2004-2014三笔真题汉译英答案
2004.5It isn’t often that one has the chance to congratulate a noted woman writer on her 80th birthday. So on October 5 last year,when I went to Bing Xin’s house,I felt very excited. I explained that I hoped she would tell me something about how she becam e a poet. “I haven’t written poetry for many years,” she said smiling. “But I still love to read good poetry.”Bing Xin was fortunate to have parents who encouraged her to study and write. When she was attending a women’s college in Beijing in 1919,an event occurred which changed the whole course of her life. That was the May 4th Movement,a patriotic democratic movement started by students in Beijing. The mass demonstrations made a deep impression on her. She threw herself into the struggle and was put in charge of publicity by the Student Union. She wrote poems,articles and stories,attacking imperialism and feudalism in its various forms.Going to the U.S. in 1923 to study literature,she wrote down her impressions on the way and during her stay there. These were published in the collection To Little Readers. The book brought her instant fame,not only because she was a woman writer,but also because of the noble sentiments in the book. Quite a few younger writers say it was Bing Xin’s writings that started t hem on the road they have since followed.2004.11In recent years, the Chinese government has encouraged domestic travel and implemented a policy of "holiday economics", giving its citizens three annual week-long vacations and the opportunity to spend more savings on travel, shopping and eating out. In 2004, total tourist spending during the May Day holidays was 39 billion yuan.Tourism now contributes 2.3 percent of the nation's gross domestic product (GDP), and revenues are expected to grow by 10 percent annually through to 2013, creating 40 million jobs.The indirect effects of tourism are even greater, accounting for an estimated US$184 billion of economic activity and contributing to some 54 million jobs. That activity includes significant investment in tourism projects, as well as government travel expenditures on meetings.China has spent heavily on building roads, railway stations and airports. New airlines and bus companies have emerged, and competition has cut the cost of travel. A one-way air ticket between Shanghai and Beijing costs 850-900 yuan, and cheaper prices are occasionally available. Some airlines have begun online ticketing services, making it even easier to take a holiday. More private cars and the emergence of car rental agencies have allowed millions of people to travel on their own, as well as in tour groups.2005.5Tibet, located on the "Roof of the World", is still an underdeveloped area in China because of its harsh natural conditions and various social and historical restrictions formed by centuries of backward feudal serfdom. However, the development of Tibet in the past 50 years has greatly changed its former poor and backward look, and the Tibetan people's living standards have greatly improved. Social and economic development has enriched the people's material and cultural life remarkably. In 2000, people of various ethnic groups in Tibet basically shook off poverty, and had enough to eat and wear. Some of them began to live a better-off life. Along with the improvement in the people's livelihood, consumer goods such as refrigerators, color TV sets, washing machines, motorcycles and wristwatches have entered more and more ordinary homes. Many well-off farmers and herdsmen have built new houses. Some have even bought automobiles. Currently, Tibet ranks first in per-capita housing in the country. Radio, television, telecommunications, the Internet and other modem information transmission means are now part of daily life in Tibet. News about various parts of the country and the world now reach most people in Tibet by radio and TV. Local people can obtain information from and make contacts with other parts of the country and the world through telephone, telegram, fax or the Internet. The Tibetan people's health has also improved substantially, because the situation featuring a lack of both doctors and medicine has changed fundamentally. Theaverage life expectancy of the Tibetan people has increased from 35.5 years in the 1950s to 67 years presently.2005.11Over the past 25 years, China has been firmly pressing ahead with the implementation of the reform program and the initiative of opening up to the outside world. With the establishment of a preliminary socialist market economy, and the nation’s economy attaining an outward-oriented perspective, the productive forces and the comprehensive national competence have been on the rising curve constantly. And various social undertakings have been developing in full swing. The living standard of the Chinese people as a whole has undergone a historical leap from a subsistence level to the level of moderate prosperity.In the 25 years between 1978 and 2003, the annual growth rate of China's economy was running at an average of 9.4 percent, with its GDP jumping from 147.3 billion US dollars to over 1.4 trillion US dollars.25 years ago, China’s foreign trade value and foreign exchange reserves each stood at 20.6 billion and 167 million in US dollars, but last year they shot up to 851.2 billion US dollars and 403.3 billion US dollars respectively. China has now become the sixth largest economy and the fourth largest trader in the world.The tremendous changes in China are attributed to the fact that we have adhered to the path of building socialism with Chinese characteristics and persevered in our reform and opening endeavors, which brought into full play the Chinese people's initiative, enthusiasm and creativeness.Though China has scored impressive achievements in its development, we must not lose sight of our problems: overpopulation, a weak economic foundation, underdeveloped productivity, highly uneven development, and the fairly sharp contradictions between the country's ecological environment andnatural resources on the one hand and its economic and social development on the other.China's per capita GDP, though reaching the record high of 1,000 US dollars last year, still ranks well behind the 100th place in the world. To realize China's modernization program and offer all the Chinese people a prosperous life there is yet an uphill battle to fight.We have already set our vision for the first 20 years of this century, which involves the building of a moderately prosperous society of a higher standard in an all-round way for the benefit of well over one billion Chinese people. By 2020 the GDP will be quadrupled from the figure of 2000 to 4 trillion US dollars, with the per capita level averaging at 3,000 US dollars. By then the nation will be immersed in an ambience of greater social harmony with an improved quality of life for the people, featuring a more developed economy, more sound democracy, more thriving culture and more advanced science and education.2006.5Never before has China been so closely bound up with the rest of the world as it is today. The Chinese government works to advance both the fundamental interests of the