When we asked viewers to (11) theirown chances of being involved in some type of violence during any given week, they provide (12) that television can induce fear and alertness: the heavy viewers were (13) percent more likely than the light viewers to pick such fearful estimates as 50-50 or one in 10, (14) a more plausible one in 100.We have found that violence on prime-time (15) cultivates exaggerated assumptions about the (16) in the real world. Fear is a universal emotion, and naturally, easy to (17).

So what else is new? But in Japan that familiar aversion has reached alarming proportions. About 50,000 unhappy youngsters a year (out of a total school-age population of 20 million) suffer what Japanese behavioral experts call school phobia. School phobia is distinguished from other common childhood and adolescent psychological and emotional disorders by the patient’s reaction to, and fear of, the idea of going to school.Typically, it begins with fever, sweating, headaches, and diarrhoea; it often progresses to complete physical inertia, depression, and even autism.A doctor on a house call found a thirteen-year-old Tokyo boy who had not been to school in more than a year. He lives in a darkened room, receiving his food through a slot under the door and lashing out violently at his parents if they came too close. Once the boy was placed in a psychiatric ward treatment, he again became an open, seemingly healthy youngster. When he was sent home, however, his symptoms returned, and he was never able to go back to school.School phobia can be cured, usually with tranquilizers and psychotherapy. Rehabilitation takes about two years. Yet victims who are put in clinics or mental wards often prefer to stay there. Their day is filled with activities like knitting, painting, music, free time, and sports. Nurses try to create a familiar environment in which the children can feel that they are taking a certain amount of responsibility for their lives and can find some sense of self-worth.The causes of school phobia are not precisely known. In a few severe cases brain disorders have been diagnosed. A more common factor may be the overprotective Japanese mother who, some psychiatrists say, leaves her children ill-prepared to face the real world. Many researchers point to the unrelenting pressures for success faced by both children and adults in Japan, where stress-related disorders of all sorts are common. In addition, the Japanese educational system is one of the world’s most rigid, suppressing a child’s individual creative and analytical development. Says Dr. Hitoshi Ishikawa, head of the department of psychosomatic medicine at Tokyo University, “The problem won’t be cured until Japanese society as a whole is cured of its deep-rooted social ills.”1. The author chooses to write about school phobia because .(A)it is something new in Japan.(B)Most children have developed the disease(C)Its symptoms are not easily perceptible(D)A n alarming proportion of Japanese children suffer from it2. Which of the following is the purpose of the second paragraph?(A)To show that school phobia can be cured.(B)To suggest a way to deal with school phobia.(C)To describe the cause of school phobia.(D)T o present a typical case of school phobia.3. According to the passage, which of the following statements is true?(A)School phobia, which is widespread in many countries, is no cause foralarm.(B)The problem of school phobia in Japan can not be solved unless it getsrid of its social evils.(C)Despite school phobia the Japanese educational system remains on ofthe best in the world.(D)U nrelenting pressures in the Japanese society contribute greatly tosuccess.4. From the last paragraph, we know that the causes of school phobia .(A)can be easily determined(B)are complex and manifold(C)lie exclusively in the Japanese educational system(D)o riginate from the Japanese way of bringing up children5. Th e world “unrelenting” in the last paragraph is closest in meaning to .(A) unreasoning (B) continuous(C) limitless (D) unpleasantQuestions 6~10I left hospital in a taxi on the tenth day with Octavia in my arms and Lydia by my side. I was excited at the thought of getting home and having my baby to myself, but the cold of the outside air must have startled her, for she began to scream and screech violently in the taxi, and when we got home I did not quite know what to do. In hospital she had always been so quiet and sweet. I laid her down in her basket, but the mattress was a different shape from the hospital cot, and she looked strange and uncomfortable and screamed all the more fiercely. She looked odd, too, in her own Viyella nighties, after the regulation garments she had worn all her life until that afternoon. She went on and on crying, and I began to think that she would never adapt to real life. Lydia was getting almost as worried as I was, and after a while she said, as we both sate miserably and watched this small furious person, “Why don’t you feed her? That would shut her up, wouldn’t it?”I looked at my watch; it was half past four.“It’s not time to feed her yet,” I said. “In hospital, we had to feed them on the dot at five.”“Oh,” said Lydia, “half an hour one way or the other can’t make much difference.”“Don’t you think so?” I said. “But then she’ll wake half an hour early at thenext feed, and the next, and the next, and then what will I do?”“It wouldn’t matter, would it?”“I don’t know. I somehow feel thins would get all muddled and never get straight again. She was good and reasonable in hospital. And then she’ll get confused, and how will she ever know when it’s night time? How will she ever learn that it’s night?”