Reading Comprehension (60 points)Directions:There are four reading passages in this part. Each passage is followed by fiv e questions. For each question there are four suggested answers marked A, B, C and D. Choose one best answer and blacken the corresponding letter on the Answ er Sheet.Passage OneIn ancient times wealth was measured and exchanged in things that could be touched: food, tools, and precious metals and stones. Then the barter system was replaced by coins, which still had real value since they were pieces of rare metal. Coins were followed by fiat money, paper notes that have value only because ev eryone agrees to accept them.Today electronic monetary systems are gradually being introduced that will tra nsform money into even less tangible forms, reducing it to a series of “bits and b ytes”, or units of com puterized information, going between machines at the speed of light. Already, electronic fund transfer allows money to be instantly sent and re ceived by different banks, companies, and countries through computers and teleco mmunications devices.61. Which of the following would be the most appropriate title for the passa ge?A. International Banking PoliciesB. The History of Monetary ExchangeC. The Development of Paper CurrenciesD. Current Problems in the Econom y62. According to the passage, which of the following was the earliest kind of exchange of wealth?A. Bartered foodsB. Fiat moneyC. Coin currencyD. Intangible forms63. The author mentions food, tools and precious metals and stones together because they are all ________.A. useful itemsB. articles of valueC. difficult things to obtainD. material objects64. According to the passage, coins once had real value as currency because they ______.represented a great improvement over barterpermitted easy transportation of wealthwere made of precious metalscould become collector’s items65. Which of the following statements about computerized monetary systems i s NOT supported by the passage?They promote international trade.They allow very rapid money transfers.They are still limited to small transactions (交易).They are dependent on good telecommunications systems.Passage TwoAt the University of Kansas art museum, scientists tested the effect of differe nt colored walls on two groups of visitors to an exhibit of paintings. For the first group the room was painted white; for the second, dark brown. Movement of ea ch group was followed by an electrical equipment under the carpet. The experime nt showed that those who entered the dark brown walked more quickly, covered more area, and spent less time in the room than people in the white one. Dark br own made people more active, but the activity ended sooner. Not only the choice of colors but also the general appearance of a room affects those inside. Another experiment presented people with photographs of faces whose energy was to be c ommented. Three groups of people were used; each was shown the same photos, but each group was in an ordinary room—a nice office. The third was in a tastef ully designed living room with carpeting. Results showed that the people in the b eautiful room tend to give higher marks to the faces than those in the ugly room did. Other studies that students do better on tests taken in comfortable room than in ordinary-looking or ugly rooms.66. Which of the following is the best expression of the main idea of this pa ssage?People in beautiful rooms tend to give higher marks to photos of faces than people in ugly roomsThe color and general appearance of a room have a deeper effect on the beh avior of the people in itThe University of Kansas has studied the effects of the color of room on peo ple’s behaviorBeautifully furnished, light-coloured rooms make people more comfortable tha n ugly, dark rooms67. According to the passage, we may conclude that the whiter a room is __ ______.A. the longer people like to stay in itB. the sooner people in it will leaveC. the more active people in it will becomeD. the more excited people68. What is referred to as the “general appearance” in this passage is ______ __.how many broad windows a room has, through which sunlight might come in the size of a roomwhether there are beautiful walls in a roomwhat the room looks like69. This passage provides us with _______.A. a piece of scientific informationB. a normal lessonC. an interesting testD. a piece of news70. At least how many tests were carried out by the scientists referred to in this passage?A. ThreeB. TwoC. Only oneD. No one knowsPassage ThreeThe water we drink and use is running short in the world. We all have to le arn how to stop wasting our limited water. One of the steps we should take is to find ways of reusing it. Experiments have already been done in this field.Today in most large cities, fresh water is used only once, then it runs into w aste system. But it is possible to pipe the used water to a purifying factory. Ther e it can be filtered and treated with chemicals so that it can be used again, just a s it were fresh from a spring.But even if every large city purified and reused its water, we still would not have enough. Then we could turn to the oceans. All we’d have to do to make u se of the seawater on earth is to get rid of the salt. This process is called desalin ization, and it is already in use