Choose one best answer and blacken the corresponding letter on Answer Sheet.Debate is a valuable way to practise communicating. It can also bring long-lasting rewards, especially for people working with Western businesses. The main activity of debate is presenting one's opinion and supporting it with evidence, such as statistics or facts. It is a way of persuasive communication.Charles Lebeau helped create the "Discover Debate" method. He says debate is important to understanding how people communicate in Western business. Successful debaters learn how togive their opinion, reasons and support. "What we are trying to do is to develop a kind of thinking or approach to discussion and how to interact (交流) with someone else's opinion, rather than brush their opinion aside."Debate skills are also important in selling a product, he says. In that situation, the judges are the customers. "So on Monday, for example, one company may come in and present their case to the customer and they'll make as strong a case as they can. On Tuesday, the next day, another company will come in and present their case to the customer. Usually the party that can present the strongest case wins."Debate also strengthens critical thinking. In other words, it helps students learn to ask questions and try to understand someone's reasons and evidence.Mr. Lebeau points out that successful debaters learn to listen carefully to what other people are saying. Then, they look for the weak points in someone else's opinion or argument. He says debate teaches a systematic way of questioning.Successful debaters also learn to think from someone else's point of view. Mr. Lebeau says debate can help broaden the mind. "There's an expression in English: don't criticize another person before you have walked in their shoes. I think the wonderful thing about debate is, it puts us in another person's shoes."第36题According to Paragraph 1, what is the purpose of debate?A.To bring long-lasting material rewards.B.To present evidence such as statistics and facts.C.To respond to questions in a systematic way.D.To persuade people to accept your opinions.第37题Why is debate important?A.It helps people understand others better.B.It allows people to present their opinions.C.It develops one's thinking and communicative competence.D.It gives one the opportunity to brush others' opinion aside.第38题What does the underlined word "case" in Paragraph 3 refer to?A.Container.B.Evidence.C.Problem.D.Product.第39题What can debaters benefit from "walking in another person's shoes"?A.Becoming more broad-minded.B.Developing critical thinking.C.Finding others' weak points.D.Trying out others' methods.上一题下一题(40~43/共20题)Part ⅢReading ComprehensionDirections:There are some reading passages in this part. Each passage is followed by some questions. For each question there are four suggested answers marked [A]、[B]、[C] and [D]. Choose one best answer and blacken the corresponding letter on Answer Sheet.We all love a hero, and rescue dogs are some of the biggest heroes of all. You will often find them going above and beyond duty to save someone, risking—and at times losing—their lives in the process.Rescue dogs are generally found in the Sporting and Hunting Groups, or from the traditional Herding Group. These types include the Bloodhound, Labrador Retriever, Newfoundland, German Shepherd, Golden Retriever, and Belgian Malinois—all of which are chosen for search-and-rescue duty because of their amazing physical strength, loyalty, and their tendency for mental stability.These types also have a keen sense of hearing and smell—to better locate lost individuals—and are often able to access hard-to-reach areas. As highly trained animals, they serve in many different fields, including specialist Search, snow slide rescue, dead body location, and tracking.To overcome obstacles and succeed when performing the demanding duties of a search-and-rescue worker, a dog must display certain qualities. In addition to intelligence and strength, the dog must be swift, confident, easily trainable, adaptable, and have a high level of stamina (耐力) and endurance. A strong sense of group cooperation and an ability to engage in friendly play during "down" time is also required of search-and-rescue dogs.A rescue dog goes through many, many hours of intensive training to be fit for duty. Training is not for the faint-hearted. Certification training can take from two to three years, working three to four hours a day, three to six days a week, often in group, team-oriented sessions.Each search-and-rescue field requires different types of training. Rescue training, for instance, includes "air scenting"—where dogs are trained to smell the air for the victim's scent (气味) and then follow the scent to the person. This ability is crucial to finding victims trapped under collapsed buildings and snow slide.