Each passage is followed by fivequestions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A,B,Cand D, choose the best and mark your answer on the ANSEWR SHEET.Passage OneHave you ever heard of a pawpaw(木瓜) If not, do not feel bad. Many Americans donot know of the fruit, although it is native to the U.S..Once, however, it was one ofthe most popular fruits in North America. Happily, those who love the pawpaw are tryingto return it to its former position in American foods.A pawpaw is a tropical fruit that used to be grown along the East Coast from NewYork to Florida and all over the eastern U.S..At one time, it could be found as farwest as Nebraska.The pawpaw was an important food for Native Americans and even early Europeansettlers. Pawpaws reportedly were a favorite treat of George Washington, the first U.S.president, who especially liked them cold. Thomas Jefferson, the third U.S. president,was also s fan of the fruit. He planted papaws at his home in Virginia. He also sentpawpaw seeds to his friends in France, American explorers Lewis and Clark wrote in theirjournals about the pawpaw.The pawpaw is difficult to be sold commercially. The fruit requires a very specialenvironment---low, wet areas that sometimes flood. It has a very short harvest season,from two to three weeks in September and October. In addition, the fruit is good toeat for only two to three days after harvesting. This makes it hard to sell anywheredistant from the pawpaw tree it comes from.Planters are again growing pawpaw trees and harvesting the fruit. In several statesfarmers have organized “pawpaw festivals” to reintroduce people to food. At such afestival in Maryland recently, farmers displayed different products made with pawpaws,like pawpaw jams, pies, ice-cream and beer.50. Many American people do not know that the pawpaw _____A. Was once popular in the U.S.B. Is native to the U.S. onlyC. Has become popular againD. Is a healthy fruit51. The pawpaw used to be found mainly _____A. Around NebraskaB. In the eastern U.S.C. All over FloridaD. In New York suburbs52. George Washington and Thomas Jefferson are mentioned in paragraph 3 as _____A. American explorersB. Famous politiciansC. Early pawpaw plantersD. Pawpaw lovers53. It is difficult to sell the pawpaw on a large scale for the following reasonsEXCPEPT that the fruit _____A. Requires a very special environmentB. Has a very short harvest seasonC. Does not taste goodD. Is difficult to preserve after harvesting54. Pawpaw festivals are organized in some states _____A. As a way of celebrating harvestB. As part of the traditional cultureC. To display pawpaw growing techniquesD. To reintroduce people to the fruitPassage FourOnline dating has just been revealed to be one of the most common ways to starta relationship. But new research reveals that the concept is still highly flawed(有缺陷的).An analysis of 400 studies into online dating shows that while it offers accessto plenty of other singles, users can be overwhelmed and put off by the volume of choice,defeating the purpose.The research, by Northwestern University and published in the journal PsychologicalScience in the public interest, found that the processes involved don’t lend themselvesto forming strong relationships. The findings also indicated that the concept of anonline profile(介绍) is not entirely useful and “can result in treating potentialpartners as mere objects”.Lead author Eli J Finkel explained: “Online dating is a terrific addition forsingles to meet. However, there are two problems.” First, studying over seeminglyendless lists of profiles of people one does not know, as on , does not revealmuch about them. Second, it “overloads people and they end up shutting down,” he said.He compared it to shopping at “supermarkets of love” and said psychologicalresearch shows people presented with too many choices tend to make lazy and often poordecisions.The study’s authors also questioned the algorithms(算法) employed by sites suchas to match people based on their interests or personality—comparing itto having a real estate agent of love. While the algorithm may reduce the number ofpotential partners from thousands to a few, they may be as unsuitable for each otheras two people meeting at random, Dr Finkel explained, adding the chances are no betterthan finding a relationship by walking into any bar. “There’s no better way to figureout whether you’re a match with somebody than talking to them over a coffee or beer,”Dr Finkel said.55. What is the author’s attitude towards online datingA. NegativeB. PositiveC. IndifferentD. Neutral56. According to Paragraph 2, online dating _____A. Attracts a limited number of singlesB. Has been widely studied recentlyC. Is criticized as lacking a purposeD. Offers too many choice57. The phrase “lend themselves to”(Para.3) probably means _____A. Be opposed toB. Be easily used forC. Be happy withD. Be consistent with58. Why is Dr. Finkel mentioned in the passageA. He is the lead researcher of the study on online datingB. He is a well-know professor at Northwestern UniversityC. He is an expert in analyzing people’s shopping patternsD. He is the president of a famous online matching website59. According to Dr Finkel, what is the best way to find a matchA. An evaluation on the basis of interests and personality.B. An