Reading Comprehension (50%)Directions: There are 4 passages in this part. 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 write the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet.Questions 41 to 45 are based on the following passage:Passage OnePopulation tends to grow at an exponential(指数的)rate. This means that they progressively double. As an example of this type of growth rate take one penny and double every day for one month. After the first week, you would have only 64 cent, but after the fourth week you would have over a million dollars.This helps explain why the population has come on“all of a sudden”took from he beginning of human 1ife to the year 1830 for the population of the earth to reach one billion. That repents(缓慢进⾏) a time span of at least two million years. Then it took from 1830 to 1930 for world population to reach 2 billion. The next billion was added by 1960 only thirty years and in 1975 world population reached 4 billion whichWorld population is increasing at a rate of 9, 000per hour, 220,000 per day and 80 million per year. This is not only due to higher birth rate, but to lower death rate as well. The number of births has not declined at the same rate as the number of deaths.Some countries such as Columbia, Thailand, Morocco, Costa Rica and the Philippines are doubling their population about every twenty-one years with a growth rate of 3.3 percent a year or more. The United States is doubling its population about very eighty-seven years, with a rate of 0.8 percent per year. （81）Every time a population doubles, the country involved needs twice as much of everything, including hospitals, schools, resources, food and medicines to care for its people. It is easy to see that this is very difficult to achieve for the more rapidly growing countries.41. This passage chiefly discussesA. the growth of world population.B. one type of the exponential rate.C. the population problem of more rapidly growing countries.D. the possible ways of dealing with the rapid population growth.42. According to the passage what helps to explain why the population problem has come on ―all of a sudden‖?A. The penny that doubles itself every day for one month.B. The time span of at 1east two million years in human history.C. An illustration of the exponent growth rate given by the author.D. The large amount of money you would luckily make after the fourth week.43. It took for the world to increase its population from 1 billion to 4 billion.A. 100 yearsB. 175 yearsC. 1975 yearsD. over two million years44. Which of the following statements is NOT true?B. Lower death rate also contributes to world population growth.C. The population of Columbia has been doubling every year for 21 years.D. The United States is usually doubling its population on about every 87 years.45. When a population doubles, the country involved needs twice as much of everything including __.A. hospitals and medicinesB. schools and studentsC. food and manpower resourcesD. all of the aboveQuestions 46 to 50 based on the following passage:Passage TwoWomen are on the whole more verbal than men. They are good at 1anguage and verbal reasoning. while men tend to be skilled at tasks demanding visual-spatial(视空)abilities. In fact, along with aggression these are the most commonly accepted difference between these sexes.Words are tools for communicating with other people especially information about people. They are mainly social tools. Visual and spatial abilities are good for imagining and manipulating objects and for communicating information about them. Are these talents programmed into the brain? In some of the newest and most controversial research in neurophysiology(神经⽣理学), it has been suggested that when it comes to the brain males are specialists while women are generalists.But one knows that, if anything this means in terms of the abilities of the two sexes. Engineering is both Visual and spatial and it’s true that there are relatively few women engineers. But women become just as skilled as men at shooting a rifle or driving a car task that involve visual-spatial skills. They also do equally well at programming a computer, which is neither visual nor spatial. Women do, however, seemextensions of their identity. （82）A woman is more likely to see her car, rifle or computer as a useful tool but not in itself fascinating.46. According to the passage, women are usually good at_____.A. body languageB. logical reasoningC. tasks demanding for the use of wordsD. both A and B47. The word "accepted‖ in the last sentence of the first paragraph, roughly means_____.A. believedB. assumedC. receivedD. reconciled48. In the author’s opinion, visual and spatial abilities are good for______.A. achieving one’s objects.B. mind and body.C. programming talents into the brain.D. imagination and communication.A. imagining and handling objects.B. providing a computer with a set of instructionsC. shooting a gun and driving an automobileD. planning and making things as an engineer does50. Why do women seem less likely to fall in love with the objects themselves?A. Because they have no visual-spatial skills.B. Because they are only good at 1anguage and verbal reasoning.C. Because they are less likely to see their charming or interesting aspects.D. Because they rarely use machines such as cars, rifles, computers, etc.Questions 51 to 55 are based on the following passage:Passage ThreeThe US. government has recently helped people learn more about the dangers of earthquakes by publishing a map. This map shows the chances of an earthquake in each part of the country. （83）The areas of the map where earthquakes are most likely to occur are called earthquake ―belt‖. The government is, spending a great deal money and is working hard to help discover the answer to these two questions: l. Can we predict earthquake? 2. Can we control earthquakes?To answer the first question, scientists are looking very closely at the most active fault(断层)systems in the country such as the San Andreas fault in California, a fault is break between two sections of the earth’s surface. These breaks between sections are the place where earthquake occurs.Scientists look at the faults for changes that might show that an earthquake was about to occurs. But it will probably be many years before we can predict earthquakes accurately. And the control of earthquakes is even farther away.Nevertheless, there have been some interesting developments in the field of controlling earthquakes. The most interesting development concerns the Rocky Mountain Arsenal earthquakes.Here water was put into a layer of rocks 4000 meters below surface of the ground. Shortly after this injection of water, there were a small number of earthquakes. Scientists have decided that the water which was injected into rocks works like oil on each other. When the water“oiled”the fault, the fault became slippery and the energy of an earthquake was released. Scientists are still experimenting at the site of these earthquakes. They have realized that there is a connection between injection of the water and the earthquake activity. They have suggested that might be possible to use this knowledge to prevent very big destructive earthquakes, that is, scientists could inject some kind of fluid like water into faults and change one big earthquake into a number of small, harmless earthquakes.51. Earthquake belts are .B. zones with a high probability of earthquakesC. breaks between two sections of the earth’s surfaceD. the two layers of earth along a fault52. The San Andreas’ fault is .A. an active fault systemB. a place where earthquakes have been predicted accuratelyC. a place where earthquake have been controlledD. the location of the Rocky Mountain53. What did scientists learn about earthquakes at the Rocky Mountain Arsenal？A. They occur at bout 4000 meters below ground levelC. They are usually caused by the oil in the faults.D. Harmful earthquakes can be possibly prevented by causing small harmless earthquake.54. What can be said about the experiments at Rocky Mountain Arsenal?A. They have no practical value in earthquake prevention.B. They may have practical value in earthquake prevention.C. They are certain to have practical value in earthquake prevention.D. he article does not say anything about their practical value in earthquake prevention.55. What is the most appropriate title for the passage?A. Dangers of EarthquakeB. Earthquake Belts and PredictionC. Earthquake Prediction and ControlD. Earthquake Engineering in CaliforniaQuestions 56 to 60 are based on the following passage:Passage FourSporting activities are essentially modified forms of hunting behavior. Viewed biologically, the modern footballer is in reality a member of a hunting group. His killing weapon has turned into a harmless football and his prey into a goalmouth. If his aim 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 at our forefathers. They spent over a million years evolving(进化) as Cooperative hunters. Their very survival depended on success in the hunting field. （84）Under this pressure their whole 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 attack.Then about ten thousand years ago, after this immensely long period of hunting the 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 (驯养) their prey. The hunt became suddenly out of date. The food was there on the farms, awaiting their needs. The risks and uncertainties of the hunt were no longer essential for survival.(85)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(后果), 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 to their survival. To be sure, the kill may have been eaten, but there were other purposes, much simpler of obtaining a meaty meal.A.Hunting is very important in human civilization.B.Sporting activities satisfy the desire of modern society.C.It’s hunting that provides human beings with food.D.The importance of sporting activities in modern society.57. According to the author, sporting activities .A. are essential to the survivalB. have actually developed from huntingC. evolve as biological developmentD. are football games58. For over a million years. our forefathers were basically .B. successful farmersC. runners and jumpersD. cooperating hunters59. The word“operation (Par. 4)refers to .A. sports activitiesB. huntingC. farmersD. prey killing60. Which of the following is true according to the passage?A. The goalmouth is equal to the weapon in hunting.B. Without hunting our forefathers couldn’t live.C. After our forefathers became farmers they still hunted for food.D. Farmers are satisfied with stable lives and they didn’t have enthusiasm for hunting any more得分评卷⼈III. Cloze Test (20分)Directions: There are 20 blanks in the following passage.