第40题Rescue dogs are chosen probably because ______.A.they are loyalB.they are braveC.they have amazing appearancesD.they have good eyesight第41题What does "faint-hearted" in Paragraph 5 mean?A.Courageous.B.Cowardly.C.Energetic.D.Slow.第42题Which ability is most important for dogs to rescue people trapped in snow?A.Sharp hearing.B.Swift movement.C.Extraordinary smelling.D.A strong memory.What is the passage mainly about?A.Selection process of rescue dogs.B.Qualities and training of rescue dogs.C.Risks rescue dogs are faced with.D.Types of tasks rescue dogs can perform.上一题下一题(44~47/共20题)Part ⅢReading ComprehensionDirections:There are some reading passages in this part. Each passage is followed by some questions. For each question there are four suggested answers marked [A]、[B]、[C] and [D]. Choose one best answer and blacken the corresponding letter on Answer Sheet.Eating an apple a day doesn't keep the doctor away, but it does reduce the amount of trips you make to the drug store per year. That's according to a new study that investigates whether there's any truth in the old saying.A team of researchers led by Dr Matthew Davis, of the University of Michigan School of Nursing, asked 8,399 participants to answer survey questions about diet and health. A total of 753 were apple eaters, consuming at least 149g of raw apple per day. The remaining 7,646 were classed as non-apple eaters. When both groups answered questions on trips to the doctor and trips to the drug store per year, the apple eaters were found to be 27% less likely to visit the druggist for drugs.Trips to the doctor were not significantly affected by apple consumption, though. "Evidence does not support that an apple a day keeps the doctor away. However, the small number of US adults who eat an apple a day does appear to use fewer prescription medications," the study concludes.Apple eaters were also found to be less likely to smoke and be more likely to have a higher educational attainment than non-apple eaters. While apples do not compete with oranges, they do contain some immune (免疫的) system-increasing vitamin C, which may be why apple-eaters visit the druggist less. With over 8mg of vitamin C per medium-sized fruit, an apple can provide roughly 14% your daily recommended intake.Previous studies have also linked apple consumption to a lower risk of Type 2 diabetes (二型糖尿病), improved lung function and a lower risk of colon (结肠) cancer.第44题How many non-apple eaters answered survey questions in the research?A.149.B.7,646.C.753.D.8,399.第45题What is the conclusion of the study?A.Apple consumption has greatly reduced US adults' trips to the doctor.B.An apple a day does keep the doctor away.C.Apples are far more nutritious than oranges.D.A small number of US adult apple eaters tend to take less medicine.What can we learn from the passage?A.Apples are better than oranges.B.Apples do have some vitamin C to increase the immune system.C.Apples can help cure certain diseases.D.Apples can provide people with sufficient daily intake of energy.第47题What can be described as the writing style of this passage?A.Objective.B.Creative.C.Subjective.D.Persuasive.上一题下一题(48~51/共20题)Part ⅢReading ComprehensionDirections:There are some reading passages in this part. Each passage is followed by some questions. For each question there are four suggested answers marked [A]、[B]、[C] and [D]. Choose one best answer and blacken the corresponding letter on Answer Sheet.Sometimes I scratch my head when I read about the government's efforts to improve schools: new standards and tests to be applied, strict teacher evaluations, and threats of school closures and job losses. They frighten the school employees, not to mention the students. Instead of making people unable to solve problems or try new ideas—which is what fear does to us—research on school reform strongly suggests that policy-makers should encourage school leaders to take a more humane approach. In their study on the reform efforts of twelve Chicago public schools, Bryk and Schneider found that enabling positive social relationships between the adults was the key to successful school improvement and that trust was at the heart of those relationships.Trust in schools comes down to one thing: psychological safety or safety to speak one's mind, to discuss with openness and honesty what is and isn't working, to make collective decisions.Yet this kind of safety doesn't come easily to schools. According to Bryk and Schneider, the adults in school rely on each other to do their jobs correctly and with integrity (正直). The challenge is that our expectations are very diverse based on our unique backgrounds.At one school where I taught, each teacher had different expectations about how much extra effort teachers should put into their work—a big difference between the teachers who left after the last bell and those who worked into the evening. And when expectations are unconscious or unspoken, it becomes impossible for others to live up to them.We also make assumptions about the intentions behind a person's behavior. As we all know, assumptions are often wrong. For example, parents and teachers may think the principal made a particular decision based on his career advancement rather than what's best for the students. If we don't feel psychologically safe to question our assumptions and expectations, trust flies out the window and our relationships suffer.