I am not talking only about the times when you see her at school. She often has a book with her when she is shopping , riding in the car , going to see relatives, or doing just about anything where there might be an opportunity ( 机会) to read . Now , you might think Sally is a bookworm (书呆子) , but that would not be accurate because she also enjoys spending a lot of time with her friends and doing lots of different things . Very simply put , books are one of Sally’s main hobbies .People practice their hobbies in many different ways .Some people like to collect stamps , others like to listen to music or go to the movies , and still others like to travel and visit new places . Sally likes to read books --- many different kinds of books. When she finds a good book in the library , she usually borrows it to investigate (研究) more deeply . She also likes to go to a large bookstore near her home, where she can see all kinds of new books and sometimes buy one that she likes.Sally’s love of books has made it a lot easier for her to do well in school because, after all, you do have to read a lot of books in your classes. When Sally gets an assignment and has to read a chapter, it almost seems like she is practicing her hobby . The books she uses in her classes are written very clearly and are really quite interesting. The only different thing is that sometimes she has to do a written exercise for homework. To Sally that seems like a small price to pay for the opportunity to read another book about something new and interesting. As Sally has read so many books and learned so many new words, she usually only has to do an assigned reading once because she understands just about everything the first time through.1.What is Sally usually doing when you see her?A)She is shopping.B)She is riding in a car.C)She is carrying a book under her arm.D)She is reading in a classroom.2.Why is it not accurate to say that Sally is a bookworm?A)Because reading is just one of her hobbies.B)Because she practices her hobbies in very simple ways.C)Because books make her look like a student.D)Because she does everything better than other people.3.The writer talks about people’s different hobbies in the second paragraph in order to tellus________.A)how many hobbies there might be among different peopleB)that reading is something that everybody likes to doC)why Sally likes reading more than other hobbiesD)that reading is a healthier hobby than other hobbies4.Sally finds it easier for her to do well in school because __________.A)through reading she has learnt a lot alreadyB)the books she uses in her classes are interestingC)once she finishes a book , she never reads it againD)she pays a small price for the opportunity to read her books5. What does Sally not like to do according to the third paragraph?A) Fast reading. B) Reading assignments.C) Chapter questions. D) Written exercises.Task 2 (10%)Directions: Reading the following passages and choose the best answer for each of the questions.No matter how you look on paper, no matter how well you present yourself, no matter how well you answer their questions, you will not get the job unless you make a personal connection with the interviewer. I need to know from the very start that you are someone I can trust to represent my company and me. How do you establish that trust? Simple. At the very beginning of the interview, when the introductions are being made, concentrate on looking directly and solidly into the interviewers’ eyes, giving them your sweetest and most endearing smile. I tend to think of it as a “shy smile”. The bottom lin e is to make it a warm and friendly smile. Then think about the fact that you are truly pleased to be there in the presence of this person. Establish that personal connection both physically and mentally with the interviewer.How do you know when the connection is made? When they return your smile in a comfortable, relaxed manner, you are connected and ready to communicate on a personal level. Remember, I only hire people I am comfortable with. If the connection is not made, I won’t hire. So take the time t o establish that personal connection.6. Which of the following is the most important factor for you to get the job?A) To wear formally and tidily.B) To prepare a good paper and all the materials needed.C) To present myself as well as possible.D) To make a personal connection with the interviewer.7. Which of the following statements is TRUE?A) It is not necessary to make eye contact with the interviewer.B) If you want to be trusted, you should know much more information about the interviewer.C) If you want to get the job, you must make the interviewer trust you with personal connection.D) It is necessary to keep smiling during the interview.8. What’s the way about establishing the trust at the very beginning of the interview t he passage mentioned?A) To stare at the interviewers’ eyes straightly during the interview.B) To be a shy person and not to sit down unless being asked.C) To give the interviewer a warm and friendly smile.D) To be a polite person and try to persuade the interviewer with rich working experience.9. How do you know when the personal connection is made?A) When the interviewer asks the questions with a smile.B) When the interviewer smiles during the whole interview.C) When the interviewee smiles during the whole interview.D) When the interviewer returns the interviewee’s smile in a comfortable, relax manner.10.Which of the following would be the most proper title of the passage?A) How to Establish Personal Connection in an InterviewB) What You Should Do in an InterviewC) How an Interviewee Can Be HiredD) The Role of Personal CommunicationTask 3 (10%)Directions:Reading the following passages and choose the best answer for each of the questions.The entertainment profession, or “show business”, attracts many young people. Unfortunately, only very few can hope to become famous. Talent is not enough, because show business is as competitive as any other business. Without a good manager, a performer can never hope to succeed. Fashion is important in his business, too. The best tailor in the world will never be a success if he makes old-fashioned clothes. In exactly the same way, a performer must change his “act” in order to follow the taste of the moment. This is true for actors, dancers and comedians, but perhaps most of all for singers.