Doctors have long known that breast-feeding can be good for a baby´s health. This is especially true in poor countries, where water can be contaminated. For instance, a baby given formula in developing countries is 14 times more likely to die in the first six months than one who´s breast-fed. In the U.S. , some research has suggested that breast-feeding may raise a baby´s IQ(智商) by a few points. But a recent study with siblings(兄弟姊妹) found little advantage to breast-feeding.

For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. You should decide on the best choice and mark the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet with a single line through the center.Passage 1How often one hears children wishing they were grown up, and old people wishing they were young again. Each age has its pleasures and its pains, and the happiest person is the one who enjoys what each age gives him without wasting his time in useless regrets.Childhood is a time when there are few responsibilities to make life difficult. If a child has good parents, he is fed, looked after and loved, whatever he may do. It is impossible that he will ever again in his life be given so much without having to do anything in return. In addition, life is always presenting new things to the child —things that have lost their interest for older people because they are too well-known. But a child has his pains: he is not so free to do what he wishes to do; he is continually being told not to do things, or being punished for what he has done wrong.When the young man starts to earn his own living, he can no longer expect others to pay for his food, his clothes, and his room, but has to work if he wants to live comfortably. If he spends most of his time playing about in the way that he used to as a child, he will go hungry. And if he breaks the laws of society as he used to break the laws of his parents, he may go to prison. If, however, he works hard, keeps out of trouble and has good health, he can have the great happiness of building up for himself his own position in society.21. According to Paragraph 2, the writer thinks that _______.A. life for a child is comparatively easyB. a child is always loved whatever he doesC. if much is given to a child, he must do something in returnD. only children are interested in life22. After a child grows up, he_____.A. will have little time playingB. has to be successful in finding a jobC. can still ask for help in time of troubleD. should be able to take care of himself23. Which of the following statements is NOT true according to the passage?A. People are often satisfied with their life.B. Life is less interesting for old people.C. Adults are freer to do what they want to do.D. Adults should no longer rely on others.24. The main idea of the passage is that ______.A. life is not enjoyable since each age has some painsB. young men can have the greatest happiness if they work hardC. childhood is the most enjoyable time in one’s lifeD. one is the happiest if he can make good use of each age in his life25. The paragraph following the passage will most probably discuss ______.A. examples of successful young menB. how to build up one’s position in societyC. joys and pains of old peopleD. what to do when one has problems in lifePassage 2Every country tends to accept its own way of life as being the normal one and to praise or criticize others as they are similar to or different from it. And unfortunately, our picture of the people and the way of life of other countries is often a distorted (曲解) one.Here is a great argument in favor of foreign travel and learning foreign languages. It is only by traveling in, or living in a county and getting to know its inhabitants and their language that one can find out what a country and its people are really like. And how different the knowledge one gains this way frequently turns out to be true from the second-hand information gathered from other sources! How often we find that the foreigners whom we thought to be such different people from ourselves are not very different after all!Differences between peoples do of course, exist and, one hopes, will always continue to do so. The world will be a dull place indeed when all the different nationalities behave exactly alike, and some people might say that we are rapidly approaching this state of affairs. With the much greater rapidity and ease of travel, there might seem to be some truth in this at least as far as Europe is concerned. However this may be, at least the greater ease of travel today has revealed to more people than ever before that the Englishman or Frenchman or German is not some different kind of animal from themselves.26. Every country criticizes ways of life in other countries because they are _______.A. distortedB. normalC. similar to each otherD. different from its own27. One who travels in a foreign country and learns its language will ______.A. find out what its people are likeB. argue in favor of this country and the languageC. know the country and its people betterD. like its inhabitants and their language28. The knowledge one gains by traveling in a foreign county is often _______.A. from second-hand informationB. gathered from other sources than from its inhabitantsC. gained from the arguments about the countryD. different from what one had before the travel29. Differences between peoples ________.A. will gradually disappear because of ease of travelB. do exist even though different nationalities behave exactly alikeC. will always continue to exist and the world will be a dull placeD. will not exist as one hopes30. The underlined word “However” most probably means _________.A. somewhatB. by whatever meansC. anyhowD. no matter whatPassage 3We arranged that Kissinger would fly to Vietnam for talks early in July and then stop in Pakistan on the way back. There he would develop a stomachache that would require him to stay in bed and not be seen by the press. Then, with President Yahya’s cooperation he would be taken to an airport where a Pakistan plane would fly him over the mountains to China.Kissinger’s trip was given the code(密码) name Polo after Marco Polo, another Western traveler who made history by journeying to China. Everything went without a hitch. His slight illness in Islamabad received only minor attention from reporters covering him. They accepted the story that he would be confined to bed for at least a couple of days and began making arrangements for their own entertainment.Because of the need for complete secrecy and the lack of any direct communication facilities between Beijing and Washington, I knew that we would have no word from Kissinger while he was in China. Even after he had returned to Pakistan it would still be important to maintain secrecy. So before Kissinger left, we agreed on a single code word —Eureka －which he would use if his mission were successful.On July 11, Al Haig, who knew our code word, phoned me to saythat a cable from Kissinger had arrived.