The bag contained a book.This chance discovery ended a 12-day search by the Library Company of Philadelphia for a historical treasure-a 120-page diary kept 190 years age by Deborah Logan,"a woman who knew everybody in her day,"James Green ,the librarian told the magazine American Libraries.Most of the diary is a record of big events in Philadelphia ,It also includes a description of British soldiers burning Washington .D. C in the war of 1812.She describes President James Madison on horseback as "perfectly shaking with fear"during the troubled days.George Wash- ington,she writes,mistook her for the wife of a French man.and praised her excellent English ．The adventure of the lost book began September 4 when Cory Luxmoore arrived from Eng- land to deliver the diary of his ancestor(祖先）to the Library Company,which he and his wifeconsidered to be the best home for the diary.Green told American Libraries he had the diary in his possession"a bout five minutes"when Luxmoore took it back because he had promised to show it to one other person.On returning to his hotel after showing the percious book to Green,Luxmoore waas shocked to realise that he had left it in the taxi.Without any delay,Green began calling every taxi company in the city,with no luck,"I've felt sick since then,"Luxmoore told reporters.According to Green.no one has yet learned how the diary came to the office building .Tom Brennan received a reward(奖励)of 1,000,Philadelphia gained another treasure for its histo- ry,and Luxmoore told reporters,"It's wonderful news.I'm on high".51.This article mainly tells about the story of ＿＿＿＿＿A.a lost diaryB.Deborah LoganC.Cory LuxmooreD.the Library Company52.From the text,we learn that the diary is now owned by＿＿＿＿＿A.Tom BrennanB.an unknown personC.a Philadelphia magazineD.the Library Company of Philadelphia53.Philadelphia is thought to be the best home for the diary because＿＿＿＿＿.A.it was written in PhiladelphiaB.it tells stories about PhiladelphiaC.people in the city are interested in old thingsD.the British and the Americans once fought in Philadelphia54.Which of the following shows the right order of what happened to the diary?a-Tom Brennan found the book in an office building.b-The book was shown to James Green.c-Cory Luxmoore arrived from England.d-The book was left behind in a taxi.A.a.b.c.dB.c.b.d.aC.a.c.d.bD.c.a.b.d55.What did Cory Luxmoore mean when he said "I'm on high"?A.I'm richB.I'm famousC.I'm excitedD.I'm lucky.BComputer people talk a lot about the need for other people to become"computer-literate." But not all experts (专家) agree that this is a good idea.One ploneer,in particular,who disagrees is David Tebbutt,the founder of Computertown UK. Although many people see this as a successful attempt to bring people closer to the computer.David does not see it that way.He says that Computertown UK was formed for just the opposite reason,to bring computers to people and make them"people-literate."David Tebbutt thinks Computertowns are most successful when tied to a computer club but he insists there is an important difference between the two,The clubs are for people who have some computer knowledge already.This frightens away non-experts,who are happier going to Computertowns where there are computers for them to experiment on.with experts to encourage them and answer any questions they have,They are not told what to do.they find out.The computer experts have to learn not to tell people about computers.but have to be able to answer all questionspeople ask.People don't have to learn computer terms(术语), but the experts have to expla in plain language. The computers are becoming "peoPle-literate."56. Which of the following is David Tebbutt's ides on the relationship between people and computers?puter learning should be made easier.B.There should be more computer clubs for experts.C.People should work harder to master computer use.puters should be made cheaper so that people can afford them.57.We can infer from the text that "computer-lilerate" means＿＿＿＿＿A. being able to afford a computerB.being able to write computer programsC. working with the computer and finding out its valueD. understanding the computer and knowing how to use it58. The underlined word "it" in the second paragraph refers to the idea that Computertowns＿＿＿＿＿．A.help to set up more computer clubsB.bring people to learn to use computersC. bring more experts to work togetherD. help to sell computers to the public59.

"But. Dad. you can't be healthy if you're dead."Ded.in a hurry to get home before dark so he could go for a run. had forgotten to wear his safety belt-a mistake 75% of the US popuation make every day The big question is why.There have been many myths about safety belts ever since heir first appearance in cars some forty years ago. The following are three of the most common.Myth Number One:It's best to be "thrown clear"of a serious accident.Truth:Sorry, but any accident serious enongh to "throw you clear"is alsogoing to be serious enough to give you a very bad landing. And chances are you'll have traveled througb a windshield(挡风玻璃)or door to do it. Studies show that cbances of dying after a car accident are twenty-five times greater in cases where people are "thrown clear."Myth Number Two: Safety belts "trap" people in cars that are burning or sinking in water.Truth: Sorry again. but stndies show that people knocked unconscious(昏迷) due to not wearing safety belts have a greater chance of dying in these accidents People wearing safety belts are usually protected to the point of having a clear head to free themselves from such dangerous sinuaions. not to be trapped in them.Myth Nomber Three Safcty belts aren't needed at speeds of less than 30 miles per hourTruth: when two cars traveling at 30 mpb hit each other. an unbelted driver would meetthe windshield with a force equal to diving headfirst into the ground from a height of 10 meters. 62．why did Elizabeth say to her father.

