After each passage there are five questions with four choices for each. Choose the best one for each question.Passage OneQuestions 1 to 5 are based on the following passageIn the 1960s medical researchers Thomas Holmes and Richard Rahe developed a checklist of stressful events. They appreciated the tricky point that any major change can be stressful. Negative events like “serious illness of a family member” were high on the list but so were some po sitive life-changing events like marriage. When you take the Holmes-Rahe test you must remember that the score does not reflect how you deal with stress—it only shows how much you have to deal with. And we now know that the way you handle these events dramatically affects your chances of staying healthy.By the early 1970s hundreds of similar studies had followed Holmes and Rahe. And millionsof Americans who work and live under stress worried over the reports. Somehow the research got boiled down to a memorable message. Women’s magazines ran headlines like “Stress causes illness”. If you want to stay physically and mentally healthy，the articles said avoid stressful events. But such simplistic advice is impossible to follow. Even if stressful events are dangerous many—like the death of a loved one—are impossible to avoid. Moreover any warning to avoid all stressful events is a prescription (处方) for staying away from opportunities as well as trouble. Since any change can be stressful a person who wanted to be completely free of stress would never marry, have a child, take a new job or move. The notion that all stress makes you sick also ignores a lot of what we know about people. It assumes we’re all vulnerable (脆弱的) and passive in the face of adversity (逆境). But what about human initiative and creativity? Many come through periods of stress with more physical and mental vigor than they had before. We also know that a long time without change or challenge can lead to boredom and physical and mental strain.1 The result of Holmes-Rahe's medical research tells us ____.A the way you handle major events may cause stressB what should be done to avoid stressC what kind of event would cause stressD how to cope with sudden changes in life2 The studies on stress in the early 1970’s led to ____.A widespread concern over its harmful effectsB great panic over the mental disorder it could causeC an intensive research into stress-related illnessesD popular avoidance of stressful jobs3 The score of the Holmes-Rahe test shows ____.A how much pressure you are underB how positive events can change you lifeC how stressful a major event can beD how you can deal with life-changing events4 Why is “such simplistic advice” in Line 1 Para.3 impossible to follow?A No one can stay on the same job for longB No prescription is effective in relieving stressC People have to get married somedayD You could be missing opportunities as well5 According to the passage people who have experienced ups and downs may become ____.A nervous when faced with difficultiesB physically and mentally strainedC more capable of coping with adversityD indifferent toward what happens to themPassage TwoQuestions 6 to 10 are based on the following passageIt is hard to track the blue whale, the ocean’s largest creature, which has almost been killed off by commercial whaling and is now listed as an endangered species. Attaching radio devices to it is difficult and visual sightings are too unreliable to give real insight into its behavior.So biologists were delighted early this year when with the help of the Navy they were able to track a particular blue whale for 43 days monitoring its sounds. This was possible because of theNavy’s formerly top-secret system of underwater listening devices spanning the oceans. Tracking whales is but one example of an exciting new world just opening to civilian scientists after the cold war as the Navy starts to share and partly uncover its global network of underwater listening system built over the decades to track the ships of potential enemies.Earth scientists announced at a news conference recently that they had used the system for closely monitoring a deep-sea volcanic eruption for the first time and that they plan similar studies. Other scientists have proposed to use the network for tracking ocean currents and measuring changes in ocean and global temperatures. The speed of sound in water is roughly one mile a second-slower than through land but faster than through air. What is most important different layers of ocean water can act as channels for sounds focusing them in the same way a stethoscope does when it carries faint noises from a patient’s chest to a doctor’s ear. This focusing is the main reason that even relatively weak sounds in the ocean especially low-frequency ones can often travel thousands of miles.6 The passage is chiefly about ____.A an effort to protect an endangered marine speciesB the civilian use of a military detection system.C the exposure of a U.S. Navy top-secret weaponD a new way to look into the behavior of blue whales7 The underwater listening system was originally designed ____ .A to trace and locate enemy vesselsB to monitor deep-sea volcanic eruptionsC to study the movement of ocean currentsD to replace the global radio communications network8 The deep-sea listening system makes use of ____ .A the sophisticated technology of focusing sounds under waterB the capability of sound to travel at high speedC the unique property of layers of ocean water in transmitting soundD low-frequency sounds traveling across different layers of water9 It can be inferred from the passage that____.A new radio devices should be developed for tracking the endangered blue whalesB blue whales are no longer endangered with the use of the new listening systemC opinions differ as to whether civilian scientists should be allowed to use military technologyD military technology has great potential in civilian use10 Which of the following is true about the U.S. Navy underwater listening network﹖A It is now partly accessible to civilian scientists.B It has been replaced by a more advanced system.C It became useless to the military after the cold war.D It is indispensable in protecting endangered species.Passage ThreeQuestions 11 to 15 are based on the following passage.Although they are an inexpensive supplier of vitamins, minerals, and high-quality protein, eggs also contain a high level of blood cholesterol（胆固醇），one of the major causes of heart disease. One egg yolk, in fact, contains a little more than two-thirds of the suggested daily cholesterol limit. This knowledge has caused egg sales to plummet (下降) in recent years which inturn has brought about the development of several alternatives to eating regular eggs. One alternative is to eat substitute eggs. These egg substitutes are not really eggs, but they look somewhat like eggs when they are cooked. They have the advantage of having lower cholesterol rates, and they can be scrambled or used in baking. One disadvantage, however, is that they are not good for frying, poaching, or boiling. A second alternative