Chinese people and the common interests of the peoples of the rest of the world, and pursues a defense policy which is purely defensive in nature. China's national defense, in keeping with and contributing to the country's development and security strategies, aims at maintaining national security and unity, and ensuring the realization of the goal of building a moderately prosperous society in an all-round way. China is determined to remain a staunch force for global peace, security and stability.China's national defense and military modernization, conducted on the basis of steady economic development, is the requirement of keeping up with new trends in the global revolution and development in military affairs, and of maintaining China's national security and development. China will not engage in any arms race or pose a military threat to any other country. At the new stage in the new century, we will take the scientific development outlook as an important guiding principlefor the building of national defense and military affairs, vigorously advance the revolution in military affairs with Chinese features, and strive to realize an all-round, coordinated and sustainable development in our country's national defense and military capabilities.2006.11China takes great pride in its varied cuisines, and food is an important element of the Chinese culture. There are eight principal cuisines, including the spicy Sichuan dishes and the light Cantonese cooking. Chinese restaurants are very popular in all parts of the world.However, changing lifestyles in China have led to new eating habits at home and in restaurants. Cheese and tomato sauces are being brought into some traditional Chinese dishes. Urban consumers have taken readily to fast-food chains, such as McDonald's, KFC and Pizza Hut. Market research shows that Western-style fast-food consumption will continue to grow in China, at an annual rate of more than 45 percent in the coming few years, while Chinese fast-food outlets are projected to grow by 15 percent.Rising incomes, combined with greater awareness of international foods and convenient supermarket, have led to the emergence of a new generation of consumers who are more willing to try packaged and canned food products. As more and more households own refrigerators,frozen food, from ready-made dumplings to French fries, are available in supermarkets. Organic products can also be found at stores in big cities,although they can be much more expensive than conventional products.Owing to changed lifestyles, a growing number of Chinese are unwilling to go shopping for food every day, leading to an increased acceptance of packaged items. Rising car ownership and the emergence of new suburbs are additional factors in the growing popularity of supermarkets.2007.5Energy is an essential material basis for human survival and development. Over the entire history of mankind, each and every significant step in the progress of human civilization has been accompaniedby energy innovations and substitutions. The development and utilization of energy has enormously boosted the development of the world economy and human society.Over more than 100 years in the past, developed countries have completed their industrialization, consuming an enormous quantity of natural resources, especially energy resources, in the process. Today, some developing countries are ushering in their own era o f industrialization, and an increase of energy consumption is inevitable for their economic and social development.China is the largest developing country in the world, and developing its economy and eliminating poverty will, for a long time to come, remain the main tasks for the Chinese government and the Chinese people. Since the late 1970s, China, as the fastest growing developing country, has scored brilliant achievements in its economy and society that have a ttracted worldwide attenti on, successfull y blazed the trail of s ocialism with Chinese characteristics, and made significant contributions to world development and prosperity.China is now the world's second-largest energy producer and consumer. The sustained growth of energy supply has provided an important support for the country's economic growth and social progress, while the rapid expansion of energy consumption has created a vast scope for the global energy market. As an irreplaceable component of the world energy market, China plays an increasingly important role in maintaining global energy security.2007.11Your mention of ASEAN puts me in mind of an ASEAN meeting I attended last year. I remember on that occasion Mr. Mahatir and Mr. Goh Chok Tong drew a vivid analogy between China and a friendly elephant. They told me the rise of China would not pose a threat to their countries. To answer your question, let me say China has a history of 5,000 years. We had a glorious past, but we also suffered humiliation and subjugation. The rise of China and its rejuvenation are the dreams of the Chinese people for many generations. What are the connotations of China's peaceful rise? Let memake the following points. Firstly, in promoting China's peaceful rise, we must take full advantage of the very good opportunity of world peace to endeavor to develop and strengthen ourselves, and at the same time safeguard world peace with our own development. Secondly, the rise of China can only be based on our own strength and on our independent, self-reliant and hard efforts. It also has to be based on the broad market of China, the abundant human resources and capital reserves as well as the innovation of our systems as a result of reform. Thirdly, China's rise could not be achieved without the rest of the world. We must always maintain the opening up policy and develop economic and trade exchanges with all friendly countries on the basis of equality and mutual benefit. Fourthly, China's rise will require a long period of time and probably the hard work of many generations of Chinese people. Fifthly, the rise of China will not stand in the way of any other country or pose a threat to any other country, or be achieved at the expense of any particular nation. China does not seek hegemony now. Nor will we ever seek hegemony even after China becomes more powerful. 