The nation of the Cherokees ( 柴罗基部落) lived in what is now the southeastern part of the United States.After the white man came, the Cherokees copied many of their ways. One Cherokees name Sequoyah saw how important reading and writing was to the white man. He decided to invent a way to write down the spoken Cherokee language. He began by making word pictures. For each word he drew a picture. But that proved impossible------there were just too many words. Then he took the 85 sounds that made up the language. Using his own imagination and an English spelling book, Sequoyah invented a sign for each sound. His alphabet proved amazingly easy to learn. Before long, many Cherokees knew how to read and write in their own language. By 1828, they were even printing their own newspaper.In 1830, the U.S. Congress passed a law. It allowed the government to remove Indians from the homes. The Cherokees refused to go. They had lived on their lands for centuries. It belonged to them. Why should they go to a strange land far beyond the Mississippi River?The army was sent to drive the Cherokees out. Soldiers surrounded their villages and marched them at gunpoint into the western territory. The sick, the old and the small children went in carts, along with their belongings. The rest of the people marched on foot or rode on horseback. It was November, yet many of them still wore their summer clothes. Coldand hungry, the Cherokees were quickly exhausted by the hardships ofthe journey. Many dropped dead and were buried by the roadside. Whenthe last group arrived in their new home in March 1839, more than 4,000had died. It was indeed a march of death.71. The Cherokees Nation used to live ________.A) on the American continent. B) in the southeastern part of the U.S.C) beyond the Mississippi River. D) in the western territory.72.

It was a cheap self-service place with long tables to sit at. I put my heavy bag down on the floor, put the newspaper and chocolate on the table to keep a place and went to get a cup of coffee.When I came back with the coffee, there was someone in the next seat. It was one of those wild-looking boys, with dark glasses and old clothes, and his hair was colored bright red at the front. Not so unusual these days. What did surprise me was that he‟d started to eat my chocolate!Naturally, I was rather uneasy about him, but I didn‟t want to make more trouble. I just looked down at the front page of the newspaper, tasted my coffee and took a bit of chocolate. The boy looked at me closely. Then he took a second piece of my chocolate. I could hardly believe it. Still I didn‟t say anything to him. When he took a third piece, I felt more angry than uneasy. I thought, “Well, I shall have the last piece.” and I got it.The boy gave me a strange look, then stood up. As he left he shouted out, “There‟s something wrong with this woman!” Everybody looked at me, but it was worse when I finished my coffee and ready to leave. My face turned red when I knew I‟d made a mistake. It wasn‟t my chocolate that I had been eating. There was mine, unopened, just under my newspaper.81.A self-service shop may be a place where you __________ .A. can buy what you want at the lowest priceB. can get everything you want free of chargeC. have to get what you want all by yourselfD. may find the waitresses there only serve themselves82.From the description of the boy by the writer, we know that the writer ______________ .A. enjoyed very much the way he was decked outB. disliked the way he was decked out and expressed her dissatisfactionC. somewhat disliked the way he was decked out but already got used to itD. was fond of the way he was decked out83.What made the author surprised when she returned to her seat?A.

Fire!” what terrible words to hear when one wakes up in a stran ge house in the middle of the night! It was a large, old wooden house----the sort that burn beautifully-----and my room was on the floor. I jumped out of the bed, opened the door and stepped out into the passage. It was full of thick smoke.I began to run, but as I was still only half-awake, instead of going towards the stairs I went in the opposite direction. The smoke grew thicker and I could see flames all around. The floor became hot under my bare feet. I found an open door and ran into a room to get to the window. But before I could reach it, one of my feet caught in something soft and I fell down. The thing I had fallen over felt like a bundle of clothes, and I picked it up to protect my face from the smoke and heat. Just then the floor gave way under me and I crashed to the floor below with pieces of burning wood all around me.I saw a flaming doorway in front, put the bundle over my face and ran. My feet burned me terribly, but I got through. As I reached the cold air out side, my bundle of clothes gave a thin cry.I nearly dropped it in my surprise. Then I saw a crowd gathered in the street.

It was still too early for me to have my evening meal, so I walked along the seafront (滨海马路) for about an hour until I began to feel hungry. By that time I was not far from a favorite restaurant of mine, where I often went to eat two or three times a week. I knew the owner well and frequently complimented (赞美, 恭维) him on hisexcellent cooking.I went into the restaurant, which was already crowded, and ordered my meal. While I was waiting for the soup to arrive, I looked around to see if I knew anyone in the restaurant. It was then that I noticed that a man sitting at a corner table near the door kept glancing in my direction, as if he knew me, I certainly did not know him, for I never forgot a face. The man had a newspaper open in front of him, which he was pretending to read, though all the while I could see that he was keeping an eye on me. When the waiter brought my soup, the man was clearly puzzled by the familiar way in which the waiter and I addressed each other. He became even more puzzled as time went on and it grew more and more obvious that I was well known in the restaurant. Eventually he got up and went into the kitchen. After a few minutes he came out again, paid his bill and left without another glance in my direction.When I had finished and was about to pay my bill, I called the owner of the restaurant over and asked him what the man had wanted. The owner was a little embarrassed by my question and at first did not want to tell me. I insisted. “Well,” he said, “that man was a detective.” “Really?” I said, considerably surprised. “He followed you here because he thought you were a man he was looking for,” the owner of the restaurant said. “When he came into the kitchen, he showed me a photograph of the wanted man. He certainly looked like you! Of course, since we know you here, I was able to convince him that he had made a mistake.” “It‟s lucky I came to a restaurant where I am known,” I said, “otherwise I might have been arrested!”91.When the author got to his favorite restaurant, it was ___________ .A. already nine o‟clockB. eight o‟clock on the do tC. about two minutes past eightD. slightly later than eight o‟clock92.The man sitting at the corner table near the door kept glancing in the direction of the author because he was __________________ .A. interested in the personality of the authorB. making a study of the authorC. looking up and down the authorD. keeping a lookout over the author93.The author was followed by the detective probably because he ___________ .A. took after a suspectB. was similar to a criminal in personalityC. was an accompliceD. looked like a murderer94.The detective had a newspaper open in front of him in order to ____________ .A. read it in detailB. cover up what he was really doing thereC. have it recheckedD. wait for his food95.According to the text, if the author had been a stranger in the restaurant, he would have been ____________________.A. taken to courtB. followedC. capturedD. sentenced to a few years‟ imprisonmentPassage DAt Harton College---an English boarding school for boys---there are many rules. Fifteen-year-old Bob Sanders often breaks these rules.The boys can go into town in the afternoon after classes. But they must return to the school at six o‟clock. One afternoon B ob walked to the town. He looked at the shops and then went to the cinema. After the film he looked at his watch. It was after eight o‟clock. He was a little worried.He walked back to Harton College as fast as possible.When he arrived, he ran quickly to the main entrance. It was locked. He looked up at the window of his dormitory. It was on the third floor. The window was open. But it was quite dark and he went round the school building to another door. That one was locked too. He couldn‟t climb up the wall very easily. Then he saw another open window on the ground floor. It was the window of the headmaster‟s study.He looked into the room-----no one was there. Bob quickly climbed on to the window sill (窗台) and jumped into the room. Just then he heard a noise. Then some one turned on a light in the corridor. Bob looked around and then hid under the sofa. One minute later, Mr. Mannering, the headmaster, came in. He turned on the light on his desk, and sat down on the sofa. Then he opened a book and began to read.Bob lay under the sofa as quietly as possible. He could not move. The floor was cold and uncomfortable. He looked at the headmaster‟s shoes and socks for an hour.“Why doesn‟t he get up and go to bed?” he thought.Finally, the headmaster closed his book and stood up. He put the book on a shelf and walked towards the door.“Thank heavens, he didn‟t find me under the sofa!” thought Bob.Then Mr. Mannering stopped and spoke towards the sofa. “Would you turn off the light when you leave?” he said and left the study.96.According to the passage, it is required that students of Harton College _________ .A. come back to the college at six o‟clock if they go to town after classesB. may stay out until midnight if they likeC. should leave school when class is overD. may do whatever they like97.When Bob realized it was too late to return to Harton College as required, it was already ___________ .A. 8:00B. 9:00C. later than 8:00D. midnight98.Bob stole into the courtyard of his college by means of ________ .A. the main entranceB. going around the school building to another doorC. jumping over the wallD. climbing into the window of his headmaster‟s study99.Bob hid himself under the sofa probably because he was afraid of ______________ .A. being punished for his theftB. being found to have returned lateC. being dismissed for his wrongdoingD. being capture alive on the spot100.In the light of what his headmaster said towards the sofa, it can be safely concluded that the headmaster had already ________________ .A. excused BobB. forgiven BobC. found Bob hiding under the sofaD. punished BobV.

