Men rule the world, but their mothers and wives rule them .Most American women wish to make their husbands and sons successful, but some of them want more for themselves. They want good jobs. When they work they want to be better paid. They want to be as successful as men.The American women’s liberation movement was started by women who didn’t w ant to stand behind successful men. They wanted to stand beside men, with the same chance for success. They refused to work side by side with men who do the same work for a higher pay.A liberated woman must be proud of being a woman and have confidence in herself. If somebody says to her, “You have come a long way, baby.”she will smile and answer, “Not nearly as far as I’m going to go, baby!”This movement is quite new, and many American women don’t agree yet. But it has already made some important chang es in women’s lives---in men’s lives, too.1.“Behind every successful man there is a woman” (Para. 1,L.2) means_______.A.men are always successful but not womenB.women are not willing to stand in front of menC.women do play an important part in men’s lives and workD.women can be as successful as men2.Which of the following is NOT true?A.Some American women want to work side by side with men and get the same pay for thesame work.B.Most American women want to be more successful than men.C.Not every American woman wants to get a job.D.The American women’s liberation movement did make some changes in women’slives.3.According to the passage, many American women today are _______.A.unwilling to work side by side with menB.working at easier jobs than menC.still going a long way to workD.willing to be less important than men as they used to4.“Not nearly as far as I’m going to go” (Para. 5, L.3) means_______.A.I’m still going to work farther away from homeB.I’m not going to work far away from homeC.I’m not satisfied with what I’ve doneD.What I have done is not far from success5.The American women’s liberation movement _______.A.still has a long way to goB.is a failureC.was started by many successful womenD.is a new thing not accepted by the writerPassage TwoThe home computer industry has been growing rapidly in the United States for the last ten years. Computers used to be large, expensive machines that were very difficult to use. But scientists and technicians have been making them smaller and cheaper while at the same time they have been made easier to use. As a result, their popularity has been increasing as more people have been buying computers for their homes and businesses. Computers have been designed to store information and compute problems that are difficult for human beings to work out.. Some have voices that speak with the operator. Stores use computers to keep records of their inventories(库存货物) and to send bills to their customers. Offices use computers to copy letters, record business and keep in touch with other offices. People have been using computers in their homes to keep track of the money they spend.One important new use for computers is for entertainment. Many new games have been designed to be played on the computers. People of all ages have been playing these games. People also have been buying home computers to play computer games, watch movies and listen to concerts at home. They have become very popular indeed.puters used to ______.A. work rapidly B be large and expensive C be easy to use D be used for fun7. In recent years, computers are being made ______.A larger and more expensiveB smaller and cheaperC more difficult to useD to work more slowly8. Home computers can be used for ______.A writing lettersB playing gamesC doing businessD all of the above9. Salesmen use computers mainly to _______.A check the list of goods kept in the store houseB play games for pleasureC talk with their friends in other countriesD write letters to their business partners10. The best title for the passage would be ______.A New Uses for ComputersB The Popularity of Home ComputersC The Home Computer IndustryD Computers at HomePassage ThreeToday anyone will accept money in exchange for goods and services. But people used to use to buy food, furniture, books, bicycles and hundreds of others they need or want. When they work, they usually get paid in money.Most of the money today is made of metal or paper. But people used to use all kinds of things as money. One of the first kinds of money was shells. Shells were not the only things used as money. In China, cloth and knives were used. In the Philippine Islands, rice was used as money. In parts of Africa, cattle were one of the earliest kinds of money. Other animals were used as money, too.The first metal coins were made in China. They were round and had a square hole in the center. People strung them together and carried them from place to place.Different countries have used different metals and designs for their money. The first coins in England were made of tin. Sweden and Russia used copper to make their money. Later, other countries began to make coins of gold and silver.But even gold and silver were inconvenient if you had to buy something expensive. Again the Chinese thought of a way to improve money. They began to use paper money. The first paper money looked more like a note from one person to another than paper money used today.Money has had an interesting history from the days of shell money until today.11. Which of the following can be cited as an example of the use of money in exchange for services?A. To sell a bicycle for $20B. To get some money for old books at a