Reading Comprehension (50分)Directions: There are 4 reading passages in this part. Each passage is followed by some questions. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. You should decide on the best choice and mark the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet.Passage OneQuestions 41 to 45 are based on the following passage:Today, as in every other day of the year, more than 3000 U.S. adolescents will smoke their first cigarette on their way to becoming regular smokers as adults. During their lifetime, it can be expected that of these 3000 about 23 will be murdered, 30 will die in traffic accidents, and nearly 750 will be killed by a smoking-related disease. The number of deaths attributed to cigarette smoking outweighs all other factors, whether voluntary or involuntary, as a cause of death.Since the late 1970s, when daily smoking among high school seniors reached 30 percent, smoking rates among youth have declined. While the decline is impressive, several important issues must be raised.First, in the past several years, smoking rates among youth have declined very little. Second, in the late 1970s, smoking among male high school seniors exceeded that among female by nearly 10 percent. The statistic is reversing. Third, several recent studies have indicate high school dropouts have excessively high smoking rates, as much as 75 percent .Finally, though significant declines in adolescent smoking have occurred in the past decade, no definite reasons for the decline exist. Within this context, the National Cancer Institute (NCI) began its current effort to determine the most effective measures to reduce smoking levels among youth.41.According to the author, the deaths among youth are mainly caused by _____.A. traffic accidentsB. smoking-related diseaseC. murderD. all of these42.Every other day there are over_____high school students who will become regular smoker.A. 75B. 23C. 30D. 300043. By "dropout" the author means______.A. students who failed the examinationB. students who left schoolC. students who lost their wayD. students who were driven out of school44.The reason for declining adolescent smoking is that ________.A. NCI has taken effective measuresB.smoking is prevented among high school seniorsC. there are many smokers who have died of cancerD. none of these45. What is implied but not stated by the author is that ________.A. smoking rates among youth have declined very littleB. there are now more female than male smokers among high school seniorsC. high smoking rates are due to the increase in wealthD. smoking at high school are from low socio-economic backgroundsPassage TwoQuestions 46 to 50 are based on the following passage:There are two factors which determine an individual’s intelligence. The first is the sort of brain he is born with. Human brains differ considerably, some being more capable than others. But no matter how good a brain he has to begin with, an individual will have a low order of intelligence unless he has opportunities to learn. So the second factor is what happens to the individual—the sort of environment in which he is reared. If an individual is handicapped environmentally, it is likely that his brain will fail to develop and he will never attain the level of intelligence of which he is capable.The importance of environment in determining an individual’s intelligence can be demonstrated by the case history of the identical twins, Peter and Mark X. Being identical, the twins had identical brains at birth, andtheir growth processes were the same. When the twins were three months old, their parents died, and they were placed in separate foster homes. Peter was reared by parents of low intelligence in an isolated community with poor educational opportunities. Mark was reared in the home of well-to-do parents who had been to college. He was read to as a child, sent to good schools, and given every opportunity to be stimulated intellectually. This environmental difference continued until the twins were in their late teens, when they were given tests to measure their intelligence. Mark’s I.Q. was 125, twenty-five points higher than the average and fully forty points higher than his identical brother. Given equal opportunities, the twins, having identical brains, would have tested at roughly the same level.46. This selection can best be titled_________.A. Measuring Your IntelligenceB. Intelligence and EnvironmentC. The Case of Peter and MarkD. How the brain Influences Intelligence47. The best statement of the main idea of this passage is that _____.A. human brains differ considerablyB. the brain a person is born with is important in determining his intelligenceC. environment is crucial in determining a person’s intelligenceD. persons having identical brains will have roughly the same intelligence48. According to the passage, the average I.Q. is _____.A.85B.100C.110D.12549. The case history of the twins appears to support the conclusion that _______.A. individual with identical brains seldom test at same levelB. an individual’s intell igence is determined only by his environmentC. lack of opportunity blocks the growth of intelligenceD. changes of environment produce changes in the structure of the brain50. This passage suggests that an individual’s I.Q.______.A. can be predicted at birthB. stays the same throughout his lifeC. can be increased by educationD. is determined by his childhoodPassage ThreeQuestions 51 to 55 are based on the following passage:Grandma Moses is among the most celebrated twentieth century painters of the United States, yet she had barely started painting before she was in her late seventies. As she once said of herself: “I would never sit back in a rocking chair, waiting for someo ne to help me.” No one could have had a more productive age.She was born Anna Mary Robertson on a farm in New York State, one of five boys and five girls. (“We came in bunches, like radishes.”) At twelve she left home and was in domestic service until, at twenty seven, she married Thomas Moses, the hired hand of one of her employers. They farmed most of their lives, first in Virginia and then in New York State, at Eagle Bridge. She had ten children, of whom five survived; her husband died in 1927.Grandma Moses painted a little as a child and made embroidery pictures as a hobby, but only switched to oils in old age because her hands had become too stiff to sew and she wanted to keep busy and pass the time. Her pictures were first sold at the local drugstore and at a fair, and were soon spotted by a dealer who bought everything she painted. Three of the pictures were exhibited in the Museum of Modern Art, and in 1940 she had her first exhibition in New York. Between the 1930's and her death she produced some 2,000 pictures: detailed and lively portrayals of the rural life she had known for so long, with a marvelous sense of color and form. “I think really hard till I think of something really pretty, and then I paint it.” she said.51. Which of the following would be the best title for the passage?A. Grandma Moses: A Biographical SketchB. The Children of Grandma MosesC. Grandma Moses: Her Best ExhibitionD. Grandma Moses and Other Older Artists52. According to the passage, Grandma Moses began to paint because she wanted to ____.A. decorate her homeB. keep activeC. improve her salaryD. gain an international reputation53. From Grandma Moses' description of herself in the first paragraph, it can be inferred that she was ____ .A. independentB. prettyC. wealthyD. timid54. Grandma Moses spent most of her life ____.A. nursingB. paintingC. embroideringD. farming55. In line 14, the word “spotted”could best be replaced by ____.A. speckledB. featuredC. noticedD. damagedPassage FourQuestions 56 to 60 are based on the following passage:Someday a stranger will read your e-mail without your permission or scan the Websites you’ve visited. Or perhaps someone will casually glance through your credit card purchases or cell phone bills to find out your shopping preferences or calling habits.In fact, it’s likely some of these things have already happened to you. Who would watch you without your permission? It might be a spouse, a girlfriend, a marketing company, a boss, a cop or a criminal. Whoever it is, they will see you in a way you never intended to be seen——21st century equivalent of being caught naked.Psychologists tell us boundaries are healthy, that it’s important to reveal yourself to friends, family and lovers in stages, at appropriate times. But few boundaries remain. The digital bread crumbs(碎屑) you leave everywhere make it easy for strangers to reconstruct who you are, where you are and what you like. In some cases, a simple Google search can reveal what you think. Like it or not, increasingly we live in a world where you simply cannot keep a secret.The key question is: Does that matter?For many Americans, the answer apparently is "no."When opinion polls ask Americans about privacy, most say they are concerned about losing it. A survey found an overwhelming pessimism about privacy, with 60 percent of respondents saying they feel their privacy is "slipping away, and that bothers me."But people say one thing and do another. Only a tiny fraction of Americans change any behaviors in an effort to preserve their privacy. Few people turn down a discount at tollbooths(收费站) to avoid using the EZ-Pass system that can track automobile movements. And few turn down supermarket loyalty cards. Privacy economist Alessandro Acquits has run a series of tests that reveal people will surrender personal information like Social Security numbers just to get their hands on a pitiful 50-cents-off coupon(优惠券).But privacy does matter——at least sometimes. It’s like health: When you have it, you don’t notice it. Only when it’s gone do you wish you’d done more to protect it.56. What does the author mean by saying "the 21st century equivalent of being caught naked"(Para. 2)?A. People’s personal information is easily accessed with out their knowledge.B. In the 21st century people try every means to look into others’ secrets.C. People tend to be more frank with each other in the information age.D. Criminals are easily caught on the spot with advanced technology.57. What would psychologists advise on the relationships between friends?A. Friends should open their hearts to each other.B. Friends should always be faithful to each other.C. There should be a distance even between friends.D. There should be fewer disputes between friends.58. Why does the author say "we live in a world where you simply cannot keep a secret"(Para. 3)?A. Modern society has finally evolved into an open society.B. People leave traces around when using modern technology.C. There are al ways people who are curious about others’ affairs.D. Many search engines profit by revealing people’s identities.59. What do most Americans do with regard to privacy protection?A. They change behaviors that might disclose their identity.B. They use various loyalty cards for business transactions.C. They rely more and more on electronic devices.D. They talk a lot but hardly do anything about it.60. According to the passage, privacy is like health in that _____.A. people will make every effort to keep itB. its importance is rarely understoodC. it is something that can easily be lostD. people don’t cherish it until they lose itIII.

