2024年江苏省一般高等学校“专转本”统一考试高校英语第I卷（共100分）Part I Reading Comprehension （共40分）Passage oneUnder proper conditions, sound waves will be reflected from a hillside or other such obstruction. Sound travels at the rate of about one-fifth of mile per second. If the hill is eleven hundred feet away, it takes two seconds for the sound to travel o the hill and back. Thus, by timing the interval between a sound and its reflection (the echo), you can estimate the distance to an obstruction.During word war 2 the British used a practical application of this principle to detect German planes on their way to bomb London long before the enemy was near the target. They used radio waves instead of sound waves, since radio waves can penetrate fog and clouds. The outnumbered Royal Air Force (RAF) always seemed to the puzzled Germans to be lying in wait at the right time and never to be surprised. It was radio echoes more than anything else that won the Battle of Britain.Since the radio waves were used to tell the direction in which to send the RAF planes and the distance to send them (their range of flight, in other words), the device was called radio directing and ranging, and from the initials the word radar was coined. (files come from )1. Sound waves reflected from a hill can be used to estimate the.A. heigt of the hillB. speed of soundC. distance to the hillD. intensite of sound2.

Exactly how radar worksB. Why the British used radio waves in their deviceC. How radar (work and device) came to beD. How radar helped the British win the Battle of BritainPassage TwoIn general, the ancient Romans were a practical people. They cared less about philosophy and pure mathematics than did the Greeks. The Romans were the best of the ancient engineers and architects. They were brilliant students of Greek geometry and trigonometry (三角学) , and they applied their knowledge to the construction of fine bridges, roads, aqueducts (渠道) , and public buildings.They knew about the smelting of iron ore, but they used the iron they produced mainly for spears, swords, and shields, rather than for building construction.While the Romans accomplished practical wonders, they did very little theoretical scientific thinking. Because of their frequent wars, many of their inventions were no more than improvements in the design of Greek weapons with which they were familiar.There are two reasons for the Romans neglect of philosophy and pure mathematics. First, they were apparently too busy conquering nearby nations and forming them into a rapidly growing empire to waste time on abstract thinking. Secondly, they were handicapped (阻碍) by the rigidity of their numerical system. (Try to multiply XI by LVII orto divide CXLIII by IX; it simply cannot be done with pencil and paper.) The Romans did all of their arithmetic on an abacus, the ancient counterpart of the modern computing machine. Their number system discouraged the study of pure mathematics.6. The author calls the Romans “practical” because theyA. Cared little about philosophyB. Applied their knowledge to constructionC. Saw the necessity for developing theoretical scienceD. Studied the past and learned from it7.The ancient Romans did not concern themselves withA. Theoretical or abstract thoughtB. applied mathematicsC. StudyingD. either A or C8.In construction, the Romans made extensive use ofA. Iron oreB. peometry and trigonometryC. StudyingD. both B and C9.Many Romans inventions were based on Greek weapons because theA. Greeks had superior weaponsBromines were involved in frequent warsC. Romans were not familiar with many types of weaponsD. Greek proved himself or herself inspired inventor10.The author of this passage probably wanted to explain whyA. He considers the Romans a practical peopleB. Roman were involved in frequent warsC. Theoretical thinking is necessary fir the growth of a nationD. The Romans contributed little to philosophical thoughtPassage ThreeProfessor Barry Wellman if University of Toronto in Canada has invented a term to describe the way many North Americans interacts these days. The term to have opposite meanings. How can we be individuals and be networked at the same time? You need other people for networks.Here is what Professor Wellman means. Before the invention of the Internet ande-mail, our social networks involved live interactions with relatives, neighbors, and colleagues at work. Some of the interaction was by phone, but it was still voice, person to person, in real time.A recent research study by the Pew Internet and Americans Life Project showed that for a lot of people, electronic interaction through the coputer has replaced this person-to-person interaction. However, a lot of people interviewed for the Pew study say that’s a good thing. Why?In the past, many people were worried that the Internet isolated us and caused us to spend too much time in the imaginary world of the computer. But the Pew study discovered that the opposite is true. The Internet connects us with MORE real people than expected-helpful-people who can give advice on careers, medical problems, raising children, and choosing a school or college. About 60 million American told Pew that the Internet plays an important role in helping them major life decisions.Thanks to the computer. “networked individuals” are able to be alone and together with other people-at the same time!11. the pew study was conducted inA. the United StatesB.