in many parts of the world.71. The way to stop wasting our limited water is to ________.A. do experiments with waterB. purify the used water and reuse itC. use fresh water once againD. make use of seawater72. The following tells us how to reuse the used water. Which is the right o rder of the passage?A. to have the used water filteredB. to put chemicals in itC. to pipe it to the usersD. to pipe the used water to be purified to a facto ry73. There wouldn’t be enough water for us if we didn’t _________.A. turn to the oceans for more waterB. reuse used water and make use of s eawaterC. desalt seawaterD. take steps to reuse all water on earth74. The would “it” in the last sentence refers to _______.A. seawaterB. purified waterC. the process of getting rid of the salt in seawaterD. the process of collecting salt from the sea oceans75. The best title for the passage is “_______”.A. How to Reuse WaterB. Two Solutions to the Problem of Water ShortageC. Stop Wasting Our Limited WaterD. How to Make Use of SeawaterPassage FourSome people hate everything that is modern. They cannot imagine how anyon e can really like modern music; they find it hard to accept the new fashions in cl othing; they think that all modern painting is ugly; and they seldom have a good word for the new buildings that are being built everywhere in the world. Such pe ople look for perfection in everything, and they take their standards of perfection from the past. They are usually impatient with anyone who is brave enough to ex periment with new or to express himself or the age in materials original ways. It is, of course, true that many artists do not succeed in their work and instead prod uce works that can only be considered as failures. If the work of art is a painting, the artist’s failure concerns himself alone, but if it is a building, his failure conc erns others too, because it may damage the beauty of the whole place. This does sometimes happen, but it is completely untrue to say, as some people do, that mo dern architecture is nothing.We can’t judge every modern building by the standards of the ancient time, even though we admire the ancient buildings. Technologically, the modern building s are more advanced. The modern architect knows he should learn from the ancie nt works, but with his greater resources of knowledge and materials, he will never be content to imitate the past. He is too proud to do that.76. Some people hate everything that is modern because _______.A. they are agedB. they find it hard to accept modern thingsC. they take their standards of perfection from the GreekD. they look at things by the standards of the past77. The writer of the passage thinks that ________.it is true to say artists fail in their workit is untrue to say artists fail in their workit is true to say some artists fail in their workit is true to say only painters fail in their work78. The writer thinks the failure of a building _______.A. means nothingB. concerns othersC. concerns only the artistD. concerns all the people in the world79. The writer thinks that _________.we can’t judge buildings by the ancient standardswe can’t judge all the buildings by the ancient standardswe can’t judge all the modern buildings by the ancient standardswe can’t judge modern buildings80. Technologically, the modern buildings are more advanced. The sentence m eans _____.the ancient architects had no technologythe modern architects use more advanced technologythe modern buildings are advanced because they are completely different from the ancient buildingsthe modern buildings are more beautifulⅤ.

Cloze (30 points)Directions: For each blank in the following passage, there are four choices marked A,B,C and D. Choose the one that is most suitable and mark your answer by blackening the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet.Scientists have been struggling to find out the reason behind blushing(脸红). Why would human evolve(进化) a 21 that puts us at a social disadvantage by 22 us to reveal that we have cheated or lied.Charles Darwin pointed out that 23 all people of all races blush, animals do not. When it came to explaining the reason, he was 24 a loss. That has not stopped others from trying.One 25 is that blushing started out as a way to show we obey authoritative members of the group. Later, as our social interactions became 26 complex, it became involved with higher, self-conscious 27 such as guilt, shame and embarrassment. This would seem to put individuals ata disadvantage, but blushing might actually make it a person more 28 or socially desirable.29 that women blush more than men, one university researcher suggests that blushing might have evolved as a way for women to 30 their honesty to men so as to win their support in raising children. Some zoologists also think blushing could have emerged as away to foster trust. "If you were to go hunting31 a stone-faced partner, you could never 32 what he wants." he says. Once blushing became 33 with embarrassment, anyone who did not blush might have been at a disadvantage because we are 34 likely to trust someone who appears never to feel 35 about anything.21. A. response B. reply C. reflection D. recall22. A. forbidding B. forcing C. encouraging D. preventing23. A. when B. while C. since D. because24. A.on B. in C. at D. of25.

