2009年江苏省专转本考试英语试卷及答案1
江苏省2009年普通高校专转本统一考试英语试卷（非英语专业）第I卷 (共100分)Part I Reading Comprehension (共20小题，每小题2分，共40分) Passage OneYoung Koreans are beginning to do it alone when it comes to finding a partner, though matchmaking is still the most common way for boys to meet girls.Professional matchmakers can make thousands of American dollars by introducing suitable marriage partners to each other, but partners also play a role in the process during which young Koreans meet.In Confucius Korea, where marriage is regarded as more of a business contract than a sacred thing, the scene of the first meeting is repeated hundreds of times a day in coffee shops in the main hotels around Seoul. The business of continuing the family lineage （血统）and keeping the blooding pure is often too important to be left to romance and chance encounters.Often, the girl will work out a system of secret signals with her mother, from which her parents can tell if she is interested.For example, if the girl orders a coffee it might mean that she wants her parents to leave her alone with the boy, while a milk shows that she wants them to stay.Sometimes the matchmaking is not always so formal, with theintroduction being made by friends.But whether through friends or families, there is hardly a Korean man in the country who has not gone through this process --- sometimes six or seven times.B1. The word “matchmaking” in the passage means __C____.A. a very formal ritual（仪式）attended by boys and girlsB. introducing boys and girls to know each other for the purpose of marriageC. producing matches to make a fire or light a cigaretteD. arranging games between men and womenD2. The fact that the first meeting is repeated again and again in coffee shops in the main hotels suggests that ___C___.A. Koreans like drinking coffee in coffee shops very muchB. men and women want to meet as many times as possibleC. they are busy with communicating with different peopleD. marriage is seen as a business contract instead of something sacred B3. Why does the matching still exist in Korea?AA. Because most people want to keep the bloodlines pure and chance encounters romantic.B. Because most people try to avoid romance and keep the bloodlines pure.C. Because most people regard marriage as continuing family lineage and romance.D. Because most people try to break family lineage and bloodlines.A4. Which of the following is true according to the passage?CA. Almost every man or woman in Korea has to go through the matchmaking.B. From the signal the boy’s parents know whether their son is interested in the girl or not.C. At present young Koreans no longer need matchmaking to help them find partners.D. Only a girl and a boy will appear in the first arranged meeting. A5. The passage is mainly about A______.A. the practice of matchmaking in KoreaB. the importance of a business contractC. the work of professional matchmakersD. the first meeting between men and womenPassage twoIn the university Jim was a fast-tracker. He made good grades with little effort, and his classmates thought of him “most likely to succeed”. After graduation, he joined a large company and at first did well. However, he switched to several smaller companies where the same pattern developed time and again: well-liked, regarded as a fast-tracker. People wonder why he isn’t doing better.Then there was Tom who was always regarded as “average”. However, he set his goals high, then found a way to achieve his goal. Today he owns a million-dollar company.Researchers have found that school performance is little related tojob performance. Qualities like “steady and dependable”and “practical and organized” are more important.“You don’t need talent to succeed”, insist some experts. “All you need is a big pot of glue (胶水). You put some on your chair, you sit down, and you stick to every project until you’ve done the best you can do.” Average achievers stay glued to their chairs and postpone pleasure so they can receive future benefits. Many fast-trackers, on the other hand, expect too much too soon. When rewards don’t materialize instantly, they may become disappointed and unhappy.D6. A fast-tracker in this passage refers to a person who __C____A. feels happy with everythingB. makes others disappointed and unhappyC. is an excellent studentD. learns new things quicklyC7. According to the passage, which of the following is true about a fast-tracker?CA. He is very talented in his work.B. He is not likely to get rich.C. He may not stick to his work.D. He is dependable and practical. B8. The word “materialize” in the last paragraph means “_C_____”.A. matterB. appearC. matchD. attractD9. It is implied in the passage that ___D___.A. one has no pleasure until he succeedsB. glue can help one focus on one’s work.C. success has nothing to do with special talentD. success is closely related to patience and steadinessD10. A proper title for the passage can be _C_____.A. The magic of GlueB. The Way to SuccessC. Why Talented People Often Succeed QuicklyD. How average Achievers Do Better than OthersPassage ThreeFrom good reading we can derive pleasure, companionship, experience, and instruction. A good book may absorb our attention so completely that for the time being we forget our surroundings and even our identity. Reading good books is one of the greatest pleasures in life. It increases our contentment when we are cheerful, and lessens our troubles when we are sad. Whatever may be our main purpose in reading, our contact with good books should never fail to give us enjoyment and satisfaction.With a good book in hand we need never be lonely. Whether the characters portrayed are taken from real life or are purely imaginary, they may become our companions and friends. In the pages of books we can walk with the wise and the good of all lands and all times. The people we meet in books may delight us either because they resemble human friends whom we hold dear or because they represent unfamiliar types whom we are glad to welcome as new acquaintances. Our human friends sometimes may bore us, but friends we make in books need never weary us with their company. By turning the pages we can dismiss them without any fear ofhurting their feelings. When human friends desert us, good books are always ready to give us friendship, sympathy and encouragement.One of the most valuable gifts bestowed by books is experience. Few of us travel far from home or have a wide range of experiences, but all of us can lead varied lives through the pages of books. Whether we wish to escape from the seemingly dull realities of everyday life or whether we long to visit some far-off place, a book will help us when nothing else can. To travel by book we need no bank account to pay for our way, no airship or ocean liner or streamlined train to transport us, no passport to enter the land of our heart’s desire. Through books we may get the thrill of hazardous adventure without danger. We can climb lofty mountains or cross the scorching sands of the desert, all without hardship. Indeed, through books the whole world is ours for the asking. The possibilities of our literary experiences are almost unlimited. The beauties of nature, the enjoyment of music, the treasures of art, the triumphs of architecture, the marvels of engineering, are all open to the wonder and enjoyment of those who read.D11. The main idea in the first paragraph is _B_____.A. pleasure can only be derived from reading good booksB. a good book may distract our attentionC. people can read good books in different waysD. enjoyment and satisfaction can be derived from reading good booksB12. The main reason that people like their acquaintances in books is__C____.A. they are like human friends exactlyB. they never bore us in comparison with our human friendsC. they never hurt our feelingsD. they give human beings friendship, sympathy and encouragementB13. We forget our surroundings and even our identity because _B_____.A. the reading environment is very goodB. the book is extremely interesting and attractiveC. we are alone and no one interrupts usD. we are asked to return the book the second dayC14. Which of the following is NOT true?CA. All of us can lead varied lives through the pages of books.B. We can travel by book free of charge to our heart’s content.C. We should rely on reading to escape from the seemingly dull realities of everyday life.D. Valuable experiences can be obtained from reading good books.A15. “The whole world is ours for the asking” implies that __C____A. the world is more accessible in books than in realityB. the world is easy to travel around as long as we walkC. the world belongs to us whenever we askD. round-world trips can be made by everyonePassage FourIncreasingly over the past ten years, people --- especially youngpeople --- have become aware of the need to change their eating habits, because much of the food they eat, particularly processed foods, is not good for health. Consequently, there has been a growing interest in natural foods: foods which do not contain chemical additives and which have not been affected by chemical fertilizers widely used in farming today.Natural foods, for example, include vegetables, fruit and grain which have been grown in soil that is rich in organic matter. In simple terms, this means that the soil has been nourished by unused vegetable matter, which provides it with essential vitamins and minerals. This in itself is a natural process compared with the use of chemicals and fertilizers, the main purpose of which is to increase the amount --- but not the quality --- of foods grown in commercial farming areas.Natural foods also include animals which have been allowed to feed and move freely in healthy pastures. Compare this with what happens in the mass production of poultry: there are battery farms, for example, where thousands of chickens live crowded together in one building and are fed on food which is little better than rubbish. Chickens kept in this way are not only tasteless as food; they also produce eggs which lack important vitamins.It is significant that nowadays fiber is considered to be an important part of a healthy diet. In white bread, for example, the fiber has been removed. But it is present in unrefined flour and of course in vegetables.It is interesting to note that in countries where the national diet contains large quantities of unrefined flour and vegetables, certain diseases are comparatively rare. Hence the emphasis placed on the eating of whole meal bread and more vegetables by modern experts on “healthy eating”.16. People have become more interested in natural foods because ______.A. they like changing their diet from time to timeB. they want to eat food that is more deliciousC. much of the food they eat is no longer considered to be healthyD. they want to be fashionable17. Soil that is rich in organic matter ______.A. has nothing nutritious added to itB. is essential for producing fruit and vegetablesC. contains unused vegetable matterD. has had chemicals and fertilizers added to it18. According to the author, the use of chemicals and fertilizers ______.A. will not necessarily increase the production of foodsB. is a good way to improve the quality of foodsC. promotes the foods both in quality and in quantityD. is no good for health19. Chickens can be called “natural foods” only when ______.A. they are deliciousB. they are fed on food little better than rubbishC. they lay eggs rich in vitamins every dayD. they are allowed to move about and eat freely20. Which of the following is considered good for healthy eating?A. Unrefined flour and vegetables.B. White bread and honey.C. Canned beans and fruits.D. Mass-produced chickens and eggs Part II Vocabulary and Structure (共40小题，每小题1分，共40分)21. Keep two extra pencils ______ while taking the examination.A. at easeB. at lengthC. at handD. in turn22.

