For each of them there are 4 choices marked A, B, C and D.Choose the best one and mark your answer on the ANSWER SHEET with a singleline through the center.Passage OneAre some people born clever and others born stupid? Or is intelligence developed by our environment and our experience? Strangely enough, the answer to these questions is yes. To some extent our intelligence is given us at birth, and no amount of special education can make a genius out of a child born with intelligence. On the other hand, a child who lives in a boring environment will develop his intelligence less than one who lives in rich and varied surroundings. Thus the limits of a person’s intelligence are fixed at birth, whether or not he reached those limits will depend on his environment. This view, now held by most experts, can be supported in a number of ways.It is easy to show that intelligence is to some extent something we are born with. The closer the blood relationship between two people, the closer they are likely to be in intelligence. Thus if we take two unrelated people at random from the population it is likely that their degree of intelligence will be completely different. If, on the other hand, we take two identical twins, they will very likely be as intelligent as each other. Relations like brothers and sisters, parents and children, usually have similar intelligence, and this clearly suggests that intelligence depends on birth.Imagine now that we take two identical twins and put them in different environments. We might send one, for example, to a university and the other to a factory where the work is boring. We would soon find differences in intelligence developing, and this indicates that environment as well as birth plays a part. This conclusion is also suggested by the fact that people who live in close contact with each other, but who are not related at all are likely to have similar degree of intelligence.16.The writer is in favor of the view that man’s intelligence is given to him __________.A.at birthB.through educationC.both at birth and through educationD.more at birth than through education17.If a child is born with low intelligence he can __________.A.never become a geniusB.still become a genius if he should be given special educationC.exceed his intelligence limits in rich surroundingsD.not exceed his intelligence limits even in rich surroundings18.In the second paragraph “if we take two unrelated people at random from the population--”means if we __________.A.pick any two personsB.take out two different personsC.choose two persons who are relativeD.choose two persons with different intelligence19.The example of the twins going to a university and to a factory separately shows __________.A.the importance of their intelligenceB.the role of environment on intelligenceC.the importance of their positionD.the part that birth places20.The best title of this passage can be __________.A.SurroundingsB.IntelligenceC.Dependence on EnvironmentD.Effect of EducationPassage TwoBefore the grass has thickened on the roadside verges and leaves have started growing on the trees it is a perfect time to look around and see just how dirty Britain has become. The pavements are stained with chewing gum that has been spat out and the gutters are full of discarded fast food cartons. Years ago I remember travelling abroad and being saddened by the plastic bags, discarded bottles and soiled nappies at the edge of every road. Nowadays, Britain seems to look at least as bad. What has gone wrong?The problem is that the rubbish created by our increasingly mobile lives lasts a lot longer than before. If it is not cleared up and properly thrown away, it stays in the undergrowth for years;a semi-permanent reminder of what a tatty little country we have now.Firstly, it is estimated that 10 billion plastic bags have been given to shoppers. These will take anything from 100 to 1,000 years to rot. However, it is not as if there is no solution to this. A few years ago, the Irish government introduced a tax on non-recyclable carrier bags and in three months reduced their use by 90%. When he was a minister, Michael Meacher attempted to introduce a similar arrangement in Britain. The plastics industry protested, of course. However, they need not have bothered; the idea was killed before it could draw breath, leaving supermarkets free to give away plastic bags.What is clearly necessary right now is some sort of combined effort, both individual and collective, before it is too late. The alternative is to continue sliding downhill until we have a country that looks like a vast municipal rubbish tip. We may well be at the tipping point. Yet we know that people respond to their environment. If things around them are clean and tidy, people behave cleanly and tidily. If they are surrounded by squalor, they behave squalidly. Now, much of Britain looks pretty squalid. What will it look like in five years?21.The writer says that it is a good time to see Britain before the trees have leaves becauseA. Britain looks perfect.B. you can see Britain at its dirtiest.C. you can see how dirty Britain is now.D. the grass has thickened on the verges.22.According to the writer, things used to be___________.A. worse abroad.B. the same abroad.C. better abroad.D. worse, but now things are better abroad.23.To solve the problem of plastic bags, Michael Meacher__________A. followed the Irish example with a tax on plastic bags.B. tried to follow the Irish example with a tax on plastic bags.C. made no attempt to follow the Irish example with a tax on plastic bags.D. had problems with the plastics industry who weren't bothered about the tax.24.As to what can be done, the writer thinks __________A. it is too late to do anything.B. we are at the tipping point.C. there is more than one way to solve the problem.D. we need to work together to solve the problem.25.The writer thinks that__________A. people are squalid.B. people behave according to what they see around them.C. people are clean and tidy.D. people are like a vast municipal rubbish tip.Passage ThreeThe men who planned and constructed the first American