“Pop” stands for “ popular”, and a pop singer has to work very hard to become popular. He must either give the public what they already want, or he must find a new way of singing that will attract their attention. Even when he has succeeded, and his records are sold everywhere, he cannot relax. Then he must work harder than ever to remain popular, because there are always younger singers trying to become famous and to steal some of the popularity.The life of a successful pop singer is not at all easy. He can only relax when he is alone, becauseeverything he does is watched and reported in the special newspaper written for the“fans”. The fans are the most important people in the world for the singer. They buy his records, they go to his concerts, and they make him rich and famous. But they can be very annoying, too. Sometimes they get so crazy that they do anything to get a “souvenir”. They steal handkerchiefs, they tear off buttons, and they even cut off pieces of the unfortunate singer’s hair.Many singers have been forced to hide, and some who have not been so lucky as to escape have been stripped practically naked by their fans. A pop singer has to spend a lot of money on clothes, because he must always look smart, or, at any rate, different. He must have a luxurious car. And most important he must always keep smiling for the benefit of his public.11. How many of the young can hope to become famous?A) Nobody. B) Only very few.C) The majority of them. D) All of them.12. Which of the following is the key element to become a successful performer?A) The age. B) Education background.C) A wealthy family. D) A good manager.13. Why must a pop singer work harder when he has become famous?A) To sell more records. B) To follow the taste of the moment.C) To stay popular. D) To attract the public’s attention.14. It may be inferred from this passage that_______ .A) a pop singer is afraid of meeting his fansB) some people become pop singers by chanceC) a pop singer sometimes is unwilling to meet peopleD) pop singers have to smile all the time15. A suitable title for this passage might be_______ .A) “The Entertainment Profession” B) “How to Become a Pop Singer”C) “A Pop Singer’s Life” D) “The Pop Singer”Task 4 (10%)Directions: Reading the following passages and choose the best answer for each of the questions.Dear Sir or Madam,The ABC Company was established in 2006 and in four short years has become one of the most successful companies in the market place. For this, we are pleased ,proud and grateful .We are pleased because our customers have confirmed our belief that if the products we offer are new, exciting, innovative and of excellent quality, they will be purchased.We are proud because we know we are a company that keeps its word to its customers; that guarantees that any product can be returned within 30 days if it proves to be unsatisfactory in any way; and that always lets our customers know if there is to be a delay in delivery.We are grateful to customers like you, because you confirm our beliefs that good service andquality result in satisfied customers.

With just a few clicks, we can connect with people from all over the world, access a vast amount of knowledge, and even shop for products online. However, this convenience comes with its own set of challenges. One of the biggest concerns is the potential for online fraud and identity theft. As more and more personal information is shared online, it is crucial to take steps to protect ourselves.One of the most effective ways to protect your identity online is to use strong, unique passwords for each of your accounts. Using the same password for multiple accounts can put you at risk if one of your accounts is compromised. Additionally, it is important to be cautious when sharing personal information online. Avoid posting sensitive information such as your full name, address, or social security number on social media platforms.Another important step to protect your identity online is to keep your computer and mobile devices updated with the latest security software. This will help to prevent malware and viruses from infecting your devices and compromising your personal information. It is also important to be aware of phishing scams, which are designed to trick you into providing personal information. Be cautious of emails or messages that ask for sensitive information and always verify the legitimacy of the sender before responding.While it is impossible to completely eliminate the risk of online fraud and identity theft, taking these steps can significantly reduce your chances of becoming a victim. By being proactive and informed, you can help protect yourself from the potential dangers of the internet.16. What is one of the biggest concerns mentioned in the passage?A.

They feel discouraged when the audience is unable to understand their presentations. That happens a lot especially when technical experts are invited to make a product presentation to a group of users.What can we do to make a business presentation easier to understand? In my view, good presentations have always been simple and visual. In an effective business presentation, the fewer the points, the better the message gets passed on. You focus on the depth of coverage instead of the width (广度) of coverage. Additionally, you make your ideas visual and relevant, so the message is understood better and remembered longer. Great business presenters relate their ideas and concepts to their audience by using simple, powerful diagrams instead of relying on text-based slides. In fact, drawing diagrams forces a presenter to make the idea clear even at the preparation stage. It is impossible to draw a diagram when you are not clear about an idea. When your idea is clear, it is easier to transfer it. Most audiences understand a diagram faster and remember it longer. This possibly explains why most of the memorable presentations have been visual in nature.1. Many speakers believe that the stronger their idea .A) the more powerful their speech will be B) the more meaningful their speech will beC) the more easily the audience will understand it D) the harder the audience will find it to follow2. Why are you advised to give fewer points in your presentation?A) To pass on the messages better.B) To avoid wasting too much time.C) To allow audience to take notes. D) To leave more time for questions.3. The speaker can help the audience remember the message longer by.A) displaying text-based slides B) avoiding long technical termsC) focusing on the width of coverage D) using simple and powerful diagrams4. The underlined word “transfer” in this passage most probably means .A) create B) pass on C) take off D) describe5. This passage is mainly about .A) how to make an effective business presentation B) how to present strong ideas in a presentation C) how to focus on the depth of coverage D) how to prepare a powerful diagramBIt is necessary for us to know the following four points if we want to learn a foreign language well.Firstly, we must be able to understand the language when we hear it spoken. Secondly, we must be able to speak it ourselves correctly with confidence and without hesitation. Thirdly, we must be able to read the language. Fourthly, we must be able to write it. We must be able to make sentences that are grammatically correct. We must know how to arrange sentences in paragraphs so as to write a good letter or composition.There is no easy way to succeed in language learning. A good memory is of great help, but it is not enough simply to memorize rules from a grammar book. It is not much use learning by heart long lists of words and their meanings. We learn words and their meanings not by ourselves, but in sentences. We must learn by using the language. “Learn through use” is a good piece of advice for those who are studying a new language. Practice is very important. We must practise speaking and writing the language whenever we can.6. The underlined word “confidence” in the first paragraph probably means .A) cleverness B) carelessness C) boldness D) belief in oneself7.