New machines and new methods have helped cut down time and expense while increasing overall output. This has meant more production and a higher standard of living. For most of us in America, modern technology is thought of as the reason why we can have cars and television sets.

We tend to blame TV, he says, for problems it doesn’t really cause, overlooking our own roles in shaping children’s minds.One traditional belief about television is that it reduces a child’s ability to think and to understand the world. While watching TV, children do not merely absorb words and images (影像). Instead, they learn both explicit and hidden meanings from what they see. Actually, children learn early the psychology of characters in TV shows. Furthermore, as many teachers agree, children understand far more when parents watch TV with them, explaining new words and ideas. Yet, most parents use an educational program as a chance to park their kids in front of the set and do something in another room.Another argument against television is that it replaces reading as a form of entertainment. But according to Anderson, the amount of time spent watching television is not related to reading ability. TV doesn’t take the place of reading for most children; it takes the place of similar sorts of recreation, such as listening to the radio and playing sports. Things like parents’educational background have a stronger influence on a child’s reading. “A child’s reading ability is best predicted by how much a parent reads.”Anderson says.Traditional wisdom also has it that heavy television-watching lowers IQ (智商) scores and affects school performance. But here, too, Anderson notes that no studies have proved it. In fact, research suggests that it’s the other way around. “If you’re smart young, you’ll watch less TV when you’re older,”Anderson says. Yet, people of lower IQ tend to be lifelong television viewers. For years researchers have attempted to show that television is dangerous to children. However, by showing that television promotes none of the dangerous effects as conventionally believed, Anderson suggests that television cannot be condemned without considering other influences.41. By watching TV, children learn _________.A. images through wordsB. more than explicit meaningsC. more about images than wordsD. little about people’s psychology42. An educational program is best watched by a child _________.A. on his ownB. with other kidsC. with his parentsD. with his teachers43. Which of the following is most related to children’s reading abilityA. Radio-listeningB. Television-watchingC. Parents’reading listD. Parents’educational background44. Anderson believed that _________.A. the more a child watches TV, the smarter he isB. the younger a child is, the more he watches TVC. the smarter a child is, the less likely he gets addicted to TVD. the less a child watches TV, the better he performs at school45. What is the main purpose of the passageA. To advise on the educational use of TV.B. To describe TV’s harmful effects on children.C. To explain traditional views on TV influences.D. To present Anderson’s unconventional ideas.Passage 2After a day of work and play,the body needs to rest.Sleep is necessary for good health. During this time, the body recovers from the activities of the previous day. The rest that you get while sleeping enables your body to prepare itself for the next day.There are four levels of sleep, each being a little deeper than the one before. As you sleep, your muscles relax little by little. Your heart beats more slowly, and your brain slows down. After you reach the fourth level, your body shifts back and forth from one level of sleep to the other.Although your mind slows down, from time to time you will dream. Scientists who study sleep state that when dreaming occurs, your eyeballs begin to move more quickly (Although your eyelids are closed). This stage of sleep is called REM, which stands for rapid eye movement.If you have trouble falling asleep, some people recommend breathing very deeply. Other people believe that drinking warm milk will help make you drowsy. There is also an old suggestion the counting sheep will put you to sleep!46.A good title for this passage is ____.A. SleepB. DreamsC. Good HealthD. Work and Rest47.The word drowsy in the last paragraph means ____.A. sickB. asleepC. stand upD. a little sleepy48.This passage suggests that not getting enough sleep might make you _____.A. dream more oftenB. have poor healthC. nervousD. breathe quickly49.During REM, ____.A. your eyes move quicklyB. you dreamC. you are restlessD. both A and B50.The average number of hours of sleep that an adult needs is ______ .A. approximately six hoursB. around ten hoursC. about eight hoursD. not described herePassage 3Peter loved to buy used articles. Almost a month ago,he bought popular word game that used little pieces of wood with different letters on them. As he was purchasing it, the salesgirl said, “Uh, look, the game box haven’t even been opened yet. That might be worth some money. ”Peter examined the box, and, sure enough, it was completely covered in factory-sealed plastic. And he saw a date of 1973 on the back of the box.“You should put that up for auction (拍卖) on the Internet, and see what happens.”the salesgirlsaid.“Yes, you’re right. People like something rare.”Peter agreed, “I can’t imagine there being very many unopened boxes of this game still around 40 years later.”“Don’t forget to tell me if you sell it.”the salesgirl smiled.“No problem.”Peter said.After he got home, Peter went online to several auction websites looking for his game. But he couldn’t find it. Then he typed in the name of the word game and hit Search. The search result was 543 websites containing information about the changes of the game. Over the years, the game had been produced using letters in different sizes and game boards in different colors. He also found some lists of game fans looking for various versions of the game. Peter emailed some of them, telling them what he had.Two weeks later, Peter went back to the shop.“Hello.

