ComprehensionPart ADirections:Reading the following fours texts.Answer the question below each text by Choosin [A],[B],[C]or[D].Mark your answer on ANSWER SHEET1.(40points)Text1The decision of the New York philharmonic to hire Alan Gilbert as its nex music director has been the talk of the classical-music world ever since the sudde announcement of his appointment in2009.For the most part,the response has bee favorable,to say the least“Hooray!A t last!”wrote Anthony Tommasini,a sober-sided classical-music criticOne of the reason why the appiontment came as such a surprise,however is that Gilber is commparatively little known Even Tommasini,who had advocate Gilbert’s appointment in the Times,calls him“an unpretentious musician with n air of the formidable conductor about him.”As a description of the next music director of an orchestra that has hitherto been led by musicians like Gustav Mahle and Pierre Boulez,that semms likely to have struck at least some Times readers a faint prwiseFor my part,I have no idea whether Gilbert is a great conductor or eve a good one.To be sure,be performs an impressive variety of interesting composition but it is not necessary for me to visit Avery Fisher Hall,or anywhere else,to hea interesting orchestral music.All I have to do is to go to my CD shelf,or boot u my computer amd download still more recorded music form iTumesDevoted concertgoers who reply that recording are no substitute for liv performance are missing the point.For the time,attention,and money of the art-loving public,classical instrumentalists must compete not only with opera houses,dance troupes,theeater companies,and museums,but also with the recorse performances of the great classical musicians of the20th century.There recordinmusic that is not yet available on recors.Gilbert’s own interest in new music ha been widely noted:Alex Ross,a classical-music critic,has described him as a ma who is capable of turning the Phiharmonic into“a markedly different,more vibran organization”But what will be the nature of that difference?Merely,expandin the orchestra’s repertorre will not be enough.If Gilbert and thr Philharmonic ar to succeed,they must first change the relationship between America’a olderes orchestra and the new audience it hops to attract.21.We learn from Para1that Gilbert’s appointment has[A]incured criticism[B]raised suspicion[C]raceived acclaim[D]around curiousity22.Tommasini regards Gilbert as an artist who is[A]influential[B]modest[C]respectable[D]talented23.The auther believes that the devoted concertgoers[A]ingore the expense of live performance[B]reject most kinds of recorded performance[C]exaggerate the variety of live performanc[D]overestimate the variety of live performance24.According to the text,which of the following is true of recordings?[A]They are often interror to live concerts in quality[B]They are easily accessible to the genral public[C]They help improve the quality of music[D]They have only convered masterpieces25.Regarding Gilbert’s role in revitalixing the Philharmonic,the authir feel[A]doubtful[B]enthusisastic[C]confident[D]puzzledText2When Liam McGee departed as president of Bank of America in August,his expanation was surprisingly straight up.Rather than cloaking his exit in the usuaMaGee says leaving without a position lined up gave him time to refect o what kind of company he wanted to run.It also sent a clear message to the outsid world about his aspirations.And McGee isn't alone.In recent weeks the NO.2 executives Avon and American Express quit with the explanation that they were lookin for a CEO post.As boards scrutinize succession plans in response business environment also has senior managers cautious of letting vague pronouncements clou their reputations.As the first signs of recovery begin to take hold,deputy chiefs may be mor willing to make the jump without a net.In the third quarter,CEo turnover was dow 23%from a year ago as nervous boards stuck with the leaders they had,accordin to Liberum Research.As the economy picks up,opportunities will abound for aspirin leaders.The decision to quit a senior position to look for a better one is unconventional.For years executives and headhunters have adhered to the rule tha the most attractive CEO candidates are the ones who must be poached.Says Krn Ferr senior partner Dennis Carey,"I can't think of a single search I've done where board has not instructed me to look at sitting CEOs first."Those who jumped without a job haven't always landed in top positions quickl Ellen Marram quit as chief of Tropicana a decade age,saying she wanted to be a CEO It was a year before she became head of a tiny Internet-based commoditied exchange Robert Willumstad left CItigroup in2005with ambitions to be a CEO.He finally too that post at a major financial institurion three years later.Many recruiters say the old disgrace is fading for top performers.The financial crisis has made it more acceptable to be between jobs or to leave a ba on."The traditional rule was it's safer to stay where you are,bu that's been fundamentally inverted,"says one headhunter."The people who've been hurt the wors are those who've stayed too long"26.When McGee announced his departure,his manner can best be described as being(A.ArrogantB.frankC.self-centeredD.impulsive27.According to Paragraph2,senior executives quitting may be spurred by()A.their expectation of better financial statusB.their need to reflect on their private lifeC.their strained relations with the boardsD.their pursuit of new career goals28.The word"poached"(Line3,Paragraph4)most probably means()C.top performers care more about reputationsD.it's safer to stick to the traditional rules.30.Which of the following is the best title for the text?A.CEOs:where to GO?B.CEOs:All the Way Up?C.Top managers Jump without a NetD.The Only way out for Top PerformersText3The rough guide to marketing success used to be that you got what you pai for.No longer.While traditional"paid"media-such as television commercials an print advertisements-still play a major role,companies today can exploit many alternative forms of media.Consumers passionate about a product may create"owned media by sending e-mail alerts about products and sales to customers registered wit its Webe site.The way consumenrs now approatch the board range of factors beyon conventional paid media.Paind and owned media are controlled by marketers promoting their own products.For earned media,such marketers act as the initiators for users'response But in some cases,one marketer's owned media become another marketer's paid media-for instance,when an e-commerce retailer sells ad space on its Web site.W difine such sold media as owned media whose traffic is so strong tha other organization palce their content or