Even a skilled writer probably could not 32 all the distinctions that make one face different from another. Yet a very young child –oreven an animal, 33 a pigeon – can learn to recognize faces. We all 34 this ability for granted.We also tell people apart 35 how they behave. When we talk about someone’s per sonality, we mean the manners36 he or she acts, speaks, thinks, and feels that 37 that individual different from others.38 the human face, human personality is very complex. Butdescribing someone’s personality 39 words is somewhat easier than describing his face. If you were asked to describe what a “nice face” lo oked like, you 40 have a difficult time doing so.41 if you were asked to describe a “nice person,” you might begin to think about someone who was kind, 42 , friendly, warm, and so forth.There are many words to describe how a person thinks, feels, and acts. Gordon Allport, 43 U. S. psychologist, found nearly 18,000 English words characterizing differences in people’s behavior.

Reading Comprehension (45 points)Section A (30 points, 2 for each)Directions: There are three passages in this part. Each of the three passages is followed by some questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. You should decide on the best choice and mark the corresponding letter on the ANSWER SHEET with a single line through the center. Questions 46 to 50 are based on the following passage：Television has now come to nearly every family. It has played 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 communicate with their parents and friends, and they have less time for sports.Recently, fifteen families in Denver decided to stop watching 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 endof the month all the families began to watch TV as much as before. Not one family was able to give up television completely.46. 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 it47. 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 day48. Because they watch too much TV, school children _______.A. write more quickly than beforeB. don't learn to read or write quickly at schoolC. play a lotD. read and write much more49. Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the passage?A. People can not live without television.B. Only through television can children learn about the world .C. When children are watching television, they talk with each other.D. When children watch TV, they read and play less.50. What is the writer’s attitude towards television?A. objectiveB. suspiciousC. compromisingD. appreciative Questions 51 to 55 are based on the following passage：This book on open education has two parts. The first part has to do with how the teacher feels about students. The second part has to do with what the teacher does in the classroom.In traditional education, the teacher may feel that students are not very grown up. Usually, teachers are older than students, and teachers feel that students are young and do not know much about the world. The teacher feels that he must tell the students what to do most of the time, and that he must make the students study specific things. In open education, the teacher's feelings are very different. The teacher feels that the students are individuals first, and students second. He expects his students to be responsible for the things they do, just as adults are. A student's ideas and feelings are just as important as the teacher's. The teacher allows his students to decide what they want to do, and does not make them study specific subjects or things. The teacher letsthem decide what to study and how much to study. It's very important for the teacher to show how he feels about the students.The second part of the idea of open education has to do with what the teacher does in the classroom. In the traditional classroom, the students are told what to do. There is a list of things that the students must do to finish the class. There are rules made by the teacher that the students must follow, even if the students see no reason for the rules. In open education, the teacher allows the students to choose what to do. They may study, or talk, or do nothing at all if they want. There are no specific things for the students to do. There are no traditionalrules made by the teacher. The only rules in an open classroom are rules for everyone' s safety. The students are allowed to discover subjects in the open classroom, instead of being made to study them. Open education is a really complex idea.51. What is this passage mainly about?A. The system of traditional education.B. The characteristics of open education.C. A comparison of two kinds of education.D. An emphasis on open education.52.

The author regards open education as _______.A. more reliableB. complexC. modernD. unusualQuestions 56 to 60 are based on the following passage：When 23-year-old Eric graduated from college last year, he didn’t have a job. Not wanting to give up his apartment and move back with his parents, he did what many young Americans are doing: he signed up with a temp (临时的) agency, which places workers on short-term jobs. Temporary workers such as Eric comprise 20 percent of the US workforce. In 1985, 417,000 workers were classified as temporary help. In 2005, there was more than 2.5 million, according to Labor Department data.Using temporary workers allows companies to increase or decrease the number of staff as their workloads change. It also allows companies to avoid the costs involved in hiring and firing long-term employees.Many temp agency owners and career specialists say temping is a good way for recent graduates to get experience. “Short-term jobs let graduates try out different companies to find the best fit,” said Pegi Wheatley, owner of a San Francisco temp agency.But things don’t always work out that way. “When I started temping, I had this idea that a temporary job could turn full-time. It worked for a friend of mine, but that didn’t happen for me,” said Eric, who quickly became bored with his office work. Eric stayed with the temp agency because he could earn US $ 10 an hour doing office work. Other short-term jobs, such as working as a store clerk or in a café, pay about US $ 7.But there are drawbacks for the higher pay. Because in theUS, health insurance is provided through employer, most temps are not entitled to workplace health benefits. Eric ran the risk that an accident or illness would land him in the hospital with no way to pay the bill. Other drawbacks, though less serious, still mean that temping for most graduates is exactly what its name implies ----a temporary choice. Instability, gaps between contracts, lack of vacation time and isolation from other employees are drawbacks, too.56. Eric took a short-term job mainly because _______.A. he didn’t want to give up his apa rtmentB. he liked to try out different companiesC. he wanted to get more experienceD. a short-term job is easier to do57. According to the passage, in the year of 2005, more than _______ workerswere classified as temporary help.A. 2.5 millionB. 