In the schools of Ancient Greece and Rome, testing usually consisted of saying poetry aloud or giving speeches.In the European universities of the Middle Ages, students whowere working for advanced degrees had to discuss questions in their field of study with people who had made a special study of the subject. This custom exists today as part of the process of testing candidates (考生) for the doctor‘s degree.Generally , however, modern examinations are written. The written examination, where all Students are tested on the on the same questions,was probably not known until the nineteenth century.Perhaps it came into existence with the great increase in populationand the development of modern Industry, A room full of candidates for a state examination, timed exactly by electric clocks and Carefully watched over by managers, resembles a group of workers at an automobilefactory. Certainly, , during examinations teachers and students are expected to actlike machines.One type of test ins sometimes called an objective test . It isintended to deal with facts, not personal opinions. To make up an objective test the teacher writhes a series of questions, each of which has only one correct answer. Along with each question the teacher writes the correct answer and also three statements that look like answers to students who have not learned the material properly.31. In the Middle Ages students()A. took objective testsB. were timed by electric clocksC. specialized in one subjectD. never wrote exams32. The main idea of paragraph 3 is that ()A. workers now take examinationsB. the population has grownC. there are only written exams todayD. examinations are now written and timed33. The kind of exams where students must select answers are ()A. personalB. spokenC. objectiveD. written34.

It may be concluded that testing()A. should test only opinionsB. has hanged since the Middle AgesC. should always be writtenD. is given only in factoriesTask 2For millions of people around the world, the very word "Christmas" brings warmth and joy to their hearts and homes. To some, it is simply a very popular holiday. But for many, it honors the birth of Jesus Christ. Here is a brief history of Christmas and some of the traditions connected with it.Why December 25th?Well, during the first two centuries after Jesus' death, Christmas wasnot celebrated at all. Various attempts were made to determine the date of birth of Jesus, and at first, May 20th became the favored date. By the middle of the fourth century, however, Pope Julius selected December25th as the day on which to celebrate Christ's birth. Before that, December 25th had been a widely celebrated day in the Roman world. On that date, people honored a Roman sun god. Many modern Christmas customs, such as having a tree in the house and preparing special meals, came from this ancient celebration.Let's decorate the tree!The Christmas tree tradition was started in Germany in the late fifteenth century. At that time, there was a popular theater play which included afir tree hung with apples. Today, more than 80 percent of American families buy and decorate a tree at Christmas.How many Christmas cards do you usually send?The first commercial Christmas cards were made in London in 1843. A rich man paid an artist to design a card. He then proudly sent it to his friends and relatives to wish them a "Merry Christmas." It was a good idea and it soon caught on. Today, Americans exchange millions of Christmas cards every year.Santa Claus is coming to town!St. Nicholas was the original Santa Claus or "Father Christmas". He was widely known as a kind man who loved children. After his death, a story developed that he used to visit children on Christmas Eve and give them presents. When the Dutch people came to live in America many years ago, they brought their St. Nicholas, or Sinter Klaas in Dutch, with them. Sinter Klaas is therefore where we get the name Santa Claus.What's in that stocking?According to the story, the practice of hanging up stockings is connected with St. Nicholas. It is believed that St. Nicholas learned about a man who was hopelessly in debt. He also learned that the man and his daughters were about to be sold as slaves. Nicholas went to the man's home at night and threw a bag of gold through the man's window. The bag of gold landed in one of the daughters' stockings that had been hungup to dry.Today, all the above traditions are still kept as ways of celebrating Christmas.36. Lots of people celebrate Christmas to()A. show respect for Jesus ChristB. get warmth and joyC. spend money while shoppingD. spend money while shopping37. According to Paragraph 3, which of the following is NOTtrue? ()A. People tried many times to decide the date of birth of Jesus.B. People tried many times to decide the date of birth of Jesus.C. December 25th used to be a day on which to show respect to a Roman sun god.D. Christmas was celebrated widely soon after Jesus' death.38. What does "it soon caught on" in Paragraph 7 mean? ()A. It was not allowed by the people in London.B. It was popular among the people.C. It was not welcomed by the man's relatives and friends.D. It was very expensive.39. From the text, we can learn that the story of Father Christmas may come from()A. the GermansB. the RomansC. the DutchD. the Americans40. Why does Father Christmas put the presents in the stockings? ()A. Because he doesn't know where to put the presents.B. Because the stockings are good places for the presents.C. Because he wants children to spend time finding them.D. Because the gold thrown by St. Nicholas happened to fall in the stockings.Task 3Even the most powerful computer in the world can't be a genius because it has no character. It can remember and calculate quickly andaccurately, and handle great amounts of information—but it can't think about the information like we can. It has no feelings, no opinions, no moments of madness.Study the great human geniuses and you'll see that they all have special parts to their character, qualities that allow them to go beyond everything previously achieved. Their lives hold many of the secrets to having great ideas and putting them into practice. To be a genius you need to:—Have fun. Leonardo da Vinci was well known for his jokes and funny stories. Galileo had a busy social life and was another great joker. Bill Gates, the world's richest man, and the genius behind Microsoft, has been described as "a big teenager". He once said that one of his favorite hobbies was playing with earthmoving equipment on building sites! —Be curious. Geniuses spend their lives asking questions about the world around them.Leonardo da Vinci filled many notebooks with his questions that he wanted to answer. Here is one passage from his notebook:"I wandered about the countryside searching for answers to things I did not understand: why shells existed on the tops of mountains... why thunder lasts longer than that which causesit... how the various circles of water form around the spot that has been struck by a stone... how a bird flies..."—Be brave. Geniuses simply can't be afraid of making mistakes. Orville and Wilbur Wright had many crashes and ruined many planes before they finally got off the ground. Inventor Thomas Edison failed thousands of times before he managed to turn electricity into light. He told his friends that, because he knew so many ways that didn't work, he was much closer than any other inventor to finding the right answer! Geniuses must also be prepared to shock people. New ideas can seem strange and even frightening to others, and great thinkers are often described as being odd and foolish.—Keep trying. Thomas Edison once said that genius was "onepercent inspiration and ninety-nine percent perspiration".To become a genius you must be prepared to work long and hard, often in the face of great difficulties.—Be inspired. The answers you're looking for may be close by—you just have to know where to look. Travel is another good source of inspiration. Mozart picked up many good musical ideas during his travels. While still a teenager, Albert Einstein persuaded his parents to let him tour the main cities of Italy. He came back with some exciting ideas. —Stay fit. An ancient saying goes, "A healthy mind in a healthy body". So it's very important for your body to be operating at its best so that your mind can also function powerfully.As well as being a philosopher, poet and politician, Sophocles wasalso a champion in sports and won many prizes. Leonardo da Vinci was famous for his strength and special ability in riding horses.So it is clear then, that to be a genius is to push the limits, in your mind, and beyond.41. The passage is mainly about _________.A. the qualities of geniusesB. the lives of geniusesC. the hobbies of geniusesD. the ideas of geniuses42. One thing that was NOT true about Leonardo da Vinci is that_______.A. his notebooks were full of his questionsB. he liked telling jokesC. he enjoyed playing on the building sitesD. he was very skillful at riding horses .43. Great thinkers are often considered to be strange and silly because_______.A. they have strange living habitsB. her college friends their ideas seem strange and frighteningC. doctorsthey have unusual charactersD. they behave in strange ways44. According to the text, travel is good in that it brings people _______.A. great fun.B. great funC. rich experiencesD. new and fresh ideas45. Your mind will work most efficiently if you ______.A. take exercises regularlyB. take exercises regularlyC. have a healthy bodyD.

