"They're expected to be rebellious and selfish but actually they have other things on their minds;they want a car and material goods,and they worry about whether school is serving them well.There's more negotiation and discussion between parents and children,and children expect to take part in the family decision-making process.They don't want to rock the boat."So it seems that this generation of parents is much more likely than parents of30years ago to treat their children as friends."My parents are happy to discuss things with me and willing to listen to me,"says17-year-old Daniel Lazall,"I always tell them when I'm going out clubbing.As long as they know what I'm doing,they're fine with it."Susan Crome,who is now21, agrees."Looking back on the last10years,there was a lot of what you could call negotiation.For example,as long as f d done all my homework,I could go out on a Saturday night.But I think my grandparents were a lot stricter with my parents than that."Maybe this positive view of family life should not be unexpected.It is possible that the idea of teenage rebellion is not rooted in real facts.A researcher comments,"Our surprise that teenagers say they get along well with their parents comes because of a brief period in our social history when teenagers were regarded as different beings.But that idea of rebelling and breaking away from their parents really only happened during that one time in the1960s when everyone rebelled.The normal situation throughout history has been a smooth change from helping out with the family business to-taking it over."6.What is the popular image of teenagers today?A.They worry about school.B.They dislike living with their parents.C.They have to be locked in to avoid trouble.D.They quarrel a lot with other family.7.The study shows that teenagers don't want to______.A.share family responsibilityB.cause trouble in their familiesC.go boating with their familyD.make family decisionspared with parents of30years ago,today"s parents______.A.go to clubs more often with their childrenB.are much stricter with their childrenC.care less about their children's lifeD.give their children more freedom9.According to the author,teenage rebellion______.A.may be a false beliefB.is common nowadaysC.existed only in the1960sD.resulted from changes in families10.What is the passage mainly about?A.Negotiation in family.cation in family.C.Harmony in family.D.Teenage trouble in family.Passage3Nowadays,a standard for measuring power has changed.These changes foretell a newstandard for measuring power.No longer will a nation's political influence be based solely on the strength of its military forces.Of course,military effectiveness will remain a primary measure of power.But political influence is also closely tied to industrial competitiveness.It's often said that without its military the Soviet Union would really be a third-world nation.The new standard of power and influence that is evolving now places more emphasis on the ability of a country to compete effectively in the economic markets of the world.America must recognize this new course of events.Our success in shaping world events over the past40years has been the direct result of our ability to adapt technology and to take advantage of the capabilities of our people for the purpose of maintaining peace.Our industrial prowess over most of this period was unchallenged.It is ironic that it is just this prowess that has enabled other countries to prosper and in turn to threaten our industrial leadership.The competitiveness of America's industrial base is an issue bigger than the Department of Defense and is going to require the efforts of the major institutional forces in our society-government,industry,and education.That is not to say that the Defense Department will not be a strong force in the process because we will.But we simply cannot be,nor should be,looked upon by others as the savior of American industry.11.Now a nation's political influence depends on.A.the strength of its military forcesB.its ability to compete in industryC.economic marketsD.both A and B12.The Soviet Union was not listed as a third-world nation just because of.A.its powerful military forcesB.its vast landC.its industrial competitivenessD.its contributions to world peace13.The author indicates that is threatening American political power.A.other countriesB.the declining U.S.industrial baseC.a new standard for measuring powerD.less advanced technology14.America succeeded in shaping world events over past40years probably because of.A.its ability to adapt technologyB.its ability to take advantage of the capabilities of its peopleC.its ability to compete in the world marketsD.both A and B15.The purpose of writing this article is.A.to draw the readers'attention to a new standard for measuring powerB.to demonstrate American political influence in the worldC.to emphasize that efforts must be made to strengthen the declining U.S.industrial baseD.to show American industrial prowessPassage4Diana Jacobs thought her family had a workable plan to pay for college for her21-year-old twin sons:a combination of savings,income,scholarships,and a modest amount of borrowing. Then her husband lost his job,and the plan fell apart."I have two kids in college,and I want to say`come home,'but at the same time I want to provide them with a good education,"says Jacobs.The Jacobs family did work out a solution:They asked and received more aid from the schools,and each son increased his borrowing to the maximum amount through the federal loanprogram.They will each graduate with$20,000of debt,but at least they will be able to finish school.With unemployment rising,financial aid administrators expect to hear more families like the Jacobs.More students are applying for aid,and more families expect to need student loans. College administrators are concerned that they will not have enough aid money to go around.At the same time,tuition continues to rise.A report from the National Center for Public Policy and Higher Education found that college tuition and fees increased439%from1982to 2007,while average family income rose just147%.Student borrowing has more than doubled in the last decade,"If we go on this way for another25years,we won't have an affordable system of higher education,"says Patrick M.Callan,president of the center."The middle class families have been financing it through debt.They will send kids to college whatever.it takes,even if that means a huge amount of debt."Financial aid administrators have been having a hard time as many companies decide that student loans are not profitable enough and have stopped making them.The good news,however, is that federal loans account for about three quarters of student borrowing,and the government says that money will flow uninterrupted.16.According to Paragraph1,why did the plan of Jacobs family fail?A.The twins wasted too much money.B.The father was out of work.C.Their savings ran out.D.The family fell apart.17.How did the Jacobs manage to solve their problem?A.They asked their kids to come home.B.They borrowed$20,000from the school.C.They encouraged their twin sons to do part-time jobs.D.They got help from the school and the federal government.18.Financial aid administrators believe that_______.A.more families will face the same problem as the JacobsesB.the government will receive more letters of complaintC.college tuition fees will double soonD.America’s unemployment will fall19.What can we learn about the middle class families from the text?A.They blamed the government for