analysis based on proper computer algorithmsC. A comparison with other potential partnersD. A face-to-face talk with the potential partnerPassage ThreeWhen jack Davis, 9, looks up at the night sky, he doesn’t see just the stars. Hesees his future. The fourth grader from New Jersey has a deep interest in outer spaceand the alien(外星的) beings he thinks might live there.In July, Jack heard that NASA was looking for a new planetary protection officerand decided he was the right person for the job. The position, which focuses onpreventing astronauts from accidentally bringing extremely small, potentiallydangerous alien life-forms back to Earth and ensuring that astronauts do not takeEarth-based germs with them into space, pays from $124,406 to $187,000 per year.Jack wrote a letter to NASA, noting his qualifications for the job. “My sistersays I am an alien,” Jack wrote, pointing out that since he is young, he can “learnto think like an alien.” He signed the letter “Jack Davis, Guardian of the Galaxy.”Within days, Jack received a personal letter from NASA’s planetary science director,James L. Green. “We are always looking for bright future scientists and engineers tohelp us,” Green wrote.”I hope you will study hard and do well in school. We hope tosee you here at NASA one of these days!”Jack said he was “shocked” when Green’s response arrived. “I shouted, I gota letter from NASA!”Green says he loves to answer letters from children. He calls his response a“gravity assist.” Spacecraft use gravity assistance from objects like planets andmoons to help power the craft toward another celestial(天上的) body. Green hopes a replycan influence a person’s path in life in a similar way.60. Which of the following can best describe Jack DavisA. MatureB. Curious.C. Talented.D. Honest61. What is the job responsibility of the planetary protection officerA. To ensure the mental and physical health of the astronautsB. To protect Earth from possible alien attacks in the futureC. To keep harmful substances form spreading between Earth and outer space.D. To study the unknown substances astronauts brought back to Earth62. In this letter, Jack explains that his strength lies in his _____A. PersonalityB. AppearanceC. HobbyD. Age63. In his response to the boy, James Green _____.A. Encourages Jack to be a future NASA scientistB. Invites Jack to visit NASA as soon as possibleC. Tells Jack NASA’s requireme nts for scientistsD. Offers to provide training for Jack at NASA64. In the last paragraph, the author intends to _____.A. Support Green for using gravity assist in projects.B. Introduce the concept of gravity assistC. Guide young people by giving them a gravity assistD. Explain how Green’s letter serves as a gravity assistPassage TwoThroughout history, humans have suffered from a condition that they have never beenable to escape—ageing. Some researchers, however, believe we may be thinking aboutit in the wrong way. They say we should start treating ageing itself as a disease—one that can be prevented and treated.Their hopes are founded on recent discoveries that suggest biological ageing maybe entirely preventable and treatable. From a biological preventive, the body ages atdifferent rates according to genetic and environmental factors. Tiny errors build upin our DNA and our cells begin developing faults that can grow into tissue damage, whichleads to ageing and ageing—related diseases.One of the leading figures in human life research, Aubrey De Grey, explains in aninterview that their goal is to develop a set of therapies for middle-aged and olderpeople that will leave them physically and mentally equivalent(相当的) to someone underthe age of 30. “Of course, without wiping their memories,” he adds. But he doesn’t think that is will be possible to stop ageing altogether. He sees a future where“rejuvenation technologies” can be applied to old people in order to revert theircells to what they were like when they were in their youth, buying them extra time.The idea is that someone who is treated at the age of 60 will be biologically revertedto 30. But because the therapies are not permanent fixes. Their cells will end upbecoming 60 years old again in another 30 years time.65. By “treating ageing itself as a disease”, some researchers mean _____A. Aged people are liable to diseasesB. Ageing can be dealt with like a diseaseC. Ageing is a disease hard to cureD. Ageing should be treated carefully66. Humans age at different rates due to _____ reasons.A. PhysicalB. BiologicalC. Genetic and environmentalD. DNA and cell-related67. The goal of De Grey’s research is to _____.A. Freeze people’s ageB. Make people youngerC. Stop ageing altogetherD. Adjust people’s memories68. Wha t does “rejuvenation” (para.3) possibly meanA. Relating to cellsB. Relating to genes.C. Becoming healthy.D. Becoming young.69. What will happen if someone is treated with De Grey’s technologyA. He will stay young for a longer timeB. He will no longer grow old.C. He will live up to at least 60 years old.D. He will not get ageing-related diseases.Part I Dialogue completion (15 points)Directions: there are 15 short incomplete dialogues in this part, each followedby four choices marked A, B, C and D, choose the one that best completes the dialogueand mark your answer on the ANSEWR SHEET.70.

