Most young people enjoy physical activities, walking, cycling, football, or mountaineering. These who have a passion 26 climbing high and difficult mountains are often 27 with astonishment. Why are men and women 28 to suffer cold and hardship, and to 29 on high mountains? This astonishment is caused, probably, by the difference between mountaineering and other forms of activities 30 which men give their leisure. There are no man-made rules, as there are for 31 as golf and football. There are, of course, rules of different kinds which it would be dangerous to 32 , but it is this freedom from man-made rules 33 makes mountaineering attractive to many people. Those who climb mountains are free to their own 34 . If we 35 mountaineering with other more familiar sports, we might think that one big difference is 36 mountaineering is not a “team work”. However, it is only our misunderstanding. There are, in fact, no :matches” 37 “teams” of climbers, but when climbers are on a rock face linked by a rope on which their lives may 38 , obviously, there is teamwork. A mountain climber knows that he may have to fight with natural 39 that ate stronger and more powerful than man. His sport requires high mental and 40 qualities. A mountain climber 41 to improve on skill year after year. A skier is probably past his best by the age of thirty, and most international tennis champions 42 in their early twenties. But it is not 43 for men of fifty or sixty to climb the highest mountains in the Alps. They may take more 44 than younger men, but they probably climb more skill and less 45 of effort, and they certainly experience equal enjoyment. 26. [A]for [B]in [C]to [D] of 27.

It wasn’t easy getting hired. But once you were there, I found, you were in. Globe jobs were for life-guaranteed until retirement. For 15 years I had prospered there — moving from an ordinary reporter to foreign correspondent and finally to senior editor. I would have a lifetime of security is I struck with it. Instead, I had made a decision to leave. I entered my boss’s office. Would he rage? I wondered. He had a famous temper. “Matt, we have to have a talk,” I began awkwardly. “I came to the Globe when I was twenty-four. Now I’m forty. There’s a lot I want to do in life. I’m resigning.” “To another paper?” he asked. I reached into my coat pocket, but didn’t say anything. I handed him a letter that explained everything. It said that I was leaving to start a new media company. We were at a rare turning point in history. I wanted to be directly engaged in the change. “I’m glad for you,” he said, quite out of my expectation. “I just came from a board of directors meeting and it was seventy-five percent discouraging news. Some of that we can deal with. But much of it we can’t, ” he went on. “I wish you all the luck in the world,” he concluded. “And if it doesn’t work out, remember, your star is always high here.” Then I went out of his office, walking through the newsroom for more good-byes. Everybody was saying congratulations. Everybody — even though I’d be risking all on an unfamiliar venture: all the financial security I had carefully built up. Later, I had a final talk with Bill Taylor, chairman and publisher of the Boston Globe. He had turned the Globe into a billion-dollar property. “I’m resigning, Bill, ”I said. He listened while I gave him the story. He wasn’t looking angry or dismayed either. After a pause, he said, “Golly, I wish I were in your shoes.” 46. From the passage we know that the Globe is a famous _______. [A] newspaper [B] magazine [C]temple [ D ] church 47. If the writer stayed with the Globe _________. [ A] he would be able to realize his lifetime dreams. [ B] he would let his long-cherished dreams fade away. [ C ] he would never have to worry about his future life. [ D] he would never be allowed to develop his ambitions. 48. The writer wanted to resign because _________. [A] he had serious trouble with his boss. [ B ] he got underpaid at his job for the Globe. [ C ] he wanted to be engaged in the new media industry.

