三、阅读理解题
Since the late 1960s a growing number of women have expressed a strong dissatisfaction with any marriage arrangement wherein the husband and his career are the primary considerations in the marriage.By the end of the 1970s, for example, considerably less than half of the women in the United States still believed that they would put their husbands and children ahead of their own careers.More and more American women have come to believe that they should be equal partners rather than junior partners in their marriages.This stage of marriage, although not typical of most American marriages at present, will grow most rapidly in the future.In an equal partnership marriage, the wife pursues a full time job or career which has equal importance to her husband's.The long-standing division of labor between husband and wife comes to an end.The husband is no longer the main provider of family income, and the wife no longer has the main responsibilities for household duties and raising children.Husband and wife share all these duties equally.Power over family decisions is also
shared equally.The rapid change in women's attitudes toward marriage in 1970s reflected rapid change in the larger society.The women's Liberation movement appeared in the late 1960s, demanding an end to all forms of sexual discrimination against
females.An Equal Rights Amendment(修正案)to the U.S.Constitution was proposed which would make any form of discrimination on the basis of sex illegal, and though it has failed to be ratified, it continues to have millions of supporters.1． Since the late 1960s, more and more women dissatisfied with the marriage ________.A． arranged by other people B． in which husband and children are put in the first place C． in which they themselves have superior privilege D． arranged by their husbands 2． In an equal partnership marriage, ________.A． the wife is the main provider of family income B． the wife no longer has household duty C． the husband and wife share the responsibility for the family D． the husband and wife will not quarrel in the family 3． The Women's Liberation Movement ________.A． maintains sexual equality B． claims to get rid of family responsibility C． began in the end of 1970s D． thinks that husband and wife should interchange roles in family 4． The word “ratified”(the forth line in paragraph 3)probably means ________.A． encouraged B． objected C． disproved D． confirmed
5． In 1970s, women's attitude toward marriage changed rapidly because ________.A． women's liberation movement appeared in the late 1960s B． an Equal Rights Amendment to the U.S.Constitution was proposed C． husband is no longer the main provider of family income D． both A and B
The skin which covers the tips of the fingers and thumbs is crossed by numerous ridges(隆 起)arranged in different patterns.This patterns are permanent from birth and remain exactly the same throughout a person's life, even when the skin becomes wrinkled and cracked as a result of old age.Such patterns are never passed on from parents to children, and no one in the world has the same patterns as anyone else.Even identical twins have different sets of
fingerprints.As a result, fingerprints offer a most useful and foolproof way of identifying people.Any ridged part of the hand and the foot may be used as a means of identification, but finger impressions are usually preferred since they can be taken easily and quickly.Fingerprints are classified in the ways: by general shapes and contours, by the finger positions of the pattern-types, and by size(often measured by counting the ridges in the loops).Every set of fingerprints has different “ridge
characteristics”(i.e.the print of each separate finger is different from that of all the other fingers), which belong to one of four basic groups: arches, loops, whorls and composites.All fingerprints can then be divided into 1, 024 groups.By using details in the patterns above, these 1, 024 groups can be further divided into thousands of smaller groups, thus making it possible to find a particular see prints in a few minutes.1． According to this passage, the true statement about human fingerprints is that ________.A． people's fingerprints can be inherited B． people's fingerprints are unique but identical twins may have the same fingerprints C． using fingerprints is the only way to identify people D． people's fingerprints will not change in all their lives 2． We prefer to use fingerprints to identify people because ________.A． we can never find the same set of fingerprints among human beings B． finger impressions can be taken easily and quickly C． fingerprints offer a most useful and foolproof way of identifying people D． all of the above 3． About the classification of fingerprints, which is TRUE? ________.A． Fingerprints can be classified in three ways B． All fingerprints can be divided into 1, 024 groups and can not be divided further C． It is not easy to find a particular set of fingerprints in a short time D． People can not classify the fingerprints in an effective way 4． The word“foolproof”(line 7, pare.1)most probably means ________.A． that is permanent B． that is helpful C． that is not foolish D． that can not go wrong 5． The passage is most probably taken from an article entitled ________.A． Permanent Fingerprints B． Classification of Fingerprints C． Ridge Characteristics D． A Means of Identification When a consumer finds that an item she or he bought is faulty or in some other way doesn't live up to the manufacture's claim for it, the first step is to
present the warranty(保单), or any other records which might help, at the store of purchase.In most cases, this action will produce results.However, if it does not, there are various means the consumer may use to gain satisfaction.A simple and common method used by many consumers is to complain directly to the store manager.In general, the “higher up”the consumer takes his or her complaint, the faster he or she can expect it to be settled.In such a case, it is usually settled in the consumer's favour, assuring he or she has a just claim.Consumers should complain in person whenever possible, but if they cannot get to the place of purchase, it is acceptable to phone or write the complaint in a letter.Complaining is usually most effective when it is done politely but firmly, and especially when the consumer can demonstrate what is wrong with the item in question.If this cannot be done, the consumer will succeed best by presenting specific information as to what is wrong, rather than by making general
statements.For example, “The left speaker does not work at all and the sound
coming out of the right one is unclear”is better than“This stereo(立体声音响)does not work.”
