Fro each question, there are four choices marked A), B), C) and D). You should chose the best answer. Then mark the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet with a single line through the center. Passage one It is often difficult for visitors to understand Americans’ lack of desire for privacy. They are not a nation of walled gardens and closed gates. Their yards usually run into one another without any fence; they often visit one another’s house without being invited or telephoning first; they leave their office doors open while they work. Their lack of desire for privacy probably results from their history as a nation. America is a big country. There have never been walled cities in the United States, nor was there the need for Americans to protect themselves from neighbouring states. During the early years, America had so few settlers that neighbours were very important; they were not to be shut by doors and fences. Neighbours offered protection and helped with the hard work of settling the land. They depended upon each other. From the nation’s early history has come the desire for openness rather than privacy. Visitors will notice this desire in a number of small ways; there may be rooms in American homes that do not have doors or that have glass walls. If you notice that people forget to close your door when they leave your room, do not think that this is rude, help them to learn that you would like it to be closed, or else become accustomed to new ways. In either case, be patient with the differences. 33. According to the passage, visitors to America sometimes have trouble understanding _____. A. American’s openness B. American’s lack of desire for privacy C. American’s way of humor D. American’s style of life 34. Which of the following is true? A.. People walled their yards with fences. B. The settlers in the early years needed neighbour’s help very much. C. People get used to American’s openness. D. It’s difficult to follow American way of life. 35. During the early years, people were never shut out by doors because _____. A. they were neighbours B. they were friends C. they depended upon each other D. they got accustomed to that 36. Visitors will notice American’s desire for openness in a way _____. A. they walled their house with glass B. they leave their office doors open while working C. they never have fence D. all above 37. Which is the best title for this passage? A. No Walled Cities. B. The Early Settlers C. American’s Lack of Desire for Privacy D. Be Patient with Differences Passage 2 The murder took place around ten o'clock p.m. on June 10. Thirty-two people watched Kitty being killed right beneath their windows. She was their neighbour. Yet, none of the 32 helped her. Not even one called the police. Was this inhuman cruelty(狠心)? Was it lack of feeling for one's fellow man? “Not so,” say scientists Dr. Darley and Dr. Fatane. They've found the reasons why people don't act. According to them, a person has to go through two steps before he can help. First he has to notice there is an emergency(紧急情况). Suppose you see a middle-aged man fall onto the ground. Is he having a heart attack, or some other physical trouble? Or is he simply about to sleep off a drunk(醉酒)? So it's not always easy to tell if you are faced with a real emergency. Second and more important, the person faced with an emergency must feel himself responsible. He must feel that he must help. The researchers found that a lot depends on how many people are around. They asked college students to come in to be “tested”. Some came alone, some with one or two others, and some in large groups. When they came in, either alone, in pairs, or in groups, a lady went into the next room. Soon the students heard a scream, the noise of something falling and a cry for help. All of this had been pre-recorded on a tape-recorder. Eight out of ten of the students taking the test alone acted to help. Of the students in pairs, only two out of ten helped. Of the students in groups, none helped. In other words, in a group, American often fail to act. They feel that others will act. They, themselves, needn't. They do not feel any direct responsibility. 38. Why didn't the thirty-two people act to help Kitty according to the passage? A. Because they were afraid to be killed. B. Because they were cruel in their hearts. C. Because they thought others would help. D. Because they didn't notice the emergency. 39. Which of the following is an emergency? A. Someone is falling onto the ground. B. Someone is having a heart attack. C. Someone is having a trouble. D. Someone is sleeping off a drunk. 