In fact, even though he was the first American man to ever win the downhill skiing event, many 26 him as a true Olympic hero. He was a rebellious kid who came from a troubled background, and he boasted too much. Moreover, he only became 27 in skiing because a judge sent him to a ski school after he had stolen a car at age 17. There was no lifelong 28 to the sport. He did not 29 the Olympic spirit. He did not gain distinction by continuously training for his event.Still, few failed to 30 his marvelous race in the 1984 Winter Olympic Games in Sarajevo. He was just a natural skier and his technique was 31 for the course. And so even before the race began, he was 32 victory. "This course was made for me. Nothing can stop me," he had boasted. He also caused some comments when he talked about the millions of dollars he would be able to make after he won the race. This made many skiers 33 toward him. That just 34 him even more. Then on the day of the event, he turned out the fastest. "It takes a lot of courage to throw yourself down a mountain," Bill Johnson 35 proudly after he won a gold medal for the United States. "Not many can do that."第 2 页共 5 页命题教师：刘艳茹审核人：Ⅲ Read the following passages and choose the best answer. （2 points each ， 30 points in all ）Passage 1I'm beginning to wonder whether my grandmother isn't right when she complains, as she frequently does, that children nowadays aren't as well-mannered as they used to be. Whenever she gets the opportunity, she describes in detail how she used to be told to respect her elders and betters. She was taught to speak only when she was spoken to, and when she went out on her own, she was reminded to say "please" and "thank you". Children in her day, she continues, were expected to be seen and not heard, but these days you are lucky if you ever hear parents telling their children to mind their p's and q's.If you give her the chance she then takes out of her desk the old photograph album which she keeps there, and which she never tires of displaying. Of course when you look at pictures of her parents you feel sure that, with a father as hard-looking as that, you, too, would have been "seen and not heard". Beside him sits his wife, with their children around her: Granny and her elder brothers. It always occurs to me that perhaps those long, stiff, black clothes were very heavy to a little girl, that she hadn't enough breath left to talk, let alone bad. It must have been a dull and lonely life too, for she stayed mainly at home during her childhood, while her brothers were sent away to school from an early age.That said, my childhood was much freer than Granny's. I went to school with my brother, and I played football with him and his friends. We all spoke a common language and we got up to the same trouble. I would have died if I had had to stay indoors, wear a tight frock (女式礼服), and sew.36. How can we understand "children in her day were expected to be seen and not heard"? A. Children were not supposed to be heard by others.B. Children were not supposed to hear their parents' conversation.C. Children were not supposed to speak in the face of others.D. Children were not supposed to speak until asked to do it.37. What is the expression of "mind their p's and q's" supposed to mean?A. To mind their own business. B. To remember to say "please". C. To remember to say "thank you". D. To be well-mannered.38. Which of the following words can be used to describe Granny's feelings of her own childhood?A. Lonely. B. Dull. C. Proud. D. Happy.39. How did the author feel about her Granny's childhood?A. Disappointed.B. Unbearable.C. Respectable.D. Indifferent.40. Why did Granny often complain about modern children's behavior?A. She missed those good old days. B. She was too harsh on children. C. She didn't like kids who talk a lot. D. She was not open to new things.Passage 2Time spent in a bookshop can be most pleasant, whether you are a book-lover or merely there to buy a book as a present. You may even have entered the shop just to find shelter from a sudden shower. Whatever the reason, you can soon become totally unaware of your surroundings. You soon focus on some book or other, and usually it is only much later that you realize you have spent too much time there and must hurry off to keep some forgotten appointment.This opportunity to escape the realities of everyday life is the main attraction of a bookshop. A music shop is very much like a bookshop. You can range round such places to your heart's content. If it is a good shop, no assistant will approach you with the greeting, "Can I help you?" You needn't buy anything you don't want. In a bookshop an assistant should remain in the background until you have finished reading. Then, and only then, are his services necessary.Once a medical student had to read a textbook which was far too expensive for him to buy. He couldn't obtain it from the library and the only copy he could find was in a bookshop. Every afternoon, therefore, he would go to the shop and read a little of the book at a time. One day, however, he was disappointed to find the book missing from its usual place. He was about to leave, when he noticed the owner of the shop making a gesture to him with his hand. Expecting to be scolded, he went towards him. To his surprise, the owner pointed to the book which was put away in a corner. "I put it there in case anyone had a desire to buy it!" he said, and left the delighted student to continue his reading. 41. Time spent in a bookshop can be most pleasant _______________.A. only when you can find the book you want to buy B. only when you are a book-loverC. even when you enter it to avoid a sudden showerD. even when you know you are late for an appointment42. A bookshop is of much attraction because ______________ .A. it offers you an opportunity to forget about everyday life第 3 页共 5 页命题教师：刘艳茹审核人：B. it offers you an opportunity to listen to as much music as possibleC. it allows you to learn about new ideas and ways of doing thingsD. it allows you to have a good excuse for being late for an appointment 43. In a good bookshop __________.A. an assistant should always follow youB. an assistant should frequently approach you and offer helpC. you needn't buy anything you don't wantD. you can communicate freely with an assistant44. The medical student went to a bookshop every day _____________.A. to look for useful books B. to read a textbookC. to talk with the shop ownerD. to use the computer at the shop45. The owner of the bookshop put away the book ______________.A. in case other people wanted to buy itB. in case the medical student wanted to buy itC. because he wanted to sell it at a high priceD. because he wanted to keep it for himself Passage 3Open or distance learning has had a major effect on higher education through the Open University, the only university to provide education exclusively for adult learners studying at a distance. Our 100,000 students are currently studying at the Open University. We found limited development of distance learning in the case studies, with the exception of some postgraduate and professional courses. Even here, however, there seemed to be limits on further growth because of the high costs involved in setting up new distance learning courses, as well as uncertainties of demand (particularly in terms of the perceived financial returns on study). One of the case study universities provided video facilities and visiting staff to a rural area for a group of undergraduate students about 50 miles away. This was a new development which was working well and likely to be expanded to involve other universities.The main reason for general lack of development of distance learning, especially at the undergraduate level, may be that other universities have been unable to afford the considerable set-up costs and student support facilities. As costs of technology come down this might change. The Open Learning Foundation is developing connections between universities to set open learning approaches within existing programs of study and thus encourage their greater use. This is seen as likely to develop further in the future.46. The Open University provides an education for _________________.A. students who do not like attending regular universitiesB. students who failed the College Entrance ExaminationC. students who are adults and away from a universityD. students who are limited in their ability to learn47. Among other things, the further growth of distance learning at postgraduate and professional levels is limited by ____________________.A. the high costs involved B. a low student demand C. a lack of educationD. the poor rural technology48. The attempt of one case study university to provide equipment and staff to a rural group of students _________. A. would be expanded B. did not work well C. might help learning D. could cost a lot49. The cost of setting up a distance learning program might change ______________.A. as new developments are made B. as more students take classes there C. as the Open University helps more D. as technology becomes cheaper50. The tone of this passage can best be described as ________________. A. discouraging B. encouraging C. persuasive D. scientificIV Translate the following sentences into Chinese.（10 points in all ）“We are slaves to nothing but the clock, ”it has been said. Time is treated as if it were something almost real. We budget it, save it, waste it, steal it, kill it, cut it, account for it; we also charge for it. It is a precious resource. Many people have a rather acute sense of the shortness of each lifetime. Once the sands have run out of a person’s hourglass, they cannot be replaced.ⅤWriting （15 points in all ）Direction: For this part, you are asked to write a short essay on the topic: Shopping on the Internet .