One after another, the next six drivers arriving at the tollbooth were informed, “Some lady up ahead already paid your fare.”It turned out that the woman, Natalie Smith, had read something on a friend’s refrigerator: “Practice random kindness and senseless acts of beauty.”The phrase impressed her so much that she copied it down.Judy Foreman spotted the same phrase on a warehouse wall far away from home. When it stayed on her mind for days, she gave up and drove all the way back to copy it down. “I thought it was beautiful,”she said, explaining why she’d taken to writing it at the bottom of all her letters, “like a message from above.”Her husband, Frank, liked the phrase so much that he put it up on the classroom wall for his students, one of whom was the daughter of Alice Johnson, a local news reporter. Alice put it in the newspaper, admitting that though she liked it, she didn’t know where it came from or what it really meant.Two days later, Alice got a call from Anne Herbert, a woman living in Marin. It was in a restaurant that Anne wrote the phrase down on a piece of paper, after turning it around in her mind for days. “Here’s the idea,”Anne says. “Anything you think there should be more of, do it randomly.”Her fantasies include painting the classrooms of shabby schools, leaving hot meals on kitchen tables in the poor part of town, and giving money secretly to a proud old lady. Anne says, “Kindness can build on itself as much as violence can.”The acts of random kindness spread. If you were one of those drivers who found your fare paid, who knows what you might have been inspired to do for someone else later. Like all great events, kindness begins slowly, with every single act. Let it be yours!56.Why did Natalie Smith pay for the six cars behind her?A．She knew the car drivers well.B．She wanted to show kindness.C．She hoped to please others.D．She had seven tickets.57.Judy Foreman copied down the phrase because she .A．thought it was beautifully writtenB．wanted to know what it really meantC．decided to write it on a warehouse wallD．wanted her husband to put it up in the classroom58.Who came up with the phrase according to the passage?A．Judy Foreman.B．Natalie Smith.C．Alice Johnson.D．Anne Herbert.59.Which of the following statements is closest in the meaning to the underlined sentence above?A．Kindness and violence can change the world.B．Kindness and violence can affect one’s behavior.C．Kindness and violence can reproduce themselves.D．Kindness and violence can shape one’s character.60.What can we infer from the last paragraph?A．People should practice random kindness to those in need.B．People who receive kindness are likely to offer it to others.C．People should practice random kindness to strangers they meet.D．People who receive kindness are likely to pay it back to the giver.完形填空Dad had a black comb.

We tend to blame TV, he says, for problems it doesn’t really cause, overlooking our own roles in shaping children’s minds. One traditional belief about television is that it reduces a child’s ability to think and to understand the world. While watching TV, children do not merely absorb words and images (影像). Instead, they learn both explicit and hidden meanings from what they see.Actually, children learn early the psychology of characters in TV shows. Furthermore, as many teachers agree, children understand far more when parents watch TV with them, explaining new words and ideas. Yet, most parents use an educational program as a chance to park their kids in front of the set and do something in another room. Another argument against television is that it replaces reading as a form of entertainment. But according to Anderson, the amount of time spent watching television is not related to reading ability. TV doesn’t take the place of reading for most children; it takes the place of similar sorts of recreation, such as listening to the radio and playing sports. Things like parents’educational background have a stronger influence on a child’s reading. “A child’s reading ability is best predicted by how much a parent reads.” Anderson says.Traditional wisdom also has it that heavy television-watching lowers IQ (智商) scores and affects school performance. But here, too, Anderson notes that no studies have proved it. In fact, research suggests that it’s the other way around. “If you’re smart young, you’ll watch less TV when you’re older,” Anderson says. Yet, people of lower IQ tend to be lifelong television viewers. For years researchers have attempted to show that television is dangerous to children. However, by showing that television promotes none of the dangerous effects as conventionally believed, Anderson suggests that television cannot be condemned without considering other influences. 41. By watching TV, children learn _________. A. images through words B. more than explicit meanings C. more about images than words D. little about people’s psychology 42. An educational program is bestwatched by a child _________. A. on his own B. with other kids C. with his parents D. with his teachers 43. Which of the following is most related to children’s reading ability A. Radio-listening B. Television-watching C. Parents’reading list D. Parents’educational background 44. Anderson believed that _________. A. the more a child watches TV, the smarter he is B. the younger a child is, the more he watches TV C. the smarter a child is, the less likely he gets addicted to TV D. the less a child watches TV, the better he performs at school 45. What is the main purpose of the passage A. To advise on the educational use of TV. B. To describe TV’s harmful effects on children. C. To explain traditional views on TV influences.D. To present Anderson’s unconventional ideas. Passage 2 After a day of work and play,the body needs to isnecessary for good health. During this time, the body recovers from the activities of the previous day. The rest that you get while sleeping enables your body to prepare itself for the next day. There are four levels of sleep, each being a little deeper than the one before. As you sleep, your muscles relax little by little. Your heart beats more slowly, and your brain slows down. After you reach the fourth level, your body shifts back and forth from one level of sleep to the other. Although your mind slows down, from time to time you will dream. Scientists who study sleep state that when dreaming occurs, your eyeballs begin to move more quickly (Although your eyelids are closed). This stage of sleep is called REM, which stands for rapid eye movement. If you have trouble falling asleep, some people recommend breathing very deeply. Other people believe that drinking warm milkwill help make you drowsy. There is also an old suggestion the counting sheep will put you to sleep! good title for this passage is ____. A. Sleep B. Dreams C. Good Health D. Work and Rest word drowsy in the last paragraph means ____. A. sick B. asleep C. stand up D. a little sleepy passage suggests that not getting enough sleep might make you _____. A. dream more often B. have poor health C. nervous D. breathe quickly REM, ____. A. your eyes move quickly B. you dream C. you are restless D. both A and B average number of hours of sleep that an adult needs is ______ . A. approximately six hours B. around ten hours C. about eight hours D. not described here Passage 3 Peter loved to buy used articles. Almost a month ago,he bought popular word game that used little piecesof wood with different letters on them. As he was purchasing it, the salesgirl said, “Uh, look, the game box haven’t even been opened yet. That might be worth some money. ” Peter examined the box, and, sure enough, it was completely covered in factory-sealed plastic. And he saw a date of 1973 on the back of the box. “Y ou should put that up for auction (拍卖) on the Internet, and see what happens.”the salesgirl said. “Yes, you’re right. People like something rare.” Peter agreed, “I can’t imagine there being very many unopened boxes of this game still around 40 years la ter.” “Don’t forget to tell me if you sell it.” the salesgirl smiled. “No problem.” Peter said. After he got home, Peter went online to several auction websites looking for his game. But he couldn’t find it. Then he typed in the name of the word game and hit Search. The search result was 543 websitescontaining information about the changes of the game. Over the years, the game had been produced using letters in different sizes and game boards in different colors. He also found some lists of game fans looking for various versions of the game. Peter emailed some of them, telling them what he had. Two weeks later, Peter went back to the shop. “Hello. Do you still remember the unopened word game” The salesgirl looked at him for a second, then recognized him and said, “Oh, hi!” “I’ve got something for you,” Peter said. “I sold the game and made $1,000. Thank you for your suggestion.” He handed her three $ 100 bills. “Wow!” the salesgirl cried out. “Thank you, I never expected it.” 51. Which of the following best describes Peter’s word game A.

Peter gave the girl $300 as a reward. B. The salesgirl became Peter’s friend.C. Peter returned the word game for $ 1,000.D. The salesgirl felt confused to see Peter again. 55. What is the main theme of the story A. It’s important to keep a promise. B. It’s great to share in other people’s happiness. C. We should be grateful for the help from others. D.

One after another, the next six drivers arriving at the tollbooth were informed, “Some lady up ahead a lready paid your fare.” It turned out that the woman, Natalie Smith, had read something on a friend’s refrigerator: “Practice random kindness and senseless acts of beauty.” The phrase impressed her so much that she copied it down.

Do you still remember the unopened word game” The salesgirl looked at him for a second, then recognized him and said, “Oh, hi!” “I’ve got something for you,” Peter said. “I sold the game and made $1,000.

