Part I Reading ComprehensionDirections: There are 4 reading passages in this part. 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 choice and mark the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet with a single line through the center. Passage OneBlack is the color of mourning. Red symbolizes danger and violence. If you are afraid, you are yellow. None of these saying is true outside the English-speaking world. In China and Korea, white is the color of mourning. In Russia, red stands for beauty and life. In Italy and Germany, you are yellow with anger, not with fear.A redcap in the United States is a porter in a station； in Britain a redcap is a military policeman. Both names are logical, because both men wear red caps. Similarly, an American white-collar worker is sometimes called a black-coated worker in Britain. The expression “blueblood”, which is now international, comes from Spain, where some n oble families declared they had “sangre azual”, meaning that they had no Jewish blood. But why “blueblood”？Because the veins stand out when their possessor is fair-skinned.1. Yellow symbolizes anger in _________.A) Austria B) EnglandC) Germany D) Russia2. The Russians connect red with ________.A) blood B) lifeC) death D) fear3. White symbolizes mourning in _________.A) Canada and BritainB) China and KoreaC) Germany and ItalyD) Russia and the United States4. Both Britain and America would probably agree that ________.A) black is the color of mourningB) a black-coated worker is employed in an officeC) a redcap is a porter in a stationD) red stands for beauty and truth5. Which of the following statements is true?A) Two meanings of “redcap” come from a difference in weather.B) Some noble men liked Jewish people.C) “Sangre azual” means “red blood”.D) The international color expression “blueblood” begins in Spain.Passage TwoCars are an important part of life in the United States. The car made the United States a nation on wheels. And it helped make the United States what it is today.There are three main reasons why the car became so popular in the United States. First of all, the country is a huge one and Americans like to move around in it. The car 石家庄装修公司石家庄装修石家庄装修网石家庄装饰网大连装修公司大连装修大连装饰网大连装饰公司provide the most comfortable and cheapest form of transportation (运输).The second reason that cars are popular is the fact the United States never really developed an efficient and inexpensive form of public transportation. Long distance trains have never been as common in the United States as they are in other parts of the world. Nowadays there is a good system of air-service provided by planes. But it is too expensive to be used frequently.The third reason is the most important one, though. The American spirit of independence is what really makes cars popular. Americans don‟t like to wait for a bus or a train or even a plane. And the freedom a car gives them is what Americans want most to have.The decrease of gas supplies has caused a big problem for Americans. But the answer will not be a bigger system of public transportation. The real solution will have to be a new kind of car, one that doesn‟t use so much gas.6. Why do we call the United States “a nation on wheels”?A) Because it first started making cars in large numbers.B) Because there are various forms of transportation in the country.C) Because Americans like moving around in cars.D) Because transportation in the country is cheap and convenient.7. According to the statement “And it helped make the United States what it is today” (Para 1. Line 3), we know that _______.A) the car has greatly helped to develop the economy of the countryB) the car has changed the traditions of the countryC) the car has become America‟s most modern form of transportationD) the car has made the Americans enjoy spending money freely8. What is the most important reason that cars become popular in the United States?A) Americans enjoy sightseeing in different places.B) Americans like to go round freely.C) The United States is a very big country.D) Public transportation is not so efficient.9. What is the disadvantage with air-service in the United States as mentioned in the passage?A) It uses a lot of fuel.B) It is not as comfortable as the car.C) It costs a lot.D) It takes the longest route.10. What has become a big headache to the Americans?A) There isn‟t enough petrol as wanted.B) They have to invent new types of cars.C) Poor public transportation.D) The necessity of moving about.Passage ThreeDuring the nineteenth century, when little was known about environmentalism and石家庄装修公司石家庄装修石家庄装修网石家庄装饰网大连装修公司大连装修大连装饰网大连装饰公司conservation (保护), it was common to hear people in Europe and American say that the resources (资源)of the sea were unlimited. They believed the world and nature would continuously reproduce all the resources they would need. For example, a noted biologist writing in the mid-nineteenth century commented that none of the great sea fisheries were to be exhausted. Today, though, there is evidence that resources of the sea were seriously endangered.Previously, environmentalists have founded their attention on the land and air. Recently, however, they are beginning to discover that the resources of the sea are in as much danger. Some sea animals are endangered as well as the African elephant, the Indian tiger, and the American eagle(鹰).Furthermore, the threats（威胁） to fish are more alarming in some ways than the threats to animals and birds. This is because fish are a much needed food source, and people throughout the world depend on fish as an important part of their food. Therefore, a decrease in the fish supply could have extensive effects on hunger and population. Fisherman in the north Atlantic alone yearly harvest 20 billion pounds of fish to satisfy food demand, but the world needs to recognize that these practices cannot continue without decreasing fish reserves within the next few years. Rapid decreasing sea resources in parts of the world are problems that cannot be ignored any longer. Unlike the scholars in the nineteenth century, we now know that food supplies in the sea cannot last forever.11. The passage is mainly about ________.A) whether sea resources are limited.B) how to raise sea fisheriesC) the good taste of sea foodD) how to increase food supplies12. According to the writer, what attitude did many people in the 19th century have toward sea resources?A) They believed that the resources would decrease.B) They knew that the resources would soon be used up.C) They thought that the resources would not be exhausted.D) They argued that the resources were limited.13. The main reason for maintaining sea resources is that _______.A) they are important as food resources.B) all living things should be protectedC) noted biologists insist soD) fishes are becoming smaller in number than American eagles14. The writer mentions the American elephant, Indian tiger and American eagle to show that they are _______.A) endangered on the land and in the airB) important kinds to be keptC) symbols of different countriesD) examples of 200 animals15. The purpose of the writer in writing this passage is to show that ______.A) the resources of the sea were unlimitedB) there are threats to sea resources as wellC) fish will continue as important food suppliesD) we must love fishPassage FourRecently a five-year study was constructed by the Center for Childhood Development in Los Angeles, California, regarding the way babies react to different types of people. The findings of the study suggest that infant (婴儿)children seem to be more comfortable around other babies than they are with strange adults.The results support the idea of Dr. Richard Perelman, a well-known doctor treating children. He has written many books about raising children. Doctor Perelman supports the findings of the study and adds that it is a sounder idea to keep children with other children, as in a day care center, than it is to have children cared for by a baby-sitter.According to the results of the study, infants benefits from being in the company of other babies on a daily basis while some babies seem to show fear of strange adults. They are likely to reach out to try to touch an unfamiliar baby. The study even suggests that children as young as one year old can form friendships.Two of the children in study were especially close. It was reported that if the children were separated for any reason they would start to cry. The only way to satisfy them was to allow them to be together. If the findings are true, it may lead to an increase in the use of day care centers where children can spend more time with each other and less time with adults16. What is the best title of this passage?A) Infant Testing Procedures（步骤）B) How to Be a Good ParentC) Choosing the Best Day Care Center for BabiesD) How to Choose a Good Doctor17. According to the first paragraph, a baby is most likely to be comfortable with ______.A) a baby-sitterB) another babyC) a strange adultD) Dr. Richard Perelman18. What is true about Dr. Richard Perelman?A) He writes many books for children.B) He raises many children.C) He teaches at a university.D) He has a special view on raising children.19. According to the passage, what is the best way to care for a baby?A) To take the babies to work.B) To let babies stay with other babies.C) To hire a baby-sitter.D) Adults should care for children.20. What is the purpose of the writer in writing this passage?A) To Inform the readersB) To doubt the new findingsC) To provide an argumentD) To increase day care centersPart II Vocabulary and StructureDirections: There are 30 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.

