She smiled as she led her students to the bus that would take them to the Greenly Apple Orchard（果园）.The bus ride was bumpy and the kids were a little noisy, but still Miss Joan was smiling.The bus stopped in front of the Greenly Orchard Store and the class got off quickly and quietly. Miss Joan made sure everyone was there. “What a glorious,sunny, apple picking day,” Miss Joan announced with her grandest smile.Mr. Greenly was there to greet them. “Let see, there are eighteen children and two adults atMiss Joan held u p the brochure in her hand. “It says that the price is two dollars each,”she pointed ort. “That‟s what I collected from everyone.”“We‟ve had to raise the price,” Mr. Greenly stated.“You sent me this brochure after we made our reservation,” Miss Joan complained, “and it says two dollars!”“Miss Joan, if you look at the bottom of this brochure,” Mr. Greenly said, “you‟ll notice a very important statement.”Sure enough, in very tiny letters, it said, “Prices are subject to change without notice.”Miss Joan was determined to keep her good mood. She took a twenty dollars bill out of her own purse and handed it to Mr. Greenly with the forty dollars she had in an envelope.“Now children, do you all have your baskets?” Miss Joan called out. “Remember, you can pic k as many apples six apples each.”“I beg your pardon!”Miss Joan was not smiling now. “The brochure says,…ALL YOU CAN PICK‟!”Mr. Greenly pointed to the tiniest letters Miss Joan had ever almost seen. It also says, “Terms and conditions of group reservat ions are subject to change without notice.”Miss Joan‟s good mood was now history. She didn‟t want to set a bad example for her students, so she said in a calm and quiet voice, “We‟re going home, give me our money back, please.”31.How many dollars did Miss Joan hand to Mr. Greenly?A. 20.B. 40.C. 60.D. 1832.The phrase “subject to change without notice” suggests .A.Mr. Greenly could change the terms at will.B.the customers should read the brochure carefullyC.Mr. Greenly could determine what apples to be picked.D.the customers should be informed beforehand.33.The students could not pick as many apples as they would like because .A.they were children.B. there were not enough apples.C. they had made a group reservation.D. they would eat up too many apples.34.“Miss Joan‟s good mood was now history?”(the last paragraph) means .A.Miss Joan had been happy until that moment.B.Miss Joan was no longer interested in history.C.Miss Joan taught her students the history of the orchard.D.Miss Joan was good at concealing her feelings35.What can we learn about Miss Joan from the story?A.

There has been a strong tendency to use them interchangeably as though they mean the same thing, but they are not the same.Although modern in their usage, the two words derived from ancient Latin. The word civilization is based on the Latin civis, of a city. Thus civilization, in its most essential meaning, isit would seem that certain insects, such as ants or bees, are also civilized. They live and work together in social groups. So do some microorganisms. But there is more to civilization, and that is what culture brings to it. So, civilization is inseparable from culture.The word culture is derived from the Latin verb colere, till the soil. But colere also has a wider range of meanings. It may, like civis, mean inhabiting a town or village. But most of its definitions suggest a process of starting and promoting growth and development. One may cultivate a garden; one may also cultivate one‟s interests, mind, and abilities. In its modern use the word culture refers to all the positive aspects and achievements of humanity that make mankind different from the rest of the animal world. Culture has grown out of creativity, a characteristic that seems to be unique to human beings.One of the basic and best-know features of civilization and culture is the presence of tools. But more important than their simple existence is that the tools are always being improved and enlarged upon, a result of creativity. It took thousands of years to get from the first wheel to the latest, most advanced model of automobile.It is the concept of humans as toolmakers and improvers that differentiates them from other animals. A monkey may use a stick to knock a banana from a tree, but that stick will never, through a monkey‟s clevernes s, be modified into a hook or a ladder. Monkeys have never devised a spoken language, written a book, composed a melody, built a house, or painted a portrait. To say that birds build nests and beavers(海狸)their dens is to miss the point. People once lived in caves, but their cleverness, imagination, and creativity led them to progress beyond caves to buildings.36. What does the author think of the words “civilization”and “culture”?A. They are identical.B. They are different concepts.C. They can often be used interchangeably.D. They are defined differently by different people.37. According to the author the word “civilization” originally refers to .A. people‟s way of life in citiesB. people‟s ability to live together in citiesC. a type of social organizationsD. an advanced level of social life38. The Latin verb colere originally means “”.A. live in a cityB. develop oneselfC. promote growthD. cultivate the land39. The author believes that creativity .A. is a unique feature of civilized beingsB. brings forth the improvement of toolsC. is the result of human developmentD. helps the advance of culture40. The author mentions monkeys in the last paragraph to show that .A. monkeys are the same as birdsB. people once lived in caves like monkeysC. monkeys can never develop into human beingsD. man is different from other animals such as monkeysPassage ThreeThe huge growth of global “ecotourism”industry is becoming an increasing concern for conservationists with mounting evidence that many wild species do not respond well to contact with human beings. Overexposure to tourists