In the schools of Ancient Greece and Rome, testing usually consisted of saying poetry aloud or giving speeches.In the European universities of the Middle Ages, students whowere working for advanced degrees had to discuss questions in their fieldof study with people who had made a special study of the subject. This custom exists today as part of the process of testing candidates (考⽣) for the doctor‘s degree.Generally , however, modern examinations are written. The written examination, where all Students are tested on the on the same questions,was probably not known until the nineteenth century.Perhaps it came into existence with the great increase in populationand the development of modern Industry, A room full of candidates for a state examination, timed exactly by electric clocks and Carefully watched over by managers, resembles a group of workers at an automobilefactory. Certainly, , during examinations teachers and students are expected to actlike machines.One type of test ins sometimes called an objective test . It isintended to deal with facts, not personal opinions. To make up anobjective test the teacher writhes a series of questions, each of which has only one correct answer. Along with each question the teacher writes the correct answer and also three statements that look like answers to students who have not learned the material properly.31. In the Middle Ages students（）A. took objective testsB. were timed by electric clocksC. specialized in one subjectD. never wrote exams32. The main idea of paragraph 3 is that （）A. workers now take examinationsB. the population has grownC. there are only written exams todayD. examinations are now written and timed33. The kind of exams where students must select answers are （）A. personalB. spokenC. objectiveD. written34. Modern industry must have developed（）A. before the Middle AgesB. in Greece of RomeC. around the 19 th centuryD. machines to take tests35. It may be concluded that testing（）A. should test only opinionsB. has hanged since the Middle AgesC. should always be writtenD. is given only in factoriesTask 2For millions of people around the world, the very word "Christmas"brings warmth and joy to their hearts and homes. To some, it is simply a very popular holiday. But for many, it honors the birth of Jesus Christ. Here is a brief history of Christmas and some of the traditions connected with it.Why December 25th?Well, during the first two centuries after Jesus' death, Christmas wasnot celebrated at all. Various attempts were made to determine the date of birth of Jesus, and at first, May 20th became the favored date. By the middle of the fourth century, however, Pope Julius selected December25th as the day on which to celebrate Christ's birth. Before that, December 25th had been a widely celebrated day in the Roman world. Onthat date, people honored a Roman sun god. Many modern Christmas customs, such as having a tree in the house and preparing special meals, came from this ancient celebration.Let's decorate the tree!The Christmas tree tradition was started in Germany in the late fifteenth century. At that time, there was a popular theater play which included a fir tree hung with apples. Today, more than 80 percent of Americanfamilies buy and decorate a tree at Christmas.How many Christmas cards do you usually send?The first commercial Christmas cards were made in London in 1843. Arich man paid an artist to design a card. He then proudly sent it to his friends and relatives to wish them a "Merry Christmas." It was a goodidea and it soon caught on. Today, Americans exchange millions of Christmas cards every year.Santa Claus is coming to town!St. Nicholas was the original Santa Claus or "Father Christmas". He was widely known as a kind man who loved children. After his death, a story developed that he used to visit children on Christmas Eve and give them presents. When the Dutch people came to live in America many years ago, they brought their St. Nicholas, or Sinter Klaas in Dutch, with them. SinterKlaas is therefore where we get the name Santa Claus.What's in that stocking?According to the story, the practice of hanging up stockings is connected with St. Nicholas. It is believed that St. Nicholas learned about a man who was hopelessly in debt. He also learned that the man and his daughters were about to be sold as slaves. Nicholas went to the man's home at night and threw a bag of gold through the man's window. Thebag of gold landed in one of the daughters' stockings that had been hungup to dry.Today, all the above traditions are still kept as ways of celebrating Christmas.36. Lots of people celebrate Christmas to（）A. show respect for Jesus ChristB. get warmth and joyC. spend money while shoppingD. spend money while shopping37. According to Paragraph 3, which of the following is NOTtrue? （）A. People tried many times to decide the date of birth of Jesus.B. People tried many times to decide the date of birth of Jesus.C. December 25th used to be a day on which to show respect to aRoman sun god.D. Christmas was celebrated widely soon after Jesus' death.38. What does "it soon caught on" in Paragraph 7 mean? （）A. It was not allowed by the people in London.B. It was popular among the people.C. It was not welcomed by the man's relatives and friends.D. It was very expensive.39. From the text, we can learn that the story of Father Christmas may come from（）A. the GermansB. the RomansC. the DutchD. the Americans40. Why does Father Christmas put the presents in the stockings? （）A. Because he doesn't know where to put the presents.B. Because the stockings are good places for the presents.C. Because he wants children to spend time finding them.D. Because the gold thrown by St. Nicholas happened to fall in the stockings.Task 3Even the most powerful computer in the world can't be a geniusbecause it has no character. It can remember and calculate quickly andaccurately, and handle great amounts of information—but it can't think about the information like we can. It has no feelings, no opinions, no moments of madness.Study the great human geniuses and you'll see that they all havespecial parts to their character, qualities that allow them to go beyond everything previously achieved. Their lives hold many of the secrets to having great ideas and putting them into practice. To be a genius you need to:—Have fun. Leonardo da Vinci was well known for his jokes andfunny stories. Galileo had a busy social life and was another great joker. Bill Gates, the world's richest man, and the genius behind Microsoft, has been described as "a big teenager". He once said that one of his favorite hobbies was playing with earthmoving equipment on building sites!—Be curious. Geniuses spend their lives asking questions about theworld around them.Leonardo da Vinci filled many notebooks with his questions that he wanted to answer. Here is one passage from his notebook:。