to regular eggs is a new type of egg, sometimes called designer eggs. These eggs are produced by hens that are fed low-fat diets consisting of ingredients such as canola oil, flax, and rice bran (糠) In spite of their diets, however, these hens produce eggs that contain the sane amount of cholesterol as regular eggs. Yet, the producers of these eggs claim that eating their eggs will not raise the blood cholesterol in humans.Egg producers claim that their product has been portrayed unfairly. They cite scientific studies to back up their claim. And, in fact, studies on the relationship between eggs and human cholesterol levels have brought mixed results. It may be that it is not the type of egg that is the main determinant of cholesterol but the person who is eating the eggs. Some people may be more sensitive to cholesterol derived from food than other people. In fact, there is evidence that certain dietary fats stimulate the body’s production of blood cholesterol. Consequently, while it still makes sense to limit one’s intake of eggs, even designer eggs, it seems that doing this w ithout regulating dietary fat will probably not help reduce the blood cholesterol level.11 The main purpose of this passage is ____.A to inform people about the relationship between eggs and cholesterolB to convince people to eat “designer” eggs and substitutesC to persuade people to that eggs are unhealthy and should not be eatenD to introduce the idea that dietary fat increases the blood cholesterol level12 According to the passage, the cause for changes in the sale of eggs has been _____.A dietary changes in hensB decreased productionC increasing priceD concerns about cholesterol13 According to the passage, one egg yolk contains approximately what fraction of the suggested daily limit for human consumption of cholesterol.A 1/3B 1/2C 2/3D 3/414 The author means by the phrase “mixed results” in the second paragraph that ____.A the results are blendedB the results are inconclusiveC the results are a composite of thingsD the results are mingled together15 According to the passage, egg substitutes cannot be used to make any of the following types of eggs EXCEPT ____.A scrambledB friedC poachedD boiledPassage FourQuestions 16 to 20 are based on the following passage.A scientist who does research in economic psychology and who wants to predict the way in which consumers will spend their money must study consumer behavior. He must obtain data both on the resources of consumers and on the motives that tend to encourage or discourage money spending. If an economist were asked which of three groups borrow most----people with rising incomes, stables, or declining incomes. Actually, in the years1947—1950, the answer was: people with rising incomes. People with declining incomes were next and people with stable incomes borrowed the least. This shows us that traditional assumptions about earning and spending are not always reliable. Another traditional assumption is that if people who have money expect prices to go up, they will hasten to buy .If they expect prizes to go down ,they will postpone buying .But research surveys have shown that this is not always true. The expectations of price increases may not stimulate buying .One typical attitude was expressed by the wife of a mechanic in an interview at a ti me of rising prices.” In a few months,” she said, “we’ll have to pay more for meat and milk; we’ll have less to spend on others.”Her family had been planning to buy a new car but they postponed this purchase. Furthermore, the rise in prices that has already taken place may be resented and buyer’s resistance may be evoked .This is shown by the following typical comment,”I just don’t pay these prices; they are too high.”Traditional assumptions should be investigated carefully, and factors of time and place should be considered. The investigations conducted at the same time in Great Britain, however, yielded results that were more in agreement with traditional assumptions about saving and spending patterns. The condition most conducive to spending appears to be prices stability. If prices have been stable and people have become accustomed to considering them ‘right ‘and expecting them to remain stable, they are likely to buy. Thus, it appears that the common business policy of maintaining stable prices with occasional sales or discounts is based on a correct understanding of consumer psychology16 The example of the mechanic’s wife is intended to show that in times of rising prices ____.A people with declining income tend to buy lessB people with stable income tend to borrow lessC people with increasing income tend to buy moreD people with money also tend to buy less17 Findings in investigations in Britain indicate ____.A certain factors should be taken into accountB people in Britain behave in the same way as those in AmericaC price stability results from a correct understanding of consumer psychologyD occasional discount and sales are necessary18 According to the passage people tend to buy more when ____.A prices are expected to go upB prices are expected to go downC prices don’t changeD the business policy doesn’t change19 The best title of the passage is ____.A Consumer’s purchasing powerB Relationship between income and purchasing powerC Traditional assumptionsD Studies in consumer behavior20 The word “evoked” in line 19 could best be replaced by ____.A engagedB debilitatedC stimulatedD evolvedIV TranslationA Directions: Put the following English paragraphs into Chinese.1．The job taught me a valuable lesson: that to be a successful salesperson, you didn’t need to be a rocket scientist—you needed to be a good listener. Today I will carry that lesson with me: I listen to customers.2 In the world of tomorrow managers cannot be technologically illiterate regardless of their functional tasks within the form. They don’t have to be scientists or engineers inventing new technologies, but they have to be managers who understand when to bet and when not to bet on new technologies. If they don’t understand what is going on and technology effectively becomes a black box, they will fail to make the changes.3 The development of e-commerce may well bring the world into a brand new era of “electronic currency”. With the emergence of an electronic currency, every one of us will be affected.B Directions: Put the following Chinese sentences into English.1 该组织旨在促进各国之间的友谊。

