Children not 15 from such a grave disease could be fed with half that amount-not on a diet like ours, but on plain, basic, life-sustaining food.It is not unreasonable to believe 16 the amount of money we spend on the average pet dog could keep a child 17 in a region of great poverty.18 what we would spend on a cat might not feed a child, but it 19 probably pay for his medical care or basic education.The point needs no 20.That is all that need be said.11.A.relied B.fund C.domestic D.medical 12.A.why B.when C.where D.which 13.A.with B.for C.against D.without 14.A.to save B.saving C.save D.saved 15.A.recovering B.having C.suffering D.infecting 16.A.which B.what C.that D.where 17.A.alive B.life C.live D.survive 18.A.Giving B.To give C.Given D.Give 19.A.would B.should C.must D.need 20.A.doing B.operating C.laboring D.functioning III.Reading Comprehension Passage One Questions 21 to 25 are based on the following passage.We can make mistakes at any age.Some mistakes we make are about money.But most mistakes are about people.“Did Jerry really care when I broke up with Helen?” “When I got that great job, did Jim really feel good about it, as a friend? Or did he envy my luck?” “Why didn’t I realize that Paul was friendly just because I had a car?” When we look back, doubts like these can make up feel bad.But when we look back, it’s too late.Why do we go wrong about our friends or our enemies? Sometimes what people say hides their real meaning.If we don’t really listen, we miss the feeling behind the words.Suppose someone tells you, “You’re a lucky dog.” Is he really on your side? If he says, “You’re a lucky boy” or “You’re a lucky girl”, that’s being friendly.But there’s a bit of envy in “lucky dog.” Maybe he doesn’t see it himself.But bringing in the “dog” bit puts you down a little.What he may be saying is that he doesn’t think you deserve your luck.“Just think of all the things you have to be thankful for” is another noise that says one thing and means another.It could mean that the speaker is trying to get you to see your problem as part of your life as a whole.But is he? Wrapped up in this phrase is the thought that your problem isn’t important.It’s telling you to think of all the starving people in the world when you haven’t got a date for Saturday night.How can you tell the real meaning behind someone’s words? One way is to take a good look at the person talking.Do
第 2 页
his words fit the way he looks? Does what he says square with the tone of voice? His gesture? The look in his eyes? Stop and think.The minute you spend thinking about the real meaning of what people say to you many save another mistake.21.According to the writer, when people look back it is too late, because.A.mistakes have already been made B.mistakes can made them feel bad C.they are unaware of their mistakes D.they are doubtful of their friends 22.People make mistakes when they fail to
A.deal with others with due friendliness B.hide their true feelings in what they say C.realize they deserve what they have got D.see the real meaning of what others say 23.Judging from the phrase “just think of all the things you have to be thankful for”, it is clear that the speaker actually lacks.A.optimism B.sympathy C.motivation D.courage 24.To be a successful listener, one is advised to A.ask the speaker as many questions as he can B.observe the speaker as carefully as possible C.listen to the speaker as attentively as he can D.challenge the speaker as actively as possible 25.The passage aims to tell readers how to.A.interpret what people say B.interpret what money means C.avoid mistakes about people D.avoid mistakes about money Passage Two Questions 26 to 30 are based on the following passage.Doctors have long known that eating fish helps protect against heart disease.What they don’t know is why fish are beneficial.For years they figured it was a simple question of substitution: folks who replace red meat with fish are naturally cutting down their intake of saturated(饱和的)fat.But a growing body of evidence collected over the past 30 years suggests fish contain healthful elements called omega-3 fatty acids.Omega-3 fatty acids belong to a group of compounds known as polyunsaturated fats.These fats serve as the raw material for a whole host of essential structures in the body, from brain cells to molecules(分子)that regulate blood pressure.Since our bodies cannot manufacture their own supply of omega-3s, we have to get them from the food we eat, mostly from fish but also from plant sources like soybeans(大豆).第 3 页
The American Heart Association has recommended that everyone eat two 85-g servings of fatty fish a week.But the A.H.A’s expert panel wasn’t ready to declare that taking omega-3 pills will protect your heart.It’s just too easy to get more omega-3 than you need from pills, and the panel was worried that an excess could cause serious side effects, such as internal bleeding.The U.S.Food and Drug Administration, however, allowed manufactures of omega-3 pills and fish oils to advertise the fat’s benefits—as long as the label does not suggest taking more than two grams per day.One thing is clear whether you get your omega-3s from pills, oils or fish: they are not cure-alls.You still have to eat a well-balanced diet that’s lower in total fat than most Americans currently consume.Otherwise, you’re fishing for trouble.26.Doctors have long been puzzled by.A.why red meat is harmful B.how beneficial fish are C.what makes fish healthful D.how red meat is replaced 27.We can learn from the passage that.A.human beings get omega-3s from their food B.omega-3s are only found in fish and soybeans C.omega-3s are the raw material for saturated fats D.polyunsaturated fats constitute human molecules 28.The A.H.A.didn’t recommend omega-3 pills, because A.it had no knowledge of the safe dose of omega-3 B.it had no evidence that they can protect the heart C.the pills contain too little omega-3 to be helpful D.one is likely to get too much omega-3 from the pills
29.The FDA allowed manufacturers of omega-3 pills and fish oils to advertise omega-3’s benefits on condition that A.their suggested dose is printed on the label B.their suggested dose is within the safety limit C.the fat’s potential side effects are mentioned D.the products contain side effects are mentioned 30.The writer seems to suggest that A.omega-3s can balance one’s diet B.omega-3s can serve as a supplement
