Write an outline.20%Read the following passage carefully and then write a “ sentence outline ” or a “ topic outline ” for it.Ice Cream1The history of ice cream is a mystery. No one knows exactly how and when people began to eat it. There is one story that the Roman Emperor Nero(A.D.37-68) sent slaves to the mountains to bring back snow. The snow was served to him sweetened with honey and fruit pulp. Marco Polo(1254-1324) tasted flavored ices, too, during his famous travels in the Far East. He brought the recipes back to Italy.Recipes for ices spread from Italy to the rest of Europe in the 1500’ s. the chefs of kings constantly experimented with new combinations to please their masters, and at some point cream and butter were added to the recipes for ices. The new dish was called cream ice. Cream ice,molded into amusing shapes, began to be served on the tables of kings across Europe. Louis XII(1638-1715) surprised his court with a dessert of eggs in cups of silver and gilt. The eggs, of course, were really cream ice.Gradually cream ice took the name it has today. One of the earliest advertisements for ice cream was put in a New York paper in 1786. The ad announced that “ Ladies and gentlemen may be supplied with ice cream every day at the City Tavern by their humble servant, Joseph Crowe. ” But ice cream was still not an everyday event. It was usually presented in fancy shapes at the end of dinner parties. Dolley Madison (1768-1849) was famous for her imaginative dinners, and she was the first to serve ice cream at the White House. When her guests came into the dining room, they found a table covered with delicious dishes, and in the center of the table, a huge mound of pink ice cream on a silver platter.Ice cream was such a delicacy because it was so hard to make. At first it was beaten and then shaken by hand in a pan of salt and ice until it became firm. A freezer that was cranked by hand was developed around 1846. Making ice cream was still a chore, but cranking the freezer was much easier and faster than shaking the mixture in a pan.“ Ice-cream socials ” became a popular way to entertain friends. Everyone helped turn the crank of the freezer, and homemade peach or strawberry ice cream was the reward. The development of the continuous freezer in the 1920 ’s made the manufacture of ice cream very quick and economical. It soon was easier to buy packaged ice cream than to make it at home. Eskimo pies and Popsicles began to be sold at the same time.Possibly ice-cream cones began with the World ’s Fair in 1893. V endors there sold Fried Ice Cream. The ice cream was covered with a fritter batter and then quickly dipped in very hot lard or olive oil. Putting the ice cream in an already prepared cone was the next step.

(本大题共1 0小题，每小题2分，共20分)Passage OneThe Great Fire of London started in the very early hours of September 1666. In four days it destroyed more than three-quarters of the old city, where most of the houses were wooden and close together. One hundred thousand people became homeless, but only a few lost their lives.The fire started on Sunday morning in the house of the King’s baker(面包师) in Pudding Lane. The baker, with his wife and family, was able to get out through a window in the roof. A strong wind blew the fire from the bakery (面包房) into a small hotel next door. Then it spread quickly into Thames Street. That was the eginning.By eight o’clock three hundred houses were on fire. On Monday nearly a kilometer of the city was burning along the River Thames. Tuesday was the worst day. The fire destroyed many well-known buildings, old St Paul’s and the Guildhall were among them.Samuel Pepys, the famous writer, wrote about the fire. People threw their things into the river. Many poor people stayed in their houses until the last moment. Birds fell out of the air because of the heat.The fire stopped only when the King finally ordered people to destroy hundreds of buildings in the paths of the fire. With nothing left to burn , the fire became weak and finally died out.After the fire, Christopher Wren ,the architect , wanted a city with wider streets and fine new houses of stone. In fact, the streets are still narrow, but he did build more than fifty churches, and the new St Paul’s is among them.The fire caused great pain and loss, but after it London wasa better place : a city for the future and not just of the past.21. The fire began in ____.A. a hotelB. the palaceC. Pudding LaneD. Thames Street22. The underlined word “family” in the second paragraph means _____.A. homeB. childrenC. wife and husbandD. wife and children23. It seems that the writer of the text was most sorry for the fact that______.A. some people lost their livesB. the birds in the sky were killed by the fireC. many famous buildings were destroyedD. the King’s bakery was burned down24. Why did the writer cite (引用)Samuel Pepys ?A. Because Pepys was among those putting out the fire.B. Because Pepys also wrote about the fire.C. To show that poor people suffered most.D. To give the reader a clearer picture of the fire.25. How was the fire put out according to the text?A. The King and his soldiers came to help.B. All the wooden houses in the city were destroyed.C. People managed to get enough water from the river.D. Houses standing in the direction of the fire were pulled down.Passage TwoMany people who work in London prefer to live outside of it and to go into their offices or schools every day by train, car or bus, even though this means they have to get up early in the morning and reach home late in the evening.One advantage of living outside London is that houses are cheaper. Even a small flat in London without a garden costs quite a lot to rent. With the same money, one can get a little house in the country with a garden of one’s own.Then, in the country one can rest from the noise and hurry of the town. Even though one has to get up earlier and spend more time in trains or buses, one can sleep better at night and during weekends and on summer evenings. One can enjoy the fresh, clean air of the country. If one likes gardens, one can spend one’s fr ee time digging, planting, watering and doing the hundred and one other jobs which are needed in a garden. Then, when the flowers and vegetables come up, one