第48题According to Paragraph 1, why does the author scratch his head?A.Because he doesn't know what to do once schools are closed.B.Because he is not sure about the practicability of those new tests.C.Because he is concerned that many teachers will lose their jobs.D.Because he is not in favor of the government's reform efforts.第49题According to Bryk and Schneider, what was most important for successful school improvement?A.New standards and tests in schools.B.Positive social relationships.C.Strict teacher and student evaluations.D.Assistance of the government.第50题What is meant by trust in school?A.Freedom to express one's views.B.Extra effort teachers put into their work.C.Independence of the teachers in schools.D.Unconscious and unspoken expectations.第51题What does the author say about the assumptions made about the intentions behind a person's behavior?A.They should be trusted.B.They are often bold.C.They are often incorrect.D.They should be encouraged.上一题下一题(52~55/共20题)Part ⅢReading ComprehensionDirections:There are some reading passages in this part. Each passage is followed by some questions. For each question there are four suggested answers marked [A]、[B]、[C] and [D]. Choose one best answer and blacken the corresponding letter on Answer Sheet.An interesting project called Blue Zones is recording the lifestyle secrets of the communities with the highest concentrations of centenarians in the world.The people in the five regions in Europe, Latin America, Asia and the US that live to be 100 have a lot going for them. Genes probably play a small role, but these folks also have strong social ties, tightly-knit families and lots of opportunities to exercise.As we were examining the dietary secrets of the Blue Zones, as described in author Dan Buettner's latest book, The Blue Zones Solution, we were struck by how essential tea drinking is in these regions. In fact, Buettner's Blue Zones Beverage Rule—a kind of guideline summarized from his 15 or so years of studying these places—is: "Drink coffee for breakfast, tea in the afternoon, wine at 5 p.m."Science has plenty to say about the healthful virtues of green tea. Researchers are most enthusiastic about the components in green tea, as well as foods like cocoa. Why might they help so many Okinawans in Japan break 100? Some components in green tea can lower the risk of stroke, heart disease and several cancers. One review study also found that drinking green tea can slightly improve metabolism (新陈代谢).If you find yourself on the island of Ikaria, the Greek Blue Zone in the middle of the Aegean,you won't be offered any tea made with tea leaves. Instead, Ikarians typically make their daily cup of tea with just one fresh herb that they have picked themselves that day—either rosemary, wild sage, oregano, marjoram, mint or dandelion, all plants that may have anti-inflammatory (消炎的) properties, which may help lower blood pressure. This could explain Ikaria's very low dementia (痴呆) rate, since high blood pressure is a risk factor for the disease.第52题What does the underlined word "centenarians" in Paragraph 1 refer to?A.People who have secret lifestyles.B.People who enjoy physical exercise.C.People who are one hundred years old or older.D.People who carry, the gene for being slim.第53题According to Paragraph 3, what is the recommended time for tea drinking?A.In the morning.B.Any time of a day.C.In the early evening.D.In the afternoon.第54题What may the tea Ikarians drink daily help?A.To improve metabolism.B.To lower blood pressure.C.To lower life stress.D.To improve social relationships.第55题What might be the best title of the passage?A.Tea-Drinking TipsB.Lifestyle Secrets of IkariansC.Tea-Drinking Ceremony in OkinawaD.Blue Zones Solutions上一题下一题(56~60/共5题)Part ⅤDaily ConversationDirections: Pick out the appropriate expressions from the eight Choices below and complete the following dialogues by blackening the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet.A.Can I speak to Mr. Johnson, pleaseB.I'll tell him you've calledC.I'll give him the messageD.What can I do for youE.Can you tell him that we can meet tomorrow afternoon in my officeF.Can I take a messageG.Can you ask him to call me back as soon as possibleH.That's rightWoman: Hello, Mr. Johnson's office.Man: Good morning. 1 ?Woman: Sorry, he's in a meeting at the moment. 2 ?Man: Yes.

