Like all English boys who prepared for college in grammar schools, he had learned not only to read Latin but also to speak and write it smoothly and correctly. His pronunciation of Latin was English, however, and seemed to have sounded strange to his friends when he later visited Italy.Schoolboys gained their skill in Latin in a bitter way. They kept in mind the rules to make learning by heart easier. They first made a word-for-word translation and then an idiomatic translation into English. As they increased their skill, they translated their English back into Latin without referring to the book and then comparedtheir translation with the original. The schoolmaster was always at hand to encourage them. All schoolmasters believed Latin should be beaten in.After several years of study, the boys began to write compositions in imitation of the Latin writers they read. And as they began to read Latin poems, they began to write poems in Latin. Because Milton was already a poet at ten, his poems were much better than those painfully put together by the other boys. During the seven years Milton spent at university, he made regular use of his command of Latin. He wrote some excellent Latin poems, which he published among his works in 1645.68. What does the passage mainly tell about?A. How John Milton wrote “Paradise Lost”.B. How John Milton studied Latin.C. How John Milton became famous.D. How John Milton became a poet.69. It can be inferred from the passage that .A. Milton’s training in Latin was similar to that of the other boysB. Milton hadn’t learned any foreign language except Latin before going to collegeC. Milton’s Italian friends helped him with Latin when talkingD. Milton’s classmates learned Latin harder but worse than Milton70. Which of the following is suggested in the passage?A. The schoolmaster mainly helped those who were bad at Latin.B. The schoolmaster usually stood beside the boys with a stick in his hand.C. The schoolboys could repeat Latin grammar rules from memory.D. Some of the schoolboys were quick at writing compositions in Latin.71. What is the meaning of the underlined part “Latin should be beaten in”that the writer wishes you tounderstand?A. Schoolboys should be punished if they were lazy to learn Latin.B. Schoolboys should be encouraged if they had difficulty in learning Latin.C. Schoolboys were expected to master Latin in a short time.D. Schoolboys had to study Latin in a hard way.CPeople landing at London’s Heathrow airport have something new to look at as they fly over Britain’s capital city. It is attractive, simple and a little strange. The Millennium Dome is a huge semi-circle of plastic and steel and it contains the largest public space in the world. It has been built to house an exhibition of all that is best in British life, learning and leisure.The Millennium Dome was designed by Sir Richard Rogers, one of Britain’s most famous architects. His work points the way to new developments in building. Think of it as a giant symbol of the buildings in which we will all be living and working in the near future.Buildings are also a part of history. They express the culture of the times. Sir Richard Rogers is aware of this responsibility. While different designers have individual styles, their work also has a common style. That is: to express the values of the information age.What is an “information age” Building? The dome is a good example. After the Millennium exhibition ends, it will be used for another purpose. Just as people no longer have “jobs for life”, modern buildings are designed for a number of different uses.Another Richard Roger’s building, the Pompidou Center in France, uses the idea that information is communication. Instead of being hidden in the walls, heating pipes and elevators are open to public view. The Pompidou Center is a very honest building. It tells you how it works.72. Sir Richard Rogers clearly knows that it is his duty to ,A. create something out of a unique styleB. house those people who will often change their jobsC. make his buildings historic onesD. construct a building that can meet the changes of the modern age73. The sentence “His work points the way to new developments in building” (Line 2, Para. 2) implies that thedesigner Sir Richard Rogers .A. has developed a new set of building standardsB. strictly follows the tradition in his workC. is a pioneer architect of his ageD. is the father of modern architecture74. The Pompidou Center in France is outstanding in the fact that .A. people in it are able to visit each other convenientlyB. visitors can see clearly the structure and facilities of the whole buildingC. it makes use of the best techniques invented in the information ageD. it was designed and built by an honest British designer75. This short passage mainly tells us about .A. the unique contribution of a famous architectB. modern buildings of various stylesC. a few developments in house-buildingD. the common features of British and French buildingsDThere’s a professor at the University of Toronto in Canada who has come up with a term to describe the way a lot of us North Americans interact these days. And now a big research study confirms it.Barry Wellman’s term is “networked individualism.” It’s not the easiest concept to grasp. In fact, the words seem to contradict each other. How can we be individualistic and networked at the same time? You need other people for networks.Here’s what he means. Until the Internet and e-mail came along, our social networks involved flesh-and-blood relatives, friends, neighbors, and colleagues at work. Some of the interaction was by phone, but it was still voice to voice, person to person, in real time.But the latest study by the Pew Internet and American Life Project confirms that for a lot of people, electronic interaction through the computer has replaced a great deal of social interchange. A lot of folks Pew talked with say that’s a good thing, because of concerns that the Internet was turning us into hermits who shut out other people in favor of a make-believe world on flickering computer screens.To the contrary, the Pew study discovered. The Internet has put us in touch with many MORE real people than we’d have ever imagined. Helpful people, too. We’re turning to an ever-growing list of cyber friends for advice on careers, medical crises, childrearing, and choosing a school or college. About 60 million Americans told Pew that the Internet plays an important or crucial role in helping them deal with major life decisions.So we networked individuals are pretty tricky: We’re keeping more to ourselves, while at the same time reaching out to more people, all with just the click of a computer mouse!76. In this article, a network is a group of connected .A. radio or TV stationsB. peopleC. computersD. roads77. Before the invention of the Internet, our connections with people took place mainly .A. in personB. by phoneC. by letterD. by email78. Which of the following has happened since the invention of the Internet and email?A. People are talking on the phone more than ever.B. Interaction through the computer has replaced a lot of person to person interaction.C. Americans are turning into hermits.D. Sixty million Americans have bought computers.79. Which of the following was NOT one of the discoveries of the Pew study?A. The Internet has put us in touch with more people than expected.B. People use the Internet to get advice on careers, medical problems, and other questions.C. For many Americans, the Internet plays an important role in helping them make important decisions.D. “Internet addiction” is a growing problem among people who use computers.Directions:Read the following text and choose the most suitable heading from A-F for eachparagraph. There is one extra heading which you do not need.ESteps to a Perfect Holiday80. _________When you sit down to plan your holiday, the first step is to make sure you’re very clear about what you want to get out of it. Do you want an immersion in culture, or do you want to simply recharge your body batteries? Do you want to read a sack of novels or tango till dawn? Do you want extensive family bonding time or time for every member of the family to try things on their own?81. _________Get a good guidebook or two and read up on the culture, history and attractions of the destination. Surf the Internet for more information; read local publications online. The more you know, the better you’ll be able to appreciate the place and choose from the many options it presents. And the better you’ll understand all the new things – sights, issues, people, rituals – you encounter.82. ________Take clothes that are adaptable and cram everything you need into a carry – on bag if you can. You heart will soar when you get to skip a line at check-in – and when you arrive and breeze by passengers waiting for their bags.83. ________Remember that the best moments of just about any trip are the unexpected ones. Leave plenty of time to visit an irresistible shop, have a long chat with an old-timer at a café or go on an impromptu day trip with new-found friends to a secret local spot.84. _________Eat where the locals eat; shop where they shop Ask the hotel clerk for recommendations. On my last trip to Hawaii, I heard about a neighbourhood hula festival from a hotel clerk. I feasted on homemade bread and friedchicken, and watched a heart-warming hula. It’s one of my most treasured memories. Open yourself up to the locals and you’ll find your most precious souvenirs.第II卷（共４５分）I. Translation: 20分1. 一个没有方向感的人在陌生地方很容易迷路。

Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have just read.AThe year 2009 has witnessed the spread of Flu A-H1N1(甲型流感)and as the winter is approaching, it rends to regain its power. These days,one of the most popular words may be: Have you got a flu vaccineshot(注射) so far. Even in the USA, President Barack Obama declaredA-H1N1 flu a national emergency and the Centers for Disease Controland Prevention is recommending that all children aged from 6 monthsto 18 years should receive the flu vaccine.Vaccines battle diseases caused by bacteria and viruses. A weakened form of the germ is introduced into the body. The body makes special substances called antibodies to fight the germs. If the actual germs were to attack, the antibodies would fight it.Because there are many kinds of flu viruses, scientists must create a new vaccine formula (方程式) each year. Researchers must make a prediction.It is like forecasting the weather. Sometimes they are right on, and sometimes they are off. But even when the vaccine does not closely match circulating flu types, it can make the illness less serious.“The H1N1 vaccine is not as effective as the polio(小儿麻痹症) vaccine or the measles vaccine,” says Dr William Schaffner of Vanderbilt University of Medicine. “It's not a great vaccine, but it is quite a good vaccine.”But the H1N1 vaccine doesn't work for everyone. There are certain people who should be careful about taking it because the vaccine is produced in eggs, those who are allergic(过敏的) to eggs should not take it. If you have a fever, you should wait until you recover.Some people are afraid that they might get the flu from the flu shot or the H1N1 vaccine is likely to have some side effects on them. World Health Organization (WHO) announced on Nov 3, 2009 that it is safe to have a vaccine shot because the viruses in the flu shot are inactivated and they have been working on a global H1NI vaccine production plan. However, some minor side effects such as low-grade fever and body ache could occur. If they do, they begin soon after the shot, so it is better to have a half-hour observation after the shot.63. Which of the following is the proper definition of “vaccine” ?A. Virus used for fighting against disease.B. Antibodies to fight germs.C. Formula to fight against disease.D. Substance containing virus used for protecting people against diseases.64. By saying “It's not a great vaccine, but it is quite a good vaccine', the author means the flu vaccineA. is not as effective as the polio and measles vaccinesB. is not effective, compared with the polio and measles vaccinesC. does help to make illness less seriousD. is quite good because it works for everyone65. We can infer from the passage that _______.A. those who are allergic to eggs should not take flu vaccineB. all the flu vaccines are not effective for everyoneC. you should go to a doctor if you have a fever or body ache after taking the flu vaccineD. it is possible that some people might get the flu from the flu shot66. It is not advisable for everyone to take flu vaccine because _______.A. there are many kinds of virusB. the flu vaccine is not as effective as the polio and measles vaccinesC. someone may be allergic to itD. it has some minor side-effectsBTaiwan Flood and Typhoon Relief 88 Free Concerts & Auction Nights On August 8, 2009, Taiwan suffered from the hit of Typhoon Morakot, which caused a great loss of lives and damage.

It is the world's 2nd biggest piracy hotspot after Indonesia. More than 130 merchant ships were attacked in the region last year and an tenfold(十倍的) increase was noted in the first ten months of 2009 and in October alone, three ships were hijacked there, including a ship with 25 crew from China. Somalia has had no effective central authority since former president Mohamed Siad Barre was driven out of the country in 1991. The government collapsed, setting off a bloody cycle of conflicts between different groups and it has been a war-torn nation ever since. Its nine million people have been teetering on starvation and more than forty percent of its people depend on food aid.There has been a lot of discussion in the media about how to drive piracy off the coast of Somalia. Much less attention has been given to the complex sources of political disorder and poverty that have led many Somalis into piracy. Other facts are that foreign shipping companies have been dumping nuclear waste off the coast of Somalia and robbing the country of its fishingindustry. Many of Somalia’s “pirates” initially organized to defend their coast against this pollution and robbery.Somali pirates operate in the Indian Ocean and the Gulf of Aden. The pirates have fast boats, modem weapons and equipment like satellite phones and global positioning systems(GPS全球定位系统). The generally do not steal goods or kill hostages. They are believed to be holding seventeen ships with about three hundred crew members.Some of the world's heaviest shipping traffic passes the Somali coast. But major shipping companies have begun to consider new routes. Navy ships from America, Russia, China and other countries are now watching for pirates. But the area to protect covers more than one hundred sixty million square kilometers.Besides no effective governing on shore, the shipping companies are also part of the problems. Paying them a sum of money to get it back is an economical decision, which contributes to a general climate of piracy. Further more, the military response has made the problem more complicated. Kenya (肯尼亚) has advised organizing a major international conference to solve the problems. But it seems a long way to go and we must get to know the fact that the world cannot end piracy and civil war without dealing with Somalia's political problems.1. According to the passage, the biggest piracy hotspot is ________.2. What have led many Somalis into piracy? (Your answer must be limited within 10 words)3. What is the purpose of Somali pirates’ hijacking since they generally don’t steal goods or kill hostages?4. We can safely conclude that the key to solving the piracy in Somalia is _________.(Write your answers on your answer sheet.)DWord came on Friday that U.S. President Barack Obama was awarded the 2009 Nobel Peace Prize, and he would join the ranks of history's great persons as the newest Nobel Peace Prize recipient. The Nobel prizes have been awarded annually since 1901 to those who bought the greatest benefit to mank ind during the previous year.” Quite a lot of people have been awarded the prize, such as Mother Theresa, Ghandi, FDR …On Oct. 9, Friday, Obama said that he was surprised to learn that he won the Nobel Peace Prize of 2009, which he saw as a “call for action.” Speaking to reporters in the Rose Garden of the White House, he said he was “both surprised and deeply humbled” to accept the award and didn't view it as recognition of his own accomplishments. He also said he would travel to Oslo to accept the prize on Dec. 10.Rather, the prize should be regarded as recognition of the goals he set for the United States and the world. “I will accept this award as a call for action, a call for all nations to face up to the common challenges of the 21st century,” Obama said, “the challenges, including nuclear nonproliferation(防止核扩散), fighting against climate change and energy crisis, can't be met by any one leader or any one nation. That is why I have been working to establish a new era of engagement in which all natio ns must take responsibility for the world we seek.” he said. Obama is the fourth U.S. president to win the Nobel Peace Prize and the third sitting president to do so. “The president will donate the entire $1.4 million prize to charity,” White House spoke sman Robert Gibbs said, “but hasn't decided yet which organizations will share the windfall”Reactions to his winning of the Nobel Peace Prize are mixed both in and out of the United States. Some like former U.S. President Jimmy Carter, the Nobel Peace Prize winner of 2002, said Obama's award is “a bold statement of international support for his vision and commitment to peace and harmony in international relations.” However, Former Polish President Lech Walesa, who won the prize in 1983, questioned whether Obama deserved it now. And U.S. Republican Party Chairman Michael Steele remarked that Obama won the prize as a result of his star power rather than meaningful accomplishments and the real question Americans were asking was what he has actually accomplishe d. “So soon and too early. He has done nothing but joy ride and give teleprompter (讲词提示机) speeches so far. He is still at an early stage. He is only beginning to act,” said Walesa, a netizen.71. The underlined phrase “the third sitting president” probab ly means ________.A. the third president alive.B. the third president in power.C. the third president who loves peace.D. the third president who donates the prize.72. Those who questioned Obama’s winning of the Nobel Peace Prize held t he following opinions except that ______.A. it was a call for actionB. it was so soon and too earlyC. he won because