Passage OneQuestions 21 to 25 are based on the following passage.When Rowland Hill, little more than a hundred years ago, first advocated the introduction of cheap postage in England, he had to face many opponents of the scheme; some said that it would not pay, others that it was unworkable. But Hill, supported by general public opinion, eventually overcame opposition, and late in 1839 the Penny Post was established. From then until the first world war the cost of sending a letter any distance within the United Kingdom remained at one penny. The gloomy prophecies (预言) of the critics were not fulfilled: the profits of the Post Office were maintained and improvements in transport and administration made it possible not only to handle the increased volume of correspondence but also to extend postal facilities.Before this great change took place, the charge for sending a letter varied according to the distance the letter was carried and had to be paid for on delivery by the person to whom it was addressed. The lowest charge was four pence and for long distances as much as eighteen pence. Such high rates, when wages were low, could rarely be afforded by poor people, who were often compelled to refuse letters from their dear ones because they were unable to pay. Under the new scheme, a letter was paid for by the sender, who affixed(贴上) to it an adhesive(粘的) postage stamp, the cost of which was within reach of all. Thus the poor were enabled to exchange news with their relations and friends at a time when many of them had left their homes to seek work elsewhere.Businessmen also found cheap postage a boom and, since it soon turned out to be a great financial success, the new scheme was, before long, adopted by every civilized country in the world——a final tribute(明证) to the wisdom and vision of its promoter.21. “Some said that it (i.e. Rowland Hill's scheme) would not pay” means ________.A. some said that people would refuse to pay for the schemeB. some said that the scheme would not be profitableC. some said that the scheme was not economicalD. some said that they did not have enough money to pay for the scheme22. Rowland Hill's system is known as the ‘Penny post’ ________.A. because it undertook the delivery of all inland letters for the charge of one pennyB. since it was established late in 1839C. because many people who used its facilities were poorD. as a result of the gloomy prophecies of those who had said scheme would not pay23. Postal facilities were extended after the introduction of the Penny Post ________.A. because the volume of correspondence increasedB. as a result of improvements in transport and administrationC. until the first world warD. provided that the cost of sending a letter remained at one penny24. Under the old system the poor had frequently been compelled to refuse letters ________.A. because they could not afford to pay the high postage rates which had to be paid on receipt of a letterB. unless the charge on them was less than four penceC. although rates varied according to the distance letters were carriedD. because many of them had left their homes to seek work elsewhere25. The new postal scheme was adopted by every civilized country in the world ________.A. because it enabled the poor, as well as the rich, to exchange newsB. as a tribute to the wisdom and vision of its promoterC. since the scheme, in addition to its convenience, had proved financially successfulD. a hundred years after its adoption by the EnglishPassage TwoQuestions 26 to 30 are based on the following passage.We can make mistakes at any age. Some mistakes we make are about money. But most mistakes are about people. “Did Jerry really care when I broke up with Helen?”“When I got that great job, did Jim really feel good about it, as a friend? Or did he envy my luck?”“And Paul-why didn't I pick up that he was friendly just because I had a car?” When we look back, doubts like these can make us feel bad. But when we look back, it's too late.Why do we go wrong about our friends——or our enemies? Sometimes what people say hides their real meaning. And if we don't really listen, we miss the feeling behind the words. Suppose someone tells you, “You're a lucky dog.” Is he really on your side? If he said, “You're a lucky guy” or “You're a lucky gal,” that's being friendly. But “lucky dog”? There's a bit of envy in those words. Maybe he doesn't see it himself. But bringing in the “dog” bit puts you down a little. What he may be saying is that he doesn't think you deserve your luck.“Just think of all the things you have to be thankful for” is another noise that says one thing and means another. It could mean that the speaker is trying to get you to see your problem as part of your life as a whole. But is he? Wrapped up in this phrase is the thought that your problem isn't important. It's telling you to think of all the starving people in the world when you haven't got a date for Saturday night.How can you tell the real meaning behind someone's words? One way is to take a good look at the person talking. Do his words fit the way he looks? Does what he says quare with(符合) the tone of voice? His posture? The look in his eyes? Stop and think. The minute you spend thinking about the real meaning of what people say to you may save another mistake.26. In the first paragraph, the writer recalls some things that happened