This spacious room is ________ furnished with just a few articles in it.A. lightlyB. sparselyC. hardlyD. rarelyTEXT BPredicting the future is always risky. But it’s probably safe to say that at least a few historians will one day speak of the 20th century as America’s “ Disney era ” . Today, it’s certainly difficult to think of any other single thing that represents modern America as powerfully as the company that created Mickey Mouse. Globally, brands like Coca-Cola and McDonalds may be more widely-known, but neither encapsulates 20th-century America in quite the same way as Disney.The reasons for Disney’s success are varied and numerous, but ultimately the credit belongsto one person —the man who created the cartoon and built the company from nothing, Walt Disney. Ironically, he could not draw particularly well. But he was a genius in plenty of other respects. In business, his greatest skills were his insight and his management ability. After setting himself up in Hollywood, he single-handedly pioneered the concepts of branding and merchandising — something his company still does brilliantly today.But what really distinguished Disney was his ability to identify with his audiences. Disney always made sure his films championed the “ little guy ” , and made him feel proud to be American. This he achieved by creating characters that reflected the hopes and fears of ordinary people. Some celebrated American achievements —Disney’s very first cartoon Plane Crazy, featuring a silent Mickey Mouse, was inspired by Charles Lindbergh’s flight across the Atlantic. Others, like the There Little Pigs and Snow White and the Seven Dwarves, showed how, through hard work and helping one’s fellow man, or Americans could survive social and economic crises like the Great Depression.Disney’s other great virtue was the fact that his company — unlike other big corporations —had a human face. His Hollywood studio — the public heard — operated just like a democracy, where everyone was on firstname terms and had a say in how things should be run. He was also regarded as a great patriot because not only did his cartoons celebrate America, but, during World War II, studios made training films for American soldiers.The reality, of course, was less idyllic. As the public would later learn, Disney’s patriotism had an unpleasant side. After a strike by cartoonists in 1941, he became convinced that Hollywood had been infiltrated by Communists. He agreed to work for the FBI as a mole, identifying and spying on colleagues whom he suspected were subversives.But, apart from his affiliations with the FBI, Disney was more or less the genuine article. A new book, The Magic Kingdom; Walt Disney and the American Way of Life, by Steven Watts, confirms that he was very definitely on the side of ordinary Americans — in the 30s and 40s he voted for Franklin Roosevelt, believing he was a champion of the workers. Also, Disney was not an apologist for the FBI, as some have suggested. In fact, he was always suspicious of large, bureaucratic organizations, as is evidenced in films like That Darned Cat, in which he portrayed FBI agents as bungling incompetents.By the time he died in 1966, Walt Disney was an icon like Thomas Edison and the Wright as “ Uncle Walt ”— the man who had entertained them all their lives, the man who represented them all their lives, the man who represented all that was good about America.86. Walt Disney is believed to possess the following abilities EXCEPTA. painting.B. creativiteC. management.D. merchandising.87. According to the passage, what was the pleasant side of Disney’s patriotism?A. He sided with ordinary Americans in his films.B. He supported America’s war efforts in his own way.C. He had doubts about large, bureaucratic organizations.D. He voted for Franklin Roosevelt in the 30s and 40s.88. In the sixth paragraph the sentence “Disney was more or less the genuine article” means thatA. Disney was a creative and capable person.B. Disney once agreed to work for the FBI.C. Disney ran his company in a democratic way.D. Disney was sympathetic with ordinary people.89. The writer’s attitude toward Walt Disney can best be described asA. sympathetic.B. objective.C. critical.D. skeptical.SECTION A COMPOSITION[35 MIN]The students’ Union of your university is planning to hold an arts festival next semester, and they are inviting students to contribute their ideas and suggestions as to how it should be organized or what should be included.Write on ANSWER SHEET TWO a composition of about 200 words on the following topic:MY IDEA OF A UNIVERSITY ARTS FESTIV ALYou are to write in three parts.In the first part, state specifically what your idea is.In the second part, provide one or two reasons to support your idea OR describe your idea.