Passage 4 It was a coldwinter woman drove up to the Rainbow Bridge tollbooth (收费站). “I’m ????paying??for??myself??and for the six cars behind me,” she said with a smile, handing over seven tickets. One after another, the next six drivers arriving at the tollbooth were informed, “Some lady up ahead already paid your fare.” It turned out that the woman, Natalie Smith, had read something on a friend’ s refrigerator: “Practice random kindness and senseless acts of beauty.” The phrase impressed her so much that she copied it down. Judy Foreman spotted the same phrase on a warehouse wall far away from home. When it stayed on her mind for days, she gave up and drove all the way back to copy it down. “I thought it was beautiful,” she said, explaining why she’d taken to writing it at the bottom of all her letters, “like a message fromabove.” Her husband, Frank, liked the phrase so much that he put it up on the classroom wall for his students, one of whom was the daughter of Alice Johnson, a local news reporter. Alice put it in the newspaper, admitting that though she liked it, she didn’t know where it came from or what it really meant. Two days later, Alice got a call from Anne Herbert, a woman living in Marin. It was in a restaurant that Anne wrote the phrase down on a piece of paper, after turning it around in her mind for days. “Here’s the idea,” Anne says. “Anything you think there should be more of, do it randomly.” Her fantasies include painting the classrooms of shabby schools, leaving hot meals on kitchen tables in the poor part of town, and giving money secretly to a proud old lady. Anne says, “Kindness can build on itself as much as violence can.” The acts of random kindness spread. If youwere one of those drivers who found your fare paid, who knows what you might have been inspired to do for someone else later. Like all great events, kindness begins slowly, with every single act. Let it be yours! did Natalie Smith pay for the six cars behind her? A．She knew the car drivers well. B．She wanted to show kindness. C．She hoped to please others. D．She had seven tickets.

In fact, many students say it requires much more time and effort. Requirements for online courses are not less than those of any quality program. Successful students, however, see online learning as a convenient way to receive their education — not an easier way. Many online students sit at computers for hours at a time during evenings and on weekends in order to complete their assignments. When other people are finished and having fun is most likely the time when online students do their course work. Online students need to commit 4 to 15 hours a week for each course. 作文Reusing textbooks 1.有人认为课本应当反复使用；2.这样做的好处和影响；3.你的看法。

But actually the umbrella was not invented as protection against the rain. It was first used as a shade against the sun.Nobody knows who first invented it, but the umbrella was used in very ancient times. Probably the first to use it were the Chinese, way back in the eleventh century B.C.We know that the umbrella was also used in ancient Egypt and Babylon as a sunshade. (81)And there was a strange thing connected with its use; it became a symbol of honor and authority. In the Far East in ancient times, the umbrella was allowed to be used only by royal people or by those in high office.In Europe, the Greeks were the first to use the umbrella as a sunshade. And the umbrella was in common use in ancient Greece . But it is believed that the first personsin Europe to use umbrellas as protection against the rain were the ancient Romans.During the Middle Ages, the use of the umbrella practically disappeared. Then it appeared again in Italy in the 16th century. And again it became a symbol of power and authority.Umbrellas have not changed much in style during all this time, though they have become much lighter in weight. It wasn't until the twenties century that women's umbrellas began to be made in a variety of colors.41. The first use of the umbrella was as.A. Protection against the rainB. A shade against the sun.C. A symbol of powerD. A symbol of honor42. The are regarded as the people who first used umbrellas.A. RomansB. GreeksC. ChineseD. Europeans43. The umbrella was used only by royal people or those in high office .A. in Europe in the eighteenth century.B. in ancient Egypt and BabylonC. in the Far East in ancient timesD. during the Middle Ages44. According to the passage, which of the following is NOT true?A. Women's umbrellas are made in various kinds of colors.B. The inventor of the umbrella is unknown.C. Once ordinary people had no right to use umbrellas.D. Umbrellas were popular and cheap in ancient times.45. Which of the following may be the best title for the passage?A. When Was the Umbrella InventedB. The Roles of Umbrellas in HistoryC. The Colors and Shapes of UmbrellasD. Who Needed the Umbrella FirstPassage TwoDoctors are starting to find more and more information that suggests a connection between exercise and brain development. According to some research, it seems that exercise can make blood vessels, including those in the brain, stronger and more fully developed.The effects of exercise on brain development can even be seen in babies. Babies who do activities that require a lot of movement and physical activity show greater brain development than babies who are less physically active. Margaret Barnes, a pediatrician, believes in the importance of exercise. (82)She thinks that many learning disabilities that children have in elementary school or high school can be traced back to a lack of movement as babies.In studies with seniors, research has shown that exercise helps older people as well. The exercise doesn't have to be very difficult. The main goal is just to increase the heart rate. And especially when learning new movements, such as yoga or tai chi, it appears that new memory paths open up in the brain. This can improve people's short-term memory.46. What is the main idea of this passage?A. How to take exerciseB. How exercise helps the brainC. How to enjoy musicD. How the brain can change47. According to the passage, how does exercise affect the brain?A. It helps people think more clearlyB. It improves long-term memoryC. It makes babies more intelligentD. It strengthens blood vessels48. According to Margaret Barnes, many learning problems that children have in school may be caused by.A. low intelligenceB. a lack of exercise when very youngC. social problemsD. difficult relationships with teachers49. Why are voga and tai chi recommended to seniors?A. They are new movementsB. They are good for memoryC. They can slow down their heart rate.D. They are good for joints50. What type of patients does a pediatrician probably treat?A. Patients with mental problemsB. Patients with physical problemsC. ChildrenD. Old peoplePassage ThreeHow can we get rid of garbage? Do we have enough energy sources to meet our future energy needs? These are two important questions that many people are asking today. Some people think that man might be able to solve both problems at the same time. (83)They suggest using garbage as an energy source, and at the same time it can save the land to hold garbage.For a long time, people buried garbage or dumped it on empty land. Now, empty land is scarce. But more and more garbage is produced each year. However, garbage can be a good fuel to use. The things do not look like coal, petroleum, or natural gas; but they are chemically similar to these fossil fuels. As we use up our fossil fuel supplies, we might be able to use garbage as an energy source.Buring garbage is not a new idea. Some cities in Europe and the United States have been buring garbage for years. The heat that is produced by burning garbage is used to boil water. The steam that is produced is used to make electricity or to heat nearby buildings. In Pairs, France, some power plants burn almost 2 million metric tons of the city's garbage each year. The amount of energy produced is about the same as would be produced by buring almost a half million barrels of oil.But there are problems in using garbage as a fuel. Garbage that burns easily , such as food scraps (碎屑) and paper, must be separated from metals, glass, and other materials that do not burn easily. This separation process is normally costly. Another problem is that burning garbage can pollute the air.Our fossil fuel supplies are limited. Buring garbage might be one kind of energy source that we can use to help meet our energy needs. This method could also reduce the amount of garbage piling up on the earth.51. What two problems can man solve by burning problem?A. The shortage of energy and air pollutionB. The shortage of energy and the land to hold garbage.C. Air pollution and the shortage of fossil fuels.D. Air pollution and the shortage of the land to hold garbage.52. Which of the following is NOT the result of burning garbage?A. The garbage burned is turned into fossil fuels.B. The heat produced is used to boil water.C. The steam produced is used to make electricity.D. The steam produced is used to heat buildings.53. According to the passage, which of the following is NOT true?A. About 2 million metric tons of garbage is burned in France each year.B. In the modern society, more and more garbage is produced each year.C. Using garbage is a good way to solve the problem of energy shortage.D. Burning garbage is an old idea.54. According to the passage, which of the following four groups of garbage is ready for burning?A. Food scraps and metalsB. Paper and glassC. Metals and glassD. Food scraps and paper55. What is the general tone of the passage?A. OptimisticB. IndifferentC. PromotingD. AnxiousPassage FourH5N1 avian influence, known commonly as bird flu, has killed at least 15 people across Asia and was confirmed in China on January 27. No human cases have been found in the mainland, but 13 of the country's 31 provinces, autonomous regions, and municipalities (直辖市) have reported the disease in poultry.The Chinese government has taken measures to prevent and control the disease. Poultry within 3 km of infected farms is to be killed and those within 5 km to receive vaccines (疫苗). (84)Meanwhile , there will be constant monitoring and daily reports on the disease across the country, and increased production of bird flu vaccines.Among the Asian countries and regions affected by bird flue in animals,only Vietnam and Thailand have reported human cases. The people infected were reportedto have caught the disease from poultry, while the World Health Organization (WHO) said there is "no proof of human-to-human transmission(传播)" of bird flue.(85)The big fear is that the disease could combine with a human influenza virus to create a deadly new disease that will kill millions of people across the globe. Many Asian farmers live closely with their animals and sell live chickens in the market. This greatly increases the possibility of human beings infected with bird flu.A spokesman of the WHO said that Asian countries affected by bird flu should introduce a more healthy way of raising and selling chickens. And the people there have to complexly change their lifestyle and attitude towards animals. Here are some safety measures for people to stay healthy;✧∙Keep fit and well through regular exercise;✧∙Avoid infected poultry and infected people;✧∙Avoid eating raw or under-done poultry and eggs;✧∙Make sure there is always fresh air in your home;✧∙Cover your mouth and nose when coughing or sneezing;✧∙Wash your hands frequently;42. What does the word "poultry "in the passage mean?A. Wild birdsB. Wild animalsC. Home-raised birdsD. Home-raised animals43. From the passage, we can learn that.A. infected poultry within 3 km was killed in China .B. Bird flu case was confirmed in China on Jan,27.C. Human cases were found 13Asian countriesD. Over two thirds of China has been infected with bird flu44. What do people fear most?A. Poultry will infect many peopleB. The disease can spread quickly among peopleC. There will be human-to-human transmissionD. A new disease combining bird flu and human flu will break out45. One of the right ways for us to avoid bird flu is .A. To kill all the poultryB.