e-commerce engines within that environment Thies trend,which we believe is still in its infance,effectively began with retailers and travel providers such as airlines and hotels and will no doubt g further John&JOhnson,for example,has created BabyCenter,a stand-alone medi property that promotes complementary and even competitive products.Besides generating income,the presence of other marketers makes the site seem objective gives companies opportunities to learn valuable information about the appeal o other companies'marketing,and may help expand user traffic for all companies concerned.The same dramatic technological changes that have provided marketers wit more(and more diverse)communications choices have also increased the risk tha passionate consumers will voice their opinions in quicker,more visible,and muc more damaging ways.Such hijacked media are the opposite of earned media:an asse or campaign become hostage to consumers,other stakeholders,or activists who mak negative allegations about a brand or product.Members of social networks,for instance,are learning that they can hijack media to apply pressure on the businesscurve has been steep.Toyota Motor,for example,alleviated some of the damage fro its recall crisis earlier this year with a relatively quick and well-orchestrate social-media response campaign,which included efforts to engage with consumer directly sites such as Twitter and the social-news sit Digg.31.Consumers may creat"earned"media when they are()A.obscssed with online shopping at certain Web sitesB.inspired by product-promoting e-mails sent to themC.eager to help their friends promote quality productsD.enthusiastic about recommending their favorite products32.According to Paragraph2,sold media feature()A.a safe business environmentB.random competitionC.Strong user trafficD.flexibility in organization33.The author indicates in Paragraph3that earned media()A.invite constant conflicts with passinate consumersB.can be used to produce negative effects in marketingC.may be responsible for fiercer competitionD.deserve all the getative comments about them34.Toyota Motor's experience is cited as an example of()A.responding effectively to hijacked mediaB.persuading customers into boycotting productsC.cooperating with supportive consumersD.taking advantage of hijacked media35.Which of the following is the text mainly about?A.Alternatives to conventional paid mediaB.Conflict between hijacked and earned mediaC.Dominance of hijacked mediaD.Popularity of owned mediaText4It’s no surprise that Jennifer Senior’s insightful,provocative magazin cover story,“I love My Children,I Hate My Life,”is arousing much chatter-nothin gets people talking like the suggestion that child rearing is anything less tha a completely fulfilling,life-enriching experience Rather than concluding that children make parents either happy or miserable,Senior suggests we need to redefin happiness,instead of thinking of it as something that can be measured byThe magazine cover showing an attractive mother holding a cute baby is hardl the only Madonna-and-child image on newsstands this week.There are also storie about newly adoptive-and newly single-mom Sandra Bullock,as well as the usual “Jennifer Aniston is pregnant”news.Practically every week features at least on celebrity mom,or mom-to-be,smiling on the newsstands.In a society that so persistently celebrates procreation,o sot any wonder tha admitting you regret having children is equivalent to admitting you support kitten-killing?It doesn’t seem quite fair,then,to compare the regrets of paren to the regrets of the children.Unhappy parents rarely are provoked to wonder i they shouldn’t have had kids,but unhappy childless folks are bothered with th message that children are the single most important thing in the world:obviousl their misery must be a direct result of the gaping baby-size holes in their livesOf course the image of parenthood that celebrity magazine like Us Weekl and People present is hugely unrealistic,especially when the parents are singl mothers like Bullock.According to several studies concluding that parents are les happy than childless couples,single parents are the least happy of all.No shoc there,considering how much work it is to raise a kid without a partner to lean on yet to hear Sandra and Britney tell it,raising a kid on their“own(read:wit round-the-clock help)is a piece of cake.”It’s hard to imagine that many people are dumb enough to want children just becaus Reese and Angelina make it look so glamorous:most adults understand that a bab is not a haircut.But it’s interesting to wonder if the images we see every wee of stress-free,happiness-enhancing parenthood aren’t in some small,subconsciou way contributing to our own dissatisfactions with the actual experience,in the sam way that a small part of us hoped getting“the Rachel”might make us look jusa little bit like Jennifer Aniston.36.Jennifer Senior suggests in her article that raising a child can bring[A]temporary delight.[B]enjoyment in progress.[C]happiness in retrospect.[D]lasting reward.37.We learn from Paragraph2that[A]celebrity moms are a permanent source for gossip.[B]single mothers with babies deserve greater attention.[C]news about pregnant celebrities is entertaining.[C]fail to fulfill their social responsibilities.[D]are less likely to be satisfied with their life.39.According to Paragraph4,the message conveyed by celebrity magazines is[A]soothing.[B]ambiguous.[C]compensatory.[D]misleading.40.Which of the following can be inferred from the last paragraph?[A]Having children contributes little to the glamour of celebrity moms.[B]Celebrity moms have influenced our attitude towards child rearing.[C]Having children intensifies our dissatisfaction with life.[D]We sometimes neglect the happiness from child rearing.Part BDirections:The following paragraph are given in a wrong order.For Questions41-45 you are required to reorganize those paragraph into a coherent text by choosing fro the list A-G to filling them into the numbered boxes.Paragraph E and C have bee correctly placed.Mark your answers on ANSWER SHEET 1.(10points)[A]No disciplines have seized on professionalism with as much enthusiasm the humanities.You can,Mr.Menand points out,became a lawyer in three years and medical doctor in four.But the regular time it takes to get a doctoral degree i the humanities is nine years.Not surprisingly,up to half of all doctoral student in English drop out before getting their degrees.