railroads were men of great vision. They predicted that their “iron horses” would open vast expanses of land to farming and industry. They knew that towns would spring up along the new railroads. Yet few of these pioneers could have guessed that American railroads would establish the system of time used throughout most of the world today.Until the 1880s, all time in the United States was sun time. Farmers set their clocks to noon when the sun appeared to be overhead. In towns, people set their clocks by a courthouse clock orfactory whistles. One town’s time was often different from the time in a neighboring town.As the new railroads expanded, large numbers of people began to travel. But the railroads were unable to print accurate timetables when most towns along their tracks have their clocks set differently. There was need for a change, and the railroads led in planning it.In 1883, railroads in the United States and Canada adopted standard time, a system which divided the continent into four time zones. Within each zone, all railroad clocks were set to an identical time. When it was noon in the Eastern Zone, it was nine o’clock in the Pacific Zone. Railroad time signals were sent out by the newly-invented telegraph.Standard time quickly spread. Traveling businessmen set their watches to correspond to the railroad clocks. Factories and schools followed the railroad’s lead. Soon, nearly everyone in the United States and Canada was using the four-zone time system – standard time.Today, nearly all the world keeps standard time according to an international system of twenty-four time zones.26.Implied but not directly stated: ___________.A.Farmers set their clocks according to the factory whistlesB.The correct time was not too important before the 1800sC.Only people who traveled on trains ever knew timeD. A standard system was set up by the pioneers27.On the whole, the article tells about __________.A.pioneers who rode on “iron horses”rge numbers of people who traveledC.the establishment of standard timeD.the accurate timetable in the United States28.Which statement does this article lead you to believe?A.Accurate timetelling is important in many industries.B.Accurate time is important only in the United States.C.Accurate time is owned by the men who built railroads.D.Accurate time is owned by pioneers.29.Why weren’t railroads able to print accurate timetables?A.Towns along the tracks set their clocks differently.B.No one was able to read timetables that were accurate.C.Farmers preferred to read the sun instead of timetables.D.Railroad workers had no watches.30.What does the word “identical” mean?A.differentB.difficultC.similarD.understandablePassage FourUntil recently, women in advertisements were one of three things – an apron, a glamorous dress or a frown. Although that is now changing, many women still feel angry enough to deface offending advertisements with stickers protesting. “This ad degrades women.” Why does this sort of advertising exist? How can advertisers and ad agencies produce, sometimes, after months of research, advertisements that offend the consumer?The advertising Standards Authority (the body which deals with complaint about print media) is carrying out research into how women feel about the way they are portrayed in advertisements. Its conclusions are likely to be what the advertising industry already knows; although women are often irritated by the way they are seen in ads, few feel strongly enough to complain.Women are not only the victims of poor and boring stereotypes – in many TV commercials men are seen neither as useless, childish oafs who are unable to perform the simplest household tasks, or as in considerate boors, permanently on the lookout for an escape to the pub. But it is women who seem to bear the impact of the industry’s apparent inability to put people into an authentic present-day context.Yet according to Emma Bennett, executive creative director of a London advertising agency, women are not infuriated by stereotypes and sexist advertising. It tends to wash over them. They are not militant or angry – they just find it annoying or tiresome. They reluctantly accept outdated stereotypes, but heave a sigh of relief when an advertisement really gets it right.She says that it is not advertising’s use of the housewife role that bothers women, but the way in which it’s handled. “Researchers have often asked the wrong questions. The most important thing is the advertisement’s tone of voice. Women hate being patronized, flattered or given desperately down-to-earth commonsense advice.”In the end, the responsibility for good advertising must be shared between the advertiser, the advertising agency and the consumer. Advertising does not set trends but it reflects them. It is up to the consumers to tell advertisers where they fail, and until people on the receiving end take the business seriously and make their feelings known, the process of change will remain laboriously slow.31.Despite recent changes in attitudes, some advertisements still fail to __________.A.change women’s opinions of themselvesB.show any understanding of people’s feelingsC.persuade the public to buy certain productsD.meet the needs of the advertising products32.According to the writer, the commonest fault of present-day advertising is to __________.A.condemn the role of the housewifeB.ignore protests about advertisementC.present a misleading image of womenD.meet the needs of the advertising industry33.Research suggests that the reaction of women towards misrepresentation by advertisements is__________.A.indifferenceB.hostilityC.consentD.unbelief34.Emma Bennett suggests that advertisement ought to __________.A.give further emphasis on practicee male images instead of female onesC.change their style rather than their contentD.pay more compliments to women than before35.Ultimately the advertising industry should __________.A.take its job more earnestlyB.do more pioneering workC.take notice of the public opinionD.concentrate on the products advertisedPart III Vocabulary and Structure (20 points)Directions: There are 40 incomplete sentences in this part.