[A]hardly [B]forever [C]ever [D]neverText 1Technology has been an encouragement of historical change. It acted as such a force in Eng-land beginning in the eighteenth century, and across the entire Western World inthe nineteenth.Rapid advances were made in the use ofscientific findings in the manufacture (制造) of goods,which has changed ideas about work. One of the first changes wasthat other forms of energy havetaken the place of human power. Along with this came the increased use of machines tomanufac-ture products in less time.People also developed machines that could produce thesame parts for a product： each nail wasexactly like every other nail, meaning that each nail could be changed for every other nail. Thismeans that goods could be mass produced, though mass production required breaking productiondown into smaller and smaller tasks.Once this was done, workers no longer started on the product and labored to complete it. In-stead, they might work only one thousandth of it, other workers completing their own parts in cer-tain order. There is nothing strange about this manufacturing work by today’s standards. Highlyskilledworkers were unable to compare with the new production techniques, as mass production al-lowed goods of high standard to be produced in greater number than could ever be done by hand.But the skilled worker wasn’t the only loser, the common workers lost too. Similar changes forcedfarmers away. The increased mechanization(机械化) of agriculture freed masses of workers fromploughing the land and harvesting its crops. They had little choice but to stream toward the rapidlydeveloping industrial centers. Increasingly, standards were set by machines. Workers no longerowned their own tools, their skill was no longer valued, and pride in their work was no longer pos-sible. Workers fed, looked after and repaired the machines that could work faster than humans atgreatly reduced cost.46. In this passage, which of the following is NOT considered as a change caused by the use of scientific findings in the production of goods?[A]Other forms of energy have taken the place of human power.[B]The increased exploitation of workers in the 19th century.[C]The increased use of machines to make products in less time.[D]The use of machines producing parts of the same standard.47. The underlined word "this" in the first paragraph refers to ______[A]the use of scientific findings[B]the practice of producing the same parts for a product[C]the human power being replaced by other forms of energy[D]the technology becoming the encouragement ofhistorical change48. The underlined word "this" in the second paragraph refers to the change that ______[A]each nail could be taken the place of by every other nail[B]each nail was exactly like every other nail[C]producing tasks became smaller and smaller[D]goods could be mass produced49. According to the writer, highly skilled workers______[A]completely disappeared with the coming of the factory system[B]were dismissed by the boss[C]were unable to produce goods of high standard[D]were unable to produce fine goods at that same speed as machines50. According to the passage, what did the farmers have to do with the coming of mechanization of agriculture?[A]Many of them had to leave their farmland forindustrial centers.[B]They stuck to their farm work.[C]They refused to use machines.[D]They did their best to leam how to use the machines.Text 2"We are not about to enter the Information Age, but instead are rather well into it." Presentpredictions are that by 1990, about thirty million jobs in the United States, or about thirty percentof the job market, will be computer-related. In 1980, only twenty-one percent of all American highschools owned one or two computers for student use. In the fall of 1985, a new study showed thathalf of United States secondary schools have fifteen or more computers for student use. And noweducational experts, administrators, and even the general public are demanding that all students be-come "computer-literate". By the year 2000 knowledge of computers will be necessary in overeighty percent of all occupations. Soon those people not educated in computer use will be comparedto those who are print-illiterate today.What is "computer literacy"? The term itself seems to imply some degree of "knowing" aboutcomputers, but knowing what? The present opinion seems to be that this should include a generalknowledge of what computers are, plus alittle of their history and something of how theyoperate.Therefore, it is important that educators everywhere take a careful look not only at what is being done, but also at what should be done in the field of computer education.Today most adults are able to use a motor car without the slightest knowledge of how the internal combustion engine(内燃机) works. We effectively use all types of electrical equipment without being able to tell their histo-ries to explain how they work.Business people for years have made good use of typewriters and adding machines, yet fewhave ever known how to repair them. Why, then, attempt to teach computers by teaching how orwhy they work?Rather, we first must fix our mind on teaching the effective use of the computer as the tool is."Knowing how to use a computer is what’s going to be important. We don’t talk about ‘au-tomobile literacy'. We just get in our cars and drive them."51. In 1990, the number of jobs having nothing to do with computers in the United States will be reduced to_______[A]79 million[B]100 million[C]30 million[D]70 million52. The underlined part "print-illiterate" in the text refers to_______[A]one who has never learnt printing[B]one who has never learnt to read[C]one who is not a computer literate[D]one who is not able to use a typewriter53. What is the first paragraph mainly about?[A]Recent predictions of computer-related jobs.