They’re buying houses in the suburbs because they want to get away from the noise, smog, traffic, and crimes of the city. One friend says, “There’s too much air pollution in the city. I prefer the suburbs, where the air is clean.” Another friend complains about the traffic: There are too many cars downtown! You can’t find a parking place, and the traffic jams are terrible.” Everyone complains about crime: “The city is full of criminals. I rarely leave my house at night----it’s too dangerous.”Before my friends move out of the city, they usually recite the advantages of suburban life: green grass, flowers, swimming pools, barbecues, and so on. Yet after my friends have lived there for a year or so, they realized that suburban life is not so pleasant as they were expecting. What causes this change? Their gardens! They soon learn that one unavoidable part of suburban life is yard work. After they work all weekend in their gardens, they’re much too tired to take a swim in their pools or even to cook some meat on their barbecues. And they have another complaint: they can’t live in suburbs without a car. Most of my friends moved to the suburbs to avoid traffic, but now they have to commute to work downtown. They sit on a busy freeway two hours every day!My opinions about urban life are very different from my friends’----I live downtown; and I love it! Why? Well, first, I love nature----flowers, trees, and animals. In the city, I have all the advantages of nature: I can walk through the public park, smellthe flowers, and sit on the grass under the trees. I can visit the animals in the zoo. Yet I have none of the disadvantages: I don’t have to do yard work or feed the animals. Also, in the city, I can get everywhere by bus; if there’s a tra ffic jam, I can walk home.It seems that everyone is moving to the suburbs to avoid the crime of the big cities. I have a theory about urban crime, however, so I feel safe downtown. The criminal life will reflect changes in society: if people are buying homes in the suburbs, the criminals will soon follow. Criminals want to avoid noise, smog, and pollution, too. Soon overcrowding and crime will be problems of the suburbs instead of the city!Do the following statements agree with information given in the passage?21. Many of the writer’s friends have moved out of the city and are enjoying a restful life in the suburbs.A) Yes B) No C) Not given22. The writer has decided to join his friends and buy a house in the suburbs.A) Yes B) No C) Not given23. After they have lived in the suburbs for over a year, the writer’s friends feel unhappy with their life there.A) Yes B) No C) Not given24. The writer’s friends enjoy driving on the freeway.A) Yes B) No C) Not givenSection BDirections: There are 4 passages in this part. Each passage is followed by some questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A), B), C) and D). You should decide on the best choice and mark the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet with a single line through the centre.Passage OneQuestions 25 to 28 are based on the following passage:In the early 1600’s, a group known as Separatists lived in England. They were people who wanted to worship god, study the Bible and pray, but the English laws did not allow them to worship as they desired. They were hunted down, beaten, and locked up.Eventually, they heard about freedom of religion in Holland, and planned to escape. After much hardship, they were allowed to leave England.Now called Pilgrims, they lived in Holland for 12 years, but left because they couldn’t stand the hard life, and couldn’t work their own trades. They wanted to find a Kingdom of God for their posterity (后代) to practice religion freely. So they hired the Speedwell and the Mayflower to carry them across the Atlantic to a new land in America.The Speedwell had many leaks and had to turn back. The Mayflower took in their passengers, making a total of over 100. They sailed two months and three days, exhausted and hungry.On November 11, 1620, the Mayflower spotted land. They landed in Province town, Massachusetts. For over a month, they sent men to find the perfect place for them to build their colony. When they finally found a place, they called it Plymouth.Right away they started building homes, knowing winter was near.Unfortunately, a violent storm hit when the houses were not yet finished. The Pilgrims were forced to stay on cramped (狭窄的) Mayflower for their first winter in the new world. When this winter was over, over half of them had died.The Pilgrims eventually made a good friend who helpedthem. His name was Squanto. He showed them where fish swam, how to hunt deer, and how to plant corn.Squanto was a Native American who was kidnapped early