She started talking and communicating in all three languages before she lost her sight but adapted quickly to her blindness. By the age of four, she was reading and writing in the Braille (盲文). When she was six, Alexia began to learn Chinese. The girl is now learning German at school in Cambridge.Alexia has been longing to be an interpreter since she was six and she chose to go to the European Parliament as her prize when she won a young achiever of the year award. She asked if she could shadow interpreters and Mr. Sturdy agreed to take her along as his guest.Alexia worked with the head of interpreting and had a real taster of life in parliament. “It was fantastic and I’m absolutely determined now to become an interpreter,” she said.36.

The tone of the passage can be best described as ______.A. criticalB. admiringC. understandingD. doubtfulPassage TwoGenerations of Americans have been brought up to believe that a good breakfast is essential to one’s life. Eating breakfast at the start of the day, we have been told, and told again, is as necessary as putting gasoline in the family car before starting a trip. But for many people, the thought of food as the first thing in the morning is never a pleasure. So despite all the efforts, they still take no breakfast.Between 1977 and 1983, the latest year for which figures could be obtained, the number of people who didn’t have breakfast increased by 33%-from 8.8 million to 11.7 million—according to the Chicago-based Market Research corporation of America. For those who dislike eating breakfast, however, there is some good news.Several studies in the last few years have shown that, for adults especially, there may be nothing wrong with omitting breakfast. “Going without breakfast does not affect work,”said Arnold E. Bender, former professor of nutrition at Queen Elizabeth College in London, “nor does giving people breakfast improve work.”Scientific evidence linking breakfast to better health or better work is surprisingly inadequate (不充分的), and most of the recent work involves children, not adults. “The literature,” says one researcher, Dr. Earnest Polite at the University of Texas, “is poor.”40. Which of these is mentioned in the second paragraph?A. The number of the people who skip breakfast has increased.B. Many people fill their cars with gasoline in the morning.C. 8.8 million people got involved in a study on eating habits.D. A company carried out a research in 1983.A. Having breakfast does not improve work, either.B. Giving people breakfast improves work.C. Going without breakfast can improve work, too.D. Having breakfast does improve work.42. What does the word “literature” in the last sentence refer to?A. Modern American literature.B. Any printed materials.C. Written works on a subject.D. Stories, poems and plays.43. Which of the following statements best summarizes the writer’sconclusion about the function of breakfast?A. Omitting breakfast helps improve work.B. Eating breakfast is absolutely necessary.C. Scientists have produced sufficient evidence in support ofbreakfast.D. There isn’t strong evidence to prove that breakfast is a must.person.48. What can be learned from Paragraph 1?A. People from a mobile society dislike talking about personalaffairs.B. Short-term relationships are common in a mobile society.C. Americans tend to make more friends than people from othercultures.D. It is difficult for Americans and Australians to communicatewith strangers.49. Who do Malaysians prefer to start business with according tothe passage?A. Those who talk a lot about themselves.B. Those who they know well enough.C. Those who enjoy talking with strangers.D. Those who want to do business with them.50. Which of the following is true about the rules in “particular”societies?A. They change to fit different situations.B. People respect and obey them completely.C. They don’t exist.D. No one obeys them.51. What is the main idea of the passage?A. Polite behavior varies with different cultures.B. Less mobile societies have fewer rules.C. People from mobile societies are more polite.D. Cultural differences are important.Passage FiveClaude-Oscar Monet (1840-1926) was a French artist and a leading member of the Impressionist group of painters. Born in Paris, Monet spent his childhood in Le Havre. There he met a local artist, Eugene Boudin, who encouraged him to become a landscape painter.In 1859, Monet went to Paris to study at the Académie Suisse. Between 1860 and 1862, Monet served in the army in Algeria (阿尔及利亚). He returned to Paris where he met most of the major artists of the era.In 1870, Monet married Camille Doncieux. To escape the Franco-Prussian war, they moved to London. Back to France, they settled at Argenteuil, a boating centre on the Seine (塞纳河) which drew many other Impressionist painters. Working from nature was a particular symbol of the Impressionist movement, and one that Monet valued, reflecting in his paintings the ever-changing impact of light and weather conditions.In 1872, he visited Le Havre where he painted “An Impression, Sunrise”.When exhibited in 1874, part of its title was used by a critic to label the whole movement “Impressionism”.Monet’s wife died in 1879, and he set up home with Alice Hoschedé, the wife of one of his most important sponsors. During the 1880s, Monet travelled through France painting a variety of landscapes. He gradually became better known and for the last 30 years of his life he was regarded as the greatest of the Impressionists.From 1890 he began to paint a series (系列) of pictures of one subject, including “Haystacks”, “Rouen Cathedral”and “Waterlilies”, The latter were painted in the fine garden Monet created at his house at Giverny, where he lived from 1883 on. He painted them over and over again, most significantly in a series especially for a museum in Paris.52. Monet was introduced to art ______.A. by an artist in his childhoodB. by his father in Le HavreC. during his short stay in AlgeriaD. during his visit to Paris53. Which of the following is true according to the passage?A. Impressionism was born in London.B. Monet was one of the sponsors of Impressionism.C. Argenteuil was the birthplace of many impressionists.D. Impressionist paintings are mainly based on nature.54. What is said about the painting “An Impression, Sunrise”?A. It established Monet’s fame as an artist for the first time.B. It invited a lot of strong criticism from the public.C. It was painted by Monet and Eugene Boudin.D. It was the origin of the name “Impressionism”.55. What do we know about Monet’s life since 1890?A. He painted only for a museum in Paris.B. He devoted himself to travelling overseas.C. He was influenced by Alice in his painting style.D. He focused on paintings of a particular theme.V.

For each of them there are four choices marked A,B,C and D.You should decide on the best choice and then mark the corresponding letter on the ANSWER SHEET.Passage OneMy love of nature goes right back to my childhood,to the times when I stayed on my grandparent’s farm in Suffolk.I think it was my grandmother who encouraged me more than anyone：she taught me the names of wildflowers and got me interested in looking at the countryside,so it seemed obvious to go on to do Zoology at university.I didn’t get my first camera until after I’d graduated,when I was due to go diving in Norway and needed a method of recording the sea creatures I would find there.My father didn’t know anything about photography,but he bought me an Exacta,which was really quite a good camera for the time,and I went off to take my first pictures of sea anemones(海葵)andstarfish(海星).I became keen very quickly,and I learnt how to develop and print.I’ve tried from the beginning to produce pictures which are always biologically correct.There are people who will alter things deliberately:you don’t pick up sea creatures from the middle of the shore and take them down to attractive pools at thebottom of the shore without knowing you’re doing it.There can be a lot of ignorance in people’s behavior towards wild animals and it’s a problem that more and more people are going to wild places:while some animals may get used to cars,they won’t get used to people suddenly rushing up to them.The sheer pressure of people,coupled with the fact there are increasingly few places where no one else has photographed,means that over the years,life has become much more difficult for the professional wildlife photographers.Nevertheless,wildlife photographers play a very important part in educating people about what is out there and what needs conserving.Although photography can be an enjoyable pastime,as it is to many people,it is also something that plays a very important part in educating young and old alike.31.The author decided to go to university and study Zoology because.A.she wanted to improve her life in the countrysideB.she was persuaded to do so by her grandmotherC.she was keen on the natural worldD.she wanted to stop moving around all the time32.How is the author different from some of the other wildlife photographers she meets?.A.She tries to make her photographs as attractive as possibleB.She takes photographs which record accurate natural conditionsC.She likes to photograph plants as well as wildlife.D.She knows the best places to find wildlife.33.The author now finds it more difficult to photograph wild animals because.A.there are fewer of themB.they have become more nervous of peopleC.it is harder to find suitable placesD.they have become frightened of cars34.According to the author,wildlife photography is important because it can make people realize that.A.photography is an enjoyable hobbyB.we learn little about wildlife at schoolC.it is worthwhile visiting the countrysideD.it is important to look after wild animals35.Which of the following describes the author?.A.ProudB.SensitiveC.AggressiveD.DisappointedPassage TwoDuring the past few years,the popularization of the Internet,by lowering the cost of global communication to moderate levels,is leading to a near-perfect market for information.It has bred enterprises that grow and change with astonishing speed,creating millionaires and invigorating the economy.The Net has brought to even poor libraries a wealth of resources at very low cost.It has enabled individuals to speak in forums small and large,with an ease and fluency