2017年同等学力《英语》真题答案解析
1. 【答案】 A【解析】上一句的“can you make it?”询问的是“明天的聚会你能来吗?”,再结合下一句的“at 10 o’clock.”,说明Kevin首先关心的是时间合不合适,所以选择A “when is it taking place?”(什么时候?)2. 【答案】C【解析】上一句“Frank is also going to make some suggestions on improving the bottom line”陈述的是“Frank也会去参加这个会议,对改善底线提出一些建议”这样一件事情,下文“he’s got keen insights”(他有敏锐的洞察力)这句话,是对Frank的一种评价,表达一种赞赏的语气,选择C “That’ll be interesting”符合整个语境。
“that”指代的是“Frank也会去参加这个会议并给出建议”这件事。
3.【答案】B【解析】根据后文“No”这个否定回答,表明上一句应该是一个“是否问句”,再根据“he’s flying to....and won’t be able to make it.”可知,该句问的内容应该是与人有关,选择B “Alan 会参加吗?”符合题意。
4.【答案】C【解析】根据Roger询问的“how’s your new apartment working out?”以及Ann的回答“that’s what I am calling out ”可知,整个对话是围绕“新公寓”的问题展开的,根据下一句“what’s the problem with your new place now”可以推测出Ann 对这个新公寓不是很满意,所以选择C “I’ve decided to look for a new place”表示她想重新找一个新公寓。
5.【答案】B【解析】“I thought you liked the apartment”(我以为你喜欢这个公寓呢)紧接在“what’s the problem with your new place now”(新的住处有什么问题吗?)这个问句后,起补充说明的作用,表示出乎意料。

Section B的题型一:摘录形式The saying“Clothes Make the Man”dates back some400years and it refers to the fact that when people see a well-dressed person,they assume that person is professional,capable,and(especially in the old days)rich.Therefore,you had to dress like how you wanted to be perceived,what you wanted to eventually achieve. Fast forward400years,lots of folks still think the same way.But does it really make a difference?I happen to be one of those who do not put faith in the old saying.I suppose I might be in the minority but I am a member of an elite club with the likes of Steve Jobs and Bill Gates in my camp.Perception is not reality;perception is halfway to discovering reality.Perception is drawn from our own impressions,our own belief systems.Is it powerful and influential?Absolutely!Is it all that it seems?Less often than you think.How many times have you cast an initial judgment only to surprise yourself later and learn how you missed out on a great opportunity,person or idea?Comment1:In the present era,many associate the well-dressed with being the most successful.It took folks in the business world a long time to overlook the way Steve Jobs wore jeans on the public stage.I did not know Mr.Jobs,though I wish I had.I have heard it said that he invented the concept of“business casual.”In my mind that is as much a matter of self-confidence as it is a matter of taste in clothing.Comment2:You are wrong about Steve Jobs.He certainly did care about how he was perceived and his appearance was very much calculated to achieve his desired effect From his early formal business clothing down to the aggressive casualness of his eventual black turtle neck and jeans uniform,his clothes and the impact they made were clearly foremost in his mind.Comment3:It reminds me of the story about the philosopher who goes to a formal dinner party in jeans.When asked if he felt out of place because of his clothes,he looked around and said he hadn’t noticed.41.Which of the following might the writer of the passage agree with?A.Steve Jobs and Bill Gates dress formally.B.We should not judge a person by his clothing.C.It is clothes that make the man.D.The well-dressed are more likely to succeed.42.According to the writer of the passage,perceptionA.might prove wrongB.is powerful and reliableC.is half realityD.might be worthless to us43.The writer of Comment1seems to_______________.A.dislike the way Steve Jobs dressed for business occasionsB.suggest that business people have no taste in clothingC.believe that the well-dressed are the most successfulD.think that Steve Jobs’casualness reflected his self-confidence44.Speaking of Steve Jobs,the writer of Comment2_____________.A.points out that Steve Jobs was a very aggressive personB.suggests that he and Steve Jobs used to be in the same clubC.holds the same view as the writer of the passageD.thinks Steve Jobs’casualness was carefully thought out45.When he went to the dinner party in jeans(Comment3),the philosopherA.thought that people liked his clothesB.was not aware of how his clothes lookedC.felt quite embarrassedD.considered himself out of placePsychologists warn that plastic surgery can lead to an identity crisis,among other psychological issues.If you were a fan of the MTV reality series The Hills,you’ll remember the complete physical transformation of Heidi Montag.In mere months, she went from a petite(娇小的),natural beauty from Colorado to resembling some sort of blonde Barbie as a result of multiple facial and body reconstructive surgeries that she didn’t even attempt to hide from the public.What’s worse is that she was in her early20s at the time.We all figured that deep psychological issues were at the root of Montag’s shocking procedure list,and now,according to a number of U.S.psychologists,we can safely assume that she may also be suffering from an identity crisis.Psychologist Paul Lorene tells the Daily Mail that most patients undergo cosmetic surgery for the wrong reasons,wanting to look similar to a particular model or actor.“They have this glorified picture of this perfect identity,”he says,and this can lead to deep psychological problems when the patients discover the identity they were after isn’t actually perfect.Often people don’t realize the attachments they have to their facial features until they alter them with surgery.Perhaps you always hated your large nose,but whether you liked it or not,it was a part of you for your life thus far.If you have surgery to make it smaller,it is reasonable to believe that your identity could suffer if you end up feeling disconnected from your own face that is now unfamiliar.Do you think cosmetic surgeries can cause identity crisis?Comment1:The image that people see in the mirror and take for granted actually runs deeper. After appearance-altering surgery,some patients come to realize“that imperfection is actually part of their identity”.Comment2:The identity crisis exists long before the surgery takes place.If you don’t get plastic surgery you will still have an identity crisis.I have identity crisis every morning when I look in the mirror.When did I get older?And where the hell is my hair? Comment3:To quote American Judge Judy,“Beauty fades,dumb is forever.”Comment4:When you look in the mirror and don’t recognize yourself,then you have an identitycrisis.Really,these studies and articles of this sort are stating the obvious.1.The main idea of the quoted blog is that________________.A.some people undergo facial surgery for wrong reasonsB.the patients will eventually find facial surgeries unsatisfyingC.plastic surgery can cause a loss of self-identityD.People’s facial features are important for their self-identity2.According to the blog,Heidi Montag__________________.A.was ugly before she received reconstructive surgeriesB.is suffering from a serious identity crisis nowC.has changed drastically after the reconstructive surgeriesD.was reluctant to show her greatly-changed beauty in public3.Among all the comments,which seems in disagreement with the main idea ofthe blog?ment1ment2ment3 ment44.By saying“Beauty fades,dumb is forever”,Judge Judy means that_________.A.it is unwise trying to have beauty by taking plastic surgeriesB.plastic surgery or no plastic surgery,everyone will get oldC.to keep beauty,you have to take plastic surgeries again and againD.beauty cannot cover up foolishness5.According to the writer of Comment4,the studies on the relationship of plastic surgery and identity crisis______________.A.is meaningfulB.should be deepenedC.is quite ridiculousD.is a waste of timeSection B的题型一:小标题选择A.Build Your Kids’Work SkillsB.Place Time Limits on Leisure ActivitiesC.Talk about the Future on a Regular BasisD.Help Your Kids Figure Out Who They Are1.____________You can start this process when they are11or12.Periodically review their emerging strengths and weaknesses with them and work together on any shortcomings,like difficulty in communicating well or collaborating.Also,identify the kinds of interests they keep coming back to,as these offer clues to the careers that will fit them best. 2.____________Kids need a range of authentic role models-as opposed to members of their clique, pop stars and vaunted athletes.Have regular dinner-table discussions about people the family knows and how they got where they are.Discuss the joys and downsides of your own career and encourage your kids to form some ideas about their own future.When asked what they want to do they should be discouraged from saying“I have no idea".They can change their minds200times,but having only a foggy view of the future is of little good.3.____________Teachers are responsible for teaching kids how to leam;parents should be responsible for teaching them how to work.Assign responsibilities around the house and make sure homework deadlines are met.Encourage teenagers to take a part-time job.Kids need plenty of practice delaying gratification and deploying effective organizational skills,such as managing time and setting priorities.4.____________Playing video games encourages immediate content.And hours of watching TV shows with canned laughter only teaches kids to process information in a passive way.At the same time,listening through earphones to the same monotonous beats for long stretches encourages kids to stay inside their bubble instead of pursuing other endeavors.All these activities can prevent the growth of important communication and thinking skills and make it difficult for kids to develop the kind of sustained concentration they will need for most jobs.A.Drug overuse and its consequenceB.Misuse of medicine among the young generationC.Benefits of medicine and its wise useD.Improper use of medicine among senior citizens1.___________Nowadays,millions of people misuse and even overuse pain medications and other drugs.Research by the American National Institute on Drug Abuse(NIDA,1999) shows that around2%of the population over age12were using drugs non-medically.2.___________NIDA views medications as a powerful force or good in contemporary world.They reduce and remove pain for millions of people suffering from illness and disease. They make it possible for doctors to perform complicated surgery to save lives.Many people afflicted by serious medical conditions are able to control their symptoms and become active,contributing citizens.NIDA points out that most individuals who take these drags use them in a responsible way.3.____________Nevertheless,overuse of drugs such as opioids,central nervous system(CNS) depressants and stimulants does lead to harmful reliance in some people and is therefore becoming a serious public health concern.Although this abuse affects many people worldwide,particular trends of concern to the medical profession in the US appear among older adults,teenagers and women.4.