“What’s the message?” I asked.“Eureka,” he replied.31. Kissinger stopped in Pakistan because ______.A. he happened to have a stomachacheB. he needed a rest after a long journeyC. he had a secret mission to perform thereD. he did not want to be seen by the press32. The reporters in Islamabad believed that ______.A. Kissinger was not feeling wellB. Kissinger had just come back from VietnamC. Kissinger had put off leaving for ChinaD. Kissinger was preparing to entertain them33. The statement “everything went without a hitch” (Para.2) most probably means that ______.A. nothing was easy with the missionB. the plans were carried out with great difficultyC. things went smoothlyD. there was no possibility of success34. There was no news from Kissinger while he was in Beijing, chiefly because _______.A. his trip had to be kept secretB. President Yahya did not go with KissingerC. communication between Beijing and Islamabad was difficultD. the negotiation(谈判) was not successful35. The passage implies that Kissinger’s message “Eureka”was sent _______.A. when the negotiation started in BeijingB. as soon as he arrived in WashingtonC. when he flew to Vietnam on July 11D. when the negotiation was completed in BeijingPassage 4No country in the world has more daily newspapers than the U.S.A. There are almost 2,000 of them, as compared with 180 in Japan, 144 in Argentina and 111 in Britain. The quality of some American papers is extremely high and their views are quoted all over the world. Distinguished dailies like the Washington Post or the New York Times have a powerful influence all over the country. However the Post and the Times are not national newspapers in the sense that The times is in Britain or Le Monde is in France, since each American city has its own daily newspaper. The best of these present detailed accounts of national and international news, but many tend to limit themselves to state or city news.Like the press in most other countries, American newspapers range from the “sensational”, which feature crime, sex and rumor, to the serious,which focus on factual news and the analysis of world events. But with few exceptions American newspapers try to entertain as well as give information, for they have to compete with television.Just as American newspapers give way to all tastes, so do they also try and apply to readers for all political persuasions. A few newspapers support extremist (过激分子) groups on the far right and on the far left, but most daily newspapers attempt to attract middle-of-the-road Americans who are essentially moderate. Many of these papers print columns by well-known journalists of different political and social views in order to present a balanced picture.As in other democratic countries American newspapers can be either responsible or irresponsible, but it is generally accepted that the American press serves its country well and that it has more than once bravely uncovered political scandals (丑闻) or crimes, for instance, the Watergate Affair. The newspapers drew the attention of the public to the fears of the Vietnam War.36. There are fewer national newspapers in ______.A. Britain than in the U.S.A.B. France than in BritainC. the U.S.A. than in Britain or FranceD. France than in the U.S.A. or Britain37. Most American newspapers try to entertain their readers because______.A. they have to keep up a good relation with themB. they have to compete with televisionC. they have to write about crime, sex and rumorD. they have to give factual news in an interesting way38. Many American newspapers attract readers of different political tendency by ______.A. supporting extremist groups from time to timeB. inviting middle-of-the-road Americans to write articles for themC. avoiding carrying articles about extremistsD. printing articles representing different political viewpoints39. In this passage the underlined word “press” (Para.2) means ______.A. a machine for printingB. the business of printingC. great forceD. newspapers40. The passage is mainly about ______.A. the characteristics of American newspapersB. the development of American newspapersC. the functions of American newspapersD. the merits and shortcomings of American newspapersPart III Cloze (10 points)Directions: There are 10 blanks in the following passage. For each blanksthere are four choices marked A, B, C and D, you should choose one that best fits into the passage. Then mark the answer by blanking the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet with a pencil.If you feel you have a closer relationship with your grandmother on your mother’s side than on you father’s side, it is no surprise to researchers at the universities of Newcastle and Antwerp. 41 on studies in the Netherlands, they claim that maternal grandparents（外祖父母）are likely to make greater efforts to maintain frequent contact 42 their grandchildren than paternal grandparents（祖父母）.They 43 that psychological behaviors related to human evolution are involved: women are always sure of their relationship to their sons or daughters, 44 men can never be wholly certain they are their children biological fathers.Further more, maternal grandparents are always more certain than paternal grandparents 45 a grandchild is related to them: “Thus maternal grandparents may go the extra mile to visit their grandchildren.”The study, 46 by Thomas Pollet and his colleagues, found that for grandparents 47 within 30 km of their grandchildren, more than 30 per cent of maternal grandmothers and 25 per cent of maternal grandfathers had 48 daily or a few times a week. In 49 , this fell to 15 percent for paternal grandparents.Mr. Pollet said: “Even in families where there has been divorce, wefound 50 differences. Grandparents on your mother’s side make the extra effort.”41. A. Based B. Relied C. Agreed D. Taken42. A. for B. to C. in D. with43. A. demand B. speculate C. deny D. require44. A. where B. whereas C. which D. why45. A. if B. how C. that D. as46. A. come across B. cut back