Without him, the world might still be a dark place. However, the electric light was not his only invention. He also invented the phonograph, the motion picture camera, and over 1,200 other things. About every two weeks he created something new.Thomas A. Edison was born in Milan, Ohio, on February 11, 1847. His family moved to Port Huron, Michigan, when he was seven years old. Surprisingly, he attended school for only two months. His mother, a former teacher, taught him a few things, but Thomas was mostly self-educated. His natural curiosity led him to start experimenting at a young age with electrical and mechanical things at home.When he was 12 years old, he got his first job. He became a newsboy on a train thatran between Port Huron and Detroit. He set up a laboratory in a baggage car of the train so that he could continue his experiments in his spare time. Unfortunately, his first work experience did not end well. Thomas was fired when he accidentally set fire to the floor of the baggage car.Thomas then worked for five years as a telegraph operator, but he continued to spend much of his time on the job conducting experiments. He got his first patent in 1868 for a vote recorder run by electricity. However, the vote recorder was not a success. In 1870, he sold another invention, a stock-ticker, for $40,000. A stock-ticker is a machine that automatically prints stock prices on a tape. He was then able to build his first shop in Newark, New Jersey.Thomas Edison was totally deaf in one ear and hard of hearing in the other, but thought of his deafness as a blessing in many ways. It kept conversations short, so that he could have more time for work. He called himself a "two-shift man" because he worked 16 out of every 24 hours. Sometimes he worked so intensely that his wife had to remind him to sleep and eat.Thomas Edison died at the age of 84 on October 18, 1931, at his estate in West Orange, New Jersey. He left numerous inventions that improved the quality of life all over the world.1. Thomas Edison did things in this order:A. he became a telegraph operator, a newsboy, and then got his first patentB. he became a newsboy, got his first patent, and then became a telegraph operatorC. he got a patent, became a telegraph operator, and then became a newsboyD. he became a newsboy, a telegraph operator, and then got a patent2. Edison considered his deafness________.A. a disadvantageB. a blessingC. something from a priestD. a necessity3. Of all the inventions, __________ was probably the most important for civilization.A. the vote recorderB. the stock tickerC. the light bulbD. the motion picture camera4. The main idea of this passage is that _______.A. Thomas Edison was always interested in science and inventions, and he invented many important thingsB. Thomas Edison could not keep a jobC. Thomas Edison worked day and night on his experimentsD. deaf people make good inventors because they can focus without the distraction of spoken conversation5. Thomas Edison died in ______.A. OhioB. MichiganC. DetroitD. New Jersey2Christine Evert Lloyd is an American tennis champion and one of the top women players in the world. She is noted for her strong backhand and her intense concentration during a match.Christine Marie Evert was born in Fort Lauderdale, Florida. She learned to play tennis from her father. Because she learned to play on the slow clay tennis courts which are common in southern Florida, Evert is at her best on slow courts.In 1971, at the age of sixteen, Evert became the youngest player to reach the semifinals of the United States Open Tennis Championship. This was her first time to participate in the U. S. Open. In 1972, she turned professional and was able to accept money and other prizes for winning matches.In 1974, she won the women's singles title in two major tournaments. These titles were at Wimbledon, the British Championship, and the French Open, which is played on clay. Later she won the U. S. and Australian Opens, the two other major tennis Championships.Evert set an impressive record of wins on clay courts. From August 1973 to May 1979, a period of almost six years, Evert beat 125 opponents. Her unbelievable record will be remembered for a very long time in the sports world.In 1979, Evert married English tennis player John Lloyd.1. Wimbledon is the site of____.A. the U. S. OpenB. the British ChampionshipC. the French OpenD. both B and C2. A tennis competition between two people is called a tennis ____.A. gameB. championC. openD. match3. At her first U. S. Open, Evert was a ____.A. finalistB. semifinalistC. winnerD. champion4. How many major tennis championships are there mentioned in the passage?A. Four.B. Three.C. Two.D. One.5. The underlined word slow probably means ______.A. the tennis balls travel slowlyB. the player may hit the ball slowlyC. the tennis balls do not travel as fast after they hit the groundD. the competition is slow3Language is a way to communicate with each other. We started to learn language when we were born. However, people are used to speaking their native language, so immigrants are having many problems between the first generation and the second generation because they don't have the same native language. Also, the second generation is losing their identity. Especially in America, there are many immigrants that came from different countries to succeed in the States. Because they suffer in lots of areas such as getting a job and trying to speak English, they want their children to speak English, not only at school, but also at home in order to be more successful. Because of this situation, their children are losing their ethnic identity and, even more, they are ignoring their parents whose English is not very good.For example, my aunt, who has been living in Chicago