I think thirty dollars per month is no small amount of money for a student.To be honest, I don’t need to use a cell phone because I don’t have any urgent business, but all my family and friends have cell phones. More than fifty percent of the population in Korea（韩国）has a cell phone. Think about that number: only children and very old people don’t have one.If I didn’t have a cell phone, everybody would raise such a question, “Why doesn’t she have one?” I would be considered as a strange and independent person. Korea has agroup-oriented culture, so a strange and independent p erson isn’t welcome. I don’t want to be strange, so I cannot do anything but use a cell phone.I have to check my cell phone all the time, and I have to change the battery every other day. It is kind of a big problem. Even though I don’t want to answer the phone at all, I have to answer it because as long as I have a cell phone, a quick answer is etiquette（礼节）. It has really invaded（影响）my life. I have never thought cell phones are useful and meaningful devices. I hate them because I am a person who likes to lead a peaceful, calm life. I wish I could get rid of my cell phone in the near future.Directions: Choose the best answer from the four choices.6.

The doctor asked for a pen and some paper to write down the name of the medicine, but there was no pen or paper in the village, because no one could read or write.The doctor picked up a piece of burnt wood from the fire.

Overhead bridges are used in very much the same way as zebra crossings. They are more efficient although less convenient because people have to climb up a long flight of steps. This is inconvenient especially to older people. When pedestrians use an overhead bridge, they do not hold up traffic. However, when they cross a busy road using a zebra crossing, traffic is held up. This is why the government has built many overhead bridges to help pedestrians and to keep traffic moving at the same time.The government of Singapore has spent large sums of money building these bridges. For their own safety pedestrians should be encouraged to use them instead of risking their lives bydashing across the road. Old people, however, may find it a little difficult climbing up and down the steps, but it is still much safer than walking across the road with all the danger of moving traffic.Overhead bridges serve a very useful purpose. Pedestrians, both old and young, should make it a habit to use them. This will prevent unnecessary accidents and loss of life.26. What is the advantage of overhead bridges mentioned in this passage?A. Taller vehicle can pass under them.B. Pedestrians can climb up and have a view of the city.C. They don’t hold up traffic and are safer for pedestrians.D. They are easier and more convenient for the pedestrians.27. Why were overhead bridges built in Singapore by its government?A. Because they do not hold up traffic.B. Because they provide an easy way for the drivers to cross the road.C. Because they save money for the government.D. Because they save time for the pedestrians.28. Which of the following is true according to this passage?A. Overhead bridges are found in places where traffic is heavy.B. Overhead bridges are found in every part of Singapore.C. Overhead bridges are found in many parts of the big cities in the world.D. Overhead bridges are only found in the capital Singapore.29. The expression “zebra crossings” in paragraph 2 means ____________.A. a safe place where pedestrians use to walk across a roadB. a big animal covered with alternating black and white stripes in AfricaC. a safe place where zebras walk aroundD. a safe place across a road for children to play a game30. What is the writer’s attitude towards overhead bridges?A. It is inconvenient to older people to walk across the road.B. It is much safer though a little difficult climbing up and down the steps for pedestrians.C. Overhead bridges are more beautiful than zebra crossingsD. To build overhead bridges is the order of the government.Passage ThreeCars are an important part of life in the United States. Without a car most people feel that they are poor. An even if a person is poor he doesn’t feel really poor when he has a car.Henry Ford was the man who fi rst started making cars in large numbers. He probably didn’t know how much the car was going to affect American culture. The car made the Unite States a nation on wheels. And it helped make the United States what it is today.There are three main