Choose the one that you think is the best answer. Mark your answer on the Answer Sheet by drawing with a pencil a short bar across the corresponding letter in the brackets.Questions 11-15 are based on the following passage:The classroom is a man's world, where boys get two-thirds of the teachers' attention -- even when they are in a minority--taunt (辱骂) the girls without punishment, and receive praise for sloppy work that would not be tolerated from girls. They are accustomed to being teachers' pets, and if girls get anything like equal treatment, they will protest eagerly and even wreck lessons.These claims are made in a book out this week, written by Dale Spender, a lecturer at the London University Institute of Education. She argues that discrimination against girls is so deeply in co-educational schools that single-sex classes are the only answer.Her case is based on tape-recordings of her own and other teachers' lessons. Many of them, like Spender, had deliberately set out to give girls a fair chance. “Sometimes,” says Spender, “I have even thought I have gone too far and have spe nt more time with the girls than the boys.” The tapes proved otherwise. In 10 taped lessons (in secondary school and college), Spender never gave the girls more than 42 per cent of her attention (the average was 38 percent) and never gave the boys less than 58 percent. There were similar results for other teachers, both male and female.In other words, when teachers give girls more than a third of their time, they feel that they are cheating the boys of their rightful share. And so do the boys themselves. “She always asks the girls all the questions,” said one boy in a classroom where 34 per cent of the teachers' time was allocated to girls. “She doesn't like boys, and just listens to the girls.” said a boy in another class, where his sex got 63 per cent of teacher attention. Boys regarded two-thirds of the teacher's time as a fair deal —and when they got less they caused trouble in class and even complained to higher authority. “It's important to keep their attention,” said one teacher, “Otherwise, they play you up something awful.”Spender concludes that, in mixed classes, if the girls are as boisterous and pushy as the boys, they are considered “unladylike”, if they are docile and quiet, they are ignored.11. If boys are better treated in class, ____ would be better.A.single-sex classes and co-educational classesB.co-educational classesC.single-sex classesD.None of the above12. Dale Spender obtained the evidence for her claims by ____A.her own lessons in secondary school and collegeB.the other teachers' tape-recordingsC.both male and female teachersD.tape-recordings of her own and other teachers' lessons13. What are the boy's reactions when girls are given more attention?A.They will keep the teachers' attention again.B.They will make some trouble and complain to the headmaster.C.They will play up the teacher something awful.D.They will feel they are cheated by teachers.14. The word “boisterous” in the last paragraph probably means ____.A.roughB.braveC.troublesomeD.emotional15. The best title for this passage would be ____.A.boys are teachers' petsB.boys do better in co-educational classesC.single-sex classes are better than co-educational classesD.girls do better than boysQuestions 16-20 are based on the following passage:Sign has become a scientific hot button. Only in the past 20 years have specialists in language study realized that signed languages are unique -- a speech of the hand. They offer a new way to probe how the brain generates and understands language, and throw new light on an old scientific controversy: whether language, complete with grammar, is something that we are born with, or whether it is a learned behavior. The current interest in sign language has roots in the pioneering work of one rebel teacher at Gallaudet University in Washington, D.C., the world's only liberal arts university for deaf people.When Bill Stokoe went to Gallaudet to teach English, the school enrolled him in a course in signing. But Stokoe noticed something odd: among themselves, students signed differently from his classroom teacher. Stokoe had been taught a sort of gestural code, each movement of the hands representing a word in English. At the time, American Sign Language (ASL) was thought to be no more than a form of pidgin English (混杂英语 ). But Stokoe believed the "hand talk" his students used looked richer. He wondered: Might deaf people actually have a genuine language? And could that language be unlike any other on Earth? It was 1955, when even deaf people dismissed their signing as "substandard". Stokoe's idea was academic heresy (异端邪说 ).It is 37 years later. Stokoe -- now devoting his time to writing and editing books and journals and to producing video materials on ASL and the deaf culture - is having lunch at a caf6 near the Gallaudet campus and explaining how he started a revolution. For decades educators fought his idea that signed languages are natural languages like English, French and Japanese. They assumed language must be based on speech, the modulation (调节) of sound. But sign language is based on the movement of hands, the modulation of space."What I said," Stokoe explains, "is that language is not mouth stuff- it's brain stuff."16. The study of sign language is thought to be .A.an approach to simplifying the grammatical structure of a languageB.an attempt to clarify misunderstanding about the origin of languageC. a challenge to traditional views on the nature of languageD. a new way to took at the learning of language17. The present growing interest in sign language was stimulated by .A. a leading specialist in the study Of liberal artsB.an English teacher in a university for the deafC.Some senior experts in American Sign LanguageD. a famous Scholar in the study of the human brain18. According to Stokoe, sign language is .A.an international languageB. a substandard languageC.an artificial languageD. a genuine language19. Most educators objected to Stokoe's idea because they thought .A. a language should be easy to use and understandB.sign language was too artificial to be widely acceptedC. a language could only exist in the form of speech soundsD.sign language was not extensively used even by deaf people20. Stokoe's argument is based on his belief that .nguage is a product of the brainnguage is a system of meaningful codesC.sign language is derived from natural languageD.sign language is as efficient as any other languageQuestions 21-25 are based on the following passage:Every year 100 million holiday-makers are drawn to the Mediterranean. With one third of the world's tourist trade, it is the most popular of all the holiday destinations; it is also the most polluted. It has only 1 per cent of the world's sea surface, but carries more than half the oil and tar floating on the waters. Thousands of factories pour their poison into the Mediterranean, and almost every city, town and village on the coast