40. When a person notice an emergency, he must _____ before he acts to help. A. feel himself responsible B. call the police C. hear a cry for help D. be with a group 41. The result of the tests shows that _____. A. the more people there are together, the more people will act to help B. college students would be more likely to help than ordinary Americans C. the more people there are together, the fewer people will act to help D. none of the tested students acted to help 42. Americans don't _____ in a group. A. notice an emergency B. go through two steps before they act C. depend on each other D. feel direct responsibility Passage 3 The greatest changes have been in the lives of women. During the twenties century there has been a remarkable shortening of the time of woman’s life spent in caring for children. A woman marrying at the end of the nineteenth century would probably have been in her middle twenties, and would be likely to have seven or eight children, of whom four or five live till they were five years old. By the time the youngest was fifteen, the mother would have been in her early fifties and would expect to live a further twenty years, during which health made it unusual for her to get paid work. Today women marry younger and have fewer children. Usually a woman’s youngest child will be fifteen when she is forty-five and can be expected to live another thirty years and is likely to take paid work until retirement at sixty. Even while she has the care of children, her work is lightened by modern living conditions. This important change in women’s life pattern has only recently begun to have its full effect on women’s economic position. Even a few years ago most girls left school at the first chance, and most of them took a full time job. However, when they married, they usually left work at once and never return to it. Today the school-leaving age is sixteen, many girls stay at school after that age, and though women usually marry younger, more married women stay at least until shortly before their first child is born. Very many more afterwards return to full or part-time job. Such changes have led to a new relationship in marriage, with the husband accepting a greater share of the duties and satisfactions of family life, and with both husband and wife sharing more equally in providing the money, and running the house, according to the abilities and interests of each of them. 43. According to the passage, around the year 1900 most women married _____. A. at about twenty five B. in their early fifties C. as soon as possible after they were fifteen D. at any age from fifteen to forty-five 44. We are told that in a common family in 1890s _____. A. seven or eight children lived to be more than five B. many children died before they were five C. the youngest child would be fifteen D. four or five children died when they were five 45. When she was over fifty, the late nineteenth century mother _____. A. would be healthy enough to take part paid jobs B. was usually expected to die fairly soon C. was unlikely to find a job if she wanted one D. would expect to work till she died 46. According to the passage, the women of today usually _____. A. marry instead of getting paid work B. marry before they are twenty-five C. have more children under fifteen D. have too few children 47. The best title for this passage is _____. A. Women’s life B. The Change of Women’s Life C. Women’s Marriage D. Women’s New Life Passage 4 Advertising can be thought of "as the means of making known in order to buy or sell goods or services". Advertising aims to increase people's awareness and arouse interest. It tries to inform and to persuade. The media are all used to spread the message, and the press offers a fairly cheap method. Magazines are used to reach special sections of the market. The cinema and commercial radio are useful for local markets. Television, although more expensive, can be very effective. Posters are fairly cheap and more permanent in their power of attraction. Other ways of increasing consumer interest are through exhibitions and trade fairs as well as direct mail advertising. We might ask whether the cost of advertising is paid for by the manufacturer or by the consumer. Since advertising forms part of the cost of production, which has to be covered by the selling price, it is clear that it is the customer who pays for advertising. However, if large scale advertising leads to increased demand, production costs are reduced, and the customer pays less. It is difficult to measure exactly the influence of advertising on sales. When the market is growing, advertising helps to increase demand. When the market is shrinking, advertising may prevent a bigger fall in scales than would occur without its support. What is clear is that businesses would not pay large sums for advertising if they were not convinced of its value to them. 48. Advertising is often used to _____. A. convince customers B. promote production C. raise interest D. push the sales 49. . According to the passage, trade fairs (Paragraph 1) may _____. A. replace exhibitions and markets B. supply local goods and services C. attract possible customers D. provide cheap amusements 50. Advertising is in the main paid for by _____. A. the customer B. the producer C. the increased sales D. the decreased costs 51. The author says that advertising can increase demand _____. A. in any period of sales B. in any circumstances C. in a growing market D. in a shrinking market 52. What the last sentence of this passage actually tells us is that _____. A. businessmen usually do not pay more for advertising than they have to B. businessmen know well that advertising could bring them more profits C. advertising couldn't convince people of the value of the goods D. advertising usually costs businessmen large amounts of money Part IV: Translation from English into Chinese (10%) Directions: In this part, there are four items which you should translate into Chinese, each item consisting of one sentence.

