Her bus moved slowly along through 51 morning traffic, making her a few minutes late for her very first job. She decided to start out half an hour earlier the next day.Once inside the hall she had to stand at the elevators and wait several minutes 52 she could get on one to go to the sixth floor. When she finally reached the office marked "King Enterprises, '‘she knocked at the door nervously and waited. There was no answer. She knocked again, but still there was no reply. 53 inside the next office, she could hear the sound of voices, so she opened the door and went in.Although she was sure it was the same office she had been in two weeks before when she had had the interview with Mr. King, it looked quite difterent now. In fact, it 54 looked like an office at all. The employees were just standing around 55 At the far end of the room, somebody 56 have just told a good joke, she thought, because there was a loud burst of laughter as she came in. For a moment she had thought they were laughing at her.Then one of the men looked at his watch, 57 his hands and said something to the others.Quickly they all went to their desks and, in a matter of seconds, everyone was hard at work. No one paid any, attention to Marie. Finally she went up to the man who was sitting at the desk nearest to the door and explained that this was her first day in the office. Hardly 58 from his work, he told her to have a seat and wait for Mr. King, who would arrive 59 . Then Marie realized that the day's work in the office began just before Mr. King arrived. Later she found out that he lived in Connecticut and came into Manhattan on the 60 train every morning, arriving in the office at 9: 35 a. m. , so that his staff knew exactly when to start working.51.

Reading Comprehension ( 60 points )Directions: There are four reading passages in this part. Each passage is followed by five questions. For each question there are four suggested answers marked A, B, C and D. Choose one best answer and blacken the corresponding letter on ANSWER SHEET Ⅰ.Passage OneIt was a case of emergency. The four-year-old girl awoke and smelled smoke. She couldn’t wake her mother, so she dialed "zero" An operator immediately called the fire department. Help was sent, and a tragedy avoided.Days before this emergency, the mother had taught her child how to telephone for help. Children as young as two and one-half years old can be taught to use the phone in emergency situations. Here are some points.Memorizing certain facts is important. Teach your children their names, and the section of town where you live. Try to keep what they learn within their abilities. Simple information, learned well, is better than difficult information only partly learned.Be sure your children know how to use the telephone. They should be taught to dial "zero" for the operator, at the very least. And they should be taught to dial "911" if it is used in your town.Practice over a period of several days. Over-learning is necessary so the child can act automatically in case of emergency.If you would like a booklet giving instructions on calling for help, write Telephone For Help, BOX 99, Bowling Green Station, New York, NY 10004.61. From this passage, why is it a good idea for children to learn how to use the telephone?A. Children have fun dialing.B. Emergencies happen without warning.C. Children can wake their parents.D. Dialing can help children with their math study.62. Based on this passage, over-learning is good because ______.A. simple information is usedB. children should know their namesC. it helps children act automaticallyD. difficult information is only partly learned63. Paragraph 4 talks about dialing "911". This number is probably ______.A. the operatorB. an emergency numberC. a practice number for childrenD. used to keep children calm64. One thing the passage does NOT tell you to do is ______.A. call your neighborB. practice several timesC. teach children how to use the telephoneD. have children memorize some simple facts65. What is the main idea of the passage?A. Give instructions on calling for help.B. Partly-learned information is useless.C. Teach children how to deal with emergencies.D. Keep what children learn within their abilities.Passage TwoI was only eight years old when the Second World War ended, but I can still remember something about the victory celebrations in the small town where I lived on the day when the war in Europe ended. We had not suffered much from the war there. But both at home and at school I had become accustomed to the phrases "bef6re the war" and "when the war’s over". "Before the war", apparently, things had been better, though I was too yo ung to understand why, except that there had been no bombs then, and people had eaten things like ice-cream and bananas, which I had only heard of. When the war was over we would go back to London, but this meant little to me. I did not remember what London was like.What I remember now about VE ( Victory in Europe) Day was the May evening. After dinner I said I wanted to see the bonfire (大火堆), so when it got dark my father took me to the end of the street. The bonfire was very high, and somehow people had collected some old clothes to dress the unmistakable figure with the moustache (胡子) they had to put on top of it. Just as we arrived, they set light to it. The flames rose and soon swallowed the "guy". Everyone was cheering and shouting, and an old woman came out of her house with two chairs and threw them on the fire to keep it going.I stood beside my father until the fire started to go down, not knowing what to say. He said nothing, either. He had fought in the First World War and may have been remembering the end of that At last he said, "Well, that's it, son. Let's hope that this time it really will be the last one."66. Where did the author live before the Second World War?A. In London.B. In a small town.C. In Europe.D. In the countryside.67. What kind of food had the author certainly not tasted during the war?A. Bread.B. Butter.C. Meat.D. Ice cream and bananas.68.

