Passage1"Congratulations,Mr Jones,it's a girl."Fatherhood is going to have a different meaning and brings forth a different answer from every man who hears these words.Some feel proud when they receive the news,while others worry,wondering whether they will be good fathers. Although there are some men who like children and may have had considerable experience withthem,others do not particularly care for child en and spend little time with them.Many father s and mother s have been planning and looking forward to children for some time.For other couples,pregnancy was an I accident that both husband and wife have accepted willingly or unwillingly.Whatever the reaction to the birth of a child,it is obvious that the shift from the role of husband to that of father is a difficult task.Yet,unfortunately,few attempts have been made to educate fathers in this process.A I though numerous books have been written about American mothers,only recently has literature focused on the role of a father.It is argued by some writers that the transition to the father's role,although difficult,is not nearly as great as the transition the wife must make to the mother's role.The mother's role seems to require complete transformation in daily routine and highly innovative adaptation:on the other hand,the father's role is less demanding and immediate.However, even though we mentioned the fact that growing number of women are working outside the home,the father is still thought by many as the breadwinner in the household.1.According to the passage,fatherhood has different meanings for the men who become fathers,because______.A.some men feel proud and others notB.becoming a father is not usually on their list of things to doC.they are not prepared to meet the obstaclesD.they wonder whether they will be good fathers2.Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?A.Some couples have the baby accidentally and they are not ready for it.B.Working couples usually turn to their parents to look after their children.C.Young parents often expect to have a boy as their first child.D.Young couples do not want to have children for the first five years of their marriages.3.The writer______in the third paragraph.A.supports the ideas that a father should get involved in houseworkplains that being a mother is a job with no descriptionC.Feels thankful that there are numerous books written about American motherplains that being a father is a job with no description4.The change of the mother's role requires that the wife______.A.stay at home to look after the babyB.Change as completely as the husbandC.Change completely to cope with the newD.Help her husband as much as possible.5.What does the word“breadwinner”moan in the last paragraph?A.a person who wins in a bread making competitionB.a person who works in a bakeryC.a person who earns money to support the familyD.a person who bakes bread at homePassage 2本篇文章为《贵州省成人学士学位英语课程考试指南》参考书中原题。
贵州大学研究生英语期末深刻复习资料
翻译第一课1.For English is a killer.It is English that has killed off Cumbric,Cornish,Norn and Manx.There are still parts of these islands where sizeable communities speak languages that were there before English.Yet English is everywhere in everyday use and understood by all or virtually(actually)all,constituting such a threat to the three remaining Celtic languages,Irish,Scottish Gaelic,and Welsh...that t heir long-term future must be considered...very greatly at risk.因为英语是个杀手。
正是英语造成了凯尔特语、康沃尔语、诺恩语和马恩语等语言的消亡。
这些岛上的分地区依然还有很多社区的人使用在英语到来之前就已存在的语言。
然而，英语在日常生活中无处不在。
所有的人或几乎所有的人都懂英语。