Try your ben to save yourself in a car accident.C. Never forget to wear the safety belt while driving.D. Drive slowly while you're not wearing a safety belt.EWhen a group of children pelltelr siop a convercaiion wiih vou. saying:"We have io go to work now." you're ieft feelins suprised and ceriainlv uneasv. After all. this is the 1990s and the idea of children working is Juat unthinkable. That is. until you are told that they are all pupils of stage schools. and thai ibe "work" they go off to is to go on the stage in a theatre.Stage schools often acr as agencies (代理机构) to supply children for stage and television work. More worihy of ihe name `siage eckool. nre thase few p!aces where children auend full time. with a iraining for the theatre and a general educaiion.A visit to such school will leave you in no doubt that the children enjoy themselves. After alI. what lively children woudn"t settle {or snendins onlv half the day doing ordinary school work. and acting. singing or dancing their way through the other half of the day?Then of course these are time for the children to make a name and make a little money in some big shows. Some stage schools give their children too much professional work at such a young age. But the law is very tight on the amount they can do. Thase under 13 are limited to 40 days in the year; those over 13 do 80 days.The schools themselves admit that not all children will be successful in the profession for which they are being trained. So what happens to those who don't make it? While all the leading schools say they place great importance on children getting good siudy results. the lacis seem 'o augged ths is not alwaystbe case.67 Peeple would sipp feeling uneasy wben realisng that ibe ch]Idren tbey're ialking toA. aiiend a stage sehoo]B. are going to ibe theaireC. hsv. gor some work io doD. ]ove singlns and dancins68 In ihe wrier's opnion. a ged siage school shoud.A. preduco siar performersB. help pup;ls imnrove iheir siudy sk]1]sC. train pupils in Isnguage and periorming artsD. provide a guneral ofucation and siage irairting69."Professional work" as used in the next means＿＿＿＿＿．A．ordinary school workB．rooneyrnaking performancesC. siage oraining at schoolD. aciing. singing or dancing afier class70.

1999年全国英语专业四级试题及答案(1)

1999年全国英语专业四级试题及答案(1)Part Ⅵ READING COMPREHENSION ［30 MIN.］SECTION A READING COMPREHENSION ［25 MIN.］In this section there are four passages followed by questions or unfinished statements, each with four suggested answers marked A, B, C and D. Choose the one th at you think is the correct answer. Mark your choice on your answer sheet.TEXT ASurprisingly, no one knows how many children receive education in English hospitals, still less the content or quality of that education. Proper records are jus t not kept. We know that more than 850.000 children go through hospital each year, and that every child of school age has a legal right to continue to receive education while in hospital. We also know there is only one hospital teacher to every 1,000 children in hospital.Little wonder the latest survey concludes that the extent and type of hospital teaching available differ a great deal across the country. It is found that half the hospitals in England which admit children have no teacher. A further quarter have only a part-time teacher. The special children’s hospitals in major cities do best; general hospitals in the country and holiday areas are worst off.From this survey, one can estimate that fewer than one in five children have some contact with a hospital teacher-and that contact may be as little as two hour s a day.Most children interviewed were surprised to find a teacher in hospital at all. They had not been prepared for it by parents or their own school. If the re was a teacher they were much more likely to read books and do math or number work; without a teacher they would only play games.Reasons for hospital teaching range from preventing a child falling behind and m aintaining the habit of school to keeping a child occupied, and the latter is of ten all the teacher can do. The position and influence of many teachers was summ ed up when parents referred to them as “the library lady” or just “the helper”. Children tend to rely on concerned school friends to keep in touch with school w ork. Several parents spoke of requests for work being ignored or refused by the school. Once back at school children rarely get extra teaching, and are told to catch up as best they can.Many short-stay child-patients catch up quickly. But schools do very little to e ase the anxiety about falling behind expressed by many of the children interview ed.66．The author points out at the beginning that___.A. every child in hospital receives some teachingB. not enough is known about hospital teachingC. hospital teaching is of poor qualityD. the special children’s hospitals are worst off。

NMET 1998My Favorite SportMy favorite sport is football. I was a member of our school football team. We practise for three times every week and often watch football match on TV together. Play football not only makes us grow tall and strong but also give us a sense of fair play and team spirit. We must keep mind that we play for the team instead ourselves. Also, the sport teaches us the important of obedience (服从). Each player must obey captain, who is the leader of the team. And they must not break the rules too often if we want to win the game.NMET 1999The Problem with TelevisionNow I can’t watch much television but a few years ago I was used to watch it every night. I was often a little tired after a day’s work and watch TV demands very little effort. Unfortunate, there are too many people among my family. Some wanted to see the programme while others preferred another. I am happy with any programme but the others spent a lot time arguing and there was no way of settle the matter except by selling the TV set. Now someone at home reads instead.2000 春季Dear Peter,Thanks very much on inviting me to your birthday party on Sunday. I’d like very much come but had an examination on Monday morning. It is a very important exam but I can’t afford to fail it. I’ll spend all the who le weekend reading and prepare for it. So I’m really sorry that I won’t be able to come in this time. Hope you can understand. I’ll take this chance wish you wonderful time on your birthday. Happy birthday, Peter, and many happy return of the day!Yours, Li MingNMET 2000The day before the speech contest (比赛) English teacher talked to me. She said that she and my schoolmate all wished me success, but it didn’t matter that I would win or not. When I was in the stage the next day, I felt so nervous as I shook like a leaf. There were so many people present! Suddenly, I caught a sight of my English teacher in the crowd. She was smiling but nodding at me. I remembered her words and calm down. I did a good job and won the first prize. Now my picture and the prize is hanging in the library. Whenever I see them I will often think of my English teacher.2001年（全国卷II）Like most of my schoolmates. I have either brothers nor sisters, in any other words, I am an only child. My parents love me dearly of course and will do all they can make sure that I get a good education. They did not want me to do any work at family; they want me to devote all my time to my studies so that I’ll get good marks in all my subject. We may be one family and live under a same roof, but we do not seem to get much time to talk about together. It looks as if my parents treat me as a visitor and a guest. Do they really understand their own daughter? What things are in other homes, I wonder.2002年（全国卷II）Last week my parents and I took a two-day trip to Emei Mountain in Sichuan. As everyone knows. it’s famous mountain with all kinds of plants and animal. The weather was fine. It was about noon we arrived at the foot of themountain. The three of them were very excited. As we climbed the mountain, we fed monkeys, visiting temples and told stories. On the way I was busy taking picture since the scenery was so beautiful. The time passes quickly. Evening came down. We spent the night in a hotel at the top of the mountain. The food was expensive and the service was good.I was so tired that I fell asleep at the moment my head touched the pillow.2003年（全国卷II）When I first learned write in English, I ran into many difficulties. The main problem was in that I always thought in Chinese and tried to translate anything into English. My teacher advised me to keep my diary. I followed her and should put down 100 words or so each day. Soon I began to enjoy talk to myself on paper as I was learning to express me in simple English. One day I wrote a little story and showed to my teacher. she liked it very much and reads it to the class .All said the story was a good one . Their word were a great encouragement to me.2004年（全国卷II）Dear Ralph,I’m a newcomer here of a small town. I would describe myself as shy an d quietly.

