Reading ComprehensionPassage 1Economic liberalism was the prevailing economic philosophy in much of the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, and the U.S. economy developed within its framework. Economic liberalism promoted freedom of action for the individual and the firm through the doctrines of free trade, self-interest, private property, laissez-faire, and competition.According to his philosophy, individuals were free to seek their own occupations, to enter any business, and to act as they saw fit to improve their economic welfare. Economic society was held together by self-interest. Self-interest was thus the motivation force of the economy. For example, to increase personal economic welfare, an individual might decide to produce goods and sell them for profit. But in so doing, that individual automatically benefited the community as well—by purchasing raw materials, providing employment, and supplying goods or services. A worker seeking to increase hi or her wages could do so by increasing productivity. This, too, benefited the employer and the community in general. According to Adam Smith, the individual, in seeking personal gain, was led by an invisible hand to promote the welfare of the whole community. Competition was the regulator of the economy under economic liberalism. Business competed with one another for consumer trade by developing new and better products and by selling existing products at lower prices. Free entry into the market ensured adequate competition, and prices were determined by the free forces of supply and demand. Competitive force determined not only the prices of goods and services but also wage rates.Since a beneficial self-interest was the motivating and driving force of the economy and since competition was to serve as the regulator of the economy, a policy of laissez-faire prevailed. According to this policy, the government kept its hands off the economic activities of individuals and businesses. Its economic role was strictly to protect private property, to enforce contracts, and to act as a judge in economic disputes.21. Concerning “economic liberalism”, which of the following is true?A It was an influential philosophy in the 19th and 20th centuries.B The development of the U.S. as a nation owes much to this philosophy.C It is about the freedom of action in the field of economics.D It is about the doctrines of private-0sector of economy.22. According to the passage, people exchange goods and services in order to ______.A satisfy the needs of other people.B satisfy their own needsC form a societyD promote division of labor23. Which of the following is the best interpretation for Adam Smith’ theory?A Individuals are keen on their own interest.B In their subconsciousness, people wish to serve the community.C In pursuing their self-interest, individuals bring benefits to society.D The Individuals’ economic behavior is regulated by some invisible being.24. Competitive forces have the following functions except ______.A forcing the businesses to develop new and better productsB giving every individual a fair chance for a better jobC to help determine the prices of goods and servicesD to help regulate the wages of people employed25. According to the policy of laissez-faire, the government should ______.A frequency intervene the marketB strictly regulate the marketC give the market much freedomD intervene the market only when it likesPassage 2Changes in the natural rate of unemployment can easily be mistaken for cyclical employment. For this reason it is important to understand the force s influencing the natural rate of unemployment in an economy.Younger workers are more likely to quit their jobs than older workers. It simply takes some time for them to match skills with their employment. So it is reasonable to assume that the younger the average age in the labor force, the higher the natural rate of unemployment.Increased fluctuation in the pattern of demand for domestic goods increases structural unemployment and, in turn, contributes to a higher natural rte of unemployment. An increase in energy prices that occurred in the mid-1970s in U.S. affected hiring in many industries. Increase foreign competition also hurt the U.S. automobile and steel industries at that time.Rapid changes in technology designed to cut costs can also result in greater job separation. In an effort to compete more effectively with foreign firms, many U.S. Firms have shifted to new technology that requires fewer workers per plant and results in slower hiring of new workers.In recent years the number of married women in the labor force has increase sharply, therefore increasing the umber of two-earner families. The existence of a second income prevents income from falling to zero when one of the spouses（配偶）quits a job to search for a better one. Also, the second income allows a longer period to find a new job than would otherwise be possible. Tendencies to move in and out of the labor force can also affect the natural rate of unemployment. Workers who frequently move in and out of the work force have a higher rate of job separation because they are less experienced than other workers. As a result they are more likely to quit or be fired from a job.26. The natural rate of unemployment is higher among younger workers because ______.A they have to spend some time learning the necessary skillsB they often quit their jobs for a changeC they do not treat their jobs seriouslyD they are too young to do their jobs well27. What happened to the American economy when the prices of energy went up in the U.S. in the mid-1970s?A Employment in some related industries was increased.B Employment in some other industries was increased.C Employ7ment in some related industries was reduces.D The U.S. automobile and steel industries were hurt.A. the author is against eating frogsB. taste is illogical and inarguableC. some types of frogs are poisonousD. taste is influenced by many factors33.

The tribal people in India may not eat the following animals EXCEPT_______.A. donkeysB. tigersC. female deerD. house rats35. The passage is probably written for the purpose of _______.A. introducing the eating habit of Indian tribal peopleB. distinguishing different types of tasteC. accounting for people’s different choices of tasteD. explaining the relationship between taste and tribesIII.

