Each passage is followed by five questions or unfinished statements. For each of them, there are four choices marked A), B), C), D). You should decide on the best choice and mark the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet with a single line through the center.Passage oneQuestions 33 to 37 are based on the following passage.A range of new commuting bikes are promising to make everyday travel by bicycle as comfortable and fashionable as it is cheap. They also allow you to combine workout (锻炼)with transportation. “ it’s convenient; it keeps me fit; and it saves money,” says Scott Infanger, a professor at the University of North Alabama, who regularly bikes his daughter, Elizabeth, 7, to school on the way to his nearby office.Bikes stores and manufacturers across the nation are reporting a signification rise lately in sales. “They’re selling out of all the commuting bikes—all bikes, actually—that they can get th eir hands on,” says Bill Field, a consultant who has followed the bicycle industry for decades. Fields predicts a 20 percent increase in the “comfort bikes”, which includes commuting bikes, by the end of the year.One big block to a rise in bike commuting is a concern about safety. In 2006, 773 people were killed bicycling, and tens of thousands injured. Rutgers researchers who compared the safety of walking, biking, and driving found that, per kilometer traveled, bicycle fatalities(死亡人数)were 11 times higher than car fatalities.Still, experts say, the story has another side. In the Rutgers study, the rate of pedestrian (行人) fatalities associated with walking on the sidewalk was a full 36 times higher than car fatalities. One Danish study published in the Archives of Internal Medicine found that because of the health benefits of bicycle commuting, the death rate among noncyclists was 39 percent higher than among the bikes.33. According to Professor Infanger, bike commuting is .A) convenient, health, and economicalB) fast, economical, and healthC) convenient, fashionable, and healthD) economical, comfortable, and convenient34. Which of the following shows that more and more people travel by bike?A) All bikes are actually sold out in the nation.B) It is difficult for customers to buy bicycles.C) Bike stores do not have many bicycles in store.D)There is a 20 percent increase in production.35. According to the passage, more people will consider bike commuting if .A) there is less concern about its safetyB) they travel within one kilometerC) bikes are made more comfortableD) they live closer to where they work36. The Rutgers study shows that it is most dangerous .A) to become a cyclist B) to walk on the sidewalkC) to travel by bicycling D) to travel by driving37. By saying “the story has another side”, the experts probably mean that .A) bicycling is more dangerous than sidewalkB) cycling is not dangerous on the sidewalkC) the benefits of cycling outweigh the risksD) it may not be worthwhile to take the risksPassage twoQuestions 38 to 42 are based on the following passage.Once in Britain, family members would all get annoyed at the phone call while watching TV programs like The Two Ronnies. This does not often happen now—we are either twice as smart or twice as inattentive as we used to be.Ofcom’s research demonstrates that the British have become a nation of media junkies(成瘾者). Now they spend more time on the Internet and do much net visiting while watching television. It is unlikely that the whole family will be in the living room these days—unless Doctor Who is on.Ofcom’s data show that despite all the dis tractions(分心)offered by the Internet, which were supposed to threaten the basis of television viewing, the British remain fixed to the small screen.The average time spent in front of TV fixed at three hours and 38 minutes a day, only six minutes down from 2003. Radio listening has suffered a little more in that time, but every person still spends a further 2 hours and 44 minutes a day with the radio on in the background.What has changed in that traditional media no longer occupy all attention for those under 45.About a third of 16 to 44-year-olds admit to using their computer while watching television. Well over half of them will pick up the mobile when watching EastEnders.It’s a change in habits making us worry about the change of tradition –but in reality it’s a natural response to the increasing media.38. The TV program that probably appeals to all family members now is .A) a tradition program B) EastEndersC) The Two Ronnies D) Doctor Who39. According to the passage, people used to .A) pay less attention to whatever they didB) be less smart than they are nowC) be reluctant to make telephone callsD) sit down and watch TV with their family40. The Ofcom’s researc h shows that the British now .A) spend 5 times as much time on the Internet as 4 years agoB) are used to visiting the Internet while watching TVC) prefer the Internet to TV for their informationD) visit the Internet much more often than they watch TV41. How much time did the average British spend a day in front of TV in 2003?A) two hours and six minutes B) three hours and 44 minutesC) two hours and 44 minutes D) three hours and six minutes42. Ofcom’s data show that the habit of those under 45 has changed so that they .A) tend to pay attention to more than one thing at a timeB) never gather in front of TV to watch the same programC) are always talking to someone on the mobile phoneD) would rather stay with traditional media attentivelyPassage threeQuestions 43 to 47 are based on the following passage.Tiny people might be living inside of your computer—eating, sleeping, and going to school just like you do. But don’t be alarmed: This civilization isn’t