In many American universities the total work for a degree consists of thirty-six courses, each lasting for one semester. A typical course consists of three classes per week for fifteen weeks; while attending a university a student will probably attend four or five courses during each semester. Normally a student would expect to take four years attending two semesters each year. It is possible for a student to move between one university and another during his degree course, though this is not in fact done as a regular practice.For every course that he follows a student is given a grade, which is recorded, and the record is available for the student to show to future employers. All this imposes a constant pressure and strain of work, but in spite of this some students still find time for great activity in student affairs. Elections to positions in student organizations arouse much enthusiasm(热情). Students who advise the academic authorities usually perform the effective work of maintaining discipline（纪律）is usually performed by students who advise the academic authorities . Any student, whois thought to have broken the rules, for example by cheating, has to appear before a student court. With the enormous numbers of students, the operation of the system does involve a certain amount of activity. A student who has held one of these positions of authority is much respected and it will be of benefit to him later in his career.61. Normally a student would at least attend ____ classes each week.A. 36B. 12C. 20D. 1562. According to the first paragraph an American student is allowed ____.A. to live in a different universityB. to take a particular course in a different universityC. to live at home and drive to classD. to get two degrees from two different universities63. American university students are usually under pressure of work because____.A. their academic performance will affect their careersB. they are heavily involved in student affairsC. they have to observe university disciplineD. they want to run for positions of authority64. Some students are enthusiastic for positions in student organizations probably because ____.A. they hate the constant pressure of their studyB. they will be able to stay longer in the universityC. such positions help them get better jobsD. such positions are usually well paid65. The student organizations seem to be effective in ___.A. dealing with the academic affairs of the universityB ensuring the students observe university regulationsC. evaluating students' performance by bringing them before a courtD keeping up the students' enthusiasm for social activitiesQuestions 66-70 are based on the following passage:Large companies need a way to reach the saving of the public at large（大多数，整个）. The same problem, on a small scale, faces practically every company trying to develop new products and create new jobs. There can be little prospect of raising（筹集）the sort of sums needed from friends and people we know, and while banks may agree to provide short-term finance, they are generally unwilling to provide money on a permanent basis for long-term projects. So companies turn to the public,, inviting people to lend them money, or take a share in the business in exchange for a share in future profits. This they do by issuing （发行）stocks and shares in the business through The Stock Exchange.（证券交易所）By doing so they can put into circulation（流通）the savings of individuals and institutions, both at home and overseas.When the saver needs his money back, he does not have to go to the companywith whom he originally placed it. Instead, he sells his shares to some other saver who is seeking to invest his money.Many of the services needed both by industry and by each of us are provide by the Governmet or by local authorities.Without hospitals, roads, electricity, telephones, railways, this country could not function.(运作) All these require continuous spending on new equipment and new development if they are to serve us properly, requiring more money than is raised through taxes alone. The government, local authorities,and nationalized industries therefore frequently need to borrow money to finance major capital spending, and they, too, come to The Stock Exchange.There is hardly a man or woman in this country whose job or whose standard of living does not depend on the ability of his or her employers to raise money to finance new development .In one way or another this new money must come from the savings of the country. The Stock Exchange exists to provide a channel （渠道）through which these savings can reach those who need finance.66. Almost all companies involved in new production and development must ____.A.rely on their own financial resourcesB.persuade the banks to provide long-term financeC.borrow large sums of money from friends and people they knowD.depend on the population as a whole for finance67. The money which enables these companies to go ahead with their projects is ____.A.repaid to its original owners as soon as possibleB.raised by the selling of shares in the companiesC.exchanged for part ownership in the Stock ExchangeD.invested in different companies on the Stock Exchange68. When the savers want their money back they _____.A.ask another company to obtain their money for themB.look for other people to borrow money fromC.put their shares in the company back on the marketD.transfer their money to a more successful company69. All the essential services on which we depend are _____.A.run by the Government or our local authoritiesB.in constant need of financial supportC.financed wholly by rates and taxesD.unable to provide for the needs of the population70. The Stock Exchange makes it possible for the Government, local authorities and nationalized industries _____.A.to borrow as much money as they wishB.to make certain everybody saves moneyC.to raise money to finance new developmentD.to make certain everybody lends money to themQuestions 71-75 are based on the following passage:Auctions (拍卖) are public sales of goods, conducted by an officially approved auctioneer (拍卖人). He asked the crowd to gather in the auction room to bid （出价）for various items on sale, He encourages buyers to bid higher figures, and finally names the highest bidder as the buyer of the goods. This is called “knocking down “the gods, for the bidding ends when the auctioneer bangs a small hammer on a raised platform.The ancient Romans probably invented sales by auction, and the English word comes from the Latin “anctic” meaning “increase”. The Romans usually sold in this way the spoils taken in war, these sales were called “sub hasta”, meaning “under the spear”, a spear being stuck in the ground as a signal for a crowd to gather.In England in the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries goods were often sold “by the candle”; a short candle was lit by the auctioneer, and bids could be made while it was burning.Practically all goods can be sold by auction. Among these are coffee, skins, wool, tea, cocoa, furs, fruit, vegetables and wines. Auction sales are also usual for land and property, antique furniture, pictures, rare books, old china, and works of art.An auction is usually advertised beforehand with full particulars of the articles to be sold and where and when they can be viewed by the buyers. If the advertisement cannot give full details, catalogues are printed, and each group of goods to be sold together, called a “lot”( 件，组), is usually given a number. The auctioneer need not begin with Lot One and continue the numerical order; he may wait until he notices the fact that certain buyers are in the room and then produce the lots they are likely to be interested in.71. Auctioned goods are sold______.A) for the highest price offeredB) at fixed pricesC) at prices lower than their true valueD) at prices offered by the auctioneer72. The end of the bidding is called “knocking down” because_______.A) The auctioneer knocks on the tableB) The auctioneer names the highest bidder as the buyer of the goodsC) The goods are knocked down onto the tableD)The auctioneer bangs the table with a hammer73. In the sentence “The Romans usually sold in this way the spoils taken in war, the word “spoils” most probably meansA) Useless goodsB) SpearsC) V arious kinds of foodD) Property taken from the enemy74. In England a candle used to burn at auction salesA) Because the auction sales took place at nightB) As a signal for the crowd to gatherC) To keep the auction room warmD) To limit the time when offers of prices could be made75. An auction catalogue gives buyersA) The current market values of the goodsB) Prices of the goods to be soldC) The order in which goods are to be soldD) Free admission to the auction sale.Section B Short Answer Questions(15 points,3 for each)Questions 76-80 are based on the following passage:Sunglasses can help your eyes in two important ways. They improve the normal light—filtering abilities of your eyes and they protect against the sun’s damaging rays .good sunglasses will reduce strong light ,filter out (滤除)99to 100 percent of ultraviolet(UV)rays(紫外线)，provide visual protection ,be comfortable and not distort colors.The UV rays in sunlight can damage your eyes .some of the damage can be immediate while some occurs over a lifetime of exposure .Good quality sunglasses help to protest your eyes form harmful UV radiation .it is generally agreed that the less UV rays that get through ,the better .experts recommend that to protest your eyes from harmful rays ,your sunglasses should block 99 to 100 percent of both UV –A and UV—B rays .furthermore ,lenses should block at least 70 percent of visible light but even this can vary with the situation .in areas where light is strong ,such as at the beach or on snow,as little as 10 to 15 percent of transmission is better .Selecting the right sunglasses is an important choice to protest your eyes and your vision(视力)。

After reading each passage, you will find 5 questions or unfinished statements. For each question or statement there are 4 choices marked with A., B., C. and D. You should choose the most appropriate answer and write the letter in the corresponding space on the Answer Sheet.Questions 16 to 20 are based on the following passage.If you do not use your arms or legs for some time, they become weak; when you start using them again, they slowly become strong again. Everybody knows this, and nobody would think of questioning this fact. Yet many people do not seem to know that memory works in the same way. When someone says that he has a good memory, he really means that he keeps his memory in practice by exercising it regularly, either consciously or unconsciously. When someone else says that his memory is poor, he really means that he does not give it enough practice. The position is exactly the same as that of two people, one of whom exercises his arms and legs by playing tennis, while theother sits in a chair or a car all day.If a friend complains that his arms are weak, we know that it is his own fault. But if he tells us that he has a poor memory, many of us think that his parents are to blame, or that he is just unlucky, and few of us realize that it is just as much his own fault as it was his arms or legs that were weak. Not all of us can become extremely strong or extremely clever; but all of us can, if we have ordinary bodies and brains, improve our strength and our memory by the same means—practice.Have you ever noticed that people who cannot read or write usually have better memories than those who can? Why is this? Of course, because those who cannot read or write have to remember things: they cannot write them down in a notebook. They have to remember dates, times, prices, names, songs and stories, so their memory is always being exercised.So if you want a good memory, learn from the poor and humble: practise remembering.16. The first paragraph is intended to tell us that ________.A .everybody knows that memory works in the same way as arms or legsB. it is a fact that some people do not use their arms or legsC. to have a good memory, one has to exercise it regularlyD. to keep fit, one should not sit in a chair or a car all day17. In the author’s opinion, a poor memory may result from ________.A. unlucky fortuneB. weak arms and legsC. insufficient educationD. lack of remembering practice18. The author seems to suggest that we should ________.A. complain about nothing but our healthB. play tennis to exercise our arms and legsC. blame ourselves rather than our parents for a poor memoryD. learn from those who cannot read or write for a better memory19. The author comes to the conclusion that ________.A. memory can be improved by practising itB. the poorer one is, the better memory he hasC. if you want a good memory, do not read or write anythingD. the poor and humble people may help you remember things20. The most appropriate title for the passage would be ________.A. Poor and Good MemoryB. Your Arms, Legs and BrainC. How to Improve Your MemoryD. Learn from the Poor and HumbleQuestions 21 to 25 are based on the following passage.How Toxic（中毒的)Are You?Take this test and find outYes No□□1. Have you felt fatigued now and then for no apparent reason?□□2. Have you ever felt “wooden” or lifeless?□□3. Have you ever experienced drug “flashbacks”?□□4. Do you have trouble thinking clearly?□□5.