Reading Comprehension (60 points)Directions: There are five reading passages in this part. Each passage is followed by five questions. For each question there are four suggested answers marked A, B, C and D. Choose one best answer and blacken the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet.Passage OneJune came and the hay(干草) was almost ready for cutting. On Midsummer's Eve, which was a Saturday, Mr. Jones went into Willington and got so drunk at the Red Lion that he did not come back until midday on Sunday. His men had milked the cows in the early morning and then had gone out chatting without bothering to feed the animals. When Mr. Jones got back, he immediately went to sleep on the living-room sofa with the "News of the World" over his face. When evening came, the animals were still not fed. At last, they could stand no longer. One of the cows broke into the door of the storehouse with her horns and all the animals began to help themselves to the grains.It was just then that Mr. Jones woke up. The next moment he and his four men were in the storehouse with whips in their hands, whipping in all directions. This was more than the hungry animals would bear. Together, though nothing of the kind had been planned beforehand, they jumped upon their masters. Mr. Jones and his men suddenly found themselves being stuck with the horns and kicked from all sides. The situation was quite out of their control. They had never seen animals act like this before. This sudden rebellion of the creatures, which they were used to beating and whipping just as they chose, frightened them. After only a moment or two, they gave up trying to defend themselves. A minute later all five of them were in full fright down the road with the animals running after them joyfully.36.The four men did not feed the cows because ______.A. they had not cut the hay yetB. Mr. Jones wasn't at homeC. they did not have time to feed themD. the cows had fed themselves37.The cows broke into the storehouse because ______.A. they did not like their mastersB. Mr. Jones forgot to lock the doorC. they were kept in the cow-house too longD. they were too hungry to wait for the feed38. What did the five men finally do with the cows?A. They chased and drove the cows away.B. They continued beating the cows.C. They gave up defense and ran away.D. They gave in and fed the cows.39. We can learn from the passage that ______.A .the cows often ran out to look for foodB. the cows often had fights with their mastersC. Mr. Jones and his men often beat the cowsD. Mr. Jones and his men often forgot to feed the cowsPassage TwoIt was sunrise on an August morning when the captain and his crew cast their nets some 50 miles south of Louisiana in the Gulf of Mexico. As the net was pulled over, the contents poured out followed by excited cries of "Coins! Coins!" The fishermen quickly realized they had realized a fisherman's dream: sunken treasure! And not just any treasure, but early American silver dollars that had gone down 210 years earlier.In 1784, at the end of the American Revolutionary War, a heavily armed ship was bound for the port of New Orleans. On board was a fortune in Spanish Silver Dollars. Hundreds of thousands of them were loaded for the trip to New Orleans, yet not a single one arrived. With no survivors from the ill-fated voyage, historians can only guess at what happened. Some say powerful storms took her down while others speculate it was treasure-hungry pirates(海盗). Whatever happened, the secret -- along with a treasure valued near $ 100,000,000 in today's dollars -- was sent to a watery grave some 300 feet below the ocean's surface.Spanish Silver Dollars were the favorite coins of colonial Americans. Widely used and accepted as payment in the thirteen colonies, the United States government gave them the status of official legal tender. Unfortunately, even though they were struck in large quantities, not many of them survive today. After the Civil War, the government withdrew them from circulation and they were melted down.Due to the historic discovery of this treasure, GovMint. com is releasing these coins to the public for an amazingly low price. For a limited time, these authentic silver dollars are priced at $49 plus shipping and handling -- a dramatic reduction from the market price of this coin anywhere else worldwide.40. What surprised the fishermen on an August morning?A. Their net contained a big strange-looking fish.B. They found the treasure sunken 210 years ago.C. They found some pieces of a sunken ship in the net.D. Their net suddenly got caught by something deep in the water.41.What happened to the ship heading for New Orleans in 1874?.A. Loaded with too much cargo, it hit on the rocks.B. Robbed by pirates, it cost $100,000,000's worth of goods.C. It disappeared but nobody knew exactly what had happened.D. It was caught in a terrible storm and went down into the ocean.42.What do we know about "Spanish Silver Dollars"?A. Today one coin equals to 49 dollars in the world market.B. They were widely used in America after the Civil War.C. Issued in small amounts, not many of them survive.D. They were officially accepted in the 13 colonies.43.In which section of a magazine would you probably find this article?A. Sports.B. Housing.C. History.D. Fashion.Passage ThreeThe environment affects the way people interact. To examine this conclusion, two researchers "decorate" three rooms. One room was refurnished to look ugly. The second room was intended to look average. The third room was designed to be beautiful. Individuals were asked to sit in one of the three rooms and rate several pictures of people's faces. The results indicated that the environment has a significant effect on the way people rated the faces. Subjects in the beautiful room gave the pictures higher rates than did subjects in the ugly room. In addition, subjects in the ugly room found the task more unpleasant and boring than did subjects assigned to the beautiful room.Color is one environmental factor that can affect your mood and even your ability to concentrate. One researcher concluded that the most pleasant colors, listed in order of preference, were blue, green, purple, red and yellow. The colors listed from most to least arousing were red, orange, yellow, violet, blue and green.Lighting also affects behavior. Elegant restaurants with dim lighting create a mood of intimacy(亲密) that encourages conversation. The bright lights of an office or classroom, on the other hand, arouse and stimulate thinking.Room decoration, color, lighting, and even music and temperature all influence communication with others, but there is no all-purpose environment. The ideal environment depends on the task that will be performed as well as on the needs and