Passage 1Questions 21 to 25 are based on the following passage. Hardly a week goes by without some advance in technology that would have seemed incredible 50 years ago.And we can expect the rate of change to accelerate rather than slow down within our lifetime.The developments in technology are bound to?have a dramatic effect on the future of work.By 2010, new technology will have revolutionized communications.People will be transmitting messages down telephone lines that previously would have been sent by post.Not only postmen but also clerks and secretaries will vanish in a paper-free society.All the routine tasks they perform will be carried on a tiny silicon chip so that they will be as obsolete as the horse and cart after the invention of the motor car.One change will make thousands,if not millions,redundant.Even people in traditional professions,where expert knowledge has been the key,are unlikely to escape the effects of new technology.Instead of going to a solicitor,you might go to a computer which is progammed with all the most up-to-date legal information.Doctors,too,will find that an electronic competitor will be able to carry out a much quicker and more accurate diagnosis and recommend more efficient courses of treatment.In education,teachers will be largely replaced by teaching machines far more knowledgeable than any human being.Most learning will take place in the home via video conferencing.Children will still go to school though ,until another place is created where they can make friends and develop social skills.What can we do to avoid the threat of unemployment?We shouldn’t hide our heads in the sand.Unions will try to stop change but they will be fighting a losing battle.People should get computer literate as this just might save them from professional extinction.After all,there will be a few jobs left in law,education and medicine for those few individuals who are capable of writing and programming the?software of the future.Strangely enough,there will still be jobs like rubbish collection and cleaning as it is tough to programme tasks which are largely unpredictable.21.According to the writer,the rate of change in technology ____. A)will remain the sameB)will slow down C)will speed up D)can not be predicted22.The writer expects that by 2010 new technology will have revolutionized communications and ____.A)bookshops will not existB)the present postal system will have disappearedC)people will no longer send lettersD)the postmen will have been replaced by the motor car23.From the passage,we can infer that ____.A)professionals won’t be affected by new techonologyB)doctors won’t be as efficient as computersC)computers can not replace lawyersD)experts will know less in the future24.The passage tells us that in the future____.A)children will not be taught in schoolsB)no teachers will be neededC)teachers will be less knowledgeableD)children will learn life skills at school25.In the writer’s view,____ .A)people should be prepared for the futureB)there exists no threat of unemploymentC)unions can stop the unfavourable changeD)people had better become cleaners
Passage 2Questions 26 to 30 are based on the following passage.The World Health Organization says as many as 10 million persons worldwide may have the virus(病毒) that causes AIDS.Experts believe about 350 thousand persons have the disease.And one million more may get it in the next five years.In the United States,about 50,000 persons have died with AIDS.The country’s top medical official says more than 90 percent of all Americans who had the AIDS virus five years ago are dead.There is no cure for AIDS and no vaccine(疫苗) medicine to prevent it. However,researchers know much more about AIDS than they did just a few years ago.We now know that AIDS is caused by a virus.The virus invades healthy cells including white blood cells that are part of our defense system against disease.It takes control of the healthy cell’s genetic(遗传的) material and forces the cell to make a copy of the virus. The cell then dies.And the viral particles move on to invade and kill more healthy cells.The AIDS virus is carried in a person’s body fluids.The virus can be passed sexually or by sharing instruments used to take intravenous(静脉内的) drugs.It also can be passed in blood products or from a pregnant woman with AIDS to her developing baby.Many stories about the spread of AIDS are false.You cannot get AIDS by working or attending school with someone who has the disease.You can not get it by touching,drinking glasses or other objects used by such persons.Experts say no one has gotten AIDS by living with,caring for or touching an AIDS patient.There are several warning signs of an AIDS infection.They include always feeling tired,unexplained weight loss and uncontrolled expulsion of body wastes(大小便失禁). Other warnings are the appearance of white areas on the mouth ,dark red areas of skin that do not disappear and a higher than normal body temperature.
