A：whatB：whileC：thatD：when正确答案：DDirections: There are five reading passages in this part. Each passage is followed by four questions. For each question there are four suggested answers marked A, B, C and D. Choose one best answer.Passage OneBefore the conference began, a Japanese businessman was introduced to an American businessman at the lounge. The Japanese man, arms extending downwards from his shoulders, bowed from his waist toward the American businessman to whom he was just introduced. His eyes were directed ahead his face showed no particular expression.The American businessman stood straight. His eyes focused on the Japanese man’s eyes. He smiled and put out his right hand.Both men smiled briefly in embarrassment. The Japanese man straightened up and put out his right hand. The American withdrew his hand and bowed his head. A broader smile of embarrassment, and some noise from each man——not really words, just some sounds from their throats——indicating discomfort. They were in the course of a conflict of customs: they had different habits for greeting people they were being introduced to.When people are planning to go to another country, they expect to encounter certain kinds of differences. They usually expect the weather and the food to be different. They expect to find differences in some of the material aspects of life, such as the availability of cars, electricity, and home heating systems. And, without knowing the details, they expect differences in customs. Customs are the behaviors that are generally expected in specific situations. American men, for example, shake hands with each other when first introduced while Japanese men bow.36.【单选题】When introduced to a Japanese businessman, the American businessman put out his right hand because .A：he felt a little bit nervousB：he wanted to express his discomfortC：he felt a little offended by the Japanese manD：he wanted to shake hands with the Japanese man正确答案：D37.【单选题】The two businessmen behaved different because .A：They followed their own greeting customsB：they were not used to the strange atmosphereC：they couldn’t speak each other’s languageD：They had never met each other before正确答案：A38.【单选题】Paragraph 4 tell us that when visiting a foreign country, .A：it is very uncommon for one to encounter embarrassing situationsB：it is hard for one to adapt to the material aspects of life thereC：people often expect to meet differences in customsD：people expect the same kind of food and weather正确答案：C39.【单选题】This passage is mainly about .A：cultural invasionB：the understanding of customsC：business talksD：differences in handshakes正确答案：BPassage ThreePeople joke that no one in Los Angeles reads; everyone watches TV, rents videos, or goes to the movies. The most popular reading material is comic books, movie magazines, and TV guides. City libraries have only 10 percent of the traffic that car washes have. But how do you explain this? An annual book festival in west Los Angeles is flourishing year after year. People wait half an hour for a parking space to become available.This outdoor festival, sponsored by a newspaper, occurs every April for one weekend. This year’s attendance was estimated at 70,000 on Saturday and 75,000 on Sunday. The festival consisted of 280 exhibitors. There were about 90 talks given by authors, with an audience question-and answer period following each talk. Autograph(亲笔签名) seekers sought out more than 150 authors. A food court sold all kinds of popular food and diverse foreign food, from American hamburgers to Hawaiian shave ice drinks. Except for a $ 7 parking fee, the festival was free. Even so, some people avoided the food court prices by staying away and having their own sandwichesand drinks.People came from all over California. One couple drove down from San Francisco. “This is our sixth year here now. We love it,” said the husband. “It’s just fantastic to be in the great outdoors, to be among so many books and authors, and to get some very good deals, too.”The idea for the festival occurred years ago, but nobody knew if it would succeed. Although book festivals were already popular in other US cities, would Los Angles residents welcome one?” “The citizens of the city are very unpredictable,” said one of the festival founders.40.【单选题】The underlined sentence in the first paragraph implies that .A：city libraries have a very limited number of readersB：only a small proportion of the readers go to libraries by carC：city libraries provide fewer places for car washesD：city libraries have fewer parking places正确答案：A41.【单选题】The outdoor book festival attracts .A：autograph seekers and authors onlyB：people with different interestsC：people who love Los AngelesD：people who like cooking正确答案：B42.【单选题】At the very beginning, people were about the idea for the book festival in Los Angeles.A：confidentB：pessimisticC：uncertainD：indifferent正确答案：C43.【单选题】The success of Los Angeles book festival shows that .A：book reading is still popular in Los AngelesB：Los Angeles people prefer library to book festivalC：people attend the book festivals for fun not for readingD：libraries should have food courts to attract more readers正确答案：APassage TwoMr. Leonard, the principal of the Bedford Academy High School in Bedford-Stuyvesant, Brooklyn, is a man of many solutions, many of them creative, many of them, apparently, also effective. In New York City, only about 50 percent of students manage to graduate in four years. At Bedford Academy, 63 percent of the students qualify for free lunch, a majority of which are being raised by a single mother and another significant number are being raised by someone other than a parent. Yet close to 95 percent of students graduate, and actually every one of those goes on to college.Mr. Leonard does not achieve those results by admitting only high-testing students into his school. Of the students arriving with lower test scores, Mr. Leonard says that he is not looking for the students with the highest grades, or even the best behavior. He’s looking for the one who understand his basic mission of discipline and respect, and are willing to devote themselves to his regular training course.The Bedford Academy High School is famous for its autonomy. For Mr. Leonard, autonomy means insisting that all entering students spend their Saturday mornings in preparatory classes the summer before they enroll. Autonomy also means an automatic weeklong suspension for any students who “disrespects a female,” said Mr. Leonard. It means requiring struggling students, in the weeks before the Regents exams, to attend studying sessions on Saturday from 9 a.m. until 9 p.m.It means the most senior, experienced teachers, including Mr. Leonard, teach not the school’s academic jewels, but the most struggling students.And autonomy also means the school’s teachers administer almost no homework. Instead they emphasize after-school tutoring where the teachers can keep a better eye on whether the student is actually grasping the material.44.【单选题】In Mr. Leonard’s school, most of the students who don’t have to pay for lunch .A：are adopted childrenB：are parentlessC：are homelessD：have a single parent正确答案：D45.【单选题】What can be a good indication of the Bedford School’s success?A：63 percent of its students go on to college.B：A high percentage of students enjoy free lunch.C：All the graduates from the school go on to college.D：The number of its graduates is twice that of New York High School 正确答案：C46.【单选题】What does Mr. Leonard expect from those low-testing students?A：The highest scoresB：The best behaviorC：Respectfulness and disciplineD：Willingness to learn by themselves正确答案：C47.【单选题】The school insists that students should .A：leave the school if they fail to respect a womanB：attend the preparatory classes in the summer before enrollingC：do their homework to review what they have learnedD：come to the school on Sundays正确答案：BPassage FourHave you ever been afraid to talk back when you were treated unfairly?Have you ever bought something just because the salesman talked you into it? Are you afraid to ask someone for a date?Many people are afraid to assert themselves(坚持己见). Dr. Robert Alberti, author of Stand up, Speak Out, and Talk Back, thinks it’s because of their lack of confidence. “Our structure of organization tends to make people distrust themselves,” says Alberti, “There’s always a ‘superior’ around---a parent, a teacher, a boss---who ‘knows better’. These ‘superiors’ often gain when they keep breaking at your self-image.”But Alberti and other scientists are doing something to help people assert themselves. They offer “assertiveness training” courses---AT for short. In the AT course people learn that they have a right to be themselves. They learn to speak out and feel good about doing so. They learn to be aggressive without hurting people.In one way, learning to speak out is to overcome fear. A group taking an AT course will help the shy person to lose his fear. But AT uses an even stronger motive---the need to share. The shy person speaks out in the group because he wants to tell how he feels.Whether or not you speak up for yourself depends on your self-image. If someone you face is more “important” than you, you may feel less of a person. You start to doubt your own good sense. You go by the other person’s label. But, why should you? AT says you can get to feel good about yourself. And once you do, you can learn to speak out.48.【单选题】People are reluctant to talk back because .A：they have a poor self-imageB：they have not received AT coursesC：they have not grasped communication skillsD：they are not generous enough to share things正确答案：A49.【单选题】According to Dr. Alberti, our organization is constructed to .A：get people to trust their own solutions to problemsB：keep people as knowledgeable as their ‘superiors’C：train people’s capacity to speak up for their rightsD：make things more favorable for ‘superiors’正确答案：D50.【单选题】One of the objectives of AT courses is to .A：train people to trust othersB：encourage people to share their thoughtsC：tell people of their right to be ‘superiors’D：help people overcome their fear of asserting themselves正确答案：D51.【单选题】Which of the following would be the best title of this passage?A：Protect YourselfB：Try to Speak OutC：Share Your OpinionD：Face Your Superior正确答案：BPassage FiveA wind tunnel is used for testing planes or plane models. In a wind tunnel air is blown over a plane or a model placed in a test section. Wind tunnel test sections are different in size depending on airflow speed requirements. Some low-speed tunnels have test sections large enough for a complete smart plane. In the very high speed tunnels used for space testing, however, the model may be as small as a pencil.There are two ways of feeding air to the test section. In the constant flow tunnel, airflow produced by electric fans is forced through the tunnel to the test section, then through another tunnel section back to the starting point for reuse. The other way involves storing high-pressure air in a box, sending it out by a controlling device to pass through the tunnel and test section into another box. This way is usually used for a very short period of high-speed airflow.Wind tunnels are usually used to test planes before they are flown. Problems in a plane can be found when it meets the high-speed airflow in the tunnel. For example, if the wings are built so that they would weaken at high speed, this fact can be discovered in the tunnel, thus saving many lives and millions of dollars.In a wind tunnel, scientists also find out how different planes will act at different speeds. They find out such things as how the air dives by the wing surfaces, how slowly a plane can before it starts to drop and how fast it can climb.52.【单选题】Some wind tunnel sections are larger than others becauseA：they are used for large planesB：they can produce a stronger windC：they are built to conduct a high-speed testD：the air in them flows at a lower speed正确答案：D53.【单选题】The underlined words “this fact” in Paragraph 3 refer to the fact that .A：it costs a lot to test a planeB：the wings are not good enoughC：some problems are found with a planeD：the wings meet the high-speed air flow in the tunnel正确答案：B54.【单选题】As mentioned in the last paragraph, a wind tunnel can be used to find out .A：how fast a plane can riseB：how smooth a plane’s surface isC：how a plane lands in a strong windD：how a plane drop at a low height正确答案：A55.【单选题】What can we learn from the passage?A：It is very expensive to build a wind tunnelB：Wind tunnels are very essential in testing planesC：Scientists still have a lot to learn about wind tunnelsD：There are new ways to feed air to the test section正确答案：BA.

