He sat in R5 of them, dressed in a plain, ill-fitting R6 , never moving, his dusty face R7 his age. He kept chewing the inside of his lip a lot,R8 into complete silence.Deep into the night, outside Washington, the bus R9 into Howard Johnson’s, and everybody got off except Vingo who sat R10 in his seat.Section B (21 Points)Directions:There are 2 passages in this section. 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 with a single line through the centre.Passage OneQuestions 21 to 25 are based on the following passage.Every artist knows in his heart that he is saying something to the public. Not only does he want to say it well, but he wants it to be something that has not been said before. He hopes the public will listen and understand --- he wants to teach them, and he wants them to learn from him.What visual artists like painters want to teach is easy to make out but difficult to explain, because painters translate their experiences into shapes and colors, not words. They seem to feel that a certain selection of shapes and colors out of the countless patterns is exceptionally interesting for them and worth showing to us. Without their work we should never have noticed these particular shapes and colors, nor have felt the delight which they brought to the artist.Most artists take their shapes and colors from the world of nature and from human bodies in motion and repose(歇息). Their choices indicate that these aspects of the world are worth looking at, and that they contain beautiful sights. Contemporary artists might say that they merely choose subjects that provide an interesting pattern, and that there is nothing more in it. Yet even they do not choose entirely without reference to the character of their subjects.If one painter chooses to paint a gangrenous(长坏疽的) leg and another a lake in moonlight, each of them is directing our attention to a certain aspect of the world. Each painter is telling us something, showing us something, emphasizing something --- all of which means that, consciously or unconsciously, he is trying to teach us.21. It is hard to explain what a painter is saying, because________.A) most painters do not express themselves wellB) a painter uses unusual words and phrasesC) a painter uses shapes and colors instead of wordsD) many painters do not say anything22. A painter chooses certain shapes and colors because he feels that they ______.A) have been used frequently in the past C) are worth showing to the publicB) are easy to work with D) will be most attractive to the public23. The writer says that contemporary artists might say their choice of subject ________.A) carries a message to the publicB) only provides interesting patternC) has no pattern or formD) teaches the public important truths24. The passage implied but not stated________.A) a painting is more easily understood than a symphonyB) art is merely the arranging of shape and colorC) every artist tries to say something to the publicD) one must look beyond shape and color to understand what the artist is sayingPassage TwoQuestions 25 to 29 are based on the following passage.One day in 1754, a man went to the market in Florence, Italy, and bought some meat. The shopkeeper wrapped the meat in a piece of paper and the man took it home. When he unwrapped the meat, he was surprised to see some old writings on the paper.This man was in charge of the public library, so he knew a lot about old books and old writings. He realized that the paper was a page of scientific notes.“Only one man wrote like that,” the librarian said to himself. “It was Galileo(伽利略) who wrote these notes!”Who was Galileo? Galileo was a famous Italian scientist. He was a man of ideas, but he was also a man of action. He made many experiments in order to find out more about the earth and the universe. Galileo believed that scientists should not only sit in universities and talk about theories, but they should also make practical experiments and learn from the results.Galileo wrote down notes of all the experiments he made. After Galileo’s death in 1642, Viviani, one of his students, collected the notes together and put them into his own library. However, when Viviani died, nobody looked at Galileo’s notes any longer. For many years, people forgot about them.The librarian hurried back to the market and asked the shopkeeper where he had got the paper from. The shopkeeper led him to the house where he bought the paper from. In the house, the librarian found many more of Galileo’s notes. The family gave them to him.In this way, a large number of important notes about Galileo’s experiments were saved.25. The librari an got Galileo’s notes from ____.A) the butcher C) a family living in Viviani’s houseB) Viviani D) the market near Viviani’s house26. Which statement about Galileo is NOT true?A) He was full of ideas. C) He was an Italian.B) He did a lot of experiments. D) He gave his notes to Viviani.27. Which statement about Viviani is NOT true?A) He kept Galileo’s notes.B) He was Galileo’s student.C) He passed on the notes to his daughter.D) He put the notes in his own library.28. After Viviani’s death, the notes ____.A) were given to one of his friends C) were lostB) were left somewhere in his house D) lost its value29. It can be inferred from the story that ____.A) the family was unaware that they had Galileo’s notesB) the librarian bought the notesC) Viviani gave the notes to the familyD) the shopkeeper informed the librarian of the notesPassage ThreeQuestions 30 to 34 are based on the following passageWe were married in October just prior to the beginning of heavy snowfalls. It would snow heavily throughout the whole winter. Our only entertainment was listening to the radio or attending the local high school sporting events. My new husband was a lover of sports. He had been a world-class boxer and also participated in most sports. I was a lover of the arts. Speech, drama and dance were my first love. The nearest town with this kind of entertainment was forty miles away and the highway was closed off during much of the winter.We had only been married seven months when I received word that my mother, who was battling cancer, would not live much longer. Even though there was the dairy with 75 cows and a large farm to take care of, as soon as my husband read the telegram, he sadly said, “Honey, get your bags packed while I make reservations