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. According to the passage students in open education _______.A. have more freedomB. are restricted by regulationsC. study harderD. have better results in what they study53. What the author discusses in this passage concerns _______.A. the teaching procedureB. the students' activitiesC. what the teacher does in the classroomD. the attitude the teacher holds towards students and his classroom activities54. When a school has "A Child Is Most Important" as its slogan(口号), this schoolmost probably adopts the idea of _______.A. traditional educationB. open educationC. adult educationD. open university55. 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.

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 even 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 uncertainty and 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 for 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 fast 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 this 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 we don’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 our 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 author believes_____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 chair. 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; it can 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.

Each passage is followed by some questions or incomplete statements. For each of them there are 4 choicesmarked A, B, C and D. You should decideon the best choice, and mark the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet. Passage OneA wealthy Persian Prince loved good stories.The older he grew，the fonder he became of them.But he always regretted they had to have an end. So he decided to give halfhis wealth and his beautiful daughter tothe man who could tell him a story without an end. Anybody who failed would be sent to prisonfor life. The risk was so great that nobody came to the palace to tell thePrince a story for a whole year. Then one day a tall, handsome young man came and said he wanted to tell a storythat would go on forever. The prince agreed but warned him what would happen if he failed.“The risk is worththe head of your fair daughter, ”the young man replied poetically（得体地）. He then beganthis well-known story:“Once upon a time there was a certain King who feared famine. So heordered his men to build an enormous storehouse, which he filled with corn.Then, when it was up, made water-proof and made fire-proof, the King felthappy. But one day he noticed a small hole inthe roof and as he looked at it, a locustcame out with a grain of corn. A minute later, another locust came out with another grain of corn.Then a third locust with another grain of corn. Then a fourth locust, flying at great speed, pushed through the hole andcame out with two grains of corn. Then afifth locust came and …”“Stop” shouted the Prince. “I can’t,” answeredthe young man. “I must go on until I tell you what happened to each grain ofthe corn.” “But that will go on for ever.” The Prince protested. “Exactly” the young man replied,and he smiled as he turned towards the Prince’s beautiful young daughter.41. The Prince always felt regretted aboutstory because _________.A. he had too much wealthB. there was terrible famineC. all stories have endsD. there was no story-teller42. The young man risked to tell an endlessstory to the Prince for _________.A. a great sumB. the prince’s beautiful daughterC. showing his braveryD. Both A and C43. The young man would be sent to prison_________ if he failed to tell a story without an end.A. foreverB. for some timeC. for a whileD. for a year44.In order to prevent famine, the Kingasked to build _________.A. a huge storehouseB. a large farmC. a beautiful palaceD. a waterproof kitchen45. The thing the king noticed first in theroof was _________.A. a loafB. a small holeC. a grain of cornD. a locustPassage TwoPackaging is an important form ofadvertising. A package can sometimes motivate someone to buy a product. Forexample, a small child might ask for a breakfast food that comes in a box witha picture of a TV character. The child is more interested in the picture thanin the breakfast food. Pictures for children to color or cut out, games printedon a package, or small gifts inside a box also motivate many children to buyproducts or to ask their parents for them. Some packages suggest that a buyerwill get something for nothing. Food products sold in reusable containers are examples of this.Although a similar product in a plain container might cost less, people often prefer to buythe product in a reusable glass or dish, because they believe the container isfree. However, the cost of the container is added to the cost of the product. Thesize of a package also motivates a buyer. Maybe the package has “EconomySize” printed on it. This suggests thatthe large size has the most product for the least money. But that is not always true. To find out, a buyerhas to know how the product is sold and the price of the basic unit. The information on thepackage should provide some answers. But the important thing for any buyer toremember is that a package is often an advertisement. The words and pictures donot tell the whole story. Only the product inside can do that.46. Which of the following statements couldbest summarize the main idea of the passage?A. Children areinterested in some packages of products.B. Package is one of the important ways ofadvertising.C. People prefer to buy the products inplain containers.D. The size of a package usually motivatesa buyer.47. The phrase “a buyer will get somethingfor nothing” ( Line 1, Para 2 ) probably means _________.A. a buyer will get something free ofchargeB. a buyer will get something uselessC. a buyer will get something usefulD. nothing is worth buying48. Which of the following statements isNOT true according to the passage?A. Sometimes people are easily motivated bypackages.B. Small children sometimes are moreinterested in games printed on a package than the product itself.C. A product in a reusable container mustbe cheaper than a similar product in a plain container. ,D. “Economy Size”doesn t always suggestthat people can buy the most product forthe least money49. What does the word “ them ” ( Line6, Para. 1 ) refer to? _________.A. Small giftsB. PicturesC. GamesD. Products50. What does the author imply in the lastparagraph?A. Package is just an advertisement.B. Buyers shouldn’t believe the informationon the package too much.C. The package has nothing to do at allwith the product.D. Buyers can always find answers in theinformation on the package.Passage ThreeFor any Englishman, there can never be anydiscussion as to who is the world’s greatest poet and greatest dramatist. Onlyone name can possibly suggest itself to him: that of William Shakespeare. EveryEnglishman has some knowledge, however slight, of the work our greatest writer.All of us use words, phrases and quotations from Shakespeare’s writings that have become part ofthecommon property of English-speaking people. Most of the time we are probably unaware of thesource of the words we use, rather like the old lady who was taken to see a performance of HAMLETand complained that “it was full of well-knownproverbs and quotations.” Shakespeare,more perhaps than any other writer, made full use of the great resources of the English language. Most of us use aboutfive thousand words in our normal employment of English; Shakespeare in his works used about twenty-fivethousand. There is probably no betterway for a foreigner to appreciate the richness and variety of the English language than by studying the various ways inwhich Shakespeare used it. Such a study is well worth the effort (it is not, of course, recommended to beginners)even though some aspects of Englishusage, and the meaning of many words, have changed since Shakespeare’s day.51. English people_________.A. have never discussed who is the world’sgreatest poet and greatest dramatistB. never discuss about the world’s greatestpoets or dramatistsC. are sure who is the world’s greatestpoet and greatest dramatistD. do not care who is the world’s greatestpoet and greatest dramatist52. Every Englishman knows_________.A. more or less about ShakespeareB. Shakespeare, but only slightlyC. all the Shakespeare’s writingsD. only the name of greatest Englishwriter53. Which of the following is TRUE?A. We use all the words, phrases andquotations from Shakespeare’s writings.B. Shakespeare’s writings have become theproperty of those who are learning to speak English.C. It is likely to be true that peopleoften do not know the origin of the words they use.D. All the words people use are taken fromShakespeare’s writings.54. “HAMLET” is _________.A. a play written by ShakespeareB. a play recommended by ShakespeareC. a play appreciated by ShakespeareD. a play people have been complainingabout55. It is worthwhile to study the variousways in which Shakespeare used English