[B]His concern is mainly with the humanities:Literature,languages,philosoph and so on.These are disciplines that are going out of sytle:22%of American colleg graduates now major in business compared with only2%in history and4%in English However,many leading American universities want their undergraduates to have grounding in the basic canon of ideas that every educated person should posses.Bu most find it difficult to agree on what a“general education”should look like At Harvard,Mr.Menand notes,“the great books are read because they have been read”they form a sort of social glue.[C]Equally unsurprisingly,only about half end up with professorships for whic they entered graduate school.There are simply too few posts.This is partly becaus universities continue to produce ever more PhDs.But fewer students want to stud humanities subjects:English department awarded more bachelor’s degrees in1970-7 than they did20years later.Fewer students requires fewer teachers.So,at thprofessional education should be kept separate,taught in different schools.Man students experience both varieties Although more than half of Harvard undergraduate end up in law,medicine or business,future doctors and lawyers must study a non-specialist liberal-art degree before embarking on a professional qualification[E]Besides professionalizing the professions by this separation top American universities have professionalized the professor.The growth on public money fo academic research has speeded the process:federal research grants rose fourfol between1960and1990,but faculty teaching hours fell by half as research took it toll.Professionalism has turned the acquisition of a doctoral degree into a prerequisite for a successful academic career:as late as1969a third of America professors did not possess one.But the key idea behind professionalization,argue Mr.Menand,is that“the knowledge and skills needed for a particular specializatio are transmissible but not transferable.”So disciplines acquire a monopoly not jus over the production of knowledge,but also over the production of the producers o knowledge.[F]The key to reforming higher education,concludes Mr.Menand,is to alter th way in which“the producers of knowledge are produced.”Otherwise,academics wil continue to think dangerously alike,increasingly detached from the societies whic they study,investigate and criticize.“Academic inquiry,at least in some fields may need to become less exclusionary and more holistic.”Yet quite how that happens Mr.Menand dose not say.[G]The subtle and intelligent little book The marketplace of Ideas:Reform an Resistance in the American University should be read by every student thinking o applying to take a doctoral degree.They may then decide to go elsewhere.For something curious has been happening in American Universities,and Louis Menand a professor of English at Harvard University,captured it skillfully.SectionⅢWritingPart A51.Directions:Write a letter to a friend of yours to1)recommend one of your favorite movies and2)give reasons for your

And even if a person is poor he doesn't feel really poor when he had a car.Henry Ford was the man who first started making cars in large numbers. He probably didn't know how much the car was going to affect American culture. The car made the United Stated a nation on wheels. And it helped make the United States what it is today.There are three main reasons why the car become so popular in the United States. First of all, the country is a huge one and Americans like to move around in it. The car provides the most comfortable and cheapest form of transportation. With a car people can go anyplace without spending a lot of money.The second reason cars are popular is the fact that the United States never really developed an efficient and inexpensive form of public transportation. Long-distance trains have never been as common in the country as they are in other parts of the world. Nowadays there is a good system of air-service provided by planes. But it is too expensive to be used frequently.The third reason is the most important one, though. The American spirit of independence is what really made cars popular. Americans don't like to wait for a bus, or a train or even a plane. They don' t like to have to follow an exact schedule. A car gives them the freedom to schedule their own time. And this is the freedom that Americans want most to have.The gas shortage has caused a big problem for Americans. But the answer will not be a bigger system of public transportation. The real solution will have to be a new kind of car, one that does not use so much gas.1. Most Americans feel they are poor when they ________.A. have no jobB. have no foodC. have no moneyD. have no car2. Henry Ford was the first to ________ cars in large numbers.A. inventB. sellC. haveD. produce3.“A nation on wheels”means that ________.A. the country is producing the best cars in the worldB. everyone in this country owns a carC. cars play a very important role in people' livesD. there are more cars than trains in this country4. With a car people can go ________ easily.A. anywhereB. to anyplaceC. to anywhereD. any place5. The real solution to the gas shortage problem is ________.A. to make less carsB. to develop a public transportation systemC. to make gas-saving carsD. to develop train servicePasssage TwoQuestions 6 to 10 are based on the following passage.Packaging is a very important form of advertising. A package can sometimes motivate people to buy products. For example, a little child might ask for a breakfast food contained in a box with a picture of a TV character. The child is more interested in the picture than in breakfast food. Pictures for children to color or cut out, games printed on a package, or a small gift inside a box also motivate many children to buy products---or to ask their parents to buy for them.Some packages suggest that a buyer will get something for nothing. Food products sold in reusable containers are examples of this. Although a similar product in plain container might cost less, people often prefer to buy the product in a reusable glass or dish, because they believe the container is free. However, the cost of the container is added to the cost of the product.The size of a package also motivates a buyer. Maybe the package has“Economy Size”or“Family Size”printed on it. This suggests that the larger size has the most product for the least money. But that is not always true. To find it out, a buyer has to know how the product is sold and the price of the basic unit.The information on the package should provide some answers. But the important thing for any buyer to remember is that a package is often an advertisement. The words and pictures do not tell the whole story. Only the product inside can do that.6.“A buyer will get something for nothing”in paragraph 2 may probably mean ________.A. a buyer will not get what he pays forB. a buyer will get more than what he pays forC. a buyer will get something useful free of chargeD. a buyer will get more but pay less7.