Do you find it difficult to get excited about people and things?□□9. Do you find you feel anxious but don’t know why?□□10. Have you ever experienced shortness of breath for no reason?Drugs, chemicals and envir onmental poisons don’ t just go away. They stay in your body and can even affect you years later.If you answered yes to 3 or less you could have a low level of accumulated toxins in your body, affecting your ability to think clearly. If you answered yes to 4—7 of the above questions, you could have considerable accumulated toxins, making you feel dull, lifeless and “wooden.”If you answered yes to most of these questions, you could be experiencing heavy body pollution. Clear Body, clear Mind is a new bestseller by L. Ron Hubbard. It describes the amazingly effective PURIFICAITON program that helps you get rid of the life-stopping effects of accumulated drugs and toxins in your body.Buy your copy at bookstores everywhere or contact us at 800 -810 -123456.21. From the passage we know that one of the reasons why people feel tired, anxious, etc. is that________.A. they are exposed to poisonsB. they fail to follow the doctor’s adviceC. there are harmful things in their bodiesD. there is air pollution in their living places22. The poisons from drugs, chemicals and environment may stay in one’s body and ________.A. affect him years laterB. have an influence immediatelyC. go away in a few yearsD. make him depend on drugs23.

Clear Body, Clear Mind is probably the name of a ________.A. hospitalB. bookC. programD. manualQuestions 26 to 30 are based on the following passage.Higher productivity is essential to the rising of living standards and to the declining prices of goods and services. But higher productivity may lead to fewer jobs.Early in the postwar era, analysts were worried that automation would take over manufacturing, throwing everyone out of work. That fear went unrealized for a generation, in part because robots and computers weren’t good at much. Today, near-automated manufacturing is becoming a reality. Newly built factories often require only a small part of the work force in the plants. Office technology, meanwhile, now allows a few to do what once required a large group of people.There may come a point when the gains from higher productivity pale before the job losses. But even if that point does not come, rapid technological change is causing anxiety about future employment: anxiety that makes it hard to appreciate and enjoy what productivity creates.Prosperity brings many other mixed blessings. Living standards keep rising, but so do cases of depression. Agricultural yields continue rising, yet that means fewer family farms are needed. Biotechnology may allow us to live longer, but may leave us dependent on costly synthetic drugs. There are many similar examples. Increasingly, western life suffers from the paradoxes (自相矛盾) of progress. Material circumstances keep improving, yet our quality of life may be no better as a result—especially in those cases, like food, where enough becomes too much.26. The fear that automation would make people out of work turned out to be ________.A. impossibleB. reasonableC. practicalD. unnecessary27. In the third paragraph the word “pale” most probably means ________.A. result from technological changesB. decrease in relative importanceC. result in poor health.D. increase in anxiety28. We can find in the passage that it is hard to enjoy higher production because ________.A. people are afraid of automation.B. technology may change even more rapidlyC. computers are not good at some workD. unemployment may emerge on a large scale29. The last paragraph mainly tells us that ________.A. material benefits are what we needB. prosperity is just one side of the same coinC. the quality of life may be worse than beforeD. western people are free from the paradoxes of progress30. The author implies in the passage that ________.A. while life gets better, people feel worseB. life is generally not as good as it used to beC. people should return to the past to feel betterD. our quality of life has turned worse before it turns betterQuestions 31 to 35 are based on the following passages.In today’s competitive job market, students are looking for degrees outside their home countries to position themselves as global managers fluent in international practices. Among them is Simon Tindall, an American who turned down a scholarship to Georgetown University in Washington in favor of Cambridge.Foreign students make up an average 70 percent to 80 percent of non-U.S. MBA programs. In contrast, the Wharton School, at the University of Pennsylvania, reports one of the highest percentages of international students for an American program at 39 percent, a figure that includes U.S. permanent residents.While the tough recruiting climate for graduates entering the U. S. job market is a factor in the decrease, another pressure point seems to be restrictions on visas for travel, education and work in the States after the war in Iraq, SARS in Asia and political changes related to the terrorist attacks of Sept. 11, 2001.One Chinese student said she had been offered a full scholarship to attend the University of Michigan’s MBA progr am in 2002 but that a visa request had been denied two years in a row. Another could not obtain a visa to enroll at the University of California at Los Angeles.Many students are also being attracted by the affordability of international programs, especia lly in relation to costs in the United States. Most MBA programs outside the United States can be completed in one year rather than two, representing a huge saving in both tuition and opportunity costs.Britain has an advantage over other international programs in both ranking and brand value. Better rankings attract better students, who in turn improve the rankings. “The applications we received this year were on average of a much higher quality than last year,” said Gary, the admission director at Cambri dge. “The increase in applications enables us to be more selective. Year to year, we’re looking to increase the quality of the student body, which in turn strengthens competition for the whole program. ”31. Simon Tindall went to Cambridge to study for an MBA program because ________.A. Cambridge offered him a full scholarshipB. he was denied a scholarship by Georgetown UniversityC. there was a lower percentage of foreign students in BritainD. international experience would benefit him in employment32. Compared with students taking U. S. programs, those doing an MBA in Britain have ________.A. a wider variety of nationalitiesB. a small number of nationalitiesC. a hard time selecting a favorite schoolD. a better opportunity getting a full scholarship33. Some Chinese students gave up their choices of studying in the States because ________.A. their visa requests were deniedB. they found it hard to hunt a jobC. they lacked qualifications for the programD. the scholarship couldn’t cover their expenses34. The fifth paragraph tells us that most MBA programs outside the States ________.A. last longerB. are cost-efficientC. lack global attractionD. are hard to complete35. The increase in applications for MBA in Britain is due to ________ of the universities.A. the locationsB. the reputationC. the academic levelsD. the tuitions and facilitiesPart III ClozeDirections: There is a passage in this part with10 blanks in it.

They do all kinds of things that you do not even notice. For example, the simple, ordinary food that everybody must buy, like bread, milk, flour, and vegetable oil, is spread all over the store. You have to walk by all the moreinteresting-and more expensive-things in order to find what you need. The more expensive food is in packages with bright colored pictures. This food is placed at eye level so you see it and want to buy it. The things that you have to buy anyway are usually located on a higher or lower shelf. However, candy and other things that children like are on lower shelves. One study showed that when a supermarket moved four products from floor to eye level, it sold 78 percent more. Another study showed that for every minute a person is in a supermarket after the first half hour, she or he spends $50. If someone stays forty minutes, the supermarket has an additional $5.00. So the store has a comfortable temperature in summer and winter, and it plays soft music. It is a pleasant place for people to stay and spend more money. Some stores have red or pink lights over the meat so the meat looks redder. They put light green paper around lettuce (生菜) and put apples in red plastic bags. So be careful in the supermarket. You may go home with a bag of food you were not planning to buy. The supermarket, not you, decided you should buy it.46．Marketing specialists study______.A．plants suitable for human needsB．how to build shelvesC．method of selling more productsD．how to own supermarkets正确答案：C47．The more expensive kind of food is______.A．in bright-coloured packagesB．on high shelvesC．all near the front of the storeD．on lower shelves正确答案：A48．According to the selecting, children’s books are probably______.A．on low shelvesB．on high shelvesC．spread all over the storeD．sold in supermarket正确答案：A49．A supermarket plays soft music because______.A．people like to listen to itB．the store has a comfortable temperatureC．it will make people spend more moneyD．it will remind people to buy the things they want正确答案：C50．A good way to save money in a supermarket is to______.A．go just before dinnerB．buy things that are in the prettiest packagesC．walk around and see what you needD．make a list of what you need before you go正确答案：DAlthough each baby has an individual schedule of development, general patterns of growth have been observed. Three periods of development have been identified (确定) , including early infancy (幼儿期) , which extends from the first to the sixth month; middle infancy, from the sixth to the ninth month; and late infancy, from the ninth to the fifteenth month. Whereas the newborn is concerned with his or her inner world and reacts primarily to hunger and pain in early infancy, the baby is already aware of the surrounding world. During the second month, many infants are awake more and can raise their heads to look at things. They also begin to smile at people. By four months, the baby is searching for things but not yet grasping them with its hands. It is also beginning to be wary(谨慎的) of strangers and may scream when a visiting relative tries to pick it up. By five months, the baby is grabbing objects and putting them into its mouth. Some babies are trying to feed themselves with their hands. In middle infancy, the baby concentrates on practicing a great many speech sounds. It loves to imitate actions and examine interesting objects. At about seven months, it begins to crawl, a skill that it masters at the end of middle infancy. In late infancy, the baby takes an interest in games, songs, and even books. Progress toward walking moves through standing, balancing, bouncing in place, and walking with others. As soon as the baby walks well alone, it has passed from infancy into the active toddler (蹒跚学步) stage.51．What is the main subject of this reading passage?A．Growth in early infancy.B．The active toddler.C．How a baby learns to walk.D．The developmental stages of infancy.正确答案：D52．When does a baby take an interest in books?A．After nine months.B．At two months.C．After five months.D．In middle infancy.正确答案：A53．What would a six-month-old baby love to do?A．Smile at people.B．Grawl on the floor.C．Imitate actions.D．Play simple games.正确答案：C54．The meaning of the word “grasp” in line 8 of paragraph 1 is______.A．watchB．likeC．holdD．fear正确答案：C55．When does a baby became frightened of unfamiliar people?A．In early infancy.B．In middle infancy.C．In late infancy.D．In the toddler stage.正确答案：AHemingway was born in Illinois, his family took him as a boy on frequent hunting and fishing trips and so acquainted him early with the kinds of virtues (美德) such as courage and endurance, which were later reflected in his fiction (文学作品) . After high school, he worked as a newspaper reporter and then went oversea to take part in World War I. After the war he lived for several years in Paris, where he became part of a group of Americans who felt strange from their country. They considered themselves a lost generation. It was not long before he began to publish the powerful novel “The Sun Also Rises”. His subjects were often war and its effects on people, or contests, such as hunting or bullfighting, which demand stamina and courage. Hemingway’s style of writing is striking. His sentences are short, his words simple, yet they are often filled with emotion. A careful reading can show us, furthermore, that he is a master of the pause. That is, if we look closely, we see how the action of his stories continues during the silences, during the times his characters say nothing. This action is often full of meaning. There are times when the most powerful effect comes from restraint (适度). Such times occur often in Hemingway’s fiction. Heperfected the art of expressing emotion with few words.56．The word “stamina” in the last line of paragraph 1 can most probably be replaced by______.A．moneyB．timeC．energyD．weapon正确答案：C57．Hemingway might have two kinds of special qualities—courage and endurance—because______.A．he trained himself through hard work in his childhoodB．he got some special trainings while growing upC．his parents often took him on hunting and fishing tripsD．he suffered a lot in his childhood正确答案：C58．The topic sentence of paragraph 2 is______.A．Hemingway’s style of writing is strikingB．He is a master of the pauseC．He perfected the art of expressing emotion with few wordsD．Hemingway is a famous writer正确答案：A59．“A lost generation” in the first paragraph is closest in meaning to______.A．a generation full of hopeB．the sad and confused young menC．a big crowd of young menD．a group of people who have lost their way正确答案：B60．Hemingway preferred short and simple sentences in his writings because______.A．he could not arrange long and complicated sentences wellB．he was afraid that his readers would misunderstand him if he wrote long sentencesC．short sentences are easier to writeD．this is his style of writing he is good at正确答案：DTrees have a spectacular (壮丽的；奇观的) survival record. Over a period of more than 400 million years, they have evolved as the tallest, most massive, and longest-lived organisms ever to inhabit the Earth. Yet trees lack a means of defense that almost every animal has: trees cannot move away from destructive forces. Because they cannot move, all types of living and nonliving enemies—fire, storms, microorganisms, insects, other animals and, later, humans—have wounded them throughout their history. Trees have survived because their evolution has made them into highly compartmented (分隔的) organisms: that is, they wall off injured and infected wood. In that respect trees are radically different from animals. Fundamentally, animals heal, they preserve their life by making billions of repair, installing (安置) new cells or rejuvenated (恢复活力的) cells in the positions of old ones. Trees cannot heal; they make no repairs. Instead, they defend themselves from the consequences of injury and infection by walling off the damage. At the same time they put new cells in new positions; in effect, they grow a new tree over the old one every year. The most obvious results of the process are growth rings, which are visible on the cross section of a trunk, a root, or a branch.61．The author’s main purpose in this article is to explain the______.A．life cycle of a treeB．way trees surviveC．importance of trees to human progressD．dangers trees face from natural disasters正确答案：B62．The author describes trees as all of the following EXCEPT______.A．tallB．greenC．massiveD．long-lived正确答案：B63．The author implies that almost every animal is able to protect itself from destructive forces by doing which of the following?A．Moving away.B．Calling for help.C．Climbing up a tree.D．Remaining with its group.正确答案：A64．As it is used in the last sentence of Paragraph 1 , the pronoun “they” refers to______.A．enemiesB．animalsC．humansD．trees正确答案：D65．According to the context of the passage, you can guess the meaning of the verb “evolve” is______.A．(of people or animals) reach the stage of full developmentB．breed (farm animals) ; grow or produce (crops)C．(of plants, animals, etc. ) gradually develop from a simple form to a more complex oneD．(cause somebody /something) to grow gradually正确答案：CSection ADirections: Translate the following English into Chinese.66．We need not wish for what we don’t have, but enjoy what we do possess today.正确答案：我们无需渴求得不到的东西，而应珍惜今天已经拥有的。