Which of the following statements is true?A. The author's father built a bonfire on VE Day.B. The author's father had fought in the First World. War.C. The author's father had fought in the Second World War.D. The author's father threw two chairs on the fire to keep it going.70. By saying "Let's hope that this time it really will be the last one", the father meant that ______.A. he wished people had not built the bonfireB. he hoped people would not build any more bonfiresC. he hoped there would be no more wars in the worldD. he wished the Second World War had not happenedPassage ThreeAt the first sight the planet Mars does not appear very welcome to any kind of life. It has very little oxygen and water; the temperature at night is below -50℃and winds of 100 miles per hour cause severe dust storms. However, the surface of the planet seems to show that water flowed across it some time in the past, and it is believed that there is enough ice at the poles to cover the planet with water if it melts. Although there is no life on the Mars now, some scientists think that there may have been some form of life long time ago. At that time, the planet had active volcanoes;the atmosphere was thicker and warmer; and there was water. In fact, in some ways the Mars may have been similar to the Earth, where life exists.Some people believe that the Mars could support life in the future if the right conditions were produced. The first step would be to warm the planet using certain gases which trap the Sun’s heat in the planet's atmosphere. With warmth, water and carbon dioxide (二氧化碳), simple plants could begin to grow, These plants could slowly make the Mars more suitable for living. It is estimated that the whole process might take between 100,000 and 200,000 years. In the meantime, people could begin to live on the planet in special closed environments. They would provide a lot of useful information about conditions on the Mars and the problems connected with living there.71. Some scientists think there may have been life on the Mars in the past because ______.A. there is no life there nowB. there is a large amount of water at the polesC. the Mars may be able to support life in the futureD. conditions may have been similar to those on the Earth72. There could be life on the Mars in the future if ______.A. it supported life in the pastB. certain gases are used to cool the planetC. the atmosphere can be heated enough to grow simple plantsD. the planet’s volcanoes become as active as they were in the past73. People may be able to live on the Mars ______.A. within the next 200,000 yearsB. only 200,000 years from nowC. only 150,000 years from nowD. as soon as the planet becomes cool enough74. The author's attitude towards the possibility of life on the Mars in the future isA. doubtfulB. positiveC. negativeD. uninterested75. Which is the best title for this passage?A. The Possibility of Life on the MarsB. Future Conditions on the MarsC. The Mars and the EarthD. A Study of the Climate of the MarsPassage FourIt is physically impossible for a wall-educated intellectual, or a brave man to make money the chief object of his thoughts; as physically impossible as it is for him to make his dinner the principal object of them. All healthy people like their dinner, but their dinner is not the main object of their lives. So all healthy-minded people like making money--ought to like it and to enjoy the satisfaction of winning it; but the main object of their lives is not money; it is something better than money.A good soldier, for instance, mainly wishes to do his fighting well. He is glad of his pay--very properly so, and just complains when you keep him ten months without it; still, his main opinion of life is to win battles, not to be paid for winning them.So of doctors. They like fees no doubt--ought to like them; yet if they are brave and well educated, the entire object of their lives is not fees. They would rather cure their patient and lose their fees than kill him and get it. And so with all other brave and rightly trained men; their work is first, their fees second, very important always, but still second.76. The main idea of this passage is that ______.A. money matters more than workB. money is not necessary at allC. money is as important as workD. money comes second to work in importance77. The passage implies that healthy-minded people best enjoy ______.A. the happiness of accomplishing their workB. the satisfaction of making moneyC. the pleasure of having their dinnerD. the fun of fighting battles78. According to the author, a good soldier ______.A. dislikes his payB. ignores his payC. ought to enjoy his payD. doesn’t complain when kept without pay for months79. The author believes that a good doctorA. makes money the entire object of his lifeB. places curing his patient above allC. doesn't like making moneyD. enjoys his work only80. Which of the following is the chief technique used by the author to support his argument7A. Sharp contrastB. Logical reasoningC. Detailed descriptionD. Illustration with examplesⅤ.