[B]The wide of computers in schools.[C]The urgency of computers education.[D]Public interest in computers.54. According to the author, the effective way to spread the use of computers is to teach_______[A]how to use computers[B]what computers use[C]where computers can be used[D]how computers work55. From the text, we can infer that[A]computers will be easy to operate[B]automobile will be move comfortable[C]illiteracy rate will be down[D]computers will be set in.automobilesText 3Everything living on earth each plant and animal needs other living things. Nothing lives alone. Most animals must live in a group, and even a tree or a plant grows close together with othersof the same kind. Sometimes one living thing hunts another, one eats and the other is eaten. Eachkind of life eats another kind of life in order to live, and together they form a food chain. Somefood chains aresimple, others are complicated. But all have two things in common-all foodchains begin with the sun, and all food chains become broken up if one of the links disappears.All life depends on energy from sunlight. Only plants can use this energy directly. Their leaves are little factories that use sunlight to make food from water and things in the soil and air.Plants in turn feed all other living things. Animals can onl y use the sun’s energy after it has been changed into food by plants. Some animals feed directly on plants, others eat smaller animals.Meat-eating animals are only eating plants indirectly.What about human beings? We are members of many food chains. We eat wheat, rice, vege-tables, fruits and so on. We also eat meat and drink milk. This means the sun’s energy passesthrough plant to animal before it reaches us.Nature is a greater thing. Any food chain always produces enough for each of its members if itis left alone. When there isn’t enough food for any link in the chain, some of its members die off.So the balanee is always kept.But men in their greed and ignorance often break up the food chain and do great harm not onlyto one plant or animal, but to all the links in the chain. People make seas andrivers dirty. They de-stroy whole forests and kill many kinds of wild animals and birds. When a river becomes dirty,thefish cannot be eaten. Men eat the fish and get strange diseases. In some places men have no fish toeat any more,because the fish have died off. Each form of life is linked to all others. Breaking thelinks puts all life in danger.56. How does everything living on earth live?[A]Each plant can live alone.[B]Each animal can live alone.[C]Everything living on earth can not live without needing other living things.[D]If living things want to live they must kill each other.57. How is food for plants made? Food for plants is made______[A]from water[B]from the air in the sky[C]from the soil[D]from water, things in the soil and air, sunlight58. How do all food chains break? All food chains are broken if______[A]one kind of animal is eaten up[B]one kind of plant is destroyed[C]one kind of animal eats another[D]one of the links is destroyed59. Which living things can use energy directly?[A]Animals.[B]Plants.[C]Both animals and plants.[D]All living things,.60. Why is all life in danger? Becausebreak up the food chains.[A]human beings[B]animals[C]plants and animals[D]man and wild animals.Erum Nadeem：Your article on happiness lifted my spirits. There is one very interesting aspect to note： the eightsteps to happiness listed on pages 32-33 may as well be translations of the values of our cultur-al tradition. If people would see our values from these aspects, there wouldbe no misunderstand-ing-only happiness.Sander Tideman：I applaud your special on the science of happiness. However, the issue would have been more.complete had it mentioned the idea of viewing economic development policies in the context of"gross national happiness" or GNH. This concept is based on the recognition that gross nationalproduct does not accurately reflect thewell-being of a nation. GNH is a bold idea with far-reachingeffects. Since happiness has a scientific base, itcan be developed and promoted on a larger socialscale.Paul Aboh：Happiness is a gift, not a commodity. Even the poor have the ability to cultivate and sharehappiness. We can find pleasure in the small things we often take for granted-a smile, a helpinghand, a kiss, a wave, a pat on the back, a glass of water and a promise kept. And when you dis-cover its source, you know it. Sometimes happiness overflows, but it never destroys.Mansoor Malik：Happiness is not a product of achievement or wealth or fame. It is the reaction of our mind tothe environment. Faith in the values of our long-cherished cultural tradition is a source of well-being. Happiness comes from caring for others and giving whatever we can-help, hope, love, respect, sympathy or just a smile.Peter Fischer：At a time when there seem to be so many reasons for being unhappy, I appreciated your spe-cial report on happiness. Surely the poorest kids in Africa who are without parents and are oftenhungry are the ones with the most reasons to be unhappy. What can possibly make them smile? Asyour article pointed out, however, we cannot wait for enough friends or a lot of money to make ushappy. We have an amazing capacity to set ourselves right.Now match the name of each person (61 to 65)to the appropriate statement.Note： there are two extra statements.Statements61. Erum Nadeem62.Sander Tideman63. Paul Aboh64. Mansoor Malik65. Peter Fischer[A]A rich person is not necessarily happy.[B]Things people often overlook may be the very source of happiness.[C]Happiness can be promoted on a scientific basis.[D]We should mainly rely on ourselves for happiness.[E]Happiness lies in giving instead of taking.[F]The environment is a source of happiness.[G]Happiness can be achieved if we stick to the best of our values.66.