that would delight the founders of this nation,if they could see email,the World Wide Web,Usenet,and online chat.The tremendous good done by the popularization of the Internet has caused some problems,of course.Chief among these are a weakening of privacy,greater exposure for matters that most people would prefer were absent from society,such as hate speech and child pornography,and an increased risk of one’s children(or oneself)being confronted by an image or text that better might have been left unseen.The Internet has brought the entire world into the living room,but some people are finding that there are certain parts of the world they would prefer not to have anywhere in their home.An example that has become an everyday displeasure for many is junk email,also called“spam”.On a bad day,up to30％of the email processed by major Internet service providers is spam,much of it promoting sex sites and get rich quick schemes.Many people have had to abandon their email accounts,as they become filled with trash.Left unchecked,spam could spoil the great public good of the Internet.36.The popularization of the Internet may stimulate the prosperity of the economy in that.A.it provides information at high speed and low costB.it creates many chances for enterprisesC.it helps to encourage technical innovationsD.enterprises are growing quickly37.There is an increased risk for children with the popularization of the Internet because they are likely to.A.express their ideas freely while onlineB.be exposed to unhealthy informationC.make dangerous friends when chatting onlineD.confuse what is good with what is bad38.According to the passage,the Internet.A.shows us pictures of the world in the living roomB.brings us into contact with the current issues of the worldC.provides easy access to information from all over the worldD.enables us to keep in touch with anyone in the world39.Junk email is used as an example to demonstrate the Internet may.A.help people become millionaires quicklyB.bring great troubles to one’s lifeC.give excitement to peopleD.bring about an age of information40.What is the writer’s attitude toward the Internet?.A.ApprovingB.DisapprovingC.CriticalD.NeutralPassage ThreeTo Whom It May Concern,Scott Smith worked for me at XYZ Technologies for three years,as a senior technical instructor.I am writing this letter of recommendation to confirm that his recent layoff from XYZ was not in any way tied to his performance,and to highly recommend him as an employee with your organization.Had I been the choice,I would not have laid Scott off.But it was not my decision to make.XYZ decided to withdraw from the PC market, balance expenses with the anticipated reduction in sales revenue,and hire a consulting firm to evaluate long term staffing needs.As a result,XYZ drastically reduced the size of its workforce by dissolving the entire PC division, including the technical training department.Unfortunately,this major reorganization left no other position open for Scott. We regretfully had to let him go.Scott is a conscientious,highlyskilled technical instructor,worthy of at least a senior or management position.He has keen insight into the learning process,and is an expert in needs analysis,project management,course development, and classroom instruction.Scott’s in depth product knowledge,unique instructional techniques,and excellent people skills have consistently received admiring reviews from his students.Should conditions at XYZ change,I wouldn’t hesitate to hire him back.If you would like to speak to me about Scott’s skills,talents and work habits,feel free to call(123)555-0002or page me by dialing(123)555-0003.Sincerely,Mary Doe Vice President,Technical Services41.Mary Doe wrote this letter in order to.A.praise Scott Smith for his excellent workB.support Scott Smith’s job applicationC.promote Scott Smith to a higher positionD.look for a technical instructor like Scott Smith42.XYZ Technologies reduced the size of its workforce because.A.some departments did not work wellB.its sales revenue fell dramaticallyC.it is faced with serious financial problemD.it decided to give up the PC market43.Scott Smith has been laid off because of.A.the reorganization of XYZ TechnologiesB.his poor performance in technical workC.his poor physical and mental conditionD.the prejudice of the Vice President44.Which of the following might be the relationship between Scott Smith and Mary Doe?.A.Close friendsB.ColleaguesC.Employee and supervisorD.Student and instructor45.Which is NOT true about Scott Smith?.A.He gets along well with colleaguesB.His students admire him very muchC.He is good at project managementD.He is applying to a consulting firm for a jobPassage FourI used to go to Starbucks for their coffee,but that’s changed since I discovered their comforting,tasty teas,which are better than coffee any time,Tea is cool even when it's hot.People drink more tea than any other drink in the world, except for water.Whether it's served hot or cold,natural and flavored teas are drinks that have been consumed for centuries. Everywhere you look,you’ll find various kinds of teas-in restaurants,grocery stores,television advertisements,and gift shops.Why is there all this excitement about tea?What’s its attraction?Well,there are many possibilities for why more and more people are drinking tea.One possibility is that people are coming to notice the benefits of drinking tea, particularly green tea.Studies show that drinking four cups of green tea a day can reduce the risk of developing various types of cancers,as well as heart disease.The key to tea’s effects of cure seems to lie in chemicals found in tea which prevent a process that leads to the growth of cancers.Green tea may also prevent skin cancer.It has also been linked with helping the body to rid itself of harmful materials,and green tea is thought to possibly protect against colds and Parkinson(帕金森)disease.Another explanation for why people are drinking more tea may be due to the comforting process of just making a cup of tea.The time it takes to prepare tea leaves in hot water and enjoy its gentle flavor forces drinkers to slow down and relax a while,making it the perfect way to improve a world where people are so crazy about cappuccino,a hot coffee with milk in it.So,whether you drink tea,eat it in foods,wear it to smell good,or take it in pills,one thing is certain,the use of tea is more than a trend-it is a habit of our past and if studies prove the benefits of its use,it will undoubtedly be an important element of our future.46.Nowadays,among all the drinks in the world,tea is.A.the most widely consumed drinkB.as widespread as coffeeC.even more widely consumed than wuterD.the second most widely consumed drink47.The passage does not mention as a possible benefit of drinking tea.A.preventing skin cancerB.helping the body to rid itself of harmful materialsC.curing Parkinson’s diseaseD.reducing the risk of developing cancer48.It is good to drink tea because the time it takes to prepare a cup of tea.A.allows the tea leaves to absorb enough waterB.enables drinkers to relaxC.is suitable for people to get some newsD.can improve the quality of cappuccino49.The writer suggests that in the future people will probably.A.follow the trend and go on drinking teaB.drink more water than teaC.form the habit of eating tea leaves in foodsD.take tea as an important part of their life50.The passage is mainly about.A.the benefits of drinking teaB.the benefits of drinking coffeeing tea leaves in fortune tellingD.advising people to drink tea and waterPartⅢCloze(1×20)Directions:There are20blanks in the following passage.For each blank there are four choices marked A,B,C and D.You should choose the ONE that best fits into the passage and mark the corresponding letter on the ANSWER SHEET.Effective communication with people of different cultures is especially challenging,Cultures51People with ways of thinking-ways of seeing,hearing,and interpreting the world.Thus the same words can52different thing to peoplefrom different cultures,even when they talk the“same”language.When the languages are different,and translation has to be used to communicate,the53for misunderstandings increase.Stella Ting-Toomey describes three ways in which culture54with effective cross-cultural understanding.First is what she55“cognitive”constraints(认知约束).These are the world56that provide a situation that all new information is compared to or inserted into.Second are“57constraints”.Each culture has its own rules about proper behavior which58verbal and nonverbal communication.Whether one person_59the other person in the eye or not is one thing that varies from one culture to the next.Whether one says what one means publicly or talks60the issue is another.How close the people stand to each other when they are talking is a third.All of these and many more are61of politeness which differ from culture to culture.Ting-Toomey's third62is"emotional constraints".Different cultures63the diaply of emotion differently.Some cultures get very emotional when they are debating a(n)64.They yell,they cry,they exhibit their anger,fear,frustration, and other feelings openly.Other cultures try to keep their emotions65.They exhibit or share only the"rational"or factual66of the situation.All of these differences tend to67to communication problems.If the people68are not aware of the potential for such problems,they are even more likely to fall victim to them.Even so,it takes more than69to overcome these problems and communicate effectively across cultures.It also takes patience and70to bridge the sometimes large differences between