That is almost l out of every 3 people in the United States. Some people go on diets. This means they eat less of certain foods, especially fats and sugars. Other people exercise with special equipment, take diet pills, or even have surgery. Losing weight is hard work, and it can also cost a lot of money. So why do so many people in the United States want to lose weight?Many people in the United States worry about not looking young and attractive. For many people, looking good also means being thin. Other people worry about their health. Many doctors say being overweight is not healthy. But are Americans really fat?Almost 30 million Americans weigh at least 20 percent more than their ideal weight. In fact, the United States is the most overweight country in the world. "The stored fat of adult Americans weighs 2.3 trillion pounds," says University of Massachusetts anthropologist(人类学家) George Americans. He says burning off that stored energy would produce enough power for 900,000 cars to go 12,000 miles.Losing weight is hard work, but most people want to find a fast and easy way to take off fat. Bookstores sell lots of diet books. These books tell readers how to lose weight. Each year, dozensof new hooks like these are written. Each one boasts to help people to get rid of fat.11.

One of them was from my school days, when our ninth grade teacher, Miss Raber, would pick out words from Readers Digest to test our vocabulary.Today, more than 45 years later, I always check out "It pays to Enrich Your Word Power" first when the Digest comes each month. I am impressed with that idea, word power. Readers Digest knows the power that words have to move people to entertain, inform and inspire. The Digest editors know that the big word isn't always the best word. Take just one example, a Quotable Quote from the February 1985 issue: "Time is a playful thing. It slips quickly and drinks the day like a bowl of milk. "Seventeen words, only two of them more than one syllable, yet how much they convey ! That's usually how it is with Reader s Digest. The small and simple can be profound.As chairman of a foundation to restore the Statue of Liberty, I've been making a lot of speeches lately. I try to keep them fairly short. I use small but vivid words: words like "hoe" , "guts", "faith" and "dreams". Those are words that move people and say so much about the spirit of America.Don't get me wrong. I'm not against using big words, when it is right to do so, but I have also learned that a small word can work a small miracle-if it's the right word, in the right place, at the right time. It's a"secret" that I hope I will never forget.16. The passage is mainly about ____.A. one of the many old memoriesB. using simple words to express profound ideasC. Readers Digest and school speechesD. how to make effective speeches17. It seems that Reader's Digest is a magazine popular with ____.A. people of all agesB. teenagersC. school teachersD. elderly readers18. The example the author gives in the second paragraph might mean ____.A. one spends his day playing and drinkingB. don't waste your time as one doesC. time slips easily if you don't make good use of itD. time is just like drinking milk from a bowl19. The author's "secret" is ____.A. to avoid using big words at any timeB. to use words that have the power to move peopleC. to work a miracle by using a small wordD. to use small and simple words where possible20. According to the author, well-chosen words can give people ____.A. hope, courage, and ideasB. confidence, determination, and strengthC. pleasure, knowledge, and encouragementD. entertainment, information, and powerPart Ⅱ Vocabulary and Structure(20﹪，25minutes)Directions: There are 40 incomplete sentences in this part.

2004专插本英语真题
2004年广东省普通高等学校本科插班生考试Part I Reading Comprehension (40%)Passage oneWashington Irving was America’s first man of letters to be know internationally. His works were received enthusiastically both in England and in the United States. He was, in fact, one of the most successful writers of his time to either country, delighting a large general public and the same time winning the admiration of fellow writers like Scott in Britain and Poe and Hawthrone in the United States. The respect in which he was party owing to the man himself, with his warm friendliness, his good sense, his politeness, his gay spirits, his artistic integrity, his love of the Old World and the New World. Thackery described Irving as “a gentleman, who, though himself born in no very high sphere, was most finished, polished, witty ; socially the equal of the most refined Europeans”. In England he was granted an honorary degree from Oxford---an unusual honor for a young, uncultured nation---and he received the medal of the Royal Society of Literature; America made him ambassador to Spain. Irving’s background provides little to explain his literary achievements. A gifted but delicate child, he had little schooling. He studied law, but without zeal, and never did practice seriously. He was immune to his strict Presbyterian (长老会教徒的) home environment, frequenting both social gatherings and the theater.1. What is the must proper comment on lrving? .A. His works were very popular in England and the United States.B. He was respected by many fellow writers.C. He gained international fame by his personality and his works.D. He is a gentleman.2. What can we infer from Thcakery’s description about Irving? .A. Irving tried to show elegance in society.B. Irving’s parents were not aristocratic (贵族的)C. Irving’s social grace was as same as most Europeans.D. Irving was inferior to Europeans of refinement.3. Why is it unusual that Irving was granted an honorary degree Oxford? .A. Because his degree was honorary rather than earned.B. Because he was not so successful as his fellow writers.C. Because he was from America, a country with young history and less culture.D. Because Oxford was a famous university in England.4. What is true about Irving background? .A. His background had provided opportunity for his literary and less achievements.B. As a gifted child, he did not receive much education.C. He had interests in working as a lawyer.D. His religious belief helped him a lot.5. The tone of the author can be said to be .A. seriousB. mildC. friendlyD. appreciativePassage T woBionics is a recently developed branch of science, which has tremendous potential for improving the life of mankind in out contemporary society. Bionics can be described as the study of systems in living creatures and the application of the knowledge gained from this study to theimprovement of various kinds of man-made systems. The term bionics was coined around 1960, and much of what is know about the science of bionics has been discovered science since about 1970.Some researchers recently have studied the eyes of the common frogs and have discovered that a frog’s eyes only find moving things such as insect-shaped objects and large, threatening objects. As a result of studying the eyes of frogs, scientists have construct a simple electronic model of a frog’s eyes which can track airplanes circling above an airport and then provide information to computer-run air traffic control systems. Someday such electronic eyes many provide the means to automatically guide automobiles by providing information about objects moving toward the automobile. Other scientists have studied the compound eyes of some insects and have built a seeing machine that is a simple model of the horseshoe crab eye.The hearing of a number of creatures also has been studied extensively so that hearing machines can be developed. Bats have unusual hearing which can extend into the ultrasonic (超声的) range. The dolphin also has been studied extensively, and dolphins are able to navigate through water extremely effectively. Radar and sonar (声纳) systems which are used to help ships and plans navigate have been based on the sonar systems of both bats and dolphins.6. Which of the following could be best title? .A. Electronic EyesB. The Science of BionicsC. Sonar SystemsD. The Hearing of Some Creatures7. What type of eyes are found in the crab? .A. Electronic eyesB. Insect-shaped eyesC. Compound eyesD. Insect and dolphins8. Upon what creatures is the man-made of frogs because .A. Bats and dolphinsB. Frogs and crabsC. Crabs and batsD. Insects and dolphins9. Scientists are interested in the eyes of frogs because .A. frogs’ eyes are large and threateningB. frogs’ eyes are extremely sharpC. frogs have compound eyesD. frogs can only see moving objects10. Which of the following is true according to this passage? .A. Not until about 1960 did the word bionics come into being.B. Bionics is the study of the systems in animals.C. Bionics is the only study of the eyes and ears of some creatures.D. People didn’t know much about the science of bionics until 1960.Passage ThreeDo you find getting up in the morning so difficult that it’s painful? This might be called laziness, but Dr. Kleitman has a new explanation. He has proved that everyone has a daily energy cycle.During the hours when you labor through your may say that you’re “hot”. That’s true. The time of day when you feel most energetic is when your cycle of body temperature is at its peak. For some people the peak comes during the forenoon. For others it comes in the afternoon or evening. No one has discovered why this is so, but it leads to such familiar monologues as：”Get up, John! Y ou’ll be late for work again!” The possible explanation to the trouble is that John is at his temperature-and-energy peak in the evening. Much family quarrelling ends when husbands and wives realize what these energy cycles mean, and which cycle each member of the family has.Y ou can’t change your energy cycle, but you can learn to make fit it better. Habit can help, Dr. Kleitman believes. Maybe you’re sleepy in the evening but feel you must up late anyway. Counteract your cycle to some extent by habitually staying up than you want to. If your energy is low in the morning but you have an important job to do early in the day, rise before your usual hour. This won’t change your cycle, but you’ll get up steam (振作) and work better at your low point.Get off to a slow start which saves your energy. Get up with a leisurely yawn and stretch. Sit on the edge of the bed a minute before putting your feet on the floor. A void the troublesome search for clean clothes by laying them out the night before. Whenever possible, do routine work in the afternoon and save tasks requiring more energy or concentration for your sharper hours.11. If a person finds getting up early a problem, most probably .A. he is “hot”B. he refuses to follow his own energy cycleC. he is not sure when his energy is lowD. he is very energetic in the afternoon or evening12. Which of the following may lead to family quarrels according to the passage? .A. Unawareness of family members’ cycles.B. Familiar monologues.C. A change in a family member’s energy cycle.D. Attempts to control the energy cycle of other family members.13. If one wants to work more efficiently at his low point in the morning, he should .A. change his energy cycleB. overcome his lazinessC. get up earlier usualD. go to bed earlier14. Y ou are advised to get up leisurely because it will .A. help to keep your energy for the day’s workB. help to control your temper early in the dayC. enable you to concentrate on your routine workD. keep your energy cycle under control all day15. Which of the following statements is NOT TRUE?A. It is very difficult for one to change his energy cycleB. Dr. Kleitman explains why people reach their peaks at different hours of day.C. Habit helps a person adapt to his own energy cycle.D. Children have energy cycles, too.Passage FourMany times of an evening I wound stand on the shore and looked out to sea, where a curious phosphorescent (发磷光的) green was changing to a transparent blue. Behind the camp the setting sun, like a flaming ball, painted the mountains purple and gold. The air was like champagne, and as we were in the Gulf Stream the weather was beautifully mild. While violent snowstorms were raging in English, we were enjoying the most perfect flying weather and a day which lasted for nearly twenty-four hours.On leave for four days, Nobel and drove across Scotland to the west coast and took the ferry (渡船) over to Skye. The small stone quay (码头) was spotted with shops; a bus was drawn up by the waterside, a hotel advertisement on its side. I looked at Nobel and he nodded. We had come pre-pared to be disappointed. But we had not driven far before the road gave way to awinding (蜿蜒的) track and the only signs of habitation(居住地) were a few crofters’ (苏格兰小农场佃户的) cotta-ges. It was evening when we drew up outside the Sligachan Inn at the foot of the Coolin Mountains. The innkeeper welcomed us and showed us our rooms.From every window was the same view, gray mountains rising in austere (简朴的) beauty, their peaks hidden in a white mist, and everywhere a great feeling of stillness. The shadows that lengthened across the valley, the streams that coursed down the rocks, the thin mist turning now into night, all a part of that stillness. I shivered; Sky was a would that one would either love or hate. There could be no in-between.“It is very beautiful,” said the landlord.“Y es,” I said, “it’s beautiful.”“But only mountaineers or fools will climb those pecks.”“We’re both fools,” Nobel said shortly.“So be it .Dinner is at eight-thirty.”We stood a while at the window. The night was clear and our heads felt clear and cold as the air. We smelled the odor (气息) of the ground in the spring after rain, and behind us the wood smoke of the pine fire in our room ,and we were content. For these are the odors of nostalgia(乡愁)，spring mist and woo smoke, and never the scent of a woman or of food.We were alone in the inn save for one old man who had returned there to diet. His hair was white, but his face and bearing were still those of a mountaineer, though he must have been a great age. He never spoke, but appeared regularly at meals to take his place at a table tight-pressed against the window, alone with his wine and his memories. We thought him rather fine.16.