Each passage is followed by some questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A), B), C) and D). You should decide on the best choice and mark the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet with a single line through the centre.Passage 1Question 51 to 55 are based on the following passage:Censorship (审查制度) is for the good of society as a whole. Imagine what chaos there would be if we lived in a society without laws. Like the law, censorship contributes to the common good.Some people think that it is disgraceful that a censor should interfere with works of art. Who is this person, they say, to ban this great book or cut that great film? No one can set himself up as a superior being. But we must remember two things. Firstly, where genuine works of art are concerned, modern censors are extremely liberal in their views----often far more liberal than a large section of the public. Artistic merit is something which censors clearly recognize. And secondly, we must bear in mind that the great proportion of books, plays and films which come before the censor are very far from being "works of art".When discussing censorship, therefore, we should not confine our attention to great masterpieces, but should consider the vast numbers of publications and films which make up the bulk (大部分) of the entertainment industry. When censorship laws are relaxed, dishonest people are given a licence to produce virtually anything in the name of "art". There is an increasing tendency to equate "artistic" with "pornographic" (色情的).So one of the great things that censorship does is to prevent certain people from making fat profits by corrupting the minds of others. Society would really be poorer if it deprived itself of the wise counsel and the restraining influence which a censor provides.51.A censor's duty is ____.A) to see there is no filthy content in publications or filmsB) to ban books and cut filmsC) to distinguish works of art from othersD) to make sure that no licence is given to dishonest people52.Some people are against censorship for the reason that ____.A) censorship is not consistent with the ideals of democracyB) censors prevent people from making profitsC) censors are conservative and cannot appreciate artistic meritD) censorship limits the way people feel and think53.When the writer says "to equate 'artistic' which 'pornographic', he means ____.A) there is no clear distinction between what is artistic and what is pornographicB) masterpieces are sometimes offensive to decencyC) many pornographic works will be published in the name of artD) artistic works and pornographic works have the same market value54.According to the writer, a society free from censorship ____.A) would be poor materiallyB) would expose its people to dangers of being corruptedC) could not develop its entertainment industryD) would allow only a small section of people to make profits55.All the following are the writer's views except that ____.A) censors are fully qualified for their jobB) masterpieces even with pornographic content are still masterpiecesC) society will not do without censorshipD) many books, plays and films are not works ofPassage 2Question 56 to 60 are based on the following passage:A few weeks ago I was talking to a school inspector in one of the more fashionable districts of Paris. She astonished me by saying that if she had young children today, she'd probably send them to a private school. She had devoted 25 years of her life to the ideal of free public education, she said, but the truth was the state system was in a mess.There are two main problems: State schools in France have to accept whatever teachers are assigned to them by the Ministry of Education. As my school inspector friend put it, "one year a schoolmay be excellent; three or four years later, half the teachers may be incapable!" That is not very reassuring if you're a parent. Private schools can choose their own teachers.The other problem is discipline or, rather, the lack of it. Not long ago a school in Birmingham made headlines in Britain because the teachers were being terrorized by their pupils. In the desolate suburbs of low-cost apartment blocks, thrown together in the 1960s on the outskirts of most big French cities, such stories are commonplace. Vandalism(破坏他人财产的行为), drug-taking and extortion aren't limited to schools in poor areas either. A recent poll found that 88 per cent of French children rate as the biggest problem of their school lives the prevalence (流行, 猖獗)of factions and gangs which spend all their time fighting one another. Small wonder, then, that the private schools, with their emphasis on traditional values, are undergoing a new surge of popularity (despite disapproval from France's new socialist leaders), and competition to get into the best of them has now become intense.56.The French school inspector has long been a supporter of ____.A) compulsory education B) free private educationC) private schools D) the state school system57.The French state education system ____.A) does not guarantee the competence of teachersB) seems to have no serious difficultiesC) is running smoothlyD) promises to maintain high standards58.Private schools in France today ____.A) are generally undergoing changes for the worseB) enjoy the prestige(声望) of becoming the place to send one's children toC) have become victims of vandalismD) never hire teachers who stress traditional values59.Lack of discipline among students is rampant in state schools ____.A) in the Paris slums, but not in other areasB) noticeably and solely in the poorer areas in French citiesC) almost everywhere in FranceD) rather restricted to Birmingham60.France children who wish to go to the best private schools can do so by ____.A) taking highly competitive examinations B) simply sending in applicationsC) joining factions and gangs D) drawing lotsPart ⅢCloze ( 10 points, 15 minutes )Directions: There are 20 blanks in the following passage. For eachblank there are four choices marked A), B), C) and D). You should choose the One that the best fits into the passage. Then mark the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet with a single line through the cettre.Today vegetables, fish, fruit, meat and beer are canned in enormous quantities. Within three generations the 81 habits of millions have been revolutionized. Foods that were previously 82 may now be eaten at any time, and strange foods are 83 far from the countries where they are 84 . The crops many farmers now produce often depend on the nearness of a canning factory.The first stage in the canning 85 is the preparation of the raw food. Diseased and waste portions are thrown 86 ; meat and fish are cleaned and trimmed; fruit and vegetables washed and graded for 87 . The jobs are principally 88 by machine.The next stage, for vegetables only, is soak in very 89 or boiling water for a short time to remove air and 90 the vegetable. This makes 91 easier to pack into cans for sterilization (free from living germs).Some packing machines fill 92 to 400 cans a minute. Fruit, fish and meat are packed raw and cold into cans, and then all the air is removed. 