Our family got an F.Tuesday night my brother watched the same two hour movie on his TV set that we were watching in the living room. Thursday Mom ran an entire dishwashing cycle for 3 cups, 2 plates, a knife and 3 little spoons. That's a lot of electricity and hot water down the drain.Dad drives 28 miles back and forth to work alone. Two men he works with live right nearby, and they could carpool (合伙使用汽车) and save about a thousand gallons of gas a year. And me, I'm guilty too. I went out and left the radio blaring in my room all Saturday morning.So last night at the dinner table we all agreed to do everything we could to conserve energy. Faster showers. Lower thermostats (温度调节器). Fuller care. (51 )It is a fact that this country's using up energy faster than we produce it. I read that we may run out of oil——-forever———in thirty years. So terrible. (52) Unless every person in every house on every block does his part, the f u t u r e looks pretty dim.I'm getting more and more concerned about the future. Because t h at's where I'm going to be.31.

The 5 questions or unfinished statements are numbered 36 through 40.Do you want to know something about the history of weather? Don’t look at the sky. Don’t look for old weather reports. Looking at tree rings is more important. Correct weather reports date back only one century, but some treescan provide an exact record of the weather even further back. (53) It is natural that a tree would grow best in a climatewith plenty of sunlight and rainfall. It is also expected that little sunlight or rainfall would limit the growth of a tree.The change from a favorable to an unfavorable climate can be determined by reading the pattern of rings in a treetrunk. (54) To find out the weather of ten years ago, count the rings of a tree trunk from the outside to the inside. Ifthe tenth ring is far from the other rings, then it is certain that plenty of sunny and rainy weather occurred. If the ringsare close together, then the climate was bad for the tree. Studying tree rings is important not only for thehistory of weather, but also for the history of man. In a region of New Mexico you can find onlysand-no trees and no people. However, many centuries ago a large population lived there. They left sud-denly. Why? A scientist studied patterns of dead tree rings which had grown there. He decided that thepeople had to leave because they had cut down all the trees. Trees were necessary to make fires and buildings. So, after the people destroyed the trees, they had to move. In this instance studying treerings uncovered an exciting fact about the history of man.36. It is understood that in a favorable climateA. tree rings grow close togetherB. tree rings grow far apartC. trees in New Mexico will grow big and tallD. people can cut down most of the trees in New Mexico37. Why did ancient people usually live where there were plenty of trees?A. Trees provided them with shades. .. .B.B. Trees indicated plenty of sunlight and rainfall.C. Trees were material for burning and building houses.D. Trees provided them with fruit and food.38. The scientists are interested in studying tree rings because they can tell ______.A. whether in that area the climate was healthy or notB. whether a particular tree was healthy or notC. whether people took good care of the trees or notD. how old the trees were39. Studying dead tree rings shows ______.A. where the people had to goB. what the people had to eatC. how the people leftD. why people had to leave40.

After reading each passage, you will find 5 questions or unfinished statements. For each question or statement there are 4 choices marked with A., B., C. and D. You should choose the most appropriate answer and write the letter in the corresponding space on the Answer Sheet.Questions 16 to 20 are based on the following passage.If you do not use your arms or legs for some time, they become weak; when you start using them again, they slowly become strong again. Everybody knows this, and nobody would think of questioning this fact. Yet many people do not seem to know that memory works in the same way. When someone says that he has a good memory, he really means that he keeps his memory in practice by exercising it regularly, either consciously or unconsciously. When someone else says that his memory is poor, he really means that he does not give it enough practice. The position is exactly the same as that of two people, one of whom exercises his arms and legs by playing tennis, while theother sits in a chair or a car all day.If a friend complains that his arms are weak, we know that it is his own fault. But if he tells us that he has a poor memory, many of us think that his parents are to blame, or that he is just unlucky, and few of us realize that it is just as much his own fault as it was his arms or legs that were weak. Not all of us can become extremely strong or extremely clever; but all of us can, if we have ordinary bodies and brains, improve our strength and our memory by the same means—practice.Have you ever noticed that people who cannot read or write usually have better memories than those who can? Why is this? Of course, because those who cannot read or write have to remember things: they cannot write them down in a notebook. They have to remember dates, times, prices, names, songs and stories, so their memory is always being exercised.So if you want a good memory, learn from the poor and humble: practise remembering.16. The first paragraph is intended to tell us that ________.A .everybody knows that memory works in the same way as arms or legsB. it is a fact that some people do not use their arms or legsC. to have a good memory, one has to exercise it regularlyD. to keep fit, one should not sit in a chair or a car all day17. In the author’s opinion, a poor memory may result from ________.A. unlucky fortuneB. weak arms and legsC. insufficient educationD. lack of remembering practice18. The author seems to suggest that we should ________.A. complain about nothing but our healthB. play tennis to exercise our arms and legsC. blame ourselves rather than our parents for a poor memoryD. learn from those who cannot read or write for a better memory19. The author comes to the conclusion that ________.A. memory can be improved by practising itB. the poorer one is, the better memory he hasC. if you want a good memory, do not read or write anythingD. the poor and humble people may help you remember things20. The most appropriate title for the passage would be ________.A. Poor and Good MemoryB. Your Arms, Legs and BrainC. How to Improve Your MemoryD. Learn from the Poor and HumbleQuestions 21 to 25 are based on the following passage.How Toxic（中毒的)Are You?Take this test and find outYes No□□1. Have you felt fatigued now and then for no apparent reason?□□2. Have you ever felt “wooden” or lifeless?□□3. Have you ever experienced drug “flashbacks”?□□4. Do you have trouble thinking clearly?□□5.