Part I Reading Comprehension (共20小题, 每小题2分, 共40分)Directions: There are 4 passages in this part. Each passage is followed by some questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are 4 choices marked A, B, C and D. You should decide on the best choice and mark the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet with a single line through the center.Passage OneQuestions 1 to 5 are based on the following passage.Different countries and different races have different manners. Before entering a house in some Asian countries, it is good manners to take off your shoes. In European countries, even though shoes sometimes become very muddy, this is not done. A guest in a Chinese house sometimes does not finish a drink. He leaves a little, to show that he has had enough. In a Malay house, too, a guest always leaves a little food. In England, a guest always finishes a drink to show that he enjoys it.We should like to find out the customs of other races, so that they will not think us ill-mannered. But people all over the world agree that being well-mannered really means being kind and helping others, especially those older or weaker than ourselves. If you remember this, you will not go very far wrong.Here are some examples of the things that a well-mannered person does or does not do.He never laughs at people when they are in trouble. He is always kind either to people or to animals. When people are waiting for a bus, or in a post office, he lines up to wait his turn. In the bus, he gives his seat to an older person or a lady who is standing. If he accidentally bumps into （碰撞）someone, or gets in their way, he says“Excuse me“or“I’m sorry”.He says“Please”when making a request, and“Thank you”when he receives something. He stands up when speaking to a lady or an older person, and he does not sit down until the other person is seated. He does not talk too much about himself. When eating, he does not speak with his mouth full of food.1. According to the passage, a knowledge of the customs of other races ____.A. is very usefulB. is unnecessaryC. is unimportantD. does not mean much2. A person with good manners thinks of ____.A. the older before himselfB. himself before othersC. no one but himselfD. his personal interests3. Which of the following is NOT true? A well-mannered person usually ____.A. says“Please”when making a requestB. makes an apology for bumping into someone accidentallyC. sits where he is when speaking to a ladyD. tries to help those who are in trouble4. If you want to be well-mannered, ____.A. you laugh at people when they are in troubleB. it’s all right to speak with your mouth full of foodC. you should stop someone when he is talkingD. you should speak after someone else has finished talking5. As different countries have different manners, ____.A. it’s unnecessary to learn their mannersB. we should try to find out the differences in the customsC. it should be wrong to go out of one’s way to do anythingD. learning a little language would be helpfulPassage TwoQuestions 6 to 10 are based on the following passage.I entered St. Thomas’s Hospital as a medical student at the age of 18 and spent five years there. I was an unsatisfactory student, for my heart was not in it. I had always wanted to be a writer, and in the evenings, after my tea, I wrote and read. Before long, I wrote a novel, called Liza of Lambeth, which I sent to a publisher and was accepted. It appeared during my last year at the hospital and had something of a success. I felt I could afford to give up medicine and make writing my profession; so, three days after I graduated from the school of medicine, I set out for Spain to write another book. Looking back now, and knowing the terrible difficulties of making a living by writing, I realize I was taking a fearful risk.The next ten years were very hard, and I earned an average of￡100 a year. Then I had a bit of luck. The manager of the Court Theatre put on a play that failed; the next play he arranged to put on was not ready, and he was at his wit’s end. He read a play of mine and, though he did not much like it, he thought it might just run for the six weeks till the play he had in mind could be produced. It ran for fifteen months. Within a short while, I had four plays running in London at the same time. Nothing of the kind had ever happened before. I was the talk of the town.6. When the author was a medical student, he ____.A. had some trouble with his heartB. was a very good studentC. wanted to be a writer after graduationD. was satisfied with what he was doing at the time7. When the author wrote his first novel, ____.A. he sent it to a publisher but it was not acceptedB. he was still studying at the medical schoolC. he succeeded in publishing it though it was not a successD. he had graduated from the medical school8. The author gave up medicine because at that time ____.A. he thought he could make a living by writingB. he knew the success of the book was naturalC. he knew it was no risk to be a writerD. he was quite rich alter the success of his book9. For the first ten years of his writing career after his graduation, the author earned an average of ￡100 a year, which was ____.A. a great sumB. a bit of luckC. a small sumD. a moderate success10. The manager of the Court Theatre agreed to put on the author’s play because ____.A. he thought the author was a good playwrightB. he liked the author’s plays very muchC. he tailed to arrange a new play in timeD. he heard that the author had studied medicine beforePassage ThreeQuestions 11 to 15 are based on the following passage.In the last 500 years, nothing about people---not their clothes, ideas, or languages---has changed as much as what they eat. The original chocolate drink was made from the seeds of the cocoa tree by South American Indians. The Spanish introduced it to the rest of the world. And although it was very expensive, it quickly became fashionable. In London, shops where chocolate drinks were served became important meeting places. Some still exist today.The potato is also from the New World. Around 1600, the Spanish brought it from Peru to Europe, where it was soon widely grown. Ireland became so dependent on it that thousands of Irish people starved when the crop failed during the “Potato Famine” of 1845-46, and thousands more were forced to emigrate to America. There are many other foods that have traveled from South America to the Old World. But some others went in the opposite direction. Brazil is now the world's largest grower of coffee, and coffee is an important crop in Colombia and other South American countries. But it is native to Ethiopia. It was first made into a drink by Arabs during the 1400's.According to an Arabic legend, coffee was discovered by a goatherd named Kaldi. He noticed that his goats were attracted to the red berries on a coffee bush. He tried one and experienced the “wide-awake” feeling that one-third of the world's population now starts the day with.11. According to the passage, ____ has changed the most in the last 500 years.A. FoodB. ChocolateC. PotatoD. Coffee12. “Some” in “Some still exist today” (Para. 1) means ____ .A. some cocoa treesB. some chocolate drinksC. some shopsD. some South American Indians13. Thousands of Irish people starved during the“Potato Famine”because ____.A. they were so dependent on the potato that they refused to eat anything elseB. they were forced to emigrate to AmericaC. the weather conditions in Ireland were not suitable for growing the potatoD. the potato harvest was bad14. Coffee originally came from ____ .A. BrazilB. ColombiaC. EthiopiaD. Arabia.15. The Arabic legend is used to prove that ____ .A. coffee was first discovered by KaldiB. coffee was first discovered by Kaldi’s goatsC. coffee was first discovered in South American countriesD. coffee drinks were first made by ArabsPassage FourQuestions 16 to 20 are based on the following passage.Around the world more and more people are taking part in dangerous sports and activities. Of course, there have always been people who have looked for adventure——those who have climbed the highest mountains, explored unknown parts of the world or sailed in small boats across the greatest oceans. Now, however, there are people who seek an immediate thrill from a risky activity which may only last a few minutes or even seconds.I would consider bungee jumping to be a good example of such an activity. You jump from a high place (perhaps a bridge or a hot-air balloon) 200 meters above the ground with an elastic rope tied to your ankles. You fall at up to 150 kilometers an hour until the rope stops you from hitting the ground. It is said that about 2 million people around the world have now tried bungee jumping. Other activities as risky as bungee jumping involve jumping from tall buildings and diving into the sea from the top of high cliffs. Why do people take part in such activities as these? Some psychologists suggest that it is because life in modern societies has become safe and boring. Not very long ago, people’s lives were constantly under threat. They had to go out and hunt for food, diseases could not easily be cured, and life was a continuous battle for survival.Nowadays, according to many people, life offers little excitement. They live and work in a comparatively safe environment, they buy food in shops, and there are doctors and hospitals to look after them if they become ill. The answer for some of these people is to seek danger in activities such as bungee jumping.16. The best title for the passage would be ____.A. Dangerous Sports：What and WhyB. The Boredom of Modern LifeC. Bungee Jumping：Is It Really Dangerous?D. The Need for Excitement17. More and more people today ____.A. are trying activities such as bungee jumpingB. are climbing the highest mountainsC. are coming close to death in sportsD. are exploring unknown places18. In bungee jumping, you ____.A. jump as high as you canB. slide down a rope to the groundC. attach yourself to a rope and fall towards the groundD. fall towards the ground without a rope1 9. People probably take part in dangerous sports nowadays because ____.A. they have a lot of free timeB. they can go to hospital if they are injuredC. their lives lack excitementD. they no longer need to hunt for food20. The writer of the passage has a ____ attitude towards dangerous sports.A. positiveB. negativeC. neutralD. nervousPart II Vocabulary and Structure (共40小题, 每小题1分, 共40分)Directions: There are 40 incomplete sentences in this part.