Reading Comprehension (50%)Directions: There are 4 passages in this part. 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 write the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet.Questions 41 to 45 are based on the following passage:Passage OneWhat do we talk about when we talk about money? We often think about what we can buy whit the money we have, what we can’t buy because we don’t have enough and what we’re planning to buy when we have more. We discuss the careers that bring us money and the expenses that take it away. We talk about our favorite shops and restaurants, the causes we s upport, the place we’ve been and seen. We share dreams that only money can make real.In short, we talk about everything but money itself. In daily life, money is still a major conversational taboo (禁忌). This is a shame, because money is as interesting as the things it does and buys, and the more you know about it, the more interesting it is.(81) As a financial advisor, I’ve seen hundreds of people learn to control their money instead of letting it control them and watched as they increased their freedom, power and security byhandling money consciously. Wouldn’t you like to know that you’ll always have enough money to live exactly as you want to?You’ll never be powerful in life until you’re powerful over your own money. Talking openly about it is the first step.41. Which of the following is NOT discussed when we talk about money?A. The careers that bring us money.B. The causes we support.C. The dreams that only money can make real.D. Money itself.42. What can we know form from the second paragraph?A. We should know more about money itself rather than avoid talking about it.B. Money itself can interest us and bring us happiness.C. The more money we earn, the more we should know about it.D. It is a shame that people talk too much about money.43. What does the writer want to say in the third paragraph?A. People should learn how to make money.B. People should know the value of money.C. People should learn to control their money.D. People should know how to use money to increase their power.44. The writer’s advice is that .A. the more you talk about money, the more you can control itB. we should learn to be a good master of our money if we want to be powerful in lifeC. we should not be so worried about money if we want to have a free lifeD. the more money you have, the more powerful you are45. What will the writer probably talk about after the last paragraph?A. The importance of money.B. Money, power and security.C. The other steps for people to control moneyD. The steps for people make moneyPassage TwoA question often put to the specialist on fishes is “How long do fishes live?” This puts the specialist in an embarrassing because he is often unable to give a direct answer to this simple question.But actually this question is not as simple as it seems. There are thousands of different kinds of fishes, and they vary a great deal in size and life span. Moreover, it is not easy to find out just how long a fish lives in its natural state.We can find out how old a fish is by studying its scales, but we cannot say how much more time it would live if we had not caught it.We may rear fishes and record their life span but we cannot be sure that this is the length of time they would have lived, had they been left alone.We may make marking to show how fast the fishes grow so that we can calculate the age of the largest on record , but unless this large fish dies of old age we are still not in a position to know its natural life span .(82) Unlike human beings , fishes do not stop growing when they reach maturity (成熟). They continue to grow as long as they live, although the rate of growth slows down in mature fishes.46. People often ask the specialist on fishes regarding its _____.A. sizeB. LifeC. ageD. variety47. The specialist is embarrassed by the question because______.A. he does not know the answerB. there is no answer to the questionC. it is a silly and simple question for himD. there is no definite answer to this question48. We can know a fish’s age from its ________.A. weightB. sizeC. scalesD. length49. Which of the following statements is NOT true?A. Different kinds of fishes have different life spans.B. It is hard for the specialist to know the length of time a fish lives in its natural state.C. Mature fishes grow more quickly than young one.D. The specialist makes marking to know the rate of fishes so that they know the age of the largest ones.50. Human being, unlike fishes, __________.A. stop growing when they reach maturityB. grow faster after maturingC. Continue to grow as long as they liveD. have a short life spanPassage ThreeWe find that bright children are rarely held back by mixed-ability teaching. On the contrary, both their knowledge and experience are enriched. We feel that there are many disadvantages in streaming (把----按能力分班) pupils . It does not take into account the fact that children develop at different rates. It can have a bad effect on both the bright and the not-so-bright child. After all, it can be quite discouraging to be at the bottom of the top grade!Besides, it is rather unreal to grade pupils just according to their intellectual ability. This is only one aspect of their total personality. (83) We are concerned to develop the abilities of all our pupils to the full, not just their academic ability. We also value personal qualities and social skills, and we find that mixed-ability teaching contributes to all these aspects of learning.In our classrooms, we work in various ways .The pupils often work in groups: this gives them the opportunity to learn to co-operate, to share, and to develop leadership skills. (84) They also learn how to cope with personal problems as well as learning how to think, to make decisions, to analyze and evaluate, and to communicate effectively. The pupils learn from each other as well as from the teacher.Sometimes the pupils work in pairs; sometimes they work on individual tasks and assignment, and they can to this at their own speed. They also have some formal class teaching when this is appropriate. We encourage our pupils to use the library, and we teach them the stills they need in order to do this efficiently. An advanced pupil can do advanced work: it does not matter what age the child is. We expect our pupils to do their best, not their least, and we give them every encouragement to attain this goal.51. In the passage the author’s attitude towards “mixed-ability teaching” is __________.A. criticalB. approvingC. questioningD. objective52. By “held back” (line 1, Para .1) the author means ___________.A. made to remain in the same classesB. forced to study in the lower classesC. drawn to their studiesD. prevented from advancing53.

They are also the means by which products and services that are in limited supply are distributed among buyers.The price system of the United States is a very complex network composed of the pricesof all the products bought and sold in the economy as well as those of numerous services, including labor ,professional transportation, and public-utility services. The prices of any particular product or service are linked to a broad, complicated system of prices of any particular product or service are linked to a broad, complicated system of prices in which everything seems to depend more or less on everything else.If one were to ask randomly（随机地）a group of individuals to define“price”, many would reply that price is an amount of money paid by the buyer to the buyer to the seller of a product or service as agreed upon in a market transaction（交易）. This definition is, of course, valid as far as it goes. For a complete understanding of a price in any particular transaction, much more than the amount of money involved must be known. Both the buy and the seller should be familiar with not only the money amount, but with the amount and quality of the product or service to be exchanged, the time and place at which the exchange will take place and the payment will be made, the form of money to on the product or service, delivery terms, return privileges, and other factors that c omprise the total“package”being exchanged for the asked-for amount in order that they may evaluate a given price.56.

The paragraph following the passage likely discusses ___.A. unusual ways to advertise productB. types of payment plans for serviceC. theories about how products affect difficult levels of societyD. how certain elements of price “package” in fluence its market value60. What is the best title of the passage?A. The Inherent Weakness in the Price SystemB. The complexities of the Price SystemC. Credit Terms in TransactionsD.

There were a 62 very rich people 63 received money from land or investment, and did not need to work.They used to have large 64 of servants to look 65 them. There were also many middle class people, who worked as businessmen or as doctors or lawyers. They usually had several servants to 66 their houses and cook their meals.But there were also many poor people, and there was a big 67 between the rich and the poor. The poor had very difficult lives. Many worked as servants. They used to be 68 little, and they had to work long hours. But at least they lived in warm house and were well 69.70 who worked in factories were often less 71. They used to work many hours a day, in dangerous and unhealthy conditions. But, even so, they did not use to 72 enough to feed their families. They often lived in slums which were built cheaply by the factory owners.The 73 paid people were those who worked 74 the farms. At certain times of the year, they did not use to earn 75 because there was no work 76 them to do.Life for the poor was not was not always bad. There kind farmers and factory owners who helped there workers. And many people were 77 about the poor. One of them was Charles Dickens, the famous British writer. When he was young, his family was always short 78 money. His father was a clerk, who used to 79 more than he earned.

The reader puts questions, as it were, to the text and gets answers. In the 61 of these he puts further questions, and so on.For most of the time this “conversation”goes on 62 the level consciousness. At times,63 , we become aware of it. This is usually when we are running 64 difficulties, when mismatch is occurring between 65 and meaning. When successful matching is being 66 , our questioning of the text 67 at the unconscious level.Different people converse 68 the text differently. Some stay very 69 to the Words on the page; 70 take off imaginatively from the words, interpreting, criticizing, analyzing and examining. 71 represents a kind of comprehension which is Written in the text. The latter represents 72 levels of comprehension. The 73 between these is important, especially for the advanced reader.There is another conversation which from our point of 74 is equally important, And that is to 75 not with what is read but with how it is read . We call this a “process” conversation as76 to a“content”conversation. It is concerned not with meaning bur with the strategies we 77 in reading. If we are an advanced reader our ability to hold a process conversation with a text is usually pretty well 78 . It is 79 this kind of conversation that is of importance when we are 80 to develop our reading to meet the new demands being placed upon us by studying at a high level.61.

