Slowly, as she worked on the long list, she began tofeel uncertain. She began to question some of her decisions. Had she used the best technique in that case? Maybe, in this case, she should have run one more test before operating? On the other hand, maybe she should have … Would the doctors on the selection committee understand that, as the only trained surgeon in the area, she usually could not get advice from others and therefore, had to rely completely on her own judgment? For the first time, Dr. Ginoux felt lonely and isolated.The longer Dr. Ginoux worked on the application forms, the more depressed she became. As hope fa ded, she wondered if a “country doctor” had a realistic chance of being accepted by the American College of Surgeons.(1).Dr. Ginoux was working in _______.A. a large cityB. the American College of SurgeonsC. an area far from any big cityD. a selective organization(2).The application forms must include ___.A. the decision procedureB. a record of all the operations.C. the best techniqueD. a list of advice and judgments(3).It was most probable that Dr. Ginoux was ____A. a member in that organizationB. a well-trained surgeonC. a graduate from the American College of SurgeonsD. a distinguished surgeon in America(4).When she was filling the application froms, Dr. Ginoux began to be____.A. realisticB. distinguishedC. perplexedD. decisive(5).When filling the forms, Dr. Ginoux felt depressed because _____.A. she didn’t perform enough operationsB. some operations were unsuccessfulC. she didn’t get advice from the selection committeeD. she was doubtful about her operations2.An important new industry, oil refining, grew after the Civil War. Crude oil, or petroleum – a dark, thick ooze from the earth – had been known for hundreds of years. But little use had ever been madeof it. In the 1850’s Samuel M. Kier, a manufactur er in the western Pennsylvania, began collecting the oil from local seepages andrefining it into kerosene, Refining, like smelting, is a process of removing impurities from a raw material.Kerosene was used to light lamps. It was a cheap substitute for whale oil, which was becoming harder to get. Soon there was a large demand for kerosene. People began to search for new supplies of petroleum.The first oil well was drilled by E. L. Drake, a retired railroad conductor. In 1859 he began drilling in Titusville, Pennsylvania. The whole venture seemed so impractical and foolish that onlookers called it “Drake’s Folly”. But when he had drilled down about 70 feet (21 meters), Drake struck oil. His well began to yield 20 barrels ofcrude oil a day.News of Drake’s success brought oil prospectors to the scene. By the early 1860’s these wildcatters were drilling for “black gold” all over western Pennsylvania. The boom rivaled the California gold rush of 1848 in its excitement and Wild West atmosphere. And it brought far more wealth to the prospectors than any gold rush.Crude oil could be refined into many products. For some years kerosene continued to be the principal one. It was sold in grocerystores and door-to-door. In the 1880’s refiners learned how to make other petroleum products such as waxes and lubricating oils. Petroleum was not then used to make gasoline or heating oil.(1).Which of the following is the best title for the passage?A. Oil Refining: A Historical PerspectiveB. The California Gold Rush: Get Rich QuicklyC. Private Property: Trespassers Will Be ProsecutedD. Kerosene Lamps: Trespassers Will Be Prosecuted(2).It can be inferred from the passage that Kerosene was preferable to whale oil because whale oil was too ________.A. expensiveB. thickC. hotD.polluted(3).Why does the author mention the California gold rush?A. to explain the need for an increased supply of goldB. toindicate the extent of United States mineral wealth C. to describethe mood when oil was first discovered D. to argue that gold was more valuable than oil(4).The word “one” in the second sentence of the last paragraph could best be replaced by which of the following words?A. oilB. doorC. storeD. product(5).The author mentions all of the following as possible products of crude oil EXCEPTA. waxB. gasolineC. KeroseneD. plastic答案：一、单项选择题（80分，共 40 题，每小题 2 分）1. C2. D3. D4. C5. A6. A7. A8. D9. B 10. C 11. C 12. A 13. A14. A 15. C 16. B 17. B 18. D 19. B 20. C 21. C 22. C 23. A 24. A 25.C 26. A 27.D 28. B 29.