英语对仅存的三种凯尔特语——爱尔兰语、苏格兰盖尔语及威尔士语的威胁是如此之大，人们一定认为它们遥远的未来是岌岌可危的。
2.He also associated such policies with a prejudice which he calls linguicism[a condition parallel to(equal to/similar to)racism and sexism].As Phillipson sees it,leading institutions and individuals within the predominantly"white"English-speaking world,have[by d esign(=deliberately)or default(=mistake)]encouraged or at least tolerated—and certainly have not opposed—the hegemonic spread of English,a spread which began some(about)three centuries ago as(when)economic and colonial expansion.同时，他认为这些政策和他称之为语言歧视（与种族歧视、性别歧视等类似）的偏见密切相关。
2019年贵州大学翻译硕士真题回忆
[2019初试真题回忆]2019年贵州大学翻译硕士真题回忆老学姐攒人品！给小可爱们栽树乘凉，贵大没真题只能这样啦～先说说我英语基本情况，本省生高考130四六级裸过词汇大概5000左右，基础不太好一直吃老本的理工女跨考贵大翻硕。
所以过程比较苦憋，本专业可能相对容易些。
而且我发挥不好，复习也存在一些漏洞，可能考不上，怎么说呢，感觉自己笨笨的～整个过程真是一个苦憋的辛酸史，你得放弃很多，但也能收货很多～这些经历是花钱买不到别人给不了的～不管结果怎样我不后悔～首先考研是场持久战，没有毅力吃不了苦就不要盲目励志哈，我差不多是去得最早的人，去占了个位置就没动过。
自习的地方这八个月里来来去去很多人，一直坚持下来的人就那么几个。
身边的同学也有很多中途放弃，如果吃不了苦，就去准备省考进公司找工作之类的，这些相对速成一点，这是我中肯的建议。
每个月都有人因为这样那样的原因坚持不下去了，其次身体是革命的本钱，要考研的话1-6月差不多要抽点时间每天健身锻炼身体，我3到7月是每天6.50起来慢跑1200米，天气渐渐温暖其实也还好，11月自习室就有几个同学腰椎颈椎有问题不得不放弃～可惜～从三月到十二月低都没回家，没想过自己可以离家那么久，大假小假都不敢回，心慌得很，既然决定走这条路就不能留遗憾～四月报的新东方mti 全程班，一来是跨考生当时还是有点迷茫，问前辈说要看武峰12天买了全套还是觉得外行难入手，其次想让自己花些钱有点鸭梨也有录屏版的网盘分享其实也可以，当时啥也不知道觉得到处收集很麻烦就直接报了。
用下来性价比emmm...没有很高，但打基础还可以，也能学到东西就是小贵鸭加上政治还搞活动将近4000～～后面才发现武峰的课也就那么点，而且大多数是录播去贴吧网盘这些还是找得到的～以前以为会时不时直播一下，后面才发现是我太可爱，直播就一节最后三小时，看个人嘛，如果手头宽裕把钱花在学习上总比拿去买吃的玩的踏实。
五一去苗寨玩过一次，就再也没有离开过学校，十月之前强度不是很大打基础背单词我用的是如鱼得水记单词专四，看语法做阅读，百科积累，我是从头开始背新东方六级，何凯文考研单词，如鱼得水专四，如鱼得水30个单元每天一单元来回走了3遍当然我记性不好而且也不是每天做有时候要背百科词条也就放了一下，最后还真没记住多少，心静不下来就练练字，用五毛那种英语本写了6本，就写ABC....自己怎么喜欢怎么写，我不喜欢用字帖，喜欢那种圆圆的字，所以自己练习。

Using Music to Change Your MoodEveryone knows that listening to music when feeling bad can provide a relief. Music can also reduce stress, make depression more bearable and help you relax.All the benefits of music can only be got if the listener enjoys the music he is listening to. If the listener dislikes the music or finds it boring,It will have a negative effect on him instead of a positive one.Now let's examine what most of us do when it comes to listening to music. We usually just listen to a play list and allow a program to randomly(任意地) select the songs we are going to listen to.This is where the problem lies. What if you liked the first song but found the second one boring? What if the third one was a motivating song while the fourth didn't suit your emotions? What do you think the result will be?What you'll have is an emotional mess! The first song will lift your mood a little. The second will make you a little bored.The third will motivate you and then the fourth will put you down. In the end you will end up feeling worse than before.l strongly recommend dividing your play list into different small lists.For example, a list for relaxation, a list for motivation and so on. Another very important thing you must do is to get rid of the old music that you are bored of. Besides,don 't listen to songs with negative words or messages.The music you listen to can delay your recovery from breakups（分手）by months and months! People who listen to romantic songs after breakups recover 10 times slower than those who don't. So be careful with your play list if you want to recover faster.1.Music is believed to have a comforting effect.A. TrueB. FalseC. Not Given2.One can benefit from all kinds of music.A. TrueB. FalseC. Not Given3.People tend to listen to music selectively.A. TrueB. FalseC. Not Given4.People generally prefer motivating songs.A. TrueB. FalseC. Not Given5.

