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 decideon the best choice.Passage OneQuestions 31 to 35 are based on the following passage.When I was in 7th grade, I had a lot of trouble reading. My mother used to sit by my side, and explain each paragraph of each school reading assignment to me because I didn't understand what I was reading. She would have to read each paragraph to me, and then after each paragraph, she summarized what we just read.In class, I tried to hide the fact that I couldn't read. My teachers gave us the last 10 minutes of class to start our reading homework, and I would sit there for the last ten minutes of class staring at the page, pretending I was reading it —I remember a terrible feeling of not wanting to get in trouble for not being able to comprehend. I had to wait until I got home so my mother could explain it to me. How did I ever get into Cornell University By eighth grade I started understanding a little on my own, but I was reading at an incredibly slow rate. In eighth grade, I got hold of all the speed reading books I could get my hands on.I read them all very slowly at the time. I even went out and took a course on speed reading. Then I developed my own system which was easier and produced quicker results. I started practicing these techniques every day, and as I started to read faster, my understanding increased. I found that I stopped daydreaming and thinking about other things while I was reading, and started getting the larger meaning. I was reading faster and comprehending better.I found that when you read slowly, word by word, you get lost in the words, lose the bigger picture, and your comprehension drops. When you read faster, your concentration actually increases and your comprehension goes up because instead of getting lost in the words, you see the overall picture.31.The main difficulty the writer had in reading in her 7th grade was that _____.A) she often forgot her school reading assignmentsB) she had difficulty reading with comprehensionC) she had a poor vocabulary and very bad grammarD) she always looked elsewhere when asked to read正确答案： B32.The writer would pretend to be reading in the last 10 minutes of class because______.A) she was afraid of being found outB) the reading class was terribleC) she had to do what others were doingD) her mother told her to do so正确答案： A33.The writer's reading ability improved a great deal mainly because _____.A) she entered Cornell UniversityB) she took a course on speed readingC) her mother managed to help her outD) she developed her own way of reading正确答案： D34.From her own experience, the writer found that ________.A) one's comprehension drops if one reads too slowlyB) in order to understand better, one has to read slowlyC) one tends to neglect the detailed information if one reads fastD) many people read fast in order to save time正确答案： A35.After reading the passage, we can conclude that the writer wrote the passage in order to_______.A) convince the readers of the importance of higher educationB) tell a story in honor of her motherC) give a detailed description of different reading skillsD) illustrate the necessity of fast reading正确答案： DPassage TwoQuestions 36 to 40 are based on the following passage.Elizabeth's father died when she was nine. Her family was large, and very poor. She struggled for self esteem, but it was difficult when her clothes weren't as nice as the other kids and her new school was still unfamiliar.During a math lesson, Elizabeth stared at the chalkboard and was struggling to understand a concept. With every stroke of the chalk, she became more confused. She had suffered from chronic ear infections (感染), and had missed many days of her fifth grade year. When she finally got the courage to raise her little hand and ask Mr. Thompson how the problem was done, he became very angry. He marched her up in front of the class and told this insecure child that she was "incapable of learning and extremely stupid."This remark plagued (使…困扰) Elizabeth for years.Elizabeth drifted into marriage. After discovering her husband's long time infidelity (不忠), she found herself divorced with three young daughters.

Like most good mothers, she wanted the best for her children. She didn't want to deprive them of their mother. She would rise early and stay up late to get every spare minute she could to study.When she received her first "A" she was confused. She thought there must be some mistake. This was Elizabeth, Elizabeth the stupid. When her good grades piled up, she realized for the first time that maybe Mr. Thompson was wrong.

