One Friday afternoon he was riding along the track towards the Henderson farm. He was looking for a prize bull which had escaped from the Borrogee paddock. He reached the hills and saw at once that he could not go further.There had been a fire in the forest which had gone out. But the air was still full of smoke and fallen trees had blocked the track. Jack was just going to turn back when he saw something moving in the smoke. He waited. It was a girl on a horse, and she was riding towards him. “There’s a badly burnt man on the farm,”the girl shouted.“He saved my life. Please help me to save him.”The girl was Cathy Henderson. She had been on horseback for two hours. She had to jump over fallen trees that were still burning. Her pony had fallen with her twice. She was thirsty andalmost dead from want of sleep. But she rode back to the farm with Jack immediately.Joe Brook was unconscious when they reached him. They lifted him onto Jack’s horse. The ride back to Borrogee was terrible. Cathy was so tired that Jack had to tie her to her pony. The pony was tired too, but its courage was astonishing. It followed Jack right to Borrogee Hospital. Nobody saw them arrive because it was night.“I’ve never seen a horse like that pony,”Jack said. Cathy praised Jack Billabong, but she refused to say anything about the pony,“Joe will write about her in his story,”she said.But she did say one thing: “If Flame hadn’t returned to the farm that afternoon, Joe and I would have died.”11.Jack Billabong did not turn back because _________.[A]he hadn’t found the bull yet[B]he smelt a heavy smoke in the forest[C]he knew there was a burnt man there[D]he saw something moving towards him12.Why was the ride back to Borrogee terrible?[E]Because Joe was tired out.[F]Because the ride started late at night.[G]Because they didn’t have enough courage.[H]Because both Cathy and her pony were exhausted.13.Cathy refused to talk to reporters about the pony when she was in Borrogee Hospital because _________.[I]she didn’t know what to say[J]Jack asked her not to talk to them[K]she was too weak to say anything[L]Joe would write about it in his writing14.What does the word“Flame”in the last paragraph refer to?[A]Jack. [B] The pony. [C] Jack’s horse. [D] The fire.15.Which of the following is the best title of the story?[M]Rescue of Joe Brook[N]Courage of Jack Billabong[O]Love of a Young Girl[P]Heroism of a Lovely PonyPassage TwoThe faces of elderly, happily-married people sometimes resemble each other. Dr. Aiken studied a number of couples who had been married for at least twenty-five years. Each couple provided four photographs —one photo of each partner at the time of their marriage and another photo of each partner twenty-five or more years later. All background was cut from the photos to remove any clues. The photos were then displayed in groups: a random grouping of the persons at the time of their marriage and another random grouping of the same persons who took photographs later. Some testees were asked to pick out the partners. They failed totally with the first group. Their judgments were no better than chance. But with the photos taken twenty-five or more years after the marriage, the testees were quite successful with the most happily-married couples.Dr. Aiken believes there are several reasons why couples grow alike. One reason has something to do with imitation. One person tends to copy or do the same as someone else without knowing it. He says human begins to imitate the expressions of the faces of their loved ones. “Another possible reason,”he says,“is the common experience of the couples.”There is a tendency for people who have the same life experience to change their faces in similar ways. For example, if a couple have suffered from a lot of sad experiences, their faces are likely to change in a similar way.16.Dr. Aiken cut the background from the photos for the purpose of _________.[A]imitating the couples’ life[B]grouping the couples again[C]leaving no trace for the testees[D]giving the testees more chances17.The underlined sentence “Their judgments were no better than chance.”implies that the testees _________.[A]did a good job in making their choices[B]had difficulty in picking out the partners[C]had no chance to make the right judgments[D]did better with the first group than with the second18.The underlined word“imitate”(in Para. 2) has a similar meaning to _________.[A]copy [B] change [C] know [D] suffer19.From the passage we can draw the conclusion that _________.[A]couples who look alike can live longer[B]most partners have been proved to grow alike[C]the influence between partners can be quite strong[D]happily-married couples are often richer than others20.The main purpose of the passage is to _________.