For each blank there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. You should choose the ONE that best fits into the passage and mark the corresponding letter on the ANSWER SHEET.For many people today, reading is no longer relaxation. To keep up with their work, they must read letters, reports, trade publications, interoffice communications, not to mention newspapers and magazines: a never ending flood of words. In 51 a job or advancing in one, the ability to read and comprehend 52 can mean the difference between success and failure. Yet the unfortunate fact is that most of us are 53 readers. Most of us develop poor reading 54 at an early age, and never get over them. The main deficiency 55 in the actual stuff of language itself— words. Taken individually, words have 56 meaning until they are strung together into phrases, sentences and paragraphs. 57, however, the untrained reader does not read groups of words. He laboriously reads one word at a time, often regressing to 58 words or passages. Regression, the tendency to look back over 59 you havejust read, is a common bad habit in reading. Another habit which 60 down the speed of reading is vocalization( 发声 )—sounding each word either orally or mentally as 61 reads.To overcome these bad habits, some reading clinics use a device called an 62, which moves a bar(or curtain)down the page at a predetermined speed. The bar is set at a slightly faster rate 63 the reader finds comfortable, in order to “stretch ”him. The accelerator forces the reader to read fast, 64 word by word reading, regression and subvocalization practically impossible. At first 65 is sacrificed forspeed. But when you learn to read ideas and concepts, you will not only read faster, 66 your comprehension will improve. Many people have found 67 reading skill drastically improved after some training. 68 Chalice Au, a business manager, for instance, his reading rate was a reasonably good 172 words a minute 69 the training, now it is an excellent 1,378 words a minute. He is delighted that now he can 70 a lot more reading material in a short period of time.51. A. getting B. doing C. offering D. applying52. A. easily B. quickly C. roughly D. decidedly53.

His name was Alfred Nobel. He was a great scientist and inventor himself. Besides, he had a big business. His business may surprise you. He made and sold explosives. His companies even made and sold weapons. Isn’t this something that surprises you? The man who made money from weapons should set up the Peace Prize?Though Alfred Nobel had a lot of money from weapons, he hated war. He hoped that there would be no war in the world. He was one of the richest in Europe. When he died in 1896, he left behind him a lot of money and his famous will. According to his will, most of his money was placed in a fund. He wanted the interest from the fund to be used as prizes every year. We know them as the Nobel Prizes. The Nobel Prizes are international. Alfred Nobel wanted the winners to be chosen for their work, not the country they came from.Alfred Nobel had given his whole life to his studies and work and to the benefits of mankind. He made money all by his own efforts, but he left the world share his wealth. His inventions and wealth stay with the world for ever.61.

If you are a dinner guest in Ghana, this information will help you a lot.In Ghana dinner is usually from four in the afternoon to six in the evening. But there are no strict rules about time. Whenever a guest arrives, a family offers food. When you go to a home, the person who receives guests takes you to the living room first. At this time everyone welcomes you. Then you go to the dining room. There you wash your hands in a bowl of water. All the food is on the table.In Ghana you usually eat with your fingers. You eat from the same dish as everyone else. But you eat from one side of the dish only. It is not polite to get food from the other side of the dish. After dinner, you wash your hands again in a bowl of water.Most meals in Ghana have a dish called fufu. People in Ghana make fufu from the powder of some plants. Sometimes they cut the fufu with a saw because it is very hard. You must chew fufu well, or you may get sick. You eat fufu with the fingers of your right hand only.66. From the passage we know that in Ghana _____.A. the rules for dinner time are not strictB. dinner is always at six in the eveningC. a family offers food only at four in the afternoonD. people usually invite their guests to dinner later in the evening67.If you are a dinger guest in Ghana ,the host(主人)always takes you to _____.A. the dining room firstB. the living room firstC. the kitchen firstD. the garden first68 People in Ghana usually eat _____.A. from one side of a dish to the otherB. from the other side of the dishC. with their fingersD. with their spoons69.