It is arranged in 58 a way that the poorest people pay nothing, and the 59 of tax grows greater as the taxpayers’60 grows. In England, for example, the tax on the 61 people goes up as 62 as ninety-five percent!But countries with direct taxation nearly always have 63 taxation too. Many things 64 into the country have to pay taxes or “duties”. 65 , it is the men and women who buy these imported things in the shops who really have to pay the duties, in the 66 of higher prices. In some countries, too, there is a tax on things sold in the shops. If the most necessary things are taxed, a lot of money is collected, but the poor people suffer 67 . If unnecessary things like jewels and fur coats are taxed, 68 money is obtained, but the tax is fairer, as the 69 pay it.Probably this last kind of indirect tax, 70 with a direct tax on incomes which is low for the poor and high for the rich, is the best arrangement.51.

I had this class assignment to monitor our use of energy at home for a week. Our family got an F.Tuesday night my brother watched the same two hour movie on his TV set that we were watching in the living room. Thursday Mom ran an entire dishwashing cycle for 3 cups, 2 plates, a knife and 3 little spoons. That's a lot of electricity and hot water down the drain.Dad drives 28 miles back and forth to work alone. Two men he works with live right nearby, and they could carpool (合伙使用汽车) and save about a thousand gallons of gas a year. And me, I'm guilty too. I went out and left the radio blaring in my room all Saturday morning.So last night at the dinner table we all agreed to do everything we could toconserve energy. Faster showers. Lower thermostats (温度调节器). Fuller care. (51 )It is a fact that this country's using up energy faster than we produce it. I read that we may run out of oil——-forever———in thirty years. So terrible. (52) Unless every person in every house on every block does his part, the f u t u r e looks pretty dim.I'm getting more and more concerned about the future. Because t h at's whereI'm going to be.31.

The 5 questions or unfinished statements arenumbered 36 through 40.Do you want to know something about the history of weather? Don’t look at the sky. Don’t look for old weather reports. Looking at tree rings is more important. Correct weather reports date back only one century, but some trees can provide an exact record of the weather even further back. (53) It is natural that a tree would grow best in a climate with plenty of sunlight and rainfall. It is also expected that little sunlight or rainfall would limit the growth of a tree. The change from a favorable to an unfavorable climate can be determined by reading the pattern of rings in a treetrunk. (54) To find out the weather of ten years ago, count the rings of a tree trunk from the outside to the inside. If the tenth ring is far from the other rings, then it is certain that plenty of sunny and rainy weather occurred. If the rings are close together, then the climate was bad for the tree. Studying tree rings is important not only for the history of weather, but also for the history of man. In a region of New Mexico you can f ind only sand-no trees and no people. However, many centuries ago a large population lived there. They left suddenly. Why? A scientist studied patterns of dead tree rings which had grown there. He decided that the people had to leave because they had cut down all the trees. Trees were necessary to make fires and buildings. So, after the people destroyed the trees, they had to move. In this instance studying tree rings uncovered an exciting fact about the history of man.36. It is understood that in a favorable climateA. tree rings grow close togetherB. tree rings grow far apartC. trees in New Mexico will grow big and tallD. people can cut down most of the trees in New Mexico37. Why did ancient people usually live where there were plenty of trees?A. Trees provided them with shades. .. .B. Trees indicated plenty of sunlight and rainfall.C. Trees were material for burning and building houses.D. Trees provided them with fruit and food.38. The scientists are interested in studying tree rings because they can tell______.A. whether in that area the climate was healthy or notB. whether a particular tree was healthy or notC. whether people took good care of the trees or notD. how old the trees were39. Studying dead tree rings shows ______.A. where the people had to goB. what the people had to eatC. how the people leftD. why people had to leave40. The people had to leave the region of New Mexico because ______A. they had cut down all the treesB. there were many trees thereC. they had no waterD. bad weather stopped the growth of treesTask 3(5 points)Directions: The following is a list of classifications of the pictures in a dictionary.

Laughter really is the best medicine!But if you are unhappy, it cannot do you any good to smile, can it? Not true. Obviously, the positive effects of smiling are just the same whether you feel like smiling or not. Scientists in California asked a group of actors to act five different feelings: happiness, sadness, anger, surprise and fear just using their faces. Changes in their heart rate, blood pressure and temperature were written down. Most of the feelings they acted did not cause changes, but when the actors smiled their heart rate and their blood pressure went down. So even if we feel sad inside, smiling seems to make us feel better.A sense of humor also helps to keep things on their positive side. Interfering friends or a flat tire (ÂÖ̥©Æø) won¡¯t seem so bad if you can see the funny side. So if you find yourself in a stressful situation, try to imagine how it must seem to an outside with a sense of humor and let yourself laugh it off. A scientist writes: ¡°If you try to show a positive reaction and start to laugh, you will actually become happier.¡±51. According to the writer, laughter and smiling_______.A) protect human beings from heart attacksB) are the main cause for man to live longC) can help people to feel relaxedD) help people to keep good relations52.Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage £¿_______.A) A sense of humor is essential for one to gain successB) Stress may be relieved by smiling even if you are actingC) Laughing is the best way to overcome difficultiesD) Sadness can be covered up by laughter and smiles53. The study of the scientist in California is to find out _________.A) the relations between different human feelingsB) the connection between one¡¯s feeling and actingC) whether other animals can laugh and smileD) whether laughter and smile can be good to man¡¯s health54. The scientist discovered that ________.A) laughter and smiles did help the actors to feel relaxedB) most actors acted well according to his instructionsC) the actors¡¯ feelings reflected what they really feltD) different feelings have different effects on the actors55. The writer tends to suggest that we should ________.A) face difficulties with great courageB) find out the positive side of thingsC) overcome our sad feeling with a smileD) learn to have a sense of humorYang Cai is now in his sixth job after graduation. He is a computer programmer in a German company in Nanchang.The job also marks the latest of several moves he has made in the last four years. In that period, he has worked in several cities including Nanchang, Wuhan, and now Nanchang.His first job, also his longest, was for a State-owned enterprise producing communication products and lasted one year. His last job, also his shortest, was in designing web pages and lasted three months. ¡°I am not the most frequent changer of jobs in this industry,¡± Yang said. ¡°Working in IT (information technology) companies, I have become accustomed to welcoming new colleagues today and to seeing them off the next month.¡±¡°I have always been in a turbulent (¶¯µ´µÄ) situation, and no job gives me a feeling of stability,¡±In sharp contrast with Yang, Wendy, a lawyer in the Nanchang branch of a Beijing-based big law firm, dared not ask for a half a day¡¯s leave to go hospital when she was suffering from a serious cold and cough. ¡°The boss warns us to work 24 hours a day and you would be mad to ask for leave for illness¡± said Wendy. So she would work until midnight and give herself medicine she bought to work.¡°It¡¯s not easy to get a suitable position nowadays. The boss can easily replace you with someone from the lines of applicants waiting outside the door for your position.¡± She said.56. Yang is an employee who_______.A) dislikes to be engaged in challenging workB) seems not to feel sure of his positionC) doesn¡¯t get along well with his colleaguesD) has no interest in the information industry57According to Yang¡¯s experience, workers in the IT companies _______.A) shift their jobs frequentlyB) are young and intelligentC) often complete with each otherD) learn more than those in other fields58 The case with Wendy shows that_________.A) her colleagues are satisfied with their jobsB) law is a less popular field than ITC) she has to work hard to keep the jobD) there are many lawyers59 Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage????????_______.A) Young people like to change their jobsB) Sex is an important factor in job hunting.C) Bosses want their workers to remain in the same position.D) Different jobs have different comments on their companies.60. This passage is most probably taken from _________.A) a textbookB) an advertisementC) an instruction bookD) a news reportUnemployment may be one of the biggest problems our people as well as our government are faced with today. According to an official report, in one big city alone, since 1986, nearly 1,000,000 adult workers have lost their jobs because of factory closing and cutbacks either temporarily laid off or permanent forced to retire.Many people, especially the policy makers, believe that forcing adult workers, those who are over 45 to retire is an effective means to relieve the tension of unemployment, for it can provide more job opportunities for the jobless young. But they fail to notice that forcing a person who is still able to work and has a family to support to retire brings serious financial problems as well as emotional and physical ones. They also fail to realize that actually, workers aged 45-60 tend to be more stable, more skillful and more experienced than workers of any other ages, that, to some extent, this age is the prime time for one¡¯s productivity and creativity. To force them to retire is a huge waste of the nation¡¯s best resources. On the contrary, if we turn our attention to the other end of the range of ages, a more effective way might appear. Today only 3% school leavers are allowed to go to college, leaving the majority of the young people under 18 without adequate preparation to join the labor force. If, however, more of them are able to attend college and begin fulltime employment at later age, more job opportunities will be created as the number of years that an average person works fulltime shrinks.Most importantly, we should not be merely satisfied to solve the problem of unemployment, but rather we should improve the quality of the work force at the same time by keeping the skilled adults and employing the well educated young.61. Forcing middle aged persons to retire might cause ________.。

