学位英语复习资料一、定语从句指点定语从句的联系代词有that,which,who(宾格whom)，所有格whose)和联系副词where when why等，联系代词或联系副词在定语从句中充当一个成分，联系代词that，which,who,whom等在从句中区分作主语或宾语，whose在从句中作定语，而联系副词when,where,why等在从句中作状语。

如:?i will never forget the days when/in which we workedtogether. ?i will never forget the days which/that we spent together. 解析:在句?中，示意时间的名词the days在从句中充当的是状语，所以用联系副词when来代指，指点定语从句润饰后行词the days;而在句?中，示意时间的名词the days在从句中充当的是动词spent的宾语，所以用联系代词that或which来代指。

异样，示意地点或原因的名词假设在从句中作状语，则用联系副词where或why来代指;假设在从句中作动词的宾语，则用which或that来代替。

如:?this is the factory where/in which iworked.(作状语)this is the factory that/which ivisited years ago.(作宾语)注:领后行词为time,reason,place时，指点词可以省略。

如:this was the first(when/what)i had serious trouble with myboss. ?that is the reason(why)i did it.this is the place(where)we met yesterday.另外，定语从句中谓语动词的数应与后行词的数相一致。

如:mr.jackson is the only foreigner that is present at the party.0 he is one of the students who were praised by the teacher.解析:在句?中，后行词foreigner被only润饰，强调只要一个，所以从句中谓语动词用双数形式，而在句?中，who指点的定语从句润饰后行词the students，为双数，所以从句谓语动词应为双数。