If you answered yes to 4—7 of the above questions, you could have considerable accumulated toxins, making you feel dull, lifeless and “wooden.”If you answered yes to most of these questions, you could be experiencing heavy body pollution. Clear Body, clear Mind is a new bestseller by L. Ron Hubbard. It describes the amazingly effective PURIFICAITON program that helps you get rid of the life-stopping effects of accumulated drugs and toxins in your body.Buy your copy at bookstores everywhere or contact us at 800 -810 -123456.21.

Clear Body, Clear Mind is probably the name of a ________.A. hospitalB. bookC. programD. manualQuestions 26 to 30 are based on the following passage.Higher productivity is essential to the rising of living standards and to the declining prices of goods and services. But higher productivity may lead to fewer jobs.Early in the postwar era, analysts were worried that automation would take over manufacturing, throwing everyone out of work. That fear went unrealized for a generation, in part because robots and computers weren’t good at much. Today, near-automated manufacturing is becoming a reality. Newly built factories often require only a small part of the work force in the plants. Office technology, meanwhile, now allows a few to do what once required a large group of people.There may come a point when the gains from higher productivity pale before the job losses. But even if that point does not come, rapid technological change is causing anxiety about future employment: anxiety that makes it hard to appreciate and enjoy what productivity creates.Prosperity brings many other mixed blessings. Living standards keep rising, but so do cases of depression. Agricultural yields continue rising, yet that means fewer family farms are needed. Biotechnology may allow us to live longer, but may leave us dependent on costly synthetic drugs. There are many similar examples. Increasingly, western life suffers from the paradoxes (自相矛盾) of progress. Material circumstances keep improving, yet our quality of life may be no better as a result—especially in those cases, like food, where enough becomes too much.26. The fear that automation would make people out of work turned out to be ________.A. impossibleB. reasonableC. practicalD. unnecessary27. In the third paragraph the word “pale” most probably means ________.A. result from technological changesB. decrease in relative importanceC. result in poor health.D. increase in anxiety28. We can find in the passage that it is hard to enjoy higher production because ________.A. people are afraid of automation.B. technology may change even more rapidlyC. computers are not good at some workD. unemployment may emerge on a large scale29. The last paragraph mainly tells us that ________.A. material benefits are what we needB. prosperity is just one side of the same coinC. the quality of life may be worse than beforeD. western people are free from the paradoxes of progress30. The author implies in the passage that ________.A. while life gets better, people feel worseB. life is generally not as good as it used to beC. people should return to the past to feel betterD. our quality of life has turned worse before it turns betterQuestions 31 to 35 are based on the following passages.In today’s competitive job market, students are looking for degrees outside their home countries to position themselves as global managers fluent in international practices. Among them is Simon Tindall, an American who turned down a scholarship to Georgetown University in Washington in favor of Cambridge.Foreign students make up an average 70 percent to 80 percent of non-U.S. MBA programs. In contrast, the Wharton School, at the University of Pennsylvania, reports one of the highest percentages of international students for an American program at 39 percent, a figure that includes U.S. permanent residents.While the tough recruiting climate for graduates entering the U. S. job market is a factor in the decrease, another pressure point seems to be restrictions on visas for travel, education and work in the States after the war in Iraq, SARS in Asia and political changes related to the terrorist attacks of Sept. 11, 2001.One Chinese student said she had been offered a full scholarship to attend the University of Michigan’s MBA progr am in 2002 but that a visa request had been denied two years in a row. Another could not obtain a visa to enroll at the University of California at Los Angeles.Many students are also being attracted by the affordability of international programs, especia lly in relation to costs in the United States. Most MBA programs outside the United States can be completed in one year rather than two, representing a huge saving in both tuition and opportunity costs.Britain has an advantage over other international programs in both ranking and brand value. Better rankings attract better students, who in turn improve the rankings. “The applications we received this year were on average of a much higher quality than last year,” said Gary, the admission director at Cambri dge. “The increase in applications enables us to be more selective. Year to year, we’re looking to increase the quality of the student body, which in turn strengthens competition for the whole program. ”31. Simon Tindall went to Cambridge to study for an MBA program because ________.A. Cambridge offered him a full scholarshipB. he was denied a scholarship by Georgetown UniversityC. there was a lower percentage of foreign students in BritainD. international experience would benefit him in employment32. Compared with students taking U. S. programs, those doing an MBA in Britain have ________.A. a wider variety of nationalitiesB. a small number of nationalitiesC. a hard time selecting a favorite schoolD. a better opportunity getting a full scholarship33. Some Chinese students gave up their choices of studying in the States because ________.A. their visa requests were deniedB. they found it hard to hunt a jobC. they lacked qualifications for the programD. the scholarship couldn’t cover their expenses34. The fifth paragraph tells us that most MBA programs outside the States ________.A. last longerB. are cost-efficientC. lack global attractionD. are hard to complete35. The increase in applications for MBA in Britain is due to ________ of the universities.A. the locationsB. the reputationC. the academic levelsD. the tuitions and facilitiesPart III ClozeDirections: There is a passage in this part with10 blanks in it. Read the passage carefully and then choose the most appropriate answer from the 4 choices marked with A., B., C. and D. Then you should write the letter in the corresponding space on the Answer.If you’re driving m Brooklyn, Ohio, and find yourself attracted by your surroundings, resist the urge to get hold of your cell phone and share the moment.