because _________.A. English words have changed a lot sinceShakespeare’s timeB. by doing so one can be fully aware ofthe richness of English languageC. English words are now being used in thesame way as in Shakespeare’s daysD. English words are now the same invarious ways as in Shakespeare’ daysPassage FourMost cities and/or states in the U. S.collect a sales tax on almost everything you buy. You must ask when you moveinto a new community how much the local sales tax is, and what items are and are not taxable. Bothtaxable items and the amount of tax vary considerably from place, from one of two percent in some places up toeight or ten in others. The New YorkCity sales tax, for examples, is currently 8%, so if you buy a pair of $40 shoes you will actually have to pay $43.20. This makes paying and getting correct change much more difficult (not to mention makingeverything more expensive).Another thing that makes money changes morecomplicated is tipping. The Chinese people have happily put an end to tipping, but Westerners are stillplagued(遭受折磨) with this indignity.Waiters and waitresses, cab drivers, hotel bellboys, barbers andhairdressers and all sorts of otherpeople must be tipped. Their employers give them low wages because it is expected that you, the customer, willmake up the difference. If you don't, the service person can't earn a living. Tipping alsovaries from place to place, generally in the area of 15% of your bill (before taxes), but againyou should ask local residents whom to tip and how much. There isanother kind of tipping as well. You are generally expected to givesomething (either cash or a bottle ofwhisky) to the mailman at Christmas time. You should discuss this also with neighbors and friends.56. The main idea of this passage is_________.A. shopping and tippingB. sales and shoppingC. sales taxes and tippingD. sales taxes and people57. According to the passage, if you buy apair of $ 50 shoes in the New York City, you pay extra _________as sales tax.A. $4.5B. $4C. $5D. $5.558. Usually, cab drivers _________.A. get high wages from the employerB. get great benefits from theemployerC. get low wages from the employerD. get prize from the employer59. According to the passage, which of thefollowing statements is true?A. The Chinese people have to pay tips inwestern countries.B. The westerners don't have to pay hightips in their own country.C. Barbers, hotel bellboys and all sorts ofother people can earn a living if they are not tipped.D. Tipping varies from place to place,generally in the area of 20% of your bill.60. Usually, taxable items and the amountof tax_________.A. have no difference from place to placein the U. S.B. are over 15% in the U. S.C. have been put an end in the U. S.D. vary from place to place in the U. S.Part ⅢCloze (20points)Directions: There are 20 blanks in thefollowing passage.

Food products sold in reusable containers are examples of this.Although a similar product in a plain container might cost less, people often prefer to buythe product in a reusable glass or dish, because they believe the container isfree. However, the cost of the container is added to the cost of the product. Thesize of a package also motivates a buyer. Maybe the package has “EconomySize” printed on it. This suggests thatthe large size has the most product for the least money. But that is not always true. To find out, a buyerhas to know how the product is sold and the price of the basic unit. The information on thepackage should provide some answers. But the important thing for any buyer toremember is that a package is often an advertisement. The words and pictures donot tell the whole story. Only the product inside can do that.46. Which of the following statements couldbest summarize the main idea of the passage?A. Children areinterested in some packages of products.B. Package is one of the important ways ofadvertising.C. People prefer to buy the products inplain containers.D.

Onlyone name can possibly suggest itself to him: that of William Shakespeare. EveryEnglishman has some knowledge, however slight, of the work our greatest writer.All of us use words, phrases and quotations from Shakespeare’s writings that have become part ofthecommon property of English-speaking people. Most of the time we are probably unaware of thesource of the words we use, rather like the old lady who was taken to see a performance of HAMLETand complained that “it was full of well-knownproverbs and quotations.” Shakespeare,more perhaps than any other writer, made full use of the great resources of the English language. Most of us use aboutfive thousand words in our normal employment of English; Shakespeare in his works used about twenty-fivethousand. There is probably no betterway for a foreigner to appreciate the richness and variety of the English language than by studying the various ways inwhich Shakespeare used it. Such a study is well worth the effort (it is not, of course, recommended to beginners)even though some aspects of Englishusage, and the meaning of many words, have changed since Shakespeare’s day.51. English people_________.A. have never discussed who is the world’sgreatest poet and greatest dramatistB. never discuss about the world’s greatestpoets or dramatistsC. are sure who is the world’s greatestpoet and greatest dramatistD. do not care who is the world’s greatestpoet and greatest dramatist52. Every Englishman knows_________.A. more or less about ShakespeareB. Shakespeare, but only slightlyC. all the Shakespeare’s writingsD. only the name of greatest Englishwriter53. Which of the following is TRUE?A. We use all the words, phrases andquotations from Shakespeare’s writings.B. Shakespeare’s writings have become theproperty of those who are learning to speak English.C. It is likely to be true that peopleoften do not know the origin of the words they use.D. All the words people use are taken fromShakespeare’s writings.54. “HAMLET” is _________.A. a play written by ShakespeareB. a play recommended by ShakespeareC. a play appreciated by ShakespeareD. a play people have been complainingabout55. It is worthwhile to study the variousways in which Shakespeare used English because _________.A. English words have changed a lot sinceShakespeare’s timeB. by doing so one can be fully aware ofthe richness of English languageC. English words are now being used in thesame way as in Shakespeare’s daysD. English words are now the same invarious ways as in Shakespeare’ daysPassage FourMost cities and/or states in the U. S.collect a sales tax on almost everything you buy. You must ask when you moveinto a new community how much the local sales tax is, and what items are and are not taxable. Bothtaxable items and the amount of tax vary considerably from place, from one of two percent in some places up toeight or ten in others. The New YorkCity sales tax, for examples, is currently 8%, so if you buy a pair of $40 shoes you will actually have to pay $43.20. This makes paying and getting correct change much more difficult (not to mention makingeverything more expensive).Another thing that makes money changes morecomplicated is tipping. The Chinese people have happily put an end to tipping, but Westerners are stillplagued(遭受折磨) with this indignity.Waiters and waitresses, cab drivers, hotel bellboys, barbers andhairdressers and all sorts of otherpeople must be tipped. Their employers give them low wages because it is expected that you, the customer, willmake up the difference. If you don't, the service person can't earn a living. Tipping alsovaries from place to place, generally in the area of 15% of your bill (before taxes), but againyou should ask local residents whom to tip and how much. There isanother kind of tipping as well. You are generally expected to givesomething (either cash or a bottle ofwhisky) to the mailman at Christmas time. You should discuss this also with neighbors and friends.56. The main idea of this passage is_________.A. shopping and tippingB. sales and shoppingC. sales taxes and tippingD. sales taxes and people57. According to the passage, if you buy apair of $ 50 shoes in the New York City, you pay extra _________as sales tax.A. $4.5B. $4C. $5D. $5.558. Usually, cab drivers _________.A. get high wages from the employerB. get great benefits from theemployerC. get low wages from the employerD. get prize from the employer59. According to the passage, which of thefollowing statements is true?A. The Chinese people have to pay tips inwestern countries.B. The westerners don't have to pay hightips in their own country.C. Barbers, hotel bellboys and all sorts ofother people can earn a living if they are not tipped.D. Tipping varies from place to place,generally in the area of 20% of your bill.60. Usually, taxable items and the amountof tax_________.A. have no difference from place to placein the U. S.B. are over 15% in the U. S.C. have been put an end in the U. S.D. vary from place to place in the U. S.Part ⅢCloze (20points)Directions: There are 20 blanks in thefollowing passage.