2008.5Human resource development has long been high on the agenda of China. The Chinese government has put in place the strategy of empowering the country with a strong pool of talents in ways that make it possible for/enable talents to bring their potential into full play/bring out their best/reach their full potential. Years of practice has shaped/resulted in/culminated in a complete/well-developed personnel system for engineers and technicians, who are now employed in line with professional titles.The title-oriented employment practice is a product of planned economy and has matured over time to adapt to emerging socialist market economy and meet the evolving needs of socio-economic development. Ministry of Human Resources and Social Security, Ministry of Housing and Urban-rural Development, the Chinese Academy of Engineering and China Association for Science and Technology have co-founded/jointly established a leading group to coordinate research on technical professionals. The task force has since charted a reform course for the engineering and technical community and developed a merit- driven appraisal system. The leading team has also been committed to international mutual recognition and qualification-based access for engineers.2008.11Commuters sitting on Shanghai’s modern light-rail trains talk on mobile phones tap away on laptops or watch films on the train’s flat-screen monitors. Around the country new semiconductor factories are shooting up on former farmland while universities and high-tech zones packed with start-up companies are reproducing the Silicon Valley model in its sprawling cities.China has plenty of technical brainpower. This talent is enhancing its high-tech design and development capabilities.It has taken over a large amount of global manufacturing turning out television sets computers mobile phones and other electronic products. At the same time it plans to produce more sophisticated high-tech products such as computer chips and network switches.The Chinese government is on a mission to make information technology a pillar of the economy targeting semiconductor and software industries and introducing incentives like cheap land and tax breaks for new companies.China’s appeal for foreign investors comes from its huge and rapidly-expanding domestic market. Another advantage is low wages. Salaries of Chinese engineers can be as low as one-tenth of those in Western countries.2009.5As a world-famous business center and one of the most important securities markets in Asia, Shanghai boasts the best-known seaport and a huge market that the world top 500 enterprises/entities cannot ignore.Shanghai, as an international metropolis, will host the 2010 World Expo, thus becoming the first host city among those in developing countries. The theme of the World Expo—City Makes a BetterLife/A Better City, A Better Life. Shanghai, with a population of 17 million people, will be hosting the World Expo from May to October, 2010, which is expected to have the world record of 70 million visitors.Shanghai has planned a 30-billion US dollar investment in the construction of its all-round infrastructure. In order to ensure the smooth flow of its traffic during the World Expo, Shanghai will put more investment in the construction of its urban roads and subway system. In accordance with the relevant provisions of the World Expo, a lot of exhibition halls and convention centers will be constructed all along the Huangpu River banks, including high-tech exhibition halls and convention centers.The Shanghai municipal government is determined to avail itself of this opportunity to constantly improve the city life. Many important infrastructure will be completed in 2010. After the expo, most of the buildings will be transformed into living, office or recreational facilities.2009.11The world financial crisis has brought unprecedented difficulties and challenges to China, which are mainly manifested in the following aspects: economic growth is facing greater pressure; imports and exports have been on the decline; industrial production has notably slowed down; some enterprises are having a hard time in their production and business operation; and employment is becoming more and more difficult.This crisis coincides with a crucial junction in China’s efforts to transform the growth pattern and adjust the economic structure.To counter the impact of the world financial crisis and maintain steady and relatively fast economic growth, China has promptly adjusted its macroeconomic policies, resolutely adopted a proactive fiscal policy and a moderately easy monetary policy, and formulated a package plan to expanddomestic demand and boost economic growth.The Chinese government has implemented industrial restructuring and rejuvenation plans, vigorously promoted scientific innovation and technological upgrading, and intensified efforts on energy conservation, emission reduction and environment protection. It has further endeavored to adjust the distribution of national income, energetically expand domestic markets, especially rural markets, and significantly raise the level of social security.These measures have already produced initial results, as shown by the current fairly strong domestic consumption, a steady rise in investment demand and overall social stability.2014.5With great tenacity, the Chinese nation has emerged resilient from trials and tribulations. It has never given up its pursuit of great dreams. The great renewal of the Chinese nation has been a long-cherished dream of the Chinese nation since modern times.In this new historical era, the Chinese dream that we are pursuing is about three things: economic prosperity, national renewal, and happiness of the Chinese people. We have two goals: First, to double the 2010 GDP and per capitain come of both urban and rural residents and finish the building of a moderately prosperous society in all respects by 2020. Second, to build a modern socialist country that is strong, prosperous, democratic, culturally advanced and harmonious and fulfill the Chinese dream of achieving the great renewal of the Chinese nation by mid-21st century.To realize the Chinese dream, we must stay on the path of socialism with Chinese characteristics. We have been on this path for over 30 years. History has proven it to be the right path that suits China’s national conditions, bringing about prosperity to China and its people. We will continue to advance along this path.To realize the Chinese dream, we must promote the Chinese spirit. We need to boost the morale of the whole nation with the patriotism-imbued national spirit and call of the time, namely, reform and innovation.To realize the Chinese dream, we must pool the strength of the whole country. Empty talk is harmful to the nation, while doing practical work will make it thrive. With the wisdom and strength of the 1.3 billion Chinese and through the unremitting efforts of generations of the Chinese people, we will make China strong and the Chinese nation prosperous.To realize the Chinese dream, we must pursue peaceful development. We will unwaveringly follow the path of peaceful development and the win-win strategy of opening-up. We will both pursue China’s development and live up to our responsibilities and make our due contribution to the world. We will work for the common good of both the Chinese people and the people of the world. When realized, the Chinese dream will bring peace and opportunities to the world, not turbulence or threat.2014.11Energy security has a close bearing on the stability and growth of the world economy and the well-being of people in all countries. Against the backdrop of the global financial crisis,ensuring energy security is vital to effectively tackling the impact of the crisis and promoting the full recovery and long-term development of the world economy.To this end,the international community should foster a new energy security outlook featuring mutually beneficial cooperation,diversified development and coordinated supply. Joint efforts must be made to stabilize