Grammar and VocabularySection ADirections: After reading the passage below, fill in the blanks to make the passage coherent and grammatically correct. For the blanks with given word, fill in each blank with the proper form of the given word; for the other blanks, use one word that best fits each blank.Blind TomIn 1850 an American lawyer, James N. Bethune, bought a slave to work in his home. The slave, a woman, had a small child (21) ___________ (name) Tom, who was blind and autistic (自闭的).One day, Bethune was walking around his garden (22) ___________ he heard music coming from the house. He went inside (23) ___________ (investigate) and found young Tom playing on the family piano. Bethune realized that the boy, who was only four, had special abilities. He hired a band of musicians to come to the house and play in front of him. Tome reproduced perfectly the music he had heard. This confirmed Bethune’s suspicion (24) ___________ Tom had the ability to memorise and repeat pieces of music after (25) ___________ (hear) them just once.In 1857 “Blind Tom”, as he was call ed from them on, took part in his public performance. The reviews were so good that Bethune took him (26) ___________ a tour of the US. Three years later, Blind Tom was invited to the White House, (27) ___________ he performed for the president. Over the next forty years, Tom performed shows all over the US, as well as visiting Canada, the UK and several South American countries. The concerts were a mixture of classical music and (28) ___________ own compositions. They also (29)___________ (feature) a section called the “challenge” when members of the audience played a piece of music on the piano which Tom then (30) ______ _____ reproduce. He never failed. Blind Tom died in 1908.Section BDirections: Complete the following passage by using the words in the box. Each word can only be used once. Note that there is one word more than you need.A. approachB. commerciallyC. continuousD. domesticE. heavilyF. novelG. previousH. fundI. scene I. speech K. surpriseWhere’s the soap?It’s funny how TV programmes don’t always live up to your expectations. I can’t tell you how many times I’ve turned on the ‘news’, only to be told who the winner of a talent show is or what a celebrity has been wearing. Or the number of ‘comedies’ which didn’t make me laugh. So it comes as no31 that rarely does a ‘soap opera’ contain soap or singing, let alone classical singing. So, where is the soap?In 1930, the manager of a Chicago radio station managed to 32 a detergent company in order to get sponsorship for a daily, fifteen-minute drama about a woman who left her job as a 33 teacher to work in radio. This was to become Painted Dreams, a serial (系列剧) considered to be the first soap opera. The format was so popular that by 1940, radio soap operas made up 90% of 34 sponsored daytime radio. The word ‘soap’comes from the fact that these programmes were sponsored (and sometimes even produced) by companies which produced 35 cleaning products. They were aimed at housewives, who at that time would be at home.All soap operas were defined by the fact that their storylines are 36 . Several plots often run at the same time, and each episode (集) usually ends with a ‘cliffhanger’, an open ending designed to make people want to watch or listen to the next episodes.In the Americas, soap operas tend to focus on characters with wealthy lifestyles, whereas in the UK and Australia, they tend to be based on the lives of working class people. In both cases, storylines are based around family life, relationships, moral issues and sometimes topical issues. Romance and secret relationships feature 37 , and these can be compared to those of the old style paperback romance 38 . Plots can often move into weird areas, such as in an episode of US soap Dallas, where in order to bring back a ‘dead’ character, it was shown that a(n) 39 season had all been a dream of one of the characters. Perhaps not as strange as an Australian soap which had one 40 showing a male dog dreaming about the female dog from next door!III. Reading ComprehensionSection ADirections: For each blank in the following passage there are four words or phrases marked A, B, C and D. Fill in each blank with the word or phrase that best fits the context.Instead of cruising in on a hoverboard, I rode my bike to the office today. The bicycle was invented in the 19th century. Instead of taking a pill for breakfast, I had a bacon roll, cooked using gas. Science fiction has41 to us.Making predictions is tricky, especially about the future, as physicist Niels Bohr joked. In science fiction, you can’t escape that42 , though. Since its birth in the 19th century, writers have 43 imagined the things to come: devices that humankind will invent to make life easier. But in so many instances, those promises have not come to pass. The biggest 44 are in travel-jet packs, hoverboards and flying cars are yet to fill the skies. Air travel has become significantly cheaper and wide-reaching, but