The plain truth is that jogging is a cheap. quick and efficient way to maintain physical fitness.2......If these systems are fit, the body is ready for almost any sport and for almost any sudden demand made by work or emergencies,One can train more specially,as by developing strength for weight lifting or the ability to run straight ahead for short distances with great power as in football, but jogging trains your heart and lungs to deliver oxygen more efficiently to all parts of your body. It is worth noting that this sort of exercise is the only kind that can reduce heart disease, the number one cause of death in America.3...... Physicians advise beginning joggers not to run in a tennis or gym shoe. Many design advances have been made in only the last several years that make an excellent running shoe necessary if a runner wishes to develop as quickly as possible, with as ltle chance of injury as possible. A wise investment in good shoes will prevent blisters and the foot, ankle and knee injuries and will also enable the wearer to run on paved or surfaces.No other special equipment is needed,4........ Many joggers wear expensive warm-up suits,but just as many wear last year's clothes.5......The American jogging Association has a twelve-week program designed to move from a fifeen-minute walk (which almost anyone can manage who is in reasonable health) to a thirty-minute run.A measure of common sense, a physical examination,and a planned schedule are all it takes.A.We all like jogging.B.The most usefu1 sort of exercise is one that develops the heart,lungs and circulatory systems|(2)C.It takes surprisingly lttle time to develop the ability to run. (5)D.Jogging, running slowly for long distance, has become the most popular individual sport in America. (1)E.You can jog in any clothing you desire, even your street clothes.

Each generation of artists has shown theirunderstanding of reality in one form or another.The impressionists saw re-ality in briefemotional effects, the realists in everyday subjects and in forest scenes, and theCro-Magnon cave people in their naturalistic drawings of the animals in theancient for-ests.To sum up, understanding reality is anecessary struggle for artists of all periods.Over thousands of years thefunction of the arts has remained relatively constant.Past or present, Eastern orWestern, the arts are a basic part of our immediate experi-ence.Many and different are the facesof art, and together they express the basic need and hope of human beings.11.The underlined word "poetry"most probably means__________.A.an object for artistic creationB.a collection of poemsC.an unusual qualityD.a natural scene答案：C12.Leslie's paintings areextraordinary because __________.A.they are close in style to works in ancienttimesB.they look like works by 19th-century paintersC.they draw attention to common things in lifeD.they depend heavily on color photography答案：C13.What is the author's opinion ofartistic reality?A.It will not be found in future works of art.B.It does not have a long-lasting standard.C.It is expressed in a fixed artistic form.D.It is lacking in modern works of art.答案：B14.What does the author suggestabout the arts in the last paragraph?A.They express people's curiosity about the past.B.They make people interested in everydayexperience.C.They are considered important for variety inform.D.They are regarded as a mirror of the humansituation.答案：D15.Which of the following is themain topic of the passage?A.History of the arts.B.Basic questions of the arts.C.New developments in the arts.e of modern technology in the arts.答案：BThere are two types of peoplein the world.Although they have equal degree of health and wealth and othercomforts of life, one becomes happy and the other becomes unhap-py.This arises from the different ways in which they considerthings,persons, events and the resulting effects upon their minds.People who are to be happy fixtheir attention on the convenience of things: the pleas-ant parts ofconversation, the well prepared dishes, the goodness of the wine and the fine weather.They enjoy all the cheerfulthings.Those who are to be unhappy think and speak onlyof the opposite things.Therefore, they are continuallydissatisfied.By their remarks,they sour the pleasureof society, hurt many people, and make themselves disagreeable everywhere.If this turn of mind was founded in nature, such unhappy personswould be the more to be pitied.The intention ofcriticizing (批评) and being disliked is perhaps taken upby imitation (模仿).It growsinto a habit, unknown to its possessors.The habit maybe strong, but it may be cured when those who have it realize its bad effectson their interests and tastes.I hope this littlewarning may be of service to them, and help them change this habit.Although in fact it is chieflyan act of the imagination, it has serious results in life since it brings ondeep sorrow and bad luck.Those people offend many others; nobody loves them, and no one treats them with more than the mostcommon politeness and re-spect.This frequently putsthem in bad temper and draws them into arguments.Ifthey aim at getting some advantages in social position or fortune, nobodywishes them success.Nor will anyone start a step orspeak a word to favor their hopes.If they bring onthemselves public objections, no one will defend or excuse them, and many willjoin to criticize their wrongdoings.These peopleshould change this bad habit and be pleased with what is pleas-ing, withoutworrying needlessly about themselves and others.Ifthey do not, it will be good for others to avoid any contact (接触) withthem.Otherwise, it can bedisagreeable and sometimes very inconvenient, especially when one becomes mixedup in their quarrels.16.People who are unhappy __________.A.always consider things differently from othersually are affected by the results of certainthingsually misunderstand what others think or sayD.always discover the unpleasant side of certainthings答案：D17.The phrase "sour thepleasure of society" in Paragraph 2 most nearly means“__________”.A.have a good taste with social lifeB.make others unhappyC.tend to scold others openlyD.enjoy the pleasure of life答案：B18.We can conclude from the passagethat __________.A.we should pity all such unhappy peopleB.such unhappy people are dangerous to sociallifeC.people can get rid of the habit of unhappinessD.unhappy people can not understand happy persons答案：C19.If such unhappy persons insist onkeeping the habit, the author suggests that peo-ple should__________.A.prevent any communication with themB.show no respect and politeness to themC.persuade them to recognize the bad effectsD.quarrel with them until they realize themistakes答案：A20.In this passage, the writermainly __________.A.describes two types of peopleughs at the unhappy peopleC.suggests the unhappy people should get rid ofthe habits of unhappinessD.tells people how to be happy in life答案：C。