____________Though it may be a surprise to many,the misuse of medications may be the most common form of drug abuse among the elderly.Dr.Kenneth Schrader of DukeUniversity,North Carolina states that although the elderly represent about 13%of the US population,those aged 65and over account for the consumption of one third of all drugs.People in this age group use medications roughly three times more than the general population and have poorer compliance with instruction for use.In another study of elderly patients admitted to treatment programs,70%were women who had overused medicines .短文填空Text OnePhrases:A.which makes you 56B.like 57any compensationC.to take any 58Picture this situation:you have bought a faulty item from a shop and you take it back to complain.You go directly to the shop assistant and tell them your problem.They say they cannot help you ,59,to the point perhaps where you start insulting the poor shop assistant.This will do you no favors,___60___,or even your money back .If you go directly to the first person you see ,you may be wasting your time as they may be powerless ___61____.So the important lesson to be learnt is to make sure firstly that you are speaking to the relevant person,the one who has the authority to make decisions.Text TwoPhrases :A.20%____62_____to feel happyB ._____63_____the physical distance between friendsC .but not ____64_____happinessD .lasted for _____65_____The new study found that friends of happy people had a greater chance of being happy themselves .And ____66____,the larger the effect they had on each other’s happiness.For example,a person was ___67____if a friend living within one and a half kilometers was also happy.Having a happy neighbor who lived next door increased an individual’s chance of being happy by 34%.The effects of friends’happinessA.angrierB.gettingC.actionA.the smallerB.as much asC.up to a yearD.more likely____68____.The researchers found that happiness really is contagious Sadness also spread among friends_____69______.Text Threeter regrettedB.spendingC.tend to Phrases:A.remember past impulse purchases that you___70___B.you may___71___purchase on impulseC.keep___72___under controlIn addition to the external pressure we face from marketing,our own feelings and habits can contribute to excessive spending.Here are some suggestions to help you___73___.First,resist your impulse buying.Do you enjoy the excitement of shopping and finding a bargain?If so,___74____.To resist,slow down and think realistically about the long-term consequences of buying,owning,and maintaining what you are planning to buy.Stop and___75___.Give yourself a“cool down”period before making your final decision.完型填空1The history of transportation is very long and full of changes and inventions.It starts_46_walking,which is not any invention;it just takes energy.People used to walk to get to other places.If you wanted to get somewhere quickly,the_47_way to do that was to run.Actually,the first invention for transportation_48_was the shoe. Centuries ago there were no shoes,and people walked barefoot.Then people invented_49_to transport themselves and materials from one place to another.In some cultures,people invented sledges(雪橇),_50_are a kind of board that you drag along the ground.You can tie things on the sledge to help carry them,but it’s a challenging invention_51_if you hit a rock with the sledge as you pull it,the contents can_52_.In other cultures,people invented the wheel,which they used to make it easier to move things-and people.That was the beginning of many innovations in transportation._53_people had wheels they could invent other ways to travel.They could put the wheel on a board and make it a wagon,and then they could_54_that wagon to an ox or a horse and ride as well as carry materials.That wheel led to_55_we have today:trucks,automobiles,and even boats and planes.For example,there were steamboats that used giant wheels that turned with blades,pushing the water and pushing the boat forward.46.

Choose the best answer and mark your answer on the Answer Sheet.Passage OneUnder the right circumstances, choosing to spend time alone can be a huge psychological blessing. In the 1980s, the Italian journalist and author Tiziano Terzani. after many years of reporting across Asia, holed himself up in a cabin in Ibaraki Prefecture, Japan. "For a month I had no one to talk to except my dog Baoli," he wrote in his book A Fortune Teller Told Me. Terzani passed the time with books, observing nature, "listening to ihe winds in the trees, watching butterflies, enjoying silence" Forthe first time in a long while he felt free from the unending anxieties of daily life:"At last I had time to have time."Terzani’s embrace of isolation was relatively unusual: Humans have long considered solitude an inconvenience, something to avoid, a punishment, a realm of loners. Science has often associated it with negative outcomes. Freud, who linked solitude with anxiety, noted that, "in children the first fears relating to situatious are those of darkness and solitude." John Cacioppo, a modern social neuro-scientist who has extensively studied loneliness—what he calls “chronic perceived isolation”—contends that, beyond damaging our thinking powers, isolation can even harm our physical health. But increasingly scientists are approaching solitude as something that, when pursued by choice, can prove a therapy.This is especially true in times of personal disorder, when the instinct is often for people to reach outside of themselves for support.“When people are experiencing crisis it's not always just about you: It's about how you are in society," explains Jack Fong, a sociologist at California State Polytechnic University who has studied solitude.In other words, when people remove themselves from the social context of their lives, they are better able to see how they're shaped by that context. Thomas Merton, a monk and writer who spent years alone, held a similar notion. "We cannot see things in perspective until we cease to hug them to our breast,” he writ es in Thoughtsin Solitude. "people can go for a walk or listen to music and feel that they are deeply in touch with themselves.”21. Tiziano Terzani spent a month alone to______.A.embrace isolationB. study butterfliesC. write a bookD. look after his dog22.The word "solitude", (Para. 2) is closest in meaning to "_____".A.growing anxiousB. feeling emptyC. being helplessD. staying alone23.The opinions of Freud and Cacioppo are cited to show that _____.A.children tend to fear darkness and solitudeB. solitude pursued by choice can be a therapyC. chronic isolation can harm interpersonal relationsD. solitude has long been linked with negative outcomes24.According to Jack Fong, the sense of personal crisis may be influencedby _____.A. an isolated lifestyleB. mental disorderC. low seif-esteemD. social context25.The main idea of the passage is that .A.solitude should be avoided at all costsB. anxieties of daily life may cause personal crisisC.choosing to spend time alone can be a blessingD. seeking support is useless for tackling personal crisisPassage TwoScience is finally beginning to embrace animals who were, for a long time, considered second-class citizens.As Annie Potts of Canterbury University has noted, chickens distinguish among one hundred chicken faces and recognize familiar individuals even after months of separation. When given problems to solve, they reason: hens trained to pick colored buttons sometimes choose to give up an immediate (lesser) food reward for a slightly later (and better) one. Healthy hens may aid friends, and mourn when those friends die.Pigs respond meaningfully to human symbols. When a research team led by Candace Croney at Penn State University carried wooden blocks marked with X and O symbols around pigs, only the O carriers offered food to the animals. The pigs soon ignored the X carriers in favor of the 0's. Then the team switched from real-life objects to T-shirts printed with X or O symbols Still, the pigs ventured only toward the 0-shirtcd people: they had transferred thrir knowledge to a two-dimensional format, a not-inconsiderable feat of reasoning.Fairly soon, I came to see that along with our closest living relatives, cetaceans (鲸目动物)too are masters of cultural learning,and elephants express profound joy andmourning with their social companions. Long-term studies in the wild on these mammals helped to fuel a perspective shift in our society: the public no longer so easily accepts monkeys made to undergo painful procedures in laboratories, elephants forced to perfonn in circuses, and dolphins kept in small tanks at theme parks.Over time, though, as I began to broaden out even further and explore the inner lives of fish, chicken, pigs, goats, ami cows, I started to wonder: Will the new science of "food animals" bring an ethical revolution in terms of who we eat? In other words, will the breadth of our ethics start to catch up with the breadth of our science? Animal activists are already there, of course, committed to not eating these animals. But what about the rest of us? Can paying attention to the thinking and feeling of these animals lead us to make changes in who we eat?26. According to Annie Potts, hens' choice of a later and better reward indicates their ability of _____ .A. social interactionB. facial recognitionC. logical reasoningD. mutual learning27.The expression "not-inconsiderable feat'' (Para. 3) shows what pigs can do is_____ .A. extraordinaryB. weirdC. uniqueD. understandable28.What is Paragraph 4 mainly about?A. The similarities between mammals and humans.B. The necessity of long-term studies on mammals.C. A change of public attitude to the treatment of mammals.D.A new discovery of how mammals think and feel.29.What is the author's view on eating "food animals''?A.He regrets eating them before.B. He considers eating them justifiable.C. He is not concerned about the issueD.He calls for a change in what we eat.30.What is the best title for the passage?A.In Praise of Food AnimalsB. Food Animals in Science ReportsC. The Inner Lives of Food AnimalsD.Food Animals: Past, Present and FuturePassage ThreeAlmost eight decades ago, the American educator Abraham Flexner published an article entitled The Usefulness of Useless Knowledge. In it, he argued that ihe most powerful intellectual and technological breakthroughs usually emerged from research that initially appeared "useIess", without