expectations of those present. The same environmental factors that encourage lively conversation and dancing at a New Year's Eve party cannot be expected to create a serene climate in which to study for final exams.44.Paragraph 1 shows that subjects in the ugly room tend to be ______.A. less patientB. less considerateC. more enthusiasticD. more confident45.Which color is the most helpful for keeping a good mood?A. GreenB. BlueC. OrangeD. Red46.What effect can dim lights of an eating environment bring about?A. Arousing active thinking.B. Improving work efficiency.C. Creating a tense atmosphere.D. Stimulating talks among people.47.The underlined word "serene" in the last sentence is closest in meaning to ______.A. serious and graveB. calm and peacefulC. pleasant and friendlyD. cold and indifferentPassage FourThere is nothing more possible than a new hip or knee that can put the spring back in your step. Patients receiving joint implants(移植) often are able to resume many of the physical activities they love, even those as vigorous as tennis and hiking. No wonder, then, that joint replacement is growing in popularity.In the United States in 2007, surgeons performed about 806,000 hip and knee implant (the joints most commonly replaced), double the number performed a decade earlier. Though these procedures have become routine, they are not failure free.Implants must sometimes be replaced, said Dr. Henrik Malchau, an orthopedic surgeon (矫形外科医生) at Massachusetts General Hospital in Boston. A study published in 2007 found that 7 percent of hips implanted in Medicare patients had to be replaced within seven and a half years.The percentage may sound low, but the finding suggests that thousands of hip patients eventually require a second operation, said Dr. Malchau. Those patients must endure additional recoveries, often painful, and increased medical expenses.The failure rate should be lower, many experts agree. Sweden, for instance, has a failure rateestimated to be a third of that in the United States. Sweden also has a national joint replacement registry, a database of information from which surgeons can learn how and why certain procedures go wrong. A registry also helps surgeons learn quickly whether a specific type of implant is particularly problematic. "Every country that has developed a registry has been able to reduce failure rate significantly," said Dr. Daniel Berry, chief of orthopedic surgery at the Mayo Clinic in Rochester, Minn.A newly formed American Joint Replacement Registry will begin gathering data from hospitals in the next 12 to 18 months. It's good news for those who are considering replacing a knee or hip.48.What is the problem with hip or knee replacements in the U.S.?A.A lots of patients need a second operation.B. Doctors are not well trained to ensure successful operations.C. Demands for hip replacements exceed the number of surgeons.D. Replacement operation is becoming too expensive in U.S. hospitals.49.Why does Sweden have a lower rate of hip implant failure?A. Sweden has more advanced technology.B. Sweden has a patient data collecting system.C. Sweden has a much larger number of patients.D. Swedish doctors are most responsible and skillful.50.The U.S. Is trying to reduce joint replacement failure rate by ______.A. strictly controlling the number of replacement operations.B. asking hospitals to follow up each case for 12-18 months.C. setting up a national joint replacement database.D. sending doctors to be trained in Sweden.51.People who need a new knee or hip would possibly feel ______ about data gathering in the U.S.A. indifferentB. assuredC. puzzledD. hopefulPassage FiveThe Saturday Evening Post "became symbolic of the reading fare of middle-class America". In 1897 Curtis began to revive(重振) the Post on the proposition that a man's chief interest in life is the fight for livelihood -- business. Fiction and articles about romantic business and successful businessmen filled its pages, and products backed by its advertisements directed at the needs anddesires of the business world. The general interest weekly reached new audiences. Its conservative viewpoint and strong admiration for material success appealed to the tastes of the millions who settled in an easy chair with it each Thursday evening. As a more commercial, mass-circulation magazine than The New Yorker, the widely readable Post set out to interpret America to itself.As a national and international institution, The Saturday Evening Post made its mark in the lives of massive numbers of men and women, and served society as a stabilizing influence. Its editorial matter addressed the problems and interests of the readers as never before. Neither highbrow nor lowbrow, the Post set out to interpret average middle-class America, for that was its audience. However, this magazine lost touch with the mood of the American people in the 1930s. The Post's editor Lorimer, opposed Roosevelt and the New Deal and changed his magazine from an organ of entertainment and enlightenment into a weapon of political warfare. He believed that in opposing the New Deal he had spoken for the majority of voters, but the 1936 election proved him wrong. His conservatism extended beyond politics, it dominated the magazine's content and style causing a decline in reputation and authority. The Post met its greatest success when it went beyond the tastes of the masses, challenging its readers to acknowledge the genius of contributors such as F. Scott Fitzgerald and William Faulkner. It was later reformed in an effort to fulfill its responsibility to awaken lethargic(昏昏欲睡的) America, however, The Saturday Evening Post seemed to play to conventions while The New Yorker took off to redefine the character of American Humor.52.According to Paragraph 1, who are primarily the readers of the Post?A. Businessmen.B. College students.C. HousewivesD. Politicians.53.What is the earliest time that readers can read the Post every week?A. Monday.B. ThursdayC. SaturdayD. Sunday54.Why did the Post lose much of its audience in the 1930s?A. It changed its original style and was heavily involved in politics.B. Readers couldn't afford a newspaper because of the Depression.C. The new editor was not interested in Roosevelt's politics.D. It failed to absorb sufficient advertisements.55.What makes the Post so commercially successful?A. Presenting American style humor.B. Sticking to the tastes of the middle-class.C. Carrying articles and novels by local writers.D. Staying in close contact with the business world.V. Daily Conversation (15 points)Directions: Pick out the appropriate expressions from the eight choices below and complete the following dialogues by blackening the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet.A.When do you need itB.