the prices of energy and other commodities and prevent excessive speculation and market hype,so as to meet the energy demands of all countries,particularly the developing countries,and maintain order in the energy market. Meanwhile,countries should improve their own energy mix,promote the research,development and diffusion of advanced technologies,vigorously develop clean and renewable energies,and actively advance international cooperation in relevant fields.The Chinese government attaches great importance to issues of energy and energy security. In addressing these issues,we adhere to the principle of “giving priority to conservation,mainly relying on domestic supply,seeking diversified development and protecting the environment”. We have strengthened mutually beneficial cooperation with the international community,made vigorous efforts to improve and adjust the energy mix and build a reliable,economical,clean and safe energy supply system,speeded up the building of a resources-conserving and environment-friendly society. Before the Copenhagen Climate Change Conference,China announced the target of increasing the share of non-fossil fuel in primary energy consumption to 15% and a 40-45% decrease of CO2 emissions per unit of GDP on the 2005 level by 2020. China is ready to work with other countries to establish a long-term energy cooperation mechanism and make its due contribution to ensuring global energy security and tackling climate change.。

The time for this part is 120 minutes.2004年5月翻译三级笔译(实务)全真试卷Parents are required by law to see that their childrenreceive full-time education, at school or elsewhere, between theages of 5 and 16 in England, Scotland and Wales and 4 and 16 inNorthern Ireland. About 93 percent of pupils receive freeeducation from public funds, while the others attend independentschools financed by fees paid by parents.Many, aged 3-4 years, children attend nursery schools andclasses (or, in England, reception classes in primary schools).Pre-school education may also be provided in some private daynurseries and pre-school playgroups (which are largely organizedby parents).The Government has stated its commitment to a major expansion of pre-school education and wants all children to begin schoolwith a basic foundation in literacy and numeracy. From September1998 it is providing free nursery education in England and Walesfor all 4 year olds whose parents want it, and is committed tostaged targets for provision for 3 year olds thereafter. Localeducation authorities, in partnership with private and voluntaryproviders, have drawn up "early years development plans" forsecuring these objectives. The plans are designed to show how co-operation between private nurseries, playgroups and schools canbest serve the interests of children and their parents. From April 1999, early years development partnerships and plans will beexpanded to deliver quality childcare integrated with earlyeducation. In addition, the Government is working with localauthorities and others in England to establish "early excellencecenters" designed to demonstrate good practice in education andchildcare.In Scotland, local education authorities have been taking the leading role, from August 1998, in planning and co-ordinating pre-school education and in providing places, working in partnershipwith voluntary and private providers. The Government planned togive all children in the pre-school year access to quality, part-time education by the winter of 1998.Northern Ireland has a lower compulsory school age of 4 and a single school entry date in September each year. A pre-schooleducation expansion programme, undertaken through partnershipbetween the education and library boards, other statutoryproviders and the private and voluntary sectors, has providedadditional pre-school places.1. 深色:已答题 浅色:未答题该题您未回答:х该问题分值: 1答案:按照法律规定,在英格兰、苏格兰和威尔士,家长一定要使自己的孩子在5岁至16岁期间在学校或其它地方接受全日制教育,在北爱尔兰则为4岁至16岁。

At the age of twelve she was reading the Greek and Latin classics and passages from the Bible. And eventually.Mrs.Wheatley decided Phyllis should become a Christian.At the age of thirteen Phyllis wrote her first poem.She became a Boston sensation after shewrote a poem on the death of the evangelical preacher George Whitfield in1770.It became common practice in Boston to have"Mrs.Wheatley's Phyllis"read poetry in polite society.Mary married in1771,and Phyllis later moved to the country because of poor health,as a teacher and caretaker to a farmer's three children.Mary had tried to interest publishers in Phyllis's poems but once they heard she was a Negro they weren't interested.Then in1773Phyllis went with Nathaniel,who was now a businessman,to London.It was thought that a sea voyage might improve her health.Thirty-nine of her poems were published in London as Poems on Various Subjects,Religious and Moral.It was the first book published by a black American.In1775Phyllis wrote a poem extolling the accomplishments of George Washington and sent it to him.He responded by praising her talents and inviting her to visit his headquarters.After both of her benefactors died in1777,and Mary died in1778,Phyllis was freed as a slave.She married in1778,moved away from Boston,and had three children.But after the unhappy marriage,she moved back to Boston,and died in poverty at the age of thirty.51.What does the passage mainly discuss?A.Slavery and the treatment of

black.B.She would have written poetry if she had stayed in Africa.C.She went unrecognized as a poet during her lifetime.D.She only wrote religious poetry.About fifty years ago,plant physiologists set out to grow roots by themselves in solutions in laboratory flasks.The scientists found that the nutrition of isolated roots was quite simple.They required sugar and the usual minerals and vitamins.However,they did not require organic nitrogen compounds.These roots got along fine on mineral inorganic nitrogen.Roots are capable of making their own proteins and other organic compounds.These activities by roots require energy,of course:The process of respiration uses sugar to make the high energy compound ATP, which drives the biochemical reactions.Respiration also requires oxygen.Highly active roots require a good deal of oxygen.The study of isolated roots has provided an understanding of the relationship between shoots and roots in intact plants.The leaves of the shoots provide the roots with sugar and vitamins,and the roots provide the shoots with water and minerals.In addition,roots can provide the shoots with organic nitrogen compounds.This comes in handy for the growth of buds in the early spring when leaves are not yet functioning.Once leaves begin photosynthesizing,they produce protein,but only mature leaves can"export"protein to the rest of the plant in the form of amino acids.61.What is the main topic of the passage?A.The relationship between a plant's roots and its shoots.B.What can be learned by growing roots in isolation.C.How plants can be grown without roots.D.What elements are necessary for the growth of plants.62.The underlined word"themselves"in Paragraph1refers to______A.plant physiologistsB.solutionsboratory flasksD.roots63.The scientists found