Reading Comprehension (50%)Directions: There are 4 passages in this part. 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 write the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet.Questions 41 to 45 are based on the following passage:Passage OnePopulation tends to grow at an exponential(指数的)rate. This means that they progressively double. As an example of this type of growth rate take one penny and double every day for one month. After the first week, you would have only 64 cent, but after the fourth week you would have over a million dollars.This helps explain why the population has come on“all of a sudden”took from he beginning of human 1ife to the year 1830 for the population of the earth to reach one billion. That repents(缓慢进行) a time span of at least two million years. Then it took from 1830 to 1930 for world population to reach 2 billion. The next billion was added by 1960 only thirty years and in 1975 world population reached 4 billion which is another billion people in only fifteen years.World population is increasing at a rate of 9, 000per hour, 220,000 per day and 80 million per year. This is not only due to higher birth rate, but to lower death rate as well. The number of births has not declined at the same rate as the number of deaths.Some countries such as Columbia, Thailand, Morocco, Costa Rica and the Philippines are doubling their population about every twenty-one years with a growth rate of 3.3 percent a year or more. The United States is doubling its population about very eighty-seven years, with a rate of 0.8 percent per year. （81）Every time a population doubles, the country involved needs twice as much of everything, including hospitals, schools, resources, food and medicines to care for its people. It is easy to see that this is very difficult to achieve for the more rapidly growing countries.41. This passage chiefly discussesA. the growth of world population.B. one type of the exponential rate.C. the population problem of more rapidly growing countries.D. the possible ways of dealing with the rapid population growth.42. According to the passage what helps to explain why the population problem has come on “all of a sudden”?A. The penny that doubles itself every day for one month.B. The time span of at 1east two million years in human history.C. An illustration of the exponent growth rate given by the author.D. The large amount of money you would luckily make after the fourth week.43. It took for the world to increase its population from 1 billion to 4 billion.A. 100 yearsB. 175 yearsC. 1975 yearsD. over two million years44. Which of the following statements is NOT true?A. World population is increasing at a rate of 150 per minute.B. Lower death rate also contributes to world population growth.C. The population of Columbia has been doubling every year for 21 years.D. The United States is usually doubling its population on about every 87 years.45. When a population doubles, the country involved needs twice as much of everything including __.A. hospitals and medicinesB. schools and studentsC. food and manpower resourcesD. all of the aboveQuestions 46 to 50 based on the following passage:Passage TwoWomen are on the whole more verbal than men. They are good at 1anguage and verbal reasoning. while men tend to be skilled at tasks demanding visual-spatial(视空)abilities. In fact, along with aggression these are the most commonly accepted difference between these sexes.Words are tools for communicating with other people especially information about people. They are mainly social tools. Visual and spatial abilities are good for imagining and manipulating objects and for communicating information about them. Are these talents programmed into the brain? In some of the newest and most controversial research in neurophysiology(神经生理学), it has been suggested that when it comes to the brain males are specialists while women are generalists.But one knows that, if anything this means in terms of the abilities of the two sexes. Engineering is both Visual and spatial and it’s true that there are relatively few women engineers. But women become just as skilled as men at shooting a rifle or driving a car task that involve visual-spatial skills. They also do equally well at programming a computer, which is neither visual nor spatial. Women do, however, seem less likely to fall in love with the objects themselves. We all know men for whom machines seem to beextensions of their identity. （82）A woman is more likely to see her car, rifle or computer as a useful tool but not in itself fascinating.46. According to the passage, women are usually good at_____.A. body languageB. logical reasoningC. tasks demanding for the use of wordsD. both A and B47. The word "accepted” in the last sentence of the first paragraph, roughly means_____.A. believedB. assumedC. receivedD. reconciled48. In the author’s opinion, visual and spatial abilities are good for______.A. achieving one’s objects.B. mind and body.C. programming talents into the brain.D. imagination and communication.49. All the following tasks involve visual-spatial abilities EXCEPT____.A. imagining and handling objects.B. providing a computer with a set of instructionsC. shooting a gun and driving an automobileD. planning and making things as an engineer does50. Why do women seem less likely to fall in love with the objects themselves?A. Because they have no visual-spatial skills.B. Because they are only good at 1anguage and verbal reasoning.C. Because they are less likely to see their charming or interesting aspects.D. Because they rarely use machines such as cars, rifles, computers, etc.Questions 51 to 55 are based on the following passage:Passage ThreeThe US. government has recently helped people learn more about the dangers of earthquakes by publishing a map. This map shows the chances of an earthquake in each part of the country. （83）The areas of the map where earthquakes are most likely to occur are called earthquake “belt”. The government is, spending a great deal money and is working hard to help discover the answer to these two questions: l. Can we predict earthquake? 2. Can we control earthquakes?To answer the first question, scientists are looking very closely at the most active fault(断层)systems in the country such as the San Andreas fault in California, a fault is break between two sections of the earth’s surface. These breaks between sections are the place where earthquake occurs.Scientists look at the faults for changes that might show that an earthquake was about to occurs. But it will probably be many years before we can predict earthquakes accurately. And the control of earthquakes is even farther away.Nevertheless, there have been some interesting developments in the field of controlling earthquakes. The most interesting development concerns the Rocky Mountain Arsenal earthquakes.Here water was put into a layer of rocks 4000 meters below surface of the ground. Shortly after this injection of water, there were a small number of earthquakes. Scientists have decided that the water which was injected into rocks works like oil on each other. When the water“oiled”the fault, the fault became slippery and the energy of an earthquake was released. Scientists are still experimenting at the site of these earthquakes. They have realized that there is a connection between injection of the water and the earthquake activity. They have suggested that might be possible to use this knowledge to prevent very big destructive earthquakes, that is, scientists could inject some kind of fluid like water into faults and change one big earthquake into a number of small, harmless earthquakes.51. Earthquake belts are .A. maps that show where earthquakes are likely to occurB. zones with a high probability of earthquakesC. breaks between two sections of the earth’s surfaceD. the two layers of earth along a fault52. The San Andreas’ fault is .A. an active fault systemB. a place where earthquakes have been predicted accuratelyC. a place where earthquake have been controlledD. the location of the Rocky Mountain53. What did scientists learn about earthquakes at the Rocky Mountain Arsenal？A. They occur at bout 4000 meters below ground levelB. The injection of water into earthquake faults prevents earthquakes from occurring.C. They are usually caused by the oil in the faults.D. Harmful earthquakes can be possibly prevented by causing small harmless earthquake.54. What can be said about the experiments at Rocky Mountain Arsenal?A. They have no practical value in earthquake prevention.B. They may have practical value in earthquake prevention.C. They are certain to have practical value in earthquake prevention.D. he article does not say anything about their practical value in earthquake prevention.55. What is the most appropriate title for the passage?A. Dangers of EarthquakeB. Earthquake Belts and PredictionC. Earthquake Prediction and ControlD. Earthquake Engineering in CaliforniaQuestions 56 to 60 are based on the following passage:Passage FourSporting activities are essentially modified forms of hunting behavior. Viewed biologically, the modern footballer is in reality a member of a hunting group. His killing weapon has turned into a harmless football and his prey into a goalmouth. If his aim 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 at our forefathers. They spent over a million years evolving(进化) as Cooperative hunters. Their very survival depended on success in the hunting field. （84）Under this pressure their whole 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 attack.Then about ten thousand years ago, after this immensely long period of hunting the 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 (驯养) their prey. The hunt became suddenly out of date. The food was there on the farms, awaiting their needs. The risks and uncertainties of the hunt were no longer essential for survival.(85)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(后果), 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 to their survival. To be sure, the kill may have been eaten, but there were other purposes, much simpler of obtaining a meaty meal.56. What is the main idea of the passage?A.Hunting is very important in human civilization.B.Sporting activities satisfy the desire of modern society.C.It’s hunting that provides human beings with food.D.The importance of sporting activities in modern society.57. According to the author, sporting activities .A. are essential to the survivalB. have actually developed from huntingC. evolve as biological developmentD. are football games58. For over a million years. our forefathers were basically .A. skillful sportsmenB. successful farmersC. runners and jumpersD. cooperating hunters59. The word“operation (Par. 4)refers to .A. sports activitiesB. huntingC. farmersD. prey killing60. Which of the following is true according to the passage?A. The goalmouth is equal to the weapon in hunting.B. Without hunting our forefathers couldn’t live.C. After our forefathers became farmers they still hunted for food.D. Farmers are satisfied with stable lives and they didn’t have enthusiasm for hunting any moreIII. Cloze Test (20分)Directions: There are 20 blanks in the following passage.