12.5 millionC. 4.17 millionD. 25 million58. Which is NOT mentioned as an advantage of temping?A. It gives recent graduates experience.B. It enables employers to adjust their workforce.C. A temporary job will turn full-time.D. Employers can reduce their costs.59. Eric stayed with the temp agency for some time because _______.A. he liked his office workB. he was satisfied with the payC. his employer provided health insuranceD. he hated gaps between contracts60. What does the underlined word “drawbacks” in Paragraph 5 mean?A. BenefitsB. CompromisesC. RisksD. DisadvantagesSection B Short Answer Questions (15 points, 3 for each)Directions: Answer each of the questions in less than 10 words.Questions 61 to 65 are based on the following passage:Shopping for clothes is not the same experience for a man as it is for a woman.A man goes shopping because he needs something. He knows what he wants, and his purpose is to find it and buy it; the price is a second consideration. All men simply walk into a shop and ask for what they want. If the shop has it, the salesman quickly produces it, and the business of trying it on follows at once. And if all goes well, the deal can be and often is completed in less than five minutes, with no chat and to everyone’s satisfaction.Now how does a woman go out buying clothes? Her shopping is not always based on needs. She has never fully made up her mind what she wants, and she is only “having a look a round.” She will try on any number of things. The most im portant in her mind is the idea of finding something that everyone thinks suits her. Most women have an excellent sense of value when they buy clothes. They are always in the lookout for the unexpected bargain. Faced with a roomful of dresses, a woman may easily spend an hour going from one shelf toanother, to and fro, often slowing down her steps, before selecting the dresses she wants to try on. It is a tiring process, but apparently an enjoyable one. Most dress shops provide chairs for the waiting husbands.61. Why does a man go shopping?62. What is a man’s second consideration when he buys something?63. How quickly can the deal be completed for a man?64. What is the most important idea for a woman when she buys something?65. What do most dress shops provide for the waiting husbands?IV. Translation (20 points, 4 for each)Directions: In this part, there are five items which you are required to translate into Chinese. Each item consists of one or two sentences. These sentences are all taken from the reading passages you have just read. You can refer back to the passages so as to identify their meanings in the context.66. 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.67. The teacher feels that the students are individuals first, and students second. Heexpects his students to be responsible for the things they do, just as adults are. 68. In open education, the teacher allows the students to choose what to do. They maystudy, or talk, or do nothing at all if they want.69. Not wanting to give up his apartment and move back with his parents, he did whatmany young Americans are doing: he signed up with a temp agency, which places workers on short-term jobs.70. Eric stayed with the temp agency because he could earn US $ 10 an hour doingoffice work. Other short-term jobs, such as working as a store clerk or in a café, pay about US $ 7.V.

福建省高校专升本统一招生考试英语水平测试样题（1）

福建省⾼校专升本统⼀招⽣考试英语⽔平测试样题（1）Part Ⅱ. Reading ComprehensionDirections: There are 4 passages in this part. Each of the first three passages is followed by some questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A), B), C) and D). You should decide on the best choice. Answer the questions on the fourth passage.Questions 31 to 35 are based on the following passage.People are making more and more demands on the world’s natural resources. If babies born in 1991 live for 80 years, the human population of the world may be anything from twice to three times the present total by 2070. In other words, they will have to share what is left of the earth’s resources with between 10 and 15 billion other people. But hopefully there will be a significant decrease in the growth of population. What if this does not happen? The answer is that by the time before the babies born in 1991 reach the age of 40 they could be sharing resources with as many as 10 billion other people.Limiting the pollution of water and the atmosphere, controlling the output of the chemicals that may be causing global warming the climate change, and eating less meat may go some way to help, but can anyone seriously imagine that these are going to solve the problems of the “baby class”of ’ 91?There is no getting away from the fact that people are responsible for the present state of the world, and only people can solve the problems. The decisions have to be taken by people as members of national and local governments; as leaders and decision-makers in industry; as scientists and technologists; as professional engineers and designers; as religious leaders and as individual citizens.31. Which of the following can be the title for this passage?A. Making More Demands on the Natural Resources.B. Limiting the Pollution of Air and Water.C. Reducing the World Population.D. Saving the Babies of ’91?32. What is meant by “the problems of the ‘baby class’ of ’91”?A. A large number of babies will be born after 1991.B. Babies born in 1991 won’t live a long life.C. The children of 1991 are not given good education.D. The world will be over populated in 40 years.33. This short passage is probably taken from .A. a news reportB. a science fictionC. an article by a medical workerD. a government report34. It is implied in the second paragraph that .A. limiting the pollution is of the great importanceB. not all the people know how to save our planetC. our planet is becoming warmer because of the pollutionD. we should eat less so that more people can be fed35. Which of the following is NOT mentioned in the last paragraph as people responsible for the present state of the world?A. OfficialsB. Industrialists.C. Businessmen.D. Scientists.Questions 36 to 40 are based on the following passage.Accidents are the major cause of death for all young people under 35. They are the fourth most frequent cause of death for all age groups in the U. S. —fourth