has been linked to stress, abnormal behaviour and adverse health effects in species such as polar bears, dolphins and gorillas(大猩猩)，says a report in New Scientist.While regulated ecotourism can help conservation efforts by encouraging people to manage endangered species and their habitats, many projects are poorly designed and unregulated, it says.environmentally friendly policies and operations.”While regulated ecotourism can help conservation efforts by encouraging people to manage endangered species and their habitats, “many projects are p oorly designed and hint they are based on environmentally friendly policies and operations.”Ecotourism is growing by 10 to 30 percent a year and an estimated 20 percent of tourists are thought to visit a conservation-based project. Philip Seddon, of the University of Otago in New Zealand, said that although most tourist projects conformed to basic guidelines on land use and not scaring wildlife, their full impact was rarely considered.“Transmission of disease to wildlife, or subtle changes to wildlife health through disturbance of daily routines or increased stress levels may translate to lowered survival and breeding,” he said. Research at the University of Auckland has shown that dolphins become restless and overactive when many tourist boats are present. When three or more boats are near, the dolphins rest for 0.5 percent of the time, compared with 68 percent when they are accompanied by a single boat. The findings are backed up by studies of dolphins in Britain. Researchers at the University of Manitoba in Canada have found that male polar bears easily disturbed by tourist vehicles, with a possible effect on their heart rate and metabolism(新陈代谢). That could reduce body fat levels and fitness, critical for survival.In Africa, gorillas have picked up parasites introduced to their habitat by tourists and mongooses(蠓)have caught lung diseases from human beings. Experts said that the answer to the problems was better regulation and supervision of ecotourism. The Galapagos Islands, where visitor numbers are strictly controlled, is a good model.41. Ecotourism is meant to .A. have tourists help in the conservation of wildlifeB. have wild species respond well to contact with humansC. make wild species reduce stress and abnormal behaviourD. make conservationists more concerned with wildlife42. According to New Scientist, many ecotourist projects .A. really encourage people to protect wildlife and its habitatB. strictly follow environmentally friendly policiesC. actually lack proper examination and official approvalD. seriously damage the habitats of endangered species43. What will happen to wildlife ul timately if the present “ecotourism” practice goes on?A. It will disturb their life.B. It will affect their health.C. It will increase their stress.D. It will threaten their survival.44. According to the passage, the growth in the global “ecotourism” industry .A. reflects an increasing concern for conservationB. arouses a growing concern for conservationC. coincides with a mounting concern for conservationD. originates from a grater concern for conservation45. According to the passage, a solution to the “ecotourism” problem is to .A. encourage people to manage endangered speciesB. reduce the exposure of wildlife to human beingsC. help wild animals increase their fitnessD. prevent wildlife from catching human diseasesComputers can beat chess champion Gary Kasparov at his game, count all the atoms in a nuclear explosion, and calculate complex figures in a fraction of a second, but they still fail at the slight differences in language translation. Artificial Intelligence computers have large amounts of memory, capable of storing huge translating dictionaries and extensive lists of grammar rules. Yet, today‟s best computer language translators have just a 60 percent accuracy rate. Scientist s are still unable to program the computer with human-like common sense reasoning power.Computer language translation is called Machine Translation, or MT. While not perfect, MT is surprisingly good. MT was designed to process dry, technical language that people find tedious to translate. Computers can translate basic phrases, such as “You foot bone‟s connected to your ankle bone, your ankle bone‟s connected to your leg bone.” They can translate more difficult phrases, such as “Which witch is which?” Computers can also accurately translate “Wild thing, you make my heart sing!” into other languages because they can understand individual words, as long as the words are pre-programmed in their dictionary.But highly sensitive types of translating, such as important diplomatic conversations, are beyond the scope of computer translating programs. Human translators use intuitional meaning, not logic, to process words and phrases into other languages. A human can properly translate the phrase, “The pen is in the pe n(围养禽畜的圈),” because most humans know that it means that a writing instrument is in a small enclosed space. Many times, computers do not have the ability to determine in which way two identical words in one sentence are to be used.In addition to using massive rule-programmed machines, computer programmers are also trying to teach computers to learn how to think for themselves through the “experience” of translating. Even with these efforts, programmers admit that a “thinking” computer might not ever be invented in the future.46. Computers today are capable of .A. defeating the best chess player in the worldB. telling subtle differences between languagesC. translating over 60 percent of difficult textsD. doing human-like common sense reasoning47. According to the passage, which of the following is NOT true?A. Computers can translate dry and difficult phrases.B. Computers can understand sensitive language.C. Computers can translate technical language.D. Computers can understand pre-programmed words.48. The major problem with computer