When you eat fufu, you’d better _____.A. cut it with a sawB. use your right hand onlyC. chew it wellD. all of the abovepassage 3Most people usually traveled by ship and train which are driven by steam engine. It played an important part in many kinds of vehicles several scores of years ago. Who invented steam engine and what units could be used to measure the power of engine？The word “horse-power” was first used two hundred years ago. James Watt from a worker’s family made the world first widely used steam engine. At first, he couldn’t tell people how powerful it was, because there were no units at that time. Watt decided to find out how much work one strong horse could do in one minute. He named that unit one horse-power. In this way he could measure the work of his steam engine.He discovered that a horse could lift a 3300-pound weight 10 feet into the air in one minute. His engine could lift a 3300-pound weight 100 feet in one minute. Because his engine did ten times as much work as the horse, Watt called it a ten horse-power engine.71. The main idea of the passage is ___.A. James Watt invented the steam engineB. James Watt first used horse-power as a unit of measureC. how much power does a horse haveD. why Watt’s engine is called a ten horse-power engine72. The story says that Watt made the first ____.A. engineB. horse-power engineC. useful engineD. widely used steam engine73.

One horse-power means the ____.A. work a horse could do in a minuteB. weight a horse could do in ten minutesC. work a horse could do in ten minutesD. weight of one horsePassage 4Another thing an astronaut has to learn about is eating in space. Food is weightless, just as men are.Food for space has to be packed in special ways. Some of it goes into tubes that a man can squeeze into his mouth. Bite-sized cookies are packed in plastic.There is a good reason for covering each bite. The plastic keeps pieces of food from traveling in the spaceship. On the earth very small pieces of food would simply fall to the floor. But gravity doesn’t pull them to the floor when they are out of the plastic in a spaceship. They move here and there and can get into a man’s eyes or into the spaceship’s instruments. If any of the instruments is blocked, the astronauts may have trouble getting safely home.As astronauts travel on longer space trips, they must take time to sleep. An astronaut can fit himself to his seat with a kind of seat belt .Or, if he wants to, he can sleep in a sleeping bag which is fixed in place under his seat. But be careful he must put his hands under the belt when he goes to sleep. This is because he is really afraid that he might touch one of controls that isn’t supposed to be touched until later.76. Why would astronauts cover each bite of food in space？____A. Because small pieces of food would fall down to the floor.B. Because weightless pieces of food might make trouble when they travel around.C. Because they haven’t enough food for longer trips.D. because astronauts don’t want to waste food.77. In a spaceship, astronauts can ____.A. walk just as they do on the earthB. not eat anything because it’s dangerousC. control the spaceship when they are sleepingD. not litter small things or it will make trouble78. In what way is food for space packed？___A. Very small pieces of food are put on the floor.B. Some of it is put into tubes.C. Small-sized cookies are packed in plastic.D. Both B and C.79. Why does an astronaut put his hand under his belt when he sleeps？____A. Because he thinks it is comfortable to sleep in that way in space.B. Because he doesn’t want to touch any controls when he sleeps.C. Because the instruments of the spaceship are easily broken.D. Because he is afraid that the seat will move.80. The best title of this article is ____.A. Eating and Sleeping in SpaceB. How Astronauts Eat in SpaceC. Food for SpaceD. How Astronauts Sleep in SpacePart IV Translation汉译英：81.过去在路的尽头有一家商店82.只有那时，我才有机会实现我的梦想。

A man was standing on the corner, and something deep 52 me said, “Just help him.” 53 I rolled down my window, and he ran over with enthusiasm, saying “God bless you, I only need 77 cents.” I 54 into my ashtray and strangely enough, there sat three quarters and two pennies.I scooped（抓起）it up and gave it to him.