Each passage is followed by some questions or incomplete statements. For each of them there are 4 choices marked A, B, C and D. Y ou should decide on the best choice, and mark the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet.Passage1Many post -80s couples are complaining that going to the movies, shopping or attending parties have become impossible since their kids were born. That's the way most parents are living their lives, no weekends of their own, no time to visit friends, not even a chance of promotion in their jobs.Asking help from their parents might be a way out,but problems are that some aging parents arc not strong enough to take care of the kids, and that the kids may also become too spoiled by their grandparents.Then, here comes a solution: families with kids can form a small group, and parents of each family can take turns to look after all the kids in this group on weekends. Thus, other parents can have some quiet time and feel freeto do something they've been planning for a long time. At the same time, the kids can make new friends and won' t be hanging around their parents all day long. This is baby -pooling.61.Many post -80s couples can't go to the movies, shop or attend parties because_____.A .they have to look after their kids B. they have to look after their parentsC. they are busy with their workD. they have no money62.In paragraph 2,“ a way out” means. ______A. out of dateB. a solutionC. without questionD. a complaint63.According to the last paragraph, the solution to the problem of post-80s couples isthat _____ .A. families with kids form a small groupB. they ask their aging parents for helpC. they give up their jobsD. they lake their kids wherever they go64.What is( are) the advantage(s) of baby -pooling?A.The parents can have much more free time.B.The kids can make new friends.C.The kids won't be hanging around their parents all day long.D. All of the above.65.The passage mainly discusses _____ ?A. post -80s couples and their friendsB. post-80s couples and baby-poolingC. post-80s couples and their parentsD. kids and their grandparentsPassage2It is a terrible illustration of man ' s weakness to nature .and the tsunami(^^) that struck the Japanese coast in March. 2011 has illustrated the difficulty of fighting against natural disasters, even for a prosperous nation.Totally preventing tsunami -damage is impossible. But there is much that can be done to minimize damage and loss of life. Measures that can be taken include designing solid buildings, and developing early-warming systems, public education programs and evacuation( 拔散） strategics.Moreover, the approach of a tsunami is possibly picked up by the sensors of complicated international warming systems. Countries can use radio and television broadcasts as well as loudspeaker networks to warn the public.But an early warming system depends on how far the tsunami strikes, if it's close by, the warning system is not going to be very effective. When people are faced with an unstoppable force like a tsunami the massive waves created by events like underwater earthquakes, the best course of action for them is lo get inland and to the higherground as quickly as possible.66.The first paragraph tells us that _____ .A.man can easily defeat the natureB.tsunamis take place only in JapanC.man's ability to cope with natural disasters is limitedD.the tsunami- damage in Japan is not so terrible67.To prevent tsunami -damage, the following measures can be taken EXCEPT______A.designing firm buildings、B.developing early -warning systemsC.developing evacuation strategicsD.keeping the public unaware of the seriousness of tsunamis68.According to the passage , which of the following can cause a tsunami_____?A. Storms.B. Massive waves.C. Underwater earthquakes.D. Floods69.When a tsunami happens, the best course of action for people is to_____.A.listen to radio and television broadcasts for informationB.get inland and to the higher ground as quickly as possibleC.stay where they areD.rely on the warning systemsPassage 3Global warming is causing more than 300,000 deaths and about $125 billion in economic losses each year, according to a report by the Global Humanitarian Forum, an organization led by Annan, the former United Nations secretary general.The report, to be released Friday,analyzed data and existing studies of health, disaster,population and economic trends. It found that human-influenced climate change was raising the global death rates from illnesses including malnutrition( 营养不良）and heal-related health problems.But even before its release, the report drew criticism from some experts on climate and risk,who questioned its methods and conclusions.Along with the deaths, the report said that the lives of 325 million people, primarily in poor countries, were being seriously affected by climate c hange. It projected that the number would double by 2030.Roger Pielke Jr.a political scientist at the University of Colorado,Boulder,who studies disaster trends, said the Forum's report was “ amethodological embarrassment”because there was no way to distinguish deaths or economic losses related to h uman-driven global warming amid the much larger losses resulting from the growth in populations and economic development in vulnerable( 易受伤害的)regions.Dr. Pielke said that“climate change is an important problem requiring our utmost attention.“ But the report, he said,''will harm the cause for action on both climate change and disasters because it is so deeply flawed ( 有瑕疵的 ). ”However, Soren Andreasen, a social scientist at Dalberg Global Development Partners who supervised the writing of the report,defended it, saying that it was clear that the numbers were rough estimates. He said the report was aimed at world leaders, who will meet in Copenhagen in December to negotiate a new international climate treaty.In a press release describing the report, Mr. Annan stressed the need for the negotiations to focus on increasing the flow of money from rich to poor regions to help reduce their vulnerability to climate hazards whilestill curbing the emissions of the heat -trapping gases. More than 90% of the human and economic losses from climate change arc occurring in poor countries, according to the report.71.What is the finding of the Global Humanitarian Forum?A. Global temperatures affect the rate of economic development.B.Rates of death from illnesses have risen due to global warming.C.Malnutrition has caused serious health problems in poor countries.D.Economic trends have to do with population and natural disasters.72.What do we learn about the Forum's report from the passage?A.It was challenged by some climate and risk experts.B.It aroused a lot of interest in the scientific circles.C.It was warmly received by environmentalists.D.It caused a big stir in developing countries.73.What does Dr. Pielke say about the Forum's report?A.Its statistics look embarrassing.B.It is invalid in terms of methodology.C.It deserves our closest attention.D.Its conclusion is purposely exaggerated.74.What is Soren Andreasen’ s view of the report?A. Its conclusions are based on carefully collected data.B. It is vulnerable to criticism if the statistics are closely examined.C. It will give rise to heated discussions at the Copenhagen conference.D. Its rough estimates arc meant to draw the attention of world leaders.75.What does Kofi Annan say should be the focus of the Copenhagen conference?A.How rich and poor regions can share responsibility in curbing global warming.B.How human and economic losses from climate change can be reduced.C.How emissions of heat -trapping gases can be reduced on a global scale.D.How rich countries can better help poor regions reduce climate hazards.Passage 4Reaching new peaks of popularity in North America is Iceberg Water, which is harvested from icebergsoff the coast of Newfoundland, Canada.Arthur von Wiesenberger, who carries the title Water Master, is one of the few water critics in North America. As a boy, he spent time in the larger cities of Italy, France and Switzerland,where bottled wateris consumed daily. Even then, he kept a water journal, noting the brands he liked best“ my dog could tell the difference between bottled and tap water,” He says.But is plain tap water all that bad? Not at all. In fact. New York's municipal water for morethan a century was called the champagne of lap water and until recently considered among the best in the world interms of both taste and purity. Similarly, a magazine in England found that tap water from the ThamesRiver tasted better than several leading brands of bottled water that were400 times more expensive.Nevertheless, soft-drink companies view bottled water as the next battle -ground for marketshare-this despite the fact that over 25 percent of bottled water comes from tap water: PepsiCo's Aquafina andCoca-Cola's Dasani arc both purified tap water rather than spring water.As diners thirst for leading brands, bottlers and restaurateurs salivate( 垂涎 )over the profits.A restaurant's typical mark -up on wine is 100 to 150 percent, whereas on bottled water it's often300 to 500 percent. But since water is much cheaper than wine, and many of the fancier brandsaren't available in stores, most diners don't notice or care.As a result, some restaurants are turning up the pressure to sen bottled water.According toan article in The Street Journal, some of the more shameless tactics include placing attractive bottleson the table for a visual sell, listing brands on the menu without prices, and pouring bottled water without even asking the diners if they want it.Regardless of how it’ s sold,the popularity of bottled whaler taps into our desire for better health, our wish to appear cultivated, and even a longing for lost purity.76.What do we know about Iceberg Water from the passage?A.lt is a kind of iced water.B.It is just plain tap water.C .It is a kind of bottled water.D .It is a kind of mineral water.77.By saying“ My dog could tell the difference between bottled and tap water (Line 4 Para2),V on Wiesenberger wants to convey the message that_____?A .plain tap whaler is certainly unfit for drinkingB .bottled water is clearly superior to tap waterC.bottled water often appeals more to dogs tasteD.dogs can usually detect a fine difference in taste78.The-fancier brands (Line 3 Para 5) refers to____.A.tap water from the Thames RiverB.famous wines not sold in ordinary storesC.PepsiCo's Aquafina and Coca -Cola's DasaniD.expensive bottled water with impressive names79.Why are some restaurants turning up the pressure to sell bottled water?A. Bottled water brings in huge profits.B. Competition from the wine industry is intense.C. Most diners find bottled water affordable.D.Bottled water satisfied diners' desire to fashionable.80.According to passage, why is bottled whaler so popular?A. It is much cheaper than wine.B.It is considered healthier.C. lt appeals to more cultivated people.D. It is more widely promoted in the market.Part Ⅰ Translation( 2 x 10 )Directions: There are10 sentences in this section.

