(30’)AWhen God made the first man, he put him on a beautiful garden, the Garden of Eden. Here Adam lived din peace with all the animals. God gave Adam eternal (永恒的) life. But Adam was lonely in the garden, so God made Eve. When Adam was asleep one night, God took a rib (肋骨) from him and made Eve, the first woman. Adam was happy when he woke up the next morning and found Eve beside him. God said to them, “Here in theGarden you have everything. But you cannot have one thing: you cannot eat the apples from the Tree of Knowledge.”One day Satan came to the Garden. He changed into a snake and went to live in the Tree of Knowledge. When Eve came near the tree one day, the snake called her.He gave her and apple and said, “Take this apple and eat it. Don’t listen to the God. Eat it.” After Eve took a bite, she took the apple to Adam. He was afraid, but Eve repeated again and again: It’s good. Here, eat it. Why not? So h e finally ate the apple.Before they ate the apple, Adam and Eve didn’t know that they were naked (裸体的). But now they were ashamed and covered their bodies with leaves. God was angry with them. He said, “Leave the Garden. You cannot stay here.”When Adam and Eve left the garden, they had their first experience of pain and hard work in the cold hard world outside.36. God put Adam in a beautiful garden where he lived ___C____.A. peacefully with other peopleB. happily with all the animalsC. by himself without any other peopleD. eternally37.

Its neighbors are Canada to the north, and Mexico to the south.When this land first became a nation, after winning its independence from England, it had thirteen states. Each of the states was represented (代表) of the American flag by a star. All these states were in the eastern part of the continent. As the nation grew toward the west, new states were added and new stars appeared on the flag. For a long time, there were 48 states. In 1959, however, two more stars were added to the flag, representing the new states of Alaska and Hawaii. Indians were the first inhabitants (居民) of the land which is now the United States. There are still many thousands of the descendants (后代) of these original inhabitants living in all parts of the country. Sometimes it is said that the Indians are “the only real Americans.”Most Americans, however, are descendants of people who came from all over the world to find a new life in a new land. Those who came first and in greatest numbers to make their homes on the eastern coast of North America were mostly from England. It is for that reason that the language of the United States is English and that its culture and customs are more like those of England than of any other country in the world.41. What countries are neighbors of the United States? DA. CanadaB. EnglandC. MexicoD. Both A and C42. At the beginning there were __ D____ states, but now there are _____ states.A. 30, 50B. 43, 48C. 30, 52D. 13, 5043. The states are represented on the American flag by __C_____.A. sunsB. moonsC. starsD. earths44. The first inhabitants of American were __C___.A. the English peopleB. people from all over the worldC. the American IndiansD. the Americans45. The customs and culture of the United States are more like those of England than of any other country because __ D___.A. the language of the United States is EnglishB. the American were the first inhabitants of North AmericaC. people from other countries did not come to America.D. the early immigrants who came to America were mostly from England.CThere was a time when, if a lady got into a crowded bus or train, a gentleman would immediately stand up and offer her his seat. Today a gentleman will probably look out of he window or hide behind his newspaper. Either way, the lady will have to stand until someone gets off.You can’t entirely blame men for this change in manners. The days are gone when women could be treated as the weaker sex. A whole generation of women has grown up demanding equality with men; not just equality in jobs or education, but in social attitudes. Hold a door open for some w omen and you’re likely to get an angry lecture on treating women as inferiors, unable to open doors for themselves.Take a girl out for a meal and she’ll probably insist on paying her share of the bill.It’s no wonder, then, that men have given up some of the gestures of politeness and consideration which they used to show towards women. On the other hand, man’s politeness is perhaps slowly being replaced by true consideration for the needs and feelings of women, so that men can see women as equal human beings.46.What do gentlemen now do when a lady gets on a crowded bus or train? CA. They will stand up reluctantlyB. They will offer her their seats after a whileC. They will pretend not to see herD. They will get off the bus47.Which of the following statements is true? DA. Men have become less and less