changes over the years.C.She is ll.5 inches tall.D.She has managed to keep up with fashion.答案: AThe greatest recent social changes have been in the lives of women.During the twentieth century there has been a remarkable shortening of the proportion of a woman 's life spent in caring for the children.A woman’marrying at the end of the nineteenth century would probably have been in her middle twenties, and would be likely to have seven or eight children, of whom four or five lived tiU they were five years old.By the time the youngest was fifteen, the mother would have been in her early fifties and would expect.to live a further twenty years, during which custom, opportunity and health made it unusual for her to get paid work.Today women marry younger and have fewer ually a woman 's youngest child will be fifteen when she is forty-five years old and is likely to take paid work until retirement at sixty.Even while she has the care of children, her work is lightened by household appliances and convenience foods.This important change in woman 's life-pattern has only recendy begun to have its full effect on women’s economic position.Even a few years ago most girls left school at the first opportunity, and most of them took a full time job.However, when they married, they usually left work at once and never returned to it.Today the school leaving age is sixteen, many girls stay at school after that age, and though women tend to marry younger, more married women stay at work at least until shortly before their first child is born.Very many more afterwards retum to full or part-time work.Such changes have led to a new relationship in marriage, with the husband accepting a greater share of the duties and satisfactions of family life, aid with both husband and wife sharing more equally in providing the money, and running the home, according to the abilities and interests of each of them.第21题 According to the passage, it is now quite usual for women to_____ .A.stay at home after leaving schoolB.marry men younger than themselvesC.start work until retirement at 60D.marry while still at school答案: C第22题 We are told that in an average family about 1900_____ .A.many children died before they were five years oldB.seven or eight children lived to be more than five years oldC.the youngest child would be fifteen years oldD.four or five children died when they were five years old答案: D第23题 Many g！rls, the passage claims, are now likely to_____ .A.give up their jobs for good after they are marriedB.leave school as soon as they canC.marry so that they can get a jobD.continue working until they are going to have a baby答案: D第24题 One reason why the woman of today takes a job is that she_____ .A.is younger when her children are old enough to look after

looking after the childrenB.help his wife by doing most of the houseworkC.feel dissatisfied with role in the familyD.take a part.time job so that he can help in the home答案: ALast December 's earthquakes in the Iranian city of Bam took a huge death toll —roughly 40, 000 people——largely because of the collapse of thousands of mud —brick buildings.If a group of researchers in India are successful, the next earthquake might not be as destructive.British and Indian engineers are developing earthquake—proof housing using a cheap, universal material: bamboo.Thev designed a model house built around waterproof bamboo-sheet roofing and bamboo-reinforced concrete walls.To test the structure, the engineers, sponsored by the U.K.Depart-ment of qnternational Development, took it to the Earthquake Engineering and Vibration Re-search Centre in Bangalore, which has astate.of-the-art earthquake simulator（模拟装置）. The researchers shook the house with five successive 30-second pulses, being equal to 7.8 on the Richter（里氏）scale.The simulation was more than 10 times as violent as the Bam earth-quake.yet the house emerged undamaged."We didn 't even crack the paint, ”says engineer Paul Follett.of Britain’s Timber Research and Development Association.By some estimates, more than a binion people already live in bamboo structures.The innovation lies in developing ways to exploit bamboo 'S spring.Easily pre-built, fire resistant, and far lighter than steel, bamboo.based structures could be assembled in three weeks and last 50 vears.At five dollars a square foot, they would last roughly half as much as brick-and-block constructions.Follett says the project will follow an"open source”model: "Whatever is developed is freely available for the common good.”第26题 Thousands of people died in the Bam earthquake mainly because_____ .A.the earthquake occurred in the cold DecemberB.many mud.brick houses collapsedC.the earthquake reached 7.8 0n the Richter scaleD.bamboo houses hadn 't been built yet答案: B第27题 The phrase"a universal material”（Line 5, Paragraph l）refers to a material that can be found_____ .A.everywhere in IndialB.in the universeC.in a universityD.in a unique place答案: A第28题 What was the result of the test?A.The shake lasted 1 50 seconds.B.The simulation was over 10 times as violent.C.The paint was cracked.D.The model remained undamaged.答案: D第29题 The researchers have been working hard toA.reduce the damage by earthquakesB.explore the functions of bambooC.build bamboo houses for a billion peopleD.design bamboo house models答案: D第30题 Which of the following are the advantages of bamboos in building houses?Ⅰ、Cheap to get.

