Mark the best choice for each blank on your answer sheet. People thinking about the origin of language for the first time usually arrive at the conclusion that it developed gradually as a system of grunts, hisses and cries and ( 26 ) a very simple affair in the beginning.( 27 ), when we observe the language behaviour of ( 28 )we regard as primitive cultures,we find it ( 29 )complicated. It was believed that an Eskimo must have the tip of his tongue a vocabulary of more than 10,000 words ( 30 ) to get along reasonably well, much larger than the active vocabulary of an average businessman who speaks English.( 31 ), these Eskimo words are far more highly infleeted(词尾变 化的) than ( 32 ) of any of the well -known European languages,for a( 33 )noun can be spoken or written in ( 34 ) hundred different forms, each ( 35 )a precise meaning different from that of any other. The forms of the verbs are even more ( 36 ). The Eskimo language is, therefore,one of the most difficult in the world to learn,( 37 ) the result that almost no traders or explorers have( 38 )tried to learn it. Consequently , there has grown up, in communication between Eskimos and whites, a jargon ( 39 )to the pidgin English used in Old China, with a vocabulary of from 300 to 600 uninflected words. Most of them are derived from Eskimo but some are derived from English, Danish,Spanish, Hawaiian and other languages. It is this jargon that is usually( 40 ) by travellers as “the Eskimo language”. 26. A. must be B. must have been C. ought to be D. should be 27. A. However B. Therefore C. Probably D. Undoubtedly 28. A. whose B. that C.which D.what 29. A. conspicuously B. usually C. surprisingly D. sufficiently 30. A.so as B.so that C. as such D. as well as 31. A. However B. Moreover C. Though D. Therefore 32. A. the others B. all others C. these D. those 33. A. single B. singular C. plural D. compound 34. A. some B. several C. various D. varied 35. A. getting B. causing C. having D. owning 36.

marked A),B),C)and D).You should decide on the best choice and mark the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet with a single line through the centre.Passage oneQuestions21to25are based on the following passage.Some pessimistic experts feel that the automobile is bound to fall into disuse. They see a day in the not-too-distant future when all autos will be abandoned and allowed to rust.Other authorities,however,think the auto is here to stay.They hold that the car will remain a leading means of urban travel in the foreseeable future.The motorcar will undoubtedly change significantly over the next30years.It should become smaller,safer,and more economical,and should not be powered by the gasoline engine.The car of the future should be far more pollution-free than present types.Regardless of its power source,the auto in the future will still be the main problem in urban traffic congestion(拥挤).One proposed solution to this problem is the automated highway system.When the auto enters the highway system, a retractable(可伸缩的)arm will drop from the auto and make contact with a rail, which is similar to those powering subway trains electrically.Once attached to the rail,the car will become electrically powered from the system,and control of the vehicle will pass to a central computer.The computer will then monitor all of the car’s movements.The driver will use a telephone to dial instructions about his destination into the system.The computer will calculate the best route,and reserve space for the car all the way to the correct exit from the highway.The driver will then be free to relax and wait for the buzzer(蜂鸣器)that will warn him of his coming exit.It is estimated that an automated highway will be able to handle10,000vehicles per hour, compared with the1,500to2,000vehicles that can be carried by a present-day highway.21.One significant improvement in the future car will probably be________.A)its power sourceB)its driving systemC)its monitoring systemD)its seating capacity22.What is the author’s main concern?A)How to render automobiles pollution-free.B)How to make smaller and safer automobiles.C)How to solve the problem of traffic jams.D)How to develop an automated subway system.23.What provides autos with electric power in an automated highway system?A)A rail.B)An engine.C)A retractable arm.D)A computer controller.24.In an automated highway system,all the driver needs to do is________.A)keep in the right laneB)wait to arrive at his destinationC)keep in constant touch with the computer centerD)inform the system of his destination by phone25.What is the author’s attitude toward the future of autos?A)Enthusiastic.B)Pessimistic.C)Optimistic.D)Cautious.Passage TwoQuestions26to30are based on the following passage.Foxes and farmers have never got on well.These small dog-like animals have long been accused of killing farm animals.They are officially classified as harmful and farmers try to keep their numbers down by shooting or poisoning them.Farmers can also call on the services of their local hunt to control the fox population.Hunting consists of pursuing a fox across the countryside,with a group of specially trained dogs,followed by men and women riding horses.When the dogs eventually catch the fox they kill it or a hunter shoots it.People who take part in hunting think of as a sport; they wear a special uniform of red coats and white trousers,and follow strict codes ofbehavior.But owning a horse and hunting regularly is expensive,so most hunters are wealthy.It is estimated that up to100,000people watch or take part in fox hunting. But over the last couple of decades the number of