But it ' s probably safe to say that atleast a few historians will one day speak of the 20th century as America ' s “ Disney era ” . Today, it ' s certainly difficult to think of any other single thing that represe nts moder n America as powerfully as the compa ny that created Mickey Mouse.Globally, brands like Coca-Cola and McDonalds may be more widely-known, but neitheren capsulates 20th-ce ntury America in quite the same way as Disn ey.The reasons for Disney ' s success are varied and numerous, but ultimately the credit bel ongs to one pers on ——the man who created the carto on and built the compa nyfrom nothing, Walt Disney. Ironically, he could not draw particularly well. But he was a gen ius in ple nty of other respects. In bus in ess, his greatest skills were his in sightand his management ability. After setting himself up in Hollywood, he single-handedly pioneered the concepts of branding and merchandising —something his company still doesbrillia ntly today.But what really disti nguished Disney was his ability to ide ntify with hisaudiences. Disney always made sure his films championed the “ little guy ” , and madehim feel proud to be American. This he achieved by creating characters that reflected the hopes and fears of ord inary people. Some celebrated America n achieveme nts —Disney' s very first carto on Pla ne Crazy, featuri ng a sile nt Mickey Mouse, was in spiredby Charles Lindbergh ' s flight across the Atlantic. Others, like the There Little Pigsand Snow White and the Seven Dwarves, showed how, through hard work and helping one ' s fellow man, or America ns could survive social and econo mic crises like the GreatDepressi on.Disney ' s other great virtue was the fact that his company —unlike other big corporations —had a human face. His Hollywood studio —the public heard —operated just like a democracy, where every one was on first name terms and had a say in how thi ngs should be run. He was also regarded as a greatpatriot because not only did his cartoonscelebrate America, but, during World War II, studios made training films for American soldiers.The reality, of course, was less idyllic. As the public would later learn,Disney ' s patriotism had an unpleasant side. After a strike by cartoonists in 1941, he became convin ced that Hollywood had bee n in filtrated by Commu ni sts. He agreed to work for the FBI as a mole, ide ntify ing and spy ing on colleagues whom he suspected were subversives.But, apart from his affiliations with the FBI, Disney was more or less thegenuine article. A new book, The Magic Kingdom; Walt Disney and the American Wayof Life, by Steve n Watts, con firms that he was very defi nitely on the side of ordinary America ns—in the 30s and 40s he voted for Fran kli n Roosevelt, believ ing he was a champi on of the workers. Also, Disney was not an apologist for the FBI, as some have suggested. In fact, he was always suspicious of large, bureaucratic orga ni zati ons, as is evide need in films like That Darned Cat, in which he portrayed FBI age nts as bun gli ng in compete nts.By the time he died in 1966, Walt Dis ney was an icon like Thomas Edis on andthe Wright Brothers. To bus in ess people and filmmakers, he was a role model; to the publicat large, he was “ Un cle Walt " — the man who had en terta ined them all their lives, the man who represented them all their lives, the man who represented all that was goodabout America.86. Walt Disney is believed to possess the following abilities EXCEPTA. pain ti ng.B. creativityC. man ageme nt.D. mercha ndis ing.87. According to the passage, what was the pleasant side of Disney 's patriotism?A. He sided with ordinary America ns in his films.B. He supported America ' s war efforts in his own way.C. He had doubts about large, bureaucratic orga ni zati ons.D. He voted for Franklin Roosevelt in the 30s and 40s.88. In the sixth paragraph the sentence “ Disney was more or less the genuinearticle ” means thatA. Disney was a creative and capable pers on.B. Disney once agreed to work for the FBI.C. Disney ran his compa ny in a democratic way.D. Disney was sympathetic with ord inary people.89.

President Bush certainly thinks so. He has argued that tapping ANWR’s oil would help ease California’s electricity crisis and provide a major boost to the co untry’s energy independence. But no one knows for sure how much crude oil lies buried beneath the frozen earth with the last government survey, conducted in 1998, projecting output anywhere from 3 billion to 16 billion barrels.The oil industry goes with the high end of the range, which could equal as much as 10% of U.S. consumption for as long as six years. By pumping more than 1 million barrels a day from the reserve for the next two three decades, lobbyists claim, the nation could cut back on imports equivalent to all shipments to the U.S. from Saudi Arabia. Sounds good. An oil boom would also mean a multibillion-dollar windfall (意外之财) in tax revenues, royalties (开采权使用费) and leasing fees for Alaska and the Federal Government. Best of all, advocates of drilling say, damage to the environment would be insignificant. “We’ve never had a document case of oil rig chasing deer out onto the pack ice.