has the reward( 回报,奖赏) of one who has shared the secret of Nature.Some people, however, take no interest in country things: for them, happiness lies in the town, with its cinemas and theatres, beautiful shops and busy streets, dance-halls and restaurants. Such people would feel that their life was not worth living if they had to live it outside London. An occasional (偶尔的) walk in one of the parks and a fortnight’s (two weeks) visit to the sea every summer is all the country they want: the rest they are quite prepared to leave to those who are glad to get away from London every night.26. Which of the following statements is NOT true?A. People who like country things prefer to live outside the city.B. People who work in London prefer to live in the country.C. Because of certain disadvantages of living outside London, some people who work in London prefer to live inside London.D. Because of certain advantages of living outside London, many people who work in London prefer to live outside London.27. One can use the same money for _____ to buy a little house with a garden in the country.A. getting a small flat with a gardenB. having a small flat with a gardenC. renting a small flat without a gardenD. buying a small flat without a garden28. When the flowers and vegetables in the garden come up, those ____ have the reward of one who has shared the secret of Nature.A. who live in the countryB. who have spent time working in the gardenC. who have a garden of their ownD. who have been digging, planting and watering29.People who think happiness lies in the town would feel that ____ if they had to live it outside London.A. their life was meaninglessB. their life was invaluableC. they didn’tdeserve a happy lifeD. they were not worthy of their happy life30. The underlined word “rest” in the last paragraph refers to _____.A. the rest timeB. the rest peopleC. the rest of the countryD. the rest of the parks and of the sea。

We are facing today a strange newworld and we are all wondering what we are going to do with it. What are we going to do withone of our most precious possessions, freedom? The world we know, our Western world,began with something as new as the conquest of space.(2) Some 2,500 years ago Greece discovered freedom. Before that there was no freedom. Therewere great civilizations, splendid empires, but no freedom anywhere. Egypt, Babylon, Nineveh,3…………………………………………………………精品自学考试资料推荐………………………………………………were all tyrannies, one immensely powerful man ruling over helpless masses. In Greece, inAthens, a little city in a little country, there were no helpless masses, and a time came whenthe Athenians were led by a great man who did not want to be powerful. Absolute obedience tothe ruler was what the leaders of the empires insisted on. Athens said no, there must never beabsolute obedience to a man except in war. There must be willing obedience to what is goodfor all. Pericles, the great Athenian statesman, said: “We are a free government, but we obeythe laws, more especially those which protect the oppressed, and the unwritten laws which, if broken, bring shame.”(3) Athenians willingly obeyed the written laws which theythemselves passed, and the unwritten, which must be obeyed if free men live together. They must show each other kindness and pityand the many qualities without which life would be intolerable except to a hermit in the desert.The Athenians never thought that a man was free if he could do what he wanted. A man wasfree if he was self-controlled. To make yourself obey what you approved was freedom. Theywere saved from looking at their lives as their own private affair. Each one felt responsible forthe welfare of Athens, not because it was imposed on him from the outside, but because thecity was his pride and his safety. The creed of the first free government in the world wasliberty for all men who could control themselves and would take responsibility for the state.This was the conception that underlay the lofty reach of Greek genius.(4) But discovering freedom is not like discovering atomic bombs. It cannot be discovered oncefor all. If people do not prize it, and work for it, it will depart. Eternal vigilance is its price.Athens changed. It was a change that took place unnoticed though it was of the utmostimportance, a spiritual change which penetrated the whole state. It had been the Athenians'pride and joy to give to their city. That they could get material benefits from her never enteredtheir minds. There had to be a complete change of attitudebefore they could look at the city asan employer who paid her citizens for doing her work. Now instead of men giving to theirstate, the state was to give to them. What the people wanted was a government which wouldprovide a comfortable life for them; and with this as the foremost object, ideas of freedom andself-reliance and responsibility were obscured to the point of disappearing. Athens was moreand more looked on as a cooperative business possessed of great wealth in which all citizenshad a right to share.(5) She reached the point when the freedom she really wanted was freedom from responsibility.There could be only one result. If men insisted on being free from the burden ofself-dependence and responsibility for the common good, they would cease to be free. Responsibility is the price every man must pay for freedom. It is to be had on no other terms. Athens, the Athens of Ancient Greece, refused responsibility, she reached the end of freedomand was never to have it again.(6) But, “the excellent becomes the permanent,”Aristotle said. Athens lost freedom forever, but freedom was not lost forever for the world. A great American statesman, James Madison, in or4…………………………………………………………精品自学考试资料推荐………………………………………………near the year 1776 A.D. referred to “the capacity of mankindfor self-government”. No doubthe had not an idea that he was speaking Greek. Athens was not in the farthest background ofhis mind, but once a great and good idea has dawned upon man, it is never completely lost.The Atomic Age cannot destroy it. Somehow in this or that man's thought such an idea livesthough unconsidered by the world of action. One can never be sure that it is not on the point of breaking out into action, only sure that it will do so sometime.Ⅳ.