real. The people are characters from the game The Sims, the best-selling creation of Will Wright’s.After graduation, Wright got a job working on a typical fighting video game called Raid on Bungeling Bay. In this game, the players drops bombs on a city. Wright found that his favorite part of the design process was creating the landscape(风景), not destroying it.Wright’s dream, like that of many of his friends, was to produce his own video game. He designed SimCity, but for years could n’t find anyone willing to invest the money needed to put it on the market. Then one day, he met computer-game producer Jeff Braum, who loved the idea of a noncombative (非打斗的)game. Together they formed a small company—and a whole new type of video games ca lled “simulation (模拟)reality” that allow players to build virtual societies. SimCity came out soon, followed by The Sims eleven years later.“We spend a lot of time doing research before we start making the games—usually about a year or two,” says Wright. “For my latest game, Spore, I started the research process about six years ago.”Today, Wright employs a large team of computer programmers, designers, and graphic artists to help him bring his ideas to life. He owes his success to three things: his curiosity, his persistence, and his team.43. What did Will Wright create in The Sims?A) A fighting video game B) A virtual societyC) A complicated computer D) A best—selling movie44.Wright’s first job after graduation annoyed him because_____.A) he preferred creating to destroying B) he couldn’t take part in the designC) he had to work on a video game D) he had to drop bombs on a city45. What is the contribution of Will Wright and Jeff Braun to the video games?A) They created simulation reality in video games.B) They defeated the competition from combative games.C) They put video games on the market for the first time.D) They produced two video games: SimCity and The Sims.46. According to Wright, his success results directly from all below EXCEPT_____.A) teamwork B) curiosity C) persistence D) marketing47. Which of the following statements is true according to the passage?A) It took eleven years for Wright and Braun to do the research for SimCity.B) Wright and Braun have so far produced two games: SimCity and The Sims.C) For years, lack of investment prevented Wright from marketing SimCity.D) Simulation reality can be applied to both combative and noncombative games. Passage FourQuestions 48 to 52 are based on the following passage.Over the centuries, scientists have been trying hard to find satisfactory substitutes for precious stones but failed many times.Many years ago, a chemist surprised the world by saying: “It should be possible to make a precious stone that not only looks like a real thing, but that is the real thing. The only difference should be that one crystal would made by man, the other by nature.”At first this did not seem like a particular hard task. Scientists began to try making synthetic diamonds towards the ends of the eighteenth century and discovered a key scientific fact: diamonds are a form of carbon, which is a very common element.Then, why not change a cheap and plentiful substance, carbon, into a rare and expensive one, diamond? This change takes place in nature, so it should be possible to make it happen in the laboratory.It should be possible, but for 150 years every effort failed though several people believed that they had solved the diamond riddle during this period.The real success came after the scientists realized that, in changing carbon into diamonds, unbelievably heavy pressure and extremely high temperature are indispensable, and carbon needs to be dissolved in a melted metal that helps the reaction to take place more easily.Under these conditions, a number of shiny crystals were produced in the laboratories of the General Electric Company. The results of careful analysis showed that the chemist was right: these jewels of the laboratory were not like diamonds; they were diamonds.48. In the 2nd paragraph, what is the chemist trying to say?A) Scientists expect a small difference between a man-made crystal and anature-made one.B) There is only a little difference between a man-made crystal and nature-madeone.C) Man should be able to make a precious stone that is exactly the same as anatural one.D) It is a real thing that man was able to make a precious stone as nature can do.49. After the key scientific fact was discovered, the scientists_____.A) felt it even harder to succeed in making synthetic diamondsB) soon succeeded in changing cheap carbon into expensive diamondsC) found that carbon is very common in nature and so are diamondsD) felt it more hopeful to succeed in marking synthetic diamonds50. According to the passage, the real success probably came_____.A) around 1900 B) 150 years agoC) around 1950s D) in the 19th century51. If something is indispensable ( paragraph 6), it is_____.A) reasonably valuable B) absolutely necessaryC) relatively useless D) enormously helpful52. Which of the following statements is true according to the passage?A) Since diamonds are a form of carbon, diamonds can be made only by nature.B) Since carbon is a plentiful substance we can easily make synthetic diamonds.C) Synthetic diamonds made in the laboratory are not like natural diamonds.D) Something taking place in nature may also take place in the laboratory.Part IV Translation from English into Chinese (10%) (15 minutes) Directions:In this part, there are five items, and four of them are taken from the reading passage you have just read. Below each, there are five Chinesesentences translated, which are marked A), B), C), D) and E). Eachletter stands for a score varying from 0 to 2.