〞says Alaska State Representative Scott Ogan.Not so far, say environmentalists. Sticking to the low end of government estimates, the National Resources Defense Council says there may be no more than 3.2 billion barrels of economically recoverable oil in the coastal plain of ANWR, a drop in the bucket that would do virtually nothing to ease America’s energy problems. A nd consumers would wait up to a decade to gain any benefits, because drilling could begin only after much bargaining over leases, environmental permits and regulatory review. As for ANWR’s impact on the California power crisis, environmentalists point out that oil is responsible for only 1% of the Golden State’s electricity output—and just 3% of the nation’s.21. What does President Bush think of tapping oil in ANWR?A) It will exhaust the nation’s oil reserves.B) It will help secure the future of ANWR.C) It will help reduce the nation’s oil imports.D) It will increase America’s energy consumption.22. We learn from the second paragraph that the American oil industry ________.A) believes that drilling for oil in ANWR will produce high yieldsB) tends to exaggerate America’s reliance on foreign oilC) shows little interest in tapping oil in ANWRD) expects to stop oil imports from Saudi Arabia23. Those against oil drilling in ANWR argue that ________.A) it can cause serious damage to the environmentB) it can do little to solve U.S. energy problemsC) it will drain the oil reserves in the Alaskan regionD) it will not have much commercial value24. What do the environmentalists mean by saying “Not so fast〞(Line 1, Para. 3)?A) Oil exploitation takes a long timeB) The oil drilling should be delayedC) Don’t be too optimisticD) Don’t expect fast returns仅供参考25. It can be learned from the passage that oil exploitation beneath ANWR’s frozen earth________.A) remains a controversial issueB) is expected to get under way soonC) involves a lot of technological problemsD) will enable the U.S. to be oil independentPassage 2“Tear ‘em apart!〞“Kill the fool!〞“Murder the referee (裁判)!〞These are common remarks one may hear at various sporting events. At the time they are made, they may seem innocent enough. But let’s not kid ourselves. They have been known to influence behavior in such a way as to lead to real bloodshed. Volumes have been written about the way words affect us. It has been shown that words having certain connotations (含义) may cause us to react in ways quite foreign to what we consider to be our usual humanistic behavior. I see the term “opponent〞as one of those words. Perhaps the time has come to delete it from sports terms.The dictionary meaning o f the term “opponent “is “adversary “: “enemy “; “one who opposes your interests.〞“Thus, when a player meets an opponent, he or she may tend to treat that opponent as an enemy. At such times, winning may dominate one’s intellect, and every action, no matter how gross, may be considered justifiable. I recall an incident in a handball game when a referee refused a player’s request for a time out for a glove change because he did not considered then wet enough. The player proceeded to rub his gloves across his wet T-shirt and then exclaimed. “Are they wet enough now?〞In the heat of battle, players have been observed to throw themselves across the court without considering the consequences that such a move might have on anyone in their way. I have also witness ed a player reacting to his opponent’s international and illegal blocking by deliberately hitting him with the ball as hard as he could during the course of play. Off the court, they are good friends. Does that make any sense? It certainly gives proof of a court attitude which departs from normal behavior.Therefore, I believe it is time we elevated (提升) the game to the level where it belongs thereby setting an example to the rest of the sporting world. Replacing the term “opponent〞with “associate〞could be an ideal way to start.The dictionary meaning of the term “associate〞is “colleague〞; “friend〞; “companion.〞Reflect a moment! You may soon see and possibly feel the difference in your reaction to the term “associate〞rather than “opponent.〞26. Which of the following statements best expresses the author’s view?A) Aggressive behavior in sports can have serious consequences.B) The words people use can influence their behavior.C) Unpleasant words in sports are often used by foreign athletes.D) Unfair judgments by referees will lead to violence on the sports field.27. Harsh words are spoken during games because the players ________.A) are too eager to winB) are usually short-tempered and easily offendedC) cannot afford to be polite in fierce competitionD) treat their rivals as enemies28. What did the handball player do when he was not allowed a time out to change his gloves?A) He refused to continue the game.B) He angrily hit the referee with a ball.C) He claimed that the referee was unfair.D) He wet his gloves by rubbing them across his T-shirt.29. According to the passage, players, in a game, may ________.A) deliberately throw the ball at anyone illegally blocking their wayB) keep on screaming and shouting throughout the gameC) lie down on the ground as an act of protestD) kick the ball across the court with force30. The author hopes to have the current situation in sports improved by ________.A) calling on players to use clean language on the courtB) raising the referee’s sense of respon sibilityC) changing the attitude of players on the sports fieldD) regulating the relationship between players and refereesPassage 3Consumers are being confused and misled by the hodge-podge (大杂烩) of environmental claims made by household products, acco rding to a “green labeling〞study published by Consumers International Friday.Among the report’s more outrageous (令人无法容忍的) findings-a German fertilizer described itself as “earthworm friendly〞a brand of flour said it was “non-polluting〞and a British toilet paper claimed to be “environmentally friendlier〞The study was written and researched by Britain’s National Consumer Council (NCC) for lobby group Consumer International. It was funded by the German and Dutch governments and the European Commission.