Reading Comprehension ( 50 分)Directions: In this part there are four passages. Each passage is followed by five 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 and write the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet.Passage OneWhen young people get their first real jobs, they face a lot of new, confusing situations. They may find that everything is different from the way things were at school. It is also possible that they will feel uncomfortable and insecure in both professional and social situations. Eventually, they realize that university classes can't be the only preparation for all of the different situations that arise in the working world.(81) Perhaps the best way to learn how to behave in the working world is to identify a worker you admire and observe his behavior. By doing so, you will be able to see what it is that you admire in this person. For example, you will observe how he acts in a crisis. Perhaps even more important, you will be able to see what his approach to day-to-day situations is.While you are observing your colleague, you should be asking yourself whether his behavior is like yours and how you can learn from his responses to a variety of situations. By watching and learning from a model, you will probably begin to identify and adopt good working habits.41. The young people who just graduated from school may not behave well in the working world becauseA. they were not well educated at schoolB. what they learn in university classes is not adequate for their new lifeC. the society is too complicated to adapt toD. they failed to work hard at school42. The underlined word 'arise' in Para. I means .A. come into beingB. bring aboutC. go upD. cause to happen43. The best way to learn how to behave in the working worldis .A. to find a worker and follow him closelyB. to find a person you respect and see how he acts in different situationsC. to find a person you admire and make friends with himD. to make the acquaintance of a model you admire44. The purpose of this writing is .A. to offer career guide to young peopleB. to tell young people the importance of the first jobC. to instruct young people how to communicate with peopleD. to advise young people on good working habits45. The passage could be best entitled _ .A. Learn, Learn and Learn AgainB. One Is Never Too Old to LearnC. Learn from a ModelD. Learn ForeverPassage TwoAirline companies are responsible for transporting your luggage. If you cannot recover it at the point of arrival, you must inform the airline immediately. They will carry out the necessary search. If the luggage is recovered, it will be delivered to your place of residence. If you wish to insure your luggage, you may do so at your own expense.Some airlines restrict luggage weight to 44 pounds(20kg) ; in other cases, there is no weight restriction, but you are not allowed more than two pieces of luggage. Inquire about luggage allowances from the airline with which you will be traveling. However, you must pay extra for excess luggage, which is not reimbursed(补偿) by Canadian International Development Agency(CIDA).Each suitcase, bag or package must be clearly labeled with your name and destina-tion. (82) If you do not know the exact destination address at the time of your departure, label your luggage in care of(由……代收) the executing agency whose name appears in the Training Agreement, using the following model: Surname, first nameName of your countryAddress of the executing agencyCity, country, postal codeTelephone number of executing agencyIf you do not have this information, please label your luggage with the name and address of the institution you are to attend in Canada. If none of these details are available, you can use CIDA's address.46. If you can't find your luggage at the point of arrival, airline companies will try to find it and _ .A. ask you to insure your luggageB. deliver it to where you liveC. inform you about its recoveryD. ask you to pay some money for it47. Before taking your air trip, you have to make sureA. of the restrictions on luggageB. of the insurance for luggageC. who will pay for the excess luggageD. how much CIDA will pay for the excess luggage48.

The passage is mainly about CIDA's advice on .A. the charge of your luggageB. the handling of your luggageC. the insurance of your luggageD. the transportation of your luggagePassage ThreeSince we are social beings, the quality of our lives depends in large measure on our interpersonal relationships. One strength of human condition is our possibility to give and receive support from one another under stressful (有压力的) conditions. Social support makes up the exchanges of resources among people based on their interpersonal ties. Those of us with strong support systems appear better able to deal with major life changes and daily problems. People with strong social ties live longer and have better health than those without such ties. Studies over types of illnesses, from depression to heart disease, show that the presence of social support helps people defend themselves against illness, and the absence of such support makes poor health more likely.Social support cushions stress in a number of ways. First, friends, relatives and co- workers may let us know that they value us. Our self-respect is strengthened when we feel accepted by others in spite of our faults and difficulties. Second, other people often provide us with informational support. They help us to define and understand our problems and find solutions to them.Third, we typically find social companionship supportive. (83)Taking part in free-time activities with others helps us to meet our social needs while at the same time distracting us from our worries and troubles. Finally, other people may give us instrumental support－money aid, material resources, and needed services— that reduces stress by helping us resolve and deal with our problems.51. The author mainly talks about _ .A. how to improve our interpersonal relationshipsB. people's health conditionsC. how to deal with daily worries and problemsD. the importance of interpersonal relationships52. Para.2 is mainly about _ .A. ways to reduce stressB. informational supportC. instrumental supportD. social companionship53. The word 'cushion' in Para. 2 means .A. increase the effect ofB. reduce the effect ofC. a mat placed beneath the carpet of a sofaD. a rug placed on the floor54. Lending money to a person in trouble belongs to .A. the strengthening of self-respectB. social companionshipC. instrumental supportD. informational support55. According to the passage, which of the following is true?A. Playing chess with others in spare time is of informational support.B. Social support enables us to succeed in dealing with all kinds of problems.C. With social support, people will become perfect withoutany faults.D. It's possible that people who have fewer social ties are in poor health.Passage Four(84)One of the best-known proverbs must be 'Early to bed, early to rise, makes a man healthy, wealthy and wise. ' The promises of health, wealth and wisdom to those who join the ranks of the early retires and risers must be particularly appealing to many people in our contemporary society. There is no doubt that one of the greatest concerns of modern man is his health. It is estimated that in the United States 200 billion dollars are spent on health care each year. The medical field has grown into such a big business that it employs 4. 8 million people and it appears that in many places, more staff is needed to meet the demands of the people who are concerned about their physical well-being.Much more interest has been shown in preventive(预防的) medicine in recent years. (85) This is probably due in part to the increasing costs of medical treatment, but the writings of such people as Dr. Kenneth Cooper have also played an important role. In his book Aerobics, Dr. Cooper communicated his message of the benefits of exercise so effectively that many other authors have followed in his trail, and literally millions of readers have put on their sports shoes and taken to the highways and byways of America. A recent survey showed that over one million people are jogging. The last time I was in Honolulu, I was amazed to see hundreds of people, young and old, running for their lives, and I discovered many of them had run in the Hawaiian Marathon.Exercise has also become a major part of conversation. At adinner party recently, the president of a bank asked me, 'You look like a runner; how far do you run each day?'A few days later when I appeared on a national television show, the host suddenly asked me if I was a regular runner. On both occasions the conversation turned to the subject of exercise and I found, as I have found wherever I have traveled recently, that this is a subject on many people's minds. Of course, there are still many people who are less enthusiastic about exercise. They appreciate the philosophy of Robert M. Hutchins who said, 'Whenever the thought of exercise occurs to me, I lie down till it passes. '56. The underlined word 'retires'. in Para. 1 probably refers to .A. people who go to.bedB. people who live in quiet placesC. people who have a lot of free timeD. people who give up their work57. The first paragraph indicates that medical workers .A. can make a lot of moneyB. like running sports more than ordinary peopleC. are more concerned with their own healthD. are in great demand58. In the United States, medical treatment is .A. expensiveB. insufficientC. very effectiveD. cheap59. The pronoun 'it' in the last sentence of the passage means .A. exerciseB. the thought of exerciseC. meD. nothing60. The examples of conversation in the last paragraph are used _ .A. to show the writer's love for travelB. to prove that the writer was a good runnerC. to show people's interest in exerciseD. to prove that people are tired of old conversation topicsⅢ.

