Passage One For generations, the Nganyi people of western Kenya have served as rainmakers, helping local communities decide when best to prepare their land and sow their seeds. By observing subtle changes in nature that would be unnoticeable to most people-in air currents, the flowering and shedding of leaves of certain trees, the behaviour of ants, bird songs, etc-they have been able to interpret weather patterns and provide valuable advice. But the irregular weather patterns brought by climate change mean the rainmakers can no longer use those sighs to make their predictions. And they don’t have access to the technologies available to meteorologists (⽓象学家). “Climate change has come on so fast. People don’t know how to adapt or what to plant,”says Obedi Osoce, a traditional weatherman. “Our traditional crops are disappearing because they cannot handle the new conditions. We need new strategies to handle climate change.” Now a British-Canadian project si doing just that, linking the rainmakers with government meteorologists. The two groups get together each season and produce an agreed forecast to be spread using a variety of methods suited to communities where many cannot read or write-through ceremonies, public meetings and person-to person comma-kation. Both parties are pleased with the collaboration. “ I think the two sciences equally valid. We are marrying our energies to help people better,” says Mr. Onunga, a Nganyi community elder involved in the project. ‘The results have been surprisingly good-the community agreed that the forecast was accurate,” says Gilbert Ouma, a lecturer at the University of Nairobi. “Through this project we hope to learn what it is that we can share together to live today and to adapt to tomorrow,”says Professor Laban Ogallo, leader of the Nganyi project. 36. Which of the following has been used by traditional Nganyi rainmakers in weather prediction?A.Plant seedsB.Dog harksC.Bird songsD.Ocean currents 37. What difficulty do local rainmakers face in making weather predictions? A. They cannot find an effective way to deliver messages. B. They lack modern technologies to cope with climate change. C. They cannot get financial support from the local government. D. They lack the facilities to stop traditional crops from disappearing. 38. How do people involved in the British-Canadian project feel about their cooperation?A. SatisfiedB.ConfusedC. HopefulD.Regretful 39. Which statement best expresses the main idea of the passage? A. A British-Canadian project has been carried out to solve farming problems. B. The Nganyi people have made weather forecasts by observing changes in nature. C. New technologies have replaced traditional methods in weather prediction in Kenya. D. Scientists and Kenyan rainmakers work together in a joint weather prediction project. Passage Two After taking a six-week, fully paid maternity leave (产假) earlier this year, Francine Gemperle was anxious to resume her job but reluctant to be away from her baby daughter, Veronika. Fortunately, she did’t have to choose between them. Maya Design, a Pittsburgh based creative consulting firm, allows parents to bring newborns into the office. “If I’d had to leave my children after my maternity leave ended, I would never have goes back to work,” says Gemperle, a designer and researcher, who brought her son Milo into the office after he was born. She’s not the only parent taking advantage