Some proceed very slowly throughout; others dash along too quickly and then have to regress. Poor readers in particular may lack the ability to vary their manner of reading according to the type of reading matter and to their intentions in reading it. A good reader can move at great speed through the text of a novel or similar light reading matter. He may be able to skim a page, picking up a word or two here and there, and gain a general idea of what the text is about without really reading it. In reading more difficult material, with the intention of taking in the whole of it, he will proceed more slowly, but even then he will vary his pace, concentrating on the key words and passages, perhaps re-reading them several times and pass more quickly over the remainder. A less efficient reader tends to maintain the same speed whatever the material he reads. Consequently, even light reading matter gives him little pleasure because he reads so slowly. But this pace may be too fast for really difficult material which requires special concentration at difficult points.A type of reading which necessitates careful attention to detail is proofreading, in which the reader, in order to detect misprints in a sample print, has to notice not so much the meaning of what he reads as the exact shape and order of letters and words in the text. This is extremely difficult for most people, since they are accustomed to overlooking such details. In fact, considerable practice is required to practice this task efficiently and it can be done only by reading very slowly, and by paying comparatively little attention to the general meaning of the text.第1题The author claims that there is a difference in reading speed______.A.among readers who have different experienceB.among all the readersC.between the poorly educated and the highly educatedD.among the highly educated people第2题A good reader is a reader who______.A.concentrates on the wonderful part of the articleB.always reads slowly and carefullyC.changes his speed according to the kind of textD.changes his speed according to the interesting of the text第3题The author says that when reading a novel, a good reader can quickly read______.A.every part of the bookB.the most wonderful part in the bookC.the major part in the bookD.the scientific part of the book第4题The last two sentences of the first paragraph mean that______.A.a reading speed too slow for a difficult book is just right for a non-serious oneB.a reading speed too slow for a non-serious book may be too fast for a difficult oneC.A reading speed too fast for difficult material is just right for a non-serious book is also too slow for a difficult oneD.A reading speed too slow for a non-serious book is also too slow for a difficult one第5题Which of the following can be the tide of the passage?A.Reading and listening.B.Difference between highly educated and poorly educated.C.Practice reading skill.D.Difference in the speed and efficiency of reading.下一题(6~10/共20题)Reading ComprehensionDirections: There are three passages in this part.

You should decide on the best choice and mark the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet with a single line through the center.Television has opened windows in everybody´s life. Young men will never again go to war as they did in 1914. Millions of people now have seen the effects of a battle. And the result has been a general dislike of war, and perhaps more interest in helping those who suffer from allthe terrible things that have been shown on the screen.Television has also changed politics. The most distant areas can now follow state affairs, see and hear the politicians before an election. Better informed, people are more likely to vote, and so to make their opinion count.Unfortunately, television´s influence has been extremely harmful to the young. Children do not have enough experience to realize that TV shows present an unreal world; that TV advertisements lie to sell products that are sometimes bad or useless. They believe that the violence they see is normal and acceptable. All educators agree that the "television generations" are more violent than their parents and grandparents.Also, the young are less patient. Used to TV shows, where everything is quick and interesting, they do not have the patience to read an article without pictures; to read a book that requires thinking; to listen to a teacher who doesn´t do funny things like the people on children´s programs.And they expect all problems to be solved happily in ten, fifteen, or thirty minutes. That´s the time it takes on the screen.第6题In the past, many young people______.A.knew the effects of warB.went in for politicsC.liked to save the wounded in warsD.were willing to be soldiers第7题Now with TV people can______.A.discuss politics at an information centerB.show more interest in politicsC.make their own decisions on political affairsD.express their opinions freely第8题The author thinks that TV advertisements______.A.are not reliable on the wholeB.are useless to peopleC.are a good guide to adultsD.are very harmful to the young第9题Which is NOT true according to the passage?A.People have become used to crimes now.B.On a TV screen some problems can be solved quickly.C.People now like to read books with pictures.D.The adults are less violent than the young.第10题From the passage, we can conclude that______.A.children should keep away from TV programs should be improvedC.children´s books should have pictures has a deep influence on the young上一题下一题(11~15/共20题)Reading ComprehensionDirections: There are three 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.Looking back on my childhood, I am convinced that naturalists are born and not made. Although we were brought up in the same way, my brothers and sisters soon abandoned their pressed flowers and insects. Unlike them, I had no ear for music and languages, I was not an early reader and I could not do mental arithmetic.Before World War I we spent our summer holidays in Hungary. I have only the dim memory of the house we lived in, of my room and my toys. Nor do I recall clearly the large family of grandparents, aunts, uncles and cousins who gathered next door. But I do have a crystal-clear memory of dogs, the farm animals, the local birds and above all, the insects.I am a naturalist, not a scientist. I have a strong love of the natural world, and my enthusiasm has led me into varied investigations. I love discussing my favorite topics and enjoy burning the midnight oil, reading about other people´s observations and discoveries. Then something happens that brings these observations together in my conscious mind. Suddenly you fancy you see the answer to the riddle, because it all seems to fit together. This has resulted in my publishing 300 papers and books, which some might honor with the title of scientific research.But curiosity, a keen eye, a good memory and enjoyment of the animal and plant world do notmake a scientist; one of the outstanding and essential qualities required is self-discipline, a quality I lack. A scientist can be made. A naturalist is born. If you can combine the two, you get the best of born worlds.第11题According to the author, a born naturalist should first of all be______.A.full of enthusiasmB.self-disciplinedC.full of ambitionD.knowledgeable第12题The first paragraph tells us that the author______.A.lost his hearing when he was a childB.didn´t like his brothers and sistersC.was born to a naturalist´s familyD.was interested in flowers and inserts in his childhood第13题The author says that he is a naturalist rather than a scientist probably because he thinks he______.A.just reads about other people´s observations and discoverieses up with solutions in most natural waysC.has a great deal of trouble doing mental arithmeticcks some of the qualities required of scientist第14题The author can´t remember his relatives clearly because______.A.he was fully occupied with observing natureB.he didn´t live very long with themC.the family was extremely largeD.he was too young when he lived with them第15题Which of the following statement is true?A.The author believes that a born naturalist cannot be a scientist.B.The author´s brothers and sisters were good at music and languages.C.The author read a lot of books about the natural world and the oil industry.D.The author spent a lot of time working on riddles.