Then write the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet.Section A (非英语专业学生做 )Shopping for clothes is not the same experience for a man 61 it is for a woman. A man goes shopping because he needs something definitely. His purpose is settled and decided in 62 . He knows what he wants, and his 63 is to find it and get it.Almost all men simply walk into a shop and ask the assistant for their needs if they are not in a supermarket. If the shop has them in 64 , the deal can be made in less than five minutes, with _ 65 _ any chat and to everyone's satisfaction.For a man, slight problems may begin when the shop does not have 66 he wants. In that case, the salesman tries to sell the customer something _67 he offers the nearest to the article required. Good salesman brings out such a substitute with 68 : 'I know this is not the style you want, sir; but would you like to try it for size? It happens to _ 69 the color you told me.' Few men 70 patience with this kind of treatment, and the usual response is: 'This is the right color and maybe the right size, _ 71 _ I should be wasting my time and yours by trying it 72 .' For a woman, buying clothes is always done in the oppositeway. She goes 73 when she wants to wander on the streets. She has never been fully aware what she wants, and she is only 'window shopping', She is always open 74 persuasion, willing to try on 75 number of things. Uppermost in her mind is the thought of finding 76 that everyone thinks suits her. Most women have an excellent sense of value and are always on the look-out for the unexpected 77 . Faced with a roomful of _ 78 _, a woman may easily spend an hour going from one rail to another before selecting the dresses she wants to try on. _ 79 _ is a tiresome process, but apparently an enjoyable one. Most dress shops _ 80 chairs for the waiting husbands.61. A. with B. as C. to D. than62. A. detail B. advance C. hurry D. a way63. A. objective B. reason C. dream D. choice64.

Main Street was always in the heart of a town. This street was 62 on both sides with 63 businesses. Here, shoppers walked into stores to look at all sorts of merchandise: clothing, furniture, hardware, groceries. 64 , some shops offered 65 . These shops included drugstores, restaurants, shoe-repair stores, and barber or hairdressing shops. _66 in the 1950s, a change began to 67 . Too many automobiles had crowded into Main Street 68 too few parking places were 69 shoppers. Because the streets were crowded, merchants began to look with interest at the open spaces _70 the city limits. Open space is what their car-driving customers needed. And open space is what they got 71 the first shopping center was built Shopping centers, or rather malls, 72 as a collection of small new stores 73 crowded city centers. 74 by hundreds of free parking space, customers were drawn away from 75 areas to outlying malls. And the growing 76 of shopping centers led 77 to the building of bigger and better stocked stores. _ 78 _ the late 1970s, many shopping malls had almost developed into small cities themselves. In addition to providing the 79 of one stop shopping, malls were transformed into landscaped parks, _80 benches, fountains, and outdoor entertainment.61. A. Earliest B. Early C. Early as D.

