大学英语四级模拟题三(含答案)
大学英语四级模拟题三Part One Reading Comprehension (2’×10 = 20’)Directions: There are 2 passages in this section. Each passage is followed by some questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A), B), C) and D). Y ou should decide on the best choice and mark the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet with a single line through the centre. Passage OneScientists are trying to make the deserts into good land again. They want to bring water to the deserts so that people can live and grow food. Even so, more and more of the earth is becoming desert all the time.Why? Scientists think that people make deserts. People are doing bad things to the earth. Some people on the earth do not get very much rain. Yet, they still do not become deserts. This is because there are some small green plants growing there. Plants help keep water in the earth. Plants do not let the wind blow the dirt away. Without plants, the land can become a desert much more easily.A man decides to make a farm in a very dry place. He digs in the earth and takes away the grass and plants that are already growing on the dry land.He makes a farm. He puts plants in rows. The sun is very hot. It makes the land even drier. When the rain comes, it runs between the row of plants. It washes the good dirt away. When the wind comes, it blows between the rows of plants. It blows the good dirt away. Soon the land is not good enough for a farm any more. The man lets his animals eat all the plants on it. Now the land does not have any plants on it. The sun and wind dry the land and all of the good dirt away. Now the land is a desert.1. A desert is probably _____________.A. grassyB. wetC. treelessD. muddy2. Land is becoming desert because of lack of _____________.A. rainB. peopleC. windD. plants3. Which of the following is NOT the reason why small green plants are very important to dry places?A. They keep the earth from becoming even drier.B. They do not let wind blow the earth away.C. They add color to the dry places.D. They hold water.4. It can be inferred from the passage that _____________.A. it is bad to plant in rows in a dry placeB. it is better to raise animals on dry land than to make a farmC. it is bad to make a farm in a dry place, but it is good to raise animals thereD. all lands that don’t get very much rain are deserts5. What’s the writer’s purpose in giving an example of the man?A. To criticize him.B. To tell an interesting story.C. To prove man makes deserts.D. To prove the hot sun makes a desert.Passage TwoFor years, international swimming has been controlled by a small number of powerful nations. The U.S., Russia, Germany and Australia have produced some of the sport’s finest players and have won most of the top competitions and medals. But the results of this month’s world championships, which are being held in the Australian city of Perth, will not be so easy to predict. Since the 1996 Olympics in Atlanta, many new names and nationalities have emerged to take on the world leaders.The 1996 Olympics should have been an opportunity for the U.S. to display its great swimming power, but instead it faced some embarrassing defeats. The surprises started on the first day of the competitions, when Fred of Belgium (比利时) set a world record in the competition for 100-metres breast-stroke (蛙泳). Never before had Belgium produced an Olympic champion swimmer. Two other countries also won swimming gold medals for the first time on the opening day. Ireland’s Michell Smith delighted her country with her first of her three gold medals. New Zealand also celebrated with Danyon Loader’s gold in the men’s 200-metre free style. Loader went on to win the 400 meters later in the competition.By late on the second day, the U.S. team’s officials and coaches were starting to be surprised. Penny Heyns of South Africa had broken the women’s 100-metre breast-stroke record in the morning competitions before claiming gold in the final.6. It is hard to predict the results of this month’s championships because _____________.A. players from different countries have sprung up as new championsB. many names of the players haven’t been heardC. a few countries have won international swimming competitionsD. the 1996 Olympics in Atlanta was a success7. What the U.S. had to face at the 1996 Olympics was _____________.A. new swimming powerB. a big successC. several unpleasant failuresD. a great deal of embarrassment8. The player of Belgium broke a world record in 100-metre breast-stroke which _____________.A. it had won beforeB. it has not gained beforeC. it had won many timesD. the U.S. had never won before9. How many gold medals have the other countries won on the opening day?A. Three.B. Four.C. Five.D. Six.10. It can be inferred from the passage that _____________.A. the U.S. is still the only powerful country in swimmingB. the U.S. has been a great swimming powerC. Ireland once controlled international swimmingD. Belgium had won several world swimming championshipsPart Two Listening Comprehension (35’)Section A (1’×15 = 15’)Directions: In this section, you will hear 8 short conversations and 2 long conversations.