C. covered up D. carried out47. A. departing B. existing C. living D. emerging48. A. contact B. contract C. concern D. conduct49. A. time B. detail C. addition D. contrast50. A. unchanging B. unknown C. unlikely D. UnexpectedPart IV Translate from English to Chinese (20 points)Directions: Read the following passage and translate the 5 parts underlined in the following passage from English into Chinese and write them on the Translation Paper.Scientists find that hard-working people live longer than average men and women. Career women are healthier than housewives. Evidence shows that the jobless are in poorer health than jobholders. (51) Aninvestigation shows that whenever the unemployment rate increases by 1%, the death rate increases by 2%. All this comes down to one point, work is helpful to health.Why is work good for health? It is because work keeps people busy away from loneliness. Researches show that people feel unhappy, worried and lonely when they have nothing to do. Instead, the happiest are those who are busy. (52)Many high achievers who love their careers feel that they are happiest when they are working hard. Work serves as a bridge between man and reality. (53)By work people come into contact with each other. By collective activity they find friendship and warmth. This is helpful to health. The loss of work means the loss of everything. It affects man spiritually and makes him ill.(54 )Besides, work gives one a sense of fulfillment and a sense of achievement. Work makes one feel his value and status in society. When a writer finishes his writing or a doctor successfully operates on a patient ora teacher sees his students grow, they are happy beyond words.(55)From the above we can come to the conclusion that the more you work the happier and healthier you will be. Let us work hard and study hard and live a happy and healthy life.Part V Writing (30 points)For this part, you are allowed 30 minutes to write a composition on the topic: Animals—Pets or Sources of Food and Clothing?

Each passage is followed by 5 questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are 4 choices marked A, B, C and D. Choose the best one and mark your answer on the ANSWER SHEET with a single bar through the center of the letter.Passage OneHere's a familiar story. You're sitting at the dinner table with a furry, four-legged friend scratching at your feet. When you look down, those cute eyes are almost impossible to resist.What is it about a dog's gaze that makes it so charming? A new study by Japanese scientist Miho Nagasawa seems to have found the answer, and it has to do with something called the cuddle（爱抚）chemical.The cuddle chemical has another, more scientific name: oxytocin. Oxytocin is a substance in the blood that encourages bonding. Levels of oxytocin increase, for example, when a mother feeds her newborn baby. According to Nagasawa's study, the same is true when we look deeply into the eyes of a dog.The results of this study can tell us a lot about the history of the bond between humans and dogs. It all started somewhere tens of thousands of years ago. Scientists believe that wolves used to follow humans who were hunting large animals. The wolves would eat the food left behind by the humans.Humans realized that they could use the wolves to help with the hunt, and eventually both species began to work together toward survival.Over time, the wolves that interacted with the humans began to change. They became more loyal to their human partners. The wolves and humans started to depend on each other and bond with each other. These changes are what caused some of the wolves to turn into what we now know as dogs, a new specie^ evolved to better survive in their environment.This process depended a great deal on the bond humans formed with them. And according to Nagasawa's study, this bond was formed with the help of oxytocin, the cuddle chemical.11. What do we know about oxytocin?A. It regulates blood flow.B. It promotes bonding.C. It is in the human gene.D. It is good for health.12. When we look deeply into a dog's eyes, the levels of our oxytocin ____.A. reduce over timeB. go either up or downC. are on the riseD. remain unchanged13. At the beginning wolves followed humans to ____.A. eat the food left by humansB. guard against large animalsC. take humans for foodD. hunt large animals together14. Over time some wolves turned into dogs ____.A. due to their loyaltyB. due to the changing environmentC. for better survivalD. for better cooperation15. What does Nagasawa9s study aim to do?A. Explore the role of human-wolf partnership.B. Show the characteristics of the cuddle chemical.C. Explain the bond between humans and dogs.D. Understand the evolution of species.Passage TwoRed Nose Day (RND) is a well-known event in the UK. The aim of the day is to raise money for a charity called Comic Relief which helps people in need in Africa and in the UK.Comic Relief was started in 1985 by the scriptwriter Richard Curtis. He wrote the famous films 'Four Weddings and a Funeral' and 'Notting Hill'. Richard's idea to start Comic Relief was as a response to the severe famine in Ethiopia* It's called Red "Nose Day as on this day many people buy a plastic red nose to wear! The money made from selling red noses goes to the charity.Red Nose Day takes place every two years in the spring and is now so well established that many people consider it to be an unofficial. For example, many schools have non-uniform days.The slogan for the last RND was ‘Do Something Funny for Money' and the money that was collected helped to fund projects in the following areas, treating malaria （疟疾）, education, and mental health. The BBC Red Nose Day program raised £74.3 million! Money-raising events take place all over the country and many schools participate. People also donate money by post, in banks, by phone using a credit card and online.In the evening of Red Nose Day a telethon takes place on the BBC TV channels. It shows on and on a selection of the events of the day, as well as lots of comic sketches and reports of how the money raised will be spent. People also upload videos of local charity events on YouTube and Facebook.So, if you are ever in the UK on Red Nose Day, now you know why you may find normal people wearing red noses and doing silly things! It's all for a good cause.16. Red Nose Day is ____.A. a traditional holiday in the UKB. a famous event in BritainC. the helping center for poor peopleD. the popular name of a charity17.