上一题下一题(16~20/共20题)Reading ComprehensionDirections: There are three 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.As the Titanic was sinking and women and children climbed into lifeboats, the musicians from the ship´s band stood and played. They died when the ship went down. Men stood on the deck and smoked cigarettes. They died, too. This behavior is puzzling to economists, who like to believe that people tend to act in their own self-interest. "There was no pushing," says DavidSavage, an economist at Queensland University in Australia who has studied witness reports from the survivors. It was "very, very orderly behavior.´´Savage has compared the behavior of the passengers on the Titanic with those on the Lusitania, another ship that also sank at about the same time. But when the Lusitania went down, the passengers panicked. There were a lot of similarities between these two events. These two ships were both luxury ones, they had a similar number of passengers and a similar number of survivors.The biggest difference, Savage concludes, was time. The Lusitania sank in less than 20 minutes. But for the Titanic, it was two-and-a-half hours. "If you´ve got an event that lasts two-and-a-half hours, social order will take over and everybody will behave in a social manner,"Savage says. "If you´re going down in under 17 minutes, basically it´s instinctual." On the Titanic, social order ruled, and it was women and children first. On the Lusitania, instinct won out. The survivors were largely the people who could swim and get into the lifeboats.Yes, we´re self-interested, Savage says. But we´re also part of a society. Given time, social norms can beat our natural self-interest. A hundred years ago, women and children always went first. Men were stoic. On the Titanic, there was enough time for these norms to become forceful. 第16题According to the author, economists were confused because______.A.people´s behavior was disorderly on the TitanicB.people did not act in their own interest on the TitanicC.most men did not act in their own interest on the LusitaniaD.women and children could not climb into the lifeboats第17题The expression "won out" in the third paragraph is closest in meaning to "______".A.took the upper handB.went out of controlC.ran wildD.shut down第18题According to David Savage, ______was a critical factor in determining people´s behavior in the sinking of these two ships.A.social orderB.placeC.instinctD.time第19题According to the passage, which of the following is NOT TRUE?A.Both ships were expensive ones.B.A similar number of women and children from both ships survived.C.About the same number of people from each ship died.D.Both ships had a similar number of passengers.第20题Which of the following is an appropriate title for this passage?A.Why Didn´t Musicians Play on the Lusitania?B.Why Did Musicians Play on the Titanic?C.Why Didn´t Passengers Panic on the Titanic?D.Why Did Men Smoke on the Titanic?上一题下一题(1/29)Vocabulary and StructureDirections: In this part there are 30 incomplete sentences.

Each passage is followed by some questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A), B), C) andD). You should decide on the best choice and mark the corresponding letter on theAnswer Sheet with a single line through the center.Passage 1Questions 61 to 65 are based on the following passage:There are some steps you can take yourself to avoid catching a cold.Contrary to popular belief, colds are not caused by exposure to severe weather. Colds are caused by viruses hidden in the body, and you’re better off out on the ski slopes or even waiting for the bus on a snowy day than you are in a warm room, surrounded by friends, co-workers, or fellow students, who just may be passing the virus around. If you feel a chill when you’re coming down with a cold, you’re already sick. A chill is an early symptom: it’s the c old that caused the chill, not the other way around.While the virus can spread by air when a cold-sufferer coughs or sneezes (打喷嚏), surprisingly, this is not the most common route of transmission. Numerous studies have now shown that most colds are “caught” by hand contact.A cold-sufferer rubs her nose, thereby transferring the virus to her hand. Then a friend comes to visit. “Don’t kiss me,” she warns, so the friend steps back and presses her hand. The friend then wipes her own nose or eye – and several days later caught a cold. Parents pick up their child’s discarded tissues and carefully throw them away, but fail to wash their hands afterward.Cold viruses also can be transferred to objects –telephones, towels, plates –and remain infectious for up to three hours. Frequent hand washing on the part of the cold-sufferer as well as other members of the household – will minimize the spread of viruses in this way.61. Which of the following will most probably cause you to catch a cold?A)Staying in a warm room with a lot of people.B)Staying outdoors on a cold day.C)Staying on the ski slopes.D)Waiting for the bus on a snowy day.62. Which of the following is TRUE?A)Colds are caused by exposure to severe weather.B)Viruses can only spread through air.C)Viruses hidden in the body cause colds.D)Most colds can be caught by hand contact.63. To prevent viruses from spreading, we should ________.A)shake hands with our friends instead of kissing themB)stay at home as much as possibleC)often wash our handsD)often clean our noses and eyes64. The word discarded in Paragraph 2 most probably means ________.A)thrown awayB)put awayC)cleared awayD)given away65. The best title for this passage might be ________.A) Colds and VirusesB) Ways to Avoid Catching ColdsC) The Spread of Cold VirusesD) Symptoms of ColdsPassage 2Questions 66 to 70 are based on the following passage:America is a society in which children have watched approximately 18,000 television commercials (广告) by the time they have reached their middle teens. My friend Jolie learned this fact a few weeks ago and decided to do something about it.She thinks that the number of commercials that children see can influence the way they view the world. That is, Jolie believes that children who watch so many advertisements will grow up to believe that the most important thing in life is to buy, buy, buy!This, says Jolie, is wrong. A little child cannot understand advertisements for what they are and so believes totally in what he or she hears.I have been thinking about what Jolie has told me. I suppose that she is right. I know that it is easy to manipulate the minds of children because they don’t see things logically, as adults do. And I am upset myself at how the advertisers can control a child’s outlook on the world. I think I should join Jolie in her efforts to change advertising tactic (策略) when it comes to advertisements for children. I really have a responsibility to make sure that future generations are given every chance to develop their minds without the interference of mass media.Of course, there is another side to the issue. After all, parents ought to take responsibility for what their children watch and how much television they see. I know that many parents just want their children to be quiet, and so they let them watch as much television as they want. But, in the long run, the methods of advertisers have enormous power because we are a society of consumers.I only hope that some day there can be a solution to this problem. Children need our guidance, not the guidance of advertisers.66. What does “it” in Line 3 refer to?A) The number of commercials children watch.B) The way children view