War is an ancient institution which has existed for at least six thousand years .It was always had and usually foolish, but in the past thehuman race managed to live with it. Modern ingenuity has changed this. Either Man will abolish war, or war will abolish Man . For the present, it is nuclear weapons that cause the most serious danger, but bacteriological or chemical weapons may, before long, offer an even greater threat. If we succeed in abolishing nuclear weapons, our work will not be done .It will never be done until we have succeeded in abolishing war .To do this, we need to persuade mankind to look upon international questions in a new way, not as contest of force, in which the victory goes to the side which is most skilful in killing people, but by arbitration in accordance with agreed principles of law .It is not easy to change very old mental habits, but this is what must be attempted.There are those who say that the adoption of this or that ideology would prevent war .I believe this to be a big error .All ideologies are based upon dogmatic statements which are ,at best doubtful ,and at worst ,totally false .Their adherents believe in them so fanatically that they are willing to go to war in support of them .The movement of world opinion during the past few years has been very largely such as we can welcome .It has become a commonplace that nuclear war must be avoided .Of course very difficult problems remain in the world ,but the spirit in which they are being approached is a better one than it was some years ago. It has begun to be thought, even by the powerful men who decide whether we shall live or die, that negotiations should reach agreements even if both sides do not find these agreements wholly satisfactory .It has begun to be understood that the important conflict nowadays is not between different countries, but between Man and the atom bomb .1. What change does the author refer to in the sentence “Modern ingenuity has changed this”inparagraph 1?A. The fact that war has always been badB. The fact that man has managed to live with war so farC. The fact that war will abolish manD. The fact that war has existed for thousands of years .2. What does “our work” mean in the sentence “If we succeeded in abolishing nuclear weapons ,our work will not be done . ”in paragraph 1?A. Abolishing warB. Prohibiting new weaponsC. Reaching agreementsD. Making arbitration3. What is the author’s opinion of ideologies?A. He is an adherent of some modern ideologies.B. He does not believe ideologies can prevent war.C. He thinks that some ideologies might have effect.D. He has no doubt about the truth of ideologies.4. Which of following is a proper way to stop war?A. To destroy nuclear weaponsB. To let powerful men control the worldC. To improve modern weaponsD. To solve disputes through negotiation5. Which is the most severe threat to human beings?A. The conflicts among nationsB. The use of atomic bombC. The adoption of ideologiesD. The unsatisfactory agreementsPassage TwoA plan is needed for the World Trade Center site but not a big plan. There are times forbuilding Central Park, and there are times for remedial gardening. Lower Manhattan should not be remade according to some new grand vision. A framework needs to be put in place and some principles agreed on, and city life will take its course. “There is no rush” is a phrase often heard in discussion of the site. Actually, there is a rush, because there’s a reason why most cities struck by disaster-natural or man-made-generally end up rebuilding more or less what was there before. The reason is not a lack of imagination or will. Rather, while the planners and architects are thoughtfully discussing the options, decisions are being made on ground. There is infrastructure to be repaired, fire hydrants to be reconnected, materials to be transported, neighborhood to be knitted back together. And in the absence of a new plan, the old street pattern emerges by default .And soon it’s too late: the blank slate is no longer blank. Yes, the World Trade Center site offers a rare opportunity, as many have been pointed out, but the window of opportunity will not stay open long. There is no immediate pressure to build a lot of office space, since it’s as yet unclear how strong the demand will be and how the current upswing will affect New York. But other things can not wait. Subway tunnels will be rebuilt, stations will be reopened. Damaged infrastructure will be repaired. The destroyed electrical substation will have to be put back into operation. But doesn’t planning take time? Not as much as many people believe. Urban buildings are remarkably durable. We got it right at a long time ago which is why an old city, like London, Rome and Istanbul, often remains a delight.There appears to be agreement among most architects and planners about what should be done on the World Trade Center site. To begin with, New York should not simply replace the destroyed towers with new ones, even if they are lower. The 16-acre site is a so-called super block, the result of a misbegotten theory of 1960’s city planning that replacing streets and sidewalks with windswept plazas was a sign of progress. We have since learned rather, relearned that urban life thrives on streets and sidewalks. So we should put them back. Not that we need to recreate the pre-trade-center street grid in its entirety, but a north-south street would be useful, and so would at least one cross-town road. Fulton Street, for example, could be extended to Battery Park City. There is also an opportunity here to unravel some of the knotted transit issues that bedevil this part of Manhattan.6. From the passage, we can infer that the word “vision” in paragraph 1 means__________A. a beautiful siteB. the ability to seeC. conceptD. foresight7. What’s the most important reason for making the reconstructing decision?A. The old infrastructure.B. The connection with the neighborhoodC. The practical situationD. The effect of current economic upward trend8. Which of the following best reflects the main idea of paragraph 2?A. The blank slate is no longer blankB. The rare opportunity we haveC. The principle of good city buildingD. We must work out the proper plan to remark WTC.9. According to the passage, why is it useful to build a north-south road?A. Because there was a north-south road in Washington D.C..B. Because a north-south road can solve some traffic knots.C. Because it’s the result of the theory of 1960’s city planning.D. Because people need a north-south road to enjoy the beauty of Washington D.C..10. Which one can be the best title for the passage ?A. A Big Plan for the Rebuilding of WTC.B. No idea for the Rebuilding of WTC.C. What Should Be Done on the WTC Site.D. The New WTC Site Has Been Chosen.Passage ThreeRead the following passage and then answer the questions given:Last Thursday an ld gentleman came to our class to talk about the evils of smoking. We saw him take his gold wrist-watch off and lay it on the table. Slater and I can’t remember what he said about smoking because we had other things to think about. He finished when the bell rang for play-time, and the headmaster told us to go out. Slater happened to slip by the table…In the playground Slater showed me the watch. He put it on his wrist, and it looked lovely. I was wishing that I had been the one to slip by the table. The headmaster came out then with the old fellow. They walked about, looking around and talking all the time. After a bit the bell rang, and we got into our lines, ready to go in.The headmaster said, “I’ve got