Please write your answers on the Answer Sheet.Entering college is like starting a new phase of life where you have to learn to support yourself. You will have to adjust to your new 1 , try to do everything by yourself and learn to stand on your own. As you 2 the ups and downs of student life, you will learn how to 3 problems that arise.College life is very 4 from that in the middle school. It’s the place where teenagers become adults and academia meets 5 . Ideally, your time at college will help you mature physically and mentally, equip you with 6 and prepare you for your professional career.It is a challenging process, and it is not realistic to 7 everything to always work in your favor. You won’t win every prize and you won’t be 8 with all your classmates all the time. Setbacks and challenges – like failure, betrayal and unjust 9 – are just as important for your growth as the good times. Only when you have 10 these things can you know what society and life is like. II. Fast Reading(10 points)Crisis-proof Your MarriageExperts say that most difficult marriage situations can be salvaged as long as both parties are willing. “It takes commitment, but it can and does happen,” note Diane Sollee, director of the Coalition for Marriage, Family and Couples Education in Washington, D.C. Here are the ways:Cool off. When emotions are raw, Lonnie Barbach, co-author of Going the Distance: Finding and Keeping Lifelong Love, recommends therapy. “It’s helpful to have a therapist’s objective point of view because, typically, each person just sees what the other person is doing, not how he or she is contributing to the problem.”Therapy needn’t take a big commitment of money and time. Many churches, synagogues and community mental-health centers offer free counseling or support groups. And many therapists practice something called solution-oriented brief therapy, which focuses on problem solving and can take only a few sessions.Learn to Listen. Let your partner express his or her opinion without interruption, then repeat what was said without expressing an opinion: “Just so I understand, what you are feeling is this…”“People don’t necessarily want you agree them, but at least understand what happened,” says Almas Dell Smith, director of the Behavioral Treatment Center in Bookline, Mass., and author of Stress and Marriage.Admit Mistakes. A wife in Woodstock, III., was never comfortable speaking openly with her husband because she feared how he might react. But her silence made him feel shut out. When her sister’s death caused her to retreat further into herself, he turned to another woman for emotional (not sexual) support.At first the wife blamed him totally for the rift. “I’d cry and say it was all fault. But there was another part of me saying, ‘It takes two.’ By not communication openly, I contributed to the problem,” she admits. The couple went for therapy, where the wife learned it was important to speak her mind, and the husband realized he needed to make her feel comfortable to do so. Their marriage is now much stronger.“In every marital conflict it’s important for people to see their own responsibility in the issue – they don’t make progress until they do,” says John Gottman, author of Why Marriages Succeed or Fail.Give Love a Chance. Today’s busy couples often put their marriage in a less important position,without constant efforts to strengthen it, their marriage may turn into a failure.One dual-income couple in Washington, D.C., realized that the intimacy and sharing they had once treasured had disappeared. Problems cropped up about ten years ago when the husband, a 48-year-old financial analyst, had to work long hours and make frequent business trips, while the wife, 44, was busy with her career as a health and human-services program manager. The husband thought he could deal with their problems by taking a lower-paying job that gave him more time at home. But their marital problems were compounded by outside stresses and a clinical depression that the wife suffered.Fortunately they had spiritual support from a church couples group which helped them use their communication skills. Today the marriage is strong again, but the couple knows now never to be too confident. Even so, the wife says, “we’re constantly looking to decrease the stress in our lives. We want to make sure we don’t get into trouble again.”Give Yourself Time. If there has been a betrayal, such as infidelity, don’t expect the wounds to heal quickly. “Forgiveness doesn’t happen all at on ce,” warns Michele Weiner-Davis, author of Divorce Busting.After his wife discovered he was having an affair, a Reno, Nev., man realized what a mistake he’d made. The hurt was deep, however, and he knew he’d have to work hard to regain his wife’s trust. He made sure he was always where he’d said he would be; he called whenever he was going to be late; be even put aside his shyness and started going dancing with his wife because he knew it meant a lot to her.“It took about a year for the trust to come back,” she admits. Today they’ve been married almost 30 years. “We’re looking forward, not backward.”Questions 11 to 15 are based on Passage 1.11. Experts say that difficult marital situations can be salvaged.A. allB. noneC. fewD. most12. The best therapy is one that is .A. of high priceB. with long sessionsC. with a trust-worthy therapistD free counseling or support groups13. When your partner expresses his or her opinion, you should .A. listen carefully without interruptionB. turn a deaf ear to what he or she saysC. interrupt time and again to express your own opinionD. agree with or her without reservation even though you have some doubts14. The expression “how he or she is contributing to the problem” (in paragraph 2) probably meansA. in which way he or she is saving the problemB. in which way he or she is causing the problemC. in which way he or she is suffering the problemD. in which way he or she is solving the problem15. Which of the following statement can suggest the main idea of the passage?A. All relationships can experience difficult times.B. Today’s couples often put their marriage in a less important.C. How to cope with the crises of the marriage.D. Young people can have their marriage without conflictIII. Reading Comprehension(20 points)Directions: Read the following passages carefully and choose the best answer from the four choices marked A, B, C and D.Passage 1The AIDS virus is carried in a person's body fluids (体液). The virus can be passed during sex with an infected partner or by sharing instruments used to take intravenous (静脉注射的) drugs. It can also be passed in blood or fluids made from blood or from a pregnant (怀孕的) woman with AIDS to her developing baby.Many stories about the spread of AIDS are false. You cannot get AIDS from working or attending school with someone who has the disease. You cannot get it from drinking glasses or other objects used by such persons. Officials say no one has caught AIDS by living with, caring for, or touching an AIDS patient.There are several warning signs of being infected with AIDS. They include always feeling tired, unexplained (无法解释的) weight loss, and uncontrolled expulsion (排泄) of body wastes. Other warning signs are the appearance of white areas on the mouth, dark red areas of skin that do not go away,and a higher than normal body temperature.However, just because you have one or more of these conditions does not mean you have AIDS. Always go to a doctor or health center for a complete examination. The doctor may give you an AIDS blood test.When a virus enters the body, the body's defenses against disease produce antibodies (抗体) to fight the virus. The test shows if the body has produced antibodies to the AIDS virus. Results of the test are known after a few hours. The test tells only if your body has produced AIDS antibodies. It cannot tell if you have AIDS or if you will ever get the disease. In December (1988), the United States government approved (批准) a simpler and faster AIDS blood test. The newer test can confirm (证实) the presence (出现) of the AIDS antibodies in about five minutes.16. The AIDS virus can spread ___________.A. only from a man to womanB. among those who share drug instrumentsC. by shaking hands with someone who has the virusD. by touching an AIDS patient17. It is wrongly thought that ___________.A. the AIDS virus can be passed during sexB. the AIDS virus can spread from an expecting mother to her babyC. the AIDS virus can be passed by touching infected bloodD. one can get AIDS by working or attending school with someone who has the disease18. The warning signs of being infected with AIDS do not include ____________.A. weight lossB. uncontrolled expulsion of body wastesC. the appearance of red areas of skinD. a body temperature lower than a normal one19. If a person is worried that he might have AIDS, he should go to _____________.A. a government officeB. a defense systemC. an antibody production centerD. a doctor or health center 20. _________ can show if one has AIDS.A. Whether one has a defense method against AIDSB. Whether one has unexplained weight lossC. Whether the AIDS antibodies are produced in the bodyD. The doctor's complete examinationPassage 2Personal computers and the Internet give people new choices about how to spend their time.Some may use this freedom to share less time with certain friends or family members, but new technology will also let them stay in closer touch with those they care about most. I know this from personal experience.Email (电子邮件) makes it easy to work at home, which is where I now spend most weekends and evenings. My working hours aren't automatically much shorter than they once were, but I spend fewer of them at the office. This lets me share more time with my young daughter than I might have if she'd been born before electronic mail became such a practical tool.The Internet also makes it easy to share thoughts with a group of friends. Say you do something fun —see a great film, perhaps—and there are four or five friends who might want to hear about it. If you call each one, you may tire of telling the story.With email, you just write one note about your experience, at your convenience (方便), and address it to all the friends you think might be interested. They can read your message when they have time, and read only as much as they want. They can reply at their convenience, and you can read what they have to say at your convenience.Email is also an inexpensive way to stay in close touch with people who live far away. More than a few parents use email to keep in touch, even daily touch, with their children off at college.We just have to keep in mind that computers and the Internet offer another way of staying in touch. They don't eliminate (排除) any of the old ways.21. The purpose of this passage is to ________.A. explain how to use the InternetB. describe the writer's joy of keeping up with new technologyC. tell the merits and usefulness of the InternetD. introduce the reader to basic knowledge about personal computers and the Internet22. The use of email has made it possible for the writer to ________.A. spend less time workingB. have more free time with his childC. work at home on weekendsD. work at a speed comfortable to him23. According to the writer, email has a clear advantage over the telephone because email helps one_______.A. reach a group of people at one time convenientlyB. keep one's communication as personal as possibleC. pass on much more information than the telephoneD. get in touch with one's friends faster than the telephone24. The passage discussed all the following elements of email EXCEPT _______.A. its costB. the way of writingC. the saving of timeD. its easy and convenient use25. The best subject for this passage is ________.A. Computers: New Technological AdvancesB. Internet: A New Tool to Make FriendsC. Computers Have Made Life EasierD.

'We have to push as many tourists through each side as we can. I 'm supposed to han dle 2,000 visitors an hour. It 'just like a factory with assembly-li ne product ion, only this is a fun factory. " Cohe n says that the most importa nt thi ng for the compa ny is the nu mber of people who are processed through each side; if the nu mber is too small, the man ageme nt compla ins to the workers. But he says that you n ever hear the manageme nt ask, Are being safe eno ugh? ”Disney workers also have to smile all the time. Even when customers are rude (which happe ns every day ), the workers must keep smili ng. Cohe n says: We are supposed to make eye con tact, greet each and every guest and smile for eight hours. If you don', you get reprimanded (训斥)."He added he sometimes hears customers saying that the workers at Disney are not so happy as they used to be.

Being able to find after-sales service creates a feeling of convenience and a sense of responsibility from the manufacturer .This is very important to build customer loyalty and explains why more 24-hour hotline centers are available nowadays.Product guarantee is also one of the major factors when a potential customer decides to make a purchase. Whether this be in the form of a written guarantee or a guarantee based on reputation, the importance to the consumer is self-evident. A brand 's research & development, an unavoidable investment, usually back up safety guarantees for marketers nowadays. Product testing and refinement are conducted for both new and existing products. With the help of computerized machinery, quality control has achieved the highest level than ever before to enable consistency in production.

They can use their psychic ability to heal people whoare sick, to give advice, to give hints about the future, and to do many other things. And it's not just individuals who use psychics; sometimes companies and governments use psychics, too. One year a company called Delphi and Associates earned $120,000 on the stock market with the help of psychics."So how can I get some psychic help?" you may ask yourself. Well, you don't have to pay a lot of money to a professional psychic. You can start by using your own psychic ability.Psychic abilities are really just another sense, similar to our other five senses. The difference is that we never develop our psychic sense in the same way that we develop our other senses. We train our eyes to see the difference between a V and a U; we train our ears to hear the difference between a /ch/ and a /sh/ sound;we can feel the difference between silk and leather; we can smell and taste if milk is sour. But our sixth sense, our psychic sense, seldom develops very much. Because most of us ignore our psychic sense for so long, it takes some time to develop it. If you have never played soccer before, you cannot expect to be a good player after three lessons. It might take years to become really good. Psychic ability works the same way.21. People use psychics _____ .A. mainly to see the futureB. to make moneyC. to see what one cannot usually seeD. for many reasons22. _____ learn to use their psychic abilityA. Many peopleB. Many companiesC. Few peopleD. Few governments23. Psychic abilities _______ .A. are similar to other sensesB. work in the same way as other sensesC. are different from other sensesD. work together with other senses24. Our psychic sense seldom develops very much because ______ .A. we never use itB. we never believe in itC. we ignore itD. we don't want to take time to train it25. The attitude of the author towards psychic abilities is ______ .A. positiveB. ironicalC. criticalD. neutralPassage 4It is not often realized that women held a high place in southern European societies in the 10th and 11th centuries. As a wife, the woman was protected by the setting up of a dowry （嫁妆）or decimum. Admittedly, the purpose of this was to protect her against the risk of being abandoned, but in reality its function in the social and family life of the time was much more important. The decimum was the wife's right to receive a tenth of all her husband's property.The wife had the right to hold back consent, in all transactions （交易）the husband would make. And more than just a right: the documents show that she enjoyed a real powerof decision, equal to that of her husband. In no case do the documents indicate any degree of difference in the legal status of husband and wife.The wife shared in the management of her husband's personal property, but the opposite was not always true. Women seemed perfectly prepared to defend their own inheritance against husbands who tried to exceed their rights, and on occasion they showed a fine fighting spirit. A case in point is that of Maria Vivas, a Catalan woman of Barcelona. Having agreed with her husband Miro to sell a field she had inherited, for the needs of the household, she insisted on compensation （赔偿）. None being offered, she succeeded in dragging her husband to the official in charge to have a contract duly drawn up assigning her a piece of land from Miro's personal inheritance. The unfortunate husband was obliged to agree, as the contract says, "for the sake of peace." Either through the dowry or through being hot-tempered, the Catalan wife knew how to win herself, within the context of the family, a powerful economic position.26. A decimum was _______ .A. the wife's inheritance from her fatherB. a gift of money to the new husbandC. a written contractD. the wife's right to receive one-tenth of her husband's property27. In the society described in the passage, the legal standing of the wife in marriage wasA. higher than that of her husbandB. lower than that of her husbandC. the same as that of her husbandD. higher than that of a single woman28. What compensation did Maria Vivas get for the field?A. Some of the land Miro had inherited.B. A tenth of Miro's landC. Money for household expenses.D. Money from Miro's inheritance.29. Could a husband sell his wife's inheritance?A. No, under no circumstances.B. Yes, whenever he wished to.C. Yes, if she agreed.D. Yes, if his father-in-law agreed.30. Which of the following is NOT mentioned as an effect of the dowry system?A. The husband had to share the power of decision in marriage.B. The wife was protected from being abandoned.C. The wife gained a powerful economic position.D. The husba nd was give n con trol over his wife's property.Part III.