much relevance to real life.As a result, it was vital, Flexner said,that these “useless” efforts should be supported, even if they did not produce an immediate payback, because otherwise the next wave of innovation simply would not occur. "Curiosity, which may or may not produce something useful, is probably the outstanding characteristic of modern thinking,” he declared.In 1929. Flexner persuaded a wealthy American family, the Bambergers, to use some of their donations to fund the Institute for Advanced Study (IAS) at Princeton to support exactly this kind of t "undirected" research.And it paid off: brilliant Jewish scientists fleeing from Nazi Germany, such as Albert Einstein, gathered at the IAS to explore undirected ideas. And while some of these, such as Einstein's own work developing his earlier theory of relativity, did notinitially seem valuable, many eventually produced powerful applications (though after many decades)."Without Einstein's theory, our GPS tracking devices would be inaccurate by about seven miles," writes Robbert Dijkgraaf, the current director of the IAS, in the foreword to a newly released reprint of Flexner's article. Concepts such as quantummechanics (量子力学)or superconductivity also seemed fairly useless at first—butyielded huge dividends at a later date.The reason why the IAS is re-releasing Flexner's article now is that scientists such as Dijkgraaf fear this core principle is increasingly under threat. The Trump administration has released a projected budget that threatens to reduce funding for arts, science and educational groups. Many Republicans believe that research is better financed by business or phiianthropists (慈善家)than by government. But one striking fact about the past century is how much American innovation originated in federal projects; Silicon Valley would never have boomed were it not for the fact that state funding enabled ihe development of the World Wide Web, for example.31.What may be the best title for the passage?A.The Value of Creative IdeasB.The Importance of Basic ResearchC. Innovation in Silicon ValleyD. In Praise of “Useless” Endeavors32.According to Abraham Flexner, what is an important feature of modem thinking?A. Curiosity.B.Application.C. Devotion.D. Passion.33.The "undirected" research (Para. 3) refers to research _____ .A.not funded by government agenciesB.without any practical purpose in mindC.with indefinite experimental methodsD.supported by non-profit organizations34.Examples of initially "useless" research include all of the following EXCEPT_____ .A.quantum mechanicsB.theory of relativityC.superconductivityD.GPS tracking devices35.Flexner's article was reprinted because _____ .A.businesses in Silicon Valley wish to put pressure on the governmentB.Democrats believe that government funding should go to small businessesC.Republicans argue that scientific research should be financed by businessesD.some scientists worry that government will cut its funding for basic researchPassage FourIn 1902, Georges Melies made and released a movie called A TVip to the Moon. In this movie, the spaceship was a small capsule, shaped like a bullet, that was loaded into a giant cannon and aimed at the moon.This movie was based on a book that came out many years earlier by an author named Jules Verne. One of the fans of the book was a Russian man, Konstantin Tsiolkovsky. The book made him think. Could one really shoot people out of a cannon and have them get safely to the moon? He decided one couldn't, but it got him thinking of other ways one could get people to the moon. He speni his life considering this problem and came up with many solutions.Some of Tsiolkovsky’s solutions gave scientists in America and Russia ideas when they began to think about space travel. They also thought about airplanes they and other people had made, and even big bombs that could fly themselves very long distances.Many scientists spent years working together to solve the problem. They drew and discussed different designs until they agreed on the ones that were the best. Then, they built small models of those designs, and tested and tested them until they felt ready to build even bigger models. They made full-scale rockets, which they launched without any people inside, to test for safety. Often the rockets weren't safe, and they exploded right there on the launch pad, or shot off in crazy directions like a balloon that you blow up and release without tying it first After many, many tests, they started to send small animals into space. Only after a long time did they ever put a person inside a rocket and shoot him into space.Even after they began sending people into space, scientists were still trying to improve the shape of the rockets. The design changed many times, and eventually ended up looking like a half-rocket and half-airplane. The machine called space shuttle was used for many years. Now, the government lets private companies try their own designs for spaceships, and they have come up with many different,crazy-looking machines.36.In the movie A Trip to the Moon, the spaceship was sent to the moon _____ .A.in a capsuleB. in a bulletC. by a cannonD. by a gun37.The movie was based on a book written by _____ .A.Konstantin TsiolkovskyB. an unknown authorC. Georges MeliesD. Jules Verne38.Before the invention of a spaceship, possible solutions of space travel included all of the following EXCEPT _____ .A. bombsB. balloonsC. airplanesD. rockets39.What is Paragraph 4 mainly about?A. It took a long time and hard work to send a person into space.B.American scientists worked better than Russian scientists.C.Scientists from Russia and America had close cooperation.D. The design of the rocket was inspired by the movie A Trip to the Moon.40.The word "shoot" (Fara. 4) is closest in meaning to "_____".A. send with great forceB. break into many piecesC. fix a problemD. attack with a weaponSection BDirections: In this section, you are required to rend one quoted blog and the comments on it. The blog and comments are followed by questions or unfinished statements, each with four suggested answers A t B, C and D. Choose the best answer and mark your aftswer on the Answer Sheet.In 2003,1 was told by a restaurant owner on a Thai island that local fishermen used to wrap their lunch in banana leaves, which they would then casually toss overboard when done. That was OK, because the leaves decayed and the fish ate them all. But in the past decade, he said, plastic wrap had rapidly replaced banana leaves, so the beach was edged with a crust of plastic.This is a worldwide problem一we can’t point the finger at Thai fishermen. The UKalone produces more than 170m tons of waste every year, much of it food packaging. Now we live in an absurd age where a packet of cookies can have seven layers of wrapping. While it has revolutionised the way we store and consume food, there isnow so much of it that landfills(垃圾填埋场)can’t cope. Some of it is poisonous, andsome of it never degrades. It can take 450 years for some types of plastic bottle to break down. Indeed, as Rachell e Strauss of the UK’s Zero Waste Week says, we never actually throw anything “away”一it's really just put somewhere else.lt’s easy to despair at the scale of handling the p lastic wrap, but it isn't beyond humanity to solve it—look at how the world took action on CFCs (含氯氟烃):thereare signs that the hole in the ozone layer is now closing. Food packaging ought to be a doddle.Comment 1:While as an individual I can do my best to avoid excessive packaging, it is really only government regulation that can force corporations to change their practices. Comment 2:I never understand why supermarket chains insist on covering products such as bananas and cucumbers in plastic wrap. Why? They have their own packaging--the skin or peel!Comment 3;I love packaging—if it's well designed of course. It helps us be more hygienic and practical. The solution to these packaging necessities is clearly to encourage the use of bio-degradable packaging.Comment 4:Before, everything we threw out was bio-degradable and now it's not. Guess it's hard to change that behavior overnight.41.What is the author's view on the plastic problem in Thailand?A. The problem is not unique to Thailand.B. There is no point overreacting to the problem.C.It is important to raise people's awareness.D. The government should be held responsible.42."A packet of cookies" is mentioned in Paragraph 2 to _____ .A. illustrate the problem of excessive packagingB. introduce the revolutionary way of packagingC.review the gradual development of packagingD. emphasize the necessity of food packaging43.The word “doddle”(Para. 3) probably means “something_____ ".A. no longer usefulB. extremely difficultC. beyond imaginationD. easily accomplished44.Which of the comments is positive about packaging?A. Comment 1.B. Comment 2.C. Comment 3.D. Comnienl 4.45.Which of the following comments point out ways lo solve over-packaging?A. Comments 1 and 2.B. Comments l and 3.C. Comments 2 and 4.D. Comments 3 and. 4.Part IV Cloze (10 points)Directions: In this part, there is a passage with ten blanks. For each blank there are four choices marked A,B,C, and D. Choose the best answer for each blank and mark your answer on the Answer Sheet.How many people can live on the face of the earth? No one knows the answer. It depends on how much food people can grow 46 destroying the environment. More people now exist than ever before, and the population 47 growing. Every 15 seconds, about 100 babies arc born. Before the end of this century, the earth may 48 10 billion people!To feed everyone, farmers must grow more food, They are trying to do so. World food production has gradually 49 over the years, in some parts of the world, 50 ,the population is growing faster than the food supply. Some experts fear the world will not be able to produce enough food fora 51 that never stops increasing.To grow more crops on the same 52 of land, farmers use fertilizers and pesticides(杀虫剂). Some plant new kinds of grains that produce more food. These things help — 53 they don't provide perfect solutions. The chemicals in fertilizers and pesticides can pollute water supplies. The new seeds developed by scientists have reached the 54 of what they can produce.When hungry people can get no more out of 55 field, they clear trees from hills and forests for new farmland, and in doing so they expose the soil. Then rain and floods may strip the topsoil from fields. This process is called erosion. Each yearDirections: In this part, there are three incomplete texts with 20 questions.