a little job for you boys. Our lecturer has just lost his watch in the playground. It’s happened before, he says—it just slips off his wrist. So look around for it, will you? See if you’re clever enough to find it. I’ve no doubt the boy who does so will get a useful reward.”We all walked about the playground, looking for the watch. And I wasn’t a bit surprised when Slater bent down as if he was picking something up. Then he hurried past me towards the old man. And the next minute there was Slater, all smiles, handing over the watch to the old fellow and hanging about for the reward. But the lecturer didn’t seem at all pleased. In fact he looked quite to put a knife in Slater’s heart until the headmaster burst out laughing. Then they both laughed. Slater told me afterwards that the old man hadn’t even said “Thank you for the watch.”The thing that puzzled us most of all was that Slater didn’t get any reward.11. What might the two boys be doing during the lecture?12. Why did the story-teller wish that he had been the one to slip by the table?13. When Slater “bent down”, what was he trying to do?14. What was the purpose of the promised reward?15. What do you think made the headmaster burst out laughing?Passage FourRead the following passage and then fill in the blanks to finish each of the sentences: Time and how we experience it have always puzzled us. Physicists have created fascinating theories, but their time is measured by a pendulum and is not psychological time, which leaps with little regard to the clock or calendar. As someone who understood the distinction observed, “When you sit with a nice girl for two hours, it seems like a minute, but when you sit on a hot stove, a minute seems like two hours.They also note that the more time is structured with schedules and appointments, the more rapidly it seems to pass. For example, a day at the office flies compared with a day at the beach. Since most of us spend fewer days at the beach and more at the office as we age, an increase in structured time could well be to blame for why time seems to speed up as we grow older.Expectation and familiarity also make time seem to fly more rapidly. Almost all of us have had the experience of dr iving somewhere we’ve never been before. S urrounded by unfamiliar scenery, with no real notion of when we’ll arrive, we experience the trip as lasting a long time. But the return trip, although exactly as long, seems to take far less time. The novelty of the outward journey has become routine. Thus taking a different route on occasions can often help slow the clock.When days become as identical as beads on a string, they blend together, and even months become a single day. To counter this, try to find ways to interrupt the structure of your day--to stoptime, so to speak.Learning something new is another way to slow the passage of time. One of the reason the days of our youth seem so full and long is that these are the days of learning and discovery.16. The passage is meant to explain why time flies and how to ____________.17. According to the passage, when people live an identical and routine life, time seems to__________.18. The quotation in the first paragraph is used to indicate __________ between physical time andpsychological time .19. The learning of something __________ does not make time seem to flow more rapidly .20. Near the end of the fourth paragraph, the word “novelty ” could be best replaced by ________.四．Identify the underlined part which is not correct in each of the followingsentences (每⼩题1分，共计10分):1.

Psychologists take opposing views of how external rewards, from warm praise to cold cash, affect motivation and creativity. Behaviorists, who study the relation between actions and their consequences, argue that rewards can improve performance at work and school. Cognitive (认知学派的) researchers, who study various aspects of mental life, maintain that rewards often destroy creativity by encouraging dependence on approval and gifts from others.The latter view has gained many supporters, especially among educators. But the careful use of small monetary (金钱的) rewards sparks creativity in grade-school children, suggesting that properly presented inducements (刺激) indeed aid inventiveness, according to a study in the June Journal of Personality and Social Psychology.“If kids know they’re working for a reward and can fo cus on a relatively challenging task, they show the most creativity,” says Robert Eisenberger of the University of Delaware in Newark. “But it’s easy to kill creativity by giving rewards for poor performance or creating too much anticipation for rewards.”A teacher who continually draws attention to rewards or who hands out high grades for ordinary achievement ends up with uninspired students, Eisenberger holds. As an example of the latter point, he notes growing efforts at major universities to tighten grading standards and restore failing grades.In earlier grades, the use of so-called token economies, in which students handle challengingproblems and receive performance-based points toward valued rewards, shows promise in raising effort and creativity, the Delaware psychologist claims. （10分）(1) Psychologists are divided with regard to their attitudes toward ________. （2分） A.the choice between spiritual encouragement and monetary rewards B.the amount of monetary rewards for student’creativity C.the study of relationship between actions and their consequences D.the effects of external rewards on students’performance ★标准答案：D(2) What is the response of many educators to external rewards for their students? （2分）A.They have no doubts about them.B.They have doubts about them.C.They approve of them.D.They avoid talking about them. ★标准答案：B(3) Which of the following can best raise students’creativity according to Robert Eisenberger? （2分） A.Assigning them tasks they have not dealt with before. B.Assigning them tasks which require inventiveness. C.Giving them rewards they really deserve. D.Giving them rewards they anticipate. ★标准答案：C(4) It can be inferred from the passage that major universities are trying to tighten their grading standards because they believe ________. （2分）A.rewarding poor performance may kill the creativity of studentsB.punishment is more effective than rewardingC.failing uninspired students helps improve their overall academic standardsD.discouraging the students’ anticipation for easy rewards i s a matter of urgency ★标准答案：A(5) The phrase “token economies”(Line 1, Para. 5) probably refers to ________. （2分）A.ways to develop economyB.systems of rewarding studentsC.approaches to solving problemsD.methods of improving performance★标准答案：B2. Imagine a world 400 years ago where children were used as chimney sweeps. The pay was low, it was a dirty trade and there was little reward for the men who did the job and even less for children.Medway’s annual Sweeps Festival recreates the joy and laughter enjoyed by the chimney sweeps at their traditional holiday: the one time of the year the sweeps could leave the soot（烟灰）behind and have some fun. The sweeps’holiday was traditionally held on 1 May each year. Locally, they used to mark the occasion by staging a procession through the streets of Rochester.Their fun continued with the Jack-in-the-Green ceremony, a seven-foot character that they used to waken at dawn on Blue Bell Hill, Chatham. The Jack-in-the-Green would walk with the chimney sweeps in their parade. When the Climbing Boys’ Act 1868 made it illegal to employ young boys to carry out the trade, the traditional procession gradually began to fade. The final May celebration