[A]explain why couples grow alike[B]tell how couples like each other[C]discuss the function of marriage[D]describe the life of happily married couplesPassage ThreeThe three biggest lies in America are: (1)“The check is in the mail”,(2)“Of course I’ll respect you in the morning”,and (3)“It was a computer error”.Of these three little white lies, the worst is the third. It’s the only one that can never be true. Today, if a bank statement cheats you out of $ 900 that way, you know what the clerk is sure to say,”It was a computer error.”Nonsense. The computer is reporting nothing more than what the clerk typed into it.The most annoying case of all is when the computerized cashier in the grocery store shows that an item costs more than it actually does. If the innocent buyer points out the mistake, the checker, bagger, and manager all come together and offer the familiar explanation:“It was a compute error.”It wasn’t, of course that computerized cashier is really nothing more than an electric event. The eye reads the Universal Product Code —chat bar of black and white lines in a corner of the package —and then checks the code against a price list stored in memory. If the price list is right, you’ll be charged accurately.Grocery stores update the price list each day —that is, somebody sits at a keyboard and types in the prices. If the price they type in is too high, there are only two explanations: carelessness or dishonesty. But somehow“a computer error”is supposed to excuse everything.One reason we let people hide behind a computer is the common misperception that huge,modern computers are electric brain with“artificial intelligence”.At some point there might be a machine with intelligence but none exists today. The smartest computer on Earth right now is no more intelligent than your average pen. At this point in the development of computers, the only thing any machine can do is what a human has instructed it to do.21.Of the three lies, the one about computer is the worst because the computer itself_________.[A]says nonsense[B]cheats customers[C]cannot make the error[D]does not admit its error22.According to the author, a computerized cashier is really just _________.[A]a machine to count money[B]a machine to receive money[C]an instrument to print codes[D]an instrument to read codes23.Grocery store price lists are updated by _________.[A]a computer[B]a keyboard[C]an employee[D]an electric brain24.The last paragraph of the passage implies that computers _________.[A]are very clever[B]never make mistakes[C]have a good memory[D]are controlled by men25.Which of the following describes the main idea of the passage?[A]Computers are stupid and inefficient.[B]Computer errors are due to its dishonesty.[C]Computers help stores update the price list.[D]Computer errors are actually human errors.Passage FourI came across an old country guidebook the other day. It listed all the tradesmen in each village, and it was impressive to see the past variety of services which were available on one’s own doorstep in the late Victorian countryside.Nowadays a traveler in rural England might conclude that the only village tradesmen still flourishing were either selling frozen food to the villagers or selling antiques to visitors. Nevertheless, this would really be a false impression. On the surface, there has been a decline of village commerce, but its power is still remarkable.Our local grocer’s shop, for example, is actually expanding in spite of the competition from supermarkets in the nearest town. Women sensibly prefer to go there and exchange the local news while doing their shopping, instead of queuing up at a supermarket. And the grocer knows well that personal service has a considerable cash value.His prices may be a bit higher than those in the town, but he will deliver anything at any time.His assistants think nothing of bicycling down the village street in their lunch hour to take a piece of cheese to an old retired woman who sent her order by word of mouth with a friend who happened to be passing. The richer customers telephone their shopping lists and the goods are on their doorsteps within an hour. They have only to hint at a fancy for some commodity outside the usual stock and the grocer, a red faced-figure, instantly obtains it for them.26.Nowadays the commercial services in the village are _________.[A]still very active[B]quickly declining[C]unable to flourish[D]personal to visitors27.The local grocer’s shop is expanding because _________.[A]the competition there is weak[B]it is a place for women to chat[C]it provides good personal service[D]the goods there are more valuable28.Which of the following is true about the supermarkets?[A]Prices there are much higher.[B]Customers often have to queue up.[C]Customers can order by telephone.[D]Their personal services are satisfactory.29.How do the village grocer’s assistants feel about giving extra service?[A]They don’t think it a trouble.[B]They don’t think it worthwhile.[C]They don’t consider it a good deal.[D]They don’t consider it a pleasant experience.30.One special feature of the village shop is that _________.[A]there is a very wide range of goods available[B]customers can order goods by word of mouth[C]customers have to order goods one hour earlier[D]there is a list of goods to be delivered to doorstepsPart Ⅲ Vocabulary and Structure （20minutes 20points）Directions：There are 20 incomplete sentences in this part.