only to heart disease, cancer and stroke. Each year thousands of Americans lost their lives in accidents, and thousands are permanently crippled.By far the most common types of home accidents are falls. Each year over ten thousand Americans meet death in this way, within the four walls of their home, or in yards around their house. Nine out of ten of the victims are over 65. But people of all ages experience serious injuries as a result of home falls. It is impossible to guess how many injuries result from falls, but they must run into millions.Falls can be a problem for all ages. In the process of growing up, children or teenagers often will fall. Fortunately their bodies are springy, so they may suffer only skinned knees, bumps and bruises. But in an older person, the same fall may cause a broken arm, leg, and hip or other injury that requires hospitalization or medical care. As a person grows older, he may not fall any more often, but the result usually are more serious and may even be fatal.Preschool children are often killed by falls from open windows and porches. Their normal curiosity and the urge to climb lead them to dangerous heights. Therefore, it is a parent’s duty to keep small children away from stairways, open windows and porch railing. Gates, bars, and other means of protection should be used whenever possible.Adults fall because they don’t look where they are going. Running or taking two steps at a time invites falls. In trying to save an extra trip up the stairs by loading his arms with bundles or boxes that keep him from seeing where he is going, an adult may find it safer to make an extra trip.36. The most common type of home accidents is .A. chokingB. fallingC. drowningD. burning37. In this passage the author states that .A. seat belts save livesB. most accidents are avoidableC. heart disease is the greatest killer of AmericansD. the death rate from work-related injuries is increasing38. Most victims of falls are at least 65 years of age because .A. old people fall more often than younger peopleB. bones become stiff and brittle with ageC. elderly people take unnecessary risksD. old people don’t look where they are going as a result of poor eyesight39. Adults are injured in falls as a result of .A. boldness（勇敢）B. dizziness（晕眩）C. carelessnessD. weakness40. From the page we may conclude that .A. as a cause of death in America, accidents rank firstB. the risk of accidents increases with a person’s ageC. the head is injured more than any other part of the bodyD. most people do not realize how serious falls can beQuestions 41 to 45 are based on the following passage.Each year millions of people suffer from the effect of alcohol and drug abuse, getting into illness, crime and death.In the United States alone, 10 to 12 million men and women and their loved ones and families suffer from alcohol. Additional millions abuse alcohol at great cost in health and in lost productivity.In Canada, it is said, “Alcohol increases business—for hospitals, ambulance drivers, doctors, and nurses.”Alcohol abuse and dangerous drugs have swept through Europe. Soviet culture, too, is paying enormous social and economic costs.Developing nations are bothered by drup problems—both ancient and modern. In this part of the world hundreds of millions request doctor to ease their miseries and problems in life.These methods of coping are unhealthy solutions! It is time we understood why and found the way out of today’s greatest social problem surrounding this supposedly advanced 20th century.41. This passage is primarily about .A. the worldwide drug and alcohol abuseB. the greatest social problem in EuropeC. the methods of coping with alcohol abuseD. the enormous cost in health and in lost productivity42. How many people in the United States have suffered form alcohol abuse?A. About 5%~6% of the whole population.B. About one fourth of the population.C. 10 to 12 million people and their families.D. Hundreds of millions.43. Which of the following Statements is NOT true?A. Alcohol and drug abuse is becoming a burning question.B. The author suggests that the public cope with alcohol and drug abuse.C. The alcohol abuse has damaged health.D. Addicting agents come into being to treat the addicts.44. The author strongly implies that the public should .A. reveal the relationship of heavy drinking and illnessB. help drug users to ease their miseriesC. take measures to improve alcohol businessD. seek for proper solutions to drug problems in time45. According to the author, the drug abuse problem in Soviet Union .A. is costing more money than in EuropeB. cannot be solved because it cost too much moneyC. becomes a threat to societyD. is also severeQuestions 46 to 50 are based on the following passage. Complete each of the sentences with less than 10 words.I have been studying optimists（乐观主义者）and pessimists（悲观主义者）for the past 25 years. The defining characteristic of pessimists is that they tend to believe bad events will last a long time, will undermine everything they do, and are their own fault. The optimists, who are confronted with the same hard knocks of this world, think about misfortune in the opposite way. They tend to believe defeat is just a temporary setback, that its causes are confined to this case. The optimists believe defeat is not fault; circumstances, bad luck, or other people brought it about. Such people are not bothered by defeat. Confronted by a bad situation, they perceive it as a challenge and try harder.These two habits about thinking about causes have consequences. Literally hundreds of studies show that pessimists give up more easily and get depressed more often. These experiments also show that optimists do much better in school and at work. They regularly exceed the predictions of aptitude tests. When optimists run for office, they are more apt to be elected than pessimists are. Their health is unusually good. Evidence suggests they may even live longer.Twenty-five years of study has convinced me that if we habitually believe, as does the pessimist, that misfortune is our fault, is enduring, and will undermine everything we do, more of it will happen to us if we believe otherwise. I am also convinced that if we are in the grip of this view, we will even get physically sick more often. Pessimistic prophecies（预⾔）are self-fulfilling.Questions:46. What has the author been doing in the past 25 years?47. What is the striking characteristic of the pessimist?48. What is typical of the optimist?49. The consequence of the pessimist doing is that .50. So, we can come to the conclusion that .PartⅢ Vocabulary and StructureDirections: There are 30 incomplete sentences in this part.