Choose the best one and mark your answer on the ANSWER SHEET.Passage OneKids often ask Scout Bassett, of Palm Desert, California, if she wishes she had two normal legs. Bassett, 18,answers,“ nNeov.e I rh kanvoew n anything different, and it would seem weirdto me. Besides, if it weren 't for the missing leg, I wouldn ' t have the opportunities I have ” Scout has faced big challenges. When she was months old, she suffered from terrible burns.Her right leg was especially damaged, and doctors cut it off above the knee. When she was 14, she got a high-tech leg made for sports and put it to the test right away in a race for disabled athletes. “I remember being terrified because this was my first time,” she says ‘. you ” But my doctor said, have to start somewhere.'”Scout was waiting nervously for the race to start when athlete Sarah Reinertsen came up andsaid, ” I ' ve been doing this for a while. Let me give you some tips. ” Reinertsen, who lost her le when she was seven, is the first disabled woman to have finished the Ironman triathlon （ 铁人三项 ）in Hawaii. She works with an organization to help support people like Scout.Reinertsen 's encouragement changed the teenager 's life. She lost that first race, but gainedthe confidence that she needed to compete. If Sarah could do it, she could too. Training hard, she now runscompetitively and also finds time to share her story with school groups.“ Sometimesp eople look at someone like me or at Sarah and think they have nothing incommon with us. I tell them that even if you aren 't physically challenged, everybody has challenges of some kind--- maybe with family, or homework, or friends. ” “ No matter what it is, steps. As time goes by, the steps will get bigger and you will reach your dream.16． Why does Scout answer “ No ” when asked if she wants two normal legs?A. She 's scared of changing her current situation.B. She couldn 't have them even if she wanted to.C. She has never thought of it before.D. She 's satisfied with what she has achieved as a disabled.17. What does the doctor mean by sayingA. She has to do it sooner or later.B. She has to find the right place to to start.C. That will be a memorable first time.D. That is a perfect time to start.18. Scout 's childhood experience _______ .A. were the cause of her shynessB. were a nightmare until she reached 14C. didn 't stop her from fulfilling herself.D. didn 't have much influence on her later life.19. Which of the following statements is true?A. Sarah shared her story with school students.B. Sarah started to compete at the age of seven.C. Scout has been inspired by Sarah 's success.D. Scout joined Sarah 's organization to help others.20. Through Scout 's story, the author wants to tell us _________A. the disabled are mentally stronger than othersB. inner strength can help one overcome difficulties you can overcome that obstacle, she says. yo “u nEeveedr yisth ii n sgid e your heart. Take smallYou have to start somewhereC.good things will come no matter whatD.everybody has to challenge himselfPassage TwoIMPATIENCE has been around for a long time. There is nothing new about people losing their patience while stuck in traffic or waiting in line. But some experts believe that people are less patient today than in the past-and for reasons that might surprise you.Some analysts suggest that in recent years many people are less patient because of technology. They suggest that “ digital technology, from cellphones to cameras to email toa idPs,is changing our lives. The instant results we get from this technology have in turn increased our desire for instant gratification in other aspects of our lives. ”Psychologist Jennifer Hartstein makes some observations. She explains that “ weh ave become an immediate satisfaction culture, and we expect things to move quickly, efficiently and in the way we want. When that doesn't happen, we tend to become increasingly frustrated and unsatisfied.Some believe that e-mail is losing popularity and could soon become outdated. Why? Because many people who send messages do not have the patience to wait hours, or even minutes, for a response. Also, with e-mails, as with letter writing, introductory and concluding greetings are often expected. But many people consider such formalities （客套）to be boring and time-consuming.

For each of them . there are 4 choices marked A, B, C and D. Choose the best one and mark your answer on the ANSWER SHEET with a single line through the center.Passage oneM ichael Phelps has already been considered by some as the greatest all-around competitor in the history of his sport. At the 2023 U.S. Trials, Phelps qualified for Athens in six individual events across every possible stroke. He finally earned five titles of Olympic champion. Should Phelps match Mark Spitz’s record in Athens or Beijing in 2023, he will earn a ＄1 million bonus from his sponsor. Michael Phelps was born to June 30, 1985. His father was a good athlete, and passed his ability on to his kids.Michael’s coach told Michaelc’s mother that her son was a raretelent.Long-limbed with big hands and feet, he took to instruction very well, loved to work hard and never seemed nervous is competition. By all accounts, his frame is perfect for a swimmer. His big hands and feet are like paddles in the water. The butterfly is his signature stroke, but he’s shown the ability to dominate in any event.In 1999,Michael broke a record in the 200-meter butterfly for the 20-year-old age group at th Junior Nationals.At 15, Michael became the youngest swimmer to compete Sydney Olympics for the U.S.in 68 years. In an astonishing performance, he medaled six times and set five world records. Michael won the 200-meter butterfly with a new world mark, and also turned in record times in the 100-meter butterfly and 200-meter individual medley (混合泳)—doing so on the same day, which was a first in swimming history.Outside of his swimming career,Michael was a normal teenager.He didn’t like getting out of the bed in the morning; but refused to slow down once his day began.Michael has his sights set on more than Olympic glory.He wants to transform his sport the way other great athletes like Michael Jordan and Tiger Woods have.16.Which of the following is the biggest achievement of Michael Phelps so far?A. An all-around competitor in the history of swimming.B. Breaking of a record in the 200-meter butterfly.C. Six individual events across every possible stroke.D. Five titles of Olympic champion.17. From Paragraph 1 it can be inferred that the passage waswritten_______.A. right in 2023B. at a time between 2023 and 2023C. just before Athens 2023D. immediately after Athens 202318. Michael Phelps turned to be the youngest American swimmer_______.A. in 1999, when he broke a record in the 200-meter butterflyB. in 2023,when he attended Athens 2023C. in 2023, when he attended Sydney OlympicsD. in an astonishing performance at home in the U.S.19. ________hating to get out of his bed in the morning, Michael Phelpswouldn’t slow down once his day began.A. AsB. ThoughC. OnceD. Despite of20. The last sentence