human brain has two sides,and each side has different work to do.The left side of the brain controls language and number it analyses and reasons. The right side controls our imagination;it controls our understanding of music and our sense of rhythm.It is the right side of our brain which makes daydreams.Great artists and great scientists are similar:they both use the two sides of their brain.It is well-known that Albert Einstein as a great scientist also enjoyed art,playing the violin and sailing.Einstein said his scientific discoveries grew from his imagination rather than from analysis reason and language.He said that written and spoken words were not important in his thinking.He got ideas by using his imagination.He then used the left side of brain to use analysis.number and reason and then he used language to explain it.Usual education in schools encourages us to use the left side of our nguage, number,analysis and reasons are given more importance in our schools than imagination and daydreaming.In fact,all of us need both sides of our brain.We need to use or imaginations to think of solutions to problems and to enjoy feeling and creative experiences.And we need to be logical and to be able to analyze and organize in order to live in this world.It is true that some people find it easier to use one side of the brain rather than the otherbut all of us can use both sides and all of us benefit by using all the powers we have. Nietzsche,the well-known philosopher,said that we add to our knowledge by making conscious the unconscious.66.According to the passage, of our brain controls our understanding of music.A.the left sideB.the right sideC.both sideD.neither side67.Albert Einstein's example is used to support the idea that .A.all scientific discoveries are based on imagination.B.people should do nothing but daydreaming two sides of brain is importantD.scientists are good at imagining what may happen68.It is implied in the passage that school education .A.suggests using both sides at the brainB.finds it very important to have daydreamsC.claims that analysis and reason are of no valueD.fails to develop the sight side of the brain69.What did Nietzsche soy about adding to the knowledge we have?A.Learning happens when we are not conscious.B.Learning happens when we make unconscious decisions.C.Learning happens when we become aware of things inside us.D.Learning happens when we think about things logically.70.The author's attitude toward using two sides of the brain is .A.positiveB.neutralC.illogicalD.criticalPassage ThreeFor many people today,reading is no longer relaxation.To keep up their work they must read letters,reports,trade publications,interoffice communications,not to mention newspapers and magazines:a never-ending flood of words.In getting a job or advancing one,the ability to read and comprehend quickly can mean the difference between success and failure Yet the unfortunate fact is that most of us are poor readers.Most of us develop poor reading habits at an early age,and never get over them The main problem lies in language itself-words.Single words have little meaning until they are combined into phrases,sentences and paragraphs. Unfortunately,however,the untrained reader does not read groups of words. He reads one word at a time,often regressing to reread words or passages.Regression or looking back over what you have just read,is a common bad habit in reading.Another habit which slows down the speed of reading is vocalization-sounding each word either orally or mentally as one reads.To overcome these bad habits.some reading clinics use a device called accelerator (加速器)which moves a bar down the page at a predetermined speed.The bar is set at a slightly faster rate than the reader finds comfortable,in order to "stretch"him.The accelerator forces the reader to read fast making word by word reading,regression and vocalization virtually impossible.At first,comprehension is sacrificed for speed.But when you learn to read ideas, you will not only read faster but your comprehension will improved.Many people have found their reading skills improved a lot after some training.71.According to the passage,today many people no longer read for .A.newsB.their workrmationD.entertainment72.Most people can't read and comprehend quickly mainly because .A.they don't read groups of wordsB.they don't like to be trained in reading skillsC.they don't realize they have pour reading habitsD.they don't understand words when out together73.The following are all bad reading habits EXCEPT .A.regressionB.reading for ideas onlyC.vocalizationD.word by word reading74.How does an accelerator help people to read?A.It helps people read at a comfortable speed.B.It makes people stretch their eyes when reading.C.It forces people to overcome bad reading habitsD.It lets people look back over what they have just read.75.What does "At first,comprehension is sacrificed for speed."mean?A.The reader reads fast,but he understands everything he reads.B.The reader reads slowly,and he understands everything he reads.C.The reader reads fast without understanding everything he reads.D.The reader reads slowly,but he doesn't understand everything he reads.Passage FourWhen the dog named Juddy spotted the first sheen in her life she did what cones naturally.The four-year-old dog set off racing after the sheep across several fields and being a city animal,lost both her sheep and her sense of direction.Then she ran along the edge of cliff (悬崖)and fell 100 feet bouncing off a rock into the sea.Her owner Mike Holden panicked and celled the coastguard of Cornwall who turned up in seconds.Six volunteers slid down the cliff with the help of a rope but gave up all hope of finding her alive after a 90-minute search.Three days later,a hurricane hit the coast near Cornwall.Mr.Holden returned home fromhis holiday upset and convinced his pet was dead.He comforted himself with the thought she had died in the most beautiful part of the country.For the neat two weeks,the Holdens were heartbroken.Then,one day,the phone rang and Steve Tregear,the coastguard of Cornwall,asked Holder if he would like his dog bark.A birdwatcher.armed with a telescope found the pet sitting desperately on a rock While he sounded the alarm,the student from Leeds climbed down the cliff to collect Judy.The dog had initially been knocked unconscious(失去知觉的)but had survived by drinking water from a fresh scream at the base of the cliff.She may have fed on the body of a sheep which had also fallen over the edge."The dog was very thin and hungry"Steve Tregear said,"it was a very dog.She survived because of a plentiful supply of fresh water",he added.It was,.as Mr.Holden admitted,“a minor miracle(奇迹)”76.The dog Judy fell down the cliff when she was .A.rescuing her ownerB.caught in a hurricaneC.blocked by a rockD.running after a sheep77.Who spotted Judy after the accident?A.bird watcherB.A student from LeedsC.Six volunteersD.The coastguard of Cornwall78.What can be inferred from the passage?A.People like to travel with their pets.B.Judy was taken to the fields for huntingC.Luck plays a vital role in Judy's survival.D.Holden

