Paper I

Part I Reading Comprehension (20 %)

Directions: There are 2 passages in this part. Each passage is followed by some questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. You should decide on the best choice and write the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet.

Passage 1

Co-operation means working together for the benefit of all. Without co-operation modern society could not exist. Co-operation has been at its best among the farmers in the dry areas of certain parts of Australia and Africa. The fields have to be watered in these areas because crops can not be grown without water. For this purpose, canals and reservoirs (水库)have been built. The canals have been cut through the fields of not only one farmer. Those who live higher up the valley than the others have permitted canals to be built through their land in order to carry water to the fields of farmers lower down. When there is a long period without rain, all share the water. Instead of taking all the water for themselves, the farmers in the higher land leave enough water for their neighbors down the valley. Farming in the dry areas has been made possible by such co-operation. By co-cooperation farmers have learned to make even the desert produce crops.

1.Co-operation means ________.

A.working for others

B.working for oneself

C.working together for the interests of all

D.working together for the benefit of the whole country

2. A reservoir is used ______

A.to keep the fields wet

B.to store water

C.to prevent farmers from getting water

D.to join canals

3.In dry weather the farmers who live higher up the valley ________.

A.share the water with their neighbors.

B.Keep all the water for themselves

C.Build canals across the fields of other farmers

D.Work hard to store water

4.Crops can be produced in the desert ______.

A.by co-operation

B.without being watered

C.by building canals

D.both A and B

5.Farmers have dug the canals through _______.

A.the fields of more than one farmer

B.the fields of only one farmer

C.the desert

D.the valley

passage 2

―I am on a diet.‖‖My overweight is killing me.‖ Do these phrases sound familiar? They’re said time and time again by young girls, who are constantly being pressured to look ―perfect‖. But what makes a person ―perfect‖?

I’d say that a perfect person is someone who is happy and confident, though our society and the media seem to think differently.

Everywhere you look, you see ―perfect‖images of what young girls should be. We’re shown images of perfect skin, perfect teeth, silky hair and a gorgeous (极好的) figure. And yet the same magazines and television shows disagree with themselves by telling us that size 16 is normal.

The media put famous people under even more pressure, expecting far too much from them. Calista Flockhart, who plays Ally Mcbeal, is accused of being too thin, while Jennifer Lopez and Christina Ricci are told they are overweight. The press makes impossible demands on famous people, and then they attack them when they fail to live up to them.

They say that being thin will improve your self-esteem(自尊心), and suggest numerous diets. I wonder just how many people feel as though their self-esteem is actually being eaten away by hundreds of smooth photographs they publish of perfect, air-brushed models.

None of us is perfect, and trying to be perfect just leaves you feeling bad about yourself.

6.What does the author think is the reason for young girls to try to look ―perfect‖?

A.They enjoy doing so.

B.They want to show off.

C.They are under pressure.

D.They are improving their life.

7.Which of the following has something to do with the statement ―Size 16 is normal‖?

A.Perfect skin.

B.Perfect teeth.

C.Silky hair.

D.Gorgeous figure.

8.Why does the author think famous people are under even more pressure?

A.Because they are expected too much by the public.

B.Because they are expecting too much from life.

C.Because they are expecting too much from people.

D.Because they are expected too much by the media.

9.Three famous people are mentioned to show _________.

A.how particular the media are about public figures for their image.

B.How influential they can be on the general public.

C.How miserable they can be to the general public.

D.How important their image can be for the general public.

10.The expression ―eaten away‖ in para.5 is similar in meaning to which of the following?

A.increased

B.reduced

C.ignored

D.emphasized

作文翻译 Unit 1 李明是学化学的，性格开朗幽默，颇有魅力，但英语成绩不佳，每次只能勉强及格。老师警告他，英语不好会阻碍他拿奖学金，并亮出了自己的王牌：如果李明不努力，就让他考试不过关。老师还告诉他，学习英语不能只为了文凭，否则他即使大学毕业，也还是个半文盲。李明虽然保持镇定，但他明白，他的学业生涯正在攸关之际，必须安心下来埋头学习，坚持不懈。 Li Ming was a chemistry major, a charmer noted for his easygoing and humorous temperament. However, his English was so poor that he always barely got by. The teacher admonished him that his poor English would be an impediment to scholarship. What’s more, she showed her trump card: if Li Ming did not work hard. She would flunk him. He was also told that he should not learn English merely for the sake of his diploma. otherwise, even after graduation from university, he would still be semiliterate. Although Li Ming did not lose his composure, he was well aware that he had to settle down to work and follow through because his academic life was at stake. Unit2 我的朋友琳达接受过良好的教育，既美丽又端庄，三十好几依然没有人向她求婚。究其原因，她的事业心极强，整日扑在工作上，每天来往于住处和公司之间，根本没有时间和异性交往。一想到女儿这么大了还单身一人，她父母就焦虑不安。他们不知道该如何是好，甚至还去咨询一些社会学专家。但是事情在上个月出现了转机，公司的总部调琳达到培训部。在新的工作岗位上，琳达遇到了第一个触动她心弦的男人。从此，他们几乎每天约会，琳达意识到她会不顾一切地爱这个男人。决定嫁人的时候，她告诉了我这个好消息。虽然琳达的爱情让人想起电影中才会有的浪漫故事，我也担忧未来究竟会怎样，但我还是表达了我由衷的祝福，并爽快答应在婚礼那天做他们的伴娘和伴郎随从中的一员。 Linda, my good friend, has received good education and is both beautiful and elegant. She was not proposed to even when she was well over thirty. The reason is that she, as a career –oriented woman, is devoted to her work. Navigating between home and the company, she had hardly any time to socialize with people of the opposite sex. Her parents were gripped by anxiety at the thought of their daughter still remaining single at such an age. They did not know what to do and even consulted with some sociologists. But the situation began to change last month, when the headquarters of the company transferred Linda to the training department. On the new post, Linda met a man who tugged on her heartstrings for the first time. Ever since then, they dated virtually on a daily basis, and Linda realized that she would love the man beyond all reason. When she decided to take the matrimonial plunge, she informed me. Though Linda’s love is reminiscent of the romance that we see only in movies and I don’t know what the future will hold for her, I give her my heart-felt wishes and agree readily to be a member of the entourage of bridesmaids and groomsmen.