Which of the following was NOT one of the discoveries of Pew study?A. The Internet has put us in touch with more people than expected.B. People use the Internet to get advice on careers, medical problems, and otherquestions.C. For many Americans, the Internet plays an important role in helping them makeimportant decisions.D. “Internet addiction” is a growing problem among people who use computers. Passage four(非英语类学生必做)Summers with father were always enjoyable. Swimming, hiking, boating, fishing-the days were not long enough to contain all of activities. There never seemed to be enough time to go to church, which disturbed some friends and relations. Accused of neglecting this part of our education, my father instituted a summer school for my brother and me. However, his summer course included ancient history, which Papa felt our schools neglected, and navigation, in which we first had a formal examination in the dining room, part of which consisted of tying several knots in a given time limit. Then we were each separately sent on what was grandly referred to as a cruise in my father’s 18-foot knockabout, spending the night on board, and loaded down, according to formally plot our course, using the tide table, even though our goal was an island I could see quite clearly across the water in the distance.16.

The first of these was a colonial institution. It began in New England with the establishment in 1635 of the Boston Free Latin School. The curriculum consisted mainly of the classical languages, and the purpose of this kind of school was the preparation of boys for college, where most of them would be fitted for the ministry.The academy began in the early 1750’s with Benjamin Franklin’s school in Philadelphia, which later became the University of Pennsylvania. It extended generally to about the middle of the nineteenth century, except in the southern states where the public high school was late in developing and where the academy continued a principal means of secondary education even after 2900. the academy was open to girls as well as to boys, and it provided a wider curriculum than the Latin grammar school had furnished. It was designed not only as a wider curriculum than the Latin grammar school had furnished. It was designed not only as a preparation for college but also for practical life in commercial and business activities. Although its wide educational values were evident and are recognized as important contributions to secondary education in this country, the academy was never considered a public institution as the public high school has come to be.The public high school had its origin in Massachusetts in 1821 when the EnglandClassicalSchool was established in Boston. In 1827, that state enacted the first state-wide public high-school law in the United States. By 1840, there were perhaps a dozen public high schools in Massachusetts and many in other eastern states; by 1850, they were also to be found in many other states.Just as the curriculum of the academy grew out of that of the Latin grammar school, so the curriculum of the public high school developed out of the academy. The public high school in the United States is a rejection of the aristocratic (贵族) and selective principle of the European educational tradition. Since 1890, enrollments in secondary schools, mainly public high schools, have practically doubled in this country every ten years.16.

From the airport, my friend and I 66 a taxi to my hotel. On the way, I saw the skyline of Manhattan for the first time and I stared in 67 at the famous Word Trade Centre, the tallest building in the word. My friend helped me 68 at the hotel and then left because he had to go 69 to work. He promised to return the next day.Shortly after he left, I went to a 70 near the hotel to get something to eat. As I cou ldn't speak 71 of english, I couldn’t tell the 72 what I wanted. I was very upset and started to make some gestures, but the waiter didn’t 73 me.

But how much sleep do we actually need?For most of us, eight hours seems to be about the right amount. Yet we know that there are many people who get 61 perfectly with less sleep, and some who may need 62 . A great deal depends on the 63 we live. But a good general rule 64 is to sleep as long as we have to in order to feel happy and be able to work 65 our best when we awaken.There are actually different 66 of sleep. There is a deep sleep and shallow sleep. In a shallow sleep our body does not get the same kind of rest it gets in a 67 sleep, 68 after eight hours of a shallow sleep we may still feel tired.

Once, during the night before an important battle, he remained 71 longer than anyone else. 72 he wrapped himself in a cloak and 73 down on the earth. He slept so 74 that his generals had to wake him three times for him to give the 75 to atack!Normally when we sleep, our “sleep center” blocks off nerves so that 76 our brain and body go to sleep. 77 prevents us from wanting to do anything, and the other 78our internal organs and limbs go to sleep. 79 sometmes only one goes to sleep and the other does not. A very tired soldier can sometimes 80 asleep (brain sleep) and keep on marching, because his body is not asleep.61. A. across B. away C. along D. over62. A. more B. much C. least D. little63.