only using distinctly20th-century technology: commercial aeroplanes are much the same as they were 50 years ago.45 is what science fiction frequently delivers, but its arrival in the real world has been unpredictable. Domestic robots with a degree of intelligence are yet to 46 , though robotic vacuum cleaners are commercially available-even if they are fairly hopeless. Video calls have now arrived-sort of-but conferencing on Skype is still dissatisfying. In mobiles, video call technology is now available, so when your dad rings to update yo u on his vegetable patch, he’ll be able to47 your look of boredom.The truth is that we quickly 48 the astonishment of invention: our wonderment is soon replaced with the feeling of nothing new. We should try to stay in that period of 49 . It is astonishing that the contents of every book ever written can be stored in a small box. Or that you can carry 10,000 albums on an object kept in your pocket. Or that almost all the information in the world can be accessed almost anywhere at any time. All these 50 are dependent on the emergence of the microchip and its place in computers. Yet sci-fi didn’t51 the dominance of the computer in running our lives.But the real area where 52 far outstrips predictions is medicine. Sure, fiction would describe humans as ‘disease-free’ but without going into detail. “Disease-free” humans are still absent, but the progress made in 53 life is breathtaking. With relative ease, we can sequence anyone’s genome (基因组), giving a read-out of our entire genetic code. This means we can find out the underlying genetic cause of thousands of diseases in minutes.Photosensitive implants now exist that can replace damaged cells in the retina (视网膜) and can thus 54 sight to the blind. While the inventions of science fiction can show great ideas we’d like to happen, nothing 55 the inventiveness of people in the real world.41. A. turned B. lied C. objected D. talked42. A. opportunity B. challenge C. imagination D. conflict43. A. hesitantly B. critically C. temporarily D. tirelessly44. A. disappointments B. advancements C. enjoyments D. experiments45. A. Modernization B. Exploration C. Automation D. Transportation46. A. materialize B. identify C. honor D. liberate47. A. imagine B. feel C. see D. ignore48. A. arouse B. discover C. forget D. evaluate49. A. frustration B. amazement C. boredom D. limitation50. A. modes B. worries C. potentials D. actions51. A. predict B. overlook C. motivate D. prevent52. A. quality B. obstacle C. passion D. reality53. A. maintaining B. creating C. researching D. encountering54. A. show B. lend C. restore D. label55. A. guarantees B. overestimates C. releases D. outperformsSection BDirections: Read the following three passages. Each passage is followed by several questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have just read.(A)People always regret asking me and my wife how we got together. It’s a long story, involving other relationships and several countries, and to be honest, it’s not that interesting, so I’ll spare you the details. We were at a restaurant in Tuscany on our summer holiday last year though, when we met another English couple who had a far more interesting story than us. Lynn and Andy had actually met online before they got together, or at least they thought they had. After a few casual conversations through an online dating agency, they decide to meet for real. Lynn arrived at the restaurant first, and shortly after was approached by Andy, who though she was someone else. It turns out they’d both arranged to meet different people, but liked to look of ea ch other, and that was that!And they’re not alone. It seems there are all sorts of places you might meet that special someone. Lukas met Sofie for the first time when, he crashed into her car-on his bicycle. ‘It was raining and I was coming downhill reall y fast, so I couldn’t really see where I was going. Sofie opened her car door and I went straight into it, and off my bike,’ explains Lukas. ‘I was unconscious for a few seconds, and when I came round there was this beautiful young woman asking me “Are you OK?” Well, after that, she went to the hospital with me and was just really kind, really caring, and we hit it off.’Every cloud has a silver lining, so they say, and Nick McKiddie would most likely agree. He was leaving the office late one night when he got robbed by a group of young men. He wasn’t hurt, but they stole his phone and wallet, so he called the police. Susan Harris, a young police officer at the time, attended the call. Nice explains, ‘I don’t know whether I was in shock because of what had h appened, but I think it was love at firstsight. I would never usually be so confident, but I just asked if she wanted to go for a drink sometime, and to my surprise, she said yes!’ Nick and Susan got married last December.Animals don’t have the same soci al inhibitions as humans do, and this was certainly the case when Ri took her dog, Ben, to the local dog park. ‘As soon as I took his head off, he ran straight to another dog on the other side of the park, and started getting very friendly indeed,’ she laughs. ‘I actually had to pull him away, and that was when I met Ben, the other dog’s owner. We had a good laugh about it all, especially when we realized he had the same name as my dog. We became friends after that, and well, the rest is history.’56. According to the passage, Lynn and Andy .A. first met in a restaurant in TuscanyB. regretted talking to each other onlineC. were arranged to see other people at firstD. preferred casual conversations to real meeting57. got to know each other due to an accident.A. The author and his wifeB. Lukas and SofieC. Nick and SusanD. Ri and Ben58. By “every cloud has a silver lining” (in paragraph 3), the author means that.A. every day is good beginningB. good luck comes with misfortunesC. what you value matters in your lifeD. people do not always behave as usual59. What is the passage mainly about?A. The methods of joining animals and us.B. The place where people get together.C. The weird ways people meet.D. The special cases of dating.(B)Memory expert Professor Jemima Gryaznov answers your most common questions about memory.1.We remember the things that have strong connections in our mind, especially emotional connections. Childhood memories are often very emotional: we experience things for the first time so we have strong feeling of fear or excitement. Retelling events also helps to fix them in our memories and interesting or funny stories from our childhood are often told again and again!2. Do some people really have a photographic memory?It is well know that some people have an extraordinary memory. Daniel Tammet, for example, can remember the first 22,500 digits of pi and Stephen Wiltshire can draw a detailed picture of a city from memory after flying over it in a helicopter. However, neither Daniel nor Stephen have a photographic memory. They are good at remembering particular things for a limited time. A person with a photographic memory could remember every detail of a picture, a book or an event many years later. No one has yet proved that they have a photographic memory in a scientific test.3. Is computer memory better than human memory?That depends on what you mean by ‘better’! Information in a compu ter is stored in separate pieces. Human memory is stored in a different way. Each piece of information is connected to many other pieces. That’s why a particular smell can bring back memories of a holiday or a person. The problem with human memory is that it is messy and not very accurate. The problem with computer memory is that it can’t make connections between pieces of information-it isn’t creative.4. I’m 24. Is my memory getting worse?Not yet, but it will do soon. Our memory reaches its full power at the age of 25. At that point we can remember up to 200 pieces of information a second. After this age, however, the brain starts to get smaller. By the age of 40 we are losing 10,000 brain cells every day. By middle age our memory is significantly worse than when we were young.5. Is it possible to remember early childhood?Scientists used to believe that it was impossible to remember very early childhood, but recent research shows that babies are much cleverer than we previously thought. Some people really can remember being a baby. Other, however, remember nothing before the age of five or even ten!60. Which of the following questions best fits the blank in the passage?A. What can we do to improve our memory as we grow older?B. Can childhood memories help us remember what has happened recently?C. How do we establish emotional connections with our childhood experiences?D. Why can I remember events in my childhood but not what happened last week?61. What can we learn about photographic memory?A. There is no reliable evidence that it exists.B. It enables us to remember details in a limited time.C. We cannot acquire it without specialized training.D. Only some of us can benefit from it.62. Which of the following statements is true according to the passage?A. Information is separately stored in human memory.B. Human memory declines as the brain gets smaller.C. Computer memory is better than human memory from any perspective.D. Whether we can remember our early childhood needs more scientific research.