Denmark voted no in 2000.British Labor party member Chris Bryant, who is chairman of the Labor Movement for Europe, says that more than half of Britain’s trade is with Europe, and he hopes Britain will be joining the euro as soon as possible. British Prime Minister Tony Blair had said previously his government is committed in principle to joining the euro, provided that economic conditions are right.In Sweden, meanwhile, euro opponents have hailed the defeat of the single currency. The leader of the Left Party, Ulla Hoffman said the people have made it clear democracy comes from the bottom, not from above .The Left Party, along with the environmentalist Greens, fought against the euro. But Prime Minister Goran Persson, who led the movement for the euro, said Sweden would have worse opportunities without the common currency in the long term.Euro supporters say that it would have improved trade with the 12-nation zone that uses the euro, and that a no vote would leave Sweden without a voice in EU economic decisions Critics said the euro would mean higher prices and less money for Sweden’s cradle-to-grave welfare system.36.Among the following persons, who is a euro opponent according to the passage?A.

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 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 successful. Couples go through physically and emotionally painful procedures 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 children and adults suffering from leukemia(白血病).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 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.41.Heart attacks can be treated with human cloning technology by ______.A. removing the each other for longB. repairing the heart with cells cloned from healthy onesC. replacing the old heart with a cloned oneD. giving the patients injections of various medicines42.The word “infertile”, in paragraph 2,most probably means______.A. separated from each other for longB. with physical and emotional problemsC. short of time and moneyD. unable to give birth to a child43.According to the passage, one of the first expected benefits from cloning technology may be in _____.A. the cure of blood diseasesB. the bearing of babiesC. the treatment of heart attacksD. the treatment of cancer44.Cancer may be cured with the cloning technology by _____.A. attacking the diseased cells with healthy onesB. detecting disordered genes in the cancer cellsC. controlling the growth of the cellsD. activating cancer cells by switching them on45.According to the writer, the main problem with the development of human cloning technology is that_____.A. people are afraid of such technologyB. it has brought about few benefits so farC. people still know little about itD. its benefits are very limitedPassage FourYour boss holds your future prospects in his hands. Some bosses are hard to get along with. Some have excellent qualifications but no idea when it comes to dealing with people. Of course, not all bosses are like that.The relationship you have with your boss can be a major factor in determining your rise up the career ladder. Your boss is not only your leader, he is also the person best equipped to help you do the job you are paid to do. He can inform you of company direction that may affect your professional development.Your boss also needs you to perform at your best in order to accomplish his objectives. He needs your feedback in order to provide realistic and useful reports to upper management. But how does this help you establish a meaningful working relationship with your boss?The key is communication. Learn and understand his goals priorities. Observe and understand your boss’s work style. If he has not been clear with his expectations, ask! Likewise, ask for feedback and accept criticism gracefully. And if he understand that you do not view your job as just something to fill the hours between 9 and 5, he may be more likely to help you.In short, getting along with your boss requires getting to know his likes and dislikes and learning to work with his personality and management style.46.The main idea of the first paragraph is that______.A. bosses are hard to deal withB. bosses have good characterC. bosses must have similar personalityD. bosses determine your career future47.In the second paragraph, “rise up the career ladder” means_____.A. going to work abroadB. being promoted in positionC. changing jobs frequentlyD. pursuing an advanced degree48.In order to achieve his objectives, your boss expects that you will_____.A. get along with your colleaguesB. show your management skillsC. do your best in your workD. write reports to upper management49.The most important factor for establishing a good working relationship with the boss is_____.A. high expectationsB. effective communicationC. frequent criticismD. quick feedback50.

To keep up with their work, they must read letters, reports, trade publications, interoffice communications, not to mention newspapers and magazines: a never-ending flood of words. In___51___ a job or advancing in one, the ability to read and comprehend___52___can mean the difference between success and failure. Yet the unfortunate fact is that most of us are ___53___readers.

The accelerator forces the reader to read fast,___64___word-by-word reading, regression and subvocalization, practically impossible. At fist___65___is sacrificed for speed.

The next building was only a few feet away from mine. There was a woman living there, and I had _31_ met her, yet I could see her sic by her window each afternoon, sewing or reading.Several months later, I began to notice that her window was dirty._32_ was unclear through the dirty window. I would say to myself .“I _33_ why that woman doesn’t wipe her window. It really looks terrible.”One bright morning I decided to _34_ my flat, including wiping the windows on the inside. Late in the afternoon when I finished the work, I sat down by the window with a cup of coffee for a rest. What a (an)_35_! Across the way, the woman sitting by her window was _36_ visible. Her window was clean.Then it dawned (明⽩)on me. I have been criticizing (批评)her dirty window, but all the time I was watching hers through my dirty window.That was quite an important lesson for me. How _37_ had I looked at and criticized _38_ through my own shortcomings? Since then, whenever I want to _39_ someone, I try to clean the window of my own in order that I may see the _40_ about me more clearly.31. A. never B. always C. often D. sometimes32. A. Everyone B.

But his boss told him not to think more about the idea. Drew didn’t stop and, using his own time, finally made a kind of tape, which was used by many people later. And his company learned from its _43_, Now the company asks its workers to _44_15% of their work time just thinking about and developing new ideas.Creativity is not something one is just born with. Creativity is the matter of _45_ your intelligence to think of new ideas that are good for something.We know that many schools have tried to develop students’ creativity, _46_ some teachers only want to develop st udents’reading, writing and math skills, and have to give up creativity for correct answers. Children from such schools can give correct answers, but they are unable to use them to work out problems.It is important _47_ children choices. From the earliest age, children should learn to make decisions and understand their_48_.

They say more Americans need to take a nap—that is to rest for a short period in the middle of the day. They give people advice to sleep lightly before continuing with other activities. The experts say naps might improve health by reducing pressure.Some European and Latin American companies have supported the idea of napping for many years. They ask people to leave work, go home and have a nap before returning. In the United States, some companies let workers rest simply in their offices. They believe this can help workers make fewer mistakes and also increase the amount of work that a person can do. Sleep experts say it is likely that people make more mistakes at work than at other time. They suggest that people should not carry out important tasks when they feel sleepy. And they believe the best thing to do is to take a nap. About 20 minutes of rest is all you need. Experts say this provides extra energy and can increase your efficiency until the end of the day. Bat they point out that a nap should last no more than 20 to 30 minutes. A longer nap will put the body into deep sleep and waking up will be difficult.56.

The advantages of deep sleep during weekends.C. The disadvantages of deep sleep during weekends.D. The disadvantages of taking a nap during the day.Questions 61-65 are based on the fallowing passage:Indonesia is my mother’s homeland and one of my favorite countries. Since I was young, Ihave learned a lot about the country and become interested in it. For a long time I had wanted to do something for the country and people there, and I thought volunteering (做志愿者)would be a good and fun way to do so.I received the greatest pleasure from being with the children.Teaching my first English class in Aeeh was exciting but I was rather nervous. As time passed by, I learned how to be a better teacher. Teaching was actually the most enjoyable of my many responsibilities (责任).Many children were shy at first. But when they relaxed, they would start talking and telling you a lot of funny things. I believed we were helping them build up their confidence.For the children who are more in need, the Education Program (TEP) will collect donations (募捐)to help them.As a volunteer, I had to visit TEP children at home once a month and help them write a thank-you letter to their sponsors.

He’d need a fan or a strong wind to help him putthem out.While many people in China will remember Confucius on his special day, few people in the United States will give him a passing thought, because it’s nothing personal. Most Americans don’t even remember the birthdays of their own national heroes.But this doesn’t mean that Americans don’t care about Confucius. In many ways he hasbecome a bridge that foreigners muse cross if they want to reach a deeper understanding of China.In the past two decades, the Chinese Study Programs have gained large popularity in Western universities. More recently, the Chinese government has set up Confucius Institutes in more than 80 countries. These schools teach both Chinese language and culture. The main courses of Chinese culture usually include Chinese art, history and philosophy ( 哲学). Some social scientists suggest that Westerners should take advantage of the ancient Chinese wisdomto make up for the drawbacks (缺陷) of Western philosophy. Students in the United States, atthe same time, are racing to learn Chinese. Businessmen who hope to make money in China are reading books about Confucius to understand their Chinese customers.Today China attracts the West more than ever, and more teachers are needed to introduce Confucius and Chinese culture to the West.66.