of his star effectD. he had no contribution73. We can infer from the passage that _______.A. Obama considered that he did deserve the prize.B. Obama hadn’t expected that he would win the prize.C. Obama felt that the prize was a call for him to do more.D. Obama regarded the prize as recognition of what he had done.74. Reactions to Obama’s winning of the Nobe l Peace Prize are mixed because _______.A. people think Obama shouldn’t be awarded the prize.B. Obama is the first black president in the United StatesC. the challenges of the world can’t be met by any one leader.D. people hold different opinions about his winning of the prize.EThe question of what children learn, and how they should learn it, is continually being debated and redebated. Nobody dares any longer to defend the old system, the parrot-fashion (way of learning by repeating what others say) of learning lessons, the grammar-with-a-whip (鞭子) system, which was good enough for our grandparents. The theories of modern psychology have stepped in to argue that we must understand the needs of our children. Children are not just small adults; they are children who must be respected as such.Well, you may say, this is as it should be, and a good idea. But think further. What happens? “Education” becomes the responsibility not of teachers, but of psychologists. What happens then? Teachers worry too much about the psychological implications(暗示) of their lessons, and forget about the subjects themselves. If a child dislikes a lesson, the teacher feels that it is his fault, not the child's. So teachers worry whether history is “relevant'' to modem young children. And do they dare to recount stories about violent battles? Or will this make the children themselves violent? Can they tell their classes about children of different races, or will this encourage racial hatred7 Why teach children to write grammatical sentences? Oral expression is better. Sums? Arithmetic? No: real-life mathematical situations are more understandable.You see, you can go too far. Influenced by educational theorists, who have nothing better to do than write books about their ideas, teachers leave their teaching-training colleges filled with grand, psychological ideas about children and their needs. They make complicated preparations and try out their “modern methods” on the long-suffering children. Since one “modern method” rapidly replaces another, the poor kids will have well been fed up by the time they leave school. Frequently the modern methods are so complicated that they fail to be understood by the teachers, let alone the children; even more often, the relaxed discipline which is so necessary for the “informal” class prev ents all but a handful of children from learning anything.75. Under the old system, children were _______.A. made to learn passively.B. spoiled by their parents.C. treated equally as adults.D. were forced to become parrots.76. Modern psychologists hold the view that _______.A. children are better off without learning lessons.B. children must be understood and respected.C. children are small adults and they know what they need.D. education of children is the responsibility of psychologists.77. What happens when teachers give lessons with the theories of modern psychology?A. They find that more and more children like their lessons.B. They don't pay enough attention to students' actual lessons.C. They must make full preparations and try out modern methods.D. They find that the relaxed discipline is so necessary for children.78. What is the author's attitude toward the theories of modern psychology?A. Uninterested.B. Acceptable.C. Satisfied.D. Critical. Section CDirections: Read the following text and choose the most suitable heading from the list A--F for1. ______________For growing number of people; the food for their dinner is found in the garbage bins outside supermarkets. They are “freegans”--ordinary, middle class people who search through dustbins for eatable food. The freegan movement is most popular in America, especially in New York City. “Freeganism is a reaction to waste,” says activist Adam Weissman, “But it's also a reaction to injustices and exploitation that go into producing goods in the first place.”2.______________A 1997 study by the US Department of Agriculture estimated that the US wastes about 43 billion kilograms of food a year, about 27 percent of US production, but the tree figure is as much as 50 percent. “The No. 1 problem is that Americans have lost touch with what food is for,” Professor Jones said. “We have lost touch with the processes that bring it to the table.” In。

For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have just read.(A)If you are a recent social science graduate who has had to listen to jokes about unemployment from your computer major classmates, you may have had the last laugh. There are many advantages for the social science major because this high-tech “information Age” demands people who are flexible and who have good communication skills.There are many social science majors in large companies who fill important positions. For example, a number of research studies found that social science majors had achieved greatermanagerial success than those who had technical training or pre-professional courses. Studies show that social science majors are most suited for change, which is the leading feature of the kind of high speed, high-pressure, high-tech world we now live in.Social science majors are not only experiencing success in their long-term company jobs, but they are also finding jobs more easily. A study showed that many companies had filled a large percentage of their entry-level positions with social science graduates. The study also showed that the most sought-after quality in a person who was looking for a job was communication skills, noted as “very important” by 92% of the companies. Soc ial science majors have these skills, often without knowing how important they are. It is probably due to these skills that they have been offered a wide variety of positions.Finally, although some social science majors may still find it more difficult than their technically trained classmates to land the first job, recent graduates report that they don’t regret their choice of study.65. By saying that “you may have had the last laugh” in the first paragraph, the author means that you may have _____________________________________.A. shared the jokes with computer majorsB. earned as much as computer majorsC. found jobs more easily than computer majorsD. stopped joking about computer majors66. Compared with graduates of other subjects, social science graduates _________.A. are ready to change when situations changeB. are better able to deal with difficultiesC. are equally good at computer skillsD. are likely to give others pressure67. The word “land” in t he last paragraph probably means ___________________.A. keep for some timeB. successfully getC. immediately startD. lose regretfully68. According to the text, what has made it easy for social science graduates to find jobs?A. Willingness to take low-paid jobs.B. Readiness to gain high-tech knowledge.C. Skills in experiencing themselves.D. Part-time work experience.(B)That cold January night, I was growing sick of my life in San Francisco. There I waswalking home at one in the morning after a tiring practice at the theatre. With opening night only a week ago, I was still learning my lines. I was having trouble dealing with my part-time job at the bank and my acting at night at the same time. As I walked, I thought seriously about giving up both acting and San Francisco. City life had become too much for me.As I walked down empty streets under tall buildings, I felt very small and cold. I began running, both to keep warm and to keep away from any possible robbers. Very few people were still out except a few sad-looking homeless people under blankets.About a block from my apartment, I heard a sound behind me. I turned quickly, half expecting to see someone with a knife or a gun. The street was empty. All I saw was a shining streetlight. Still, the noise had made me nervous, so I started to run faster. Not until I reached my apartment building and unlocked the door did I realize what the noise had been. It had been my wallet falling to the sidewalk.Suddenly I wasn’t cold or tired anymore. I ran out of the door and back to where I’d heard the noise. Although I searched the sidewalk anxiously for fifteen minutes, my wallet was nowhere to be found.Just as I was about to give up the search, I heard the garbage truck pull up to the sidewalk next to me. When a voice called from the inside, “Alisa Camacho?” I thought I was dreaming. How could this man know my name? The door opened, and out jumped a small red-haired man with an amused look in his eye. “Is this what you’re looking for?” he asked, holding up a small square shape.It was nearly 3 A.M. by the time I got into bed. I wouldn’t get much sleep that night, but I had gotten my wallet back. I also had gotten back some enjoyment of city life. I realized that the city couldn’t be a bad place as long as people were willing to help each other.69. How did the writer feel when she was walking home after work?A. Cold and sickB. Fortunate and helpfulC. Satisfied and cheerfulD. Disappointed and helpless70.