garage sale.C. To buy things you need or wantD. To get paid for your work.12. According to the passage, where was rice used as money in history?A In the Philippines.B In ChinaC In AfricaD In America13. According to the passage, why did ancient Chinese coins have a square hole in the center?A. Because it would be easier to put them together and carry them around.B. Because it would be lighter for people to carry them from place to place.C. Because people wanted to make it look nicer.D. Because people wanted to save the expensive metal they were made from.14. It can be inferred from the passage that the reason why even gold and silver were inconvenient ifyou had to buy something expensive is _________.A. that they are easy to stealB. that they are difficult for people to obtainC. that they are not easy to carry aroundD. that they themselves are expensive, too15. Which do you choose as the best title for this passage?A Money and Its UsesB Different Things Used as MoneyC. Different Countries, Different Money D The History of MoneyPassage FourThe word “sport” first meant something that people did in their spare time. Later it often meant hunting wild animals and birds. About a hundred years ago the word was used for organized games. This is the usual meaning of the word today .People spend a lot of their spare time playing football, basketball, tennis and many other sports. Such people play because they want to. A few people are paid for the sport they play. These people are called professional sportsmen. They may be such sportsmen for only a few years, but during that time the best ones can make a lot of money. For example, a football player in England earns more than 50 000 pounds in a year. Of course, only a few sportsmen can earn as much as that.It is possible for middle class people to engage in sports like golf, tennis and motor-racing. Perhaps the most surprising thing about sportsmen and money is this: the star can earn more money from advertising than from sport.An advertisement for sports equipment does not simply say “Buy our things.” It says, “Buy the same shirt and shoes as…” Famous sportsmen can even advertise things like watches and food. T hey allow the companies to use their names or a photo of them and they are paid for this. Sport is no longer just something for people’s spare time.16.The word “sport” now usually means _______.A something done by sportsmen in their spare timeB hunting wild animals and birdsC organized gamesD school sports and games17. A professional sportsman is someone who _______.A makes money in his spare timeB play all the timeC earns money by playing a sportD play for his country and the people18. Most people spend a lot of their spare time playing a sport because they _______.A would like toB have to do soC want to earn some moneyD will be stars19. Famous sportsmen perhaps earn more money from________.A sportB advertisingC footballD his country20. Why do the companies pay the famous sportsmen? Because they _______.A like the sportsmenB are asked to do soC would buy the same shirtD want to sell more of their thingsⅢTranslations（20points, two points for each）Please translate the following sentences into English.1．她似乎以贬低别人为快。

If you do not use your arms or your legs for some time, they become weak; when you start using them again, they slowly become strong again. Everybody knows this, and nobody would think of questioning this fact. Yet there are many people who do not seem to know that the memory works in the same way. When someone says that he has a good memory, he really means that he keeps his memory in practice by exercising it regularly, either consciously or unconsciously. When someone else says that his memory is poor, he really means that he does not give it enough opportunity to become strong. The position is exactly the same as that of two persons, one of whom exercises his arms and legs by playing tennis, while the other sits in a chair or a motorcar all day.

Of course, there have always been people who have looked for adventure--- those who have climbed the highest mountains, traveled into unknown parts of the world or sailed in small boats across the greatest oceans. Now, however, there are people who look for an immediate excitement from a risky activity, which may only lost a few minutes or even seconds. I would consider Bungee jumping to be a good example of such an activity. You jump from a high place (perhaps a bridge or a hot-air balloon) 200 meters above the ground with a rope tied to your ankles(脚踝). You fall at up to 150 kilometers an hour until the rope stops you from hitting the ground. It is said that about 2 million people around the world have now tried Bungee jumping. Other activities that are as risky as Bungee jumping including jumping from tall building and diving （潜水） into the sea from a high place. Why do people take part in such activities as these? Some psychologists （心理学者）suggest that it is because life in modern societies has become safe and boring. Not very long ago, people ’s lives were often in danger. They had to go out and hunt for food, diseases could not be easily cured, and life was a continuous battle for them. Nowadays, according to many people, life offers little excitement. They live and work in rather safe conditions; they buy food in shops; and there are doctors and hospitals to look after them if they become ill. The answer for some of these people is to look for danger in activities such as Bungee jumping. 