93 the cans are sealed, the pressure inside each can is only about half the pressure of the outside air.The sterilization process which follows the cans are subjected 94steam or boiling water, with the temperature and time 95 according to the type of food. Cans of fruit, for example, 96 only 5-10 minutes in boiling water, 97 meat and fish are cooked at higher temperatures for 98 period. After sterilization, the cans are cooled quickly to 32 degree to prevent the contents 99 becoming too soft.The final stage before sending off to the grocer is labeling, and packing the tins into boxes. Nowadays, however, labeling is often printed on in 100 by the can-maker and no paper labels are then required.81.A) eat B) eatable C) eaten D) eating 82.A) monthly B) year-round C) seasonal D) quarterly83.A) accessible B) obtained C) available D) usable 84.A) planting B) grown C) growing D) producing85.A) process B) reaction C) procession D) program 86.A) about B) away C) down D) up87.A) size B) length C) height D) breadth 88.A) had B) fulfilled C) pocked D) done 89.A) chilly B) cold C) hot D) freezing 90.A) soften B) cook C) steam D) harden 91.A) them B) it C) us D) that92.A) up B) down C) in D) on93.A) When B) If C) Although D) Before94.A) on B) to C) in D) at95.A) varies B) vary C) varied D) varying 96.A) cost B) spend C) take D) consume97.A) as B) because C) while D) for98.A) less B) longer C) shorter D) more99.A) off B) through C) by D) from100. A) fashion B) before hand C) advance D) practice Part IV English-Chinese Translation (20 points, 15 minutes) Directions: In this part, there are six items which you should translate into Chinese, each item consisting one or more sentences. They are all taken from the reading passage you have just read.①(line 1-3, para. 3, passage 1 ) When discussing censorship, therefore, we should not confine our attention to great masterpieces, but should consider the vast numbers of publications and films which make up the bulk (大部分) of the entertainment industry.②(line 2-3, para. 2, passage 2 ) As my school inspector friend put it, "one year a school may be excellent; three or four years later, half the teachers may be incapable!"③(line 5-7, para. 2, passage 3 ) He must serve as a man responsiblefor the fortune he has earned and use that fortune to provide greater opportunity for all and to increase man’s knowledge of himself and of his universe.④(line 2-4, para. 2, Passage 4 ) It is just one of several techniques being tried at U.S. medical schools and hospitals in an attempt to deal with the most universal complaint about doctors: lack of sympathy.⑤(line 6-9, para. 1, Passage 5 ) Differentials(差异)in infant mortality were very large---75 per cent higher in poverty than in nonpoverty areas. In both cases, the differences between white and nonwhite were even more substantial than between poverty and nonpoverty areas.⑥(line 3-4, para. 4, passage 6) Monitoring by computer has proven to be very accurate and increases early discovery of life threatening events.Part V &n, bsp; Writing (20 points, 35 minutes)Directions: For this part, you are allowed 35 minutes to write a composition on the topic Diligence is the Father of Success.

The Earth's climate is changing at an alarming rate due to human activities such as burning fossil fuels, deforestation, and industrialization. These activities release greenhouse gases into the atmosphere, leading to global warming and extreme weather events.One of the most evident effects of climate change is rising sea levels. As temperatures increase, polar ice caps and glaciers melt, causing oceans to expand and flood coastal areas.Low-lying countries like Bangladesh and Tuvalu are especially vulnerable to sea-level rise, putting millions of people at risk of displacement.Another consequence of climate change is the disruption of ecosystems and biodiversity. Rising temperatures alter habitats and threaten the survival of countless plant and animal species.This loss of biodiversity reduces the resilience of ecosystems, making them more susceptible to diseases and pests.Furthermore, climate change exacerbates food insecurity and water scarcity. Erratic weather patterns disrupt agricultural production, leading to crop failure and food shortages. Droughts and floods also affect access to clean water, posing a threat to human health and sanitation.In conclusion, climate change is a global crisis that requires immediate action. Governments, businesses, and individuals must work together to reduce emissions, protect natural habitats, and adopt sustainable practices. By taking collective responsibility, we can mitigate the effects of climate change and build a more sustainable future for generations to come.Questions:1. What are the main causes of climate change?2. How does climate change impact rising sea levels?3. Why is biodiversity important, and how is it affected by rising temperatures?4. What are the consequences of food insecurity and water scarcity due to climate change?Section B: WritingWrite an essay on one of the following topics:1. The Importance of Renewable Energy in Combating Climate Change2. The Role of Education in Raising Awareness about Environmental Issues3. Strategies for Sustainable Urban Development in the Face of Climate ChangeYour essay should be well-structured, with clear arguments supported by relevant examples and evidence.Section C: Listening ComprehensionListen to the audio recordings and answer the questions based on the information provided.1.