Reading Comprehension（50分）阅读4片，样题提供前三篇Directions: There are 4 passages in this part, 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 OneLearning how to write is like taking a course in public speaking. I’d ask whether anyone in class had ever taken such a course. Invariably a few hands would go up.“What did you learn in that course?” I’d ask.“Well, the main thing was learning how to face an audience…not to be inhibited (拘谨；抑制)…not to be nervous…”Exactly, when you take a course in public speaking nowadays, you don’t hear much about grammar and vocabulary. Instead, you’re taught how not to be afraid or embarrassed, how to speak without a prepared script, how to reach out to the live audience before you. Public speaking is a matter of overcoming your longstanding nervous inhibitions.It is the same in writing. The point of the whole thing is to overcome your nervous inhibitions, to break through the invisible barrier that separates you from the person who’ll read what you wrote. You must learn to sit in front of your typewriter or dictating machine and reach out to the person at the other end of the line.O f course, in public speaking, with the audience right in front of you, the problem is easier. You can look at them and talk to them directly. In writing, you’re alone. It needs an effort of your experience or imagination to take hold of that other person and talk to him or her. But that effort is necessary or at least it’s necessary until you’ve reached the point when you quite naturally and unconsciously “talk on paper.”4l. The main task of a public speech course is to ________.A. teach spoken-language experienceB. teach how to use gestures to assist speechC. help the learners overcome nervousnessD. teach how to control the volume of the speaker’s voice42. Learning how to write is similar to learning how tospeak in public in that a writer should ___________.A. overcome his or her nervousness in the first placeB. watch his or her grammar and vocabularyC. collect a lot of data before writingD. take hold of a reader and talk to him or her before writing43. In the author’s opinion, _________.A.w riting needs more experience and skill than publicspeakingB.b oth writing and public speaking require effortC.w riting is imaginativeD.p ublic speaking is not so natural as writing44. Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the passage?A.N ot many students feel the need to learn publicspeaking.B.T raining is necessary before you can speak with script.C.I n public speaking, the audience are more nervousthan the speaker.D.W riting is just like making a public speech on paper.45. This selection is mainly about learning how to _______.A.m ake a public speechB.t alk on paperC.b ehave properly in public speechD.e xpress strong emotion on paperPassage TwoIn the modern technological world the sea offers many resources to help mankind survive. Resources on land are beginning to grow less. The sea, however, still offers hope to supply many of man’s needs.The riches of the sea yet to be developed by man’s technology are impressive. Oil and gas explorations have existed for nearly thirty years. Valuable amounts of minerals such as iron, nickel and copper and so on exist on the ocean floor, ready to be mined.Fish farming promises to be a good way to produce large quantities of food. The culture of fish and shellfish is an ancient skill practiced in the past mainly by Oriental peoples.Besides oil and gas, the sea may offer new sources of energy. Experts believe that the warm temperature of the ocean can be used in a way similar to the steam in a steamship. Ocean currents and waves offer possible use as a source of energy such as hydroelectric power.Technology is enabling man to explore ever deeper under the sea. The new undersea technology is providing divers with diving suits and undersea chambers that are kept at sea level pressure. The development of strong, new materials has made this possible.The technology to harvest the sea continues to improve. By the year , experts believe that the problems to exploit the food, minerals, and energy sources of the sea will be largely solved.46. What is the best title for the passage?A. Needs of ManB. Sources of EnergyC. SeaHarvest D. Sea Exploring Technology47. According to the author, technology for exploring the sea is important because______.A.m an cannot travel farther into spaceB.resources on land are running shortC.i t’s a lot of fun diving into the seaD. ancientpeople used to explore the sea48. Why does the author mention a steamship?A.To indicate that it is warmer in the ocean than onland.B.To show that a steamship is better than other kindsof ship.C.To argue that man should use steamships more thanother means of transportation.D.To illustrate that man can make use of sources ofenergy from the sea.49. It can be inferred from the passage that_______.A.man hasn’t completely developed the riches of theseaB.technology for exploring the sea has been solvedC.planting rice in the sea will be made possible in ashort timeD.in the near future man can live on the ocean floor50. The word “exploit” in the last paragraph could best be replaced by________.A.evaluateB. developC. gatherD. scatterPassage ThreeYour passport is your official identification as an American citizen. In America, most people never consider obtaining a passport unless they are planning a trip out of the country. In Europe, where travel from one country to another is much more common, almost everyone carries a passport. A passport is the final proof of identity in almost every county in the world.In l979 almost l5 million Americans held passports. Most of these passports were obtained to travel outside the country because, except for a few Western nations, passports are required to enter every country. And if youtravel abroad, you must have a valid passport to reenter the country.When traveling abroad, you will need a passport for identification when exchanging dollars for francs or marks or other foreign currency. You may also need your passport to use a credit card, buy an airplane ticket or check into a hotel. As a passport is an official U.S. document, it is valuable as identification in any emergency overseas, such as floods, fires or war.Don’t confuse passports and visas. Whereas a passport is issued by a country to its citizens, a visa is official permission to visit a country granted by the government of that country. For some years, many countries were dropping their visa requirements, but that trend has reversed. Argentina, Brazil, and Venezuela now require visas from U.S. citizens. They may be obtained from the embassy of the country you wish to visit.Passport applications are available at passport agency offices in large cities like Boston, New York, or Chicago. In smaller cities, applications are available at post offices and at federal courts. To get your first passport, you mustsubmit the application in person, along with a birth certificate and two pictures.5l. The main purpose of this passage is to___________.A. discuss traveling in other countriesB. distinguish between passports and visasC. discuss the financial uses of a passportD. provide information about passports52. Passports are beneficial for___________.A. exchanging currencyB. using a credit cardC. checking into hotelsD. all of the above53. We can conclude from the passage that_________.A. every country requires a visa from a foreign citizenB. not every country requires a visa from a foreign citizenC. only countries like Argentina, Brazil, andVenezuela now require visas from U.S. citizensD. passports are obtained at the embassy once you enter a country54. The passage suggests that_________.A. most people don’t realize how important passports areB. passports aren’t important once you are in thecountry you’ve chosen to visitC. passports are simple to obtain through the mailD. passports are obtained at the embassy once youenter a country55. As used in this passage, the word “valid” in the second paragraph means__________.A. foreignB. legalC. monetaryD. illegal III．Cloze (20分)Directions: There are 20 blanks in the following passage.

Read it carefully and translate it into Chinese.As a developing country, China is confronted with the dual task of developing the economy and protecting the environment. Starting from its national conditions, China has, in the process of promoting its overall modernization program, made environmental protection one of its basic policies, regarded the realization of sustainable economic development as an important strategy and meanwhile, carried out throughout the country campaigns for pollution prevention and treatment as well as ecological environmental protection.Over the 35 years since its adoption of reform and opening policy, China’s gross national product has achieved an average annual growth of around l0 percent, while its environment has basically ceased from deteriorating. Practice has shown that China’s endeavor in striking a balance between economic development and environmental protection has been effective.As a member of the international community, China, while making great efforts to protect its own environment, has taken an active part in international environmental protection affairs to promote international cooperation in environmental protection, and earnestly fulfilled her international obligations. All these have given full expression to the sincerity and determination of the Chinese government and people to protect the global environment.Mankind still faces a great many difficulties in solving the problems of the environment and development, and there is a grand task to perform and a long way to go. China will, as it did in the past, cooperate with other countries of the world and strive for the protection of the environment for human survival, for the happiness and prosperity of humanity, and for the benefits of our children.V.

Reading Comprehension (40 points)Directions: There are four passages in this part. 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 1Questions 36—40 are based on the following passageTo understand how Americans think about things, it is necessary to understand “the point”. Americans mention it often: “Let’s get right to the point,” they will say. “My point is …”“What is the point of all this?”The “point” is the idea of the piece of information that Americans suppose is, or should be, at the center of people’ thinking, writings, and spoken comments. Speakers and writers are supposed to “make their points clear”, meaning that they are supposed to say or write clearly the idea of information they wish to express.People from many other cultures have different ideas about the point. Africans traditionally tell stories that express the thoughts they have in mind, rather than stating the point is. Thus, while an American might say to a friend , “I don’t think that coat goes very well with the rest of your outfit,” a Japanese might say , “Maybe this other coat would look eve n better than the one you have on .”Americans value a person who “gets right to the point.” Japanese are likely to consider such a person insensitive if not rude.The Chinese and Japanese languages are characterized by vagueness(模糊) and ambiguity(歧义).The precision and directness Americans associate with “the point” cannot be achieved ,and lest not with any grace, in Chinese and Japanese. Speakers of those languages thus have to learn a new way of reasoning and expressing their ideas if they are going to communicate satisfactorily with Americans.36.

In order to communicate with Americans satisfactorily, speakers of Chinese need to____A. lean the language wellB. change their way of thinkingC. be careful about their choice of wordsD. explain their reasons clearlyPassage 2Questions 36—40 are based on the following passageMany young people tell me they want to be writers. I always encourage such people, but I also explain that there’s big difference between “being a writer” and writing. In most cases these young people are dreaming of wealth and fame, not the long hours lonely at a typewriter. “You’ve got to want write,”I say to them, “not want to be a writer.”The reality is that writing is lonely, private and poor-paying. for every writer kissed by fortune there are thousands more whose longing is never realized. When I left a 20-year career in the U. S. Army to become a freelance writer (自由撰稿者), I had expectation at all. What I did have was a friend who found me my room in a New York apartment building. It didn’t even matter that it was cold and had no bathroom. I immediately bought a used typewriter and felt like a true writer.After a year or so, however, I still hadn’t gotten any breakthrough and began to doubt myself. It was so hard to sell story that I barely made enough to eat .But I knew I wanted to write. I had dreamed about it for years. I wasn’t going to be one of those people who gave up halfway. I would keep putting my dream to the test---even though it meant living with uncertaintyand fear of failure. This is the shadow-land of hope, and anyone with a dream must learn to live there.41. The passage means to ______A. warn young people of the hardships that a writer has to experienceB. advise young people to give up their idea of becoming a professional writerC. show young people it’s unrealistic for a writer to pursue wealth and fameD. encourage young people to pursue a writing career42. What can be concluded from the passage?A. Genuine writers often find their work interesting and rewarding.B.A writer’s success depends on luck rather than on effort.C. Famous writers usually live in poverty and isolationD. The chance for a writer to become successful are small.43. Why did the author begin to doubt himself after the first year of his writing career?A. He wasn’t able to produce a single book.B. He wasn’t able to have a rest fo r a whole year.C. He found his dream would never come true.D. He hadn’t seen a change for the better.44. When the author began writing, he only had_____.A. a second-hand typewriter.B. a friend who helped him find a room to liveC. a cold room without a bathroomD. empty expectations of his future45. “shadow-land” in the last sentence refers to_____.A. the piece of land one often dreams aboutB. the state of uncertainty before one’s final goal is reachedC. the bright future that one is looking forward toD. a world that exists only in one’s imaginationPassage 3Questions 36—40 are based on the following passageMy friend Mike was shaking his head in disbelief. “That young woman who just waited onme ,”he said ,pointing to an employee of the fas t food restaurant where we eating , “had to call someone over to help her count out the change .the cash register(出纳机) showed her I need 99 nets ,but she couldn’t figure out how to count out the coins .”I understood Mike’s concern .What we have done in thi s country ,although unintentionally ,is to create several generations of individuals most of most of whom have no idea how to reason, how to do simple math ,how to do research ,or finally how to be creative .The reason for this is our overuse of information technology :video games, television, digital watches, calculators, and computer. information technology feeds us information without requiring us to think about it and let us perform operations without understanding them.It is time for us to take a hand look at an educational system that only teaches our children how to push buttons. Our kids can’t tell time if the clock has hands .they can use calculators but cannot add, subtract, divide or multiply. Video games have taken the place of active imaginative play .Although most of them are technically literate ,they choose not to read .They are so used to television and movies that they cannot use their imagination to stay interested in a book .It is not enough to recognize the problem. What we need is solution .the one I offer is simple to suggest , but may be impossible to carry out. We must unplug our children .If wedon’t, they will never learn how to solve problems. They will never learn basic reasoning skills and will certainly not develop creativity .Instead of filling classrooms with electronics, let’s to perform computer operations, but to figure and to figure and reason for themselves. They must see how things work and how process leads to results, they must also stretch their imagination.46. What seems to be the problem of the employee of the fast food restaurant?A. She does not know how to count coins.B. She is unable to solve simple math problem.C. She has no small change for the customers.D. She does not know how to operate cash registers47. What is the author’s and his friend Mike’s concern?A. The educational system is now creating people who can’t think for themselves.B. People now rarely do things on their own.C. Computers feed us too much information nowadays.D. The restaurant does not provide good service.48. For children to have imaginative minds, they must_____.A. be born with talentsB. be taught to read the right booksC .be dragged away from machinesD. have a large vocabulary49. What is the most probable meaning of “unplug o ur children” in the last paragraph?A. Give them freedom of enjoying themselves.B. Teach themC. Get them off TV and computer games.D. Turn off all the power in the schools.50. The conclusion of the article is that the authorbelieves_____A. electronics should have no place in classroomsB. information technology helps us to do things we do not understandC. all books benefit children more than anything elseD. information technology is new being overusedPassage4Questions 36—40 are based on the following passageAll of us communicate with one another nonverbally(不使用语言地)，as well as with words. Most of the time we’re not aware that we are doing it. We gesture with elbows or a hand, meet someone else’s eyes and look away, change positions in a c hair. These actions we assume are occasional. However in recent years researchers have discovered that there is a system to them almost as consistent and understandable as language.One important kind of body language is eye behavior. Americans are careful about how and when they meet one another’s eyes. In our normal conversation, each eye contact lasts only about a second before one or both of us look away. When two Americans look searchingly into each other’s eyes, they become more intimate. Therefore, we carefully avoid this, except in suitable situations.Researchers who are engaged in the study of communication through body movement are not prepared to spell out a precise vocabulary of gestures. When an American rubs his nose, it may mean he is disagreeing with someone or refusing something. But there are other possible interpretations(解释)，too. Anther example: when a student in conversation with a professor holds the older man’s eyes a little longer than is usual, it can be sign of respect; it can be a challenge to the professor’s authority; itcan be something else entirely. The researches look for patterns in the situation, not for a separate meaningful gesture.Communications between human beings would be just dull if it were all done with words.51. The main idea of this article is that________A. study of communication through body movement is a new scienceB. body movements are as important as words in communicationC. all of us communicate with one anotherD. eye behavior is the most important part in body language52. What do researchers think of body language?A. Body language can be understood and used by people in communication.B. Body language is more important than spoken language in communication.C. Body language has been discovered in recent years.D. Body language is the study of communication via body movement.53. The word“intimate” in paragraph two probably means______.A. greatB. closeC. goodD. important54. According to the passage, you make an American person feel uncomfortable if you_____.A. meet his eyesB. avoid meeting his eyesC. stare into his eyes for one secondD. look into his eyes for a long time55. The sentence “the researchers look for patterns in the situation, not for a separate meaningful gesture” means______.A. the researchers explain the meaning of a gesture according to the situation in which it is usedB. the researchers believe that one gesture has only one meaningC. the researchers think that one gesture cannot be used in different situationsD. the researchers look for patterns in textbooks to explain the meaning of a gestureV.