Cole, the daughter of famous singer Nat King Cole, has made aname for herself in music.Along with her great success, however, Natalie Cole has lived in a world ofdrugs crime, and failed marriages.“ I have been to hell and back,” she says.In the book Angel on My Shoulder, Cole gives us an honest look at the difficult path she has taken, sharing, as well, her successful recovery.“ Where I’m now helps me to look back on my life and realize that I’ve really had quite a colorful and rich life”, she says “ I really could have turned out to be a different person.”As the second daughter of Maria and Nat King Cole, Natalie had as normal a childhood as was possible for a little girl whose father spent much of his timeaway from home. With hopes of one day becoming a doctor, she left her family inLos Angeles to attend a boarding school on the east coast. But when she was 14, she received some terrible news: her father was dying of lung cancer. Less than two months later, in 1965, Nat King Cole died at the age of 47.During her college years at Amherst, Cole began to experiment with drugs, though they didn’t stop her from joining a musi c group. She played in small clubs on the east coast, using drugs more and more frequently.Without enough money to pay the bills and to support her drug habit, Cole turned to stealing and got into trouble with the law. Eventually, she became so badly affected by the drugs that she decided to quiet on the spot.She says it was a miracle-the work of an angel on her shoulder. Her drug habit kicked, Natalie’s career really began to take off. Only two years after being arrested and almost dying because of drugs, Cole first record won two Grammies. In 1976, she married Marvin Yancy, her songwriter and producer. They soon had a son, Robbie, and Cole’s life really seemed to be coming together.“ Marriage to Marvin and Robbie, was like a breath of pure, fresh air” she says. “ I was with a man whom I loved and who loved me... we were just so close.”Sadly, the marriage wouldn’t last. After four years of being drug-free, Cole was once again using. In 1983, Cole checked herself into a recovery program, and was finally able to mend the wounds from her difficult past.After narrowly escaping death once again, Cole decided to record her father’s greatest hits, including the phenomenal success Unforgettable with Love. Cole, who has fought and won many battles to find personal happiness, says “ I’m so grateful for the way my life has turned out”.31.Natalie Cole became famous because ______.A.less than 20 million of her records had been soldB.she had won several Grammy awardsC.she is the daughter of famous singer Nat King ColeD.she gave up drugs32.Which of the following is true about Natalie’s childhood?A.She didn’t have a normal childhood when she was a little girl.B.It was always possible for a little girl like her to have a normal childhood.C.She didn’t have a normal childhood because her father spent much of his time away from home.D.She had a normal childhood, though her father spent much of his time away from home.33.“ During her college years at Amherst, Cole began to experiment with drugs, though they didn’t stop her from joining a music group.” Here, “ they” refers to ______.A.drugsB.her college friendsC.doctorsD.her fellow singers34.Which of the following is true according to the text?A.Two years after Natalie Cole was arrested and almost died because of drugs, her first record won two Grammies.B.When Natalie Cole’s first record won two Grammies, she had been arrested and stayed in prison for two years.C.When Natalie Cole’s first record won two Grammies, she was almost dying because of drugs.D.Though Natalie Cole was arrested for crimes involving drugs, her first record won two Grammies.35.“ I’m so grateful for the way my life has turned out” means ______.A.I’m glad about all that I have experiencedB.I’m glad about where I am nowC.I’m sorry for all that I have experiencedD.I’m sorry for where I am nowPassage 2（阅读选择）Language is a way to communicate with each other. We started to learn language when we were born. However, people are used to speaking their native language, so immigrants are having many problems between the first generation and the second generation be cause they don’t have the same native language. Also, the second generation is losing their identity. Especially in America, there are many immigrants that came from different countries to succeed in the States. Because they suffer in lots of areas such as getting a job and trying to speak English. They want their children to speak English, not only at school, but also at home in order to be more successful. Because of this situation, their children arelosing their ethnic identity and, even more, they are ignoring their parents whose English is not very good.I think most immigrants are trying to preserve their native language in their new country, but this doesn’t help very much in getting a good job. My aunt taught Korean to her children in order to help them succeed in the US; she did so, hopefully, to help them establish a Korean identity. Though the second generation was born in the new country, they often get confused about their identity because they look different from others. My cousins told me that when they visited Korea a few years ago, they felt different from other Koreans. They could even feel it just strolling around the street because they wore different clothes and walked differently.We must realize that language is important and valuable for many reasons.

The early Egyptians knew enough of geometry to build the pyramids and the Greeks used trigonometry(三角学) to measure the circumference of the earth two thousand years before Columbus sailed. European civilization combined geometry and trigonometry with the decimal system(十进制) of the Arabs to produce the maps with which the Europeans explored the world in a later century, mathematicians studies the pendulum (钟摆) of the newly invented clock and created the language of calculus to measure motion.The yardstick of measurement today must cover everything from units tinier than atoms to distances of millions of light years. Speed and accuracy are vital. Man can never send a rocket to Mars unless he knows the exact distance to the planet, since the slightest error could mean missing it by 30,000 miles. In navigating amid planets and stars, man must have the help of some kind of machine calculators for fast and absolutely accurate information.41.The author shows how the exactness of nature’s laws is reflected in ______.A.the language of calculusB.the measurement of motionC.the creatures of natureD.the progress of civilization42.How is the second paragraph developed?A.By contrast.B.By classification.C.By making assumptions.D.By giving examples.43.What does the underlined word “yardstick” in paragraph 3 mean?A.StandardB.AccuracyC.MethodD.Process44.What can be inferred from the text?A.In ancient times people knew nothing about mathematics.B.The power of nature used to have a great influence on man.C.Progress in civilization demands ever better mathematical tools.D.Technology plays an important role in information collection.45.Where does the passage most probably come from?A.A news report.B.A book review.C.A science magazine.D.A math textbook.四、选词填空 (共1小题10分)Passage 1（选词填空（句子））46.

What happened at the United Nations? How did the critics like the new play? 41 an event takes place, newspapers are on the streets 42 the details. Wherever anything happens in the world, reports are on the spot to 43 the news. Newspapers have one basic 44, to get the news as quickly as possible from its source, from those who make it to those who want to 45 it. Radio, telegraph, television, and 46 inventions brought competition for newspapers. So did the development of magazines and other means of communication. 47, this competition merely spurred the newspapers on. They quicklymade use of the newer and faster means of communication to improve the 48 and thus the efficiency of their own operations. Today more newspapers are 49 and read than ever before. Competition also led newspapers to branch out into many other fields.Besides keeping readers 50 of the latest news, today's newspapers 51 and influence readers about politics and other important and serious matters. Newspapers influence readers'economic choices 52 advertising. Most newspapers depend on advertising for their very 53. Newspapers are sold at a price that 54 even a small fraction of the cost of production. The main 55 of income for most newspapers is commercial advertising. The 56 in selling advertising depends on a newspaper's value to advertisers. This 57 in terms of circulation. How many people read the newspaper? Circulation depends 58 on the work of the circulation department and on the services or entertainment 59 in a newspaper's pages.

That's the way most parents are living their lives, no weekends of their own, no time to visit friends, not even a chance of promotion in their jobs.Asking help from their parents might be a way out, but problems are that some aging parents are not strong enough to take care of the kids, and that the kids may also become too spoiled by their grandparents.Then, here comes a solution：families with kids can form a small group, and parents of each family can take turns to look after all the kids in this group on weekends. Thus, other parentscan have some quiet time and feel free to do something they've been planning for a long time. At the same time, the kids can make new friends and won't be hanging around their parents all day long. This is baby-pooling.61. Many post-80s couples can't go to the movies, shop or attend parties because .A、they have to look after their kidsB、they have to look after their parentsC、they are busy with their workD、they have no money62. In Paragraph 2, “a way out” means .A、out of dateB、a solutionC、without questionD、a complaint63. According to the last paragraph, the solution to the problem of post-80s couples is that .A、families with kids form a small groupB、they ask their aging parents for helpC、they give up their jobsD、they take their kids wherever they go64. What is (are) the advantage(s) of baby-pooling?A、The parents can have much more free time.B、The kids can make new friends.C、The kids won't be hanging around their parents all day long.D、All of the above.65. The passage mainly discusses .A、post-80s couples and their friendsB、post-80s couples and baby-poolingC、post-80s couples and their parentsD、kids and their grandparentsPassage TwoIt is a terrible illustration of man's weakness to nature, and the tsunami(海啸) that struck the Japanese coast in March, 2011 has illustrated the difficulty of fighting against natural disasters, even for a prosperous nation.Totally preventing tsunami-damage is impossible. But there is much that can be done to minimize damage and loss of life. Measures that can be taken include designing solid buildings, and developing early-warning systems, public education programs and evacuation(疏散) strategies. Moreover, the approach of a tsunami is possibly picked up by the sensors of complicated international warning systems. Countries can use radio and television broadcasts as well as loudspeaker networks to warn the public.But an early warning system depends on how far the tsunami strikes, if it's close by, the warning system is not going to be very effective. When people are faced with an unstoppable force like a tsunami the massive waves created by events like underwater earthquakes, the best course of action for them is to get inland and to the higher ground as quickly as possible.66. The first paragraph tells us that .A、man can easily defeat the natureB、tsunamis take place only in