四川省英语三级(阅读理解)历年真题试卷汇编1(题后含答案及解析)
四川省英语三级(阅读理解)历年真题试卷汇编1(题后含答案及解析)题型有: 3. Reading ComprehensionReading ComprehensionThe French shake hands with everyone (family, children, strangers) at home, on the way to work, at work, on the way from work, etc.Thus, in an office that employs perhaps a dozen people, no work will be done for the first half hour, while those who have not met since the day before remind each other of who they are. However, it is important to remember with whom one has shaken hands on any one day.The French regard it as extremely bad mariners to shake hands twice, as though one had not taken adequate notice the first time. It is still the custom to say “Bonjour (how do you do)” and “Au revoir (good-bye)” to one and all when entering or leaving a shop or bar.This is not because the French are excessively polite. It is because they see acknowledging the existence of others as a way of avoiding being rude. For the French manners means civilization. Without rigid formalities, the primitive in them would assuredly assert itself. Kissing is not so much of a feature of French as others supposed. But when it does take place, it must be done properly, according to the rules.The correct order is left cheek, right cheek, left cheek —very formal, very stylized. In Paris four kisses are sometimes permitted: left, right, left, right.1.It can be inferred from the first paragraph that before doing daily work in an office, a French employee will spend some time_____.A.getting to know who has comeB.shaking hands with everyone elseC.reminding other employees of his punctual presenceD.telling other employees what happened the day before正确答案:B2.The French custom requires that, if you have shaken hands with someone, on that day, you should____.A.take notice of his appearanceB.remember who he isC.behave well before himD.avoid shaking hands with him again正确答案:D3.According to the French custom, when you leave a bar, you would say “Au revoir” to____.A.everyone else in the barB.the person you meetC.the barkeeperD.the waiter正确答案:A4.Which of the following statements isTrue according to the last paragraph?A.Four kisses are stylized in Paris.B.Three kisses are forbidden in Paris.C.When two friends meet, the French will not necessarily kiss each other.D.The rules require that the French should kiss each other when they meet.正确答案:C5.The best title for this passage should be ____.A.French GreetingsB.French mannersC.Formalities of Kissing in FranceD.Distinguishing Features of French life正确答案:BThe Monday edition of the USAToday said sixty people have died in 84 crashes since 2000 —more than double the number of crashes during the previous five years. Its study found that more than 10 percent of the U.S. air ambulance helicopters crashed during that time and about two-thirds of the fatal crashes occurred in poor visibility. After reviewing hundreds of pages of documents and interviewing dozens of pilots, federal officials and executives with the companies that operate the flights, USAToday concluded that air ambulance companies have failed to make safety requirements that might have saved lives. It also found that helicopters were used excessively for patients who weren’t severely injured. But the newspaper also noted that there are studies which show that hundreds of lives are saved each year by speedy flights to hospitals. It pointed out, as well, that pilots operate in challenging situations, such as having to land on hospital roofs and being sent on life-and-death tasks to rural accidents scenes despite darkness or bad weather. “I don’t know anybody in this industry who isn’t devoted to safety and devoted to what we do.”Ron Fergie, president of the National EMS Pilots Association, told USAToday.6.Which of the following is true according to the passage?A.10% of the pilots are not qualified to operate helicopters.B.Speedy flights of ambulance helicopters often kill patients.C.There are more fatal ambulance helicopters crashes than before.D.Ambulance helicopters are killing people rather than saving them.正确答案:C7.What conclusion can you make from USAToday concerning the increasing deaths since 2000?A.The pilots of ambulance helicopters should be blamed.B.The air ambulance companies should be blamed.C.Helicopters are not frequently used to save people’s lives.D.There are too many tasks for ambulance helicopters.正确答案:B8.We can learn from the last paragraph that ambulance helicopter pilots often____.A.work by night and in bad weatherB.lose their way in rural areasC.find it hard to locate the patientsD.fail to carry out their tasks well正确答案:A9.What Ron Fergie said may be understood as ____.A.air ambulance industry should take measures to improve its servicesB.people in this industry should fully devote themselves to safetyC.the pilots should be trained further to improve their serviceD.all of his co-workers are highly devoted to their duty正确答案:D10.The attitude of USAToday towards the air ambulance companies is ____.A.appreciativeB.objectiveC.negativeD.critical正确答案:BIt’s five minutes before the exam and you are in a state of fear. You just have to pass it, but how? You didn’t even open the book the night before and you heara voice in your head saying “cheat, cheat,...” so what are you going to do, ignore it and fail or go for it? It’s a tough decision many students must make. Most young people believe that cheating is