I mean, all my friends were there. But that's a year ago, now and it feels like such a long time. I love home schooling now. Other kids have to get up early and go to school ―sometimes it takes them over an hour just to get there! But me, I don't have to travel to school. I can stay in bed! All I have to do is go downstairs! And there's no stupid uniform to wear, either. And better food for lunch. I think I enjoy studying more because my mum knows what I like and how I learn best. My grades are better, anyway. So something must be working! I see more of my parents than I would if I was at school, so I think I'm closer to them ―especially my mom ―than other kids who go to school all day. When other kids ask me "what school do you go to?" and I say "I don't go to school." They think I am sad and like, deprived or something. Some think my parents must be religious nuts, or like really controlling. But they're not. Thousands of children are taught at home in this country. No one realizes that. Anyway, I think I'm really lucky, and I know my parents want the best for me.12.A) His experience of home schooling.B) People's attitudes towards the boy's education.C) The performance of the boy as a student.D) His parents are different educators.Script: What is the speaker mainly talking about?正确答案：A13.A) They think the boy is crazy.B) They feel sorry for the boy.C) They think the parents are controlling.D) They believe that the parents are nuts.Script: What do other children think about his experience?正确答案：B14.A) They are loving and caring to the son.B) They do not care about the boy's education.C) They want the boy to have good performance.D) They are religious and controlling.Script: What can be inferred about the boy's parents?正确答案：APassage TwoQuestions 15 to 17 are based on the passage you have just heard.Script: The earliest Mother's Day celebrations can be traced back to the spring celebrations of ancient Greece in honor of Rhea, the Mother of the Gods. During the 1600's, England celebrated a day called "Mothering Sunday," celebrated on the 4th Sunday of Lent. "Mothering Sunday" honored the mothers of England.During that time many of the England's poor worked as servants for the wealthy. As most jobs were located far from their homes, the servants would live at the houses of their employers. On Mothering Sunday the servants would have the day off and were encouraged to return home and spend the day with their mothers. A special cake, called the mothering cake, was often brought along to provide a festive touch.People began honoring their mothers as well as the church. All across the world, more than 46 countries honor mothers with a special day, but not all nations celebrate on the same day. We honor mothers with cards, candy, flowers and dinner out.15.A) Ancient Rhea.B) Ancient Rome.C) Ancient England.D) Ancient Greece.Script: When can the earliest Mother's Day be traced back to?正确答案：D16.A) In 15th century.B) In 16th century.C) In 17th century.D) In 18th century.Script: When was Mothering Sunday celebrated?正确答案：C17.A) A special dinner.B) A special cake.C) Cards, candy, flowers and dinner.D) Cards and flowers.Script: On Mothering Sunday, what did the servants bring back to their mothers?正确答案：BPassage ThreeQuestions 18 to 20 are based on the passage you have just heard.Script: Parents who have more than two children should be charged a lifelong climate change tax to offset the effect of their extra greenhouse gas emissions, an Australian medical expert has proposed. They should pay 5,000 dollars (4,400 US dollars) a head for each extra child and up to 800 dollars every year thereafter, according to the plan published in the Medical Journal of Australia.In contrast, contraceptives and sterilization procedures would be eligible for carbon credits, suggested Professor Barry Walters at the King Edward Memorial Hospital in Perth."Every family choosing to have more than a defined number of children should be charged a carbon tax that would fund the planting of enough trees to offset the carbon cost generated by a new human being," he wrote.Walters made his proposal in a letter in which he criticized the government's payment of a 4,000-dollar "baby bonus" in a bid to boost the birth rate in this sparsely populated country of 21 million people.Paying parents extra for every baby fuelled more emissions and contributed to global warming, he said, adding that the bonus should be replaced with a "baby levy" in line with the "polluter pays" principle. And Professor Garry Egger, director of the New South Wales Centre for Health Promotion and Research, agreed. "Population remains crucial to all environmental considerations," he said. "The debate (around population control) needs to be reopened as part of a second ecological revolution."18.A) 5,000 dollars.B) 5,000 dollars and up to 800 dollars every year thereafter.C) 5,800 dollars every year.D) 800 dollars every year.Script: According to the proposal, how much carbon tax should the parents pay if they have three children?正确答案：B19.A) 5,000 dollars.B) 1,400 dollars.C) 4,000 dollars.D) 800 dollars a year.Script: How much money does the government of Australia pay for a baby bonus?正确答案：C20.A) To push the economy of the country.B) To INCREASE the birth rate.C) To make the country more sparsely populatedD) To reduce global warming.Script: Why does the government provide the baby bonus?正确答案：BSection CDirections: In this section, you will hear a passage three times.

The town 22 the midst of a checkerboard of 23 farms, with fields of grain and hillsides of 24 where, in spring, white clouds of bloom 25 above the green fields. In autumn, oak and maple and birch set up a blaze of color that flamed and 26 across a backdrop of pines. Then foxes barked in the hills and deer silently crossed the fields, half 27 in the mists of the autumn mornings.Along the roads, laurel, viburnum and alder, great ferns and wild flowers, 28 the traveler's eye through much of the year. Even in winter the roadsides were places of beauty, where 29 birds came to feed on the berries and on the seed heads of the dried weeds rising above the snow.