between him and his friends. He ________.A. feels happy, thinking of how nice his friends were to himB. feels he may not have “read” his friends' true feeling correctlyC. is sorry that his friends let him downD. thinks it was a mistake to have broken up with his girl friends, Helen27. In the second paragraph, the writer talks about someone saying, “You're a lucky dog.” He is saying that ________.A. the speaker of this sentence is just being friendlyB. this saying means the same as “You're a lucky guy” or “You're a lucky gal.”C. the word “dog” shouldn't be used to apply to peopleD. sometimes the words give a clue(线索) to the feeling behind the words28. This passage tries to tell you how to ________.A. avoid mistakes about money and friendsB. “size up” peopleC. avoid mistakes in understanding what people tell youD. keep people friendly without trusting them29. In listening to a person the important thing is ________.A. to notice his tone, his posture, and the look in his eyeB. to listen to how he pronounces his wordsC. to check his words against his manner, his tone of voice, and his postureD. not to believe what he says30. The phrase ‘puts you down’ (Para 2, Line 7) can be replaced by another phrase “________”.A. makes you humbleB. reduces you to silenceC. press you downD. makes you sadPassage ThreeQuestions 31 to 35 are based on the following passage.It is not often realized that women held a high place in southern European societies in the 10th and 11th centuries. As a wife, the woman was protected by the setting up of a dowry or decimum. Admittedly, the purpose of this was to protect her against the risk of desertion(抛弃), but in reality its function in the social and family life of the time was much more important. The decimum was the wife's right to receive a tenth of all her husband's property. The wife had the right to withhold consent(不同意), in all transactions(交易) the husband would make. And more than just a right: the documents show that she enjoyed a real power of decision, equal to that of her husband. In no case do the documents indicate any degree of difference in the legal status of husband and wife.The wife shared in the management of her husband's personal property, but the opposite was not always true. Women seemed perfectly prepared to defend their own inheritance against husbands who tried to exceed their rights, and on occasion they showed a fine fighting spirit. A case in point is that of Maria Vivas, a Catalan woman of Barcelona(巴塞罗那). Having agreed with her husband Miro to sell a field she had inherited, for the needs of the household, she insisted on co mpensation(补偿). None being offered, she succeeded in dragging her husband to the scribe(法律学家) to have a contract duly drawn up assigning her a piece of land from Miro's personal inheritance. The unfortunate husband was obliged to agree, as the contract says, “for the sake of peace.” Either through the dowry or through being hot tempered, the Catalan wife knew how to win herself, within the context of the family, a powerful economic position.31. A decimum was ________.A. the wife's inheritance from her fatherB. a gift of money to the new husbandC. a written contractD. the wife's right to receive one tenth of her husband's property32. In the society described in the passage, the legal standing(地位) of the wife in marriage was ________.A. higher than that of her husbandB. lower than that of her husbandC. the same as that of her husbandD. higher than that of a single woman33. What compensation did Maria Vivas get for the field?A. Some of the land Miro had inheritedB. A tenth of Miro's landC. Money for household expensesD. Money from Miro's inheritance34. Could a husband sell his wife's inheritance?A. No, under no circumstances.B. Yes, whenever he wished to.C. Yes, if she agreed.D. Yes, if his father in law agreed.35. Which of the following is NOT mentioned as an effect of the dowry system?A. The husband had to share the power of decision in marriage.B. The wife was protected from desertion.C. The wife gained a powerful economic position.D. The husband was given control over his wife's property.PART TWOⅣ. Word Spelling (10 points, 1 point for two items )将下列汉语单词译成英语。

READING COMPREHENSIONRead the two passages and choose the most likely answer to each of the questions. Write the letter corresponding to your choice on the answer sheet (2 points each, 20 points in all) Passage 1Friendship and friends continue to remain central to our lives. The relationship that we share with our friends is grounded in a mutual concern as our friends help us in shaping up our personalities as well. Even in this age of online social networking, the need of expanding the network of friends, whether online or offline remains a primary concern for people. We may have a very vague understanding of what makes a friend but we all want to have a good many friends around us.Research has shown that the quality and nature of your friends are one of the key influencing factors in achieving happiness and satisfaction. Friends often affect the health and energy of a person as well. More and more people are increasingly turning towards their friends for support and mutual sharing rather than communicating to their relatives; this sociological phenomenon has escalated the desire to make more friends. Though friendship is a relationship developed between two