But actually the umbrella was not invented as protection against the rain. It was first used as a shade against the sun.Nobody knows who first invented it, but the umbrella was used in very ancient times. Probably the first to use it were the Chinese, way back in the eleventh century .We know that the umbrella was also used in ancient Egypt and Babylon as a sunshade. (81)And there was a strange thing connected with its use; it became a symbol of honor and authority. In the Far East in ancient times, the umbrella was allowed to be used only by royal people or by those in high office.In Europe, the Greeks were the first to use the umbrella as a sunshade. And the umbrella was in common use in ancient Greece. But it is believed that the first persons in Europe to use umbrellas as protection against the rain were the ancient Romans.During the Middle Ages, the use of the umbrella practically disappeared. Then it appeared again in Italy in the 16th century. And again it became a symbol of power and authority.Umbrellas have not changed much in style during all this time, though they have becomemuch lighter in weight. It wasn't until the twenties century that women's umbrellas began to be made in a variety of colors.41. The first use of the umbrella was as .42. A. Protection against the rain B. A shade against the sun.43. C. A symbol of power D. A symbol of honor44. The are regarded as the people who first used umbrellas.45. A. Romans B. Greeks C. Chinese D. Europeans46. The umbrella was used only by royal people or those in high office .47.A. in Europe in the eighteenth century.48.B. in ancient Egypt and Babylon49.C. in the Far East in ancient times50.D. during the Middle Ages51.According to the passage, which of the following is NOT true?52.A. Women's umbrellas are made in various kinds of colors.53.B. The inventor of the umbrella is unknown.54.C. Once ordinary people had no right to use umbrellas.55.D. Umbrellas were popular and cheap in ancient times.56.Which of the following may be the best title for the passage?57.A. When Was the Umbrella Invented58.B. The Roles of Umbrellas in History59.C. The Colors and Shapes of Umbrellas60.D. Who Needed the Umbrella FirstDoctors are starting to find more and more information that suggests a connection between exercise and brain development. According to some research, it seems that exercise can make blood vessels, including those in the brain, stronger and more fully developed.The effects of exercise on brain development can even be seen in babies. Babies who do activities that require a lot of movement and physical activity show greater brain development than babies who are less physically active. Margaret Barnes, a pediatrician, believes in the importance of exercise. (82)She thinks that many learning disabilities that children have in elementary school or high school can be traced back to a lack of movement as babies.In studies with seniors, research has shown that exercise helps older people as well. The exercise doesn't have to be very difficult. The main goal is just to increase the heart rate. Andespecially when learning new movements, such as yoga or tai chi, it appears that new memory paths open up in the brain. This can improve people's short-term memory.61. What is the main idea of this passage?62. A. How to take exercise B. How exercise helps the brain63. C. How to enjoy music D. How the brain can change64. According to the passage, how does exercise affect the brain?65. A. It helps people think more clearly B. It improves long-term memory66. C. It makes babies more intelligent D. It strengthens blood vessels67. According to Margaret Barnes, many learning problems that children have in school may be caused by .68. A. low intelligence B. a lack of exercise when very young69. C. social problems D. difficult relationships with teachers70. Why are voga and tai chi recommended to seniors?71. A. They are new movements B. They are good for memory72. C. They can slow down their heart rate. D. They are good for joints73. What type of patients does a pediatrician probably treat?74. A. Patients with mental problems B. Patients with physical problems75. C. Children D. Old peoplePassage ThreeHow can we get rid of garbage? Do we have enough energy sources to meet our future energy needs? These are two important questions that many people are asking today. Some people think that man might be able to solve both problems at the same time. (83)They suggest using garbage as an energy source, and at the same time it can save the land to hold garbage.For a long time, people buried garbage or dumped it on empty land. Now, empty land is scarce.But more and more garbage is produced each year. However, garbage can be a good fuel to use. The things do not look like coal, petroleum, or natural gas; but they are chemically similar to these fossil fuels. As we use up our fossil fuel supplies, we might be able to use garbage as an energy source.Buring garbage is not a new idea. Some cities in Europe and the United States have been buring garbage for years. The heat that is produced by burning garbage is used to boil water. The steam that is produced is used to make electricity or to heat nearby buildings. In Pairs, France, some power plants burn almost 2 million metric tons of the city's garbage each year. The amount of energy produced is about the same as would be produced by buring almost a half million barrels of oil.But there are problems in using garbage as a fuel. Garbage that burns easily , such as food scraps (碎屑 ) and paper, must be separated from metals, glass, and other materials that do not burn easily. This separation process is normally costly. Another problem is that burning garbage can pollute the air.Our fossil fuel supplies are limited. Buring garbage might be one kind of energy source that we can use to help meet our energy needs. This method could also reduce the amount of garbage piling up on the earth.76.What two problems can man solve by burning problem?77.A. The shortage of energy and air pollution78.B. The shortage of energy and the land to hold garbage.79.C. Air pollution and the shortage of fossil fuels.80.D. Air pollution and the shortage of the land to hold garbage.81.Which of the following is NOT the result of burning garbage?82.A. The garbage burned is turned into fossil fuels.83.B. The heat produced is used to boil water.84.C. The steam produced is used to make electricity.85.D. The steam produced is used to heat buildings.86.According to the passage, which of the following is NOT true?87.A. About 2 million metric tons of garbage is burned in France each year.88.B. In the modern society, more and more garbage is produced each year.89.C. Using garbage is a good way to solve the problem of energy shortage.90.D. Burning garbage is an old idea.91.According to the passage, which of the following four groups of garbage is ready for burning?92. A. Food scraps and metals B. Paper and glass93. C. Metals and glass D. Food scraps and paper94. What is the general tone of the passage?95. A. Optimistic B. Indifferent C. Promoting D. AnxiousPassage FourH5N1 avian influence, known commonly as bird flu, has killed at least 15 people across Asia and was confirmed in China on January 27. No human cases have been found in the mainland, but 13 of the country's 31 provinces, autonomous regions, and municipalities ( 直辖市 ) have reported the disease in poultry.The Chinese government has taken measures to prevent and control the disease. Poultry within 3 km of infected farms is to be killed and those within 5 km to receive vaccines ( 疫苗 ).(84)Meanwhile , there will be constant monitoring and daily reports on the disease across the country, and increased production of bird flu vaccines.Among the Asian countries and regions affected by bird flue in animals, only Vietnam and Thailand have reported human cases. The people infected were reported to have caught the disease from poultry, while the World Health Organization (WHO) said there is "no proof of human-to-human transmission( 流传 )" of bird flue.(85)The big fear is that the disease could combine with a human influenza virus to create a deadly new disease that will kill millions of people across the globe. Many Asian farmers live closely with their animals and sell live chickens in the market. This greatly increases the possibility of human beings infected with bird flu.A spokesman of the WHO said that Asian countries affected by bird flu should introduce a more healthy way of raising and selling chickens. And the people there have to complexly change their lifestyle and attitude towards animals. Here are some safety measures for people to stay healthy;Keep fit and well through regular exercise;Avoid infected poultry and infected people;Avoid eating raw or under-done poultry and eggs;Make sure there is always fresh air in your home;Cover your mouth and nose when coughing or sneezing;Wash your hands frequently;56. What does the word "poultry "in the passage mean?57. A. Wild birds B. Wild animalsC. Home-raised birdsD. Home-raised animals58. From the passage, we can learn that .59.A. infected poultry within 3 km was killed in China.60.B. Bird flu case was confirmed in China on Jan,27.61.C. Human cases were found 13Asian countries62.D.