As their children began moving up through the nation's schools, it became clear that a new class Of academic achievers was emerging Their achievements are reflected in the nation's best universities, where mathematics, science and engineering departments have taken on a decidedly Asian character. This special liking for mathematics and science is partly explained by the fact that Asian-American students who began their educations abroad arrived in the US with a solid grounding in mathematics but little or no knowledge of English. Thy are also influenced by the promise of a good job after college, Asians feel they will be judged more objectively. And the return on the investment in education is more immediate in something like engineering than with an arts degree. Most Asian-American students owe their success to the influence of parents who are determined that their children take full advantage of what the American educational system has to offer, An effective measure of parental attention is homework, Asian parents spend more time with their children than American parents do, and it helps, Many researchers also believe there is something in Asian culture that breeds success, such as ideals that stress family values and emphasize education Both explanations for academic success worry Asian-Americans because of fears that they feed a typical racial image. Many can remember when Chinese, Japanese and Filipino immigrants were the victims of social isolation(隔绝). Indeed, it was not until 1952 that laws were laid down giving all Asian immigrants the right to citizenship61、While making tremendous achievements at college, Asian-American students_____A、feel they are mistreated because of limited knowledge of EnglishB、are afraid that their academic successes bear a strong characterC、still worry about unfair treatment in societyD、general feel it a shame to have to depend on their parents62、What are the major factors that determine the success of Asian-Americans?A、A solid foundation in basic mathematics and Asian cultureB、Hard work and intelligenceC、Hard help and a limited knowledge of EnglishD、Asian culture and the American educational system63、Few Asian-American students major in human science mainly because_____A、their English is not good enoughB、they are afraid they might meet with unfair judgment in these areasC、there is a wide difference between Asian and western culturesD、they know little about American culture and society64、why do the two "explanations"(Line1, para . 3)worry Asian-Americans?A、They are afraid they would again be isolated from American society in generalB、People would think that Asian students rely on their parents for successC、Asian Americans would be a threat to other minoritiesD、American academic achievements have taken on too strong an Asian character65、The author's tone in this passage is_______A、sympatheticB、doubtfulC、criticalD、objectivePassage TwoTelevision has now come to nearly every family. It has become a very Important part in people's life. School children in the US watch TV about 25 hours a week. Some people feel that television is good for children because it helps them learn about their country and the world. With the help of programs of education, children do better in school. Other people feel that there are too many programs about love and crime on TV, and that even programs of education don't help children a lot. Children simply watch too much television, so they don't do a lot of other important things for their education, children of three to six learn to speak their language and talk with people. When they are watching TV, they are only listening to the language , and they aren't talking with anyone. When school children watch TV, they read less, Because of this, they don't learn to read or write quickly at school. All children learn by doing, and they need time to play in order to learn about the world. When they watch TV, they play less. They also have less time to do with their parents and friends, and they have less time for sports. Recently, fifteen families in Denver decided to stop watch TV for a month or more. At first it was difficult, but there were soon a lot of good changes the children read , played, and exercised more, and the family became full of joy. But at the end of the month all the families began to watch TV as much as before. Not one family was able to give up television completely.66、Television_________.A、is not important to school childrenB、helps children learn to speakC、has a lot to do with people's lifeD、must have more programs of education67、Some people think that television is good for children because_____A、some programs help them love their parentsB、the news programs are important to themC、it makes them play less than beforeD、they can learn something good from it68、Some people think that television is bad for children because_______A、there are too many TV programs not good for childrenB、its language is difficult to understandC、it is helpful to their thinking and doingD、their eyes work much every day69、In the US, school children watch TV about ______a dayA、two and a half hoursB、four hoursC、twenty-five hoursD、five hours70、Because school children watch too much TV, they_____A、write more quickly than beforeB、don't learn to read or write as quickly at schoolC、read a lotD、read and write much morePassage ThreeIt was a quarter past nine as Marie hurried into the office building where she was going to work. Her bus had inched(蠕动) along through heavy morning traffic, making her a few minutes late for her very first job. She decided to start out half an hour earlier the next day Once inside the lobby, she had to stand at the elevators and wait several minutes before she could get on one going to the sixth floor. When she finally reached the office marked "King Enterprises", she knocked at the door nervously and waited. There was no answer. She tapped on the door again, but still there was no reply. Form inside the next office, she could hear the sound of voices, so she opened the door and went in. Although she was sure it was the same office she had been in two weeks before when she had had the interview with Mr. King, it looked quite different now. In fact, it hardly looked like an office at all. The employees were just standing around chatting and smoking .At the far end of the room, somebody must have just told a joke, she thought, because there was a loud burst of laughter as she came in. For a moment she had thought they were laughing at her. Then one of the men looked at his watch, clapped his hands and said something to the others. Quickly they all went to their desks and, in a matter of seconds, everyone was hard at work. No one paid any attention to Marie. Finally she went up to the man who was sitting at the desk nearest to the door and explained that this was her first day in the office. Hardly looking up from his desk, he told her to have a seat and wait for Mr. King, who would arrive at any moment. Then Marie realized that the day's work in the office began just before Mr. King arrived. Later she found out that he lived in Connecticut and came into Manhattan on the same train every morning, arriving in the office at 9:35, so that his staff knew exactly when to start working.71、Marie felt nervous when she knocked at the door because_______A、it was her first day in a new jobB、she was a little bit late for workC、she was afraid that she had gone to the wrong placeD、there was no answer from inside the office72、Marie could hardly recognize the office she went into as ______A、she had been there only onceB、Mr. King was not in the officeC、Nobody was doing any workD、The office had a new appearance73、The people in the office suddenly started working because______A、they saw a stranger in the officeB、they had finished their morning breakC、no one wanted to talk to MarieD、the boss was about to arrive74、we can infer from the text that the employees of the enterprise______A、would start their work by listening to a jokeB、were cold to new comersC、were always punctual for workD、lacked devoting to the company75、the best title for this text would be ______A、Punctual Like a ClockB、A Cold WelcomeC、An Unpunctual ManagerD、Better Late ThanNever Passage Four Most animals have little connection with animals of a different kind, unless they hunt them for foof. Sometimes, however, two kinds of animals come together in a partnership which is good for both of them. You may have noticed some birds sitting on the backs of sheep. This is not because they want a ride, but because they find easy food in the parasites(寄生虫) on the sheep. The sheep allow the birds to do so because they remove the cause of discomfort. So although they can manage without each other, they do better together. Sometimes an animal has a plant partner. The relationship develops until the two partners cannot manage without each other .this is so in the corals(珊瑚) of the sea. In their skins they have tiny plants which act as "dustmen", taking some of the waste products from the coral and giving in return oxygen which the animal needs to breathe. If the plants are killed, or are even prevented from receiving light so that they cannot live normally, the corals will die76、Some birds like to sit on a sheep because_____A、they can eat its parasitesB、they enjoy traveling with the sheepC、they depend on the sheep for existenceD、they find the position most comfortable77、The underlined word "they" in the last sentence of the first paragraph refers to_____A、birds and parasitesB、birds and sheepC、parasites and sheepD、sheep, birds and parasites 78、we learn from the text that corals depend on plants for______79、what does the second paragraph mainly discuss? A、Some plants depend on each other for food B、Some animals and plants develop their relationship easily C、Some animals and plants depend on each other for existence D、Some animals live better together 80、The underlined part "giving in return oxygen" in the second paragraph means ______A、returning back the coral oxygen to the coralB、giving oxygen to the coral as debtsC、giving oxygen to the coral in exchangeD、producing oxygen for the coralⅤ.Close (20points)It is said that most adult second language learners will be lucky to acquire 5,000 words even after several years of study .(81) comparison a native speaker can usually have 20,000 words. This relatively slow progress has (82) to do with aptitude than with exposure. It has been calculated that a classroom (83) would need 18years of classroom exposure to supply the same amount (84) vocabulary input that occurs in just one year of natural settings. How many words does a learner (85) to know? One figure that (86) often quoted is 2,000. this is around the number of words that most native speakers use in (87) daily conversations. It is also the size of the defining vocabulary used in dictionaries (88) language learners In (89), the most frequent 100words in English make up 50 per cent of most texts. these include grammar-or function-words (90) as "has" ,"to" ,and "did", but not content words like "answer", ""depend and "large".81、A、of B、On C、In D、By82、A、much B、less C、many D、large83、A、learner B、person C、worker D、teacher84、A、about B、in C、of D、as85、A、should B、need C、must D、think86、A、was B、as C、is D、with87、A、whose B、people's C、their D、his88、A、for B、with C、of D、about89、A、language B、words C、fact D、dictionary90、A、that B、same C、use D、suchVI.