sends its sewage, untreated, into the sea.The result is that the Mediterranean, which nurtured so many civilizations, is gravely ill—the first of the seas to fall victim to the abilities and attitudes that evolved around it. And the pollution does not merely keep back life of the sea—it threatens the people who inhabit and visit its shores.The mournful form of disease is caused by sewage. Eighty-five per cent of the waste from the Mediterranean's 120 coastal cities is pushed out in to the waters where their people and visitors bathe and fish. What is more, most cities just drop it in straight off the beach; rare indeed are the places like Cannes and Tel Aviv which pipe it even half a mile offshore.Not surprisingly, vast areas of the shallows are awash with bacteria and it doesn't take long for these to reach people. Professor William Brumfitt of the Royal Free Hospital once calculated that anyone who goes for a swim in the Mediterranean has a one in seven chance of getting some sort of disease. Other scientists say this is an overestimate; but almost all of them agree that bathers are at risk.Industry adds its own poisons. Factories cluster round the coastline, and even the most modern rarely hasproper waste treatment plant. They do as much damage to the sea as sewage. But the good news is that the countries of the Mediterranean have been coming together to work out how to save their common sea.21. The causes of the Mediterranean's pollution is ____.A.the oil and tar floating on the waterB.many factories put their poison into the seaC.untreated sewage from the factories and coastal citiesD.there are some sorts of diseases in the sea22. Which of following consequence of a polluted sea is not true according to the passage?A.Bring up so many civilizations.B.Various diseases in the sea.C.It threatens the inhabitants and travelers.D.One in seven chance of getting some sort of disease swimming in the sea.23. The word “sewage” refers to ____.A.poisonB.wasteC.liquid materialD.solid material24. Why does industry do much damage to the sea?A.Because most factories have proper waste treatment plants.B.Because many factories have not proper waste treatment plants even the most modern one.C.Because just the modern factory has a waste treatment plant.D.25. What is the passage mainly about?A.Save the world.B.How the people live in the Mediterranean sea.C.How the industry dangers the sea.D.Beware the dirty sea.Questions 26-30 are based on the following passage:Henry Ford, the famous U.S. inventor and car manufacturer, once said, "The business of America is business." By this he meant that the U.S. way of life is based on the values of the business world.Few would argue with Ford's statement. A brief glimpse at a daily newspaper vividly shows how much people in the United States think about business. For example, nearly every newspaper has a business section, in which the deals and projects, finances and management, stock prices and labor problems of corporations are reported daily. In addition, business news can appear in every other section. Most national news has an important financial aspect to it. Welfare, foreign aid, the federal budget, and the policies of the Federal Reserve Bank are all heavily affected by business. Moreover, business news appears in some of the unlikeliest places. The world of arts and entertainment is often referred to as "the entertainment industry" or "show business."The positive side of Henry Ford's statement can be seen in the prosperity that business has brought to U.S. life. One of the most important reasons so many people from all over the world come to live in the United States is the dream of a better job. Jobs are produced in abundance (大量地) because the U.S. economic system is driven by competition. People believe that this system crates more wealth, more jobs, and a materially better way of life.The negative side of Henry Ford's statement, however, can be seen when the word business is taken tomean big business. And the term big business -- referring to the biggest companies, is seen in opposition to labor. Throughout U.S. history working people have had to fight hard for higher wages, better working conditions, and the fight to form unions. Today, many of the old labor disputes are over, but there is still some employee anxiety. Downsizing ---- the laying off of thousands of workers to keep expenses low and profits high -- creates feelings of insecurity for many.26. The United States is a typical countryA.which encourages free trade at home and abroadB.where people's chief concern is how to make moneyC.where all businesses are managed scientificallyD.which normally works according to the federal budget27. The influence of business in the U.S. is evidenced by the fact thatA.most newspapers are run by big businessesB.even public organizations concentrate on working for profitsC.Americans of all professions know how to do businessD.even arts and entertainment are regarded as business28. According to the passage, immigrants choose to settle in the U.S., dreaming thatA.they can start profitable businesses thereB.they can be more competitive in businessC.they will make a fortune overnight thereD.they will find better chances of employment29. Henry Ford's statement can be taken negatively becauseA.working people are discouraged to fight for their fightsB.there are many industries controlled by a few big capitalistsC.there is a conflicting relationship between big corporations and laborD.public services are not run by the federal government30. A company's efforts to keep expenses low and profits high may result inA.reduction in the number of employeesB.improvement of working conditionsC.fewer disputes between labor and managementD. a rise in workers' wagesPart Three ClozeDirections:For each blank in the following passage, choose the best answer from the choices given below. Mark your answer on the Answer Sheet by drawing with a pencil a short bar across the corresponding letter in the brackets.The space age officially began on October 4, 1957, 31 the Soviet Union launched the modest 185 pound SputnikⅠ, the first artificial satellite to orbit the earth.

It was a lightweight, 18 pound craft, carrying not animals but sensitiveinstruments to study the 36 bands of energy in space known as the Van Allen radiation belts.

Paintings by Ruby, an Asian elephant who lived at the Phoenix Zoo in Arizona, sold for up to $5,000 in the late 1980s, said Dick George, a consultant with the zoo. "Ruby was about seven months old when she first came to the zoo", said George. "She lived with a goat and some chickens, but she didn"t have an elephant companion for a number ofyears. She spent a lot of time drawing in the dirt with a stick to make her days more stimulating. Her keeper bought her some art supplies". George said, ", Ruby was excited about painting right from the beginning". The elephants at the art academies in the Southeast Asia are taught to hold a paintbrush with the tip of their trunks.

