Especially after a rain, after a rain, there would appear a splendid and glamorous rainbow, which was like a great bridge hung in the sky. How I wished I had been an eagle soaring up to the bridge! I was obsessed with it. Grandma told me that in the heaven lived supernatural beings, and that it was the kind-hearted and well-behaved people who could step into the heaven through the rainbow. She taught me to be a good boy; then I would have a chance to walk on the rainbow some day.(2)It was a beautiful dream. Gradually, I grew up to be a high school student. However, I buried myself in lesson, exercises and even boring tests all day long. Day in and day out. Such a pressing routine has deprived me of my interest as well as my chance to gaze into the sky.(3)I n the summer of 1998,after finished the college entrance examination, I had time for relaxing myself at last. One day, shortly after a heavy thundershower, I opened the window and then pleasant smells of the earth greeted me. I couldn't help breathing deeply with my eyes closed. After some while, I opened my eyes satisfactorily. Just guess what I saw. The blue sky! Or rather the blue-gray sky. It seemed that I met an old friend, who had changed so much that I could hardly recognize him. I craned my head out to look for the rainbow of which I have a deep love. But to my disappointment, she didn't appear in the sky. Why could it be that!(4)Now, I come to understand it is the pollution that made the rainbow so strange to me and compelled her to be away from me. In the past few years, economic prosperity has been greatly promoted at the cost of air and environmental pollution. As result,while people are enjoying the prosperity, they are suffering a great deal from pollution. No wonder scientists say this is the revenge of nature! It is never too late to mend anyhow. Now more and more people have become coolly aware of its harmful consequences; and effective measures have been taken for anti-pollution. I believe that pollution will be able to disappear in the near future and our sky will be able to renew its bright blue as it used to.(5)L ast night, I dreamed a beautiful dream: I saw a rainbow that has been never seen for ages. Then I flew in the sky to the rainbow as If I had wings. When I landed on such a gorgeous bridge, all supernatural beings gave me a warm welcome...Rhetorical Devices used:Paragraph (1) _______________________________________________________Paragraph (2) _______________________________________________________Paragraph (3) _______________________________________________________Paragraph (4) _______________________________________________________Paragraph (5) _____________________________________________________BThe Olympic Aspiration of an Ordinary Chinese Farmer(1)T he Beijing's bid for the 2008 Olympics reflects the common aspiration of the 1.3 billion Chinese people. Apart from Beijing, every city of China has been launching a series of rich and varied supporting activities. However, the country folks are no less enthusiastic than the town people, and they have their own way. Comparatively speaking, the events in cities are tremendous in power and grandeur; while the activities in the countryside are like a gentle breeze and a mild rain. The earnest aspiration of rural resident for the Olympic bid can be mirrored just from an ordinary Chinese farmer my uncle, who is 68 years old, living ina small village about 100km east of Shijiazhuang, Hebei Privine.(2)During the week-long Labour Day holiday, I went to see him. I was very happy to find him hale and hearty. But nine years ago, he suffered from severe T.B. Ever since his recovery a year later, he has taken exercise: doing Taijiquan, kicking shuttlecock, especially having a long walk every morning at all seasons. His good health is attributed to his regular physical exercise, and he thus realize what an important role it plays in building up the health of a person as well as that of the whole nation.(3)Last year, when he heard the news on TV that Beijing decided to participate in the bid for hosting the 2008 Olympic Games, he felt quite excited and threw himself into fervent support. Since then, reading newspapers becomes a must every day. He has accumulated an intimate knowledge of the Olympics, such as its brief history, its creed, its motto,(4)My visit to him was turned into a sole conversation about the Olympics. After a comprehensive analysis, he told me that he has one gratification and one anxiety about the Beijing's bid. His gratification is that the Beijing's bid enjoys worldwide support, and most countries in the world favor Beijing as a host of the 2008 Summer Games. As to his anxiety, that is Paris and Toronto are the two most formidable rivals for Beijing. Over 90 per cent of all 123 IOC members have ever been to Paris, but only 40 per cent have been to Beijing. More unfavorably, the US congress created all sorts of obstacles in an attempt to block China's bidding wheel. "What does it matter if we meet some difficulties?" he said resolutely. " I am still confident of the final success.,, He expressed his hope that he would go to Beijing to watch the Games in 7 years.