厦门大学网络教育2015-2016学年第一学期《英语2》课程复习题I. Reading Comprehension:Passage 1Trees should only be pruned (修剪) when there is a good and clear reason for doing so and, fortunately, the number of such reasons is small. Pruning involves the cutting away of overgrown and unwanted branches, and the inexperienced gardener can be encouraged by the thought that more damage results from doing it unnecessarily than from leaving the tree to grow in its own way.First, pruning may be done to make sure that trees have a desired shape or size. The object may be to get a tree of the right height, and at the same time to help the growth of small side branches which will thicken its appearance or give it a special shape. Secondly, pruning may be done to make the tree healthier. You may cut out diseased or dead wood, or branches that are rubbing against each other and thus cause wounds. The health of a tree may be encouraged by removing branches that are blocking up the center and so preventing the free movement of air.One result of pruning is that an open wound is left on the tree and this provides an easy entry for disease, but it is a wound that will heal. Often there is a race between the healing and the disease as to decide whether the tree will live or die, so that there is a period when the tree is at risk. It should be the aim of every gardener to reduce that risk of death as far as possible. It is essential to make the area which has been pruned smooth and clean, for healing will be slowed down by roughness. You should allow the cut surface to dry for a few hours and then paint it with one of the substances available from garden shops produced especially for this purpose. Pruning is usually done in winter, for then you can see the shape of the tree clearly without interference from the leaves and also it is very unlikely that the cuts you make will bleed. If this does happen, it is, of course, impossible to paint them properly.1. Pruning should be done to _____. BA. make the tree grow tallerB. improve the shape of the treeC. get rid of the small branchesD. make the small branches thicker2. Trees become unhealthy if the gardener _____. AA. allows too many branches to grow in the middleB. does not protect them from the windC. forces them to grow too quicklyD. damages some of the small side branches3. Why is a special substance painted on the tree? BA. To make a wound smooth.B. To prevent disease entering a wound.C. To cover a rough surface.D. To help a wound to dry.4. A good gardener prunes a tree _____. CA. at intervals throughout the yearB. as quickly as possibleC. occasionally when necessaryD. regularly every winter5. What was the author’s purpose when writing this passage?AA. To give practical instructions for pruning a tree.B. To give a general description of pruning.C. To explain how trees develop diseases.D. To discuss different methods of pruning.Passage 2Instead of a boost to productivity, many firms are discovering that the Internet is having the opposite effect in the workplace. Employees are surfing the web, checking their stocks, tuning in to web-broadcasts, all while being paid to work. A recent study suggests that German companies lose almost $50 billion each year through employees’ personal workplace web surfing. It’s been estimated that as many as 60% of all employees with desktop Internet access go online at least once daily for non-business activities. On average they spend some 3.2 hours a week of company time online.The German government, always eager for new sources of tax revenue, has announced that it is investigating ways to tax Internet access by employees for personal use, the theory being that free surf time is a taxable employee benefit -- like a company car.Imposing such a tax wou ld be difficult, but the threat helps to highlight employers’ need to keep employees’ noses to the grindstone. Of course, one company’s problem can be another company’s opportunity. Filtering and monitoring software is a booming business -- and the future looks bright. The Internet access control software business will likely generate over $500 million in annual sales by 2004. That means more firms will be installing software like Super Scout by Surf Control, which not only knows where you surfed, but can block access to nonessential sites. So, if the next time you go surfing your board seems a little bit smaller, it could be because Big Brother is going along for the ride.6. What is the headache to many firms? CA. Employees’ surf time is increasing.B. The difficulty of imposing tax on Internet access by employees for personal use.C. The increasing money paid for employees’ personal use online.D. Business is slow with the coming of the Internet.7. The opposite effect of the Internet, in the eyes of many firms, is that ________ .CA. employees are surfing without realizing the passage of timeB. employees have an access to the Internet for their own benefit free of chargeC. employees pay less attention to their work while they have to pay for the undesirableD. the fluctuation in stock market can affect employees’ incentives8. “to keep employees’ noses to the grindstone” ( Paragraph 3) means ________. AA. to make employees continue to work hard without interruptionB. to prevent employees from going surfing onlineC. to encourage employees to go surfing while workingD. to punish employees for wrongdoing9. Who will benefit from this issue? CA. The German