President Bush certainly thinks so . Hehas argued that tapping ANWR’s oil would helpease California’s electricitycrisis and provide a major boost to the country’s energy independence . But noone knows for sure how much crude oil lies buried beneath the frozen earth .with the last government survey , conducted in 1998, projecting output anywherefrom 3 billion to 16 billion barrels .The oil industry goes with the high end of the range , which could equal as muchas 10% of U.S. consumption for as long as six years . By pumping more than 1million barrels a day from the reserve for the next two three decades, lobbyistsclaim, the nation could cut back on imports equivalent to all shipments to theU.S. from Saudi Arabia. Sounds good. An oil boom would also mean amultibillion-dollar windfall（意外之财）in tax revenues, royalties(开采权使用费)and leasing fees for Alaska and the Federal Government. Best of all , advocates of drillingsay , damage to the environment would be insignificant . “We’ve never had a document case of oil rig chasing deer out onto the pack ice .”says Alaska State Representative Scott Ogan .Not so far , say environmentalists . Sticking to the low end of governmentestimates , the National Resources Defense Council says there may be no morethan 3.2 billion barrels of economically recoverable oil in the coastal plain ofANWR, a drop in the bucket that would do virtually nothing to ease America’senergy problems . And consumers would wait up to a decade to gain any benefits ,because drilling could begin only after much bargaining over leases ,environmental permits and regulatory review . As for ANWR’s impact on theCalifornia power crisis , environmentalists point out that oil is responsiblefor only 1% of the Golden State’s electricityoutput –and just 3% of thenation’s .21. What does President Bush think of tapping oil in ANWR ?A) It will exhaust the nation’s oil reserves .B) It will help secure the future of ANWR.C) It will help reduce the nation’s oil importsD) It will increase America’s energy consumption22. We learn from the second paragraph that the American oil industry _______A) believes that drilling for oil in ANWR will produce high yieldsB) tends to exaggerate America’s reliance on foreign oilC) shows little interest in tapping oil in ANWRD) expects to stop oil imports from Saudi Arabia23. Those against oil drilling in ANWR argue that _________A) it can cause serious damage to the environmentB) it can do little to solve U.S. energy problemsC) it will drain the oil reserves in the Alaskan regionD) it will not have much commercial value24. What do the environmentalists mean by saying “Not so fast “(Line 1, Para.3)?A) Oil exploitation takes a long timeB) The oil drilling should be delayedC) Don’t be too optimisticD) Don’t expect fast returns25.It can be learned from the passage that oil exploitation beneath ANWR’sfrozen earth ________A) remains a controversial issueB) is expected to get under way soonC) involves a lot of technological problemsD) will enable the U.S. to be oil independentPassage Two“Tear ‘em apart!”“Kill the fool!”“Murderthe referee ( 裁判)！”These are common remarks one may hear at various sporting events . At the timethey are made , they may seem innocent enough . But let’s not kid ourselves .They have been known to influence behavior in such a way as to lead to realbloodshed . Volumes have been written about the way words affect us .It has beenshown that words having certain connotations (含义) may cause us to react in waysquite foreign to what we consider to be our usual humanistic behavior . I seethe term “opponent “as one of those words . Perhaps the time has come todelete it from sports terms .The dictionary meaning of the term “opponent “is “adversary “: “enemy “; “one who opposes your interests .”“Thus , when a player meets an opponent , he orshe may tend to treat that opponent as an enemy. At such times, winning maydominate one’s intellect, and every action, no matter how gross, may beconsidered justifiable. I recall an incident in a handball game when a refereerefused a player’s request for a time out for a glove change because he did notconsidered then wet enough. The player proceeded to rub his gloves across hiswet T-shirt and then exclaimed. “Are they wet enough now?”In the heat of battle, players have been observed to throw themselves across thecourt without considering the consequences that such a move might have on anyonein their way. I have also witnessed a player reacting to his opponent’sinternational and illegal blocking by deliberately hitting him with the ball ashard as he could during the course of play. Off the court, they are goodfriends. Does that make any sense? It certainly gives proof of a court attitudewhich departs from normal behavior. Therefore, I believe it is time we elevated(提升)the game to the level where itbelongs thereby setting an example to the rest of the sporting world . Replacingthe term “opponent “with “associate”could be an ideal way to start .The dictionary meaning of the term “associate “is “colleague”; “friend”; “companion.”Reflect a moment ! You may soon see and possibly feel thedifference in your reaction to the term “associate”rather than “opponent.”26. Which of the following statements best expresses the author’s view ?A) Aggressive behavior in sports can have serious consequencesB) The words people use can influence their behaviorC) Unpleasant words in sports are often used by foreign athletesD) Unfair judgments by referees will lead toviolence on the sports field27. Harsh words are spoken during games because the players _______A) are too eager to winB) are usually short-tempered and easily offendedC) cannot afford to be polite in fierce competitionD) treat their rivals as enemies28. What did the handball player do when he was not allowed a time out to changehis gloves ?A) He refused to continue the gameB) He angrily hit the referee with a ballC) He claimed that the referee was unfairD) He wet his gloves by rubbing them across his T-shirt29. According to the passage , players , in a game , may _______A) deliberately throw the ball at anyone illegallyblocking their wayB) keep on screaming and shouting throughout the gameC) lie down on the ground as an act of protestD) kick the ball across the court with force30. The author hopes to have the current situation in sports improved by _______A) calling on players to use clean language on the courtB) raising the referee’s sense of responsibilityC) changing the attitude of players on the sports fieldD) regulating the relationship between players and refereesPassage ThreeConsumers are being confused and misled by the hodge-podge (大杂烩) ofenvironmental claims made by household products, according to a “green labeling”study published by Consumers International Friday .Among the report’s more outrageous (令人无法容忍的) findings-a German fertilizer described itself as “earthworm friendly”a brand of flour said it was“non-polluting”and a British toilet paper claimed to be “environmentallyfriendlier”The study was written and researched by Britain’s National Consumer Council (NCC) for lobby group Consumer International . It was funded by the German andDutch governments and the European Commission .