II. Reading Comprehension:

(A)

So long as teachers fail to distinguish between teaching and learning , they will continue to undertake to do for children that which only children can do for themselves. Teaching children to read is not passing reading on to them. It is certainly not endless hours spent in activities about reading. Douglas insists that― reading cannot be taught directly and schools should stop trying to do the impossible‖.

Teaching and learning are two entirely different processes. They differ in kind and function. The function of teaching is to create the conditions and the climate that will make it possible for children to devise the most efficient system for teaching themselves to read. Teaching is also public activity. It can be seen and observed.

Learning to read involves all that each individual does to make sense of the world of printed language. Almost all of it is private ,for learning is an occupation of the mind ,and that process is not open to public scrutiny. If teacher and learner roles are not interchangeable ,what then can be done through teaching that will aid the child in the quest（探索）for knowledge? Smith has one principal rule for all teaching instructions. ―Make learning to read easy, which means making reading a meaningful, enjoyable and frequent experience for children. ‖

When the roles of teacher and learner are seen for what they are, and when both teacher fulfil them appropriately, then much of the pressure and feeling of failure for both is eliminated. Learning to read is made easier when teachers create an environment where children are given the opportunity to solve the problem of leaning to read by reading.

1．The problem with the reading course as mentioned in the first paragraph is that ____D____. A. it is one of the most difficult school courses B. students spend endless hours in reading C. reading tasks are assigned with little guidance D. too much time is spent in teaching about reading 2．The teaching of reading will be successful if ___B_____. A. teachers can improve conditions at school for the students B. teachers can enable students to develop their own way of reading C. teachers can devise the most effcient system for reading D. teachers can make their teaching activities observable

3．The underlined word― scrutiny‖ most probably means―____B____‖. A. inquiry B. observation C. control D. suspicion

2

4．According to the passage, learning to read will no longer be a difficult task when __A______. A. children become highly motivated B. teacher and learner roles are interchangeable C. teaching helps children in the search for knowledge D. reading enriches children‘s experience 5．The main idea of the passage is that ____C____.

A. teachers should do as little as possible in helping students learn to read B. teachers should encourage students to read as widely as possible C. reading ability is something acquired rather than taught D. reading is more complicated that generally believed

(B)

Once upon a time in the West, the only acceptable role models available to women were that of the wife and mother. But now, not only are feminist critics and historians rediscovering the heroines of the past, we have also enough real heroines around today to believe our own new dreams of power.

Although Madonna‘s star might be getting less bright in Britain and America, let us not underestimate her influence. Many young women used to think that being a strong, feminist, demanding woman meant that they might have to give up their claims to be sexual, funny and individualist. But here is someone who is completely in control of her life, her art, her performance. When she grabs her crotch on stage or sells a book o f pin-up pictures of herself, we can see her recreating images that have been used before only to exploit women , and using them to show women that their sexuality is something to be proud of .

No wonder of Madonna‘s fans are not men but young women. They are responding to this new, real possibility that they can play with fire and may not get burnt. They identify with the fat that Madonna controls all aspects of her art, rather than being the innocent victim.

Another female icon whose power has swept through women‘s imaginations is Margaret Thatcher. It is all very well for her to say that she does not think she woes the women‘s movement anything. What is important for women, whether or not they sympathizes with her methods, politics or rhetoric, is that here was a woman who stood with the men at the G7 summits or in the British Cabinet as a leader among leaders.

She is not an icon that is easy to cope with. Just as with Madonna, she goes against the grain of the most traditional images of female power. But by breaking through the male cordons of the British establishment she has made sure that never again can a woman‘s ability to run a democratic country be questioned just because she is a woman.

1. It can be seen from the passage that Madonna‘s influence is _ B________. A. more and more increasing B. still great in society C. becoming less and less D. disappearing as time goes by

2. Most of Madonna‘s fans are young women because ____A_____. A. she controls all aspects of her life and art B. she sells a book of pin-up pictures of herself C. she grabs her crotch on stage

D. she uses her pictures to show that she is sexy

3. It is indicated in the passage that Margaret Thatcher ______C____. A. became successful because she was the only stateswoman among statesmen. B. Thinks male British leaders should have done more to help women C. Thinks her success has nothing to do with the women‘s movement D. Has donated a large sum of money to the women‘s movement 4. The example of Margaret Thatcher shows that _____C_____. A. everyone should support the women‘s movement B. women should learn to work together with men C. one‘s ability should not be judged by sex D. women should not seek to be sexual only 5. The main idea of the passage is ______B____.

A. women have gathered strength from the women‘s movement

3

B. women have achieved a new-found power C. women should take careers to realize their power D. women‘s role should be in the home

(C)

Baldness, the absence of hair on the head, has been divided into five main types by those who study this affliction of human beings. A general thinning of the hair is called partial baldness and an absence of hair in areas usually covered by hair is labeled area baldness. A thinning of the hair which occurs in persons after about fifty years of age is called senile baldness. In this form of partial baldness, the hairline tends to recede, and there is a gradual thinning of the hair over the whole head. Parts of the head, such as the top, may grow completely bald.

Young people may experience what is called premature baldness. And when certain areas of the head become bald while hair over the rest of the scalp continues to grow at a normal rate, the condition is called pattern baldness.

Despite all the research that has been done on the subject, the specific causes of baldness are still unknown. Experts believe that heredity, aging, hormone imbalance and infection have an effect on the loss of hair. The most widespread cause of baldness is heredity, but it affects female members of a family less than males. The women of a bald family are more apt to retain their hair than the men. The females, however, pass on an inherited tendency toward baldness to their male offspring.

Besides the possible cause mentioned above, baldness may result from such infections and diseases as ringworm, dermatitis, typhoid fever and scarlet fever. This type of baldness is usually not permanent, however. Hygiene has been found to be an important factor in baldness. An important cleaning of the scalp may accelerate baldness, while the stimulation from cleansing and brushing helps to delay it. 1. __ B________ does not occur among the aged. A. Partial baldness B. Premature baldness C. Senile baldness D. Area baldness 2. The word ―affliction‖ in the first sentence can be best replaced by __C_______. A. condition B. likeness C. suffering D. existence

3. When certain parts of the head are bald and the hair elsewhere on the scapl grows normally, the condition is ____C______.

A. known as senile baldness B. named premature baldness C. called pattern baldness D. labeled partial baldness 4. When here is an inherited tendency toward baldness in a family, the females ___A____.

A. convey this tendency to their sons B. are as susceptible to baldness as the males C. invariably show evidence of baldness D. rarely, if ever, lose much of their hair 5. Baldness caused by certain fevers is _____A_____.

A. normally temporary in nature B. quite like hereditary baldness C. the result of poor hygiene D. a kind of area baldness

(D)

The ―standard of living‖ of any country means the average person‘s share of the goods and services which the country produces. A country‘s standard of living, therefore, depends first and foremost on its capacity to produce wealth. ―Wealth‖ in this sense is not money, for we do not live on money but on things that money can buy: ―goods‖ such as food and clothing, and ―services‖ such as transport and entertainment. A country‘s capacity to produce wealth depends upon many factors, most of which have an effect on one another. Wealth depends to a great extend upon a country‘s natural resources, such as coal, gold, and other minerals, water supply and so on. Some regions of the world are well supplied with coal and minerals, and have a fertile soil and a favorable climate; other regions possess perhaps only one of these things, and some regions possess none of them. The U.S.A. is one of the wealthiest regions of the world because she has vast natural resources within her borders, her soil is fertile, and her climate is varied. The Sahara Desert, on the other hand, is one of the least wealthy.

Next to natural resources comes the ability to turn them to use. China is perhaps as well off as U.S.A. in natural resources, but suffered for many years from civil and external wars, and for this and other reasons was unable to develop her resources. Sound and stable political conditions, and freedom from foreign invasion, enable a country to develop its natural resources peacefully and steadily, and to produce more wealth than another country equally well served by nature but less well ordered. Another important factor is the technical efficiency of a country‘s people. Old countries that have, through many centuries, trained up numerous skilled craftsmen ad technicians are better placed to produce wealth than countries whose workers are largely unskilled. Wealth also produces wealth. As a country becomes wealthier, its people have a large margin for saving, and can put their savings into factories and machines which will help workers to turn out more goods in their workings day. 1. A country‘s wealth depends on ___D_______.