Translate the following paragraph into Chinese: (10 points) Rummaging through the fruit and veg section of my local supermarket, reading the country of origin labels, I am bewildered by the geography of it all. That the fruits of the earthshould all be laid out on tidy shelves in this provincial corner of Britain would have been unthinkable a few years ago, yet now it is taken for granted.Once strange and exotic fruits that only the rich could afford, if not now part of everyones diet, are certainly part of our everydayshopping experience. So much so that instead of focusing on the novel, I am drawn to the commonplace. Here, among the humble vegetables, something strange and disturbing is going on.V. Translate the following sentences into English:(10*3points=30points)1. .(to knock over).2. .(to roar with).3. .( to have no knack for).. ,,(alternative to). ,.(for the sake of).6. ..7. ,.(to convert into).8. .(to interfere with).9. .(to trap).10. .(to dawn on).VI. Reading Comprehension (38 points)Clearly if we are to participle in the society in which we live we must communicate with other people. A great deal of communicating is performed on a person-to-person basis by the simple means of speech. If we travel in buses, buy things in shops, or eat in restaurants, we are likely to have conversations where we give information or opinions, receive news or comment, and very likely have our views challenged by other members ofsociety.Face-to-face contact is by no means the only form of communication and during the last two hundred years the art of has become of one of the dominating factors ofcontemporary society. Two things, above others, have caused the enormous growth of the communication industry. Firstly, inventiveness has led to advances in printing, telecommunications, photography, radio and television. Secondly, speed has revolutionized the transmission and reception of communications so that local news often takes a back seat to national news, which itself is often almost eclipsed by international news.No longer is the possession of information confined to a privileged minority. In the last century the wealthy man with his own library was indeed fortunate, but today there are public libraries. Forty years ago people used to flock to the cinema, but now far more people sit at home and turn on the TV to watch a programme that is being channeled into millions of homes.Communication is no longer merely concerned with the transmission of information. The modern communication industry influences the way people live in society and broadens their horizons by allowing access to information, education and entertainment. The printing, broadcasting and advertising industries are all involved with informing,educating and entertaining.Although a great deal of the material communicated by the mass media is very valuable to the individual and to the society of which he is apart, the vast modern network of communications is open to abuse. However, the mass media are with us for better, for worse,and there is no turning back.1. In the first paragraph the writer emphasizes the _________ offace-to-face contact insocial settings.A natureB limitationC usefulnessD creativity2. It is implied in the passage that_______A local news used to be the only source of informationB local news still takes a significant placeC national news is becoming more popularD international news is the fastest transmitted news3. which of the following statement is INCORRECT?A To possess information used to be a privilegeB Public libraries have replaced private librariesC Communication means more than transmissionD Information influences ways of life and thinking4.From the last paragraph we can infer that the writer is________.A indifferent to the harmful influence of the mass mediaB happy about the drastic changes in the mass mediaC pessimistic about the future of the mass mediaD concerned about the wrong use of the mass mediaI am one of the many city people who are always saying that giventhe choice we would prefer to live in the country away from the dirt andnoise of a large city. I have managed to convince myself thatit werent for my job I would immediately head out for the open spaces and go back to nature in some sleepy village buried in the country. But howrealistic is the dream?Cities can be frightening places. The majority of the populationlive in massive tower blocks, noisy, dirty and impersonal. The sense of belonging to a community tends to disappear when you live fifteen floors up. All you can see from your window is sky, or other blocks of flats. Children become aggressive and nervouscooped up at home all day, with nowhere to play; their mothers feel isolated from the rest of the world. Strangely enough whereas in the past the inhabitants of one street all knew each other, nowadays people on the same floor in tower blocks dont even say hello to each other.Country life, on the other hand, differs from this kind of isolated existence in that a sense of community generally binds the inhabitants of small villages together. People have the advantage of knowing that there is always someone to turn to when they need help. But country life has disadvantages too. While it is true that you may be among friends in a village, it is also true that you are cut off from the existing and important events that take place in cities. Theres little possibility of going to a new show or the latest movie. Shopping becomes a major problem, andfor anything slightly out of the ordinary you have to go on and expedition to the nearest large town. The city-dweller who leaves forthe country is often oppressed by a sense of unbearable stillness and quiet.What, then, is the answer? The country has the advantage of peaceand quiet, but suffers from the disadvantage of being cut off; the city breeds a feeling of isolation, and constant noise batters the senses.But one of its main advantages is that you are at the center of things, and that life doesnt come to an end at half-past nine at night. Some people have found (or rather bought) a compromise between the two; they have expressed their preference for the quiet life by leaving the suburbs and moving to villages within commuting distance of large cities. They generally have about as much sensitivity as the plastic flowers they leave behind they are polluted with strange ideas about change and improvement which they force on to the unwilling original inhabitants of the villages.What then of my dreams of leaning on a cottage gate and murmuring morning to the locals as they pass by? Im keen on the idea, but you see theres my cat, T oby, Im not at all sure that he would take to all that fresh air and exercise in the long grass, I mean, can you see him mixing with all those hearty males down the farm? No, he would rather have the electric imitation-coal fire any evening.5. We get the impression from the first paragraph that the authorA used to live in the countryB used to work in the cityC works in the cityD lives in the country6. In the authors opinion, the following may cause city people to be unhappy EXCEPT A a strong sense of fear B lack ofcommunicationC housing conditionsD a sense of isolation7. The passage implies that it is easy to buy the following thingsin the country EXCEPT A daily necessities B fresh fruitsC designer clothesD fresh vegetables8. According to the passage, which of the following adjectives best describes those people who work in large cities and live in villages?A OriginalB QuietC ArrogantD Insensitive9. Do you think the author will move to the country?A Yes, he will do soB No, he will not do soC It is difficult to tellD He is in two mindsIdeas about education are changing in the United States. Education today is not just a high school diploma or a college degree. Many adults are not interested in going to college. They are interested in other kinds of learning. For them, learning does not end with a diploma.Continuing education gives these adults the opportunity to increase their knowledge about their own field or to learn about a new field. It also gives them a chance to improve their old skills or to learn new ones.Scientists, mechanics and barbers can take classes toimprove their work skills. If they know more or learn more, they can get a better job or earn more money.Continuing education classes give more adults the chances to learn new skills. There is usually a large variety of classes to choose from: typing, foreign cooking, photography, auto repair, furniture repair, or swimming. These are only some of the classes available.Some adults take classes for fun or because the class will be useful for them. Other adults take continuing education classes to improve their own lives because they want to feel better about themselves.Almost any community college or public school system has a continuing education program. There are classes in schools, community buildings or churches. Most classes are in the evening, so working people can attend. The classes are usually small, and they are inexpensive.10. The new idea about education in the U.S. is that__________.A. everyone should get a college degreeB. Its no use for adults to go to collegeC. a high school diploma is the end of educationD. adults should go on learning after graduating from school11. Whats the purpose for adults to continue their education?A. Enlarge their knowledge and learn new skills.B. Catch up the opportunity to get a higher degree.C. Learn more basic knowledge to get a diploma.D. Make themselves live a more comfortable life.12. Which of the following statement is true?A. There are only a few continuing education classes available for adults.B. Only those who want to get more money should go onwith their education.C. People take continuing education can get a good job.D. All the people getting continuing education can get a good job.13. Usually, the continuing education program is given________.A. in a small size and expensivelyB. only for working peopleC. only in community buildings or churchesD. by community colleges and public schools14. The best title for the passage would be _________.A. Continuing Education ClassesB. The Importance of a College DegreeC. A Good Way to Earn More MoneyD. Difference Choices for AdultsHuman cloning technology could be used to reverse heart attacks. Scientists believe that they may be able to treat heart attack victims by cloning their healthy heart cells and injecting them into the areas of the heart that have been damaged, and other problems may be solved if human cloning and its technology are not forbidden.With cloning, infertile couples could have children. Current treatments for infertility, in terms of percentages, are not very successfully. Couples go through physically and emotionally painfulprocedures for a small chance of having children. Many couples run out of time and money without successfully having children. Human cloning could make it possible for many more infertile couples to have children than ever before.We should be able to clone the bone marrow for childrenand adults suffering from leukemia. This is expected to be one of the first benefits to come from cloning technology.We may learn how to switch cells on and off through cloning and thus be able to cure cancer.Cloning technology can be used to test for and perhaps cure gene-related diseases.The above is just a few examples of what human cloning technology can do for mankind. This new technology promises unprecedented advancement in medicine if people will release their fears and let the benefits begin.15Heart attacks can be treated with human cloning technologyby___________.A removing the damaged part of the heartB replacing the old heart with a cloned oneC repairing the heart with cells cloned from healthy onesD giving the patients injections of various medicines16. The word infertile(Line 1, Para.2) most probablymeans____________.A unable to give birth to a childB with physical and emotional problemsC short of time and moneyD separated from each other for long17. According to the passage, one of the first expected benefits from cloning technology may be in____________.A the treatment of heart attacksB the bearing of babiesC the cure of blood diseasesD the detection of gene-related diseases18. Cancer may be cured with the cloning technology by___________.A attacking the diseased cells with healthy onesB controlling the growth of the cellsC detecting disordered genes in the cancel cellsD activating cancer cells by switching them on19. According to the writer, the main problem with the development of human cloning technology is that___________.A it may be out of human controlB it has brought about few benefits so farC people still know little about itD people are afraid of such technologyVII.