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 mark the corresponding letter on Answer Sheet .Passage 1Having finished her homework, Ma Li wants some music for relaxation①. As usual, she starts her computer and goes to to download music files. But this time she is surprised when an announcement about protecting songs’ copyright bursts onto the screen. The age of free music and movie downloads may have come to an end as Web companies like Baidu are accused of pirating copyright. Lawsuits have been filed against four websites offering free downloads. In September 2005, a Beijing court ordered Baidu to pay recording company Shanghai Push compensation for their losses. Baidu was also told to block the links to the pirated music on the website. This caused a heated discussion on Interact file sharing.“Baidu’s defeat in the lawsuit shows it is not right to get copyrighted songs without paying. Downloaders may face lawsuits or fines,” said an official.Like many teens, Huang Ruoru, an 18-year-old girl from Puning in Guangdong Province, doesn’t think that getting music from websites is wrong. She always shares her favourite songs downloaded from Baidu with her friends. When told about the lawsuit, she began to feel a little guilty about obta ining others’ work without paying.However, other teenagers have different ideas. Wang Yafei, a Senior 2 girl from Jinan, Shandong Province pointed out that file sharing is a good way to promote pop singers. “If I download a song and really like it, I will buy the CD,” she said. “So what the recording companies really should concentrate on is improving their music, rather than pursuing file-sharers.”61. Which of the following best describes the passage?A. Music on the Internet is of better quality.B. Downloading material can be illegal.C. It’s good to get free music on the Internet.D. Baidu is a popular web company.62. The four web companies were put to court because _________.A. they got copyrighted songs without payingB. they downloaded copyrighted music for peopleC. they make copyrighted files for free downloadsD. they offer free music on line63. How do some of the teenagers feel while downloading free music after the lawsuit?A. A bit guilty.B. A little sad.C. Extremely angry.D. Awfully sorry.64. What’s the advantage of tile sharing for recording companies?A. Getting more money from web companies.B. Enabling people to download favorite songs.C. Helping to improve the music.D. Making pop singers more popular.65. It can be inferred from the text that _________.A. Web companies are still ignoring the copyright laws.B. Teenagers haven’t got money to buy CDs.C. Teenagers are probably still downloading free music.D. Teenagers prefer CDs with copyright to pirated music.Passage 2Internet dating has become one of the biggest and most successful business ventures on theInternet．Basically, Internet dating is a way to meet people for either friendship or dating without actually having to meet them in person first．The first thing to do it you decide to try Internet dating is to build your profile （简介）which can include your hobbies, hopes for the future, and so on．A photograph is optional, but many sites claim that a photograph increases the number of people who look at your profile．Many Internet dating sites will charge a one-lime registration fee to use their services.Internet dating makes it possible to meet people from all over the world．You can even narrow the search down to your area by zip code．Another advantage is that you can communicate by e-mail before you meet in person．Thousands of people have met, fallen in love, and married through Internet dating．It is an excellent way for shy people to meet．It is also a way for people with busy lives to connect with others, and an easy way to meet people who share your interests．Just as in traditional dating and love, there are some pitfalls to be aware of in Internet dating．The person you have been talking to on the Net may not be who they say they are, Be very aware that there are some people who misrepresent their appearance or private details, such as marital status, income, and so on, for their own reasons．It would not be the first time that someone has been taken in, and talk shows are full of cheating partners who have been caught dating over the Internet in their spare time．Nevertheless, taking a few simple precautions should help ensure that your Internet dating experience is fun．66．The purpose of writing the passage is to _____．A．persuade readers to go dating on the Internet B．inform us how to date on the Internet C．warn readers against web love D．introduce Internet dating to us 67．Which of the following is a must to make an Internet dating possible?A．A photo．B．A profile．C．Money．D．Business experience．68．One advantage of Internet dating is that _____．A．you can avoid a face-to-face meeting in the beginningB．you're sure to find a partner with the same interestsC．you'll find absolutely dependable information of othersD．you'll gain fame and money overnight69．What is probably talked about following the last paragraph?A．Traditional dating．B．Hidden advantages C．Safety measures．D．Romantic love．70．The underlined word "pitfalls" in Paragraph 4 most probably means ______ A．rules B．trends C．problems D．skillsPassage 3The drug store was closing for the night and Alfred Higgins was about to go home when his new boss approached him.“Empty your pockets please, Alfred,” Sam Carr demanded in a firm voice.Alfred pretended to be shocked but he knew he’d been caught. From his coat he withdrew a make-up kit, a lipstick and two tubes of toothpaste.