A. its money B. its standard of living

4

C. its ability to provide transport and entertainment D. its ability to provide goods and services 2. The word ―civil‖ in the second sentence of the second paragraph probably means __C__. A. short and frequent B. long-lasting C. between one part of a country and another D. for the most part 3. The main idea of the second paragraph is that _____C_____. A. the Sahara Desert is a very poor region B. a country‘s wealth depends on many factors

C. natural resources are an important factor in the wealth or poverty of a country D. the U.S.A. is one of the wealthiest countries in the world 4. The second sentence in paragraph 3 is ____D________. A. not related to the paragraph B. the main idea of the paragraph C. the conclusion of the paragraph

D. an example supporting the main idea of the paragraph

5. How many advantages are mentioned in the third paragraph B ? A. Two B. Three C. Four D. Five

D that he could not remember a word of the letter either, the gaoler replied，―The light is indeed dim，sir. I must get my A ‖With this, he hurried off the stage.

What will life be like without animals?

What will life be like without animals

Animals are close friends of human beings. Their existence, especially the existence of rare animals makes the whole world lively and colorful. Unfortunately, we heard such news recently that rare animals, even kept in the zoo, couldn't escape being hurt and killed, at which we can feel nothing but shocked. The reason why it happened is that some people lack understanding about these animals and caring for them.

Therefore, we should study and publicize the information about rare animals, and keep it in mind that protecting animals is the duty of everyone. At the same time, we should take active and effective measures. After all, protecting animals is protecting ourselves.

Reading Comprehension

(A)

Between about 1910 and 1930, new artistic movements in European art were making themselves felt in the United States. American artists became acquainted with the new art on their trips to Paris and at the exhibitions in the famous New York gallery ―291‖( named after its address on Fifth Avenue) of the photographer Alfred Stieglitz. But most important in the spread of the modern movements in the United States was the sensational Armory Show of the 1913 held in New York, in which the works of many of the leading European artists were seen along with the works of a number of progressive American painters.

Several of the American modernists who were influenced by the Armory Show found the urban landscape, especially New York, an appealing subject. Compared with the works of the realist painters, the works of American modernists were much further removed from the actual appearance of the city; they were more interested in the ―feel ― of the city, more concerned with the meaning behind appearance. However, both the painters of the Ash Can School‖ and the later realists were still tied to nineteenth-century or earlier styles, while the early modernists shared in the international breakthroughs of the art of the twentieth century.

The greatest of these breakthroughs was Cubism, developed most fully in France between 1907 and 1914, which brought about a major revolution in Western painting. It overturned the regional tradition that had been built upon since the Renaissance. In cubism, natural forms were broken down analytically into geometric shapes. No longer was a clear differentiation made between the figure and the background of a painting: the objects represented and the surface on which they were painted became one. The Cubists abandoned the conventional single vantage point of the viewer, and objects depicted from multiple viewpoints were shown at the same way. 1. What‘s the main topic of the passage? A A. Modern art movements in the United States. B. The great influence of Cubism.

C. Several American modernists found urban landscape an appealing subject. D. Contemporary artists in the United States.

2. Which of the following is not mentioned as a means through which American artists learned about new movements? B A. Trips to Paris.

B. Lectures by European artists.

C. The exhibitions in the famous New York gallery ―291‖. D. The sensational Armory Show in 1913.

3. What was exhibited on the sensational Armory Show of 1913 in New York? A A. Works of many leading European artists as well as works of many progressive American painters. B. Works of all the European artists and American painters.

C. Works of a number of American modernists and painters of the ―Ash Can School‖.

8

D. Works of European artists only.

4. According to the author, which of the following was a major new movement in twentieth-century art? C A. Impressionism. B. Cubism. C. The rational tradition. D. Realism. 5. What do we know about Cubism?

A. It made a clear differentiation between the figure and the background of a painting. C B. Natural forms were broken down analytically into shape of a square.

C. The object represented and the surface on which they were painted became one. D. The Cubists preserved the conventional single vantage point of the viewer. (B)

A few days ago I asked my sons‘ governess（女家庭教师）Julia to come into my study. ―Be seated, Julia, ‖I said, ―Let‘s settle our accounts. I guess you most likely need some money, but maybe you‘re too polite to mention it. Now then, we agreed on thirty dollars a month...‖ ―Forty.‖

―No, thirty. I made a note of it. I always pay our governess thirty. Well, um, you‘ve been here two months, so...‖ ―Two months and five days.‖

―Exactly two months. I made a special note of it. That means you have sixty dollars coming to you. Take off nine Sundays... you know you didn‘t work with Tom on Sundays, you only took walks. And three holidays... ‖Julia was biting her finger nail nervously, her face red, but - not a word.

―Three holidays, therefore take off twelve dollars. Four days Tom was sick and there were no lessons, as you were occupied only with Dick. Three days you had a toothache and my wife gave you permission not to work after lunch. Twelve and seven - nineteen. Take nineteen off ... that leaves. hmm.... forty one dollars. Correct？‖

Julia‘s left eye reddened with tears welling up. Her chin trembled; she coughed nervously and blew her nose, but - still not a word.

―Around New Year‘s Day you broke a teacup and a saucer; take off two dollars. The cup cost more, it was a treasure of the family, but- forget it. When didn‘t I take a loss! Then, due to your neglect （疏忽）, Tom climbed a tree and tore his jacket; take away ten. Also due to your carelessness the maid stole Dick‘s shoes. You ought to watch everything! You get paid for it. So, that means five more dollars off. The tenth of January I gave ten dollars.‖ ―You didn‘t. ‖sobbed Julia. ―But I made a note of it.‖ ―Well... if you say so.‖

―Take twenty seven from forty one -that leaves fourteen.‖

Both her eyes were filled with tears. Beads of sweat stood on the thin pretty little nose. Poor girl!

―Only once was I given any money,‖ she whispered, her voice trembling, ―and that was by your wife. Three dollars, nothing more.‖ ―Really? You see now, and I didn‘t know that! Take three from fourteen.. leaves eleven. Here‘s your money, my dear. Three, three, three, one and one. Here it is !‖

I handed her eleven dollars. She took them and pocketed them. ―Merci （法语: 谢谢）,‖she whispered.

I jumped to my feet and started pacing the room. I was overcome with anger. ―For what, this - ?merci‘?‖ I asked. ―For the money. ‖

―But you know I‘ve cheated you - robbed you ! I have actually stolen from you ! Why this?merci‘？‖ ―In my other places they didn‘t give me anything at all.‖

―They didn‘t give you anything? No wonder! I played a little joke on you, a cruel lesson, just to teach you... I m going to give you all the eighty dollars! Here they are in the envelope all ready for you... Is it really possible to be so spineless （懦弱）?Why didn‘t you protest? Why were you silent? Is it possible in this world to be without teeth and claws（爪）—to be such a fool?‖ Embarrassed, she smiled. And I could read her expression,―It is possible.‖

I asked her pardon for the cruel lesson and, to her great surprise, gave her the eighty dollars. She murmured her little―merci‖several times and went out. I looked after her and thought,―How easy it is to crush the weak in this world !‖ 1．While talking to Julia, the wrier expected from her ___A_____.

Animals other than humans have not developed communications comparable to human language. But is it possible that other animals have the capacity to learn a language if they are adequately taught? Obviously, this is a fascination notion. The idea of communicating directly with another species has long been a part of human folklore and children‘s fantasies. But on a scientific level, the question of whether animals can learn a language is important primarily because it relates to the controversy()between the cognitive and the learning approaches to language. If language is dependent on and is actually an outgrowth of the intellectual structure of the human mind, there is the strong supposition that only humans are capable of using language. Therefore, Noam Chomsky and other psycholinguists have argued that only humans can learn a language, while most behaviorists feel that with sufficient patience it should be possible to teach an animal some sort of language. Although the two schools of thought clearly differ on this point, it is not really a crucial test of the two theories. If a chimpanzee can master a simple language all it would mean is that the chimp‘s intellectual capacity and brain structure are more similar to ours than we thought. It would not necessarily imply that our intellectual structure is unimportant in our own mastery of language. Thus, teaching an animal language is an impressive demonstration of the power of learning techniques, but it is not evidence that language is developed entirely through learning.

On the other hand, the question of whether other animals can learn a language is fascination in its own right, aside from its value as a test of the two theories of language development. Accordingly, whatever one‘s position on the theoretical dispute, we must consider training an animal to use language a dramatic accomplishment.

1. Which of the following statements is the view of psycholinguists? A A. The cognitive view of language learning says that only human beings can learn language because it is an outgrowth of the structure of the human mind . B. Other animals simply could master a language.