Reading Comprehension (40 points)Man is a land animal, but he is also closely tied to the sea. Throughout history the sea has served the needs of man. The sea has provided man with food and a convenient way to travel to many parts of the world. Today, experts believe that nearly two-thirds of the world?s population live within eighty kilometers of the seacoast.In the modern technological world the sea offers many resources to help mankind survive. Resources on land are begin ning to grow less. The sea, however, still offers hope to supply many of man?s needs in the future.The riches of the sea yet to be developed by man?s technology are impressive. Oil and gas explorations have existed for nearly thirty years. Valuable amounts of minerals such as iron, copper and so on exist on the ocean floor.Besides oil and gas, the sea may offer new sources of energy. For example, warm temperature of the ocean can be used as the steam in a steamship. Sea may also offer a source of energy as electricity for mankind.Technology is enabling man to explore even deeper under the sea. It is obvious that the technology to harvest the sea continues to improve. By the 2050, experts believe that the problems to explore the food, minerals and energy resources of the sea will have been largel7y solved.61. What is the beat title for the passage?C. Sea and Sources of EnergyD. Sea Exploring Technology.62. It can be inferred from the passage that ______.A. man hasn?t completely made use of the riches of the seaB. technology for exploring the sea has been solvedC. harvesting rice in the sea will be made possibleD. in the near future man can live on the ocean floor63. Why does the author mention a steamship?A. To illustrate that man can make use of sources of energy from the sea.B. To show that a steamship is better than other kinds of ships.C. To argue that man should use steamships.D. To indicate that it is warmer in the ocean than on land.64. According to the author, technology is important because ______.A. resources on land are running short in ten yearsB. man can use it to explore the deeper seaC. it is a lot of fun diving into the seaD. ancient people used it to explore the sea65. According to the author, when will the problems to explore the deeper sea largely be solved?A. In the next generation.B. By the end of the 20th century.C. In the near future.D. By the middle of the 21st century.Question 66 to 70 are based on the following passage:If women are mercilessly exploited (剥削) year after year, they have only themselves to blame. Because they tremble at the thought of being seen in public in clothes that are out of fashion, they are always taken advantage of by the designers and the big stores. Clothes which have been worn only a few times have to be put aside because of the change of fashion. When you come to think of it, only a woman is capable of standing in front of a wardrobe (⾐柜) packed full of clothes and announcing sadly that she has nothing to wear.Changing fashions are nothing more than the intentional creation of waste. Many women spend vast sums of money each year to replace clothes that have hardly been worn. Women who cannot afford to throw away clothing in this way, waste hours of their time altering the dresses they have. Skirts are lengthened or shortened; neck-lines are lowered or raised, and so on.No one can claim that the fashion industry contributes anything really important to society.Fashion designers are rarely concerned with vital things like warmth, comfort and durability (耐⽤). They are only interested in outward appearance and they take advantage of the fact that women will put up with any amount of discomfort, as long as they look right. There can hardly be a man who hasn't at some time in his life smiled at the sight of a woman shaking in a thin dress on a winter day, or delicately picking her way through deep snow in high-heeled shoes.When comparing men and women in the matter of fashion, the conclusions to be drawn are obvious. Do the constantly66. Designers and big stores always make money ________.A. by mercilessly exploiting women workers in the clothing industryB. because they are capable of predicting new fashionsC. by constantly changing the fashions in women's clothingD. because they attach great importance to quality in women s clothing67. To the writer, the fact that women alter their old-fashioned dresses is seen as __.A. a waste of moneyB. a waste of timeC. an expression of tasteD. an expression of creativity68. The writer would be less critical if fashion designers placed more stress on the ____of clothing.A. costB. appearanceC. comfortD. suitability69. According to the passage, which of the following statements is TRUE?A. New fashions in clothing are created for the commercial exploitation of women.B. The constant changes in women's clothing reflect their strength of character.C. The fashion industry makes an important contribution to society.D. Fashion designs should not be encouraged since they are only welcomed by women.70. By saying "the conclusions to be drawn are obvious" (Para. 4, Line 1-2), the writer means that_________.A. women's inconstancy in their choice of clothing is often laughed atB. women are better able to put up with discomfortC. men are also exploited greatly by fashion designersD. men are more stable and reliable in characterQuestions 71 to 75 are based on the following passage“I have great confidence that by the end of the decade we?ll know in vast detail how cancer cells arise,” says