Translate the following paragraph into Chinese: (10 points)Rummaging through the fruit and veg section of my local supermarket, reading the country of origin labels, I am bewildered by the geography of it all. That the fruits of the earth should all be laid out on tidy shelves in this provincial corner of Britain would have been unthinkable a few years ago, yet now it is taken for granted.Once strange and exotic fruits that only the rich could afford, if not now part of everyone’s diet, are certainly part of our everyday shopping experience. So much so that instead of focusing on the novel, I am drawn to the commonplace. Here, among the “humble”vegetables, something strange and disturbing is going on.V. Translate the following sentences into English: (10*3points=30points)1. ⼥孩横穿马路时被汽车撞倒.(to knock over).2. 这群年轻⼈听了这则笑话哄堂⼤笑.(to roar with).3. 她很不善于见什么⼈说什么话.( to have no knack for).4. 驾驶员违反交通规则,除了罚款之外,还有别的处罚办法吗?(alternative to)5. 为了安全起见,车上每个⼈都必须系上安全带.(for the sake of).6. 我们费了九⽜⼆虎之⼒将门弄开.(to have …job to do).7. 这个沙发⼀拉开,就可变成床.(to convert into).8. 成年⼈学习外语的困难之⼀是母语的⼲扰.(to interfere with).9. 许多困在⼭洞⾥的⼈在救援队赶到之前就死了.(to trap).10. 我突然明⽩他原来是想帮助我.(to dawn on).VI. Reading Comprehension (38 points)Passage 1Clearly if we are to participle in the society in which we live we must communicate with other people. A great deal of communicating is performed on a person-to-person basis by the simple means of speech. If we travel in buses, buy things in shops, or eat in restaurants, we are likely to have conversations where we give information or opinions, receive news or comment, and very likely have our views challenged by other members of society.Face-to-face contact is by no means the only form of communication and during the last two hundred years the art of mass communication has become of one of the dominating factors of contemporary society. Two things, above others, have caused the enormous growth of the communication industry. Firstly, inventiveness has led to advances in printing, telecommunications, photography, radio and television. Secondly, speed has revolutionized the transmission and reception of communications so that local news often takes a back seat to national news, which itself is often almost eclipsed by international news.No longer is the possession of information confined to a privileged minority. In the last century the wealthy man with his own library was indeed fortunate, but today there are public libraries. Forty years ago people used to flock to the cinema, but now far more people sit at home and turn on the TV to watch a programme that is being channeled into millions of homes. Communication is no longer merely concerned with the transmission of information. The modern communication industry influences the way people live in society and broadens their horizons by allowing access to information, education and entertainment. The printing, broadcasting and advertising industries are all involved with informing,educating and entertaining.Although a great deal of the material communicated by the mass media is very valuable to the individual and to the society of which he is a part, the vast modern network of communications is open to abuse. However, the mass media are with us for better, for worse, and there is no turning back.1. In the first paragraph the writer emphasizes the _________ of face-to-face contact in social settings.A natureB limitationC usefulnessD creativity2. It is implied in the passage that_______A local news used to be the only source of informationB local news still takes a significant placeC national news is becoming more popularD international news is the fastest transmitted news3. which of the following statement is INCORRECT?A To possess information used to be a privilegeB Public libraries have replaced private librariesC Communication means more than transmissionD Information influences ways of life and thinking4.From the last paragraph we can infer that the writer is________.A indifferent to the harmful influence of the mass mediaB happy about the drastic changes in the mass mediaC pessimistic about the future of the mass mediaD concerned about the wrong use of the mass mediaPassage 2I am one of the many city people who are always saying that given the choice we would prefer to live in the country away from the dirt and noise of a large city. I have managed to convince myself that it weren’t for my job I would immediately head out for the open spaces and go back to nature in some sleepy village buried in the country. But how realistic is the dream? Cities can be frightening places. The majority of the population live in massive tower blocks, noisy, dirty and impersonal. The sense of belonging to a community tends to disappear when you live fifteen floors up. All you can see from your window issky, or other blocks of flats. Children become aggressive and nervous—cooped up at home all day, with nowhere to play; their mothers feel isolated from the rest of the world. Strangely enough whereas in the past the inhabitants of one street all knew each other, nowadays people on the same floor in tower blocks don’t even say hello to each other.Country life, on the other hand, differs from this kind of isolated existence in that a sense of community generally binds the inhabitantsof small villages together. People have the advantage of knowing that there is always someone to turn to when they need help. But country life has disadvantages too. While it is true that you may be among friends in a village, it is also true that you are cut off from the existing and important events that take place in cities. There’s little possibility of going to a new show or the latest movie. Shopping becomes a major problem, and for anything slightly out of the ordinary you have to go on and expedition to the nearest large town. The city-dweller who leaves for the country is often oppressed by a sense of unbearable stillness and quiet.What, then, is the answer? The country has the advantage of peace and quiet, but suffers from the disadvantage of being cut off; the city breeds a feeling of isolation, and constant noise batters the senses. But one of its main advantages is that you are at the center of things, and that life doesn’t come to an end at half-past nine at night. Some people have found (or rather bought) a compromise between the two; they have expressed their preference for the “quiet life” by leaving the suburbs and moving to villages within commuting distance of large cities. They generally have about as much sensitivity