2011年普通高等学校招生全国统一考试(全国卷）第三部分阅读理解（共20小题；每小题2分，满分40分）AWhen milk arrived on the doorstepWhen I was a boy growing up in New Jersey in the 1960s, we had a milkman delivering milk to our doorstep。

His name was Mr。

Basille. He wore a white cap and drove a white truck. As a 5-year—old boy, I couldn’t take my eyes off the coin changer fixed to his belt. He noticed this one day during a delivery and gave me a quarter out of his coin changer.Of course， he delivered more than milk. There was cheese, eggs and so on。

If we needed to change our order, my mother would pen a note —“Please add a bottle of buttermilk next delivery" — and place it in the box along with the empty bottles. And then， the buttermilk would magically appear.All of this was about more than convenience。

Each passage is followed by some questions or unfinished statements. 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 centre.Passage OneQuestions 21 to 25 are based on the following passage.Every artist knows in his heart that he is saying something to the public. Not only does he want to say it well, but he wants it to be something that has not been said before. He hopes the public will listen and understand --- he wants to teach them, and he wants them to learn from him.What visual artists like painters want to teach is easy to make out but difficult to explain, because painters translate their experiences into shapes and colors, not words. They seem to feel that a certain selection of shapes and colors out of the countless patterns is exceptionally interesting for them and worth showing to us. Without their work we should never have noticed these particular shapes and colors, nor have felt the delight which they brought to the artist.Most artists take their shapes and colors from the world of nature and from human bodies in motion and repose(歇息). Their choices indicate that these aspects of the world are worth looking at, and that they contain beautiful sights. Contemporary artists might say that they merely choose subjects that provide an interesting pattern, and that there is nothing more in it. Yet even they do not choose entirely without reference to the character of their subjects.If one painter chooses to paint a gangrenous(长坏疽的) leg and another a lake in moonlight, each of them is directing our attention to a certain aspect of the world. Each painter is telling us something, showing us something, emphasizing something --- all of which means that, consciously or unconsciously, he is trying to teach us.21. It is hard to explain what a painter is saying, because________.A) most painters do not express themselves wellB) a painter uses unusual words and phrasesC) a painter uses shapes and colors instead of wordsD) many painters do not say anything22. A painter chooses certain shapes and colors because he feels that they ______.A) have been used frequently in the past C) are worth showing to the publicB) are easy to work with D) will be most attractive to the public23. The writer says that contemporary artists might say their choice of subject ________.A) carries a message to the publicB) only provides interesting patternC) has no pattern or formD) teaches the public important truths24. The passage implied but not stated________.A) a painting is more easily understood than a symphonyB) art is merely the arranging of shape and colorC) every artist tries to say something to the publicD) one must look beyond shape and color to understand what the artist is sayingPassage TwoQuestions 25 to 29 are based on the following passage.One day in 1754, a man went to the market in Florence, Italy, and bought some meat. The shopkeeper wrapped the meat in a piece of paper and the man took it home. When he unwrapped the meat, he was surprised to see some old writings on the paper.This man was in charge of the public library, so he knew a lot about old books and old writings. He realized that the paper was a page of scientific notes.“Only one man wrote like that,” the librarian said to himself. “It was Galileo(伽利略) who wrote these notes!”Who was Galileo? Galileo was a famous Italian scientist. He was a man of ideas, but he was also a man of action. He made many experiments in order to find out more about the earth and the universe. Galileo believed that scientists should not only sit in universities and talk about theories, but they should also make practical experiments and learn from the results.Galileo wrote down notes of all the experiments he made. After Galileo’s death in 1642, Viviani, one of his students, collected the notes together and put them into his own library. However, when Viviani died, nobody looked at Galileo’s notes any longer. For many years, people forgot about them.The librarian hurried back to the market and asked the shopkeeper where he had got the paper from. The shopkeeper led him to the house where he bought the paper from. In the house, the librarian found many more of Galileo’s notes. The family gave them to him.In this way, a large number of important notes about Galileo’s experiments were saved.25. The librari an got Galileo’s notes from ____.A) the butcher C) a family living in Viviani’s houseB) Viviani D) the market near Viviani’s house26. Which statement about Galileo is NOT true?A) He was full of ideas. C) He was an Italian.B) He did a lot of experiments. D) He gave his notes to Viviani.27. Which statement about Viviani is NOT true?A) He kept Galileo’s notes.B) He was Galileo’s student.C) He passed on the notes to his daughter.D) He put the notes in his own library.28. After Viviani’s death, the notes ____.A) were given to one of his friends C) were lostB) were left somewhere in his house D) lost its value29. It can be inferred from the story that ____.A) the family was unaware that they had Galileo’s notesB) the librarian bought the notesC) Viviani gave the notes to the familyD) the shopkeeper informed the librarian of the notesPassage ThreeQuestions 30 to 34 are based on the following passageWe were married in October just prior to the beginning of heavy snowfalls. It would snow heavily throughout the whole winter. Our only entertainment was listening to the radio or attending the local high school sporting events. My new husband was a lover of sports. He had been a world-class boxer and also participated in most sports. I was a lover of the arts. Speech, drama and dance were my first love. The nearest town with this kind of entertainment was forty miles away and the highway was closed off during much of the winter.We had only been married seven months when I received word that my mother, who was battling cancer, would not live much longer. Even though there was the dairy with 75 cows and a large farm to take care of, as soon as my husband read the telegram, he sadly said, “Honey, get your bags packed while I make reservations for you. Your place is with your mother and your father right now.” To him there had been no other decision to make. Every week I would receive a letter telling me all about how the farm was doing and inquiring about my parents and how we were all doing. Little was said about his sadness of being alone, or of missing his new wife, except at the very end of his letters where an unmistakeable “I love you” was written. Teenage dream letters would have been filled with remarks of undying love and pain of missing me, but his letters were simple words of reality.Four months later, after the funeral and final matters were taken care of with my father and brother, I returned to Idaho where I knew my husband would be at the airport to meet me.The look in his eyes told me more than any dream letter could. The joy and honesty of love was deep. On the 80-mile drive to our home, I talked incessantly while he quietly listened, without interrupting. When he finally had a chance to say something, he asked me to open the glove compartment of the car and take out an envelope with my name on it. “I wanted to give you something special to let you know how much I missed you,” he said quietly.I opened the envelope to find season tickets, for both of us, to all of the area’s fine art functions. Our income was not all that great and I was stunned. “I don’t believe this,” I cried. “You don’t enjoy these things!”When I finally stopped protesting, he reached out, hugged me, and quietly said, “No, but you do, and I will learn.”In that moment I realized marriage wasn’t 50/50, but real love was made of 100/0 sometimes. Love means putting the other one first. His example taught his young wife a great lesson – a lesson that has made a happy marriage for 51 years.30. For the entertainment on the farm during the winter ______.A) there were many sporting eventsB) one could only listen to the radio or attend local high school sporting eventsC) there were many boxing matchesD) one could easily attend speech, drama, and dance programs31.