of the passage tells us that Michael Phelps is soambitious as to ___________.A. win many more gold medals for the U.S.B. remake history of his sport like M.Jordan and T.WoodsC. become the greatest world record breaker in sport historyD. be by far the greatest sportsman with Olympic gloryPassage TwoMost personnel managers agree that job interviews are one of the least objective recruiment methods.But the advantages of testing are not going to change the attraction of the interview to employers . The appeal of the interview has everything to do with the human factor.Most people believe that they are a reasonable judge of character and trust their instinctive feeling. We might use some kind of test to aid theselection process, but we usually pick a candidate who interviews well, has good qualifications and impressive work record.But suppose the candidate lies or is less than completely honest. “This can be a serious problem for employers”, explains Alan Conrad, Chief Executive at Optimus Recruiment. “The most difficult liars to find are those who tell half-truths rather than complete lies.”Research shows that up to 75 percent of resumes are inaccurate on purpose. The most common practice is omission.Interviewer should therefore concentrate on areas of uncertainy such as gaps between periods of employment and job descriptions that seem strange. “Focusing on these areas will force candidates to tell the truth or become increasingly dishonest. This is usually when people signal their anxiety by their body language. Sweat on the upper lip, false smiles and nervous hand movements all indicate discomfort.”Conrad does not suggest an aggressive policy-style interview technique , but insists that close inspection of a resume is absolutely essential. Only by asking the right questions can you confirm the suitability of the candidate or put pressure on those who are being less than completely honest.21. The best title of this passage can be ___________.A. How to Catch Out the Dishonest CandidateB. How to Find a Job by TricksC. Disadvantages of Job InterviewsD. Advantages of Job Interviews22. The liars hard to recognize are those who tell___________.A. complete truthsB. complete liesC. partial truthsD. mainly truths23. How were the job applicants able to lie without being detected?A. By leaving out some necessary informationB. By providing more information than needed.C. By using their body language.D. By telling some unbelievable lies.24. In order to pick up a qualified and an honest candidate, Conradsuggests that we _____.A. examine the resumes carefullyB. inspect the candidates aggressivelyC. correct the resumes intentionallyD. compare one’s resume with others’25. What is the author’s attitude towards job interviews?A. Most objectiveB. Too subjective.C. SuspiciousD. Credulous.Passage ThreeOur world is wonderful with birds that are absolutely amazing and unbelievable.One kind of such birds is the coot—a clumsy bird so unloved that its name implies something of an old fool.”The bird has a remarkableability to recognize amd count its eggs,” says behavioral ec ologist Bruce Lyon of the University of California at Santa Cruz. Coots need to be tricky because of the nunsual way the animals. Compete: One coot will put its eggs secretly into another’s nest to trick the host into raising the invader’s eggs. But nest owners use their wits to fight back, Lyon finds.Over four summers, Lyon monitored 400 coot nests near Williams Lake in central British Columbia, tagging the eggs with a marker. Of these , 160 coot nests received eggs from unrelated coots. The hosts generally were not fooled, however,. About half the time, coot parents rejected thestrange eggs completely, usually by burying them deep in the nest.“Foreign eggs were not disappearing by chance ---and that can only mean the birds were recognizing them, ”Lyon says. Apparently , the coots were alerted by the unfamiliar colors and patterns on the foreign eggs. In other cases, the parents pushed the foreign eggs to an unfavorable position at the border area of the nest, where there is less heat for hatching.Even if a mother coot didn’t remove the foreign eggs from her nest, she continued to lay a normal hatch number of her own eggs, despite theapparent extra foreign eggs. Lyon thinks that means the coots somehow kept a count of both their own eggs an d the suspicious ones. “That coots can distinguish their own eggs from the foreign ones is a rare but very convincing example of counting wild animal world,” the ecologistconcluded.26. The meaning of the bird’s name “coot”probably is __________.A. wonderful and amazingB. unusual and remarkableC. secret and unbelievableD. old and silly27. In the passage, “foreign eggs” refers to _________.A. the eggs of the nest ownersB. the eggs of the invadersC.the eggs from foreign countriesD. the eggs unable to be hatched28. Which of the following is the particular way coots often compete?A. To steal some eggs from other nests.B. To put their own eggs into others’ nests.C. To hatch other coots’ eggs.D. To protect their own eggs.29. Which would the nest owners do with the foreign eggs according to thepassage?Ⅰ. Burying them deep in the nests.Ⅱ. Pushing them aside to an unfavorable area.Ⅲ. Hatching them as their own.A. Ⅰ.onlyB. Ⅱ.onlyC. Ⅰ.land Ⅱ.D. Ⅰ.,Ⅱ.and Ⅲ.30. Which of the following is the particular ability the ecologist believes thatthe coot has?A. To trick other coots.B. To fight back the tricks.C. To be alert to the foreign eggs.D. To recognize and count its owneggs.Passage FourNational Aviation and Space Administration (NASA) and its partners in the Inter-national Space Station have agreed in principle to let a 28-year-old South African become the second paying tourist on the orbitingoutpost, the U.S. space agency said on Tuesday.Internet magnate Mark Shuttleworth signed a contract on Dec.4 with the Russian Aviation and Space Agency(RASA) to fly aboard a Soyuz space taxi to the station in April 2023, almost exactly a year after lionaire Dennis Tito became the first to experience space as a paying guest.NASA spokeswoman Kristen Larson said by telephone:”We’ve agreed in principle to the flight of Mr. Shuttleworth. However, there are some final details that need to be taken of .”Larson would not say what detailsneeded resolving , but said the station’s international partners---including the space agencies of Russia, Europe, Japan and Canada---had drafted a set of requirements for space travelers covering “physical ability,psychological ability, language ability” and “length and appropriateness of training.”Outgoing commander Frank Culbertson of the space station said the new crew replacing his was going to be extremely busy. “The station is forworkers, and it puts an additional burden on the crew to have people up here that are not doing science or conducting experiments that areproductive. This is a workplace, a laboratory, a research facili ty,” he said. Space Adventures chief Eric Anderson said he could not disclose what Shuttleworth was paying for the trip, but added that a Russian official had