the world.C) The fact that children are exposed to so many TV commercials.D) The negative influence of television programs on children67. Jolie believes that ________.A)television advertising is only for childrenB)television advertising has a bad influence on childrenC)there are enough advertisements on TVD)television advertising should be banned68. Being exposed to so many commercials children may ________.A)have bought lots of toysB)see things as adults doC)be misled by these advertisementsD)learn the methods of advertisers69. The word “manipulate” in the second paragraph most probably means ________.A)advertiseB)purchaseC)controlD)buy70. What is the author’s attitude towards the large number of TV commercials that childrenwatch?A) Concerned.C) Positive.B) Hopeful. D) Disappointed.Passage ThreeQuestions 71 to 75 are based on the following passage:Vegetarians may be healthier, but meat eaters do more for the environment. A survey of the energy used to produce and distribute various foods shows that such foods as sweets, ice cream, potato chips and white bread are among the most energy-efficient -- and so least polluting -- foods in our diet. Tea, coffee, tomatoes, salad vegetables and white fish, on the other hand,are environmentally unfriendly.David Coley and colleagues of the Center for Energy and the Environment at the University of Exeter have analyzed how much energy from fuel is used in the complete production cycle of food in a typical shopping basket. The analysis includes the manufacture and application of fertilizers and other chemicals, harvesting, processing, packaging, transport and waste disposal.In a study of the diets of more than 2,000 people, they found that it takes around 18,000 megajoules (兆焦耳) of energy each year to get a typical Briton’s food to the table. This is almost six times the energy contained in the food itself. In all, the process consumes almost a tenth of the national energy budget, adding 15 million tons of carbon to the atmosphere in the form of carbon dioxide.The study will trouble those trying to be both healthy and green. The most energy-consuming item is coffee, which requires 177MJ of energy to produce 1MJ of food intake. But typical salad vegetables require 45 MJ and white fish 36, compared to 8 MJ for beef and burgers, 7 for chicken and 6 for lamb, while fresh fruit consumes between 10 and 22 MJ, crisps, white bread and ice cream are all right at the bottom of the table, consuming less than 1 MJ each.“Meat does well because it is not highly processed, provides a lot of calories and is often grown locally,” says Coley. In a sense, food is a large part of an individual’s impact on the greenhouse effect. Many of us could change our diets to have less impact.71. The most energy-efficient and least polluting food in our diet is ________.A) meatB) fruitC) white breadD) salad vegetables72. Dr. Coley’s analysis of energy used in the production cycle of food includes all of thefollowing EXCEPT ________.A) application of chemicalsB) the influence of climateC) packaging of foodD) waste disposal73. In a study of the diet of more than 2,000 people, Dr. Coley found that ________.A) the energy contained in the food itself is six times the energy consumedB) energy budget adds 15 million tons of carbon to the atmosphereC) the food a typical Briton consumes each year requires 18,000 MJ to produceD) the energy contained in the food itself is a tenth of the national energy budget74. Those who try to be both healthy and green are troubled when they know that ________.A) some healthy foods, like tomatoes, are not greenB) local meat is better for health than green foodC) people’s diets vary greatlyD) some healthy foods are environmentally unfriendly75. The author suggests that ________.A) we change our diets to have less influence on greenhouse effectB) we grow vegetables to reduce the greenhouse effectC) we eat more meat to help the development of modern food industryD) we eat more vegetables in order to become healthierPart ⅤTranslation from English into Chinese (15 points)Directions: In this part there is a passage with 5 underlined parts, numbered 76 to 80. After reading the passage carefully, you should translate the underlined parts into Chinese.Remember to write your translation on the Translation Sheet.Asian companies (except those in Japan and South Korea) have long been plagued (使苦恼) by high turnover. 76) Many employees feel that the fastest track to higher salaries and more responsibility is to change jobs as often as possible. 许多员工都认为获得更高薪水和更多责任的最快途径就是勤换工作。

Reading Comprehension (40)Passage OneFor years it has been possible to set up cameras to take pictures of cars as they speed along highways, jump lights or drive too fast down the street.However, even if the pictures are taken automatically (自动地), someone still has to do all the paperwork of sending out fines. But now a British company called EEV has come up with a computerized video system that can do it all automatically.They suggest that all number plates (车牌) have a bar code as well as the usual number. The bar codes are just stripes of lines like those you see on food packets but bigger. EEV‟s high speed video camera system can read a bar-coded number plate even if the car is doing over 100 miles per hour. The computer controlling the system could then use the information from the bar code to find out the name and address of the driver (from the car records), print out the fine and send it off automatically. The inventors also suggest that the system should watch traffic to help catch stolen cars.The new electronic system could be watching everyone that passes the cameras! Many people find the idea that “big brother is watching you”is more of a worry than a few motorists getting away with driving too fast. Besides, some people will be very unhappy to realize that with the new system the police should find out where a particular car has been.1. The best title for the article can be _____.A. people who drive too FastB. stop people from driving too fastC. EEV and the police systemD. a new computerized system for motoring breaking laws2.

An additional purpose of the new system is that it could _____.A. help catch stolen carsB. add code numbersC. watch everyone who drives too fastD. print out bar codes automatically5. “Big brother is watching you is more of a worry than” means that many people _____.A. are more worried about fast-driving motorists than being watched onB. find “big brothers” more worryingthan motorists C. are more worried about being watched on than about fast-driving motorists D. find motorists more worried than “big brothers”Passage TwoPeter Fern was mad on mountain. Climbing was the love of his life. Church towers, seaside cliffs, rock faces of ice mountains, anything ----- “If it‟s there,”he used to say, “then I want to climb it.” So the news of his marriage gave me a surprise. I‟d never known him to take much interest in girls. Well, well, Peter Fern a married man! I couldn‟t get over it.I wondered whether his wife would try to stop some of his risky adventures.She was French perhaps from that place where he usually spent his holidays. Chamonix, wasn‟t it?From Chamonix he‟s climbed Mont Blanc on his seventeenth birthday, and one of the Aifuilles the day after! That was it, then: She was French, from a family, most of whom like climbing. No doubt. No other explanation.A month later I met them both in town. Anna surprised me be cause she was English. She was a dancer in the theatre. “Neve r climbed more than sixty steps in my life.” She told me. “Peter has 11im interests, and I‟ve got mine. No problems.” “No problems.”“None at all,”Peter said, smiling. “Where did you spend your honeymoon?”“I flew to New York to see the drake Dancers on Broadway. A wond erful show!” Peter said, “Didn‟t want to miss the good weather. So I went to Switzerland and climbed the north face of the Eiger with Allen Dunlop. Great fun, the Eiger.