government.B. The firms.C. The software company.D. The company collecting taxes.10. What can be concluded from the last paragraph? CA. There will be a boost to productivity with the help of Surf Control.B. The German government will sooner or later find a new way of increasing tax revenue.C. You are likely to be watched and controlled while online in workplace.D. Your employer is likely present while you go surfing.Passage 3Millions of stars are traveling about in space. A few form groups which journey together, but most of them travel alone. And they travel through a universe so large that one star seldom comes near to another. For the most part each star makes its journey in complete loneliness, like a ship on an empty ocean. The ship will be well over a million miles from its nearest neighbor. From this it is easy to understand why a star seldom finds another anywhere near it.We believe, however, that some two thousand million years ago, another star wandering through space happened to come near our sun. Just as the sun and the moon raise tides on the earth, so this star must have raised tides on the surface of the sun. But they were very different from the small tides that are raised in our oceans; a large tidal wave must have traveled over the surface of the sun, at last forming a mountain so high that we cannot imagine it. As the cause of the disturbance came nearer, so the mountain rose higher and higher. And before the star began to move away again, its tidal pull had become so powerful that this mountain was torn to pieces and threw off small parts of itself into space. These small pieces have been going round the sun ever since. They are the planets.11. Millions of stars are _______. AA. following their own paths in spaceB. moving about without a fixed courseC. seldom wandering about in the universeD. always traveling together12. Some two thousand million years ago, the mountain on the sun was raised probably because_______. BA. a large tidal wave of a star traveled over the surface of the sunB. another star happened to come near the sunC. the sun and the moon raised the tides on the earthD. the star moved away from the sun13. The article suggests that _______. DA. our earth exists before the sunB. how space formedC. no one knows where the earth comes fromD. our earth used to be part of a high mountain on the sun14. The expression "the cause of the disturbance" refers to _______. CA. the large tidal waveB. the powerful tidal pullC. the star coming near the sunD. one of the sun's planets15. In this article, the writer mainly wants to tell the readers _______. DA. that the universe is so large that we cannot imagine itB. how the high mountains were formed on the sunC. why the tides over the surface of the sun were so powerfulD. where the planets in the universe came fromPassage 4Cars are important in the United States. Without a car most people feel that they are poor.And even if a person is poor he doesn’t feel really poor when he has a car.Henry Ford was the man who first started making cars in large numbers. He prob ably didn’t know how much the car was going to affect American culture. The car made the United States a nation on wheels. And it helped make the United States what it is today.There are three main reasons the car became so popular in the United States. First of all the country is a huge one and Americans like to move around in it. The car provides the most comfortable and cheapest form of transportation. With a car people can go any place without spending a lot of money.The second reason cars are popular is the fact that the United States never really developed an efficient and inexpensive form of public transportation. Long-distance trains have never been as common in the United States as they are in other parts of the world. Nowadays there is a good system of air-service provided by planes. But it is too expensive to be used frequently.The third reason is the most important one, though. The American spirit of independence is what really made cars popular. Americans don’t like to wait for a bus or a trai n or even a plane. They don’t like to have to follow an exact schedule. A car gives them the freedom to schedule their own time. And this is the freedom that Americans want most to have.The gas shortage has caused a big problem for Americans. But the answer will not be a bigger system of public transportation. The real solution will have to be a new kind of car, one that does not use so much gas.16. When do most Americans feel they are poor? AA. When they don’t have a car.B. When they live in a huge country.C. When they don’t use planes.D. When they have a car.17. What is the most important reason that cars become popular in the United States? CA. Because the United States is huge.B. Because public transportation is not so good.C. Because Americans like to be independent.D. Because Americans like to move around.18. What public transportation is good in the United States? DA. Buses.B. Trains.C. Taxis.D. Planes.19. What has caused a big problem for Americans? CA. A new kind of car.B. Public transportation.C. The gas shortage.D. Poor people.20. Which of the following is not mentioned according to this passage? CA. Cars have made the nation on wheels.B. Cars have made the United States have a gas shortage.C. Nearly 80% of the American people have cars.D. Cars have made American independent.II. Vocabulary and Structure：1.