for fifteen years, has three children and they were all born in the States. The eighteen year old daughter speaks English as a native language and she speaks Korean very well too. She has no problems talking with her parents, but she still doesn't understand Korean jokes, and there are sometimes misunderstandings. The second daughter is fourteen years old, and shedoesn't want to speak Korean. My aunt often gets upset with her because she is very Americanized and they cannot understand each other. Even when my aunt punishes her, this daughter does not understand what my aunt is talking about. I felt sympathy for my aunt whenever my fourteen year old cousin said, "Mom, what is your problem?" The third child is a twelve year old son. He speaks English to his parents and my aunt speaks Korean to him as she does to the second daughter. He also has a problem communicating with his parents. My aunt is trying to teach him to speak both languages very well, but it is very hard for him because he speaks English all day and does not understand why he should learn to speak Korean.1.What do you think this article will be about?A. Learning a second language.B. Immigrants who become sick in the U.SC. Language and its effect on the identity of immigrants.D. Schools attended by immigrants to the U.S.2. Which of these statements is NOT true according to the first paragraph of the article?A. Second generation immigrants are usually eager to learn their parents' nativelanguage.B. It is often hard for first and second generation family members to communicate witheach other.C. Because second generation immigrant children often speak only English, they maylose their ethnic identity.D. Sometimes second generation immigrant children ignore their parents because oflanguage differences.3. Which of the following is NOT true about the 18 year old daughter?A. She was born in the U.S.B. She speaks only English very well; her Korean is poor.C. She gets along better with her parents than her brother and other sister do.D. She doesn't understand Korean jokes well.4. Which is NOT a reason that the 14 year old sister has problems with her mother?A. She doesn't want to speak Korean.B. She doesn't love her mother.C. She is very Americanized.D. She does not understand her mother when she gets punished.5. To whom does the mother speak Korean?A. Her oldest daughter only.B. All of her children.C. Her two daughters only.D. Only to her son.4Dear Assemblywoman(女议员)Weiner:I think the state assembly should pass a law prohibiting people from letting their cats run free. As a member of the assembly, you can introduce any bill you wish. There are three important reasons why you should propose this one:1. When cats run free, they lurk(潜伏)under bird feeders and kill defenseless songbirds. Every time I put up a bird feeder, I find at least one dead bird in my yard. I'm sure all those birds were killed by cats. And cats don't even eat the birds they kill. Songbirds belong in our parks and gardens, but cats don't. Dogs never kill poor little birds.2. Cats are always using my garden as a litter box. This is not only disgusting but also highly unsanitary. Children can't play in the garden when cats have been there. Dogs are usually kept on leashes, so they can't soil private property. Cats spread diseases when they use a garden as a litter box, so I think this should be stopped.3. Finally, letting cats run free is not even good for the cats. Sure, most cats want to go outside. Their owners like to give them everything they want, just like spoiled children. But cats that stay indoors live much longer than cats that run free. Cats are always getting hit by cars when they're allowed to run free.I'm sure that if you think about all the things I've said, you will work to pass a law prohibiting cats from running free. This will improve our environment, make our parks and gardens cleaner, and even help the cats themselves by making them live longer.Thank you for your attention to my request. And did I mention that I really love dogs? Idon't know why anyone would want a cat in the first place.Sincerely,Eve Harringford1.The writer's purpose in writing this letter is to ______.A. persuade the assemblywomanB. inform the assemblywoman of somethingC. entertain the readersD. tell a story2. Which sentence in paragraph 1 of the list is an invalid argument?A. When cats run free, they lurk under bird feeders and kill defenseless songbirds.B. And cats don't even eat the birds they kill.C. I'm sure all those birds were killed by cats.D. Songbirds belong in our parks and gardens, but cats don't.3. Which statement from the passage is a fact?A. The state assembly should pass a law prohibiting people from letting their cats run free.B. As a member of the assembly, you can introduce any bill you wish.C. Songbirds belong in our parks and gardens, but cats don't.D. Their owners like to give them everything they want, just like spoiled children.4. The author's tone in this letter can best be described as _______.A. objectiveB. explanatoryC. sympatheticD. annoyed5. The underlined word “litter box “ probably means _____.A. a little boxB. a box in gardenC. a box collecting pet’s dirtD. a box for pets三、完形填空Most people think of shark (鲨鱼) as huge, powerful, frightening predators (掠食动物), ready at any moment _1_ their sharp teeth to attack swimmers.

They gathered around the campfire and after hours discussion, they decided that they would not claim this land to themselves. They felt it should be accessible to everyone so they began a campaign to preserve this land for everyone’s enjoyment. Two years later, in the late 19th century, an act of Congress signed by President Ulysses S. Grant, proclaimed that the Yellow Stone region a public park. It was the first national park in the world.