(5)Now, the rural areas have seen a steadily growing economy, The great majority of farmers enjoy a high standard of living. They know that the hosting of the Games will be a boost to the country's economic prosperity and tourism, and can bringthem a better life. At the same time, people from all over the world can get a good opportunity to see through sport a real China ——its honest and hospitable people, its ancient and splendid culture, its 300-year-old and vitalizing capital, its rural scenery, its historical sites, its scenic attraction...(6)The Beijing 2008 Summer Olympics is being longed for by all Chinese people from as high as state leaders to as country folks like my uncle.Rhetorical Devices used:Paragraph (1) _______________________________________________________Paragraph (2) _______________________________________________________Paragraph (3) _______________________________________________________Paragraph (4) _______________________________________________________Paragraph (5) _______________________________________________________Paragraph (6) _______________________________________________________CAn Unforgettable Trip(1)The train was cracking for Qinhuangdao --------- a beautiful city which I had been longing for, and which often appeared in my dreams. My thoughts had already flown out to the sea: the red sun shining in the sky, millions of shells and pebbles on the beach, lots of people playing in the water, and the waves breaking and foaming. With the dreamlike scene, smile crept up and stayed on my face. Four hours passed, and we arrived at our destination late at night.(2)We set out very early the next morning. Just several minutes later, the wind brought us the scent of the sea, and the sea greeted us. Jumping off the car, I ran wildly along the shore. I was amazed at the vast surface and the blue water, which were far more magnificent than I had imaged. Some birds were flying above and singing beautiful songs; A coupleof ships were sailing at a distance; the sea and the sky converged in the distance so that I couldn,t tell one from another. Throwing off my shoes, I stepped into the water ------------------------- w aves lightly patting my legs, gentle breeze kissing my checks,fresh air penetrating my lungs. I couldn't help shouting loudly to release my deep depression.(3)Just a month ago, I failed the postgraduate entrance exam against 3 points. God treated me so unfairly that I almost lost my confidence in the future. But now facing the vast sea , I felt how small I was, and how insignificant my personal gains and losses were. The grandeur of nature relaxed me a lot and gave me much inspiration. The world isn't as dismal as I thought. Before this I had only seen the dark side of the coin instead of both. It is true that I often met with troubles, but worries, troubles, even misfortune are not everything. Life is beautiful yet transient so that I shouldn,t sink into depression all the time. Instead, as a youth,I should embrace life and enjoy life. I once read a philosophical saying from a book : " Yesterday is an invalid check; tomorrow isa kind of deposit which can't be used; today is the money in front of you.^^ So I must value today and let yesterday go and let all gloominess go. Woken up from the meditation by gust of hailing, I found the sun jumping above sea, it lights made everything bright. I cried, " A new day is coming.^,(4)Now, I have learned to love life. I can find happiness and beauty from my surrounding: the bright sun, the blue sky, the green grass, the beautiful flowers, the singing bird, the smiling faces---all can bring me joy and satisfaction. Oh, an unforgettabletrip.Rhetorical Devices used:Paragraph (1) _______________________________________________________Paragraph (2) _______________________________________________________Paragraph (3) _______________________________________________________Paragraph (4) _______________________________________________________DSingers Shouldn't Earn More Than Composers(1)With the steady growth in the county's economy as well as the people's living standard, people attach more importance to the colorful cultural life. As a result, many pop stars rise to fame overnight, even making a huge fortune a year. On the other hand, the composers of popular songs that make these singers famous earn only a small fraction of what these " noted stars" earn. Recently, this phenomenon has aroused wide concern, and heated public debate has arisen.(2)The pains and gains of the so-called stars are not matched. One hour's performance may bring them thousand of yuan, while the composers are too far behind to catch up, so it is unfair and discouraging, Most of the composers, as we know, are musicians and experts in music who devote themselves to research and composition of knowledge. Singing stars are always the idols of youngsters. Many of them get rich quick without toil and sweat, thereby making youngsters disbelieve in the maxim " No pains, no gains,,; some of them even have an extravagant and wasteful way of living, which is tremendously tempting and misleading.