Reading Comprehension (40 points)Directions: There are four passages in this part. Each passage is followed by some questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. You should decide on the best choice and mark the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet with a single line through the centre.Passage 1Questions 36—40 are based on the following passageTo understand how Americans think about things, it is necessary to understand “the point”. Americans mention it often: “Let’s get right to the point,” they will say. “My point is …”“What is the point of all this?”The “point” is the idea of the piece of information that Americans suppose is, or should be, at the center of people’ thinking, writings, and spoken comments. Speakers and writers are supposed to “make their points clear”, meaning that they are supposed to say or write clearly the idea of information they wish to express.People from many other cultures have different ideas about the point. Africans traditionally tell stories that express the thoughts they have in mind, rather than stating the point is. Thus, while an American might say to a friend , “I don’t think that coat goes very well with the rest of your outfit,” a Japanese might say , “Maybe this other coat would look eve n better than the one you have on .”Americans value a person who “gets right to the point.” Japanese are likely to consider such a person insensitive if not rude.The Chinese and Japanese languages are characterized by vagueness(模糊) and ambiguity(歧义).The precision and directness Americans associate with “the point” cannot be achieved ,and lest not with any grace, in Chinese and Japanese. Speakers of those languages thus have to learn a new way of reasoning and expressing their ideas if they are going to communicate satisfactorily with Americans.36. According to the passage, American expect speakers and writers to ______A. be clear about their man ideasB. give as much information as possibleC. express their personal viewsD. be honest about their true feelings37. Which of the following people will tell a story to express what they have in mind?A. AmericansB. AfricansC. JapaneseD. Chinese38. In the sentence “I don’t think that coat goes very well with the rest of your outfit”, the word “outfit” most probably means_____.A. officeB. timeC. speechD. clothes39. According to the passage, the Japanese may consider it unacceptable to be_____.A. indirectB. straightforwardC. poorly-dressedD. curious40. In order to communicate with Americans satisfactorily, speakers of Chinese need to____A. lean the language wellB. change their way of thinkingC. be careful about their choice of wordsD. explain their reasons clearlyPassage 2Questions 36—40 are based on the following passageMany young people tell me they want to be writers. I always encourage such people, but I also explain that there’s big difference between “being a writer” and writing. In most cases these young people are dreaming of wealth and fame, not the long hours lonely at a typewriter. “You’ve got to want write,”I say to them, “not want to be a writer.”The reality is that writing is lonely, private and poor-paying. for every writer kissed by fortune there are thousands more whose longing is never realized. When I left a 20-year career in the U. S. Army to become a freelance writer (自由撰稿者), I had expectation at all. What I did have was a friend who found me my room in a New York apartment building. It didn’t even matter that it was cold and had no bathroom. I immediately bought a used typewriter and felt like a true writer.After a year or so, however, I still hadn’t gotten any breakthrough and began to doubt myself. It was so hard to sell story that I barely made enough to eat .But I knew I wanted to write. I had dreamed about it for years. I wasn’t going to be one of those people who gave up halfway. I would keep putting my dream to the test---even though it meant living with uncertaintyand fear of failure. This is the shadow-land of hope, and anyone with a dream must learn to live there.41. The passage means to ______A. warn young people of the hardships that a writer has to experienceB. advise young people to give up their idea of becoming a professional writerC. show young people it’s unrealistic for a writer to pursue wealth and fameD. encourage young people to pursue a writing career42. What can be concluded from the passage?A. Genuine writers often find their work interesting and rewarding.B.A writer’s success depends on luck rather than on effort.C. Famous writers usually live in poverty and isolationD. The chance for a writer to become successful are small.43. Why did the author begin to doubt himself after the first year of his writing career?A. He wasn’t able to produce a single book.B. He wasn’t able to have a rest fo r a whole year.C. He found his dream would never come true.D. He hadn’t seen a change for the better.44. When the author began writing, he only had_____.A. a second-hand typewriter.B. a friend who helped him find a room to liveC. a cold room without a bathroomD. empty expectations of his future45. “shadow-land” in the last sentence refers to_____.A. the piece of land one often dreams aboutB. the state of uncertainty before one’s final goal is reachedC. the bright future that one is looking forward toD. a world that exists only in one’s imaginationPassage 3Questions 36—40 are based on the following passageMy friend Mike was shaking his head in disbelief. “That young woman who just waited onme ,”he said ,pointing to an employee of the fas t food restaurant where we eating , “had to call someone over to help her count out the change .the cash register(出纳机) showed her I need 99 nets ,but she couldn’t figure out how to count out the coins .”I understood Mike’s concern .What we have done in thi s country ,although unintentionally ,is to create several generations of individuals most of most of whom have no idea how to reason, how to do simple math ,how to do research ,or finally how to be creative .The reason for this is our overuse of information technology :video games, television, digital watches, calculators, and computer. information technology feeds us information without requiring us to think about it and let us perform operations without understanding them.It is time for us to take a hand look at an educational system that only teaches our children how to push buttons. Our kids can’t tell time if the clock has hands .they can use calculators but cannot add, subtract, divide or multiply. Video games have taken the place of active imaginative play .Although most of them are technically literate ,they choose not to read .They are so used to television and movies that they cannot use their imagination to stay interested in a book .It is not enough to recognize the problem. What we need is solution .the one I offer is simple to suggest , but may be impossible to carry out. We must unplug our children .If wedon’t, they will never learn how to solve problems. They will never learn basic reasoning skills and will certainly not develop creativity .Instead of filling classrooms with electronics, let’s to perform computer operations, but to figure and to figure and reason for themselves. They must see how things work and how process leads to results, they must also stretch their imagination.46. What seems to be the problem of the employee of the fast food restaurant?A. She does not know how to count coins.B. She is unable to solve simple math problem.C. She has no small change for the customers.D. She does not know how to operate cash registers47. What is the author’s and his friend Mike’s concern?A. The educational system is now creating people who can’t think for themselves.B. People now rarely do things on their own.C. Computers feed us too much information nowadays.D. The restaurant does not provide good service.48. For children to have imaginative minds, they must_____.A. be born with talentsB. be taught to read the right booksC .be dragged away from machinesD. have a large vocabulary49. What is the most probable meaning of “unplug o ur children” in the last paragraph?A. Give them freedom of enjoying themselves.B. Teach themC. Get them off TV and computer games.D. Turn off all the power in the schools.50. The conclusion of the article is that the authorbelieves_____A. electronics should have no place in classroomsB. information technology helps us to do things we do not understandC. all books benefit children more than anything elseD. information technology is new being overusedPassage4Questions 36—40 are based on the following passageAll of us communicate with one another nonverbally(不使用语言地)，as well as with words. Most of the time we’re not aware that we are doing it. We gesture with elbows or a hand, meet someone else’s eyes and look away, change positions in a c hair. These actions we assume are occasional. However in recent years researchers have discovered that there is a system to them almost as consistent and understandable as language.One important kind of body language is eye behavior. Americans are careful about how and when they meet one another’s eyes. In our normal conversation, each eye contact lasts only about a second before one or both of us look away. When two Americans look searchingly into each other’s eyes, they become more intimate. Therefore, we carefully avoid this, except in suitable situations.Researchers who are engaged in the study of communication through body movement are not prepared to spell out a precise vocabulary of gestures. When an American rubs his nose, it may mean he is disagreeing with someone or refusing something. But there are other possible interpretations(解释)，too. Anther example: when a student in conversation with a professor holds the older man’s eyes a little longer than is usual, it can be sign of respect; it can be a challenge to the professor’s authority; itcan be something else entirely. The researches look for patterns in the situation, not for a separate meaningful gesture.Communications between human beings would be just dull if it were all done with words.51. The main idea of this article is that________A. study of communication through body movement is a new scienceB. body movements are as important as words in communicationC. all of us communicate with one anotherD. eye behavior is the most important part in body language52. What do researchers think of body language?A. Body language can be understood and used by people in communication.B. Body language is more important than spoken language in communication.C. Body language has been discovered in recent years.D. Body language is the study of communication via body movement.53. The word“intimate” in paragraph two probably means______.A. greatB. closeC. goodD. important54. According to the passage, you make an American person feel uncomfortable if you_____.A. meet his eyesB. avoid meeting his eyesC. stare into his eyes for one secondD. look into his eyes for a long time55. The sentence “the researchers look for patterns in the situation, not for a separate meaningful gesture” means______.A. the researchers explain the meaning of a gesture according to the situation in which it is usedB. the researchers believe that one gesture has only one meaningC. the researchers think that one gesture cannot be used in different situationsD. the researchers look for patterns in textbooks to explain the meaning of a gestureV.