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.Passage 1.Ever since human beings have inhabited the earth, they have made use of various forms of communication. Generally, this expression of thoughts and feelings has beenin the form of oral speech. When there is a language barrier, communication is accomplished through sign language in which motions stand for letters, words, and ideas. Tourists, the deaf, and the mute have had to resort to this form of expression. Many of these symbols of whole words are very picturesque and exact and can be used internationally, spelling, however, cannot.Body language transmits ideas or thoughts by certain actions, either intentionally or unintentionally. A wink can be a way of flirting or indicating that the party is only joking. A nod signifies approval, while shaking the head indicates a negative reaction.Other forms nonlinguistic language can be found in Braille (a system of raised dots read with the fingertips), signal flags, Morse code, and smoke signals. Road maps and picture signs also guide, warn, and instruct people.While verbalization is the most common form of language, other systems and techniques also express human thoughts and feelings.1.Which of the following best summarizes this passage?A.When language is a barrier, people will find other forms of communication.B.Everybody uses only one form of communication.C.Nonlinguistic language is invaluable to foreigners.D.Although other forms of communication exist, verbalization is the fastest.2.Which of the following statements is not true?A.There are many forms of communication in existence today.B.Verbalization is the most common form of communication.C.The deaf and mute use an oral form of communication.D.Ideas and thoughts can be transmitted by body language.3.Which form other than oral speech would be most commonly used among blindpeople?A. picture signsB. BrailleC. body languageD. signal flags4.How many different forms of communication are mentioned in the passage?A. 5B. 7C. 9D. 115.Sign language is said to be very picturesque and exact and can be usedinternationally except for ________.A. spelling C. whole wordsB. ideas D. expressionsPassage 2Some psychologists maintain that mental acts such as thinking are not performed in the brain alone, but that one’s muscles also participate. It may be sai d that we think with our muscles in somewhat the same way that we listen to music with our bodies.You surely are not surprised to be told that you usually listen to music not only with your ears but with your whole body. Few people can listen to music that is more or less familiar without moving their body or, more specifically, some part of their body. Often when one listens to a symphony concert on the radio, he is tempted to direct the orchestra (交响乐) even though he knows that there is a competent conductor on the job.Strange as this behavior may be, there is a very good reason for it. One cannot derive all possible enjoyment form music unless he participates, so to speak, in its performance. The listener “feels” himself into the music with more or less pronounced motions of his body.The muscles of the body actually participate in the mental process of thinking in the same way but this participation is less obvious because it is less pronounced.6.The process of thinking and that of listening are similar in that ________A.both are mental actsB.muscles participate in both processesC.both processes are performed by the entire bodyD.we derive equal enjoyment form them7.The pronounced body motions are a listener’s way of ________A.“feeling” the musicB.participating in the performanceC.deriving enjoyment from the musicD.all of the above8.Body movements are necessary in order for the listener to ________.A.hear the musicB.appreciate the musicC.enjoy the music fullypletely understand the music9.According to the passage, muscle participation in the process of thinking is________.A.deliberateB.obviousC.not really apparentD.very pronounced10.The best title for this passage is ________.A.an Ear for MusicB.Music AppreciationC.How Muscles Participate in Mental ActsD. A Psychological Definition of the Thinking ProcessPassage 3A computer is a machine designed to perform work mathematically and to store and select information that has been fed into it. It is run by either mechanical or electronic means. These machines can do a great deal of complicated work in a very short time.A large computer, for example, can add or subtract nine thousand times a second, multiply a thousand times a second, or divide five hundred times a second. Its percentage of error is about one in a billion digits. It has been estimated that human beings making calculations average about one mistake per two hundred digits.The heart of an electronic computer lies in its vacuum tubes, or transistors. Its electronic circuits work a thousand times faster than the nerve cells in the human brain. A problem that might take a human being two years to solve can be solved by a computer in one minute, but in order to work properly, a computer must be given instructions—it must be programmedComputers can be designed for many specialized purposes—they can be used to prepare payrolls (工资单), guide airplane flights, direct traffic, even to play chess.