“I’m disappointed in you, Alfred!” said the little gray-haired man.“Sorry, sir. Please forgive me. It’s the first time I’ve ever done such a thing,” Alfred li ed, hoping to gain the old man’s sympathy.Mr Carr’s brow furrowed as he reached for the phone, “Do you take me for a fool? Let’s see what the police have to say. But first I’ll call your mother and let her know her son is heading to jail.”“Do whatever you want,” Alfred shot back, trying to sound big. But deep down he felt like a child. He imagined his mother rushing in, eyes burning with anger, maybe in tears. Yet he wanted her to come quickly before Mr. Carr called the police.Mr. Carr was surprised when Mrs Higgins finally arrived. She was very calm, quiet and friendly. “Is Alfred in trouble?” she asked.“He’s been stealing from the store,” the old man coolly replied.Mrs. Higgins put out her hand and touched Mr. Carr’s arm with great gentleness as if she knew just how he felt. She spoke as if she did not want to cause him any more trouble. “What do you want to do, Mr. Carr?”The woman’s calm and gentle manner disarmed the once-angry store-owner. “I was going to get a cop. But I don’t want to be cruel. Tell your son not to come back here again, and I’ll let it go.” Then he warmly shook Mrs. Higgins’s hand.Mrs. Higgins thanked the old man for his kindness, then mother and son left. They walked along the street in silence. When they arrived home his mothe r simply said, “Go to bed, you fool.”In his bedroom, Alfred heard his mother in the kitchen. He felt no shame, only pride in his mother’s actions. “She was smooth!” he thought. He went to the kitchen to tell her how great she was, but was shocked by what he saw.His mother’s face looked frightened, broken. Not the cool, bright face he saw earlier. Her lips moved nervously. She looked very old. There were tears in her eyes.This picture of his mother made him want to cry. He felt his youth ending. He saw all the troubles he brought her and the deep lines of worry in her grey face. It seemed to him that this was the first time he had ever really seen his mother.71.．Which of the following is true according to the passage?A．Alfred tried to sound big to hide his fear.B．It was the first time Alfred had stolen anything.C．Mr. Carr set a trap to catch Alfred stealing.D．Mr. Carr had planned to forgive Alfred from the beginning.72.．What does the underlined word “disarmed” probably mean?A．annoyed B．convinced C．got over D．made less angry 73.．What impressed Alfred most about his mother at the drugstore was ______．A．how angry she was B．how effectively she handled Mr．Carr C．that she didn't cry D．that she was able to save him 74.．What was the mother's attitude toward Alfred?A．She was very strict with him．B．She was supportive of him．C．She felt disappointed with him．D．She was afraid of him．75.．From the last paragraph, we know that Alfred ______．A．was no longer a youth B．felt proud of his motherC．felt guilty and regretful for his deed D．wanted his mother to be happyPassage 4Most Americans get what money they have from their work; that is, they earn an income from wages or salaries. The richest Americans, however, get most of their money from what they own — their stocks, bonds, real estate, and other forms of property, or wealth. Although there are few accurate statistics to go by, wealth in American society appears to be concentrated in very few hands. More than 20 percent of everything that can be privately owned is held by less than onepercent of the adult population and more than 75 percent of all wealth is owned by 20 percent of American adults. The plain fact is that most Americans have no wealth at all aside from their homes, automobiles, and a small amount of savings.Income in the United States is not as highly concentrated as wealth. In 1917 the richest 10 percent of American families received 26.1 percent of all income, while the poorest 10 percent received 17 percent, mainly from Social Security and other government payments. The most striking aspect of income distribution is that it has not changed significantly since the end of World War II. Although economic growth has roughly doubled real disposable (可自由使用的) family income (the money left after taxes and adjusted for inflation) over the last generation, the size of the shares given to the rich and the poor is about the same. By any measure economic inequality is great in the United States.The reality behind these statistics is that a large number of Americans are poor. In 1918, 14 percent of the population was living below the federal government’s poverty line, which at that time was an annual income of $ 9 287 for a nonfarm family of two adults and two children. In other words, about one out of seven Americans over 31 million people was officially considered unable to buy the basic necessities of food, clothes, and shelter. The suggested poverty line in 1981 would have been an income of about $11, 200 for a family of four. By this relative definition, about 20 percent of the population or more than 45 million Americans are poor.76．What does the majority of the Americans have in terms of wealth?A．Their income and savings. B．Their house, cars and small amounts of savings.C．Everything they own in their homes. D．Actually, they have no wealth at all. 77．What is the percentage of wealth that is in the hands of most Americans?A．Less than 25%. B．More than 25%. C．More than 75%. D．Less than 20%. 78．Why is economic inequality still great in the US in spite of the economic growth?A．