Although第三部分阅读理解(共20小题；每小题2分, 满分40分)AYou can hear a soft sound as they approach. They look similar to skateboards but are actually quite different. They are longboards and are rapidly becoming a more common and stylish way to quickly get around.Longboarding began in the 1950s, originally known as sidewalk surfing because riders would move in a way that resembled catching a wave. The boards got their name because they are much longer and wider than skateboards, usually between 90 and 150 centimeters in length. Every kind of longboard consists of trucks, fourwheels and a long deck. The size and shape vary, however, depending on how a rider plans to use it. Unlike theirshorter cousins, longboards are not intended for doing tricks. Their most basic use is for travel. Commuting (往返) via longboard is now common on college campuses in the U.S.. However, they are good for far more than travel.Most longboarders enjoy the feeling that the board gives, a feeling similar to surfing. But some adventurous riders want more than a feeling. The sport of speedboarding appeals to these Thrill-seekers who are looking for an adrenalin (肾上腺素) rush. Speedboards are designed for riding down hills at high speeds while keeping balance. Since the sport can be dangerous, riders usually wear suits and helmets, in the event of a fall. Those who don’t have the need for speed put their longboards to other good uses. Riders can compete in slalom (障碍赛) racing or long-distance riding, both of which require accuracy and strength.If you want something completely unique, there is even longboard dancing. This stylish set of moves is pertormed while rolling on a board.For feeling, speed or style, give a longboard a try. You might just discover you enjoy the ride.56. We may learn from the underlined sentence that ________.A. longboards can only be used for travelB. skateboards are meant for doing tricksC. shorter cousins don’t intend to play jokesD. longboards are popular on college campuses57. If you are a thrill-seeker, you had better choose ________.A. SpeedboardingB. slalom racingC. long-distance ridingD. longboard dancing58. The author wrote the passage to ________.A. study the origin of longboardsB. inform people of the latest productC. investigate the benefits of longboardsD. encourage people to take up longboarding59. What would be the best title for the passage?A. Commuting via LongboardB. A Feeling Similar to SurfingC. Longboarding Getting AroundD. Skateboards and LongboardsBThere are various ways to make your building more sustainable and energy efficient, but the most discussed area to improve is the roof. For years, we’ve heard about the benefits of white roofs. green roofs and roofs covered in solar panels, but depending on the building and its location, one of these types may make a bigger impact than another.For building owners in hot, dry climates, turning your roof white is one of the cheapest things you can do to dramatically cut your energy use, but what about buildings in colder climates? Which choice produces the most benefit?A study recently published in the Journal of Industrial Ecology details a full life cycle assessment Of each roof type for buildings located in Vancouver, Toronto and Calgary, Canada and comes up with a clear winner.The study specifically modeled office buildings with a large roof of 1,340 square meters, assuming a 50-year life span(寿命)for the building, and declared solar roofs the definite winner with green roofs coming in second and white roofs last.White roofs performed the poorest for cold climates because although they reduce cooling requirements in hot weather and also add to the life span of the building, they actually increased the heating requirements in colder climates during the longer cold weather stretches. Green roofs performed much better by both lowering cooling needs and heating needs, improving air quality and reducing storm water runoff, but in the end solar roofs had the greater impact.The on-site electricity generation of solar roofs offsets the negative emissions(排放) from their production and transportation and the continued use over years ends up being a major positive by reducing the amount of coal-powered electricity that a building uses.You can read more specifics about how the different roofs performed in the full 1ife cycle assessmentHERE.60. The study mentioned in the passage ________.A. was carried out in 4 cold cities altogetherB. was conducted by the Journal of Industrial EcologyC. shows white roof type is the cheapest in dry climatesD. indicates solar roof is the best choice in colder climates61. Green roofs in cold weather ________.A. shorten the life span of a buildingB. prevent storm water runoffC. reduce cooling and heating demandsD. increase the heating requirements62. Which has the closest meaning to the underlined word “offsets” in the passage?A. Produces.B. Strengthens.C. Sets off.D. Reduces the effect of.63. Where is the passage probably taken from?A. A textbook.B. A TV program.C. A website.D. A science magazine.CTRIED AND TESTED>> .HOTEL CHECK: Wyndham Grand Xi’an SouthBackgroundOpened in August 2014, the Wyndham Grand Xi’an South is one of the Wyndham Hotel Group’s latest additions, and the largest property in China under the Wyndham Grand brand.What’s it Iike?From the outside, you’d be forgiven for mistaking the Wyndham Grand Xi’an South for a government headquarters(总部)：an impressive structure in both size and shape.