wrong. However, they have cheated at least once in their high school years. So, why do they do it? Are they too lazy to study? Perhaps, it’s not as simple as that. According to some experts, one main reason why students cheat is that thev see theirs friends get away with it. It has never been easier to cheat than it is today. With all the technology available, students needn’t cheat by looking over their shoulders anymore.They use mobile phones to send answers to each other during a test.There is also the Internet, with hundreds of websites giving tips on the art of cheating in exams. Obviously, if you get caught cheating, you fail the exam. But it doesn’t matter whether you get caught or not. What’s important is that it’s wrong. How can you be proud of something you’ve achieved through cheating? In the end, it’s not about deceiving your teachers or your parents, but about fooling yourself that you can do something you really can’t.11.It is tough for students to make a decision about cheating in an exam because _____.A.it is a matter of failure or successB.they have never cheated beforeC.they didn’t prepare for the examD.it is a matter of honesty or dishonesty正确答案:D12.The phrase “go for it” (Paragraph 1) means ______A.keep order in the exam roomB.take the exam without cheatingC.observe the discipline in the examD.try to pass the exam by cheating正确答案:D13.According to some experts, many students cheat in exams mainly because they _____.A.believe that cheating is not wrongB.are too lazy to get prepared for examsC.follow the example of who succeeded in cheatingD.have cheated at least once in their high school years正确答案:C14.What helps students cheat in exams more easily today?A.Mobile phones andTV sets.B.All the technology available.C.The Internet advising on cheating.D.Devices giving tips on cheating.正确答案:B15.What the author emphasizes about cheating is that _____.A.one will surely fail the exam if he cheatsB.one may get punished if caught cheatingC.it will ruin one’s own pride and honestyD.it will lead to deceiving one’s teachers正确答案:CAt present, it seems impossible to visit the satellites of other stars in search of life. Our present theories of physics indicate that it is impossible to move at a speed greater than that of light. Even at such a speed it would take many years to reach the nearest star that might have planets. Most of such stars are many lifetimes away. Perhaps someday we shall invent ways of traveling or sending messages that will allow man to find other living things in the universe. Even more interesting is the possibility that they may find us. If the steady-state theory of the universe is correct, there must be many “solar systems” that are much older than ours. On some of these, intelligent life may have evolved long ago. If so, these creatures might be exploring the universe today. Serious scientific projects in recent years have been studying the risks with radio telescopes, hoping to find signals sent by such intelligent beings. It has been suggested that the puzzling quasars(类星体) might be the wakes(航迹) left by spaceships traveling faster than light. Thus far, we have found no definite evidence of other intelligent life in the universe. Perhaps we never shall. Yet the search and the hope will remain an exciting possibility for the future.16.Today we can’t visit other stars because _____.A.they have no planets and satellitesB.we can not travel at the speed of lightC.we need further research in physicsD.they are beyond our traveling distance正确答案:D17.The last sentence in the first paragraph suggests _____.A.the speed of light traveling in the universeB.the existence of life on other planetsC.the remoteness of other starsD.the shortness of our life正确答案:C18.According to the author, the existence of intelligent life on the planets or other stars is _____.A.a factB.a possibilityC.a discoveryD.a mystery正确答案:B19.Which of the following isTrue according to the passage?A.Attempts have been made to find life on other planets.B.It seems unlikely that life exists on other planets.C.Intelligent beings from other planets have visited the earth.D.Spaceships have been launched by other intelligent beings.正确答案:A20.As for the evidence of other intelligent life in the universe, the author believes that in the future _____.A.we shall give up hope and stop searching for itB.these creatures will send us signals to confirm itC.it is definitely impossible for us humans to find itD.it is possible for us humans to continue to search for it正确答案:D。

Which of the following is prohibited in Milan?A) Selling wine and spirits to Italian people. B) Drinking wine or spirits.C) Drinking of alcohol by young teenagers. D) Binge-drinking in Milan34. Who will be liable to heavy fines of up to 500 Euros?A) Parents of young teenagers caught drinking wine or spirits.B) Children under the age of 16 drinking wine or spirits.C) 11-year olds who have alcohol related problemsD) Parents of 11-year-olds having alcohol related problems.35. The word “authorities” in paragraph 5 most probably means ______.A) the government B) alcohol police C) local reporter D) alcohol experts36. According to the passage, Milan______.A) is the only city trying to curb binge-drinking.B) is the country’s industrial and financial capital.C) prohibits the sale of alcohol in bars or restaurants.D) prohibits the sale of alcohol, either wine or spirits.37. The