Passage 1 Last Friday, after doing all the family shopping in town, I wanted a rest before catching the train, so I bought a newspaper and some chocolate and went into the station coffee shop. It was a cheap self-service place with long tables to sit at. I put my heavy bag down on the floor, put the newspaper and chocolate on the table to keep a place and went to get a cup of coffee. When I came back with the coffee, there was someone in the next seat. It was one of those wild-looking boys, with dark glasses and old clothes, and his hair was colored bright red at the front. Not so unusual these days. What did surprise me was that he’d started to eat my chocolate! Naturally, I was rather uneasy about him, but I didn’t want to make more trouble. I just looked down at the front page of the newspaper, tasted my coffee and took a bit of chocolate. The boy looked at me closely. Then he took a second piece of my chocolate. I could hardly believe it. Still I didn’t say anything to him. When he took a third piece, I felt more angry than uneasy. I thought, “Well, I shall have the last piece.” and I got it. The boy gave me a strange look, then stood up. As he left he shouted out, “There’s something wrong with this woman!” Everybody looked at me, but it was worse when I finished my coffee and ready to leave. My face turned red when I knew I’d made a mistake. It wasn’t my chocolate that I had been eating. There was mine, unopened, just under my newspaper. 71.A self-service shop may be a place where you __________ .

Passage 2 “Fire! Fire!” what terrible words to hear when one wakes up in a strange house in the middle of the night! It was a large, old wooden house----the sort that burn beautifully-----and my room was on the floor. I jumped out of the bed, opened the door and stepped out into the passage. It was full of thick smoke. I began to run, but as I was still only half-awake, instead of going towards the stairs I went in the opposite direction. The smoke grew thicker and I could see flames all around. The floor became hot under my bare feet. I found an open door and ran into a room to get to the window. But before I could reach it, one of my feet caught in something soft and I fell down. The thing I had fallen over felt like a bundle of clothes, and I picked it up to protect my face from the smoke and heat. Just then the floor gave way under me and I crashed to the floor below with pieces of burning wood all around me. I saw a flaming doorway in front, put the bundle over my face and ran. My feet burned me terribly, but I got through. As I reached the cold air out side, my bundle of clothes gave a thin cry. I nearly dropped it in my surprise. Then I saw a crowd gathered in the street. A woman in a nightdress and a borrowed man’s coat screamed as she saw me and came running madly. “My baby! My baby!” she cried. The crowd cheered widely as she took the smoke-blackened bundle out of my arms. I had some difficulty in recognizing her. She was the Mayor’s wife, and I have saved her baby. I was a hero! 76.Why did the author jump out of the bed in the middle of the night? A) Because the house where he stayed for the night was on fire.

Passage 3I left my friend’s house shortly after seven. It was still too early for me to have my evening meal, so I walked along

the seafront (滨海马路 ) for about an hour until I began to feel hungry. By that time I was not far from a favorite restaurant of mine, where I often went to eat two or three times a week. I knew the owner well and frequently

complimented (赞美, 恭维) him on his excellent cooking. I went into the restaurant, which was already crowded, and ordered my meal. While I was waiting for the soup to arrive, I looked around to see if I knew anyone in the restaurant. It was then that I noticed that a man sitting at a corner table near the door kept glancing in my direction, as if he knew me, I certainly did not know him, for I never forgot a face. The man had a newspaper open in front of him, which he was pretending to read, though all the while I could see that he was keeping an eye on me. When the waiter brought my soup, the man was clearly puzzled by the familiar way in which the waiter and I addressed each other. He became even more puzzled as time went on and it grew more and more obvious that I was well known in the restaurant. Eventually he got up and went into the kitchen. After a few minutes he came out again, paid his bill and left without another glance in my direction. When I had finished and was about to pay my bill, I called the owner of the restaurant over and asked him what the man had wanted. The owner was a little embarrassed by my question and at first did not want to tell me. I insisted. “Well,” he said, “that man was a detective.” “Really?” I said, considerably surprised. “He followed you here because he thought you were a man he was looking for,” the owner of the restaurant said. “When he came into the kitchen, he showed me a photograph of the wanted man. He certainly looked like you! Of course, since we know you here, I was able to convince him that he had made a mistake.” “It’s lucky I came to a restaurant where I am known,” I said, “otherwise I might have been arrested!”81.When the author got to his favorite restaurant, it was ___________ . A) already nine o’clock B) eight o’clock on the dot C) about two minutes past eight D) slightly later than eight o’clock82.The man sitting at the corner table near the door kept glancing in the direction of the author because he was __________________ .

Passage 4At Harton College---an English boarding school for boys---there are many rules. Fifteen-year-old Bob Sanders often breaks these rules. The boys can go into town in the afternoon after classes. But they must return to the school at six o’clock. One afternoon Bob walked to the town. He looked at the shops and then went to the cinema. After the film he looked at his watch. It was after eight o’clock. He was a little worried. He walked back to Harton College as fast as possible. When he arrived, he ran quickly to the main entrance. It was locked. He looked up at the window of his dormitory. It was on the third floor. The window was open. But it was quite dark and he went round the school building to another

door. That one was locked too. He couldn’t climb up the wall very easily. Then he saw another open window on the ground floor. It was the window of the headmaster’s study.

He looked into the room-----no one was there. Bob quickly climbed on to the window sill (窗台) and jumped into the room. Just then he heard a noise. Then some one turned on a light in the corridor. Bob looked around and then hid under the sofa. One minute later, Mr. Mannering, the headmaster, came in. He turned on the light on his desk, and sat down on the sofa. Then he opened a book and began to read. Bob lay under the sofa as quietly as possible. He could not move. The floor was cold and uncomfortable. He looked at the headmaster’s shoes and socks for an hour. “Why doesn’t he get up and go to bed?” he thought. Finally, the headmaster closed his book and stood up. He put the book on a shelf and walked towards the door. “Thank heavens, he didn’t find me under the sofa!” thought Bob. Then Mr. Mannering stopped and spoke towards the sofa. “Would you turn off the light when you leave?” he said and left the study. 86.According to the passage, it is required that students of Harton College _________ .

Part II Reading ComprehensionDirection: There are four reading passages in this part. Each passage is followed by five question, for each question there are four suggested answers marked A, B, C and D. Choose the best answer and blacken the corresponding letter on ANSWER SHEET.

Passage 1Many visitors finds the fast pace at which American people move very troubling. One's first impression is likely

to be that everyone is in a rush .City people always appear to be hurrying to get where they are going and are very impatient if they are delayed even for a brief moment. At first, this may seem unfriendly to you . But drivers will rush you ; storekeepers will be in a hurry as they serve you ; people will push past you as they walk along the street . You will miss smiles, brief conversations with people as you shop or dine away from home . Do not think that because Americans are in such a hurry they are unfriendly. Often , life is much slower outside the big cities, as is true in other countries as well. Americans who live in cities such as New York, Chicago, or Los Angeles, often think that everyone is equally in a hurry to get things done; they expect others to "push back", just as city people do in Tokyo, Singapore or Paris, for example . But when they discover that you are a stranger, most Americans become quite kindly and will take great care to help you. Many of them first came to the city as strangers and they remember how frightening a new city can be .If you need help or want to ask a question , choose a friendly looking person and say," I am a stranger here. Can you help me ?"

Most people will stop, smile at you, and help you find you way or answer your questions. But you must let them know that you need help. Otherwise they are likely to pass you by, not noticing that you are new to the city and in need of help. Occasionally, you may find someone too busy or perhaps too rushed to give you aid. If this happens, do not be discouraged; just ask someone else. Most Americans enjoy helping a stranger.31. Many people who first visit the United States will find that _______.A) America is a highly developed countryB) American city people seem to be always in a rushC) the fast pace in American life often causes much troubleD) Americans are impatient and unfriendly people32.When the author says " You will miss smile ", he means ___________.A) you will fail to notice that Americans are pleasant and happyB) you will be puzzled why Americans do not smile at youC) you will feel that Americans do not seem very friendlyD) you will find that Americans don't have much sense of humor33. In the author's opinion, ___________.A) it is true that life in New York is much faster than that in any other cityB) people living outside big cities are lazy and miserableC) most American people enjoy living in the suburbs of big citiesD) those who are busy are not necessarily unfriendly34. The author mentions big cities such as Tokyo, Singapore and Paris ___________.A) to show that city people all over the world have a lot in commonB) to let his readers be aware that they are some of the world's biggest citiesC) to illustrate their difference from American citiesD) because they are some of the cities that attract visitors most35.

Passage 2 Mark felt that it was time for him to take part in his community, so he went to the neighborhood meeting after

There are charts for parking problems, crime, and for problems in vacant buildings . People were supposed to suggest solutions to the councilwoman..It was too much for Mark. " The problems are too big ," he thought . He turned to the man next to him and said, "I think this is a waste of my time . Nothing I could do would make a difference here." Mark thought some more on his way to the bus stop. "People should just take care of themselves , " he decided. "That's enough to do . I can't take on all the problems of the world." As he neared the bus stop, Mark saw a woman carrying a grocery bag and baby. She was trying to unlock her car, but she didn't have a free hand . As Mark got closer, her other child , a littlle boy , suddenly darted into the street. The woman tried to reach for him, but as she moved, her bag shifted and groceries started to fall out . Mark ran to take the boy's arm and led him back to his mother. Then he picked up the groceries while the woman smiled in relief. "Thanks!" she said . " You've got great timing!" " Just being neighborly," Mark said . As he rode home, he glanced at the walls of the bus. On one of them was "

Passage 3 In every society it is necessary to have a general system of laws to ensure justice. Laws are designed to make certain that people's rights are protected and that people respect each other's rights. Sometimes, however, laws are passed which are specific to a time or situation. For example , a town in Indiana once passed a law making it illegal to shoot open a can of food . Apparently, some gun-carrying citizens forgot their can openers and naturally enough, used their guns to do the job. This disturbed other citizens, and endangered their lives, so a law was passed to prevent it. Specific laws sometimes remain in existence long after the problem has disappeared. The laws then seem strange. For example , the Indiana law was no longer necessary when citizens stopped carrying guns and using them as can openers. Since the law was no longer needed, what once made sense now seems like nonsense. Sometimes laws designed to serve a good purpose were passed but somehow these became mixed up in their wording. As a result, the laws don't make sense. In one state there is a law which says that it is "illegal to move or to attempt to move a motor vehicle." Obviously, a massive traffic jam would occur if everyone suddenly obeyed that law . But no one does, of course, because the intention of the law was not to prevent owners from moving their own cars . It was to prevent people from moving (stealing) other people's cars.

It is often harder to repeal （废止）a law than to pass one, so many of these old laws remain in existence. Because they no longer fit the way people live or because the problem no longer exists, these laws are ignored. Everyone understands that and life goes on. Thus, laws that once made very good sense, now seem like nonsense.41. According to the passage, laws are designed for the purpose of ____________.A) protecting people's rights B) making people respect each otherC) preventing gun-carrying D) punishing criminals

42. The word "job" in paragraph 1 refers to ___________.A) working B) shooting C) preventing gun-carrying D) disturbing others43 The author used the Indiana law as an example to explain _________.A) how some laws are passed and changed B) how people in Indiana open cansC) why some laws may seem strange D) why people in Indiana no longer use their guns44. What's the problem with the law concerning motor vehicles?A) It leads to traffic jams. B) It is not clearly written.C) It is not designed to serve a good purpose. D) It has been out of date.45. We can conclude from the passage that ___________.A) a law system is necessary for every societyB) some laws that don't make sense may also get passedC) it is more difficult to change the old law than pass a new one D) some laws may seem strange as time passes

Passage 4By the Treaty of Paris of 1763, which ended the war with the French and the Indians, England gained possession

of Canada and all the territory east of the Mississippi River. French influence on this continent thus came to an end; England now controlled most of North America. But the war had been long and expensive. England had many debts.