Here are some of the benefits we offer to get people away from the computer.●V acations: For the last three years in a row, we’ve worked with a professional travel agent to prepare different travel packages that employees could pick from as a holiday gift. Everything is paid for and included. Specific, pre-arranged trips —whether for a family to go to Disneyland or a couple to tour Spain —have helped make sure people actually take their vacations.● 4-day Summer Weeks: From May through October, everyone who’s been with the company for more than a year gets to work just four days in a week. This started out as “Friday’s off”, but roles like customer support and operations need to cover all hours.To come up with the best ideas, you need a fresh mind. These travel and time-off benefits help everyone stay sharp.11.

Now five years have passed 32 . To the family opposite my door, I am just a nodding neighbor, and to all the other dwellers, I am still a complete stranger who has nothing to do with their life and work.Whenever I see those well-educated people go upstairs, wearing cold masks, whenever I am33 at home since I have no friends to play with. I become more conscious 34 the warmth and love of my former neighborhood.It was a very small community of about a hundred families—so small that we knew about each other’s backgrounds quite well. I had so many friends since we grew up together from babyhood, and usually played 35 for the whole day.The happiest moment was at summer 36 , a small table for supper would appear before each other. After a short while, the supper began. The grown-ups started37 drinking and chatting and then eating while we kids ran here and there, eating and playing.Next door were the Xu’s. The hostess, Granny Sun, whose smile is a sweet memory in my childhood, could make the best butter I have 38 tasted. Even now, she often stops 39 my home now and then.But the fast city development has changed all these. The houses in my former neighborhood has long 40 been torn down. Instead, many tall and modern buildings have been set up there. But will such a day come again, when my neighborhood is full of love and warmth?31、A of B out C up D in32、A down B away C to D by33、A stayed B confined C required D prohibited34、A of B about C on D with35、A with B by C outdoors D up36、A mornings B dusks C dawns D noons37、A out B by C from D up38、A ever B never C thus D yet39、A by B to C at D from40 A time B long C since D before三、Reading Comprehension（30分，每题2分）Passage APerhaps you have heard a lot about the Internet. But what is it, do you know? The Internet is a network. It uses the telephone to join millions of computers together around the world.Maybe that doesn’t sound very interesting. But when you’re joined to the Internet, there are lots and lots of things you can do. You can send E-mails to your friends, and they can get them in a few seconds. You can also do with all kinds of information on the World Wide Web{www}.There are many different kinds of computers now. They all can be joined to the Internet. Mostof them are small machines sitting on people’s desks at home, but there are still many others in schools, offices or large companies. These computers are owned by people and companies, but no one really owns the Internet itself.There are lots of places for you to go into the Internet. For example, your school may have the Internet. You can use it during lessons or free time. Libraries often have computers joined to the Internet. You are welcome to use it at any time.Thanks to the Internet, the world is becoming smaller and smaller. It is possible for you to work at home with a computer in front, getting and sending the information you need. You can buy or sell whatever you want by the Internet. But do you know 98% of the information of the Internet is in English? So what will English be like tomorrow?41、What is the passage mainly about?A. InternetB. InformationC. ComputersD. E-mails42、Which is the quickest and cheapest may to send messages to your friends?A. By postB. By E-mailC. By telephonesD.