as the plastic flowers they leave behind — they are polluted with strange ideas about change and improvement which they force on to the unwilling original inhabitants of the villages.What then of my dreams of leaning on a cottage gate and murmuring “morning” to the locals as they pass by? I’m keen on the idea, but you see there’s my cat, Toby, I’m not at all sure that he would take to all that fresh air and exercise in the long grass, I mean, can you see him mixing with all those hearty males down the farm? No, he would rather have the electric imitation-coal fire any evening.5. We get the impression from the first paragraph that the authorA used to live in the countryB used to work in the cityC works in the cityD lives in the country6. In the author’s opinion, the following may cause city people to be unhappy EXCEPTA a strong sense of fearB lack of communicationC housing conditionsD a sense of isolation7. The passage implies that it is easy to buy the following things in the country EXCEPTA daily necessitiesB fresh fruitsC designer clothesD fresh vegetables8. According to the passage, which of the following adjectives best describes those people who work in large cities and live in villages?A OriginalB QuietC ArrogantD Insensitive9. Do you think the author will move to the country?A Yes, he will do soB No, he will not do soC It is difficult to tellD He is in two mindsPassage 3Ideas about education are changing in the United States. Education todayis not just a high school diploma or a college degree. Many adults are not interested in going to college. They are interested in other kinds of learning. For them, learning does not end with a diploma.Continuing education gives these adults the opportunity to increase their knowledge about their own field or to learn about a new field. It also gives them a chance to improve their old skills or to learn new ones.Scientists, mechanics and barbers can take classes to improve their work skills. If they know more or learn more, they can get a better job or earn more money.Continuing education classes give more adults the chances to learn new skills. There is usually a large variety of classes to choose from: typing, foreign cooking, photography, auto repair, furniture repair, or swimming. These are only some of the classes available. Some adults take classes for fun or because the class will be useful for them. Other adults take continuing education classes to improve their own lives because they want to feel better about themselves.Almost any community college or public school system has a continuing education program. There are classes in schools, community buildings or churches. Most classes are in the evening, so working people can attend. The classes are usually small, and they are inexpensive.10. The new idea about education in the U.S. is that__________.A. everyone should get a college degreeB. It’s no use for adults to go to collegeC. a high school diploma is the end of educationD. adults should go on learning after graduating from school11. What’s the purpose for adults to continue their education?A. Enlarge their knowledge and learn new skills.B. Catch up the opportunity to get a higher degree.C. Learn more basic knowledge to get a diploma.D. Make themselves live a more comfortable life.12. Which of the following statement is true?A. There are only a few continuing education classes available for adults.B. Only those who want to get more money should go on with their education.C. People take continuing education can get a good job.D. All the people getting continuing education can get a good job.13. Usually, the continuing education program is given________.A. in a small size and expensivelyB. only for working peopleC. only in community buildings or churchesD. by community colleges and public schools14. The best title for the passage would be _________.A. Continuing Education ClassesB. The Importance of a College DegreeC. A Good Way to Earn More MoneyD. Difference Choices for AdultsPassage 4Human cloning technology could be used to reverse heart attacks. Scientists believe that they may be able to treat heart attack victims by cloning their healthy heart cells and injecting them into the areas of the heart that have been damaged, and other problems may be solved if human cloning and its technology are not forbidden.With cloning, infertile couples could have children. Current treatments for infertility, in terms of percentages, are not very successfully. Couples go through physically and emotionally painful procedures for a small chance of having children. Many couples run out of time and money without successfully having children. Human cloning could make it possible for many more infertile couples to have children than ever before.We should be able to clone the bone marrow for children and adults suffering from leukemia. This is expected to be one of the first benefits to come from cloning technology.We may learn how to switch cells on and off through cloning and thus be able to cure cancer.Cloning technology can be used to test for and perhaps cure gene-related diseases.The above is just a few examples of what human cloning technology can do for mankind. This new technology promises unprecedented advancement in medicine if people will release their fears and let the benefits begin.15．Heart attacks can be treated with human cloning technology by___________.A removing the damaged part of the heartB replacing the old heart with a cloned oneC repairing the heart with cells cloned from healthy onesD giving the patients injections of various medicines16. The word “infertile”(Line 1, Para.2) most probably means“____________”.A unable to give birth to a childB with physical and emotional problemsC short of time and moneyD separated from each other for long17. According to the passage, one of the first expected benefits from cloning technology may be in ____________.A the treatment of heart attacksB the bearing of babiesC the cure of blood diseasesD the detection of gene-related diseases18. Cancer may be cured with the cloning technology by___________.A attacking the diseased cells with healthy onesB controlling the growth of the cellsC detecting disordered genes in the cancel cellsD activating cancer cells by switching them on19. According to the writer, the main problem with the development of human cloning technology is that___________.A it may be out of human controlB it has brought about few benefits so farC people still know little about itD people are afraid of such technologyVII.