Reading Comprehension (30 points)Section ADirections: Read the following passages carefully and do the multiple-choice questions.Text 1Albert Einstein had a great effect on science and history, greater than only a few other men have achieved. An American university president once commented that Einstein had created a new outlook, a new view of the universe. It may be some time before the average mind understands fully the identity of time and space and so on ---- but even ordinary men understand now that the universe is something larger than ever thought before.By 1914 the young Einstein had gained world fame. He accepted the offer to become a professor at the Prussian Academy of Science in Berlin. He had few duties, little teaching and unlimited opportunities for study, but soon his peace and quiet were broken by the First World War.Einstein hated violence. The misery( 悲惨)of war affected him deeply, and he sat unhappily in his office doing little. He lost interest in his research. Only when peace came in 1918 was he able to get back to work.In the years following World War I honors were increasingly heaped on him. He became the head of the Kaiser Whihem Institute of Theoretical Physics. In 1921 he won the Nobel Prize, and he was honored in Germany until the rise of Nazism when he was driven from Germany because he was a Jew.26. The main idea of the first paragraph is _____A. the time when people know EinsteinB. the feeling of an American college presidentC. the change in human thought produced by EinsteinD. the difficulty of Einstein’s thought to teachers27. According to the American university president, ______.A. everyone understands Einstein’s theory todayB. Einstein achieved more than any other scientists in historyC. The theory of relativity can be quickly learned by everyoneD. Our ideas about the universe are different today because of Einstein28. According to paragraph 2, Albert Einstein ______A. was a famous chemistB. headed a research instituteC. was famous in the worldD. enjoyed reading about war29. According to the passage Einstein did his greatest work _____.A. during World War IB. when he was youngC. when Nazism roseD. between 1906-191530. It may be concluded that ____.A. Albert Einstein was forced to serve in the German armyB. Albert Einstein had no other interests besides scienceC. Einstein made a lot more breakthroughs in his research after the First World War.D. His reputation was ruined because of his work during World War IText 2A few minutes ago, walking back from lunch, I started to cross the street when I heard the sound of a coin dropping. It wasn’t mu ch but, as I turned, my eyes caught the heads of several other people turning too. A woman had dropped what appeared to be a dime.The tinkling sound of a coin dropping on pavement is an attention-getter. It can be nothing more than a penny. Whatever the coin is, no one ignores the sound of it. It got me thinking about sounds again.We are surrounded by so many sounds that attract the most attention. People in New York City seldom turn to look when a fire engine, a police car or an ambulance (救护车) comes screaming along the street.When I’m in New York, I’m a New Yorker. I don’t turn either. Like the natives. I hardly hear a siren there.At home in my little town in Connecticut, it’s different. The distant wail of a police car, an emergency vehicle or a f ire siren brings me to my feet if I’m seated and brings me to the window if I’m in bed.It’s the quietest sounds that have most effect on us, not the loudest. In the middle of the night, I can hear a dripping tap a hundred yards away through three closed doors. I’ve beenhearing little creaking noises and sounds which my imagination turns into footsteps in the middle of the night for twenty-five years in our house. How come I never hear those sounds in the daytime?I’m quite clear in my mind what the good sounds are and what the bad sounds are.I’ve turned against whistling, for instance. I used to think of it as the mark of a happy worker but lately I’ve been associating the whistler with a nervous person making compulsive noises.The tapping, tapping, tapping of my typewriter as the keys hit the paper is a lovely sound to me. I often like the sound of what I write better than the looks of it.31. The sound of a coin dropping makes people ________.A. think of money C. pay attention to itB. look at each other D. stop crossing the street32. People in New York _________.A. don’t care about emergencies C. are attracted by soundsB. are used to sirens D. don’t hear loud noi ses33. How does the author relate to sounds at night?A. He imagines sounds that do not exist.B. He exaggerates quiet sounds.C. He thinks taps should be turned off.D. He believes it’s rather quiet at night.34. He dislikes whistling because _________.A. he is tired of it C. it reminds him of tense peopleB. he used to be happier D. it suggests busy daily work35. How does the writer feel about sounds in general?A. They make him feel at home.B. He thinks they should be ignored.C. He believes they are part of our lives.D. He prefers silence to loud noises.Text 3Do you find getting up in the morning so difficult that it’s painful? This might be called laziness, but Dr. Kleitman has a new explanation. He has proved that everyone has a daily energy cycle.During the hours when you labor through your work you may say that you’re “hot”. That’s true. The time of day when you feel most energetic is when your cycle of body temperature is at its peak. For some people the peak comes during the forenoon. For others it comes in the afternoon or evening. No one has discovered why this is so, but it leads to such familiar monologues (自言自语) as: “Get up, John! You’ll be late for work again!” The possible explanation to the trouble is that John is at his temperature-and-energy peak in the evening. Much family quarrelling ends when husbands and wives realize what these energy cycles mean, and which cycle each member of the family has.You can’t change y our energy cycle, but you can learn to make your life fit it better. Habit can help, Dr. Kleitman believes. Maybe you’re sleepy in the evening but feel you must stay up late anyway. Counteract (对抗) your cycle to some extent by habitually staying up later than you want to. If your energy is low in the morning but you have an important job to do early in the day, rise before your usual hour. This won’t change your cycle, but you’ll get up steam (鼓起干劲) and work better at your low point.Get off to a slow start that saves your energy. Get up with a leisurely yawn and stretch. Sit on the edge of the bed a minute before putting your feet on the floor. Avoid the troublesome search for clean clothes by laying them out the night before. Whenever possible, do routine work in the afternoon and save tasks requiring more energy or concentration for your sharper hours.36. If a person finds getting up early a problem, most probably________.A)he is a lazy personB)he refuses to follow his own energy cycleC)he is not sure when his energy is lowD)he is at his peak in the afternoon or evening37. Which of the following may lead to family quarrels according to the passage?A)Unawareness of energy cycles.B)Familiar monologues.C) A change in a family member’s energy cycle.D)Attempts to control the energy cycle of other family members.38. If one wants to work more efficiently at his low point in the morning, he should________.A)change his energy cycle C) get up earlier than usualB)overcome his laziness D) go to bed earlier39. You are advised to rise with a yawn and stretch because it will___________.A)help to keep your energy for the day’s workB)help you to control your temper early in the dayC)enable you to concentrate on your routine workD)keep your energy cycle under control all day40. Which of the following statements is NOT TRUE?A)Getting off to work with a minimum effort helps save one’s energy.B)Dr. Kleitman explains why people reach their peaks at different hours of day.C) Habits help a person adapt to his own energy cycle.D) Children have energy cycles, too.Section B. Skimming and scanningDirections:In this part, you are required to go over the 3 passages quickly and answer the questions.Passage 1. (Question 41 is based on the following passage.)41. This letter is written by a______.A. prospective salespersonB. high school studentC. publisherD. manager28 Beach Road, Newtown.March 20th, 2000The Manager, Royal Publishers, P.O.Box 446 Newtown.

The general idea of the passage is that______.A. doctors can produce magicB. medicine has magic powerC. modern medicine can cure all illnessesD. a healthy mind is also a cure for illnessFor more than five thousand years Chinese doctors have used needles to fight illness. This kind of medicine is called acupuncture. The doctor studies the sick person carefully. Then he puts needles into that person s body at the right places for his illness. Chinese doctors believe that they can control the body s natural forces in this way. At first, doctors in the West thought that this was just another kind of magic. Recently, however, they have found out that it is possible to cure many illnesses like this because the needles help the body to produce its own "medicines". In this way the body cures itself.Nowadays doctors can do a lot of wonderful things. They can use thousands of medicines. They can give you pills and injections. They can even give you mechanical legs or a new heart. Sometimes modern medicine works like magic. But there are still a lot of illnesses that drugs and machines cannot cure completely. Medicine is not only a science; it is an art, too. And in the art of medicine, the mind is very important. You will not have a healthy body unless you have a healthy mind.Passage 3 (Questions 43-45 are based on the following passage.)43.