And then something happened that filled him with shock.One August afternoon, he discovered a card saying GREEN BOTTLE STREET at the back of the drawer. He checked the listed details. It was not there. It was a lost, a forgotten street, which existed in the heart of Montreal, not half a mile from city hall, and no one had known. He put the card in his pocket and the next day he went looking for the street with beating heart.At his first glance, Marc realized how it had gotten its unusual name. It was exactly like a bottle in shape. With the sun shining on the garden plots, and the blue sky overhead, the street gave him a sense of peace. A woman some sixty years of age was watering roses in the garden of the first house to his right.He announced, “I’m from the city engineering department, madam.”The woman recovered herself and set her watering can down.“So you have found out at last,” she said. “We paid our taxes and made out a lot of forms and answered the questions of various officials. Then, after a while, we were sent no notices, so we paid no more taxes. No one bothered us at all. It was a long time before we understood that in some way they’d forgotten about us. ”Marc nodded. Of course, if Green Bottle Street had been ignored by the city hall, no inspectors would go there, no tax collectors. All would pass merrily by.“For several years, the tenants(租户) here had lived in harmony with each other and the landlord. The owner became so attached to them that he gave them all he had when he died. I have lived here for more than twenty years. I hope to end my days here as well. ”She smiled pleasantly at him, apparently forgetting for the moment that he carried in his pocket a bomb that could blow their little world to pieces.“You remind me of my nephew,” she said suddenly. “He was a dear boy. I was heartbroken when he died. I’m the last of my family, you know. ”Marc thought of his noisy and violent landlady and neighbors. He could not recall when he had been spoken to with such simple goodwill. His heart warmed to this old lady. “I wonder,”he said slowly, “I am a good tenant, and I wonder…”“Oh yes, ”she leaned forward eagerly, “you could have the top floor of my house. I’m sure it would suit you. ”Marc took the card out of his pocket and tore it across and dropped the pieces in the watering can. As far as he was concerned. Green Bottle Street would remain mislaid forever.67. The underlined sentence “So you’ve found out at last” shows that the woman was ________.A. disappointedB. puzzledC. curiousD. excited68. What can we know about Green Bottle Street from the passage?A. It would be renamed very soon.B. It existed for at least 20 years.C. It got its name from a green bottle.D. It was ignored due to its location.69. It can be inferred that Marc ________.A. carried a bomb in his pocketB. hated inspectors and tax collectorsC. looked for the long-lost street happilyD. would probably move to Green Bottle Street70. Marc tore the card into pieces mainly because ________.A. he fell in love with the womanB. Green Bottle Street got mislaidC. it presented the wrong informationD. he treasured the peace in Green Bottle Street71. From the passage we may know that ________.A. the woman’s nephew resembled Marc a lotB. the woman was attached to where she livedC. tenants in Green Bottle Street often had conflictsD. Marc’s landlord gave away what he had when he diedEPeople will spend a large amount of time to save a few dollars. There’s often a lightbulb moment that happens when you ask them to calculate their time-dollar value, because it reveals that they’re spending more in soft costs than they’re accounting for.Take a second to think about it. If you spend 3 hours avoiding paying $12 for something, you’ve saved money, but you’ve also been working at $4 per hour. If you’re an entrepreneur(企业家), your time is worth more than $4 per hour, and while your choice has saved a “hard” cost, you’ve spent more in your time. Energy and attention are two other soft resources we need to be thinking about, too. Soft costs are just as real as hard costs. In that 3 hours, you could have been doing $300 worth of income-generating, high-value activities.It’s a bit different when you’re employed by someone else, as you’ll make the same whether you spend 3 hours