When I was two years old my dad got a new job in Poland. Since then I have lived in four other countries around the world. Although I have a British passport，I sometimes don't feel very English at all!One of the best things about moving around a lot when 1 was younger experiencing many diverse cultures and countries.

A community may include people who have at least one common point of interest. In the past, community members lived relatively close to one another in one geographical location: in the same village, town, or city. Nowadays, however, the word community can mean a national, an international, or even an online group of interacting individuals. Therefore, a "new" definition of community might be "a group of people that recognize that they have something in common."Part Ⅵ Writing (15 points)Directions: You are to write in no less than 100 words on the topic "A good book is a light to the soul."

Each passage is followed by some questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. You should decide on the best choice and mark the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet with a single line through the center.Passage OneDante Gabriel Rossetti, the famous 19th-century poet and artist, was once approached by a n elderly man. The old fellow had some drawings that he wanted Rossetti to look at and tell him if they were any good, or if they at least showed potential talent.Rossetti looked them over carefully. After the first few, he knew that they were worthless, showing not the least sign of artistic talent. But Rossetti was a kind man, and he told the elderly man as gently as possible that the pictures were without much value and showed little talent. He was sorry, but he could not lie to the man. The visitor was disappointed, but seemed to have expected Rossetti's judgment.He then apologized for taking up Rossetti’s time, but would he just look at a few more drawings—these done by a young art student? Rossetti looked over the second group of drawings and immediately became enthusiastic over the talent they revealed. “These,” he said, “oh, these are good. This young student has great talent. He has a great future if he will work hard and stick to it.”Rossetti could see that the old fellow was deeply moved. “Who is this fine young artist?” he asked. “Your son?” “No,” said the old man sadly. “It is me—40 years ago. If only I had heard your praise then! For you see, I got discouraged and gave up—too soon.”1. An old man asked Rossetti to .A. draw a picture for himB. teach him how to paintC. evaluate his drawingsD. help improve his painting skills2. Which of the following could be best said about Rossetti?A. Critical.B. Sincere.C. Stubborn.D. Creative.3. How did the old man respond to Rossetti’s negative comment?A. He was angry and desperate.B. He was surprised and disappointed.C. He was discouraged, but took it calmly.D. He was hurt, but could do nothing about it.4. Rossetti said that the young art student .A. would have a bright futureB. had some potential, but not great talentC. was as talented as the old manD. showed little talent in painting5. What does the story try to tell us?A. Never give up too easily.B. No pains, no gains.C. Early bird catches the worm.D. It’s never too old to learnPassage TwoSaving energy means saving money. Homeowners know this basic fact, but they often don’t know what kinds of adjustments they can make in their houses and apartments that will result in savings.For those willing to spend some time and money to reap long-term energy savings, an energy assessment is the way to go. An energy assessor will come into your home and assess its energy efficiency. The assessor will find out areas o f your home that use the most energy and offer solutions to lower your energy use and costs. Trained energy assessors know what to look for and can locate a variety of problems that m a y b e resulting i n energy inefficiency,including inadequate insulation(隔热), construction problems, a n d uneven heat distribution.There are quicker and less costly measures that can be taken as well. One way to save money is to replace bulbs with fluorescents(荧光灯). This can result in a saving of more than 50% on your monthly lighting costs.When it’s time to replace old appliances, it’s wise to spend a bit more for an energy efficient model, and b e sure that you are taking advantage of energy-saving settings already on your current refrigerator, dishwasher, washing machine, or dryer.Windows provide another opportunity to cut your energy costs. Fill the holes or cracks of old windows that might be leaky to let in cold wind, a n d choose double-paned(双层)windows i f you’re building a n addition o r replacing o ld windows. Most areas o f your hom e or apartment offer opportunities to save energy and money. The results are significant and are well worth the effort.6. According to the passage, which of the following would an energy assessor do?A. Change your light bulbs.B. Fix construction problems.C. Replace your old appliances.D. Check your heating system.7. As is implied in the passage, energy assessment is .A. free of chargeB. worthwhile in the long runC. absolutely necessaryD. kind of troublesome8. Which of the following is NOT mentioned in the passage?A. Using fluorescent can cut 50% of the lighting costs.B. Energy efficient appliances should be used.C. A local energy company will send an energy assessor on request.D. Some appliances have energy-saving settings.9.According to the passage, double-paned windows .A. are energy efficientB. can only be used as replacementC. are only used in new buildingsD. will lower your heating costs by 50%10.Which of the following best expresses the main idea of this passage?A. There are many things a homeowner can do to save energy and moneyB. Hiring an energy assessor will save energy and money.C. Homeowners don't know what they can do to save energy and money.D. Replacing windows and light bulbs are well worth the effort and cost.Passage ThreeIs Halloween celebrated where you live? In the United States and Canada, Halloween is widely known and celebrated every year on October 31. Halloween customs, though, can be found i n many other parts o f the globe. I n some places holidays are celebrated that, although named differently, share similar themes: contact with the spirit world involving the spirits of the dead, the devil and angels.Personally, you may not believe in supernatural spirits. You might simply view taking part in Halloween and similar celebrations as a way t o have fun and teach your children to explore their imagination. Many people, though, regard these celebrations a s harmful fo r the following reasons:Firstly, Halloween is actually related to the