Most of the information is in English.D. Every computer must have the Internet.Passage BMore than 30000 drivers and front seat passengers are killed or seriously injured each year, At a speed of only 30 miles per hour it is the same as falling from a third-floor windows. Wearing a seat belt saves lives; it reduces your chance of death or serious injury by more than half.Therefore, drivers or front seat passengers over 14 in most vehicles must wear a seat belt. If you do not, you could be fined up to $50. It will not be up to the drivers to make sure you wear your belt.But it will be the driver’s responsibility to make sure that children under 14 do not ride in the front unless they are wearing a seat belt of some kind.However, you do not have to wear a seat belt if you are reversing your vehicle; or you are making a local delivery or collection using a special vehicle; or if you have a valid medical certificate which excuses you from wearing it, Make sure these circumstances apply to you before you decide not to wear your seat belt. Remember you may be taken to court for not doing so, and you may be fined if you cannot prove to the court that you have been excused from wearing it.46、This text is taken fromA a medical magazineB a police reportC a legal documentD a government information booklet47、Wearing a seat belt in a vehicle .A reduces road accidents by more than halfB saves lives while driving at a speed up to 30 miles per hourC reduces the death rate in traffic accidents2D saves more than 15000 lives each year48、It is the driver’s responsibility to .A make the front seat passenger wear a seat beltB make the front seat children under 14 wear a seat beltC stop children riding is the front seatD wear a seat belt each time he drive49、According to the text. Which of the following riding in the front does not have to wear a seat belt?A Someone who is backing the car into a spaceB Someone who is picking up the children from the local schoolC Someone who is delivering invitation letterD Someone who is under1450、For some people, it may be better .A to wear a seat belt for health reasonsB not to wear a seat belt for health reasonsC to get a valid medical certificate before wearing a seat beltD to pay a fine rather than wear a seat beltPassage CGenerally speaking, people want to keep a wild animal as a pet for one of many reasons: they want to impress other people by owning an unusual, uncommon animal as a pet. In no case is the happiness of the animal at the heart of the matter.If you do want to own a wild animal, for instance a fox( usually a little larger than your average house cat) , you have to take this test first: go to your nearest Humane Society Shelter(动物保护协会) and bring home a grown cat and a very active dog. Raise them and be with them, consider them your best friends. Do not leave them alone for more than 9 hours in any given day, do not hit them or shout at them; and do not abuse them in any way. If, after two years, both animals are alive and are still with you without your caging them or locking them in a part of your home most of day, then maybe you have what it takes to own a wild animal.If the test sounds stupid or unworkable, or if you just can’t bring yourself to stand such unlovable animals for two years, then you are not suited to owning a fox.The problem her is in the definition of the word pet. A pet is something you keep in your house or around your yard as a companion—a companion who is usually prevented from escaping one way or anther, Some animals—dogs and cats, will voluntarily stay with a human even if given the chance to get away. In this sense, dogs and cats are true pets. Please don’t make the life of some wild animals a living hell by trying to raise one as a pet.51、Which reason is true for people keeping a wild animal as a pet in the passage?A They want to show off to other peopleB Wild animals are orderlyC They just want to keep a wild animal for business purposeD They love wild animals heartily52、To pass the test, you must make it certain that .A you take the trying animals with you most of the timeB you are kind to the trying animalsC the trying animals are still in good condition in two yearsD all of the above53、It can be inferred that of all the animals mentioned in the passage a is the most difficult oneto keep as a pet.A wild pigB foxC tigerD dog54、According to the author, you can raise a wild animal if you .A think the test ridiculousB can’t bear dogs and catsC may work more than 9 hoursD may raise the trying animals well for 2 years55、What does the word “ hell” in the last sentence mean?A the miserable place after deathB A place of great sufferingC Sufferers in a miserable placeD Evil and dark forces四、Translation（20分，每小题2分）A) From Chinese into English(10分)(56)关于你的求职申请，我们会在三天之后给你答复。

But does one plastic straw or cup really make a difference? Artist Benjamin Von Wong wants you to know that it does. He builds massive sculptures out of plastic garbage, foreign viewers to re-examine their relationship to single-use plastic products.At the beginning of the year, the artist built a piece called“Strawpocalypse,” a pair of 10-foot-tall plastic waves, frozen mid-crash. Made of 168,000 plastic straws collectedfrom several volunteer beach cleanups, the sculpture made its first appearance at the Estella Place shopping center in Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam.Just 9% of global plastic waste is recycled. Plastic straws are by no means the biggest source (来源)of plastic pollution, but they’ve recently come under fire because most people don’t need them to drink with and, because of their small size and weight, they cannot be recycled. Every straw that' s part of Von Wong's artwork likely came from a drink that someone used for only a few minutes. Once the drink is gone, the straw will take centuries to disappear.In a piece from 2018, Von Wong wanted to illustrate (说明) a specific statistic: Every 60 seconds, a truckload's worth of plastic enters the ocean. For this work, titled "Truckload of Plastic, "Von Wong and a group of volunteers collected more than 10,000 pieces of plastic, which were then tied together to look like they’d been dumped(倾倒)from a truck all at once.Von Wong hopes that his work will also help pressure big companies to reduce their plastic footprint.35. What are Von Wong’s artworks intended for? [单选题] *A. Beautifying the city he lives in.B. Introducing eco-friendly products.C. Drawing public attention to plastic waste.(正确答案)D. Reducing garbage on the beach.36. Why does the author discuss plastic straws in paragraph 3? [单选题] *A. To show the difficulty of their recycling.