Part I Passage Dictation (短文听写) (15分)
Part II Reading Comprehension (阅读理解) (40分,每小题2分)Passage One
Suppose we built a robot to explore the planet Mars. We provide the robot with seeing detectors to keep it away from danger. It is powered entirely by the sun. Should we program the robot to be equally active at all times? No. The robot would be using up energy at a time when it was not receiving any. So we would probably program it to cease its activity at night and to wake up at dawn the next morning.
According to the evolutionary theory of sleep, evolution equipped us with a regular pattern of sleeping and waking for the same reason. The theory does not deny that sleep provides some important restorative functions. It merely says that evolution has programmed us to perform those functions at a time when activity would be inefficient and possibly dangerous. However, sleep protects us only from the sort of trouble we might walk into; it does not protect us from trouble that comes looking for us. So we sleep well when we are in a familiar, safe place, but we sleep lightly, if at all, when we fear that bears will nose into the tent.
The evolutionary theory accounts well for differences in sleep among creatures. Why do cats, for instance, sleep so much, while horses sleep so little? Surely cats do not need five times as much repair and restoration as horses do. But cats can afford to have long periods of inactivity because they spend little time eating and are unlikely to be attacked while they sleep. Horses must spend almost all their waking hours eating, because what they eat is very low in energy value. Moreover, they cannot afford to sleep too long or too deeply, because their survival depends on their ability to run away from attackers.
1. The author uses the example of the robot in space exploration to tell us _____.
A) the differences between robots and men
B) the reason why men need to sleep
C) about the need for robots to save power
D) about the danger of men working at night
2. Evolution has programmed man to sleep at night chiefly to help him _______.
A) maintain a regular pattern of life
B) prevent trouble that comes looking for him
C) avoid danger and inefficient labor D) restore his bodily functions
3. According to the author, we cannot sleep well when we _________.
A) are worrying about our safety B) are overworked
C) are in a tent D) are away from home
4. Cats sleep much more than horses do partly because cats ________.
A)n eed more time for restoration
B) are unlikely to be attackers
C) are more active than horses when they are awake
D) spend less time eating to get enough energy
5. Which of the following is the main idea of the passage?
A) Evolution has equipped all creatures with a regular pattern of sleeping and waking.
B) The study of sleep is an important part of the evolutionary theory.
C) Sleeping patterns must be taken into consideration in the designing of robots.
D) The sleeping pattern of a living creature is determined by the food it eats. Passage Two
Foxes and farmers have never got on well. These small dog-like animals have long been accused of killing farm animals. They are officially classified as harmful and farmers try to keep their numbers down by shooting or poisoning them.
Farmers can also call on the services of their local hunt to control the fox population. Hunting consists of pursuing a fox across the countryside, with a group of specially trained dogs, followed by men and women riding horses.
When the dogs eventually catch the fox they kill it or a hunter shoots it.
People who take part in hunting think of it as a sport; they wear a special uniform of red coats and white trousers, and follow strict codes of behavior. But owning a horse and hunting regularly is expensive, so most hunters are wealthy.
It is estimated that up to 100,000 people watch or take part in fox hunting. But over the last couple of decades the number of people opposed to fox hunting, because they think it is brutal, has risen sharply. Nowadays it is rare for a hunt to pass off without some kind of confrontation between hunters and hunt saboteurs (阻拦者). Sometimes these incidents lead to violence, but mostly saboteurs interfere with the hunt by misleading riders and disturbing the trail of the fox's smell, which the dogs follow.
Noisy confrontations between hunters and saboteurs have become so common that they are almost as much a part of hunting as the pursuit of foxes itself. But this year supporters of fox hunting face a much bigger threat to their sport. A Labour Party Member of the Parliament, Mike Foster, is trying to get Parliament to approve a new law which will make the hunting of wild animals with dogs illegal. If the law is passed, wild animals like foxes will be protected under the ban in Britain.
6. Rich people in Britain have been hunting foxes _______.
A) for recreation C) to limit the fox population
B) in the interests of the farmers D) to show off their wealth
7. What is special about fox hunting in Britain?
A) It involves the use of a deadly poison.
B) It is a costly event which rarely occurs.
C) The hunters have set rules to follow.
D) The hunters have to go through strict training.
8. Fox hunting opponents often interfere in the game________.
A) by resorting to violence C) by taking legal action
B) by confusing the fox hunters D) by demonstrating on the scene
9. A new law may be passed by the British Parliament to________.
A) prohibit farmers from hunting foxes
B) forbid hunting foxes with dogs
C) stop hunting wild animals in the countryside
D) prevent large-scale fox hunting
10. It can be inferred from the passage that ________.
A) killing foxes with poison is illegal
B) limiting the fox population is unnecessary
C) hunting foxes with dogs is considered cruel and violent
D) fox-hunting often leads to confrontation between the poor and the rich Passage Three
Like many of my generation, I have a weakness for hero worship. At some point, however, we all begin to question our heroes and our need for them. This leads us to ask: What is a hero?
Despite immense differences in cultures, heroes around the world generally share a number of characteristics that instruct and inspire people. A hero does something worth talking about. A hero has a story of adventure to tell and a community who will listen. But a hero goes beyond mere fame. Heroes serve powers or principles larger than themselves. Like high-voltage transformers, heroes take the energy of higher powers and step it down so that it can be used by ordinary people.
The hero lives a life worthy of imitation. Those who imitate a genuine hero experience life with new depth, enthusiasm, and meaning. A sure test for would-be heroes is what or whom do they serve? What are they willing to live and die for? If the answer or evidence suggests they serve only their own fame, they may be famous persons but not heroes. Madonna and Michael Jackson are famous, but who would claim that their fans find life more abundant?
Heroes are catalysts (催化剂) for change. They have a vision from the
mountaintop. They have the skill and the charm to move the masses. They create new possibilities. Without Gandhi, India might still be part of the British Empire. Without Rosa Parks and Martin Luther King, Jr., we might still have segregated
(隔离的) buses, restaurants, and parks. It may be possible for large scale change
to occur without leaders with magnetic personalities, but the pace of change would be slow, the vision uncertain, and the committee meetings endless.
11. Although heroes may come from different cultures, they _______.
A)generally possess certain inspiring characteristics
B)probable share some weaknesses of ordinary people
C)are often influenced by previous generations
D) all unknowingly attract a large number of fans
12. According to the passage, heroes are compared to high-voltage transformers in that _____________ .
A) they have a vision from the mountain top
B) they have warm feelings and emotions
C) they can serve as concrete examples of noble principles
D) they can make people feel stronger and more confident
13.Madonna and Michael Jackson are not considered heroes because ______.
A) they are popular only among certain groups of people
B) their performances do not improve their fans morally
C) their primary concern is their own financial interests
D) they are not clear about the principles they should follow
14. Gandhi and Martin Luther King are typical examples of outstanding leaders who ___________.
A) are good at demonstrating their charming characters
B) can move the masses with their forceful speeches
C) are capable of meeting all challenges and hardships
D) can provide an answer to the problems of their people
15. The author concludes that historical changes would _________ .
A) be delayed without leaders with inspiring personal qualities
B) not happen with out heroes making the necessary sacrifices
C) take place if there were heroes to lead the people
D) produce leaders with attractive
Passage 4
BOXING. The rules which now govern professional boxing were issued by the British Boxing Board of Control in 1929. For championships the ring is from 14 to 20 feet square and the gloves weigh 6 ounces. Fifteen rounds of 3 minutes’ duration are fought, with a minute interval between each. The bout is won by a blow to the chin, heart, or solar plexus which knocks out the opponent for not less than 10 seconds—or a boxer may win on “points”, which are scored for the number of blows or style of fighting. The winner of each round is given 5 points, the loser whatever proportion to this total he was earned. Points are scored for clean hits with the closed glove of either hand, and for skilful defensive work. Where two men are otherwise equal, the attacker benefits. Each boxer has a second whose duty it is to look after him between rounds, cooling him with a towel, sponging his face, and giving him advice—it is an old boxing saying that a good second is half the battle.
The following statements are True (T) or False (F)?
16. A whole boxing match lasts 3 minutes.
A. T
B. F
17. Between every two rounds the boxers can rest for one minute.
A. T