people opposed to fox hunting, because they think it is brutal(残酷的),has risen sharply.Nowadays it is rare for a hunt to pass off without some kind of confrontation(冲突)between hunters and hunt saboteurs(阻拦者).Sometimes these incidents lead to violence,but mostly saboteurs interfere with the hunt by misleading riders and disturbing the trail of the fox’s smell, which the dogs follow.Noisy confrontations between hunters and saboteurs have become so common that they are almost as much a part of hunting as the pursuit of foxes itself.But this year supporters of fox hunting face a much bigger threat to their sport.A Labour Party Member of the Parliament,Mike Foster,is trying to get Parliament to approve a new law which will make the hunting of wild animals with dogs illegal.If the law is passed,wild animals like foxes will be protected under the ban in Britain.26.Rich people in Britain have been hunting foxes________.A)for recreationB)in the interests of the farmersC)to limit the fox populationD)to show off their wealth27.What is special about fox hunting in Britain?A)It involves the use of a deadly poison.B)It is a costly event which rarely occurs.C)The hunters have set rules to follow.D)The hunters have to go through strict training.28.Fox hunting opponents often interfere in the game________.A)by resorting to violenceB)by confusing the fox huntersC)by taking legal actionD)by demonstrating on the scene29.A new law may be passed by the British Parliament to________.A)prohibit farmers from hunting foxesB)forbid hunting foxes with dogsC)stop hunting wild animals in the countrysideD)prevent large-scale fox hunting30.It can be inferred from the passage that________.A)killing foxes with poison is illegalB)limiting the fox population is unnecessaryC)hunting foxes with dogs is considered cruel and violentD)fox-hunting often leads to confrontation between the poor and the richPassage ThreeQuestions31to35are based on the following passage.For an increasing number of students at American universities,Old is suddenly in. The reason is obvious:the graying of America means jobs,coupled with the aging of the baby-boom(生育高峰)generation,a longer life span means that the nation’selderly population is bound to expand significantly over the next50years.By2050, 25percent of all Americans will be older than65,up from14percent in1995.The change poses profound questions for government and society,of course.But it also creates career opportunities in medicine and health professions,and in law and business as well.“In addition to the doctors,we’re going to need more sociologists, biologists,urban planners and specialized lawyers,”says Professor Edward Schneider of the University of Southern California’s(USC)School of Gerontology(老年学). Lawyers can specialize in“elder law,”which covers everything from trusts and estates to nursing-home abuse and age discrimination(歧视).Businessmen see huge opportunities in the elder market because the baby boomers,74million strong,are likely to be the wealthiest group of retirees in human history.“Any student who combines an expert knowledge in gerontology with,say,an MBA or law degree will have a license to print money,”one professor says.Margarite Santos is a21-year-old senior at USC.She began college as a biology major but found she was“really bored with bacteria.”So she took a class in gerontology and discovered that she lied it.She says,“I did volunteer work in retirement homes and it was very satisfying.”31.“...Old is suddenly in”(Line1,Para.1)most probably means“________”.A)America has suddenly become a nation of old peopleB)gerontology has suddenly become popularC)more elderly professors are found on American campusesD)American colleges have realized the need of enrolling older students32.With the aging of America,lawyers can benefit________.A)from the adoption of the“elder law”B)from rendering special services to the elderlyC)by enriching their professional knowledgeD)by winning the trust of the elderly to promote their own interests33.Why can businessmen make money in the emerging elder market?A)Retirees are more generous in spending money.B)They can employ more gerontologists.C)The elderly possess an enormous purchasing power.D)There are more elderly people working than before.34.Who can make big money in the new century according to the passage?A)Retirees who are business-minded.B)The volunteer workers in retirement homes.C)College graduates with an MBA or law degree.D)Professionals with a good knowledge of gerontology.35.It can be seen from the passage that the expansion of America’s elderly population ________.A)will provide good job opportunities in many areasB)will impose an unbearable burden on societyC)may lead to nursing home abuse and age discriminationD)will create new fields of study in universitiesPassage FourQuestions36to40are based on the following passage.The decline in moral standards—which has long concerned social analysts—has at last captured the attention of average Americans.And Jean Bethke Elshtain,for one, is glad.The fact the ordinary citizens are now starting to think seriously about the nation’s moral climate,says this ethics(伦理学)professor at the University of Chicago,is reason to hope that new ideas will come forward to improve it.But the challenge is not to be underestimated.Materialism and individualism in American society are the biggest obstacles.