2 The Importance of Confidence

Whatever one does, one should do it with confidence. If one has no confidence, there is little possibility that one would ever achieve anything, especially when one is faced with drawbacks or hardships. This truth seems to be self-evident. However, in reality we do see a lot of people who complain that they lack the ability to do something or that their difficulties are too great to be overcome. For someone, this might be true. But for many others, this only shows that they have lost heart.

Why do people often feel frustrated even though they are capable of doing something? There are, among others, two main reasons. First, these people do not have a correct estimate of themselves. For example, being given the same kind of work, one who holds a gloomy view on one's own ability always find the work much difficult and less interesting than one who have confidence in themselves. Second, they overestimate the difficulties.

It is possible to build up faith in oneself by having the right attitude towards one?s own abilities. We should never underestimate our abilities but should believe in the proverb: \there is a will, there is a way.” Confidence is the promise for fulfilling a task successfully.

Specialists in marketing have studied how to make people buy more food in a supermarket. They do all kinds of things that you do not even notice. For example, the simple, ordinary food that everybody must buy, like bread, milk, flour, and vegetable oil, is spread all over the store. You have to walk by all the more interesting and more expensive things in order to find what you need. The more expensive food is in packages with bright colored pictures. This food is placed at eye level so you see it and want to buy it. The things that you have to buy anyway are usually located on a higher or lower shelf. However, candy and other things that children like are on lower shelves. One study showed that when a supermarket moved four products from floor to eye level, it sold 78 percent more.

Another study showed that for every minute a person is in a supermarket after the first half hour, she or he spends $50. If someone stays forty minutes, the supermarket has an additional $5.00. So the store has a comfortable temperature in summer and winter, and it plays soft music. It is a pleasant place for people to stay and spend more money.

Some stores have red or pink lights over the meat so the meat looks redder. They put light green paper around lettuce (生菜) and put apples in red plastic bags.

So be careful in the supermarket. You may go home with a bag of food you were not

planning to buy. The supermarket, not you, decided you should buy it.

Task 2(2 points each, 10 points in all)

Directions: This task is the same as Task l (No. 51 through No. 55).

Although each baby has an individual schedule of development, general patterns of growth have been observed. Three periods of development have been identified（确定）,including early infancy (幼儿期),which extends from the first to the sixth month; middle infancy, from the sixth to the ninth month; and late infancy, from the ninth to the fifteenth month. Whereas the newborn is concerned with his or her inner world and reacts primarily to hunger and pain in early infancy, the baby is already aware of the surrounding world. During the second month, many infants are awake more and can raise their heads to look at things. They also begin to smile at people. By four months, the baby is searching for things but not yet grasping them with its hands. It is also

beginning to be wary(谨慎的) of strangers and may scream when a visiting relative tries to pick it up. By five months, the baby is grabbing objects and putting them into its mouth. Some babies are trying to feed themselves with their hands.

In middle infancy, the baby concentrates on practicing a great many speech sounds. It loves to imitate actions and examine interesting objects. At about seven months, it begins to crawl, a

skill that it masters at the end of middle infancy. In late infancy, the baby takes an interest in games, songs, and even books. Progress toward walking moves through standing, balancing, bouncing in place, and walking with others. As soon as the baby walks well alone, it has passed from infancy into the active toddler（蹒跚学步）stage. 51. What is the main subject of this reading passage?

A. Growth in early infancy. B. The active toddler.

C. How a baby learns to walk. D. The developmental stages of infancy. 52. When does a baby take an interest in books?

Hemingway was born in Illinois, his family took him as a boy on frequent hunting and fishing trips and so acquainted him early with the kinds of virtues (美德)such as courage and endurance, which were later reflected in his fiction (文学作品). After high school, he worked as a newspaper reporter and then went oversea to take part in World War I. After the war he lived for several years in Paris, where he became part of a group of Americans who felt strange from their country. They considered themselves a lost generation. It was not long before he began to publish the powerful novel “The Sun Also Rises”. His subjects were often war and its effects on people, or contests, such as hunting or bullfighting, which demand stamina and courage.