“I should feed her,” said Lydia. “It looks to me as though she’s going to have a fit.”I didn’t think she would have a fit, but I couldn’t stand the sound of her crying, so I picked her out and fed her, and she became quiet at once, and fell asleep afterwards looking as though her mattress and nightdress were very comfortable after all. On the other hand, she did wake half an hour early at the next feed, and went on and on waking earlier, until we worked right back round the clock, for the truth was that she never went four hours but only three and a half. Looking back on it, it doesn’t seem to matter at all, but it seemed very important at the time. I remember. It took her ages, moreover, to learn about night and day, and in the end I concluded that they and been giving her secret bottles in the night at the hospital.However, on the whole, things worked out very well. I had a subsidized home help to begin with, and after a fortnight or so this woman whom Lydia had discovered, an amiable fat lady named Mrs Jennings, came in two days a week while dashed off to the library between feeds. Mrs Jennings adored babies, and I found that all her chat little darling tiny things, and where’s here little tootsie, fell quite naturally and indeed gratefully upon my ears.6. Octavia looked odd to her mother because .(A)the Viyella nighties were newly bought(B)her nightie was the wrong size(C)her clothes weren’t her usual ones(D)t he mattress was bigger than the one in the cot7. Why did Lydia suggest feeding the baby?(A)She found it was almost feeding time.(B)She obviously didn’t like the noise.(C)She could see Octavia was hungry.(D)S he believed it was better to feed her more.8. The mother didn’t want to feed the crying baby because the thought .(A)it was too early to feed her(B)the baby wanted to be fed at five(C)the baby couldn’t be hungry at the moment(D)i t would stop the baby sleeping at night9. The mother believed that in the hospital .(A)they had told her all the truth(B)they had confused the baby(C)the baby had been underfed at night(D)t here were things she hadn’t been told10. We learn from the passage that Mrs. Jennings .(A)first came in on a fortnight’s trial(B)helped the author with the baby(C)was found by Lydia in the library(D)w as not qualified for baby-sittingQuestions 11~15When the television is good, nothing—not the theatre, not the magazines, or newspapers—nothing is better. But when television is bad, nothing is worse. In invite you to sit down it front of your television set when your station goes on the air and stay there without a book, magazine, newspaper, or anything else to distract you and keep your eyes glued to that set until the station signs off. I can assure you that you will observe a vast wasteland. You will see a procession of game shows, violence, audience-participation shows, formula comedies about totally unbelievable families, blood and thunder, mayhem, more violence, sadism, murder, Western badmen, Western goodmen, private eyes, gangster, still more violence, and cartoons. And endlessly, commercials that scream and cajole and offend. And most of all, boredom. True, you will see a few things you will enjoy. But they will be very, very few. And if you think I exaggerate, try it.Is there no room on television to teach, to inform, to uplift, to stretch, to enlarge the capacities of our children? Is there no room for programs to deepen the children understatanding of children in other lands? Is there no room for a children’s news show explaining something about the world for them at their level of understanding？Is there no room of reading the great literature of the past, teaching them the great traditions of freedom?There are some fine children’s shows, but they are drowned out in the massive doses of cartoons, violence, and more violence. Must these be your trademarks? Search your conscience and see whether you cannot offer more to your young beneficiaries whose future you guard so many hours each and every day.There are many people in this great country, and you must serve all of us. You will get no argument from me if you say that, given a choice between a Western and a symphony, more people will watch the Western. I like Westerns and private eyes, too—but a steady diet for the whole country is obviously not in the public interest. We all know that people would more often prefer to be entertained than stimulated or informed. But your obligations are not satisfied if you look only to popularity as a test of what to broadcast. You are not only in show business; you are free to communicate ideas as well as to give relaxation. You must provide a wider range of choices, more diversity, more alternatives. It is not enough to cater to the nation’s whims—you must also serve the nation’s needs. The people own the air. They own it as much in prime evening time as they do at six o’clock in the morning. For every hour that the people give you—you owe them something. I intend to see that your debt is paid with service.11. The word “wasteland” (para.1) is used to describe .(A) western badlands (B) average television programs(C) TV film studios (D) theatrical plays12.C oncerning programs for children, it may be inferred that the authorbelieves that suchprograms should .(A) include no cartoons at all(B) include cultural and educational elements(C) be presented without commercial interruption(D) not deal with the Old West13. The statement “The people own the air.” (para. 4) implies .(A)Since they pay for watching television, they have a right to choose theirfavorite programs(B)They want to enjoy fresh air, because the air in the TV studio is polluted(C)They have the right to insist on worthwhile TV programs(D)They are obliged to air their views on public affairs14. Which of the following is NOT suggested in the passage(A)The needs of minorities must be met by television.(B)TV programs should be not only entertaining but also informative.(C)Violence is not a good ingredient for children’s television show.(D)C hildren’s television programs are uniformly terrible.15. The passage is most probably part of .