He was content with very simple forms of shelter, made his own rough tools and weapons and provided food and clothing for him and his family from natural materials around him. As he became more civilized, however, he began to want better shelter, more efficient tools and weapons, and more comfortable and lasting clothing than could be provided by his own neighborhood or by the work of his own unskilled hands. For these things he had to turn to the skilled people such as smiths, leather workers or carpenters who were springing up everywhere. It was then that the questions of payment arose.At first he got what he wanted by a simple process of exchange. The smith who had not the time to look after land or cattle was glad to take meat or grain from the farmer in exchange for an ax or a plough. But as more and more goods which had not fixed exchange value came on the market, exchange became too complicated to be satisfactory. Another problem arose when those who made things wanted to get stocks of wood or leather, or iron, but had nothing to offer in exchange until their finished goods were ready.Thus the difficulties of exchange led by degrees to the invention of money. In some countries, easily handled things like seeds or shells were given a certain value and the farmer, instead of paying the smith for a new ax by giving him some meat or grain, gave him so many shells. If the smith had any shells left when he had bought his food, he could get stocks of the raw materials of his trade. In some countries quite large things such as cows or camels or even big flat stones were used for trade. Later, pieces of metal, bearing values according to the rarity of the metal and the size of the pieces, or coins were used. Money as we know it had arrived.16.Why were early men content with simple life?A.They did not have money.B.They had no better tools than their rough ones.C.They could provide food and clothing and simple shelter for themselves.D.They had been civilized.17.As men became more civilized they ________.A.all learnt to make what they wanted themselvesB.had to travel a lot to look for what they wantedC.got things from other people who knew how to make them betterD.found everything more expensive18.The simple process of exchange _________.A.only made things more complicatedB.was not at all satisfactoryC.could not easily fix exchange valueD.provided everyone with everything he needed19.The phrase “by degrees” means _________.A.naturallyB.slowlyC.step by stepD.quickly20.Money was not use until ________.A.an urgent need for it was feltB. a simple process of exchange came to be practicedC.nothing could be offered in exchangeD.the exchange of one thing for another became too complicated。

The subjects in his experiment were75college students.They represented all levels of ability in English:beginning,intermediate,and native-speaking students.To begin,the subjects listened to a recording of a native speaker reading a paragraph in English. Following the recording,the subjects took a15-question test to see which words they remembered, each question had four choices.The subjects had to circle the word they had heard in the recording. Some of the questions had four choices that sound alike.For example,weather,whether,wither, and wetter are four words that sound alike.Some of the questions had four choices that have the same meaning.Method,way,manner,and system would be four words with the same meaning.Finally the subjects took a language proficiency test.Henning found that students with a lower proficiency in English made more of their mistakes on words that sound alike;students with a higher proficiency made more of their mistakes on words that have the same meaning.Henning’s results suggest that beginning students hold the sound of words in their short-term memory,and advanced students hold the meaning of words in their short-term memory.6.Henning made the experiment in order to study.A.how students remember English vocabulary by short-term memoryB.how students learn English vocabularyC.how to develop students’ability in EnglishD.how long information in short-term memory is kept7.Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the passage?rmation in short-term memory is different from that in long-term memory.B.Long-term memory can be achieved only by training.C.It is easier to test short-term memory than long-term memory.D.Henning gave a separate test on vocabulary to his students.8.From Henning’s result we can see that.A.beginners have difficulty distinguishing the pronunciation of wordsB.advanced students remember words by their meaningC.it is difficult to remember words that sound alikeD.it is difficult to remember words that have the same meaning9.The word“subjects”in the passage means.A.memoryB.the theme of listening materialC.a branch of knowledge studiedD.the students experimented onPassage3Questions11to15are based on the following passage:The cowboy is the hero of many movies,.He is,even today,a symbol of courage and adventure. But what was the life of the cowboy really like?The cowboy’s job is clear from the word cowboy.Cowboy were men who took care of cows and other cattle.The cattle were in the West and in Texas.People in the cities of the East wanted beef these cattle.Trains could take the cattle east.But first the cattle had to get to the trains. Part of the cowboy’s job was to take the cattle hundreds of miles to the railroad town.The trips were called cattle drivers.A cattle drive usually took several months.Cowboys rode for sixteen hours a day.Because they rode so much,each cowboy brought along about eight horses.A cowboy changed horses several times each day.The cowboys had to make sure that cattle arrived safely.Before starting on a drive,the cowboys branded the cattle.They burned a mark on the cattle to show who they belonged to.But these marks didn’t stop rustlers,or cattle thieves.Cowboys had to protect the cattle from rustlers.Rustlers made the dangerous trip even more dangerous.Even though their work was very difficult and dangerous,cowboys did not earn much money.They were paid badly.Yet cowboys liked their way of life.They lived in a wild and open country.They lived a life of adventure and freedom.11.A cowboy is a symbol of.A.courage