Hemingway's style of writing is striking. His sentences are short, his words simple, yet they are often filled with emotion. A careful reading can show us, furthermore, that he is a master of the pause. That is, if we look closely, we see how the action of his stories continues during the silences, during the times his characters say nothing. This action is often full of meaning. There are times when the most powerful effect comes from restraint (适度).Such times occur often in Hemingway?s fiction. He perfected the art of expressing emotion with few words.

56. The word \in the last line of paragraph l can most probably be replaced by . A．money B. time C. energy D. weapon

57. Hemingway might have two kinds of special qualities-courage and endurance-because . A. he trained himself through hard work in his childhood B. he got some special trainings while growing up

A. \ B. \

C. \ D. \

59. \ A. a generation full of hope

B. the sad and confused young men C. a big crowd of young men

D. a group of people who have lost their way

60. Hemingway preferred short and simple sentences in his writings because . A. he could not arrange long and complicated sentences well

B. he was afraid that his readers would misunderstand him if he wrote long sentences C. short sentences are easier to write D. this is his style of writing he is good at

Task 4(3 points each, 15 points in all)

Directions: This task is the same as Task l (No. 61 through No. 65).

Trees have a spectacular(壮丽的 ;奇观的)survival record. Over a period of more than 400 million years, they have evolved as the tallest, most massive, and longest-lived organisms ever to inhabit the Earth. Yet trees lack a means of defense that almost every animal has: trees cannot move away from destructive forces. Because they cannot move, all types of living and nonliving enemies-fire, storms, microorganisms, insects, other animals and, later, humans-have wounded them throughout their history. Trees have survived because their evolution has made them into highly compartmented (分隔的)organisms: that is, they wall off injured and infected wood.

In that respect trees are radically different from animals. Fundamentally, animals heal, they preserve their life by making billions of repair, installing (安置) new cells or rejuvenated (恢复活力的) cells in the positions of old ones. Trees cannot heal; they make no repairs. Instead, they defend themselves from the consequences of injury and infection by walling off the damage. At the same time they put new cells in new positions; in effect, they grow a new tree over the old one every year. The most obvious results of the process are growth rings, which are visible on the cross section of a trunk, a root, or a branch.

61. The author's main purpose in this article is to explain the

A. life cycle of a tree B. way trees survive C. importance of trees to human progress D. dangers trees face 62. The author describes trees as all of the following EXCEPT . A. tall B. green C. massive D. long-lived

63．The author implies that almost every animal is able to protect itself from destructive forces by doing which of the following?

A. Moving away. B. Calling for help.

C. Climbing up a tree. D. Remaining with its group.

64．As it is used in the last sentence of Paragraph l, the pronoun “they” refers to _ . A. enemies B. animals C. humans D. trees

65．According to the context of the passage, you can guess the meaning of the verb \is . A. (of people or animals) reaches the stage of full development B.breed (farm animals); grow or produce (crops)

C. (of plants, animals, etc.) gradually develop from a simple form to a more complex one D. (cause somebody /something) to grow gradually Ⅳ. Translation (35 points) Section A

Directions: Translate the following sentences from English into Chinese (4 points each for No. 66 through No. 68; 6 points for No. 69; 18 points in all.)

66. We need not wish for what we don't have, but enjoy what we do possess today.

67. Our corporation is established for the purpose of carrying on import and export business as well as other activities in connection with foreign trade.

68. If you become, as a result of reading, better, wiser, kinder, or gentler, you won't have suffered during the process.

69. To learn aforeign language is to learn another culture. In the words of a poet and philosopher, \ Section B

Directions: Translate the following sentences from Chinese into English (4 points each for No. 70 through No. 72; 5 points for No. 73; 17 points in all.) 70.长城常被看作是中国文化和历史的象征。 71.我原以为问题已经解决了，但事实并非如此。

72.不言而喻，科学技术的发展对中国现代化是至关重要的。

【解析】 B spend：花费，度过；afford：买得起，承担得起，一般与to搭配使用；feel：感

觉；think：思考，思索。根据句意，本题应选B。 5．【翻译】 当我第一次在你家看见她的时候，我把她当成了你女朋友。 [考点] 词语搭配

[考点] 固定用法

【解析】 C so和such都有“如此”的意思，但在搭配时后面的词序是不同的。so的常用结构是：so+形容词+冠词+单数名词；而such常用“such+冠词+形容词+单数名词”的形式。所以本题正确的用法应是C。