Your letter should include：1) thank him for entertaining you2) describe your feeling3) invite him to visit your hometownYou should write approximately 100 words.

Answer the questions on each text by choosing A, B, C or D. Markyour answers on ANSWER SHEETl.Text 1It was fifteen past nine as Marie hurried into the office building where she was going to work.Her bus had inched along through heavy morning traffic, making her a few minutes late for her very first job. She decided to start out half an hour earlier the next day.Once inside the lobby, she had to stand at the elevators and wait several minutes before she could get on one going to the sixth floor. When shefinally reached the office marked "Smith Enter- prises" , she knocked at the door nervously and waited. There was no reply. She tapped on the door again, but still there was no answer. From inside the next office, she could hear the sound of voices, so she opened the door and went in.Although she was sure it was the same office she had been in two weeks before when she had the interview with Mr. Smith, it looked quite different now. In fact, it hardly looked like an office at all. The employees were just standing around chatting and smoking. In the front of the room, somebody must have just told a good joke, she thought, because there was a loud burst of laughter as she came in. For a moment she had thought they were laughing at her.Then one of the men looked at his watch, clapped his hands and said something to the others.Quickly they all went to their desks and, ina matter of seconds, everyone was hard at work. No one paid any attention to Marie. Finally she went up to the man who was sitting at the desk nearest to the door and explained that this was her first day in the office. Hardly looking up from his work, he told her to have a seat and wait for Mr. Smith, who would arrive at any moment. Then Marie realized that the day's work in the office began just before Mr. Smith arrived. Later she found out that helived in Connecticut and came into Manhattan on the same train every morning, arriving in the office at 9:35,so that his staff knew exactly when to start working.46. Marie felt nervous when she knocked at the door because _ .[A] it was her first day in a new job[B] she was a little bit late for work[C] she was afraid that she had gone to the wrong place[D] there was no answer from inside the office47. Marie could hardly recognize the office she went into as .[A] she had been there only once[B] Mr. Smith was not in the office[C] nobody was doing any work[D] the office had a new appearance48. The people in the office suddenly started working because .[A] they saw a stranger in the office[B] their morning break was ended[C] no one wanted to talk to Marie[D] the boss was about to arrive49. We can infer from the text that the employees of the enterprise . .[A] would start their work by listening to a joke. [B] were cold to newcomers[C] were always punctual for work[D] lacked devotion to the company50. The best title for this text would be. .[A] Punctual Like a Clock[B] A Cold Welcome[C] An Unpunctual Manager[D] Better Late Than NeverText 2For most of us, dieting is a frustrating fact of life. With so much conflicting nutritional information about, it can be difficult to tell which weight-loss strategies really work. Let' s start by discounting these confusing myths.1. All calories are created equalWhat you eat, not how much, is the main factor behind weight gain, according to research.Calories from fat pack on the pounds. The reason: during digestion, the body burns many more caloriesmetabolizing protein and carbohydrates than it does metabolizing fat.2. Desserts are tabooCakes, pies and ice cream can sensibly be worked into a diet, the expert says. Moderation is the key. CVt down on other meals if you'll be eating out at a restaurant known for its rich sweets.Or indulge, but take only a few bites.3. Fast foods are forbiddenA plain hamburger on a bun is still a healthful choice. So is grilled chicken or a green salad with low-cal dressing. But watch out for French fries, milkshakes and batter-dipped chicken or fish.4. Fasting is the fastest dietSome studies suggest that drastically reducing calorie intake switches the body into a "starvationmode", which conserves calories and decreases your metabolic rate. The more frequently youdeprive yourself of food, the better your body may get at storing calories. So, in the long run, repeated fasting may actually undermine yourweight-loss efforts.5. To keep weight off, simply watch what you eat .According to experts, exercise combined with dieting ensures weight Joss better than dieting alone does. Experts also agree that sticking with regular, moderate exercise is more important that occasional vigorous workouts are. Obesity-researcher Kelly Brownell encourages patients to make a series of small physical efforts: taking the stairs instead of the elevator and parking the car far from where you are going and walking.Most important, before getting caught up in dietary myths, let good sense shape your eating habits. Your body will thank you for it.51. It cannot be inferred from the first paragraph that _ .