The first part has to do with how the teacher feels about students. The second part has to do with what the teacher does in the classroom.In traditional education, the teacher may feel that students are not very grown up. Usually, teachers are older than students, and teachers feel that students are young and do not know much about the world, and that he must make the students study specific things. In open education, the teacher’s feelings are very different. The teacher feels that the students are individuals first, and students second. He expects his students to be responsible for the things they do. Just as adults are. A student’s ideas and feelings are just as important as the teacher’s. The teacher allows his students to decide what they want to do, and does not make them study specific subjects or things. The teacher lets them decide what to study and how much tostudy. It’s very important for the teacher to show how he feels about the students.The second part of the idea of open education has to do with what the teacher does in the classroom. In the traditional classroom, the students are told what to do. There is a list of things that the students must do to finish the class. There are rules made by the teacher that the students must follow, even if the students see no reason for the rules. In open education, the teacher allows the students to choose what to do. They may study, or talk, or do nothing at all if they want. There are no specific things for the students to do. There are no traditional rules made by the teacher. The only rules in an open classroom are rules for everyone’s safety. The students are allowed to discover subjects in the open classroom, instead of being made to study them. Open education is a really complex idea.51. What is this passage mainly about?A. The system of traditional education.B. The characteristics of open education.C. A comparison of two kinds of education.D. An emphasis on open education.52.

Not wanting to give up his apartment and move back with his parents, he did what many young Americans are doing：he signed up with a temp(临时)agency, which places workers on short-term jobs.Temporary workers such as Eric comprise 20 percent of the US workforce．In 1985，417，000 workers were classified as temporary help．In 2005，there was more than 2．5 million，according to Labor Department data．Using temporary workers allows companies to increase or decrease the number of staff as their workloads change．It also allows companies to avoid the costs involved in hiring and firing long-term employees．Many temp agency owners and career specialists say temping is a good way for recent graduates to get experience．“Short-term jobs let graduates try out different companies to find the best fit，”said Pegi Wheatley，owner of a San Francisco temp agency．But things don’t always work out that way．“When I started temping，I had this idea that a temporary job could turn full-time．It worked for a friend of mine，but that didn’t happen for me，”said Eric，who quickly became bored with his office work.. Eric stayed with the temp agency because he could earn US$1 0 an hour doing office work．Other short-term jobs, such as working as a store clerk or in a caf6,pay aboutUs$7：But there are drawbacks for the higher pay．Because in the US，health insurance is Provided through employer，most temps are not entitled to workplace health benefits．Eric ran the risk that an accident or illness would land him in the hospital with no way to pay the bill．Other drawbacks，though less serious，still mean that temping for most graduates is exactly what its name implies---a temporary choice．Instability, gaps between contracts，lack of vacation time and isolation form other employees are drawbacks，too.56．Eric took a short-term job mainly becauseA．he didn’t want to give up his apartment B．he liked to try out different companiesC．he wanted to get more experience D．a short-term job is easier to do57．According to the passage．in the year of 2005，more than were classified as temporary help．A．2．5 million B．12．5 million C．4．17 million D．25 million5 8．Which is Not mentioned as an advantage of temping?A．It gives recent graduates experience．B．It enables employers to adjust their workforce．C．A temporary job will turn fall—time．D．Employers Call reduce their costs．59．Eric stayed with the temp agency for some time becauseA．he liked his office work B．he was satisfied with the pay ．C．his employer provided health insurance D．he hated gaps between contracts60．What does the underlined word“drawbacks "in Paragraph．5 mean?”A．Benefits B．Compromises C. Risks D. Disadvantages46-50:DABDA 51-55:CADBD 56-60:AACBD2010Coffee is one of the most popular drinks throughout the world today. In fact, according to some estimates, over 30% of all adults in the world drink coffee at least once a day on the average.Coffee contains a kind of drug called caffeine. Caffeine is a chemical substance that stimulates the nerves of the body. Drinking coffee tends to make people a little bit more awake---at least for a short time---because of this stimulating effect on the nervous system. A cup of coffee has, on the average, about 3% caffeine in it.One story of the discovery of the coffee plant relates to this effect of caffeine. According to the story, coffee was discovered in East Africa. The story says that coffee was first found by a goat farmer named Kaldi. This was about the year 850.Kaldi was leading his animals through the mountains and the goats were stopping repeatedly to eat the plants near the path. Suddenly, some of the goats started jumping up and down in a very strange way.Kaldi figured out that the goats were acting this way because of the plants they were eating.Kaldi himself tried eating some of the green beans that the goats had been eating. He, too, felt the stimulating effect of the beans.Kaldi wanted to prove what had happened, so he picked some of the beans and took them back to his home village, where he told his story. The green bean got the name “Kaffa” and later “coffee” because the beans were discovered in a place call ed Kaffa in Africa.Then for years, people used to eat a few of the green Kaffa beans when they were in themountains and needed extra energy or stimulation. It was later found that the coffee beans could be picked and then dried until they turned brown, and then they could be stored. If the beans were