Our household budgets are filled with both big and small expenses that we imagine can be cut out to save us loads of cash or, at the very least, spent better elsewhere. One of the things you have surely considered is using public transportation rather than your own vehicle. It would be easy to assume that public transportation is cheaper, because bus fare is far less expensive than gas, but those are not the only costs to consider. Take a step back to your high school economics class and try to rememberthe lesson about opportunity costs. These, as you might recall if you were awake for that class, are the things you give up when you choose one option over other options , Although they are not measured in dollars and cents, they still have to be considered whenever you make a financial decision.Part VII Writing (15points)Directions: write composition of at least 150 words about the topic: What makes happy couples happy?

statements,each with four suggested answers A,B,C and D.Choose the best answer and mark your answer on the Answer Sheet.Passage OneThe Internet can make the news more democratic,giving the public a chance to ask questions and seek out facts behind stories and candidates,according to the head of the largest US on-line service.But the greatest potential for public participation is still in the future,Steven Case,chairman of America On-line,told a recent meeting on Journalism and the Internet sponsored by The Freedom Forum,though other speakers say the new technology of computers is changing the face of journalism,giving reporters access to more information and their readers a chance to ask questions and turn to different sources.You don't have to buy a newspaper and be confined to the four corners of that paper anymore,Sam Meddis,on-line technology editor at USA Today,observed about the variety of information available to computer users.But the speakers noted the easy access to the Internet also means anyone can post information for others to see.Anyone can say anything they want,whether it's right or wrong,said Case.Readers have to determine for themselves who to trust.In a world of almost infinite voices,respected journalists and respected brand names will probably become more important,not less,Case said.5The Internet today is about where radio was 80years ago,or television 50years ago or cable 25years ago,he said.But it is growing rapidly because it provides people fast access to news and a chance to comment on it.21.The main topic of this passage is _______.A.the development of journalismB.the rapid development of the InternetC.the effect the Internet has on journalismD.the advantages of the Internet22.It can be inferred from this passage that _______may NOT be regarded as the advantages of the Internet?A.the news can be made more democraticB.the public can turn to different sourcesC.the public can get a chance to ask questionsD.anything can be posted on the Internet for others to see23.The correct order for the appearance of the four technologies is _______.A.radio-television-cable-InternetB.Internet-cable-television-radioC.radio-cable-television-InternetD.Television-radio-cable-Internet24.Which of the following statements is true?A.Everyone is using the Internet now.B.Respected journalists will probably become more important than before.C.Only respected journalists can post information on the Internet for others to see.D.The greatest potential of public participation of the Internet is in the near future.25.The Internet brings about many advantages to human being EXCEPT (that)_______.A.more information can be availableB.improvement of the degree of democracying more right information than wrong onesmon people have more chances to participatePassage TwoIn recent years,many countries of the world have been faced with the problem of how to make their workers more productive.Some experts claim the answer is to make jobs more varied.But do more varied jobs lead to greater productivity?There is evidence to suggest that while6variety certainly makes the workers’life more enjoyable,it does not actually make them work harder.As far as increasing productivity is concerned,then variety is not an important factor.Other experts feel that giving the workers freedom to do their jobs in their own way is important and there is no doubt that this is true.The problem is that this kind of freedom cannot easily be given in the modern factory with its complicated machinery which must be used in a fixed way.Thus while freedom of choice may be important,there is usually very little that can be done to create it.Another important consideration is how much each worker contributes to the product he is making.In most factories,bosses are now experimenting with having many small production lines rather than one large one,so that each worker contributes more to the production of the cars on his line.It would seem that not only is degree of worker contribution an important factor,but it is also one we can do something about.To what extent does more money lead to greater productivity?The workers themselves certainly think this important.But perhaps they want more only because the work they do is so boring.Money just lets them enjoy their spare time more.A similar argument may explain demands for shorter working hours.Perhaps if we succeed in making their jobs more interesting,they will neither want more,nor will shorter working hours be so important to them.26.Which of these possible factors leading to greater productivity is NOT true?A.To make jobs more varied 。

Each passage is followed by five questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C, and D. Choose the best one and mark the corresponding letter on the ANSWER SHEET with a single line through the center.Passage OneThe science of meteorology is concerned with the study of the structure, state, and behavior of the atmosphere. The subject may be approached from several directions, but the scene cannot be fully appreciated from any one point. Different views must be integrated, to give a perspective to the whole picture.One may consider the condition of the atmosphere at a given moment and attempt to predict changes from that condition over a period of a few hours to a few days ahead. This approach is covered by the branch of thescience called synoptic(天气的)meteorology.Synoptic meteorology is the scientific basis of the technique of weather forecasting by means of the preparation and analysis of weather maps and meteorological diagrams. In serving the needs of shipping, aviation, agriculture, industry, and many other interests and fields of human activity with accurate weather warnings and professional forecast advice, great benefit are obtained in the form of the saving of human lives and property and in economic advantages of various kinds. One important purpose of the science of meteorology is constantly to make great efforts, through study and research, to increase our knowledge of the atmosphere with the aim of improving the accuracy of weather forecasts.The tools needed to advance our knowledge in this way are disciplines of mathematics and physics applied to solve meteorological problems. The use of these tools forms that branch of the science called dynamic meteorology.31.Which of the following could be the best title for the passage?A. Limitation of Meteorological ForecastingB. New Advances in Synoptic MeteorologyC. Approaches to the Science of MeteorologyD. The Basic of Dynamic Meteorology32.The predictions of synoptic meteorologists are directly based on the ______.A. application of the physical sciencesB. preparation and study of weather mapsC. anticipated needs of industryD. observations of commercial airline pilots33.Which of the following is not referred to by the author as a field whose needs are served by weatherforecasting?A. TransportationB. ManufacturingC. FarmingD. Sports34.Which of the following statements best describes the organization of the third paragraph of the passage?A. A procedure is explained and its importance is emphasized.B. Two contrasting views of a problem are presented.C. Recent scientific advancements are outlined in order of importance.D. A problem is examined and possible solutions are given.35.In the last sentence of the passage the phrase “the tools” refers to ______.A. weather forecastsB. meteorological problemsC. mathematics and physicsD. economic advantagesPassage TwoA few years ago it was fashionable to speak of a generation gap, a division between young people and their elders. Parents complained that children did not show them proper respect and obedience, while children complained that their parents did not understand them at all. What had gone wrong? Why had the generation gap suddenly appeared? Actually, the generation gap has been around for a long time. Many critics argue that it is built into the fabric of our society.One important cause of the generation gap is the opportunity that young people have to choose their own life style. In more traditional societies, when children grow up, they are expected to live in the same area as their parents, to marry people that their parents know and approve of, and often to continue the family occupation. In our society, young people often travel great distances for their educations, move out of the family home at an early age, marry or live with people whom their parents have never met, and choose occupations different from those of their parents.In our upwardly mobile society, parents often expect their children to do better than they did: to find better jobs, to make more money, and to do all the things that they were unable to do. Often, however, the ambitions that parents have for their children are another cause of the division between them. Often, they discover that they have very little in common with each other.Finally, the speed at which changes take place in our society is another cause of the gap between the generations. In a traditional culture, elderly people are valued for their wisdom, but in our society the knowledge of a lifetime may become obsolete overnight. The young and the old seem to live in two very different worlds, separated by different skills and abilities.No doubt, the generation gap will continue to be a feature of American life for some time to come. Its causes are rooted in the freedoms and opportunities of our society, and in the rapid pace at which society changes.36.Which of the following can be used as the best title of the passage?A. The Sudden Appearance of the Generation Gap.B. Argument over the Nature of the Generation Gap.C. The Causes and Nature of the Generation Gap.D. The Ways to Eliminate the Generation Gap..37.Which one is NOT the cause of the generation gap?A. American society is changing very fast.B. young people like to choose their own life styles.C. Parents place high hopes on their children.D. Modern education makes them think differently.38.In American society, young people often ______.A. rely on their parents to make a lifeB. seek the best advice from their parentsC. have very little in common with their parentsD. stay with their parents in order to get an opportunity for higher education39.Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the reading passage?A. Parents should be more tolerable towards their children.B. The generation gap is partly created by the elder generation.C. The generation gap should be avoidable in American society.D. The younger generation should value the older generation for their wisdom.40.According to the author, the generation gap______.A. appeared a long time ago and will cease to exist in the near future.B. appeared a long time ago and will continue to exist in the near future.C. only exists in the modern society when everything is changing rapidly.D. is harder to be reduced because of the rapid development of the modern society.Passage ThreePrivacy can be as dicey an issue within the household as it is our on the Web itself. There are thousands of families in which reading the kids’e-mail, monitoring their chats and tracking their Web travels is a solemn parental obligation. “I have every right to read their e-mail.”Says Bruce Cohen, a Reno, Nev., father of two. “Legally, I’m responsible for them until they’re 18.”Yet many others believe that invading a e-mail file is no different from opening a pen-and-paper diary that your daughter keeps under lock and key in a dresser drawer. A lot of parents- not to mention kids – find that a breach of parent-child trust.But even if e-mail is considered inviolate, there are tactics by which the alert parent can control it. America Online, the Internet service provider used by nearly 17 million households, allows parents to limit incoming e-mail to a finite list of correspondents. In any e-mail program, a scan of the senders’ addresses can give you a good idea of the nature of your kid’s correspondents. The proliferation of mailing lists being such a Web commonplace, what’s coming in can sometimes tell you what’s been going out: even unsolicited e-mail-from, say, a Ku Klux Klan site – can be a clue that someone’s been surfing some pretty scary pages.In fact, this sort of Web transparency can actually be a boon to worried parents. If your teenager is going places in the material world and doing things that you wouldn’t approve of, you may never know it. If he’s connecting with the world’s ugliness on the Web, you may have a chance to track it down. Some parents make a regular practice of typing their kids’ names and nicknames into a search engine, which gives the parents a shot at discovering what the kids are saying on their own websites or on message boards and what others are saying about them.Every parent should also take advantage of the wonderful excuse the Web has given us to keep credit cards from our teenage kids. Entry past the first or second level to most porn sites - and to other beyond-the-pale operations of hustling Web entrepreneurs – is governed by the ability to key in a valid card number.41.The passage is mainly about ______.A.the way to monitor children’s on-line activitiesB. parent’s rights in children’s on-line activitiesC. children’s rights in on-line activitiesD. America on-line service for parents42.Parents can control their children’s E-mail by all of the following EXCEPT ______.A. scanning the mailing listsB. typing kids’ names into a search engineC. keeping credit cards from childrenD. standing regularly beside the computer43.The word “breach” means ________.A. neglectB. respectC. protectD. strengthening44.Through checking the no-line communication of their children, the parents can ______.A. know where they often goB. find in time that they are connecting with someone dangerousC. know what kind of people they like to stay withD. find in time that they are going ugly places45.What is the author’s attitude towards the parents’ right to check their children’s E-mail?A. NegativeB. PositiveC. IndifferentD. Not clearPassage FourIt seems obvious that trapping more of the sun’s heat will make the planet hotter. But what seems obvious isn’t always true. According to some respected scientists, there’s a chance that global warming could plunge us into , of all things, an ice age.The argument hinges on the Gulf Stream, the ocean current that brings warm surface water north and east and heats Europe. As it travels, some of the water evaporates; what’s left is saltier and thus denser. Eventually the dense surface water sinks to the sea bottom, where it flows back southward. And then, near the equator, warm, fresh water from tropical rivers and rain dilutes the salt once again, allowing the water to rise to the surface, warm up ad begin glowing north again.But with global warming, melting ice from Greenland and the Arctic Ocean could pump fresh water into the North Atlantic; so cold the increased rainfall predicted for northern latitudes in a warmer world. Result: the Gulf Stream’s water wouldn’t get saltier after all and wouldn’t sink so easily. Without adequate resupply, the southerly underwater current would stop, and the Gulf Stream would in turn be shut off.If that happens, Europe will get very cold. Rome is, after all, at the same latitude as Chicago, and Paris is about as far north Dakota. More snow will fall, and the bright snow cover will reflect more of the sun’s energy back into space, making life even chillier. Beyond that, the Gulf Stream is tied into other ocean currents, and shutting it down could rearrange things in a way that would cause less overall evaporation. Because atmospheric H2O is an important greenhouse gas, its loss would mean even more dramatic cooling – a total of perhaps as much as 80 C(170 F)Worst of all, the experts believe, such changes could come on with astonishing speed –perhaps within a decade or less. And while we might have a great deal of trouble adjusting to a climate that gets 20 C (40 F) warmer over the next century, an ice age by mid-century would be unimaginably devastating. The lingering uncertainty about whether our relentless production of greenhouse gases will keep heating our planet or ultimately cool it suggests that we should make a better effort to leave the earth’s thermostat alone.46.The major point held in this passage is that eventually______.A. the greenhouse effect will cause the global warmingB. the global warming will lead to an ice ageC. the global warming will make the world half cold and half hotD. the greenhouse effect will bring us warm and clear water47.The argument about ice age depends on ______.A. greenhouse effectB. the Gulf StreamC. sun’s heatD. melting ice from Arctic Ocean48.The Gulf Stream refers to ______.A. streams flowing in gulfsB. the ocean current in Arctic OceanC. the ocean current northward and eastward heating EuropeD. streams coming from the melting ice from Greenland49.Europe will get very cold when ______.A. there is more rainfall in northern latitudesB. the southerly underwater current stop with global warmingC. there is more snow for major European citiesD. There is heavier green house effect on the earth.50.The global warming will cause all of the following EXCEPT ______.A. cooling EuropeB. the loss of atmospheric H2OC. melting ice from GreenlandD. even much warmer EuropePassage FiveTelevision – the most pervasive and persuasive of modern technologies, marked by rapid change and growth – is moving into a new era, an era of extraordinary sophistication and versatility, which promises to reshape our lives and our world. It is an electronic revolution of sorts, made possible by the marriage of television and computer technologies.The word “television”, derived from its Greek (tele: distant) and Latin (visio: sight) roots, can literally be interpreted as sight from a distance. Very simply put, it works in this way: through a sophisticated system of electronics, television provides the capability of converting an image (focused on a special photoconductive plate within a camera) into electronic impulses, which can be sent through a wire or cable. These impulses, when fed into a receiver (television set), can then be electronically reconstituted into that same image.Television is more than just an electronic system, however, it is a means of expression, as well as a vehicle for communication, and as such becomes a powerful tool for reaching other human beings.The field of television can be divided into two categories determined by its means of transmission. First there is broadcast television, which reaches the masses through broad – based airwave transmission of television signal. Second, there is nonbroadcast television, which provides for the needs of individuals or specific interest groups through controlled transmission techniques.Traditionally, television has been a medium of the masses. We are most familiar with broadcast television because it has been with us for about thirty-seven years in a form similar to what exists today. During those years, it has been controlled, for the most part, by the broadcast networks, ABC, NBC and CBS, who have been the major purveyors of news, information, and entertainment. These giants of broadcasting have actually shaped not only television but our perception of it as well. We have come to look upon the picture tube as source of entertainment, placing our role in this dynamic medium as the passive viewer.51.What is the literal meaning of the word “television”?A. Medium of the masses .B. Sight from a distance.C. Airwave transmission.D. Vehicle for communicationD. mocks annual performance reviews.52.Which of the following is NOT true as a function of electronics in television transmission?A. Converting an image into electronic impulses.B. Sending impulse through a wire cable.C. Feeding impulses into a receiver.D. Changing one image into another image.53.Which of the following is characteristic of non-broadcast television?A. It meets the needs of the massesB. It is a means of entertainmentC. It is broadcast through broad-based airwave transmissionD. It is broadcast through controlled transmission techniques.54.What does the word “purveyors” (In the last paragraph) most probably means?A. SuppliersB. ConveyersC. CustomersD. Companies55.What can be inferred from the passage with regard to the relationship between television and it viewers?A. Viewers have grown tired of television.B. Viewers are satisfied with the broadcast networks.C. Viewers can participate in this dynamic medium.D. Viewers don’t take an active role in watching television.Part IV Cloze (15 minuets, 15 points)Directions:In this part, there is a passage with fifteen blanks. For each blank there are four choices marked A, B, C, and D. Choose the best answer for each blank and mark the corresponding letter on your ANSWER SHEET with a single line through the center.Most people who travel long distance complain of jetlag(喷气飞行时差反应).Jetlag makes business travelers less productive and more prone 56 making mistakes. It is actually caused by 57 of your “body clock”– a small cluster of brain cells that controls the timing of biological 58 . The body clock is designed for a 59 rhythm of daylight and darkness, so that it is thrown out of balance when it 60 daylight and darkness at the “wrong” times in a new time zone. The 61 of jetlag often persist for days 62 the internal body clock slowly adjusts to the new time zone.Now a new anti-jetlag system is available that is based on proven 63 pioneering scientific research. Dr. Martin Moore – Ede has 64 a practical strategy to adjust the body clock much sooner to the new time zone 65 controlled exposure to bright light. The time zone shift is easy to accomplish and eliminates 66 of the discomfort of jetlag.A successful time zone shift depends on knowing the exact time to either 67 or avoid bright light. Exposure to light at the wrong time can actually make jetlag worse. The proper schedule 68 light exposure depends a great deal on specific travel plans.Data on a specific flight itinerary(旅行路线)and the individual’s sleep pattern are used to produce a Trip Guide with 69 on exactly when to be exposed to bright light.When the Trip Guide calls for bright light you should spend time outdoors if possible. If it is dark out-side, or the weather is bad, 70 you are on an aeroplane, you can use a special light device to provide the necessary light stimulus for a range of activities such as reading, watching TV or working.56.