Think again. Leasing can end up being just as expensive as buying. Most people think about leasing because they believe it will cost them less money. They're right-it is cheaper, but only in the short term. For example, if you were to lease anew Subaru Forester, you might pay $300 per month for the car. If you were to buy the same car, you would pay about $400 per month. Over a three-year, you would save $3600-a big savings. But after your lease is over, you have to give the car back. Many people want to lease because they can drive a more expensive car than they might otherwise be able to afford. For example, if you spend $300 monthly on a car, you might be able to lease a new Ford Explorer. For the same price, you might have to buy a used Explorer, or buy a new but much less expensive model. A lease，therefore，allows you to drive the latest models of more expensive cars. However, whatever car you can afford to buy you get to keep it, and it will always have a resell or trade-in(以新旧换)value if you want to upgrade to a new car later. Furthermore, people who lease cars are often shocked by how much they must pay when the lease is over . Most leases limit you to a certain number of miles. If you go over that, you must pay for each mile. As a result, you may end up paying thousands of dollars in mileage(里程) fees. In addition, when you lease ,you have to pay for regular maintenance and repairs to the vehicle. Since you must return the car finally, you are paying to repair someone else's car.

基础综合英语课文翻译

基础综合英语课文翻译导语：《基础综合英语》综合听说读写四个方面。每单元前半部分涉及听说技能，而后半部分突出读写技能。这四种技能都围绕同一主题展开，相互补充，协同提高。下面是由的关于基础综合英语课文第一单元部分课文的翻译。欢迎阅读！对F的赞美今年将有好几万的十八岁青年毕业，他们都将被授予毫无意义的文凭。这些文凭看上去跟颁发给比他们幸运的同班同学的文凭没什么两样。只有当雇主发现这些毕业生是半文盲时，文凭的效力才会被质疑。最后，少数幸运者会进入教育维修车间——成人识字课程，我教的一门关于基础语法和写作的课程就属于这种性质。在教育维修车间里，高中毕业生和高中辍学生将学习他们本该在学校就学好的技能，以获得同等学历毕业证书。他们还将发现他们被我们的教育体系欺骗了。在我教课的过程中，我对我们的学校教育深有了解。在每学期开始的时候，我会让我的学生写一下他们在学校的不快体验。这种时候学生不会有任何写作障碍！我希望有人能让我停止吸毒，让我学习。我喜欢参加派对，似乎没人在意。我是一个好孩子，不会制造任何麻烦，于是他们就让我考试通过，即使我阅读不好，也不会写作。很多诸如此类的抱怨。

我基本是一个空想社会改良家，在教这门课之前，我将孩子们的学力能力差归咎于毒品、离婚和其它妨碍注意力集中的东西，要想学习好就必须集中注意力。但是，我每一次走进教室都会再度发现，一个老师在期望学生全神贯注之前，他必须先吸引学生的注意力，无论附近有什么分散注意力的东西。要做到这点，有很多种办法，它们与教学风格有很大的关系。然而，单靠风格无法起效，有另一个办法可以显示谁是在教室里掌握胜局的人。这个办法就是亮出失败的王牌。我永远也忘不了一位老师亮出那张王牌以吸引我的一个孩子的注意。我的小儿子是个世界级的万人迷，学习不怎么动脑筋却总能蒙混过关，直到施蒂夫特夫人当了他的老师，这种局面才彻底改变了。当她教我儿子英语时，我儿子是一个高中高年级学生。他坐在后排和他的朋友说话。她告诉我。你为什么不把他换到前排来？我恳求道，我相信令他难堪的做法会让他安心学习。史蒂夫特夫人从眼镜上方冷冷地看着我。我不会换高年级学生的座位。她说，我会给他们不及格的成绩。我大感紧张。我们儿子的学习生涯在我的眼前闪现。之前，没有老师以此威胁过他。我恢复镇定，艰难地表示我认为她是对的。到家时，我对此感觉良好。目前这是一种激进的做法，但是，嗯，为什么不这么做呢？她要给你不及格。我告诉我的儿我没有再多说什么。突然英语就在他的生活中成了头等大事。他期末得了一个A。我知道一个例子不能说明问题，但我在夜校中看见了一群愤怒、怨恨的学生，他们愤恨的原因是学校让他们一路混，直到他们甚至都无法再假装跟得上。这些学生智力水平至少也算中等，但最终都退学