2004年江苏省普通高校“专转本”统一考试大学英语第I卷（共100分）Part I Reading Comprehension （共20小题，每小题2分，共40分）Directions: In this part there are four passages. Each passage is followed by four comprehension questions.

Then mark your answer on the Answer Sheet.Passage 1Questions 1 to 5 are based on the following passage:Some years ago the captain of a ship was very interested in medicine. He always took medicine books to sea and liked to talk about different diseases.One day a lazy sailor on his ship pretended to be ill. He lay on his bunk (铺) and groaned as if he were very sick. The captain came to see him and was very pleased to have a patient to look after. He told the man to rest for a few days and made the other sailors do his work. Three days later another sailor pretended that he had something wrong with his chest. Once more the captain looked in his medical books and told “sick” man to have a rest.The other sailors were very angry because they had more work to do. The patients had the best food and laughed at their friends when the captain was not looking. At last the mate (船长副手) decided to cure the “sick” men. He mixed up some soap, soot (烟灰), glue (胶水) and other unpleasant things. Then he obtained permission from the captain to give his medicine to the “sick” men. When they tasted the medicine, they really did feel ill. It was so horrible that one of the patients jumped out of hi bunk, ran up on desk and climbed the highest mast on the ship. He did not want any more medicine.The mate told both of the men that they must take the medicine every half an hour, night and day. This soon cured them. They both said they felt better and wanted to start word again. The captain realized that the men tried to deceive him so he made them work very hard for the rest of the voyage.1. The first sailor pretended to be ill because he wanted to .A. test the captain’s knowledge of medicineB. be free from workC. have the best food on the shipD. play a joke on his friends2.

Passage 2Questions 6 to 10 are based on the following passage:When aluminum was first produced about a hundred and fifty years ago, it was so difficult to separate form the ores in which it was found that its price was higher than that of gold. The price remained high until a new process was discovered for refining the metal with the aid of electricity approximately three quarters of a century later. The new method was so much cheaper that aluminum because practical for many purposes, one of which was making pots and pans.Aluminum is lightweight, rustproof and easily shaped into different forms. By mixing it with other metals, scientists have been able to produce a variety of alloys, some of which have the strength of steel but weigh only one third as much.Today, the uses of aluminum are innumerable. Perhaps its most important use is in transportation. Aluminum is found in the engine of automobiles, in the hulls of boats. It is also used in many parts of airplanes. In fact, the huge “airbus” planes would probably never have been produced if aluminum did not exist. By making vehicles lighter in weight aluminum has greatly reduced the amount of fuel needed to move them, Aluminum is also being used extensively in the building industry in some countries.Since aluminum is such a versatile (多用的) metal, it is fortunate that bauxite (铝土矿), which is one of its chief sources, is also one of the earth’s most plentiful substances. As the source of aluminum is almost inexhaustible, we can expect that more and more uses will be found for this versatile metal.6. The price of aluminum was sharply reduced when people discovered a new refining process with the aid of .A. windB. solar energyC. hydraulic powerD. electricity7. Aluminum is .A. lightweight, rustproof but not easily shaped into different formsB. heavyweight, rustproof and easily shaped into different formsC. lightweight, rustproof and easily shaped into different formsD. lightweight and easily shaped into different forms but it is easy to become rusty8. Which of the following is NOT true?A. Aluminum is widely used in transportation.B. Aluminum is also used in many parts of airplanes.C. Aluminum is being used extensively in the building industry.D. Aluminum is not used in its pure form.9. Aluminum is found on earth mostly in the form of .A. pure metalB. bauxiteC. goldD. liquid10. What is the passage talking about?A. The features of aluminum and its functions.B. The process of aluminum.C. The discovery of aluminum.D. The promising future of aluminum.Passage 3Questions 11 to 15 are based on the following passage:The idea of a special day to honor mothers was first put forward in America in 1907. two years later a woman, Mrs. John Bruce Dodd, in the state of Washington proposed a similar day to honor the head of the family—the father. Her mother died when she was very young, and her father brought her up. She loved her father very much.In response to Mrs. Dodd’s idea that same year—1909, the state governor of Washington proclaimed (宣布) the third Sunday in June Father’s Day. The idea was officially approved by President Woodrow Wilson in 1916. in 1924, President Calvin Coolidge recommended national observance of the occasion “to establish more intimate (亲密) relations between fathers and their children, and to impress upon fathers the full measure of their obligations.” The red or white rose is recognized as the official Father’s Day flower.Father’s Day took longer to establish on a national scale than Mother’s Day, but as the idea grained popularity, tradesmen and manufacturers began to see the commercial possibilities. They encouraged sons and daughters to honor their fathers with small thank-you presents, such as a tie or pair of socks, as well as by sending greeting cards.During the Second World War, American servicemen stationed in Britain began to request Father’s Day greeting cards to send home. This generated a response with British card publishers. Though at first the British public was slow to accept this rather artificial day, it’s now well celebrated in Britain on the third Sunday in June in much the same way as in America.Father’s Day seems to be much less important as occasion than the Mother’s Day. Not many of the children offer their fathers some presents. But the American fathers still think they are much better fated than the fathers of many other countries, who have not even a day for their sake in name only.11. When did Father’s Day officially begin to have national popularity?A. 1907B. 1909C. 1916D. 192412. Who first started the idea of holding the Father’s Day?A. Mrs. John Bruce DoddB. Mrs. John Bruce’s MotherC. The government of Washington.D. Some businessmen.13. What flower will be popular on Father’s Day?A. LilyB. Water LilyC. Red rose or white roseD. Sunflower.14. Which statement is true, a according to this passage?A. It took even longer for Mother’s Day to gain national popularity.B. The businessmen helped to make Father’s Day popular.C. Father’s Day is only celebrated in America.D. Father’s Day is only a trick of the businessmen to make money.15. What was the first reaction of the British publishing towards Father’s Day?A. They thought highly of it and accepted it at once.B. They just accepted it at once without any hesitation.C. They just thought it a joke.D. They thought it was too artificial and took a long time to accept.Passage 4(非英语类学生必做)Questions 16 to 20 are based on the following passage:Culture shock is an occupational disease (职业病) for people who have been suddenly transplanted abroad.Culture shock is caused by the anxiety that results from losing all familiar signs and symbols of social intercourse. Those signs are as following: when to shake hands and what to say when meet people, when and how to give tips, how to make purchases, when to accept and refuse invitations, when to take statements seriously and when not. These signs, which may be words, gestures, facial expressions, or customs, are acquired by all of us in the course of growing up and as much a part of our culture as the language we speak or the beliefs we accept. All of us depend on hundreds of these signs for our peace of mind and day-to-day efficiency, but we do not carry most at the level of conscious awareness.Now when an individual enters a strange culture, all or most of these familiar signs are removed. No matter how broadminded or full of good will you may be a series of supports have been knocked from under you, followed by a feeling of frustration. When suffering from culture shock people first reject the environment which caused discomfort. The ways of the host country are bad because they make us feel bad. When foreigners in a strange land get together in complain about the host country its people, you can be sure that they are suffering from culture shock.16. According to the passage, culture shock is .A. an occupational disease of foreign peopleB. may lead to very serious symptomsC. actually not a diseaseD. incurable17. According to the passage, culture shock result from .A. the sudden change of social atmosphere and customsB. the sudden change of our daily habitsC. the sudden loss of our own signs and symbolsD. the discomfort that we feel when faced with a foreigner18. Which one of the following may not be a symptom of culture shock?A. You don’t know how to express your gratitude.B. You don’t know how to greet other people.C. You suddenly forget what a word means.D. You don’t understand why a foreigner shrugs.19. According to the passage, how would a person who stays abroad most probably react when he is frustrated by the culture shock?A. He is most likely to refuse to absorb the strange environment at first.B. He is really to accept the change and adapt himself to the new environment.C. Although he takes the culture difference for granted, he still doesn’t know how to do with it.D. He may begin to hate the people or things around him.20. The main idea of this passage is that .A. culture shock is an occupational diseaseB. culture shock is caused by the anxiety of living in a strange cultureC. culture shock has peculiar symptomsD. it is very hard to cope with life in a new setting(英语类学生必做)Questions 16 to 20 are based on the following passage:In a family where the roles of men and women are not sharply separated and where many household tasks are shared to a greater or lesser extent, notions of male superiority are hard to maintain. The pattern of sharing in tasks and in decisions makes for equality and this in turn leads to further sharing. In such a home, the growing boy and girl learn to accept equality more easily than did their parents and to prepare more fully for participation in a world characterized by cooperation rather by the “battle of the sexes”.If the process goes too far and man’s role is regarded as less important—and that has happened in some cases—we are as badly off as before, only in reverse.It is time to reassess the role of the man in the American family. We are getting a little tired of “Monism”—but we don’t want to exchange it for a “neo-Popism”. What we need, rather, is the recognition that bringing up children involves a partnership of equals. There are sings that psychiatrists, psychologists, social workers, and specialists on the family are becoming more aware of the part men play and that they have decided that women should not receive all the credit—nor the blame. We have almost given up saying that a woman’s place is in the home. We are beginning, however, to analyze man’s place in the home and to insist that he does have a place on it. Nor is that place irrelevant to the healthy development of the child.The family is a co-operative enterprise for which it is difficult to lay down rules, because each family。