“The thought that‘I’m in it for me’has become deeply rooted in the national consciousness,”Ms.Elshtain says.Some of this can be attributed to the disintegration of traditional communities,in which neighbors looked out for one another,she says.With today’s greater mobility and with so many couples working,those bonds have been weakened,replaced by a greater emphasis on self.In a1996poll of Americans,loss of morality topped the list of the biggest problems facing the U.S.and Elshtain says the public is correct to sense that:Data show that Americans are struggling with problems unheard of in the1950s,such as classroom violence and a high rate of births to unmarried mothers.The desire for a higher moral standard is not a lament(挽歌)for some nonexistent“golden age,”Elshtain says,nor is it a wishful longing for a time that denied opportunities to women and minorities. Most people,in fact,favor the lessening of prejudice.Moral decline will not be reversed until people find ways to counter the materialism in society,she says.“Slowly,you recognize that the things that matter are those that cant’be bought.”36.Professor Elshtain is pleased to see that Americans________.A)have adapted to a new set of moral standardsB)are longing for the return of the good old daysC)have realized the importance of material thingsD)are awakening to the lowering of their moral standards37.The moral decline of American society is caused manly by________.A)its growing wealthB)the self-centeredness of individualsC)underestimating the impact of social changesD)the prejudice against women and minorities38.Which of the following characterizes the traditional communities?A)Great mobility.B)Concern for one’s neighbors.C)Emphasis on individual effort.D)Ever-weakening social bonds.39.In the1950s,classroom violence________.A)was something unheard ofB)was by no means a rare occurrenceC)attracted a lot of pubic attentionD)began to appear in analysts’data40.According to Elshtain,the current moral decline may be reversed________.A)if people can return to the“golden age”B)when women and mean enjoy equal rightsC)when people rid themselves of prejudiceD)if less emphasis is laid on material thingsPart III Vocabulary and

They see a day in the not-too-distant future when all autos will be abandoned and allowed to rust. Other authorities, however, think the auto is here to stay. They hold that the car will remain a leading means of urban travel in the foreseeable future.The motorcar will undoubtedly change significantly over the next 30 years. It should become smaller, safer, and more economical, and should not be powered by the gasoline engine. The car of the future should be far more pollution-free than present types.Regardless of its power source, the auto in the future will still be the main problem in urban traffic congestion (拥挤). One proposed solution to this problem is the automated highway system.When the auto enters the highway system, a retractable (可伸缩的) arm will drop from the auto and make contact with a rail, which is similar to those powering subway trains electrically. Once attached to the rail, the car will become electrically powered from the system, and control of the vehicle will pass to a central computer. The computer will then monitor all of the car’s movements.The driver will use a telephone to dial instructions about his destination into the system. The computer will calculate the best route, and reserve space for the car all the way to the correct exit from the highway. The driver will then be free to relax and wait for the buzzer (蜂鸣器) that will warn him of his coming exit. It is estimated that an automated highway will be able to handle 10,000 vehicles per hour, compared with the 1,500 to 2,000 vehicles that can be carded by a present-day highway.21. One significant improvement in the future car will probably be .A) its power source B) its driving systemC) its monitoring system D) its seating capacity22. What is the author’s main concern?A) How to render automobiles pollution-free.B) How to make smaller and safer automobiles.C) How to solve the problem of traffic jams.D) How to develop an automated subway system.23. What provides autos with electric power in an automated highway system?A) A rail. B) An engine.C) A retractable arm. D) A computer controller.24. In an automated highway system, all the driver needs to do is .A) keeping in the right laneB) waiting to arrive at his destinationC) keeping in constant touch with the computer centerD) informing the system of his destination by phone25. What is the author’s attitude toward the future of autos?A) Enthusiastic. B) PessimisticC) Optimistic. D) Cautious.Passage TwoQuestions 26 to 30 are based on the following passage.Foxes and farmers have never got on well. These small dog-like animals have long been accused of killing farm animals. They are officially classified as harmful and farmers try to keep their numbers down by shooting or poisoning them.Farmers can also call on the services of their local hunt to control the fox population. Hunting consists of pursuing a fox across the countryside, with a group of specially trained dogs, followed by men and women riding horses. When the dogs eventually catch the fox they kill it or a hunter shoots it.People who take part in hunting think of it as a sport; they wear a special uniform of red coats and white trousers, and follow strict codes of behavior. But owning a horse and hunting regularly is expensive, so most hunters are wealthy.It is estimated that up to 100,000 people watch or take part in fox hunting. But over the last couple of decades the number of people opposed to fox hunting, because they think it is brutal (残酷的), has risen sharply. Nowadays it is rare for a hunt to pass off without some kind of confrontation (冲突) between hunters and hunt saboteurs (阻拦者). Sometimes these incidents lead to