George III, king of England, after consulting with his advisers, decided that the American colonists（殖民者）should

help pay some of the expenses of this war. A standing English army of 10,000 men had been left in the colonies（殖民地） for protection against the Indians. The English government also felt that the colonists should share in the expenses of maintaining this army. The result was a series of measures, the Grenville Program, passed by Parliament and designed to raise money in the colonies. Some of these measures were accepted by the colonists, but one in particular, the Stamp Act, was met with great protest. The Stamp Act required that stamps, ranging in price from a few cents to almost a dollar, be placed on all newspapers, advertisements, bills of sale, wills, legal papers, etc. The Stamp Act was one of the causes of the American Revolution. It affected everyone, rich and poor alike. Some businessmen felt that the act would surely ruin their businesses. Of all the voices raised in protest to the Stamp Act, none had greater effect than that of a young lawyer from Virginia - Patrick Henry. Henry had only recently been elected to the Virginia Assembly. Yet when the Stamp Act came up for discussion, he opposed it almost single-handedly. He also expressed, for the first time, certain ideas that were held by many Americans of the time but that never before had been stated so openly. "Is life so dear or peace so

sweet, as to be bought at the price of chains and slavery? Forbid it, Almighty（万能）God! I know not what course others may take, but as for me, give me liberty, or give me death!"46.From the text we learn that ___________________.A) Britain took over Canada from the Indians in 1763B) there had been a war between the French and the Indians which ended in 1763C) France used to have control of Canada and some areas east of the Mississippi RiverD) the French still kept some influence in North America through the Treaty of Paris47.The Grenville Program refers to ___________________.A) King George III's plan to gather money in North AmericaB) the British government's desire to raise money in North AmericaC) a plan to share the expenses of maintaining an army in the American coloniesD) a decision of the British Parliament to collect money in the American colonies48.The Stamp Act ___________________.

A) was an act about selling stamps at prices from a few cents to almost a dollarB) required that all commercial and legal documents in America have stamps on themC) was the main cause of the American RevolutionD) chiefly affected business people who felt it would ruin their businesses49.From the text we learn that Patrick Henry ___________________.A) had been a member of the Virginia Assembly for a long timeB) didn't know what courses to take to complete his studies as a lawyerC) was almost the only one who openly protested against the Stamp ActD) didn't value life or peace as much as other people did50.This passage is mainly about ___________________.A) one of the events leading to the American RevolutionB) the Treaty of Paris between Britain and FranceC) the Grenville Program to raise money in the American coloniesD) Patrick Henry, a hero who opposed the Stamp Act

Passage 2Tourism is the temporary movement of people to destinations outside their normal places of work and

residence（居住） ,the activities 61 during their stay in those destinations, and the facilities created to 62 their needs.

Tourism is a luxury. Until recently, participation 63 restricted to the select few 64 could afford both the time and money to travel. 65 , increased leisure and higher incomes have combined to enable more people to join in.

Improvements in transportation, and the growth of inclusive（全包的） tours and other forms of relatively cheap vacation travel, have further 66 the opportunity to travel for pleasure. Today the majority of people in the developed world and increasing numbers in the developing countries are tourists 67 some time in their lives. Tourism is no longer the special right of a few but is an accepted and 68 expected part of the life-styles of a large and growing number of people. Tourism is 69 major economic and social significance. More than 270 million tourists spend $92

billion（US）annually in places outside their own countries. This is one of the largest items in the world's foreign trade. With a world growth in visitor arrival rate of 70 6 per cent per year, tourism is also one of the fastest growing economic activities. It is the most important export industry and earner of foreign exchange in many countries.61. A) undertaken B) to undertake C) undertaking D) undertook62. A) demand B) request C) meet D) consider63.

Part II Reading ComprehensionDirection: There are four reading passages in this part. Each passage is followed by five question, for each question there are four suggested answers marked A, B, C and D. Choose the best answer and blacken the corresponding letter on ANSWER SHEET.

Passage 1

A lot of recent papers point out how talking with your hands can unlock what Krauss calls “lexical (词汇的) memory”. One study, for instance, finds that speakers gesture more when they try to define words that have a strong

spatial (空间的 ) component-like “under” or “neighboring”-than when defining words that are more abstract, like “thought” or “evil”. And doctors notice that stroke patients whose brain damage worsens their ability to name objects gesture more, “as if they are trying everything they can to come up with a word,” says Krauss. Even people who don’t think they’re gesturing may be. Krauss attached electrodes to people’s arms to measure the movements of their

muscles-a little clench (握拳) that doesn’t blossom into a full gesture. Then he asked them to come up with words that

fit a definition he supplied. “You get more muscle movement when they say a word like ‘castanets(响板，一种乐器)’ which has an implied meaning of movement, than when they say an abstract word like ‘mercy’”, he finds.

If gesturing is like using a key to the door of lexical memory, then someone who can’t use his hands should have more trouble unlocking the door. That is just what a new study in the American Journal of Psychology finds. In the experiment, volunteers held onto a bar to keep their hands still; when Donna Frick-Horbury of Appalachian State University in North Carolina read them definitions “an ancient instrument used for calculations in eastern countries”, the subjects more often failed to think of the word “abacus” or took longer to do it, than when they could gesture freely. “Many subjects would actually make motions of using an abacus before coming up with the word,” says psychologist Robert Guttentag of the University of North Carolina at Greensboro, who was observing the study.31. Gestures can help speakers to recall __ in their memory. A) words B) definitions C) meanings D) ideas32. When do speakers use gestures more often?

A) When they are excited. B) When they talk about something emotional.C) When they say some spatial words. D) When they say some abstract words.

33. Kranss attached electrodes to people’s arms in order to ______________.A) observe the moments of their muscles B) measure the damage degree of the brain C) supply the meaning to a gesture D) define the meaning of a word

34. What is the meaning of the word “blossom” in Para. 1? A) Bloom. B) Flower. C) Operate. D) Develop.35. According to the passage, who can get more words from the “lexical memory”?

A) People who can memorize words very fast. B) People who gesture more often. C) People who hold onto a bar. D) People who seldom gesture.

Passage 2

Archaeopteryx (始祖鸟) had a pretty decent wingspan for a half-pound bird, more than 20 inches. That should have been enough to keep the bird flying through the Jurassic skies. But as anyone who’s ever watched a space shot

knows, the toughest part of flying is the takeoff. And the first birds and their dinosaur (恐龙) ancestors just didn’t have the specialized muscle power for liftoff that their modem counterparts do. It’s a question scientists have been arguing about for more than 200 years: how did the first fliers generate the lift to conquer gravity and take to air? A new study in the Journal Nature shows how it could have been done.

According to a popular theory a tree-dwelling ancestral bird could have launched itself or fallen from the tree

and managed to stay in the air with the feathered forelimbs (前肢). That solves the gravity issue, but some scientists point out a problem. “We don’t know of any bird ancestors that lived in trees.”

A running start could have helped a bird like Archaeopteryx into the air, but its estimated top ground speed wasn’t anywhere near fast enough for liftoff. Two American researchers used aerodynamic theory and biomechanics to re-create the takeoff run of Archaeopteryx. During a run, the researchers found, the bird’s wings were able to rotate

by 45 degrees at the shoulder, angled forward like two large oars (船桨) beating the air. That may have provided the extra burst in speed Archaeopteryx needed. And, the new calculations show: it would also have generated sufficient speed for takeoff. During the early phase of a nm, the researchers explain, Archaeopteryx’s wings acted more like an airplane’s engines than its wings, providing more thrust than lift. Then, once in the air, Archaeopteryx would have rotated its wings back to horizontal, to maintain altitude. The researchers hold that modem birds do exactly the same thing.36. What problem did Archaeopteryx have for takeoff? A) Its wings were not large enough. B) Its body was too heavy. C) It did not have the specialized muscle for liftoff. D) Its feathered forelimbs were too small.37. The word “counterparts” in the first paragraph refers to ________. A) Archaeopteryxes B) birds C) dinosaurs D) airplanes38. A running start could have helped Archaeopteryx into the air because ___________. A) its wings could have helped it run faster B) its legs were very long and it could run very fast C) its wings rotated fast enough for lift D) its wings longer could solve the gravity issue39. Which of the following statements is NOT true? A) Given the size of the bird, Archaeopteryx’s wings were very large. B) Archaeopteryx could take off by running. C) Archaeopteryx’s wings could act like an airplane’s engines. D) Archaeopteryx was much bigger than today’s birds.40. What can we conclude from the passage?

A) Through experiments, scientists have found how Archaeopteryx launched itself into the air. B) Scientists still have different opinions in how the first birds overcame gravity and lifted off. C) Archaeopteryx’s wings inspired the development of modem airplane engines.

D) Once in the air, Archaeopteryx would have kept rotating its wings back and forth to maintain altitude.

Passage 3.Questions 41 to 45 are based on the following passage:

Less than a month from graduation day, Theresa Casebeer of Northwestern University in Evanston, Illinois, had

yet to find the right job. The career placement center referred the liberal arts (文科) major to JOB-TRAK, an Internet site listing 45,000 positions.

Casebeer selected four keywords: Chicago, business, marketing and full-time. Immediately she found 45 jobs

meeting her criteria (标准), including one as an assistant to an administrator at the University of Chicago’s business school. Four weeks later she was hired at a starting salary of $ 32,000.

“I had no training,” says Casebeer, “but the Internet was extremely easy to use. I’d never have known about this job without it.”

Casebeer is one American who clicked (发出咔嚓声) her way into a job. Steven Toole is another.In 1996, Toole came across an employment site named Career-Builder. He had just been pro-rooted to director

of marketing for a company mad wasn’t looking for a job. But curious, he decided to “give it a try”.

Toole filled out a profile(个人简历 )with the keywords marketing manager and entered his electronic-mail address. Within a week his computer’s mailbox was filling up with available positions. Two interviews later he jumped to a new job. “The Internet is like hiring a personal assistant,” says Toole. “Effortlessly you can become aware of opportunities that may elevate your career.”

Most major newspapers and trade publications have on-line(网上)versions of their classified listings, enabling job-seekers to scan for work available across town, in another state or around the world. All 50 states, plus Washington, D. C., and Guam, have their local job banks available on-line, too. “The Internet is a wonderful place to explore, especially when coupled with traditional job search methods,” notes Richard Nelson, author of What Color Is Your Parachute?41. Theresa Casebeer found her job through

A) the career placement center B) Northwestern University C) an Internet site D) University of Chicago

A) wanted to be promoted B) didn’t have a job at the timeC) wanted to jump to a new job D) was curious

44. In the last paragraph, “coupled with” can most probably be replaced by __ with.A) compared B) associated C) explored D) combined

45. What is the best title of this passage? A) How to find a job on the internet. B) The internet, a wonderful job-search medium. C) How Casebeer and Toole found their jobs. D) Computer and job openings.