C. The animals intellectual capacity is much better than human beings. D. Language is developed by learning. 2. The behaviorists‘ view is that ___C_______. A. language is actually an outgrowth of intellectual structure of the animal‘s mind B. animals have not developed communications system

C. given enough patience, a man should be able to teach an animal some sort of language D. only human beings can learn language

3. That an animal can master a simple language means that _____B_____. A. human‘s intellectual structure is not important

B. animals‘ intellectual capacity and brain structure are more similar to the humans‘ C. the learning techniques are much more important D. language is developed completely by learning 4. The main idea of paragraph two is _____D______. A. teaching a chimp language is not crucial test of the two theories B. their brain structure is not similar to human

10

C. using various methods to let the chimp master a language

D. training a nonhuman to use language is an amazing accomplishment 5. The best title for this passage would be __D_______. A. Animals‘ language B. Human‘s language C. Teaching Animals‘ Language

D. Can Other Animals Acquire Language?

(D)

Increasingly , over the past ten years, people ---especially young people --- have become aware of the need to change their eating habits, because much of the food they eat, particularly processed foods, is not good for the health. Consequently, there has been a growing interest in natural foods: foods which do not contain chemical additives and which have not been affected by chemical fertilizers widely used in farming today.

Natural foods, for example, are vegetables, fruit and grain which have been grown in soil that is rich in organic matter. In simple terms, this means that the soil has been nourished by unused vegetable matter, which provides it with essential vitamins and minerals. This in itself is a natural process compared with the use of chemicals and fertilizers, the main purpose of which is to increase the amount but not the quality of foods grown in commercial farming areas.

Natural foods also include animals which have been allowed to feed and move freely in healthy pastures. Compare this with what happens in the mass production of poultry: there are battery farms, for example, where thousands of chickens live crowded together in one building and are fed on food which is little better than rubbish. Chickens kept in this way are not only tasteless as food; they also produce eggs which lack important vitamins.

There are other aspects of healthy eating which are now receiving increasing attention from experts on diet. Take, for example, the question of sugar. This is actually a nonessential food! Although a natural alternative, such as honey, can be used to sweeten food it this necessary, we can in fact do without it. It is not that sugar is harmful in itself. But it does seem to be additive: the quantity we use has grown steadily over the last centuries and in Britain today each person consumes an average of 200 pounds a year! Yet all it does is provide us with energy, in the form of calories. There are no vitamins in it, no minerals and no fiber.

It is significant that nowadays fiber is considered to be an important part of a healthy diet. In white bread, for example, the fiber has been removed. But it is present in unrefined flour and of course in vegetables. It is interesting to note that in countries where the national diet contains large quantities of unrefined flour and vegetables, certain diseases are comparatively rare. Hence the emphasis is placed on the eating of whole meal bread and more vegetables by modern experts on ―healthy eating‖.

1. Which statement best expresses the main idea of this article? B A. People should eat any food to keep themselves healthy and strong. B. People should eat natural foods to keep themselves healthy and strong. C. People should eat fiber foods to keep themselves healthy and strong. D. People should eat vegetables to keep themselves healthy and strong. 2. ―Particularly processed foods‖ means ______A_____.

A. foods which are particularly processed by adding chemical additives B. foods which are particularly made by commercial farms C. foods which are specially produced by commercial factories D. foods which are not specially made by adding anything 3. Natural foods means _____D____. A. foods good for health B. foods not good for health

C. foods such as vegetables, fruit and grain from rich organic matters soil D. crops from rich organic matters soil and meats of animals from health pastures 4. There are no vitamins, no minerals and no fibers in __C_______.

A. natural foods B. sugar C. animal meats D. fruit 5. ―Yet all it does is provide us with energy, in the form of calories‖ It means __C___.

11

A. processed food provides us with energy

B. natural food furnishes us with vitamins and minerals C. sugar gives us enough energy in the form of calories fiber helps us to digest food

学会感恩(Learn To Thanksgiving)

We are supposed to express our gratitude to others on Thanksgiving Day. However, we should feel gratitude every day. God has two dwellings, one in heaven, and the other in a meek and thankful heart. Be grateful to others is a way to show your love. In our daily life, we often receive help from our parents, friends, colleagues and strangers. Perhaps it is a little thing, pick up the pen you drop, lift a heavy box for you or offer you a seat in the bus. We should be thankful to them for whatever they have done. The more love you give, the more love you receive.

II. Reading Comprehension

(A)

Without proper planning, tourism can cause problems. For example, too many tourists can crowd public places that are also enjoyed by the inhabitants of a country. If tourists create too much traffic, the inhabitants become annoyed and unhappy. They begin to dislike tourists and to treat them impolitely. They forget how much tourism can help the country‘s economy. It is important to think about the people of a destination

14

country and how tourism affects them. Tourism should help a country, keep the customs and beauty that attract tourists. Tourism should also advance the wealth and happiness of local inhabitants.

Too much tourism can be a problem. If tourism grows too quickly, people must leave other jobs to work in the tourism industry. This means that other parts of the country‘s economy can suffer.

On the other hand, if there is not enough tourism, people can lose jobs. Businesses can also lose money. It costs a great deal of money to build large hotels, airports, air terminals, first- class roads, and other support facilities（配套设施）needed by tourist attractions. For example, a major international class tourism hotel can cost as much as 50 thousand dollars per room to build. If this room is not used most of the time, the owners of the hotel lose money.

Building a hotel is just a beginning. There must be many support facilities as well, including roads to get to the hotel, electricity, sewers to handle waste, and water. All of these support facilities cost money. If they are not used because there are not enough tourists , jobs and money are lost.

1．Which of the following do you think has been discussed in the part before this selection？ D A. It is extremely important to develop tourism. B. Building roads and hotels is essential. C. Support facilities are highly necessary. D. Planning is of great importance to tourism.

2．The underlined word― inhabitants‖ （in Paragraph 1 ） probably means__D______. A. tourists B. passengers C. population D. citizens 3．Too much tourism can cause all these problems EXCEPT _____B___ . A. a bad effect on other industries B. a change of tourists‘ customs C. over - crowdedness of places of interest D. pressure on traffic 4．It can be inferred from the text that ____B____ . A. the author doesn‘t like tourism developing so fast B. local people will benefit from tourist attraction

C. other parts of a country‘s economy won‘t benefit from tourism much D. we can't build too many support facilities

5．The author thinks it is good for local people to know that tourism will ___D_____ .

A. waste a lot of money B. weaken their economy C. help establish their customs D. help improve their life

(B)

Cultural differences largely determine differences in the way the elderly are treated by others. In the Oriental, Middle Eastern, African, and American Indian cultures, for example, young men are expected to be aggressive and strive for success in the real world, while old men devote themselves to the supernatural, old men were usually venerated() in preliterate societies, often becoming chiefs. Women in many societies followed the opposite pattern, moving from passivity to greater assertiveness with advancing age.

Long life and experience make elderly people a valued source of knowledge in some cultures, but in technologically advanced societies the rising number of elderly has decreased their ―scarcity value‖. At the same time, their children and grandchildren have increasingly turned to mass communications media, schools, and libraries as superior sources of information. This has resulted in diminishing the prestige of the aged. The increasing proportion of elderly people in many countries will have a widespread impact on society. Growing demands on financial, welfare, medical, recreational, and environmental resources and large number of nonworking individuals dependent on the working population will necessitate many changes in social systems.

6. The main subject of this passage is ______B____. A. the importance of old people B. the social role of old people C. the attitudes towards old people D. the concerns about old people 7. This passage is developed by ___B_______. A. analogy B. comparison C. hypothesis test D. problem solving

8. What is the reason for the decrease of old people‘s ―scarcity value‖ in developed nations? A

15

A. The rising number of the elderly. B. The decreasing number of the elderly. C. The poor health of the elderly. D. Old people lack modern knowledge.

9. The pronoun ―this‖ in line 13 stands for ___C____. A. the rising number of old people B. the growing demands on resources

C. the availability of mass communications media, schools, and libraries as superior sources of information D. long life and experience of the elderly 10. This passage is aimed to _____D_____.

A. introduce the social role of old people

B. compare the different treatment old people receive in history and modern societies C. arouse public attention to the fate of elderly people ?

D. arouse public concern about the social impact of increasing population of the elderly E.

In science the meaning of the word ―explain‖ suffers with civilization‘s every step in search of reality. Science cannot really explain electricity, magnetism, and gravitation; their effects can be measured and predicted, but of their nature no more is known to the modern scientist than to Thales who first speculated on the electrification of amber. Most contemporary physicists reject the notion that man can ever discover what these mysterious forces‖really‖ are. ―Electricity‖, Bertrand Russell says, ― is not a thing, like St. Paul‘s Cathedral; it is a way in which things behave. When we have told how things behave when they are electrified, and under what circumstances they are electrified, we have told all there is to tell.‖ Until recently scientists would have disapproved to such an idea.