Following increasing calls for the return of artistic objects that were removed decades or centuries ago, some of the world’s leading museums have signed a declaration that they will not hand back the ancient artifacts to their countries of origin. They say people all over the world have only been able to fully appreciate ancient civilizations because these museums have provided access to these artistic objects. The ancient civilizations would not be so deeply admired today if these ancient artifacts were not so widely available to an international public in major museums throughout Europe and America. For example, Egyptian culture would not have become so well-known if the museums had not put Egyptian mummies on show.The British Museum has not signed the declaration, but says it fully supports it. Over the recent years, it has faced growing pressure to hand back the Elgin Marbles, sculptures taken from the Parthenon in Athens, Greece, in the 19th century. But the British Museum has said that the Museum is the best possible place for them. “They must remain here if the museum is to continue to achieve its aim, which is to show the world to the world,” said the director of the museum.73. What reason do the major museums provide for not handing back the ancient objects?A. Only in the leading museums can the objects be fully appreciated by the world.B. It is better for those objects to remain at a certain place than to be moved around.C. They need those well-known ancient objects to attract people from all over the world.D. Ancient civilizations can only be admired if they are removed from their home countries.74. Which of the following is NOT mentioned as one of the “countries of origin” inthe article?A.TurkeyB. BritainC. EgyptD. Greece75. What does “the world” mean in “show the world to the world”?A. The global village.B. The leading museums.C. The ancient civilizations.D. The international public.(D)Imagine that the genome(基因组) is a book. The book consists of 23 chapters with thousands of stories made up of paragraphs, words and letters on different levels. There are one billion words in the book, which makes it longer than 5,000 volumes the size of this book, or as long as 800 Bibles. If I read the genome out to you at the rate of one word per second for eight hours a day, it would take me a century. If I wrote out the human genome, one letter per millimeter, my text would be as long as the River Danube. This is an enormous document, a huge volume, a cook book of great length, and it all fits inside the extremely small nucleus of a tiny cell that fits easily upon the head of a pin.The idea of the genome as a book is not, strictly speaking, even a metaphor(比喻). It is true to a great extent. A book is a piece of digital information, written in one-directional form and defined by a code that translates a small alphabet of signs into a large dictionary of meanings through the order of their groupings. So is a genome. The only complication is that all English books read from left to right, while some parts of the genome read from left to right, and some from right to left, though never both at the same time.While English books are written in words of different lengths using twenty-six letters, genomes are written entirely in three-letter words, using only four letters. And instead of being written on flat pages, they are written on long chains of DNA molecules(分子). The genome is a very clever book, because in the right conditions it can both photocopy itself and read itself.76. How do human genomes read according to the passage?A. Only from left to right.B. Only from right to left.C. From both directions at the same time.D. From one direction at a time.77. We can learn from the passage that the human genome _____________________.A. is as long as the River DanubeB. can be easily placed on the head of a pinC. is coded with an alphabet of four lettersD. is smart enough to read and take photos of itself78. It can be concluded that the passage is mainly written for _________________.A. specialists in the fieldB. general readersC. natural scientistsD. readers with academic background79. The real purpose of the author’s comparison of the genome to a book is ________.A. to focus on the difference between the twoB. to lay emphasis on the similarities between the twoC. to simplify the concept of the human genomeD. to give an exact description of the human genomeSection CDirections: Read the following text and choose the most suitable heading from A-F for each paragraph. There is one extra heading which you do not need.80. ________________________________________________.Every living thing has what scientists call a biological clock that controls behavior. The biological clock tells plants when to form flowers and when the flowers should open. It tells insects when to leave the protective cocoon and fly away, and it tells animals and human beings when to eat, sleep and wake.81. ________________________________________________.Events outside the plant and animal affect the actions of some biological clocks. Scientists recently found, for example, that a tiny animal changes the color of its fur because of the number of hours of daylight. In the short days of winter, its fur becomes white. The fur becomes gray brown in color in the longer hours of daylight in summer.82. ________________________________________________.Inner signals control other biological clocks. German scientists found that some kind of internal clock seems to order birds to begin their long migration flights twice each year. Birds prevented from flying become restless when it is time for the trip, but they become calm again when the time of the flight has ended.83. ________________________________________________.Scientists say they are beginning to learn which parts of the brain contain biological clock. An American researcher, Martin Moorhead, said a small group of cells near the front of the brain seems to control the timing of some of our actions. These cells tell a person when to awaken, when to sleep and when to seek food. Scientists say there probably are other biological clock cells that control other body activities.84. ________________________________________________.Dr. Moorhead is studying how our biological clocks affect the way we do our work. For example, most of us have great difficulty if we often change to different work hours. It can take many days for a human body to accept the major change in work hours. Dr. Moorhead said industrial officials should have a better understanding of biological clocks and how they affect workers. He said such understanding could cut sickness and accidents at work and would help increase a factory’s production.第II卷(共45分)TranslationDirections: Translate the following sentences into English, using the words given in the brackets.从他的话来判断，我觉得他已经把你提出的建议考虑进去了。

However, our teacher was very persuasive. That Saturday, we found ourselves standing along the Orchard road.The heat was horrible. the mission was discouraging. we had been in the heat for four hours only to have our cans half-filled with street-sourced donations. No matter how sunny our smiles were, we failed to warm the hearts of most passers-by. We were crestfallen. We realized then that this was not just a task anymore but a burden many had refused to bear.Our faces brightened up when finally one of the passes-by smiled and reached into her pockets. “A potential donor. After all that begging” we thought. But to our disappointment, all he did was to show us the flag sticker as proof of his past donation to a lucky can holder. Disappointed , we turned away and walked towards the nearby food court. Another hour had passed and our consul was still nowhere near filled.We wanted to leave and return our cans in defeat. In fact, Karen, my equally disappointed partner, wanted to fill that cas with her own money, but gave up finding it hardly made any difference. Strangely, as we mourned our fate and complained at the miserliness of our fellow citizens, coins started clicking into our cans! Obviously, there was a heavy traffic of passers-by then heading to and from the food court since it was about lunch time. Our smiles returned and all sense of hopelessness and despair were replaced with pure joy and relief. Our cans were filling up and our efforts were not useless. Our confidence grew and we become braver. Karen and I even came near the potential donors with faith-we actually believed in our cause and the donors could sense it. In return, the donations came in more quickly and the cans clinked even more loudly We were glad we actually stayed till our cans were filled. This task which we felt was a burden at first proved to be a meaningful activity. With the right attitude, correct location, patience and true sincerity to help the needy, we understood that Flag Day was truly for a very unportant cause.56.