Passage 4.Questions 46 to 50are based on the following passage:

Man young British doctors drink too much and use cannabis and other illegal drugs, according to a survey released last week.

The poll of 14 junior doctors in northeastern England, published in a letter in The Lancet medical journal, showed that more than 60 per cent drank more alcohol than the recommended safe limits.

Over 35 per cent of male doctors and 19 per cent of female physicians also admitted using cannabis and up to 13 per cent also took other drugs.

“The current drinking habits, illegal drug use, and stress in some junior doctors is of concern, not only for their own well being, but also how they affect patients’ care,” said Dr. Farhad Kam all of the University of Newcastle, who conducted the study.

The British Medical Association (BMA) said the findings were consistent with its own research into the habits of the junior doctors.

The survey was released a day after Dr. Patrick Dixon, a British AIDS expert and author, called for random testing of doctors for alcohol and drug abuse.

EXxon, the author of The Truth about Drugs, said that the problem, posed a significant threat to the public health because patients’ lives were being put at risk.

“With around 10 per cent of all doctors either intoxicated(沉醉)or withdrawing (from drugs or alcohol) we are faced with the fact that significant numbers of doctors have impaired judgment because of addiction,” Dixon said in a telephone interview.

He claimed that more than 1,000 addicted doctors in London were addicts but he said their colleagues were

reluctant to identify them because of fear of retribution (报复).“Our estimate is that up to 10 percent of doctors may have a drug or alcohol problem at some time in their

working lives,” a BMA spokeswoman said.46. From the first paragraph, we can know ________________. A) it is quite fashionable to take cannabis in Britain B) taking cannabis is against the law in Britain C) cannabis is something delicious to eat D) there is no limit to the use of cannabis47. What does the word “released” (Para. 6) mean? A) Set free. B) Given up. C) Finished. D) Issued.48. According to Dr. Dixon, alcohol drinking and drug abuse ___________. A) put the health of the drinkers and users at risk B) had negative influence over the younger doctors C) presented a great threat to the public health D) was a pretty new social phenomenon in Britain49. The word “impaired” (Para. 8) means ____________. A) irresponsible B) weakened C) false D) paired up50. The colleagues of the addicted doctors were unwilling to identify them because they _____________. A) did not want to lose friendship B) lacked self-confidence C) didn’t want to get punished D) didn’t’ t want the addicted doctors to be punished

Part II Reading ComprehensionDirection: There are four reading passages in this part. Each passage is followed by five question, for each question there are four suggested answers marked A, B, C and D. Choose the best answer and blacken the corresponding letter on ANSWER SHEET.

Passage 1Lord Woolf, the most senior judge in Britain believes that the civil courts are a nightmare for those trapped in

their procedures. The average High Court case takes more than three years from the legal document to trial. Many personal injury cases take twice as long. The costs of these legal cases are out of proportion to the stakes. Lawyer’s

fees in personal injury cases amount to more than half the claim. Some multinational (跨国的) companies complain that the British court system is slower and more expensive than any other.

The new Lord Chief Justice, Lord Bingham, describes the excessive costs of civil litigation (诉讼) as a cancer eating at the heart of the administration of justice. His point is that when justice is expensive, most people do not have access to it. These days, only the very rich or the very poor (whose costs will be paid by the state) can afford to go to court. Rising costs, therefore, also means a growing burden on the taxpayer: public expenditure on civil legal aid has increased a lot since 1983.

Cases have allowed running on and on because, at present, the lawyers set the pace, and they have no interest in

seeing a quick result. Lord Woolf’s remedy is to shift control of litigation (诉讼)from lawyers to judges.Quicker, cheaper justice is in almost everybody’s interests; but there will be opposition from two sources. The

Treasury (财政部)is worried that, even though the court costs per case should fail, the costs to the state of the system as a whole will probably rise: there will have to be more judges, more staff members in the court, and the court system will need to be computerized. But such objections can be easily met. Higher court costs could be passed onto the

litigants who would still pay less overall because their lawyer bills would be so much smaller.Opposition may also come from lawyers. Some of them will complain that handing power to the courts will

restrict their ability to represent their client’s interests. If justice is cheaper, it will also be rougher. Such an outcome is possible, but it is far from inevitable. In any case, the finest legal system in the world would still not provide justice if most people do not have access to it.31. Lord Woolf describes the British court system as a nightmare because _________. A) many people are trapped in its procedures B) it takes at least 3 years before any court decision is made C) it is expensive and inefficient D) it is irresponsible and indifferent32. As a result of the high costs of civil litigation, _____________. A) the poor are actually not protected by law B) few people in Britain go to court C) justice is hardly existent in Britain D) most people can not afford to go to court33. In order to avoid the delay of cases, Lord Woolf suggests that _________. A) lawyer’ s fees be reduced B) judges take over the control of litigation C) lawyers no longer set the pace D) the court prescribes a time limit for each case34. Lord Woolf’s remedy is opposed to by lawyers because ___________. A) the cheaper a thing is, the poorer the quality will be B) the court will restrict their ability to represent their client’ s interests C) the costs to the state of the system as a whole will probably rise D) the lack of money and time will result in a decline in the quality of their work35. Which of the following is closest in meaning to the last sentence of the passage? A) In dealing with any legal cases, the finest legal system is not necessarily the most efficient if people do not have

faith in it. B) It is not always the case that the best legal system is still able to provide justice even if most people do not have

access to it. C) Whatever happens, the finest legal system in the world will not do people justice if people do not go to court. D) No matter how good a legal system is, it would not be able to perform its duty if people are denied access to it.

Passage 2What kind of human being will the future spaceman be?

Will he need bones of steel and powerful muscles to resist rocket thrust, the lungs of a glass blower (玻璃吹制工人), a mighty heart, the calmness of an acrobat (杂技演员), unconscious death urges, or a schizophrenic (患精神分裂症的) drive toward isolation? Popular ideas of a spaceman tend to be funny composites of fiction and fact.

A more realistic portrait emerges from the young science of bioastronautics, the newest and strangest of medical disciplines. The astronaut may be described as a youngish man of high intelligence who is normal to an abnormal

degree. On earth he may well have been a high diver, high jumper, pole vaulter (撑杆跳运动员), or acrobat. He must be highly motivated, carefully trained, and he must want to come back.

His heart and lungs must be healthy but need not be exceptionally developed, for his cabin will be pressurized. Huge muscles may actually be disadvantageous, for he will have almost no way to get exercise, and he will find that the strength of a year-old child is adequate in the weightlessness of space. A firm body and a short, strong neck will help him to withstand the tremendous forces encountered at take-off. Most important physically, his digestive system must be one that will not be upset by weightlessness; he must not be subject to motion sickness.36. All the following are popular beliefs about the future spaceman EXCEPT that ____.

A) faced with isolation, he is brave enough and not liable to go mad B) he needs to have a strong death complex C) he must have strong bones and powerful muscles D) he must be cool-headed37. Which of the following will NOT be considered by the author as a more realistic image of the future spaceman? A) He must have superior intelligence. B) He is young. C) He should have a strong desire to survive. D) He doesn’t get upset easily.38. Bioastronautics is mostly related to __________. A) literature B) the science of medicine C) biology D) disciplines and regulations39. “normal to an abnormal degree” (Para. 3) means________. A) seemingly normal but actually abnormal B) so ordinary that he is undistinguished in every way C) extremely healthy, and there is nothing abnormal with him D) so normal that no one believes it is true40. To the future spaceman, what is most physically important is that _________. A) his vital capacity must be as great at a glass blower’s B) he must have a short and firm neck C) his heart must be comparatively large D) his digestive system should not be upset by weightlessness

Passage 3Children learn almost nothing from television, and the more they watch the less they remember. They regard

television purely as entertainment, dislike programs that demand their attention mad are bewildered that anybody should take the medium seriously. Far from being over-excited by programs, they are mildly bored with the whole thing. These are the main conclusions from a new study of children and television. The author, C. Cullingford, confirms that the modern child is devoted viewer. The study suggests that there is little point in the later hours. More than a third of the children regularly watch their favorite programs after 9 p.m. All II-year-olds have watched programs after midnight.

Apart from the obvious waste of time involved, it seems that all this viewing has little effect. Children don’t pay close attention, says Cullingford, and they can recall few details. They can remember exactly which programs they have seen but they can rarely explain the elements of a particular plot. Recall was in “reverse proportion to the amount they had watched”. It is precisely because television, unlike a teacher, demands so little attention and response that children like it, argues Cullingford. Programs seeking to pass on serious messages are strongly disliked. So are people who frequently talk on screen. What children like most, and remember best, are the advertisements. They see them as short programs in their own right and particularly enjoy humorous presentation. But again, they react strongly against high-pressure advertisements that attempt openly to influence them.41. We can infer from the first paragraph that _____________. A) children are generally believed to get excited easily while watching TV B) most children like to stay up late and watch TV C) all children over 11 years old have watched programs after midnight D) children enjoy TV programs better than adults42. “Recall was in ‘reverse proportion to the amount they had watched’” (Para. 2) is closest in meaning to _________. A) they can recall few details B) they can rarely explain the elements of a particular plot C) the more they watch, the less they remember

D) children learn almost nothing from television43. According to the passage, which of the following DO children like? A) Commercials. B) The later hours. C) Ads that play up their products too thinly. D) People who talk very much on screen.44. Which of the following statements is true?

A) Though children like watching ads, most of them don’t believe what ads say about the product. B) Children can remember what programs they have seen but they don’t remember the details at all. C) Children believe they have the right to enjoy short and humorous programs. D) Children don’t remember what they have seen very well because television doesn’t demand very much attention

and response.45. What conclusion can we draw from the passage? A) C. CuIiingford has conducted a new study of children and television. B) Watching TV is obviously a waste of time. C) The educational function of TV is questioned. D) Children don’t like educational programs on TV.

Passage 4

In response to his summons(传唤,召唤), I had entered the room and shut the door quietly behind me. There was

a pause of complete stillness in which the buzzing (嗡嗡声)of the bees among the pink roses sounded as loud as a flight of aircraft.

I said, “Grandfather?” on a note of painful hesitation.His voice was harsh when he spoke, and the words uncompromising, but I had seen him wet his lips and make

the attempt twice, “Well, Annabel?”

I went quickly across the room and knelt down beside the sofa and put my hands on his lap on top of the plaid(方格呢)rug. His thin hand, with its prominent blue-knotted veins(静脉), came down hard over mine, surprisingly strong and warm. In the end it was easy to know what to say. I said quite simply, “I’m sorry, Grandfather. Will you have me hack?” The hand moved, holding mine together even more tightly. “If I said no,” said Grandfather, “it would be no more than you deserve.” He cleared his throat violently. “We thought you were dead.” “I’m sorry.” His other hand reached forward and lifted my chin. He studied my face, turning it towards the light of the window. I bit my lip and waited, not meeting his gaze. He said nothing for a long time, then, as harshly as before, “You’ve been unhappy, haven’t you?” I nodded. He let me go, and at last I was able to put my forehead down on the rug so that he couldn’t see my face. He said, “So have we,” and fell silent patting my hand.46. The passage is taken from a story about a girl who has _____________. A) had a date and returned home late B) got married and come to see her grandfather C) made her grandfather angry and now come to apologize D) run away from home and returned47.