But Hagner also has to take the two boys to soccer or hockey or basketball while dropping off her daughter at piano lessons or Girl Scout Club.Often the exhausted family doesn‟t get home until 7 p.m. There is just time for a quick supper before homework.In today‟s world,middle-class American and British parents treat their children as if they are competitors racing for some finishing line.Parents take their children from activity to activity in order to make their future bright. It seems that raising a genius has become a more important goal than raising a happy and well-balanced child.“Doctors across the country are reporting a growing num ber of children suffering from stomach-aches and headaches due to exhaustion and stress,” says child expert William Daherty of the U niversity of Minnesota.Teachers are dealing with exhausted kids in the classroom. It‟s a very serious problem. Many children attend after-school clubs by necessity. But competitive pressures also create an explosion of activities. They include sports, language, music and math classes for children as young as four.“There is a new parenting trend (趋势) under way which says that you have to tap all your child‟s potential (潜能) at a young age; otherwise you will let him down,” says Terry Apter, a Cambridge based child and adolescent psychiatrist (精神病学家).“It isn‟t entirely new: There have always been pushy parents. But what was previously seen as strange behavior is nowwell accepted.”11. From the second paragraph of this passage we can find that _____.A. Hag ner spends much time helping her children‟s lessonsB. Hagner doesn't spend much time on her full-time jobC. Hagner is interested in sports and musicD. Hagner busies herself by following a trend12. British parents, as the writer described in this passage, _____.A. treat their children as sports playersB. pay no attention to their children's lessonsC. bring up their children in a simple wayD. give their children little time to develop freely13. The writer’s opinion about after-school clubs is that _____.A. activities in the country are too competitiveB. children should attend four clubs at a timeC. some clubs result in competitive pressuresD. clubs should have more subjects for school children14. The word “tap” means _____.A. knock offB. draw outC. put inD. give off15. The last paragraph tells us that in British _____.A. parents used to take their children to every clubB. parents used to be wise on how to raise childrenC. paren ts have all benefited from children’s clubsD. parents have come to know the standard of education Passage FourMan is a land animal, but he is also closely tied to the sea. Throughout history the sea has served the needs of man. The sea has provided man with food and a convenient way to travel to many parts of the world.

On a trip to a zoo, perhaps ? If you had attended a winter activity in New Y ork a few years ago, you would have seen a whole polar bear club. These “Polar Bear s”are people who meet frequ ently in the winter to swim in freezing cold water. That day, the air temperature was 3 degrees. And the water temp erature was a little higher. The members of the Polar Bear Club at Coney Island, New York are usually about the ag e of 60. Members must satisfy two requirements. First, the y must get along well with everyone else in the group; thi s is very important because there are so many different kin ds of people in the club. Polar Bears must also agree to s wim outdoors at least twice a month from November throu gh February.Doctors don’t agree about the medical effects of cold-water swimming. Some are worried about the dangers of a condition in which the body’s temperature drops so slow that finally the heart stops. Other doctors, however, point o ut that there is more danger of a heart attack during summ er swimming because the difference between the air temper ature and the water tempreature is much greater in summer than in winter.The Polar Bears themselves are satisfied with the bene fits of cold-water swimming. They say that their favorite f orm of exercise is very good for the circulatory system be cause it forces the blood to move fast to keep the body w arm. Cold-water swimmers usually turn bright red after a few minutes in the water. A person who turns blue probabl y has a very poor circulatory system and could not try col d-water swimming.The main benefits of cold-water swimming are probabl y mental. The Polar Bears love to swim all the year round; they find it fun and relaxing. As one 70-year-old woman says, “When I go into the water, I pour my troubles into t he ocean and let them float away.”1)、(单选题)Doctors _________ .•A、have different ideas about the medical effectsof cold-water swimming•B、believe swimming is helpful both in summer and in winter•C、enourage people to take part in cold-water swimming•D、point out the possible danger of blood illness during cold-water swimming2)、(单选题)According to the passage, somedoctors believe it is true that_______ .•A、Polar bears are bears swimming in freezing water•B、cold-water swimming can make the body temperature dangerously high•C、you are healthy if cold-water swimming turns yourskin color blue•D、cold-water swimming causes more heart attack in summer than in winter3)、(单选题)The Polar Bears like to swimyear-round, for _______ .•A、it is an easy way to keep the body warm in winter•B、they can stay young•C、they find it enjoyable and interesting•D、they might meet fewer troubles in life4)、(单选题)Which of the following isTRUE according to the text ?•A、The Polar Bear is a club in which people swim to protect polar bears.•B、The club members are all over 60 years old. •C、There is no woman in the club.•D、None of the above.5)、(单选题)This passage is mainly about_______ .•A、the requirements of the Polar Bear Club•B、a group of cold-water-swimming lovers•C、the Polar Bears’life in New York•D、doctors’ideas about cold-water swimming参考答案:1) A;2) D;3) C;4) D;5) B;展开解析33(15分)、How many times have you got upset because someone wasn't doing his job,because your child isn't behaving?H ow many times have you been irritatedwhen you've planne d something carefully and things didn't go as you'd hoped?This kind of anger and irritation happens to all of us —it’s part of the human experiences.One thing that irritates me is when people talk during a movie,or cut me off in traffic. Actually, I have a lot of these little annoyances—don't we all?And it isn’t alway s easy to find peace when you’ve become upset or irritate d.Let me tell you a little secret to finding peace of min d: see the glass as already broken .See, the cause of our stress, anger and irritation is tha t things don't go the way we like, the way we expect the m to. Think of how many times this has been true for yo u. And so the solution is simple:expect things to go wrong, expect things to be different than we hoped or planned,expect the unexpected to happen. And accept it.One quick example: on our recent trip to Japan, I told my kids to expect things to go wrong—they always do o n a trip. I told them, “See it as part of the adventure.”And this worked like a charm. When we inevitablytoo k the wrong train on a foreignlanguage subway system, or when it rained on the day we went to Disney Sea, or wh en we took three trains and walked 10 blocks only to find the National Children's Castle closed on Mondays...they sa id, “It's part of the adventure!”And it was all OK—we d idn't get too bothered.So when the nice glass you bought inevitably falls and breaks some day, you might get upset. But things will be different, if you see the glass as already broken, from th e day you get it. You know it'll break some day, so from the beginning, see it as already broken. Be a timetraveler, or someone with timetraveling vision, and see the future of this glass, from this moment until it inevitably breaks. And when it breaks, you won't be upset or sad—because it was already broken, from the day you got it. And you’ll realize that every moment you have with it is precious.1)、(单选题)The author would probablyagree that________.