13.【翻译】 他不知道的是要完成这个特殊的任务将会花费他十年的时间。 [考点]it的用法

【解析】 D当动词take表示“花费（时间或金钱）”时，其主语必须用it，构成“it will take/takes/took sb. some time/ money to do sth.”结构。根据句子中“He didn't know”的时态可知，从句应用过去将来时，故本题应选D。

14.【翻译】 批评和自我批评是必需的，因为它可以帮助我们改正错误。 [考点] 状语从句

【解析】 B本句是由短语in that引导的原因状语从句，意为“因为……，基于…… 的理由”。in that可以和because换用，通常用于正式文体，所以引导的原因状语从句是位于主句之后。

【解析】 C分析句子结构可知，本句主语、系动词和表语都有，所以空白处应用动词的现在分词形式，做前面主语the man的后置定语。此时the man organizing the Helping Hand Group就相当于一个定语从句the man who organized the Helping Hand Group。 21．【翻译】 我被邀请做演讲，从明天开始我该着手准备了。 [考点】 非谓语动词

【解析】 B分析句子结构可知，逗号前面的句子做整个句子的状语，所以排除选项 D。且此处句子主语“I”和动词“invite”之间为逻辑上的被动关系，且“invite”，的动作发生在主句谓语“start”之前，故本题应选动词过去分词的完成被动式。

22．【翻译】 我多么希望我没有试图修理过这块表。我只会把它弄得更糟。 [考点] 虚拟语气

【解析】 B根据句子中“made”一词可以看出，本句是对过去事件的虚拟。在wish 所引导的宾语从句中，表示对过去事实的虚拟时，从句的谓语应用“had+过去分词”，形式。根据句意，第一句应为“我多么希望我没有试图……”，故本题选B。 23．【翻译】 一方面，他被老师们高度赞扬，另一方面，他被一些同学责骂。 [考点] 词语搭配

2. How I Finance My College Education

While the cost of college education has risen sharply in the past few years, students have several ways to pay for their college tuition and fees. Mostly their parents will pay. And some students may apply for a bank loan and others wiU try to find a part-time job. Besides, many students will be awarded a scholarship. In these ways, students can pay, at least partly, for their college education.

For me，I?ll let my parents pay for my college education. This is because my parents have once promised to do so if only I could be admitted into a university. And what?s more, I want to concentrate on my studies during my college years and I won't let the tuition problem distract me from my school work.

Therefore, depending on my parents is my reasonable choice. Only in this way can I fulfill my school work. Only in this way can I fulfill my dream of future and my parents will feel rewarded and be proud of me.

Task l (2 points each, 10 points in all)

Directions: After reading the following passage, you will find 5 questions or unfinished statements (No.46 through No. 50). For each question or statement there are 4 choices. You should make the correct choice and put the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet.

In ancient times the most important examinations were spoken, not written. In the schools of ancient Greece and Rome, testing usually consisted of saying poetry aloud or giving; speeches. In the European universities of the middle Ages, students who were working for advanced degrees had to discuss questions in their field of study with people who had made a special study of the subject. This custom exists today as part of the process of testing candidates(考生) for the doctor' s degree.

Generally, however, modern examinations are written. The written examination, where all students are tested on the same questions, was probably not known until the nineteenth century. Perhaps it came into existence with the great increase in population and the development of modern industry. A room full of candidates for a state examination, timed exactly by electric

clocks and carefully watched over by managers, resembles a group of workers at an automobile factory.Certainly, during examinations teachers and students is expected to act like machines.

One type of test is sometimes called an objective test. It is intended to deal with facts, not personal opinions. To make up an objective test the teacher writes a series of questions, each of which has only one correct answer. Along with each question the teacher writes the correct answer and also three statements that look like answers to students who have not learned the material properly.