translating programs is that computers .A. can not translate illogical sentencesB. do not have a large enough capacity of memoryC. can not understand grammatical rulesD. do not have intuition to process language49. To improve machine translation, computer programmers are trying to .A. use powerful rule-programmed computersB. teach computers to think by practiceC. have computers compile translating dictionariesD. add explanations of words in computer programs50. The passage suggests that .A. the accuracy rate of machine translation cannot be raisedB. it is impossible for computers to think as humans doC. only technical language is suitable for machine translationD. it is impossible to determine of identical wordsSeveral years ago during the dot-com passion, Manhattan lawyer John Kennedy sometimes wore a dark blue suit to meet potential Internet clients. But he soon realized that his conservative clothes were a strike against him before he even shook hands. So he began to do business in casual, open-shirt clothes.But now the tables have turned. Today Silicon Valley executives are the ones often coming out in suits. No wonder that Fortune 500 executives are dusting off their silk ties and pants.” I would say there is a trend now toward a little more business dress,” said Kennedy. “I find myself wearing suits more.”While there isn‟t a rush toward formal office wear, clothiers and executives say the workplace uniform is heading that way. In many offices, men are wearing jackets, ties and pants more frequently than a year age. Top women executives never went as casual as men, so the shift doesn‟t affect them as dramatically.“Business casual” took several years to catch on. It started with casual Fridays, evolved to casual summers, then became casual everyday. A return to the button-down look also will take time, observers say. Lehman Brothers is one of the few major firms that has officially returned to a formal dress policy, at least for offices that clients visit. Men were told to wear suits and ties and women to wear suits or dresses. The shift is due to a rethinking of work environments and more contacts with clients as the firm has grown.Observers mention many factors driving the trend. Internet companies helped lead the dress-down movement and other industries followed suit to attract workers. But with the collapse of many dot-coms, the relaxed look is becoming a style to avoid. Moreover, as the economy stumbles, more people are hunting for jobs or trying to keep the ones they have, and appearance counts.US President Bush wears a coat and tie in the White House office and expects his staff to dress “professionally,” which some say sets a tome for the nation.Chuck Wardell, managing director of a recruiting firm, believes a lot of employees like a stiffer uniform. “They‟re going to work. They don‟t want to feel like they‟re going to a picnic.”51.”Business casual” was prevalent several years ago because _____.A. the Manhattan law business grew very quicklyB. shaking hands with clients became popularC. the country was fighting the conservativesD. the Internet companies boomed then52. When the “bu siness ca sual” prevailed, _____.A. businessmen wore ties only in workplaceB. businessmen didn‟t wear ties at allC. businesswomen didn‟t wear formally in workplaceD. businesswomen still wore formally everywhere53. The Fortune 500 executives__________.A. set the trend toward more casual wearB. are particular about what they wearC. begin to wear suits more often than beforeD. are usually indifferent to fashion trend54. At the beginning of the “business casual” trend, business people wore casually___________.A. when meeting clientsB. on weekendsC. in summerD. almost every day55. It is implied in the passage that the change of business dress from the casual to the formalreflects_____.A. the changed of people‟s taste in fashionB. the ups and downs of the fashion industryC. the ups and downs of the Internet companiesD. people‟s different preference in business dressPart IV CloseThe United States has historically had higher rates of marriage than those of other industrialized countries. The current annual marriage 56 in the United States ---about 9 new marriages for every 1,000 people ---is 57 higher than it is in other industrialized countries. However, marriage is 58 as widespread as it was several decades ago. 59 of American adults who are married 60 _ form 72 percent in 1970 to 60 percent in 2002.This does not mean that large numbers of people will remain unmarried 61 their lives. Throughout the 20th century, about 90 percent of Americans married at some 62 in their lives. Experts_ 63 that about the same proportion of today‟s young adults will eventually marry.The timing of marriage has varied 64 over the past century. In 1995 the average age of women in the United States at the time of their first marriage was 25.The average age of men was about 27.Men and women in the United States marry for the first time at an average of five years later than people did in the 1950s. 65 ,young adults of the 1950s married younger than did any previous 66 in U.S. history. Today‟s later age of marriage is 67 the age of marriage between 1890 and 1940. Moreover, a greater proportion of the population was married (95 percent)during the 1950s than at any time before 68 .Experts do not agree on why the “marriage rush” of the late 1940s and 1950s occurred, but most social scientists believe it represented a 69 to the return of peaceful life and prosperity after 15 years of severe economic 70 and war.56. A. rate B. ratio C. percentage D. poll57. A. potentially B. intentionally C. randomly D. substantially相当大的58. A. not any longer B. no more C. no longer D. not any more59. A. A proportion B. The proportion C. The number D. A number60. A. declined B. deteriorated C. deduced D. demolished61. A. past B. passing C. throughout D. through62. A. period B. level C. point D. respect63.