of the benefit. Senior analyst Jon West brings his 10-mouth-old son, Owen, to the several times a month. In fact, when West considered using only part of his paternity leave, his co-workers urged him to take all six weeks. “I had pressure to take that leave,” recalls West, “People told me, it’s an important part of your life and you need to experience it.” “No matter how quiet the baby is, it’s an obvious distraction (分⼼的事),”says Tory Johnson, the chief executive of Women for Hire, a New York City-based recruiting film. No one has complained yet. Even if somebody did, it wouldn’t matter to Mickey McManus, Maya’s CEO and president, who argues that the policy builds loyalty and helps parents shift back into work mode. As part of its balancing act, Maya shares up to 20% of quarterly profits with its employees. However, the size of those checks might be up in the air at the moment. The firm once laid off five workers and it is now considering 4-day weeks to avoid more layoffs. 40. Which of the following is true about Maya Design? A. It hires women with families. B. It has some overseas branches. C. It provide consulting services. D. It encourages the staff to work at home. 41. What is Tory Johnson’s responsibility according to the passage?A. Taking on women employees.B. Dealing with women’s complaintsC. Dismissing unqualified women staffD. Taking care of women staff welfare 42. What is the advantage of Maya’s policy according to Mickey McManus?A. It cuts down the management cost.B. It increases staff loyalty to the filmC. It keeps a balance between work and life.D. It promotes equality un employment. 43. Which of these would be the best title for the passage? A. A Flexible Working Schedule B. A staff shortage in Maya Design C. A Pittsburgh-based Working Place D. A Company Taking Care of Young Parents Passage Three Harry Potter fans will instantly recognize the snowy owl as Harry’s famous companies, Hedwig, but these beautiful owls are easily recognizable not for their magical associations, but for their large size and striking while feathers. Snowy owls are, in fact, the only white owl, and they are a highly sought after species for many birdwatchers to add to their life lists. Foods: Small mammals, birds, fish. Habitat and Migration: Snowy owls are found in far northern latitudes including tundra, a vast treeless frozen region in the Arctic. Their breeding grounds (繁殖地) are in the Arctic tundra, and they migrate south throughout Canada during the winter. In exceptionally server winters or when food supplies are searce, these owls can appear much further south than their normal range. While principally a North American bird, they can also migrate to the northern areas of Europe an Asia. Behaviour: Snowy owls, like all owls, are powerful animal bunters that are active mostly at night but can bunt and feed during the day, especially when food supplies are low. These owls will rest on the ground or on rocks, stumps and other low favorable points. Males can be fierce when defending the nest, and both g e n d e r s w i l l a l s o p e r f o r m a n i n j u r e d b i r d a c t t o t e m p t a n i m a l i n v a d e r s t o g o a w a y f r o m t h e n e s t . / p > p > 0 0 R e p r o d u c t i o n : S n o w y o w l s m a y i n c u b a t e ( u[ uS ) 3 - 1 0 e g g s f o r 3 0 - 3 4 d a y s , o r t h e i n c u b a t i o n m a y b e d o n e p r i m a r i l y b y t h e f r e a k .