The celebrated develop a technique to deal with the persons they come across. They show the world a mask, often an impressive one, but take care to conceal their real selves. They play the part that is expected from them, and with practice ream to play it very well, but you are stupid if you think that this public performance of theirs corresponds with the man within.Part V Writing （30minutes 15points）Directions: You are to write in no less than 120 words on the topic of “Health and Happiness”.

Each passage is followed by some questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A), B), C) and D). You should decide on the best choice and mark the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet. Passage OneQuestions 11 to 15 are based on the following passage.In bringing up children, every parent watches eagerly the child’s acquisition (学会) of each new skill-the first spoken words, the first independent steps, or the beginning of reading and writing. It is often tempting to hurry the child beyond his natural learning rate, but this can set up dangerous feelings of failure and states of worry in the child: This might happen at any stage. A baby might be forced to use a toilet too early, a young child might be encouraged to learn to read before he knows the meaning of the words he reads. On the other hand, though, if a child is left alone too much, or without any learning opportunities, he loses his natural enthusiasm for life and his desire to find out new things for himself.Patents vary greatly in their degree of strictness towards their children. Some may be especially strict in money matters. Others are severe over times of coming home at night or punctuality for meals. In general, the controls imposed represent the needs of the parents and the values of the community as much as the child’s own happiness.As regards the development of moral standards in the growing child, consistency is very important in parental teaching. To forbid a thing one day and excuse it the next is no foundation for morality (道德). Also, parents should realize that “example is better than precept”. If they are not sincere and do not practise what they preach (说教), their children may grow confused, and emotionally insecure when they grow old enough to think for themselves, and realize they have been to some extent fooled.A sudden awareness of a marked difference between their parents’ principles and their morals can be a dangerous disappointment.11. Eagerly watching the child’s acquisition of new skills ________.A) should be avoidedB) is universal among parentsC) sets up dangerous states of worry in the childD) will make him lose interest in learning new things12. In the process of children’s learning new skills parents ________.A) should encourage them to read before they know the meaning of the words they readB) should not expect too much of themC) should achieve a balance between pushing them too hard and leaving them on their ownD) should create as many learning opportunities as possible13. The second paragraph mainly tells us that ________.A) parents should be strict with their childrenB) parental controls reflect only the needs of the parents and the values of the communityC) parental restrictions vary, and are not always enforced for the benefit of the children aloneD) parents vary in their strictness towards their children according to the situation14. The word “precept” (Line 3, Para. 3) probably means “________”.A) idea B) punishmentC) behavior D) instruction15. In moral matters, parents should ________.A) observe the rules themselvesB) be aware of the marked difference between adults and childrenC) forbid things which have no foundation in moralityD) consistently ensure the security of their childrenPassage TwoQuestions 16 to 20 are based on the following passage.These days we take for granted the wide variety of music available on the radio. But, this wasn’t always the case. In the early days of radio, stations were capable of broadcasting only a narrow range of sounds, which was all right for the human voice but music didn’t sound very good. There was also a great deal of crackling and other static noises that further interfered with the quality of the sound.A man named Edwin Armstrong, who was a music lover, set out to change this. He invented FM radio, a technology that allowed stations to send a broad range of frequencies that greatly improved the quality of the music.Now, you’d think that this would have made him a millionaire; it didn’t. Radio stations at that time had invested enormous amounts of money in the old technology. So the last thing they wanted was to invest millions more in the new technology. Nor did they want to have to compete with other radio stations that had a superior sound and could put them out of business. So they pressured the Federal Communications Commission —the department of the United States government that regulates radio stations — to put restrictive regulations on