Directions:In this part, there are 2 passages followed by 10 questions or unfinished statements. Read the passages carefully, then answer the questions in the fewest possible words (not exceeding 10 words). Remember to write the answers on the Answer Sheet.

Questions 61 to 64 are based on the following passage.

London's public transport system is no longer the “sick man” but the “jewel in the crown” of the capital's 2012 Olympic dream, bid chiefs said last night.

Transport experts told the International Olympic Committee scrutinizing

Britain's chances that London's railways and roads would soon be the envy of the world.

Once improvements were in place, athletes would spend time “competing not commuting”, bid leader Lord Coe told the IOC panel on the fi rst day of their visit.

The need for an overhaul came after the IOC criticised London's “obsolete” public transport systems in a report last May.

Yesterday the London 2012 bid made a series of promises including:

￡10 billion of investments including a ￡1 billion East London line extension, longer Jubilee line trains and Northern line upgrades.

A train serving the main Olympic Park at Stratford, East London, every 15 seconds, on ten different rail lines.

Twelve-carriage, 225kph (140mph) javelin trains using the Channel Tunnel Rail Link and taking passengers between Straford and King's Cross in six-and-a-half minutes.

Tube trains running until 2:30 a.m. every day of the Olympics.

Connecting services which will allow visitors to reach the Olympic Park from 309 stations.

The 13-member IOC panel will today have its first taste of the Underground, with a Jubilee line trip to the Millennium Dome. They will also treavel on the Channel Tunnel Rail Link, watching a video outlining the transport improvements to be delivered every year up to 2012.

But they will spend most of their time on coaches as they travel to such key sites as Wembley and Wimbledon.

Transport Minister Tony McNulty admitted there were concerns about how London would cope with 500,000 extra visitors a day. But Transport for London said the Olympic fortnight in August would lead to only a five percent increase in passengers—when 20 percent of London's commuters were on holiday.

Questions:

61. According to Paragraph 1, London's public transport system used to be

________ .

62. The word “scrutinizing” in Line 1, Paragraph 2 means ________ .

63. The need for an overhaul came because of a report given by the ________ .

64. The title of the passage probably is ________ .

Questions 65 to 70 are based on the following passage.

Just as you will have to prepare yourself for a period of psychological disorientation when you leave the USA, you should know that after your time abroad, you may also have to prepare yourself for a parallel period of readjustment when you return “home”. Why? Simply because, if you have had a full experience living and learning overseas, you are likely to have changed some while you have been away. So the place you return to may itself appear to have changed, as indeed it might have. Even though these changes are seldom huge, and may not be apparent to others, you are likely to be very aware of them, and this can be confusing, all the more so because it is unexpected. Brigham Young University's Culture Grams offer many insights on customs and lifestyles of individual countries. Phone 1-800-528-6279 or visit the website at https://www.360docs.net/doc/6b3516971.html,.

Immediately after you return, you can probably expect to go through an initial stage of euphoria and excitement. Most people are overwhelmed by the sheer joy of being back on their native land. But as you try to settle back into your former routine, you may recognize that your overseas experiences has changed some of many of your perc eptions and assumptions, your ways of doing things, even what it means to “be yourself”. You might have become, in a sense, a somewhat new person. After all, that is what education is all about! But this intellectual and personal growth means that you can expect a period of disorientation as you adjust to the “new” environment at home.

The readjustment period is usually rather short-lived, since “home” will never be as “foreign” to you as the foreign environment you adjusted to overseas. Also, your experience of dealing successfully with culture shock abroad will have provided you with the psychological tools for dealing with the challenges of readjustment.

Obviously, the more you have immersed yourself, the more difficult

it will be to have things go back to a previous notion of normality.

However, if you are aware of the changes (and seek to learn from them),

smooth adaptation is more likely.

Questions：

65． What is the main idea of the first paragraph？

66． For what reason do you have to readjust yourself after returning from abroad？

67．The word “euphoria”（Para. 2）probably means ________ .

68． The readjustment will not take much of your time. Why?

69. ________ is more likely if you are conscious of the changes.

70． Give a proper title for this passage.

Directions:In this part, there is 1 passage followed with 10 statements. Read the passage and decide which of the statements at the end of the passage are true and which are false. Remember to write the answers on the Answer Sheet.

Questions 71 to 80 are based on the following passage.

Enya was born in 1961, 17 May, and spent her childhood in Gweedore. There are nine brothers and sisters in the family, four other girls and four boys. All the family have won many competitions and are famous in national traditional music circles.

Whilst at school, Enya studied the piano and classical music. Three of her brothers and sisters, formed, together with their uncles, a folk music group (at first

with a certain American feel and then more purely Irish, though influenced by jazz and by others such as Pentangle). The group was named Clannad, a contraction of “the family from Gweedore” in Irish. In 1980, at the suggestion of their manager, Fachtna O'Kelly, Enya became a member of the group. She performed with Clannad on many occasions, until, in February 1982, on completing a European tour, she left the group, no one really knowing why.

It was also Fachtna O'Kelly who suggested to Enya after she left Clannad, that she devote herself to composing for films. And so, in 1984, she approached her first important task. Roma Ryan had sent a cassette of Enya to film producer David Puttnam. Puttnam asked her to compose dreamy and romantic music with a sixties feel for the feature film The Frog Prince.

Having a studio at her disposal, Enya worked almost always at home with the Roland Juno 60 synthesizer or the Kurzweil sampler, and then added piano and voice. Nicky Ryan recorded everything and helped to put the compositions into their final form.