The Secret Dairy Of Adrian MoleB. On Golden PondC. Only A Night At The VarietiesD. Groping For World(C)Security guard, truck driver, salesperson---year after year, these jobs appear on lists of the unhappiest careers. Although many factors can make a job dismal unusual hours, low pay, no chance for advancement--- these three gigs stand out for another reason: a lack of small talk.Psychologists have long said that connecting with others is central to well-being, but just how much conversation we require is under investigation. In one study, researchers eavesdropped on undergraduates for four days, then cataloged each overheard conversation as either small talk (What do you have there? Popcorn?(Yummy!) or serious (So did they get divorced soon after?).They found that the second type correlated with happiness---the happiest students had roughly twice as many substantive talks as the unhappiest ones. Small talk, meanwhile, made up only 10 percent of their conversation, versus almost 30 percent of conversation among the least content students.However, don't just consider chat worthless yet. Scientists believe that small talk (which linguists describe as a form of phatic communication) could promote bonding. Chatting withstrangers could brighten your morning. In a series of experiments, psychologists gave Chicago commuters varying directions about whether to talk with fellow train passengers something they typically avoided. Those told to chat with others reported a more pleasant journey than those told to enjoy your solitude or to do whatever they normally would. None of the chatters reported being rebuffed. And the results held for introverts and extroverts alike which makes sense, since acting extroverted has a positive effect on introverts.Small talk can also help us feel connected to our surroundings. People who smiled at, made eye contact with, and briefly spoke with their Starbucks baristas reported a greater sense of belonging than those who rushed through the transaction. Similarly, one not yet published paper found that when volunteers broke the silence of the Tate Modern to chat with gallery goers, the visitors felt happier and more connected to the exhibit than those who were not approached.Of course, some of us are better than others at turning small talk into something bigger. In one study, people who were rated less curious by researchers had trouble getting a conversation rolling on their own, and had greater luck building closeness with others when they were supplied with questions that encouraged personal disclosure (When did you last cry in front of someone?). But people who were deemed curious needed no help transforming conversations about mundane things like favorite holidays into intimate exchanges. A curious mind-set, the authors concluded, can lead to positive social interactions.So go ahead, pry. Chitchat needn’t be idle. And nosiness isn’t all bad.63. The author attributes the unhappiness felt by security guards, truck drivers and salespeople to______.A. unusual hours and low payB. a lack of small talkC. no chance for advancementD. an absence of serious conversation64. What was the conclusion of the study mentioned in the second paragraph?A. Connecting with others is central to our well-beingB. We require 30 minutes of conversation every day to be happyC. serious conversation is linked to happinessD. small talk cannot help make us feel happy65. The author used the Tate Modem example to demonstrate that____A. connecting with others is key to our happinessB. unserious conversation could promote bondingC. small talk can help us feel connected to our surroundingsD. smiling can help people gain a great sense of belonging66. Which of the following statement is true?A. Chicago commuters generally avoid talking with fellow train passengers.B. Small talk, is used excessively or incorrectly, can make people feel depressed.C. The benefit of small talk is more obvious in introverts than in extroverts.D. Most introverts fund it hard to turn small talk into something bigger.Section CDirections: Complete the following passage by using the sentences listed below. Each sentence can only be used once. Note that there are two sentences more than you need.In the 19 century, millions of European went to the USA because they wanted to find a better life. Many of them couldn't find work in cities like New York._67_ The people, called settlers, travelled west through the mountains on the Oregon Trail.Some of these people hoped to find gold in California. The journey sometimes took more than one year. There are a lot of films, called Westerns, about the settlers on the trail. In most of the film, we see the native Americans(American Indians) attacking the settlers, and the "Indians" killing many white people._68_ In fact, most of them were very helpful to the settlers._69_ many of them walked 3200 kilometers, the whole length of the trail. They had wagons, but the wagons were often too full, so people could not travel in them. Many parents also had to carry their small children. The people were very poor and many did not even have shoes—they walked the whole trail bare foot, in extremely cold temperature.More than 50,000 people, including many women and children, died on the trail. A lot of people died from illnesses like cholera, because the drinking water wasn’t clean._70_Many people died under the wheels of wagons, for example, and from accidental gunshots.A. Many of them lost their home.B. There were also a lot of accidents.C. They hoped they could make more money.D. So they left and went to find farmlands in the west.AB. It is true that the settlers ‘journey was extremely difficultAC. But the truth is that the Native Americans were not the biggest problem for the settlers.Section DDirections: read the following passage carefully. Summarize the main idea in no more than 60 words.Are you sometimes a little tired and sleepy in the early afternoon? Many people feel this way after lunch. They may think that eating lunch is the cause of the sleepiness. Or, in summer, they may think it is the heat. However, the real reason lies inside their bodies. At that time-about eight hours after you wake up-your body temperature goes down. This is what makes you slow down and feel sleepy. Scientists have tested sleep habits in experiments where there was no night or day. The people in these experiments almost always followed a similar sleeping pattern. They slept for one long period and then for one short period about eight hours later.In many parts of the world, people take naps (小睡) in the middle of the day. This is especially true in warmer climates (气候), where the heat makes work difficult in the early afternoon. Researchers are now saying that naps are good for everyone in any climate. A daily nap gives one a more rested body and mind and therefore is good for health in general. In countries where naps are traditional (传统的), people often suffer less from problem such as heart disease.Many working people, unfortunately, have no time to take naps. Though doctors may advise taking naps, employers do not allow it! If you do have the chance, however, here are a few tips about making the most of your nap. Remember that the best time to take a nap is about eight hours after you get up. A short sleep too late in the day may only make you feel more tired and sleepy afterward. This can also happen if you sleep for too long. If you do not have enough time, try a short nap-eventen minutes of sleep can be helpful.第Ⅱ卷（共30分）Ⅰ. Translation (每题3分，共15分)好几周之后，他才适应一个人在国外生活。

A small child will pick up a foreign language easier and faster than a teenager or an adult will.“What is so exciting about this research is that the ___45____ to parents and other adults who are nurturingyoung children’s development is how much, at such a young age, they are processing and problem solving and figu ring out,” Lerner said.What the Hopkins psychologists discovered about the babies is no different from the way adult learn, Stahl and Lisa wrote in their paper. Scientists, for instance, think more intently, run more ___46____ and try to develop new theories when running across an unusual or expected finding.One way researchers studied the children was by using a ball and a wall. They rolled the ball down a ramp and toward the wall. In one ___47____, the ball hit the wall, as a baby would ___48____ expect. In the other, the ball passed through a hidden door in the wall, sparking the babies’ inquisitiveness.The response by the infants was not reflexive or automatic, Stahl said, but a contemplative attempt to figure out what happened.The findings show that when ___49____ with the unexpected, babies learn about the object better, explore the object more and come up with their own hypothesis for why the object ___50____ in a certain way.ClozeWith the growth of transnational education models, including franchise programmes, online degrees, branch campuses and now MOOCs, these ___51___ groups of international students may be further ___52___ by two primary subgroups: ‘global’ and ‘glocal’.‘Global’ students comprise Highfliers and Strugglers, who will not ___53___ the value of studying abroad, due to their strong desire for achievement or emigration, respectively.Thus, ___54___ developed-country destinations like the United States, the United Kingdom and Australia will continue to attract this segment. Alternative pathways to foreign education through transnational education will not be appealing to ‘global’ students.In contrast, ‘glocal’ students comprise Explorers and Strivers, who have the ___55___ to study abroad in traditional destinations like the US, the UK or Australia, but cannot due to their low academic or poor financial resources, ___56___.These students are open to other forms of engaging with transnational education. ‘Glocal’ students are different from ‘global’ ones, as they would like to earn the social prestige and career ___57___ offered by foreign education without having to go very far from home.Both ‘glocal’ and ‘global’ segments will grow in the medium term, but the ‘glocal’ one is expected to grow at a faster pace due to an insatiable ___58___ for foreign education, an expanding middle-class in ___59___, and technological innovation.On the other hand, the ‘global’ segment will grow at a slower pace due to a shift in institutional priority to ___60___ international students at the undergraduate level but the increasing cost and competition for recruiting them.Transnational educational models also face several growth problems, including qualitative challenges ranging from credentials issues with MOOCs to regulatory and funding complexity with ___61___, which may negatively influence the expectations of ‘glocal’ students and therefore growth.Of course, not all international students can be ‘boxed’ into this framework. ___62___, the passage is intended to provide a broad framework for institutions to ___63___ the shift that is occurring in the competitive landscape and to help them make the best strategic choices.___64___, the dynamics of international student mobility are changing, with the growth of transnational education resulting in new student segments and behaviours. Institutions, accordingly, need to adapt and align their internationalisation strategies to deliver optimal ___65___ by better understanding their changing students.51.