microbiologist Robert Weinberg, an expert on cancer. “But,” he cautions, “some people have the idea that once one understands the causes, the cure will rapidly follow. Consider Pasteur, he discovered the causes of many kinds of infections, but it was fifty or sixty years before cures were available.”This year, 50 percent of the 910,000 people who suffer from cancer will survive at least five years. In the year 2000, the National Cancer Institute estimates, that figure will be 75 percent. For some skin cancers, the five-year survival rate is as high as 90 percent. But other survival statistics are still discouraging -- 13 percent for lung cancer, and 2 percent for cancer of the pancreas (胰腺).With as many as 120 varieties in existence, discovering how cancer works is not easy. The researchers made great progress in the early 1970s, when they discovered that oncogenes, which are cancer-causing genes (基因), are inactive in normal cells. Anything from cosmic rays to radiation to diet may activate a dormant oncogene, but how remains unknown. If several oncogenes are driven into action, the cell, unable to turn them off, becomes cancerous.The exact mechanisms involved are still mysterious, but the likelihood that many cancers are initiated at the level of genes suggests that we will never prevent all cancers. “Changes are a normal part of the evolutionary process,” says oncologist William Hayward. Environmental factors can never be totally eliminated; as Hayward points out, “We can?t prepare a medicine against cosmic rays.”The prospects for cure, though still distant, are brighter.“First, we need to understand how the normal cell controls itself. Second, we have to determine whether there are a limited number of genes in cells which are always responsible for at least part of the trouble. If we can understand how cancer works, we can counteract its action.”71. The example of Pasteur in the passage is used to__.A. predict that the secret of cancer will be disclosed in a decadeB. indicate that the prospects for curing cancer are brightC. prove that cancer will be cured in fifty to sixty yearsD. warn that there is still a long way to go before cancer can be conquered72. The author implies that by the year 2000, __.A. there will be a drastic rise in the five-year survival rate of skin-cancer patientsB. 90 percent of the skin-cancer patients today will still be livingC. the survival statistics will be fairly even among patients with various cancersD. there won?t be a drastic i ncrease of survival rate of all cancer patients73. Oncogenes are cancer-causing genes__.A. that are always in operation in a healthy personB. which remain unharmful so long as they are not activatedC. that can be driven out of normal cellsD. which normal cells can' t turn off74. Which of the following word can be used to replace the word “likelihood” in Para.3_______A. symptomB. similarityC. probabilityD. potential75. The word "dormant" in the third paragraph most probably means__.A. deadB. ever-presentC. inactiveD. potentialQuestion 76 to 80 are based on the following passage:The current generation of parents must，in many cases，balance care of children with care for their own aging parents. It is estimated that women can now expect their mothers to live 55 years after their own birth and 30 to 40 years after the birth of their first child，many analysts suggest that this added pressure disproportionately touches the women，who already carry major responsibility for their own children.Perhaps the most important issue that emerges from the social trends just described is the impact of family instability andsingle parenting on children. Some argue that single-parent families are a deficient form of family functioning. Others see them as a courageous，desirable alternative to unhappy two-parent families.On average，kids fare better in two-parent families. But a sizable percentage of children in single parent families thrive，and many in two-parent families do not，what matters most – regardless of family structure – is what happens within the family. Particularly important is the family…s ability to support and nurture，minimize conflict，practice democratic decision making，provide consistent and positive forms of discipline and mode，and encourage values of caring and responsibility. Families should also provide access to structured activities （e.g.churchparticipations，clubs，organizations，lessons）and a stimulating environment for learning （including parental involvement in schooling）。

For this was what the notice just inside the entrance promised. It said: “Remember, once a week, one of our customers gets free goods. This May Be Y our Lucky Day!”For several weeks Mrs. Edwards hoped, like many of her friends, to be the lucky customer. Unlike her friends, she never gave up hoping. The cupboards in kitchen were full of things which she did not need. Her husband tried to advise her against buying things but failed. She dreamed of the day when the manage r of the supermarket would approach her and say: “Madam, this is Y our Lucky Day. Everything in your basket is free.”One Friday morning, after she had finished her shopping and had taken it to her car, she found that she had forgotten to buy any tea. She dashed back to the supermarket, got the tea and went towards the cash-desk. As she did so, she saw the manager of the supermarket approach her. “Madam,” he said, holding out his hand, “I want to congratulate you! Y ou are our lucky customer and everything yo u have in your basket is free!”61.

