Each passage is followed by some questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A), B), C) and D). You should decide on the best choice.Passage OneQuestions 31 to 35 are based on the following passage.Pronouncing a language is a skill. Every normal person is expert in the skill of pronouncing his own language; but few people are even moderately proficient in pronouncing foreign languages. Now there are many reasons for this, some obvious, some perhaps not so obvious. But I suggest that the fundamental reason why people in general do not speak foreign languages much better than they do is that they fail to grasp the true nature of the problem of learning to pronounce, and consequently never set about tackling it in the right way. Far too many people fail to realize that pronouncing a foreign language is a skill — one that needs careful training of a special kind, and one that cannot be acquired by just leaving it to take care of itself. I think even teachers of language, while recognizing the importance of good accent, tend to neglect, in their practical teaching, the branch of study concerned with speaking the language. So the first point I want to make is that English pronunciation must be taught; the teacher should be prepared to devote some of the lesson time to this, and his whole attitude to the subject should get the student to feel that there is a matter worthy of receiving his close attention. So, there should be occasions when other aspects of English, such as grammar or spelling, are allowed for the moment to take second place.Apart from the question of the time given to pronunciation, there are two other requirements for the teacher: the first, knowledge; the second, technique.It is important that the teacher should be in possession of the necessary information. This can generally be obtained from books. It is possible to get from books some ideas of the mechanics of speech, and of what we call general phonetic theory. It is also possible in this way to get a clear mental picture of the relationship between the sounds of different languages, between the speech habits of English people and those, say, of your students. Unless the teacher has such a picture, any comments he makes on his students' pronunciation are unlikely to be of much use, and lesson time spent on pronunciation may well be time wasted.31.What does the author actually say about pronouncing foreign languages?A) There aren't many people who are even fairly good at it.B) Only a few people are really proficient.C) No one is really an expert in the skill.D) There are even some people who are moderately proficient.正确答案:C32.The author argues that going about the problem of pronunciation in the wrong way is __________.A) an obvious cause of not grasping the problem correctlyB) a consequence of not grasping the problem correctlyC) a fundamental consequence of not speaking wellD) not an obvious cause of speaking poorly正确答案:C33.The best way of learning to speak a foreign language, the author suggests, is by ___________.A) picking it up naturally as a childB) learning from a native speakerC) undertaking systematic workD) not concentrating on pronunciation much正确答案:C34.The value the student puts on correct speech habits depends on _________.A) how closely he attends to the matterB) whether it is English that is being taughtC) his teacher's approach to pronunciationD) the importance normally given to grammar and spelling正确答案:C35.How might the teacher find himself wasting lesson time?A) By making ill-informed comments upon pronunciation.B) By spending lesson time on pronunciation.C) By not using books on phonetics in the classroom.D) By not giving students a clear mental picture of the differences between sounds.正确答案:DPassage TwoQuestions 36 to 40 are based on the following passage.In the world of entertainment, TV talk shows have undoubtedly flooded every inch of space on daytime television. And anyone who watches them regularly knows that each one varies in style and format. But no two shows are more profoundly opposite in content, while at the same time standing out above the rest, than the Jerry Springer and the Oprah Winfrey shows. Jerry Springer could easily be considered the king of "trash talk (废话)". The topics on his show are as shocking as shocking can be. For example, the show takes the ever-common talk show themes of love, sex, cheating, guilt, hate, conflict and morality to a different level. Clearly, the Jerry Springer show is a display and exploitation of society's moral catastrophes (灾难), yet people are willing to eat up the intriguing predicaments (困境) of other people's lives. Like Jerry Springer, Oprah Winfrey takes TV talk show to its extreme, but Oprah goes in the opposite direction. The show focuses on the improvement of society and an individual's quality of life. Topics range from teaching your children responsibility, managing your work week, to getting to know your neighbors.Compared to Oprah, the Jerry Springer show looks like poisonous waste being dumped on society. Jerry ends every show with a "final word". He makes a small speech that sums up the entire moral of the show. Hopefully, this is the part where most people will learn something very valuable.Clean as it is, the Oprah show is not for everyone. The show's main target audience are middle-class Americans. Most of these people have the time, money, and stability to deal with life's tougher problems. Jerry Springer, on the other hand, has more of an association with the young adults of society. These are 18- to 21-year-olds whose main troubles in life involve love, relationship, sex, money and peers. They are the ones who see some value and lessons to be learned underneath the show's exploitation.While the two shows are as different as night and day, both have ruled the talk show circuit for many years now. Each one caters to a different audience while both have a strong following from large groups of fans. Ironically, both could also be considered pioneers in the talk show world.36.Compared with other TV talk shows, both the Jerry Springer and the Oprah Winfrey are __________.A) more family-orientedB) unusually popularC) more profoundD) relatively formal正确答案:C37.Though the social problems Jerry Springer talks about appear distasteful, the audience __________.A) remain fascinated by themB) are ready to face up to themC) remain indifferent to themD) are willing to get involved in them正确答案:A38.Which of the following is likely to be a topic of the Oprah Winfrey show?A) A new type of robot.B) Racist hatred.C) Family budget planning.D) Street violence.正确答案:C39.Despite their differences, the two talk shows are both _________.A) ironicalB) sensitiveC) instructiveD) cynical正确答案:B40.We can learn from the passage that the two talk shows ____________.A) have monopolized the talk show circuitB) exploit the weaknesses in human natureC) appear at different times of the dayD) are targeted at different audiences正确答案:DPart III Vocabulary and Structure ( 10 minutes )Directions: There are a number of incomplete sentences in this part. For each sentence there are four choices marked A), B), C) and D). Choose the ONE that best completes the sentence.41.He ________ his life to the service of his country.A) devoteB) contributedC) attributedD) dedicated正确答案:D42.She ________ the boy with $10 for his help.A) awardedB) rewardedC) praisedD) donated正确答案:B43.Students or teachers can participate in excursions to lovely beaches around the island at regular ________.A) gapsB) rateC) lengthD) intervals正确答案:D44.A ______ from every person, no matter how small, will help the Red Cross reachthe goal of $100,000.A) contractB) contributionC) concentrationD) construction正确答案:B45.His tastes and habits ______ with those of his wife.A) agreeB) coincideC) correspondD) match正确答案:B46.The new magazine will be directed at a more ______ circulation.A) countlessB) economicalC) well-offD) affluent正确答案:D47.Darwin believed that modern men and apes have both been ______ from the same ancestor.A) extendedB) preservedC) descendedD) transformed正确答案:C48.Those who survived the 5·12 Earthquake ______ their new life and are determined to work harder than ever before.A) energizeB) retakeC) cherishD) fabricate正确答案:C49.She ______ all her life to the welfare of women and children.A) presentedB) dedicatedC) contributedD) recommended正确答案:B50.The doctors came to the conclusion that the patient's blindness was ______.A) contemporaryB) consistentC) temperateD) temporary正确答案:D51.The old carpet stands up the ______ of continual use.A) finger-tippedB) wear and tearC) full-timeD) back-to-basics正确答案:B52.Despite the _________ economic forecasts, manufacturing output has risen slightly.A) gloomyB) miserableC) shadowyD) obscure正确答案:A53.Chaucer has been called the Father of English Poetry by _______ generations.A) aggressiveB) progressiveC) successiveD) comprehensive正确答案:C54.They believed that this was not the _________ of their campaign for equality but merely the beginning.A) climaxB) summitC) pitchD) maximum正确答案:A55.The trumpet player was certainly playing loud.