One Friday afternoon he was ridingalong the track towards the Henderson farm. He was looking for a prize bull which had escaped from the Borrogee paddock. He reached the hills and saw at once that he could not go further.There had been a fire in the forest which had gone out. But the air was still full of smoke and fallen trees had blocked the track. Jack was just going to turn back when he saw something moving in the smoke. He waited. It was a girl on a horse, and she was riding towards him. “There’s a badly burnt man on the farm,”the girl shouted. “He saved my life. Please help me to save him.”The girl was Cathy Henderson. She had been on horseback for two hours. She had to jump over fallen trees that were stillburning. Her pony had fallen with her twice. She was thirsty and almost dead from want of sleep. But she rode back to the farm with Jack immediately.Joe Brook was unconscious when they reached him. They lifted him onto Jack’s horse. The ride back to Borrogee was terrible. Cathy was so tired that Jack had to tie her to her pony. The pony was tired too, but its courage was astonishing. It followed Jack right to Borrogee Hospital. Nobody saw them arrive because it was night.“I’ve never seen a horse like that pony,”Jack said. Cathy praised Jack Billabong, but she refused to say anything about the pony, “Joe will write about her in his story,”she said.But she did say one thing: “If flame hadn’t returned to the farm that afternoon, Joe and I would have died.”16.

Dr. Aiken studied a number of couples who had been married for at least twenty-five years. Each couple provided four photographs—one photo of each partner at the time of their marriage and another photo of each partner twenty-five or more years later. All background was cut from the photos to remove any clues. The photos were then displayed in groups: a random grouping of the persons at the time of their marriage and another random grouping of the same persons who took photographs later. Some testees were asked to pick out the partners. They failed totally with the first group. Their judgements were no better than chance. But with the photos taken twenty-five or more years after the marriage, the testees were quite successful with the mosthappily-married couples.Dr. Aiken believes there are several reasons why couples grow alike. One reason has something to do with imitation. One person tends to copy or do the same as someone else withoutknowing it. He says human begins to imitate the expressions of the faces of their loved ones. “Another possible reason,”he says, “is the common experience of the couples.”There is a tendency for people who have the same life experience to change their faces in similar ways. For example, if a couple have suffered from a lot of sad experiences, their faces are likely to change in a similar way.21. Dr. Aiken cut the background from the photos for the purpose of __________.A. imitating the couples’lifeB. grouping the couples againC. leaving no trace for the testeesD. giving the testees more chances22. The underlined sentence “Their judgements were no better than chance”implies that the testees __________.A. did a good job in making their choices.B. had difficulty in picking out the partnersC. had no chance to make the right judgementsD. did better with the first group than with the second23. The underlined word “imitate”(in Para. 2) has a similar meaning to __________.A. copyB. changeC. knowD. suffer24. From the passage we can draw the conclusion that ___________.A. couples who look alike can live longerB. most partners have been proved to grow alikeC. the influence between partners can be quite strongD. happily-married couples are often richer than others25. The main purpose of the passage is to ___________.A. explain why couples grow alikeB. tell how couples like each otherC. discuss the function of marriageD. describe the life of happily married couples。

Passage 1Ants are great athletes in proportion to their size. They can lilt a weight four hundred times their own weight. Theoretically a five-pound ant could easily lilt a ton.The most skillful farmers in the insect world are the small, heavily armored parasol ants.They work at night and it is nothing for them to strip a large tree at a time, marching off with bits Of leaf held over them like parasols.Surprisingly enough, these ants do not eat the vegetation they got. Rather they use it as raw material for their remarkable underground gardens, which they tend themselves.The shreds of the leaves are literally chewed into a rich compost which is used to strengthen the garden where a thread-like fungus is cultivated. This species of fungus is their only source of food.Included in the extraordinary parasol ant society are tiny garden workers, and slightly bigger workers who dig the interconnecting chambers of the hive. The parasol queen ant, more than one hundred times me size of the garden workers, is waited upon hand and foot by hundreds of her citizens.21. An ant is very strong in proportion to its weight.

For example, psychologists areinterested in why some things make you sad, but others make you happy.They want to know why some people are shy, but others are quite talkative. They also want to know why people do the things that they do. They test intelligence.Psychologists deal with the minds and behavior of people. Your mind consists of all your feelings,thoughts,and ideas. It is the results of the part of the brain called the cerebrum. Your behavior is the way you act or conduct yourself.Examples of behavior include shouting,crying,laughing,and sleeping.Several people have been instrumental in the field of psychology.Wilhelm Wudt set up the first psychological laboratory in Leipzig, Germany, in1879.Ivan Pavlov, a Russian, is noted for his experiments with dogs in which he studied their relaxes and reactions.Around 1900, Sigmund Freud stated his theory that people try to repress any memories or thoughts that they believed were not good,Psychologists should not be confused with psychiatrists. Psychiatrists deal only with mental illness. They are medical doctors who treat people.26: A good title for this selection isA. Studying the MindB. Feelings and Behavior of Human BeingsC. Psychology and PsychiatryD. Famous Psychologists27. “Some people are shy. ’’That meansA. they are modestB. they are quietC. they never say a wordD. they are ashamed28.