Paintings by Ruby, an Asian elephant who lived at the Phoenix Zoo in Arizona, sold for up to $5,000 in the late 1980s, said Dick George, a consultant with the zoo. "Ruby was about seven months old when she first came to the zoo", said George. "She lived with a goat and some chickens, but she didn"t have an elephant companion for a number ofyears. She spent a lot of time drawing in the dirt with a stick to make her days more stimulating. Her keeper bought her some art supplies". George said, ", Ruby was excited about painting right from the beginning". The elephants at the art academies in the Southeast Asia are taught to hold a paintbrush with the tip of their trunks. Initially, the keeper guides the elephant"s trunk over the canvas(画布) and offers rewards for good performance. "It only takes a few hours to a day to teach them", said Mia Fineman, an art historian whose book When Elephants Paint is an illustrated history of the Asian Elephant Art and Conservation Project.第11题Ruby was an Asian elephant ______.A.who was sold for a price as high as $5,000B.who was famous for being the first painting elephantC.whose paintings sold for as high as $5,000D.who started painting in the late 1980s第12题Why did Ruby start painting according to Dick George?A.Because she was seven years old.B.Because she was the first to come to the zoo.C.Because she learned a lot from the goat and the chickens.D.Because she had no elephant partners to play with.第13题How did Ruby paint at the very beginning?A.She used a stick to draw in the dirt.B.She spent much time in the dirt.C.She stimulated herself every day.D.She painted with her keeper"s art supplies.第14题To encourage the elephants to paint well, the keeperA.bought them a lot of art suppliesB.made them excited at the beginningC.taught them to hold a paintbrush with their trunksD.reinforced the desired behaviors with rewards第15题When Elephants Paint is a book ______.A.on the history of artsB.about the painting elephants in AsiaC.explaining how to teach elephants to paintD.chiefly theorizing about elephant art上一题下一题(16~20/共20题)阅读理解While it is true that Americans believe climbing the educational ladder leads to success, they are less certain that intellectual achievement is the only important factor leading to success. A competitive personality is seen as important to success, especially in men. The development of social and political skills is also considered to be very important. To help Americans develop these other important skills, schools have added a large number of extracurricular(课程外)activities to daily life at school. This is especially tree of high schools and colleges and extends down into elementary schools as well. Athletics, frequently called "competitive sports", are perhaps the most important of these activities. Football, basketball, and baseball teams are seen as very important in teaching students, particularly boys, the "winning spirit". At times, athletic teams seem to become more important to some students and their parents than the academic programs offered by the schools.第16题Americans believe that education is ______.A.the only way to successB.the main purpose of the schoolsC.just like climbing laddersD.important to success第17题Which of the following is NOT mentioned as important to success?A.intellectual achievementpetitive personalityC.social backgroundsD.social and political skills第18题A variety of extracurricular activities are added in American schools ______.A.to help students climb the education ladderB.to enrich students" dull life at schoolC.to help students become more successful in later lifeD.to extend college education down into elementary schools第19题Athletic activities are designed ______.A.to make boys strongerB.to teach students winning spiritC.to develop students" social and political skillsD.to improve the academic programs第20题Which of the following can be the best title for this passage?cation and SuccessB.Extracurricular Activities at SchoolC.Athletic SportsD.Intellectual Achievement上一题下一题(21~25/共20题)阅读理解People once widely believed that intelligent life existed on Mars. The 19th-century discovery of what appeared to be geometric designs cut across the surface was taken as evidence. The lines were thought to have been a system of canals that had been built to irrigate the surface. It is now clear that "canals"—perhaps the most spectacular geologic features of Mars—are natural valleys where ancient rivers once flowed. Another fragmented idea concerns the planet"s seasonal changes in color. Once attributed to the rapid spread of some life-form, these shifts are nowknown to develop from the movement of fine dust in the atmosphere. By the close of the 20th century none of the many experiments conducted by spacecraft had ever found persuasive evidence of life. Nevertheless, speculation continued over the existence of some form of life, in either the present or the past. In 1996 scientists discovered organic compounds and minerals in a meteorite(陨石), consisting of Martian rock, that collided with Earth around 11,000 B.C. These compounds suggest that Mars may have been inhabited by organisms more than three billion years ago.第21题Why did people in the 19th century believe the existence of intelligent life on Mars?A.Because the surface of Mars seemed to be geometric.B.Because the lines were drawn across the surface of the planet.C.Because a system of canals was thought to be there.D.Because it was the Martians that built the canals.第22题The "canals" on Mars have proved to be ______ according to the passage.A.the minor geologic characteristic of MarsB.natural valleys on the surface of MarsC.rivers that have kept flowing since ancient timesD.a system that irrigates the whole surface第23题What were the Mars" seasonal changes in color believed to be?A.The natural changes on the planet.B.The seasonal cycles.C.The movement of some life form.D.The storm of dust in its atmosphere.第24题How is the 1996 discovery related to the possible existence of organisms on Mars?A.The meteorite containing organic compounds is part of Mars.B.A Martian rock struck Earth about 11,000 years ago.C.The organisms came back to life after the collision with Earth.D.The inhabiting organisms appeared more than three billion years ago.第25题How many arguments in this passage lead to the belief of the existence of life on Mars?A.Two.B.Three.C.Four.D.Five.上一题下一题(26~30/共20题)阅读理解Weather Forecast The following forecast shows for the listed cities the projected weather conditions and the expected range of temperatures from the afternoon high to the evening low. 图片第26题According to the forecast, ______.A.Kansas City will be warmer than TorontoB.temperatures will be the lowest in Seattle and MinneapolisC.the weather will be fine in most of the listed citiesD.more than half of the listed cities ore cloudy or rain likely第27题Among the following four cities, the difference between the afternoon high and the evening low is smallest in ______.A.Kansas CityB.MiamiC.AtlantaD.Seattle第28题Which of the following cities is closest m Miami in weather conditions?A.BostonB.AtlantaC.WashingtonD.Houston第29题The difference between the afternoon high and the evening low is greatest in ______.A.SeattleB.Los Angeless VegasD.Phoenix第30题The differences between the afternoon high and the evening low are the same in ______.A.Chicago, Dallas, Kansas City, and St. LouisB.Atlanta, San Francisco, New Orleans, and SeattleC.Cleveland, Dallas, St. Louis, and Washington,D.C.D.Pittsburg, Miami, Houston, and Boston上一题下一题(31~40/共10题)完型填空How much sleep does a person need?【B1】the physiological bases of the need for sleep remain conjectural(猜想), rendering conclusive answers to this question impossible, much evidence has been gathered on how much sleep people do in fact obtain.