A competitive personality is seen as important to success, especially in men. The development of social and political skills is also considered to be very important. To help Americans develop these other important skills, schools have added a large number of extracurricular(课程外)activities to daily life at school. This is especially tree of high schools and colleges and extends down into elementary schools as well. Athletics, frequently called "competitive sports", are perhaps the most important of these activities. Football, basketball, and baseball teams are seen as very important in teaching students, particularly boys, the "winning spirit". At times, athletic teams seem to become more important to some students and their parents than the academic programs offered by the schools.第16题Americans believe that education is ______.A.the only way to successB.the main purpose of the schoolsC.just like climbing laddersD.important to success第17题Which of the following is NOT mentioned as important to success?A.intellectual achievementpetitive personalityC.social backgroundsD.social and political skills第18题A variety of extracurricular activities are added in American schools ______.A.to help students climb the education ladderB.to enrich students" dull life at schoolC.to help students become more successful in later lifeD.to extend college education down into elementary schools第19题Athletic activities are designed ______.A.to make boys strongerB.to teach students winning spiritC.to develop students" social and political skillsD.to improve the academic programs第20题Which of the following can be the best title for this passage?cation and SuccessB.Extracurricular Activities at SchoolC.Athletic SportsD.Intellectual Achievement上一题下一题(21~25/共20题)阅读理解People once widely believed that intelligent life existed on Mars. The 19th-century discovery of what appeared to be geometric designs cut across the surface was taken as evidence. The lines were thought to have been a system of canals that had been built to irrigate the surface. It is now clear that "canals"—perhaps the most spectacular geologic features of Mars—are natural valleys where ancient rivers once flowed. Another fragmented idea concerns the planet"s seasonal changes in color. Once attributed to the rapid spread of some life-form, these shifts are nowknown to develop from the movement of fine dust in the atmosphere. By the close of the 20th century none of the many experiments conducted by spacecraft had ever found persuasive evidence of life. Nevertheless, speculation continued over the existence of some form of life, in either the present or the past. In 1996 scientists discovered organic compounds and minerals in a meteorite(陨石), consisting of Martian rock, that collided with Earth around 11,000 B.C. These compounds suggest that Mars may have been inhabited by organisms more than three billion years ago.第21题Why did people in the 19th century believe the existence of intelligent life on Mars?A.Because the surface of Mars seemed to be geometric.B.Because the lines were drawn across the surface of the planet.C.Because a system of canals was thought to be there.D.Because it was the Martians that built the canals.第22题The "canals" on Mars have proved to be ______ according to the passage.A.the minor geologic characteristic of MarsB.natural valleys on the surface of MarsC.rivers that have kept flowing since ancient timesD.a system that irrigates the whole surface第23题What were the Mars" seasonal changes in color believed to be?A.The natural changes on the planet.B.The seasonal cycles.C.The movement of some life form.D.The storm of dust in its atmosphere.第24题How is the 1996 discovery related to the possible existence of organisms on Mars?A.The meteorite containing organic compounds is part of Mars.B.A Martian rock struck Earth about 11,000 years ago.C.The organisms came back to life after the collision with Earth.D.The inhabiting organisms appeared more than three billion years ago.第25题How many arguments in this passage lead to the belief of the existence of life on Mars?A.Two.B.Three.C.Four.D.Five.上一题下一题(26~30/共20题)阅读理解Weather Forecast The following forecast shows for the listed cities the projected weather conditions and the expected range of temperatures from the afternoon high to the evening low. 图片第26题According to the forecast, ______.A.Kansas City will be warmer than TorontoB.temperatures will be the lowest in Seattle and MinneapolisC.the weather will be fine in most of the listed citiesD.more than half of the listed cities ore cloudy or rain likely第27题Among the following four cities, the difference between the afternoon high and the evening low is smallest in ______.A.Kansas CityB.MiamiC.AtlantaD.Seattle第28题Which of the following cities is closest m Miami in weather conditions?A.BostonB.AtlantaC.WashingtonD.Houston第29题The difference between the afternoon high and the evening low is greatest in ______.A.SeattleB.Los Angeless VegasD.Phoenix第30题The differences between the afternoon high and the evening low are the same in ______.A.Chicago, Dallas, Kansas City, and St. LouisB.Atlanta, San Francisco, New Orleans, and SeattleC.Cleveland, Dallas, St. Louis, and Washington,D.C.D.Pittsburg, Miami, Houston, and Boston上一题下一题(31~40/共10题)完型填空How much sleep does a person need?【B1】the physiological bases of the need for sleep remain conjectural(猜想), rendering conclusive answers to this question impossible, much evidence has been gathered on how much sleep people do in fact obtain. Perhaps the most important conclusion to be【B2】from this evidence is【B3】there is great variability among individuals in total sleep time. For adults,【B4】between six and nine hours of sleep as a nightly average is not unusual, and 7.5 hours probably best expresses the norm. Such norms, of course, forms inevitably vary with the criteria of sleep employed. The most【B5】and reliable figures on sleep time, including those cited here, come from studies in sleep laboratories, where EEG criteria are employed. 【B6】consistently has been associated with the varying amount, quality, and pattern of electrophysiologically defined sleep. The newborn infant may spend an average of about 16 hours of each 24-hour period in sleep,【B7】the sleep time drops sharply; by two years of age, it may【B8】from nine to 12 hours. Decreases to approximately six hours have been observed among the elderly. 【B9】will be discussed from below, EEG sleep studies haveindicated that sleep can be considered to consist of several different stages. Developmental changes in the relative proportion of sleep time【B10】in these sleep stages are as striking as age-related changes in total sleep time.第31题【B1】A.AsB.DespiteC.WhileD.Whether第32题【B2】A.arrivedB.benefitedC.drawnD.deprived第33题【B3】A.howB.whatC.whetherD.that第34题【B4】A.somethingB.nothingC.anythingD.everything第35题【B5】A.briefB.preciseC.correctD.concise第36题【B6】A.AgingB.YouthC.AgeD.Teenage第37题【B7】A.unlessB.howeverC.althoughD.even if第38题【B8】A.extendB.rangeC.alterD.rise第39题【B9】A.WhatB.ItC.ThatD.As第40题【B10】A.is spentB.are spentC.spentD.spending上一题下一题(1/10)完成对话第41题Student A: You are not from Britain, are you?

