testpaper2Passage OneA ten-year-old boy decided to study judo despite the fact that he had lost his left arm in a devastating car accident.The boy began lessons with an old Japanese judo master. The boy did well, so he couldn’t understand why, after three months o f training, the master had taught him only one move.“Master,” the boy finally said, “Shouldn’t I be learning more moves?”“This is the only move you know, but this is the o nly move you’ll ever need to know,” the master replied.Not quite understanding, but believing in his teacher, the boy kept training.Several months later, the master took the boy to his first tournament. Surprising himself, the boy easily won his first two matches. The third match proved to be more difficult, but after some time, his opponent became impatient and charged; the boy skillfully used his one move to win the match. Still amazed by his success, the boy was now in the finals.This time, his opponent was bigger, stronger, and more experienced. For a while, the boy appeared to be outmatched. Concerned about the boy, the referee called a time-out. He was about to stop the match when the master came forward.“No.” the master insisted, “Let him continue.”Soon after the match resumed, his opponent made a fatal mistake. He dropped his guard. Instantly, the boy used his move to pin him. The boy won the match. He was the champion.On the way home, the boy and his master review every move in each and every match. Then the boy summoned the courageto ask what was really on his mind. “Master, how did I win the tournament with only one move?”“You won for two reasons.” the master answered. “First, you’ve almost mastered one of the most difficult throws in judo. And second, the only known defense for that move is for your opponent to grab your left arm.”1.Judging from the context, what happens when a referee call s a “time-out”?a.The time for the game has run out.b.The game stops for a short time.c.Either side can claim victory.d.The game ends in a tie.2.Why did the master insist on/persist in/stick to continuing the match?a.Because the time-out would give the opponent an advantage.b.Because the boy was confident of winning.c.Because he had confidence in the boy’s skill.d.Because all he cared about is winning the final.3.What caused the defeat of the boy’s o pponent in the final?a.Over-confidenceb.Impatiencec.Inexperienced.The time-out4.Why did the master only teach the boy one move?a.The boy could not do other moves with only one arm.b.It was the only move the master knew well.c.It was the move his opponents were not good at.d.His opponent would be helpless when he made his move.5.What does the story show?a.One can turn his weakness into his advantage.b.It is very important to have a good teacher.c.Even a disabled person can win in a judo match.d.To master judo one only needs to learn one difficult move.Passage TwoCindy Hess began her automotive career as a Design and Development Engineer with Chrysler, in the fall of 1977. Today, she is Vice-President of Daimler Chrysler, and head of the Small Car Platform Engineering Department which is directly responsible for the design and development of the Neon, Doge Viper, and all future small car s. “Many different departments are involved in bringing a product to market,” said Hess, referring the 2000 Neon. “A company looks into renewing a particular vehicle when its marketplace demand is good, and the profits increase our shareholder’s value,” explained Hess. “We look to our market research in determining which options we’ll keep the same or delete, and which ones we want to add to improve ourappeal.”Now that the Neon 2000 is on the market, her team will use survey and research results to determine which option packages work best for the consumer, and what improvements, if any, need to be made. And the beat goes on.Hess supervises 1200 engineers while managing a successful life as wife and mother. Her secret, she said, is to “always try to give 150 percent in everything I do. The only way I can really balance my work and family is by “cheating at both ends”. Forexample,” Hess said “I always take my boys to school on the first day of the year----so I come in a little late. A few times a year I leave work for a couple of hours to see my son in a play or to attend his swim meet.”Like most other successful women in the auto industr y, Hess’s day begins early and ends late. In her case, coaching her son’s basketball game ends some of Hess’s days. “Occasionally,” she adds, “I come in to work on the weekends to catch up on paperwork and mail and have also been known to be called to work while I am on vacation.”1. What is Cindy’s chief res ponsibility now?a. Renewing promising car modelsb. Supervising production.c. Doing market researchd. Developing small cars2. When will a company renew an existing model?a. When is sells well and brings in a good profit.b. When it needs improvement to meet the need of users.c. When some of its features have to be deleted.d. When certain options have to be added.3. What does Cindy mean by “cheating at both ends”?a. Do things for her family when she is supposed to be at work.b. Work for the company while she is supposed to stay at home.c. Meet the demands of both family and work with a flexible