What is his exact________?A. sizeB. lengthC. heightD. breadth Part II Reading Comprehension (40 points)Directions:There are 4 passages in this part. Each passage is followed by some questions or incomplete statements. For each of them there are 4 choices marked A, B, C and D. You should decide on the best choice, and mark the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet.Passage OneA wealthy Persian Prince loved good stories. The older he grew，the fonder he became of them. But he always regretted they had to have an end. So he decided to give half his wealth and his beautiful daughter to the man who could tell him a story without an end. Anybody who failed would be sent to prison for life. The risk was so great that nobody came to the palace to tell the Prince a story for a whole year. Then one day a tall, handsome young man came and said he wanted to tell a story that would go on forever. The prince agreed but warned him what would happen if he failed. “The risk is worth the head of your fair daughter, ” the young man replied poetically（得体地）. He then began this well-known story: “Once upon a time there was a certain King who feared famine. So he ordered his men to build an enormous storehouse, which he filled with corn. Then, when it was up, made water-proof and made fire-proof, the King felt happy. But one day he noticed a small hole in the roof and as he looked at it, a locust came out with a grain of corn. A minute later, another locust came out with another grain of corn. Then a third locust with another grain of corn. Then a fourth locust, flying at great speed, pushed through the hole and came out with two grains of corn. Then a fifth locust came and …”“Stop” shouted the Prince. “I can’t,” answered the young man. “I must go on until I tell you what happened to each grain of the corn.” “But that will go on for ever.” The Prince protested. “Exactly” the young man replied, and he smiled as he turned towards the Prince’s beautiful young daughter.41. The Prince always felt regretted about story because _________.A. he had too much wealthB. there was terrible famineC. all stories have endsD. there was no story-teller42. The young man risked to tell an endless story to the Prince for _________.A. a great sumB. the prince’s beautiful daughterC. showing his braveryD. Both A and C43. The young man would be sent to prison _________ if he failed to tell a story without an end.A. foreverB. for some timeC. for a whileD. for a year44.In order to prevent famine, the King asked to build _________.A. a huge storehouseB. a large farmC. a beautiful palaceD. a waterproof kitchen45. The thing the king noticed first in the roof was _________.A. a loafB. a small holeC. a grain of cornD. a locustPassage TwoPackaging is an important form of advertising. A package can sometimes motivate someone to buy a product. For example, a small child might ask for a breakfast food that comes in a box with a picture of a TV character. The child is moreinterested in the picture than in the breakfast food. Pictures for children to color or cut out, games printed on a package, or small gifts inside a box also motivate many children to buy products or to ask their parents for them.Some packages suggest that a buyer will get something for nothing. Food products sold in reusable containers are examples of this. Although a similar product in a plain container might cost less, people often prefer to buy the product in a reusable glass or dish, because they believe the container is free. However, the cost of the container is added to the cost of the product.The size of a package also motivates a buyer. Maybe the package has “Economy Size” printed on it. This suggests that the large size has the most product for the least money. But that is not always true. To find out, a buyer has to know how the product is sold and the price of the basic unit.The information on the package should provide some answers. But the important thing for any buyer to remember is that a package is often an advertisement. The words and pictures do not tell the whole story. Only the product inside can do that.46. Which of the following statements could best summarize the main idea of the passage?A. Children are interested in some packages of products.B. Package is one of the important ways of advertising.C. People prefer to buy the products in plain containers.D. The size of a package usually motivatesa buyer.47.The phrase “a buyer will get something for nothing” (Line 1, Para 2) probably means _________.A. a buyer will get something free of chargeB. a buyer will get something uselessC. a buyer will get something usefulD. nothing is worth buying48.Which of the following statements is NOT true according to the passage?A. Sometimes people are easily motivated by packages.B. Small children sometimes are more interested in games printed on a package than the product itself.C. A product in a reusable container must be cheaper than a similar product in a plain container.D. “Economy Size”doesn’t always suggest that people can buy the most product for the least money.49.What do es the word “them” (Line 6, Para. 1) refer to? _________.A. Small giftsB. PicturesC. GamesD. Products50. What does the author imply in the last paragraph?A. Package is just an advertisement.B. Buyers shouldn’t believe the information on the package too much.C. The package has nothing to do at all with the product.D. Buyers can always find answers in the information on the package.Passage ThreeFor any Englishman, there can never be any discussion as t o who is the world’s greatest poet and greatest dramatist. Only one name can possibly suggest itself to him: that of William Shakespeare. Every Englishman has some knowledge, however slight, of the work our greatest writer. All of us use words, phrases and quotations from Shakespeare’s writings that have become part of the common property of English-speaking people. Most of the time we are probably unaware of the source of the words we use, rather like the old lady who was taken to see a performance ofHAML ET and complained that “it was full of well-known proverbs and quotations.” Shakespeare, more perhaps than any other writer, made full use of the great resources of the English language. Most of us use about five thousand words in our normal employment of English; Shakespeare in his works used about twenty-five thousand. There is probably no better way for a foreigner to appreciate the richness and variety of the English language than by studying the various ways in which Shakespeare used it. Such a study is well worth the effort (it is not, of course, recommended to beginners) even though some aspects of English usage, and the meaning of many words, have changed since Shakespeare’s day.51. English people_________.A. have never discussed who is the wor ld’s greatest poet and greatest dramatistB. never discuss about the world’s greatest poets or dramatistsC. are sure who is the world’s greatest poet and greatest dramatistD. do not care who is the world’s greatest poet and greatest dramatist52. Every Englishman knows_________.A. more or less about ShakespeareB. Shakespeare, but only slightlyC. all the Shakespeare’s writingsD. only the name of greatest English writer53. Which of the following is TRUE?A. We use all the words, phrases and quotations from Shakespeare’s writings.B. Shakespeare’s writings have become the property of those who are learning to speak English.C. It is likely to be true that people often do not know the origin of the words they use.D. All the words people use are taken from Shakespeare’s writings.54. “HAMLET” is _________.A. a play written by ShakespeareB. a play recommended by ShakespeareC. a play appreciated by ShakespeareD. a play people have been complaining about55.It is worthwhile to study the various ways in which Shakespeare used English because _________.A. English words have changed a lot since Shakespeare’s timeB. by doing so one can be fully aware of the richness of English languageC. English words are now being used in the same way as in Shakespeare’s daysD. English words are now the same in various ways as in Shakespeare’ daysPassage FourMost cities and/or states in the U. S. collect a sales tax on almost everything you buy. You must ask when you move into a new community how much the local sales tax is, and what items are and are not taxable. Both taxable items and the amount of tax vary considerably from place, from one of two percent in some places up to eight or ten in others. The New York City sales tax, for examples, is currently 8%, so if you buy a pair of $ 40 shoes you will actually have to pay $ 43.20. This makes paying and getting correct change much more difficult (not to mention making everything more expensive).Another thing that makes money changes more complicated is tipping. The Chinese people have happily put an end to tipping, but Westerners are still plagued(遭受折磨) with this indignity. Waiters and waitresses, cab drivers, hotel