C.an unbalanced diet is made worse by omega-3s
第 4 页
D.a well-balanced diet contains enough omega-3s Passage Three Questions 31 to 35 are based on the following passage.It was a terrible tragedy, six times more deadly than the Titanic(泰坦尼克号).When the German ship Wilhelm Gustloff was hit by torpedoes(鱼雷)fired from a Russian submarine(潜水艇)in the final winter of World War II, more than 10,000 people---mostly women, children and old people fleeing the final Red Army push into Germany—were packed aboard.An ice storm had turned the dicks into frozen sheets that sent hundreds of families sliding into sea as the ship listed and began to go down.Others desperately tried to put lifeboats down.Some who succeeded fought off those in the water who had the strength to try to get aboard.Most people froze immediately.“I’ll never forget the screams,” says Christa Nutzmann, 87, one of the 1,200 survivors.She recalls watching the ship, brightly lit, slipping into its dark grave—and rarely mentioned for more than half a century.The long silence about the sinking of the Wilhelm Gustloff was probably unavoidable—and necessary.By unreservedly confessing their country’s horrible crimes Germans have managed to win acceptance abroadand make peace with their neighbors.Today’s unified Germany is more prosperous and stable than at any time in its long, troubled history.For that, a half century of willful forgetting about painful memories like the German Titanic was perhaps a reasonable price to pay.But even the most politically correct Germans believe that they’ve now earned the right to discuss the full historical record.Not to identify German suffering with that of its victims, but simply to acknowledge a terrible tragedy.31.The Wilhelm Gustloff went down because A.it ran into an ice storm B.it was hit by another ship C.it crashed into a submarine D.it was attacked by torpedoes
32.Most passengers on board the Wilhelm Gustloff took the voyage to A.taste the luxury of the ship B.seek protection in another place C.escape the cold winter back home D.enjoy their holidays abroad
33.As the ship began to sink, some passengers A.set the decks on fire as a signal for help B.fought fiercely on the decks for lifeboats
第 5 页
C.jumped into sea and swam to a nearby ship D.prevented others from getting on their lifeboats
34.The Wilhelm Gustloff tragedy remains a near secret for more than half a century because Germans A.preferred to say nothing about it B.were requested to keep silent about it C.spared not effort to cover up the story D.were denied access to the whole story
35.It can be inferred from the passage that Germans no longer think that A.it is too early to claim responsibility for the Wilhelm Gustloff tragedy B.the German tragedy is a reasonable price to pay for the nation’s past C.they will be misunderstood if they talk about the German tragedy D.Germany is responsible for the horrors it caused during World War II 第二部分 非选择题 IV.Word Spelling 36.结果，成果 n.37.分享，股份 n.38.愿意的，乐意的 adj.39.警告，告诫 v.40.表达，表情 n.41.多样性 n.42.预算 n 43.衡量，测量 n.44.保证，担保 v.45.家庭的，国内的 adj.46.发源，发起 v.47.应用，用具 n.48.激发，作为….的动机 v.49.可行的，可能的 adj.50.欣赏，感激 n.51.战略，策略 n.52.精制，使精美 v.53.面对，对抗 v.54.一致，相符 v.55.最后的，最终的 adj.V.Word Form 56.Do not let this(say)of you.It shows an unattractive indifference to your employer and to your job.57.The theory of black holes in space(accept)by many serious scientists and astronomers.58.If you had been in better health, we(allow)you to join them in the work.59.Although they agree that life is important and should be respected, they feel that the quality of life should not(ignore).60.I would rather you(come)tomorrow.第 6 页

69.每个人都是平等的，不管他是总统还是马路清洁工。70.不用说，我们现在已不是生活在传统时期。VII.Translation from English into Chinese 71.Between labor and play stands work.A man is a worker if he is personally interested in the job which society pays him to do;what from the point of view of society is necessary labor is from his own point of view voluntary play.Whether a job is to be classified as labor or work depends, not on the job itself, but on the tastes of the individual who undertakes it.The difference does not, for example, coincide with the difference between a manual and a mental job;a gardener or a cobbler may be a worker, a bank clerk a laborer.Which a man is can be seen from his attitude toward leisure.To a worker, leisure means simply the hour he needs to relax and rest in order to work efficiently.He is therefore more likely to take too little leisure than too much;workers die of coronaries and forget their wives’ birthdays.To the laborer, on the other hand, leisure means freedom from compulsion, so that it is natural for him to imagine that the fewer hours he has to spend laboring, and the more hours he is free to play, the better.第 7 页

Those Who Ride on Two Wheels In the United States there are six million tennis players and twelve million golfers.These figures would not surprise most people.But many would be surprised to learn that twenty million Americans ride motorcycles(摩托车).Few people realize that motorcycling is fast becoming one of America’s most popular sports.According to the Cycle News，many kinds of people enjoy motorcycling.They include black people and white people, businessmen, professionals, and blue-collar workers.Among them, about 55% are businessmen, 3% are in the professions and 9% in government service.Such information is offered by the Cycle News in the hope of improving the general public’s impression of the sport.The public has tended to believe that all motorcyclists are wild and lawless young men.There are several things about motorcycling that the average citizen dislikes.A motorcyclist’s appearance has something to do with this dislike.Motorcyclists often look dirty;in fact, they are dirty.On the road, there is little to protect them from mud.For practical reasons, they often dress in old clothing which looks much less respectable than the clothing of people who ride in cars.For the same reason, motorcyclists usually wear dark colors.Perhaps this helps to explain why they are sometimes suspected of having bad natures.Probably motorcycles themselves also produce anger and fear.They are noisy，though some trucks are even noisier.But trucks are acceptable because they perform a needed service.Motorcycles, on the other hand, make an uncomfortable noise just to give their riders pleasure.Roaring along quiet streets, they wake sleeping families and make babies cry.Yet, as motorcycling becomes more and more common, it will be interesting to see how people in general feel about the sport.Perhaps it will someday become as ‘^respectable’’ as tennis or golf.11、According to the text, more and more Americans like___.A.playing tennis B.playing golf C.motorcycling D.car-racing