“While many good and useful claims are being made , it is clear there is a longway to go in ensuring shoppers are adequately informed about the environmentalimpact of products they buy,”said Consumers International director Anna Fielder.The 10-country study surveyed product packaging in Britain . Western Europe , Scandinavia and the United States . It foundthat products sold in Germany andthe United Kingdom made the most environmental claims on average .The report focused on claims made by specific products , such as detergent (洗涤剂)insect sprays and by some garden products . It did not test the claims , butcompared them to labeling guidelines set by the International StandardsOrganization (ISO) in September ,1999. Researchers documented claims of environmental friendliness made by about 2,000 products and found many too vague or too misleading to meet ISO standards.“Many products had specially-designed labels to make them seem environmentallyfriendly , but in fact many of these symbols mean nothing ,”said reportresearcher Philip Page .“Laundry detergents made the most number of claims with 158. Household cleanerswere second with 145 separate claims . whilepaints were third on our list with73 .The high numbers show how very confusing it must be for consumers to sortthe true from the misleading .”he said .The ISO labeling standards ban vague or misleading claims on product packaging , because terms such as “environmentally friendly”and “non-polluting”cannot be verified . “what we are now pushing for is to have multinational corporationsmeet the standards set by the ISO .”said Page.31. According to the passage , the NCC found it outrageous that ______A) all the products surveyed claim to meet ISO standardsB) the claims made by products are often unclear or deceivingC) consumers would believe many of the manufactures’claimD) few products actually prove to be environment friendly32. As indicated in this passage , with so manygood claims , the consumers_____A) are becoming more cautious about the products they are going to buyB) are still not willing to pay more for products with green labelingC) are becoming more aware of the effects different products have on theenvironmentD) still do not know the exact impact of different products on the environment33. A study was carried out by Britain’s NCC to _______A) find out how many claims made by products fail to meet environmentalstandardsB) inform the consumers of the environmental impact of the products they buyC) examine claims made by products against ISO standardsD) revise the guidelines set by the InternationalStandards Organization34. What is one of the consequences caused by the many claims of householdproducts ?A) They are likely to lead to serious environmental problemsB) Consumers find it difficult to tell the true from the falseC) They could arouse widespread anger among consumerD) Consumers will be tempted to buy products they don’t need35. It can be inferred from the passage that the lobby group ConsumerInternational wants to _______A) make product labeling satisfy ISO requirementsB) see all household products meet environmental standardsC) warn consumers of the danger of so-called green productsD) verify the efforts of non-polluting productsPassage FourTwo hours from the tall buildings of Manhattan and Philadelphia live some ofthe world’s largest black bears . They are in northern Pennsylvania’s PoconoMountains , a home they share with an abundance of other wildlife .The streams , lakes , meadows ( 草地) , mountain ridges and forests that makethe Poconos an ideal place for black bears have also attracted more people tothe region . Open spaces are threatened by plans for housing estates andimportant habitats (栖息地) are endangered by highway construction . To protect the Poconos’natural beauty from irresponsible development . The Nature Conservancy(大自然保护协会) named the area one of America’s “Last Great Places”Operating out of a century-old schoolhouse in the village of Long Pond,Pennsylvania, the conservancy’s bud Cook isworking with local people andbusiness leaders to balance economic growth with environmental protection. Byforging partnerships with people like Francis Altemose, the Conservancy has beenable to protect more than 14,000 acres of environmentally important land in thearea.Altemose’s family has farmed in the Pocono area for generations. Two yearsago Francis worked with the Conservancy to include his farm in a county farmland protection program. As a result, his family’s land can be protected fromdevelopment and the Altemoses will be better able to provide a secure financialfuture for their 7-year-old grandson .Cook attributes the Conservancy’s success in the Poconos to having a localpresence and a commitment to working with local residents“The key to protecting these remarkable landsis connecting with the localcommunity,”Cook said . “The people who live there respect the land . Theyvalue quite forests , clear streams and abundant wildlife . They are eager tohelp with conservation efforts .For more information on how you can help The Nature Conservancy protect thePoconos and the world’s other “Last Great Places,”please call 1-888-564 6864,or visit us on the World Wide Web at36.

Not everyone who picks up afishing rod or goes out with a gun is a sportsman. The sportsman first of allobeys the fish and game laws, not because he is liable to be punished as aviolator, but because he know that in the main these laws are made for his bestinterests.The following are some of the things that those who would qualify formembership in the sportsmanship fraternity (圈内人) will do.1.Take no more game than the bag limit provided for by the fish and game laws.The person who comes back from a tripboasting about the large number of fish or game taken is not a sportsman but a game hog (贪得无厌的捕猎者) .2.Observe the unwritten rules of fair play. This means shooting game birds onlywhen the birds are “on the wing”. For the same reason, do not use a shotgun toshoot a rabbit or similar animal while it is sitting or standing still.3.Be careful in removing illegal or undersized fish from the hook . This shouldbe done only after wetting the hands . This is necessary because the body of thefish is covered with a thin , protective film which will stick to your dry hands. If the hands are dry when the fish is handled , the film is torn from the bodyof the fish . Without the protective film , the fish is more easily attacked bydiseases. If you wish to release a fish that is hooked in such a way that itwill be impossible to closed to the hook asconvenient . In a remarkably shorttime , the hook will break down and the fish will remain almost unharmed . Fishhave been known to feed successfully while hooks were still in their lips .4.Be sure of the identity of your target before you shoot . Many useful andharmless species of wildlife are thoughtlessly killed by the uninformed personwho is out with a gun to kill whatever flies within range .S1 In what respect does the author think individual outdoor sports are similarto athletic contests? __________S2 A person who goes out fishing with a fishing rod or hunting with a gun isnot necessarily _________S3 What’s the most important thing a true sportsman should bear in mind whenhe goes fishing or hunting _______S4 Those who violate the fish and game laws will not be ______ for membershipin the sportsmanship fraternityS5 What are people called when they break the bag limit and boast about theirbig catch ?_________S6 A true sportsman will not shoot an animal which is not ______S7 What are people advised to do before they remove illegal or undersized fishfrom the hook?_______S8 What should sportsman do to avoid killing rare species of wildlife?________Part V Writing (30 minutes)For this part, you are allowed 30 minutes to write a short essay [IN honour ofteachers on the occasion of Teacher's Day].