“ While many good and useful claims are being made, it is clear there is a long way to go in ensuring shoppers are adequately informed about the environmental impact of products they buy,〞said Consumers International director Anna Fielder.The 10-country study surveyed product packaging in Britain, Western Europe, Scandinavia and the United States. It found that products sold in Germany and the United Kingdom made the most environmental claims on average.The report focused on claims made by specific products, such as detergent (洗涤剂) insect sprays and by some garden products. It did not test the claims, but compared them to labeling guidelines set by the International Standards Organization (ISO) in September, 1999. Researchers documented claims of environmental friendliness made by about 2,000 products and found many too vague or too misleading to meet ISO standards.“Many products had specially-designed labels to make them seem environmentally friendly, but in fact many of these symbols mean nothing,〞said report researcher Philip Page. “Laundry detergents made the most number of claims with 158. Household cleaners were second with 145 separate claims, while paints were third on our list with 73. The high numbers show how very confusing it must be for consumers to sort the true from the misleading.〞he said.The ISO labeling standards ban vague or misleading claims on product packaging, because terms such as “environmentally friendly〞and “non-polluting〞cannot be verified. “What we仅供参考are now pushing for is to have multinational corporations meet the standards set by the ISO.〞said Page.31. According to the passage, the NCC found it outrageous that ________.A) all the products surveyed claim to meet ISO standardsB) the claims made by products are often unclear or deceivingC) consumers would believe many of the manufactures’ claimD) few products actually prove to be environment friendly32. As indicated in this passage, with so many good claims, the consumers ________.A) are becoming more cautious about the products they are going to buyB) are still not willing to pay more for products with green labelingC) are becoming more aware of the effects different products have on the environmentD) still do not know the exact impact of different products on the environment33. A study was carried out by Britain’s NCC to ________.A) find out how many claims made by products fail to meet environmental standardsB) inform the consumers of the environmental impact of the products they buyC) examine claims made by products against ISO standardsD) revise the guidelines set by the International Standards Organization34. What is one of the consequences caused by the many claims of household products?A) They are likely to lead to serious environmental problems.B) Consumers find it difficult to tell the true from the false.C) They could arouse widespread anger among consumer.D) Consumers will be tempted to buy products they don’t need.35. It can be inferred from the passage that the lobby group Consumer International wants to ________.A) make product labeling satisfy ISO requirementsB) see all household products meet environmental standardsC) warn consumers of the danger of so-called green productsD) verify the efforts of non-polluting productsPassage 4Two hours fr om the tall buildings of Manhattan and Philadelphia live some of the world’s largest black bears. They are in northern Pennsylvania’s Pocono Mountains, a home they share with an abundance of other wildlife.The streams, lakes, meadows (草地), mountain ridges and forests that make the Poconos an ideal place for black bears have also attracted more people to the region. Open spaces are threatened by plans for housing estates and important habitats (栖息地) are endangered by highway construction. To protect the Poconos natural beauty from irresponsible development, the Nature Conservancy (大自然保护协会) named the area one of America’s “Last Great Places〞.Operating out of a century-old schoolhouse in the village of Long Pond, Pennsylvania, the conservancy’s bud Cook is wo rking with local people and business leaders to balance economic growth with environmental protection. By forging partnerships with people like Francis Altemose, the Conservancy has been able to protect more than 14,000 acres of environmentally important land in the area.Altemose’s family has farmed in the Pocono area for generations. Two years ago Francisworked with the Conservancy to include his farm in a county farmland protection program. As a result, his family’s land can be protected from developmen t and the Altemoses will be better able to provide a secure financial future for their 7-year-old grandson.Cook attributes the Conservancy’s success in the Poconos to having a local presence and a commitment to working with local residents“The key to pro tecting these remarkable lands is connecting with the local community,〞Cook said. “The people who live there respect the land. They value quiet forests, clear streams and abundant wildlife. They are eager to help with conservation effort.For more information on how you can help the Nature Conservancy protect the Poconos and the world’s other “Last Great Places,〞please call 1-888-564 6864 or visit us on the World Wide Web at .36. The purpose in naming the Poconos as one of America’s “Last Grea t Places〞is to________.A) gain support from the local communityB) protect it from irresponsible developmentC) make it a better home for black bearsD) provide financial security for future generations37. We learn from the passage that ________.A) the population in the Pocono area is growingB) wildlife in the Pocono area is dying out rapidlyC) the security of the Pocono residents is being threatenedD) farmlands in the Pocono area are shrinking fast38.

