Jack was getting a tattoo. His friend Tony had recently gotten a tattoo, and Jack was so impressed by Tony"s bravery and his tattoo that he decided to get one too. Getting a tattoo because your friends and peers have them is just one of the reasons why a lot of young people in North America get tattoos. Peer pressure, media influence, and personal expression are some of **mon reasons for wearing tattoos today. The desire to be part of a group, to be accepted by one"s friends or peers, can have a great influence on what a person does. Sometimes, wearing a tattoo can be a sign that you belong to a certain group. Gangs often use special clothes and tattoos to identify their particular group. For example, in one gang all the members may wear green army jackets and have large"Xs" tattooed on their arms. It is not only gangs that have this type of special "uniform". Young people often belong to a certain group of friends. Some of these groups wear only brand-name clothes. Some wear only black clothes. Others wear tattoos. When a person"s friends are all doing something, such as getting a tattoo, that person is more likely to do the same thing, and get a tattoo, too. The media isanother big influence behind the popularity of tattoos in North America. A wide variety of media images show tattoos. Tattoos can be seen on people appearing in commercials selling expensive cars. Famous sports heroes with tattoos are shown in magazines. Fashion models are often seen in magazines and on TV wearing designer clothes that show their bodies tattooed with detailed and colorful patterns. These media images link tattoos to ideas of wealth, success, and status. As a result, many people decide to get a tattoo for its fashion and status value. It is not always the influence of other people or the media that results in a person getting a tattoo. Many people decide to wear tattoos in order to express their artistic nature, their beliefs, or their feelings—in other words, to show their individuality. A musician in a rock band may get a tattoo of a guitar on the arm. Some environmentalists may tattoo pictures of endangered animals on their shoulders. Lovers may tattoo each others" names over their hearts. A tattoo can be a public sign to show what is important in a person"s life. As you can see, there are many reasons why young North Americans get tattoos. A tattoo can be part of a group"s uniform. It can be a sign of fashion. It can be an expression of individuality. The decision to get a tattoo is most often a result of the influence of friends or media or the desire to express oneself. For Jack, it was a mixture of all three.1. According to the essay, media images are linked to______. Choose all that apply.A. wealthB. statusC. successD. debt2. Jack was stabbed for thirty minutes with a needle because______.A. he was getting a nose ringB. he was getting his ears piercedC. he was getting acupunctureD. he was getting a tattoo3. According to the essay, some people get tattoos because______.A. they think it is fashionableB. they like painC. they think it will wash off in the bathD. they are religious4. According to the essay, Jack thinks people who get tattoos are______.A. cowardlyB. braveC. old fashionedD. nitwits5. What is NOT the reason for Jack"s getting a tattoo?A. The influence of friends.B. The influence of media.C. A desire to express himself.D. A desire to stay healthy.Brendan"s best friend is Tip. Tip and Brendan are inseparable. They teach each other things and they look after each other. Tip has helped Brendan become more responsible, more caring, and a better friend. Brendan is a nine-year-old boy, and Tip is a ten-year-old dog. Brendan and Tip are an example of how owning a dog can have a positive effect on a child"s development. Having a dog develops a child"s sense of responsibility, broadens his capacity for empathy, and teaches the nature of friendship. Having a dog helps a child learn how to act responsibly. As a dog owner, the child must take care of the animal"s daily needs. The dog must be fed and exercised every day.A dog is completely dependent on its owner for all its needs, including the need for good healthand a safe environment. Therefore, being responsible for a dog also means taking care of the dog so that it stays healthy. Furthermore, the owner must take responsibility for the safety of the dog and the safety of the people it comes into contact with. If the child forgets any of these duties and responsibilities, or ignores any of the dog"s needs, the dog will suffer. This teaches the child that his responsibility to the dog is more important than his desire to play with his toys, talk on the phone, or watch TV. This is true not only for the care of a dog, but also for the care of oneself, another person, or one"s job. Learning how to take responsibility for the health and welfare of a dog leads to learning how to take responsibility for oneself. Another lesson that a child can learn from having a dog is how to be empathetic. Empathy is the ability to put oneself in another person"s, or in this case, another creature"s, situation and imagine that person"s or creature"s feelings or problems. A dog cannot express itself with speech, so its owner must learn how to interpret its behaviour. The child must learn to understand what the dog"s behaviour means. Is the dog frightened, aggressive, or sick? The child needs to understand what is going on in the dog"s mind. Understanding a situation from the dog"s perspective helps the child understand why the dog is behaving in a certain way and what the dog needs. The result of learning to read a dog"s behaviour is that the child develops empathy. By learning how to empathize with a dog, the child also learns how to empathize with other people. This leads to the child becoming a more considerate and caring person. Being considerate and caring are important characteristics in a good friend. One of the most significant benefits of owning a dog is the example of true friendship that a dog provides. A dog gives unconditional love to its owner. A dog will not stop loving its owner because of a little anger, indifference, or neglect. The dog will patiently for its owner to pat its head and say a few kind words. This acceptance of the negative qualities and appreciation for the positive qualities of its owner provide a wonderful model of how to be a good friend. A child soon realizes that his dog will always listen to him, will always be ready to play with him, will always protect him, and will always forgive him. A child who has learned to be even half as good a friend to others as his dog is to him will have learned of the most valuable lessons in life. These are some of the most important lessons a child will ever learn. The benefits of owning a dog will last the child"s entire lifetime. The understanding and appreciation of responsibility, empathy, and friendship that a child develops from the experience of