(3)Of course, every thing has two faces. It goes without saying that the stars enrich people's entertainment and make our life colorful; anyhow, the bright side should not keep us from criticizing its dark one.(4)All in all, I should say that the pop stars do not deserve such high payment than composers do. The government should levy heavier income tax on these stars in order to narrow the gap between the income of so-called pop stars and that of composers.Rhetorical Devices used:Paragraph (1) _______________________________________________________Paragraph (2) _______________________________________________________Paragraph (3) _______________________________________________________Paragraph (4) _______________________________________________________《英语修辞》作业参考答案1.明喻引喻拟人平行通感矛盾修饰法提喻突降委婉语头韵隐喻对照移就隽语转喻层递低调陈述重复夸张元韵2.Metaphor Antithesis TransferredEpithet ParadoxMetonymy Climax Understatement Repetitio nHyperbole Assonance Simile Allusion Personification Parallelism Synaesthesia Oxymoron Synecdoche Anticlimax Euphemism AlliterationII.1.

For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. You should decide on the best choices and write the letter in the corresponding space on the ANSWER SHEET.Questions 1-5 are based on the following passage:The number of speakers of English in Shakespeare time is estimated to have been about five million. Today it is estimated that some 260 million people speak it as a native language, mainly, in the United States, Canada, Great Britain, Ireland, South Africa, Australia and New Zealand. In addition to the standard varieties of English found in these areas, there are a great many regional and social varieties of the language, as well as various levels of usage that are employed both in its spoken and written forms.It is virtually impossible to estimate the number of people in the world who has acquired an adequate working knowledge of English in addition to their own languages. The purposes for which …English is learned and the situations in which such learning takes place are so varied that it is difficult to define and still more difficult to assess what constituents an adequate working knowledge for each situation.The main reason for the widespread demand for English is its present-day importance as a world language. Besides serving the infinite needs of its native speakers, English is a language in which some of the most important works in science, technology, and other fields are being produced, and not always by native speakers. It is widely used for such purposes as meteorological and airport communications, international conferences, and the dissemination of information over the radio and television networks of many nations. It is a language of wider communication for a number of developing countries, especially former British colonies. Many of these countries have multi-lingual populations and need a language for internal communications in such matters as government, commerce, industry, law and education as well as for international communication and for access to《高级英语》课程试题【A】卷the scientific and technological developments in the West.1. According to the passage, what is the main reason for the widespread use of English?A. It was used in British colonies.B. It serves the needs of its native people.C. It is used for international communications.D. Many people have spoken English from Shakespeare‟s time.2. Which of the following statements is NOT true?A. It is hard to tell the number of people in the world who have adequate working knowledge of EnglishB. People learn English for a variety of reasons.C. About 260 million people in the world speak English as native language.D. Some five million people in E ngland in Shakespeare‟s time had adequate working knowledge ofEnglish.3. What is the adequate working knowledge of English?A. The capability to read.B. It is difficult to assess it, for it is different from situation to situation.C. Multi-lingual ability.D. That of native speakers.4. Apart from English-speaking countries, what kind of countries would be most likely to use English?A. Those close to Great Britain.B. Those interested in the culture of English speaking countries.C. Colonies of Great Britain.D. Those that have great demand for English as access to the world.5. What do you think is the best title for this passage?A. The varieties of EnglishB. English for CommunicationsC. English as a World Language西南大学课程考核(试题【A】卷)——————————————密————————————封————————————线——————————————D. Widespread demand for EnglishQuestions 6-10 are based on the following passage:Social customs and ways of behaving change. Things which were considered impolite many years ago are now acceptable. Just a few years ago, it was considered impolite behavior for a man to smoke on street. No man would think of smoking when a lady was in a room.Customs also differ from country to country. Does a man walk on the left