Each passage is followed by some questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A), B), C) and D). You should decide on the best choice.Passage OneQuestions 31 to 35 are based on the following passage.Holidays usually help us remember what irritates us most about family.The husband who waits until the last minute to shop. The children who poison cherished family time with bad tempers. The sister-in-law who criticizes the father who complains.This is also the time of year when we are together with people with whom we have long-time conflicts. The black mood that spoils holiday gatherings is a result of having three or four generations under one roof. There is tremendous conflict of values, and you can't negotiate values.The result: Everybody gets their hot buttons pushed, and emotions explode.These hot buttons have familiar labels.— Minimizing: "It's not that big a deal."— Degrading: "You are just a kid; what do you know?"— Blaming: "You always — "— Comparing: "You are just your father."— Judging: "That's the silliest idea I ever heard."— Name-calling: "You are being ridiculous."— And dictating: "I know better. Do it my way."These are the top 10 hot buttons, and during the holidays they get pushed over and over. You even know who is going to say what and when.Nobody wants a blow-up on a holiday, so we ignore and ignore. But those disagreements stay with us and things become worse at the next family gathering.Here are ways to diffuse these emotional moments.Acknowledge the intentions of the speaker: "I know you mean well."Say how you feel. "It hurts me when you make fun of my work."Or give the speaker a face-saving option: "If you are worried that I am not cooking enough food, why don't you bring one of your favorite dishes."Most of the communication is in body language and tone of voice. You need to say it in an open, warm and caring way.Don't expect every disagreement to be resolved. Sometimes you justneed to say, "Let's talk about this again later." You are not giving up or giving in. you are keeping your dignity and moving on.31.What is the cause of the black mood during family gatherings?A) People have bad-tempered children.B) People live with mean sister-in-law.C) People have been together with old people.D) People have different ideas about lives.正确答案:D32.What does "hot button" mean in the passage?A) Something used as a switch.B) Something causing disputes.C) Something arousing anger.D) Something with a high temperature.正确答案:B33.When one wants to command others, he will begin with ______.A) "It's not that big a deal."B) "You are just a kid; what do you know?"C) "That's the silliest idea I ever heard."D) "I know better. Do it my way."正确答案:D34.Which one is NOT a way to ease a family conflict, according to the author?A) To tell your feeling directly to your family members.B) To admit the good will of your family members.C) To hide your dissatisfaction with a smile.D) To give your family members a chance to avoid embarrassment.正确答案:C35.What is the author's opinion of family conflicts?A) It is difficult to deal with family conflicts.B) Family conflicts can not be resolved.C) It needs compromises to avoid family conflicts.D) Family conflicts can be ignored.正确答案:CPassage TwoQuestions 36 to 40 are based on the following passage.When I was in 7th grade, I had a lot of trouble reading. My mother used to sit by my side, and explain each paragraph of each school reading assignment to me because I didn't understand what I was reading. She would have to read each paragraph to me, and then after each paragraph, she summarized what we just read.In class, I tried to hide the fact that I couldn't read. My teachers gave us the last 10 minutes of class to start our reading homework, and I would sit there for the last ten minutes of class staring at the page, pretending I was reading it — I remember a terrible feeling of not wanting to get in trouble for not being able to comprehend. I had to wait until I got home so my mother could explain it to me. How did I ever get into Cornell University? By eighth grade I started understanding a little on my own, but I was reading at an incredibly slow rate. In eighth grade, I got hold of all the speed reading books I could get my hands on. I read them all very slowly at the time. I even went out and took a course on speed reading. Then I developed my own system which was easier and produced quicker results. I started practicing these techniques every day, and as I started to read faster, my understanding increased. I found that I stopped daydreaming and thinking about other things while I was reading, and started getting the larger meaning. I was reading faster and comprehending better.I found that when you read slowly, word by word, you get lost in the words, lose the bigger picture, and your comprehension drops. When you read faster, your concentration actually increases and your comprehension goes up because instead of getting lost in the words, you see the overall picture.36.The main difficulty the writer had in reading in her 7th grade was that _____.A) she often forgot her school reading assignmentsB) she had difficulty reading with comprehensionC) she had a poor vocabulary and very bad grammarD) she always looked elsewhere when asked to read正确答案:B37.The writer would pretend to be reading in the last 10 minutes of class because______.A) she was afraid of being found outB) the reading class was terribleC) she had to do what others were doingD) her mother told her to do so正确答案:A38.The writer's reading ability improved a great deal mainly because _____.A) she entered Cornell UniversityB) she took a course on speed readingC) her mother managed to help her outD) she developed her own way of reading正确答案:D39.From her own experience, the writer found that ________.A) one's comprehension drops if one reads too slowlyB) in order to understand better, one has to read slowlyC) one tends to neglect the detailed information if one reads fastD) many people read fast in order to save time正确答案:A40.After reading the passage, we can conclude that the writer wrote the passage in order to_______.A) convince the readers of the importance of higher educationB) tell a story in honor of her motherC) give a detailed description of different reading skillsD) illustrate the necessity of fast reading正确答案:DPart III Vocabulary and Structure ( 10 minutes )Directions: There are a number of incomplete sentences in this part.