the tuition increase.B.Their income remained steady in the last decade.C.They will try their best to send kids to college.D.Their debts will be paid off within25years.20.According to the last paragraph,the government will_______.A.provide most students will scholarshipsB.dismiss some financial aid administratorsC.stop the companies from making student loansD.go on providing financial support for college studentsHave you eaten too much over the holidays?You should try fidgeting for a while.Those around you might not like it,but scratching(moving your nails against a part of your body)and twitching(moving suddenly and quickly when you don't want to)is an important way of burning up calories.American researchers have found that some people's squirming(continuously turn your body when nervous)and wigging(move in small movements,especially from side to side)equals several miles of slow running each day.The scientists,based at the National Institute of Health's laboratory in Phenix,Arizona,are studying why some people get fat and other stay slim.In one study177people each spent24hours in a room in the institute where the amount of energy is measured by their oxygen and carbon dioxide levels.By the end of the day,some people had burned up800calories in toe-tapping,(moving the front part of your foot up and down) finger-drumming(hitting your fingers continuously and lightly against something hard)and other nervous habits.However,others had burned up only100calories.The researchers found that slim women fidget more than fat women,but there was no significant difference in men.Heavy people burn up more energy when they fidget than do thin people.21.Which of the following can be used to explain the meaning of"fidgeting"?A.scratching and twitchingB.squirming and wiggingC.slow runningD.moving one's body nervously22.We can know from the passage that scientists believe the reason why some people get fat andother people stay slim is that_______.A.thin people burn up less calories than fat peopleB.fat people burn up more calories than thin peopleC.those who burn up more calories than others will be thinnerD.those who fidget more than others will be thinner23.Scientists found in the experiment that_______.A.the energy burned up by fat people when they fidget was more than that burned up by thinpeople when they fidgetB.some people's fidgeting burned up more than800calories,but some people's fidgetingburned up less than100caloriesC.slim women fidget more than fat women but fat men fidget more than thin menD.thin men fidget more than fat men24.If someone is thin in a pleasant way,we say they are_______.A.skinnyB.bonyC.slimD.underweight25.Scientists think a fidget habit to be_______.A.a way to lose fatB.a nervous habit annoying the people aroundC.a better exercise than slow runningD.a habit of thin peopleThere are many ways of defining success.It is accurate to say that each of us has our own concept of success to the extent that each of us is responsible for setting our own goals and determining whether we have met these goals satisfactorily.Because each of us possesses unique differences in genetic ability and favorable environments in which to express these abilities,it is necessarily true that we must define success broadly.For some people,simply being able to live their life with a minimum of misery and suffering is considered a success.Think of the peace of mind of the poor shepherd who tends his sheep, enjoys his frugal life with his family in the beauty of nature,and who is respected because he does a good job of achieving the goals expected of and accepted by his and his society.On the other hand,it seems that even though some people appear to be rich in material possessions,many of them seem to be miserable and consider themselves unsuccessful when judged by their own standards of success.Because not all ventures can be successful,one should not set unrealistic goals for achieving success,but if one has self-confidence it would be unfortunate to set one's goals at too low a level of achievement.A wise counselor once said to a young man who was experiencing frustration with his own professional success:"You do not have to set your goal to reach the moon in order to have success in traveling.Sometimes one can be very successful merely by taking a walk in the park or riding the subway downtown,"The counselor added,”You have not really failed and spoiled your chances for success until you have been unsuccessful at something you really like,and to which you have given you best effort."26.In the first paragraph,the author implies that_______are essential in achieving success.A.ability and goalsB.goals and determinationC.ability and environmentD.goals and environment27.The word"frugal"(Line2,Para.2)means_______.A.wealthyB.wastefulC.thriftyD.miserable28.Some rich people consider themselves unsuccessful because_______.A.their life is miserableB.they do not live in peaceC.their goals are too lowD.they are not rich enough by their own standards.29.The last paragraph implies that_______.A.we should have high goalsB.success means achieving great goalsC.success means taking a walk in the parkD.success means trying one's best at what one really likes30.This passage mainly talks about_______.A.the definition of successB.how to achieve successC.how to set goalsD.the importance of goals1-5DCCBC6-10DBDAC11-15DABDC15-20BDACD21~25DCACA26~30CCDDA。

makes one person more intelligent that another?What makes one person a genius,like the brilliant Alert Einstein,and another person a fool?Are people born intelligent or stupid,or is intelligent the result of where and how you live?These are very old questions and the answers to them are still not clear.We know,however,that just being born with a good mind is not enough.In some ways,the mind is like a leg or an arm muscle.It needs exercise.Mental(done with the mind)exercise is particularly important for young children.Many child psychologists(心理学家)think that parents should play with their children more often and give them problems to think about.The children are then more likely to grow up bright and intelligent.If,on the other hand,children are left alone a great deal with nothing to do,they are more likely to become dull and unintelligent.Parents should also be careful with what they say to young children.According to some psychologists,if parents are always telling a child that he or she is a fool or an idiot,then the child is more likely to keep doing silly and foolish things.So it is probably better for parents to say very positive(helpful)things to their children,such as"That was a very clear thing you did."or"You are such a smart child."61.Alert Einstein mentioned in the fist paragraph is a___.A.workerB.presidentC.geniusD.foolpared with the words“intelligent”and“brilliant”in the first paragraph,the word“dull”in the second paragraph means___.A.pretty and handsomemonC.clever and brightD.slow in thinking and understanding63.What should parents do in order to make their children bright?A.Stay with their children to play.B.Don’t leave their children alone.C.Praise their children frequently.D.All of the above.64.A person___is more likely to become a genius.A.whose parents are cleverB.born with a good brain and putting it into active useC.often helped by his parents and teachersD.often thinking about difficult problems65.Which of the following is NOT clear according to the passage?A.Intelligence is obviously the result of where and how you live.B.Parents’efforts play an important part in their children’s growth.C.Mental exercise