polite to women.B The women are thought of as the weaker sex.C. The women could not open doors for themselves.D. Men’s attitudes towards women are reasonable.48. Why are some women likely to get angry when a man holds the door open for them? BA. Because the man should not hold the door open.B. Because they think they are looked down upon.C. Because they are treated too politely.D. Because men often offend women in this manner.49. What is re placing men’s gestures of politeness?BA. More graceful politeness towards women.B. More consideration for women’s needs and feelingsC. More equal treatment to women in every respect.D. More impolite gestures of social behavior to women.50.What can we learn from this passage? DA. Men ought to make gestures of politeness towards women.B. Women ought to make gestures of politeness towards menC. Women have achieved equality with men.D. Men are beginning to treat women as equal human beings.V. Translation. (15’)1. 去看芭蕾舞 (ballet) 对她来说真是一件乐事！It's a great treat for her to go to the ballet.2. 史密斯先生和他的妻子刚从美国回来。

Her most popular novel, “Pride and Prejudice”, described Elizabeth Bennett and her search for romance through a world of balls, dinners and endless social rules. Here the following helps you enter into Austen’s high society.1. Coming outGirls were treated as children until 18, when they “came out”. Parents took their daughters from their country homes to London. There, these young ladies from noble families were presented to the queen during the biggest ball of the season at Buckingham Palace. This was their official entrance into society. Afterwards, they attended balls, dinners and parties in London. The girls met the important people in London society and, especially, searched for a suitable husband.2. DancesFamilies of unmarried young women often hosted dances at their homes and invited others of the same social class—particularly single young men. At the dance, each eligible girl had a dance card. If a young man wanted to dance with a girl, he approached her and asked to sign her card. A proper girl did not dance with one man for more than three songs in a row.3. Paying callsDuring Au sten’s time, there were strict rules about how, when, and why to visit friends and neighbors. To express condolences over the death of a friend’s family member or offer congratulations for an award, a visitor was required to wait a week after the event before visiting. Meanwhile, a party guest must visit and thank the hostess within the week after attending a party. Guests would be considered rude if they waited for more than two weeks to visit. Visits were supposed to last only 20 minutes to half an hour.36. Which of the following indicates girls’ official entrance into society?________A) They were 18.B) Their parents took them from their country homes to London.C) They found a suitable husband.D) In the biggest ball of the season at Buckingham Palace, they were presented to the queen.37. What does the author probably mean by “eligible” in the third paragraph?________A) Suited. B) Qualified. C) Suitable. D) Appropriate.38. As a rule, when should a party guest visit and thank the hostess after attending aparty?________A) Within the week after the event. B) More than two weeks.C) Within two weeks. D) Any time that he or she likes.39. In the writer’s opinion, ________.A) the British people were friendlyB) the British social rules in high society were strictC) the British parents were strict with their daughtersD) the British girls were very practical40. What would be the most appropriate title for this passage?________A) Austen’s Time.B) The British People.C) Good Manners in High Society. D) Strict Social Rules.Questions 41 to 45 are based on the following passage.Halloween (October 31) is a holiday widely celebrated with different names in many countries. Although it originated as a religious holiday, it has lost its religious connections in the United States. It is now celebrated largely as a children’s day, and many American children look forward to it for days and weeks beforehand. The orange pumpkin is harvested at this time of year and is hollowed out, a funny face cut into it, and a candle placed inside as a decoration in the window. City folks, nowadays, sometimes use paper pumpkins for decorations.Some years ago, the holiday was celebrated by dressing up in strange and frightening costumes and playing tricks on one’s neighbors and friends, such as ringing doorbells, throwing bits of corn on the window panes, and in other ways making minor disturbances. More recently, children come to the door to have friends and neighbors admire their costumes and guess who they are behind the false faces and receive treats of candies, fruits or cookies. They say, “Trick or Treat”, which means “I will play a trick on you if you do not give me a treat.”This practice has even more recently developed into a significant international activity. Instead of candies, the children collect money for UNICEF (United Nations International Children’s Emergency Fund). This special collection of money by children for needy children throughout the world is known as “UNICEF Trick of Treat”. Although it has begun only recently, it results in several million dollars each year contributed to UNICEF. The collection box is orange, reminiscent of the pumpkin.41. In history, Halloween was once a ______ day.A) children’s B) national C) religious D) international42. Which of the following is mentioned about how children celebrated the holiday some yearsago?