[A] the information about dieting is always- contradictory[B] there are too many weight-loss strategies to choose from[C] dieting is always troublesome to most people[D] people should not believe the ideas of dieting52. One of the elements to gain weight is _ .[A] the amount of the food you eat[B] over sleeping[C] laziness[D] the kind of food you eat53. Which of the following saying is true about dieting?[A] You can't eat sweets.[B] Fast foods are not good.[C] You should not neglect any meals.[D] Fasting is always helpful54. The phrase "starvation mode" means .[A] being very hungry[B] eating what you like when you are hungry[C] weight-loss efforts[D] being ready to eat55. The word "shape" in the last sentence means .[A] break [B] form[C] get rid of [D] changeText 3Labor force is defined as being the total number of people who are available to work and earn income. This definition includes everyone who is employed or seeking paid employment,so it includes employees and the self-employed. Labor is one ofthe country's resources which can be combined with other resources to produce the goods and services required by the community. .Though the size of the workforce relies greatly on the size of the total population,there are several other aspects which also affect it. The age distribution of the total population has a very marked effect on the available workforce. If the population has a high proportion of very young people or of those too old to work,then the available workforce would be lower than if there were an evenly spread age distribution.If the population grows rapidly from natural increase,i. e. the number of births greatly exceeds the number of deaths,then as a total population increases, the proportion in the workforce declines.Sometimes a population is described asaging,which means that the birth rate is either falling or growing very slowly,and as people retire from the workforce, there are inadequate numbers of young people entering it to take place of those whoare leaving it. The population is top-heavy with older people. So the percentage of the populationin the workforce declines when there is either a rapid increase in births or a falling birth rate. ' The age distribution of the population has several important influences on the economy. If the population is aging and there is an increase in the number of people retiring without a corresponding increase in the number entering the workforce,this raises the problem of the ability of the economy to provide a reasonable level of social services to the retired group. If the aged are to be cared for in special homes or hotels,finance must beavailable for that purpose. If the size of the workforce is small relative to the total population,then the government tax receipts are relatively low and either the govemment has less money available to it or the workforce members have to be taxed more heavily.56. Labor force is composed of .[A] people who are available to work and earn income[B] self-employed people only[C] only those who are looking for an employment[D] only the employees57. The factor which does NOT influence the size of the worldorce is _ .[A] the size of population[B] age distribution of the population[C] national economy[D] natural increase58. The conclusion which can be drawn safely from the second paragraph is that _[A] a population growth from natural increase leads to a greater proportion of the work-force[B] a large population does not necessarily mean a higher proportion of workforce[C] the larger the number of the aged in a population,the higher the proportion of the workforce[D] if the population has an evenly spreaded age distribution,the workforce will be lower59. When a population is said to be aging,_ .[A] more people are retiring than people entering the workforce[B] the birth rate is growing '[C] there is an oversupply of workforce[D] young people outnumber old people60. The population which is top-heavy with older people poses a problem to _ .[A] the government [B] the economy[C] the workforce [D] all of the abovePart BDirections :Read the following discussion. among five people about workplace dress, for questions 61 t0 65,match the name of each person. (61 t0 65) to one of the statements (A to G ) given below. Mark you answers on. you.r ANSWER SHEETl.Marian :I have a friend who is a team leader of about25 employees who are primarily women. She' s founda trick that works for her most of the time, but -not always. Those staff who appear in much less than professional dressing are asked if their mother and father would think appropriate a picture of them dressed in what they believe is "OK" for work. If they say "yes", she then takes a picture and asks them to send it home. Having a camera helps. Having a visual proof drives her message home.Catherine :I think it really boils down to a moral question. Is it morally "right" to use our body to move ahead in business? Or should we instead emphasize intelligence, capabilities, creative and independent thought, professionalism, and other such qualities which many, many women possess, but whom are routinely neglected for promotions and are never glorified or emphasized in our culture. It' s okay to be a tough, competent lawyer like Ally Mcbeal, but you won't get noticed unless