26.Which of the following statements is NOT mentioned in the passage?A)As many as 350 thousand persons have AIDS.B)The AIDS virus is carried in a person’s body fluids.C)There’s no vaccine medicine to prevent AIDS.D)The AIDS virus is not spread by mosquitoes.27.Concerning the ways the AIDS virus can be passed,which of the following statements is wrong?A)An AIDS mother can pass on the virus to her unborn child.B)The AIDS virus can be passed on through infected blood.C)The AIDS virus can be passed on by shaking hands and sharing belongings.D)The AIDS virus is passed sexually.28.The expression “a pregnant woman”(Para. 3) means____ .A)a woman who has an unborn child in the bodyB)a woman who is taking drugC)a woman who has the AIDS virusD)an unmarried mother29.The fifth paragraph is mainly about____ .A)the results of an AIDS infectionB)the possible symptoms of an AIDS infectionC)how the AIDS virus is spreadD)the diseases AIDS patients easily have30.When the AIDS? virus attacks our defense system____ .A)it starts to destroy our white blood cellsB)we begin to feel tiredC)it means we will die very soonD)our white blood cells can control it

Passage 3Questions 31 to 35 are based on the following passage.For 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 rewards,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 or 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 taught 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 no 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 as 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.31.According to the author,babies learn to do things which____ .A)are directly related to pleasureB)will meet their physical needsC)will bring them a feeling of successD)will satisfy their curiosity32.Papousek noticed in his studies that a baby____ .A)would make learned responses when it saw the milkB)would carry out learned movements when it had enough to drinkC)would continue the simple movements without being given milkD)would turn its head to right or left when it had enough to drink33.In Papousek’s experiment babies make learned movements of the head in order to ____.A)have the lights turned onB)be rewarded with milkC)please their parentsD)be praised34.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 interestingC)they need not turn back to watch the lightsD)they succeeded in “switching on” the lights35.According to papousek’s,the pleasure babies get in achieving something is a reflection of ____.A)a basic human desire to understand and control the worldB)the satisfaction of certain physiological needsC)their strong desire to solove complex problemD)a fundamental human urge to display their learned skills

Passage 4Questions 36 to 40 are based on the following passage.The pollution of Hong Kong’s beaches by oil from a damaged tanker last year recalls a similar incident which took place in Britain in 1967 when the Torrey Canyon,a huge oil tanker,split in two and caused disaster in coastal areas.Shoals of fishes were killed,sea birds hopelessly fouled with oil and coastal holiday resorts put out of business for several weeks. As a result of this particular incident scientists are becoming restless at the thought of Britain’s inability to cope with national disasters on a large scale.The reason for their concern is that technology is rapidly outstripping(超越)man’s ability to control it.Oil tankers,for instance,have been allowed to get bigger and bigger without sufficient thought being given to emergency braking and manoeuvring arrangement.Collisions at sea continue,but little effect has been made to develop safety devices as effective as those used for aircraft.Scientists were outspoken in expressing their concern during a recent meeting of the British Association.Unanimous approval was voiced when the leading speaker urged that a permanent national rescue services should be established,equipped for any emergency and ready to move off immediately.Of all the possible disasters mentioned,the one promoting most discussion was a major release of radioactivity from a nuclear power station.One does not need a particularly vivid imagination to visualize the other possibilities discussed.What would be the effect of a jumbo-jet crashing on a large chemical plant handling destroying liquids?Could the tapping of natural gas lead to any form of collapse?Suppose a lorry full of a highly poisonous chemical crashed unseen into a large reservoir?Dams can burst,abnormal conditions can lead to massive electrical blackouts.An intensive study of such possibilities could at least reduce the effects of future disasters.For example,it would mean that a number of technical alternatives?(such as the choice between detergent or chalk for dispersing oil) could be examined and tested in advance so that specially trained expert would know exactly what action was needed in a given emergency.36.The main idea of the second paragraph is that ____.A)safety precautions in aircraft are not as effective as those used on shipsB)modern oil tankers can stop or turn easily in spite of their sizeC)there are now fewer collisions at sea because of modern safety devicesD)oil tankers are so big that special devices are needed37.The idea of a permanent national rescue service was welcomed by ____? of those present at the meeting of the British Association.A)all????? B)the most outspoken????? C)some????? D)most38.In the fourth paragraph the writer states that ____ .A)on one occasion radioactivity escaped from a nuclear power stationB)an areoplane carrying destroying liquids might crash into chemical plantC)a lorry once crashed into a reservoirD)a terrible accident could happen in a nuclear power station39.The main idea of the final paragraph is that ____.A)in an emergency all the technical alternations should be studiedB)experts should be specially trained to determine the exact difference between detergent and chalkC)we ought to decide what measures to take before a disaster occursD)technical experts should be examined and tested to see whether they are capable of selecting the right course of action in a future emergency40.Of the following suggested titles the one most accurately summing up the?passage is ____ .A)The Dangers of Modern TechnologyB)The Problem of Oil PollutionC)Some Interesting AccidentsD)A Meeting of the British Association

Directions:There is 1 passage? in this part with five?questions or unfinished statements.Read the passage carefully.Then answer the questions or complete the statements in the fewest possible words(not exceeding 10 words).