But it’s probably safe to say that at least a few historians will one day speak of the 20th century as America’s “ Disney era ” . Today, it’s certainly difficult to think of any other single thing that represents modern America as powerfully as the company that created Mickey Mouse. Globally, brands like Coca-Cola and McDonalds may be more widely-known, but neither encapsulates 20th-century America in quite the same way as Disney.The reasons for Disney’s success are varied and numerous, but ultimately the credit belongsto one person —the man who created the cartoon and built the company from nothing, Walt Disney. Ironically, he could not draw particularly well. But he was a genius in plenty of other respects. In business, his greatest skills were his insight and his management ability. After setting himself up in Hollywood, he single-handedly pioneered the concepts of branding and merchandising — something his company still does brilliantly today.But what really distinguished Disney was his ability to identify with his audiences. Disney always made sure his films championed the “ little guy ” , and made him feel proud to be American. This he achieved by creating characters that reflected the hopes and fears of ordinary people. Some celebrated American achievements —Disney’s very first cartoon Plane Crazy, featuring a silent Mickey Mouse, was inspired by Charles Lindbergh’s flight across the Atlantic. Others, like the There Little Pigs and Snow White and the Seven Dwarves, showed how, through hard work and helping one’s fellow man, or Americans could survive social and economic crises like the Great Depression.Disney’s other great virtue was the fact that his company — unlike other big corporations —had a human face. His Hollywood studio — the public heard — operated just like a democracy, where everyone was on firstname terms and had a say in how things should be run. He was also regarded as a great patriot because not only did his cartoons celebrate America, but, during World War II, studios made training films for American soldiers.The reality, of course, was less idyllic. As the public would later learn, Disney’s patriotism had an unpleasant side. After a strike by cartoonists in 1941, he became convinced that Hollywood had been infiltrated by Communists. He agreed to work for the FBI as a mole, identifying and spying on colleagues whom he suspected were subversives.But, apart from his affiliations with the FBI, Disney was more or less the genuine article. A new book, The Magic Kingdom; Walt Disney and the American Way of Life, by Steven Watts, confirms that he was very definitely on the side of ordinary Americans — in the 30s and 40s he voted for Franklin Roosevelt, believing he was a champion of the workers. Also, Disney was not an apologist for the FBI, as some have suggested. In fact, he was always suspicious of large, bureaucratic organizations, as is evidenced in films like That Darned Cat, in which he portrayed FBI agents as bungling incompetents.By the time he died in 1966, Walt Disney was an icon like Thomas Edison and the Wright as “ Uncle Walt ”— the man who had entertained them all their lives, the man who represented them all their lives, the man who represented all that was good about America.86. Walt Disney is believed to possess the following abilities EXCEPTA. painting.B. creativiteC. management.D. merchandising.87. According to the passage, what was the pleasant side of Disney’s patriotism?A. He sided with ordinary Americans in his films.B. He supported America’s war efforts in his own way.C. He had doubts about large, bureaucratic organizations.D. He voted for Franklin Roosevelt in the 30s and 40s.88. In the sixth paragraph the sentence “Disney was more or less the genuine article” means thatA. Disney was a creative and capable person.B. Disney once agreed to work for the FBI.C. Disney ran his company in a democratic way.D. Disney was sympathetic with ordinary people.89. The writer’s attitude toward Walt Disney can best be described asA. sympathetic.B. objective.C. critical.D. skeptical.SECTION A COMPOSITION[35 MIN]The students’ Union of your university is planning to hold an arts festival next semester, and they are inviting students to contribute their ideas and suggestions as to how it should be organized or what should be included.Write on ANSWER SHEET TWO a composition of about 200 words on the following topic:MY IDEA OF A UNIVERSITY ARTS FESTIV ALYou are to write in three parts.In the first part, state specifically what your idea is.In the second part, provide one or two reasons to support your idea OR describe your idea.

