we are all busy talking about and using the internet, but how many of us know the history of the internet?

many people are surprised when they find that the internet was set up as recently as the 1960s. at that time, computers were large and expensive. computer networks didn‘t work well. if one computer in the network broke down, then the whole network stopped. so a new network system had to be set up. it should be good enough to be used by many different computers. if part of the network was not working, information could be sent through another part. in this way the computer network system would keep on working all the time.

at first the internet was only used by the government, but in the 1970s, universities, hospitals and banks began to use it, too. however, computers were still very expensive and the internet was difficult to use. at the beginning of the 1990s, computers became cheaper and easier to use. and scientists

developed software that made internet ―surfing‖ more convenient.

today it is easy to get online and it is said that millions of people use the internet every day.

passage four

there is a measurable relation between how much a person learns and his attitude toward the subject to be learned. when faced with a difficult learning task, one path to success is to concentrate on the positive aspects of the subject matter. if a student has a boring teacher, one solution is to look for the positive aspects of completing the course, regardless of how boring the teacher happens to be. to accomplish this might

require a private tutor or some independent reading, but with the right attitude, success is possible.

over-achievers – students who do better than their test scores show – usually have a positive interest toward learning. they may learn some things more slowly, and they may make more efforts, but, to compensate (补偿), they are often better at applying what they have learned. as long as they do not have emotional problems, they are successful.

under-achievers – those who function below their ability shown by test scored – often tend to allow a few negative factors to affect them. because of their negative attitudes, they sometimes become unfairly critical of teachers. they allow themselves to get bored when it is not necessary. in short,

their attitudes often cause them to learn less than over-achievers.

if you learn to replace a negative attitude toward learning with something more positive, you are on the road to achieving almost any goal you desire. for example, if you realize a personal computer with a word processor would improve your performance, but have an attitude that keeps telling you that a computer is difficult to operate, you tend to make all kinds of excuses. in short, you resist making full use of a terrific tool, simply because your negative attitude prevents you from learning.

a. look for a new course.

b. be critical of the teacher.

c. complete the course with a good score.

d. have a right attitude toward the teacher. a. their test scores b. their judgment of others

c. their attitudes toward learning

d. their skills in using computers

33. the underlined phrase function below their ability shown

by test scoresa. often get low scores in tests

b. do worse in actual learning than in tests

c. usually do better in tests than the over-achievers

d. are always slow in learning and have to make more efforts a. finding excuses helps in learning b. to react negatively can be harmful

c. hard-working is the key to success

d. making use of the computer is important

a. attitudes play an important role in learning.

b. students should learn how to use personal computers.

c. teachers are not so important in the learning process.

d. there are many differences between over-and under-achievers.

part iii vocabulary and structure (20 points)

part iireading comprehension (40%)

section a

directions: there are 3 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 write the corresponding letter on

the answer sheet.(30%)

passage one

questions 11 to 15 are based on the following passage:

rising global carbon dioxide levels tied to global warming may not be as crucial in determining the composition of plant communities as other, localized climate changes.

“nobody really knows what the increases in carbon dioxide

are going to entail in terms of future changes in vegetation types,” said mark brenner, a university of florida assistant professor of paleontology, the study of ancient lakes. “it looks like climate changes in different areas may be more important than carbon dioxide, at least carbon dioxide by itself,” he said. brenner’s research team based their conclusions on an analysis of sediment from two lake bottoms, one in northern mexico and one in northern guatemala. the researchers used new techniques that allowed them to analyze only the remains of land plants, specifically their leaf waxes. by measuring the composition of the leaf waxes, the researchers were able to distinguish two broad categories of plants living in these areas --- so-called c3 and c4 plants, which have different photosynthetic processes. many c4 plants are tropical grasses, while most tropical trees are c3 plants. the researchers analyzed sediments deposited over the last 27,000 years, from the last ice age to the current geological period. over this period, there was a worldwide, relatively uniform increase in atmospheric carbon dioxide concentrations.

brenner said that if carbon dioxide played the major role in determining plant composition, one would assume that analysis of the sediments would reveal very similar changes in relative abundance of c3 and c4 plants in the two places over the study period. but, in fact, the researchers found that trends in the two types of plants were different at the two locations. the changes were related not with carbon dioxide levels, but with shifts in rainfall. “the result appears to be that climate

factors, especially moisture availability, determine whether c4 or c3 plants dominate in an area, not carbon dioxide,” brenner said.

many scientists believe global warming will cause major variation in local climates worldwide, with some wet areas becoming dry and dry areas becoming wet. if that happens, it could have more impact on relative c3 versus c4 plant distribution than the rising carbon dioxide levels.