and adventureB.a hard life and big payC.movies in the pastD.cows and other cattle12.The cowboys’job was.A.to be a hero in real lifeB.to be a hero of the movieC.to take care of cattleD.to be a dangerous rustler13.During a cattle driver,cowboys took a group of cows from a wild and open country to.A.the West states and TexasB.the cities of the East StatesC.the people who eat beef in citiesD.the railroad towns hundred miles away14.On their way of cattle drivers,the cowboys protected the cattle by.A.burning a mark on their cowsB.keeping an eye on cattle thievesC.making the trip more dangerousD.looking after eight cows each person15.Cowboys enjoyed themselves because.A.they liked their way of lifeB.they made a lot of moneyC.they had a vary difficult jobD.they were heroes in moviesPassage4Questions16to20are based on the following passage:Successful innovations have driven many older technologies to extinction and have resulted in higher productivity,greater consumption of energy,increased demand of raw materials,accelerated flow of materials through the economy and increased quantities of metals and other substances in use each person.The history of industrial development abounds with examples.In1870,horses and mules were the prime source of power on U.S.farms.One horse or mule was required to support four human beings a ratio that remained almost constant for many decades. At that time,had a national commission been asked to forecast the population for1970,its answer probably would have depended on whether its consultants were of an economic or technological turn of mind.Had they been“economists”,they would probably have projected the1970horses or mule population to be more than50million.Had they been“technologists”,they would have recognized that the power of steam had already been harnessed to industry and to learn and ocean transport. They would have recognized further that it would be the prime source of power on the farm.Itwould have been difficult for them to avoid the conclusion that the horse and mule population would decline rapidly.16.According to the passage,what supplied most of the power on U.S.farms in1870?A.AnimalsB.HumansC.EnginesD.Water17.Which of the following is NOT mentioned by the author as a consequence of new technological developments?A.Older technologies die away.B.The quality of life is Improved.C.Overall productivity increase.D.More raw materials become necessary.18.It can be inferred from the passage that by1870.A.technology began to be more economicalB.the steam engine had been inventedC.the U.S.horse population was about10millionD.a national commission was about10million19.In the second paragraph,the author suggests that“economists”would.A.plan the economy through yearly forecastsB.fail to consider the influence of technological innovationC.value the economic contribution of farm animalsD.consult the national commission on the economy20.What is the author’s attitude toward changes brought on by technological innovations?A.He is excited about them.B.He accept them as natural.C.He is disturbed by them.D.He questions their usefulness.Questions16to20are based on the following passage:This semester I began to have a series of teacher nightmares,something that had not happened to me for years,not since my first year of teaching when I was in a perpetual state of dread.I would be rushing to get to class on time,trying to gather up notes from a maelstrom of papers on my desk,not certain what subject we were covering today,indeed not even certain what course I was teaching.My heart was pounding.I was late.I would not find my notes.A hundred people were waiting for me in the classroom,their pens poised to take down my every syllable,and I had nothing to say.Them Mr.Winthrop’s big blonde face with those dark eyes would loom at the door of my office,and with that mocking grin,he would say,“Professor,the class is waiting for you,”and I would faint dead onto the floor.Or sometimes in my dream I would make it to the podium(讲台),start to lecture on some aspect of criminal law or causation,only to have Mr.Winthrop raise his hand,and without even waiting to be called upon,presumably ask a question. Presumably because I could not make out his words.I could see his mouth moving underneath his baseball cap,and muffled sounds resounded in my ears,but I could not understand him.All eyes in the classroom were on me,and my students began to laugh,but not Mr.Winthrop.He continued to move his mouth,and I felt as if I was watching TV with the sound off except that my head was all a buzz with the laughter and the shuffling of feet as my students exited in disgust.Again, I ended the nightmare by fainting dead away onto the floor,and then I would wake up,my sheets damp from desperation.It was enough to make a man get out of bed and mix a drink at four in the morning even if he had the eight o’clock class.16.From this passage,it is indicated that.A.the first year of teaching is

loverC.the student who often teases the teacherD.the student who answers the teacher’s question in a humorous way19.In my nightmare,it would happen to me except that.A.I sometimes was very calm to see

(2 points for each, altogether 30 points) Directions:There are three passages followed by questions. Beneath each question there are four choices respectively marked by letters A, B, C and D. Choose the right answer for each question. Write your answers on the answer sheet.Passage 1Billy is 14 years old and in the ninth grade. He has a part-time job which gets him up every morning at 5 o'clock. He is a newspaper boy. Each morning,Billy leaves the house at 5:15 to go to the corner,where the newspapers are. The newspapers are delivered to the corner by truck at midnight. He always takes a wagon to carry them.In the winter, it is still dark when he gets up,but during the rest of the year it is light. Billy must deliver the newspapers to the houses of people on his route in all kinds of weather. He tries to put each paper on the porch(门廊)where it will be protected from wind and rain or snow. His customers think he does a good job. Sometimes they give him tips(小费).Billy earns about $ 70 per month,and he is saving some of the money to go to college. He spends the rest on records and clothes. Once a month,he has to collect money from his customers. Since many of them work during the day,Billy has to collect the money at night. Sometimes,when Billy is sick,his brother has to deliver the newspapers. Once,Billy's father had to help. Billy has seventy customers now,but he hopes to get more soon. Someday,if he gets more customers,Billy might win a prize for being an outstanding(突出的)newspaper boy. He wants to win a trip to Europe,but he will be happy if he wins a new bicycle.31. Keeping a part-time job tells us that Billy ______.