But it’s probably safe to say that at least a few historians will one day speak of the 20th century as America’s ― Disney era ‖. Today, it’s certainly difficult to think of any other singlething that represents modern America as powerfully as the company that created Mickey Mouse. Globally, brands like Coca-Cola and McDonalds may be more widely-known, but neither encapsulates 20th-century America in quite the same way as Disney.The reasons f or Disney’s success are varied and numerous, but ultimately the credit belongs toone person —the man who created the cartoon and built the company from nothing, Walt Disney. Ironically, he could not draw particularly well. But he was a genius in plenty of other respects. In business, his greatest skills were his insight and his management ability. After setting himself up in Hollywood, he single-handedly pioneered the concepts of branding and merchandising — something his company still does brilliantly today.But what really distinguished Disney was his ability to identify with hisaudiences. Disney always made sure his films championed the ― little guy ‖, and made him feel proud to be American. This he achieved by creating characters that reflected the hopes and fears of ordinary people. Some celebrated American achievements —Disney’s very first cartoon Plane Crazy, featuring a silent Mickey Mouse, was inspired by Charles Lindbergh’s flight across the Atlantic. Others, like the There Little Pigs and Snow White and the Seven Dwarves, showed how, through hard work and help ing one’s fellow man, or Americans could survive social and economic crises like the Great Depression.Disney’s other great virtue was the fact that his company — unlike other big corporations —had a human face. His Hollywood studio — the public heard —operated just like a democracy, where everyone was on firstname terms and had asay in how things should be run. He was also regarded as a great patriot because not only did his cartoons celebrate America, but, during World War II, studios made training films for American soldiers.The reality, of course, was less idyllic. As the public would later learn,Disney’s patriotism had an unpleasant side. After a strike by cartoonists in1941, he became convinced that Hollywood had been infiltrated by Communists. He agreed to work for the FBI as a mole, identifying and spying on colleagues whom he suspected were subversives.But, apart from his affiliations with the FBI, Disney was more or less thegenuine artic le. A new book, The Magic Kingdom; Walt Disney and the American Way of Life, by Steven Watts, confirms that he was very definitely on the side of ordinary Americans — in the 30s and 40s he voted for Franklin Roosevelt,believing he was a champion of the workers. Also, Disney was not an apologist for the FBI, as some have suggested. In fact, he was always suspicious of large, bureaucratic organizations, as is evidenced in films like That Darned Cat, in which he portrayed FBI agents as bungling incompetents.By the time he died in 1966, Walt Disney was an icon like Thomas Edison and the Wright Brothers. To business people and filmmakers, he was a role model; to the public at large, he was ― Uncle Walt ‖—the man who had entertained them all their lives, the man who represented them all their lives, the man whorepresented all that was good about America.86. Walt Disney is believed to possess the following abilities EXCEPTA. painting.B. creativityC. management.D. merchandising.87. According to the passage, what was the pleasant side of Disney’s patriotism?A. He sided with ordinary Americans in his films.B. He supported America’s war efforts in his own way.C. He had doubts about large, bureaucratic organizations.D. He voted for Franklin Roosevelt in the 30s and 40s.88. In the sixth paragraph the sentence ―Disney was more or less the genuine article‖means thatA. Disney was a creative and capable person.B. Disney once agreed to work for the FBI.C. Disney ran his company in a democratic way.D. Disney was sympathetic with ordinary people.89.

Section one conversation11. W: Simon, oh, well, could you return the tools I lend you for building the bookshelf lastmonth?M: Oh, I hate to tell you this, but I can’t seem to find them.Q: What do we learn from the conversation?12. W: I am going to M artha’s house. I have a paper to complete. And I need to use her computer. M: Why don’t you buy one yourself? Think how much time you could save.Q: What does the man suggest the woman do?13. W: Daddy, I have decided to give up science and go to business school.M: Well, it is your choice as long as you pay your own way, but I should warn you that not everyone with a business degree will make a successful manager.Q: What do we learn from the conversation?14. W: I just read in the newspaper that Lord of the Rings is this year’s greatest hit. Why don’t wego and see it at the Grand Cinema?M: Don’t you think that cinema is a little out of the way?Q: What does the man mean?15. W: Bob said that Seattle is a great place for conferences.M: He is certainly in the position to make that comment. HE has been there so often.Q: What does the man say about?16. W: Mr. Watson, I wonder whether it’s possible for me to take a vacation early next month? M: Did you fill out a request form?Q: What is the probable relationship between the two speakers?17. M: Do you want to go to the lecture this weekend? I heard that the guy who is going to deliverthe lecture spent a year living in the rainforest.W: Great, I am doing a report on the rain forest. Maybe I can get some new information to add to it.Q: What does the woman mean?18. M: This article is nothing but advertising for housing developers. I don’t think the houses forsale are half that good.W: Come on, David. Why so negative? We are thinking of buying a hom e, aren’t we? Just a trip to look at the place won’t c ost us much.Q: What can be inferred form the conversation?Conversation OneM. OK. Now we’d better make sure you enjoy your studies. We offer a wide range of options on the foundation course, but you can only take five courses. What have you selected?W: Physical sciences, basic electronics, art and design CAD…M: Oh, right. CAD and… English. That’s quite strange. Don’t you want to do maths, or computer programming, for example? Why did you choose art and design?W: Well, I’m interested in electronics and in writing computer games.I’d like to produce educational software and educational games. I’ve taught myself a lot of programming. So I don’t think I’d benefit much from a foundation level course.M: Oh, no I see that. Go on, please.W: So, I want the basics---the physical science and electronics. I was hopeless at physics in school and we didn’t have electronics. But I was good at maths. I don’t think I need that.M: Then what about the art and design?W: That will be good for my graphics---I need that to produce games---CAD too---I’ve never done CAD before.M: Right. They’ve got some powerful packages in the computer graphics and CAD offices. You’ll enjoy that. Then English. I know your English is very good, but why did you take it?W: In fact I don’t have any problem in speaking, but my writing is terrible.M: Then I suggest you join the study skills class. They’ll have lectures on report writing and that may help you with how to structure your essays and so on.W: Right. That sounds good.Q 19. What are the two speakers talking about?Q20. What is the woman’s favorite course?Q21. Why did the woman take an English course?Conversation TwoW: Good morning, Mr. Johnson. I’m Diana Huston.M: Good morning. What can I do for you?W: I’m a college student. I’m taking a business course which needs three weeks work experience.My lecturer, Mr. Armstrong, suggested I contact you as you’ve allowed students before to practice in your company. I’ve brought a letter of reference from Mr. Armstrong for you.M: Thanks. Yes, our company has a good relationship with the university. We’ve had many students here over the past years. We usually take students who are in the second half of their courses. What about you?W: I’m almost at the halfway mark. I’ve got some exams in two weeks. Then I’ll be ready to start before the beginning of the second semester. But I thought I’d get this organized before the exams start.M: That’s a very responsible way of thinking. It’s a good idea to get in early. I’m sure there will be many students soon.W: I could start in three weeks if you like.M: Do you understand what’s involved in the practice?W: I think so. Mr. Armstrong explained the procedures to us. I have to work regular hours, and write a comprehensive report on what I’ve learnt as an assignment for Mr. Armstrong and the personnel department of the company as well. And you will send a report about my work to Mr.Armstrong and that will also be part of my assessment.M: That’s right. But I’ll have to discuss this application with the personnel department. And I will let you know as soon as possible if you’ve been accepted.W: Yes, please. If I’m not accepted, I’ll have to apply somewhere else.Q22. What’s the woman’s main purpose of the visit?Q23. Which kind of students will the company usually accept?Q24. What would the man do for the women’s practice if she were accepted?Q25. When will the woman’s practice begin?Passage 1In the next few decades, people are going to travel very differently from the way they do today. Everyone is going to drive electrically-powered cars, so in the few years, people won’t worry about running out of gas.