阅读理解专项练习Passage 1The secret of being born lucky is a summer birthday, with May babies most likely to enjoy a lifetime’s good fortune, according to a study of more than 40,000 people. The time of year at which you are born has an enduring influence on levels of optimism and self-reported luck, according to a research by British and Swedish scientists. May was the luckiest month in which to be born, with 50 percent of those born then considering themselves lucky, while October was the least lucky month, with just 43 percent claiming good fortune.The findings add to growing evidence that the phenomenon of luck is not all down to chance, but is affected by a person’s general disposition. Other research has shown that whether people think themselves fortunate depends less on objective success than on having a “glass half-full” or “half-empty” approach to life. “What we are seeing suggests that something is influencing how people perceive their luckiness. My hypothesis is that people create their own luck by traits such as optimism, that luck is a psychological phenomenon rather than a matter of blind chance,” said Profe ssor Richard Wiseman, who led the research.The pattern of the result, with those born in spring and in summer reporting themselves luckier than those born in autumn or winter, could have two potential explanations, Professor Wiseman said.1.According to the passage, whether people think themselves lucky or not dependson the following factors EXCEPT _______.A. one’s objective successB. one’s general dispositionC. one’s attitude to lifeD. one’s place of birth2. According to the passage, those who were born in ________ regard themselves as the most fortunate.A. MarchB. AprilC. MayD. October3. Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the passage?A. Optimistic people tend to be luckier.B. Devoted people tend to be luckier.C. Objective success is more important than one’s general disposition in feeling lucky.D. People drinking more water tend to be luckier.4. Which of the following words can be best replace the word “trait” (Line7, Para.2)?A. Quality.B. Expectation.C. Belief.D. Idea5. What is the best title for the passage?A. Luck is Something BornB. Luck is Not All Down to ChanceC. Luck is a Matter of Blind ChanceD. Luck and AgePassage 2Man has always wanted to fly. Some of the greatest men in history had thought about the problem. One of them, for example, was the great Italian artist, Leonardo Da Vinci. In the 16th century he made designs for machines that would fly, but they were never built.Throughout history, other less famous men had wanted to fly. An example was a man in England 800 years ago. He made a pair of wings from chicken feathers. Then he fixed them to his body and jumped into air from a tall building. He did not fly very far. Instead, he fell to the ground and broke every bone of his body and rested in peace.The first real step took place in France, in 1783. Two brothers, the Montgolfiers, made a very large “hot air balloon”. They knew that hot air rises. Why not fill a balloon with it? The balloon was made of cloth and paper. In September of that year, the King and Queen of France came to see the balloon. They watched it carry the very first air passengers into the sky. The passengers were a sheep and a chicken. We do not know how they felt about the trip. But we do know that the trip lasted eight minutes and that the animals landed safely. Two months later, two men did the same thing. They rose above Paris in a balloon of the same kind. Their trip lasted twenty-five minutes and they traveled about.1. Leonardo Da Vinci _______.A. said that man would fly in the sky one dayB. built a kind of machine which never flewC. made designs for flying machinesD. drew many beautiful pictures of birds2. Eight hundred years ago an Englishman _______.A. made a kind of flying machineB. tried to fly with wings made of chicken feathersC. wanted to build a kind of balloonD. tried to fly on a large bird3. In fact, the Englishman who tried to fly _______.A. got badly woundedB. succeeded in flyingC. lost his lifeD. flew only 8 minutes4. The very first air passengers in the balloon were _______.A. two animalsB. the MontgolfiersC. two FrenchmenD. the King and Queen5. When did two Frenchmen rise above Paris?A. In December 1783.B. In September 1783.C. In the 17th century.D. In November 1783.Passage 3Dieting to lose weight has become very popular in recent years. People have become more health conscious and try to take better care of their bodies by eating more nutritiously（有营养的） and exercising more regularly to lose any unnecessary fat that they may have.Not only are people being more careful about what they eat, they are also concerned with how they eat and how their meals are prepared. People are taking more time for each meal. Many avoid the so called “plastic” fast-food hamburgers and choose to eat a salad or a sandwich of more healthful ingredients(成分) in a quiet restaurant with a more leisurely atmosphere. At home, they also try to take enough time to eat a relaxing dinner without phone or TV interruptions.While dieting may be viewed as beneficial, it has also become a serious problem for Americans, particularly for young women. Dieting for them has actually become a psychological addiction(依赖). They eat so little that they can lose as much as fifty percent of their total body weight, and although they look like skeletons, they still insist that they are fat.The current waves of exercising, dieting and the problems produced have caused many organizations to begin educating the public. Many schools, hospitals, health organizations, newspapers and magazines, for example, are offering classes, printing booklet articles, etc. to inform the public of the way to exercise and diet, of the dangers of dieting too rapidly, and of the places people can go for medical help if they find themselves on the road to “diet addiction”.1. These days people are dieting more because _______.A. they have become fatter and fatterB. they have realized the danger of eatingC. they have become more health consciousD. they have taken better care of themselves2. What changes have people made in the atmosphere of mealtime?A. They are taking more time for each meal.B. They are eating in quiet restaurants with more leisurely atmosphere.C. At home they are eating without phone or TV interruptions.D. All of the above.3. “They look like skeletons” in the third paragraph most probably means ________.A. they are very prettyB. they are very uglyC. they are too thinD. they are starving4. The main idea of the last paragraph is about ________.A. how the organizations try to help people with dieting addictionB. what kind of media can be used to educate the publicC. where people with dieting addiction can go to ask for helpD. what causes the organizations to begin educating the public5. According to the passage, we can infer that the atmosphere of eating has something to do with ________.A. dietingB. mannersC. healthD. exercisingPassage 4Do you know who Benjamin Banneker was and what he did? Benjamin Banneker was a self-educated scientist at a time when most African Americans were slaves. Born a free black man in the British Colony of Maryland in 1731, he received some formal education, but he mostly borrowed books and taught himself science and mathematics. At 22, he borrowed a pocket watch, and without any training, figured out how to carve a working wooden clock that chimed each hour. Because of this clock, he became well known and people would visit him just to see his creation.Banneker ran his family farm from many years, but when he was in his late 50s, a neighbor’s son lent him a telescope. He became interested in astronomy, the stud y of the planets and stars, and again taught himself a new science. He made calculations of tides, sunrises and sunsets, and even predicted an eclipse. For several years he published an almanac of these calculations. Today, he is best known for publishing six almanacs, called “Benjamin Banneker’s Almanac” between 1792 and 1797.In the 1790s, Banneker also helped survey and lay out the land for Washington, D. C., which became the nation’s capital. For a look at Banneker’s amazing life, visit the Benjamin Banneker Historical Park & Museum in Ellicott City, Maryland.1.