was held in the early 1900s.The modern day Rochester Sweeps Festival is a colorful mix of music, dancing and entertainment with more than 60 Morris sides and entertainers celebrating throughout the three-day festival. The festival was revived in 1981 by local businessman Gordon Newton, a keen historian. He decided it was time to bring it back and over the years he has helped develop the festival into what it is today — an excellent performance of traditional Britain.Gordon researched the Sweeps’tradition and organized a small parade, involving local Morris teams. In time, Medway Council took over organization of the festival but Gordon remainedactively involved. Today he is festival producer and plays melodeon（簧风琴）for several Morris teams. Doug Hudson is the festival’s music director, a role he has held for many years. Through Gordon’s vision and hard work, Doug’s musical ability and the council’s help, the Rochester Sweeps Festival has become the largest May Day celebration of its kind in the country. （10分）(1) According to the writer, chimney sweeps ____________. （2分） A.were highly respected B.were well rewarded C.led a hard life in the past D.worked in good conditions★标准答案：C(2) Medway’s Sweeps Festival ____________. （2分） A.has been organized by the Jack-in-the-Green B.dated back to the May celebration in the early 1900s C.is held to honor those chimney sweeps every other year D.has become a time for chimney sweeps to enjoy themselves★标准答案：D(3) The underlined word “revive”in the 4th paragraph most probably means ___________. （2分）A.realizeB.reviewC.recreateD.recognize★标准答案：C(4) It can be inferred from the passage that ____________. （2分） A.the festival has never been supported by the local government B.The festival is a good way to see British folk customs in action C.youngsters has been forbidden to be chimney sweeps since 1981 D.the modern festival lasts five days celebrating the coming of spring★标准答案：B(5) What is the passage mainly concerned about? （2分） A.Sweeps Festival historyB.Medway’s traditional holidaysC.Climbing Boys’Act 1868D.a procession in Rochester★标准答案：A3. Have you ever heard the story of the four-minute mile? Many years ago, people believed that it was impossible for a human being to run a mile in less than four minutes until Roger Banister proved it wrong in1954.What happens if you put an animal in a pond? Any animal, big or small, will swim its way through. What happens when someone, who does not know how to swim, falls in deep waters? They drown. If an animal who has not learned swimming could escape by swimming, why not you? Because you believe you will drown while the animal does not.Have you ever wondered why the letters are organized in a particular order on hour keyboard? You might have thought it is to increase the typing speed. Most people never question it. But the fact is that this system was developed to reduce the typing speed at a time when typewriter parts would jam if the operator typed too fast.These three cases show the power of our beliefs. There is no other more powerful directing force in human behavior than belief. Your beliefs have the power to create and to destroy. A belief delivers a direct command to your nervous system.I used a snake in my workshops for children to show them how unrealistic some of their beliefs are. Students of a school in India, said snakes were slippery, slimy (黏糊糊的) and poisonous. After doing an exercise for changing beliefs, they handled my snake and found it to be dry andclean. They also remembered that only three types of poisonous snakes exist in India.Did this story end the way you thought? Review your beliefs now and find out which ones you need to change. （10分）(1) In the author’s opinion, if a person in deep water doesn’t know how to swim he will drown because _________. （2分）A.he is afraid of waterB.he doesn’t want to live in the worldC.he hasn’t learned to swim beforeD.he believes he will drown★标准答案：D(2) The author thinks that the letters are organized in a particular order on your keyboard in order to _________. （2分）A.reduce one’s typing speedB.satisfy the operatorC.save more spaceD.increase one’s typing speed★标准答案：A(3) The author’s experiment shows that __________. （2分） A.snakes in India aren’t poisonous B.snakes can be caught easily C.snakes are slimy and poisonousD.snakes are dry and clean★标准答案：D(4) According to the passage, we know that ________. （2分） A.students from India have unrealistic beliefs on how to live a better life B.an animal who has not learned to swim will drown if you put it in a pond.

A breakthrough (突破) in the provision of energy from the sun for the European Economic Community (EEC) could be brought forward by up to two decades, if a modest increase could be provided in the EEC’s research effort in this field, according to the senior EEC scientists engaged in experiments in solar energy at EEC’s scientific laboratories at Ispra, near Milan.The senior West German scientist in charge of the Community’s solar energy programme, Mr. Joachim Gretz, told journalists that at present levels of research spending it was most unlikely that solar energy would provide as much as three per cent of the Community’s energy requirements even after the year 2000. But he said that with a modest increase in the present< sums, devoted by the EEC to this work it was possible that the breakthrough could be achieved by the end of the next decade.Mr. Gretz calculates that if solar energy only provided three per cent of the EEC’s needs, this could still produce a saving of about a billion pounds in the present bill for imported energy each year. And he believes that with the possibility of utilizing more advanced technology in this field it might be possible to satisfy a much bigger share of the Community’s future energy needs.At present the EEC spends about $2.6 millions a year on solar research at Ispra, one of the EEC’s official joint research centres, and another $3 millions a year in indirect research with universities and other independent bodies. （10分）(1) The phrase “be brought forward”(Line 2, Para. 1) most probably means ________. （2分）A.be expectedB.be completedC.be advancedD.be introduced★标准答案：C(2) Some scientists believe that a breakthrough in the use of solar energy depends on ________.A.sufficient fundingB.further experimentsC.advanced technologyD.well-equipped laboratories ★标准答案：A(3) According to Mr. Gretz, the present sum of money will enable the scientists to provide ________. （2分）A.more than 3 ~, 6 of the EEC’s needs after the year 2000B.only 3% of the EEC’s needs before the year 2000C.less than 3% of the EEC’s needs before the year 2000D.3% of the EEC’s needs after the year 2000 ★标准答案：C(4) Which of the following is NOT true according to the passage? （2分） A.The EEC spends one billion pounds on imported energy each year. B.At the present level of research spending, it is difficult to make any significant progress in the provision of energy from the sun.C.The desired breakthrough could be obtained by the end of the next decade if investment were increased.D.The total yearly spending of the EEC on solar energy research amounted to almost 6 million. ★标准答案：A(5) The application of advanced technology to research in solar energy ________. （2分）A.would lead to a big increase in research fundingB.would make it unnecessary to import oilC.would make it possible to meet the future energy needs of the EECD.would providea much greater proportion of the Community’s future energy needs ★标准答案：D三. 完型填空（共10题,共15分）1. {Today the car is the most popular sort of transportation in all of the United States.

