(10 points)The idea that plants have some degree of consciousness first took root in the early 2000s; the term “plant neurobiology” was 1 around the notion that some aspects of plant behavior could be 2 to intelligence in animals. 3 plants lack brains, the firing of electrical signals in their stems and leaves nonetheless triggered responses that 4 consciousness, researchers previously reported.But such an idea is untrue, according to a new opinion article. Plant biology is complex and fascinating, but it 5 so greatly from that of animals that so-called 6 of plants’ intelligence is inconclusive, the authors wrote.Beginning in 2006, some scientists have 7 that plants possess neuron-like cells that interact with hormones and neurotransmitters, 8 “a plant nervous system, 9 to that in animals,” said lead study author Lincoln Taiz, “They 10 claimed that plants have ‘brain-like command centers’ at their root tips.”This 11 makes sense if you simplify the workings of a complex brain, 12 it to an array of electrical pulses; cells in plants also communicate through electrical signals. 13 , the signaling in a plant is only 14 similar to the firing in a complex animal brain, which is more than “a mass of cells that communicate by electricity,” Taiz said.“For consciousness to evolve, a brain with a threshold 15 of complexity and capacity is required,” he 16 . “Since plants don’t have nervous systems, the 17 that they have consciousness are effectively zero.”And what’s so great about consciousness, anyway? Plants can’t run away from 18 , so investing energy in a body system which 19 a threat and can feel pain would be a very 20 evolutionary strategy, according to the article.1.A.coined B.discovered C.collected D.issued2.A.attributed B.directed C. compared D.confined3.A.unless B.when C.once D.though4.A.coped with B.consisted of C.hinted at D.extended5.A.suffers B.benefits C.develops D.differs6.A.acceptance B.evidence C.cultivation D.creation7.A.doubted B.denied C.argued D.requested8.A.adapting B.forming C.repairing D.testing9.A.analogous B.essential C.suitable D.sensitive10.A.just B.ever C.still D.even11.A.restriction B.experiment C.perspective D.demand12.A.attaching B.reducing C.returning D.exposing13.A.However B.Moreover C.Therefore D.Otherwise14.A.temporarily B.literally C.superficially D.imaginarily15.A.list B.level bel D.local16.A.recalled B.agreed C.questioned D.added17.A.chances B.risks C.excuses D.assumptions18.A.danger B.failure C.warning D.control19.A.represents B.includes C.reveals D.recognizes20.A.humble B.poor C.practical D.easySectionⅡReading ComprehensionPart ADirections:Read the following four texts.

Water bottles, shopping bags,and other trash litter the planet, from Mount Everest to the Mariana Trench, because plastics are everywhere and don’t break down easily. But some plastic materials change over time. They crack and frizzle. They “weep” out additives. They melt into sludge. All of which creates huge headaches for institutions, such as museums, trying to preserve culturally important objects. The variety of plastic objects at risk is dizzying: early radios, avant-garde sculptures, celluloid animation stills from Disney films, the first artificial heart.Certain artifacts are especially vulnerable because some pioneers in plastic art didn’t always know how to mix ingredients properly, says Thea van Oosten, a polymer chemist who, until retiring a few years ago, worked for decades at the Cultural Heritage Agency of the Netherlands. “It’s like baking a cake: If you don’t have exact amounts, it goes wrong,” she says. “The object you make is already a time bomb.”And sometimes, it’s not the artist’s fault. In the 1960s, the Italian artist Picro Gilardi began to create hundreds of bright, colorful foam pieces. Those pieces included small beds of roses and other items as well as a few dozen “nature carpets” —large rectangles decorated with foam pumpkins, cabbages, and watermelons. He wanted viewers to walk around on the carpets—which meant they had to be durable.Unfortunately, the polyurethane foam he used is inherently unstable. It’s especially vulnerable to light damage, and by the mid-1990s, Gilardi’s pumpkins, roses, and other figures were spitting and crumbling. Museums locked some of them away in the dark.So van Oosten and her colleagues worked to preserve Gilardi’s sculptures. They infused some with stabilizing and consolidating chemicals. Van Oosten calls those chemicals “sunscreens” because their goal was to prevent further light damage and rebuild worn polymer fibers. She is proud that several sculptures have even gone on display again, albeit sometimes beneath protective cases.Despite success stories like van Oosten’s, preservation of plastics will likely get harder. Old objects continue to deteriorate. Worse, biodegradable plastics designed to disintegrate, are increasingly common.And more is at stake here than individual objects. Joana Lia Ferreira, an assistant professor of conservation and restoration at the NOV A School of Science and Technology, notes that archaeologists first defined the great material ages of human history—Stone Age, Iron Age, and so on—after examining artifacts in museums. We now live in an age of plastic, she says, “and what we decide to collect today, what we decide to preserve...will have a strong impact on how in the future we’ll be seen.”21.According to Paragraph 1,museums are faced with difficulties in_____.