贵州省2023成人学士学位英语考试真题2023 Adult Bachelor's Degree English Exam in Guizhou ProvincePart I: Reading ComprehensionPassage 1:Rise of Eco-Tourism in GuizhouGuizhou Province is known for its stunning natural landscapes, rich ethnic culture, and diverse wildlife. In recent years, the province has seen a rise in eco-tourism, attracting both domestic and international tourists. Eco-tourism focuses on preserving the environment, supporting local communities, and promoting sustainable practices.One of the most popular eco-tourism destinations in Guizhou is the Fanjing Mountain National Nature Reserve. This UNESCO World Heritage Site is home to a variety of rare plant and animal species, and offers breathtaking views of the surrounding mountains and forests. Visitors can participate in guided tours, hiking trips, and cultural activities in the nearby villages.Another must-visit eco-tourism spot in Guizhou is the Huangguoshu Waterfall, the largest waterfall in China. Tourists can admire the cascading water from various viewpoints, take a boat ride on the river, or explore the lush forests surrounding the waterfall. Local guides are available to provide information about the history and ecology of the area.In addition to these natural attractions, Guizhou also offers unique cultural experiences for eco-tourists. Visitors can learn about the traditional customs and crafts of ethnic minority groups such as the Miao and Buyi people, sample local cuisine, and participate in traditional festivals and ceremonies.Overall, eco-tourism in Guizhou provides a sustainable and enriching travel experience for nature lovers and cultural enthusiasts alike. By supporting eco-friendly initiatives and respecting the local environment and culture, tourists can contribute to the preservation and development of Guizhou's natural and cultural heritage.Questions:1. What is eco-tourism and why is it important in Guizhou Province?2. What are some popular eco-tourism destinations in Guizhou?3. How can tourists support eco-friendly initiatives in Guizhou?Passage 2:The Future of Sustainable Agriculture in GuizhouGuizhou Province is known for its fertile soil, mild climate, and abundant rainfall, making it an ideal location for sustainable agriculture practices. With the increasing demand for organic produce and the growing awareness of environmental issues, farmers in Guizhou are turning to sustainable farming methods to protect the land and promote biodiversity.One example of sustainable agriculture in Guizhou is terrace farming, a traditional farming technique that dates back centuries. By constructing terraces on mountain slopes, farmers can prevent soil erosion, conserve water, and optimize land use. Terrace farming has been practiced by ethnic minority groups in Guizhou for generations and continues to be a vital part of the local economy.Another sustainable farming practice gaining popularity in Guizhou is organic farming. By avoiding synthetic fertilizers andpesticides, organic farmers can produce healthier and more environmentally friendly crops. Consumers are increasingly willing to pay a premium for organic produce, leading to new opportunities for farmers to market their goods and improve their livelihoods.Agroforestry is another sustainable agriculture practice that is being promoted in Guizhou. By planting trees and shrubs alongside crops, farmers can improve soil health, provide habitat for beneficial insects and wildlife, and sequester carbon dioxide from the atmosphere. Agroforestry systems can increase biodiversity, enhance ecosystem services, and contribute to climate change mitigation efforts.Overall, sustainable agriculture is essential for the long-term prosperity and environmental health of Guizhou Province. By adopting eco-friendly farming practices, farmers can protect the land, support biodiversity, and provide nutritious food for the local community and beyond.Questions:1. What are some examples of sustainable agriculture practices in Guizhou?2. How can sustainable agriculture benefit farmers and the environment in Guizhou?3.

2009年研究生英语学位考试试卷A
Part II Reading Comprehension (40 points)Directions：There are 4 passages in this part．Each passage is followed by 5 questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are 4 choices marked A,B,C and D．Choose the bestone and mark the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet．Passage 1It is hard to predict how science is going to turn out, and if it is really good science it is impossible to predict. If the things to be found are actually new, they are by definition unknown in advance. You cannot make choices in this matter. You either have science or you don't, and if you have it you are obliged to accept the surprising and disturbing pieces of information, along with the neat and promptly useful bits.The only solid piece of scientific truth about which I feel totally confident is that we are profoundly ignorant about nature. Indeed, I regard this as the major discovery of the past hundred years of biology. It is, in its way, an illuminating piece of news. It would have amazed the brightest minds of the 18th century Enlightenment to be told by any of us how little we know and how bewildering seems the way ahead. It is this sudden confrontation with the depth and scope of ignorance that represents the most significant contribution of the 20th century science to the human intellect. In earlier times, we either pretended to understand how things worked or ignored the problem, or simply made up stories to fill the gaps. Now that we have begun exploring in earnest, we are getting glimpses of how huge the questions are, and how far from being answered. Because of this, we are depressed. It is not so bad being ignorant if you are totally ignorant; the hard thing is knowing in some detail the reality of ignorance, the worst spots and here and there the not-so-bad spots, but no true light