12、According to the Cycle News，over half of the motorcyclists are _____•
A.black people B.white people C.businessmen.D.professionals
13、The Cycle News wants to_________ A.make motorcyclists lawful citizens B.improve the image of motorcycling C.persuade people to buy motorcycles D.raise the status ofblue-coUar workers
14、Motorcyclists usually wear dark colors because_________.A.they want to be respectable
B.they want to be impressive C.the colors look different D.the colors suit their sport

How to Forgive, Forget and Let Go O Forgiving someone does not mean releasing them from an earlier guilt.What if the person who wronged you is not living? What if the person is someone who made you extremely embarrassed during school 20 or 30 years ago? Letting go of emotional pain does not mean that nothing happened;it means that you no longer want to be controlled by it.Recognize that forgiveness is not denial.Whatever caused the pain was a real incident.Denying that it happened means it is too painful to work through the emotions.There is no timeline on forgiveness.Some steps take longer to get through, and it is acceptable to set them aside for a period of time.Part of forgiveness is understanding whether or not someone takes responsibility for what happened, and may even show regret.Understand that not everyone who forgives reconciles with the person who caused the pain.There are relationships that are harmful and even physically dangerous.While it is possible to forgive the past and move beyond it，it may also mean that the person who was involved can no longer play an active role in yourlife.If a person or situation is not safe，it may be best not to reconcile therelationship now.Work on forgiveness at d time when you are emotionally healthy and physically safe.® Make a conscious decision to forgive someone.Even if they never apologize for what happened, determine within yourself that it is fine to proceed without this apology.Apologies should not be asking for forgiveness.Apologies should be offered as an effort of true regret.They should be admitting that taking personal responsibility for the situation is important.Even without that apology, make up your mind to forgive, forget, and eventually let go.Taskl

Natural Resources Throughout history, people have often selected where they want to live based on the natural resources that are available in the area.26 Some of these resources include water, food sources such as fruits and vegetables, and animals that can be caught or hunted.A region’s natural resources determine the way of life of its people.27 |On the other hand，poor soil will either send people looking for better places, or attract people with other purposes for the land, such as setting up businesses or factories.28 People who wish to make a living as fishermen can do so by the pcean, but cannot do so in the desert.Desert people have many traditional and |mique foods, which cannot be found in the forest.Each area attracts
people based on their interests and purposes.Areas that have rich water resources will naturally have more people, frraditionally, villages，towns and cities built near water have been the most luccessful.People there are able to use the water resources to meet their daily lieeds.29 Places that are hard to reach，such as high mountains or dry Beserts, will have fewer people living in them.30 For too long, people have destroyed natural resources, using up those [resources that cannot be easily replaced.On the earth, we are lucky to have many resources that are renewable, such as sun, wind, water, and trees.As more and more focus is placed on the use of renewable resources, it will become easier to |>rotect our planet from further harm.A．It is easy to find new resources in nature.B.Renewable resources are those that can be replaced easily.c.While you may not think of oceans as natural resources, they are.D.for example, regions with rich soil can support fanning societies.E.They can also use the water to help them move goods to other areas.F.Natural resources are useful to people, and they come from the earth.第五部分：填词补文（第31〜40题，每题1.5分，共15分）

Would you mention it to him and say you feel sorry about it? Would you offer support or advice? According to Ruth Clark, such 41(treat)could mean well, but it might not be what he 42(real)wants or needs.Clark asked some college students to imagine some 43(pleasant)situations, e.g., a low exam grade or the dad’s 44(lose)of his job.The students were then 45(ask)how they would like to be treated by a friend who learned of the bad situation from someone else.The results were a little 46(surprise).Some said they would want and expect their friend to mention the 47(annoy)situation, but most of the students in the study 48(respond)that they would like the friend not to do it.The students made the 49(decide)for themselves whether to discuss their problem with a friend.So, there is value in being a silent 50(listen)around a troubled friend.第七部分：短文写作（第51题，30分）

1.The American population was the tallest in the world from about the American Revolution to World WarⅡ—that’s a long time.The U.S.had a very resourcerich environment，with game，fish and wildlife.In fact we have data on disadvantaged people in America,such as slaves.They were obviously among the most mistreated populations in the world，but given the resource abundance，and given the fact that the slave owners needed their work,they had to be fed relatively decently.So the slaves were taller than European peasants.It’s no wonder that Europeans were just flooding to America.Americans today are no longer the tallest people in the world.After World WarⅡ，many Western and Northern European countries began to adopt favorable social policies.There is universal health insurance in most of these societies—that,of course，makes a difference in health care.You can also consider income inequality in the U.S., since people who are at the low end of the totem pole(图腾柱)have considerable adversity making ends meet.I suspect the difference in height between Americans and Europeans is due to both diet and health care.Americans today suffer from an