Then mark the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet with a single line through the center. Passage 1 Questions 33 to 37 are based on the following passage: In the past, operations were difficult. Until the middle of the eighteen fifties, surgery was very dangerous. Many patients died after even the smallest operations. This was because bacteria entered the cuts in the patients’ bodied and started infection. In some countries, up to 90 percent of patients died from infection after operations. In 1865, however, Joseph Lister, a British surgeon, found an answer to the problem. He used an “antiseptic” during and after operations. This killed the dangerous bacteria and most of his patients lived. Since then, surgeons have used antiseptics in all operations. Surgery has developed in many important ways since the day of Joseph Lister. Today, when patients go to hospital for an operation, they can expect the best treatment, in clean and hygienic conditions. 33. Operations were difficult and dangerous until_______. A.1850 B. the middle of 1850 C. the middle of the fifties of the eighteenth century D. the middle of the fifties of the nineteenth century 34. In the passage, surgery means__________. A.

Which topic of the following best suits the passage? A. Operations were difficult in the past B. The devotion of Joseph Lister to medical science C. Surgery has become safer D. Developments in surgery 37. Joseph Lister was________. A. a Frenchman B. a German C. an Englishman D. an American Passage 2 Questions 38 to 42 are based on the following passage: Some 4000 Americans ambitions to become physicians are studying for their M. D. s abroad. Many were rejected by U.S. medical schools simply because there was no room. Last year, for example, some 13,000 of 35,000 would-be physicians who applied to U.S. schools were accepted. Of those who were turned down, well over 600 are trying the foreign route. But gaining admittance to a good foreign school may be a problem. British medical schools give priority to Britons , and Canada’s world-renowned McGill University School of Medicine takes only a handful of well qualified Americans annually. But several schools do welcome U.S. medical students---if they can master the local language. More than 500 Americans are enrolled in the Belgian universities at Brussels and Louvain , for example. Some 800 attend the Italian University at Bologna; 175 at Rome. Mexico’s Autonomous University of Guadalajara numbers 1,300 gringos among its 4,000 students. Despite difficulties abroad, many Americans complete their medical educations, and manage to win the respect of their professors and classmates. One second-year student at Louvain has a simple explanation for those successes: “ Anyone who comes here to be motivated. You have to learn a new language, the school is constant hard work, and it’s difficult to get back into the States to practice”. Before they can intern or practice in the United States, graduates of foreign schools must pass a special examination required by medical-education authorities. The tough test is designed primarily to weed out those who are unable to speak English or whose medical education is not up to U.S. standards. 38. Which of the following is true about U.S. would-be physicians? A. America medical schools have superfluous applicants B. language is a big problem all the American students applying to foreign medical schools have to face. C. Graduates from both American and foreign medical schools should take the same test before practice D. As many as one-third of last year’s applicants of medical schools are now applying to foreign schools 39. Which is following is true about foreign medical education ? A. A lot of foreign medical schools do not welcome U.S. students simply because they have to consider the applicants form their own countries first. B. To enter foreign medical schools is much easier than to gain admittance into American medical schools if the problem of language is not regarded. C. There are not many good foreign medical schools according to American students D. There are so many difficulties in studying abroad that not many American students become successful in foreign medical schools 40. Which of the following is one of the difficulties the American students at foreign, medical schools have to face. A. Living and medical conditions in foreign countries are not so good as those in America. B. There is racial discrimination against them. C. They are given no opportunities to practice at local places. D. They are treated the same as foreign physicians and medical school graduates when trying to go back to America to practice. 41. What does the word “gringos” mean? A. Americans. B. Foreigners C. Americans in Mexico D. Mexicans 42. Which of the following can be the title of this passage? A. Foreign Medical Schools. B. Life at Foreign Medical Schools C. The tough Foreign Route. D. American Would-be Physicians at Foreign Schools. Passage 3 Questions 31 to 35 are based on the following passage : Summers with father were always enjoyable. Swimming , hiking , boating , fishing—the days were not long enough to contain all of our activities. There never seemed to be enough time to go to church, which disturbed some friends and relations. Accused of neglecting this part of our education, my father instituted a summer school for my brother and me . However, his summer course included ancient history, which Papa felt our schools neglected ,and navigation, in which we first had a formal examination in the dining room, part of which consisted of tying several knots in a given time limit. Then we were each separately sent on what was grandly referred to as a cruise in my father’s 18-foot knockabout, spending the night on board, and loaded down, according to my mother, with enough food for a week. I remember that on my cruise I was required to formally plot our course, using the tide table, even though our goal was an island I could see quite clearly across the water in the distance. 43. What was the original reasons for holding the summer school? A. Friends and relatives thought the children should learn religion B The father wanted the children to learn more about religion C.