in his life and taken to England. This is why he was able to communicate with the Pilgrims.With the help of the Native Americans, there was plenty for everyone to eat that first summer, and also plenty to last for the next winter.The Pilgrims had so much to be thankful for. They gave thanks for good friends, new homes, freedom of religion, and plenty of food in a three-day celebration with their Native American friends.Today we continue the celebration of the Pilgrims and the Native Americans and call it Thanks-giving.25. The Pilgrims spend their first winter ____________.A) in their newly finished houses B) on the ship that carried them across the AtlanticC) celebrating their newly-won freedom D) making friends with the native people26. The Pilgrims learnt to adapt to the new environment ___________.A) with the help of the nativesB) by imitating the Native AmericansC) by trial and errorD) by learning from their earlier experience in Holland27. How did the Pilgrims get along with the Native Americans?A) They were hostile to each other.B) They kept a distance from each other.C) They were very friendly to each other.D) They learned from each other.28. What is the central idea of this passage?A) The origin of Thanksgiving.B) Religious Freedom.C) Early English settlements in America.D) Hardships experienced by the Pilgrims.Passage TwoQuestions 29 to 32 are based on the following passage:Recently, one of my best friends Jennie, with whom I have shared just about everything since the first day of kindergarten, spent the weekend with me. Since I moved to a new town several years ago, we have both always looked forward to the few times a year when we can see each other Over the weekend, we spent hours and hours, staying up late into the night, talking about the people she was hanging around with. She started telling me stories about her new boy friend, about how he experimented with drugs and was into other self-destructive behavior. I was blown away! She told me how she had been lying to her parents about where she was going and even stealing out to see this guy because they didn’t want her around him. No matter how hard I tried to tell her that she deserved better, she didn’t believe me. Her self-respect seemed to have disappeared.I tried to convince her that she was ruining her future and heading for a big trouble. I felt like I was getting nowhere. I just couldn’t believe that she really thought it was acceptable to hang with a bunch of losers, especially her boy friend.By the time she left, I was really worried about her and exhausted by the experience. It had been so frustrating that I had come close to telling her several times during the weekend that maybe we had just grown too far apart to continue our friendship, but I put the power of friendship to the ultimate test. We’d beenfriends for far too long. I had to hope that she valued me enough to know that I was trying to save her from hurting herself. I wanted to believe that our friendship could conquer anything.A Few days later, she called to say that she had thought long and hard about our conversation, and then she told me that she had broken up with her boy friend. I just listened on the other end of the phonewith tears of joy running down my face. It was one of the truly rewarding moments in my life. Never had I been so proud of a friend.29. What was the attitude of Jennie’s parents towards her relationship with her boy friend?A) They were rather tolerant.B) They were indifferent to it.C) They thought their daughter deserved a better friend.D) They did not allow her to continue it.30. How did the author react to Jennie’s relationship with her boy friend?A) She tried her best to dissuade Jennie from continuing it.B) She threatened to break up with Jennie if her advice was ignored.C) She was overcome with pride that Jennie told her about her boy friend.D) She was very angry with Jennie for choosing such a friend.31. How did the author feel when Jennie told her she had broken up with her boy friend?A) She felt relieved.B) She felt happy and proud.C) She felt frustrated and angry.D) She felt exhausted.32. What message does the author try to convey in this passage?A) The power of true friendship can conquer anything.B) Young people should be careful in choosing their friends.C) Parents should take good care of their children.D) Drugs can destroy innocent young people.Passage ThreeQuestions 33 to 36 are based on the following passage:It is, everyone agrees, a huge task that the child performs when he learns to speak, and the fact that he does in so short a period of time challenges explanation.Language learning begins with listening. Individual children vary greatly in the amount of listening they do before they start