dried and stored, they could be used at any time.46. Caffeine is a kind of drug that can _________ .A. strengthen one’s heartB. make one’s bones strongC. make one more active or alertD. ease the pain on the body47. According to the passage, one will become_________ if he drinks coffee.A. clear-headedB. strongC. nervousD. intelligent48.Kaldi was a_________ .A. doctorB. shepherdC. druggistD. chemist49. How did the goats react after eating the plants?A. They refused to leave.B. They could not find their way home.C. They started jumping up and down.D. They stopped repeatedly to eat them.50. Why did the green bean get the name “Kaffa”?A. Because Kaldi loved his home village very much.B. Because Kaldi’s goats loved thegreen beans very much.C. Because the beans were discovered in a place so named.D. Because the beans could bepicked and dried.Questions 51 to 55 are based on the following passageIn the United States, about 750,000 persons have suffered AIDS. More than one half of them have died.But doctors say evidence also shows there is no reason for persons to become terrified by the disease. The AIDS virus is spread during sex with an infected partner, or by infected blood. But doctors say their studies show the disease is not spread through normal, close social activities.A study by one research team was printed in the New England Journal of Medicine. The doctors studied one-hundred-one family members who lived with AIDS and lived in crowded conditions. The family members shared many personal goods with the patients. These included toothbrushes, drinking glasses, beds, towels and toilets.Doctors said only one family member---a five-year-old girl---got the AIDS virus. They note, however, that the girl’s mother had the disease. They believe the girl probably was born with the virus. No other family member in the study got the AIDS virus or showed any signs of the disease.The head of the study, Gerald Friedland, said if the disease is not easily spread in crowded homes, it also will not spread easily in factories, offices, schools and other public places. Doctor Friedland said the study also shows there is no reason to punish AIDS patients and to force themto live separately from other persons.American health officials recently warned, however, that some health care workers should take special care. The report noted the AIDS virus is carried in blood and other body fluids. It said health care workers should put protective covers over their eyes and skin during medical operations, dental work, or other times when the patient may bleed.In the United States, most AIDS patients are homosexual people, people taking drugs, people who used infected needles, and persons who received infected blood. More recent studies show the AIDS virus also can be spread during heterosexual(异性的)relations. It can spread either from the man to the woman, or from the woman to the man.51. Doctors say there is no reason for people to be frightened about AIDS because_________ .A. it is not deadlyB. few people are infected with AIDSC. the AIDS virus is not spread in everyday social activitiesD. the AIDS virus is notspread during sex52. The study of 101 family members who lived with AIDS patients shows that _____.A. the AIDS is not spread by personal goodsB. women are more likely to get the AIDSvirus than menC. married people are less likely to get AIDS than unmarried onesD. the AIDS virus ispassed by drinking glasses53. From the last sentence of Para 5, we can learn that we have no reason to _________ .A. stop meeting AIDS patients in public placesB. stop living with AIDS patientsC. fear that AIDS can be passed from a mother to a babyD. fear that the AIDS virus canbe passed during sex54. Health workers were warned to take special care when the patient bleeds because _________ .A. AIDS can be passed by touching the patient’s bodyB. AIDS can be spread bytouching the patient’s skinC. AIDS virus can be carried in blood or other body fluidsD. AIDS virus is easilyspread in eyes and skin55. _________ are least likely to be infected with the AIDS disease.A. People who take drugsB. Persons who receive infected bloodC. People who are homosexualD. Unmarried people who don’t take drugs Questions 56 to 60 are based on the following passageDo parents owe their children anything? Yes, they owe them a great deal.One of their chief duties is to give their children a sense of personal worth, for self-esteem isthe basis of a good mental health. A youngster who is often made to feel stupid, often compared to brighter brothers, sisters, or cousins, will not feel confident and become so afraid of failing, that he (or she) won't try at all. Of course, they should be corrected when they do wrong; this is the way children learn. But the criticisms should be balanced with praises.Parents owe their children firm guidance and consistent discipline. It is frightening for a youngster to feel that he is in charge of himself; it's like being in a car without brakes. The parent who says “No” when other parents say “Yes” sends a double message. He is also saying: “I love you, and I am ready to risk your anger, because I don't want you to get into trouble.”Parents owe their children a comfortable feeling about their body, and enough information about sex to balance the wrong information that they will surely receive from their friends.Parents owe their children privacy and respect for their personal things. This means not borrowing things without being permitted, not reading diaries and mail, not looking through pockets. If a mother feels that she must read her daughter's diary to know what is going on, the communication between them must be pretty bad.Parents owe their children a set of solid values around which to build their lives. This means teaching them to respect the rights and opinions of others: it means respecting elders, teachers, and the law. The best way to teach such values is by example. A child who is lied to will lie. A child who sees his parents steal tools from the factory or towels from a hotel will think that it is all right to steal. A youngster who sees no laughter and no love in the home will have a difficult time laughing and loving.No child asks to be born. If you bring a life into the world, you owe the child something. And if you give him his due, he'll have something of value to pass along to your grandchildren.56.