Beginners need to learn the basics of English. Students who have reached anintermediate level benefit from learning general English skills. But what about student who want to learn specialist English for their work or professional life? Most students, who fit into this third group have a clear idea about what they want to learn. A bank clerk, for example, wants to use this specialist vocabulary and technical terms of finance. But for teachers, deciding how to teach specialist English is not always so easy. For a start, the variety is enormous. Every field from airline pilots to secretaries has its own vocabulary and technical terms. Teachers also need to have an up-to-date knowledge of that specialist language, and not many teachers are exposed to working environments outside the classroom. These issues have influenced the way specialist English is taught in schools. This type of course is usually known as English for Specific Purposes, or ESP and there isn't ESP courses for almost every area of professional and working life. In Britain, for example, there are courses which teach English for doctors, lawyers, reporters travel agents and people working in the hotel industry. By far, the most popular ESP courses are for business English.Questions 11 to 14 are based on the passage you have just heard.11. What is the characteristic of learners of special English?12. Who needs ESP courses most?13. What are the most popular ESP courses in Britain?14. What is the speaker mainly talking about?Passage TwoThe first step to stop drug abuse is knowing why people start to use drugs. The reasons people abuse drugs are as different as people are from one to another. But there seems to be one common thread: people seem to take drugs to change the way they feel. They want to feel better or feel happy or to feel nothing. Sometimes, they want to forget or to remember. People often feel better about themselves when they are under the influence of drugs. But the effects don't last long. Drugs don't solve problems. They just postpone them. No matter how far drugs may take you, it's always around trip. After a while, people who miss drugs may feel worse about themselves, and then they may use more drugs. If someone you know is using or abusing drugs, you can help. The most important part you can play is to be there. You can let your friends know that you care. You can listen and try to solve the problem behind your friend's need to use drugs. Two people together can often solve a problem that seems too big for one person alone. Studies of heavy abusers in the United States show that they felt unloved and unwanted. They didn't have close friends to talk to. When you or your friends take the time to care for each other, you're all helping to stop drugs abuse. After all, what is a friend for?Questions 15 to 17 are based on the passage you have just heard.15. Why do some people abuse drugs?16. According to the passage, what is the best way to stop friends from abusing drugs?17. What are the findings of the studies about heavy drug users?Passage ThreeBows and arrows, are one of man's oldest weapons. They gave early man an effective weapon to kill his enemies. The ordinary bow or short bow was used by early all early people. This bow bad limited power and short range. However, man overcame these faults by learning to track his targets at a close range. The long bow was most likely discovered when someone found out that a five-foot piece of wood made a better bow than a three-foot piece. Hundreds of thousands of these bows were made and used for three hundred years. However, not one is known to survive today.We believe that a force of about one hundred pounds was needs to pull the string all the way back on a long bow. For a long time the bow was just a bent stick and string. In fact, more changes have taken place in a bow in the past 25 years than in the last 7 centuries. Today, bow is forceful. It is as exact as a gun. In addition, it requires little strength to draw the string. Modern bows also have precise aiming devices. In indoor contests, perfect scores from 40 yard are common. The invention of the bows itself ranks with discovery of fire and the wheel. It was a great-step-forward for man.Questions 18 to 20 are based on the passage you have just heard.18. Why did man have to track his target at a close range when using a short bow?19. What does the passage tell us about the long bow?20. What do we know about modern bows?Part ⅡVocabulary and Structure(20 minutes)16. He used a lot of examples to make himself clearly ________.A) Known知道B) Accepted 接受C) understood 理解 D) acknowledged承认17.

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 the best choice.Passage OneWhen we say that Cambridge is a university town we do not mean that it is a town with a university in it. A university town is one where there is no clear separation between the university buildings and the rest of the city. They university is not just one part of the town , it is all over the town. The heart of Cambridge has its shops, restaurants, market place and so on, but most of it isuniversity staff and students.The town was there first Cambridge became a center of learning in the thirteenth century. Many students were too poor to afford lodgings. Colleges were opened so that students could live cheaply. This was the beginning of the present day college system.Today there are nearly thirty colleges. Very few students can now live in college for the whole of their course, the numbers are too great . Many of them live in lodgings at first and move into college for their final year. But every student is a member of his college form the beginning. He must eat a number of meals in the college hall each week.Students are not allowed to keep cars in Cambridge, so nearly all of them use bicycles. Don’t try to drive through Cambridge during the five minutes lectures, as you will find crowds of people on bicycles hurrying in all directions. If you are in Cambridge at five minutes to the hour any morning of the them, you’ll know that you are in a university town. Stop in some safe place , and wait.31. Cambridge can be described as university town because______.A. the university buildings fit in well with the rest of the townB. the size of Cambridge is just as big as the townC. the separation line between the university and the town is not obviousD. the university is located in the town32. In the first paragraph ―but most of it is university‖, ―it‖refers to______.A. the rest of the citB. the townC. the heart of CambridgeD. the university33. which of the following can best give the main idea of second paragraph?A. Cambridge has a long historyB. Many students lacked money ,so colleges were set up then .C. The town was built before the university.D. It was cheaper for students to live in college than in lodgings.34. It is possible for the college students to______.A. live in college form the beginningB. keep bosh bikes and cars in collegeC. have all the meals outside the college each weekD. live in college for their final year of the week35. People found it hard to drive through Cambridge at five minutes to the hour in the morning because of_______.A.the large numbers to cars in the streetsB.safety checks for the cars at this timeC.streams of bikes going in all directionsD.the speed limit of the carPassage twoIf you want to stay young sit down and have a good think. This is the research finding of a team of Japanese doctors, who say that most our brains are not getting enough exercises–and as a result ,we are ageing unnecessarily soon.Professor Taiju Matsuzawa wanted to find out why otherwise healthy farmers in northernJapan appeared to be losing their ability to think and reason at a relatively early age ,and how the process of ageing could be slowed down.With a team a colleague at Tokyo National University, he set about measuring brain volumes of a thousand people of different ages and varying occupations.―Computer technology enabled the researchers to obtain precise measurements of the volume of the front and side sections of the brain, which no late to intellect and emotion, and determine the human character.‖The rear section of the and brain, which controls functions like eating and breaking, does not contract with age, and on can continue living without intellectual or emotional facilities.Contraction of front and side parts –as cells die off –was observed in some subjects in their thirties, but it was still not evident in some sixty and seventy –year –olds. Matsuzawa concluded from his tests that there is simple remedy to contraction normally associated with age –using the head.The findings show in general terms that contraction of the brain begins sooner in people in the country that in the towns. Those least at risk, says Matsuzawa, are lawyers, followed by university professors and doctors. White collar workers doing routine work in government offices are, however, as likely to have shrinking brains as the farm workers, bus drivers and shop assistants.Matsuzawa’s findings show that thinking can prevent the brain from shrinking.

Other pipes bring the water down from the storage tank to the kitchens and bathrooms in the building.When the water has been used, it is taken away from the building by drainpipes. These take the waster water to another large pipe under road –the main sewer. The waster then flows along the sewer to the sewage works where it is cleaned. This ―clean‖water is then poured into the sea or into a river, or in some countries, sent back to the waterworks to be again.Electricity is also brought to the house by a main, in this case a cable.

If you hired someone to do house hold work and you were able to control what they did and how they did it, you had a household employee; this is true even if you gave the employee freedom for action. What matters is that you had the right to control the details of how the work was done. For example, you paid Betty Oak to babysit（临时照看孩子）your child and do light homework 4days a weak in your home. Betty followed your specific instructions about household and child care duties. You provided the household equipment and supplies Betty needed to do her work. Betty is your household employee.Household work is done in or around your home. Some examples of workers who do household work are: babysitters, caretakers, cleaning people, drivers, health aides（助手）, housekeepers, private nurses, yard workers.If a worker is your employee, it does not matter whether the work is full or part time or whether you hired the worker through an agency or from a list provided by an agency or association. Also, it does not matter if the wages paid are for work done hourly, daily, weekly, or by the job.Cash wages include wages paid by checks, money orders, etc. Cash wages do not include value of food, lodging, clothing, or other non-cash items you give a household employee.46. A household employee is someone ______.A) to do work at home and outside itB) you ask for advice about houseworkC) who works in an employment officeD) who is in charge of all families in a community47.

For years scientists have asked themselves this question. Does laughter help us to survive in any way? The answer seems to be like this: smiling and laughter help us relax, reducing tension(紧张) and preventing illnesses which are caused by stress. Laughter really is the best medicine!But if you are unhappy, it cannot do you any good to smile, can it? Not true. Obviously, the positive effects of smiling are just the same whether you feel like smiling or not. Scientists in California asked a group of actors to act five different feelings: happiness, sadness, anger, surprise and fear just using their faces. Changes in their heart rate, blood pressure andtemperature were written down. Most of the feelings they acted did not cause changes, but when the actors smiled their heart rate and their blood pressure went down. So even if we feel sad inside, smiling seems to make us feel better.A sense of humor also helps to keep things on their positive side. Interfering friends or a flat tire (轮胎漏气) won’t seem so bad if you can see the funny side. So if you find yourself in a stressful situation, try to imagine how it must seem to an outside with a sense of humor and let yourself laugh it off. A scientist writes: “If you try to show a positive reaction and start to laugh, you will actually become happier.”51. According to the writer, laughter and smiling_______.A) protect human beings from heart attacksB) are the main cause for man to live longC) can help people to feel relaxedD) help people to keep good relations52.Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage ？_______.A) A sense of humor is essential for one to gain successB) Stress may be relieved by smiling even if you are actingC) Laughing is the best way to overcome difficultiesD) Sadness can be covered up by laughter and smiles53. The study of the scientist in California is to find out _________.A) the relations between different human feelingsB) the connection between one’s feeling and actingC) whether other animals can laugh and smileD) whether laughter and smile can be good to man’s health54. The scientist discovered that ________.A) laughter and smiles did help the actors to feel relaxedB) most actors acted well according to his instructionsC) the actors’ feelings reflected what they really feltD) different feelings have different effects on the actors55. The writer tends to suggest that we should ________.A) face difficulties with great courageB) find out the positive side of thingsC) overcome our sad feeling with a smileD) learn to have a sense of humorYang Cai is now in his sixth job after graduation. He is a computer programmer in a German company in Nanchang.The job also marks the latest of several moves he has made in the last four years. In that period, he has worked in several cities including Nanchang, Wuhan, and now Nanchang.His first job, also his longest, was for a State-owned enterprise producing communication products and lasted one year. His last job, also his shortest, was in designing web pages and lasted three months.“I am not the most frequent changer of jobs in this industry,”Yang said. “Working in IT (information technology) companies, I have become accustomed to welcoming new colleagues today and to seeing them off the next month.”“I have always been in a turbulent (动荡的) situation, and no job gives me a feeling of stability,”In sharp contrast with Yang, Wendy, a lawyer in the Nanchang branch of a Beijing-based big law firm, dared not ask for a half a day’s leave to go hospital when she was suffering from a serious cold and cough.“The boss warns us to work 24 hours a day and you would be mad to ask for leave for illness” said Wendy. So she would work until midnight and give herself medicine she bought to work.“It’s not easy to get a suitable position nowadays. The boss can easily replace you with someone from the lines of applicants waiting outside the door for your position.” She said.56. Yang is an employee who_______.A) dislikes to be engaged in challenging workB) seems not to feel sure of his positionC) doesn’t get along well with his colleaguesD) has no interest in the information industry57According to Yang’s experience, workers in the IT companies _______.A) shift their jobs frequentlyB) are young and intelligentC) often complete with each otherD) learn more than those in other fields58 The case with Wendy shows that_________.A) her colleagues are satisfied with their jobsB) law is a less popular field than ITC) she has to work hard to keep the jobD) there are many lawyers59 Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?_______.A) Young people like to change their jobsB) Sex is an important factor in job hunting.C) Bosses want their workers to remain in the same position.D) Different jobs have different comments on their companies.60. This passage is most probably taken from _________.A) a textbookB) an advertisementC) an instruction bookD) a news reportUnemployment may be one of the biggest problems our people as well as our government are faced with today. According to an official report, in one big city alone, since 1986, nearly 1,000,000 adult workers have lost their jobs because of factory closing and cutbacks either temporarily laid off or permanent forced to retire.Many people, especially the policy makers, believe that forcing adult workers, those who are over 45 to retire is an effective means to relieve the tension of unemployment, for it can provide more job opportunities for the jobless young. But they fail to notice that forcing a person who is still able to work and has a family to support to retire brings serious financial problems as well asemotional and physical ones. They also fail to realize that actually, workers aged 45-60 tend to be more stable, more skillful and more experienced than workers of any other ages, that, to some extent, this age is the prime time for one’s productivity and creativity. To force them to retire is a huge waste of the nation’s best resources. On the contrary, if we turn our attention to the other end of the range of ages, a more effective way might appear. Today only 3% school leavers are allowed to go to college, leaving the majority of the young people under 18 without adequate preparation to join the labor force. If, however, more of them are able to attend college and begin fulltime employment at later age, more job opportunities will be created as the number of years that an average person works fulltime shrinks.Most importantly, we should not be merely satisfied to solve the problem of unemployment, but rather we should improve the quality of the work force at the same time by keeping the skilled adults and employing the well educated young.61. Forcing middle aged persons to retire might cause ________.A) the loss of valuable resources B) shortage of the work forceC) elderly people to feel upset D) families to be unstable62. The word “prime” in line 7, para .2. most probably means____.A) first B) early C) major D) spring63. Which of the following suggestions did the writer make? ______.A) Young people should work harder in order to go to college.B) Colleges should be open to more high school leavers.C) The old should be allowed to work as long as they want to.D) Policy makers should create more job opportunities.64. What is the writer’s attitude towards the present situation of employment?__A) Concerned B) Hopeless C) Interested D) Satisfied65. The best TITLE for this passage might be ________.A) Should Workers Be Forced To Retire?B) Why Don’t We Educate the Young?C) How to Solve Unemployment Problem?D) Are the Policy Makers Wise?Part IV Translation (66-70 略)Part V ClozeThe head of my daughter’s school said to me, “She may be up to__71___we’re trying to accomplish.” He was really saying she didn’t have the __72___.