you look good in really short skirts. Having a nice body is a plus, but I think that there are tons and tons of styles of dress which can show off a nice body in a professional way.Roget:A lot of employees have finally gotten the message about inappropriate (不合适的) dress-down items such as jeans, shorts, revealing tops, etc. They are starting to wear the proper dress-down clothes. However, wearing the appropriate dress-down clothes doesn' t mean you're excused fromironing and it's certainly no license to wear dirty clothes. Wash and iron people! And guys, tuck your shirts in and put on a pair of socks!Briggs:I work in a large company that has adopted the business code. They have an outline of what is acceptable and what is not. On it you find the typical, no blue jeans, no mini-skirts, no barefeet or legs and that type of thing. I guess I agree with Jessica. Anyone with common sense knows how to dress appropriately for whatever environment he or she works in. I am a casual person by nature but I tend to wear the business dress in my office.I do see some people in my building wearing casually and they look strange there.BiH:You're forgetting the most important point-it's "their" business. They are the ones who have put financial resources on the line: who have a whole bunch to lose if the business goes bad: who areproviding employment for others. Therefore, they get to make the rules. If that includes a dress code, then that's their right. If you'd like a different dress code-start your own business.Now match each of the people (61 t0 65) to the appropriate statement.Note: there are two extra statements.Statements61.Marian [A] We shall not be moved.62. Catherine [B] Money means freedom.63. Roget [C] Photos taking are pleasant.64. Briggs [D] There are people who are so careless about dressing.65. Bill [E] Action speaks louder than words.[F] It is our society that must be blamed.[G] You should wear appropriately where you are.SectionIV Writing(40 minutes)Directions :You should write your responses to both Part A and Part B of this section on ANSWER SHEET 2.Part A66.

The 28 student is considered to be 29 who is motivated to learn for the sake of 30, not the one interested only in getting high grades. Sometimes homework is returned 31 brief written comments but without a grade. Even if a grade is not given, the student is 32 for learning the material assigned. When research is 33, the professor expects the student to take it actively and to complete it with 34 guidance. It is the 35 responsibility to find books, magazines, and articles in the library. Professors do not have the time to explain 36 a university library works; they expect students, 37 graduate students, to be able to exhaust the reference 38 in the library. Professors will help students who need it, but 39 that their students should not be 40 dependent on them. In the United States, professors have many other duties 41teaching, such as administrative or research work. 42, the time that a professor can spend with a student outside of class is 43.

Answer the questions on each text by choosing A, B, C or D. Mark your answer on the ANSWER SHEET by drawing a thick line across the corresponding letter in the brackets.Text 1The dog, called Prince, was an intelligent animal and a slave to Williams. From morning till night, when Williams was at home, Prince never left his sight, practically ignoring all other members of the family. The dog had a number of clearly defined duties, for which Williams had patiently trained him and, like the good pupil he was, Prince lived for the chance to demonstrate his abilities.When Williams wanted to put on his boots, he would murmur “ Boots” and within seconds the dog would drop them at his feet. At nine every morning, Prince ran off to the general store in the village, returning shortly not only with Williams' daily paper but with a half ounce packet o f Williams' favorite tobacco, John Rhiney's Mixed. A gun dog by breed, Prince possessed a large soft mouth specially evolved for the safe carrying of hunted creatures, so the paper and the tobacco came to no harm, never even showing a tooth mark.Williams was a railwayman, an engine driver, and he wore a blue uniform which smelled of oil and oil fuel. He had to work at odd times —“ days”, “ late days” or “ nights”. Over the years Prince got to know these periods of work andrest, knew when his master would leave the house and return, and the dog did not waste this knowledge. If Williams overslept, as he often did, Prince barked at the bedroom door until he woke, much to the annoyance of the family. On his return, Williams' slippers were brought to him, the paper and tobacco too if previously undelivered.A curious thing happened to Williams during the snow and ice of last winter. One evening he slipped and fell on the icy pavement somewhere between the village and his home. He was so badly shaken that he stayed in bed for three days; and not until he got up and dressed again did he discover that he had lost his wallet containing over fifty pounds. The house was turned upside down in the search, but the wallet was not found. However, two days later—that was five days after the fall—Prince dropped the wallet into William's hand. Very muddy, stained and wet through, the little case still contained fifty three pounds, Williams' driving license and a few other papers. Where the dog had found it no one could tell, but found it he had and recognized it probably by the faint oily smell on the worn leather.46.How did the dog perform his duties?