长治学院2014 —— 2015学年第二学期期末考试补考卷考试科目: 大学英语2（A、B 级）考试对象：2014级A、B级班I. Reading Comprehension（40 Points）Section ONE: Fast ReadingDirections: In this part, you are to go over the passage quickly and choose the best answer from the four possible choices.Shopping in AmericaGoing shopping seems easy, but actually it takes a lot of learning, especially in America. In fact, many Americans who are not so well-off often shop at “sales” or at special stores that sell things at low prices, which you may find interesting. In America, the important rule of dressing is that one should change his or her clothes every day. For example, in an American college, neither professor nor students are seen in the same clothes two days in a row.So you may find it necessary to buy more clothes than you have in China. While you are shopping in the United States, you will discover that prices range considerably form time to time. The purchase of used, second-hand clothing, furniture, or other household articles may be an excellent way of saving money. Most second-hand clothes are of pretty good quality. If you are going to settle down in the United States and want some furniture, you may go to a “loan closet”, where furniture is rented at low cost, or you may also go to a “furniture exchange” place in the community.Sheets, blankets, and other bedclothes go on sale in most communities twice a year. Advertisements for “white sales”, that is, sales on bed linen, towels, etc., often appear in January, as well as in May, June or July. Once or twice every season, there will be “garage sales”, where you can get almost anything, from a yacht to a pair of shoes, at low prices. Prices at “discount stores” and “thrift shops” are also as low as you can imagine.When shopping for food, you should look for special prices for various items that are put on sale weekly. To economize, it would be a good idea for you to plan the weekly menu according to what is on sale, including in it the meats, vegetable, fruits, etc. that can be bought at special prices that week.Exchange and return policies vary from store to store. You should also keep in mind that exchange and return policies for sales items can be different from standard store policies, especially for the prices before making your purchase. Obtaining an exchange or a return without a store receipt is often difficult. So, to save yourself the headache, you’d better hold onto any paper or other proof of purchase.1. Shopping in the United States ____.A. seems easy for AmericansB. requires some learningC. is very easy for foreignersD. is only for “well-off” people2. Americans change their clothes daily, because _____.A. clothes are sold at low pricesB. people take it as a ruleC. they enjoy doing soD. everyone is very “well-off”3. People shopping in America will discover _______.A. American goods are excellentB. most clothes come from ChinaC. prices vary much sometimesD. used clothes are of poor quality4. A person who needs furniture can ______A. exchange their goods for furnitureB. settle in a place that has furnitureC. get some free of chargeD. rent some at low cost5. At a “white sale”, one can buy ______.A. almost anythingB. sheet, cooking utensilsC. bed linen, towels, etc.D. shoes at low prices Section TWO:Directions: Read the following passages carefully and do the multiple-choice questions.Passage one: When next year’s crop of high-school graduates arrive at Oxford University in the fall of 2009, they’ll be joined by a new face: Andrew Hamilton, the 55-year-old provost of Yale, who’ll become Oxford’s vice-chancellor—a position equivalent to university president in America.Hamilton isn’t the only educator crossing the Atlantic. Schools in France, Egypt, Singapore, etc, have also recently made top-level hires from abroad. Higher education has become a big and competitive business nowadays, and like so many business, it’s gone global. Yet the talent flow isn’t universal. High-level personnel tend to head in only one direction: outward from America.The chief reason is that American schools don’t tend to seriously consider looking abroad. For example, when the board of the University of Colorado searched for a new president, it wanted a leader familiar with the state government, a major source of the university’s budget. “We didn’t do any global consideration,” says Patricia Hays, the board’s chair. The board ultimately picked Bruce Benson, a 69-year-old Colorado businessman and political activist who is likely to do well in the main task of modern university presidents: fund-raising. Fund-raising is a distinctively American thing, since U.S. schools rely heavily on donations. The fund-raising ability is largely a product of experience and necessity.Many European universities, meanwhile, are still mostly dependent on government funding. But government support has failed to keep pace with rising student number. The decline in government support has make funding –raising an increasing necessarily ability among administrators and has hiring committees hungry for Americans.In the past few years, prominent schools around the world have joined the trend. In 2003, when Cambridge University appointed Alison Richard, another former Yale provost, as its vice-chancellor, the university publicly stressed that in her previous job she had overseen “a major strengthening of Yale’s financial position.”Of course, fund-raising isn’t the only skill outsiders offer. The globalization of education means more universities will be seeking heads with international experience of some kind of promote international programs and attract a global student body. Foreigners can offer a fresh perspective on established practices.6. What is the current trend in higher education discussed in the passage ?A. Institutions worldwide are hiring administrators from the U.S.B. A lot of political activists are being recruited as administrators.C. American universities are enrolling more international students.D. University presidents are paying more attention to fund-raising.7. What is the chief consideration of American universities when hiring top-level administrators?A. The political correctness.B. Their fame in academic circle.C. Their ability to raise funds.D. Their administrative experience.8. What do we learn about European universities from the passage?A. The tuitions they charge have been rising considerably.B. Their operation is under strict government supervision.C. They are strengthening their position by globalization.D. Most of their revenues come from the government.9. Cambridge University appointed Alison Richard as its vice-chancellor chiefly because_____?A. she could help strengthen its ties with Yale.B. she was known to be good at raising money.C. she knew how to attract students overseas.D. she had boosted Yale’s academic status.10. In what way do top-level administrators form abroad contribute to university development?A. They can enhance the university’s image.B. They will bring more international faculty.C. They can build new academic disciplines.D. They will view many things from new perspectivesPassage two:Last Tuesday I was invited to participate in a party for Tuesday’s Children, an organization that helps children with the AIDS virus. I was asked to attend because I’m on a television show. I don’t think that most of the kids recognized me as a famous person, but as a big kid who came to play with them for the day. I think I liked it better that way.At the party, they had all kinds of activities. I was drawn to one in particular because all the children were taking part in it. In that activity, anyone who wanted to participate could paint a square. Later all the painted squares were going to be sewn together to make a wall hanging. The wall hanging would be presented to a man who had devoted much of his life to this organization and would soon be retiring.They gave everyone some paints in bright, beautiful colors, and asked the kids to paint something that would make the wall hanging beautiful. As I looked around at all the squares, I saw pink hearts and bright blue clouds, beautiful orange sunrise, and green and purple flowers. The pictures were all bright, positive, and uplifting. All except for one.The boy sitting next to me was painting a heart, but it was dark, empty, and lifeless. It lacked the bright, lively colors that his fellow artists had used.At first I thought maybe he took the only paint that was left and it just happened to be dark. But when I asked him about it, he said his heart was that color because his heart felt dark and he was very sick. He said that his sickness was not ever going to get better. He looked straight into my eyes and said, “There is nothing anyone can do that will help.”I told him I was sorry that he was sick and I could certainly understand why he was so sad. I could even understand why he had made his heart a dark color. But I also told him that it isn’t true that there is nothing anyone can do to help. Other people may not be able to make him better, but we can do things like sharing our time and our love, which in my experience can really help when people are feeling sad. I told him that if he liked, I would be happy to spend some time talking with him so that he could see what I meant. But instead of talking with me, he did something different. He instantly came near to me and wrapped his arms around my neck. When he did this, I felt my own heart had burst with the love for this sweet little boy.He sat there talking with me for a long time and when he had had enough, he jumped down to finish his coloring. I asked him if he felt any better and he said that he did, but he was still sick and nothing would change that. I told him I understood. I walked away feeling sad, but I determined that I would do whatever I could to help.As the day was coming to and end and I was getting ready to head home, I felt a slight pull on my jacket. I turned around and found the little boy was standing there with a smile on his face. He said, “My heart is changing colors. It is getting brighter. I think love really does work.”On my way home I felt my own heart and realized it, too, had changed to a brighter color.11. From the first paragraph we know Tuesday’s Children is _________A .a TV show for small kids B. a party for small kidsC .a group for helping kids with AIDS D. an organization the author proposed12. What was the purpose of making the wall hanging? ______.A. It would be given to a man as a gift.B. People will buy it so that more money can be raised for the kids.C. It was a special gift for the kids with AIDS.D. The author wanted it at the day of his retirement.13. Most of the children painted _____ on the squares.A. white clouds and red sunrisesB. orange hearts and red flowersC. purple hearts and pink flowersD. blue clouds and green flowers14. The heart painted by a little boy was very unusual because _____.A. it was bright and livelyB. it was dark and lifelessC. it was of lively colorsD. it was sad to look at15. Why did the boy choose the color? _____.A. Because he thought it looked better.B. Because he happened to like the color.C. Because he felt sick and hopeless.D. Because he had no other colors to use. Passage three: Roger Sperry and Robert Ornstein of the California Institute of Technology won a Nobel Prize in 1972. They discovered that the human brain has two sides, and each side has different work to do. The left side of the brain controls language and number; it analyses and reasons. The right side controls our imagination; it controls our understanding of music and our sense of rhythm. It is the right side of our brain which daydreams.Great artists and great scientists are similar: they both use the two sides of their brain. It is well-known that Albert Einstein, a great scientist, spent time enjoying art, playing the violin and sailing. Einstein said his scientific discoveries grew from his imagination rather than from analysis, reason and language. He said that written and spoken words were not important in his thinking. He got ideas by using his imagination. Following this, he used the left side of brain to use analysis, number and reason and then he used language to explain it.Usual education in schools encourages us to use the left side of our brains. Language, number, analysis and reason are given more importance in our schools than imagination and daydreaming. However, we are encouraged to hop when we have two perfectly good legs! Then why don’t we give more value to visual thinking?In fact, all of us need both sides of our brain. We need to use our imagination to think of solutions to problems and to enjoy feeling and creative experiences. And we need to be logical and to be able to analyze and organize in order to live on this world.It is true that some people find it easier to use one side of the brain rather than the other, but all of us can use both sides and all of us benefit by using all the powers we have.16. According to the passage, a great composer composes music by using ________ of his brain.A .the right side B. the left side C .both sides D. neither side17. Albert Einstein’s example is used to support the idea that ______.A. all scientific discoveries are based on imagination.B. people should do nothing but daydream.C. using two sides of the brain is important.D. scientists are good at imagining what may happen.18. It is implied in the passage that regular education________.A. should be praised because it suggests using both sides of the brain.B. finds it very important to have daydreams.C. claims that analysis and reason are of no value.D. fails to develop the right side of the brain.19. Is it true that some people find it easier to use one side of the brain rather than the other? _____.A. YesB. NoC. Not mentioned.D. Both are ok.20. The author’s attitude toward using two sides of the brain is _____.A. positiveB. negativeC. not logicalD. criticalII. Cloze（20 Points）Standing in the door of Mr. Murphy’s office, I could see he was __21__ something he was reading. He had both elbows on his desk, his head was resting _22___ one hand and his other hand was cupped about his mouth. I knew that he was keeping his office hours and that student _23___ was encouraged,but all the same, I was afraid to _24___. Then, as I turned to leave, my foot _25___ against the bottom of the door, startling me and causing the professor to __26___. His eyes had simply moved from the desk to me, but the rest of his physical __27__ remained the same. He invited me in without gesture, just a “Come in. What is it that you need?” There was little if _28__ warmth or tone in his voice; it wasn’t exactly _29___. Despite being intimidated, I made a conscious effect to relax and _30___ myself to smile and enter the room. “Mr. Murphy,” the _31___ of my voice rose as I began my introduction, “I’m sorry to _32___, My name is Peter.