Third, we should find ways to reuse the water using in washing, especially bath water for which is quite a lot, and that will save much water.Sincerely, Li Hua2013年新课标1I hardly remember my grandmother.

1999年高考阅读

1999年高考阅读ATom Brennan was working in a Philadelphia office building when he noticed a black bag. The bag contained a book.This chance discovery ended a 12-day search by the Library Company of Philadelphia for a historical treasure—a 120-page diary kept 190 years ago by Deborah Logan, “a woman who knew everybody in her day.” James Green, the librarian told the magazine American Libraries.Most of the diary is a record of big events in Philadelphia. It also includes a description of British soldiers burning Washington, D.C. in the war of 1812. She describes President James Madison on horseback as “perfectly shaking with fear” during the troubled days. George Washington, she writes, mistook her for the wife of a French man, and praised her excellent English.The adventure of the lost book began September 4 when Cory Luxmoore arrived from England to deliver the diary of his ancestor to the Library Company, which he and his wife considered to be the best home for the diary.Green told American Libraries he had the diary in his possession “about five minutes” when Luxmoore took it back because he had promised to show it to one other person. On returning to his hotel after showing the precious book to Green, Luxmoore was shocked to realize that he had left it in the taxi.Without any delay, Green began calling every taxi company in the city, with no luck. “I’ve felt sick since then,” Luxmoore told reporters.According to Green, no one has yet learned how the diary came to the office building. Tom Brennan received a reward of $1,000. Philadelphia gained another treasure for its history, and Luxmoore told reporters, “It’s wonderful news. I’m on high.”51. This article mainly tells about the story of _____.A. a lost diaryB. Deborah LoganC. Cory LuxmooreD. the Library Company52. From the text, we learn that the diary is now owned by _____.A.Tom BrennanB.an unknown personC. a Philadelphia magazineD.the Library Company of Philadelphia53. Philadelphia is thought to be the best home for the diary because _____.A.it was written in PhiladelphiaB.it tells stories about PhiladelphiaC.people in the city are interested in old thingsD.the British and the Americans once fought in Philadelphia54. Which of the following shows the right order of what happened to the diary?a - Tom Brennan found the book in an office building.b - The book was shown to James Green.c - Cory Luxmoore arrived from England.d - The book was left behind in a taxi.A. a, b, c, dB. c, b, d, aC. a, c, d, bD. c, a, b, d55. What did Cory Luxmoore mean when he said “I’m on high”?A. I’m rich.B. I’m famous.C. I’m excited.D. I’m lucky.BComputer people talk a lot about the need for other people to become “computer-literate.” But not all experts agree that this is a good idea.One Pioneer, in Particular, who disagrees is David Tebbutt, the founder of Computertown UK. Although many people see this as a successful attempt to bring people closer to the computer, David does not see it that way. He says that Computertown UK was formed for just the opposite reason, to bring computers to people and make them “people-literate.”David Tebbutt thinks Computertowns are most successful when tied to a computer club but he insists there is an important difference between the two. The clubs are for people who have some computer knowledge already. This frightens away non-experts, who are happier going to Computertowns where there are computers for them to experiment on, with experts to encourage them and answer any questions they have. They are not told what to do, they find out. The computer experts have to learn not to tell people about computers, but have to be able to answer all questions people ask. People don’t have to learn computer terms, but the experts have to explain in plain language. The computers are becoming “people-literate.”56. Which of the following is David Tebbutt’s idea on the relationship betweenpeople and computers?puter learning should be made easier.B.There should be more computer clubs for experts.C.People should work harder to master computer use.puters should be made cheaper so that people can afford them.57. We can infer from the text that “computer-literate” means _____.A.being able to afford a computerB.being able to write computer programsC.working with the computer and finding out its valueD.understanding the computer and knowing how to use it58. The underlined word “it”in the second paragraph refers to the idea thatComputertowns _____.A.help to set up more computer clubsB.bring people to learn to use computersC.bring more experts to work togetherD.help to sell computers to the public59. David Tebbutt started Computertown UK with the purpose of _____.A.making better use of computer expertsB.improving computer programsC.increasing computer salesD.popularizing computersCWant to save money when traveling by train? Here are some ways.Day ReturnsThis ticket can save you up to 45％on the standard fare. You have to travel after the rush hour period Mon.