[A] maintaining their plastic items.[B] obtaining durable plastic artifacts.[C] handling outdated plastic exhibits.[D] classifying their plastic collections.22. Van Oosten believes that certain plastic objects are_____.[A] immune to decay[B] improperly shaped[C] inherently flawed[D] complex in structure23.Museums stopped exhibiting some of Gilardi’s artworks to_____.[A] keep them from hurting visitors[B] duplicate them for future display[C] have their ingredients analyzed[D] prevent them from further damage24. The author thinks that preservation of plastics is_____.[A] costly[B] unworthy[C] unpopular[D] challenging25.In Ferreira’s opinion, preservation of plastic artifacts_____.[A] will inspire future scientific research[B] has profound historical significance[C] will help us separate the material ages[D] has an impact on today's cultural lifeText 2As the latest crop of students pen their undergraduate application form and weigh up their options, it may be worth considering just how the point, purpose and value of a degree has changed and what Generation Z need to consider as they start the third stage of their educational journey.Millennials were told that if you did well in school, got a decent degree, you would be set up for life. But that promise has been found wanting. As degrees became universal, they became devalued. Education was no longer a secure route of social mobility. Today, 28 per cent of graduates in the UK are in non-graduate roles, a percentage which is double the average among OECD countries.This is not to say that there is no point in getting a degree, but rather stress that a degree is not for everyone, that the switch from classroom to lecture hall is not an inevitable one and that other options are available.Thankfully, there are signs that this is already happening, with Generation Z seeking to learn from their millennial predecessors, even if parents and teachers tend to be still set in the degree mindset. Employers have long seen the advantages of hiring school leavers who often prove themselves to be more committed and loyal employees than graduates. Many too are seeing the advantages of scrapping a degree requirement for certain roles.For those for whom a degree is the desired route, consider that this may well be the first of many. In this age of generalists, it pays to have specific knowledge or skills. Postgraduates now earn 40 per cent more than graduates. When more and more of us have a degree, it makes sense to have two.It is unlikely that Generation Z will be done with education at 18 or 21; they will need to be constantly up-skilling throughout their career to stay employable. It has been estimated that this generation, due to the pressures of technology, the wish for personal fulfilment and desire for diversity, will work for 17 different employers over the course of their working life and have five different careers. Education, and not just knowledge gained on campus, will be a core part of Generation Z’s career trajectory.Older generations often talk about their degree in the present and personal tense: “I am a geographer”or “I am a classist.” Their sons or daughters would never say such a thing; it’s as if they already know that their degree won’t define them in the same way.26.The author suggests that Generation Z should_____.[A] be careful in choosing a college[B] be diligent at each educational stage[C] reassess the necessity of college education[D] postpone their undergraduate application27.The percentage of UK graduates in non-graduate roles reflect _____.[A] Millennial’s opinions about work[B] the shrinking value of a degree[C] public discontent with education[D] the desired route of social mobility28.The author considers it a good sign that_____.[A] Generation Z are seeking to earn a decent degree[B] School leavers are willing to be skilled workers[C] Employers are taking a realistic attitude to degrees[D] Parents are changing their minds about education29.It is advised in Paragraph 5 that those with one degree should_____.[A] make an early decision on their career[B] attend on the job training programs[C] team up with high-paid postgraduates[D] further their studies in a specific field30.What can be concluded about Generation Z from the last two paragraphs?[A] Lifelong learning will define them.[B] They will make qualified educators.[C] Depress will no longer appeal them.