Each passage is followed by some questions. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. You should decide on the best choice and mark the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet .Passage OneThe United States population is growing older. In 1987, 12 percent of Americans were 65 years old or older, compared with 8 percent in 1950. population experts at the U.S. Bureau of the Census expect this percentage to continue to rise gradually, reaching 14 percent in 2010, then to skyrocket during the next 20 years, reaching 21 percent by 2030. This “graying of America” has generated concerns about whether the best really is yet to be, abo ut how well off tomorrow’s elderly will be. There also are questions about the impact of aging population on the rest of society.The graying of America has tow causes. First, advances in medical care have enable people to live longer. In the United States in 1900, the average life expectancy at birth was 47.7 years. By 1985, the latest year for which figures are available, it has climbed to 74.7 years.Second, the U.S. birthrate rose in the mid-1900s, interrupting a long, slow decline. A dramatic increase occurred during this brief rise. From 1945 to 1947, the rate jumped from 20.4 births for every 1,000 people to 26.6. In 1957, the birthrate was still high—25.3—but then began decline. The birthrate dropped to the 1933 level of 18.4 in 1966, and by 1985, was 15.7. Most experts see little change in the downward trend of the birthrate in the foreseeable future.41.What is the author’s main purpose in the passage?A.To bring attention to the needs of the elderly.B.To contrast birthrate and life expectancy rates.C.To explain how and why the American population is aging.D.To show the percentages of age groups in general population.42.During which period of time will the percentage of American 65 years old or older increasethe most?A. 1970-1990B. 1990-2010C. 2010-2030D. 2030-205043.In the first paragraph, the phrase “this graying of America” refers to________.A. The uncertainty of the future for older AmericansB. The effects of population on the health of the elderlyC. Statistics released by the U.S. Bureau of the CensusD. The increasing number of elderly people in the population44.About how long did it take the birthrate to return to the 1933 level?A. 20 yearsB. 30 yearsC. 40 yearsD. 50 years45.Which of the following conclusions about the birthrate is supported by the passage?A. The long-range decline in the birthrate will continue in the next centuryB. Another dramatic increase in the birthrate will occur before the 21st centuryC. The birthrate will continue to vary greatly.D. An increase in the birthrate depends mainly on advances in medical care.Passage TwoPeople with disabilities comprise a large part of the population. It is estimate that over 35 million Americans have physical, mental, or other disabilities. About half of these disabilities are "developmental", i.e., they occur prior to the individual's twenty-second birthday, often from genetic conditions, and are severe enough to affect three or more areas of development, such as mobility, communication, employment, etc. Most other disabilities are considered "adventitious", i.e., accidental or caused by outside forces.Prior to the 20th century on1y a small percentage of people with disabilities survived for long. Medical treatment for these disabilities was unavailable. Advancements in medicine and social services have created a climate in which people with disabilities can expect to have such basic needs as food, shelter, and medical treatment. Unfortunately, these basics are often not available. Civil liberties such as the right to vote, marry, get an education, and gain employment have historically been denied on the basis of disability.In recent decades, the disability rights movement has been organized to fight against these infringements of civil rights. Congress responded by passing major legislation recognizing people with disabilities as a protected class under civil rights statutes. Still today, people with disabilities must fight to live their lives independently. It is estimated that more than half of qualified Americans with disabilities are unemployed and a majority of those who do work are underemployed. About two-thirds live at or below the official poverty level.Significant barriers, especially in transportation and public awareness, prevent disabled people from taking part in society. For example, while no longer prohibited by law from marrying, a person with no access to transportation is effectively excluded from community and social activities which might lead to the development of long-term relationships.It will only be when public attitudes advance as far as laws have that disabled people will be fully able to take their rightful place in society.46. A “developmental” disability ___________.A. develops very slowly over timeB. is caused by forcesC. occurs in youth and affects developmentD. is getting more and more severe47. Most disabled people used to die early because ______________.A. disabilities destroyed major bodily functionsB. they were not very well looked afterC. medical techniques were not availableD. they were too poor to get proper treatment48. In the author’s opinion, to enable the disabled people to take their rightful placein society ____________.A. more laws should be passedB. public attitudes should be changedC. government should provide more aidsD. more public facilities should be set up49.Which of the following cannot be inferred from the passage?A. Many disabled people may remain single for their whole lifeB. The public tends to look down upon the disabled peopleC. The disabled people feel inferior to those surrounding peopleD. Discriminatory laws prevent the disabled from mixing with others50. The best title for this passage might be ____________.A. Handicaps of People with DisabilitiesB. The Difficulties of the DisabledC. The Causes for DisabilitiesD. Medical Treatments for DisabilitiesPassage ThreeThere are some steps you can take yourself to avoid catching a cold. Contrary to popular belief, colds are not caused by exposure to severe weather. Colds are caused by viruses (病毒) harbored in the body, and you're better off out on the ski slopes or even waiting for the bus on a snowy day than you are in a tasty swarm room, surrounded by friends, coworkers, or fellow students, who just may be passing the virus around. If you feel a chill when you're coming down with a cold, you're already sick. A chill is an early symptom: it's the cold that caused the chill, not the other way around.While the virus can spread through droplets propelled into the air when a cold-sufferer coughs or sneezes, surprisingly, this is not the most common route of transmission. Numerous studies have now shown that the overwhelming majority of colds are "caught" by hand contact. A cold-sufferer rubs her nose, thereby transferring the virus to her hand. Then a friend comes to visit. "Don't kiss me," she cautions, so the friend steps back and presses her hand. The friend then swipes her own nose or eye-and several days later is stricken with a cold. Or parents pick up their child's discarded tissues and carefully throw then away, but fail to wash their hands afterward.Cold viruses also can be transferred to objects-telephones, towels, plates-and remain infections for up to three hours. Frequent hand-washing on the cold-sufferer as well as other members of the household will minimize the spread of viruses in this way.51.According to the first paragraph, you’re most likely to catch a cold if ________.A. you expose yourself to severe weatherB. you play outdoors long when it is snowingC. you stay in a very warm room with a lot of peopleD. you wait for a bus on a cold and windy day52.If you feel a chill, it means ________.A. you’ll catch a cold sooner or laterB. y ou’ve already come down with a coldC. there are viruses hidden in your bodyD. the room is not warm enough for you health53.Which of the following is NOT true according to the passage?A. It is generally believed that colds are caused by exposure to cold weatherB. Most colds are “caught” by hand contact.C. Cold virus will keep alive for several hours once it leaves human bodyD. Cold virus can spread around only through the air.54.According to the author, the best way of avoiding catching a cold is______.A. washing your hands frequentlyB. never rubbing your nose or eyesC. throwing away tissues immediately after useD. shaking hands with your friends instead of kissing them55.The best title for this passage might be _______.A. Colds and VirusesB. Colds and TemperatureC. Ways of Avoiding ColdsD. The Spread of VirusesPassage FourThe way you look—the body that is yours—has several relatively permanent features that disclose information about you. As you take the platform to speak, listeners can observe your physical features and infer your sex, general age range, racial background, height, weight, and the body type. Sometimes audiences respond to personal appearance in a fixed manner. As a result they may discount messages given by speakers who are very much younger than themselves. Other audiences similarly pay less attention to the speeches of women or of people from other cultural groups.Many people have one or more physical features or conditions that make them reluctant to speak publicly. These include crooked(歪斜)teeth, visible birthmarks, above-average or below-average weight or height, poor eyesight, or the use of wheelchairs. Although it is true that people do see your features, it is generally not true that they spend the entire speech focusing on them. If you worry about your appearance, one of your best strategies is to have an interesting topic and a good opening statement that will draw people's attention to your subject rather than to your looks.Regardless of your looks, you can pay special attention to your appearance such as dressing neatly, keeping your hair tidy, etc. Neatness and cleanliness are sometimes as significant as natural beauty; in fact, a common proverb, "Cleanliness is next to godliness" gives a very good example of this. Further, as we will see, social attractiveness is enhanced by other nonverbal variables such as smiling and gesturing appropriately. Moreover, physical characteristics are not the only thing your listeners see. The clothing and accessories(妇女全套衣饰中的小件)you choose are part of your total presentation of yourself.56.This passage may be intended for _________.A. schoolteachersB. would-be actors or actressC. social workersD. those who work involves public speeches57.Some people tend not to attach enough importance to what a speaker says if _______.A. he has a different cultural backgroundB. he is poorly dressedC. his hair is untidyD. he is overweight58.People often feel shy to speak in public if _______.A. they are younger than the audiencesB. their subjects are not interesting enoughC .they are female and not prettyD. they have some physical defects59.Social attractiveness can be improved by ________.A. your humorous way of talkingB. good manners and neat dressingC. a good opening statementD. choosing a good topic60.According to the passage, which of the following statements is true?A .Natural beauty is necessary for a public speakerB. The audiences won’t concentrate on your features throughout your speech.C. Age and sex can decide whether your speech will be a successful one.D.The audience can usually foresee what you’ll say from your racial background..III.