FM radio.The result was that its use was limited to a very small area around New England. Of course as we all know, Edwin Armstrong’s FM technology eventually prevailed and was adopted by thousands of stations round the world. But this took years of court battles and he never saw how itcame to affect the lives of almost everyone.16. What is the passage mainly about?A) The invention of musical recording equipment.B) The role of government in mass communications.C) The emergence of a new technology.D) The similarities between old and new radio stations.17. What was the main disadvantage of early radio broadcasting?A) It was very expensive.B) The sound quality was poor.C) It could only transmit a human voice.D) The signal was transmitted over a small area.18. What was the purpose of Edwin Armstrong by inventing FM radio?A) To make it possible for radio stations to broadcast a broad range of sounds.B) To make other radio stations spend a large sum of money on more research.C) To make himself world-famous and therefore earn more money.D) To make radio stations compete with one another.19. Why did the owners of radio stations react negatively to Armstrong’s invention?A) Its use was too strictly regulated. B) They thought it was unsafe.C) It threatened their business. D) It was of poor quality.20. What does the passage imply about Edwin Armstrong?A) He became a millionaire from his invention.B) He was an accomplished musician.C) He worked for the Federal Communications Commission.D) He died before FM became popular.Passage ThreeQuestions 21 to 25 are based on the following passage.Psychologist George Spilich and colleagues at Washington College in Chestertown, Maryland, decided to find out whether, as many smokers say, smoking helps them to “think and concentrate. Spilich put young non-smokers, active smokers and smokers deprived (被剥夺) of cigarettes through a series of tests.In the first test, each subject (试验对象) sat before a computer screen and pressed a key as soon as he or she recognized a target letter among a grouping of 96. In this simple test, smokers, deprived smokers and non-smokers performed equally well.The next test was more complex, requiring all to scan sequences of 20 identical letters and respond the instant one of the letters transformed into a different one. Non-smokers were faster, but under the stimulation of nicotine (尼古丁), active smokers were faster than deprived smokers.In the third test of short-term memory, non-smokers made the fewest errors, but deprived smokers committed fewer errors than active smokers.The fourth test required people to read a passage, then answer questions about it. Non-smokers remembered 19 percent more of the most important information than active smokers, and deprived smokers bested those who had smoked a cigarette just before testing. Active smokers tended not only to have poorer memories but also had trouble separating important information from insignificant details.“As our tests became more complex,” s ums up Spilich, “non-smokers performed better than smokers by wider and wider margins” He predicts, “smokers might perform adequately at m any jobs-until they got complicated. A smoking airline pilot could fly adequately if no problems arose, but if something went wrong, smoking might damage his mental capacity.”21. The purpose of George Spilich’s experiments is ________.A) to test whether smoking has a positive effect on the mental capacity of smokersB) to show how smoking damages people’s mental capacityC) to prove that smoking affects people’s regular performanceD) to find out whether smoking helps people’s short-term memory22.

People will wear green shirts, ties, and hair ribbons. Some even dye their hair green because they believe that on that day the color brings them good luck.On St. Patrick’s Day, the Irish around the world traditionally attend church in the morning and have some celebrations in the afternoon. They dance, drink, parade, and feast. A traditional meal includes meat, cabbage and a special Irish beer called Guinness.St. Patrick’s Day is a religious holiday that can be traced back more than one thousand years ago, and it is related to a boy named St. Patrick who became an Irish saint when he grew up.He was born to a wealthy family in Wales around the year 385 AD. But when he was sixteen, a band of raiders（劫掠者）took him as a slave to what is now the neighboring island of Ireland.Patrick lived there for several years. He was so lonely and afraid that he took solace in religion and became a faithful Christian. Later, he returned to Ireland as a missionary, traveling from village to village and talking about his faith. He explained to people the Father, the Son (Jesus), and the Holy Spirit as each of the leaves of a shamrock. There were three leaves, yet they were one plant. From then on, the shamrock, a small plant that grew wild around Ireland, has been a symbol of Ireland and because of it, green is associated with St. Patrick’s Day.26.

