Mrs. Edwards went back to the supermarket quickly because she had toA .A.buy another thingB. talk to the managerC. pay for her shoppingD. find her shopping65.Mrs. Edwards must have been D .A.pleasedB. delightedC. proudD. disappointedPassage TwoDeep inside a mountain near Sweetwater in East. Tennessee is a body of wate r known as the Lost Sea. It is listed by the Guinness Book of Would Records as the world’s largest underground lake. The Lost Se a 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 o n the side of the mountain. Approximately one mile from the entrance, in a ro om 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 some where 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 bo ats 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.

Many old Indian objects.70.It can be inferred from the passage that the Craighead Caverns presentlyserve as C .A.an underground testing siteB. an Indian meeting groundC. a tourist attractionD. a motor boat race course Passage ThreeGenerations of Americans have been brought up to believe that a good breakfa st 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. Betwe en 1977 and 1983, the latest year for which figures are available, the number of people who didn’t have breakfast, increased by 33percent.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 d oes not affect performance,” said Arrold E. Bender, former professor of the nutrition at Queen Elizabeth College in London, “nor does giving peopl e breakfast improve performance.”Scientific evidence linking breakfast to better health or better performance is su rprisingly inadequate, and most of the recent work involves children, not adults, “The literature”, says one researcher, Dr. Erresto at the University of Texas, “i s poor”.71.The latest year for which figures could be obtained is D .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 B .A.several studies have been done in the past few yearsB.the omission of breakfast does no harm to one’s healthC.adults have especially made studies in this fieldD.eating little in the morning is good for health73.“…nor does giving people breakfast improve performance”means C .A.anyone without breakfast does improve his performanceB.not giving people breakfast improve performanceC.having breakfast does not improve performance, eitherD.people having breakfast do improve their performance74.The word “literature” in the last sen tence refers to B .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 C .A.breakfast does not affect performanceB.Dr. Erresto is engaged in research work at an institution of higherlearningC.not eating breakfast might affect the health of childrenD.Professor Bender once taught college courses in nutrition in London Passage 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 att end a junior college (providing only a two-year program) for one to two yearsbefore 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 poin t average (GPA), as well as specific college prep classes in high school. Privat e schools cost considerably more than state colleges and famous private schools are very expensive. Poorer students can sometimes attend, however, by earni ng scholarships. Some college graduates go on to earn advanced masters or do ctoral degrees in grad (graduate) school. Occupations in certain fields such as l aw 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 m ore years to complete a four-year program because of money / job demands o n their time.While the college and work demands take up the great part of a student’s tim e, 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 a ctivity.76.College education is A in America.A.quite commonB. very rareC. something difficultD. almost impossible77.Which of the following is NOT required for entering most private schools.B .A.entrance examinationsB. taking part in many activitiesC. GPAD. college prep classes78.How can poor students attend private schools? D .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 A 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 B .A.Part-time jobsB. American collegeC. Popular activityD. A new systemⅤ. Writing (20 points)Directions:For this part, you are allowed 20 minutes to write a composition of about 80 words according to the following topic.金钱是一切吗? (Is Money Everything?)Ⅴ. WritingIs Money Everything?I don’t think money is everything, but we can’t do without it. Fox example, money can’t buy us happiness and a good education. 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 transpor tation. 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.。

Undoubtedly, they have proved valuable, but they also have disadvantages. For example, they have increased our already large number of crimes.Hacking was the first computer crime that most of us became aware of. By using their computing expertise, hackers can gain unauthorized access to someone else's computer and make use of the data they find there. They may, for example, find lists of their competitors' clients and use these lists to build up their own businesses or they may use hacking technology to fnd out a rival company's plans. Other hacking activities may be more obviously criminal, because hackers may log on to financial data in someone else's computer and alter it illegally or use it for fraudulent(欺诈的)purposes.The possibility of serious financial fraud has been greatly increased by the modern practice of purchasing goods through the Internet. Apparently, the use of credit cards to pay for purchase has led to many people being swindled(骗取) out of a great deal of money. Banks are working hard to improve online security and to provide safeguards for customers, but frauds are working just as hard to improve their techniques of deceiving people.Many computer users worry about thoir Systems bcing alfected by computor viruses. Pcople who introduce these bugs into other people'8 compuler programs may not intentionally commit a crime but may do so as an act of mischief. The motive does not really matter to people whose data has been deleted or altered or whose files have been corrupted. Computers are part of a highly technical method of working,in which there are constantly new developments. Unfortunately, there is also a constant stream of new developments in the fraud industry associated with them. All computer users must be on their guard.41. From the passage we can know that ________.A. computers are not a relatively new inventionB. computers have proved to be a curse rather than a blessingC. computers have proved to be of utue significanceD. computers have walked into our lives recently42. According to the passage, which of the following can make shopping online safe?A. Improving the banking security systemB. Always using credit cards.C. Withdrawing money from a bank only when you need it .D.Asking friends to shop online for you43.According to the passage, ________.A. computer users must be on guard against computer crimesB. hackers have authorized access to someone else's computerC people don't have to care much about computer virusesD. computer crimes can be prevented easily44. Which of the following is NOT mentioned in the passage as an example of hacking?A. Accessing someone else's financial dataB. Finding out a competitor's plansC. Sending computer viruses to the publicD. Finding the lists of a competitor's clients45. Which of the following can be the best title for the passage?A. Advantages of ComputersB Disadvantages of ComputersC. Computer HackinD. Computers Have Become a Must in PeoPassage 2The terms “global warming” and “climate change” are used by many, seemingly interchangeably. But do they really mean the same thing?Scientists shaped the history of the terms while attempting to accurately describe how humans continueto alter the planet. Later, political strategists adopted the terms to influence public opinion.In 1975, geochemist Wallace Broecker introduced the term “climate change” in an article published by Science. In 1979, a National Academy of Sciences report used the term “global warming” to define increases in the Earth’s average surface temperature, while “climate change” more broadly referred to the numerous effects of this increase, such as sea-level rise and ocean acidification (酸化).During the following decades, some industrialists and politicians launched a campaign to sow doubt in the minds of the American public about the ability offossil-fuel use, deforestation and other human activities to influence the planet’s climate.Word use played a critical role in developing that doubt. For example, the language and polls expert Frank Luntz wrote a memo encouraging the use of “climate change” because the phrase sounded less scary than “global warming”, reported the Guardian.However, Luntz’s recommendation wasn’t necessary. A Google Ngram Viewer chart shows that by 1993 climatechange was already more commonly used in books than global warming. By the end of the next decade both words were used more frequently, and climate change was used nearly twice as often as global warming. NASA used the term “climate change” because it more accurately reflects the wide range of changes to the planet caused by increasing amounts of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere.The debate isn’t new. A century ago, chemist Svante Arrhenius started one of the first debates over the potential for humans to influence the planet’s climate. Arrhenius calculated the capability of carbon dioxide to trap heat in the Earth’s atmosphere, but other chemists disagreed. Some argued that humans weren’t producing enough greenhouse gases, while others claimed the effects would be tiny. Now, of course, we know that whatever you call it, human behavior is warming the planet, with grave consequences ahead.51.Why did politicians use the two terms“ "global warming”“ and“ climate change？A) To sway public opinion of the impact of humanactivities on Earth.B) To more accurately describe the consequences ofC) To win more popular votes in their campaign activities.D) To assure the public of the safety of existing industries52. As used in a National Academy of Sciences report.,the term“ "climate change" differs from“ global warming”in that_______A) it sounds less vagueB)it looks more scientifC)it covers more phenomenaD)it is much closer to reality53. What did industrialists of the late20 Oth century resort to in order to mislead Americans?A)Made-up survey resultsB)Hired climate expertsC)False research findingsD)Deliberate choice of words54. Why did NASA choose the term "climate change"?A) To obtain more fundsB.For greater precisionC)For political needsD) To avoid debate55. What is the author's final conclusion?A)Global warming is the more accurate termB) Accuracy of terminology matters in scienceC)Human activities have serious effects on EarthD)Politics interferes with serious scientific debate翻译1.Wearing a seat belt saves lives; it reduces your chance of death or serious injury by more than half.2.