1． The possible meaning of the phrase“live up to”(line 2, para.1)may be ________.A． to make up to consumers B． to keep to the high standards of C． to be the best compared with others D． to stand for salesmen's benefits 2． If a consumer finds what she or he bought doesn't live up to the manufacture's claim for it, ________.A． presenting the warranty is the only way to settle the problem B． there are many ways for the consumer to gain satisfaction C． the first thing to do is to threaten to take the matter to court D． what she or he should do is to keep silent 3． If a consumer complain in person to the store manager，__________.A． it's possible to settle the problem in the consumer's favour B． the consumer can surely get the compensation C． the salesgirl is surely scolded by the manager D． the consumer is surely refused 4． The most effective complaint can be made ________.A． in a firm and exaggerated way B． by presenting specific information as to what is wrong C． by making general statements D． by complaining to the manager loudy and firmly 5． the main idea in this passage is about ________.A． salesmen's strategies to satisfy consumers B． consumers' strategies to get the most from the store C． how to buy satisfactory goods D． how to protect consumers' rights

七、英译汉题
1． Organization also makes a difference in our ability to remember.How useful would a library be if the books were kept in random order? Material that is organized is better remembered than jumbled information.One example of organization is chunking.Chunking consists of grouping separate bits of
information.For example, the number 4671363 is more easily remembered if it is chunked as 467,13,63.Categorizing is another means of organization.Suppose you are asked to remember the following list of words: man, bench, dog, desk, woman, horse, child, cat chair.Many people will group the words into similar
categories and remember them as follows: man, woman, child;cat, dog, horse;bench, chair, desk.Needless to say, the second list can be remembered more easily than the first one.

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

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

Passage OneQuestions 21 to 25 are based on the following passage.Among the company was a lawyer, a young man of about twenty-five.On being asked his opinion, he said, ”Capital punishment and life imprisonment are equally immoral.If I were to make a choice between them, I would rather choose the latter Anyway, it's better to live than not to live at all.“ A lively discussion followed.A banker, who was then younger and more nervous than the lawyer, suddenly lost his temper and cried out, ”It's a lie.I bet you two million.You wouldn't stick in a cell even for five years.“ ”If you mean it,“ replied the young lawyer, ”I bet I'll stay there longer;make it fifteen instead of five.“ ”Fifteen!Done!“ cried the banker.”Gentleman, I bet you two millions.“ ”Agreed.Two millions for my freedom,“ said the lawyer.So this wild, ridiculous bet came to pass.The banker could not hide his excitement During supper he said to the lawyer jokingly, ”Come to your senses, young man, before it's too late.Two millions are nothing to me, but you stand to lose three or four of the best years of your life.I say three or four because you'll never stick it out any longer Don't forget that voluntary imprisonment is much harder to put up with than a enforced one.The idea that you have the right to free yourself any moment will poison your life in the cell.I pity you.“ And now the banker, pacing from comer to comer, recalled all this and asked himself, ”Why did I make this bet? What's the good? The lawyer lost fifteen years of hi life and I threw away two millions.Will it convince people that capital punishment is worse or better than imprisonment for life? No, no!Rubbish!On my part, it was the caprice（心血来潮）of a well-fed millionaire;on the lawyer's part, it's the pure greed c gold." 21．The lawyer would choose life imprisonment because.A.he was younger than the banker B.capital punishment was immoral C.it was better than capital punishment D.the banker would give him $200,000 22.The author considers the bet between the lawyer and the banker.A.interestingB.ridiculous C.capriciousD.instructive 23.The word 'company' in the first paragraph refers to __.A.companionsB.bankers C.lawyersD.prisoners 24.The banker was extremely excited because __.A.he was too rich to care for the money B.he was sure of his winning the bet C.the lawyer would give up in 15 years D.the lawyer would give up before 5 years 25.In the end, the banker considers his bet with the lawyer __.A.rationalB.reasonableC.beneficialD.unreasonable Passage Two Questions 26 to 30 are based on the following passage.Online learning is also called distance education, which helps students who take classes by computer over the Internet to learn certain courses and earn a degree.And it has become more and more