what the isolated roots need is______A.quite naturalB.sugar,minerals and vitaminsC.some rare vitaminsanic nitrogen compounds64.Roots have the ability to______A.make proteinsB.obtain fresh airC.produce inorganic nitrogenD.carry out activities without energy65.According to the passage,what is ATP?A.A biochemical process.B.The tip of a root.C.A chemical compound.D.A type of plant cell.66.The underlined word"intact"in Paragraph2is closest in meaning to______A.matureB.wildC.wholeD.tiny67.The use of the phrase"comes in handy"underlined in Paragraph2indicates that the process is______A.unavoidableB.predictableC.necessaryD.successful68.It can be inferred from the passage that,in the early spring,the buds of plants______A."export"protein in the form of amino acidsB.do not require waterC.have begun photosynthesizingD.obtain organic compounds from the root69.Which of the following best describes the organization of the passage?A.The results of two experiments are compared.B.A generalization is made,and several examples of it are given.C.The findings of an experiment are explained.D.A hypothesis is presented,and several means of proving it are suggested.70.Where is this passage likely to be found?A.A newsletter.B.A magazine.C.A storybook.D.A novel.Natural flavorings and fragrances are often costly and limited in supply.For example,the vital ingredient in a rose fragrance is extracted from natural rose oil at a cost of thousands of dollars a pound;an identical synthetic substance can be made for1%of this cost.Since the early twentieth century,success in reproducing these substances has created a new industry that today produces hundreds of artificial flavors and fragrances.Some natural fragrances are easily synthesized;these include vanillin,the aromatic ingredient in vanilla,and benzaldehyde,the aromatic ingredient in wild cherries.Other fragrances,however, have dozens,even hundreds of components.Only recently has it been possible to separate and identit3,these ingredients by the use of gas chromatography and spectroscopy.Once the chemical identity is known,it is often possible to synthesize them.Nevertheless,some complex substances, such as the aroma of fresh coffee,have still not been duplicated satisfactorily.Many of the chemical compounds making up these synthetics are identical to those found in nature,and are as harmless or harmful as the natural substances.New products must be tested for safety,and when used in food,must be approved by the U.S.Food and Drug Administration.The availability of synthetic flavors and fragrances has made possible a large variety of products,from inexpensive beverages to perfumed soap to used cars with applied"new car odor."71.From the passage we can learn that______A.natural flavorings and fragrances are not quite dearB.the limitation of natural flavorings and fragrances is clearC.the supply of natural flavorings and fragrances is adequate to meet the demandD.the cost of producing natural flavorings and fragrances is high72.Which of the following is true according to the passage?A.Natural rose fragrance is100times more expensive to produce than artificial rose fragrance.B.The most important ingredient in a rose fragrance is obtained from natural rose oil at a low cost.C.A different synthetic substance can be made for1%of the cost.D.Natural rose oil costs the same as its fragrances.73.The industry of producing hundreds of artificial flavors and fragrances probably appeared in______A.2000B.1953C.1909D.181074.According to the passage,all the following are easier to synthesize EXCEPT______A.aromatic ingredient in vanillaB.vanillaC.aromatic ingredient in wild cherryD.the flavor of fresh coffee75.The underlined word"duplicated"in Paragraph2is closest in meaning to______A.make doubleB.make a copy ofC.produce something equal toD.take from76.Why does the author mention fresh coffee in Paragraph2?A.As an example of complex substances having not been duplicated satisfactorily.B.Because the coffee fragrance is hard to produce.C.To conclude the passage.D.The smell of fresh coffee is inviting.77.______a substance can be synthesized.A.Upon identifying the basic components of itB.Once chemically analyzedC.When gas chromatography is usedD.If spectroscopy is adopted78.It can be inferred from the passage that______A.vanillin is easier to synthesize than benzaldehydeB.not all synthetic flavors are harmlessC.in general,the less components there are in a fragrance,the harder it is to synthesizeD.synthesized substances must be tested for safety only if they are used in food79.Which of the following is the best title for tile passage?A.How to Synthesize FragrancesB.Synthetic Substances Are Easy to MakeC.Natural Flavorings and FragrancesD.Synthetic Flavors and Fragrances80.Which of the following is NOT true according to the last paragraph?A.Synthetic fragrances can be used to make a used car smell like a new one.B.Synthetic flavors and fragrances have added to the varieties of products.C.Lemon soap is made out of some delicious lemon.D.It is likely that a bottle of orange juice is synthesized.Some people associate migration mainly with birds.Birds do travel vast distances,but mammals also migrate.An example is the caribou,reindeer that graze on the grassy slopes of northern Canada.When the weather turns cold,they travel south until spring.Their tracks are so well-worn that they are clearly visible from the air.Another migrating mammal is the Alaska fur seal.These seals breed only in the Pribilot Islands in the Bering Sea.The young are born in June and by September are strong enough to go with their mothers on a journey of over3,000miles. Together they swim down the Pacific Coast of North America.The females and young travel as far as southern California.The males do not journey so far.They swim only to the Gulf of Alaska.In the spring,males and females all return to the islands,and there the cycle begins again.Whales are among the greatest migrators of all.The humpback and blue whales migrate thousands of miles each year from the polar seas to the tropics.Whales eat huge quantities of plankton.These are most abundant in cold polar waters.In winter,the whales move to warm waters to breed and give birth to their young.81.From the passage we can learn that______A.people migrate like animalsB.only birds migrateC.the female fur seals migrate only to the Gulf of AlaskaD.not all mammals migrate82.The phrase"An example"underlined in Paragraph1refers to an example of a______A.migratory mammalB.place where animals migrateC.migrating birdD.person who associates migration with birds83.All the mammals are mentioned as migrating ones EXCEPT______A.caribouB.fin whaleC.reindeerD.Alaska fur seal84.Where can you see from the air the migration of the mammals?A.In the Pribilot Islands.B.In the Bering Sea.C.In southern California.D.In northern Canada.85.Which of the following is NOT true?A.Whales breed in winter.B.Young whales are given birth in cold waters.C.Alaska fur seals give birth to the young only in one area.D.Alaska fur seals are born in warm weather.86.Together______of Alaska fur seals swim down the Pacific Coast of North America.A.mothers and the youngB.fathers and the