individuals marked by a voluntary, emotional and mutual concern, there are certain steps, which, if followed, can win you friends or at least help you get close to those whom you want to make friends with.The first step to make friends with someone is to make them like you. If they don’t like you in the first place, it is unlikely that they’ll be eager to become your friends. To let someone know that you are genuinely interested in them, simple gestures like a little smile and calling him by his first name can lay the basic foundation. To make the other person feel important you need to be a good listener and encourage the other person to talk. Give your honest and sincere opinion but do not overtly criticize or make fun of him or her.The second step of making someone your friend is to develop amutual consideration between each other. You need to share his or her perspective and for that it is necessary for you to develop a tendency to see things from the other perso n’s point of view. To become best of friends you must show a genuine concern and consideration for your friend’s desires and opinions.The third and final step towards friendship is to show your unconditional support and encouragement towards your friend. Moreover, you also need to be very clear about your expectations from your friend. If what you expect from the person you want to befriend matches with what that person can and want to contribute in friendship, the developing friendship between you and your friend is assured to grow, making both of you gratified with mutual emotional bonding. Friendship has overwhelming significance on both social and individual levels. Friendship doesn’t only provide us with emotional as well as practical support but it also helps us improve our personal identities. So it is quite natural to feel the urge to reach out and make new friends, expanding your friend’s circle. Friendship remains familiar yet quite ambiguous (模糊的) for our deeper understanding, but then again, friends remain the most important ingredients in the recipe of life!41. The relationship between friends is based on ______.A. the social networking around friendsB. friends’ caring and helping each otherC. the style friends choose to communicateD. an unclear understanding of what makes a friend42. Which of the following statements has been proved correct?A. The better quality your friends have, the happier you will be.B. Communication with friends is healthier than that with relatives.C. The more friends you have, the more satisfied you are with yourself.D. Those you like in the first place are more likely to become your friends.43. The word “escalated” in the second paragraph probably means ______.A. intensifiedB. challengedC. shiftedD. resisted44. It can be inferred from the first suggested step that ______ is NOT likely to win you friends.A. making others talkB. being very talkativeC. telling people you like themD. addressing others in an informal way45. What structure does the author use to organize this passage?A. Effect- cause.B. Comparison- contrast.C. General- specific- general.D. Definition - explanation - example.Passage 2Every single student that applies for a class or course online has certain expectations and they are often extremely high. Unfortunately for most individuals, they will be disappointed. It is a fact that the majority of individuals believe that they will actually enjoy every aspect of their course. The truth is that there is very little in a degree to inspire until an individual actually completes the course and is awarded the degree or certificate that could change his or her life. This is no different with an online education and, in fact, the disappointment may be more obvious because they may face extra difficulties in an online course.Online education expectations are often incredibly high, as previously stated, in terms of what an individual can get from it as well as the manageability of the content itself. However, although an individual will ultimately be proven right about what he or she can get from it, this will not be the case for manageability. Most online education courses are anything butmanageable for those who decide to take them. The level of work would be the same as any other degree or qualification course, but an individual is expected to manage it on his or her own instead of having a tutor or lecturer there to remind him or her about assignments and deadlines. Time management is extremely important, but the nature of these individuals’ life often makes it impossible to manage without feeling the stresses and strains of the burden.It is important to be realistic with your expectations concerning an online education course, but many are completely unrealistic. If you read any of the accounts from students that have already taken and may have even passed an online education course, many will speak in glowing terms; but you should also read between the lines.They claim that their expectations will ultimately be fulfilled in terms of the long-term benefits. However, in the short term they may say they found it difficult to cope with the workload, the lack of time that they actually had to complete it, an unsupportive employer and so on. This last point may not be an issue if you are doing it to advance yourself within your current workplace, but there will otherwise be some