After reading each passage, you will find 5 questions or statements. For each question or statement there are 4choices marked with A, B, C and D. Y ou should choose the Answer Sheet. Questions 16 to 20 are based on the following passage.During the Christmas shopping rush in London, the interesting story was reported of a tramp(流浪汉)who，apparently throu9h no fault of his own，found himself locked in a well-known chain store late on Christmas Eve. No doubt the store was crowded withlast-minute Christmas shoppers. and the staff were dead beat and longing to get home. All the proper security checks were made before the store was locked and they le{ t to enjoy the three-day holiday untroubled by customers desperate to get last-minute Christmas presents.However that may be, our tramp found himself alone in the . store and decided to make the best of it. There was food, drink, bedding and camping equipment, of which he made good use. There must a} so have been- television sets and radios. Though it was not reported if he took advantage of these facilities, when the shop re-opened, he was discovered in bed with a large number of empty bottles beside him. He seems to have been a man of good humor and philosophic temperament--as indeed tramps 've ry commonly are. Everyone else was enjoying Christmas, so he saw no good reason why he should not do the same. He submitted, cheerfully enough, to being taken away by the police. Perhaps he had had a better Christmas than usual. He was sent lo prison forseven days. The judge awarded no compensation (赔偿)to the chain store for the foodand drink our tramp had consumed. They had, in his opinion, already received valuable free publicity from the coverage the story received in the newspapers and on television. Perhaps the judge had had a good Christmas too.16. The tramp was locked in the store_________A. for his own mistakesB. due to a misunderstandingC. by accidentD. through an error of judgment17. The phrase "dead beat" most probably means__________A. half asleepB. exhaustedC. angryD. forgetful18. What action did the tramp take when he was trapped in the store?A. He robbed the store.B. He made himself at home.C. He went to sleep for two days.D. He had a Christmas party.19. When the tramp was arrested, he__________A. laughed at the policeB. looked forward to going to prison.C. took his bottles with himD. yielded to the police without regret20. Why didn't the judge award compensation to the chain store?A. The tramp had stolen nothing of value.B. The store had profited by the incident.C. The' tramp deserved a happy Christmas.D. The store was responsible for what had happened.Questions 21 to 25 are based on the following passage.Efforts to educate people about the risks of subs lance abuse seem to deter somepeople from using -dangerous substances, if such efforts are realistic about what isgenuinely dangerous and what is not. Observed declines in the use of such drugs as LSD,PCP, and Quaaludes since the early 1970's are probably related to increased awarenessof the risks of their use, and some of this- awareness was the result of warnings aboutthese drugs in "underground" papers read by drug users. Such sources are influential,because they do not give a simple "all drugs are terrible for you" message. Drug usersknow there are big variations in danger among drugs and antidrug education that ignoresor denies this is likely to be ridiculed. This is illustrated by the popularity among young marijuana users of Reefer Madness, a widely unrealistic propaganda film againstmarijuana made in the 1930s. This film made the rounds of college campuses in the1 970s and joined rock-music videos on cable television's MTV in the 1980s. Instead of deterring marijuana use, it became a cult film among users, many of whom got high towatch it.Although persuasion can work for some people if it is balanced and reasonable, other people seem immune to the most reasoned education a) efforts. Millions have startedsmoking even though the considerable health risks of smoking have been well known and publicized for years. Moreover, the usefulness of education lies in primary prevention: prevention of abuse among those who presently have no problems. Hence, Bomier's(1978) contention that "if the Pepsi generation can be persuaded to drink pop wine, theycan be persuaded not to drink it while driving" is probably not correct, since most drunken driving is done by people who already have significant drinking problems, and henceseem not to be dissuaded even by much stronger measures such as loss of a driver’slicense.21 . According to the passage, up. to now, antidrug education_______A. has made all people see the danger of drugsB. has succeeded in dissuading people from using drugsC. has been effective only to a certain degreeD. has proved to be a total failure22. The film "Reefer Madness" mentioned in the passage_________A. effectively deterred marijuana useB. was rejected by young marijuana useC. did not picture the danger of marijuana realisticallyD. was welcomed by marijuana users because it told them how to gel high23. The message "all drugs are terrible for you" is not influential because_________A. it ignores the fact that drugs vary greatly in dangerB. it gives a false account of the risks of drug useC. some drugs are good for healthD. it does not appear in underground papers24. According to the passage, which of the following statements is NOT true?A. Even balanced and reasonable antidrug persuasion is influential only. to some people.B. Most drug users are ignorant of the danger of drugsC. Punishments such as loss of driver's license do not seem to be an- effective way to stop drunken driving.D. Primary prevenlion is a useful principle to be followed in antidrug educalion25. The best title for the passage would be________A. Are All Drugs Terrible for Y ou?B. Do People Believe What Underground Papers Say?C. Is There an Increased A wareness of the Risks of Drugs?D. Can Persuasion Reduce Drug Abuse?Questions 26 to 30 are based on the following passage.The inhabitants of the earth are divided not only by race, nation, religion or ideology, but also, in a sense, by their position in time. Examining-the present population of I he globe,we find a tiny group who still live, hunting