For each of them there are 4 choices marked A,B,C and D. You should decide on the best choice, and mark the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet.Passage 1I strongly believe that understanding is more important than love, especially when it comes to parenting and intimate relationships. As a psychologist for more than twenty years I can tell you that I have never had an adult looking back at her childhood and complaining that her parents were too understanding. And similarly, I have met many divorced people who still love each other but yet they never really understood each other.The painful reality is love is just not enough. I’ll admit that there are people who I love and who I still need to b etter understand. I hope I’ll continue my work to understand them. The willingness to understand is very important. It is not always easy, but healthy love is strengthened by the willingness to understand. Love without understanding will wilt like flowers without water.Our egos are what seem to get in the way of understanding those who we love and care about. Often it is our need to be right that makes what others think and feel so wrong for us. I have certainly been quite guilty of this in some of my relationships.As I have written repeatedly in my books, empathy, is truly the emotional glue that holds all close relationships together. Empathy allows us to slow down and try to walk in the shoes of those we love. The deeper our empathy, the deeper—and healthier— our love. Not all relationships are meant to be. Yet all relationships that are meant to flourish in a healthy way, must stress understanding just as much, if not more, than love.61. From the passage we know that________.A. the author complains about her parents ‘being too understandingB. the author has been studying marriages for more than 20 yearsC. people divorced mainly because they didn’t love each otherD. some people divorced because they couldn’t understand each other62. Why are we unable to understand the others sometimes?A. Because we are caring the others too much.B. Because it is quite difficult to understand the others.C. Because we believe we are always right.D. Because the others have done something wrong.63. Which of the following statements is true according to the passage?A. Understanding is more important to parenting relationship than to other intimaterelationships.B. Understanding is less important than love as far as marriage is concerned.C. Understanding is more important than love to some degree.D. Understanding is more often neglected in parenting relationship.64. If we are to understand our partners, we should ________firstly .A. have willingness to do soB. have love for themC. get into connection with themD. care about them65. In this passage, the expression “walk in the shoes of” is similar in meaning to________ .A. befriendB. understandC. loveD. care aboutPassage 2Finally, the Christmas season is over. We can take a long breath, put up our feet, sip from a cup of good tea and relax. The frenzy, starting from Black Friday right after Thanksgiving until Christmas Eve, of gift shopping, buying, wrapping, giving, receiving, opening, returning…is exhaustive and time consuming, but it takes place every year.There is considerable difference between the cultures in China and western countries when it comes to gift giving. In China, it is not polite to open a gift in front of the gift giver, and gift is only looked at after the guest has left. Here in America, gift givers always wrap their gifts, large or small, priceless or valueless, carefully and decorate them with colorful ribbons and little pretty paper flowers; and the lucky receiver is expected to open the gift right away in front of the giver, with great eagerness and curiosity, and should always express appreciation with the all time truthful comment, “this is just exactly what I wanted!” Well, as a matter of fact, most people would take their “always wanted” gi fts back to the store to exchange for something they reallywanted.Finding a gift for somebody, even a close family member, you’ll have to know what the person likes and shop for days before you can locate the perfect gift. But, still the person may not like the gift from you. Nowadays, stores would provide two copies of the receipts for anything they sell as a gift, one of which is included in the gift package so that the receiver can come back for an exchange. I know, it was unthinkable to cash out gift you get, but, times are different. Another good way to avoid all that shopping hassle is to purchase a gift card from one of the stores and send it to your niece, nephews, or a family member, so that they can get whatever they want or even keep the money.66. Finding a gift for somebody is a(n)________.A. easy jobB. tough taskC. Must be jobD. arranged task67. It is quite ________ for Chinese people to open the gift in front of the givers.A. usualB. normalC.abnormalD. unusual68. Gift giving is the same thing in China and America in that ________.A. people spend a lot of time preparing a giftB. people would cash out the gift immediatelyC. people are eager to get a gift from a friendD. people are less willing to give gifts69. Which of the following is the author’s suggestion?A. Open the gift immediately in front of the giver.B. Wrap the gift carefully.C. Express the appreciation for the gift you receive.D. Buying a present card to avoid the trouble in shopping.70. The author’s attitude towards gift giving is________ .A. indifferentB. protestingC.objectiveD. supportivePassage 3They already guide blind and disabled people；now dogs are to be trained to help people with dementia(痴呆). The duti es of these “guide dogs for the mind” will include reminding their owners to take medication, as well as encouraging them to eat, drink and sleep at regular intervals.The dementia dogs will be trained to respond to sound triggers in the