［A］ He was delighted to show them off.［B］ He did his best but was not often successful.［C］ He did them quickly to get them over.［D］ He had few opportunities to do them.47.What does the passage tell us about gun dogs?［A］ They are the fastest runners of all dogs.［B］ Their teeth are removed when they are young.［C］ They can carry birds, etc. without hurting them.［D］ They breed well, producing many young dogs.48.As a result of Williams' work .［A］ he did not get enough sleep［B］ there was an oily smell from his clothes［C］ the dog grew accustomed to travelling by train ［D］ the dog was confused about the time of the day49.It upset Williams' wife and family when .［A］ Williams had to go to work at night［B］ the dog made too much noise in the house［C］ Williams made them all get up early［D］ the dog would not let them see the newspaper50.Williams did not realise his loss for several days because .［A］ he trusted the dog to find the wallet［B］ he was unconscious all that time［C］ he thought the wallet was in the house［D］ he had no occasion to feel in his pocketsText 2About ten men in every hundred suffer from colour blindness in some way; women are luckier only about one in two hundred is affected in this manner. There are different forms of colour blindness. A man may not be able to see deep red.He may think that red, orange and yellow are all shades of green. Sometimes a person cannot tell the difference between blue and green. In rare cases an unlucky man may see everything in shades of green—a strange world indeed.In certain occupations colour blindness can be dangerous and candidates are tested most carefully. For example, when fighting at night, soldiers use lights of flares to signal to each other. A green light may mean “Advance” and a red light may mean “ Danger! Keep back!” , You can see what will happen if somebody thinks that red is green! Colour blindness in human beings is a strange thing to explain. In asingle eye there are millions of very small things called “ cones” , These help to see in a bright light and to tell the difference between colours. There are also millions of “rods” but these are used for seeing when it is nearly dark. They show us shape but not colour. Wait until it is dark tonight, then go outside. Look round you and try to see what colors you can recognize.Birds and animals which hunt at night have eyes which contain few or no cones at all, so they cannot see colours. As far as we know, bats and adult owls cannot see colours at all only light and dark shapes. Similarly cats and dogs cannot see colours as well as we can.Insects can see ultra violet rays which are invisible to us, and some of them can even see X rays. The wings of a moth may seem grey and dull to us, but to insects they may appear beautiful, showing colours which we cannot see. Scientists know that there are other colours around us which insects can see but which we cannot see. Some insects have favorite colours. Mosquitoes like blue, but do not like yellow. A red light will not attract insects but a blue lamp will.51.Among people who suffer from colour blindness, .［A］ some may see everything in shades of green［B］ few can tell the difference between blue and green［C］ few may think that red, orange and yellow are all shades of green［D］ very few may think that everything in the world is in green52.When millions of rods in our eyes are at work in darkness we can see.［A］ colours only［B］ shapes and colours［C］ shapes only［D］ darkness only53.According to the passage, bats and adult owls cannot see colours.［A］ because they hunt at night［B］ because they cannot see light［C］ because they have no cones and rods［D］ because they have no cones54.According to the passage, dogs and cats.［A］ as well as human beings can not see some colours ［B］ have fewer cones than human beings［C］ have less rods than human beings［D］ can see colours as well as human beings55.Which of the following is not true about insects?［A］ Insects can see more colours than human beings.［B］ Insects can see ultra violet rays which are invisible to men.［C］ All insects have their favorite colours.［D］The world is more colorful to insects than to human beings.Text 3A child who has once been pleased with a tale likes, as rule, to have it retold in identically the same words, but this should not lead parents to treat printed fairy stories as sacred texts. It is always much better to tell a story than read it out of a book, and, if a parent can produce what, in the actual circumstances of the time and the individual child, is an improvement on the printed text, so much the better.A charge made against fairy tales is that they harm the child by frightening him or arousing his sadistic impulses. To prove the latter, one would have to show in a controlled experiment that children who have read fairy stories were more often guilty of cruelty than those who had not.Aggressive, destructive, sadistic impulses every child has