There are two choices, throwing them away or recycling. Throwing away a metal beverage container wastes as much energy as filling a can with gasoline and pouring half out. Besides wasting energy, throwing away bottles a11d cans causes pollution, increases the volume of solid wastes, and uses up natural resources.To control these problems, only nine states have adopted bottle laws. The United States governrnent should require every state to have a bottle law or constitute a national bottle law·To understand how a bottle law can help,you must know how it works.When consumers buy canned or bottled beverages at the store,they pay deposits. This deposit can range from twenty tofifty cents per bottle or can. In order to get this deposit back, the bottles and cans must be returned to supermarkets after they are emptied. The supermarkets then return the bottles and cans to their manufacturers for either reuse or recycling. 。

自学考试学位英语试题
自学考试学位英语试题一、阅读理解Passage 1One of the most interesting fields of scientific study is body language. Scientists have discovered that most of the communication we do is through body language instead of words. In fact, some scientists believe that body language can reveal our true feelings and thoughts better than words.For example, when we feel happy, we tend to smile. A smile can show our friendliness and openness. On the other hand, when we feel angry, our eyebrows may become furrowed and our face may turn red. These facial expressions indicate our anger or irritation.Body language also includes gestures. For instance, when we nod our heads, it usually means agreement or approval. When we shake our heads, it means disagreement or rejection. These simple movements can convey a lot of information without saying a word.Furthermore, our posture and body movements can also convey our emotions. When we feel confident, we stand straight with our head held high. When we feel nervous, we may fidget or avoid eye contact. These physical signs give others clues about how we are feeling.In conclusion, body language is a powerful form of communication. It reveals our emotions, attitudes, and intentions. By paying attention to body language, we can better understand the true meaning behind someone's words and actions.Passage 2The Internet is increasingly becoming an integral part of our daily lives. It has revolutionized the way we communicate, work, and access information. However, with these benefits come potential risks and disadvantages.One major concern is the issue of online privacy. When we use the Internet, we leave traces of our personal information, such as our names, addresses, and browsing habits. This information can be collected and used by companies or even hackers without our consent. Therefore, it is important for individuals to be aware of the privacy policies of the websites they visit and to take necessary precautions to protect their personal data.Another disadvantage of the Internet is the spread of misinformation. With the abundance of information available online, it can be difficult to distinguish between accurate and false information. This can lead to misunderstandings, confusion, and even harmful consequences. It is essential for Internet users to develop critical thinking skills and to verify the reliability of the information they come across.Additionally, excessive Internet use can have negative effects on individuals' mental and physical health. Spending excessive time online can lead to a sedentary lifestyle, lack of social interaction, and even addiction. It is important for individuals to find a balance between online activities and other aspects of their lives, such as exercise, face-to-face communication, and hobbies.In conclusion, while the Internet has brought numerous benefits, it is crucial to remain mindful of the potential risks and disadvantages. By beingcautious about privacy, evaluating information critically, and maintaining a healthy online-offline balance, individuals can make the most of the Internet while minimizing its negative impacts.二、完形填空Linda and Lisa were twin sisters.