bellboys, barbers and hairdressers and all sorts of other people must be tipped. Their employers give them low wages because it is expected that you, the customer, will make up the difference. If you don't, the service person can't earn aliving. Tipping also varies from place to place, generally in the area of 15% of your bill (before taxes), but again you should ask local residents whom to tip and how much. There is another kind of tipping as well. You are generally expected to give something (either cash or a bottle of whisky) to the mailman at Christmas time. You should discuss this also with neighbors and friends.56.The main idea of this passage is _________.A. shopping and tippingB. sales and shoppingC. sales taxes and tippingD. sales taxes and people57. According to the passage, if you buy a pair of $ 50 shoes in the New York City, you pay extra _________as sales tax.A. $4.5B. $4C. $5D. $5.558. Usually, cab drivers _________.A. get high wages from the employerB. get great benefits from the employerC. get low wages from the employerD. get prize from the employer59. According to the passage, which of the following statements is true?A. The Chinese people have to pay tips in western countries.B. The westerners don't have to pay high tips in their own country.C. Barbers, hotel bellboys and all sorts of other people can earn a living if they are not tipped.D. Tipping varies from place to place, generally in the area of 20% of your bill. 60. Usually, taxable items and the amount of tax_________.A. have no difference from place to place in the U. S.B. are over 15% in the U. S.C. have been put an end in the U. S.D. vary from place to place in the U. S. Part ⅢCloze (20 points)Directions: There are 20 blanks in the following passage. For each blank there are four choices marked A, B, C and D.

After reading each passage, you will find some questions or unfinished statements. For each question or statement there are 4choices marked A., B., C. and D. You should choose the most appropriate answer andwrite the letter in the corresponding space on the Answer Sheet.Questions 16 to 18 are based on the following passage.Suppose you work in a big firm and find English important for your job because you often deal with foreign businessmen. Now you are looking for a place where you can improve your English, especially your spoken English. Here are some ads about English language training. You may find the information you need.16. If you work from 9: 00 a. m. to 4:30 p. m. every day, which schools will you choose?A. Global English Center and Modern Language School.B. Global English Center and International House of English.C. Modern Language School and the 21st Century English Training Center.D. The 21st Century English Training Center and the International House of English.17. The 21st Century English Training Center is different from the other 3 schools in that ________.A. it requires an entrance examinationB. it is nearest to the city centerC. its courses are more advancedD. its teaching quality is better18. You’ll probably prefer to go to the International House of English because it ________.A. costs less than other schoolsB. offers more sightseeing and social activitiesC. has British teachersD. has a special course in spoken EnglishQuestions 19 to 22 are based on the following passage.In an analysis of reports from 42 countries, U. S. researchers found that married people are consistently happier than singletons. The effect is small, but that still begs the question: Does marriage make you happy, or are happy people simply more likely to get married?Both answers may be true. In a study that followed more than 30,000 Germans for 15 years, Diener and his colleagues found that happy people are more likely to get married and then stay married. But anyone can improve his or her mood by getting married. The effect begins about a year before the “happy day” and lasts for at least a year afterward. For most people, satisfaction levels do return to their baseline, but the researchers say this conceals(掩盖) the fact that a good marriage can have a permanent positive effect. Furthermore, people who are less happy to begin with will get a bigger boost from marriage.And it seems there’s something special about signing that piece of paper: The research shows that you can’t get as much benefit from simply cohabiting（同居）. “My husband says that cohabiting couples lack the deeper security that comes with the formal band of gold, and that is why they are not quite so happy,” says Oswald. “Insecurity, we know from all data, is bad for human beings.”19. The title of the passage is probably ________.A. Single PeopleB. Married PeopleC. Marriage and HappinessD. Band of Gold20. What keeps back the permanent positive effect of marriage?A. The baseline of satisfaction.B. A less happy beginning.C. The concealment of reality.D. A good marriage.21. The word “boost” in Paragraph 2 most probably means ________.A. creditB. happinessC. improvementD. reward22. According to the passage, what will do harm to human beings?A. Keeping single.B. Insecurity.C. Dissatisfaction.D. Cohabitation. Questions 23 to 26 are based on the following passage.When we talk about intelligence, we do not mean the ability to get a good score on a certain test, or even the ability to do generally well at school. By intelligence we mean a style of life, a way of behaving in various situations. The true test of intelligence is not how much we know how to do, but how we behave when we don’t know what to do.The intelligent person, young or old, meeting a new situation or problem, opens himself up to it. He tries to take it with mind and senses everything he can about it. He thinks about it, instead of about himself or what it might cause to happen to him. If he fails to master it, he looks without fear or shame at his mistakes and learns what he can from them. This is intelligence. Clearly its roots lie in a certain feeling about life. Just as clearly, unintelligence is not what most psychologists seem to suppose, the same thing as intelligence, only less of it. It is an entirely different style of behavior, out of entirely different set of attitudes.Years of watching and comparing bright children with the not-bright or less bright have shown that they are very different kinds of people. The bright child is curious about life and reality, eager to get in touch with it, and unite himself with it. There is no wall between himself and life. On the other hand, the dull child is far less curious, far less interested in what goes on and what is real. The bright child likes to experiment, to try things out. He lives by the maxim(格言) that there is more than one way to skin a cat. If he can’t do something one way, he’ll try another. The dull child is usually afraid to try at all. It takes a great deal of urging to get him to try even once; if that try fails, he is through.Nobody starts off stupid. Hardly an adult in a thousand or ten thousand could in any three yearsof his life learn as much, grow as much in his understanding of the world around him, as every child learns and grows in his first three years. But what happens, as we grow older, to this extraordinary capacity for leaning and intellectual growth? What happens is that it is destroyed, and more than by anything else, it is destroyed by the process that we misname education-a process that goes on in most homes and schools.23. The writer believes that intelligence is ________.A. doing well on some examinationsB. being an excellent student at schoolC. knowing quickly how to solve a problemD. a certain positive type of behavior or attitude24. The passage tells us that ________.A. a bright child gives up easilyB. a bright child is open-mindedC. an unintelligent child is never reluctant to tryD. an unintelligent child knows little about himself25. Which of the following statements has a similar meaning to the maxim “There’s more than oneway to skin a cat.”