1. is the new, exciting sport that people are looking for nowadays.A Bungee jumpingB Climbing high mountainsC Sailing across oceansD Traveling into unknown place2. The word “risky ” in the passage means .A helpfulB dangerousC interestingD new3.People probably take part in dangerous sports nowadays because .A they have a lot of free timeB they can go to hospital if injuredC they need excitement in lifeD they no longer need to hunt for food4.The passage mainly tells us .A people are fond of new sportsB now why more people do dangerous sportsC people don’t like modern lifeD Bungee jumping is really dangerous5. In the paragraph 2 , “stop from” can be replaced by .A hear fromB come fromC prevent fromD rise from( B)When Ben Franklin was only a boy, he always wanted to know about things. He was always asking his father and brothers " What?" ,"How" and" Why?" They couldn't always tell him what he wanted to know. When they couldn't tell him, Ben tried to find out for himself.Many times Ben did find out things that no one knew before. The other boys would say, " That Ben Franklin !"He's always finding out something new!" Ben lived close to the water. He liked to go there to see boats. He saw how the wind blew them across the water. One day Ben said to himself, "Why can not the wind help me float across the water? And I am going to try. " Ben got his big kite. He took hold of his kite string and ran with it. The wind took the kite up in to the air. Then Ben jumped in to the water. The wind blew the kite high into the air. Ben began to float across the water. Soon he was on the other side, and he had not worked at all. One boy shouted, "Look at Ben floating across the water! His kite takes him to the other side without any work !Yes" said another, " He is always finding new ways to do things. "1When he was only a child, Ben ______.A liked to fly a kite by himselfB always asked easy questionsC always liked to play with waterD always liked to find out how things worked2 His father and brothers .A could not answer his questionsB could answer all his questionsC tried hard to find out something new for himD were too busy to answer his questions3How did Ben Franklin float across the water?A The other boy took him across it.B The water carried him across it.C The flying kite took him across it.D A boat took him across it.4 He found out many things that ______.A children did not knowB his father and brothers knewC people did not knowD most people knew5 In the passage, the clause" and he had not worked at all "means _____.A he worked hard to cross the waterB he did not go to work that dayC he did not cross the water at allD he crossed the water in an easy way六．Translate the following sentences (25%)1.He pointed out that she needed a better violin.2.He brought back a violin from Romania(罗马尼亚)as a present.3.He found out that she was very interested in music.4.They took part in music competitions(比赛) when they were children.5.She named the band(乐队) after the man who gave her the violin.第 3 页共3 页。

D. the property owners are afraid that companies will not move in
5. The word “exterior（Para.4）” is closest in meaning to _______.
Soon after the September 11 attack, the property’s ownershad considered the idea of rebuilding the towers exactly as they had stood there. But critics pointed that the original designs were rather dull and their size made them impersonal and intimidating(令人畏惧的). Instead, they recommended a collection of smallerbuildings including office space, retail stores and restaurants, and a memorial to the buildings and the people who died in them.

Our lives would be the same.We would have to use bikes, horses, or our feet to get to places. And wecouldn''t go as far as we are used to going. But we do have cars. With cars, people can come and go as they please. They can work far from home. Many people live in the country. But they work in the city. Most of them get there in cars. This means that there are a lot of cars on the road.Are there too many cars on the road? Some people think so. So they are asking that we take trains and buses. But not everyone can do this. Some people must take their cars. This is because no trains or buses go where they have to go. Maybe other people could go to work with them. Then there wouldn''t be so many cars on the road.What will our lives be like in times to come? Maybe we won''t need cars so much. Maybe more of us will work at home. Maybe trains and buses will go to more places. Then more people will be in them. This will mean more room on our streets and roads.It would be nice if people walk more. They might like to step along a street or road. They would not get far very fast. But they would have the time to look around them. Who knows? They might even feel better, too!1、What's not the possible reason why there are a lot of cars on the road?A、Because everyone likes to drive his own car to do whatever he likes. ?B、Because the number of trains and buses is small.C、Because many people who live in the country go to work in cars in the city.D、Because it is more convenient for people to go to places in cars than other means.2、According to the author, which of the following is not the reason why thenumber of cars willbe reduced in the future?A、More people will work at home.B、Trains and buses will go to more places.C、More people will take buses and trains.D、People won't need so many cars.3、It can be inferred from the passage that __.A、the author thinks that people who are in the city should not live in the countryB、the author thinks that there should be more trains and buses which should go to more placesC、the