Part I Reading Comprehension (60 marks, 60 minutes)Section A (每小题2分)Format ⅠDirections:There are 4 passages in this part. Each passage is followed by five questions. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C, and D. You should decide on the best choice and blacken the corresponding letter on Answer Sheet.(40 marks)Passage OneQuestions 1 to 5 are based on the following passage:Have you ever wondered where the first doughnut(炸面圈) was made? Who thought up the idea of a fried cake with a hole in the center?No one knows for sure who made the first doughnut. Some people think that doughnuts probably began in the 1800s as Dutch “olykoeks” or “oily cakes.” In those days, a cook would not want to waste any scraps of food. Leftover pieces of bread dough(生面团) were put into hot oil and fried. Olykoeks were tasty on the outside, but soft and uncooked in the center.Some people say that the mother of a New England sea captain invented the first real doughnut. Her name was Elizabeth Gregory. She replaced the soft center with spices and nuts. But,英语试题第1页共14页Elizabe th’s son, Captain Gregory, did not like nuts. He punched out the center, and the consequence was the first hole in a doughnut.Others say the real story is that Captain Gregory had difficulty steering his ship while trying to eat doughnuts. He asked the s hip’s cook to make his doughnuts with holes so he could hang them on the steering wheel! Others think that Captain Gregory saw holed cakes in Europe and brought the idea back to America with him.During World War I, homesick American soldiers in Europe were served doughnuts by the Salvation Army. These brave women volunteering for the job were called “Doughnut Girls.” They often worked in dangerous conditions near the soldiers, so the Doughnut Girls wore helmets and uniforms. The women made doughnut cutters out of a large can with a smaller can inside it to cut out the hole. They could set up a kettle of hot oil to fry the dough almost anywhere.In the 1920s, doughnut machines were invented. Doughnuts were produced faster and easier than ever before. Still, many people preferred to make their favorite doughnuts at home.1. The passage is mainly about ______.A. the popularity of doughnutsB. the history of doughnutsC. the inventors of doughnutsD. the types of doughnuts2. The first Dutch “olykoek” came in to being probably because ______.A. people did not like to eat fried foodB. cooks did not like to waste leftover foodC. Dutchmen liked oil cakes very muchD. cooks liked the soft center of cakes3. What was used to replace the uncooked center to improve doughnuts?A. Scraps of food.B. Jelly filling.C. Spices and nuts.D. Leftover bread dough.4. In paragraph 3, the word “consequence” probably means ______.A. actionB. damageC. problemD. result5. What can be inferred about the Doughnut Girls during World War I?A. They worked aboard a ship.B. They worked near battlefields.C. They used untested machines.D. They used helmets to cook doughnuts. Passage Two英语试题第2页共14页Questions 6 to 10 are based on the following passage:It is a blow for the Ugly Bettys and Plain Janes — research shows that good looks lead to better pay. A study of 4,000 young men and women found that beauty boosted pay checks more than intelligence. Those judged to be the most attractive earned up to 10 percent more than their less attractive friends and colleagues. Applied to the average salary of £25,000 a year, the “plainness penalty (处罚)” would make a difference of £2,500 a year —or around £50 a week.It is unclear what is behind the phenomenon but it may be that beauty creates confidence. The self-confident may appear to be doing better than they are and will not hesitate about asking for a pay rise.Researcher Jason Fletcher, of Yale University in the U.S., rated the attractiveness of the 4,000 men and women. Just over half were judged average, while 7 percent were felt to be very attractive and 8 percent were judged unattractive or very unattractive. The volunteers also sat an IQ test and reported their salary. It became clear that pay scales were far from fair. For instance, a 14-point increase on the IQ score was associated with a 3 to 6 percent increase in wage. But being of above-average looks increased pay by 5 to 10 percent.For a plain person to be paid the same as a very attractive one, they would have to be 40 percent brighter, the journal Economics Letters reports.Dr Fletcher said: “The results do show that people’s looks have an impact on their wages and it can be very important.”6. What is the “plainness penalty”?A. To be paid less for being ordinarily-looking.B. To be laughed at for being ordinarily-looking.C. To be fired for being ordinarily-looking.D. To be questioned for being ordinarily-looking.7. What’s the average annual salary of a good-looking person?A. £2,500.B. £25,000.C. £22,500.D. £27,500.8. Good-looking people are paid more probably because ______.英语试题第3页共14页A. they look smarterB. they have higher degreesC. they are better at pleasing othersD. they are more confident9. How many people were rated as very attractive in Jason Fletcher’s study?A. About 280B. About 4,000C. About 2,000D. About 32010. Which of the following best summarizes the main idea of the passage?A. IQ is less important than appearance.B. Confidence makes people prettier.C. Good looks earn an extra penny.D. How Plain Janes get a higher salary.Passage ThreeQuestions 11 to 15 are based on the following passage:Were you constantly bored as a child? Maybe that helped you to develop your ability to be creative.Boredom can be a good thing for children, according to Dr Teresa Belton, researcher at the University of East Anglia’s School of Education and Lifelong Learning. After interviewing authors, artists and scientists in Britain, she’s reached the conclusion that cultural expectations that children should be constantly active could block the development of their imagination.British actress and writer Meera Syal grew up in a small mining village with few distractions. The researcher said: “Lack of things to do urged her to talk to people she wouldn’t otherwise have engaged with and try activities she wouldn’t, under other circumstances, have experienced, such as talking to elderly neighbors and learning to bake cakes.”Belton added: “Boredom made her write. Meera Syal kept a diary from a young age, filling it with observations, shor t stories, poems.”The researcher didn’t ignore the old saying the devil finds work for idle hands, though. Belton pointed out that young people who don’t have the interior resources to deal with boredom creatively may end up smashing up bus shelters or taking cars out for a joyride.How about watching TV and videos on the computer? The researcher believes that nothing replaces standing and staring at things and observing your surroundings.It’s the sort of thing that stimulates the imagination, she said, while the screen “tends to short circuit that process and the development of creative capacity”.Dr Belton concluded: “For the sake of creativity, perhaps we need to slow down and stay英语试题第4页共14页offline from time to time.”11. Dr Teresa Belton did her research by ______.A. studying cultural differencesB. interviewing professionalsC. keeping a diaryD. observing the surroundings12. Which of the following best describes the village where Meera Syal grew up?A. Modern and open.B. Tiny and unexciting.C. Poor and underdeveloped.D. Remote and violent.13. The expression “the devil finds work for idle hands” probably means that people are more likely to ______.A. do what they should not do if they meet devilsB. achieve nothing if they work with devilsC. do more work if they didn’t work hard when they were youngD. get involved in trouble if they have nothing to do with their time14. What is Dr Belton’s advice for youngsters?A. Observe the world around them.B. Get information online from time to time.C. Remain constantly active.D. Read as many books as possible.15. Which of the following is the best title for the passage?A. Deal with boredom wisely.B. Learn from a young age.C. Enjoy village life.D. Forget old sayings.Passage Four英语试题第5页共14页Questions 16 to 20 are based on the following passage:During her junior year of high school, Candice Backus’s teacher handed her a sheet and instructed the 17-year-old to map out her future financial life. Backus pretended to buy a car, rent an apartment, and apply for a cre dit card. Then, she and her classmates played the “stock market game,” investing the hypothetical(假设的) earnings from their hypothetical jobs in the market in the fateful fall of 2008. “Our pretend investments crashed,” Backus says, still horrified. “We fel t what actual shareholders were feeling.”That pain of earning and losing money is a feeling that public schools increasingly want to teach. Forty states now offer some types of financial instruction at the elementary or high-school level, including lessons in balancing checkbooks(支票本) and buying stock in math and social-studies classes. The interest in personal-finance classes has risen since 2007 when bank failures became a regular occurrence.Rather than teach investment strategies, these courses offer a basic approach to handling money: Don’t spend what you don’t have. Put part of your monthly salary into a savings account, and invest in the stock market for the long-term rather than short-term gains. For Backus, this means dividing her earnings from her part-time job at a fast-food restaurant into separate envelopes for paying bills, spending, and saving. “Money is so hard to make but so easy to spend,” she says one weekday after school.After Backus finished her financial classes, she opened up a savings account at her local bank and started to think more about how she and her family would pay for college. “She just has a better understanding of money and how it affects the world,” says her mother, Darleen. All of this talk of money can make Backus worry, she says, but luckily, she feels prepared to face it.16. The purpose of the high school class’s “stock market game” is to ______.A. introduce a new courseB. encourage personal savingsC. learn about investmentD. teach credit card hazards17. Student interest in taking classes on finance has increased because of ______.A. the state of the economyB. the need for employmentC. the rate of graduationD. the desire to purchase cars18. According to the passage, taking money management courses will help young people to英语试题第6页共14页______.A. get accepted by collegesB. become very wealthyC. take more vacationsD. prevent from going into debt19. After Candice Backus completed the class about money, she ______.A. is debt freeB. manages the family incomeC. will graduate earlyD. feels more competent20. The author’s attitude toward financial classes in public schools is ______.A. positiveB. criticalC. objectiveD. worriedFormat ⅡDirections: In the following passage, some sentences have been removed.