sort of resentment bubbling under the surface and that can indeed make your life amisery for a little while. If you expect it and prepare for it then it should not bother you too much, and if the resentment does not come then so much the better!In terms of your own expectations, the best attitude to have is not to go in with any at all. If you do not expect anything then you may be pleasantly surprised. It can be difficult to fit an online education in with personal commitments, such as a family to look after or a job to go to every day whilst trying to study. It does take a lot of effort, but if you do not expect it to be easy or expect that you will just be able to do it without the balance of your life being upset as a result, then you will probably find that you do get a sense of satisfaction from it! Similarly, if you expect the worst then you will probably be pleasantly surprised! Managing your expectations can be difficult, but do not let them get the better of you !46. The manageability is more difficult in online courses than in any other course because ______.A. online courses require higher level of workB. online courses bring much more assignmentsC. online course takers have no way to contact their lecturersD. online course takers have to rely on themselves for management47. According to the passage, one may not have the problem of an unsupportive employer if ______.A. he is fully prepared to deal with any resentment from his bossB. his online education will be beneficial to his current workplaceC. his expectations will be fulfilled in the form of long-term benefitsD. he can discuss the issue width his boss openly and bravely on the table48. According to the writer of this passage, one’s satisfaction in online education might come from ______.A. high expectationsB. diligent effortsC. a realistic attitudeD. a proper balance49. In the last sentence of this passage, the phrase “get the better of you” probably means “______”.A. make a fool of youB. take advantage of youC. get too fancy for you to imagineD. become too high for you to control50. This passage is written mainly for the purpose of ______.A. inspiring its readers to fulfill their expectations through hard workB. persuading its readers to be more practical with their personal commitmentsC. informing its readers about the disadvantages of the courses they take onlineD. preparing its readers for the hardships they may encounter in online educationV.

After protracted discussion and her repeated pleas she had been allowed this weekly visit to the disco run by the church youth club, provided she caught the nine-forty bus without fail. It’d put her down at the “Crown and Anchor” at Cobb’s marsh, only fifty yards from her cottage. From ten fifteen her father would begin watching for the bus to pass the front room where he and her mother would sit half-watching the television, the curtains drawn back. Whatever the programme or weather, he would then put on his coat and come out to walk the fifty yards to meet her, keeping her always in sight. Since the Norfolk Whistler had begun his killings, her father had an added justification for the mild domestic tyranny which she half-realized, he thought right in dealing with his only child and rather enjoyed. The concordat had been early established：“You do right by me, my girl, and I’ll do right by you.”She both loved him and slightly feared him and she dreaded his anger. Now there would be one of those awful rows in which she knew she couldn’t hope to look to her mother for support. It would be the end of her Friday evenings with Wayne and Shirl and the gang. Already they teased and pitied her because she was treated like a child. Now it would be total humiliation. Her final desperate thought was to hire a taxi and chase the bus, but she didn’t know where the cab rank was and she hadn’t enough money; she was sure of that. She could go back to the disco and see if Wayne and Shirl and the gang between them could lend her enough. But Wayne was always skint (⾝⽆分⽂的)and Shirl too mean and by the time she had argued and cajoled(哄骗)it would be too late. 1. What was the girl’s problem now? A. The bus was late B. She was late for the nine-forty bus C. She was afraid to encounter the Norfolk Whistler D. Her father would not come out to meet her on her way home 2. Why did the girl think "This was the end"? A. She had seen the Norfolk Whistle coming B. She would never be able to get home C. Her parents would give her a hard time D. She would never be allowed to visit the disco again 3. How long would it take her to get to the "Crown and Anchor"by bus? A. 40 minutes or so B. About half an hour C. Over an hour D. Hard to tell 4. Which of the following statements is probably true? A. Her father had been strict with her ever since the Norfolk Whistler began his killings B. Her father had always been strict with her since her childhood C. She dreaded her father because he was always angry with her D. Whatever happened her mother always sided by her 5. "She was sure of that."This means that she was sure___ A. she could catch up with the bus if she took a taxi B. she could not borrow any money from either Wayne or Shirl C. she did not have enough money on her to hire a taxi D. she would never be able to get home in time 2. Are some people born clever, and others born stupid? Or is intelligence developed