You should decide on the best choice and mark the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet with a single line through the center.Passage OneAll the housewives who went to the new supermarket had one great ambition: to be the lucky customer who did not have to pay for her shopping . For this was what the notice just inside the entrance promised. It said:“Remember, once a week, one of our customers gets free goods. This May Be Your Lucky Day!” For severa l weeks Mrs. Edwards hoped,lide many of her friends, to be the lucky customer. Unlike her friends, she never gave up hoping. The cupboards in kitchen were full of things which she did not need. Herhusband tried to advise her against buying things but failed. She dreamed of the day when the manager of the supermarket would approach her and say:“Madam, this is Your Lucky Day. Everything in your basket is free.” One Friday morning, after she had finished her shopping and had taken it to her car, she found that she had forgotten to buy any tea. She dashed back to the supermarket, got the tea and went towards the cash-desk.. As she did so, she saw the manager of the supermarket approach her.“Madam,” he said, holding out his hand,“I want to congratulate you! You are our lucky customer and everything you have in your basket is free!” 51.The housewives learnt about the offer of free goods . A. on TV B. from the manager C. at the supermarket D. from the newspaper 52.Mrs.Edwards . A. is always very lucky B. had no friends C. hoped to get free shopping D. gets disappointed easily 53.Mrs.Edwards’s husband tried to .

A. buy another thing B. talk to the manager C. pay for her shopping D. find her shopping 55.Mrs.Edwards must have been . A. pleased B. delighted C. proud D. disappointedPassage TwoGenerations of Americans have been brought up to believethat a good b reakfast is one life’s essentials. Eating breakfast at the start of the day ,we have all been told , and told again, is as necessary as putting gasoline in the family car before starting a trip. But for many people the thought of food first thing in the morning is by no means a pleasure. So despite all the efforts, they still take no breakfast. Between 1977 and 1983, the latest year for which figures are available, the number of people who didn’thave breakfast, increased by 33 percent. For those who feel pain of guilt about not eating breakfast , however, thereis some good news. Several studies in the last few years indicate that , for adults especially, there may be nothing wrong with omitting breakfast.“Going without breakfastdoes not affect performance,”said Arrold E. Bender, former professor of the nutrition at Queen Elizabeth College in London, “nor does giving people breakfast improve performance.” Scientific evidence linking breakfast to better health or better performance is surprisingly inadequate, and most of the recent work involves children , not adults,“The literature”, says one reaearcher , Dr, Erresto at the University of Texas ,“is poor”.56. The latest year for which figures could be obtained is .A. the year the author wrote the articleB.1997C. any year between 1977 and 1983D.1983 57.For those who do not takebreakfast ,the good news is that . A .several studies have been done in the past few years B. the omission ofbreakfast does no harm to one’s healty C. adults have especially made studies in this field D. eating little in the morning is good for health 58.“… nor does giving people breakfast improve performance”means . A. anyone without breakfast does improve his performance B. notgiving people breakfast improve performance C. having breakfast does not improve performance, either D. people having breakfast do improve their performance 59.The wore “literature”in the last sentence refers to . A. stories , poems, play, etc . B. written works on a particular subjectC. any printed materialD. the moden literature of America60.What is implied but NOT stated by the author is that . A. breakfast does not affect performance B. Dr. Erresto is engaged in research work at an institution of higherlearning C. not eating breakfast might affect the health of children D. Professor Bender once taught college courses in nutrition in LondonPassage ThreeBanks are not ordinarily prepared to pay out all aounts; they rely on depositors(储户) not to demand payment all at the same time .If depositors should e to fear might causeall the depositors to appear on the same day .If theydid ,the band could not pay all aounts. However, if theydid not all appear at once, then there would always be enough money to pay those who wanted their money when they wanted it .Mrs. Elsie Vaught has told us of a terrifying bank run that she experienced .One day in December of 1925 several banks failed to open in a city where Mrs. Vaught lived. The other banks expected a run the next day, and so the officers of the bank in which Mrs. Vaught worked as a teller had enough money on hand to pay off their depositors. The officers simply told the tellers to pay on demand. The next morning a crowd gathered in the bank and on the sidewalk outside. The length of the line made many thinkthat the bank could not possibly pay off everyone .People began to push and then to fight for places near thetellers’ windows. The power of the panic atmosphere was such that two tellers, though they knew that the bank was quite all right and could pay all depositors, drew their own miney from the bank. Mrs. Vaught says that she had difficulty keeping herself from doing the same.61.A bank run happens when. A. a book is closed for one or more days. B. too many depositors try to draw out their money at one time C. there is not enough money to pay allits depositors at one time D. tellers of a bank take their own money from the bank 62. The tellers in Mrs. Vaught’s bank were told to. A. explain why they could not pat outall aounts B. pay out aounts as requested C. make thedepositors believe that the bank was stand D. pay out money as slowly as possible 63. The main cause of a bank run is. A. loss of confidence B. lack of money C. crowds of people D. inexperienced tellers 64. Which of the following did Mrs. Vaught say? A. She knew that the bank was not sound. B. She feared that too many depositors drawing their money would close the bank.. C. She was not able to draw out her money.D. She was tempted to draw out her money. 65. Aording tothe passage ,the actions of the depositors of Mrs.Vaught’s bank were affected mainly by the . A. ease with which they could get their money B. confidence that Mrs. Vaught showed C. failure of several other banks to open D. confidence shown by other depositors of the bankPassage FourThe energy which the sun radiates goes in everydirection ,and only a minute part of it falls on theearth .Even so , it represents power of about 5,000,000 horsepower(马力)per square mile per day ;the sun gives usas much energy every minute as mankind utilizes in ayear .At present , we use this energy indirectly , and itis our final source of power . Coal represents the chemical action of the sun on green plants thousands of years ago . Water power results from the rain formed by vapor which es from the evaporation of water under the sunshine . Even windmills operate because of air currents set in motion bythe different heating effects of the sun in different places . Some day ,through chemistry or some type of solar engine , we shall harness this great source of energy more directly . Already a scientist has worked out an engine , surprisingly efficient , in which the sun’s rays are concentrated through mirrors on a rube of water to create steam .66. How much energy given off by the sun reaches the earth?A.100% but indirectlyB.5%C. 50%D. only a very tiny amount 67. The reason why all the solar energy falling on the earth can’t be utilized is that . A. only a very small part is available B. the sun is too distant from the earth C. it takes thousands if years for this energy to be stored up in coal and oil D. our scientific knowledge is not sufficient 68. Which of the following statements is NOT true ? A. Even windmill’s action depends on the sun B. The sun produces enormous energy for man to make use of .. C. Some day man will be able to utilize 100% of the solar energy that gets to the earth. D. The sun producesdifferent heating effects in different places. 69. In order to support this argument , the writer gives the example that. A. a machine using solar energy efficiently has already been developed B. the sun is our final source of power C. man uses only a tiny part of the sun’s energy D. the part of the sun’s energy we use is used indirectly 70.This passage centers mainly on. A. harnessing energy through chemistry B. our last source of power C. how water power is produced D. the amount of solar energy that can be utilized Part V Cloze (20points)Directions : There are 20 blanks in the following passage . For each blank there are four choices marked A , B , C and D below the passage . You should choose the one that best fits into the passage . Then mark the corresponding letter on the Answer with single line through the center .From childhood to old age , we all use language as a means of broadening our knowledge of ourselves and the world about us . When humans first 71 , they were like newborn children ,unable to use this 72 tool .Yet once language developed , the possibilities for human kind’s future 73 and cultural growth increased . Many linguists believe that evolution is 74 for our ability to produce and use language . They 75 that our highly evolved brain provides us 76 an innate language ability not found in lower 77 . Proponents of this innateness theory say that our 78 for language is inborn ,but that language itself develops gradually , 79 a function of the growth of the brain during childhood . Therefore there are critical 80 times for language development . Current 81 of innateness theory are mixed ,however ,evidence supporting the existence of some innate abilities is undeniable . 82 , more and more schoolsare discovering that foreign languages are best taught in83 grades . Young children often can learning several language by being 84 to them ,while adults have a much harder time learning another language once the 85 of their first language have bee firmly fixed . 86 some aspects of language are undeniable innate ,language dose not develop automatically in a vacuum . Children who have been 87 from other human beings do not possess language . This demonstrates that 88 with other human beings is necessaryfor proper language development . Some linguists believethat this is even more basic to human language 89 than any innate capacities . These theorists view language as imitative, learned behavior . 90 ,children learn language from their parents by imitating them. Parents gradually shape their child’s language skills by positively reinforcing precise imitations and negatively reinforcing imprecise ones.71. A. generated B. evolved C. born D. originated 72.