home that prompt them to perform tasks. These could include delivering a bite proof bag of medicine with a note inside reminding the patient to take it, or waking them up in the morning.The idea was developed by design students at the Glasgow School of Art and will now be put into practice by Alzheimer’s Scotland and Dogs for the disabled.Joyce Gray of Alzheimer’s Scotland said: “People in the early stages of dementia are still able to live a relatively normal life, and dogs help to maintain routine.”The other advantage of using the pets as companions is that conversation can be increasingly confusing for people with Alzheimer’s, but dogs can give them a sense of silent support and companionship. People light up when they see animals. They don’t need to communicate ver bally but they can still interact. You can have a speechless bond.The dog would also encourage the owner to take them out for walks, ensuring they keep exercising and interacting with other people.71. As is mentioned in the passage, the guide dogs will do the following except for________.A. helping ensure the owner doing some exercisesB. reminding the owner to take medicineC. communicating with the owner in a non verbal wayD. helping the owner recover from the illness72. Who will train the dogs to perform such tasks?A. The students who developed the idea.B. The owners of the dogs.C. The experts in Alzheimer’s Scotland.D. It is not mentioned in the passage.73. What is true about the people suffering from dementia?A. They would like to stay with other people.B. They can maintain routine.C. They will gradually lose the ability to live a normal life.D. They would like to talk in a different way.74. The guide dogs helping the people with dementia will________.A. respond to t he owners’ orderB. respond to a sound deviceC. act on the owners’ instructionsD. act on the trainers’ order75. Having a conversation with people with dementia will be________.A. difficultB. interestingC. confusingD. encouragingPassage 4It seems obvious that you don’t give away your product for free but this is exactly what indie rock group The Crimea did earlier this year. The band’s reasoning goes like this: more people will download the free album than would pay for it. Therefore more people will hear The Crimea’s music. These people will then pay money for concerts by the band and perhaps buy a T-shirt or other merchandise. If the band play regular concerts to crowds of 200 or 300 people they can make more money than they would from sales of a CD. There will always be some people who want something they can hold in their hands so they will release the CD into the shops too—but making money through sales of their music isn’t the top priority.The story illustrates the creative thinking going on in the music business in response to dramatic changes over the last few years in the way that people buy music. Sales of music digitally—to computer, phones and MP3 players rose to＄2 billion in 2006—an increase of almost 100 percent on the previous year—yet overall record company sales are down. People are simply not buying CDs in record shops in anything like the numbers they used to.This trend looks set to continue so the big question for the music industry is whether they can successfully manage the move to being primarily a digital industry without profits falling to unacceptable levels.There are both positive and negative signs. On the plus side, more and more people are buying music on mobile phones, which allows people to make impulse purchases—they can buy a song as soon as they hear it. Research by the UK mobile operator 3 suggested that 75 percent of 16 to 24year olds wanted to buy a track they liked as soon as they heard it. With so much competition for people’s disposable income, a product that you can sell immediately is a big advantage.The bad news for record companies, however, is the amount of music that is downloaded illegally.Piracy—usually in the form of cheaply copied CD—has long been an issue for the music business but the Internet means music can be copied and distributed freely through file-sharing sites on a large scale than ever before.It is this situation that leads bands to start giving away their music for free and promises to make the next few years a very interesting time in the music business.76. What is unusual about the Crimea’s business plan?A. Their business was given away free on the Internet.B. They gave CDs away free in shops.C. They played free concerts.D. They charged more for their CDs77. The Crimea hope to make money________ .A. through CD salesB. by giving concerts and selling T-shirts and other merchandiseC. by selling merchandise on the InternetD. through sales of merchandise in shops78. The Crimea also released CDs for sale in shops because________ .A. people who attend their concerts need themB. they want to make extra moneyC. there are still people who prefer CDs to other formatsD. people who fail to attend their concerts need them79. What is true about sales of music over the last year?A. Overall, sales are up last year.B. Overall, sales are down last year.C. There is no change compared to previous sales.D. It is not mentioned in the passage.80. What effect has the Internet had on music piracy?A. It has made it easier to fight piracy.B. It has increased the number of pirate CDs available.C. It has made it easier to illegally copy music.D. It has reduced the number of pirate CDs available.Part Ⅱ Cloze (1×20 points)Directions: There are 20 blanks in the following passage. For each blank there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. You should choose the ONE that best fits into the passage and mark the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet.Many visitors to the United Kingdom go straight to London and never set foot outside the capital—which is a pity, for those that do are often surprised at the sheer variety of landscapes 41 within such a small geographical area. 42 you want to see stunning, unspoilt scenery you should 43 spend a few days in one of Britain’s largest areas of protected countryside, a national park. 44 in the second half of the 20th century after popular pressure for access 45 the country;s wilder places, there are now 15 of them throughout the British Isles.The biggest is the Cairngorms in northern Scotland, named 46 some of the country’s highest mountains and the best place for skiing.