2020年1月全国自学考试试题及答案解析英语阅读(二)试卷及答案解析

全国2018年1月高等教育自学考试英语阅读（二）试题课程代码：00596I. Reading Comprehension. (50 points, 2 points for each)Directions: In this part of the test, there are five passages. Following each passage, there are five questions with four choices marked A, B, C and D. Choose the best answer and then write the corresponding letter on your Answer Sheet.Two decades ago, the channels that separate the Adriatic Islands were brimming with giant blue-fin tuna, a species so plentiful that tourists used to climb ladders by the sea to watch the schools swim by.Today, these majestic predators are rarely, if ever, caught. The catches have dropped by 80 percent over the past few years, even for high-tech trawlers that now comb remote corners of the sea in search of the hard-to-find fish.“This is past the alarm stage,”said Simon Cripps, director of the global marine program at the World Wildlife Fund. “We are seeing a complete collapse of the tuna population. It could disappear and never come back.”The group is urging the European Union to impose an immediate fishing moratorium until the international body that regulates tuna catches meets in Dubrovnik, Croatia, in November.Many edible fish stocks in the Mediterranean and its extension, the Adriatic, have sharply declined in the past decade because of pollution and intensive fishing, including crayfish and John Dory, according to the United Nations Food and Agriculture Organization. In Croatia, much of the fish eaten at seaside resorts is imported from as far away as the United States.But it is the blue-fin tuna that is in crisis, thanks to a new and lucrative European network of fishing and fish farming companies that provide the prized fish to sushi and sashimi markets in Japan. With tuna prices going as high as $15 a pound in Tokyo, European trawlers fish for tuna aggressively and illegally, far exceeding international quotas meant to protect the species, scientists said. Compounding the problem is the recent development of tuna fattening farms in Croatia, Spain, Turkey and other Mediterranean countries.1Now, even small juvenile tuna, captured in the few corners of the Mediterranean where the species still breeds or even from the Atlantic, can be brought to the vast underwater cages that line the Croatian coast, where they are fed for months or years until they are ready for market. And so, though few tuna are in Croatia’s seas and none are in its restaurants, tuna is one of this country’s most lucrative food exports. One hundred percent of Croatia’s tuna is farm-fattened, ending up as toro—precious, fatty raw tuna.Questions 1-5 are based on Passage One.1. In the second paragraph, “these majestic predators”refer to ______.A. big fishB. blue-fin tunaC. crayfishD. fish that eat other fishes2. Blue-fin tuna is in crisis because ______.A. fishing companies catch the fish to-excess for moneyB. it takes a long time for small tuna to grow upC. there is no law to protect this speciesD. the natural environment worsens3. Which of the following statements is true?A. Tuna is a typical dish on Croatian dinner table.B. Europe consumes most of the tuna Croatia exports.C. There are large amounts of tuna in the Mediterranean area.D. Small tuna are kept at the Croatia’s coast and fed to be sold.4. The author points out that ______.A. intensive fishing causes sharp decline of the fish stockB. it is quite difficult to catch tuna in the Mediterranean seasC. Croatia doesn’t really need to import fishD. tuna is the most expensive fish on market5. “One hundred percent of Croatia’s tuna is farm-fattened”. This means that Croatia’s tuna are ______.A. fed and fattened by cropsB. of first class qualityC. kept and fed to larger sizeD. very fat2Passage TwoA college education can be very costly in the United States, especially at a private school. Rising costs have led more and more families to borrow money to help pay for college.There are different federal loans and private loans for students and parents. Interest rates on some of these loans will go up on July 1st. As borrowing has increased, there are growing concerns that many students graduate with too much debt. In 1993, less than one-half of graduates from four-year colleges had student loans. Now two-thirds of them do. Their average loan debt when they graduate is nineteen thousand dollars. At public universities, the average is seventeen thousand dollars.The Project on Student Debt is an action group that collects these numbers from reports. It notes that averages do not present the full picture. For example, in 2004, one-fourth of students with loans graduated more than twenty-five thousand dollars in debt. And that did not include borrowing by their parents. The Project on Student Debt says parents as well as students are borrowing more to pay for college. Students can expect to take about ten years to pay back their loans. Repayment does not begin until after they are out of school.Higher borrowing limits have also helped push up student debts. Students from all economic levels are borrowing more. Corrected for inflation, student loans have increased around sixty percent in ten years.Researchers say one effect is that the higher the debts, the more likely graduates are to look only for high paying jobs. That means there is less chance they will take jobs in areas like teaching or other public service. A study done in 2002 for a major student lender found that debts can also affect lives in other ways. Some students paying back their college loans said they delayed buying their first house. Some delayed marriage or having children.In May, groups representing students, parents and college officials asked the government to change some of its loan repayment rules. The requested changes would recognize graduates who have difficulty repaying their loans because they do not earn very much. They would be able to pay less fight after they graduate, then pay more as their earnings increase.Questions 6-10 are based on Passage Two.6. According to the passage, one may expect that young people graduate with a debt may ______.3A. be looked down