(A) a scientific report (B) a newspaper editorial(C) a public speech (D) an academic paperQuestions 16~20With rapid growth identified as the most pressing of global population problems, the scene shifts immediately to villages in rural Kenya or urban slums in Karaas or bedrooms in Sedale where couples are making decisions about their reproductive behavior. Unlike other global issues which can be shaped directly by the actions of national and international power brokers, resolution of the problems posed by the magnitude and pace of contemporary population growth in the world ultimately depends upon the actions and behavior of a very large number of individual actors. Rapid population growth is the direct result of regular decistions made in private by literally many millions of persons throughout the world.Hence, we are all actors in the population drama. Each of us has the potential to aggravate the problem of rapid growth just as each of us can change the distribution of populations simply by moving. Population trends therefore represent nothing more than the combined decisions of many individuals, couples, and families. And, because these decisions are shaped and conditioned by commonly held values, goals, and aspirations, there are patterns to them and the actors appear to follow the broad outlines of a script.It is then evident that efforts to decrease the rate of population growth must eventually influence the decisions and behavior of many millions of couples if they are to be successful. Values and attitudes—the script that guides this behavior—must be a altered. To be even more specific, it means that couples, overwhelmingly poor and predominantly rural, in Africa, Asia, and Latin America where population growth is so high, must choose to limit the number of their children to fewer than three and must have the means to accomplish their goal. Similarly, couples in Europe, North America, and other low-fertility regions must continue to maintain their present patterns of having small families. Each couple must stick to its decision for some twenty to thirty years, or throughout their reproductive life span. In the economically less-developed world, this decision will be one that stands in stark contrast to those made by their parents and to the weight of cultural tradition.16. It can be concluded from the passage that .(A)large families may be considered as a heavy burden by the rural poor(B)the actions of national and international power brokers have animportant effect upon the decision made by the rural poor(C)the actions of those with the highest fertility, the rural poor, ultimatelydetermine the rate of population growth(D)h aving large families had more advantages than disadvantages in thosepoor areas17. The word “aggravate” (para 2) is closest in meaning to “”.(A) make clear (B) encounter(C) settle (D) make serious18. According to the author, the most effective way to decrease the rate ofpopulation growth is .(A)by making it a national policy that each couple must not give birth tomore than three children(B)by exerting more international pressure upon those high-fertility regions(C)by modifying the widely held values which guide the actions of manyindividuals and couples(D)b y providing the rural poor with means for limiting the family size19. It is obvious that the author of the passage .(A)shows indifference to the situation in the developed countries(B)is very concerned about global population problems(C)feels confident that the problem of population growth can be soonresolved(D)i s pessimistic about the future of those high-fertility20. The author has written the passage mainly for .(A) general readers (B) power brokers(C) economists (D) decision makersQuestions 21~25Sixty percent of all ethnic minorities in Britain live in London. Ethnic minorities only make up a small fraction of Britain’s population as a whole, but coming to London you could quite easily be mistaken for thinking there were many more. I have taken this for granted having grown up with this fantastic diversity of culture, background and influence. I have people all around me who talk with varying accents, speak different languages, share distinct foods and celebrate special festivals. However, London is far from being without its racial problems.The Campaign Against Racism and Fascism (CARF), a London based group, tells me that there is little doubt that, with the massive upsurge of xenophobia against asylum-seekers too, the fallout is affecting anyone perceived to be foreign or different. Recent attacks on black people have a ferocity that appalls police and community organizers a like. On March 4th this year, a 19-year-old Sudanese student, unconcernedly chatting to his white friend on a bus traveling through Wardsworth in south London, was suddenly stabbed in the stomach three times by a white youth brandishing a knife.Police investigations on this and other racist attacks have left many doubting the police’s supposed commitment to tackling r acial crime. Some say it has all been talk about target indicators with few results on the ground. But on March 24th this year, the Met. Police’s Racial and Violent Crimes T ask Force, drawing on the slow, painstaking intelligence on racial harassment gathered by their 32 Community Safety Units, carried out its first large-scale operation. In dawn raids on homes in all over London, one hundred people were arrested for offenses including racially aggravated criminal damage, grievous bodily harm,distributing racist literature and threats to kill. Over thirty people have been charged with racial offenses.Every year on our August public holiday, London, especially Notting Hill, comes alive for the Carnival. This celebration of variety, difference and the end of slavery—where I have seen people of all backgrounds, mixing, laughing and dancing together—is, I hope, the future of inter-racial relations in London. 20.The word “this” in “I have taken this for granted” (para. 1) refers to which ofthe following?(A) Sixty percent of all ethnic minorities in UK live in London.(B) Minorities only constitute a small part of UK’s population.(C) There are more minority people in Britain than it appears.(E)It is unwise for many more to come to London.21. The killing of the Sudanese student is to illustrate .(A)the brutality of attacks on black people(B)the fallout affecting anyone in poverty(C)the traffic problems in south London(D)t he unconcerned attitude of police23. The word “xenophobia” (para. 2) means “.”(A) partiality (B) arbitariness(C) discrimination (D) antipathy24. The word “intelligence” (para. 3) is closest in meaning to “.”(A) mentality (B) aptitude(C) information (D) interpretation25. What is the main topic of this passage?(A)The increasing rate of crime in London.。