youngC.parents and the youngD.seals and whales87.Which of the following is NOT described in the passage?A.Whales migrate to breed and give birth to their young.B.Whale-watching in Boston in summer is attracting.C.Seals breed in the north before migration.D.Reindeer feed on grass.88.Whales live on______A.tiny plants and animals in the seaB.the grassy slopes of northern CanadaC.their young in cold winterD.the abundant seafood in tropic waters89.How many kinds of migrating mammals are mentioned in the passage?A.Four.B.Three.C.Two.D.One.90.What is the best title of the passage?A.Three Types of WhalesB.Birds MigrationC.Mammals Also MigrateD.Several Kinds of MigrationElectronic mail has become an extremely important and popular means of communication.The convenience and efficiency of electronic mail are threatened by the extremely rapid growth in the volume of unsolicited commercial electronic mail.Unsolicited commercial electronic mail is currently estimated to account for over half of all electronic mall traffic,up from an estimated7percent in2001,and the volume continues to rise.Most of these messages are fraudulent or deceptive in one or more respects.The receipt of unsolicited commercial electronic mail may result in costs to recipients who cannot refuse to accept such mail and who incur costs for the storage of such mail,or for the time spent accessing,reviewing,and discarding such mail,or for both.The receipt of a large number of unwanted messages also decreases the convenience of electronic mall and creates a risk that wanted electronic mail messages,both commercial and noncommercial,will be lost,overlooked, or discarded amidst the larger volume of unwanted messages,thus reducing the reliability and usefulness of electronic mail to the recipient.Some commercial electronic mail contains material that many recipients may consider vulgar or pornographic in nature.The growth in unsolicited commercial electronic mail imposes significant monetary costs on providers of Internet access services,businesses,and educational and nonprofit institutions that carry and receive such mail,as there is a finite volume of mail that such providers,businesses,and institutions can handle without further investment in infrastructure.Many senders of unsolicited commercial electronic mail purposefully disguise the source of such mall.Many senders of unsolicited commercial electronic mall purposefully include misleading information in the messages'subject lines in order to induce the recipients to view the messages. While some senders of commercial electronic mail messages provide simple and reliable ways for recipients to reject(or'opt-out'of)receipt of commercial electronic mall from such senders in the future,other senders provide no such'opt-out'mechanism,or refuse to honor the requests of recipients not to receive electronic mail from such senders in the future,or both.Many senders of bulk unsolicited commercial electronic mail use computer programs to gather large numbers of electronic mail addresses on an automated basis from Internet websites or online services where users must post their addresses in order to make full use of the website or service.The problems associated with the rapid growth and abuse of unsolicited commercial electronic mall cannot be solved by the government alone.The development and adoption of techno-logical approaches and the pursuit of cooperative efforts with other countries will be necessary as well.91.According to the passage,efficiency of e-mail is threatened by______A.heavy e-mail trafficB.fraudulent e-mail messagesrge volume of messagesD.increasing amount of unwanted e-mail92.Which of the following is NOT true about unwanted e-mail?A.It costs money to receive them.B.It's free to store them.C.It takes time to access them.D.It takes time to throw them away.93.Unwanted e-mail may______A.cause companies to fail in businessB.cause wanted e-mail messages to loseC.damage the credit of a companyD.do good to a small company94."Pornographic"in Paragraph3probably means______A.decentB.instructionalC.sexualmercial95.What does unwanted e-mail messages do to the providers of the Internet services?A.Raising their cost.B.Raising the Internet speed.C.Improving their business.D.Attracting investment.96."Disguise"in Paragraph4is closest in meaning to______A.revealB.hideC.deliverD.post97.The word"induce"in Paragraph5is closest in meaning to______A.cheatB.introduceC.provideD.harm98."Opt-out"mechanism is probably______A.a machine that can be attached to your computerB.a button that you can make a choice to read or not to readC.a software that you can play a computer gameD.an e-mail that says some good words to you99.It can be inferred from Paragraph6that bulk unsolicited commercial e-mail will probably spread______A.harmful virusB.unpleasant newsC.advertisementsD.adult jokes100.The unwanted e-mail problem can be solved if______A.the government takes action。

She was born in Senegal, Africa, about 1753 and brought to America abroad a slave ship at about the age of seven. John and Susannah Wheatley bought her for three pounds at a slave auction in Boston in 1761 to be a personal servant of Mrs. Wheatley. The family had three other slaves, and all were treated with respect. Phyllis was soon accepted as one of the family, which included being raised and educated with the Wheatley's twin15- year-old children, Mary and Nathaniel. At that time, most females, even from better families, could not read and write, but Mary was probably one of the best educated young women in Boston. Mary wanted to become a teacher, and in fact, it was Mary who decided to take charge of Phyllis's education. Phyllis soon displayedher remarkable talents. At the age of twelve she was reading the Greek and Latin classics and passages from the Bible. And eventually, Mrs. Wheatley decided Phyllis should become a Christian.At the age of thirteen Phyllis wrote her first poem. She became a Boston sensation after she wrote a poem on the death of the evangelical preacher George Whitfield in 1770. It became common practice in Boston to have “Mrs. Wheatley's Phyllis” read poetry in polite society. Mary married in 1771, and Phyllis later moved to the country because of poor health, as a teacherand caretaker to a farmer's three children. Mary had tried to interest publishers in Phyllis's poems but once they heard she was a Negro they weren't interested.Then in 1773 Phyllis went with Nathaniel, who was now a businessman, to London.It was thought that a sea voyage might improve her health. Thirty-nine of her poems were published in London as Poems on Various Subjects, Religious and Moral. It was the first book published by a black American. In 1775 Phyllis wrote a poem extolling the accomplishments of George Washington and sent it to him. He responded by praising her talents and inviting her to visit his headquarters. After both of her benefactors died in 1777, and Mary died in1778, Phyllis was freed as a slave. She married in 1778, moved away from Boston, and had three children. But after the unhappy marriage, she moved back to Boston, and died in poverty at the age of thirty.51. What does the passage mainly discuss?A.