Walkman is 25 because it isn't even English. 26 , it was invented by the Japanese 27 who put two simple English words together to name their product. That doesn't bother us, but it does bother the French. Such is the 28 messiness of English. That happy 29 that willingness to accept
French, for example, has only about 75,000 words, and that includes English expressions like snack bar and hit parade. The French, however, do not like borrowing foreign words because they think it 23 their language. The government tries to ban words from English and declares that Walkman is not 24 ; so they invent a word, balladeur, which French kids are supposed to say instead — but they don't.

Each passage is followed by some questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A), B), C) and D). You should decide on the best choice.Passage OneQuestions 31 to 35 are based on the following passage.Pronouncing a language is a skill. Every normal person is expert in the skill of pronouncing his own language; but few people are even moderately proficient in pronouncing foreign languages. Now there are many reasons for this, some obvious, some perhaps not so obvious. But I suggest that the fundamental reason why people in general do not speak foreign languages much better than they do is that they fail to grasp the true nature of the problem of learning to pronounce, and consequently never set about tackling it in the right way. Far too many people fail to realize that pronouncing a foreign language is a skill —one that needs careful training of a special kind, and one that cannot be acquired by just leaving it to take care of itself. I think even teachers of language, while recognizing the importance of good accent, tend to neglect, in their practical teaching, the branch of study concerned with speaking the language. So the first point I want to make is that English pronunciation must be taught; the teacher should be prepared to devote some of the lesson time to this, and his whole attitude to the subject should get the student to feel that there is a matter worthy of receiving his close attention. So, there should be occasions when other aspects of English, such as grammar or spelling, are allowed for the moment to take second place.Apart from the question of the time given to pronunciation, there are two other requirements for the teacher: the first, knowledge; the second, technique.It is important that the teacher should be in possession of the necessary information. This can generally be obtained from books. It is possible to get from books some ideas of the mechanics of speech, and of what we call general phonetic theory. It is also possible in this way to get a clear mental picture of the relationship between the sounds of different languages, between the speech habits of English people and those, say, of your students. Unless the teacher has such a picture, any comments he makes on his students' pronunciation are unlikely to be of much use, and lesson time spent on pronunciation may well be time wasted.31.What does the author actually say about pronouncing foreign languages?A)There aren't many people who are even fairly good at it.B)Only a few people are really proficient.C)No one is really an expert in the skill.D)There are even some people who are moderately proficient.正确答案: C32.The author argues that going about the problem of pronunciation in the wrong way is __________ .A)an obvious cause of not grasping the problem correctlyB) a consequence of not grasping the problem correctlyC) a fundamental consequence of not speaking wellD)not an obvious cause of speaking poorly正确答案: C33.The best way of learning to speak a foreign language, the author suggests, is byA)picking it up naturally as a childB)learning from a native speakerC)undertaking systematic workD)not concentrating on pronunciation much正确答案: C 34.The value the student puts on correct speech habits depends on _______A)how closely he attends to the matterB)whether it is English that is being taughtC)his teacher's approach to pronunciationD)the importance normally given to grammar and spelling 正确答案: C35.How might the teacher find himself wasting lesson time?A)By making ill-informed comments upon pronunciation.B)By spending lesson time on pronunciation.C)By not using books on phonetics in the classroom.D)By not giving students a clear mental picture of the differences betweensounds.