or 3 0 minutes to get something done. However, the people who actively add more value to their organization before being paid to do so are the ones most likely to get a promotion or advancement that honors their contributions because they show up in a different way.The next time you’re thinking of making a decision that involves hard costs, also consider the soft opportunity costs of what you’re currently doing. No decision is made in a vacuum (真空).Outside of “work” situations, think about how much time you spend doing things you’d rather not do, say, cleaning your house. Is it worth $100 to not have to spend your weekend cleaning your house? Why should you clean your house any more than you should spend time with your kids?Keeping costs down is always a great thing to focus on. Just make sure that your focus on keeping costs down isn’t also keeping your income or earning potential down.72. According to Paragraph 2, which of the following belongs to a “hard” cost?A. Money.B. Time.C. Energy.D. Attention.73. The employee who is most likely to get promoted ________.A. shows up early every dayB. works efficiently when paidC. spends more time than neededD. actively makes profit for the company74. What’s the author’s attitude towards spending weekends cleaning the house in Paragraph 5?A. Supportive.B. Disapproving.C. Sympathetic.D. Uncertain.75. How is the text organized?A. Opinion—Argument —Explanation.B. Opinion—Description—Conclusion.C. Introduction—Analysis—Conclusion.D. Introduction—Comparison—Exa mples.第四部分写作(共两节, 满分35分)第一节短文填词(共10小题；每小题1分, 满分1 0分)阅读下面短文, 根据以下提示：1)汉语提示, 2)首字母提示, 3)语境提示, 在每个空格内填入一个适当的英语单词。

厦门大学2011年继续教育试题英语《英语1》复习题I. Reading Comprehension:Passage 1In the water around New York City is a very small island called Liberty Island. On Liberty Island there is a very special statue called the Statute of Liberty. It is one of the most famous sights in the world.The Statue of Liberty was a gift from the people of France to the people of the United States. The statue was made by a French sculptor named Frederic Auguste Bartholdi. The inner support system was designed by Gustave Eiffel, the same man who made the famous Eiffel T ower in Paris.Liberty, of course, means freedom, and the Statue of Liberty was given to the United States to celebrate the one-hundredth anniversary of U.S. independence from England. The statue was built in France, taken apart piece by piece and then rebuilt in the United States. It was opened for the public on October 28, 1886.As you might expect, the statue is very big. Visitors can ride an elevator from the ground to the bottom of the statue. If they want to, they can then walk up the 168 steps to reach the head of the statue where they can look out and enjoy the beautiful sight of the city of New York.1.

He decided that as it w as only a two days’ voyage he could get home without eating anything. So he bought a ticket with the little money he had and went on board the ship.He closed his ears to the sound of the lunch bell, and when dinner time came, he refused to go down to the dining room, saying that he did not feel well.The following day he did not get up until breakfast was over, pretending that he had overslept. At lunch time, too, he kept out of the way. By dinner time, however, he was extre mely hungry. “I can’t stand this any longer,” he said to himself. “I must have something to eat.” At the dinner table he ate everything put in front of him. When he was quite satisfied he felt stronger an d called the waiter.“Bring me the bill,” he said t o the waiter.“The bill?” sai d the waiter in surprise.“Yes,” answered the traveler.“There isn’t any bill here,” said the waiter. “On this ship meals are already included in the ticket.”6. When the traveler was going back home, he found that ________.A. he still had enough money to buy the ticket and something to eatB. he had not enough money left for the ticket back to EnglandC. he had more than enough money left to buy a ticket back to EnglandD. the money he had with him was enough only for a ticket back to England7.He decided to eat nothing during the voyage because _________.A. the voyage was not very longB. he used to have a meal every other dayC. he had no money leftD. he had some food with him8.Which of the following statements is true?A.