difficulty in enforcing a national law to prohibit the sale of alcohol to young teenagers mainly comes from ______.A) young teenagers B) Italian traditionC) protests of bar owners D) parents of teenagersPassage TwoAlthough you may think that bottled water is a safer option than tap, two new reports show that the store-bought stuff is actually less regulated(监管) than the water you getout of your tap almost for free.The food and Drug Administration(FDA) has little authority to regulate bottled brands, according to a U.S. Congressional report released recently.While municipal water utilities are required to provide public reports of test results, bottled-water makers are not. So although you may pay a pretty penny for bottled water, that doen’t mean it’s any better than come out of your tap. In fact, it could be worse and you’d never know it.The new research is backed by a report from the Environmental Working Group. The nonprofit organization surveyed the labels and Web sites of nearly 200 popular bottled-water brands and found that less than 2 percent disclosed thee important facts that can affect safety: the water’s source, purification methods, and chemical pullutants in each bottle.Reaching for the most popular bottled brands isn’t necessarily a solution. In fact, the EWG report says that some of the best-known brand are the least likely to report where the water comes from and what it contains.38. Compared with bottled water, tap water ______.A) contains more pollutants B) has safer water sourceC) is more strictly regulated D) is actually less regulated39. Which of the following is true about bottled water?A) Bottled brands provide test results publicly.B) Most brands of bottled water are regularly tested.C) Purification methods are reliable and adequate.D) Bottled water might contain more pollutants.40. The focus of the survey by the EWG is on ______.A) The labels and Web sites of bottled-water brandsB) the environment of the source of bottled waterC) the important facts related to the safety of waterD) the purification methods to process water41. It may be concluded from this passage that ______.A) the FDA has no right to regulate bottled waterB) people spend much money on bottled water only for safer waterC) most popular bottled brands are found better than less-known ones.D) Bottled water from stores is not necessarily cleaner than tap water42. The author’s attitude towards bottled water tends to be ______.A) positive B) negative C) unclear D) particularPassage ThreeChina will pay dearly if it does not act now to build up an old-age social security system(社保体系),as its population aged 80 or above will hit 83 million by 2050, a population expert, Ma Li, has warned.China formally became an aged society in 2000, when the population aged 60 or above accounted for 10 percent of its 1.3 billion people.With an annual growth rate of 3.7 percent, china’s population aged 80 or above will reach 22 million by 2020, and 83 million by 2050, according to Ma, a deputy(代表) to the 11th NationalPeople’s Congress(NPC).In contrast to developed countries, China entered the aged society while it is still a developing country.“China is not yet ready for the aged society. It does not havea complete old-age social security system. There are not enough resources. Fiscal support is scarce. And the risk is ever rising,” said Ma.The lawmaker said China must act now to set up an old-age social security system that covers both rural and urban population.Such a system should be based on the care of the old people by their families, backed-up by community-level services networks and with old folks homes as a supplement, he said.Ma also stressed that China has the capacity to do that, as its economic structures and level of urbanization are well beyond the stage at which developed countries began to establish old-age social security systems for their rural populations.43. According to the population expert, it is the time for China to ______.A) pay the price for its 83 million aged peopleB) keep its aged population from growing too fastC) look at its own problems as an aged societyD) begin building an old-age social security system44. The phrase “accounted for” in paragraph 2 can be replaced by ______.A) constituted B) explainedC) caused D) produced45. According to Ma, China has entered the aged society but has not ______.A) investigated the situation of the ageing populationB) built a complete old-age social security systemC) noticed the risk of its growing populationD) set up any social organization for the issue46. In Paragraph 6 Ma is mentioned as a “lawmaker” because he ______.A) is a member of NPC B) is a population expertC) works for a law office D) cares about social security47. Which of the following should play the main role in the old-age social security system?A) The community-level services networks. B) The rural and urban old folks homes.C) The family members of the aged people. D) The rural and urban communities. Passage FourPaul Newman was not only a movie star. He was also politically active, and fought for liberal causes. In 1968, he helped the Democratic Party presidential candidate in election. Newman protested the Vietnam War in front of the American Embassy in London. He expressed great pride that he was named on President Ricard Nixon’s list of enemies.Paul Newman also worked on social issues important to him.