正确答案: DPassage Two Questions 36 to 40 are based on the following passage.In the world of entertainment, TV talk shows have undoubtedly flooded every inch of space on daytime television. And anyone who watches them regularly knows that each one varies in style and format. But no two shows are more profoundly opposite in content, while at the same time standing out above the rest, than the Jerry Springer and the Oprah Winfrey shows. Jerry Springer could easily be considered the king of "trash talk (废话)". The topics on his show are as shocking as shocking can be. For example, the show takes the ever-common talk show themes of love, sex, cheating, guilt, hate, conflict and morality to a different level. Clearly, the Jerry Springer show is a display and exploitation of society's moral catastrophes (灾难), yet people are willing to eat up the intriguing predicaments (困境) of other people's lives. Like Jerry Springer, Oprah Winfrey takes TV talk show to its extreme, but Oprah goes in the opposite direction. The show focuses on the improvement of society and an individual's quality of life. Topics range from teaching your children responsibility, managing your work week, to getting to know your neighbors.Compared to Oprah, the Jerry Springer show looks like poisonous waste being dumped on society. Jerry ends every show with a "final word". He makes a small speech that sums up the entire moral of the show. Hopefully, this is the part where most people will learn something very valuable.Clean as it is, the Oprah show is not for everyone. The show's main target audience are middle-class Americans. Most of these people have the time, money, and stability to deal with life's tougher problems. Jerry Springer, on the other hand, has more of an association with the young adults of society. These are 18- to 21-year-olds whose main troubles in life involve love, relationship, sex, money and peers. They are the ones who see some value and lessons to be learned underneath the show's exploitation.While the two shows are as different as night and day, both have ruled the talk show circuit for many years now. Each one caters to a different audience while both have a strong following from large groups of fans. Ironically, both could also be considered pioneers in the talk show world.36.Compared with other TV talk shows, both the Jerry Springer and the Oprah Winfrey are _________ .A)more family-orientedB)unusually popularC)more profoundD)relatively formal正确答案: C37.Though the social problems Jerry Springer talks about appear distasteful, the audience ___________ .A)remain fascinated by themB)are ready to face up to themC)remain indifferent to themD)are willing to get involved in them正确答案: A38.Which of the following is likely to be a topic of the Oprah Winfrey show?A) A new type of robot.B)Racist hatred.C)Family budget planning.D)Street violence.正确答案: C39.Despite their differences, the two talk shows are both ____ .A)ironicalB)sensitiveC)instructiveD)cynical正确答案: B40.We can learn from the passage that the two talk shows __________ .A)have monopolized the talk show circuitB)exploit the weaknesses in human natureC)appear at different times of the dayD)are targeted at different audiences正确答案: DPart III Vocabulary and Structure ( 10 minutes )Directions: There are a number of incomplete sentences in this part.

Each choice in the bank is identified by a letter. You may not use any of the words in the bank more than once.The tolerance for change also represents deeply rooted ideas of freedom. Danish scholar Otto Jespersen wrote in 1905, "The English language would not have been what it is if the English had not been for centuries great respecters of the 21 of each individual and if everybody had not been free to 22 new paths for himself."I like that idea.