speaking, and late starters are often long listeners. Most children will “obey” spoken instruc tion some time before they can speak though the word obey is hardly accurate as a description of the eager and delighted cooperation usually shown by the child. Before they can speak, many children will also ask questions by gesture and by making questioning noises.Any attempt to trace the development from the noises babies make to their first spoken words leads to considerable difficulties. It is agreed that they enjoy making noises, and that during the first few months one or two noises sort themselves out as particularly indicative(标示的) of delight, distress, sociability, and so on. But since these cannot be said to show the baby’s intention to communicate they can hardly be regarded as early form of language. It is agreed, too, that from about three months they play with sounds for enjoyment, and that by six months they are able to add new sounds to their repertoire(能发出的全部声音). This self-imitation leads on todeliberate (有意识的) imitation of sounds made or words spoken to them by other people. The problem then arises as to the point at which one can say that these imitations can be considered as speech.33. The first paragraph is mainly about __________.A) the development of babies’ early forms of languageB) the difficulties of babies in learning to speakC) babies’ strong desire to communicateD) babies’ intention tocommunicate34. The author’s purpose in writing the second paragraph is to show that children _________.A) usually obey without asking questionsB) are passive in the process of learning to speakC) are born cooperativeD) learn to speak by listening35. From the passage we learn that ___________.A) early starters can learn to speak within only six monthsB) children show a strong desire role to communicate by making noisesC) imitation plays an important role in learning to speakD) children have various difficulties in learning to speak36. The best title for this passage would be __________.A) How Babies Learn to SpeakB) Early Forms of LanguageC) A Huge Task for ChildrenD) Noise Making and Language LearningPassage FourQuestions 37 to 40 are based on the following passage:Many a young person tells me he wants to be a writer. Ialways encourage such people, but I also explain that there’s a big difference between “being a writer” and writing. In most cases these individuals are dreaming of wealth and fame, not the long hours alone at a typewriter. “You’ve got to want to write,”I say to them, “not want to be a writer.”The reality is that writing is a lonely, private and poor-paying affair. For every writer kissed by fortune there are thousands more whose longing is never rewarded. When I left a 20-year career in the U.S. Coast Guard to become a freelance writer, I had no prospects at all. What I did have was a friend who found me my r oom in a New York apartment building. It didn’t even matter that it was cold and had no bathroom. I immediately bought a used manual typewriter and felt like a genuine writer.After a year or so, however, I still hadn’t gotten a break and began to doubt myself. It was so hard to sell a story that barely made enough to eat. But I knew I wanted to write. I had dreamed about it for years. I wasn’t going to be one of those people who die wondering: What if I would keep putting my dream to the test ---- even though it meant living with uncertainty and fear of failure. This is the Shadowland of hope, and anyone with a dream must learn to live there.37. The passage is meant to __________.A) warn young people of the hardships that a successful writer has to experienceB) advise young people to give up their idea of becoming a professional writerC) show young people it’s unrealistic for a writer to pursue wealth and fameD) encourage young people to pursue a writing career38. Why did the author begin to doubt himself after the firstyear of his writing career?A) He wasn’t able to produce a single book.B) He hadn’t seen a change for the better.C) He wasn’t able to have a rest for a whole year.D) He found his dream would never come true.39. “… people who die wondering, What if?” refers to “ those _________”.A) who think too much of the dark side of lifeB) who regret giving up their career halfwayC) who think a lot without making a decisionD) who are full of imagination even upon death40. “Shadowland” in th e last sentence refers to __________.A) the wonderful one often dreams aboutB) the bright future that one is looking forward toC) the state of uncertainty before one’s final goal is reachedD) a world that exists only in one’s imaginationPart III Vocabulary and Structure (10%) （该部分也可能是cloze, 20个空格，占总分10%）Directions: There are 20 incomplete sentences in this part.