________A) Making up in peculiar and horrifying costumes.B) Playing jokes on neighbors or friends.C) Ringing door bells.D) All of the above.43. What kind of treats will children not receive on October 31?________A) Candies. B) Fruits. C) Cookies. D) Chocolates.44. Why do children collect money to celebrate the holiday?________A) They need pocket money.B) They can use the money to buy whatever they like.C) They can help those children who need money in the whole world.D) What they did in the past have bored them.45. From the passage, we know that ________.A) to some degree, Halloween has not been the American own holiday and its influence will be greaterand greaterB) Halloween will become the most important holiday for the American peopleC) more and more parents will take part in the celebration of this holidayD) it will be celebrated by all the people around the worldQuestions 46 to 50 are based on the following passage.In the United States, it is not customary to telephone someone very early in the morning. If you telephone him early in the day, while he is shaving or having breakfast, the time of the call shows that the matter is very important and requires immediate attention. The same meaning is attached to telephone calls made after 11:00 p.m. If someone receives a call during sleeping hours, he assumes it’s a matter of life or death. The time chosen for the call communicates its importance.In social life, time plays a very important part. In the U.S.A., guests tend to feel they are not highly regarded if the invitation to a dinner party is extended only three or four days before the party date. But it is not true in all countries. In other areas of the world, it may be considered foolish to make an appointment too far in advance because plans which are made for a date more than a week away tend to be forgotten.The meaning of time differs in different parts of the world. Thus, misunderstandings arise between people from cultures that treat time differently. Promptness is valued highly in American life, for example. If people are not prompt, they may be regarded as impolite or not fully responsible. In the U.S., no one would think of keeping a business associate waiting for an hour, which would be too impolite. A person, who is 5 minutes late, will say a few words of explanation, though perhaps he will not complete the sentence.46. The author’s main purpose of the passage is to ______.A) emphasize the importance of time in American social customsB) tell us time and tide waits for no manC) teach us how to get on well with the American peopleD) introduce the personal relationship among the American people47. Generally speaking, when is it proper for you to call someone?________A) Very early in the morning. B) After 11 p.m.C) Sleeping hours. D) Neither very early in the morning nor after 11 p.m. 48.

Anyone then could read in the newspapers about the building companies who offered to put people into a new house 51 only a $1,000 deposit. Of course, the remainder had to be paid off with interest over a period of twenty years or so.The worker and his wife hopefully went to one of these companies 52 this wonderful offer. And the man in the office said. “Yes, sure. You bring along $1,000 and we can 53 you with a new house.”So the worker and his wife had to work hard and in twelve months’ time they returned to the building man with $1,000. But the man in the office said, “Look, I’m sorry, 54 we’ll need $1,500 now. Costs have gone up since we saw you last, you know.”The couple thought it over and decided it would not take very long to save the extra $500 if they worked hard.In six moths they worked 55 overtime and saved the $500 in spite of the high rent they had to pay for their flat. Back to the building man they 56 with their $1,500. But to their surprise he 57 the deposit was now $3,000.Now somewhat wiser, the worker said, “And the next time, I dare say we’ll find the deposit rising once more. How have we 58 save the extra $1,500?”“Well”, said the man, “I think we can stabilize the situation for about twelve months.By the time you come with $3,000, we will have had the house 59 for you.The couple left, sad at heart as they saw their dream house 60 .