Because the economic growth has widened the gap of the family income between the rich and the poor.B．Because income in the US is still concentrated in the hands of the richest 10% of American families.C．Because the proportion of income received by the rich and the poor remains almost the same as in 1917.D．Because some Americans made great fortunes during the Second World War.79．What can we learn from comparison of the two poverty lines in the last paragraph?A. The poverty line of 1918 is more favorable to the poor than that of 1981.B. The 1981 line didn’t leave much to the poor.C. There were more Americans who were officially poor by the 1918 line.D. There were more Americans who were officially poor by the 1981 line.80．From the last two sentences we can see that 1981 government’s poverty line _______.A．was of no good for the poor B．was officially approvedC．was not helpful to the poor D．was not put into operation thenPart IV Translation (2×10)汉译英81、我建议你做功课先复习一下课文,这样你可以避免犯许多错误。

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 Answer Sheet .Passage 1In the 1960s, medical researchers Thomas Holmes and Richard Rahe developed a check list of stressful events. They appreciated the tricky point that any major change can be stressful. Negative events like ―serious illness of a family member‖ were high on the list, but so were some positive life-changing events, like marriage. When you take the Holmes-Rahe test you must remember that the score does not reflect how you deal with stress—it only shows how much you have to deal with. And we now know that the way you handle these events dramatically affects your chances of staying healthy.By the early 1970s, hundreds of similar studies had followed Holmes and Rahe. And millions of Americans who work and live under stress worried over the reports. Somehow, the research got boiled down to a memorable message. Women’s magazines ran headlines like ―Stress causes illness!‖ If you want to stayphysically and mentally healthy, the articles said, avoid stressful events.But such simplistic advice is impossible to follow. Even if stressful events are dangerous, many—like the death of a loved one—are impossible to avoid. Moreover, any warning to avoid all stressful events is a prescription (处方) for staying away from opportunities as well as trouble. Since any change can be stressful, a person who wanted to be completely free of stress would never marry, have a child, take a new job or move.The notion that all stress makes you sick also ignores a lot of what we know about people. It assumes we’re all vulnerable (脆弱的) and passive in the face of adversity (逆境). But what about human initiative and creativity? Many come through periods of stress with more physical and mental vigor than they had before. We also know that a long time without change or challenge can lead to boredom, and physical and metal strain.61. The result of Holmes-Rahe’s medical research tells us ________.A) the way you handle major events may cause stressB) what should be done to avoid stressC) what kind of event would cause stressD) how to cope with sudden changes in life62. The studies on stress in the early 1970’s led to ________.A) widespread concern over its harmful effectsB) great panic over the mental disorder it could causeC) an intensive research into stress-related illnessesD) popular avoidance of stressful jobs63. The score of the Holmes-Rahe test shows ________.A) how much pressure you are underB) how positive events can change your lifeC) how stressful a major event can beD) how you can deal with life-changing events64. Why is ―such simplistic advice‖ (Line 1, Para. 3) i mpossible to follow?A) No one can stay on the same job for long.B) No prescription is effective in relieving stress.C) People have to get married someday.D) You could be missing opportunities as well.65. According to the passage people who have experienced ups and downs may become ________.A) nervous when faced with difficultiesB) physically and mentally strainedC) more capable of coping with adversityD) indifferent toward what happens to themPassage2Most episodes of absent-mindedness—forgetting where you left something or wondering why you just entered a room—are caused by a si mple lack of attention, says Schacter. ―You’re supposed to remember something, but you haven’t encoded it deeply.‖Encoding, Schacter explains, is a special way of paying attention to an event that has a major impact on recalling it later. Failure to encode properly can create annoying situations. If you put your mobile phone in a pocket, for example, and don’t pay attention to what you did because you’re involved in a conversation, you’ll probably forget that the phone is in the jacket now hanging in you wardrobe (衣柜). ―Your memory itself isn’t failing you,‖ says Schacter. ―Rather, you didn’t give your memory system the information it needed.‖Lack of interest can also lead to absent-mindedness. ―A manwho can recite sports statistics from 30 years ago,‖ sa ys Zelinski, ―may not remember to drop a letter in the mailbox.