He says debate is important to understanding how people communicate in Western business.Successful debaters learn how to give their opinion,reasons and support."What we are trying to do is to develop a kind of thinking or approach to discussion and how to interact(交流)with someone else's opinion,rather than brush their opinion aside."Debate skills are also important in selling a product,he says.In that situation,the judges are the customers."So on Monday,for example,one company may come in and present their case to the customer and they"ll make as strong a ease asthey can.On Tuesday,the next day,another company will come in and present their ease to the /doc/b813960983.html,ually the party that can present the strongest case wins”Debate also strengthens critical thinking.In other words,it helps students learn to ask questions and try to understand someone's reasons and evidence.lift-.Lebeau points out that successful debaters learn to listen carefully to what other people are saying.Then,they look for the weak points in someone else's opinion or argument.He says debate teaches a systematic way of questioning.Successful debaters also learn to think from someone else' s point of view.Mr.Lebeau says debate can help broaden the mind."There's an expression in English:don't criticize another person before you have walked in their shoes.I think the wonderful thing about debate is,it puts us in another person's shoes."36.According to Paragraph1,what is the purpose of debate?A.To bring long-lasting material rewards.B.To present evidence such as statistics and facts.C.To respond to questions in a systematic way.D.To persuade people to accept your opinions.37.Why is debate important.A.It helps people understand others better.B.It allows people to present their opinions.C.It develops one's thinking and communicative competence.D.It gives one the opportunity to brush others'opinion aside.38.What does the underlined word“case”in Paragraph3refer to?A.Container.B.Evidence.C.Problem.D.Product.39.What can debaters benefit fro m“walking in another person' s shoes”.A.Becoming more broad-minded.B.Developing critical thinking.C.Finding others'weak points.D.Trying out others'methods.Passage TwoWe all love a hero,and rescue dogs are some of the biggest heroes of all.You will often find them going above and beyond duty to save someone,risking--and at times losing--their lives in the process.Rescue dogs are generally found in the Sporting and Hunting Groups,or from the traditional Herding Group.These types include the Bloodhound,Labrador Retriever,Newfoundland,German Shepherd,Golden Retriever,and Belgian Malinois--all of which are chosen for search-and-rescue duty because of their amazing physical strength,loyalty,and their tendency for mental stability.These types also have a keen sense of hearing and smell--to better locate lost individuals—and are often able to access hard-to-reach areas.As highly trained animals,they serve in many different fields,including specialist search,snow slide rescue,dead body location,and tracking.To overcome obstacles and succeed when performing the demanding duties of a search-and-rescue worker,a dog must display certain qualities.In addition to intelligence and strength,the dog must be swift,confident,easily trainable,adaptable,and have a high level of stamina(耐力)and endurance.A strong sense of group cooperation and an ability to engage in friendly play during"down"time is also required of search-and-rescue dogs.A rescue dog goes through many,many hours of intensive training to be fit for duty.Training is not for the faint-hearted.Certification training can take from two to three years,working three to four hours a day,three to sixdays a week,often in group,team-oriented sessions.Each search-and-rescue field requires different types of training.Rescue training,for instance,includes"air scenting"--where dogs are trained to smell the air for the victim's scent(气味)and then follow the scent to the person. This ability is crucial to finding victims trapped under collapsed buildings and snow slide.40.Rescue dogs are chosen probably because__A.they are loyalB.they are braveC.they have amazing appearancesD.they have good eyesight41.What does"faint-hearted"in Paragraph5mean??A.Courageous.B.Cowardly.C.Energetic.D.Slow.42.Which ability is most important for dogs to rescue people trapped in snow?A.Sharp hearing.B.Swift movement.C.Extraordinary smelling.D.A strong memory.43.What is the passage mainly about?A.Selection process of rescue dogs.B.Qualities and training of rescue dogs.C.Risks rescue dogs are faced with.D.Types of tasks rescue dogs can perform.Passage ThreeEating an apple a day doesn't keep the doctor away,but it does reduce the amount of trips you make to the drug store per year.That's according to a new study that investigates whether there's any truth in the old saying.A team of researchers led by Dr Matthew Davis,of the University of Michigan School of Nursing,asked8,399 participants to answer survey questions about diet and health.A total of753were apple eaters,consuming at least149g of raw apple per day.The remaining7,646were classed as non-apple eaters.When both groups answered questions on trips to the doctor and trips to the drug store per year,the