It s traditional meaning is used to 16 a temperature that is fairly cold. As the world has 17 , however, the word has expanded to 18 many different meanings. “Cool” can be used to express feelings of 19 in almost anything. When you see a brand-name car in the street, maybe you can't help 20 ,“It's cool.” You might think,“He's so cool,” when you see your 21 footballer. We a ll enlarge the meaning of “cool”。
You can use it 22 many words such as “new” or “amazing.” Here's an interesting story we can see 23 illustrate the usage of the word: A teacher asked her students to 24 the waterfall they had visited. On one student's paper was just the one 25 ,“It's so cool.” 26 he thought it was 27 to describe 28 he saw and felt. 29 the story also proves the shortage of words and expressions.30 “cool,” some people have no words to express the same meaning. So it is 31 to improve our word strength to maintain some 32 . As a popular word,“cool” stands for a kind of special 33 that people can accept easily. Excepting “cool,” can you think of many words that 34 your life as colorful? I can. And I think they are also very 35 .

The information from them differs from (不同于)that in textbooks and papers chiefly in that its theoretical (理论的) part —— the explanations of why things happen ——is frequently quite fantastic (神奇的). But the demonstration (示范)and report of what happens ,and how it happens are correct even if the reports are in completely unscientific terms (术语)。

And in different countries it has different meanings. Butwhen British people say that their society is based on family life, they are thinking of "family"in itsnarrow, peculiarly European sense of mother, father and children living together in their own houseas an economic and social unit. Thus, every British marriage indicates the beginning of a new and in-dependent family--hence the tremendous importance of marriage in British life. For both man andwoman, marriage means leaving one’s parents and starting one’s own life. The man’s first duty willthen be to his wife, and the wife’s to her husband. He will be entirely responsible for her financialsupport, and she for the running of the new home. Their children will be their common responsibilityand their alone. Neither the wife’s parents nor the husband’s, nor their brothers or sisters, aunts oruncles, have any right to interfere with them-they are their own masters. Readers of novels likeJane Austen’s Pride and Prejudice will know that in former times, marriage among wealthy families were arranged by the girl’s parents, that is, it was the "parents' duty tofind a suitable husband for their daughter, preferably a rich one, and by skillful encouragement tolead him eventually to ask their permission to marry her. Until that time, the girl was protected andmaintained in the parents' home, and the financial relief of getting rid of her could be seen in theirgiving the newly married pair a sum of money called a dowry (嫁妆). It is very different today.Most girls of today get a job when they leave school and become financially independent before theirmarriage. This has had two results. A girl chooses her own husband, and she gets no dowry. Everycoin has two sides; independence for girls is no exception. But it may be a good thing for all of thegirls, as their social status are much higher and they are no longer the subordinate(部下,下级) oftheir parents and husbands. 46. What does the author mean by "Family is of course an elastic word"? [A]Different families have different ways of life. [B]Different definitions could be given to the word. [C]Different nations have different families. [D]Different times produce different families. 47. For an English family, the husband’s duty is________ [A]supporting the family while the wife is working out [B]defending the family while the wife is running the home [C]providing financial support while the wife is running the home [D]independent while his wife is also independent 48. Everything is decided in a family________ [A]by the couple [B]with the help of their parents [C]by brothers and sisters [D]with the help of aunts and uncles 49. What is TRUE conceming the book Pride and Prejudice? [A]It is the best book on marriage. [B]It is a handbook on marriage. [C]It gives some idea of English social life in the past. [D]It provides a lot of information of former-time wealthy families. 