Speak English with friends first because with them you can speak freely without feeling shy.Then try your ability with your teachers and with foreigners if you have an opportunity to meet them. Don’t be a fraid of mist ak es. Nobody is above mistakes; and don’t be afraid to ask questions about things you don’t know. This is the way to acquire knowle dge.Not until you begin to think in English rather than Chinese can you be said to know the language. This is not a superhuman ac hievement—only a question of practice. Thinking in English will help you to truly understand how the language is spoken.Read novels to build vocabulary, thus gaining confidence. Start with small volumes of 30 to 40 pages. Write down any new wor d you discover and look it up in your dictionary. Learn how to use the new word by making sentences with it. Bring the word to your teacher to have it explained more fully.Don’t be angry when you learn a new word today and forget it tomorrow. To forget is a natural proces s; to remember is unnatu ral and requires effort. Of 10 new words learnt in a day,only two or three will remain in the memory. The others you will forget and have to relearn.When learning them for the second time, they will come more easily, and this time you probably will remember nearly all of th em. A small minority, however, may elude you again, and have to be learnt for a third time. Constant repetition is necessary.[共5题](1) You can gain confidence by speaking English with the following people but ______? [本题2分](A) foreigners (B) teachers (C) family members (D) friends正确答案：C(2) When can you be said to know English? [本题2分](A) When you have confidence with English. (B) When you have built vocabulary.(C) When you can think in English. (D) When you are not afraid to ask questions.正确答案：C(3) We can build vocabulary in the following ways except ______. [本题2分](A) reading novels (B) often speaking with foreigners (C) constant repetition of new words(D) looking up the new words in a dictionary, making sentences with them, etc.正确答案：B(4) What are suggested to do if you always forget the new words? [本题2分](A) To relearn constantly. (B) To practice more. (C) To read novels. (D) To be angry.正确答案：A(5) What's the best title for the passage? [本题2分](A) Thinking in English (B) Learning New Words(C) Ways to Gain Confidence with English (D) Communicating in English正确答案：C42.The other day I asked a group of my students how they like to learn English. The first person to speak up was Max. This was no surprise—unlike many Hong Kong students, Max has never been reluctant to speak.―I like to learn by speaking,‖ said Max. ―I specially love to speak to native English speakers when I can find them. I try to tal k to my friends in English, too. Um, what else? I like to watch TV and movies in English, and I like to learn new words by heari ng them.‖―How about you?‖ I asked Veronica. ―Do you like to learn in these ways?‖―Oh, no,‖ she said, ―I could never learn like that. I need to have a textbook, and I like the teacher to explain everything t o me.I have a notebook, and I write everything down. I like to study grammar, and I like to learn by reading. Max says he likes to lea rn new words by hearing them. I like to learn new words by seeing.‖Veronica’s classmate Jackie was more similar to Max. She said she liked to learn by watching movies and videos. She also like d playing games, listening to cassettes, talking in pairs and practicing English outside the classroom. The last person to give his opinion was Joseph. Like Veronica, he liked to study grammar, although he did n’t feel the same need to have a teacher. He liked to learn independently to find his own mistakes, and to readbooks and newspapers.These four people correspond to f our learner ―types‖ that a former colleague of mine, Ken Willing, found in a study he did som e years ago. Max can be classified as a ―communicative‖ learner, Veronica as ―authority-oriented‖, Jackie as a ―concrete‖ learner, an d Joseph as an ―analytical‖ one.[共5题](1) Max likes to learn English by ______. [本题2分](A) always speaking in English (B) learning new words by hearing them(C) watching TV and movies in English (D) All of the above.正确答案：D(2) Who likes to learn English by watching movies and videos?