Then complete the answers that follow the questions in no more than 3 words.Hi Bill,How are you? Last time we spoke, you told me that you were having some difficulties with your parents. Are things getting any better? I hope so. Anyway, I thought I’d write and share some advice, as I had a similar issue with my overprotective parents a few years ago.I think it’s important to remember that your parents are doing what they do because they love you. Instead of getting annoyed with them, try having an honest conversation with them. You could explain your feelings calmly, and tell them you would like more independence.Another approach you can take is to gradually demonstrate your responsibility and maturity. Show your parents that you can handle small tasks and responsibilities on your own. By doing this you can earn their trust over time.It could also be helpful to involve an adult in the conversation between you and your parents—someone you trust, like a relative or a family friend. This could help your parents to see things from a different perspective.I think that patience is important in dealing with overprotective parents. It may take time for them to adjust to you growing older and more independent. In the meantime, try to understand their concerns.I hope that advice is helpful. Remember, I’m always here for you if you need me. Love,Amy21. What is Bill’s problem?Bill is having some difficulties _________________________________.22.

Reading Comprehension(30%)Directions:Read the following four passages carefully and answer the questions below each passage by choosing A, B, C or D. Markyour answers on the Answer Sheet.Passage 1In the United States 84 colleges now accept just women. Most of them were established in the 19th century; they were designed to offer women the education they could not receive anywhere else. At that time major universities and colleges accepted only men. In the past 20 years many young women have chosen to study at colleges that accept both men and women. As a result some women's colleges decided to accept men students too. Others, however, refused to change. Now these schools are popular again.The president of TrinityCollege in Washington, D.C. said that by the end of the 1980s women began to recognize that studying at the same school with men did not mean women were having an equal chance to learn. The president of SmithCollege in Massachusetts says a women's college permits women to choose classes and activities freely. For example, she says that in a women's college a higher percentage of students studies mathematics than in a college with both men and women.Educational experts say men students in the United States usually speak in class more than women students do. In a women's college, women feel freer to say what they think. Women's schools also bring out leadership capabilities in many women. Women are represented everywhere. For example, at a women's college every governing office is held by a woman. Recent studies reportedly show that this leadership continues after college. The studies show American women who went to women's colleges are more likely to hold successful jobs later in life.16. Women's colleges were established to ______.A) give women the same right of education that men enjoyB) make changes to traditional educational systemC) defy men's privilege in the societyD) train women in particular fields17. Studying at the same school with men does not mean ______.A) women can do the same thing as menB) that women are given the same chance as menC) women are allowed more latitudes to develop themselvesD) the present educational system does not allow other choices18. According to the passage, in women's schools ______.A) women are much freer than if they study at the same school with menB) women could do anything they wantC) they teach things peculiar to womenD) men are hated widely19. Which one of the following statements is not true about women's college?A) Women feel freer to say what they think.B) More women can participate in the management of the college.C) Women who attend a women's college are more likely to be successful intheir later careers.D) A very high percentage of women will become leaders later.20. The title of this passage is most likely to be ______.A) Women Education in the United StatesB) Women's Schools in the United StatesC) Women Should Be Given the Same Education as MenD) Education in AmericaPassage2In 1848, gold was discovered in California; from all over the nation, thousands of young men set out for California. People called this the time of the Gold Rush.A gold miner came into a city looking for a pair of pants. He wanted pants strong enough to stand up to the rough work of mining. He met a young man named Levi, who sold heavy cloth for tents and wagon tops. They asked a tailor to use heavy cloth for their pants. Then Levi went into the business of making work pants. He asked his brothers to send him some strong blue cotton cloth called denim (斜纹粗棉布). With this blue denim cloth, Levi started making the kind of pants we call blue jeans today. They were sewed up in the same way as other pants.In 1860, a miner said that the pockets weren't strong enough to hold the pieces of gold he found. The pockets kept pulling loose from the pants. The cloth was all right. It was the thread that wasn't strong enough. So Levi used rivets (铆钉) to attach the pockets onto the pants.Cowboys needed tough pants, too. They liked their pants to fit tightly. But the rivets marked the cowboys' saddles. So Levi covered the rivets with cloth. Then everybody was happy.21. This article as a whole is about ___________.A) how people got blue jeans B) the Gold RushC) denim, rivets and blue jeans D) cowboys and blue jeans22. While not stated in the article, you can tell that __________.A) everybody who went to California got a lot of goldB) Levi found riches in the gold fieldsC) Levi made more money than many gold minersD) Levi sold more jeans to cowboys than to gold miners23.

Which of the following sentences is not correct?A) It was Levi who started the business of making blue jeans.B) It was one tailor who started making blue jeans.C) It was in California that blue jeans first became popular.D) It was in California that gold was discovered.Passage3Winston Churchill was one of the great men of his age. To show their respect for him, the British lawmakers asked a fine artist, Graham Sutherland, to paint Winston Churchill's picture. When it was completed, it was presented to him, at a grand affair in the Westminster Hall, at the House of Commons (下议院).It was reported in the newspapers to show that Churchill accepted the gift. He described the painting as "a remarkable example of modern art", which drew loud laughter.In fact he was unhappy with the painting. Sutherland later reported that he asked whether it was to be painted in with a "happy" or "fierce" attitude."Fierce," replied Churchill. At the time, Churchill was coming to the end of his political life and was unhappy that people wanted him to end his career.Some twenty years later it was revealed that Lady Churchill hated the painting so much that she had it destroyed. "It was preying on (折磨) his mind," she was reported as saying.A leading art critic was asked what he thought about the matter. He said he could understand Lady Churchill and had pity on her. Graham Sutherland is a very honest artist, who could only paint what he saw. At the time it was painted, Churchill was an old man, worried by the thought that he would have to end his political career soon. But Lady Churchill shouldn't have had the painting destroyed. It could have been stored away until after their deaths.26. Why did the British lawmakers ask Graham Sutherland to paint a pictureof Winston Churchill?A. To show their respect for him.B. To make Churchill happy.C. To put it in the Westminster hall.D. To make Churchill unhappy.27. Where was the painting given to Winston Churchill after it was finished?A. At his home.B. At his office.C. In the Westminster Hall.D. At a gathering held in the square.28. What did Churchill say about the painting presentation?A. He said it was not well painted.B. He said he was unhappy with the painting.C. He said it was honest art.D. He said it was an example of modern art.29. Why was Churchill actually unhappy at that time?A. Because he had to retire and put an end to his political life.B. Because the painting was not good at all.C. Because Lady Churchill was not happy with the painting.D. Because he didn't feel well.30. What is the author's attitude towards the destruction of the painting?A. Approval.B. Disapproval.C. Anger.D. Indifference.Passage 4Internet, E-mail and similar electronic connections offer a far wider ground for scholarly communication, because a researcher can post the beginning of a theory, receive comments on it from peers, incorporate new ideas and alter the details over and over until it is right. Electronic networks enable scholarly publishing to imitate the intellectual process more closely. Theunit of transaction will become the idea, not just a collection of articles.This dynamic, fluid progression of an idea-which is known as "scholarly sky-writing" is possible, Harnad says, because the speed and reach of electronic messaging "more closely match the natural biological speed of human thought". When he writes a paper, says Harnad, he is able instantly to incorporate the forces of the Net into the creative process. In one part of his computer will be E-mailed comments from colleagues, in another will be his own notes, in yet another his previous papers-and at any time, he can launch into the Net to find a new resource or paper, send off a thought to a commentator or ask a question, all as if they were in the same room. This new form of scholarship could cause problem with copyrights, however. With so many voices involved in production of a new idea, it is more difficult than ever to pin down exactly who should receive credit for it.Some scholars believe that the storage of documents as disembodied electronic signals will gradually alter the structure of knowledge. "Manuscripts" will increasingly be "live", changing from day to day as the author returns to the computer and other scholars offer their comments in the margins. It will be possible to update and message documents without increased cost, so that- in some fields, at least- the notion of a bound book could become obsolete. Even the idea of authorship could change.In the long run, the new information technology may fundamentally alter creativity itself. Nowadays, much of the process of scholarship-the testing of an idea and the subsequent peer commentary - takes place in private; only the publication of a final manuscript is a public event.Then, what about scientific journals? At a wider level, there seems to be growing acknowledgment that the main role of journals in future will be to provide research papers with a guarantee of quality and added editorial value --- in terms of making the science more readable, and placing it within a wider perspective for example --- while their traditional role as adistribution outlet will become less important.31. By the means of such electronic connections as internet and E-mail,scholars _____.A) get new idea from discussionB) have their scientific papers openly published on the NetC) are free to express their ideas on the NetD) create, alter and publish their ideas on line32. Scholarly sky-writing has all the following advantages exceptA) avoidance of copyright problems B) shift transmission of thoughtC) use of other peoples' wisdom D) easy updating of manuscripts33. It can be concluded from this passage that_____.A) electronic publishing will finally take the place of traditional journalsB) the process of scholarship will change greatly in a world of electricnetworksC) electronic publishing will become the dominant way instead of traditionaljournalsD) scholarly sky-writing will be the most important skill for most scientists34. It is stated in the passage that scientific journals ______.A) have lost their position in many scholarsB) can still play their due part in publishing research papersC) will fail in keeping up with the latest scientific knowledgeD) will become out of date35. The author's attitude towards electronic publishing is ______.A) optimistic B) pessimistic C) neutral D) desperatePart III.