?A. Make hay while the sun shines.B. If at first you succeed, keep trying again.C. If at first you don’t succeed, try, try, and try again.D. Make new friends and keep the old; one is silver and the other is gold.26. The writer says that education is misnamed because it ________.A. discourages intellectual growthB. takes place more at home than at schoolC. fails to help dull children with their problemsD. only helps bright children understand the world around themQuestions 27 to 31 are based on the following passage.What should you think about when trying to find your career? You are probably better at some school subjects than others. These may show strengths that you can use in your work. A boy who is good at mathematics can use that in an engineering career. A girl who spells well and likes Englishmay be good at office work. So it is important to know the subjects you do well at school. On the other hand, you may not have any specially strong subjects but your records show a general satisfactory standard. Although not all subjects can be used directly in a job, they may have indirect value. A knowledge of history is not required for most jobs but if history is one of your good subjects, you will have learned to remember facts and details. This is an ability that can be useful in many jobs.Your school may have taught you skills, such as typing or technical drawing, which you can use in your work. You may be good at metalwork or cookery and look for a job where you can improve these skills. If you have had a part-time job on Saturdays or in the summer, think what you gained from it. If nothing else, you may have learned how to get to work on time, to follow instructions and to get on with older workers. You may have learned to give correct changes in a shop, for example. Just as important, you may become interested in a particular industry or career you see from the inside in a part-time job.Facing your weak points is also part of knowing yourself. You may be all thumbs when you handle tools; perhaps you are a poor speller or cannot add up a column of figures. It is better to face any weakness than to pretend they do not exist. Your school record, for instance, may not be too good, yet it is an important part of your background. You should not be apologetic about it, but instead recognize that you will have a chance of a fresh start at work.27. What is the passage mainly about?A. How to face one’s weakness.B. Advice on choosing a career.C. The significance of working hard at school.D. The direct and indirect value of school work.28. According to the passage, doing a part-time job as a student ________.A. can help afford one’s educationB. is a good way to practice the skills learnt in schoolC. can help you prepare for future workD. is a waste of time that could have been spent on study29. From the passage we learn that if a student’s school performance is not good, he ________.A. could restart his study in schoolB. may also do well in his future workC. will be regretful about the bad results he has got at schoolD. should pay more attention to learning skills and developing abilities30. The phrase “be all thumbs” in Paragraph 3 probably means ________.A. be bored at doing thingsB. be skillful in doing thingsC. be interested in doing thingsD. be awkward at doing things31. From the last paragraph we know that one should ________.A. face one’s own weak points wiselyB. study harder for a new school recordC. make full use of one’s own weak pointsD. feel sorry for one’s own school record Questions 32 to 35 are based on the following passage.Mandy Naylor writes an e-mail about her progress so far working as a social worker in Kazakhstan:“Things are going well. There have been some real high points and some times when I’ve felt totally inadequate and thought VSO had wasted a whole load of money and time on me!But I’ve never doubted that this was the right place and thing for me to do. I’ve made some great friends both with volunteers who are off in many different regions of Kazakhstan and some lovely local people.As for work-we have just come back from the cold North of Kazakhstan from a conference and I will go back next year to lecture with my counterparts and hopefully, parents and disabled children, on the new social work course that we are busy developing.

I’ve also made good links with DIFID and the British Embassy and we’re looking to submit a big funding bid for a National Children’s Rights Project. It’s a great achievement to have been able to ensure that a project like that gets started.I’m busy and generally happy. I am running a British club at work that has 32 members. And I’m just about to start a women’s self-defence group. Every day is a challenge and I quite often feel exhausted. I’m not doing too badly with the language either!Kazakhstan is beautiful and where I am based is well developed. It’s cold but quite mild compared with the rest of Kazakhstan.

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 write the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet.Questions 41 to 45 are based on the following passage:Passage OneWhat do we talk about when we talk about money? We often think about what we can buy with the money we have, what we can’t buy because we don’t have enough and what we’re planning to buy when we have more. We discuss the careers that bring us money and the expenses that take it away. We talk about our favourite shops and restaurants, the causes we support, the places we’ve been and seen. We share dreams that only money can make real.In short, we talk about everything but money itself. In daily life, money is still a major conversational taboo. This is a shame, because money is as interesting as the things it does and buys, and the more you know about it, the more interesting it is.(81) As a financial advisor, I’ve seen hundreds of people learn to control their money instead of letting it control them and watched as they increased as they increased their freedom, power and security by handling money consciously. Wouldn’t you like to know that you’ll always have enough money to live exactly as you want to?You will never be powerful in life until you’re powerful over your own money. Talking openly about it is the first step.41. Which of the following is NOT discussed when we talk about money?A.The careers that bring us moneyB.The causes we supportC.The dreams that only money can make realD.Money itself42. What can we know from the second paragraph?A.We should know more about money itself rather than avoid talking about it.B.Money itself can interest us and bring us happiness.C.The more money we earn, the more we should know about it.D.It is a shame that people talk too much about money.43. What does the writer want to say in the third paragraph?A.People should learn how to make money.B.People should know the value of money.C.People should learn to control their money.D.People should know how to use money to increase their power.44. The writer’s advice that _____.A.the more you talk about money, the more you can control it.B.we should learn to be a good master of our money if we want to be powerful in lifeC.we should not be so worried about money if we want to have a free lifeD.the more money you have, the more powerful you are45. What will the writer probably talk about after the last paragraph?A.The importance of moneyB.Money, power and securityC.The other steps for people to control moneyD.The steps for people to make moneyQuestions 46 to 50 based on the following passage:Passage TwoA question often put to the specialist on fishes is “How long do fishes live?” This puts the specialists in an embarrassing position because he is often unable to give a direct answer to this simple question.But actually this question is not as simple as it seems. There are thousands of different kinds of fishes, and they vary a great deal in size and life span. Moreover, it is not easy to find out just how long a fish lives in its natural state.We can find out how old a fish is by studying its scales, but we cannot say how much more time it would live if we had not caught it.We may rear fishes and record their life span but we cannot be sure that this is the length of time they would have lived, had they been left alone.We may make marking to show how fast the fishes grow so that we can calculate the age of the largest on record, but unless this large fish dies of old age we are still not in a position to know its natural life span.(82) unlike human beings, fishes do not stop growing when they reach maturity. They continue to grow as long as they live, although the rate of growth slows down in mature fishes.46. People often ask the specialist on fishes regarding its _______.A. sizeB. life spanC. ageD. variety47. The specialist is embarrassed by the question because _______.A.he does not know the answerB.there is no answer to the questionC.it is a silly and simple question for himD.there is no definite answer to this question48. We can know a fish’s age from its ______.A. weightB. sizeC. scalesD. length49. Which of the following statements is NOT true?A.Different kinds of fishes have different life spans.B.It is hard for the specialist to know the length of time a fish lives in its natural stateC.Mature fishes grow more quickly than young ones.D.The specialist makes marking to know the rate of growth of fishes so that they know theage of the largest ones.50. Human beings, unlike fishes, _______.A.stop growing when they reach maturityB.grow faster after maturingC.continue to grow as long as they liveD.have a short life spanQuestions 51 to 55 are based on the following passage:Passage ThreeWe find that bright children are rarely held back by mixed-ability teaching. On the contrary, both their knowledge and experience are enriched. We feel that there are many disadvantages in streaming (把……按能力分班) pupils. It does not take into account the fact that children develop at different rates. It can have a bad effect on both