For each of them there are 4 choices marked A, B, C and D. You should decide on the best choice, and mark the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet.Passage OneI'm a Chinese student studying in Canada. I have been a boarder(寄宿生) with the Carsons for more than a year and a half.The Carsons live in their own house, which has four bedrooms including the one in the basement(底层) which I live in. Judy does all the work in the house and Andrew is responsible for the work in the garden. When they go out in they evening, they often ask me to look after their children.Judy's parents, Mr. and Mrs. Morris, lived in another city. Judy was their only child and naturally they doted on(溺爱) Judy's children. They often sent the children presents.Last April Mr. Morris died. Now that Mrs. Morris was quite alone, I expected that Judy would want her to come and live with them. One day, Margaret told me grandma was coming to live with them and her daddy and mummy would want my room back. The news didn't surprise me and the next day I went to Judy and asked her about it. I said I couldn't think of living in their basement room any longer if it was needed for Mrs. Morris. Judy seemed surprised at first. Then she told me there was no deed for me to move, for they hadn't yet come to any decision about her mother coming to live with them. "Naturally I'm worried about my mother. She has been in poor health." She smiled sadly and added. "To be honest, Andrew and my mother have never got on well. We'll wait a bit and see what happens. Perhaps Moter will be all right living herself, of perhaps they will both change their minds."That was six months ago. During this time I've heard that Mrs. Morris has had two illnesses and that her health has got worse. A nursing home was mentioned once but Mrs. Morris refused to go there. So up to now she's still living alone and I'm still living in the basement room.61. What is the relationship between the speaker and the Carsons?A. He is a brother of Andrew Carson.B. He is a close friend of the Carsons.C. He is a student of Judy Carson.D. He is a student who pays to live and have meals at the Carsons' house.62. Why did the speaker expect Mrs. Morris to come to live with her daughter?A. Because Mr. Morris was dead.B. Because Mrs. Morris suffered from illness.C. Because Mrs. Morris lived all by herself.D. Because of all the reasons mentioned in A, B and C.63. Which of the following statements is NOT true according to the passage?A. Mrs. Morris was coming to live with the Carsons, so they asked the speaker to move.B. Judy had no brothers or sisters to look after her mother.C. Mrs. Morris loved her grandchildren very much.D. The Carsons once suggested that Mrs. Morris go to live in a nursing home.64. Why didn't Mrs. Morris come to live with her daughter's family?A. Because the speaker lived in the basement room and there was no other room for her to live in.B. Because she did not have a good relationship with her son-in-law.C. Because she was in rather poor health and could not come.D. Because she did not want to leave her own house.65. Which of the following would be the best title for the passage?A. My Landlady.B. The Boarder.C. Family Relationships is Canada.D. Nursing Homes and the Aged.Passage TwoOverhead bridges are found in many parts of Beijing, especially in places where traffic is very heavy and crossing th e road is dangerous.The purpose of these bridges is to enable pedestrians (行人) to cross roads safely. Overhead bridges are used to very much the same way as zebra crossings. They are more efficient (效率高的) although less convenient because people hav e to climb up a long flight of steps. This is inconvenient especially to older people. When pedestrains use an overhead br idge, they do not hold up traffic. However, when they cross a busy road using a zebra crossing, traffic is held up. This i s why the government has built many overhead bridges to help pedestrians and to keep traffic moving at the same time.The government of Beijing has spent a large amount of money on building these bridges. For their own safety, pedes trians should be encouraged to use them instead of risking (冒…危险) their lives by dashing across the road. Old people , however , may find it a little difficult climbing up and down the steps, but it is still much safer than walking across th e road with all the danger of moving traffic.Overhead bridges serve a very useful purpose. Pedestrians, both old and young, should make it a habit to use them. T his will prevent unnecessary accidents and loss of life.66. What is the advantage of overhead bridges mentioned in this passage?A. Taller trucks can pass under them.B. Pedestrians can climb up and have a view of the city.C. They are safer for pedestrians and can keep traffic moving at the same time.D. They are easier and more convenient for the pedestrians.67. Why were overhead bridges built in Beijing?A. Because they prevent traffic from being held up.B. Because they provide an easy way for the drivers to cross the road.C. Because they save money for the government.D. Because they save time for the pedestrians.68. Which of the following statements is true according to the passage?A. Overhead bridges are found in every part of Beijing.B. Overhead bridges are only found in the centre of Beijing.C. Overhead bridges are found in many parts of big cities in China.D. Overhead bridges are found in places where traffic is heavy.69. The underlined words a zebra crossing probably mean ________.A. a safe place across a road for pedestrians to walk across the roadB. a wild animal from Africa that looks like a horse with broad dark brown and white stripes on its bodyC. a safe place across a road for zebras to walk across the roadD. a safe place across a road for children to play a game70. What is the writer’s attitude towards overhead bridges?A. It is inconvenient to older people to walk across the road.B. It is much safer for pedestrians though climbing up and down the steps may be a little difficult,C. An overhead bridge is more beautiful than a zebra crossing.D. To build overhead bridges is the business of the government.Passage ThreeThere was a time when, if a lady got into a crowded bus or train, a gentleman would immediately stand up and offer his seat. But now, things are different. Today a gentleman will probably look out of the window or if he feels a bit shy, hide behind his newspaper. Either way, the lady will have to stand until someone else gets off.You can't entirely blame men for this change in manners, though. Gone are the days when women could be referred to as weakers without causing trouble. A whole generation of women has grown up demanding equality with men, not just equality in jobs or education, but in social life. Hold a door open for some women and you are likely to get an angry lecture on treating women as weakers unable to open doors for themselves. Take a girl out for meal and she'll probably insist on paying her share of the bill. On second thoughts, that is perhaps not a bad idea.It's no wonder then, that men have given up some ways of politeness and consideration which they used to show towards women. On the other hand, the man's active politeness is perhaps slowly being replaced by true consideration for the needs and feelings of women, so that men can see women as equal human beings, rather than as weakers or something that can be used to please men.71. Today, when a lady gets on a crowed bus or train, a gentleman would probaby . .A. stand up and offer her his seatB. read his newspaperC. look out of the windowD. not stand up and offer her his seat72. What men do towards women on a crowded bus or train today is . .A. really badB. strange enoughC. not entirely wrongD. entirely wrong73. The new generation of women wants to be . .A. treated not as the weaker sexB. Terated as the weaker sexC. cared for on buses and trainsD. better treated than before74. According to the passage, which of the following is not correct?A. Some women may get angry if you open the door for them.B. Girls don’t want you to pay for meal at allC. Some women may criticize you if you show too much politeness to themD. A girl may be unangry if you insist on paying her share of the bill.75. From the passage, we know that . .A. women need true consideration of their needs and feelingsB. men have given up some politeness they used to show to womenC. women often get angry of you’re polite to themD.women should stand in the bus or trainPassage Four“ Family” is of course an elastic word. But when British people say that their society is based on family life, they are thinking of “family” in its narrow, peculiarly European sense of mother, father and children living together alone in their own house as an economic and social unit. Thus, every British marriage indicates the beginning of a new and independent family—hence the tremendous importance of marriage in British life.For both the man and the woman, marriage means leaving one´s parents and starting one´s own life. The man´s first duty will then be to his wife, and the wife´s to her husband. He will be entirely responsible for her financial support, and she for the running of the new home. Their children will be their common responsibility and theirs alone. Neither the wife´s parents nor the husband´s, nor their b rothers or sisters, aunts or uncles, have any right to interfere with them—they are their own masters.Readers of novels like Jane Austen´s Pride and Prejudice will know that in former times marriage among wealthy families were arranged by the girl´s parents, that is, it was the parents´ duty to find a suitable husband for their daughter, preferably a rich one, and by skillful encouragement to lead him eventually to ask their permission to marry her. Until that time, the girl was protected and maintained in the parents´ home, and the financial relief of getting rid of her could be seen in their giving the newly married pair a sum of money called a dowry. It is very different today. Most girls of today get a job when they leave school and become financially independent before their marriage. This has had two results. A girl chooses her own husband, and she gets no dowry.76. What does the author mean by “Family is of course an elastic word”?A.Different families have different ways of life.B. Different definitions could be given to the word.C. Different nations have different families.D.Different times produce different families.77. For an English family, the husband´s duty is ____.A. supporting the family while the wife is financialB. defending the family while the wife is running the homeC. financial while the wife is running the homeD. independent while the wife is dependent78. Everything is decided in a family ____.A.by the coupleB. with the help of their parentsC. by brothers and sistersD. with the help of aunts and uncles79. What is true concerning the book Pride and Prejudice?A. It is the best book on marriage.B. It is a handbook of marriage.C. It gives quite some idea of English social life in the past.D. It provides a lot of information of former time wealthy families.80.With regard to marriage in Britain, present-day girls differ from former time girls in ____.A. the right marryB. more parental supportC. choosing husbandsD. social positionPart IV.

Each passage is followed by some questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are 4 choices marked A, B, C and D. You should decide on the best choice and mark the corresp onding letter on the Answer Sheet with a single line throug h the center.Passage OneQuestions 1 to 5 are based on the following passage.Different countries and different races have different manners . Before entering a house in some Asian countries, it is g ood manners to take off your shoes. In European countries, even though shoes sometimes become very muddy, this is not done. A guest in a Chinese house sometimes does not finish a drink. He leaves a little, to show that he has had en ough. In a Malay house, too, a guest always leaves a littl e food. In England, a guest always finishes a drink to sho w that he enjoys it.We should like to find out the customs of other races, so that they will not think us ill-mannered. But people all over the world agree that being well-mannered really means b eing kind and helping others, especially those older or weak er than ourselves. If you remember this, you will not go v ery far wrong.Here are some examples of the things that a well-mannered p erson does or does not do.He never laughs at people when they are in trouble.

In the bus, he gives his seat to an old er person or a lady who is standing. If he accidentally bu mps into （碰撞）someone, or gets in their way, he says “Excuse me”or “I’m sorry”.He says “Please”when making a request, and “Thank you”when he receives something. He stands up when speaking to a lady or an older person, and he does not sit down unt il the other person is seated. He does not talk too much about himself. When eating, he does not speak with his mout h full of food.1.According to the passage, a knowledge of the customs of oth er races ______.A is very usefulB is unnecessaryC is unimportantD does not mean much该问题分值: 2答案:A2.A person with good manners thinks of ______.A the older before himselfB himself before othersC no one but himselfD his personal interests该问题分值: 2答案:A3.Which of the following is NOT true?