schedule.d. Balance the needs of her family against the demands of her work.4. What is Cindy’s secret of success both as a business executive and a woman?a. Hard work.b. Loyalty.c. Enthusiasmd. Creativity.5. Which of the following statements is true of Cindy?a. She always makes sure to attend the big events in the life of her sons.b. She comes to office on most weekends to catch up on her work.c. She always gives priority to work rather than to her family.d. She seldom has time to take a holiday.Passage ThreeExtinction has recently become a catchword. Every day entire species of plants and animals die out, and for the first time in history this is due to the action of just one species: humans. We already know about five mass extinctions, and now a sixth seems to be under way. This one is different, because it is man-made. Deforestation of the rain forests is just one aspect of the phenomenon. Most people may have heard about that, but few people know that most of the species existing in the rain forests have never been described by science. Often they die out before we ever know they existed. Nobody can tell what treasures we lose, perhaps a cure for cancer or other modern-day diseases.World-famous Harvard professor Edward O. Wilson examines life on our planet in his book The Diversity of Life . He doesn't lecture his readers, but states in a matter-of-fact way what is known about the Earth’s past and the impact of mankind on its plant and animal life. Meanwhile, he suggests solutions forthe present crisis.If you are interested in the future of planet Earth and want to learn to see the bigger picture, this is the book for you. This is no light bedtime reading and will probably leave you feeling uneasy However, it’s important for people living in the 21st century to think about how we can pass at least part of this diversity on to our children. Recent research shows that Earth needs about 10 million years to restore the lost diversity of species after a great crisis. Ten million years are not much in terms of the life of a planet, but the period is way too long for mankind. Wilson’s book should help us to start a process of reconsideration.1.Judgin g from the context, what does the word “extinction” mean?a.Death of many plants and animals.b.Killing of wild animals by man.c.Deforestation of the rain forest.d.Dying out of an entire species.2.In what sense is the present mass extinction different from the five previous ones?a.It is larger in scale.b.It is caused by man.c.The lost diversity can never be restored.d.It threatens the very existence of humans.3.Why should people be concerned about extinction?a.Because many existing species have not yet been studied.b.Because the dying species may be of great value to humans.c.Because it may lead to great climate changes on earth.d.Because the dying species can sure cure cancer and other diseases.4.It can be inferred from the passage thata.there are now more species on our planet than beforeb.every plant or animal is described in his book The Diversity of Lifec.without man’s interference every species would have survived.d.many species lived and died without ever being noticed by man.5.What is the chief purpose of Edward in writing the book?a.To provide readers with some interesting bedtime reading.b.To help specialists do research on plant and animal life.c.To arouse readers’ interest in the h istory of our planet.d.To remind us of the urgency of preserving the diversity of life.Passage FourThe history of English is conventionally, if perhaps too neatly, divided into three periods usually called Old English (or Anglo-Saxon), Middle English, and Modern English. The earliest period begins with the migration of certain Germanic tribes from the continent to Britain in the fifth century A. D., though no records of their language survive from before the seventh century, and it continues until the end of the eleventh century or a bit later. By that time Latin, Old Norse (the language of the Viking invaders), and especially the Anglo-Norman French of the dominant class after the Norman Conquest in 1066 had begun to have a substantial impact on the vocabulary, and the well-developed inflectional(词尾变化的) system that typifies the grammar of Old English had begun to break down.The period of Middle English extends roughly from the twelfth century through the fifteenth. The influence of French (and Latin, often by way of French) upon the lexicon continued throughout this period, the loss of some inflections and the reduction of others accelerated, and many changes took place within the grammatical systems of the language. A typical prose passage, especially one from the later part of the period, will not have such a foreign look to us as the prose of Old English, but it will not be mistaken for contemporary writing either.The period of Modern English extends from the sixteenth century to our own day. The early part of this period saw/witness the completion of a revolution in vowel distribution that had begun in late Middle English and that effectively brought the language to something resembling its present pattern. Other important early developments include the stabilizing effect on spelling of the printing press and the beginning of the direct