or the right of a woman in your country? Or doesn‟t it matter? Should you use both hands when you are eating? Should y ou leave one in your lap, or on the table?The Americans and the British not only speak the same language but also share a large number of social customs. For example, in both America and England people shake hands when they meet each other for the first time. Also, most Englishmen will open a door for a woman or offer their seat to a woman, and so will most Americans. Promptness is important both in England and in America. That is , if a dinner invitation is for 7 o‟clock , the dinner guest either arrives close to that time or calls up to explain his delay.The important thing to remember about social customs is not to do anything that might make other people feel uncomfortable—especially if they are your guests. When the food was served, one of the guests started to eat his peas with a knife. The other guests were amused or shocked, but the host calmly picked up his knife and began eating in the same way. It would have been bad manners to make his guest feel foolish or uncomfortable.6. If one has accepted a dinner invitation, what should he do if he is too late for the dinner?A. He should find an excuse.B. He should ask for excuse.C. He should say sorry.D. He should telephone to explain his being late.7. “It would have been bad manners to make his guests feel foolish or uncomfortable.” “Bad manners” means _______.《高级英语》课程试题【A】卷A. uglyB. dishonestC. impoliteD. shameful8. Which of the following do you think is the best title for this passage?A. Social CustomsB. Social LifeC. American and British CustomsD. Promptness Is Important9. According to the text, the best host _________.A. tries his best to make his guests feel comfortableB. makes his guests feel excitedC. tries to avoid being naughty to his guestsD. tries to avoid being foolish10. The author of this article may agree with which of the following?A. The guest who ate his peas with a knife.B. The other guests who were amused or shocked.C. The host who picked up his knife and began eating in the same way.D. None of the above.Questions 11-15 are based on the following passage:The Leaning Tower of Pisa has defied (违背) the laws of gravity for seven and a half centuries. Every year, on June 19th, a professor from the University of Pisa climbs to the bell tower and measures the increase in the slant with special instruments. And every year the professor makes the same report, the tower has leaned a fraction of an inch more. Last summer, the 125 foot-high tower was leaning an incredible 15 feet out of line. Scientists say that unless a way is found to stop the tilt, the tower will collapse in less than 80 years.The tower is leaning because the soft subsoil of Pisa will not support it. Its foundation is sinking into the soil at an angle, causing the tower to lean. Since a tremor could shake the foundation loose, the ringing of the tower's bells was forbidden in 1959. Trucks are not allowed to pass in the neighborhood of the tower for this same reason.11. According to the passage, the Leaning Tower of Pisa has a history of _______ years.——————————————密————————————封————————————线——————————————A. 700 B. 750 C. 800 D. 50012. Truck traffic has been forbidden in the neighborhood of the tower ________.A. to protect the driversB. to prevent accidentsC. as a precaution against shaking tremorsD. because trucks damage the foundation13. The statement which best expresses the main idea of this passage is that ______________.A. the Leaning Tower of Pisa is in increasing danger of collapsingB. every year a professor measures the increase in the tower‟s slantC. the tower is leaning because the subsoil of Pisa will not support itD. there is only one way to save the Leaning Tower of Pisa14. It can be inferred from the passage that last summer the tower was found tilted further by _________.A. 15 feetB. a fraction of an inchC. more than one inchD. several inches15. This passage is mainly about ____________.A. the history of Pisa‟s tiltB. the cause of the tower's tiltC. a tower that leansD. a plan for saving the towerQuestions 16-20 are based on the following passage:There are two factors which determine an individual‟s intelligence. The first is the sort of brain he is born with. Human brains differ considerably, some being more capable than others. But no matter how good a brain he has to begin with, an individual will have a low order of intelligence unless he has opportunities to learn. So the second factor is what happens to the individual— the sort of environment in which he is reared. If an individual is handicapped environmentally, it is likely that his brain will fail to develop and he will never attain the level of intelligence of which he is capable.The importance of environment in determining an individual's intelligence can be demonstrated by the case history of the identical twins, Peter and Mark. Being identical, the twins had identical brains at birth, and their growth processes were the same. When the twins were three months