I was an unsatisf actory student, for my heart was not in it. I had always wanted to be a writer, and in the evenings, after my tea, I wrote and read. Before long, I wrote a novel, called L iza of Lambeth, which I sent to a publisher and was accept ed. It appeared during my last year at the hospital and ha d something of a success. I felt I could afford to give up medicine and make writing my profession; so, three days a fter I graduated from the school of medicine, I set out fo r Spain to write another book. Looking back now, and knowin g the terrible difficulties of making a living by writing, I realize I was taking a fearful risk.The next ten years were very hard, and I earned an average of ￡100 a year. Then I had a bit of luck. The manager of the Court Theatre put on a play that failed. The next play he arranged to put on was not ready, and he was at his wit’s end. He read a play of mine and, though he d id not much like it, he thought it might just run for the six weeks till the play he had in mind could be produced . It ran for fifteen months. Within a short while, I had four plays running in London at the same time. Nothing of the kind had ever happened before. I was the talk of the town.6.When the author was a medical student, he ______.A had some trouble with his heartB was a very good studentC wanted to be a writer after graduationD was satisfied with what he was doing at the time该问题分值: 2答案:C7.When the author wrote his first novel, ______.A he sent it to a publisher but it was not acceptedB he was still studying at the medical schoolC he succeeded in publishing it though it was not a su ccess.D he had graduated from the medical school.该问题分值: 2答案:B8.The author gave up medicine because at that time ______.A he thought he could make a living by writingB he knew the success of the book was naturalC he knew it was no risk to be a writerD he was quite rich after the success of his book该问题分值: 2答案:A9.For the first ten years of his writing career after his gr aduation, the author earned an average of ￡100 a year, whi ch was ______.A a great sumB a bit of luckC a small sumD a moderate success该问题分值: 2答案:C10.The manager of the Court Theatre agreed to put on the auth or’s play because ______.A he thought the author was a good playwrightB he liked the author’s plays very muchC he failed to arrange a new play in timeD he heard that the author had studied medicine before该问题分值: 2答案:CPassage ThreeQuestions 11 to 15 are based on the following passage.In the last 500 years, nothing about people –-- not their clothes, ideas or languages --- has changed as much as wh at they eat. The original chocolate drink was made from the seeds of the cocoa tree by South American Indians. The Sp anish introduced it to the rest of the world. And although it was very expensive, it quickly became fashionable. In L ondon, shops where chocolate drinks were served became import ant meeting places. Some still exist today.The potato is also from the New World. Around 1500, the Sp anish brought it from Peru to Europe, where it was soon wi dely grown. Ireland became so dependent on it that thousands of Irish people starved when the crop failed during the “Potato Famine”of 1845-46, and thousands more were forced to emigrate to America. There are many other foods that h ave traveled from South America to the Old World. But some others went in the opposite direction. Brazil is now the world’s largest grower of coffee, and coffee is an importan t crop in Columbia and other South American countries. But it is native to Ethiopia. It was first made into a drink by Arabs during the 1400s.According to an Arabic legend, coffee was discovered by a g oatherd named Kaldi. He noticed that his goats were attracte d to the red berries on a coffee bush. He tried one and experienced the “wide-awake”feeling that one-third of the world’s population now starts the day with.11.According to the passage, ______ has changed the most in th e last 500 years.A foodB chocolateC potatoD coffee该问题分值: 2答案:A12.“Some”in “Some still exist today”(Para.1) means ______.A some cocoa treesB some chocolate drinksC some shopsD some South American Indians该问题分值: 2答案:C13.Thousands of Irish people starved during the “Potato Famine”because ______.A they were so dependent on the potato that they refused to eat anything elseB they were forced to emigrate to AmericaC the weather conditions in Ireland were not suitable for growing the potatoD the potato harvest was bad.该问题分值: 2答案:D14.Coffee originally came from ______.A BrazilB ColumbiaC EthiopiaD Arabia该问题分值: 2答案:C15.The Arabic legend is used to prove that ______.A coffee was first discovered by KaldiB coffee was first discovered by Kaldi’s goatsC coffee was first discovered in South American countriesD coffee drinks were first made by Arabs该问题分值: 2答案:APassage FourQuestions 16 to 20 are based on the following passage.Around the world more and more people are taking part in d angerous sports and activities. Of course, there have always been people who have looked for adventure ---- those who have climbed the highest mountains, explored unknown parts of the world or sailed in small boats across the greatest oc eans. Now, however, there are people who seek an immediate thrill from a risky activity which may only last a few min utes or even seconds.I would consider bungee jumping to be a good example of su ch an activity. You jump from a high place (perhaps a brid ge, or a hot-air balloon) 200 metres above the ground with an elastic rope tied to your ankles. You fall at up to 150 kilometres an hour till the rope stops you from hitting the ground. It is estimated that 2 million people around the world have now tried bungee jumping. Other activities as risky as bungee jumping involve jumping from tall buildings and diving into the sea from the top of high cliffs. Why do people take part in such activities as these? Some psy chologists suggest that it is because life in modern societi es has become safe and boring. Not very long ago, people’s lives were constantly under threat. They had to go out an d hunt for food, diseases could not easily be cured, and l ife was a continuous battle for survival.Nowadays, according to many people, life offers little excite ment. They live and work in a comparatively safe environment ; they buy food in shops, and there aredoctors and hospitals to look after them if they become ill . The answer for some of these people is to seek danger i n activities such as bungee jumping.16.The best title for the passage would be ______.A Dangerous Sports: What and WhyB The Boredom of Modern LifeC Bungee Jumping: Is It Really Dangerous?D The Need for Excitement该问题分值: 2答案:D17.More and more people today ______.A are trying activities such as bungee jumpingB are climbing the highest mountainsC are coming close to death in sportsD are exploring unknown places该问题分值: 2答案:A18.In bungee jumping, you ______.A jump as high as you canB slide down a rope to the groundC attach yourself to a rope and fall towards the groundD fall towards the ground without a rope该问题分值: 2答案:C19.People probably take part in dangerous sports nowadays becaus e ______.A they have a lot of free timeB they can go to hospital if they are injuredC their lives lack excitementD they no longer need to hunt for food该问题分值: 2答案:C20.The writer of the passage has a ______ attitude towards dan gerous sports.A positiveB negativeC neutralD nervous该问题分值: 2答案:CPart II Vocabulary and Structure （共40小题，每小题1分，共40分）Directions: There are 40 incomplete sentences in this part.