the country of origin labels,I am bewildered by the geography of it all.That the fruits of the earth should all be laid out on tidy shelves in this provincial corner of Britain would have been unthinkable a few years ago,yet now it is taken for granted.Once strange and exotic fruits that only the rich could afford,if not now part of everyone’s diet,are certainly part of our everyday shopping experience.So much so that instead of focusing on the novel,I am drawn to the commonplace.Here,among the“humble”vegetables,something is going on.sentences into English:(10*3points=30points)(to knock over).2.这群年轻人听了这则笑话哄堂大笑.(to roar with).3.她很不善于见什么人说什么话.(to have no knack for).4.驾驶员违反交通规则,除了罚款之外,还有别的处罚办法吗?(alternative to)5.为了安全起见,车上每个人都必须系上安全带.(for the sake

we are to participle in the society in which we live we must communicate with other people.A great deal of communicating is performed on a person-to-person basis by the simple means of speech.If we travel in buses,buy things in shops,or eat in restaurants,we are likely to have conversations where we give information or opinions,receive news or comment, and very likely have our views challenged by other members of society.Face-to-face contact is by no means the only form of communication and during the last two hundred years the art of mass communication has become of one of the dominating factors of contemporary society.Two things,above others,have caused the enormous growth of the communication industry.Firstly,inventiveness has led to advances in printing, telecommunications,photography,radio and television.Secondly,speed has revolutionized the transmission and reception of communications so that local news often takes a back seat to national news,which itself is often almost eclipsed by international news.No longer is the possession of information confined to a privileged minority.In the last century the wealthy man with his own library was indeed fortunate,but today there are public libraries.Forty years ago people used to flock to the cinema,but now far more people sit at home and turn on the TV to watch a programme that is being channeled into millions of homes.Communication is no longer merely concerned with the transmission of information.The modern communication industry influences the way people live in society and broadens their horizons by allowing access to information,education and entertainment.The printing, broadcasting and advertising industries are all involved with informing,educating and entertaining.Although a great deal of the material communicated by the mass media is very valuable to the individual and to the society of which he is a part,the vast modern network of communications is open to abuse.However,the mass media are with us for better,for worse,and there is no turning back.1.In the first paragraph the writer emphasizes the_________of face-to-face contact insocial settings.A natureB limitationC usefulnessD creativity2.It is implied in the passage that_______A local news used to be the only source of informationB local news still takes a significant placeC national news is becoming more popularD international news is the fastest transmitted news3.which of the following statement is INCORRECT?A To possess information used to be a privilegeB Public libraries have replaced private librariesC Communication means more than transmissionD Information influences ways of life and thinking4.From the last paragraph we can infer that the writer is________.A indifferent to the harmful influence of the mass mediaB happy about the drastic changes in the mass mediaC pessimistic about the future of the mass mediaD concerned about the wrong use of the mass mediaPassage2I am one of the many city people who are always saying that given the choice we would prefer to live in the country away from the dirt and noise of a large city.I have managed to convince myself that it weren’t for my job I would immediately head out for the open spaces and go back to nature in some sleepy village buried in the country.But how realistic is the dream?Cities can be frightening places.The majority of the population live in massive tower blocks, noisy,dirty and impersonal.The sense of belonging to a community tends to disappear when you live fifteen floors up.All you can see from your window is sky,or other blocks of flats.Children become aggressive and nervous—cooped up at home all day,with nowhere to play;their mothers feel isolated from the rest of the world.Strangely enough whereas in the past the inhabitants of one street all knew each other,nowadays people on the same floor in tower blocks don’t even say hello to each other.Country life,on the other hand,differs from this kind of isolated existence in that a sense of community generally binds the inhabitants of small villages together.People have the advantage of knowing that there is always someone to turn to when they need help.But country life has disadvantages too.While it is true that you may be among friends in a village,it is also true that you are cut off from the existing and important events that take place in cities.There’s little possibility of going to a new show or the latest movie.Shopping becomes a major problem,andfor anything slightly out of the ordinary you have to go on and expedition to the nearest large town. The city-dweller who leaves for the country is often oppressed by a sense of unbearable stillness and quiet.What,then,is the answer?The country has the advantage of peace and quiet,but suffers from the disadvantage of being cut off;the city breeds a feeling of isolation,and constant noise batters the senses.But one of its main advantages is that you are at the center of things,and that life doesn’t come to an end at half-past nine at