And among a large group of children in the United States, the risk of mental health problems was nearly four times greater for victims of bullying than for victims of child abuse.The findings, published in the journal Lancet Psychiatry, underscore the need to take bullying more seriously as a public health problem.Previous studies have shown that children who are abused by adults or victimized by their peers grow up to suffer higher rates of depression, anxiety and suicidal ideation, among other problems. Both are bad, but the researchers wanted to know which was worse.As they assessed the risks of mental health problems, the researchers controlled for gender, family instability or adversity, socioeconomic status and other factors that might influence the link between maltreatment and mental health.A history of child abuse was associated with a greater risk of mental health problems as an adult for the American children, but not for their English counterparts. However, children in both countries were more likely to have mental health problems if they had been bullied.Overall, the effects of bullying were worse. For instance, the English children who were bullied were 70% more likely to experience depression or practice some form of self-harm than were children who suffered child abuse. The American children were nearly five times more likely to be diagnosed with anxiety if they were bullied than if they were abused.66. The word “underscore” (Para. 3) in the passage means ___________________ .A. clarifyB. emphasizeC. satisfyD. forward67. The “other factors” the researchers controlled for assessing the risks of mental health problems might include which of the following?A. Divorce.B. Boy or Girl.C. History of family diseases.D. Annual family income.68. According to the study, an ________________ kid who ______________________ in his childhood is most likely to suffer mental health problems in his adulthood?A. American; was abusedB. English; was bulliedC. American; was bulliedD. English; was abused(B)Sending a thank-you letter is as important as interview preparation. But they’re tough to write, so people either tell themselves that not sending one doesn’t matter, or they procrastinate until it’s too late and almost pointless anyway.Why it’s importantA thank-y ou letter is an additional sales piece. You’re selling a product: you. So beyond the reason of etiquette, the letter sells you as a polite person who recognizes that the interviewer gave you something valuable --- time and consideration.A fundamental rule of sales is to keep the product in front of the buyer and reinforce its benefits. So, the letter gives you ample space to comment on what you liked about the company, why your skills are of benefit to them and how much you’re interested.Thank-you letters are one of the reasons why it’s important to take notes during an interview. Not only does it show good attention to detail, it saves you from having to scrunch up your face trying to remember some of the information you learned about the company and position during the interview.Let’s look at how to create one of these so that it becomes a less-odious task.First paragraphOpen with the initial thank-you and include how you enjoyed the meeting. Say why. Maybe the people you met were exceptional. Perhaps their company philosophy was exactly what you had hoped for. Pick something out, and put it down. Just make it real.Second paragraphWhat took place during your interview? Pull out a piece of information that pleased you, say what it was and tell them w hy. Discuss a particular aspect of the job you find appealing and reiterate why you’d be successful at it, how long you’ve been performing it or how similar it is to something you’ve done in the past.Third paragraphWind it up. Reiterate your interest. B e enthusiastic! There’s nothing wrong with coming right out and saying, “I’d love to work for X company!”69. According to the passage, taking notes during an interview is important EXCEPT _______________.A. it brings back details in the interview to youB. it makes you love the companyC. it helps you sell your skillsD. it assists you in completing the thank-you letter70. As suggested above, which of the following sentence is most likely to appear in the 2nd paragraph in a thank-you letter?A. I’ve al ways been sharing the notion with yours: Customers First.B. It’s my personal honor to have met one of my senior alumni in my dream company.C. In my school, I had already worked out a mobile app aimed at teenagers that later was bought by one of your rivals.D. The challenge of a marketing position is what I am always interested in and this time, particularly, in the field of male cosmetics.71. What we can infer from the passage?A. A thank-you letter should be short and brief.B. A thank-you letter is a repetition of your resume.C. A thank-you letter usually goes to the man you are likely to work for.D. A thank-you letter should be written in time.72. This passage is probably aimed at ____________ .A. personnel department officialsB. newly-graduated studentsC. professors in medicineD. transnational head-hunters(C)Scattered around the globe are more than one hundred regions of volcanic activity known as hot spots (hot spot: a place in the upper mantle (地幔) of the earth at which hot magma from the lower mantle upwells to melt through the crust usually in the interior of a tectonic (地壳构造的) plate to form a volcanic feature; also: a place in the crust overlying a hot spot). Unlike most volcanoes, hot spots are rarely found along the boundaries of the continental and oceanic plates that comprise the Earth’s crust; most hot spots lie deep in the interior of plates and are anchored deep in the layers of the Earth’s surface. Hot spots are also distinguished from other volcanoes by their lavas, which contain greater amounts of alkali metals than do those from volcanoes at plate margins.In some cases, plates moving past hot spots have left trails of extinct volcanoes in much the same way that wind passing over a chimney carries off puffs of smoke. It appears that the Hawaiian Islands were created in such a manner by a single source of lava, welling up from a hot spot, over which the Pacific Ocean plate passed on a course roughly from the east toward the northwest, carrying off a line of volcanoes of increasing age. Two other Pacific island chains—the Austral Ridge and the Tuamotu Ridge—parallel the configuration (构造) of the Hawaiian chain; they are also aligned from the east toward the northwest, with the most recent volcanic activity near their eastern terminuses.That the Pacific plate and the other plates are moving is now beyond dispute; the relative motion of the plates has been reconstructed in detail. However, the relative motion of the plates with respect to the Earth’s interior cannot be determined easily. Hot spots provide the measuring instruments for resolving the question of whether two continental plates are moving in opposite directions or whether one is stationary and the other is drifting away from it. The most compelling evidence that a continental plate is stationary is that, at some hot spots, lavas of several ages are superposed instead of being spread out in chronological sequence. Of course, reconstruction of plate motion from the tracks of hot-spot volcanoes assumes that hot spots are immobile, or nearly so. Several studies support such an assumption, including one that has shownthat prominent hot spots throughout the world seem not to have moved during the past ten million years. Beyond acting as frames of reference, hot spots apparently influence the geophysical processes that propel the plates across the globe. When a continental plate comes to rest over a hot spot, material welling up from deeper layers forms a broad dome that, as it grows, develops deep fissures (裂沟). In some instances, the continental plate may rupture (破裂) entirely along some of the fissures so that the hot spot initiates the formation of a new ocean. Thus, just as earlier theories have explained the mobility of the continental plates, so hot-spot activity may suggest a theory to explain their instability.73. According to the passage, hot spots differ from most volcanoes in that hot spots _______________________ .A. can only be found near islandsB. are active whereas all other volcanoes are extinctC. are situa ted closer to the earth’s surfaceD. have greater amounts of alkali metals in their lavas74. It can be inferred from the passage that evidence for the apparent course of the Pacific plate has been provided by the ______________________ .A. dimensions of ocean hot spotsB. concurrent movement of two hot spotsC. pattern of fissures in the ocean floorD. configurations of several mid-ocean island chains75. It can be inferred from the passage that the spreading out of lavas of different ages at hot spots indicates that a ______________________ .A. hot spot is activeB. continental plate has movedC. continental rupture is imminentD. volcano contains large concentrations of alkali metals76. The passage suggests which of the following about the Hawaiian Islands, the Austral Ridge, and the Tuamotu Ridge?A. The three chains of islands are moving eastward.B. The three island chains are a result of the same plate movement.C. The Hawaiian Islands are receding from the other two island chains at a relatively rapid rate.D. The Austral Ridge and the Tuamotu Ridge chains have moved closer together whereas the Hawaiian Islands have remained stationary.77. The primary purpose of the passage is to ___________________________ .A. describe the way in which hot spots influence the extinction of volcanoesB. describe and explain the formation of the oceans and continentsC. describe hot spots and explain how they appear to influence and record the motion of platesD. describe the formation and orientation of island chains in the Pacific Ocean(D)Kunal Bahl’s American dream was coming together in late 2007. He had Ivy League degrees in business and engineering, a debut (初始的) job at Microsoft and a roadmap to the career he’d always wanted in Silicon Valley. Then his application for a U.S. visa was rejected, and he was kicked out of the country. Luck for him.Back in India, he got over the shock and founded a company in New Delhi with a childhood friend. Today is one of the most highly valued startups in the world’s third-largest economy, valued at about $5 billion. The 31-year-old is one of the thousands of a generation of engineers and entrepreneurs (企业家) who quit America for home --- some by choice, some because of U.S. immigration barriers --- to find a technology industry with more greenfield (为开发地区的) opportunities than Silicon Valley. Many Indians aren’t leaving at all or are going to the U.S. for degrees from Harvard and Stanford with no plans to stay after graduation. The two governments don’t keep tech-sector reverse-migration data. But Sonali Jain, a professor at the University of North Carolina, who studies the phenomenon, calls this “a very upbeat moment in time for India” that encourages homecomings.India’s booming startup culture probably wouldn’t feel any effects of the H1-B floodgates suddenly opened. The super-growth potential these days is east, not west. While only about 19% of Indians are connected to the Internet, their numbers are mushrooming. Economic output is expanding at an annual rate of more than 7%, and by some projections the country’s population will reach 1.6 billion to surpass China’s by 2050. India’s hard to resist.Google engineering executives Peeyush and Punit recently left the company and California for home to join Flipkart, India’s largest e-commerce company and Snapdeal’s main domestic rival.The trend is a dramatic shift from the 1980s and 1990s, when a graduate education and employment in the U.S. were the brass rings for engineers like Satya, Microsoft’s CEO. Now for any one interested in programming or e-commerce or mobile-device apps, India “is like the late 1990s in the U.S., ” says Bahl, who regularly fields inquiries from Indian graduates of his alma mater (母校), eager for jobs in India. “It’s only recently that we are seeing the best people return,” he says. “Everything is new. There is a lot of headroom and low-hanging fruit.”Returnees may love the excitement of being in the mix of a young Internet economy, but that doesn’t mean they don’t miss America. India’s notor ious bureaucracy and stressed-out infrastructure can take a toll. Anand, who lived in the L.A. suburbs of Burbank while working in the U.S., says driving on the chaotic streets here makes him fondly recall “the orderly traffic”.But increasingly, Indian en gineers are quite happy with their own tech boom. “It’s a good thing that people are going back and trying to become an entrepreneur and chasing opportunities and creating employment,” said Mathru, CEO of Freshdesk.(Note: Answer the questions or the statements with NO MORE THAN TEN WORDS.)78. Many Indian talents went back to India from American because of ___________________ and _______________ .79. Why the India’s startup culture will continue booming regardless of the H-1B effect?80. What is Snapdea ’s business about?81. Situations in India such as __________________ and ____________________ are making some of returnees frustrated.Translation82. 他居然能在这么重要的考试中睡着，真是太奇怪了！（it从句）83. 这些年轻学生所提出的建设性意见给所有在场的人留下了深刻的印象。

The Indians were invited to send boys to William and Mary College. In a letter the next day he refused the offer as follows:We know that you have a high opinion of the kind of learning taught in your colleges, and that the costs of living of our young men, while with you, would be very expensive to you. We are convinced that you mean to do us good by your proposal; and we thank you heartily. But you must know that different nations have different ways of looking at things, and you will therefore not be offended if your ideas of this kind of education happen not t be the same as yours. We have had some experience of it. Several of our young people were formerly brought up at the colleges of the northern provinces: they were taught all your sciences; but, when they came back to us, they were bad runners, ignorant of every means of living in the woods… they were totally good for nothing.We are, however, not the less obliged by your kind offer, though we refuse to accept it; and, to show our grateful sense of it, if the gentlemen of Virginia will send up a dozen of their sons, we will take care of their education, teach them in all we know, and make men of them.69.