Aristotle, for example, whose natural science dominated Western thought for two thousand years, believed that man could arrive at an understanding of reality by reasoning from self-evident principles. He felt, for example, that it is a self-evident principle that everything in the universe has the ground because that‘s where it belongs. The goal of Aristotelian science was to explain why things happen. Modern science was born when Galileo began trying to explain how things happen and thus originated the method of controlled experiment which now forms the basis of scientific investigation.

11. The aim of the controlled experiment is ______B_____. A. to explain why things happen B. to explain how things happen

C. to form the basis of scientific investigation. D. to prove accepted theories

12. What principles most influenced scientific thought for two thousand years? C A. Thales‘ speculations. B. Self-evident principles. C. Aristotle‘s natural science. D. Russell‘s theory on electricity.

13. Bertrand Russell‘s notion about electricity is ___D_______. A. disapproved of by most modern scientists

B. in agreement with Aristotle‘s theory of self-evident principles C. disagreed by Galileo‘s theory

D. supported by scientific investigation directed toward ―how‖things happen

14. The passage says that until recently scientists disagreed with the idea that ___A______.

A. man can‘t discover what forces ―really‖ are B. there are mysterious forces in the universe C. there are self-evident principles

D. we can discover why things behave as they do

16

15. According to Aristotle, that objects fall to the ground ____B______. is a result of reasoning

could be explained from self-evident principles is an instance of self-evident principle could be tested by experience

(D)

We are all familiar with magnets. The Chinese knew about them in the eleventh century. But the earth itself is also a magnet, with a magnetic North and a magnetic South.

No one really understands very much about the earth‘s magnetism, although many people have written about it. Scientists believe the center of the earth is like an enormous magnet, giving out a steady magnetic force. This slowly moves away from the center and up to the surface. By the time it reaches the surface the force is really very weak.

Magnetism is measured by a unit called the gauss. The earth‘s magnetic force is much weaker. It measures about 0.7 gauss at the North and South Poles. The weakest point is near Rio de Janeiro at 0.3 gauss.

Many scientists now believe the magnetism of the earth may have a strong influence on life itself. In the distant past many kinds of animals and plants died out suddenly, when the North and South magnetic Poles changed position.

Animals, birds and even people are to some extent controlled by magnetic forces. When there is a sudden increase in magnetic strength, many animals have difficulty finding their way. Mice ,placed near a strong magnet, lose their hair and die early. And when the earth‘s magnetism suddenly decreases, the number of men or women who kill themselves increases.

How much does the earth‘s magnetism control our lives? We can not know for certain. We do know this magnetism is getting weaker and we know that in 2500 years the magnetic poles may change position again. And we know when this happened in the past there were enormous changes in life on Earth.

16. Which one of the following statements is true? B A. The earth is a magnet with many magnetic poles. B. The earth has a very feeble magnet.

C. The Chinese knew about magnets as far back as eleven centuries ago. D. It‘s not clear whether the earth‘s magnet has any impact on its beings. 17. What is true about the center of the earth? C A. Science has proved that the center of the earth is an enormous magnet. B. The center of the earth gives out a very weak magnetic force.

C. The center of the earth has the strongest magnetic force than elsewhere. D. The magnetic force at the center of the earth is unstable.

18. According to the passage, what will happen if the magnetic force of the earth increase suddenly? A

A. Doves will not be able to find their way back. B. People will commit suicide.

C. People will become mad and abnormal. D. Rats will reproduce very rapidly.

19.According to the passage, the magnetic force of the earth ____C_____.

A. is controlling more and more people B. is disappearing little by little C. is becoming weaker and weaker D. is hard to predict

20. What does the author imply in the last sentence of the passage? A

A. There will be great changes in life in the future. B. Animals will die out in the future. C. The human race will die out in 2500 years. D. The earth will meet its ruin.

Competition and Cooperation 1) Competition is a common phenomenon in our social life.

Competition is a common phenomenon in our society . We compete when we play games, we try to do better than others in

our study, and there is constant competition for jobs, fame, wealth and so forth. Therefore,we can say that, in a certain sense, competition is one of the motive forces of the development of our modern society.

2) We often find competition and cooperation at the same time.

It is often believed, that competition and cooperation are in opposition to each other. Some people stress competition,

without which, in their eyes, there is no responsibility, no drive and ultimately, no progress. Others advocate cooperation whatever they do. They are of the opinion that the dependence of people on one another has increased, without which the society we live in can not keep going smoothly. In reality, we find that in many cases competition goes hand in hand with cooperation. Lets take a football game for example. During the game, one team is competing against the other, but each member of the team must cooperate with his teammates. Otherwise, they would lose the game no matter how skillful each individual player might be. It is clear that competition has much to do with cooperation.

3) While we are advocating competition, we can not forget cooperation.

As far as I'm concerned, I do not agree with the view that competition and cooperation are always in conflict with each other.

In my opinion, while advocating competition. We should never forget cooperation. In our social life, cooperation is especially necessary because most work is fulfilled with or through other people. So Ive come to the conclusion that competition are equally important.

Passage Two

Questions 26 to 30 are based on the following passage.

It is all very well to blame traffic jams, the cost of petrol and the quick pace of modern life, but manners on the roads are becoming horrible. You might tolerate the rude and inconsiderate driver, but nowadays the well-mannered motorist is the exception to the rule. Perhaps the situation calls for a \

Road politeness is not only good manners, but good sense too. It takes the most cool-headed and good-tempered of drivers to resist the temptation to revenge when subjected to uncivilized behaviors. On the other hand, a little politeness goes a long way towards relieving the tensions of motoring. A friendly nod or a wave of acknowledgement in response to an act of politeness helps to create an atmosphere of goodwill and tolerance so necessary in modem traffic conditions. But such acknowledgements of politeness are all too rare today. Many drivers nowadays don't even seem able to recognize politeness when they see it.

However, improper politeness can also be dangerous. A typical example is the driver who waves a child across a crossing into the path of oncoming vehicles that may be unable to stop in time. The same goes for encouraging old ladies to cross the road wherever and whenever they care to.

A veteran driver, whose manners are faultless, told me it would help if motorists learn to filter correctly into

traffic streams one at a time without causing the total blockages() that give rise to bad temper. Unfortunately, modern motorists can't even learn to drive, let alone be well-mannered on the road. Years ago the experts warned us that the car-ownership explosion would demand a lot more give-and-take from all road users. It is high time for all of us to take this message to heart. 26. According to this passage, troubles on the road are primarily caused by____C_______. A)people's attitude towards drivers B)the rhythm of modern life C)the behavior of the driver D)traffic conditions

27. The sentence \

implies that____D_______.

A)our Society is unjust towards well-mannered motorists B)rude drivers can be met only occasionally

C)the well-mannered motorist cannot tolerate the rude driver D)nowadays impolite drivers constitute the majority of motorists 28.By \_____A______. A) the driver's ability to understand and react reasonably B)the driver's prompt response to difficult conditions C) the driver's tolerance of bad road conditions

D)the driver's acknowledgement of politeness and regulations

29. Experts have long pointed out that in the face of car-ownership explosion, ____B_______. A)road users should make more sacrifices B)drivers should be ready to yield to one another C)drivers should have more communication among themselves D)drivers will suffer a great loss if they pay no respect to others 30. In the writer's opinion, _______B____.

26

A)strict traffic regulations are badly needed B)drivers should apply road politeness properly C)rude and inconsiderate drivers should be punished D)drivers should try their best to avoid traffic jams

Passage Three

Questions 31 to 35 are based on the following passage.

Is it possible to persuade mankind to live without war? War is an ancient institution which has existed for at least six thousand years. It was always wicked and usually foolish, but in the past the human race managed to live with it. Modern ingenuity has changed this. Either Man will abolish war, or war will abolish man. For the present, it is nuclear weapons that cause the gravest danger, but bacteriological or chemical weapons may, before long, offer an even greater threat. If we succeed in abolishing nuclear weapons, our work will not be done. It will never be done until we have succeeded in abolishing war. To do this, we need to persuade mankind to look upon international questions in a new way, not as contests of force, in which the victory goes to the side which is most skillful in massacre, but by arbitration in accordance with agreed principles of law. It is not easy to change age-old mental habits, but this is what must be attempted.

There are those who say that the adoption of this or that ideology would prevent war. I believe this to be a profound error. All ideologies are based upon dogmatic assertions which are, at best, doubtful and at worst, totally false. Their adherents believe in them so fanatically that they are willing to go to war in support of them.