A) doesn’t know what to say to her grandfather B) believes her grandfather will forgive her C) is prepared to get a good scolding

D) is surprised that her grandfather is so easy to talk to48. In the passage, the “rug” (Para. 4) is ___________. A) a floor covering B) a kind of blanket C) a tablecloth D) a cushion49. We can infer from the passage that Annabel’s grandfather ____________. A) is very strict with her B) is too uncompromising to excuse anyone’s mistakes C) is passionless D) has tender affection for Annabel50. Which of the following best descries the relationship between Annabel and her family? A) Annabel’s family treats her unfairly. B) Annabel and her family resent one another.

Part Two Reading ComprehensionDirection: There are four reading passages in this part. Each passage is followed by five question, for each question there are four suggested answers marked A, B, C and D. Choose the best answer and blacken the corresponding letter on ANSWER SHEET.

Passage 1It has been said that no town grows up until it is home to a college or university. Knowing this, as early as 1944,

far-sighted community leaders began to plan for and raise money for the creation of a junior college in Columbus. In

February of 1958 the Georgia Legislature passed the Junior College Bill(法案 ), which stipulated that all colleges qualifying for state funding must be in operation by September of 1958.

It was a challenge to meet the deadline, but on September 22, 1958, Columbus came of age: Columbus College began classes in the old Shanon Hosiery Mill, with 13 faculty members, five academic programs and 227 students. The phenomenal growth of the college began. In 1960, the first class of graduates received their associate degrees. In 1963, the college relocated to its present site. In 1965, the college was authorized to move up to the four-year status, and 1966 saw the first enrollment in a bachelor’s degree program. In 1973, the first graduate students began classes leading to the Master of Education degree and finally, two years ago, Columbus College became Columbus State University.

Some of the benefits from the university to our town are obvious—the spreading of knowledge and culture, skills and technology through college and advanced courses that students are able to take locally. A major benefit from the university to our town is not so obvious, perhaps. Hundreds of highly educated and talented faculty and staff have become citizens of our area, contributing their skills, expertise and viewpoints to the common good of the community and generally promoted the progress of the area in a number of diverse ways.Looking back over 40 years of growth, and forward into the next century, the dream of those leaders who had the foresight to bring the college to Columbus has been fulfilled beyond their dreams.31. The idea that prompted the community leaders in Columbus to plan for the creation of a college is that __________. A) towns can grow very large if they have a college B) the town must have a college for their own benefit C) a town cannot be fully developed without a college D) foresight is essential when they plan for the college32. Columbus College began classes in September, 1958 so that it obtained financial support from __________. A) citizens of the Columbus area B) the state government

C) private companies D) students’ tuition33. How-many years did it take the students at Columbus College to receive an associate degree? A) Two years. B) Three years. C) Four years. D) Seven years.34. The meaning of the word “phenomenal” (Para. 2) can be expressed by ________. A) remarkable B) surprising C) far-sighted D) hasty35. The writer’s purpose in writing this article is most likely to A) recount the university’s history B) celebrate the university’ s 40th anniversary. C) ask more students to attend the university D) show the importance of the university to the town’s residents

Passage 2

With a net worth of ＄4.8 billion, he is the 26th richest man in America—but he drives his own car (Ford Taurus), avoids using air conditioning at his residences as much as possible and once almost injured himself reaching for a dime beneath a revolving door.

A product of Southern military schools who lionizes (崇拜 ) Alexander the Great, he took as his third wife

actress Jane Fonda, who made wartime propaganda (宣传) broadcasts for the North Vietnamese—and they see eye to eye.

For many years he declared that he “hated the news,” that it was “evil” bemuse it made people feel bad. But he founded CNN (Cable News Network), the most influential television news channel in the world, and he is now vice-

chairman of the world’s biggest media conglomerate (集团公司), Time Warner Inc. In high school he lacked the hand-eye coordination to compete in sports. But he became famous for winning boat-sailing’s American Cup, and bought a baseball team and steered it to victory in the 1995 World Series; he owns an .NBA basketball team and has a new NHL hockey franchise. He wants to change the national anthem of the U.S. because it is a “war song,” and makes public speeches regularly about world peace—his main motivation is to give $1 billion to the United Nations. But he also believes that Christianity is a “religion for losers”, and makes his greatest CNN profits when violence or war breaks out.

He is Robert Edward Turner III—also known as Ted Turner—a mass of contradictions. Dismissed as “the Mouth of the South” for his over-the-top public behavior, Ted Turner has often been seriously underestimated. A man of vision, he has transformed the television industry. With CNN he created not only a channel through which the world gets its news, but also a force so powerful it shapes ‘the very events it covers.

For everyone else, that would have been enough, but not for Turner. By repeatedly reinventing himself, he has achieved what would take others many lifetimes. Like him or hate him, he is an American original.6. What does the first paragraph show about Ted Turner? A) He is very rich. B) He is unpretentious.

C) He loves driving. D) He hates air conditioning.7. What attitude are the graduates of military schools most likely to hold toward the Vietnam War? A) Speak for the North Vietnamese. B) Support the US war policy.

C) Go to war courageously. D) Be against the Vietnam War.8. It can be inferred from the passage all of the following EXCEPT __________. A) Ted loves sports and is good at sports himself B) Ted’ s TV news channel attracts world attention C) Ted is not a highly religious person D) Ted often speaks in the interests of the American South9. In conclusion, Ted Turner seems to be a person who _________. A) changes his mind frequently B) says one thing and does another

C) has two conflicting aspects D) cares about his public behavior10. The tone of the passage is __________. A) objective B) favorable C) critical D) ironic

Passage 3

The U.S. Army Infantry (步兵), which calls Fort Benning home, has fought in every major conflict involving the nation’ s military. Yet developing a program for effective infantry training came neither quickly nor easily. The first

movement to shape the country’s foot soldiers into a superior force came more than 200 years ago at the request of the general who became the first president of the United States.

Revolutionary forces commanded by General George Washington were barely surviving as they camped at Valley Forge, Pennsylvania, during the winter of 1777. Washington realized that his soldiers, shivering in rags and tatters, needed better training if there were to be any hope of winning against the well-schooled British army. He

sought advice from the respected Prussian (普鲁士) general, Baron Frederic Wilhelm von Steuben.Von Steuben agreed to help, but recognized the huge challenge he faced to change the loose band of rebels into a

disciplined, wall-organized force. As one observer at the time noted, the colonial army “was the finest body of troops he had ever seen out of step”. Von Steuben’s own assessment was that the Continental Army was a shame. “There was no uniformity of drill, no similarity of organization, and no teamwork of any kind”, wrote Leroy Yarborough, first

lieutenant (中尉) of infantry, in an unpublished 1931 history of Fort Benning. No two companies drilled alike, and they all drilled poorly.

But von Steuben was resourceful and energetic and known for his persuasiveness. He established standard drill exercises and taught them patiently, but persistently to the troops. Once he saw progress, he chose those most adept at military formations to demonstrate for the rest to emulate. This practice of using the best troops to model techniques and tactics became fundamental in military, training, continuing long after the Revolutionary. War. For his efforts, von Steuben is known as the “Father of the U.S. Infantry.”41. The first two paragraphs tell us _____________. A) how von Steuben became the general of the American infantry B) how the revolutionary forces came to be commanded by Washington C) how Washington set about asking von Steuben to train his soldiers D) how poorly organized the Americans were compared to the British army42. It can be inferred from the passage that training programs for the American infantry started at _______.

A) Valley Forge B) Fort Benning C) Prussia D) Washington’s hometown43. The main problems with the American revolutionary, forces seemed to be lack of the following EXCEPT

___________. A) standardization in training and organization B) coordination between various units C) strict discipline and unity D) shame and challenge 44. The writer of this passage refers to Washington’s troops as all of the following EXCEPT _____________.

A) revolutionary forces B) the US Army infantry C) the colonial army D) the Continental Army 45. What proved to be an effective training method? A) To use the best troops as a model for other units. B) To establish rules and drill relentlessly. C) To continue training without stop. D) To show what little progress there may be.

Passage 4One of the most daring deep-space missions NASA has ever launched is turning out to be one of the least

publicized. The target is a large asteroid (小行星) named 1992KD, which orbits the sun millions of miles from Earth. But that destination is almost incidental to the performance of the spacecraft that will make the trip. Though it looks little different from countless other unmanned probes NASA has launched, the ship will be navigated by an electronic brain that has been likened to HAL, the independent-minded computer in the film 2001, and will move through space

under power of a system that has long been the stuff of technological fantasies: an ion propulsion (离子推进) engine.If all goes as planned, Deep Space 1, scheduled for launch later this month, will be the forerunner of a new’

generation of spacecraft. While flight planners hope the ship will make some interesting observations about the target asteroid, including its composition and the structure of its surface, DS1 ‘s primary assignment is to validate a host of

new technologies NASA has always considered too risky to try on a mission that may attract a great deal of public attention. Says Mar Rayman of Jet Propulsion Laboratory, DS1’ s chief engineer, “We have an unproven propulsion system, powered by an unproven solar panel, commanded by an unproven navigation system.

What is most remarkable about the spacecraft is how it gets from place to place. After being launched by an ordinary rocket, DS1 will be pushed through space by an engine that works by firing electrons into atoms of xenon gas, stripping each of an electron and giving the atoms an electric charge—ionizing them. The ions are then accelerated through an electric field and emitted from the thrusters at 65,000 m. p. h. Despite that speed, the particles produce little thrust, comparable to the weight of a piece of paper.46. What is special about NASA’s planned deep-space mission regarding its publicity? A) It is targeted at a large asteroid. B) It is much less reported by the media. C) It is the same as other unmanned probes. D) It isn’t certain whether it will be successful.47. What is the primary, purpose of the DS1 mission? A) Testing new technologies for future spacecraft. B) Calculating risks for the benefit of other missions. C) Studying the surface of a large asteroid. D) Proving a new generation of spacecraft.48. Once launched, whether the spacecraft will reach its destination is incidental to the performance of all the

following EXCEPT ___________. A) the self-navigation system B) the ion-powered engine C) the solar cells D) the flight planners49. How does the DS1 leave the earth’s orbit? A) By its special propulsion engine. B) By a conventional rocket engine. C) By firing electrons into the atoms of xenon gas. D) By accelerating through an electric field.50. Which of the following is NOT true according to this article? A) The author likens the DS1’s navigation system to an electronic brain. B) The DS1 is the first of a new breed of spacecraft. C) The DS1 chief engineer has nothing to lose in such a mission. D) The DS1’s power system used to be the dream of scientists.

Part II Reading ComprehensionDirection: There are four reading passages in this part. Each passage is followed by five question, for each question there are four suggested answers marked A, B, C and D. Choose the best answer and blacken the corresponding letter on ANSWER SHEET.

Passage 1“You must be mad” was the general comment of family, friends and colleagues. “Giving up a teaching post now,

when there isn’t much chance of finding another one, ever!”“And what about all that lovely money you’re earning, and all those long holidays!”