additional problem：obesity.If children are too well nourished，then they’re not able to grow optimally.There are certain hormones that control the start of the adolescent growth and the start of adolescence．Nutrition is one of the factors，along with genetic and hormonal ones which are associated with the start of puberty(青春期)．And if puberty comes too early，then the youth will peak out sooner,and will not become as tall in adulthood as someone who had better nutrition．Also,the overload of carbohydrates and fats in a fastfood diet may hinder the consumption of micronutrients essential to growth．(1).The word “game” in(line 2，para.1)refers to.(A).animals hunted for food(B).rich natural resources(C).activities played by kids(D).sports events to be held(2).Slaves in America were taller than European peasants because.(A).they were badly treated(B).they did not do farm work(C).they had sufficient food to eat(D).they enjoyed better health care(3).It is implied in the second paragraph that.(A).Europeans could make more money than Americans(B).average Americans used to be shorter than Europeans(C).welfare helps Europeans grow taller than Americans(D).people on the totem pole are leading a comfortable life(4).According to the third paragraph,overweight children in the U.S..(A).tend to have better nutrition for growth(B).tend to eat more food to grow taller(C).will grow taller than average children(D).will fail to grow into an ideal height(5).Eating too much fast food may affect.(A).the absorption of micronutrients(B).the intake of carbohydrates(C).the consumption of hormones(D).the digestion of fats 2.Yoshio and Hiromi Tanaka are a young Japanese couple living in the USA while Yoshio studies electrical engineering．They clearly love each other very deeply,but，says Yoshio，“We didn’t marry for love in the Western sense.We got married in the timehonoured Japanese way．Our parents arranged our marriage through a matchmaker．In Japan we believe that marriage is something that affects the whole family，not just the young couple concerned.So we think it is very important to match people according to their social background，education and so on．Matchmakers are usually middleaged women who keep lists of suitable young people with information about their families，education and interests.When our parents thought it was time for us to get married they went to a local matchmaker and asked her for some suggestions．We discussed the details and looked at the photos she sent，and then our parents asked her to arrange a ‘marriage interview’ for the two of us．”
A Japanese marriage interview is held in a public place，such as a hotel or restaurant,and is attended by the boy and the girl，their parents and the matchmaker．Information about the couple and their families is exchanged over a cup of tea and a meal．Then the boy and the girl are left alone for a short time to know each other．When they return home they have to tell the matchmaker whether they wan to meet again or not．If both of them want a second meeting，the matchmaker arranges it，and after that they can decide whether to carry on the courtship themselves．Here Hiromi said with a gentle smile，“Not so long ago，the girl could never refuse to go out again with a boy who liked her,but now she can.I thought Yoshio was really nice，so I didn’t refuse．”
Yoshio continued：“When our parents realized we were serious about each other, they started to make arrangements for our wedding．My family paid the ‘Yuino’money to Hiromi’s．This money is to help pay for the wedding ceremony and for setting up house afterwards．We also gave her family a beautiful ornament to put in the best room of their house，so everyone knew that Hiromi was going to marry.Six months after our first meeting we were married.A traditional Japanese wedding is a wonderful ceremony,and our traditional custom of arranged marriage has given me a wonderful wife．”
(1).The Japanese think marriage is important because.(A).it is expensive to hire a matchmaker(B).it is timeconsuming to match people(C).it concerns the couple and their families as well(D).it is hard to get the approval of the couples parents
(2).After a marriage interview,the second meeting will be decided by.(A).the boys parents(B).the matchmaker(C).the young couple(D).the girls parents(3).It is implied in the second paragraph that.(A).a good hotel can bring about a good marriage(B).men used to be dominant in choosing a partner(C).women played a leading role in choosing a partner(D).a marriage interview settles all marriage arrangements(4).Yoshio thinks that the traditional Japanese marriage is.(A).costly(B).satisfying(C).complex(D).outdated(5).This passage is mainly about.(A).the process of an arranged Japanese marriage(B).a wedding ceremony in a Japanese fashion(C).conventional marriage and modern marriage(D).the role of matchmakers in arranging marriages 3.College-bound American high school students usually have some combination of parents，teachers，guidance counselors，or peers to support them in the tough process of applying to and beginning college.Unfortunately，adults who want to go to college—particularly adults who have been out of school for a long time—generally have no such support system.“Adults have a much harder time starting out in college because，unlike regular students，they have adult obligations—raising children and working full time—that often conflict with the demands of school，”says Deepa Rao，a World Education expert.“Also，adults who have been out of school for a long time may not be academically prepared for collegelevel work.Some have little exposure to technologies like email and Internet research,which are an increasing part of college communication and courses.They may be unaware of available resources，such as financial aid,tutoring centers or mentoring programs，and may be unfamiliar with terms such as ‘bursar’and‘prerequisite.’And if you don’t know where to begin or what to do once you do get there，it’s easy to get overwhelmed and simply give up.”