•A、we should control our anger and irritation •B、we must get well prepared for the future•C、optimism can help us overcome our anger and irritation•D、anger and irritation is a natural part of our life 2)、(单选题)The purpose of the author isto________.•A、tell us his own experience in life•B、advise us how to find peace of mind•C、tell us a happy trip he took with his children •D、ask us to see things from both sides3)、(单选题)By the underlined part (inPara.3), the author tells usto________.•A、get ready for the worst result of things•B、enjoy the process of things•C、expect little from life•D、find the relationship between cause and effect 4)、(单选题)The author’s children couldenjoy their trip to Japanbecause________.•A、everything went smoothly•B、they had a lot of adventures•C、they had expected things to go wrong•D、they could soon get used to the customs there5)、(单选题)We can learn from the passage that theauthor________.•A、often gets angry in his life•B、can adjust his state of mind accordingly•C、always expects others to act in his way•D、always suffers from his anger and irritation参考答案:1) D;2) B;3) A;4) C;5) B;展开解析翻译题34(2分)、If they get the feeling you really care,they'll respond to t hat.

Each passage isfollowed by some questions or unfinished statements. For each ofthem there are four choices marked A), B), C) and D). You shoulddecide on the best choice and mark the corresponding letter on theAnswer Sheet.Passage OneQuestions 11 to 15 are based on the following passage.It is true that some couples spend every waking minute together.Others fill their hours with personal hobbies, outside interestsand even part-time jobs, just to keep their distance from each other!"There should be private time and couple time," suggests Dr. Stephen, "You don't want your latter years to turn into a process where two people unite as one. If you hold too tightly to your partner, it's going to cause resentment and anger. If you're completely separate, you'll both be lonely and disconnected. You need balance. So you have to talk about how you'll achieve that."The right balance It's different for every couple. "Having a conversation about time can be difficult, but it's important for both partners to process those feelings out loud," Dr. Stephen says. "You should not be accusing and act as a judge—ask the difficult questions, but do it in a loving way. You could say something like, 'How are we going to be as individuals and how are we going to be as a couple' "Barbara and Chris Christensen have achieved the balance that works for them. In addition to daily routines that keep them close —including about 10 minutes for a daily check-in and about a half hour of relaxation time—they each maintain separate interests and friendships."We have found that we need time apart," Barbara says. "I have a group of women friends that I have known for the last 30 years. We have dinner out once a month. We women also have parties and weekend or weeklong vacations as a group at a beach or somewhere.Chris, a former fighter pilot, has many aviation-oriented (航空的) groups and friends and also a poker-playing group. We have found it important to have separate time as well as together time."11. The author writes the passage to ______.A) offer some suggestions on how to spend the time afterretirementB) advise couples to develop their separate hobbiesC) warn couples not to be accusing each otherD) give people some advice on how to entertain themselves afterretirement12. The second paragraph is mainly intended to_______.A) warn the husband not to act as a judgeB) suggest couples have discussions about difficultiesC) suggest how to keep the correct balanceD) require couples to be considerate13. Dr. Stephen suggests that _________after retirement.A) couples s tay together all the timeB) couples express their feelings in a loving wayC) couples be separateD) wives make many friends14. It can be inferred that________.A) many couples are faced with problems after retirementB) America has a large population of retired peopleC) most people join various social groups after retirementD) playing poker is a popular activity among retired people15. Barbara and her friends do the following EXCEPT_______.A) having dinner regularlyB) holding partiesC) having weekly vacations at the beachD) having fun playing pokerPassage TwoQuestions 16 to 20 are based on the following passage.Elderly people respond best to a calm and unhurried environment. This is not always easy to provide as their behavior can sometimes be irritating. If they get excited or upset then they may become more difficult to look after. Although sometimes it can be extremely difficult, it is best to be patient and not to get upset yourself. You should always encourage old people to do as much as possible for themselves but be ready to lend a helping hand when necessary.Failing memory makes it difficult for the person to recall all the basic kinds of information we take for granted. The obvious way to help in this situation is to supply the information that is missing and help them make sense of what is going on. You must use every opportunity to provide information but remember to keep itsimple and straightforward.“Good morning, Mum. This is Fiona, your daughter. It is eight o’clock, so if you get up now, we can have breakfast downstairs.”When the elderly makes confused statements e.g. about going out to his or her old employment or visiting a dead relative, correct in a calm matter-of-fact fashion: “You don’t work in the office any more. You are retired now. Will you come and help me with the dishes”We rely heavily on the information provided by signposts, clocks, calendars and newspapers. These assist us to organize and direct our behavior. Confused old people need these aids all the time to compensate for their poor memory. Encourage them to use reminder boards or diaries for important coming events and label the contents of different cupboards and drawers. Many other aids such as information cards, old photos, scrap books, and addresses or shopping list could help in individual case.16. Why can’t we sometimes keep calm in front of old peopleA)Because old people sometimes annoy us.B)Because old people sometimes don’t understand us.C)Because we are sometimes in a bad mood.D)Because we are sometimes in a hurry.17. What does the author encourage us when we talk with old peopleA) To do as little as possible.B) To do as much as they can.C) To help others when needed.D) To be patient and not get upset.18. How should we provide information to old people with failing memoriesA) By being helpful.B) By being direct.C) By being sensitive.D) By being obvious.19. What is the purpose of information provided on such things as