old, their parents died, and they were placed in separate foster homes. Peter was reared by parents of low intelligence in an isolated community with poor educational opportunities. Mark was reared in the home of well-to-do parents who had been to college. He was read to as a child, sent to good schools, and given every opportunity to be stimulated intellectually. This environmental difference continued until the twins were in their late teens, when they were given tests to measure their intelligence. Mark‟s I.Q. was 125, twenty-five points higher than the average and fully forty points higher than his identical brother. Given equal opportunities, the twins, having identical brains, would have tested at roughly the same level.16. This selection can best be titled_________.A. Measuring Your IntelligenceB. Intelligence and EnvironmentC. The Case of Peter and MarkD. How the Brain Influences Intelligence17. The best statement of the main idea of this passage is that _______.A. human brains differ considerablyB. the brain a person is born with is important in determining his intelligenceC. environment is crucial in determining a person‟s intelligenceD. persons having identical brains will have roughly the same intelligence18. According to the passage, the average I.Q. is _______.A. 85B.100C. 110D.12519. The case history of the twins appears to support the conclusion that _________.A. individual with identical brains seldom test at same levelB. an individual‟s intelligence is determined only by his environmentC. lack of opportunity blocks the growth of intelligence——————————————密————————————封————————————线——————————————D. changes of environment produce changes in the structure of the brain20. This passage suggests that an individual‟s I.Q. ________.A. can be predicted at birthB. stays the same throughout his lifeC. can be increased by educationD. is determined by his childhoodQuestions 21-25 are based on the following passage:If we were asked exactly what we were doing a year ago, we should probably have to say that we could not remember. But if we had kept a book and had written in it an account of what we did each day, we should be able to give an answer to the question.It is the same in history. Many things have been forgotten because we do not have any written account of them. Sometimes men did keep a record of the most important happenings in their country, but often it was destroyed by fire or in a war. Sometimes there was never any written record at all because the people of that time and place did not know how to write. For example, we know a good deal about the people who lived in China 4,000 years ago, because they could write and leave written records for those who lived after them. But we know almost nothing about the people who lived even 200 years ago in central Africa, because they had not learned to write.Sometimes, of course, even if the people cannot write, they may know something of the past. They have heard about it from older people, and often songs and dances and stories have been made about the most important happenings, and these have been sung and acted and told for many generations. For most people are proud to tell what their fathers did in the past. This we may call “remembered history”. Some of it has now been written down. It is not so exact or so valuable to us as written history is, because words are much more easily changed when used again and again in speech than when copied in writing. But where there are no written records, such spoken stories are often very helpful.21. Which of the following ideas is not conveyed in the passage? ___________.A. “Remembered history”, compared with written history is less reliab leB. Written records of the past plays a most important role in our learning of the human historyC. a written account of our daily activities helps us to answer some questionsD. Where there are no written records, there is no history22. We know very little about the central Africa 200 years ago because ________.A. there was nothing worth being written down at that timeB. the people there ignored the importance of keeping a recordC. the written records were perhaps destroyed by a fireD. the people there had not known how to write23. “Remembered history” in Paragraph 3 refers to _________.A. history based on a person‟s imaginationB. stories of important happenings passed down from mouth to mouthC. Songs and dances about the most important eventsD. both B and C24. “Remembered history” is regarded as valuable only when __________.A. it is written downB. no written account is availableC. it proves to be trueD. people are interested in it25. It can be inferred from the passage that we could have learned much more about our past than we do now if our ancestors had _________.A. kept a written record of every past eventB. not burnt their written records in warsC. told exact stories of the most important happeningsD. mad more songs and dancesPart IV Blank Filling (10 % )Directions: In this part, there are 10 incomplete sentences and 10 phrases in the box.