Reading is the key to school success, and like any skill, it takes practice．A child learns to walk by practicing until he no longer has to think about how to put one foot in front of the other．An excellent sportsman practices until he can play quickly, correctly and without thinking．Educators （教育家） call it"automaticity （自动性）"．A child learns to read by sounding out the letters and finding the meaning of the words．With more and more practice, he ________ less and less．As time goes on, he can read by the phrases（短语）and soon by sentences．With automaticity, he doesn't have to think about the meaning of words, so that he can give all his attention to the meaning of the text． It can begin as early as first grade．In a recent study of children in Illinois schools, Alan Rossman of Northwestern University found that automatic readers in the first grade not only read almost three times as fast as the others, but also got better results in exams．According to Rossman, the key to automaticity is the amount（数量）of time a child spends reading, not his IQ．Any child who spends at least 3.5to 4hours a week reading books, magazines or newspapers will probably reach automaticity．It can happen if a child turns off TV just one night for reading at home．You can test yourself by reading something new which is suitable for your level．If you read aloud with expression, with a sense of the meaning of the sentences, you probably are an automatic reader．If you read brokenly, one word at a time, without expression or meaning, you need more practice．（1）"Reading is the key to school success"means that reading________．A helps school develop faster．B is a key to a successful school．C helps students go to a key school．D can improve students'learning results．（2）Children with"automaticity"can read faster because they________．A know how to read the word．B pay attention to the meaning of the text．C read by themselves without any help．D do not have to think while reading．（3）Rossman tells that any child who________ will possibly be an automatic reader．A turns off TV one night 4weeks．B reads books by the word quickly．C spends an hour reading every day．D gets the same grades as others in exams．（4）The underlined word"stumble"in the passage means"________"in Chinese．A 结结巴巴地读．B 全神贯注地．C 心不在焉地读．D 声情并茂地读．（5）The passage is mainly about"________"．A IQ is the Key to the Automaticity．B TV Is Bad for Children'sReading． C Automaticity Depends on Practice． D Automatic Reads Will Be Successful．四、填空25. As the Internet becomes more popular，many older media （媒体） businesses are dying out．But TV seems to be doing OK．In fact，it's doing better thanOK．________Hundreds of millions turn to TV to watch World Cup soccer，Olympic Games and Discoveries．In many places，increasing numbers of people can watch more TV than before．Ten years ago，only 44% of British homes had satellite or cable TV（卫星或有线电视）．Today，more than 93% do．More importantly，recent studies show that people are spending more time watching TV．Surprisingly，this is even true of young people between the ages of 8and 18．Today's television industry has given so many choices．As a result，people can watch more of the things they like 24hours a day．The technology behind television has also improved．The big boxes that once filled living rooms are gone．Today's TV screens are thinner and thinner，yet the pictures are better and better．TVs are also moving from living rooms into kitchens and vehicles．For years，TVs have also been used as video game players．But now they have been used in a few new ways．Many televisions can connect to the Internet and record programs．They also let people watch two programs at the same time．Today the most modern television has been on the way of development．The Internet is the main challenge （挑战） for television now．But TV industry has shown that television will be important for years to come．（46）．Studies show that people are spending more time watching TV than before．________ 判断正误（"T"表示正确，"F"表示错误）（47）．Many televisions can________the Internet and record programs．完成句子（48）．Where are TVs moving from living rooms？简略回答________（49）．What is the main challenge for television？简略回答________（50）．将文中画线句子译成汉语________．五、根据句意填空26. 根据句意，用所给单词或短语的适当形式填空．81．Jack got the________place in the 100﹣meter race．82．Nancy often________with her friends in summer．83．The father was________of his son's efforts at school．84．Students are________to share their thoughts by teachers．85．Many schools hold several________of music or sports every year．六、填写适当的句子补全对话27.连词成句将所给词语连成句子，标点已给出。