In 2009, nearly twice as many American men died from skin cancers as women. Surveys show that 34 percent of men wear sunscreens, compared to 78 percent of women.● Got your vitamin D?

But, at nearly 500 years of age, time is catching up with the Mona Lisa.The health of the famous picture, painted by Leonardo da Vinci in 1505, is gettingworse by the year, according to the Louver Museum where it is housed.“The thin, wooden panel(画板)on which the Mona Lisa is painted in oil has changed shape since experts checked it two years ago,” the museum said. Visitors have noticed changes but repairing the world’s most famous painting is not easy. Experts are not sure about the materials the Italian artist used and their current chemical state.Nearly 6 million people go to see the Mona Lisa every year, many attracted by the mystery of her smile. “It is very interesting that when you’re not looking at her, she seems to be smiling, and then you look at her and she stops,” said Professor Margaret Livingstone of Harvard University. “It’s because direct vision is excellent a t picking up details, but less suited to looking at shadows(阴影). Da Vinci painted the smile in shadows.”Da Vinci himself loved it so much that he always carried it with him, until it was eventually sold to France’s King Francis I in 1519.During World War Ⅱ, French hid the painting in small towns to keep it out of the hands of German forces.Like many old ladies, the Mona Lisa has some interesting stories to tell.31. In the first paragraph, “catching up with” means _____________.A. coming up from behindB. getting along withC. making up forD. having effect on32. It is difficult to repair this painting due to ___________.A. painting materialB. wooden panelC. long historyD. good name33. Mona Lisa is smiling when you look ___________.A. at herB. from the corner of your eyesC. into the shadowsD. for details34. Para. 4 is mainly about __________.A. the history of the Mona LisaB. the condition of the Mona LisaC. the secret of Mona Lisa’s smileD. the secret of Mona Lisa35. During World War II the famous painting was in ________.A. ItalyB. FranceC. BritainD. GermanyPassage 2Telephone, television, radio, and the Internet help people communicate with each other. Because of these devices, ideas and news of events spread quickly all over the world. For example, within seconds, people can know the results of an election in another country. An international football match comes into the homes of everyone with a television set. News of a disaster, such as a flood, can bring help from distant countries. Within hours, help is on the way. This is because modern technology information travels fast.How has this speed of communication changed the world? To many people, the world has become smaller. Of course, this does not mean that the world is actually physically smaller. It means that the world seems smaller. Two hundred years ago, communication between the continents took a long time. All news was carried on ships that took weeks or even months to cross the oceans. In the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries, it took six weeks for news from Europe to reach the Americas. This time difference influenced people's actions. For example, a few battles in the war of 1812 between England and the United States could have been avoided. A peace agreement had already been signed. Peace was made in England, but the news of peace took six weeks to reach America. During these six weeks, the large and serious Battle of New Orleans was fought. Many people lost their lives after a peace treaty had been signed. They would not have died if news had come in time. In the past, communication took much more time than it does now. There was a good reason why the world seemed so much larger than it does today.36. Thanks to ________, we can gain brand-new ideas and news of events from all over the world.A. modern technologyB. EuropeC. ocean travelD. disasters37. What attitude did the writer hold to the people who died in the War of 1812?A. Curious.B. Amazed.C. Sympathetic.D. Angry.38. What took six weeks a couple of hundred years ago?A. The War of 1812 between the US and England.B. Agreeing on peace during the War of 1812.C. The Battl e of New Orleans that wasn’t avoided.D. Ocean travel between Europe and America.39. Some battles in the war between England and America could have been avoided if ________.A. people had signed the peace agreement soonerB. the peace agreement had reached America earlierC. the peace agreement had not been lost on the wayD. people of the two countries had taken some action40. Which is the most appropriate title for this passage?A. Modern Technology and CommunicationB. People Today in the Small WorldC. The Unnecessary War of 1812D. People in the Information AgePassage 3On a summer afternoon in 1795, a teenage boy named Daniel McGinnis was exploring a tiny island off the eastern coast of Canada. He was walking through a meadow (草地) of tall grass when he noticed something strange. In the center of meadow was a huge oak (橡树) tree. The ground beneath it was lower than the surrounding ground.Daniel knew that pirates (海盗) had once sailed in the waters around the island. The next day Daniel returned to the island with shovels (铲子) and two friends. The boys began digging and soon discovered a layer of stones. Under the stones was a hole about four meters wide. It was filled with loose dirt. The boys kept digging for several days. Three meters below the ground their shovels hit an oak floor. They kept digging.But when they discovered another oak floor nine meters below the ground, they decided that they couldn’t dig any deeper.Eight years later, Daniel McGinnis returned with a group of men to continue digging beneath the oak tree. One evening, 30 meters below the ground, their shovels hit a large wooden box. The box had to be a treasure chest (大箱子)! The men went home to rest until daylight. When they returned in the morning, there was an unpleasant surprise—the hole had filled with water. The men couldn’t remove the water.During the following 200 years, dozens of search groups have dug in the hole, but each group only made the hole bigger. The hole that was once four meters wide isnow enormous. The oak tree is now gone. Where is the hole Daniel McGinnis found? Today nobody knows for sure, and there is still the problem of water in the hole.41. Daniel McGinnis _______.A. had ancestors who were piratesB. was curious about the valuable treasure of piratesC. was a pirate himselfD. recovered the valuable treasure of pirates42. When Daniel and his two friends dug for the treasure, they _______.A. discovered an oak thereB. gave up because they had dug too deepC. found an oak floorD. dug for about 12 meters deep43.