[D] They will have a limited choice of jobs.Text 3Enlightening, challenging, stimulating, fun.These were some of the words that Nature readers used to describe their experience of art-science collaborations in a series of articles on partnerships between artists and researchers. Nearly 40% of the roughly 350 people who responded to an accompanying poll said, they had collaborated with artists; and almost all said they would consider doing so in future.Such an encouraging results is not surprising. Scientists are increasingly seeking out visual artists to help them communicate their work to new audiences. “Artists help scientists reach a broader audience and make emotional connections that enhance learn ing ” One respondent said.One example of how artists and scientists have together rocked the scenes came last month when the Sydney Symphony Orchestra performed a reworked version of Antonio Viva ldi’s The Four Seasons. They reimagined the 300-year-old score by injecting the latest climate prediction data for each season-provided by Monash University’ s Climate Change Communication Research Hub.The perfo rmance was a creative call to action ahead of November’s United Nations Climate Change Conference in Glasgow, UK.But a genuine partnership must be a two-way street. Fewer artist than scientists responded to the Nature pol1, however, several respondents noted that artists do notsimply assist scientists with their communication requirements. Nor should their work be considered only as an object of study. The alliances are most valuable when scientists and artists have a shared stake in a project, are able to jointly design it and can critique each o ther’s work. Such an approach can both prompt new research as wel as result in powerful art.More than half a century ago, the Massachusetts Institute of Technology opened its Center for Advanced Visual Studies (CAVS) to explore the role of technology in culture. The founders deliberately focused their projects around light-hance the “visual studies” in the name. Light was a something that both artists and scientists had an interest in, and therefore could form the basis of collaboration. As science and technology progressed, and divided into more sub-disciplines, the centre was simultaneously looking to a time when leading researchers could also be artists, writers and poets, and vice versa.Nature’s pol l findings suggest that this trend is as strong as ever, but, to make a collaboration work, both sides need to invest time, and embrace surprise and challenge. The reach of art-science tie-ups needs to go beyond the necessary purpose of research communication, and participants. Artists and scientists alike are immersed in discovery and invention, and challenge and critique are core to both, too.31. According to paragraph 1, art-science collaborations have .[A] caught the attention of critics[B] received favorable responses[C] promoted academic publishing[D] sparked heated public disputes32. The reworked version of The Four Seasons is mentioned to show that .[A] art can offer audiences easy access to science[B] science can help with the expression of emotions[C] public participation in science has a promising future[D] art is effective in facilitating scientific innovations33. Some artists seem to worry about in the art-science partnership .[A] their role may be underestimated[B] their reputation may be impaired[C] their creativity may be inhibited[D] their work may be misguided34. What does the author say about CAVS?[A] It was headed alternately by artists and scientists[B] It exemplified valuable art-science alliances[C] Its projects aimed at advancing visual studies[D] Its founders sought to raise the status of artists35. In the last paragraph, the author holds that art-science collaborations .[A] are likely to go beyond public expectations[B] will intensify interdisciplinary competition[C] should do more than communicating science[D] are becoming more popular than beforeText 4The personal grievance provisions of New Zealand’s Employment Relations Act 2000 (ERA) prevent an employer from firing an employee without good cause. Instead, dismissals must be justified. Employers must both show cause and act in a procedurally fair way.Personal grievance procedures were designed to guard the jobs of ordinary workers from “unjustified dismissals”. The p remise was that the common law of contract lacked sufficient safeguards for workers against arbitrary conduct by management. Long gone are the days when a boss could simply give an employee contractual notice.But these provisions create difficulties for businesses when applied to highly paid managers and executives. As countless boards and business owners will attest, constraining firms from firing poorly performing, high-earning managers is a handbrake on boosting productivity and overall performance. The difference between C-grade and A-grade managers may very well be the difference between business success or failure. Between preserving the jobs of ordinary workers or losing them. Yet mediocrity is no longer enough to justify a dismissal.Consequently –and paradoxically –laws introduced to protect the jobs of ordinary workers may be placing those jobs at risk.If not placing jobs at risk, to the extent employment protection laws constrain business owners from dismissing under-performing managers, those laws act as a constraint on firm productivity and therefore on workers’ wages. Indeed, in “An International Perspective on New Zealand’s Productivity Paradox” (2014), the Productivity Commission singled out the low quality of managerial capabilities as a c ause of the country’s poor productivity growth record.Nor are highly paid managers themselves immune from the harm caused by the ERA’s unjustified dismissal procedures. Because employment protection laws make it