and food-foraging, as men did millennia ago. Others, the vast majority of mankind, depend no I on bear-hunting or berry-picking , but on agriculture. They live, in many respects, as their ancestors did centuries ago. These two groups taken together compose perhaps 70 percent of all living human beings. They are people of the past.By contrast, somewhat more than 25 percent of the earth's population can be found in the industrialized societies. They lead modern lives. They are products of the first half ofthe twentieth century, molded by mechanization and mass education, brought up with lingering memories of their own country's agricultural past. They are, in effect, the peopleof the present.The remaining 2 or 3 percent of the world's population, however, are no longer peopleof either the past or the present. For within the main canters of technological and cultural change, in Santa Monica, California and Can-, bridge, Massachusetts, in New Y ork and London, and Tokyo, are millions of men and women who can already be said to be livingthe way of life of I he future. Trend makers often without being aware of it, they live today as millions will live tomorrow. And while they account for only a few percent of I lie global population today, they already form an international nation of the future in our midst. They are the advance agents of man, the earliest citizens of the world-wide super-industrial society now in the throes of birth.What makes them different from the rest of mankind? Certainly, they are richer, better educated, more mobile than the majority of I he human race. They also live longer. Butwhat specifically marks the people of the future is the fact that they are already caught upin a new, stepped-up pace of life. They "live faster" than the people around them.26. The main argument in this pa$ sage is that________A. a small percentage of the world's population is already "living in I he future"B. the majority should say what the future will be likeC. the new "pace of life" is actually nothing newD. however we live, we I must all face an increased pace of life27. According to the writer, 70% of all humans_______A. live by hunting bears or picking berriesB. still tend to live in small groupsC. are engaged in agriculture, or depend on natural food supplies in natureD. lead lives totally differ enl from their ancestors28. The "people of (he present", in I he writer's u6e of the words, are I hose who_______A. rely on their country's agricultural pastB. spend their time examining different racesC. have been shaped by industrialization and mass educationD. are constantly trying to change life as they see it29. From what the writer says, "tread makers" are people who________A. live in large cities all over the worldB. dream about the FutureC. set I he pattern of life for the futureD. make changes in culture and technology30. The most important point about the " 2 or 3 percent" is that theyA. have a better educationB. travel far and wide and generally live longerC. are trapped by their environ men ID. enjoy a faster pace of lifeQuestions 31 to 35 are based. on the following passage.One of the most authoritative voices speaking to us today is, of course, the voice of the advertisers. Its strident clamor dominates our lives. It shouts at us from the televisionscreen and the radio loudspeakers; waves to us from every page of the newspaper;plucks at our sleeves on the I escalator; signals to us from the roadside billboards al} dayand flashes messages to us in colored lights all night. It has forced on us a whole new conception of the successful man as a man no less than 20% of whose mail consists of announcements o{ giant carpet sales.Advertising has been among England's biggest growth industries since the war, interms of the ratio of money earnings to demonstrable achievement. Why all this fantastic expenditure?Perhaps the answer is that advertising saves the manufacturers from having to thinkabout the customer. At the stage of designing and developing a product, there is quiteenough to thin I ( about without worrying over whether anybody will want to buy it. The designer is busy enough without adding customer-appeal to all his other problems ofman-hours and machine tolerances and stress factors. So they just go ahead and ma}< ethe thing and leave it lo the advertiser to find eleven ways of making it appeal topurchasers afi1er they have finished it, by pretending that it confers status, or attracts love,or signifies manliness. If the advertising agency can do this authoritatively enough, the manufacturer is in c} over.Other manufacturers find advertising saves them changing their product. And manufacturers hate change. The ideal product is one which goes on unchanged for ever.If, therefore, for one reason or another, some alteration seems called for - how muchbetter to change the image, the packet or the pitch made by product, rather than go to allthe inconvenience of changing the product itself.31 . According to the passage modern advertising is "authoritative" because of I he way it_______A. influences our image of the kind person we ought to be likeB. interferes with the privacy of home lifeC. continually forces us into buying thingsD. distracts us no matter where we travel32. The form of advertising which has best succeeded in conferring personal status on the individual makes use of_______A. colored lights all nightB. roadside billboardsC. the postal serviceD. the wall space beside escalators33. Advertisers are appreciated by manufacturers because they_______A. advise them on ways of giving a product customer-appeal LB. accept responsibility for giving a product customer-appealC. advise them on the best time to go ahead with productionsD. consult them during the design and development stages34. According to the passage customers are attracted to a product because it appearsTo__________A. have a sufficiently attractive designB. offer good value for moneyC. fulfill the manufacturer's claimsD. satisfy their personal needs5. The passage tells us that some manufacturers, instead of changing their product,would prefer-to change its________.A. product costB. qualityC. appealD. market valuePart: III CloseDirections: There is a passage in this part with 1.0 blanks in it.