(B) Four different types of English learner.(C) How will the teachers do with the four types of learner?(D) I enjoy teaching my students.正确答案：B43.Satellites are an important part of our ordinary lives. For example, the information for weather forecasts is sent by satellite. Som e satellites have cameras which take photographs of the Earth to show how clouds are moving. Satellites are also used to connect o ur international phone calls.Computer connections of the World Wide Web and Internet also use satellites. Many of our TV programs come to us through sa tellites. Airplane pilots also sometimes use a satellite to help them find their exact location.We use satellites to send television pictures from one part of the world to another. They are usually 35,880 kilometers above the equator. Sometimes we can see a satellite in the sky and it seems to stay in the same place. This is because it is moving around the world at 11,000 kilometers an hour—exactly the same speed that the earth rotates. A satellite must orbit the Earth with its anten nae (天线) facing the Earth. Sometimes, it moves away from its orbit, so there are little rockets on it which are used to put the sat ellite back in the right position. This usually happens about every five or six days.Space is not empty! Every week, more and more satellites are sent into space to orbit the Earth. A satellite usually works for a bout 10-12 years. Satellites which are broken are sometimes repaired by astronauts or sometimes brought back to Earth to be repaire d. Often, very old or broken satellites are left in space toorbit the Earth for a very long time. This is very serious because some s atellites use nuclear power (核动力) and they can crash into each other.[共5题](1) Which of the following is NOT done by satellites according to the passage? [本题2分](A) Sending information for weather forecasts. (B) T aking photographs of the Earth.(C) Sending TV pictures. (D) Providing food for airplane pilots.正确答案：D(2) What’s the speed the Earth rotates at? [本题2分](A) 35,880 kilometers per hour. (B) 335,880 kilometers per hour.(C) 11,000 kilometers per hour. (D) 111,000 kilometers per hour.正确答案：C(3) What does the underlined word ―This‖ in paragraph 3 refer to? [本题2分](A) A satellite.(B) A little rocket.(C) A satellite seems to stay in the same place in the sky.(D) The satellite puts the rockets in the right position.正确答案：C(4) How would the very old and broken satellites be dealt with? [本题2分](A) They will be repaired by astronauts.(B) They will be left in space to orbit the Earth for a very long time.(C) They will be brought back to Earth to be repaired.(D) They will be made to crash into each other.正确答案：B(5) What’s the proper title for this passage? [本题2分](A) The ABC about Satellites (B) Satellites Using Nuclear Power(C) The Speed of Satellites (D) How to Deal With Satellites When They are Old and Broken?正确答案：A44.Experienced riders who are not too large and fancy taking part in some of the festive season’s most famous race meetings coul d be in for an unexpected surprise.This year’s national hunt racing season could be overshadowed because the sport’s shortest athletes are facing a shortage of a dif ferent kind. The number of national hunt jockeys (职业赛马骑师) has fallen from 123 in 1995 to 70—but the number of meetings has increased. Now officials are issuing a plea to any keen riders t o apply to the Jockey Club, racing’s governing body (理事会), f or a license to take part in some of the country’s leading meetings.While meetings are unlikely to be abandoned, some races might only involve three horses. Racing officials fear that jockeys mig ht not be able to get to all of the meetings in time, particularly on Boxing Day, when there will be nine, and on New Year’s Day, when there will be six.National hunt racing is open to professional and amateur (业余的) jockeys. Those who think they have the relevant credentials (证明书) need to have extensive riding experience, weigh under 10 stone (63 kg) and stand at around 5 ft 8 in (173cm). Once the Jockey Club has approved the license the riders are free to take part in any national hunt race and pit (使竞争) their wits against the likes of Tony McCoy. Racing officials believe that the shortage has cone about because Britons are getting bigger and there are fewer people who meet the sport’s height and weight requirements.A spokesman for the Jockey Club said: ―There are fewer jockeys who are getting a greater number of rides but at least that me ans they are able to earn a good living.‖ He added: ―We are keeping an eye on the situation. Any sport thrives on new blood and young talent coming through.‖ It is no t a case of horse racing being less fashionable but being a jockey is a very demanding lifesty le, particularly in terms of truing to keep your weight down. People are now heavier and bigger and maybe some just find it too h ard to be a jockey.[共5题](1) W hat does the underlined word ―overshadow‖ in paragraph 3 mean?