Then from across the street someone came walking.It looked like a man of middle height, dressed in a big raincoat, a soft hat and rubber-soled boots or shoes, and making little sound while walking. No one was in sight. It was a street with two rows of about fifty small houses and there were three lamps on either side. The lamp nearest to the child’s house could be seen clearly, but the others were almost hidden by the smoky air. A car passed the end of the street and its lights showed faintly, but clearly enough to show the smooth skin of a woman’s face. The car disappeared as the woman, wrapped up in her coat, reached the doorway of the child’s house.She put a key in the lock quickly, pushed the door open and stepped inside, then closed the door without looking round. She began to breathe hard.She leaned against the door for a moment, then straightened up as if with an effort, and walked towards the door of the front room, the passage leading to the kitchen, and the narrow staircase. She hesitated outside the door, then went up the stairs quickly but with hardly a sound. There was enough light from the narrow hall to show the four doors leading off a small landing (楼梯平台). She pushed each door open in turn and shone a torch inside, and the light fell upon beds, walls, furniture, a bathroom hand-basin, a mirror which flashed brightness back; but this was not what the woman was looking for. She turned away and went downstairs, and hesitated again at the foot of the stairs, then turned towards the kitchen. Clearly there was nothing there, or in the small washroom that she wanted. Two rooms remained; the front room and a smaller one next to it. She opened the front room door. After a moment, she saw the child’s bed and the child.1. The lights of the car passing the end of the street showed that .A. a woman was driving the carB. someone was standing by a street lampC. a man and a woman were walking up the streetD. a woman was walking by herself up the street2.

B. memory can be improved by practicing it
C. the poor and humble people may help you remember things
D. if you want a good memory, do not read or write anything
Have you ever noticed that people who cannot read or write usually have better memories than those who can? Why is this? Of course, because those who cannot read or write have to remember things; they cannot write them down in a little notebook. They have to remember dates, times and prices, names, songs and stories; so their memory is the whole time being exercised.
D. Learn from the Poor and Humble.

A young man who lived inLondonwas in love with a beautiful girl. Soon she became his fiancée（未婚妻）. The man was very poor while the girl was rich. The young man wanted to make her a present on her birthday. He wanted to buy something beautiful for her, but he had no idea how to do it, as he had very little money. The next morning he went to a shop. There were many fine things there: gold watches, diamond… but all these things were too expensive. There was one thing he could not take his eyes off. It was a beautiful vase. That was a suitable present for his fiancée. He had been looking at the vase for halfan hour when the manager of the shop noticed him. The young man looked so pale, sad and unhappy that the manager asked what had happened to him.

It was not a sudden and violent overturning of the political and social framework, such as later occurred in France and Russia, when both were already independent nations. Significant changes were ushered in, but they were not breathtaking. What happened was accelerated evolution rather than outright revolution. During the conflict itself people went on working and praying, marrying and playing. Most of them were not seriously disturbed by the actual fighting, and many of the more isolated communities scarcely knew that a war was on.America ’s War of independence heralded the birth of three modern nations. One was Canada, which received its first large influx (涌入) of English-speaking population from the thousands of loyalists who fled there from the United States. Another was Australia, which became a penal colony now that America was no longer available for prisoners and debtors. The thirdPart II. Reading Comprehension (40%)newcomer----the United States-based itself squarely on republican principles.Yet even the political overturn was not so revolutionary as one might suppose. In some states, notable Connecticut and Rhode Island, the war largely ratified (批准，认可) a colonial self-rule already existing. British officials, everywhere ousted (驱逐), were replaced by a homegrown governing class, which promptly sought a local substitute for king and Parliament.Questions 21 to 25 are based on the following passage:31．