Helping surveying the capital.C. Benjamin Banneker’s Almanac.D. A wooden clock.Passage 5The clock struck eleven at night. The whole house was quiet. Everyone was in bed except me. Under the strong light, I looked sadly before me at a huge pile of that troublesome stuff they call “books”.I was going to have my examination the next day. “When can I go to bed?” I asked myself. I didn’t answer. In fact, I dare not.The clock struck twelve. “Oh, dear!” I cried.“Ten more books to read before I can go to bed!” We pupils are the most wretched creatures in the world. Dad does not agree with me on this. He did not have to work so hard when he was a boy.The clock stroke one. I was quite desperate now. I forgot all I had learned.I was too tired to go on. I did the only thing I could. I prayed, “Oh, God, please help me pass the exam tomorrow. I do promise to work hard afterwards, Amen.”My eyes were so heavy that I could hardly open them.

When they work, they usually get paid in money.Most of the money today is made of metal pr paper. But people used to use all kinds of things as money. One of the first kinds of money was shells. Shells were not the only things used as money. In China, cloth and knives were used. In the Philippine Islands, rice was used as money. In parts of Africa, cattle were one of the earliest money. Other animals were used as money too.The first metal coins were made in China. They were round and had a square hole in the center. People strung them together and carried them from place to place. Different countries have used different metals and designs for their money. The first coins in England were made of tin. Sweden and Russia used copper to make their money. Later, other countries began to make coins of gold and silver.But even gold and silver were inconvenient if you had to buy something expensive. Again the Chinese thought of a way to improve money. They began to use paper money.

Money and Its UseB. Different Things Used as MoneyC. Different Countries, Different MoneyD. The History of MoneyPassage 7In Denmark, parents are allowed to set up a new school if they are dissatisfied with the school in the area where they are living. Although these schools have to follow the national course, they are allowed a lot of choices in deciding what to teach.Some of these new schools are called “small schools” because usually the number of pupils in them is only sixty, but a school has to have at least twenty-seven pupils. Cooleenbridge School in Ireland, is a small school similar to the ones in Denmark, it was set up by parents who came from Holland, Germany, Czechoslovakia, England and other parts of Ireland. They came because they wanted to live in the countryside and to grow their own food. In June 1986, they decided to start a school. They managed to get an old, disused primary school building and started with twenty-four children aged from four to twelve.The teachers say, “The important thing in school is doing, not sitting.” And so the courses include yoga, cooking, knitting, kite-making, music, fishing, drama and environmental river studies, as well as reading, writing, maths and science.1.

To many people, the cause is obvious: they eat too much. But scientific evidence does little to support the idea.Going back to the America of the 1910s, we find that people were thinner than today, yet they ate more food. In those days people worked harder physically, walked more, used machines much less and didn’t watch television.Several modern studies, moreover, have shown that fatter people do not eat more on average than thinner people. In fact, some investigations, such as the 1979 study of 3,545 London office workers, report that, on balance, fat people eat less than slimmer people.Studies show that slim people are more active than fat people. A study by a research group at Stanford University School of Medicine found the following interesting facts: The more the men run, the more body fat they lost. The more they ran, the greater amount of food they ate. Thus, those who run the most ate the most, yet lost the greatest amount of body fat.1. The physical problem that many adult Americans have is that ________.A. they are too slimB. they work too hardC. they are too fatD. they lose too much body fat2. According to the article, given 500 adult Americans, ________ will have a weight problem.A. 30B. 50C. 100D. 1503. Is there any scientific evidence to support that eating too much is the cause of a weight problem?A. Yes, there is plenty of evidence.B. Of course, there is some evidence to show this is true.C. There is hardly any scientific evidence to support that.D. We don’t know because the information is not given.4. In comparison with the adult American population today, the Americans of the 1910s _______.A. ate more food and had more physical activities.B. ate less food but had more activitiesC. ate less food and had less physical exerciseD. had more weight problems5. Modern scientific researchers have reported to us that ________.A. fat people eat less food and are less activeB. fat people eat more food than slim people and are more activeC. fat people eat more food than slim people but are less activeD. thin people run less, but have greater increase in food intakePassage 9Mass media, the tools of communication, can be divided into two groups: print media and electronic media. By print media, we mean books, newspapers and magazines. Electronic media include television, computer, radio and movie. Mass media allow us to record and pass information rapidly to a large, scattered audience. They extend our ability to talk to each other by helping us overcome barriers cause by time and space.Mass media make daily life easier for us in various ways. Firstly, they help us keep a watch on our world. They gather and pass on information we would be unlikely or unable to obtain on our own.Secondly, mass media help us arrange our time and life. What we talk about and what we think about are greatly influenced by the media. When people get together, they tend to talk about certain happenings in newspapers or on TV. Because we are exposed to different points of view through different kinds of media every day, we are able to evaluate all sides of a certain issue.Thirdly, the media are used to persuade people. Newspapers, magazines and TV are filled with all kinds of colorful, persuasive advertisements. Though many advertisements may not say openly that they want you to buy a certain product, they describe their products in such a way that you may want to buy them.Fourthly, the media also entertain.