having a dog will help him or her grow into a reliable, caring, and mature adult.6. A child learns how to be responsible for a dog by______.A. taking care of the dog"s daily needsB. becoming dependent on the dogC. taking away a safe environmentD. feeding the dog weekly7. Learning how to care for a dog can help children______.A. to choose the dog over playingB. to ignore the dog"s needsC. to get welfareD. to take care of themselves8. Which of the following is a positive result of learning how to interpret a dog"s behavior?A. Becoming empathetic.B. Being thoughtless.C. Becoming arrogant.D. Becoming selfish.9. As far as loyalty is concerned, which of the following is NOT true?A. The dog will protect people.B. The dog neglects its owner.C. The dog offers unconditional love.D. The dog is able to tolerate the negative qualities of humans.10. Which of the following is a positive result of learning how to interpret a dog"s behavior?A. Becoming arrogant.B. Being thoughtless.C. Becoming empathetic.D. Becoming selfish.This year 2008 , Americans elect on a new president on November 4th. It"s an important event that happens once every four years. Currently, the president is always elected from one of the two main parties in the United States; the Republicans and the Democrats. There are other presidential candidates. However, it is unlikely that any of these"third party"candidates will win. It certainly hasn"t happened in the last one hundred years. In order to become the presidential nominee of a party, the candidate must win the primary election. Primary elections are held throughout each state in the United States in the first half of any election year. Then, the delegates attend their party convention in order to nominate their chosen candidate. Usually, as in this election, it"s clear who will be the nominee. However, in the past parties have been divided and choosing a nominee has been a difficult process. Once the nominees have been selected, they campaign throughout the country. A number of debates are usually held in order to better understand the candidates" points of view. These points of view often reflect their party"s platform. A party platform is best described as the general beliefs and policies a party holds. Candidates cross the country by plane, bus, train or by car giving speeches. These speeches are often called "stump speeches". In the 19th century candidates would stand on tree stumps to deliver their speeches. These stump speeches repeat the candidate"s basic views and aspirations for the country. They are repeated many hundred of times by each candidate. Many people believe that campaigns in the United States have become too negative. Each night you can see many attack ads on the television. These short ads contain sound bites which often distort the truth, or something the other candidate has said or done. Another recent problem has been voter turnout. There is often less than 60% turnout for national elections. Some people don"t register to vote, and some registered voters don"t show up at the voting booths. This angers many citizens who feel that voting is the most important responsibility of any citizen. Others point out that not voting is expressing an opinion that the system is broken. The United States maintains an extremely old, and some say inefficient, voting system. This system is called the Electoral College. Each state is assigned electoral votes based on the number of senators and representatives that state has in Congress. Each state has two Senators. The number of representatives is determined by the states population but is never less than 1 percent. The electoral votes are decided by the popular vote in each state. One candidate wins all of the electoral votes in a state. In other words, Oregon has 8 electoral votes. If 1 million people vote for the Republican candidate and one million and ten people vote for the Democratic candidate, ALL 3 electoral votes go to the democratic candidate. Many people feel that this system should be abandoned.11. What is the " third party" ?A. The Republicans.B. The Democrats.C. Neither of the two main parties.D. Either the opponents or the supporters.12. When are primaries held?A. During the second half of the election year.B. During the previous year to the election.C. During the first half of the election year.D. During the second half of the election year.13. What is the main purpose of the debates?A. Raising money for the election.B. Helping to understand the candidates" points of view.C. To attract advertising.D. Helping the audience and voters to make their decision.14. What is a stump speech?A. The standard speech given by a nominee many times.B. A special speech for a particular group.C. A speech about the forest.D. The improvised speech made by candidates while traveling.15. What is an attack ad?A. An advertisement which presents a nominee"s point of view on an issue.B. A type of election fad.C. A type of party platform.D. An advertisement which contains a sound bite which distorts the truth.Learning a language is not for everyone. Some people find it very difficult and stressful; others actually enjoy the mental challenge and still others(although these are rare people)find it easy to learn a foreign language. Recently, there has been a lot of interest in trying to define the characteristics of a " good" language learner. Here are four examples—can you select the person who is likely to make the best language learner from these descriptions of their needs and personalities? Perhaps it is best to take a typical example at the outset. Fred Brown had to retire last year because of a bad heart. He went to Spain for a holiday and decided he liked the country and the people so much that he would like to learn the language. He already speaks good French and a little Italian and he thinks these will give him a head start in learning another Latin language. He sees language leaning as a detective game; He hunts for cines and likes to find the answers himself. He knows that language learning is hard work, but he gives himself a little to learn each day. He listens to himself and usually knows when he has made a mistake. He knows exactly what sort of Spanish he wants to learn and is only interested in that. Mary Green has friends in Athens and she has been to Greece several times. Through her friends she met a Greek working in London and now they are engaged to be married. They plan to live in London but she feels she must learn Greek to talk to her future in-laws. She is going to Greek cookery classes as well. She says she is "hopeless at languages" and she hated the French teacher at school. She thinks language is all about talking and she tries to experiment with the language she knows:She takes risks. She is rather lazy about reading Greek and "switches off" when she sees it written down. She finds the classes a bit boring because she is not learning the things she wants to leambut