Each passage is followed by some questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four suggested answers marked A, B, C and D. Choose the best answer to each question. Then put your choice on the answer sheet.Passage 1(较易) Television, the modern wonder of electronics, brings the world into your own home in sight and sound. And the word …television‟ means seeing far.Television works in much the same way as radio. In radio, sound is changed into electromagnetic waves which are sent through the air. Experiments leading to moderntelevision took place more than a hundred years ago. By the 1920s inventors and researchers had turned, the early theories into working models. Yet it took another thirty years for TV to become industry.The influence of TV on the life of the people is incalculable; it can influence their thoughts and their way of life. It can also add to their store of knowledge. Educational TV stations offer teaching in various subjects. Some hospitals use TV for medical students to get close-up views of operations. At first television programs were broadcast in black-and-white. With the development of science and technology, the problem of how to telecast them in full color was solved and by the middle 1960s the national networks were broadcasting most of their programs in color.The programs that people watch are not only local and national ones. Since the launching of the first communications satellite, more and more programs are telecast …live‟from all over the world. People in San Francisco were able to watch the 1964 Olympic Games in Tokyo. And live telecasts now come from outer space. In 1969, the first astronauts to land on the moon televised their historic …moon walk‟ to viewers on the earth. Since then, astronauts have regularly sent telecast to the earth.26.The launching of communications satellites made it possible for people in SanFrancisco to ______.A. get close-up views of operationsB. store knowledgeC. watch the 1964 Olympic Games in TokyoD. watch national programs27. The development of science and technology made it possible for television programsto ______.A. be telecast in full colorB. be telecast in San FranciscoC. be telecast in TokyoD. be telecast in black-and-white28. The word …incalculable‟ means ______.A. easy to tellB. very greatC. difficult to tellD. very small29. Television is said to be the modern wonder of electronics, because ______.A. it influences people‟s way of lifeB. it makes people see farC. it brings the world into people‟s own home in sight and soundD. it works as radio30. The television became an industry in ______.A. 1950B. the 1960sC. the 1920sD. the 1950sPassage 2 (中)26. C 27. A 28. B 29. C 30. D31. D 32. D 33. C 34. C 35. B36. C 37. B 38. D 39. C 40. B41. B 42. C 43. A 44. A 45. CIn ancient times the most important examinations were spoken, not written. In the schools of ancient Greece and Rome, testing usually consisted of saying poetry aloud or giving speeches.In the European universities of the Middle Ages, students who were working for advanced degrees had to discuss questions in their field of study with people who had made a special study of the subject. This custom exists today as part of the process of testing candidates（考生）for the doctor‟s degree.Generally, however, modern examinations are written. The written examination, where all students are tested on the same questions, was probably not known until the nineteenth century. Perhaps it came into existence with the great increase in population and the development of modern industry. A room full of candidates for a state examination, timed exactly by electric clocks and carefully watched over by managers, resembles a group of workers at an automobile factory. Certainly, during examinations teachers and students are expected to act like machines.One type of test is sometimes called an objective（客观）test. It is intended to deal with facts, not personal opinions. To make up an objective test the teacher writes a series of questions, each of which has only one correct answer. Along with each question the teacher writes the correct answer and also three statements that look like answers to students who have not learned the material properly.31. In the Middle Ages students ______.A. took objective testsB. were timed by electric clocksC. specialized in one subjectD. never wrote exams32. The main idea of paragraph 3 is that ______.A. workers now take examinationsB. the population has grownC. there are only written exams todayD. examinations are now written and timed33. The kind of exams where students must select answers are ______.A. personalB. spokenC. objectiveD. written34. Modern industry must have developed ______.A. before the Middle AgesB. in Greece or RomeC. around the 19th centuryD. machines to take tests35. It may be concluded that testing ______.A. should test only opinionsB. has changed since the Middle AgesC. should always be writtenD. is given only in factoriesPassage 3 (艺术类~~易)Singing had always been an important part of Gloria Estefan‟s life. “Since I was three years old, I sang everything,” Gloria said. “Cubans,” she added, “are a musical people.”Gloria was born in Cuba in 1957. Her family left the county just before Fidel Castro came to power. In Miami, where the family settled, many people did not accept Cuban immigrants. In first grade, she spoke little English, but she worked hard to learn the language. Six months after she entered school, she won an award for reading in English!When Gloria was ten, her father returned from the Vietnam War. Soon, the family realized he wasn‟t well. They soon found out that he had sclerosis. Her mother went back to teaching at school to support the family. Gloria cared for her father and her younger sister.She still made the honor roll, and she still had her music, but Gloria was lonely. However, when band leader Emilio Estefan came to speak at her high school, Gloria sang for him. He asked her to join his band. It was the beginning of the Miami Sound Machine.Within a few months, the Miami Sound Machine was the top band in Miami. In 1978, Gloria and Emilio married.At first, the Miami Sound Machine was known only in Miami. Then the band signed with CBS（哥伦比亚广播公司）Records. Estefan and her band became stars.Since then, the Miami Sound Machine has sold millions of albums. Estefan has done more than just singing when Hurricane Andrew devastated central Florida in 1992. She used only two weeks to organize an all-star concert that raised $2 million for the hurricane‟s victims. “We needed a party after that disaster,” she said.Estefan said, “You have to stay true to the music you really love to do. There will always be people who will tell you, …That won‟t work.‟ You‟ve got to persevere. Stick with it —that‟s the main thing.”36.

This passage tells about Estefan‟s ______.A. happy marriageB. life storyC. musicD. Cuban backgroundPassage 4 (艺术类~~~中)Ballet training in Russia begins at age nine or ten. Whatever the limitations of ballet in the Soviet Union, it is no wonder that Russian ballet dancers perform with ease leaps and lifts seldom attempted elsewhere, and that the standard of dancing in a Russian corps de ballet is far above that usually seen in other countries —nine years of ballet discipline is almost unheard of outside Russia.The period devoted to dance classes increases gradually from two or three hours a day to five or six. As in other institutions of higher learning, ballet students receive monthly government stipends（津贴）in their last four years, varying from 160 to 200 rubles ($16 to $20). Of the thirty pupils to begin ballet each year, fewer than twenty-five usually graduate; the others drop out because of poor health or lack of ability.Upon graduation, the starting salary for members of a corps de ballet is 100 rubles a month, while prima ballerinas receive 6,000. Russia‟s most famous ballet company, the Bolshoi, has first pick of each graduating class, but few dancers have the good fortune to begin with this company; all graduates, however, are assured of jobs in ballet.Stars such as Ulannova were produced in this fashion, with training started early and security , if not intellectual independence, guaranteed.41.Ballet training in Russia begins when a child ______.A. begins schoolB. is in the primary gradesC. finishes his academic workD. can walk42. Long training has enabled Russian ballet dancers to ______.A. give unusually long performancesB. develop new ballet figuresC. perform leaps and lifts seldom seen elsewhereD. overcome the limitations of ballet in the U.S.S.R.43. According to the selection, Russian corps de ballet have ______.A. unusually high standards of dancingB. greater discipline than the companies in any other countryC. more applicants than corps de ballet elsewhere44.

Students in institutions of higher learning in the U.S.S.R. receive stipends fromthe governmentB.Only the best students in the ballet classes receive government stipendsC.The author does not think that Soviet ballet is excellent in every respectD.Financial security is more important to Soviet ballet dancers than is ballet itselfPart III Cloze (10%) （理解、识记、掌握）（较易）Directions: There are 20 blanks in the following passage.