costlier to fire an employee, employers are more cautious about hiring new staff. This makes it harder for the marginal manager to gain employment. And firms pay staff less because firms carry the burden of the employment arrangement going wrong.Society also suffers from excessive employment protections. Stringent job dismissal regulations adversely affect productivity growth and hamper both prosperity and overall well-being.Across the Tasman Sea, Australia deals with the unjustified dismissal paradox by excluding employees earning above a specifi ed “high-income threshold” from the protection of its unfair dismissal laws. In New Zealand, a 2016 private members’ Bill tried to permit firms and high-income employees to contract out of the unjustified dismissal regime. However, the mechanisms proposed were unwieldy and the Bill was voted down following the change in government later that year.36.The personal grievance provisions of the ERA are intended to ____.[A] punish dubious corporate practices[B] improve traditional hiring procedures[C] exempt employers from certain duties[D] protect the rights of ordinary workers37.It can be learned from paragraph 3 that the provisions may ____.[A] hinder business development[B] undermine managers’ authority[C] affect the public image of the firms[D] worsen labor-management relations38.Which of the following measures would be the Productivity Commission support?[A]Imposing reasonable wage restraints.[B] Enforcing employment protection laws.[C] Limiting the powers of business owners.[D] Dismissing poorly performing managers.39.What might be an effect of ERA’s unjustified dismissal procedures?[A] Highly paid managers lose their jobs.[B] Employees suffer from salary cuts.[C] Society sees a rise in overall well-being.[D] Employers need to hire new staff.40.It can be inferred that the “high-income threshold” in Australia ____.[A] has secured managers’ earnings[B] has produced undesired results[C] is beneficial to business owners[D] is difficult to put into practicePart B(41) Teri ByrdI was a zoo and wildlife park employee for years. Both the wildlife park and zoo claimed to be operating for the benefit of the animals and for conservation purposes. This claim was false. Neither one of them actually participated in any contributions whose bottom line is much more important than the condition of the animals.Animals despise being captives in zoos. No matter how you “enhance” enclosures, they do not allow for freedom, a natural diet or adequate time for transparency with these institutions, and it’s past time to eliminate zoos from our culture.(42) Karen R. SimeAs a zoology professor, I agree with Emma Marris that zoo displays can be sad and cruel. But she underestimates the educational value of zoos.The zoology program at my university attracts students for whom zoo visits were the crucial formative experience that led them to major in biological sciences. These are mostly students who had no opportunity as children to travel to wilderness areas, wildlife refuges or national parks. Altho ugh good TV shows can help stir children’s interest in conservation, they cannot replace the excitement of a zoo visit as an intense, immersive and interactive experience. Surely there must be some middle ground that balances zoos’ treatment of animals wit h their educational potential.(43) Greg NewberryEmma Marris’s article is an insult and a disservice to the thousands of passionate who work tirelessly to improve the lives of animals and protect our planet. She uses outdated research and decades-old examples to undermine the noble mission of organization committed to connecting children to a world beyond their own.Zoos are at the forefront of conservation and constantly evolving to improve how they care for animals and protect each species in its natural habitat. Are theretragedies? Of course. But they are the exception not the norm that Ms. Marris implies.A distressed animal in a zoo will get as good or better treatment than most of us at our local hospital.(44) Dean GalleaAs a fellow environmentalist animal-protection advocate and longtime vegetarian. I could properly be in the same camp as Emma Marris on the issue of zoos. But I believe that well-run zoos and the heroic animals that suffer their captivity so serve a higher purpose. Were it not for opportunities to observe these beautiful wild creatures close to home many more people would be driven by their fascination to travel to wild areas to seek out disturb and even hunt them down.Zoos are in that sense similar to natural history and archeology museums serving to satisfy our need for contact with these living creatures while leaving the vast majority undisturbed in their natural environments.