They have the same purpose, to get people to buy something.In the days of the cave men there was no advertising. There was no need for it. But as soon as people began to make things to sell, advertising was found to be useful. The businessmen of ancient Egypt employed "criers" to walk through the streets shouting or singing about the things they wanted to sell. Newsboys still "cry" their papers now.In the Middle Ages businessmen hung picture signboards over their shop door showing what they had to sell. A large picture of a shoe above a shop door meant that it was a shoemaker's shop. It suggested buying shoes or having old ones mended.As more things were made to be sold, advertising grew. Today advertising is one of the biggest businesses. A great many people work at the advertisement. Every year billions of dollars are spent on advertising.Advertising helps sell more things to more people. This in turn makes it possible to produce more things to sell. Sometimes it even helps make things cost less. Radios, for example, used to cost much more than they do because they were turned out slowly and expensively by hand. But advertising made more people want radios. When producers began making them by the thousands, they found quicker and cheaper ways of doing the job.11. Advertising is almost all made ___________.A. by people who sell thingsB. by people who buy thingsC. by employed "criers"D. by ancient Egyptians12. All advertisements are the same in that ___________.A. they are of the same colorB. they help sell thingsC. they are made on televisionD. they often look alike13. It is not mentioned in the passage that__________.A. advertising can be in both spoken and written formsB. advertising on TV is much preferredC. the cave men did not make any advertisementD. advertising today employs many "criers"14. Radios used to cost much more than they do today because_____________.A. people did not advertiseB. no one wanted to buy themC. they were made slowly by handD. they were made quickly by machines15. Advertising which is one of the biggest businesses probably began __________.A. in the days of the cave menB. in the Middle AgesC. in the modern timeD. when there were things to sell(答案：ABBCD)II.

For each of them there are 4 choices marked A,B,C and D. You should decide on the best choice, and mark the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet.Passage OneWhen I was studying English at a training center in Washington D.C. in 1998, I shared a house with two young Americans, Jim, and Steve. Jim was studying French and Steve Chinese, both at the Foreign Service Institute. We shared many things in common, but we also thought and acted quite differently. Steve was interested in speaking Chinese. He always tried every opportunity to talk with me with his very English-like pronunciation. I was often touched with his diligence. However, I wanted to practice English with him, too. So we often speak at the same time in the other’s mother tongue. Jim was fresh from college and the youngest of the three. He was going out all the time. The only time we met was at breakfast. There was a small round table in our kitchen, where we sat around to enjoy our food. Steve had Chinese fast food such as dumplings or noodles, and I ate bread and boiled eggs. But Jim often just drank a cup of tea because he had nothing in his bridge. He was too busy dating pretty French girls to do any shopping. I often offered him some of my food. But Steve told me in his poor Chinese that I didn’t need to do that. He said that it was Jim’s own fault and that it served hi m right. Although he was learning Chinese, he still held his American sense of value.Two years later, I returned to china. The three of us still keep in touch. Jim now works in a travel agency in Paris. He got married to one of the pretty girls. He wrote to tell us that now he can enjoy a delicious breakfast with his beautiful wife every morning in their comfortable living room. Steve wants to work in china. And I’m helping him with this. I have introduced him to the dean of the Overseas Section of our university. He is very interested in Steve. He wants to know if Steve can work here teaching the overseas students Chinese. I have sent the message toSteve. I’m sure he’d be very happy to accept the job. However, I hope he could try harder to improve himself. Otherwise, all the overseas students would speak with his terrible pronunciation!61. Which of the following statements is true according to the passage?A. The three of them were all language majors.B. Steve and Jim were more alike in character.C. The author didn’t enjoy talking with Steve.D. Their living condition was rather poor.62. What is the author’s opinion of Steve?A. Steve was a very hardworking fellow.B.Steve