popular with both young people and educational institutions.The School of Continuing and Professional Studies of New York University in Manhattan began online classes in 1992.Its Virtual School has taught more than 10,000 students from across the United States and other countries.Last year，the school launched NYU Online.It offers NYU's first online Programs for a bachelor's degree.Programs are offered in three areas;leadership And management, information systems management and social sciences.The classes are highly interactive where students communicate with each other and their teachers.Some classes require students to log in at the same time so they can attend live lectures by a professor Students can also ask questions and work together on team projects.The cost to attend NYU Online depends on how many classes a student is to take It costs as much as fifteen thousand dollars a year.NYU offers no financial aid for international students in this program.If you are interested in the program, you can gel more details at the website: www.xiexiebang.common belief that the problems of the population explosion are caused mainly by poor people living in poor countries who do not know enough to limit their reproduction.This is not true.The actual number of people in an area is not as important as the effect they have on nature.Developing countries do have an effect on their environment, but it is the populations of richer countries that have a far greater impact on the earth as a whole.For example, tropical forests are known to be essential to the balance of nature, yet we are destroying them at a great rate.They are being cleared not to benefit the natives of that country, but to satisfy the needs of rich countries.Central American forests are being destroyed for grassland to make pet food in the United States cheaper;in Papua slew Guinea, forests are destroyed to supply cheaper cardboard packaging for Japanese electronic products;in Burma and Thailand, forests have been destroyed to produce more attractive furniture in Singapore and Hong Kong.Therefore, a rich person living thousands of miles away may cause more tropical forest destruction than a poor person living in the forest itself.In short, it is everybody's duty to safeguard the future of mankind—not only through population control, but by being more aware of the effect his actions have on nature.Nature is both fragile and powerful.It is very easily destroyed;on the other hand, it can easily destroy its most dangerous enemy—man.31.According to the first paragraph, people usually believe that.A.poor people in poor countries contribute to the imbalance of nature B.rich people know how to protect the environment by taking actions C.people in poor areas know a lot about the birth control D.rich people in rich countries have done a lot to balance nature 32.In the author's opinion, __.A.developing countries should be responsible for environmental problems B.overpopulation in the world is created by the developed countries C.rich countries exercise worse influence on environment than poor countries D.all countries should bring the population growth under control 33.The purpose of the second paragraph is mainly to illustrate __.A.how the forests in the U.S.are being destroyed B.which countries are the victims of the imbalance of nature C.what Japan has done to develop its own economy D.how South Asian countries make quality furniture 34.Nature is very easily destroyed by __.A.rich peopleB.poor people C.natural disastersD.mankind 35.The topic of the passage is that __.A.the control of population is essential to the development of a nation B.natural resources are important to the economic development of a country C.awareness of the effects of man's actions is as important as population control D.developed countries should do more to protect natural environment on the earth IV.Word Spelling(10 points, 1 point for two items)将下列汉语单词译成英语。每个单词的词类、首字母及字母数目均已给出。请将完整的单词写在答题纸上。

was young, Eaton worked briefly with his brothers in small-town stores.In 1869, he sep up his own shop in downtown Toronto.He had many competitors, but he was also ambitious and had a plan for success.He offered a unique style of trade, but as was expected, all the other shopkeepers laughed at him, believing he would eventually fail.However, Eaton was not a man to be easily defeated;he came up with a brand new notion of business – ―Goods satisfactory, or money refunded.