at the end of the tunnel nor even any tunnels that can yet be trusted.But we are making a beginning, and there ought to be some satisfaction. There are probably no questions we can think up that can't be answered, sooner or later, including even the matter of consciousness. To be sure, there may well be questions we can't think up, ever, and therefore limits to the reach of human intellect, but that is another matter. Within our limits, we should be able to work our way through to all our answers, if we keep at it long enough, and pay attention.21. According to the author, really good science_______________________ .A. would surprise the brightest minds of the 18th century EnlightenmentB. will produce results which cannot be foreseenC. will help people to make the right choice in advanceD. will bring about disturbing results22. It can be inferred from the passage that scientists of the 18th century_________ .A. thought that they knew a great deal and could solve most problems of scienceB. were afraid of facing up to the realities of scientific researchC. knew that they were ignorant and wanted to know more about natureD. did more harm than good in promoting man's understanding of nature23. Which of the following statements is NOT true of scientists in earlier times?A. They invented false theories to explain things they didn't understand.B. They falsely claimed to know all about nature.C. They did not believe in results from scientific observation.D. They paid little attention to the problems they didn't understand.24. What is the author's attitude towards science?A. He is depressed because of the ignorance of scientists.B. He is doubtful because of the enormous difficulties confronting it.C. He is confident though he is aware of the enormous difficulties confronting it.D. He is delighted because of the illuminating scientific findings.25. The author believes that___________________________ .A. man can find solutions to whatever questions concerning nature he can think upB. man cannot solve all the problems he can think up because of the limits of human intellectC. sooner or later man can think up all the questions concerning nature and answer themD. questions concerning consciousness are outside the scope of scientific researchPassage 2For most of thinkers since the Greek philosophers, it was self-evident that there is something called human nature, something that constitutes the essence of man. There were various views about what constitutes it, but there was agreement thatsuch an essence exists --- that is to say, that there is something by virtue of which man is man. Thus man was defined as a rational being, as a social animal, an animal that can make tools, or a symbol-making animal.More recently, this traditional view has begun to be questioned. One reason for this change was the increasing emphasis given to the historical approach to man. An examination of the history of humanity suggested that man in our epoch is so different from man in previous times that it seemed unrealistic to assume that men in every age have had in common something that can be called “human nature.” The historical approach was reinforced, particularly in the United States, by studies i n the field of cultural anthropology. The study of primitive peoples has discovered such a diversity of customs, values, feelings, and thoughts that many anthropologists arrived at the concept that man is born as a blank sheet of paper on which each culture writes its text. Another factor contributing to the tendency to deny the assumption of a fixed human nature was that the concept has so often been abused as a shield behind which the most inhuman acts are committed. In the name of human nature, for example, Aristotle and most thinkers up to the eighteenth century defended slavery. Or in order to prove the rationality and necessity of the capitalist form of society, scholars have tried to make a case for acquisitiveness, competitiveness, and selfishness as innate human traits. Popularly, one refers cynically to “human nature” in accepting the inevitability of such undesirable human behaviors as greed, murder, cheating and lying.Another reason for skepticism about the concept of human nature probably lies in the influence of evolutionary thinking. Once man came to be seen as developing in the process of evolution, the idea of a substance which is contained in his essence seemed untenable. Yet I believe it is precisely from an evolutionary standpoint that we can expect new insight into the problem of the nature of man.26. According to the passage, we know the concept of “human nature” is _______.A. defined as the essence of man who can make tools and symbolsB. rather controversial between historians and anthropologistsC. ever denied by ancient thinkers a shield behind evil human behaviorsD. questioned by many scholars including evolutionists27. As is mentioned in the passage, human beings are supposed by anthropologists to ____________.A. have some thing in common as “human nature”B. be born with no feelings and thoughtsC. come to the world empty-handedD. be brought to the world in a blank sheet of paper28. The author mentioned the ancient and great thinker Aristotle in the passage to _________.A. reveal that he ever took advantage of the concept of “human nature”.B. show that he contributed a lot to the concept of “human nature”C. support that it is inevitable for human beings to have innate human traitsD. imply that ancient thinkers are not wise enough as the modern scholars29. The concept of “human nature” in the passage is said to be __________.A. something not shared by human beings according to the ancient scholarsB. something not born with human beings but acquired, as Aristotle thoughtC. the essence of human beings as rational beings and social animalsD. something as a blank sheet for people to write cultures on30. The word “ untenable” in the last