If you do not use your arms or your legs for some time, they become weak; when you start using them again, they slowly become strong again. Everybody knows this, and nobody would think of questioning this fact. Yet there are many people who do not seem to know that the memory works in the same way. When someone says that he has a good memory, he really means that he keeps his memory in practice by exercising it regularly, either consciously or unconsciously. When someone else says that his memory is poor, he really means that he does not give it enough opportunity to become strong. The position is exactly the same as that of two persons, one of whom exercises his arms and legs by playing tennis, while the other sits in a chair or a motorcar all day.

Her most popular novel, “Pride and Prejudice”, described Elizabeth Bennett and her search for romance through a world of balls, dinners and endless social rules. Here the following helps you enter into Austen’s high society.1. Coming outGirls were treated as children until 18, when they “came out”. Parents took their daughters from their country homes to London. There, these young ladies from noble families were presented to the queen during the biggest ball of the season at Buckingham Palace. This was their official entrance into society. Afterwards, they attended balls, dinners and parties in London. The girls met the important people in London society and, especially, searched for a suitable husband.2. DancesFamilies of unmarried young women often hosted dances at their homes and invited others of the same social class—particularly single young men. At the dance, each eligible girl had a dance card. If a young man wanted to dance with a girl, he approached her and asked to sign her card. A proper girl did not dance with one man for more than three songs in a row.3. Paying callsDuring Au sten’s time, there were strict rules about how, when, and why to visit friends and neighbors. To express condolences over the death of a friend’s family member or offer congratulations for an award, a visitor was required to wait a week after the event before visiting. Meanwhile, a party guest must visit and thank the hostess within the week after attending a party. Guests would be considered rude if they waited for more than two weeks to visit. Visits were supposed to last only 20 minutes to half an hour.36. Which of the following indicates girls’ official entrance into society?________A) They were 18.B) Their parents took them from their country homes to London.C) They found a suitable husband.D) In the biggest ball of the season at Buckingham Palace, they were presented to the queen.37. What does the author probably mean by “eligible” in the third paragraph?________A) Suited. B) Qualified. C) Suitable. D) Appropriate.38. As a rule, when should a party guest visit and thank the hostess after attending aparty?________A) Within the week after the event. B) More than two weeks.C) Within two weeks. D) Any time that he or she likes.39. In the writer’s opinion, ________.A) the British people were friendlyB) the British social rules in high society were strictC) the British parents were strict with their daughtersD) the British girls were very practical40. What would be the most appropriate title for this passage?________A) Austen’s Time.B) The British People.C) Good Manners in High Society. D) Strict Social Rules.Questions 41 to 45 are based on the following passage.Halloween (October 31) is a holiday widely celebrated with different names in many countries. Although it originated as a religious holiday, it has lost its religious connections in the United States. It is now celebrated largely as a children’s day, and many American children look forward to it for days and weeks beforehand. The orange pumpkin is harvested at this time of year and is hollowed out, a funny face cut into it, and a candle placed inside as a decoration in the window. City folks, nowadays, sometimes use paper pumpkins for decorations.Some years ago, the holiday was celebrated by dressing up in strange and frightening costumes and playing tricks on one’s neighbors and friends, such as ringing doorbells, throwing bits of corn on the window panes, and in other ways making minor disturbances. More recently, children come to the door to have friends and neighbors admire their costumes and guess who they are behind the false faces and receive treats of candies, fruits or cookies. They say, “Trick or Treat”, which means “I will play a trick on you if you do not give me a treat.”This practice has even more recently developed into a significant international activity. Instead of candies, the children collect money for UNICEF (United Nations International Children’s Emergency Fund). This special collection of money by children for needy children throughout the world is known as “UNICEF Trick of Treat”. Although it has begun only recently, it results in several million dollars each year contributed to UNICEF. The collection box is orange, reminiscent of the pumpkin.41. In history, Halloween was once a ______ day.A) children’s B) national C) religious D) international42. Which of the following is mentioned about how children celebrated the holiday some yearsago?________A) Making up in peculiar and horrifying costumes.B) Playing jokes on neighbors or friends.C) Ringing door bells.D) All of the above.43. What kind of treats will children not receive on October 31?