Here are some practical ways for you if you want to be a success.1. Desire. Desire is the longing to achieve a vision(美景); without desire you have nothing.Before you can run with desire, your vision must be plain, clear and it must alsobe exciting.2. Show up. Seventy percent of success in life is showing up. You can't have a best seller, if you’ve never written a book. You can’t get your dream job, if you are scared to turn in an application.Showing up doesn't guarantee success, but if you don't show up, you won't succeed.3. Fail. Unless yo u’re willing to have a go, fail miserably,(糟糕地)and have another go, success won’t happen. To have success you have to do things the right way, but often the only way to do something right is to first fail at it. As Thomas J. Watson said, a simple formula (公式) for success is to double your rate of failure.So embrace (拥抱)failure, become a student of failure, learn from failure, and soon you will succeed.4. Work Harder. Everyone runs, but everyone is not willing to run for an hour every day. Success is not about doing what the average person can’t do;it’s about doing what the average person is unwilling to do.And on a deeper level, it's about creating habits that the average person is unwilling to cre ate.It's the habit of doing things with excellence that causes success5. Enjoy the Journey. Success is a journey, not a destination. Success is not a certain car or a certain house or a certain happy marriage. Success is the enjoyment of the journey. You have to enjoy the journey!Someone once said, "Unless you change how you are, you will always have what yo u've got." You have to change.... you will change; you will succeed.36. Which of the following is NOT mentioned in gaining success? [单选题] *A. Working hardB. Good education(正确答案)C. Strong desireD. Enjoying failure37. By saying “everyone runs, but everyone is not willing to run for an hour every day”the author means that ____ . [单选题] *A. It’s not so easy for people to develop their healthB. you are sure to meet with some difficulty in your lifeC. working harder is necessary when you go after success(正确答案)D. most people don’t want to spend too much time running38. What does the author mostly want to tell us in the fourth paragraph? [单选题] *A. Failure is the mother of success(正确答案)B. Little by little, one goes farC. Every coin has two sidesD. Well began, half done39. Which of the following statement is TRUE about the passage? [单选题] *A. You can run with desire that is not excitingB. You will always have what you’ve got for everC. Success is about doing what the average person can’t doD. Success means the enjoyment of your gain or loss on the journey(正确答案)40. The best title for the passage might be ____ . [单选题] *A. Importance of SuccessB. Success or FailureC. Benefit of SuccessD. The Five Main Steps to Success(正确答案)Passage TwoThe drive from England and Scotland provides the traveler with many pleasant change s of scenery. As it is a fairly long journey, it is good to be able to travel with a friend who can take turns with you at the wheel.On the first night in Scotland a tourist may choose to putup at a hotel in the little town of Gallander. On the following day he can set out to see the various lakes in the neighborhood, and will be delighted with the wild and charming aspect of the countryside. When he returns to his hotel he will be glad to eat a “high tea”. This is a meal which in Scotland takes the place of tea and dinner. It consists of one big c ourse, which one wouldhave at dinner, followed by bread-and-butter, with jam, and some kind of cake or cakes; tea is drunk with the meal, which is taken at about six o’clock in the evening. One then has a light supper later in the evening.The next morning many tourists journey on to the west coast.The road winds and turns, but is not dangerous. The greatest hazard is the black-faced sheep:these animals are as active and fierce as goats, and frequently wander into the road. The t ourist may also see a herd of long haired Highlandcattle, which look cruel but are no more so than ordinary cattle.41. The passage mainly tells you . [单选题] *A . how to get to Scotland from EnglandB . how to spend the night in ScotlandC . what to enjoy in Scotland(正确答案)D. what to eat and drink during the journey in Scotland42.

A tourist may be glad to eat a Scottish meal when he returns to his hotel.D. A tourist may drink tea instead of a light supper late in the evening.(正确答案)44. What is the meaning of “hazard” (para.3) in the passage? [单选题] *A.Something which may threaten one’s life(正确答案)B.An animal which is black-faced and fierceC.Part of a road which winds and turnsD.A Scotsman one may come across during his journey45. What’s the journey like from Callender to the West Coast? [单选题] *A. Pleasant but tiringB. Difficult and troublesomeC. Long and tiringD. Neither difficult nor risky(正确答案)Passage ThreeAir travel is an everyday experience these days because it's so fast. But frequent longd istance flying can be very tiring and the traveler begins to feel his brain is in one country and his body is in another. In short, he hardly knows where he is.Tiredness after a long flight becomes stronger when we fly from east to west or vice ve rsa because we cross time zones(时区).Doctors say that air travelers should go straight to bed on arrival after crossing a numb er of time zones. They shouldn't work without rest. However. airline pilots can hardly be affected. In fact,they often live by their own watches,paying no attention to local time .They can even have breakfast at midnight if necessary.Businessmen,however,are not so lucky.After a long journey,they must either go straight to an important meeting or to their boss to give a report. Eve n so,there are still a lot of businessmen traveling by air.46. Why has air travel become a daily experience? Because it is ___.

A great many educators firmly believe that English is one of the poorest taughtA B Csubjects In high schools today.DThe academic year is divided into two terms, each of which provides for about 15 weeks of instruction plus a week for final examinations. The fall semester, considered the first term of the academic year, usually begins in September or late August, and it is increasingly common for the term to start early enough to be completed before the two-week Christmas holiday. Colleges start later in September. The second or spring semester usually begins sometime in January and ends in late May or early June. Most schools schedule a one- or two-week vacation in March or April. A variation of the semester system being tried by some institutions is the “4—1—4” calendar, which has a four-month fall semester ending in December, a one-month short term in January for which students may enroll if they wish, and another four-month semester beginning early in February.91.

In the “4—1—4” calendar system, the first term begins ___.A. In DecemberB. In AugustC. In JanuaryD. In FebruaryQuestions 96~100 are based on the following passage:In sport the sexes are separate. Women and men do not run or swim in the same faces. Women are less strong than men. That at le ast is what people say. Women are called “the weaker sex”, or, if men want to please them, “the fair sex”. But boys and girls are taught together at schools and universities. There are women who are famous Prime Ministers, scientists and writers. And women live longer than men. A European woman can expect to live until the age of 74, a man only until he is 68. Are women’s bodies really weaker?The fastest men can run a mile in under 4 minutes. The best women need 4.5 minutes. Women’s times are always slower than men’s, but some facts are a surprise. Some of the fastest women swimmers today are teen-age girls. One of them swam 400 meters in 4 minutes 21.2 seconds when she was only 16. The first “Tarzan”(泰山) in films was an Olympic swimmer, Johnny WeissMuller. His fastest 400 meters was 4 minutes 59.1 seconds, which is 37.9 seconds slower than a girl 50 years later! This does not mean that women are catching men up. Conditions are very different now, and sport is much more serious. It is so serious that some women athletes are given hormone injections. At the Olympics a doctor has to check whether the women athletes are really women or not. It seems sad that sport has such problems. Life can be very complicated when there are two separate sexes!96. Women are called “the weaker sex” because ____.A. women do as much work as menB. people think women are weaker than menC. sport is easier for men than for womenD. in sport the two sexes are always together97. Which of the following is true?A. Boys and girls study separately everywhere.B. Women do not run or swim in races with men.C. Famous Prime Ministers are women.D. Men can expect to live longer than women in Europe.98. “That at least is what people say.” Means people____.A. say other things tooB. don’t say this muchC. say this but may not think soD. only think this99. What problems does sport have?A. Some women athletes are actually men.B. Some women athletes are given hormone injections.C. Women and men do not run or swim in the same races.D. It is difficult to check whether women athletes are really women.100. In this passage the author implies that ____.A. women are weaker than men, but fasterB. women are slower than men, but strongerC. men are not always stronger and faster than womenD. men are faster and stronger than womenQuestions 101~105 are base on the following passage:The stamp collector can learn a great deal from the colorful pieces of paper he put in his album. In addition to learning some basic things about organization and systematic arrangement, the stamp collector can receive a good course in history and geography from stamps. As a collector progresses and becomes more specialized, stamps teach him some basic facts about engraving, paper, and printing.Stamps are excellent sources of historical information. Almost every nation celebrates its military heroes and political leaders on its postage stamps. But scientists and artists, from Einstein to Beethoven, also grace the stamps of the world. Famous battles are frequently commemorated, as well as buildings and scenes which have historical significance. Several of the world’s stamp s are beautiful, full-color reproductions of the artistic masterpieces of different historical periods.Stamps also offer instruction in geography. It doesn’t take long before a beginning collector checks the locations of the countries from which his stamps come. Nations like Liechtenstein, San Marino, Andorra, Gabon, Ghana, and Afghanistan, while unknown to many, are usually quite familiar to stamp collectors. Moreover, each country tends to use stamps to advertise its natural wonders. Such renowned attractions as Yosemite National Park, Victoria Falls, Mount Everest, and the Bay and Fundy appear on the stamps of the nation within whose borders they lie.If he wishes to become more of a specialist, the stamp collector can learn some basic things about engraving, paper, and printing. The more advanced collector learns to distinguish between offset and letterpress printing. He learns to identify the different impressions made by metal and wooden engraved plates. He finds out how to detect watermarks in the various papers used for stamps, and how to identify the characteristics of different papers and the coatings which are applied to them. To the layman, most stamps appear pretty much the same. But armed with a magnifying glass, the more specialized collector can tell the difference between a common issue and a rare variety.101. Which of the following statements do you think best describes the main idea of the essay?A. A stamp collector must have a great deal of knowledge in history and geography.B. A stamp collector should be good at organization and systematic arrangement.C. A stamp collector can learn a lot from the stamps he collects.D. A stamp collector is a specialist who know much about engraving, paper and printing.102. The word “album” in the first sentence means___.A. a holder for sets of discB. a blank book used for collecting stampsC. a frame in which the best stamps are displayedD. a small box where colorful stamps are kept103. “Basic thing about organization and systematic arrangement” refers to ___.A. postal organizations and systems that print and issue new stampsB. various organizations and systems that sell new stampsC. organizations all over the world that offer help to stamp collectorsD. knowledge or information about how to organize and arrange things in good order104. Which of the following statements is NOT true?A. Almost all nations issue stamps celebrating their military heroes or political leaders.B. Famous battles and buildings of historical significance are frequently commemorated on stamps.C. Few scientists and artists appear on stamps.D. Scientists and artists as well as political and military leaders are celebrated on stamps.105. A layman is a person who____.A. has just started collecting stampsB. is a beginning collectorC. is not very much interested in stamp collectingD. does not have much professional knowledgeKey:91-95 DBCDB 96-100 BBCBC 101-105 CBDCD115.