paragraph of the passage could most probably mean _________.A. incredibleB. assailableC. changeableD. imaginablePassage 3Many of the most damaging and life-threatening types of weather——torrential rains, severe thunderstorm, and tornadoes——begin quickly, strike suddenly, and dissipate rapidly, devastating small regions while leaving neighboring areas untouched. One such event, a tornado, struck the northeastern section of Edmonton, Alberta, in July 1987. Total damages from the tornado exceeded $ 250 million, the highest ever for any Canadian storm. Conventional computer models of the atmosphere have limited value in predicting short-lived local storms like the Edmonton tornado, because the available weather data are generally not detailed enough to allow computers to discern the subtle atmospheric changes that precede these storms. In most nations, for example, weather-balloon observations are taken just once every twelve hours at locations typically separated by hundreds of miles. With such limited data, conventional forecasting models do a much better job predicting general weather conditions over large regions than they do forecasting specific local events. Until recently, the observation——intensive approach needed for accurate, very short-range forecasts, or “Nowcast", was not feasible. The cost of equipping and operatingmany thousands of conventional weather stations was prohibitively high, and the difficulties involved in rapidly collecting and processing the raw weather data from such a network were insurmountable. Fortunately, scientific and technological advances have overcome most of these problems. Radar systems, automated weather instruments, and satellites are all capable of making detailed, nearly continuous observations over large regions at a relatively low cost. Communications satellites can transmit data around the world cheaply and instantaneously, and modern computers can quickly compile and analyze this large volume of weather information. Meteorologists and computer scientists now work together to design computer programs and video equipment capable of transforming raw weather data into words, symbols, and vivid graphic displays that forecasters can interpret easily and quickly. As meteorologists have begun using these new technologies in weather forecasting offices, Nowcasting is becoming a reality.31. The author mentions the tornado in Edmonton, Canada, in order to___________ .A. indicate that tornadoes are common in the summerB. give an example of a damaging stormC. explain different types of weatherD. show that tornadoes occur frequently in Canada32. All the following are mentioned as an advance in short-range weather forecasting EXCEPT_________________.A. weather balloonsB. radar systemsC. automated instrumentsD. satellites33. With Nowcasting, it first became possible to provide information about________.A. short-lived local stormsB. radar networksC. long-range weather forecastsD. general weather conditions34. With which of the following statements is the author most likely to agree?A. Communications satellites can predict severe weather.B. Meteorologists should standardize computer programs.C. The observation-intensive approach is no longer useful.D. Weather predictions are becoming more accurate.35. Nowcasting would be best illustrated by________________________ .A. a five-day forecastB. a warning about a severe thunder-storm on the radioC. the average rainfall for each monthD. a list of temperatures in major citiesPassage 4Failure is probably the most fatiguing experience a person ever has．There is nothing more exhausting than not succeeding，being blocked，not moving ahead．It is an evil circle．Failure breeds fatigue，and fatigue makes it harder to get to work，which adds to the fatigue．We experience this tiredness in two main ways，as start-up fatigue and performance fatigue．In the former case，we keep putting off a task that we are forced to take up．Either because it is too tedious or because it is too difficult，we avoid it．And the longer we postpone it，the more tired we feel．Such start-up fatigue is very real，even not actually physical，not something in our muscles and bones．The remedy is obvious，though perhaps not easy to apply：willpower exercise．The moment I find myself turning away from a job，or putting it under a pile of things I have to do，I clear my desk of everything else and attach the objectionable item first．To prevent start-up fatigue，always treat the most difficult job first．Performance fatigue is more difficult to handle．Here we are willing to get started，but we can't seem to do the job right．Its difficulties appear to be insurmountable and however hard we work，we fail again and again．The mounting experience of failure carries with it an ever-increasing burden of mental fatigue．In such a situation，I work as hard as I can，then let the unconscious take over．36. Which of the following can be called an evil circle？A. Success-zeal-success-zeal．B. Failure-tiredness-failure-tiredness．C. Failure-zeal-failure-tiredness．D. Success-exhaustion-success-exhaustion．37. According to the passage，when keeping putting off a task，we can experience ________．A .tiredness B. performance fatigue C. start-up fatigue D. unconsciousness38. To overcome start-up fatigue，we need ________ ．A. toughnessB. preventionC. musclesD. strong willpower39. The word“insurmountable”in the last paragraph probably means ________ ．A. that can not be solvedB. that can not be understoodC. that can not be imaginedD. that can not be objected40. According to the passage，which of the following statements is NOT true？A. It is easier to overcome start-up fatigue．B. Performance fatigue occurs when the job we are willing to take gets blocked．C. One will finally succeed after experiencing the evil circle．D. Fatigue often accompanies fatigue．Part III Vocabulary and Structure (15 points)Directions: There are 30 incomplete sentences in this part.