It is listed by the Guinness Book of Would Records as the world’s largest underground lake. The Lost Sea is part of an extensive and historic cave system called Craighead Caverns.The caverns have been known and used since the days of the Cherokee Indian nation. The cave expands into a series of huge rooms from a small opening on the side of the mountain. Approximately one mile from the entrance, in a room called “The Council Room,” many Indian artisfacts have been found. Some of the items discovered include pottery, arrowheads, weapons, and jewelry.For many years there were persistent rumors of a large underground lake somewhere in a cave, but it was not discovered until 1905. In that year, a thirteen-year-old boy named Ben Sands crawledthrough a small opening three hundred feet underground. He found himself in a large cave half filled with water.Today tourists visit the Lost Sea and ride far out onto it in glass-bottomed boats powered by electric motors. More than thirteen acres of water have been mapped out so far and still no end to the lake has been found. Even though teams of divers have tried to explore the Lost Sea, the full extent of it is still unknown.66. The Lost Sea is unique because it is ________.A. part of a historical cave systemB. the biggest underground lake in the worldC. listed in the Guinness Book of World RecordsD. the largest body of water in Tennessee67. The Craighead Caverns have been known ________.A. through historyB. since the time of the Indian nationsC. since 1905D. since divers explored them68. Who located the Lost Sea in recent times?A. The Cherokee Indians.B. Tourists.C. Ben Sands.D. Scientists.69. What was found in “The Council Room”?A. A small natural opening.B. A large cave.C. Another series of rooms.D. Many old Indian objects.70. It can be inferred from the passage that the Craighead Caverns presently serve as ____.A. an underground testing siteB. an Indian meeting groundC. a tourist attractionD. a motor boat race coursePassage ThreeGenerations of Americans have been brought up to believe that a good breakfast is one life’s essentials. Eating breakfast at the start of the day, we have all been told, and told again, is as necessary as putting gasoline in the family car before starting a trip.But for many people the thought of food first thing in the morning is by no means a pleasure. So despite all the efforts, they still take no breakfast. Between 1977 and 1983, the latest year for which figures are available, the numbe r of people who didn’t have breakfast, increased by 33 percent.For those who feelpain of guilt about not eating breakfast, however, there is some good news. Several studies in the last few years indicate that, for adults especially, there may be nothing w rong with omitting breakfast. “Going without breakfast does not affect performance,” said Arrold E. Bender, former professor of the nutrition at Queen Elizabeth College in London, “nor does giving people breakfast improve performance.”Scientific evidence linking breakfast to better health or better performance is surprisingly inadequate, and most of the recent work involves children, not adults, “The literature”, says one researcher, Dr. Erresto at the University of Texas, “is poor”.71. The latest year for which figures could be obtained is _______.A. the year the author wrote the articleB. 1977C. any year between 1997 and 1983D. 198372. For those who do not take breakfast, the good news is that _______.A. several studies have been done in the past few yearsB. the omission of breakfast does no harm to one’s healthC. adults have especially made studies in this fieldD. eating little in the morning is good for health73. “…nor does giving people breakfast improve performance” means ______.A. anyone without breakfast does improve his performanceB. not giving people breakfast improve performanceC. having breakfast does not improve performance, eitherD. people having breakfast do improve their performance74. The word “literature” in the last sentence refers to _______.A. stories, poems, plays, etc.B. written works on a particular subjectC. any printed materialD. the modern literature of America75. What is implied but NOT stated by the author is that _______.A. breakfast does not affect performanceB. Dr. Erresto is engaged in research work at an institution of higher learningC. not eating breakfast might affect the health of childrenD. Professor Bender once taught college courses in nutrition in LondonPassage FourAbout 35% of all high school graduates in America continue their education in an institution of higher learning. The word college is used to refer to either a college or a university. These institutions offer four-year programs that lead to a Bachelor of Arts (B.A.) or Bachelor Science (B.S.) degree. Some students attend a junior college (providing only a two-year program) for one to two years before entering a four-year college as a sophomore (二年级生) or junior (三年级生). It is generally easier to be accepted at a state university than at a private one. Most private schools require strict entrance examinations and a high grade point average (GPA), as well as specific college prep classes in high school. Private schools cost considerably more than state colleges and famous private schools are very expensive. Poorer students can sometimes attend, however, by earning scholarships. Some college graduates go on to earn advanced masters or doctoral degrees in grad (graduate) school. Occupations in certain fields such as law or medicine require such advanced studies.Since college costs are very high, most students work at part-time jobs. Some have full-time jobs and go to school part-time. Often some will take five or more years to complete a four-year program because of money / job demands on their time.While the college and work demands take up the great part of a student’s time, most still enjoy social activities. Sports, dances, clubs, movies, and plays are all very popular. However, gathering together for long, philosophical talks at a favorite meeting place on or near the university is probably the most popular activity.76. College education is _______ in America.A. quite commonB. very rareC. something difficultD. almost impossible77. Which of the following is NOT required for entering most private schools.A. entrance examinationsB. taking part in many activitiesC. GPAD. college prep classes78. How can poor studentsattend private schools?A. Only by working at part-time jobs.B. Only by working at full-time jobs.C. Only by earning scholarships.D. All of above.79. The American college students like to _______ most of all.A. discuss problems on philosophyB. play ballsC. earn enough moneyD. go to the cinemas or theatres80. The best title for this passage is _______.A. Part-time jobsB. American collegeC. Popular activityD. A new systemⅤ.