reasons the car became so popular in the United States. First of all, the country is a huge one and Americans like to move around in it. The car provides the most comfortable and cheapest form of transportation. With a car people can go any place without spending a lot of money.The second reason cars are popular is the fact that the United States never really developed an efficient and inexpensive form of public transportation. Long-distance trains have never been as common in the United States as they are in other parts of the world. Nowadays, there is a good system of air-service provided by planes. But it is too expensive to be used frequently.The third reason is the most important one, though. The American spirit of independence is what really made cars popular. Americans don’t like to wait for a bus or a train or even a plane.They don’t like to have to follow an exact schedule. A car gives them the freedom to schedule their own time. And this is the freedom that Americans want most to have.The gas shortage has caused a big problem for Americans. But the answer will not be a bigger system of public transportation. The real solution will have to be a new kind of car, one that does not use so much gas.31. When do most Americans feel they are poor?A. When th ey don’t have a car.B. When they live in a huge country.C. When they don’t use planes.D. When they have a car.32. Why do cars become popular in the United States?A. The United States is huge.B. Public transportation is not so good.C. Americans like to be independent.D. Americans like to move around.33. What public transportation is good in the United States?A. Buses.B. Trains.C. Taxis.D. Planes.34. What has caused a big problem for Americans?A. A new kind of car.B. Public transportation.C. The gas shortage.D. Poor people.35. Which of the following is not mentioned according to this passage?A. Cars have made the nation on wheels.B. Cars have made the United States have a gas shortage.C. Nearly 80% of the American people have cars.D. Cars have made American independent.Passage FourOne of the favorite baseball players in the United States during the 1930’s was Leo Frangio. He was born and raised in New York City. As a boy, he was often in trouble with school authorities. He and his friends used to stay away from school to play baseball.He dropped out of high school to begin playing professional ball. In 1931, as a rookie (新手) with the New York Canaries, Leo hit 38 home runs (本垒打). For the next five years he hit 40 to 45 home runs a year. In 1936 he had his best year, hitting 54 home runs with a 365 batting average.Leo was a hero to people everywhere, but it was the children that he felt closest to. He frequently visited hospitals to talk with sick children. He never got married so he always spent Christmas day with children who didn’t have any parents. The children liked him as much as Santa Claus.In 1937 Leo had a bad year. After he hit 52 home runs again in 1938, the Canaries decided to trade him. Talks were being held with the Blue Birds an the Robins when Leo said that he was going to retire. He said he would never play for a team other than the Canaries.After leaving baseball Leo had several different jobs. First he had a job as PR (public relations) man for a sporting goods company. He didn’t enjoy the work, though, and he quit after one year. Then he tried working as a sports writer. Since he was not such a good writer, however, he soon gave that up, too.Finally in 1940, he began working as a radio announcer for baseball games. He became very popular because he made the game sound so exciting. During the next fifteen years he added much to the language of baseball. But as TV became more and more popular Leo decided to quit announcing. He moved back to New York where he is still active in teaching children to play baseball.36. Which team did Leo play for?A. The Canaries.B. The Robins.C. The Orioles.D. The Blue Birds.37. When was Leo’s best year as a player?A. 1938.B. 1936.C. 1931.D. 1937.38. What job did Leo have the longest?A. Playing baseball.B. Working as a PR man.C. Announcing on the radio.D. Working as a sports writer.39. Why did Leo quit announcing?A. Because he was going to be traded.B. Because he became a sports writer.C. Because he went back to New York.D. Because TV became popular.40. Why did Leo Frangio become popular as a radio announcer?A. He was a very good baseball player.B. He made the game sound exciting.C. He made the game win.D.