Although science has made enormous steps in making food more fit to eat, it has , at the same time, made many foods unfit to eat. Some research has shown that perhaps eighty percent of cancer is related to the diet as well, especially cancer of the colon . Different cultures are more prone to contract certain illnesses because of the food that is characteristic in these cultures. That food related to illness is not a new discovery. In 1945 , government researchers realized that nitrates and nitrites, commonly used to preserve color in meats, and other food additives, caused cancer. Yet, these carcinogenic additives remain in our food, and it becomes more difficult all the time to know which things on the packaging labels of processed food are helpful or harmful. The additives which we eat are not all so direct. Farmers often give penicillin to beef and poultry, and because of this, penicillin has been found in the milk of treated cows. Sometimes similar drugs are administered to animals not for medicinal purposes, but for financial reasons. The farmers are simply trying to fatten the animals in order to obtain a higher price on the market. Although the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has tried repeatedly to control these procedures, the practices continue. 48. What is the main topic of the passage? A. Food and our health B Food and additives C. Food and cancer D Food and culture 49 All of the following statements are true EXCEPT_______. A Forty percent of cancer is caused by problems related to food. B Researchers have known about the potential danger of food additives for many years C. We eat some of the food additives directly and some indirectly D Drugs are always given to animals for medicinal purposes 50. Why do farmers give drugs to their animals? A. to speed up the growth of animals B To make the animals fatter C to make the animals’ meat fit to eat D To make the animals’ meat rich in nutrients 51. It can be inferred from the passage that_________. A scientist have made all the food fit to eat B only in recent years have people found that the food is related to one’s illness C all kinds of cancer are related to the diet D some additives are harmful to our health 52. The word “ this” in the second sentence of paragraph 2 most probably refers to __________.

Passage 1 Strange things happen to time when you travel, because the earth is divided into twenty-four time zones, one hour apart. You can have days with more or fewer than twenty-four hours, and weeks with more or fewer than seven days. If you make a five-day trip across the Atlantic Ocean, your ship enters a different time zone every day. As you enter each zone, the time changes one hour. Traveling wast, you set your clock back; traveling east, you set it ahead. Each day of your trip has either twenty-five or twenty-tree hours.

But when she married, she had a new flat which was big enough for one. So she decided to get one and her husband agreed and helped her. She saved some money, and her parents gave her a generous amount of money for her birthday. Then she went to a shop and said, “I'll choose whichever piano does not cost too much and fits into my living room.” When she had paid for the piano, the shop assistant asked her if she would like him to get it tuned(调音) every few months. Mrs. Peters agreed. A few months later she heard from the shop that a man was coming to tune the piano at ten that morning. Now she had not cleaned the house yet, so it was dusty and untidy. Mrs. Peters hated having even the least amount of dirt, and felt ashamed whenever strange people saw her house like that. So she had to hurry to clean everything carefully. It meant a lot of effort, and it made her hot and tired, but anyhow, by the time the man arrived, everything was finished. She opened the door, and the man was standing there with a big dog. “Good morning,” the man said politely, “will it disturb(打扰) you if I bring my dog in, please? I'm blind, and he leads me wherever I go.” 38. Mrs. Peters stopped playing the piano _____. A. because she began to work B. when she had no room to live in C. because her flat was too small for a piano D. when she got married 39. Mrs. Peters was soon able to buy a piano because _____.

A. the dog would dirty the house B. the piano tuner could see nothing in the house C. the dog disturbed Mrs. Peters D. the piano tuner always took the dog Passage 3 The dog has always been considered man’s best friend. Always noted for being particular faithful in watching over children, he also has his place by the fireside, in the cow pasture, on the sheep range, and beside the hunter or blind. He is easy to train, works hard, and often performs astonishing feats. And in the frozen polar regions, he was once the principal motive power, before being largely replaced by the plane and helicopter. Because he howls or whines in the presence of impending death, the dog was once thought to have supernatural powers and believed to be capable of seeing gods and ghosts in visible to people. Actually, the basis for these beliefs lies in the dog’s sensitivity to people’s feelings and his superior hearing ability and sense of smell, which enable him to detect signs hidden from human observation. His record of saving lives is outstanding, for he often gives warning of fire and other dangers not noticed by his master. The dog’s major contribution, however, has been to medical research. Both his diet and his structure are comparable to those of the human being, and so he has been the subject, of countless demonstrations and experiments. Open-heart surgery has been made possible largely because of the dog. But his sacrifice has repaid his own species as well by safeguarding it from rabies(狂犬病), distemper, and other diseases. 43. The dog has always been noted for _____. A. protecting children B. assisting shepherds C. helping hunters D. herding a cattle 44. The dog is useful to herders because he is _____.