JapanC、man's ability to cope with natural disasters is limitedD、the tsunami-damage in Japan is not so terrible67. To prevent tsunami-damage, the following measures can be taken EXCEPT .A、designing firm buildingsB、developing early-warning systemsC、developing evacuation strategiesD、keeping the public unaware of the seriousness of tsunamis68. According to the passage, which of the following can cause a tsunami?A、Storms.B、Massive waves.C、Underwater earthquakes.D、Floods.69. When a tsunami happens, the best course of action for people is to .A、listen to radio and television broadcasts for informationB、get inland and to the higher ground as quickly as possibleC、stay where they areD、rely on the warning systems70. Which of the following statements is correct according to the passage?A、The total prevention of tsunamis is possible.B、Rich countries are less affected by tsunamis than poor countries.C、Approaching tsunamis can possibly be picked up by sensors.D、An early warning system is effective when a tsunami is close by.Passage ThreeGlobal warming is causing more than 300,000 deaths and about ＄125 billion in economic losses each year, according to a report by the Global Humanitarian Forum, an organization led by Annan, the former United Nations secretary general.The report, to be released Friday, analyzed data and existing studies of health, disaster, population and economic trends. It found that human-influenced climate change was raising the global death rates from illnesses including malnutrition(营养不良) and heat-related health problems.But even before its release, the report drew criticism from some experts on climate and risk, who questioned its methods and conclusions.Along with the deaths, the report said that the lives of 325 million people, primarily in poor countries, were being seriously affected by climate change. It projected that the number would double by 2030.Roger Pielke Jr., a political scientist at the University of Colorado, Boulder, who studies disaster trends, said the Forum's report was “a methodological embarrassment” because there was no way to distinguish deaths or economic losses related to human-driven global warming amid the much larger losses resulting from the growth in populations and economic development in vulnerable(易受伤害的) regions. Dr. Pielke said that—climate change is an important problem requiring our utmo st attention. But the report, he said, “will harm the cause for action on both climate change and disasters because it is so deeply flawed(有瑕疵的)”.However, Soren Andreasen, a social scientist at Dalberg Global Development Partners who supervised the writing of the report, defended it, saying that it was clear that the numbers were rough estimates. He said the report was aimed at world leaders, who will meet in Copenhagen in December to negotiate a new international climate treaty.In a press release describing the report, Mr. Annan stressed the need for the negotiations to focus on increasing the flow of money from rich to poor regions to help reduce their vulnerability to climate hazards while still curbing the emissions of the heat-trapping gases. More than 90％of the human and economic losses from climate change are occurring in poor countries, according to the report.71. What is the finding of the Global Humanitarian Forum?A、Global temperatures affect the rate of economic development.B、Rates of death from illnesses have risen due to global warming.C、Malnutrition has caused serious health problems in poor countries.D、Economic trends have to do with population and natural disasters.72. What do we learn about the Forum's report from the passage?A、It was challenged by some climate and risk experts.B、It aroused a lot of interest in the scientific circles.C、It was warmly received by environmentalists.D、It caused a big stir in developing countries.73. What does Dr. Pielke say about the Forum's report?A、Its statistics look embarrassing.B、It is invalid in terms of methodology.C、It deserves our closest attention.D、Its conclusion is purposely exaggerated.74. What is Soren Andreasen's view of the report?A、Its conclusions are based on carefully collected data.B、It is vulnerable to criticism if the statistics are closely examined.C、It will give rise to heated discussions at the Copenhagen conference.D、Its rough estimates are meant to draw the attention of world leaders.75. What does Kofi Annan say should be the focus of the Copenhagen conference?A、How rich and poor regions can share responsibility in curbing global warming.B、How human and economic losses from climate change can be reduced.C、How emissions of heat-trapping gases can be reduced on a global scale.D、How rich countries can better help poor regions reduce climate hazards.Passage FourReaching new peaks of popularity in North America is Iceberg Water which is harvested from icebergs off the coast of Newfoundland, Canada.Arthur von Wiesenberger, who carries the title Water Master, is one of the few water critics in North America. As a boy, he spent time in the larger cities of Italy, France and Switzerland, where bottled water is consumed daily. Even then, he kept a water journal, noting the brands he liked best. “My dog could tell the difference between bottled and tap water，” He says. But is plain tap water all that bad? Not at all. In fact, New York's municipal water for more than a century was called the champagne of tap water and until recently considered among the best in the world in terms of both taste and purity. Similarly, a magazine in England foundthat tap water from the Thames River tasted better than several leading brands of bottled water that were 400 times more expensive.Nevertheless, soft-drink companies view bottled water as the next battle-ground for market share—this despite the fact that over 25 percent of bottled water comes from tap water：PepsiCo's Aquafina and Coca-Cola's Dasani are both purified tap water rather than spring water.As diners thirst for leading brands, bottlers and restaurateurs salivate(垂涎) over the profits.A restaurant's typical mark-up on wine is 100 to 150 percent, whereas on bottled water it's often 300 to 500 percent. But since water is much cheaper than wine, and many of the fancier brands aren't available in stores, most diners don't notice or care.As a result, some restaurants are turning up the pressure to sell bottled water. According to an article in The Street Journal, some of the more shameless tactics include placing attractive bottles on the table for a visual sell, listing brands on the menu without prices, and pouring bottled water without even asking the dinners if they want it.Regardless of how it's sold, the popularity of bottled water taps into our desire for better health, our wish to appear cultivated, and even a longing for lost purity.76. What do we know about Iceberg Water from the passage?A、It is a kind of iced water.B、It is just plain tap water.C、It is a kind of bottled water.D、It is a kind of mineral water.77. By saying “My dog could tell the difference between bottled and tap water” (Para. 2), von Wiesenberger wants to convey the message that .A、plain tap water is certainly unfit for drinkingB、bottled water is clearly superior to tap waterC、bottled water often appeals more to dogs' tasteD、dogs can usually detect a fine difference in taste78. The fancier brands (Para. 5) refers to .A、tap water from the Thames RiverB、famous wines not sold in ordinary storesC、PepsiCo's Aquafina and Coca-Cola's DasaniD、expensive bottled water with impressive names79. Why are some restaurants turning up the pressure to sell bottled water?A、Bottled water brings in huge profits.B、Competition from the wine industry is intense.C、Most diners find bottled water affordable.D、Bottled water satisfies diners' desire to be fashionable.80. According to the passage, why is bottled water so popular?A、It is much cheaper than wine.B、It is considered healthier.C、It appeals to more cultivated people.D、It is more widely promoted in the market.四、翻译题（每小题2分，共40分）81. 只要明天天气好,我们就和同学一起去游泳。

Each passage is followed by some questions or incomplete statements. For each of them there are 4 choices marked A, B, C and D. Y ou should decide on the best choice, and mark the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet.Passage1Many post-80s couples are complaining that going to the movies, shopping or attending parties have become impossible since their kids were born. That's the way most parents are living their lives, no weekends of their own, no time to visit friends, not even a chance of promotion in their jobs.Asking help from their parents might be a way out,but problems are that some aging parents arc not strong enough to take care of the kids, and that the kids may also become too spoiled by their grandparents.Then, here comes a solution: families with kids can form a small group, and parents of each family can take turns to look after all the kids in this group on weekends. Thus, other parents can have some quiet time and feel freeto do something they've been planning for a long time. At the same time, the kids can make new friends and won' t be hanging around their parents all day long. This is baby-pooling.61.Many post-80s couples can't go to the movies, shop or attend parties because_____.A .they have to look after their kids B. they have to look after their parentsC. they are busy with their workD. they have no money62.In paragraph 2, “a way out” means ______.A. out of dateB. a solutionC. without questionD. a complaint63.According to the last paragraph, the solution to the problem of post-80s couples isthat _____ .A. families with kids form a small groupB. they ask their aging parents for helpC. they give up their jobsD. they lake their kids wherever they go64.What is( are) the advantage(s) of baby-pooling?A.The parents can have much more free time.B.The kids can make new friends.C.The kids won't be hanging around their parents all day long.D. All of the above.65.The passage mainly discusses_____ ?A. post-80s couples and their friendsB. post-80s couples and baby-poolingC. post-80s couples and their parentsD. kids and their grandparentsPassage2It is a terrible illustration of man ' s weakness to nature .and the tsunami(^^) that struck the Japanese coast in March. 2011 has illustrated the difficulty of fighting against natural disasters, even for a prosperous nation.Totally preventing tsunami-damage is impossible. But there is much that can be done to minimize damage and loss of life. Measures that can be taken include designing solid buildings, and developing early-warming systems, public education programs and evacuation( 拔散）strategics.Moreover, the approach of a tsunami is possibly picked up by the sensors of complicated international warming systems. Countries can use radio and television broadcasts as well as loudspeaker networks to warn the public.But an early warming system depends on how far the tsunami strikes, if it's close by, the warning system is not going to be very effective. When people are faced with an unstoppable force like a tsunami the massive waves created by events like underwater earthquakes, the best course of action for them is lo get inland and to the higherground as quickly as possible.66.The first paragraph tells us that _____ .A.man can easily defeat the natureB.tsunamis take place only in JapanC.man's ability to cope with natural disasters is limitedD.the tsunami-damage in Japan is not so terrible67.To prevent tsunami-damage, the following measures can be taken EXCEPT______A.designing firm buildings 、B.developing early-warning systemsC.developing evacuation strategicsD.keeping the public unaware of the seriousness of tsunamis68.According to the passage , which of the following can cause a tsunami_____?A.