The movement of world opinion during the past two years had been very largely such as we can welcome. It has become a commonplace that nuclear wars must be avoided. Of course very difficult problems remain in the international sphere, but the spirit in which they are being approached is a better one than it was some years ago. It has begun to be thought, even by the powerful men who decide whether we shall live or die, that negotiations should reach agreements even if both sides do not find these agreements wholly satisfactory. It has begun to be understood that the important conflict nowadays is not between East and West, but between Man and the H-bomb. 31. According to the author____C_______. A)it is impossible to live without war at present

B)war is the only way to settle international disagreements C)our way of thinking must change if we want to survive D)war will be abolished by modern ingenuity

32. By saying \____B_______. A)will help abolish war B)have put mankind in grave danger C) have made war less wicked and foolish D)have persuaded mankind to live without war 33. The word \______B_____.

A ) skeptic B ) supporter C ) initiator D ) opposition faction 34. The author believes that the only way to abolish war is to D

A)abolish nuclear and chemical weapons B)let the stronger side take over the world C)improve bacteriological and chemical weapons D)settle international issue through arbitration 35. The last paragraph suggests that_____C____. A) nuclear war will definitely not take place

B) international agreements are now reached more and more easily C)man is beginning to realize that war is his greatest enemy D)world opinion is in favour of nuclear war being replaced

Passage Four

Questions 36 to 40 are based on the following passage.

It is said that the public and Congressional concern about deceptive packaging rumpus started because Senator Hart discovered that the

boxes of cereals consumed by him, Mrs. Hart, and their children were becoming higher and narrower, with a decline of net weight from 12 to 10 1/2 ounces, without any reduction in price. There were still twelve biscuits, but they had been reduced in size. Later, the Senator rightly complained of a store-bought pie in a handsomely illustrated box that pictured, in a single slice, almost as many cherries as there were in the whole pie.

27

The manufacturer who increases the unit price of his product by changing his package size to lower the quantity delivered can, without

undue hardship, put his product into boxes, bags, and tins that will contain even 4-ounce, 8-ounce, one-pound, two-pound quantities of breakfast foods, cake mixes, etc. A study of drugstore and supermarket shelves will convince any observers that all possible sizes and shapes of boxes, jars, bottles, and tins are in use at the same time, and, as the package journals show, week by week, there is never any hesitation in introducing a new size and shape of box or bottle when it aids in product differentiation. The producers of packaged products argue strongly against changing sizes of packages to contain even weights and volumes, but no one in the trade comments unfavorably on the huge costs incurred by endless changes of package sizes, materials, shape, art work, and net weights that are used for improving a product's market position. When a packaging expert explained that he was able to multiply the price of hard sweets by 2.5, from $1 to

$ 2.5 by changing to a fancy jar, or that he had made a 5-ounce bottle look as though it held 8 ounces, he was in effect telling the public that packaging can be a very expensive luxury. It evidently does come high, when an average filmily pays about $ 200 a year from bottles, cans, boxes, jars and other containers, most of which can't be used for anything but stuffing the garbage can.

36. What started the public and Congressional concern about deceptive packaging rumpus? C A)Consumers' complaints about the changes in package size. B) Expensive packaging for poor quality products. C)A Senator's discovery of the tricks in packaging. D)The rise in the unit price for many products. 37. The word \____D_______.

A) improper B ) adequate C ) unexpected D ) excessive 38. Consumers are concerned about the changes in package size mainly because_____B______. A) they hate to see any changes in things they are familiar with B)the unit price for a product often rises as a result C)they have to pay for the Cost of changing package sizes D) this entails an increase in the cost of packaging

39. According to this passage, various types of packaging come into existence to___C________. A)meet the needs of consumers B)suit all kinds of products C)enhance the market position of products D) introduce new products 40. The author is critical mainly of____A_______. A) dishonest packaging B) inferior packaging

C)tbe changes in package size D) exaggerated illustration on packages

East or West, Home is the Best

There is a general debate about where is the best place for people. Some people may think that golden hotels are best because we can enjoy a lot in it. But as far as I'm concerned, the best place is our home, as the saying goes East or west, home is best . The proverb means that our home is the warmest place for us. If we feel tired, the best place for us is to go home. We can talk to our parents or our lover about our difficulties. So if we can follow the proverb we will surely benefit a lot.

The famous people is no exception. For instance, Mary Curie regards home as the best place. Even though she's very busy, she'd like to spend some time with her children and her husband. So she has a wonderful family.

In a word, home is very essential in our road of life. I will cherish my family relationship and love my family members forever.

A

In 1960 Khrushchev headed a group to visit Indonesia and was warmly treated by his hosts. Once in Jakarta the hosts treated the guests to a special fruit, the durian. President Sukarno picked one, took a bite and handed it to Khrushchev. Just then, Khrushchev noticed that all the Indonesians present were staring at him, whispering. Obviously something funny was going to happen. Puzzled, he took over the fruit and immediately a very terrible smell attacked his nose, which nearly made him sick. Being a good guest, he braced himself up and took a small bite with great care. To his surprise, he found the fruit to be uncommonly delicious. He was so impressed by this strange fruit that he decided to let his colleagues (同事) in Moscow have a taste of it too. So he sent by air one share for each member of the Presidium.

If US software(软件) companies don‘t pay more attention to quality, they could kiss their business good-bye. Both India and Brazil are developing a world-class software industry. Their weapon is quality and one of their jobs is to attract the top US quality specialists whose voices are not listened to in their country.

Already, of the world‘s 12 software houses that have earned the highest position in the world, seven are in India. That‘s largely because they have used new methods American software specialists refused to use. For example, for years, quality specialists, W. Edwards Deming and J.M. Juran had tried to persuade US software companies to change their attitudes to quality. But their quality call mainly fell on deaf ears in the US--but not in Japan. By the 1970s and 1980s, Japan was taking its market share with better, cheaper products. They used Deming‘s and Juran‘s ideas to bring down the cost of good quality to as little as 5% of total production costs. In US factories, the cost of quality then was 10 times as high: 50%. In software, it still is.

Watts S. Humphrey spent 27 years at IBM heading up software production and then quality assurance(保证). But his advice was seldom paid attention to. He retired from IBM in 1986. In 1987, he worked out a system for assessing(评估) and improving software quality. It has proved its value time and again. For example, in 1990 the cost of quality at Raytheon Electronics Systems was almost 60 % of total software production costs. It fell to 15% in 1996 and has since further dropped to below 10 %.

Like Deming and Juran, Humphrey seems to be winning more praises overseas than at home. The Indian government and several companies have just founded the Watts Humphrey Software Quality Institute at the Software Technology Park in Chennai, India. Let‘s hope that US lead in software will not be eaten up by its quality problems.

60. Which country has the most first-class software companies in the world? D A. Germany. B. The USA. C. Brazil. D. India. 61. Which of the following statements about Humphrey is true? D A. He is now still an IBM employer. B. He has worked for IBM for 37 years. C. The US pays much attention to his quality advice. D. India honors him highly.

62. By what means did Japan take its large market share by the 1970s and the 1980s? A A. Its products were cheaper in, price and better in quality. B. Its advertising was most successful.

C. The US hardware industry was falling behind. D. Japan hired a lot of Indian software specialists. 63. What is the writer worrying about? C A. Many US software specialists are working for Japan. B. The quality problem has become a worldwide problem. C. The US will lose its lead in software in the world. D. India and Japan are joining hands to compete with the US.

Two high school students Dylan Klebold and Eric Harris made a series of home videos leading up to their killings of fellow students at Columbine High School in Colorado.

Time Magazine viewed the video tapes, and reports that Klebold and Harris expressed hatred for nearly all their schoolmates. Kelbold said on one tape, ―I hope we kill 250 of you.‖ At lunchtime on April 20, Kelbold and Harris opened fire, and went on to kill 12 other students and one teacher before taking their own lives.

Time says the tapes--made over a five-week period before the violent(暴力的) act--make it clear that Klebold and Harris felt alienated and wanted revenge(报复) against those who disliked playing together with them or laughed at them--mainly the Columbine sports students. The magazine says the only regret that the shooters show on the tapes is when Harris admits that his and Klebold‘s parents would be ―put through hell(地狱)once we do this.‖ But he said, ―there‘s nothing you guys (the parents)could have done to prevent this.‖ Klebold said, ―I‘m sorry I have so much anger in my heart.‖ Harris talked of having to move often with his family, starting over each time al the bottom of the social ladder, where people made fun of ―my face, my hair, my shirts‖. Time reports Klebold and Harris saw the attacks as a way to get ―the respect we should‖, Klebold said directors ―will be fighting over this story‖. FBI agent Mark Holstlaw told Time: ―They wanted to be famous. And they are. They‘re infamous.‖

68. This passage mainly tells us about B

A. the lives of two high school students B. an example of school violence in the USA C. the techniques of making a home video D. the Time magazine‘s reports 69. Klebold and Harris made the attack as __ C

A. an achievement B. a skillfully-carried-out plan C. a way of revenge D. a beginning of all their work 70. What does the underlined word ―alienated‖( paragraph 3 )mean? D A. discouraged B. ashamed C. tired D. separated 71. The two boys regretted their deeds only C

For more than two days in September 1974, the people of Honduras shut their windows, locked their doors and stayed in their homes. Fifi

36

was outside, and they were frightened.