(45) John FraserEmma Marris selectively describes and misrepresents the findings of our research. Our studies focused on the impact of zoo experiences on how people think about themselves and nature and the data points extracted from our studies.Zoos are tools for thinking. Our research provides strong support for the value of zoos in connecting people with animals and with nature. Zoos provide a critical voice for conservation and environmental protection. They afford an opportunity for people from all backgrounds to encounter a range of animals from drone bees to springbok or salmon to better understand the natural world we live in.A.Zoos which spare no effort to take care of animals should not be subjected to unfair criticism.B.To pressure zoos to spend less on their animals would lead to inhumane outcomes for the precious creatures in their care.C.While animals in captivity deserve sympathy, zoos play a significant role in starting young people down the path of related sciences.D.Zoos save people trips to wilderness areas and thus contribute to wildlife conservation.E.For wild animals that cannot be returned to their natural habitats, zoos offer the best alternative.F.Zoos should have been closed down as they prioritize money making over animals’ wellbeing.G.Marris distorts our findings which actually prove that zoos serve as an indispensable link between man and nature.Directions:Read the following text carefully and then translate the underlined segments into Chinese. Your translation should be written neatly on the ANSWER SHEET. (10 points)The Man Who Broke Napoleon’s Codes - Mark Urban Between 1807 and 1814 the Iberian Peninsula (comprising Spain and Portugal) was the scene of a titanic and merciless struggle. It took place on many different planes: between Napoleon’s French army and the angry inhabitants; between the British, ever keen to exacerbate the emperor’s difficulties, and the marshals sent from Paris to try to keep them in check; between new forces of science and meritocracy and old ones of conservatism and birth. (46) It was also, and this is unknown even to many people well read about the period, a battle between those who made codes and those who broke them.I first discovered the Napoleonic cryptographic battle a few years ago when I was reading Sir Charles Oman’s epic History of the Peninsular War. In volume V he had attached an appendix, The Scovell Ciphers. (47) It listed many documents in code that had been captured from the French army of Spain, and whose secrets had beenrevealed by the work of one George Scovell, an officer in British headquarters. Oman rated Scov ell’s significance highly, but at the same time, the general nature of his History meant that (48) he could not analyze carefully what this obscure officer may or may not have contributed to that great struggle between nations or indeed tell us anything much about the man himself. I was keen to read more, but was surprised to find that Oman’s appendix, published in 1914, was the only considered thing that had been written about this secret war.I became convinced that this story was every bit as exciting and significant as that of Enigma and the breaking of German codes in the Second World War. The question was, could it be told?Studying Scovell’s papers at the Public Record Office, London, I found that he had left an extensive journal and copious notes about his work in the Peninsula. What was more, many original French dispatches had been preserved in this collection, which I realized was priceless. (49)There may have been many spies and intelligence officers during the Napoleonic Wars, but it is usually extremely difficult to find the material they actually provided or worked on.As I researched Scovell’s story I found far more of piterest besides of his intelligence work. His status in Lord Wellington’s headquarters and the recognition given to him for his work were all bound up with the class politics of the army at the time. His tale of self-improvement and hard work would make a fascinating biography in its own right, but represents something more than that. (50)Just as the code breaking has its wider relevance in the struggle for Spain, so his attempts to make his way up the promotion ladder speak volumes about British society.Section III WritingPartA51.Directions:Write an e-mail to a professor at a British university,inviting him/her to organize a team for international innovation contest to be held at your university.You should write about 100 words on the ANSWER SHEET.Do not use your own name in the email; use“Li Ming”instead.(10 points)Part B52.Directions:Write an essay of 160-200 words based on the picture below.

She was leaving her native country to join her sister in the United States. She spoke English very well. Though she was very happy she could go abroad, she was feeling sad at leaving her family and friends. As she was thinking all about this, she suddenly heard the airline em¬ployee asking her to pick up her luggage and put it on the scales (称). Maria pulled and pulled. The bag was too heavy and she just couldn't lift it up. The man behind her got very impatient. He, too, was waiting to check in his luggage."What's wrong with this girl?" He said, "Why doesn't she hurry up?" He moved for-ward and placed his bag on the counter, hoping to check in first. He was in a hurry to get a good seat.Maria was very angry, but she was very polite. And in her best English she said, "Why are you so upset? There are enough seats for everyone on the plane. If you arein such a hur¬ry, why can't you give me a hand with my luggage?"The man was surprised to hear Maria speak English. He quickly picked up her luggage and stepped back.