been quoted as saying the price was no worse than Tito’s fare, which was widely reported to be ＄20 million.31. Who was the first space tourist according to the passage?A. Kristen Larson.B. Eric Anderson.C. Mark Shuttleworth.D. Dennis Tito.32. Which of the following is NOT included in the requirements for spacetravelers?A. Sufficient experience in conducting laboratory work.B. Enough long and proper training for flight.C. Mentally and physically healthy enough.D. Communicative skills in language.33. Why is the space station reluctant to receive more paying touristsaccording to Frank Culbertson?A. Because the space station is n’t big enough for the paying tourists.B. Because as a place for doing research, the staton should be highlyefficient.C. Because a paying tourist may be ignorant of the space research work.D. Because the paying tourists have to pay too much to gain spaceexperience.34. “An outgoing commander”can probably be one who __________.A. is extremely capableB. is going to be out of dutyC. is a supervisor over the space station workD. has his own crew members35.

In the first picture, the man is shown typing on his computer with a cup of coffee beside him, while in the second picture, his wife is looking worriedly at a clock and his children are waiting for him at the dinner table.The situation is likely happening because the man is under a lot of pressure at work and has a deadline to meet.

This is a common occurrence in today's society, where work demands often take precedence over family time.The implications of this situation are significant.

This could strain their relationships and have long-term effects on their emotional well-being.In conclusion, the pictures highlight the struggle many people face in balancing work and family life. It is essential to find a healthy work-life balance to ensure both personal and professional success and happiness.。

Each of the passages is followed by 5 questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are 4 choices marked A, B, C and D. Choose the best one and markyour answer on the ANSWER SHEET with a single line through the center.Passage OneAre some people born clever and others born stupid? Or is intelligence developed by our environment and our experience? Strangely enough, the answer to these questions is yes. To some extent our intelligence is given us at birth, and no amount of special education can make a genius out of a child born with intelligence. On the other hand, a child who lives in a boring environment will develop his intelligence less than one who lives in rich and varied surroundings. Thus the limits of a person s intelligence are fixed at birth, whether or not he reached those limits will depend on his environment. This view, now held by most experts, can be supported in a number of ways.It is easy to show that intelligence is to some extent something we are born with. The closer the blood relationship between two people, the closer they are likely to be in intelligence. Thus if we take two unrelated people at random from the population it is likely that their degree of intelligence will be completely different. If, on the other hand, we take two identical twins, they will very likely be as intelligent as each other. Relations like brothers and sisters, parents and children, usually have similar intelligence, and this clearly suggests that intelligence depends on birth.Imagine now that we take two identical twins and put them in different environments. We might send one, for example, to a university and the other to a factory where the work is boring. We would soon find differences in intelligence developing, and this indicates that environment as well as birth plays a part. This conclusion is also suggested by the fact that people who live in close contact with each other, but who are not related at all are likely to have similar degree of intelligence.16. The writer is in favor of the view that man 's intelligence is given to him.A. at birthB. through educationC. both at birth and through educationD. more at birth than through education17. If a child is born with low intelligence he can.A. never become a geniusB. still become a genius if he should be given special educationC. exceed his intelligence limits in rich surroundingsD. not exceed his intelligence limits even in rich surroundings18. In the second paragraph if we take two unrelated people at random from the population-- “ means if we.A. pick any two personsB. take out two different personsC. choose two persons who are relativeD. choose two persons with different intelligence19. The example of the twins going to a university and to a factory separately shows.A. the importance of their intelligenceB. the role of environment on intelligenceC. the importance of their positionD. the part that birth places20. The best title of this passage can be.A. SurroundingsB. IntelligenceC. Dependence on EnvironmentD. Effect of EducationPassage TwoBefore the grass has thickened on the roadside verges and leaves have started growing on the trees it is a perfect time to look around and see just how dirty Britain has become. The pavements are stained with chewing gum that has been spat out and the gutters are full of discarded fast food cartons. Years ago I remember travelling abroad and being saddened by the plastic bags, discarded bottles and soiled nappies at the edge of every road. Nowadays, Britain seems to look at least as bad. What has gone wrong?The problem is that the rubbish created by our increasingly mobile lives lasts a lot longer than before. If it is not cleared up and properly thrown away, it stays in the undergrowth for years; a semi-permanent reminder of what a tatty little country we have now.Firstly, it is estimated that 10 billion plastic bags have been given to shoppers. These will take anything from 100 to 1,000 years to rot. However, it is not as if there is no solution to this. A few years ago, the Irish government introduced a tax on non-recyclable carrier bags and in three months reduced their use by 90%. When he was a minister, Michael Meacher attempted to introduce a similar arrangement in Britain. The plastics industry protested, of course. However, they need not have bothered; the idea was killed before it could draw breath, leaving supermarkets free to give away plastic bags.What is clearly necessary right now is some sort of combined effort, both individual and collective, before it is too late. The alternative is to continue sliding downhill until we have a country that looks like a vast municipal rubbish tip. We may well be at the tipping point. Yet we know that people respond to their environment. If things around them are clean and tidy, people behave cleanly and tidily. If they are surrounded by squalor, they behave squalidly. Now, much of Britain looks pretty squalid. What will it look like in five years?21. The writer says that it is a good time to see Britain before the trees have leaves becauseA. Britain looks perfect.B. you can see Britain at its dirtiest.C. you can see how dirty Britain is now.D. the