—Fri., but can travel at any time on Sat. or Sun.Big City SaversThese are special low-priced tickets on certain trains. You have to book in advance—at the latest by 16:00 the day before you travel. It’s first come, first served.Weekend ReturnsWeekend Returns are available for most journeys over 60 miles. Go on Fri., Sat. or Sun., and return the same weekend on Sat. or Sun., and save up to 35% on the standard fare.Monthly ReturnsThese are available for most journeys over 65 miles. Go any day and return within a month. Monthly returns save you up to 25% on the standard fare.Family RailcardFor ￡20 this railcard allows you to take a second adult and up to 4 children for only ￡3 each when you buy single or return tickets. You can travel as often as you like until the card becomes out of date.60. Which is the best ticket to buy if you live in London and want to go to a smalltown 80 miles away for four days?A. Big City Savers.B. Monthly Returns.C. Weekend Returns.D. Day Returns.61. A man bought himself a ticket of ￡15 and three tickets for his family with afamily railcard. How much did he pay?A. ￡44 .B. ￡29 .C. ￡24.D. ￡15.DMaybe ten-year-old Elizabeth put it best when she said to her father, “But, Dad, you can’t be healthy if you’re dead.”Dad, in a hurry to get home before dark so he could go for a run, had forgotten to wear his safety belt—a mistake 75% of the US population make every day. The big question is why.There have been many myths about safety belts ever since their first appearance in cars some forty years ago. The following are three of the most common.Myth Number One: It’s best to be“thrown clear” of a serious accident.Truth: Sorry, but any accident serious enough to “throw you clear”is alsogoing to be serious enough to give you a very bad landing. And chances are you’ll have traveled through a windshield or door to do it. Studies show that chances of dying after a car accident are twenty five times greater in cases where people are “thrown clear.”Myth Number Two: Safety belts “trap”people in cars that are burning or sinking in water.Truth: Sorry again, but studies show that people knocked unconscious due to not wearing safety belts have a greater chance of dying in these accidents. People wearing safety belts are usually protected to the point of having a clear head to free themselves from such dangerous situations, not to be trapped in them.Myth Number Three: Safety belts aren’t needed at speeds of less than 30 miles per hour.Truth: When two cars traveling at 30mph hit each other, an unbelted driver would meet the windshield with a force equal to diving headfirst into the ground from a height of 10 meters.62. Why did Elizabeth say to her father, “But, Dad, you can’t be healthy if you’redead”?A.He was driving at great speed.B.He was running across the street.C.He didn’t have his safety belt on.D.He didn’t take his medicine on time.63. The reason Father was in a hurry to get home was that he _____.A.wasn’t feeling very wellB.hated to drive in the darkC.wanted to take some exerciseD.didn’t want to be caught by the police64. According to the text, to be “thrown clear”of a serious accident is verydangerous because you _____.A.may be knocked down by other carsB.may get seriously hurt being thrown out of the carC.may find it impossible to get away from the seatD.may get caught in the car door65. Some people prefer to drive without wearing a safety belt because theybelieve _____.A.the belt prevents them from escaping in an accidentB.they will be unable to think clearly in an accidentC.they will be caught when help comesD.cars catch fire easily66. What is the advice given in the text?A.Never drive faster than 30 miles an hour.B.Try your best to save yourself in a car accident.C.Never forget to wear the safety belt while driving.D.Drive slowly while you’re not wearing a safety belt.EWhen a group of children politely stop a conversation with you, saying: “We have to go to work now,”you’re left feeling surprised and certainly uneasy. After all, this is the 1990s and the idea of children working is just unthinkable. That is, until you are told that they are all pupils of stage schools, and that the “work” they go off to is to go on the stage in a theatre.Stage schools often act as agencies to supply children for stage and television work. More worthy of the name “stage school”are those few places where children attend fulltime, with a training for the theatre and a general education.A visit to such schools will leave you in no doubt that the children enjoy themselves. After all, what lively children wouldn’t settle for spending only ha lf the day doing ordinary schoolwork, and acting, singing or dancing their way through the other half of the day?Then of course there are times for the children to make a name and make a little money in some big shows. Some stage schools give their children too much professional work at such a young age. But the law is very tight on the amount they can do. Those under 13 are limited to 40 days in the year; those over 13 do 80 days.The schools themselves admit that not all children will be successful in the profession for which they are being trained. So what happens to those who don’t make it? While all the leading schools say they place great importance on children getting good study results, the facts seem to suggest this is not always the case. 67. People would stop feeling uneasy when realizing that the children they’retalking to _____.A. attend a stage schoolB. are going to the theatreC. have got some work to doD. love singing and dancing68. In the writer’s opinion, a good stage school should _____.A.produce star performersB.help pupils improve their study skillsC.train pupils in language and performing artsD.provide a general education and stage training69. “Professional work” as used in the text means _____.A.ordinary school workB.money-making performancesC.stage training at schoolD.acting, singing or dancing after class70. Which of the following best describes how the writer feels about stageschools?A.He thinks highly of what they have to offer.B.He favors an early start in the training of performing arts.C.He feels uncomfortable about children putting on night shows.D.He doubts the standard of ordinary education they have reached.51—55 ADBBC 56—60 ADBDB 61—65 CCCBA 66—70 CADCD。