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.Passage OneQuestions 31 to 35 are based on the following passage.When school was out, I hurried to find my sister and get out of the schoolyard before seeing anybody in my class. But Barbara and her friends had beaten us to the playground entrance and they seemed to be waiting for us. Barbara said, "So now you're in the A class." She sounded impressed. "What's the A class?" I asked. Everybody made superior yet faintly envious giggling sounds. "Well, why did you think the teacher moved you to the front of the room, dopey? Didn't you know you were in the C class before, way in the back of the room?"Of course I hadn't known. The Wenatchee fifth grade was bigger than my whole school which had been in North Dakota, and the idea of subdivisions within a grade had never occurred to me. The subdividing for the first marking period had been done before I came to the school, and l had never, in the six weeks when I'd been there, talked to anyone long enough to find out about the A, B, and C classes.I still could not understand why that had made such a difference to Barbara and her friends. I didn’t yet know that it was shameful and dirty to be a transient laborer and ridiculous to be from North Dakota. I thought living in a tent was more fun than living in a house.I didn't know that we were gypsies, really (how that thought would have excited me then! ). It didn't occur to me that we were all looked upon as one more of the untrustworthy natural phenomena, drifting here and there like mists or winds, I didn't know that I was the only child who had camped on the Baumann's land ever to get out of the C class.I only knew that for two happy days I walked to school with Barbara and her friends, played hopscotch and jumped rope with them at class intervals, and was even invited into the house for some ginger ale — a strange drink I had never tasted before.31.The tone of this passage as a whole is __________.A) reflectiveB) enthusiasticC) impersonalD) defensive正确答案：A32.The narrator had most probably been placed in the C class because __________.A) she was a poor readerB) she had come from a small schoolC) the marking system confused herD) all children of transient laborers were placed in the C class正确答案：D33.The basic reason why people in the community distrusted the transient workers was that the transient workers ________.A) tended to be lawbreakersB) had little schoolingC) were afraid of strangersD) were temporary residents正确答案：D34.Which of the following is NOT the characteristic of Gypsies?A) Wandering around the world.B) Making ginger ale in their house.C) Never planting something.D) Being foreigners wherever they go.正确答案：B35.Immediately after the narrator was moved to the A class, what was the attitude of Barbara and Barbara's friends towards her?A) Dislike.B) Acceptance.C) Apology.D) Jealousy.正确答案：BPassage TwoQuestions 36 to 40 are based on the following passage."The world's environment is surprisingly healthy. Discuss." If that were an examination topic, most students would tear it apart, offering a long list of complaints: from local smog to global climate change, from the felling of forests to the extinction of species. Yet the students who should be given the highest marks would actually be those who agreed with the statement. The surprise is how good things are, not how bad.After all, the world's population has more than tripled during this century, and world output has risen hugely, so you would expect the earth itself to have been affected. Indeed, if people lived, consumed and produced things in the same way as they did in 1900(or 1950, or indeed 1980), the world by now would be a pretty disgusting place: smelly, dirty, toxic and dangerous.But they don't. The reasons why they don't, and why the environment has not been ruined, have to do with prices, technological innovation, social change and government regulation in response to popular pressure. That is why today's environmental problems in the poor countries ought, in principle, to be solvable.Raw materials have not run out, and show no sign of doing so. What has happened is that every time a material seems to be running short, the price has risen and, in response, people have looked for new sources of supply, tried to find ways to use less of the material, or looked for a new substitute. For this reason prices for food fluctuate, in response to harvests, natural disasters and political instability; and when they rise, it takes some time before new sources of supply become available. But they always do, assisted by new farming and crop technology. The long term trend has been downwards.It is where prices and markets do not operate properly that this benign trend begins to stumble, and the genuine problems arise. Markets cannot always keep the environment healthy. If no one owns the resource concerned, no one has an interest in conserving it or fostering it: fish is the best example of this.36.According to the author, most students_______.A) believe the world's environment is in an undesirable conditionB) agree that the environment of the world is not as bad as it is thought to beC) get high marks for their good knowledge of the world's environmentD) appear somewhat unconcerned about the state of the world's environment正确答案：A37.The huge increase in world production and population _______.A) has made the world a worse place to live inB) has had a positive influence on the environmentC) has not significantly affected the environmentD) has made the world a dangerous place to live in正确答案：C38.One of the reasons why the long-term trend of prices has been downwards is that _____.A) technological innovation can promote social stabilityB) political instability will cause consumption to dropC) new farming and crop technology can lead to overproductionD) new sources are always becoming available正确答案：D39.Fish resources are diminishing because_______.A) no new substitutes can be found in large quantitiesB) they are not owned by any particular entityC) improper methods of fishing have ruined the fishing groundsD) water pollution is extremely serious正确答案：B40.The primary solution to environmental problems is_______.A) to allow market forces to operate properlyB) to curb consumption of natural resourcesC) to limit the growth of the world populationD) to avoid fluctuations in prices正确答案：APart III Vocabulary and Structure ( 10 minutes )Directions: There are a number of incomplete sentences in this part.