Reading Comprehension(阅读理解：每题选择一个最佳选项)[A]This year some twenty-three hundred teen-agers(young people aged from 13-19)from all over the world will spend about ten months in U. S. homes. They will attend U. S. schools, meet U. S. teen-agers, and form impressions of the real America. At the same time, about thirteen hundred American teen-agers will go to other countries to learn new languages and gain a new understanding of the rest of the world.Here is a two-way student exchange(交换)in action. Fred, nineteen, spent last year in Germany with George's family. In turn, George’s son Mike spent a year in Fred's home in America.Fred, a lively young man, knew little German when he arrived, but after two months' study, the language began to come to him. School was completely different from what he had expected-much harder. Students rose respectfully when the teacher entered the room. They took fourteen subjects instead of the six that are usual in the United States. There were almost no outside activities(活动).Family life, too, was different. The father's word was law, and all activities were around the family rather than the individual(个人). Fred found the food too simple at first. Also, he missed having a car."Back home, you pick up some friends in a car and go out and have a good time. In Germany, you walk, but you soon learn to like it."At the same time, in America, Mike, a friendly German boy, was also forming his idea. "I suppose I should criticize(批评)American schools", he says. "It is far too easy by our level. But I have to say that I like it very much. In Germany we do nothing but study. Here we take part in many outside activities. I think that maybe you schools are better in training for citizens(公民). There ought to be some middle ground between the two. "1. This year _____ teen-agers will take part in the exchange program between America and other countries.A. twenty three hundredB. thirteen hundredC. over three thousandD. less than two thousand2. The whole exchange program is mainly to _____ .A. help teen-agers in other countries know the real America.B. send students in America to travel in GermanyC. let students learn something about other countriesD. have teen-agers learn new languages3. Fred and Mike agreed that _____ .A. American food tasted better than German foodB. German schools were harder than American schoolsC. Americans and Germans were both friendlyD. There were more cars on the streets in America4. What is particular in American schools is that _____ .A. there is some middle ground between the two teaching buildingsB. there are a lot of after-school activitiesC. students usually take fourteen subjects in allD. students go outside to enjoy themselves in a car5. After experiencing the American school life, Mike thought _____ .A. a better education should include something good from both America and GermanyB. German schools trained students to be better citizensC. American schools were not as good as German schoolsD. the easy life in the American school was more helpful to students[B]In order to learn a foreign language well, it is necessary to overcome the fear of making mistakes. If the primary goal of language use is communication, the mistakes are secondary considerations that may be dealt with gradually as awareness of those mistakes increases. On the other hand, students should not ignore their mistakes. The language learner may observe how native speakers express themselves, and how native expressions differ from the way the learner might say them. For example, a Spanish speaker who has been saying " I do it" to express willingness to do something in the immediate future, but, by interacting with native speakers of English, you may observe that native speakers actually say "I'll do it." The resulting discrepancy(差异) can serve as a basis for the student to modify his way of using the present tense in English. But a student who is unwilling to interact in the first place would lose this opportunity to learn by trial and error.6. According to the passage, foreign language students should not worry too much about making mistakes because ___________.A. native speakers will ignore their mistakesB. communication is the primary goal of language learningC. everyone makes mistakes when trying to communicate in a strange languageD. native speakers like foreign students who try to learn their language7. According to the passage, the present tense in English is ___________.A. not used to express a desire to do something in the immediate futureB. used with some verbs but not with others to express future intentionC. basically the same in English as it is in SpanishD. not the most difficult problem for foreign students8. The author thinks that language learners can reduce the number of their mistakes by ___________.A. asking native speakers for explanationsB. reading good books in the foreign languageC. comparing their speech with that of native speakersD. speaking without regard to native speakers9. The passage implies that foreign students who do not interact with native speakers will not ___________.A. learn very much about the foreign cultureB. learn about the history of the foreign languageC. have to worry about making mistakesD. take advantage of available language models10. The author's major conclusion about the function of mistakes in foreign language learning is that ___________.A. mistake are not important in the process of learning a languageB. learners are often very afraid of making mistakesC. making mistakes can help the learner discover the rules of the languageD. mistakes do not interfere with communication[C]After a busy day of work and play, the body needs to rest. Sleep is necessary for good health. During this time, the body recovers from the activities of the previous day. The rest that you get while sleeping enables your body to prepare itself for the next day.There are four levels of sleep, each being a little deeper than the one before. As you sleep, your muscles relax little by little. Your heart beats more slowly, and your brain slows down. After you reach the fourth level, your body shifts back and forth（来回地）from one level of sleep to the other.Although your mind slows down, from time to time you will dream. Scientists who study sleep state that when dreaming occurs, your eyeballs begin to move more quickly (although your eyelids are closed). This stage of sleep is called REM, which stands for rapid eye movement.If you have trouble falling asleep, some people recommend breathing very slowly and very deeply. Other people believe that drinking warm milk will help make you drowsy（昏昏欲睡的）. There is also an old suggestion that counting sheep will put you to sleep!11. A good title for this passage is ____________.A. SleepB. Good HealthC. DreamsD. Work and Rest12. The word "drowsy" in the last paragraph means ____________.A. sickB. stand upC. a little sleepyD. asleep13. The passage suggests that not getting enough sleep might make you ____________.A. dream more oftenB. have poor healthC. nervousD. breathe quickly14. During REM, ____________.A. your eyes move quicklyB. you dreamC. you are restlessD. both A and B15. The average number of hours of sleep that an adult needs is ____________.A. approximately six hoursB. around ten hoursC. about eight hoursD. not stated here[D]How much living space does a person need? What happens when his space requirements are not adequately met? Sociologists and psychologists are conducting experiments on rats to try to determine the effects of overcrowded conditions on man. Recent studies have shown that the behavior of rats is greatly affected by space. If rats have adequate living space, they eat well, sleep well, and reproduce well. However, if their living conditions become too crowded, their behavior patterns and even their health perceptibly(可感知地) change. They cannot sleep and eat well, and signs of fear and tension become obvious. The more crowed they are, the more they tend to bite each other and even kill each other. Thus for rats, population and violence are directly related. Is this a natural law for human society as well? Is adequate space not only desirable, but essential for human survival?16. This passage is mainly about _________.A. living space and behaviorB. population and living conditionsC. interesting experiments on ratsD. a natural law for human society17. What is the purpose of the experiments described in the passage?A. To determine how much living space a rat needs.B. To see what happens when rats live in a limited space.C. To know the likely effects of inadequate living space on human beings.D. to find out the relationship between population and living conditions.18. Which is NOT a result of being too crowded for rats?A. They become nervous.B. they cannot get enough rest.C. They become less active.D. They eat less.19. The passage suggests that overcrowded conditions _________.A. are directly related with populationB. may cause an increase in violenceC. may lead to high birth rateD. may bring about pollution problems20. The author seems to imply that _________.A. human society is very similar to that of ratsB. birth control is essential fro a better lifeC. efforts should be made to improve living conditionsD. rats are not social animals[E]The United States is full of automobiles. There are still many families without cars, but some families have two or ever more. However, cars are used for more than pleasure. There are a necessary part of life.Cars are used for business. They are driven to offices and factories by workers who have no other way to get to their jobs. When salesmen are sent to different parts of the city, they have to drive in order to carry their products. Farmers have to drive into the city in order to get supplies.Sometimes small children must be driven to school. In some cities school buses are provided only when children live more than a mile from the school. When the children are too young to walk that far, their mothers take turn driving them to school. One mother drives on Monday, taking her own children and the neighbors' children as well. Another mother drives on Tuesday, another on Wednesday, and so on. This is called forming a car poll. Men also form car pools, with three or four men taking turns driving to the place where they all work.More car pools should be formed in order to put fewer automobiles on the road and to use less gasoline. Parking is great problem, and so is the traffic in and around cities. Too many cars are being driven. Something will have to be done about the use of cars.21. Which is NOT true according to the passage?A. Each American family has got at least one car.B. Some American families have got more than one car.C. Cars are very common in the United States.D. Americans do not use cars for pleasure only.22. According to the passage, children must be taken to school by car when ________.A. their homes are over one mile away from their schoolB. there are no school buses available and the school is too far away for thechildren to go to on footC. there are a number of children in the neighborhood and their families have theirown carsD. the children are too young to walk23. Which people are forming a car pool?A.Children who drive to school in turns.B. A woman who takes her own children and her neighbors' children to school by car.C. Three or four people who drive in turns to the office or the factory where they all work.D. Parents who drive their oven children to school in turns.24. What does the author think of forming car pool?A. It is a good practice.B. It is good only for mothers taking children to schoolC. It will cause parking problems.D. It helps cut down the number of cars produced each year.25. What does the author think is the problem about cars in the United States?A. There is a shortage of gasoline for a car.B. There are too many cars in the streets and on the roads.C. There are not enough cars to go around.D. Some families still do not have their own cars.[F]A four-year study conducted by the Infant(婴儿) Testing Center in San Francisco, California, suggests that babies feel more comfortable around other babies than with strange adults. According to the study, babies benefit by being with their fellow infants daily. Whereas a baby might show fear of an adult stranger, he is likely to smile and reach out for an unfamiliar infant. By the time babies are one year old, they have begun to form friendships of a sort.The above findings, based on observation of 100 babies aged three months to three years, might prove interesting to working parents who must find day care for their babies. Family care in a private home, with several babies together, is probably the idea way to care for babies under three. Dr. Benjamin Spock, well-known pediatrician(儿科医生) and author of books about babies, supports the idea. He says that family day care is better in theory than hiring a housekeeper or a babysitter.11.

The author is talking to _________.A. working parentsB. researchers on infantsC. pediatriciansD. babies under three[G]It is a matter of common observation that although incomes keep going up over the years, people never seem to become much better off! Prices are rising continuously. This condition is termed one of inflation; the money supply is becoming inflated so that each unit of it becomes less valuable. People have grown accustomed in recent years to higher and higher rates of inflation. What could be bought ten years ago for one dollar now costs well over two dollars. Present indications are that this rate of inflation is tending to rise rather than to fall. If in the real world our money incomes go up at the same rate as prices one might think that inflation does not matter. But it does. When money is losing value it lacks one of the qualities of a good money - stability of value. It is no longer acceptable as a store of value; and it becomes an unsuitable standard of deferred(延迟) payments. Nobody wants to hold a wasting asset(资产), so people try to get rid of money as quickly as possible. Inflation therefore stimulates consumer spending, and prevents people from saving.21. Inflation is a situation in which __________.A. we find our money increase in its valueB. employment no longer becomes a problemC. people can always find better paying jobsD. money keeps losing its value22. According to the author, inflation __________.A. seldom happensB. is very common at the present timeC. has become rare in recent yearsD. is just reasonable23. According to the passage, if incomes and prices rise together __________.A. money will hold its valueB. inflation poses no problemC. inflation will remain to be a problemD. the business will prosper24. When money loses its value __________.A. its rate against gold will be kept at the same levelB. it is no longer stableC. goods will lose their valueD. incomes will keep rising25. In a period of inflation, people are likely to __________.A. invest heavily on the stock marketB. save moneyC. hold on to money as a dependable assetD. spend money and not bother(烦恼) to save[H]Sports and games make our bodies strong, prevent us from getting too fat, and keep us healthy. But these are not their only use. They give us valuable practice in making eyes, brain and muscles work together. In tennis, our eyes see the ball coming, judge its speed and direction and pass this information on to the brain. The brain then has to decide what to do, and to send its orders to the muscles of the arms, legs, and so on, so that the ball is met and hit back where it ought to go. All this must happen with very great speed, and only those who have had a lot of practice at tennis can carry out this complicated chain of events successfully. For those who work with their brains most of the day, the practice of such skills is especially useful.Sports and games are also very useful for character training. In their lessons at school, boys and girls may learn about such virtues as unselfishness, courage, discipline and love of one's country; but what is learned in books cannot have the same deep effect on a child's character as what is learned by experience. The ordinary day-school cannot give much practical training in living, because most of the pupil's time is spent in classes, studying lessons. So it is what the pupils do in their spare time that really prepares them to take their place in society as citizens when they grow up. If each of them learns to work for his society as citizens when they grow up. If each of them learns to work for his team and not forhimself on the football field, he will later find it natural to work for the good of his country instead of only for his own benefit.26. When we play tennis we have to _________.A. use, first, our eyes, then the brain and finally the musclesB. make our eyes, brain and muscles work almost at the same timeC. use mainly the arms and legs to hitD. use mainly the muscles so that the ball is met and hit back27. The "complicated chain of events" refers to _________.A. the passing of information and making of decisionsB. the meeting and hitting back of the ballC. the coordinated(协调的) movements of our eyes, brain and musclesD. a lot of practice before playing tennis28. By character-training, the author means that sports and games can help children _________.A. live a better life when they grow upB. know letter how to behave properly in their future lifeC. understand better the virtues they learn in booksD. All of the above29. According to the author, a child's character can be most deeply influenced by _________.A. what he does out of classB. what he learns in booksC. his place in societyD. his lessons at school30. What is of the greatest importance to a football team isA. its membersB. its team workC. the football fieldD. the climate[I]My formula for staying young is simple: concentrate on the part of you that's young and growing - your brain. Keep your mind awake and you'll stay young all over. These are exciting times. Take an interest in the world around you, and make a point of learning at least one new thing every day.Regardless of your age, it's not too late to make your life more interesting. I know a housewife with no previous knowledge who made herself into an outstanding industrial designer; I know a retired electrical engineer who has become a highly paid ceramic artist.Get over the notion that you are ever too old to go back to school. I know a man who entered medical college at 70. He got his degree with honors and became an eminent physician. Another man went to law school at 71 and his now an active lawyer.In spite of years, staying young is easy for those who live in the future. You can do it if you care enough to try. Keep your mind awake and active; that's the only youth elixir(万灵药) guaranteed to work.31. The statement that our brain remains young and growing regardless of age is __________.A. an impossibilityB. a scientific factC. a suppositionD. a ridiculous conclusion32. It is wrong to __________.A. think oneself too old to go back to schoolB. keep one's mind awakeC. try to stay youngD. get one's degree with honor33. The passage states that a man who entered college at 70 became __________.A. an active lawyerB. an electric engineerC. a distinguished doctorD. a highly paid ceramic artist34. The only youth elixir is to __________.A. go back to schoolB. forget one's own ageC. keep in touch with young peopleD. keep one's mind awake and active35. All of the following statement are true EXCEPT that __________.A. human brain never gets old with ageB. every person should take up a new occupation when he becomes oldC. staying young is not difficult if one is willing to tryD. there is always something to learn if you have an interest in what's going on around youIV. Translation(翻译：把下列英文翻译成汉语)[A]When I was growing up, I was embarrassed to be seen with my father. He was severely crippled and very short, and when we walked together, his hand on my arm for balance, people would stare. I would inwardly struggle at the unwanted attention. If he ever noticed or was bothered, he never let on. It was difficult to coordinate our steps---his halting, mine impatient---and because of that, we didn’t say much as we went along. But as we started out, he always said, “You set the pace, I will try to adjust to you.”[B]Alone now, the widow reads considerably. She used to underline favorite passages to share with her husband.Now, in a notebook, she stores quotations like this one from Elizabeth Jolley’s Cabin Fever: “I experience again the deep-felt wish to be part of a married couple, to sit by the fire in winter with the man who is my husband. So intense is this wish that if I write the word husband on a piece of paper, my eyes fill with tears.”。