healthy when she was foundC.People thought Judy died after a 90-minute search.D.Judy survived because she had fresh water and food.80.The best title for the passage can be.A.Miracle of the Coastguard.B.Surviving a HurricaneC.Dangers in the wild.D.A narrow Escape.III.Translation (20 points)Directions:In this part,there is one paragraph in English.Read the paragraph carefully andtranslate it into Chinese.How should we react to disasters?I think it is reasonable to face them.No one expects disasters,but if they come,they are there,and we must accept them as they are.In this way it might be easier for us to recover from the shock they bring to us.Second,I'll concentrate on what I can do to relieve the bad effect of the disaster.We can not do what is done,but we can make things a little better with our efforts.Finally,in the face of disasters,we should help each other and unite to make up the losses caused by the disaster.IV.Writing (20 points)Directions:For this part,you are

They each held a shovel and began to shovel dirt into the well. At first the donkey cried loudly when he realized what was happening. Then, a few shovelfuls later, he quieted down completely. The farmer looked down into the well, and was greatly surprised by what he saw. With every shovelful of dirt at his back, the donkey wouldshake it off and take a step up on the new layer of dirt.As the farmer’s neighbors continued to shovel dirt on top of the animal, he would shake it off and take a step up. Pretty soon, to the great surprise of everyone, the donkey stepped up over the edge of the well and walked off fast.Life is going to shovel dirt on you, all kinds of dirt. The good way of getting out of the well is to stop crying, and not to let the dirt bury you, but to shake it off and take a step up. Each one of our troubles is a stepping stone.

Please gather for funeral service in the meeting room.”While there was some sadness among the employees at the unexpected news of the death of their co-worker, they were curious to know who was stopping them from succeeding. Moreover, most of them were now interested in the possibility of moving up and succeeding in the company.Many employees were shocked to find all their co-workers still present and very much alive when they entered the meeting room.“If it wasn't him or her, then who? Who was holding us back from succeeding? Who has passed away?”they all thought.The employees went to the coffin(棺材) one by one, and each was at a loss when they saw what was inside. They could not make sense of what they were seeing.There was only a mirror in the coffin. So, when each employee looked in to see who were“holding them back from success,”they saw themselves. Besides, there was a sign next to the mirror that read:You are the only person who can limit your growth.You are the only person who is capable of creating your success. It is not the situations and people that change your life, the way you face different situations and people in life makes the difference. Your life will change when you overstep your limiting beliefs and realize you are in control of your life.You now know who has been preventing you from reaching your full potential(潜力).