violence, but mostly saboteurs interfere with the hunt by misleading r iders and disturbing the trail of the fox’s smell, which the dogs follow.Noisy confrontations between hunters and saboteurs have become so common that they are almost as much a part of hunting as the pursuit of foxes itself. But this year supporters of fox hunting face a much bigger threat to their sport. A Labor Party Member of the Parliament, Mike Foster, is trying to get Parliament to approve a new law which will make the hunting of wild animals with dogs illegal. If the law is passed, wild animals like foxes will be protected under the ban in Britain.26. Rich people in Britain have been hunting foxes .A) for recreation B) in the interests of the farmersC) to limit the fox population D) to show their wealth27. What is special about fox hunting in Britain?A) It involves the use of a deadly poison.B) It is a costly event, which rarely occurs.C) The hunters have set rules to follow.D) The hunters have to go through strict training.28. Fox hunting opponents often interfere in the game .A) by resorting to violence B) by confusing the fox huntersC) by taking legal action D) by demonstrating on the scene29. A new law may be passed by the British Parliament to .A) prohibit farmers from hunting foxesB) forbid hunting foxes with dogsC) stop hunting wild animals in the countrysideD) prevent large-scale fox hunting30. It can be inferred from the passage that .A) killing foxes with poison is illegalB) limiting the fox population is unnecessaryC) hunting foxes with dogs is considered cruel and violentD) fox-hunting often leads to confrontation between the poor and the richPassage ThreeQuestions 31 to 35 are based on the following passage.For an increasing number of students at American universities, Old is suddenly in. The reason is obvious: the graying of America means jobs. Coupled with the aging of the baby-boom(生育高峰) generation, a longer life span means that the nation’s elderly population is bound to expand significantly over the next 50 years. By 2050, 25 percent of all Americans will be older than 65, up from 14 percent in 1995. The change poses profound questions for government and society, of course. But it also creates career opportunities in medicine and health professions, and in law and business as well. “In addition to the doctors, we’re going to need more sociologists, biologists, urban planners and specialized lawyers,”says Professor Edward Schneider of the University of Southern California’s (USC) School of Gerontology(老年学).Lawyers can specialize in “elder law,” which covers everything from trusts and estates to nursing- home abuse and age discrimination (歧视). Businessmen see huge opportunities in the elder market because the baby boomers, 74 million strong, are likely to be the wealthiest group of retirees in human history. “Any student who combines an expert knowledge in gerontology with, say, an MBA or law degree will have a license to print money,” one professor says.Margarite Santos is a 21-year-old senior at USC. She began college as biology major but found she was “really bored with bacteria. “So she took a class in gerontology and discovered that she liked it. She says, “I did volunteer work in retirement homes and it was very satisfying.”31. “…Old is suddenly in” (Line 1, Para. 1) most probably means“”.A) America has suddenly become a nation of old peopleB) gerontology has suddenly become popularC) more elderly professors are found on American campusesD) American colleges have realized the need of enrolling older students32. With the aging of America, lawyers can benefit .A) from the adoption of the “elder law”B) from rendering special services to the elderlyC) by enriching their professional knowledgeD) by winning the trust of the elderly to promote their own interests33. Why can businessmen make money in the emerging elder market?A) Retirees are more generous in spending money.B) They can employ more gerontologists.C) The elderly possess an enormous purchasing power.D) There are more elderly people working than before.34.

And Jean Bethke Elshtain, for one, is glad.The fact that ordinary citizens are now starting to think seriously about the nation’s moral climate says this ethics (伦理学) professor at the University of Chicago, is reason to hope that new ideas will come forward to improve it.But the challenge is not to be underestimated. Materialism and individualism in American society are the biggest obstacles. “The thought that ‘I’m in it for me’ has become deeply rooted in the national consciousness,” Ms. Elshtain says.Some of this can be attributed to the disintegration of traditional communities, in which neighbors looked out for one another, she says. With today’s greater mobility and with so many couples working, those bonds have been weakened, replaced by a greater emphasis on self.In a 1996 poll of Americans, loss of morality topped the list of the biggest problems facing the U. S. And Elshtain says the public is correct to sense that: Data show that Americans are struggling with problems unheard of in the 1950s, such as classroom violence and a high rate of births to unmarried mothers.The desire for a higher moral standard is not a lament (挽歌) for some nonexistent “golden age”, Elshtain says, nor is it a wishful (一厢情愿的) longing for a time that denied opportunities to women and minorities. Most people, in fact, favor the lessening of prejudice.Moral decline will not be reversed until people find ways to counter the materialism in society, she says. “Slowly, you recognize that the things that matter are those that can’t be bought.”36.