(C)Over the last 15 years, digital communication has brought in more changes than the printing press did in 1570. And those most likely to use them in this world are teenagers, whose brains appear to have an extraordinary capacity to adapt to the world around them, according to Dr Jay Giedd, an adolescent brain expert.We are now discovering that, as a species, our brains during the teenage years are still flexible and capable of adapting. Having a more flexible brain means that certain parts of it, such as impulse control and the ability to make long-term decisions, haven’t developed yet, which may also explain why, unlike some of our ancestors, we spend an extended period living under the protection of our parents rather than leaving home at the age of 12 or 13.This also means that the teenage brain can adapt to new technology, enabling teenagers to keep up with the increasing pace of digital technology and giving them an advantage when it comes to multitasking.In the US, on average teenagers spend 8.5 hours a day using computers, mobiles, and other devices to learn, interact, and play. This increases to 11.5 hours if you include all of the multitasking that goes on, such as talking on the phone while you’re watching TV. As they stare at these screens, they’re taking in and sorting through an incredible amount of information.There are concerns about how social media id affecting the way in which the brain learns to socialize, as one of the most important skills that we learn as children is how to make friends and interact with people around us. Geidd says that a lot of what goes on inside our brains is social. Social interactions are now being changed by technology-you could have hundreds of friends, all of whom are real people that you interact with and scientists aren’t sure whether we’ll be able to develop the same skills using social media.There is an advantage of the growing digital trend: YouTube indicates that teenagers all over the world are watching the same video clips and laughing at the same jokes, indicating that they are more global-minded than teenagers in the past.They may be keen on texting their friends and posting updates on social media sites, but teenagers today are probably going to have access to technology and as a result social and educational opportunities that anyone with a less flexible brain may have trouble imagining. However, there is a cut-off point, and by the age of 30, our brains have become more set in their ways, making it harder for us adapt and cope with new technologies.63. What does “this” (in paragraph 3) refer to?A. Teenagers’ brains are different from ancestors’.B. Teenagers’ brains haven’t fully developed.C. Teenagers still need parents’ protection.D. Teenagers are more flexible than adults.64. According to the passage, the growing digital trend does good to .A. the development of globalizationB. the flexibility of teenagers’ brainsC. people’s access to technologyD. children’s ability to interact with others65. What can be inferred from the passage?A. Ways to socialize haven’t changed despite the emergence of social media.B. Adolescents’ brains have lost some abilities necessary for survival.C. Being keen on digital communication does more harm than good.D. Many educational opportunities now come with technology.66. Which of the following might be the best title if the passage?A. Teenage Brains in the Digital WorldB. Digitalization: An Unavoidable TrendC. The Future of the Digital CommunicationD. How Parents Can Help Kids in the Digital AgeSection CDirections: Complete the following passage by using the sentences given below. Each sentence can be used only once. Note that there are two more sentences than you need.A. They have to be king of the road and everybody else on the road is an idiot.B. So what’s the point of these jokes?C. Interestingly, one of their main concerns is about women as passengers.D. There is no doubt that women are considered better passengers than men.E. According to the report, women score more highly than men on almost all counts.F. Why do we laugh at these jokes?Driving each other crazyThere’s a well-known joke: A woman is driving down a motorway and her husband phones her on her mobile. ‘Darling, be careful!’ he screams, ‘I’ve just heard there’s a car driving the wrong way on the motorway near where you are.’ ‘It’s not just one car,’ she says, ‘there are hundreds of them!’And here’s another one: a man is driving his daughter and they are stuck in traffic. The little girl says, ‘I hav e a question.’ ‘What is it?’ asks her father. ‘When you’re driving, are YOU ever the stupid idiot?’67 Is it because we recognize some truth in them? A lot of people seem to think that men and women do display quite different characteristics when it comes to driving, and in general, both male and female drivers tend to be quite critical of the opposite sex.‘Men are too confident in their own abilities. They never listen, they never need a map. They’re always sure they know the way,’ says Cathy, whose husband rarely lets her drive the car. ‘They tend to drive too close to the car in front and they’re incredibly impatient. If there’s a car in front, they have to pass it even if it doesn’t make a difference to their overall speed. I think it’s some sort of territorial thing. 68 ’.What do men think about women? 69 ‘Women passengers can’t keep quiet,’ says Paul, a retired architect. ‘You know: “You’re going too fast”, “Can you see that pedestrian?”, “Didn’t you see that traffic light?” or “I feel sick. Can’t you go straight?” There’s always some comment.’Despite men’s generally high opinion of their own driving skills, a report published in 2004 came down firmly in favour of women drivers. 