She is recalling old times as she waits for her family's arrival. The nursing home has been Melinda's new settlement ever since Thomas passed away a week ago. Thomas had fought a long and hard battle against lung cancer for three years. Unfortunately, he has broken the promise that he and Melinda had made: to be with each other for every birthday. Melinda knew this was unrealistic but agreed to the promise for Thomas’s sake.“Thomas, you are completely a dreamer!” Melinda shouted to Thomas as he dragged on about living on an island with his beautiful wife. That s what she loved about him most—he had a vivid imagination. They got married at age eighteen and began having children right away. Mary came within the year，followed by Thomas Benjamin II, Lilly-Ann, and Joseph “Little Joey' George. The family lived an exultant life filled with laughter and love.“Mom!” Lilly shouted, but it really sounded like a howl. Melinda had lost herself in thinking about the life she had shared with her late husband. Lilly pushed her down the long dark halls of the nursing home until they arrived at the recreational room.When the doors opened, Melinda put her hand over her mouth and was completely speechless. The room was crowded with the people nearest and dearest to her and the warmth and love was felt instantly. The night went on; stories and cocktails were shared and everything was perfect. However, when Melinda caught a moment to herself she looked around at her family. With a smile on her face, she raised her Manhattan and called out for a toast. “This one is for you, Thomas，though you are not here.”36. Why did Thomas break his promise?A. He was busy with his work.B.He died of lung cancer.C. He had to serve in the army.D.He stopped loving Melinda.37. Which of the following best explains “exultant” underlined in Paragraph 2?A. Peaceful.B. Simple.C. Stressful.D. Happy.38. What can we infer from the last paragraph?A. Melinda，children forgot their father.B. Melinda was tired of noise.C. Melinda missed her husband badly.D. Melinda liked to drink alcohol,39. What can be a suitable title for the text?A. A Particular BirthdayB. A Woman at a Nursing HomeC. Memories of Old DaysD. A Big Surprise for MelindaPassage BSpotify can tell if you’re sad. Here’s why that should scare you. Want to figure out if someone is a patient with a mental disability? Ask them what their favorite song is. A New York University study last year found that people who loved Eminem's Lose Yourself and Justin Bieber's What Do You Mean? were more likely to have trouble with mental disabilities than people who were into Dire Straits.Over the past few years，Spotify has been improving the ability to analyze information to help businessmen target consumers with advertisements made specially for their needs. They conclude this from the sort of music you’re listening to, combined with where and when you’re listening to it, along with third-party data that might be available.Now, to be clear, there’s nothing significantly illegal about what Spotify is doing with your information. I certainly don't think that they are working with shadowy consulting firms to serve you ads selling a culture struggle while you're listening to music that suggests you might be in a terrible situation. However, I find it disappointing that our personal, private moments with music are increasingly being turned into information points and offered to advertisers.You can see where this could go，can’t you? As ad targeting gets ever more accurate, businessmen will have the ability to target our feelings in potentially improper ways. According to one study, you are more likely to spend more on a product if you’re feeling sad. You can imagine some companies might take advantage of that. And on that note，I’m feeling a littledown about all this. Head off to treat myself to something expensive.40. What's the purpose of the first paragraph?A. To introduce a new song.B. To draw readers’ attention.C. To help more patients.D. To promote a new medium.41. Spotify improves its ability to analyze information to______.A. provide services for the governmentB. work with shadowy consulting firmsC. get listeners' personal informationD. help businessmen attract consumers42. What s the author’s attitude towards Spotify?A. Uncertain.B. Supportive.C. Positive.D.Dissatisfied.43. Who is the text probably designed for?A. Internet users.B. Officials.C. Researchers.D.Managers.Passage CAn exciting landing process of Chang'e-4 lunar probe (月球探测器）was seen through the monitor at Beijing Aerospace Control Center in Beijing，Jan. 3, 2019. It touched down on the far side of the moon at 10:26 a.m. Beijing Time, becoming the first spacecraft soft-landing on the moon’s unknown side never visible from Earth.China’s Chang'e-4 probe has started the exploration on the far side of the moon thanks to the relay satellite that provides a communication link with ground control. The relay satellite, named Queqiao, meaning Magpie Bridge, after a Chinese legend, was launched on May 21,2018，and became the first communication satellite operating in the halo orbit, nearly 500,000 km from the earth. It can also provide communication for probes from other countries. The relay satellite will also be used for scientific and technological experiments. The maximum distance between the satellite and the Chang'e-4 probe on the far side of the moon is 79,000 km. The satellite processes data from the probe and sends it to Earth.The satellite can stay in its orbit for a long time due to its relatively low fuel consumption, as the earth’s and moon's gravity balances its orbital moving. While in orbit, it can “see” both the earth and the far side of the moon.The concept of using a relay satellite in the halo orbit was first put forward by U.S. space expertsin the 1960s, but was realized by Chinese space engineers.Researchers hope to use the cameras on the satellite to record asteroids (小行星）hitting the far side of the moon. To control the cost of the Chang'c-4 probe, the relay satellite was designed to be relatively small, weighing about 400 kg.Researchers had just 30 months to develop the satellite, putting them under high pressure. To promote public interest in space exploration, the China National Space Administration invited people to write down their wishes for lunar and space exploration, and the relay satellite carries the names of tens of thousands of participants and their messages.44. What do we learn from the second paragraph?A. The relay satellite was launched on Jan. 3, 2019.B.Chang'e-4 probe was the first communication satellite.C. The relay satellite only explores the far side of the moon.D. The relay satellite can handle data from Chang'e-4 probe.45. Why was the size of the relay satellite relatively small?A. To reduce the cost as much as possible.B. To make it circle Moon for a longer time.C. To avoid being crashed by other satellites.D. To follow American space experts，advice.46. What made researchers suffer from great stress?A. Few people interested in the exploration on the moon.B. The relay satellite carrying too much equipment.C. Their lacking enough time to develop the relay satellite.D. People’s never being optimistic about the relay satellite47. What is the main idea of the text?A. China is a new space power after the USA.B.Change-4 probe lands on Moon’s far side.C. Chinese space engineers make much progress.D. Space exploration is a dangerous challenge.Passage DLast year marked the 100th anniversary of the end of World War I. There were events around theworld in memory of those who died in the conflict. We have picked out three of them in European countries. Let's take a look.BelgiumIn a park, the famous Belgian artist Koen Vanmechelen had an exhibition called Coming World, Remember Me. The work consisted of 600,000 individual(单独的）clay sculptures, one for exhibition was a big egg made of clay each person killed during the World War. In the center of the exhibition was a big egg made of clay, symbolizing a new world.UKIn a small town called Aldridge. almost 100 houses in one street were covered with 24,000poppies and statues of sold.They stood for the men from the area who had been killed in the war. The flowers were chosen because of a poem written by the Canadian doctor John McCrea in1915. They made people think of fields of blood.FranceThe British artist Guy Denning arrived in La Feuille，a small town in the northwest of France, to stick life-size drawings of soldiers who never came back home. Armed with glue and a brush, Denning stuck his drawings carefully on walls. Before long 112 men, ma.nly young adults, were brought back to mind, if not to life.48. What do we know about Coming World. Remember Me?A. It's the name of an exhibition.B. It's a film about World War I.C. It's a work standing for peace.D. It's a sculpture made of clay.49. Why were poppies chosen to symbolize the dead soldiers?A. The British people preferred them.B. They showed the cruelty of war.C. A Canadian doctor suggested them.D. The fields were filled with them.50. How was the end of World War I marked in France?A. A memorial to the dead soldiers was built.B. 112 wounded soldiers in the war were helped.C. Drawings of some dead soldiers were put up.D. Young adults were encouraged to join the army.Part IV Skimming and Scanning (10%)Technology in education: Current trendsA)Computers and Internet connections are becoming widely available in schools and classrooms. In 1999, 99 percent of teachers in the United States had access to a computer in their schools, and 84 percent had one or more computers in their classrooms. At the same time, Internet connections were also widespread, with 95 percent of schools and 63 percent of classrooms having access. Worldwide, many countries are making the creation and diffusion of information and communications technology (ICT) an important priority.The use of technology to find educational resourcesB) In the past, teachers attempting a problem-based curriculum felt the need to limit problems to those for which they had expertise or the local library had resources. Now the World Wide Web brings a seemingly endless amount of information on almost any subject, and it is possible for students to choose topics based on personal interest rather than availability of resources.C) Internet research projects are gaining popularity. In the spring of 1998, 30 percent of teachers surveyed (and 70 percent of those with high-speed Internet connections) reported they had assigned Internet research tasks to their students during the school year. Use of the Internet to gather information for solving problems sometimes resembles a modern version of library research, in which students gather and synthesize information from published reports. Despite the fact that the task seems traditional, the characteristics of this new medium require special skills for students. The sheer volume of information allows students to study almost any topic, but also makes it more difficult to locate precisely the right information from among the thousands, or even millions, of sites. In addition, the ease of publishing materials on the Internet increases the likelihood that students will encounter inaccurate or biased information. As a result, students must learn new strategies for conducting searches and evaluating the information thatthey retrieve.D) Students carrying out scientific investigations can use the Internet to make observations and collect data. For example, the fourth and fifth graders in California collected insects and sent them to San Diego State University. Using two-way audio and video connecting the school and the university, scientists guided the students in using an electron microscope to examine their specimens. Technology has made it possible to collect data from places students could never visit. In recent projects, high school students explored the floor of the Monterey Bay by studying the video from remotely operated robots, and middle school students were given time to use the Hubble telescope. Students also use technology to collect data in their schools and communities. For example, using handheld computers outfitted with various types of probes （探测仪），students can monitor the water quality at various locations in nearby streams or lakes. By transmitting their individual readings to a laptop computer in a field laboratory they can quickly graph their data and visually compare readings.The use of technology to summarize and present findingsE) In the past, students memorized and used formulas and models created by others to solve problems. Students often used these formulas, especially in the early stages of learning, with little understanding. In the early 21st century computer tools provide the opportunity for students to construct and test their own models using tools such as spreadsheets （电子制表软件）or concept maps （概念图）. This type of instruction deepens students' understanding of abstract concepts and allows these concepts to be taught at an earlier age.F) Once students have summarized their data and other information, they typically communicate their findings to others. Writing reports is still the most widespread use of ICT, with 61 percent of US teachers assigning students word-processing tasks. In addition to text, students also use computer-created graphics, videos, and animations to communicate their ideas.G) The teacher is not the only audience for students' presentations. Students frequently expect to present their work to and receive feedback from their peers and the world outside their classroom. Whether they are using presentation software to accompany a face-to也cepresentation or developing materials to put on the Web, the trend is for students to be able to communicate their work to a broad audience. This increases students' perception that problem-based learning is real work for real audiences.The use of technology for collaboration and distance educationH) There are many opportunities for individual students to use technology to enhance their learning. These include online courses that provide students in remote locations with opportunities for customized curriculum and advanced placement courses （先修课程）. These courses are conducted entirely online and offer asynchronous （异步的）interaction among faculty and students. Because they allow students to participate anytime and from anywhere, online courses are becoming increasingly popular among postsecondary （高等教育）students whose job and personal commitments do not allow them to meet a regular class schedule.I) Opportunities for interaction with peers from other countries can also contribute to knowledge and understanding of other cultures. ICT makes this type of communication possible for anyone with Internet access. For example, the Kidlink project encourages students up to age 15 to use the Internet to build a global network of friends. Kidlink participants discuss issues ranging from how to make and keep friends to war and peace.J) Monitoring students' independent learning in these flexible environments will be supported by sophisticated new assessment technologies that will help teachers collect and analyze students' data and make instructional decisions. These tools will continually assess students' work and provide feedback to them and their teachers. Such assessment has the potential to make time-consuming standardized testing unnecessary and to personalize the curriculum for every student. Ubiquitous，well-integrated technology tools will bring educators closer to redefine the educational enterprise and provide customized, just-in-time solutions for the learning needs of students.____1 Students find it more difficult to locate the right information from among a large number of websites.____2 Teachers will use sophisticated new technologies to assess students' learning in flexible environments and make instructional decisions.____3 Collecting information from the Internet is similar to that in the library as students obtain published reports and process the information in both cases.____4 While teachers had to limit problems to those with resources in the process of teaching in the past, students nowadays can make their own interest-based choices because of a large amount of information available on many subjects.____5 Students of higher education prefer online courses to those given at fixed time and in fixed places due to their other businesses.____6 The Kidlink project encourages students up to 15 to make foreign friends and have discussions about a wide range of issues on the Internet.____7 Many countries around the world prioritize the creation and spread of ICT.____8 By means of two-way audio and video, scientists in San Diego State University instructed the fourth- and fifth-grade students in California to observe specimens with electronic devices. ____9 Face-to-face presentations accompanied by software indicate the trend that students can communicate their work with more people.____10 Because of computer tools, abstract concepts can be better understood by students and be taught at an earlier age.Part V Translation (10%)1. 孔子的许多思想，尤其是教育思想，对中国社会产生了深远的影响。

Culture shock is the effect that involvement in a strange culture has on the unprepared visitor. Culture shock is what happens when a traveler suddenly finds himself in a place where yes may mean no, where a "fixed price" is negotiable, where to be kept waiting in an outer office is no cause for insult, where laughter may signify anger.The culture shock phenomenon causes a breakdown in communication, a misreading of reality, an inability to cope. Yet culture shock is relatively mild in comparison with the much more seriousⅢ. Reading comprehension. (30%)malady（弊病）, future shock. Future shock is brought on by the premature (提前的) arrival of the future. It may well be the most important disease of tomorrow.Take an individual out of his own culture and set him down suddenly in an environment sharply different from his own, with a different set of clues to different conceptions of time, space, work, love, religion, sex,−react to and everything else, then the dislocation he suffers will be severe. Given few clues as to what kind of behavior is rational(合理的) under the radically new circumstances, the victim may well become a danger to himself and others.Now imagine not merely an individual but an entire society, an entire including its weakest, least intelligent, and most irrational−generation suddenly transported into this new world. The result is mass−members disorientation (迷失方向), future shock on a grand scale.This is the prospect that man now faces. Change is avalanching（把... 淹没）upon our heads and most people are unprepared to cope with it.41.

It can be inferred that the author's tone in the passage is ________.A. humorousB. exaggeratedC. ironicD. seriousPassage 2Young people and older people do not always agree. They sometimes have different ideas about living, working and playing. But in one special programme in New York State, adults and teenagers live together in a friendly way.Each summer 200 teenagers and 50 adults live together for eight weeks as members of a special work group. Everyone works several hours each day. They do so not just to keep busy but to findmeaning and enjoyment in work. Some teenagers work in the woods or on the farms near the village. Some learn to make things like tables and chairs and to build houses. The adults teach them these skills.There are several free hours each day. Weekends are free, too. During the free hours some of the teenagers learn photo-taking or painting. Others sit around and talk or sing. Each teenager chooses his own way to spend his free time.When people live together, rules are necessary. In this programme the teenagers and the adults make the rules together. If someone breaks a rule, the problem goes before the whole group. They talk about it and ask, “Why did it happen? What should we do about it?”One of the teenagers has this to say about the experience: “You stop thinking only about yourself. You learn how to think about the group.”46.