I have kept a record of informal conversations 36 some 300 students frorl1at least twenty-one colleges and universities. The students were generally frank and directin their comments 37 how course work could be better presented. Most of the{ r remarks were kindly 38 -with tolerance rather than bitterness-and frequently were softened by the 39 that the students were speaking about some, not all, instructors. Nevertheless, as the following suggestions and comments indicate, students feel 40with things-as-I hey-are in the classroom.Professors should be discouraged from reading lecture notes.

They do all kinds of things that you do not even notice. For example, the simple, ordinary food that everybody must buy, like bread, milk, flour, and vegetable oil, is spread all over the store. You have to walk by all the moreinteresting-and more expensive-things in order to find what you need. The more expensive food is in packages with bright colored pictures. This food is placed at eye level so you see it and want to buy it. The things that you have to buy anyway are usually located on a higher or lower shelf. However, candy and other things that children like are on lower shelves. One study showed that when a supermarket moved four products from floor to eye level, it sold 78 percent more. Another study showed that for every minute a person is in a supermarket after the first half hour, she or he spends $50. If someone stays forty minutes, the supermarket has an additional $5.00. So the store has a comfortable temperature in summer and winter, and it plays soft music. It is a pleasant place for people to stay and spend more money. Some stores have red or pink lights over the meat so the meat looks redder. They put light green paper around lettuce (生菜) and put apples in red plastic bags. So be careful in the supermarket. You may go home with a bag of food you were not planning to buy. The supermarket, not you, decided you should buy it.46．Marketing specialists study______.A．plants suitable for human needsB．how to build shelvesC．method of selling more productsD．how to own supermarkets正确答案：C47．The more expensive kind of food is______.A．in bright-coloured packagesB．on high shelvesC．all near the front of the storeD．on lower shelves正确答案：A48．According to the selecting, children’s books are probably______.A．on low shelvesB．on high shelvesC．spread all over the storeD．sold in supermarket正确答案：A49．A supermarket plays soft music because______.A．people like to listen to itB．the store has a comfortable temperatureC．it will make people spend more moneyD．it will remind people to buy the things they want正确答案：C50．A good way to save money in a supermarket is to______.A．go just before dinnerB．buy things that are in the prettiest packagesC．walk around and see what you needD．make a list of what you need before you go正确答案：DAlthough each baby has an individual schedule of development, general patterns of growth have been observed. Three periods of development have been identified (确定) , including early infancy (幼儿期) , which extends from the first to the sixth month; middle infancy, from the sixth to the ninth month; and late infancy, from the ninth to the fifteenth month. Whereas the newborn is concerned with his or her inner world and reacts primarily to hunger and pain in early infancy, the baby is already aware of the surrounding world. During the second month, many infants are awake more and can raise their heads to look at things. They also begin to smile at people. By four months, the baby is searching for things but not yet grasping them with its hands. It is also beginning to be wary(谨慎的) of strangers and may scream when a visiting relative tries to pick it up. By five months, the baby is grabbing objects and putting them into its mouth. Some babies are trying to feed themselves with their hands. In middle infancy, the baby concentrates on practicing a great many speech sounds. It loves to imitate actions and examine interesting objects. At about seven months, it begins to crawl, a skill that it masters at the end of middle infancy. In late infancy, the baby takes an interest in games, songs, and even books. Progress toward walking moves through standing, balancing, bouncing in place, and walking with others.

After high school, he worked as a newspaper reporter and then went oversea to take part in World War I. After the war he lived for several years in Paris, where he became part of a group of Americans who felt strange from their country. They considered themselves a lost generation. It was not long before he began to publish the powerful novel “The Sun Also Rises”. His subjects were often war and its effects on people, or contests, such as hunting or bullfighting, which demand stamina and courage. Hemingway’s style of writing is striking. His sentences are short, his words simple, yet they are often filled with emotion. A careful reading can show us, furthermore, that he is a master of the pause. That is, if we look closely, we see how the action of his stories continues during the silences, during the times his characters say nothing. This action is often full of meaning. There are times when the most powerful effect comes from restraint (适度). Such times occur often in Hemingway’s fiction. Heperfected the art of expressing emotion with few words.56．The word “stamina” in the last line of paragraph 1 can most probably be replaced by______.A．moneyB．timeC．energyD．weapon正确答案：C57．Hemingway might have two kinds of special qualities—courage and endurance—because______.A．he trained himself through hard work in his childhoodB．he got some special trainings while growing upC．his parents often took him on hunting and fishing tripsD．he suffered a lot in his childhood正确答案：C58．The topic sentence of paragraph 2 is______.A．Hemingway’s style of writing is strikingB．He is a master of the pauseC．He perfected the art of expressing emotion with few wordsD．Hemingway is a famous writer正确答案：A59．“A lost generation” in the first paragraph is closest in meaning to______.A．a generation full of hopeB．the sad and confused young menC．a big crowd of young menD．a group of people who have lost their way正确答案：B60．Hemingway preferred short and simple sentences in his writings because______.A．he could not arrange long and complicated sentences wellB．he was afraid that his readers would misunderstand him if he wrote long sentencesC．short sentences are easier to writeD．this is his style of writing he is good at正确答案：DTrees have a spectacular (壮丽的；奇观的) survival record. Over a period of more than 400 million years, they have evolved as the tallest, most massive, and longest-lived organisms ever to inhabit the Earth. Yet trees lack a means of defense that almost every animal has: trees cannot move away from destructive forces. Because they cannot move, all types of living and nonliving enemies—fire, storms, microorganisms, insects, other animals and, later, humans—have wounded them throughout their history. Trees have survived because their evolution has made them into highly compartmented (分隔的) organisms: that is, they wall off injured and infected wood. In that respect trees are radically different from animals. Fundamentally, animals heal, they preserve their life by making billions of repair, installing (安置) new cells or rejuvenated (恢复活力的) cells in the positions of old ones. Trees cannot heal; they make no repairs. Instead, they defend themselves from the consequences of injury and infection by walling off the damage. At the same time they put new cells in new positions; in effect, they grow a new tree over the old one every year. The most obvious results of the process are growth rings, which are visible on the cross section of a trunk, a root, or a branch.61．The author’s main purpose in this article is to explain the______.A．life cycle of a treeB．way trees surviveC．importance of trees to human progressD．dangers trees face from natural disasters正确答案：B62．The author describes trees as all of the following EXCEPT______.A．tallB．greenC．massiveD．long-lived正确答案：B63．The author implies that almost every animal is able to protect itself from destructive forces by doing which of the following?A．Moving away.B．Calling for help.C．Climbing up a tree.D．Remaining with its group.正确答案：A64．As it is used in the last sentence of Paragraph 1 , the pronoun “they” refers to______.A．enemiesB．animalsC．humansD．trees正确答案：D65．According to the context of the passage, you can guess the meaning of the verb “evolve” is______.A．(of people or animals) reach the stage of full developmentB．breed (farm animals) ; grow or produce (crops)C．(of plants, animals, etc. ) gradually develop from a simple form to a more complex oneD．(cause somebody /something) to grow gradually正确答案：CSection ADirections: Translate the following English into Chinese.66．We need not wish for what we don’t have, but enjoy what we do possess today.正确答案：我们无需渴求得不到的东西，而应珍惜今天已经拥有的。