70 These include driving within the speed limits, overtaking safely and conducting different strategies successfully, including signaling in good time, reversing and braking quickly. They also had a better awareness of other drivers on the road. There was only one aspect of driving where women did not perform as successfully as men and that was-no surprise-the ability to park their cars.IV. Summary WritingDirections: Read the following passage. Summarize in no more than 60 words the main idea of the passage and how it is illustrated. Use your own words as far as possible.Are you a textaholic?Do you spend over an hour each day texting your friends? Do you frequently neglect work, study and leisure activities to check your phone for text messages? Are you moody and emotional if you are separated from your mobile phone? Do you hardly ever use your phone to talk any more, and do your thumbs from texting too much?If you answered ‘Yes’ to any of the above questions, then the chances are that you are a textaholic. A textaholic can be defined as someone who is addicted to sending and receiving text messages. The main symptoms are a strong will to text which takes precedence over everything else, and withdrawal symptoms if messages fail to come in, leading to anger, depression and a lack of self-respect. Other problems include sleeplessness, eye strain, and repetitive strain injury due to constant messaging, not to mention expensive phone bills. The root of the problem, as with many addictions, is the desire to escape from emotional difficulties such as stress, anxiety and relationship problems. Experts warn that text addiction is likely to become the most common form of addiction in the future, especially among the young.So what can you do if you think you may be a textaholic? The key is to get your life back in balance. Make sure you resist the urge to answer every message you receive, and consider leaving your mobile phone behind occasionally when you go out. Most importantly, make a point of spending quality time with friends and family, and make time to re-learn the art of face-to face conversation instead of conducting your relationships by means of text messages. Not only will you save time and money, but you may also rediscover the pleasure of the true communication.V. TranslationDirections: Translate the following sentences into English, using the words given in the brackets.72. 南非有很多野生动物。

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 best choice and mark the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet.Passage OneQuestions 11 to 15 are based on the following passage.We all know that panic-stricken moment. You drop your mobile phone, frightened, as it drops towards the floor, fearing it will land screen-side down — with shattering results.But now Apple plans to spare you that worry, with an invention that will stop your iPhone hitting the ground face first.The technology giant was granted a patent last week on an invention that can detect when a phone is falling and ensure the screen doesn ’t hit the ground. The idea could also work with iPads and other devices.Apple ’s design features on-board sensors that measure the speed at which the phone is falling and predict when it will land and which side of the phone will hit the floor.If sensors calculate the screen or camera will hit the ground, a motor in the phone is caused to start working instantly. The motor then affects other parts of the device, making it turn quickly around a central point as it falls, so that it lands on a hard area. The effect is similar to how a falling cat always manages to land on its feet.What ’s more, the patent even includes a system that would avoid damage to the connector.Victor Seidel, a lecturer in science entrepreneurship at Oxford University, said, “This does what a lot of successful new approaches do: combine ideas in a way others had not considered. But integrating this idea into current slimline designs may be a challenge. Of course, no one will really know the possible benefits and limitations until Apple gets products into the hands of users — hands that are indeed sometimes clumsy.”Industry insiders say an iPhone featuring the new technology may appear within three years.11. What does Apple plan to do?A) Recall mobile phones with broken screens. B) Invent a new way of protecting the phone.C) Design a new type of smart phone. D) Produce new products in other fields.12. We can know from the passage that ___________.A) the patent will prevent the phone fallingB) the patent will make the screen more solidC) the sensors can measure the phone ’s falling speedD) the camera on the phone will record the falling process终稿13. What is the function of the motor on the phone?A) It turns off the phone before it lands. B) It predicts where the phone will land.C) It rings the bell when the phone is falling. D) It protects the screen when the phone falls.14. According to the passage, we