Anyone clever eno ugh to modify this in formatio n for his own purposes can reap substa ntial rewards. Eve n worse, a nu mber of people who have done this and bee n caught at it have man aged to get away without puni shme nt.It's easy for computer crimes to go un detected if no one checks up on what the computer is doing, but even if the crime is detected, the criminal may walk away not only unpunished but with a glowing recommendation from his former employers. Of course, we have no statistics on crimes that go undetected. But it's disturbing to note how many of the crimes we do know about were detected by accide nt, not by systematic in specti ons or other security procedures. The computer crim in als who have bee n caught may have bee n the victims of un com monly bad luck.For example, a certain keypunch operator complained of having to stay overtime to punch extra cards. Investigation revealed that the extra cards she was being asked to punch were for dish on est tran sact ions. In ano ther case, dissatisfied employees of the thief tipped off the company that was being robbed. Un like other lawbreakers, who must leave the coun try, commit suicide, or go to jail, computer crim in als sometimes escape puni shme nt, dema nding not only that they not be charged but that they be give n good recomme ndati ons and perhaps other ben efits.

You are required to select one word for each blank from a list of choices given in a word bank following the passage. Read the passage through carefully before making your choices. Each choice in the bank is identified by a letter. You may not use any of the words in the bank more than once.The story of our English language is typically one of 21 stealing from other languages. That is why English today has an 22 vocabulary of over one million words, while other major languages have far fewer.French, for example, has only about 75,000 words, and that includes English expressions like snack bar and hit parade. The French, however, do not like borrowing foreign words because they think it 23 their language. The government tries to ban words from English and declares that Walkman is not 24 ; so they invent a word, balladeur, which French kids are supposed to say instead — but they don't.Walkman is 25 because it isn't even English. 26 , it was invented by the Japanese 27 who put two simple English words together to name their product. That doesn't bother us, but it does bother the French. Such is the 28 messiness of English. That happy 29 that willingness to acceptwords from anywhere, explains the richness of English and why it has become,30 , the first truly global language.A) fascinating B) to sum up C) massive D) manufacturersE) competition F) desirable G) estimated H) toleranceI) sincere J) Strictly speaking K) corrupts L) gloriousM) making sense N) to a very real extent O) decade21. ______________________正确答案：C22. ______________________正确答案：G23. ______________________正确答案：K24. ______________________正确答案：F25. ______________________正确答案：A26. ______________________正确答案：J27. ______________________正确答案：D28. ______________________正确答案：L29. ______________________正确答案：H30. ______________________正确答案：NSection BDirections: There are several passages in this section. 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.Passage OneQuestions 31 to 35 are based on the following passage.Napoleon Bonaparte was keen to learn English while in exile (流放), documents shown in Britain for the first time reveal.The deposed French emperor apparently wanted to learn the language of his foes so he could read what the London papers were writing about him. Scraps of paper from his English lessonsin captivity on the island of St Helena go on show at London's National Maritime Museum on Thursday. They include lines of French haltingly translated by Napoleon into English.Count Emmanuel de las Cases, who accompanied the emperor into exile after he surrendered to the English at the Battle of Waterloo, wrote about his desire to learn the language in his memoirs (论文集). According to him, Napoleon had his first lesson on 17 January 1816, when he asked las Cases to dictate to him some sentences in French, which he then translated, using a table of auxiliary verbs and a dictionary.According to historian Dr Peter Hicks, las Cases describes how Napoleon hated being sat down to work like a schoolboy but steeled himself for the task. Dr Hicks said: "He was not necessarily anti-English. He had to fight because it was the enemy of France." He added: "In France people are amazed to find that he was learning English. But he didn't do it for pleasure. He wondered how much money he could have saved in translation if he could have learnt English."The documents are to feature in the Greenwich museum's Nelson and Napoleon exhibition, being held to commemorate the 200th anniversary of Nelson's death at the Battle of Trafalgar. They are among a wide range of letters, paintings, personal items and objects lent by galleries and museums across Europe. The English lesson papers, described by Dr Hicks as quite remarkable, are on loan from the Foundation Napoleon in Paris.31.What evidence shows that Napoleon liked to learn English?A) Documents displayed in Greenwich museum.B) Scraps of paper from his English lessons.C) A person who accompanied him said that.D) All the above.正确答案：D32.According to the passage, Napoleon learned English probably because _______________.A) he was very concerned about British’s opini on about himB) he just learned it for funC) it could save him a lot of money in translationD) it helped him pass the time in exile正确答案：A33.What is Napoleon's actual attitude towards Britain?A) Hatred.B) Hostile.C) cautious.D) Optimistic.