(正确答案)B. To explain why they are useful.C. To voice his views on modern art.D. To find a substitute for them.37. What effect would "Truckload of Plastic" have on viewers? [单选题] *A. Calming.B. Disturbing(正确答案)C RefreshingD. Challenging.38. Which of the following can be the best title for the text? [单选题] *A. Artists' Opinions on Plastic SafetyB. Media Interest in Contemporary ArtC. Responsibility Demanded of Big CompaniesD. Ocean Plastics Transformed into Sculptures(正确答案)BDuring an interview for one of my books, my interviewer said something I still think about often. Annoyed by the level of distraction(干扰)in his open office, he said, “That’s why I have a membership at the co working space across the street —so I can focus. "His comment struck me as strange. After all, co working spaces also typically use an open office layout (布局). But I recently came across a study that shows why his approach worksThe researchers examined various levels of noise on participants as they completed tests of creative thinking. They were randomly divided into four groups and exposed to various noise levels in the background, from total silence to 50 decibels(分贝),70 decibels, and 85 decibels. The differences between most of the groups were statistically insignificant; however, the participants in the 70 decibels group—those exposed to a level of noise similar to background chatter in a coffee shop-significantly outperformed the other groups. Since the effects were small, this may suggest that our creative thinking does not differ that much in response to total silence and 85 decibels of background noise. But since the results at 70 decibels were significant, the study also suggests that the right level of background noise—not too loud and not total silence—may actually improve one’s creative thinking ability. The right level of background noise may interrupt our normal patterns of thinking just enough to allow our imaginations to wander, without making it impossible to focus. This kind of "distracted focus" appears to be the best state for working on creative tasks.So why do so many of us hate our open offices? The problem may be that, in our offices, we can't stop ourselves from getting drawn into others’ conversations while we’re trying to focus. Indeed, the researchers found that face-to-face interactions andconversations affect the creative process, and yet a co working space or a coffee shop provides a certain level of noise while also providing freedom from interruptions. 39. Why does the interviewer prefer a co working space? [单选题] *A. It helps him concentrate.(正确答案)B. It blocks out background noise.C. It has a pleasant atmosphere.D. It encourages face-to-face interactions.40. Which level of background noise may promote creative thinking ability? [单选题] *A. Total silence.B. 50 decibels.C. 70 decibels.(正确答案)D. 85 decibels.41. What makes an open office unwelcome to many people? [单选题] *A. Personal privacy unprotected.B. Limited working space.C. Restrictions on group discussion.D. Constant interruptions.(正确答案)42.What can we infer about the author from the text? [单选题] *A. He's a news reporter.B. He’s on office manager.C. He's a professional designer.D. He's a published writer.(正确答案)CWhen you were trying to figure out what to buy for the environmentalist on your holiday list, fur probably didn’t cross your mind. But some ecologists and fashion (时装)enthusiasts are trying to bring back the market for fur made from nutria(海狸鼠).Unusual fashion shows in New Orleans and Brooklyn have showcased nutria fur made into clothes in different styles. “It sounds crazy to talk about guilt-free fur-unless you understand that the nutria are destroying vast wetlands every year”, says Cree McCree, project director of Righteous Fur.Scientists in Louisiana were so concerned that they decided to pay hunters $5 a tail. Some of the fur ends up in the fashion shows like the one in Brooklyn last month.Nutria were brought there from Argentina by fur farmers and let go into the wild. “The ecosystem down there can’t handle this non-native species(物种).It’s destroying the environment. It’s them or us.” says Michael Massimi, an expert in this field.The fur trade kept nutria in check for decades，but when the market for nutria collapsed in the late 1980s，the cat-sized animals multiplied like crazy.Biologist Edmond Mouton runs the nutria control program for Louisiana. He says it’s not easy to convince people that nutria fur is green, but he has no doubt about it. Hunters bring in more than 300,000 nutria tails a year, so part of Mouton’s job these days is trying to promote fur.Then there’s Righteous Fur and its unusual fashion. Model Paige Morgan says，”To give people a guilt-free option that they can wear without someone throwing paint on them-1 think that’s going to be a massive thing, at least here in New York.” Designer Jennifer Anderson admits it took her a while to come around to the opinion that using nutria fur for her creations is morally acceptable. She trying to come up with a label to attach to nutria fashions to show it is eco-friendly.43. What is the purpose of the fashion shows in New Orleans and Brooklyn? [单选题] *A. To promote guilt-free fur.(正确答案)B. To expand the fashion market.C. To introduce a new brand.D. To celebrate a winter holiday.44. Why are scientists concerned about nutria? [单选题] *A. Nutria damage the ecosystem seriously.(正确答案)B. Nutria are an endangered species.C. Nutria hurt local cat-sized animals.D. Nutria are illegally hunted.45. What does the underlined word “collapsed” in paragraph 5 probably mean? [单选题] *A. Boomed.B. Became mature.C. Remained stable.D. Crashed.(正确答案)46. What can we infer about wearing fur in New York according to Morgan? [单选题] *A. It’s formal.B. It’s risky.(正确答案)C. It’s harmful.D. It’s traditional.DI have a special place in my heart for libraries. I have for as long as I can remember. I was always an enthusiastic reader, sometimes reading up to three books a day as a child. Stories were like air to me and while other kids played ball or went to parties, I lived out adventures through the books I checked out from the library.My first job was working at the Ukiah Library when I was 16 years old .It was a dream job and I did everything from shelving books to reading to the children for story time.As I grew older and became a mother, the library took on a new place and an added meaning in my life. I had several children and books were our main source(来源) of entertainment. It was a big deal for us to load up and go to the local library, where my kids could pick out books to read or books they wanted me to read to them.I always read ,using different voices ,as though I were acting out the stories with my voice and they loved it !It was a special time to bond with my children and it filled them with the wonderment of books .Now, I see my children taking their children to the library and I love that the excitement of going to the library lives on form generation to generation.As a novelist, I’ve found a new relationship with libraries. I encourage readers to go to their local library when they can’t afford to purchase a book. I see libraries as a safe haven(避风港) for readers and writers, a bridge that helps put together a reader with a book. Libraries, in their own way, help fight book piracy(盗版行为) and 1 think all writers should support libraries in a significant way when they can. Encourage readers to use the library.