Firstly, learning a second language opens up new opportunities for personal and professional growth. It allows individuals to connect with people from different backgrounds and cultures, fostering greater understanding and empathy. Additionally, being bilingual has been shown to improve cognitive skills such as problem-solving, multitasking, and memory retention.Furthermore, language is a key aspect of cultural identity, and learning a second language can help individuals gain a deeper appreciation and understanding of different cultures. For example, by learning Spanish, I was able to immerse myself in the rich history and traditions of Spanish-speaking countries, broadening my perspective and challenging my preconceived notions. In a globalized world where diversity is celebrated, the ability to speak more than one language can also provide a competitive edge in the job market.In conclusion, learning a second language is not just about mastering vocabulary and grammar; it is about embracing diversity, fostering cultural exchange, and expanding one's horizons. As the world becomes increasingly interconnected, the importance of being bilingual cannot be understated. By learning a second language, individuals not only enhance their communication skills but also enrich their lives in profound ways.Overall, the 2024 Jiangsu Specialized Undergraduate Entrance Examination for English aims to assess students' reading comprehension, vocabulary, grammar, and writing skills.

Teenagers，however, have many more opportunities to get stressed than people in any other age group. Being a teenager is hard. You are not a child any more, but you are not an adult, even though you have to deal with some very grown-up problems and decisions. Families can be one of the biggest causes of stress, such as problems with parents arguing at home or problems with brothers and sisters. Teenagers also have a lot of stress from school, either from their teachers or from their friends. Some teenagers also feel stressed about choosing their education after high school. Getting a place at university can be very difficult and some cannot afford to go to university. The stress about getting a job when finishing school is hard for some teenagers. There are so many young people finishing school and not enough jobs for them. Sadly, there is nothing we can do to remove these causes of stress from the 1ives of teenagers, but you can learn the best way to deal with it. Talking to people is one of the best ways to deal with stress. It may sound simple, but it is true. A problem shared is a problem halved.6. Why is being a teenager often difficult？A.

An Arab traveler in India in the year 900 wrote that it was played “long ago”. Chess was probably invented in India, and it has been played everywhere from Japan to Europe since 1400. The name “chess” is interesting. When one player is attacking the other's king, he says, in English, “check”. When t he king has been caught and cannot move anywhere, he says, “checkmate”. These words come from Persian.“Shah mat” means “the king is dead”. That is when the game is over, and one player has won.Such an old game changes very slowly. The rules have not always been the same as they are now. For example, at one time the queen could only move one square at a time. Now she is the strongest piece on the board. It could be interesting to know why this has happened! Chess takes time and thought, but it is a game for all kinds of people. You don't have to be a champion in order to enjoy it. It is not always played by two people sitting at the same table. The first time the Americans beat the Russians was in a match played by radio. Some of the chess masters are able to play among many people at the same time. The record was when one man played 400 games! It is said that some people play chess by post. This must take chess the slowest game in the world.11. Which of the following is known to be TRUE?A. Chess is an old Indian traveling game.B. Chess is the oldest game in the world.C. Chess was played in Japan and Europe before 1400.D. Chess was played in India before 900.12. One player has won the game when ________.A. he attacks the other player's kingB. he says some Persian wordsC. the other player's king can not move anywhereD. he says “check” to the other player13. Which of the following will you hear when one player has won the game?A. “Shah mat”B. “Check”C. “The king is dead”D. “Check mate”14. Which of the following is NOT correct?A. All kinds of people can play chess.B. Only two people can play chess sitting at the same table.C. Some people write to each other playing chess.D. The Russian lost the game played by radio.15. According to the old rule of the game _________.A. the queen was the strongest piece on the boardB. the king had to be attacked all the timeC. the queen could move no more than one square at a timeD. The king could not move anywhereII. Vocabulary and Structure （本题共15小题，每题1分，共15分）Directions: For each of the following sentences there are four choices marked A, B, C and D.