signpostsA) To help us organize and direct our behavior.B) To help us make use of newspapers.C) To help us correct other people.D) To help us understand statements.20. What is the main idea of the passageA)What happens to old people with failing memory.B)How to help old people with failing memory.C)Why old people have poor memory.D)How to improve bad memory.Passage ThreeQuestions 21 to 25 are based on the following passage.It is often the case that when something goes wrong,it can be very satisfying to say,”Well, it’s so-and-so’s fault.” or“I know I’m late,but it’s not my fault;the car broke down.” It is probably not your fault,but once you form the habit of blaming somebody or something else for a bad situation,you are a loser. You have no power and could do nothing that helps change the situation. However, you can have great power over what happens to you if you stop focusing on whom to blame and start focusing on how to remedy the situation. This is the winner’s key to success.Winners are great at overcoming problems. For example, if you were late because your car broke down, maybe you need to have your car examined more regularly. Or, you might start to carry along with you the useful phone numbers, so you could call for help when in need. For another example, if your colleague causes you problems on the job for lack of responsibility or ability, find ways of dealing with his irresponsibility or inability rather than simply blame the person. Ask to work with a different person, or don’t rely on the person. You should accept that the person. Ask to work with a different person, or don’t rely on this person. You should accept that the person is not reliable and find creative ways to work successfully regardless of how your colleague fails to do hisjob well.This is what being a winner is all about—creatively using your skills and talents so that you are successful no matter what happens. Winners don’t have fewer problems in their lives; they have just as many difficult situations to face as anybody else. They are just better at seeing those problems as challenges and opportunities to develop their own talents. So, stop focusing on “whose fault it is.” Once you are confident about your power over bad situations, problems are just stepping stop on for success.21. According to the passage, winners tend to _______.A) deal with problems rather than blame othersB) meet with fewer difficulties in their livesC) have responsible and able colleaguesD) blame themselves rather that others22.The word “remedy” in Paragraph 1 is closest in meaning to “_______”.A) avoid B) acceptC) improve D) consider23. When your colleague brings about a problem, you should _______.A) find a better way to handle itB) blame him for his lack of responsibilityC) tell him to find the cause of the problemD) ask a more able colleague for help24. When problems occur, winners take them as _______A) excuses for their failuresB) barriers to greater powerC) challenges to their colleaguesD) chances for self-development25. Which of the following is the best title for the passageA) A Winner’s Problem. B) A Winner’s Secret.C) A Winner’s Opportunity. D) A Winner’s Achievement.Passage FourQuestions 26 to 30 are based on the following passage.In order to go ahead, large companies need a way to reach the savings of the public at large. The same problem, on a smaller scale, faces practically every company trying to develop new products and create new jobs. There can be little prospect of raising the sort of sums needed from friends and people we know, and while banks may agree to provide short-term finance, they are generally unwilling to provide money on a permanent basis for long term projects. So companies turn to the public, inviting people to lend them money, or take a share in the business in exchange for a share in future profits. This they do by issuing stocks and shares in the businessthrough the Stock Exchange. By doing so,they can put into circulation the savings of individuals and institutions, both at home and overseas.When the saver needs his money back, he does not have to go to the company with whom he originally placed it. Instead, he sells his shares through a stockbroker to some other saver who is seeking to invest his money.Many of the services needed both by industry and by each of us are provided by the Government or by local authorities. Without hospitals, roads, electricity, telephones, railways, this country could not function. All these require continuous spending on new equipment and new development if they are to serve us properly, requiring more money than is raised though taxes alone. The Government, local authorities, and nationalized industries therefore frequently need to borrow money to finance major capital spending, and they, too, come to the Stock Exchange.There is hardly a man or woman in this country whose job or whose standard of living does not depend on the ability of his or her employers to raise money to finance new development. In one way or another, this new money must come from the savings of the country. The Stock Exchange exists to provide a channel through which these savings can reach those who need finance.26.Almost all companies involved in new production must ______.A) rely on their own financial resourcesB) persuade the banks to provide long-term loanC) borrow large sums of money from friends and people they knowD) depend on the population as a whole for finance27.The money which enables these companies to go ahead with theirprojects is ______.A) invested in different companies on the Stock ExchangeB) exchanged for part ownership in the Stock ExchangeC) raised by the selling of shares in the companiesD) repaid to its original owners as soon as possible28.When the savers want their money back, they ______.A) put their shares in the company back on the marketB) ask another company to obtain their money for themC) look for other people to borrow money fromD) transfer their money to a more successful company29.All the essential services on which we depend are ______.A) run by the Government or our local authoritiesB) in constant need of financial supportC) financed wholly by rates and taxesD) unable to provide for the needs of the population30.The Stock Exchange makes it possible for the government, localauthorities and nationalized industries ______.A) to make everybody lend money to themB) to borrow as much money as they wishC) to make certain everybody saves moneyD) to raise money to finance new developmentsPart III Vocabulary and Structure (25 minutes)Directions:There are 25 incomplete sentences in this part. For each sentence there are four choices marked A), B), C) and D). Choose the ONE that best completes the sentence.

It is actually a common courtesy (礼节) in the world. With a history of thousands of years, this Chinese tradition has formed and been passed down from generation to generation. For Chinese people, courtesy demands reciprocity (互惠), which means people who are well-mannered to others will receive kindness and favors. If they receive a gift, an invitation or hospitality treatment from someone, they will offer back to the one when it is suitable. The custom of reciprocity is also considered a traditional way to build and maintain friendship. For birthdays, weddings or parties, giving suitable gifts in China is just as any other countries do.