For each of them there are 4 choices marked A, B, C and D. Choose the best one and mark your answer on the ANSWER SHEET with a single bar through the Centre of the letter that indicates your choice.Passage 1The top of the world is a wonderland. In winter, the temperature often falls to -30 degrees Fahrenheit and the sun never rises. The ocean is surrounded by frozen ground. There are few people or trees, but to polar bears, the Arctic is home.Polar bears have thick fur, big paws and other features that make them well prepared for life in their tough environment. In fact, they need the Arctic sea ice for survival. But climate change is causing larger and larger areas of summer sea ice to melt. Experts say that if warming patterns continue, the Arctic could be free of summer sea ice by 2050. That may cause two-thirds of the word's 20,000 polar bears to be gone by then too.Polar bears can’t survive for long on land. Seals are their main source of food. The only place where polar bears can hunt seals is on the ice. Although these bears are strong swimmers, they are no match for lightning swift seals in the water. A polar bear has brilliantly clever strategies to overcome this disadvantage. In winter the bear waits motionl ess beside a seal’s breathing hole, which is a narrow tunnel through the ice. Often many hours pass before the seal comes up for air and the bear kills it with a powerful blow of its paw. In summer, the polar bears that live on land eat very little and wait for the sea ice to returnWith the sea ice forming later in the year and melting earlier, polar bears do not have enough opportunity to hunt and eat. Less sea ice makes it harder for the bears to catch the seals. The bears must swim longer distances between ice packs, and they can’t always make it. The ice is also getting thinner. These conditions can cause polar-bear cubs to become separated from their mothers, who provide them with food.Steven Amstrup is the chief scientist of Polar Bear International北极熊国际. The group aims to save the bears and their home. "The more people who see polar bears and understand their difficult situations, the better the chance we’ll alter our warmingpath in time to save them," he says.11. Which is the best title for the passage?A. Climate Change in the ArcticB. How to Protect the EnvironmentC. The Arctic Is Home to Polar BearsD. Polar Bears in Danger12. Where do polar bears usually hunt seals?A. On land.B. In open water.C. In openings in the sea iceD. At the bottom of the sea.13. The word "cubs" in the fourth paragraph is closest in meaning to ______.A. adultsB. babiesC. huntersD. enemies14. According to the passage, which of the following statements is TRUE?A. Starving polar bears are increasingly coming into villages, where they may be killed either for food or safety.B. Polar bears can spend their entire lives on land if the sea ice melts completely.C. Two-thirds of the world's polar bears may disappear by 2050 as global warming continues.D. The growing distance between ice packs is not a problem for polar bears, because they are excellent swimmers.15. What’s the mission of Polar Bears International?A. Saving energy.B. Conducting scientific research.C. Seeking international cooperation.D. Saving polar bears and their home.Passage 2The exact number of English words is not known. The large dictionaries have over half a million entries, but many of these are compound words ( schoolroom, sugar bowl) or different derivatives of the same word ( rare-rarely, rarefy) , and a good many are obsolete words to help us read older literature. Dictionaries do not attempt to cover completely words that we can draw on: the informal vocabulary, especially slang, localism, the terms of various occupations and professions; words used only occasionally by scientists and specialists in many fields; foreign words borrowed for use in English; or many new words or new senses of words that come into use every year and that may or may not be used long enough to warrant being included. It would be conservative to say that there are over a million English words that any of us might meet in our listening and reading and that we may draw on in our speaking and writing.Professor Seashore concluded that first-graders enter school with at least 24, 000 words and add 5,000 each year so that they leave high school with at least 80,000. These figures are for recognition vocabulary, the words we understand when we reador hear them. Our active vocabulary, the words we use in speaking and writing is considerably smaller.You cannot always produce a word exactly when you want it. But consciously using the words you recognize in reading will help get them into your active vocabulary. Occasionally in your reading pay particular attention to these words, especially when the subject is one that you might well write or talk about. Underline or make a list of words that you feel a need for and look up the less familiar ones in a dictionary. And then before very long find a way to use some of them. Once you know how they are pronounced and what they stand for, you can safely use them.16. According to the author’s estimation, there are ____ words in English.A. more than half a millionB. at least 24,000C. at least 80,000D. more than a million17. The italicized word "obsolete" in the first paragraph is closest in meaning to _____A. no longer in useB. profoundC. colorfulD. common18. One's recognition vocabulary is ______.A. less often used than his active vocabularyB. smaller than his active vocabularyC. as large as his active vocabularyD. much larger than his active vocabulary19. The author does not suggest getting recognition vocabulary into active vocabulary by _____.A. making a list of words you need and looking up the new ones in a dictionaryB. spending half an hour studying the dictionaryC. consciously using the words you recognize in readingD. trying to use the words you recognize20. From the passage we learn that _____.A. dictionaries completely cover the words we can make use ofB. "schoolroom" is used in the passage as an example of a specialized termC. once you know how a word is pronounced and what it represents, you have turned it into your active wordD. active vocabulary refers to words we understand when we read and hear them Passage 3In 1991, when announced to be HIV positive, "Magic" Johnson became the face of a disease that the public still had a lot to learn about. The basketball star established the Magic Johnson Foundation that year and took a leading role on the public relations and fund-raising fronts in the fight against HIV and AIDS. Fifteen years later, there is still more work to do."A lot of times, what happens is that the poster is not enough," Johnson says, motioning to his likeness on the blackboard behind him. 