upon by othersB. never be able to get rid of itC. avoid starting a family very earlyD. not have to repay all their debts7. Which of the following is NOT true about student loans?A. Higher tuition fees give rise to student loan.B. Students from well-off families don’t borrow money.C. Higher borrowing limits allow students to loan more money.D. It may take quite a long time for graduates to repay their debts.8. Groups representing students, parents and college officials appealed to the government to ______.A. raise graduates’ pay at workB. provide more loan options for studentsC. cut down the amount that students have to repayD. allow graduates to gradually increase their repayment9. The passage is a(n) ______.A. statement of factsB. argument against high student loansC. comment on a controversial issueD. suggestion about student loans10. Which can be the best title for the passage?A. Costly Education, Heavier BurdenB. Fresh out of College, and in DebtC. Efforts to Finance College EducationD. Graduates Expect Lower RepaymentPassage ThreeOn the New York Mercantile Exchange, oil prices broke the record of $76.70 a barrel set just Thursday. The new price of oil for delivery in August shot to $77.95 before finishing the day at $77.03.While $80-a-barrel oil seemed like a skeptic’s worst-case outlook a few months ago, oil traders are increasingly saying that it is now just a matter of time before prices cross that threshold. Oil futures contracts for delivery beyond this summer passed $80 a barrel for the first time on Thursday.4“The feeling is that we’re in a fairly bullish market right now,”said Antoine Halff, head of research at Fimat. “Gasoline demand over the last few weeks has been very robust. Perhaps the bigger issue on top of that is geopolitics. And clearly the market is very jittery about what’s going on in Israel.”Oil markets are typically sensitive to any political instability in the Middle East. Recently, they have been unsettled by Israeli military incursions into Gaza and then, this week, Lebanon. So, a market already worried about the potential for conflict with Iran and North Korea over their nuclear programs is growing even more anxious. William Rhodes, chief investment strategist at Rhodes Analytics, said, “People are scared, that’s the bottom line.”The Commerce Department said that retail sales fell by 0.1 percent in June, seasonally adjusted, the first drop since February. A University of Michigan survey that showed falling consumer confidence was one of the reasons.How resilient consumer spending proves to be is something that will continue to factor heavily into stock performance. Most economists believe that consumers will curb their spending somewhat as the year goes on, and economic growth is expected to slow. But there is disagreement over how much spending will slow.“The persistence of high gasoline prices, coupled with lower equity prices and lower consumer sentiment, will restrain the growth of real consumer spending in the second half of 2006,”Brian Bethune, an analyst with Global Insight, wrote yesterday in a report about the retail sales numbers. But many analysts noted that the month’s decline in retail sales was exaggerat ed by poor car sales, and said that consumers were likely to keep shopping for other goods.Even though the market swooned this week, analysts said that there were no signs yet that the drop was part of a larger unraveling of the economy.Questions 11-15 are based on Passage Three.11. According to the passage, which is NOT one of the factors that cause the oil price to rise?A. There is a large market demand.B. There is a shortage of oil reserve.C. Political situation is instable in the Middle East.D. Consumers worry about the high rise of oil price.12. It can be inferred from the passage that ______.5A. political instability strongly influences oil marketB. price of oil for delivery has already hit $80 a barrelC. oil market is bullish because more people are buying carsD. economy will be seriously affected by the rising oil price13. By “bottom line”, William Rhodes means ______.A. oil is sold at $76.70 a barrelB. oil is sold at $80 a barrelC. oil retail price gradually goes downD. people fear for worse political situation14. The passage indicates that retail sales dropped, because ______.A. gasoline price was highB. dollar value increasedC. people wanted to protect the environmentD. there was not enough stock of gasoline on market15. The author’s tone is ______.A. worriedB. negativeC. objectiveD. cautiousPassage FourAbout 60 million Americans regularly suffer from insomnia, either because they are taking medication, or experiencing pain, or not eating right. Or — according to Russell Rosenberg, who directs the Sleep Medicine Institute in Atlanta, Georgia — simply because they are living in the modern world.“It’s a 24/7 society now. That is, you have Internet 24 [hours], 7 [days a week], television, radio. Everything can keep you distracted from the time you need to sleep. Plus, people are working harder, working more jobs, trying to squeeze in more family-time, more leisure-time and so forth, and so there’s only so much time to do all the things we want to do in one particular day.”According to an annual poll conducted by the National Sleep Foundation, in 2005, 75 percent of Americans experienced sleeping problems ranging from minor and transient to severe6and chronic. That is up from 62 percent in 1999, when the NSF first conducted its poll.The number of Americans turning to prescription sleep aids for help has gone up even more dramatically: nearly 60 percent over the past five years. American pharmacists filled about 42 million sleeping pill prescriptions last year, and most of them were for either Ambien or Lunesta, two recent additions to the sleep aid market.These drugs are not believed to be habit-forming, and they don’t seem to have the same liver-damaging side-effects that earlier sleep aids had. At the same time, there is some evidence that these new sleeping pills may not be completely harmless.Sleep experts also recommend their patients with what is known