she has not spoken to the teacher about this. In total contrast to someone who has the need to integrate into a family situation, however, is John Freeman. John"s company is starting to sell sportswear in France next May and John will have to visit Marseilles four times a year. There will be a local agent so he will not have to negotiate in French. He has been to France on holiday three times and knows a few words already. He enjoyed the sunshine but doesn"t really like foreigners:" They"re all a funny lot. " He is a very precise person who always likes to be accurate and doesn"t like to make a fool of himself. He does not speak any other languages and is motivated to learn French because of his work. He knows that language can be described as a series of rules and he tries hard to learn the system. He likes the teacher to translate so that he can be sure he has understood exactly what every word means. He is not interested in wasting his time guessing. He has not thought about what kind of French he needs to learn. Jane Smith, on the other hand, hasn"t even started work so she won"t have the strong motivation that working in a language gives people who are trying to sell their products. However, she doesn"t think that foreigners are strange people and she isn"t frightened of making mistakes because " it"s all a bit of fun". She has now finished her first school examinations and, although she is going on to study science in the 6th Form, she doesn"t want to forget the German she has studied. She can"t bear writing, though, and is impatient with herself when she makes grammatical mistakes. She doesn"t really know why she is continuing to leam and she has already said that if her German studies take up too much of her time, she will drop them and focus on "real" work. All of these learners have their own reasons and they are all different in how they approach the task and what they think learning is all about. The experts" view is that people who have a clear idea of the reasons for learning will do well and, on that basis, Fred Brown, John Freeman and Mary Green are clearly advantaged. However, it is also true that those who take risks and experiment do well and regular exposure to the language do well and here, of courses, John and Mary may have the edge over people like Jane. There"s also a case to be made that for those who enjoy learning and don"t care too much about making mistakes, success **e easily.16. The person with the lowest motivation is probably______.A. JaneB. FredC. JohnD. Mary17. John Freeman is learning French______.A. because he needs to go to MarseillesB. only for professional reasonsC. to integrate into the French **munityD. to be able to make business deals in French18. Mary Green is learning Greek because______.A. she needs it for professional reasonsB. she is going to cookery classes in GreekC. she wants to be able to talk to her familyD. she wants to live in Greece19. Fred, John and Mary have an advantage because______.A. they aren"t afraid to experimentB. they know what they want to learnC. they understand the structure of languageD. they know why they are learning the language20. Contact with native speakers helps you to learn, so______.A. Fred will be at a definite disadvantageB. Jane will have an advantageC. Jane and John will be at a disadvantageD. John and Mary will have an advantage4. 英译汉1. Translate the following paragraphs into Chinese.(30 %)The strategic nature of the threat now posed by human civilization to the global environment and the strategic nature of the threat to human civilization now posed by changes in the global environment present us with a similar set of challenges and false hopes. Some argue that a new ultimate technology, whether unclear power or genetic engineering will solve the problem. Others hold that only a drastic reduction of our reliance on technology can improve the conditions of life—a simplistic notion at best. But the real solution will be found in reinventing and finally healing the relationship between civilization and the earth. This can only be accomplished by undertaking a careful reassessment of all the factors that led to the relatively recent dramatic change in the relationship. The transformation of the way we relate to the earth will of course involve new technologies, but the key changes will involve new ways of thinking about the relationship itself.2. As we listen today to the arguments about bilingual education, we ought to think ourselves back into the shoes of the Saxon peasant. The new ruling class had built a cultural barrier against him by building their French against his own language. There must have been a great deal of cultural humiliation felt by the English when they revolted under Saxon leaders like Hereward the Wake. "The King"s English"—if the term had existed then—had become French. And here in American now, 900 years later, we are still the heirs to it.3. The diversity gives endless color to the city, so that walking in it is a constant education in slights and smells. There is a wonderful variety of places to eat or shop, and though the most successful of such places are likely to be touristy **promises, they too have genuine roots. Other American cities have ethnic turfs jealously defended, but not, I think, such an admixture of groups, thrown together in such jarring juxtapositions. In the same way, avenues of high-rise luxury in New York must be celebrated along with its treasures of art and music. **bination is unstable; it produces friction, or an uneasy forbearance that sometimes becomes a real toleration.5. 写作1. There is a famous saying by Henry Peter Brougham:" Education makes a people easy to lead, but difficult to drive; easy to govern, but impossible to enslave. " You are supposed to write a composition of about 300 words on the topic: Education. In the first part of **position, you should present your thesis statement; in the second part, you should support the thesis statement with details; and in the last part, you should bring what you have written to a natural conclusion. Marks will be awarded for content, organization, grammar and diction. Please write your response on the answer sheet.。