'So I have to get out and tell them myself, like I'm doing here today." Johnson is now talking to an assembly at Boys and Girls High School in his neighborhood of Brooklyn, N.Y. The crowd is a few hundred students in a mostly black, working-class neighborhood. Thus event is the fourth of a 10-city speaking tour that is organized for minority communities.According to drug maker Abbot, half of the more than 1 million Americans living with HIV are black. African-American men are being diagnosed with the disease at a rate 10 times as high as that of white men. For women, the situation is even worse. The rate of diagnosis for African-American women is 23 times as high as that for their white counterparts."Right now, we don't have a solution on how to combat it, so we're trying to do some different things than what has happened before," Johnson says.Getting the word out is what draws Johnson to black neighborhood high schools such as this one, and the message he brings with him is a practical one. "The safest sex is no sex," he says. "But, in reality, we know only a certain number of people are going to hear that. Then I hit them with Hey, if you’re going to do it, you’ve got to protect yourself and your partner."Hopefully, by talking realistically instead of avoiding the issues, Johnson can help make the next generation of African-Americans less likely to have HIV and AIDS. "Just try to be real with them," he says. "They appreciate that."21. The phrase "disease that the public still had a lot to learn about" here means a disease that __.A. was already well-known thenB. was too complicated for peopleC. was still too new to be understoodD. killed too many victims then22. According to the passage, the group with the highest AIDS rate is ______.A. the white AmericansB. African-American menC. the American womenD. the black American women23. The speaker is named "Magic" Johnson because ______.A. he was once a famous basketball coachB. he was a happy survivor of the unhappy diseaseC. he was given chance to talk of his own experienceD. he was a very practical and realistic person in life24. The word "combat" (Paragraph 4) is closest in meaning to ______.A. come backB. combineC. fight againstD. avoid25. What is the purpose of Johnson’s speech tour?A. To take himself as an example in fighting the disease.B. To raise the awareness of young Americans against the disease.C. To provide a better cure for the black American HIV sufferers.D. To try some new medical solutions on the HIV and AIDS sufferers. Passage 4As any middle-class parent knows, unpaid work experience can give youngsters a valuable introduction to a secure job. The government has recognized it too, abandoning rules in 2011 that had formerly stopped 16 to 24-year-olds from doing unpaid work while claiming unemployment benefit. But moving from that to forcing them to work without pay in order to collect these benefits has proved a big step.More than one million young people in Britain are unemployed, the highest number since the mid-1980s. Keen both to cut the welfare bill and to avoid the depressed future wages that may result from early unemployment, the government has introduced an ambitious program of reform to get youngsters off welfare and into work. A key part of it is ensuring that no one gets benefit from the government for long; ministers are keen to avoid what happened after the early-1980s recession, when unemployment continued in some parts of the country for a long time after the economy began to improve.To help young people into work, ministers had persuaded lots of employers, including bakery chains, bookshops and supermarkets, to take on unemployed youths, who receive work experience but no pay, with the prospect of a proper job for those who shine. Some 35,000 youngsters participated last year; half found paid work soon after finishing the scheme.The idea of getting young adults used to showing up for work is popular with voters: according to a survey published in February, about 60% of people support the program. Equally attractive was the option of compelling them to work: Under the existing arrangements youngsters could choose whether or not to accept a place, but if they dropped out after the end of the first week, they stood to lose up to two weeks' benefits.Yet the scheme has also polarized opinion: a third of people are consistently opposed. Following a noisy "Right to Work" campaign that accused employers of co-operating secretly with the government in "forced labor", several firms dropped out of the program. To prevent this from getting worse, Chris Grayling, an employment minister, admitted that young people could leave their work experience at any time without being punished for doing so. This not only halted the flight of employers ( for now, at least) but also enabled him to announce that new firms have agreed to take part in the program.26. According to the passage, young people in Britain ______.A. are used to showing up for workB. value unpaid work very muchC. are always opposed to unpaid workD. could learn something about job security through unpaid work27. According to the passage, which of the following is NOT TRUE?A. Most voters support the government’s effort to help young people to work.B. Some people protest against the government' s attempt to force young people to work.C. There are more than one million young people who took part in the program.D. There are more than one million young people who are jobless.28. According to the author, the British government is trying to _______.A. punish young people if they are not cooperating with itB. reform the unemployed youngstersC. avoid the economic slowdownD. reduce welfare spendingPart Ⅲ Vocabulary and Structure (20 points)Directions: There are 20 incomplete sentences in this section.