Reading Comprehension (30 points)Section ADirections: Read the following passages carefully and do the multiple-choice questions.Text 1Albert Einstein had a great effect on science and history, greater than only a few other men have achieved. An American university president once commented that Einstein had created a new outlook, a new view of the universe. It may be some time before the average mind understands fully the identity of time and space and so on ---- but even ordinary men understand now that the universe is something larger than ever thought before.By 1914 the young Einstein had gained world fame. He accepted the offer to become a professor at the Prussian Academy of Science in Berlin. He had few duties, little teaching and unlimited opportunities for study, but soon his peace and quiet were broken by the First World War.Einstein hated violence. The misery( 悲惨)of war affected him deeply, and he sat unhappily in his office doing little. He lost interest in his research. Only when peace came in 1918 was he able to get back to work.In the years following World War I honors were increasingly heaped on him. He became the head of the Kaiser Whihem Institute of Theoretical Physics. In 1921 he won the Nobel Prize, and he was honored in Germany until the rise of Nazism when he was driven from Germany because he was a Jew.26. The main idea of the first paragraph is _____A. the time when people know EinsteinB. the feeling of an American college presidentC. the change in human thought produced by EinsteinD. the difficulty of Einstein’s thought to teachers27. According to the American university president, ______.A. everyone understands Einstein’s theory todayB. Einstein achieved more than any other scientists in historyC. The theory of relativity can be quickly learned by everyoneD. Our ideas about the universe are different today because of Einstein28. According to paragraph 2, Albert Einstein ______A. was a famous chemistB. headed a research instituteC. was famous in the worldD. enjoyed reading about war29. According to the passage Einstein did his greatest work _____.A. during World War IB. when he was youngC. when Nazism roseD. between 1906-191530. It may be concluded that ____.A. Albert Einstein was forced to serve in the German armyB. Albert Einstein had no other interests besides scienceC. Einstein made a lot more breakthroughs in his research after the First World War.D. His reputation was ruined because of his work during World War IText 2A few minutes ago, walking back from lunch, I started to cross the street when I heard the sound of a coin dropping. It wasn’t mu ch but, as I turned, my eyes caught the heads of several other people turning too. A woman had dropped what appeared to be a dime.The tinkling sound of a coin dropping on pavement is an attention-getter. It can be nothing more than a penny. Whatever the coin is, no one ignores the sound of it. It got me thinking about sounds again.We are surrounded by so many sounds that attract the most attention. People in New York City seldom turn to look when a fire engine, a police car or an ambulance (救护车) comes screaming along the street.When I’m in New York, I’m a New Yorker. I don’t turn either. Like the natives. I hardly hear a siren there.At home in my little town in Connecticut, it’s different. The distant wail of a police car, an emergency vehicle or a f ire siren brings me to my feet if I’m seated and brings me to the window if I’m in bed.It’s the quietest sounds that have most effect on us, not the loudest. In the middle of the night, I can hear a dripping tap a hundred yards away through three closed doors. I’ve beenhearing little creaking noises and sounds which my imagination turns into footsteps in the middle of the night for twenty-five years in our house. How come I never hear those sounds in the daytime?I’m quite clear in my mind what the good sounds are and what the bad sounds are.I’ve turned against whistling, for instance. I used to think of it as the mark of a happy worker but lately I’ve been associating the whistler with a nervous person making compulsive noises.The tapping, tapping, tapping of my typewriter as the keys hit the paper is a lovely sound to me. I often like the sound of what I write better than the looks of it.31. The sound of a coin dropping makes people ________.A. think of money C. pay attention to itB. look at each other D. stop crossing the street32. People in New York _________.A. don’t care about emergencies C. are attracted by soundsB. are used to sirens D. don’t hear loud noi ses33. How does the author relate to sounds at night?A. He imagines sounds that do not exist.B. He exaggerates quiet sounds.C. He thinks taps should be turned off.D. He believes it’s rather quiet at night.34. He dislikes whistling because _________.A. he is tired of it C. it reminds him of tense peopleB. he used to be happier D. it suggests busy daily work35. How does the writer feel about sounds in general?A. They make him feel at home.B. He thinks they should be ignored.C. He believes they are part of our lives.D. He prefers silence to loud noises.Text 3Do you find getting up in the morning so difficult that it’s painful? This might be called laziness, but Dr. Kleitman has a new explanation. He has proved that everyone has a daily energy cycle.During the hours when you labor through your work you may say that you’re “hot”. That’s true. The time of day when you feel most energetic is when your cycle of body temperature is at its peak. For some people the peak comes during the forenoon. For others it comes in the afternoon or evening. No one has discovered why this is so, but it leads to such familiar monologues (自言自语) as: “Get up, John! You’ll be late for work again!” The possible explanation to the trouble is that John is at his temperature-and-energy peak in the evening. Much family quarrelling ends when husbands and wives realize what these energy cycles mean, and which cycle each member of the family has.You can’t change y our energy cycle, but you can learn to make your life fit it better. Habit can help, Dr. Kleitman believes. Maybe you’re sleepy in the evening but feel you must stay up late anyway. Counteract (对抗) your cycle to some extent by habitually staying up later than you want to. If your energy is low in the morning but you have an important job to do early in the day, rise before your usual hour. This won’t change your cycle, but you’ll get up steam (鼓起干劲) and work better at your low point.Get off to a slow start that saves your energy. Get up with a leisurely yawn and stretch. Sit on the edge of the bed a minute before putting your feet on the floor. Avoid the troublesome search for clean clothes by laying them out the night before. Whenever possible, do routine work in the afternoon and save tasks requiring more energy or concentration for your sharper hours.36. If a person finds getting up early a problem, most probably________.A)he is a lazy personB)he refuses to follow his own energy cycleC)he is not sure when his energy is lowD)he is at his peak in the afternoon or evening37. Which of the following may lead to family quarrels according to the passage?A)Unawareness of energy cycles.B)Familiar monologues.C) A change in a family member’s energy cycle.D)Attempts to control the energy cycle of other family members.38. If one wants to work more efficiently at his low point in the morning, he should________.A)change his energy cycle C) get up earlier than usualB)overcome his laziness D) go to bed earlier39. You are advised to rise with a yawn and stretch because it will___________.A)help to keep your energy for the day’s workB)help you to control your temper early in the dayC)enable you to concentrate on your routine workD)keep your energy cycle under control all day40. Which of the following statements is NOT TRUE?A)Getting off to work with a minimum effort helps save one’s energy.B)Dr. Kleitman explains why people reach their peaks at different hours of day.C) Habits help a person adapt to his own energy cycle.D) Children have energy cycles, too.Section B. Skimming and scanningDirections:In this part, you are required to go over the 3 passages quickly and answer the questions.Passage 1. (Question 41 is based on the following passage.)41. This letter is written by a______.A. prospective salespersonB. high school studentC. publisherD. manager28 Beach Road, Newtown.March 20th, 2000The Manager, Royal Publishers, P.O.Box 446 Newtown. Dear Sir,I am 18 years old, and I graduated from Newtown High School last October. At high school my main subjects were English, business studies, history, athletics and science.I would be very interested in working as a salesman. I am very interested in books, and I have always been interested in the publishing business. I enjoy meeting and talking to people.I enclose two letters of reference, a photograph, and my school academic record. I would be available for an interview at any time. I look forward to hearing from you.Yours sincerely,Jack EastwoodPassage2 (Question 42 is based on the following passage.)42. The general idea of the passage is that______.A. doctors can produce magicB. medicine has magic powerC. modern medicine can cure all illnessesD. a healthy mind is also a cure for illnessFor more than five thousand years Chinese doctors have used needles to fight illness. This kind of medicine is called acupuncture. The doctor studies the sick person carefully. Then he puts needles into that person s body at the right places for his illness. Chinese doctors believe that they can control the body s natural forces in this way. At first, doctors in the West thought that this was just another kind of magic. Recently, however, they have found out that it is possible to cure many illnesses like this because the needles help the body to produce its own "medicines". In this way the body cures itself.Nowadays doctors can do a lot of wonderful things. They can use thousands of medicines. They can give you pills and injections. They can even give you mechanical legs or a new heart. Sometimes modern medicine works like magic. But there are still a lot of illnesses that drugs and machines cannot cure completely. Medicine is not only a science; it is an art, too. And in the art of medicine, the mind is very important. You will not have a healthy body unless you have a healthy mind.Passage 3 (Questions 43-45 are based on the following passage.)43. The purpose of this pamphlet is to provide information on______.A. how to open a bank accountB. how to apply for a courseC. who can go to universitiesD. who is eligible for a grant44. Who can get the grant?A. A foreign student who has been there for 11 months.B. A British pupil in a secondary school.C. A British student who studies in the University.D. A university graduate who wants to continue his studies.45. A 31 year old nurse wishes to study medicine at a university. She has worked since she was25. How much extra money will she get a year?A.100 pounds.B.155 pounds.C. 615 pounds.D. 715 pounds.GETTING A GRANTWho can get this money? Anyone who gets a place on a first degree course, although a student who has already attended a course of advanced further education may not. Students must also have been resident in the UK for at least three years, which can exclude some students from overseas.SPECIAL CASESIf a student has worked before college: A student who is 26 or more before the course starts and who has worked for at least three of the previous six years will get extra money -155 pounds a year if 26, increasing to a maximum of 615 pounds at 29 or more.Banking: Most of the big banks offer special services to students who open accounts. A student won’t usually have to pay bank charges as long as the account stays in credit.Part III. Cloze (10 points)Directions: Following the passage there are four choices for each blank.