What does “incessantly” mean in the 4th paragraph mean?A)loudly B) rapidly C) slowly D) continuously34.

College English Exercises (Band I)Part I. Skimming and Scanning(10 points)Directions: In this part, you have 15 minutes to go over the passage quickly and make the choice to the questions after reading the passage, then mark the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet with a single line though the centre.For questions 1-7, markY (for YES) if the statement agrees with the information given in the passage;N (for NO) if statement contradicts the information given in the passage;NG (for NOT GIVEN) if the information is not given in the passage.For question 8-10, complete the sentences with the information given in the passageDealing with FearMost people love to talk, but even the most talkative person can become a bundle of nerves at the thought of having to give a speech. This fear of speaking in public seems to be universal. In one study, people were asked what they fear most. Only 32 percent reported a fear of heights. Only 22 percent reported a fear of financial problems. Only 18 percent reported a fear of either sickness or death. But a whopping 40.6 percent reported a fear of speaking in public. This percentage was higher than that for any other item tested!Not only is fear of speaking common, it is a very normal reaction. People naturally become nervous under pressure. First, of course, standing in front of a group whose eyes are all focused on us makes us self-conscious. The knowledge that what we say will be analyzed and evaluated makes us even more anxious. Even professional speakers are more nervous when they can see people taking notes and getting ready to evaluate.Nearly all of us experience the same effects when we are nervous. Before the speech we can't eat or sleep. At the time of the speech, we experience trembling perspiring, shortness of breath, and increased heartbeat. If we let ourselves think about our nervousness during the speech, we may feel self-doubt, loss of contact with the audience, a jumping back and forth from point to point, and occasional lapses of memory.Nervousness need not result in speech problems. In fact, most people can and do control their fears. It is important to note that our goal is "controlling fear" and not "getting rid of it". Let’s start by looking at four factors that can work in your favor.You Are in Good CompanyNot only does forty percent of the population regard public speaking as the thing they fear most, but also many experienced speakers confess to nervousness when they speak. I can hear you now: “Don’t give me that line --- you can’t tell that you fill in the blank with some person you know is nervous when he or she speaks in public!" You doubt me? Ask the person. He or she will tell you. Even famous speakers like Abraham Lincoln and Franklin D. Roosevelt were nervous before speaking. The difference in nervousness among people is a matter of degree --- good speakers learn to channel their nervousness. The following statement may surprise you: I would be disappointed if you were not nervous. Why? Because you must be a little nervous to do your best. Of course I do no, mean that you should be blind with fear But a bit of nervousness gets the adrenalin (肾上腺) flowing--- and mat get you ready to speak.Despite Nervousness, You Can Make It Through a SpeechVery few persons are so bothered that they can't function. You may not enjoy the speech-but you can do it.Your Listeners Aren't Nearly as Likely to Notice Your Fear as You ThinInexperienced speakers find their fear increases because they think their audiences know how nervous they are. This makes the speaker more self-conscious. The fact is that people, even speech instructors, greatly underratethe amount of nervousness they believe a person has. Once you realize that your audience doesn't really notice the fear that you feel, you'll no longer experience so much nervousness.The More Experience You Get in Speaking, the More Able You Become to Cope with Nervousness As you gain experience, you learn to think about the audience and the message and not about yourself. You also come to realize that audiences are usually very supportive. You will find that having a group of people listening to you alone is very satisfying.Some Behaviors to Put into Operation Before and During the SpeechWe have looked at four factors that operate, almost without your knowledge, to help you cope with fear. Now let's consider some of the behaviors that you can put into operation before and during the speech itself.The very best behavior for controlling nervousness is to pick a topic you know something about and that you are interested in. Public speakers cannot allow themselves to be content with a topic they don't care about An unsatisfactory topic almost guarantees nervousness at the time of the speech. By the same token, having a topic that you know about and are truly interested lays the groundwork for a good speech.Then, give yourself enough time to prepare fully. Don't back yourself into a corner where you must find material, organize it, write an outline, and practice the speech all before an hour or two. This will almost guarantee failure and destroy your confidence. On the other hand, if you will do a little work a week before the assignment, you will feel less pressure and an increase of confidence.Giving yourself enough time to prepare fully includes enough time for practice. If our national love affair with big-time athletics has taught us anything, it is that careful preparation that allows an athlete or a speaker to succeed. Among more or less equal opponents, the team that wins is the team that is mentally and physically prepared. When an athlete says, "I'm going into this contest as well prepared as I can possibly be," he or she is more likely to do well. In this regard, speech making is not different from athletics. If you have carefully prepared and practiced your speech, you will do the kind of job that will make you proud.During this preparation period you can also be "psyching yourself up" for the speech. If you have a good topic and if you are well prepared, yo ur audience is going to profit from listening to you. That’s right—even though this is only a class and not a professional speaking experience. The audience is going to be glad they have heard you. Now before you say "Come on. Who are you trying to kid!" think