You may take notes while you are listening.(1)(2)SECTION 2: STUDY SKILLS (50 minutes) Directions: In this section, you will read several passages. Each passage is followed by several questions based on its content. You are to choose ONE best answer, (A), (B),(C) or (D), to each question. Answer all the questions following each passage on the basis of what is stated or implied in that passage and write the letter of the answer you have chosen in the corresponding space in your ANSWER BOOKLET.Questions 1~5In some rural agricultural societies, the collection of available fuel such as firewood, dung cake, and agricultural waste can take 200 to 300 person-days per year. As well as being time consuming, the typical patterns of collection lead to deforestation, soil erosion, andecological imbalances. In the future, experts predict that even if food supplies are adequate for rural populations, fuel supplies for domestic use may not be.In the light of such considerations, a team in India has developed a solar oven for home use. The oven is cheaply constructed, easily operated, and extremely energy efficient. The device consists of an inner and outer metal box, a top cover, and two panes of plain glass. The inner box is painted black to absorb maximum solar radiation. The space between the two boxes is filled with an insulating material, such as rice husks, which are easily available and which, because of their high silicon content, neither attract insects nor rot easily. Other easily available materials for insulation are ground nutshells or coconut shells. An adjustable mirror mounted on one side of the oven box reflects the sunlight into the interior,boosting the temperatures by 15-30 degrees Celsius. This is most useful during the winter when the sun is lower. Inside the oven, a temperature between 80 and 120 degrees Celsius above ambient temperature can be maintained. This is sufficient to cook food gradually but surely. Trials have shown that all typical food dishes can be prepared in this solar device without loss of taste or nutrition.1.This passage is mainly about .(A)deforestation in the rural agriculturalsocieties(B)use of rice husks as an insulation material(C)design and use of a solar oven(D)maintenance of temperature in a solaroven2. All of the following are mentioned as sources of energy of rural agricultural societies EXCEPT .(A) firewood (B) dung cake(C) solar power (D) agricultural waste3.The word “domestic”(paragraph 1) is closest in meaning to .(A) industrial (B) agricultural (C) natural (D) household4. According to the passage, the use of an adjustable mirror increases the oven temperature by .(A) 80-120 degrees Celsius (B) at least 80 degrees Celsius(C) up to 30 degrees Celsius (D) up to 15 degrees Celsius5.According to the passage, the adjustable mirror is most useful .(A) at midday (B) when it is cold(C) When firewood is lacking (D) in improving taste and nutritionQuestions 6~10There must be few questions on which responsible opinion is so utterly divided as on that of how much sleep we ought to have. There are some who think we can leave body to regulate these matters for itself. “The answer is easy,” says Dr.. A. Burton. “With the right amount of sleep you should wake up fresh and alert five minutes before the alarm rings.” If he is right many people must be under sleeping, including myself. But we must remember that some people have a grater inertia than others. This is not meant rudely. They switch on slowly, and they are reluctant to switch off. They are alert at bedtime and sleepy when it is time to get up, and this many have nothing to do with how fatigued their bodies are, or how much sleep they must take to lose their fatigue. Other people feel sure that the present trendis towards too little sleep. To quote one medical opinion, “Thousands of people drift throughlife suffering from the effects of too little sleep; the reason is not that can’t sleep. Li ke advancing colonists, we do seem to be grasping ever more of the land of sleep for our waking needs, pushing the boundary back and reaching, apparently, for a point in our evolution where we will sleep no more. This in itself, of course, need not be a bad thing. What could be disastrous, however, is that we should press to quickly towards this goal, sacrificing sleep only to gain more time in which to jeopardize our civilization by actions and decisions made weak by fatigue.”Then, to complete the picture, there are those who believe that more people are persuaded to sleep too much. Dr H. Roberts, writing in Every Man in, asserts: “It may safely be stated that, just as the majority eat too much, so themajority sleep too much.” One can see the point of this also. It would be a pity to retard our development by holding back those people who are gifted enough to work and play well less than the average amount of sleep, if indeed it does them no harm. If one of the trends of evolutions is that more of the life span is to be spent in gainful waking activity, then surely these people are in the van of this advance.6.The author seems to indicate that .(A)there are many controversial issues likethe right amount of sleep(B)among many issues the right amount ofsleep is the least controversial(C)the right amount of sleep is topic of muchcontroversy among doctors(D)people are now moving towards solvingmany controversial issues concerning sleep 7.According to the author, sleepinghabits .(A)are related to the amount of sleep(B)are inherited from the parents(C)vary from person to person(D)would not change in one’s lifetime8.The world “jeopardize” (paragraph 2) is closest in meaning to .(A) endeavor (B) endanger(C) endorse (D) endow9.