[A] has to make a living by himself[B] can not get any support from his family[C] has to pay for his school tuition[D] is independent and self-confident32. He did his work ______.[A] perfectly well [B] twice a week[C] only for fun [D] to support his family33. To deliver newspapers means ______.[A] to post newspapers [B] to send newspapers[C] to sell newspapers[D] None of the above.34. One of the purposes of delivering newspapers is ______.[A] to get some money for college education[B] to have some tips[C] to have more customers[D] None of the above.35. The prize for an outstanding newspaper boy is ______.[A] a trip to Europe[B] a new bicycle[C] a tip[D] A or BPassage 2Friends or contemporaries(同龄人)are a great influence on the actions,thoughts,and words of young people. This influence,known as peer pressure,is quite common among children. Why are children so easily affected by what their peers do,think,or say?Most of us,children included,feel a strong need to be liked by others. We seek acceptance and friendship. In order to gain them,we act like our friends,and listen to their advice,whether or not it is helpful. Some of us even begin to think like our friends,sometimes at the expense of our own beliefs and values. An example that comes to mind is the young person who gets involved with drugs because his peer group is experimenting with them. Parents may try to exert pressure to keep him away from drugs,but frequently peer pressure is too great. This conflict between being your own person and,at the same time,responding to the pressures of a group remainsa problem for young people.36. The passage mainly talks about _____.[A] friendship[B] peer pressure[C] conflicts between young people and their parents[D] problems for young people37. In the third sentence of the second paragraph,"them" refers to _____.[A] children[B] strong needs to be liked by others[C] acceptance and friendship[D] our friends' advice38. "being your own person” in the last sentence most probably means _____.[A] acting according to your own beliefs and values[B] trying not to tell any lie[C] keeping yourself away from drugs[D] having enough self-confidence39. The second paragraph focuses on _____.[A] what peer pressure is[B] how young people start to take drugs[C] what parents should do for their children[D] why young people are easily influenced by their peers40. Who can influence us on the actions, thoughts? _____.[A] Teacher[B] Father[C] Mother[D] Friends and contemporariesPassage 3Background music may seem harmless,but it can have a powerful effect on those who hear it. Recorded background music first found its way into factories,shops and restaurants in the US. But it soon spread to other parts of the world. Now it is becoming increasingly difficult to go shopping or eat a meal without listening to music.To begin with,"muzak"(音乐广播网)was intended simply to create a soothing atmosphere. Recently,however,it's become big business - thanks in part to recent research. Dr. Ronald Milliman,an American marketing expert,has shown that music can boost(促进)sales or increase factory production by as much as a third.But,it has to be light music. A fast one has no effect at all on sales. Slow music can increase receipts by 38%. This is probably because shoppers slow down and have more opportunity to spot items they like to buy. Yet,slow music isn't always answer. found,for example,that in restaurants slow music meant customers took longer to eat their meals,which reduced overall sales. So restaurant owners might be well advised to play up-tempo music to keep the customers moving - unless of course,the resulting indigestion leads to complaints!41. The reason why background music is so popular is that ______.[A] it is harmless everywhere[B] it can boost sales in all places[C] it can help to create a soothing atmosphere[D] it can help to have more meals42. Background music means ______.[A] light music[B] slow music[C] fast music[D] the music you are listening to while you are doing something43. Restaurant owners complain about background music because ______.[A] it results in indigestion[B] it keeps customers moving[C] it increases their sales [D] it decreases their sales44. The word "up-tempo music"(para. 3 the last line but two) probably means ______.[A] slow music[B] light music[C] fast music[D] classical music45. According to this passage, we learned that ______[A] Dr. Milliman made background music.[B] background music spread to the world by Dr. Milliman.[C] Dr. Milliman found fast music meant customers took longer to eat.[D] background music can have a powerful effect on some people.IV. Translation. (2 points for each, altogether 10 points) Directions:There are five sentences followed by the translated versions in this section. Beneath each sentence there are four choices respectively marked by letters A, B, C and D. Choose the right translation for each sentence. Write your answers on the answer sheet.46.战争已经威胁了这些人们几十年,他们似乎已学会接受这一现实了。

His education was a b rief and most 24 one for a gentleman, and it was all the formal education he was to have, since, unlike some of the other young V irginian gentlemen of his 25 , he did not go on to a college.In terms of intellectual preparation and power, then, Washing ton is in sharp 26 with some other American 27 , such as John Adams, Thomas Jefferson, and James Madison. In later years, W ashing ton probably regretted his lack of 28 training. He never felt comfortable in formal debate, or in discussions that were not concerned with everyday , practical 29 . And in as much as he never learned to speak French, he refused to visit France b ecause he felt he would be embarrassed 30 speak d irectly to the statesmen of that cou ntry .

