Task 1

Directions: After reading the following passage, you will find 5 questions or unfinished statements,

numbered 36 through 40. For each question or statement there are 4 choices marked A, B, C, or D. You are required to make the correct choice.

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 (成就) 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 book much notice, for they had already disappeared in spirit (精神) 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.%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.

36. The phrase \ A. tell lies B. lose confidence C. avoid dangers D. waste time

37. 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

d) they were so much cut off from the rest of the class

38. According to the passage, the two students failed in their study because of their _______. A. shyness B. proudness C. self-doubt D. laziness 39. The author thinks that the two students should ______.

A. give up their college education B. learn from other students C. feel happy because they are in college D. try hard before giving up

40. The sentence \

A. they didn't study well B. they didn't take part in class activities

C. they didn't take notes in class D. they didn't finish their study that term Task 2

Directions: This task is the same as Task 1. The 5 questions or unfinished statements are numbered

41 through 45.

Do women talk more than men? According to professor Deborah Tannen, of Georgetown University, men and women talk such different languages that it is like people from two different cultures trying to communicate. Professor Deborah Tannen has noticed differences in the style of boys' and girls' conversation from an early age. She says that little girls' conversation is less certain than boys' and expresses more doubts. These differences continue into adult life, she says. In public (公众) conversations, men talk most and interrupt other speakers more. In private (私人的) conversations, men and women speak in more or less the same amount—although they say things in a different style. Professor Tannen believes that, for women, private talking is a way to test closeness in relationship. For men, it is a way to build up the power (权威) of a relationship.

Teaching is one job where the differences between men's and women's ways of talking show. When a man teaches a woman, he wants to show that he has more knowledge, and so more power in conversation. He uses his language to show this. When a woman teaches another woman, however, she is more likely to encourage her students to join in. But Professor Tannen does not believe that women are naturally (天生地) more helpful. She says women feel they can build up power by being able to help others.

41. According to Professor Deborah Tannen, the styles men and women talk are ______. A. quite similar B. rather different C. very colorful D. somewhat changeable 42. When they grow up, the differences in the boys' and girls' conversations _______.

A. no longer exist B. become even greater C. become smaller D. remain the same 43. In public conversations, men tend to _______.

A. talk more B. listen more C. encourage others to talk D. let women talk more 44. In a private conversation, it is often true that _____.

a) a woman will test her power in her relationship with the listener. b) a man will try to build up a close relationship with the listener. c) a woman will take the lead of the talk.

d) a man's talk is similar to that of a woman in a mouth. 45. In teaching, men teachers are likely to ______.

A. encourage students to join in B. let students talk more

C. show their knowledge and power D. be more helpful than women teachers Task 3

Directions: The following is an instruction for cooking a special flavored steak (牛排). After

reading it, you should complete the information by filling in the blanks marked 46 through 50 in the table below.

To cook a really great steak, first of all you have to get the frying pan (煎锅) and the meat ready. For most cuts of meat, a simple sprinkle (喷撒) of your favorite spices (调味品) is enough.

When the meat is spiced, it's time to prepare the frying pan. Put oil in the pan and use high flame (火焰) to get it hot, until the oil is actually smoking. Then turn the heat down and put in the

steak. Don't touch (触动) the steak, but shake the pan so that it slides (滑动) around the hot surface. After the bottom (底部) of the steak is light brown, turn it over and cook at a slight lower flame for about two or three times as long, until the surface touching the pan is crisp brown and the sides are light brown. Never turn the steak over more than once.

How to Cook a Really Great Steak Get the frying pan and meat ready. Step 1: Sprinkle the meat with 46 lightly. Step 2: Put oil in the pan and heat it with 47 . Step 3: Put in 48 and shake the pan at a low flame. Step 4: When the under part of the steak is light brown, 49 and cook it. Caution(注意): Never turn the steak over 50 .