Many people believe we are heading for environmental disaster ________ we radically change way we live.A) butB) althoughC) unlessD) lestPart IV Short Answer Questions (15 minutes)We commonly think of sportsmanship in connection with athletic contests, but it also applies to individual outdoor sports. Not everyone who picks up a fishing rod or goes out with a gun is a sportsman. The sportsman first of all obeys the fish and game laws, not because he is liable to be punished as a violator, but because he knows that in the main these laws are made for his best interests.The following are some of the things that those who would qualify for membership in the sportsmanship fraternity (圈内人) will do.1. Take no more game than the bag limit provided for by the fish and game laws. The person who comes back from a trip boasting about the large number of fish or game taken is not a sportsman but a game hog (贪得无厌的捕猎者).2. Observe the unwritten rules of fair play. This means shooting game birds only when the仅供参考birds are “on the wing〞. For the same reason, do not use a shotgun to shoot a rabbit or similar animal while it is sitting or standing still.3. Be careful in removing illegal or undersized fish from the hook. This should be done only after wetting the hands. This is necessary because the body of the fish is covered with a thin, protective film which will stick to your dry hands. If the hands are dry when the fish is handled, the film is torn from the body of the fish. Without the protective film, the fish is more easily attacked by diseases. If you wish to release a fish that is hooked in such a way that it will be impossible to be close to the hook as convenient. In a remarkably short time, the hook will break down and the fish will remain almost unharmed. Fish have been known to feed successfully while hooks were still in their lips.4. Be sure of the identity of your target before you shoot. Many useful and harmless species of wildlife are thoughtlessly killed by the uninformed person who is out with a gun to kill whatever flies within range.S1. In what respect does the author think individual outdoor sports are similar to athletic contests?S2. A person who goes out fishing with a fishing rod or hunting with a gun is not necessarily________.S3.

Sounds good.An oil boom would also mean a multibillion-dollar windfall(意外之财)in tax revenues,royalties(开采权使用费)and leasing fees for Alaska and the Federal Government.Best of all,advocates of drilling say,damage to the environment would be insignificant.“We’ve never had a document case of oil rig chasing deer out onto the pack ice.”says Alaska State Representative Scott Ogan.Not so far,say environmentalists.Sticking to the low end of government estimates, the National Resources Defense Council says there may be no more than3.2billion barrels of economically recoverable oil in the coastal plain of ANWR,a drop in the bucket that would do virtually nothing to ease America’s energy problems.And consumers would wait up to a decade to gain any benefits,because drilling could begin only after much bargaining over leases,environmental permits and regulatory review.As for ANWR’s impact on the California power crisis,environmentalists point out that oil is responsible for only1%of the Golden State’s electricity output—and just3%of the nation’s.21.What does President Bush think of tapping oil in ANWR?A)It will exhaust the nation’s oil reserves.B)It will help secure the future of ANWR.C)It will help reduce the nation’s oil imports.D)It will increase America’s energy consumption.22.We learn from the second paragraph that the American oil industry________.A)believes that drilling for oil in ANWR will produce high yieldsB)tends to exaggerate America’s reliance on foreign oilC)shows little interest in tapping oil in ANWRD)expects to stop oil imports from Saudi Arabia23.Those against oil drilling in ANWR argue that________.A)it can cause serious damage to the environmentB)it can do little to solve U.S.energy problemsC)it will drain the oil reserves in the Alaskan regionD)it will not have much commercial value24.What do the environmentalists mean by saying“Not so fast”(Line1,Para.3)?A)Oil exploitation takes a long timeB)The oil drilling should be delayedC)Don’t be too optimisticD)Don’t expect fast returns25.It can be learned from the passage that oil exploitation beneath ANWR’s frozenearth________.A)remains a controversial issueB)is expected to get under way soonC)involves a lot of technological problemsD)will enable the U.S.to be oil independentPassage2“Tear‘em apart!”“Kill the fool!”“Murder the referee(裁判)!”These are common remarks one may hear at various sporting events.At the time they are made,they may seem innocent enough.But let’s not kid ourselves.They have been known to influence behavior in such a way as to lead to real bloodshed.Volumes have been written about the way words affect us.It has been shown that words having certain connotations(含义)may cause us to react in ways quite foreign to what we consider to be our usual humanistic behavior.I see the term“opponent”as one of those words.Perhaps the time has come to delete it from sports terms.The dictionary meaning of the term“opponent“is“adversary“:“enemy“;“one who opposes your interests.”“Thus,when a player meets an opponent,he or she may tend to treat that opponent as an enemy.At such times,winning may dominate one’s intellect,and every action,no matter how gross,may be considered justifiable.I recall an incident in a handball game when a referee refused a player’s request for a time out for a glove change because he did not considered then wet enough.The player proceeded to rub his gloves across his wet T-shirt and then exclaimed.