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 center.Passage 1People often say that the Englishman’s home is his castle. They mean that the home is very important and personal to him. Most people in Britain live in houses rather than flats, and many people own their homes. This means that they can make them personal; they can paint them, and change them in any way they like. Most houses have a garden, even if it is a very small one, and the garden is usually loved. The house and the garden are the private space of the individual.People usually like to mark their space. Are you sitting now in your home or on a train? Have you marked the space around yourself as yours? If you are on the train you may put your coat or small bag on the seat beside you. If you share a flat, you may have one corner or chair which is your own.Once I was traveling on a train to London. I was in a section for four people and there was a table between us. The man on the space on my side of the table at all. I was angry. Maybe he thought that he owned the whole table. I had read a book about non-verbal communication, so I took various papers out of my bag and put them on his briefcase! When I did this he stiffened and his eyes nearly popped out of his head. I had invaded his space! A few minutes later I took my papers off his case in order to read them. He immediately moved his case to his side of the table. Of course, it is possible that he just wanted to be helpful to me!If you are visiting anot her country, you may feel that you don’t have any private space. Hotel rooms look much the same in every country in the world. All day long, you share public spaces with other people. You see the local people in their private spaces and you feel lonely and “outside”. Local people can create their private spaces by talking about things you don’t know about. And you even feel that they like you to be outside them so that they will enjoy being inside even more! This is one of the difficulties of being a traveler! But if you understand it then it helps you. Haven’t you enjoyed being part of a group and “owning” a bit of space?21.The writer was angry as he was travelling on a train to London because_____.A.he had no place to sitB. someone had invaded his “space”C.too many people shared a section with himD.some other people talked about things he didn’t know about22.“… you feel lonely and ‘outside’ “in paragraph 4 means that_____.A. you are alone outside the house B, you feel lonely because you travel on your ownC. you are alone and therefore you go outside to have some funD. you feel lonely and you don’t belong to that place or that group of people23.In Paragraph 4 , the pronoun “them’ refers to（所指）“_____”.A.public spacesB. private spacesC. local peopleD. other countries24.Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?A. British people dislike marking their space.B. You always feel at home in another country.C. Most British people prefer living in houses to flats.D．You can’t m ark your private space in a foreign country.25.The main purpose of the passage is to tell readers to _____.A.own private spaces by living in housesB. have one corner of their own in public placesC. realize the importance of “space” in communicationD. create their private spaces by talking with local peoplePassage 2Since its founding in 1948，McDonald’s has grown from a family burger (汉堡包) stand to a global fast-food chain，with more than 30,000 locations in 118 countries.With 58 million daily customers worldwide, McDonald’s is now so ubiquitous around the globe that The Economist publishes a global ranking of currencies’ purchasing power based on the prices charged at the local McDonald’s, called the Big Mac Index (巨无霸指数). That's not to say that every nation carries the same menu items: choices vary widely depending on location. Some Asian locations serve fried shrimp in a Big Mac roll, while McDonald's in India doesn't serve beef at all, relying instead on burgers made from veggies, rice and beans.Not everyone in the world has been happy to greet Ronald McDonald when he moves to town. Many see McDonald’s as a symbol of American economic and cultural chauvinism (沙文主义) , and European nations inparticular have viewed American-style fast food as an insult to their national food. A French farmer, Jose Bove, became something of a national hero in 1999 after he and a group of people destroyed a McDonald's under construction to protest globalization and "bad food." The next year, a bomb detonated in a French McDonald’s, killing a 27-year-old employee. No one claimed responsibility.But regardl ess of whether you like their food or their policies, McDonald’s is still widely seen as one of the true pioneers of peaceful globalization.26.According to the passage, which of the following statements is NOT TRUE?A. McDonald’s was founded in 1948B. McDonald’s has opened its restaurants in every city of the world.C. McDonald’s has over 30,000 locations in the world now.D. McDonald’s was very small in scale in the beginning.27.The word “ubiquitous” in Paragraph 2 is most likely to mean_____.A. very crowdedB. very cleanC. existing everywhereD. occurring frequently28.From Paragraph 2，we can conclude that_____.A. McDonald’s designs its menu to suit the local peopleB. Millions of young adults got their first job with McDonald’sC. The McDonald’s menu sticks to old-fashioned favorites such as the Big MacD. The low prices of McDonald’s bring tens of millions of people through its doors every day29.What did Joes Bove and his people do in 1999 to protest against McDonald’s?A. They organized a strike.B. They protested outside a McDonald’s.C. They refused to go to a newly-built McDonald’s.D. They destroyed a McDonald’s under construction30.In _____, an employee died in a fatal bomb attack on a McDonald’s rest aurant in France.A.1998B. 1999C. 2000D. 2001Passage 3Jim Thorpe was a Native American. He was born in 1888 in an Indian Territory（印第安人保护区）that isnow Oklahoma. Like most Native American children then, he liked to fish, hunt, swim, and play games outdoors. he was healthy and strong, but he had very little formal education. In 1950, Jim Thorpe was named the greatest American football player. He was also an Olympic gold medal winner. But Thorpe had many tragedies in his life.Jim had a twin brother who died when he was nine years old. By the time he was 16, his mother and father were also dead. Jim then went to a special school in Pennsylvania for Native American children. There, he learned to read and write and also began to play sports. Jim was poor, so he left school for two years to earn some money. During this time, he played on a baseball team. The team paid him only $ 15 a week. Soon he returned to school tocomplete his education. Jim was a star athlete (运动员) in several sports, including baseball, running, and football.He won many awards for his athletic ability, mainly for football. In many games, he scored all or most of the points for his team.In 1912，when Jim Thorpe was 24 years old, he became part of the U.S. Olympic team. He competed in two very difficult events: the pentathlon and the decathlon. Both require great ability and strength. The pentathlon has five track and field events，including the long jump and the 1,500-meter race. The decathlon has ten track and field events，with running, jumping ,and throwing contests.People thought it was impossible for an athlete to compete in both the pentathlon and the decathlon. So everyone was surprised when Thorpe won gold medals in both events. When the King of Sweden presented Thorpe with his two gold medals, he said, “Sir, you are the greatest athlete in the world.” Thorpe was a simple and honest man. He just answered, “Thanks, King.”31.From the passage we learn that Jim Thorpe was born in _____.A. IndiaB. PennsylvaniaC. OklahomaD. Sweden32.According to the passage, most American Indian children loved all the following EXCEPTA. fishingB. huntingC. swimmingD. singing33.Jim Thorpe started to play sports _____.A. before he was nine years oldB. when he was 16 years’ oldC. when he was 24 years oldD. before his parents passed away34.The word “decathlon” in Paragraph 3 probably means _____.A. jumpingB. five track and field eventsC. throwingD. ten track and field events35.Which of the following is NOT TRUE?A. In 1912, Thorpe went back to finish his college education.B. Thorpe won two gold medals in the 1912 Olympic Games.C. Thorpe once played on a baseball team for money.D. In 1950, Thorpe was named the greatest American football player.Passage 4It can be really frustrating (使人沮丧的) for an overweight person to go to a gym and work out with a positiveattitude. All one has to do is walk by almost any nice gym and notice all the healthy, sweating, “skinny” members. Sometimes they stare at those of us who are, well, zaftig. It is easy to see the judgment behind their eyes. Who wants to put up with that?Many people are self-conscious of their bodies and feel isolated when joining workout classes or while exercising, especially if they are larger than most of the others in the group. Now the fitness industry is finallypaying attention. Popular gyms are catering（迎合）to overweight and weight conscious customers by dedicatingareas where the “skinny” people are no allowed.There are even gyms or programs that require members to be at least 50 pounds overweight to participate. Trainers recommend functional fitness as a practical goal, rather than six-pack abs（六块腹肌）. They often use textmessages to stay in touch with customers.Often at these specialized gyms, the trainers are overweight themselves, or working on their own weight goals, and this can help those people with anxiety caused by poor body image. The equipment has been designed for useby larger people. Wider seats, more cushioning, no mirrors, and tinted （有色的）windows for privacy, are allimportant changes.Hopefully these types of gyms will successfully grow in numbers in the future. The idea is a very simple and potentially popular one. If it helps those of us who are bigger exercise more and improve our fitness level, it’s a step in the right direction.36.The word zaftig in Paragraph 1 is closest in meaning to _____.A. fatB. healthyC. friendlyD. polite37.We can infer from the first two paragraphs that_____.A. most large gym chains really don’t want member s to show up frequentlyB. overweight people are often frustrated and pushed away by traditional gym industryC. regular gyms don’t accept overweight people to participate in their programsD. overweight people have to pay extra to work out in a gym38.What is the training goal in the gyms catering to overweight members?A. To achieve functional fitness.B. To build six-pack abs.C. To look like a fitness model.D. To be able to run long distances.39.As for the gyms catering to overweight members, which of the following statements is NOT TRUE?A. The machines are designed for larger people.B. Tinted windows are used to ensure extra privacy.C. There are large mirrors on the walls.D. The training goals are more realistic.40.Which of the following is the best title for the passage?A. Improving Women’s Self-confidence through ExercisesB. The Traditional Gym Industry Is Losing Its CustomersC. The Fitness Industry Is Looking for New DirectionsD. Specialized Gyms Designed for Overweight PeoplePart III Cloze (10 points)Knowing why English people always look for an empty compartment and are unwilling to talk to strangers, I thought I was going to have a quiet trip to Scotland.

Did you ever wonder how it is possible for us to recognize people? （51）Even a skilled writer probably could not describe all the features that make one face different from another. Yet a very young child---or even an animal, such as a pigeon-can learn to recognize faces. We all take this ability for granted.We also tell people apart by how they behave. （52）When we talk about someone’s personality（个性）, wemean the ways in which he or she acts, speaks, thinks and feels that make that individual different from others.Like the human face, human personality is very complex. （53）But describing someone’s personality inwords is somewhat easier than describing his face. if you were asked to describe what a “nice face” looked like, you probably would have a difficult time doing so. But if you were asked to describe a “nice person,” you might begin to think about someone who was kind, considerate, friendly, warm, and so forth.There are many words to describe how a person thinks, feels and acts. Gordon all ports, an Americanpsychologist, found nearly 18 000 English words characteri zing differences in people’s behavior. （54）And manyof us use this information as a basis for describing, or typing, his personality.Bookworms, conservatives, military types-people are described with such terms.People have always tried to “type” each other. Actors in early Greek drama wore ma sks to show the audience whether they played the villain’s (坏人) or the hero’s role. In fact, the words “person” and “personality” come from the Latin persona, meaning “mask.” Today, most television and movie actors do not wear masks. （55）But we caneasily tell the “good guys” from the “bad guys” because the two types differ in appearance as well as in actions.Part V Writing (30 points)Directions: For this part, you are allowed 30 minutes to write a composition on the topic: Why do We Work?