Part III Reading Comprehension (40 minutes)

Task 1

The United States Department of Agriculture requires that a grade mark be used when labeling eggs. It is printed on the carton or on a tape used to seal the carton. It shows both

the grade and the size of the eggs. Sometimes the size is not printed in the grade mark but it is printed on the carton.

There are three grades of eggs. The top grade is U.S. Grade AA, or Fresh Fancy Quality. The next is U.S. Grade A. Grade B is the lowest grade. Some stores sell all three grades, and there may be quite a difference in price between the grades. The top two grades, AA and A, are best for frying and poaching(沸水煮). They don't spread out very much in the pan, and the yolk is not easily broken. Grade B eggs are just as good to eat. But the whites is thinner. Also, the yolk may be flatter than in eggs of the higher grades. In most states, egg marked with a grade and size must meet certain state laws. Many state's grade standards are the same as those of the U. S government.

Eggs come in different sizes. But the size has nothing to do with the quality. The two decisions you must make when buying eggs are to choose the grade and the size. Eggs range in size from Jumbo to Pee Wee, and they are measured by their weight. A dozen Jumbo eggs must weigh a

minimum of 30 ounces. A dozen Pee Wee eggs only needs to weigh 15 ounces. Smaller eggs sell for less than bigger eggs because you buy them by weight just as you do other foods.

A buyer should watch for bargains in these smaller-sized eggs in late summer and fall when they're plentiful. If a person makes it a habit to check the price difference between sizes, then it will be easy to spot the bargains when they're available. Comparison shopping will get you the most eggs for the least money!

36. Which Federal Department requires grade marks on eggs?

A. Commerce B. Industry C. Interior D. Agriculture 37. Grade marks indicate _______.

A. size and quality B. color and texture C. price and shape D. weight and size 38. When eggs are labeled Jumbo, we know that ________.

A. these eggs are very fresh B. these eggs would be bigger than Pee Wee

C. the price for these eggs should be low D. no one would be able to afford these eggs 39. U.S. Grade A eggs ________.

A. have firm yolks B. are often smaller than other grades C. have flatter yolks D. have thinner shells 40. We can conclude that _______.

A. supermarkets offer the lowest egg prices B. size does not necessarily indicate quality

C. there is little difference among the three grades D. Grade B eggs are not as delicious as Grade A eggs Task 2

William…A Prisoner In His Own Flat

In some ways, William is luckier than many old people. He lives in a brand new flat that's warm and comfortable. But he feels trapped.

He's eighty-seven, ahs sight only in one eye and has great difficulty in breathing. Even a short walk down to the local shops would prove far too much for him. And to make matters worse, he had to move form his own home in East London to his new flat, because he was unable to live by himself any longer. Regular transport to an old people's Day Center would make all the difference.

They're cheerful, warm places to spend the day—an end to the depressing loneliness. For in the Day Center old people meet, make friends and can get a good nourishing meal at a low price.

$ 4 is a real help towards another center.

$ 30 helps provide a Geriatric (老年病的)Day Hospital.

$ 150 inscribes(镌刻)the name of someone dear to you on the Dedication Plaque of a Day Center.

Psychiatric (治疗精神病的) tests show that a well—balanced person gets much angrier when offended than an abnormal (不正常的) person does . At the New York State Psychiatric Institute, Dr. James Page and Professor of Psychology Carney Landis of Columbia University studied the reaction of 200 normal persons and 210 abnormal persons. They tested their reactions to annoying situations of every type and variety such as: being laughed at, being repeatedly disconnected on the telephone, accidentally hitting their thumb with a hammer, being worked on by a backseat driver , being told to ―shut up‖ and mind their own business, discovering someone cheating in a friendly card game , etc. In almost every instance the anger reaction of the normal group was much more intense than that of the abnormal one.

―This,‖ they reported, ―is agreeing with other psychiatric findings. For one of the outstanding symptoms(症状) of mental unbalance is lack of emotion.‖ So if you blow your top when you hit your head against a piece of furniture, or when your girlfriend goes out with another young man—don‘t worry about it. It‘s just a sign that you‘re normal. 41. The passage mainly deals with__________.