综合习题一Reading comprehensionPassage 1There are two factors which determine an individual’s intelligence. The first is the sort of brain he is born with. Human brains differ considerably, some being more capable than others. But no matter how good a brain he has to begin with, an individual will have a low order of intelligence unless he has opportunities to learn. So the second factor is what happens to the individual in the sort of environment in which he is reared (养育). If an individual is handicapped (残疾的) environmentally, it is likely that his brain will fail to develop and he will never attain the level of intelligence of which he is capable.The importance of environment in determining an individual’s intelligence can be demonstrated by the case in hi story of the identical twins, Peter and Mark. Being identical, the twins had identical brains at birth, and their growth processes were the same. When the twins were three months old, their parents died, and they were placed in separate foster (收养的) homes. Peter was reared by parents of low intelligence in an isolated community with poor educational opportunities. Mark was reared in the home of well-to-do parents who had been to college. He was reared as a child, sent to good schools, and given every opportunity to be stimulated intelligently. This environmental difference continued until the twins were in their late teens, when they were given tests to measure their intelligence. Mark’s IQ was 125, twenty-five points higher than the average and fully forty points higher than his identical brother. Given equal opportunities, the twins, having identical brains, would have tested roughly the same level.71. The best title of the passage could be___________.A) Measuring Your Intelligence B) Intelligence and EnvironmentC) The Case of Peter and Mark D) How the Brain Influences Intelligence72. Which of the following can sum up the main idea of the passage?A) Environment is important in determining a person’s intelligence.B) Human brains differ considerably.C) The brain a person is born with is important in determining his intelligence.D) Persons having identical brains will have roughly the same intelligence.73. According to the passage, the average I.Q. is __________.A) 85 B) 125 C) 110 D) 10074. The case in history of the twins appears to support the conclusion that __________.A) individuals with identical brains seldom test at the same levelB) an individual’s intelligence is determined only by his environmentC) lack of opportunity blocks the growth of intelligenceD) changes of environment produce changes in the structure of the brain75. This passage suggests that an individual’s I.Q.______.A) can be increased by education B) stays the same throughout his lifeC) can be predicted at birth D) is determined by his childhoodPassage 2The fact that blind people can “see” things using other parts of their bodies apart from their eyes may help us to understand our feelings about color. If they can sense color differences then perhaps we too, are affected by color unconsciously.Manufacturers have discovered by trial and error that sugar sells badly in green wrappings, that blue foods are considered unpleasant, and the cosmetics (化妆品) should never be packaged in brown. These discoveries have grown into a whole discipline of color psychology that now finds application in everything from fashion to interior decoration. Some of our preferences are clearly psychological. Dark blue is the color of the night sky and therefore associated with passivity and calm, while yellow is a day color with associations of energy and incentive (刺激). For primitive man, activity during the day meant hunting and attacking, while he soon saw as red, the color of blood and rage and the heat that came with effort. And green is associated with passive defense and self-preservation. Experiments have shown that colors, partly because of their physiological associations, also have a direct psychological effect. People exposed tobright red show an increase in heartbeat, and blood pressure. Red is exciting. Similar exposure to pure blue has exactly the opposite effect. It is a calming color. Because of its exciting connotations (涵义), red was chosen as the signal for danger, but closer analysis shows that a vivid yellow can produce a more basic state of alertness and alarm, so fire engines and ambulances in some advanced communities are now rushing around in bright yellow colors that stop the traffic dead.76. Manufacturers found out that color affects sales .A) by training over a long period of time B) by experimenting with different colorsC) by trying out color on blind people D) by developing the discipline of color psychology77. Our preferences for certain colors are .A) associated with the time of day B) dependent on our characterC) linked with our primitive ancestors D) partly due to psychological factors78. If people are exposed to bright red, which of the following things does NOT happen?A) They breathe faster. B) They feel afraid.C) Their blood pressure rises. D) Their hearts beat faster.79. Which of the following statements is NOT true according to the passage?A) Color probably has an effect on us which we are not conscious of.B) Yellow fire engines have caused many bad accidents in some advanced communities.C) People exposed to pure blue start to breathe more slowly.D) The psychology of color is of some practical use.80. Which of the following could be the most suitable title?A) The Discipline of Color Psychology. B) Color and Its Connotations.C) The Practical Use of Color. D) Color and Feelings.Passage 3Charles Steinmets, at the age of twenty-seven, was already famous as an electrical genius and was becoming known as a warm-hearted, unusual character. One bitter winter day, an electrical engineer entered Charles’ small laboratory to discuss a problem. He found the youthful scientist working in an overcoat, fur cap and boots, his hands blue with cold. The engineer could not resist asking Charles why he hadn’t built a fire. Charles replied that a mouse had babies in his stove and they were not old enough to move.Born in Germany over a century ago, Charles specialized in mathematics, chemistry, and electrical engineering. In 1889 he emigrated to the United States and found work in a factory located in Yonkers, New York. Although he was offered an important job by the General Electric Company he decided not to accept it. Soon however, the General Electric Company purchased the company in Yonkers where Charles worked. He then moved to Schenectady, New York, and continued his experiments. Out of his laboratory came many experimental discoveries and over two hundred patents. Around that time electricity was used only as direct currents, flowing in one direction. It could not be sent more than several miles from the generator that supplied the power. The experiments that Charles conducted helped the electrical industry move forward in giant strides. One of his major contributions was the simplification of alternating current. In addition to his books on the theory of alternating current, he was also known for studies of lighting.81. This passage is mostly about .A) the growth of the General Electric Company B) the character of the famous scientistC) working conditions for scientists D) a mechanical engineer82. The passage refers to “direct current”, what does it mean in this story?A) the flow of an electrical change B) a small factoryC) an electrical cord D) something that is happening right now83. The scientist’s hands were blue from .A) a disease B) bruise caused by his workC) ink in the laboratory D) the cold84. What do you thi nk the other people in Charles’s life thought of him as a person?A) An eccentric, difficult person who cared only for his friends.B) An intelligent, admirable person who cared for all human life.C) A man out to gain all the status he could from his talent.D) A quite hard-working old man just trying to do his work.85. In the beginning of the passage, an engineer came to see Charles. What happens to Charles next?A) He moves away to a city in New York.B) He can’t figure out how to do the work the eng ineer wants.C) He gets sick from the cold in his laboratory.D) He’s offered a job in Germany.Passage 4Archaeology, like many academic words, comes from Greek and means, more or less, “the study of old things”. So, it is really a part of the study of history. However, most historians use paper evidence, such as letters, paintings and photographs，but archaeologists learn from the objects left behind by the humans of long ago. Normally, these are the hard materials that don't break down or disappear very quickly—things like human bones and objects made from stone and metal.It is very unusual to find anything more than the hard evidence of history--normally, the bacteria (细菌) in the air eat away at soft materials, like bodies, clothes and things made of wood. Occasionally, things are different.In 1984, two men made an amazing discovery while working in a bog called Lindow Moss, in the north of England.A bog is a very wet area of earth, with a lot of plants growing in it. It can be like a very big and very thick vegetable soup—walk in the wrong place and you can sink and disappear forever. The men were working when one of them saw something sticking out—a human foot! Naturally, the men called the police，who then found the rest of the body. Was it a case of murder? Possibly--but it was a death nearly two thousand years old. The two men had found a body from the time of the Roman invasion of Britain. Despite being so old, this body had skin, muscles, hair and internal organs—the scientists who examined him were able to look inside the man's stomach and find the food that he had eaten for his last meal!Why was this man so well preserved? It was because he was in a very watery environment, safe from the bacteria that need oxygen to live. Also, the water in the bog was very acidic. The acid preserved the man's skin in the way that animal skin is preserved for leather coats and shoes.How did he die? Understandably, archaeologists and other scientists wanted to know more about the person that they called,“Lindow Man”. His hands and fingernails suggested that he hadn't done heavy manual work in his life—he could have been a rich man. They found that he hadn't died by accident. The archaeologists believe that he was sacrificed to three different gods.86. Which language does the word “archaeology”come from?A. French.B. Greek.C. Roman.D. German.87. The word “these” in the first paragraph refers to_______.A. lettersB. photographsC. paintingsD. objects88. Which of the following helped to preserve“Lindow Man”?A. Ice and Iow temperature.B. Bacteria and oxygen.C. Soil and energy.D. Acid and water.89. According to the passage, which of the following statements is TRUE?A. “Lindow Man”was named after the person who first found him.B. Historians usually use paper evidence, while archaeologists use hard evidence.C. “Lindow Man” was found by two archaeologists in the south of England.D. “Lindow Man”was good at manual work.90. Which is the best title for the passage?A. What Is Archaeology?B. Archaeology and HistoryC. An Amazing Archaeological DiscoveryD. The Death of“Lindow Man”ClozeWe have quite a bit of information about ancient Egyptian medicine. Doctors' instructions have been found to tell us 56 they did for the sick and the injured. 57 many of the treatments included magic, ancient Egyptians used plant leaves and other methods to treat many 58 .Religion, magic and medicine were 59 related in ancient Egypt.

It was a cheap self-service place with long tables to sit at. I put my heavy bag down on the floor, put the newspaper and chocolate on the table to keep a place and went to get a cup of coffee.When I came back with the coffee, there was someone in the next seat. It was one of those wild-looking boys, with dark glasses and old clothes, and his hair was colored bright red at the front. Not so unusual these days. What did surprise me was that he’d started to eat my chocolate!Naturally, I was rather uneasy about him, but I didn’t want to make more trouble. I just looked down at the front page of the newspaper, tasted my coffee and took a bit of chocolate. The boy looked at me closely. Then he took a second piece of my chocolate. I could hardly believe it. Still I didn’t say anything to him. When he took a th ird piece, I felt more angry than uneasy. I thought, “Well, I shall have the last piece.” and I got it.The boy gave me a strange look, then stood up. As he left he shouted out, “There’s something wrong with this woman!” Everybody looked at me, but it was worse when I finished my coffee and ready to leave.

Fire!” what terrible words to hear when one wakes up in a strange house in the middle of t he night! It was a large, old wooden house----the sort that burn beautifully-----and my room was on the floor. I jumped out of the bed, opened the door and stepped out into the passage. It was full of thick smoke.I began to run, but as I was still only half-awake, instead of going towards the stairs I went in the opposite direction. The smoke grew thicker and I could see flames all around. The floor became hot under my bare feet. I found an open door and ran into a room to get to the window. But before I could reach it, one of my feet caught in something soft and I fell down. The thing I had fallen over felt like a bundle of clothes, and I picked it up to protect my face from the smoke and heat. Just then the floor gave way under me and I crashed to the floor below with pieces of burning wood all around me.I saw a flaming doorway in front, put the bundle over my face and ran. My feet burned me terribly, but I got through. As I reached the cold air out side, my bundle of clothes gave a thin cry. I nearly dropped it in my surprise. Then I saw a crowd gathered in the street. A woman in a nightdress and a borrowed man’s coat screamed as she saw me and came running madly.“My baby! My baby!” she cried. The crowd cheered widely as she took the smoke-blackened bundle out of my arms. I had some difficulty in recognizing her. She was the Mayor’s wife, and I have saved her baby.