They come every once in a while. Very often, they come quietly and go by without being noticed. Therefore ,it is advisable that you should value and treat them with care. When an opportunity comes, it brings a promise but never realizes it on its own. If you want toachieve something or intend to fulfill one of your ambitious, you must work hard, make efforts and get prepared. Otherwise, you will take no advantage of opportunities when they come to visit you. The difference between a man who succeeds and one who does not lies only in the way each treats opportunities. The successful person always makes adequate preparations to meet opportunities as they duly arrive. The unsuccessful person, on the other hand, works little and just waits to see them pass by. In my opinion, there are plenty of opportunities for everyone in our society, but only those who are prepared adequately and qualified highly can make use of them to achieve their purpose.。

more than any other single factor, determines the distribution of list on earth. climatic boundaries establish the limits within which organisms can survive. plants, even more than animals, must be adapted to climate in order to survive. they cannot move about or take shelter but must be equipped to endure whatever weather conditions are likely to occur. in the harsh conditions of the tundra, for example, low growing mosses, lichens, and a few flowering plants all hug the ground for shelter from icy winds.animals, despite their ability to move about and find shelter, are just as much influenced by climate as plants are. creatures such as the camel and the penguin are so highly specialized that they have an extremely limited distribution. others, such as bears, are flexible enough to adapt to a broad range of climates. ocean-dwelling organisms are just as sensitive to climatic changes---in this case temperature and salinity---as land animals. reef corals can survive only in clear warm seawater. certain foraminifers are so sensitive to changes in their environment that their presence can be taken as an index of sea temperature. human beings are among the least specialized of all animals and can live almost anywhere. their clothes andtheir homes act as a sort of “miniature climate” that can be taken with them everywhere.(words: 223)51. according to the passage, plants on the tundra grow close to the ground_________.a. to avoid being eaten by arctic animalsb. because fertilizer is not readily availablec. to minimize exposure to the coldd. because unfrozen water supplies are very scarce52. according to the passage, which of the following can be found in the greatest number of different climate areas on earth?a. reef coralsb. penguinsc. bearsd. camels53. it can be inferred from the passage foraminifers are a____________.a. kind of weather patternb. form of sea lifec. species of tundra plantd. type of miniature penguin54. according to the passage, human beings can survive almost everywhere on earth because_____.a. they have developed advanced forms of transportationb. they have learned how to process seawater for drinkingc. their body temperature can vary considerablyd. their shelters and clothing help them to adapt to the environment55. according to the passage, animals were influenced by_______ despite their ability to move about and find shelter.a. climateb. territoryc. soild. human beingspassage 2psychiatric (精神病学的) tests show that a well-balanced person gets much angrier when provoked than an abnormal person does. at the new york state psychiatric institute, dr. james page and professor of psychology carney landis of columbiauniversity studied the reaction of 200 normals and 210 abnormals. they tested their reactions to maddening situations of every type and variety, such as: being laughed at and ridiculed, being repeatedly disconnected on the telephone, accidentally hitting their thumb with a hammer, being worked on by a backseat driver, being told to “shut up” and mind their own business, discovering someone cheating in a friendly card game, etc. in almost every instance the anger reaction of the normal group was much more intense than that of the abnormal one.“this,” they reported, “is in accord with other p sychiatric findings. for one of the outstanding symptoms of mental unbalance is an emotional apathy.” so if you blow your top when you bang your skin against a piece of furniture, or when your sweetheart goes out with another guy—don’t worry about it. it’s just a sign that you are normal.(words: 191)56. this passage deals mainly with the ______.a. similarity to previous psychiatric studies of new york state psychological institute’s findings concerning anger reactionsb. absence of apathy in normalsc. level of intensity in anger reactions registered by normals versus abnormalsd. frequency of anger reactions registered by normals versus abnormals57. what is the main idea of this passage?a. anger is a universal phenomenon among humans.b. psychiatric tests proved that a person who gets angry is well-balanced.c. normal persons are apt to get angry much more easily than abnormals.d. normal persons react more intensely to anger-provoking situations than do abnormal individuals.58. the author recommends that, if you tend to become angry, you should ______.a. treat it as a normal reactionb. not worry about what has made you angryc. try to control your angerd. become concerned59. the word “apathy” in this passage most probably means______.a. need for affectionb. lack of feelingc. undue sensitivityd. anger60. the phrase “blow your top” in this passage most probably means ______.a. get very angryb. become indifferentc. keep your temperd. react positivelypassage 3thousands of years ago man used handy rocks for his surgical operations. later he used sharp bone or horn, metal knives and, more recently, rubber and plastic. and that was where we stuck, in surgical instrument terms, for many years. in the 1960s a new tool was developed, one which was, first of all, to be of great practical use to the armed forces and industry, but which was also, in time, to revolutionize the art and science of surgery.the tool is the laser and it is being used by more and moresurgeons all over the world, for a very large number of different complaints. the word laser means: light amplification by stimulated emission of radiation. as we all know, light is hot; any source of light — from the sun itself down to a humble match burning — will give warmth. but light is usually spread out over a wide area. the light in a laser beam, however, is concentrated. this means that a light with no more power than that produced by an ordinary electric light bulb becomes intensely strong as it is concentrated to a pinpoint-sized beam. experiments with these pinpoint beams have shown researchers that different energy sources produce beams that have a particular effect on certain living cells. it is nowpossible for eye surgeons to operate on the back of the human eye without harming the front of the eye, simply by passing a laser beam right through the eyeball. no knives, no stitches, no unwanted damage— a true surgical wonder.operations which once left patients exhausted and in need of long periods of recovery time now leave them feeling relaxed and comfortable. so much more difficult operations can now be tried.the rapid development of laser techniques in the past ten years has made it clear that the future is likely to be very exciting.