But I had already come to my lonely decision, after months of concealed suffering. The devil of unemployment

should be enough to make those of us fortunate enough to have a job pulling up the drawbridge (吊桥) behind us, and yet here was I, prepared to join the noisy army on the opposite bank. But I knew I could no longer continue in the teaching profession. To wake up in the morning with a fear of the day ahead, to force a hasty breakfast down an unwilling throat and then set off for work with pounding heart and frozen

face had become habitual, and I had turned to tranquilizers (镇定剂) to help me along. It had not always been as bad as this. Ten years before I had managed well enough, and the holidays used to come round just in time. But I, in common with most other teachers, am enormously self-critical, and I knew now that I was no longer “managing”. My classes were noisy, the children were not learning very much, and my’ attempts to cope with changing teaching methods produced very little effect. At one time my very presence in the doorway would be enough to ensure a partial silence. Now they give a vague “Hello, Miss”, and carry on. I had run out of enjoyment and

enthusiasm. It was time to stop. But was it all my own failure? In fairness to myself, I don’t think it was. I had plenty of ideas, I loved my subject, and, by and large, I liked children. I had been idealistic. But the reality I faced was bored children, over-stimulated by video-watching the night before and tired out by a late bedtime. They were children who were given the wrong food at the wrong time, who came breakfast-less to school and then stuffed themselves with gum, chocolates and sweets bought on the way; who

were “high” with hunger in the lesson before lunchtime and giggled (咯咯地笑) restlessly as the cooking smell from the school kitchen came drifting to all floors. I have been trying to create the basic conditions in which teaching becomes possible, but I have failed, and no longer have the stomach for the job. And that is why I’m giving up.31. What does “the noisy army” (Para. 3) refer to? A) a military force B) a labour union C) the unemployed D) demonstrators32. The writer decided to quit her job chiefly because ____________. A) the teaching profession is too much for her B) she was too hard on herself and therefore unhappy with her teaching effect C) the class had become impossible to teach D) she didn’t like new teaching methods33. Which of the following statement is closest in meaning to “At one time my very presence in the doorway would be

enough to ensure a partial silence.” (Para6)? A) Formerly, my arrival at the classroom would very well make at least some of the students stop talking or playing. B) For a while, when I appeared in the doorway, the class would quite down. C) Every time I made my appearance in the doorway, the students would become silent. D) Once in the past, I could silence half of the class simply by standing in the doorway!34. All of the following are reasons that children couldn’t concentrate in class EXCEPT ________.

A) they were tired because they went to bed too late B) they were fed up with their lessons and school work C) they were not properly fed by their parents D) they were overexcited by too much video-watching the night before35. Which of the following about the writer is true? A) Being too young, the writer found it difficult to grow affectionate for children. B) As she set off for work, she felt nervous at the prospect of teaching. C) It was very difficult for her to give up teaching. D) Although she was responsible, she never truly enjoyed teaching.

Passage 2Today’s kids absorb lots of messages, values and attitudes from the media and from friends. Advertisements

whet their appetite for many things they don’t need. What they do need is an understanding of the value of the dollar.

How do kids learn to be economically savvy (机智的) ? Most schools do not teach the financial facts of life; it’s up to parents to help kids grow into responsible and skillful money earners, savers and spenders. To learn about money, kids first need to have some. Early on, parents often hand out money on an as-needed basis. But experts say paying a regular allowance is the best way to teach children the meaning of money, how to use it and how to plan. Some call it “learning capital”. A child is ready for an allowance around age five or six, when he becomes aware of the relationship between money and shopping, can differentiate coins, can add and subtract, has spending opportunities and asks parents to buy

him things. How much allowance? Some experts recommend giving a dollar for each year of age, but Sharon Danes, a professor at the University of Minnesota disagrees: “I think $ 5 a week is too much for a five-year-old, and $15 is probably not enough for a 15-year-old.” What’s right for the child depends on three factors: the child’s level of development, what the parents can afford, and what the parents expect him to pay for.

Whatever the amount, kids will soon feel they need more. But Sharon Danes insists that children don’t need an automatic raise each year. “There’s no lesson to be learned when children expect an increase just because they’re a year older,” she says. “The reason for getting a greater part of the family-income pie is so they can learn more about balancing demands and resources.”36. In Para. 1, “whet their appetite” most probably means ____________. A) make them wish for more B) spoil their appetite

C) sharpen their sensation D) stimulate their consuming power37. What is the best way for children to learn to be economically savvy? A) Parents don’t give them money until they really need it. B) Children are taught the financial facts of life at school. C) Parents regularly give them a certain amount of money. D) Parents help children become skillful money earners.38. At the age of five or six, children are capable of all the following EXCEPT _____. A) identifying the face value of money B) solving simple arithmetic problems C) knowing that with money they can get things from stores D) going shopping themselves39. What is Professor Sharon Danes’ attitude toward the proposal of giving children a dollar for each year of age? A) She believes this will surely encourage children to ask for more. B) She doubts whether there is such thing as “right amount” for parents to give to their children. C) She thinks it is unnecessary to increase the amount each year. D) She insists that children can only get money when they study well.40. Which of the following is closest in meaning to the last sentence of the passage? A) The purpose of giving children money is to let them know more about how to use money and how to plan. B) If they want to get more from the family income, they must have enough knowledge of family economy. C) Children can get more money on the condition that they are able to balance demands and resources. D) To give children more money is to make them understand the importance of balancing demands and resources.

Passage 3 A number of recent books have reworked subjects, forms and writing techniques. Today's children read stories about divorce, death, drugs, air pollution, political extremism and violence. Relying on the magic of the illustrator, all kinds of books are being published. Before they know to read, babies can play with books made of cloth or books made to take in the bath. Later on,

they are given picture books that may be cubical（立方形）or triangular, outsized or very small. They also like work-

books which come with watercolors and paintbrushes, and comic books（漫画册） filled with details where they have to spot a figure hidden among thousands of others.

Not that the traditional children's books are being neglected. There are still storybooks where the pages pop up（跳起）when they are opened, to make a forest or a castle. Among the latest ideas are interactive stories where readers

choose the plot（情节） or ending they want, and books on CD, which are very popular in rich industrialized countries. The public has enthusiastically greeted the wealth of creativity displayed by publishers. "Previously, giving a child a book as often seen as improper," says Canadian author Marie-France Hebért. Her books, published by a French-language publisher, sell like hot cakes in hundreds of thousands of copies. "There's a real appetite for reading these days and I try to get across to children the passion for reading which is food for the mind and the heart, like a medicine or a vitamin."41."Reworked" as used in Paragraph 1 means "___________________".A) reworded B) rewritten C) processed D) revised42.In the second paragraph the author lists the kinds of books ___________________.A) recently published B) of various shapes C) babies like D) popular among children43.Which of the following statements is true?A) Books made of cloth came out earlier than picture books.B) When you buy work-books you will be given free comic books.C) Traditional children's books are not being removed from market.D) Babies cannot have books while taking a bath.44. The expression "get across to children" in the last paragraph probably means "___________________".A) pass on to children B) make children believe C) teach children D) get around to children45.The main idea of the last paragraph is that people have ___________________.A) warmly welcomed the abundance of wealth shown by publishersB) warmly welcomed the enormous amount of creativity shown by publishersC) showed great enthusiasm in publishers of treat wealthD) reacted strongly to the unlimited creativity of publishers

Passage 4

Every body gets sick. Disease and injury make us suffer throughout our lives until, finally, some attack on the body brings our existence to an end. Fortunately, most of us in modern industrialized societies can take relatively good health for granted most of the time. In fact, we tend to fully realize the importance of good health only when we or those close to us become seriously ill. At such times we keenly appreciate the ancient truth that health is our most

precious asset, one for which we might readily give up such rewards as power, wealth, or fame（荣誉）. Because ill health is universal problem, affecting both the individual and society, the human response to sickness is always socially organized. No society leaves the responsibility for maintaining health and treating ill health entirely to the individual. Each society develops its own concepts of health and sickness and authorizes certain people to decide who is sick and how the sick should be treated. Around this focus there arises, over time, a number of standards,

values, groups, statuses, and roles: in other words, an institution（体系；机构）.To the sociologist（社会学家）, then, medicine is the institution concerned with the maintenance of health and treatment of disease. In the simplest pre-industrial societies, medicine is usually an aspect of religion. The social arrangements for

dealing with sickness are very elementary, often involving only two roles: the sick and the healer（治疗者） .The

latter is typically also the priest（牧师）, who relies primarily on religious ceremonies, both to identify and to treat disease: for example, bones may be thrown to establish a cause, songs may be used to bring about a cure. In modern industrialized societies, on the other hand, the institution has become highly complicated and specialized, including dozens of roles such as those of brain surgeon, druggist, hospital administrator, linked with various organizations such as nursing homes, insurance companies, and medical schools. Medicine, in fact, has become the subject of intense

sociological interest precisely because it is now one of the most pervasive and costly institutions of modern society.46.Which of the following statements is true according to Paragraph 1?A) Nowadays most people believe they can have fairly good health.B) Human life involves a great deal of pain and suffering.C) Most of us are aware of the full value of health.D) Ancient people believed that health was more expensive than anything else.47.The word "authorize" in Paragraph 2 means "___________________".A) make way for B) give power to C) write an order for D) make it possible for48.In Paragraph 2, we learn that the sociologist regards medicine as ___________________.A) a system whose purpose is to treat disease and keep people healthyB) a universal problem that affects every societyC) a social responsibility to treat ill healthD) a science that focuses on the treatment of disease49.According to Paragraph 3, which of the following is NOT true?A) In the past, bones might be used to decide why people fell ill.B) In pre-industrial societies priests sometimes treated patients by singing.C) Modern medicine is so complicated that sociology no longer has a place in it.D) There were only two roles in an elementary medical system, the patient and the one who tried to cure him.50.The author of this passage is mainly concerned with ___________________.A) sociological aspects in medicine B) medical treatment of diseasesC) the development of medical science D) the role of religion in medicine

Part II Reading ComprehensionDirection: There are four reading passages in this part. Each passage is followed by five question, for each question there are four suggested answers marked A, B, C and D. Choose the best answer and blacken the corresponding letter on ANSWER SHEET. Passage1.

Most young people enjoy some forms of physical activity. It may be walking, cycling or swimming, or in winter

skating or skiing. It may be a game of some kind—foot-ball, hockey, golf, or tennis. It may be mountaineering(登山).Those who have a passion for climbing high and difficult mountains are often looked upon with astonishment.

Why are men and women willing to suffer cold and hardship, and to take risks on high mountains? This astonishment is caused probably by the difference between mountaineering and other forms of activity to which men give their leisure.

Mountaineering is a sport and not a game. There are no man made rules, as there are for such games as golf and football. There are, of course, rules of a different kind which it would be dangerous to ignore, but it is this freedom from man-made rules that makes mountaineering attractive to many people. Those who climb mountains are free to use their own methods.

If we compare mountaineering and other more familiar sports, we might think that one big difference is that mountaineering is not a “team game”. We should be mistaken in this. There are, it is true, no “matches” between “teams” of climbers, but when climbers are on a rock face linked by a rope on which their lives may depend, there is obviously teamwork.

The mountain climber knows that he may have to fight forces that are stronger and are powerful than man. He has to fight the forces of nature. His sport requires high mental and physical qualities.