Choose the best answer from four choices given and put a bar across the number of the choices on the answer sheet. Passage OneThe United States perceives itself to be a middle-class nation. However，middle class is not a real designation，nor does it carry privileges（特权）. It is more of a perception，which probably was as true as it ever could be right after World War II. The economy was growing，more and more people owned their own homes，workers had solid contracts with the companies that employed them，and nearly everyone who wanted a higher education could have one. Successful people enjoyed upward social mobility. They may have started out poor，but they could become rich. Successful people also found that they had greater geographic mobility. In other words，they found themselves moving to and living in a variety of places.The middle class collectively holds several values and principles. One strong value is the need t o earn enough money to feel that one can determine one’s own economic fate. In addition, middle-class morality（道德观）embraces principles of individual responsibility, importance of family, obligations to others，and believing in something outside oneself.But in the 1990s those in the middle class found that there was a price for success. A U. S. News & World Report survey in 1994 indicated that 75 percent of Americans believed that middle class families could no longer make ends meet . Both spouses now worked, as did some of the children; long commutes became routine; the need for child care put strains on the family; and public schools were not as good as they once were. Members of the middle class were no longer financing their lifestyles through earnings but were using credit to stay afloat. The understanding of just what middle class meant was changing.1. This passage gives information aboutA. an individual.B. a social and economic group.C. a political organization.D. a government department.2. In the years after World War II, the middle class wereA. overburdened and in debt.B. hard working and doubtful.C. happy and full of hope.D. young and upset.3. One important middle-class value is thatA. people should always have fun.B. children should believe in themselves.C. debt is nothing to worry about.D. they should earn enough to finance their lifestyles.4. In the second paragraph, the word "collectively' meansA. commonly.B. hesitatingly.C. unknowingly.D. weakly.5. The 1994 survey showed most Americans thought the middle classA. took pleasure in raising children.B. had a regular journey to work.C. could not earn enough money to maintain their lifestyles.D. could easily maintain their lifestyles.Passage TwoQuestions 6 to 10 are based on the following passage:You hear this: "No wonder you are fat. All you ever do is eat. "You feel sad "I skip my breakfast and supper. I run every morning and evening. What else can I do?" Basically you can do nothing. Your genes, not your life habits, determine your weight and your body constantly tries to maintain it.Albert Stunkard of the University of Pennsylvania found from experiments that, "80 percent of the children of two obese (肥胖的) parents become obese,as compared with no more than 14percent of the offspring of two parents of normal weight. "How can obese people become normal or even thin through dieting? Well,dieting can be effective, but the health costs are tremendous. Jules Hirsch, a research physician at Rockefeller University, did a study of eight fat people. They were given a liquid formula providing 600 calories a day.After more than 10 weeks,the subjects lost 45ka on average. But after leaving the hospital,they all regained weight. The results were surprising: by metabolic (新陈代谢的) measurement, fat people who lost large amounts of weight seemed like they were starving. They had psychiatric problems. They dreamed of food or breaking their diet. They were anxious and depressed; some were suicidal. They hid food in their rooms. Researchers wam that it is possible that weight reduction doesn't result In normal weight,but in an abnormal state resembling that of starved non - obese people.Thin people, however, suffer from the opposite: They have to make a great effort to gain weight. Ethan Sims, of the University of Vermont, got prisoners to volunteer to gain weight. In four to six months,they ate as much as they could. They succeeded in increasing their weight by 20 t0 25 percent. But months after the study ended they were back to normal weight and stayed there.This did not mean that people are completely without "hope in controlling their weight. It means that those who tend to be fat will have to constantly battle their genetic inheritance if they want to significantly lower their weight. The findings also provide evidence for something scientists thought was true - each person has a comfortable weight range. The range might be as much as 9kg. Someone might weigh 60-69kg without too much effort. But going above or below the natural weight range is difficult. The body resists by feeling hungry or full and changing the metabolism to pusb the weight back to the range it seeks.6. The first paragraph tells us that our weight is determinede by __________.A. Our eating habitB. Our life styleC. Our work habitD. Our genes7. In Jules Hirsch's study, the subjects __________.A. showed no health problemB. gained weight rapidlyC. were all very shortD. lived only on liquid food8. After leaving the hospital, the eight fat people __________.A. attempted suicideB. were back to normal weightC. went madD. followed the advice of Hirsch's9. In Ethan Sims study, the subjects were asked to__________.A. stay in prisonB. eat as much as they couldC. battle their genetic inheritanceD. lower their weight10. Which of the following statements is true?A. Each person wants to eat to his heart's content.B. Each. person has a weight range of 9kg.C. Each person has a natural weight range.D. Each person wants to control his weight.Passage ThreeIF a super-flu strikes, face masks may not protect you. Whether widespread use of masks will help, or harm, during the next worldwide flu outbreak is a