Part I Reading Comprehension (2’×20 = 40 points)Directions:In this part of the test, there will be 5 passages for you to read. Each passage is followed by 4 questions or unfinished statements, and each question or unfinished statement is followed by four choices marked A, B, C and D. You are to decide on the best choice by blackening the corresponding letter on the ANSWER SHEET.Passage OneMr Gordon is right that the second industrial revolution involved never-to-be-repeated changes. But that does not mean that driverless cars count for nothing. Messrs Erixon and Weigel are also right to worry about the West’s dismal recent record in producing new companies. But many old firms are not run by bureaucrats and have reinvented themselves many times over: General Electric must be on at least its ninth life. And the impact of giant new firms born in the past 20 years such as Uber, Google and Facebook should not be underestimated: they have all the Schumpeterian characteristics the authors admire.On the pessimists’ side the strongest argument relies not on closely watching corporate and investor behavior but rather on macro-level statistics on productivity. The figures from recent years are truly dismal. Karim Foda, of the Brookings Institution, calculates that labor productivity in the rich world is growing at its slowest rate since 1950. Total factor productivity (which tries to measure innovation) has grown at just 0.1% in advanced economies since 2004, well below its historical average.Optimists have two retorts. The first is that there must be something wrong with the figures. One possibility is that they fail to count the huge consumer surplus given away free of charge on the internet. But this is unconvincing. The official figures may well be understating the impact of the internet revolution, just as they downplayed the impact of electricity and cars in the past, but they are not understating it enough to explain the recent decline in productivity growth.Another, second line of argument that the productivity revolution has only just begun is more persuasive. Over the past decade many IT companies may have focused on things that were more “fun than fundamental” in Paul Krugman’s phrase.But Silicon Valley’s best companies are certainly focusing on things that change the material world.Uber and Airbnb are bringing dramatic improvements to two large industries that have been more or less stuck for decades. Morgan Stanley estimates that driverless cars could result in $507 billion a year of productivity gains in America, mainly from people being able to stare at their laptops instead of at the road.1.What has led to the pessimistic opinion concerning the world’s economy?A.It is based on macro-level statistics on productivity.B.It is based on close observation on corporate and investor behavior.C.It is due to the fact that many old firms are not run by bureaucrats.D.It is due to the fact that not enough new firms have been created.2.The first argument on the optimists’ side is unconvincing because the official figures________.A.are both wrong and unconvincingB.downplay the internet revolutionC.fail to include the consumer surplusD.can’t explain the decline in productivity growth3.What is true about the IT companies in Silicon Valley??A.They have only focused on the fun part of life.B.They have made a difference in the real world.C.They have more persuasive productivity.D.They have only just begun to develop.4.How can driverless cars benefit American industries?A.Driverless cars have revived two large American industries.B.The sale of driverless cars can reach hundreds of billion dollars.C.Thanks to them people free from driving can do more creative work.D.Driverless cars have stimulated the development of Uber and Airbnb.Passage TwoWinston Churchill was one of the central statesmen of the 20th century and, almost 50 years after his death, remains a subject of enduring fascination. Part of the current interest in this venerable figure can be attributed to two superb biographies written in the 1980s by historian William Manchester: “The Last Lion: Visions of Glory” and “The Last Lion: Alone.” These two books examined the first two-thirds of Churchill’s life.Unfortunately, after completing the second volume, Manchester’s health declined and the rest of the project stalled. So great was public interest in the long-delayed final volume that it was the subject of a front page story in The New York Times.Eventually, in 2003, Manchester asked his friend Paul Reid to complete the trilogy. Now, nearly a decade later, Reid has published The Last Lion, the final piece of this monumental undertaking. Reid starts when Churchill was appointed prime minister in May 1940 andfollows him through his death in 1965. While most of this volume is appropriately devoted to World War II, it also includes the vast expansion of the British welfare state following the war, the start of the Cold War and the enormous dangers it carried, and the loss of the British Empire.Reid has written a thorough and complete analysis of these years, and it is a worthy finale to the first two volumes. Exhaustively researched and carefully written, it draws on a full range of primary and secondary materials. This book will be essential reading for those who enjoyed the first two volumes and those with a deep interest in understanding this seminal figure and his place in history.Reid does a wonderful job of capturing Churchill in all his complexity. He gives Churchill great praise for his personal courage and inspirational leadership during the dark days when Britain stood alone, but he is equally clear about Churchill’s poor strategic judgments, such as the efforts to defend Greece and Crete, the Allied assault on Anzio, and the decision to send the battleship Prince of Wales and battle cruiser Repulse to the South China Sea without adequate air cover where they were promptly sunk by the Japanese.He highlights Churchill’s naiveté in dealing with Soviet Premier Stalin in the early years of the war, but praises his prescience in anticipating Stalin’s land grab in Eastern Europe at the end of the conflict. Reid also gives welcome attention to aspects of the war ― such as Churchill’s fear that the United States might decide to put its primary emphasis on defeating Japan regardless of the “Germany first” understanding he shared with Roosevelt that have received little attention in other books.5.What can be known about the two biographies of Churchill?A.They were written in an interesting style.B.They were written prior to Churchill’s death.C.They are mainly written from a historical point of view.D.They have helped intrigue the readers over a long period.6.Why did the biography once become a front page story in The New York Times?A.People were looking forward to the publication of the final volume.B.Readers were angry with the author for the delay of the final volume.C.The publication of the final volume was then a heatedly discussed issue.D.Readers wanted to know who would be the new author of the final volume.7.Why does the third volume prove to be worthy?A.It is widely read and welcomed by readers.B.It involves enough details in Churchill’s life.C.It is based on thorough and reliable research.D.It offers a unique understanding of Churchill.8.What can we know about Churchill through the third volume?A.He is a man with complexity.B.He pulled Britain through WWII.C.He made many strategic mistakes.D.He is courageous and inspirational.Passage ThreeAsteroids and comets that repeatedly smashed into the early Earth covered the planet’s surface with molten rock during its earliest days, but still may have left oases of water that could have supported