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 1After a day of work and play, the body needs to rest. Enough sleep is necessary for good health. During this time, the body recovers from the activities of the previous day. The rest that you get while sleeping enables your body to prepare itself for the next day.There are four levels of sleep, each being a little deeper than the one before. As you sleep, your muscles relax little by little. Your heart beats more slowly, and your brain slows down. After you reach the fourth level, your body shifts back and forth from one level of sleep to another.Although your mind slows down, from time to time you will dream. Scientists who study sleep state that when dreaming occurs, your eyeballs begin to move more quickly （Although your eyelids are closed ）.

We tend to blame TV, he says, for problems it doesn't really cause, overlooking our own roles in shaping children's minds.One traditional belief about television is that it reduces a child's ability to think and to understand the world. While watching TV, children do not merely absorb words and images （影像）.Instead, they learn both stated and implied meanings from what they see, Actually, children learn early the psychology of characters in TV shows. Furthermore, as many teachers agree, children understand far more when their parents watch TV with them, explaining new words and ideas. Yet, most parents use an educational program as a chance to sit their kids in front of the TV set and do something in another room.Another argument against television is that it replaces reading as a form of entertainment. But according to Anderson, the amount of time spent watching television is not related to reading ability. TV doesn't take the place of reading for most children; it takes the place of similar sorts of recreation, such as listening to the radio and playing sports. Things like parents' educational background have a stronger influence on a child's reading. ”A child's reading ability is best predicted by how m uch a parent reads/1 Anderson says.Traditional wisdom also has it that heavy television-watching lowers children's IQ scores and affects their school performance. But here, too, Anderson notes that no studies have proved it. In fact, research suggests that it's the other way around.11 If you're smart young, you'll watch less TV when you*re older/ Anderson says. Yet, people of lower IQ tend to be lifelong television viewers.Foryears, researchers have attempted to show that television is dangerous to children. However, by showing that television promotes none of the dangerous effects as conventionally 0专统土也）believed, Anderson suggests that television cannot be blamed without considering other influences.46.By watching TV, children learnA. images through wordsB. both stated and implied meaningsC. more about images than wordsD. little about people's psychology47.According to the passage, an educational program is best watched by childrenA. on their ownB. with other kidsC. with their parentsD. with their teachers48.Which of the following is most related to children's reading ability?A. Listening to the radio.B. Watching television.C. Parents1 reading list.D. Parents1 educational background.49.Anderson believed thatA.the more children watch TV. the smarter they areB.the younger children are, the more they watch TVC.the smarter children are, the less likely they are more interested in watching TVD.the less children watch TV, the better they perform at school50.What is the purpose of the passage?A.To advise that TV should be used for educationakpurposes.B.To describe the harmful effects of TV on children.C.To explain traditional views of influences that TV has had on children.D.To suggest that television cannot be blamed for problems it doesn't cause.Passage 3It was a cold winter day. A woman drove up to the Rainbow Bridge tollbooth （收费站）.“ I'm paying for myself, and for the six cars-behind me/ she said with a smile. One after another, the next six drivers arriving at* the tollbooth were informed, "Some lady up ahead already you're your fare/' It turned out that the woman, Natalie Smith, had read something on a friend's refrigerator: n Practice random （随意的）kindness and senseless acts of beauty.'* The phrase impressed her so much that she copied it down.Judy Foreman spotted the same phrase on a warehouse wall far away from home When it stayed on her mind for days, she decided to drive all the way back to copy it down. "I thought it was beautiful/ she said, explaining why she would write it at the bottom of all her let ters, “like a message from above." Her husband, Frank, liked the phrase so much that he put it up on the classrOom.walkfor his students, one of whom was the daughter of Alice Johnson, a local news reporter. ~ Alice .put it in the newspaper, admitting that though she liked i.t, she did not know here it came from or what it really meant.Two days later, Alice got a call from Anne Herbert, a woman living in Matin. It was in a restaurant that Anne wrote the phrase down on a piece of paper, after turning it around in her mind for days."Here's the idea/1 Anne says. "Anything you think there should be more of, do it randomly/* Her fantasies include painting the classrooms of old schools, leaving hot meals on kitchen tables in the poor part of town, and giving money secretly to a poor old lady. Anne says, ”Kindness can build on itself as much as violence can/1The acts of random kindness spread. If you were one of those drivers who found your fare aid, who knows what you might have been inspired to do for someone else later. Like all great events, kindness begins slowly, with every single act. Let it be yours!51.Why did Natalie Smith pay for the six cars behind her?A.She knew the car drivers well.B.She wanted to show kindness.C.She hoped to please others.D.She had seven tickets.52.Judy Foreman copied down the phrase because sheA.thought it was beautifully writtenB.wanted to know what it really meantC.decided to write it on a warehouse wallD.wanted her husband to put it up in the classroom53.Who wrote the phrase down on a piece of paper according to the passage?A. Judy Foreman.B. Natalie Smith.C. Alice Johnson.D. Anne Herbert.54.Which of the following statements is closest in meaning to the underlined sentence in thepassage?A.Kindness and violence can change the world.B.Kindness and violence can affect people's behavior.C.Kindness and violence can reproduce themselves.D.Kindness and violence can shape people's character.55.What can be inferred from the last paragraph?A.People should not practice random kindness to those in need.B.People who receive kindness are likely to offer it to others.C.People should not practice random kindness to strangers they meet.D.People who receive kindness are less likely to pay it back to the giver.Passage 4Peter loved to buy used articles. Almost a month ago, he bought a popular word game that used little pieces of wood with different letters on them. As he was purchasing it, the salesgirl said, "Uh, look, the game box hasn1t even been opened yet. That might be worth some money/'Peter examined the box, and sure enough, it was completely covered in factory-sealed plastic. He saw a date of 1973 on the back of the box."You should put that up for auction （拍卖）on the Internet, and see what happens/* the salesgirl said."Yes, you're right. People like something rare/' Peter agreed, n l can't imagine there being very any unopened boxes of this game still around 40 years later/*"Don't forget to tell me if you sell it,n the salesgirl smiled.”No problem/1 Peter said.After he got home, Peter went online to several auction websites looking for his game, but he could not find it. Then he typed in the name of the word game and hit SEARCH. The search result was 543 websites containing information about the changes of the game. Over the years, the game had been produced using letters in different sizes and game boards in different colors. He also found some lists of game fans looking for various versions of the game. Peter emailed some of them, telling them what he had.Two weeks later, Peter went back to the shop."Hello! Do you still remember the unopened word game?"The salesgirl looked at him for a second, then recognized him and said, ”Oh, hi!""I've got something for you," Peter said.