Both the eye and thecamera have a lens, and both produce a picture on a screen. In each case the picture is made up of millions of spots of light.Let us see how the eye works. When we look at an object — a person, a house, or whatever it may be — we do not see all the details of the object in one piece. We imagine that we do, but this is not the case. In fact, the eye builds up the picture for us in our brain, which controls our sight, in millions of separate parts, and, although we do not realize it, all these details are seen separately.This is what happens when we look at something. Beams of light of different degrees of intensity, reflected from all parts of the objects, strike the lens of the eye. The lens then gathers together the spots of light from these beams and focuses them on to a light-sensitive plate — the retina — at the back of the eyeball. In this way an image of the object is produced on the retina in the form of a pattern of lights.The retina contains millions of minute light-sensitive elements, each of which is separately connected to the brain by a tiny fiber in the optic nerve. These nerve fibers, working independently, pick out minute details from the image on the retina and turn the small spots of light into nerve impulses of different strengths. They then transmit these impulses to the brain. They do this all at the same time.All the details of the image are fed to the brain, and, as we taught our brain to add them together correctly, we see a clear picture of the object as a whole.Television, which means vision at a distance, operates on a similar principle. A television picture is built up in thousands of separate parts.Beams of light reflected from the subject being televised strike the lens of the television camera, which corresponds to the lens of the eye. The camera lens gathers together the spots of light from these beams and focuses an image of the subject on to a place, the surface of which is coated with millions of photo-electric elements sensitive to light.The spots of light forming the image on the plate cannot be transmitted as light. So they are temporarily converted by an electronic device into millions of electrical impulses; that is, into charges of electricity.These electrical impulses are then sent through space on a wireless wave to the homes of the viewers. They are picked up by the aerials and conveyed to theIII. Reading Comprehension （30%）receivers — to the television sets. There, they are finally converted back into the spots of light that make up the picture on the television screen.41. In the first paragraph we are told that the television camera resembles thehuman eye in ________________.A. one wayB. two waysC. three waysD. a large number of ways42. The retina is _______________.A. a lensB. a beam of lightC. a part of the brainD. a light-sensitive plate43. The nerve fibers connecting these light-sensitive elements to the brain________________.A. all work togetherB. help each otherC. work independentlyD. work in small groups44. A camera lens focuses an image on to _______________.A. the subjectB. a surface made up of millions of light-sensitive elementsC. a television setD. millions of photo-electric beams of light45. The spots of light forming the image on the plate in a television camera areconverted into _____________.A. electricityB. picturesC. an electronic deviceD. a wirelessPassage twoAt sixteen Ron Mackie might have stayed at school, but the future called to him excitedly. “Get out of the classroom into a job,” it said, and Ron obeyed. His father, supporting the decision, found a place for him in a supermarket. “You’re lucky, Ron,”he said. “For every boy with a job these days, there’s a dozen with-out.” So Ron joined the working world at twenty pounds a week.For a year he spent his days filling shelves with tins of food. By the end of that time he was looking back on his school-days as a time of great variety and satisfaction. He searched for an interest in his work, with little success.One fine day instead of going to work Ron got a lift on a lorry going south. With nine pounds in his pocket, a full heart and a great longing for the sea, he set out to make a better way for himself. That evening, in Bournemouth, he had a sandwich and a drink in a café run by an elderly man and his wife. Before he had finished his sandwich, the woman had taken him for the rest of the summer, at twenty pounds a week, a room upstairs and three meals a day. The ease and speed of it rather took Ron’s breath away. At quite times, Ron had to check the old man’s arithmetic in the records of business.At the end of the season, he stayed on the coast. He was again surprised how straightforward it was for a boy of seventeen to make a living. He worked in shops mostly, but once he took a job in a hotel for three weeks. Late in October he was taken on by the sick manager of a shoe shop. Ron soon found himself in charge there; he was the only one who could keep the books.46. Why did Ron Mackie leave school at sixteen?A. His father made him leave.B. He had reached the age when he had to leave.C. He left because he was worried about the future.D. He left because he wanted to start work.47. What did Ron’s father think about his leaving school?A. He thought his son was doing the right thing.B. He advised him to stay at school to complete his education.C. He did not like the idea, but he helped Ron to find work.D. He knew there was a job for every boy who wanted one.48. It took about a year for Ron to realize that _____________.A. he worked well because he was interested in the job.B. his work at the supermarket was dull.C. being at work was much better than going to school.D. the stone manager wanted to get rid of him.49. Why did Ron leave the supermarket?A. He knew he would find work in Bournemouth.B. he took a job as a lorry driver.C. he gave up the job because he felt unwell.D. he wanted to work at the seaside.50. Ron was able to take over the shoe shop because _____________.A. he got on well with the manager there.B. he knew how to keep the accounts of the business.C. he had had experience of selling books.D. he was young and strong.Passage threeA strict vegetarian is a person who never in his life eats anything derived from animals. The main objection to vegetarianism（素食主义）on a long-term basis is the difficulty of getting enough protein—the body-building element in food. If you have ever been without meat or other animal foods for some days of weeks (say, for religious reasons) you will have notice that you tend to get physically rather weak. You are glad when the fast（禁食）is over and you get your reward of a delicious meat meal.Proteins are built up from about twenty food elements called “amino-acid” (氨基酸), which are found more abundantly in animal protein than in vegetable protein. This means you have to eat a great deal more vegetable than animal food in order to get enough of these amino-acids. A great deal of the vegetable food goes to waste in this process and from the physiological（生理学的）point of view there is not much to be said in favor of life-long vegetarianism.The economic side of the question, though, must be considered. Vegetable food is much cheaper than animal food. However, since only a small proportion of the vegetable protein is useful for body-building purposes, a consistent vegetarian, if he is to gain the necessary 70 grams (克) of protein a day, has to consume a great bulk of food than his digestive organs can comfortably deal with. In fairness, though, it must be pointed out that vegetarians claim they need far less than 70 grams of protein a day.51. A strict vegetarian _________________.A. rarely eats animal productsB. sometimes eats eggsC. never eats any animal productsD. never eats protein52. We feel weak when we go without meat and other animal products_________________.A. because we are reducing our food amountB. because we do not get enough proteinC. because vegetables do not contain proteinD. unless we take plenty of exercise53. Proteins are built up from _________________.A. about twenty different foodsB. about twenty different vegetablesC. various fats and sugarsD. about twenty different amino-acids54. Physiologically, life-long vegetarianism may not be good because_________________.A. it makes people very thinB. the body must process too much wasteC. the farmer lose moneyD. vitamin-deficiency diseases may result55. One thing in favor of vegetarianism is that __________________.A. vegetable food is easier to digestB. animal food is less expensiveC. vegetable food is cheaperD. it is good for the digestionPassage fourWe lost two superstars in 1977. Neither man’s admirers have been able to understand the success of the other one. And this tells us something of the difference between the generations that the two singers represent.There were similarities between Bing Crosby and Elvis Presley. Both reached fame while quite young and became very rich. Although neither one had any musical education, both developed their own musical styles — styles which were at first scorned by the critics and later studied as new forms in the art of popular song. Both men had successful movie careers despite a total lack of acting ability.Both were creations of the microphone, which made it possible for singers with weak voices to be heard beyond the third row. With Bing the microphone was usually hidden; but Elvis brought it to the stage, took it from its support, stroked it, pressed it to his lips.The difference between the two men reflects the changing values in American life. Crosby’s music was soothing; Presley’s was disturbing. Crosby was singing to wartime America. His audiences had all the disturbances they could handle in their private lives; they did not want to buy more at the record shop and the movie theater.Crosby’s admirers always said how “relaxed” he was, how “natural and easygoing.” When Presley began his career, the whole country had become relaxed and easygoing. Its young people, who had no memory of troubled times, found it boring. They were hungry for excitement. They welcomed Elvis, who was not soothing, and who was certainly not the kind of young man their parents would admire. Presley was loud, gaudy, and vulgar— and he was bringing something new and exciting.It is probably too simple to explain each man in terms of changes in the economic and political situation. Something in the culture was also changing. Crosby’s songs were saying something; their “message” was as important to the audience as the music. The words were often sweet and sentimental; ordinary, perhaps, but Crosby — and Frank Sinatra after him — gave them life and meaning. People remembered them, sang them, and thought of them as true to life. Although many of Presley’s songs were, in fact, quite sentimental too, it was mostly the song that moved the audiences. Rock’n’roll was a “sound” event. Songs stopped being songs and turned into noise.The Crosby generation has trouble with r ock’n’roll because it makes the mistake of trying to understand the words. The Presley generation has trouble with Crosby because it finds the music unexciting and the words empty. The mutuallack of understanding may be a sign of how far we have come from troubled times, and how deeply we now distrust the value of words.56. Crosby and Presley’s music was ___________________.A. criticized and then recognized as innovativeB. appreciated by the critics immediatelyC. praised by the critics and then studiedD. developed by the critics57. The difference between the two men ______________ the changing values inAmerican life.A. ruinsB. disturbsC. soothesD. mirrors58. Presley’s admirers found Crosby’s work _________________.A. boringB. easy-goingC. too relaxedD. natural59. “Rock’n’roll was a ‘sound’event” means r ock’n’roll was ____________.A. musicalB. movingC. noisyD. sentimental60. This passage is chiefly about ___________________.A. the troubled times that Crosby and Presley lived inB. the contrast between Presley’s and Crosby’s music and their audiencesC. wartime AmericaD. noisy r ock’n’roll新视野大学英语三级期末考试试卷(A) 考生注意：本试卷满分100分，考试时间120分钟 （试卷二）Directions : Translate the following English into Chinese, or Chinese into English. 61.