She only wrote religious poetry.(2)About fifty years ago, plant physiologists set out to grow roots by themselvesin solutions in laboratory flasks. The scientists found that the nutrition of isolated roots was quite simple. They required sugar and the usual minerals and vitamins. However, they did not require organic nitrogen compounds. These roots got along fine on mineral inorganic nitrogen. Roots are capable of making their own proteins and other organic compounds. These activities by roots require energy, of course. The process of respiration uses sugar to make the high energy compound ATP, which drives the biochemical reactions. Respiration also require oxygen. Highly active roots require a good deal of oxygen.The study of isolated roots has provided an understanding of the relationship between shoots and roots in intact plants. The leaves of the shoots provide the roots with sugar and vitamins, and the roots provide the shoots with water and minerals.comesThis compounds. nitrogen organic with shoots the provide can roots addition, Inin handy for the growth of buds in the early spring whenleaves are not yet functioning. Once leaves begin photosynthesizing, they produce protein, but only mature leaves can “export” protein to the rest of the plant in the form of amino acids.61. What is the main topic of the passage?A. The relationship between a plant's roots and its shoots.B. What can be learned by growing roots in isolation.C. How plants can be grown without roots.D.

A storybookD. A novel(3)Natural flavorings and fragrances are often costly and limited in supply. For example, the vital ingredient in a rose fragrance is extracted from natural rose oil at a cost of thousands of dollars a pound; an identical synthetic substance can be made for 1% of this cost. Since the early twentieth century, success in reproducingthese substances has created a new industry that today produces hundreds of artificial flavors and fragrances.Some natural fragrances are easily synthesized; these include vanillin, the aromatic ingredient in vanilla, and benzaldehyde, the aromatic ingredient in wild cherries. Other fragrances, however, have dozens, even hundreds of components. Only recently has it been possible to separate and identify these ingredients by the use of gas chromatography and spectroscopy. Once the chemical identity is known, it is often possible to synthesize them. Nevertheless, some complex substances such as the aroma of fresh coffee, have still not been duplicated satisfactorily.Many of the chemical compounds making up these synthetics are identical to those found in nature, and are as harmless or harmful as the natural substances. New products must be tested for safety, and when used in food, must be approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration.The availability of synthetic flavors and fragrances has made possible a large variety of products, from inexpensive beverages to perfumed soap to used cars with applied “new car odor”.71. From the passage we can learn that___.A. natural flavorings and fragrances are not quite dearB. the limitation of natural flavorings and fragrances is clearC. the supply of natural flavorings and fragrances is adequate to meet the demandD. the cost of producing natural flavorings and fragrances is high72. Which of the following is true according to the passage?A. Natural rose fragrance is 100 times more expensive to produce than artificial rose fragrance.B. The most important ingredient in a rose fragrance is obtained from natural rose oil at a low cost.C. A different synthetic substance can be made for 1% of the cost.D. Natural rose oil costs the same as its fragrances.73. The industry of producing hundreds of artificial flavors and fragrances probably appeared in___.A. 2000B. 1953C.1909D.181074. According to the passage, all the following are easier to synthesize EXCEPT___.A. aromatic ingredient in vanillaB. vanillaC. aromatic ingredient in wild cherryD. the flavor of flesh coffee75. The underlined word “duplicated” in Paragraph 2 is closest in meaning to___.A. make doubleB. make a copy ofC. produce something equal toD. take from76. Why does the author mention fresh coffee in Paragraph 2?A. As an example of complex substances having not been duplicated satisfactorily.B. Because the coffee fragrance is hard to produce.。

Families trying to escape the heat of New York City found the Catskills to be the perfect place to stay for a month or so each summer. By the late 1950s there were over 500 resorts and hotels offering nighttime entertainment as well as all kinds of outdoor activities. Famous comedians like Jackie Gleason, Joan Rivers, and Sid Caesar all got their start touring the hotel clubs here. Since the introduction of air-conditioning and cheaper air travel, however, families have stopped coming to the Catskills in such large numbers, choosing instead more distant locations at different times of the year. Many of the Catskills hotels closed in the 1970s, but some remain and have expanded and changed their facilities to meet the needs of today’s visitors.Currently, there are many activities available to the traveler besides witnessing the changing colors of the leaves. There is an all-organic sheep farm where visitors can see how a traditional sheep farm operates. There are also hundreds of miles of scenic drives in the area. Route 42, for instance, is an excellent site for spotting bald eagles.