I. Reading Comprehension（本题共 20 小题，每题 2 分共 40 分）Directions: There are 4 reading passages in this part. Each passage is followed by some questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four suggested answers marked A.B.C and D. Choose the best answer to each question.Passage OneIf one is asked about the best way to improve one's reading ability, it is of course, to read. As a student, you must make a real effort to improve both your reading speed and your comprehension. Too many students read passively and without judgment; they simply start at the first word and read through to the end. You should read a passage actively, selectively and purposefully. You must believe that you indeed have the ability to read faster and understand more, and that you will.Reading, like everything else in life, is best done when you are relaxed. The key to improve it is concentration. You must be willing to break some old habits and form new ones. Extra body movement, such as turning the head from side to side, pointing at the line with a finger or a pencil, or moving the lips, should be stopped immediately. Reading is mostly a mental process and body movement helps neither speed nor comprehension. Then you shouldsee words as part of a whole sentence or paragraph, not just in isolation. This is why a slow, word-by-word student often understands far less, missing much of the joy and excitement of reading.The student must learn to improve reading skills on their own, and not just when a teacher is looking over his shoulder. Reading improvement takes discipline and effort. Don't give up.1.If you want to improve your reading ability, you should .A. read each word in the passage carefullyB. read with choice, purpose and confidenceC. start at the first wordD. read a passage completely from the beginning to the end2.The best title of the passage might be “”.A. How to Improve Your Reading AbilityB. How to Cultivate Good Habits in ReadingC. Developing Reading MethodsD. Getting Rid of Your Bad Habits While Reading3.Best reading efficiency can be achieved if one .A. reads paragraph by paragraphB. reads in great detailC. reads with focusD. reads as fast as possible4.According to the author, all the following are the bad habits in reading EXCEPT.A. moving the lipsB. pointing at words with somethingC. holding a book in handsD. turning the head from side to side5.The phrase "looking over his shoulder" in Paragraph 3 may best be replaced by “”.A. watching himB. examining his shoulderC. encouraging himD. looking at someone behind himPassage TwoOur memories can be both sweet and bitter. Many people spend all their lives to forget those bitter ones. Violence and traffic accidents, esp. can leave people with terrible physicaland emotional scars. Often they relive these experiences in nightmares.Now American researchers are developing a pill which will help people forget bad memories. The pill is designed to be taken immediately after a frightening experience. They hope it might reduce, or possibly erase, the effect of painful memories.In November, experts tested a drug on people in the US and France. The drug stops the body from releasing chemicals that fix memories in the brain. So far the research has suggested that only the emotional effects of memories may be reduced, not that the memories are erased.The research has caused a great deal of argument. Some think it is a bad idea, while others support it.Supporters say it could lead to pills that prevent or treat soldiers' troubling memories after war. They say that there are many people who suffer from terrible memories."Some memories can ruin people's lives. They come back to you when you don't want to have them in a daydream or nightmare. They usually come with very painful emotions." said Roger Pit man, a professor of psychiatry at Harvard Medical School. "This could relieve a lot of that suffering."But those who are against the research say that changing memories is very dangerous because memories give us our identity(特质). They also help us all avoid the mistakes of the past."All of us can think of bad events in our lives that were horrible at the time but make us who we are. I'm not sure we want to wipe those memories out." said Rebecca Dresser, a medical ethicist.6.The passage is mainly about .A. a new medical inventionB. an argument about the research on the pillC. a way of erasing painful memoriesD. a new research on the pill7.American researchers are developing a pill to .A. comfort those people who are in a frightening experienceB. help those people to forget their frightening experienceC. persuade those people to forget their frightening experienceD. test those people's degree of fright in a frightening experience8.The drug tested on people can .A. prevent the body from producing certain chemicalsB. relieve people of the mental tensionC. cause the brain to fix memoriesD. wipe out the memories of bad experiences9.We can infer from the passage that .A. people supporting the research believe that the pill will stop people's bad experiencesB. people supporting the research believe the pill will help people to reduce the harm caused by bad experiencesC. people against the research believe that the effect of the pills may not bed desirableD. people against the research believe that the pill will cause them to make mistakes10. Which of the following does Rebecca Dresser agree with?A. Some memories can ruin people's lives.B. People want to get rid of bad memories.C. The pill will reduce people's suffering from bad memories.D. Experiencing bad events makes us different from others.Passage ThreeLarge modern cities are too big to control. They impose their own living conditions on the people who live in them. Persons living in cities are obliged by their environment to take a wholly unnatural way of life. They lose touch with the land and the rhythm of the nature. It is possible to live such an air-conditioned existence that you are barely conscious of the seasons. A few flowers in a public park (if you have time to visit it) may remind you that it is spring or summer. A few leaves clinging to the pavement may remind you that it is autumn. Beyond that, what is going on in nature seems totally irrelevant. All the simple, good things of life like sunshine and fresh air are difficult to obtain. and therefore are highly valued. Traffic fumes pollute the atmosphere. Tall building hide the sun completely. Even the distinction between day and night is lost.rge modem cities impose their living condition on people in thatA. sunshine and fresh air are availableB. living conditions are improvedC. beautiful landscape can be foundD. air-conditioned houses are provided12.Which is NOT one of the reasons why city life is not more desirable?A. Tall buildings hide the sun completely.B. Modern cities are too big to control.C. Modern cities offer better schools and more chances of employment.D. People are barely conscious of the seasons.13.According to the passage, the following can be the reasons for the loss of distinction between day and night except thatA. persons living in cities live in air-conditioned housesB. people lose touch with the natureC. people are traveling through different time zonesD. the sun was hidden from view by tall buildings14.If you want to know what season it is,A. it is advisable for you to live in an air-conditioned houseB. you'd better visit a public parkC. you should go out to see the sunshine and breathe the fresh airD. you should walk on the pavement15.Which statement is NOT true according to the passage?A. Large modern cities are too big to controlB. Sunshine and fresh air are rare in large modern cities.C. There are many disadvantages of living in large modern cities.D. All the simple, good things of life are imposed on the people who live in large cities.Passage FourRobots in use now are taking over the blue-collar jobs of less educated Americans, but artificial intelligence (AI) is probably ready to shake up college-educated employees in higher-paying jobs. This will leave no worker unaffected by the influence of technology on the American workforce.AI is generally regarded as programming computers to do things that normally require human intelligence-tasks such as planning, learning, reasoning and problem-solving. Muro, asenior fellow at the Brookings Institute, and his colleagues analyzed which jobs would be the most highly affected by artificial intelligence. What they learned is that almost every profession will feel Al's effects.But it’s hard to predict whether AI will take the place of more highly skilled workers in the same way robots have done to lower-skilled workers. AI might create entirely new jobs for humans. "We can't really say whether AI will lead to the support of work or its opposite. Both things could happen." says Muro.Jobs performed by people with a four-year college degree could be the hardest hit. These include market research analysts, sales managers, programmers, management analysts and engineers. Positions that are heavily involved in pattern-oriented or “predictive work” are more likely to be affected, according to the analysis.Of course, this is not the first time American workers have been influenced or potentially influenced by technology. The challenge, as Muro sees, it is to determine how humans can add value. He believes that human beings are durable in the face of new technologies. The question is how to help people accept training again, seek new work, and how they can adjust to it, or if their careers break down from this, how to provide a better social safety net.16.Who can AI affect most in the American workforce?A. Senior workers.B. Blue-collar workers.C. More-educated employees.D. Inexperienced employees.17.What did Muro and his colleagues find out?A. AI is considered as programming computers to complete tasks.B. AI can deal with tasks such as planning and reasoning.C. AI is better at problem-solving than humans.D. AI can affect almost every field.18.What can we infer from what Muto says?A. AI will replace some skilled workers.B. AI will play as a double-edged sword.C. AI will develop in the same way as robots.D. AI will create entirely new jobs for humans.19.Which of the following positions are NOT likely to be replaced by AI?A. Management analysts.B. Sales managers.C. Programmers.D. Fashion designers.20.What should human beings do in face of the challenges posed by AI?A. Use their potential to adjust to it.B. Work harder than before.C. Wait for another opportunity.D. Learn to be durable.II. Vocabulary and Structure ( 本题共 15 小题，每题 1 分，共 15 分 )Directions: For each of the following sentences there are four choices marked A.B.C and D.