as “cognitive behavioral therapy,”or CBT. It is a form of psychotherapy that tries to change the way a patient thinks, feels, and acts about sleep.It doesn’t yield immediate results, though, and in many parts of the country, it is unavailable. There are only about 200 clinicians worldwide who have extensive CBT training in the area of sleep. That is part of the reason prescription drugs have become so popular.But the biggest reason, says Gregg Jacobs, an assistant professor of psychiatry at Harvard Medical School, is marketing. “You’ll see their ads every night on television now. They’re the most frequent drug ads on TV. As a result, people around the United States —and soon around the world —are being given the message that you can take a sleeping pill, and it will cure your insomnia. And when people hear that, they rush out to buy this pill.”Questions 16-20 are based on Passage Four.16. Which is the topic of the passage?A. Cures for insomnia.B. Drug companies’ strategies.C. Harms caused by sleeping pills.D. Sleeping problem in the US.17. According to the passage, Ambien and Lunesta are ______.A. sleeping clinicsB. sleep expertsC. sleeping pillsD. symptoms of insomnia18. According to the passage, people who take the new sleeping pills may ______.A. feel sleepy during working hoursB. experience some side-effectsC. develop the habit to eat themD. suffer some liver problem719. Which is implied, but not stated, in the passage?A. In the past, people used to sleep better.B. 75% of Americans had sleeping problem in 2005.C. Some new sleeping pills may not be totally harmless.D. The modern life style is blamed for sleeping problems.20. Sleeping pills are used more often than CBT to combat insomnia for the following reasons EXCEPT ______.A. CBT doesn’t show quick results as sleeping pillsB. drug ads influence people in their choiceC. CBT is too new an idea for patients to acceptD. CBT cannot be found in many parts of the USPassage FiveFarmers in the Midwest put in some of the longest workdays of any profession in the United States. In addition to caring for their crops and livestock, they have to keep up with new farming techniques, such as those for combining soil erosion and increasing livestock production. It is essential that farmers adopt these advances in technology if they want to continue to meet the growing demand of a hungry world.Agriculture is the number one industry in the United States and agricultural products are the country’s leading export. American farmers manage to feed not only the total population of the United States, but also millions of other people throughout the rest of the world. Corn and soybean exports alone account for approximately 75% of the amount sold in world market.This productivity, however, has its price. Intensive cultivation exposes the earth to the damaging forces of nature. Ever y year wind and water remove tons of rich soil from the nation’s croplands, with the result that soil erosion has become a national problem concerning everyone from the farmer to the consumer.Each field is covered by a limited amount of topsoil, the upper layer of earth which is the richest in the nutrient and minerals necessary for growing crops. Ever since the first farmers arrived in the Midwest almost 200 years ago, cultivation and, consequently, erosion have been depleting the supply of topsoil. In the 1830s, nearly two feet of rich, black topsoil covered the8Midwest. Today the average depth is only eight inches, and every decade another inch is blown or washed away. This erosion is steadily decreasing the productivity of valuable cropland. A United States Agricultural Department survey states that if erosion continues at its present rate, corn and soybean yields in the Midwest may drop as much as 30% over the next 50 years.So far, farmers have been able to compensate for the loss of fertile topsoil by applying more chemical fertilizers to their fields; however, while this practice has increased crop yields, it has been devastating for ecology. Agriculture has become one of the biggest polluters on the nation’s precious water supply. Rivers, lakes, and underground reserves of water are being filled in and poisoned by soil and chemicals carried by the drainage from eroding fields. Furthermore, fertilizers only replenish the soil; they do not prevent its loss.Clearly something else has to be done in order to avoid an eventual ecological disaster. Conservationists insist that the solution to this problem lies in new and better farming techniques. Concerned farmers are building terraces on hilly fields, rotating their crops, and using new plowing methods to cut soil loss significantly. Substantial progress has been made, but soil erosion is far from being under control.Questions 21-25 are based on Passage Five.21. Which of the following is NOT true?A. Farmers are the only people who are concerned about soil erosion.B. Farmers in the Midwest lead a very busy life and work long hours.C. Farmers should use advanced techniques to produce more food.D. Farmers in the U.S provide food for the U.S. and other countries.22. Agricultural products of the U.S. ______.A. consist mainly of corn, wheat and soybeansB. enjoy the world reputation for the good qualityC. are the largest source of exports of the countryD. account for about 75% of those sold in world market23. What is the downside of using chemical fertilizers according to the passage?A. It worsens soil erosion.B. It endangers people’s health.C. It poisons the cropsD. It pollutes water supply.924. Which is true about topsoil in Midwest?A. It is the richest in the U.S.B. It is lacking nutrients.C. It is becoming thinner.D. It is ruined by chemicals.25. Farmers can do the following things to prevent soil erosion EXCEPT ______.A. rotating their cropsB. using effective fertilizersC. using new plowing methodsD. building terraces on hilly fieldsII. Vocabulary. (10 points, 1 point for each)Directions: Scan the following passage and find the words which have roughly the same meanings as those given below. The number in the brackets after each word definition refers to