Reading Comprehension (25%)Directions: Read the following passages and choose the corresponding answer. Passage 1Female employees consistently pay lower airfares than men do for the same flights because they tend to book earlier.We compared the airfare paid by employees in the same position within a company for the same class of travel and used a common statistical technique to account for other factors that might affect differences in airfares. We found that women paid on average $18 less per ticket than their male colleagues. Further investigation allowed us to conclude that this gap is largely explained by the fact that women tended to book earlier than men, 1.8 days on average.We wanted to determine what was causing these gender differences in booking business trips so we tested a variety of possible explanations, such as women choosing to plan ahead or male frequent travelers being inclined to book late. None of these explained away the gender gap, so we applied data collected from surveys that express consumer preferences that play a central role in economic decisions, such as patience and risk avoidance.We found that only the concept of "negative reciprocity"-in which an employee who feels unfairly treated engages in negative behaviors, such as spending their company's money less carefully- explains these differences. The surveys showed men tend to exhibit more of these negative behaviors than women.This isn't to say that all men engage in these behaviors-or that booking relatively late is a sign of abnormal behavior. It only means that the gender gap disappears when we plug in the negativereciprocity variable.Prior research on negative reciprocity among workers found that it can result in lower employee motivation, business performances and workplace morale (士气) and culture.Our results show another way these negative behaviors can manifest themselves, like in airline bookings, and add to evidence that women are less likely to engage in them.Companies spend significant sums of money on business travel. While that $18 difference per ticket may seem small, it adds up. Our analysis suggests early booking by women can translate into savings of $1 million a year for a large multinational company with 20,000 regular travelers.1.What did the author's team conclude about the gender difference in airfares from their further investigation?A.It is largely attributed to women booking earlier than men.B.It is largely explained by women's choosing cheaper flights.C.It is mainly accounted for by male employees' readiness to pay more.D.It is due to the fact that women care more about their company's money.2.What did the researchers want to determine by testing a variety of possible explanations?A.What made male frequent travelers book air tickets late.B.What caused women to plan ahead in booking business trips.C.What motivated women to book cheaper flights.D.What accounted for the gender gap in airfares.3.What happened when the negative reciprocity variable was taken into account?A.Both men and women were found to engage in negative behaviors.B.Neither men nor women viewed booking late as a bad behavior.C.The gender difference in airfare expenses no longer existed.D, The gender gap tended to narrow to a significant degree.4.What did prior research on negative reciprocity among workers find?A.It can do more harm to the workplace than to employees.B.It contributes to the male-female divide in the workplace.C.It proves to be counterproductive in a number of ways.D.It can result in increasing labor-management conflicts.5.What does the author emphasize about their analysis in the last paragraph?A.It can help companies increase their savings significantly.B.It can duly contribute to companies’ business performance.C.It can translate women's booking practice into men's behavior.D.It can enhance large multinational companies' competitiveness.Passage 2Daniel waved at his mother who was watching from the kitchen window. She waved back. He was having fun tossing his new football into the air and catching it again. Suddenly, he saw the neighbor’s gray cat crawl along the top of the wooden fence that divided his backyard from the neighbor’s.“You mean old cat!” Daniel shouted. Daniel didn’t like that cat. He had tried to pet it once and got a big scratch. The cat yawned and then scratched the top of the fence. Tiny pieces of wood floated down to the grass. “Stop wrecking my daddy’s fence!” Daniel demanded. He took the football and threw it with all his might. At the last possible instant, the cat jumped out of the way. The ball flew over the fence, passing right where the cat had been.Then he heard a SMASH! “Oh, no!” he groaned. Daniel crept toward the fence and peeked through a crack. He saw his football lying by the wall of his neighbor’s house. And right beside it was a big blue flowerpot cracked on one side. “Oh, no!” Daniel moaned, “What am I going to do?”Daniel walked around to the gate. “I should ask for permission to go into our neighbor’s yard,” he thought. “But then Mom will find out about the bad thing I’ve done. “He didn’t want that to happen. Instead, he checked the latch. It wasn’t locked. Opening the gate, Daniel walked inside. He ran toward his football and quickly picked it up. Staring at the broken flowerpot, he wondered what to do. “Whatever l do, I’dbetter hurry,” he thought. “l shouldn't be here.”Daniel stuffed the pieces of pottery into the pocket of his sweat shirt. “This is really bad,” he mumbled. Grabbing the flowerpot with both hands, he spun it around until the broken spot faced the wall. He smiled. The bad thing was hard to see. “Now I’ve got to hide the pieces,” he thought. Closing the gate behind him, Daniel searched for a place to hide the broken pieces.“Daniel, where have you been?” Mom asked as she headed up the sidewalk. Daniel wanted to say that he’d been playing in the front yard. He wanted to lie. But that would be another bad thing. He remembered all the bad things he had done: throwing the ball at the cat, smashing the flowerpot, going into the neighbor’s yard without permission. He suddenly realized his fourth bad thing: trying to hide the broken flowerpot.And now Daniel wanted to hide all his bad things with a big lie. No, that would be really bad, he decided. “Mom, would you still love me, even if l told you some bad things I've done?” he asked. His mother smiled and said, “Of course, Daniel!” She knelt beside him so that she could listen better. Daniel took a deep breath and pulled a handful of pottery out of his pocket. Mom could see the broken pieces, but that was okay because telling the truth was easier than telling a lie.6. Before seeing the neighbor’s cat, Daniel was having fun .A. waving at his motherB. tossing his football at the catC. watching his mother from the kitchen windowD. throwing his football into the air and catching it again7. Daniel threw his football at the cat with .A. all his strengthB. all his effortC. all his courageD. all his anger8. What did Daniel do after he broke the neighbor’s flowerpot?A.

One.B. Two.C. Three.D. Four.10. Daniel’s mother knelt beside him in order to .A. see his face clearlyB. listen betterC. see the broken piecesD. calm him downPart IV.

In fact, even though he was the first American man to ever win the downhill skiing event, many 26 him as a true Olympic hero. He was a rebellious kid who came from a troubled background, and he boasted too much. Moreover, he only became 27 in skiing because a judge sent him to a ski school after he had stolen a car at age 17. There was no lifelong 28 to the sport. He did not 29 the Olympic spirit. He did not gain distinction by continuously training for his event.Still, few failed to 30 his marvelous race in the 1984 Winter Olympic Games in Sarajevo. He was just a natural skier and his technique was 31 for the course. And so even before the race began, he was 32 victory. "This course was made for me. Nothing can stop me," he had boasted. He also caused some comments when he talked about the millions of dollars he would be able to make after he won the race. This made many skiers 33 toward him. That just 34 him even more. Then on the day of the event, he turned out the fastest. "It takes a lot of courage to throw yourself down a mountain," Bill Johnson 35 proudly after he won a gold medal for the United States.