Reading Comprehension (50%)Directions: There are 4 passages in this part. 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 write the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet.Questions 41 to 45 are based on the following passage:Passage OneWhat do we talk about when we talk about money? We often think about what we can buy whit the money we have, what we can’t buy because we don’t have enough and what we’re planning to buy when we have more. We discuss the careers that bring us money and the expenses that take it away. We talk about our favorite shops and restaurants, the causes we support, the place we’ve been and seen. We share dreams that only money can make real.In short, we talk about everything but money itself. In daily life, money is still a major conversational taboo (禁忌). This is a shame, because money is as interesting as the things it does and buys, and the more you know about it, the more interesting it is.(81)As a financial advisor, I’ve seen hundreds of people learn to control the ir money instead of letting it control them and watched as they increased their freedom, power and security byhandling money consciously. Wouldn’t you like to know that you’ll always have enough money to live exactly as you want to?You’ll never be powerful in life until you’re powerful over your own money. Talking openly about it is the first step.41.Which of the following is NOT discussed when we talk about money?A.The careers that bring us money.B.The causes we support.C.The dreams that only money can make real.D.Money itself.42.What can we know form from the second paragraph?A.We should know more about money itself rather than avoid talking about it.B.Money itself can interest us and bring us happiness.C.The more money we earn, the more we should know about it.D.It is a shame that people talk too much about money.43.What does the writer want to say in the third paragraph?A.People should learn how to make money.B.People should know the value of money.C.People should learn to control their money.D.People should know how to use money to increase their power.44.The writer’s advice is that .A.the more you talk about money, the more you can control itB.we should learn to be a good master of our money if we want to be powerful in lifeC.we should not be so worried about money if we want to have a free lifeD.the more money you have, the more powerful you are45.What will the writer probably talk about after the last paragraph?A.The importance of money.B.Money, power and security.C.The other steps for people to control moneyD.The steps for people make moneyPassage TwoA question often put to the specialist on fishes is “How long do fishes live?” This puts the specialist in an embarrassing because he is often unable to give a direct answer to this simple question.But actually this question is not as simple as it seems. There are thousands of different kinds of fishes, and they vary a great deal in size and life span. Moreover, it is not easy to find out just how long a fish lives in its natural state.We can find out how old a fish is by studying its scales, but we cannot say how much more time it would live if we had not caught it.We may rear fishes and record their life span but we cannot be sure that this is the length of time they would have lived, had they been left alone.We may make marking to show how fast the fishes grow so that we can calculate the age of the largest on record , but unless this large fish dies of old age we are still not in a position to know its natural life span .(81)Unlike human beings , fishes do not stop growing when they reach maturity (成熟). They continue to grow as long as they live, although the rate of growth slows down in mature fishes.46.People often ask the specialist on fishes regarding its .A.sizeB. LifeC. ageD. variety47.The specialist is embarrassed by the question because .A.he does not know the answerB. there is no answer to the questionC. it is a silly and simple question for himD. there is no definite answer to this question48.We can know a fish’s age from its .A.weightB. sizeC. scalesD. length49.Which of the following statements is NOT true?A.Different kinds of fishes have different life spans.B.It is hard for the specialist to know the length of time a fish lives in its natural state.C.Mature fishes grow more quickly than young one.D.The specialist makes marking to know the rate of fishes so that they know the age of the largest ones.50.Human being, unlike fishes, .A.stop growing when they reach maturityB. grow faster after maturingC. Continue to grow as long as they liveD. have a short life spanPassage ThreeWe find that bright children are rarely held back by mixed-ability teaching. On the contrary, both their knowledge and experience are enriched. We feel that there are many disadvantages in streaming (把按能力分班) pupils . It does not take into account the fact that children develop at different rates. It can have a bad effect on both the bright and the not-so-bright child. After all, it can be quite discouraging to be at the bottom of the top grade!Besides, it is rather unreal to grade pupils just according to their intellectual ability. This is only one aspect of their total personality. (83) We are concerned to develop the abilities of all our pupils to the full, not just their academic ability. We also value personal qualities and social skills, and we find that mixed-ability teaching contributes to all these aspects of learning.In our classrooms, we work in various ways .The pupils often work in groups: this gives them the opportunity to learn to co-operate, to share, and to develop leadership skills. (84) They also learn how to cope with personal problems as well as learning how to think, to make decisions, to analyze and evaluate, and to communicate effectively. The pupils learn from each other as well as from the teacher.Sometimes the pupils work in pairs; sometimes they work on individual tasks and assignment, and they can to this at their own speed. They also have some formal class teaching when this is appropriate. We encourage our pupils to use the library, and we teach them the stills they need in order to do this efficiently. An advanced pupil can do advanced work: it does not matter what age the child is. We expect our pupils to do their best, not their least, and we give them every encouragement to attain this goal.51.In the passage the author’s attitude towards “mixed-ability teaching” is .A.criticalB. approvingC. questioningD. objective52.By “held back” (line 1, Para .1) the author means .A.made to remain in the same classesB. forced to study in the lower classesC. drawn to their studiesD. prevented from advancing53.The author argues that a teacher’s chief concern should be the development of thestudent’s.A.Personal qualities and social skills learning ability and communicative skillsB.Total personality learning ability and communicative skillsC.learning ability and communicative skillsD.intellectual ability54.Which of following is NOT MENTIONED in the third paragraph?A.Group work gives pupils the opportunity to learn to work together with other.B.Pupils also learn to develop their reasoning abilities.C .Group work provides pupils with the opportunity to learn to be capable organizers.D .Pupils also learn how to participate in teaching activities,55.The author’ purpose in writing this passage is to .A.argue for teaching bright and not-so-bright pupils in the same classB.recommend pair work and group work for classroom activitiesC.offer advice on the proper use of the libraryD.emphasize the importance of appropriate formal classroom teachingPassage Four(85) Prices determine how resources are to be used. They are also the means by which products and services that are in limited supply are distributed among buyers.The price system of the United States is a very complex network composed of the pricesof all the products bought and sold in the economy as well as those of numerous services, including labor ,professional transportation, and public-utility services. The prices of any particular product or service are linked to a broad, complicated system of prices of any particular product or service are linked to a broad, complicated system of prices in which everything seems to depend more or less on everything else.If one were to ask randomly（随机地） a group of individuals to define“price”, many would reply that price is an amount of money paid by the buyer to the buyer to the seller of a product or service as agreed upon in a market transaction（交易）. This definition is, of course, valid as faras it goes. For a complete understanding of a price in any particular transaction, much more than the amount of money involved must be known. Both the buy and the seller shouldbe familiar with not only the money amount, but with the amount and quality of the product or service to be exchanged, the time and place at which the exchange will take place and the payment will be made, the form of money to on the product or service, delivery terms, return privileges, and other factors that comprise the total“package”being exchanged for the asked-for amount in order that they may evaluate a given price.56.According to the passage, the price system is related primarily to .bor and educationB. transportation and insuranceC. utilities and repairsD. products and services57.According to the passage, which of the following is NOT factor in the complete understandingof price?A.Instructions that come with a product.B. The quantity of a product.C. The quality of a product.D. Guarantees that come with a product.58.In the last sentence of the passage, the word“they”refers to .A.return privilegesB. all the factorsC. the buyer and the sellerD. money59.The paragraph following the passage likely discusses .A.unusual ways to advertise productB.types of payment plans for serviceC.theories about how products affect difficult levels of societyD.how certain elements of price “package” influence its market value60.What is the best title of the passage?A.The Inherent Weakness in the Price SystemB.The complexities of the Price SystemC.Credit Terms in TransactionsD.Resource Distribution and the Public SectorIII.Cloze Test (20 分)Directions: There are 20 blanks in the following passage. For each blank there are four choices marked A, B, C and D below the passage. You should choose the ONE that best fits into the passage.

There were a 62 very rich people 63 received money from land or investment, and did not need to work.They used to have large 64 of servants to look 65 them. There were also many middle class people, who worked as businessmen or as doctors or lawyers. They usually had several servants to 66 their houses and cook their meals.But there were also many poor people, and there was a big 67 between the rich and the poor.The poor had very difficult lives. Many worked as servants. They used to be 68 little, and they had to work long hours. But at least they lived in warm house and were well 69.70 who worked in factories were often less 71. They used to work many hours a day, in dangerous and unhealthy conditions. But, even so, they did not use to 72 enough to feed their families. They often lived in slums which were built cheaply by the factory owners.The 73 paid people were those who worked 74 the farms. At certain times of the year, they did not use to earn 75 because there was no work 76 them to do.Life for the poor was not was not always bad. There kind farmers and factory owners who helped there workers. And many people were 77 about the poor. One of them was Charles Dickens, the famous British writer.

The reader puts questions, as it were, to the text and gets answers. In the 61 of these he puts further questions, and so on.For most of the time this “conversation”goes on 62 the level consciousness. At times,63 , we become aware of it. This is usually when we are running 64 difficulties, when mismatch is occurring between 65 and meaning. When successful matching is being 66 , our questioning of the text 67 at the unconscious level.Different people converse 68 the text differently. Some stay very 69 to the Words on the page; 70 take off imaginatively from the words, interpreting, criticizing, analyzing and examining. 71 represents a kind of comprehension which is Written in the text. The latter represents 72 levels of comprehension. The 73 between these is important, especially for the advanced reader.There is another conversation which from our point of 74 is equally important, And that is to 75 not with what is read but with how it is read . We call this a “process” conversation as 76 to a“content”conversation. It is concerned not with meaning bur with the strategies we 77 in reading. If we are an advanced reader our ability to hold a process conversation with a text is usually pretty well 78 . It is 79 this kind of conversation that is of importance when we are 80 to develop our reading to meet the new demands being placed upon us by studying at a high level.61.A. answer B. light C. meaning D. weight62.A. at B. below C. on D. of63.A. at B. so C. but D. also64.A. off B. away C. into D. on65.A. expectations B. wishes C. hopes D. predictions66.A. witnessed B. undergone C. experienced D. practiced67.A. lasts B. moves C. carries D. continues68.A. with B. in C. to D. by69.A. tight B. close C. closed D. near70.A. another B. other C. others D. the other71.A. front B. form C. above D. former72.A. longer B. lower C. taller D. higher73.A. parallel B. similarity C. equality D. balance74.A. opinion B. idea C. view D. thought75.A. deal B. relate C. do D. concern76.A. opposed B. contrasted C. compared D. objected77.A. operate B. employ C. exert D. hire78.A. formed B. made C. developed D. shaped79.A. totally B. precisely C. looking D. expectingIV.Translation (20 分)Section A.