‖ He sold all his goods at fixed prices and only for cash.With a sharp sense of what the public wanted, he went out of the way to meet their needs.His business grew rapidly.He set up new branches and started mail order service that allowed people to buy from a list of his goods.Eaton’s list—advertisements of his day—was the first of its kind.It was distributed and read all over the country.It was the only way to access good-quality goods at reasonable prices for people living far away from big cites.It became part of their life.They even called it The Wishing Book.The secret of the list’s success was that Eaton gained the respect of this customers;they trusted him for good prices and quality goods.Probably because he remembered his miserable early days in Ireland, Eaton thought much of the welfare of his employees: better working conditions, shorter weekday hours than his competitors and Saturday afternoons off in the summer.In all this, he was a leader.21.The best description of Eaton is that ______.A.he was the richest merchant in Toronto B.he was a successful technical inventor C.he introduced new sales practices D.he changed people’s ideas about businessmen 22.Eaton’s success lay primarily in that ____.A.he sold only good quality goods B.he was the first person to provide good service C.he treated his employees better than any of his competitors D.he won respect from his customers 23.From the passage we can infer that ______.A.Eaton invented the idea of the internet shopping B.Eaton drove other businessmen to failure C.Eaton never sold his goods on credit D.Eaton was defeated by his rivals 24.The best title for this passage is _____.A.Good Goods, of Money Refunded B.Eaton, a Sales Inventor C.Customers’ Respect, a Secret of Success D.Eaton’s list, a Welcome Event in Sales History
25.Eaton’s List was important to people on farms because it was a convenient way of getting _____.A.good-quality goods at reasonable prices B.goods at unreasonable prices C.good-quality goods at unreasonable prices D.poor-quality goods at reasonable prices Passage Two Questions 26 to 30 are based on the following passage.The threat of a global outbreak(疾病大爆发)of bird flu makes it urgent for the international community to cooperate effectively.Wealthy countries will have to provide hundreds of millions of dollars for the testing and production of medicines necessary for treating patients suffering from bird flu.Developing countries, particularly in Southeast Asia, where the bird flu virus(病毒)has spread since 1997, must work out special programs so that farmers will not hide sighs of possible outbreaks.In addition, the way such farm birds as chickens and ducks are traditionally raised and marketed in the developing world should be changed;there should be more distance between the birds and their keepers.Countries should deal with the disease with joint effort.If one country is inadequately prepared, it will be a threat to every other country.The potential effects of a national outbreak of bird flu are enormous.Firstly, an outbreak may kill large numbers of people.World Health Organization(WHO)estimates that an outbreak similar to the mild Hong Kong flu of 1968 could kill as many as 7.4 millions people.If it were as dangerous as the 1918 Spanish flu, which killed 50 million, the number would be much higher.Secondly, such an outbreak may cause great financial damage.The latest outbreak of bird flu, which began in December 2003, has cost Southeast Asia more than $10 billion and depressed its GDP by 1.5 percent.If a new outbreak of bird flu were to last for a whole year, $800 billion would be lost.Despite the 124 human cases and 63 deaths from bird flu since December 2003, the virus remains mainly a disease animals.However, the more animals that die of the disease, the more chances it has of spreading to people.Large numbers of dead or dying birds mean that more people will be exposed to the virus and change into a virus with new characteristics.If the international community works together efficiently, man can surely prevent such a virus and possibly save millions of lives.26.Faced with the threat of a global outbreak of bird flu, the international community should ________.A.establish new markets B.work together effectively C.stop birds from flying to other countries D.raise fewer chickens and ducks 27.The second paragraph focuses on ______.A.World Health Organization B.flus in Hong Kong and Spain C.the economy of Southeast Asia D.possible effects of a bird flu outbreak 28.The number of people who have died of bird flu since 2003 is _______.A.63 B.124 C.7.4 million D.50 million 29.In the third paragraph, the author is mainly interested in _____.A.stimulating financial growth B.reducing economic damages C.saving human lives D.protecting bird species 30.The passage deals with all the following aspects bird flu EXCEPT _______.A.the origin and history of bird flu B.the importance of international cooperation C.the possible dangers of a national outbreak D.the significance of preventing it from spreading Passage Three Questions 31 to 35 are based on the following passage.The long summer holidays are finally over and some parents are pleased.