8,000 people had been dead when Fifi left. Fifi wasn‘t a pet dog as the name suggests. It was a hurricane, one of the most destructive natural

phenomena（现象）in the world.

Why do we give human names to wind and rain and cloud? We didn‘t always. Two hundred years ago, many hurricanes in the Caribbean

were named after the saint‘s day（圣徒逝世忌日）on which the storm occurred. Later, storms were known by the name of the city where they came ashore. Experts then tried naming storms after the latitude（纬度）and longitude where they occurred. Finally, in 1953, hurricanes started getting people‘s names—specifically, female names. Male names were added in 1979.

There are six sets of names for what the experts call ―Atlantic tropical cyclones （热带气旋）‖. Each list is used every six years and consists

of 21 names, starting with every letter but Q,U, X,Y and Z. Male names and female names are used in turn. A storm won‘t get a name until its winds reach 39mph or about 62. 4kph, at which point it becomes a tropical storm. At 74mph or 118.4kph it‘s declared a hurricane.

The names on the list are used only for storms that form off the Atlantic coast of the US. There are separate lists for the Pacific. So what

happens if a hurricane should cross from the Atlantic to the Pacific? It‘s happened before. The storm just gets a new name and sometimes a new sex. Max Mayfield is the director of the National Hurricane Centre, in Miami, Florida. He‘s in charge of picking new names for storms off the Atlantic coast. He and the experts in two dozen other countries in the Caribbean, North America vote on what names will replace retired names. In 2007, for example, Andrea, and Melissa will take the place of Allison, and Michelle. ―If we have a hurricane that causes a large loss of life or damage, a country will request that name be retired, he said. Sometimes, people write in to suggest names for hurricanes. Mayfield said they got a letter from a man in Florida, who wanted them to name a hurricane after his first wife. He said it had to be a hurricane that caused terrible damage .The world would know what he had experienced living with the woman for 18 years.

72. Which of the following is most likely to be the name of a hurricane or a storm before 1979? C

A. Arthur

B. Peter

C. Shirley

D. Honduras

73. We may learn from the text that A .

A. all storms don‘t get their names B. in 2007, the experts will make new name lists C. only Mayfield decides which name to choose

D. experts use names mostly suggested by people

74. How long can the six sets of names be used? D

A. 126 years.

B. 6 years

C. 21 years

D. 36 years

75. The man in Florida suggested naming a hurricane after his first wife because he wanted to D .

A. express his deep love for her

B. show his sadness after losing her

C. make her known by the people in Florida D. tell people how unhappily he was living with her

How to Protect Our Environment

live in the world every day. We eat food, drink water, wear clothes, watch TV, use computers and so on. We are producing waste every moment.

Generally speaking, there are four sorts of waste. They are material waste, organic waste, inorganic waste and poisonous & harmful waste. Now, we are going to talk about each sort of waste one by one.

Material waste: it means the waste of substance or things from which something else can be made. For example, people throw away the used metal products and buy a new one, so the old metal waste accumulates. At last, they become waste. For example, when people finish reading newspaper, the paper will become waste. When the glass is broken, it also becomes waste. Nobody wants to use a broken window or drink with a broken glass or wear a pair of broken glasses. Once it is broken, it becomes waste. The rate of using plastics is increasing day by day. People use plastic bags because they are convenient. When they get home, they throw the plastics way, paying no attention to the environment. The more convenience plastics brings to us, the more plastic waste is produced. This is called “white pollution” as most plastics are white. Some of our products we use every day are made of rubber, just like the tyres and the bottom part of our shoes. It’s true that rubber plays an important role in our life. However, it also brings us some trouble when it has been used for a long time and becomes old. The old tyres become waste because it can’t break down by nature. This is really a big problem.

Organic waste: it refers to waste from living things, including waste from animals, plants and people. Some parts of vegetables are thrown away as waste because they don’t taste good. In the past, people cooked their food using burning coal, so there left the

37

burned coal, which is useless, like the thrown vegetables. All this sorts of waste contain organism, so it is called organic waste. Actually, we also have inorganic waste, the opposite to organic waste, including building waste, broken pottery and china, and cinder.

The last part is harmful and poisonous waste, such as used batteries, electrical apparatus and medical supplies. Computers and TV sets are one part of electrical apparatus. You see, the old electrical apparatus can set off some dangerous rays and make the soil harder, even damage the under ground water. Mobile phones are as dangerous as computers and TV sets. As we know, X-rays can be used to examine patients, but the X-rays machines are dangerous when they are thrown away without any treatment. They can’t be used to treat the sick, but they still can give off rays. For the normal people, they can be dangerous. So, we must think about this problem.

As waste has four sorts, we can sort them into each sort that they belong to. It’s convenient to treat them after they are sorted. Then we can deal with them sort by sort. We have thought out some methods like storing them in order to change them into plant food, or burning them in a huge stove and use the heat to make electricity. For the first way, the change rate is much too low and it may pollute the under ground water. For the second one, of course it’s wonderful if it’s easy to be tried out. But to build such a huge stove will cost too much. Not a good method. Now you see, treating waste is not an easy job.

A

In 1939 two brothers, Mac and Dick McDonald, started a drive-in restaurant in San Bernadino, California. They carefully chose a busy corner for their location. They had run their own businesses for years, first a theater, then a barbecue（烤肉）restaurant., then another drive-in. But in their new operation, they offered a new, shortened menu: French fries, hamburgers, and sodas. To this small selection they added one new concept: quick service, no waiters or waitresses, and no tips.

Their hamburgers sold for fifteen cents. Cheese was another four cents. Their French fries and hamburgers had a remarkable uniformity, for the brothers had developed a strict routine for the preparation of their food, and they insisted on their cooks‘ sticking to their routine. Their new drive-in became incredibly popular, particularly for lunch. People drove up by the hundreds during the busy noontime. The self-service restaurant was so popular that the brothers had allowed ten copies of their restaurant to be opened. They were content with this modest success until they met Ray Kroc.

Kroc was a salesman who met the McDonald brothers in 1954, when he was selling milkshake-mixing machines. He quickly saw the unique appeal of the brothers‘ fast-food restaurants and bought the right to franchise（特许经营）other copies of their restaurants. The agreement struck included the right to duplicate the menu. The equipment, even their red and white buildings with the golden arches（拱门）.

Today McDonald‘s is really a household name. Its names for its sandwiches have come to mean hamburger in the decades since the day Ray Kroc watched people rush up to order fifteen-cent hamburgers. In 1976, McDonald‘s had over $ 1 billion in total sales. Its first twenty-two years is one of the most incredible success stories in modern American business history. 1. This passage mainly talks abort_______C_____. A) the development of fast food services B) how McDonald‘s became a billion-dollar business C) the business careers of Mac and Dick McDonald D) Ray Kroc‘s business talent 2. Mac and Dick managed all of the following businesses except_____B_______. A) a drive-in B) a cinema C) a theater D) a barbecue restaurant 3. We may infer from this passage that____D________. A) Mac and Dick McDonald never became wealthy for they sold their idea to Kroc

B) The location the McDonalds chose was the only source of the great popularity of their drive-in C) Forty years ago there were numerous fast-food restaurants D) Ray Kroc was a good businessman 4. The passage suggests that_____A______. A) creativity is an important element of business success B) Ray Kroc was the close partner of the McDonald brothers

C) Mac and Dick McDonald became broken after they sold their ideas to Ray Kroc D) California is the best place to go into business

5. As used in the second sentence of the third paragraph, the word ‖unique‖ means D . A) special B) attractive C) financial D) peculiar

B

You‘re busy filling out the application form for a position you really need; let‘s assume you once actually completed a couple of years of college work or even that you completed your degree. Isn‘t it tempting to lie just a little, to claim on the form that your diploma represents a Harvard degree? Or that you finished an extra couple of years back at State University? More and more people are turning to utter deception like this to land their job or to move ahead in their careers, for personnel officers, like most Americans, value degrees from famous schools. A job applicant may have a good education anyway, but he or she assumes that chances of being hired are better with a diploma from a well-known university. Registrars at most well-known colleges say they deal with deceitful claims like these at the rate of about one per week.