Loneliness is a curious thing. Most of us can remember feeling most lonely when we were not in fact alone at all, but when we were surrounded by people.Everyone?has experienced,at some time,that utter sense of isolation that comes over you?when you’re at a party or in an audience at a lecture.It suddenly seems to you as if everybody knows everybody else;everybody is sure of himself;everybody,that is, except you.This feeling of loneliness which can overcome you when you are in a crowd is very difficult to get rid of.People living alone are advised to tackle their loneliness by joining a club or a society,by going out and meeting people.Does this really help?There are no easy solutions.Your first day at work,or at a new school or university,is a typical situation in which you are likely to feel lonely.You feel that everybody else is full of confidence and knows what to do ,but you are adrift and?helpless.The fact of the matter is that,in order to survive,we all put on a show of self-confidence to hide our uncertainties and doubts.In a big city it is particularly easy to get the feeling that everybody except you is leading a full,rich,busy life. Everybody is going somewhere,and you tend to?assume that they are going somewhere nice and interesting,whereas your destination is less exciting and fulfilling.71.What is the passage mainly about?72.We feel mostly lonely when we____.73.What do people usually do to tackle their loneliness?74.Why do we try to hide our sense of loneliness when we start a new job?[ZK)]75.What do you tend to assume other’s life to be when you are in a big city?

Part Ⅱ Reading ComprehensionPassage One【短文大意】这篇论述文论述了现代社会的科学技术日新月异,必将对未来社会的工作产生重大的影响。例如新技术对通讯方式的影响,将使诸如邮差、职员、秘书等事务性工作者消失。第二段论述即使传统上需要专业知识的行业也会受到新技术的影响。人们不用再找律师询问法律知识;医生会受到计算机的挑战;老师也会大部分被机器取代。人们通常在家里通过可视课堂学习,孩子们仍然上学也只是为了交朋友和培养社会能力。因此,新技术将对我们造成失业的威胁。第三段告诉我们应直面现实。(not hide our heads in the sand)工会为减少失业所做的努力必将失败,人们只有会用电脑才有幸不致失业,毕竟,各行业都需要有会编写电脑程序的人。唯独收集垃圾的清洁工不须会用电脑。也只因为编写变化难测的清洁工作的程序太难。总之,短文论述了将来高科技的发展尤其是电脑将对许多行业产生重大影响,使人们面临失业威胁。为此人们只有学会电脑,精通电脑才能在未来社会立于不败之地。
21.C 本题的落点在第一段的第二句。句中rather than (而不是)连接两个意义相对的成分。从 slow down (缓慢下来)可以推测 accelerate 意为“加速”,与C项中speed up相近。22.B 本题的落点在第一段的第五、六句。句中提到:人们将用电话线而不用邮政传递信息,邮差将消失。23.B 本题的所述内容在第二段的前三句第三段倒数第二句。其中第二段的第三句说明电子竞争对手即计算机能更快更准确地作出诊断,同时提供更有效的治疗措施。因此可以断定B为正确项。24.D 本题的落点在第二段的最后三句,注意以下词语 largely replaced 而不是 completely replaced, most learning? 而不是 all learning,still go to school 以及 make friends and devolop social skills.25.A 本题的落点在第三段的第四句。本句的大意是:人们要想摆脱失业的命运,就得懂计算机 (get computer literate)。言外之意就是要人们尽早为将来作准备。B.C 两项与题意不符。D项中提到的清洁工并非人们最理想的工作。
Passage Two【短文大意】这是一篇说明文,说明了艾滋病的病因,传播和早期症状。第一段通过患病人数和死亡人数说明了艾滋病对人们构成了严重威胁。第二段讲艾滋病目前尚无药可治,但研究者已了解了其发病机理。第三段讲艾滋病的传播途径。第四段讲述了人们对其传播的一些错误认识。最后一段说明了感染艾滋病后的一些常见症状。该文可增进人们对艾滋病的初步了解。
26.D A.B.C 这三项表达的意思均可在文中找到,只有D项未在文中出现过。27.C 根据文章的第三段和第四段我们可以断定只有C项不符合事实。28.A a pregnant woman 意为“怀孕的妇女”。从“from...to her developing baby”中可推测出此意。29.B 该段的第一句话提供了解题所需的信息,题目中 symptoms 意为“症状”,即文中 warning signs 之意。30.A 由文章的第二段可知,白细胞是人体免疫系统的组成部分,所以当艾滋病毒开始侵袭人的免疫系统时,人体内的白细胞就开始遭到破坏。抓住关键处“The virus invades healthy cells including white blood cells”.