It was still too early for me to have my evening meal, so I walked along the seafront (滨海马路) for about an hour until I began to feel hungry. By that time I was not far from a favorite restaurant of mine, where I often went to eat two or three times a week. I knew the owner well and frequently complimented (赞美, 恭维) him on his excellent cooking.I went into the restaurant, which was already crowded, and ordered my meal. While I was waiting for the soup to arrive, I looked around to see if I knew anyone in the restaurant. It was then that I noticed that a man sitting at a corner table near the door kept glancing in my direction, as if he knew me, I certainly did not know him, for I never forgot a face. The man had a newspaper open in front of him, which he was pretending to read, though all the while I could see that he was keeping an eye on me. When the waiter brought my soup, the man was clearly puzzled by the familiar way in which the waiter and I addressed each other. He became even more puzzled as time went on and it grew more and more obvious that I was well known in the restaurant. Eventually he got up and went into the kitchen. After a few minutes he came out again, paid his bill and left without another glance in my direction.When I had finished and was about to pay my bill, I called the owner of the restaurant over and asked him what the man had wanted. The owner was a little embarrassed by my question and at first did not want to tell me. I insisted. “Well,” he said, “that man was a detective.” “Really?” I said, considerably surprised. “He followed you here because he thought you were a man he was looking for,” the owner of the restaurant said. “When he came into the kitchen, he showed me a photograph of the wanted man. He certainly looked like you! Of course, since we know you here, I was able to convince him that he had made a mistake.” “It’s lucky I came to a restaurant where I am known,” I said, “otherwise I might have been arrested!”91.When the author got to his favorite restaurant, it was ___________ .A. already nine o’clockB. eight o’clock on the dotC. about two minutes past eightD. slightly later than eight o’clock92.The man sitting at the corner table near the door kept glancing in the direction of the author because he was __________________ .A. interested in the personality of the authorB. making a study of the authorC. looking up and down the authorD. keeping a lookout over the author93.The author was followed by the detective probably because he ___________ .A. took after a suspectB. was similar to a criminal in personalityC. was an accompliceD. looked like a murderer94.The detective had a newspaper open in front of him in order to ____________ .A. read it in detailB. cover up what he was really doing thereC. have it recheckedD. wait for his food95.According to the text, if the author had been a stranger in the restaurant, he would have been ____________________.A. taken to courtB. followedC. capturedD. sentenced to a f ew years’ imprisonmentPassage DAt Harton College---an English boarding school for boys---there are many rules. Fifteen-year-old Bob Sanders often breaks these rules.The boys can go into town in the afternoon after classes. But they must return to the school at six o’clock. One afternoon Bob walked to the town. He looked at the shops and then went to the cinema. After the film he looked at his watch. It was after eight o’clock. He was a little worried. He walked back to Harton College as fast as pos sible.When he arrived, he ran quickly to the main entrance. It was locked. He looked up at the window of his dormitory. It was on the third floor. The window was open. But it was quite dark and he went round the school building to another door. That one was lo cked too. He couldn’t climb up the wall very easily. Then he saw another open window on the ground floor. It was the window of the headmaster’s study.He looked into the room-----no one was there. Bob quickly climbed on to the window sill (窗台) and jumped into the room. Just then he heard a noise. Then some one turned on a light in the corridor. Bob looked around and then hid under the sofa. One minute later, Mr. Mannering, the headmaster, came in. He turned on the light on his desk, and sat down on the sofa. Then he opened a book and began to read.Bob lay under the sofa as quietly as possible. He could not move. The floor was cold and uncomfortable. He looked at the headmaster’s shoes and socks for an hour.“Why doesn’t he get up and go to bed?” he thought.Finally, the headmaster closed his book and stood up. He put the book on a shelf and walked towards the door.“Thank heavens, he didn’t find me under the sofa!” thought Bob.Then Mr. Mannering stopped and spoke towards the sofa. “Would you turn off the light when you leave?” he said and left the study.96.According to the passage, it is required that students of Harton College _________ .A. come back to the college at six o’clock if they go to town after classesB. may stay out until midnight if they likeC. should leave school when class is overD. may do whatever they like97.When Bob realized it was too late to return to Harton College as required, it was already _________ .A. 8:00B. 9:00C. later than 8:00D. midnight98.Bob stole into the courtyard of his college by means of ________ .A. the main entranceB. going around the school building to another doorC. jumping over the wallD. climbing into the window of his headmaster’s study99.Bob hid himself under the sofa probably because he was afraid of ______________ .A. being punished for his theftB. being found to have returned lateC. being dismissed for his wrongdoingD. being capture alive on the spot100.In the light of what his headmaster said towards the sofa, it can be safely concluded that the headmaster had already ________________ .A. excused BobB. forgiven BobC. found Bob hiding under the sofaD. punished BobClozeOne afternoon I was sitting at my favorite table in a restaurant , waiting for the food I had ordered to arrive .

For this was what the notice just inside the entrance promised. It said: “Remember, once a week, one of our customers gets free goods. This May Be Your Lucky Day!”For several weeks Mrs. Edwards hoped, like many of her friends, to be the lucky customer. Unlike her friends, she never gave up hoping. The cupboards in kitchen were full of things which she did not need. Her husband tried to advise her against buying things but failed. She dreamed of the day when the manager of the supermarket would approach her and say: “Madam, this is Your Lucky Day. Everything in your basket is free.”One Friday morning, after she had finished her shopping and had taken it to her car, she found that she had forgotten to buy any tea. She dashed back to the supermarket, got the tea and went towards the cash-desk. As she did so, she saw the manager of the supermarket approach her. “Madam,” he said, holding out his hand, “ I want to congratulate you! You are our lucky custome r and everything you have in your basket is free!”51. The housewives learnt about the offer of free goods _____.A. on TVB. from the managerC. at the supermarketD. from the newspaper52. Mrs. Edwards _____.A.is always very busyB.had no friendsC.hoped to get free shoppingD.gets disappointed easily53. Mrs. Edwards’s husband tried to _____.A.make her unhappyB.cheer her upC.buy things with herD.stop her buying things54. Mrs. Edwards went back to the supermarket quickly because she had to _____.A. buy another thingB. talk to the managerC. pay for her shoppingsD. find her shopping55. Mrs. Edwards must have been _____.A. pleasedB. delightedC. proudD. disappointedPassage TwoGenerations of Americans have been brou ght up to believe that a good breakfast is one life’s essentials. Eating breakfast at the start of the day, we have all been told, and told again, is as necessary as putting gasoline in the family car before starting a trip.But for many people the thought of food first thing in the morning is by no means a pleasure. So despite all the efforts, they still take no breakfast. Between 1977 and 1983, the latest year for which figures are available, the number of people who didn’t have breakfast, increased by 33 percent.For those who fee pain of guilt about not eating breakfast, however, there is some good news. Several studies in the last few years indicate that, for adults especially, there may be nothing wrong with omitting breakfast. “Going without breakfast does not affect performance,” said Arrold E. Bender, former professor of the nutrition at Queen Elizabeth College in London, “nor does giving people breakfast improve performance.”Scientific evidence linking breakfast to better health or better performance is surprisingly inadequate, and most of the recent work involves children, not adults, “The literature”, says one researcher, Dr. Erresto at the University of Texas, “ is poor”.56. The latest year for which figures could be obtained is _____.A. the year the author wrote the articleB. 1977C. any year between 1977 and 1983D. 198357. For those who do not take breakfast, the good news is that _____.A. several studies have been done in the past few years.B. the omission of breakfast does no ha rm to one’s healthC. adults have especially made studies in this fieldD. eating little in the morning is good for health58. “…nor does giving people breakfast improve performance” means _____.。

It is widely celebrated, with different names, in many countries. Although it started as a religious holiday, it has lost its religious connections in the United States. It is now celebrated largely as a children’s day, and many American children look forward to it for days and weeks before-hand.The orange pumpkin is harvested at this time of year and is hollowed out, a funny face cut into it and a candle placed inside, and put in the window as a decoration. City folks, nowadays, sometimes use paper pumpkins for decorations.Some years ago, the holiday was celebrated by dressing up in strange and frightening costumes and playing tricks on one’s neighbors and friends, such as ringing door bell, throwing bits of corn at window panes, and making small troubles in other ways.More recently, children have begun to go door to door to have friends and neighbors admire their costumes and give treats of candy, fruit or cookies. They say, “Trick or Treat”, meaning, “I will play a trick on you if you don’t give me a treat.” This practice has even recently developed into an international activity. Instead of, or along with candy, children collect money for UNICEF (the United Nations International Children’s Emergency Fund). This special collection of money by children for poor children throughout the world is known as “UNICEF Trick or Treat”.16.

Peace was made in England, but the news of peace took six weeks to reach America. During these six weeks, the large and serious Battle of New Orleans was fought. Many people lost their lives after a peace treaty had been signed. They would not have died of news had come in time. In the past, communication took much more time than it does now. There was a good reason why the world seemed so much larger than it does today.21. Thanks to _______, we can gain brand-new ideas and news of events from all over the world.A. DisastersB. EuropeC.