In response, Newman created the Scott Newman Center to help educate children and families on preventing drug abuse(吸毒).In the 1980s, Newman decided to start selling a salad dressing(沙拉酱) he had created and given to many friends as gifts. The “Newman’s Own” company he started with his friends A.E. Hotchner became a huge success selling different food products. Over the years, more than two hundred fifty million dollars in company profits have been donated to social causes andorganizations.One of these is the Wall Gang Camp, started by Paul Newman in 1988. Its aim is to provide a free summer camp experience to children with cancer and other serious diseases. There are now camps in the United States and several other countries.

Reading passageNowadays, more and more people are choosing to travel solo. In the past, solo travelers were often seen as brave adventurers or lonely souls seeking solitude. However, solo travel has become increasingly popular in recent years for a variety of reasons.One of the main reasons people choose to travel alone is the freedom it offers. When you travel solo, you can make all the decisions about where to go, what to see, and what to do without having to compromise with anyone else. You can follow your own pace, interests, and preferences without having to consider anyone else's opinions.Another reason solo travel has become popular is the opportunity it provides for personal growth and self-discovery. When you travel alone, you are forced to step out of your comfort zone and rely on yourself to navigate unfamiliar situations. This can help you build confidence, independence, and resilience, and can also provide a sense of empowerment.Additionally, solo travel allows you to meet new people and make new friends more easily. When you are traveling alone, you are more likely to interact with locals and other travelers, as you are not already part of a group. This can lead to meaningful connections and cultural exchanges that would not have been possible if you were traveling with others.Overall, solo travel can be a rewarding and enriching experience that can help you learn more about yourself and the world around you. Whether you are looking for adventure, personal growth, or simply a break from your daily routine, traveling alone can be a great way to achieve your goals and create lasting memories.2. Questionsa.

Marriage isn’t just associated with happiness—it brings happiness ;at least for a lot of us. One 2003 study that followed24;000 people for more than a decade showed a significant increase in happiness after people married. For some ;the happiness increase wore off in a few years; and they ended up back at their premarriage happiness levels.

Many companies have announced plans to build plants that would take in material like wood chips; garbage or crop waste and turn out motor fuels. For decades scientists have known it was possible to convert waste to fuel. But success is far from assured .Some of the latest announcements come from small companies whose dreams may be bigger than their bank accounts.They are counting on billions in government funds.Big technological problems remain; and even if they can be solved ;no one is sure what unintended consequences will emerge or what it will really cost to produce this type of fuel.Virtually any material containing hydrogen; carbon and oxyen could potentially be turned into motor fuel. That includes plastics; construction debris废渣;forest and lawn trimming修剪下来的废料;wood chips;wheat straw and many other types of agricultural waste.The potential fuels include ethanol乙醇;which can be blended with gasoline;orother liquids that could displace gasoline entirely.Much of the new money flowing into the field is coming from Silicon V alley;where the venture capitalists who gave the world the Internet revolution see an opportunity to do something silimar with the fuel supply.What has been done is small in the scheme of American fuel demand;but it may set the stage for important growth if whose first projects prove that the economics can work.31.How successful is the development of a waste-to-fuel industry in the United StatesA.Motor fuel has been turned out in large quantity.B.A breakthrogh in the industry is highly expected.C.There have been only several false starts so far .D.The industry is supported by the government.32.According to the author ;even if technological

fuel34.Which of the following is considered as potential fuel to replace gasolineA.EthanolB.LiquidsC.Constrution debrisD.Agricultural waste35.The venture caplitalists are willing to invest in the waste-to-fuel industry because_______A.it is connected with the InternetB.it will increase fuel demandC.it is silimar with the fuel supplyD.it emerges as a big opportunityPassage FourQuestions 36 to 40 are based on the following passage.Auto crashes have decreased in recent years;but the number of deaths in crashes still average around 40;000 every year.Amuch higher number of crashes result in permanent disability.Because car crashes are usually caused by human errors ;it’s always necessary to remind drivers of the following safety tips;A void distractions注意力分散——safe driving takes concentration.If a driver is talking on a mobile phone;that driver isn’t paying enough attention to th e road.Distracted driving is a factor in 