Passage Three
【短文大意】该文通过专家的实验证明婴儿学习并不总是为了获得即时可见的奖赏,即满足一些基本生理需求,而有时是成功的结果激励他们学习。成功地解决问题,掌握技巧也会让婴儿愉悦,故而人类天生就有一种了解世界,控制环境的欲望。由此文可知人们学习虽多有功利目的,但学习本身也有很多乐趣,学习也是人类的本能,全文可分两部分,第一部分是第一段,讲述人们一向认为婴儿学习只是为了看得见的物质回报。后三段是第二部分,通过Papousek的实验证明婴儿行动也有为着精神回报,即成功感会推动他们去做一些事情。文中关键处是第一段第一句,起着过渡作用的第二段和第四段后半部分的结论。
31.C 问题是根据作者的观点,婴儿乐于学做哪些事情。第二段第二句的大意是,婴儿乐于学做那些给他们带来成功结果的事情,而非奖赏之事。第三、四段用例子论证,故正确答案应选C。32.C 根据第三段说潘普塞克以牛奶为诱惑物,引诱婴儿做出一些简单的动作,如将头转向一侧。结果他发现那些有足够牛奶可喝的婴儿便会拒绝牛奶,但却十分高兴地继续做出一些刚刚学会的简单动作。这里的learned response 指的就是前句中的 some simple movement;go on 与C项中的 continue 同义。因此,正确答案选C。33.A 问题是关于在潘氏的实验中,婴儿做出一些刚学会的摇头动作是为了什么。第三段第四句说“潘氏发现,年仅四个月的婴儿,只要在他们面前“打开一种亮光,他们就会学着转头看,甚至能够做出更为复杂的动作,例如,两次左转,两次右转,甚至朝一个方向转三次头”。A项与本段信息相符,故正确答案应选A。34.D 第四段第二句用强调句式说使婴儿高兴的并非是亮光本身,而是他们能够解决某个问题,掌握某种技巧的成功感。D项与本句内容相符,故正确答案应选D。35.A 根据文章第四段最后一句婴儿高兴的并非亮光本身,而是他们能够解决某个问题,掌握某种技巧的成功感。这里存在着一种基本的人类欲望,就是了解世界和掌握世界。这里的fundamental与basic意均为“基本的”,“基础的”,human urge与human desire均意为“人类欲望”;make sense of 与understand均意为“了解,理解”。故正确答案应选A。
?