Reading ComprehensionDirections: In this part there are four passages. Each passage is followed by five questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. You should decide on the best choice and mark the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet with a single line through the centre.Passage OneIf someone is sleepwalking, they are walking around while they are asleep. Sleepwalking happens when a person is not fully asleep but not quite awake. Usually we move from our deepest level of sleep to a lighter level and stay there. Sleepwalkers come right up to wake levels but do not fully awaken. It is at this time that they get up and walk.The longer a person stays in deep sleep, the more time it takes for the sleep to be broken. That opens up the possibility of being awakened (but not fully) and of sleepwalking.Sleepwalking happens more often among young people than grown-ups because young people usually have more deep sleep. Up to 7% of 5 to 12-year-olds sleepwalk, while only about 2% of grown-ups sleepwalk. We get less deep sleep as we aregetting older and the possibility of sleepwalking is also reduced.Sleepwalking may run in families, too. If one of your parents was a sleepwalker, you have about a 50% possibility of also being a sleepwalker.41、 This passage is about ______.A. why sleepwalking happensB. where sleepwalkers goC. what sleepwalkers doD. when sleepwalkers walk42、 Who has more possibility of sleepwalking? ______A. Grown-ups.B. Young people.C. Old men.D. Old women.43、 What does "reduced" mean in "...the possibility of sleepwalking is also reduced" in Paragraph Three? ______A. Opened up.B. Cut down.C. Kept on.D. Sped up.44、 People have more possibility of developing sleepwalk ______.A. when they get olderB. when they become parents themselvesC. if their parents sleep walkedD. if they don't sleep well45、 This passage may be from ______A. a story bookB. a travel bookC. a science bookD. a cooking bookPassage TwoOur eating habits are very important for good health and a strong body. There are times when most of us would rather eat sweets and ice cream than meat and rice. Sweets and ice cream are not bad for the stomach if we eat them at the end of a meal. If we eat them before a meal, they may take away our appetite. It is important for us to eat our meal at the same time each day. When we feel hungry, it is a sign that our bodies need food. When we feel angry or excited, we may not want to eat. When we are worried, we may not want to eat, either.A long time ago, in England, some judges used to decide whether a man was telling the truth by giving him some dry bread. If the man could not swallow the bread, it was a sign that he was not telling the truth—he was telling a lie. Although this seems very strange and rather foolish, it is indeed an excellent way of finding out the truth. A man who is worrying about something has difficulty in swallowing anything dry, because when he is worrying, he loses his appetite and does not want to eat.46、 We had better develop good eating habits if ______.A. we want to eat moreB. we want to save timeC. we want to be healthy and strongD. we want to eat less47、 ______ may take away our appetite before we have our meal.A. Either meat or riceB. Both sweets and ice creamC. Neither sweets nor ice creamD. Not only meat but also rice48、 We had better have our meals ______.A. when our work is overB. at the same time every dayC. when the meal is being cookedD. before we go back home49、 A man who is angry has ______.A. a poor appetiteB. a better appetiteC. to eat more foodD. to eat dry bread50、 The judges in old England considered that a man could ______ if he tolda lie.A. swallow dry bread easilyB. drink milk or hot waterC. hardly swallow dry breadD. eat a lot of dry breadPassage ThreeIf we take a close look at successful language learners, we may discover a few techniques which make language learning easier for them.First of all, successful language learners are independent learners. They do not rely on books or teachers; they discover their own way to learn the language. Instead of waiting for the teacher to explain everything, they try to find the patterns and the rules for themselves. They are good guessers who look for clues and form their own conclusions.Successful language learning is active learning. Therefore, successful learners do not wait for a chance to use the language; they look for such a chance. They find people who speak the language and ask these people to correct them when they make a mistake. They will try anything to communicate. When communication is difficult, they can accept information that is inexact or incomplete. It is more important for them to learn to think in the language than to know the meaning of every word.Finally, successful language learners are learners with a purpose. They want to learn the language because they are interested in the language and the people who speak it. It is necessary for them to learn the language in order to communicate with these people and to learn from them.51、 Successful language learners want to learn the language because ______.A. they have to pass the examinationB. they are interested in itC. they want to find better jobsD. they think it is very easy to learn52、 Successful language learning is active, so successful learners ______.A. only use the language in classB. try to avoid using the languageC. wait for a chance to use the languageD. look for a chance to use the language53、 According to the passage, when successful language learners meet some new words, they usually ______.A. wait for their teachers to explain themB. look them up in the dictionary at onceC. try to guess their meaningD. ask their teachers54、 Which one of the following statements is TRUE about successful language learners according to the passage? ______A. They are more intelligent than others.B. They are learners with a purpose.C. They have good teachers and good books.D. They spend much more time learning than others.55、 What is the purpose of this passage? ______A. To explain the importance of language learning.B. To compare language learning with language teaching.C. To teach people to speak a foreign language.D. To introduce some useful techniques of language learning. Passage FourDo you have a phobia (恐惧症)? Does it spread? No, it is not an infectious (传染的) disease, but it can make you quite as bad. A phobia is an unreasonable fear of some particular thing or situation. Do you know that some people fear heights? That is caned acrophobia. Many people experience claustrophobia when they are in a closed space such as a small room or an elevator. Zoophobia is a fear of animals. There are names for fear of thunder, lightning, wide open spaces, people, crowds, darkness, water, and many other things.A phobia expert tells us that in the coming of a phobic situation, a person has what is called an "anxiety attack". Blood rushes to his larger muscles in preparation for fight or flight.One expert on phobia suggests we reduce our fears gradually. A person who is afraid of people could overcome this fear by getting accustomed to them one at a time. Someone who is afraid of water could take swimming lessons in a pool with a lifeguard at hand. A person afraid of heights could practice looking down from middle heights first until he could handle the greater ones.56、 A person who is afraid of cats is most likely to have ______.A. homophobiaB. acrophobiaC. zoophobiaD. claustrophobia57、 A good way to overcome one's unreasonable fear of something would be ______.A. trying to avoid itB. preparing for fight or flightC. getting rid of the anxiety attackD. trying to get used to it58、 If you have a phobia, ______.A. you must take swimming lessons in a safe poolB. it will be as troublesome as an infectious diseaseC. you may attend some partiesD. you had better practice looking down from middle heights first59、 A man who has a phobia ______.A. is called an anxiety attackB. has blood rush to his legsC. has the feeling of flightD. fears some particular thing or situation60、 The writer of this passage tells us that ______.A. when some phobia breaks out in someone, he will feel too anxious about somethingB. a person who fears people can run a race with othersC. a man afraid of heights can climb to at all building easilyD. everyone dares to swim in pools where there is no lifeguardⅢ. Cloze TestDirections: There are 20 blanks in the following passage. For each blank there are four choices marked A, B, C and D below the passage. You should decide on the ONE that best fits into the passage and mark the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet with a single line through the center.Last week Linda had a job interview, but she was a few minutes late. Wilson 61 the office when she got there. His secretary told her he 62 back soon. She 63 to sit down and wait a little bit in the outer office."I'll never get this job," she 64 herself. For a moment she wantedto 65 the building. Just then, Wilson came 66 the door and hurried into his office. A few minutes 67 his secretary took Linda in and introduced her. Linda apologized 68 . Wilson didn't seem to 69 . They chatted casually(随便地) and then got 70 to business. He 71 her letter of application."You've never worked in a radio or television station before, 72 ?" he said.