After the press conference, the company will present its new electronically-operated models. Transportation in the future won’t be limited to the ground, many people predict that traffic will quickly move to the sky. In the coming years, instead of radio reports about road conditions and highway traffic, news reports will talk about traffic jams in the sky. But the sky isn’t the limit.

That tradition is said to have started when an Austrian man gave a diamond ring to the woman he wanted to marry. The diamond represented beauty. He placed it on the third finger of her left hand.

The wife often wears both the wedding ring and the engagement ring on the same finger. The husband wears his ring on the third finger on his left hand. Many people say the purpose of the engagement period is to permit enough time to plan the wedding. But the main purpose is to let enough time pass so the two people are sure that they want to marry each other. Either person may decide to break the engagement, if this happens, the woman usually returns the ring to the man. They also return any wedding gifts they have received.33.

But it's probably safe to say that atleast a few historians will one day speak of the 20th century as Amer ica's “Disney era ” . Today, it's certainly difficult to think of any other singlething that represents modern America as powerfully as the company that createdMickey Mouse. Globally, brands like Coca-Cola and McDonalds may be morewidely-known, but neither encapsulates 20th-century America in quite the sameway as Disney.The reasons for Disney's success are varied and numerous, but ultimately thecredit belongs to one person —the man who created the cartoon and built thecompany from nothing, Walt Disney. Ironically, he could not draw particularlywell. But he was a genius in plenty of other respects. In business, his greatestskills were his insight and his management ability. After setting himself up in Hollywood, he single-handedly pioneered the concepts of branding andmerchandising —something his company still does brilliantly today.But what really distinguished Disney was his ability to identify with hisaudiences. Disney always made sure his films championed the “ little guy ” , andmade him feel proud to be American. This he achieved by creating characters thatreflected the hopes and fears of ordinary people.Some celebrated Americanachievements —Disney's very first cartoon Plane Crazy, featuring a silentMickey Mouse, was inspired by Charles Lindbergh's flight across the Atlantic. Others, like the There Little Pigs and Snow White and the Seven Dwarves, showedhow, through hard work and helping one's fellow man, or Americans could survivesocial and economic crises like the Great Depression.Disney's other great virtue was the fact that his company — unlike other bigcorporations —had a human face. His Hollywood studio — the public heard —operated just like a democracy, where everyone was on firstname terms and had asay in how things should be run. He was also regarded as a great patriot becausenot only did his cartoons celebrate America, but, during World War II, studiosmade training films for American soldiers.The reality, of course, was less idyllic. As the public would later learn,Disney's patriotism had an unpleasant side. After a strike by cartoonists in1941, he became convinced that Hollywood had been infiltrated by Communists. Heagreed to work for the FBI as a mole, identifying and spying on colleagues whomhe suspected were subversives.But, apart from his affiliations with the FBI, Disney was more or less thegenuine article. A new book, The Magic Kingdom; Walt Disney and the American Way of Life, by Steven Watts, confirms that he was very definitely on the side ofordinary Americans —in the 30s and 40s he voted for Franklin Roosevelt,believing he was a champion of the workers. Also, Disney was not an apologistfor the FBI, as some have suggested. In fact, he was always suspicious of large,bureaucratic organizations, as is evidenced in films like That Darned Cat, inwhich he portrayed FBI agents as bungling incompetents.By the time he died in 1966, Walt Disney was an icon like Thomas Edison andthe Wright Brothers. To business people and filmmakers, he was a role model; tothe public at large, he was “ Uncle Walt ”— the man who had entertained them alltheir lives, the man who represented them all their lives, the man whorepresented all that was good about America.86. Walt Disney is believed to possess the following abilities EXCEPTA. painting.B. creativityC. management.D. merchandising.87. According to the passage, what was the pleasant side of Disney’s patriotism?A. He sided with ordinary Americans in his films.B. He supported America’s war efforts in his own way.C. He had doubts about large, bureaucratic organizations.D. He voted for Franklin Roosevelt in the 30s and 40s.88. In the sixth paragraph the sentence “Disney was more or less the genuinearticle” means thatA. Disney was a creative and capable person.B. Disney once agreed to work for the FBI.C. Disney ran his company in a democratic way.D. Disney was sympathetic with ordinary people.89. The writer’s attitude toward Walt Disney can best be described asA. sympathetic.B. objective.C. critical.D. skeptical.TEXT CTEXT D参考答案：The Wrist WatchIt is generally believed that wrist watches are an exception / to the normal sequence in the evolution of man's jewelry. / Reversing the usual order, they were first worn by women, / and then adopted by men. / In the old days, queens included wrist watches among their crownjewelry. / Later, they were worn by Swiss workers and farmers. / Until World War I, Americans associated the watch with fortune hunters. / Then army officers discovered that the wrist watch was most practical for active combat. / Race car drivers also loved to wear wrist watches, / and pilots found them most useful while flying. / Soon men dared to wear wrist watches without feeling self-conscious. / By 1924, some 30 percent of man's watches were worn on the wrist. / Today, the figure is 90 percent. / And they are now worn by both men and women / for practical purposes rather than for decoration.1-10 CABAD BACBA11-20 CBDBD BDBAB21-30 DBBCA CBDCA31-40 AABAA CCABC41-50 BDBAD DDBCD51-60 AABBD ACBBC61-70 ADCCD BDBBC71-80 DABAC ACDDB 81-90 CADBC ABDAB。