Passage ThreeQuestions 11 to 15 are based on the following passage:There are a few things you should keep in mind when you talk to your professors(大学老师), especially if you ask for a particular favor.Call them by the right title. A “Doctor”is someone with a Ph. D.:not all professors have a Ph. D.“Professor”is usually acceptable, unless you have been told otherwise. I prefer to be called by my first name, and I make that point clear on the first day of my class. If you are totally unsure,a"Mr."or“Ms.”is usually fine. Do not use “Mrs” unless the professor herself uses it; it is time to recognize that not all adult women are or want to be married.Be prepared to do the work. If you have missed an assignment or a test or are falling behind in your reading, and you are seeking help to catch up or a special dispensation(豁免) to make up the assignment, you had better be prepared to do the work- and generally under more difficult conditions.get the impression that a lot of students imagine I might just say“don't worry about it, I'll give you the points.”This,of course, is not going to happen.Prepare for disappointment. So often a professor will not or cannot help you. Your professor probably spent hours writing his or her syllabus(课程大纲), and probably spent another hour explaining it to you at the beginning of the class, so he or she has invested a lot in the rules. They especially hate it when you do not do an assignment and then ask for a way to make it up. Your only choice might be to shift into damage control, see what you can do, and ask honestly if you should continue in the class.As a general rule, professors respect true interest. They will go out of their way to help if they feel that you are honestly interested in doing well.11. Which title is usually acceptable for a student to call a teacher at a university?A. Doctor. C. Mr. or Mrs.B. Professor. D. First name.12. As a university student who has missed a test, you had better.A. ask for a particular favor C. get prepared to work harderB. ask for an easy makeup test D. seek help from your professor13. Professors hate it when students do not do an assignment and then ask for a way to make it up, for they have already .A. explained the syllabus C. finished writing their syllabusB. invested much in the rules D. prepared to disappoint their students14. What will professors do when they feel that you are really interested in doing well?A. Offer you help as much as possible.C. Ask you to get prepared for the workB. Require you to catch up with othersD. Give you the points you want to have.15. What can you infer from the passage?A. We can often use"Mrs." for women professors.B. The author is likely to give the points as the students wish.C. You should drop out of the class when you fail to do an assignment.D. Students should follow some advice when dealing with their professors. Passage FourQuestions 16 to 20 are based on the following passage:Imagine there is a small fire in your kitchen. Your fire alarm goes off, warning everyone nearby about the danger. Someone calls 911. You try to put the fire out yourself-maybe you even have a fire extinguisher(灭火器) in the kitchen. If that does not work, you know how to safely leave. By the time you get outside,a fire truck is already pulling up. Firefighters use the hydrant(消防栓) in front of your house to extinguish the fire before any of your neighbors' homes are ever at risk of catching fire.We need to prepare to fight disease outbreaks just as we prepare to fight fires. If a fire is left to burn out of control, it becomes a threat not only to one home but to an entire community. The same is true for infectious(传染的) diseases, except on a much bigger scale. As we know all too well from Covid-19, an outbreak in one town can quickly spread across an entire country and then around the world.When the World Health Organization first described Covid-19 as a pandemic just over three years ago, it marked a collective failure to prepare for pandemics, despite many warnings. And I worry that we are making the same mistakes again. The world has not done as much to get ready for the next pandemic as I had hoped. But it is not too late to stop history from repeating itself. The world needs a well-funded system that is ready to act immediately when danger appears. We need a fire department for pandemics. I am optimistic about a network called the Global Health Emergency Corps(全球卫生应急联盟) that the WHO and its partners are building. This network of the world's top health emergency leaders will work together to get ready for the next pandemic. Just as firefighters run drills to practice responding to a fire, the Emergency Corps plans to run drills to practice for outbreaks. The exercises will make sure that everyone- governments, health care providers, emergency health workers-knows what to do when a potential outbreak appears.16. What is the relationship between pandemics and fires according to the author?A. Pandemics are not as dangerous as fires.B. Fires are easier to control than pandemics.C. Both can quickly spread across an entire country.D. Both pose a threat to a community if left uncontrolled.17. As for pandemics, the author is worried that _A. they are not dangerous than firesB. firefighters are not trained to respond to themC. the world is not doing enough to prepare for themD. the Global Health Emergency Corps will not be successful18. What is the Global Health Emergency Corps?A. An organization that provides funding for medical research.B. A program to train firefighters to respond to health emergenciesC. A new technology launched by WHO to extinguish fire s more efficientlyD. A network of top health emergency leaders preparing for the next pandemic.19. What is the purpose of running drill for outbreaks?A. To ensure everyone knows what to do.B. To ask people to take health measures.C. To find an effective cure for pandemics.D. To test fire extinguishers in case of a fire.20. What is the main idea of the passage?A. We should always have a fire extinguish er in our kitchen.B. Covid- 19 was not described as a pandemic over three years ago.C. The world needs to prepare for pandemics as we prepare for fires.D. Firefighters should work together with health care providers during pandemics. Format IIDirections: In the following passage, some sentences have been removed.