For each of them, there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. Choose the best one and mark your answer on the ANSWER SHEET with a single line through the center.Questions 11-15 are based on the following passage:Firefighters are often asked to speak to school and community groups about the importance of fire safety, particularly fire prevention and detection. Because smoke detectors reduce the risk of dying in a fire by half, firefighters often provide audiences with information on how to install these protective devices in their homes.Specifically, they tell them these things: A smoke detector should be placed on each floor of a home. While sleeping, people are in particular danger of an emergent fire, and there must be a detector outside each sleeping area. A good site for a detector would be a hallway that runs between living spaces and bedrooms.Because of the dead-air space that might be missed by hot air bouncing around above a fire, smoke detectors should be installed either on the ceiling at least four inches from the nearest wall, or high on a wall at least four, but no further than twelve, inches fromthe ceiling.Detectors should not be mounted near windows, entrances, or other places where drafts (过堂风) might direct the smoke away from the unit. Nor should they be placed in kitchens and garages, where cooking and gas fumes are likely to cause false alarms.11. One responsibility of a firefighter is to ______________.A. install smoke detectors in residents' homesB. check if smoke detectors are properly installedC. develop fire safety programs for schoolsD. speak to residents about how to prevent fires12. Compared with homes without smoke detectors, homes with them give their owners a 50% better chance of ____________.A. surviving a fireB.preventing a fireC. detecting a hidden fireD. not getting injured in a fire13.

"He had leukemia," his widow Carol Huesman said, "His heart—believe it or not—held out. His heart never gave up until the end, when it had to."Huesman got a heart transplant in 1978 at Stanford University. That was just 11 years after the world's first heart transplant was performed in South Africa. At his death, Huesman was listed as the world's longest survivor of a single transplanted heart both by Stanford and the Richmond, Virginia-based United Network for Organ Sharing."I'm a living proof of a person who can go through alife-threatening illness, have the operation and return to a productive life," Huesman told the Dayton Daily News in 2006.Huesman worked as marketing director at a sporting-goods store. He was found to have serious heart disease while in high school. His heart, attacked by a pneumonia (肺炎) virus, was almost four times its normal size from trying to pump blood with weakened muscles.Huesman's sister, Linda Huesman Lamb, also was stricken with the same problem and received a heart transplant in 1983. The two were the nation's first brother and sister heart transplant recipients. She died in 1991 at age 29.Huesman founded the Huesman Heart Foundation in Dayton, which seeks to reduce heart disease by educating children and offers a nursing scholarship in honor of his sister.21.

Huesman had to receive a heart transplant because ____________.A. he had an inherited heart diseaseB. he was born with heart disabilityC. his heart was infected by a virusD. his heart was injured in an accidentQuestions 26-30 are based on the following passage:Watch out! Here comes London Mayor Boris Johnson riding a bicycle from his new bike hire plan. "What we've put in is a new form of public transport. These bikes are going to belong to everybody."More than 12,000 people have signed up for the plan. They each receive a key at a cost of three pounds, with costs at one pound for a 24-hour membership, five pounds for seven days, and 45 pounds for an annual membership.John Payne, a London teacher who cycles a lot, is among the first to use the system. "It's very comfortable. For people who don't cycle much I think it'll be very useful. But for people who cycle regularly, they are possibly a bit slow. But they're perfect for London streets, very strong. I think they'll be very widely used."And Johnson says it's of good value. "I think it's extremely good value. The first half hour is free. If you cycle smart and you cycle around London--most journeys in London take less than half an hour, you can cycle the whole day free." Some 5,000 bikes are currently available at over 300 docking stations (租车点) in central London. Johnson says the city will gradually expand the system. "Clearly one of our ambitions is to make sure that in 2012 when the world comes to London, they will be able to use London hire bikes to go to the Olympic stadiums."26.

Choose the best one and mark your answer on the ANSWER SHEET with a single line through the center.I have been very lucky to have won the Nobel Prize twice.

She always dreamed of an _____ job even when she was ten years old.idealindirectabsoluteaidPart Two Reading ComprehensionDirections:In this part there are four passages followed by questions or unfinished statements, each with four suggested answers. Choose the one that you think is the best answer. Mark your answer on the Answer Sheet by drawing with a pencil a short bar across the corresponding letter in the brackets.Questions 11-15 are based on the following passage:The classroom is a man's world, where boys get two-thirds of the teachers' attention -- even when they are in a minority--taunt (辱骂) the girls without punishment, and receive praise for sloppy work that would not be tolerated from girls. They are accustomed to being teachers' pets, and if girls get anything like equal treatment, they will protest eagerly and even wreck lessons.These claims are made in a book out this week, written by Dale Spender, a lecturer at the London University Institute of Education. She argues that discrimination against girls is so deeply in co-educational schools that single-sex classes are the only answer.Her case is based on tape-recordings of her own and other teachers' lessons. Many of them, like Spender, had deliberately se t out to give girls a fair chance. “Sometimes,” says Spender, “I have even thought I have gone too far and have spent more time with the girls than the boys.” The tapes proved otherwise. In 10 taped lessons (in secondary school and college), Spender never gave the girls more than 42 per cent of her attention (the average was 38 percent) and never gave the boys less than 58 percent. There were similar results for other teachers, both male and female.In other words, when teachers give girls more than a third of their time, they feel that they are cheating the boys of their rightful share. And so do the boys themselves. “She always asks the girls all the questions,” said one boy in a classroom where 34 per cent of the teachers' time was allocated to girls. “She doesn't like boys, and just listens to the girls.” said a boy in another class, where his sex got63 per cent of teacher attention. Boys regarded two-thirds of the teacher's time as a fair deal — and when they got less they caused trouble in class and e ven complained to higher authority. “It's important to keep their attention,” said one teacher, “Otherwise, they play you up something awful.”Spender concludes that, in mixed classes, if the girls are as boisterous and pushy as the boys, they are conside red “unladylike”, if they are docile and quiet, they are ignored.11. If boys are better treated in class, ____ would be better.A.single-sex classes and co-educational classesB.co-educational classesC.single-sex classesD.None of the above12. Dale Spender obtained the evidence for her claims by ____A.her own lessons in secondary school and