for you. Your place is with your mother and your father right now.” To him there had been no other decision to make. Every week I would receive a letter telling me all about how the farm was doing and inquiring about my parents and how we were all doing. Little was said about his sadness of being alone, or of missing his new wife, except at the very end of his letters where an unmistakeable “I love you” was written. Teenage dream letters would have been filled with remarks of undying love and pain of missing me, but his letters were simple words of reality.Four months later, after the funeral and final matters were taken care of with my father and brother, I returned to Idaho where I knew my husband would be at the airport to meet me.The look in his eyes told me more than any dream letter could. The joy and honesty of love was deep. On the 80-mile drive to our home, I talked incessantly while he quietly listened, without interrupting. When he finally had a chance to say something, he asked me to open the glove compartment of the car and take out an envelope with my name on it. “I wanted to give you something special to let you know how much I missed you,” he said quietly.I opened the envelope to find season tickets, for both of us, to all of the area’s fine art functions. Our income was not all that great and I was stunned. “I don’t believe this,” I cried. “You don’t enjoy these things!”When I finally stopped protesting, he reached out, hugged me, and quietly said, “No, but you do, and I will learn.”In that moment I realized marriage wasn’t 50/50, but real love was made of 100/0 sometimes. Love means putting the other one first. His example taught his young wife a great lesson – a lesson that has made a happy marriage for 51 years.30. For the entertainment on the farm during the winter ______.A) there were many sporting eventsB) one could only listen to the radio or attend local high school sporting eventsC) there were many boxing matchesD) one could easily attend speech, drama, and dance programs31. How did the husband react when they were told the author’s mother was dying soon?A) He felt sorry that his wife had to leave him.B) He found it difficult to make a decision.C) He encouraged his wife to go back and take care of her mother.D) He was worried about having to do the heavy farm work alone.32. Which of the following was NOT mentioned in the husband’s letters to the author?A) How he was doing with the farm.B) Asking about the author’s parents.C) The words “I love you”.D) How he missed her.33. What does “incessantly” mean in the 4th paragraph mean?A)loudly B) rapidly C) slowly D) continuously34. Why was the author moved when her husband gave her season tickets to all of the area’s fineart functions?A) Because the tickets were difficult to get.B) Because the husband showed his love by trying to share her interests.C) Because her husband finally had a taste for arts.D) Because he pleased her in a romantic way.Part Ⅲ• Vocabulary and Structure (9 points)Directions: There are 18 incomplete sentences in this part.

How Does Education Promote Success?
1 Education the process of developing and training the mind should be far more than the accumulation of credit hours. If you take advantage of all education has to offer, you will develop the skills and talents you need to succeed in your career and in life.
2 How can education help you succeed? Here are some of the ways.
3 Education gives you tools for lifelong learning. You learn facts while you are in school, but more importantly, you learn how to think. While s ome of the facts and figures you learn today may not apply to the world of tomorrow, your ability to think will be useful always, in everything you do.
Education improves your quality of life. Income and employment get a boost from education. According to a report from the Digest of Education, as educational levels rise, income levels rise and unemployment rates decrease.
5 Education expands your self-concept. As you rise to the challenges of education, you will discover that your capacity for knowledge and personal growth is greater than you imagined. As your abilities grow, so do opportunities to learn and do more in class, on the job, and in your community.
6 Education enlarges your possibilities. Education gives you a base of choices and increased power. First, through different courses of study, it introduces you to more choices of career and life goals. Second, through the training you receive, it gives you more power to achieve the goals you choose. For example, while taking a writing class, you may learn about careers in journalism. This experience may lead you to take a class in journalistic writing that teaches you about reporting. Down the road, you may decide to work on a newspaper and to make journalism your career. Looking back, you realize that two classes you took in college changed the course of your life.
7 Education improves your employability and earning potential. Learning additional skills raises your competence so you can fulfill the requirements of higher-level jobs. In addition, having a college degree makes an impression on potential employers and makes you eligible for higher-salaried positions.
8 Education makes you a well-rounded person. As it widens your understanding about what is possible in the world, education increases your awareness and appreciation of areas that affect and enrich human lives, such as music, art, literature, science, politics, and economics.
9 Education affects both community involvement and personal health. Education helps to prepare individuals for community activism by helping them understand political, economic, and social conditions. Education also increases knowledge about health behavior and preventive care. The more education you have, the more likely you are to practice healthy habits in your daily life and to make informed decisions.
10 Education is more than the process of going to school and earning a degree or certificate. It is a choice to improve your mind and your skills. Any program, no matter what the length or the focus, is an opportunity to set and strive for goals. Education is what you make of it. A dedicated, goal-oriented learner will benefit more from school than a student who doesn't focus. If you make the most of your mind, your time, and your educational opportunities, you will realize your potential.。