Each passage is followed by some questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are 4 choices marked A, B, C and D. Choose the best answer and mark the corresponding letter with a single bar across the square brackets on your machine-scoring ANSWER SHEET.Passage OneThe way people hold to the belief that a fun-filled, painfree life equals happiness actually reduces their chances of ever attaining real happiness. If fun and pleasure are equal to happiness then pain must be equal to unhappiness. But infact, the opposite is true: more often than not 'things that lead to happiness involve some pain.As a result, many people avoid the very attempts that are the source of true happiness. They fear the pain inevitably brought by such things as marriage, raising children, professional achievement, religious commitment (承担的义务), self-improvement.Ask a bachelor (单身汉) why he resists marriage even though he finds dating to be less and less satisfying. If he is honest he will tell you that he is afraid of making a commitment. For commitment is in fact quite painful. The single life is filled with fun, adventure, excitement. Marriage has such moments, but they are not its most distinguishing features.Couples with infant children are lucky to get a whole night's sleep or a three-day vacation. I don't know any parent who would choose the word fun to describe raising children. But couples who decide not to have children never know the joys of watching a child grow up or of playing with a grandchild.Understanding and accepting that true happiness has nothing to do with fur, is one of the most liberating realizations. It liberates time: now we can devote more hours to activities that can genuinely increase our happiness. It liberates money: buying that new car or those fancy clothes that will do nothing to increase our happiness now seems pointless. And it liberates us from envy: we now understand that all those who are always having so much fun actually may not be happy at all.31. According to the author, a bachelor resists marriage chiefly because _______.A. he is reluctant to take on family responsibilitiesB. he believes that life will be more cheerful if he remains singleC. he finds more fun in dating than in marriageD. he fears it will put an end to all his fun adventure and excitement32. Raising children, in tile author's opinion, is ________.A. a moral dutyB. a thankless jobC. a rewarding taskD. a source of inevitable pain33. From the last paragraph, we learn that envy sometimes stems from __________.A. hatredB. misunderstandingC. prejudiceD. ignorance34. To understand what true happiness is, one must ___________.A. have as much run as possible during one's lifetimeB. make every effort to liberate oneself from painC. put up with pain under all circumstancesD. be able to distinguish happiness from fun35. What is the author trying to tell us?A. Happiness often goes hand in hand with pain.B. One must know how to attain happiness.C. It is important to make commitments.D. It is pain that leads to happiness.36. According to the author's opinion, __________.A. happiness is different from funB. fun always leads to happinessC. happiness is always originated from funD. pain is another kind of happinessPassage TwoIt's very interesting to note where the debate about diversity (多样化) is taking place. It is taking place primarily in political circles. Here at the College Fund, we have a lot of contact with top corporate (公司的) leaders; none of them is talking about getting rid of those instruments that produce diversity. In fact, they say that if their companies are to compete in the global village and in the global market place, diversity is an imperative. They also say that the need for talented, skilled Americans means we have to expand the Pool of potential employees. And in looking at where birth rates growing and at where the Population is shifting, corporate America understands that expanding the pool means Promoting policies that help provide skills to more minorities, more women and more immigrants. Corporate leaders know that if that doesn't occur in our society, they will not have the engineers, the scientists, the lawyers, or the business managers they will need. Likewise, I don't hear people in the academy saying "Let's go backward. Let's go back to the good old days, when we had a meritocracy (不拘一格选人才)" (which was never true —we never had a meritocracy, although we've come closer to it in the last 30 years).I recently visited a great little college in New York where the campus has doubled its minority population in the last six years. I talked with an African American who has been a professor there for a long time, and she remembers that when she first joined the community, there were fewer than a handful of minorities on campus. Now, all of us feel the university is better because of the diversity. So where we hear this debate is primarily in political circles and in the media—not in corporate board rooms or on college campuses.37. The word "imperative" (Line 5, Para. 1) most probably refers to something __________.A. superficialB. remarkableC. debatableD. essential38. Which of the following groups of people still differ in their views on diversity?A. Minorities.B. Politicians.C. Professors.D. Managers.39. High-ranking corporate leaders seem to be in favor of promoting diversity so as toA. lower the rate of unemploymentB. win equal political rights for minoritiesC. be competitive in the world marketD. satisfy the demands of a growing population40. It can be inferred from the passage that __________.A. meritocracy can never be realized without diversityB. American political circles will not accept diversityC. it is unlikely that diversity will occur in the U. S. mediaD. minorities can only enter the fields where no debate is heard about diversity41. According to the passage, diversity can be achieved in American society by _________.A. expanding the pool of potential employeesB. promoting policies that provide skills to employeesC. training more engineers, scientists, lawyers and business managersD. providing education for all regardless of race or sex42. The author's attitude towards diversity is _________.A. positiveB. neuralC. objectiveD. criticalPassage ThreePsychologist 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, 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 nonsmokers 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," sums up Spilich, "non-smokers performed better than smokers by wider and wider margins." He predicts, "smokers might perform adequately at many 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."43. 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 memory44. George Spilich's experiment was conducted in such a way as to ________.A. compel the subjects to separate major information from minor detailsB. put the subjects through increasingly complex testsC. check the effectiveness of nicotine on smokersD. register the prompt responses of the subjects45. The word "bested" (Line 3, Para. 5) most probably means ________.A. beatB. enviedC. caught up withD. made the best of46. Which of the following statements is true?A. Active smokers in general performed better than deprived smokers.B. Active smokers responded more quickly than the other subjects.C. Non-smokers were not better than other subjects in performing simple tasks.D. Deprived smokers gave the slowest responses to the various tasks.47. We can infer from the last paragraph that __________.A. smokers should not expect to become airline pilotsB. smoking in emergency cases causes mental illnessC. no airline pilots smoke during flightsD. smokers may prove unequal to handling emergency cases48. The way of research in this passage is _________.A. critical analysisB. comparisonC. sample investigationD. cause-result analysisPassage FourThere is no question that the old style of air pollution could kill people.In one week following the infamous "peasouper" fog in December 1952, 4,700 peopledied in London Most of these people were elderly and already had heart or lungdiseases. A series of these killer fogs eventually led to the British Parliamentpassing the Clean Air Act which restricted the burning of coal.Fortunately the effect of smog on the lungs is not so dramatic. Scientists havenow conducted a number of laboratory experiments in which volunteers are exposedto ozone inside a steel chamber for a few hours. Even at quite low concentrationsthere is a reversible fall in lung function, an increase in the irritability of thelungs and evidence of airway inflammation (发炎). Although irritable and inflamedlungs are particularly seen in people with asthma (哮喘) and other lung diseases,these effects of ozone also occur in healthy subjects. Similar changes are also seenafter exposure to nitrogen dioxide, although there is some disagreement about theconcentration at which they occur.Other studies have found that people living in areas with high levels of pollutionhave more symptoms and worse hung function than those living in areas with cleanair. Groups of children attending school camps show falls in lung function even atquite law concentrations of ozone. There is also a relationship between ozone levelsand hospital admissions for asthma, both in North America and Australia. h issuspected that long-term exposure to smog may result in chronic bronchitis (支气管炎) and emphysema (肺气肿), but this has yet to be proven.Recently an association has been found between the levels of particles in theair and death rates in North American cities. The reason for this association isnot understood and as yet there is no evidence this occurs in Australia. However,we do know that hazy days are associated with more asthma attacks in children.49. Which of the following is NOT the result of laboratory experiments?A. Low concentrations.B. Fall in lung function.C. Irritability of the lungs.D. Airway