We learn from the passage that the author .(A)revises someone else’s opinion(B)explains an opinion of his own(C)favors one of the three opinions(D)comments on three different opinions Questions 11~15She looked in the pockets of the black leather jacket he had reluctantly worn the night before. Three of his suits, a pair of blue twill work pants, an old gray sweater with a hood and pockets lay thrown across the bed. The jacket leather was sleazy and damply clinging to her hands. She had bought it for him, as well as the three suits: one light blue with side vents, one gold with green specks, and one reddish that had a silver imitation-silk vest. The pockets of the jacket came softly outward from the lining like skinny milk toast rats. Empty. Slowly she sank down on the bed and began to knead, with blunt anxious fingers, all the pockets in all the clothes piled around her. First the blue suit, then the gold with green, then the reddish one that he said he didn’t like most of all, but whichhe would sometimes wear if she agreed to stay home, or if she promised not to touch anywhere at all while he was getting dressed.She was a big awkward woman, with big bones and hard rubbery flesh. Her short arms ended in ham hands, and her neck was a squat roll of fat that protruded behind her head as a big bump. Her skin was rough and puffy, with plump mole like freckles down her cheeks. Her eyes glowered from under the mountain of her brow and were circled with expensive mauve shadow. They were nervous and quick when she was flustered and darted about at nothing in particular while she was dressing hair or talking to people.H er troubles started noticeably when she fell in love with a studiously quiet schoolteacher, Mr. Jerome Franklin Washington III, who was ten years younger than her. She told herself that she shouldn’t want him, he was so littleand cute and young, but when she took into account that he was a schoolteacher, well, she just couldn’t seem to get any rest until, as she put it, “I were Mr. And Mrs. Jerome Franklin W ashington the third, and that’s the truth!”11.

According to the passage, which of the following can be concluded form the passage about this couple?(A)They will live happily ever after.(B)Their marriage is not harmonious.(C)The couple will adopt children.(D)They will become schoolteachers.Questions 16~20An anthropologist recorded the expenses for ceremonies he attended in a village in Thailand.The following chart provides information on the baths (Thai currency) spent for a wedding.

(A) the provision of food (B) the giving of gifts(C) the payment of a bride price(D) the provision of entertainmentQuestions 21~25Computer people talk a lot about the needfor other people to become “computer-literate”, in other words, to learn to understand computers and what makes them tick. Not all experts agree, however, that this is a good idea. One pioneer, in particular, who disagrees is David Tebbutt, the founder of Computertown UK. Although many people see this as a successful attempt to bring people closer to the computer, David does not see it that way. He says that Computertown UK was formed for just the opposite reason, to bring computers tothe people and make them “people-literate”. David first got the idea when he visited one of America’s best-known computer “guru”figure, Bob Albrecht, in the small university town of Palo Alto in Northern California. Albrecht has started a project called Computertown USA in the local library, and the local children used to call round every Wednesday to borrow some time on the computers there, instead of borrowing library books. Albrecht was always on hand to answer any questions and to help the children discover about computers in their own way.Over here, in Britain, Computertowns have taken off in a big way, and there are now about 40 scattered over the country. David Tebbutt thinks they are most successful when tied to a computer club. He insists there is a vast and important difference between the two, although they complement each other. The clubs caterfor the enthusiasts, with some computer knowledge already, who get together and eventually form an expert computer group. This frightens away non-experts, who are happier going to Computertowns where there are computers available for them to experiment on, with experts available to encourage them and answer any questions; they are not told what to do, they find out.David Tebbutt finds it in teresting to see the two different approaches working side by side. The computer experts have to learn not to tell people about computers, but have to be able to explain the answers to the questions that people really want to know. In some Computertowns there are question sessions, rather like radio phone-ins, where the experts listen to a lot of questions and then try to work out some structure to answer them. People are not having to learnComputer jargons, but the experts are having to translate computer mysteries into easily understood terms; the computers are becoming “people-literate”.21. According to David Tebbutt, the purpose of Computertown UK is .(A)to train people to understand howcomputers work(B)to make more computers available topeople(C)to enable more people to fix computersthemselves(D)to help people find out more aboutcomputers22. We learn from the passage that Computertown USA is located in . (A) the university town (B) the project center(C) the local library (D) the elementary school23. The phrase “take off”(paragraph 4) means .