Its neighbors are Canada to the north and Mexico to the south. Although the United States is a big country, it is not the largest in the world. In 2000, its population was over 222 million.When this land first became a nation, after winning its independence from England, it had thirteen states. Each of the states was represented (代表) on the American flag by a star. All these states were in the eastern part of the continent. As the nation grew toward the west, new states were added and new stars appeared on the flag. For a long time, there were 48 stars. In 1959, however, two more stars were added to the flag, representing the new states of Alaska and Hawaii.Indians were the first people of the land which is now the United States. There are still many thousands of Indians now living in all parts of the country. Sometimes it is said that the Indians are “the only real Americans”. Most Americans come from all over the world. Those who came first in greatest numbers to make their homes on the eastern coast of North America were mostly from England. It is for that reason that the language of the5United States is English and that its culture and customs are more like those of England than those of any other country in the world.51. Which of the following is TRUE?A. America is the largest country in the world.B. the United States lies next to Canada and Mexico.C. America covers most part of the North American continent.D.

Canada is America’s nearest neighbor.55. The best title for the passage is “______________”.A. The States of AmericaB. The Language of AmericaC. The United States of AmericaD. The Culture and Customs of America6Passage 2A friend of mine named Paul received an expensive car from his brother as a Christmas present. On Christmas Eve when Paul came out of his office, a street urchin (顽童) was walking around the shining car. “Is this your car, Paul?”he asked.Paul answered, “Yes, my brother gave it to me for Christmas.”The boy was surprised. “You mean your brother gave it to you and it didn’t cost you anything? Boy, I wish .…”He hesitated.Of course Paul knew what he was going to wish for. He was going to wish he had a brother like that. But what the boy said surprised Paul greatly.“I wish,”the boy went on, “that I could be a brother like that.”Paul looked at the boy in surprise, then he said again, “Would you like to take a ride in my car?”“Oh yes, I’d love that.”After a short ride, the boy turned and with his eyes shining, said, “Paul, would you mind driving in front of my house?”Paul smiled a little. He thought he knew what the boy wanted. He wanted to show his neighbors that he could ride home in a big car. But Paul was wrong again. “Will you stop where those two steps are?”the boy asked.He ran up to the steps. Then in a short while Paul heard him coming back, but he was not coming fast. He was carrying his little crippled (残疾) brother. He sat him down on the step and pointed to the car.“There she is, Buddy, just like I told you upstairs. His brother gave it to him for Christmas and it didn’t cost him a cent. And some day I’m going to give you one just like it …then you can see for yourself all the nice things in the Christmas windows that I’vebeen trying to tell you about.”7Paul got out and lifted the boy to the front seat of his car. The shining-eyed older brother climbed in beside him and the three of them began an unforgettable holiday ride.56. The street urchin was very surprised when ________.A. Paul received an expensive carB. Paul told him about the carC. he saw the shining carD. he was walking around the car57. From the story we can see the urchin ________.A. wished to give his brother a carB. wanted Paul’s brother to give him a carC. wished he could have a brother like Paul’sD. wished Paul could be a brother likethat58. The urchin asked Paul to stop his car in front of his house ________.A. to show his neighbors the big carB. to show he had a rich friendC. to let his brother ride in the carD. to tell his brother about his wish59. We can infer(推断)from the story that ________.A. Paul couldn’t understand the urchinB. the urchin had a deep love for hisbrotherC. the urchin wished to have a rich brotherD. the urchin’s wish came true in theend60. Paul gave the brothers a ride probably because _________.A. he was free during the Christmas holidayB. he thought he should help allcrippled peopleC. he was moved by the older brother’s wishD. he wanted to take them to buyChristmas giftsPassage 38Like most people, I was brought up to look upon life as a process of getting. It was not until in my late thirties that I made this important discovery: giving-away makes life so much more exciting. You need not worry if you lack money. This is how I experimented with giving-away. If an idea for improving the window display of a neighborhood store flashes to me, I step in and make the suggestion to the storekeeper. One discovery I made about giving-away is that it is almost impossible to give away anything in this world without getting something back, though the return often comes in an unexpected form. One Sunday morning the local post office delivered an important special delivery letter to my home, though it was addressed to me at my office. I wrote the postmaster a note of appreciation. More than a year later I needed a post-office box for a new business I was starting. I was told at the window that there were no boxes left, and that my name would have to go on a long waiting list. As I was about to leave, the postmaster appeared in the doorway. He had overheard (⽆意中听到) our conversation. “Wasn’t it you that wrote us that letter a year ago about delivering a special delivery to your home?”I said yes.“Well, you certainly are going to have a box in this post office if we have to make one for you. You don’t know what a letter like that means to us. We usually get nothing but complaints.”61. From the passage, we understand that ____________.A. the author did not understand the importance of giving until he was in late thirtiesB. the author was like most people who were mostly receivers rather than giversC. the author received the same education as most people during his childhoodD. the author liked most people as they looked upon life as a process of getting62. According to the author, ______________.9A. giving means you will have less moneyB. the excitement of giving can bring you moneyC. you don’t have to be rich in order to giveD. when you give away money, you will be rich63. The author would make the suggestion to the storekeeper ______________.A. in writingB. in personC. in the window displayD. about the neighborhood64. When the author needed a post-office box, _______________.A. he had to put his name on a waiting listB. he wrote the postmaster a note of appreciationC. many people had applied for post-office boxes before himD. he asked the postmaster to make one for him65. In reply to the postmaster’s question, the author said _____________.A. it was the special deliveryB. it was the post-office boxC. it was the note of appreciation he wroteD. it was he who wrote him a letter a year agoPart V Translation (10%).66. 房⼦着⽕了,⾥⾯的⼈⾯临着死亡的危险。