For each of them there are 4 choices marked A,B,C and D. You should decide on the best choice and mark your answer by blackening the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet .Passage OneQuestions 1 to 5 based on the following passage .We use both words and gestures to express our feelings ,but the problem is that these words and gestures can be understood in different ways .It is true that a smile means the same thing in any language . So does laughter or crying . There are also a number of striking similarities in the way different animals show the same feelings . Dogs , tigers and humans , for example , often show their teeth when they are angry . This is probably because they are born with those behavior patterns .Fear is another emotion that is shown in much the same way all over the world . In Chinese and English literature , a phrase like “he went pale and began to trem ble”suggests that the man is either very afraid or deeply shocked . However , “he opened his eyes wide ” is used to suggest anger in Chinese whereas in English it means surprise . In Chinese surprise can be described in a phrase like “they stretched out their tongues ”. Sticking out your tongue in English is an insulting gesture or expresses strong dislike .Even in the same culture , people differ in the ability to understand and express feelings Experiments in America have shown that women are usually better than men at recognizing fear ,anger love and happiness on people’s faces . Other studies show that older people usually find it easier to recognize or understand body language than younger people do .1.According to the passage , .A.we can hardly understand what people’s gestures meanB.words and gestures may have different meanings in different culturesC.words can be better understand by older peopleD.gestures can be better understand by most of the people while words can not2.People’s facial expressions may be misunderstand because。