Each p assage is followed by some questi ons or unfini shed stateme nts. For each of them there are four choices marked A), B), C) and D). You should decide on the best choice.Passage OneQuesti ons 31 to 35 are based on the followi ng p assage.Whe n a con sumer finds that an item she or he bought is faulty orin some other way does not live up to the manufacturer's claim, the first step is to p rese nt the warra nty (保单),or any other records which might help, at the store of purchase. In most cases, this action will produce results. However, if it does not, there are various means the con sumer may use to gain satisfact ion.A simp le and com mon method used by many con sumers is to complain directly to the store man ager. I n gen eral, the "higher up" the con sumer takes his or her complaint, the faster he or she can expect it to be settled. In such a case, it is usually settled in the con sumer's favor, assu ming he or she has a just claim.Con sumers should complain in person whe never p ossible, but if they cannot get to the p lace of pu rchase, it is acce ptable to phone or write the complaint in a letter.Complaining is usually most effective when it is done politely but firmly, and esp ecially whe n the con sumer can dem on strate what is wrong with the item in question. If this cannot be done, the consumer will succeed best by p rese nting sp ecific in formati on as to what is wrong, rather tha n by making gen eral statements. For example, "The left speaker does not work at all and the sound coming out of the right one is un clear" is better tha n "This stereo does not work."The store manager may advise the consumer to write to the manu facturer. If so, the con sumer should do this, stati ng the complaint as po litely and as firmly as po ssible. But if a po lite complaint does not achieve the desired result, the con sumer can go a ste p further. She or he can threate n to take the seller to court or report the seller to a private or public organization responsible for protecting con sumers' rights.31.Whe n a con sumer finds that his or her in it, the first thing he or she should do is to .A)comp lai n person ally to the man agerB)threate n to take the seller to courtC)write a firm letter of complaint to the store of pu rchaseD)show some writte n proof of the pu rchase to the store正确答案:D32.How can a con sumer make his or her complaint more effective, accord ing to the passage?A)Exp lai n exactly what is wrong with the item.B)Threate n to take the seller to court.C)Make po lite and gen eral stateme nts about the p roblem.D)Avoid hav ing direct con tact with the store man ager.正确答案:A33.According to the passage, which of the following is suggested as the last alter native that con sumers may turn to?A)Comp la in to the store man ager in person.B)Comp la in to the manu facturer.C)Write a complaint letter to the man ager.D)Turn to the Con sumers ' Rights P rotect ion Orga ni zati on for help.正确答案:D34.The p hrase "live up to" (in P ara.1) in this con text meansA)meet ing the sta ndard ofB)realiz ing the purpose ofC)fulfilli ng the dema nds ofD)kee ping the pro mise of正确答案:A35.The p assage tells us __ .A)how to settle a con sumer' s complaint about a faulty itemB)how to make an effective complaint about a faulty itemC)how to avoid buying a faulty itemD)how to deal with comp la in ts from customers正确答案:BP assage TwoQuestions 36 to 40 are based on the following passage.If you ask people to name one person who had the greatest effect onthe English language, you will get answers like "Shakespeare", "Samuel Johnson" and "Webster" but none of these men had any effect at all compared with a man who didn't even speak English — William the Conqueror.Before 1066, in the land we now call Great Britain lived peoplebelonging to two major language groups. In the west-central region lived theWelsh, who spoke a Celtic language, and in north lived the Scots, whose language, though not the same as Welsh, was also Celtic. In the rest of the country lived the Saxons, actually a mixture of Anglos-Saxons,and other Germanic and Nordicpeoples, who spoke what we call Anglo-Saxon (or Old English), a Germanic Language. If this state of affairs had lasted, English today would be close to German.But this state of affairs did not last. In 1066 the Normans led byWilliam defeated the Saxons and began their rule over England. For about acentury, French became the official language of England while Old English became the language of peasants. As a result, English words of politics and the law come from French rather than German. In some cases, modern English even shows adistinction between upper-class French and lower-class Anglo-Saxon in its words. We even have different words for some foods, meat in particular, depending on whether it is still out in fields or at home ready to be cooked, which shows the fact that the Saxon peasants were doing the farming, while the upper-class Normans were doing most of the eating.When Americans visit Europe for the first time, they usually findGermany more "foreign" than France because the German they see on signs and advertisements seems much more different from English than French does. Fewrealize that the English language is actually Germanic in its beginning and that the French influences are all the result of one man's ambition.36.正确答案: D37.The two major languages spoken in what is now called Great Britain before 1066 were .