prospect of contact with spiritual forces, many of which threaten or frighten. Likewise, many celebrations like Halloween have religious origins and are deeply rooted in ancestor worship (祖先崇拜). Even today, people around the world use these days to make contact with supposed spirits of the dead.Secondly, although Halloween has been viewed mainly as an American holiday, each year people i n more and more countries have been adopting it. Many newcomers to the celebration, however, are unaware of the religious origins of Halloween symbols, decorations, and customs, most of which are related to supernatural beings and supernatural forces.Thirdly, thousands of people, who follow ancient Celts(凯尔特⼈), still call Halloween by the ancient name Samhain and consider it to be the most sacred night of the year. Others don’t realize it, while they’ re celebrating the Celtic holiday.I n view o f the foregoing, i t i s wise for you t o know about the dark origins o f Halloween and similar celebrations. Having this fuller understanding may help you decide whether to participate in these holidays.11. According to the author, the theme of Halloween is to .A. celebrate the harvest seasonB. spread religious teachingsC. contact the spirit of the deadD. help children explore their imagination12. Many people regard Halloween celebrations as harmful because .A. the celebrations can disturb the deadB. some of the celebration activities are frighteningC. children may be frightened by supernatural forcesD. some of the celebrations are very dangerous13. Those who celebrate Halloween without knowing its origins may .A. not understand Halloween’s true meaningB. act as strangely as the dead and the devilsC. ruin the atmosphere of the celebrationsD. change their religious beliefs14. According to the passage, Halloween was probably first celebrated by .A. AmericansB. CanadiansC. IndiansD. Celts15. The author’s purpose in writing this passage is to .A. warn people not to celebrate Halloween any moreB. criticize the Halloween celebration activitiesC. tell people to be careful in deciding whether to celebrate HalloweenD. promote the tradition of Halloween and its celebrationsPassage FourAmericans use the term “college students” to mean students either in colleges or universities. Not only that, Americans almost never say “going off t o university” o r “when I was i n university.” That sounds British. Instead, they say “going off t o college” and “when I was in college.”College, university: what' s the difference?Colleges and universities have many things in common. Both offer undergraduate degrees in the arts and sciences, for example. And both ca n help prepare young people t o earn a living. Bu t many colleges d o n o t offer graduate studies. Another difference i s thatuniversities are generally bigger. They offer more programs and do more research.Another place of higher education, especially in technical areas, is an institute, like the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. Yet even an institute of technology can offer a wide choice of programs and activities. M.I.T. says that 75 percent of freshmen come there with a strong interest and involvement in the arts.Modem universities developed from those o f Europe i n th e Middle Ages. T h e word “university” came from th e Latin universitas, describing a group of people organized for a common purpose. “College” came from collegium, a Latin word with a similar meaning. In England, colleges were formed to provide students with places to live. Usually each group was studying the same thing. So college came to mean an area of study.The first American universities divided their studies into a number of areas and called each one a college. This is still true.A college can also be a part of a university. For example, Harvard College is the undergraduate part of Harvard University.Programs in higher learning can also be called schools, like a school of engineering or a medical school within university. You know, learning all these terms is an education in itself.16. Americans use “college students” to refer to students either in colleges or universities, because .A. there are more colleges than universities in AmericaB. colleges and universities are actually the sameC. both colleges and universities can offer degreesD. colleges and universities have many things in common17. One of the differences between colleges and universities is that .A. colleges do not do researchB. no college offers graduate studiesC. colleges often offer fewer programsD. universities don’t provide dormitories18. According to the passage, institutes .A. cover no other areas but technical onesB. have functions similar to colleges and universitiesC. provide 75% of their programs in technical areasD. are at a lower level of higher education19. The terms of “college” and “university” in LatinA. have similar meaningsB. mean quite differentlyC. refer to the same thingD. are confusing in English20. The main idea of this passage is toA.introduce the institutions in higher educationB.evaluate the institutions in higher educationC.clarify the institution terms in higher educationD.classify the institutions in higher educationPart III Cloze (10%)Directions: There are 10 blanks in the following passage. For each blanks there are four choices marked A, B, C and D, you should choose one that best fits into the passage. Then mark the answer by blanking the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet with a pencil.Living in a city has both advantages and disadvantages. On the plus side, it is often 1 to find work, and there is usually a choice of public transport, so you don’t need to own a car. 2 , there are a lot of interesting things to do and places to see 3 , you restaurants, visit museums, and 4 to the theatre and to concerts. What you want to relax, you can usually find a park 5 you can feed the ducks or just sit on a park bench and read a book. All in all, city life is full of variety and you need never feel 6 .However, for every plus 7 is a minus. For one thing, you might have a job, but 8 it is very well-paid, you will not be able to afford many o f the things that there are t o do,because living i n a city i s often very expensive. I t i s particularly difficult t o find good, 9 accommodation. What is more, public transport is sometimes crowded and dirty,especially during the 10 hours, and even the parks can become very crowded, especially on Sundays when it seems that every resident i s looking for some open space and green grass. Last of all, despite all the crowds, it is still possible to feel very lonely in a city.1. A. easier B. happier C. sadder D. harder2. A. Nonetheless B. Also C. Therefore D. However3. A.