Key:106-110 BCCAD 111-115 BCDAC 116-120 BBCAB 121-125 ACDBAIV. Translation from English into Chinese (15 marks)Directions: In this part there is a passage with 5 underlined parts, numbered 126~130. After reading the passage carefully, you should translate the underlined parts into Chinese.Science falls into two main categories: pure science and applied science. (126) Pure science considers how the universe works and how life has developed into the plants and animals we see on earth today. By means of pure science(such as chemistry, physics, geology, biology, or astronomy) we learn the laws of nature, the way the bodies of beasts and men are constructed, and how the minds of men function. (127) Applied science, often called engineering or technology (such as civil, mechanical, electrical, or chemical engineering), puts the laws of nature to practical use on building better structures and machines for the comfort and convenience of men.When a man learns some new fact by research in pure science, we say that he has made a scientific discovery. 128) When he puts an earlier discovery to some practical use, in a new and original way, we say that he has made an invention. In the two hundred years since the beginning of the great change that we call the Industrial Revolution, developments both in pure and in applied science speeded up in a way that the world had never before seen. All the sciences leaped forward, neck and neck like horses in a race. (129) At one time, one pulled ahead; then another caught up with and passed it. An invention in one field made possible some discovery in another; and thatdiscovery, in turn, permitted another new application of science for the benefit of man. (130) For example: the invention of the microscope led to the discovery of germs; eventually, the germ theory of disease made possible the curing of many ills for which no effective treatment had ever before been know.Key:126 理论科学研究宇宙怎样运行,生命怎样发展成为我们今天在地球上所看到的植物和动物。