is particularly important for young children.D.The less you use your mind,the duller you may become.Passage2More than30,000drivers and front seat passengers are killed or seriously injured each year.At a speed of only30miles per hour it is the same as falling from a third floor window.Wearing a seat belt saves lives.Therefore drivers or front seat passengers over14in 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 driver to make sure you wear your belt.But it will be the driver’s responsibility to make sure the children under14not to 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 can not prove to the court that you have been excused from wearing it.66.Wearing a seat belt can___.A.reduce road accidents by more than halfB.reduces the death rate in traffic accidentsC.Save30,000lives each yearD.save15,000lives each year67.It is the driver’s responsibility to___.A.urge you to wear your seat beltB.make the front seat passenger wear a seat beltC.stop children from taking the front seatD.make the front seat passenger under14wear a seat belt68.At a speed of30miles per hour could___.A.be dangerousB.be safeC.have nothing specialD.be OK in any situation69.This passage is probably taken from___.A.a tour guidebookB.a magazineC.an advertisementD.a police report70.According to the passage,in which situation do you need to wearing a seat belt?A.You are using a special vehicle to deliver goods.B.You back your car into the garage.C.You have a valid medical certificate which excuses you from wearing the seat belt.D.You are driving your car in the street at the speed of30miles per hour.Passage3Time is the biggest problem of most students.It becomes particularly difficult when you have to do library research for a term paper or report.Finding information in the library can take so much time that many students avoid it until the last possible minute.Library research does not have to be time consuming.If you learn to use a library efficiently,you can save yourself a great deal of time.The exercises in this section are designed to familiarize (使熟悉)you with the library so that you can find the information you need quickly.The first and most important thing to know about a library is that when you cannot find something,ask a library for help.The libraries are paid not just to shelve(把书上架)books,but to provide information and assistance.The most helpful libraries are usually those who work in the reference room.They will help you get started on a term paper and even help you find material.There are two basic place to begin looking for information:the card catalog and the various periodical indexes(索引).The card catalog is a list of all the books in the library.A periodical index is a list of all the magazine and journal articles written on any subject.71.According to the author,finding information in the library needs a lot of time,so students should___.A.avoid it until the last possible minuteB.learn to ask for helpC.learn how to use it efficientlyD.save a great deal of time72.It is the libraries’duty to do all the following things

room75.The passage is taken from an introduction of a chapter,and the title of the chapter is probably___.A.Save Your Study Timeing the Library EfficientlyC.How to Find a Book QuicklyD.How to Get Help from Librarians Passage4The sense of sound is one of our most important means of knowing what is going on around us.Sound has a waster product,too,in the form of noise.Noise has been called unwanted sound.Noise is growing and it may get much worse before it gets any better.Scientists,for several years,have been studying how noise affects people and animals.They are surprised by what they have learned.Peace and quest are becoming harder to find.Noise pollution is a threat that should be looked at carefully.There is a saying that it is so noisy that you can’t hear yourself think.Doctors who study noise believe that we must sometimes hear ourselves think.If we don’t,we may have headaches,other aches and pains,or even worse mental problems.Noise adds more tension(紧张)to society that already faces enough stress.But noise is not a new problem.In ancient Rome,people complained so much about noise that government stopped chariots(四轮马车)from moving through the streets at night!Ways of making less noise are now being tested.There are even laws controlling noise.We cannot return to the “good old days”of peace and quiet.But we can reduce noise–if we shout loudly enough about it.76.Why are scientists surprised by the findings in their noise study?A.Because the world is becoming more and more noisy.B.Because they have learned that noise is also a kind of pollution.C.Because noise is an unwanted waste for human beings.D.Because people knew little about noise before.77.What may happen if we cannot hear ourselves think?A.We may forget what we have thought about.B.Our thoughts may be disturbed.C.Our mind may be harmed.D.We may have difficulty finding the right words.78.When the writer says we cannot return to the good old days,he means that__.A.our society is becoming much worse

He took out one thing at a time until he got d own to his $20. With eyes full of tears, he asked if he could phone his mum to pick him up. When he got through, it appeared that even this was inconvenient for his mother.He bit hard on his lip to stop the tears and walked outsid e to wait on the bench in front of the shop. This was all too much for the young assistant who had served him and she said, “ I wish I coul d afford to pay for the rest of his things.” One of th e other girls said she had a few d ollars. Then two others said they could help as well.These four young girls pool ed their money and found that they had more than enough money for the boy’s extra purchases. So they upgrad ed his pens and pencils to to p-quality ones, then took the bag out to the boy on the seat. His young face changed from sadness to the most beautiful smil e. His mother arrived much later to pick him up. Instead of running to the car, he ran back into the store and call ed out, “ thank you!”I was so proud of my team that day.

But our muscl es d o not have to l ook like that to work well.(2)As a matter of fact, every time we write our name, we use the 20 different muscl es in our hand. Every time our heart beats, we use our cardiac muscl e(心肌) . When we eat our food, we use our tongue muscl es. We even use muscl es when we open and cl ose our eyes. In fact, every time we move, we use some of the muscl es in our body.(3)A muscl e is mad e of tiny fibers. Fiber is a type of tissue that feels a little like a rubber band. Thousands of these fibers are packed together to make a singl e muscl e. We all have the samenumber of muscl es----about 700 or so. Men and women with big muscl es simply have thicker bundl es of fibers.(4)There are three different types of muscl es in our body. Smooth muscles are the ones that we cannot control. They work quietly to keep our body running. Also, they are the ones that help us to absorb our food. The cardiac muscle makes the heart pump bl ood in and out. Skeletal muscl es are the ones that we can control. These are the muscl es that we use to raise our hands, or rid e our bicycl es.(5)Even our face often uses muscl es. But if we want to save our energy, try smiling instead of frowning. Remember that it takes 17 muscl es in our face to smile, but 43 muscl es to frown!Task 116. Paragraph (1)17. Paragraph (2)18. Paragraph (3)19. Paragraph (4)20. Paragraph (5)Task 221. Muscl es d on’t have to be very bi g____________.22. Our muscl es are working _______________.23.