The discovery of gold in California in 1848 brought an increased demand for a transportation link across Panama. A railroad line was completed after six years of hard labor in the swamps (沼泽) and jungles. Over two thousand workmen died from yellow fever and malaria (疟疾). In 1881 a French organization tried to build a canal across the Isthmus（巴拿马地峡）. For eleven years workmen struggled against heat and disease. At least 15,000 died before the French gave uptheir attempts to build the canal. For years the abandoned machinery lay in the jungles. At the close of the Spanish-American War the United States bought a strip of land ten miles wide across the Isthmus. Immediate attention was given to the control of diseases. In two years yellow fever was completely eliminated（消除）. Because of the work of American medical heroes, it was possible to build the splendid Panama Canal.51. Prior to(在…之前) the successful completion of the Panama Canal, ________.A. France bought a strip of land across the Isthmus of PanamaB. Malaria was wiped out as a killer diseaseC. one country failed in its attempts to build a canalD. American doctors were honored for their work52.

The discovery of gold in California.C. The efforts recorded in the building of the Panama Canal.D. The work of American medical heroesPassage 4In the primary school, a child is in a comparatively simple setting and most of the time forms a relationship with one familiar teacher. On entering secondary school, a new world opens up and frequently it is a much more difficult world. The pupil soon learns to be less free in the way he speaks to teachers and even to his fellow pupils. He begins to lose gradually the free and easy ways of the primary school, for he senses the need for a more cautious approach in the secondary school where there are older pupils. Secondary staff and pupils suffer from the pressures of academic work and seem to have less time to stop and talk. Teachers with specialist roles may see hundreds of children in a week, and a pupil may be able to form relationships with very few of the staff. He has to decide which adults are approachable; good schools will make clear to every young person from the first year what guidance and personal help is available —but whether the reality of life in the institution actually encourages requests for help is another matter.Adults often forget what a confusing picture school can offer to a child. He sees a great deal ofmovement, a great number of people — often rather frightening-looking people — and realizes that an increasing number of choices and decisions have to be made. As he progresses through the school the confusion may become less but the choices and decisions required will increase. The school will rightly expect the pupil to take the first steps to obtain the help he needs, for this is the pattern of adult life for which he has to be prepared, but all the time the opportunities for personal and group advice must be presented in a way which makes them easy to understand and within easy reach of pupils.56. According to the passage one of the problems for pupils entering secondary schools is that________.A. they are taught by many different teachersB. they do not attend lessons in every subjectC. the teachers are not so friendly and helpfulD. the teachers give most attention to a few pupils57. In secondary schools every pupil having problems should ________.A. know how to ask for helpB. go to ask any teacher he can findC. discuss his problem in classD. turn to his parents for help58. It can be inferred from the passage that the author is mainly concerned about ________.A. academic standardsB. the role of specialist teachersC. the training of the individual teachersD. the personal development of pupils59. Which of the following statements is TRUE?A. All the secondary schools know the way to encourage students' requests for help.B. The secondary schools are responsible for offering personal and group advice to new pupils.C. Secondary school pupils enjoy greater freedom in communicating with teachers and fellowpupils.D. Secondary school pupils can easily get the help they need.60. The most appropriate title for the passage would be ________.A. Primary School and Secondary SchoolB. Problems for New Secondary School TeachersC. Problems for New Secondary School PupilsD.

(11)Part II. Reading Comprehension (30 points)Directions: There are 3 passages in this part. Each passage is followed by somequestions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices markedA) , B), C) and D). You should decide on the best choice and mark the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet with a single line through the centre.Passage 1Having raised eight children of my own, I know the dilemma parents face. In a world increasingly hostile to children, we want to show we care by acting on our loving impulses, which usually means spending. But when our kids came home asking for the latest designer wear, my wife and I knew we had to say “no”more often than not. Ofcourse, deciding tohave no TV in the house was the first real breakthrough; Idoubt we would have won this battle without freeing ourselves from its influence.As a child, I grew up in what I now see was poverty. For the first few years of my life, I ate only the smallest amount. Yet, I would find it hard to imagine a happier childhood. Why? Because my parents gave us children time and attention on a daily basis. For instance, no mater how busy they were, they tried to eat breakfast with us before we went off to school each morning.No child should have to live in poverty. ButI firmly believe that the happiness of a child does not depend on his or her access to material wealth. After all, it is the love we give our children, and not the things, that will remain with them for life.Havingworked thirty years as a family counselor, I know that parents really to love their children, and want to do what is best for them. But what does it mean to give a child love? Next time you feel that your have failed your kids, and are tempted to relieve those feeling by bringing home gifts, remember thatwe can 'tbuy our children 's affection. All they really want, and need, is time and attentiveness, a listening ear and an encouraging word. These are things every parent can provide.16. What the author most concerns about is ___ .A) how to make children pleasedB) how to give children the true loveC) how to educate his childrenD) how to meet the children 's needs17. According to the passage, which of the following is NOT true?A) The author lived in a poor family when he was very young.B) He never bought any gifts to his children.C) When he was a child, his parents cared him and other children much in their own way.D) Every parent has the ability to provide love for his or her children.18. In Paragraph One, when the author says, "B t when our kids …we had to say no'more often than not”, he means ____ .A) he could not afford to muchB) in order not to spoil his children, he must refuse themC) though he loved his children, he didn 'talways satisfy their material needsD) he wanted to fight against his children19. The sentence “I would find it hard to imagine a happier childhood m”eans _______ .A) his childhood was much happier than he could imagineB) he did not have a happy childhood because of povertyC) it's hard to imagine whether he had had a happy childhoodD) none of the above20. What does the author think is the best for his children?A) GiftsB) A listening ear and an encouraging word.C) Time and attentiveness.D) Both B and C Passage 2As the plane took off from Gatwick, Mr. And Mrs. Malloy settled back with a sigh of relief. They had thought they 'd never be able to get away on this holiday, their first holiday alone, without the family, since their honeymoon. They had had to arrange for Mrs. Malloy 'smother to look after Freddie and George, their children, while a neighbor had kindly agreed to look after Annabelle their cat, for the two weeks of their of their holiday. Then there ' d been the problem of arranging both to take their annual leave from work at the same time, all the bother of getting passports (it was their first holiday abroad) and finally the last minute rush to pack, get the children off to their grandmother and make sure the neighbor had precise instructions as to what Annabelle liked to eat. Sometimes they'd wondered whether it was all worth while. But there they were at last, on an aeroplane heading for the unknown pleasures of a holiday resort in Spain.Mrs. Malloy was still a bit worriedabout the thought of eating strange foreign food and had some real English tea and tins in her luggage, just in case. Mr. Malloy wondered whether the few Spanish phrases he'd learned in six weeks of evening classes would beenough to talk to the natives, and anxiously thumbed his bilingual ( 双语的) phrase book.21. Mr. And Mrs. Malloy were eager to get away on their holiday because ______ .A) the plane 's departure was long delayed.B) they had waited for long time and got impatient.C) this was the first holiday by themselves.D) they were sure that the holiday would be enjoyable.22.

The word “thumbed”in the last sentence means _____ .A)to look through quicklyB) to study systematicallyC)to take outD)to look upPassage 3After-sales service and guarantee become an integral and essential part of a “good brand”on both local and regional levels, and the provision of such also produces solid ground for customer loyalty.Customers today are a lot more demanding than before. Being able to find after-sales service creates a feeling of convenience and a sense of responsibility from the manufacturer. This is very important to build customer loyalty and explains why more 24-hour hotline centers are available nowadays.Product guarantee is also one of the major factors when a potential customer decides to make a purchase. Whether this be in the form of a written guarantee or a guarantee based on reputation, the importance to the consumer is self-evident. A brand 's research & development, an unavoidable investment, usually back up safety guarantees for marketers nowadays. Product testing and refinement are conducted for both new and existing products. With the help of computerized machinery, quality control has achieved the highest level than ever before to enable consistency inproduction. For the consumer this means a quality of guarantee for that brand whether it be available at home or abroad.26.

They have to be ready to spend many hours at home planning their lessons and preparing homework.They have to be well organized in class, patient with students, able to appear bright and interested even if they are in fact tired or unhappy, and lively enough to control a group of young people for almost 200 days a year. Outside the classroom, they may have to prepare teaching materials, to choose books to use as texts, to help organize the work of other teachers, or to organize spare time activities for students.If you think that you have all the necessary qualities, you may feel that you would like to be a teacher. One way to decide, if you live in the United States, is by joining a club for future teachers, such as Student Action for Education. Clubs like this give advice about your field, and also allow you to watch teachers at work, attend meetings and experiment with teaching methods and equipment. You could also talk with the job advisor at your school or university. Finally, you could try teaching a younger student or becoming an advisor at a summer camp for children. Any activity in which you are dealing with children will help you decide whether you have a calling for teaching.16. The first paragraph is mainly about ________.A) how to plan lessons and prepare homeworkB) how to help organize the work of other teachersC) various skills and abilities teachers needD) how to prepare teaching materials17.The second paragraph is mainly concerned with ________.A) the ways of deciding one's future employmentB) the ways to decide whether teaching should be one's future employmentC) joining a club for future teachersD) talking to an advisor when choosing future employment18.

In most cultures, animals are in a worse position than human beings. In some cases, however, people treat their pets like members of their families, or perhaps better. In the United States and Europe, there are special shops that sell clothing and food for cats and dogs.In many countries of the world, there is special food for pets. It is common for big markets in many places to sell cat food and dog food. However, in a small town in France, there is a special restaurant for dogs. Dogs are the only customers. There is seating for twenty of them. The dogs choose from a variety of dishes on the menu.Of course, in most parts of the world, pets don't live in such wealth and comfort. People treat their pets in a more practical way. People own cats and dogs because they keep away mice and other unwanted animals. Owners have some loving feelings for their pets, but they do not see them as equal to family members. In most places in the world, there isn't any special clothing or fine food for animals. There aren't any special restaurants for dogs.Pets around the world live in a great variety of ways, just as people do.21. According to the passage, in most countries _________.A) people treat their pets like members of their familiesB) there are special shops that sell clothing for dogs and catsC) animals are in a worse position than human beingsD) pets such as dogs and cats are very popular22.

The main idea of this reading passage is: _______.A) Dogs enjoy fine restaurantsB) A rich cat can afford to go to any restaurantC) People treat pets in very different ways in different parts of the worldD) It is stupid to have special food and clothing for animalsPassage 3What makes Americans spend nearly half their food dollars on meals away from home? The answers lie in the way Americans live today. During the first few decades of the twentieth century, canned and convenience foods freed the family cook from full-time duty at the kitchen range. Then, in the 1940s, work in the wartime plants took more women out of the home than ever before, setting the pattern of the working wife and mother.Today about half of the country’s married women are employed outside the home. But, unless family members pitch in with food preparation, women are not fully liberated from that chore. Instead many have become, in a sense, prisoners of the completely cooked convenience meal. It is easier to pick up a bucket of fried chicken on the way from work or t take family out for pizzas, or burgers than to start opening cans or heating up frozen dinners after a long, hard day.Also, the rising divorce rate means that there are more single working parents with children to feed. And many young adults and elderly people, as well as unmarried and divorced mature people, live alone rather than as part of a family unit and don’t want to bother cooking for one. Fast food is appealing because it is fast, it doesn’t require any dressing up, it offers a “fun”break.26. American women left home to work in large numbers because of_________.A) the improved living standardB) the increase in food priceC) the need of wartime industryD) the modernization of the kitchen27. The phrase “pitch in” in Paragraph 2 is closest in meaning to_________.A) “offer help and support”B) “eat with good appetite”C) “offer compliment”D) “disagree with”28. What is a working mother’s best choice if she does not have time to prepare dinner for thefamily according to the passage?A) Making a meal out of canned food.B) Buying some chicken on the way home and frying it.C) Taking the family to dinner at a pizza place.D) Heating up frozen dinners.29. Which of the following groups of Americans are most likely to cook their meal at home?A) Single working mothers.B) unmarried mature people.C) elderly people living alone.D) Unemployed women with family.30. What is this passage mainly about?A) Women’s liberation in America.B) Changes in the American family during Word War II.C) Reasons for the popularity of fast food in America.D) Rising divorce rate in America today.Part III.

The cigarette industry started in the 1870’s with the development of the cigarette manufacturing machines. It helped produce great numbers of cigarettes very quickly and reduced the price greatly. And consequently more and more people, both men and women, began to smoke cigarettes. Men as a group, however, smoke more than women. But the highest proportion of smokers is found in the age group of 24 - 44, regardless of sex difference.Income, education, and occupation all play a part in determining a p erson’s smoking habits. City people smoke more than people living on farms. Well-educated men with high incomes are less likely to smoke cigarettes than men with fewer years of schooling and lower incomes. 0n the other hand, if a well-educated man with a higher income smokes at all, he is likely to smoke more packs of cigarettes per day.The situation is somewhat different for women. There are slightly more smokers among women with higher family incomes and higher education than among the lower income and lower education groups. These more highly educated women tend to smoke more heavily.Among teenagers the picture is similar. There are fewer teenaged smokers from upper-income, well-educated families, and fewer from families living in farm areas- High school students who are preparing for college are less likely to smoke than those who do not plan to continue their education after high school. Children are most likely to start smoking if one or both their parents smokeCBDBC21. When did cigarettes smoking begin to become a widespread habit among menand women according to the author?A.

Isolated events, 33 dramatic ones, do not necessarily have a permanent 34 on a child's behavior. Children interpret such events according to their established attitudes and previous training. Children who know they are loved can, , accept the divorce of their parent's or a parents early .But if children feel unloved, they may interpret such events 37 a sign of rejection or punishment.In the same way, all children are not influenced 38 by toys and games, reading matter, and television programs. in the case of a dramatic change in family relations, the of an activity or experience depends on how the child interprets it.21.A.to B. with C.around D.for/doc/b411758333.html,rmedB.characteristicC.conceivedD.indicative23.A.gesture B.expression C.way D.extent24.A.behavior B.words C.mood D.reactions25.A.person B.humans C.creatures D.adult26.A.in turn B.nevertheless C.also D.as a result27.A.before B.besides C.with D.through28.A.eyes B.parents C.peers D.behaviors29.A.negative B.cheerful C.various /doc/b411758333.html,plex30.A.see B.seeing C.to see D.to seeing31.A.modify B.copy C.give up D.continue32.A.mature B.influenced C.unique D.independent33.A.not B.besides C.even D.finally34.A.idea B.wonder C.stamp D.effect35.A.luckily B.for example C.at most D.theoretically36.A.deathB.rewardsC.adviceD.teaching37.A.as B.being C.of D.for38.A.even B.at all C.alike D.as a whole39.A.Oh B.Alas C.Right D.As40.A.result B.effect C.scale D.causeIII.