the evolution of life, scientists say. The new study reveals that during the planet’s infancy, the surface of the Earth was a hellish environment, but perhaps not as hellish as often thought, scientists added.Earth formed about 4.5 billion years ago. The first 500 million years of its life are known as the Hadean Eon. Although this time amounts to more than 10 percent of Earth’s history, little is known about it, since few rocks are known that are older than 3.8 billion years old.For much of the Hadean, Earth and its sister worlds in the inner solar system were pummeled with an extraordinary number of cosmic impacts. “It was thought that because of these asteroids and comets flying around colliding with Earth, conditions on early Earth may have been hellish,” said lead study author Simone Marchi, a planetary scientist at the Southwest Research Institute in Boulder, Colorado. This imagined hellishness gave the eon its name —Hadean comes from Hades, the lord of the underworld in Greek mythology.However, in the past dozen years or so, a radically different picture of the Hadean began to emerge. Analysis of minerals trapped within microscopic zircon crystals dating from this econ “suggested that there was liquid water on the surface of the Earth back then, clashing with the previous picture that the Hadean was hellish,” Marchi said. This could explain why the evidence of the earliest life on Earth appears during the Hadean —maybe the planet was less inhospitable during that eon than previously thought.The exact timing and magnitude of the impacts that smashed Earth during the Hadean are unknown. To get an idea of the effects of this bombardment, Machi and his colleagues looked at the moon, whose heavily cratered surface helped model the battering that its close neighbor Earth must have experienced back then.“We also looked at highly siderophile elements (elements that bind tightly to iron), such as gold, delivered to Earth as a result of these early collisions, and the amounts of these elements tells us the total mass accreted by Earth as the results of these collisions,”Marchi said. Prior research suggests these impacts probably contributed less than 0.5 percent of the Earth’s present-day mass.The researchers discovered that “the surface of the Earth during the Hadean was heavily affected by very large collisions, by impactors [ɪm'pæktə] larger than 100 kilometers (60 miles) or so —really, really big impactors,’ Marchi said.“When Earth has a collision with an object that big, that melts a large volume of the Earth’s crust and mantle, covering a large f raction of the surface,”Marchi added. These findings suggest that Earth’s surface was buried over and over again by large volumes of molten rock —enough to cover the surface of the Earth several times. This helps explain why so few rock survive from the Hadean, the researchers said.9.Why is little known about the Earth’s first 500 million years?A.Because it is an imagined period of time.B.Because this period is of little significance.C.Because it is impossible to know about this period.D.Because no rocks are available as research evidence.10.Why is the early Earth imagined to be hellish?A.Because it was often smashed by asteroids and comets.B.Because back then Hades, the lord of Hell, resigned.C.Because it was so according to Greek mythology.D.Because back then there was no life.11.Why was the early Earth in fact less inhospitable than often thought?A.Because minerals of the Hadean have been found suggesting the existence of life.B.Because the clashing brought by asteroids and comets was not completely damaging.C.Because during the Hadean there already existed the evidence of life.D.Because there had already been liquid water on the Earth back then.12.How can the moon help with the understanding of the impacts that smashed the Earth?A.The moon once smashed into the Earth too.B.The moon was battered earlier than the Earth.C.The moon, as a close neighbor, is easier to observe.D.The moon’s surface is heavily cratered as the Earth’s.Passage FourFrom beach balls, pool toys, and jump houses, inflatable technology takes a big step forward for its next frontier: space station. A new kind of tech will be aboard Space X’s eighth supply mission to the International Space Station (ISS). A compressed living module will be delivered and attached to the station where, in the void of space, it will expand into a new habitat for astronauts.Designed by Bigelow Aerospace, the inflatable space habitat is one area NASA is exploring for potential deep space habitats and other advanced space missions.“The ‘Bigelow Expandable Activity Module,’ or the BEAM, is an expandable habitat that will be used to investigate technology and understand the potential benefits of such habitats for human missions to deep space,” NASA Administrator Charles Bolden wrote in a blog post.The habi tats could be a way to “dramatically increase” the space available for astronauts while also offering added protection from the dangers of space, like radiation and space debris, the NASA press release says.But how is an inflatable space station supposed to be a viable means of housing for space travelers? BEAMs are far more than balloon-like rooms where astronauts can take asylum. Technically, the modules don’t inflate― they expand, according to the company. And beyond just air, the habitats are reinforced with an internal metal structure. The outside is composed of multiple layers of material including things like rubber and kevlar to protect from any speeding debris.Inside SpaceX’s Dragon spacecraft on the way to the ISS, the BEAM will be approximately 8 feet in diameter. It will expand once deployed in space to offer 565 cubic feet of space for astronauts. “It’ll be the first time human beings will actually step inside this expandable habitat in space,” fo rmer astronaut George Zamka, who has worked for Bigelow Aerospace, told USA Today. “There won’t be this sense of it being like a balloon.”But astronauts won’t be getting inside the module for some time yet.The BEAM will be attached to the Tranquility Node and deployed. Inside the module are a series of tools that will help the crew of the ISS monitor different aspects of the expandable area to see how it acts in space. The crew will watch heat, radiation, orbital debris, and provide information about the viability of using similar modules in the future.The testing is scheduled to go on for a two-year time period, after which the module will be released and burn up in the atmosphere. NASA’s partnership with Bigelow fits Mr. Bolden’s desire to help grow a robust private sector industry to commercialize aspects of space ― a process he sees as vital if humans want to reach farther cosmic destinations. “The world of low Earth orbit belongs to industry,” Bolden said at a press conference in January 2015.13.What is special about the new living module on SpaceX’s eighth mission to ISS?A) It is expandable.