When they cl ose late in the afternoon, other fl owers open.Biol ogical rhythms(生物节律), like the opening and cl osing of fl owers, happen all overnature. But not all of them are daily rhythms. Some, like the beating of our heart, happen every second. 26Scientists use the term biological clock to d escribe the timing that controls biological rhythms. 27 In some animals it is probably controll ed by the brain. In plants and other living things that have no brain, it must be something else.The migration of animals happens when a signal is sent out. For exampl e, when days become shorter, birds l eave the northern parts of the worl d and fly south where it is warm. 28Humans also have biological clocks that control their daily rhythms. When peopl e travel by plane from one continent to another, they often cross many time zones. Their internalcl ocks d on’t seem to work correctly. We call this jet lag(时差). 29 Peopl e who work night shifts also have problems with their biol ogical clocks. They may not be as active as peopl e who work during the daytime.Biol ogical clocks control many rhythms of life. 30 Doctors are looking for new ways to make travelling more comfortabl e and medical treatment more effective.第五部分：填词补文（10*1.5）Life is DifficultWhat makes life difficult is that the process of facing and solving problems is a painful one. Problems cause 31 , anger, fear or d espair. These are 32 feelings, often as painful as any kind of physical pain. And since life 33 an endl ess series of problems, it is 34 difficult and is full of pain as well as joy.Yet it is in this process of 35 and solving problems that life has its meaning. Problems call forth our 36 and our wisd om. It is only because of problems that we grow 37 and spiritually. When we want to encourage the 38 of the human spirit, we encourage the human capacity to solve problems, just as in school we d eliberately 39 problems for our children to solve. It is through the pain of confronting and resolving that we l earn. It is for this reason that 40 peopl e learn not to fear but actually to wel come problems and actually to welcome the pain of problems.第六部分：完型补文（10*1.5）Are There Truths in Dreams?Imagine waking up after dreaming(dream) about a terribl e plane crash. The next day you will make a plane journey that you have 41 (plan) l one before. Will you get on the plane?A survey shows that you may not cancel your trip. But your dream will probably influence your 42 (thought) during the journey. You may feel 43 (worry) and find the trip much 44 (l ong) than before. So dreams may influence what we are 45 (real) d oing whil e we are awake.The explanation of dreams is still a(n) 46 (cl ear) are. A team of researchers are entering a new fiel d of studies: Do dreams actually influence our 47 (behave)? Over the past few years, they have 48 (d o) studies in different cultures and found out that dreams contain some 49 (hid e) truths: dreams affect the way peopl e live and work. But researchers also tell peopl e not to be 50 (easy) influenced by their dreams.第七部分：短文写作（30分）答案：With the popularization of computer and Internet, it is as。

III Reading Comprehension(2*20)Passage1Looking back on my childhood.Ia am convinced that naturalists are born and not made.Although we were all brought up in the same way,my brothers and sisters soon abandoned their pressed flowers and insects.Unlike them, I had no ear for music and languages,I was not an early reader and I could not do mental arithmetic.Before World War I we spent our summer holidays in Hungary.I have only the dim memory of the house we lived in,of my room and my toys.Nor do I recall clearly the large family of grandparents,aunts,uncles and cousins who gathered next door.But I do have a crystal-clear memory of dogs,the farm animals,the local birds and above all,the insects.I am a naturalist,not a scientist.I have a strong love of the natural world,and my enthusiasm has led me into varied investigations.I love discussing my favorite topics and enjoy burning the midnight oil,reading about other people's observations and discoveries.Then something happens that brings these observations together in my conscious mind.Suddenly you fancy you see the answer to the riddle(谜),because it all seems to fit together.This has resulted in my publishing300papers and books,which some might honor with the title of scientific research. But curiosity,a keen eye,a good memory and enjoyment of the animal and plant world do not make a scientist; one of the outstanding and essential qualities required is self-discipline,a quality I lack.A scientist can be made.A naturalist is born.If you can combine the two,you get the best of born worlds.61.The first paragraph tells us the author______.A)was born to a naturalist's familyB)lost his hearing when he was a childC)didn't like his brothers and sistersD)was interested in flowers and insects in his childhood62.The author can't remember his relatives clearly because.A)he didn't live very long with themB)he was fully occupied with observing natureC)he was too young when he lived with themD)the family was extremely large63.It can be inferred from the passage that the author was_____.A)no more than a born naturalistB)a naturalist but not a scientistC)a scientist as well as a naturalist.D)first of all a scientist64.The author says that he is a naturalist rather than a scientist probably because he thinks he_____.A)lacks some of the qualities required of a scientistB)has a great deal of trouble doing mental arithmeticC)just reads about other people's observations and discoveriesD)comes up with solutions in a most natural way65.According to the author,a born naturalist should first of all be______.A)full of ambition C)full of enthusiasmB)knowledgeable D)self-disciplinedPassage2The outside world begins creeping into the school when the children reach the age of13and older,the age when they begin to make subject choices and when,according to a careers officer,they know if they're a scientific lot or more inclined to the arts'.The difficult part is bringing the outside world to life with all its opportunities and realities.Schools are handicapped because they are staffed by people who only know about schools.Careers services are heavily influenced by what is readily available in the area,which may be sausage-making(香肠制造) in Wiltshire of ship-building in Clydeside.Somewhere out in the world there are snail(蜗牛)geneticists(遗传学家) and landscape gardeners and girls who polish Elizabeth Taylor's diamonds,but the careers officer knows little of them.What he knows about is engineering and hairdressing and opportunities in the Army.It is not surprising that this constant friction between grand aspirations(抱负)and uninspired reality produces cynicism(玩世不恭，愤世嫉俗)in both parties.Wherever they work,sixteen and seventeen-year-olds can find themselves used as cheap labor,picking things up off floors,fetching and carrying.Some are paid a reasonable wage but it is quite possible to be paid only pocket-money.That's in the living-in jobs like hotel work.There is a small breakthrough of girls into traditionally male preserves like agriculture,but that may be because very few boys now would put up with the low wages. Most girls,despite women's liberation,head straight for hairdressing,nursing or office work and dream of being swept off their feet by the boss.66.In what sense does the author say the outside world begins"creeping into schools"when children first make subject choices?A.Children begin to become interested in careers possibly open to them.B.Children know what they are good at,science or arts.C.Children start to make constant contact with careers officers.D.Children start to be concerned with what occupations they will be able to obtain.67.The result of the present staffing arrangements in schools is____________.A.teachers can concentrate