Read the passage carefully and translate it into Chinese.81、What is honesty? Honesty means telling the truth and being fair and just in conduct. Considered as a virtue, it is valued in almost every country and every culture. As a proverb goes, "Honesty is the best policy." For one thing, if you want to be trusted and respected, you must be honest. A liar is always looked down upon by the people around. For another, if you want to succeed in your work, honesty is the first quality you should have. Therefore, no matter what dream you have, you should be honest to make it come true.Ⅴ.

Each passage is followed by five questions or unfinished statements. For each of them, there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. You should decide on the best choice and mark the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet with a single line through the centre.Passage 1If someone is sleepwalking, they are walking around while they are asleep. Sleepwalking happens when a person is not fully asleep but not quite awake. Usually we move from our deepest level of sleep to a lighter level and stay there. Sleepwalkers come right up to wake levels but do not fully awaken. It is at this time that they get up and walk.The longer a person stays in deep sleep, the more time there is for the sleep to be broken. That opens up the possibility of being awakened (but not fully) and of sleepwalking.Sleepwalking happens more often among young people than grown-ups because young people usually have more deep sleep. Up to 7% of 5 to 12-year-olds sleepwalk, while only about 2% of grown-ups sleepwalk. We get less deep sleep as we are getting older and the possibility of sleep- walking is also reduced.Sleepwalking may run in families, too. If one of your parents was a sleepwalker, you have about a 50% possibility of also being a sleepwalker.41. This passage is about _______.A. why sleepwalking happensB. where sleepwalkers goC. what sleepwalkers doD. when sleepwalkers walk42. Who has more possibility of sleepwalking?A. Grown-ups.B. Young people.C. Old men.D. Old women.43. What does “reduced” mean in “…the possibility of sleepwalking is also reduced” in ParagraphThree?A. Opened upB. Cut downC. Kept onD. Sped up44.People have more possibility of developing sleepwalk _______.A. when they get olderB. when they become parents themselvesC. if their parents sleepwalkedD. if they don’t sleep well45. This passage may be from _______.A. a story bookB. a travel bookC. a science bookD. a cooking bookPassage 2Our eating habits are very important for good health and a strong body. There are times when most of us would rather eat sweets and ice-cream than meat and rice. Sweets and ice-cream are not bad for the stomach if we eat them at the end of the meal. If we eat them before a meal, they may take away our appetite. It is important for us to eat our meal at the same time each day. When we are hungry, it is a sign that our bodies need food. When we feel angry or excited, we may not want to eat. When we are worried, we may not want to eat, either.A long time ago, in England, some judges used to decide whether a man was telling truth by giving him some dry bread. If the man could not swallow the bread, it was sign that he wasn’t telling the trut h—he was telling a lie. Although this seems very strange and foolish, it is indeed an excellent way of finding out the truth. A man who is worrying about something has difficulty in swallowing anything dry. Because when he is worrying, he loses his appetite and does not want to eat.46. We had better develop good eating habits if _________.A. we want to eat moreB. we want to save timeC. we want to be healthy and strongD. we want to eat less47. _________ may take away our appetite before we have our meal.A. Either meat or riceB. Both sweets and ice creamC. Neither sweets nor ice creamD. Not only meat but also rice48. We had better have our meals _________.A. when our work is overB. at the same time every dayC. when the meal is being cookedD. before we go back home49. A man who is angry has _________.A. a poor appetiteB. a better appetiteC. to eat more foodD. to eat dry bread50. The judges in old England considered that a man could _________ if he told a lie.A. swallow dry bread easilyB. drink milk or hot waterC. hardly swallow dry breadD. eat a lot of dry breadPassage 3If we take a close look at these successful language learners, we may discover a few of the techniques which make language learning easier for them.First of all, successful language learners are independent learners. They do not depend on the book or the teacher; they discover their own way to learn the language. Instead of waiting for the teacher to explain, they try to find the patterns and the rules for themselves. They are good guessers who look for clues and form their own conclusions. When they guess wrong, they guess again. They try to learn from mistakes.Successful language learning is active learning. Therefore, successful learners do not wait for a chance to use the language; they look for such a chance. They find people who speak the language and they ask these people to correct them when they make a mistake. They will try anything to communicate. When communication is difficult, they can accept information that is inexact or incomplete. It is more important for them to learn to think in the language than to know the meaning of every word.Finally, successful language learners are learners with a purpose. They want to learn the language because they are interested in the language and the people who speak it. It is necessary for them to learn the language in order to communicate with these people and to learn from them.51. Successful language learners want to learn the language because ________.A. they have to pass the examinationB. they are interested in itC. they want to find better jobsD. they think it is very easy to learn52. Successful language learning is active, so successful learners ________.A. only use the language in classB. try to avoid using the languageC. wait for a chance to use the languageD. look for a chance to use the language53. According to the passage, when successful language learners meet some new words, theyusually ________.A. wait for their teachers to explain themB. look them up in the dictionary at onceC. try to guess their meaningD. ask their teachers54. Which one of the following statements is TRUE about successful language learners accordingto the passage?A. They are more intelligent than others.B. They are learners with a purpose.C. They have good teachers and good books.D. They spend much more time learning than others.55. What is the purpose of this passage?A. To explain the importance of language learning.B. To compare language learning with language teaching.C. To teach people to speak a foreign language.D. To introduced some useful techniques of language learning.Passage 4Do you have a phobia (恐惧症)? Does it spread? No, it is not an infectious (传染的) disease, but it can make you quite as bad. A phobia is an unreasonable fear of some particular thing or situation. Did you know that some people fear heights? That is called acrophobia. Many people experience claustrophobia when they are in a closed space such as a small room or an elevator. Zoophobia is a fear of animals. There are names for fear of thunder, lightning, wide open spaces, people, crowds, darkness, water, and many other things.A Phobia expert tells us that in the coming of a phobic situation a person has what is called an “anxiety attack.” Blood rushes to his larger muscles in preparation for flight or fight.One expert on phobia suggests we reduce our fears gradually. A person who is afraid of people could overcome this fear by getting accustomed to them one at a time. Someone who is afraid of water could take swimming lessons in a pool with a lifeguard at hand. A person afraid of heights could practice looking down from middle heights first until he could handle the greater ones.56. A person who is afraid of cats is most likely to have _________.A. homophobiaB. acrophobiaC. ZoophobiaD. claustrophobia57. A good way to overcome one’s unreasonable fear of something would be _________.A. trying to avoid itB. preparing for flight or fightC. getting rid of the anxiety attackD. trying to get used to it58. If you have a phobia, _________.A. you must take swimming lessons in a safe poolB. it will be as troublesome as an infectious diseaseC. you may attend some partiesD. you’d better practice looking down from middle heights first59. A man who has a phobia _________.A. is called an anxiety attackB. has blood rush to his legsC. has the feeling of flightD. fears some particular thing60. The writer of the text tells us that _________.A. when some phobia breaks out in someone, he will feel too anxious about somethingB. a person who fears people can run a race with othersC. a man afraid of heights can climb to a tall building easilyD. everyone dares to swim in pools where there is no lifeguard.Part III Cloze Test (20 points)Directions: There are 20 blanks in the following passage.