can learn_________.A) the patent is complex to use B) the patent has been put into practiceC) the patent can also protect the connector D) the patent can only be applied to iPhones15. What ’s the best title of the passage?A) A Patent to Protect Your Phone. B) A Way to Prevent Your Phone Falling.C) A New Phone with a Firm Screen. D) An Advertisement of a New Phone.Passage TwoQuestions 16 to 20 are based on the following passage.Statuses are marvelous human inventions that enable us to get along with one another and to determine where we “fit ” in society. As we go about our everyday lives, we mentally attempt to place people in terms of their statuses. For example, we must judge whether the person in the library is a reader or a librarian, whether the telephone caller is a friend or a salesman, whether the unfamiliar person on our property is thief or a meter reader, and so on.The statuses we assume often vary with the people we encounter, and change throughout life. Most of us can, at very high speed, assume the statuses that various situations require. Much of social interaction consists of identifying and selecting among appropriate statuses and allowing other people to assume their statuses in relation to us. This means that we fit our actions to those of other people based on a constant mental process of appraisal and interpretation. Although some of us find the task more difficult than others, most of us perform it rather effortlessly.A status has been compared to ready-made clothes. Within certain limits, the buyer can choose style and fabric. But an American is not free to choose the costume (服装) of a Chinese peasant or that of a Hindu prince. We must choose from among the clothing presented by our society. Furthermore, our choice is limited to a size that will fit, as well as by our pocketbook (钱包). Having made a choice within these limits we can have certain alterations made, but apart from minor adjustments, we tend to be limited to what the stores have on their racks. Statuses too come ready made, and the range of choice among them is limited.16. In the first paragraph, the writer tells us that statuses can help us ________.A) determine whether a person is fit for a certain jobB) behave appropriately in relation to other peopleC) protect ourselves in unfamiliar situationsD) make friends with other people17. According to the writer, people often assume different statuses ________.A) in order to identify themselves with others B) in order to better identify othersC) as their mental processes change D) as the situation changes18. The word “appraisal ” (Line 5, Para. 2) most probably means “________”.A) involvement B) appreciation C) assessment D) presentation19. In the last sentence of the second paragraph, the pronoun “it ” refers to “________”.A) fitting our actions to those of other people appropriatelyB) identification of other people ’s statuses终稿C) selecting one ’s own statusesD) constant mental process20. By saying that “an American is not free to choose the costume of a Chinese peasant or that of aHindu prince ” (Line 2-3, Para. 3), the writer means ________.A) different people have different styles of clothesB) ready-made clothes may need alterationsC) statuses come ready made just like clothesD) our choice of statuses is limitedPassage ThreeQuestions 21 to 25 are based on the following passage.After the violent earthquake that shook Los Angeles in 1994, earthquake scientists had good news to report: The damage and death toll (死亡人数) could have been much worse.More than 60 people died in this earthquake. By comparison, as earthquake of similar intensity that shook America in 1988 claimed 25,000 victims.Injuries and deaths were relatively less in Los Angeles because the quake occurred at 4:31 a.m. on a holiday, when traffic was light on the city ’s highways. In addition, changes made to the construction codes in Los Angeles during the last 20 years have strengthened the city ’s buildings and highways, making them more resistant to quakes.Despite the good news, civil engineers aren ’t resting on their successes. Pinned to their drawing boards are blueprints (蓝图) for improved quake-resistant buildings. The new designs should offer even greater security to cities where earthquakes often take place.In the past, making structures quake-resistant meant firm yet flexible materials, such as steel and wood that bend without breaking. Later, people tried to lift a building off its foundation, and insert rubber and steel between the building and its foundation to reduce the impact of ground vibrations. The most recent designs give buildings brains as well as concrete and steel supports. Called smart buildings, the structures respond like living organisms to an earthquake ’s vibrations. When the ground shakes and the building tips forward, the computer would force the building to shift in the opposite direction.The new smart structures could be very expensive to build. However, they would save many lives and would be less likely