on teachingB.schools can offer little help in finding career opportunitiesC.students are well prepared for whatever jobs they will getD.students leave school unqualified68.According to the passage,the youth become cynical because______________.A.they feel they are misled by careers officersB.they can't accomplish in reality their strong desires to become scientists or to do something greatC.what they learn at school is quite different from what they see in societyD.they are treated unfairly in society69.According to the author,some girls start to engage in agriculture_____________.A.because they think they can do what boys can doB.because they have no other alternativesC.because there lie new career opportunitiesD.because that's exactly what the Women's Liberation Movement advocates70.A suitable title for the passage might be____________.A.The Gloomy Job Situation for the YouthB.The Difficulties in Job Hunting for the YouthC.The Disability of Careers OfficersD.The Friction between Aspirations and RealityPassage3Normally a student must attend a certain number of graduate,and each course which he attends gives him a credit which he may count toward a degree.In many American universities the total work for a degree consists of thirty-six courses each lasting for one semester.A typical course consists of three classes per week for fifteen weeks;while attending a university a student will probably attend four or five courses during each semester. Normally a student would expect to take four years attending two semesters each year.It is possible to spread the period of work for the degree over a longer period.It is also possible for a student to move between one university and another during his degree course,though this is not in fact done as a regular practice.For every course that he follows a student is given a grade,which is recorded,and the record is available for the student to show to prospective employers.All this imposes a constant pressure and strain of work,but in spite of this some students still find time for great activity in student affairs.Elections to positions in student organizations arouse much enthusiasm.The effective work of maintaining discipline is usually performed by students who advise the academic authorities.Any student who is thought to have broken the rules,for example,by cheating has to appear before a student court.With the enormous numbers of students,the operation of the system doesinvolve a certain amount of activity.A student who has held one of these positions of authority is much respected and it will ha of benefit to him later in his career.71Normally a student would at least attend____classes each week.A)36B)12C)20D)1672According to the first paragraph an American student is allowed_____.A)to live in a different universityB)to take a particular course in a different universityC)to live at home and drive to classesD)to get two degrees from two different universities73American university students are usually under pressure of work because_____A)their academic performance will affect their future careersB)they are heavily involved in student affairsC)they have to observe university disciplineD)they want to run for positions of authority74Some students are enthusiastic for positions in student organizations probably because_____.A)they hate the constant pressure and strain of their studyB)they will then be able to stay longer in the universityC)such positions help them get better jobsD)such positions are usually well paid75The student organizations seem to be effective in_____.A)dealing with the academic affairs of the universityB)ensuring that the students observe university regulationsC)evaluating students’performance by bringing them before a courtD)keeping up the students'enthusiasm for social activitiesPassage4In only two decades Asian American have become the faster-growing US minority.As their children begin moving up through the nation‘s schools.it became clear that a new class of academic achievers was emerging. Their achievements are reflected in the nation’s best universities,where mathematics,science and engineering departments have taken on a decidedly Asian character.This special liking for mathematics and science is partly explained by the fact that Asian-American students who began their education abroad arrived in the U.S.with a solid grounding in mathematics but little or no knowledge of English.They are also influenced by the promise of a good job after ns feel there will be less unfair treatment in areas like mathematics and science because they will be judged more objectively.And the return on the investment in education is more immediate in something like engineering than with an arts degree.Most Asian American students owe their success to the influence of parents who are determined that their children take full advantage of what the American educational system has to offer.An effective measure of parental attention is n parents spend more time with their children than American parents do,and it helps.Many researchers also believe there is something in Asian culture that breeds success,such as ideals that stress family values and emphasize education.Both explanations for academic success worry Asian Americans because of fears that they feed a typical racial image.Many can remember when Chinese,Japanese and Filipino immigrants were the victims of social isolation. Indeed,it was not until1952that laws were laid down giving all Asian immigrants the right to citizenship.76.While making tremendous achievements at college,Asian American students________.A.feel they are mistreated because of limited knowledge of EnglishB.are afraid that their academic successes bear a strong Asian characterC.still worry about unfair treatment in societyD.generally feel it a shame to have to depend on their parents77.What are the major factors that determine the success of Asian Americans?A.A solid foundation in basic mathematics and Asian culture.B.Hard work and intelligence.C.Parents’help and a limited knowledge of English.n culture and the American educational systerm.78.Few Asian American students major in human sciences mainly because_____.A.their English is not good enoughB.they are afraid they might meet with unfair judgment in these areasC.there is a wide difference between Asian and Western culturesD.hey know little about American culture and society79.Why do“both explanations”(Para.3)worry Asian Americans?A.They are afraid that they will again be isolated from American society in general.B.People will think that Asian students rely on their parents forn Americans will be a threat to other minoritiesD.American academic achievements have taken on too strong an Asian character80.The author’s tone this passage is_____.A.sympatheticB.doubleC.criticalD.objectivePart IV Translation81.当他急匆匆的赶到车站时却发现公交车已经开走了。