“Are they wet enough now?”In the heat of battle,players have been observed to throw themselves across the court without considering the consequences that such a move might have on anyone in their way.I have also witnessed a player reacting to his opponent’s international and illegal blocking by deliberately hitting him with the ball as hard as he could during the course of play.Off the court,they are good friends.Does that make any sense?It certainly gives proof of a court attitude which departs from normal behavior.Therefore,I believe it is time we elevated(提升)the game to the level where it belongs thereby setting an example to the rest of the sporting world.Replacing the term “opponent”with“associate”could be an ideal way to start.The dictionary meaning of the term“associate”is“colleague”;“friend”;“companion.”Reflect a moment!You may soon see and possibly feel the difference in your reaction to the term“associate”rather than“opponent.”26.Which of the following statements best expresses the author’s view?A)Aggressive behavior in sports can have serious consequences.B)The words people use can influence their behavior.C)Unpleasant words in sports are often used by foreign athletes.D)Unfair judgments by referees will lead to violence on the sports field.27.Harsh words are spoken during games because the players________.A)are too eager to winB)are usually short-tempered and easily offendedC)cannot afford to be polite in fierce competitionD)treat their rivals as enemies28.What did the handball player do when he was not allowed a time out to change hisgloves?A)He refused to continue the game.B)He angrily hit the referee with a ball.C)He claimed that the referee was unfair.D)He wet his gloves by rubbing them across his T-shirt.29.According to the passage,players,in a game,may________.A)deliberately throw the ball at anyone illegally blocking their wayB)keep on screaming and shouting throughout the gameC)lie down on the ground as an act of protestD)kick the ball across the court with force30.The author hopes to have the current situation in sports improved by________.A)calling on players to use clean language on the courtB)raising the referee’s sense of responsibilityC)changing the attitude of players on the sports fieldD)regulating the relationship between players and refereesPassage3Consumers are being confused and misled by the hodge-podge(大杂烩)of environmental claims made by household products,according to a“green labeling”study published by Consumers International Friday.Among the report’s more outrageous(令人无法容忍的)findings-a German fertilizer described itself as“earthworm friendly”a brand of flour said it was “non-polluting”and a British toilet paper claimed to be“environmentally friendlier”The study was written and researched by Britain’s National Consumer Council (NCC)for lobby group Consumer International.It was funded by the German and Dutch governments and the European Commission.“While many good and useful claims are being made,it is clear there is a long way to go in ensuring shoppers are adequately informed about the environmental impact of products they buy,”said Consumers International director Anna Fielder.The10-country study surveyed product packaging in Britain,Western Europe, Scandinavia and the United States.It found that products sold in Germany and the United Kingdom made the most environmental claims on average.The report focused on claims made by specific products,such as detergent(洗涤剂) insect sprays and by some garden products.It did not test the claims,but compared them to labeling guidelines set by the International Standards Organization(ISO)in September, 1999.Researchers documented claims of environmental friendliness made by about2,000 products and found many too vague or too misleading to meet ISO standards.“Many products had specially-designed labels to make them seem environmentally friendly,but in fact many of these symbols mean nothing,”said report researcher Philip Page.“Laundry detergents made the most number of claims with158.Household cleaners were second with145separate claims,while paints were third on our list with73.The high numbers show how very confusing it must be for consumers to sort the true from the misleading.”he said.The ISO labeling standards ban vague or misleading claims on product packaging, because terms such as“environmentally friendly”and“non-polluting”cannot be verified.“What we are now pushing for is to have multinational corporations meet the standards set by the ISO.”said Page.31.According to the passage,the NCC found it outrageous that________.A)all the products surveyed claim to meet ISO standardsB)the claims made by products are often unclear or deceivingC)consumers would believe many of the manufactures’claimD)few products actually prove to be environment friendly32.As indicated in this passage,with so many good claims,the consumers________.A)are becoming more cautious about the products they are going to buyB)are still not willing to pay more for products with green labelingC)are becoming more aware of the effects different products have on theenvironmentD)still do not know the exact impact of different products on the environment33.A study was carried out by Britain’s NCC to________.A)find out how many claims made by products fail to meet environmentalstandardsB)inform the consumers of the environmental impact of the products they buyC)examine claims made by products against ISO standardsD)revise the guidelines set by the International Standards Organization34.What is one of the consequences caused by the many claims of household products?A)They are likely to lead to serious environmental problems.B)Consumers find it difficult to tell the true from the false.C)They could arouse widespread anger among consumer.D)Consumers will be tempted to buy products they don’t need.35.It can be inferred from the passage that the lobby group Consumer Internationalwants to________.A)make product labeling satisfy ISO requirementsB)see all household products meet environmental standardsC)warn consumers of the danger of so-called green productsD)verify the efforts of non-polluting productsPassage4Two hours from the tall buildings of Manhattan and Philadelphia live