2012年江苏五年一贯制专转本英语真题试卷2012年江苏省普通高校“专转本”统一考试大学英语试卷Part I Reading Comprehension (共20小题，每小题2分，共40分)Directions: There are 4 passages in this part. Each passage is followed by some questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. You should decide on the best choice and mark the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet. Passage 1Questions 1 to 5 are based on the following passage.Different countries and different races have different manners. Before entering a house insome Asian countries，it is good manners to take off your shoes. In European countries, even though shoes sometimes become very muddy, this is not done. A guest in a Chinesehouse sometimes does not finish a drink. He leaves a little, to show that he has had enough. In a Malay house, too, a guest always leaves a little food. In England, a guest always finishes a drink to show that he enjoys it.We should like to find the customs of other races, so that they will not think us ill-mannered. But people all over the world agree that being well-mannered really means being kind and helping others, especially those older or weaker than ourselves. If you remember this, you will not go very far wrong.Here are some examples of the things that a well-mannered person does or does not do.He never laughs at people when they are in trouble. He is always kind either to people or to animals. When people are waiting for a bus, or in a post office, he lines up to wait for his turn. In the bus, he gives his seat to an older personor a lady who is standing. It he accidentally bumps into (碰撞) someone, or gets in their way, he says,“Excuse me”or “I'm sorry”.He says "Please" when making a request, and "Thank you" when he receives something. He stands up when speaking to a lady or an older person, and he does not sit down until the other person is seated. He does not talk too much about himself. When eating, he does not speak with his mouth full of food.( ) 1. According to the passage, a knowledge of the customs of other races .A. is very usefulB. is unnecessaryC. is unimportantD. does not mean much( ) 2. A person with good manners think of .A. the older before himselfB. himself before othersC. no one but himselfD. his personal interests( ) 3. Which of the following is NOT true? A well-mannered person usually .A. says "Please" when making a requestB. makes an apology for bumping into someone accidentallyC. sits where he is when speaking to a ladyD. tries to help those who are in trouble ( ) 4. If you want to be well-mannered, .A. you laugh at people when they are in troubleB. it's all right to speak with your mouth full of foodC. you should stop someone when he is talkingD. you should speak after someone else has finished( ) 5. As different countries have different manners, .A. it's unnecessary to learn their mannersB. we should try to find out the differences in the customsC. it should be wrong to go out of one's way to do anythingD. learning a little second language would be helpfulPassage 2Questions 6 to 10 are based on the following passage.I entered St.Thomas's Hospital as a medical student at the age of 18 and spent five years there. I was an unsatisfactory student, for my heart was not in it . I had always wanted to be a writer, and in the evenings, after my tea, I wrote and read. Before long, I wrote a novel,called Liza of Lambeth,which I sent to the publisher and was accepted. It appeared during my last year at the hospital and had something of a success. I felt I could afford to give up medicine and make writing my profession; so, three days after I graduated from the school of medicine, I set out for Spain to write another book. Looking back now, and knowing the terrible difficulties of making a living by writing, I realize I was taking a fearful risk. The next ten years were very hard, and I earned an average of £100 a year. Then I had a bit of luck. The manager of the Court Theatre put on a play that failed; the next play he had arranged to put on was not ready, and he was at his wits’end. He read a play of mine and, though he did not much like it, he thought it might just run for the six weeks till the play he had in mind to follow it with could be produced.It ran for fifteen months. Within a short while, I had four plays running in London at the same time. Nothing of the kind had ever happened before. I was the talk of the town.( ) 6. When the author was a medical student, he .A. had some trouble with his heartB. was a very good student.C. wanted to be a writer after graduationD. was satisfied with what he was doing at the time( ) 7. When the author wrote his first novel, .A. he sent it to a publisher but it was not acceptedB. he was still studying at the medical schoolC. he succeeded in publishing it thought it was not a successD. he had graduated from the medical school( ) 8. The author gave up medicine because at that time .A. he thought he could make a living by writingB. he knew the success of the book was naturalC. he knew it was no risk to be a writerD. he was quite rich after the success of his book( ) 9. For the first ten years of his writing career after his graduation, the author earned an average of £ 100 a year, which was .A. a great sumB. a bit of luckC. a small sumD. a moderate success( ) 10.The manager