to be damaged during earthquakes.21. One reason why the loss of lives in the Los Angeles earthquake was comparatively low is that________.A) new computers had been installed in the buildingsB) it occurred in the residential areas rather than on the highwaysC) large numbers of Los Angeles residents had gone for a holidayD) improvements had been made in the construction of buildings and highways22. The function of the computer mentioned in the passage is to ________.A) counterbalance an earthquake ’s action on the buildingB) predict the coming of an earthquake with accuracyC) help strengthen the foundation of the buildingD) measure the impact of an earthquake ’s vibrations23. The smart buildings discussed in the passage ________.A) would cause serious financial problems终稿B) would be worthwhile though costlyC) would increase the complexity of architectural designD) can reduce the ground vibrations caused by earthquakes24. It can be inferred from the passage that in minimizing the damage caused by earthquakes attentionshould be focused on ________.A) the increasing use of rubber and steel in capital constructionB) the development of flexible building materialsC) the reduction of the impact of ground vibrationsD) early forecasts of earthquakes25. The author ’s main purpose in writing the passage is to ________.A) compare the consequences of the earthquakes that occurred in the U.S.B) encourage civil engineers to make more extensive use of computersC) outline the history of the development of quake-resistant building materialsD) report new developments in constructing quake-resistant buildingsPassage FourQuestions 26 to 30 are based on the following passage.“... The two big advantages I had at birth were to have been born wise and to have been born in poverty...It gave me one big advantage: none of my troubles or problems as an adult could throw me.”Sophia Loren was born in a charity ward for unmarried women in Rome in 1934. Her father Riccardo Scicolone officially recognized the child, but refused to marry the mother. Though her mother had a hard time raising her, Loren still has vivid memories of her younger years. “When I was a child, fear was common to my life — fear of having nothing to eat, fear of other children taunting me at school because I was illegitimate (私生的), and particularly fear of the big bombers appearing overhead and dropping their deadly burst from the sky.”Loren was a very young girl, when she saw the first Hollywood films. “I was filled with the feeling that that ’s what I was put on earth to do, to act, to let out whatever feelings I had inside.”However, it took a long time before Sophia was offered her first role in a film. She failed the screen tests one after the other, and it seemed as if there was no way for her to become an actress. What the cameramen could not see at first, was that her inner beauty made her stunning. Remembering the difficulties of the early days of her career, Sophia said, “I was so boldly confident about myself... I have never judged myself by other people ’s standards. I would get to wherever I was destined to go and try to alter my fate.”Sophia ’s acting career began at the age of eighteen in 1952 with her role in a film “ Africa Under the Seas ”. The film did not make a sensation, but did give a good start to the young actress. The dream of a skinny little girl, sitting in a dark movie house, was finally to come true.26. According to the passage, what did Sophia regard poverty as?A) A blessing. B) A curse.C) A disadvantage. D. A way to become wise.27. What can we infer about Sophia ’s school life?A. She was given much help by other students.B. She temporarily forgot her fear at school.C. She was laughed at by other students.D. She couldn ’t keep up with other students.28. When Sophia was young, __________.A. her father supported her and her motherB. her mother supported the family alone 终稿C. she was supported by a charity groupD. she had to make a living on her own29. What may be the reason why Sophia failed the screen tests?A. She was not famous enough.B. She had no experience in acting.C. She wasn ’t pretty enough in appearance.D. She wasn ’t suitable to become an actress.30. Sophia could be described as a woman with ________.A. great talents and wealthB. ambition and creativityC. a poor background but good luckD. wisdom and strong willPart III Vocabulary and Structure (25 minutes)Directions: There are 25 incomplete sentences in this part.