The challenges that working adults face when going to college inspired Deepa to develop a web page and website as part of World Education’s National College Transition Network(NCTN)，an online forum for technical assistance，news,and helpful resources for educators，policy makers，and others interested in adult learning.The new website is a counterpart(对应物)to the NCTN，set up to guide adults who are considering college through the process of applying to and succeeding in school.The website is arranged like a college campus，with‘buildings’representing the sort of departments and classrooms housed on a college campus.Each building contains‘classes’that describe the admissions process，where to look for grants and scholarships，and lists resources，where an outofpractice student can review reading，writing，and math.There are also lists of advice and resources to help students with their college life.Another helpful aspect of this interactive,multimedia site is its audio capacity：all texts can be read to the visitor.This particular feature is especially helpful for people with visual problems or learning disabilities.The cycle of learning runs from cradle to grave，and World Education works to break down barriers to education for people of all ages，all over the world.(1).According to the passage，working adults find it difficult to start their college education because.(A).they are too busy and academically unprepared(B).they have been out of school for quite a long time(C).tutoring resources in college are unavailable to them(D).they do not have enough money for further education(2).The comparison between adult students and regular students shows that.(A).the latter are less prepared than the former(B).the latter have more problems than the former(C).the former have more problems than the latter(D).the former are no less prepared than the latter(3).The purpose of the website is to.(A).help adult students edit web pages
(B).provide adult students with guidance(C).solve financial problems of adult students(D).enable students to repair computers by themselves(4).The newly created website provides programs.(A).for regular college students only(B).for students interested in websites(C).for students including the disabled(D).for educators interested in adult learning(5).The last paragraph shows that learning.(A).involves difficulties(B).starts at ones birthplace(C).requires repeated efforts(D).is a lifelong process

1.In the old days，the lines between work and leisure time were markedly clearer． People left their offices at a predictable time，were often completely disconnected from their jobs as they traveled to and from work，and were offduty once they were home．That’s no longer true．In today’s highly competitive job market, employers demand increased productivity,expecting employees to put in longer hours and to keep in touch almost constantly via fax，cell phones，email，or other communications devices．As a result，employees feel the need to check what’s going on at the office，even on days off．They feel pressured to work after office hours just to catch up on everything they have to do．They work harder and longer, change their work tasks more frequently,and they worry more about job security．

答案：过去，工作与休闲的界限泾渭分明。人们可在预计的时间下班，在上下班的途中往往与工作完全脱离。而且，一旦回到家，就不再工作，而现今这种情况已不复存在。在今天竞争十分激烈的职场上，雇主要求提高生产率，希望雇员加班加点，而且还要通过传真、移动电话、电子邮件或其他通讯工具随时保持联系。这样，雇员就觉得有必要了解办公室的事情，甚至休假时也不例外，他们感到压力，需要加班赶进度，确保完成每件所要做的事。他们工作更勤奋，投入的时间更多，工作任务变换得更频繁，越发为保住工作而烦心。第四题答案

Ⅲ.Reading Comprehension(30 points, 2 points for each item)
从下列每篇短文的问题后所给的四个选项中选出一个最佳答案，并在答题纸上将相应的答案涂黑。
Passage One
Questions 21 to 25 are based on the following passage.When Rowland Hill, little more than a hundred years ago, first advocated the introduction of cheap postage in England, he had to face many opponents of the scheme;some said that it would not pay, others that it was unworkable.But Hill, supported by general public opinion, eventually overcame opposition, and late in 1839 the Penny Post was established.From then until the first world war the cost of sending a letter any distance within the United Kingdom remained at one penny.The gloomy prophecies(预言)of the critics were not fulfilled: the profits of the Post Office were maintained and improvements in transport and administration made it possible not only to handle the increased volume of correspondence but also to extend postal facilities.Before this great change took place, the charge for sending a letter varied according to the distance the letter was carried and had to be paid for on delivery by the person to whom it was addressed.The lowest charge was four pence and for long distances as much as eighteen pence.Such high rates, when wages were low, could rarely be afforded by poor people, who were often compelled to refuse letters from their dear ones because they were unable to pay.Under the new scheme, a letter was paid for by the sender, who affixed(贴上)to it an adhesive(粘的)postage stamp, the cost of which was within reach of all.Thus the poor were enabled to exchange news with their relations and friends at a time when many of them had left their homes to seek work elsewhere.