A mountain climber continues to improve in skill year after year. A skier if probably past his best by the age of thirty, and most international tennis champions are in their early twenties. But it is not unusual for a man of fifty or sixty to climb the highest mountains in the Alps. They may take more time that younger men, but they probably climb with more skill and less waste of effort, and they certainly experience equal enjoyment.31. Mountaineering involves everything EXCEPT ______________. A) cold B) hardship C) risk D) astonishment32. The difference between a sport and a game has to do with the kind of __________. A) activity B) rules C) uniform D) participants

33. Mountaineering can be called a team sport because _________. A) it is an Olympic event B) teams compete against each other C) mountaineers depend on each other while climbing D) there are 5 climbers on each team34. Mountaineers compete against __________. A) nature B) each other C) other teams D) international standards35. The best title for the passage is ___________. A) Mountaineering Is Different from Golf and Football B) Mountaineering Is More Attractive than Other Sports C) Mountaineering D) Mountain Climbers

Passage 2Within fifteen years Britain and other nations should be well on with the building of huge industrial complexes

for the recycling of waste. The word rubbish could lose its meaning because everything that goes into the dumps could be made into something useful. Even the most dangerous and unpleasant wastes would provide energy if nothing else.

The latest project is to take a city of around half a million inhabitants and discover exactly what raw materials go into it and what go out. The aim is to find out how much of these raw materials could be provided if a plant for recycling waste were built just outside the city. This plant would recycle not only metal such as steel, lead and copper, but also paper and rubber as well.

Another new project is being set up to discover the best ways of sorting and separating the rubbish. When this project is complete, the rubbish will be processed like this: first, it will pass through sharp metal bars which will tear open the plastic bags in which rubbish is usually packed; then it will pass through a powerful fan to separate the lightest elements from the heavy solids; after that grounders and rollers break up everything that can be broken. Finally the rubbish will pass under magnets, which will remove the bits of iron and steel; the rubber and plastic will then be sorted out in the final stage.

The fist full-scale giant recycling plants are, perhaps, fifteen years away. Indeed, with the growing cost of transporting rubbish to more distant dumps, some big citied will be forced to build their own recycling plats before long.36.The main purpose of the passage is __________ .

A) to show us a future way of recycling wastesB) to tell the importance of recycling wastesC) to warn people the danger of some wastesD) to introduce a new recycling plant

37.How many stages are there in the recycling process?A) 3. B) 4. C) 5. D) 6.

38.What is the main reason for big cities to build their own recycling plants?A) To deal with wastes in a better way.B) It’s a good way to gain profits.C) It’s more economical than to dump wastes in some distant places.D) Energy can be got at a lower price.

39.The first full-scale huge recycling plants _________ .A) have been in existence for 15 years

B) takes 15 years to buildC) can’t be built until 15 years laterD) will remain functioning for 15 years

40. Which of the following statements is true?A) The word “rubbish” will soon disappear from dictionaries.B) Dangerous wastes can be recycled into nothing but energy.C) To recycle paper and rubber will still be impossible even with the new recycling methods.D) Big cities will soon have their own recycling plants.

Passage 3.Most of us trade money for entertainment. Movies, concerts and shows are enjoyable but expensive. If you think

that you can’t have a good time without spending a lot of money, read on. A little resourcefulness(足智多谋) and a few minutes of newspaper-scanning should give you some pleasant surprises.

People may be the most interesting show in a large city. Stroll through busy streets and see what everybody else is doing. You will probably see people from all over the world; you will certainly see people of every age, size, and shape, and you’ll get a free fashion show, too. Window-shopping is also a safe sport if the stores are closed.

Passage 4Crocodiles only live where it is hot. They are found in India, Australia, Africa and America. Crocodile is an egg-

producing animal. They spend most of their time lying around in the mud or the rivers. The female crocodiles bury their eggs under the mud. The crocodile’s long powerful tail is used when the animal is swimming. It is also an excellent weapon, because it can be swung with great speed and force. One blow will knock down a man or even a big animal at once. The crocodile is very well protected against its enemies by the hard bony plate which cover most of its body, but because of the way its neck is formed, it cannot turn its head from side to side and so it can only see in front of itself. The crocodile has its teeth cleaned by the crocodile bird. For its food this bird takes the bits lest in the crocodile’s mouth. This helps the crocodile, which cannot clean its own teeth for it cannot move its tongue up and down. With its rows terrible pointed teeth it seizes its food, which may be a fish, an animal or even a careless man, and then holds it below the water until it drowns.

The long-nosed crocodile is shy and timid and because of this, the people of West Africa, where it lives, sometimes catch it for food. Many, many centuries ago there were crocodiles in England. We know this because we have found their bones buried far down in the earth on which London is built. But the Britain of today is too cold for them to live in. this is a good thing for English people for crocodiles may grow to over thirty feet in length. When the lie floating in the water, they look like floating tree-trunks and it is often impossible to tell that they are there.46.The female crocodile ____________.

For each blank there are four choices marked A), B), C) and D) on the right side of the paper, you should choose the ONE that best fits into the passage. Then mark the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet with a single line through the centre.

For many people today, reading is no longer relaxation. To keep up their work they must read letters, reports, trade publications, interoffice communications, not to mention newspapers and magazines: a never-ending flood of words. In _51__ a job or advancing in one, the ability to read and comprehend _52__ can mean the difference between success and failure. Yet the unfortunate fact is that most of us are __53_ readers. Most of us develop poor reading _54__ at an early age, and never get over them. The main deficiency _55__ in the actual stuff of language itself-words. Taken individually, words have _56__ meaning until they are strung together into phrases, sentences and paragraphs. _57__, however, the untrained reader does not read group of words. He laboriously reads one word at a time, often regressing to _58__ words or passages. Regression, the tendency to look back over _59__ you have just read, is a common bad habit in reading. Another habit which _60__ down the speed of reading is vocalization--- sounding each word either orally or mentally as _61__ reads. To overcome these bad habits, some reading clinics use a device called an _62__, which moves a bar (or curtain) down the page at a predetermined speed. The bar is set at a slightly faster rate _63__ the reader finds comfortable, in order to “stretch” him. The accelerator forces the reader to read fast, _64__ word-by-word reading, regression and subvocalization, practically impossible. At first _65__ is sacrificed for speed. But when you learn to read ideas and

concepts, you will not only read faster, _66__ your comprehension will improve. Many people have found _67__ reading skill drastically improved after some training. _68__ Charlce Au, a business manager, for instance, his reading rate was a reasonable good 172 words a minute _69__ the training, now it is an excellent 1,378 words a minute. He is delighted that now he can _70__ a lot more reading material in a short period of time.

Part II Reading ComprehensionDirection: There are four reading passages in this part. Each passage is followed by five question, for each question there are four suggested answers marked A, B, C and D. Choose the best answer and blacken the corresponding letter on ANSWER SHEET.

Passage 1

Suppose we built a robot (机器人) to explore the planet Mars. We provide the robot with seeing detectors to keep it away from danger. It is powered entirely by the sun. Should we program the robot to be equally active at all times? No. The robot would be using up energy at a time when it was not receiving any. So we would probably program it to cease its activity at night and to wake up at dawn the next morning.

According to the evolutionary (进化的) theory of sleep, evolution equipped us with a regular pattern of sleeping

and waking for the same reason. The theory does not deny (否认 ) that sleep provides some important restorative functions. It merely says that evolution has programmed us to perform those functions at a time when activity would be inefficient and possibly dangerous. However, sleep protects us only from the sort of trouble we might walk into; it does not protect us from trouble that comes looking for us. So we sleep well when we are in familiar, safe place, but we sleep lightly, if at all, when we fear that bears will nose into the tent.

The evolutionary theory accounts well for differences in sleep among creatures. Why do cats, for instance, sleep so much, while horses sleep so little? Surely cats do not need five times as much repair and restoration as horses do. But cats can afford to have long periods of inactivity because they spend little time eating and are unlikely to be attacked while they sleep. Horses must spend almost all their waking hours eating, because what they eat is very low in energy value. Moreover, they cannot afford to sleep too long or too deeply, because their survival depends on their ability to run away from attackers. 31. The author uses the example of the robot in space exploration to tell us ______.

A) the differences between robots and men B) the reason why men need to sleep C) about the need for robots to save power D) about the danger of men working at night

32. Evolution has programmed man to sleep at night chiefly to help him ______. A) maintain a regular pattern of life B) prevent trouble that comes looking for him

C) avoid danger and inefficient labor D) restore his bodily functions 33. According to the author, we cannot sleep well when we _____. A) are worrying about our safety B) are overworked C) are in a tent D) are away from home 34. Cats sleep much more than horses do partly because cats _____. A) need more time for restoration B) are unlikely to be attackers C) are more active than horses when they are awake D) spend less time eating to get enough energy 35. Which of the following is the main idea of the passage? ______.

A) Evolution has equipped all creatures with a regular pattern of sleeping and waking. B) The study of sleep is an important part of the evolutionary theory. C) Sleeping patterns must be taken into consideration in the designing of robots. D) The sleeping pattern of a living creature is determined by the food it eats.

Passage 2The physicians in a hospital form the core of the medical staff. But they could not provide effective medical care

to their patients without the help of numerous other medical employees. From the viewpoint of the patients, the nursing staff is particularly important. Nurses are usually in close contact with patients as long as they are in the hospital.

A nurse does not study for as many years as a doctor, however, each must be equally dedicated. Caring for sick persons requires a great deal of patience and concern. Most nurses work long days, and they often must work at odd hours or during the night.

Under the supervision of the head nurse, the nursing staff must provide nursing services on a 24-hour basis and attend to patients’ needs. This responsibility continues around the clock, and so nurses must work in shifts. A shift is a period of duty, usually eight in length. The nurses on the ward rotate their shifts. Some take turns working night duty; others work odd shifts. All of them work out of a central area on the ward called the nurses’ station.

A nurse must always be alert. She can never afford to be careless. This is true in all nursing situation, but it is especially true in the intensive care unit. Patients under intensive care are critically ill, and they must be monitored at all time. The nurses who do intensive care duty have one of the most demanding jobs in the hospital.

Serving as a nurse can be a very rewarding job. But it is not an easy one. Not every person is suited to become a nurse. Only very dedicated people have chosen nursing as a profession.36. The nursing staff_______

A) are central to the medical staff. B) Play an important role in caring for patients.C) Can work effectively without physicians. D) Are always in close contact with the patients.

37. Why don’t nurses study for as many years as doctors?A) most nurses work long days.B) They don’t treat patients for illness and injury.C) Caring for sick patients requires patience and concern.D) They are not dedicated.

38. Why must nurses work in shifts?A) they are careless.B) Nursing services must be provided continuously.

C) They work at night form time to time.D) A shift is usually eight hours long.

39. What kind of person is suited to become a nurse?A) a very careful personB) an able personC) a very dedicated personD) a specially trained person

40. Which of the following is NOT mentioned by the author?A) Nurses are specially trained to offer bedside care to sick person. B) Patients cannot do without nurses.C) Nurses cannot practise medicine. D) Nurses often work during the night.

Passage 3

The American common school differed from the European school in that it was from the outset an expression of the desire on the part of the American colonies to develop a type of intellectual freedom not prevalent in Europe. There was a further characteristic of the American common school which distinguished it from its European predecessors. The school was, from the beginning, controlled by local authority. Communities were indeed compelled by early legislation in the colonies to maintain an educational institution of some kind for the young people, but the details of organization were left to the communities.