the number of paragraph in which the target word is. Write the word you choose on the Answer Sheet.Most of us buy vitamins for one of three reasons. Either we believe that they are prophylactic, that is they will ward off advancing ill, or they are therapeutic and will deal with the ills we have already, or finally we may believe they are wonder drugs and will lift us into a state of super health. We are protected from some of these wild imaginings by the laws which control advertising but even without false promises we still believe that vitamins will “do us good”.Belief is a very potent state of mind and the power of the placebo pill is never underestimated in clinical trials used to test new drugs. A placebo is a harmless substance given to one group of patients in the trial and it is similar in taste and appearance to a new drug which is given to a second group of patients. Theoretically the drug should cure or relieve any symptoms and the placebo should have no effect. Often these trials produce surprising results and the placebo group recovers as well as the group taking the new drug.Vitamins B and C cannot be retained in the body, so if we take more than we need of these, they are soon excreted in the urine. Taking too much of the fat soluble vitamins can be dangerous and vitamins A and D should never be taken indiscriminately. Vitamin E has not been found to have any toxic effect in large doses, but neither do there seem to be any noticeable benefits. This is an unexplored area in vitamin research and the only known advantages of vitamin E are confined to specialized medical cases.26. to prevent something from harming you (Para. 1)1027. very good and effective (Para. 1)28. situations or ideas that are not real or true (Para. 1)29. having a powerful effect on your body or mind (Para.2)30. a series of testing to find out whether something works (Para.2)31. to make a pain or problem less severe (Para.2)32. gets well after an illness, accident, shock (Para.2)33. not thinking carefully before making a choice (Para.3)34. poisoning (Para.3)35. examples of particular situations, problems (Para.3)III. Summarization. (20 points, 2 points for each)Directions: In this section of the test, there are ten paragraphs. Each of the paragraphs is followed by an incomplete phrase or sentence which summarizes the main idea of the paragraph. Spell out the missing letters of the word on your Answer Sheet.Paragraph OneBetween 1979 and 1999, extremely hot weather killed more than 8000 people in the US. In that period, more Americans died from extreme heat than from severe storms, lightning, floods and earthquakes together.36. Extreme heat was the top killer among several n______ threats.Paragraph TwoThe body itself is mostly water —more than 65% water. Water in blood carries hormones and antibodies through the body. Water in urine carries away waste materials. Water is also needed for cooling the body on hot days, carrying body heat to the surface of the skin.37. Water is essential to h______.Paragraph ThreeDevelopment aid has increased since 2002. Still, the report says severe poverty continues to worsen, in part because of H.I.V./AIDS. Environmental conditions also add to poverty. The report says climate change already affects many low-lying and island nations, and more problems are likely in the years to come.38. Worse poverty situation despite i______ development aid.11Paragraph FourStrong earthquakes forced the bottom of the sea to rise above the water. After millions of years, it was pushed up into the air to form land and mountains. Meanwhile, hot liquid rock from deep in the Earth pushed to the surface. This liquid rock slowly cooled. The then cooling liquid formed a very hard rock known as granite.39. Theory about f______ of land and mountains.Paragraph FiveMany centuries of rain caused huge rivers to move violently through this area. Over time, these rivers cut deep into the new mountains. During the great Ice Age, millions of tons of ice cut and shaped the cooled granite to form giant rocks, known as Half Dome.40. V______ forms of water change the outlook of the area.Paragraph SixCitizens who had formed a military group were the first real modern explorers of the valley. They were at war with the local Indians and came into the valley. The white soldiers called it Yosemites after the Indians.41. White world’s f______ of Yosemites.Paragraph SevenMany young Americans began to challenge some of the traditions of their parents and grandparents. For example, some young women began to experiment with new kinds of clothes. They no longer wore dresses that hid the shape of their bodies. Instead, they wore thinner dresses that uncovered part of their legs.42. Youth defied traditional d______ style.Paragraph EightSupporters say the goal is to get students to think about what they want to do and help them prepare for their future. But some people say the program could make it difficult for students to explore different possibilities, as they are too young to know what they want to do in life.43. For and a______ over a school program.Paragraph NineEducators did not become involved with blogging right away. Many were concerned with12privacy issues and security. But now, thousands of teacher blogs can be found on the Internet. Many teachers do not identify themselves, and they change the names of students and co-workers.44. Many teachers are going for blogs although some w______ about privacy issues. Paragraph TenEmployment of women with babies under one year dropped in the most recent period reported by the Census Bureau. The rate decreased from 59% in 1998 to 55% in 2002. The Census Bureau said this was the first recorded drop since it began to keep these records in 1976.45. F______ women with infants are being employed.IV. Translation. (20 points, 4 points for each)Directions: In the following passage, there are five groups of underlined sentences. Read the passage carefully and translate these sentences into Chinese. Write the Chinese version on your Answer Sheet.It’s believed the Internet was born in 1969 when two computers at