Businessmen also found cheap postage a boom and, since it soon turned out to be a great financial success, the new scheme was, before long, adopted by every civilized country in the world——a final tribute(明证)to the wisdom and vision of its promoter.21.“Some said that it(i.e.Rowland Hill's scheme)would not pay” means ________.A.some said that people would refuse to pay for the scheme
B.some said that the scheme would not be profitable
C.some said that the scheme was not economical
D.some said that they did not have enough money to pay for the scheme
22.Rowland Hill's system is known as the ‘Penny post’ ________.
A.because it undertook the delivery of all inland letters for the charge of one penny
B.since it was established late in 1839
C.because many people who used its facilities were poor
D.as a result of the gloomy prophecies of those who had said scheme would not pay 23.Postal facilities were extended after the introduction of the Penny Post ________.A.because the volume of correspondence increased
B.as a result of improvements in transport and administration
C.until the first world war
D.provided that the cost of sending a letter remained at one penny
24.Under the old system the poor had frequently been compelled to refuse letters ________.
A.because they could not afford to pay the high postage rates which had to be paid on receipt of a letter
B.unless the charge on them was less than four pence
C.although rates varied according to the distance letters were carried
D.because many of them had left their homes to seek work elsewhere
25.The new postal scheme was adopted by every civilized country in the world ________.A.because it enabled the poor, as well as the rich, to exchange news
B.as a tribute to the wisdom and vision of its promoter
C.since the scheme, in addition to its convenience, had proved financially successful
D.a hundred years after its adoption by the English Passage Two Questions 26 to 30 are based on the following passage.We can make mistakes at any age.Some mistakes we make are about money.But most mistakes are about people.“Did Jerry really care when I broke up with Helen?” “When I got that great job, did Jim really feel good about it, as a friend? Or did he envy my luck?”“And Paul-why didn't I pick up that he was friendly just because I had a car?” When we look back, doubts like these can make us feel bad.But when we look back, it's too late.
Why do we go wrong about our friends——or our enemies? Sometimes what people say hides their real meaning.And if we don't really listen, we miss the feeling behind the words.Suppose someone tells you, “You're a lucky dog.” Is he really on your side? If he said, “You're a lucky guy” or “You're a lucky gal,” that's being friendly.But “lucky dog”? There's a bit of envy in those words.Maybe he doesn't see it himself.But bringing in the “dog” bit puts you down a little.What he may be saying is that he doesn't think you deserve your luck.
“Just think of all the things you have to be thankful for” is another noise that says one thing and means another.It could mean that the speaker is trying to get you to see your problem as part of your life as a whole.But is he? Wrapped up in this phrase is the thought that your problem isn't important.It's telling you to think of all the starving people in the world when you haven't got a date for Saturday night.
How can you tell the real meaning behind someone's words? One way is to take a good look at the person talking.Do his words fit the way he looks? Does what he says quare with(符合)the tone of voice? His posture? The look in his eyes? Stop and think.The minute you spend thinking about the real meaning of what people say to you may save another mistake.
26.In the first paragraph, the writer recalls some things that happened between him and his friends.He ________.
A.feels happy, thinking of how nice his friends were to him
B.feels he may not have “read” his friends' true feeling correctly
C.is sorry that his friends let him down
D.thinks it was a mistake to have broken up with his girl friends, Helen
27.In the second paragraph, the writer talks about someone saying, “You're a lucky dog.” He is saying that ________.
A.the speaker of this sentence is just being friendly
B.this saying means the same as “You're a lucky guy” or “You're a lucky gal.”
C.the word “dog” shouldn't be used to apply to people
D.sometimes the words give a clue(线索)to the feeling behind the words
28.This passage tries to tell you how to ________.
A.avoid mistakes about money and friends
B.“size up” people
C.avoid mistakes in understanding what people tell you
D.keep people friendly without trusting them
29.In listening to a person the important thing is ________.
A.to notice his tone, his posture, and the look in his eye
B.to listen to how he pronounces his words
C.to check his words against his manner, his tone of voice, and his posture
D.not to believe what he says
30.The phrase ‘puts you down’(Para 2, Line 7)can be replaced by another phrase “________”.
A.makes you humble B.reduces you to silence
C.press you down D.makes you sad
Passage Three
Questions 31 to 35 are based on the following passage.It is not often realized that women held a high place in southern European societies in the 10th and 11th centuries.As a wife, the woman was protected by the setting up of a dowry or decimum.Admittedly, the purpose of this was to protect her against the risk of desertion(抛弃), but in reality its function in the social and family life of the time was much more important.The decimum was the wife's right to receive a tenth of all her husband's property.The wife had the right to withhold consent(不同意), in all transactions(交易)the husband would make.And more than just a right: the documents show that she enjoyed a real power of decision, equal to that of her husband.In no case do the documents indicate any degree of difference in the legal status of husband and wife.
The wife shared in the management of her husband's personal property, but the opposite was not always true.Women seemed perfectly prepared to defend their own inheritance against husbands who tried to exceed their rights, and on occasion they showed a fine fighting spirit.A case in point is that of Maria Vivas, a Catalan woman of Barcelona(巴塞罗那).Having agreed with her husband Miro to sell a field she had inherited, for the needs of the household, she insisted on co mpensation(补偿).None being offered, she succeeded in dragging her husband to the scribe(法律学家)to have a contract duly drawn up assigning her a piece of land from Miro's personal inheritance.The unfortunate husband was obliged to agree, as the contract says, “for the sake of peace.” Either through the dowry or through being hottempered, the Catalan wife knew how to win herself, within the context of the family, a powerful economic position.31.A decimum was ________.