(A) transfer to another vessel (B) cause to lose weight(C) begin to develop markedly (D) cause to leave the ground24. According to the passage, which of the following statements is NOT true?(A)Computertowns in the UK have becomepopular.(B)Computertowns and clubs cater fordifferent people.(C)Computertowns are more successfulthan clubs.(D)Computertowns and clubs complementeach other.Questions 26~30Natural selection is the way nature chooses which organisms survive. Chance mutationsoccur in response to chemicals of certain energy in the electromagnetic spectrum. If the mutant is better adapted to the environment, it thrives. If not, it dies out or becomes rare.Humans have used artificial selection to reproduce plants and animals with desirable characteristics. Many of these domesticated plants and animals can no longer survive in the wild. Their survival depends on the maintenance of an artificial environment and the desires of people.People select certain desired traits such as color, beauty, or scent (as in roses). Other traits which are bred artificially include uniqueness (as in the neck plumage of the prized Jacobin pigeon), size (as in miniature horses), meat quality or milk yield (as in cattle), or resistance to disease (as in fungus-resistant tomatoes). The traits usually selected for convenience, pleasure, or financial gain of individuals. In this way,humans act as agents of evolution through artificial selection.Individual specimens with the desired traits are crossbred. The hybrid offspring are then inbred to preserve and fix the desirable characteristics and eliminate unfavorable characteristicsFrom the stock.A pure breed is formed when there is not any mixture of other genes over many generations. The American Kennel Club recognizes 121 breeds of purebred dogs. When ancestors of a pure breed are known and registered by a breed club, the dog is said to have a pedigree.26. Some people argue that it would do moreharm than good for plants and animals todevelop through artificial selection. Whichstatement best supports this argument?(A)Roses no longer smell like roses.(B)Purebred dogs are disappearing.(C)Humans are harmful agents of plantand animal evolution.(D)Many domesticated plants and animalscan no longer survive in the wild.27. The author cites the dog as an example ofartificial selection because of all thefollowing statements EXCEPTthat .(A)Dogs are domestic animals(B)The dog is one of nature’s survivors(C)Breeders register dogs to obtain apedigree(D)Humans have been the primary agentsin dog evolution28. Which of the following is NOT mentioned as the result of artificial selection by humanity?(A)Many new kinds of plants and animalsare produced.(B)Financial gain is increased considerablyby producing better plants and animals.(C)Humans are able to control plant andanimal reproduction for humans’ pleasure.(D)It is necessary for humans to maintainthe artificial environments.29. Breeding the hybrid offspring to fix desirable traits is called .(A) naturally selecting (B) inbreeding(C) pedigree breeding (D) pure-breeding30. A farmer imported several fine long woolTomney sheep from Australia to breedwith his Debouittet sheep in hopes ofincreasing the value of the floc k’s wool.This is an example of .(A) pure-breeding (B) crossbreeding(C) reproducing (D) cloningSECTION 3: TRANSLATION TEST (1) (30 minutes)Directions: Translate the following passage into Chinese and write your version in the corresponding space in your ANSWER BOOKLET.Both language and culture are learned by children without special organized programs of instruction, but motivation to learn is very high since language is the most effective means for a child to obtain what he or she wants. If the learning of a new language begins before lower adolescence, one is likely to be able to speak such a language with complete naturalness, but if learned after upper adolescence some hangover of a mother-tongue feature is very likely to persist. But not only do languages exhibit such learning patterns, but so do cultural traits, for example, shaking hands, kissing, and embracing.Although many persons assume that languages exist in dictionaries and grammars, in fact they only exist in people’s heads. But this is equally true of cultural traits, which indicate clearly a they only exist in people’s heads. But this is equally true of cultural traits, which indicate clearly a person’s value system when crucial decisions need to be made before there is any time to think about alternatives, for example, diving into a flooding stream to rescue a drowning child.SECTION 4: TRANSLATION TEST (2) (30 minutes)Directions: Translate the following passage into English and write and write your version in the corresponding space in your ANSWER BOOKLET.中国政府在宣布实行和平统一的方针时，是基于一个前提，即当时的台湾当局坚持世界上只有一个中国、台湾是中国的一部分。

Questions 1~5In some rural agricultural societies, the collection of available fuel such as firewood, dung cake, and agricultural waste can take 200 to 300 person-days per year. As well as being time consuming, the typical patterns of collection lead to deforestation, soil erosion, and ecological imbalances. In the future, experts predict that even if food supplies are adequate for rural populations, fuel supplies for domestic use may not be. In the light of such considerations, a team in India has developed a solar oven for home use. The oven is cheaply constructed, easily operated, and extremely energy efficient. The device consists of an inner and outer metal box, a top cover, and two panes of plain glass. The inner box is painted black to absorb maximum solar radiation. The space between the two boxes is filled with an insulating material, such as rice husks, which are easily available and which, because of their high silicon content, neither attract insects nor rot easily. Other easily available materials for insulation are ground nutshells or coconut shells. An adjustable mirror mounted on one side of the oven box reflects the sunlight into the interior, boosting the temperatures by 15-30 degrees Celsius. This is most useful during the winter when the sun is lower. Inside the oven, a temperature between 80 and 120 degrees Celsius above ambient temperature can be maintained. This is sufficient to cook food gradually but surely. Trials have shown that all typical food dishes can be prepared in this solar device without loss of taste or nutrition.1.This passage is mainly about .