For each question there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. Choose the best answer to each of the questions.Passage OneThe food we eat seems to have profound（深远的）effects on our health. Although science has made enormous steps in making food more fit to eat, it has, at the same time, made many foods unfit to eat. Some research has shown that perhaps forty percent of cancer is related to the diet as well, especially cancer of the colon. Different cultures are more prone to contract certain illnesses because of the food that is characteristic in these cultures. That food related to illness is not a new discovery. In 1945, government researchers realized that nitrates and nitrites, commonly used to preserve color in meats, and other food additives, caused cancer. Yet, these carcinogenic additives remain in our food, and it becomes more difficult all the time to know which things on the packaging labels of processed food are helpful or harmful.The additives（添加剂）which we eat are not all so direct. Farmers often give penicillin to beef and poultry, and because of this, penicillin has been found in the milk of treated cows. Sometimes similar drugs are administered to animals not for medicinal purposes, but for financial reasons. The farmers are simply trying to fatten the animals in order to obtain a higher price on the market. Although the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has tried repeatedly to control these procedures, the practices continue.28. What is the main topic of the passage?A. Food and our healthB. Food and additivesC. Food and cancerD. Food and culture29 All of the following statements are true EXC EPT_______.A. Forty percent of cancer is caused by problems related to food.B. Researchers have known about the potential danger of food additives for many yearsC. We eat some of the food additives directly and some indirectlyD. Drugs are always given to animals for medicinal purposes30. Why do farmers give drugs to their animals?A. to speed up the growth of animalsB. to make the animals fatterC. to make the animals’ meat fit to eatD. to make the animals’ meat rich in nutrients31. It can be inferred from the passage that_________.A. scientist have made all the food fit to eatB. only in recent years have people found that the food is related to one’s illnessC. all kinds of cancer are related to the dietD. some additives are harmful to our health32. The word “this” in the second sentence of paragraph 2 most probably refers to __________.A .farmer B. penicillinC. beef and poultryD. the fact that farmers often give penicillin to beefPassage TwoA credit card can be useful. Y ou could take it into a store and buy a television set or new furniture or clothing or anything you wanted. All you would have to do is to sign your name and take what you wanted out of the store without paying cash.But there is a problem with the cards---they can be financial poison. These cards are just like the poisons we use on insects. If we use them carefully, they can be helpful; but if we use them too much, they can kill us. These cards can kill us financially just as real poison can kill our body.For any money that the user does not pay each month, the credit card company charges a percentage of that amount in interest（利息）. The insect is added every month, so a bill that is not paid gets bigger and bigger.Over 10 percent of the families in the United States are “overextended”. That is, they have more debt on their credit cards than they can pay.Credit cards can be used for almost anything that money can buy. And they can even be used to pay for funerals. For some credit card users, a funeral may be the onlysolution to the debt problems they have caused for themselves by using credit cards.33. A credit card is so useful in daily life that if you have one _______.A. you can borrow money with no interestB. you don’t have to pay anythin g you want.C. you don’t have to bring cash with youD. you can take anything free of charge34. What is the result of using the credit card too much?A. Causing financial problems to cards usersB. Leading to the death of credit card users.C. Increasing the rate of interest of the bills.D. Killing card users like real poison.35. Which of the statement is true according the passage?A. Card users have to pay interest for the money that is not paid in timeB. Interest will be charged for any money paid with a credit card.C. Ten percent of the money used by card users is charged as the interest.D. Card users will pay lower interest if they return the money in time.36. If people are “overextended” (in Paragraph 4) with their credit, it means ______.A. they can no longer use credit cards for anythingB. they have to pay off debts with their money on their cardsC. they have used more money than they can pay offD. they will be overcharged ten percent of interest37. What does the author mean by saying “a funeral may be the only solution to the debt problems…by using credit cards”?A. Some credit card users even use credit cards to pay for their funerals.B. Using credit cards to pay for funerals may solve debt problem.C. No interest will be charged for the money paid for funerals.D.

I have never met a woman so caring (有爱心的) and so determined to teach her 53 .I never really wanted to work for good 54 in math class. I never knew how to study math and never understood some of the concepts. I can remember trying to sneak out (溜出) of the classroom 55 Ms. Vacirca caught me and yelled across the 56 , “Lauren, are you coming to extra help during lunch?” It was a nightmare (恶梦)---she would always 57 me with one foot out of the door, it never 58 . Even then I just thought of it as a thing I HAD to do. It was funny to see how everyone would be in her room during lunch and then again after school. She would 59 everyone to come every day, just so we could do our homework in 60 .Many of the students thought of her as a bit of nag (爱唠叨的人), but 61 they knew that she was right and 62 for it. Many of her tests were hard at first, but as the year progressed so did I. I knew that it was because of her.Even outside class, she was 63 as ever. She always wanted to know what was going on in my (andeveryone else’s) life, and she was always looking out for everyone’s best interest.Ms. Vacirca is a sweet woman with a sense of 64 that you just have to laugh at. When regents (校董，校务委员) were approaching, she was more concerned than ever about everyone doing well. Many of her precious students 65 high, and so she 66 the same from us. Day after day there were students in the classroom 67 problems. When it was time for our big test, I knew I was ready. I walked out of that test with my head 68 .