Which of the following would be the best title for the passage?A) The United States: An isolated CommunityB) Breathtaking Events during the American RevolutionC) Canada and the American war of IndependenceD) The American Revolution: Evolution Not Revolution32. In the first paragraph, what does the author suggest about the French and RussianRevolutions?A) They were explosive and abrupt.B) They were ineffective.C) They involved only those people living in urban areas.D) They led to the release of all political prisoners. 33. In line 7 what does the author mean by “people went on working and praying, marrying and playing”? A) More people got married than divorced.B) The war created new jobs.C) Life went on as usual. D) People had more than enough leisure time.34. In the second paragraph, the author states that the colonies struggle for self-government preceded the creation of all of the following countries EXCEPT_____.A) Canada B) the United States C) Australia D) the United Kingdom 35. It can be inferred from the passage that the loyalists who escaped to Canada were _____.A) Russian B) French C) British D) AustralianPassage TwoSome of the most beautiful caves are formed in glaciers (冰川). Streams of melting ice and snow tunnel through the glaciers the same way that water from a faucet melts its way through an ice cube. Water from the surface drips down through cracks, hollowing out the tunnels and decorating the caves with crystal icicles. The smooth walls and floors are so glasslike that pebbles frozen six feet deep can easily be seen. Crystal-clear icicles draping from the ceilings flash blue-green, as though they were carved from precious jewels instead of ice. Although most of the cave ice in the United States is found in lava caves, there are a number of limestone ice caves as well. Some people believe that this ice was formed thousands of years ago, when temperatures were much colder than they are today. Others think that the cave ice broke off from the ancient glaciers as they spread over the country. Today many cave scientists have another idea. They believe that cold water sinks down through cracks into these caves until the temperature is chilly enough to freeze the water that seeps (渗入) in. The ice that forms keep the cave cool, and that helps build up still more ice. Many caves become covered with so much ice that no one knows just how thick it is. In some, such as Crystal Falls Cave in Idaho, there are frozen rivers and even 装 订 线 内 不 要 答 题frozen waterfalls. Native Americans and early settlers used to store food in these underground refrigerators and chip out blocks of ice to melt for drinking water.Questions 26 to 30 are based on the following passage:36．What does the passage mainly discuss?A)Characteristics of glaciers.B)Uses for ice caves.C)The origin of cave ice.]D)Where glaciers can be found.37.

D) In cave cracks.Passage ThreeQuestions 31 to 35 are based on the following passages:With the Switzerland-based World Wildlife Fund(WWF), China is making a concerned and dedicated effort to save the endangered pandas. The results, officials here in Chengdu indicate, are mixed but encouraging.A clear disappointment is the failure to breed pandas in captivity, necessary if their decreasing numbers are to be replaced. Another failure has been the incapability to find a natural, readily available food to replace the arrow bamboo.Despite these failures, success has come on two fronts. One achievement has been the physical rescue effort. Some pandas have been kept alive by salting the mountains with tons of cooked meat, which pandas will eat as a substitute for bamboo, and by the planting of new bamboo in isolated areas. Animals in some Sichuan areas have been rescued by local peasants and given emergency treatment by animal doctors.A second achievement is a massive fund-raising effort. Publicity about the pandas’ plight has resulted in a new $100,000 emergency allocation by the WWF and independent fund dries both in China and abroad.In spite of this support, there have been conflicts in the panda relief program. One important problem is the difficulty Peking is having balancing the recommendations of environmentalists with China’s ambitious goal of agricultural and industrial modernization.Wolong is but one example of this difficulty. This 494,000-acre preserve was declared aprotected area in 1975. Yet 1,800 people, mostly Tibetans, still live in the preserve, logging trunks still roll down the narrow mountain roads, and blasting work still goes on at the site of a new 160,000-kilowatt hydroelectric plant just six miles away.This all means that the panda’s fight