高考英语最难年份

如果说要从历年高考英语难度来看，那么1999年无疑是最难的一年。

当年考试难度之高，不仅让来考的学生们感到惊慌失措，就连出题者们自己也觉得难度过高，想要重新出卷。

首先是阅读理解部分，整体难度较高。

其中一篇关于工厂机器人的文章难度特别突出，在当时考生们的回忆中，被评为“阅读史上最难”。

除此之外，还有一篇文章讲述了一个人的故事，语言含蓄，让人阅读起来非常困难。

其次是完形填空，整体难度持续较高，难度系数也紧跟着阅读理解。

其中，一篇精彩的故事“Two hawks， one prey”（两只鹰、一份掠夺者）让许多考生被深深吸引，不过这篇故事并不容易理解，难度系数在整个试卷中是最高的。

最后就是作文部分，难度可以说是最高的了，主要是因为出题者要求考生写关于过去、现在、未来的变化和与之相关的问题，需要考生有很深的思考。

考生除了要有足够的词汇储备和文化素养外，还需要有良好的逻辑思维能力，在有限的时间里完成难度较高的作文任务。

因为1999年高考英语难度之大，一时间引起了广泛的讨论和争论，一些学者和教育专家甚至表示，考试难度之高，对学生是不公平的，别的年份的难度是相对公平的。

当年的试卷难度，不仅让广大高考生遇到了“心理落差”，也让不少家长叹息不已。

总之，1999年是历年高考英语难度最大的一年，不仅题目难度极高，而且难度变化也比较大。

虽然这份试卷对于很多考生而言是难度之大的一次考验，但正是如此的高难度才能够考验出优秀的英语学生，同时也体现了高考对于英语学科的重视。

历史的经验之后，教育者和出题者们有必要从不断反思中总结经验教训，不断探索适合中国高考英语语境的出题思路和方法。

Test time approaches and some students' thoughts turn to it.u You want something you carft get by behaving within the rules, and you want it badly enough youll do it regardless of any guilt or deep regret^ and yoiTre willing to run the risk of being caught.” Thafs how Ladd Wheeler, psychology professor at the University of Rochester in New York, defines cheating・Many experts believe cheating is on the rise・'“WeYe suffering a moral breakdown.M Pinkard says, K we5re seeing more of the kind of person who regards the world as a series of things to be dealt with. Whether to cheat depends on whether it's the person's interest u. He does, however, see less cheating among the youngest students・Richard Dienabier, Psychology（心理学）professor at the University of Nebraska in Lincoln, believes that society' s attitudes account for much of the increase in cheating."Twenty years age, if a person cheated in college, society said: That is extremely serious, you will be dropped for a term if not kicked out permanently,n he says, 'Sowadays, at the University of Nebraska, for example, it is the stated policy of the college of Arts and Sciences that if a student cheats on an exam, the stude nt must receive an “F on what he cheated on.

There is more life in it now than there ever was. But it seems that " Village life” is dead・ Gone for ever. It began to decline （衰］客）about a hundred years ago, when many girls left home to go into service in town many miles away, and men also left home in increasing number in search of a work, and home was where work was. There are still a number of people alive today who can remember. What u village life” meant the early years of the present century? It meant knowing and being known by everybody else in the village. It meant fin ding your entertai nment in the village of within walking distance of it. It meant housewives tied to the home all day and every day・ It meant going to bed early to save lamp —— oil and coal.Then came the First World War and the Second World War. After each war, new ideas, new attitudes, new trades and occupati ons were revealed to villagers ・ The long — established order of society was no Ion ger taken for granted. Electricity and the motorcar were steadily operating to make "village life” and u town life” almost alike. Now with the highly developed science and technology and high — level social welfare for all, there is no point whatever in talki ng any Ion ger about "village life ・“It is just life, and that a be 社er life.Finally, if we have any doubts about the future, or about the many changes, which we have seen in our lives, we have only to look in at the school playground any mid — morning; or see the children as they walk homeward in little groups. Obviously these children are better fed, better clothed, better educated, healthier, prettier and happier than any generation of children that ever before walked the village street.11. By saying that village is not dead, but “village life n is dead, the writer suggests that ____________A. those young people who talk of the village as being u dead n are wrongB the two statements are against each otherC. "village life” today is rathe r uninterestingD.

From the passage we can see that the writer's attitude to ward “village life” is______________A. positiveB. negativeC. neutralD. unclearPassage 4Questions 16 to 20 are based on the following passage・We all know that it is possible for ordinary people to make their on the equator （赤道），although often they may feel uncomfortably hot there. Millions do it. but as for the North Pole（北极）----- we that it is not only a dangerously cold place, but that people like you and me would find it quite impossible to live there. At the present time only the scientists and explorers can do so, and they use special equipment. Men had been traveling across and around the equator on wheels, on their feet or in ships for thousands of years; but only a few men, with great difficulty and in very recent time, have ever crossed the ice to the North Pole・ So it may surprise you to learn that, when traveling by air, it is really safer to fly over the North Pole than over the equator. Of course, this is not true about landings in the polar region （which passenger aeroplanes do not make）, but the weather, if we are flying at a height of 5,000 meters above the Pole, is a delight. At 4 000 meters and more above the earth you can always be that you will not see a cloud in the sky as far as the eye can reach. In the tropics （热带），on the other hand, you are not certain to keep clear of bad weather even at such heights as 18,000 or 20,000 meters. Aeroplanes can't climb as high or as quickly in cold air as in warm・Nor can clouds. In practice, this is an advantage to the aeroplane, which is already at a good height when it reaches the polar region and so does not need to climb, while at the same time cold air keeps the clouds down low.16. “Millions do it.” In this sentence H do it” refers to___________A. feeling uncomfortably hot on the equatorB. flying over the North PoleC・ flying over the equatorD. making homes on the equator17・ The polar region is _______A. a good place to land at by aeroplaneB. a good place to fly overC. a good place to fly overD. a good place to live in18.