He’s a wonderful child, adorable and loving, and he’s not fussy or irritable or spoiled. Though he lives across the country from me, I receive regular updates and photos, and he likes all the things that the boys his age want to play with. Shopping for him should be easy, but I find it hard to summon up any enthusiasm, because in all the years I’ve given him presents, he never once sent me a thank-you note.“Sending thank-you notes is becoming a lost art,” mourns Mary Mitchell, a syndicated columnist known as “Ms. Demeanor” and author of six etiquette books. In her view, each generation, compared with the one before, is losing a sense of consideration for other people. “Without respect,” she says, “you have conflict.”Ms. Demeanor would be proud of me: I have figured out a way to ensure that my children always send thank-you notes. And such a gesture is important, says Ms. Demeanor, because “a grateful attitude is a tremendous life skill, an efficient and inexpensive way to set ourselves apart in the work force and in our adult lives. Teach your children that the habit of manners comes from inside ― it’s an attitude based on respecting other people.”A few years ago, as my children descended like piranhas on their presents under the Christmas tree, the only attitude I could see was greed. Where was the appreciation of time and effort?A thank-you note should contain three things: an acknowledgement of the gift (Love the tie with the picture of a hose on it); a recognition of the time and effort spent to select it (You must have shopped all over the state to find such a unique item!); a prediction of how you will use your gift or the way it has enhanced your life (I’ll be sure to wear it to the next Mr. Ed convention!).So, five years ago, in one of my rare flashes of parental insight, I decided that the most appropriate time to teach this basic courtesy is while the tinsel is hot. To the horror of my children, I announced that henceforth every gift received will be an occasion for a thank-you note written immediately, on the spot. I have explained to my kids how I have reacted to not hearing from the little boy ― how it made me fell unappreciated and unmotivated to repeat the process next year.I have reluctantly given my kids the green light to send e-mail thank-you notes; though hand-lettered ones (at least to me) still seem friendlier. But pretty much any thank-you makes the gift giver feel special ― just as, we hope, the recipient feels. It’s a gesture that perfectly captures the spirit of the holidays.17.The author felt unmotivated when buying a gift for the little boy because he ________.A.purposely intended not to show gratitude for her kindness and considerationB.had never expressed appreciation of the gifts he received in previous years.C.had no idea how thoughtful she was in choosing a gift for himD.didn’t like any of the gift she had given him18.According to Ms. Demeanor, showing appreciation has the benefit of ________.A.forming the habit of good mannersB.regaining the lost art of expressing thanksC.motivating the gift giver to buy more giftsD.distinguishing oneself from others in work and life19.In a thank-you note, “The book will be my good companion when I am alone”serves as________.A. a recognition of the time and effort spent to select itB.an announcement of how it has enhanced your lifeC. a prediction of how you will use your giftD.an acknowledgement of the gift20.What does the author mean by “while the tinsel is hot (Line 2, Para. 6)?A.The moment her kids receive a gift.B.The moment she starts choosing gifts for each kid.C.When the art of sending thank-you notes isn’t lost yet.D.When her kids still remember who bought the gifts for them.Part II English-Chinese Translation (5’×4 = 20 points)Directions: Read the following passage, and then translate the underlined parts numbered from (1) to (4), from English into Chinese. Please write your answer on the ANSWER SHEET.Economics is no different. Supply, demand, elasticity, comparative advantage, consumer surplus, deadweight loss--these terms are part of the economist’s language. In the coming chapters, you will encounter many new terms and some familiar words that economists use in specialized ways.(1)At first, this new language may seem needlessly arcane. But, as you will see, its value lies in its ability to provide you a new and useful way of thinking about the world in which you live.Economists try to address their subject with a scientist’s objectivity. They approach the study of the economy in much the same way as a physicist approaches the study of matter and a biologist approaches the study of life: (2)They devise theories, collect data, and then analyze these data in an attempt to verify or refute their theories.To beginners, it can seem odd to claim that economics is a science. After all, economists do not work with test tubes or telescopes. (3)The essence of science, however, is the scientific methods--the dispassionate development and testing of theories about how the world works.This method of inquiry is as applicable to studying a nation’s economy as it is to studying the earth’s gravity or a species’ evolution.

武汉大学动力与机械学院2018级大一第一学期期中考试英语试题
武汉大学动力与机械学院2018~2019学年大一第一学期期中考试英语试题Part I Reading Comprehension (40%)Section ADirections: There are 3 passages in this section. Each passage is followed by some questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A), B), C) and D). You should decide on the best choice and mark the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet.Passage OneQuestions 1 to 5 are based on the following passage.Martin had lived in New York for forty years and never been mugged once. This did not make him confident - on the contrary, it terrified him. The way he saw it, he was now the most likely person in Manhattan to get mugged next.“What are the odds of me getting mugged?” he asked his friend Lenny.“How much are you willing to bet?” said Lenny, who was a compulsive gambler.“Oh, come on, this is too important to bet on!”“Nothing is too important to bet on,” said Lenny, shocked. That was the end of their friendship.“How do you think I can avoid getting mugged?” Martin asked his friend Grace. Grace had not been outside her apartment in five years, as a sure-fire way of avoiding being mugged. It had failed; someone had broken in and mugged her.“I’ve no idea, Martin,” she said. “Most of these guys are on drugs anyway, and they need the money for their addiction.”This gave Martin an idea. If the muggers only needed the money for drugs, why didn’t he offer them drugs instead? Then possibly they would be so grateful that they wouldn’t harm him. Through some rich friends he knew he bought small quantities of heroin and cocaine. He had never touched the stuff himself, so he had to label them carefully to make sure he didn’t get them mixed up.One day he was walking in a part of Central Park he shouldn’t have been in (the part where there is grass and trees) when three men leapt out at him. One was black, one was Puerto Rican and one was Caucasian. Well, at least mugging is being integrated he thought.