influence of Latin and, to a lesser extent, Greek on the lexicon. Later, as English came into contact with other cultures around the world and distinctive dialects of English developed in the many areas which Britain had colonized, numerous other languages made small but interesting contributions to our word-stock.6. The earliest written record of English available to us started ________.A. from the fifth centuryB. from the seventh centuryC. from the ninth centuryD form the eleventh century7. What characterized the grammar of Old English?A.A well-developed inflectional system.B. The influence of Latin often by way of FrenchC.A limited vocabularyD.A revolution in vowel distribution8. It can be inferred from the passage that today_________.A. a person can pronounce Old English words but cannot understand themB. an educated person can understand Old English but cannot pronounce itC. even an educated person can not read old English without special trainingD. a person with sufficient knowledge of French can understand Old English9. We can infer from the passage that a prose passage from the fifteenth century_______.A. looks like foreign language to contemporary English readersB. looks more like contemporary English than Old EnglishC. can be understood by contemporary readersD. is almost the same as Modern English in grammatical structure10. What is the most remarkable characteristic of Modern English?A. The emergence of new varieties in many parts of the world.B. Gradual changes in its grammatical system.C. Complete loss of its inflectional system.D. Numerous additions to its word-stock.1.The terrorist attack on America on September 11,2001 has met with ______condemnation.a. overallb. universalc. extensived. widespread2.

Paper Two (试卷二）（50 minutes)Part VI Translation (10 points)Directions :Translate the following passage into Chinese. Write your answer on the Answer Sheet.Undoubtedly, advanced technology has brought much convenience to us, but modern people, especially students, are not supposed to hinge upon the technology all the time. There are two reasons to support the view. To start with, students shoulder the responsibility of learning. There is a “study”in the word of “student”. Furthermore, the future progress of technology depends upon students. How can they advance the current scientific frontier without a total understanding of the basic knowledge? Of course, students are also supposed to learn by themselves with the help of technology, especially the Internet, for collecting information is an essential ability of modern people. However, there is a clear distinction between relying on the Web for everything and independent study.Part VII Writing (15 points)Directions: Write at least 150 words about the topic: A Better University or a Better Major? You should write according to the outline given below. Write your composition on the Answer Sheet.1．你认为在研究生学习阶段是选择一个好的学校重要还是选择一个好的专业重要？2．你的理由是．．．．．．．。

In our local museum and art gallery there is a full- length (LONG) portrait of a lady standing in a typically (CLASSIC) pose, although she is quite clearly not Greek or Roman, but a (PROSPER) English woman of the eighteenth century.

I was late leaving for work and was just about to get into my car when my wife called me. My boss wanted me to drop into another office on the way to work to pick up some important papers. The call only delayed me by five minutes, but it was enough. When I reached the office block to collect the papers, there wasn’t much of it left.

Before we left home, as usual I had bought a paperback to read. I didn’t know the author and had never heard of the book. I was simply attracted by the cover. I was amazed that night, sitting up in bed, to find that the story was set in the very same village where we were staying. And we found that the novelist often stayed in the small hotel where we were. What are the chances of that happening, I wonder? People pour scorn on things like this, don’t they? I would have a while ago, but not now.’Recently Liz Chance discovered that she had a long-lost twin sister from whom she had been separated at the age of six months. When she and her sister Louise were reunited last year, they found incredibly that they had led almost parallel lives. ‘We found that we had both married in 1996 ad that we had both married a man called Ted: both Teds were antique dealers. We discovered that we are both keen on gardening and listening to jazz, and that we both live in a house in a road call New Road. I always knew something like this would happen.’Which person (哪个人)Chose a book to read on holiday almost by chance?Was reunited with a long-lost sister not long ago?Was somehow prevented from having an accident?Married an antique dealer?Thought that his or her life had been saved by a coincidence?Reads novels when he or she is away?Translate these sentences into Chinese (翻译以下句子)Recently Liz Chance discovered that she had a long-lost twin sister from whom she had been separated at the age of six months.It seems that circumstances do sometimes conspire to prevent accidents happening.My boss wanted me to drop into another office on the way to work to pick up some important papers.Part TwoRecord it in mp3 form when you read the following conversation.