Personnel officers do check up on degrees listed on application forms, then . If it turns out that an applicant is lying, most colleges are reluctant to accuse the applicant directly. One Ivy League school calls them ―impostors 骗子‖; another refers to

41

them as ―special cases.‖ one well-known West Coast school, in perhaps the most delicate phrase of all, says that these claims are made by ―no such people.‖

To avoid outright (彻底的) lies, some job-seekers claim that they ―attended‖ or ―were associated with‖ a college or university. After carefully checking, a personnel officer may discover that ―attending‖ means being dismissed after one semester. It may be that ―being associated with‖ a college means that the job – seeker visited his younger brother for a football weekend. One school that keeps records of false claims says that the practice dates back at least to the turn of the century – that‘s when they began keeping records, anyhow.

If you don‘t want to lie or even stretch the truth, there are companies that will sell you a phony （假的）diploma. One company, with offices in New York and on the West Coast, will put your name on a diploma from any number of nonexistent colleges. The price begins at around twenty dollars for a diploma from ―Smoot State University.‖ The prices increase rapidly for a degree from the ―University of Purdue.‖ As there is no Smoot State and the real school in Indiana is properly called Purdue University, the prices seem rather high for one sheet of paper. 6. The main idea of this passage is that____B________. A) employers are checking more closely on applicants now B) lying about college degrees has become a widespread problem C) college degrees can now be purchased easily D) employers are no longer interested in college degrees

7. According to the passage, ―special cases‖ refers to cases where_____C______ . A) students attend a school only part-time

B) students never attended a school they listed on their application C) students purchase false degrees from commercial films D) students attended a famous school

8. We can infer from the passage that______D______ . A) performance is a better judge of ability that a college degree B) experience is the best teacher

C) past work histories influence personnel officers more than degrees do

D)a degree from a famous school enables an applicant to gain advantage over others in job competition 9. This passage implies that ______D______. A) buying a false degree is not moral

B) personnel officers only consider applicants from famous schools C) most people lie on applications because they were dismissed from school D) society should be greatly responsible for lying on applications

10. As used in the first. Line of the second paragraph, the word ―utter‖ means ___C________. A) address B) ultimate C) thorough D) decisive

C

Everyone has heard of the San Andreas fault (断层), which constantly threatens California and the West Coast with earthquakes. But how many people know about the equally serious New Madrid fault in Missouri?

Between December of 1811 and February of 1812, three major earthquakes occurred, all centered around the town of New Madrid, Missouri, on the Mississippi River. Property damage was severe. Buildings in the area were almost destroyed. Whole forests fell at once, and huge cracks opened in the ground, allowing smell of sulfur （硫磺）to filter upward.

The Mississippi River itself completely changed character, developing sudden rapids and whirlpools. Several times it changed its course, and once, according to some observers, it actually appeared to run backwards. Few people were killed in the New Madrid earthquakes, probably simply because few people lived in the area in 1811; but the severity of the earthquakes are shown by the fact that the shock waves rang bells in church towers in Charleston, South Carolina, on the coast. Buildings shook in New York City, and clocks were stopped in Washington, D.C.

Scientists now know that America‘s two major faults are essentially different. The San Andreas is a horizontal boundary

42

between two major land masses that are slowly moving in opposite directions. California earthquakes result when the movement of these two masses suddenly lurches (倾斜) forward.

The New Madrid fault, on the other hand, is a vertical fault; a some point, possibly hundreds of millions of years ago, rock was pushed up toward the surface, probably by volcanoes under the surface. Suddenly, the volcanoes cooled and the rock collapsed, leaving huge cracks. Even now, the rock continues to settle downwards, and sudden sinking motions trigger (触发) earthquakes in the region. The fault itself, a large crack in this layer of rock, with dozens of other cracks that split off from it, extends from northeast Arkansas through Missouri and into southern lllinois.

Scientists who have studied the New Madrid fault say there have been numerous smaller quakes in the area since 1811; these smaller quakes indicate that larger ones are probably coming, but the scientists say have no method of predicting when a large earthquake will occur.

11. This passage is mainly about____B______. A) the New Madrid fault in Missouri B) the San Andreas and the New Madrid faults C) the causes of faults D) current scientific knowledge about faults 12. The New Madrid fault is __B______. A) a horizontal fault B) a vertical fault

C) a more serious fault than the San Andreas fault D) responsible for forming the Mississippi River 13. We may conclude from the passage that_____A____. A) it is probably as dangerous to live in Missouri as in California

B) the New Madrid fault will eventually develop a mountain range in Missouri C) California will become an island in future D) A big earthquake will occur to California soon 14. This passage implies that__C___. A) horizontal faults are more dangerous than vertical faults. B) Vertical faults are more dangerous than horizontal faults C) Earthquakes occur only around fault areas

D) California will break into pieces by an eventual earthquake

15. As used in the first sentence of the fourth paragraph, the word ―essentially‖ means___C_____. A) greatly B) extremely C) basically D) necessarily

D

Those who welcomed the railway saw it as more than a rapid and comfortable means of passing. They actually saw it as a factor in world peace. They did not foresee that the railway would be just one more means for the rapid movement of aggressive armies. None of them foresaw that the more we are together-the more chances there are of war. Any boy or girl who is one of a large family knows that.

Whenever any new invention is put forward, those for it and those against it can always find medical men to approve or condemn. The anti-railway group produced doctors who said that tunnels would be most dangerous to public health: they would produce colds, catarrhs (粘膜炎) and consumptions. The deafening noise and the glare of the engine fire, would have a bad effect on the nerves. Further, being moved through the air at a high speed would do grave injury to delicate lungs. In those with high blood-pressure, the movement of the train might produce apoplexy (中风). The sudden plunging of a train into the darkness of a tunnel, and the equally sudden rush into full daylight, would cause great damage to eyesight. But the pro-railway group was of course able to produce equally famous medical men to say just the opposite. They said that the speed and swing of the train would equalize the circulation, promote digestion, tranquilize the nerves, and ensure good sleep.

The actual rolling-stock was anything but comfortable. If it was a test of endurance to sit for four hours outside a coach in rain, or inside in dirty air, the railway offered little more in the way of comfort. Certainly the first-class carriages had cushioned seats; but the second-class had only narrow bare boards, while the third-class had nothing at all; no seats and no roof; they were just open trucks. So that third-class passengers gained nothing from the few mode except speed. In the matter of comfort, indeed they lost; they did, on the coaches, have a seat, but now they had to stand all the way, which gave opportunities

43

to the comic (滑稽的) press. This kind of thing: ?A man was seen yesterday buying a third-class ticket for the new London and Birmingham Railway. The state of his mind is being enquired into.‘

A writer in the early days of railways wrote feelingly of both second-and third-class carriages. He made the suggestion that the directors of the railways must have sent all over the world to find the hardest possible wood. Of the open third-class trucks he said that they had the peculiar property of meeting the rain from whatever quarter it came. He described them as horizontal shower-baths, from whose searching power there was no escape. 16. All boys and girls in large families know that___C_____. A) a boy and a girl usually fight when they are together B) people tend to be together more than they used to be C) a lot of people being together makes fights likely D) Railway leads the world to peace

17. According to those who welcomed the railway, the railway itself should include all the following except__D______. A) the railway enables people travel fast B) the railway brings comfort to people C) the railway makes the world peaceful D) the railway leads the world to war as well. 18. According to the anti-railway group, all the followings are true but____D___. A) tunnels are dangerous to public health

B) the noise and the glare of the engine fire may affect people‘s nerves C) the rapid speed through the air does damage to people‘s lungs

D) to those with high blood-pressure, the rapid speed of the train causes them to die 19. We may safely conclude that___A____. A) the author belongs to the anti-railway group B) the author belongs to the for-railway group C) the author speaks highly of the railway

D) the author may never take train because of its potential dangers 20. What is the tone of this passage? C A) Practical B) Humorous. C) Satirical D) Exaggerated

Animals other than humans have not developed communications comparable to human language. But is it possible that other animals have the capacity to learn a language if they are adequately taught? Obviously, this is a fascination notion. The idea of communicating directly with another species has long been a part of human folklore and children‘s fantasies. But on a scientific level, the question of whether animals can learn a language is important primarily because it relates to the controversy()between the cognitive and the learning approaches to language. If language is dependent on and is actually an outgrowth of the intellectual structure of the human mind, there is the strong supposition that only humans are capable of using language. Therefore, Noam Chomsky and other psycholinguists have argued that only humans can learn a language, while most behaviorists feel that with sufficient patience it should be possible to teach an animal some sort of language. Although the two schools of thought clearly differ on this point, it is not really a crucial test of the two theories. If a chimpanzee can master a simple language all it would mean is that the chimp‘s intellectual capacity and brain structure are more similar to ours than we thought. It would not necessarily imply that our intellectual structure is unimportant in our own mastery of language. Thus, teaching an animal language is an impressive demonstration of the power of learning techniques, but it is not evidence that language is developed entirely through learning.