1. A simile is a figure of speech comparing two unlike things (something is compared tosomething else), often introduced with the word "like" or "as". The two things compared must be dissimilar and the basis of resemblance is usually an abstract quality.2. A metaphor states that one thing is something else. It is a comparison, but it does NOT use“like” or “as” to make the comparison.3. Personification is a figure of speech that gives human form or feelings to animal, or life and personal attributes(特征) to inanimate (无生命的) objects or to ideas and abstractions.4. A transferred epithet, is a figure of speech where an epithet (an adjective or descriptive phrase) is transferred from the noun it should rightly modify to another to which it does not really belong.5. metonymy：a figure of speech that consists in using the name of one thing for that of something else with which it is associated6. Hyperbole: is a figure of speech which deliberately exaggerates truth. A way of describing something in order to make it sound bigger, smaller, better, worse etc than it really is.7. Oxymoron: is a compressed paradox, formed by the conjoining of two contrasting, contradictory terms8. Irony is a figure of speech that achieves emphasis by saying the opposite of what is meant, the intended meaning of the words being the opposite of their usual sense.9. Pun: also called paronomasia, is a form of word play which suggests two or more meanings, by exploiting multiple meanings of words, or of similar-sounding words, for an intendedhumorous or rhetorical effect.10. Analogy is also a form of comparison, but unlike simile or metaphor, which usually concentrates on one point of resemblance, analogy draws a parallel between two unlike things that have several common qualities or points of resemblance.11. euphemism: An indirect word or phrase that people often use to refer to sth. embarrassing or unpleasant, sometimes to make it seem more acceptable than it really is.12. Parallelism means that two or more similar ideas are expressed by similar grammatical forms. If these similar ideas are not expressed in identical grammatical forms, they are regarded as faulty parallelism.13.Antithesis: The rhetorical opposing or contrasting of ideas by means of grammatically paralleled arrangements of words, clauses or sentences…14.

Read the following passages and make an analysis of it with regard to the figures of speech employed and their functions. (30%)1．It (New York) has the poorest millionaires, the littlest great men, the haughtiest beggars, the plainest beauties, the lowest skyscrapers, the dolefulest pleasures of any town I ever saw. (0·Henry)2．From this nothing will turn us---nothing. We will never parley, we will never negotiate with Hitler or any of his gang. We shall fight him by land, we shall fight him by sea, we shall fight him in the air, until, with God’s help, we have rid the earth of his shadow and liberated its peoples from his yoke. Any man or state who fights on against Nazidom will have our aid. Any man or state who marches with Hitler is our foe…That is our policy and that is our declaration.（Winston Churchill）3．Five score years ago, a great American, in whose symbolic shadow we stand signed the Emancipation Proclamation. This momentous decreecame as a great beacon light of hope to millions of Negro slaves who had been seared in the flames of withering injustice. It came as a joyous daybreak to end the long night of captivity. But one hundred years later, we must face the tragic fact that the Negro is still not free. (Martin Luther King)4．We want our children to live in an America that isn’t burdened by debt, that isn’t weakened by inequality, that isn’t threatened by the destructive power of a warming planet. We want to pass on a country that’s safe and respected and admired around the world, a nation that is defended by the strongest military on earth and the best troops this –this world has ever known. But also a country that moves with confidence beyond this time of war, to shape a peace that is built on the promise of freedom and dignity for every human being.（Barack Hussein Obama II）。

At other crossroads, drivers have to go slow, but they do not actually have to stop unless, of course, there is something coming along the main road; and at still others, they do not have either to stop or to go slow, because they are themselves on the main road.Mr. Williams, who was always a very careful driver, was driving home from work one evening when he came to a crossroad. It had a “SLOW” sign. He slowed down when he came to the main road, looked both ways to see that nothing was coming, and then drove across without stopping completely.At once he heard a police whistle (口哨声), so he pulled into the side of the road and stopped. A policeman walked over to him with a notebook and a pen in his hand and said, “You didn‟t stop at that crossing.”“But the sign there doesn't say …STOP‟.” answered Mr. Williams, “It just says …SLOW‟, and I did go slow.”The policeman looked around him, and a look of surprise came over his face. Then he put his notebook and pen away, scratched (抓) his head and said, “Well，I'm in the wrong street！”