The government was badly run and people ’s lives were miserable. King Louis XIV tried to control the national parliament and raise more taxes. But his effo rt failed. He ordered his troops to Versailles. The people thought that Louis intended to put down the Revolution by force. On July 14,1789, they stormed and took the Bastille, where political prisoners were kept. Ever since that da y, July 14 has been the French National Day. Louis tried to flee the country in 1792 to get support from Austria and Prussia. However, he was caught and put in prison. In September 1792, the monarchy was abolished. In the same year, Louis was executed. A few months later his wife, Marie also had her head cut off. The Revolution of France had frig htened the other kings of Europe. Armies from Austria and Prussia began to march against France. The French raised republican armies to defend the nation. The Revolution went through a period of terror. Thousands of people lost thei r lives. In the end, power passed to Napoleon Bonaparte. (190 words)6. What’s this passage about?A. France.B. King Louis.C. The French Revolution.D. Europe.7. Which did not happen in 1789?A. The French Revolution broke out.B. The national economy was developing rapidly.C. The government wasn’t well run.D. King Louis XIV was in power.8. Where were the political prisoners kept?A. In Versailles.B. In Austria.C. In Prussia.D. In Bastille.9. What does the underlined word “abolished” mean?A. Put off.B. Established.C. United.D. Ended.10. What was NOT the effect of the Revolution?A. July 14 has become the French National Day.B. It brought some impact on the other European Kings.C. Louis’s wife, Marie was killed.D. The king tried to control the national parliament.6-10 CBDDDPassage 2In the United States, it is not customary to telephone someone very early in the morning. If you telephone him early in the day, while he is shaving or having breakfast, the time of the call shows that the matter is very important a nd requires immediate attention. The same meaning is attached to telephone calls made after 11:00 p.m. If someone re ceives a call during sleeping hours, he assumes it’s a matter of life or death. The time chosen for the call commun icates its importance. In social life, time plays a very important part. In the U.S.A. guests tend to feel they are not highly regarded if the invitation to a dinner party is extended only three or four days before the party date. B ut it is not true in all countries. In other areas of the world, it may be considered foolish to make an appointment too far in advance because plans which are made for a date more than a week away tend to be forgotten. The meaning of time differs in different parts of the world. Thus, misunderstandings arise between people from different culture s that treat time differently. Promptness is valued highly in American life, for example. If people are not prompt, they may be regarded as impolite or not fully responsible. In the U.S. no one would think of keeping a business asso ciate waiting for an hour, it would be too impolite. A person who is 5 minutes late, will say a few words of explana tion, though perhaps he will not complete the sentence. (260 words)11.What is the main idea of this passage? __________A. It is not customary to telephone someone in the morning and in sleeping hours in the U.S.B. The role of time in social life over the world.C. If people are not prompt, they may be regarded as impolite or not fully responsible in the U.S.D. Not every country treats the concept of time as the same.12.What does it mean in the passage if you call someone during his or her sleeping hours? __________A. A matter of work.B. A matter of life or death.C. You want to see him or her.D. You want to make an appointment with him or her.13.Which of the following time is proper if you want to make an appointment with your friend? __________A.at 7: 00 am.B.at 4:00 pm.C.at the midnight.D. at 4:00 am.14.Which of the following statements is true according to the passage? __________A. In the U.S.A guests tend to feel they are highly regarded if the invitation to a dinner party is extended only th ree or four days before the party date.B. There is no misunderstanding arising between people from different cultures about the concept of time.C. It may be considered foolish to make an appointment well in advance in the U.S.A..D. Promptness is valued highly in American life.15.From the passage we can safely infer that __________.A. it’s a matter of life or death if you call someone in day timeB. the meaning of time differs in different parts of the worldC. it makes no difference in the U.S. whether you are early or late for a business partyD. if a person is late for a date, he needn’t make some explanation11-15 BBBDB第三部分:词汇与结构(5题,每题3分,共15分)16.Professor Smith promised to look ______ my paper, that is, to read it carefully before the defense.A. afterB. overC. onD. into17.Our house is about a mile from the railway station and there are not many houses ______.A. in betweenB. far apartC. among themD.from each other18.As the bus came round the corner, it ran ______ a big tree by the roadside.A. intoB. onC. overD. up19.On average, a successful lawyer has to talk to several ______ a day.A. customersB. supportersC. guestsD. clients20.What is the train _____ to Birmingham?A. feeB. tipC. fareD. cost16-20 BAADC第四部分:完形填空(10题,每题1分,共10分)There were once three sons of a wealthy businessman. 21 they met, the two eldest, who were twins, 22 to qu arrel about which of them should be his father’s heir(继承人).