Reading Comprehension.Passage 1How can a single postage stamp be worth 16,800?Any mistake made in the printing of a stamp raises its value to st amp collectors. A mistake on one inexpensive postage stamp has made the stamp worth a million and a half times its original value.The mistake was made more than a hu ndred years ag o in the B ritish colony of Mauritius,a small island in the Indian Ocean. In 1847 an order for stamps was sent to a Lond on printer - Mauritius was to become the fourth country in the world to issue stamps.Before the order was filled and delivered,a ball was planned at Mauritius's Government House,and stamps were needed to send ou t the invitations. A local printer was instructed to copy the desig n for the stamps. He accidentally inscribed the words 'Post Office' instead of 'P ost Paid'o n the several hundred stamps that he printed.Today there are only 26 of these misprinted stamps left-fourteen One-Penny Orange Reds and twelve Two-penny Blues. Because of the Two-penny Blue's rareness and age,collectors have paid as much as 16,800 for it.31. A postage stamp's value to collectors is raised if __D____.[A] there are few others like it[B] there are no errors on the stamp[C] a mistake is made in the printing[D] both A and C32. Mauritius is the name of ___B___.[A] an island kingdom[B] a British colony[C] a province of India[D] a London printer33. The mistake on the locally printed postage stamps was in the __A____.[A] spelling of postage [B] size [C] price [D] color34. Implied but not stated:__D____[A] All correctly printed stamps are worthless.[B] Mauritians needed the stamps to send out invitations to a ball.[C] The printer was pu nished for his mistake.[D] Collectors are constantly looking for stamps with mistakes.35. The best title for this passage is _B_____.[A] The 'P ost Paid' Error[B] T he T wo-penny Blue[C] A London Printer's Error[D] How Mauritius Became FamousPassage 2When the weather is hot,you go to a lake or an ocean. When you are near a lake or an ocean,you feel cool. Why? The sun makes the earth hot,but it cannot make the water very hot. Although the air over the earth becomes hot,the air over the water stays cool. The hot air over the earth rises. Then the cool air over the water moves in and takes the place of the hot air. When you are near a lake or an ocean,you feel the cool air when it moves in. Y ou feel the wind. And the wind makes you cool.Of course,scientists cannot answer all of ou r questions. If we ask,"Why is the ocean full of salt?",scientists will say that the salt comes from rocks. When a rock gets very hot or very cold,it cracks. Rain falls into the cracks. The rain then carries the salt into the earth and into the rivers. The rivers carry the salt into the ocean. Bu t then we ask,"What happens to the salt in the ocean? The ocean d oes not get more salty every year." Scientists are not sure abou t the answer to this question.We know a lot abou t our world. Bu t there are still many answers that we do not have,and we are cu rious.36. The main idea of this passage is __C___.[A] people feel cool when they are near a lake or an ocean[B] scientists can explain everything we want to know[C] scientists can explain many things but not ev erything[D] the salt in the ocean comes from rocks37. You feel cool when you are near a lake or an ocean because __D___.[A] the water is cold[B] the earth is hot[C] the water is colder than the earth[D] cool air from the water mov es towards the land38. Now scientists know __A___.[A] what makes people feel cool near a lake or an ocean in summer[B] everything abou t the ocean[C] why the ocean does not get more and more salty[D] what happens to the salt in the ocean39. A rock cracks when __D___.[A] rain falls [B] it gets very hot[C] it gets very cold[D] either B or C40. People are always curious because __C___.[A] they know nothing abou t the world[B] they know little abou t the world[C] there are answers they do not hav e[D] either A or BPassage 3In the United States, it is not customary to telephone someone very early in the morning. If you telephone him early in the day, while he is shaving or having breakfast, the time of the call shows that the matter is very important and requires immediate attention. The same meaning is attached to telephone calls made after 11:00pm. If someone receives a call during sleeping hours, he assumes it is a matter of life or death. The time chosen for the call commu nicates its importance.If a late telephone call is regarded in the United States as a cause for concern, imagine the excitement and fear caused b y a crowd of people arriving at the door at 2:00pm. On an island in the south Pacific, a plant manager from the United States had just such an experience. The natives of the island met one nig ht to discuss a problem. When they arrived at a solu tion, they went to see the plant manager and woke him u p to tell him what had been decided. Unfortu nately, they did not know that it is a very serio us matter to wake u p Americans at such an hour. The plant manager, who did not understand the local culture, thought there was a fight and called the police. It never occu rred to him (or to the natives)that parts of the day have different meanings in different cultures.41. According to the U.S. custom, what does a very early telephone call mean to an American? __C___[A] V ery impolite.[B] Not usual.[C] V ery urgent.[D] Not necessary.42. At which of the following hou rs is a phone call NOT regarded as of primary importance? ___A__[A]11:00am.[B] 11:30pm.[C] 5:00am.[D] 12:00pm.43. Why did the natives go to the plant manager's home and wake him u p?__B___[A] To have a talk with him.[B] T o inform him of their decision.[C] To discuss a problem with him.[D] To tell him a problem they met with.44. What was the manager's immediate reaction to the natives'arrival?__D___[A] He thought the natives were mad.[B] He didn't take it seriously.[C] He called in a policeman to talk with the natives.[D] He believ ed there was a fight and called the police at once.45. What is most likely caused by a phone call or a visit at mid night? _D____[A] Concern.[B] Fear.[C] Excitement.[D] All of the abov e.IV. Blanking filling.