Floods69.When a tsunami happens, the best course of action for people is to_____.A.listen to radio and television broadcasts for informationB.get inland and to the higher ground as quickly as possibleC.stay where they areD.rely on the warning systemsPassage 3Global warming is causing more than 300,000 deaths and about $125 billion in economic losses each year, according to a report by the Global Humanitarian Forum, an organization led by Annan, the former United Nations secretary general.The report, to be released Friday, analyzed data and existing studies of health, disaster,population and economic trends. It found that human-influenced climate change was raising the global death rates from illnesses including malnutrition (营养不良）and heal-related health problems.But even before its release, the report drew criticism from some experts on climate and risk,who questioned its methods and conclusions.Along with the deaths, the report said that the lives of 325 million people, primarily in poor countries, were being seriously affected by climate change. It projected that the number would double by 2030.Roger Pielke Jr.a political scientist at the University of Colorado, Boulder, who studies disaster trends, said the Forum's report was “a methodological embarrassment” because there was no way to distinguish deaths or economic losses related to human-driven global warming amid the much larger losses resulting from the growth in populations and economic development in vulnerable (易受伤害的)regions. Dr. Pielke said that “climate change is an important problem requiring our utmost attention. “But the report, he said, ''will harm the cause for action on both climate change and disasters because it is so deeply flawed (有瑕疵的).”However, Soren Andreasen, a social scientist at Dalberg Global Development Partners who supervised the writing of the report, defended it, saying that it was clear that the numbers were rough estimates. He said the report was aimed at world leaders, who will meet in Copenhagen in December to negotiate a new international climate treaty.In a press release describing the report, Mr. Annan stressed the need for the negotiations to focus on increasing the flow of money from rich to poor regions to help reduce their vulnerability to climate hazards while still curbing the emissions of the heat-trapping gases. More than 90% of the human and economic losses from climate change arc occurring in poor countries, according to the report.71. What is the finding of the Global Humanitarian Forum?A. Global temperatures affect the rate of economic development.B.Rates of death from illnesses have risen due to global warming.C.Malnutrition has caused serious health problems in poor countries.D.Economic trends have to do with population and natural disasters.72. What do we learn about the Forum's report from the passage?A.It was challenged by some climate and risk experts.B.It aroused a lot of interest in the scientific circles.C.It was warmly received by environmentalists.D.It caused a big stir in developing countries.73.What does Dr. Pielke say about the Forum's report?A.Its statistics look embarrassing.B.It is invalid in terms of methodology.C.It deserves our closest attention.D.Its conclusion is purposely exaggerated.74.What is Soren Andreasen’s view of the report?A. Its conclusions are based on carefully collected data.B. It is vulnerable to criticism if the statistics are closely examined.C. It will give rise to heated discussions at the Copenhagen conference.D. Its rough estimates arc meant to draw the attention of world leaders.75. What does Kofi Annan say should be the focus of the Copenhagen conference?A. How rich and poor regions can share responsibility in curbing global warming.B. How human and economic losses from climate change can be reduced.C.How emissions of heat-trapping gases can be reduced on a global scale.D.How rich countries can better help poor regions reduce climate hazards.Passage 4Reaching new peaks of popularity in North America is Iceberg Water, which is harvested from icebergs off the coast of Newfoundland, Canada.Arthur von Wiesenberger, who carries the title Water Master, is one of the few water critics in North America. As a boy, he spent time in the larger cities of Italy, France and Switzerland,where bottled water is consumed daily. Even then, he kept a water journal, noting the brands he liked best “my dog could tell the difference between bottled and tap water,” He says.But is plain tap water all that bad? Not at all. In fact. New York's municipal water for morethan a century was called the champagne of lap water and until recently considered among the best in the world in terms of both taste and purity. Similarly, a magazine in England found that tap water from the Thames River tasted better than several leading brands of bottled water that were400 times more expensive.Nevertheless, soft-drink companies view bottled water as the next battle-ground for marketshare-this despite the fact that over 25 percent of bottled water comes from tap water: PepsiCo's Aquafina and Coca-Cola's Dasani arc both purified tap water rather than spring water.As diners thirst for leading brands, bottlers and restaurateurs salivate(垂涎)over the profits.A restaurant's typical mark-up on wine is 100 to 150 percent, whereas on bottled water it's often300 to 500 percent. But since water is much cheaper than wine, and many of the fancier brandsaren't available in stores, most diners don't notice or care.As a result, some restaurants are turning up the pressure to sen bottled water.According toan article in The Street Journal, some of the more shameless tactics include placing attractive bottleson the table for a visual sell, listing brands on the menu without prices, and pouring bottled water without even asking the diners if they want it.Regardless of how it’s sold, the popularity of bottled whaler taps into our desire for better health, our wish to appear cultivated, and even a longing for lost purity.76.What do we know about Iceberg Water from the passage?A.lt is a kind of iced water.B.It is just plain tap water.C .It is a kind of bottled water.D .It is a kind of mineral water.77.By saying “My dog could tell the difference between bottled and tap water (Line 4 Para2),V on Wiesenberger wants to convey the message that_____?A .plain tap whaler is certainly unfit for drinkingB .bottled water is clearly superior to tap waterC.bottled water often appeals more to dogs tasteD.dogs can usually detect a fine difference in taste78.The-fancier brands (Line 3 Para 5) refers to____.A.tap water from the Thames RiverB.famous wines not sold in ordinary storesC.PepsiCo's Aquafina and Coca-Cola's DasaniD.expensive bottled water with impressive names79.Why are some restaurants turning up the pressure to sell bottled water?A. Bottled water brings in huge profits.B. Competition from the wine industry is intense.C. Most diners find bottled water affordable.D.Bottled water satisfied diners' desire to fashionable.80.According to passage, why is bottled whaler so popular?A. It is much cheaper than wine.B.It is considered healthier.C. lt appeals to more cultivated people.D. It is more widely promoted in the market.PartⅠ Translation ( 2 x 10 )Directions: There are 10 sentences in this section.

That's the way most parents are living their lives, no weekends of their own,no time to visit friends, not even a chance of promotion in their jobs.Asking help from their parents might be a way out,but problems are that some aging parents arc not strongenough to take care of the kids, and that the kids may also become too spoiled by their grandparents. Then, here comes a solution: families with kids can form a small group, and parents of each family can taketurns to look after all the kids in this group on weekends.

It found that human-influenced climate change was raising theglobal death rates from illnesses including malnutrition (营养不良）and heal-related healthproblems.But even before its release, the report drew criticism from some experts on climate andrisk,whoquestioned its methods and conclusions.Along with the deaths, the report said that the lives of 325 million people,primarily in poor countries, were being seriously affected by climate change. It projected that thenumber would double by 2030.Roger Pielke Jr.a political scientist at the University of Colorado, Boulder, who studiesdisaster trends, said the Forum's report was “a methodological embarrassment”because there was no way todistinguish deaths or economic losses related to human-driven global warming amid the much larger lossesresulting from the growth in populations and economic development in vulnerable (易受伤害的)regions. Dr. Pielke said that “climate change is an important problem requiring our utmost attention.“But the report, he said, ''will harm the cause for action on both climate change and disasters because it is sodeeply flawed (有瑕疵的).”However, Soren Andreasen, a social scientist at Dalberg Global Development Partners who supervised thewriting of the report, defended it, saying that it was clear that the numbers were rough estimates. He said thereport was aimed at world leaders, who will meet in Copenhagen in December to negotiate a new internationalclimate treaty.In a press release describing the report, Mr. Annan stressed the need for the negotiations to focus onincreasing the flow of money from rich to poor regions to help reduce their vulnerability to climate hazards whilestill curbing the emissions of the heat-trapping gases. More than 90% of the human and economic losses fromclimate change arc occurring in poor countries, according to the report.71. What is the finding of the Global Humanitarian Forum?精品文档．精品文档A.