(A) deforestation in the rural agricultural societies(B) use of rice husks as an insulation material(C) design and use of a solar oven(D) maintenance of temperature in a solar oven2. All of the following are mentioned as sources of energy of rural agricultural societies EXCEPT .(A) firewood (B) dung cake(C) solar power (D) agricultural waste3.The word “domestic”(paragraph 1) is closest in meaning to .(A) industrial (B) agricultural(C) natural (D) household4. According to the passage, the use of an adjustable mirror increases the oven temperature by .(A) 80-120 degrees Celsius (B) at least 80 degrees Celsius(C) up to 30 degrees Celsius (D) up to 15 degrees Celsius5.According to the passage, the adjustable mirror is most useful .(A) at midday (B) when it is cold(C) When firewood is lacking (D) in improving taste and nutritionQuestions 6~10There must be few questions on which responsible opinion is so utterly divided as on that of how much sleep we ought to have. There are some who think we can leave body to regulate these matters for itself. “The answer is easy,” says Dr.. A. Burton. “With the right amount of sleep you should wake up fresh and alert five minutes before the alarm rings.” If he is right many people must be under sleeping, including myself. But we must remember that some people have a grater inertia than others. This is not meant rudely. They switch on slowly, and they are reluctant to switch off. They are alert at bedtime and sleepy when it is time to get up, and this many have nothing to do with how fatigued their bodies are, or how much sleep they must take to lose their fatigue.Other people feel sure that the present trend is towards too little sleep. To quoteone medical opinion, “Thousands of people drift through life suffering from the effects of too little sleep; the reason is not that can’t sleep. Like advancing colonists, we do seem to be grasping ever more of the land of sleep for our waking needs, pushing the boundary back and reaching, apparently, for a point in our evolution where we will sleep no more. This in itself, of course, need not be a bad thing. What could be disastrous, however, is that we should press to quickly towards this goal, sacrificing sleep only to gain more time in which to jeopardize our civilization by actions and decisions made weak by fatigue.”Then, to complete the picture, there are those who believe that more people are persuaded to sleep too much. Dr H. Roberts, writing in Every Man in, asserts: “It may safely be stated that, just as the majority eat too much, so the majority sleep too much.” One can see the point of this also. It would be a pity to retard our development by holding back those people who are gifted enough to work and play well less than the average amount of sleep, if indeed it does them no harm. If one of the trends of evolutions is that more of the life span is to be spent in gainful waking activity, then surely these people are in the van of this advance.6.The author seems to indicate that .(A) there are many controversial issues like the right amount of sleep(B) among many issues the right amount of sleep is the least controversial(C) the right amount of sleep is topic of much controversy among doctors(D) people are now moving towards solving many controversial issues concerning sleep7.According to the author, sleeping habits .(A) are related to the amount of sleep(B) are inherited from the parents(C) vary from person to person(D) would not change in one’s lifetime8.The world “jeopardize” (paragraph 2) is closest in meaning to .(A) endeavor (B) endanger(C) endorse (D) endow9.

Three of his suits, a pair of blue twill work pants, an old gray sweater with a hood and pockets lay thrown across the bed. The jacket leather was sleazy and damply clinging to her hands. She had bought it for him, as well as the three suits: one light blue with side vents, one gold with green specks, and one reddish that had a silver imitation-silk vest.

Her short arms ended in ham hands, and her neck was a squat roll of fat that protruded behind her head as a big bump. Her skin was rough and puffy, with plump mole like freckles down her cheeks. Her eyes glowered from under the mountain of her brow and were circled with expensive mauve shadow. They were nervous and quick when she was flustered and darted about at nothing in particular while she was dressing hair or talking to people.Her troubles started noticeably when she fell in love with a studiously quiet schoolteacher, Mr. Jerome Franklin Washington III, who was ten years younger than her. She told herself that she shouldn’t want him, he was so little and cute and young, but when she took into account that he was a schoolteacher, well, she just couldn’t seem to get any rest until, as she put it, “I were Mr. And Mrs. Jerome Franklin Washington the third, and that’s the truth!”11.