1-5 CDBAD 6-10 DCABD 11-15 CDDAD【全文翻译】欧洲南部的妇女在10和11世纪时享有较高的社会地位,这并未获得广泛认识。
作为一个妻子,女性的地位受到其嫁妆的保护。
诚然,嫁妆最初的目的是防止女性被抛弃;但是,它在当时家庭和社会现实生活中起着更重要的作用。
妻子的嫁妆使她有权获得其丈夫十分之一的财物。
妻子有权利拒绝丈夫所做的任何交易,但这不仅仅只是一项权利而已;文件表明她与丈夫一样平等地享有真正的决定权。
文件没有表明丈夫和妻子在法律地位上有任何差别。
妻子享有管理丈夫私人财产的权利,但是反之则不然。
如果丈夫要越权侵犯她们的利益,女性们会时刻准备着捍卫自己的利益,有时她们还会表现出一种坚强的斗争精神。
Maria Vivas就是一个典型的例子。
为了家庭的需要,她同意其丈夫Miro出售一块属于她的土地,但是她坚持要求获得补偿。
但是丈夫没有给她提供补偿,于是她把丈夫拖到一个文书处,起草了一份合同,成功地把他丈夫的一块私人土地划归自己。
正如合同所写的,“为了和平”,这个不幸的丈夫不得不同意。
要么借助嫁妆,要么通过发脾气,妻子知道如何在家庭中为自己赢得强大的经济地位。

本文介绍了欧洲南部10和11世纪嫁妆对女性在婚姻中地位的重要性。
虽然嫁妆最初的目的是防止女性被抛弃,但实际上它的作用远远不止于此。
大学英语-期末考试试题卷(A)

Thomas Caraco, a biologist at the University of Rochester, recently studied yellow-eyed juncos over a three-day period to see how they altered their feeding habits in the presence of a trained Harris hawk. When Caraco released the bird, it swooped over the juncos, appearing to attack. The birds reacted by huddling together in a flock. And, despite the threat from above, they spent less time scanning and more time eating the food Caraco provided than they did when foraging individually.To see how the juncos would react if they had somewhere to hide, Caraco placed a Christmas tree in the feeding area. The birds became even freer.One negative note; when the number of birds in the flock increased beyond a certain point, they began to fight. The dominant juncos hogged the food and the meek birds lost out.41. Juncos are probably ________.A.very nice to look atB. stronger and more fierce than hawk sC. spending a lot of time worrying about being eatenD. mild in disposition42. According to the passage, when birds eat in groups, they ________.A. are less worriedB. eat lessC. are more worriedD. alter their feeding habits43. The passage says that ________.A. many birds don’t like to forage in groupsB. juncos are always ready to attack when they are togetherC. juncos foraging individually will spend more time scanningD. juncos like the food provided by Caraco best44. Caraco’s Christmas-tree experiment shows that ________.A. birds are not afraid of treesB. birds become bolder if there is a hiding-place nearbyC. birds often hide themselves in treesD. birds are free whether there are trees around or not 45. What’s the best title for this passage?A. Flocking for SafetyB. The Story of JuncosC. Feeding HabitsD. The Research on JuncosPassage TwoOn hot, humid days you can hardly wait until you get to an air—conditioned room. Air conditioning is a method of changing the condition of the air from what it is to what it should be in order to improve your comfort and health. The machinery for doing this is complicated, but the principles of air conditioning are simple. A fan draws in the air from outside the building. The air is full of dust which may affect your health. Therefore, it is first forced through fine screens which catch the dust and filter it out of the air. It cools the air to a temperature that may suit you. The air still contains a proportion of moisture. Too much moisture makes you uncomfortable. Too little makes your nose and throat feel dry. The conditioner adjusts the air to the right proportion of moisture, taking out extra moisture or adding some if there is not enough. The air in your room, too, passes again and again through the conditioner, and in a short time the temperature, the amount of moisture and purity are just right.46. The purpose of air conditioning is __________.A. to manufacture better airB. to improve the condition of the airC. to change the air we now have into a new kind of airD. to produce fresh air47. Conditioning makes air better for us __________.A. by blowing away the dustB. by treating the dust with some chemicalsC. by cooling the dustD. by removing the dust48. On warm or hot days the air can be cooled __________.A. to a desired temperatureB. to a freezing temperatureC. to only a few degrees below the outside temperatureD. Both A and B49.