of speeches you have heard. When someone had really good ideas, weren't you impressed? Of course you were. The fact is that some of the speeches you hear in class are going to be some of the best and most valuable speeches you are ever going to hear. Students learn to put time and effort into their speeches and many of them turn out to be quite good. If you work at it, your class is going to look forward to listening to you.In addition to what you can do before the speech, there are also some things that you can do at the time of the speech to reduce fear. Research indicates that it is during the period right before you walk up to give your speech and the time when you have your first contact with the audience that your fear is at its greatest.To make the most of these research findings, you must know yourself. Are you better off "getting it over with"? That is, being the first person to speak that day? If so, you can usually volunteer to go first. But regardless of when you speak, there is at least one additional thing yet, which can do to help yourself: Don't spend your time thinking about yourself or your speech. At the moment the class begins, you have done all you can to be prepared. This is the time to get your mind on something else. Try to listen to each of the speeches that come before you. Get involved with what each speaker is saying. Then when your turn comes, you will not be overly "worked up".As you walk to the speaker's stand, remind yourself that you have good ideas. You are well prepared. Your audience is going to want to hear what you have to say. So, even if you make mistakes, the audience will profit from your speech.When you reach the stand, pause a few seconds before you start. Take a deep breath. This may help get your breathing in order. Try to get movement into your speech during the first few sentences. Sometimes a few gestures or a step one way or another is enough to help break some of the tension.Remember that the college classroom may be the best place for developing confidence as a speaker.1. The passage tells you how to overcome stage fright.2. Even professional speakers are more nervous when they can see people taking notes and getting ready to evaluate.3. All of us have the same behaviors when we are nervous.4. If you have a good appearance, you are often confident in the public speech.5. If you realize that your audience doesn't really notice the fear that you feel, you'll experience much more nervousness.6. One way to control stage fright is to say something you are familiar with.7. The author of the article is definitely not nervous when he speaks.8. If you prepare the speech for a week before the assignment, you will feel less pressure and ______.9. You would have the greatest fear at the time before you walk up to give your speech and when you have ______.10. If you want to develop confidence in making speech, the best place you can choose is______.Part II. Listening Comprehension(30 points)Section A.

You are required to select one word for each blank from a list of choices given in a word bank following the passage. Read the passage through carefully before making your choices. Each choice in the bank is identified by a letter. Please mark the corresponding letter for each item on the Answer Sheet with a single line through the centre.

Even though seat belts could 48 nearly half of the deaths in fatal car accidents, 85 percent of the population simply won’t wear them.More than 30,000 drivers and front seat passengers are killed or 49 injured each year. A 50 of only 30 miles per hour is the same as falling from a third-floor window. Wearing a seat belt saves lives; it 51 your chance of death or serious injury by more than half.52 , drivers or front seat passengers over 14 in most vehicles must wear a seat belt. If you do not, you could be fined up to $50. It will not be up to the drivers to make sure you wear your belt. But it will be the driver’s responsibility to make sure that children under 14 do not 53 in the front unless they are wearing a seat belt of some kind.54 , you do not have to wear a seat belt if you are reversing your vehicle; or you are making a local delivery or collection using a special vehicle; or if you have a valid medical certificate which excuses you from wearing it. Make 55 these circumstances apply to you before you decide not to wear your seat belt.Remember you may be taken to 56 for not doing so, and you may be fined if you cannot prove to the court that you have been excused from wearing it.Section B. Passages (20 points)Directions: There are 2 passages in this section. Each passage is followed by some questions or unfinished statements. 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 centre.Passage OneQuestions 62 to 66 are based on the following passage.In some ways the employment interview is like a persuasive speech because the applicant (interviewee) seeks to persuade the employer (interviewer) to employ him or her. Several suggestions might prove helpful to the applicant when he or she is preparing for the actual interview.A job applicant should gather certain types of information before the interview. First, the applicant should know what kind of job he wants and how that job relates to his career objective. It is important that the applicant be able to state why he wishes to work for a particular company. Second, the applicant should seek as much information as possible concerning the company, such as the location, the financial situation of the company, plans for expansion, and company philosophy. Information about most big corporations is available in reference books and periodicals.After gathering information concerning the company, the applicant is ready for the interview. The interviewer’s first impression comes from the interviewee’s appearance. For most interviews, the appropriate dress for a man is a conservative(保守的) dark colored suit with a long sleeve white or light blue shirt and conservative tie.Although hairstyle and dress are matters of personal taste, many personnel directors get first impressions from these characteristics. For example, one recent college graduate, who felt himself qualified, interviewed for a public relations job. Ho wever, the personnel manager considered this young man’s long hair, sloppy dress, and overly casual manner unsuited for this particular position.62. For whom is the passage most likely written?A. An