Part II. Reading Comprehension (45 points )Passage TwoLike most people, I've long understood that I will be judged by my occupation that my profession is a gauge( 尺度)people use to see how smart or talented I am. Recently however, I was disappointed to see that it also decides how I'm treated as a person. Last year, I left a professional position as a small-town reporter and took a job as a waitress. One night a man talking on his cell phone waved me away, then beckoned(示意)meback with his finger minutes later, complaining he was ready to order and asking where I' d been.I had waited tables during summers in college and was treated like a peon(勤杂工) by plenty of people. But at 19 years old, I believed I deserved inferior( 较差的) treatment from professional adults. Besides, people responded to me differently after I told them I was in college. Customers would joke that one day I' d be sitting at their table, waiting to be served.Once I graduated I took a job at a community newspaper. From my first day, I heard a respectful tone from everyone who called me. I assumed this was the way the professional world worked.It' s no secret that there' s a lot to put up with when waiting tables, and fortunately, much of it can be easily forgotten when you pocket the tips. The service industry, by definition, exists to cater to others' needs. Still, itseemed that many of my customers didn't get the difference betweenserver and servant.I' m now applying to graduated school, which means someday I' ll return to a profession where people need to be nice to me in order to get what they want. I think I'll take them to dinner first, and see how they treat someone whose only job is to serve them.31.The author was disappointed to find thatA.one' s position is used as a standard to measure one' s intelligence .B.talented people like her should fail to get a respectable jobC.one' s occupation affects the way one is treated as a personD.professionals tend to look down upon manual workers32. What does the author intend to say by the example in the secondparagraph?A.Some customers like to make loud complaints for no reason at all.B.People absorbed in a phone conversation tend to be absent-minded.C.Waitresses are often treated by customers as casual acquaintances.D.Some customers simply show no respect to those who serve them.33. What did the customers do to the author when they learned she was acollege student?A.They changed their attitude towards her.B.They told her she was a good waitress.C.They offered to wait at her table.D.They started to laugh at her.34.The p hrase“cater to”in Paragraph 5 is closest in meaning toA.denyB. ignoreC. satisfyD.emphasize35.The author says she' ll one day take her clients to dinner in order toA.help people living a humble lifeB.see what kind of people they areC.show off her education backgroundD. experience the feeling of being servedSection Two: Read the following text and choose the most suitable sentence from A-G for each blank.

For example, the Japanese will say to travelers, “Go straight down to the corner. Turn left at the big hotel and go past a fruit market. The post office is 24 from the bus stop.” In the Midwest of America, there are no towns 25 building within miles. So instead of landmarks, people will 26 you directions and distance. In Kansas, for example, people will say, “Go north two miles. Turn east, and then go 27 3 miles.” People in Greece sometimes do not even try to give directions because 28 visitors understand the Greek language.

Reading Comprehension (30%)Passage 1How to keep more food on the tableIt’s said that in some parts of the world, people are facing the problem of hunger. So what can we do to help them? Here are some tips:Cook from the fridgeStart with the fresh food. If you have some in the fridge, use them first. Make a meal with what you have got instead of running out to the supermarket for something else. You’ll probably save more time using what’s on hand.Learn to read the labels“Best-before” and “use-by” dates are more important. Learn to know the different periods of food and know what foods are good for. For example, black bananas are proper for baking, fresh vegetables are good in soups, and bread that is not fresh can be turned into small pieces.Use the freezer(冷冻室)The freezer can keep food fresh until you are ready to cook them, then store the cooked food until you’re ready to eat it. It’s also the best place for the remaining food. Mark the date of the food nearby, so it’s easy to find the food you need to eat first and will never leave them there for too long.Plan meals ahead of time so that you know exactly what to buy. Doing this helps reduce food waste because it’s possible to buy too much of a certain food and then forget to eat or cook it later.36.What is the most important information on the label according to the passage? . 3A.Ingredient.B. Date.C. Factory.D. Weight.37. According to the passage, what should we do with the black banana?2A.Throw it into the dustbin.e it for baking.C.Give it to others.D.Eat it as usual.38. We often use the freezer to .3A.save more moneyB.make food coolC.stop food from going badD.buy food as we like39. “ ” should be put in the blank.3A.Shop with a listB.Share food with othersC.Cook food ahead of timeD.Buy enough food at a time40. The purpose of this passage is to teach us how to .3A.save nutrition (营养) in foodB.save the world from hungerC.make delicious foodD.save food in daily lifePassage 2Dear Jeff my old friend,It’s really nice to hear from you again!