night.Some people have found(or rather bought)a compromise between the two;they have expressed their preference for the“quiet life”by leaving the suburbs and moving to villages within commuting distance of large cities.They generally have about as much sensitivity as the plastic flowers they leave behind—they are polluted with strange ideas about change and improvement which they force on to the unwilling original inhabitants of the villages.What then of my dreams of leaning on a cottage gate and murmuring“morning”to the locals as they pass by?I’m keen on the idea,but you see there’s my cat,Toby,I’m not at all sure that he would take to all that fresh air and exercise in the long grass,I mean,can you see him mixing with all those hearty males down the farm?No,he would rather have the electric imitation-coal fire any evening.5.We get the impression from the first paragraph that the authorA used to live in the countryB used to work in the cityC works in the cityD lives in the country6.In the author’s opinion,the following may cause city people to be unhappy EXCEPTA a strong sense of fearB lack of communicationC housing conditionsD a sense of isolation7.The passage implies that it is easy to buy the following things in the country EXCEPTA daily necessitiesB fresh fruitsC designer clothesD fresh vegetables8.According to the passage,which of the following adjectives best describes those people who work in large cities and live in villages?A OriginalB QuietC ArrogantD Insensitive9.Do you think the author will move to the country?A Yes,he will do soB No,he will not do soC It is difficult to tellD He is in two mindsPassage3Ideas about education are changing in the United cation today is not just a high school diploma or a college degree.Many adults are not interested in going to college.They are interested in other kinds of learning.For them,learning does not end with a diploma.Continuing education gives these adults the opportunity to increase their knowledge about their own field or to learn about a new field.It also gives them a chance to improve their old skills or to learn new ones.Scientists,mechanics and barbers can take classes to improve their work skills.If they know more or learn more,they can get a better job or earn more money.Continuing education classes give more adults the chances to learn new skills.There is usually a large variety of classes to choose from:typing,foreign cooking,photography,auto repair, furniture repair,or swimming.These are only some of the classes available.Some adults take classes for fun or because the class will be useful for them.Other adults take continuing education classes to improve their own lives because they want to feel better about themselves.Almost any community college or public school system has a continuing education program. There are classes in schools,community buildings or churches.Most classes are in the evening,so working people can attend.The classes are usually small,and they are inexpensive.10.The new idea about education in the U.S.is that__________.A.everyone should get a college degreeB.It’s no use for adults to go to collegeC.a high school diploma is the end of educationD.adults should go on learning after graduating from school11.What’s the purpose for adults to continue their education?A.Enlarge their knowledge and learn new skills.B.Catch up the opportunity to get a higher degree.C.Learn more basic knowledge to get a diploma.D.Make themselves live a more comfortable life.12.Which of the following statement is true?A.There are only a few continuing education classes available for adults.B.Only those who want to get more money should go on with their education.C.People take continuing education can get a good job.D.All the people getting continuing education can get a good job.ually,the continuing education program is given________.A.in a small size and expensivelyB.only for working peopleC.only in community buildings or churchesD.by community colleges and public schools14.The best title for the passage would be_________.A.Continuing Education ClassesB.The Importance of a College DegreeC.A Good Way to Earn More MoneyD.Difference Choices for AdultsPassage4Human cloning technology could be used to reverse heart attacks.Scientists believe that they may be able to treat heart attack victims by cloning their healthy heart cells and injecting them into the areas of the heart that have been damaged,and other problems may be solved if human cloning and its technology are not forbidden.With cloning,infertile couples could have children.Current treatments for infertility,in terms of percentages,are not very successfully.Couples go through physically and emotionally painful procedures for a small chance of having children.Many couples run out of time and money without successfully having children.Human cloning could make it possible for many more infertile couples to have children than ever before.We should be able to clone the bone marrow for children and adults suffering from leukemia. This is expected to be one of the first benefits to come from cloning technology.We may learn how to switch cells on and off through cloning and thus be able to cure cancer.Cloning technology can be used to test for and perhaps cure gene-related diseases.The above is just a few examples of what human cloning technology can do for mankind. This new technology promises unprecedented advancement in medicine if people will release their fears and let the benefits begin.15．Heart attacks can be treated with human cloning technology by___________.A removing the damaged part of the heartB replacing the old heart with a cloned oneC repairing the heart with cells cloned from healthy onesD giving the patients injections of various