enjoyed cooking Chinese food.C.Steve enjoyed shopping more than Jim.D. Steve’s Chinese accent was quite pure.63. Which of the following is true about Jim?A. Going out with girls cost him a lot of time.B. He had a French way of making friends.C. He learned French in order to date Paris girls.D. He liked doing housework.64. What does the last sentence of the 1st paragraph imply?A. Steve didn’t like offering help to others.B. American people only eat their own food.C. Americans and Chinese differ in their sense of value.D. Steve wanted Jim to do his own shopping.65. From the last paragraph, we can learn that ______.A. Jim is a very good husband.B. Steve enjoys teaching Chinese.C. The author works for overseas students.D. The three friends still keep in touch.Passage TwoHow often one hears children wishing they were grown-ups and old people wishing they were young again. Each age has its pleasures and its pains, and the happiest person is the one who enjoys what each age gives him without wasting his time in useless regrets.Childhood is a time when there are few responsibilities. If a child has good parents, he is well fed, looked after and loved. It is unlikely that he will ever again in his life be given so much without having to do anything in return. In addition, life is always presenting new things to the child — things that have lost their interest for older people because they are too well known. But a child has his pains:He is not so free to do what he wishes to do; he is continually being told not to do things or being punished for what he has done wrong. Therefore, a child is not happy as he wishes to be.When the young man starts to earn his own living, he becomes free from discipline of school and parents; but at the same time he is forced to accept responsibilities. With no one to pay for his food, his clothes, or his room, he has to work if he wants to live comfortably. If he spends most of his time playing about in the way that he used to as a child, he will go hungry. And if he breaks the laws of society as he used to break the laws of his parents, he may get himself into trouble. If, however, he works hard,goes by the law and has good health, he may feel satisfied in seeing himself make steady progress in his job and in building up for himself his own position in society.Old age has always been thought of as the worst age to be; but it is not necessary for the old to be unhappy. With old age comes wisdom and the ability to help others with advice wisely given. The old can have the joy of seeing their children making progress in life; they can watch their grandchildren growing up around them; and, perhaps best of all, they can, if their life has been a useful one, fell the happiness of having come through the battle of life safely and of having reached a time when they can lie back and rest, leaving everything to others.66.The happiest people should be those who ______.A. Face up to difficulties in lifeB. Hope to be young againC. Enjoy life in different ageD. Wish to be grown up67.The word “they”underlined in Line 4, para. 2 refers to ____.A. Older peopleB. New thingsC. ChildrenD. Interests68. A child has his pains because____. .A. He can not do whatever he wants toB. He is not allowed to play in rainC. He has a lot of new things to learnD. He can not play at the seaside freely69.When a child becomes a grown-up, he is supposed to ____.A.live comfortablyB. Take responsibilitiesC. Make progress in jobD. Impress the society70.The best title of the passage might be ____.A. Pains and AgesB. Differences in AgesC. The Best Age to BeD. Happiness and AgesPassage ThreeLife really should be one long journey of joy for children who are born with a world of wealth at their tiny feet.But experts on psychological research now believe that silver spoons can leave a bitter taste. If suicide statistics are a sign of happiness, then the rich are a miserable lot. Figures show that it is the rich who most often do away with themselves.Dr. Robert Coles, an internationally famous doctor, is the world’s top expert on the influence of money on children. He has written a well-received book on the subject, The Privileged Ones, and his research shows that too much money in the family can cause as many problems as too little. Obviously there are certain advantages to being rich,” says the 53-year-old doctor, such as better health, education and future work expectation. But most important is the quality of family life. Money can’t buy love.”It can buy a lot of other things, though, and that’s where the trouble starts. Rich kids have so much to choose from that they often become confused. Their parents’over favoring can makethem spoiled. They tend to travel more than other children, from home to home and country to country, which often makes them feel restless.