As a psychologist for more than twenty years I can tell you that I have never had an adult looking back at her childhood and complaining that her parents were too understanding. And similarly, I have met many divorced people who still love each other but yet they never really understood each other.The painful real ity is love is just not enough. I’ll admit that there are people who I love and who I still need to better understand. I hope I’ll continue my work to understand them. The Last willingness to understand is very important. It is not always easy, but healthy love is strengthened by the willingness to understand. Love without understanding will wilt like flowers without water.Our egos are what seem to get in the way of understanding those who we love and care about. Often it is our need to be right that makes what others think and feel so wrong for us. I have certainly been quite guilty of this in some of my relationships.As I have written repeatedly in my books, empathy, is truly the emotional glue that holds all close relationships together. Empathy allows us to slow down and try to walk in the shoes of those we love. The deeper our empathy, the deeper---and healthier--- our love. Not all relationships are meant to be. Yet all relationships that are meant to flourish in a healthy way, must stress understanding just as much, if not more, than love.61. From the passage we know that _____.A. the author complains about her parents’ being too understandingB. the author has been studying marriages for more than 20 yearsC. People divorced mainly beca use they didn’t love each otherD. Some people divorced because they couldn’t understand each other62. Why are we unable to understand the others sometimes?A. Because we are caring the others too muchB. Because it is quite difficult to understand the othersC. Because we believe we are always rightD. Because the others have done something wrong63. Which of the following statements is true according to the passage?A. Understanding is more important to parenting relationship than to other intimate relationshipsB. Understanding is less important than love as far as marriage is concernedC. Understanding is more important than love to some degreeD. Understanding is more often neglected in parentingrelationship64. If we are to understand our partners, we should firstly ____?A. Have willing to do soB. Have love for themC. Get into connection with themD. Care about them65. In this passage, the expression “walk in the shoes of” is similar in meaningto_____.A. befriendB. understandC. loveD. care aboutPassage TwoFinally, the Christmas season is over. We can take a long breath, put up our feet, sip from a cup of good tea and relax. The frenzy, starting from Black Friday right after Thanksgiving until Christmas Eve, of gift shopping, buying, wrapping, giving, receiving, opening, returning...is exhaustive and time-consuming, but it takes place every year.There is considerable difference between the cultures in China and western countries when it comes to gift giving, In China, it is not polite to open a gift in front of the gift giver, and gift is only looked at after the guest has left. Here in America, gift givers always wrap their gifts, large or small, priceless or valueless, carefully and decorate them with colorful ribbons and little pretty paper flowers; and the lucky receiver is expected to open the gift right away in front of the giver, with great eagerness and curiosity, and should always express appreciation with the all time truthfulcomment, “always wanted” gifts back to the store to exchange for something they really wanted.Finding a gift for somebody, even a close family member, you’ll have to know what the person likes and shop for days before you can locate the perfect gift. But, still the person may not like the gift from you. Nowadays, stores would provide two copies of the receipts for anything they sell as a gift, one of which is included in the gift packaged so that the receiver can come back for an exchange. I know, it was unthinkable to cash out gift you get, but, times are different. Another good way to avoid all that shopping hassle is to purchase a gift card from one of the stores and send it to your niece, nephews, or a family member, so that they can get whatever they want or even keep the money.66. Finding a gift for somebody is a(n)_____.A. easy jobB. tough taskC. must-be jobD. arranged task67. It is quite ____for Chinese people to open the gift in front of the givers.A. usualB. normalC. abnormalD. unusual68. Gift giving is the same thing in China and America in that____A. people spend a lot of time preparing a giftB. people would cash out the gift immediatelyC. people are eager to open to get a gift from a friendD. people are less willing to give gifts69. Which of the following is the author’s suggestion?A. Open the gift immediately in front of the giverB. Wrap the gift carefullyC. Express the appreciation for the gift you receiveD. Buying a present card to avoid the trouble in shopping70. The author’s attitude towards gift giving is_____.A. IndifferentB. protestingC. objectiveD. supportive参考答案：61-65DCCAB 66-70 BDADC第四部分Passage ThreeThey already guide blind and disabled people; now dogs are to be trained to help people with dementia（痴呆）.The duties of these “guide dogs for the mind” will include reminding their owners to take medication, as well as encouraging them to eat, drink and sleep at regular intervals.The dementia dogs will be trained to respond to sound triggers in the home that prompt them to perform tasks. These could include delivering a bite-proof bag of medicine with a note inside reminding the patient to take it, or walking them up in the morning.The idea was developed by design students at the Glasgow School of Art and will now be put into practice by Alzheimer’s Scotland and Dogs for the disabled.Joyce Gray of Alzheimer’s Scotland said: “people in the early stages of dementia are still able to live a relative normal life, and dogs help to maintain routine.”The other advantage of using the pets as companions is that conversation can be increasingly confusing for people with Alzheimer’s ,but dogs can give the m a sense of silent support and companionship. People light up when they see an imals. They don’t need to communicate verbally but they can still interact. You can have a speechless bond.The dog would also encourage the owner to take them out for walks, ensuring they keep exercising and interacting with other people.71. As is mentioned in the passage, the guide dogs will do the following except for_______.A. helping ensure the owner doing some exercisesB. reminding the owner to take medicineC. Communicating with the owner in a non-verbal wayD. Helping the owner recover from the illness72. Who will train the dogs to perform such tasks?A. The students who developed the idea.B. The owners of the dogs.C. The experts in Alzheimer’s Scotland.D. It is not mentioned in the passage.73. What is true about the people suffering from dementia?A. They would like to say with other people.B. They can maintain routine.C. They will gradually lose the ability to live a normal life.D. They would like to talk in a different way.74. The guide dogs helping the people with dementia will _______.A. respond to the owners orderB. respond to a sound deviceC. act on the owners instructionsD. act on the trainers order75. Having a conversation with people with dementia will be _______.A. difficultB. interestingC. confusingD. encouragingPassage FourIt seems obvious that you don’t give away your product for free but this is exactly what indie rock group the Crimea did earlier this year. The Crimea did earlier this year. The band’s reasoning goes like this: more people will download the free album than would pay for it. Therefore more people will hear The Crimea’s music. These people will then pay money for concerts by the band and perhaps buy a T-shirt or other merchandise. If the band play regular concerts to crowds of 200 or 300 people the can make more money than they would from sales of a CD. There will always be some [people who want something they can hold in their hands so they will release the CD into the shops too-- but making money throu gh sales of their music isn’t the top priority.The story illustrates the creative thinking going on in the music business in response to dramatic changes over the last few years in the way that people buy music. Sales of music digitally --to computer, phones and MP3 players rose to $2 billion in 2006 -- an increase of almost 100 percent on the previous year -- yet overall record company sales are down. People are simply not buy CDs in record shops in anything like the numbers the\y used to.This trend looks set to continue so the big question for the music industry is whether they can successfully