Choose the one that you think is the best answer.Mark your answers on your answer sheet.TEXT ATEXT BPredicting the future is always risky. But it’s probably safe to say that at least a few historians will one day speak of the 20th century as America’s “ Disney era ” . Today, it’s certainly difficult to think of any other single thing that represents modern America as powerfully as the company that created Mickey Mouse. Globally, brands like Coca-Cola and McDonalds may be more widely-known, but neither encapsulates 20th-century America in quite the same way as Disney.The reasons for Disney’s success are varied and numerous, but ultimately the credit belongs to one person — the man who created the cartoon and built the company from nothing, Walt Disney. Ironically, he could not draw particularly well. But he was a genius in plenty of other respects. In business, his greatest skills were his insight and his management ability. After setting himself up in Hollywood, he single-handedly pioneered the concepts of branding and merchandising —something his company still does brilliantly today.But what really distinguished Disney was his ability to identify with his audiences. Disney always made sure his films championed the “ little guy ” , and made him feel proud to be American. This he achieved by creating characters that reflected the hopes and fears of ordinary people. Some celebrated American achievements —Disney’s very first cartoon Plane Crazy, featuring a silent Mickey Mouse, was inspired by Charles Lindbergh’s flight across the Atlantic. Others, like the There Little Pigs and Snow White and the Seven Dwarves, showed how, through hard work and helping one’s fellow man, or Americans could survive social and economic crises like the Great Depression.Disney’s other great virtue was the fact that his company — unlike other big corporations — had a human face. His Hollywood studio — the public heard — operated just like a democracy, where everyone was on firstname terms and had a say in how things should be run. He was also regarded as a great patriot because not only did his cartoonscelebrate America, but, during World War II, studios made training films for American soldiers.The reality, of course, was less idyllic. As the public would later learn, Disney’s patriotism had an unpleasant side. After a strike by cartoonists in 1941, he became convinced that Hollywood had been infiltrated by Communists. He agreed to work for the FBI as a mole, identifying and spying on colleagues whom he suspected were subversives.But, apart from his affiliations with the FBI, Disney was more or less the genuine article. A new book, The Magic Kingdom; Walt Disney and the American Way of Life, by Steven Watts, confirms that he was very definitely on the side of ordinary Americans — in the 30s and 40s he voted for Franklin Roosevelt, believing he was a champion of the workers. Also, Disney was not an apologist for the FBI, as some have suggested. In fact, he was always suspicious of large, bureaucratic organizations, as is evidenced in films like That Darned Cat, in which he portrayed FBI agents as bungling incompetents.By the time he died in 1966, Walt Disney was an icon like Thomas Edison and the Wright Brothers. To business people and filmmakers, he was a role model; to the public at large, he was “ Uncle Walt ”— the man who had entertained them all their lives, the man who represented them all their lives, the man who represented all that was good about America.86. Walt Disney is believed to possess the following abilities EXCEPTA. painting.B. creativityC. management.D. merchandising.87. According to the passage, what was the pleasant side of Disney’s patriotism?A. He sided with ordinary Americans in his films.B. He supported America’s war efforts in his own way.C. He had doubts about large, bureaucratic organizations.D. He voted for Franklin Roosevelt in the 30s and 40s.88. In the sixth paragraph the sentence “Disney was more or less the genuine article” means thatA. Disney was a creative and capable person.B. Disney once agreed to work for the FBI.C. Disney ran his company in a democratic way.D. Disney was sympathetic with ordinary people.89. The writer’s attitude toward Walt Disney can best be described asA. sympathetic.B. objective.C. critical.D. skeptical.TEXT CTEXT DPART VI WRITING [45 MIN. ]SECTION A COMPOSITION [35 MIN]The students’ Union of your university is planning to hold an arts festival next semester, and they are inviting students to contribute their ideas and suggestions as to how it should be organized or what should be included.Write on ANSWER SHEET TWO a composition of about 200 words on the following topic:MY IDEA OF A UNIVERSITY ARTS FESTIVALYou are to write in three parts.In the first part, state specifically what your idea is.In the second part, provide one or two reasons to support your idea OR describe your idea.