Each passage is followed by some questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A), B), C) and D). You should decide on the best choice and mark the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet with a single line through the centre.Passage 1Question 51 to 55 are based on the following passage:Censorship (审查制度) is for the good of society as a whole. Imagine what chaos there would be if we lived in a society without laws. Like the law, censorship contributes to the common good.Some people think that it is disgraceful that a censor shouldinterfere with works of art. Who is this person, they say, to ban this great book or cut that great film? No one can set himself up as a superior being. But we must remember two things. Firstly, where genuine works of art are concerned, modern censors are extremely liberal in their views----often far more liberal than a large section of the public. Artistic merit is something which censors clearly recognize. And secondly, we must bear in mind that the great proportion of books, plays and films which come before the censor are very far from being "works of art".When discussing censorship, therefore, we should not confine our attention to great masterpieces, but should consider the vast numbers of publications and films which make up the bulk (大部分) of the entertainment industry. When censorship laws are relaxed, dishonest people are given a licence to produce virtually anything in the name of "art". There is an increasing tendency to equate "artistic" with "pornographic" (色情的).So one of the great things that censorship does is to prevent certain people from making fat profits by corrupting the minds of others. Society would really be poorer if it deprived itself of the wise counsel and the restraining influence which a censor provides.51.A censor's duty is ____.A) to see there is no filthy content in publications or filmsB) to ban books and cut filmsC) to distinguish works of art from othersD) to make sure that no licence is given to dishonest people52.Some people are against censorship for the reason that ____.A) censorship is not consistent with the ideals of democracyB) censors prevent people from making profitsC) censors are conservative and cannot appreciate artistic meritD) censorship limits the way people feel and think53.When the writer says "to equate 'artistic' which 'pornographic', he means ____.A) there is no clear distinction between what is artistic and what is pornographicB) masterpieces are sometimes offensive to decencyC) many pornographic works will be published in the name of artD) artistic works and pornographic works have the same market value54.According to the writer, a society free from censorship ____.A) would be poor materiallyB) would expose its people to dangers of being corruptedC) could not develop its entertainment industryD) would allow only a small section of people to make profits55.All the following are the writer's views except that ____.A) censors are fully qualified for their jobB) masterpieces even with pornographic content are still masterpiecesC) society will not do without censorshipD) many books, plays and films are not works ofPassage 2Question 56 to 60 are based on the following passage:A few weeks ago I was talking to a school inspector in one of the more fashionable districts of Paris. She astonished me by saying that if she had young children today, she'd probably send them to a private school. She had devoted 25 years of her life to the ideal of free public education, she said, but the truth was the state system was in a mess.There are two main problems: State schools in France have to accept whatever teachers are assigned to them by the Ministry of Education. As my school inspector friend put it, "one year a school may be excellent; three or four years later, half the teachers may beincapable!" That is not very reassuring if you're a parent. Private schools can choose their own teachers.The other problem is discipline or, rather, the lack of it. Not long ago a school in Birmingham made headlines in Britain because the teachers were being terrorized by their pupils. In the desolate suburbs of low-cost apartment blocks, thrown together in the 1960s on the outskirts of most big French cities, such stories are commonplace. Vandalism(破坏他人财产的行为), drug-taking and extortion aren't limited to schools in poor areas either. A recent poll found that 88 per cent of French children rate as the biggest problem of their school lives the prevalence (流行, 猖獗)of factions and gangs which spend all their time fighting one another. Small wonder, then, that the private schools, with their emphasis on traditional values, are undergoing a new surge of popularity (despite disapproval from France's new socialist leaders), and competition to get into the best of them has now become intense.56.The French school inspector has long been a supporter of ____.A) compulsory education B) free private educationC) private schools D) the state school system57.The French state education system ____.A) does not guarantee the competence of teachersB) seems to have no serious difficultiesC) is running smoothlyD) promises to maintain high standards58.Private schools in France today ____.A) are generally undergoing changes for the worseB) enjoy the prestige(声望) of becoming the place to send one's children toC) have become victims of vandalismD) never hire teachers who stress traditional values59.Lack of discipline among students is rampant in state schools ____.A) in the Paris slums, but not in other areasB) noticeably and solely in the poorer areas in French citiesC) almost everywhere in FranceD) rather restricted to Birmingham60.France children who wish to go to the best private schools can do so by ____.A) taking highly competitive examinations B) simply sending in applicationsC) joining factions and gangs D) drawing lotsPart ⅢCloze ( 10 points, 15 minutes )Directions: There are 20 blanks in the following passage. For each blank there are four choices marked A), B), C) and D). You shouldchoose the One that the best fits into the passage. Then mark the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet with a single line through the cettre.Today vegetables, fish, fruit, meat and beer are canned in enormous quantities. Within three generations the 81 habits of millions have been revolutionized. Foods that were previously 82 may now be eaten at any time, and strange foods are 83 far from the countries where they are 84 . The crops many farmers now produce often depend on the nearness of a canning factory.The first stage in the canning 85 is the preparation of the raw food. Diseased and waste portions are thrown 86 ; meat and fish are cleaned and trimmed; fruit and vegetables washed and graded for 87 . The jobs are principally 88 by machine.The next stage, for vegetables only, is soak in very 89 or boiling water for a short time to remove air and 90 the vegetable. This makes 91 easier to pack into cans for sterilization (free from living germs).Some packing machines fill 92 to 400 cans a minute. Fruit, fish and meat are packed raw and cold into cans, and then all the air is removed. 93 the cans are sealed, the pressure inside each can is only about half the pressure of the outside air.The sterilization process which follows the cans are subjected 94 steam or boiling water, with the temperature and time 95 accordingto the type of food. Cans of fruit, for example, 96 only 5-10 minutes in boiling water, 97 meat and fish are cooked at higher temperatures for 98 period. After sterilization, the cans are cooled quickly to 32 degree to prevent the contents 99 becoming too soft.The final stage before sending off to the grocer is labeling, and packing the tins into boxes. Nowadays, however, labeling is often printed on in 100 by the can-maker and no paper labels are then required.81.A) eat B) eatable C) eaten D) eating 82.A) monthly B) year-round C) seasonal D) quarterly83.A) accessible B) obtained C) available D) usable 84.A) planting B) grown C) growing D) producing85.A) process B) reaction C) procession D) program 86.A) about B) away C) down D) up87.A) size B) length C) height D) breadth 88.A) had B) fulfilled C) pocked D) done 89.A) chilly B) cold C) hot D) freezing 90.A) soften B) cook C) steam D) harden 91.A) them B) it C) us D) that92.A) up B) down C) in D) on93.A) When B) If C) Although D) Before94.A) on B) to C) in D) at95.A) varies B) vary C) varied D) varying 96.A) cost B) spend C) take D) consume97.A) as B) because C) while D) for98.A) less B) longer C) shorter D) more99.A) off B) through C) by D) from100.