Does it spread? No, it is not an infectious (传染的) disease, but it can make you quite as bad. A phobia is an unreasonable fear of some particular thing or situation. Do you know that some people fear heights? That is caned acrophobia. Many people experience claustrophobia when they are in a closed space such as a small room or an elevator. Zoophobia is a fear of animals. There are names for fear of thunder, lightning, wide open spaces, people, crowds, darkness, water, and many other things.A phobia expert tells us that in the coming of a phobic situation, a person has what is called an "anxiety attack". Blood rushes to his larger muscles in preparation for fight or flight.One expert on phobia suggests we reduce our fears gradually. A person who is afraid of people could overcome this fear by getting accustomed to them one at a time. Someone who is afraid of water could take swimming lessons in a pool with a lifeguard at hand.

He was dressed in deer-hunting clothes, but he had no gun with him. When he got nearer, the two friends saw that he was following a deer's track in the snow. They were both very surprised to see a man tracking a deer without a gun. So when he reached them, they stopped him and asked him whether anything was wrong and whether they could help him. The man sat down beside them, accepted a cup of coffee and told them his story.Like them, he had gone out deer-hunting that morning with a friend. They had seen a deer with very big horns, and had followed it for some time. Then he had fired at it, and it had fallen just where it stood. He and his friend had run over to examine it, and he had said to his friend, "this deer's horns will make a wonderful rack for my guns when I get it home." He had then arranged his gun in the deer's horns and stepped back a fewyards to see exactly how they would look as a gun rack on the wall of his study. He had been admiring the effect when the deer had suddenly jumped up, shaken itself and raced away, carrying his gun firmly stuck in its horns.41. When did George usually go hunting?A. When his friend Peter was free.B. Any day when he and Peter didn't have to work during the hunting season.C. When he had his weapon ready.D. On Saturdays.42. In the forest, George and Peter saw _____.A. a deer with a gunB. a man following a deer's footprints in the snowC. a man sitting on a logD. a deer's track in the snow43. He had gone into the forest _____.A. aloneB. with George and PeterC. with some friendsD. with another deer hunter44. The man hunted the deer mainly for _____.A. its skinB. its bonesC. its meatD. its horns45. It was _____ that made him lose his gun.A. the big horns of the deerB. his friendC. his wish to decorate his study with the hornsD. the deer-hunting that morningPassage TwoQuestions 46 to 50 are based on the following passage:I found out one time that doing a favor for someone could get you into a lot of trouble. I was in the eighth grade at the time, and we were having a final test. During the test, the girl sitting next to me whispered something, but I didn't understand. So I leaned over her way and found out that she was trying to ask me if I had an extra pen. She showed me that hers was out of ink and would not write. I happened to have an extra one, so I took it out of my pocket and put it on her desk.Later, after the test papers had been turned in, the teacher asked me to stay in the room when all the other students were dismissed. As soon as we were alone she began to talk to me about what it meant to grow up; she mentioned how important it was to stand on your own two feet and be responsible for your own acts. For a long time, she talked about honesty and emphasized the fact that when people do something dishonest, they are really cheating themselves. She made me promise that I would think seriously about all the things she had said, and then she told me I could leave. I walked out of the room wondering why she had chosen to talk to me about all those things.Later on, I found out that she thought I had cheated on the test. When she saw me lean over to talk to the girl next to me, it looked as though I was copying answers from the girl's test paper.I tried to explain about the pen, but all she could say was it seemed awfully strange to her that I hadn't mentioned anything about the pen the day she talked to me right after the test. Even though I tried to explain that I was just doing the girl a favor by letting her use my pen, I am sure she continued to believe that I had cheated on the test.46. The story took place _____.A. in the teacher's officeB. in an exam roomC. in the corridorD. in the sound lab47. The girl wanted to borrow a pen, because _____.A. she had not brought a pen with herB. she had lost her own on her way to schoolC. there was something wrong with her ownD. her own had been taken away by someone48. The teacher saw all this, so she asked the boy _____.A. to go on writing his paperB. to stop whisperingC. to leave the room immediatelyD. to stay behind after the exam49. The teacher _____.A. asked him to explain why he was leaning overB. said whispering in the exam was wrongC. told him not to do the same next timeD. emphasized the importance of doing the paper all by oneself50. The boy _____.A. didn't have any more talk with the teacherB. met the teacher again but said nothingC. made some explanation about the pen later onD. would prefer to keep away from the teacherPassage ThreeQuestions 51 to 55 are based on the following passage:"You, sir, are the greatest athlete in the world."It was the King of Sweden talking to Jim Thorpe at the 1912Olympics in Stockholm. Thorpe had just set a world record in the decathlon championship. The decathlon has ten track and field events. It is the greatest test in sports of a man's speed, strength, skill and . But Thorpe had also won the pentathlon (五项全能) and set a world record. The pentathlon has five track and field events. No man before him had ever won both. No man has done it since.Who was Jim Thorpe? He was a Sac and Fox Indian born near Prague, Oklahoma, on May 28, 1888. At the age of 16, he entered the Carlisle Indian School in Carlisle, Pennsylvania. At Carlisle, Thorpe starred in practically every sport. But he won his greatest fame as a football player. He was a six-foot, one-inch, 190-pound powerhouse (强健的男子) with amazing speed.Jim's greatest game was in 1911 against Harvard, then the top team in the country.In that rugby (橄榄球) match, Thorpe played most bravely. The final score was 18-15 in favour of Thorpe's team and Thorpe had scored every point for his team!Then in 1912 Thorpe won even greater glory at the Olympic Games. Unfortunately, Thorpe made one mistake. One summer while at Carlisle he played professional baseball for $15 a week. Thorpe did not understand that this made him a professional athlete. In 1913 it was discovered that Thorpe had played as a pro (=professional). He had to give up all his Olympic medals and trophies. All his records were wiped out.In 1950, 393 sportswriters voted Thorpe the greatest athlete of the century.51. The best title for this selection probably is _____.A. A Sac and Fox IndianB.