Each passage is followed by some questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four suggested answers marked A, B, C and D. Choose the best answer to each question. Please mark the corresponding letter for each item on the Answer Sheet.Passage 1The family in the western world has changed greatly during the last two centuries. Social scientists say this is one of the important changes from a traditional society to a modern society. Before the nineteenth century, families usually arranged marriages for their children. Y oung people did not decide whom they wanted to marry. After they got married, they usually had a lot of children. This family was an important part of the large family of aunts, uncles, cousins, grandparents, and other relatives.By the nineteenth century, most young people could choose whom they wanted to marry. Marriages joined two people and not two families. The reason why two people got married was because they loved each other.At the same time, parents began to realize that they had to take very good care of their children. They had to take care of their health and try to give them an education. Before this, most people did not go to school. But now education was necessary for a good life.The parents decided they should have fewer children as they could give each one a good life. They thought it was important for the mother to spend as much time as possible with her children. Before, the family all worked together at home. After 1800s more fathers worked outside the home for money. Mothers stayed home and had greater control of the home and children.Family life is changing even faster in the United States today. There is almost one divorce for every two marriages. Over 10 percent of families have a mother and children but no father. At least half of all children will live part of the time with only one parent. 50 percent of all mothers work outside the home.In Canada people are getting divorced and remarried more often. They are havingfewer children. This is having a powerful effect on a country where change has usuallybeen slow. Some social scientists think that soon there will be no family life in the United States as we know it today. They do not know how people will live. Others think society needs families, and we will always have them.注意:此部分试题请在答题卡上作答。

Each passage is followed by some questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A), B), C) and D). You should decide on the best choice and mark the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet. Passage OneQuestions 11 to 15 are based on the following passage.In bringing up children, every parent watches eagerly the child’s acquisition (学会) of each new skill-the first spoken words, the first independent steps, or the beginning of reading and writing. It is often tempting to hurry the child beyond his natural learning rate, but this can set up dangerous feelings of failure and states of worry in the child: This might happen at any stage. A baby might be forced to use a toilet too early, a young child might be encouraged to learn to read before he knows the meaning of the words he reads. On the other hand, though, if a child is left alone too much, or without any learning opportunities, he loses his natural enthusiasm for life and his desire to find out new things for himself.Patents vary greatly in their degree of strictness towards their children. Some may be especially strict in money matters. Others are severe over times of coming home at night or punctuality for meals. In general, the controls imposed represent the needs of the parents and the values of the community as much as the child’s own happiness.As regards the development of moral standards in the growing child, consistency is very important in parental teaching. To forbid a thing one day and excuse it the next is no foundation for morality (道德). Also, parents should realize that “example is better than precept”. If they are not sincere and do not practise what they preach (说教), their children may grow confused, and emotionally insecure when they grow old enough to think for themselves, and realize they have been to some extent fooled.A sudden awareness of a marked difference between their parents’ principles and their morals can be a dangerous disappointment.11. Eagerly watching the child’s acquisition of new skills ________.A) should be avoidedB) is universal among parentsC) sets up dangerous states of worry in the childD) will make him lose interest in learning new things12. In the process of children’s learning new skills parents ________.A) should encourage them to read before they know the meaning of the words they readB) should not expect too much of themC) should achieve a balance between pushing them too hard and leaving them on their ownD) should create as many learning opportunities as possible13. The second paragraph mainly tells us that ________.A) parents should be strict with their childrenB) parental controls reflect only the needs of the parents and the values of the communityC) parental restrictions vary, and are not always enforced for the benefit of the children aloneD) parents vary in their strictness towards their children according to the situation14. The word “precept” (Line 3, Para. 3) probably means “________”.A) idea B) punishmentC) behavior D) instruction15. In moral matters, parents should ________.A) observe the rules themselvesB) be aware of the marked difference between adults and childrenC) forbid things which have no foundation in moralityD) consistently ensure the security of their childrenPassage TwoQuestions 16 to 20 are based on the following passage.These days we take for granted the wide variety of music available on the radio. But, this wasn’t always the case. In the early days of radio, stations were capable of broadcasting only a narrow range of sounds, which was all right for the human voice but music didn’t sound very good. There was also a great deal of crackling and other static noises that further interfered with the quality of the sound.A man named Edwin Armstrong, who was a music lover, set out to change this. He invented FM radio, a technology that allowed stations to send a broad range of frequencies that greatly improved the quality of the music.Now, you’d think that this would have made him a millionaire; it didn’t. Radio stations at that time had invested enormous amounts of money in the old technology. So the last thing they wanted was to invest millions more in the new technology. Nor did they want to have to compete with other radio stations that had a superior sound and could put them out of business. So they pressured the Federal Communications Commission —the department of the United States government that regulates radio stations — to put restrictive regulations on FM radio.The result was that its use was limited to a very small area around New England. Of course as we all know, Edwin Armstrong’s FM technology eventually prevailed and was adopted by thousands of stations round the world. But this took years of court battles and he never saw how itcame to affect the lives of almost everyone.16. What is the passage mainly about?A) The invention of musical recording equipment.B) The role of government in mass communications.C) The emergence of a new technology.D) The similarities between old and new radio stations.17. What was the main disadvantage of early radio broadcasting?A) It was very expensive.B) The sound quality was poor.C) It could only transmit a human voice.D) The signal was transmitted over a small area.18. What was the purpose of Edwin Armstrong by inventing FM radio?A) To make it possible for radio stations to broadcast a broad range of sounds.B) To make other radio stations spend a large sum of money on more research.C) To make himself world-famous and therefore earn more money.D) To make radio stations compete with one another.19. Why did the owners of radio stations react negatively to Armstrong’s invention?A) Its use was too strictly regulated. B) They thought it was unsafe.C) It threatened their business. D) It was of poor quality.20. What does the passage imply about Edwin Armstrong?A) He became a millionaire from his invention.B) He was an accomplished musician.C) He worked for the Federal Communications Commission.D) He died before FM became popular.Passage ThreeQuestions 21 to 25 are based on the following passage.Psychologist George Spilich and colleagues at Washington College in Chestertown, Maryland, decided to find out whether, as many smokers say, smoking helps them to “think and concentrate. Spilich put young non-smokers, active smokers and smokers deprived (被剥夺) of cigarettes through a series of tests.In the first test, each subject (试验对象) sat before a computer screen and pressed a key as soon as he or she recognized a target letter among a grouping of 96. In this simple test, smokers, deprived smokers and non-smokers performed equally well.The next test was more complex, requiring all to scan sequences of 20 identical letters and respond the instant one of the letters transformed into a different one. Non-smokers were faster, but under the stimulation of nicotine (尼古丁), active smokers were faster than deprived smokers.In the third test of short-term memory, non-smokers made the fewest errors, but deprived smokers committed fewer errors than active smokers.The fourth test required people to read a passage, then answer questions about it. Non-smokers remembered 19 percent more of the most important information than active smokers, and deprived smokers bested those who had smoked a cigarette just before testing. Active smokers tended not only to have poorer memories but also had trouble separating important information from insignificant details.