manage the move to being primarily a digital industry without profits falling to unacceptable levels.There are both positive and negative signs. On the plus side, more and more people are buying music on mobile phones, which allows people to make impulse purchases -- they can buy a song as soon as they hear it. Research by the UK Mobile operator 3 suggested that 75 percent of 16 to 24-year-olds wanted to buy a track they liked as soon as they heard it. With so much competition for people’s disposable income, a product that you can sell immediately is a big advantage.The bad news for record companies, however, is the mount of music that is downloaded illegally. Piracy --- usually in the form of cheaply copied CD ---has long been an issue for the music business but the internet means music can be copied and distributed freely through file-sharing sites on a large scale than ever before.It is this situation that leads bands to start giving away their music for free and promises to make the next few years a very interesting time in the music business.76. What is unusual about the Crimea’s business plan?A. Their business was given away free on the Internet.B. They give CDs away free in shops.C. They played free concerts.D. They charged more for their CDs.77. The Crimea hope to make money _______.A. through CD salesB. by giving concerts and selling T-shirts and other merchandiseC. by selling merchandise on the internetD. though sales of merchandise in shops78. The Crimea also released CDs for sale in shops because _______.A. People who attend their concerts need themB. they want to make extra moneyC. there are still people who prefer CDs to other formatsD. People who fail to attend their concerts need them79. What is true about sales of music over the last year?A. overall, sales are up on last year.B. .overall, sales are down on last year.C. there is no change compared to previous sales.D. It is not mentioned in the passage.80. What effect has the internet had on music piracy?A. It has made it easier to fight piracy.B. It has increased the number of pirate CDs available.C.

No doubt the store was crowded with last minute Christmas shoppers and the staff were dead beat and longing to get home .Presumably all the proper Security checks were made before the store was locked and they left to enjoy the three-day holiday untroubled by customers desperate to get last minute Christmas presents.However that may be, our tramp found himself alone in the store and decided to make thebest of it. There was food, drink, bedding and camping equipment, of which he made good use. There must also have been television sets and radios Though it was not reported if he took advantage of these facilities, when the shop re-opened, he was discovered in bed with a large number of empty bottles beside him. He seems to have been a man of good humor and philosophic temperament---as indeed tramps very commonly arc. Everyone also was enjoying Christmas, so he saw no good reason why he should not do the same. He submitted(屈服), cheerfully enough, to being taken way by the police. Perhaps he had bad a better Christmas than usual. He was sent to prison for Seven days. The judge awarded no compensation to the chain store for the food and drink our tramp had consumed. They had, in his opinion, already received valuable free publicity from the coverage the story received in the newspapers and on television.61. The tramp was locked in the store____A. Thought an error of his ownB. due to a mistake of Christmas shoppersC.by accident.D. through a trick of his62. “The staff were dead beat”in the first paragraph means they were _____A. woundedB. exhausted.C. irritableD. forgetful.63. What did the tramp do after he had been locked in?A. He stole some expensive items from the store.B. He made himself at home.C.He kept himself in bed for 3 days.D. He had a Christmas party.64. When the tramp was arrested, he _____A.gave good reasons to protect himselfB.said a lot of humorous wordsC.felt rather sadD.seemed to be willing to be taken away65、The judge did not award compensation to the chain store because he thought that_____A. The tramp had stolen nothing of value.B. The store had profited by the incident.C. The tramp deserved a happy Christmas.D. The store was responsible for what had happened.Passage 25In the same way that a child must be able to move his arms and legs before he can learn to walk, the child must physiologically be capable of producing and experiencing particular emotions before these emotions can be modified through learning. Psychologists have found that there are two basic processes by which learning takes place. One kind of learning is called "classical conditioning." This occurs when one event or stimulus is continuously followed by a reward or punishment. It is through classical conditioning that a child learns to associate his mother's face and voice with happiness and love, for he learns that this person provides food and comfort. Negative emotions are learned in a similar fashion.The second kind of learning is called "operant (动作的) conditioning. This occurs when an individual learns to do things that produce rewards in his environment and learns not to do things that produce punishments. For example, if a mother always attends to her baby when he cries and cuddles him until he is quiet, she may teach him that if he cries he will get attention from mother. Thus, the baby will learn to increase his crying in order to have his mother more.Every day .we grow and have new experience .we constantly learn by reading .watching television interacting with other people .and so forth .this learning affects our emotions .why is that we learn to like some people and dislike others?If a person is nice to us .cars about us .we learn to associate this person with positive feeling .such as joy .happiness.and friendliness .on the other hand .if a person is mean to us .does not care about us and even deliberately does things to harm us .we learn to associate this person with negative feelings.such as unhappiness.discomfort and anger.66. The author’s main purpose in writing this passage is to ___________.A. teach children how to learn to produce and experience certain emotionsB. give the general reader an account of two basic kinds of learningC. give parents some advice on how to modify their children's emotions through learningD. discuss with psychologists how positive and negative feelings are produced67. If your jokes often find a ready echo in a person, you will learn through __________ that telling jokes to this person is fun, and you will try with greater efforts to be humorous in his presence.A. classical conditioningB. operant conditioningC. neither A nor BD. some other sorts of conditioning68. If a child is bitten or startled several times by a dog, he may learn to associate furry (有皮毛的) animals with pain or startle and thus develop a fear of furry animals. This is a typical example of learning through _________.A classical conditioningB both of themC operant conditioning C neither of them69.In the third paragraph .the author is _______A discussing how we grow and have new experience every dayB talking about learning by reading .watching television .interacting with people and so onD using example to further illustrate learning through classical conditioning70.in the following paragraphs the author will most probably go on discuss______A definitions of positive feeling and negative feelingsB the third kind of learningC further examples of learning through operate conditioningD none of the above6Passage3People travel a lot with Heaven Air because they know they will get what they want.They want to go quickly and safely across the land, across the sea or right across the world,and they know Heaven Air will take them where they want to go whenever they want to go.