大学英语四级模拟试题及答案篇1Part Ⅱ Reading Comprehension (35 minutes)Directions: There are 4 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 correspondingletter on the Answer Sheet with a single line through the center.Questions 21 to 25 are based on the following passage:Some radio singals were heard in 1967.They were coming from a point in the sky where there was unknown star.They were coming very regularly,too:about once a second,if they were controlled by clock.?The scientists who heard the signals did not tell anybody else.They were rather afraid to tell in case they frightened people.The signals were coming from a very small body—no bigger,perhaps than the earth.Was that why no light could be seen from it?Or were the signals coming from a planet that belonged to some other star??There was no end to the questions,but the scientists kept the news secret.“Perhaps there are intelligent beings out there.”they thought,“who are trying to send messages to other planets,or to us?So the news was notgiven to the newspaper.Instead,the scientists studied the signals and searched for others like them...Well,all that happened in 1967 and 1968.Since then scientists have learnt more about those strange,regular,radio signals.And they have told the story,of course.The signals do not come from a planet;they come from a new kind of star called a “pulsar””.About a hundred other pulsars have now been found,and most of themare very like the first one.?Pulsars are strong radio stars.They are the smallest but the heaviest stars we know at present.A handful of pulsar would weigh a few thousand tons.Their light—if they give much light—is too small for us to see.But we can be sure of this,no intelligent beings are living on them.21. The radio signals discussed in this passage____.A.were regularB.were controlled by a clockC.were heard in 1967 onlyD.were secret messages22. The radio singals were sent by____.A.a satelliteB.a planetC.a sky body which was unknown at that timeD.intelligent beings who were unknown at that time23. The scientists did not tell people about the signals because____.A.the singals stood for secret messagesB.people would ask them too many questionsC.they did not want to frighten peopleD.they stood for unimportant messages24.

What is the article mainly concerned?A.The problem of spreading desert.B.The rainfall and vegetation in desert areas.C.The water collection systems.D.The difference between modern life and ancient life.27. “one out of seven” refers to____.A.more than a third of the lands' earthB.the percentage of the earth's land that is desert-likeC.the number of people who live in dry regionsD.a day of a week28. In paragraph 2,“they are taken to the greener lands in the south.”Theyrefers to____.A.the Sahel farm landB.the farmersC.the cattlesD.the trees29.

Because of these devices, ideas and news ofevents spread quickly allover the world. For example, within seconds, people can know the results of anelection in another country. An international football match comes into the homesof everyone with a television set.News of a disaster such as an earthquake or aflood can bring help from distant countries within hours, help is on the way. Because of modern technology like the satellites that travel around the world, information travels fast.How has this speed of communication changed the world? To many people,the world has become smaller. Of course this does not mean that the world is actually physically smaller. It means that the world seems smaller. Two hundred years ago,communication between the continents took a long time. All news was carried on ships that took weeks or even months to cross the ocean. In the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries,it took six weeks for news from Europe to reach America.This time difference influenced people's actions. For example, one battle, or fight, in the War of 1812 between England and the United States could have been avoided. A peace agreement had already been signed. Peace was made in England, but the news of peace took six weeks to reach America. During these six weeks, the large and serious Battle of New Orleans was fought. Many people lost their lives after a peace treaty had been signed.They would not have died if news had come in time.In the past,communication took much time than it does now.?There was a good reason why the world seemed so much larger than it does today.31. News spreads fast because of____.A.modern transportationB.new technologyC.the change of the worldD.a peace agreement32. According to this passage,____is very important to people in a disaster area.A.fast communicationB.modern technologytest newsD.new ideas33.