2004年广东省普通高等学校本科插班生考试Part I Reading Comprehension (40%)Passage oneWashington Irving was America’s first man of letters to be know internationally. His works were received enthusiastically both in England and in the United States. He was, in fact, one of the most successful writers of his time to either country, delighting a large general public and the same time winning the admiration of fellow writers like Scott in Britain and Poe and Hawthrone in the United States. The respect in which he was party owing to the man himself, with his warm friendliness, his good sense, his politeness, his gay spirits, his artistic integrity, his love of the Old World and the New World. Thackery described Irving as “a gentleman, who, though himself born in no very high sphere, was most finished, polished, witty ; socially the equal of the most refined Europeans”. In England he was granted an honorary degree from Oxford---an unusual honor for a young, uncultured nation---and he received the medal of the Royal Society of Literature; America made him ambassador to Spain. Irving’s background provides little to explain his literary achievements. A gifted but delicate child, he had little schooling. He studied law, but without zeal, and never did practice seriously. He was immune to his strict Presbyterian (长老会教徒的) home environment, frequenting both social gatherings and the theater.1. What is the must proper comment on lrving? .A. His works were very popular in England and the United States.B. He was respected by many fellow writers.C. He gained international fame by his personality and his works.D. He is a gentleman.2. What can we infer from Thcakery’s description about Irving? .A. Irving tried to show elegance in society.B. Irving’s parents were not aristocratic (贵族的)C. Irving’s social grace was as same as most Europeans.D. Irving was inferior to Europeans of refinement.3. Why is it unusual that Irving was granted an honorary degree Oxford? .A. Because his degree was honorary rather than earned.B. Because he was not so successful as his fellow writers.C. Because he was from America, a country with young history and less culture.D. Because Oxford was a famous university in England.4. What is true about Irving background? .A. His background had provided opportunity for his literary and less achievements.B. As a gifted child, he did not receive much education.C. He had interests in working as a lawyer.D. His religious belief helped him a lot.5. The tone of the author can be said to be .A. seriousB. mildC. friendlyD. appreciativePassage TwoBionics is a recently developed branch of science, which has tremendous potential for improving the life of mankind in out contemporary society. Bionics can be described as the study of systems in living creatures and the application of the knowledge gained from this study to theimprovement of various kinds of man-made systems. The term bionics was coined around 1960, and much of what is know about the science of bionics has been discovered science since about 1970.Some researchers recently have studied the eyes of the common frogs and have discovered that a frog’s eyes only find moving things such as insect-shaped objects and large, threatening objects. As a result of studying the eyes of frogs, scientists have construct a simple electronic model of a frog’s eyes which can track airplanes circling above an airport and then provide information to computer-run air traffic control systems. Someday such electronic eyes many provide the means to automatically guide automobiles by providing information about objects moving toward the automobile. Other scientists have studied the compound eyes of some insects and have built a seeing machine that is a simple model of the horseshoe crab eye.The hearing of a number of creatures also has been studied extensively so that hearing machines can be developed. Bats have unusual hearing which can extend into the ultrasonic (超声的) range. The dolphin also has been studied extensively, and dolphins are able to navigate through water extremely effectively.

This might be called laziness, but Dr. Kleitman has a new explanation. He has proved that everyone has a daily energy cycle.During the hours when you labor through your may say that you’re “hot”. That’s true. The time of day when you feel most energetic is when your cycle of body temperature is at its peak. For some people the peak comes during the forenoon. For others it comes in the afternoon or evening. No one has discovered why this is so, but it leads to such familiar monologues as：”Get up, John! You’ll be late for work again!” The possible explanation to the trouble is that John is at his temperature-and-energy peak in the evening. Much family quarrelling ends when husbands and wives realize what these energy cycles mean, and which cycle each member of the family has.You can’t change your energy cycle, but you can learn to make fit it better. Habit can help, Dr. Kleitman believes. Maybe you’re sleepy in the evening but feel you must up late anyway. Counteract your cycle to some extent by habitually staying up than you want to. If your energy is low in the morning but you have an important job to do early in the day, rise before your usual hour. This won’t change your cycle, but you’ll get up steam (振作) and work better at your low point.Get off to a slow start which saves your energy. Get up with a leisurely yawn and stretch. Sit on the edge of the bed a minute before putting your feet on the floor. Avoid the troublesome search for clean clothes by laying them out the night before. Whenever possible, do routine work in the afternoon and save tasks requiring more energy or concentration for your sharper hours.11.

Attempts to control the energy cycle of other family members.13. If one wants to work more efficiently at his low point in the morning, he should .A. change his energy cycleB. overcome his lazinessC. get up earlier usualD. go to bed earlier14. You are advised to get up leisurely because it will .A. help to keep your energy for the day’s workB. help to control your temper early in the dayC. enable you to concentrate on your routine workD. keep your energy cycle under control all day15.

Behind the camp the setting sun, like a flaming ball, painted the mountains purple and gold. The air was like champagne, and as we were in the Gulf Stream the weather was beautifully mild. While violent snowstorms were raging in English, we were enjoying the most perfect flying weather and a day which lasted for nearly twenty-four hours.On leave for four days, Nobel and drove across Scotland to the west coast and took the ferry (渡船) over to Skye. The small stone quay (码头) was spotted with shops; a bus was drawn up by the waterside, a hotel advertisement on its side. I looked at Nobel and he nodded. We had come pre-pared to be disappointed. But we had not driven far before the road gave way to awinding (蜿蜒的) track and the only signs of habitation(居住地) were a few crofters’ (苏格兰小农场佃户的) cotta-ges. It was evening when we drew up outside the Sligachan Inn at the foot of the Coolin Mountains. The innkeeper welcomed us and showed us our rooms.From every window was the same view, gray mountains rising in austere (简朴的) beauty, their peaks hidden in a white mist, and everywhere a great feeling of stillness. The shadows that lengthened across the valley, the streams that coursed down the rocks, the thin mist turning now into night, all a part of that stillness. I shivered; Sky was a would that one would either love or hate. There could be no in-between.“It is very beautiful,” said the landlord.“Yes,” I said, “it’s beautiful.”“But only mountaineers or fools will climb those pecks.”“We’re both fools,” Nobel said shortly.“So be it .Dinner is at eight-thirty.”We stood a while at the window. The night was clear and our heads felt clear and cold as the air. We smelled the odor (气息) of the ground in the spring after rain, and behind us the wood smoke of the pine fire in our room ,and we were content. For these are the odors of nostalgia(乡愁)，spring mist and woo smoke, and never the scent of a woman or of food.We were alone in the inn save for one old man who had returned there to diet. His hair was white, but his face and bearing were still those of a mountaineer, though he must have been a great age. He never spoke, but appeared regularly at meals to take his place at a table tight-pressed against the window, alone with his wine and his memories. We thought him rather fine.16.

It is arranged in 58 a way that the poorest people pay nothing, and the 59 of tax grows greater as the taxpayers’60 grows. In England, for example, the tax on the 61 people goes up as 62 as ninety-five percent!But countries with direct taxation nearly always have 63 taxation too. Many things 64 into the country have to pay taxes or “duties”. 65 , it is the men and women who buy these imported things in the shops who really have to pay the duties, in the 66 of higher prices. In some countries, too, there is a tax on things sold in the shops. If the most necessary things are taxed, a lot of money is collected, but the poor people suffer 67 . If unnecessary things like jewels and fur coats are taxed, 68 money is obtained, but the tax is fairer, as the 69 pay it.Probably this last kind of indirect tax, 70 with a direct tax on incomes which is low for the poor and high for the rich, is the best arrangement.51.