collegeB.the other teachers' tape-recordingsC.both male and female teachersD.tape-recordings of her own and other teachers' lessons13. What are the boy's reactions when girls are given more attention?A.They will keep the teachers' attention again.B.They will make some trouble and complain to the headmaster.C.They will play up the teacher something awful.D.They will feel they are cheated by teachers.14. The word “boisterous” in the last paragraph probably means ____.A.roughB.braveC.troublesomeD.emotional15. The best title for this passage would be ____.A.boys are teachers' petsB.boys do better in co-educational classesC.single-sex classes are better than co-educational classesD.girls do better than boysQuestions 16-20 are based on the following passage:Sign has become a scientific hot button. Only in the past 20 years have specialists in language study realized that signed languages are unique -- a speech of the hand. They offer a new way to probe how the brain generates and understands language, and throw new light on an old scientific controversy: whether language, complete with grammar, is something that we are born with, or whether it is a learned behavior. The current interest in sign language has roots in the pioneering work of one rebel teacher at Gallaudet University in Washington, D.C., the world's only liberal arts university for deaf people.When Bill Stokoe went to Gallaudet to teach English, the school enrolled him in a course in signing. But Stokoe noticed something odd: among themselves, students signed differently from his classroom teacher. Stokoe had been taught a sort of gestural code, each movement of the hands representing a word in English. At the time, American Sign Language (ASL) was thought to be nomore than a form of pidgin English (混杂英语). But Stokoe believed the "hand talk" his students used looked richer. He wondered: Might deaf people actually have a genuine language? And could that language be unlike any other on Earth? It was 1955, when even deaf people dismissed their signing as "substandard". Stokoe's idea was academic heresy (异端邪说).It is 37 years later. Stokoe -- now devoting his time to writing and editing books and journals and to producing video materials on ASL and the deaf culture - is having lunch at a caf6 near the Gallaudet campus and explaining how he started a revolution. For decades educators fought his idea that signed languages are natural languages like English, French and Japanese. They assumed language must be based on speech, the modulation (调节) of sound. But sign language is based on the movement of hands, the modulation of space. "What I said," Stokoe explains, "is that language is not mouth stuff- it's brain stuff."16. The study of sign language is thought to be .A.an approach to simplifying the grammatical structure of a languageB.an attempt to clarify misunderstanding about the origin of languageC. a challenge to traditional views on the nature of languageD. a new way to took at the learning of language17. The present growing interest in sign language was stimulated by .A. a leading specialist in the study Of liberal artsB.an English teacher in a university for the deafC.Some senior experts in American Sign LanguageD. a famous Scholar in the study of the human brain18. According to Stokoe, sign language is .A.an international languageB. a substandard languageC.an artificial languageD. a genuine language19. Most educators objected to Stokoe's idea because they thought .a language should be easy to use and understandsign language was too artificial to be widely accepteda language could only exist in the form of speech soundssign language was not extensively used even by deaf people20. Stokoe's argument is based on his belief that .language is a product of the brainlanguage is a system of meaningful codessign language is derived from natural languagesign language is as efficient as any other languageQuestions 21-25 are based on the following passage:Every year 100 million holiday-makers are drawn to the Mediterranean. With one third of the world's tourist trade, it is the most popular of all the holiday destinations; it is also the most polluted. It has only 1 per cent of the world's sea surface, but carries more than half the oil and tar floating on the waters. Thousands of factories pour their poison into the Mediterranean, and almost every city, town and village on the coast sends its sewage, untreated, into the sea.The result is that the Mediterranean, which nurtured so many civilizations, is gravely ill—the first of the seas to fall victim to the abilities and attitudes that evolved around it. And the pollution does not merely keep back life of the sea—it threatens the people who inhabit and visit its shores.The mournful form of disease is caused by sewage. Eighty-five per cent of the waste from the Mediterranean's 120 coastal cities is pushed out in to the waters where their people and visitors bathe and fish. What is more, most cities just drop it in straight off the beach; rare indeed are the places like Cannes and Tel Aviv which pipe it even half a mile offshore.Not surprisingly, vast areas of the shallows are awash with bacteria and it doesn't take long for these to reach people. Professor William Brumfitt of the Royal Free Hospital once calculated that anyone who goes for a swim in the Mediterranean has a one in seven chance of getting some sort of disease. Other scientists say this is an overestimate; but almost all of them agree that bathers are at risk. Industry adds its own poisons. Factories cluster round the coastline, and even the most modern rarely has proper waste treatment plant. They do as much damage to the sea as sewage. But the good news is that the countries of the Mediterranean have been coming together to work out how to save their common sea.21. The causes of the Mediterranean's pollution is ____.A.the oil and tar floating on the waterB.many factories put their poison into the seaC.untreated sewage from the factories and coastal citiesD.there are some sorts of diseases in the sea22. Which of following consequence of a polluted sea is not true according to the passage?A.Bring up so many civilizations.B.Various diseases in the sea.C.It threatens the inhabitants and travelers.D.One in seven chance of getting some sort of disease swimming in the sea.23. The word “sewage” refers to ____.A.poisonB.wasteC.liquid materialD.solid material24. Why does industry do much damage to the sea?A.Because most factories have proper waste treatment plants.B.Because many factories have not proper waste treatment plants even the most modern one.C.Because just the modern factory has a waste treatment plant.D.Because neither ordinary factories nor most moplants.25. What is the passage mainly about?A.Save the world.B.How the people live in the Mediterranean sea.C.How the industry dangers the sea.D.Beware the dirty sea.Questions 26-30 are based on the following passage:Henry Ford, the famous U.S. inventor and car manufacturer, once said, "The business of America is business." By this he meant that the U.S. way of life is based on the values of the business world.Few would argue with Ford's statement. A brief glimpse at a daily newspaper vividly shows how much people in the United States think about business. For example, nearly every newspaper has a business section, in which the deals and projects, finances and management, stock prices and labor problems of corporations are reported daily. In addition, business news can appear in every other section. Most national news has an important financial aspect to it. Welfare, foreign aid, the federal budget, and the policies of the Federal Reserve Bank are all heavily affected by business. Moreover, business news appears in some of