Whenever she gets the opportunity, she describes in detail how she used to be told to respect her elders and betters. She was taught to speak only when she was spoken to, and when she went out on her own, she was reminded to say "please" and "thank you". Children in her day, she continues, were expected to be seen and not heard, but these days you are lucky if you ever hear parents telling their children to mind their p's and q's.If you give her the chance she then takes out of her desk the old photograph album which she keeps there, and which she never tires of displaying. Of course when you look at pictures of her parents you feel sure that, with a father as hard-looking as that, you, too, would have been "seen and not heard". Beside him sits his wife, with their children around her: Granny and her elder brothers. It always occurs to me that perhaps those long, stiff, black clothes were very heavy to a little girl, that she hadn't enough breath left to talk, let alone bad. It must have been a dull and lonely life too, for she stayed mainly at home during her childhood, while her brothers were sent away to school from an early age.That said, my childhood was much freer than Granny's. I went to school with my brother, and I played football with him and his friends. We all spoke a common languageand we got up to the same trouble. I would have died if I had had to stay indoors, wear a tight frock (女式礼服), and sew.36. How can we understand "children in her day were expected to be seen and not heard"? A. Children were not supposed to be heard by others.B. Children were not supposed to hear their parents' conversation.C. Children were not supposed to speak in the face of others.D. Children were not supposed to speak until asked to do it.37. What is the expression of "mind their p's and q's" supposed to mean? A. To mind their own business. B. To remember to say "please". C. To remember to say "thank you". D. To be well-mannered.38. Which of the following words can be used to describe Granny's feelings of her own childhood? A. Lonely. B. Dull. C. Proud. D. Happy.39. How did the author feel about her Granny's childhood? A. Disappointed. B. Unbearable. C. Respectable. D. Indifferent.40. Why did Granny often complain about modern children's behavior? A. She missed those good old days. B. She was too harsh on children. C. She didn't like kids who talk a lot. D. She was not open to new things. Passage 2Time spent in a bookshop can be most pleasant, whether you are a book-lover or merely there to buy a book as a present. You may even have entered the shop just to find shelter from a sudden shower. Whatever the reason, you can soon become totally unaware of your surroundings. You soon focus on some book or other, and usually it is only much later that you realize you have spent too much time there and must hurry off to keep some forgotten appointment.This opportunity to escape the realities of everyday life is the main attraction of a bookshop. A music shop is very much like a bookshop. You can range round such places to your heart's content. If it is a good shop, no assistant will approach you with the greeting, "Can I help you?" You needn't buy anything you don't want. In a bookshop an assistant should remain in the background until you have finished reading. Then, and only then, are his services necessary.Once a medical student had to read a textbook which was far too expensive for him to buy. He couldn't obtain it from the library and the only copy he could find was in a bookshop. Every afternoon, therefore, he would go to the shop and read a little of the book at a time. One day, however, he was disappointed to find the book missing from its usual place. He was about to leave, when he noticed the owner of the shop making a gesture to him with his hand. Expecting to be scolded, he went towards him. To his surprise, the owner pointed to the book which was put away in a corner. "I put it there in case anyone had a desire to buy it!" he said, and left the delighted student to continue his reading. 41. Time spent in a bookshop can be most pleasant _______________. A. only when you can find the book you want to buy B. only when you are a book-loverC. even when you enter it to avoid a sudden showerD. even when you know you are late for an appointment42. A bookshop is of much attraction because ______________ . A. it offers you an opportunity to forget about everyday life第 3 页共 5 页命题教师：刘艳茹审核人：B. it offers you an opportunity to listen to as much music as possibleC. it allows you to learn about new ideas and ways of doing thingsD. it allows you to have a good excuse for being late for an appointment 43. In a good bookshop __________. A. an assistant should always follow youB. an assistant should frequently approach you and offer helpC. you needn't buy anything you don't wantD. you can communicate freely with an assistant44. The medical student went to a bookshop every day _____________. A. to look for useful books B. to read a textbookC. to talk with the shop ownerD. to use the computer at the shop45. The owner of the bookshop put away the book ______________. A. in case other people wanted to buy itB. in case the medical student wanted to buy itC. because he wanted to sell it at a high priceD. because he wanted to keep it for himself Passage 3 Open or distance learning has had a major effect on higher education through the Open University, the only university to provide education exclusively for adult learners studying at a distance. Our 100,000 students are currently studying at the Open University. We found limited development of distance learning in the case studies, with the exceptionof some postgraduate and professional courses. Even here, however, there seemed to be limits on further growth because of the high costs involved in setting up new distance learning courses, as well as uncertainties of demand (particularly in terms of the perceived financial returns on study). One of the case study universities provided video facilities and visiting staff to a rural area for a group of undergraduate students about 50 miles away. This was a new development which was working well and likely to be expanded to involve other universities.The main reason for general lack of development of distance learning, especially at the undergraduate level, may be that other universities have been unable to afford the considerable set-up costs and student support facilities. As costs of technology come downthis might change. The Open Learning Foundation is developing connections between universities to set open learning approaches within existing programs of study and thus encourage their greater use. This is seen as likely to develop further in the future. 46. The Open University provides an education for _________________. A. students who do not like attending regular universitiesB. students who failed the College Entrance ExaminationC. students who are adults and away from a universityD. students who are limited in their ability to learn47. Among other things, the further growth of distance learning at postgraduate and professional levels is limited by ____________________. A. the high costs involved B. a low student demand C. a lack of educationD. the poor rural technology48. The attempt of one case study university to provide equipment and staff to a rural group of students _________. A. would be expanded B. did not work well C. might help learning D. could cost a lot49. The cost of setting up a distance learning program might change ______________.

Each passage is followed by some questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there arefour suggested answers marked A, B, C and D. Choose the best answerto each question.Passage 1The human brain has two sides, and each side has different work to do. The left side of the brain controls language and number; it analyses and reasons. The right side controls our imagination; it controls our appreciation of music and our sense of rhythm. It is the right side of our brain which daydreams.Great artists and great scientists are similar. They both use the two sides of their brains. It is well-known that Albert Einstein (1879 一1955), as a great scientist, also enjoyed art, playing the violin and sailing. Einstein said his scientific discoveries grew from his imagination rather than from analysis, reason and language. He said that written and spoken words were not important in his thinking. The story goes that Einstein was daydreaming one summer's day while sitting on a hill. He imagined he was riding on sunbeams to the far distance of the universe. Then he found that he had returned to the sun. So he realized that the universe must curve. He got this idea by using his imagination. He then used the left side of brain to apply analysis, number and reason. And finally he used language to explain it.Traditional, established education in schools encourages us to use the left side of our brains. Language, number, analysis and reason are given more importance in our schools than imagination and daydreaming. However, we are encouraged to hop when we have two perfectly good legs! Then why don't we give more value to visualthinking?In fact, we all need both sides of our brains. We need to use our imaginations to think of solutions to problems and to enjoy emotional and artistic experiences. And we need to be logical and to be able to analyze and organize in order to survive day by day.16.According to the passage, the left side of the brain _________ .A)controls language and numberB)controls our imaginationC)daydreamsD)controls our sense of rhythm17.What does the author want to show by using the example of Einstein?A)Great scientists are also great artists.B)The left side of Einstein's brain is very powerful.C)Einstein is a genius whose two sides of the brain are strong.D)The two sides of the brain are equally important.18.What do we learn about Einstein from the passage?A)He could play the violin well.B)He said his scientific discoveries are acquired by analysis rather than bydaydreaming.C)He was the first person to discover the track of the sun.D)He was disgusted at language.19.What does the author mean by saying "we are encouraged to hop when wehave two perfectly good legs" (Para. 4) ?A)We needn't hop because we are healthy.B)Only those who have something wrong in their legs can be encouraged tohop.C)It's foolish of us to hop when we have two perfectly good legs.D)We should use both sides of the brain.20.The author believes that the right side of our brain is as important as the leftside because ________________________ .A)it controls our appreciation of music and sense of rhythmB)it enables us to make scientific discoveriesC)it is more important to analyze and organize in order to surviveD)the imaginations may provide solutions to problems and enable us to enjoyemotional and artistic experiencesPassage 2In the United States, it is important to be on time, or punctual, for an appointment, a class, a meeting, etc. However, this may not be true in all countries. AnAmerican professor discovered this difference while teaching a class in a Brazilian university. The two-hour class was scheduled to begin at 10 a.m. and end at 12. On the first day, when the professor arrived on time, no one was in the classroom. Many students came after 10 a.m. Several arrived after 10:30 a.m. Two students came after 11 a.m. Although all the students greeted the professor as they arrived, few apologized for their lateness. Were these students being rude? He decided to study the students? behavior.The professor talked to American and Brazilian students about lateness in both an informal and a formal situation: at a lunch with a friend and in university calls, respectively. He gave them an example and asked them how they would react. If they had a lunch appointment with a friend, the average American student showed clearly lateness as 19 minutes after the agreed time. On the other hand, the average Brazilian student would be 33 minutes late.In an American university, students are expected to arrive at the appointed houi*. In contrast, in Brazil, neither the teacher nor the students always arrive at the appointed hou匚Classes not only begin at the scheduled time in the United States, but also end at the scheduled time. In the Brazilian class, only a few students left the class at 12:00; many remained past 12:30 to discuss the class and ask more questions. Arriving late may not be very important in Brazil, neither is staying late.21.The American professor studied the Brazilian students5 behavior becauseA.he felt angry at the students5 rudenessB.he felt puzzled at the students5 being lateC.he wanted to collect data for his researchD.he wanted to make students come on time later22.Which of the following is NOT true according to the passage?A.Both American and Brazilian students will often be late for a lunchappointment.B.Classes begin and end at the scheduled time in the United States.C.Brazilian teachers don't mind staying late after class.D.Brazilian students usually arrive late and leave early.23.What can we infer from the professor's study of lateness in the informal situation?A.Neither Brazilian nor American students like to be late in social gatherings.B.American students will become impatient if their friend is ten minutes late.C.Being late in one culture may not be considered rude in another culture.D.Brazilian students will not come thirty-three minutes after the agreed time.24.From the last paragraph we know that in Brazil, ______________________ .A.it is acceptable for professors to be late for classB.it is rude to keep a professor staying after classC.it is important to arrive at the appointed timeD.it is normal for students to leave during lectures25.What does this passage tell us?A.People learn the importance of time from the country in which they live.B.The importance of being on time differs among cultures.C.Students being late for class should explain the reason to their teacher.D.It is important to come to class on time in the United States.Passage 3Here are six questions about your approach to life. Try to answer them as honestly as you can.Are you hard driving and competitive?Are you usually pressed for time?Do you want to control others?Do you have a strong need to do better than others in most things?Do you eat too quickly?Do you get upset when you have to wait for anything?If you have answered "yes" to most of these questions, then I can make a few predictions about you, based on a recent eight-year study of nearly two thousand people who live the way that you do.You likely find that life is full of challenges and you often need to keep two or more projects moving at the same time. The chances are that you have been to college, that you have a management job and that you bring work home at night. You think that you put more effort into your job than many of the people you work with, and you certainly take your work more seriously than most of them. You get angry easily, and if someone is being long-winded （拐弯抹角的），you help them get to the point. You also have trouble finding the time to get your hair cut.And there's one other thing. You are about twice as likely to have a heart attack as someone who takes a more easygoing approach to life.The beginnings of your hard-driving behavior go right back to childhood. In school you got recognition and perhaps prizes for being quick and bright, for being an achiever, for competing with others and for winning. You likely went on from school to get a series of increasingly better jobs against pretty stiff competition. They were jobs where you had to care about the results, where you constantly had to push things forward and get things done. In your present job you also feel some conflict, eitherwith time or with other people. Some of those you work with don't seem able to understand the simplest ideas, and they often put a brake （约束）on what you're trying to achieve. The conflict may not take place every day. You pride yourself on being able to keep the lid on. But it's always there, under the surface.26.If your answers to above question are “yes”，you are likely to ___________A.enjoy your food at dinnerB.be good listenersC.wait a few seconds before answering a questionD.have more chances to suffer from a heart attack27.It can be concluded from the last paragraph that this hard-driving characterA.has been developed since childhoodB.may be changed by your experiencesC.will place no influence on your workD.enables you to be a successful person28.Which of the following words is not appropriate to describe this type of people?petitive.B.Nervous.C.Easygoing.D.Ambitious.29.What is implied in the last sentence?A.The lid will always remain in place.B.The conflict may occur any moment.C.The situation is always under your control.D.You are able to solve the problem.30.The main idea of the passage is ___________A.why competitive people are more likely to succeed in their careerB.how people can relax themselvesC.why hard-driving people are likely to have a heart attackD.how personality affects your attitude toward lifePassage 4Culture shock might be called an occupational disease of people who have been suddenly transplanted abroad. Like most ailments （疾病），it has its own symptoms and cure.Culture shock is precipitated （发生）by the anxiety that results from losing all our familiar signs and symbols of social intercourse. Those signs or cues include the thousand and one ways in which we orient ourselves to the situation of daily life:when to shake hands and what to say when we meet people, when and how to give tips, how to make purchases, when to accept and when to refuse invitations, when to take statements seriously and when not. These cues, which may be words, gestures, facial expressions, customs, or norms, are acquired by all of us in the course of growing up and are as much a part of our culture as the language we speak or the beliefs we accept. All of us depend for our peace of mind and our efficiency on hundreds of these cues, most of which we do not carry on the level of conscious awareness.Now when an individual enters a strange culture, all or most of these familiar cues are removed. He or she is like a fish out of water. No matter how broad-minded or full of goodwill you may be, a series of props （支撑）have been knocked from under you, followed by a feeling of frustration and anxiety. People react to the frustration in much the same way. First they reject the environment which causes the discomfort. u The ways of the host country are bad because they make us feel bad." When foreigners in a strange land get together to grouse （埋怨）about the host country and its people, you can be sure they are suffering from culture shock. Another phase of culture shock is regression. The home environment suddenly assumes a tremendous importance. To the foreigner everything becomes irrationally glorified. All the difficulties and problems are forgotten and only the good things back home are remembered. It usually takes a trip home to bring one back to reality.Some of the symptoms of culture shock are excessive washing of the hands, excessive concern over drinking water, food dishes, and bedding; fear of physical contact with attendants, the absent-minded stare; a feeling of helplessness and a desire for dependence on long-term residents of one's own nationality; fits of anger over minor frustrations; great concern over minor painsD. for whichD. instead ofD. attend D. todevoteA. attende and eruptions of the skin; and finally, that terrible longing to be back home.31. Culture shock is a disease ____ .A. commonly seen among people living in an unfamiliar environmentB. that happens to people in an alien cultureC. having something in common with other diseases in symptoms and curesD. that has been transplanted from abroad32. "Thousand and one ” means __A. a large number ofB. countableC. limitlessD. what the figure refers to33. The signs and cues of social intercourse ____A. are important to our social lifeB. vary with peopleC. can afford us peace of mindD. are never known to us34.