‖ Women have slightly better memories than men, possibly because they pay more attention to their environment, and memory relies on just that.Visual cues can help prevent absent-mindedness, says Schacter. ―But be sure the cue is clear and available,‖ he cautions. If you want to re member to take a medication (药物) with lunch, put the pill bottle on the kitchen table—don’t leave it in the medicine chest and write yourself a note that you keep in a pocket.Another common episode of absent-mindedness: walking into a room and wondering w hy you’re there. Most likely, you were thinking about something else. ―Everyone does this from time to time,‖ says Zelinski. The best thing to do is to return to whe re you were before entering the room, and you’ll likely remember.66. Why does the author think that encoding properly is very important?A) It helps us understand our memory system better.B) It enables us to recall something form our memory.C) It expands our memory capacity considerably.D) It slows down the process of losing our memory.67. One possible reason why women have better memories than men is that ________.A) they have a wider range of interestsB) they are more reliant on the environmentC) they have an unusual power of focusing their attentionD) they are more interested in what’s happening around them68. A note in the pocket can hardly serve as a reminder because ________.A) it will easily get lostB) it’s not clear enough for you to readC) it’s out of your sightD) it might get mixed up with other things69. What do we learn from the last paragraph?A) If we focus our attention on one thing, we might forget another.B) Memory depends to a certain extent on the environment.C) Repetition helps improve our memory.D) If we keep forgetting things, we’d better return to where we were.70. What is the passage mainly about?A) The process of gradual memory loss.B) The causes of absent-mindedness.C) The impact of the environment on memory.D) A way if encoding and recalling.Passage 3After the violent earthquake that shook Los Angeles in 1994, earthquake scientists had good news to report: The damage and death toll (死亡人数) could have been much worse.More than 60 people died in this earthquake. By comparison, as earthquake of similar intensity that shook America in 1988 claimed 25,000 victims.Injuries and deaths were relatively less in Los Angeles because the quake occurred at 4:31 a.m. on a holiday, when traffic was light on the city’s highway s. In addition, changes made to the construction codes in Los Angeles during the last 20 years have strengthened the city’s buildings and highways,making them more resistant to quakes.Despite the good news, civil engineers aren’t resting on their successes. Pinned to their drawing boards are blueprints (蓝图) for improved quake-resistant buildings. The new designs should offer even greater security to cities where earthquakes often take place.In the past, making structures quake-resistant meant firm yet flexible materials, such as steel and wood, that bend without breaking. Later, people tried to lift a building off its foundation, and insert rubber and steel between the building and its foundation to reduce the impact of ground vibrations. The most recent designs give buildings brains as well as concrete and steel supports. Called smart buildings, the structures respond like living organisms to an earthquake’s vibrations. When the ground shakes and the building tips forward, the computer would force the building to shift in the opposite direction.The new smart structures could be very expensive to build. However, they would save many lives and would be less likely to be damaged during earthquakes.71. One reason why the loss of lives in the Los Angeles earthquake was comparatively low is that ________.A) new computers had been installed in the buildingsB) it occurred in the residential areas rather than on the highwaysC) large numbers of Los Angeles residents had gone for a holidayD) improvements had been made in the construction of buildings and highways72. The function of the computer mentioned in the passage is to ________.A) counterbalance an earthquake’s action on the buildingB) predict the coming of an earthquake with accuracyC) help strengthen the foundation of the buildingD) measure the impact of an earthquake’s vibrations73. The smart buildings discussed in the passage ________.A) would cause serious financial problemsB) would be worthwhile though costlyC) would increase the complexity of architectural designD) can reduce the ground vibrations caused by earthquakes74. It can be inferred from the passage that in minimizing the damage caused by earthquakes attention should be focused on ________.A) the increasing use of rubber and steel in capital constructionB) the development of flexible building materialsC) the reduction of the impact of ground vibrationsD) early forecasts of earthquakes75. The author’s main purp ose in writing the passage is to ________.A) compare the consequences of the earthquakes that occurred in the U.S.B) encourage civil engineers to make more extensive use of computersC) outline the history of the development of quake-resistant building materialsD) report new developments in constructing quake-resistant buildingsPassage 4The fitness movement that began in the late 1960s and early 1970s centered around aerobic exercise (有氧操). Millions ofindividuals became engaged in a variety of aerobic activities, and literally thousands of health spas developed around the country to capitalize (获利) on this emerging interest in fitness, particularly aerobic dancing for females. A number of fitness spas existed prior to this aerobic fitness movement, even a national chain with spas in most major cities. However, their focus was not on aerobics, but rather on weight-training programs designed to develop muscular mass, strength, and endurance in their primarily male enthusiasts. These fitness spas did not seem to benefit financially form the aerobic fitness movement to better health, since medical opinion suggested that weight-training programs offered few, if any, health benefits.