In fact, even though he was the first American man to ever win the downhill skiing event, many 26 him as a true Olympic hero. He was a rebellious kid who came from a troubled background, and he boasted too much. Moreover, he only became 27 in skiing because a judge sent him to a ski school after he had stolen a car at age 17. There was no lifelong 28 to the sport. He did not 29 the Olympic spirit. He did not gain distinction by continuously training for his event.Still, few failed to 30 his marvelous race in the 1984 Winter Olympic Games in Sarajevo. He was just a natural skier and his technique was 31 for the course. And so even before the race began, he was 32 victory. "This course was made for me. Nothing can stop me," he had boasted. He also caused some comments when he talked about the millions of dollars he would be able to make after he won the race. This made many skiers 33 toward him. That just 34 him even more. Then on the day of the event, he turned out the fastest. "It takes a lot of courage to throw yourself down a mountain," Bill Johnson 35 proudly after he won a gold medal for the United States. "Not many can do that."第 2 页 共 5 页 命题教师：刘艳茹 审核人：Ⅲ Read the following passages and choose the best answer. （2 points each ， 30 points in all ）Passage 1I'm beginning to wonder whether my grandmother isn't right when she complains, as she frequently does, that children nowadays aren't as well-mannered as they used to be. Whenever she gets the opportunity, she describes in detail how she used to be told to respect her elders and betters. She was taught to speak only when she was spoken to, and when she went out on her own, she was reminded to say "please" and "thank you". Children in her day, she continues, were expected to be seen and not heard, but these days you are lucky if you ever hear parents telling their children to mind their p's and q's.If you give her the chance she then takes out of her desk the old photograph album which she keeps there, and which she never tires of displaying. Of course when you look at pictures of her parents you feel sure that, with a father as hard-looking as that, you, too, would have been "seen and not heard". Beside him sits his wife, with their children around her: Granny and her elder brothers. It always occurs to me that perhaps those long, stiff, black clothes were very heavy to a little girl, that she hadn't enough breath left to talk, let alone bad. It must have been a dull and lonely life too, for she stayed mainly at home during her childhood, while her brothers were sent away to school from an early age.That said, my childhood was much freer than Granny's. I went to school with my brother, and I played football with him and his friends. We all spoke a common languageand we got up to the same trouble. I would have died if I had had to stay indoors, wear a tight frock (女式礼服), and sew.36. How can we understand "children in her day were expected to be seen and not heard"? A. Children were not supposed to be heard by others.B. Children were not supposed to hear their parents' conversation.C. Children were not supposed to speak in the face of others.D. Children were not supposed to speak until asked to do it.37. What is the expression of "mind their p's and q's" supposed to mean? A. To mind their own business. B. To remember to say "please". C. To remember to say "thank you". D. To be well-mannered.38. Which of the following words can be used to describe Granny's feelings of her own childhood? A. Lonely. B. Dull. C. Proud. D. Happy.39. How did the author feel about her Granny's childhood? A. Disappointed. B. Unbearable. C. Respectable. D. Indifferent.40. Why did Granny often complain about modern children's behavior? A. She missed those good old days. B. She was too harsh on children. C. She didn't like kids who talk a lot. D. She was not open to new things. Passage 2Time spent in a bookshop can be most pleasant, whether you are a book-lover or merely there to buy a book as a present. You may even have entered the shop just to find shelter from a sudden shower. Whatever the reason, you can soon become totally unaware of your surroundings. You soon focus on some book or other, and usually it is only much later that you realize you have spent too much time there and must hurry off to keep some forgotten appointment.This opportunity to escape the realities of everyday life is the main attraction of a bookshop. A music shop is very much like a bookshop. You can range round such places to your heart's content. If it is a good shop, no assistant will approach you with the greeting, "Can I help you?" You needn't buy anything you don't want. In a bookshop an assistant should remain in the background until you have finished reading. Then, and only then, are his services necessary.Once a medical student had to read a textbook which was far too expensive for him to buy. He couldn't obtain it from the library and the only copy he could find was in a bookshop. Every afternoon, therefore, he would go to the shop and read a little of the book at a time. One day, however, he was disappointed to find the book missing from its usual place. He was about to leave, when he noticed the owner of the shop making a gesture to him with his hand. Expecting to be scolded, he went towards him. To his surprise, the owner pointed to the book which was put away in a corner. "I put it there in case anyone had a desire to buy it!" he said, and left the delighted student to continue his reading. 41. Time spent in a bookshop can be most pleasant _______________. A. only when you can find the book you want to buy B. only when you are a book-loverC. even when you enter it to avoid a sudden showerD. even when you know you are late for an appointment42.