Part Ⅰ Reading Comprehension (共60分) Section A (共20小题，每小题2分，共40分) Directions : In this part there are four passages. Each passage is followed by a number of comprehension questions. Read the passage and answer the questions. Then, mark your answer by blackening the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet. Passage 1 Questions 1 to 5 are based on the following passage. In the early days of the internet, many people worried that as people in the rich world embraced new computing and communications technologies, people in the poor world would be left stranded on the wrong side of a "digital divide." Yet the debate over the digital divide is founded on a myth - hat plugging poor countries into the internet will help them to become rich rapidly. This is highly unlikely, because the digital divide is not a problem in itself, but a symptom of deeper, more important divides: of income, development and literacy. Fewer people in poor countries than in rich ones own computers and have access to the internet simply because they are too poor, are illiterate, or have other more immediate concerns, such as food, health care and security. So even if it were possible to wave a magic wand and cause a computer to appear in every household on earth, it would not achieve very much: a computer is not useful if you have no food or electricity and cannot read. Yet such Wand-waving - through the construction of specific local infrastructure projects such as rural telecenters(远程计算中心) - is just the sort of thing for which the UN's new fund is intended. This sort of thing is the wrong way to go about addressing the inequality in access to digital technologies: it is treating the symptoms, rather than the underlying 姓名：报考学校：报考专业：------------------------------------------------------------------------------密封线-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------causes. The benefits of building rural computing centers, for example, are unclear. Rather than trying to close the divide for the sake of it, the more sensible goal is to determine how best to use technology to promote bottom-up development. And the answer to that question turns out to be remarkably clear: by promoting the spread not of PCs and the Internet, but of mobile phones.( )1. What is the main idea of this passage?A. Plugging poor countries into the Internet will help them to become richrapidly.B. Poor countries should be given more basic devices other than advanced ones.C. Rich countries should help poor ones becoming rich.D. People in poor countries cannot afford devices such as computer.( )2. What did the author mean by referring "digital divide." (Line 3, Para. 1)?A. Digital technology will make the gap between rich world and poor worldwider.B. Digital technology will divide people into rich and poor world.C. People can be divided digitally.D. To divide people in digital world is wrong.( )3. We can infer from the 2nd paragraph that.A. people in poor countries cannot use computer because of illiteracy.B. poor people cannot use computers.C. There would be no magic to cause a computer to appear in every householdon earth.D. people in poor countries need more basic living conditions than computers. ( )4. Considering the following sentences, which one would the author most agree?A. Digital technology is useless.B. Digital divide will help poor countries becoming rich.C. Poor people need more immediate concerns, such as food, health care andsecurity.D. Mobile phones should be promoted firstly.( )5. The following passage will probably be:A. How to promote using of mobile phones.B. How to use technology to promote bottom-up development.C. The benefits of building rural computing centers.D. How to meet the need of food, health and security in poor countries. Passage 2Questions 6 to 10 are based on the following passage.Faces, like fingerprints, are unique. Did you ever wonder how it is possible for us to recognize people. Even a skilled writer probably could not describe all the features that make one face different from another. Yet a very young child-or even an animal, such as a pigeon-can learn to recognize faces, we all take this ability for granted.We also tell people apart by how they behave. When we talk about someone’s personality, we mean the ways in which he or she acts, speaks thinks and feels that make that individual different from others.Like the human face, human personality is very complex. But describing someone’s personality in words is somewhat easier than describing his face. If you were asked to describe what a “nice face” looked like, you probably would have a difficult time doing so. But if you were asked to describe a “nice person”, you might begin to think about someone who was kind considerate, friendly, warm, and so forth.There are many words to describe how a person thinks, feels and acts. Gordon Allport, an American psychologist, found nearly 18,000 English words characterizing differences in people’s behavior. And many of us use this information as a basis for describing, or typing, his personality. Bookworms, conservatives, military types-people are described with such terms.People have always tried to “type” each other. Actors in early Greek drama wore masks to show the audience whether they played the villain’s (坏人) or the hero’s role. In fact, the words “person” and “personality” come from the Latin persona, meaning “mask”. Today, most television and movie actors do not wear masks. But we can easily tell the “good guys” from the “bad guys” because the two types d iffer in appearance as well as inactions.( )6. By using the example of finger prints, the author tells us that ________.A. people can learn to recognize facesB. people have different personalitiesC. people have difficulty in describing the features of finger printsD. people differ from each other in facial features( )7. According to this passage, some animals have the gift of ________.A. telling people apart by how they behaveB. typing each otherC. telling good people from had peopleD. recognizing human faces( )8. Who most probably knows best how to describe people’s personality?A. The ancient Greek audienceB. The movie actorsC. PsychologistsD. The modern TV audience( )9. According to the passage, it is possible for us tell one type of person from another because ________.A. people differ in their behavioral and physical characteristicsB. human fingerprints provide unique informationC. people’s behavior can be easily described in wordsD. human faces have complex features( )10. W hich of the following is the major point of the passage?A. Why it is necessary to identify people’s personalityB. Why it is possible to describe peopleC. How to get to know peopleD. How best to recognize peoplePassage3Questions 11 to 15 are based on the following passage.In the old day, children were familiar with birth and death as part of life. This is perhaps the first generation of American youngsters(年轻人) who have never been close by during the birth of a baby and have never experienced the death of a family member.Nowadays when people grow old, we often send them to nursing homes. When they get sick, we transfer them to a hospital, where children are forbidden to visit terminally ill patients-even when those patients are their parents. This deprives(剥夺) the dying patient of significant family members during the last few days of his life and it deprives the children of an experience of death, which is an important learning experience.Some of my colleagues and I once interviewed and followed approximately 500 terminally ill patients in order to find out what they could teach us and how we could be of more benefit, not just to them but to the members of their families as well. We are most impressed by the fact that even those patients who were not told of their serious illness were quite aware of its potential outcome.It is important for family members, and doctors and nurses to understand these patient s’ communications in order to truly understand their needs, fears, and fantasies (幻想). Most of our patients welcomed another human being with whom they could talk openly, honestly, and frankly about their trouble. Many of them shared with us their tremendous need to be informed, to be kept up-to-date on their medical condition and to be told when the end was near. We found out that patients who had been dealt with openly and frankly were better able to cope with the approach of death and finally to reach a true stage of acceptance prior to death.( )11. The elders of contemporary Americans ________.A. were often absent when a family member was born or dyingB. were quite unfamiliar with birth and deathC. usually witnessed the birth or death of a family memberD. had often experienced the fear of death as part of life( )12. Children in America today are denied the chance ________.A. to learn how to face deathB. to visit dying patientsC. to attend to patientsD. to have access to a hospital( )13. Five hundred critically ill patients were investigated with the main purpose of ________.A. observing how they reacted to the crisis of deathB. helping them and their families overcome the fear of deathC. finding out their attitude towards the approach of deathD. learning how to best help them and their families( )14.The need of a dying patient for company shows ________.A. his desire for communication with other peopleB. his fear of approaching deathC. his pessimistic attitude towards his conditionD. his reluctance to part with his family( )15.It may be concluded from the passage that ________.A. dying patients are afraid of being told of the approach of deathB. most doctors and nurses understand what dying patients needC. dying patients should be truthfully informed of their conditionD. most patients are unable to accept death until it is obviously inevitable Passage 4Questions16 to 20 are based on the following passage."The land of the free and the home of the brave," these closing words of the U.S. national anthem, "The Star Spangled Banner" (星条旗歌), sum up the ideals that many citizens of the United States have for their country. Ideals and values play an important role in the cultural life of the United States, just as they do in any country. One of the most important ideals of the United States -- and an important part of the way many people in the United States see themselves -- is that of freedom. From the time of the American Revolution, when the colonists declared independence from England, the Untied States has attracted people seeking freedom.A second ideal of great importance in the United States is that of rule by the people. The framers of the Constitution of the United States strove to ensure that political power would lie in the hands of the voters, not a king or dictator. So they created a federal government composed of three branches -- legislative, executive, and judicial -- to prevent any one part of the government from becoming too powerful.Another key value in the United States is that of the rights of the individual. The Bill of Rights is intended to safeguard the fights of the individual and guarantee protection from unjust treatment by the government or the majority. The importance of this protection is reflected in newspaper articles about violations of individual rights. Family, minority group, worker, student, and professional issues often center on questions of individual rights.However, individuals and groups together struggle for prominence in the United States today. For all of the importance of individualism, group identity also plays an important role in people's cultural values.( )16. What is the ideal upheld in the US national anthem?____A. Freedom.B. Struggle.C. Equality.D. Solidarity.( )17. Which of the following statements is True about freedom?____A. It was brought into the United States from England.B.