for survival will not be an easy one, even with the concerted effort of man. For in the end, even if they can survive the dangers of the wild, they must still contend with man.41. Efforts to save the endangered pandas _________.A)have met with setbacks but brought hopeB)have proven highly successfulC)have failed completelyD)have received no response from the scientists42. Which of the following threatens pandas’ survival in the Wolong preserve?A)Local population.B)Economic development.C)Unfavorable environment.D)All of the above.43. All of the following help prevent the decline of the panda population EXCEPT__________.A)the large-scale fund-raising drivesB)the reproduction of panda offspring during captivityC)the rescue of the injured and the sickD)the cultivation of new bamboo forests44. It can be inferred from the passage that _____.A)Switzerland is the only country that contributes in the panda relief programB)it is too late to rescue the endangered pandasC)the survival of pandas is an international concernD)the lovely pandas will soon die out45. The tone of the author’s conclusion concerning pandas’ survival is _______.A) worried B) optimistic C) angry D) impersonalPassage FourWe use emotive language to express our own attitudes and feelings. We also direct emotive language at other people to persuade them to believe as we do or to do, as we want them to do; and, of course, other people direct emotive language at us to get us to believe or to do what they want.We are subjected to a constant stream of persuasion, day in, and day out, at home and in school, on the radio and on television. It comes from parents and teachers, from preachers and politicians, form editors and commentators, but most of all, of course, from advertisers. Most of this persuasion is expressed in emotive language and is intended to appeal to our feelings rather than to be weighted up by our powers of reasoning.We should look at the motives behind all this persuasion. Why do they want to persuade us? What do they want us to do? We are not thinking very clearly unless we try to see through the veil of words and realize something of the speakers’ purpose.An appeal to motion is in itself neither good nor bad. Our emotions exist and they are part of our personality. On some occasions people appeal to our emotions on the highest levels and fromthe best of motives. A case in point is Churchill ’s wartime speeches: whatever people thought of Churchill as a politician, they were united behind him when he spoke as a national leader in those dark days their feelings responded to his call for resolution and unity.It is a characteristic of social groups that the members have a feeling of personal attachment to the group--- to the family in earliest childhood and extending later to the school, the team, the church, the nation, in patterns that vary from time to time. Hence a speaker from our group will find in us feelings to which he can readily and genuinely appeal, whether our reaction is favorable or not. We are at least open to the appeal and we appreciate the content in which it is made. Questions 36 to 40 are based on the following passage:46. The passage discusses the emotive language, whose major functions are to ______.A) show one ’s feelings and appeal to these of othersB) make others trust us and respond to our feelingC) extend our powers of reasoning and carry out a purposeD) advertise and produce the wanted social effects47. The source from which emotive language flows upon us in its greatest amount is _____.A) the religious circles B) the academic lectureC) the mass media D) the advertising business48. The third paragraph of this passage suggests that we __________.A) have to carefully use our emotive languageB) need to judge whether a persuasion is made for good or badC) should keep a cool head when subjected to different kinds of persuasionsD) should avoid being easily seen through by and appeal form others49. Churchill is mentioned in the passage as _______.A) a good example of the way of weighting up persuasion by reasoningB) a famous leader who brought out people ’s best feelingsC) a positive example of appealing to people ’s emotionD) a known politician who was good at lecturing50. From the passage we can get that a persuasive speaker must ________.A) find out what group his audience is attached toB) differentiate his speech patterns from time to timeC) be aware of the way of adapting his speaking way to the needs of the audienceD) know whether the listeners are favorable to his opinion or not51. The shy girl felt ____ and uncomfortable when she could not answer her teacher ’s questions.A. amazedB. awkwardC. curiousD. amused52.