Treasure hunts（寻宝）have excited people''''s imagination for hundreds of years both in real life and in books such as Robert Louis Stevenson''''s Treasure Island．Kit Williams，a modern writer，hadthe idea of combining the real excitement of a treasure hunt with clues（线索）found in a book when he wrote a children''''s story，Masquerade，in 1979．The book was about a hare，and a month before it came out Williams buried a gold hare in a park in Bedfordshire．The book contained a large number of clues to help readers find the hare，but Williams put in a lot of “red herrings”，or false clues，to mislead them．Ken Roberts，the man who found the hare，had been looking for it for nearly two years．Although he had been searching in the wrong area most of the time，he found it by logic（逻辑），not by luck．His success came from the fact that he had gained an important clue at the start．He had realized that the words：“One of Six to Eight” under the first picture in the book connected the hare in some way to Katherine of Aragon，the first of Henry VIII''''s six wives．Even here，however，Williams had succeeded in misleading him．Ken knewthat Katherine of Aragon had died at Kimbolton in Cambridge shire in 1536 and thought that Williams had buried the hare there．He had been digging there for over a year before a new idea occurred to him．He found out that Kit Williams had spent his childhood near Ampthill，in Bedfordshire，and thought that he must have buried the hare in a place he knew well，but he still could not see the connection with Katherine of Aragon，until one day he came across two stone crossesin Ampthill Park and learnt that they had been built in her honor in 1773．Even then his search had not come to an end．It was only after he had spent several nights digging around the cross that he decided towrite to Kit Williams to find out if he was wasting his time there．Williams encouraged him to continue，and on February 24th 1982，he found the treasure．It was worth ￡3000 in the beginning，but the excitement it had caused since its burial made it much more valuable．What is the most important clue in the story to help Ken Robertsfind the hare？A. Two stone crosses in Ampthill．B. Stevenson''''s Treasure Island．C. Katherine of Aragon．D. Williams'''' hometown．22.

Mom was always worried about my health, therefore （） departure, she prepared a lot of medicine for me.A. uponB. inC. whenD. at30. I came across an old country guide the other day. It listed all the tradesmen in each village in my part of the country, and it was impressive to see the great variety of services which were available on one'''' s own doorstep in the late Victorian countryside.Nowadays a superficial traveller in rural England might conclude that the village tradesmen still flourishing were either selling frozen food to the inhabitants or selling antiques to visitors. Nevertheless, this would really be a false impression. Admittedly there has been a contraction （收缩） of village commerce, but its vigor is still remarkable.Our local grocer''''s shop, for example, is actually expanding inspite of the competition from supermarkets in the nearest town. Women sensibly prefer to go there and exchange the local news while doing their shopping, instead of queuing （排队） up at a supermarket. And the proprietor （店主） knows well that personal service has a substantial cash value.His prices may be a bit higher than those in the town, but he will deliver anything at any time. His assistants think nothing ofbicycling on the village street in their lunch hour to take a pieceof cheese to an old age pensioner （领养老金） who sent her order by word of mouth with a friend who happened to be passing. The more affluent customers telephone their shopping lists and the goods areon their doorsteps within an hour. They have only to hint at a fancy for some commodity outside the usual stock and the grocer, a red-faced figure, instantly obtains it for them.The village gains from this sort of enterprise, of course. But I also find it satisfactory because a village shop offers one of the few ways in which a modest individualist can still get along in the world without attaching himself to the big battalions of industry or commerce. Another aspect of personal service available in the village shop is that________A. there is a very wide range of goods availableB. rare goods are obtained whenever they are neededC. special attention is given to the needs of wealthier customersD. goods are always restocked before they run out31. The （）_ of invitation vary in different parts of the United States.A. consumeB. consultC. customsD. cultural32. Where are you going to have the TV set （）?A. repairB. repairingC. repairedD. to repair33. To show that he has （） the scandal, the senate is ready to coperate the FBI agents.A. nothing to do withB. anything to do withC. nothing to deal withD. anything to deal with34. We apologize for any ( ) caused by the lack of housekeeping services.A. InconvenienceB. ConvenienceC. InconvenientD. convenient35. As they ( ) newspapers for a long time, they knew nothing about the world.A. hadn't readB. didn't readC. haven't readD. don't read36.