As a boy, he spent time in the larger cities of Italy, France and Switzerland,where bottled wateris consumed daily. Even then, he kept a water journal, noting the brands he liked best “my dog could tell thedifference between bottled and tap water,”He says.But is plain tap water all that bad? Not at all. In fact. New York's municipal water for more than a century was called the champagne of lap water and until recently considered among the best in the world interms of both taste and purity. Similarly, a magazine in England found that tap water from the ThamesRiver tasted better than several leading brands of bottled water that were400 times more expensive.Nevertheless, soft-drink companies view bottled water as the next battle-ground for market share-this despite the fact that over 25 percent of bottled water comes from tap water: PepsiCo's Aquafina andCoca-Cola's Dasani arc both purified tap water rather than spring water.As diners thirst for leading brands, bottlers and restaurateurs salivate(垂涎)over the profits.A restaurant's typical mark-up on wine is 100 to 150 percent, whereas on bottled water it's often300 to 500 percent. But since water is much cheaper than wine, and many of the fancier brandsaren't available in stores, most diners don't notice or care.As a result, some restaurants are turning up the pressure to sen bottled water.According toan article in The Street Journal, some of the more shameless tactics include placing attractive bottles精品文档．精品文档on the table for a visual sell, listing brands on the menu without prices, and pouring bottled water without evenasking the diners if they want it.Regardless of how it's sold, the popularity of bottled whaler taps into our desire for better health, ourwish to appear cultivated, and even a longing for lost purity.76.What do we know about Iceberg Water from the passage?A.lt is a kind of iced water.B.It is just plain tap water.C .It is a kind of bottled water.D .It is a kind of mineral water.77.By saying “My dog could tell the difference between bottled and tap water (Line 4 Para2),V on Wiesenbergerwants to convey the message that_____?A .plain tap whaler is certainly unfit for drinkingB .bottled water is clearly superior to tap waterC.bottled water often appeals more to dogs tasteD.dogs can usually detect a fine difference in taste78.The-fancier brands (Line 3 Para 5) refers to____.A.tap water from the Thames RiverB.famous wines not sold in ordinary storesC.PepsiCo's Aquafina and Coca-Cola's DasaniD.expensive bottled water with impressive names79.Why are some restaurants turning up the pressure to sell bottled water?A. Bottled water brings in huge profits.B. Competition from the wine industry is intense.C.

2016年浙江专升本英语考试真题
2016年浙江专升本英语考试真题全文共6篇示例，供读者参考篇1My Big English Exam AdventureHi there! My name is Xiaoming and I'm 10 years old. I just had the craziest experience taking a really important English exam called the 2016 Zhejiang Associate's Degree Admission English Exam. It was super tough but I tried my best!The exam was last Saturday morning. My mom woke me up at 6am which is sooo early for a kid like me on a weekend. But she said I had to get up because the exam started at 8:30am and we didn't want to be late. I groggily got out of bed, put on my school uniform, and had a quick breakfast of congeebaba (that's what I call congee and Chinese doughnuts).Then my dad drove me to the exam site which was at a big university downtown. There were so many other students there, mostly older teenagers. I felt really small compared to them! We had to go through security checks to get inside the exam room. The rules were very strict - no cheating at all was allowed. I was really nervous!Finally, it was time to begin the exam. The proctor passed out the test booklets and I heard the rustling of papers all around me as we opened them up. The first section was listening comprehension. Some English dialogues and passages were played over the speakers and we had to answer multiple choice questions about what we heard. This part was pretty okay for me since my English listening isn't too bad.Next up was the reading section and this was super hard! The passages were sooo long and had all these big vocabulary words I didn't know. There were questions about the main ideas, details, inferences, and even askingwhat certain phrases meant. I'm usually a good reader but I struggled a lot with this part. I just tried my best to understand as much as I could.We then had a break for lunch. I scurried out of the exam room and my mom had a boxed lunch waiting for me with some fried rice, veggies, and my favorite - beef meatballs! I inhaled it pretty quick since we only had 30 minutes for lunch. Some students looked super stressed out but I tried not to let it bother me too much.After lunch was the writing section and I was pretty confident for this part. The first writing task was just a short paragraph about my favorite hobby. Easy peasy! I wrote all abouthow I love playing basketball and shooting hoops with my friends. For the second task, we had to write a longer essay agreeing or disagreeing with an opinion. I chose to disagree with the opinion that "success is more important than effort." I wrote all about how I think it's the effort that really counts and used examples from how I study hard for tests like this one.The very last part was speaking, which I was a little nervous about. We had to go one-by-one into a separate room and have a conversation with a test grader about different topics. The grader asked me some warm-up questions about my family and hobbies. Then they showed me a picture of some kids doing experiments and asked me to describe what I saw, which was pretty straightforward. Finally, they asked my opinion on whether grades or hands-on learning was more important. I gave a balanced response saying both ways have their merits.Phew, that was it! I walked out of therewith my brain feeling like a balloon thathadjust been deflated.Buthad a big smile on my face knowing I had given it my all. My parents greeted me so proudly when I emerged.On the way home, we stopped for ice cream to celebrate me making it through the exam. I got anice big scoop of strawberryand one of chocolate sauce too! The cold, sweet treat really hit the spot after such a mentally exhausting day.A few weeks later, my results came in the mail and I was overjoyed to see that I passed!All that hard work and perseverance paid off. The exam was one of the toughest things I've ever done, but I proved to myself that I could overcome a big challenge through determination and effort.So there you have it, that's my big exam adventure! It was hard but I made it through. I'm really proud of myself but also glad it's over haha. If you ever have to take a huge test like that, just do your best and don't give up. Let me know if you have any other questions! Thanks for reading!篇2The Big Test DayToday was the big English test! Mama woke me up really early and made me a big breakfast with eggs, rice and veggies to get me ready. She said I needed lots of energy for my brain today.I got dressed in my nicest school uniform with the blue shorts and white shirt.When we got to the school, there were sooo many students there. Hundreds! All the desks were set up in the biggest room I've ever seen. It looked like a giant's dining room. I saw some of my friends from class and we got to sit together which made me feel better. The teachers were very serious though and kept shushing everyone.Finally, the head teacher came out and told us to get our pencils ready. She had a loud voice that could probably be heard all the way across the field during PE class. She said this was a very important test and we all needed to try our best. Then she handed out the test papers. They were at least twenty pages thick! My heart started beating really fast.The first section was listening. A voice came on over the speakers telling us to listen carefully and mark our answers on the sheet. It was talking about shopping at the grocery store and asking questions like "How many apples did John buy?" and "What did the cashier say?" It was hard to catch everything, but I did my best. Mama always takes me grocery shopping with her so at least I knew some of the words.Next was the reading section and that was really tough. There were so many long passages about science and history. I'm good at reading comics and kid novels, but textbook language isway harder. I read slowly and tried to understand as much as I could. For the ones I didn't understand, I had to guess if the answer was A, B, C or D based on the words I did know.Writing was after that and we had to write an essay about our favorite activities. That was fun because I love drawing and riding my bike with my friends. I got to write all about the cool pictures I like to make and how I've gotten better at bunny hops and wheelies lately. Essays are my favorite part of English because I get to share my stories.Grammmar was probably my worst section though. The questions asked us to pick the right verb tenses or fix the pronoun errors in sentences. I find that stuff super confusing with all the rules. I just had to go with my gut feeling on a lot of them. Mama is always correcting me when I say "Her go to park yesterday" so I tried my best.Finally, we got to the speaking part at the end. One by one, we had to go to the front and pick a topic for the teacher to ask us questions about. I picked sports because I know a lot about basketball, soccer and badminton from PE class. The teacher asked stuff like "What are some popular sports?" and "Why do you like playing sports?" I think I did pretty well because I could use simple words I know really well.Phew! After what felt like daaays, we finally got to turn in our test papers. My hand was so sore from all that writing and bubbling in the answers. As I walked out with my classmates, I felt both tired and relieved. That was soooo much work, but I did my very best. Mama said she was proud of me no matter what my score was. Now I just have to wait for the results. Hopefully I did well enough to go to the good university!篇3My Exciting Adventure at the 2016 Zhejiang College Entrance ExamHi everyone! Today I want to tell you about my incredible experience at the 2016 Zhejiang College Entrance Exam. It was such a big event, and I was so excited to be a part of it!First, let me tell you a little bit about the exam. It was an English test for adults who wanted to go to college. Can you believe that? Grown-ups taking a test just like us! It was held in Zhejiang province, and people from all over the place came to take it.Now, let's talk about the exam itself. It had different parts, and the first part was all about reading. We had to read a passage and answer questions about it. The funny thing is, someof the questions were about cats and dogs. I love animals, so I thought that was pretty cool!Then came the listening part. They played some recordings, and we had to listen carefully and answer questions. I had to concentrate really hard because some of the recordings were a bit tricky. But I did my best, just like I do in my English classes at school.After that, we had to write an essay. The topic was "My Dream Vacation." I wrote about going to the beach with my family. I talked about building sandcastles, swimming in the ocean, and eating ice cream. It made me want to go on vacation right away!The last part of the exam was speaking. We had to talk to an examiner about different topics. I was a little nervous at first, but the examiner was really nice. We talked about my hobbies, my favorite food, and even my future plans. I told them I want to be a doctor when I grow up. They seemed impressed!Overall, the exam was a lot of fun. I got to meet new people and show off my English skills. It made me feel proud of all the hard work I've put into learning English. And guess what? I even got a certificate at the end to show that I took the exam. I can't wait to show it to my friends!So, that's the story of my exciting adventure at the 2016 Zhejiang College Entrance Exam. It was a day full of reading, listening, writing, and speaking. I learned a lot and had a great time. Maybe one day, when I'm all grown up, I'll take a test like that and go to college too!I hope you enjoyed hearing about my experience. Remember, studying and working hard can lead to amazing opportunities. Keep learning and dreaming big!