by our environment and our experiences? Strangely enough, the answer to both these question is yes. To some extent our intelligence is given us at birth, and no amount of special education can make a genius out of a child born with low intelligence. On the other hand, a child who lives in a boring environment will develop his intelligence less than one who lives in rich and varied surrounding. Thus the limits of a person’s intelligence are fixed at birth, but whether or not he reaches those limits will depend on his environment. This view, now held by most experts, can be supported in a number of ways. It is easy to show that intelligence is to some extent something we are born with. The closer the blood relationship between two people, the closer they are likely to be in intelligence. Thus if we take two unrelated people at random from the population, it is likely that their degree of intelligence will be completely different. If on the other hand we take two identical twins they will very likely be as intelligent as each other. Relations like brothers and sisters, parents and children, usually have similar intelligence, and this clearly suggests that intelligence depends on birth. Imagine now that we take two identical twins and put them in different environments. We might send one, for example, to university and the other to factory where the work is boring. We would soon find differences in intelligence developing, and this indicates that environment as well as birth plays a part. This conclusion is also suggested by the fact that people who lives in close contact with each other, but who are not related at all, are likely to have similar degrees of intelligence. 1. Which of these sentences best describes the writer’s point in Paragraph 1? A. To some extent, intelligence is given at birth B. Intelligence is developed by the environment C. Some people are born clever and others born stupid D. Intelligence is fixed at birth, but is developed by the environment 2. It is suggested in this passage that___. A. unrelated people are not likely to have different intelligence B. close relation usually have similar intelligence C. the closer the blood relationship between people, the more different they are likely to be in intelligence D. people who lived in close contact with each other are not likely to have similar degrees of intelligence. 3. Brothers and sisters are likely to___. A. have similar intelligence B. have different intelligence C. go to the same university D. go to the same factory 4. In Paragraph 1 (line 5), the word "surrounding"mean___. A. intelligence B. life C. environments D. housing 5. The best title for this article would be___. A. On Intelligence B. What does Intelligence Mean? C. We are Born with Intelligence D. Intelligence Is Developed by Environments。

Not many years ago,some farmers were worried because hawks were taking many of their chicken.The farmers didn‟t know what to do.Finally they went to the country officials and asked for help.“Kill the hawks,”the officials said,“We will even pay for them,”so the farmers began to think of ways to kill the hawks.The farmers killed many hawks.They no longer had to worry about their chickens.But they now had a new worry.Field mice were eating up a lot of the farmers’grain.How did this happen?Hawks eat not only chickens but also field mice.They eat more field mice than chickens.But the farmers didn‟t know this.When they killed a lot o fhawks,they changed the balance.When people move into a new place,they often destroy many wild plants.Often these plants are food for the animals.If the animals can‟t find enough plants to eat,they will starve or have to leave the place.In one part of the USA,for example the deer there like to eat a certain kind of wild roses.The mountain lions there eat the deer.The number of deer,mountain lions and wild roses doesn‟t change much if people leave things as they are.But people killed many mountain lions in order to protect the deer.Soon there were so many deerthat they ate up all the wild roses.Then the deer began to eat the green leaves of young trees.These trees were important to the farmers.So the farmers thought of ways to protect their trees.Now the deer had nothing to eat,and many of them died.This was another lesson from nature.To keep the balance of nature is important for us to remember.1What the famers worried is their chickens were all eaten up by hawks.A TrueB FalseC Not Given2Finally the officials told the farmers to kill the hawks.A TrueB FalseC Not Given3In order to protect their chicken, the farmers killed many hawks.A TrueB FalseC Not Given4Field mice eat not only chickens but also the farmers’ grain.A TrueB FalseC Not Given5The farmers changed the balance as a result of killing hawks.A TrueB FalseC Not Given6When the animals can’t find enough plants to eat in a place,they will starve or have to leave.A TrueB FalseC Not Given7The number of mountain lions in one part of USA is more than other parts of it.A TrueB FalseC Not Given8.The number of animals changes much if people leave things as they are.A TrueB FalseC Not Given9 The farmer thought of many ways to prevent deer from eating up wild roses.A TrueB FalseC Not Given10.It is important for us to keep the balance of nature.A TrueB FalseC Not Given二阅读选择（第11-15题，每题2分，共10分）阅读下面短文，请从短文后所给各题的四个选项（A,B,C,D）中选出一个最佳选项，并在“答题卡”上将相应字母涂黑。