grass has thickened on the verges.22. According to the writer, things used to be.A. worse abroad.B. the same abroad.C. better abroad.D. worse, but now things are better abroad.23. To solve the problem of plastic bags, Michael MeacherA. followed the Irish example with a tax on plastic bags.B. tried to follow the Irish example with a tax on plastic bags.C. made no attempt to follow the Irish example with a tax on plastic bags.D. had problems with the plastics industry who weren't bothered about the tax.24. As to what can be done, the writer thinksA. it is too late to do anything.B. we are at the tipping point.C. there is more than one way to solve the problem.D. we need to work together to solve the problem.25. The writer thinks thatA. people are squalid.B. people behave according to what they see around them.C. people are clean and tidy.D. people are like a vast municipal rubbish tip.Passage ThreeThe men who planned and constructed the first American railroads were men of great vision. They predicted that their iron horses" would open vast expanses of land to farming and industry. They knew that towns would spring up along the new railroads. Yet few of these pioneers could have guessed that American railroads would establish the system of time used throughout most of the world today.Until the 1880s, all time in the United States was sun time. Farmers set their clocks to noon when the sun appeared to be overhead. In towns, people set their clocks by a courthouse clock or factory whistles. One town 's time was often different from the time in a neighboring town.As the new railroads expanded, large numbers of people began to travel. But the railroads were unable to print accurate timetables when most towns along their tracks have their clocks set differently. There was need for a change, and the railroads led in planning it.In 1883, railroads in the United States and Canada adopted standard time, a system which divided the continent into four time zones. Within each zone, all railroad clocks were set to an identical time. When it was noon in the Eastern Zone, it was nine o’ clock in the Pacific Zone. Railroad time signals were sent out by the newly-invented telegraph.Standard time quickly spread. Traveling businessmen set their watches to correspond to the railroad clocks. Factories and schools followed the railroad ’ s lead. Soon, nearly everyone in the United States and Canada was using the four-zone time system - standard time.Today, nearly all the world keeps standard time according to an international system of twenty-four time zones.26. Implied but not directly stated:.A. Farmers set their clocks according to the factory whistlesB. The correct time was not too important before the 1800sC. Only people who traveled on trains ever knew timeD. A standard system was set up by the pioneers27. On the whole, the article tells about.A. pioneers who rode on (Ton horses〞B. large numbers of people who traveledC. the establishment of standard timeD. the accurate timetable in the United States28. Which statement does this article lead you to believe?A. Accurate timetelling is important in many industries.B. Accurate time is important only in the United States.C. Accurate time is owned by the men who built railroads.D. Accurate time is owned by pioneers.29. Why weren't railroads able to print accurate timetables?A. Towns along the tracks set their clocks differently.B. No one was able to read timetables that were accurate.C. Farmers preferred to read the sun instead of timetables.D. Railroad workers had no watches.30. What does the word identical" mean?A. differentB. difficultC. similarD. understandablePassage FourUntil recently, women in advertisements were one of three things - an apron, a glamorous dress or a frown. Although that is now changing, many women still feel angry enough to deface offending advertisements with stickers protesting. This ad degrades women." Why does this sort of advertising exist? How can advertisers and ad agencies produce, sometimes, after months of research, advertisements that offend the consumer?The advertising Standards Authority (the body which deals with complaint about print media) is carrying out research into how women feel about the way they are portrayed in advertisements. Its conclusions are likely to be what the advertising industry already knows; although women are often irritated by the way they are seen in ads, few feel strongly enough to complain.Women are not only the victims of poor and boring stereotypes - in many TV commercials men are seen neither as useless, childish oafs who are unable to perform the simplest household tasks, or as in considerate boors, permanently on the lookout for an escape to the pub. But it is women who seem to bear the impact of the industry's apparent inability to put people into an authentic present-day context.Yet according to Emma Bennett, executive creative director of a London advertising agency, women are not infuriated by stereotypes and sexist advertising. It tends to wash over them. They are not militant or angry -they just find it annoying or tiresome. They reluctantly accept outdated stereotypes, but heave a sigh of relief when an advertisement really gets it right.She says that it is not advertising's use of the housewife role that bothers women, but the way in which it's handled. Researchers have often asked the wrong questions. The most important thing is the advertisement's tone of voice. Women hate being patronized, flattered or given desperately down-to-earth commonsense advice.〞In the end, the responsibility for good advertising must be shared between the advertiser, the advertising agency and the consumer. Advertising does not set trends but it reflects them. It is up to the consumers to tell advertisers where they fail, and until people on the receiving end take the business seriously and make their feelings known, the process of change will remain laboriously slow.31. Despite recent changes in attitudes, some advertisements still fail to.A. change women's opinions of themselvesB. show any understanding of people's feelingsC. persuade the public to buy certain productsD. meet the needs of the advertising products32. According to the writer, the commonest fault of present-day advertising is to.A. condemn the role of the housewifeB. ignore protests about advertisementC. present a misleading image of womenD. meet the needs of the advertising industry33. Research suggests that the reaction of women towards misrepresentation by advertisements isA. indifferenceB. hostilityC. consentD. unbelief34. Emma Bennett suggests that advertisement ought to.A. give further emphasis on practiceB. use male images instead of female onesC. change their style rather than their contentD. pay more compliments to women than before35. Ultimately the advertising industry should.A. take its job more earnestlyB. do more pioneering workC. take notice of the public opinionD. concentrate on the products advertisedPart III Vocabulary and Structure (20 points)Directions: There are 40 incomplete sentences in this part.