________A) Candies. B) Fruits. C) Cookies. D) Chocolates.44. Why do children collect money to celebrate the holiday?________A) They need pocket money.B) They can use the money to buy whatever they like.C) They can help those children who need money in the whole world.D) What they did in the past have bored them.45. From the passage, we know that ________.A) to some degree, Halloween has not been the American own holiday and its influence will be greaterand greaterB) Halloween will become the most important holiday for the American peopleC) more and more parents will take part in the celebration of this holidayD) it will be celebrated by all the people around the worldQuestions 46 to 50 are based on the following passage.In the United States, it is not customary to telephone someone very early in the morning. If you telephone him early in the day, while he is shaving or having breakfast, the time of the call shows that the matter is very important and requires immediate attention. The same meaning is attached to telephone calls made after 11:00 p.m. If someone receives a call during sleeping hours, he assumes it’s a matter of life or death. The time chosen for the call communicates its importance.In social life, time plays a very important part. In the U.S.A., guests tend to feel they are not highly regarded if the invitation to a dinner party is extended only three or four days before the party date. But it is not true in all countries. In other areas of the world, it may be considered foolish to make an appointment too far in advance because plans which are made for a date more than a week away tend to be forgotten.The meaning of time differs in different parts of the world. Thus, misunderstandings arise between people from cultures that treat time differently. Promptness is valued highly in American life, for example. If people are not prompt, they may be regarded as impolite or not fully responsible. In the U.S., no one would think of keeping a business associate waiting for an hour, which would be too impolite. A person, who is 5 minutes late, will say a few words of explanation, though perhaps he will not complete the sentence.46. The author’s main purpose of the passage is to ______.A) emphasize the importance of time in American social customsB) tell us time and tide waits for no manC) teach us how to get on well with the American peopleD) introduce the personal relationship among the American people47. Generally speaking, when is it proper for you to call someone?________A) Very early in the morning. B) After 11 p.m.C) Sleeping hours. D) Neither very early in the morning nor after 11 p.m. 48. According to the passage, the author of the article may agree that ________.A) it is appropriate to send your invitation cards three or four days before a dinner party date in AmericaB) it may be appropriate to send your invitation to your guests three or four days before a dinner party date in some culturesC) time means the same for all the people around the worldD) people can communicate each other very well if they live in the same culture49. If you live in America, you should pay attention to ______.A) the time of your making a phone callB) the time of your sending your invitation cardsC) the time of your meeting with someoneD) all of the above50. The word “attached” in the third sentence of the first paragraph means ________.A) clung B) stuck C) given D) provided四、Translation（4 point for each ，20 points in total)1、I’m afraid it won’t be possible, but thank you very much anyway.2、Please come whenever it is your convenience.3、I’m terribly sorry, but I have made other plans.

Today, magazines do not do this. However, they still tend to define the female role in terms of homemaking and motherhood, and to offer beauty advice to help women attract men and please husbands. There are now a few less traditional magazines such as Ms. that show women in a range of roles and that cover a much wider range of topics.Television commercials have also, until recently, presented women primarily as sex objects and as housewives. Young sexy women were shown admiring older men who smoked a particular cigarette brand. Housewives were shown smiling joyfully about their clean bathrooms, or looking guilty for not using the right laundry soap to wash theirhusband’s clothes. These days advertisers are more careful about the way they present women, and they are presented in a variety of roles. However, it is still quite common to see advertisements where beautiful young women are dressed in sexy clothes to sell cars or other products. One study also found that the changes are mainly on nighttimetelevision, with daytime commercials still tending to portray women doing household chores. Prime-time television programs also often used to stereotype women. In past decades, women were usually portrayed as lovers, as mothers, or as weak, passive girlfriends of powerful, effective men. Today’s TV programs are somewhat different. Women are more likely to be presented as successful and able to support themselves and their families, but the traditional stereotypes of women are still there. Even when women are depicted as career women, the storylines suggest that they should be sexy as well.1.