正确答案：B34.It can be inferred from the passage that _______________.A) the paper kept in museum shows the whole article translated by NapoleonB) French people were indifferent to know Napoleon's learning EnglishC) Napoleon hated sitting there still and learning stuffD) Napoleon liked to translate English into French in class正确答案：C35.Where do you think this article is probably from?A) National Geography.B) Anecdote Magazine.C) Science.D) Schedule of Museum.正确答案：BPassage TwoQuestions 36 to 40 are based on the following passage.Taste is such a subjective matter that we don't usually conduct preference tests for food. The most you can say about anyone's preference is that it's one person's opinion. But because the two big cola companies —Coca-Cola and Pepsi Cola are marketed so aggressively, we've wondered how big a role taste preference actually plays in brand loyalty. We set up a taste test that challenged people who identified themselves as either Coca-Cola or Pepsi fans: Find your brand in a blind tasting.We invited staff volunteers who had a strong liking for either Coca-Cola Classic or Pepsi, Diet Coke, or Diet Pepsi. These were people who thought they'd have no trouble telling their brand from the other brand.We eventually located 19 regular cola drinkers and 27 diet cola drinkers. Then we fed them four unidentified samples of cola one at a time, regular colas for the one group, diet versions for the other. We asked them to tell us whether each sample was Coke or Pepsi; then we analyzed the records statistically to compare the participants' choices with what mere guess-work could have accomplished.Getting all four samples right was a tough test, but not too tough, we thought, for people who believed they could recognize their brand. In the end, only 7 out of 19 regular cola drinkers correctly identified their brand of choice in all four trials. The diet-cola drinkers did a little worse —only 7 of 27 identified all foursamples correctly.While both groups did better than chance would predict, nearly half the participants in each group made the wrong choice two or more times. Two people got all four samples wrong. Overall, half the participants did about as well on the last round of tasting as on the first, so fatigue, or taste burnout, was not a factor. Our preference test results suggest that only a few Pepsi participants and Coke fans may really be able to tell their favorite brand by taste and price.36.According to the passage the preference test was conducted in order to ________.A) find out the role taste preference plays in a person's drinkingB) reveal which cola is more to the liking of the drinkersC) show that a person's opinion about taste is mere guess-workD) compare the ability of the participants in choosing their drinks正确答案：A37.The statistics recorded in the preference tests show that ________.A) Coca-Cola and Pepsi are people's two most favorite drinksB) there is not much difference in taste between Coca-Cola and PepsiC) few people had trouble telling Coca-Cola from PepsiD) people's tastes differ from one another正确答案：B38.It is implied in the first paragraph that ________.A) the purpose of taste tests is to promote the sale of colasB) the improvement of quality is the chief concern of the two cola companiesC) the competition between the two colas is very strongD) blind tasting is necessary for identifying fans正确答案：C39.The word "burnout" (in Para. 5) refers to the state of ________.A) being seriously burnt in the skinB) being unable to burn for lack of fuelC) being badly damaged by fireD) being unable to function because of excessive use正确答案：D40.The author's purpose in writing this passage is to ________.A) show that taste preference is highly subjectiveB) argue that taste test is an important marketing strategyC) emphasize that taste and price are closely related to each otherD) recommend that blind tasting be introduced in the quality control of colas正确答案：APart III Vocabulary and Structure ( 10 minutes )Directions: There are a number of incomplete sentences 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.Passage OneQuestions 31 to 35 are based on the following passage.When school was out, I hurried to find my sister and get out of the schoolyard before seeing anybody in my class. But Barbara and her friends had beaten us to the playground entrance and they seemed to be waiting for us. Barbara said, "So now you're in the A class." She sounded impressed. "What's the A class?" I asked. Everybody made superior yet faintly envious giggling sounds. "Well, why did you think the teacher moved you to the front of the room, dopey? Didn't you know you were in the C class before, way in the back of the room?" Of course I hadn't known. The Wenatchee fifth grade was bigger than my whole school which had been in North Dakota, and the idea of subdivisions within a grade had never occurred to me. The subdividing for the first marking period had been done before I came to the school, and l had never, in the six weeks when I'd been there, talked to anyone long enough to find out about the A, B, and C classes. I still could not understand why that had made such a difference to Barbara and her friends. I didn’t yet know that it was shameful and dirty to be a transient laborer and ridiculous to be from North Dakota. I thought living in a tent was more fun than living in a house. I didn't know that we were gypsies, really (how that thought would have excited me then! ). It didn't occur to me that we were all looked upon as one more of the untrustworthy natural phenomena, drifting here and there like mists or winds, I didn't know that I was the only child who had camped on the Baumann's land ever to get out of the C class. I only knew that for two happy days I walked to school with Barbara and her friends, played hopscotch and jumped rope with them at class intervals, and was even invited into the house for some ginger ale — a strange drink I had never tasted before.31.The tone of this passage as a whole is __________.A) reflectiveB) enthusiasticC) impersonalD) defensive正确答案：A32.The narrator had most probably been placed in the C class because __________.A) she was a poor readerB) she had come from a small schoolC) the marking system confused herD) all children of transient laborers were placed in the C class正确答案：D33.The basic reason why people in the community distrusted the transient workers was that the transient workers ________.A) tended to be lawbreakersB) had little schoolingC) were afraid of strangersD) were temporary residents正确答案：D34.Which of the following is NOT the characteristic of Gypsies?A) Wandering around the world.B) Making ginger ale in their house.C) Never planting something.D) Being foreigners wherever they go.