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.Passage OneQuestions 11 to 15 are based on the following passage.In the animal kingdom, weakness can bring about aggression in other animal. This sometimes happens with humans also. But I have found that my weakness brings out the kindness in people. I see it every day when people hold doors for me, pour cream into my coffee, or help me to put on my coat. And I have discovered that it makes them happy.From my wheelchair experience, I see the best in people, but sometimes I feel sad because those who appear independent miss the kindness I see daily. They don't get to see this soft side of others. Often, we try every way possible to avoid showing our weakness, which includes a lot of pretending. But only when we stop pretending we're brave or strong do we allow people to show the kindness that's in them.Last month, when I was driving home on a busy highway, I began to feel unwell and drove more slowly than usual. People behind me began to get impatient and angry, with some speeding up alongside me, horning (按喇叭) or even shouting at me. At the moment I decided to do something I had never done in twenty-four years of driving. I put on the car flashlights and drove on at a really low speed.No more angry shouts and no more horns!When I put on my flashlights, I was saying to other drivers, "I have a problem here. I am weak and doing the best I can." And everyone understood. Several times, I saw drivers who wanted to pass. They couldn't get around me because of the stream of passing traffic. But instead of getting impatient and angry, they waited, knowing the driver in front of them was in some way weak.Sometimes situations call for us to act strong and brave even when we don't feel that way. But those are few and far between. More often, it would be better if we don't pretend we feel strong when we feel weak or pretend that we are brave when we are scared.11. The author has discovered that people will feel happy when ______.A) they offer their help B) they receive o thers’ helpC. they feel others’ kindnessD. they show their weakness12. The author feels sad sometimes because ______.A) he has a soft heartB) he relies much on othersC) some people pretend to be kindD) some people fail to see the kindness in others13. What did the other drivers do when they saw the flashlights?A) They speed up to pass. B) They waited with patience.C) They tried their best to help. D) They put on their flashlights too.14. In this passage, the author advises us to ______.A) handle problems by ourselves B) accept help from othersC) admit our weakness D) show our bravery15. Which of the following is the best title for the passage?A) A Wheelchair Experience. B) Weakness and Kindness.C) Weakness and Strength D) A Driving ExperiencePassage TwoQuestions 16 to 20 are based on the following passage.Looking back on my childhood, I am convinced that naturalists are born and not made. Although we were all brought up in the same way, my brothers and sisters soon abandoned their flowers and insects. Unlike them, I had no ear for music and languages. I was not an early reader and I could not do mental arithmetic.Before World War I we spent our summer holidays in Hungary. I have only the dim memory of the house we lived in, of my room and my toys. Nor do I recall clearly the large family of grandparents, aunts, uncles and cousins who gathered next door. But I do have a crystal-clear memory of the dogs, the farm animals, the local birds and, above all the insects.I am a naturalist, not a scientist. I have a strong love of the natural world, and my enthusiasm has led me into varied investigations. I love discussing my favorite topics and enjoy burning the midnight oil while reading about other people’s obse rvations and discoveries. Then something happens that brings these observations together in my conscious mind. Suddenly you fancy you see the answer to the riddle (谜), because it all seems to fit together. This has resulted in my publishing 300 papers and books, which some might honor with the title of scientific research.But curiosity, a keen eye, a good memory and enjoyment of the animal and plant world do not make a scientist: one of the outstanding and essential qualities required is self-discipline, a quality I lack. A scientist requires not only self-discipline but all training, determination and a goal. A scientist, up to a point, can be made. A naturalist is born. If you can combine the two, you get the best of both worlds.16. The first paragraph tells us that the author ________.A) was born to a naturalist’s familyB) lost his hearing when he was a childC) didn’t like his brothers and sistersD) was interested in flowers and insects in his childhood17. The author can’t remember his relatives cle arly because ________.A) he didn’t live very long with them B) he was fully occupied with observing natureC) he was too young when he lived with them D) the family was extremely large18. It can be inferred from the passage that the author was ________.A) no more than a born naturalist B) a naturalist but not a scientistC) a scientist as well as a naturalist D) first of all a scientist19. The author says that he is a naturalist rather than a scientist probably because he thinks he________.A) lacks some of the qualities required of a scientistB) has a great deal of trouble doing mental arithmeticC) just reads about other people’s observations and discoveriesD) comes up with solutions in a most natural way20. According to the author, a born naturalist should first of all be ________.A) full of ambition B) full of enthusiasmC) knowledgeable D) self-disciplinedPassage ThreeQuestions 21 to 25 are based on the following passage.The biggest safety threat facing airlines today may not be a terrorist with a gun, but the man with the portable computer in business class. In the last 15 years, pilots have reported well over 100 incidents that could have been caused by electromagnetic interference. The source of this interference remains unconfirmed, but increasingly, experts are pointing the blame at portable electronic device such as portable computers, radio and cassette players and mobile telephones.RTCA, an organization which advises the aviation (航空) industry, has recommended that all airlines ban (禁止) such devices from being used during “critical” stages of flight, particularly take-off and landing. Some experts have gone further, calling for a total ban during all flights. Currently, rules on using these devices are left up to individual airlines. And although some airlines prohibit passengers from using such equipment during take-off and landing, most are reluctant to enforce a total ban, given that many passengers want to work during flights.The difficulty is predicting how elec tromagnetic fields might affect an aircraft’s computers. Experts know that portable device emit radiation which affects those wavelengths which aircraft use for navigation and communication. But, because they have not been able to reproduce these effects in a laboratory, they have no way of knowing whether the interference might be dangerous or not.The fact that aircraft may be vulnerable (易受损的) to interference raises the risk that terrorists may use radio systems in order to damage navigation equipment. As worrying, though, is the passenger who can’t hear the instructions to turn off his radio because the music’s too loud.21. The passage is mainly about ________.A) a new regulation for all airlines B) the defects of electronic devicesC) a possible cause of aircraft crashes D) effective safety measures for air flight22. What is said about the over 100 aircraft incidents in the past 15 years?A) They may have been caused by the damage to the radio systems.B) They may have taken place during take-off and landing.C) They were proved to have been caused by the passe ngers’ portable computers.D) They were suspected to have resulted from electromagnetic interference.23. Few airlines want to impose a total ban on their passengers using electronic devices because________.A) they don’t believe there is such a danger as radio interferenceB) the harmful effect of electromagnetic interference is yet to be provedC) most passengers refuse to take a plane which bans the use of radio and cassette playersD) they have other effective safety measures to fall back on24. Why is it difficult to predict the possible effects of electromagnetic fields on an airplane’scomputers?A) Because it is extremely dangerous to conduct such research on an airplane.B) Because research scientists have not been able to produce the same effects in labs.C) Because it remains a mystery what wavelengths are liable to be interfered with.D) Because experts lack adequate equipment to do such research.25. It can be inferred from the passage that the author ________.A) hasn’t formed his own opinion on this problemB) has overestimated the danger of electromagnetic interferenceC) is in favor of prohibiting passengers’ use of electronic devices comp letelyD) regards it as unreasonable to exercise a total ban during flightPassage FourQuestions 26 to 30 are based on the following passage.President Coolidge’s statement, “The business of America is business,” still points to an important truth toda y —that business institutions have more prestige (威望) in American society than any other kind of organization, including the government. Why do business institutions posses this great prestige?One reason is that Americans view business as being more firmly based on the ideal of competition than other institutions in society. Since competition is seen as the major source of progress and prosperity by most Americans, competitive business institutions are respected. Competition is not only good in itself, it is the means by which other basic American values such as individual freedom, equality of opportunity, and hard work are protected.Competition protects the freedom of the individual by ensuring that there is no monopoly (垄断) of power. In contrast to one, all-powerful government, many businesses compete against each other for profits. Theoretically, if one business tries to take unfair advantage of its customers, it will lose to competing business which treats its customers more fairly. Where many businesses compete for the customers’ dollar, they cannot afford to treat them like inferiors or slaves.A contrast is often made between business, which is competitive, and government, which is a monopoly. Because business is competitive, many Americans believe that it is more supportive of freedom than government, even though government leaders are elected by the people and business leaders are not. Many Americans believe, then, that competition is as important, or even more important, than democracy in preserving freedom.Competition in business is also believed to strengthen the ideal of equality of opportunity. Competition is seen as an open and fair race where success goes to the swiftest person regardless of his or her social class background. Competitive success is commonly seen as the American alternative to social rank based on family background. Business is therefore viewed as an expression of the idea of equality of opportunity rather than the aristocratic (贵族的) idea of inherited privilege.26. The statement “The business of America is business” probably means “________”.A) The business institutions in America are concerned with commerceB) Business problems are of great importance to the American governmentC) Business is of primary concern to AmericansD) America is a great power in world business27. Americans believe that they can realize their personal values only ________.A) when given equality of opportunity B) through doing businessC) by protecting their individual freedom D) by way of competition28. Who can benefit from business competition?A) Honest businessmen. B) Both businessmen and their customers.C) People with ideals of equality and freedom. D) Both business institutions and government.29. Government is believed to differ strikingly from business in that government is characterized by________.A) its absolute control of power B) its function in preserving personal freedomC) its role in protecting basic American values D) its democratic way of exercising leadership30. It can be inferred from the passage that the author believes ________.A) Americans are more ambitious than people in other countriesB) in many countries success often depends on one’s social statusC) American businesses are more democratic than those in other countriesD) businesses in other countries are not as competitive as those in AmericaPart III Vocabulary and Structure (25 minutes) Directions:There are 25 incomplete sentences in this part.