According to some people, she lived in Boston, and her real name was Elizabeth Vergoose. Her son-in-law, a printer named Thomas Fleet, was supposed to have published the famous stories and poems for small childrenin 1719. However, no copy of this book has ever been found, and most scholars doubt the truth of this story-and doubt, moreover, that Mother Goose was ever a real person. They point out that the name is a direct translation of the French "Mere L'oye'. In 1697 the Frenchman Charles Perrault published the first book in which this name was used. The collection contains eight tales, including"Sleeping Beauty", "Cinderella", and "Puss in Boots".

makes one person more intelligent that another?What makes one person a genius,like the brilliant Alert Einstein,and another person a fool?Are people born intelligent or stupid,or is intelligent the result of where and how you live?These are very old questions and the answers to them are still not clear.We know,however,that just being born with a good mind is not enough.In some ways,the mind is like a leg or an arm muscle.It needs exercise.Mental(done with the mind)exercise is particularly important for young children.Many child psychologists(心理学家)think that parents should play with their children more often and give them problems to think about.The children are then more likely to grow up bright and intelligent.If,on the other hand,children are left alone a great deal with nothing to do,they are more likely to become dull and unintelligent.Parents should also be careful with what they say to young children.According to some psychologists,if parents are always telling a child that he or she is a fool or an idiot,then the child is more likely to keep doing silly and foolish things.So it is probably better for parents to say very positive(helpful)things to their children,such as"That was a very clear thing you did."or"You are such a smart child."61.Alert Einstein mentioned in the fist paragraph is a___.A.workerB.presidentC.geniusD.foolpared with the words“intelligent”and“brilliant”in the first paragraph,the word“dull”in the second paragraph means___.A.pretty and handsomemonC.clever and brightD.slow in thinking and understanding63.What should parents do in order to make their children bright?A.Stay with their children to play.B.Don’t leave their children alone.C.Praise their children frequently.D.All of the above.64.A person___is more likely to become a genius.A.whose parents are cleverB.born with a good brain and putting it into active useC.often helped by his parents and teachersD.often thinking about difficult problems65.Which of the following is NOT clear according to the passage?A.Intelligence is obviously the result of where and how you live.B.Parents’efforts play an important part in their children’s growth.C.Mental exercise is particularly important for young children.D.The less you use your mind,the duller you may become.Passage2More than30,000drivers and front seat passengers are killed or seriously injured each year.At a speed of only30miles per hour it is the same as falling from a third floor window.Wearing a seat belt saves lives.Therefore drivers or front seat passengers over14in 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 driver to make sure you wear your belt.But it will be the driver’s responsibility to make sure the children under14not to 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 can not prove to the court that you have been excused from wearing it.66.Wearing a seat belt can___.A.reduce road accidents by more than halfB.reduces the death rate in traffic accidentsC.Save30,000lives each yearD.save15,000lives each year67.It is the driver’s responsibility to___.A.urge you to wear your seat beltB.make the front seat passenger wear a seat beltC.stop children from taking the front seatD.make the front seat passenger under14wear a seat belt68.At a speed of30miles per hour could___.A.be dangerousB.be safeC.have nothing specialD.be OK in any situation69.This passage is probably taken from___.A.a tour guidebookB.a magazineC.an advertisementD.a police report70.According to the passage,in which situation do you need to wearing a seat belt?A.You are using a special vehicle to deliver goods.B.You back your car into the garage.C.You have a valid medical certificate which excuses you from wearing the seat belt.D.You are driving your car in the street at the speed of30miles per hour.Passage3Time is the biggest problem of most students.It becomes particularly difficult when you have to do library research for a term paper or report.Finding information in the library can take so much time that many students avoid it until the last possible minute.Library research does not have to be time consuming.If you learn to use a library efficiently,you can save yourself a great deal of time.The exercises in this section are designed to familiarize (使熟悉)you with the library so that you can find the information you need quickly.The first and most important thing to know about a library is that when you cannot find something,ask a library for help.The libraries are paid not just to shelve(把书上架)books,but to provide information and assistance.The most helpful libraries are usually those who work in the reference room.They will help you get started on a term paper