Mr. Harris used to work in Dover, but then he changed his work, and he and his wife moved to another town.

Then we can start to invite people tod inner in small numbers next month.”So Mrs. Harris said, “Yes, I’ll invite all our friends here to abig party on 5th December.”“How many will that be?” Mr. Harris asked. “Don’t invite too many.”Mrs. Harris was beginning to write the invitations when her husband saw that she was writing, “Party: 6:30 to 8:30 p.m.”“That isn’t very nice, is it?” he said. “You’re telling our guests that they must go at 8:30.” So Mrs. Harris just wrote “Party: 6:30 p.m.”A lot of guests came, and they all had a good time, so they did notgo home at 8:30. In fact they were still there at mid-night when the door bell rang and a policeman arrived. He said, “You must stop making a noise, because someone has complained（抱怨）.”Mr. Harris said he did not want to quarrel with the policeman, so everyone went home. They were sorry to have to go.When Mr. and Mrs. Harris were alone again, she said to him. “Thatwas a surprise, wasn’t it? Who complained about the noise?”“I did,” Mr Harris answered in a tired voice.

And so people thought that each part of the brain does a different job. But modem research discovered that this is not so, for it is not easy to show exactly what each part of the brain does.In the past fifty years there has been a great increase in the amount of research done on the brain. Scientists have found out the way the brain works is not so simple as people in general may think. Chemists fell us that about 100,000 chemical changes take place in the brain every second. Some recent researches also suggest that we can remember everything that happens to us. We, may not be able to think of the things we have heard and seen, but it is kept there in the storehouse (宝库) of the human brain. Earlier scientists thought that is not true. As long as the brain is given plenty of exercise,it keeps its power. It has been proved that an old person who has always been active in the mind has a quicker mind than a young person who has only done physical work without using much of his brain.(1). In the 19th century, scientist found that a person would lose the power to do certain things( ).A.when he got weaker in healthB.if certain parts of his brain were hurtC.after he did a quite different jobD. when he grew older(2). Scientists today are still unable to show exactly ( ).A.what each part of the brain is doingB.how many chemical changes take place in the brain each secondC.whether each part of the brain does the same jobD. which part of the brain is the most important(3). It has been found that one's brain usually works ( )A.faster when he is oldB.a little now and a little thenC.in a very simple wayD. without any rest all day long(4). Which of the following is NOT true according to the text? ( )A.Scientists are working hard at the researches on the brain.As many as six million chemical changes take place in the brain every minute.C.A young man doing physical labor is sure to have a much slower mind. D. Even an old man may have a quick mind if his brain is given much exercise.(5). The more work we give to our brains( ).A.the less result we will gainB.the more work they are able to doC.the weaker their power will getD. the more tired they will feel2.In the United States, it is not customary to telephone someone very early in the morning. If you telephone him early in the day, while he is shaving or having breakfast, the time of the call shows that the matter is very important and requires immediate attention. The same meaning is attached to telephone calls made after 11:00 p.m. If someone receives a call during sleeping hours, he assumes(想当然地认为)it''s a matter of life and death. The time chosen for the call communicates its importance.In social life, time plays a very important part. In the U.S.A. guests tend to feel they are not highly regarded if the attention to a dinner party is extended only three or four days before the party date. But it is not true in all countries. In other areas of the world, it may be considered foolish to make an appointment too far in advance because plans which are made for adate more than a week away tend to be forgotten. The meaning of time differs in different parts of the world. Thus, misunderstandingsarise(产生) between people from cultures that treat time differently. Promptness is valued highly in American life, for example. If people are not prompt, they may be regarded as impolite or not fully responsible. In the U.S. no one would think if keeping a business associate waiting for an hour. It would be too impolite. A person who is 5 minutes late is expected to make a short apology. If he is less than 5 minutes late, he will say a few words of explanation, though perhaps he will not complete the sentence.