This day was recognized by the General Assembly of the United Nations in 1999 with a view to raising public awareness of violations of the right of women. Why was this step necessary?In many cultures women are viewed and treated as inferior or as second class citizens. Prejudices against them are deep rooted. Gender base violence in all its forms is an ongoing problem, even in the so-called developed world. According to former UN Secretary General Kofi Annan,”violence against women is global in reach, and takes place in all societies and cultures. It affects women no matter what their race, social origin, birth or other status may be.”Radhika Coomaraswamy, UN expert of the Commission on Human Rights on violence against women, says in his report that for the vast majority of women, violence against women is “a taboo issue, invisible in society and a shameful fact of life.” Statistics issued by a victim study institution in Holland indicate that 23 percent of women in one South Amercian country, or about 1in 4, suffer some form of domestic violence. Likewise, the Council of Europe estimates that 1 in 4 European women suffer domestic violence during their lifetime. According to the British Home Office in England and Wales in one recent year, an average of two women each week were killed by current or former partners. The magazine India Today International reported that “for women across India, fear is constant companion and rape is the stranger they may have to confront at every corner, on any road, in any public place at any hour”. UN experts described violence against women and girl as “today’s most serious human rights challenge.”51. This passage is intended to __________.A. point out the root of violence against womenB. find solutions to violence against womenC. criticize the governments’ inaction about violence against womenD. make people better aware of violence against women52. The word “gender” in paragraph 2 is closest in meaning to “__________”.A. raceB. societyC. cultureD. sex53. According to former UN Secretary General Kofi Annan, violence against women could be widely found __________.A. in South American countriesB. in rich countriesC. in developing countriesD. across the world54. By “violence against women is a taboo issue”, Radhika Coomaraswamy means that the vast majority of women __________.A. turn a blind eye to the problemB. don’t want to talk about the problemC. turn a deaf ear to the problemD. have been accustomed to the problem55. According to the last paragraph, violence against women is __________.A. more serious in South American countriesB. more serious in European countriesC. equally serious in South American and European countriesD. less serious in developed countries56. According to the passage, women in India __________.A. often live in the fear of violence against themB. suffer more serious domestic violenceC. must have their companions everywhereD. are facing most serious human rights challengesPassage TwoWhen you think of monkeys, you probably think of the Tropics. Few species of monkeys venture into temperate lands. Nevertheless, there are one or two notable exceptions.In the high Atlas Mountains of North Africa, where snowfall is common during the winter, small groups of Barbary apes roam through forests of cedar and oak. One isolated group of these monkeys can be found 200 miles to the north, living on the Rock of Gibraltar, at the southern most tip of Europe.How do naturalists explain this mystery? Some believe that the monkeys colonized other areas of Europe in the distant past and that those of Gibraltar are the only surviving group. Others think that Arabic or British colonizers brought them to the Rock. Legend has it that the monkeys crossed the narrow straits dividing Europe from Africa by means of a long-lost underground tunnel. Whatever their origin, they are now the only free range monkeys. The Barbary apes inhabit the pine woods that cover the upper part of the Rock. Although they number only a hundred or so, they have become “the peninsula’s most famous resdents,” according to the International PrimateProtection League.Since seven million tourists visit Gibraltar every year, the mischievous monkeys have an ample food supply. Although they feed on wild plants, they have become skilled at begging and occasionally stealing food from visitors. Local authorities also provide the monkeys with fruit and vegetables.Apart from feeding, the monkeys spend 20 percent of their day grooming each other. Both male and females monkeys care for and play with the young ones. They live in close knit groups, where stress sometimes leads to confrontation. While the older monkeys use threats and screams to chase away the younger ones, they also have an unusual tooth-chattering behavior that seems to calm them down.Their arrival on Gibraltar may remain a mystery; still, these sociable monkeys add a special charm to the limestone headland that guards the entrance to the Mediterranean sea. Gibraltar would not be the same without them.57. The monkeys on the Rock of Gibraltar are special because __________.A. they live in tropic areasB. they inhabit temperate landsC. they live in forestsD. they came from North Africa58. Which of the following is NOT the possible origin of the Gibraltar monkey?A. They may be the surviving group of European.B. they may have been brought ot Gibraltar by colonizers.C. they may have come from Africa through the long- lost tunnel.D. they may have swum across the narrow straits from Africa.59. The population of “the peninsula’s most famous residents” __________.A. is growing rapidlyB. outnumbers the local peopleC. is threatened by too many visitorsD. is about