of the Court Theatreagreed to put on the author's play because .A. he thought the author was a good playwrightB. he liked the author's plays very muchC. he failed to arrange a new play in timeD. he heard that the author had studied medicine beforePassage 3Questions 11 to 12are based on the following passage.In the last 500 years, nothing about people---not their clothes, ideas, or languages --- has changed as much as what they eat. The original chocolate drink was made from the seeds of the coca tree by South American Indians. The Spanish introduced it to the rest of the world during the 1500's. And although itwas very expensive, it quickly became fashionable. In London, shops where chocolate drinks were served became important meeting places. Some still exist today.The potato is also from the New World. Around 1600, the Spanish brought it from Peru to Europe, where it soon was widely grown. Ireland became so dependent on it that thousands of Irish people starved when the crop failed during the "Potato Famine" of 1845-1846, and thousands more were forced to emigrate to America. There are many other foods that have traveled from South America to the Old World. But some others went in the opposite direction. Brazil is now the world’s largest grower of coffee, and coffee is an important crop in Colombia and other South American countries. But it is native to Ethiopia. It was first made into a drink by Arabs duringthe 1400s.According to an Arabic legend, coffee was discovered by a goatherd named Kaldi. He noticed that his goats were attracted to the red berries on a coffee bush. He tried one and experienced the "wide-awake" feeling that one-third of the world's population now starts the day with.( ) 11. According to the passage, has changed the most in the last 500 years.A. FoodB. ClothingC. IdeologyD. Language( ) 12. "Some" in "Some still exist today"(Para.1) meansA. some cocoa treesB. some chocolate drinksC. some shopsD. some South American Indians( ) 13. Thousands of Irish people starvedduring the "Potato Famine" becauseA. they were so dependent on the potato that they refused to eat anything elseB. they were forced to emigrate to AmericaC. the weather conditions in Ireland were not suitable for growing the potatoD. the potato harvest was bad( ) 14. Coffee originally came fromA. BrazilB. ColombiaC. EthiopiaD. Egypt( ) 15. The Arabic legend is used to prove thatA. coffee was first discovered by KaldiB. coffee was first discovered by Kaldi's goatsC. coffee was first discovered in South American countriesD. coffee drinks were first made by ArabsPassage 4Questions 16 to 20 are based on the following passage.Around the world more and more people are taking part in dangerous sports and activities. Of course, there have always been people who have looked for adventures--- those who have climbed the highest mountains, explored unknown parts of the world or sailed in small boats across the greatest oceans. Now, however, there are people who seek an immediate thrill from a risky activity which may only last a few minutes or even seconds.I would consider bungee jumping to be a good example of such an activity. You jump from a high place (perhaps a bridge or a hot-air balloon) 200 metres above the ground with an elastic rope tied to your ankles. You fall at up to150 kilometres an hour till the rope stops you from hitting the ground. It is estimated that about 2 million people around the world have now tried bungee jumping. Other activities as risky as bungee jumping involve jumping from tall building and diving into the sea from the top of high cliffs. Why do people take part in such activities as these? Some psychologists suggest that it is because life in modern societies has become safe and boring. Not very long ago, people's lives were constantly under threat. They had to go out and hunt for food, diseases could not easily be cured, and life was a continuous battle for survival.Nowadays, according to many people, life offers little excitement. They live and work in comparatively safe environment; they buy food in shops; and there are doctors and hospitals to look after them if they become ill. The answerfor some of these people is to seek danger in activities such as bungee jumping.( ) 16. The best title for the passage would beA. Dangerous Sports: What and WhyB. The Boredom of Modem LifeC. Bungee jumping: Is It Really Dangerous?D. The Need for Excitement( ) 17. More and more people todayA. are trying activities such as bungee jumpingB. are climbing the highest mountainsC. are coming close to death in sportsD. are exploring unknown places( ) 18. In bungee jumping, youA. jump as high as you canB. slide down a rope to the groundC. attach yourself to a rope and fall to the groundD. fall towards the ground without a rope ( ) 19. People probably take part in dangerous sports nowadays becauseA. they have a lot of free timeB. they can go to hospital if they are injuredC. their lives lack excitementD. they no longer need to hunt for food ( ) 20. The writer of the passage has a attitude towards dangerous sports.A. positiveB. negativeC. neutralD. nervousPart II Vocabulary and Structure (共40小题，每小题1分，共40分)Directions: In this part there are forty incomplete sentences. Each sentence is followed by fourchoices.