(1). "The same meaning is attached to telephone calls after 11:00p.m." Here "attached" means ( )A. TakenB.C.GivenD. shown(2). According to this passage, time plays an important role in ( )A.everyday lifeB.school lifeC.communicationD. private life(3). The best title for this passage is ( )A.The Voice of TimeB.The Importance of TimeC.The Importance of an AnnouncementD. Time and Tide Wait for No Man3.Every year just after Christmas the January Sales start. All the shops reduce their prices and for two weeks, they are full of people looking for bargains. My husband and I do not normally go to the sales as we don’t like crowds and in any case are short of mon ey as we have to buy lots of Christmas presents.Last year, however, I took my husband with me to the sales at the large shop in the center of London. We both needed some new clothes and were hoping to find a television set. When we got to station. So I left my husband and started looking around the shops. Unfortunately all the clothes were in very large sizes and so were not suitable for me. But I did buy a television at a very cheap price, so I felt quite pleased with myself.When I arrived at the station, my husband was not there. So I sat down in a nearby cafe to have a cup of tea. I quickly finished my tea when I saw my husband and went out to meet him. He looked very happy. Then I saw he was carrying a large and heavy cardboard box. “Oh, dear!” I thoug ht. Yes, we had no new clothes but two televisions. We shall not be going to the sales again.(1).

That’s where the l anguage was first spoken. But England is often called by other names. This often confuses people and I wonder if you know what these names mean. So, now Iwould like to tell you about this matter of names. I believe that you have heard people use the names—England, Britain or Great Britain. Let’s see what each of these names means.If you look at a map of Europe, you’ll see a group of islands—one larger island off the northwest coast, one smaller and many tiny ones. These make up what is called the British Isles (不列颠群岛). The largest island of the British Isles is Britain. It is also called Great Britain. The smaller island is Ireland (爱尔兰).Britain is divided into three parts: Scotland, Wales and England. But sometimes the Word “England” is used instead of “Britain”. Why so?In ancient times, what is Britain now used to be three different countries. People in These different countries spoke different language. Over many years the three countries became one. England is the largest and richest of the three and it has the most people. So the English people take it for granted that their own name stands for the whole island.There’s another thing that confuses people: sometimes you may hear people say “the Untied Kingdom of GreatBritain and Northern Ireland”. That is official name of the country. Northern Ireland is only one sixth of the island of Ireland. The rest of the island is an independent state, called the Republic of Ireland. So we have the names of “England”, “Britain”, “Great Britain”, and “the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland”. Now do you know what each of them means?(1). English was first spoken in ( )A.BritainB.EnglandC.Great BritainD. Ireland(2). Britain is divided into( )A.England, Britain, and WalesB.England, Scotland, and WalesC.Wales, Scotland, and Great BritainD. Great Britain, Wales, and Scotland(3). According to the passage, which of the following statements istrue?A.Wales is the richest of the threeB.Scotland is the largest of the threeC.Sometimes English is used instead of BritainD. Britain is the only name of the largest island of British Isles(4). The United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland is ( )A.part of BritainB.part of British IslesC.the official name of the whole country EnglandD. the largest country of all mentioned in the passage(5). Which of the following is an independent country?A. WalesB. ScotlandC. Northern IrelandD. The Republic of Ireland5.They think they''re lucky that they''re living and it''s Christmas again. They can''t see that we live on a dirty street in a shabby house among people who aren''t much good. Johnny and the children can''t see how pitiful it is that our neighbors have to make happiness out of this filth and dirt. My children must get out of this. But how? The money that we''ve saved isn''t nearly enough. The McGaritys have money, but they are show-offs with it. The McGarity girl just yesterday stood out there in the street eating from a bag of cookies while a ring of hungry children watched her. I saw those children looking at her and crying in their hearts, and when she couldn''t eat any more, she shrew the rest down the sewer(阴沟). Miss Jackson who teaches at the Settlement House isn''t rich, but she knows things. She understands people. Her eyes look straight into yours when she talks with you. Everybody else here looks away because they''re ashamed(羞愧)of their lives. I''d like to see the children be like Miss Jackson when they grew up.(1).