The roof catches snow and rainwater will be treated for drinking water; the toilet, which will use only a cup of water per flush, will produce fertilizer for the green house garden situated on the home’s roof. The wall will be built of blocked made from concrete mixed with cellulose fibers-light and expensive, yet a very good insulator(隔热材料). Liefhebbers has named his house the Codicile, “The name reflects the philosophy that if we use less resources, we’ll have more to pass on to future generations.” he says.Toronto’s laws have so far prevented the house from going up, but Liefhebber i s hopeful that his new idea will have wide appeal and plans to build one later this year.73.

Then another lad came out of the van. He seemed to be in a worse state—parts of his trousers were hanging below his knee.”“I came downstairs to get a fir e extinguisher, but by the time I got outside someone from the bank was in the van with an extinguisher.”Mr. Webster, who lives at 71, Trinity Street, Norwich, said both victims were shocked. One was taken into the market’s office to await an ambulance. “The second man insisted on going back into the van to see if everything was all right, and five minutes later he came out with a drawer that was blazing, ”he added.The explosion was also heard inside the bank. Staff provided a fire extinguisher and telephoned for an ambulance.Although a plastic window was blown out, damage inside the vehicle was mainly superficial.The two men have spent the last six months touring the continent and had traveled to Norwich from Snettleton.

There is one extra heading which you do not need. F=A+EBefore you argue with your boss, check with the boss’s secreta ry to determine his mood. If he eats nails for breakfast, it is not a good idea to ask him for something. Even without the boss’s secretary, ther e are keys to timing; don’t approach the boss when he’s on deadline; don’t go in right before lunch, when he is apt to be distracted and rushed; don’t go in just before or after he has taken a vacation.82. _____________________If you are mad, that will only make your boss mad. Calm down first. And don’t let a particular concern open the floodgates for all your accumulated frustration. The boss will feel that you think negatively about the company and it is hopeless trying to change your mind. Then, maybe he will dismiss you.83. ____________________Terrible disputes can result when neither the employer nor the employee knows what is the problem the other wants to discuss. Sometimes the fight will go away when the issues are made clear. The employee has to get his point across clearly in order to make the boss understand it. 84. ____________________Your boss ha s enough on his mind without your adding more. If you can’t put forward an immediate solution, at least suggest how to approach the problem. People who frequently present problem without solutions to their bosses soon find they ca n’t get past the secretary.85. _____________________To deal effectively with a boss, it’s important to consider his goals and pressures. If you can put yourself in the position of being a partner to the boss, then he will be naturally more inclined to work with you to achieve your goals.IV.

For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. Choose the one that fits according to the information given in the passage you have just read.(A)When I saw the notice “Women film extras wanted” in a local newspaper, I jumped at the chance. Since childhood, I had dreamt of being a film star.The casting interview went well, and two days later I was told that I had been chosen. I was to lose some of my enthusiasm for the idea, however. Extras are often left in the dark for some time as to which role they will play. Finally the nature of my role was revealed: I was asked to play a mental hospital patient.Despite my disappointment, I agreed to participate. Then, barely a week later, the day of filming dawned. All 13 of us extras, mainly housewives, were driven to an old hospital. The coffee and tea they served us looked and tasted like cement. Then we were rushed off to make-up. My hair was pinned back and make-up was applied that gave me a pale appearance. Then we just sat in a minibus for a few hours, as the cameras rolled elsewhere.After the second hour had passed I was becoming bored. I bet stars are never treated like this, I thought. I had expected to be so busy that I hadn’t come prepared for a long wait. Many of the others had brought a book or knitting.Three hours had now passed. Then at last we were called to do our scenes. When the director came in, we were instructed where to stand and what to do. Along with a few others, I was told to sit at a table and weave baskets. This was not an easy task. The cane(藤条)we had to use was very long. On several occasions my basket fell apart in front of my very eyes. On others I only succeeded in hitting a cameraman in the eye.Life for the other extras was far from easy. Jean, who was barefoot，had to circle the floor. Poor Alice was asked to pretend to bang her head against the wall. Meanwhile, Veronica swept the floor.Thankfully, after just a few attempts, the scenes were done. And so my first taste of this “glorious” career was over. Although I found the experience quite interesting. My first screen role will almost certainly be my last.65. The word “extras” used in this story means people who__________.A. play unimportant parts in a filmB. have little experience of actingC. pretend to be film starsD. need a part-time job66. According to the story, which of the following statements is true about the author?A. She understood clearly that most film stars used to be extras.B. She didn’t refuse the role assigned to her although she didn’t like it.C. Unlike other women who were reading or knitting，she was busy with her scene.D. The only thing she did well was to use the cane as a weapon.67. The best title for this story could be__________.A. In FashionB. On CameraC. A Fancy DreamD. A Great Career(B)As public playgrounds grow increasingly worn and shabby, the for-profit centers offer clean, safe, supervised activity as well as a variety of challenging exercises to develop youngsters’ physical fitness, usually for a fee of around $5 an hour. “Playgrounds are dirty, not supervised,”says Dick Guggenheimer, owner of the two-month-old Discovery Zone in Yonkers, N.Y., part of a Kansas City-based chain. “We’re indoors; we’re padded(铺上软垫); parents can feel their child is safe.”Discovery Zone has sold 120 outlets in the past 14 months, boasting sandboxes full of brightly colored plastic balls, mazes(迷宫), obstacle courses, slides and mountains to climb. Now McDonalds is getting into the act. The burger giant is test-marketing a new playground, Leaps&Bounds, in Naperville, Ill. Phys Kids of Wichita has opened one center and has plans to expand.American parents are rightly worried about their kids leisure life. There are 36 million children in the U.S. aged 2 to 11 who watch an average of 24 hours of TV a week and devote less and less energy to active recreation. Nationwide decrease in education budgets are making the problem worse, as gym classes and after-hours sports time get squeezed. Says Discovery Zone president Jack Gunion: “we have raised a couple of pure cou ch potatoes.”In an attempt to attract more people , the new facilities cater to the concerns of two-earner families, staying open in the evenings, long after traditional public playground have grown dark and unusable. At Naperville’s Leaps&Bounds, families can play together for $4.95 per child, parents free. Fresh-faced assistants, dressed in colorful sport pants and shirts, guide youngsters to appropriate play areas for differing age group.These new playground are not meant to be day-care facilities; parents are expected to stay and play with their kids rather than drop them off. But several also provide high-tech baby-sitting services. At some of the Discovery Zones, parents can register their children in special supervised programs, then leave them and slip away for a couple of hours to enjoy a movie or dinner.The most fun of all, though, is getting to do what parents used to do in the days before two-career families and two-hour commutes: play with their kid. That, at least, is old-fashioned, even at per-hour rates.68. What is this article mainly talking about?A. Children can play in the public playground without parent s’ care.B. The fast development of Discovery Zone.C. A new type of playground for kids.D. The decay of outdoor playground.69. According to the article, which of the following is true to the new playground?A. The cost is high for a family.B. It’s a place where kids can watch TV while eating potatoes.C. It doesn’t allow parents to leave their kids.D. It’s a place where parents can play together with their kids.70. What does the writer mean by saying “old-fashioned”?A. The so-called new playground is outdated.B. the new playground offers a fashion which is popular in the past.C. The new playground is also enjoyed by old people.D. The new playground is actually enjoyed by parents71. What is the writer’s attitude toward the new playground?A. Agreeable.B. Indifferent.C. Objective.D. Neutral.