That is almost l out of every 3 people in the United States. Some people go on diets. This means they eat less of certain foods, especially fats and sugars. Other people exercise with special equipment, take diet pills, or even have surgery. Losing weight is hard work, and it can also cost a lot of money. So why do so many people in the United States want to lose weight?Many people in the United States worry about not looking young and attractive. For many people, looking good also means being thin. Other people worry about their health. Many doctors say being overweight is not healthy. But are Americans really fat?Almost 30 million Americans weigh at least 20 percent more than their ideal weight. In fact, the United States is the most overweight country in the world. "The stored fat of adult Americans weighs 2.3 trillion pounds," says University of Massachusetts anthropologist(人类学家) George Americans.

One of them was from my school days, when our ninth grade teacher, Miss Raber, would pick out words from Readers Digest to test our vocabulary.Today, more than 45 years later, I always check out "It pays to Enrich Your Word Power" first when the Digest comes each month. I am impressed with that idea, word power. Readers Digest knows the power that words have to move people to entertain, inform and inspire. The Digest editors know that the big word isn't always the best word. Take just one example, a Quotable Quote from the February 1985 issue: "Time is a playful thing. It slips quickly and drinks the day like a bowl of milk. "Seventeen words, only two of them more than one syllable, yet how much they convey ! That's usually how it is with Reader s Digest. The small and simple can be profound.As chairman of a foundation to restore the Statue of Liberty, I've been making a lot of speeches lately. I try to keep them fairly short. I use small but vivid words: words like "hoe" , "guts", "faith" and "dreams". Those are words that move people and say so much about the spirit of America.Don't get me wrong. I'm not against using big words, when it is right to do so, but I have also learned that a small word can work a small miracle-if it's the right word, in the right place, at the right time. It's a"secret" that I hope I will never forget.16. The passage is mainly about ____.A. one of the many old memoriesB. using simple words to express profound ideasC. Readers Digest and school speechesD. how to make effective speeches17. It seems that Reader's Digest is a magazine popular with ____.A. people of all agesB. teenagersC. school teachersD. elderly readers18. The example the author gives in the second paragraph might mean ____.A. one spends his day playing and drinkingB. don't waste your time as one doesC. time slips easily if you don't make good use of itD. time is just like drinking milk from a bowl19. The author's "secret" is ____.A. to avoid using big words at any timeB. to use words that have the power to move peopleC. to work a miracle by using a small wordD. to use small and simple words where possible20. According to the author, well-chosen words can give people ____.A. hope, courage, and ideasB. confidence, determination, and strengthC. pleasure, knowledge, and encouragementD. entertainment, information, and powerPart Ⅱ Vocabulary and Structure(20﹪，25minutes)Directions: There are 40 incomplete sentences in this part.