“You want drugs?” he cried. “I’ve got drugs! Anything you want you can have. Just name it. But don’t touch me!”The three men let go of him respectfully.“We almost made a big mistake there,” said one of them. “This guy’s a pusher. Hurt him and we could have the Mafia down on us. Let’s see what you got, mister.”Somewhat to his surprise, Martin found himself displaying his wares to his clientele. Even more to his surprise, he found himself accepting money for the drugs, much more than he’d paid for them.“How come you guys have all this money?” He said. “Why are you out mugging if you have money?”“Well, we’re not muggers,” said the Caucasian, embarrassed. “We’re out-of-work actors.”“I thought out-of-work showbiz people always became waiters or barmen,” said Martin.“Right. But there are so many showbiz people in catering now that you can’t get work as waiters. So we had to get work as muggers.”When Martin got home, he bought some more drugs from his friend. Pretty soon he sold them to some more muggers. Pretty soon after that he found he was spending more and more time pushing drugs, and making more and more money at it. Being afraid of muggings had turned him into a professional drug-pusher.One day a man leapt out at him and grabbed him. “You want drugs?” said Martin. “I’ve got drugs.”“I want money,” said a familiar voice.“Lenny!” cried Martin. “How’re you doing?”“Badly,” said Lenny. “I lost everything gambling.”He hit Martin on the head and took his money, wallet and all his credit cards, leaving the little packets of white powder behind.1. Martin thought he was going to be mugged soon because .A) he had to go out at night very oftenB) everyone gets mugged at least once in forty yearsC) he had been mugged more than once beforeD) it is likely for people to get mugged in New York2. Why did he offer drugs to the muggers the first time?A) Because he was ordered by the Mafia to do so.B) Because he wanted to make money.C) Because most muggers are drug-addicts.D) Because he wanted to become a professional pusher.3. When he was mugged, he wasn’t harmed because .A) the muggers thought he was protected by the MafiaB) the muggers were impressed by his readiness to cooperateC) he didn’t have any money on him at the timeD) the muggers wanted nothing but drugs4. The moral of the story is that .A) friends may become enemiesB) there is always a way to guarantee solving any problemC) deliberate wrong-doing seldom solves any problemD) drugs are more important than money5. The tone of the whole passage is .A) indifferent B) ironic C) matter-of-fact D) sympatheticPassage TwoQuestions 6 to 10 are based on the following passage.It is not often realized that women held a high place in southern European societies in the 10th and 11th centuries. As a wife, the woman was protected by the setting up of a dowry(嫁妆). Admittedly, the purpose of this was to protect her against the risk of desertion, but in reality its function in the social and family life of the time was much more important. The dowry was the wife’s right to receive a tenth of all her husband’s property. The wife had the right to withhold consent, in all transactions the husband would make, and more than just a right; the documents showed that she enjoyed a real power of decision, equal to that of her husband. In no case do the documents indicate any degree of difference in the legal status of husband and wife.The wife shared in the management of her husband’s personal property, but the opposite was not always true. Women seemed perfectly prepared to defend their own inheritance against husbands who tried to exceed their rights, and on occasion they showed a fine fighting spirit. A case in point is that of Maria Vivas. Having agreed with her husband Miro to sell a field she had inherited, for the needs of the household, she insisted on compensation. None being offered, she succeeded in dragging her husband to the scribe(法学家) to have a contract duly drawn up assigning her a piece of land from Miro’s personal inheritance. The unfortunate husband was obliged to agree, as the contract says, “for the sake of peace.” Either through the dowry or through being hot-tempered, the wife knew how to win herself, within the context of the family, a powerful economic position. Ric illnesses including depression often do not manifest themselves until the late teens or early 20s.6. A dowry was .A) the wife’s inheritance from her father B) a gift of money to the new husbandC) a protection of the wife’s right D) a written contract7. In the 10th and 11th centuries in southern European, women’s social position was .A) higher than men’s B) as high as men’sC) lower than men’s D) never recognized8. The purpose of mentioning the case of Maria Vivas is .A) to show women had the same rights as, if not more than, their husbandsB) to prove hot-tempered woman held a powerful economic positionC) to tell the readers the real situations in some countriesD) to show the fight spirits of woman9. Could a husband sell his wife’s inheritance?A) Yes, if she agreed.B) No, under no circumstances.C) Yes, whenever he wished to.D) Yes, if his father-in-law agreed.10. Which of the following is NOT mentioned as an effect of the dowry system?A) The husband had to share the power of decision in marriage.B) The wife could manage her husband’s personal property.C) The wife gained a powerful economic position.D) The wife would not be deserted by her husband.Passage ThreeQuestions 11 to 15 are based on the following passage.Thoughts of suicide haunted Anita Rutnam long before she arrived at Syracuse University. She had a history of mental illness and had even attempted to kill herself. During her junior year of college, she tried again. On a February morning in 1998, just days after a campus counselor recommended she be hospitalized for her suicidal tendencies, Rutnam threw herself off the eighth floor of a Syracuse dormitory.Miraculously, she survived. But three years later, Rutnam still feels the effects of that day. She has not been able to finish college and is suing her former school for malpractice. Her suit asserts that, given the campus counselor’s advice, school officials should have done more to prevent her suicide attempt.This incident and others have thrown a spotlight on an issue that is causing growing concern in dorm rooms and students center. Are colleges providing adequate care for students who may be struggling with a range of mental illnesses? In the Syracuse cases, a spokesman for the school contends, “The University tried repeatedly to help Anita, and we felt that they acted appropriately.” But lawyers are busy there and elsewhere.After accidents, suicide is the second biggest killer of kids in college. And while the number of students who