Short-range goals are those that usually deal with current activities, which we can apply on a daily basis. Such goals can be achieved in a week or less, or two weeks, or possible months. It should be remembered that just as a building is no stronger than its foundation, our long-term goals cannot amount to very much without the achievement of solid short-term goals. Upon completing our short-term goals, we should date the occasion and then add new short-term goals that will build on those that have been completed.The intermediate goals build on the foundation of the short-range goals. They might deal with just one term of school or the entire school year, or they could even extend for several years. Any time you move a step at a time, you should never allow yourself to become discouraged or overwhelmed. As you complete each step, you will enforce the belief in your ability to grow and succeed. And as your list of completion dates grow, your motivation and desire will increase.Long-range goals may be related to our dreams of the future. They might cover five years or more. Life is not a static thing. We should never allow a long-term goal to limit us or our course of action.1.Our long-term goals mean a lot__.A. if we complete our short-range goalsB. if we cannot reach solid short-term goalsC. if we write down the datesD. if we put forward some plans2.New short-term goals are built upon__.A. two yearsB. long-term goalsC. current activitiesD. the goals that have been completed3.When we complete each step of our goals ,__.A. we will win final successB. we are overwhelmedC. we should build up confidence of successD. we should strong desire for setting new goals4.Once our goals are drawn up,__.A. we should stick to them until we complete themB. we may change our goals as we have new ideas and opportunitiesC. we had better wait for the exciting news of successD. we have made great decision5.It is implied but not stated in the passage that ___.A. those who have long-term goals will succeedB. writing down the dates may discourage youC. the goal is only a guide for us to reach our destinationD. every should have a goalPassage twoOn the night of December 8, 1992, when he was standing in a parking lot talking to friends, Tracy Marsh jumped to the top of a car, as he had done a hundred times before. This time, though, Tracy lost his balance. His head struck the ground, hard.All night, Cory, Tracy’s mother, stood next to her son, who was lying in a hospital bed, his brown eyes fixed in a lifeless stare. She remembered that Tracy had once mentioned organ donation. Maybe I can spare another family this pain, she thought. When the time came, she and her husband Bill signed the forms permitting his organs to be donated.Tracy was declared dead the next day. Twenty=-four hours later, in a Boston hospital, Tracy’s liver was made part of my husband, David, Who was suffering from a hopeless liver disease.Months later, we learned from the local organ bank that the donor’s parents wished desperately to meet someone who had gained life through the gift from their son. A meeting was arranged by the organ bank to bring together two families linked by the most bittersweet ties imaginable.The meeting was risky, but worth it. We talked for 3 hours.

We do.” It is true that men have invented a lot of useful things: machines, rockets, and guns, too. But scientists now agree that women invented one very important thing. It has chanted history. They invented agriculture.Before the invention of agriculture men were hunters. They went out every day. Sometimes they killed animals, and sometimes animals killed them. Life was difficult and dangerous. Women had to go out everyday, too. They collected roots, fruits and grass.Then, one day, more than 10,000 years ago, a woman dropped some grass seeds. She dropped them near her home in the Middle East. They grew, and the first wheat was born. The idea grew, too. Women planted roots and fruit trees. Then they could stay at home and look after children and the animals. Women like baby animals. Scientists think that women kept the first domestic animals: dogs, cows, sheep and goats. Then their husbands did not have to go hunting for meat. They stayed at home. They built villages and cities. Civilization began. Men began civilization—after women invented agriculture.26.Men believe that they are better and cleverer than women because___.A. they invent thingsB. they do their work wellC. they change historyD. they run machines27.Before the invention of agriculture, men went out___.A. to collect animalsB. to find animalsC. to hunt animalsD. to kill animals28.One day, more than 10,000 years ago, a woman___.A. found wheatB. planted fruit treesC. let fall some grass seedsD. grew vegetables29.From the passage, it can be concluded that women___.A. started civilizationB. knew what civilization wasC. helped a lot to start civilizationD. understood how important civilization was30.The author wrote the article just to tell us___.A. how agriculture was related to civilizationB. we owe our civilization to womenC. what men had done before agriculture startedD. when civilization beganC:Online services are managed by a host system that maintains a base of information available to satellite users. Users of so-called “dumb” terminals (i.e., those without processing c apability) simply access the information base via programs stored on the system. Personal computer (PC) users typically access the host through a modem (调制解调器). A PC software program serves as an interface (接口) between the server and a PC, allowing the user to operate through the online system and select different databases using a keyboard of a mouse.National and regional online systems usually have local telephone numbers that PC modems can call to access either a local information base or an indirect long-distance connection, thus reducing long-distance telephone fees. Some online systems allow users to copy large volumes of information onto a local memory storage device, which also reduces the time the user is connected to the online system.Besides offering a great number of different information based, ranging from full-text journal libraries to reports of missing children, online services allow users to , for example, reserve airline tickets, buy stocks, purchase goods, and communicate with other users. In exchange for theservice, users usually pay a monthly membership gee.

The company says the effort involves using the power of information and technology to help people improve their lives.James Lee works for —— the part of the company that gives money to good causes.

In Southeast Asia and Africa, for example, will work with partners to strengthen early-warning systems and take action against growing health threats.’s second project will invest in ways to help small and medium-sized businesses grow. James Lee says microfinance (⼩额信贷) is generally small, short-term loans that create few jobs. Instead, he says wants to develop ways to bring investors and business owners together to create jobs and improve economic growth. will also give money to help two climate-change programs announced earlier this year. One of these programs studies ways tomake renewable (再⽣的) energy less costly than coal-based energy.