广东成人学位英语考试真题及答案(阅读理解)Part II Reading Comprehension (40ponts)Directions: there are four passages in this part. Each passage is followed by five questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A,B,C and D, choose the best and mark your answer on the ANSEWR SHEET.Passage OneHave you ever heard of a pawpaw(木瓜)? If not, do not feel bad. Many Americans do not know of the fruit, although it is native to the U.S..Once, however, it was one of the most popular fruits in North America. Happily, those who love the pawpaw are trying to return it to its former position in American foods.A pawpaw is a tropical fruit that used to be grown along the East Coast from New York to Florida and all over the eastern U.S..At one time, it could be found as far west as Nebraska.The pawpaw was an important food for Native Americans and even early European settlers. Pawpaws reportedly were a favorite treat of George Washington, the first U.S. president, who especially liked them cold. Thomas Jefferson, the third U.S. president, was also s fan of the fruit. He planted papaws at his home in Virginia. He also sent pawpaw seeds to his friends in France, American explorers Lewis and Clark wrote in their journals about the pawpaw.The pawpaw is difficult to be sold commercially. The fruit requires a very special environment---low, wet areas that sometimes flood. It has a very short harvest season, from two to three weeks in September and October. In addition, the fruit is good to eat for only two to three days after harvesting. This makes it hard to sell anywhere distant from the pawpaw tree it comes from.Planters are again growing pawpaw trees and harvesting the fruit. In several states farmers have organized “pawpaw festivals”to reintroduce people to food. At such a festival in Maryland recently, farmers displayed different products made with pawpaws, like pawpaw jams, pies, ice-cream and beer.16. Many American people do not know that the pawpaw _____A. Was once popular in the U.S.B. Is native to the U.S. onlyC. Has become popular againD. Is a healthy fruit【答案】B【解析】根据文章“Many Americans do not know of the fruit, although it is native to the U.S..”可以得出答案。

For each of them there are 4 choices marked A, B, C and D. Choose the best one and mark your answer on the ANSWER SHEET with a single line through the center.Passage OneFinding fresh drinking water was not a problem in the Roman Empire. The ancient Romans built aqueducts (from the Latin words aqua, meaning "water," and ductus, meaning "channel"). The pipes and channels wound down hills and valleys, transporting freshwater from remote lakes and streams to cities. Engineers designed each aqueduct so that water would drop precisely 24 feet per mile. A steeper slope would bring too much water too quickly. Less of a slope would cause the water to stagnate. Stone bridges with multiple arches were built to support aqueducts where the land dipped too sharply. Many of the bridges can still be found in Europe. At the Roman Empire's peak in the first and second centuries, nearly 200 cities had water supplied by aqueducts.Rome, the empire's capital, had 11 aqueducts for its estimated 1 million people. When the water reached Rome, it flowed into large containers, or tanks, on high ground. From there, it was distributed through pipes to different areas of the city. Some water was sold to rich citizens for their private use; some went to supply large public baths; the rest went to public fountains, located at crossroads throughout Rome that were never more than 109 yards apart. Experts say that each citizen of Rome could have used an average of 265 gallons of fresh, clean water per day — more than what's available in some cities today.16. The Roman Empire had plentiful supply of fresh drinking water because __________.A. many bridges were built to in Europe.B. water dropped precisely 24 feet per mile.C. aqueducts were built to transport freshwater.D. a lot of lakes and streams surrounded the cities.17.

Which of the following is the best title of the passage?A. Rome’s WaterwaysB. The Distribution of WaterC. Bridges with ArchesD. Public Fountains in RomePassage TwoThe Carr family of Wendell returns this week from Disney World on their first vacation ever,but the circumstances for taking it are one they would never have wanted. The trip was a result of the generosity of the Make-A-Wish Foundation, the nation’s largest wish granting organization for children with life threatening illnesses.Kaleb Carr, 3, has cancer in the retina of the eye. After six months of treatment, he is considered stable. One tumor is now dead cells and the other is a large mass and doctors aren't sure if it is active or not, said Kaleb's mother, Holly Carr.The family enjoyed their first vacation and thus had a week of freedom from visits to the doctor and worry. “They take you step by step through things so you can be worry and carefree and just concentrate on having fun with the family,” said Holly.The vacation included a three-day pass to Disney World, two days at Universal Studios, a day pass to Sea World, lodging and free food from restaurants at Give Kids the World Village, a resort for wish organizations. It also included VIP status at the parks which meant the Carrs didn't have to wait in lines."We are having a blast," said Holly last week from her cell phone. "They saw dolphins this morning and Kaleb got to feed the dolphins." Holly said the village where they stayed is a fantastic recreation of the children's Candy Land game with events every morning and night after park activities.21.