In the 16th century he made designs for machines that would fly, but they were never built.Throughout history, other less famous men had wanted to fly. An example was a man in England 800 years ago. He made a pair of wings from chicken feathers. Then he fixed them to his body and jumped into air from a tall building. He did not fly very far. Instead, he fell to the ground and broke every bone of his body and rested in peace.The first real step took place in France, in 1783. Two brothers, the Montgolfiers, made a very large “hot air balloon”. They knew that hot air rises. Why not fil l a balloon with it? The balloon was made of cloth and paper. In September of that year, the King and Queen of France came to see the balloon. They watched it carry the very first air passengers into the sky. The passengers were a sheep and a chicken. We do not know how they felt about the trip. But we do know that the trip lasted eight minutes and that the animals landed safely. Two months later, two men did the same thing. They rose above Paris in a balloon of the same kind. Their trip lasted twenty-five minutes and they traveled about.1. Leonardo Da Vinci _______.A. said that man would fly in the sky one dayB. built a kind of machine which never flewC. made designs for flying machinesD. drew many beautiful pictures of birds2.

The flashes reflected light could be seen several miles away. The enemy did not know what the flashes meant, but other Greek soldiers could understand the message.Roman soldiers in some places built long rows of signal towers. When they had a message to send, the soldiers shouted it from tower to tower. If there were enough towers and soldiers with loud voices, important news could be sent quickly over distance.In Africa, people learn to send messages by beating on a series of large drums. Each drum was kept within hearing distance of the next one. The drum beats were sent out in a special way that all the drummers understood. Though the messages were simple, they could be sent at great speed for hundreds of miles.In the eighteenth century, a French engineer found a new way to send short messages. In this way, a person held a flag in each hand and the arms were moved to various positions representing different letters of the alphabet. It was like spelling out words with flags and arms.Over a long period of time, people sent messages by all these different ways. However, not until the telephone was invented in America in the nineteenth century could people send speeches sounds over a great distance in just a few seconds. 1.

Part I Reading Comprehension (30 points)Directions: There are three passages in this section. Each passage is followed by some questions or unfinished statements. For each of them, there are four choices marked A, B, C, and D. You should decide on the best choice and mark the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet. Passage 1Questions 1 to 5 are based on the following passage.I was amazed to find out that my daughter, Jackie, rarely took public transportation. Recent data suggests that young people are driving less. Statistics indicate that fewer teenagers and young adults have adriver's license now compared to previous years. According to a reportby the US PIRG Education Fund, the percentage of high school seniorswith a driver's license has declined from 85.3% in 1996 to 71.5% in 2015. Why this change in behavior?The report offers a number of possible explanations. It mentions therise of social media and the increasing ability to connect with others digitally, which may have reduced the need for travel. Teens in today's age can easily keep in touch with their friends through various online platforms, lessening the desire to meet up in person.Another reason cited is the high cost of car ownership. Many younger people are burdened with student loans or low-paying jobs, making it difficult to afford a car along with its accompanying expenses such as maintenance, insurance, and fuel costs. Additionally, the report points out that public transportation is becoming more accessible and reliable, which further reduces the need for a car.Environmental concerns are also affecting young people's driving habits. With the increasing awareness of global warming and carbon emissions, many individuals are opting for more eco-friendly modes oftransportation. Bicycles and shared mobility services like bike-sharing and ride-sharing have gained popularity among the younger generation.In conclusion, the decline in driving among young people can be attributed to a combination of factors, including the rise of social media, financial constraints, improved public transportation, and environmental consciousness. This shift in behavior may have long-term implications for society as it impacts not only the automobile industry but also the way communities are designed and the overall transportation landscape.1.