If you don’t like the 49 to the highest point, some 2,000 metres 50 sea level, you can take the railway 51 gets you to the summit in less than ten minutes. 52 the west of the park is another popular natural 53 , Loch Ness. The lake is over 200 metres 54 in places, and salmon, trout and eels are in abundance here.Over the border in England is the Lake District, 55 made famous by Romantic poets such as William Wordsworth two hundreds years ago. People have been 56 here en masse since 1847 57 a railway was built to its biggest lake, Windermere. 58 in the past boats plied its waters 59 stone, timber and wood, today’s craft are more likely to carry 60 on pleasure cruises—over a million a year, in fact.41.

I would say to myself .“I _33_ why that woman doesn’t wipe her window. It really looks terrible.”One bright morning I decided to _34_ my flat, including wiping the windows on the inside. Late in the afternoon when I finished the work, I sat down by the window with a cup of coffee for a rest. What a (an)_35_! Across the way, the woman sitting by her window was _36_ visible. Her window was clean.Then it dawned (明⽩)on me. I have been criticizing (批评)her dirty window, but all the time I was watching hers through my dirty window.That was quite an important lesson for me.

They say more Americans need to take a nap—that is to rest for a short period in the middle of the day. They give people advice to sleep lightly before continuing with other activities. The experts say naps might improve health by reducing pressure.Some European and Latin American companies have supported the idea of napping for many years. They ask people to leave work, go home and have a nap before returning. In the United States, some companies let workers rest simply in their offices. They believe this can help workers make fewer mistakes and also increase the amount of work that a person can do. Sleep experts say it is likely that people make more mistakes at work than at other time. They suggest that people should not carry out important tasks when they feel sleepy. And they believe the best thing to do is to take a nap. About 20 minutes of rest is all you need. Experts say this provides extra energy and can increase your efficiency until the end of the day. Bat they point out that a nap should last no more than 20 to 30 minutes. A longer nap will put the body into deep sleep and waking up will be difficult.56.

The advantages of deep sleep during weekends.C. The disadvantages of deep sleep during weekends.D. The disadvantages of taking a nap during the day.Questions 61-65 are based on the fallowing passage：Indonesia is my mother’s homeland and one of my favorite countries. Since I was young, Ihave learned a lot about the country and become interested in it. For a long time I had wanted to do something for the country and people there, and I thought volunteering (做志愿者)would be a good and fun way to do so.I received the greatest pleasure from being with the children.Teaching my first English class in Aeeh was exciting but I was rather nervous. As time passed by, I learned how to be a better teacher. Teaching was actually the most enjoyable of my many responsibilities (责任).Many children were shy at first. But when they relaxed, they would start talking and telling you a lot of funny things. I believed we were helping them build up their confidence.For the children who are more in need, the Education Program (TEP) will collect donations (募捐)to help them.As a volunteer, I had to visit TEP children at home once a month and help them write a thank-you letter to their sponsors.

He’d need a fan or a strong wind to help him putthem out.While many people in China will remember Confucius on his special day, few people in the United States will give him a passing thought, because it’s nothing personal. Most Americans don’t even remember the birthdays of their own national heroes.But this doesn’t mean that Americans don’t care about Confucius. In many ways he hasbecome a bridge that foreigners muse cross if they want to reach a deeper understanding of China.In the past two decades, the Chinese Study Programs have gained large popularity in Western universities. More recently, the Chinese government has set up Confucius Institutes in more than 80 countries. These schools teach both Chinese language and culture. The main courses of Chinese culture usually include Chinese art, history and philosophy ( 哲学). Some social scientists suggest that Westerners should take advantage of the ancient Chinese wisdomto make up for the drawbacks (缺陷) of Western philosophy. Students in the United States, atthe same time, are racing to learn Chinese. Businessmen who hope to make money in China are reading books about Confucius to understand their Chinese customers.Today China attracts the West more than ever, and more teachers are needed to introduce Confucius and Chinese culture to the West.66.