question that researchers are studying furiously. No results have come from their mask research yet. However, the government says people should consider wearing them in certain situations anyway, just in case.But it’s a question the public keeps asking while the government are mak ing preparations for the next flu pandemic. So the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) came up with preliminary guidelines. “We don’t want people wearing them everywhere,” said the CDC. “The overall recommendatio n really is to avoid exposure.”When that’s not possible, the guidelines say to consider wearing a simple surgical mask if you are in one of the three following situations. First, you’re healthy and can’t avoid going to a crowded place. Second t you’re sick and think you may have close contact with the healthy, such as a family member checking on you. Third, you live with someone who’s sick and thus might be in the early stages of infection, but still need to go out.Influenza pandemics can strike when the easy-to-mutate flu virus shifts to a strain that people never have experienced. Scientists cannot predict when the next pandemic will arrive, although concern is rising that the Asian bird flu might trigger one if it starts spreading easily from person to person.During the flu pandemic, you should protect yourself. Avoid crowds, and avoid close contact with the sick unless you must care for someone. Why aren’t masks added to this self-protection list? Because they can help trap virus-laden droplets flying through the air with a cough or sneeze. Simple surgical masks only filter the larger droplets. Besides, the CDC is afraid masks may create a false sense of security. Perhaps someone who should have stayed home would don an ill-fitting mask and hop on the subway instead.Nor does flu only spread through the air. Say someone covers a sneeze with his or her hand, then touches a doorknob or subway pole. If you touch that spot next and then put germy hands on your nose or mouth, you’ve been exposed. It’s harder to rub your nose while wearing a mask and so your face may get pretty sweaty under masks. You reach under to wipe that sweat, and may transfer germs caught on the outside of the mask straight to the nose. These are the problems face masks may create for their users.Whether people should or should not use face masks still remains a question. The general public has to wait patiently for the results of the mask research scientists are still doing.11. What is the passage mainly about?A. Widespread use of face masks.B. Possibility of a worldwide flu outbreakC. New discoveries of a face mask research.D. Effectiveness of wearing face masks12. The CDC suggests that peopleA. stay alone when being sick.B. wear face masks when going to a crowded place.C. wear face masks wherever possible.D. remain at home if l iving with someone who’s sick.13. The word "that" in Paragraph 3 refers toA. making preparations.B. avoiding exposureC. coming up with guidelines.D. wearing face masks everywhere.14. Which of the following statements is true?A. Scientists warn the next flu is coming soon.B. Asian bird flu is spreading easily from person to person.C. Masks protect people because they keep viruses away.D. Masks are not effective if a flu strikes.15. One of the concerns the CDC has is thatA .masks may give people a wrong assumption of being safe.B. the sick may not wear masks and go out.C. flu virus may spread via public transportation.D. healthy people may not know how to protect themselves.Passage FourPuerto Rico, a Caribbean (加勒比海区) island rich in history and remarkable natural beauty, has a cuisine all its own. Immigration(移民) to the island has helped to shape its cuisine, with people from all over the world making various contributions to it. However, before the arrival of these immigrants, the Taino people lived on the island of Puerto Rico. Taino cuisine included such foods as rodents (啮齿动物), fresh shellfish and fish fried in corn oil.Many aspects of Taino cuisine continue today in Puerto Rican cooking, but it has been heavily influenced by the Spanish, who invaded Puerto Rico in 1508, and Africans, who were initially brought to Puerto Rico to work as slaves. Taino cooking styles were mixed with ideas brought by the Spanish and Africans to create new dishes. The Spanish extended food choices by bringing cattle, pigs, goats, and sheep to the island. Africans also added to the island's food culture by introducing powerful, contrasting tastes in dishes. In fact, much of the food Puerto Rico is now famous for - coffee, coconuts, and oranges - was actually imported by foreigners to the island.A common assumption many people make about Puerto Rican food is that it is very spicy(辛辣的). lt's true that chili peppers are popular; aij caballero in particular is a very hot chili pepper that Puerto Ricans enjoy. However, milder(微辣的) tastes are popular too, such as sofrito. As the base of many Puerto Rican dishes, sofrito is a sauce made from chopped onions, green bell peppers, sweet chili peppers, and a handful of other spices. It is fried in oil and then added to other dishes.16.Who lived in Puerto Rico first?A.The Taino peopleB.The AfricansC.The SpanishD.The Americans17.In the first paragraph the word “it” refers toA.immigrationB.Puerto Rican cuisineC.Caribbean historyD.the island’s natural beauty18.What is the main idea of the second paragraph?A.Taino dishes are important in Puerto Rican cookingB.Puerto Rican cooking has many outside influencesC.Food imported by foreign ers isn’t really Puerto RicanD.African foods have probably had the most influence19.How is sofrito used?A.It is eaten before mealsB.It is added to other dishesC.It is used when foods are too spicyD.It is eaten as a main dish20.Which of the following is NOT true?A.Many people think Puerto Rican food is spicyB.Puerto Rican cuisine uses a lot of chili peppersC.Softito is a type of extremely spicy foodD.Aij caballero is a type of chile pepperPart IV Cloze (10 points)Directions: For each blank in the following passages there are four words or phrases marked (A) ( B) (C) and (D).