25 to 30 percent of all traffic crashes.Take extra care in wild weather ----Sometimes ;bad weather conditions will contribute to an accident by interfering with visibility or making it difficult to keep the car under control .A driver always should take the effects of the weather ;such as strong winds or slippery roads;into consideration when driving.A void sleepiness ---Sleepy driving causes more than 100;000 crashes each year;resulting in 40;000 injuries and 1;550deaths on average .On summer road trips;set realistic goals for the traveling distance each day.Stop at regular intervals when driving long distances.Keep a good mood ----Reduce stress on the road by allowing plenty of time for travel ;planning your route in advance ;and altering your route to avoid over –crowded roads.Remember not to challenge aggressive 咄咄逼人的drivers and stay far away from them.Keep your car well maintained------Ultimately;safety also depends on the maintenance of your car.Ensure that car brakes;tires;lights and battery are in good working order.36.According to the first paragraph;______A.the number of people who died in auto crashes has increasedB.there is a rise in the number of auto crashes in recent yearsC.auto accident death rate

from sleepy driving.40.It can be concluded from the passage that______.A.most of the auto crashes can be avoided if drivers always keep safety in mind.B.if drivers can remember these safety tips;no auto crashes will happen to them.C.we are all human and auto crashes caused by human errors can’t be avoidedD.we can avoid auto crashes as long as distractions and sleepy driving are avoided.PartⅢTranslation from English into ChineseDirections: In this part;there are five items;and four of them are taken from the reading passage you have just read.Below each;there are five Chinese

Each passed is followed by five 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 center.Passage OneQuestions 21 to 25 are based on the following passage.A range of new commuting bikes are promising to make everyday travel by bicycle as comfortable and fashionable as it is cheap. They also allow you to combine workout 锻炼with transportation. “It’s convenient; it keeps me fit; and it saves money;” says Scott Infanger ; a professor at the University of North Alabama; who regularly bikes his daughter; Elizabeth;7; to school on the way to his nearby office.Bike stores and manufactures across the nation are reporting a significant rise lately in sales. “They’re selling out of all the commuting bikes --- all bikes; actually --- that they can get their hands on;” says Bill Fields; a consultant who has fol lowed the bicycle industry for decades. Fields predicts a 20 percent increase in the “comfort bikes”; which includes commuting bikes; by the end of the year.One big block to a rise in bike commuting is a concern about safety. In 2006;773 people were killed bicycling; and tens of thousands injured. Rutgers researchers who compared the safety of walking; biking; and driving found that; per kilometer traveled; bicycle fatalities 死亡人数were 11 times higher than car fatalities.Still; experts say; the story has another side. In the Rutgers study; the rate of pedestrian行人fatalities associated with walking on the sidewalk was a full 36 times higher than car fatalities. One Danish study published in the Archives of Internal Medicine found that because of the health benefits of bicycle commuting; the death rate among noncyclists was 39 percent higher than among the bikers.21. According to Professor Infanger; bike commuting is ___A economical; comfortable; and convenientB fast; economical; and healthyC convenient; healthy; and economicalD convenient; fashionable; and healthy22. Which of the following shows that more and more people travel by bikeA It is difficult for customers to buy bicycles.B There is a 20 percent increase in production.C All bikes are actually sold out in the nation.D Bike stores do not have many bicycles in stores.23. According to the passage; more people will consider bike commuting if ____ .A bikes are made more comfortableB they live closer to where they workC there is less concern about its safetyD they travel within one kilometer24. The Rutgers study shows that it is most dangerous____.A to travel by drivingB to become a cyclistC to travel by bicycleD to walk on the sidewalk25. By saying “the story has another side”; the experts probably mean that ____.A the benefits of cycling outweigh the risksB bicycling is more dangerous than drivingC it may not be worthwhile to take the risksD cycling to not dangerous on the sidewalkPassage TwoQuestions 26 to 30 are base on the following passage.Once in Britain; family members would all get annoyed at the phone call while watching TV programs like The Two Ronnies. This does not often happen now ---- we are either twice as smart or twice as inattentive as we used to be.Ofcom’s research demonstrates that the British have become a nation of media junkies 成瘾者. Now they spend more time on the Internet and do much net visiting while watching television. It is unlikely that the whole family will be in the living room these days ---- unless Doctor Who is on.Ofcom’s data show that despite all the distractions 分心offered by the Internet; which were supposed to threaten the basis of television viewing; the British remain fixed