and, on the whole, their symbolic verbal discharge seems to be rather a safety valve than an incitement to overt action. As to fears, there are, I think, well authenticated cases of children being dangerously terrified by some fairy stories. Often, however, this arises from the child having heard the story once. Familiarity with the story by repetition turns the pain of fear into the pleasure of a fear faced and mastered.There are also people who object to fairy stories on the grounds that they are not objectively true, that giants, witches, two headed dragons, magic carpets, etc., do not exist; and that, instead of indulging his fantasies in fairy tales, the child should be taught how to adapt to reality by studying history and mechanics. I find such people, I must confess, so unsympathetic and peculiar that I do not know how to argue with them. If their case were sound, the world should be full of madmen attempting to fly from New York to Philadelphia on a broomstick or covering a telephone with kisses in the belief that it was their enchanted girl friend.No fairy story ever claimed to be a description of the external world and no sane child had ever believed that it was.56.In the writer's opinion, a fairy tale .［ A］cannot be read to children without variation because they find no pleasure in it［B］ will be more effective if it is adapted by parents［C］ must be made easy so that children can read it on their own［ D］is no longer needed in developing children's power of memory57.According to the passage, some people who are openly against fairy tales argue that .［A］ fairy tales are harmful to children in that they show the primitive cruelty in children［B］ fairy tales are harmful to children unless they have been adapted by their parent［ C］fairy tales increase a tendency to sadism in children［ D］children who have read fairy stories pay little attention to the study of history and mechanics58.In the writer's opinion to rid children of fears, fairy stories should be.［A］ told only once［B］ repeated many times［C］ told in a realistic setting［D］ presented vividly59.In the writer's opinion, fairy stories .［A］ have a very bad effect on children［B］have advantages in cultivating children's imagniativity［C］ help children to come to terms with fears［D］ harm children greatly60.According to the passage, which of the following statement is not true about fairy stories?［A］If children indulged his fantasies in fairy tales instead of beingtaught how to adapt to reality by studying history and mechanics the world should be full of madman.［B］Children can often be greatly terrified when the fairy story is heard for the first time.［C］Fairy tales may beneficially direct children's aggressive, destructive and sadistic impulses.［D］Fairy tales are no more than stories about imaginary figures with magical powers which has nothing to do with external world.Part BDirections:Read the texts from an article in which five people talked about smoking. For questions 61 to 65, match the name of each person (1 to 5) to one of the statements (A to G) given below. Mark your answers on your ANSWER SHEET.HadleyIf you smoke and you still don't believe that there's a definite link between smoking and bronchial troubles, heart disease and lung cancer, then you are certainly deceiving yourself. Just have a look at those people in hospital with these diseases and count how many of them do not smoke, you may be surprised at the number. Even these few people might be passive smokers without realising it.RandyTobacco is a wonderful commodity to tax. It's almost like a tax on our daily bread. In tax revenue alone, the government of Britain collects enough from smokers to pay for its entire educational facilities. So while the authorities point out ever so carefully that smoking may be harmful, it doesn't do to shout too loudly about it.SampsonThe advertising of tobacco is one of the problems. Weare never shown pictures of real smokers coughing up their lings early in the morning. That would never do. The advertisements always depict handsome, clean shaven young men. They suggest it is manly to smoke, even positively healthy! Smoking is associated with the great openair life, with beautiful girls, true love and togetherness.What utter nonsense!RowleyOf course tobacco can help government to raise money. However, while money is eagerly collected in vast sums with one hand, it is paid out in increasingly vaster sums with the other. Enormous amounts are spent on cancer research and on efforts to cure people suffering from the disease. Countless valuable lives are lost. In the long run, there is no doubt that everybody would be much better off if smoking were banned altogether.BerniceSmoking can provide constant consolation. When I feel worried or nervous, I just get a cigarette and everything seem to get right. After a day's hard work, the thing I want to do most is smoking. It can be even better with a cup of coffee. It's so enjoyable and relaxing that it relieves stresses of everyday life. So why bother to ban it and take the pleasure from us.Now match each of the people (1 to 5) to the appropriate statement.Note: there are two extra statements.公共英语三级考试模拟题及答案（1）相关内容:“”“”At the end, Xiao Bian gives you a passage.