The other depicts the recreations of rural life. In these paintings, fishermen fish on the lake, farmers hew or collect herbs on the hills and scholars compose poems or paintings under pine trees. These two themes respectively represent the ideal life of Confucianism and Taoism.Part V Writing (15 points)Directions: For this part, you are allowed 30 minutes to write a composition on the topic "Online Shopping".

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

For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. You should decide on the best choice and mark the corresponding letter on Answer Sheet with a single line through the center.Passage OneQuestions 57 to 61 are based on the following passage.So long as teachers fail to distinguish between teaching and learning, they will continue to undertake things for children that children can only do for themselves. Teaching children to read is not passing reading on to them. It is certainly not endless hours spent in activities about reading. Douglas insists that “reading cannot be taught directly and schools should stop trying to do the impossible.”Teaching and learning are two entirely different processes. They differ in kind and function. The function of teaching is to create the conditions and the climate that will make it possible for children to devise the most efficient system for teaching themselves to read. Teaching is also a public activity: It can be seen and observed.Learning to read involves all that each individual does to make sense of the world of printed language. Almost all of it is private, for learning is an occupation of the mind, and that process is not open to public scrutiny.If teacher and learner roles are not interchangeable, what then can be done through teaching that will aid the child in the quest (探索) for knowledge? Smith has one principal rule for all teaching instructions. “Make learning to read easy, which means making reading a meaningful, enjoyable and frequent experience for children.”When the roles of teacher and learner are seen for what they are, and when both teacher and learner fulfill them appropriately, then much of the pressure and feeling of failure for both is eliminated. Learning to read is made easier when teachers create an environment where children are given the opportunity to solve the problem of learning to read by reading.57. The problem with the reading course as mentioned in the first paragraph is that ________.A. it is one of the most difficult school coursesB. students spend endless hours in readingC. reading tasks are assigned with little guidanceD. too much time is spent in teaching about reading58. The teaching of reading will be successful if ________.A. teachers can improve conditions at school for the studentsB. teachers can enable students to develop their own way of readingC. teachers can devise the most efficient system for readingD. teachers can make their teaching activities observable59. The word “scrutiny” (Line 3, Para. 3) most probably means “________”.A. inquiryB. observationC. controlD. suspicion60. According to the passage, learning to read will no longer be a difficult task when ________.A. children become highly motivatedB. teacher and learner roles are interchangeableC. teaching helps children in the search for knowledgeD. reading enriches children’s experience61. The main idea of the passage is that ________.A. teachers should do as little as possible in helping students learn to readB. teachers should encourage students to read as widely as possibleC. reading ability is something acquired rather than taughtD. reading is more complicated than generally believedPassage TwoQuestions 62 to 66 are based on the following passage.The failed Skylab will come screaming home to earth in disappointment sometime next month. But it willfall we know not where.That precise information is beyond even the calculations of scientists and their computers.The best they can tell us is that the space station, weighing 77 tons and as high as a 12 story building, will break into hundreds of pieces that will be scattered