A. psychiatric studies of different types of anger reactions. B. the reactions of abnormal persons to annoying situations. C. emotional reactions shown by normal and abnormal persons. D. the level of anger reactions shown by well—balanced persons,.

C. not cover up your feelings D. not worry about what has made you angry 43. From the context, the phrase ―blow your top‖ probably means________

A. get angry B. blow hard C. become a top one D. need for affection 44. We can learn from the passage that_________.

A. Dr. Page and Professor Landis used a special method to test abnormal persons. B. what Dr. Page and Professor Landis found was new to other doctors.

C. the research of Dr. Page and Professor Landis was to prove previous researches. D. the purpose of the test was to find a way to cure abnormal persons. 45. This short passage is most likely taken from________.

Directions: The following is a passage about the urban problems. After reading it ,you are required

to fill in the blanks below (No.46 through No.50). You should write your answers on the Answer Sheer correspondingly.

Certain urban problems are common to both developed and developing countries, for example, poor housing, unemployment, traffic jams and pollution. But there are problems which are peculiar to developing countries and this is due to the need of these countries to provide a basic structure

necessary for industrialization. The provision of this structure is the urbanization process itself.

There are five main consequences of this uncontrolled urbanization: firstly, people move from the country to the city because they see the city as a more desirable place to live. Secondly, rural areas thus become less populated and this causers a decrease in the production of food. Thirdly, there is a high urban population growth rate. Fourthly, there is a dramatic pressure on the supply of social services, especially those services related to education and health, and finally uncontrolled urbanization leads to an excess of labor supply in the cities.

There are a few policies which could slow this kind of uncontrolled urbanization in developing countries. A more equal land distribution should be promoted land distribution should be promoted. In this way farmers would be more motivated to stay on the land. Also, the supply of social services in the rural areas have to be improved, particularly in the field of health and education. Most importantly, it is necessary to give financial to agriculture, especially to the small land owners.

The main problem discussed in the passage: ___46_____ The consequence of fewer people in the countryside: a reduction in the __47___. Possible solutions to the problem: 1. to carry out ____48___. 2. to provide _ 49____. 3. to offer ____50____.

Air pollution can spread from city to city. It even spreads from one country to another. Some northern European countries have had ―black snow‖ from pollutants that have traveled through the air from other countries and fallen with the snow. So air pollution is really a global problem.

Air pollution can kill babies, older people, and those who have respiratory (呼吸的) diseases. As found in cities, air pollution increases the risks of certain lung diseases.

Air pollution can cause both airplane and car accidents because it cuts down visibility (视线). There are other possible health dangers from air pollution that we don‘t know much about. For example, scientists are trying to find out whether chemicals that we don‘t know much about. For example, scientists are trying to find out whether chemicals that reach us from the air may cause changes in our cells. These changes might cause babies to be born with serious birth defects. Scientists are trying to learn how all the many chemicals we are apt (易于的) to take into our bodies from air, water, food, and even medicines act together to affect our health and the way our bodies work. That is another reason why it is so important to begin to control pollution now instead of waiting until we learn all the answers.

Air pollution costs us a lot of money. It corrodes (腐蚀) our buildings. It damages farm crops and forests. It has a destructive effect on our works of art. The cost of all this damage to our government is great. It would be much more worthwhile, both for the government, to spend our tax dollars on air pollution control.

A. it may cause pilots to be ill C. visibility is reduced

B. engines may fail from dirt D. it brings a lot of black snow 37. Scientists are trying to find a link between pollution and __________. A. intelligence levels C. man‘s behavior B. birth problems D. the nervous system 38. Scientists have not yet determined __________.

c) more trees should be planted in cities

d) more money should be spent in solving the problem 40. We can conclude that __________.

a) civilization may be destroyed if pollution is not controlled b) pollution is more serious in Europe than it is in America c) most people do not know that pollution is a serious problem

Depression isn‘t just feeling down. It‘s a real illness with real cause. Depression can be set off by stressful life events, like divorce or a death in the family. Or it can appear suddenly, for no apparent reason.