apple eaters were found to be27%less likely to visit the druggist for drugs. Trips to the doctor were not significantly affected by apple consumption,though."Evidence does not support that an apple a day keeps the doctor away.However,the small number of US adults who eat an apple a day does appear to use fewer prescription medications,"the study concludes.Apple eaters were also found to be less likely to smoke and be more likely to have a higher educational attainment than non-apple eaters.While apples do not compete with oranges,they do contain some immune(免疫的)system-increasing vitamin C,which may be why apple-eaters visit the druggist less.With over8mg of vitamin C per medium-sized fruit,an apple canprovide roughly14%your daily recommended intake.Previous studies have also linked apple consumption to a lower risk of Type2diabetes(二型糖尿病),improved lung function and a lower risk of colon(结肠)cancer.44.How many non-apple eaters answered survey questions in the research?A.149.B.7,646.C.753.D.8,399.45.What is the conclusion of the study?A.Apple consumption has greatly reduced US adults'trips to the doctor.B.An apple a day does keep the doctor away.C.Apples are far more nutritious than oranges.D.A small number of US adult apple eaters tend to take less medicine.46.What can we learn from the passage?A.Apples are better than oranges.B.Apples do have some vitamin C to increase the immune system.C.Apples can help cure certain diseases.D.Apples can provide people with sufficient daily intake of energy.47.What can be described as the writing style of this passage?A.Objective.B.Creative.C.subjective D.persuasivePassage FourSometimes I scratch my head when I read about the government's efforts to improve schools:new standards andtests to be applied,strict teacher evaluations,and threats of school closures and job losses.They frighten the school employees,not to mention the students.Instead of making people unable to solve problems or try new ideas--which is what fear does to us--research on school reform strongly suggests that policy-makers should encourage school leaders to take a more humane approach.In their study on the reform efforts of twelve Chicago public schools,Bryk and Schneider found that enabling positive social relationships between the adults was the key to successful school improvement and that trust was at the heart of those relationships.Trust in schools comes down to one thing:psychological safety or safety to speak one's mind,to discuss with openness and honesty what is and isn't working,to make collective decisions.Yet this kind of safety doesn't come easily to schools. According to Bryk and Schneider,the adults in school rely on each other to do their jobs correctly and with integrity(正直).The challenge is that our expectations are very diverse based on our unique backgrounds.At one school where I taught,each teacher had different expectations about how much effort teachers should put into their work--a big difference between the teachers who left after the last bell and those who worked into the evening.And when expectations are unconscious or unspoken,it becomes impossible for others to live up to them.We also make assumptions about the intentions behind a person's behavior.As we all Imam,assumptions are often wrong. For example,parents and teachers my think the principal made a particular decision based on his career advancement ratherthan hat"s best for the students.don't feel psychologically safe to question our assumptions and expectations,trust flies out the window and our relationships suffer.48.According to Paragraph1,why does the author scratch his head?A.Because he doesn't know what to do once schools are closed.B.Because he is not sure about the practicability of those new tests.C.Because he is concerned that many teachers will lose their jobs.D.Because he is not in favor of the government's reform efforts.49.According to Bryk and Schneider,what was most important for successful school improvement?A.New standards and tests in schools.B.Positive social relationships.C.Strict teacher and student evaluations.D.Assistance of the government.50.What is meant by trust in school?A.Freedom to express one's views,B.Extra effort teachers put into their work.C.Independence of the teachers in schools.D.Unconscious and unspoken expectations.51.What does the author say about the assumptions made about the intentions behind a person's behavior?A.They should be trusted.B.They are often bold.C.They are often incorrect.D.They should be encouraged.Passage FiveAn interesting project called Blue Zones is recording the lifestyle secrets of the communities with the highest concentrations of centenarians in the world.The people in the five regions in Europe,Latin America,Asia and the US that live to be100have a lot going for them. Genes probably play a small role,but these folks also have strong social ties,tightly-knit families and lots of opportunities to exercise.As we were examining the dietary secrets of the Blue Zones,as described in author Dan Buettner’s latest book,The Blue Zones Solution,we were struck by how essential tea drinking is in these regions.In fact,Buettner's Blue Zones Beverage Rule--a kind of guideline summarized from his15or so years of