A. refusal B. realization C. response D. reality70. A. repression B. aggression C. restriction D. depressionPart V Error Detection71. It is an accepted custom for guests to take their gifts to the wedding reception when the coupleinvited them to attend.72. Some international students use a cassette recorder to make tapes of their classes so that theycan repeat the lectures again.73. Despite of diligent efforts to promote domestic production during the war years, the ContinentalArmy had to rely primarily on captures and imports for much of its military hardware and even for clothing.74. In a sense, farmers began primitive genetic engineering at the dawn of agriculture, which theykept seeds from their best plants, gradually improving the quality of successive generations.。

(76) They contain the quickest and the most efficient means of communicating within their respective culture. To learn a foreign language is to learn another culture. In the words of a poet and philosopher, "As many languages as one speaks, so many lives one lives." A culture and its language are as necessary as brain and body: while one is a part of the other, neither can function without the other. In learning a foreign language, the best beginning would be starting with the non-language elements of the language: its gestures, its body language, etc. Eye contact is extremely important in English. Direct eye contact leads to understanding, or, as the English saying goes, seeing eye-to-eye. We can never see eye to-eye with a native speaker of English until we have learned to look directly into his eyes.SSS_SINGLE_SEL1.The best title for this passage is ______.A Organs of CultureB Brain and BodyC Looking into His EyesD Language and Culture该题您未回答:х该问题分值: 2答案:D本题考查的是考生对全文主旨的把握，此题要求选择题目(title)。

2005年4月北京成人学士学位英语考试真题及答案Part I Reading Comprehension （30%）Directions： There are four passages in this part. 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 center.Passage 1Questions I to 5 are based on the following passage：When we talk about intelligence， we do not mean the ability to get good scores on certain kinds of tests or even the ability to do well in school. By intelligence we mean a way of living and behaving， especially in a new or upsetting situation. If we want to test intelligence， we need to find out how a person acts instead of how much he knows what to do.（76） For instance， when in a new situation， an intelligent person thinks about the situation， not about himself or what might happen to him. He tries to find out all he can， and then he acts immediately and tries to do something about it. He probably isn't sure how it will all work out， but at least he tries. And，if he can't make things work out right， he doesn't feel ashamed that he failed；he just tries to learn from his mistakes. An intelligent person， even if he is very young， has a special outlook on life， a special feeling about life， and knows how he fits into it.If you look at children， you'll see great difference between what we call “bright” children and “not-bright” children. They are actually two different kinds of people， not just the same kind with different amount of intelligence. For example， the bright child really wants to find out about life-he tries to get in touch with everything around him. （77） But， the unintelligent child keeps more to himself and his own dream-world； he seems to have a wall between him and life in general.1. According to this passage， intelligence is __________.A. the ability to study wellB. the ability to do well in schoolC. the ability to deal with lifeD. the ability to get high scores on some tests2.

If an intelligent person failed， he would__________.A. try not to feel ashamedB. learn from his experiencesC. try to regret as much as possibleD. make sure what result he would get4. Bright children and not-bright children__________.A. are two different types of childrenB. are different mainly in their degree of clevernessC. have difference only in their way of thinkingD. have different knowledge about the world5. The author of this passage will probably continue to talk about __________.A. how to determine what intelligence isB. how education should be foundC. how to solve practical problemsD. how an unintelligent person should be taughtPassage 2Questions 6 to 10 are based on the following passage：Human needs seem endless. （78） When a hungry man gets a meal， he begins to think about an overcoat， when a manager gets a new sports car， a big house and pleasure boats dance into view.The many needs of mankind might be regarded as making up several levels. Whenthere is money enough to satisfy one level of needs， another level appears.The first and most basic level of needs involves food. Once this level is satisfied， the second level of needs， clothing and some sort of shelter， appears.By the end of World War II， these needs were satisfied for a great majority of Americans. Then a third level appeared. It included such items as automobiles and new houses.By 1957 or 1958 this third level of needs was fairly well satisfied. Then，in the late 1950s， a fourth level of needs appeared： the “life-enriching” level. （79） While the other levels involve physical satisfaction， that is， the feeding，comfort， safety， and transportation， this level stresses mental needs for recognition， achievement， and happiness. It includes a variety of goods and services， many of which could be called “luxury” items. Among them are vacation trips， the best medical and dental care， and recreation. Also included here are fancy goods and the latest styles in clothing.On the fourth level， a lot of money is spent on services， while on the first three levels more is spent on goods. Will consumers raise their sights to a fifth level of needs as their income increases， or will they continue to demand luxuries and personal services on the fourth level？