the bright and the not-so-bright child. After all, it can be quite discouraging to be at the bottom of the top grade!Besides, it is rather unreal to grade pupils just according to their intellectual ability. This is only on aspect of their total personality. (83) we are concerned to develop the abilities of all out pupils to the full, not just their academic ability. We also value personal qualities and social skills, and we find that mixed-ability teaching contributes to all these aspects of learning.In our classrooms, we work in various ways. The pupils often work in groups: this gives them the opportunity to learn to co-operate, to share, and to develop leadership skills. (84) they also learn how to cope with personal problems as well as learning how to think, to make decisions, to analyze and evaluate, and to communicate effectively. The pupils learn from each other as well as form the teacher.Sometimes the pupils work in pairs; sometimes they work on individual tasks and assignments, and they can do this at their own speed. They also have some formal class teaching when this appropriate. We encourage our pupils to use the library, and we teach them the skills they need in order to do this efficiently. An advanced pupil can do advanced work: it does not matter what age the child is. We expect our pupils to do their best, not their least, and we give them every encouragement to attain this goal.51. In the passage the author’s attitude towards “mixed-ability” is _________.A.criticalB. approvingC. questioningD. objective52. By “held back”(Line 1, Para. 1) the author means _________.A.made to remain in the same classesB. forced to study in the lower classesC. learning ability and communicative skillsD. prevented from advancing53. The author argues that a teacher’s chief concern should be the development of the student’s _______.A.personal qualities and social skillsB. total personalityC. learning ability and communicative skillsD. intellectual ability37．Which of the following is NOT MENTIONED in the third paragraph?A.Group work gives pupils the opportunity to learn to work together with others.B.Pupils also learn to develop their reasoning abilities.C.Group work provides pupils with the opportunity to learn to be capable organizers.D.Pupils also learn how to participate in teaching activities.55. The author’s purpose in writing this passage is to _______.A.argue for teaching bright and not-so-bright pupils in the same classB.recommend pair work and group work for classroom activitiesC.offer advice on the proper use of the libraryD.emphasize the importance of appropriate formal classroom teachingQuestions 56 to 60 are based on the following passage:Passage Four(85) Prices determine how resources are to be used. They are also the means by which products and services that are in limited supply are disturbed among buyers. The price system of the United States is a very complex network composed of the price of all the products brought and sold in the economy as well as those of numerous services, including labor, professional transportation, and public-utility services. The interrelationships of all these prices make up the “system” of prices. The prices of any particular product or service are linked to a broad, complicated system of prices in which everything seems to depend more or less on everything else.If one were to ask randomly (随机地) a group of individuals to define “price”, many would reply that price is an amount of money paid by the buyer to the seller of a product or service as agreed upon in a market transaction (交易). This definition is, of course, valid as far as it goes.For a complete understanding of a price in any particular transaction, much more than the amount of money involved must be known. Both the buyer and the seller should be familiar with not only the money amount, but with the amount and quality of the product or service to be exchanged, the time and place at which the exchange will take place and the payment will be made, the form of money to be used, and the credit terms and discounts that supply to the transaction, guarantees on the product or service, delivery terms, return privileges, and other factors that comprise the total “package” being exchanged for the asked-for amount in order that they may evaluate a given price.56. According to the passage, the price system is related primarily to ______.bor and educationB. transportation and insuranceC. utilities and repairsD. products and services57. According to the passage, which of the following is NOT a factor in the complete understanding of price?A.Instructions that come with a productB.The quantity of a productC.The quality of a productD.Guarantees that come with a product1.In the last sentence of the passage, the word “they” refers to ________.A.return privilegesB. all the factorsC. the buyer and the sellerD. money59. The paragraph following the passage likely discusses ________.A.unusual ways to advertise productsB.types of payment plans for serviceC.theories about how products affect different levels of societyD.how certain elements of price “package” influence its market value60. What is the best title for the passage?A.The Inherent Weakness in the Price SystemB.The Complexities of the Price SystemC.Credit Terms in TransactionsD.Resource Distribution and the Public Sector得分评卷人III. Cloze Test (20分)Directions: There are 20 blanks in the following passage. For each blank there are four choices marked A, B, C and D below the passage. You should choose the ONE that best fits into the passage. Then write the corresponding letter on the Answer sheet.Section A(非英语专业做)Britain was a wealthy country a hundred and fifty years 61 . There were a 62 very rich people 63 received money form land or investment, and did not need to work. They used to have large 64 of servants to look 65 them. There were also many middle class people, who worked as businessmen or as doctors or lawyers. They usually had several servants to 66 their houses and cook their meals.But there were also many poor people, and there was a big 67 between the rich and the poor. The poor had very difficult lives. Many worked as servants. They used to be 68 little, and they had to work long hours. But at least they lived in warm house and were well 69 .70 who worked in factories were often less 71 . They used to work many hours a day, in dangerous and unhealthy conditions. But, even so, they did not use to 72 enough to feed their families. They often lived in slums which were built cheaply by the factory owners.The 73 paid people were those who worked 74 the farms. At certain times of the year, they did not use to earn 75 because there was no work 76 them to do.Life for the poor was not always bad. There were kind farmers and factory owners who helped their workers. And many people were 77 about the poor. One of them was Charles Dickens, the famous British writer. When he was young, his family was always short 78 money. His father was a clerk ,who used to 79 more than he earned. When Dickens was eleven, his father was 80 to prison, and Dickens had to work in a factory. At this time, very young children used to work in factories and mines, and clean chimneys.61.

A. cost B. spend C. waste D. lend80. A. sent B. brought C. pulled D. enteredSection B(英语专业学生做)Reading is thought to be a kind of conversation between the reader and the text. The reader puts questions, as it were, to the text and gets answers. In the 61 of these he puts further questions, and so on.For most of the time this “conversation” goes on 61 the level of consciousness. At times, 63 , we become aware of it. This is usually when we are running 64 difficulties, when mismatch is occurring between 65 and meaning. When successful matching is being 66 , our questions of the text 67 are at the unconscious level.Different people converse 68 the text differently. Some stay very 69 to the words on the page;70 take off imaginatively from the words, interpreting, criticizing, analyzing and examining. The71 represents a kind of comprehension which is written in the text. The latter represents 72 levels of comprehension. The 73 between these is important, especially for the advanced reader.There is another conversation which from our point of 74 is equally important, and that is to 75 not with that is read about but with how it is read. We call this a “process” conversation as 76 to a “content” conversation. It is concerned not with meaning but with the strategies we 77 in reading. If we are an advanced reader our ability to hold a process conversation with a text is usually pretty well 78 . It is 79 this kind of conversation that is of importance when we are 80 to develop our reading to meet the new demands being placed upon us by studying at a high level.61. A. answer B. light C. meaning D. weight62. A. at B. below C. on D. of63. A. however B. so C. but D. also64. A. off B. away C. into D. on65. A. expectations B. wishes C. hopes D. predictions66.