Each of the first three passages 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. Answer the questions on the four passages. Questions 26 to 30 are based on the following passage. When we meet another person for the first time, we are actually flooded with new information. Almost at once, we notice his appearance, style of dress, and monner of speech. Furthermore, as we listen to what he has to say and observe the things he does, we begin to form some ideas of what kind of person hisand what he intends to do. As you know from your own experience, though, we do not only gather these separate pieces of information. Instead, we go further and combine them into a unified picture. In short, we form an overall im pression of each person we meet-an impression that can be favorable or unfavorable. But how precisely do we perform this task? How do we combine so much different information into a clear first impression with such quick speed? A great deal of research has been performed on this question, and resulits point to the following answer: We perform this task through a special type of averaging. Expressed very simply our impressions of others seem to represent a weighted average of all information that can be gathered about them. That is, they reflect a process in which all information we have about others is averaged to gether—but with some facts, or input receiving greater sense. For example, in forming an impression of a new boss you would probably be influedced to a much greater degree by how this person gives you orders ( whether respectfully or not ) than by the color of his or her eyes. The fact that not all information about other persons affects our impressions of them to the same degree, raises an important question: Just what kinds of input receive the greatest weight? Again research provides some revealing(发⼈深思) an-swers. 26. This passage is mainly about_______. A. how our first impressions are expressed. B. how our first impressions are formed. C. how we can favorably impress others. D. how first impression affect our lives. 27. According to the passage, the first impression is_______. A. the result of quick look. B. not based on enough information. C. a combination of pieces ofinformation. D. the observation of what a person does. 28. Research has shown that first impressions are generally more influenced by______. A. the way others spesk. B. appearance and styule of dress. C. all information we have. D. certain types of information at hand. 29. The word “weight”in the last paragraph is closest in meaning to_______. A. amount B. research C. importance D. burden 30. The following paragraph will most probably siscuss______. A. wrong first impression of other people. B. selected information for forming first impression. C. the importance of first impression in job situation. D. ways of making good first impression.。

As a psychologist for more than twenty years I can tell you that I have never had an adult looking back at her childhood and complaining that her parents were too understanding. And similarly, I have met many divorced people who still love each other but yet they never really understood each other.The painful reality is love is just not enough. I’ll admit that there are people who I love and who I still need to better understand. I hope I will continue my work to understand them. The willingness to understand is very important. It is not always easy,but healthy love is strengthened by the willingness to understand. Love without understanding will wilt like flowers without water.Our egos are what seem to get in the way of understanding those who we love and care about. Often it is our need to be right that makes what others think and feel so wrong for us. I have certainly been quite guilty of this in some of my relationships.As I have written repeatedly in my books, empathy , is truly the emotional glue that holds all close relationships together. Empathy allows us to slow down and try to walk in the shoes of those we love. The deeper our empathy, the deeper---the healthier---our love. Not all relationships are meant to be. Yet all relationships that are meant to flourish in a healthy way, must stress understanding just as much, if not more, than love.61.From the passage, we know that _____.A.the author complains about her parents’ be ing too understandingB.the author has been studying marriage for more than 20 yearsC.People divorced mainly because they didn’t love each otherD.Some people divorced because they couldn’t understand each other62.Why are we unable to understand the others sometimes?A.Because we are caring the others too much.B. Because it is quite difficult to understand the others.C. Because we believe we are always rightD.Because the others have done something wrong63.Which of the following statements is true according to the passage?A.Understanding is more important to parenting relationships than to other intimate relationships.B.Understanding is less important than love as far as marriage is concerned.C.Understanding is more important than love to some degree.D.Understanding is more often neglected in parenting relationship.64.If we are to understand our parents, we should firstly _____.A.have willingness to do soB.have love for themC.get into connection with themD.care about them65.In this passage, the expression “walk in the shoes of” is similar in meaning to ____.A.befriendB.understandC.loveD.care aboutPassage TwoFinally, the Christmas season is over. We can take a long breath, put up our feet, sip from a cup of good tea and relax. The frenzy, starting from Black Friday right after Thanksgiving until Christmas Eve, of gift shopping, buying, wrapping, giving, receiving, opening, returning...is exhaustive and time---consuming, but it takes place every year.There is considerable difference between the cultures in China and western countries when it comes to gift giving. In China, it is not polite to open a gift in front of the gift giver, and gift is only looked at after the guest has left. Here in America, gift givers always wrap their gifts, large or small, priceless or valueless, carefully and decorate them with colorful ribbons and little pretty paper flowers; and the lucky receiver is expected to open the gift right away in front of the giver, with great eagerness and