Reading comprehension.Passage 1While I was waiting to enter university, I saw advertised in a local newspaper a teaching post at a school in a suburb of London about ten miles from where I lived. Being very short of money and wanting to do something useful, I applied, fearing as I do so, that without a degree and with no experience in teaching my chances of getting the job were slim.However, three days later a letter arrived, asking me to go to Croydon for an interview. It proved an awkward journey: a train to Croydon station; a ten-minute bus ride and then a walk of at least a quarter of a mile. As a result I arrived on a hot June morning too depressed to feel nervous.The school was a red brick house with big windows. The front garden was a gravel square; four evergreen shrubs stood at each corner, where they struggled to survive the dust and fumes from a busy main road.It was clearly the headmaster himself that opened the door. He was short and fat. He had a sandy-colored moustache, a wrinkled forehead and hardly any hair.He looked at me with an air of surprised disapproval, as a colonel might look at a private whose bootlaces were undone. “ Ah yes,” he grunted. “ You’d better come inside.” The narrow, sunless hall smelled unpleasantly of stale cabbage; the walls were dirty with ink marks; it was all silent. His study, judging by the crumbs on the carpet, was also his dining-room. “You’d better sit down,” he said, and proceeded to ask me a number of questions: what subjects I had taken in my General School Certificate; how old I was; what games I played; then fixing me suddenly with his bloodshot eyes, he asked me whether I thought games were a vital part of a boy’s education. I mumbled something about not attaching too much importance to them. He grunted. I had said the wrong thing. The headmaster and I obviously had very little in common.41. The author applied for the teaching post because he _C .a) needed money and wanted to do something useful42. When the author applied for the job, he thought that ____Ｂ__ .a) he had little hope of getting it43. When the author arrived at the school for the interview, he felt ____Ｄ__ .a) very low in spirits44. The headmaster looked at the author disapprovingly ______Ａ______ .a) as an officer might look at a carelessly dressed soldier45. The author thought that the headmaster used his study as a dining-room because it _Ｂ.a) had bits of bread on the carpetMy mind went numb when I saw the gun pointing against the car window as we pulled out of the garage: This can’t be happening to me. Then I felt the gun, cold, against my head, and I heard my friend Jeremy saying, “What do you want? Take my wallet,” but at the time I thought of nothing.I remember being vaguely annoyed when the gunman pulled me from the car by the hair. I remember the walk to the house ---- Jeremy, me, the two men with two guns. Irem ember the fear and anger in the gunmen’s voices because Jeremy was being slow, and I was wondering why he was being so slow. I did not realize that Jeremy had thrown the keys into the shrubbery. But I remember the sound of the gun hitting Jeremy’s headand the feeling as the man who had hold of my hair released me. And I remember the split second when I realized he was looking at Jeremy, and I remember wondering how far I could run before he pulled the trigger. But I was already running, and upon reaching the car across the street, I didn’t crouch behind it but screamed instead.I remember thinking there was something absurdly melodramatic about screaming “Help, help!” at eight o’clock on a Tuesday evening in December and changing my plea to the more specifi c “Help, let me in, please let me in!” But the houses were cold, closed, unfriendly, and I ran on until I heard Jeremy’s screams behind me announcing that our attackers had fled.The neighbors who had not opened their doors to us came out with baseball bats and helped Jeremy find his glasses and keys. In a group they were very brave. We waited for the cops to come until someone said to someone else that the noodles were cold, and I said politely, “Please go and eat. We’re O.K.”I was happy to see them go. They had been talking of stiffer sentences for criminals, of bringing back the death penalty and how the President is going to clean up the country.I was thinking, they could be saying all of this over my dead body, and I still feel that stiffer sentences wouldn’t change a thing. In a rush all the rage I should have felt for my attackers was directed against these contented people standing in front of their warm, cozy homes talking about all the guns they were going to buy. What good would guns have been to Jeremy and me?46. When the writer saw the gun pointing against the car window, ___Ｃ___a) she lost consciousness.47. When the gunman pulled her from the car by her hair, ____Ｂ_____a) the writer felt somewhat angry.48. The writer changed her plea to a more specific one because she realized the general call for help ______Ｃ______a) would