During the twentieth century there was an unusual shortening of the time of a woman’s life spent in caring for children. A woman who got married at the end of the 19th century would probably have been in her middle twenties, and would be likely to have seven or eight children,of whom four or five lived till they were five years old. By the time the youngest was fifteen, the mother would have been in her early fifties and would expect to live a further twenty years, during which custom, chance and health made it unusual for her to get paid work. Today women get married at a younger age and have fewer children. Usually a woman’s youngest child will be fifteen when she is forty-five and is likely to take paid work until retirement at sixty. Even while she has the care of children ,her work is lightened by household appliances（家用电器）and convenience foods.This important change in women’s way of life has only recently begun to have its full effect on women’s economic position. Even a few years ago most girls left school at the first opportunity and most of them took a full-time job. However, when they got married, they usually left work at once and never returned to it. Today the school-leaving age is sixteen, many girls stay at school after that age, and thoughwomen tend to get married young, more married women stay at work at least until shortly before their first child is born. Many more return afterwards to a full-time or part-time job. Such changes have led to a new relationship in marriage, with bothhusband and wife accepting a greater share of the duties and satisfaction of family life, and with both husband and wife sharing more equally in providing the money and running the home, according to the abilities and interest of each of them.1.We are told that in an average family about 1890___D___.A.many children died before they were fiveB.the youngest child would be fifteen years younger than the oldestC.seven of eight children lived to be more than fiveD.the child death rate was rather high2.When she was over fifty, the late 19th century mother__D____.A.would expect to work until she diedB.was usually expected to take up paid employmentC.would be healthy enough to take up paid employmentD.was unlikely to find a job even if she is now likely3.Many girls, the passage says, are now likely to ___D___.A.get married so that they can get a jobB.leave school as soon as they canC.give up their jobs for good after they are marriedD.continue working until they are going to have a baby4.According to the passage, it is now quite usual for women to __C____.A.stay at home after leaving schoolB.marry men younger than themselvesC.start working again later in lifeD.get married while still at school5.The best title for this passage is ___A_________.A.Great Changes in Women’s LifeB.19th-Century FamilyC.Modern Girls’ChoiceD.Equal Duties in Family LifeIn the United States, it is not customary to telephone someone very early in the morn¬ing. 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 11:00 p. m. If someone receives a call during sleeping hours, he assumes it's a matter of life or death. The time chosen for the call communicates its importance. In social life, time plays a very important part. In the U.S.A. guests tend to feel they are not highly regarded if the invitation to a dinner party is extended only three or four days before the party date. But it is not true in all countries. In other areas of the world, it may be considered foolish to make an appointment too far in ad¬vance because plans which are made for a date more than a week away tend to be forgotten. The meaning of time differs in different parts of the world. Thus, misunderstandings arise between people from different cultures that treat time differently. Promptness is valued high¬ly in American life, for example. If people are not prompt, they may be regarded as impolite or not fully responsible. In the U.S. no one would think of keeping a business associate waiting for an hour, it would be too impolite. A person who is 5 minutes late, will say a few words of explanation, though perhaps he will not complete the sentence.1.What is the main idea of this passage? BA.It is not customary to telephone someone in the morning and in sleeping hours in the U.S.B.The role of time in social life over the world.C.If people are not prompt, they may be regarded as impolite or not fully responsible in the U.S.D.Not every country treats the concept of time as the same.2.What does it mean in the passage if you call someone during his or her sleeping hours? BA.A matter of work.B.A matter of life or death.C.You want to see him or her.D.You want to make an appointment with him or her.3.Which of the following time is proper if you want to make an appointment with your friend? BA.at 7:00 am.B.at 4:00 pm.C.at the midnight.D.at 4:00 am.4.Which of the following statements is true according to the passage? DA.In the U.S.A. guests tend to feel they are highly regarded if the invitation to a din-ner party is extended only three or four days before the party date.B.There is no misunderstanding arising between people from different cultures about the concept of time.C.It may be considered foolish to make an appointment well in advance in the U.S.A. .D.Promptness is valued highly in American life.5.From the passage we can safely infer that ____B___ .A.it's a matter of life or death if you call someone in day time.B.the meaning of time differs in different parts of the world.C.it makes no difference in the U.S. whether you are early or late for a business party.D.if a person is late for a date, he needn't make some explanation.The French Revolution broke out in 1789. At the time France was in a crisis. The government was badly run and people's lives were miserable. King Louis XIV tried to control the national parliament and raise more taxes. But his effort failed. He ordered his troops to Versailles. The people thought that Louis intended to put down the Revolution by force. On July 14, 1789, they stormed and took the Bastille, where political prisoners were kept. Ever since that day, July 14 has been the French National Day. Louis tried to flee the country in 1792 to get support from Austria and Prussia. However, he was caught and put in prison. In September 1792, the monarchy was abolished. In the same year, Louis was executed. A few months later his wife, Marie also had her head cut off. The Revolution of France had frightened the other kings of Europe. Armies from Austria and Prussia began to march against France. The French raised republican armies to defend the nation. The Revolution went through a period of terror. Thousands of people lost their lives. In the end, power passed to Napoleon Bonaparte. (190 words)26. What's this passage about? (C )A. France.B. King Louis.C. The French Revolution.D. Europe.27.