A. night B. rush C. morning D. afternoonPart IV Translate from English to ChineseDirections: Read the following passage and translate the 5 parts underlined in the following passage from English into Chinese and writethem on the Translation Paper.Too many people think that intelligence is a gift of nature and that there i s little anyone can d o t o improve theirs. (1) I Q tests have managed to confuse many of us, leading us to believe that intelligence is largely fixed. It is not.(2) Just like swimming, cooking, dancing, and just about anything else, being smart is a skill that requires training. I will share with you some of what I have learned.Be PersistentSmart, successful people don’t give up. They believe that they can do it, and so they keep trying until, finally, they succeed. You might know that Thomas Edison failed thousands of times before h e succeeded. (3) What you might not.know i s that just about all scientists experience failure on a regular basis. So if you want to be smart, be persistent.Learn to Present Your IdeasTwo people can have the same ideas, and the same views and opinions, and yet only one of them might be considered smart. We often forget that everyone is busy with their own lives; they don't have time to think about and analyze everything we say. (4) If we don’t sell our ideas, virtually no one will recognize their merit. So, if you want others to know that you’re smart, learn how to present your ideas.Believe in yourself(5) We are all a lot more similar than we appear. Those who appear smarter than you simply had the right tools and used these tools to exercise their minds.Part V Writing (15%)For this part, you are allowed 30 minutes to write a composition on the topic: Overseas Study at an Early Age. Write at least 100 words and base your composition on the outline below and use the words for references as many as you can.1. ⽬前很多⽗母在孩⼦⾼中毕业前就送他们出国学习2. 导致这种趋势的原因3. 我对此的看法成⼈学⼠学位英语考试模拟试卷答案解析Part I Vocabulary and Structure1-5 A C A C D6-10 A C B C A11-15 C B C B C16-20 B D D B B21-25 D A D A C26-30 C C A D B31-35 A C C D C36-40 C C B D APart II Reading Comprehension1-5 C B C A A6-10 D B C A A11-15 C B A D C16-20 D C B A CPart III Cloze1-5 A B A D B6-10 C C A B BPart IV Translate from English to Chinese1. 智商测试成功地误导了许多⼈，让我们以为智⼒基本上是固定不变的。

For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. You should decide on the best choice and mark the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet with a single line through the center.Passage 1Questions 1 to 5 are based on the following passage :Washi ngton Irvi ng was America' s first man of letters to be known intern ati on ally. His works were received enthusiastically both in England and in the United States. He was, in fact, one of the most successful writers of his time in the country, and at the same time winning the admiration of fellow writers like Scott in Britain and Poe and Hawthorne in the United States.(76) The respect in which he was held partly owi ng to the man himself, with his warm frien dli ness, his good sen se, his urba nity, his gay spirits, his artistic in tegrity, his love of both the Old World and the New.Thackeray described Irving as "a gentleman, who, though himself born in no very high sphere,was most fini shed, polished, witty ; socially the equal of the most refined Europea ns. " ( 77 ) InEngland he was gran ted an honorary degree from Oxford--a n unu sual honor for a citize n of ayoung, un cultured n ati on--and he received the medal of the Royal Society of Literature. Americamade him ambassador to Spain.Irving's background provides little to explain his literary achievements. A gifted but delicate child, he had little schooli ng. He studied law, but without zeal, and n ever did practice seriously.He was immune to his strict Presbyterian home environment, frequenting both social gatheri ngs and the theater.1. The main point of the first paragraph is that Washington Irving wasA. America' s first man of lettersB. a writer who had great success both in and outside his own countryC. a man who was able to move from literature to politicsD. a man whose personal charm enabled him to get by with basically inferior work2. What is implied by the mention of Scott, Poe and Hawthorne?A. Irvi ng enjoyed great popular admirati on.B. Scott. Poe and Hawthorne were primarily responsible for Irving's success.C. lrving's work was not only popular, but also of high literary quality.D. More America ns tha n Brit ons admired Irvi ng.3. Which of the following best describes the effect of Irving' s Presbyterian backgro und on his life?A. It fostered his love for the theater.B. It developed his skill in bus in ess.C. It prompted his in terest in law.D. It had almost no effect on his life.4. Which of the following best describes the effect of Irving's personal qualities on his literary success?A. His personal qualities were entirely responsible for his literary success.B. His personal qualities were primarily responsible for his literary success.C. His pers onal qualities had some effects on his literary success.D. His pers onal qualities had no effects on his literary success.5. Why might Irving's literary ability have been surprising to the English?A. They feared competiti on from America n writers.B. They did not expect the United States to produce good writers.C. They disapproved of the Ian guage America n writers used.D. They thought of the United States as a purely commercial power.Passage 2Questions 6 to 10 are based on the following passage:Traditio nally, uni versities have carried out two main activities: research and teachi ng.Many experts would argue that both