A),B),C)or D).You should make the correct choice and markthe corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet with a single line through thecentre.Nowadays,cities are becoming more and more densely populated.Some pessimists are deeply worried about the serious problems posed by the huge populations.They believe that the public services are already overloaded and near the verge of collapse.Especially in some developing countries,the metropolis are overcrowded all the time.Thronged streets, stuffed buses and jammed subways continuously batter people's lives.Some optimists, however,see the current problems as merely part of an evolutionary process.They arguethat London and New York had similar problems but were able eventually to establish an orderly and safe environment for their citizens.It seems that people become the controversial factor here.Either they themselves as inhabitants cause inconvenience toeach other,or they participate together in city developing plans and contribute effortsto facilitate city life.Human elements are therefore the core for determining the futureof big cities.51.According to the passage,____________poses the most serious problem.A)pollutionB)noiseC)populationD)traffic jam52.If the pessimists are to give examples,____________serves as the best one.A)TokyoB)SingaporeC)Mexico CityD)Sydney53."Controversial"has the similar

the work they do.D)Each group does a different job or set of jobs.E)People working in some of the departments may never see the finished toy they have helped to make.F)Because of this specialisation,one person can't make a complete toy by himself.56.()57.()58.()59.()60.()Task3Directions:Read the given passage carefully.Then answer the questions following it in as few words as possible,that is,no more than10words.Remember to writeyour answers in the corresponding space(61through65)on the Answer Sheet.The ideal(理想)culture is the culture that the members of a society think they have;the real culture is the culture they actually have.In all societies there is a differencebetween the two.If an American citizen were asked to tell a visitor from a foreign land something

Each passage is followed by five questions. For each of them, there are four choices marked A), B), C), and D). You are required to go over the passages quickly and decide on the best choice and write the corresponding letter on Answer Sheet. Passage OneQuestions 41to 45 are based on the following passage:As you walk along the street in any American city, you see many different faces. You see oriental faces, black faces, and white faces. These are the faces of the United States, a country of immigrants from all over the world. Immigrants are people who leave one country to live permanently in another country.The first immigrants came to North America in the 1600s from northern European countries such as England and Holland. These people generally had light skin and light hair. They came to live in North America because they wanted religious freedom. In the 1700s and early 1800s immigrants continued to move from Europe to the United States. At this time there was one group of unwilling immigrants, black Africans. These people were tricked or forced to come to the United States, where they worked onthe large farms in the south. The blacks had no freedom; they were slaves. In the 1800s many Chinese and Irish immigrants came to the United States. They came because of economic or political problems in their countries. The most recent immigrants to the United States, the Indochinese, Cubans, and Central Americans also came because of economic or political problems in their own countries. Except for the blacks, most of these immigrants thought of the United States as a land of opportunity, of a chance for freedom and new lives.In the United States, these immigrants looked for help from other immigrants who shared the same background, language, and religion. Therefore, there are neighborhoods in each U. S. city made up almost entirely of one ethnic or racial group. There are all Italian, all Puerto Rican, or all Irish neighborhoods in many East Coast cities and all Mexican neighborhoods in the Southwest.In Dearborn, Michigan, there is a large group of Lebanese. There are racial neighborhoods such as oriental Chinatown in San Francisco and black Harlem in New York. There are also neighborhoods with a strong religious feeling such as a Jewish part of Brooklyn in New York. And, of course, there are economic neighborhood divisions; in American cities very often poor people do not live in the same neighborhoods as rich people.This wide variety of neighborhoods in the cities is a reflection of the different groups in American society. American society is a mixture of racial, language, cultural, religious, and economic groups. People sometimes call America a melting pot and compare its society to a soup with many different ingredients. The ingredients (different races, cultures, religions, and economic groups) supposedly mix together to make a smooth soup. But, in reality, there are a few lumps left in the soup.41.The earliest immigrants came to North America because____.A)they wanted to have freedom in their religious beliefsB)they were poor people in their own countriesC)they wanted to work on the large farms in the U.S.D)they were tired of the political problems in their own countries42.The black Africans came to the United States because___.a)they