大学英语(A)模拟试卷(附参考答案)
大学英语（A）模拟试卷（附参考答案）Information for the Examinees:This examination consists of FOUR parts. They are:Section I: Reading Comprehension (30 points, 25 minutes)Section II: Vocabulary and Grammar (30 points, 25 minutes)Section III: Translation (20 points, 10 minutes)Section IV: Writing (20 points, 30 minutes)The total score for this examination is 100. The time allowed for this examination is 90 minutes.Section I: Reading Comprehension [30 points]Instructions:Ø This section will take approximately 25 minutes.Ø There are TWO sections in this part.Part 1: Questions 1-5 are based on this part. (15 points)Read the following passage and choose the best answer from A, B, C and D.Most young people enjoy some form of physical activity. It may bewalking, cycling or swimming, or in winter, skating or skiing. It may be game of some kind, football, hockey, golf, or tennis. It may be mountaineering.Those who have a passion for climbing high and difficult mountains are often looked upon with astonishment. Why are men and women willing to suffer cold and hardship, and to take risks on high mountains? This astonishment is caused probably by the difference between mountaineering and other forms of activity to which men give their leisure.Mountaineering is a sport and not a game. There are no man-made rules, as there are for such games as golf and football. There are, of course, rules of a different kind which it would be dangerous to ignore, but it is this freedom from man-made rules that makes mountaineering attractive to many people. Those who climb mountains are free to use their own methods.If we compare mountaineering and other more familiar sports, we might think that one big difference is that mountaineering is not a 'team game'. We should be mistaken in this. There are, it is true, no 'matches' between 'teams' of climbers, but when climbers are on a rock face linked by a rope on which their lives may depend, there is obviously teamwork. The mountain climber knows that he may have to fight forces that are stronger and more powerful than man. He has to fight the forces ofnature. His sport requires high mental and physical qualities. A mountain climber continues to improve in skill year after year. A skier is probably past his best by the age of thirty, and most international tennis champions are in their early twenties. But it is not unusual for man of fifty or sixty to climb the highest mountains in Alps. They may take more time than younger men, but they probably climb with more skill and less waste of effort, and they certainly experience equal enjoyment.1. Mountaineering involves ______.A. coldB. hardshipC. physical riskD. all of the above2. The difference between a sport and a game has to do with the kind of ______.A. activityB. rulesC. uniformD. participants3. Mountaineering can be called a team sport because ______.A. it is an Olympic eventB. teams compete against each otherC. mountaineers depend on others while climbingD. there are 5 climbers on each team4. Mountaineers compete against ______.A. natureB. each otherC. other teamsD. international standards5. Which of the following is probably the best title for the passage?______.A. Mountaineering is different from golf and footballB. Mountaineering is more attractive than other sportsC. MountaineeringD. Mountain climbersPart 2: Questions 6- 10 are based on this part. (15 points)Read the following passage and choose the best answer from A, B, C and D.Remember global warming? Back in December, the threat of climate change was thundering and the rich countries agreed to cut their carbon-dioxide and other green-house-related emissions. Since then, interest has cooled markedly, and many European countries are alreadyrunning away from the promises they made so loudly a few months ago. But there has been much talk, and a bit of action, to encourage renewable energies such as wind, hydro, solar and all living organisms. These emit no greenhouse gases, but tend to cost more than coal, oil or gas.The better, simpler idea is to remember that the easiest way to reduce something is to tax it - in this case, by taxing the carbon content power. The dirtier the power, the more tax would be charged. So dirty coal would be more expensive than clean energy, so coal would see its price rise in relation to oil, which would be more expensive compared with gas, which would lose some of its price advantage over renewables.Unless a carbon tax was so huge as to be economically crippling, it would not remove the price differential between all renewables and fossil fuels. But it would narrow that gap, by fixing the differing environmental costs into the price - a useful principle in itself. It would also give renewable producers a strong incentive to cut costs, and fossil-fuel suppliers the motivation to clean their products.Precedents suggest strongly that a carbon tax would be effective. But the disadvantage to carbon tax is political. After almost a decade of trying, the European Union gave up an attempt at a European carbon tax last year. Germany's ruling coalition is fighting against a proposed energy tax. In America, politicians believe that even mentioning the notion iscertain death. But many of the political objections could be met if a carbon tax were made up for the loss elsewhere, for example by lowering payroll or sales taxes. There is always suspicion when governments come up with clever new ways to tax, and rightly so. The response to that suspicion should be to win the argument, not to abandon it.6. According to the passage, the easiest way to remove global warming is ___________.A. to encourage people to use renewable energiesB. to cut down the cost of wind, hydro, solar and all living organismsC. to force people to pay more tax for the carbon content of powerD. to talk less but act more7. The standard of paying tax was _________.A. that the more carbon content of power it contained, the higher tax one would payB. that oil would be more expensive than clean coalC. that renewables would be most expensive of allD. in the order that renewables are the most expensive while clean coal the cheapest8. We can infer from the passage that carbon tax ___________.A. may not be as effective as people expectB. has encouraged renewable producers to cut costsC. has reduced consumption of the carbon content energy successfullyD. couldn't be that effective if fossil fuels would not be forbidden9. The underlined word "crippling" (Para. 3) most probably means _________.A. greatly increasingB. seriously weakeningC. sharply decliningD. abruptly halting10. The reason why many countries stopped introducing carbon tax eventually was mainly that ___________.A. governments had tried to put it into effect for many years but with no obvious resultB. if one country made up the loss by paying the carbon tax, other countries would follow itC. governments were afraid of being suspected if they adopted the new taxD. governments had been discussing what to do with carbon tax for a long time, but they didn’t believe it themselves.Section II: Vocabulary and Grammar [30 points]Instructions:Ø This section will take 25 minutes.Ø There are TWO parts in this section.Part 1: Questions 11- 20 are based on this section.