正确答案：B35.Immediately after the narrator was moved to the A class, what was the attitude of Barbara and Barbara's friends towards her?A) Dislike.B) Acceptance.C) Apology.D) Jealousy.正确答案：BPassage TwoQuestions 36 to 40 are based on the following passage.More and more, the operations of our business, governments, and financial institutions are controlled by information that exists only inside computer memories. Anyone clever enough to modify this information for his own purposes can reap substantial rewards. Even worse, a number of people who have done this and been caught at it have managed to get away without punishment. It's easy for computer crimes to go undetected if no one checks up on what the computer is doing, but even if the crime is detected, the criminal may walk away not only unpunished but with a glowing recommendation from his former employers. Of course, we have no statistics on crimes that go undetected. But it's disturbing to note how many of the crimes we do know about were detected by accident, not by systematic inspections or other security procedures. The computer criminals who have been caught may have been the victims of uncommonly bad luck. For example, a certain keypunch operator complained of having to stay overtime to punch extra cards. Investigation revealed that the extra cards she was being asked to punch were for dishonest transactions. In another case, dissatisfied employees of the thief tipped off the company that was being robbed. Unlike other lawbreakers, who must leave the country, commit suicide, or go to jail, computer criminals sometimes escape punishment, demanding not only that theynot be charged but that they be given good recommendations and perhaps other benefits. All too often, their demands have been met. Why? Because company executives are afraid of the bad publicity that would result if the public found out their computer had been misused.They hesitate at the thought of a criminal boasting in open court of how he juggled the most confidential records right under the noses of the company's executives, accountants, and security staff. And so another computer criminal departs with just the recommendations he needs to continue his crimes elsewhere.36.It can be concluded from the passage that _______.A) it is still impossible to detect computer crimes todayB) computer crimes are one of most serious problems in the operation of the financial institutionsC) computer criminals can escape punishment because they can't be detectedD) people commit computer crimes at the request of their company正确答案：B37.It is implied in the third paragraph that _______.A) more computer crimes go undetected than are discoveredB) the rapid increase of computer crimes is a troublesome problemC) most computer criminals are smart enough to cover up their crimesD) most computer criminals who are caught blame their bad luck正确答案：A38.Which of the following is mentioned in the passage?A) A strict law against computer crimes must be enforced.B) Companies need to impose restrictions on confidential information.C) Companies will guard against computer crimes to protect their reputation.D) Companies usually hesitate to uncover computer crimes.正确答案：D39.The underlying reason for the computer criminals to get recommendations he needs is that _______.A) they have skills formidably difficult for others to masterB) the employers are afraid that they would take avenge if punishedC) the employers are much afraid of bringing the public into disbelief towards them through the criminals' words in open courtD) those who commit crimes do not mean bad正确答案：C40.What may happen to computer criminals once they are caught?A) With bad reputation they can hardly find another job.B) They will be denied access to confidential records.C) They may walk away and easily find another job.D) They must leave the country or go to jail.正确答案：CPart III Vocabulary and Structure ( 10 minutes )Directions: There are a number of incomplete sentences 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.Passage OneQuestions 31 to 35 are based on the following passage.Imagine a mass of floating waste is two times the size of the state of Texas. Texas has a land area of more than 678,000 square kilometers. So it might be difficult to imagine anything twice as big.All together, this mass of waste flowing in the North Pacific Ocean is known as the Great Pacific Ocean Garbage Patch. It weighs about 3,500,000 tons.The eastern part of the Great Pacific Ocean Garbage Patch is about l,600 kilometers west of California. The western part is west of the Hawaiian Islands and east of Japan. The area has been described as a kind of oceanic desert，with light winds and slow moving water currents. The water moves so slowly that garbage from all over the world collects there.In recent years, there have been growing concerns about the floating garbage and its effect on sea creatures and human health. Scientists say thousands of animals get trapped in the floating waste, resulting in death or injury. Even more die from a lack of food or water after swallowing pieces of