kill themselves on campus is no higher than that of 18-to-24-year-olds in the general population, a series of sensational incidents has raised the question of whether troubled students are getting proper attention.So what are the schools’ responsibilities to at-risk students, particularly those who may be genetically predisposed (易患……病的) to mental illness? College can be a breeding ground for Psychiatric problems. Poor eating habits and irregular sleeping patterns - especially combined with the academic stress of college life - may all play roles in triggering mental problems. Additionally, many of the major psychiatric illnesses including depression often do not manifest themselves until the late teens or early 20s.11. Anita Rutnam couldn’t finish college most probably because .A) she couldn’t get enough concern from Syracuse UniversityB) she wasn’t physically healthy enough to continue schoolingC) she still kept thinking about killing herself whenever at schoolD) she has been troubled by the memory of the incident very often12. What does the author want us to know through Anita Rutnam’s story?A) The universities are not responsible for their students.B) Suicides are popular on college campus and should be handled properly.C) Why Anita committed suicide is still a mystery.D) Universities should get prepared in case their students sue them.13. What does Anita accuse her former school of?A) Ignorance of her abnormal behaviors.B) Lack of safeguard against her suicidal intention.C) Failure to give her proper academic instructions.D) Indifference to her physical disease.14. How does Syracuse University defend itself against Anita’s suit?A) It has given her due attention as well as help.B) Adult students should be able to control their own behavior.C) It is more than the school’s responsibility to supervise the students.D) Colleges can be a breeding ground for psychiatric problems.15. All the following problems are implied as possible causes of campus suicide incidents EXCEPT .A) poor academic results B) failing to get proper sleepC) lack of family concern D) family history of mental illnessSection BDirections: There is a passage in this section. The passage is followed by some statements. You are required to answer the questions with T or F to indicate whether the statements are true or false. Then mark the corresponding letter on the Answer sheet.Questions 16 to 20 are based on the following passage.An Apple for the TeacherAmerican schoolchildren occasionally present an apple to the teacher. Obviously the custom contains an element of bribery - you offer sweet fruit to authority figures to “sweeten” their disposition. In school children’s case, the apple is offered to make their grades more favorable. Therefore, the apple has more or less acquired a corrosive reputation and maybe for this reason, in slang English “to applepolish” means “to flatter or fawn” and an applepolisher is a flatterer.But the custom might also be explained as a fair payment for the teacher’s instruction. In the early days of public education, school teachers were not always salaried. Often they would be paid in goods and services, offered by either the school, or the pupils or the parents …. Therefore, the occasional gift of an apple for the teacher in today’s classroom should be a welcome reminder of the era when education was one-to-one and when teaching meant enlightening the students rather than identifying their rankings.Caps and GownsFor students, the most exciting moment may be the graduation ceremony: parents, relatives and friends are invited to the ceremony; all the graduates are wearing black square flat caps and gowns. They all await the president to announce in the end, “Now, please move your tassels from right to left. ”The caps and gowns worn by high school and college graduates today are survivors of the everyday dress worn by members of the academic community in medieval Europe. The majority of scholars in the Middle Ages were churchmen, or soon to become so, and their dress was often strictly regulated by the universities where they taught and studied. The standard clerical dress throughout Europe was the long black cope. The original preference for black was changed in the thirteenth and fourteenth centuries, as such colors as red, violet and purple came intofashion; but by the Renaissance black was back, as the color black symbolized simple and plain, or austere way of life in the sixteenth century. With few exceptions, modern universities keep that ceremonial austerity.The origin of the square flat cap, or mortarboard, is obscure, though it probably derives from the medieval biretta. Such a tufted square cap is considered the badge of the mastership, and is later adopted by undergraduates and schoolboys. The term mortarboard does not appear in English until the 1850s. The tassel that graduates transfer from one side to another as a signal of their elevation is an outgrowth of the medieval tuft. The tuft still appears on the modern biretta, worn by bishops throughout the Church of Rome.16. Nowadays, American pupils always offer an apple to the teacher in order to get a better grade.17. In the early days of public education, school teachers were paid in money.18. In America, the caps and gowns are only adopted by college graduates during graduation ceremonies.19. The biretta was considered the mark of scholarship.20. That the graduates move the tassel from one side to the other is a signal of elevation.Part II Vocabulary and Structure (30%)Directions: There are 30 incomplete sentences in this part. For each sentence there are four choices marked A), B), C) and D). Choose the one answer that best completes the sentence. Then mark the corresponding letter on the Answer sheet.21.

What wide reading teaches is the richness, the complexity, the mystery of life. In the wider and longer view, I have come to believe, there is something deeply apolitical—something above politics—in literature, despite what feminist, Marxist, and other politicized literary critics may think. If at the end of a long life of reading the chief message you bring away is that women have had it lousy, or that capitalism stinks, or that attention must above all be paid to victims, then I'd say youjust might have missed something crucial. Too bad, for there probably isn't time to go back to re-read your lifetime's allotment of five thousand or so books.People who have read with love and respect understand that the larger message behind all books, great and good and even some not so good as they might be, is, finally, cultivate your sensibility so that you may trust your heart. The charmingly ironic point of vast reading, at least as I have come to understand it, is to distrust much of one's education. Unfortunately, the only way to know this is first to become educated, just as the only way properly to despise success is first to achieve it.汉译英32 说起季羡林先生的认真，那是出了名的。