A fifth level would probably involve needs that can be achieved best by community action. Consumers may be spending more on taxes to pay for government action against disease， ignorance， crime， and prejudice. After filling our stomachs， our clothes closets， our garages， our teeth， and our minds， we now may seek to ensure the health， safety， and leisure to enjoy more fully the good things on the first four levels.6. According to the passage， man will begin to think about such needs as housing and clothing only when __________A. he has saved up enough moneyB. he has grown dissatisfied with his simple shelterC. he has satisfied his hungerD. he has learned to build houses7. It can be inferred from the passage that by the end of World War II， most Americans __________.A. were very richB. lived in povertyC. had the good things on the first three levelsD. did not own automobiles8. Which of the following is NOT related to “physical satisfaction”？A. A successful career.B. A comfortable home.C. A good meal.D. A family car.9. What is the main concern of man on the fourth level？A. The more goods the better.B. The more mental satisfaction the better.C. The more “luxury” items the better.D. The more earnings the better.10. The author tends to think that the fifth level __________A. would be little better than the fourth levelB. may be a lot more desirable than the first fourC. can be the last and most satisfying levelD. will become attainable before the government takes actionsPassage 3Questions 11 to 15 are based on the following passage：We use both words and gestures to express our feelings， but the problem is that these words and gestures can be understood in different ways.It is true that a smile means the same thing in any language. So does laughter or crying. There are also a number of striking similarities in the way different animals show the same feelings. Dogs， tigers and humans， for example， often show their teeth when they are angry. This is probably because they are born with those behavior patterns.Fear is another emotion that is shown in much the same way all over the world. （80） In Chinese and in English literature， a phrase like “he went pale and begin to tremble” suggests that the man is either very afraid or he has just got a very big shock. However，“he opened his eyes wide” is used to suggest anger in Chinese whereas in English it means surprise. In Chinese “surprise” can be described in a phrase like 'they stretched out their tongues！' Sticking out your tongue in English is an insulting gesture or expresses strong dislike.Even in the same culture， people differ in ability to understand and express feelings. Experiments in America have shown that women are usually better thanmen at recognizing fear， anger， love and happiness on people's faces. Other studies show that older people usually find it easier to recognize or understand body language than younger people do.11. According to the passage， __________.A. we can hardly understand what people's gestures meanB. we can not often be sure what people mean when they describe their feelings in words or gesturesC. words can be better understood by older peopleD. gestures can be understood by most of the people while words can not12. People's facial expressions may be misunderstood because __________.A. people of different ages may have different understandingB. people have different culturesC. people of different sex may understand a gesture in a different wayD. people of different countries speak different languages13. In the same culture， __________.A. people have different ability to understand and express feelingsB. people have the same understanding of somethingC. people never fail to understand each otherD. people are equally intelligent14. From this passage， we can conclude __________.A. words are used as frequently as gesturesB. words are often found difficult to understandC. words and gestures are both used in expressing feelingsD. gestures are more efficiently used than words15. The best title for this passage may be __________.A. Words and FeelingsB. Words， Gestures and FeelingsC. Gestures and FeelingsD.

Unfortunately, book prices are so high nowadays that many students can hardly afford to buy them. In face of soaring book price, we have come up with some “trick s”to deal with this unfavorable situation.First, making full use of library resources is the most common “trick”. Our library has a large collection of books on various subjects and from different countries. We find it very beneficial to do so. The second “trick” is that we exchange our own books. As a saying puts it, “Buying books is not so good as borrowing them”. We tend to spend more time reading books borrowed from other students than our own books. Third, we buy books through co-payment. Since each student pays only a partof the cost, books do not seem to unaffordable. This is a self-deceiving “trick”, of course.Though we have thought of some “tricks”to cope with soaring prices, we sincerely hope that book prices will go down sharply so that every student will find books really affordable。

After reading each passage, you will find5 questions or unfinished statements. For each question or statement there are 4choices marked A., B., C. and D. You should choose the most appropriate answer andwrite the letter in the corresponding space on the Answer Sheet.Questions 16 to 20 are based on the following passage.For thousands of years, people have looked up at the night sky and looked at the moon. They wondered what the moon was made of. They wanted to know how big it was and how far away it was. One of the most interesting questions was “Where did the moon come from?” No one knew for sure. Scientists developed many different theories, or guesses, but they could not prove that their ideas were correct.Then, between 1969 and 1972, the United States sent astronauts to the moon. They studied the moon and returned to the earth with rock samples. Scientists have studied these pieces of rock, the moon’s movements, an d information about the moon and the earth. They can finally answer questions about the origin of the moon.Today most scientists believe that the moon formed from the earth. They think that a large object hit the earth early in its history. Perhaps the object was as big as Mars. When the object hit the earth, huge pieces of the earth broke off. These pieces then moved around the earth. After a brief time, the pieces came together and formed the moon.This “impact(撞击)theory” exposes many facts about the ea rth and the moon. For example, the moon is very dry because the impact created so much heat that it dried up all the water. The earth has iron in its centre. However, the moon has very little iron in its centre. This is