The night will also be a lot easier for you if you prepare dishes that can be laid out at the centre of the table, allowing guests to serve themselves.You can provide some music and the type of music will depend on the type of guests. You might not think of it, but the night will run a lot smoother with background music for the evening.46. What can be inferred from the first two paragraphs ?A.

How to enjoy yourself at a party.Questions 51 to 55 are based on the following passage："Family" is of course an elastic(弹性的) word. But when British people say that their society is based on family life, they are thinking of "family" in its narrow, peculiarly European sense of mother,father,and children living together alone in their own house as an economic and social unit.Thus,every British marriage indicates the beginning of a new and independent family—hence the tremendous importance of marriage in British life.For both the man and the woman,marriage means leaving one's parents and starting one's own life.The man's first duty will then be to his wife,and the wife's to her husband.He will be entirely responsible for her financial support,and she for the running of the new home.Their children will be their common responsibility and theirs alone.Neither the wife's parents nor the husband's,nor their brothers or sisters,aunts or uncles,have any right to interfere with them—they are their own masters.Readers of novels like Jane Austin's Pride and Prejudice will know that in former times marriage among wealthy families were arranged by the girl's parents,that is,it was the parents' duty to find a suitable husband for their daughter,preferably a rich one,and by skillful encouragement—lead him eventually to ask their permission to marry her.Until that time,the girl was protected and maintained in the parents' home and the financial relief(减轻) of getting rid of her could be seen in their giving the newly married pair a sum of money called a dowry(嫁妆).It is very different today.Most girls of today get a job when they leave school and become financially independent before their marriage.This has had two results.A girl chooses her own husband, and she gets no dowry.51.What does the author mean by "Family is of course an elastic word"?A.Different families have different ways of life.B.Different times produce different families.C.Different nations have different families.D.Different definitions could be given to the word.52.For an English family,the husband's duty is ______.A.financial while the wife's is running the homeB.defending the family which the wife's is running the homeC.supporting the family while the wife's is financialD.independent while the wife's is dependent53.Everything is decided in a British family ______.A. by the coupleB. with the help of their parentsC.by brothers and sistersD.with the help of aunts and uncles54. What is true concerning the book “Pride and Prejudice”?A. It is the best book on marriage.B. It is a handbook of marriage.C. It gives quite some idea of English social life in the past.D. It provides a lot of information of former-time wealthy families.55.With regard to marriage in Britain, present-day girls differ from former time girls in ____.A. the right to get marriedB. more parental supportC.finding a jobD. social positionQuestions 56 to 60 are based on the following passage：Praise is a powerful tool but many parents have misconceptions about what it does and how it works.Praise encourages motivation and confidence, but a surprising number of people think it's the cause of jealousy, laziness and resentment. What are the most common assumptions about praise?“There's no need to say anything.”If things are going well, you may think there's no need to say anything. This attitude can be summed u p as “if I don't say anything, then everything's OK”. What this really means is “I'll only say something when there is something to criticize”.“If I say 'well done', they'll stop trying.”Do you think that if you compliment your children they'll slack off? If we are praised for a job well done,it generally encourages us to do better, not worse. The disappointment we feel when good work is not recognized gives rise to the feeling “why should I bother if nobody notices?”“If I praise one, the others will be jealous.”If you are honest and fair in your praise and recognize the special talents of each child, they won't resent praise given to their siblings. Each will feel valued for the unique individuals they are. Children who feel good about themselves are usually generous in their praise of other people. Never use praise of one as a way of implicitly criticizing another. For example, “you'realways so cheerful...”with its implied message “... unlike your moody brother”.“What if there's nothing to praise?”There is always something to praise. You have to catch your child doing something right. Have a positive attitude to the things he does and remember the praise must always be genuine. Your child will quickly sense when you are lying.56. Many parents have misunderstandings aboutA. how powerful praise isB. what praise isC. what praise does and how it worksD. how to give genuine praises to their children57. Why do some parents consider it unnecessary to say anything to praise their children?A. Because they think things aren’t always going well.B. Because they don’t like to praise their children.C. Because they only think it necessary to say something when there is something to criticize.D. Because they don’t like to criticize their children.58. When you are praising one kid, you shouldA. praise other kids tooB. explain the kid’s special talentsC. tell others to be generous and not to be jealousD. make sure you don’t hurt another kid indirectly59. Children who ________ are usually generous in their praise of other people.A. feel good about themselvesB. feel bad about themselvesC. seldom receive praisesD. receive false praises60. Which of the following may be the best title for this passage?A. How to Be Good ParentsB. Misunderstandings About PraiseC. The Power of the PraiseD. All Kids Love Praises46-50:DCABC 51-55:BCACD 56-60:CCDAB。

The first part has to do with how the teacher feels about students. The second part has to do with what the teacher does in the classroom.In traditional education, the teacher may feel that students are not very grown up. Usually, teachers are older than students, and teachers feel that students are young and do not know much about the world, and that he must make the students study specific things. In open education, the teacher’s feelings are very different. The teacher feels that the students are individuals first, and students second. He expects his students to be responsible for the things they do. Just as adults are. A student’s ideas and feelings are just as important as the teacher’s. The teacher allows his students to decide what they want to do, and does not make them study specific subjects or things. The teacher lets them decide what to study and how much to study. It’s very important for the teacher to show how he feels about the students.The second part of the idea of open education has to do with what the teacher does in the classroom. In the traditional classroom, the students are told what to do. There is a list of things that the students must do to finish the class. There are rules made by the