However, a group of Dutch architects have already begun 3D printing an entire canal house in Amsterdam. Is the first 3D printed house a gimmick(喙头)？Definitely! Is it an experiment that pushes the possibilities for 3D printing technology and architecture? Maybe!3D Print Canal House is the brainchild of DUS Architects. “KamerMaker,”Dutch for “room maker”, is their giant printer built inside a shipping container. Just a few weeks ago, KamerMaker began printing plastic furniture and walls at an empty canal-side lot in northern Amsterdam. Smaller versions of the unusual honeycomb walls have been tested on normal desktop printers, and everyone just needed to scale it up (按⽐例放⼤). Well, if only it were that easy.“The printer did not always manage to spread the plastic evenly(均匀的)， making some of the ribs of the honeycomb structure of the block uneven,”reported ARN(Australian Radio Network) to the surprise of no one who has used a 3D printer. But the architects remain optimistic. The first few printed blocks are means to be test prices as they improve the process.It takes about a week to print a 3-meter high block right now. The project’s le aders hope to eventually get that down to two hours and finish the first of 12 rooms in a year, and the entire housein less than 3 years.Finally, 3D Print Canal House is an architecture research project, one that is very much being conducted in the public eye. You can actually buy tickets to visit the construction site for Euros.The top floors will become more decorated, for example, as newer techniques are used. They’ll explore the possibilities of 3D printing, like honeycomb walls or an entire room recycled, redesigned, and built again. Nobody’s going to move into 3D printed house soon, but, if anyone ever dose, something might be learned from this experiment by the email.41. What have the Dutch architects begun to use 3D printer to do according to the passage?___A. To make heavy paperweights.B. To print the unusual honeycomb.C. To print an entire canal house.D. To build a shipping container42. Where did KamerMaker begin printing plastic furniture and walls several weeks ago?A. It was inside a shipping container in Amsterdam.B. It was at an empty canal-side lot in northern Amsterdam.C. It was in a canal house in Amsterdam.D. It was in a room.43. What is the weakness of the 3D printer mentioned in the passage?A. It cannot always spread the plastic evenly.B. It needs to be shortened.C. It cannot make the ribs of the honeycomb structure.D. It can print anything smoothly.44. How long will it take for the 3D printer to make the canal house in Amsterdam?A. A weekB. Two hoursC. More than 3 yearsD. Less than 3 years45. Which of the following statements is WRONG according to thepassage?A. This canal house is being built in the public eye.B. The top floors of the canal house will be more decorated.C. Someone is going to move into this canal house soon.D. One can visit the construction site for Euros.Task 3Let’s say you have a certain amount of money you’ve saved up for holiday gifts. If you want to get something for everyone on your list, you can’t spend much on any single purchase.But have you ever heard the expression "time is money "? There’s some truth to it! We “spend”time ju st like we “spend”money, and in both cases, we have to spend it wisely if we want to get something good in return. Just like you might get an allowance of 10 dollars a week. Or 38 dollars for a trip to the mall, each day we are given 24 hours of time.The earliest way to help you get everything done to budget that time! This is all about:-Examining your Have-to’s and Want-to’s.-Examining your how much time your Have-to’s and Want-to’s will take up.-Working out a plan that let’s you s peed the amount of time on each one.Once you have this plan, a “time budget”, you’ll be better able to create a Daily Schedule and Weekly Planner. Of course, everyday isn’t exactly the same as the next, so it may help you to make a different time budget for different days.Let’s look at a sample time budget on Wednesday:Sleep 8 hoursShower, dressing, ready for school 1/2 hourBreakfast 1/2 hourBus for school 1/2 hourSchool 7 hoursBus home 1/2 hourSoccer practice 2 hoursHousehold chores 1/2 hourHomework 2 hoursDinner 1/2 hourTV time 1 hourReading/personal time 1 hourTotal time spent 24 hours Great! That day’s budget works out, because it all adds up 24 hours. If the total came out to be more than that, we would have choose something to cut down or drop from that day. When you make these types of decision, you choose priorities.Task 4[A]Interest in pursuing international careers has risen in recent years strengthened by permanent personnel shortages that are causing companies to search beyond their home borders for talent.[B] Professionals seek career experience outside of their home countries for a variety of reasons. They may feel the need to recharge their batteries with a new challenge. They may want a position with more responsibility that encourages creativity. Or they may wish to expose their children to another culture, and the opportunity to learn a second language.[C]When applying for a job, one usually has to submit a resume or curriculum vitae (CV). The two terms generally mean the same thing: a one--or two--page document describing one's educational qualifications and professional experience. However, guidelines for preparing a resume are constantly changing. The best advice is to find out what is appropriate regarding the company culture, the country culture, and the culture of the person making the hiring decision. The challenge will be to include two or more cultures in one document. The following list is a good place to start.[D]“Educational requirements differ from country to country. In almost every case of'cross--border' job hunting, just stating the title of your degree will not be an adequate description. Provide the reader with details about your studies and any related experience. "[E]Pay attention to the resume format you use-chronological or reverse-chronological order. Chronological order means listing your 'oldest' work experience first. Reverse-chronological order means listing your current or most recent experience first. Most countries have preferences about which format is most acceptable. If you find no specific guidelines, the general preference is for the reverse-chronological format."[F]If you are submitting your resume in English, find out if the receiver uses British English or American English because there are changes between the two versions. For example, university education is often referred to as 'tertiary education' in the United Kingdom, but this term is almost never used in the United States. A reader who is unfamiliar with these changes may assume that your resume contains errors.51. The author believes that an individual who applies to work overseas seekseither his own or his children's development.52. When it comes to resume writing, it is best to take cultural factors intoconsideration.53. According to the author's last piece of advice, the applicants should be aware ofthe differences between the changes of English.54. Companies are hiring more foreign employees because they have difficultyfinding qualified personnel at home.55. When writing about qualifications, applicants are advised to provide a detaileddescription of their study and work experiences.Part IV Translation (25 points)Directions: I n this part you are required to translate Chinese into English or English into Chinese.

There is one particularstory that he always told with great delight.In his early days as a lawyer, Lincoln went from town to town to hear and judge legal cases. During one of these trips, he was sitting in a train when a strange man came up to him. The stranger looked at the tall clumsy（愚笨的）lawyer and said that he had something he believed belonged to him. Lincoln was a bit puzzled. He had never seen the man before. He didn’t see ho w a total stranger could have something of his. Lincoln asked him how this could be. The stranger pulled out a pencil knife and began to explain. Many years before, he had been given the pencil knife. He had been told to keep it until he was able to find a man uglier than himself.Lincoln’s eyes always sparkled when he reached this part of the story. The story always brought smiles to the faces of those who heard it. The tale itself was funny. But even more delightful was the fact that a man as Lincoln could still laugh at himself.41.

If the diggers strike water, the tunnel will be flooded. If the rock is too hard, workers will not be able to dig through it. Before a tunnel can be built, people must know what they will find. They call in a geologist. She or he helps plan a tunnel so it can go through rock that is dry and hard, but not too hard.A steel and concrete skyscraper is going up. A skyscraper cannot be built over sand or mud. Sand and mud cannot hold up a building. Before a skyscraper can be built, people must know what lies under the surface of the earth.

The outer wall of the harbour would stand on steel columns resting on the seabed. Naturally this could only be where the water was fairly shallow（浅的）. The flats would all face inwards, and would be made of concrete and glass. The glass would be specially made and coloured to control the heat and strong light from the sun. The planners called this water the lake.The water inside this man-made harbour would be calm. And on the water would be floating lands carrying more buildings, a hospital, two theatres, a museum, and an art exhibition hall and a church. On one of the island would be a special plant, to take the salt out of seawater and turn it into fresh water.People living in the city could move around on small boats driven by electricity, so there would be no air pollution from the burning of petrol. There would be platforms outside the main wall for ships bringing supplies. People could also travel to the mainland by motorboat or water plane.51. Which is TRUE according to the passage?A. The city was to be designed together with a harbour.B. The walls around the city would be made of steel and glass.C. The building of the city would rest on a floating island.D.