some of the world’s largest black bears.They are in northern Pennsylvania’s Pocono Mountains,a home they share with an abundance of other wildlife.The streams,lakes,meadows(草地),mountain ridges and forests that make the Poconos an ideal place for black bears have also attracted more people to the region. Open spaces are threatened by plans for housing estates and important habitats(栖息地) are endangered by highway construction.To protect the Poconos natural beauty from irresponsible development,the Nature Conservancy(大自然保护协会)named the area one of America’s“Last Great Places”.Operating out of a century-old schoolhouse in the village of Long Pond, Pennsylvania,the conservancy’s bud Cook is working with local people and business leaders to balance economic growth with environmental protection.By forging partnerships with people like Francis Altemose,the Conservancy has been able to protect more than14,000acres of environmentally important land in the area.Altemose’s family has farmed in the Pocono area for generations.Two years ago Francis worked with the Conservancy to include his farm in a county farmland protection program.As a result,his family’s land can be protected from development and theAltemoses will be better able to provide a secure financial future for their7-year-old grandson.Cook attributes the Conservancy’s success in the Poconos to having a local presence and a commitment to working with local residents“The key to protecting these remarkable lands is connecting with the local community,”Cook said.“The people who live there respect the land.They value quiet forests,clear streams and abundant wildlife.They are eager to help with conservation effort.For more

The person who comes back from a trip boasting about the large number of fish or game taken is not a sportsman but a game hog(贪得无厌的捕猎者).2.Observe the unwritten rules of fair play.This means shooting game birds only when the birds are“on the wing”.For the same reason,do not use a shotgun to shoot a rabbit or similar animal while it is sitting or standing still.3.Be careful in removing illegal or undersized fish from the hook.This should be done only after wetting the hands.This is necessary because the body of the fish is covered with a thin,protective film which will stick to your dry hands.If the hands are dry when the fish is handled,the film is torn from the body of the fish.Without the protective film,the fish is more easily attacked by diseases.If you wish to release a fish that is hooked in such a way that it will be impossible to be close to the hook as convenient.In a remarkably short time,the hook will break down and the fish will remain almost unharmed.Fish have been known to feed successfully while hooks were still in their lips.4.Be sure of the identity of your target before you shoot.Many useful and harmless species of wildlife are thoughtlessly killed by the uninformed person who is out with a gun to kill whatever flies within range.S1.In what respect does the author think individual outdoor sports are similar to athletic contests?S2.A person who goes out fishing with a fishing rod or hunting with a gun is not necessarily________.S3.What’s the most important thing a true sportsman should bear in mind when he goes fishing or hunting________.S4.Those who violate the fish and game laws will not be________for membership in the sportsmanship fraternity.S5.What are people called when they break the bag limit and boast about their big catch?S6.A true sportsman will not shoot an animal which is not________.S7.What are people advised to do before they remove illegal or undersized fish from the hook?S8.What should sportsman do to avoid killing rare species of wildlife?Part V Writing(30minutes)Directions:For this part,you are allowed30minutes to write a short essay in honor of teachers on the occasion of Teacher’s Day.You should write at least120words following the outline given below:1.向老师致以节日祝贺2.从一件难忘的事回忆老师的教诲和无私的奉献3.我如何回报老师的关爱2005年6月四级参考答案Part I Listening Comprehension1.D2.C3.B4.D5.A6.A7.C8.B9.C10.D 11.D12.A13.B14.C15.A 16.B17.B18.A19.C20.BPart II Reading Comprehension 21.C22.A23.B24.C25.A 26.B27.D28.D29.A30.C 31.B32.D33.C34.B35.A 36.B37.A38.C39.D40.DPart III41.B42.D43.C44.A45.B 46.C47.A48.D49.A50.B 51.A52.C53.B54.D55.D 56.A57.C58.D59.B60.D 61.A62.C63.D64.B65.APart IV Short Answer Questions S1.Both of them are in common with sportsmanshipS2.a sportsmanS3.To obey the law.S4.qualifiedS5.A game hog.S6.movingS7.To wet their hands.S8.They should know the identity of the target.。

Choose the one that you think is the best answer.Mark your answers on your answer sheet.TEXT ATEXT BPredicting the future is always risky. But it’s probably safe to say that at least a few historians will one day speak of the 20th century as America’s “ Disney era ” . Today, it’s certainly difficult to think of any other single thing that represents modern America as powerfully as the company that created Mickey Mouse. Globally, brands like Coca-Cola and McDonalds may be more widely-known, but neither encapsulates 20th-century America in quite the same way as Disney.The reasons for Disney’s success are varied and numerous, but ultimately the credit belongs to one person — the man who created the cartoon and built the company from nothing, Walt Disney. Ironically, he could not draw particularly well. But he was a genius in plenty of other respects. In business, his greatest skills were his insight and his management ability. After setting himself up in Hollywood, he single-handedly pioneered the concepts of branding and merchandising —something his company still does brilliantly today.But what really distinguished Disney was his ability to identify with his audiences. Disney always made sure his films championed the “ little guy ” , and made him feel proud to be American. This he achieved by creating characters that reflected the hopes and fears of ordinary people. Some celebrated American achievements —Disney’s very