author wishes that the number of cars would be reduced so that there will be more room on the streets and roadsD、the authors believe that more walk does good to health4、What does the underlined word "please" here mean?A、to goB、to meanD、to love5、What's the writer's opinion in this passage?A、We should use more carsB、We should use fewer cars.C、We should not use carsD、We should take good care of cars.2、Your mobile phone( ⼿机) rings, and instead of the usual electronic signals, it's playing your favorite music. A friend sends you favorite song to cheer you up. One day, a record company might forward new records and music videos to your phone.The mobile business is getting into the music business. For the moment, the interest is in pleasant ring tones, but some companies are hoping to take full advantage of the next generation of mobile phone --- all-purpose gadgets ( ⼩玩意⼉) that blend phone, personal stereo, video player and Internet browser into one.Finally, record companies might send new records and videos to fans who register their numbers.The fans could pass music or songs along to friends--- a kind of musical trading card. Unlike Internet tracks, mobile downloads would be easy for recordcompanies to control, said former record industry official Ralph Simon, who is now chairman of Yourmobile, based in Santa Monica, California."If you pass a song along to other phones through a network, each phone can be charged,"said Simon."It's like going through a toll gate ( 收费站). There's more possibility for copyright control than there is on the Internet."Massachusetts-based Converse is offering a service in Portugal and theNetherlands that lets people record tunes on their voice mail or send music as presents to friends. Finally, people might be able to sing karaoke and pass them along. The company is sure that people will want to use music to reach out and touch someone.1、The underlined word “ blend” in the second paragraph most probably means( )A、sendB、becomeC、mixD、compare2、Record companies ( ) the idea of passing songs and music along mobilephones.A、are worried aboutB、are interested inC、try hard to stopD、take no notice of3、According to Ralph Simon, it would be easier to ( ) through mobile phonenetwork than through the Internet.C、pars along songs and musicD、send voice maid4、"Massachusetts- based Converse" in the six paragraph probably refers to ( ) ?A、a personB、a city in IsraelC、a state of USAD、a company5、All the following are true except( )A、The mobile companies become involved in music businessB、The mobile phone might serve as a stereo, a video play as well as an internet browserC、Your friend might sing karaoke and send it to your phoneD、The mobile network is better than the internet三、填空题 (共 10 题、0 / 20 分 )1、As long as you return the money promptly.

Her most popular novel, “Pride and Prejudice”, described Elizabeth Bennett and her search for romance through a world of balls, dinners and endless social rules. Here the following helps you enter into Austen’s high society.1. Coming outGirls were treated as children until 18, when they “came out”. Parents took their daughters from their country homes to London. There, these young ladies from noble families were presented to the queen during the biggest ball of the season at Buckingham Palace. This was their official entrance into society. Afterwards, they attended balls, dinners and parties in London. The girls met the important people in London society and, especially, searched for a suitable husband.2. DancesFamilies of unmarried young women often hosted dances at their homes and invited others of the same social class—particularly single young men. At the dance, each eligible girl had a dance card. If a young man wanted to dance with a girl, he approached her and asked to sign her card. A proper girl did not dance with one man for more than three songs in a row.3. Paying callsDuring Au sten’s time, there were strict rules about how, when, and why to visit friends and neighbors. To express condolences over the death of a friend’s family member or offer congratulations for an award, a visitor was required to wait a week after the event before visiting. Meanwhile, a party guest must visit and thank the hostess within the week after attending a party. Guests would be considered rude if they waited for more than two weeks to visit. Visits were supposed to last only 20 minutes to half an hour.36. Which of the following indicates girls’ official entrance into society?________A) They were 18.B) Their parents took them from their country homes to London.C) They found a suitable husband.D) In the biggest ball of the season at Buckingham Palace, they were presented to the queen.37. What does the author probably mean by “eligible” in the third paragraph?________A) Suited. B) Qualified. C) Suitable. D) Appropriate.38. As a rule, when should a party guest visit and thank the hostess after attending aparty?________A) Within the week after the event. B) More than two weeks.C) Within two weeks. D) Any time that he or she likes.39. In the writer’s opinion, ________.A) the British people were friendlyB) the British social rules in high society were strictC) the British parents were strict with their daughtersD) the British girls were very practical40. What would be the most appropriate title for this passage?