A succession of scientificstudies of animals implies that physical activity has a positive effect on mental functioning.“It's clear that the brain benefits from exercise,”says scientist William Greenough of the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. His studies with rats have demonstrated two primary effects of activity: vigorous physical exercise provides the brain with more fuel, andskill-based exercise increases the formation of connections in the brain, which, according to the proposals of some scientists, may make the brain better able to process information.In one experiment, laboratory rats were separated into three groups.One group was exercised by running inside an automatic wheel, a second group improved their skills in a complicated obstacle course, and a third group was inactive.“The animals that learned to go through the obstacle courseexhibited a greater number of brain connections than the animals in the exercised or inactive groups,”Greenough said. “In contrast, the animals that exercised inside the automatic wheel possessed a greater density of blood vessels in the brain than did either of the other two groups of an imals.”Learning a new dance step may boost the brain in the same way thatlearning a language can, he says. And if the dance is a good physical exercise as well, the benefits multiply. Young brains may be especially able to boost brain power through exercise, suggested another of Greenough's experiments that showed the most significant changes in the brain occurred among rats that had been exercised when very young. And while animals aren'tpeople, he says it is logical to make the inference that an effect found in rats may also apply to humans.Human studies have focused primarily on older adults and suggestthat regular exercise can improve the speed with which the brain processes information. Measurements made by Arthur Kramer at the University of Illinois demonstrated that inactive adults, aged 63 to 82, could hit buttons faster in response to a tone after they went through a 10-week water exercise course. A corresponding control group that didn't exercise showed no improvement.41.__________ can benefit from physical exercise.A. Only the heart and lungsB. Only bones and musclesC. Only the brainD. All of the above42. What makes the brain better able to process information?A. Vigorous physical exercise.B. Skill-based exercise.。

Reading prehension(阅读理解：每题选择一个最佳选项)[A]This year some twenty-three hundred teen-agers(young people aged from 13-19)from all over the world will spend about ten months in U. S. homes. They will attend U. S. schools, meet U. S. teen-agers, and form impressions of the real America. At the same time, about thirteen hundred American teen-agers will go to other countries to learn new languages and gain a new understanding of the rest of the world.Here is a two-way student exchange(交换)in action. Fred, nineteen, spent last year in Germany with George's family. In turn, George’s son Mike spent a year in Fred's home in America.Fred, a lively young man, knew little German when he arrived, but after two months' study, the language began to e to him. School was pletely different from what he had expected-much harder. Students rose respectfully when the teacher entered the room. They took fourteen subjects instead of the six that are usual in the United States. There were almost no outside activities(活动).Family life, too, was different. The father's word was law, and all activities were around the family rather than the individual(个人). Fred found the food too simple at first. Also, he missed having a car."Back home, you pick up some friends in a car and go out and have a good time. In Germany, you walk, but you soon learn to like it."At the same time, in America, Mike, a friendly German boy, was also forming his idea. "I suppose I should criticize(批评)American schools", he says. "It is far too easy by our level. But I have to say that I like it very much. In Germany we do nothing but study. Here we take part in many outside activities. I think that maybe you schools are better in training for citizens(公民). There ought to be some middle ground between the two. "1. This year _____ teen-agers will take part in the exchange program between America and other countries.A. twenty three hundredB. thirteen hundredC. over three thousandD. less than two thousand2. The whole exchange program is mainly to _____ .A. help teen-agers in other countries know the real America.B. send students in America to travel in GermanyC. let students learn something about other countriesD. have teen-agers learn new languages3. Fred and Mike agreed that _____ .A. American food tasted better than German foodB. German schools were harder than American schoolsC. Americans and Germans were both friendlyD. There were more cars on the streets in America4. What is particular in American schools is that _____ .A. there is some middle ground between the two teaching buildingsB. there are a lot of after-school activitiesC. students usually take fourteen subjects in allD. students go outside to enjoy themselves in a car5. After experiencing the American school life, Mike thought _____ .A. a better education should include something good from both America and GermanyB. German schools trained students to be better citizensC. American schools were not as good as German schoolsD. the easy life in the American school was more helpful to students[B]In order to learn a foreign language well, it is necessary to overe the fear of making mistakes. If the primary goal of language use is munication, the mistakes are secondary considerations that may be dealt with gradually as awareness of those mistakes increases. On the other hand, students should not ignore their mistakes. The language learner may observe how native speakers express themselves, and how nativeexpressions differ from the way the learner might say them. For example, a Spanish speaker who has been saying " I do it" to express willingness to do something in the immediate future, but, by interacting with native speakers of English, you may observe that native speakers actually say "I'll do it." The resulting discrepancy(差异) can serve as a basis for the student to modify his way of using the present tense in English. But a student who is unwilling to interact in the first place would lose this opportunity to learn by trial and error.6. According to the passage, foreign language students should not worry too much about making mistakes because ___________.A. native speakers will ignore their mistakesB. munication is the primary goal of language learningC. everyone makes mistakes when trying to municate in a strange languageD. native speakers like foreign students who try to learn their language7. According to the passage, the present tense in English is ___________.A. not used to express a desire to do something in the immediate futureB. used with some verbs but not with others to express future intentionC. basically the same in English as it is in SpanishD. not the most difficult problem for foreign students8. The author thinks that language learners can reduce the number of their mistakes by ___________.A. asking native speakers for explanationsB. reading good books in the foreign languageC. paring their speech with that of native speakersD. speaking without regard to native speakers9. The passage implies that foreign students who do not interact with native speakers will not ___________.A. learn very much about the foreign cultureB. learn about the history of the foreign languageC. have to worry about making mistakesD. take advantage of available language models10. The author's major conclusion about the function of mistakes in foreign language learning is that___________.A. mistake are not important in the process of learning a languageB. learners are often very afraid of making mistakesC. making mistakes can help the learner discover the rules of the languageD. mistakes do not interfere with munication[C]After a busy day of work and play, the body needs to rest. Sleep is necessary for good health. During this time, the body recovers from the activities of the previous day. The rest that you get while sleeping enables your body to prepare itself for the next day.There are four levels of sleep, each being a little deeper than the one before. As you sleep, your muscles relax little by little. Your heart beats more slowly, and your brain slows down. After you reach the fourth level, your body shifts back and forth（来回地）from one level of sleep to the other.Although your mind slows down, from time to time you will dream. Scientists who study sleep state that when dreaming occurs, your eyeballs begin to move more quickly (although your eyelids are closed). This stage of sleep is called REM, which stands for rapid eye movement.If you have trouble falling asleep, some people remend breathing very slowly and very deeply. Other people believe that drinking warm milk will help make you drowsy（昏昏欲睡的）. There is also an old suggestion that counting sheep will put you to sleep!11. A good title for this passage is ____________.A. SleepB. Good HealthC. DreamsD. Work and Rest12. The word "drowsy" in the last paragraph means ____________.A. sickB. stand upC. a little sleepyD. asleep13. The passage suggests that not getting enough sleep might make you ____________.A. dream more oftenB. have poor healthC. nervousD. breathe quickly14. During REM, ____________.A. your eyes move quicklyB. you dreamC. you are restlessD. both A and B15. The average number of hours of sleep that an adult needs is ____________.A. approximately six hoursB. around ten hoursC. about eight hoursD. not stated here[D]How much living space does a person need? What happens when his space requirements are not adequately met? Sociologists and psychologists are conducting experiments on rats to try to determine the effects of overcrowded conditions on man. Recent studies have shown that the behavior of rats is greatly affected by space. If rats have adequate living space, they eat well, sleep well, and reproduce well. However, if their living conditions bee too crowded, their behavior patterns and even their health perceptibly(可感知地) change. They cannot sleep and eat well, and signs of fear and tension bee obvious. The more crowed they are, the more they tend to bite each other and even kill each other. Thus for rats, population and violence are directly related. Is this a natural law for human society as well? Is adequate space not only desirable, but essential for human survival?16. This passage is mainly about _________.A. living space and behaviorB. population and living conditionsC. interesting experiments on ratsD. a natural law for human society17. What is the purpose of the experiments described in the passage?A. To determine how much living space a rat needs.B. To see what happens when rats live in a limited space.C. To know the likely effects of inadequate living space on human beings.D. to find out the relationship between population and living conditions.18. Which is NOT a result of being too crowded for rats?A. They bee nervous.B. they cannot get enough rest.C. They bee less active.D. They eat less.19. The passage suggests that overcrowded conditions _________.A. are directly related with populationB. may cause an increase in violenceC. may lead to high birth rateD. may bring about pollution problems20. The author seems to imply that _________.A. human society is very similar to that of ratsB. birth control is essential fro a better lifeC. efforts should be made to improve living conditionsD. rats are not social animals[E]The United States is full of automobiles. There are still many families without cars, but some families have two or ever more. However, cars are used for more than pleasure. There are a necessary part of life.Cars are used for business. They are driven to offices and factories by workers who have no other way to get to their jobs. When salesmen are sent to different parts of the city, they have to drive in order to carry their products. Farmers have to drive into the city in order to get supplies.Sometimes small children must be driven to school. In some cities school buses are provided only when children live more than a mile from the school. When the children are too young to walk that far, their mothers take turn driving them to school. One mother drives on Monday, taking her own children and the neighbors' children as well. Another mother drives on Tuesday, another on Wednesday, and so on. This is called forming a car poll. Men also form car pools, with three or four men taking turns driving to the place where they all work.More car pools should be formed in order to put fewer automobiles on the road and to use less gasoline. Parking is great problem, and so is the traffic in and around cities. Too many cars are being driven. Something will have to be done about the use of cars.21. Which is NOT true according to the passage?A. Each American family has got at least one car.B. Some American families have got more than one car.C. Cars are very mon in the United States.D. Americans do not use cars for pleasure only.22. According to the passage, children must be taken to school by car when ________.A. their homes are over one mile away from their schoolB. there are no school buses available and the school is too far away for thechildren to go to on footC. there are a number of children in the neighborhood and their families have theirown carsD. the children are too young to walk23. Which people are forming a car pool?A.Children who drive to school in turns.B. A woman who takes her own children and her neighbors' children to school by car.C. Three or four people who drive in turns to the office or the factory where they all work.D. Parents who drive their oven children to school in turns.24. What does the author think of forming car pool?A. It is a good practice.B. It is good only for mothers taking children to schoolC. It will cause parking problems.D. It helps cut down the number of cars produced each year.25. What does the author think is the problem about cars in the United States?A. There is a shortage of gasoline for a car.B. There are too many cars in the streets and on the roads.C. There are not enough cars to go around.D. Some families still do not have their own cars.[F]A four-year study conducted by the Infant(婴儿) Testing Center in San Francisco, California, suggests that babies feel more fortable around other babies than with strange adults. According to the study, babies benefit by being with their fellow infants daily. Whereas a baby might show fear of an adult stranger, he is likely to smile and reach out for an unfamiliar infant. By the time babies are one year old, they have begun to form friendships of a sort.The above findings, based on observation of 100 babies aged three months to three years, might prove interesting to working parents who must find day care for their babies. Family care in a private home, with several babies together, is probably the idea way to care for babies under three. Dr. Benjamin Spock, well-known pediatrician(儿科医生) and author of books about babies, supports the idea. He says that family day care is better in theory than hiring a housekeeper or a babysitter.11. What would be a good title for the passage?A. How to Test InfantsB. Parents and ChildrenC. Choosing a BabysitterD. Day Care for Babies12. A baby is likely to feel more at ease with _________.A. a housekeeperB. an infantC. an adult strangerD. teenage children13. What does Dr. Benjamin Spock do?A. He remends babysitters.B. He writes baby books.C. He conducts studies on infants.D. He directs a testing center.14. According to the passage, how should working parents provide care for their babies?A. Find a private home with other babies.B. Take their babies with them to work.C. Hire an adult to e into the home.D. Search for a large nursery with a good reputation.15. The author is talking to _________.A. working parentsB. researchers on infantsC. pediatriciansD. babies under three[G]It is a matter of mon observation that although ines keep going up over the years, people never seem to bee much better off! Prices are rising continuously. This condition is termed one of inflation; the money supply is being inflated so that each unit of it bees less valuable. People have grown accustomed in recent years to higher and higher rates of inflation. What could be bought ten years ago for one dollar now costs well over two dollars. Present indications are that this rate of inflation is tending to rise rather than to fall. If in the real world our money ines go up at the same rate as prices one might think that inflation does not matter. But it does. When money is losing value it lacks one of the qualities of a good money - stability of value. It is no longer acceptable as a store of value; and it bees an unsuitable standard of deferred(延迟)payments. Nobody wants to hold a wasting asset(资产), so people try to get rid of money as quickly as possible. Inflation therefore stimulates consumer spending, and prevents people from saving.21. Inflation is a situation in which __________.A. we find our money increase in its valueB. employment no longer bees a problemC. people can always find better paying jobsD. money keeps losing its value22. According to the author, inflation __________.A. seldom happensB. is very mon at the present timeC. has bee rare in recent yearsD. is just reasonable23. According to the passage, if ines and prices rise together __________.A. money will hold its valueB. inflation poses no problemC. inflation will remain to be a problemD. the business will prosper24. When money loses its value __________.A. its rate against gold will be kept at the same levelB. it is no longer stableC. goods will lose their valueD. ines will keep rising25. In a period of inflation, people are likely to __________.A. invest heavily on the stock marketB. save moneyC. hold on to money as a dependable assetD. spend money and not bother(烦恼) to save[H]Sports and games make our bodies strong, prevent us from getting too fat, and keep us healthy. But these are not their only use. They give us valuable practice in making eyes, brain and muscles work together. In tennis, our eyes see the ball ing, judge its speed and direction and pass this information on to the brain. The brain then has to decide what to do, and to send its orders to the muscles of the arms, legs, and so on, so that the ball is met and hit back where it ought to go. All this must happen with very great speed, and only those who have had a lot of practice at tennis can carry out this plicated chain of events successfully. For those who work with their brains most of the day, the practice of such skills is especially useful.Sports and games are also very useful for character training. In their lessons at school, boys and girls may learn about such virtues as unselfishness, courage, discipline and love of one's country; but what is learned in books cannot have the same deep effect on a child's character as what is learned by experience. The ordinary day-school cannot give much practical training in living, because most of the pupil's time is spent in classes, studying lessons. So it is what the pupils do in their spare time that really prepares them to take their place in society as citizens when they grow up. If each of them learns to work for his society as citizens when they grow up. If each of them learns to work for his team and not for himself on the football field, he will later find it natural to work for the good of his country instead of only for his own benefit.26. When we play tennis we have to _________.A. use, first, our eyes, then the brain and finally the musclesB. make our eyes, brain and muscles work almost at the same timeC. use mainly the arms and legs to hitD. use mainly the muscles so that the ball is met and hit back27. The "plicated chain of events" refers to _________.A. the passing of information and making of decisionsB. the meeting and hitting back of the ballC. the coordinated(协调的) movements of our eyes, brain and musclesD. a lot of practice before playing tennis28. By character-training, the author means that sports and games can help children _________.A. live a better life when they grow upB. know letter how to behave properly in their future lifeC. understand better the virtues they learn in booksD. All of the above29. According to the author, a child's character can be most deeply influenced by _________.A. what he does out of classB. what he learns in booksC. his place in societyD. his lessons at school30. What is of the greatest importance to a football team isA. its membersB. its team workC. the football fieldD. the climate[I]My formula for staying young is simple: concentrate on the part of you that's young and growing - your brain. Keep your mind awake and you'll stay young all over. These are exciting times. Take an interest in the world around you, and make a point of learning at least one new thing every day.Regardless of your age, it's not too late to make your life more interesting. I know a housewife with no previous knowledge who made herself into an outstanding industrial designer; I know a retired electrical engineer who has bee a highly paid ceramic artist.Get over the notion that you are ever too old to go back to school. I know a man who entered medical college at 70. He got his degree with honors and became an eminent physician. Another man went to law school at 71 and his now an active lawyer.In spite of years, staying young is easy for those who live in the future. You can do it if you care enough to try. Keep your mind awake and active; that's the only youth elixir(万灵药) guaranteed to work.31. The statement that our brain remains young and growing regardless of age is __________.A. an impossibilityB. a scientific factC. a suppositionD. a ridiculous conclusion32. It is wrong to __________.A. think oneself too old to go back to schoolB. keep one's mind awakeC. try to stay youngD. get one's degree with honor33. The passage states that a man who entered college at 70 became __________.A. an active lawyerB. an electric engineerC. a distinguished doctorD. a highly paid ceramic artist34. The only youth elixir is to __________.A. go back to schoolB. forget one's own ageC. keep in touch with young peopleD. keep one's mind awake and active35. All of the following statement are true EXCEPT that __________.A. human brain never gets old with ageB. every person should take up a new occupation when he bees oldC. staying young is not difficult if one is willing to tryD. there is always something to learn if you have an interest in what's going on around youIV. Translation(翻译：把下列英文翻译成汉语)[A]When I was growing up, I was embarrassed to be seen with my father. He was severely crippled and very short, and when we walked together, his hand on my arm for balance, people would stare. I would inwardly struggle at the unwanted attention. If he ever noticed or was bothered, he never let on. It was difficult to coordinate our steps---his halting, mine impatient---and because of that, we didn’t say much as we went along. But as we started out, he always said, “You set the pace, I will try to adjust to you.”[B]Alone now, the widow reads considerably. She used to underline favorite passages to share with her husband. Now, in a notebook, she stores quotations like this one from Elizabeth Jolley’s Cabin Fever: “I experience again the deep-felt wish to be part of a married couple, to sit by the fire in winter withthe man who is my husband. So intense is this wish that if I write the word husband on a piece of paper, my eyes fill with tears.”。