(C)Engineering students are supposed to be examples of practicality and rationality, but when it comes to my college education I am an idealist and a fool. In high school I wanted to be an electrical engineer and, of course, any sensible student with my aims would have chosen a college with a large engineering department, famous reputation and lots of good labs and research equipment. But that’s not what I did.I chose to study engineering at a small liberal-arts（文科）university that doesn’t even offer a major in electrical engineering. Obviously, this was not a practical choice; I came here for more noble reasons. I wanted a broad education that would provide me with flexibility and a value system to guide me in my career. I wanted to open my eyes and expand my vision by interacting with people who weren’t studying science or engineering. My parents, teachers and other adults praised me for such a sensible choice. They told me I was wise and mature beyond my 18 years, and I believed them.I headed off to college and I was sure I was going to have an advantage over those students who went to big engineering “factories” where they didn’t care if you had values or were flexible. I was going to be a complete engineer: technical genius and sensitive humanist（人文学者）all in one.Now I’m not so sure. Somewhere along the way my noble ideals crashed into reality, as all noble ideals eventually do. After three years of struggling to balance math, physics and engineering courses with liberal-arts courses, I have learned there are reasons why few engineering students try to reconcile（协调）engineering with liberal-arts courses in college.The reality that has blocked my path to become the typical successful student is that engineering and the liberal arts simply don’t’mix as easily as I assumed in high school. Individually they shape a person in very different ways; together they threaten to confuse. The struggle to reconcile the two fields of study is difficult.72. The author chose to study engineering at a small liberal-arts university because he _______.A. wanted to be an example of practicality and rationalityB. intended to be a combination of engineer and humanistC. wanted to coordinate engineering with liberal-arts courses in collegeD. intended to be a sensible student with noble ideals.73. In the eyes of the author, a successful engineering student is expected _______A. to have an excellent academic recordB. to be wise and matureC. to be imaginative with a value system to guide himD. to be a technical genius with a wide vision74. The author’s experience shows that he was _______.A. creativeB. ambitiousC. unrealisticD. irrational75. The word “they” in “…together they threaten to confuse.” (Line 3, Para.5) refers to _______A. engineering and the liberal arts.B. reality and noble idealsC. flexibility and a value systemD. practicality and rationality(D)Sport is not only physically challenging, but it can also be mentally challenging. Criticism from coaches, parents, and other teammates, as well as pressure to win can create an excessive amount of anxiety or stress for young athletes（运动员）. Stress can be physical, emotional, or psychological, and research has indicated that it can lead to burnout. Burnout has been described as dropping or quitting of an activity that was at one time enjoyable.The early years of development are critical years for learning about oneself. The sport setting is one where valuable experiences can take place. Young athletes can, for example, learn how to cooperate with others, make friends, and gain other social skills that will be used throughout their lives. Coaches and parents should be aware, at all times, that their feedback to youngsters can greatly affect their children. Youngsters may take their parents’and coaches’ criticisms to heart and find a flaw（缺陷）in themselves.Coaches and parents should also be cautious that youth sport participation does not become work for children. The outcome of the game should not be more important than the process of learning the sport and other life lessons. In today’s youth sport setting, young athletes may be worrying more about who will win instead of enjoying themselves and the sport. Following a game, many parents and coaches focus on the outcome and find fault with youngsters’performances. Positive reinforcement should be provided regardless of the outcome. Research indicates that positive reinforcement motivates and has a greater effect on learning than criticism. Again, criticism can create high levels of stress, which can lead to burnout.76. An effective way to prevent the burnout of young athletes is __________________.A. to make sports less competitiveB. to make sports more challengingC. to reduce their mental stressD. to increase their sense of success77. According to the passage sport is positive for young people in that _____________.A. it can help them learn more about societyB. it teaches them how to set realistic goals for themselvesC. it enables them to find flaws in themselvesD. it can provide them with valuable experiences78. Many coaches and parents are in the habit of criticizing young athletes ________.A. without realizing criticism may destroy their self confidenceB. in order to make them remember life’s lessonsC. believing that criticism is beneficial for their early developmentD. so as to put more pressure on them79. The author’s purpose in writing the passage is _________________.A. to persuade young children not to worry about criticismB. to stress the importance of positive reinforcement to childrenC. to discuss the skill of combining criticism with encouragementD. to teach young athletes how to avoid burnoutSection C (5)Direction: Read the following text and choose the most suitable heading from A—F for each paragraph. There is one extra heading which you do not need80.Testing of complex software project itself is a complex project in software quality assurance. It employs software test methodology, risk management, and well-structured testing procedures. A thorough test plan is essential to the success of software testing. A test plan includes test cases, necessary, software testing tools, hardware, special instructions for the test and contingent plan in the case of failures.81.Test environment preparation is progressed parallel to the development of test cases. Support software, hardware, simulators, models, and etc. are installed. Initialization of environment and software to be tested (such as setting flags, breakpoints, pointers, data, or control parameters) are performed.82.Various types of testing are conducted to execute the test cases. Test data are recorded for later analysis. Unit test is used to confirm that the code matches the specification. Component testing is used to confirm that the defined functions perform as required by the business requirements. Integration testing ensures that the new application will work successfully without adversely impacting on other operational systems. System testing confirms that performance, stress and volume are at acceptable levels. Operational testing explores the manageability of the system. Usability or user acceptance testing examines whether the system is user friendly. 83.Test data may clearly indicate the success or failure of software functionality. Analysis of system performance usually involves data manipulation and statistic. The analysts must check the arrangements and magnitudes of the data, analyze the relationships of data etc. They must also choose suitable statistic software to conduct the analysis.84.Software testing, like software development, is an iterative process. Software testing project rarely ends up with approving or rejecting the system in a few iterations. Testing results usually point the areas for bug-fixing and enhancements. A test project is complete when a software system is eventually approved or rejected.第II卷( 共45分)I. Translation (20)1. 承蒙邀请到开幕式上演讲是我的一大荣幸。