Reading Comprehension ( 60 points )Directions: There are four passages in this part. Each passage is followed by somequestions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choicesmarked A, B, C and D, you should decide the best choice.Passage 1When we say that Cambridge is a university town we do not mean that it is a town with a university in it. A university town is one where there is no clear separation between the university buildings and the rest of the city. The university is not just one part of the town; it is all over the town. The heart of Cambridge has its shops, restaurants, market place and so on, but most of it is university—colleges, libraries, clubs and other places for university staff and students.The town was there first. Cambridge became a center of learning in the thirteenth century. Many students were too poor to afford lodgings. Colleges were opened so that studentscould live cheaply. This was the beginning of the present day college system.Today there are nearly thirty colleges. Very few students can now live in college for the whole of their course; the numbers are too great. Many of them live in lodgings at first and move into college for their final year. But every student is a member of his college from the beginning. He must eat a number of meals in the college hall each week.Students are not allowed to keep cars in Cambridge, so nearly all of them use bicycles. Don’t try to drive through Cambridge during the five mi nutes between lectures, as you will find crowds of people on bicycles hurrying in all directions. If you are in Cambridge at five minutes to the hour any morning of the term, you’ll know that you in a university town. Stop in some safe place, and wait.31. Cambridge can be described as a university town because .A. the university building fit in well with the rest of the townB. the size of Cambridge is just as big as the townC. the separating line between the university and the town is not obviousD. the university is located in the town.32. In the first paragraph “but most of it is university”, “it” refers to.A. the rest of the cityB. the townC. the heart of CambridgeD. the university33. Which of the following can best give the main idea of the second paragraph?A. Cambridge has a long history.B. Many students lacked money, so colleges were set up them.C. The town was built before the university.D. It was cheaper for students to live in college than in lodgings.34. It is possible for the college students to .A.live in college from the beginningB.keep both bikes and cars in collegeC.have all the meals outside the college each weekD.live in college for their final year of the course.35. People found it hard to drive through Cambridge at five minutes to the hour in themorning because of .A.the large numbers of cars in the streetsB.safety checks for the cars at this timeC.streams of bikes going in all directionsD.the speed limit of the carPassage 2If you want stay young, sit down and have a good think. This is the research finding of a team of Japanese doctors, who say that most our brains are not getting enough exercises—and as a result, we are ageing unnecessarily soon.Professor Taiju Matsuzaws wanted to fine out why otherwise healthy farmers in northern Japan appeared to be losing their ability to think and reason at a relatively early age, and how the process of ageing could be slowed down.With a team a colleague at Tokyo National University, he set about measuring brain volumes of a thousand people of different ages and varying occupations.“Computer technology enabled the researchers to obtain precise measurements of the volume of the front and side sections of the brain, which relate to intellect（智能）and emotion, and determine the human character.” The rear section of the brain, which controls functions like eating and breathing, does not contract with age, and one can continue living without intellectual or emotional facilities.Contraction of front and side parts—as cells die of—was observed in some subjects in their thirties, but it was still not evident in some sixty-and seventy-year-olds.Matsuzawa concluded from his tests that there is a simple remedy to the contraction normally associated with age—using the head.The findings show in general terms that contraction of the brain begins sooner in people in the country than in the towns. Those least at risk, says Matsuzawa, are lawyers, followed by university professors and doctors. White collar workers doing routine work in government offices are, however, as likely to have shrinking brains as the farm workers, bus drivers and shop assistants.Matsuzawa’s findings show that thinking can prevent the brain from shrinking. Blood must circulate properly in the head to supply the fresh oxygen the brain cells need. “The best way to maintain good blood circulations is through using the brain,” he says, “Think hard and engage in conversation. Don’t rely on pocket calculators.”36. The team of doctors wanted to find out .A.how to make people live longerB.the size of certain people’s brainsC.which people are most intelligentD.why certain people age sooner than others37. On what are their research findings based?A. A survey of farmers in northern Japan.B.The study of brain volumes of different people.C.Tests performed on a thousand old people.D.The latest development of computer technology.38. The doctor’s tests show that.A.our brains shrink we grow olderB.the front section of the brain does not shrinkC.sixty-year-olds have better brains than thirty-year-oldsD.some people’s brains have contracted more than other people’s39. The word “subjects” in the sentence of paragraph 5 “Contraction of front and sideparts—as cells die off—was observed in some subjects in their thirties, but it wasstill not evident in some sixty-and seventy-year-olds.” means.A.something to be consideredB.branches of knowledge studiedC.any member of a state except the supreme rulerD.persons chosen to be studied in an experiment40. According to the passage, which people seem to age slower than the others?A.Shop assistants, lawyers, and professor.B.Farmers, doctors and clerks.C.Clerks, professor and farmers.wyers, professor and doctPassage 3When we turn on a tap to get water, or press a switch to get electricity, we do not think of all the pipes and wires which bring these main services to our homes.The water is brought from the waterworks to each street by a large underground pipe—a water main. The water in this pipe is then forced by pressure into the smaller pipes which carry it to storage tanks at the tops of the buildings. Other pipes bring the water down from the storage tank to the kitchens and bathrooms in the building.When the water has been used, it is taken away from the building by drainpipes. These take the waste water to another large pipe under the road—the main sewer. The waste water then flows along the sewer to the sewage works where it is cleaned. This “clean” water is then poured into the sea or into a river, or in some countries, sent back to the waterworks to be used again.Electricity is also brought to the house by a main, in this case a cable. This cable may be underground or, in country districts, it may hang above ground on pylons. The cable is connected to a meter in the building. This meter measures the amount of electricity that is used in the building. Near the meter there is a master switch which can cut off the supply of electricity. There are also fuse boxes between the master switch which can cut off the supply of electricity. There are also fuse boxes between the master switch and the wires which take the electricity to each of the switches in the building. All these wires, fuses and switches are the “wiring circuit.”41. It can be inferred from this passage that .A.water and electricity are the only main services in our homesB.the pipes bringing water to our homes are unimportantC.water is less significant than electricity in our homesD.we are unaware of how water or electricity is brought to our homes42. We call water, electricity and sewer .A. wiring circuitB. pipes, cables and drainsC. main servicesD. underground services43. How is clean water brought to our homes?A.Through pipes from the sewage works.B.Through underground main pipes.C.Through pipes from storage tanks.D.Through small pipes under the road.44. What happens to the waste water?A.It is kept in a large storage tank.B.It flows away through drains to a sewer.C.It flows away through a water main.D.It is returned to the waterworks.45. Between a main cable and the master switch in our homes is .A.a light switchB.a pylonC. a fuse boxD.a meterPassage 4How men first learned to invent words is unknown; in other words, the origin of language is a mystery. All we really know is that men, unlike animals, invented certain sounds to express thoughts and feelings, actions and things, so that they could communicate with each other, and later they agreed on certain signs. These signs were called letters, which could be combined to represent those sounds and could be written down. Those sounds, whether spoken or written in letters, are called words.The power of words, then, exists in their associations—the things they bring up before our minds. Words become filled with meaning for us by experience, and the longer we live, the more certain words remind us of the glad and sad events of our past, and the more we read and learn, the more number of words increases.Great writers are those who not only have great thoughts but also express these thoughts in words, which deeply attract our minds and emotions. This skilful use of words is called “literary style”. Above all, a real poet can express his meaning in words, which sing like music and can move men to tears. We should, therefore, learn to choose our words carefully and use them properly, or they will make our speech silly and vulgar.46. The origin of language is .A.treasure handed down from the pastB. a matter that is hidden or secretC. a problem not yet solvedD. a question difficult to answer47. One of the reasons why men invented certain sounds to express thoughts andactions was that .A.they could write them downB.they could agree on certain signsC.they could communicate with each otherD.they could combine them48. Which of the following is true about words?A.They can not be used correctly by most peopleB.They are used to express feelings only.C.They are simply sounds and can be written down.D.They cannot be used to express thoughts.49. The real power of words exists in their .A.convenienceB.propertiesC.inventionD.representative function50.In expressing their thoughts, great poets are able to .A.move us to actionB.move men to tearsC.move us to succeedD.move men to fightPart III.