A. benefited animals other than dogs B. served people C. helped other dogs D. contributed to medical knowledge Passage 4 Almost every family buys at least one copy of a newspaper every day. Some people subscribe to as many as two or three different newspapers. But why do people read newspapers? Five hundred years ago. news of important happenings — battles lost and won, kings or rulers overthrown or killed — took months and even years to travel from one country to another. The news passed by word of mouth and was never accurate. Today we can read in our newspapers of important events that occur in faraway countries on the same day they happen. Apart from supplying news from all over the world, newspapers give us a lot of other useful information. There are weather reports, radio, television and Film guides, book reviews, stories, and, of course, advertisements. There are all sorts of advertisements. The bigger ones are put in by large companies to bring attention to their products. They pay the newspapers thousands of dollars for their advertising space, but it is worth the money, for news of their products goes into almost every home in the country. For those who produce newspapers, advertisements are also important. Money earned from advertisements makes it possible for them to sell their newspapers at a low price and still make a profit. 48. The habit of reading newspapers is _____. A. widespread B. found among a few families . C. not popular D. uncommon 49. In the past, news was _____. A. sent by telegraph B. sent by letter C. passed from one person to another D. sent by telephone 50. The money spent on advertisements is _____.

In class, they are introduced to the alphabet, numbers, and colors; they study their bodies, their families, and their communities; they listen to stories read aloud; they make art projects; and they learn about holidays, plants, animals, and other topics in science and social studies. Some kindergartens also teach introductory reading and mathematical skills. Kindergartens tend to offer children a foundation for the development of social skills, self-confidence, motivation, and the process of knowing. The first kindergarten was started by German educator Friedrich Froebel in 1837 in Blankenburg, Prussia(now part of German). Froebel chose the German term kindergarten(children’s garden) because he intended children in his school to grow as freely as flowers in a garden. Froebel’s kindergarten was based on the then idea that children’s play was significant. At the time, almost no children under the age of seven attended school, but Froebel designed his kindergarten for children between the ages of three and seven. The kindergarten became widely admired for its revolutionary teaching methods, and Froebel’s followers soon established other kindergartens based on his educational philosophy. Froebel developed his own ideas about education by combining his belief in scientific observation with his belief in the interconnection of all things.In addition, Froebel was concerned that the spread of industrialization would negatively affect the family, but he believed that kindergartens could increase the status of mothers and children. Froebel’s ideas became increasingly popular in the 1840s, but because kindergartens were associated with liberalism and free-thinking ,they were banned by the Prussian government after the failure of the liberal revolution of 1848. 33. What is the best title of the passage? A. An introduction of kindergarten B. The Origins of the kindergarten C. The foundation of the kindergarten D. The development of the kindergarten 34.

Kindergarten tend to offer children a foundation for the development of social skills, self-confidence, motivation, and the process of knowing. D. Kindergarten is the entering-class level of elementary school or the last year of preschool. 35. According to the author which the following is true? A. The first kindergarten was started by German educator Friedfrich Froebel in 1837 in Blankenburg, Prussia. B. Froebel chose the German term kindergarten(children’s garden) because he intended children in his school to grow freely in a garden. C. At the time, almost every children under the age of seven attended school, so Froebel designed his kindergarten for children between three and seven. D. Froebel’s kindergarten was based on the then ideas that children’s play was significant and the kindergarten became widely admired for its revolutionary methods. 36. “Froebel developed his own ideas about education by combining his belief in scientific observation with his belief in the interconnection of all things.” Here, the word“interconnection” means____?

A. kindergartens could increase the social ability of mothers and children B. kindergartens were associated with liberalism and free-thinking C. they could not be banned by the Prussian government in the future D. kindergartens could increase the social position of mothers and children Passage 2 Questions 38 to 42 are based on the following passage. Is American losing the battle against teen drug abuse? Despite years of antidrug campaigns, drug use among American teens is increasing dramatically. Consider the statistics. The PRIDE(Parents’ Resource for Drug Education) survey of more than 140,000 students shows that 11-to 14-year-olds is on the rise, with 11.4 percent of junior-high students reporting monthly use of marijuana(大麻), cocaine, or other illicit drugs. In a study issued last year by the National Center on Addiction and Substance Abuse(CASA) at Columbia University, researches found that drugs are more readily available and used by youth at a younger age than ever before. The findings have sounded a national alarm and ongoing debate about how to counter the disturbing trend. Last year, President Clinton called the dramatic increase in drug use among America’s youth“the ultimate threat to the future of our country.” Ironically, today’s teenagers are exposed to more drug education than any previous generation—the federal government has required public schools to teach drug prevention since 1987. The fact that drug use is still on the rise has caused policymakers, school officials, and parents to examine current drug prevention efforts.