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 mark the corresponding letter on Answer Sheet .Passage 1Having finished her homework, Ma Li wants some music for relaxation①. As usual, she starts her computer and goes to to download music files. But this time she is surprised when an announcement about protecting songs’ copyright bursts onto the screen. The age of free music and movie downloads may have come to an end as Web companies like Baidu are accused of pirating copyright. Lawsuits have been filed against four websites offering free downloads. In September 2005, a Beijing court ordered Baidu to pay recording company Shanghai Push compensation for their losses. Baidu was also told to block the links to the pirated music on the website. This caused a heated discussion on Interact file sharing.“Baidu’s defeat in the lawsuit shows it is not right to get copyrighted songs without paying. Downloaders may face lawsuits or fines,” said an official.Like many teens, Huang Ruoru, an 18-year-old girl from Puning in Guangdong Province, doesn’t think that getting music from websites is wrong. She always shares her favourite songs downloaded from Baidu with her friends. When told about the lawsuit, she began to feel a little guilty about obtaining others’ work without paying.However, other teenagers have different ideas. Wang Yafei, a Senior 2 girl from Jinan, Shandong Province pointed out that file sharing is a good way to promote pop singers. “If I download a song and really like it, I will buy the CD,” she said. “So what the recording companies really should concentrate on is improving their music, rather than pursuing file-sharers.”61. Which of the following best describes the passage?A. Music on the Internet is of better quality.B. Downloading material can be illegal.C. It’s good to get free music on the Internet.D.

From his coat he withdrew a make-up kit, a lipstick and two tubes of toothpaste.“I’m disappointed in you, Alfred!” said the little gray-haired man.“Sorry, sir. Please forgive me. It’s the first time I’ve ever done such a thing,” Alfred lied, hoping to gain the old man’s sympathy.Mr Carr’s brow furrowed as he reached for the phone, “Do you take me for a fool? Let’s see what the police have to say. But first I’ll call your mother and let her know her son is heading to jail.”“Do whatever you want,” Alfred shot back, trying to sound big. But deep down he felt like a child. He imagined his mother rushing in, eyes burning with anger, maybe in tears. Yet he wanted her to come quickly before Mr. Carr called the police.Mr. Carr was surprised when Mrs Higgins finally arrived. She was very calm, quiet and friendly. “Is Alfred in trouble?” she asked.“He’s been stealing from the store,” the old man coolly replied.Mrs. Higgins put out her hand and touched Mr. Carr’s arm with great gentleness as if she knew just how he felt. She spoke as if she did not want to cause him any more trouble. “What do you want to do, Mr. Carr?”The woman’s calm and gentle manner disarmed the once-angry store-owner. “I was going to get a cop. But I don’t want to be cruel. Tell your son not to come back here again, and I’ll let it go.” Then he warmly shook Mrs. Higgins’s hand.Mrs. Higgins thanked the old man for his kindness, then mother and son left. They walked along the street in silence. When they arrived home his mother simply said, “Go to bed, you fool.”In his bedroom, Alfred heard his mother in the kitchen. He felt no shame, only pride in his mother’s actions. “She was smooth!” he thought. He went to the kitchen to tell her how great she was, but was shocked by what he saw.His mother’s face looked frightened, broken. Not the cool, bright face he saw earli er. Her lips moved nervously. She looked very old. There were tears in her eyes.This picture of his mother made him want to cry. He felt his youth ending. He saw all the troubles he brought her and the deep lines of worry in her grey face. It seemed to him that this was the first time he had ever really seen his mother.71.．Which of the following is true according to the passage?A．Alfred tried to sound big to hide his fear.B．It was the first time Alfred had stolen anything.C．Mr. Carr set a trap to catch Alfred stealing.D．