Not all experts agree, however, that this is a good idea.One pioneer, in particular, who disagrees is David Tebbutt, the founder of Computertown UK. Although many people see this as a successful attempt to bring people closer to the computer, David does not see it that way. He says that Computertown UK was formed for just the opposite reason, to bring computers to the people and make them “people-literate”.David f irst got the idea when he visited one of America’s best-known computer “guru”figure, Bob Albrecht, in the small university town of Palo Alto in Northern California. Albrecht has started a project called Computertown USA in the local library, and the local children used to call round every Wednesday to borrow some time on the computers there, instead of borrowing library books. Albrecht was always on hand to answer any questions and to help the children discover about computers in their own way.Over here, in Britain, Computertowns have taken off in a big way, and there are now about 40 scattered over the country. David Tebbutt thinks they are most successful when tied to a computer club. He insists there is a vast and important difference between the two, although they complement each other. The clubs cater for the enthusiasts, with some computer knowledge already, who get together and eventually form an expert computer group. This frightens away non-experts, who are happier going to Computertowns where there are computers available for them to experiment on, with experts available to encourage them and answer any questions; they are not told what to do, they find out.David Tebbutt finds it in teresting to see the two different approaches working side by side. The computer experts have to learn not to tell people about computers, but have to be able to explain the answers to the questions that people really want to know. In some Computertowns there are question sessions, rather like radio phone-ins, where the experts listen to a lot of questions and then try to work out some structure to answer them. People are not having to learn Computer jargons, but the experts are having to translate computer mysteries into easily10understood terms; the computers are becoming “people-literate”.21. According to David Tebbutt, the purpose of Computertown UK is .(A)to train people to understand how computers work(B)to make more computers available to people(C)to enable more people to fix computers themselves(D)to help people find out more about computers22. We learn from the passage that Computertown USA is located in .(A) the university town (B) the project center(C) the local library (D) the elementary school23. The phrase “take off”(paragraph 4) means .(A) transfer to another vessel (B) cause to lose weight(C) begin to develop markedly (D) cause to leave the ground24. According to the passage, which of the following statements is NOT true?(A)Computertowns in the UK have become popular.(B)Computertowns and clubs cater for different people.(C)Computertowns are more successful than clubs.(D)Computertowns and clubs complement each other.Questions 26~30Natural selection is the way nature chooses which organisms survive. Chance mutations occur in response to chemicals of certain energy in the electromagnetic spectrum. If the mutant is better adapted to the environment, it thrives. If not, it dies out or becomes rare.Humans have used artificial selection to reproduce plants and animals with desirable characteristics. Many of these domesticated plants and animals can no longer survive in the wild. Their survival depends on the maintenance of an artificial environment and the desires of people.People select certain desired traits such as color, beauty, or scent (as in roses). Other traits which are bred artificially include uniqueness (as in the neck plumage of the prized Jacobin pigeon), size (as in miniature horses), meat quality or milk yield (as in cattle), or resistance to disease (as in fungus-resistant tomatoes). The traits usually selected for convenience, pleasure, or financial gain of individuals. In this way, humans act as agents of evolution through artificial selection.Individual specimens with the desired traits are crossbred. The hybrid offspring are then inbred to preserve and fix the desirable characteristics and eliminate unfavorable characteristics From the stock.A pure breed is formed when there is not any mixture of other genes over many generations. The American Kennel Club recognizes 121 breeds of purebred dogs. When ancestors of a pure breed are known and registered by a breed club, the dog is said to have a pedigree.26. Some people argue that it would do more harm than good for plants and animals to developthrough artificial selection. Which statement best supports this argument?(A)Roses no longer smell like roses.(B)Purebred dogs are disappearing.(C)Humans are harmful agents of plant and animal evolution.(D)Many domesticated plants and animals can no longer survive in the wild.27. The author cites the dog as an example of artificial selection because of all the followingstatements EXCEPT that .(A)Dogs are domestic animals(B)The dog is one of nature’s survivors(C)Breeders register dogs to obtain a pedigree(D)Humans have been the primary agents in dog evolution28. Which of the following is NOT mentioned as the result of artificial selection by humanity?(A)Many new kinds of plants and animals are produced.(B)Financial gain is increased considerably by producing better plants and animals.(C)Humans are able to control plant and animal reproduction for humans’ pleasure.(D)It is necessary for humans to maintain the artificial environments.29. Breeding the hybrid offspring to fix desirable traits is called .(A) naturally selecting (B) inbreeding(C) pedigree breeding (D) pure-breeding30. A farmer imported several fine long wool Tomney sheep from Australia to breed with hisDebouittet sheep in hopes of increasing the value of the flock’s wool. This is an example of .(A) pure-breeding (B) crossbreeding(C) reproducing (D) cloningSECTION 3: TRANSLATION TEST (1) (30 minutes)Directions: Translate the following passage into Chinese and write your version in the corresponding space in your ANSWER BOOKLET.Both language and culture are learned by children without special organized programs of instruction, but motivation to learn is very high since language is the most effective means for a child to obtain what he or she wants. If the learning of a new language begins before lower adolescence, one is likely to be able to speak such a language with complete naturalness, but if learned after upper adolescence some hangover of a mother-tongue feature is very likely to persist. But not only do languages exhibit such learning patterns, but so do cultural traits, for example, shaking hands, kissing, and embracing.Although many persons assume that languages exist in dictionaries and grammars, in fact they only exist in people’s heads. But this is equally true of cultural traits, which indicate clearly a they only exist in people’s heads. But this is equally true of cultural traits, which indicate clearly a person’s value system when crucial decisions need to be made before there is any time to think about alternatives, for example, diving into a flooding stream to rescue a drowning child.。