On the other hand, the question of whether other animals can learn a language is fascination in its own right, aside from its value as a test of the two theories of language development. Accordingly, whatever one‘s position on the theoretical dispute, we must consider training an animal to use language a dramatic accomplishment.

1、Which of the following statements is the view of psycholinguists? B A.The cognitive view of language learning says that only human beings can learn language because it is an outgrowth of the structure of the human mind.

B.Other animals simply could master a language.

C.The animals intellectual capacity is much better than human beings. D.Language is developed by learning.

2、The behaviorists‘ view is that _____C_____. A.language is actually an outgrowth of intellectual structure of the animal‘s mind B.animals have not developed communications system

47

C.given enough patience, a man should be able to teach an animal some sort of language D.only human beings can learn language

3、That an animal can master a simple language means that ____C______. A.human‘s intellectual structure is not important

B.animals‘ intellectual capacity and brain structure are more similar to the humans‘ C.the learning techniques are much more important D.language is developed completely by learning

4、The main idea of paragraph two is _____B______. A.teaching a chimp language is not crucial test of the two theories B.their brain structure is not similar to human

C.using various methods to let the chimp master a language

D.training a nonhuman to use language is an amazing accomplishment

5、The best title for this passage would be ____A_____. A.Animals‘ language B.Human‘s language C.Teaching Animals‘ Language

D.Can Other Animals Acquire Language?

B

In the old days, children were familiar with birth and death as part of life. This is perhaps the first generation of American youngsters who have never been close by during the birth of a baby and have never experienced the death of a family member.

Nowadays when people grow old, we often send them to nursing homes. When they get sick, we transfer them to a hospital, where children are forbidden to visit terminally ill patients ---even when those patients are their parents. This deprives the dying patient of significant family members during the last few days of his life and it deprives the children of an experience of death, which is an important learning experience.

Some of my colleagues and I once interviewed and followed approximately 500 terminally ill patients in order to find out what they could teach us and how we could be of more benefit, not just to them but to the members of their families as well. We were most impressed by the fact that even those patients who were not told of their serious illness were quite aware of its potential outcome.

It is important for family members, and doctors and nurses to understand these patients‘ communications in order to truly understand their needs, fears, and fantasies. Most of our patients welcomed another human being with whom they could talk openly, honestly, and frankly about their trouble. Many of them shared with us their tremendous need to be informed, to be kept up-to-date on their medical condition and to be told when the end was near. We found out that patients who had been dealt with openly and frankly were better able to cope with the approach of death and finally to reach a true stage of acceptance prior to death.

6.The elders of contemporary Americans __C______. A. were often absent when a family member was born or dying B. were quite unfamiliar with birth and death

C. usually witnessed the birth or death of a family member D. had often experienced the fear of death as part of life 7. Children in America today are denied the chance ___D_____. A. to learn how to face death B. to visit dying patients C. to attend to patients D. to have access to a hospital

8. Five hundred critically ill patients were investigated with the main purpose of __A_____.

48

A. observing how they reacted to the crisis of death B. helping them and their families overcome the fear of death C. finding out their attitude towards the approach of death D. learning how to best help them and their families 9. The need of a dying patient for company shows ___B_____. A. his desire for communication with other people B. his fear of approaching death

C. his pessimistic attitude towards his condition D. his reluctance to part with his family

10. It may be concluded from the passage that ____B____. A. dying patients are afraid of being told of the approach of death B. most doctors and nurses understand what dying patients need C. dying patients should be truthfully informed of their condition D. most patients are unable to accept death until it is obviously inevitable.

C

It is all very well to blame traffic jams, the cost of petrol and the quick pace of modern life, but manners on the roads are becoming

horrible. You might tolerate the rude and inconsiderate driver, but nowadays the well-mannered motorist is the exception to the rule. Perhaps the situation calls for a \

Road politeness is not only good manners, but good sense too. It takes the most cool-headed and good-tempered of drivers to resist the temptation to revenge when subjected to uncivilized behaviors. On the other hand, a little politeness goes a long way towards relieving the tensions of motoring. A friendly nod or a wave of acknowledgement in response to an act of politeness helps to create an atmosphere of goodwill and tolerance so necessary in modem traffic conditions. But such acknowledgements of politeness are all too rare today. Many drivers nowadays don't even seem able to recognize politeness when they see it.

However, improper politeness can also be dangerous. A typical example is the driver who waves a child across a crossing into the path of oncoming vehicles that may be unable to stop in time. The same goes for encouraging old ladies to cross the road wherever and whenever they care to.

A veteran driver, whose manners are faultless, told me it would help if motorists learn to filter correctly into

traffic streams one at a time without causing the total blockages() that give rise to bad temper. Unfortunately, modern motorists can't even learn to drive, let alone be well-mannered on the road. Years ago the experts warned us that the car-ownership explosion would demand a lot more give-and-take from all road users. It is high time for all of us to take this message to heart. 11. According to this passage, troubles on the road are primarily caused by___C________. A)people's attitude towards drivers B)the rhythm of modern life C)the behavior of the driver D)traffic conditions

12. The sentence \

implies that_____B______. A)our Society is unjust towards well-mannered motorists B)rude drivers can be met only occasionally

C)the well-mannered motorist cannot tolerate the rude driver D)nowadays impolite drivers constitute the majority of motorists 13.By \ A) the driver's ability to understand and react reasonably B)the driver's prompt response to difficult conditions C) the driver's tolerance of bad road conditions

D)the driver's acknowledgement of politeness and regulations

14. Experts have long pointed out that in the face of car-ownership explosion, ___D________. A)road users should make more sacrifices B)drivers should be ready to yield to one another

49

C)drivers should have more communication among themselves D)drivers will suffer a great loss if they pay no respect to others 15. In the writer's opinion, ___C________. A)strict traffic regulations are badly needed B)drivers should apply road politeness properly C)rude and inconsiderate drivers should be punished D)drivers should try their best to avoid traffic jams

In science the meaning of the word ―explain‖ suffers with civilization‘s every step in search of reality. Science cannot really explain electricity, magnetism, and gravitation; their effects can be measured and predicted, but of their nature no more is known to the modern scientist than to Thales who first speculated on the electrification of amber. Most contemporary physicists reject the notion that man can ever discover what these mysterious forces‖really‖ are. ―Electricity‖, Bertrand Russell says, ― is not a thing, like St. Paul‘s Cathedral; it is a way in which things behave. When we have told how things behave when they are electrified, and under what circumstances they are electrified, we have told all there is to tell.‖ Until recently scientists would have disapproved to such an idea.

Aristotle, for example, whose natural science dominated Western thought for two thousand years, believed that man could arrive at an understanding of reality by reasoning from self-evident principles. He felt, for example, that it is a self-evident principle that everything in the universe has the ground because that‘s where it belongs. The goal of Aristotelian science was to explain why things happen. Modern science was born when Galileo began trying to explain how things happen and thus originated the method of controlled experiment which now forms the basis of scientific investigation. 16. The aim of the controlled experiment is ____C_______. E. to explain why things happen F. to explain how things happen

G. to form the basis of scientific investigation. H. to prove accepted theories

17. What principles most influenced scientific thought for two thousand years? D E. Thales‘ speculations. F. Self-evident principles. G. Aristotle‘s natural science. H. Russell‘s theory on electricity.

18. Bertrand Russell‘s notion about electricity is _____B_____. E. disapproved of by most modern scientists

F. in agreement with Aristotle‘s theory of self-evident principles G. disagreed by Galileo‘s theory

H. supported by scientific investigation directed toward ―how‖things happen

19. The passage says that until recently scientists disagreed with the idea that ____C_____. E. man can‘t discover what forces ―really‖ are F. there are mysterious forces in the universe G. there are self-evident principles

H. we can discover why things behave as they do

20. According to Aristotle, that objects fall to the ground ____A______. A. is a result of reasoning

B. could be explained from self-evident principles C. is an instance of self-evident principle D. could be tested by experience