You should choose the right answer that best fits into the passage.Scientists used to explore 31 the surface of the ocean. Now they 32 below the surface，too. They want to know about the ocean water and the 33 and animal life 34 in the ocean.In 1934 the scientist William Beebe dived 3，000 feet below the surface in a hollow steel ball. In 1935 Auguste Picard dived 10，330 feet. In 1960 his son Jean dived to a 35 of 35，800 feet.All these early dives were deep. But the divers could not stay down for very long. They had to 36 the surface after a few seconds. Scientists needed to stay down longer to study life below the surface. 37 ，they succeeded. Cousteau，a Frenchman，was able to 38 down to a depth of 36 feet for one month and to a depth of 90 feet for a week.Now scientists are developing even 39 equipment. With this new equipment，men can stay 40 the surface for days or 41 weeks. In 1962 Consteau 42 a research station 35 feet below the surface. Then in 1964 he set up another station on the ocean floor of the Red Sea.This was the first undersea station to operate 43 help from the surface.Many countries are now studying undersea 44 . The Soviet Union has an undersea laboratory in the Crimean Sea. The United States has a laboratory 50 feet 45 on the ocean floor 46 the Virgin Islands. In 1970 five men lived there for two weeks. Then a 47 of five women scientists stayed in the laboratory. 48 came other teams of men. All were there to explore the ocean depths and 49 plans for the use of its resources. Scientists hope to find enough 50 ，vegetable，and animal wealth there to provide food for the whole world.31. A. in B. to C. On D. under32. A. explore B. are exploring C. explored D. will explore33.

Each passage is followed by some questions orunfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D, you should decide the best choice.Passage 1With a tremendous roar from its rocket engine，the satellite is sent up into the sky. Minutes later，at an altitude of 300 miles，this tiny electronic moon begins to orbit about the earth. Its radio begins to transmit a staggering amount of information about the satellite’s orbital path，the amount of radiation it detects，and the presence of meteorites. Information of all kinds races back to the earth. No human being could possibly copy down all these facts，much less remember and organize them. But an electronic computer can.The marvel of the machine age，the electronic computer has been in use only since 1946. It can do simple computations—add，subtract，multiply，and divide—with lightning speed and perfect accuracy. It can multiply two 10digit numbers in 1／1，000 second，a problem that would take an average person five minutes to do with pencil and paper. Some computers can work 500，000 times faster than any person can.Once it is given a program，that is，a carefully worked out set of instructions devised by a technician trained in computer language，a computer can gather a wide range of information for many purposes. For the scientist it can get information from outer space or from the depths of the ocean. In business and industry the computer prepares factory inventories，keeps track of sales trends and production needs，mails dividend checks，and makes out company payrolls. It can keep bank accounts up to date and make out electric bills. If you are planning a trip by plane，the computer will find out what route to take and what space is available.51. Why does the author regard the electronic computer as the marvel of the machine age?A. Because electronic computers are rare.B. Because people know little about electronic computers.C. Because electronic computers can do much more kinds of work that human beings can’t.D. Because electronic computers have been widely suspected.52. Electronic computers were given the name in the beginning just for the simple reason that_______ .A. they could do computationsB. they could work much faster than human beingsC. they looked like an abacusD. they could remember data quickly53. According to the passage，which of the following is NOT true?A. Computers began to be used in 1946.B. Computers can add，subtract，multiply and divide.C. Computers were widely used during World War Ⅱ.D. No human being can work as fast as a computer.54. A computer can calculate_______.A. with lightning speedB. accuratelyC. with a speed 500，000 times faster than a personD. all above55. In the first sentence of last paragraph，“program” would probably mean_______.A. a performanceB. a showC. a worked out set of instructionsD. a TV playPassage 2On the old time farm in America there were chickens and turkeys. There were also cows，pigs，and other livestock. But there were very few machines. Most of the work was done by the entire farm family with the h elp of a “hired” man. Sometimes extra labourers were needed in busy seasons. Horses provided 79 percent of the power used，human labor 15 percent，and machines only 6 percent.Today all that has changed. On many modern farms machines now supply 96 percent of the power，human labor 3 percent，and horses 1 percent. Modern farms are enterprising businesses which keep only the livestock that can pay its way. The children go to school