plastic.The floating garbage can also have harmful effects on people. There is an increased threat of infection of disease from polluted waste, and from eating fish that swallowed waste. Divers can also get trapped in the plastic.Its existence first gained public attention in l997. That was when racing boat captain and oceanographer Charles Moore and his crew sailed into the garbage while returning from a racing event. Five years earlier, another oceanographer learned of the trash after a shipment of rubber ducks got lost at sea. Many of those toys are now part of the Great Pacific Ocean Garbage Patch.In August, 2009, a team from the University of California, San Diego became the latest group to travel to it. They were shocked by the amount of waste they saw. They gathered hundreds of sea creatures and water samples to measure the garbage patch's effect on ocean environment.31.How did the writer introduce the topic of the passage?A) By giving an example.B) By listing the facts.C) By telling a story.D) By giving a comparison.正确答案：D32.What do we know about the Great Pacific Ocean Garbage Patch?A) It is made up of various kinds of plastic products.B) It is a solid mass of floating waste materials.C) It lies l60,000 kilometers east of California.D) It is described as a kind of oceanic desert.正确答案：A33.Why do people pay attention to the Great Pacific Ocean Garbage Patch?A) Because it may prevent the flow of ocean water.B) Because the polluted plastic articles will move up the food chain.C) Because it may be from an island in the pacific.D) Because ships may be trapped in the floating waste.正确答案：B34.Which column can you find the passage on a newspaper?A) Sports and entertainment.B) Media and culture.C) Environment and society.D) Science and technology.正确答案：C35.The purpose of writing this passage is to____________.A) warn people of the danger to travel in the pacificB) analyze what caused the waste patch in the pacificC) give advice on how to recycle waste in the oceanD) introduce the Great Pacific Ocean Garbage Patch正确答案：DPassage TwoQuestions 36 to 40 are based on the following passage.More and more, the operations of our business, governments, and financial institutions are controlled by information that exists only inside computer memories. Anyone clever enough to modify this information for his own purposes can reap substantial rewards. Even worse, a number of people who have done this and been caught at it have managed to get away without punishment.It's easy for computer crimes to go undetected if no one checks up on what the computer is doing, but even if the crime is detected, the criminal may walk away not only unpunished but with a glowing recommendation from his former employers. Of course, we have no statistics on crimes that go undetected. But it's disturbing to note how many of the crimes we do know about were detected by accident, not by systematic inspections or other security procedures. The computer criminals who have been caught may have been the victims of uncommonly bad luck.For example, a certain keypunch operator complained of having to stay overtime to punch extra cards. Investigation revealed that the extra cards she was being asked to punch were for dishonest transactions. In another case, dissatisfied employees of the thief tipped off the company that was being robbed. Unlike other lawbreakers, who must leave the country, commit suicide, or go to jail, computer criminals sometimes escape punishment, demanding not only that they not be charged but that they be given good recommendations and perhaps other benefits. All too often, their demands have been met.Why? Because company executives are afraid of the bad publicity that would result if the public found out their computer had been misused.They hesitate at the thought of a criminal boasting in open court of how he juggled the most confidential records right under the noses of the company's executives, accountants, and security staff. And so another computer criminal departs with just the recommendations he needs to continue his crimes elsewhere.36.It can be concluded from the passage that _______.A) it is still impossible to detect computer crimes todayB) computer crimes are one of most serious problems in the operation of the financial institutionsC) computer criminals can escape punishment because they can't be detectedD) people commit computer crimes at the request of their company正确答案：B37.It is implied in the third paragraph that _______.A) more computer crimes go undetected than are discoveredB) the rapid increase of computer crimes is a troublesome problemC) most computer criminals are smart enough to cover up their crimesD) most computer criminals who are caught blame their bad luck正确答案：A38.Which of the following is mentioned in the passage?A) A strict law against computer crimes must be enforced.B) Companies need to impose restrictions on confidential information.C) Companies will guard against computer crimes to protect their reputation.D) Companies usually hesitate to uncover computer crimes.正确答案：D39.The underlying reason for the computer criminals to get recommendations he needs is that _______.A) they have skills formidably difficult for others to masterB) the employers are afraid that they would take avenge if punishedC) the employers are much afraid of bringing the public into disbelief towards them through the criminals' words in open courtD) those who commit crimes do not mean bad正确答案：C40.What may happen to computer criminals once they are caught?A) With bad reputation they can hardly find another job.B) They will be denied access to confidential records.C) They may walk away and easily find another job.D) They must leave the country or go to jail.正确答案：CPart III Vocabulary and Structure ( 10 minutes )Directions: There are a number of incomplete sentences in this part.