The distance between England and America has changed since the War of 181234. Two hundred years ago,news between the continents was carried____.A.by telephone and telegraphB.by landC.by airD.by sea35. The New Orleans Battle could have been avoided if the peace agreement had been signed____.A.by both sidesB.in timeC.in AmericaD.in EnglandQuestions 36 to 40 are based on the following passage:The concept of personal choice in relation to health behaviors is an important one.An estimated 90 percent of all illnesses may be preventable if individuals would make sound personal health choices based upon current medical knowledge.We all enjoy our freedom of choice and do not like to see it restricted when it is within the legal and moral boundaries of society.[ZZ)]The structure of American society allows us to make almost all our own personal decisions that may concern ourhealth.If we so desire,we can smoke,drink excessively, refuse to wear seatbelts,eat whatever foods we want,and live a completely sedentary life-style without any excuse.The freedom to make such personal decisions is a fundamental aspect of our society,although the wisdom of these decisions can be questioned.Personal choices relative to health often cause a difficulty.As one example,a teenager may know the facts relative to smoking cigarettes and health but may be pressured by friends into believing it is the socially accepted thing to do.?A multitude of factors,both inherited and environmental,influence the development of health?related behaviors,and it is beyond the scope of this text to discuss all these factors as they may affect any given individual.However,the decision to adopt a particular health-related behavior is usually one of personal choices.There are healthy choices and there are unhealthy choices.In discussing the moral of personal choice,Fries and Crapo drew a comparison.They suggest that to knowingly give oneself over to a behavior that has a statistical probability of shortening life is similar to attempting suicide.[ZZ)]Thus,for those individuals who are interested in preserving both the quality and quantity of life,personal health choices should reflect those behaviors that are associated with statistical probability of increased vitality and longevity.36. The concept of personal choice concerning health is important because____.A.personal health choices help cure most illnessesB.it helps raise the level of our medical knowledgeC.it is essential to personal freedom in American societyD.wrong decisions could head to poor health37. To “live a completely sedentary life?style”(Para. 1) in the passage means____.”A.to live an inactive lifeB.to live a decent lifeC.to live a life with complete freedomD.to live a life of vice38. Sound personal health choice is often difficult to make because____.A.current medical knowledge is still insufficientB.there are many factors influencing our decisionsC.few people are willing to trade the quality of life for longevityD.people are usually influenced by the behavior of their friends39. To knowingly allow oneself to pursue unhealthy habits is compared by Fries and Crapo to____.A.improving the quality of one's lifeB.limiting one's personal health choiceC.deliberately ending one's lifeD.breaking the rules of social behavior40. According to Fries and Crapo sound health choices should be based on____.A.personal decisionsws of societyC.statistical evidenceD.opinions of friendsPart Ⅲ Vocabulary and Structure (20 minutes)Directions:There are 30 incomplete sentences in this part.For each sentence there are four choices marked A),B),C) and D).Choose the ONE answer that best completes the sentence.Then mark the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet with a single line through the center.41. ____he thought of it,the stars seemed always large andclear before the dawn of Christmas Day.A.As forB.Now thatC.BecauseD.As soon as42.

For questions 8-10, complete the sentences with the information given in the passage.The Overworked, Networked FamilyBring up work-and-family balance at a neighbor’s barbecue, and the conversation immediately t urns toward tales of rushing out of meetings at breakneck (飞快的) speed to shuttle the kids to soccer practice or struggling to tear ourselves away for a decent vacation. Complaints about time pressure are so common that they have become a common cultural vocabulary. Everybody, it seems, is stressed out about time, and achieving “balance” has become the Holy Grail (圣杯) of middle-class family life.But maybe balance is the wrong image. Instead, think transformation. Just as businesses are shifting from Industrial Age to networks, so, too, is the American family undergoing a parallel social revolution. Parents and children are no longer on the same schedule — unlike the way things were a generation ago. With many educated mothers and fathers working longer hours, they are linked to their kids by a web of cell phones and e-mails.At the same time, kids are taking the initiative to pursue more activities and are using information technologies to nurture their own electronic networks of relationships, from friends at school to cousins in distant cities.The networked economy is leading to far different standards and expectations of what it means to be a parent and a child. It’s not simple enough for the young to get an education. Instead, the goal is to raise children to be creative and adaptable, able both to compete successfully and to collaborate with their peers from all over the world. “We have an economy whose functioning depends for the first time on the enhancement of human capability,” says Richard Florida, professor of public policy at George Mason University in Fairfax, Va.How can the typical overworked white-collar American —bombarded(轰炸) by e-mails, troubled with late-night meetings, and confronted with unexpected business trips — at the same time manage at high speed and cope with the new challenges at home? Gradually, a new body of shared rules-of-thumb (经验做法) is emerging, passed along at playgrounds and in offices. Among them: transform technology from an oppressor into a liberator.Others have mastered the art of interweaving work obligations and home life in a way that was not possible before, answering an e-mail from work one minute and helping with homework the next. And the younger members of the family — already far more sophisticated at multitasking and networking than their parents — are getting a chance to see what approaches work and what falls flat.Historically, the organization of the family has mirrored, to some degree, the organization of the workplace. Take the classic middle-class family of the 1950s and ‘60s, the “Golden Age” economy of stro ng productivity growth and abundant gains in real wages. With a secure corporate job, Dad could afford to work not much more than 40 hours a week and Mom could stay at home to raise the children. The family of that era did many things together. The classic example is eating dinner every evening at the kitchen table. The kids also followed their parents when Mom and Dad visited friends. In essence, a family acted like a single unit, with a hierarchy (等级制度) that mirrored the top-down management of factories or large industrial organizations of the day.Fast-forward to