You should choosethe ONE answer that best fits into the passage.Many teachers believe that the responsibilities for learning lie with student. 51 along reading assignment is given, instructors expect students to be familiar with the 52 in the reading even if they do not discuss it in class or take an examination. The 53 student is considered to be 54 who is motivated to learn for the sake of 55 , not the one interested only in getting high a grades.

It is the 60 responsibility to find books, magazines, and articles in the library. Professors do not have the time to explain 61 a university library works; they expect students, 62 graduate students ,to be able to exhaust the reference 63 in the library. Professors will help students who need it, but 64 that their students not be 65 dependent on them.

If you hired someone to do household work and you were able to control what they did and how they didit, you had a household employee; this is true even if you gave theemployee freedom for action. What matters is that you had the rightto control the details of how the work was done. For example, you paid Betty Oak to babysit£¨ÁÙʱÕÕ¿´º¢×Ó£©your child and do light homework 4days a weak in your home. Betty followed your specific instructions about household and child care duties. You provided the household equipment and supplies Betty needed to do her work. Betty is your household employee.Household work is done in or around your home. Some examples of workers who do household work are: babysitters, caretakers, cleaning people, drivers, health aides£¨ÖúÊÖ£©, housekeepers, private nurses, yard workers.If a worker is your employee, it does not matter whether the work is full or part time or whether you hired the worker through an agency or from a list provided by an agency or association. Also, it does not matter if the wages paid are for work done hourly, daily, weekly, or by the job.Cash wages include wages paid by checks, money orders, etc. Cash wages do not include value of food, lodging, clothing, or other non-cash items you give a household employee.46. A household employee is someone ______.A) to do work at home and outside itB) you ask for advice about houseworkC) who works in an employment officeD) who is in charge of all families in a community47. Some of the household work mentioned in the passage include_____.A) driving, health consultation, and housekeepingB) babysitting, caretaking, and cleaningC) typing, caretaking, and office workD) private nursing and door keeping48.

For years scientists have asked themselves this question. Does laughter help us to survive in any way? The answer seems to be like this: smiling and laughter help us relax, reducing tension(½ôÕÅ) and preventing illnesses which are caused by stress. Laughter really is the best medicine!But if you are unhappy, it cannot do you any good to smile, can it? Not true. Obviously, the positive effects of smiling are just the same whether you feel like smiling or not. Scientists in California asked a group of actors to act five different feelings: happiness, sadness, anger, surprise and fear just using their faces. Changes in their heart rate, blood pressure and temperature were written down. Most of the feelings they acted did not cause changes, but when the actors smiled their heart rate and their blood pressure went down. So even if we feel sad inside, smiling seems to make us feel better.A sense of humor also helps to keep things on their positive side. Interfering friends or a flat tire (ÂÖ̥©Æø) won¡¯t seem so bad if you can see the funny side. So if you find yourself in a stressful situation, try to imagine how it must seem to an outside with a sense of humor and let yourself laugh it off. A scientist writes: ¡°If you try to show a positive reaction and start to laugh, you will actually become happier.¡±51. According to the writer, laughter and smiling_______.A) protect human beings from heart attacksB) are the main cause for man to live longC) can help people to feel relaxedD) help people to keep good relations52.Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage £¿_______.A) A sense of humor is essential for one to gain successB) Stress may be relieved by smiling even if you are actingC) Laughing is the best way to overcome difficultiesD) Sadness can be covered up by laughter and smiles53. The study of the scientist in California is to find out _________.A) the relations between different human feelingsB) the connection between one¡¯s feeling and actingC) whether other animals can laugh and smileD) whether laughter and smile can be good to man¡¯s health54. The scientist discovered that ________.A) laughter and smiles did help the actors to feel relaxedB) most actors acted well according to his instructionsC) the actors¡¯ feelings reflected what they really feltD) different feelings have different effects on the actors55. The writer tends to suggest that we should ________.A) face difficulties with great courageB) find out the positive side of thingsC) overcome our sad feeling with a smileD) learn to have a sense of humorYang Cai is now in his sixth job after graduation. He is a computer programmer in a German company in Nanchang.The job also marks the latest of several moves he has made in the last four years. In that period, he has worked in several cities including Nanchang, Wuhan, and now Nanchang.His first job, also his longest, was for a State-owned enterprise producing communication products and lasted one year. His last job, also his shortest, was in designing web pages and lasted three months. ¡°I am not the most frequent changer of jobs in this industry,¡± Yang said. ¡°Working in IT (information technology) companies, I have become accustomed to welcoming new colleagues today and to seeing them off the next month.¡±¡°I have always been in a turbulent (¶¯µ´µÄ) situation, and no job gives me a feeling of stability,¡±In sharp contrast with Yang, Wendy, a lawyer in the Nanchang branch of a Beijing-based big law firm, dared not ask for a half a day¡¯s leave to go hospital when she was suffering from a serious cold and cough. ¡°The boss warns us to work 24 hours a day and you would be mad to ask for leave for illness¡± said Wendy. So she would work until midnight and give herself medicine she bought to work.¡°It¡¯s not easy to get a suitable position nowadays.

They also fail to realize that actually, workers aged 45-60 tend to be more stable, more skillful and more experienced than workers of any other ages, that, to some extent, this age is the prime time for one¡¯s productivity and creativity. To force them to retire is a huge waste of the nation¡¯s best resources. On the contrary, if we turn our attention to the other end of the range of ages, a more effective way might appear.