2005年专四答案解析PART I DICTATIONThe Wrist WatchIt is generally believed that wrist watches are an exception to the normal sequence in the evolution of man’s jewelry. Reversing the usual order, they were first worn by women, and then adopted by men. In the old days, queens included wrist watches among their crown jewelry. Later, they were worn by Swiss workers and farmers. Until World War I, Americans associated the watch with fortune hunters. Then army officers discovered that the wrist watch was most practical for active combat. Race car drivers also loved to wear wrist watches, and pilots found them most useful while flying. Soon men dared to wear wrist watches without feeling self-conscious. By 1924, some 30 percent of man’s watches were worn on the wrist. Today, the figure is 90 percent. And they are now worn by both men and women for practical purposes rather than for decoration.PART II LISTENING COMPREHENSIONSECTION A CONVERSATIONS1.正确答案为D）。

My marks in school were miserable and, the thing was, I didn't know enough to really care. My older brother and I lived with Mom in a dingy multi-family house in Detroit. We watched TV every night The background noise of our lives was gunfire and horses' hoofs from "Wagon Train" or " Cheyenne" , and laughter from " I Love Lucy" or " Mister Ed". After supper, we'd sprawl on Mom's bed and stare for hours at the tube.But one day Mom changed our world forever. She turned off the TV. Our mother had only been able to get through third grade. But she was much brighter and smarter than we boys knew at the time. She had noticed something in the suburban houses she, cleaned—books. So she came home one day , snapped off the TV , sat us down and explained that her sons were going to make something of themselves. " You boys are going to read two books every week , " she said. "And you're going to write me a report on what you read. "We moaned and complained about how unfair it was. Besides, .we didn't have any books in the house other than Mom's Bible. But she explained that we would go where the books were : "I'd drive you to the library. "So pretty soon, there were these two peevish boys sitting in her white 1959 Oldsmobile on their way to Detroit Public Library. I wandered reluctantly among the children's books. I loved animals, so when I saw some books that seemed to be about animals, I started leafing through them.The first book I read clear through was Chip the Dam Builder. It was about beavers. For the first time in my life I was lost in another world. No television program had ever taken me so far away from my surroundings as did this verbal visit to a cold stream in a forest and these animals building a home.It didn't dawn on me at the time , but the experience was quite different from watching TV. There were images forming in my mind instead of before my eyes. And I could return to them again and– 108 –again with the flip of a page.Soon I began to look forward to visiting this hushed sanctuary from my other world. I moved from animals to plants , and then to rocks. Between the covers of all those books were whole worlds, and I was free to go anywhere in them. Along the way a funny thing happened I started to know things. Teachers started to notice it too. I got to the point where I couldn't wait to get home to my books.Now my older brother is an engineer and I am chief of pediatric neurosurgery at John Hopkins Children's Center in Baltimore. Sometimes I still can't believe my life's journey, from a failing and indifferent student in a Detroit public school to this position, which takes me all over the world to teach and perform critical surgery.But I know when the journey began: the day Mom snapped off the TV set and put us in her Oldsmobile for that drive to the library.81.

But it's probably safe to say that at least a few historians will one day speak of the 20th century as America's "Disney era". Today, it's certainly difficult to think of any other single thing that represents modern America as powerfully as the company that createdMickey Mouse. Globally, brands like Coca-Cola and McDonalds may be more widely-known, but neither encapsulates 20th-century America in quite the same way as Disney.The reasons for Disney's success are varied and numerous, but ultimately the credit belongs to one person – the man who created the cartoon and built the company from nothing, Walt Disney. Ironically, he could not draw particularly well. But he was a genius in plenty of other respects. In business, his greatest skills were his insight and his management ability. After setting himself up inHollywood, he single-handedly pioneered the concepts of branding and merchandising –something his company still does brilliantly today.But what really distinguished Disney was his ability to identify with his audiences. Disney always made sure his films championed the "little guy", and made him feel proud to be American. This he achieved by creating characters that reflected the hopes and fears of ordinary people. Some celebrated American achievements – Disney's very first cartoon Plane Crazy, featuring a silentMickey Mouse, was inspired by Charles Lindbergh's flight across the Atlantic.Others, like the There Little Pigs and Snow White and the Seven Dwarves, showed how, through hard work and helping one's fellow man, or Americans could survive social and economic crises like the Great Depression.Disney's other great virtue was the fact that his company – unlike other big corporations – had a human face. His Hollywood studio – the public heard – operated just like a democracy, where everyone was on first name terms and had a say in how things should be run. He was also regarded as a great patriot because not only did his cartoons celebrate America, but, during World War II, studios made training films for American soldiers.The reality, of course, was less idyllic. As the public would later learn,Disney's patriotism had an unpleasant side. After a strike by cartoonists in1941, he became convinced that Hollywood had been infiltrated by Communists. He agreed to work for the FBI as a mole, identifying and spying on colleagues whom he suspected were subversives.But, apart from his affiliations with the FBI, Disney was more or less the genuine article. A new book, The Magic Kingdom; Walt Disney and the American Way of Life, by Steven Watts, confirms that he was very definitely on the side of ordinary Americans – in the 30s and 40s he voted for Franklin Roosevelt, believing he was a champion of the workers. Also, Disney was not an apologist for the FBI, as some have suggested. In fact, he was always suspicious of large, bureaucratic organizations, as is evidenced in films like That Darned Cat, in which he portrayed FBI agents as bungling incompetents.By the time he died in 1966, Walt Disney was an icon like Thomas Edison and the Wright Brothers. To business people and filmmakers, he was a role model; to the public at large, he was "Uncle Walt" – the man who had entertained them all their lives, the man who represented them all their lives, the man who represented all that was good about America.86. Walt Disney is believed to possess the following abilities EXCEPTA. paintingB. creativityC. managementD. merchandising87. According to the passage, what was the pleasant side of Disney's patriotism?A. He sided with ordinary Americans in his films.B. He supported America's war efforts in his own way.C. He had doubts about large, bureaucratic organizations.D. He voted for Franklin Roosevelt in the 30s and 40s.88. In the sixth paragraph the sentence "Disney was more or less the genuine