Religious organizations and groups may own property, run schools, and promote their beliefs in speech and writing. There is no religious bar to the holding public office. Britain has a long tradition of religious tolerance. Freedom of conscience in religious matters was achieved gradually from the seventeenth century on words. The laws discriminating against minority religious groups were gradually administrated less harshly and then finally repealed. The past 30 years have seen the acceptance of a wide variety of religious beliefs and traditions of large numbers of immigrants are made at places of work to allow members of non---Christian religious to follow their religious observances. There are two established churches in Britain, that is, churches legally as official churches of the State: in England the (Anglican) Church of England, and in Scotland the (Presbyterian ) Church of Scotland. Ministers of the established churches, as well as clergy belong to other religious groups, work in services run by the State, such as the armed forces, national hospitals and prisons, and are paid a salary for such services by the State. The State makes no direct contribution to church expenses, although since 1997 limited state aid has been given for the repair of historic churches. 43. Which of the following statements is true?

Over 500,000 were used in Japan, about 120,000 in Western Europe, and about 60,000 in the United States. Many robot applications are for tasks that are either dangerous or unpleasant for human beings. In medical laboratories, robots handle potentially dangerous materials, such as blood or urine samples(尿样).In other cases, robots are used in repetitive, unchangeable tasks in which human performance might degrade over time. Robots can perform these repetitive, high-precision operations 24 hours a day without fatigue. A major user of robots is the automobile industry. General Motors Corporation uses approximately 16,000 robots for tasks such as spot welding(点焊),painting, machine loading, parts transfer and assembly. Assembly is one of the fastest growing industrial applications of robotics. It requires higher precision than welding or painting and depends on low-cost sensor systems and powerful inexpensive computers Robots are used in electronic assembly where they load microchips on circuit boards. Activities in environments that cause great danger to humans, such as locating sunken ships, cleanup of nuclear waste, exploring for underwater mineral deposits and active volcano exploration, are ideally suited to robots. Similarly, robots can explore distant planets. NASA’s Galileo, an unmanned space probe, traveled to Jupiter in 1996 and performed tasks such as determining the chemical content of the Jovian atmosphere. Robots are being used to assist surgeons in installing artificial hips, and very high-precision robots can help surgeons with delicate operations on the human eye. 48. Which of the following is the best topic about this article? A. Robots B. Uses of Robots C. Development of Robots D. Advantages of Robots 49. According to the article, which of the following is NOT true? A. In 1995 about 700,000 robots were operating in the industrialized world. B. Why people use the robots is that they are neither dangerous nor unpleasant. C. In medical laboratories, robots can be used to handle potentially dangerous materials, such as blood or urine samples. D. In other cases, robots are used in repetitive, unchangeable tasks in which human performance might degrade over time. 50. In the sentence “Robots can perform these repetitive, high-precision operations 24 hours a day without fatigue”. the word “fatigue” can be explained as_________. A. rest B. paying C. powering D. being exhausted 51. The robots can do many jobs EXCEPT________. A. spot welding, painting B. drinking, eating and shaving C. machine loading, parts transfer, and assembly D. exploring distant planets 52. Sometimes which kind of doctor may NOT need robots’ help?

Bill Javis took over our village news-agency at a time of life when most of us only want to relax. He just thought he would like something but not too much to do, and the news-agency was readymade. The business produced little enough for him, but Bill was a man who only wanted the simplicity and order and regularity of the job. He had been a long-serving sailor, and all his life had done everything by the clock. Every day he opened his shop at six a.m. to catch the early trade; the papers arrived on his door-step before that. Many of Bill’s customers were city workers, and the shop was convenient for the station. Business was tailing off by 10 o’clock, so at eleven sharp Bill closed for lunch. It was hard luck on anybody who wanted a paper or magazine in the afternoon, for most likeluy Bill would be down on the river bank, fishing, and his nearest competitor was five kilometers away. Some time in the afternoon, the evening paper landed on the doormat, and at 4 o’clock Bill reopened. The evening rush lasted till seven, and it was worthwhile. He lived in a flat above the shop, alone. Except in the very bad weather, you always knew where to find him in the afternoons, as I have said. Once, on a sunny afternoon, I walked home along the river bank from a shopping trip to the village. By my watch it was three minutes past four, so I was astonished to see Bill sitting there on his little chair with a line in the water. He had had no luck, I could see, but he was making no effort to move. “ What’s wrong, Bill?” I called out from the path. For answer, he put a hand in his jacket and took out a big, golden object. For a moment I had no idea what it could be, and then it suddenly went off with a noise like a fire engine. Stopping the bell, Bill held the thing up and called back, “ Ten to four, you see, and this is dead right”. I had never known anyone carrying a brass alarm clock round with them before. 33. Bill Javis became a news-agent when _________. A. he needed the money B. he decided to take things easy C he was quite an old man D. he gave up clock-repairing 34.Bill opened the shop so early in the day because__________.