阅读理解答题练习 Passage 1 People who lived in towns and cities could easily refresh themselves in the hot summers just before the turn of the century. Coca-Cola had been invented in Alaonta the 1980s and it was for sale at thousands of drugstores and candy store soda fountains all over America. But people who lived in the country couldn‘t easily go into town every time they wanted a Coca-cola or flavored soda water. So Joe Tiedemann at Vicksburg，Mississippi，candy store owner，decided soda should be taken out of the cities and into the country，where most Americans lived. He vegan to fill 10 1/2 ounce，wire-stoppered bottles with Coca –Cola，shipping them by wagon and boat to the small towns along the Mississippi River. His business grew quickly：the bottled coke was so popular that biedenharn was forced to move his bottling plant to a larger building. Luonically，the first bottling operation was viewed as a curiosity by the Coca-Cola company. Biedenharn sent then his first two cases，he was politely thanked and then just as politely ignored. １。

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 center.Passage 1People often say that the Englishman’s home is his castle. They mean that the home is very important and personal to him. Most people in Britain live in houses rather than flats, and many people own their homes. This means that they can make them personal; they can paint them, and change them in any way they like. Most houses have a garden, even if it is a very small one, and the garden is usually loved. The house and the garden are the private space of the individual.People usually like to mark their space. Are you sitting now in your home or on a train? Have you marked the space around yourself as yours? If you are on the train you may put your coat or small bag on the seat beside you. If you share a flat, you mayhave one corner or chair which is your own.Once I was traveling on a train to London. I was in a section for four people and there was a table between us. The man on the space on my side of the table at all. I was angry. Maybe he thought that he owned the whole table. I had read a book about non-verbal communication, so I took various papers out of my bag and put them on his briefcase! When I did this he stiffened and his eyes nearly popped out of his head. I had invaded his space! A few minutes later I took my papers off his case in order to read them. He immediately moved his case to his side of the table. Of course, it is possible that he just wanted to be helpful to me!If you are visiting anot her country, you may feel that you don’t have any private space. Hotel rooms look much the same in every country in the world. All day long, you share public spaces with other people. You see the local people in their private spaces and you feel lonely and “outside”. Local people can create their private spaces by talking about th ings you don’t know about. And you even feel that they like you to be outside them so that they will enjoy being inside even more! This is one of the difficulties of being a traveler! But if you understand it then it helps you. Haven’t you enjoyed being pa rt of a group and “owning” a bit of space?21.The writer was angry as he was travelling on a train to London because_____.A.he had no place to sitB. someone had invaded his “space”C.too many people shared a section with himD.some other people talked ab out things he didn’t know about22.“… you feel lonely and ‘outside’ “in paragraph 4 means that_____.A. you are alone outside the house B, you feel lonely because you travel on your ownC. you are alone and therefore you go outside to have some funD. you feel lonely and you don’t belong to that place or that group of people23.In Paragraph 4 , the pronoun “them’ refers to（所指）“_____”.A.public spacesB. private spacesC. local peopleD. other countries24.Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?A. British people dislike marking their space.B. You always feel at home in another country.C. Most British people prefer living in houses to flats.D．You can’t m ark your private space in a foreign country.25.The main purpose of the passage is to tell readers to _____.A.own private spaces by living in housesB. have one corner of their own in public placesC. realize the importance of “space” in communicationD. create their private spaces by talking with local peoplePassage 2Since its founding in 1948，McDonald’s has grown from a family burger (汉堡包) stand to a global fast-food chain，with more than 30,000 locations in 118 countries.With 58 million daily customers worldwide, McDonald’s is now so ubiquitous around the globe that The Economistpubli shes a global ranking of currencies’ purchasing power based on the prices charged at the local McDonald’s, called the Big Mac Index (巨无霸指数). That's not to say that every nation carries the same menu items: choices vary widely depending on location. Some Asian locations serve fried shrimp in a Big Mac roll, while McDonald's in India doesn't serve beef at all, relying instead on burgers made from veggies, rice and beans.Not everyone in the world has been happy to greet Ronald McDonald when he moves to town. Many see McDonald’s as a symbol of American economic and cultural chauvinism (沙文主义) , and European nations inparticular have viewed American-style fast food as an insult to their national food. A French farmer, Jose Bove, became something of a national hero in 1999 after he and a group of people destroyed a McDonald's under construction to protest globalization and "bad food." The next year, a bomb detonated in a French McDonald’s, killing a 27-year-old employee. No one claimed responsibility.But regardl ess of whether you like their food or their policies, McDonald’s is still widely seen as one of the true pioneers of peaceful globalization.26.According to the passage, which of the following statements is NOT TRUE?A. McDonald’s was founded in 1948B. Mc Donald’s has opened its restaurants in every city of the world.C. McDonald’s has over 30,000 locations in the world now.D. McDonald’s was very small in scale in the beginning.27.The word “ubiquitous” in Paragraph 2 is most likely to mean_____.A. very crowdedB. very cleanC. existing everywhereD. occurring frequently28.From Paragraph 2，we can conclude that_____.A. McDonald’s designs its menu to suit the local peopleB. Millions of young adults got their first job with McDonald’sC. The McDonald’s me nu sticks to old-fashioned favorites such as the Big MacD. The low prices of McDonald’s bring tens of millions of people through its doors every day29.What did Joes Bove and his people do in 1999 to protest against McDonald’s?A. They organized a strike.B. They protested outside a McDonald’s.C. They refused to go to a newly-built McDonald’s.D. They destroyed a McDonald’s under construction30.In _____, an employee died in a fatal bomb attack on a McDonald’s rest aurant in France.A.1998B. 1999C. 2000D. 2001Passage 3Jim Thorpe was a Native American. He was born in 1888 in an Indian Territory（印第安人保护区）that isnow Oklahoma. Like most Native American children then, he liked to fish, hunt, swim, and play games outdoors. he was healthy and strong, but he had very little formal education. In1950, Jim Thorpe was named the greatest American football player. He was also an Olympic gold medal winner. But Thorpe had many tragedies in his life.Jim had a twin brother who died when he was nine years old. By the time he was 16, his mother and father were also dead. Jim then went to a special school in Pennsylvania for Native American children. There, he learned to read and write and also began to play sports. Jim was poor, so he left school for two years to earn some money. During this time, he played on a baseball team. The team paid him only $ 15 a week. Soon he returned to school to complete his education. Jim was a star athlete (运动员) in several sports, including baseball, running, and football.He won many awards for his athletic ability, mainly for football. In many games, he scored all or most of the points for his team.In 1912，when Jim Thorpe was 24 years old, he became part of the U.S. Olympic team. He competed in two very difficult events: the pentathlon and the decathlon. Both require great ability and strength. The pentathlon has five track and field events，including the long jump and the 1,500-meter race. The decathlon has ten track and field events，with running, jumping ,and throwing contests.People thought it was impossible for an athlete to compete in both the pentathlon and the decathlon. So everyone was surprised when Thorpe won gold medals in both events. When the King of Sweden presented Thorpe with his two gold medals, he said, “Sir, you are the greatest athlete in the world.” Thorpe was a simple and honest man. He just answered, “Thanks, King.”31.From the passage we learn that Jim Thorpe was born in _____.A. IndiaB. PennsylvaniaC. OklahomaD. Sweden32.According to the passage, most American Indian children loved all the following EXCEPTA. fishingB. huntingC. swimmingD. singing33.Jim Thorpe started to play sports _____.A. before he was nine years oldB. when he was 16 years’ oldC. when he was 24 years oldD. before his parents passed away34.The word “decathlon” in Paragraph 3 probably means _____.A. jumpingB. five track and field eventsC. throwingD. ten track and field events35.Which of the following is NOT TRUE?A. In 1912, Thorpe went back to finish his college education.B. Thorpe won two gold medals in the 1912 Olympic Games.C. Thorpe once played on a baseball team for money.D. In 1950, Thorpe was named the greatest American football player.Passage 4It can be really frustrating (使人沮丧的) for an overweight person to go to a gym and work out with a positiveattitude. All one has to do is walk by almost any nice gym and notice all the healthy, sweating, “skinny” members. Sometimes they stare at those of us who are, well, zaftig. It is easy to see the judgment behind their eyes. Who wants to put up with that?Many people are self-conscious of their bodies and feel isolated when joining workout classes or while exercising, especially if they are larger than most of the others in the group. Now the fitness industry is finallypaying attention. Popular gyms are catering（迎合）to overweight and weight conscious customers by dedicating areas where the “skinny” people are no allowed.There are even gyms or programs that require members to be at least 50 pounds overweight to participate. Trainers recommend functional fitness as a practical goal, rather than six-pack abs（六块腹肌）. They often use textmessages to stay in touch with customers.Often at these specialized gyms, the trainers are overweight themselves, or working on their own weight goals, and this can help those people with anxiety caused by poor body image. The equipment has been designed for useby larger people. Wider seats, more cushioning, no mirrors, and tinted （有色的）windows for privacy, are allimportant changes.Hopefully these types of gyms will successfully grow in numbers in the future. The idea is a very simple and potentially popular one. If it helps those of us who are bigger exercise more and improve our fitness level, it’s a step in the right direction.36.The word zaftig in Paragraph 1 is closest in meaning to _____.A. fatB. healthyC. friendlyD. polite37.We can infer from the first two paragraphs that_____.A. most large gym chains really don’t want member s to show up frequentlyB. overweight people are often frustrated and pushed away by traditional gym industryC. regular gyms don’t accept overweight people to participate in their programsD. overweight people have to pay extra to work out in a gym38.What is the training goal in the gyms catering to overweight members?A. To achieve functional fitness.B. To build six-pack abs.C. To look like a fitness model.D. To be able to run long distances.39.As for the gyms catering to overweight members, which of the following statements is NOT TRUE?A. The machines are designed for larger people.B. Tinted windows are used to ensure extra privacy.C. There are large mirrors on the walls.D. The training goals are more realistic.40.Which of the following is the best title for the passage?A. Improving Women’s Self-confidence through ExercisesB. The Traditional Gym Industry Is Losing Its CustomersC. The Fitness Industry Is Looking for New DirectionsD. Specialized Gyms Designed for Overweight PeoplePart III Cloze (10 points)Knowing why English people always look for an empty compartment and are unwilling to talk to strangers, I thought I was going to have a quiet trip to Scotland.