For each of them there are 4 choices marked A, B, C and D. You should decide on the best choice, and mark the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet.Passage 1I’m a Chinese student studying in Canada. I have been a boarder with the Carsons for more than a year and a half.The Carsons live in their own house, which has four bedrooms including the one in the basement(底层) which I live in. Judy does all the work in the house and Andrew is responsible for the work in the garden. When they go out in the evening, they often ask me to look after their children.Judy’s parents, Mr. and Mrs. Morris, lived in another city. Judy was their only child and naturally they doted on(宠爱) Judy’s children. They often sent the children presents.Last April Mr. Morris died. Now that Mrs. Morris was quite alone, I expected that Judy would want her to come and live with them. One day, Margaret told me grandma was coming to live with them and her daddy and mummy woul d want my room back. The news didn’t surprise me and the next day I went to Judy and asked her about it. I said I couldn’t think of living in their basement room any longer if it was needed for Mrs. Morris. Judy seemed surprised at first. Then she told me there was no need for me to move, for they hadn’t yet come to any decision about her mother coming to live with them. “Naturally I’m worried about my mother. She has been in poor health.” She smiled sadly and added. “To be honest, Andrew and my mother have never got on well. We’ll wait a bit and see what happens. Perhaps Mother will be all right living herself, or perhaps they will both change their minds.”That was six months ago. During this time I’ve heard that Mrs. Morris has had two illnesses and that her health has got worse. A nursing home was mentioned once but Mrs. Morris refused to go there. So up to now she’s still living alone and I’m still living in the basement room.61. What is the relationship between the speaker and the Carsons?A. He is a brother of Andrew Carson.B. He is a close friend of the Carsons.C. He is a student of Judy Carson.D. He is a student who pays to live and have meals at the Carsons’ house.62. Why did the speaker expect Mrs. Morris to come to live with her daughter?A. Because Mr. Morris was dead.B. Because Mrs. Morris suffered from illness.C. Because Mrs. Morris lived all by herself.D. Because of all the reasons mentioned in A, B and C.63. Which of the following statements is NOT true according to the passage?A. Mrs. Morris was coming to live with the Carsons, so they asked the speaker to move.B. Judy had no brothers or sisters to look after her mother.C. Mrs. Morris loved her grandchildren very much.D. The Carsons once suggested that Mrs. Morris go to live in a nursing home.64. Why didn’t Mrs. Morris come to live with her daughter’s family?A. Because the speaker lived in the basement room and there was no other room for her tolive in.B. Because she did not have a good relationship with her son in law.C. Because she was in rather poor health and could not come.D. Because she did not want to leave her own house.65. Which of the following would be the best title for the passage?A. My LandladyB. The BoarderC. Family Relationships in CanadaD. Nursing Homes and the AgedPassage 2Overhead bridges are found in many parts of Beijing, especially in places where traffic is very heavy and crossing the road is dangerous.The purpose of these bridges is to enable pedestrians to cross roads safely. Overhead bridges are used in very much the same way as a zebra crossing. They are more efficient although lessconvenient because people have to climb up a long flight of steps. This is inconvenient especially to older people. When pedestrians use an overhead bridge, they do not hold up traffic. However, when they cross a busy road using a zebra crossing, traffic is held up. This is why the government has built many overhead bridges to help pedestrians and to keep traffic moving at the same time.The government of Beijing has spent a large amount of money on building these bridges. For their own safety, pedestrians should be encouraged to use them instead of risking their lives by dashing across the road. Old people, however, may find it a little difficult climbing up and down the steps, but it is still much safer than walking across the road with all the danger of moving traffic.Overhead bridges serve a very useful purpose. Pedestrians, both old and young, should make it a habit to use them. This will prevent unnecessary accidents and loss of life.66. What is the advantage of overhead bridges mentioned in this passage?A. Taller trucks can pass under them.B. Pedestrians can climb up and have a view of the city.C. They are safer for pedestrians and can keep traffic moving at the same time.D. They are easier and more convenient for the pedestrians.67. Why were overhead bridges built in Beijing?A. Because they prevent traffic from being held up.B. Because they provide an easy way for the drivers to cross the road.C. Because they save money for the government.D. Because they save time for the pedestrians.68. Which of the following statements is true according to the passage?A. Overhead bridges are found in every part of Beijing.B. Overhead bridges are only found in the centre of Beijing.C. Overhead bridges are found in many parts of big cities in China.D. Overhead bridges are found in places where traffic is heavy.69. The underlined words “a zebra crossing” probably mean ______.A. a safe place across a road for pedestrians to walk across the roadB. a wild animal from Africa that looks like a horse with broad dark brown and white stripes on its bodyC. a safe place across a road for zebras to walk across the roadD. a safe place across a road for older people to rest in70. What is the writer’s attitude towards overhead bridges?A. It is inconvenient to older people to walk across the road.B. It is much safer for pedestrians though climbing up and down the steps may be a littledifficult.C. An overhead bridge is more beautiful than a zebra crossing.D. To build overhead bridges is the business of the government.Passage 3There was a time when，if a lady got into a crowded bus or train，a gentleman would immediately stand up and offer his seat. But now，things are different. Today a gentleman will probably look out of the window or if he feels a bit shy，hide behind his newspaper. Either way，the lady will have to stand until someone else gets off.You can’t entirely blame men for this change in manners，though. Gone are the days when women could be referred to as weakers without causing trouble. A whole generation of women has grown up demanding equality with men，not just equality in jobs or education，but in social life. Hold a door open for some women and you are likely to get an angry lecture on treating women as inferiors(能力低下的人) unable to open doors for themselves. Take a girl out for meal and she’ll probably insist on paying her share of the bill. On second thoughts，that is perhaps not such a bad idea.It’s no wonder，then, that men have given up some ways of politeness and consideration which they used to show towards women. On the other hand，the man’s active politeness is perhaps slowly being replaced by true consideration for the needs and feelings of women，so that men can see women as equal human beings，rather than as weakers or something that can be used to please men.71. Today, when a lady gets on a crowded bus or train, a gentleman would probably______ .A. stand up and offer her his seatB. read his newspaperC. look out of the windowD. not stand up and offer her his seat72. What men do towards women on a crowded bus or train today is______ .A. really badB. strange enoughC. not entirely wrongD. entirely wrong73. The new generation of women wants to be______ .A. treated not as the weaker sexB. treated as the weaker sexC. cared for on buses and trainsD. better treated than before74. According to the passage, which of the following is Not correct?A. Some women may get angry if you open the door for them.B. Girls don’t want you to pay for meal at all.C. Some women may criticize you if you show too much politeness to them.D. A girl may be unhappy if you insist on paying her share of the bill.75. From this passage, we know that______ .A. women need true consideration of their needs and feelingsB. men have given up some politeness they used to show to womenC. women often get angry if you’re polite to themD. women should stand in the bus or trainPassage 4Family” is of course an elastic word. But when British people say that their society is based on family life, they are thinking of “family” in its narrow, peculiarly European sense of mother, father and children living together alone in their own house as an economic and social unit. Thus, every British marriage indicates the beginning of a new and independent family—hence the tremendous importance of marriage in British life.For both the man and the woman, marriage means leaving one’s parents and starting one’s own life. The man’s first duty will then be to his wife, and the wife’s to her husband. He will be entirely responsible for her financial support, and she for the running of the new home. Their ch ildren will be their common responsibility and theirs alone. Neither the wife’s parents nor the husband’s, nor their brothers or sisters, aunts or uncles, have any right to interfere with them—they are their own masters.Readers of novels like Jane Austen’s Pride and Prejudice will know that in former times marriage among wealthy families was arranged by the girl’s parents, that is, it was the parents’ duty to find a suitable husband for their daughter, preferably a rich one, and by skillfulencouragement to lead him eventually to ask their permission to marry her. Until that time, the girl was protected and maintained in the parents’ home, and the financial relief of getting rid of her could be seen in their giving the newly married pair a sum of money called a dowry(嫁妆). It is very different today. Most girls of today get a job when they leave school and become financially independent before their marriage. This has had two results: a girl chooses her own husband, and she gets no dowry.76. What does th e author mean by “‘Family’ is of course an elastic word”?A. Different families have different ways of life.B. Different definitions could be given to the word.C. Different nations have different families.D. Different times produce different families.77. For an English family, the husband’s duty is______ .A. supporting the family while the wife is financialB. defending the family while the wife is running the homeC. financial while the wife is running the homeD. independent while the wife is dependent78. Everything is decided in a family______ .A. by the coupleB. with the help of their parentsC. by brothers and sistersD. with the help of aunts and uncles79. What is TRUE concerning the book Pride and Prejudice?A. It is the best book on marriage.B. It is a handbook of marriage.C. It gives quite some ideas of English social life in the past.D. It provides a lot of information of former time wealthy families.80. With regard to marriage in Britain, present day girls differ from former time girls in______ .A. the right to marryB. more parental supportC. choosing husbandsD. social positionPart Ⅳ Translation (1.5×10 points)Directions：There are 10 sentences in this section.

2012年5月河北省成人本科英语真题试卷(题后含答案及解析)题型有：1. There was a big pile of bricks on the top of a tall building and a man had to bring them down to the ground. He had a long rope which went over a pulley(滑轮)at the roof of the building. The other end was fastened to a big box. First he pulled the box up to the top of the building, and fastened the end of the rope so that the box could not come down. Then he climbed up the ladder and filled the box with bricks. Next he climbed down the ladder and untied the rope. Unfortunately the box of bricks was heavier than the man, and as a result he was pulled up by the rope. Half - way up, the box of bricks hit him as it was coming down. When he reached the top, his head hit the pulley. The box of bricks hit the ground and broke. As a result the bricks fell out. The box was then lighter than the man and consequently he began to come down and the box began to go up. Half-way up, the box hit the man. The man still held on to the rope and the box therefore continued to go up. The man then reached the ground. Then he let go the rope to rub his head. The box, of course, then fell down and hit the man on the head again. As a result, an ambulance came and took him to hospital.1．Why did the man fasten the end of the rope before he climbed up the ladder?A．He was afraid that someone would steal his box.B．Because he wanted to climb up along the rope.C．He fastened the end of the rope in order to keep the box unmoved.D．Because he wanted to prevent the box from coming down.正确答案：D解析：此题为细节题。

For them, "bend the trend" is a social movement that invites everyone to make a lifestyle change. For example,they example to work by bicycle instead of going by car,to reduce greenhouse gas emissions(排放).When it comes to reading,trend-benders have their own ideas."