Without love a person could go hayward and also become cruel and ferocious. In the early stage of our life, our parents are the ones who shower us with unconditional love and care, they teach us about what is right and wrong, good and bad.

We tend to blame TV, he says, for problems it doesn’t really cause, overlooking our own roles in shaping children’s minds.One traditional belief about television is that it reduces a child’s ability to think and to understand the world. While watching TV, children do not merely absorb words and images (影像). Instead, they learn both explicit and hidden meanings from what they see. Actually, children learn early the psychology of characters in TV shows. Furthermore, as many teachers agree, children understand far more when parents watch TV with them, explaining new words and ideas. Yet, most parents use an educational program as a chance to park their kids in front of the set and do something in another room.Another argument against television is that it replaces reading as a form of entertainment. But according to Anderson, the amount of time spent watching television is not related to reading ability. TV doesn’t take the place of reading for most children; it takes the place of similar sorts of recreation, such as listening to the radio and playing sports. Things like parents’educational background have a stronger influence on a child’s reading. “A child’s reading ability is best predicted by how much a parent reads.”Anderson says.Traditional wisdom also has it that heavy television-watching lowers IQ (智商) scores and affects school performance. But here, too, Anderson notes that no studies have proved it. In fact, research suggests that it’s the other way around. “If you’re smart young, you’ll watch less TV when you’re older,”Anderson says. Yet, people of lower IQ tend to be lifelong television viewers.For years researchers have attempted to show that television is dangerous to children. However, by showing that television promotes none of the dangerous effects as conventionally believed, Anderson suggests that television cannot be condemned without considering other influences.41. By watching TV, children learn _________.A. images through wordsB. more than explicit meaningsC. more about images than wordsD. little about people’s psychology42. An educational program is best watched by a child _________.A. on his ownB. with other kidsC. with his parentsD. with his teachers43.