the University of California, Los Angeles, were connected by a 15-foot cable, with bits of meaningless data flowing between them. 46. Since then the Net has taken off, with some 137 million U.S. computers online plus another 152 million outside the United States. And while the number of Internet-linked computers is surging, the volume of traffic they are carrying is increasing even faster. Some projections have it doubling every 100 days.47. This is not surprising since a hallmark of the Cyber Age is connectivity and the sharing of information. The assertion that “information is meant to be free”is an increasing reality since it can be moved from those who have it to those who need it in the blink of an eye —and at virtually no cost, unlike for other media. This computer-driven contribution to the vitality of the U.S. economy is immeasurable.Auction sites have been springing up all over the Internet, but the undisputed leader is eBay.48. You simply go to eBay’s Web site, register, post a description of what you have to sell, along with photos and a minimum price, if you like. Bids from interested buyers appear on your computer screen, which is instantly updated as better bids come in. Once the auction ends, the highest bidder is obliged to pay for the item.One of the Internet’s truly great features is that anybody can be a player who has an idea for13a Web site and a few dollars to get it up and running. Possibly the most notorious site of all is the one dreamed up by an 18-year-old dropout from Northeastern University in Boston, Shawn Fanning, nicknamed the “Napster”for his unruly red hair. 49. He created the world’s biggest online free-music community, which allows 38 million popular music lovers to exchange hundreds of recordings, using the Napster system as a search engine to find exactly what they want.Napster has outraged everyone connected with the record business, from artists whose creative work was being hijacked to the Recording Industry Association of America, which bro ught a lawsuit seeking an injunction aimed at ending Napster’s brief, if notorious, life. It now appears, incredibly, that this deadlock may actually be resolved to almost everyone’s satisfaction. Napster users may pay a modest monthly fee, which will be divided up among those creating, producing, and delivering the music. Napster is receiving financial backing from the German media giant Bertelsmann, which is getting a piece of Napster in return. There is a sticking point, however, since it’s now unclear h ow to put a user name and price on every digital music file being downloaded. 50. It’s also unclear if Napster users will pay even a few bucks a month for the service.14。

He began to ______ as the intense cold pervaded the room.A. shakeB. quakeC. jerkD. shiverRead the following passage carefully and complete the succeeding three items III，IV，V. (1) “During the whole of a dull，dark and soundless day in the autumn of the year，when the clouds hung oppressively low in the heavens，I had been passing alone，on horseback，through a singularly dreary tract of country; and at length found myself，as the shades of the evening drew on，within view of the melancholy House of Ushe r.” Thus Edgar Allan Poe opened his story of “The Fall of the House of Usher” in 1839. In this beautifully crafted sentence he captured so much that is essential to the horror story—darkness，ominous solitude，foreboding calm，apprehension and uncertainty，and a deep feeling of melancholy that could soon turn to fear. (2) Many kinds of fiction are self-explanatory: mysteries，westerns，love stories，spy thrillers，and science fiction define themselves by the terms used to name them. The horror story is less easily defined，perhaps because other types of fiction so often use the trappings of terror to enhance their plots. Charles Dickens used the vehicle of an old-fashioned ghost Story to tell “A Christmas Carol”，but that book is not a horror story. Nor does a Grimm brothers fairy tale such as “Hänsel and Gretel，” with its child-devouring witch，belong to the genre.(3) The nature of the horror story is best indicated by the title of the 1990s television series Talesfrom the Dark Side. Human beings have always acknowledged that there is evil in the world and a dark side to human nature that cannot be explained except perhaps in religious terms. This evil may be imagined as having an almost unlimited power to inspire anxiety，fear，dread，and terror in addition to doing actual physical and mental harm.(4) In the tale of horror quite ordinary people are confronted by something unknown and fearful，which can be neither understood nor explained in reasonable terms. It is the emphasis on the unreasonable that lies at the heart of horror stories.(5) This kind of literature arose in the 18th century at the start of a movement called Romanticism. The movement was a reaction against a rational，ordered world in which humanity was basically good and everything could be explained scientifically. The literary type that inspired the horror story is Gothic fiction，tales of evil，often set in sinister medieval surroundings. This original kind of horror fiction has persisted to the present. An early 20th-century master of the type was H.P. Lovecraft，most of whose stories appeared in the magazine Weird Tales. A more recent writer was Stephen King，author of Carrie (1974)，The Shining (1977)，Pet Sematary (1984)，Misery (1987)，and Rose Madder (1995).(6) Much horror literature is grounded in superstition，fear of demons，and the dread of death. No single tale brings all of these elements together so well as the vampire legend，an ancient folk superstition. The vampire is described as undead，an entombed individual who rises each night to feed on the blood of the living. In literature its best representation is Dracula(1897) by Bram Stoker. The legend was retold in Interview with the V ampire (1976) by Anne Rice. The Draculastory was eagerly taken up by Hollywood in the 1931 film that starred Bela Lugosi，and numerous movies on the theme have been made since.