You might say, "I'm 25," and then change the subject.If someone asks you about your income, you can say, "I'm doing well," or "I'm doing okay." You don't have to give a specific amount.When it comes to personal relationships, it is considered impolite to ask about someone's marital status or their children. For example, you should not ask someone, "Are you married?" or "Do you have children?" These questions can make the other person feel uncomfortable.However, if someone asks you about your hobbies, you can talk about them freely.

Many people believe that technology has brought many benefits, such as convenience, efficiency, and access to information. However, others argue that technology has negative effects on our health, social relationships, and mental well-being.One of the main concerns about technology is its impact on our physical health. Spending too much time in front of screens can lead to eye strain, neck and back pain, and even obesity. Additionally, excessive use of technology can disrupt our sleep patterns and lead to sleep deprivation.Another issue is the impact of technology on our social relationships. While technology allows us to stay in touch with friends and family, it can also lead to isolation and loneliness. Many people spend more time on their phones and computers than they do interacting with others in person.Furthermore, technology can have a negative impact on our mental well-being. Constant exposure to social media can lead to feelings of inadequacy and anxiety. Additionally, the use of video games and other forms of entertainment can lead to addiction and a lack of motivation.Despite these concerns, many people argue that the benefits of technology outweigh the negatives. They believe that technology can help us live more productive and fulfilling lives.16. What is the main topic of the passage?A. The benefits of technologyB. The negative effects of technologyC.

新视野大学英语3期中考试A卷
Part II. Reading Comprehension (20 points)Passage OneAs we consider what makes one man better than the other, let’s look at two examples. The first example is a man who has a good job, a healthy body, and a loving family. His success is due to good decisions. He chose the correct subjects to study when he was at the university. Now that he’s out of school, he always schedules his time well so that he can get everything done at the proper time. He exercises and eats well, as he understands the benefits of this. In addition, in order to achieve happiness in the home, he spends time with his family and makes sure they all have when they need. On the other hand, the second man is something less than the successful person the first man is. What’s wrong with h im?Good sense is the ability to know what is true or right from what is not true or wrong. And some people might think that the second lacks good sense. However, the person who thinks this is mistaken. Actually, since everyone has the same amount of good sense, the first man does not have an advantage over the second in this respect. The second man has a good mind, and he has the ability to judge things well.The second man runs into trouble, because he directs his thought along a different path. He considers other things, different from the first man. The problem is that he does not apply his mind rightly, as does the first one. Thus, he is not capable of advancing further than he does.When you consider what you want out of life, think about the results of your decisions. Apply your mind well so that good things will come about and so that you are not left regretting your actions.21. During his university years, the first man ________.A. scheduled his time to get everything done.B. learned how to apply his mind rightly.C. ate right and did exercise regularly.D. chose things that made him successful later.22. The first man is fully aware of the good things that will result from _______.A. making good decisions during one’s uni versity studies.B. scheduling his time so that he can get everything done.C. taking care of his body with diet and exercise.D. being a successful person with a good family life.23. One’s ability to judge right or wrong is called _______.A. beneficial considerationB. thought directionC. successful thinkingD. good sense24. To keep from wishing you made a different choice, you should ________.A. get more out of lifeB. develop more good senseC. judge things right or wrongD. put good thought into your actions25. The main topic of this passage is ________.A. people are equalB. applying thought well will helpC. some people are not successfulD. people must judge things well Passage TwoIn 1848, gold was discovered in California; from all over the nation, thousands of young men set out for California. People called “this”the time of the Gold Rush.A gold miner came into a city looking for a pair of pants. He wanted pants strong enough to stand up to the rough work of mining. He met a young man named Levi, who sold heavy cloth for tents and wagon tops. They asked a tailor to use heavy cloth for their pants. Then Levi went into the business of making work pants. He asked his brothers to send him some strong blue cotton cloth called denim (斜纹粗棉布). With this blue denim cloth, Levi started making the kind of pants we call blue jeans today. They were sewed up in the same way as other pants.In 1860, a miner said that the pockets weren't strong enough to hold the pieces of gold he found. The pockets kept falling off the pants. The cloth was all right. It was the thread that wasn't strong enough. So Levi used rivets (铆钉) to attach the pockets onto the pants.Cowboys needed tough pants, too. They liked their pants to fit tightly. But the rivets marked the cowboys' saddles. So Levi covered the rivets with cloth. Then everybody was happy.26. This article as a whole is about ___________.A. how people got blue jeansB. the Gold Rush in CaliforniaC. How blue jeans are madeD. The kind of pants cowboys' wear27. While not stated in the article, you can tell that ___________.A. everybody who went to California got a lot of goldB. Levi found riches in the gold