studying these places--is:"Drink coffee for breakfast,tea in the afternoon,wine at5p.m"Science has plenty to say about the healthful virtues of green tea.Researchers are most enthusiastic about the components in green tea,as well as foods like cocoa.Why might they help so many Okinawans in Japan break1007Some components in green tea can lower the risk of stroke,heart disease and several cancers.One review study also found that drinking green tea can slightly improve metabolism(新陈代谢).If you find yourself on the island of Ikaria,the Greek Blue Zone in the middle of the Aegean,you won't be offered any tea made with tea leaves.Instead,Ikarians typically make their daily cup of tea with just one fresh herb that they have picked themselves that day--either rosemary,wild sage,oregano,maijoram,mint or dandelion,all plants that may have anti-inflammatory(消炎的)properties,which may help lower bloodpressure.This could explain Ikaria's very low dementia (痴呆)rate,since high blood pressure is a risk factor for the disease.52.What does the underlined word"centenarians"in Paragraph 1refer to?A.People who have secret lifestyles.B.People who enjoy physical exercise.C.People who are one hundred years old or older.D.People who carry the gene for being slim.53.According to Paragraph3,what is the recommended time for tea drinking?A.In the morning.B.Any time of a day.C.In the early evening.D.In the afternoon.54.What may the tea Ikarians drink daily help?A.To improve metabolism.B.To lower blood pressure.C.To lower life stress.D.To improve social relationships.55.What might be the best title of the passage?A.Tea-Drinking TipsB.Lifestyle Secrets of IkariansC.Tea-Drinking Ceremony in OkinawaD.Blue Zones SolutionsⅤ.Daily Conversation(15points)Directions:Pick out appropriate expressions from the eight choices below and complete the following dialogue by blackening the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet.A.Can I speak to Mr.Johnson,pleaseB.I’ll tell him you’ve calledC.I’ll give him the messageD.What can I do for youE.Can you tell him that we can meet tomorrow afternoon in my officeF.Can I take a messageG.Can you ask him to call me back as soon as possibleH.That’s rightWoman:Hello,Mr.Johnson's office.Man:Good morning.56?Woman:Sorry,he's in a meeting at the moment.57?Man:Yes.This is Steve Lee from Bright light Systems.58?Woman:Tomorrow afternoon in your office.Man:59Woman:Okay.60Man:Thank you.第Ⅱ卷(非选择题,共25分)Ⅵ.Writing(25points)Directions:For this part,you are supposed to write an essay in English in100-120words based on the following information.

I’m away from home, so I have many things to adjust to, such as being on my own and meeting many different types of people. There are a lot of things that I like about college that I would like to describe for you.First of all, living at college gives me a sense of responsibility and of being on my own. My pa rents aren’t around to say, “No, you’re not going out tonight,” or “Did you finish your homework?” Everything I do has to be my decision, and that makes me responsible for my own life. During the second week I was at college, I had to go out and look for a bank where I could open an account. And when I got to the bank, I had to decide whether to have a checking or savings account and whether or not to get a credit card. Decisions! Decisions!Friendly people is another thing I like about college. On the first day I came to Marymount University here in Virginia from New York, I was a bit confused about where I was going. My mother and I drove in. We did not know the building we were supposed to do to, but the guard was very nice. With a smile, he told us what building we were looking for and where we could park our car. My room was on the first floor of New Gerard, and I knew I had to go through some glass doors, but my mother and I didn’t know which ones. Some students saw me and asked, “Are you a new student?” when they found out I was looking for New Gerard, one said, “Oh, just follow us; that’s where we’re going.” Even now I feel comfortable in the dorm(宿舍) because there are friendly people around to talk with.I do like a lot of things about college. But th at doesn’t mean I don’t think about things at home. Although I like college, I can still get homesick. New York is a very good place, too! And sometimes I miss it!76. The text is perhaps written by_______.A. A new student.B. A new teacher.C. A foreign reporter.D. A foreign visitor.77. What does “give me a sense of responsibility” in the first sentence of Paragraph 2 mean? It means it makes me feel______.A. Responsible for my parentsB. Responsible for my teacherC. Responsible for the schoolD. Responsible for myself78. One thing that he liked was____.A. The comfortable dormB. Finding his way aroundC. His studies as a first year studentD. The friendly people79. What is New Gerard?A. It’s a student’s name.B. It’s a teacher’s name.C. It’s a dorm’s name.D. It’s a school’s name.80. Which of the following is NOT true?A. People in Marymount University are friendly.B. The writer likes the new experience in the university.C. The writer drove to Marymount University with his mother.D. The writer is not homesick.Part Ⅳ Translation (2 x 10)Directions: There are 10 sentences in this section.