51. Mr. Williams was driving ____ one evening.A. to a partyB. to his officeC. home after workD. to work from home52. When he was stopped by a policeman, he ____.A. was driving at a high speedB. was driving onto the main roadC. was going to stop his carD. was driving slowly53. Though slowly, Mr. Williams continued driving at the crossing because____ .A. he d idn't see any “STOP” sign thereB. he paid no attention to the traffic rulesC. he didn't have to stopD. he was eager to get home54. Looking round Mr. Williams, the policeman was surprised because____ .A. he met a mad manB. he realized that he himself was mistakenC. Mr. Williams dared to speak to him like thatD. Mr. Williams would not apologize to him55. Which of the following statements is true?A. Mr. Williams was a very careless driver.B. The policeman was in the wrong place.C. Mr. Williams did nothing wrong.D. both B and CPassage BFrom Monday until Friday most people are busy working or studying, but in the evenings and on weekends they are free to relax and enjoy themselves. Some watch TV or go to the movies; others take part in sports. It depends on individual interests. There are many different ways to spend our spare time.Almost everyone has some kinds of hobbies. It may be anything from collecting stamps to making model airplanes. Some hobbies are very expensive, but others don‟t cost anything at all. Some collections are worth a lot of money; others are valuable only to their owners.I know a man who has a coin collection worth several thousand dollars. A short time ago he bought a rare fifty cent piece worth $250! He was very happy about his buying and thought the price was reasonable. On the other hand, my youngest brother collects matchboxes. He has almost 600 of them but I doubt if they are worth any money. However, to my brother they are very valuable. Nothing makes him happier than to find a new matchbox for his collection.That‟s what a hobby means, I guess. It is something we like to do in our spare time simply for the fun of it. The value in dollars is not important, but the pleasure it gives us is.56. The underlined word “individual” in the first paragraph most probably means____ .A. differentB. strangeC. secretD. one's own57. In the writer's opinion, ____.A. all hobbies are very expensiveB. some hobbies don't cost anythingC. hobbies are worthlessD. hobbies are valuable to everybody58. Something that one enjoys doing in one's spare time is a____ .A. jobB. pleasureC. hobbyD. habit59. What is the writer‟s hobby?A. the article was not mentionedB. making model airplanesC. watching TVD. collecting stamps60. Which of the following statements is NOT true?A. The writer's brother has a large collection of matchboxes, which makes him very happy.B. We collect a subject in our spare time simply for the fun of it.C. The pleasure that a hobby can give is important.D. To have a hobby means to spend a lot of money.Passage CIf you ask some people, “How did you learn English so well?” you may get a surprising answer: “In my sleep!”These are people who have taken part in one of the recent experiments to test the learn while you sleep method (方法), which is now being tried in several countries, and with several subjects. English is among them.Scientists say that this sleep study method greatly speeds language learning. They say that the ordinary person can learn two or three times as much during sleep as in the same period during the day—and this does not affect (影响) his rest in any way. However, sleep teaching will only put into your head what you have studied already while you are awake.In one experiment, ten lessons were broadcast over the radio for two weeks. Each lesson lasted twelve hours — from 8 p.m. to 8 a.m. The first three hours of English grammar and vocabulary (词汇) were given with the students awake. At 11 p.m. a lullaby (催眠曲) was broadcast to send the student to sleep and for the next three hours the radio in a soft and low voice broadcast the lesson again into his sleeping ears. At 2 a.m. a sharp noise was sent over the radio to wake the sleeping student up for a few minutes to go over the lesson. The soft music sent him back to rest again while the radio went on. At 5 o‟clock his sleep ended and he had to go through the lesson again for three hours before breakfast.61. By the learn while you sleep method, one____.A. starts to learn a new lesson in sleepB. learns how to sleep betterC. is made to remember his lesson in sleepD. can listen to the radio broadcast while lying in bed62. In the experiment, lessons were given____.A. in the night timeB. after lullabies were broadcastC. while the student was awakeD. all through the twelve hours63. Before each lesson finishes, the student has to____.A. get up and take breakfastB. be woken up by a loud voiceC. listen to the lesson again in sleepD. review the lesson by himself64. The sleep study method is being tried in many