Choose the best answer and mark the corresponding letter on the ANSWER SHEET with a single line through the center.Passage OneLateral thinking (迂回思维), first described by Edward de Bone in 1967, is just a few years older than Edward's son. You might imagine that Caspar was raised to be an adventurous thinker, but the de Bone was so famous, Caspar's parents worried that any time he would say something bright at school, his teachers mightsnap, "Where do you get that idea from?""We had to be careful and not overdo it." Edward admits. Now Caspar is at Oxford-which once looked unlikely because he is also slightly dyslexic (诵读困难). In fact, when he was applying to Oxford, none of his school teachers thought he had a chance. "So then we did several thinking sessions," his father says, "using my techniques and, when he went up for the exam, he did extremely well." Soon after, Edward de Bone decided to write his latest book, "Teach Your Child How to Think," in which he transforms the thinking skills he developed for brain-storming businessmen into informal exercises for parents and children to share.Thinking is traditionally regarded as something executed in a logical sequence, and everybody knows that children aren't very logical. So isn't it an uphill battle, trying to teach them to think? "You know," Edward de Bone says, "if you examine people's thinking, it is quite unusual to find faults of logic. But the faults of perception are huge! Often we think ineffectively because we take too limited a view.""Teach Your Child How to Think" offers lessons in perception improvement, of clearly seeing the implications of something you are saying and exploring the alternatives.36. What is TRUE about Caspar?A. He first described lateral thinking.B. He is often scolded by his teacher.C. He is Edward's son.D. He is an adventurous thinker.37. Caspar succeeded in applying to Oxford because ________.A. he used in the exam the techniques provided by his fatherB. he read the book "Teach Your Child How to think" beforethe examC. he was careful and often overworkedD. all of his school teachers thought he had a chance38. It can be inferred from Paragraph 2 that Edward _________.A. was prompted to study lateral thinking because his son was slightly dyslexicB. once taught businessmen how to think before he wrote for parents and childrenC. was likely to improve children's logic with his bookD. gave a description of lateral thinking several years after his son was born39. According to Paragraph 3, which of the following statements expresses Edward de Bone's view?A. We often think ineffectively because we take too limited a view.B. Thinking is traditionally regarded as something executed in a logical sequence.C. Everybody knows that children aren't very logical.D. h is an uphill battle trying to teach children to think.40. Lateral thinking refers to the following EXCEPT _______.A. seeing the implications of what you are sayingB. exploring the alternatives for what you are sayingC. improving one's logic in thinkingD. improving one's perception in thinkingPassage TwoFor millions of years before die appearance of die electric light, shift work, all-night cable TV and die Internet, earth's creatures evolved on a planet with predictable and reassuring 24-hour rhythms. Our biological clocks are set for this daily cycle. Simply, our bodies want to sleep at night and be awake duringthe day. Most women and men need between eight and eight and a half hours of sleep a night to function properly throughout their lives. (Contrary to popular belief, humans don’t need less sleep as they age.)But on average, Americans sleep only about seven and a half hour per night, a marked drop from the ninehours they averaged in 1910. What's worse, nearly one third of all Americans get less than six hours of sleep on a typical work night. For most people, that's not nearly enough.Finding ways to get more and better sleep can be a challenge. Scientists have identified more than 80 different sleep disorders. Some sleeping disorders are genetic. But many problems are caused by staying up late and by traveling frequently between time zone or by working nights. Dr. James F. Jones at National Jewish Medical and Research Center in Denver says that sleep disorders are often diagnosed as other discomforts. About one third of the patients referred to him with possible chronic fatigue syndrome actually have treatable sleep disorders. “Before we do anything else, we look at their sleep,” Jones says.Sleep experts say that most people would benefit from a good look at their sleep patterns. My motto (座右铭) is 'Sleep defensively'," says Mary Carskadon of Brown University. She says people need to carve out sufficient time to sleep, even if it means giving up other things. Sleep routines -- l/ire going to bed and getting up at the same time every day -- are important. Pre-bedtime activities also make a difference. As with Eisner, who used to suffer from sleeplessness, a few life style changes—avoiding stimulants and late meals, exercising hours before bedtime, relaxing with a hot bath—yield better sleep.41. What is TRUE of human sleep?A. On average, people in the U. S. today sleep less per night than they used to.B. For most people, less than six hoers of sleep on a typical work night is enough,C. Most people need less sleep when they grow older.D. Most people need seven and a half hems of sleep every night42. For our bodies to function properly, we should _______.A. adjust our activities to the new inventionsB. be able to predict the rhythms of our biological clocksC. sleep for at least eight hours per nightD. believe that we need less sleep as we age43. According to the author, many sleeping disorders are caused by _______.A. improper sleep patternsB. chronic fatigue syndromeC. other diseasesD. pre-bedtime exercises44. Which of the following measures can help you sleep better?A. Having late meals.B. Traveling between time zonesC. Staying up late.D. Taking a hot bath.45. "Sleep defensively" means that ~-A. people should sacrifice other things to getting enough sleep if necessaryB. people should give up going to bed and getting up at the same time every day.C. people should go to a doctor and have their problemsdiagnosedD. people should exercise immediately before going to bed every nightPassage ThreeThe media can impact current events. As a graduate student at Berkeley in the 1960s, I remember experiencing the events related to the People's Park that were occurring on campus. Same of these events were given national media coverage in the press and on TV. I found it interesting to compare my impressions of what was going on with perceptions obtained from the news media. I could begin to see events of that time feed on news coverage. This also provided me with some healthy insights into the distinctions between these realities.Electronic media are having a greater impact on the people's lives every day. People gather more and more of their impressions from representations. Television and telephone communications are linking people to a global village, or what one writer calls the electronic city. Consider the information that television brings into your home every day. Consider also the contact you have with others simply by using telephone. These media extend your consciousness and your contact. For example, the video coverage of the1989 San Francisco earthquake focused on "live action" such as the fires or the rescue efforts. This gave the viewer the impression of total disaster. Television coverage of the Iraqi War also developed an immediacy. CNN reported events as they happened. This coverage was distributed worldwide. Although most people were far away from these events, they developed some perception of these realities.In 1992, many people watched in horror as riots broke out on