Get a few drops under the case, and that horrible little wetness indicator next to the battery goes red. Next thing you know, your phone doesn't work, and your carrier won't replace it. So bringing your phone to the beach can be a bad idea. The good news is that there are three types of cell phones built specifically for active fun.The Casio Exilim C721 on Verizon Wireless is the ultimate summer phone. That is because it also doubles as a waterproof, 5-megapixel camera—so you can leave your old digital camera at home, too. The Exilim is covered by a protective coating so you can shoot underwater. It's also proven as being against shock. If you spend a lot of time at the beach, this phone will be your best friend.Outdoors sportsmen should consider the unlocked Sonim XP3.20 Quest, which is the world's toughest phone--a claim I have tested. It can be tossed around violently, frozen, put into water, hit with a chisel, and used to hammer nails. Even if it does break, it comes with a no-questions-asked replacement promise.The Nextel i580 is the way to go if you're worried about durability. Bear in mind: It isn't waterproof, it's water-resistant--it'll survive a quick dunk or splash, but you can't submerge it. In my tests, it survived freezing, washing, dropping from a second-story window, and getting runover by a sports car. The i580 also has great call quality and a built-in MP3 player.26. According to the author, why is bringing your phone to the beach a bad idea?A. Because your carrier does not permit the use of cell phones at the beach.B. Because cell phones would not work if there is water inside.C. Because the wetness indicator would go red at the beach.D. Because few people bring their cell phones to the beach.27. What makes the Casio Exilim C721 the ultimate summer phone?A. Its stylish design.B. Its protective coating.C. Its resistance to shock.D. Its waterproof, 5-megapixel camera.28. What would happen if you want to replace your broken Sonim XP 3.10?A. It would be replaced without question.B. It would be replaced by a locked XP 3.10.C. You would be questioned about how you broke it.D. You have to pay a minimum amount of fees for repairing it.29. What qualities does the Nextel i580 have?A. It can be submerged, frozen and washed.B. It can be submerged, washed, and run over by a sports car.C. It can be frozen, washed, and dropped from a second-story window.D. It can be submerged, frozen and dropped from a second-story window.30. The main purpose of the passage is to __________.A. explain how cell phones workB. introduce three types of cell phonesC. discuss the fun of using mobile phonesD. describe the harm of water to cell phonesPassage FourLaughter brings a range of health benefits into your daily life. Laughing boosts your immune system. Just look at the work of Dr. Lee Berk, of Loma Linda University in California. Berk doesn't tell jokes beside patients’ beds, but he does research humor. He has shown that laughing can lead to an increase in antibodies and other cells that fight viruses.Other studies show that laughter might be helpful for people in hospitals. An organization called Rx Laughter carried out a study about humor in the hospital. The results suggest that laughter might help children deal with painful medical treatments.The study involved children between the ages of 8 and 14. The kids placed their hands in cold water for as long as they could while watching funny old TV shows, such as I Love Lucy. Guess what happened? The kids were able to withstand pain for a longer period of time when they were watching a funny video than when watching no video. Those who laughed more felt less pain."This means that humor can keep you away from thinking about a painful process and thus make it seem less painful," says Dr. Margaret Stuber, the main researcher for the study. She works at the University of California at Los Angeles. As Stuber also points out, humor may even be good for your emotional health because physical and emotional health are connected. "If you can say to yourself that a medical treatment wasn't as bad as you thought it would be, then you're less likely to have nightmares, fears about going to the doctor, and other related anxieties," she says.31. According to Dr. Lee Berk, laughing benefits us because __________.A. it makes us more humorousB. it helps us feel more relaxedC. it helps us deal with painful medical treatmentsD. it leads to an increase in antibodies and the cells that fight viruses32. Why did the children between the ages of 8 and 14 put their hands in cold water?A. Because they wanted to cool their hands off.B. Because they took part in an experiment on laughter.C. Because they wanted to test their ability to resist cold.D. Because they used to do this while watching old TV shows.33. According to Dr. Margaret Stuber, how does humor help children deal with painful medicaltreatments?A. It makes them laugh more.B. It makes them emotionally healthy.C. It makes them think less about a painful process.D. It makes them feel less worried about the treatments.34. Which of the following is true about laughter?A. Laughter cures people of all their diseases.B. Laughter solves all the mental problems.C. Laughter is beneficial to both physical and emotional health.D. Laughter makes children watch old TV shows for a longer time.35.According to the last paragraph, what are the effects of laughter on emotional health?A.Make people less anxious about going to the doctor.B.Make people more excited about medical treatment.C.Make people more satisfied with their health.D.Make people fall fast asleep.Part III Vocabulary and Structure (20 points)Directions: There are 40 incomplete sentences in this part.