Sleep is necessary for good health. During this time, the body recovers from the activities of the previous day. The rest that you get while sleeping enables your body to prepare itself for the next day.There are four levels of sleep, each being a little deeper than the one before. As you sleep, your muscles relax little by little. Your heart beats more slowly, and your brain slows down. After you reach the fourth level, your body shifts back and forth from one level of sleep to the other.Although your mind slows down, from time to time you will dream. Scientists who study sleep state that when dreaming occurs, your drinking warm milk will help make you drowsy. There is also an old suggestion that counting sheep will put you to sleep!41. A good tile for this passage is ____.A. SleepB. Good healthC. DreamsD. Work and Rest42. During the four levels of your sleep, ____.A. your body works slowlyB. you will dreamC. you are restlessD. both A and B43. The word “drowsy”(underlined, in paragraph 3 probably means ____A. staying upB. a little sleepyC. getting sickD. awake all the timePassage TwoCars are lots of fun, but they could also be dangerous. We have to be careful when we drive them or ride in them.It's always a good idea to put on your seat belt when you're in a car. Why? Think about this example: You put an egg on a skateboard and give it a push. If the skateboard hits a stone, it will stop, but the egg won't. It will fly through the air, hit the ground and break.Now, think what would happen if you tied the egg to the skateboard. When the skateboard hits a stone, the egg won't go flying, it will stay safely on the skateboard.V olvo, a famous Swedish car maker, was the first to use seat belts in 1849. Air bags are also very important for car safety, because sometimes a seat belt isn't enough. If the car is going really fast and runs into something, seat belts could even hurt the people who wear them.Most new cars have air bags in front of and next to the seats. When a car hits something, its air bags will come out quickly – in less than one second – to keep the people inside safe.44. We have to be careful in driving a car mainly because it could be ____.A. little funB. a pleasureC. a lot of trouble D a great danger45. The example of an egg on a skateboard is used to show that ____.A. eggs break easily on a moving skateboardB. cars should not be stopped suddenlyC. driving is a dangerous act D seat belts are important to safety46 According to the passage, air bags are another device that ____.A. adds safety to car drivingB. is going to replace seat beltsC. comes out slowly to functionD. prevents cars from running too fast47. The best title for the passage is ____.A. Make a Car Safe InsideB. Buy a Volvo with AirbagsC. Fasten Your Seat BeltsD. Add Air Bags to CarsPassage ThreeAll the housewives who went to the new supermarket had one great ambition: to be the lucky customer who did not have to pay for her shopping. For this was what the notice just inside the entrance promised. It said: “Remember, once a week, one of our customers gets free goods. This May Be Your Lucky Day!”For several weeks Mrs. Edwards hoped, like many of her friends, to be the lucky customer. Unlike her friends, she never gave up hoping. The cupboards in kitchen were full of things which she did not need. Her husband tried to advise her against buying things but failed. She dreamed of the day when the manager of the supermarket would approach her and say: “Madam, this is Your Lucky Day. Everything in your basket is free.”One Friday morning, after she had finished her shopping and had taken it to her car, she found that she had forgotten to buy any tea. She dashed back to the supermarket, got the tea and went towards the cash-desk. As she did so, she saw the manager of the supermarket approach her. “Madam,” he said, holding out his hand, “I want to congratulate you! You are our lucky customer and everything you have in your basket is free!”48. What did the supermarket promise its customers?A. Free shopping for one customer once a week.B. Free shopping for all customers.C. Free shopping for all customers on a certain day.D. Free shopping for one customer.49. What was Mrs. Blake hoping?A. To buy something cheaper in the supermarket.B. To be the luck customer.C. To buy all the things needed to fill in the cupboards.D. To see the manager of the supermarket.50. Why did Mrs. Blake go back to the market after her shopping?A. Because she had to find her shopping.B. Because she had to meet the manager.C. Because she had to buy one more thing.D. Because she had to pay for her shopping.51. Which of the following is NOT true according to the passage?A. The manager of the supermarket was a clever businessman.B. Mrs. Blake bought a lot of things she didn’t need.C. Mrs. Blake’s dream at last came true.D. All the things Mrs. Blake bought that day would be free.Passage FourInternet use appears to cause a drop in psychological health, according to research at Carnegie Mellon University.Even people who spent just a few hours a week on the Internet experienced more bad feelings and loneliness than those who was online less frequently，the two-year study showed. Researchers are puzzlingover the results, which were completely contrary to their expectations (期望). They expected that the Net would prove socially healthier than television，since the Net allows users to choose their information and to communicate with others.The fact that Internet use reduces time available for family and friends may account for the drop in psychological health，researchers hypothesized （推测）. Faceless，bodiless “virtual”（虚的）communication may be less psychologically satisfying than actual conversation，and the relationships formed through it may be shallower. Another possibility is that exposure to the wider world through the Net makes users less satisfied with their lives.“But it‘ s important to remember this is not about the technology，it’ s about how it is used，”says psychologist Christine Riley of Intel，one of the study‘ s sponsors （发起人）。

Fossil fuels, such as oil, coal, and natural gas, are burned to make electricity. Burning fossil fuels releases pollution and carbon dioxide gas (CO2) into the air. The more fossil fuels we burn, the warmer the air aroundEarth gets. So building fossil fuel plans is not always the best answer.Actually, there are other ways to make electricity without burning fossil fuels. People have been using the power of wind for centuries. Wind power won’t solve all our energy problems, but it can help meet some of the demands in certain places. Since the late 1800s, scientists have been working to turn the sun’s energy into electricity by using solar cells (太阳能电池). The problem is, solar cells are very expensive. Another way to make electricity is to use nuclear energy. It has been used for more than 50 years. Today about 10 percent of all the electricity used in the U.S.A. comes from this source.Although nuclear power doesn’t pollute the air as the burning of fossil fuels does, there is a major drawback . The waste products from nuclear power plants are dangerous and must be stored in safe places. Many people are concerned about the safety of nuclear power.51．The best title for this passage may be ________A．The Importance of ElectricityB．The Pollution of Making Electricity from Fossil FuelsC．The Advantage of Using Nuclear EnergyD．Means of Making Electrical Power52．Which energy has damage to us according to the passageA．Wind power B．Fossil fuelsC．Solar power D．Water power53．We can infer from the passage that _________A．burning fossil fuels to make electricity is widely usedB．wind power is a widespread way to make electricityC．energy problems will soon be solvedD．nuclear energy will solve all the energy problems we are facing54．What does the underlined word “drawback”(in meanA．effect B．advantage C．disadvantage D．concern55．Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the passageA．Fossil fuels should be encouraged to use to make electricityB．Not all the areas could use wind power.C．Solar energy costs the mostD．Using nuclear energy will not produce negative effect.Task 3Directions: This task to is the same as Task 1.A new study by the Development of Health in Taiwan shows that more than half of the adult population in Taiwan lacks an understanding of health problems.More than 2,000 adults took part in the survey to find out about their knowledge of diet, health-care, disease control and medicine. Surprisingly, only 51% of the people surveyed understand that common cold has no cure, and taking medicine is absolutely no use at all. The problem is mad worse by doctors who give their patients large doses of useless drugs. More than two-thirds believe that it is only the nicotine in cigarettes rather than the other chemicals that causes cancer. These people believe that if they smoke “light” cigarettes with less nicotine, they will lead to more illness, suffering and early death.But the outlook for health education in Taiwan is not all negative. The survey concludes that younger Taiwanese have a better understanding of health concerns than their parents, while senior citizens have the least understanding among the three age groups. 56．The purpose of the survey is to find out _______A．why people neglect their healthB．what people know about healthC．when to provide health educationD．who is more likely to become ill57．Which of the following is TRUE about medicines for coldA．They can cure common cold.B．Doctors often discourage the patients from taking them.C．About 51% of the patients take them.D．Some Taiwanese take them unnecessarily.58．According to the survey, most Taiwanese believe that ____.A．only nicotine leads to cancerB．few people will get cancerC．”light ”cigarettes make people healthyD．other chemicals besides nicotine cause cancer59．About ______ of Taiwanese adults smokeA．one-third B．two-thirdsC．a half D．a quarter60．The survey shows that ________ have the best understanding of health concerns.