a sad Wednesday evening in Los Angeles, seemingly fed byvideo coverage from helicopters. This event was triggered by the verdict (裁定) in the Rodney King beating. We are now in an age where the public can have access to information that enables it to make its own judgments, and most people, who had seen the video of this beating, could not understand how the jury (陪审团) was able to acquit (宣布无罪) the policemen involved. Media coverage of events as they occur also provides powerful feedback that influences events. This can have harmful results, as it seemed on that Wednesday night in Los Angeles. By Friday night the public got to see Rodney King on television pleading, "Can we all get along?" By Saturday, television seemed to provide positive feedback as the Los Angeles riot turned out into a rally for peace. The television showed thousands of people marching with banners and cleaning tools. Because of that, many more people turned out to join the peaceful event they saw unfolding (展开) on television. The real healing, of course, will take much longer, but electronic media will continue to be a part of that process.46. The best title for the passage is _________.A. The1989 San Francisco Earthquake and the i992 Los Angeles RiotsB. How Media Cover EventsC. The 1992 Los Angeles RiotsD. The Impact of Media on Current Events47. All the following statements are true EXCEPT that _________.A. all the events occurring on the university campus at Berkeley were given national mediacoverageB. video coverage of the 1989 San Francisco earthquake gavethe viewers the impression of totaldisasterC. electronic media can extend one's contact with the worldD. those living far away from a certain event can also have some perception of realities bywatching television48. The term "electronic city" in Paragraph 2 refers toA. BerkeleyC. Los AngelesB. EarthD. San Francisco49. The 1992 Los Angeles riots broke out becauseA. video coverage from helicopters had made people angryB. video coverage had provided powerful feedbackC. the jury acquitted the policemen who had beaten Rodney KingD. people can make their own judgements50. It can be inferred from the passage thatA. the 1992 Los Angeles riots lasted a whole weekB. Rodney King seemed very angry when he appeared on television on FridayC. media coverage of events as they occur can have either good or bad resultsD. most people who had seen the video of the Rodney King beating agree with the verdict of thejuryPassage FourAt the Kyoto conference on global warming in December 1997, it became abundantlyclearhow complex it has become to work out internationalagreements relating to the environmentbecause of economic concerns unique to each country. It is no longer enough to try to forbidcertain activities or to reduce emissions of certain substances. The global challenges of theinterlink between the environment and development increasing bring us to the core of the economic life of states. During the late 1980s we were able, through international agreements, to make deep cuts in emissions harmful to the ozone layer. These reductions were made possible because substitutions had been found for many of the harmful chemicals and, more important, because the harmful substances could be replaced without negative effects on employment and the economies of states.Although the threat of global warming has been known to the world for decades and all countries and leaders agree that we need to deal with the problem, we also know that the effects of measures, especially harsh measures taken in some countries, would be nullified (抵消) if other countries do not control their emissions. Whereas the UN team on climate change has found that the emissions of carbon dioxide would have to be cut globally by 60% to stabilize the content of CO, in the atmosphere, this path is not feasible for several reasons. Such deep cuts would cause a breakdown of the world economy. Important and populous (人口众多的) low –or medium-income countries are not yet willing to undertake legal commitments about their energy uses. In addition, the state of world technology would not yet permit us to make such a big leap.We must, however, find a solution to the threat of global warming early in the 21st century.Such a commitment would require a degree of shared vision and common responsibilities new to humanity. Success ties in the force of imaginations, in imagining what would happen if we fail to act. Although many living in cold regions would welcome the global-warming effect of a warmer summer, few would cheer the arrival of the subsequent tropical diseases, especially where there had been none.51. The main purpose of this passage is to ________.A. analyze the problem of global warmingB. argue against making deep cuts in emissionsC. convince people that global warming is a real threatD. criticize some countries for refusing to cot down emissions harmful to the ozone layer52. The reason why it is difficult to get rid of the threat of global warming is that ________.A. not all the countries are willing to make deep cuts in emissionsB. many people welcome the global-warming effect of a warmer summerC. the leaders of many countries are not fully aware of the gravity of the problemD. world technology is not able to solve the problem53. In the passage the author implies that _______.A. the world has recently become aware of the threat of global warmingB. the problem of global warming has largely been solvedC. it is always difficult to work out international agreements to cut down emission harmful to the ozone layerD. it is no longer easy to reach international agreements relating to the environment54. According to the author, it is impossible at present to cut 60%of carbon dioxide emissionsglobally because __________.A. some people are irresponsibleB. it would cause a collapse of the world economyC. it is only a goal to be reached in the futureD. some people are lacking in imagination55. What should all countries do to help solve the problem of global warming?A. They should hold another world conference on climate change.B. They should provide advanced technology.C. They should replace all the harmful substances.D. They should willingly undertake legal commitments about their energy uses.Passage FiveThe word science is heard so often in modem times that almost everybody has some notion of its meaning. On the other hand, its definition is difficult for many people. The meaning of the term is confused, but everyoneshould understand its meaning and objectives. Just to make the explanation as simple as possible, suppose science is defined as classified knowledge (facts).Even in the true sciences distinguishing fact from fiction is not always easy. For this reason great care should be taken to distinguish between beliefs and truths. There is no danger as long as a clear difference is made between temporary and proved explanations. For example, hypotheses (假设) and theories are attempts to explain natural phenomena. From these positions the scientist continues to experiment and observe until they areproved or discredited (使不相信). The exacts status of any explanation should be clearly labeled to avoid confusion.The objectives of science are primarily the discovery and the subsequent understanding of the unknown. Man cannot be satisfied with recognizing that secrets exist in nature or that questions are unanswerable; he must solve them. Toward that end specialists in the field of biology and related fields of interest are directing much of their time and energy.Actually, two basic approaches lead to the discovery of new information. One, aimed at satisfying curiosity, is referred to as pure science. The other is aimed at using knowledge for specific purpose- for instance, improving health, raising standards of living, or creating new consumer products. In