After each passage, there are four questions for you to answer, please mark your answers on your answer sheet.Passage OneA great deal of attention is being paid today to the so-called digital divide—the division of the world into the info (information) rich and the info poor. And that divide does exist today. My wife and I lectured about this looming danger twenty years ago. What was less visible then, however, were the new, positive forces that work against the digital divide. There are reasons to be optimistic.There are technological reasons to hope the digital divide will narrow. As the Internet becomes more and more commercialized, it is in the interest of business to universalize access—after all, the more people online, the more potential customers there are. More and more governments, afraid their countries will be left behind, want to spread Internet access. Within the next decade or two, one to two billion people on the planet will be netted together. As a result, I now believe the digital divide will narrow rather than widen in the years ahead. And that is very good news because the Internet may well be the most powerful tool for combating world poverty that we’ve ever had.Of course, the use of the Internet isn’t the only way to defeat poverty. And the Internet is not the only tool we have. But it has enormous potential.To take advantage of this tool, some impoverished countries will have to get over their outdated anti-colonial prejudices with respect to foreign investment. Countries that still think foreign investment is an invasion of their sovereignty might well study the history of infrastructure (the basic structural foundations of a society) in the United States. When the United States built its industrial infrastructure, it didn’t have the capital to do so. And that is why America’s Second Wave infrastructure—including roads, harbors, highways, ports and so on—were built with foreign investment. The English, the Germans, the Dutch and the French were investing in Britain’s former colony. They financed them. Immigrant Americans built them. Guess who owns them now? The Americans. I believe the same thing would be true in places like Brazil or anywhere else for that matter. The more foreign capital you have helping you build your Third Wave infrastructure, which today is an electronic infrastructure, the better off you’re going to be. That doesn’t mean lying down and becoming fooled, or letting foreign corporations run uncontrolled. But it does mean recognizing how important they can be in building the energy and telecom infrastructures needed to take full advantage of the Internet.41. Digital divide is something ________.[A] getting worse because of the Internet[B] the rich countries are responsible for[C] the world must guard against[D] considered positive today42. Governments attach importance to the Internet because it ________.[A] offers economic potentials[B] can bring foreign funds[C] can soon wipe out world poverty[D] connects people all over the world43. The writer mentioned the case of the United States to justify the policy of ___________.[A] providing financial support overseas[B] preventing foreign capital’s control[C] building industrial infrastructure[D] accepting foreign investment44. It seems that now a country’s economy depends much on ________.[A] how well-developed it is electronically[B] whether it is prejudiced against immigrants[C] whether it adopts America’s industrial pattern[D] how much control it has over foreign corporationsPassage TwoWhen we accept the evidence of our unaided eyes and describe the Sun as a yellow star, we have summed up the most important single fact about it at this moment in time.It appears probable, however, that sunlight will be the color we know for only a negligible small part of the Sun’s history.Stars, like individuals, age and change. As we look out into space, we see around us stars of all stages of evolution. There are faint bloodred dwarfs so cool that their surface temperature is a mere 4,000 degrees Fahrenheit; there are searing ghosts blazing at 100,000 degrees Fahrenheit and almost too hot to be seen, for the great part of their radiation is in the invisible ultraviolet range. Obviously, the “daylight” produced by any star depends on its temperature; today (and for ages to come) our Sun is at about 10,000 degrees Fahrenheit, and this means that most of the Sun’s lig ht is concentrated in the yellow band of the spectrum, falling slowly in intensity toward both the longer and shorter light waves.That yellow “hump” will shift as the Sun evolves, and the light of day will change accordingly. It is natural to assume that as the Sun grows older, and uses up its hydrogen fuel---which it is now doing at the spanking rate of half a billion tons a second---it will become steadily colder and redder.45. What is the passage mainly about?[A] Faint dwarf stars[B] The evolutionary cycle of the Sun[C] The Sun’s fuel problem[D]The dangers of invisible radiation46. What does the author say is especially important about the Sun at the present time?[A] It appears yellow.[B] It always remains the same.[C] It has a short history.[D]It is too cold.47. Why are very hot stars referred to as “ghosts”?[A] They are short-lived.[B] They are mysterious.[C] They are frightening[D]They are nearly invisible.48. According to the passage, as the Sun continues to age, it is likely to become what color?[A] Yellow. [B] Violet. [C] Red. [D]White.Passage ThreeOne of the most important social developments that helped to make possible a shift in thinking about the role of public education was the effect of the baby boom of the 1950’s and the 1960’s on the schools. In the 1920’s, but especially in the Depression conditions of 1930’s, the United States experienced a declining birth rate---every thousand women aged fifteen to forty-four gave birth to about 118 live children in 1920, 89.2 in 1930, 75.8 in 1936, and 80 in 1940. With the growing prosperity brought about by the Second World War and the economic boom that followed it, young people married and established households earlier and began to raise larger families than had their predecessors during the Depression. Birth rates rose to 102 per thousand in 1946, 106.2 in 1950 and 118 in 1955. Although economics was probably the most important determinant, it is not the only explanation for the baby boom. The increased value placed on the idea of the family also helps to explain this rise in birth rates. The baby boomers began streaming into the first grade by the mid-1940’s and became a flood by 1950. The public school system suddenly found itself overtaxed. While the number of school children rose because of wartime and postwar conditions, these same conditions made the schools even less prepared to cope with the flood. The wartime economy meant that few new schools were built between 1940 and 1945. Moreover, during the war and in the boom times that followed, large number of teachers left their profession for better-paying jobs elsewhere in the economy.Therefore, in the 1950’s and 1960’s, the baby boom hit an antiquated and inadequate school system. Consequently, the “Custodial rhetoric” of the 1930’s and early 1940’s no longer make sense; that is, keeping youths aged sixteen and older out of the labor market by keeping them in school could no longer be a high priority for an institution unable to find space and staff to teach younger children aged five to sixteen. With the baby boom, the focus of educators and of laymen interested in education inevitably turned toward the lower grades and back to basic academic skills and discipline. The system no longer had much interest in offering non-traditional, new, and extra services to older youths.49.What does the passage mainly discuss?