inflammation.50. Irritable and inflamed lungs are also seen in people with _______.A. asthmaB. lung diseasesC. good healthD. weak health51. Which of the following is NOT mentioned as a possible cause of lung diseases?A. The burning of coal.B. Long-term exposure to smog.C. Exposure to nitrogen dioxide.D. Attending school camps.52. The relationship between exposure to ________has not yet been determined.A. ozone and fall in lung functionB. ozone and lung diseases such as asthmaC. nitrogen dioxide and worse lung functionD. smog and chronic bronchitis and emphysema53. The association between _____________has not yet been found in Australia.A. ozone levels and hospital admissions for asthmaB. hazy days and more asthma attacks in childrenC. the levels of particles in the air and death ratesD. high levels of pollution and more symptoms54. In the last sentence of the third paragraph, the word suspected can be best replaced by ____________.A. doubtfulB. supposedC. suspiciousD. said Passage FiveLong after the 1998 World Cup was won, disappointed fans were still cursing the disputed refereeing (裁判) decisions that denied victory to their team. A researcher was appointed to study the performance of some top referees.The researcher organized an experimental tournament (锦标赛) involving four youth teams. Each match lasted an hour, divided into three periods of 20 minutes during which different referees were in charge.Observers noted down tile referees errors, of which there were 61 over the tournament. Converted to a standard match of 90 minutes, each referee made almost 23 mistakes a remarkably high number.The researcher then studied the videotapes to analyse the matches in detail. Surprisingly, he found that errors were more likely when the referees were close to the incident. When the officials got it right, they were, on average, 17 meters away from the action. The average distance in the case of errors was 12 meters. The research shows theoptimum (最佳的) distance is about 20 meters.There also seemed to be an optimum speed. Correct decisions came when the referees moving at a speed of about 2 meters per second. The average speed for errors was 4 meters per second.If FIFA, football's international ruling body, wants to improve the standard of refereeing at the next World Cup, it should encourage referees to keep their eyes on the action from a distance, rather than rushing to keel') up with the ball, the researcher argues.He also says that FIFA's insistence that referees should retire at age 35 may be misguided. If keeping up with the action is not so important, their physical condition is less critical.55. The experiment conducted by the researcher was meant toA. review the decisions of referees at the 1998 World CupB. analyse the causes of errors made by football refereesC. set a standard for football refereeingD. reexamine the rules for football refereeing ___________.56. The number of refereeing errors in the experimental matches wasA. slightly above averageB. higher than in the 1998 World CupC. quite unexpectedD. as high as in a standard match57. The findings of the experiment show that ___________.A. errors are more likely when a referee keeps close to the ballB. the farther the referee is from the incident, the fewer the errorsC. the more slowly the referee runs, the more likely errors will occurD. errors are less likely when a referee stays in one spot58. The word "officials" (Line 3, Para. 4) most probably refers to ___________.A. the researchers involved in the experimentB. the inspectors of the football tournamentC. the referees of the football tournamentD. the observers at the site of the experiment59. What is one of the possible conclusions of the experiment?A. The ideal retirement age for an experienced football referee is 35.B. Age should not be the chief consideration in choosing a football referee.C. A football referee should be as young and energetic as possible.D. An experienced football referee can do well even when in poor physical condition.60. In the last paragraph, the word "misguided" can be best replaced by ___________.A. wrongB. misunderstoodC. misledD. confusedPart Ⅳ Cloze Test (15 minutes, 15 points)Directions: In this part, there is a passage with 15 blanks.

We breathe, eat and digest, and reproduce the same life 61 common to all animals. In a biological laboratory, rats, monkeys, and humans seem very much the same.However, biological understanding is not enough: 62 itself, it can never tell us what human beings are. 63 to our physical equipment—the naked human body—we are not an 64 animal. We are tropical creatures, 65 hairless and sensitive to cold. We are not fast and have neither claws nor sharp teeth to defend ourselves. We need a lot of food but have almost no physical equipment to help us get it. In the purely physical 66 , our species seems a poor 67 for survival.But we have survived—survived and multiplied and 68 the earth. Some day we will have a 69 living on the moon, a place with neither air nor water and with temperatures that turn gases into solids. How can we have done all these things? Part of the answer is physical. 70 its limitations, our physical equipment has some important 71 . We have excellent vision and hands that can 72 objects with a precision unmatched by any other 73 .

Write your translation on the ANSWER SHEET.Since the dawn of human ingenuity, people have devised ever more cunning tools to cope with work that is dangerous, boring, burdensome, or just plain nasty. That compulsion has resulted in robotics—the science of conferring various human capabilities on machines. And if scientists have yet to create the mechanical version of science fiction, they have begun to come close.As a result, the modern world is increasingly populated by intelligent gizmos whose presence we barely notice but whose universal existence has removed much human labor. Our factories hum to the rhythm of robot assembly arms. Our banking is done at automated teller terminals that thank us with mechanical politeness for the transaction.Section BDirections: Translate the following passage into English.

Each passage is followed by questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are 4 choices marked A, B, C and D. Choose the best one and mark the corresponding letter with a single bar across the square brackets on your machine-scoring ANSWER SHEET.Text 1Office jobs are among the positions hardest hit by computation. Word processors and typists will lose about 93 000 jobs over the next few years, while 57000secretarial jobs will vanish. Blame the PC: Today, many executives type their ownmemos and carry their “secretaries” in the palms of their hands. Time is also hard for stock clerks, whose ranks are expected to decrease b y 68 000. And employees inmanufacturing firms and wholesalers are being replaced with computerized systems.But not everyone who loses a job will end up in the unemployment line. Many willshift to growing positions within their own companies. When new technologies shookup the telecomm business, telephone operator Judy Dougherty pursued retraining. Sheis now a communications technician, earning about$64 000 per year. Of course, ifyou’ve been a tollbooth collector for the past 30 years, and you find yourself replacedby an EZ Pass machine, it may be of little consolation to know that the telecomm fieldis booming.just it: The service econo my is fading; welcome to the expertise And that’seconomy. To succeed i n the new job market, you must be able to handle complexproblems. Indeed, all but one of the 50 highest-paying occupations—air-traffic controller—demand at least a bachelor’s degree.going to get tougher to find a For those with just a high school diploma, it’swell-paying job. Since fewer factory and clerical jobs will be available, what’s leftwill be the jobs that computation can’t kill: Computers can’t clean offices, or care Alzheimer’s patients. But, since most people have the skills to fill those positions, thewages stay painfully low, meaning computation could drive an even deeper wedgebetween the rich and poor. The best advice now: Never stop leaving, and keep up withnew technology.For busy adults, of course, that can be tough. The good news is that the verytechnology that’s reducing so many jobs is also making it easier to go back to schoolwithout having to sit in a classroom. So-called Internet distance learning is hot, withmore than there million students currently enrolled, and it’s gaining credibility with employers.Are you at risk of losing your job to a computer? Check the federal Bureau ofOccupational Outlook Handbook, which is available online atLabor Statistics’ .21.

These diplomas won’t look any different from those awardedtheir luckier classmates. Their validity will be questioned only when their employersdiscover that these graduates are semiliterate.Eventually a fortunate few will find their way into educational-repairshops—adult-literacy programs, such as the one where I teach basic grammar andwriting. There, high-school graduates and high-school dropouts pursuinggraduate-equivalency certificates will learn the skills they should have learned inschool. They will also discover they have been cheated by our educational system.I will never forget a teacher who got the attention of one of my children byrevealing the trump card of failure. Our youngest, a world-class charmer, did little todevelop his intellectual talents but always got by until Mrs. Sifter became his teacher.the Our son was a high-school senior when he had her for English. “He sits inback of the room talking to his friends,” she told me. “Why don’t you move him t the front row?” I urged, believing the embarrassment would get him to settle down.Mrs. Sifter said, “I don’t move seniors. I flunk them.” Our son’s academic life before my eyes. No teacher had ever threatened him. By the time I got home I wasfeeling pretty good about this.