________A) Austen’s Time.B) The British People.C) Good Manners in High Society. D) Strict Social Rules.Questions 41 to 45 are based on the following passage.Halloween (October 31) is a holiday widely celebrated with different names in many countries. Although it originated as a religious holiday, it has lost its religious connections in the United States. It is now celebrated largely as a children’s day, and many American children look forward to it for days and weeks beforehand. The orange pumpkin is harvested at this time of year and is hollowed out, a funny face cut into it, and a candle placed inside as a decoration in the window. City folks, nowadays, sometimes use paper pumpkins for decorations.Some years ago, the holiday was celebrated by dressing up in strange and frightening costumes and playing tricks on one’s neighbors and friends, such as ringing doorbells, throwing bits of corn on the window panes, and in other ways making minor disturbances. More recently, children come to the door to have friends and neighbors admire their costumes and guess who they are behind the false faces and receive treats of candies, fruits or cookies. They say, “Trick or Treat”, which means “I will play a trick on you if you do not give me a treat.”This practice has even more recently developed into a significant international activity. Instead of candies, the children collect money for UNICEF (United Nations International Children’s Emergency Fund). This special collection of money by children for needy children throughout the world is known as “UNICEF Trick of Treat”. Although it has begun only recently, it results in several million dollars each year contributed to UNICEF. The collection box is orange, reminiscent of the pumpkin.41. In history, Halloween was once a ______ day.A) children’s B) national C) religious D) international42. Which of the following is mentioned about how children celebrated the holiday some yearsago?________A) Making up in peculiar and horrifying costumes.B) Playing jokes on neighbors or friends.C) Ringing door bells.D) All of the above.43. What kind of treats will children not receive on October 31?________A) Candies. B) Fruits. C) Cookies. D) Chocolates.44. Why do children collect money to celebrate the holiday?________A) They need pocket money.B) They can use the money to buy whatever they like.C) They can help those children who need money in the whole world.D) What they did in the past have bored them.45. From the passage, we know that ________.A) to some degree, Halloween has not been the American own holiday and its influence will be greaterand greaterB) Halloween will become the most important holiday for the American peopleC) more and more parents will take part in the celebration of this holidayD) it will be celebrated by all the people around the worldQuestions 46 to 50 are based on the following passage.In the United States, it is not customary to telephone someone very early in the morning. If you telephone him early in the day, while he is shaving or having breakfast, the time of the call shows that the matter is very important and requires immediate attention. The same meaning is attached to telephone calls made after 11:00 p.m. If someone receives a call during sleeping hours, he assumes it’s a matter of life or death. The time chosen for the call communicates its importance.In social life, time plays a very important part. In the U.S.A., guests tend to feel they are not highly regarded if the invitation to a dinner party is extended only three or four days before the party date. But it is not true in all countries. In other areas of the world, it may be considered foolish to make an appointment too far in advance because plans which are made for a date more than a week away tend to be forgotten.The meaning of time differs in different parts of the world. Thus, misunderstandings arise between people from cultures that treat time differently. Promptness is valued highly in American life, for example. If people are not prompt, they may be regarded as impolite or not fully responsible. In the U.S., no one would think of keeping a business associate waiting for an hour, which would be too impolite. A person, who is 5 minutes late, will say a few words of explanation, though perhaps he will not complete the sentence.46. The author’s main purpose of the passage is to ______.A) emphasize the importance of time in American social customsB) tell us time and tide waits for no manC) teach us how to get on well with the American peopleD) introduce the personal relationship among the American people47. Generally speaking, when is it proper for you to call someone?________A) Very early in the morning. B) After 11 p.m.C) Sleeping hours. D) Neither very early in the morning nor after 11 p.m. 48. According to the passage, the author of the article may agree that ________.A) it is appropriate to send your invitation cards three or four days before a dinner party date in AmericaB) it may be appropriate to send your invitation to your guests three or four days before a dinner party date in some culturesC) time means the same for all the people around the worldD) people can communicate each other very well if they live in the same culture49. If you live in America, you should pay attention to ______.A) the time of your making a phone callB) the time of your sending your invitation cardsC) the time of your meeting with someoneD) all of the above50. The word “attached” in the third sentence of the first paragraph means ________.A) clung B) stuck C) given D) provided四、Translation（4 point for each ，20 points in total)1、I’m afraid it won’t be possible, but thank you very much anyway.2、Please come whenever it is your convenience.3、I’m terribly sorry, but I have made other plans.