“As our tests became more complex,” s ums up Spilich, “non-smokers performed better than smokers by wider and wider margins” He predicts, “smokers might perform adequately at m any jobs-until they got complicated. A smoking airline pilot could fly adequately if no problems arose, but if something went wrong, smoking might damage his mental capacity.”21. The purpose of George Spilich’s experiments is ________.A) to test whether smoking has a positive effect on the mental capacity of smokersB) to show how smoking damages people’s mental capacityC) to prove that smoking affects people’s regular performanceD) to find out whether smoking helps people’s short-term memory22. George Spilich’s experiment was conducted in such a way as to ________.A) compel the subjects to separate major information from minor detailsB) put the subjects through increasingly complex testsC) check the effectiveness of nicotine on smokersD) register the prompt responses of the subjects23. The word “bested” (Line 3, Para. 5) most probably means ________.A) beat B) enviedC) caught up with D) made the best of24. Which of the following statements is true?A) Active smokers in general performed better than deprived smokers.B) Active smokers responded more quickly than the other subjects.C) Non-smokers were not better than other subjects in performing simple tasks.D) Deprived smokers gave the slowest responses to the various tasks.25. We can infer from the last paragraph that ________.A) smokers should not expect to become airline pilotsB) smoking in emergency cases causes mental illnessC) no airline pilots smoke during flightsD) smokers may prove unequal to handing emergency casesPassage FourQuestions 26 to 30 are based on the following passage.St. Patrick’s Day (March 17) is one of the most important holidays in Ireland. People will wear green shirts, ties, and hair ribbons. Some even dye their hair green because they believe that on that day the color brings them good luck.On St. Patrick’s Day, the Irish around the world traditionally attend church in the morning and have some celebrations in the afternoon. They dance, drink, parade, and feast. A traditional meal includes meat, cabbage and a special Irish beer called Guinness.St. Patrick’s Day is a religious holiday that can be traced back more than one thousand years ago, and it is related to a boy named St. Patrick who became an Irish saint when he grew up.He was born to a wealthy family in Wales around the year 385 AD. But when he was sixteen, a band of raiders(劫掠者)took him as a slave to what is now the neighboring island of Ireland.Patrick lived there for several years. He was so lonely and afraid that he took solace in religion and became a faithful Christian. Later, he returned to Ireland as a missionary, traveling from village to village and talking about his faith. He explained to people the Father, the Son (Jesus), and the Holy Spirit as each of the leaves of a shamrock. There were three leaves, yet they were one plant. From then on, the shamrock, a small plant that grew wild around Ireland, has been a symbol of Ireland and because of it, green is associated with St. Patrick’s Day.26. From the passage, we can infer that ______.A) Patrick lived in Ireland all his lifeB) Patrick’s family was very poorC) Patrick’s life in what is now the neighboring island of Ireland was hardD) Patrick didn’t believe in Christianity27. What is the symbol of Ireland according to this passage?A) St. Patrick. B) Guinness. C) Cabbage. D) Shamrock.28. The underlined word “solace” in Paragraph 5 means ______.A) love B) happiness C) hatred D) comfort29.

What is the passage about?A) The symbols of St. Patrick’s Day.B) The origin of St. Patrick’s Day.C) St. Patrick’s life. D) The history of St. Patrick’s Day.Part III Vocabulary and Structure (25 minutes) Directions:There are 25 incomplete sentences in this part.

Reading Comprehension (40)Passage OneFor years it has been possible to set up cameras to take pictures of cars as they speed along highways, jump lights or drive too fast down the street.However, even if the pictures are taken automatically (自动地), someone still has to do all the paperwork of sending out fines. But now a British company called EEV has come up with a computerized video system that can do it all automatically.They suggest that all number plates (车牌) have a bar code as well as the usual number. The bar codes are just stripes of lines like those you see on food packets but bigger. EEV‟s high speed video camera system can read a bar-coded number plate even if the car is doing over 100 miles per hour. The computer controlling the system could then use the information from the bar code to find out the name and address of the driver (from the car records), print out the fine and send it off automatically. The inventors also suggest that the system should watch traffic to help catch stolen cars.The new electronic system could be watching everyone that passes the cameras! Many people find the idea that “big brother is watching you”is more of a worry than a few motorists getting away with driving too fast. Besides, some people will be very unhappy to realize that with the new system the police should find out where a particular car has been.1. The best title for the article can be _____.A. people who drive too FastB. stop people from driving too fastC. EEV and the police systemD. a new computerized system for motoring breaking laws2.

That was it, then: She was French, from a family, most of whom like climbing. No doubt. No other explanation.A month later I met them both in town. Anna surprised me be cause she was English. She was a dancer in the theatre. “Neve r climbed more than sixty steps in my life.” She told me. “Peter has 11im interests, and I‟ve got mine. No problems.” “No problems.”“None at all,”Peter said, smiling. “Where did you spend your honeymoon?”“I flew to New York to see the drake Dancers on Broadway.

But Hagner also has to take the two boys to soccer or hockey or basketball while dropping off her daughter at piano lessons or Girl Scout Club.Often the exhausted family doesn‟t get home until 7 p.m. There is just time for a quick supper before homework.In today‟s world,middle-class American and British parents treat their children as if they are competitors racing for some finishing line.Parents take their children from activity to activity in order to make their future bright. It seems that raising a genius has become a more important goal than raising a happy and well-balanced child.“Doctors across the country are reporting a growing num ber of children suffering from stomach-aches and headaches due to exhaustion and stress,” says child expert William Daherty of the U niversity of Minnesota.Teachers are dealing with exhausted kids in the classroom. It‟s a very serious problem. Many children attend after-school clubs by necessity. But competitive pressures also create an explosion of activities. They include sports, language, music and math classes for children as young as four.“There is a new parenting trend (趋势) under way which says that you have to tap all your child‟s potential (潜能) at a young age; otherwise you will let him down,” says Terry Apter, a Cambridge based child and adolescent psychiatrist (精神病学家).“It isn‟t entirely new: There have always been pushy parents.