article" means that ________.A. Disney was a creative and capable person.B. Disney once agreed to work for the FBI.C. Disney ran his company in a democratic way.D. Disney was sympathetic with ordinary people.89. The writer's attitude toward Walt Disney can best be described as ________.A. sympatheticB. objectiveC. criticalD. skepticalTEXT CWhy do you listen to music? If you should put this question to a' number of people, you might receive answers like these; " I like the beat of music" , " I look for attractive tunefulness" , " I am moved by the sound of choral singing" ," I listen to music for many reasons but I could not begin to describe them to you clearly". Answers to this question would be many and diverse, yet almost no one would reply , "Music means nothing to me. " To most of us, music means something; it evokes some response. We obtain some satisfaction in listening to music.For many, the enjoyment of music does not remain at a standstill. We feel that we can get more satisfaction from the musical experience. We want to make closer contact with music in order to learn more of its nature ; thus we can range more broadly and freely in the areas of musical style, form, and expression. This book explores ways of achieving these objectives. It deals, of course, with the techniques of music , but only in order to show how technique is directed toward expressive aims in music and toward the listener's musical experience. In this way, we may get an idea of the composer's intentions, for indeed, the composer uses every musical device for its power to communicate and for its contribution to the musical experience.Although everyone hears music differently, there is a common ground from which all musical ex-periences grow. That source is sound itself. Sound is the raw material of music. It makes up the body and substance of all musical activity. It is the point of departure in the musical experience.The kinds of sound that can be used for musical purposes are amazingly varied. Throughout the cultures of the world, East and West, a virtually limitless array of sounds has been employed in the service of musical expression. Listen to Oriental theatre music, then to an excerpt from a Wagner work; these two are worlds apart in their qualities of sound as well as in almost every other feature, yet each says something of importance to some listeners. Each can stir a listener and evoke a response in him.All music, whether it is the pulsation of primitive tribal drums or the complex coordination of voices and instruments in an opera, has this feature ; it is based upon the power of sound to stir our senses and– 111 –。

Passage threeConsumers are being confused and misled by the hodge-podge (⼤杂烩) of environmental claims made by household products, according to a “green labeling” study published by Consumers International Friday .Among the report’s more outrageous (令⼈⽆法容忍的) findings-a German fertilizer described itself as “ earthworm friendly” a brand of flour said it was “non-polluting” and a British toilet paper claimed to be “environmentally friendlier”The study was written and researched by Britain’s National Consumer Council (NCC) for lobby group Consumer International . It was funded by the German and Dutch governments and the European Commission .“ While many good and useful claims are being made , it is clear there is a long way to go in ensuring shoppers are adequately informed about the environmental impact of products they buy,” said Consumers International director Anna Fielder .The 10-country study surveyed product packaging in Britain . Western Europe , Scandinavia and the United States . It found that products sold in Germany and the United Kingdom made the most environmental claims on average .The report focused on claims made by specific products , such as detergent (洗涤剂) insect sprays and by some garden products . It did not test the claims , but compared them to labeling guidelines set by the International Standards Organization (ISO) in September ,1999.Researchers documented claims of environmental friendliness made by about 2,000 products and found many too vague or too misleading to meet ISO standards.“Many products had specially-designed labels to make them seem environmentally friendly , but in fact many of these symbols mean nothing ,” said report researcher Philip Page .“Laundry detergents made the most number of claims with 158. Household cleaners were second with 145 separate claims . while paints were third on our list with 73 .The high numbers show how very confusing it must be for consumers to sort the true from the misleading .” he said .The ISO labeling standards ban vague or misleading claims on product packaging , because terms such as “environmentally friendly” and “non-polluting” cannot be verified . “ what we are now pushing for is to have multinational corporations meet the standards set by the ISO .” said Page.31. According to the passage , the NCC found it outrageous that ______A) all the products surveyed claim to meet ISO standardsB) the claims made by products are often unclear or deceivingC) consumers would believe many of the manufactures’ claimD) few products actually prove to be environment friendly32.

What is one of the consequences caused by the many claims of household products ?A) They are likely to lead to serious environmental problemsB) Consumers find it difficult to tell the true from the falseC) They could arouse widespread anger among consumerD) Consumers will be tempted to buy products they don’t need35. It can be inferred from the passage that the lobby group Consumer International wants to _______A) make product labeling satisfy ISO requirementsB) see all household products meet environmental standardsC) warn consumers of the danger of so-called green productsD) verify the efforts of non-polluting productsPassage fourTwo hours from the tall buildings of Manhattan and Philadelphia live some of the world’s largest black bears . They are in northern Pennsylvania’s Pocono Mountains , a home they share with an abundance of other wildlife .The streams , lakes , meadows ( 草地) , mountain ridges and forests that make the Poconos an ideal place for black bearshave also attracted more people to the region . Open spaces are threatened by plans for housing estates and important habitats (栖息地) are endangered by highway construction . To protect the Poconos’ natural beauty from irresponsible development . The Nature Conservancy (⼤⾃然保护协会) named the area one of America’s “Last Great Places” Operating out of a century-old schoolhouse in the village of Long Pond, Pennsylvania, the conservancy’s bud Cook is working with local people and business leaders to balance economic growth with environmental protection. By forging partnerships with people like Francis Altemose, the Conservancy has been able to protect more than 14,000 acres of environmentally important land in the area.Altemose’s family has farmed in the Pocono area for generations. Two years ago Francis worked with the Conservancy to include his farm in a county farmland protection program. As a result, his family’s land can be protected from development and the Altemoses will be better able to provide a secure financial future for their 7-year-old grandson .Cook attributes the Conservancy’s success in the Poconos to having a local presence and a commitment to working with local residents“ The key to protecting these remarkable lands is connecting with the local community,” Cook said . “ The people who live there respect the land . They value quite forests , clear streams and abundant wildlife .