(7) Similar to the vampire legend is the story of the wolfman，the human being under a curse who turns into a half man，half wolf presumably when the moon is full. This creature prowls around，devouring animals，people，or corpses，but he returns to human form by day. As with Dracula，the wolfman became a popular subject for movies，beginning with The Werewolf of London (1935) and the wolfman films of the 1940s. According to one superstition the werewolf，after being killed，turns into a vampire.(8) The belief that the dead can return to haunt and harm the living has long been an element of fiction. Ghost stories are at least as old as the Bible: in the Old Testament，King Saul calls up the ghost of Samuel to foretell the outcome of a battle. In Shakespeare’s Hamlet，the ghost of the slain king provides the information from which Hamlet plots revenge for his father’s murder. One of the masters of the modern ghost story was Ambrose Bierce，some of whose stories were collected in Ghost and Horror Stories of Ambrose Bierce (1964). A variation on the ghost theme is the haunted house，about which hundreds of stories have been written.(9) Between the vampires and the ghosts are creatures called the living dead and zombies who return from the grave to devour the living. Hollywood celebrated this story in Night of the Living Dead(1968) and other films. In literature one of the best examples is the intriguing book The Beast with Five Fingers(1928; film version 1946) by W.F. Harvey. It is the story of a severed hand that goes on living after its owner dies. The movie Friday the 13th (1980) and its sequelsalso used the revived corpse as villain. In the 1986 film Trick or Treat，a dead rock music star is called back to life.III. In this section，there are ten incomplete statements or questions，followed by four choices marked A，B，C and D.

We are facing today a strange newworld and we are all wondering what we are going to do with it. What are we going to do withone of our most precious possessions, freedom? The world we know, our Western world,began with something as new as the conquest of space.(2) Some 2,500 years ago Greece discovered freedom. Before that there was no freedom. Therewere great civilizations, splendid empires, but no freedom anywhere. Egypt, Babylon, Nineveh,3…………………………………………………………精品自学考试资料推荐………………………………………………were all tyrannies, one immensely powerful man ruling over helpless masses. In Greece, inAthens, a little city in a little country, there were no helpless masses, and a time came whenthe Athenians were led by a great man who did not want to be powerful. Absolute obedience tothe ruler was what the leaders of the empires insisted on. Athens said no, there must never beabsolute obedience to a man except in war. There must be willing obedience to what is goodfor all. Pericles, the great Athenian statesman, said: “We are a free government, but we obeythe laws, more especially those which protect the oppressed, and the unwritten laws which, if broken, bring shame.”(3) Athenians willingly obeyed the written laws which they themselves passed, and the unwritten, which must be obeyed if free men live together. They must show each other kindness and pityand the many qualities without which life would be intolerable except to a hermit in the desert.The Athenians never thought that a man was free if he could do what he wanted. A man wasfree if he was self-controlled. To make yourself obey what you approved was freedom. Theywere saved from looking at their lives as their own private affair. Each one felt responsible forthe welfare of Athens, not because it was imposed on him from the outside, but because thecity was his pride and his safety. The creed of the first free government in the world wasliberty for all men who could control themselves and would take responsibility for the state.This was the conception that underlay the lofty reach of Greek genius.(4) But discovering freedom is not like discovering atomic bombs. It cannot be discovered oncefor all. If people do not prize it, and work for it, it will depart. Eternal vigilance is its price.Athens changed. It was a change that took place unnoticed though it was of the utmostimportance, a spiritual change which penetrated the whole state. It had been the Athenians'pride and joy to give to their city. That they could get material benefits from her never enteredtheir minds. There had to be a complete change of attitude before they could look at the city asan employer who paid her citizens for doing her work. Now instead of men giving to theirstate, the state was to give to them. What the people wanted was a government which wouldprovide a comfortable life for them; and with this as the foremost object, ideas of freedom andself-reliance and responsibility were obscured to the point of disappearing. Athens was moreand more looked on as a cooperative business possessed of great wealth in which all citizenshad a right to share.(5) She reached the point when the freedom she really wanted was freedom from responsibility.There could be only one result. If men insisted on being free from the burden ofself-dependence and responsibility for the common good, they would cease to be free. Responsibility is the price every man must pay for freedom. It is to be had on no other terms. Athens, the Athens of Ancient Greece, refused responsibility, she reached the end of freedomand was never to have it again.(6) But, “the excellent becomes the permanent,”Aristotle said. Athens lost freedom forever, but freedom was not lost forever for the world. A great American statesman, James Madison, in or4…………………………………………………………精品自学考试资料推荐………………………………………………near the year 1776 A.D. referred to “the capacity of mankind for self-government”. No doubthe had not an idea that he was speaking Greek. Athens was not in the farthest background ofhis mind, but once a great and good idea has dawned upon man, it is never completely lost.The Atomic Age cannot destroy it. Somehow in this or that man's thought such an idea livesthough unconsidered by the world of action. One can never be sure that it is not on the point of breaking out into action, only sure that it will do so sometime.Ⅳ.