Did you ever wonder how it is possible for us to recognize people? （51）Even a skilled writer probably could not describe all thefeatures that make one face different from another. Yet a very young child---or even an animal, such as a pigeon-can learn to recognize faces. We all take this ability for granted.We also tell people apart by how they behave. （52）When we talk about someone’s personality（个性）, wemean the ways in which he or she acts, speaks, thinks and feels that make that individual different from others.Like the human face, human personality is very complex. （53）But describing someone’s personality inwords is somewhat easier than describing his face. if you were asked to describe what a “nice face” looked like, you probably would have a difficult time doing so. But if you were asked to describe a “nice person,” you might begin to think about someone who was kind, considerate, friendly, warm, and so forth.There are many words to describe how a person thinks, feels and acts. Gordon all ports, an Americanpsychologist, found nearly 18 000 English words characteri zing differences in people’s behavior. （54）And many of us use this information as a basis for describing, or typing, his personality.Bookworms, conservatives, military types-people are described with such terms.People have always tried to “type” each other. Actors in early Greek drama wore ma sks to show the audience whether they played the villai n’s (坏人) or the hero’s role. In fact, the words “person” and “personality” come from the Latin persona, meaning “mask.” Today, most television and movie actors do not wear masks. （55）But we caneasily tell the “good guys” from the “bad guys” because the two types differ in appearance as well as in actions.Part V Writing (30 points)Directions: For this part, you are allowed 30 minutes to write a composition on the topic: Why do We Work?

Each passage is followed by some questions or unfinished statements. For each o f them there are four choices marked A , B»C and D. You are required to decide on the choice that best answers the question or completes the statement.Passage 1Questions 21 to 25 are based on the following passage.Engineering students are supposed to be examples of practicality and rationality, but when it comes to my college education I am an idealist and a fool. In high school I wanted to be an electrical engineer and, of course, any sensible student with my aims would have chosen a college with a large engineering department, famous reputation and lots of good labs and research equipment. But that’s not what I did.I chose to study engineering at a small liberal-arts(文科）university that doesn’t e- ven offer a major in electrical engineering. Obviously, this was not a practical choice；I came here for more noble reasons. I wanted a broad education that would provide me with flexibility and a value system to guide me in my career. I wanted to open my eyes and expand my vision by interacting with people who weren^ studying science or engineering. My parents»teachers and other adults praised me for such a sensible choice. They told me I was wise and mature beyond my 18 years, and I believed them.I headed off to college sure I was going to have an advantage over those students who went to big engineering “factories” where they didn’t care if you have values or were flexible. I was going to be a complete engineer: technical genius and sensitive hu- manist(人文学者）all in one.Now I’m not so sure. Somewhere along the way my noble ideals crashed into reality, as all noble ideals eventually do. After three years of struggling to balance math, physics and engineering courses with liberal-arts courses，I have learned there are rea- sons why few engineering students try to reconcile(协调）engineering with liberal-arts courses in college.The reality that has blocked my path to become the typical successful student is that engineering and the liberal arts simply don’t’mix as easily as I assumed in highschool. Individuali^lthey shape a person in veryt; different? w^ys ； ^together they threaten to confuse. The struggle to reconcile the twcffiellis of study is difficult.21.