Each passage is followed by a number of comprehension questions. Readthe passages and choose the best answer to each question. Then, mark your answer by blackening the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet.At first glance, there hardly seems to be any comparison between Ravenna and Rome, but back in the 5th century, it was Ravenna that served as capital of the Western Roman Empire. In this city, Roman rulers built monuments which are famous, then and now, for their sweeping mosaics(镶嵌图案). Seven of Ravenna’s eight buildings from the 5 th and 6th centuries are spectacularly decorated with examples of this ancient art. “ In the past, many people couldn’t read or write, “ says tour guide and Ravenna native Silvia Giogoli. “Mosaics were a way to explain the religion and the political situation to the people. “Visitors to Ravenna can look at pieces of art by ancient artists, listen to musicians, and learn to make their own masterpieces. Travel Tips When to Go: June—October: weather is pleasant in April and May but historic sites can get crowded with school groups. Where to Stay:Walk through historic district sites from Albergo Cappello and stay at a modern Hotel Centrale Byron. How to Get Around: Take the train from Bologna, and then walk, bike, or use taxis within the city. Where to Eat or Drink: Housed in a former movie theater, two-storey Ristorante Cinema Alexander blends 1940s Hollywood flavor with homemade Emilia Romagna courses and attentive service(helpful in translating the menu). For fresh seafood, try Osteria L’Accigua and Da Buco. What to Buy: Watch the next generation of Emilia Romagna mosaic artists create contemporary and traditional pieces in local studios where modern artists use the same methods as their Byzantine forefathers. What to Read Before You Go: Ravenna in Late Antiquity, by Deborah Mauskopf Deliyannis(2010), provides a wide-ranging look at the city’s art, architecture, and history.21.In ancient times, mosaics were used to______.A.display artistic achievementsB.compete with Roman paintingsC.explain religion and politicsD.teach reading and writing正确答案:C22.Lots of school children visit historic sites such as Ravenna in______.A.MayB.JuneC.SeptemberD.October正确答案:A23.If you want to try fresh seafood, you should go to______.A.Emilia RomagnaB.Hotel Centrale ByronC.Ristorante Cinema AlexanderD.Osteria L’Accigua and Da Buco正确答案:D24.Why is Ravenna in Late Antiquity recommended in this passage?A.Because it was written by a famous writer.B.Because tourists get to learn a lot about the city from it.C.Because tourists can get valuable tips for buying art pieces.D.Because it provides useful information about the city’s weather.正确答案:BWhen you pat your pet dog, he wags(摆来摆去)his tail. That is his way of saying that he loves you. And, if you pay attention, you will see that he uses his tail to say so many things. Every movement of the tail means a different thing. If the dog is wagging its tail, it is a sign of friendliness: if his tail is straight, it means he is getting ready for a fight: and if his tail is tucked(塞)behind his legs, it means he is giving up the fight. Unlike dogs, cats’ tail language is not so expressive. When a cat feels threatened, he puffs himself up to appear big and his tail shakes with tension. And when he is displeased with something, he lashes out(甩动)his tail. The tail language of dogs and cats has a little story behind it. Earlier, when dogs and cats had not become friends with human beings, they were predators. They used to hunt other animals for their food. When dogs went out hunting with their friends, tail language came handy. When they were close to each other, dogs could use facial expressions to talk. But, for long-distance communication, they used their tails. Unlike dogs, cats liked to hunt alone. So, they did not need to use tail language too often. As a result, their vocabulary in tail language is much smaller than that of dogs’.25.What does it mean when a dog’s tail is straight?A.It has a lot to say to you.B.It wants to stop fighting.C.It is going to fight.D.It likes to be patted.正确答案:C26.A cat tries to appear big when it is______.A.facing a dangerB.unhappyC.ready to huntD.hungry正确答案:A27.Which of the following does the author intend to say?A.Dogs and cats are not good friends.B.Dogs are much friendlier than cats.C.Dogs and cats are usually good pets.D.Dogs use tail language more than cats.正确答案:D28.In the last paragraph, the underlined word “predators” refers to______.A.animals that follow and obey other animalsB.animals that kill and eat other animalsC.animals that live in the wildD.animals kept by people正确答案:BLike any teenagers, the face of One Teen Story is changing fast. Just a year old, the monthly magazine of short fiction for young people is getting a new editor-in-chief:Patrick Ryan, 47 , the associate editor of Granta from 2009 to 2013. He left the London-based literary journal last month. Editing One Teen Story—the younger sibling(姊妹篇)of One Story magazine—will offer Ryan a chance to reach a whole new audience. “It’s really the only magazine for young adult short fiction, “ he says from his office in New York. “ It’s tremendously exciting that there are younger people out there who have subscriptions and look forward to getting these stories once a month. That form is usually only presented when it’s forced upon them in schools. “Designed for readers 14 and up, One Teen Story publishes nine issues a year. Like its sibling magazine, it doesn’t carry photographs or advertising. It’s just exactly what it says: one story per issue. Ryan says young people are “looking for engaging reads about people whom they can identify with. It’s not about having a message or positive spin(说教). It always starts on a character level, and it has to have an interesting story. If you look at the ‘ Twilight’ characters and the ‘ Harry Potter’characters, they feel very contemporary. “Ryan also sees the magazine as a way to encourage talented authors. “I would love to make One Teen Story the first publication for writers who then go on and keep at this business. I just really love the idea that this magazine would be the starting point for somebody—would be the push to make a talented writer feel that it was worth keeping at this. “29.Who is Patrick Ryan?A.He is the editor-in-chief of Granta.B.He is the editor-in-chief of One Story.C.He is the editor-in-chief of “Twilight”.D.He is the editor-in-chief of One Teen Story.正确答案:D30.What is One Teen Story?A.It is a story magazine for teenagers.B.It is a London-based literary journal.C.It is a column of a newspaper.D.It is a magazine of science fiction.正确答案:A31.According to Ryan, what attracts young readers most?A.Photographs and illustration.B.Chances and practices in business.C.Characters and stories close to their life.D.Political teachings and moral messages.正确答案:C32.In the last paragraph, the underlined phrase “this business” means______.A.reading storiesB.writing storiesC.editing magazinesD.making money正确答案:BCouples are restricting the size of their families in the UK because of cash worries brought on by the financial crisis and the subsequent decline. We’re now up to nearly 3. 7 million families where there is an only child, a rise from about 3. 3 million in 2005. That means nearly half of all parents have only one child. Financial worries aren’t the only driver. The trend towards later motherhood has been mentioned as a cause, as have soaring costs of raising a child, which have been calculated as £222, 500 from birth to 21 years of age. This is an increase of nearly 40% in 10 years. The increasing availability of IVF(试管婴儿)is also a factor and an interesting one. Couples who might have remained childless in the past now invest in IVF and get pregnant. And because of the cost they stop after one child. It may not be a bad thing: there are outstanding examples of talented only children. Some argue that being an only child promoted their success. These include actors Natalie Portman and Al Paci-no, golfer Tiger Woods and even Queen Victoria. A study from the Institute for Social and Economic Research at the University of Essex also showedthat the fewer brothers and sisters a child has, the happier they are. It seems fighting for parental attention and affection—which sometimes descends into physical fights —is more stressful than any adult had previously thought. And it’s not compensated(弥补)by having a playmate.33.The smaller size of UK families is mainly related to______.A.financial problemsB.technical problemsC.health problemsD.cultural problems正确答案:A34.The passage shows that IVF is______.A.safer than natural pregnancyB.very popular in UKC.very expensiveD.a risky investment正确答案:C35.What is a proved advantage of one-child family?A.Improved family life.B.Higher number of sports stars.C.Efficient family education.D.Promotion of children’s success.正确答案:D36.The findings of the institute at the University of Essex might mean that______.A.the only children’s lack of playmates causes problemsB.the only children are much happier than othersC.parents-children relationship is off balanceD.children have to struggle for parental love正确答案:BAbout 79 million Americans have pre-diabetes(糖尿病前期). That means they have blood sugar that’s higher than normal but not high enough to be diagnosed(诊断)with type 2—at least not yet. One long-term study reported by the American Diabetes Association found that 11 % of people with pre-diabetes develop the full-blown disease each year. Another study shows that pre-diabetes will probablybecome type 2 in 10 years or less. Yet, that process is not inevitable. Last year, scientists in Colorado found that people with pre-diabetes who lowered their blood sugar to normal levels—even briefly—were 56% less likely to reach type 2 levels. If you have pre-diabetes, here are four steps to help prevent or delay a diabetes diagnosis: Lose 7% of your body weight. That is about 15 pounds for the persons who weigh 200. Dropping that small percentage has been shown to lower the risk of developing type 2 by close to 60%. Exercise 30 minutes five days a week. Whether you do the 30 minutes in one shot or in three 10-minute sessions, the benefit is the same. Choose certain exercises, such as fast walking, playing tennis or lifting weights. Physical activity such as sweeping floors works, too. Turn to your doctor. In some cases, pre-diabetes raises the risk of heart disease and stroke by 50%. Your doctor may use some medicine to control your glucose(葡萄糖)levels and keep your blood pressure in check. Know your numbers. To see if your pre-diabetes is improving, have your blood sugar checked regularly. A fasting blood sugar of 100 to 125 mg/dl suggests pre-diabetes: 126 mg/dl or above is diabetes: and below 100 is normal. Other tests, including glucose tolerance and AIC, also are used to monitor blood sugar.37.What do we learn from the two studies mentioned in Paragraph 1?A.Pre-diabetes will surely become type 2 diabetes.B.Pre-diabetes is likely to become diabetes within years.C.Enough attention should be paid to the treatment of type 2.D.Pre-diabetes is ranked No. 1 danger threatening Americans’ health.正确答案:B38.To prevent or delay a diabetes diagnosis, people with pre-diabetes should pay most attention to______.A.glucose levelsB.exercisesC.heart diseaseD.stroke正确答案:A39.Which of the following suggests that you have pre-diabetes?A.70 mg/dl.B.90 mg/dl.C.110 mg/dl.D.130 mg/dl.正确答案:C40.What column of a newspaper is most likely to have this article?A.Technology.B.Entertainment.C.Education.D.Health.正确答案:DPart IV ClozeDirections: There are some blanks in the following passages.