the unlikeliest places. The world of arts and entertainment is often referred to as "the entertainment industry" or "show business."The positive side of Henry Ford's statement can be seen in the prosperity that business has brought to U.S. life. One of the most important reasons so many people from all over the world come to live in the United States is the dream of a better job. Jobs are produced in abundance (大量地) because the U.S. economic system is driven by competition. People believe that this system crates more wealth, more jobs, and a materially better way of life.The negative side of Henry Ford's statement, however, can be seen when the word business is taken to mean big business. And the term big business -- referring to the biggest companies, is seen in opposition to labor. Throughout U.S. history working people have had to fight hard for higher wages, better working conditions, and the fight to form unions. Today, many of the old labor disputes are over, but there is still some employee anxiety. Downsizing ---- the laying off of thousands of workers to keep expenses low and profits high -- creates feelings of insecurity for many.26. The United States is a typical countryA.which encourages free trade at home and abroadB.where people's chief concern is how to make moneyC.where all businesses are managed scientificallyD.which normally works according to the federal budget27. The influence of business in the U.S. is evidenced by the fact thatA.most newspapers are run by big businessesB.even public organizations concentrate on working for profitsC.Americans of all professions know how to do businessD.even arts and entertainment are regarded as business28. According to the passage, immigrants choose to settle in the U.S., dreaming thatA.they can start profitable businesses thereB.they can be more competitive in businessC.they will make a fortune overnight thereD.they will find better chances of employment29. Henry Ford's statement can be taken negatively because1.working people are discouraged to fight for their fights2.there are many industries controlled by a few big capitalists3.there is a conflicting relationship between big corporations and labor4.public services are not run by the federal government30. A company's efforts to keep expenses low and profits high may result inA.reduction in the number of employeesB.improvement of working conditionsC.fewer disputes between labor and managementD. a rise in workers' wagesPart Three ClozeDirections:For each blank in the following passage, choose the best answer from the choices given below.

Choose the one you think is the best answer. Mark your choice on the Answer Sh eet by drawing with a pencil a short bar across the corresponding letter in the brackets.Questions 11-15 are based on the following passage:Until recently the opportunities for criminal activities on the Internet have been low. However, th e volume of business done on the Internet is growing rapidly, as people order books and other produ cts and make money transactions. All this is creating temptations for hackers(黑客).Hackers are often young people who are interested in computers. They use them to move quietly to the Internet, looking for ways to break into computers systems run by banks, telephone companie s and even Government departments. They look for examples of credit cards and try to steal the nu mbers.Hackers rarely admit to a successful break-in. The first indication of a hacking may be when a cu stomer discovers a wrong money transaction on a credit card account. It is harder to check on someb ody misusing an online connection unless there is a massive download of information which would call the attention of the consumer.11. The main idea of the first paragraph is that ______.(A) the opportunities for criminal activities on the Internet have been low(B) the opportunities for criminal activities on the Internet are low(C) there are more opportunities for criminal activities on the Internet(D) people should not make money transactions on the Internet12. The word “temptations” in the first paragraph is closest in meaning to ______.(A) interests (B) attractions(C) benefits (D) profits13. In th e passage, it’s said that hackers may attack the Internet system of all the following instit utions except _____.(A) banks(B) telephone companies(C) universities(D) government departments14. Which of the following is not the reason for a hacking being found？(A) The customer found something wrong with his account.(B) There was a huge amount of information being downloaded.(C) There was a wrong money transaction.(D) The hacker proudly admitted his successful break-in.15. In the last sentence of the paragraph, “somebody” refers to a______.(A) customer(B) card user(C) hacker(D) bank clerkQuestions 16-20 are based on the following passage:For any Englishman, there can never be any discussion as to who is the world’s greatest writer. Only one name can possibly suggest itself to him: that of William Shakespeare(莎士比亚). Every Englishman has some knowledge of his work. All of us use words and phrases from Shakespeare’s writings that have become a part of the English-speaking people.Shakespeare, more perhaps than any other writer, made full use of the English language. Most of us use about five thousand words in our normal employment of English; Shakespeare in his works us ed about twenty-five thousand! There is probably no better way for a foreigner (or an Englishman!) to appreciate the richness and variety of the English language than by studying the various ways in whi ch Shakespeare uses it. Such a study is well worth the effort (it is not, of course, recommended to b eginners), even though some aspects of English usage, and the meaning of many words, have changed since Shakespeare’s day.16. From the first two sentences of the passage we can conclude that ________.(A) it can’t be discussed about who is the world’s greatest poet(B) it can’t be discussed about who is the world’s greatest dramatist(C) Shakespeare is regarded as a greatest writer(D) Englishmen like to discuss about who is the world’s greatest writer17. According to the passage many English words and phrases that we use today are from _____ _.(A) Englishmen (B) Shakespeare’s works(C) English speaking people (D) ancient people18. To learn the richness of the English language, people should ______.(A) read Shakespeare’s plays(B) learn from an English man(C) be glad to be a foreigner(D) write and read more19. The author does not suggest beginners reading Shakespeare’s plays, probably because _____.(A) the works are for native speakers(B) only Englishmen can understand his plays(C) the works are too difficult for a beginner(D) some of English usage and the meaning of many words have changed20. In this passage the author wants to _______.(A) show the richness of English language(B) tell how great a writer Shakespeare is(C) tell that some English words are out of use now(D) tell that some aspects of English usage have changed since Shakespeare's dayQuestions 21-25 are based on the following passage:Oxford and Cambridge differ from the rest of the universities in Great Britain in many important respects, but resemble each other quite closely.Oxford was founded in the 12th century. There are at present 35 colleges: three are for women only and the rest take both men and women. There are at present approximately 9,400 students in r esidence, of whom over a third are women. The city of Oxford is popular with tourists because of th e University's many beautiful medieval buildings.Cambridge was founded in the 13th century. There are at present 28 colleges, of which only one is for men students only and two for women only. The remaining 25 take both men and women.