Anderson believed that _________.A. the more a child watches TV, the smarter he isB. the younger a child is, the more he watches TVC. the smarter a child is, the less likely he gets addicted to TVD. the less a child watches TV, the better he performs at school45. What is the main purpose of the passageA. To advise on the educational use of TV.B. To describe TV’s harmful effects on children.C. To explain traditional views on TV influences.D. To present Anderson’s unconventional ideas.Passage 2After a day of work and play,the body needs to rest.Sleep is necessary for good health. During this time, the body recovers from the activities of the previous day. The rest that you get while sleeping enables your body to prepare itself for the next day.There are four levels of sleep, each being a little deeper than the one before. As you sleep, your muscles relax little by little. Your heart beats more slowly, and your brain slows down. After you reach the fourth level, your body shifts back and forth from one level of sleep to the other.Although your mind slows down, from time to time you will dream. Scientists who study sleep state that when dreaming occurs, your eyeballs begin to move more quickly (Although your eyelids are closed). This stage of sleep is called REM, which stands for rapid eye movement.If you have trouble falling asleep, some people recommend breathing very deeply. Other people believe that drinking warm milk will help make you?drowsy.?There is also an old suggestion the counting sheep will put you to sleep!46.A good title for this passage is ____.A. Sleep???????????B. Dreams?C. Good Health?????D. Work and Rest47.The word drowsy in the last paragraph means ____.A. sick????????????B. asleep??C. stand up?????????D. a little sleepy48.This passage suggests that not getting enough sleep might make you _____.A. dream more often??B. have poor health??C. nervous????D. breathe quickly49.During REM, ____.A. your eyes move quickly?B. you dreamC. you are restlessD. both A and B50.The average number of hours of sleep that an adult needs is ______ .A. approximately six hours???B. around ten hours?C. about eight hours?????????D. not described herePassage 3Peter loved to buy used articles. Almost a month ago,he bought popular word game that used little pieces of wood with different letters on them. As he was purchasing it, the salesgirl said, “Uh, look, the game box haven’t even been opened yet. That might be worth some money. ”Peter examined the box, and, sure enough, it was completely covered in factory-sealed plastic. And he saw a date of 1973 on the back of the box.“You should put that up for auction (拍卖) on the Internet, and see what happens.”the salesgirlsaid.“Yes, you’re right. People like something rare.”Peter agreed, “I can’t imagine there being very many unopened boxes of this game still around 40 years later.”“Don’t forget to tell me if you sell it.”the salesgirl smiled.“No problem.”Peter said.After he got home, Peter went online to several auction websites looking for his game. But he couldn’t find it. Then he typed in the name of the word game and hit Search. The search result was 543 websites containing information about the changes of the game. Over the years, the game had been produced using letters in different sizes and game boards in different colors. He also found some lists of game fans looking for various versions of the game. Peter emailed some of them, telling them what he had.Two weeks later, Peter went back to the shop.“Hello. Do you still remember the unopened word game”The salesgirl looked at him for a second, then recognized him and said, “Oh, hi!”“I’ve got something for you,”Peter said. “I sold the game and made $1,000. Thank you for your suggestion.”He handed her three $ 100 bills.“Wow!”the salesgirl cried out. “Thank you, I never expected it.”51. Which of the following best describes Peter’s word gameA. It was made around 40 years ago.B. It had game boards in different sizes.C. It was kept in a plastic bag with a seal.D. It had little pieces of wood in different colors.52.

Peter got the names of the game fans from ________.A. an auctionB. the InternetC. a game shopD. the second-hand shop54. What happened at the end of the storyA. Peter gave the girl $300 as a reward.B. The salesgirl became Peter’s friend.C. Peter returned the word game for $ 1,000.D. The salesgirl felt confused to see Peter again.55. What is the main theme of the storyA. It’s important to keep a promise.B. It’s great to share in other people’s happiness.C. We should be grateful for the help from others.D. Something rare is worth a large amount of money.Passage 4It was a cold winter day.A woman drove up to the Rainbow Bridge tollbooth (收费站). “I’mpaying for myself, and for the six cars behind me,”she said with a smile, handing over seven tickets. One after another, the next six drivers arriving at the tollbooth were informed, “Some lady up ahead already paid your fare.”It turned out that the woman, Natalie Smith, had read something on a friend’s refrigerator: “Practice random kindness and senseless acts of beauty.”The phrase impressed her so much that she copied it down.Judy Foreman spotted the same phrase on a warehouse wall far away from home. When it stayed on her mind for days, she gave up and drove all the way back to copy it down. “I thought it was beautiful,”she said, explaining why she’d taken to writing it at the bottom of all her letters, “like a message from above.”Her husband, Frank, liked the phrase so much that he put it up on the classroom wall for his students, one of whom was the daughter of Alice Johnson, a local news reporter. Alice put it in the newspaper, admitting that though she liked it, she didn’t know where it came from or what it really meant.Two days later, Alice got a call from Anne Herbert, a woman living in Marin. It was in a restaurant that Anne wrote the phrase down on a piece of paper, after turning it around in her mind for days.“Here’s the idea,”Anne says. “Anything you think there should be more of, do it randomly.”Her fantasies include painting the classrooms of shabby schools, leaving hot meals on kitchen tables in the poor part of town, and giving money secretly to a proud old lady. Anne says, “Kindness can build on itself as much as violence can.”The acts of random kindness spread. If you were one of those drivers who found your fare paid, who knows what you might have been inspired to do for someone else later. Like all great events, kindness begins slowly, with every single act. Let it be yours!56.Why did Natalie Smith pay for the six cars behind herA．She knew the car drivers well.B．She wanted to show kindness.C．She hoped to please others.D．She had seven tickets.57.Judy Foreman copied down the phrase because she???????.A．thought it was beautifully writtenB．wanted to know what it really meantC．decided to write it on a warehouse wallD．wanted her husband to put it up in the classroom58.Who came up with the phrase according to the passageA．Judy Foreman.B．Natalie Smith.C．Alice Johnson.D．Anne Herbert.59.Which of the following statements is closest in the meaning to the underlined sentence aboveA．Kindness and violence can change the world.B．Kindness and violence can affect one’s behavior.C．Kindness and violence can reproduce themselves.D．Kindness and violence can shape one’s character.60.What can we infer from the last paragraphA．People should practice random kindness to those in need.B．People who receive kindness are likely to offer it to others.C．People should practice random kindness to strangers they meet.D．People who receive kindness are likely to pay it back to the giver.完形填空Dad had a black comb.

In fact, many students say it requires much more time and effort. Requirements for online courses are not less than those of any quality program. Successful students, however, see online learning as a convenient way to receive their education —not an easier way. Many online students sit at computers for hours at a time during evenings and on weekends in order to complete their assignments. When other people are finished and having fun is most likely the time when online students do their course work. Online students need to commit 4 to 15 hours a week for each course.作文Reusing textbooks1.有人认为课本应当反复使用；2.这样做的好处和影响；3.你的看法。