For example, most societies expect men and women to marry. Most cultures also have traditions about the role and duties of a husband and a wife. Traditionally, the husband is expected to earn a living, and the wife is expected to keep house and raise children.Many Americans did not follow traditional marriage patterns. For example, a large number of married couples share responsibilities that have been traditionally handled byeither the husband or the wife. An increasing number of married women have paying jobs and help support their families financially. In 1940, about 15 percent of all married women earned money. In the early 1990s, about 60 percent held a full- or part-time job.More and more husbands share responsibilities traditionally handled by women, such as cooking, doing housework, and caring for children.On the average, men and women stay single longer than they once did. In 1950s, men married at an average age of 23, and women married at an average age of 20. By themid-1990s, the average marriage age was about 26.5 for men and about 24.5 for women.An increasing number of people choose not to marry. If a man and a woman wish to avoid marriage, they may decide to live together with no formal obligations to each other. This arrangement is more common among young adults, but some couples of all ages live together without marrying.1.

In our neighborhood, in the neighboring state, wherever we look, we find criminals and crime. Criminals have (1) a part of our daily lives. Doesthis mean we let them be the darkness of our society? No, definitely not. Eliminating crime and criminals is our duty, and we cannot ignore it. Getting the rightly accused toa just (2) is very important. Some criminals commit a crime because they have no other option tosurvive, but some do it for fun. I do not advocate for everybody. A person(3) stole bread from a grocery store, definitely does not deserve the death penalty. However, aserial killer, who kills people for fun or for his personal gain,definitely deserves it. The death penalty should continue (4)eliminate the garbage of our society.Not everybody deserves to die, but some people surely do. I support thedeath penalty because of several reasons. Firstly, I believe that it serves as a deterrent and helps in (5) crime. Secondly, it is true that it is irreversible, but it ishard to kill a wrongly convicted person due to the several chances given to the convicted to prove his innocence. Thirdly, the death penalty assures safety of the society byeliminating these criminals. Finally, I believe in “a life for a life”.1. A) punishmen B) reducingC) in order to D) whoE) become2.

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 with a single line through the centrePassage OneWhen we talk about intelligence, we do not mean the ability to get good scores on certain kinds of tests or even the ability to do well in school. By intelligence we mean a way of living and behaving, especially in a new or upsetting situation. If we want to test intelligence, we need to find out how a person acts instead of how much he knows what to do. For instance, when in a new situation, an intelligent person thinks about the situation, not about himself or what might happen to him. He tries to find out all he can, and then he acts immediately and tries to do something about it. He probably isn't sure how it will all work out, but at least h e tries. And, if he can’t make things work out right, he doesn't feel ashamed that he failed; he just tries to learn from his mistakes. An intelligent person, even if he is very young, has a special outlook on life, a special feeling about life, and knows how he fits into it.If you look at children, you'll see great difference between what we call "bright" children and "not-bright" children. They are actually two different kinds of people, not just the same kind with different amount of intelligence. For example, the bright child really wants to find out about life - he tries to get in touch with everything around him. But, the unintelligent child keeps more to himself and his own dream-world; he seems to have a wall between him and life in general.61. According to this passage, intelligence is __________.A. the ability to study wellB. the ability to do well in schoolC. the ability to deal with lifeD. the ability to get high scores on some tests62. In a new situation, an intelligent person__________.A. knows more about what might happen to himB. is sure of the result he will getC. concentrates on what to do about the situationD. cares more about himself63. If an intelligent person failed, he would__________. A. try not to feel ashamed B. learn from his experiencesC. try to regret as much as possibleD. make sure what result he would get64. Bright children and not-bright children__________.A. are two different types of childrenB. are different mainly in their degree of clevernessC. have difference only