For Questions21-25, choose the most suitable one from the list A-G to fit into each of the numbered gaps. There are two extra choices, which you do not need to use in any of the blanks.In cities with rent control, the city government sets the maximum rent that a landlord can charge for an apartment. Supporters of rent control argue that it protects people who are living in apartments. Their rent cannot increase; therefore, they are not in danger of losing their homes. However, the critics say that after a long time, rent control may have negative effects. Landlords know that they cannot increase their profits. Therefore, they invest in other businesses where they can increase their profits. They do not invest in new buildings which would also be rent-controlled. As a result, new apartments are not built. (21)(22) The federal government sets the minimum that an employer must pay workers. The minimum helps people who generally look for unskilled, low-paying jobs. However, if the minimum is high, employers may hire fewer workers. They will replace workers with machinery. The price, which is the wage that employers must pay, increases. (23) Thus, critics claim, an increase in the minimum wage may cause unemployment. Some poor people may find themselves without jobs instead of with jobs at the minimum wage.Supporters of the minimum wage say that it helps people keep their dignity. Because of the law, workers cannot sell their services for less than the minimum. Furthermore, employers cannot force workers to accept jobs at unfair wages.Economic theory predicts the results of economic decisions such as decisions about farm production, rent control, and the minimum wage. The predictions may be correct only if “other things are equal”. (24) They also do not agree on the value of different decisions. Some economists support a particular decision while others criticize it. (25)[A] Therefore, other things being equal, the number of workers that employers want decreases.[B] Many people who need apartments cannot find any. According to the critics, the end result of rent control is a shortage of apartments in the city.[C]Economic costs, which include opportunity costs, are benefits that are lost because of having made a choice.[D] Some theorists argue that the minimum wage law can cause problems in the same way.[E]Economic rent comes into the picture when a factor of production is already making more in its current employment than it could make in its next best use.[F] Economists do not agree on some of the predictions.[G] Economists do agree, however, that there are no simple answers to economic questions.Section C Banked Cloze (从15个选项中选择10个，每空格1分，共10分)Directions:In this section, there is a passage with ten blanks.

Once you are in the habit of rushing through lift, being on the go from morning till night, it is hard to slow down. But relaxation is essential for a healthy mind and body. Stress is a natural part of everyday lift and there is no way to avoid it. In fact, it is not the bad thing it is often supposed to be .A certain amount of stress is vital to provide motivation and give purpose to life. It is only when the stress gets out of control that it can lead to poor performance and ill health.The amount of stress a person can withstand depends very much on the individual. Some people are not afraid of stress, and such characters are obviously prime material for managerial responsibilities. Others lose heart at the first signs of unusual difficulties. When exposed to stress, in whatever form, we react both chemically and physically. In fact we make choice between "fight" or "flight" and in more primitive days the choice made the difference between life or death. The crises we meet today are unlikely to be so extreme, but however little the stress, it involves the same response. It is when such a reaction lasts long, through continued exposure to stress, that health becomes endangered. Such serious conditions as high blood pressure and heart disease have established links with stress. Since we cannot remove stress from our lives (it would be unwise to do so even if we could), we need to find ways to deal with it.Questions:56. People are finding less and less time for relaxing themselves because .57. According to the writer, the most important character for a good manager ishis .58. In Paragraph 2, what does "such a reaction" mean?59. What serious conditions have established links with stress?60.

Reading (60%)(1)Passage OneTable top magic requires no secret formula．Even the simplest meal will be received with enthusiasm if the table accessories are creative and colorful．No matter what type of dinnerware you own，you can enhance its beauty with a variety of attractive table linens．When selecting a supply of tablecloths，place mats and napkins，choose easy—care or permanent—press fabrics because these fabrics will reduce your workload when washday rolls around．Another consideration is the suitability of your linens for your dining style or the types of entertaining you do．The shape of your table will also dictate the kind of tablecloth you purchase．Circular or rounded tables look best covered with round or oval tablecloths．Square—cornered tables require squares or rectangles．Finally，your table linens should complement your dinnerware．An elegant table setting requires an elegant tablecloth．A setting of stoneware looks best with heavy of colorful fabrics．But sure to take all the necessary measurements before you start shopping for fabric of your choice．It could be embarrassing if your tablecloths are not long enough to cover the tables．It is equally distressing if your tablecloth is so long that your guests have to watch where they walk．{TS}Linens should complement your dinnerware．The underlined word means______．A. be the same color asB. hide defects inC. go well withD. serve as a contrast to(2)Tile author suggests that you purchase table linens made of______．A. bleacsafe fabricB. preshrunk clothC. easy—care materialD. stain—resistant cotton(3)Which size tablecloth would you buy for a circular table which is 30 inches high and 45 inches in diameter?A. 45-inch rounB. 50-inch rounC. 70-inch rounD. 120-inch roun(4)From this passage，we can conclude that table top______．A. is important for meal serviceB. is a magicC. should be colorfulD. should be made only by certain material(5)Passage TwoThe thought of not sleeping for twenty-four hours or more is not a pleasant one for most people．The amount of sleep that each person needs varies．In general, each of us needs about eight hours of sleep each day to keep our bodies healthy and happy．Some people, however, can get by just a few hours of sleep at night．It doesn't matter when or how much a person sleeps．But everyone needs some rest to stay alive．Few doctors would have thought that there might be an exception on this．Sleep is, after all, a very basic need．But a man named AI Herpin turned out to be a real exception, for supposedly, he never slept !A1 Herpin was 90 years old when doctors came to his home in New Jersey．They hoped to negate the claims that he never slept．But they were surprised．Though they watched him every hour of the day, they never saw Herpin sleeping．He did not even own a bed．He never needed one．The closest that Herpin came to resting was to sit in a rocking chair and read a half dozen news- papers．His doctors were baffled by this strange case of permanent insomnia．Herpin offered the only clue to his condition．He remembered some talk about his mother having been injured several days be- fore he had been born．Herpin died at the age of 94, never having slept a wink．{TS}This passage centers on______A. dream interpretationB. patterns of sleepC. A1 Herpin's sleepless lifeD. sleeps and dreams(6)The expression“get by”, in the last sentence of the first paragraph is______A. a confusing expressionB. a rude expressionC. an everyday expressionD. an improper expression(7)A1 Herpin's condition could be regarded as______A. normalB. curableC. healthfulD. rare(8) The most likely reason on Herpion's insomnia was______A. his mother's injury before he was bornB. that he never got tiredC. his magnificent physical conditionD. that he got enough rest rocking(9)Passage ThreeAmericans are well known for the strange diets they always seem to be following．It seems that Americans like to diet almost as much as they like to eat．New types of diet plans are always coming out．Usually, though, they don't stay popular for long．There are many diets on the market．It is often difficult to know which ones really work．It's also hard to believe how fast a dieter is supposed to shed pounds．A lot has been written about dieting．And some interesting facts about diets and foods have been discovered．For example, did you know that the more celery you eat, the more weight you will lose? Celery has “negative”calories．The body burns up more calories digesting a piece of celery than there are in the celery stick itself．Dieters shun potatoes because they think they are fattening．But they aren't．A potato has about the same number of calories as an apple．To gain a single pound, you would have to eat eleven pounds of potatoes !Some dieters even worry about getting fat from licking postage stamps．But they have nothing to worry about．The glue on an average stamp has only about one-tenth of a calorie．Maybe a diet of post- age stamps would be popular?{TS}This passage is all about______A. vegetablesB. fadsC. AmericansD. dieting(10)Celery is a good food for the dieter because______A. it has a lot of proteinB. vegetables are not fatteningC. it has “negative” caloriesD. it is easy to digest(11)The shun is to______A. loveB. hateC. avoidD. fear(12)One could conclude from this passage that______A. dieting is not a healthy practiceB. everyone dietsC. there is only one good way to lose weightD. dieting can be confusing(13)Passage FourHow can we get rid of garbage? Do we have enough energy sources to meet our future energy needs?These are two important questions that many people are asking today．Some people think that man might be able to solve both problems at the same time, They suggest using garbage as an energy source, and at the same time it can save the land to hold garbage．For a long time, people buried garbage or dumped it on empty land．Now, empty land is scarce．But more and more garbage is produced each year．However, garbage can be a good fuel to use．The things in garbage do not look like coal, petroleum, or natural gas; but they are chemically similar to these fossil fuels．As we use up our fossil-fuel supplies, we might be able to use garbage as an energy source．Burning garbage is not a new idea．Some cities in Europe and the United States have been burning garbage for years．The heat that is produced by burning garbage is used to boil water．The steam that is produced is used to make electricity or to heat nearby, buildings．In Paris, France, some power plants burn almost 2 million metric tons of the cities garbage each year．The amount of energy produced is about the same as would be produced by burning almost a half million barrels of oil．Our fossil fuel supplies are limited．Burning garbage might be one kind of energy source that we can use to help meet our energy needs．This method could also reduce the amount if garbage piling up on the earth．{TS}What two problems can man solve by burning garbage?A. The shortage of energy and air pollutioB. The shortage of energy and the land to hold garbagC. Air pollution and the shortage of fossil fueD. Air pollution and the shortage of land to hold garbag(14)According to the passage, using garbage is______A. for heating in France each yearB. a new way in a modern societyC. a good way to solve the problem of energy shortageD. too expensive as an energy source(15)What is the author's attitude?A. DelighteB. SaC. AgreeinD. Disagreein(16) The best title for the passage may be______A. Garbage and the EarthB. Fossil Fuel and GarbageC. Land and GarbageD. Garbage? Energy Source(17)Passage FiveIn 1924, Nordic ski events were held at the first Winter Olympics in Chamonix, France．But the American skiers came home without medals．Norway took most of the medals for cross-country and ski jumping events that year．They did the same for many years after．From 1924 through 1972, the American skiers had no medals to show for their Olympic trips．The U．S．was generally thought to be weak in ski competitionBut in 1974 it was discovered that the U．S．record was slightly better than people had been led to believe．And Norway's record was not quite as good．The discovery was a surprise and a delight to American ski fans, but even more so to American skier Anders Haugen．After fifty years, Anders got the medal he should have won back in 1924．In the ski jump event at Chamonix in 1924, Haugen had scored in fourth place．He had just missed earning a medal．His score was 17．916, just slightly behind Thorleif Haug of Norway．Haug's score of 18 had won him the bronze medal．But in 1974, Norway's National Olympic Committee did a check of all final Olympic results．There had been an error in computing Haug's score!