Enya's first record subsequently climbed to number one in the Irish charts, which started the commercial rise of Enya. She collaborated with the singer Sinéad O'Connor reciting a short text on “Never Get Old” from her album The Lion And The Cobra.

She signed with an important multinational, and had a resounding success with her second album Watermark, which has passed 10 million sales worldwide, and has gone platinum in 14 different countries, helped by the single“Orinoco Flow”, a No 1hit in Britain. Then she repeated her world success with Shepherd Moons, which spent an amazing 199 weeks on the Billboard charts in the USA and has sold over 11 million copies.

Statements:

71. All the family are well known in national traditional music circles.

72. Three of Enya's brothers and sisters with their uncles formed a purely American folk music group at first.

73. In 1982, Enya left Clannad.

74. It was Fachtna O'Kelly who suggested Enya join Clannad and then quit it.

75. In 1984, Enya acted in a film for the first time.

76. Nicky recorded everything and helped Enya to put the different elements into her music.

77. Enya's first record finally climbed to number one in the Irish charts.

78. Enya worked together with the singer Sinéad O'Conn or reciting a short text on “Never Get Old”.

79. Enya's second album Watermark has been translated into different versions in 14 counties.

80. The single “Orinoco Flow” from Watermark spent an amazing 199 weeks on the Billboard charts.

Reading for pleasure is the easiest way to become a better reader in English. It is also the most important way.

Some students say they don't want to read for pleasure. They say they want to use their t 81 with grammar lessons and vocabulary drills. They say that pleasure reading is too e 82 .

A 83 to many experts, pleasure reading is very important for learning English. Dr. Stephen Krashen, a famous expert on l 84 language, says that pleasure reading helps you learn many i 85 things about English. Students learn more grammar and vocabulary when they read for pleasure. They also learn more

a 86 good writing.

Professor Krashen explains that pleasure reading helps each student in a

d 87 way. Each student needs to learn something different. Pleasur

e reading makes it possible for each student to learn w 88 he or she needs.

Reading for pleasure is not the same as studying. When you read for pleasure, you choose your own books, and you d 89 have to remember everything. There are no t 90 on your pleasure reading books.

全国大学生英语能力竞赛资料

2016年全国大学生英语能力竞赛攻略学长分享英语竞赛技巧：知己知彼百战不殆”，要想在全国大学生英语竞赛中取得好成绩，平时的积累是基础，而考前对考试的研究和分析以及练习则是升华。近几年来英语竞赛也在不断调整中。对我们来说，最重要的参考资料就是当年的竞赛样题，和官网的考试说明文件，从中我们可以了解到考试的题型、分值、时间分配、难度和新变化。只有这样我们才能对症下药，合理分配考试时间，获得最好的成绩。其实考试，一言以蔽之，就是尽量的规定时间内拿到最高的分数，分数越高，就意味着你越成功。由于每年试题结构、题型等都会有所变化，下面就以2010年的英语竞赛初赛试题为例，分析一下时间安排。今年初赛试题共分为七部分，时间120分钟，满分150分。七部分分别为听力、词汇与语法结构、完形填空、阅读理解、翻译、智力测试和写作。下面就分别进行分析。第一部分是听力，由四部分组成，第一部分是五篇短对话，然后是两篇长对话，第三部分是五篇短新闻，第四部分是听写式填空。总分是30分，总的来说，听力的难度不算很大，应该是介于四、六级之间，大部分都可以直接从对话中找到原句和答案。但是还是有一定难度的。首先，前20道选择题都只读一遍，这和一般的考试不同，所以对选手就提出了更高的要求，必须从一开始就高度集中注意力，才能不遗漏重要信息。此外，听写式填空也是对基本知识的一个考查，经常有同学听到了却不会写，这需要我们打好自己的基础。这一部分要力争拿到20分以上。第二部分是词汇与语法结构，这也是对“双基”知识的一个考查，可以说基本上是考查基本功的，当然我们也要注意，这其中对话类的应用题目也呈逐年上升的趋势。总分15分，官方建议完成时间是十分钟。这一部分要力争拿到10分以上。第三部分是完形填空，也是我认为全卷除了智力测试以外最难的题目，题型包括根据上下文填空、根据给出的首字母填空、根据给出的单词的适当形式填空。分值是十分，官方建议完成时间是10分钟。这题不仅考查你的基本词汇语法知识，也考查你对文章的理解和把握。可以说是阅读+词汇的结合。要拿高分很难，但是其实还是有一些分好拿的，这一部分我们要力争拿到4分以上。第四部分是阅读理解，总分40分，官方建议完成时间是25分钟。这是全卷分值最大的一道大题，也是时间最紧的。我估计绝大多数同学在25分钟内都没办法全部完成（我也很勉强）。这一部分我觉得最重要的还是把握文章的开头和结尾，了解主旨，然后根据题目去快速定位，因为这里的题目大部分都是在原文可以找到答案的。这一部分阅读量大、题型多样（包括选择题、问答题、是/否/未提及题，摘抄题、填空题等）、也是对同学英语应用能力的有力考查，还是要熟能生巧，在平时多加练习，力争达到又对又快的境界，这一部分要力争拿到25分以上。第五部分是翻译，包括英译汉和汉译英两部分。共20分，官方建议完成时间是15分钟。这一部分可以说是全卷最简单的题型，考查的内容都没超过四级甚至是平常练习的难度，对英译汉，还是要花点时间看看文章开头和结尾，“磨刀不误砍柴工”，很多翻译都要根据上下文进行，才能更加的到位。有时在翻译中遇到生词，也可以根据上下文进行推断。比如今年的汉译英试题中多次提到“dropout”这个单词，我考试时也忘了这是什么意思，最后还是通过文章最后