Each of them is given 4 possible answers marked A, B, C and D. Read each passagecarefully and choose the ONE best answer. Then, mark your answers by blackening the correspondingletters on the Answer Sheet with your pencil.Questions 71-75 are based on the following passage:Passage 1Do you forget to turn off the lights and heaters (暖气设备) when you go out of a room? In 2040 it will not matter. They will turn themselves off and on again when you return. You will choose the temperature for each room, the lighting and the humidity (湿度). A sensor (传感器) will detect the presence of a human (and, with luck, ignore the dog!) and turn the systems on, and when the humans leave it will turn them off again.The sensors will work through the central home computer, and they will do much more than just turn the fires and lights on and off for you. They will detect faulty electrical appliances, plugs or switches, isolate them so that they cannot harm anyone, and then warn you that they need repair. They will detect fire and if you are out of the house, the computer will call the fire brigade (消防队). It will also call the police should the sensors detect an intruder. This will not be too difficult because the locks on the outside doors will be electronic. You will open themusing your personal card--the one you use for shopping—maybe using a number known only to you.It will be impossible to lose the key, and a housebreaker will have to tamper (拨弄) with the lock or with a window. It is not very difficult to make such tampering send a signal to the computer.The computer will be more than a fireman-policeman-servant. it will be an entertainer, and most of your entertainment (娱乐) will come right into your home. It does now, of course but by 2040 “entertainment” will mean much more. For one thing, you will be able to take part actively, rather than just watching...71. The author intends to tell us that .A. in 2040 we will live without the lights and heatersB. in 2040 we will use much more lights and heatersC. in 2040 there will be no switches of lights and heatersD. in 2040 lights and heaters will be on and off automatically72. Which of the following statements is NOT true?A. The sensor is multi-functional.B. Without a computer, the sensor can not do much.C. The sensor will detect fire and make an emergency call.D. You can be taken for an intruder if you tamper with the lock or with a window.73. According to the author, in 2040, new technology .A. will free us from the keys we use todayB. will turn everything into sensorsC. will make the locks out of dateD. will eliminate all crimes74. Thanks to computers, in 2040 people .A. will have no entertainment outsideB. will replace TV with computersC. will be controlled by computersD. will have more fun at home75. The best title for the passage might be .A. Sensors and ComputersB. Life at Home in the Year 2040C. The Development of Science and TechnologyD. Lights and Heaters in the Year 2040Questions 76-80 are based on the following passage:Passage 2At the University of Kansas art museum, scientists tested the effect of different colored walls on two groups of visitors to an exhibit of paintings. For the first group the room was painted white; for the second, dark brown. Movement of each group was followed by an electrical equipment under the carpet. The experiment showed that those who entered the dark brown walked more quickly, covered more area, and spent less time in the room than people in the white one. Dark brown made people more active, but the activity ended sooner. Not only the choice of colors but also the general appearance of a room affects those inside. Another experiment presented people with photographs of faces whose energy was to be commented. Three groups of people were used; each was shown the same photos, but each group was in an ordinary room—a nice office. The third was in a tastefully designed living room with carpeting. Results showed that the people in the beautiful room tend to give higher marks to the faces than those in the ugly room did. Other studies that students do better on tests taken in comfortable room than in ordinary-looking or ugly rooms.76. Which of the following is the best expression of the main idea of this passage?A.People in beautiful rooms tend to give higher marks to photos of faces than people in ugly roomsB.The color and general appearance of a room have a deeper effect on the behavior of the people in itC.The University of Kansas has studied the effects of the color of room on people’s behaviorD.Beautifully furnished, light-coloured rooms make people more comfortable than ugly, dark rooms77. According to the passage, we may conclude that the whiter a room is ________.A. the longer people like to stay in itB. the sooner people in it will leaveC. the more active people in it will becomeD. the more excited people78. What is referred to as the “general appearance” in this passage is ________.A.how many broad windows a room has, through which sunlight might come inB.the size of a roomC.whether there are beautiful walls in a roomD.what the room looks like79. This passage provides us