Yours,Songhua二、Reading Comprehension (10分）Several months ago I decided it would be wise to investigate the possibilities of buying a life insurance policy, if for no other reason than because I understood it might be a good investment. I got the name of an insurance agent from a friend and called the agent to get some information. From the kinds of questions I put to him, the agent could tell that I knew nothing about insurance, so he kindly offered to explore the matter with me in more detail—to help me determine the kind of policy I ought to be considering.That evening he appeared at my door promptly at 7:30; without wasting time on amenities, he spread his papers out on the kitchen table and launched into a lengthy explanation. I listened attentively as he talked about the difference between various types of policies, and he explained the kind of coverage he felt I ought to have because of my age bracket and financial objectives. Toward the end of the evening (after three or four hours of talking), he kindly helped me fill out an application for a $50,000 policy, and then he asked if I could go to a Dr. Luther's office on Friday for a physical examination.I don't know why, but it was not until the mention of the doctors appointment that I realized fully what was happening. I was about to sign lifetime contract, yet I had not realty made a decision about whether I wanted to buy the policy or not. As a matter of fact, the question of a need Tor a decision from me one way or the other had not even come up. Suddenly I felt sure that I definitely did not want to buy the policy. However, since he had spent so much time with me, 1 didn't want to make him feel that he had wasted his time. So I invented an excuse about things I had to do on Friday, and i assured him I would call him in a few days. Actually, 1 had no intention of going to see Dr. Luther or of calling the agent again. I wanted to forget the whole thing.It's been over three months now since our meeting, and my friendly insurance agent still calls at my office faithfully two or three times a week. My secretary knows that I don’t want to talk to him, so when he calls she tells him that I'm in a meeting or that Tm out of the office or that Tm away on a business trip. I realize now that it was a mistake not to tell him that first night that I didn't want the policy. Since I still can*t bring myself to tell him outright that Tm not interested, and please not to bother me anymore, all I can do is avoid his calls and hope I don’t run into him some place.2、The writer phoned the insurance agent because _________.A、he wanted to till out an application for a life insurance policyB、he had decided to buy a life insurance policyC、he took great interest in the insurance companyD、he was eager to explore the possibilities of buying a life insurance policy正确答案：D3、After several hours of talking, the writer _________.A、decided to buy the policyB、decided to postpone making a decisionC、made an appointment with Dr. LutherD、decided not to buy the policy正确答案：D4、The writer didn't tell the agent the truth because _________.A、 he was afraid of himB、he felt embarrassed to do soC、he thought it none of the agent's businessD、he did not wish to lose the agent's friendship正确答室：B5、 Which of the following is trueA、The writer has tried many ways to get rid of the agent.B、The agent is easily put off.C、The agent phones every day.D、The writer intends to call the agent in a few days.正确答案：A6、The secretary _________.A、 understands the writer wellB、 helps the writerC、is clever and experiencedD、all of the above正确答案：D三、Reading Comprehension（10分）The second year in Cornell for me was very demanding. This was not because of the study. The pressure mainly came from job-hunting.In such top-ranking business schools as Cornell, permanent jot) recruiting starts as soon as the second year starts. There is a special office, the Career Service Office (CSO), which is in charge of posting on-campus interview schedules, collecting studen ts’ resumes and coordinating the company and students in regard to the interview. Usually, during the summer time, companies start to book with the CSO when to make presentations on campus, when to collect resumes and when to conduct interviews. By mid-September, the CSO will start the first round of resume drop. Throughout the whole semester, there are about 12 or more rounds of resume drop and each round is composed of about 20 companies. Over the past two years, the job market has been unprecedentedly good, and lots of companies have come to campus to recruit. However, for international students, the opportunities are very limited Almost two-thirds of the American companies will state at the end of their job descriptions that they are not recruiting students without US work authorization. In the States, international students are on F-1 visa status. Once they are employed by the companies upon graduation, they need to change to H-1 status, to get the work authorization, which has to be sponsored by their employers. The legal process is troublesome and time-consuming. Therefore, to avoid the troubles, many companies do not want to recruit international students without work authorization, which means that the international students can apply only when they have a green card. Given the fact that only about one-third of the companies coming to campus to recruit are willing to employ international students and sponsor them to get the necessary work authorization, It is not difficult to imagine how fierce the competitions are among international students on campus. Fortunately, beyond the confines of the campus, there are still more companies out there