by bus every morning，the parents work on the farm or in the house，and hired help is seldom needed. Their work has been replaced by a whole army of farm machines.Farmers in the machine age also use the new fertilizers，new sprays，new feeds，new hybrid seeds，and other helps developed by farm sciences. As a result the farmers are able to produce more food with less labour. This means fewer but larger farms and fewer but moreprosperous farmers.56. In old days，most of the work on a farm was done by_______.A. all the farm familyB. livestockC. farm machinesD. both A and B57. From the first paragraph，we learn that in old days the most important farming power was____.A. LivestockB. farmersC. MachinesD. extra laborers58. On today’s farms，the chief reason why livestock is still raised would probably be____.A. that farmers conventions are difficult to be given upB. that farmers want to gain more profitC. that farmers have to do soD. that farmers work has been replaced by machines59. On modern farms，farmers need mostly all the followings EXCEPT_______.A. farm scienceB. seedsC. FertilizersD. hard work60. In the last sentence of Paragraph 3，“fewer but larger farms and fewer but more prosperous farmers” means_______.A. hired help is seldom neededB. productivity on the farms has been raised greatlyC. productivity on the farms has fallen sharplyD. more food is never neededPassage 3City traffic jam—one of the least wanted effects of the motor vehicle—is something with which we’re all familiar and for which most of us have an answer. But which solution is best?Some people suggest for better roads，others for cars to be banned(禁止) from city centers and yet others say better public transport would attract drivers from their lonely and boring journeys.But the important question is what natural power creates a big city center. We are，after all，in an age of electronic communication; our big shopping areas have moved out of city centers，and our living areas moved out of them long ago.Yet some force causes offices and service industries related to them to gather in London or New York or Tokyo. This suggests that far from the problems of a crowded environment forcing companies and people to move out，there is a critical (重大的) size beyond which more companies are attracted to move in. Nobody seems to know why，yet the answer is important to the way traffic jam is dealt with.61. Which of the following is NOT mentioned in the passage as the cause of the traffic problem?A. The poor public transport.B. The over concentration of shopping centers.C. The great number of cars in the city centers.D. The bad road conditions.62. According to the passage，offices and their associated service industries move to big cities because of_______.A. the convenience of communicationB. the gathering of companiesC. some unknown forceD. the convenience of shopping63. The word “This”(Line 2，Para.4) refers to_______.A. some forceB. traffic jamC. the force that causes offices to move in or outD. the fact that companies gather in big cities64. This passage is most likely taken from_______.A. a novelB. a TV playC. an instructionD. a news report65. The topic of this passage would probably be_______.A. Best Answer to Traffic ProblemB. The Banning of Cars in the City CenterC. The Formation of City CenterD. Searching for Ways to Solve Traffic ProblemPassage 4Mrs. Cox teaches English in a large high school located in the inner area of a big city on the West Coast. Ever since she was a young girl，Mrs. Cox had wanted to become a teacher. She has taught eight years now and hasn’t changed her mind.After she graduated from high school，Mrs. Cox went on to college. Four years later，she received her bachelor’s degree (B.A.) in English and her teaching certificate. Then she was qualified to teach in the secondary schools of her state. In the summers，Mrs. Cox takes more classes. Someday she hopes to get a master’s degree (M.A.).With an M.A.，she will receive a higher salary.The school day at Mrs. Cox’s high school，like that in many high schools in the United States，is divided into six periods of one hour each. Mrs. Cox must teach five of these six periods. During her free period，which for her is from 2 to 3 p.m.，Mrs. Cox must meet with parents，order supplies，make out examinations，check assignments，and take care of many other things. In short，her free period isn’t really free at all. Mrs. Cox works steadily from the time she arrives at school in the morning until the time she leaves for home late in the afternoon.66. Mrs. Cox wants to be a teacher because_______.A. she likes teachingB. she is a young girlC. she has many problems to deal withD. she doesn’t mind what she is doing67. From paragraph two，we can infer_______.A. Mrs. Cox has received a teaching certificateB. Mrs. Cox likes teaching very muchC. Mrs. Cox takes more classesD. Mrs. Cox is a qualified teacher68. She will receive a higher salary if_______.A. she gets a master’s degreeB. she takes more classesC. she has studies normal teachingD. she gets a bachelor’s degree69.

Mrs. Cox Has Got Her Teaching CertificatePart Ⅳ Translation (2.5×8 points)Section ADirections：There are 4 sentences in this section.