The passage is mainly about the _____.(A) history of two famous universities in Britain(B) comparison between Oxford and Cambridge(C) number of students at Oxford and Cambridge(D) introduction of colleges at Oxford and CambrdgeQuestions 26-30 are based on the following passage:The growth of Liu Yongxing’s animal-feed business has made him China’s richest man, according t o rankings published recently by Forbes magazine. With an estimated net worth of US$1 billion, the 5 3-year-old entrepreneur and his Shanghai-based Hope Group are symbols of the new China.But Forbes’ list of the 100 richest individuals in China also illustrates the growing income inequalit y here that alarms some officials. The Forbes survey found that the 100 richest people in China had a combined net worth of US$18 billion in the year ended September 30. That’s small change by US s tandards: The most recent Forbes ranking of global billionaires put the net worth of Bill Gates alone a t more than US$58 billion. But what’s remarkable about China’s wealth numbers is how fast they’re ri sing. The wealth of the top 50 on this year’s China list jumped 40 per cent, to US$14 billion, from U S$10 billion last year despite a global economic slump.26. The richest man in China acquired his wealth _____.(A) in the animal feed business(B) in America(C) from Forbes magazine(D) from his ancestors27.

Choose the one that you think is the best answer. Mark your answer on the Answer Sheet by drawing with a pencil a short bar across the corresponding letter in the brackets.Questions 11-15 are based on the following passage:The classroom is a man's world, where boys get two-thirds of the teachers' attention -- even when they are in a minority--taunt (辱骂) the girls without punishment, and receive praise for sloppy work that would not be tolerated from girls. They are accustomed to being teachers' pets, and if girls get anything like equal treatment, they will protest eagerly and even wreck lessons.These claims are made in a book out this week, written by Dale Spender, a lecturer at the London University Institute of Education. She argues that discrimination against girls is so deeply in co-educational schools that single-sex classes are the only answer.Her case is based on tape-recordings of her own and other teachers' lessons. Many of them, like Spender, had deliberately set out to give girls a fair chance. “Sometimes,” says Spender, “I have even thou ght I have gone too far and have spent more time with the girls than the boys.” The tapes proved otherwise. In 10 taped lessons (in secondary school and college), Spender never gave the girls more than 42 per cent of her attention (the average was 38 percent) and never gave the boys less than 58 percent. There were similar results for other teachers, both male and female.In other words, when teachers give girls more than a third of their time, they feel that they are cheating the boys of their rightful sh are. And so do the boys themselves. “She always asks the girls all the questions,” said one boy in a classroom where 34 per cent of the teachers' time was allocated to girls. “She doesn't like boys, and just listens to the girls.” said a boy in another cla ss, where his sex got 63 per cent of teacher attention. Boys regarded two-thirds of the teacher's time as a fair deal — andwhen they got less they caused trouble in class and even complained to higher authority. “It's important to keep their attention,” said one teacher, “Otherwise, they play you up something awful.”Spender concludes that, in mixed classes, if the girls are as boisterous and pushy as the boys, they are considered “unladylike”, if they are docile and quiet, they are ignored.11. If boys are better treated in class, ____ would be better.A.single-sex classes and co-educational classesB.co-educational classesC.single-sex classesD.None of the above12. Dale Spender obtained the evidence for her claims by ____A.her own lessons in secondary school and collegeB.the other teachers' tape-recordingsC.both male and female teachersD.tape-recordings of her own and other teachers' lessons13. What are the boy's reactions when girls are given more attention?A.They will keep the teachers' attention again.B.They will make some trouble and complain to the headmaster.C.They will play up the teacher something awful.D.They will feel they are cheated by teachers.14. The word “boisterous” in the last paragraph probably means ____.A.roughB.braveC.troublesomeD.emotional15. The best title for this passage would be ____.A.boys are teachers' petsB.boys do better in co-educational classesC.single-sex classes are better than co-educational classesD.girls do better than boysQuestions 16-20 are based on the following passage:Sign has become a scientific hot button. Only in the past 20 years have specialists in language study realized that signed languages are unique -- a speech of the hand. They offer a new way to probe how the brain generates and understands language, and throw new light on an old scientific controversy: whether language, complete with grammar, is something that we are born with, or whether it is a learned behavior. The current interest in sign language has roots in the pioneering work of one rebel teacher at Gallaudet University in Washington, D.C., the world's only liberal arts university for deaf people.When Bill Stokoe went to Gallaudet to teach English, the school enrolled him in a course in signing. But Stokoe noticed something odd: among themselves, students signed differently from his classroom teacher. Stokoe had been taught a sort of gestural code, each movement of the hands representing a word in English. At the time, American Sign Language (ASL) was thought to be no more than a form of pidgin English (混杂英语). But Stokoe believed the "hand talk" his students used looked richer. He wondered: Might deaf people actually have a genuine language? And could thatlanguage be unlike any other on Earth? It was 1955, when even deaf people dismissed their signing as "substandard". Stokoe's idea was academic heresy (异端邪说).It is 37 years later. Stokoe -- now devoting his time to writing and editing books and journals and to producing video materials on ASL and the deaf culture - is having lunch at a caf6 near the Gallaudet campus and explaining how he started a revolution. For decades educators fought his idea that signed languages are natural languages like English, French and Japanese. They assumed language must be based on speech, the modulation (调节) of sound. But sign language is based on the movement of hands, the modulation of space. "What I said," Stokoe explains, "is that language is not mouth stuff- it's brain stuff."16. The study of sign language is thought to be .A.an approach to simplifying the grammatical structure of a languageB.an attempt to clarify misunderstanding about the origin of languageC. a challenge to traditional views on the nature of languageD. a new way to took at the learning of language17. The present growing interest in sign language was stimulated by .A. a leading specialist in the study Of liberal artsB.an English teacher in a university for the deafC.Some senior experts in American Sign LanguageD. a famous Scholar in the study of the human brain18. According to Stokoe, sign language is .A.an international languageB. a substandard languageC.an artificial languageD. a genuine language19. Most educators objected to Stokoe's