The writer hopes that her children will become teachers.(5). What is Ms Jackson?A. She is a teacher in the district.B. She is a rich lady in the district.C. She works for the poor.D.

One way is to teach students how to learn more effectively and efficiently. Learning strategies are "Procedures or techniquesthat learners can use to facilitate a learning task." Instructing students of English in learning strategies can help them becomebetter learners. In addition, skill in using learning strategies assists students in becoming independent, confident learners. Finally, students become more motivated as they begin to understand the relationship between their use of strategies and success in learning English. Students need to develop an awareness of the learningprocess and strategies that lead to success. Students who reflect on their own thinking are more likely to engage in planning how to proceed with a learning task, monitoring their own performance on an ongoing basis, finding solutions to problems encountered, andevaluating themselves upon task completion. These activities may be difficult for students accustomed to having a teacher who solves all their learning problems and is the sole judge of their progress. Teachers need to encourage students to rely more on themselves. Because learning strategies are mental processes with few observable manifestations, teachers need to find ways to make the strategies as concrete as possible. When students are able to use the strategies their teachers have taught them, and to do so without prompting, then they need to explore new strategies, new applications, and new opportunities for self-regulated learning.(1). Better learning strategies can make language learning more( ).A. funB.interestingC.efficientD.exciting(2). Students who reflect on their own ( )will be more successful in learning.A. thinkingB.evaluationC.performanceD. activities(3). Teachers should encourage students to rely more on ( )A. booksB.notesC.tutorsD.themselves(4). Learning strategies are unobservable mental processes, so teachers should make them ( )A.simplerB.more familiarC.more concreteD. more applicable(5). Which of the following statements is true? ( )A. Students learn learning strategies from the teachers only.B.Learning strategies are completely unobservable.C.Students need to explore new learning strategies for themselves.D.Teache rs are the sole judges of students’ progress.2. Most animals have little connection with animals of different kind, unless they hunt them for food. Sometimes, however, two kinds of animals come together in a partnership ( 伙伴关系 ) which does goodto both of them. You may have noticed some birds sitting on the backs of sheep. This is not because they want a ride, but because they find easy food in the parasites （寄生虫 ) on sheep. The sheep allow the birds to do so because they remove the cause of discomfort. So although they can manage without each other, they do better together. Sometimes an animal has a plant partner. The relationship develops until the two partners cannot manage without each other. This is so in the corals (珊瑚) of the sea. In their skins they havetiny plants act as "dustman", taking some of the waste products form the corals and giving inreturn oxygen which the animal needs to breathe. If the plants are killed, or are ever prevented from lighting so that they cannot live normally, the corals will die.(1). Some birds like to sit ona sheep because ( ).A. they can eat its parasitesB. they depend on the sheep for existenceC. they enjoy traveling with the sheepD. they find the position most comfortable(2). The underlined word "they" in the last sentence of the first paragraph refers to ( ).A. birds and parasitesB. birds and sheepC. parasites and sheepD. sheep, birds and parasites(3). What does the second paragraph mainly discuss? ( )A. Some animals and plants depend on each other for existence.B. Some animals and plants develop their relationship easily.C. Some plants depend on each other for fooD. Some animals live better together.(4). What does this article talk about? ( )A. Two kinds of animals for a partnership.B. Most animals only have connection with animals.C. The connection between the living things.D. Corals have some connection with plants.3. Exercise is one of the few factors with a positive role in long-term maintenance of body weight. Unfortunately, that message has not gotten through to the average American, who would rather try switching to “light” beer and low-calorie bread than increase physical exertion. Doctors found that less than one-fourth of overweight adults who were trying to reduce weight said they were combining exercise with their diet.Still, exercise’s supporting role in weight reduction is necessary.A study confirmed that those who dieted without exercise regained almost all their old weight, while those who worked exercise into their daily routine maintained their new weight.If you have been sedentary and decide to start walking one mile a day, the added exercise could burn an extra 100 calories daily. In a year’ time, assuming no increase in food intake, you could lost ten pounds. By increasing the distance of your walks gradually and making other dietary adjustments, you may lose even more weight.