50. With regard to marriage in Britain, present-day girls differ from former-time girls in________ [A]the right family [B]more parental support [C]choosing husbands [D]social position Text 2 Steveland Morris is a household name in America. Ask Steveland Morris and he' 11 tell you thatblindness is not necessarily disabling. Steveland was born prematurely(过早地, 不到期地) and total-ly without sight in 1950s. He became Stevie Wonder composer, singer, and pianist. The winner often Grammy awards, Stevie is widely acclaimed(喝彩) for his outstanding contributions to the musicworld. As a child, Stevie learned not to think about the things he could not do, but to concentrate onthe things that he could do. His parents encouraged him to join in his sighted brothers as many activi-ties as possible. They also helped him to sharpen his sense of heating, the sense upon which the usu-ally disabled are so dependent. Because sound was so important to him. Stevie began at an early age to experiment with differ-ent kinds of sound. He would bang things together and then imitate the sound with his voice. Oftenrelying on sound for entertainment, he sang, beat on toy drums, played a toy harmonica(⼝琴) ,andlistened to the radio. Stevie soon graduated from toy instruments to real instruments. He first learned to play thedrums. He then mastered the harmonica and the piano. He became a member of the junior churchchoir(唱诗班) and a lead singer. In the evenings and on weekends, Stevie would play different in-struments and sing popular rhythm and blues tunes on the front porches (⾛廊) of neighbors' homes.One of Stevie’s sessions was overheard by Ronnie White, a member of a popular singing groupcalled The Miracles. Ronnie immediately recognized Stevie’s talent and took him to audition (试听)for Berry Gordy, the president of Hitsville USA, a large recording company now known as Motown.Stevie recorded his first smash hit "Fingertips" in 1962 at age twelve, and the rest of Stevie’s story ismusic history. 51. This passage could be entitled________ [A]The Music World [B]Stevie Wonder [C]Great Musicians [D]Blind People 52. Which of the following is NOT true about Stevie's childhood? [A]Stevie often told people that a blind person was not necessarily disabled. [B]He learnt to concentrate on things that he could do. [C]He played as often as possible with his brother, who had normal sight. [D]He tried very hard to train his sense of heating. 53. By saying "Stevie soon graduated from toy instruments to real instruments", the author means that________ [A]Stevie finished tiis study at a toy instruments school [B]Stevie began to study in a real instruments school [C]Stevie gave up all his toy instruments and began to buy many real instruments [D]Stevie started to play real instruments 54. The author mentions all the following facts EXCEPT that________ [A]Stevie’s neighbors could often enjoy his playing and singing [B]it was Ronnie White that recognized S t e v i e s t a l e n t a n d l e d h i m t o a s u c c e s s f u l c a r e e r / p > p b d s f id = " 2 0 4 " > 0 0 [ C ] Be r r y C o r d y h e l p e d h i m t o s e t u p h i s o w n r e c o r d i n g c o m p a n y / p > p b d sf i d = "2 0 5 " > 0 0 [ D ] S t e v i e s p a r e n t s p l a y e d a v e r y i m p o r t a n t p a r t i n t r a i n i n g h i s s e n s e o f h e a r i n g / p > p b d s f i d = " 2 0 6 " > 0 0 5 5 .

He 4 as close to the steam 5 as he could, but sometimes he couldn"t 6 a shiver."What"s that odd flower you"re 7 ?"Hawthorne had quite forgotten 8 . He put his hand up to his lapel."It looks as though it had once been an orchid," the Chief said with disapproval."Pan American gave it to us 9 our dinner last night," Hawthorne explained. He took out the limp mauve rag and put it in the ash-tray. "With your dinner? What an odd thing to do," the Chief said, "it can hardly have improved the meal. Personally I detest orchids. Decadent thing. There was someone, wasn"t there, who wore green 10 ?""I only put it in my button-hole so as to clear the dinner-tray.