As colleges strive for market share, they are looking for names that projectthe image they want or reflect the changes they hope to make. Trenton State College,for example, became, the College of New Jersey nine years ago when it began raisingadmissions standards and appealing to students from throughout the state.“All I hear in higher education is, ‘Brand , brand , brand,’” said Tim West who specializes in branding and is managing director of Lipman Hearne, a marketingfirm based in Chicago that works with universities and other nonprofit organizations.“There has been a sea change over the last 10 years. Marketing used to be almost adirty word in higher education.”Not all efforts at name changes are successful, of course, in 1997, the NewSchool for Social Research became New School University to reflect its growth into acollection of eight colleges, offering a list of majors that includes psychology, music,urban studies and management. But New Yorkers continued to call it the New School.Now, after spending an undisclosed sum on an online survey and a marketing“brand a rchitecture” and “identitycreation of “naming s tructures,” consultant’sth a new name: the New School. Beginningsystems,” the university has come up wiMonday, it will adopt new logos, banners, business cards and even new names for theindividual colleges, all to include the words “the New School.”Changes in names generally reveal significant shifts in how a college wants to be perceived. In altering its name from Cal State, Hayward, to Cal State, East Bay, theuniversity hoped to project its expanding role in two mostly suburban counties east ofSan Francisco.The University of Southern Colorado, a state institution, became Colorado StateUniversity at Publo two years ago, hoping to highlight many internal changes,including offering more graduate programs and setting higher admissions standards.Beaver College turned itself into Arcadia University in 2001 for several reasons:to break the connection with its past as a women’s college, to promote its growth into a full-fledged university and, officials acknowledged, to eliminate some jokes about-night television and “morning zoo” radio shows.the college’s old name on lateMany college officials said changing a name and image could produce substantialresults. At Arcadia, in addition to the rise in applications, the average studentscore has increased by 60 points, Juli Roebeck , an Arcadia spokeswoman, said.31. Which of the following is NOT the reason for colleges to change their names?A. They prefer higher education competition.B. They try to gain advantage in market share.C. They want to project their image.D. They hope to make some changes.32.

The phrase “come up with “(Line3, Para.4) probably means_________.A. catch up withB. deal withC. put forwardD. come to the realization34. The case of name changing from Cal State, Hayward, to Cal State indicates thatthe university_________.A. is perceived by the societyB. hopes to expand its influenceC. prefers to reform its teaching programsD. expects to enlarge its campus35. According to the spokeswoman, the name change of Beaver College________.A. turns out very successfulB. fails to attain its goalC. has eliminated some jokesD. has transformed its statusText 4It looked just like another aircraft from the outside. The pilot told his young passengers w hat it was built in 1964. But appearances were deceptive, and the 13 students from Europe and the USA who board the aircraft were in for the flight of their lives.Inside, the area that normally had seats had become a long white tunnel. Heavily padded from floor to ceiling, it looked a bit strange. There were almost no windows,but lights along the padded walls illuminated it. Most of the seats had been taken out, apart from a few at the back, where the young scientists quickly took their place witha look of fear.For 12 months, science students from across the continents had competed to win a place on the flight at the invitation of the European Space Agency. The challengehad been to suggest imaginative experiments to be conducted in weightless conditions.For the next two hours , the flight resembled that of an enormous bird which had lost its reason, shooting upwards towards the heavens before rushing towards Earth. The invention was to achieve weightlessness for a few seconds.The aircraft took off smoothly enough, but any feelings that I and the young scientists had that we were on anything like a scheduled passenger service were quickly dismissed when the pilot put the plane into a 45-degree climb which lasted around 20 seconds. Then the engines cut out and we became weightless. Everything became confused and left or right, up or down no longer had any meaning. After ten seconds of free-fall descent the pilot pulled the aircraft out of its nosedive. The returnof gravity was less immediate than its loss, but was still sudden enough to ensure that some students came down with a bump.Each time the pilot cut the engines and we became weightless, a new team conducted its experiment. First it was the Dutch who wanted to discover how it is that cats always land on their feel. Then the German team who conducted a successful experiment on a traditional building method to see if it could be used for building a future space station. The Americans had an idea to create solar sails that could be used by satellites.After two hour of going up and down in the lane doing their experiments, the predominant feeling was one of excitement rather than sickness. Most of the students thought it was an unforgettable experience and one they would be keen to repeat.36. What did the writer say about the plane?A. It had no seats.B. It was painted white.C. It had no windows.D. The outside was misleading.37. According to the writer, how did the young scientists feel before the flight?A. SickB. KeenC. NervousD. Inpatient38. What did the pilot do with the plane after it took off?A. He quickly climbed and then stopped the engines.B. He climbed and then made the plane fall slowly.C. He took off normally and then cut the engines for 20 seconds.D. He climbed and then made the plane turn over.39. According to the text, the purpose of being weightless was to _____.A. see what conditions are like in spaceB. prepare the young scientists for future work in spaceC. show the judges or the competition what they could doD. make the teams try out their ideas40. This text was written to ______.A. encourage young people to take up scienceB. describe the process of a scientific competitionC. show scientists what young people can doD. report on a new scientific techniqueSection BDirections: In this section, you are required to read one quoted blog and the comments on it. The blog and comments are followed by questions or unfinished statements, each with four suggested 4 answers A, B, C and D. Choose the best answer and mark the answer on the ANSWER SHEET.“I would never send my son Will to public school. Of course, he will learn something, but not in school. And I will be his own teacher, because I know what is best for him. I’t have know what he needs. In school, teachers have care for dozens of kids. They don enough time for each kid. Attention and care are very important to kids. Keeping that in mind, what is best for a child, your child? Some children excel in a traditional school setting. They just do great. However, many do not thrive in such an environment. Many of the discipline problems in traditional schools are created by extremely bright children who are bored to death. What is more distressing is that reports abound about shooting rampages at school, teenagers gunning down unarmed guards, then cornering other victims in the classroom before killing themselves. The environment of public schools is horrible. You can’t ensure the safety of your children.”Comment 1:You must be kidding. Without a teaching degree, we can’t be the teachers. Besides, our children have to play with other kids. They have to learn to socialize and willnever know how to communicate with other if they stay at home.Comment 2:I don’t see the point in it either. Parents are always too busy to spend time with their kids. How can they make sure their kids get the best education at home? That explains why nowadays getting your children into a good school is as difficult as anything and parents are anxious to prepare their children for various programs in order to be qualified for a renowned school.Comment 3:You nanny your kids too much, regulating everything the kids do. As a result, they may turn out to be too dependent on you.Comment 4:You may be right about the dangers surrounding our kids in schools. In a modern, violent, often deranged world, safeguards a re necessary.Nowadays, if kids have quarrels with each other, they don’t get a black eye, they get killed.41. Which of the following notions from the quoted blog is Not mentioned?A. Traditional schools fail to give enough attention to each of the kids.B. We can teach our own children at home.C. Bright children are often source of trouble for public schools.D. School violence is a threat to the safety of our children.42. What comments agree with the notion in the quoted blog?A. 1 and 2B. 2 and 3C. 2, 3 and 4D. 4 only43. In comment 4, what does the word “deranged” probably mean?A. orderlyB. safeguardedC. arrangedD. crazy44. What does comment 4 suggest?A. One can’t ensure the safety of your children in schools.B. Children will get killed if they go to schools.C. Children will have fights with teachers.D. Modern world safeguards the life of our children.45. Which one can be the best title for this report?A.

chance to ask questions and seek out facts behind stories and candidates,according to the head of the largest US on-line service.But the greatest potential for public participation is still in the future,Steven Case,chairman of America On-line,told a recent meeting on Journalism and the Internet sponsored by The Freedom Forum,though other speakers say the new technology of computers is changing the face of journalism,giving reporters access to more information and their readers a chance to ask questions and turn to different sources.You don't have to buy a newspaper and be confined to the four corners of that paper anymore,Sam Meddis,on-line technology editor at USA Today,observed about the variety of information available to computer users.But the speakers noted the easy access to the Internet also means anyone can post information for others to see.Anyone can say anything they want,whether it's right or wrong,said Case.Readers have to determine for themselves who to trust.In a world of almost infinite voices,respected journalists and respected brand names will probably become more important,not less,Case said.5The Internet today is about where radio was 80years ago,or

faced with the problem of how to make their workers more productive.Some experts claim the answer is to make jobs more varied.But do more varied jobs lead to greater productivity?There is evidence to suggest that while6variety certainly makes the workers’life more enjoyable,it does not actually make them work harder.As far as increasing productivity is concerned,then variety is not an important factor.Other experts feel that giving the workers freedom to do their jobs in their own way is important and there is no doubt that this is true.The problem is that this kind of freedom cannot easily be given in the modern factory with its complicated machinery which must be used in a fixed way.Thus while freedom of choice may be important,there is usually very little that can be done to create it.Another important consideration is how much each worker contributes to the product he is making.In most factories,bosses are now experimenting with having many small production lines rather than one large one,so that each worker contributes more to the production of the cars on his line.It would seem that not only is degree of worker contribution an important factor,but it is also one we can do something about.To what extent does more money lead to greater productivity?The workers themselves certainly think this important.But perhaps they want more only because the work they do is so boring.Money just lets them enjoy their spare time more.A similar argument may explain demands for shorter working hours.Perhaps if we succeed in making their jobs more interesting,they will neither want more,nor will shorter working hours be so important to them.26.Which of these possible factors leading to greater productivity is NOT true?A.To make jobs more varied 。