the 2000s. Today, both Mom and Dad are more likely to have careers. The combined workweek of a husband and wife in their prime working years with children is 68 hours, up from 59 hours in 1979, according to calculations by the Economic Policy Institute. The better educated the couple, the more hours they put in. At theof being outsourced to foreign countries. Instead, what’s left are the more complicated and creative tasks that can’t be easily reduced to a set of instructions.At home, standards for a healthy, emotionally rich family life are a lot higher than they used to be. Schedules during “leisure hours” are filled with music lessons and play dates for the kids, exercise classes for Mom, and occasional golf times for Dad. Parents are aware that colleges and universities look more favorably on high school students with a demonstrated ability to do many things well, not unlike the skills they will need in the workplace.To achieve these goals, families are learning to turn technology to their advantage. Many time-pressed workers now realize that technology creates greater possibilities for busy families to stay in touch and, at the same time, increase family time. When Ruder went to the work on Saturdays and Sundays, he doesn’t long for “the good old days”. “Because of technology, I probably spend more time working on the weekend now, but it’s easier on me because I can work at home, then take a run, and go out to brunch with friends,” he says.But just as excessive e-mails and conference calls fill up time on the job, there’s te mptation to use the technology to stuff too much in at home as well. Other busy people have found that it’s important to maintain fairly strict boundaries between work and home.It’s important to note that there’s no one-size-fit-all solution for the problem of reconciling long hours at work with a healthy family life. What’s more, individuals can accomplish only so much acting on their own. Schools and other major community institutions still behave as though the 40-hour workweek were the rule rather than the exception. And corporations are still loading new responsibilities and commitments onto managers and professionals, without taking away any of the old ones. Nevertheless, what’s fascinating about the current focus on managing work and family time is th at it’s rooted in an abundance of possibilities. Through trial and error, with many troubles along the way, the networked family is starting to figure out how to take advantage of the many opportunities available today. And that’s progress.1. We learn from the first paragraph that ______.A) middle-class families take achieving balance as the Holy GrailB) time pressure makes it hard for people to balance work and familyC) people are too busy to share the interesting things in their life with each otherD) complaints about time pressure have become ever more common among people2.

Forblanks numbered from 44 to 46 you are required to fill in the missing information. For these blanks, youcan either use the exact words you have just heard or write down the main points in your own words.Finally, when the passage is read for the third time, you should check what you have written.Pocket electronic dictionaries, popular with students, are raising (36) _______ among local educators. Used (37)_______ in price from several hundred yuan to several thousand, depending on the functions “The electronic dictionary lightens both my school bag and my work (39) _______,”said a middle school student. “Most of my classmates use electronic dictionaries for the (40) _______.” he said.Even some teachers (41) _______ electronic dictionaries. “Electronic dictionaries often allow students to read more,” said an English teacher. “they prefer to look up words they don’t understand without having to (42) _______ through a dictionary. They often find ordinary dictionaries are too complicated.”However, educators have expressed some concerns about the (43) risks of allowing students to useunder way in health care systems around the country. For example:Electronic Health Records (EHRs) are 50 paper records. While many still experience the 51 of a paper-driven system that is only slightly more sophisticated than black-and-white reruns of Marcus Welby, M.D., EHRs give leading health care providers a complete and accurate medical history as well as links to practice guidelines and best practices. Doctors can access a wide range of tools that support 52 , care management and compliance (遵循) with protocols (方案).pharmacy(药房) to patient. It’s not just about sending a prescription electronically to ensure legibility. A good e-Prescrib ing system automatically flags potentially harmful drug interactions and checks a health Plan’s reimbursement (偿还) schedule to 54 costs for patients.Personal Health Records (PHRs) are patient-owned and 55 electronic health records that allow people to store, access and coordinate their complete health history and make 56 parts available to those who need it. The key here is that individuals are in control of their own information.extreme than others.For example, it is one thing to take the life of another in a fit of blind rage, but quite another to coldly plot and carry out the murder of one or more people in the style of a butcher. Thus, murder, like all other crimes, is a matter of relative degree. While it could be argued with some conviction that the criminal in the first instance should be merely isolated from society, such should not be the fate of the latter type murderer.The value of the death penalty as a deterrent to crime may be open to debate. But the overwhelming majority ofpenalty deters murder. For example, from 1954 to 1963, when the death penalty was consistently imposed in California, the murder rate remained between three and four murders for each 100,000 population. Since 1964 the death penalty has been imposed only once, and the murder rate has risen to 10.4 murder rate, which began when executions stopped, is no coincidence (巧合). It is convincing evidence that the death penalty does deter many murders. If the bill reestablishing the death penalty is vetoed(否决), innocent people will be murdered —some whose lives may have been saved if the death penalty were in effect. This is literally a life or death matter. The lives of thousands of innocent people must be protected.57. The principle purpose of this passage is to ______.A) initiate a veto C) criticize the governmentB) speak for the majority D) argue for the value of the death penalty58. The author’s response to those who urge the death penalty for all degrees of murder would most likely be______ .A) friendly B) hostile C) negative D) supportive59. It can be inferred from Paragraph 4 that the author thinks that ______ .A) the second type murders should be sentenced to deathB) the value of the death penalty as a deterrent to crime is not to be debatedC) the veto of the bill reestablishing the death penalty is of little importanceD) the death penalty is the most controversial issue in the United States today60. The passage attempts to establish a relationship between ______.A) executions and murdersB) the effects of execution and the effects of isolationC) the murder rate and the importance of the death penaltyD) the importance