Some people think you can try to get yourself out of a depression. That‘s not true. Many doctors believe that one thing that may cause depression is an imbalance of serotonin (血清素) —a chemical in your body. If this happens, you may have trouble sleeping. Feel unusually sad or irritable. Find it hard to concentrate. Lose your appetite. Lack energy. Or have trouble feeling pleasure. These are some of the symptoms (症状) that can point to depression—especially if they last for more than a couple of weeks.

To help fight depression, the medicine doctors now prescribe most often is Prozac. Prozac isn‘t a ―happy pill‖. It won‘t turn you into a different person.

Some people do experience mild side effects, like upset stomach, headaches, difficulty sleeping, anxiety and nervousness. These tend to go away within a few weeks of starting treatment, and usually aren‘t serious enough to make most people stop taking it. However, if you are concerned about a side effect, or if you develop a rash (皮疹),tell your doctor right away. And don‘t forget to tell your doctor about any other medicines you are taking.

Prozac has been carefully studied for nearly 10 years. But remember, Prozac is a prescription medicine, and it isn‘t right for everyone. Only your doctor can decide if Prozac is right for you.

Prozac has been prescribed for more than 17 million Americans. 41. Some people think depression is _______.

A. a mental state that can be overcome without medicine B. an illness that no medicine can cure

C. an experience everyone has in his life time

D. something you can avoid by leading a happy life

42. What do some doctors think is the real cause for people to feel depressed?

A. Unhappy events happening in one‘s life.

B. A lack of balance of a chemical in one‘s body C. Difficulty in concentrating on something

D. Sad feelings, lacking energy and eating disorder. 43. What does the phrase ―set off‖ (Line 2, Para.1) mean?

A. start B. develop C. take off D. put on 44. Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?

A. Prozac is a medicine prescribed occasionally by doctors. B. When taking Prozac few people can have a side effect..

C. Prozac can help one fight depression, but it doesn‘t suit everyone. D. Only a small number of Americans have taken Prozac in recent years. 45. We can learn from the passage that one can _______.

A. take Prozac only after he asks the doctor

B. decide whether Prozac is right for him or not

C. also treat other mental diseases with Prozac D. buy Prozac directly from a drug store Task 3

Directions: The following is a quotation from an encyclopedia. After reading it, you are required to

complete the outline below it (No.46 t through No.50) in as few words as possible. You should write your answers briefly on the Answer Sheet correspondingly.

An abbreviation (缩写词) can be defined an a shortened form of a word or term. Abbreviations are an attempt to communicate information fast and accurately. But this goal is not always achieved. To many people, particularly to those new to a field, reports and papers sometimes seem to be written in a telegraphic style with abbreviations so interspersed (夹杂) as to make the message almost meaningless. Frequently it is necessary to search through several reference books to find the exact word or phrase represented by an abbreviation. Owing to the lack of a comprehensive dictionary of abbreviations and the divers definitions of abbreviations among subject areas, it is common practice in most scholarly publication to include in the introductory text or in an appendix (附录) at the end of the book a list of the abbreviations used.

Another method is to explain the abbreviations to the reader the first time it appears.

Librarians, like everyone else, tend to use abbreviations to save space and time and to eliminate the necessity of repeating words or phrases that are long and complicated. In the library and information science field, abbreviations are used primarily for magazine and book titles, names of organizations, corporate author entries, names of computer programs, and publishers‘ names. Abbreviations Definition: _______46_________ Purpose of using abbreviations: To pass messages __________47_________ Causes of difficulties in using abbreviations: 1. lack of a comprehensive dictionary 2. _________48________ Ways to introduce abbreviations: 1. _________49_________ 2. to give explanations Users of abbreviations mentioned here: _________50__________ Task 4