curiosity, and should always express appreciation with the all time truthful comment,“this is just exactly what I wanted!” Well, as a matter of fact, most people would take their“always wanted” gifts back to the store to exchange for something they really wanted.Finding a gift for somebody, even a close family member, you will have to know what the person likes and shop for days before you can locate the perfect gift. But , still the person may not like the gift from you. Nowadays, stores would provide two copies of the receipts for anything they sell as a gift, one of which is included in the gift packaged so that the receiver can come back for an exchange. I know, it was unthinkable to cash out gift you get, but, times are different. Another good way to avoid all that shopping hassle is to purchase a gift card from one of the stores and send it to your niece, nephews, or a family member, so that they can get whatever they want or even keep the money.66.Finding a gift for somebody is a(n) _____.A.easy jobB.tough taskC.must-be jobD.arranged task67.It is quite _____ for Chinese people to open the gift in front of the givers.ualB.normalC.abnormalD.unusual68.Gift giving is the same thing in China and America in that _____.A.people spend a lot of time preparing a giftB.People would cash out the gift immediatelyC.People are eager to open to get a gift from a friendD.People are less willing to give gifts.69.Wh ich of the following is the author’s suggestion?A.Open a gift immediately in front of the giver.B.Wrap the gift carefully.C.Express the appreciation for the gift you receive.D.Buying a present card to avoid the trouble in shopping70.The author’s attit ude towards gift giving is_____.A.indifferentB.protestingC.objectiveD.supportivePassage ThreeThey already guide blind and disabled people ;now dogs are to be trained to help people with dementia(痴呆).The duties of these “guide dogs for the mind” will include reminding their owners to take medication, as well as encouraging them to eat , drink and sleep at regular intervals.The dementia dogs will be trained to respond to sound triggers in the home that prompt them to perform tasks .These could include delivering a bite-proof bag of medicine with a note inside reminding the patient to take it , or waking them up in the morning.The idea was developed by design students at the Glasgow School of Art and will now be put into practice by Alzheimer’s Seotland and Dogs for the disabled.Joyee Gray of Alzheimer’s Scotland said:“People in the early stages of dementia are still able to live a relative normal life , and dogs help to maintain routine .”The other advantage of using the pets as companions is that conversation can be increasingly confusing for people with Alzheimer’s ,but dogs can give them a sense of silent support and companionship . People light up when they can see animals .They don’t need to communicate verbally but they c an still interact . You can have a speechless bond .The dog would also encourage the owner to take them out for walks ,ensuring they keep exercising and interacting with other people .71.As is mentioned in the passage ,the guide dogs will do the following except for ____ .A.helping ensure the owner doing some exercisesB.reminding the owner to take medicinemunicating with the owner in a non-verbal wayD.helping the owner recover from the illness72.Who will train the dogs to perform such tasks?A.The students who developed the idea.B.The owners of the dogs.C.The experts in Alzheimer’s Scotland .D.It is not mentioned in the passage .73.What is true about the people suffering from dementia?A.They would like to stay with other people.B.They can maintain routine .C.They will gradually lose the ability to live a normal life .D.They would like to talk in a different way .74.The guide dogs helping the people with dementia will ___.A.respond to the owners orderB.respond to a sound deviceC.act on the owners instructionsD.act on the trainers order75.Having a conversation with people with dementia will be ___.A.difficultB.interestingC.confusing D .encouragingPassage FourIt seems obvious that yo u don’t give away your product for free but this is exactly what indie rock group The Crimea did earlier this year. The band’s reasoning goes like this: more people will download the free album than would pay for it. Therefore, more people will hear The Cr imea’s music. These people will then pay money for concerts by the band and perhaps buy a T-shirt or other merchandise. If the band play regular concerts to crowds of200 or 300 people they can make more money than they would from sales of CD. There will always be some people who want something they can hold in their hands so they will release the CD into the shops too---but making money through sales of their music isn’t the top priority.The story illustrates the creative thinking going on in their music in response to dramatic changes over the last few years in the way that people buy music. Sales of music digitally ---to computer, phone and MP3 players rose to $2 billion in 2006---an increase of almost 100 percent on the previous year---yet overall record company sales are down. People are simply not buying CDs in record shops in anything like the numbers they used to.This trend looks set to continue so the big questions for the music industry is whether they can successfully manage the move to being primarily a digital industry without profits falling to unacceptable levels.There are both positive and negative signs. On the plus side, more and more people are buying music by mobile phones, which allows people to make impulse purchases---they can buy a song as soon as they hear it. Research by the UK mobile operator 3 suggested that 75 percent of 16 to 24-year-olds wanted to buy a track they liked as soon as they heard it. With so much competition for people’s disposable income, a product you can sell immediately is a big advantage.The bad news for the record companies, however, is the amount of music that is downloaded illegally. Piracy---usually in the form of cheaply copied CD---has long been an issue for the music business but the internet means music can be copied and distributed freely through file-sharing sites on a large scale than ever before.It is this situation that leads bands to start giving away their music for