wanted to gain political freedomb)they thought of the United States as a land of opportunityc)they wanted to live a new lifed)they were tricked or forced to go there43.One of the reasons why immigrants to the U.S. formed racial neighborhoods is that they___.A) had the same problems B) shared the same political viewsC) worked in the same places D) spoke the same language44.Jewish immigrants to the U.S. are most likely to be found in ___.A) Dearborn, Michigan B) Chinatown, San FranciscoC) Brooklyn, New York D) Harlem, New York45.The sentence “there are a few lumps left in the soup” implies that___.a)some immigrants are poor; some are richb)the immigrants didn’t get along with their neighborsc)different ethnic groups have kept their separate identitiesd)people of different cultures enjoy their life in the U.S.Passage TwoQuestions 46 to 50 are based on the following passage:Some desert animals can survive the summer heat and dryness because they are very unusual. The camel, for example,can experience and bear an increase in the temperature of its body and its blood of 9oC without anything bad happening to it. In addition, it can drink a lot of water at one time; then store enough water in parts of its body to supply its needs for two weeks or more. The kangaroo rat, on the other hand, gets all the water it needs from water that it produces when it breathes. However, most animals need to maintain a fairly constant body temperature, and will die if it rises more than 5oC. Therefore, they need to find some way to stay away from the heat of the summer sun. Nor can many animals either store or produce water in their bodies, as the camel and kangaroo rat can. So they must find ways to keep their bodies from losing water because of the heat. Because very few desert animals can survive the high temperature of a typical summer’s day, most of them are active only in the night. Only after the sun has set does the desert come fully to life. The night is relatively cool, and the darkness provides protection, not only from the sun, but also from other animals and from the birds. So the coming of darkness is the signal for the large majority of animals and insects to start again their search for water and food. When morning comes, most of them seek shelter again: many go underground; nearly all find some dark and cool place where they can keep away from the sun’s heat.For many species of insects, living in the desert is easier than for animals. Like many desert plants, they have a waterproof skin which prevents water loss because of the high temperature. In addition, some species spend all or most of life below ground. Here, for most of the year at least, there is some moisture, and it is generally cooler than on the surface. In the case of ants, only adults leave the underground nests, and they do so only togather food or to defend the nest against attack./doc/799610349.html,pared with other desert animals, the camel can bear___.A) a very low body temperature B) only a little change in body temperatureC) a big increase in body temperature D) a constant change in body temperature47.The kangaroo rat is different from other animals in that___.A) it can produce water through breathing B) it can store water in parts of its bodyC) it can maintain different body temperatures D) it can drinka lot of water at a time48. Why is the desert full of activity in summer nights? ___.A)Because it is cooler and safer for most animals.B)Because animals can find food in the dark.C)Because it is easy to find water at night.D)Because animals cannot sleep at night.49. Why is it easy for many species of insects to live in the desert? ___.A)Because it is not difficult for them to survive there.B)Because they are not afraid of the heat.C)Because it is not difficult for them to find food there.D)Because they have a waterproof skin.50. Most insects live below the ground because ___.A) it is easy for them to build nests there B) it is easy to find water thereC) it is cooler there than on the surfaces D) it is easier to build nests therePassage threeQuestions 51 to 55 are based on the following passage:People who have to fly all the time for business usually find it boring. People who fly only once in a while are excited. However, some people feel only terror when they board an airplane. They suffer from a phobia, an illogical fear.If you are afraid of poisonous spiders, this is logical. If you are afraid of all spiders, even harmless ones, this is a phobia because it is illogical. Some people have phobias about heights, being shut up in a small area, or being in a large open area. It is not logical to be afraid of these things when there is no danger, but a phobia is not logical.Fear of flying is another phobia. We always hear about a plane crash, but we don’t hear a bout millions of flights every year that are safe. Riding in a car is thirty times more dangerous than flying, but most of us are not afraid every time we get into a car. It is not logical to be afraid of flying, but research shows that about 12 percent of people have this fear.People with this phobia about flying are afraid for one or more of these reasons. They are afraid of heights. They might be afraid of being in an enclosed place like an elevator or a tunnel on a highway. Maybe they are afraid of the crowds and all the noise and people rushing around at an airport. Some people are afraid of the unknown. They don’t understand the