18. The bout is won if the boxer hit his opponent on the chin, heart, or solar
plexus.
A. T
B. F 19. Points are scored only for the number of blows.
A. T
B. F
20. “A good second is half the battle” means “a good beginning is half the
battle.”
A. T
B. F

You should choose the ONE that best fits into the passage. Then mark the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet with a single line through the center.
A language is a signaling system which operates with symbolic vocal sounds (语声), and which is used by a group of people for the purpose of communication.
Let’s look at this 51 in more detail because it is language, more than anything else, 52 distinguishes man from the rest of the 53 world. Other animals, it is true, communicate with one another by 54 of cries: for example, many birds utter 55 calls at the approach of danger; monkeys utter 56 cries, such as expressions of anger, fear and pleasure. 57 these various means of communication differ in important ways 58 human language.
For instance, animals’ cries do not 59 thoughts and feelings clearly. This means, basically, that they lack structure. They lack the kind of structure that 60 us to divide a human utterance into 61.
We can change an utterance by 62 one word in it with 63: a good illustration of this is a soldier who can say, e.g., “tanks approaching from the north”, 64 who can c hange one word and say “aircraft approaching from the north” or “tanks approaching from the west”; but a bird has a single alarm cry, 65 means “danger!”
This is why the number of 66 that an animal can make is very limited: the great tit (山雀) is a case 67 point; it has about twenty different calls, 68 in human language the number of possible utterances is 69 . It also explains why animal cries are very 70 in meaning.

综合英语I 参考答案
Part I Dictation (15分)
There are many things you can do outside of school to prepare yourself for a newspaper job. Read everything that you can, especially newspapers and magazines. Discuss what you read and form your own opinions. When you read an article, notice how it is written as well as what it says. If you don’t read a lot and don’t think about what you read, your own writing will show it.
You should also take time to discover how your city government works. Go to meetings where laws are being made. Some people think that newspapers deal mostly with murders and other forms of crime but actually more of a day’s news comes from ordinary sources: government offices, business meetings, social clubs and so on. The more you know about them, the more successful you will be.