We find that there was the greatest variety in the method of controlling these schools. In New England the town meeting determined the policy of the school. It set the salary of the teacher, and very frequently went so far as to select the teacher, although it commonly delegated supervision of the school to a trustee or to a committee. This

committee often included the pastor(牧师) of the church and one or more of the leading citizens.41. One of the major differences between American and European schools was _____

A) that American schools were colonial and therefore were under European control.B) that American schools desired to be expressiveC) that American schools emphasized the need of intellectual freedomD) that American schools were for common citizens while European schools were for nobles

42. The word “prevalent” (Para. 1, Line 3) in this passage means _____ A) current B) famous C) notorious D) acceptable43. Another distinctive quality of American schools was that _____

A) the local government was free to organize its own educational systemB) the local government was compelled to follow the central authorityC) each community was free to decide whether to provide education or notD) the school was controlled by the federal government

44. Which of the following statements is not true?A) Each community differed in the method of controlling the schools.B) The salary of the teacher was determined by the local authority.C) The supervising committee of the school was often composed of church people and some important figures of

the town.D) All communities carried the same principle in organizing these schools.

45. What is the passage mainly about?A) The intellectual development of American schools.B) The independence of American schools from Europe.C) The central control of American schools.

D) The role of local authority in American schools.

Passage 4Stress may be defined as the response of the body to any demand. Whenever people experience something

pleasant or unpleasant, we say they are under stress. We call the pleasant kind “eustress”, the unpleasant kind “distress”.

People sometimes compare our lives with that of the cave man, who didn’t have to worry about the stock market or the atomic bomb. They forget that the cave man worried about being eaten by a bear or about dying of hunger-----things that few people worry about today. It’s not that people suffer more stress today; it’s just that they think they do.

It is inconceivable that anyone should have no stress at all. Most people who are ambitious and want to accomplish something live on stress. They need it. But excessive stress is by all means harmful. Worse, chronic exposure to stress over a long time may cause more serious diseases and may actually shorten your life.

The most frequent causes of distress in man are psychological----lack of adaptability, not having a code of behavior. So the secret of coping with stress is not to avoid it, but to do what you like to do and what you were made to do, at your own fate. For most people, it is really a matter of learning how to behave in various situations. The most important thing is to have a code of life, to know how to live.46.The modern man is suffering _______

A) more stress than the cave man B)less stress than the cave manC) different stress from the cave man D) same stress as the cave man

47.Which of the following is an example of “eustress”?E) Being lacking in adaptability and code of life. F) The Olympic Winner at the moment of his glory.G) Making a turtle run as fast as a rabbit. H) A matter of learning how to avoid stress.

48. In the author’s opinion, stress is _____I) always harmful to you J)a disease in your lifeK) an example of human experience L) a normal state of everyone

49.According to the passage, which of the following may be the cause of distress at present?M) The economic and energy problems. N) Being unsuitable for the situations.O) Unpleasant medical service and diseases. P) Being short of provisions and adaptability.

50.The main idea of the passage is that you should____Q) overcome the serious diseases R) cope with stress wit the public senseS) learn how to live in the best way for you T) have the response of the body to any demand

Part II Reading ComprehensionDirection: There are four reading passages in this part. Each passage is followed by five question, for each question there are four suggested answers marked A, B, C and D. Choose the best answer and blacken the corresponding letter on ANSWER SHEET. Passage 1

Faces, like fingerprints, are unique. Did you ever wonder how it is possible for us to recognize people? Even a skilled writer probably could not describe all the features that make one face different from another. Yet a very young child—or even an animal, such as a pigeon—can learn to recognize faces, we all take this ability for granted.

We also tell people apart by how they behave. When we talk about someone’s personality, we mean the ways in which he or she acts, speaks, thinks and feels that make that individual different from other.

Like the human face, human personality is very complex. But describing someone’s personality in words is somewhat easier than describing his face. If you were asked to describe what a “nice face” looked like, you probably would have a difficult time doing so.

But if you were asked to describe a “nice person”, you might begin to think about someone who was kind, considerate, friendly, warm, and so forth.

There are many words to describe how a person thinks, feels and acts. Fordin Allport, an American psychologist, found nearly 18,000 English words charactering differences in people’s behavior. And many of us use this information as a basis for describing, or typing, his personality. Bookworms, conservatives, military types—people are described with such terms.

People have always tried to “type” each other. Actors in early Greek drama wore masks to show the audience

whether they played the villains or the hero’s role. In fact, the words “person” and “personality” come from the Latin persona, meaning “mask”. Today most television and movie actors do not wear masks. But we easily tell the “good guys” from the “bad guys” because the two types differ in appearance as well as in actions.

31. By using the simile (直喻) of fingerprints, the author tells us that _____.A) people differ from each other in facial featuresB) people have difficulty in describing the features of fingerprintsC) people have different personalitiesD) people can learn to recognize faces

32. According to this passage, some animals have the gift of _____.A) typing each other B) telling people apart by how they behaveC) recognizing human faces D) telling good people from bad people

33. Who most probably knows best hw to describe people’s personality?A) Psychologists. B) The modern TV audience.C) The ancient Greek audience D) The movie star.

Passage 2Everyone talks about the “five” senses of man. And it’s true that we get our information about the outside world

from our sense of sight, hearing, smell, touch and taste. Researchers tell us that the sense of sight—our visual sense—gives us up to 80% of what we know about the world outside our bodies; while the other senses, the auditory (hearing), the olfactory (smell), the tactile (touch), and the gustatory (taste) bring into our brains information about the other twenty percent of what is happening. But there are two other senses that we cannot get along without, though they are very seldom given any credit for helping us to survive in this difficult world. These are the sense of balance, and the kinesthetic sense.

The sense of balance, without which we could act like a drunkard after a heavy bout with the bottle, is located in the inner ear. The inner ear contains three curved tubes (the semi-circular canals) filled with liquids. The shifting of these liquids activates nerve endings in the linings of the canals, and nerve impulses from these nerve endings help our brains to keep us upright.

The kinesthetic sense is actually made up of nerve impulses that arise from nerves planted in close contact with

our muscles. These nerve messages are constantly telling us what position our limbs， trunk and head are in. They serve as a continuous “feedback” system to help us know how to move our various parts, and when to hold them still. Otherwise, we would lack the coordination to run, jump, dance, twist, or even sit still. Incidentally, the word “kinesthetic” comes from two Greek words meaning “motion” and “feeling”. The kinesthetic sense gives us our ideas about our own motion.36. The best title for this passage is _____. A) Our Five Major Senses. B) The Overlooked Senses. C) The most Important Senses D) The Sense of Balance.

37. What is the main idea of the passage?A) We get most of our information about the outside world form our senses of sight, hearing, smell, touch and taste.B) The sense of sight gives us up to 80% of what we know about the world outside our bodies.C) The sense of balance keeps us upright.D) Two important senses which are often over-looked are the kinesthetic sense and the sense of the balance.

38. The kinesthetic sense is located in the ______. A) nerves B) brain C) skin D) inner ear39.Nerve impulses originating in the inner ear______.

A) keep us vertical B) regulate our hearing C) gives us our ideas about our motion D) tell us what is happening in the outside world.

40. People who cannot see are able to get along in the world, but it would be probably most difficult to get along if we lost the use of the ______.A) Sense of smell.B) Sense of touch.C) Sense of tasteD) Kinesthetic sense.

Passage 340 years ago the idea of disabled people doing sport was never heard of. But when the annual games for the

disabled were started as Stoke Mandeville, England in 1948 by Sir Ludwig Guttmann, the situation began to change.Sir Ludwig Guttmann, who had been driven to England in 1939 from Nazi German, had been asked by the

British government to set up an injuries centre at Stoke Mandeville Hospital near London. His ideas about treating injuries included sport for the disabled.

In the first games just two teams of injured soldiers took part. The next year, 1949, five teams took part. From those beginnings, thing have developed fast. Teams now come from abroad to Stoke Mandeville every year. In 1960 the first Olympics for the disabled were held in Rome. In the same place was the normal Olympic Games. Now, every four years the Olympic Games for the Disabled are held, if possible, in the same place as the normal Olympic Games, although they are organized separately. In other years Games for the Disabled are still held at Stoke Mandeville. In the 1984 wheelchair Olympic Games, 1064 wheelchair athletes from about 40 countries took part. Unfortunately, they were held at Stoke Mandeville and not in Los Angeles, along with the other Olympics.

The Games have been a great success in promoting international friendship and understanding, and in proving that being disabled does not mean you can’t enjoy sport. One small source of disappointment for those who organize, and take part in the games, however, has been the unwillingness of the International Olympic Committee to include disabled events at the Olympic Games for the able-bodied. Perhaps a few more year are still needed to convince those fortune enough not to be disabled that their disabled fellow athletes should not be excluded.41. The first games for the disabled were held _____ after Sir Ludwig Guttmann arrived in England.

A) 40 years B) 21 years C) 10 years D) 9 years42. Besides Stoke Mandeville, surely the games for the disabled were once held in _____.

A) New York B) London C) Rome D) Los Angeles43. In Paragraph 3, the word athletes’ means____

A) People who support the games B) People who watch the gamesC) People who organize the games D) People who compete in the games

44. Which of the following statements is NOT true?A) Sir Ludwig Guttmann is an early organizer of the games for the disabled.B) Sir Ludwig Guttmann is an injured soldier.

C) Sir Ludwig Guttmann is from Germany.’D) Sir Ludwig Guttmann is welcomed by the British government.

45. From the passage, we may conclude that the writer is _____.A) One of the organizers of the games for the disabled. B) A disabled person who once took part in the games.C) Against holding the games for the disabled. D) In favor of holding the games for the disabled.

Passage 4

Space is a dangerous place, not only because of meteors(流星) but also because of rays from the sun and other stars. The atmosphere again acts as our protective blanket on earth. Light gets through, and this is essential for plants to make the food which we eat. Heat, too, makes our environment endurable. Various kinds of rays come through the air from outer space, but enormous quantities of radiation from the sun are screened off. As soon as men leave the atmosphere, they are exposed to this radiation but their spacesuits or the walls of their spacecraft, if they are inside, do prevent a lot of radiation damage.

Radiation is the greatest known danger to explorers in space. The unit of radiation is called “rem”. Scientists have reason to think that a man can put up with far more radiation than 0.1 rem without being damaged; the figure of 60 rems has been agreed on. The trouble is that it is extremely difficult to be sure about radiation damage—a person may feel perfectly well, but the cells of his or her sex organs may be damage, and this will not be discovered until the birth of deformed children or even grandchildren. Missions of the Apollo flights have had to cross belts of high radiation, and during the outward and return journeys, the Apollo crew accumulated a large amount of rems. So far, no dangerous amounts of radiation have been reported, but the Apollo missions have been quite short. We simply do not know yet how men are going to get on when they spend weeks and months outside the protection of the atmosphere, working in a space laboratory. Drugs might help to decrease the damage done by radiation, but no really effective ones have been found so far.46. According to the first paragraph, the atmosphere is essential to man in that ________________. A) it protects him against the harmful rays from space B) it provides sufficient light for plant growth C) it supplies the heat necessary for human survival D) it screens off the falling meteors47. We know from the passage that _________________. A) exposure to even tiny amounts of radiation is fatal B) the effect of exposure to radiation is slow in coming C) radiation is avoidable in space exploration D) astronauts in spacesuits needn’t worry about radiation damage48. The harm radiation has done to the Apollo crew members ______________. A) is insignificant B) seems overestimated C) is enormous D) remains unknown49. It can be inferred from the passage that _________________. A) the Apollo mission was very successful B) protection from space radiation is no easy job C) astronauts will have deformed children or grandchildren D) radiation is not a threat to well-protected space explorers50. The best title for this passage would be ___________________. A) The Atmosphere and Our Environment B) Research on Radiation C) Effects of Space Radiation D) Importance of Protection against Radiation

Part II Reading ComprehensionDirection: There are four reading passages in this part. Each passage is followed by five question, for each question there are four suggested answers marked A, B, C and D. Choose the best answer and blacken the corresponding letter on ANSWER SHEET. Passage 1

InfraGard is a grass-roots effort to respond to the need for cooperation and collaboration in countering the threat of cyber crime and terrorism to private businesses and the government. By the end of September, there will be InfraGard chapters in all 50 sates, Calloway said. With advice from the FBI, each local chapter will be run by a board of directors that includes members of private industry, the academic community and public agencies. Banks, utilities, and other businesses and government agencies will use a secure Web site to share information about attempts to back into their computer networks. Members can join the system free. A key feature of the system is a two-pronged method of reporting attacks.