of equal rights and that of the death penalty61. The author’s attitude towards death penalty is ______.A) opposing B) supporting C) neutral D) sarcasticPassage TwoQuestions 62 to 66 are based on the following passage.Many are aware of the tremendous waste of energy in our environment, but fail to take advantage of straightforward opportunities to conserve that energy. For example, everyone knows that lights should be switched off when no one is in an office. Similarly, when employees are not using a meeting room, there is no need to regulate temperature.Fortunately, one need not rely on human intervention to conserve energy. With the help of smart sensing and network technology, energy conservation processes such as turning off lights and adjusting temperature can beenergy use and institute procedures that lead to smarter and more efficient home, building and industrial plants.Until now, wires and cables for power and connectivity have limited the widespread adoption of sensor (传感器) networks by making them difficult and expensive to install and maintain. Battery-powered wireless networks can simplify installation and reduce cost. But their high power consumption and the corresponding need for regular battery replacement has made wireless networks difficult and costly to maintain. Nobody wants to replace hundreds or thousands of window sensor batteries in a large building on a regular basis.The promise of wireless sensor networks can only be fully realized when the wiring for both the data communication and the power supply is eliminated. Doing so requires a true battery-free wireless solution, one that can utilize energy harvested directly from the environment. To facilitate the widespread deployment of wireless sensor networks, GreenPeak has developed an ultra-low-power communication technology that can utilize environmental energy sources such as light, motion and vibration. This technology, employing on-board power management circuits and computer software to monitor energy harvesters and make the best use of harvested energy, enables sensors to operate reliably in a battery-free environment.Wireless sensor networks deployed in our offices and home will have an enormous impact on our daily lives, helping to build a smarter world in which energy is recycled and fully utilized. These wireless platforms, equipped with advanced sensing capability, will enable us to better control our lives, homes and environment, creating a truly connected world that enables people worldwide to live in a more comfortable, safer, and cleaner environment.62. Batteries are not an ideal energy source for sensor networks because they ______.A) require automatic rechargingB) are difficult and costly to maintainC) have to be replaced from time to timeD) contain metals that pollute the environment63. Battery-free wireless sensor networks are made possible by the fact that ______.A) their maintenance has been greatly simplifiedB) there is energy in the environment to be utilizedC) the cost of using them has been drastically reducedD) modern data communication consumes little energy64. According to the passage, GreenPeak ______.A) supplies batteries operating on harvested energyB) benefits handsomely from communication technologyC) promotes the application of wireless sensor networksD) is the first company to install wireless sensor networks65. The focus of Paragraph 4 is on the ______.A) replacement of batteries in harvestersB) elimination of batteries in sensor networksC) impact of sensor networks on power supplyD) monitoring of energy harvested from the environment66. Wireless sensor networks promise to ______.A) bring businesses high profits C) turn motion into a major source of energyB) further develop the sensing technology D) improve the daily lives of people worldwideasthe75One study saw participants follow one of the tips to see 76 effective it was.

Passage 1Tom arrived at the bus station quite early for Paris bus. The bus for Paris would not leave until five to twelve. He saw a lot of people waiting in the station. Some were standing in line, others were walking around. There was a group of schoolgirls. Their teacher was trying to keep them in line. Tom looked around but there was no place for him to sit.He walked into the station cafe. He looked up at the clock there. It was only twenty to twelve. He found a seat and sat down before a large mirror on the wall. Just then, Mike, one of Tom's workmates came in and sat with Tom."What time is your bus?" asked Mike. "There's plenty of time yet" answered Tom."Well, I'll get you some more tea then" said Mike.They talked while drinking. Then Tom looked at the clock again. "Oh! It's going backward" he cried. "A few minutes ago it was twenty to twelve, and now it's half past eleven.""You're looking at the clock in the mirror." said Mike. Tom was so sad. The next bus was not to leave for another hour.

TPassage 2How men first learnt to invent words is unknown; in other words, the origin of language is a mystery. All we really know is that men, unlike animals, somehow invented certain sounds to express thought and feelings, actions and things, so that they could communicate with each other; and that later they agreed upon certain signs, called letters, which could be combined to present those sounds, and which could be written down. Those sounds, whether spoken or written in letters, we call words.The power of words, then, lies in their associations —the things they bring up before our minds. Words become filled with meaning for us by experience; and the longer we live, the more certain words recall to us the glad and sad events of our past; and the more we read and learn, the more the number of words that mean something increases.Great writers are those who not only have great thoughts but also express these thoughts in words which appeal powerfully to our minds and emotions. This charming and telling use of words is what we call literary style. Above all, the real poet is a master of words. He can convey his meaning in words which sing like music and which by their position and association can move men to tears. We should therefore learn to choose our words carefully and use them accurately, or they will make our speech silly and vulgar.16. The origin of language is ___D______.A. a legend handed down from the pastB. a matter that is hidden or secretC. a question difficult to answerD. a problem not yet solved17. What is true about words? ___C____A. They are used to express feelings only.B. They can not be written down.C. They are simply sounds.D. They are mysterious.18. The real power of words consists in their _D_____.A. propertiesB. characteristicsC. peculiarityD. representative function19. By "association" in the last paragraph, the author means ___B___.A. a special qualityB. a joining of ideas in the mindC. an appearance which is puzzlingD. a strange feature20. Which of the following statements about the real poet is NOT true? ___A______A. He is no more than a master of words.B. He can convey his ideas in words which sing like music.C. He can move men to tears.D. His style is always charming.第三部分：词汇与结构(共10小题;每小题2分，满分20分)此部分共有10个未完成的句子，针对每个句子中未完成的部分有4个选项，请从A、B、C、D四个选项中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项，并用铅笔将答题卡上的相应字母涂黑。