We had not suffered much from the war there. But both at home and at school I had be-come accustomed to the phrases " before the war" and "when the war' s over". 'Before the war" .apparently. things had been better, though I was too young to understand why, except that there had been no bombs then, and people had eaten things like ice-cream and bananas. which I had only heard of. When the war was over we would go back to London. but this meant 1iide to me. I did not remember what London was like.What I remember now about VE (Victory in Europe) Day was the May evening. After dinner I said I wanted to see the bonfire (大火堆) . so when it got dark my father took me to the end of the street. The bonfire was ver7 high. and somehow people had collected some old clothes to dress the unmistakable figure with the moustache (胡子) they had to put on top of it. Just as we arrived. They set light to it. The flames rose and soon swallowed the "guy". Everyone was cheering and shouting, and an old woman came out of her house with two chairs and threw them on the fire to keep it going. I stood beside my father until the fire started to go down. not knowing what to say. He said nothing, either. He had fought in the First World War and may have been remembering the end of that. At last he said. "Well. that' s it. son. Let' s hope that this time it really will be the last one. "66.Where did the author live before the Second World War? _,A. In London.B.

IL has very little oxygen and water; the temperature at night is below -50'C and winds of 100 miles per hour cause severe dust storms. However . the surface of the planet seems to show that water flowed across it some time in the past, and it is believed that there ia enough ice at the poles to cover the planet with water if it melts. Although there is no life on the Mars now, some scientists think that there may have been some form of life long time ago. At that time, the planet had active volcanoes; the atmosphere was thicker and warmer; and there was water. In fact, in some ways the Mars may have been similar to the Earth, where life exists.Some people believe that the Mars could support 1ife in the future if the right conditions were produced. The first step would be to warm the planet using certain gases which trap the Sun's heat in the planet's atmosphere. With warmth, water and carbon dioxide (二氧化碳) , simple plants could begin to grow. These plants could slowly make the Mars more suitable for living. it is estimated that the whole process might take between 100,000 and 200,000 years. In the meantime. people could been to live on the planet in special closed environments. They would provide a lot of useful information about conditions on the Mars and the problems connected with 1iving there.71. Some scientists think there may have been life on the Mars in the past because _ .A. there is no life there nowB. there is a large amount of water at the polesC. the Mars may be able LO support life in the futureD. conditions may have been similar to those on the Earth72.

The Possibility of Life on the MarsB. Future Conditions on the MarsC. The Mars and the EarthD. A Study of the Climate of the MarsPassage FourIt is physically impossible for a well-educated intellectual. or a brave man to make money the chief object of his thoughts ; as physically impossible as it is for him to make his dinner the principal object of them. All healthy people like their dinner, but their dinner is not the main object of their lives. So all healthy-minded people like making money-ought to like it and to enjoy the satisfaction of winning it; but the main object of their lives is not money; it is something betterthan money.A good soldier, for instance, mainly wishes to do his fighting well. He is glad of his pay-very properly so, and just complains when you keep him ten months without it; still. his main opinion of life is to win battles, not to be paid for winning them.So of doctors They like fee9 no doubt-ought to like them; yet if they are brave and well educated. the entire object of their lives is not fees. They would rather cure their patient and lose their fees than kill him and get it. And so with all other brave and rightly trained men ; their work is first, their fees second, very important always. but still second.76. The main idea of this passage is that______ .A. money matters more than workB. money is not necessary at allC. money is as important as workD. money comes second to work in importance77.

He has proved that everyone has a daily energy cycle.During the hours when you labour through your work you may say that you’re “hot”. That’s true. The time of day when you feel most e nergetic is when your cycle of body temperature is at its peak. For some people the peak comes during the forenoon. For others it comes in the afternoon or evening. No one has discovered why this is so, but it leads to such familiar monologues (自言自语) as: “Get up, John! Y ou’ll be late for work again!” The possible explanation to the trouble is that John is at his temperature-and-energy peak in the evening. Much family quarrelling ends when husbands and wives realize what these energy cycles mean, and which cycle each member of the family has.You can’t change your energy cycle, but you can learn to make your life it better. Habit can help, Dr. Kleitman believes. Maybe you’re sleepy in the evening but feel you must stay up late anyway. Counteract (对抗) your cycle to some extent by habitually staying up later than you want to. If your energy is low in the morning but you have animportant job to do early in the day, rise before your usual hour. This won’t change your cycle, but you’ll get up steam (鼓起干劲) and work better at your low point.Get off to a slow start which saves your energy. Get with a leisurely yawl and stretch. Sit on the edge of the bed a minute before putting your feet on the floor. Avoid the trouble some search for clean clothes by laying them out the night before. When ever possible, do routine work in the afternoon and save tasks requiring more energy or concentration for your sharper hours.76. If a person finds getting up early a problem, most probably _______.A.he is a lazy personB.he refuses to follow his own energy cycleC.he is not sure when his energy is lowD.he is at his peak in the afternoon or evening77. Which of the following may lead to family quarrels according to the passage?A. Unawareness of energy cycles.B. Familiar monologues.C.