The official case for "academic mobility" is now often stated in impressive terms as a fundamental necessity for economic and social progress in the world, and debated in the corridors of Europe, but it is certainly nothing new. Seriousstudents were always ready to go abroad in search of the most stimulating teachers and the most famous academies; in search of the purest philosophy, the most effective medicine, the likeliest road to gold.Mobility of this kind meant also mobility of ideas, their transference across frontiers, their simultaneous impact upon many groups of people. The point of learning is to share it, either with students or with colleagues. One presumes that only eccentrics have no interest in being credited with a startling discovery, or a new technique. It must also have been reassuring to know that other people in other parts of the world were about to make the same discovery or were thinking along the same lines, and that one was not quite alone, confronted by inquisition, ridicule or neglect.In the 20th century, and particularly in the last 20 years, the old footpaths of the wandering scholars have become vast highways. The vehicle which has made this possible has of course been the airplane, making contact between scholars even in the most distant places immediately feasible, and providing for the very rapid transmission of knowledge.Apart from the vehicle itself, it is fairly easy to identify the main factors which have brought about the recent explosion in academic movement. Some of these are purely quantitative and require no further mention; there are far more centers of learning, and a far greater number of scholars and students. In addition, one must recognize the very considerable multiplication of disciplines, particularly in the sciences, which by widening the total area of advanced studies has produced an enormous number of specialists whose particular interests are precisely defined. These people would work in some isolation if they were not able to keep in touch with similar isolated groups in other countries.1. What does the author think of the "academic mobility"?A. It is quite a new phenomenon.B. It is necessary for economic and social progress in the current world.C. It is debatable.D. It is characteristic of intellectuals to search for new knowledge.2. What happens to a scholar who shares his ideas with his colleagues?A. He gains recognition for his achievements.B. He risks being ridiculed.C. He attacks a large number of students.D.

For Questions 1~5, choose the most suitable paragraph from the list A~F to fit into each of the numbered gaps. There is one paragraph which does not fit in any of the gaps.Housekeepers at all large hotels are well aware that departing guests leave things behind them. The lost property cupboard at one particular hotel in the international Hyatt Regency luxury chain, is overflowing with socks, ties and underwear but it also contains more unusual leftovers such as paperweights, black satchels, a min dress, purple pyjamas and silver shoes, a Mexican hat and rug, a Korean fan, a music box, a black suede cowboy hat and a bottle of guava pills.1Each hotel has its own peculiar tale to tell. The executive housekeeper of one Sheraton Hotel is at a loss to explain a rise in the sets of false teeth left behind. Four sets were left at the hotel in a single month; two sets had yet to be reclaimed two months later. "You would have thought once they started chewing breakfast they"d realise something was missing," the housekeeper says, with a laugh.Some guests seem adept at leaving body extras behind. One hotel in Surfers Paradise on the Queensland coast in Australia became the proud owner of a wooden leg after a careless guest left it behind. Around 500 items—spectacles, books, keys and clothing—are left at that hotel each month. People have also left **puters, hair-driers and towels.2Most hotels hold onto a lost property for three months and, if it is not reclaimed, give it to charity. Some hotels give the person who found the item the opportunity to keep it. This encourages them to hand in any items they may find while cleaning rooms. Usually, hotel managers will wait for guests to reclaim things unless an item is of great value. They prefer not to do the contacting. Says the head of security at one luxury hotel, "We"ve run into problems when we"ve spoken to wives who haven"t known their husbands were staying here."3Some hoteliers are reluctant to say how much the practice of souveniring costs. The Sheraton claims that souveniring is not a big problem, especially since the Sheraton chain stopped putting logos on linen five years ago.4The motivation for the guests" light-fingeredness is often more than mere nostalgia. As the Hyatt Regency"s public relations manager says, some guests think hotel rates are so high that "they should get something for nothing."5Many hotel chains, particularly in the United States, are starting to combat the problem of souveniring by giving guests an inventory of what is in a room when they arrive. If a listed item isn"t there, the guest can contact room service immediately.Some items do have