“But privileged children do have a better sense of their positions in the world,” adds Mr. Coles, “and they are more self-assured.”Today’s rich parents perhaps have realized that their riches can be more of a burden than a favor to their children. So their priority is to ensure that their families are as rich in love as they are in money.71. According to the passage, children of rich families __________.A. enjoy travelingB. can buy loveC. usually commit suicideD. are not always happy72. Dr. Robert Coles believes that __________.A. being rich has as many advantages as being poorB. rich children often get too little entertainmentC. rich children sometimes can’t enjoy the thin g they are most in need ofD. rich children aren’t given enough things73. Which of the following statements is NOT TRUE according to the passage?A. It is love that is always lacking in rich and poor families alike.B. Silver spoons can sometimes leave a bitter taste.C. Money can’t buy everything.D. Rich children are often confused because they have so much to choose from.74. The expression “silver spoons” in Paragraph 1 means __________.A. very expensive spoonsB. rich peopleC. wealthD. spoons made of silver75. This article is written mainly to tell readers that __________.A. the rich are more likely to do away with themselvesB. money can bring a lot of things, including loveC. life is always happy for children of rich parentsD. rich parents should realize what is important in the family is love rather than moneyPassage FourCharlene, a 16-year-old student at a high school, found herself faced with a maths test to which she knew none of the answers. Rather than fail, she took the test out with her and filled in the answers with the help of her friends. During a break, she got back into the classroom without being seen, crumpled the test with her shoe, and left it lying on the floor. The teacher thought it had been dropped when the tests were collected; she corrected it, and Charlene received a B.Cheating is, of course, nothing new. But today, educators are finding that cheating on the part of students has become more frequent than in the past. Whether it is copying a friend's homework, using a prepared sheet on an exam, stealing advance copies of a final, writing down rules in one's hand, or paying someone else to write a term paper, cheating appears to have gained acceptance among a growing number of students between 13 and 19.In a 1978 study of cheating at twenty-two high schools in Georgia, it was found that cheating was common among good and poor students alike——although both boys and girls said they thought boys cheated more.Why is student cheating on the rise? No one really knows. Some blame cheating on a general loss of good values among today's youth. They point to facts showing increased damage of public things and school stealing and think that reports, such as Watergate have disappointed youth about the honesty of people in higher positions.Others think that today's youth are far more practical than their forefathers. In the late sixties and early seventies, students were filled with imaginations about changing the world, but today's students feel great stress to succeed.76. According to Paragraph 1, Charlene took the test out because ____.A. her friends could answer none of the problemsB. she tore the test paper to piecesC. she stepped her shoes on the test paperD. she did not want to fail in the math test77. Charlene passed the test because ____.A. she answered all the questions by herselfB. she did the test by cheatingC. she persuaded her teacher to give her a BD. she returned to the classroom to redo the test78. Which of the following is not an example to show that cheating is becoming more and more common?A. A student pays another for doing a test paper.B. A student writes down something to be tested before an exam.C. A student gets well prepared in his studies before an exam.D. A student gets homework from his classmate and then copies it.79. The 1978 study of cheating in Georgia shows that ____.A. only students in the 24 high schools cheated in examinationsB. both good and poor students cheated in examinationsC. boys liked cheating while girls did not like itD. more girls cheated in examinations than boys did80. One of the facts for the rise of cheating is that ____.A. more and more public things are damagedB. good values disappoint studentsC. more and more students begin to stealD. honest people are in higher positionPart Ⅳ Translation (2×10 points)Directions:There are 10 sentences in this section. Please translate sentences 8185 from Chinese into English, and translate sentences 8690 from English into Chinese. Write your answer on the Answer Sheet.81.这个漂亮干净的城市给外国旅游者留下了深刻的印象。