Each passage is followed by some questions or incomplete statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. You should decide on the best choice and then mark the corresponding letter on the ANSWER SHEET.Passage OneIn many American universities, the total work for a degree consists of thirty-six courses each lasting for one semester. A typical course consists of three classes per week for fifteen weeks. While attending a university, a student will probably attend four or five courses during each semester. Normally a student would expect to take four years attending two semesters each year. It is possible for a student to move between one university and another during his degree course, though this is not in fact done as regular practice. For every course that follows, a student is given a grade, which is recorded, and the record is available for the student to show to future employers. All this imposes a constant pressure and strain of work, but in spite of this, some students still find time for great activity in student affairs. Elections to positions in student organizations arouse much enthusiasm. A student who has held one of these positions is much respected and it will be of benefit to him later in his career. The effective work of maintaining discipline is usually performed by students who advise the academic authorities. Any student who is thought to have broken the rules, for example, by cheating, has to appear before a student court.31、 Normally a student would at least attend ______ classes each week.A. 36B. 12C. 20D. 532、 According to the first paragraph, an American student is allowed to ______.A. live in a different universityB. take a particular course in a different universityC. live at home and drive to classesD. get two degrees from two different universities33、 American university students are usually under pressure of work because ______.A. their academic record will affect their future careersB. they are heavily involved in student affairsC. they have to observe university disciplineD. they want to run for positions of authority34、 Some students are enthusiastic for positions in student organizations probably because ______.A. they hate the constant pressure and strain of their studyB. they will then be able to stay longer in the universityC. such positions help them get better jobsD. such positions are usually well paid35、 If a student was thought to have broken rules, he has to ______.A. be sent to his parentB. be criticized by the supervisorC. be called to a student courtD. be looked down upon by his classmatesPassage TwoMost airlines allow passengers to book an airline flight online. Travel sites such as Yahoo and Google, all offer search engines and online booking for an airline flight. The first thing a traveler should do when booking online is to shop around. There are numerous web sites offering this service, and some may have cheaper fares than others.A traveler also needs to check fares for the desired flight times. Fares can change, depending on when the airline flight departs, how many stops are involved, and at what airport. The traveler needs to make sure he is comparing fares so as to get the best deal.When booking online, the traveler also needs to check the travel site's policies and fees. Most travel sites charge a small booking fee and have other restrictions about canceling flights, and other types of refunds. Many travelers think about looking on a travel search engine first for the best airline flight fares. However, the individual airline web site may offer the best deal, since they often have "Internet only" deals booked through their own sites.A traveler should always have a credit card available when he or she purchases the ticket, and should make the reservation in the name appearing on the card. The traveler will then be issued an e-ticket for the airline flight, rather than the traditional paper ticket. When he receives flight confirmation, usually through e-mail, he should print out the reservation e-mail and save it with his travel documents.36、 When booking an airline flight online, the traveler should first ______.A. visit Google and book a flight immediatelyB. visit Yahoo and book a flight instantlyC. make a choice between Yahoo and GoogleD. search and compare options before booking37、 Why should a traveler shop around before booking online? ______A. Because the fares and services may vary accordingly.B. Because different travelers may tend to prefer different websites.C. Because some websites have easier access than others.D. Because some websites offer better services than others.38、 According to the passage, the flight fares may change because of ______.A. the number of tickets soldB. the speed taken by the planeC. the number of stops involvedD. the food and drinks provided39、 By checking the travel site's policies and fees, the traveler can find out whether ______.A. it is possible to book a flight in advanceB. there are additional discountsC. he is likely to get a best seatD. there are restrictions on refunds40、 What proof should the traveler hold in order to show he or she has booked an airline flight online? ______A. A traditional paper ticket.B. A printed confirmation e-mail.C. A travel document.D. A credit card.Passage ThreeThe market is a concept. If you are growing tomatoes in your backyard for sale, you are producing for the market. You might sell some to your neighbor and some to the manager of the local supermarket. But in either case, you are producing for the market. Your efforts are being directed by the market. If people stop buying tomatoes, you will stop producing them.If you take care of a sick person to earn money, you are producing for the market. If your father is a steelworker or a truck driver or a doctor or a grocer, he is producing goods or service for the market.When you spend your income, you are buying things from the market. You may spend money in stores, supermarkets, gas stations and restaurants. Still you are buying from the market. When the local grocer hires you to drive the delivery truck, he is buying your labor in the labor market.The market may seem to be something abstract. But for each person or businessman who is making and selling things, it is very concrete. If nobody buys your tomatoes, it won't be long before