because the moon formed from lighter materials that make up the outer part of the earth. Finally, the earth and the moon are almost of the same age: the earth is about 4.5 billionyears old, while the moon is about 4.4 billion years old.No one can prove that something really happened billions of years ago. In the future, new information will either support this theory or show that it is wrong. For now, scientists accept the impact theory because it explains what we know today about the earth and the moon.16. From the first paragraph we know that when people looked at the moon they ________.A. wished to travel to itB. enjoyed its beauty very muchC. wanted to know more about itD. developed many theories about it17. Astronauts are people who ________.A. collect rock samplesB. are sent to work in spaceC. are interested in the moonD. study the structure of the moon18. We can infer from the second paragraph that ________.A. answers to the moon have been found out at lastB. scientists are eager to send more astronauts to spaceC. technology helped scientists understand the universe more and betterD. astronauts could not return to the earth without the help of scientists19. It is believed by most scientists that ________.A. the moon was hit by an object as large as MarsB. the moon formed from pieces of rock from MarsC. the pieces from Mars came together to form the earthD. the moon is made up of materials similar to those of the earth20. The “impact theory” sounds reasonable beca use ________.A. scientists have found what happened billions of years agoB. it is based on the newly gathered information about MarsC. it can answer many questions raised about the moon and the earthD. astronauts believe that the moon and the earth are of the same ageQuestions 21 to 25 are based on the following passage.I was 15 when I walked into McCarley’s Bookstore in Ashland, Ore., and began scanning titles on the shelves. The man behind the counter, Mac McCarley, asked if I’d like a job. I needed to start saving for college, so I said yes.I worked after school and during summers for minimum wage, and the job helped pay for my freshman year of college. I would work many other jobs: I brewed(煮) coffee in the student union during college, was a hotel maid and even made maps for the U. S. Forest Service. But selling books was one of the most satisfying.One day a woman asked me for books on cancer. She seemed fearful. I showed her virtually everything we had in stock and found other books we could order. She left the store less apprehensive, and I’ve always remembered th e pride I felt in having helped her.Years later, as a television reporter in Los Angeles, I heard about an immigrant child who was born with his thumb attached, weblike, to the rest of his hand. His family could not afford corrective surgery, and the boy lived in shame, hiding his hand in his pocket.I persuaded my boss to let me do the story. After my story was broadcast, a doctor and a nurse called, offering to perform the surgery for free. I visited the boy in the recovery room after the operation. The first thing he did was ho ld up his repaired hand and say, “Thank you.” I felt an overwhelming(巨大的) sense of reward.At McCarley’s Bookstore, I always sensed I was working for the customers, not the store. Today it’s the same. NBC News pays my salary, but I feel as if I work for the viewers, helping them make sense of the world.21. The author accepted the job because ________.A. she wanted to make some money to go to collegeB. she couldn’t find anything better to doC. selling books was one of the most satisfying jobsD. helping people made her feel proud22. The author felt very proud ________.A. because she could help do something for the bookstoreB. when she sold all the books in stock to othersC. because she could order books for the womanD. when she did her best to help the woman23. The word “apprehensive” in the third paragraph probably means ________.A. disappointedB. worriedC. doubtedD. unhappy24. The author ________ because she wanted very much to help the boy.A. broadcast the storyB. wrote a letter to the boyC. reported the story to the publicD. wrote to a doctor and a nurse for help25. ________, the author felt that she was working for those who she served.A. Since she worked in the bookstore after schoolB. When she could help people make sense of the worldC. If she sensed she was working for the customersD. Though she worked for certain companies and got paid by themQuestions 26 to 30 are based on the following passage.One form of driver assistance that is sure to call one’s attention is intelligent speed adaptation (ISA)---a technology for forcing a driver to observe the speed limit. This works by building into the car a digital map marked with local speed restrictions. The addition of GPS (global positioning system) navigation tells the car what the maximum speed on any given stretch of road should be. Cars are then slowed down, or prevented from accelerating, whenever they are at or above the speed limit. One way to do this is to starve the engine of fuel. Another is to add a measure of play to the accelerator pedal(油门). A third is to makethe accelerator harder to push down. In future drive-by-wire vehicles, the software would refuse requests from the accelerator pedal when above the speed limit.However, people have different opinions as far as ISA is concerned. Whatever their opinions are, the main justification for ISA is likely to be the high cost of speeding. Studies suggest that ISA could reduce the number of accidents by as much as 40%, and the number of fatal accidents by nearly 60%. It could also improve fuel efficiency, remove the need for enforcing speed limits with cameras and policemen, and reduce the costs of insurance.Trials of ISA systems have already been carried out in Sweden, Denmark, the Netherlands and Britain, and more are planned in Belgium and France. Although resistance is expected from drivers as well as from motor manufacturers, ISA could be introduced gradually, first with new cars and later as retro-fitting (改装) to the remaining old cars──rather as seatbelts were introduced a generation ago. The trials show that a surprisingly large proportion of people come to accept ISA after they have lived with it fora while──again, much like the experience