fieldsC. Levi sold more jeans to cowboys than to gold minersD. Levi made more money than many gold miners28. The word “this” in the last sentence of the first paragraph refers to __________.A. CaliforniaB. the discovery of goldC. many people looking for goldD. the nation at this time29. Levi used strong blue cotton cloth to make pants because __________.A. gold miners liked the blue colorB. this was the only cloth he hadC. miners wanted pants which could stand rough workD. cowboys liked their pants to fit tightly30. Which of the following sentences is NOT true?A. It was Levi who started the business of making blue jeans.B. It was one tailor who started making blue jeans.C. It was in California that blue jeans first became popular.D. It was in California that gold was discovered.Passage ThreeAfter having lived for over twenty years in the same district, Albert Hall was forced to move to a new neighborhood. He surprised his landlord by telling him that he was leaving because he could not afford to buy any more chocolate.It all began a year ago when Albert Hall returned home one evening and found a large dog in front of his gate. He was very fond of animals and as he happened to have a small piece of chocolate in his pocket, he gave it to the dog. The next day, the dog was there again. It held up its paws (爪子) and received another piece of chocolate as a reward. Albert called his new friend "Bingo". He never found out the dog's real name, nor who his owner was.However, Bingo appeared regularly every afternoon and it was quite clear that he liked chocolate more than bones. He soon grew dissatisfied with small pieces of chocolate and demanded a large piece a day. If at any time Albert couldn't give it, Bingo got very angry and refused to let him open the gate. Albert was now at Bingo's mercy and had to "buy him" to get into his own house! He spent such a large part of his money to keep Bingo supplied with chocolate that in the end he had to move somewhere else.31.

In fact, something far more threatening was at hand, as the Americans were telling Stalin at Potsdam.In 1939 physicists in the United States had learned of experiments in Germany demonstrating the possibility of atomic power and understood the potential damage of an atomic bomb. On August 2, 1939, Albert Einstein warned President Roosevelt of the danger of Nazi Germany's advances in development of the atomic bomb. Eventually, the U. S. Office of Scientific Research Development was created in June 1941 and given combined responsibility with the War Department in the Manhattan Project to develop a nuclear bomb. After four years of intensive research and development efforts, an atomic device was set off on July 16, 1945, in a desert area at Alamogordo, New Mexico, generating an explosive power equal to that of more than 15,000 tons of TNT. Thus, the atomic bomb was born. Truman, the new U.S. president, believed that this terrible object might be used to defeat Japan in a way less costly of U. S. lives than a conventional invasion of the Japanese homeland. Japan's unsatisfactory response to the Allies' Potsdam Declaration decided the matter.On August 6,1945, an atomic bomb carried from Tinian Island in the Marianas in a specially equipped B-29 was dropped on Hiroshima, at the southern end of Honshu. The combined heat and blast destroyed everything in the explosion's immediate neighborhood, generated spontaneous fires that burned out almost 4.4 square miles completely, and killed between 70,000 and 80,000 people, in addition to injuring more than 70,000 others. A second bomb, dropped on Nagasaki on August 9, killed between 35,000 and 40,000 people, injured a like number, and ruined 1.8 square miles.36.What is the main idea of the passage?A . An atomic device was developed after much work was done.B . The birth and use of the atomic bomb ended the second world war.C . An invasion was about to take place with the use of atomic bombs.D . An atomic bombs was dropped on the cites of Hiroshima and Nagasaki.37.What was the danger AE had warned R about?A . The danger of Nazi Germany’s advances in the development of atomic bombs.B . The possibility of atomic power being used against Nazi Germany or Japan.C . Japan’s response to the Allies’ Potsdam Declaration during World War Two.D . The destruction of everything from the explosion of the atomic bomb in Japan.38.What was the U.S. Office of SRD created for?A . To give a partner to the war department in the Manhattan Project.B .

However, this abundance of information has also brought about a new challenge: information overload. Many people find themselves overwhelmed by the sheer volume of data and struggle to filter out what is relevant and useful.One solution to this problem is to develop better information management skills. This involves several key steps:1. Identify your goals: Before you start gathering information, it is important to have a clear understanding of what you are looking for. This will help you focus your search and avoid getting sidetracked.2. Use search tools effectively: There are many search engines and databases available that can help you find the information you need.Learn how to use these tools effectively to narrow down your search results.3. Evaluate the credibility of sources: Not all information is reliable. It is important to critically evaluate the sources of information you come across. Look for signs of credibility, such as author expertise, publication date, and references.4. Organize your information: Once you have gathered the information, it is important to organize it in a way that makes sense to you. This could involve creating folders, using a note-taking app, or simply keeping a list of sources.5. Limit your time spent on information gathering: It is easy to get caught up in the process of gathering information. Set a timer to remind yourself to take breaks and avoid spending too much time on any single source.By following these steps, you can effectively manage the information overload and ensure that you are getting the most out of the digital resources available to you.31.