happy returns. A guest at the Royal Pacific Hotel in Hong Kong filched a pillow but returned it three months later. He"d bought an extremely fragile souvenir while in Hong Kong and needed the pillow to ferry it home.A. So who are these kleptomaniacs that plague hotel keepers? Most tourists looking for souvenirs take ashtrays, towels and smaller items such as wooden boxes holding tea and coffee. People in tour groups are more likely to take guide books, hand towels and face cloths. Business travellers go for the more pricey bathrobes. Some thefts defy explanation. An ingenious thief keeps stealing telephones and wooden coat stands from the foyer of one central-city luxury hotel. The chrome lettering on the same hotel"s facade has disappeared three times.B. Almost everyone in the hotel has heard about the live lobster discovered in the mini-bar. There have also been forgotten pets, including a pet mouse, though the owner was a little shy about mentioning this. Apparently he asked if they had found a little garment in the shape of a mouse. Among the interesting items ending up as lost property in London were DNA samples of a disease, several oversized tins of baked beans, and a live rabbit left in a shoe box under a bed.C. Most hotels say policing stolen items is a balancing act. Hotels must weigh up the cost of the missing item against the possibility of insulting guests who haven"t stolen anything. If someone denies stealing, there"s not a lot more to be done about it. Unless a guest was walking out of a hotel with a towel hanging out of a suitcase, they wouldn"t follow it up. None of the hotels keeps a blacklist of guests who have stolen items from rooms.D. Of course, one way to achieve happiness would be to realize that even by contemporary standards the things I own are pretty nice. My house is smaller than the houses of many investment bankers, but even so it has a lot more rooms than my wife and I can keep clean.E. People leave wedding dresses behind, too. Some claim them; others do not. Hotel managers around the globe have noticed an increase in the number of cell phones, batteries and cell-phone chargers left behind in recent times. Occasionally guests forget small amounts of money but never as much as the 830,000 cash left at New York"s Peninsula Hotel. The money was left in a safe by a visiting head of state and was eventually reclaimed.F. If what guests leave behind is interesting, so is what they choose to steal. Some hotels spend as much as US $10,000 (83,000 RMB) each year replacing wooden coat hangers. "Guests take anything that"s not nailed down," says one manager. "We"ve lost irons and bathrobes, and pillows are starting to become more popular." As much as US $2170 (18,000 RMB) can be spent on replacement of pillows in a six-month period. Some hotels allow between US $38,000 and US $50,000 (between 315,000 and 415,000 RMB) a year to replace missing items. Many hotels now offer to sell bath-robes, pillows and hair-driers to guests if they wish to purchase them. Most hotels budget on people **plimentary toiletries and pens but many have also stopped putting hotel logos on bathrobes, towels and toiletries to prevent the **mon practice of "souveniring". Hotels have found that items with logos are more popular than non-monogrammed items. It seems guests take them as a memento of their stay. Some hotels have printed cards in the bathrooms saying bathrobes can be bought. Ashtrays are a popular souvenir for those who stay at Hong Kong"s Royal Pacific Hotel and Towers as are blankets, leather **pendiums, glasses and coat hangers.1.2.3.4.5.Part CThe following passage is divided into three sections. You are asked to find out in which section the 10 statements are discussed or implied.Note: Answer each question by choosing A, B or C. Some choices may be required more than once.A=Mediterranean SeaB=Black SeaC=Caspian SeaWhich Sea...● receives the water from the western Causcasus region? 1●is of great political **mercial importance? 2● is linked to the Baltic Sea? 3● is linked to the Atlantic Ocean? 4● is ice-locked in winter? 5● has Ural as a tributary? 6● covers the largest area? 7● is lying between Southeastern Europe and Asia Minor? 8● is the largest in land body of water? 9●was **mercial centre of the Byzantine Empire? 10Mediterranean SeaMediterranean Sea is an in-land sea of Europe, Asia, and Africa, linked to the Atlantic Ocean at its western end by the narrow Strait of Gibraltar. The Mediterranean is almost landlocked. It is of great political **mercial importance as a maritime outlet and trade route for numerous countries. The Mediterranean Sea covers an area of about 2,510,000 sq km and is generally shallow. It is a remnant of a vast ancient sea that was squeezed almost shut about 30 million years ago, when Africa and Eurasia collided. Geological forces still cause volcanic eruptions and frequent earthquakes. An undersea sill at the Strait of Gibraltar restricts circulation, making the Mediterranean much saltier than the Atlantic Ocean. Arms of the Mediterranean include the Tyrrhenian, Adriatic, Aegean, and Ionian seas. Sicily, Sardinia, Corsica, Crete, and Cyprus