in their way of thinkingD. have different knowledge about the world65. The author of this passage will probably continue to talk about __________.A. how to determine what intelligence isB. how education should be foundC. how to solve practical problemsD. how an unintelligent person should be taughtPassage TwoIf women are mercilessly exploited year, they have only themselves to blame.Because they tremble at the thought of being seen in public in clothes that are out of fashion, they are always taken advantage of by the designers and the big stores.Clothes which have been worn only a few times have to be put aside because of the change of fashion. When you come to think of it ,only a woman is capable of standing in front of a wardrobe（衣柜）packed full of clothes and announcing sadly that she has nothing to wear.Changing fashions are nothing more than the intentional creation of waste.Many women spend vast sums of money each year to replace clothes that have hardly been worn. Women who cannot afford to throw away clothing in this way, waste hours of their time altering the dresses they have. Skirts are lengthened or shortened; neck lines are lowered or raised, and so on.No one can claim that the fashion industry contributes anything really important to society. Fashion designers are rarely concerned with vital things like warmth, comfort and durability（耐用）. They are only interested in outward appearance and they take advantage of the fact that women will put up with any amount of discomfort, as long as they look right. There can hardly be a man who hasn’t at some time in his life smile at the sight of a woman shaking in a thin dress on a winter day, or delicately picking her way through deep snow in high-heeled shoes.When comparing men and women in the matter of fashion, the conclusions to be drawn are obvious. Do the constantly changing fashions of women’s clothes, one wonders, reflect basic qualities of inconstancy and instability? Men are too clever to let themselves be cheated by fashion designers. Do their unchanging styles of dress reflect basic qualities of stability and reliability? That is for you to decide.66. Designers and big stores always make money_________________A. by mercilessly exploiting women workers in the clothing industryB. because they are capable of predicting new fashionsC. by constantly changing the fashions in women’s clothingD. because they attach great importance to quality in women’s clothing67. To the writer, the fact that women alter their old-fashioned dresses is seenas______.A. a waste of moneyB. a waste of timeC. an expression of tasteD. an expression of creativity68. The writer would be less critical if fashion designers placed more stress on the___ _ of clothing.A. costB. appearanceC. comfortD. suitability69. According to the passage, which of the following statements is TRUE?A. New fashions in clothing are created for the commercial exploitation of womenB. The constant changes in women’s clothing reflect their strength of characterC. The fashion industry make an important contribution to societyD. Fashion designs should not be encouraged since they are only welcomed bywomen.70. By saying “the conclusions to be drawn are obvious” (lines 1-2, Para.4) thewriter means that ________.A. women’s inconstancy in their choice of clothing is often laughed atB. women are better able to put up with discomfortC. men are also exploited greatly by fashion designersD. men are more stable and reliable in characterPassage ThreeDo you find getting up in the morning so difficult that it’s painful? This might be called laziness, but Dr. Kleitman has a new explanation. He has proved that everyone has a daily energy cycle.During the hours when you labor through your work you may say that you’re “hot”. That’s true. The time of day when you feel most energetic is when your cycle of body temperature is at its peak. For some people the peak comes during the forenoon. For others it comes in the afternoon or evening. No one has discovered why this is so, but it leads to such familiar monologues as: “Get up, John! You’ll be late for work again!” The possible explanation to the trouble is that John is at his temperature-and-energy peak in the evening. Much family quarrelling ends when husbands and wives realize what these energy cycles mean, and which cycle each member of the family has.You can’t change your energy cycle, bu t you can learn to make you life fit it better. Habit can help, Dr. Kleitman believes. Maybe you’re sleepy in the evening but feel you must stay up late anyway. Counteract your cycle to some extent by habitually staying up later than you want to. If your energy is low in the morning, but you have an important job to do early in the day, rise before your usual hour. This won’t change your cycle, but you’ll get up steam and work better at your low point.Get off to a slow start which saves your energy. Get up with a leisurely