with seatbelts.26. According to the first paragraph the highest allowed speed of a car is to be determinedby ________.A. the acceleratorB. GPSC. a digital mapD. the driver27. One of the measures to keep a car within the speed limit is ________.A. to add less fuel to the engineB. to limit the use of acceleratorC. to push down the accelerator pedalD. to remove the pedal from accelerator28. One of the major reasons for having ISA fixed in a car is to ________.A. replace policemen with a new deviceB. warn drivers of possible accidentsC. have traffic accidents greatly reducedD. introduce fuel-efficient equipment29. According to the passage, ISA systems ________.A. are still in their testing periodB. remain a theory to be testedC. have found wide applications in the auto industryD. have been a popular invention among motor makers30. The author compares ISA with seatbelts to show that ________.A. both could reduce the death rate in traffic accidentsB. fitting ISA in a car is justifiedC. both could make a car accident less seriousD. ISA would take time for people to acceptQuestions 31 to 35 are based on the following passage.While acting may run in the family, it wasn’t Angelina Jolie’s only choice when she thought about her future career. Although Jolie has studied her craft since childhood, at onepoint the 26-year-old, who stars this month in Tomb Raider with her father, actor John Voight, wanted to be a funeral director. “I thought that the crossing over could be a beautiful thing and a time of comfort where people could reach out to each other.”Tradition appeals to Jolie, who moved with her mother, Marcheline Bertrand, and brother after her parents separated when she was two. “I never had one home. I never had an attic that had old stuff in it. We always moved, so I was never rooted anywhere. And I always dreamed of having that attic of things that I could go back and look at. And I’m very drawn to some things that are tradition, that are roots, and I think that may be why I focused on funerals.”Finally, she chose acting. “Following in my father’s footsteps,” she says, “is an interesting thing, because I think we speak to each other through our work. You don’t really know your parents in a certain way, and they don’t really know you. So he can watch a film and see how I am as a woman, the way I’m dealing with a husband who’s be en injured, or the way I’ m crying alone.”“And it’s the same for me: I can watch films of his and just see who he is.

After reading each passage, you will find 5 questions or statements. For each questionor statement there are 4 choices marked with A, B. C and D. You shouldchoose the Answer Sheet.Questions 16 to 20 are based on the following passage.Most holidaymakers are not aware of the health risks they face abroad even in the most popular destination, because official advice is not reaching them, according to a report from the Foreign Policy Center.The research by the European think tank found that only 9 percent of travelers could name a health threat on their trip, from sunburn to malaria, and only 2 percent of holidaymakers consult the Office before their departure.The failure to take necessary precautions abroad could lead to a serious situation which can be disastrous for both individual health and the global economy. The growing intensity and complexity of travel patterns means controlling health problems is becoming even more difficult. Recent outbreaks of SARS and bird flu in the Far East have shown that even relatively small outbreaks can have a great impact on countries economies and the travel industry.In 2002, Britons made 60 million trips abroad, and around 30-50 percent fell ill, though most cases were minor complaints such as sunburn. The "Health Travel" report recommends major changes in the way travelers are advised about health abroad. Worldwide studies have shown that health officers often give inadequate travel health advice that is not up-to-date, many people assume they will be told about health risks and don't realize they should seek advice themselves, and most brochures don't contain any health information.The report suggested that instead of relying on the Foreign Office to give advice, travel agents, insurers, the media and guide books should all pass on health information. It said there should be more projects along the lines of the “Know Before You Go" campaign which asks travel companies to pass on Foreign Officers advice to customers.But it said advisers should not be overly scrutinized (my) in case they stopped publishing warnings, and travelers should be aware there is always an element of uncertainty in any health warning. Equally, the report said that too many warnings might mean tourists would stop paying attention to them.16. Most tourists traveling in foreign countries have little know-ledge of _______.A. the health problems on the tripB. the diseases they have developedC. the policy of the destination countryD. the advice given by the local hospital17. The outbreak of a disease is harder to control because _______.A. individual health problem is ignored by both the government and the touristsB. the way people travel today has become more complexC. there is lack of international cooperationD. it is often infectious in nature8. According to a report in the "Health Travel”, __________.A. great changes have taken place in the way the tourists travel overseasB. many travelers failed to realize the health risks they would face abroadC. travel agents, insurers and media often give wrong health information to touristsD. travel health advice provided for the tourists is not adequate and often out of date19. The word “impact”(Line 5, Para. 3) most probably means _______.A. affectionB. influenceC. contributionD. significance20. The author's purpose in writing the passage is ________.A. to stress the health threat that tourists face abroadB. to inform people of diseases in scenic spots abroadC. to advise travelers about what to do before the travel abroadD. to discuss the relationship between one s health and world's economy Questions 21 to 25 are based on the following passage.Be careful of those who use the truth to deceive. When someone tells you something that is true, but leaves out important information that should be included, he can create a false impression. For