Reading Comprehension (21 points)Directions: Read the following passages carefully and do the multiple-choice questions.Text 1For years, it's been assumed that the inside environment (环境) limits the variety of plants that people are subjected to. Lately, however, plants that are usually only grown outdoors have found their way into inside spaces. There are a few simple reasons why this is.The modern inside environment can be a good place for a wide variety of outdoor plants. Plants that ordinarily cannot grow in colder outdoor weather can be protected by the inside spaces, where temperatures are easily controlled. Plants that used to be found only outside, such as trees, have become more and more popular as decorations inside houses. Orchids (兰花), which were once only found in hot places, have begun to grow well in inside places. A large number of smaller plants have also found their way into homes.One reason that the modern home has made exotic (引进的) outdoor plants more practical is the modern use of windows. In the past windows were used less often in buildings than they are today. It is partly because of the ability of large windows to admit a large quantity of light from the sun and to keep the heat in at the same time, that many outdoor plants have been able to make their move inside.It is true that most of the plants that have been successful in moving inside have been small.Some of the best suited varieties are the vines (藤本植物). Many vines that grow in natural locations make excellent decorations where other plants prove difficult to grow. Although some trees can be grown inside, it is not likely the larger varieties can be used. Unfortunately, most homes just don't have the space to grow a monkey tree.16. The passage is mainly concerned with ________.A) the ability of large windowsB) the difficulty of moving monkey trees into homesC) growing plants inside housesD) the best suited trees17. It is implied or suggested in the passage that ________.A) the inside environment can protect plants betterB) people like to use plants as decorations in their housesC) people move plants into their houses to save themD) the uses of windows in the past were not practical18. People used to believe that ________.A) the plants that could grow inside were limitedB) the plants that could grow inside were from hot placesC) the temperature in the inside environment could be controlledD) the larger plants grew better inside.19. One function of modern windows is ________.A) to allow fresh air in B) to grow plants and trees insideC) to provide heat and light D) to control the temperature20. It is not likely that large plants will move inside because ________.A) the weather is not suitable B) they cannot be movedC) they cannot be controlled D) there is not enough spaceText 2The AIDS virus is carried in a person's body fluids (体液). The virus can be passed during sex with an infected partner or by sharing instruments used to take intravenous (静脉注射的)drugs. It also can be passed in blood or fluids made from blood or from a pregnant (怀孕的) woman with AIDS to her developing baby.Many stories about the spread of AIDS are false. You cannot get AIDS by working or attending school with someone who has the disease. You cannot get it by drinking glasses or other objects used by such persons. Officials say no one has caught AIDS by living with, caring for or touching an AIDS patient.There are several warning signs of being infected with AIDS. They include always feeling tired, unexplained (无法解释的) weight loss and uncontrolled expulsion (排泄) of body wastes. Other warning signs are the appearance of white areas on the mouth, dark red areas of skin that do not go away and a higher than normal body temperature.However, just because you have one or more of these conditions does not mean you have AIDS. Always go to a doctor or health center for a complete examination. The doctor may give you an AIDS blood test.When a virus enters the body, the body's defenses against disease produce antibodies (抗体) to fight the virus. The test shows if the body has produced antibodies to the AIDS virus. Results of the test are known after a few hours. The test tells only if your body has produced AIDS antibodies. It cannot tell if you have AIDS or if you will ever get the disease. In December (1988), the United States government approved (批准) a simpler and faster AIDS blood test. The newer test can confirm (证实) the presence (出现) of the AIDS antibodies in about five minutes.21. The AIDS virus can spread ___________.A) only from a man to womanB) among those who use drug instrumentsC) by shaking hands with someone who has the virusD) by touching an AIDS patient22. It is wrongly thought that ___________.A) the AIDS virus can be passed during sexB) the AIDS virus can spread from an expecting mother to her babyC) the AIDS virus can be passed by touching infected bloodD) one can get AIDS by working or attending school with someone who has the disease23. The warning signs of being infected with AIDS include ____________.A) weight lossB) too much expulsion of body wastesC) the appearance of red areas of skinD) a body temperature higher than a normal one24. _________ can show if one has AIDS.A) Whether one has a defense method against AIDSB) Whether one has unexplained weight lossC) Whether the AIDS antibodies are produced in the bodyD) The doctor's complete examination25. An AIDS blood test shows _________.A) whether the defense method is damaged or notB) whether one has AIDSC) one has a higher than normal body temperatureD) whether antibodies are produced in the bodyText 3In the United States a university professor is given a few months of freedom from his duties about every seventh year for travel or advanced study. This period of freedom from teaching is called a "study or research leave". Its purpose is to give the professor experiences which will make him a wiser person and a better teacher when he returns to his university.Few study leaves are interesting enough to be described in national newspapers and magazines. Recently, however, there was an exception. The public learned how Dr. John R. Coleman, president of Haverford College, had spent his study leave.At the age of 51, Dr. Coleman was determined to escape from university life for a few months and to get a variety of experiences in the world of work. He especially wanted to learn about people. People who do hard physical labor were especially interesting to him."I wanted to get away from the world of words and political matters and parties —the things a president does," Dr. Coleman later explained to news writers. “As a college president you begin to take yourself very seriously and to think you have power you don't. You forgetthings about people. I wanted to relearn things I'd forgotten.”Telling no one of his plans, Dr. Coleman started his study leave on a farm in Canada, hundreds of miles from his college. Getting up at 4:30 each morning, working thirteen hours a day in fields, he prepared himself physically for his next job, digging ditches in Atlanta, Georgia. After that, the college president washed dishes in a Boston restaurant. During the last ten days of his leave, he worked as a garbage collector.26. The first paragraph is mainly about ________.A) why a professor should be free from his duties every seventh yearB) how professors spend their study leaveC) what a study leave is and its purposeD) how a study leave makes a professor a wiser person and a better teacher27. A study leave is a period of freedom from duties allowed to a university teacher who hastaught ________ since his last leave.A) for six years B) for seven yearsC) for a term D) for a university year28.

It was in China ______ Dr. Bethune gave his life to the cause of the revolution.A. thatB. whereC. in whichD. at whichDirections: Read the following passages carefully and do the multiple-choice questions.Questions 41 to 45are based on the following passage.A boy between the ages of 6 and 14 still admires his mother and has plenty to learn from her.But his interests are changing – he is becoming more interested in what men have to offer. A boy knows he is turning into a man. He has to learn from a man to complete his development.The father's job is to step in over time. If there is no father around, then the child depends more on finding other men –at school, for example. Yet men are leaving teaching, especially in primary schools. This is a problem.They insisted, too, that they needed lots of extra support. Throughout primary school years and into high school, boys should spend a lot of time with their fathers and mothers, getting their help, learning how to do things and enjoying their company.With regard to feelings, at this stage the father is more important. The boy is ready to learn from his father and listens to what he has to say. Often he will take more notice of his father. It's enough to drive a mother wild!Now is a good time for a father to do “little” things: playing in the yard on summer evenings, going for walks, telling stories about life, telling him about his own youth, working on hobbies or sports together for the enjoyment of doing it. This is the time when good memories are laid down that will be healthy to your son, and you, for years to come.Although every boy is different, it's common for boys at this age to get a little argumentative（好争论的）, restless and moody（闹情绪）. It's not that they are turning bad – just that they are being born into a new self and birth always means struggle.I believe this is the age when we fail teenagers the most. In our society all weoffer those in the middle teens is "more of the same": more school. So it's little wonder that problems arise.41. According to the passage a boy needs the help of ______ to develop well.A.his mother onlyB. his father onlyC. neither his mother nor his fatherD. both his mother and father42. One problem for a boy's development is that ______.A. there are fewer men teaching in primary schoolsB. here are fewer women teaching in primary schoolsC. the boy's interests are changingD. the boy wants to act as a man43. The good time for a father to have an influence on his son is _______.A. when the boy is 14B. when the boy is at primary schoolC. from about age 6 to the 14th birthdayD. since the boy was born44. By the middle teens boys argue often with their parents. This means ___.A. they are turning badB. they are turning goodC. they are being born into a new selfD. they are rebelling against their parents45. The main idea of this passage is that ____________.A. fathers play an equal role in raising boysB. mothers should feel comfortable when their sons' interests are changingC. without fathers mothers can raise good menD. fathers should stay with their sons as much as possibleQuestions 46 to 50 are based on the following passage.Yukio is a twenty-four year old Japanese businessman. A few months ago, his company sent him to work at its New York City office for half a year. This was his first experience living in the United States.Yukio thought New York City was very exciting, but he also found it very strange. It was difficult for him to get used to it. He found it strange to be with people from so many different races. He sometimes found American people very direct, open and honest though at the same he felt curious about them. He wished he could become friends with some Americans, but he wasn't sure how to get along with them. Most of the time, he felt very lonely and missed Japan.But soon some sunshine came into his life. A new clerk came to work in his office part-time. She was American, as were most of the clerks in his office. Her name was Cindy. She was very clever, friendly and good-looking. Cindy was also astudent studying business. Cindy and Yukio got along very well. They talked together whenever possible. Cindy told Yukio her dreams of having a successful business. She said she was not really interested in getting married or having children. She wanted to use all of her energy for business. Yukio found Cindy very interesting and very different from the women he knew before. In a similar way, Cindy found Yukio unique among all the men that she knew. Soon the two fell in love and they were both very happy.But now it is almost time for Yukio to return to Japan. Y ukio wants Cindy to return to Japan with him and marry him. But Cindy doesn’t speak any Japanese. She fears that Yukio wants her to become an ordinary wife and have children right away. Cindy wants Yukio to stay in New York City.They feel very bad, not knowing what they should do. Should they stay in New York? Should they go to Japan? Sometimes they think they should separate, but they also feel they cannot live without each other.46. A few months ago, Y ukio _________.A. was sent to New York City by his companyB. went to New York City for a meetingC. was told to open a new office for his company in New York CityD. met his former girlfriend Cindy in New York City47.

Yukio thought people in New York were the same as people in Japan.B. Cindy was Yukio's first American girlfriendC. Cindy had many other Japanese boyfriends before YukioD.

A businessman and his clerk often fall in love with each otherQuestions 51 to 55 are based on the following passage.Once upon a time there was a wise man that used to go to the ocean to do his writing. He had a habit of writing on the beach before he began his work.One day he was walking along the shore. As he looked down the beach, he saw a human figure moving like a dancer. He smiled to himself at the thought of someone who would dance on the beach. So he began to walk faster to catch up.As he got closer, he saw that it was a young man and the young man wasn't dancing, but instead he was reaching down to the shore, picking up something and very gently throwing it into the ocean.As he got closer he called out, “Good morning! What are you doing?”The young man paused, looking up and replied, “Throwing starfish (海星) in the ocean.”“I guess I should have asked, why are you throwing starfish into the ocean?”“The sun is up and the tide is going out. And if I don't throw them in they'll die.”“But, young man, don't you realize that there are miles and miles of beach and starfish all along it. You can't possibly make a difference!”The young man listened politely. Then he bent down, picked another starfish and threw it into the ocean, past the breaking waves and s aid, “It made a difference for that one.”There is something very special in each and every one of us. All of us have a natural ability to make a difference. If we can become aware of that ability, we will get through the strength of our images the power to shape the future.All of us must find our starfish. If we throw our starfish wisely and well, the world will be wonderful51. Before he began writing, the wise man would ________.A. take a walk along the shoreB. go swimming in the oceanC. have a walk and pick up starfish on the beachD. look down the beach and enjoy the scene52. One day, the wise man saw the young man ________.A. dancing along the beachB. walking along the beachC. picking up starfish for saleD. trying to save as many starfish as possible53.

Which of the following statements is true according to the passage?A. The wise man and the young man shared the same opinion on the subject ofstarfish.B. The young man disagreed with the wise man on the subject of starfish.C. The wise man thought it impossible to save any of the starfish on the beach.D. The young man was unaware of his ability to make a difference for starfish55. The writer told this story in order to tell us that ________.A. everyone of us is cleverB. all of us can help to shape our futureC. wise men are sometimes stupidD. young people are actually wiser than old peopleQuestions 56 to 60 are based on the following passage.In the United States, about 750,000 persons have suffered AIDS. More than one half of them have died.But doctors say evidence (证据) also shows there is no reason for persons to become terrified (惊吓) by the disease. The AIDS virus is spread during sex with an infected partner, or by infected blood. But doctors say their studies show the disease is not spread through normal, close social activities.A study by one research team was printed in the New England Journal (杂志) of Medicine. The doctors studied one-hundred-one family members who lived with AIDS and lived in crowded conditions. The family members shared many personal goods with the patients. These included toothbrushes, drinking glasses, beds, towels and toilets.Doctors said only one family member -- a –five-year-old girl – got the AIDS virus. They note, however, that the girl’s mother had the disease. They b elieve the girl probably was born with the virus. No other family member in the study got the AIDS virus or showed any signs of the disease.The head of the study, Gerald Friedland, said if the disease is not easily spread in crowded homes, it also will not spread easily in factories, offices, schools and other public places. Doctor Friedland said the study also shows there is no reason to punish AIDS patients and to force them to live separately from other persons.American health officials recently warned, however, that some health care workers should take special care. The report noted the AIDS virus is carried in blood and other body fluids. It said health care workers should put protective (保护性的) covers over their eyes and skin during medical operations, dental (牙科的) work, or other times when the patient may bleed.In the United States, most AIDS patients are homosexual (同性恋的)men, people taking drugs who used infected needles (针头), and persons who received infected blood.