first cartoon Plane Crazy, featuring a silent Mickey Mouse, was inspired by Charles Lindbergh’s flight across the Atlantic. Others, like the There Little Pigs and Snow White and the Seven Dwarves, showed how, through hard work and helping one’s fellow man, or Americans could survive social and economic crises like the Great Depression.Disney’s other great virtue was the fact that his company — unlike other big corporations — had a human face. His Hollywood studio — the public heard — operated just like a democracy, where everyone was on firstname terms and had a say in how things should be run. He was also regarded as a great patriot because not only did his cartoonscelebrate America, but, during World War II, studios made training films for American soldiers.The reality, of course, was less idyllic. As the public would later learn, Disney’s patriotism had an unpleasant side. After a strike by cartoonists in 1941, he became convinced that Hollywood had been infiltrated by Communists. He agreed to work for the FBI as a mole, identifying and spying on colleagues whom he suspected were subversives.But, apart from his affiliations with the FBI, Disney was more or less the genuine article. A new book, The Magic Kingdom; Walt Disney and the American Way of Life, by Steven Watts, confirms that he was very definitely on the side of ordinary Americans — in the 30s and 40s he voted for Franklin Roosevelt, believing he was a champion of the workers. Also, Disney was not an apologist for the FBI, as some have suggested. In fact, he was always suspicious of large, bureaucratic organizations, as is evidenced in films like That Darned Cat, in which he portrayed FBI agents as bungling incompetents.By the time he died in 1966, Walt Disney was an icon like Thomas Edison and the Wright Brothers. To business people and filmmakers, he was a role model; to the public at large, he was “ Uncle Walt ”— the man who had entertained them all their lives, the man who represented them all their lives, the man who represented all that was good about America.86. Walt Disney is believed to possess the following abilities EXCEPTA. painting.B. creativityC. management.D. merchandising.87. According to the passage, what was the pleasant side of Disney’s patriotism?A. He sided with ordinary Americans in his films.B. He supported America’s war efforts in his own way.C. He had doubts about large, bureaucratic organizations.D. He voted for Franklin Roosevelt in the 30s and 40s.88. In the sixth paragraph the sentence “Disney was more or less the genuine article” means thatA. Disney was a creative and capable person.B. Disney once agreed to work for the FBI.C. Disney ran his company in a democratic way.D. Disney was sympathetic with ordinary people.89. The writer’s attitude toward Walt Disney can best be described asA. sympathetic.B. objective.C. critical.D. skeptical.TEXT CTEXT DPART VI WRITING [45 MIN. ]SECTION A COMPOSITION [35 MIN]The students’ Union of your university is planning to hold an arts festival next semester, and they are inviting students to contribute their ideas and suggestions as to how it should be organized or what should be included.Write on ANSWER SHEET TWO a composition of about 200 words on the following topic:MY IDEA OF A UNIVERSITY ARTS FESTIVALYou are to write in three parts.In the first part, state specifically what your idea is.In the second part, provide one or two reasons to support your idea OR describe your idea.

But its maker. Frito- Lay. Thinks otherwise. ― Potatochips are a snack food for the world, ‖ said Salman Amin, the company’s head of global marketing. Amin believes there is no corner of the world that can resist the charms of a Frito-Lay potato chip.Frito-Lay is the biggest snack maker in America, owned by PepsiCo. Andaccounts for over half of the parent company ’s $3 billion annual profits. But the U.S. snack food market is largely saturated, and to grow, the company has to look overseas.Its strategy rests on two beliefs: first a global product offers economies of scale with which local brands cannot compete. And second, consumers in the 21st century are drawn to ― global as‖a concept. ― Global ‖ doesnot mean products that are consciously identified as American, but ones than consumes-especially young people-see as part of a modem, innovative (创新的 ) world in which people are linked across cultures by shared beliefs and tastes.

SARS —Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome —was detected for the first time in February in Hanoi, and since then has infected more than 1,600 people in 15 countries, killing 63. At this point, there are more questions than answers surrounding the disease.Symptoms start with a fever over 100.4 degrees F, sometimes with chills, headache or body aches. Within a week, the patient has a dry cough, which might progress to shortness of breath. In 10% to 20% of cases, patients require mechanical ventilation to breathe. About 3.5% die from the disease.Most cases appear to have been passed through droplets expelled when infected patients cough or sneeze. Family members of infected people and medical workers who care for them have been most likely to contract the illness. But recent developments in Hong Kong suggest that the disease might spread through air, or that the virus might linger for two to three hours on doorknobs or other surfaces.Symptoms generally begin in two to seven days, but some reports suggest it might take as long as 10 days.Scientists are close to developing a lab test to diagnose SARS. In the meantime, it is diagnosed by its symptoms. There is no evidence that antibiotics, anti-viral medicines or steroids help, so doctors can offer only supportive care. Patients with SARS are kept in isolation to reduce the risk of transmission.Scientists aren't sure yet, but some researchers think it's a newly discovered coronavirus, the family of viruses that cause some common colds.2009年英语专业四级考试阅读部分参考答案Text A81.