Increased car ownership among older generations.B. Redesigning communities to be more car-friendly.C. A decreased need for public transportation.D. Changes in transportation infrastructure and planning.Passage 2Questions 6 to 10 are based on the following passage.Few animals are as elusive and mysterious as the snow leopard, also known as the "ghost of the mountains." These large cats inhabit the high mountain ranges of Central Asia, with their range spanning across 12 countries. However, due to their solitary nature and elusive behavior, studying the snow leopard has proven to be a challenging task.Snow leopards primarily live in rugged and remote habitats, such as the mountains of China, Mongolia, and Bhutan. They are well adapted to these harsh environments, with their thick fur providing insulation against the cold and their wide, padded paws helping them navigate through snow-covered terrains. Their reclusive behavior and excellent camouflage make them extremely difficult to spot, even for experienced wildlife researchers.Despite the challenges, scientists have been making efforts to learn more about these elusive creatures. Studying snow leopards is crucialfor their conservation, as they are listed as a vulnerable species by the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN). The main threats to their survival are poaching, habitat loss, and retaliatory killing by local communities. Snow leopards are often hunted for their fur and bones, which are highly valued in traditional Chinese medicine. One method researchers are using to study snow leopards is through the use of camera traps. These motion-activated cameras are set up in locations where snow leopards are known to roam, capturing precious footage of these secretive cats. Through these images and videos, scientists can identify individuals, track their movements, and assess their population sizes and distributions.Community-based conservation initiatives are also being implemented to protect snow leopards and their habitats. By involving local communities in the efforts, it helps create awareness and provides economic incentives for people to protect these endangered cats. Projects include promoting sustainable livelihoods, such as ecotourism and handicrafts, and establishing livestock insurance programs to compensate herders for any livestock losses caused by snow leopards.In conclusion, while the snow leopard remains a challenging animal to study, researchers and conservationists are employing various methods to gain a better understanding of these enigmatic creatures. Through the use of technology and community involvement, efforts are being made to protect the snow leopard and ensure its survival for future generations.6. Why are snow leopards difficult to study?A. They are nocturnal animals.B. They have excellent camouflage.C. They are highly endangered.D. They live in remote and rugged environments.7. What are the main threats to the snow leopard's survival?A. Natural disasters and climate change.B. Competition with other predators.C. Poaching and habitat loss.D. Disease and genetic disorders.8. How do researchers use camera traps to study snow leopards?A. They capture snow leopards and attach tracking devices to them.B. They set up cameras where snow leopards can be observed.C. They use drones to track snow leopards from the air.D. They analyze snow leopard footprints in the snow.9. How are local communities involved in the conservation of snow leopards?A. They are trained to become wildlife researchers.B. They hunt snow leopards for their fur and bones.C. They participate in ecotourism projects.D. They receive compensation for livestock losses caused by snow leopards.10. What is the main idea of this passage?A. Snow leopards are extremely elusive and endangered.B. Studying snow leopards is crucial for their conservation.C. Snow leopards are hunted for their fur in traditional Chinese medicine.D. Community involvement plays a vital role in snow leopard conservation.。