They do so mainly through identification. Children identify a parent when they believe they have the qualities and feelings that are of that parent. The things parents do and say—and then they do and say to them—therefore strongly influence achild’s 24 .However, parents must consistently behave like the type of 25 they want their child to become.A parent’s actions 26 affect the self image that a child forms 27 identification. Children who see mainly positive qualities in their will likely learn to see themselves in a positive way. Children who observe chiefly qualities in their parents will have difficulty positive qualities in themselves. Children may 31 their self image, however, as they become increasingly 32 by peers groups standards before they reach 13 .Isolated events, 33 dramatic ones, do not necessarily have a permanent 34 on a child’s behavior.Children interpret such events according to their established attitudes and previous training.

Reading ComprehensionDirections: After reading the following passages, you will find 5 questions or unfinished statement. For each question or statement there are 4 choices marked A, B, C or D. You should make the correct choice.Passage OneJust as exercise strengthens the heart and lungs, bones and muscles, it may also power up the brain. A succession of scientific studies of animals implies that physical activity has a positive effect on mental functioning.“It’s clear that the brain benefits from exercise,” says scientist William Greenough of the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. His studies with rats have demonstrated two primary effects of activity: vigorous physical exercise provides the brain with more fuel, and skill-based exercise increases the formation of connections in the brain, which, according to the proposals of some scientists, may make the brain better able to process information.In one experiment, laboratory rats were separated into three groups. One group was exercised by running inside an automatic wheel, a second group improved their skills in a complicated obstacle course, and a third group was inactive.“The animals that learned to go through the obstacle course exhibited a greater number of brain connections than the animals in the exercised or inactive groups,” Greenough said. “In contrast, the animals that exercised inside the automatic wheel possessed a greater density of blood vessels in the brain than did either of the other two groups of animals.”Learning a new dance step may boost the brain in the same way that learning a language can, he says. And if the dance is a good physical exercise as well, the benefits multiply. Young brains may be especially able to boostbrain power through exercise, suggested another of Greenough’s experiments that showed the most significant changes in the brain occurred among rats that had been exercised when very young. And while animals aren’t people, he says it is logical to make the inference that an effect found in rats may also apply to humans.Human studies have focused primarily on older adults and suggest that regular exercise can improve the speed with which the brain processes information. Measurements made by Arthur Kramer at the University of Illinois demonstrated that inactive adults, aged 63 to 82, could hit buttons faster in response to a tone after they went through a 10-week water exercise course. A corresponding control group that didn’t exercise showed no improvement.41.__________ can benefit from physical exercise.A. Only the heart and lungsB. Only bones and musclesC. Only the brainD. All of the above42. What makes the brain better able to process information?A. Vigorous physical exercise.B. Skill-based exercise.C. Both of them.D. Neither of them.43. While _________ of rats showed a greater number of brain connections, ________ had a greater density of blood vessels in the brain.A. the first group/the third groupB. the second group/the third groupC. the first group/the second groupD. the second group/the first group44. One possible reason for scientists to make experiments with rats or other animals is that _____.A. rats benefits from the experimentsB. the experiments can boost the brains of the ratsC. an effect found in rats may also apply to humansD. rats and humans are very much alike45. Which word in Paragraph 6 tells us that older adults were divided into two groups in the humans studies?A. Corresponding.B. Inactive.C. Older.D. Faster./Passage TwoMary Engelbreit was a talented but struggling artist in her mid-twenties when she flew to New York from her native Saint Louis, hoping to find work illustrating children’s books----her life’ goal. So she was disappointed when all the book publishers she visited turned her down. One even suggested her drawings might be better suited to greeting cards.“I was crushed,” she admits. Gre eting cards seemed a comedown from her high expectations, but the advice stayed with her, and she decided to give it a try. The results transformed her life forever.Today Mary Engelbreit sells an astonishing 14 million greeting cards a year. Her popular designs appear on more than 2,000 products, including books, calendars, and kitchen items. She runs a retail company and the annual sales are in the $100 million range----all as a result of that fateful, disappointing trip to New York.Once you know Engelbr eit’s distinctive style, you can recognize her cards from 200 paced away----bright, funny, and with an eye to the past. Engelbreit is cheerful, down-to-earth, humorous, and always cute. “ I think the world could use more cuteness,” she explains. Indeed, it’s her trademark.With her work taking off in so many directions, it was perhaps inevitable that Engelbreit would eventually realize her dream of illustrating a children’s book. In 1993 she created drawings for a children’ book and saw it become a best-seller. At the same time she made a surprising discovery: “It was fun, but oddly enough, I like doing greeting cards best.”46. When she flew to New York, Mary Engelbreit expected ______.A. she would be better suited to drawing greeting cardsB. she would be turned down by the book publishersC. she would give a try at drawing greeting cardD. she would illustrate children’s book47. As a result of that fateful, disappointing trip to New York, Engelbreit______.A. gave up on drawing illustrationsB. dre w illustrations for a children’s bookC. became a successful illustrator for greeting cardsD. made a drawing of a young girl in overalls.48. You can tell Engelbreit’s cards from 20 paces away by their style of being____.A. plain and funnyB. bright and funnyC. plain and boldD. serious49. Which of the following characteristics is most important to Mary Engelbreit？A. CuteB. down-to-earthC. cheerfulD. humorous50. According to the writer, Mary Engelbreit finally realized her dream of illustrating children’sbook because____.A. she learned how to illustrate children’s booksB. she kept her feet firmly on the groundC. she overcame many difficultiesD. she succeeded in many different waysPassage ThreeAmy High is decked out in the traditional pink dress and golden stole of ancient Rome. She bursts into a third-grade classroom and greets her students: "Salvete, omnes!" (Hello, everyone!) The kids respond in kind, and soon they are studying derivatives. "How many people are in a duet?" High asks. All the kids know the answer, and when she asks how they know, a boy responds, "Because duo is 'two' in Latin." High replies, "Plaudite!" and the 14 kids erupt in applause. They learn the Latin root later, or side, and construct such English words as bilateral and quadrilateral. "Latin's going to open up so many doors for you," High says. "You're going to be able to figure out the meaning of words you've never seen before."High teaches at Providence Elementary School in Fairfax City, Va., which has a lot riding on the success of her efforts. As part of Virginia's high-stakes testing program, schools that don't boost their scores by the year 2007 could lose state funding. So Fairfax City, just 18 miles southwest of the White House, has upgraded its two crumbling elementary schools with new high-tech television studios, computer labs and one very old feature--mandatory Latin.Here lies one of the more counterintuitive developments of the standardized-testing movement: Though some critics complain that teachers are forced to dumb down their lessons and "teach to the test," some schools are offering more challenging course work as a way of engaging students. Inthe past three years, scores of elementary schools in high-stakes testing states such asTexas, Virginia and Massachusetts have added Latin programs. Says Allen Griffith, a member of the Fairfax City school board: "If we’re trying to improve English skills, teaching Latin is an awfully effective, proved method."This is not your father's Latin, which was taught to elite college-bound high schoolers and drilled into them through memorization. Its tedium and perceived irrelevance almost drove Latin from public schools. Today's growth in elementary school Latin has been spurred by new, interactive oral curriculums, enlivened by lessons in Roman mythology and culture. "One thing that makes it engaging for kids is the goofy fun of investigating these guys in togas," says Marion Polsky, author of First Latin: A Language Discovery Program, the textbook used in Fairfax City.Latin enthusiasts believe that if young students learn word roots, they will be able to decipher unfamiliar words. (By some estimates, 65% of all English words have Latin roots.) Latin is an almost purely phonetic language. There are no silent letters, and each letter represents a single sound. That makes it useful in teaching reading. And once kids master the grammatical structure of Latin--which is simple, logical and consistent--they will more easily grasp the many grammatical exceptions in English.51. From the first Paragraph we learn that _____.A. the students show little interest in learning LatinB. the students say hello to their teacher in LatinC. Amy High teaches the students to read Bible in LatinD. learning English is unnecessary if you have perfectly mastered Latin 52. Which of the following statements is not true according to the text?A. The testing program is crucial to the schools.B. Latin is compulsory to the elementary schools students in Fairfax City.C. Providence Elementary School will not get state funding this year.D. Fairfax City government had done a lot to equip its elementary schools.53. According to Allen Griffith, Latin _______.A. has little to do with EnglishB. is very helpful to one’s learning EnglishC. wi ll replace English in the near futureD. should be taught to kids even when they are in elementary school54. Which of the following best defines the word “plaudite”?A. Great.B. Sorry.C. Class is overD. Sad.55. One reason for Latin enthusiasts to su pport young students’ learning Latin is _______.A. Latin has a longer history than EnglishB. Latin has less word rootsC. every letter in English word represent a single soundD. Learning Latin will facilitate English learningIV. Translation.

They have tobe ready to spend many hours at home planning their lessons and preparing homework. They have to be well organized in class, patient with students, able to appear bright and interested even if they are in fact tired or unhappy, and lively enough to control a group of young people for almost 200 days a year. Outside the classroom, they may have to prepare teaching materials, to choose books to use as texts, to help organize the work of other teachers, or to organize spare time activities for students.If you think that you have all the necessary qualities, you may feel that you would like to be a teacher. One way to decide, if you live in the United States, is by joining a club for future teachers, such as Student Action for Education. Clubs like this give advice about your field, and also allow you to watch teachers at work, attend meetings and experiment with teaching methods and equipment. You could also talk with the job advisor at your school or university. Finally, you could try teaching a younger student or becoming an advisor at a summer camp for children. Any activity in which you are dealing with children will help you decide whether you have a calling for teaching.16. The first paragraph is mainly about ________.A) how to plan lessons and prepare homeworkB) how to help organize the work of other teachersC) various skills and abilities teachers needD) how to prepare teaching materials17.The second paragraph is mainly concerned with ________.A) the ways of deciding one's future employmentB) the ways to decide whether teaching should be one's future employmentC) joining a club for future teachersD) talking to an advisor when choosing future employment18.

Which of the following does the author suggest to a person who wants to be a teacher?A) Watching teachers at work, or organizing students' spare time activitiesB) Preparing and correcting homework, experimenting with teaching methods andequipmentC) Joining a future teachers' club, talking with job advisors, or working with childrenD) Planning lessons, or attending teachers' meetingsPassage 2There are different ideas about pets in different parts of the world. In most cultures, animals are in a worse position than human beings. In some cases, however, people treat their pets like members of their families, or perhaps better. In the United States and Europe, there are special shops that sell clothing and food for cats and dogs.In many countries of the world, there is special food for pets. It is common for big markets in many places to sell cat food and dog food. However, in a small town in France, there is a special restaurant for dogs. Dogs are the only customers. There is seating for twenty of them. The dogs choose from a variety of dishes on the menu.Of course, in most parts of the world, pets don't live in such wealth and comfort. People treat their pets in a more practical way. People own cats and dogs because they keep away mice and other unwanted animals. Owners have some loving feelings for their pets, but they do not see them as equal to family members. In most places in the world, there isn't any special clothing or fine food for animals. There aren't any special restaurants for dogs.Pets around the world live in a great variety of ways, just as people do.21. According to the passage, in most countries _________.A) people treat their pets like members of their familiesB) there are special shops that sell clothing for dogs and catsC) animals are in a worse position than human beingsD) pets such as dogs and cats are very popular22. According to the passage, there are ___________.A) restaurants for dogs in every city in FranceB) no dogs or cats that wear clothingC) some people who treat their pets far better than they treat their childrenD) many owners of dogs and cats in the United States and Europe23. For many people, pets may have a more practical function because _________.A) cats and dogs can be used to keep away miceB) pets are often useful companions for old peopleC) pets can sometimes be sold to make moneyD) some pets may show loving feelings for their owners.24. In your opinion, which of the following sentences is probably true?A) Dogs and cats like to wear expensive clothing.B) Many people visit the dog restaurant in France.C) People in every part of the world like to buy fine clothing for their pets.D) In some cases, animals have better food and clothing than people.25. The main idea of this reading passage is: _______.A) Dogs enjoy fine restaurantsB) A rich cat can afford to go to any restaurantC) People treat pets in very different ways in different parts of the worldD) It is stupid to have special food and clothing for animalsPassage 3What makes Americans spend nearly half their food dollars on meals away from home? The answers lie in the way Americans live today. During the first few decades of the twentieth century, canned and convenience foods freed the family cook from full-time duty at the kitchen range. Then, in the 1940s, work in the wartime plants took more women out of the home than ever before, setting the pattern of the working wife and mother.Today about half of the country’s married women are employed outside the home. But, unless family members pitch in with food preparation, women are not fully liberated from that chore. Instead many have become, in a sense, prisoners of the completely cooked convenience meal. It is easier to pick up a bucket of fried chicken on the way from work or t take family out for pizzas, or burgers than to start opening cans or heating up frozen dinners after a long, hard day.Also, the rising divorce rate means that there are more single working parents with children to feed. And many young adults and elderly people, as well as unmarried and divorced mature people, live alone rather than as part of a family unit and don’t want to bother cooking for one.Fast food is appealing because it is fast, it doesn’t require any dressing up, it offers a “fun”break.26. American women left home to work in large numbers because of_________.A) the improved living standardB) the increase in food priceC) the need of wartime industryD) the modernization of the kitchen27. The phrase “pitch in” in Paragraph 2 is closest in meaning to_________.A) “offer help and support”B) “eat with good appetite”C) “offer compliment”D) “disagree with”28. What is a working mother’s best choice if she does not have time to prepare dinner for thefamily according to the passage?A) Making a meal out of canned food.B) Buying some chicken on the way home and frying it.C) Taking the family to dinner at a pizza place.D) Heating up frozen dinners.29. Which of the following groups of Americans are most likely to cook their meal at home?A) Single working mothers.B) unmarried mature people.C) elderly people living alone.D) Unemployed women with family.30. What is this passage mainly about?A) Women’s liberation in America.B) Changes in the American family during Word War II.C) Reasons for the popularity of fast food in America.D) Rising divorce rate in America today.Part III.