That this was so, it should be said, was to no small extent the fault of banks and bankers themselves. Banks used to be—and a few still are—forbidding structures. Behind the little barred windows were, more often than not, elderly gentlemen whose expression of friendliness reflected the size of the customer’s account, and nothing less than a few hundred thousand in the bank could have inspired the suggestion of a smile.And yet the average bank for many year was, to the average citizen, a fearful, if necessary, instrument for dealing with business—usually big business. But somewhere in the past quarter century, banks Began to grow human, even pleasant, and started to attract the little man. It is possible that this movement began in medium-sized towns, or in small towns where people know each other by their first names, and spread to big towns. At any rate, the results have been remarkable.The movement to “humanize” hanks, of course, received a big push during the war, when more and more women were employed to do work previously performed by men. Also more and more “little” people found themselves in need of personal loans, as taxes became heavier and as the practice of installment (分期付款) buying broke down the previously long—held concept that there was something almost morally wrong about being in debt. All sorts of people began to discover that the intelligent use of credit (信贷) could be extremely helpful.51.The author believes that the unfriendly atmosphere in banks many years ago was chiefly due to ________.A) the outer appearance of bank buildingsB) unfriendliness of customers toward banksC) economic pressure of the timeD) the attitude of hankers52.The banks of many years ago showed interest only in ________.A) regular visitorsB) rich customersC) friendly businessmenD) elderly gentlemen53.When did banks begin to grow human?A) Sometime before the war.B) A few years ago.C) During the war.D) In the last century.54.What helped to push the “humanization” of banks?A) More and more “little” people became customers of banks.B) The elderly gentlemen in banks were replaced by women.C) More banks were set up in small and medium-sized towns.D) The size of the customer’s account was greatly increased.55.Average People seldom borrowed money from bank in the bank because ________.A) the bank buildings looked forbiddingB) they were comparatively rich before the warC) they thought it was not proper to be in debtD) they rarely spent more than they could earnPassage TwoQuestions 56 to 60 are based on the following passage.Last summer, Transportation Secretary Elizabeth Dole announced a new rule: Unless states representing two-thirds of the country’s population pass compulsory (强制性的) seat-belt-use laws by April 1989, all new vehicles will have to be fitted with air bags or automatic seat belts.The rule wouldn’t have been necessary but for one simple fact. Even though seat belts could prevent nearly half of the deaths in fatal car accidents, 85 percent of the population simply won’t wear them.Why not? Behavioral engineers have found that there are all sorts of reasons—usually unstated. These are some of the most popular. It’s safer to be thrown from a car man trapped. According to E. Scott Geller, that’s a faulty argument. “In fact”, he says, “being thrown from a car is twenty-five times more dangerous than being trapped”.It won’t happen to me; I’m a good driver. But what about the other person who may be a terrible driver? The data show that the average incidence (发生率) for all accidents in one per driver every 10 years.My car will end up underwater or on fire, and I won’t be able to get out. According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), only 0.5 percent of allinjury-producing accidents occur under these conditions. “If you’re wearing a belt, you’ve got a better chance of being conscious and not having your legs broken—distinct advantages in getting out of a dangerous situation”.I’m only going a few blocks. Yet 80 percent of accidents happen at speeds or less that25 miles per hour, 75 percent happen within 25 miles of home.56.Before 1989, in the United States ________.A) the use of seat belts was not compulsory for the majority of the populationB) a new law requiring the use of seat belts had just been passedC) people had to choose between the use of seat belts or the use of air bagsD) almost fifty percent of the people involved in car accidents were saved by seat Belts57.The word “trapped” (Para. 3, Line 3) means to be ________.A) held up in a traffic jamB) confined in the carC) caught in an accidentD) pulled into a car58.One of the reasons why many drivers refuse to wear seat belts is because ________.A) they don’t think that it is comfortable to wear seat beltsB) they don’t believe that an accident involving a terrible driver is highly probableC) they believe that no danger is involved in just driving a few blocksD) they think that few drivers are willing to wear seat belts59.It can be inferred from the passage that ________.A) seat belts should be replaced by air bagsB) eighty-five percent of all drivers are likely to Break traffic rulesC) all drivers, whether good or bad, are liable to have an accident at one time or anotherD) wearing seat belts will get drivers out of dangerous situations60.The purpose of the writer in writing this passage is ________.A) to urge the government to pass the law soonerB) to tell how dangerous car-driving can beC) to criticise those who refuse to use seat beltsD) to prove the necessity of the new rulePassage ThreeQuestions 61 to 65 are based on the following passage.For well over 2000 years the world’s great religions have taught the virtues of a trusting heart. Now there is another reason to merit the wisdom of the ages: scientific evidence indicates that those with trusting hearts will live longer, healthier lives.As a result of the work published in the 1970s by two pioneering heart specialists, Meyer Friedman and Ray H. Rosenman, nearly every American is aware that blood Type. A people are impatient, and easily moved to hostility and anger. Many have come to believe that Type As are at a much higher risk of suffering heart attack or dying of heart disease than others.The driving force behind hostility is a cynical (愤世嫉俗) mistrust of others. If we expect others to mistreat us, we are seldom disappointed. This generates anger and leads us to respond with hostility.The most characteristic attitude of a cynic is being suspicious of the motives of people he doesn’t know. Imagine you are waiting for an elevator and it stops two floors above for longer than usual. How inconsiderate (不替别人着想的) You think. In a few seconds, you have drawn hostile conclusions about unseen people and their motives.Meanwhile, your cynical mistrust is leading to noticeable physical consequences. Your voice rises. The rate and depth of your breathing increases. Your heart is beating faster and harder, and the muscles of your arms and legs become tight. You feel “charged up”, ready for action.If you frequently experience these feelings, you may be at increased risk of developing serious health problems. Anger can add to the risk of heart and other diseases.61.According to the author, people with trusting hearts are ________.A) usually intelligent and wiseB) usually very religiousC) less likely to get heart diseasesD) not likely to be mistreated by others62.The book by Meyer Friedman and Ray H. Rosenman most probably discusses ________.A) friendliness and hostilityB) trust and mistrust of peopleC) heart diseases and death rateD) people’s characters and their blood types63.According to the passage, if you have a fixed idea in mind that people will mistreat you, you will always find it ________.A) to be disappointingB) to be pleasingC) to be wrongD) to be so64.A cynic, in the passage, is a person ________.A) who is always ready to fightB) who usually has doubts about the people around himC) whose behaviour usually leads to serious health problemsD) whose behaviour usually seems strange to the people he knows65.The author’s intention in writing the passage is to ________.A) advise people to be patientB) analyze the danger of heart diseasesC) persuade people to be trustfulD) praise the wisdom of the old peopleShort Answer QuestionsDirections:In this part there is a short passage with five questions or incomplete statements. Read the passage carefully. Then answer the questions or complete the statements in the fewest possible words (not exceeding 10 words.)For many women choosing whether to work or not to work outside their home is a luxury: they must work to survive. Others face a hard decision.Perhaps the easiest choice has to do with economics. One husband said, “Marge and I decided after careful consideration that for her to go back to work at this moment was an extravagance (奢侈) we couldn’t afford.” With two preschool children, it soon became clear in their figuring that with babysitters (临时照看小孩的人), transportation, and increased taxes, rather than having more money, they might actually end up with less.Economic factors are usually the first to be considered, but they are not the most important. The most important aspects of the decision have to do with the emotional needs of each member of the family. It is in this area that husbands and wives find themselves having to face many confusing and conflicting feelings.There are many women who find that homemaking is boring or who feel imprisoned (被囚禁) if they have to stay home with a young child or several children. On the other hand, there are women who think that homemaking gives them the deepest satisfaction.From my own experience. I would like to suggest that sometime the decision to go back to work is made in too much haste. There are few decisions that I now regret more. I wasn’t mature enough to see how much I could have gained at home. I regret my impatience to get on with my career. I wish I had allowed myself the luxury of watching the world through my little girl’s eyes.Questions:66.Which word in the first tow paragraphs best explains why many women have to work?67.Why did Marge and her husband think it an extravagance for Marge to go back to work?68.What are the two major considerations in deciding whether women should go out to work?69.Some women would rather do housework and take care of their children than pursue a career because they feel ________.70.If given a second chance, the writer would probably choose to ________.Part IV Translation71. 他要她放弃工作在家照顾孩子，但是她觉得这个要求太过分了。