Mr. Carr had planned to forgive Alfred from the beginning.72.．What does the underlined word “disarmed” probably mean?A．annoyed B．convinced C．got over D．made less angry 73.．What impressed Alfred most about his mother at the drugstore was ______．A．how angry she was B．how effectively she handled Mr．Carr C．that she didn't cry D．that she was able to save him 74.．What was the mother's attitude toward Alfred?A．She was very strict with him．B．She was supportive of him．C．She felt disappointed with him．D．She was afraid of him．75.．From the last paragraph, we know that Alfred ______．A．was no longer a youth B．felt proud of his motherC．felt guilty and regretful for his deed D．wanted his mother to be happyPassage 4Most Americans get what money they have from their work; that is, they earn an income from wages or salaries. The richest Americans, however, get most of their money from what they own — their stocks, bonds, real estate, and other forms of property, or wealth. Although there are few accurate statistics to go by, wealth in American society appears to be concentrated in very few hands. More than 20 percent of everything that can be privately owned is held by less than onepercent of the adult population and more than 75 percent of all wealth is owned by 20 percent of American adults. The plain fact is that most Americans have no wealth at all aside from their homes, automobiles, and a small amount of savings.Income in the United States is not as highly concentrated as wealth. In 1917 the richest 10 percent of American families received 26.1 percent of all income, while the poorest 10 percent received 17 percent, mainly from Social Security and other government payments. The most striking aspect of income distribution is that it has not changed significantly since the end of World War II. Although economic growth has roughly doubled real disposable (可自由使用的) family income (the money left after taxes and adjusted for inflation) over the last generation, the size of the shares given to the rich and the poor is about the same. By any measure economic inequality is great in the United States.The reality behind these statistics is that a large number of Americans are poor. In 1918, 14 percent of the populati on was living below the federal government’s poverty line, which at that time was an annual income of $ 9 287 for a nonfarm family of two adults and two children. In other words, about one out of seven Americans over 31 million people was officially considered unable to buy the basic necessities of food, clothes, and shelter. The suggested poverty line in 1981 would have been an income of about $11, 200 for a family of four. By this relative definition, about 20 percent of the population or more than 45 million Americans are poor.76．What does the majority of the Americans have in terms of wealth?A．Their income and savings. B．Their house, cars and small amounts of savings.C．Everything they own in their homes. D．Actually, they have no wealth at all. 77．What is the percentage of wealth that is in the hands of most Americans?A．Less than 25%. B．More than 25%. C．More than 75%. D．Less than 20%. 78．Why is economic inequality still great in the US in spite of the economic growth?A．Because the economic growth has widened the gap of the family income between the rich and the poor.B．Because income in the US is still concentrated in the hands of the richest 10% of American families.C．Because the proportion of income received by the rich and the poor remains almost the same as in 1917.D．Because some Americans made great fortunes during the Second World War.79．What can we learn from comparison of the two poverty lines in the last paragraph?A. The poverty line of 1918 is more favorable to the poor than that of 1981.B. T he 1981 line didn’t leave much to the poor.C. There were more Americans who were officially poor by the 1918 line.D. There were more Americans who were officially poor by the 1981 line.80．From the last two sentences we can see that 1981 government’s poverty line _______.A．was of no good for the poor B．was officially approvedC．was not helpful to the poor D．was not put into operation thenPart IV Translation (2×10)汉译英81、我建议你做功课先复习一下课文,这样你可以避免犯许多错误。