Each statementcontains information given in one of the paragraphs. Identify the paragraph from which the information isderived. You may choose a paragraph more than once. Each paragraph is marked with a letter.Answer thequestions by marking the corresponding letter on Answer Sheet.Addicted, Really?A）M ental-health specialists disagree over whether to classify compulsive online behavior as addiction—and how to treat it. CRAIG SMALLWOOD, a disabled American war veteran, spent more than 20,000 hours over five years playing an online role-playing game called “Lineage II”. When NCsoft, the South Korean firm behind the game, accused him of breaking the game’s rules and banned him, he was plunged into depression, severe paranoia(偏执) and hallucinations（幻想）. He spent three weeks in hospital. He sued NCsoft for fraud and negligence（过失）, demanding over $9m in damages and claiming that the company acted negligentlyby failing to warn him of the danger that he would become “addicted” to the game.B）B ut does it make sense to talk of addiction to online activity? Mental-health specialists say three online behaviors can become problematic for many people: video games,pornography（色情作品）and messaging via e-mail and social networks. But there is far less agreement about whether any of this should be called “Internet addiction”—or how to treat it.C）S ome mental-health specialists wanted “Internet addiction” to be included in the fifth version of psychiatry’s bible, the “Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders”, known as DSM-V, which is currently being overhauled（全面修订）.The American Medical Association endorsed（赞成）the idea in 2007, only to backtrack（放弃）days later. The American Journal of Psychiatry called Internet addiction a “common disorder” and supported its recognition. Last year the DSM-V drafting group made its decision: Internet addiction would not be included as a “behavioral addiction”—only gambling made the cut—but it said further study was necessary.D）S keptics say there is nothing uniquely addictive about the Internet. Back in 2000 Joseph Walther, a communications professor at Michigan State University, co-wrote an article in which he suggested, tongue in cheek, that the criteria used to call someone an Internet addict might also show that most professors were “addicted” to academia（学术活动）. He argued that other factors, such as depression, are the real problem. He stands by that view today. “No scientific evidence has emerged to suggest that Internet use is a cause rather than a consequence of some other sort of issu e,” he says. “Focusing on and treating people for Internet addiction, rather than looking for underlying clinical issues, is unwise.”E）Others disagree. “That would be wrong,” says Kimberly Young, a researcher and therapist who has worked on Internet addiction since 1994. She insists that the Internet, with its powerfully immersive environments, creates new problems that people must learn to navigate（应对）. Otherwise，the changing lifestyle will affect the development of the society.F）No one disputes that online habits can turn toxic. Take South Korea, where widespread broadband means that the average high-school student plays video games for 23 hours each week. In 2007 the government estimated that around 210,000 children needed treatment for Internet addiction. Last year newspapers around the globe carried the story of a South Korean couple who fed their infant daughter so little that she starved to death. Instead of caring for the child, the couple spent most nights at an Internet café, sinking hours into a role-playing game in which they raised, fed and cared for a virtual daughter. And several South Korean men have died from exhaustion after marathon, multi-day gaming sessions.G）T he South Korean government has since asked game developers to adopt a gaming curfew (宵禁) for children, to prevent them playing between midnight and 8 am. Ithas also opened more than 100 clinics for Internet addiction and sponsored an “Internet rescue camp” for serious cases.H）B ut compulsive behavior is not limited to gamers. E-mail or web-use behaviors can also show signs of addiction. Getting through a business lunch in which no one pulls out a phone to check their messages now counts as a minor miracle in many quarters. A deluge（泛滥） of self-help books, most recently “Alone Together” b y Sherry Turkle, a social scientist at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, offer advice on how to unplug（去除障碍）.I）Pornography is hardly new, either, but the Internet makes accessing it much easier than ever before. When something can be summoned in an instant via broadband, whether it is a game world, an e-mail inbox or pornographic material, it is harder to resist. New services lead to new complaints. When online auction sites first became popular, talk of “eBay addiction” soon followed. Dr Young says women complain to her now about addiction to Facebook—or even to “Farm Ville”, a game playable only within Facebook.J）Treatment centres have popped up around the world. In 2006 Amsterdam’s Smith & Jones facility billed itself as “the first and, currently, the only residential video-game treatment program in the world”. In America the Restart Internet Addiction Recovery Program claims to treat Internet addiction, gaming addiction, and even “texting addiction”. In China, meanwhile, military-style “boot camps” are the preferred way to treat Internet problems. After several deaths, however, scrutiny of the camps has intensified.K）Y et many people like feeling permanently connected. As Arikia Millikan, an American blogger, once put it, “If I could be jacked in at e very waking hour of the day, I would, and I think a lot of my peers would do the same.” Bob La Rose, an Internet specialist at Michigan State University, doesn’t believe her. In his research on college students, he found that most sense when they are “goin g overboard and restore self-control”. Less than 1% have a pathological（病态的） problem, he adds.For most people, Internet use “is just a habit—and one that brings us pleasure.”1.According to Joseph Walther, it is unwise to emphasize the treatment of Internetaddiction instead of seeking for potential clinical issues.2.As online games become popular, treatment centres have sprung up all over theworld.3.After playing online games continuously for days, several South Korean men wereexhausted to death.4.Smallwood sued NCsoft and claimed a huge compensation for fraud and itsnegligence of warning him of the danger of game addiction.5.In South Korea, a gaming curfew for children was adopted to prevent childrenplaying after midnight.6.Internet addiction still needs to be further studied though the DSM-V did notcategorize it as a “behavioral addiction”.7.An Internet specialist found that most college students could realize when they aregoing too far and restore self-control.8.According to mental-health specialists, for many people, video games, pornographyand messaging via e-mail and social networks can become problematic online behaviors.9.People regard it as a small miracle if nobody takes out a phone to read the messagesat a business lunch.10.Kimberly Young insists that people must learn to deal with new problems broughtabout by the Internet.Part III Listening ComprehensionSection ADirections:In this section, you will hear 8 short conversations and 2 long conversations.