I. Reading Comprehension (本大题共20 个小题,每空2 分,共40 分) Directions: There are four passages in this part. Each passage is followed by five questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. You should decide on the best choice and mark the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet. Passage 1 “Congratulations, Mr. Jones, it’s a girl.” Fatherhood is going to have a different meaning and bring forth/////¤/////¤/////密¤封¤装¤订¤线密封线内不要答题准考证号姓名://///¤/////¤/////a different response from every man who hears these words. Some feel pride when they receive the news, while others worry, wondering whether they will be good fathers. Although there are some men who like children and may have had considerable experience with them, others do not particularly care for children and spend little time with them. Many fathers and mothers have been planning and looking forward to children for some time. For other couples, pregnancy was an accident that both husband and wife have accepted willingly or unwillingly.Whatever the reaction to the birth of a child, it is obvious that the shift from the role of husband to that of father is a difficult task. Yet, unfortunately, few attempts have been made to educate fathersin this reconciliation (协调) process. Although numerous books havebeen written about American mothers, only recently has literature focused on the role of fathers.It is argued by some writers that the change to the father’s role, although difficult, is not nearly as great as the change the wife must take t o the mother’s role. The mother’s role seems to require a complete transformation in daily routine and highly innovative adaptation. On the o ther hand, the father’s role is less demanding and immediate. However, even though we mentioned the fact that growing numbers of women are working outside the home, the father is still thought by many as the breadwinner in the household.1. From the passage, we learn that fatherhood ________.A. brings a feeling of excitement to most menB. makes some men feel proud and others uneasyC. has a different meaning for men who have daughtersD. means a responsibility that men accept unwillingly2. What does the passage say about the shift from the role of husband to that of father?A. Numerous books have been written about it.B. Not enough attention has been paid to it.C. The shift is harder for men than for women.D. The shift is a difficult but incomplete one.3. The passage indicates that _________.A. mothers get more attention and recognition from societyB. mothers are innovative and demanding according to some writersC. mothers generally stay at home to take care of the childrenD. mothers should help fathers in their reconciliation process4. Which of the following will the author most probably disagreewith? A. It ’s as difficult to be a father as it is to be a mother. B. More books should focus on the role of fathers. C. The father is still the breadwinner in the household. D. Fathers are as important to children as mothers. 5. The author’s purpose in writing this passage is to ________. A. explain why there are few books on the role of fathers B. praise mothers for their great contributions to the home C. criticize fathers for not taking enough responsibility in bringing up the children D. complain about the lack of social programs to help fathers in their role shift Passage 2 As many as one thousand years ago in the Southwest, the Hopi and Zuni Indians of North America were building with adobe-sun-baked brick plastered (涂抹)with mud. Their homes looked remarkably like modem apartment houses. Some were four stories high and contained quarters for perhaps thousand people, along with storerooms for grain and other goods. These buildings were usually put up against cliffs, both to make construction easier and for defense against enemies. They were really villages in themselves, as later Spanish explorers must have realized since they called them “pueblos”, which is Spanish for town. The people or the pueblos raised what are c alled “the three sisters” —— corn, beans, and squash. They made excellent pottery and wove marvelous baskets, some so fine that they could hold water. The Southwest has always been a dry country, where water is scarce. The Hopi and Zuni brought water from streams to their fields and gardens through irrigation ditches (沟). Water was so important that it played a major role in their religion. They developed elaborate ceremonies and religious rituals to bring rain./////¤/////¤/////密¤封¤装¤订¤线密封线内不要答题准考证号姓名://///¤/////¤/////The way of life of less-settled groups was simpler and more strongly influenced by nature. Small tribes such as the Shoshone and Ute wandered the dry and mountainous lands between the Rocky Mountains and the Pacific Ocean. They gathered seeds and hunted small animals such as rabbits and snakes. In the Far North the ancestors of today’s Inuit hunted seals, walruses, and the great whales. They lived right on the frozen seas in shelters called igloos built of blocks of packed snow. When summer came, they fished for salmon and hunted the lordly caribou.The Cheyenne, Pawnee, and Sioux tribes, known as the Plains Indians, lived on the grasslands between the Rocky Mountains andthe Mississippi River. They hunted bison (野牛) commonly calledthe buffalo. Its meat was the chief food of these tribes, and its hide was used to make their clothing and the covering of their tents.6. The dwellings(住处)of the Hopi and Zuni were _________.A. very crowdedB. extremely crudeC. highly advancedD. located on plains7. The word “They” in first paragraph line 8 refers to _______.A. goodsB. buildingsC. cliffsD. enemies8. According to the passage, which tribes live on the plain?A. HopiB. CheyenneC. ShoeshineD. Inuit9. Which of the following statements is not true, according to the passage?A. The plain Indians lived, to a great extent, on the buffalo.B. The life style of each North American Indian tribe was decided by its environment.C. The Cheyenne and Sioux tribes lived on the grasslands.D. The Hopi and Zuni tribes built their homes against cliffs for the simple reason that they lacked a sense of security.10. The best title for the passage might be .A. The Hopi and Zuni TribesB. Early North American SocietiesC. Dwellings of the early North AmericansD. The history of the Early North AmericansPassage 3 As a teenager in 1972, Bill Gates boasted that he would be a millionaire by the time he was 20. While he did not quite achieve that goal, only 15 years later he was a billionaire. And by 1992, as head of the Microsoft Company, he became the richest man in America with assets of approximately $6.3 billion. Born in Seattle, Washington on 28, October 1956, Gates was named William Henry after his father and grandfather. From the beginning, he was an extremely energetic and intelligent child. He had read the entire world book encyclopedia (百科全书)by the age of nine. His favorite subjects at school were science and math and his favorite pastime was ‘thinking.’ Gate first started to play with computer at the age of 13, when one was installed at his school. At the time, computers were large, awkward machines. Operators were required to learn complex computer languages before the machines could be used. Even then, a great deal of time and effort was needed to perform the simplest functions. Before long, Gates was an expert at working the school ’s computer. After his graduation from secondary school, Gates was accepted by three top universities in the USA ─ Princeton, Harvard and Yale. He chose Harvard and began classes there the next autumn, majoring in math. But he was still obsessed (着迷)with computers and spent as much time in the computer laboratories as he did in the lecture halls. By 1975, Gates and a partner, Paul Allen, had developed a software program called BASIC. This was not the first program ever created, but its inventors were the first to decide that people who wanted to use it should pay for it. BASIC was a success because until it came along there had been no efficient way of getting computers to carry out instructions. Although he had not yet completed his degree, Gates left university/////¤/////¤/////密¤封¤装¤订¤线密封线内不要答题准考证号姓名://///¤/////¤/////and went to work full time for the new company he had formed called Microsoft.His next project was the software program that made him very famous and rich. It was called DOS, short for Disk Operating System, and it was purchased by IBM in 1980. Today it is the operating system used in more than 14 million personal computers around the world.As chief executive officer of Microsoft, Gates is known as a bright man, but one who is not easily satisfied. He is quick to criticize his staff and hates to be questioned about decisions he has made. He was regarded as a loner, an unfashionable boring computer nut until his marriage to Microsoft manager Melinda French on New Year’s Day 1994. Yet to most people now, Gates is a person who is,in spite of his great wealth, humble(谦卑的)and ordinary. Hespends his money carefully. He eats in fast-food restaurants and flies economy class. And when praised for Microsoft’s great success, he has been heard to say, “All we do is put software in a box and if people see it in the stores and like it, they buy it”.11. When he was a teenager, Bill Gates wanted to be a .A. teacherB. doctorC. businessmanD. professor12. When Gates went to Harvard, he ______.A. was only interested in mathB. spent most of his time in computer laboratoriesC. developed the first computer software programD. divided his time between his math studies and the computer laboratories13. Before the development of BASIC, ______.A. no one was interested in computer softwareB. software programs were not considered commercial projectsC. software programs were very expensiveD. no one wanted to pay for computer software14. When the writer says “He was regarded as a loner andunfashionable boring compu ter nut”, he means ______.A. Bill was so strong-minded that no one could change his mindB. The only thing that could interest Bill in his life was computerC. Bill was such a boring young man that nobody would like totalk to him D. Bill couldn ’t work out the boring computer programs 15. Most people think that Bill Gates is ______. A. a crazy person B. a person obsessed with making money C. someone who spends money freely D. a quite common, normal person Passage 4 Glacier National Park in Montana shares boundaries with Canada, an American Indian reservation, and a national forest. Along the North Fork of the Flathead River, the park also borders about 17,000 acres of private lands that are currently used for ranching, timber, and agriculture. This land is an important part of the habitat and migratory routes for several endangered species that frequent the park. These private lands are essentially the only ones available for development in the region. With encouragement from the park, local landowners initiated a land-use planning effort to guide the future of the North Fork. The park is a partner in an inter-local agreement that calls for resource managing agencies to work together and with the more than 400 private owners in the area. A draft plan has been prepared, with objective of maintaining traditional economic uses but limiting new development that would damage park resources. V oluntary action by landowners, in cooperation with the park and the county, is helping to restrict small lot subdivisions, maintain wildlife corridors, and minimize any harmful impact on the environment. The willingness of local landowners to participate in this protection effort may have been stimulated by concerns that congress would impose a legislative solution. Nevertheless, many local residents want to retain the existing character of the area. Meetings between park officials and landowners have led to a dramatically improved understanding of all concerns. 16. The passage mainly discusses______./////¤/////¤/////密¤封¤装¤订¤线密封线内不要答题准考证号 姓名: /////¤/////¤/////A. the endangered species in Glacier National ParkB. the protection of lands surrounding Glacier National ParkC. conservation laws imposed by the state of MontanaD. conservation laws imposed by Congress17.