In a good bookshop __________. A. an assistant should always follow youB. an assistant should frequently approach you and offer helpC. you needn't buy anything you don't wantD. you can communicate freely with an assistant44. The medical student went to a bookshop every day _____________. A. to look for useful books B. to read a textbookC. to talk with the shop ownerD. to use the computer at the shop45. The owner of the bookshop put away the book ______________. A. in case other people wanted to buy itB. in case the medical student wanted to buy itC. because he wanted to sell it at a high priceD. because he wanted to keep it for himself Passage 3 Open or distance learning has had a major effect on higher education through the Open University, the only university to provide education exclusively for adult learners studying at a distance. Our 100,000 students are currently studying at the Open University. We found limited development of distance learning in the case studies, with the exceptionof some postgraduate and professional courses. Even here, however, there seemed to be limits on further growth because of the high costs involved in setting up new distance learning courses, as well as uncertainties of demand (particularly in terms of the perceived financial returns on study). One of the case study universities provided video facilities and visiting staff to a rural area for a group of undergraduate students about 50 miles away. This was a new development which was working well and likely to be expanded to involve other universities.The main reason for general lack of development of distance learning, especially at the undergraduate level, may be that other universities have been unable to afford the considerable set-up costs and student support facilities. As costs of technology come downthis might change. The Open Learning Foundation is developing connections between universities to set open learning approaches within existing programs of study and thus encourage their greater use. This is seen as likely to develop further in the future. 46. The Open University provides an education for _________________. A. students who do not like attending regular universitiesB. students who failed the College Entrance ExaminationC. students who are adults and away from a universityD. students who are limited in their ability to learn47. Among other things, the further growth of distance learning at postgraduate and professional levels is limited by ____________________. A. the high costs involved B. a low student demand C. a lack of educationD. the poor rural technology48. The attempt of one case study university to provide equipment and staff to a rural group of students _________. A. would be expanded B. did not work well C. might help learning D. could cost a lot49. The cost of setting up a distance learning program might change ______________. A. as new developments are made B. as more students take classes there C. as the Open University helps more D. as technology becomes cheaper50. The tone of this passage can best be described as ________________. A. discouraging B. encouraging C. persuasive D. scientificIV Translate the following sentences into Chinese.（10 points in all ）“We are slaves to nothing but the clock, ”it has been said . Time is treated as if it were something almost real. We budget it, save it, waste it, steal it, kill it, cut it, account for it; we also charge for it. It is a precious resource.

Reading ComprehensionPassage 1A wise man said, “Of the making of books there is no end.” There are millions of books in the world, and thousands of new books come out every year. It is no good hoping to read all these books. However hard we may try, we can read only a few. So we must be careful in deciding what to read, for there are bad books as well as books really worth reading. We may read good novels, but most of our readng should be serious —science, technology, lives of great men, history and so on. If we get into the habit of reading earniestly and with a purpose when we are young, we shall be grateful for it all our lives. For reading gives a man great pleasure, trains his mind, makes him think, and teaches him much.11. The wise man’s saying means that ________.A. books will continue coming out as time goes onB. books without an ending will go on being producedC. the making of some books has no endingD. making books has nothing to do with an end12. It is no good hoping to read all these books because _______.A. there are too many books to readB. reading some of the books is not good to usC. reading these books takes up too much timeD. a little learning is a dangerous thing13. We can read only a few of the books in the world ________.A. if we do not try reading books in some new wayB. because we are often not in the right habit of readingC. even if we try hard ot read few of themD. no matter how hard we may try to read all of them14. We must be careful in making up our minds about what we’ll read, for ________.A. bad books are as good as books worth readingB. there are some bad books worth readingC. there are too many bad books as well as books worth readingD. we should read only the good books not the bad ones15. We may read good novels but _________.A. we should read them thoroughly and criticallyB. we should read the most serious booksC. our reading should be most seriousD. we should read first of all serious booksPassage 2Poets, singers and musicians from across the globe gathered Wales to celebrate the tradition (传统)of storytelling.“It might seem strange that people still want to listen to instead of watching television, but this is an unusual art form whose time has come again,” said David Ambrose, director of Beyond the Border, an international storytelling festival (节) in Wales. “Some of the tales, like those of the Inuit from Canada, are thousands years old. So our storytellers have come from distant lands to connect us with the distance of tim e,” he said early this month.Two Inuit women, both in their mid 60s, are among the few remaining who can do throat singing, which has few words and much sound. Their art is governed by the cold of their surroundings, forcing them to say little but listen attentively. Ambrose started the festival in 1993, after several years of working with those reviving (coming back into use or existence) storytelling in Wales. “It came out of a group of people who wanted to reconnect with traditions and as all the Welsh are storytellers, it was in good hands here.” Ambrose said.16. Ambrose believes that the art of storytelling ________.A. will be more popular than TVB. will be popular againC. started in WalesD. are in the hands of some old people17. From the tales told by the Inuit, people can learn_______.A. about their life as early as thousands of years agoB. why they tell the stories in a throat singing wayC. how cold it has been where the Inuit liveD. how difficult it is to understand the Inuit18. According to the writer, which of the following is NOT true?A. Storytelling once stopped in Wales.B. Storytelling has a long history in Wales.C. Storytelling is always well received in Wales.D. Storytelling did not come back until 1993 in Wales.19. The underlined phrase “in good hands” m eans “______”.A. controlled by rich peopleB. grasped by good storytellersC. taken good care ofD. protected by kind people20. What’s “Beyond the Board” in Para 2?A. People will go across the board.B. People can go abroad.C. It’s an international storytelling festival in Wales.D. It’s nothing.Passage 3This is not the world we know. This world is controlled by computers. Men and women can be seen, but they are following orders given to them by machines. The machines were designed by mad scientists, but at some point even the mad scientists were taken over by their super-inventions (超级发明).Does this sound familiar? Y ou have probably read something like it in magazines or books, or seen it in a film. Why is it so popular? One of the reasons is that it reflects the fears of many people; fear of the unknown, fear of what is not understood or, at least, fear of something that is not completely understood.The fact is that every day it seems that computers take control of another area of our lives. Some factory jobs are now done by robots and the robots are controlled by computers. Our bank accounts are managed by computers. At the airport, our tickets are sold by a computer. Certainly, many of these operations are made more efficient by computers, but our admiration is sometimes mixed with unsafe feelings. And this lack of safety is caused by the fact that we do not know how computers do these things, and we really don’t know what they might do next.But we can find out how computers work, and once we understand them, we can use computers instead of worrying about being used by them. Today, there is a new generation of computer wizards (奇才) who know exactly how computers get things done. These young men and women, usually university students, are happy to sit for hours, sometimes for days, designing programs, not eating, not sleeping, but discovering what can be done by these wonderful slaves which they learned to control. These computer wizards have learned to use the computer and search for new tasks for their machines.21. We can know that the scientists who designed the machines ______A. are careless in their daily lifeB. are unkind and cruelC. are out of their mindD. have great abilities22. The reason why many people are afraid of computers is that ______.A. they don’t know anything about computersB. they haven’t really understood computersC. there are so many computer gamesD. computers are often down23. The author mentions computer wizards in order to point out that ______.A. computers can be controlled by manB. there should be more people devoted to computersC. only young people are interested in computersD. more time and energy is required to control computers24. This passage is probably written to suggest that ______.A. some day computers can deal with all human problemsB. computers can be used in place of traveling to our jobsC. people should not fear computersD. computer technology will not meet people’s needs in various situations25. The author’s attitude towards widely used computers is______.A. positiveB. anxiousC. worriedD. curiousPassage 4Sports fans all over the world recognize the name Michael Jordan. From Taiwan to Tennessee, kids wear clothes with his picture on them. Jerseys（球服）with his number 23 on the front, jackets with the Bulls logo（标志）on the back, and Air Jordan athletic shoes all reflect the fame of this superstar. Michael Jordan has become the most famous attraction of the world’s favorite spectator sport.Michael Jordan was born in 1963 in Brooklyn, New Y ork.