Today-；a man is supposed stoiJ-walk on the-outside. A man should walk where he wants so should a woman. If; out of love and respect»he acr ■184tually wants to take the blows* he should walk on the inside — because that^ where attackers are hiding these days.As far as manners are concerned，I suppose I have always been a supporter of women's liberation. Over the years, out of a sense of respect, I imagine, I have refused to trouble women with outdated courtesies.It is usually easier to follow rules of social behavior than to depend on one*s own taste. But rules may be safely broken, of course»by those of us with the gift of natural grace. For example, when a man and woman are led to their table in a restaurant and the waiter pulls out a chair»the woman is expected to sit in the chair. That is according to Ms Ann Clark. I have always done it the other way, according to my wife.It came up only the other night. I followed the hostess to the table, and when she pulled the chair out I sat on it, quite naturally, since it happened to be the chair I wanted to sit in.“Well，” my wife said，when the hostess had gone，“you did it again. ”“Did what?” I asked，utterly confused.“Took the chair. ’’Actually，since I’d walked through the restaurant ahead of my wife，it would have been awkward，I should think，not to have taken the chair. I had got there first，after all.Also, it has always been my custom to get in a car first, and let the woman get in by herself. This is a courtesy I insist on as the stronger sex, out of love and respect. In times like these, there might be attackers hidden about. It would be unsuitable to put a woman in a car and then shut the door on her, leaving her at the mercy of some bad fellow who might be hiding in the back seat.26. It can be concluded from the passage that_____.A. men should walk on the inside of a sidewalkB. women are becoming more capable than beforeC. in women’s liberation men are not liberatedD. it is safe to break the rules of social behavior27. The author “took the chair” because_____.A. he happened to like the seatB. his wife told him toC. the hostess wanted him to sit thereD. he did not know where to sit28. The author always gets in a car before a woman because he_____.A. wants to protect herB. doesn’t need to help herC. chooses to be impolite to herD. fears attacks on himself29. The author is_____the whole question of manners and women’s liberation.185when you are ready to complete the paperwork.31.To get the job you w ant, during the interview you sh o u ld______.A. avoid the interviewer’s questions that are designed to trip you upB. remember that you are the best qualified candidateC. make yourself stand out as the right person for the jobD. keep in mind that it determines whether or not you get the particular jobyou want32.If you did not get along with your former employer, y o u______.A.should tell the interviewer franklyB. should not speak ill of himC. should refer to him in a casual mannerD. should never mention it33.W hen you find the interview is not going well you should _____.-A.keep up your confidenceB. bring it to an end as soon as possibleC. tell your interviewer, how you react to adverse conditions.. ;，D. tell yourself you have much to gain and nothing to lose34.The best time to discuss your salary i s______.A.when you have been offered the jobB. at the end of the interviewC. after you have completed the paperworkD. when the interviewer brings this matter up35. The most important thing to do during an interview i s______.A. to make your strengths understoodB.to show your intense interest in the job you are applying forC. to be frank and,sincereD. to be natural and confidentQuestions 36 to 40 are based on the following passage.Scholars and students have always been great travelers. The official case for “academic mobility” is now often stated in impressive terms as a fundamental necessity for e-conomic and social progress in the world, and debated in the corridors of Europe,.but it is certainly nothing new. Serious students were always ready to go abroad in search of the most stimulating teachers and the most famous academies；in search of the purest philosophy, the most effective medicine, the likeliest road to gold.Mobility of this kind meant also mobility of ideas, their transference across frontiers ,their simultaneous impact upon many groups of people. The point of learning is to share it, whether with students or with colleagues；one presumes that only eccentrics51. A.extend B.endure52. A.authorize B.allow53. A.embarrassed B.optimistic54.

以下是为大家搜索17年学位英语阅读理解模拟练习题，希望对正在关注的您有所帮助!更多精彩内容请及时关注我们!A good modern newspaper is an extraordinary piece of reading. It is remarkable first for what it contains: the range of news from local crime to international politics, from sports to business to fashion to science, and the range of ment and special features(特写)as well, from editorial page to feature article and interviews tocriticism of books, art, theater, and music. A newspaper is even more remarkable for the way one reads it: never pletely, never straight through, but always by jumping from here to there, in and out, glancing at one piece, reading another article all the way through, reading just a few paragraphs of the next. A good modern newspaper offers a variety to attract many different readers, but far more than any one reader is interested in. What bring this variety together in one place is its topicality(时事性),its immediate relation to what is happening in your world and your locality now. But immediacy and the speed of production that goes with it mean also that much of what appears in a newspaper has no more than transient(短暂的)value. For all these reasons, no two people really read the same paper: what each person does is to put togetherout of the pages of that day’s paper, his own selection and sequence, his own newspaper. For all these reasons, reading newspapers efficiently, which means getting what you want from them without missing things you need but without wasting time, demands skill and self-awareness as you modify and apply the techniques of reading.1.

Viewed biologically» the modern footballer is in reality a member of a hunting group. His killingweapon has turned into a harmless football and his prey (猎物）into a goalmouth. If hisaim is accurate and he scores a goal，he enjoys the hunter’s triumph of killing his prey.To understand how this transformation has taken place we must briefly look back atour forefathers. They spent over a million years evolving (进化）as cooperative hunters.Their very survival depended on success in the hunting-field. Under this pressure theirwhole way of life, even their bodies> became greatly changed. They became chasers ，runners, jumpers, aimers* throwers and prey-killers. They cooperated as skillful male-group attackers.Then about ten thousand years ago, after this immensely long period of huntingtheir food, they became farmers. Their improved intelligence» so vital to their old hunting life, was put to a new use — that of controlling and domesticating their prey. Thehunt became suddenly out of date. The food was there on the farms, awaiting theirneeds. The risks and uncertainties of the hunt were no longer essential for survival.The skills and thirst for hunting remained* however, and demanded new outlets.Hunting for sport replaced hunting for necessity. This new activity involved all the original hunting sequences but the aim of the operation was no longer to avoid starvation. Instead the sportsmen set off to test their skill against prey that was no longer essential totheir survival. To be sure, the kill may have been eaten, much simpler ways of obtaining a meaty meal.17121.

He asked the crowd to gather in the auction room to bid (竞价）for the various items on sale. He encourages buyers to bid higher figures, and finally names the highest bidder as the buyer of the goods. This is called ^knocking downw the goods, for the bidding ends when the auctioneer bangs a small hammer on a raised platform.The ancient Romans probably invented sales by auction, and the English word comes from the Latin “auctic”，meaning “increase”. The Romans usually, sold in this way the taken in war —these sales were called “sub hasta’’，meaning “under the spear’’，a spear being stuck in the ground as a signal for a crowd to gather. In England in the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries goods were often sold “by the candle”j a short candle was lit by the auctioneer, and bids could be made while it was burning.Practically all goods can be sold by auction. Among these are coffee, skins, wool, 172tea, cocoa»furs» fruit>vegetables and wines. Auction sales are also usual for land and property, antique furniture, pictures, rare books, old china and works of art. The auction rooms at Christie^ and Sotheby^ in London and New York are world-famous.An auction is usually advertised beforehand with full particulars of the articles to be sold and where and when they can be viewed by the buyers. If the advertisement cannot give full details，catalogues (目录）are printed, and each group of goods to be sold to-gether，called a “lot”，is usually given a number. The auctioneer need not begin with Lot One and continue the numerical order；he may wait until he notices the fact that certain buyers are in the room and then produce the lots they are likely to be interested in. The auctioneer’s services are paid for in the form of a percentage of the price the goods are sold for. The auctioneer therefore has a direct interest in pushing up the bidding.26.

If one considers the enormous variety of courses offered»it is not hard to see how difficult it is to select the course most suited to his interests and abilities. If a student goes to university to acquire a broader perspective of life，to enlarge his ideas and to learn to think for himself, he will undoubtedly benefit, since school often has too restricting an atmosphere* with its timetables and disciplines* to allow him much time for independent assessment of the work heis asked to do. Most students would，I believe，profit by a year or so，s exploration of different academic studies, especially those all-rounders with no particular bent. They should have longer time to decide in what subject they want to take their degree»so thatin later life they do not look back and say, aI should like to have been an archaeologist.If I hadn't taken a degree in Modern Languages»I shouldn't have ended up as an interpreter, but it's too late now. I couldn’t go back and begin all over again, even if I had the chance. wThere is，of course, another side to the question of how to make the best use of one’s time at university. This is the case of the student who excels in a particular branchof learning, is a first-rate mathematician»scientist, linguist and what you have. He is immediately accepted by the university of his choice，and spends his three or four years becoming a specialist , emerging with a first-class Honors Degree and very little knowledge of what the rest of the world is all about. It therefore becomes more and more important that» if students are not to waste their opportunities and，incidentally, the taxpayers’money，there will have to be.much more detailed information about courses，more advice from Career Masters and Course Tutors if WE are not to bring up，on one hand, a band of specialists ignorant of anything outside their own subject, and on the other ♦an ever-increasing number of graduates qualified in subjects for which there is little or no demand in the working world.36.