That night when everyone went to bed, Bunny couldn’t sleep. He still couldn’t think of what he wanted his special Christmas present to be. He wondered how Santa would know what to bring him if he didn’t know himself.As he was sitting up in bed, Bunny heard a big noise on the roof and a sound downstairs. It was Santa Claus, he realized. Bunny jumped out of bed and raced down the hall to the stairs hoping to catch a glimpse of the old fellow before Santa departed for his next stop.“Hello,” said Bunny. “Is somebody there?”He was answered by another cry. Bunny looked around the big pile of presents to see what was making the noise. Right under the tree was a funny looking brown animal with big feet and mournful eyes. Bunny have mistaken the creative for a dog, if it hadn’t been for the antlers(鹿角) on his head.“Are you a reindeer?” asked Bunny.“Yes,” replied the brown creative with antlers, “my name is Ralph.”“And you were pulling Santa’s sled?”“I was until I got air-sick,” replied Ralph, “Santa had to leave me here and go on with the other seven reindeer.”“Isn’t it a bit unusual for a reindeer to get air-sick. I mean, isn’t flying what reindeer are famous for?”“I’m afraid that I’ve always had a sensitive(敏感的) stomach when it comes to flying,” replied Ralph. “ But everyone expected me to pull Santa’s sled, so when it was my turn I gave it a try. I’m afraid I just wasn’t cut out for the job. Now I’m stuck here and I don’t know how to get back to the North Pole.”“Well, if you like, you can stay with us as a friend,” said Bunny. As he made the offer, Bunny suddenly realized the special present he wanted from Santa was a new friend!51.

AThere are many aspects of the women’s liberation movement. Some women agree with all of the goals of women’s liberation. They want full equality with men in every aspect of life. In marriage, they want husbands and wives to share all of the work and responsibilities of a home and family. In work they want women and men to have the same jobs and the samechance to succeed. They want women to be paid just as much as men are for the same work. Other women agree with some of the ideas of women’s liberation. They want the same pay if they hold the same job as a man. At home, however , they do not expect their husbands to share in the cleaning, cooking, and other household jobs.It is important to remember that the women’s liberation movement is not concerned only with concrete issues. The movement is also concerned with attitudes and beliefs. One example of this concern is the issue of a women’s identity. A women’s identity is what she thinks she can do. Some women do not thinks she is, and what she thinks she can do. Some women do not think they are capable of doing anything important. The women’s liberation movement would like to help these women improve their views of themselves. Many women who are concerned with women’s liberation have taken the jobs, have helped others, have raised healthy children, and have done many other things to contribute to their communities. They have shown that they are capable of being good leaders and of doing many important things.1.We can learn from the first paragraph that _______.A. most of the women in the western countries are out of workB. men and women hold different views on women’s liberationC. most women are paid less than men for the same workD. some women wish their husband to stay at home doing household jobs2. which of the following does not seem to be a goal of women’s liberation?A.

This movement of water is called the tide. Tides are caused by the pull of the sun and the moon on the earth’s surface; since the moon is closer, it affects the tides more than the sun. When the moon is directly overhead, it actually pulls on the water that is below it. This causes the water level to rise because the water is pulled away from the earth. As the moon disappears over the horizon, the pull lessens and the water level settles back towards the ocean bottom.When the water reaches its highest level, we have high ride. And when the water comes to its lowest level, we have low tide. From its lowest point, the water rises gradually for about six hours until it reaches high tide. Then it begins to falls continuously for about six hours until it reaches low tide. Then the cycle begins again.4.Which of the following may be the best title for the passage?A. The Moon and OceanB.

He had placed nan ash-tray on the floor and was making aeroplane-noises as he waved a pencil in his hands. Near him, an ild man was fast asleep, and the boy’s mother was afraid that sonner or later her sin would wake the gentleman up. Meanwhile, the little man next to me kept sighing loudly.At last, the door opened and a nurse entered. The people looked up expectantly with a ray of hope in their eyes, then settled down again as the next lucky patient was led out of thr room.9.While he was in the waiting—room, the writer passed the time ______A. by reading magazinesB. by drawing a picture of the roomC. by watching the boy playing his model aeroplaneD. by looking at the people in the room10.