A.the wife's inheritance from her father
B.a gift of money to the new husband
C.a written contract
D.the wife's right to receive onetenth of her husband's property
32.In the society described in the passage, the legal standing(地位)of the wife in marriage was ________.
A.higher than that of her husband
B.lower than that of her husband
C.the same as that of her husband
D.higher than that of a single woman
33.What compensation did Maria Vivas get for the field?
A.Some of the land Miro had inherited
B.A tenth of Miro's land
C.Money for household expenses
D.Money from Miro's inheritance
34.Could a husband sell his wife's inheritance?
A.No, under no circumstances.B.Yes, whenever he wished to.
C.Yes, if she agreed.D.Yes, if his father in law agreed.
35.Which of the following is NOT mentioned as an effect of the dowry system?
A.The husband had to share the power of decision in marriage.
B.The wife was protected from desertion.
C.The wife gained a powerful economic position.D.The husband was given control over his wife's property.PART TWO

从下列每篇短文的问题后所给的四个选择项中选出一个最佳答案，并在答题卡上将相应的字母涂黑．
Passage One
Questions 21 to 25 are based on the following passage.In reading the world’s great literature on human excellence and personal success, I’ve found that to launch ourselves into a life of true success we need to satisfy one basic condition: pursue our vision with stubborn(顽强的)consistency.The biggest difference between people who succeed and those who don’t is not usually talent but persistence.On my way to work one morning, I met Rudy Ruettiger, who is now a motivational speaker.He has grown up in Joliet, listening to stories about Notre Dame and dreaming of one day playing football there.Friends told him he wasn’t a good enough student to be admitted.So he gave up his dream and went to work in a power plant.Then a friend was killed in an accident at work.Shocked, Rudy suddenly realized that life is too short not to pursue your dreams.In 1972, at the age of 23, he enrolled at Holy Cross Junior College in South Bend, Ind.He got good enough grades to transfer to Notre Dame, where he finally made the football team as a member of the “scout team”, the players who help the team prepare for games.Rudy was living his dream, almost.But he wasn’t allowed to suit up for the games themselves.The next year, after Rudy requested it, the coach told Rudy he could put on his uniform for the season’s final game.And there he sat, on the Notre Dame bench during the game.A student started shouting, “We want Rudy!” Soon others joined in.Finally, at the age of 27, with 27 seconds left to play, Rudy Ruettiger was sent onto the field-and made the final tackle(阻截).So his team won the game.When I met Rudy 17 year later, it was in the parking lot outside Notre Dame stadium(体育场), where a camera crew was filming scenes for Rudy, a motion picture about his life.His story illustrates that there is no limit to where your dreams can take you.21.The writer believes that the key to achieving success is.A.developing one’s talent B.seizing opportunities C.having wide vision D.sticking to one’s goal
22.According to the passage, Rudy once gave up his dream of playing football for Notre Dame because.A.his friend was killed there B.his foot was injured in an accident C.he lacked confidence in himself D.he failed in the entrance examination
23.Rudy quit his job in the power plant because.A.his friend encouraged him to B.his outlook on life changed C.he was disappointed in his future D.he was shocked by his friend’s death 24.Rudy was transferred to Notre Dame.A.as a good student B.as a good player C.with the help of a coach D.with the help of a friend
25.A camera crew was making a movie about Rudy’s life because.A.Rudy was the oldest player at Notre Dame B.Rudy succeeded in realizing his dream C.Rudy was the best speaker at Notre Dame D.Rudy succeeded in developing his ability
Passage Two
Questions 26 to 30 are based on the following passage.NASA, the U.S.space agency, believes there’s a good chance that we’re not alone in the universe.Last fall, NASA began a new project called the High Resolution Microwave Survey(HRMS).Its aim: to find evidence of life in one of the billions of galaxies in the universe.The search for intelligent life on other planets isn’t new.It began almost 100 years ago.That’s when scientists built a huge transmitter to send radio waves into space.Scientists thought smart beings on other planets might pick up the signals.Scientists also have sent a message about humans and our solar system to a nearby constellation(星座).But because the constellation is 25,000 light years away, a return message wouldn’t reach Earth for 50,000 years!So don’t wait up for an answer.So far, no extraterrestrial(地球外的)beings that we know of have returned our “calls.” But according to Dr.Jill Tarter, an HRMS scientist, we haven’t exactly had our ears wide open.“Now, however,” says Dr.Tarter, “we’ve built the tools we need to listen well.”