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 Answer Sheet with a single line through the center.Passage OneQuestions 57 to 61 are based on the following passage.So long as teachers fail to distinguish between teaching and learning, they will continue to undertake things for children that children can only do for themselves. Teaching children to read is not passing reading on to them. It is certainly not endless hours spent in activities about reading. Douglas insists that “reading cannot be taught directly and schools should stop trying to do the impossible.”Teaching and learning are two entirely different processes. They differ in kind and function. The function of teaching is to create the conditions and the climate that will make it possible for children to devise the most efficient system for teaching themselves to read. Teaching is also a public activity: It can be seen and observed.Learning to read involves all that each individual does to make sense of the world of printed language. Almost all of it is private, for learning is an occupation of the mind, and that process is not open to public scrutiny.If teacher and learner roles are not interchangeable, what then can be done through teaching that will aid the child in the quest (探索) for knowledge? Smith has one principal rule for all teaching instructions. “Make learning to read easy, which means making reading a meaningful, enjoyable and frequent experience for children.”When the roles of teacher and learner are seen for what they are, and when both teacher and learner fulfill them appropriately, then much of the pressure and feeling of failure for both is eliminated. Learning to read is made easier when teachers create an environment where children are given the opportunity to solve the problem of learning to read by reading.57. The problem with the reading course as mentioned in the first paragraph is that ________.A. it is one of the most difficult school coursesB. students spend endless hours in readingC. reading tasks are assigned with little guidanceD. too much time is spent in teaching about reading58. The teaching of reading will be successful if ________.A. teachers can improve conditions at school for the studentsB. teachers can enable students to develop their own way of readingC. teachers can devise the most efficient system for readingD. teachers can make their teaching activities observable59. The word “scrutiny” (Line 3, Para. 3) most probably means “________”.A. inquiryB. observationC. controlD. suspicion60. According to the passage, learning to read will no longer be a difficult task when ________.A. children become highly motivatedB. teacher and learner roles are interchangeableC. teaching helps children in the search for knowledgeD. reading enriches children’s experience61. The main idea of the passage is that ________.A. teachers should do as little as possible in helping students learn to readB. teachers should encourage students to read as widely as possibleC. reading ability is something acquired rather than taughtD. reading is more complicated than generally believedPassage TwoQuestions 62 to 66 are based on the following passage.The failed Skylab will come screaming home to earth in disappointment sometime next month. But it willfall we know not where.That precise information is beyond even the calculations of scientists and their computers.The best they can tell us is that the space station, weighing 77 tons and as high as a 12 story building, will break into hundreds of pieces that will be scattered across a track 100 miles wide and 4,000 miles long.We are again exposed to one of those unexpected adventures, or misadventures, of science that attracts our attention from the boring routines of daily existence and encourages us to think a lot about man’s future.What worries Richard Smith, the Skylab’s director, is the “big pieces” that will come through the atmosphere, Two lumps, weighing 2 tons each, and ten, weighing at least 1,000 pounds each, will come in at speeds of hundreds of miles an hour and if they crash on land they will dig holes up to 100 feet deep.What worries us, with our lack of scientific knowledge and our quick imagination, is both the big and little pieces, although project officials say there is a very small chance that anyone will be injured by them.That’s good to know, but it doesn’t remove the doubts of the millions who still remember the nuclear accident at Three Mile Island. That accident took place in 1979 in spite of what the officials had assured us as to the safety of the nuclear reactor.62.

The author suggests that ________.A. the danger of the Skylab’s fall has been overestimatedB. it’s useless to worry over things you can’t do anything aboutC. the danger of the Skylab’s fall has been underestimatedD. computers can solve the problem caused by the broken Skylab65. The author refers to Three Mile Island ________.A. because he is doubtful about what the officials saidB. because he fears that a piece of the Skylab may strike a nuclear power plantC. because he is afraid of the use of nuclear powerD. because the nuclear reactor there and the Skylab were both built by the same company66. This passage is mainly about the author’s ________.A. interest in the failure of the SkylabB. willingness to give his adviceC. eagerness to see more new scientific discoveriesD. concern that science cannot answer all questionsSection C Blank FillingDirections:In this section, there are ten sentences with ten blanks.