yawn and stretch. Sit on the edge of the bed a minute before putting your feet on the floor. A void the troublesome search for clean clothes by laying them out the night before. Whenever possible, do routine work in the afternoon and save tasks requiring more energy or concentration for your sharper hours.71.If a person finds getting up early a problem, most probably__________.A. he is a lazy personB. he refuses to follow his own energy cycleC. he is not sure when his energy is lowD. he is at his peak in the afternoon or evening72.Which of the following may lead to family quarrels according to the passage?A. Unawareness of energy cycles.B. Familiar monologuesC. A change in a family member’s energy cycleD. Attempts to control the energy cycle of other family members73.If one wants to work more efficiently at his how point in the morning, he should_________A. change his energy cycleB. overcome his lazinessC. get up earlier than usualD. go to bed earlier74.You are advised to rise with a yawn and stretch because it will___________A. help to keep your energy for the day’s workB. help you to control your temper early in the dayC. enable you to concentrate on your routine workD. keep your energy cycle under control all day75.Which of the following statements is NOT TRUE?A. Getting off to work with a minimum effort helps save one’s energyB. Dr. Kletman explains why people reach their peaks at different hours of day.C. Habit helps a person adapt to his own energy cycleD. Children have energy cycles, too.Part V. Translation (20 points)Section A: translate the following sentences into English. (10 points)76. 我们已经在这个项目上投入了大量时间和精力，所以我们只能继续。

B. memory can be improved by practicing it
C. the poor and humble people may help you remember things
D. if you want a good memory, do not read or write anything
Have you ever noticed that people who cannot read or write usually have better memories than those who can? Why is this? Of course, because those who cannot read or write have to remember things; they cannot write them down in a little notebook. They have to remember dates, times and prices, names, songs and stories; so their memory is the whole time being exercised.
D. Learn from the Poor and Humble.

Parents said that children did not respect and listen to them, while children said that their parents did not understand them at all. What had gone wrong? Why had the generation gap suddenly appeared? Actually, the generation gap has been around for a long time. Many people argue that it is built into every part of our society.One important cause of the generation gap is the opportunity that young people have to choose their own ways of life. In a more traditional society, when children grow up, they are expected to live in the same area as their parents, to marry people that their parentsknow and like, and often to continue the family jobs. In our society,young people often travel great distances for their education, moveout of the family at an early age, marry or live with people whom theirparents have never met, and choose jobs different from those oftheir parents.In our society, parents often expect their children to do betterthan they did, to find better jobs, to make more money and to do allthe things that they were unable to do. Often, that is another causeof the gap between them. Often, they discover that they have verylittle in common with each other.Finally, the speed at which changes take place in our society isthe third cause of the gap between the generations. In a traditionalculture, senior people are valued for their knowledge, but in oursociety the knowledge of a lifetime may become out of date. Theyoung and the old seem to live in two very different worlds,separated by different skills and abilities. No doubt, the generationgap will continue in American life for some time to come.6.The first paragraph tells us that ______.A.the problem of the generation gap draws much attentionfrom peopleB.it is out of date to talk about the generation gapC.children and parents are trying to understand each otherD.it is very important for people to frequently communicatewith each other7.In a more traditional society, old people_______.A.have their children respect and listen to themB.do not care for their children at allC.expect their children to rebel against themD.do not live together with their children8.In American society young people________.A.do not need to find jobsB.leave home at an early ageC.have better education than their parentsD. marry people younger than them9.Which of the following is NOT the causA.Young people like to depend moreB.Parents do not love their children dC.American society changes rapidly.D.Parents expect too much of their c10.The main idea of the passage is ____A.that the generation gap needs coB.when the generation gap is neceC.why the generation gap existD.how we can reduce the generatio二、交际用语 (此部分共有 10 个未完成的完成的部分有 4 个选项，请你从 A、B、个最佳选项。