Last October, Dr.Tarter switched on the largest radio receiver in the world.It’s an enormous metal bowl stretching 1,000 feet across a valley in Puerto Rico.Meanwhile, another NASA scientist turned on a huge radio receiver in California’s Mojave Desert.NASA hopes these big dishes-and others around the world-will pick up radio signals from new world.Dr.Frank Drake has been searching for life in outer space for years.He explains the HRMS project this way: To listen to your radio, you move the tuner on the dial until the channels come in loud and clear: Now imagine radio receivers that scan our galaxy “listening” to 14 million channels every second.That’s what NASA’s radio receivers in Puerto Rico and California are doing.But that’s not all.Powerful computers hooked to the receivers examine every signal carefully.The computers try to match the signals to ones that scientists already recognize, such as human-made signals.If they can’t, Drake and Tarter check on them.“It could prove there is radio technology elsewhere in the universe,” says Dr.Tarter.“And that would mean we’re not alone.”
26、NASA scientists started a new project in order to _______.A、discover life in other galaxies B、send human beings into space C、find evidence of a new galaxy D、confirm the number of galaxies
27、According to Dr.Jill Tarter ,the reason why we haven’t received any return any return messages from outer space is that_______.A、our ears are not sharp enough to hear them B、our equipment hasn’t been good enough C、it takes millions of yuars for them to reach us D、it takes quite a long time to send them
28、Dr.Jill Tarter compares the large receiver to _______.A、the human ear B、the universe C、a metal bowl D、a huge dish
29、According to Dr.Frank Drake ,NASA’s radio receivers in Puerto Rico and California are _______.A、trying to check on every channel carefully B、moving the tuner on the dial for clear channels C、scanning the universe for possible signals D、picking up radio signals from new world 30、The best title of this passage is ________.A、Signals from the Space
B、The Invention of New Radio Receivers C、The Intelligent Life in Outer Space D、NASA Listens for Space Neighbors
Passage Three
Questions 31 to 35 are based on the following passage.Even a careful motorist(开汽车的人)may commit a motoring offence(违法).In this case, he will appear in a police court.This is a court ruled by a judge without a jury(陪审团).A judge has powers to pass sentence for relatively minor offences only;serious charges are dealt with by a judge and a jury.In certain cases, a motoring offender may choose to go before a judge and a jury ,instead of appearing before just a judge.A court is also used for the conduct of preliminary investigations to dedermine whether or not a motoring offender shall appear for trial in a higher court.When his case comes up in court ,the motorist hears his name called by the clerk of the court, and comes forward to identify himself.The judge then calls for the policeman who charged the offender and asks him to give evidence.He is expected to ive an account of what happened when the offence was committed and to mention any special circumstances.For example the offence may have been partly due to the foolishness of another motorist.It would be unwise for the motoring offender to exaggerate this.It will not help his case to try to blame someone else for his own mistake.If you are guilty ,it is of course wise to admit it and say you’re sorry for committing the offence and taking up the court’s time.Judges are not heartless and a motorist may be lucky enough to hear one say：“You’ve got good reasons ,but you have broken the law and I’ll have to impose a fine.Pay five pounds.Next case.” Some short-tempered people forget that both policemen and judges have a public duty to perform,and aren rude to them.This does not pay!A judge will not let off an offender merely because he is respectful,but a polite law-breaker may certainly hope that the judge will extend him what tolerance the law permits.31、Even a careful motorist may be asked to go to a police court for______.A、an injury
B、a motoring offence C、refusing to pay a fine D、being rude to the policeman
32、The underlined word “one ”(paragraph 5)refers to _____.A、a jury member B、a police officer C、a motorist D、a judge
33、A motoring offender is usually charged by ______.A、a judge B、a jury C、a policeman D、another motorist
34、It is foolish for a motoring offender to _______.A、overstate another motorist’s mistake B、mention someone else’s foolishness C、argue that he is not guilty D、choose to go before a jury
35、If a man knows that he is guilty, he should ______.A、be polite to the policeman and the judge B、try his best to appear before just a judge C、save the court’s time and pay the fine D、admit the wrong and say sorry to the court

Ⅶ将下列短文译成汉语
When someone has deeply hurt you, it can be extremely difficult to let go of your anger.But forgiveness is possible---and it can be surprisingly helpful to your physical and mental health.Indeed, research has shown that people who forgive report more energy, better appetite and better sleep patterns.So when someone has hurt you, calm yourself.Talk a couple of deep breaths and think of something that gives you pleasure: a beautiful scene in nature, someone you love.Don’t wait for an apology(道歉)。Keep in mind that forgiveness does not necessarily mean accepting the action of the person who upset you.Try to see thing from the other person’s perspective.You may realize that he or she was acting out of ignorance, fear—even love.You may want to write a letter to yourself from that person’s point of view.2004年10月高等教育自学考试全国统一命题考试 英语

答案要点： 你受到极大伤害后很难克制住怒火，不过宽恕对方还是有可能做到的，而且这样做对你的身心健康会带来意想不到的好处。的确，研究表明：怀有宽恕之心的人们往往体力更充沛、胃口及睡眠更好。
所以，你受到伤害后，应该保持平静。先做二、三次深呼吸，再想想那些令你高兴的事，如大自然的美景、你所钟爱的人等等。不要等待道歉，并且记住这样一句话：宽恕并不一定意味着接受对方对你的冒犯之举。尝试一下从对方的视角出发看问题。你也许会发现他或她是出于无知、害怕、甚至是爱才如此行事的。你可以站在对方的立场上给自己写封信。