Reading Comprehension (40%)Directions: Read the following passage(s); carefully and do the multiple-choice questions. Text 1Why is it that the more connected we get, the more disconnected I feel? Every advance in communications technology is a step back from the closeness of human interaction. With e-mail and instant messaging over the Internet, we can now communicate without seeing or talking to one another. With voice mail, you can conduct entire conversations without ever reaching anyone. If my mom has a question, I just leave the answer on her machine.As almost every imaginable contact between human beings becomes automatic by machine, the alienation quotient goes up. You can't even call a person to get the phone number of another person anywhere. Directory assistance is almost always fully automatic by machine. Pumping gas at the station? Why say good-morning to the worker when you can swipe (刷卡) your credit card at the pump and save yourself the bother of human contact? Placing money at the bank? Why talk to a clerk who might live in the neighborhood when you can just put your credit card into the ATM?Pretty soon you won't have the hard task of making eye contact at the grocery store. Some grocery chains are using a self-scanner so you can check yourself out, avoiding those annoying clerks who look at you and ask how you are doing.21. The writer's attitude towards advances in communications technology may be described as ________.A) critical B) unconcerned C) positive D) uninterested22. If his mom has a question, he _________.A) will find ways to reach herB) will locate her e-mail addressC) will try to get her a voice machineD) will leave her the answer through voice mail23. Judging from the context, the word "alienation" in line 2, paragraph 2 means ________.A) relationship B) closeness C) strangeness D) stress24.

It can be inferred that the writer __________.A) is pleased with the modern pace of lifeB) feels more separated from othersC) doesn't want anyone to bother himD) sings the praises of communications technologyText 2The general objective of an MBA (工商管理硕士) programme is to build on the knowledge and skills of the students taking the courses to enable them to operate effectively at a strategic (战略的) level within an organization.Courses begin by developing an understanding of, and skills in, the major functional areas of business. Next, from this foundation specific topics in managem ent are considered, including project management and international management. Students are expected to be able to operate in a multi-disciplinary (多学科) way.The final stage normally focuses on strategic management and requires students to undertake a major organization-based project.

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. A great athlete practices until he can play quickly accurately without thinking. Tennis players call that "being in the zone." Educators call it "automatically."A child learns to read by sounding out the letters and decoding the words. With practice, he stumbles less and less, reading by the phrase. With automaticity, he doesn't have to think about decoding the words, so he can concentrate on 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 autom atic readers in the first grade who were reading almost three times as fast as the other children and scoring twice as high on comprehension tests. At fifth grade, the automatic readers were reading twice as fast as the others; and still outscoring them on accuracy, comprehension and vocabulary."It's not I. Q. but the amount of time a child spends reading that is the key to autom aticity, " according to Rossman. Any child who spends at least 3.5 to 4 hours a week reading books, magazines or newspapers will in all likelihood reach automaticity. At home, where the average child spends 25 hours a week watching television, it can happen by turning off the set just one night in favor of reading.You can test your child by giving him a paragraph or two to read aloud - som ething unfamiliar but appropriate to his age. If he reads aloud with expression, with a sense of the meaning of the sentences, he probably is an automatic reader. If he reads haltingly, one word at a time, without expression or meaning, he needs more practice.35. The first paragraph tells us ________.A) what automaticity isB) how accuracy is acquiredC) how a child learns to walkD) how an athlete is trained36. An automatic reader _______.A) sounds out the lettersB) concentrates on meaningC) has a high I.Q.D) pays much attention to the structures of sentences37. The Illinois study shows that the automatic reader's high speed ________.A) costs him a lot of workB) affects his comprehensionC) leads to his future successD) doesn't affect his comprehension39. A bright child ________.A) also needs practice to be an automatic readerB) always achieves great success in comprehension testsC) becomes an automatic reader after learning how to readD) is a born automatic reader40. The main idea of the passage isA) how to score high on comprehension testsB) reading is the key to school successC) how to test your child's reading abilityD) automaticity is important for efficient readingIII.