across a track 100 miles wide and 4,000 miles long.We are again exposed to one of those unexpected adventures, or misadventures, of science that attracts our attention from the boring routines of daily existence and encourages us to think a lot about man’s future.What worries Richard Smith, the Skylab’s director, is the “big pieces” that will come through the atmosphere, Two lumps, weighing 2 tons each, and ten, weighing at least 1,000 pounds each, will come in at speeds of hundreds of miles an hour and if they crash on land they will dig holes up to 100 feet deep.What worries us, with our lack of scientific knowledge and our quick imagination, is both the big and little pieces, although project officials say there is a very small chance that anyone will be injured by them.That’s good to know, but it doesn’t remove the doubts of the millions who still remember the nuclear accident at Three Mile Island. That accident took place in 1979 in spite of what the officials had assured us as to the safety of the nuclear reactor.62. Where the Skylab will fall ________.A. is kept secretB. has been made publicC. has been predicted by scientistsD. can’t be predicted even by computers63. According to the passage, what does an incident such as the failed Skylab lead us to do?A. Not to believe in officials.B. To think about our future.C. To trust computers more.D. To fear for our lives.64. The author suggests that ________.A. the danger of the Skylab’s fall has been overestimatedB. it’s useless to worry over things you can’t do anything aboutC. the danger of the Skylab’s fall has been underestimatedD. computers can solve the problem caused by the broken Skylab65. The author refers to Three Mile Island ________.A. because he is doubtful about what the officials saidB. because he fears that a piece of the Skylab may strike a nuclear power plantC. because he is afraid of the use of nuclear powerD. because the nuclear reactor there and the Skylab were both built by the same company66. This passage is mainly about the author’s ________.A. interest in the failure of the SkylabB. willingness to give his adviceC. eagerness to see more new scientific discoveriesD. concern that science cannot answer all questionsSection C Blank FillingDirections:In this section, there are ten sentences with ten blanks. You are required to select one word for each blank from a list of choices given in a word bank following the sentences. Each choice in the bank is identified by a letter. Mark the corresponding letter for each item on Answer Sheet with a single line through the center. You may not use any of the words in the bank more than once.67. We all condemn the inhuman ________ crimes against children.68. They often deny this point, and ________they deny one aspect of the truth.69. He succeeded in raising ginseng ________ through unremitting efforts.70. It occurred to me that he was trying to ________ something.71. A modest man will never ________ of his merits.72.

英语2自考真题及答案解析
英语2自考真题及答案解析随着时代的发展和全球化的趋势，英语已成为一门不可忽视的重要语言。
对于许多人来说，学习英语可能是一项具有挑战性的任务。
而自考英语2作为英语自学和自考考试中的一门科目，在实际中扮演着重要的角色。
在本文中，我们将探讨英语2自考真题以及一些解题技巧和解析的方法。
首先，我们来看看一道典型的英语2自考题：句子填空题：People often say that money can't buy _________, butthis is not entirely true. Money can definitely buy _________, and this can lead to a _________ of happiness.A. happiness; wealth; lotB. happiness; security; senseC. happiness; freedom; feelingD. happiness; power; great答案：C解析：这道题主要考察对句子结构和逻辑的理解。
首先，根据“Peopl eoften say that money can't buy _________, but this is not entirely true.”这句话，我们可以得出答案必然是填入“happiness”一词。
接下来，我们需要考虑填入“happiness”之后的两个空格。
根据句子结构和意义的逻辑关系，我们需要选择符合语境的选项。
选项A 中，“wealth”和“lot”与“happiness”之间的关系不够密切；选项B中，“security”和“sense”与“happiness”之间的搭配也不够恰当；选项D中，“power”和“great”也不能与“happiness”形成有机连贯的语义。
因此，选项C是唯一符合逻辑要求、能够使句子完整且意义清晰的选项。

BecauseB. forC. AsD. So答案及分析1. C 她一直读书到半夜。
until至到……为止。
2. C 他虽然年纪大了，但还很强壮。
句子中转折词用的是but，故不能再用though，成对的连词在英语句子中只能出现一个，但翻译出来时都要翻译。
比如，因为……所以……，虽然……但是……等等。
这些成对出现的，翻译成英语时只出现一个连词就行了。
这道题在讲义中为：Though he is very old，yet he is quite strong.这时用yet可以，但是不能用but，要用but必须去掉though.3. B 听取他的建议，否则你会失败的。