Reading Comprehension(40%)Directions:Read the following passages carefully and do the multiple-choice questions.Passage150,000 people work at Disney’s largest theme park, Walt Disney World in Qrlando, Florida. Do all of them like the job?One Disney worker explains how “cast members” are given jobs according to their age and appearance. For example: Young and pretty workers get jobs where they will interact a lot with customers; Anyone who might seem less “presentable” work on the night shift, from 11 p.m. to 7 a.m.Mike Cohen, a Disney worker and a trade union activist, says that most Disney workers don’t stay with the company for very long. “You can make $10 per hour if you are here for 10 years, but because so many people leave, two-thirds of the workers at the park make $6.57per hour or less. ”Disney has not increased its starting wage for 5 years. Disney claims that it offers “competitive” salaries. But Cohen doesn’t agree. Disney is planning to expand and will need about 10,000 new workers-but about 75% of the new jobs will also be low paid.Cohen is also unhappy about the way people have to work at Disney World. “ We have to push as many tourists through each side as we can. I’m supposed to handle 2,000 visitors an hour. It’s just like a factory with assembly-line production, only this is a fun factory. ” Cohen says that the most important thing for the company is the number of people who are processed through each side; if the number is too small, the management complains to the workers. But he says that you never hear the management ask, “Are being safe enough? ”Disney workers also have to smile all the time. Even when customers are rude (which happens every day ), the workers must keep smiling. Cohen says: “We are supposed to make eye contact, greet each and every guest and smile for eight hours. If you don’t, you get reprimanded (训斥).”He added he sometimes hears customers saying that the workers at Disney are not so happy as they used to be. He is not surprised: if someone isn’t paid enough, you don’t expect them to be happy.11. It can be inferred from the context that a “ cast member ” of Disney is it’s .A. security guardB. cookC. employeeD. shop assistant12. Disney World is the one of the American recreation resorts while many employees think .A.it’s so competitive working at Disney World.B.it’s so much fun working at Disney World.C.it’s no fun working at Disney World.D.it’s very dangerous working at Disney World.13. Which is Not mentioned as a disadvantage of the job at Disney World ?A. AccommodationB. SafetyC. PayD. Manner14. Which of the following is TRUE according to Mike Cohen ?A.He can’t understand why many Disney workers have giver up their jobs.B.Most Disney workers earn less than $10 for each hour.C.Disney workers are not encouraged to please those rude guests.D.Disney workers are supposed to give each customer a ride.15. The word “ presentable ” (Para. 2 ) probably means .A. good-lookingB. differentC. previousD. physicalPassage 2After-sales service and guarantee become an integral and essential part of a “good brand”on both local and regional levels, and the provision of such also produces solid ground for customer loyalty.Customers today are a lot more demanding than before. Being able to find after-sales service creates a feeling of convenience and a sense of responsibility from the manufacturer. This is very important to build customer loyalty and explains why more 24-hour hotline centers are available nowadays.Product guarantee is also one of the major factors when a potential customer decides to make a purchase. Whether this be in the form of a written guarantee or a guarantee based on reputation, the importance to the consumer is self-evident. A brand’s research & development, an unavoidable investment, usually back up safety guarantees for marketers nowadays. Product testing and refinement are conducted for both new and existing products. With the help of computerized machinery, quality control has achieved the highest level than ever before to enable consistency in production. For the consumer this means a quality of guarantee for that brand whether it be available at home or abroad.16.

More 24-hour hotline centers appear because ________.A. more and more customersdemand after-sales servicesB. there are more and more complaints from customersC. more companies come to realize the importance of after-sales services.D. they have become a new type of investment18.

Which is NOT mentioned concerning product guarantee?A. A brand’s research &development. B. Product testing and refinement.C. Quality control.D.