11. what can be inferred in the first paragraph?

a). climate changes are more important to the composition of plant communities than rising

global carbon dioxide.

b). localized climate shifts may not be as crucial as carbon dioxide.

c). nobody knows which one is important.

d). carbon dioxide levels is crucial to the global warming.

12. what is mark brenner?

a). he studies co-author’s opinion.

b). he is assisting the university of florida.

c). he is an expert in the field of ancient lakes.

d). his research team composed of six geologists and geographers.

13. according to the third paragraph, which one is not true?

a). tropical grasses are usually c4 plants.

b). c3 and c4 plants used to live in northern mexico and guatemala.

c). c3 and c4 plants don’t have the same processes.

d). tropical trees are all c3 plants.

14. why, in the 4th paragraph, the researchers found that trends in c3 and c4 plants were different

at the two locations?

a). the assumption that carbon dioxide played the major role is wrong.

b). the carbon dioxide played an important role.

c). the moisture availability was different.

d). the carbon dioxide level was different.

15. what’s the main idea of the passage?

a). climates factors determine the plant distribution and composition of plant communities.

b). global warming will cause major variation.

c). how has brenner’s research team proved a truth.

d). c3 and c4 plants are important plants in determining the composition of plant communities.

passage two

questions 16 to 20 are based on the following passage:

between about 1910 and 1930, new artistic movements in european art were making themselves felt in the united states. american artists became acquainted with the new art on their trips to paris and at the exhibitions in the famous new york gallery 291 (named after its address on fifth avenue) of the photographer alfred stieglitz. but most important in the spread of the modern movements in the united states was the sensational armory show of 1913 held in new york, in which the works of many of the leading european artists were seen along with the works of a number of progressive american painters.

several of the american modernists who were influenced by the armory show found the urban landscape, especially new york, an appealing subject. compared with the works of the realist painters, the works of american modernists were much further removed from the actual appearance of the city; they were more interested in the feel of the city, more concerned with the meaning behind appearance. however, both the painters of the ash can school and the later realists were still tied to nineteenth century or earlier styles, while the early modernists shared in the international breakthroughs of the art of the twentieth century.

the greatest of these breakthroughs was cubism, developed most fully in france between 1907 and 1914, which brought about a major revolution in western painting. it overturned the rational tradition that had been built upon since the renaissance (文化复兴)- in cubism, natural

forms were broken down analytically into geometric shapes. no longer was a clear differentiation made between the figure and the background of a painting: the objects represented and the surface on which they were painted became one. the cubists abandoned the conventional single vantage

(优越的地位) point of the viewer, and objects depicted from multiple viewpoints were shown at the same

16. with what topic is the passage primarily concerned?

a) the development of cubism.

b) modern art movements in the united states.

c) contemporary artists in the united states.

d) the influence of photography on landscape painters.

17. it can be inferred from the passage that european art trends probably affected united states art

most during which of the following years?

a) 1901.b) 1908.

c) 1913.d) 1936.

18. which of the following is not mentioned as a means through which american artists learned

about new movements?

a) lessons from successful artists.

b) the exhibitions at the gallery 291.

c) trips to europe.

d) the armory show of 1913.

19. why does the author mention alfred stieglitz?

a) to demonstrate that photography was the major influence in modern art.

b) to compare him with other artists of the time.

c）to point out that many artists learned their craft by studying with him.

d) to give an example of someone who had an influence on modern art.

20. according to the author, which of the following was a favorite subject for american

modernists?

a) portraits of famous people. b) country scenes.

c) pictures of buildings interiors. d) city landscapes.

passage three

questions 21 to 25 are based on the following passage:

what are the zebra stripes on the tomato soup cans and potato chip bags? they are special black and white vertical lines. these black and white stripes can be read by an optical scanner, or computer. the scanner, which reads the lines of code, is a small laser beam of light. when the light ray is broken by the black stripes, the computer reads the information about the product.

the code is called the universal product code (upc). it is designed to add speed and efficiency to stores by using

computers. it can do this in several ways. first, it is not necessary for workers to put individual prices on items. errors in prices are eliminated, or done away with. also, the time spent checking out is reduced. upc gives an itemized receipt to the customer with all the items, prices, and totals. the store clerk does not need to spend time checking the price on the item and punching it into cash register. this upc computerized system will probably save as much as 45 percent of the checkout clerks time.

what do the stripes mean? how does the computer interpret the stripes? the number printed below the vertical bars identifies the manufacturer and the manufacturers item. as many as 10