to the small screen.The average time spent in front of TV fixed at three hours and 38 minutes a day; only six minutes down from 2003. Radio listening has suffered a little more in that time; but every person still spends a further 2 hours and 44 minutes a day with the radio on in the background.What has changed is that traditional media no longer occupy all attention for those under 45.About a third of 16 to 44-year-olds admit to using their computer while watching television. W ell over half of them will pick up the mobile when watching EastEnders.It’s a change in habits making us worry about the change of tradition ---- but in reality it’s a natural response to the increase media.26. The TV program that probably appeals to all family members now is ____.A The T wo RonniesB a traditional programC EastEndersD Doctor Who27. According to the passage; people used to ____.A be less smart than they are nowB sit down and watch TV with their familyC pay less attention to whatever they didD be reluctant to make telephone calls28. The Ofcom’s research shows that the British now ____.A are used to visiting the Internet while watching TVB spend 5 times as much time on the Internet as 4 years agoC visit the Internet much more often than they watch TVD prefer the Internet to TV for their information29. How much time did the average British spend a day in front of TV in 2003A Two hours and 44 minutes.B Three hours and 44 minutes.C Three hours and six minutes.D Two hours and six minutes.30. Ofcom’s data show that the habit of those under 45 has changed so that they ____.A tend to pay attention to more than one thing at a timeB never gather in front of TV to watch the same programC would rather stay with traditional media attentivelyD are always talking to someone on the mobile phonePassage ThreeQuestions 31 to 35 are based on the following passage.Tiny people might be living inside of your computer ---- eating; sleeping; and going to school just like you do. But don’t be alarmed: This civilization isn’t real. The people are characters from the game The Sims; the best-selling creation of Will Wright’s.After graduation; Wright got a job working on a typical fighting video game called Raid on Bungeling Bay. In this game; the player drops bombs on a city. Wright found that his favorite part of the design process was creating the landscape 风景; not destroying it.Wright’s dream; like that of many of his friends; was to produce his own video game. He designed SimCity; but for years couldn’t find anyone willing to invest the money needed to put it on the market. Then one day; he met computer-game producer Jeff Braun; who loved the idea of a noncombative 非打斗的game. Together they formed a small company—and a whole new type of video games called “simulation 模拟reality” that allow players to build virtual societies. SimCity came out soon; followed by The Sims eleven years later.“W e spend a lot of time doing research before we start making the games — usu ally about a year or two;” says Wright. “For my latest game; Spore; I started the research process about six years ago.”Today; Wright employs a large team of computer programmers; designers; and graphic artists to help him bring his ideas to life. He owes his success to three things: his curiosity; his persistence; and his team.31. What did Will Wright create in The SimsA A best-selling movie.B A complicated computer.C A virtual society.D A fighting video game.32. Wright’s first jo b after graduation annoyed him because ____.A he had to work on a video gameB he preferred creating to destroying。

Sales associates represent their company and may make a lasting impression. They listen to customers to understand their needs, tell them about products and answer their questions. Here are some key things every sales associate needs to do.Paragraph 2Whether you see customers enter the store or notice them walking around looking at products, welcome them to the store. Greet them with a smile as it can help them feel good and will give a good first impression of the store. Here are some ideas of how to greet your customers: “Are you enjoying your afternoon?”, “How did you hear about us?”, and “How’s your day going?”Paragraph 3In order to help customers, you need to understand what they need and want. Start a conversation by asking them a question. Instead of controlling the conversation, let them tell you their needs. When you have a clear idea of what they want, it will be easier for you to recommend a product or service.Paragraph 4When a customer asks you a question, make sure you’ve carefully considered how to answer it. For example, instead of saying “I don’t know,” you may say, “That’s a great question. Let me look into it for you.” Instead of saying “The item is over there,” say, “Let me show you where it is.”Paragraph 5You must have a good understanding of your company’s products and services. Sales associates often have to answer customers’ questions. A good knowledge of the products and services will help you serve your potential customers. If a customer has a problem that you can solve, give them a product recommendation. Use your product knowledge to determine which product best suits their needs and interests.第5页(试卷共9页)Questions 21-25Read the passage and choose the best heading for each paragraph from the list in the box.