46. In the middle Ages students . A. took objective tests B. were timed by electric clocks C. specialized in one subject D. never wrote exams 47. The main idea of paragraph 3 is that .

A. workers now take examinations B. the population has grown

C. there are only written exams today D. examinations are now written and timed 48. The kind of exams where students must select answers are . A. personal B. spoken C. objective D. written 49. Modern industry must have developed .

A. before the Middle Ages B. in Greece or Rome C. around the 19th century D. machines to take tests 50. It may be concluded that testing .

A. should test only opinions B. has changed since the middle Ages C. should always be written D. is given only in factories

Task 2(2 points each, 10 points in all)

Directions: This task is the same as Task l ( No.51 through No.55).

He lived in the 16th century. A few things, but not really that many, are known about his life. And yet around the world the comment is unanimous: he was the greatest writer who ever lived. His name was William Shakespeare.

Shakespeare was born in 1564 in a little town called Stratford-upon Avon. When he was in his twenties, he made his way to London. There he spent most of his working life. The theater was very popular at that time, and soon Shakespeare was writing plays. He belonged to an acting company called the Lord Chamberlain?s Men and wrote plays for them. (He also acted in some of the plays.) In 1599 the company built the famous Globe Theater. There Shakespeare wrote and acted until he retired in about 1607.

Shakespeare wrote three kinds of plays: comedies, tragedies, and histories. Many of the comedies involved mistaken identities, :women pretended to be men, and slapstick (滑稽剧) situations. One of his famous comedies is A Midsummer Night?s Dream. Shakespeare?s tragedies were often about a noble and honorable man who had one fault that helped bring about his downfall. Hamlet is an example. Shakespeare?s histories were usually about kings of England, such as Richard Ni or Henry V.

What made Shakespeare?s work so great? It was not necessarily his stories. Many were retellings of stories the audience already knew. But the way he told the stories was often remarkable. He understood the way people thought and acted, and he built this into his characters. Even though they were created 400 years ago, Shakespeare's characters are believed today.

Shakespeare's use of language such as his beautiful descriptions and his clear, to-the-point statements-also made him great. Hundreds of famous English sayings come from his plays. One

example: \ 51. This passage is mainly about .

A. the Globe Theater B. Theater in the 1500s

C. Shakespeare's histories D. Shakespeare's life and work 52. Many of Shakespeare's plays . A. were based on original stories

B. were based on stories already familiar to the audience C. were a mixture of comedy and tragedy D. do not exist today

53. Based on Shakespeare?s experience, it is probably true that the members of the Lord Chamberlain?s Men .

A. performed more than one job B. were jealous of each other C. could not read or write D. were all quite young 54. The general organization of this passage is . A. Shakespeare's works, greatness, life B. Shakespeare's life, works; greatness

C. Shakespeare's childhood, works, retirement D. Shakespeare's greatness, works, life

55. The underlined word 'unanimous\ . A. cause for argument B. surprising

C. kept in written records D. agreed on by everyone

Task 3(3 points each, 15 points in all)

Directions: This task is the same as Task l (No. 56 through No. 60).

A lot of people are their own enemies. They regard themselves as unlikely to succeed in college and often feel that there have been no accomplishments in their lives. In my first year of college especially, I saw people get themselves down all too quickly. There were two students in my class who failed the first test and seemed to give up immediately. From that day on, they walked into the classroom carrying defeat on their shoulders the way other students carried textbooks under their

arms. Both students hang on until about mid term. When they disappeared for good, no one took much notice, for they had already disappeared in spirit after that first test.

They are not the only people in whom I have seen the self-doubt do its work. I have really wanted to shake them by the shoulders and say: \have brought yourself here to college. Be someone. Breathe. Hope. Act. “Such people should not use self-doubts as an excuse for not trying. They should pull themselves together and get to work. They should start taking notes in class and trying to learn. Above all, they should not give up

without even trying.

56. The underlined phrase \ 1) Probably A. telllies B. lose confidence C. avoid dangers D. waste time

57. When the two students dropped out, no one took much notice because . A. they had long lost heart in class performance B. they were absent from class too often C. they didn't get on well with other students