employee.B. An employer.C. An interviewee.D. An interviewer.63. As the author suggests, what the applicant should know before the interview is _____.A .the type of work he wants and his career expectationB. his career objective a particular company will decideC. the reasons why a particular company wants to employ himD. all of the above64. Before the interview, the applicant should obtain some information about _____.A. most big corporationsB. the company he wants to work forC. reference books and periodicalsD. business and philosophy65. What the applicant wears, as the author suggests, can make him become _____.A. expressiveB. impressiveC. informativeD. conservative66. What does the passage tell us through the example in the last paragraph?A. The importance of personal taste.B. The importance of public relations.C. The importance of self-confidence.D. The importance of a first impression.Passage TwoQuestions 67 to 71 are based on the following passage.Sleep is part of a person's daily activity cycle. There are several different stages of sleep, and they too occur in cycles. If you are an average sleeper, your sleep cycle is as follows. When you first drift off into slumber (安睡), your eyes will roll about a bit, your temperature will drop slightly, your muscles will relax, and your breathing were slow and become quite regular. Your brain waves slow down a bit too, with the alpha rhythm of rather fast waves predominating for the first few minutes. This is called stage 1 sleep. For the next half hour or so, as you relax more and more, you will drift down through stage 2 and stage 3 sleep. The lower your stage of sleep, the slower your brain waves will be. Then about 40 to 60 minutes after you lose consciousness you will have reached the deepest sleep of all. Your brain waves will show the large slow waves that are known as the delta rhythm. This is stage 4 sleep.You do not remain at this deep fourth stage all night long, but instead about 80 minutes after you fall into slumber, your brain activity level will increase again slightly. The delta rhythm will disappear, to be replaced by the activity pattern of brain waves. Your eyes will begin to dart around under your closed eyelids (眼皮) as if you were looking at something occurring in front of you. This period of rapid eye movement lasts for some 8 to 15 minutes and is called REM sleep. It is during REM sleep period, your body will soon relax again, your breathing will grow slow and regular once more, and you will slip gently back from stage 1 to stage 4 sleep —only to rise once again to the surface of near consciousness some 80 minutes later.67.The stages of sleep take on ____.A) an irregular aspect. B) a regular aspectC) a punctual aspect D) a similar aspect68.Stage 4 sleep lasts ____.A) about 80 minutes B) about 40 to 60 minutesC) about 30 minutes D) about 20 to 40 minutes69.The brain waves are the slowest during ____.A) stage 1 B) stage 2 and stage 3C) stage 4 D) REM sleep70.In the second paragraph the word “dart” means ____.A) glare B) move rapidly or suddenlyC) stop moving D) gaze71.One of the features of REM sleep is that ____.A) there are large slow waves, though rapid for the first few minutesB) you have the deepest sleepC) there are no brain wavesD) the brain waves are a little fast and the brain becomes a little activePart IV.

Originally rhinestones were referred to Czechoslovakian or Bohemian glass dating as far back as the 13th century in Bohemia and the Czech Republic. Both places have a history steeped in beautiful hand blown glass as well as molded and cut glass.By 1918 glass was no longer limited to functional items. Czechoslovakian glass began to make its appearance in dazzling and brilliant jewelry. This Czech glass became known as rhinestones.Rhinestones were manmade gems from highly refined glass. By using various metals the glass was colored to the desired shade. It was then pressed into molds. Each stone was then ground and polished by machine, resulting in a brilliant glass stone. Often the stones were foiled on the back which increased their brilliance.Today, the same refining process is still used. You will often hear rhinestones referred to as paste. Originally paste was referred to a glass stone that was made of ground glass which was molded and then melted, producing an opaque dense glass frosted stone. Paste had many air bubbles and swirl marks. The high lead content glass was then polished and faceted, and set on either copper or silver resulting in a brilliant stone. Today the term “paste”usually refers to rhinestones. In Europe rhinestones are often referred to as paste, strass, and diamante.Austria is another area with a history in rhinestone production. In 1891 Daniel Swarovski created a new glass cutting machine which quite literally revolutionized the jewelry business. This machine could cut faceted glass, producing finely finished product in a very short time. Prior to this invention it would take a very long time for each stone to be cut by hand and finished. Swarovski’s background in glass making, combined with his glass cutting machine soon found him producing rhinestones with a lead content of over 30%. The brilliance of these rhinestones was superior to anything seen on the market. Swarovski wasn’t content with his invention and the best rhinestones ever seen. His next invention was once again transforming to the jewelry industry. He created a vacuum plating for the backs of the stones with silver and gold, reducing the need forhand labor. Still today Swarovski rhinestones are recognized as the highest quality in the industry. Over 80% of rhinestone jewelry manufactured in America use Swarovski rhinestones.Rhinestones have played an important role in costume jewelry for hundreds of years. It is used to enhance and decorate the costumes, and sometimes rhinestones will provide the entire design. During the Victorian period common design patterns for jewelry included snakes, flowers, and hands most often adorned with rhinestones.The 1890s were a time for extravagant jewelry heavily with rhinestones. As time moved forward designs became simpler with figural shapes once again making their fashion statement. However this time they were small and more elegant with small rhinestone decorations.During the Edwardian period extravagance had made a comeback with diamonds and pearls being the focal point. Once again rhinestones were in heavy use, often