And 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 your 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 hope. The cupboards in her kitchen were full of things that she did not need. In vain, her husband tried to dissuade her. She dreamed of the day when the manager of the supermarket would come to her and say: “Madam, this is your 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 some 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 come to her. “Madam,” he said, holding o ut his hand, “I want to congratulate you! You are our lucky customer and everything you have in your basket is free!”26. The housewives who went to the supermarket were .A. poorB. hopefulC. fortunateD. anxious27.

They can do many things such as teaching, playing games or helping with a business, so choosing a computer is not an easy, simple job. But if you follow these steps, you will find it easier.First, decide on the main reasons why you want a computer. Is this computer very useful for you? Is the most important reason to play games or to help you with your business or to help you with your school work?Second, look carefully at the programs the computer can use. Some people also write their own programs. If you want to write your own, it is important to look at the computer language. Is it easy to learn?Third, decide the smallest, or the least needs you have for your computer. What are the characteristics you would like to have? For example, do you want a typewriter keyboards? Is a color display important to you? Your use of the computer will help you decide which characteristics are necessary, which are nice, and which are unnecessary.Fourth, when you have limited your choices to a few computers, look at the secondary uses and programs. For example, if your main reason for buying a home computer is to play games, you may take computer A instead of computer B because computer A also can be used as a word processor.Fifth, think of the price. There are prices to think about. The first price is the price you must pay to take the computer home. The second is the price of additional programs and possible additions that you might want to buy at a later date.Be sure to try out the computer before you buy it. Sales people at computer shops are happy to help you choose the computer that will best fit your needs and cost you least.31. How to select a computer.

This passage tells us .A. about computersB. how to buy a computerC. what computers are good to useD. which computers are expensivePassage IVMost people can remember a phone number for up to thirty seconds. When this short amount of time elapses, however, the numbers are erased from the memory. How did the information get there in the first place? Information that makes its way to the short term memory (STM) does so via the sensory storage area. The brain has a filter which only allows stimuli that is of immediate interest to pass on to the STM, also known as the working memory.There is much debate about the capacity and duration of the short term memory. The most accepted theory comes from George A. Miller, a cognitive psychologist who suggested that humans can remember approximately seven chunks of information. A chunk is defined as a meaningful unit of information, such as a word or name rather than just a letter or number. Modern theorists suggest that one can increase the capacity of the short term memory by chunking, or classifying similar information together. By organizing information, one can optimize the STM, and improve the chances of a memory being passed on to long term storage.When making a conscious effort to memorize something, such as information for an exam, many people engage in “rote rehearsal”. By repeating something over and over again, we are able to keep amemory alive. Unfortunately, this type of memory maintenance only succeeds if there are no interruptions. As soon as a person stops rehearsing the information, it has the tendency to disappear. When a pen and paper are not handy, you might attempt to remember a phone number by repeating it aloud. If the doorbell rings or the dog barks to come in before you get the opportunity to make your phone call, you will forget the number instantly. Therefore, rote rehearsal is not an efficient way to pass information from the short term to long term memory. A better way is to practice “elaborate rehearsal”. This involves assigning semantic meaning to a piece of information so that it can be filed along with other pre-existing long term memories.Encoding information semantically also makes it more retrievable. Retrieving information can be done by recognition or recall. Humans can recall memories that are stored in the long term memory and used often. However, if a memory seems to be forgotten, it may eventually be retrieved by prompting. The more cues a person is given (such as pictures), the more likely a memory can be retrieved. This is why multiple choice tests are often used for subjects that require a lot of memorization.36. According to the passage, how do memories get transferred to the STM?A) They revert from the long term memory.B) They are filtered from the sensory storage area.C) They get chunked when they enter the brain.D) They enter via the nervous system.37.