idea because they thought .a language should be easy to use and understandsign language was too artificial to be widely accepteda language could only exist in the form of speech soundssign language was not extensively used even by deaf people20. Stokoe's argument is based on his belief that .language is a product of the brainlanguage is a system of meaningful codessign language is derived from natural languagesign language is as efficient as any other languageQuestions 21-25 are based on the following passage:Every year 100 million holiday-makers are drawn to the Mediterranean. With one third of the world's tourist trade, it is the most popular of all the holiday destinations; it is also the most polluted. It has only 1 per cent of the world's sea surface, but carries more than half the oil and tar floating on the waters. Thousands of factories pour their poison into the Mediterranean, and almost every city, town and village on the coast sends its sewage, untreated, into the sea.The result is that the Mediterranean, which nurtured so many civilizations, is gravely ill—the first of the seas to fall victim to the abilities and attitudes that evolved around it. And the pollution does not merely keep back life of the sea—it threatens the people who inhabit and visit its shores.The mournful form of disease is caused by sewage. Eighty-five per cent of the waste from the Mediterranean's 120 coastal cities is pushed out in to the waters where their people and visitors bathe and fish. What is more, most cities just drop it in straight off the beach; rare indeed are the places like Cannes and Tel Aviv which pipe it even half a mile offshore.Not surprisingly, vast areas of the shallows are awash with bacteria and it doesn't take long for these to reach people. Professor William Brumfitt of the Royal Free Hospital once calculated that anyone who goes for a swim in the Mediterranean has a one in seven chance of getting some sort of disease. Other scientists say this is an overestimate; but almost all of them agree that bathers are at risk. Industry adds its own poisons. Factories cluster round the coastline, and even the most modern rarely has proper waste treatment plant. They do as much damage to the sea as sewage. But the good news is that the countries of the Mediterranean have been coming together to work out how to save their common sea.21. The causes of the Mediterranean's pollution is ____.A.the oil and tar floating on the waterB.many factories put their poison into the seaC.untreated sewage from the factories and coastal citiesD.there are some sorts of diseases in the sea22. Which of following consequence of a polluted sea is not true according to the passage?A.Bring up so many civilizations.B.Various diseases in the sea.C.It threatens the inhabitants and travelers.D.One in seven chance of getting some sort of disease swimming in the sea.23. The word “sewage” refers to ____.A.poisonB.wasteC.liquid materialD.solid material24. Why does industry do much damage to the sea?A.Because most factories have proper waste treatment plants.B.Because many factories have not proper waste treatment plants even the most modern one.C.Because just the modern factory has a waste treatment plant.D.plants.25. What is the passage mainly about?A.Save the world.B.How the people live in the Mediterranean sea.C.How the industry dangers the sea.D.Beware the dirty sea.Questions 26-30 are based on the following passage:Henry Ford, the famous U.S. inventor and car manufacturer, once said, "The business of America is business." By this he meant that the U.S. way of life is based on the values of the business world.Few would argue with Ford's statement. A brief glimpse at a daily newspaper vividly shows how much people in the United States think about business. For example, nearly every newspaper has abusiness section, in which the deals and projects, finances and management, stock prices and labor problems of corporations are reported daily. In addition, business news can appear in every other section. Most national news has an important financial aspect to it. Welfare, foreign aid, the federal budget, and the policies of the Federal Reserve Bank are all heavily affected by business. Moreover, business news appears in some of the unlikeliest places. The world of arts and entertainment is often referred to as "the entertainment industry" or "show business."The positive side of Henry Ford's statement can be seen in the prosperity that business has brought to U.S. life. One of the most important reasons so many people from all over the world come to live in the United States is the dream of a better job. Jobs are produced in abundance (大量地) because the U.S. economic system is driven by competition. People believe that this system crates more wealth, more jobs, and a materially better way of life.The negative side of Henry Ford's statement, however, can be seen when the word business is taken to mean big business. And the term big business -- referring to the biggest companies, is seen in opposition to labor. Throughout U.S. history working people have had to fight hard for higher wages, better working conditions, and the fight to form unions. Today, many of the old labor disputes are over, but there is still some employee anxiety. Downsizing ---- the laying off of thousands of workers to keep expenses low and profits high -- creates feelings of insecurity for many.26. The United States is a typical countryA.which encourages free trade at home and abroadB.where people's chief concern is how to make moneyC.where all businesses are managed scientificallyD.which normally works according to the federal budget27. The influence of business in the U.S. is evidenced by the fact thatA.most newspapers are run by big businessesB.even public organizations concentrate on working for profitsC.Americans of all professions know how to do businessD.even arts and entertainment are regarded as business28. According to the passage, immigrants choose to settle in the U.S., dreaming thatA.they can start profitable businesses thereB.they can be more competitive in businessC.they will make a fortune overnight thereD.they will find better chances of employment29. Henry Ford's statement can be taken negatively because1.working people are discouraged to fight for their fights2.there are many industries controlled by a few big capitalists3.there is a conflicting relationship between big corporations and labor4.public services are not run by the federal government30. A company's efforts to keep expenses low and profits high may result inA.reduction in the number of employeesB.improvement of working conditionsC.fewer disputes between labor and managementD. a rise in workers' wagesPart Three ClozeDirections:For each blank in the following passage, choose the best answer from the choices given below.

But the satellite itself orbited the earth for 162 days and 34on reentering the earth’s atmosphere.The United States, playing second fiddle(小提琴) to its superpower 35, orbited its first satellite, Explorer 1, on January 31,1958 . It was a lightweight, 18 pound craft, carrying not animals but sensitive instruments to study the 36 bands of energy in space known as the Van Allen radiation belts. Within 37 fifteen years man had gone to the moon, searching beneath its dry and dusty soil for 38 of life (there were not), and begun probing more distant 39 of the solar system?