篇4The Big Kids' Super Hard Test DayOh boy, that was a crazy day! My big sister Lily had to take this massive test called the "Zhejiang Academic Examination for Upgrading from Junior College to Undergraduate Education." That's a really long name, so let's just call it the "Big Kid Test."Lily is super smart and studies really hard at her junior college. She wants to go to a great university next year. But first, she had to pass this Big Kid Test. It's supposed to be super duper difficult!The day started off pretty normal. Lily got up really early, like before the sun was even awake! She put on her lucky purple shirtand her favorite jeans. For breakfast, she had veggie scrambled eggs and whole wheat toast. Yuck! I'd rather have chocolate chip pancakes.Then Lily double and triple checked that she had everything - pencils, erasers, calculator, admission ticket, identity card. She made sure her backpack was all packed up and ready to go. I helped carry it to the door because it looked super heavy with all her books and stuff.My parents kept telling Lily not to worry and just to do her best. But I could see she looked a little nervous. Her hands were shaking a tiny bit as she drank her orange juice. I gave her a big hug and told her she was gonna ace that test!Finally, it was time to leave. Mom, Dad, and I all walked Lily to the exam center at her junior college. There were so many Big Kids there, all looking nervous too. Some of their parents gave them last minute pep talks. Others had these focused, determined looks on their faces. Lily joined the long line to get inside.The test was split into two parts - the morning session and the afternoon session. The morning had listening, reading, and writing sections. Lily said those were challenging but okay. She got a little break for lunch, but not too long.Then it was time for the afternoon session - translation and composition writing. Yikes! That sounds crazy hard. But Lily had been preparing by practicing translation passages and essay writing for months. I'm sure she nailed it.When Lily finally emerged from the exam room, she looked beat. Her hair was a mess and her shirt was untucked. But she had this big smile on her face. Mom and Dad hugged her and I jumped up to give her a high five. She did it!We went out for Lily's favorite dumplings that night to celebrate. She deserved it after that monster of a test day. I don't know if I'll ever be able to handle an exam like that. Lily is my hero!A couple months later, the results came out. Lily did amazing and got a super high score! She can apply to all the best universities now. I'm so proud of her for working so hard.The 2016 Big Kid Test was no joke. But my brilliant sister tackled it like a champion. I look up to her so much. Maybe in a few years when I'm a Big Kid too, I can follow in Lily's footsteps and knock that test out of the park!篇5The Big English Exam for Grown-UpsHi there! My name is Amy, and I'm a 10-year-old student in the fifth grade. I love learning new things, especially when it comes to English. It's such a fun language to learn, with lots of cool words and interesting stories.Today, I want to share with you something really exciting that happened last year. It's all about a super-duper important exam that my older cousin, Lily, had to take. She was trying to get into a really good college, but she had to pass this big English test first. It's called the 2016 Zhejiang College Entrance Examination for English Language Learners.Let me tell you all about it!Lily is 18 years old and has been studying English since she was a little kid, just like me. She's really good at it, but this exam was no joke. It was like the ultimate challenge for all the grown-ups who wanted to go to college.The exam had four parts: listening, reading, writing, and speaking. Lily had to show that she could understand spoken English, read and comprehend difficult texts, writewell-organized essays, and even have conversations in English. Whew, that's a lot of stuff to remember!But you know what? Lily was totally prepared. She had been studying like crazy for months, reading English books, watching movies and shows in English, and practicing her speaking skills with her English teacher. She even made flashcards to help her learn new vocabulary words.When the big day finally arrived, Lily was a little nervous, but she was also really excited. She woke up super early, had a healthy breakfast, and headed to the exam center with her lucky pencil case.The listening part was first. Lily had to listen to recordings of people talking and answer questions about what they said. It was tough, but she stayed focused and tried her best.Next up篇6The Big English TestHi there! My name is Lily and I'm in 5th grade. I just took a really important English test last weekend. It was the 2016 Zhejiang exam for vocational college students trying to upgrade to a bachelor's degree program. I'm still just a kid, but my older brother Xiao Ming is one of those vocational college students.He asked me to take the test for him since my English is better than his. I figured why not, it could be fun!The test had four sections - listening, reading, writing, and translation. We had to answer multiple choice questions and also write some essays and translate passages between English and Chinese. Here's how it all went down:ListeningThe listening part was pretty tough! We had to listen to recordings of conversations and lectures, then answer comprehension questions about the main ideas and details. Some of the topics were really advanced, like bioengineering and economic policies. How am I supposed to know anything about that stuff? I'm still learning my multiplication tables!There were a couple conversation transcripts that seemed more my speed. One was about two friends deciding what movie to see. Another was coworkers discussing their weekend plans. Those helped me get a few questions right at least. Phew!For the lectures, I just had to take careful notes and look for keywords I recognized like "significant impact" or "fundamental principle." Whenever I heard transition words like "for example" or "in contrast," I knew an important point was coming up. I triedmy best, but I'll be honest - I probably got a lot of those listening questions wrong. Don't be too hard on me, I'm only 10 years old!ReadingNext up was the reading section, and I felt a little more confident here since reading is one of my strengths. We had to read a few passages and answer comprehension questions, just like the listening part. The topics were pretty varied - one was about the history of artificial intelligence, another discussed environmental policies, stuff like that.My strategy was to skim through quickly first to get the main gist. Then I'd go back and read carefully, circling keywords and making notes in the margins. I looked for transition words and examples to identify key points. Whenever I came across words I didn't know, I tried using context clues to figure out the meaning.There were some pretty long vocabulary words like "environmental ramifications" that I've never heard of before. For those, I just had to take my best guess based on the roots I recognize. Overall though, I understood most of the readings since my English reading level is pretty high for my age. The questions were still challenging of course, but I felt good about this section.WritingThen it was time for the writing section - my favorite part! We had to write a few different essays, including an opinion piece about whether social media is good or bad for society. That one was easy for me since my parents are always going on about how social media rots kids' brains these days. I just mimicked some of their main arguments about internet addiction and lack of face-to-face interaction. Hopefully that was convincing enough!We also had to write a proposal for some kind of environmental initiative. That one was harder since I'm honestly not super familiar with environmental policies and regulations. I just tried to use lots of fancy vocabulary words I've learned like "sustainability" and "carbon footprint" and throw in some basic tips about recycling and reducing emissions. Finger's crossed that was sufficient!The last writing task was to summarize the key points from a lecture transcript we had listened to earlier in the test. I did my best to pick out the main arguments and crucialexamples/evidence. My teacher is always reminding me not to go overboard with little details when summarizing, so I tried tojust hit the highlights. Writing has always been my strong suit, so hopefully I aced this part!TranslationLast but not least came the translation section. Oof, this part was brutal! We had to translate passages back and forth between English and Chinese. I'm honestly not sure how I did here. There were so many idiomatic expressions and cultural references that got lost in translation one way or the other.Like for the English to Chinese part, one of the passages was about American football traditions and terminology. Good luck explaining what a "touchdown" or "field goal" is in natural Chinese! I've never even watched a football game before. I just did a very literal, word-for-word type of translation on that one. Fingers crossed it made some kind of sense.The Chinese to English prompts were no easier. We had to translate things like old Chinese proverbs and traditional medicine philosophies. How do you say "yin and yang" or "qi energy" in proper English? Your guess is as good as mine! I just tried to capture the general gist as best I could.Overall, the translation part was by far the most challenging for me. I'm quite fluent in both English and Chinese for my age.But the idiomatic and cultural stuff was really tricky to get right in either language. I have a feeling I dropped the ball a bit on those translation prompts.Phew! Well, that's my play-by-play recap of this crazy important English test I took. I'm honestly not sure how I did overall. The writing was probably my strong point, and I felt pretty good about most of the reading comprehension too. Listening and translation, not so much! But hey, I gave it my best shot.Hopefully my honest efforts were enough for my brother to get a decent score. He'd better do me a favor too if he ends up getting into that bachelor's program! An English test designed for vocational college students was no walk in the park, even for a little kid like me who's totally fluent. If you ever have to take a test like this, good luck! You're gonna need it.。
