Part I Reading Comprehension (共20小题，每小题2分，共40分) Passage 1

Vegetable gardening is the relaxing art and science of turning a love for growing plants into a meaningful activity. Having vegetables in the backyard makes home gardening appealing for many people. In addition, vegetable gardening provides exercise and fun for both urban and suburban families.

Vegetable gardeners agree that many home-grown vegetables are superior to those purchased from markets. Form spring through late fall, a well-planned and well-kept garden can provide a supply of fresh vegetables, thus increasing the nutrition of the family diet.

Freezers make it possible to keep some of the vegetables to be enjoyed at a later date. Other vegetables can be stored for a few months in a cool area.

Although the money spent for a garden may be little, one cannot escape the fact that gardening requires hard work and time. Many of the gardening tasks must be performed at times that are most inconvenient. Not doing jobs that should be done on a regular basis may result in failure and a negative feeling toward gardening.

One should not plant a garden that is too large for him to care for. A small, well-kept garden is more enjoyed and profitable than a large neglected one. Vegetables do well in full sunlight and need at least five or six hours of sun during the middle of one day. Too much shading results in poor plants and few vegetables. If possible, the garden should be near the house, so the garden can work in it whenever they are free.

Soils for vegetables be easily broken up and porous (多孔的) for quick water drainage

and good aeration (透气) . Usually the home owner has little choice in the soil type he can choose. Fortunately, many vegetables can be frown on poor soils if the soils are properly prepared.

Passage 2

In old days, when a glimpse of stocking was looked upon as something so shocking as distract the serious work of an office, secretaries were men.

Then came the First World War and the male secretaries were replaced by women. A man’s secretary became his suits to the dry-cleaners; telling lies on the telephone to keep

away people he did not wish to speak to; and, of course, typing and filling and taking shorthand.

Now all this may be changing again. The microchip (芯片) and high technology is sweeping the British office, taking with it much of the routine clerical (文书的) work tat secretaries did.

“Once office technology takes over generally, the status of the job will rise again because it will involve the high-tech work—and then men will want to do it again.”

That was said by one of the executive (male) of one of the biggest secretarial agencies in this country. What he has predicted is already under was in the U. S.

Once high technology has made the job of secretary less routine (乏味的) , will there be a male takeover? Men should be careful of thinking that they can walk right into the better jobs. There are a lot of women secretaries who will do job as well as men—not just because they can buy negligees (女士长睡衣) for the boss's wife, but because they are as efficient and well-trained to cope with word processors and computers and computers as men.

6. Before 1914 female secretaries sere rare because they D A. were less efficient and less trained than men B. were looked down upon by men

C. would have disturbed the other office workers D. wore stocking and were not as serious as men

D. wives

B. be better paid D. have less work to do

10. The writer believes that before long A A. both men and women can act as secretaries B. men will be better than machines

Passage 3

Humanity is new experiment on plant Earth. For most of its history, life on Earth was restricted to the sea. Living things began to popular the land slightly over 400 million years ago, and humans have existed for no more than 3 million years.

One way to represent the evolution of life is to compress the 4.6-billion-year history of Earth into a 1-year-log film. In such a film, earth forms as the film begins on January 1, and through all of January and February it cools and is cratered (变成坑状) and the first oceans form. But those oceans remain lifeless until sometimes in March or early April, when the first living things develop. The 4-million-year history of Precambrian (前寒武纪) evolution lasts until the film reaches mid-November, when primitive ocean life begins to evolve into complex organisms such as trilobites (三叶虫) .

If we examine the land instead of the oceans, we find a lifeless waste. But once our film shows plant and animal life on the land, about November 28, evolution proceeds rapidly. Dinosaurs, for example, appear about December 12 and vanish by Christmas Eve, as mammals (哺乳动物) and birds flourish.

Throughout the 1-year-run of our film there are no humans, and even during the last days of the year as the mammals rise and dominate the landscape, there are no people. In the early evening of December 31, vaguely human forms move through the grasslands, and by late evening they begin making stone tools. The Stone Age lasts until shout 11:45 pm, and the first signs of civilization, towns and cities, do not appear until 11:45 pm. The Christian era begins only 14 seconds before the New Year, and the Declaration of Independence is signed with 1 second to spare.

11. In comparing all of Earth’s geological evolution to one calendar year, the author shows C

A. just how recently humanity has arrived on the scene B. just how simple it is to understand the history of Earth C. just how early humanity appears on planet Earth D. just how difficult it is to understand the history of earth

12. According to the passage, primitive ocean life begins to evolve into complex organisms A

A. in the middle of December C. at the beginning of November waste

13. It is indicated in the passage that D A. Earth id cool at first B. Earth id hot at the beginning C. There are oceans at the beginning D. There is life in the ocean in late February 14. In the one-year-long film dinosaurs D A. die out on December 25 B. appear after December 25 C. die out on December 24 D. appear on December 24

15. In the compressed history of Earth the Declaration of Independence is signed C A. a long time before the New Year Year’s Day

C. just one second before the New Year

D. right on the New Year Day B. immediately after the New B. when Earth is cratered D. when the land is still a lifeless

Passage 4 (非英语类考生必做)

Internet-addicted job seekers may be partly the cause of the fact that it is taking the unemployed 23% longer to find a new position than it took during the recession (经济萧条) , when the “benefits” of online job searching were unavailable. “A growing number of unemployed Americans waste time browsing (浏览) the estimated 4,000 to 5,000 online job sites, filling them with resumes, and then waiting for replies. It is common for long-time joblessness,” argues Professor John A. Challenger. Although the Internet has the potential to be very useful for job seekers and it has become the primary tool for many, Challenger