these activities play a critical role in serving the commun ity. The fun dame ntal questi on, however, is how does the com mun ity want or n eed to be served?In rece nt years uni versities have bee n coming un der in creas ing pressure from both the gover nments and the public to en sure that they do not rema in "ivory towers ( 象牙塔)"of study separated from the realities of everyday life. Un iversity teachers have bee n en couraged, and in some cases con stra ined (强迫),to provide more courses which produce graduates with the tech ni cal skills required for the commercial use. (78) If Aristotle wan ted to work in a uni versity in the UK today, he would have a good cha nee of teach ing computer scie nee but would not be so readily employable as a philosopher.A post-industrial society requires large numbers of computer programmers, engin eers, man agers and tech ni cia ns to mai nta in and develop its econo mic growth but "man", as the Bible says, "does not live by bread alone. " (79) Apart from requiri ng medical and social services, which do not directly con tribute to econo mic growth, the society should also value and enjoy literature, music and the arts. Because they can also promote economic growth. A successful musical play, for in sta nee, can con tribute as much to the Gross Natio nal Product through tourist dollars as any other thi ngs.6. The main idea of the first paragraph is thaLA. traditional universities do a good job serving the societyB. universities must meet the needs of the societyC. research and teachi ng are of great importa nee in uni versitiesD. universities play an important role in our society7. We can infer from the second paragraph that_A. the society is not satisfied with the present college educationB. the governments interfere too much with college educationC. teacher are forced to do what they don' t like to doD. teachers dislike teaching commercially useful courses8. The Aristotle example is used to make the point that_A. universities in the UK have produced too much good for graduatesB. such abstract subjects as philosophy is no Ion ger usefulC. education should serve the social needsD. it is advisable for today' s philosophers to know computer scienee9. According to the passage literature , music and the arts_A. do not con tribute to econo mic growth at allB. are less useful to the society because they do not make direct contribution to econo mic growthC. are similar to medical and social services in their way of promoting economic growthD. should develop only when they are good for economic growth10. The author believes that_A. art is useful only when it is made into a money earnerB. the promotion of economic growth is the only goal of today' s societyC. universities should not provide literature or art coursesD. the society needs both technical skills and artsPassage 3Questions 11to 1 5 are based on the following pass a geAll the useful en ergy at the surface of the earth comes from the activity of the sun'.The sun heats and feeds creatures and mankind Each year it provides men with two hundred million tons of grain and nearly ten million tons of wood , coal, oil, natural gas, and all other fuels are stored energy from the sun.(80)Some was collected by this seas on's pla nts as carb on compo un dsSome was stored by plants and trees ages agoEve n waterpower derives from the sun.

For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. You should decideon the best choice and mark the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet with a single line throughthe center.Passage 1Questions 1 to 5 are based on the following passage :Long bus rides are like television shows. They have a beginning, a middle, and an end--withcommercials thrown in every three or four minutes. The commercials are unavoidable. They happenwhether you want them or not. Every couple of minutes a billboard glides by outside the bus window. "Buy Super Clean Toothpaste. "" Drink Root Beer. " "Fill up with Pacific Gas. " Only if yousleep, which is equal to turning the television set off, are you spared the unending cry of "YouNeed It! Buy It Now ! "The beginning of the ride is comfortable and somewhat exciting, even if you' ve traveled thatway before. Usually some things have changed--new houses, new buildings, sometimes even anew road. (76) The bus driver has a style of driving and it' s fun to try to figure it out the first houror so. If the driver is particularly reckless or daring, the ride can be as thrilling as a suspense story.Will the driver pass the truck in time? Will the driver move into the right or the left-hand lane? After a while, of course, the excitement dies down. Sleeping for a while helps pass the middle hoursof the ride. Food always makes bus rides more interesting. But you' ve got to be careful of whatkind of food you eat. Too much salty food can make you very thirsty between stops.The end of the ride is somewhat like the beginning. You know it will soon be over and there' sa kind of expectation and excitement in that. The seat, of course, has become harder as the hourshave passed. (77)By now you' ve sat with your legs crossed, with your hands in your lap, withyour hands on the armrests--even with your hands crossed behind your head. The end comes just atthe right time. There are just no more ways to sit.1. According to the passage, what do the passengers usually see when they are on a long bus trip?A. Buses on the road.B. Films on television.C. Advertisements on the board.D. Gas stations.2. What is the purpose of this passage?A. To give the writer' s opinion about long bus trips.B. To persuade you to take a long bus trip.C.