For each of them,there are 4 choices marked A,B,C and D.You should decide on the best choice and mark the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet.Passage One“If you want to see a thing well,reach out and touch it!”That may seem a strange thing to say.But touching things can help you to see them better.Your eyes can tell you that a glass ball is round.But by holding it in your hands,you can feel howsmooth and cool the ball is.You can feel how heavy the glass is.When you feel all these about the ball,you really see it.With your skin,you can feel better.For example,your fingers can tell the difference between two coins in your pocket.You can feel a little drop of water on the back of your hand,too.All children soon learn what “Don’t touch!”means.They hear it often.Yet most of us keep on touching things as we grow up.In shops,we touch things as we might buy:food,clothes.To see something well,we have to touch it.There are ways of learning to see well by feeling.One way is to close your eyes and try to feel everything that is touching your skin.Feel the shoes on your feet,the clothes on your body,the air on your skin.At first,it is not easy to feel these things.You are too used to them!Most museums are just for looking.But today some museums have some things to touch.Their signs say,“Do touch!”There you can feel everything on show.If we want to see better,reach out and touch.Then you will really see!41.By touching things, .A.you will have a strange feelingB.you will learn how to reach out your handC.you can know them betterD.you can tell what colors they are42.When people buy things in shops,they often .A.buy them firstB.keep their right hands on themC.ask about themD.feel and touch them43.Why does it say “At first,it is not easy to feel these things”? Because .A.the things are used by people,tooB.people feel the things too oftenC.people know how to use the thingsD.the things are easy to feel44.Which of the following is true?A.Touching is more important than seeing.B.Our feet,fingers,hands and skin can help us buy food.C.People have to learn to see by feeling as they grow up.D.Visitors can feel the things on show in some museums.45.Which of the following can be best title of the story?A.Touching by Feeling.B.To See or to Feel?C.To See Better-Touch.D.Ways of Feeling.Passage TwoPronouncing a language is a skill.Every normal person is an expert in the skill of pronouncing his own language,but fewpeople are even moderately proficient at pronouncing foreign languages.Now there are many reasons for this.Some are obvious,some perhaps not so obvious.But I suggest that the fundamental reason why people in general do not speak foreign languages much better than they do in their own languages is that they fail to grasp the true nature of the problem of learning to pronounce them,and consequently never set about speaking them in the right way.Far too many people fail to realize that pronouncing a foreign language is a skill that needs careful training of a special kind,and one that cannot be acquired by just leaving it to take care of itself.I think even teachers of language,while recognizing the importance of a good accent,tend to neglect,in their practical teaching,the branch of study concerned with speaking the language.So the first point I want to make is that English pronunciation must be taught,the teacher should be prepared to devote some of the lesson to this,and his whole attitude to the subject should make the students feel that here is a matter worthy of receiving their close attention.46.Teaching pronunciation .A.should always be taken into first considerationB.can never be treated as a main courseC.may not be so important as someone thinksD.is often neglected in teachers practice47.The teacher’s attitude to the subject can .A.change the student’s devotion to the teacher himselfB.influence the student’s attention to itC.receive student’s attention to his pronunciationD.Reduce student’s interest in language48.According to the author, good proficiency at pronouncing foreign languages.A.many people fail to achieveB.many students can attainC.most teachers ignoreD.most teachers have49.That most students can’t pronounce a foreign language properly is because .A.they like to learn grammar rather than pronunciationB.teachers think pronunciation is not importantC.teachers can not find effective ways to teach pronunciationD.they lack careful training in pronunciation50.Which of the following statements is TRUE?A.A good accent can be acquired by naturenguage speaking is not so difficult as grammarC.Pronouncing a foreign language is a skillD.One can learn pronunciation without instructions.Passage ThreeI strongly believe that understanding is more important than love,especially when it comes to parenting and intimate relationships.As a psychologist for more than twenty years I can tell you that I have never had an adult looking back at her childhood and complaining that her parents were too understanding.And similarly,I have met many divorced people who still love each other but yet they never really understood each other.The painful reality is love is just not enough.I’ll admit that there are people who I love and who I still need to better understand.I hope I’ll continue my work to understand them.The willingness to understand is very important.It is not always easy,but healthy love is strengthened by the willingness to understand.Love without understanding will wilt like flowers without water.Our egos are what seem to get in the way of understanding those who we love and care about.Often it is our need to be right that makes what others think and feel so wrong for us.I have certainly been quite guilty of this in some of my relationships. As I have written repeatedly in my books,empathy,is truly the emotional glue that holds all close relationshipstogether.Empathy allows us to slow down and try to walk in the shoes of those we love.The deeper our empathy,the deeper-and healthier-our love.Not all relationships are meant to be.Yet all relationships that are meant to flourish in a healthy way,must stress understanding just as much,if not more,than love.51.From the passage we know that .A.the author complains about her parents’ being too understandingB.the author has been studying marriages for more than 20 yearsC.people divorced mainly because they didn’t love each otherD.some people divorced because they couldn’t understand each other52.Why are we unable to understand the others sometimes?A.Because we are caring the others too muchB.Because it is quite difficult to understand the othersC.Because we believe we are always rightD.Because the others have done something wrong53.Which of the following statements is true according to the passage?A.Understanding is more important to parenting relationship than to other intimate relationshipsB.Understanding is less important than love as far as marriage is concernedC.Understanding is more important than love to some degreeD.Understanding is more often neglected in parenting relationship54.If we are understand our partners,we should firstlyA.have willingness to do soB.have love for themC.get into connection with themD.care about them55.In this passage,the expression “walk in the shoes of”is similar in meaning to .A.befriendB.understandC.loveD.care aboutPassage FourNormally a student must attend a certain number of courses in order to graduate,and each course which he attends gives him a credit which he may count towards a degree.In many American universities the total work for a degree consists of thirty six courses each lasting for one semester.A typical course consists of three classes per week for fifteen weeks;while attending a university a student will probably attend four or five coursesduring each semester.Normally a student would expect to take four years attending two semesters each year.It is possible to spread the period of work for the degree over a longer period.It is also possible for a student to move between one university and another during his degree course,though this is not in fact done as a regular practice.For every course that he follows a student is given a grade,which is recorded and available for the student to show to prospective employers.All this imposes a constant pressure and strain of work,but in spite of this some students still find time for great activity in student affairs.Elections to positions in student organizations arouse much enthusiasm.The effective work of maintaining discipline is usually performed by students who advise the academic authorities.Any student who is thought to have broken the rules,for example,by cheating,has to appear before a student court.With the enormous numbers of students,the operation of the system does involve a certain amount of activity.A student who has held one of these positions of these positions of authority is much respected and it will be of benefit to him later in his career.56.Normally a student would at least attend classes each week.A.36B.12C.20D.1657.According to the first paragraph an American student is allowed .A.to live in a different universityB.to take a particular course in a different universityC.to live at home and drive to classesD.to get two degrees from two different universities58.American university students are usually under pressure of work because .A.their academic performance will affect their future careersB.they are heavily involved in student affairsC.they have to observe university disciplineD.they want to run for positions of authority59.Some students are enthusiastic for positions in student organizations probably because .A.they hate the constant pressure and strain of their studyB.they will then be able to stay longer in the universityC.such positions help them get better jobsD.such positions are usually well paid60.The student organizations seem to be effective in .A.dealing with the academic affairs of the universityB.ensuring that the students observe university regulationsC.evaluating students’performance by bringing them before a courtD.keeping up the students’ enthusiasm for social activities Cloze Test(20 points)Directions:There are 20 blanks in the following passage.For each

English.Read the passage carefully and translate it into Chinese.The advantage and disadvantage of a large population have a subject of discussion.It has been argued that the supply of good land is limited.To feed a large population,inferior land must be cultivated and the good land worked intensively.Thus each person produced less and this means a lower average income than could be obtained with a small population.Other economists have argued that a large population gives more scope for specialization and the development of facilities such as ports,roads and ports,roads and railways,which are not likely to be built unless there is a big demand to justify them.One of the difficulties in carrying out a world-wide birth control program lies in the fact that official attitudes to population growth vary from country to country, depending on the level of industrial development and the availability offood and raw materials. In the developing country where a vastly expanded population is pressing hard upon the limits of food, space and natural resources, it will be the first concern of government to place a limit on the birthrate, whatever the consequences may be.In a highly industrialized society the problem may be more complex.A decreasing birthrate may lead to unemployment because it results in a declining market for manufactured goods.When the pressure of population on housing declines,prices also decline and the building industry is weakened.Faced with considerations such as these,the government of a developed country may well prefer to see a slowly increasing population,rather than one which is stable or declines.V.WritingDirections:For this part,you are required to write a composition of 120 to 180 words.You should base your composition on the title and outline given below.Face-to-face or Other Types of Communication?(1)有的人喜欢面对面的交流，有的人喜欢打电话或发e-mail等其他交流方式。