sound foolish and unreal.49. When the author called for help, the neighbors didn’t come out immediately because __D _a) they were scared.50. The author was happy to see the neighbors go because ______Ｄ____a) she wanted to be left alone with Jeremy to get over the shock.Passage 3You go shopping for a new refrigerator, and you’re on a budget (手头拮据). Are you sure that the best buy is “the fridge with the lowest sales price”? Not necessarily. When you buy the lowest-priced refrigerator, you may end up spending more than if you buy a more expensive one. The reason is that the cost of owning a home appliance consists of three components: the initial purchase price, the cost of repairs and maintenance, and the cost to operate it.To figure out how much you’ll spend over the lifetime of the appliance, you have to look at all these costs. The appliance with the lowest purchase price, or even the best repair record, isn’t necessarily the one that costs the least to operate.Suppose you’re in the market for a new refrigerator. Different models of refrigerators with the same capacity can vary dramatically in the amount of electricity they use. For example, the annual electricity consumption varies from a low of about 600kilowatt-hours a year to a high of more than 800 kilowatt-hours a year. That means the annual cost to operate refrigerators can range from about $50 to $80. A $30 difference in annual operating costs might not sound like much, but remember that you will enjoy these savings year after year for the life of the appliance otherwise. As a result, you may actually save money by purchasing the more expensive, more energy-efficient model.51. the cost of owning an appliance may include ___Ｄ___.a. both A and C52. Annual cost for running a refrigerator may reach __Ｃ__.c. from $50 to $ 8053. Which of the following is NOT true according to the passage?Ａa. A more expensive appliance saves you more money.54. What are energy efficient appliances?Ｂb. Those with a low energy consumption.55. What can be a conclusion from the passage?Ｄd. To buy an expensive but energy-saving appliance can be the choice.V. Translate the following sentences into Chinese.56. It is obviously his young assistant who is running the book store.很明显是他的年轻助理在打理这家书店57. She got a post as a cashier at a local bank. But she was soon fired because she proved to be incompetent.她在本地银行得到一个做出纳员的职位，但是由于她不能胜任，很快就被解雇了。

《大学英语(2)期末考试卷A(可编辑修改word版)
（翻译题请在此空白处答题，否则不得分） 你不分工作和家庭
即使在家，你的工作也是最重要的。
你一心扑在工作上，只有在工作中才能找到快乐。工作似乎总是在家庭和娱乐之上。
除了与工作有关的事情，你就没有社交生活了。
In our society, parents often expect their children to do better than they did, to find better jobs, to make more money and to do all the things that they were unable to do. Often, that is another cause of the gap between them. Often, they discover that they have very little in common with each other.
The gas shortage has caused a big problem for Americans. But the answer will not be a bigger system of public transportation. The real solution will have to be a new kind of car, one that does not use so muchgas.
The third reason is the most important one, though. The American spirit of independence is what really made cars popular. Americans don’t like to wait for a bus or a train or even a plane. They don’t like to have to follow an exact schedule. A car gives them the freedom to schedule their own time. And this is the freedom that Americans want most to have.

华侨大学继续教育学院（业余/函授） 2014级财务管理-专科专业2016学年第 5 学期《大学英语2》课程试卷 A □开卷■闭卷班级：姓名：学号：成绩：
unemployment rate has remained at a fairly high level over the last decade. It is almost impossible for a non-German to get a job in Germany unless she/he can prove that it can’t be done by a German national. In certain fields, such as computer science or information systems, “green card”foreign workers have been imported, but this practice is still uncommon. The reality of searching for and finding a suitable position in German Europe or with a German firm means two main things: knowledge and planning. Too many times, job seekers have unrealistic expectations. Often they overestimate their language skills and underestimate the level of competition. Anotherdanger is ignoring culture shock. That’s why we also offer links to culture-related sites. For getting most German jobs, it is your ability in a field—computers, teaching, advertising, etc.—rather than your German skills that will be the biggest factor in a
successful search. But all other things being equal between you and another candidate, it is the person with the best language skills who usually gets the job.
41. What is the requirement of the job within a company doing business in the US, Canada, Mexico or elsewhere included in the first category?
42.What might the company do for the benefit of a foreign employee?
43. What seems to be “hot”fields if you are to find a job in German?
44. What is the reason for the author to offer links to culture-related sites?
45. What is more important to get most German jobs according to the passage?