The writer of this passage would probably be in favor ofA. bus drivers who weren' t recklessB. driving aloneC. a television set on the busD. no billboards along the road4. The writer feels long bus rides are like TV shows becauseA. the commercials both on TV shows and on billboards along the road are funminutesC. the drivers are always reckless on TV shows just as they are on busesD. both traveling and watching TV are not exciting5. The writer thinks that the end of the ride is somewhat like the beginning because both areA. excitingB. comfortableC. tiringD. boringPassage 2Questions 6 to 10 are based on the following passage:It was not much fun to travel on one of the old sailing ships. Life was hard for both passengersand crew. (78)17th century sailing ships were small and rolled heavily in rough seas, so most ofthe passengers were seasick.There were no toilets, and the spaces below deck where passengers had to stay during galeswere often not more than 5 foot high. Water was scarce and the little water they got was brown andsmelt terrible. Food was a problem, too--there was only salted meat, ship' s biscuits and cheese, but thecheese was so hard that sailors often made buttons out of it for their jackets and trousers. Therewere no vegetables or fruit, so the people on board often fell ill.The sailors, however, were a bit better off than the passengers. They each had a bottle of beera day, and they needed. The work they had to do was hard and dangerous. (79)Courage was needed, for the heavy sails had to be set and taken down in all kinds of weather, and quite often sailors were swept overboard in a gale. Almost the worst thing about the voyages was the time theytook up to 70 days for the journey across the Atlantic. Not surprisingly, everybody was overjoyedwhen they at last approached land and stepped ashore. But some ships never arrived.6. In the 17th centuryA. life on old sailing ships was enjoyableB. people enjoyed sailing old ships in rough seasC. most of the passengers felt comfortable when the ship was rollingD. it was very painful for both passengers and crew during the voyage7.

Which of the following statements is tree about food?A. Passengers had a lot of vegetables, but no fruit.B. The sailors had four tins of beer a day.C. The people on the ship often fell ill because of the lack of food.D. The food for the passengers was more and better than that for the crew.9. The working condition of the sailors was very hard.A. They often had to set the sails in bad weather.B. So they had less courage.C. They were happy to be swept overboard in a strong wind.D. A 70-day-journey across the Atlantic was their happiest thing.10. When the people saw the land,A. only passengers were gladB. the sailors had to swim ashoreD. all of them were excitedPassage 3Questions 11to 15 are based on the following passage:No country in the world has more daily newspapers than the USA. There are almost 2,000 ofthem, as compared with 180 in Japan, 164 in Argentina and 111 in Britain. The quality of someAmerican papers is extremely high and their views are quoted all over the world. Distinguished dailies like the Washington Post or the New York Times have a powerful influence all over the country.However, the Post and the Times are not national newspapers in the sense that The Times is inBritain or LeMonde is in France, since each American city has its own daily newspaper. The bestof these present detailed accounts of national and international news, but many tend to limit them-selves to state or cite news.Like the press in most other countries, American newspapers range from the "sensational",which feature crime, sex and rumor, to the serious, which focus on factual news and the analysisof world events. But with few exceptions American newspapers try to entertain as well as give in-formation, for they have to compete with television.Just as American newspapers give way to all tastes, so do they also try and apply to readersfor all political persuasions. (80)A few newspapers support extremist groups on the far right andon the far left, but most daily newspapers attempt to attract middle-of-the-road Americans who areessentially moderate. Many of these papers print columns by well-known journalists of different political and social views, in order to present a balanced picture.As in other democratic countries American newspapers can be either responsible or irresponsible, but it is generally accepted that the American press serves its country well and that it has morethan once bravely uncovered political scandals (丑闻) or crimes, for instance, the Watergate Affair. The newspapers drew the attention of the public to the fears of the Vietnam War.11. There are fewer national newspapers inA. Britain than in the USAB. France than in BritainC. the USA than in Britain or FranceD. France than in the USA or Britain12. Most American newspapers try to entertain their readers because .A. they have to keep up a good relation with themB. they have to compete with televisionC. they have to write about crime, sex and rumorD. they have to give factual news in an interesting way13. Many American newspapers attract readers of different political tendency byA. supporting extremist groups from time to timeB. inviting middle-of-the-road Americans to write articles for themC. avoiding carrying articles about extremistsD. printing articles representing different political viewpoints14. In this passage, the word "press" ( Para. 2) meansA. a machine for printingB. the business of printingC. great forceD. newspapers15. The passage is mainly aboutA. the characteristics of American newspapersB. the development of American newspapersC. the functions of American newspapersPart II Vocabulary and Structure (30%)Directions: In this part there are 30 incomplete sentences.