free and promises to make the next few years a very interesting time in the music business.76.What is unusual about the Crimea’s business plan ?A.Their business was given away free on the Internet .B.They gave CDs away free in shops .C.They played free concerts.D.They charged more for their CDs.77.The Crimea hope to make money___.A.through CD salesB.by giving concerts and selling T-shirts and other merchandiseC.by selling merchandise on the InternetD.through sales of merchandise in shops78.The Crimea also released CDs for sale in shops because ___.A.people who attend their concerts need themB.they want to make extra moneyC.there are still people who prefer CDs to other formatsD.people who fail to attend their concerts need them79.What is true about sales of music over the last year?A.Overall,sales are up on last year.B.Overall,sales are down on last year.C.There is no change compared to previous salesD.It is not mentioned in the passage.80.What effect has internet had on music piracy?A.It is made it easier to fight piracyB.It has increased the number of pirate CDs available.C.It has made it easier to illegally copy music.D.It has reduced the number of pirate CDs available.Part IV TranslationSection A81.她喜欢看书时听音乐。

Reading Comprehension (45 points)Section A (30 points)Directions: There are three 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 are required to choose the ONE that best fits into the statement. Mark the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet with a single line through the center.Passage 1Questions 16-20 are based on the following passage.Have you ever seen a movie in which a building was burnt down or a bridge was destroyed? Have you seen films in which a train crashed or a ship sank into the ocean? ff so, you may havewondered how these things could happen without harming the people in the film. The man who knows the answer is the special effects man. He has one of the most important jobs in the film industry. He may be ordered to create a flood, or to make a battlefield explode. But he may also be told to create a special effect which is much less exciting, though just as important to the success of the film.In a scene for one movie there was a big glass bowl filled with water in which small fish were swimming. The director of the movie wanted the fish to stop swimming suddenly while they seemed to stare at an actor. Then the director wanted the fish to stop staring and swim away. But fish cannot be ordered to do anything. It was quite a problem.The special-effects man thought about this problem for a long time. The result was an idea for controlling the fish with a harmless use of electricity. First .he applied electricity to the fish bowl causing the fish to be totally still. Then he rapidly reduced the amount of electricity allowing the fish to be swim away. Thus, he got the humorous effect the director wanted.As in other parts of movie making there are those who have developed particular skill in creating certain kinds of effects. For fires, the special-effects man for does not ----------burning proeessof wood or other -----He does not have time to wait until large ---------- -------------- All this requires training,skill and experience.It also adds a great deal to the ------producing the film . It helps explain why so many movies are very expensive to make.16. All the following scenes are probably the results of special effects in films except that ________?A. a bridge was destroyedB. a building was burned downC. a person wondered how not to harm peopleD. a ship sank into the ocean17. The job of a special-effects man is__________.A. most importantB.always exciting.C. less important.D. very rewarding18. --------------_________.A. --B. -----------------------------C. -------------.D. --------.19. -------______.A. ---------B. ---------C. ---------D. ---------------20. ------------ ________.A.-------B. -------C. --------D. ------------------Passage 2Questions 21-25 are based on the following passage.Before a new airliner goes into service Before a new airliner goes into service, every part of it is tested again and again. But there are two tests that are more important than all the others. Once of them is very strange and the other is very dangerous.the first of these is called the “tank test”, a modern airliner must fly at very high altitudes. Air must be pumped into the place so that the passengers can breathe. The metal structure of the plane has to be very strong for this reason. When the plane is filled with air, or “pressured”,the air presses against the skin of the plane inside. The pressure on a small window, for example, is like a huge foot that is trying to get out. If a small part of the plane were to crack, the plane would explode in the sky. This is what happened to the firest Comets. In order to test the structure of the plane, it is lowered into a huge tank of water .Then it is filled with air. The pressure inside the plane is greater than it ever will be when it is in the air. Finally, there is an explosion. This does not eause so much damage inside the water tank as it would anywhere -------------Engineers can discover which part of the plane has cracked. This part is made stronger.The most dangerous test happens when the new plane is going through test flight in the air. The test pilot must find exactly what happens when all the engines are shut off at once. He takes the plane up very high. Then he shuts the engines off, the plane begins to fall like a stone. the pilot’s job to find out how he can get control of the plane again. These two tests are examples of how planes are made safe before they ever carry passengers.21．The purpose of the “tank test” is to find out_______A. How much air passengers need to breathe at certain altitudes.B. How much air can be pumped into the plane.C. What would happen if the plane crashed in the water.D. if there are any weak parts in the plane that would burst under pressure22. -------------?A. --------.B. ------.C. --.D. ------.23．--------------------A. -----B. ----C. --.D. ------24．