you get the message. The market is telling you something. It's telling you that you are using energies and resources in doing something the market doesn't want you to do.41、 Which of the following would be the best title for the article? ______A. Everything You Do Is Producing for the MarketB. What Is the MarketC. Selling and BuyingD. What the Market Can Do for You42、 All of the following acts are producing for the market EXCEPT ______.A. attending a night schoolB. working in a bankC. growing tomatoes for salesD. working in a supermarket43、 You are buying from the market when you ______.A. look after your childrenB. drive to the seaside for a holidayC. borrow a book from a libraryD. dine at a restaurant44、 The word "concrete" in the last paragraph may probably mean ______.A. sensibleB. importantC. realD. experience45、 In what way is the market very concrete for each person or businessman who is making and selling something? ______A. It provides you with everything you need.B. It tells you how to grow beans.C. It helps you save money.D. It tells you what to produce.Passage FourThoreau said education often made straight-cut ditches out of twisting small streams. But not at the EcoDorm, which houses 36 undergraduates and is the spiritual heart of Warren Wilson College, a liberal-arts school of fewer than 1,000 students in Swannanoa, N. C.In recent years, colleges like Warren Wilson took a leading role in thesustainability movement, which seeks to develop a durable human relationship with the environment. More than 600 U. S. colleges and universities have signed up for a pledge to become carbon neutral. Ninety dorms are now LEED certified, the most widely accepted national standard for green design. The EcoDorm is one of only two student residences that have LEED's highest rating.Two Warren Wilson students first proposed the dorm a decade ago. Undergraduates on the planning committee initially suggested that it be built with corncobs or straw. The design, by Asheville-based Samsel Architects, required compromises—as well as a number of creative solutions. The wood used for building the walls was harvested from campus trees that were suffering from a certain disease. The kitchen cabinets were made from recycled fence posts. Rainwater is collected into a disused railway tanker car and pumped back into the house to clean the low-flow toilets. Two toilets, which convert decaying organic matter to fertilizer, are also available on the second floor; students shovel in wood chips after they use them. The EeoDorm consumes nearly two-thirds less electricity than would a conventional building of the same size.Margo Flood, the executive director of Warren Wilson's Environmental Leadership Center, says those who apply to live there "see an integration between their actions and their values". They pledge not to use hair dryers. Their music does not have its sound made louder electronically. The residents plant and harvest scores of fruits and vegetables in their garden.The EcoDorm's residents speak of the comfort of finding a home where their values are shared. "I didn't have to worry about paper towels being wasted or feeling bad about drying my clothes outside," Jeremy Lekich, a senior who oversees the dorm's garden, says. "Basically, it has made my life easier."46、 What is the aim of the sustainability movement? ______A. To persuade university to become carbon neutral.B. To boost harmonious human-environment relationship.C. To play a leading role in protecting environment.D. To develop durable dorms for undergraduates.47、 What do we learn about Warren Wilson College? ______A. It has one of the most sustainable dormitories.B. It has ninety LEED certified student residences.C. It established the first green student residences.D. It can provide dormitories for only a few students.48、 What do the EcoDorm's residents have in common? ______A. Their ways of fulfilling their ideals.B. Their values on the environment.C. Their beliefs in the importance of actions.D. Their desire for comfort.49、 The design by Asheville-based Samsel Architects required compromises in ______.A. the appearance design of the buildingB. the means of collecting rainwaterC. the electricity provided for the dormD. the building materials of the dorm50、 What is allowed to do in the EcoDorm? ______A. To use electricity in the day time.B. To dry clothes outdoors.C. To play music loudly with electronic equipment.D. To use hair dryers.Part Ⅲ ClozeDirections:There are 20 blanks in the following passage. For each blank thereare four choices marked A, B, C and D.

I'm away from home, so I have manythings to adjust to, such as being on my own and meeting many different types of people.There are a lot of things that I like about college that I would like to describe for you.First of all, living at college gives me a sense of responsibility and of being on my own.My parents aren't around to say, "No, you're not going out tonight," or "Did you finish your homework?" Everything I do has to be my decision, and that makes me responsible for my own life. During the second week I was at college, I had to go out and look for a bank where I could open an account. And when I got to the bank, I had to decide whether to have a checking or savings account and whether or not to get a credit card. Decisions! Decisions!Friendly people is another thing I like about college. On the first day I came to Marymount University here in Virginia from New York, I was a bit confused about where I was going. My mother and I drove in. We did not know the building we were supposed to go to, but the guard was very nice. With a smile, he told us what building we were looking for and where we could park our car. My room was on the first floor of New Gerard, and I knew I had to go through some glass doors, but my mother and I didn't know which ones. Some students saw me and asked, "Are you a new student?" When they found out I was looking for New Gerard, one said, "Oh, just follow us; that's where we're going." Even now I feel comfortable in the dorm because there are friendly people around to talk with.I do like a lot of things about college, but that doesn't mean I don't think about things athome. Although I like college, I can still get homesick. New York is a very good place, too! And sometimes I miss it!76.