five scores60. We canlearn from the 5th paragraph that Gibraltar monkeys __________.A. mainly feed on food from visitorsB. often threaten local touristsC. are very naughtyD. are raised by the local authorities61. The word “grooming” in the 6th paragraph is closest in meaning to “__________”.A. cleaningB. bitingC. fightingD. isolating62. According to the passage, __________.A. Gibraltar would be better without the monkeysB. the monkeys heve added beauty to the Rock of GibraltarC. Gibraltar monkeys and those in the high Atlas Mountains are of different speciesD. the older Gibraltar monkeys are very fierce to the younger onesPassage threeWhich would you give up: TV, Cell, or Web? From November 6 to December 3, a 1-question online poll was placed on high-traffic websites in 15 countries(Australia, Brazil, Canada, China, France, Germany, Gndia, Italy, N etherlands, Philippines, Russia, Singapore, Spain, United Kingdom, United States). A total of 150 respondents in each country participated in the poll. In this global survey, 11 of 15 countriessay they’d turn off the TV berfore they’d silence their cell phone or log off the Internet. Women,especially, will give up their favorite shows, voting to do so by a greater percentage than men in all but four countries. “I work 50-plus hours a week, and more importantly, the programs I watch on TV are free on the web.” Paula Kress of Georgia explains why she’d give up on TV.Younger respondents are more likely to take a pass on television, but older folks don’t necessarily stay stay away from the online experience. In Singapore, not a single person over 45 voted to stop surfing. “I’m not much for sitting in front of the screens, but I need the Internet to keep in touch with friends and family.” Hanna Larna explains why she’d keep the web and ditch TV.In the United States, people vited to give up TV, yet Americans sit in front of the flat screen for an average of four hours, 37minutes a day. But if the decision had been made by respondents over 45, the cell phone would have gotten the boot instead.In Canada people voted to give up the cell. The cost effect analysis shows that people there pay some of the highest rates for their cell phone plans, which may be why they have the lowest number of cell users among the western countries polled. “I don’t want to be reachable at every moment.”is another logical explanation.Why was Brazil the only country to pick the Internet (and by such a huge margin)? Brazil has some of the lowest rates of Internet use worldwide, with just 35 users per 100 people.(The U.S. and U.K. both have 72.) Brazil’s cost to hook up is also high, about $26a month, compared with $7.4in Germany.63. what is the most important reason for Paula Kress to give up TV?A. she doesn’t have time to watch TV.B. she doesn’t like sitting in front of screens.C. she can watch TV programs on the web.D. she finds online programs more interesting.64. Survey results in Singapore show that __________.A. women watch TV programs for a longer period of time than menB. men depend as much on cell phones as women doC. younger people use cell phones more than older peopleD. older people enjoy the Internet just like the younger ones65. Which of the following phrases is closest in meaning to “get the boot”(Para. 3)?A. be dismissedB. catch onC. be favoredD. become dominant66. It is implied that among the Americans polled, there were more __________.A. menB. womenC. younger peopleD. older people67. How many countries picked the cell phone in the survey?A. 2B. 3C. 4D. 568. In the last paragraph, the author mainly __________.A. describes the findings in the Brazilian surveyB. discusses the gap between Brazil and the western worldC. presents the reasons behind the Brazilian decisionD. analyzes the development of the Internet in BrazilPassage fourToday, world leaders are discussing climates change and what—if anything—can be done to combat global warming. Extreme weather conditions have brought home the fact that our climate is changing—and changing fast. It may be easy to be fatalistic about it, but the truth is that although we humans have caused the problem, we also have the solution. “Think global and act local,”said Friends of the Earth founder David Bower. In many small but important ways we can make a difference. Here are my top tips for how to begin:Count your food miles. What you eat and where you buy it affects global emissions. Pollution from transport is the fastest growing source of carbon dioxide emissions, so it is madness to fly out-of-season vegetables across the world to supermarkets. We should lobby supermarkets for a system of classifying food according to the distance travelled: 0 for local food, 1 for British, 2 for Europe, and 3 for intercontinental.Turn off anything that winks at you. A video recorder on standby uses almost as much electricity as one playing a tape. Turning down the thermostat by one degree, not leaving TV and music centres on standby, turning off lights,putting lids on cooking pots, and only half-filling kettles can cut energy consumption by 30%, saving your money as well as saving the planet.Just stop using petrol. Yes you can, and the cr industry may help you. Hydrogen-powered cars are loved by car designers and could become a reality in about 10 years. Meanwhile, consider converting to liquefied petroleum gas(LPG). You won’t be alone: a new pump for this is opening every day. Meanwhile, you can cut down on conventional petrol use just by changing driving habits—no rapid acceleration, lower speeds, keeping tires at the right pressure.Well, you can always walk. Or cycle. The majority of car journeys are less than five miles and, honestly, once you’ve