Passage Four【短文大意】这是一篇论述文,论述了现代科技的发展会给未来环境带来严重的破坏。第一段通过两次油轮污染事件引出科学家对技术高速发展超出人类控制的担忧。第二段仍然以油轮为例,说明油轮不断增大,与之配套的紧急安全措施却不如同样也在变大的飞机的措施那样有效。第三段讲述英国科学家一致希望建立永久性全国救援机构。第四段讲述了一些常见的可能的灾难。最后一段讲述对灾难的研究定会帮助人们在突发时刻采取恰当措施,减轻灾难的危害。总之,该文通过油轮污染事件及其影响论述了建立灾难应急中心,加强对灾难研究的必要性。
36.D 根据本文第二段 oil tankers 曾经越造越大而没有充分考虑紧急自动及手工操作设备。海上碰撞在继续,但它的安全设施不及用于飞机上的有效。A.B.C三项与第二段内容相反,故选D。37.A 根据文章第三段,科学家们在会议上表述各自对此事的关心,而unanimous approval意为“一致的意见、决定”,因此A项为此题最佳答案。38.D 根据文章第四段,the one promoting most discussion was…句中promoting一词可以理解为“促进,激起”,意为“一个最能引起人们讨论的问题是……”而D答案中could happen恰恰说明了这一点。第四段的the other possibilities discussed也可作辅证。39.C 根据文章最后一段对这些可能性的研究表明至少可以减少未来的灾害,提前检验或实验所要采取的措施是十分必要的。A.B.C三项显然与作者意图不符。40.A 根据整篇文章,我们可以看出作者的意图是揭示现代科技将会给未来带来的后果;而并不单指“油污染”或几个发生的事件,更没有谈到会议。
Part Ⅲ Vocabulary and structure41.D 译文:当然,他们最终的努力是医治战争创伤。解析:根据句意,D项inflicted意为“使遭受/承担”符合要求,故为答案。选项 A “imposed”虽也与on连用,但多表示“将…强加于某人”;选项 B “thrown”意为“将…抛向…”;选项C “focused”也与on连用,但表示“集中于…,强调”。前三个选项均不符合句意,故排除。42.D 译文:我们公司的秘书兼业务主管将参加这个会议。解析:C项结构错误,可先排除;由and所连接的两个名词,如果and后面的名词前没有冠词,谓语要用单数。故D项为正确答案。43.C 译文:我不理解他妈妈对他那样做事。解析:本题中动名词doing做understand的宾语,而his mother则为doing的逻辑主语,二者形成复合结构。44.A 译文:杰克借给我几本有价值的书。解析:但凡先行词前有限定词all,much,some,any, few,no,very (正是,恰好是),only或形容词最高级修饰,其后的关系代词应是that,不用which.B项中的who不用于指物,但在上述情况下即使指人也多用that。D项关系代词用错。C项what 不是关系代词。45.A 译文:我们在工厂工作时,从工人那儿学到了很多。解析:该题考查分词作状语。分词作状语时,它的逻辑主语应是句子的主语。若句子的主语也是分词动作的发生者,则用现在分词:若句子的主语是分词动作的接受者,则用过去分词。在本题中分词working的逻辑主语是we,而且we与working之间是主动的关系。依上分析,可排除B.C.D三项。46.C 译文:但愿我昨天碰到过他。解析:动词wish后面的宾语从句常以虚拟语气表达,其意思为“但愿;要是…该多好”。可用过去式形式表达对现在情况的虚拟,以过去完成式的形式表达对过去情况的虚拟。本题表达对过去情况的虚拟,故选C。其它三项时态不对。47.B 译文:要是凯蒂听了我的话,就不会失败了。解析:此句为与过去事实相反的虚拟语气,因此虚拟条件句中应用过去完成时。48.B 译文:家长有确保孩子得到与其年龄相应的足够教育的法律责任。解析:obligation 意为“义务、责任”,符合题意。impulse 意为“冲动”,influence意为“影响力,感化力”,而sympathy 则为“同情、怜悯”。49.B 译文:昨晚一队足球运动员到达旅馆。 解析:gang 指“一帮,一伙”,troupe指演员、马戏团等的“一队,一班”,school指鱼类的“一群”。只有team最好。

Part Ⅴ WritingCollege Students No Longer FreeCollege students are now facing two new pressures.One is that,from the current year on, most newly-enrolled students have to pay fees and tuition.The other is that,according to the reform policy,many students are subjected to the new job-assigning system,a two-way choice plan.The new policies are positive in some ways.Students may study hard and treasure more of their chance of higher education after they have paid fees and tuition.And the money gained will reinforce the financial power of institutions and help improve their management.As students are not secured of a job as before,they have to train themselves more diligently so that they can be better qualified and have better chances to ensure ideal employment in future.There may be some problems for the new policies.Some promising students may lose?their chance of higher education because they cannot afford it.And if some college graduates cannot find jobs,it may cause a waste of human resources.