this case knowledge is put to economic use. Such an approach is referred to as applied science.Sometimes practical-minded people miss the point of pure science in thinking only of its immediate application for economic rewards. Chemists responsible for many of the discoveries could hardly have anticipated that their findings would one day result in applications of such a practical nature as those directly related to life and death. The discovery of one bit of information opens the door to the discovery of another. Some discoveries seem so simple that one is amazed they were not made years ago; however, one should remember that the construction of the microscope had to precede the discovery of the cell. The host of scientists dedicating their lives to pure science are not apologetic (抱歉) about ignoring the practical side of their discoveries; they know from experience that most knowledge is eventually applied.56. To define science we may simply call it ________.A. the study of unrelated fieldsB. classified knowledgeC. the study of unrelated subjectsD. an attempt to explain natural phenomena57. Pure science, leading to the construction of a microscope, ________.A. is not always as pure as we supposeB. necessarily results from applied science and the discovery of a cellC. may lead to antiscientific, "impure" resultsD. necessarily precedes applied science, leading to the discovery of the cell58. A scientist interested in adding to our general knowledge about oxygen would probably call his approach _______.A. pure scienceB. environmental scienceC. applied scienceD. agricultural science59. Which of the following statements does the author imply?A. In science, it is not difficult to distinguish fact from fictionB. Practical-minded people can understand the meaning and objectives of pure science.C. Scientists engaged in the theoretical research should not be blamed for ignoring the practical side of their discoveries.D. Today few people have any nation of the meaning of science.60. The best title for the passage isA. Hypotheses and TheoriesB. On Distinguishing Fact from FictionC. The Nature of Science and ScientistsD. Biology and the Scientific AgePassage SixWith the possible exception of equal rights, perhaps the most controversial issue across theUnited States today is the death penalty. Many argue that it is an effective deterrent (威慑) to murder, while others maintain there is no convincing evidence that the death penalty reduces the number of murders.The principal argument advanced by those opposed to the death penalty, basically, is that it is cruel and inhuman punishment, that it is the mark of a brutal society, and finally that it is of questionable effectiveness as a deterrent to crime anyway.In our opinion, the death penalty is a necessary evil. Throughout recorded history there have always been those extreme individuals in every society who were capable of terribly violent crimes such as murder. But some are more extreme than others.For example, it is one thing to take the life of another in a fit of blind rage, but quite another to coldly plot and carry out the murder of one or more people in the style of a butcher. Thus, murder, like all other crimes, is a matter of relative degree. While it could be argued with some conviction that the criminal in the first instance should be merely isolated from society, such should not be the fate of the latter type murderer.The value of the death penalty as a deterrent to crime may be open to debate. But the overwhelming majority of citizens believe that the death penalty protects them. Their belief is reinforced by evidence which shows that the death penalty deters murder. For example, from 1954 to1963, when the death penalty was consistently imposed in California, the murder rateremained between three and four murders for each 100 000 population. Since 1964 the death penalty has been imposed only once, and the murder rate has risen to 10.4 murders for each 100 000 population. The sharp climb in the state's murder rate, which began when executions stopped, is no coincidence. It is convincing evidence that the death penalty does deter many murderers. If the bill reestablishing the death penalty is vetoed, innocent people will be murdered--some whose lives may have been saved if the death penalty were in effect. This is literally a life or death matter. The lives of thousands of innocent people must be protected.61. The principal purpose of this passage is to ________.A. speak for the majorityB. initiate a vetoC. criticize the governmentD. argue for the value of the death penalty62. The passage attempts to establish a relationship between ______.A. the murder rate and the imposition of the death penaltyB. the effects of execution and the effects of isolationC. the importance of equal rights and that of the death penaltyD. executions and murders63. The author's response to those who urge the death penalty for alllikely be ______.A. negativeB. friendlyC. supportiveD. hostile64. In the passage the author is primarily concerned with ________.A. analyzing a problem objectivelyB. settling s disputeC. supporting a positionD. describing an event65. It can be inferred that the author thinks thatA. the death penalty is the most controversial issue in the United States todayB. the second type murderers (in Paragraph 4) should be sentenced to deathC. the veto of the bill reestablishing the death penalty is of little importanceD. the value of the death penalty as a deterrent to crime is not to be debatedPart IV Cloze (15 minutes, 10 points)Directions: In this part, there is a passage with twenty blanks. For each blank there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. Choose the best answer for each blank and mark the corresponding letter on your ANSWER SHEET with a single line through the center.What's your earliest childhood memory? Can you remember learning to walk? Or talk? Thefirst time you 66 thunder or watched a television program? Adults seldom 67 events muchearlier than the year or so before entering school, just as children younger than three or four68 retain any specific, personal experiences. A variety of explanations have been 69 bypsychologists for this "childhood amnesia" (儿童失忆症). Oneargues that the hippocampus, the region of the brain which is responsible for forming memories, does not mature 70 about the age of two. But the most popular theory 71 that, since adults do not think like children, they cannot72 childhood memories. Adults think in words, and their life memories are like stories or 73—one event follows 74 as in a novel or film. But when they search through their mental 75 for early childhood memories to add to this verbal life story, they don't find any that fits the 76 . It's like trying to find a Chinese word in an English dictionary.Now psychologist Annette Simms of the New York State University offers a new 77 forchildhood amnesia. She argues that there simply 78 any early childhood memories to recall.According to Dr. Simms, children need to learn to use 79 spoken description of their personalexperiences in order to turn their own short-term, quickly 80 impressions of them into long-term memories. In other 81 , children have to talk about their experiences and hear others talk about 82 --Mother talking about the afternoon 83 looking for seashells at the beach or Dad asking them about their day at Ocean Park. Without this 84 reinforcement, says Dr. Simms, children cannot form 85 memories of their personalexperiences.66. A. listened B. felt C. touched D. heard67. A. involve B. interpret C. recall D. resolve68. A. largely B. rarely C. merely D. really69. A. canceled B. figured C. proposed D. witnessed70. A. until B. once C. after D. since71. A. magnifies B. intervenes C. contains D. maintains72. A. reflect B. attain C. access D. refer。