A. he thought it was late for Bill to be still fishing B. he thought Bill was ill, since he was not moving at all C. Bill had not caught anything, and that seemed strange D. Bill stayed in his flat 37. From the information given in the passage, who or what do you think was wrong? A. The bell was; it must have gone off at the wrong time B. Bill was; he had dropped off to sleep C. The writer’s watch was fast D. Bill’s clock was wrong; it was very old Passage 2 Questions 38 to 42 are based on this passage. The camel is called “ the ship of the desert”. And there is a good reason for it. Just as a ship is constructed to deal with all the problems that arise from being in the water, so camel is “ constructed” to live and travel and survive in the desert. Where other animals would die from lack of food and water, the camel gets along very nicely. It carries its food and water it ! For days before it starts on a journey, a camel does nothing but eat and drink. It eats so much that a hump of fat, maybe weighing as much as 100 pounds, rises on it’s back , so the camel’s body will use up during the journey. The camel also has little flask-shaped bags which line the walls of its stomach. This is where it stores water. With such provisions, a camel is able to travel several days between water holes without drinking, and for an even longer time with no nourishment except what it draws from the fat of its hump. At the end of a long journey, the hump will have lost its firm shape and will flop to one side in flabby folds. The camel will then have to rest for a long time to recover its strength. Did you know that the camel is one of man’s oldest servants and has been used by men in Egypt for more than 3,000 years? 38. The camel is called “ the ship of the desert” because a camel can in the desert A. survive without eating and drinking B. live, travel and survive C. use the food and water in the stomach D. travel for a long distance 39.A camel’s hump is made up of_________.