There are other things like that. For example, radio waves are all around us but we cannot detect them, sense them, without a radio receiver, Similarly, we cannot sense radioactivity without a radio detector. But unlike common radio waves, nuclear radiation is not harmless to human beings and other things.At very high levels, radiation can kill an animal or human being outright by killing masses of cells in vital organs. But even the lowest levels can do serious damage. There is no level of radiation that is completely safe. If the radiation does not hurt anything important, the damage may not be significant. This is the case when only a few cells are hit, and if they are killed outright, your body will replace the dead cells with healthy ones. But if the few cells are only damaged, and if they re-produce themselves, you may be in trouble. They reproduce themselves in a deformed way. They can grow into cancer. Sometimes this does not show up for many years.This is another reason for some of the mystery about nuclear radiation. Serious damage can be done without the victim being aware at the time that damage has occurred. A person can be irradiated and feel fine, then die of cancer five, ten or twenty years later as a result. Or a child can be born weak or liable to serious illness as a result of radiation absorbed by its grandparents.Radiation can hurt us. We must know the truth.46. The author' s purpose in writing this passage is __________.A. to explain what nuclear power isB. to explain what nuclear radiation isC. to warn people of the danger of nuclearD. to list the bad points of nuclear power47. All of the following are the shared qualities of nuclear radiation and common radio waves, except__________.A. they are all around usB. they cannot be touchedC. they cannot be seenD. they cannot be detected by human senses48. The least serious damage nuclear radiation may do on a person is to __________.A. kill a few cells outright, which will be replaced with healthy onesB. damage a fen cells, which will reproduce themselvesC. kill masses of cells in vital organsD. deform some brain cells49. Radiation can hurt us in the way that it can __________.A. kill large number of cells in main organs so as to cause death immediatelyB. damage cells which may grow into cancer years laterC. affect the healthy growth of the offspringD. all of the above50. We can infer from the passage that __________.A. the danger of nuclear radiation should not be emphasizedB. only nuclear radiation can cause cancerC. some people might have been hurt by nuclear radiation without their realizing itD. nuclear radiation can cause accidentsPassage 3Telephone, television, radio, and the Internet help people communicate with each other. Because of these devices (设备) , ideas and news of events spread quickly all over the world. For example, within seconds, people can know the results of an election in another country. An international football match comes into the homes of everyone with a television set. News of a disaster (灾难) , such as a flood, can bring help from distant countries. Within hours, help is on the way. This is because modern technology information travels fast.How has this speed of communication changed the world? To many people, the world has become smaller. Of course, this does not mean that the world is actually physically smaller. It means that the world seems smaller. Two hundred years ago, communication between the continents took a long time. All news was carried on ships that took weeks or even months to cross the oceans. In the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries, it took six weeks for news from Europe to reach America. This time difference influenced people's actions. For example, a few battles in the war of 1812 between England and the United States could have been avoided (避免). A peace agreement had already been signed. Peace was made in England, but the news of peace took six weeks to reach America. During these six weeks, the large and serious Battle of New Orleans (新奥尔良) was fought. Many people lost their lives after a peace treaty (条约) had been signed. They would not have died if news had come in time. In the past, communication took much more time than it does now. There was a good reason why the world seemed so much larger than it does today.51. Why does news spread fast?A. Because of a peace agreement.B. Because of the changes of the world.C. Because of new technology.D. Because of modem transportation.52. According to this passage, ________ is very important to people in a disaster area.A. the newsB. new ideasC. fast communicationD. modern technology53. Which of the following statements is true based on the text?A. The world now seems smaller because of the faster communication.B. The world is actually smaller today.C. The world is changing in size.D. The distance between England and America has changed since the War of 1812.54. Two hundred years ago, news between the continents was carried _________.A. by telephoneB. by landC. by airD. by sea55. The New Orleans Battle could have been avoided if the peace agreement had been signed _________.A. by both sidesB. in timeC. in AmericaD. in EnglandPassage 4Anna Douglas was seventy-two years old when she started writing her newspaper column. She had been the director of a school before she retired, but she needed to keep busy. She was even willing to work without pay. That was the reason she found a volunteer job with an agency. The agency that she chose to work for was a business that helped other businesses find jobs for old people. Every day she talked with other retired people like herself. By talking, she recognized two things. Old people had abilities that were not being used. Old people also had problems--mostly problems with communication.Mrs. Douglas found a new purpose for herself. Through the years, from time to time she had written stories about people for national magazines. Now there was a new subject; old people like herself. She began to write a newspaper column called "Over Sixty", which focuses on getting old. She writes about the problems of old people, especially their problems with being misunderstood.Anna Douglas uses her thinking ability to see the truth behind a problem. She understands the reasons why problems begin. She understands old people and young people, too. For example, one of her readers said that his grandchildren left the house as soon as he came to visit. Mrs. Douglas suggested some ways for him to increase understanding with his grandchildren. She told him to listen to young people's music and to watch the most popular television shows."It's important to know something about your grandchildren's world," says Mrs. Douglas. "But most of all, keep your mind open. Do not close out other people. Listen to the other people in your family. Keep on talking. And above all else, keep on listening and communicating. You stop living when you stop sharing ideas with other."56. Mrs. Douglas, aged 72, is _________.A. the director of an agencyB. the director of a schoolC. a business managerD. a columnist57. What Mrs. Douglas needs is _________.A. moneyB. to keep busyC. an easy lifeD. to talk with old people58.

Passage 1Americans in business are like people who are in business anywhere, they have a language of their own.One such thing is "get your act together". When things go wrong in a business, an employer may get angry, he may shout "get your act together". "Getting your act together" is getting organized. In business it usually means developing a calm and orderly plan of action. It is difficult to tell exactly where the saying began. But it is probable that it was in the theater or movie industry. Perhaps one of the actors was nervous and made a lot of mistakes. The director may have said "Calm down now, get your act together." Word expert James Roger says the expression was common by the late 1970s.Another expression used by American business people is "cut to the chase". For example, at an important meeting of one company, one official was giving a very long and uninteresting report and some people were falling asleep. Finally the president of the company said "Cut to the chase". "Cut to the chase" means stopping spending so much time on details or unimportant material, hurrying and getting to the good part. This saying was started by people who make movies. Hollywood movie producers believe that most Americans want to see action movies. Many of their movies show scenes in which the actors chase each other in cars or in airplanes or on foot. "Cut" is the director's word for stop. The director means stopping filming to leave some material and getting to the chase scene now.21.The passage is mainly about____________.A. American business worldB. movie languageC. American business languageD. American businessmen22.The expression "get your act together" probably came from _____________.A. schoolsB. the theater or movie industryC. political fieldD. language labs23.The expression "get your act together" was popular _____________.A. by the late 1970sB. by the early 1970sC. by the late 1980sD. by the early 1980s24.The expression "cut to the chase" means______________.A. calm down and focus on the best partB. stop filming the uninteresting partsC. develop a calm and orderly plan of actionD. stop wasting time on details or unimportant material, hurry and get to the good part25."Chase" is the movie director's word for ______________.A. stopB. action moviesC. scenes in which the actors chase each other in cars or in airplanes or on footD. unimportant materialPassage 2Background music may seem harmless, but it can have a powerful effect on those who hear it. Recorded background music first found its way into factories, shops and restaurants in the USA. Very soon it spread to other parts of the world. Now it is becoming difficult to go shopping or eat a meal without listening to background music.To begin with, background music was intended simply to create a soothing(舒适的) atmosphere. Recently, however, it's becoming a big business. An American marketing expert has shown that music can boost sales or increase factory production by as much as a third.But it has to be the light music. Lively music has no effect at all on sales.