Then mark the corresponding letter in the Answer Sheet One with a single line through the center.Passage 1Ants are great athletes in proportion to their size.They can lilt a weight four hundred times their own weight.Theoretically a five-pound ant could easily lilt a ton.The most skillful farmers in the insect world are the small,heavily armored parasol ants.They work at night and it is nothing for them to strip a large tree at a time,marching off with bits Of leaf held over them like parasols.Surprisingly enough,these ants do not eat the vegetation they got.Rather they use it as raw material for their remarkable underground gardens,which they tend themselves.The shreds of theleaves are literally chewed into a rich compost which is used to strengthen the garden where a thread-like fungus is cultivated.This species of fungus is their only source of food.Included in the extraordinary parasol ant society are tiny garden workers,and slightly bigger workers who dig the interconnecting chambers of the hive.The parasol queen ant, more than onehundred times me size of the garden workers,is waited upon hand and foot by hundreds of her citizens.21.An ant is very strong in proportion to its weight.Ants call lift a weight .A.300 times their own weightB.600 times their own weightC.five-pound more than their own weightD.400 times their own weight22.In a short time,they call strip a tree of all its leaves in order to make aA.home for the queen antB.compost for their gardensC.species of fungusD.kind of food23.When did the armored parasol ants work?A.At daytime.B.At night.C.In the morning.D.At noon.24.What’S the usage of fungus?A.To decorate the garden.B.The only source of the ant’s food.C.To protect the tree.D.The place for them to live in.25.The armored parasols are regarded asA.great athletesB.skillful farmersC.queen antsD.chamber buildersPassage 2Psychology is the study of the mind and mental activities.For example,psychologists are interested in why some things make you sad,but others make you happy. They want to know why some people are shy,but others are quite talkative.They also want to know why people do the things that they do.They test intelligence.Psychologists deal with the minds and behavior of people.Your mind consists of all your feelings,thoughts,and ideas.It is the results of the part of the brain called the cerebrum.Your behavior is the way you act or conduct yourself. Examples of behavior include shouting,crying,laughing,and sleeping.Several people have been instrumental in the field of psychology.Wilhelm Wudt set up the first psychological laboratory in Leipzig,Germany, in1879.Ivan Pavlov,a Russian,is noted for his experiments with dogs in which he studied their relaxes and reactions.Around 1900,Sigmund Freud stated his theory that people try to repress any memories or thoughts that they believed were not good,Psychologists should not be confused with psychiatrists.Psychiatrists deal only with mental illness.They are medical doctors who treat people.26:A good title for this selection isA.Studying the MindB.Feelings and Behavior of Human BeingsC.Psychology and PsychiatryD.Famous Psychologists27.“Some people are shy.’’That meansA.they are modestB.they are quietC.they never say a wordD.they are ashamed28.We may conclude that psychologistsA.study physical diseases as wellB.deal with animals more often than with peopleC.are not medical,doctorsD.are interested in things that make you sad29.Pavlov worked withA.peopleB.dogsC.mental illnessD.abnormal behavior30.The cerebrum controlsA.the mindB.the bodyC.the whole brainD.the field of psychologyPassage 3What do you do with your empty cans and bottles? There are two choices,throwing them away or recycling.Throwing away a metal beverage container wastes as much energy as filling a can with gasoline and pouring half out.Besides wasting energy,throwing away bottles a11d cans causes pollution,increases the volume of solid wastes,and uses up natural resources. To control these problems,only nine states have adopted bottle laws.The United States governrnent should require every state to have a bottle law or constitute a national bottle law·To understand how a bottle law can help,you must know how it works. When consumers buy canned or bottled beverages at the store,they pay deposits.This deposit can range from twenty to fifty cents per bottle or can.In order to get this deposit back, the bottles and cans must be returned to supermarkets after they are emptied.The supermarkets then return the bottles and cans to their manufacturers for either reuse or recycling.。