stepped out, you’ll find it’s really not that bad. The only energy used is your own and that’s healthy. You only have th look at the collective strength of the people’s fuellobby to know this maked sense.These changes will save you money which you should invest in an ethical saving account. They are profitable and they put the pressure on business to clean up its act.69. In the first paragraph, the author tries to emphasize __________.A. his concern over climate changeB. his optimism in finding a way outC. the necessary of global actionsD. the difficulty in reaching an agreement70. Which conclusion can be drawn from paragraph 2 ?A. Centralized distribution of food is highly efficient and cost-effective.B. Organic food from abroad is better than food produced locally.C. Supermarkets do a great job of offering a wide selection of goods.D. It’s better for us consumers to shop in local farmers’ markets.71. In Paragraph 3 the author tries to convey the message that __________.A. small changes in small habits can make big differencesB. it is not easy for us to reduce energy consumption at homeC. the present way of using energy leaves much to be desiredD. we individuals may not help much in fighting global warming72. At presen, to replace petrol-driven cars, people may choose cars driven by _______.A, electricity B. LPG C. hydrogen D. biofuel73. For most of the car journeys, walking or cycling __________.A. is a waste of timeB. is undesirableC. is a feasible optionD. is what people prefer74. The passage is focused on __________.A. the passage of climate change on people’s livesB. the importance of individuals improving the environmentC. the benefits of cutting energy consumptionD. the small ways that can help fight global warmingPassage fiveSome years ago, thumping, jumping noises routinely issued from the apartment upstairs as if baby elephants were competing in the 50-year dash. I went up one day to politely inquire. “No, nobady’s making noise here”the husband and wife both insisted. It must be coming from elsewhere in the building.”Two children about five years old, each holding soccer balls, stood right beside their parents. “Could the thumping be your kids running around, perhaps playing soccer?”, I asked. “Oh no, we never let the kids play in the house.”For monhs, the pattern continued: the thumping and jumping above, our delicate check-in,the denial. It got so that every time I saw the couple, I glared without a word of greeting. When they moved out of the building, the thumping stopped.I suppose I could have forgiven my neighbors and spared them the glare. After all, forgiveness is in, a trend advocated by best-selling books, foundations and research institutes. The notion has gone well beyond spiritual leaders advising that forgiveness is good for the soul and that hard feelings will turn us bitter and hostile. Now the medical community cites studies showing that forgiveness can prevent heart attacks, lower blood pressure and even ease depression.I may be outnumbered, but I still believe in the healing power of the grudge(不满). I’ve deployed grudges with an equal-opportunity sense of fairness—against teachers and classmates,bosses and colleagues, family and friends. I’ve chosen to stop speaking to certain people permanently and occasionally even spoken ill of them—but more with disbelief than a sense of revenge. I’m neither proud nor ashamed. But I’ve discovered that nothing feels quitea as satisfying as a grudge well nursed.I’m not against forgiveness itself, I have forgiven people for rudeness as well as for deep misunderstandings and have done so without holding on to hard feelings. What I deplore is the propaganda about forgiveness. No longer an option, forgivensess is an official order. Forgiving so democratically cheapens the very act.A long standing grudge suggests that we hold certain standards, that we respect ourselves enough to reject bad behavior. Failure to forgive can be just as righteous, just as honorable as forgiveness itself.75. The author would probably describe the neighbors as __________.A. carelessB. dishonestC. ignorantD. immodest76. Paragraph 3 is focused on __________.A. how forgiveness is good for us spiritually and physicallyB. how forgiveness has become a fashionable conceptC. what has changed people’s understanding of forgivenessD. what is the true meaning and virtue of forgiveness77. By “I may be outnumbered”(Para. 4), the author means that most people in her situation would probably __________.A. tell people how bad the neighbors areB. refuse to speak to the neighborsC. try to practice forgiveness to the neighborsD. ask the neighbors for an explanation78. The author seems _________ what she always does with grudges.A. ashamed ofB. proud ofC. satisfied withD. disappointed with79. It can be learned that the author __________.A. has great difficulty forgiving peopleB. regrets failing to practice forgivenessC. wants to learn how to forgive peopleD. opposes “forgiveness without principle”80. The best title for the passage is __________.A. To Forgive is GodB. The Right Not to ForgiveC. Forgiveness in, Grudge outD. The Power of ForgivenessPART V 翻译(30 minutes, 20 points)Section A (15 minutes, 10 points)一、英译汉Job stress comes in different forms and affects your mind and body in different ways. Small thing can make you feel stressed, such as a copy machine that never seems to work when you need it or phones that won’t quit ringing. Major stress comes from having too much or not enough work or doing work that doesn’t satisfy you. Conflicts with your boss, coworkers, or customers are other major causes of stress.Section B (15 minutes, 10 points)二、汉译英几年来，北京部分地区的房价翻了两番，使许多年轻人买不起理想小区中的房子。