countries to teach____.A. the English languageB. grammar and vocabularyC. a number of subjectsD. foreign languages65. How long was a lesson broadcast over the radio?A. two weeksB. twelve hoursC. three hoursD. five hoursPassage DIn choosing a friend, one should be very careful. A good friend can help you study. You can have fun together and make each other happy. Sometimes you will meet fair weather friends. They will be with you as long as you have money or luck, but when you are down, they will run away. How do I know when I have found a good friend?I look for certain qualities of character, especially understanding, honesty and reliability (可靠).Above all else, I look for understanding in a friend. A good friend tries to understand how another person is feeling. He is not quick to judge. Instead, he tries to learn from others. He puts himself in the other person's place, and he tries to think of ways to be helpful. He is also a good listener.At the same time, however, a good friend is honest. He does not look for faults (过错) in others. He notices their good points. In short, a friend will try to understand me and accept me.Another quality of a friend is reliability. I can always depend on a good friend. If he tells me he will meet me somewhere at a certain time, I can be sure that he will bethere. If I need a favor, he will do his best to help me. If I am in trouble, he will not run away from me.There is a fourth quality that makes a friend special. A special friend is someone with whom we can have fun. We should enjoy our lives, and we would enjoy our friendship. That is why I especially like friends who are fun to be with. A good friend likes the same things I like. We share experience and learn from each other. A good friend has a good sense of humor, too. He likes to laugh with me. That is how we share in the joy of being friends. And I know that he is looking for the same quality in me.When I meet someone who is reliable, honest, and understanding, I know I've found a friend!66. Which of the following qualities the writer thinks is the most important in choosing a friend?A. understanding.B. honesty.C. reliability.D. a sense of humor.67. If you have fair-weather friends, ______.A. they will give you all that they have when you need helpB. you will be refused when you get into troubleC. you will become richD. you can be sure that you get real friends68. Good friends need to ______.A. always point out each other's mistakesB. be helped with moneyC. understand each other's feelingsD. have money or luck69. a true friend is .A. understanding.B. honesty.C. reliability.D. above all70. This passage mainly discuss ______.A. the qualities of a friendB. where to choose friendsC. how to get along with friendsD. the importance of having a friendPassage EIn Canada you can find dogs, cats, horses, etc. in almost every family. These are their pets. People love these pets and have them as their good friends. Before they keep them in their houses, they take them to animal hospitals to give them injections(注射)so that they won't carry disease. They have special animal food stores, though they can get animal food in almost every kind of store. Some people spend around two hundred Canadian dollars a month on animal food. When you visit people's houses, they would be very glad to show you their pets and they are very proud of them. You will also find that almost every family has a feeding place for birds in their garden. All kinds of birds are welcomed to come and have a good meal. They are free to come and go and nobody is allowed to kill any animal in Canada. They have a law against killing wild animals. If you killed an animal, you would be punished. If an animal happened to get run over by a car, people would be very sad about it.People in Canada have many reasons to like animals. One of them might be that their family ties are not as close as ours. When children grow up, they leave their parents and start their own life. Then the old will feel lonely, but pets can solve this problem. They can be good friends and never leave them alone.71. People in Canada like .A. catsB. animalsC. birdsD. dogs72. The passage mainly talks about____.A. how to keep disease from petsB. pets in CanadaC. how to take good care of petsD. life of the old in Canada73. They give their pets injections before keeping them at their houses because ____.A. the pets are sickB. the pets are wildC. they want to stop them from getting sickD. they want them to sleep on the way home74. In Canada, children leave their parents when they grow up because ____.A. they don't love their parents any moreB. they can only find jobs far from their parentsC. their parents houses are too smallD. they wouldn't depend on their parents any more75. Which of the following is TRUE？A. People buy animal food only at the animal food stores.B. Pets eat better than people.C. Almost every family has a birdcage in his house.D. Any bird can come to the bird feeders to eat.五、书面表达（本大题满分25分，注意标点符号、大小写、单词拼写及书写格式）假如你是刘萍，有一年的导游经验，现在想找一份工作。