They can use their psychic ability to heal people who are sick, to give advice, to give hints about the future, and to do many other things. And it's not just individuals who use psychics; sometimes companies and governments use psychics, too. One year a company called Delphi and Associates earned $120,000 on the stock market with the help of psychics."So how can I get some psychic help?" you may ask yourself. Well, you don't have to pay a lot of money to a professional psychic. You can start by using your own psychic ability.Psychic abilities are really just another sense, similar to our other five senses. The difference is that we never develop our psychic sense in the same way that we develop our other senses. We train our eyes to see the difference between a V and a U; we train our ears to hear the difference between a /ch/ and a /sh/ sound; we can feel the difference between silk and leather; we can smell and taste if milk is sour. But our sixth sense, our psychic sense, seldom develops very much. Because most of us ignore our psychic sense for so long, it takes some time to develop it. If you have never played soccer before, you cannot expect to be a good player after three lessons. It might take years to become really good. Psychic ability works the same way.21. People use psychics ________.A. mainly to see the futureB. to make moneyC. to see what one cannot usually seeD. for many reasons22. ________ learn to use their psychic abilityA. Many peopleB. Many companiesC. Few peopleD. Few governments23. Psychic abilities ________.A. are similar to other sensesB. work in the same way as other sensesC. are different from other sensesD. work together with other senses24. Our psychic sense seldom develops very much because ________.A. we never use itB. we never believe in itC. we ignore itD. we don't want to take time to train it25. The attitude of the author towards psychic abilities is ________.A. positiveB. ironicalC. criticalD. neutralPassage 4It is not often realized that women held a high place in southern European societies in the 10th and 11th centuries. As a wife, the woman was protected by the setting up of a dowry（嫁妆）or decimum. Admittedly, the purpose of this was to protect her against the risk of being abandoned, but in reality its function in the social and family life of the time was much more important. The decimum was the wife's right to receive a tenth of all her husband's property.The wife had the right to hold back consent, in all transactions（交易）the husband would make. And more than just a right: the documents show that she enjoyed a real power of decision, equal to that of her husband. In no case do the documents indicate any degree of difference in the legal status of husband and wife.The wife shared in the management of her husband's personal property, but the opposite was not always true. Women seemed perfectly prepared to defend their own inheritance against husbands who tried to exceed their rights, and on occasion they showed a fine fighting spirit. A case in point is that of Maria Vivas, a Catalan woman of Barcelona. Having agreed with her husband Miro to sell a field she had inherited, for the needs of the household, she insisted on compensation（赔偿）. None being offered, she succeeded in dragging her husband to the official in charge to have a contract duly drawn up assigning her a piece of land from Miro's personal inheritance. The unfortunate husband was obliged to agree, as the contract says, "for the sake of peace." Either through the dowry or through being hot-tempered, the Catalan wife knew how to win herself, within the context of the family, a powerful economic position.26. A decimum was ________.A. the wife's inheritance from her fatherB. a gift of money to the new husbandC. a written contractD. the wife's right to receive one-tenth of her husband's property27. In the society described in the passage, the legal standing of the wife in marriage was________.A. higher than that of her husbandB. lower than that of her husbandC. the same as that of her husbandD. higher than that of a single woman28. What compensation did Maria Vivas get for the field?A. Some of the land Miro had inherited.B. A tenth of Miro's landC. Money for household expenses.D. Money from Miro's inheritance.29. Could a husband sell his wife's inheritance?A. No, under no circumstances.B. Yes, whenever he wished to.C. Yes, if she agreed.D. Yes, if his father-in-law agreed.30. Which of the following is NOT mentioned as an effect of the dowry system?A. The husband had to share the power of decision in marriage.B. The wife was protected from being abandoned.C. The wife gained a powerful economic position.D. The husband was given control over his wife's property.Part III.

Reading prehension(阅读理解：每题选择一个最佳选项)[A]This year some twenty-three hundred teen-agers(young people aged from 13-19)from all over the world will spend about ten months in U. S. homes. They will attend U. S. schools, meet U. S. teen-agers, and form impressions of the real America. At the same time, about thirteen hundred American teen-agers will go to other countries to learn new languages and gain a new understanding of the rest of the world.Here is a two-way student exchange(交换)in action. Fred, nineteen, spent last year in Germany with George's family. In turn, George’s son Mike spent a year in Fred's home in America.Fred, a lively young man, knew little German when he arrived, but after two months' study, the language began to e to him. School was pletely different from what he had expected-much harder. Students rose respectfully when the teacher entered the room. They took fourteen subjects instead of the six that are usual in the United States. There were almost no outside activities(活动).Family life, too, was different. The father's word was law, and all activities were around the family rather than the individual(个人). Fred found the food too simple at first. Also, he missed having a car."Back home, you pick up some friends in a car and go out and have a good time. In Germany, you walk, but you soon learn to like it."At the same time, in America, Mike, a friendly German boy, was also forming his idea. "I suppose I should criticize(批评)American schools", he says. "It is far too easy by our level. But I have to say that I like it very much. In Germany we do nothing but study. Here we take part in many outside activities. I think that maybe you schools are better in training for citizens(公民). There ought to be some middle ground between the two. "1. This year _____ teen-agers will take part in the exchange program between America and other countries.A. twenty three hundredB. thirteen hundredC. over three thousandD. less than two thousand2. The whole exchange program is mainly to _____ .A. help teen-agers in other countries know the real America.B. send students in America to travel in GermanyC. let students learn something about other countriesD. have teen-agers learn new languages3. Fred and Mike agreed that _____ .A. American food tasted better than German foodB. German schools were harder than American schoolsC. Americans and Germans were both friendlyD. There were more cars on the streets in America4. What is particular in American schools is that _____ .A. there is some middle ground between the two teaching buildingsB. there are a lot of after-school activitiesC. students usually take fourteen subjects in allD. students go outside to enjoy themselves in a car5. After experiencing the American school life, Mike thought _____ .A. a better education should include something good from both America and GermanyB. German schools trained students to be better citizensC. American schools were not as good as German schoolsD. the easy life in the American school was more helpful to students[B]In order to learn a foreign language well, it is necessary to overe the fear of making mistakes. If the primary goal of language use is munication, the mistakes are secondary considerations that may be dealt with gradually as awareness of those mistakes increases. On the other hand, students should not ignore their mistakes. The language learner may observe how native speakers express themselves, and how nativeexpressions differ from the way the learner might say them. For example, a Spanish speaker who has been saying " I do it" to express willingness to do something in the immediate future, but, by interacting with native speakers of English, you may observe that native speakers actually say "I'll do it." The resulting discrepancy(差异) can serve as a basis for the student to modify his way of using the present tense in English. But a student who is unwilling to interact in the first place would lose this opportunity to learn by trial and error.6. According to the passage, foreign language students should not worry too much about making mistakes because ___________.A. native speakers will ignore their mistakesB. munication is the primary goal of language learningC. everyone makes mistakes when trying to municate in a strange languageD. native speakers like foreign students who try to learn their language7.

The author thinks that language learners can reduce the number of their mistakes by ___________.A. asking native speakers for explanationsB. reading good books in the foreign languageC. paring their speech with that of native speakersD. speaking without regard to native speakers9. The passage implies that foreign students who do not interact with native speakers will not ___________.A. learn very much about the foreign cultureB. learn about the history of the foreign languageC. have to worry about making mistakesD. take advantage of available language models10. The author's major conclusion about the function of mistakes in foreign language learning is that___________.A. mistake are not important in the process of learning a languageB. learners are often very afraid of making mistakesC. making mistakes can help the learner discover the rules of the languageD. mistakes do not interfere with munication[C]After a busy day of work and play, the body needs to rest. Sleep is necessary for good health. During this time, the body recovers from the activities of the previous day. The rest that you get while sleeping enables your body to prepare itself for the next day.There are four levels of sleep, each being a little deeper than the one before. As you sleep, your muscles relax little by little. Your heart beats more slowly, and your brain slows down. After you reach the fourth level, your body shifts back and forth（来回地）from one level of sleep to the other.Although your mind slows down, from time to time you will dream. Scientists who study sleep state that when dreaming occurs, your eyeballs begin to move more quickly (although your eyelids are closed). This stage of sleep is called REM, which stands for rapid eye movement.If you have trouble falling asleep, some people remend breathing very slowly and very deeply. Other people believe that drinking warm milk will help make you drowsy（昏昏欲睡的）. There is also an old suggestion that counting sheep will put you to sleep!11.