teacher that the students must follow, even if the students see no reason for the rules. In open education, the teacher allows the students to choose what to do. They may study, or talk, or do nothing at all if they want. There are no specific things for the students to do. There are no traditional rules made by the teacher. The only rules in an open classroom are rules for everyone’s safety. The students are allowed to discover subjects in the open classroom, instead of being made to study them. Open education is a really complex idea.51. What is this passage mainly about?A. The system of traditional education.B. The characteristics of open education.C. A comparison of two kinds of education.D. An emphasis on open education.52. According to the passage students in open educationA. have more freedomB. are restricted by regulationsC. study harderD. have better results in what they study53. What the author discusses in this passage concernsA. the teaching procedureB. the students' activitiesC. what the teacher does in the classroomD the attitude the teacher holds towards students and his classroom activites54. When a school has “A Child Is Most Important ” as its slogan(口号), this school most probably adopts the idea ofA. traditional educationB. open educationC. adult educationD. open university55．The author regards open education asA．more reliable B．complex C．modern D．unusualQuestions 56 to 60 are based on the following passage：When 23-year-old Eric graduated from college last year，he didn’t have a job. Not wanting to give up his apartment and move back with his parents, he did what many young Americans are doing：he signed up with a temp(临时)agency, which places workers on short-term jobs.Temporary workers such as Eric comprise 20 percent of the US workforce．In 1985，417，000 workers were classified as temporary help．In 2005，there was more than 2．5 million，according to Labor Department data．Using temporary workers allows companies to increase or decrease the number of staff as their workloads change．It also allows companies to avoid the costs involved in hiring and firing long-term employees．Many temp agency owners and career specialists say temping is a good way for recent graduates to get experience．“Short-term jobs let graduates try out different companies to find the best fit，”said Pegi Wheatley，owner of a San Francisco temp agency．But things don’t always work out that way．“When I started temping，I had this idea that a temporary job could turn full-time．It worked for a friend of mine，but that didn’t happen for me，”said Eric，who quickly became bored with his office work.. Eric stayed with the temp agency because he could earn US$1 0 an hour doing office work．Other short-term jobs, such as working as a store clerk or in a caf6,pay aboutUs$7：But there are drawbacks for the higher pay．Because in the US，health insurance is Provided through employer，most temps are not entitled to workplace health benefits．Eric ran the risk that an accident or illness would land him in the hospital with no way to pay the bill．Other drawbacks，though less serious，still mean that temping for most graduates is exactly what its name implies---a temporary choice．Instability, gaps between contracts，lack of vacation time and isolation form other employees are drawbacks，too. 56．Eric took a short-term job mainly becauseA．he didn’t want to give up his apartment B．he liked to try out different companiesC．he wanted to get more experience D．a short-term job is easier to do57．According to the passage．in the year of 2005，more than were classified as temporary help．A．2．5 million B．12．5 million C．4．17 million D．25 million5 8．Which is Not mentioned as an advantage of temping?A．It gives recent graduates experience．B．It enables employers to adjust their workforce．C．A temporary job will turn fall—time．D．Employers Call reduce their costs．59．Eric stayed with the temp agency for some time becauseA．he liked his office work B．he was satisfied with the pay ．C．his employer provided health insurance D．he hated gaps between contracts60．What does the underlined word“drawbacks "in Paragraph．5 mean?”A．Benefits B．Compromises C. Risks D. DisadvantagesSection B Short Answer Questions (15 points, 3 for each)Directions: Answer each of the questions in less than 10 words.Questions 61 to 65 are based on the following passage:Shopping for clothes is not the same experience for a man as it is for a woman. A man goes shopping because he needs something. He knows what he wants, and his purpose is to find it and buy it; the price is a second consideration. All men simply walk into a shop and ask for what they want. If the shop has it, the salesman quickly produces it, and thebusiness of trying it on follows at once. And if all goes well, the deal can be and often is completed in less than five minutes, with no chat and to everyone's satisfaction.Now how does a woman go out buying clothes? Her shopping is not always based on needs. She has never fully made up her mind what she wants, and she is only "having a look around." She will try on any number of things. The most important in her mind is the idea of finding something that everyone thinks suits her. Most women have an excellent sense of value when they buy clothes. They are always in the lookout for the unexpected bargain. Faced with a roomful of dresses, a woman may easily spend an hour going from one shelf to another, to and fro, often slowing down her steps, before selecting the dresses she wants to Try on. It is a tiring process, but apparently an enjoyable one. Most dress shops provide chairs for the waiting husbands.61. Why does a man go shopping?62. What is a man's second consideration when he buys something?63. How quickly can the deal be completed for a man?64. What is the most important idea for a woman when she buys something?65. What do most dress shops provide for the waiting husbands?IV. Translation (20 points, 4 for each)Directions: In this part, there are five items which you are required to translate into Chinese. Each item consists of one or two sentences. These sentences are all taken from the reading passages you have just read. You can refer back to the passages so as to identify their meanings in the context.66. The children read, played, and exercised more, and the family became full of joy. But at the end of the month all thefamilies began to watch TV as much as before.67. The teacher feels that the students are individuals first, and students second. He expects his students to be responsiblefor the things they do, just as adults are.68. In open education, the teacher allows the students to choose what to do. They may study, or talk, or do nothing at all ifthey want.69. Not wanting to give up his apartment and move back with his parents, he did what many young Americans are doing:he signed up with a temp agency, which places workers on short-term jobs.70. Eric stayed with the temp agency because he could earn US $ 10 an hour doing office work. Other short-term jobs, such asworking as a store clerk or in a cafe, pay about US $ 7.V. Writing (25 points)Directions: For this part you are to write a composition in no less than 120 words and you are required to base your composition entitled Nature or Nurture on the outlines given below in Chinese.（根据下面的三点中文提示，写一篇不少于120个英文的单词的短文）Nature or Nurture有些人认为先天更重要，因为……1.有些人认为后天培养更重要，因为……2.我的观点及理由……。