which have a great need for MBA students and are willing to sponsor the international students having no green cards to get the H-1 work visa. With these companies, what you need to do is to network. I cannot stress enough how important networking is in job-hunting. But networking here is quite different from what we understand by “connections” in Chinese culture. You do not have to send any presents to the person with whom you want to establish a network, and neither do you have to know him beforehand. Our school has a great networkof alums working in different fields and those alums’ contact information is provided by the CSO.So, what do you do with the information Cold calls. At the beginning, I found the idea of contacting an alum quite ridiculous. Think about it you've never met this person and you are asking him to help you get a job on the phone. However, without any other more solid and effective connection in hand, cold calls may turn out to be the beginning of something more than a mere straw in the water. The success of other people made me believe that it was a very practical way to land a job as long as you persisted and knew what you were alter. Of course, not every alum is enthusiastic in helping a stranger. But most of the alums are very helpful, passing on your resume to human resources, arranging interviews, and referring you to other companies they may have contacts with. Of course, whether you can finally get the job or not is up to your interview skills, overall ability and fate. Still, networking can help you get into the door, which is already a blessing to the international students whose on-campus interview chances are limited.7、The special office, CSO, is in charge of _________.A、posting on-campus interview schedulesB、collecting students’ resumesC、coordinating the company and students in regard to the InterviewD、all the above正确答案：D8、Which one of the following statements is true of the "connections" in USAA、It is different from what we understand in Chinese culture.B、You have to send any presents to the person.C、You have to know him beforehand.D、 You must establish a network.正确答案:A9、According to the last paragraph, which statement is NOT trueA、 It isn't a very practical way to give a phone call.B、 Not every alum is enthusiastic in helping a stranger.C、Most of the alums are very helpful.D、Most of the alums will pass on your resume to human resources.正确答案：A10、 According to the passage, which statement is NOT trueA、 By mid-September, the CSO will start the first round of resume drop.B、 Throughout the whole semester, there are about 12 or more rounds of resume drop.C、For international students, the opportunities are very unlimited.D、I cannot stress enough how important networking is in job-hunting.正确答室：C11、Throughout the passage, the author wants to depict that _________.A、 green cards are the most important thing in finding a jobB、 networking is necessary to find a job in the StatesC、green cards and networking are very important for an international student to find a job in the StatesD、the action of the international students' alums is very important for one to find a good job 正确答案：B四、完形填空(1盼）In China it is relatively usual to ask people their age, but in the West this question is generally regarded as impolite.

One book that certainly did was Uncle Tom's Cabin, Written by Harriet Beecher Stowe. It was a book that spoke out against slavery.As Harriet Beecher Stowe wrote her book, there were over million slaves in the United States. Slaves were usually in the cotton-growing slates of the South. The Northern States has ended slavery. Yet most northerners were not strongly against slavery. They did not mind that slavery continued in the South. Stowe decided to make people understand that slavery was very bad. Each night after putting r six children to bed, she worked on her book. She told the owner. She also told how the slaves tried to run away for freedom. Uncle Tom’s Cabin first came in 1852. Over 300,000 books were sold out in a year.People had different ideas about the book. In the North, many people finally believed that slavery must be ended after they read the book. In the South, many people were very angry at the people in the North. By 1861 the two parts of the country were at war. The Civil War, which lasted until of cease, was made to happen by many things. Yet Uncle Tom's Cabin surely played a part. Stowe met President Linclon in 1862. As Linclon took her hand, he said, “So you are the woman who starred the big war."40、Before Uncle Tom's Cabin came out, most Northerners ___.A、 were slaves in the SouthB、did not know how bad slavery wasC、kept slaves in their homesD、understood that slavery was wrong正确答案：B41、While many Northerners agreed with Harriet Beacher Stowe,___.A、many southerners wanted warB、many southerners had not read the bookC、many southerners were angry at herD、some slaves tried to run away from North正确答案：C42、From the text, we can infer that ___.A、Stowe was a very young womanB、Stowe’s husband was dead when she wrote the storyC、Stowe wrote her book with stories from her six childrenD、Stowe could not work on her book at all during the daytime正确答案:D43、Uncle Tom's Cabin was ___.A、 a book about Harriet Beecher StoweB、 a history bookC、 a book that helped change historyD、 a book about the American Civil war正确答案：C44、 Harriet Beecher Stowe ___.A、 was a little woman who started the American Civil War together wfth Abraham LinclonB、 was strongly against the slaveryC、 helped some slaves to run away from the SouthD、 met Abraham Lincoln before the Civil War正确答案：B七、Vocabulary and Structure (27分)45、—Will you join us in the game—Thank you, ___why not I’d rather not.