But Barbara and her friends had beaten us to the playground entrance and they seemed to be waiting for us. Barbara said, "So now you're in the A class." She sounded impressed. "What's the A class?" I asked. Everybody made superior yet faintly envious giggling sounds. "Well, why did you think the teacher moved you to the front of the room, dopey? Didn't you know youwere in the C class before, way in the back of the room?" Of course I hadn't known. The Wenatchee fifth grade was bigger than my whole school which had been in North Dakota, and the idea of subdivisions within a grade had never occurred to me. The subdividing for the first marking period had been done before I came to the school, and l had never, in the six weeks when I'd been there, talked to anyone long enough to find out about the A, B, and C classes.I still could not understand why that had made sucha difference to Barbara and her friends. I didn’t yet know that it was shameful and dirty to be a transient laborer and ridiculous to be from North Dakota. I thought living in a tent was more fun than living in a house.I didn't know that we were gypsies, really (how that thought would have excited me then! ). It didn't occur to me that we were all looked upon as one more of the untrustworthy natural phenomena, drifting here and there like mists or winds, I didn't know that I was the only child who had camped on the Baumann's land ever to get out of the C class.I only knew that for two happy days I walked to school with Barbara and her friends, played hopscotch and jumped rope with them at class intervals, and was even invitedinto the house for some ginger ale —a strange drink I had never tasted before.31.The tone of this passage as a whole is __________.A) reflectiveB) enthusiasticC) impersonalD) defensive正确答案： A32.The narrator had most probably been placed in the C class because __________.A) she was a poor readerB) she had come from a small schoolC) the marking system confused herD) all children of transient laborers were placed in the C class正确答案： D33.The basic reason why people in the community distrusted the transient workers was that the transient workers ________.A) tended to be lawbreakersB) had little schoolingC) were afraid of strangersD) were temporary residents正确答案： D34.Which of the following is NOT the characteristic of Gypsies?A) Wandering around the world.B) Making ginger ale in their house.C) Never planting something.D) Being foreigners wherever they go.正确答案： B35.Immediately after the narrator was moved to the A class, what was the attitude of Barbara and Barbara's friends towards her?A) Dislike.B) Acceptance.C) Apology.D) Jealousy.正确答案： BPassage TwoQuestions 36 to 40 are based on the following passage.More and more, the operations of our business, governments, and financial institutions are controlled by information that exists only inside computer memories.

Script: Sometimes I have thought it would be an excellent rule to live each day as if we should die tomorrow. Such an attitude would emphasize sharply the values of life. We should live each day with gentleness, vigor, and a keenness of appreciation which are often lost when time stretches before us in the constant panorama of more days and months and years to come. There are those who, of course, who would adopt the epicurean (享乐者) motto of "Eat, drink, and be merry," but most people would be chastened (磨练) by the certainty of impendent death. It has often been noted that those who live, or have lived, in the shadow of death bring a mellow sweetness to everything they do. Most of us, however, take life for granted. We know that one day we must die, but usually we picture that day as far in the future. When we are in buoyant (乐观的) health, death is all but unimaginable. We seldom think of it. The days stretch out in an endless vista. So we go about petty tasks, hardly aware of our listless attitude toward life.