―We worry more about their safety in the holidays,‖ explains one mother from North London.If teenagers are not wandering around on public transport in a big and potentially dangerous city, they are chatting to strangers in an internet chat room!Well, that’s an extreme picture of the UK today, but many parents are worried about how much freedom they can give their children during the holidays and at weekends.Weekends are not the only time to worry!Newspaper are full of stories about too many school kids going to school by car because their parents do not want them to travel alone on a bus or train.This summer there were more frightening stories of teenagers disappearing with questionable friends that they met on the net.All the Media stories help increase parents fears, but is the UK really so dangerous? Many young people feel that life for their parents was easier.In the 1960s young people played in the streets more and traveled around town without their parents.―At least our parents can keep tabs on us,‖ says 16-year-old Julia.―So many people have mobile phones now and their parents ring to find out where they are.I use my mobile to get Dad to come to the station when I arrive late.‖ Mobiles are not just expensive toys;they help keep young people safe.Most significantly, they help keep young people safe.Most significantly, they make parents feel better.Only one problem is, though, that some young people have been attacked by thieves who want to steal their mobile phones.Young people like going out with friends, but they now need to learn how to get home safely.Five million young people in the UK between the ages of 9 to 16 use chat rooms to make friends, but they, too, need to be careful and never give their personal details to a stranger.Young people today have more opportunities to meet new people and go out at night more than their parents ever did.Now school, television programs and newspapers must help teenagers to enjoy their freedom and to be responsible for their own safety.31.Some parents are upset about the summer holidays mainly because their children ______.A.wander around on bus in the city B.chat to strangers in Internet chat rooms C.make questionable friends on the net D.are taken little care of by teachers 32.For the sake of the safety, many parents send their kids to school ________.A.by car B.by bus C.by train D.by public transport 33.Most significantly, mobile phones _______.A.enable parents keep a close watch on their kids B.help keep teenagers safe C.make parents feel less worried D.protect teenagers from being attacked 34.Teenagers should never give any strangers ______.A.their mobile phone numbers B.their family address C.their personal information D.their parents’ names 35.This passage is mainly about ________.A.freedom for teenagers in summer holidays B.safety for teenagers in summer holidays C.activities for teenagers in summer holidays D.troubles for teenagers in summer holidays PART TWO(50 POINTS)IV.Word Spelling(10 points, 1 point for two items)将下列汉语单词译成英语。每个单词的词类、首字母及字母数目均已给出。请将完整的单词写在答题纸上。36.获胜者，优胜者 n.w_ _ _ _ _ 37.（使）枯萎，凋谢 v.w_ _ _ _ _ 38.垂直的，竖的 a.v_ _ _ _ _ _ _ 39.易变的，变量的 a.v_ _ _ _ _ _ _ 40.唯一的，独特的 a.u_ _ _ _ _ 41.地下的，隐蔽的 a.u_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 42.真实的，如实地 ad.t_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 43.星期二 n.T_ _ _ _ _ _ 44.传统，惯例 n.t_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 45.同情，同情心 n.s_ _ _ _ _ _ _ 46.投降，让步 vi.s_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 47.足够的，充分的 a.s_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 48.亲属，亲戚 n.r_ _ _ _ _ _ _ 49.抵抗，反抗 n.r_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 50.有目的的，蓄意的 a.p_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 51.财产；性质 n.p_ _ _ _ _ _ _ 52.俯望，漏看 vt.o_ _ _ _ _ _ _ 53.发源，源自 vi.o_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 54.音乐的，悦耳的 a.m_ _ _ _ _ _ 55.意图，打算 n.i_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _

VII.Translation from English into Chinese(15 points)将下列短文译成汉语并将答案写在答题纸上。
There is a clear distinction between one who is supposed to know and another, usually a younger person who is supposed not to know.However, teaching is not necessarily the area of a special group of people, nor should it be looked upon as a technical skill.Teaching can be more like guiding and assisting than forcing information into a blank mind.If you have a certain skill, you should be able to share it with others.You do not have to get a certificate to convey what you know to them or to help them in their attempt to teach themselves.All of us, from the very youngest children to the oldest members of our society, should come to realize our own talent and abilities as teachers.We can share what we know, however little it might be, with others who have need of that knowledge or skill.2006年4月高等教育自学考试全国统一命题考试 英语

VII.Translation from English into Chinese(本大题共15分)一般认为，有知识的人与没有知识的人――他们通常是较年轻的人――之间的区别非常明显。然而，教学不一定是某个特殊群体的领域，也不应该被看作是一项专业技能。教学不止是将信息硬塞进空白的头脑，而更应是指导和帮助。只要你有某种特定的技能，你就应当能与他人分享。你没必要持有证书才能把你的知识传授给他人，或为他们的自学提供帮助。我们社会中每一个成员，从蹒跚学步的孩童到耄耋之年的老者，都应当意识到自己作为教师的才能。尽管我们可能知之甚少，但仍应能与那些需要我们的人来分享我们的知识和技能。〔评分参考〕