A “sanitized” description of a hacking attempt or other incident—one that doesn’t reveal the name or information about the victim—can be shared with other members to spot trends. Then a more detailed description also can be sent to the FBI’s computer crimes unit to interfere if there are grounds for an investigation. Cyber crime has jumped in recent years across the nation, particularly in hotbeds of financial commerce and technology like Charlotte. “Ten years ago, all you needed to protect yourself was a safe, a fence and security officers,” said Chris Swecker, who is in charge of the FBI’s Charlotte office. “Now any business with a modem is subject to attack.” FBI agents investigate computer hacking that disrupted popular Web sites including Amazon. com, CNN and Yahoo!

Several North Carolina victims have been identified this year. The investigation has also identifies computer systems in North Carolina used by hackers to commit such attacks. Prosecutions of hackers have been hampered by the reluctance of companies to report security intrusions for fear of bad publicity and lost business. Meanwhile, too many corporations have made it too easy for criminals by sacrificing security for speed and accessibility. Jack Wiles, who will lead the local InfraGard chapter’s board, said a recent report estimated 97 percent of all cyber crime goes undetected. Wiles, a computer security expert, has a firewall on his personal computer to prevent hackers from getting into his files. “I get at least one report a day that somebody was trying to get into my computer,” he said, “the Net is a wonderful place, but it’s also a dangerous one.”31. From the first paragraph, we know _____

A) InfraGard is a protective measure against cyber crimeB) InfraGard is a measure cooperation and collaborationC) there will be 50 InfraGard chapters in all sitesD) private business and the government are now committing cyber crime

32. Each local chapter of InfraGard will be run by the following EXCEPT _____A) academic communities C) FBIB) public agencies D) private industry

33. By saying “too many corporations…speed and accessibility” (Lines 4~5, Para. 3), the author means ______A) too many corporations take no notice of the security problem of computersB) criminals are sacrificing security for speed and accessibilityC) it’s very easy to sacrifice security for speed and accessibilityD) many companies suffer from computer hacking because they value speed and accessibility more than security

34. All the following are reasons for the rise in cyber crime EXCEPT _____A) victims won’t report intrusions by hackersB) victims have no firewallsC) the use of modem is increasing

D) companies don’t pay enough attention to security35. It can be concluded from the passage that _____

A) not all hacking attempts are worthy of investigationB) information of the victims is inaccessibleC) InfraGard chapters will be in effect by the end of SeptemberD) Amazon.com was often disrupted by hacking

Passage 2For some time past it has been widely accepted that babies-and other creatures-learn to do things because certain

acts lead to “rewards”; and there is no reason to doubt that this is true. But it used also to be widely believed that

effective reward, at least in the early stages, had to be directly related to such basic physiological (生理的) “drives” as thirst or hunger. In other words, a baby would learn if he got food or drink of some sort of physical comfort, not otherwise. It is now clear that this is not so. Babies will learn to behave in ways that produce results in the world with no reward except the successful outcome.

Papousek began his studies by using milk in the normal way to “reward” the babies and so teach them to carry out some simple movements, such as turning the head to one side or the other. Then he noticed that a baby who had had enough to drink would refuse the milk but would still go on making the learned response with clear signs of pleasure. So he began to study the children’s responses in situations where on milk was provided. He quickly found that children as young as four months would learn to turn their heads to right or left if the movement “switched on”. A display of lights-and indeed that they were capable of learning quite complex turns to bring about this result, for instance, two left or two right, or even to make as many three turns to one side.

Papousek’s light display was placed directly in front of the babies and he made the interesting observation that sometimes they would not turn back to watch the lights closely although they would “smile and bubble” when the display came on. Papousek concluded that it was not primarily the sight of the lights which pleased them, it was the success they were achieving in solving the problem, in mastering the skill, and that there exists a fundamental human urge to make sense of the world and bring it under intentional control. 36. According to the author, babies learn to do things which _____.

A) are directly related to pleasure B) will meet their physical needs C) will bring them a feeling of success D) will satisfy their curiosity 37. Papousek noticed in his studies that a baby _____.

A) would make learned responses when it saw the milk B) would carry out learned movements when it had enough to drink C) would continue the simple movements without being given milk D) would turn its head to right or left when it had enough to drink 38. In Papousek’s experiment babies make learned movements of the head in order to ______.

A) have the lights turned on B) be rewarded with milk C) please their parents D) be praised 39. The babies would “smile and bubble” at the lights because ______.

A) the lights were directly related to some basic “drives” B) the sight of the lights was interesting C) they need not turn back to watch the lights D) they succeeded in “switching on” the lights

40. According to Papousek, the pleasure babies get in achieving something is a reflection of _____. A) a basic human desire to understand and control the world B) the satisfaction of certain physiological needs

C) their strong desire to solve complex D) a fundamental human urge to display their learned skills

Passage 3

If women are mercilessly exploited (剥削) year after year, they have only themselves to blame. Because they tremble at the thought of being seem in public in clothes that are out of fashion, they are always taken advantage of by the designers and the big stores. Clothes which have been worn only a few times have to be put aside because of the

change of fashion. When you come to think of it, only a woman is capable of standing in front of a wardrobe (衣柜) packed full of clothes and announcing sadly that she has nothing to wear.

Changing fashions are nothing more than the intentional creation of waste. Many women spend vast sums of money each year to replace clothes that have hardly been worn. Women who cannot afford to throw away clothing in this way, waste hours of their time altering the dresses they have. Skirts are lengthened or shortened; neck-lines are lowered or raised, and so on.

No one can claim that the fashion industry contributes anything really important to society. Fashion designers

are rarely concerned with vital things like warmth, comfort and durability (耐用). They are only interested in outward appearance and they take advantage of the fact that women will put up with any amount of discomfort, as long as they look right. There can hardly be a man who hasn’t at some time in his life smiled at the sight of a woman shaking in a thin dress on a winter day, or delicately picking her way through deep snow in high-heeled shoes.

When comparing men and men and women in the matter of fashion, the conclusions to be drawn are obvious. Do the constantly changing fashions of women’s clothes, one wonders, reflect basic qualities of inconstancy and instability? Men are too clever to let themselves be cheated by fashion designers. Do their unchanging styles of dress reflect basic qualities of stability and reliability? That is for you to decide. 41. Designers and big stores always make money _____.

A) by mercilessly exploiting women workers in the clothing industry B) because they are capable of predicting new fashions C) by constantly changing the fashions in women’s clothingD) because they attach great importance to quality in women’s clothing

42. To the writer, the fact that women alter their old-fashioned dresses is seen as _____ . A) a waste of money B) a waste of time C) an expression of taste D) an expression of creativity

43. The writer would be less critical if fashion designers placed more stress on the ______ of clothing. A) cost B) appearance C) comfort D) suitability

44. According to the passage, which of the following statements is TRUE? A) New fashions in clothing are created for the commercial exploitation of women. B) The constant changes in women’s clothing reflect their strength of character.C) The fashion industry makes an important contribution to society. D) Fashion designs should not be encouraged since they are only welcomed by women.

45. By saying “the conclusion to be drawn are obvious” (Para 4, Line 1-2), the writer means that _____. A) women’s inconstancy in their choice of clothing is often laughed at

B) women are better able to put up with discomfort C) men are also exploited greatly by fashion designers D) men are more reasonable in the matter of fashion

Passage 4That “Monday morning feeling” could be a crushing pain in the chest which leaves you sweating and gasping

for breath. Recent research from Germany and Italy shows that heart at- tacks are more common on Monday mornings and doctors blame the stress of returning to work after the weekend break.

The risk of having a heart attack on any given day should be one in seven, but a six-year study coordinated by researchers at the Free University of Berlin of more than 2,600 Germans revealed that the average person had a 20 per cent higher chance of having a heart attack on a Monday than on any other day.

Working Germans are particularly vulnerable (易受伤的), with a 33 per cent higher risk at the beginning of the working week. Non-workers, by comparison, appear to be no more at risk on a Monday than any other day. A study of 11,000 Italians identified 8 a. m. on a Monday morning as the most stressful time for the heart, and both studies showed that Sunday is the least stressful day, with fewer heart attacks in both countries.

The findings could lead to a better understanding of what triggers heart attacks, according to Dr Stefan Willich

of the Free University. “We know a lot about long-term risk factors such as smoking and cholesterol(胆固醇) but we don’t know what actually triggers heart attacks, so we can’t make specific recommendations about how to prevent them,” he said. Monday mornings have a double helping of stress for the working body as it makes a rapid transition from sleep to activity, and from the relaxing weekend to the pressures of work.

“When people get up, their blood pressure and heart rate go up and there are hormonal (内分泌的) changes in their bodies,” Willich explained. “All these things can have an adverse effect in the blood system and increase the risk

of a clot (凝块) in the arteries (动脉) which will cause a heart attack”.“When people return to work after a weekend off, the pace of their life changes. They have a heavier workload,

more stress, more anger and more physical activity,” said Willich. “We need to know how these events cause changes in the body before we can understand if they cause heart attacks.”

Willich is reluctant at this stage to make specific recommendations, but he suggests that anyone who suffers from heart disease should take it easy on Monday mornings and leave potentially stressful meetings until midweek. “People should try to create a pleasant working environment,’“ he added. “Maybe this risk applies only to those who see work as a burden, and people who enjoy their work are not so much at risk. We need to find out more.”

46. A person suffering from a heart attack may have the following symptoms (症状) EXCEPTA) a feeling of being crushed B) a severe pain in the chestC) sweating D) gasping for breath

47. What’s the possible reason for less risk of a heart attack on Mondays for German non-workers ?A) They don’t get up on Mondays.B) They do nothing on Mondays.C) They have no rapid transition from relaxation to pressure.D) Their Sundays and Mondays are both stressful.

48. What may trigger heart attacks, according to the passage?A) Smoking.

B) Cholesterol.C) Fatigue. D) A clot in the arteries.

49. The scientists are quite clear __ A) how stress, anger and pressure cause changes in the body B) what specific recommendations to make C) why people enjoying work are not so much at risk

D) none of the above50. People with heart disease should follow the following suggestions EXCEPT __ A) arranging important meetings to be held on Wednesdays B) doing nothing until Monday afternoon C) seeing work as an enjoyment D) doing less work on Mondays