-------A. --------.B. ---------.C. -------D. -------25. The passage implies that modern airlines are ________A. reliableB. dangerousC. complicatedD. efficientV.Passage 3Questions 23-30 are based on the following passage.American this year will swallow 15,000 tons of aspirin, one of the safest and most effective drugsinvented by man. The most popular medicine in the world today, it is an effective pain reliever. Its badeffects are relatively mild and it is cheap.For millions of people suffering from arthritis (关节炎). It is the only thing that works. Aspirin, inshort, is truly the 20th-century wonder drug. It is also the second largest suicide drug and is the leadingcause of poisoning among children. It has side effects that, although relatively mild, are largely unrecognizedamong users.Although aspirin was at first sold by a German company in1899, it has been around much longer than that. Hippocrates, in ancient Greek, understood the medical value of the leaves and tree bark which today are known to contain salicylates (水杨酸碱), the chemical in aspirin. During the 19th century, there was a great deal of experimentation in Europe with this chemical, and it led to the introduction of aspirin. By 1915,aspirin tablets were available in the United States.A small quantity of aspirin (two-grain tablets) relieves pain and inflammation. It also reduces fever byinterfering with (干预) some of the body's reactions.26. -------.A. ---------B. ---C.---D. ----27. -----A. ----B. ----C. ----D. ----28.---A. --B.---C. ---D. ----29. The author of this arucle seems to be______ ?A. in favor of aspirinB. against the use of aspirinC. not interested in aspirinD. experienced in how to take aspirin30.A good title for thisd passage would be_____A.The Side Effects of AspirinB.Why I Take AspirinC.Aspirin:The Most Popular Medicine in the WorldD.The Commercial Value of AspirinSection B (15 points)Directions: In this section, there is a passage with 10 blanks. You are required to select one word each blank from a list of choices given in a word bank following the passage. Read the passage through carefully before making your choice. Each choice in blank is identified by a letter. Please mark the corresponding letter for each item on the Answer Sheet with a single line through the center. You may not use any of the words in the bank more than once.Question 31-40 are based on the following passage.The world is not only hungry, but it is also thirsty for water. This may 31 strange to you, since nearly 75% of the earth's surface is covered with water. But about 97% of that is sea water, or salt water. Man can only drink and use the other 3% the 32 water that----?---from rivers, lakes, underground, and other sources. And we can not even use all of that. -----------of it is in the form of icebergs and glaciers,Even worse, some of it has been 33 .However, as things stand today, this fresh water is still enough for us. But our need for water is becominglarger and larger quickly-almost day by day. We should take steps to do with this problem now and in thisway we can get away from a serious world-wide water shortage (缺乏) later on.We all have to learn how to stop wasting (浪费) our valuable water. One of the first steps is to develop(开发) ways of reusing it. Today in most large cities, water is used only once and then sent out into a sewersystem(下水道). From there it returns to sea or runs into underground places. But even if every large cityreused its water, we still would not have enough. All we'd have to do to make use of sea water in the worldis to remove the salt. If we take these we will be in no danger of drying up.IV. Cloze (30 points)Directions: There are 20 blanks in the following passage. For each blank there are four choices marked A,B,C and D. You are required to choose the ONE that best fits into the passage. Then mark the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet with a single line through the center.At the age of 21, Steve Jobs and a friend, Stephen Wozniak, built a personal computer calledthe Apple. The Apple changed people’s idea of a computer 41 a gigantic mass of vacuum tubes only big business and the government could 42 to a small box used by ordinary people. No company has done more to 43 the computer and make it use-friendly than Apple Computer Inc. Two years after building the Apple I, Steve Jobs 44 the Apple II. The Apple II was the best buy in 45 computers for home and small business 46 the following five years. Steve Jobs was 47 a brilliant young man in silicon valley, because he saw the future demands of the computer industry. “The personal computer was created by the hardware revolution of the 1970s and the next 48 change wi ll come from a software revolution”, said Jobs.Job was an orphan 49 by Paul and Clara Jobs in 1955. While still in high school, Jobs 50 lectures at the Hewlett-Packard electronics firm. There he was 51 as a summer employee and met another employee, Wozniak, who had a 52 for inventing electronic 53 . --------------------------Early in 1974 Jobs took a job 56 video games for Atari, Inc.

They suggest that people should not carry out important tasks when they feel sleepy. And they believe the best thing to do is to take a nap. About 20 minutes of rest is all you need.

He’d need a fan or a strong wind to help him putthem out.While many people in China will remember Confucius on his special day, few people in the United States will give him a passing thought, because it’s nothing personal. Most Americans don’t even remember the birthdays of their own national heroes.But this doesn’t mean that Americans don’t care about Confucius. In many ways he hasbecome a bridge that foreigners muse cross if they want to reach a deeper understanding of China.In the past two decades, the Chinese Study Programs have gained large popularity in Western universities. More recently, the Chinese government has set up Confucius Institutes in more than 80 countries. These schools teach both Chinese language and culture. The main courses of Chinese culture usually include Chinese art, history and philosophy ( 哲学). Some social scientists suggest that Westerners should take advantage of the ancient Chinese wisdomto make up for the drawbacks (缺陷) of Western philosophy. Students in the United States, atthe same time, are racing to learn Chinese. Businessmen who hope to make money in China are reading books about Confucius to understand their Chinese customers.Today China attracts the West more than ever, and more teachers are needed to introduce Confucius and Chinese culture to the West.66.