with _______.A. a piece of scientific informationB. a normal lessonC. an interesting testD. a piece of news80. At least how many tests were carried out by the scientists referred to in this passage?A. ThreeB. TwoC. Only oneD. No one knows Questions 81-85 are based on the following passage:Passage 3Early last season, I wrote a column about a random act of kindness I had seen Jordan do to a disabled child outside the Stadium after a game.The day aft er the column ran, I got a call from a man in the western suburbs. He said: “I read what you wrote about Jordan, and I thought I should tell you what I saw.”Here it comes, I thought. It always does. Write something nice about a person, and people call you up to say that the person is not so nice.What the caller said, though, was this: He and his wife had been to a Bulls game, and their car had broken down. They’d had to wait about 45 minutes after the end of the game to get a cab ride to the suburbs.“We were four blocks from the Stadium in a bad area, and at one corner under a streetlight was Jordan’s car,” the man said, “He was standing outside the car, talking with some boys from the neighborhood. It was late at night, and they were just talkin g. I thought it was nice of him, but I wonder why he stopped.”A few weeks later Jordan and I were talking about something else before a game, and I brought up what the man had said. Was the man right? Had Jordan really been talking to those two boys in that grim neighborhood?“Not two boys,” Jordan said. “But four. I see them every night.”Every night? Why?He smiled. “If I don’t stop, I’ll go home knowing they’re waiting for me anyway,” he said. “If you knew my four guys you’d know that they’re going to be out there whether it’s raining or snowing…they’re there.”81. What is the usual response of people to the positive report of a person?A. They will show no interest.B. They will want to know more.C. They will tell something similar.D.

It can be inferred from the passage that _________.A.Jordan knows the way to draw fansB.Jordan is the man who cares about othersC.Jordan is the man who doesn’t mind others’ viewD.Jordan tries every means to please the publicQuestions 86-90 are based on the following passage:Passage 4Inevitably, as you try to make progress you will need the help of others. Getting this help may have less to do with your formal position and authority and more to do with your strategy and approach, which can range from a simple favor to convincing others to accept a priority of yours as if it were their own.Define what needs to be done. Indistinct goals lead to indistinct results. By defining all the tasks required, you increase the likelihood of success. Be sure to include status reports and deadlines as you define specific action items that are needed.Ask an individual for help. When you make a general request for volunteers during a meeting, colleagues often interpret it as “whoever doesn’t have much of anything to do can work on this”. Your chances of getting someone to volunteer thus tend to be slim. However, if you think about who might best be able to help with a task and then specifically ask that person for help, your odds of getting him or her to accept the task increase dramatically.Thank others for their assistance. Always thank and acknowledge others for their help. The person will feel that his or her time and energy were appreciated. In addition, you will likely be able to call on the person again in the future for assistance. But remember that return the favor when he or she needs your help. Such give-and-take behavior could lead to a valuable alliance.Distribute your honor. If you’re congratulated for a job well done, let your supervisors know who helped you do it. Giving credit where credit is due will not only ingratiate（讨……欢心）you with your helper, but it will impress the bosses into considering you for future promotion. After all, the best managers remain those who are best at getting others to help them complete their work for the common good.86. According to the passage, whether you can get others’ help will mainly depend on _________.A. your authorityB. your positionC. your relationshipD. your strategy87. You will likely be able to get help from others, if you ____________________.A. ask if there’re anyone free to help youB. make a general request during a meetingC. ask the specific person for help directlyD. seek for volunteers in your colleagues88. According to the passage, you should thank others for their help, because they’ll ________.A. spend more time and energy to help youB. return the favor when needing helpC. think what they’ve done is worthyD. make a strong alliance with you89. According to the passage, which of the following is NOT what you should do after getting credit?A.Asking your boss to give you a promotion.B.Sharing your credit with the helper.C.Letting your boss know who helped you.D.Distributing credit to your boss if he helped you.90. This passage mainly discusses __________________.A. how to get a promotionB. how to get others’ helpC. how to make a progressD. how to get along with the colleaguesPart V.