Reading Comprehension(阅读理解：每题选择一个最佳选项)[A]This year some twenty-three hundred teen-agers(young people aged from 13-19)from all over the world will spend about ten months in U. S. homes. They will attend U. S. schools, meet U. S. teen-agers, and form impressions of the real America. At the same time, about thirteen hundred American teen-agers will go to other countries to learn new languages and gain a new understanding of the rest of the world.Here is a two-way student exchange(交换)in action. Fred, nineteen, spent last year in Germany with George's family. In turn, George’s son Mike spent a year in Fred's home in America.Fred, a lively young man, knew little German when he arrived, but after two months' study, the language began to come to him. School was completely different from what he had expected-much harder. Students rose respectfully when the teacher entered the room. They took fourteen subjects instead of the six that are usual in the United States. There were almost no outside activities(活动).Family life, too, was different. The father's word was law, and all activities were around the family rather than the individual(个人). Fred found the food too simple at first. Also, he missed having a car."Back home, you pick up some friends in a car and go out and have a good time. In Germany, you walk, but you soon learn to like it."At the same time, in America, Mike, a friendly German boy, was also forming his idea. "I suppose I should criticize(批评)American schools", he says. "It is far too easy by our level. But I have to say that I like it very much. In Germany we do nothing but study. Here we take part in many outside activities. I think that maybe you schools are better in training for citizens(公民). There ought to be some middle ground between the two. "1. This year _____ teen-agers will take part in the exchange program between Americaand other countries.A. twenty three hundredB. thirteen hundredC. over three thousandD. less than two thousand2. The whole exchange program is mainly to _____ .A. help teen-agers in other countries know the real America.B. send students in America to travel in GermanyC. let students learn something about other countriesD. have teen-agers learn new languages3. Fred and Mike agreed that _____ .A. American food tasted better than German foodB. German schools were harder than American schoolsC. Americans and Germans were both friendlyD. There were more cars on the streets in America4. What is particular in American schools is that _____ .A. there is some middle ground between the two teaching buildingsB. there are a lot of after-school activitiesC. students usually take fourteen subjects in allD. students go outside to enjoy themselves in a car5. After experiencing the American school life, Mike thought _____ .A. a better education should include something good from both America and GermanyB. German schools trained students to be better citizensC. American schools were not as good as German schoolsD. the easy life in the American school was more helpful to students[B]In order to learn a foreign language well, it is necessary to overcome the fear of making mistakes. If the primary goal of language use is communication, the mistakes are secondary considerations that may be dealt with gradually as awareness of those mistakes increases. On the other hand, students should not ignore their mistakes. The language learner may observe how native speakers express themselves, and how native expressions differ from the way the learner might say them. For example, a Spanish speaker who has been saying " I do it" to express willingness to do something in the immediate future, but, by interacting with native speakers of English, you may observe that native speakers actually say "I'll do it." The resulting discrepancy(差异) can serve as a basis for the student to modify his way of using the present tense in English. But a student who is unwilling to interact in the first place would lose this opportunity to learn by trial and error.6. According to the passage, foreign language students should not worry too much about making mistakes because ___________.A. native speakers will ignore their mistakesB. communication is the primary goal of language learningC. everyone makes mistakes when trying to communicate in a strange languageD. native speakers like foreign students who try to learn their language7. According to the passage, the present tense in English is ___________.A. not used to express a desire to do something in the immediate futureB. used with some verbs but not with others to express future intentionC. basically the same in English as it is in SpanishD. not the most difficult problem for foreign students8. The author thinks that language learners can reduce the number of their mistakes by ___________.A. asking native speakers for explanationsB. reading good books in the foreign languageC. comparing their speech with that of native speakersD. speaking without regard to native speakers9. The passage implies that foreign students who do not interact with native speakers will not ___________.A. learn very much about the foreign cultureB. learn about the history of the foreign languageC. have to worry about making mistakesD. take advantage of available language models10. The author's major conclusion about the function of mistakes in foreign language learning is that ___________.A. mistake are not important in the process of learning a languageB. learners are often very afraid of making mistakesC. making mistakes can help the learner discover the rules of the languageD. mistakes do not interfere with communication[C]After a busy day of work and play, the body needs to rest. Sleep is necessary for good health. During this time, the body recovers from the activities of the previous day. The rest that you get while sleeping enables your body to prepare itself for the next day.There are four levels of sleep, each being a little deeper than the one before. As you sleep, your muscles relax little by little. Your heart beats more slowly, and your brain slows down. After you reach the fourth level, your body shifts back and forth（来回地）from one level of sleep to the other.Although your mind slows down, from time to time you will dream. Scientists who study sleep state that when dreaming occurs, your eyeballs begin to move more quickly (although your eyelids are closed). This stage of sleep is called REM, which stands for rapid eye movement.If you have trouble falling asleep, some people recommend breathing very slowly and very deeply. Other people believe that drinking warm milk will help make you drowsy（昏昏欲睡的）. There is also an old suggestion that counting sheep will put you to sleep!11. A good title for this passage is ____________.A. SleepB. Good HealthC. DreamsD. Work and Rest12. The word "drowsy" in the last paragraph means ____________.A. sickB. stand upC. a little sleepyD. asleep13. The passage suggests that not getting enough sleep might make you ____________.A. dream more oftenB. have poor healthC. nervousD. breathe quickly14. During REM, ____________.A. your eyes move quicklyB. you dreamC. you are restlessD. both A and B15. The average number of hours of sleep that an adult needs is ____________.A. approximately six hoursB. around ten hoursC. about eight hoursD. not stated here[D]How much living space does a person need? What happens when his space requirements are not adequately met? Sociologists and psychologists are conducting experiments on rats to try to determine the effects of overcrowded conditions on man.Recent studies have shown that the behavior of rats is greatly affected by space. If rats have adequate living space, they eat well, sleep well, and reproduce well. However, if their living conditions become too crowded, their behavior patterns and even their health perceptibly(可感知地) change. They cannot sleep and eat well, and signs of fear and tension become obvious. The more crowed they are, the more they tend to bite each other and even kill each other. Thus for rats, population and violence are directly related. Is this a natural law for human society as well? Is adequate space not only desirable, but essential for human survival?16. This passage is mainly about _________.A. living space and behaviorB. population and living conditionsC. interesting experiments on ratsD. a natural law for human society17. What is the purpose of the experiments described in the passage?A. To determine how much living space a rat needs.B. To see what happens when rats live in a limited space.C. To know the likely effects of inadequate living space on human beings.D. to find out the relationship between population and living conditions.18. Which is NOT a result of being too crowded for rats?A. They become nervous.B. they cannot get enough rest.C. They become less active.D. They eat less.19. The passage suggests that overcrowded conditions _________.A. are directly related with populationB. may cause an increase in violenceC. may lead to high birth rateD. may bring about pollution problems20. The author seems to imply that _________.A. human society is very similar to that of ratsB. birth control is essential fro a better lifeC. efforts should be made to improve living conditionsD. rats are not social animals[E]The United States is full of automobiles. There are still many families without cars, but some families have two or ever more. However, cars are used for more than pleasure. There are a necessary part of life.Cars are used for business. They are driven to offices and factories by workers who have no other way to get to their jobs. When salesmen are sent to different parts of the city, they have to drive in order to carry their products. Farmers have to drive into the city in order to get supplies.Sometimes small children must be driven to school. In some cities school buses are provided only when children live more than a mile from the school. When the children are too young to walk that far, their mothers take turn driving them to school. One mother drives on Monday, taking her own children and the neighbors' children as well. Another mother drives on Tuesday, another on Wednesday, and so on. This is called forming a car poll. Men also form car pools, with three or four men taking turns driving to the place where they all work.More car pools should be formed in order to put fewer automobiles on the road andto use less gasoline. Parking is great problem, and so is the traffic in and around cities. Too many cars are being driven. Something will have to be done about the use of cars.21. Which is NOT true according to the passage?A. Each American family has got at least one car.B. Some American families have got more than one car.C. Cars are very common in the United States.D. Americans do not use cars for pleasure only.22.

Three or four people who drive in turns to the office or the factory where they allwork.D. Parents who drive their oven children to school in turns.24. What does the author think of forming car pool?A. It is a good practice.B. It is good only for mothers taking children to schoolC. It will cause parking problems.D.

There are too many cars in the streets and on the roads.C. There are not enough cars to go around.D. Some families still do not have their own cars.[F]A four-year study conducted by the Infant(婴儿) Testing Center in San Francisco, California, suggests that babies feel more comfortable around other babies than with strange adults. According to the study, babies benefit by being with their fellow infants daily. Whereas a baby might show fear of an adult stranger, he is likely to smile and reach out for an unfamiliar infant. By the time babies are one year old, they have begun to form friendships of a sort.The above findings, based on observation of 100 babies aged three months to three years, might prove interesting to working parents who must find day care for their babies. Family care in a private home, with several babies together, is probably the idea way to care for babies under three. Dr. Benjamin Spock, well-known pediatrician(儿科医生) and author of books about babies, supports the idea. He says that family day care is better in theory than hiring a housekeeper or a babysitter.11. What would be a good title for the passage?A. How to Test InfantsB. Parents and ChildrenC. Choosing a BabysitterD. Day Care for Babies12. A baby is likely to feel more at ease with _________.A. a housekeeperB. an infantC. an adult strangerD. teenage children13. What does Dr. Benjamin Spock do?A. He recommends babysitters.B. He writes baby books.C. He conducts studies on infants.D. He directs a testing center.14. According to the passage, how should working parents provide care for their babies?A. Find a private home with other babies.B. Take their babies with them to work.C. Hire an adult to come into the home.D. Search for a large nursery with a good reputation.15. The author is talking to _________.A. working parentsB. researchers on infantsC. pediatriciansD. babies under three[G]It is a matter of common observation that although incomes keep going up over the years, people never seem to become much better off! Prices are rising continuously. Thiscondition is termed one of inflation; the money supply is becoming inflated so that each unit of it becomes less valuable. People have grown accustomed in recent years to higher and higher rates of inflation. What could be bought ten years ago for one dollar now costs well over two dollars. Present indications are that this rate of inflation is tending to rise rather than to fall. If in the real world our money incomes go up at the same rate as prices one might think that inflation does not matter. But it does. When money is losing value it lacks one of the qualities of a good money - stability of value. It is no longer acceptable as a store of value; and it becomes an unsuitable standard of deferred(延迟) payments. Nobody wants to hold a wasting asset(资产), so people try to get rid of money as quickly as possible. Inflation therefore stimulates consumer spending, and prevents people from saving.21. Inflation is a situation in which __________.A. we find our money increase in its valueB. employment no longer becomes a problemC. people can always find better paying jobsD. money keeps losing its value22. According to the author, inflation __________.A. seldom happensB. is very common at the present timeC. has become rare in recent yearsD. is just reasonable23. According to the passage, if incomes and prices rise together __________.A. money will hold its valueB. inflation poses no problemC. inflation will remain to be a problemD. the business will prosper24. When money loses its value __________.A. its rate against gold will be kept at the same levelB. it is no longer stableC. goods will lose their valueD. incomes will keep rising25. In a period of inflation, people are likely to __________.A. invest heavily on the stock marketB. save moneyC. hold on to money as a dependable assetD. spend money and not bother(烦恼) to save[H]Sports and games make our bodies strong, prevent us from getting too fat, and keep us healthy. But these are not their only use. They give us valuable practice in making eyes, brain and muscles work together. In tennis, our eyes see the ball coming, judge its speed and direction and pass this information on to the brain. The brain then has to decide what to do, and to send its orders to the muscles of the arms, legs, and so on, so that the ball is met and hit back where it ought to go. All this must happen with very great speed, and only those who have had a lot of practice at tennis can carry out this complicated chain of events successfully. For those who work with their brains most of the day, the practice of such skills is especially useful.Sports and games are also very useful for character training. In their lessons at school, boys and girls may learn about such virtues as unselfishness, courage, discipline and loveof one's country; but what is learned in books cannot have the same deep effect on a child's character as what is learned by experience. The ordinary day-school cannot give much practical training in living, because most of the pupil's time is spent in classes, studying lessons. So it is what the pupils do in their spare time that really prepares them to take their place in society as citizens when they grow up. If each of them learns to work for his society as citizens when they grow up. If each of them learns to work for his team and not for himself on the football field, he will later find it natural to work for the good of his country instead of only for his own benefit.26. When we play tennis we have to _________.A. use, first, our eyes, then the brain and finally the musclesB. make our eyes, brain and muscles work almost at the same timeC. use mainly the arms and legs to hitD. use mainly the muscles so that the ball is met and hit back27. The "complicated chain of events" refers to _________.A. the passing of information and making of decisionsB. the meeting and hitting back of the ballC. the coordinated(协调的) movements of our eyes, brain and musclesD. a lot of practice before playing tennis28. By character-training, the author means that sports and games can help children _________.A. live a better life when they grow upB. know letter how to behave properly in their future lifeC. understand better the virtues they learn in booksD. All of the above29. According to the author, a child's character can be most deeply influenced by _________.A. what he does out of classB. what he learns in booksC. his place in societyD. his lessons at school30. What is of the greatest importance to a football team isA. its membersB. its team workC. the football fieldD. the climate[I]My formula for staying young is simple: concentrate on the part of you that's young and growing - your brain. Keep your mind awake and you'll stay young all over. These are exciting times. Take an interest in the world around you, and make a point of learning at least one new thing every day.Regardless of your age, it's not too late to make your life more interesting. I know a housewife with no previous knowledge who made herself into an outstanding industrial designer; I know a retired electrical engineer who has become a highly paid ceramic artist.Get over the notion that you are ever too old to go back to school. I know a man who entered medical college at 70. He got his degree with honors and became an eminent physician. Another man went to law school at 71 and his now an active lawyer.In spite of years, staying young is easy for those who live in the future. You can do it ifyou care enough to try. Keep your mind awake and active; that's the only youth elixir(万灵药) guaranteed to work.31. The statement that our brain remains young and growing regardless of age is __________.A. an impossibilityB. a scientific factC. a suppositionD. a ridiculous conclusion32. It is wrong to __________.A. think oneself too old to go back to schoolB. keep one's mind awakeC. try to stay youngD. get one's degree with honor33. The passage states that a man who entered college at 70 became __________.A. an active lawyerB. an electric engineerC. a distinguished doctorD. a highly paid ceramic artist34. The only youth elixir is to __________.A. go back to schoolB. forget one's own ageC. keep in touch with young peopleD. keep one's mind awake and active35. All of the following statement are true EXCEPT that __________.A. human brain never gets old with age. . .. . .B. every person should take up a new occupation when he becomes oldC. staying young is not difficult if one is willing to tryD. there is always something to learn if you have an interest in what's going onaround youIV. Translation(翻译：把下列英文翻译成汉语)[A]When I was growing up, I was embarrassed to be seen with my father. He was severely crippled and very short, and when we walked together, his hand on my arm for balance, people would stare. I would inwardly struggle at the unwanted attention. If he ever noticed or was bothered, he never let on. It was difficult to coordinate our steps---his halting, mine impatient---and because of that, we didn’t say much as we went along. But as we started out, he always said, “You set the pace, I will try to adjust to you.”[B]Alone now, the widow reads considerably. She used to underline favorite passages to share with her husband. Now, in a notebook, she stores quotations like this one from Elizabeth Jolley’s Cabin Fever: “I experience again the deep-felt wish to be part of a married couple, to sit by the fire in winter with the man who is my husband. So intense is this wish that if I write the word husband on a piece of paper, my eyes fill with tears.”.. .专业. .。