(2 point for each, altogether 30 points)Directions:There are three passages followed by questions. Beneath each question there are four choices respectivelymarked by letters A, B, C and D. Choose the right answer for each question. Write your answers on the answer sheet.Passage 1Billy is 14 years old and in the ninth grade. He has a part-time job which gets him up every morning at 5 o'clock. He is a newspaper boy. Each morning,Billy leaves the house at 5:15 to go to the corner,where the newspapers are. The newspapers are delivered to the corner by truck at midnight. He always takes a wagon to carry them.In the winter, it is still dark when he gets up,but during the rest of the year it is light. Billy must deliver the newspapers to the houses of people on his route in all kinds of weather. He tries to put each paper on the porch(门廊)where it will be protected from wind and rain or snow. His customers think he does a good job. Sometimes they give him tips(小费).Billy earns about $ 70 per month,and he is saving some of the money to go to college. He spends the rest on records and clothes. Once a month,he has to collect money from his customers. Since many of them work during the day,Billy has to collect the money at night. Sometimes,when Billy is sick,his brother has to deliver the newspapers. Once,Billy's father had to help. Billy has seventy customers now,but he hopes to get more soon. Someday,if he gets more customers,Billy might win a prize for being an outstanding(突出的)newspaper boy. He wants to win a trip to Europe,but he will be happy if he wins a new bicycle.31. Keeping a part-time job tells us that Billy __D____.[A] has to make a living by himself[B] can not get any support from his family[C] has to pay for his school tuition[D] is independent and self-confident32. He did his work ____A__.[A] perfectly well [B] twice a week[C] only for fun [D] to support his family33. To deliver newspapers means ___B___.[A] to post newspapers [BA] to send newspapers[C] to sell newspapers [D] None of the above.34. One of the purposes of delivering newspapers is A______.[A] to get some money for college education[B] to have some tips[C] to have more customers[D] None of the above.35. The prize for an outstanding newspaper boy is __D____.[A] a trip to Europe [B] a new bicycle[C] a tip [D] A or BPassage 2Friends or contemporaries(同龄人)are a great influence on the actions,thoughts,and words of young people. This influence,known as peer pressure,is quite common among children. Why are children so easily affected by what their peers do,think,or say?Most of us,children included,feel a strong need to be liked by others. We seek acceptance and friendship. In order to gain them,we act like our friends,and listen to their advice,whether or not it is helpful. Some of us even begin to think like our friends,sometimes at the expense of our own beliefs and values. An example that comes to mind is the young person who gets involved with drugs because his peer group is experimenting with them.Parents may try to exert pressure to keep him away from drugs,but frequently peer pressure is too great. This conflict between being your own person and,at the same time,responding to the pressures of a group remains a problem for young people.36. The passage mainly talks about __B___.[A] friendship[B] peer pressure[C] conflicts between young people and their parents[D] problems for young people37. In the third sentence of the second paragraph,"them" refers to __C___.[A] children[B] strong needs to be liked by others[C] acceptance and friendship[D] our friends' advice38. "being your own person” in the last sentence most probably means _A____.[A] acting according to your own beliefs and values[B] trying not to tell any lie[C] keeping yourself away from drugs[D] having enough self-confidence39. The second paragraph focuses on ____D_.[A] what peer pressure is[B] how young people start to take drugs[C] what parents should do for their children[D] why young people are easily influenced by their peers40. Who can influence us on the actions, thoughts? _D____.[A] Teacher[B] Father[C] Mother[D] Friends and contemporariesPassage 3Background music may seem harmless,but it can have a powerful effect on those who hear it. Recorded background music first found its way into factories,shops and restaurants in the US. But it soon spread to other parts of the world. Now it is becoming increasingly difficult to go shopping or eat a meal without listening to music.To begin with,"muzak"(音乐广播网)was intended simply to create a soothing atmosphere.