example, someone might say, I just won a hundred dollars on the lottery (my). It was great. I took that dollar ticket back to the store and turned it in for one hundred dollars! " This guy’s a winner, right? Maybe yes, maybe no, we then discovered that he bought two hundred tickets, and only one was a winner. He's really a big loser!He didn't say anything that was false, but he deliberately omittedimportant information. That's called a half-truth. Half-truths are not technically lies, but they are just as dishonest.Untrustworthy candidates in political campaigns often use this strategy. Let's say that during Governor Smith's last term, her state lost one million jobs and gained three million jobs. Then she seeks another term. One of her opponents runs an ad saying, “During Governor Smith's term, the State lost one million jobs!" That's true. However, an honest statement would have been, "During Governor Smith's tern, the State had a net gain of two million jobs."Advertisers will sometimes use half-truths. It's against the law to make false claims so they try to mislead you with the truth. An ad might boast (自夸), " Nine out of ten doctors recommend Yucky Pills to cure nose pimples (疙瘩) . " It fails to mention that they only asked ten doctors and nine of them work for the Yucky Corporation. This kind of deceiving happens too often. It's a sad fact of life Lies are lies, and sometime the truth can be a lie as well.21. The word "deceive" (Line 1, Para. 1 ) probably means ______ in this passage.A. to tell someone to make his judgmentB. to refuse to believe that something is trueC. to make someone believe something is trueD. to give someone a wrong belief about something22. According to the passage, the half-truths used by advertisers in their advertisements are often _______.A. illogicalB. interestingC. misleadingD. persuasive23. The author's purpose in writing this passage is to tell readers _______.A. to think carefully about what they read and hearB. to avoid leaving out important informationC. how to read advertisementsD. how to deal with liars24. Which statement is true according to the passage?A. It's common to deliberately omit important information in a news report.B. It's quite likely that that the truth can be used in dishonest ways.C. Most people became jobless during Governor Smith's term.D. it is a fact that lies are lies but truths can hardly be lies.25. Which is the best title for this passage?A. Why People Lie.B. Making False Claims.C. Lying with the Truth.D. How to Win a Lottery.Questions 26 to 30 are based on the following passage,Now, online learning has become acceptable and common -place it is seen by students and employees as a more flexible and convenient way to takeclasses; it will allow courses to De delivered more cost-effectively; and teachers figure they d better start teaching online or be left without a job Whether any of this is true or not doesn't matter ~ online learning is "hot" and everybody wants to be a part of it.The following questions are intended to guide you in your decision about whether an online course is a good match for you.Yes No1.

This passage is probably _______.A. an application form for an online learningB. a survey report about online learningC. an analysis test on the characteristics required by online learningD. an advertisement of the online course at an American university Questions 31 to 35 are based on the following passage.If the developing-world Colombians are happy mostly because they really like to be and the developed-world Japanese are not so happy because for them, personal happiness isn't part of the plan, it would seem to follow that one's happiness has little to do with material well-being and a lot to do with attitude- at lest when it comes to filling out surveys. The planets happiest souls, as determined by the World Happiness Database at Rotterdam’s Erasmus University, are the Danes, the Swiss and the Maltese, all of whom score 8 on a 10-point scale of happiness. Most of Asians, including the Japanese, score 6 on this measure, while troubled Pakistan is near the bottom at 4.3.Biswas-Diener agrees that attitude counts, but also notes that highly developed nations, as a group, score consistently high, suggesting that it doesn't hurt a country to pave its highways and disinfect its water supply. Democracy, as measurement for most of the world, is a sure guide to happiness. And there are no superpowers when it comes to happiness The U. S. is pretty active, but in the study of international college students, it ranked the eighth, tied with Slovenia. It would appear that merely living as if you are No. 1 and running around the would shouting you are No. 1, doesn't mean that you feel like No. 1 Inside.Even Biswas-Diener cautions that national-happiness rankings are crude instruments That s especially true when comparing West with East, cultures where the pursuit of happiness is a national obsession (my) with cultures where, as the Chinese philosopher belong to one of the highest-ranking countries, you'll enjoy gazing at the big scoreboard an thinking about thesource of your collective joy. Whereas, if your motherland fares badly, you might want to consider spending more time in Denmark.31. Danes are happier than Japanese because _______.A. they take a more positive attitude to life.B. they do not need to work so hardC. they are a lot wealthierD. they are from Europe32. The word "counts" (Line 1, Para. 2) most probably means _______.A works B. decides C. matters D. explains33. Another factor contributing to happiness is _________.A. highwaysB. democracyC. higher educationD. unpolluted water supply34. The fact that the U. S. ranked eighth in the study of international colleges shows that _______.A. Americans like to claim happinessB. American college student are activeC. America has close relationship with SloveniaD. Americans are not as happy as they appear to be35. What the Chinese philosopher said probably means that ________.A. only the person himself knows whether he is happy or notB. those who fight for happiness can never be happyC. happiness will be available to those who don't seek it deliberatelyD. you can never get the happiness without a long struggle for it Part: III CloseDirections: There is a passage in this part with 10 blanks in it.