"He was carrying an old pair of trousers and asked the owner of the shop, "How much will you give me for these?" The man looked at them and then said: "Two dollars.""What !" said Tom. "I had guessed they were worth at least five dollars.""No," said the man, "they aren't worth a cent more than two dollars.""Well," said Tom, taking two dollars out of his pocket. "Here's your money. These trousers were hanging outside your shop. The list price (标价)of them was six dollars and a half. But I thought that was too much money, so I wanted to find out how much they were really worth."Then he walked out of the shop with the pair of trousers and disappeared before the shop owner could think of anything to say.1.

Reading ComprehensionPassage OneThe TV play Zheng He is broadcasted on CCTV and the great Chinese traveler comes gradually back to us. It reminds us of a lot of excitement.Zheng He, the Columbus of the east, was an amazing man. He was born in 1371 and, 11 years later, was caught by the army of a rich young man called Zhu Di and made to word for him. Over time the rich man saw that Zheng He was very clever and strong and they became close friends. In 1403, Zhu Di was made the king of China and asked Zheng He to join his new government.The King wanted to learn more about the world and show other countries his power. He ordered many new ships to be built and made Zheng He the leader. Between 1405 and 1433, he led seven sea ships to different parts of the world. He certainly traveled to India, Africa and the Middle East. Some people insist that his ships may have even reached South Africa and Australia.Each trip lasted between two and four years and it is believed he sailed more than 50,000 kilometers during his travels. With 28,000 men and over 300 ships, such as boats for food, water and even soldiers’ horses, Zheng He led a fleet whose size would not be equaled by Europeans for over 500 years.On these trips, he brought with him many Chinese goods like silk and medicine to give to the foreign kings or to sell for local goods. He returned from each trip with boats filled with expensive things such as gold and jewellery, foreign guests and strange animals like a giraffe.It is a pity that we may never learn everything about Zheng He’s travels. After he died in 1433, the new king, who thought these trips were unlucky and cost too much, had them stopped and he burned almost all the books about Zheng He’s travels. It is only in the last 50 years, that historians have carefully studied the adventures of the great Zheng He.1. Why did the Chinese King order Zheng He to sail to many different countries?A.

His parents always had him weeding the garden, carrying out the rubbish and delivering newspapers. But when John reached adulthood, he was better off than his childhood playmates. He had more job satisfaction, a better marriage and was healthier. Most of all, he was happier. Far happier.These are the findings of a 40-year study that followed the lives of 456 teenage boys from Boston. The study showed that those who had worked as boys enjoyed happier and more productive lives than those who had not. “Boys who worked in the home or community gained competence (能力) and came to feel they were worthwhile members of society,” said George Vaillant, the psy chologist (心理学家) who made the discovery, “And because they felt good about themselves, others felt good about them.”Vaillant’s study followed these males in great detail. Interviews were repeated at ages 25, 31 and 47. Under Vaillant, the researchers compared the men’s mental-health scores with their boyhood-activity scores. Scores weregiven to such things as part-time jobs, housework, effort in school, and ability to deal with problems.The link between what the men had down as boys and how they turned out as adults was surprisingly sharp. Those who had done the most boyhood activities were twice as likely to have warm relations with a wide variety of people, five times as likely to be well paid and 16 times less likely to have been unemployed. The researchers also found that IQ and family social and economic class made no real difference in how the boys turned out. Working – at any age – is important. Childhood activities help a child develop responsibility, independence, confidence and competence – the underpinnings (基础) of emotional health. They also help him understand that people must cooperate and work toward common goals. The most competent adults are those who know how to do this. Yet work isn’t everything. As Tolstoy once said “One can live m agnificently inthis world if one knows how to work and how to love, to work for the person one loves and to love one’s work.”6. What do we know about John?A. He enjoyed his career and marriage.B. He had few childhood playmates.C. He received little love from his family.D. He was envied by others in his childhood.7. Vaillant’s words in Paragraph 2 serve as __________.A. a description of personal values and social valuesB. an analysis of how work was related to competenceC. an example for parent s’ expectations of their childrenD. an explanation why some boys grew into happy men8. Vaillant’s team obtained their findings by __________.A. recording the boys’ effort in schoolB. evaluating the men’s mental healthC. comparing different sets of scoresD. measuring the men’s problem-solving ability9. What does the underlined word “sharp” probably mean in Paragraph 4?A. quick to reactB. having a thin edgeC. clear and definiteD. sudden and rapid10. What can be inferred from the last paragraph?A. Competent adults know more about love than work.B. Emotional health is essential to a wonderful adult life.C. Love brings more joy to people than work does.D. Independence is the key to one’s success.Passage ThreeAlthough some traditional meals in Britain, like roast beef and pudding or fish and chips, remain popular, there had been a significant change in eating habits among the population over the last ten years or so. The increase in the consumption of rice and pasts may be partly responsible for the decline (下降)in that of potatoes. The consumption of meat – with the exception of that of poultry (禽类) which is now at a record level – has also fallen. Skimmed milk now constitutes more than half of the total household consumption of liquid milk. There has been a decline in the total consumption of cooking and spreading fats, with large falls in butter usage. Instead, the consumption of vegetable andsalad oils and reduced fat spreads increase rapidly. A switch in fish consumption away from fresh white fish towards canned fish and shellfish hasbeen evident.