[A] the teaching profession during the baby boom[B] birth rates in the United States in the 1930’s and 1940’s[C] the impact of the baby boom on public education[D] the role of the family in the 1950’s and 1960’s50.The word “it” in line 15 refers to _____.[A] 1995 [B] economics[C] the baby boom [D] value51.The word “overtaxed” in line 18 is closest in meaning to _____.[A] well prepared [B] plentifully supplied[C] heavily burdened [D] charged too much52.The public schools of the 1950’s and 1960’s faced all of the following problemsEXCEPT________.[A] a declining number of students[B] old-fashioned facilities[C] a shortage of teachers[D] an inadequate number of buildingsPassage FourAfter e-mail, people spend the most time on-line searching for stuff. Whether they are seeking for information, entertainment, people, or products to buy, their first click after landing at a web site is usually the search button. An easily searchable on-line catalog is what started Amazon Com Inc. on the road to stardom. Ebay Inc. would still be an amazing on-line garage sale if its front-and-center search engine could not zero in on that one rare Disney movie story. But too many web sites ignored those lessons, relegating their search button to tiny boxes on the bottom of the pages and not keeping up with the latest research technology.That is huge mistake---and many e-commerce companies are paying the price. Even as they struggle to attract the keep customers, sites that ignore the importance of search are losing sales without realizing it. Market researcher Jupiter found that 80% of on-line users will abandon a site if the search function does not work well. Another researcher says: “You could make a case that the main reason e-commerce is unprofitable is that the power of search had been overlooked. ”At the same time, a good search capacity can help turn that situation around. Another market watcher, Forrest Research Inc., notes that more than half of on-line buyers use search to find products---and the better the search tools, the more they buy. That’s what Ebay, where buyers and sellers make an average of 30 million searches a day, has found whenever it has improved its search feature.The thing is, any e-commerce site can get the same results if it makes an effort. Search technology is continuing to improve at a fairly rapid clip, offering more accurate results. Google Inc., for instance, has become the web surfer’s search engine of choice. That’s thanks to software that tallies the number of links to pages containing the chosen keywords, returning remarkably useful results. This is not the end of search innovation. Ebay chose Fast Search & Transfer for its new search technology because it delivers ultra-fast updates of the latest auction postings and bids.Much of the improvement can come from simpler means: playing up the search function and designing the site to take advantage of it. One thing that should be dead obvious but clearly isn’t: the search box shouldn’t require a search engine to find it. It is equally important to avoid designing search capabilities that take things too literally. All too often, misspellings bring up zero results. Web sites can program their search engines to respond to common misspellings.Most challenging, e-commerce sites must open up their private product databases to public search engines. That way, shoppers can find their products without having to know the web site address. But t he company’s techies (技术人员) must be more open than they are used to be. “There are a lot of concerns about what they consider proprietary data,” says Google Executive Eric E Schmidt.Not all of these improvements are easy to achieve. They often require rebuilding the site and rewrite entire database to keep search in mind. That cost is tough to justify when it is so difficult topeg (确定) increased customer purchases on a site to search improvements. But unless e-commerce companies wise up and make the extra effort, even more of their employees will need to search for something else: new jobs.53.What’s the key factor influencing people’s behaviors on the Net?[A] The cost of surfing.[B] The content of the web site.[C] The convenience of surfing.[D]The speed of searching54. Which of the following is TRUE when Ebay strengthens its search function?[A] There is no obvious difference.[B] The transactions increase rapidly.[C] The prices of goods go down gradually.[D]The bids become less competitive55.Which one is NOT the reaso n for people’s failure in search?[A] They don’t know the web site address.[B] They make misspellings often..[C] They cannot find search button easily.[D]They have no patience when searching56.What’s people main concern when using a public engine?[A] It will increase the operation cost.[B] It will have a high demand in dealing with data[C] It will leak confidential information.[D]It will lose potential customersPassage FiveThe term “virus” is derived from the Latin word for poison, or slime. It w as originally applied to the noxious stench emanating from swamps that was thought to causes a variety of diseases in the centuries before microbes were discovered and specifically linked to illness. But it was not until almost the end of the nineteenth century that a true virus was proven to be the cause of a disease.The nature of virus made them impossible to detect for many years even after bacteria had been discovered and studied. Not only are viruses too small to be seen with a light microscope, they also cannot be detected through their biological activity, except as it occurs in conjunction with other organisms. In fact, viruses show no traces of biological activity by themselves. Unlike bacteria, they are not living agents in the strictest sense. Viruses are very simple pieces of organic material composed only of nuclei acid, either DNA or RNA, enclosed in a coat of protein made up of simple structural units. (Some viruses also contain carbohydrates and lipids.) They are parasites, requiring human, animal, or plant cells to live. The virus replicates by attaching to a cell and injecting its nuclei acid. Once inside the cell, the DNA or RNA that contains the virus’ genetic information takes over the cell’s biological machinery, and the cell begins to m anufacture viral proteins rather than its own.57.Which of the following is the best title for the passage?[A] Developments in Viral Research[B] Exploring the Causes of Disease[C] DNA: Nature’s Building Block[D]Understanding Viruses58.Before microbes were discovered it was believed that some diseases were caused by ________.[A] germ-carrying insects[B] certain strains of bacteria[C] foul odors released from swaps[D]slimy creatures living near swamps59.The word “nature” in line 6 is closest in meaning to which of the following?[A] self-sufficiency [B] Shapes[C] Characteristics [D]Speed60.The author implies that bacteria were investigated earlier than viruses because[A] Bacteria are easier to detect[B] bacteria are harder to eradicate[C] viruses are extremely poisonous[D] viruses are only found in hot climatesPart III: ClozeDirections: Choose the best answer for each blank in the following passage from the choices given afterwards.1 day, 12 years ago, Joe Royds took a pony (矮马) called Jupiter along to __2 center for mentally handicapped children and, with his wife, Felicity, started to give the children rides.