A. does not eat at all B. does not drink at all C. gets nourishment from the flask-shaped bags in the stomach D. gets nourishment from the fat of its hump 42. Which of the following statements is NOT true? A. A camel does nothing but eat and drink before a journey B. A camel has the same weight before and after a long journey C A camel will have to rest for a long time to recover its strength after a long journey D. The camel is one of man’s oldest servants Passage 3 Questions 43 to 47 are based on this passage A massive pool of warm ocean water is causing changes in the atmosphere that could produce unusual weather around the world in the next few months, the U.S. National Weather Service reported on Monday. As a result of this phenomenon, known as El Nino(厄尔尼诺现象)，more rainfall than normal is likely this winter across some areas of the United States, with unusually warm or cold weather in other parts of the country. Currently the phenomenon is marked by a warm pool of water along the equator extending from the international date line(国际日期变更线) nearly to the coast of South America. That water is nearly 4°F above normal, explained Bernon Kousky of the climate center. This warm water “spreads almost a quarter of the way around the globe. So it’s massive and it has an impact on our weather. It has a global influence…because it disturbs that atmosphere,” said Dave Rodenhuis, director of the climate center. El Nino is “ probably the most important climate event beyond the annual cycle of seasons,” he added. The phenomenon occurs every three to five years, sometimes in a mild form and sometimes strongly affecting weather patterns worldwide. Details of its causes are not fully understood, but when it occurs, unusually warm air can be pumped into Canada, Alaska and the northern United States. At the same time, conditions tend to be wetter than normal along the U.S. southeast coast and the Gulf of Mexico. And the Atlantic and Caribbean hurricane season tends to be milder than usual. That doesn’t mean that the disruption will be as great this time. A mild El Nino in 1986 1987 was barely noticed, for example 43. According to the climate center, the current phenomenon of El Nino is characteristic of __________. A. more rainfall than usual B. a series of severe winter storms C. mild changes in the atmosphere D. a warm pool of water along the equator 44. As a result of this phenomenon of El Nino, which part of the U.S. is likely to have more rainfall than normal? A. Along the southeast coast B. Along the west coast C. In the northern United States D. In the middle west of the U.S. 45. Scientists the world over get alarmed about El Nino on account of __________. A. unusual weather in the U.S. B. the altered annual cycle of season C. the impact on weather patterns worldwide D ocean water nearly 4 °F warmer than normal 46. Which of the following shows that El Nino can be in some cases more of a blessing than only damaging? A. More rainfall than normal in winter across some areas of the U.S. B. Unusually warm or cold weather in some parts of the U.S. C. Severe winter storms in California D. Milder hurricane season over the Caribbean Sea 47. Which of the following statements is NOT true according to the passage ? A. El Nino is probably more important climate event than the annual cycle of seasons B. El Nino sometimes stronger and sometimes milder C. No one fully understands what causes El Nino D El Nino could produce unusual weather around the world Passage 4 Questions 48 to 52 are based on this passage Something big is happening to the human race, something that could be called the Great Transformation. The Transformation consists of all the changes that are occurring in human life due to advancing technology. For thousands of years such progress occurred slowly. Now everything is changing so fast that you may find yourself wondering where all this progress is really leading. Nobody knows what all these changes really will mean in the long run. But this mysterious Transformation is the biggest story of all time. It is the story of the human race itself. Some people worry about what will happen when the deposits of petroleum are gone, but already researchers are finding all kinds of new ways to obtain energy. Someday, solar power collected by satellites circling the earth or fission(裂变) power manufactured by mankind may give us all the energy we need for an expanding civilization . Space exploration promises to open up many new territories for human settlement, as well as leading to the harvest of mineral resources. Like it or not, our advancing technology has made us masters of the earth. We not only dominate all the other animals, but we are reshaping the world’s plant life and even its soil and rocks, its waters and surrounding air. Technology gives us the power to build a magnificent new civilization, if we can just agree on what we want it to be. But today, there is little global agreement on goals and how we should achieve them. So it remains to be seen what will happen as a result of our technology Pessimists worry that we will use the technology eventually to blow ourselves up. But they have been saying that for decades, and so far we have escaped. Whether we will continue to do so remains unknown, but we can continue to hope. 48. The Great Transformation is caused by _________. A. changes in human life B. the development of science and technology C. space exploration D. unknown reasons 49. Today it is impossible for people to build a remarkable new civilization because________. A. nobody is optimistic about the future B. human beings are unable to do so C. people disagree with each other in many ways D . people are worried too much 50. The author thinks that the results of our technology are __________. A. slight B discouraging C. uncertain D. insignificant 51. According to the passage, pessimists believe that____________. A the future of the world will remain unknown B technological advances will destroy the human race at last C. technological advances help little in people’s life D. there is no need to develop technology 52. Advancing technology could possibly make us ________. A. hesitant B decisive C powerless D mysterious Part IV: Translation from English into Chinese (10%) Directions: In this part, there are four items which you should translate into Chinese, each item consisting of one sentence.

We should adjust our life style to make use of the new information technology. Nowadays, computers and televisions have already been used in the field of education .We can go to college whenever we want and learn whatever we like, without leaving our home even. This way of learning is called ”long-distance” education . This new way of learning is probably the most convenient way of learning till now, by which we can save a lot of time and energy. However, we have to admit that there are still many students who prefer to sit in the library or the classroom to study. For them , learning is not concerned with knowledge itself only. As far as those students are concerned, going to school regularly and studying with the help of the teachers and the classmates is far better than sitting alone in front of computers or television at home.

The shape of the camel’s feet enables it to walk over the sand of the desert without sinking as deeply as a horse would. Also, a camel can go without water for a period of time in which a horse would die of thirst. The horse is loving and loyal to its owner, but the camel is deceiving and often dangerous. It also has the reputation of being very stupid. On ground which is not soft sand, the horse is faster than the camel. The camel has one valuable characteristic; its hair can be made into tents and clothing. Camel hair is far more useful than horse hair and comes off in such a way that it can be easily gathered. 11.

Writing: Smoking It is almost known to all that smoking is bad for people’s health. Scientific researchers show that smoking can lead to heart disease, cancer and other problem. The world Health Organization says disease linked to smoking kill at least two million five hundred thousand persons each year. Still, many people find it difficult to stop smoking. One reason is that smoking usually becomes a habitual behavior, and habits, whether good or bad are not easy to be given up. Another reason is the effect of nicotine, the substance found in cigarettes works on people somewhat as drugs do. Measures have been taken to help people keep away from the harm of smoking. In many cities, smoking is forbidden in public places. The danger of smoking is warned of everywhere. And newspapers are asked not to publish advertisements for cigarettes. World “No Tobacco Day” is observed every year as the biggest campaign against smoking.