SheepQuestions 71-80 are based on the following passage.First, of course, it is plain that in a few years everyone will haveat his elbow several times more mechanical energy than he has today.Second, there will be advances in biological knowledge as far-reaching as those that have been made in physics. We are only beginning to learnthat we can control our biological environment as well as our physical one. Starvation has been prophesied twice to a growing world population: by Malthus about billion and by Crookes about billion. It was headed offthe first time by taking agriculture to America and the second time byusing the new fertilizers. Soon starvation will be headed off by thecontrol of the diseases and the heredity of plants and animals — by shaping our own biological environment.And third, I come back to the haunting theme of automation. The most common species in the factory today is the man who works or minds a simple machine — the operator. Before long he will be as extinct as the hand-loom weaver and the dodo (老古董). The repetitive tasks of industry willbe taken over by the machines, as the heavy tasks were taken over long ago; and the mental tedium will go the way of physical exhaustion. Today westill distinguish, even among repetitive jobs, between the skilled and the unskilled, but in a few years to come all repetition will be unskilled. We simply waste our time if we oppose this change.article was written to ________.A. warn us of impending starvationB. present facts about life in the near futureC. oppose biological advancesD. warn of the danger of automationthe coming years, people will ________.A. have more machines at their disposalB. experience starvationC. never workD. have fewer machines at their disposalin biological knowledge have ________.A. kept pace with those in physicsB. been responsible for the invention of new machinesC. surpassed those in physicsD. lagged behind those in physicsare beginning to learn that we ________.A. can control our physical environmentB. can never control our biological environmentC. have no control over our physical environmentD. can control both our biological and physical environmentsthe near future, starvation will be prevented by ________.A. Chinese agricultureB. use of new fertilizersC. control of the diseases and the heredity of plants and animalsD. vitamin pillsof the following is NOT trueA. The mental tedium will not exist in the end.B. Hand-loom weaver is the thing of the past.C. Automation is an out-of-date topic today.D. Physical burden in the factory has already been replaced.author believes before long, machines will ________.A. actually replace unskilled workersB. have learned to think for usC. be shaped like robotsD. no longer be neededrepetitive tasks of industry lead to ________.A. physical exhaustionB. mental stimulationC. mental exhaustionD. physical extinction79.If the author’s predictions are realized, the demand for unskilled workers will be________.A. very highB. very lowC. the same as todayD. constantly risingthe passage, increased automation ________.A. can be successfully opposedB. cannot be avoidedC. has not yet begunD. will put everyone out of workQuestions 81-90 are based on the following passage.Of all the areas of learning the most important is the development of attitudes. Emotional reactions as well as logical thought processes affect the behavior of most people.“The burnt child fears the fire” is one instance; another is therise of despots like Hitler. Both examples also point up the fact that attitudes stem from experience. In one case the experience was direct and impressive; in the other it was indirect and cumulative. The Nazis were indoctrinated largely by the speeches they heard and the books they read.The classroom teacher in the elementary school is in a strategic position to influence attitudes. This is true partly because children acquire attitudes from those adults whose word they respect.Another reason it is true is that pupils often delve somewhat deeply into a subject in school that has only been touched upon at home or has possibly never occurred to them before. To a child who had previously acquired little knowledge of Mexico, his teacher’s method of handling such a unit would greatly affect his attitude toward Mexicans.The media through which the teacher can develop wholesome attitudes are innumerable. Social studies (with special reference to races, creedsand nationalities), science matters of health and safety, the veryatmo sphere of the classroom… these are a few of the fertile fields for the inculcation of proper emotional reactions.However, when children come to school with undesirable attitudes, it is unwise for the teacher to attempt to change their feelings by cajoling or scolding them. She can achieve the proper effect by helping them obtain constructive experiences.To illustrate, first grade pupils afraid of policemen will probably alter their attitudes after a classroom chat with the neighborhood officer in which he explains how he protects them. In the same way, a class of older children can develop attitudes through discussion, research, outside reading and all-day trips.Finally, a teacher must constantly evaluate her own attitudes, because her influence can be deleterious if she has personal prejudices. This is especially true in respect to controversial issues and questions on which children should be encouraged to reach their own decisions as a result of objective analysis of all the facts.central idea of the above passage is that ________.A. attitudes affect our actionsB. teachers are important in developing or changing pupils’ attitudesC. attitudes can be changed by some classroom experiencesD. by their attitudes, teachers inadvertently affect pupils’ attitudes word “despot” underlined in Paragraph 2 means a person ________.A. who enjoys a high reputationB. who is very successful in politicsC. with unlimited powersD. who deposits a large sum of money in a bankpupils’ at titudes are NOT influenced by ________.A. their parents’ persuasion to behave properlyB. their teachers’ attitudesC. the speeches they hear and the books they readD. such media as social studies, science matter and classroom atmosphere can be inferred from the passage that the pupils ________.A. usually study a certain subject in greater details at home than at schoolB. usually do not study a certain subject at homeC. study the subjects only at schoolD. study a subject more deeply at school than at homeexample of the pupils’ learning about Mexico shows that ________.A. a child usually learns the right things from their teachersB. a teacher can correct a pupil’s wrong ideasC. a teacher’s attitude can influence a child’s attitude by teachingD. a child’s attitude is very changeableauthor implies that ________.A. the teacher should guide all discussions by revealing her own attitudeB. in some aspects of social studies a greater variety of methods can be used in the upper grades than in the lower gradesC. people usually act on the basis of reasoning rather than emotionD. children’s attitudes often come from those of other childrenstatement made or implied in the passage is that ________.can be based on the learning of falsehoodschild can develop in the classroom an attitude about the importance of brushing his teethcannot easily be changed by rewards and lecturesattitudes of elementary school-aged children are influenced primarily by their teacherspassage specifically states that ________.experiences are more valuable than indirect onesattitudes a child learns in school have already been introduced at home should always conceal their own attitudescan sometimes have an unwholesome influence on childrenthe last paragraph, we can see that ________.teacher’s influence on children is always positiveshould be encouraged to reach their own decisions by ignoring objective factsimproperly handled, a teacher’s influence can be very harmful to the childrenmay develop prejudices i f the teacher’s attitude is wrongauthor of this passage tries to ________.certain facts of how the development of a person’s attitude can be influencedthat our society is not doing enough to help children shape their attitudesout that teachers are the only people who can influence the children’s attitudesthat speeches and books are the only factors to indoctrinate childrenSection 3: Cloze Test (10 points)In the following passage, there are 20 blanks representing words that are missing from the context.