are major islands. Barcelona, Marseille, Genoa, Trieste, and Haifa are important sea ports. Major rivers entering the Mediterranean are the Ebro, Rhone, Po, and Nile.Black SeaBlack Sea is an in-land sea, lying between southeastern Europe and Asia Minor. It is connected with the Aegean Sea by the Bosporus, the Sea of Marmara, and the Dardanelles. The Black Sea is bounded by Romania, Bulgaria, Turkey, Ukraine, Russia, and Georgia. The Black Sea has an area (excluding its northern arm, the Sea of Azov) of about 436,400 sq km. The Crimean Peninsula projects into the Black Sea from the north, forming the shallow Sea of Azov on the east and the Karkinitskiy Gulf on the west. The Black Sea receives the drainage from central and eastern Europe, European Russia, the western Caucasus region, and northern Asia Minor.The Black Sea is abundantly stocked with valuable fish. As an outlet for the products of Ukraineand adjoining republics, it is of special importance in **merce. Many of the colonial **mercial activities of ancient Greece and Rome, and of the Byzantine Empire, centered on the Black Sea. After 1453, when the Ottomans occupied Constantinople (present-day Istanbul), the sea was virtually closed to **merce. The Treaty of Paris of 1856 opened the sea to **merce of all nations. Caspian SeaCaspian Sea is a saltwater lake in southeastern Europe and southwestern Asia, the largest inland body of water in the world. The Caspian Sea is bordered on the west by Azerbaijan and Russia and on the south by Iran. It has an area of 371,000 sq km. The Caspian Sea is about 28 m below sea level, although this level changes from year to year.The southern and southwestern shorelines of the Caspian Sea are bordered by the Elburz Mountains and the Caucasus Mountains. The seas" numerous tributaries include the Volga, Ural, and Zhem rivers. The Caspian Sea is linked to the Baltic Sea, the White Sea, and the Black Sea by an extensive network of inland waterways, chief of which is the V olga River. These waterways provide an outlet to northern Europe for the oil fields of Baku, Azerbaijan.Navigation is frequently dangerous because of violent storms in the southeastern part of the Caspian Sea, and during the winter months the northern parts are closed by ice. The chief ports are Krasnovodsk, Turkmenistan; Baku; and Makhachkala, Russia.1.2.3.4.5.6.7.8.9.10.Section Ⅳ Writing1. You have read an article in a magazine which states that "Study should be top priority to students; traveling is only a waste of time and money to them."Write an article to clarify your own points of view towards this issue. You should use your own ideas, knowledge or experience to generate support for your argument.You should write no less than 250 words.。

Mark your answers on ANSWER SHEET 1.Text 1In recent years, there has been a steady assault on salt from the doctors: salt is bad for you ? regardless of your health. Politicians also got on board. "There is a direct relationship," US congressman Neal Smith noted, "between the amount of sodiuma person consumes and heart disease, circulatory disorders, stroke and even early death."Frightening, if true! But many doctors and medical researchers are now beginning to feel the salt scare has gone too far. "All this hue and cry about eating salt is unnecessary," Dr. Dustan insists. "For most of us it probably doesn't make much difference how much salt we eat." Dustan's most recent short-term study of 150 people showed that those with normal blood pressure experienced no change at all when placed on an extremely low-salt diet, or later when salt was reintroduced. Of the hypertensive subjects, however, half of those on the low-salt diet did experience a drop in blood pressure, which returned to its previous level when salt was reintroduced."An adequate to somewhat excessive salt intake has probably saved many more lives than it has cost in the general population," notes Dr. John H. Laragh. "So a recommendation that the whole population should avoid salt makes no sense."Medical experts agree that everyone should practice reasonable "moderation" in salt consumption. For the average person, a moderate amount might run from four to ten grams a day, or roughly 1/2 to 1/3 of a teaspoon. The equivalent of one to two grams of this salt allowance would come from the natural sodium in food. The rest would be added in processing, preparation or at the table.Those with kidney, liver or heart problems may have to limit dietary salt, if their doctor advises. But even the very vocal "low salt" exponent, Dr. Arthur Hull Hayes, Jr. admits that "we do not know whether increased sodium consumption causes hypertension." In fact, there is growing scientific evidence that other factors may be involved: deficiencies in calcium, potassium, perhaps magnesium; obesity (much more dangerous than sodium); genetic predisposition;stress."It is not your enemy," says Dr. Laragh. "Salt is the No. 1 natural component of all human tissue, and the idea that you don't need it is wrong. Unless your doctor has proven that you have a salt-related health problem, there is no reason to give it up."【2016年全国英语等级考试(PETS5)模拟练习题及答案】。