(1). According to the passage, what is the advantage of exercise mentioned by the author? ( )A. It can help you keep good health.B.It can help you maintain body weight.C. It can help you get rid of illness.D.It can help you find a good job.(2). When American people decided to lose their weight, what would they rather try? ( )A. To do exercise.B. To try some “light” beer.C. To try some “light” beer and low-calorie bread.D. To try both A and C.(3). The following statements are true except ( ).A. If people try some special food such as “light” beer when they want to lose weight, they would not regain their old weight.B. Both the diet and exercise play an important role in losing weight.C. Few American people who were trying to reduce weight would do exercise with their diet.D. If people walk one mile daily, and keep doing so for one year with diet, he would lost tenpounds.(4). The word “reduce” (Para. 1 ) probably means ( ).A. decreaseB. loseC. lessenD. cut down(5). This passage is mainly about ( ).A. the meaning of exerciseB. the way to reduce weightC. the relation between lose weight and exerciseD. the importance of losing weight4. Bill Gates, the head of the world’s biggest computer softwarecompany, the Microsoft Corporation, has a mission: “to put a computer on every office desk and in every home”. Bill Gates has had this mission since he was a university student years ago. This deep personal interest, together with his technical skills and his business marketing skills helped him to create a giant computer company and to make him wealthy.Although he is so wealthy, Bill Gates does not want to give up. He is still very interested in his vision and he travels the globe, making quick stops in cities to sell the new software products of his company.The central vision of Bill Gates is the “information highway”. This is a network for computers that will link every home, office and shop in the future. This computer network system will have an effect on business, shopping and education. Bill Gates says that the main use of this new technology will be in communication. It will be a way to find people with common interests and to share opinions with them. But is this communication by computer along the “information highway” really a good thing? Won’t we be sitting at home, only “socializing” with our computer, paying big compani es money so that we can receive information that some large communication corporation somewhere had decided is “acceptable” for us to read? No, says Bill Gates, he thinks that the phrase “information highway” is aterrible phrase. It makes people think that we are all going down the same road, he says. In fact, the computer network will let us choose our own intellectual direction. It will give us freedom. It will also bring good to society, because it will allow for the spread of education. When more and more people receive education, the gap between the rich and the poor will narrow.In the meantime, however, the gap between the rich and the poor is still there. To be added to this now is the gap between those with computers and those without.(1). Ever since he was a college student, Bill Gates has ________.A. become very interested in the computerB. set up a goal to popularize the computerC. discovered great potentials in computer businessD. dreamed of having a giant computer company(2). Bill Gates’ success depends on the following except__________A. his vision and his travel over the globeB. his technical skills and business marketing skillsC. his deep personal interest in developing computer scienceD. his strong desire to make big money(3). The word “vision” ( para.3) probably means________.A. SightB. ideaC. effortD. daydream(4). The “information highway” will mainly be used _______A. in human communicationB. to help link every home, office and shopC. in business, shopping and educationD. to narrow the gap between the rich and the poor(5). The best title for this passage is probably _________A. Bill Gates, his Vision and MissionB. Computer and InformationC. Advantages of the Computer NetworkD.