technology of flying and can’t believe that a huge airplane can stay up in the air. Others are afraid of loss of control. They need to control every situation they are in.For some people, a fear of flying is not important because they don’t really need to fly. But what about the people who have to fly if they want to continue in their professions?51. A phobia is________.A)harmful B) illogical C) chemical D) physical52. Fear of flying is called a kind of phobia because_________.A)there is no danger in flyingB)people with phobia are actually afraid of other things rather than flyingC)flying is much safer than riding in a carD)people would become mad when flying53. According to the passage, riding in a car is _________ than flying.A)more comfortableB)more convenientC)more dangerousD)easier54. People are afraid of flying because all of the following EXCEPT________.A)they are afraid of heightsB)they might be afraid of being shut in an enclosed placeC)t hey are afraid of things they don’t kno wD)they are afraid of meeting strange people55. What is the passage probably going to talk about in the following part?A)How can people overcome a fear of flying?B)How can people avoid flying?C)Why is it important for some people having a flying phobia?D)Why are people afraid of flying?Passage fourQuestions 56 to 60 are based on the following passage:Believe it or not, optical illusion（错觉）can cut highway crashes.Japan is a case in point. It has reduced automobile crashes on some roads by nearly 75 percent using a simple optical illusion.Bent stripes, called chevrons (人字形)，painted on the roads make drivers think that they are driving faster than they really are, and thus drivers slow down. Nowthe American Automobile Association Foundation for Traffic Safety in Washington D.C. is planning to repeat Japan's success. Starting next year, the foundation will paint chevrons and other patterns of stripes on selected roads around the country to test how well the patterns reduce highway crashes. Excessive speed plays a major role in as much as one fifth of all fatal traffic accidents, according to the foundation. T o help reduce those accidents, the foundation will conduct its tests in areas where speed-related hazards are the greatest ------ curves, exit slopes, traffic circles, and bridges. Some studies suggest that straight, horizontal bars painted across roads can initially cut the average speed of drivers in half. However, traffic often returns to full speed within months as drivers become used to seeing the painted bars. Chevrons, scientists say, not only give drivers the impression that they are driving faster than they really are but also make a lane appear to be narrower. The result is a longer lasting reduction in highway speed and the number of traffic accidents.56. The passage mainly discusses_______.A) a new way of highway speed controlB) a new pattern for painting highwaysC) a new approach to training driversD) a new type of optical illusion57. On roads painted with chevrons, drivers tend to feel that_______.A) they could avoid speed-related hazardsB) they are driving in the wrong laneC) they should slow down their speedD) they are approaching the speed limit58. The advantage of chevrons over straight, horizontal bars is that the former_______.A) can keep drivers awakeB) can cut road accidents in halfC) will have a longer effect on driversD) will look more attractive59. The American Automobile Association Foundation for Traffic Safety Plans to_______.A) try out the Japanese method in certain areasB) change the road signs across the countryC) replace straight, horizontal bars with chevronsD) repeat the Japanese road patterns60. What does the author say about straight, horizontal bars painted across roads?A) They are falling out of use in the United States.B) They tend to be ignored by drivers in a short period of time.C) They are applicable only on broad roads.D) They cannot be applied successfully to traffic circles.Part IV Cloze 10%Directions: There are 20 blanks in the following passage.

I think thirty dollars per month is no small amount of money for a student.To be honest, I don’t need to use a cell phone because I don’t have any urgent business, but all my family and friends have cell phones. More than fifty percent of the population in Korea（韩国）has a cell phone. Think about that number: only children and very old people don’t have one.If I didn’t have a cell phone, everybody would raise such a question, “Why doesn’t she have one?” I would be considered as a strange and independent person. Korea has agroup-oriented culture, so a strange and independent p erson isn’t welcome. I don’t want to be strange, so I cannot do anything but use a cell phone.I have to check my cell phone all the time, and I have to change the battery every other day. It is kind of a big problem. Even though I don’t want to answer the phone at all, I have to answer it because as long as I have a cell phone, a quick answer is etiquette（礼节）. It has really invaded（影响）my life. I have never thought cell phones are useful and meaningful devices. I hate them because I am a person who likes to lead a peaceful, calm life. I wish I could get rid of my cell phone in the near future.Directions: Choose the best answer from the four choices.6. The author has a cell phone just because ___________.A. she deal with businessB. she has to talk with friendsC. several people have oneD. most of the people have one7.