It is like bringing the world to your mailbox.Fiona, a member of ,says,''I love swapping postcards!Although it seems quite time-consuming to pick one ,write it and post it ,it is the amusement of receiving a flash of sunshine or humor that makes it worthwhile.''51.The underlined word ''Swapping''in Paragraph 1 means ____ .A.exchangingB.designingC.collectingD.writing52.The first paragraph tells us that ____ .A.postcards are simple and beautifulB.Swapping postcards is a hobby for all peopleC.Swapping postcards can keep pen friends in contactD.Those who swap postcards have lost interest in the real word53.Which of the following is true of ?A.Its members should pay for registrationB.It was created for a particular purposeC.Its members can share different hobbiesD.It was started by a group of citizens54.When will your name be added to the list of people to receive postcards on ?A.After one confirms the reception of your postcard.B.After you e-mail your first postcard.C.After you register on the websiteD.After one receives your address55.In Fiona's eyes,swapping postcards is ____ .A.time-savingbor-savingC.worthwhileD.humorousPassage 3Listening is an extremely complex communicative activity. In order to have a better understanding, to anticipate what is coming is very important.An effective listener should continuously develop more or less specific readiness for what will come next. If a listener hears what he has expected, it will be much easier for him to receive the information.But if what he hears is totally out of his expectation,he will fail to get the message.The skill to anticipate what is coming in listening comprehension depends largely on the listener's familiarity with the theme（主题）of the message.It also depends on the listener's knowledge of the speaker as well as the situation.Obviously, when we listen to something that we already have some information about, it is generally much easier for us to take in the new information .Therefore,pre-listening preparation seems to play an important role in increasing our comprehension .Before actual listening ,we could perhaps first give some thought to the topic ,discuss it with others ,and then read some related material and do some vocabulary work. If we could make ourselves fully prepared for the coming talks or lectures,we are more likely to become effective listeners.Of course,readiness beforehand is not at all enough .Active thinking must take place all the way through .In fact ,we should always try to think ahead of the speaker.56.The passage is most possible taken from ____ .A.a novelB.a textbookC.a news reportD.a fashion magazine57.What is the first paragraph mainly about?A.How to think actively in listening comprehension.B.How to develop specific readiness before listening.C.The skills in anticipating in listening comprehension.D.The importance of anticipating in listening comprehension.58.The skill to anticipate in listening comprehension depends largely on ____ .A.the listener's emotionB.the difficulty of the messageC.the listener's communicative skillsD.The listener's familiarity with the topic59.In order to anticipate ,the first thing to do before actual listening may be ____ .A.do some vocabulary workB.think about the topicC.read some related materialD.discuss the topic with others60.What is the author's attitude towards anticipating in listening comprehension?A.Neutral.B.Positive.C.Negative.D.Critical.Passage 4When men get stick，they act like babies ，say women . But maybe the fairer sex should learn something useful from these guys ----it could save their lives，say researchers at the University of Michigan.When women have a heart attack ,they’re more likely to put off seeking help the men ,and after an attack,they’re less likely to take steps to improve their health . What’s the reason for the different responses? The results of a survey suggest that women are too tough; they think heart problem are simply not a big deal . When Steven Erickson and his colleagues asked 348 men and 142 women who had been admitted to the hospital for a heart attack about their symptoms and medication (用药情况)，they found that even though the women had more symptoms and were taking more medicine they rated their disease as being no more severe than the men did .For more on women and heart disease ,go to .61.The underlined expression "the fairer sex" in Paragraph 1 refers to ____ .A. menB. babiesC. womenD.researchers62.

Although it started as a religious holiday, it has lost its religious connections in the United States. It is now celebrated largely as a children’s day, and many American children look forward to it for days and weeks beforehand.The orange pumpkin is harvested at this time of year and is hollowed out, a funny face cut into it and a candle placed inside,and put in the window as a decoration. City folks, nowadays,sometimes use paper pumpkinsSome years ago，the holiday was celebrated by dressing up in strange and frightening costumes and playing tricks on one's neighbors and friends, such as ringing door bell, throwing bits of corn at window panes, and making small troubles in other ways.More recently, children have begun to go door to door to have friends and neighbors admire their costumes and give treats of candy, fruit or cookies. They say, “Trick or Treat”，meaning, "I will play a trick on you if you don’t give me a treat.”This practice has even recently developed into an international activity. Instead of, or along with candy, children collect money for UNICEF (the United Nations International Children's Emergency Fund). This special collection of money by children for poor children throughout the world is known as "UNICEF Trick or Treat".16. Halloween is a holiday that____________.A. is celebrated as a children’s day all over the worldB. is for giving strange costumes to friendsC. comes from a religious holidayD. is celebrated by UNICEF17.

February 14.D. October 31Passage 2Questions 21--25 are based on the following passage.Telephone, television, radio, and the Internet help people communicate with each other. Because of these devices, ideas and news of events spread quickly all over the world. For example, news of a disaster, such as a flood, can bring help from distant countries. Within hours, help is on the way. This is because modem technology information travels fast.How has this speed of communication changed the world? To many people, the world has become smaller. Two hundred years ago, communication between the continents took a long time. All news was carried on ships that took weeks or even months to cross the ocean. In the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries, it took six weeks for news from Europe to reach America. This time difference influenced people’s actions. For example, a few battles in the War of 1812 between England and the United States could have been avoided. A peace agreement had already been signed. Peace was made in England, but the news of peace took six weeks to reach America. During these six weeks, the large and serious Battle of New Orleans was fought Many people lost their lives after a peace treaty had been signed. They would not have died if news had come in time. In the past, communication took much more time than it does now. There was a good reason why the world seemed so much larger than it does today.21. Thanks to____________, we can gain brand-new ideas and news of events from all over the world.A. disastersB. EuropeC. ocean travelD. modem technologyA. Ocean travel between Europe and America.B. The War of 1812 between the US and England.C. Agreeing on peace during the War of 1812.D. The Battle of New Orleans that wasn’t avoided.23. Some battles in the war between England and America could have been avoided ifA. people had signed the peace agreement soonerB. the peace agreement had reached America earlierC. the peace agreement had not been lost on the wayD. people of the two countries had taken some actions24. What attitude did the writer hold to the people who died in the War of 1812?A. Curious.B. Amazed.C. Sympathetic.D. Angry.25. Which is the most appropriate title for this passage?A. Modem Technology and CommunicationB. A Peace AgreementC. The Unnecessary War of 1812D. People in the Information AgePassage 3Questions 26—30 are based on the following passage.Dream is a story that a person "watches" or even takes part in during sleep. Dream events are imaginary, but they are related to real experiences and needs in the dreamer’s life. They seem real while they are taking place. Some dreams are pleasant, others are annoying, and still others are frightening.Everyone dreams, but some persons never recall dreaming. Others remember only a little about a dream they had just before awakening and nothing about earlier dreams. No one recalls all his dreams.Dreams involve little logical thought. In most dreams, the dreamer cannot control what happens to him. The story may be confusing, and things happen that would not happen in real life.

Most dreams occur in color, but persons who have been blind since birth do not see at all in dreams.Dreams are at product of the sleeper's mind. They include events and feelings that he has experienced . Most dreams are related to events of the day before the dream and strong wishes of the dreamer. Many minor incidents of the hours before sleep appear in dreams. Few events more than two days old turn up. Deep wishes or fears —especially those held since childhood一often appear in dreams, and many dreams fulfill such wishes. Events in the sleeper’s surroundings —a loud noise, for example, may become part of a dream, but they do not cause dreams.Some dreams involve deep feelings that a person may not realize he has. Psychiatrists (精神病医生）often use material from a patient's dreams to help the person understand himself better.Dreaming may help maintain good learning ability, memory and emotional adjustment. People who get plenty of sleep一but are awakened each time they begin to dream—become anxious and restless.26.