used to imitate the real thing.During the 1920s fashions were rapidly changing. Dresses had gone from tight, fitted to a looser, more comfortable style. Two distinct styles occurred during this ear --- the feminine style and the androgynous style (having both female and male characteristics). Jewelry from the 1920s drew on the art decoration period. The majority of rhinestone jewelry was made with clear rhinestones.As the 1920s moved jewelry once again became bolder. Dramatic color was in style. Designer Coco Chanel was an integral figure in setting the stage for jewelry of this era.During the 1930s, during the Depression, labor-intensive fashion was no longer feasible. While the world in chaos, jewelry represented an affordable comfort to many women. Inexpensive costume jewelry could be used to revitalize an old outfit. The industry began to produce bright colored enamel pieces decorated with rhinestones. Dogs, birds, or cats with a rhinestone eye were commonplace.The jewelry during 1940s once again became big and bold with rhinestones being produced in every imaginable color, large stones set on large bold setting was the norm.By the 1950s there were two very distinct looks --- elegant and sophisticated for the more mature woman, and casual and fun for the younger woman. The 1950s saw jewelry that were made completely from rhinestones. For the younger woman were flirty prices, for the older woman sophisticated elegance. Whole sets of rhinestones jewelry became extremely popular.In 1953 the aurora borealis rhinestone was introduced to the market with its fabulous array of color. It was an instant hit.By 1906s women were wearing very functional clothing. By the late 1960s the hippie fashions were extremely popular with their roots tied to Mother Nature. Tie dyed shirts, long flowing skirts, frayed jeans were everywhere. This generation had no interest in rhinestone jewelry.By the mid 1970s, the punk look had been born and the rhinestone was revitalized. It was the disco movement brought the rhinestone back to center stage. The disco movement turned into the club movement during the 1980s and rhinestone jewelry continued to gain popularity.Since the 1970s rhinestones have remained main stream in the jewelry world. They continue to gain popularity and today there is a style to suit almost every one’s needs. There is rhinestone jewelry which is perfect for a bride, rhinestone jewelry for a prom girl, rhinestone jewelry for the young and fun crowd, the business woman, the sophisticated woman, and the mature woman. Beautiful pieces of rhinestone jewelry adorn almost every woman’s accessories.If trends are an indication of the rhinestones future, it appears to have a brilliant healthy life ahead of it. Pleasing for most women with a fashion sense who instantly recognize the value and beauty of rhinestones!1.

Part II Reading Comprehension (Skimming and Scanning)(10 points)
Directions: In this part, you will have 15 minutes to go over the passage quickly and answer the questions on Answer Sheet. Make yourself More Lively 1. Exercise During the Day There are plenty of great reasons to exercise, and I won’t rehash them all here. Many people, though, find that exercising helps them to sleep well at night----yet another health-boosting benefit. If you’re struggling to fit exercise into your day, try looking for ways to get active in your lunch hour or straight after work. If exercise forms a natural part of your routine, you’ll be much more likely to stick with it. 2. Stop Work in the middle of a Task Sometimes, even when we do manage to get up on time, we’re just not in the mood to rock! At the end of the day, try stopping work in the middle of a task. If you’re a writer, that might mean ending part way through an article; if you are a programmer, it may mean leaving something that you can easily come back to. The advantage here is that instead of building up the energy to get stuck in on something new----where you haven’t already gathered momentum----you’ve got an easy little task to start off your day and to get you straight into working, diminishing the urge to procrastinate. 3. Avoid Caffeine in the Evening Drinking tea, coffee, cola or other caffeinated drinks in the evening is almost certainly going to have a bad effect on your sleep. Everyone’s a bit different here, but it’s worth setting yourself a clear “caffeine curfew”. I used to drink tea at 6:30 p.m. after work each evening but I quickly found that this wasn’t helping me get to sleep on time! Now, I rarely drink anything caffeinated after 4pm, and that works for me. Post-dinner coffee is definitely a habit to get out of----if you like it for the taste or the social aspect, try decaffeinated instead. 4. Set out your clothes the night before When I wake up in the morning, even deciding what to wear can be enough effort to keep me under the covers！ that’s you, try setting your clothes out the night before: decide exactly what you’re wearing and hang your If clothes at the far edge of your closet, or over a chair or on a door. It might seem like a little thing, but waking up ready to rock means taking care of as many decisions as possible before that moment when you’re looking for any excuse to hit “snooze”. 5. Don’t eat a heavy dinner You’ve probably had the experience of eating a big dinner and then finding that your stomach is uncomfortably full, gurgling and churning as it digests your food. This definitely isn’t a good start to a night’s sleep. You could eat a bit earlier in the evening, or simply eat a lighter meal at dinner time. Don’t go too light, though----wake up at 3:00 a.m. because you are hungry won’t do much for your sleep either. A happy balance here depends very much on you as an individual, so experiment a little to find what works. 6. Journal or read before bed Many of us find it hard to “switch off” at the end of the day, often lying awake thinking about all the stuff that we didn’t get done, or worrying about what’s coming up the following day. A couple of great ways to deal with problem are: Write in a journal before you go to bed----get any problems out of your head and onto the paper. Often, this is enough to ensure that they are not preying on your mind when you try to sleep. Read a book, preferably fiction ---- this is a great way to forget what’s been going on during the day, and to do something relaxing before you sleep. 7. Know what you are doing first