Reading comprehension: 20%Passage 1：A consumer walks into a store. He stands in front of hundreds of boxes of lanundry detergent. He chooses one brand, pays for it, and leaves. Why does he pick that specific kind of soap? Is it truly better than the others? Probably not. These days, many products are nearly identical to one another in quality and price. If products are almost the same, what makes consumers buy one brand instead of another? Although we might not like to admit it, commerials on television and advertisements in magazines probaly influence us much more than we think they do.Advertising ingorms consumers about new products available on the market. It gives us information about everything from shampoo to toothpaste to computers and cars. But there is one pro blem with us. The “information” is actually very often misinformation. It tells us the products’ benfits but hides their diadvantaes. Advertising not only leads us to buy things that we don’t need and can’t afford, but also confuses our sense of reality. “Zoom toothpaste prevents cavities and gives yu white teeth!” the advertisement tells us. But it doesn’t tell us the complete truth: that a healthy diet and a good toothbrush will have the same effect.Advertisers use many methods to get us to buy their products. One of their most sucessful show us who we aren’t and what we don’t have. Our teeth aren’t white enough. Our hair isn’t shiny enough our clothes aren’t clean enough. Advertisements make us afraid that people won’t like us if we don’t use the adve rtised products. “Why don’t I have any dates?” an attractive young woman sadly asks in a commercial. “Here,” replies her roommate, “try Zoom toothpaste!” of course she tries it, and immediately the whole football team falls in live with her. “That’s a stup id commercial,” we might say. But we still buy Zoom toothpaste out of being unpopular and having no friends. If fear is the negative motive for buying a product, then wanting a good image is the positive reason for choosing it. Each of us has a mental picture of the kind of person we would like to be. For example, a modern young woman might like to think that she looks like a beautiful movie star. A middle-aged man might want to see himself as a strong attractive athlete. Advertisers know this. They write specific ads to make certain groups of people choose their product. Two people may choose different brands of toothpaste with the identical price, amount, and quality; wach person believes that he or she is expressing his personality by choosing that brand.Advertisers get psychologists to stufy the way consumers think and their reasons for choosing one brand instead of another. These experts tell advertisers about the motives of fear and self-image. They also inform them about recent studies with colors and words. Psychologists heve found that certain colors on the package of an attractive product will cause people to reach out and take that package instead of buying an identical product with different dolors. Also, certain words attract our attention. Fo r example, the words “new”, “improve,” “natural,” and“giant size” are very popular and seem to draw our eyes and hands toward the package.Many people believe that advertising does not affect them. They feel that the have freedom of choice, and they like to think they make wise choices. Unfortunately, they probably don’t realize the powerful effect of advertising. They may not clearly undrstand that advertisers spend billions of dollars each year in aggressive competition for our money, and they are extremely successful. Do you believe that ads don’t influence your choice of products? Just look at the brands in your kitchen and bathroom.1. Advertising______.A. informs us everything about some products.B. doesn’t influence us very much.C. is always stupid.D. doesn’t always tell us everything about a product.2. Which of the following is NOT the reason for a person to buy a product?A. He or she is satisfied with himself or herself.B. He or she has the need for a good self-image.C. The colors on the package.D. Certain words on the package.3. Advertisers ____ to make us buy products.A. employ very low pricesB. get information from psychologistsC try to make us feel good D. need to use better package4. Psychologists tell advertisers____.A. which brands of toothpaste to produceB. to stop influencing shoppersC. about people’s motives for buyingD. how much money to spend on television commercials5. Which of the following is true according to the passage?A. advertising influences us to buy one kind of product instead of another.B. “The psychology of selling” is an important course in many business colleges.C. If you use Zoom toothpaste there will be no more problems in your life.D. Advertisements always provides us with important infromation about products. Passage 2：Although the possibility of living a long and happy life nowadays is greater than ever before, every day we witness the incredible killing on the roads. Man versus the motorcar ! It is a never ending battle which man is losing .It has been rightly said that when a man is sitting behind a steering wheel, his car becomes the extension of his personality, which often undoubtedly brings out a man’s very worst qualities. Normally quiet and pleasant people may become unrecognizable when they are behind a steering wheel. They swear; they areill-mannered and aggressive, willful as two-year-olds and utterly selfish. All their hidden frustrations, disappointments and jealousies seem to be brought to the surface by the act of driving .The surprising thing is that society smiles on the motorist and seems to tolerate his behavior. Everything is done for his convenience . Cities are allowed to become almost uninhabitable because of heavy traffic; towns are made ugly by huge car parks; and the mass annual death becomes nothing more than a statistic, to be conveniently forgotten .It is high time a world code were created to reduce this senseless waste of human life. With regard to driving, the laws of some countries are extremely loose and even the strictest are not strict enough. A code which was universally accepted could only have a dramatically beneficial effect on the accident rate .Here are a few examples that might be done. The driving test should be standardized and made far more difficult than it is ; all the drivers should be made to take a test every three years or so ; the age at which young people are allowed to drive any vehicle should be raised to at least 21; all vehicles should be put through annual tests for safety. Present drinking and driving laws should be made much stricter. Maximum and minimum speed limits should be imposed on all roads. Governments should lay down safety specifications for manufacturers, as has been done in theU.S.A. All advertising stressing power and performance should be banned, These measures may sound terribly harsh. But remember: the world is for human beings, not motorcars.6.The main idea of this passage is _____.A. traffic accidents are mainly caused by motoristsB. thousands of people the world over are killed each yearC. the laws of some countries about driving are too looseD. stricter traffic laws should be made to prevent accidents7. What does the author think is society’s attitude toward mot orists ?A. Society laughs at motorists.B. Society tolerates their rude driving.A.Society imposes a lot of restrictions on motorists.D. Society encourages motorists to behave themselves8.What does the author mean when he says “his car becomes the extension of his personality”(Line 1-2 , Para.2 ) ?A. Driving can show his real self.B. Driving can show the best part of his personality.C. Driving can bring out his characters.D. His car only displays the dark side of his temper.9.Which of the following is NOT mentioned as a way against traffic accidents?A. Testing drivers every three years.B.