What happens when his space requirements are not adequately met? Sociologists and psychologists are conducting experiments on rats to try to determine the effects of overcrowded conditions on man. Recent studies have shown that the behavior of rats is greatly affected by space. If rats have adequate living space, they eat well, sleep well, and reproduce well. However, if their living conditions bee too crowded, their behavior patterns and even their health perceptibly(可感知地) change. They cannot sleep and eat well, and signs of fear and tension bee obvious. The more crowed they are, the more they tend to bite each other and even kill each other. Thus for rats, population and violence are directly related. Is this a natural law for human society as well? Is adequate space not only desirable, but essential for human survival?16. This passage is mainly about _________.A. living space and behaviorB. population and living conditionsC. interesting experiments on ratsD. a natural law for human society17.

There are still many families without cars, but some families have two or ever more. However, cars are used for more than pleasure. There are a necessary part of life.Cars are used for business. They are driven to offices and factories by workers who have no other way to get to their jobs. When salesmen are sent to different parts of the city, they have to drive in order to carry their products. Farmers have to drive into the city in order to get supplies.Sometimes small children must be driven to school. In some cities school buses are provided only when children live more than a mile from the school. When the children are too young to walk that far, their mothers take turn driving them to school. One mother drives on Monday, taking her own children and the neighbors' children as well. Another mother drives on Tuesday, another on Wednesday, and so on. This is called forming a car poll. Men also form car pools, with three or four men taking turns driving to the place where they all work.More car pools should be formed in order to put fewer automobiles on the road and to use less gasoline. Parking is great problem, and so is the traffic in and around cities. Too many cars are being driven. Something will have to be done about the use of cars.21.

Some families still do not have their own cars.[F]A four-year study conducted by the Infant(婴儿) Testing Center in San Francisco, California, suggests that babies feel more fortable around other babies than with strange adults. According to the study, babies benefit by being with their fellow infants daily. Whereas a baby might show fear of an adult stranger, he is likely to smile and reach out for an unfamiliar infant. By the time babies are one year old, they have begun to form friendships of a sort.The above findings, based on observation of 100 babies aged three months to three years, might prove interesting to working parents who must find day care for their babies. Family care in a private home, with several babies together, is probably the idea way to care for babies under three. Dr. Benjamin Spock, well-known pediatrician(儿科医生) and author of books about babies, supports the idea. He says that family day care is better in theory than hiring a housekeeper or a babysitter.11.

The author is talking to _________.A. working parentsB. researchers on infantsC. pediatriciansD. babies under three[G]It is a matter of mon observation that although ines keep going up over the years, people never seem to bee much better off! Prices are rising continuously. This condition is termed one of inflation; the money supply is being inflated so that each unit of it bees less valuable. People have grown accustomed in recent years to higher and higher rates of inflation. What could be bought ten years ago for one dollar now costs well over two dollars. Present indications are that this rate of inflation is tending to rise rather than to fall. If in the real world our money ines go up at the same rate as prices one might think that inflation does not matter. But it does. When money is losing value it lacks one of the qualities of a good money - stability of value. It is no longer acceptable as a store of value; and it bees an unsuitable standard of deferred(延迟)payments. Nobody wants to hold a wasting asset(资产), so people try to get rid of money as quickly as possible. Inflation therefore stimulates consumer spending, and prevents people from saving.21. Inflation is a situation in which __________.A. we find our money increase in its valueB. employment no longer bees a problemC. people can always find better paying jobsD. money keeps losing its value22. According to the author, inflation __________.A. seldom happensB. is very mon at the present timeC. has bee rare in recent yearsD. is just reasonable23. According to the passage, if ines and prices rise together __________.A. money will hold its valueB. inflation poses no problemC. inflation will remain to be a problemD. the business will prosper24. When money loses its value __________.A. its rate against gold will be kept at the same levelB. it is no longer stableC. goods will lose their valueD. ines will keep rising25. In a period of inflation, people are likely to __________.A. invest heavily on the stock marketB. save moneyC. hold on to money as a dependable assetD. spend money and not bother(烦恼) to save[H]Sports and games make our bodies strong, prevent us from getting too fat, and keep us healthy. But these are not their only use. They give us valuable practice in making eyes, brain and muscles work together. In tennis, our eyes see the ball ing, judge its speed and direction and pass this information on to the brain. The brain then has to decide what to do, and to send its orders to the muscles of the arms, legs, and so on, so that the ball is met and hit back where it ought to go. All this must happen with very great speed, and only those who have had a lot of practice at tennis can carry out this plicated chain of events successfully. For those who work with their brains most of the day, the practice of such skills is especially useful.Sports and games are also very useful for character training. In their lessons at school, boys and girls may learn about such virtues as unselfishness, courage, discipline and love of one's country; but what is learned in books cannot have the same deep effect on a child's character as what is learned by experience. The ordinary day-school cannot give much practical training in living, because most of the pupil's time is spent in classes, studying lessons. So it is what the pupils do in their spare time that really prepares them to take their place in society as citizens when they grow up. If each of them learns to work for his society as citizens when they grow up. If each of them learns to work for his team and not for himself on the football field, he will later find it natural to work for the good of his country instead of only for his own benefit.26. When we play tennis we have to _________.A. use, first, our eyes, then the brain and finally the musclesB. make our eyes, brain and muscles work almost at the same timeC. use mainly the arms and legs to hitD. use mainly the muscles so that the ball is met and hit back27.

All of the above29. According to the author, a child's character can be most deeply influenced by _________.A. what he does out of classB. what he learns in booksC. his place in societyD. his lessons at school30. What is of the greatest importance to a football team isA. its membersB. its team workC. the football fieldD. the climate[I]My formula for staying young is simple: concentrate on the part of you that's young and growing - your brain. Keep your mind awake and you'll stay young all over. These are exciting times. Take an interest in the world around you, and make a point of learning at least one new thing every day.Regardless of your age, it's not too late to make your life more interesting. I know a housewife with no previous knowledge who made herself into an outstanding industrial designer; I know a retired electrical engineer who has bee a highly paid ceramic artist.Get over the notion that you are ever too old to go back to school. I know a man who entered medical college at 70. He got his degree with honors and became an eminent physician. Another man went to law school at 71 and his now an active lawyer.In spite of years, staying young is easy for those who live in the future. You can do it if you care enough to try. Keep your mind awake and active; that's the only youth elixir(万灵药) guaranteed to work.31. The statement that our brain remains young and growing regardless of age is __________.A. an impossibilityB. a scientific factC. a suppositionD. a ridiculous conclusion32.

Translation(翻译：把下列英文翻译成汉语)[A]When I was growing up, I was embarrassed to be seen with my father. He was severely crippled and very short, and when we walked together, his hand on my arm for balance, people would stare. I would inwardly struggle at the unwanted attention. If he ever noticed or was bothered, he never let on. It was difficult to coordinate our steps---his halting, mine impatient---and because of that, we didn’t say much as we went along. But as we started out, he always said, “You set the pace, I will try to adjust to you.”[B]Alone now, the widow reads considerably. She used to underline favorite passages to share with her husband. Now, in a notebook, she stores quotations like this one from Elizabeth Jolley’s Cabin Fever: “I experience again the deep-felt wish to be part of a married couple, to sit by the fire in winter withthe man who is my husband. So intense is this wish that if I write the word husband on a piece of paper, my eyes fill with tears.”。
