1.正确答案：B答案解析：in trouble：陷入困境。由于经济陷入困境，所以支持率下降了很多，符合句意。
2.正确答案：C答案解析：本句中that引导的也是同位语从句。
3.正确答案：B答案解析：in that意思是：在于，因为。解释differ from automatic machines的具体方面。
4.正确答案：B答案解析：空格前面是belief，后面是一个结构完整的句子，解释说明belief的具体内容。所以用that引导这个同位语从句。
5.正确答案：A答案解析：此题考查的是固定词组搭配。at a stretch一口气地。
6.正确答案：D答案解析：be left……：被置于……的境地。它是leave sth……的被动式。standing：站立的，固定的，直立的。be left加形容词是常用的一种表达方式。
7.正确答案：C答案解析：译文：尽管他很累，他也没有时间休息。此题考查的是让步状语从句，从句中表语提前。
8.正确答案：D答案解析：译文：既然我们已经有了命题，我们就不应漫无边际地交谈。此题考查对固定短语的掌握情况。at once立刻;at hand在附近，在手头，即将发生;at intervals间或，不时;at random随便，任意。
9.正确答案：C答案解析：译文：当他真正需要鼓励时，你为什么责备他的拙劣判断。此题考查准确判断句子结构。when引导时间状语从句，what he really needs充当这个时间状语从句的主语。

13.正确答案：C答案解析：what引导宾语从句，并在从句中作主语。句意：尽管汤姆对自己的学术成就很满意，但是他想知道他的家庭生活将会如何?
14.正确答案：A答案解析：此题考查倒装句。否定词位于句首，句子应该部分倒装。句意：我们国家从来没有像今天一样进步如此迅速。
15.正确答案：A答案解析：where引导的定语从句修饰先行词Shakespeare Theatre.此处并非强调结构，将“Is it去掉后，可以看出，这个句子缺少介词，所以，如果在原句中Shakespeare Theatre的前面加上介词in或at，则成为强调句。
16.正确答案：B答案解析：本题考察与过去事实相反的虚拟语气。
17.正确答案：C答案解析：注意，本句话并非定语从句，而是宾语从句。因为在介词in 后面，应该用what引导的宾语从句，what在宾语从句中作主语。
18.正确答案：B答案解析：虚拟语气用法。句意：我(那时)真的很担心你。你本不应该不留个话就离开家。
19.正确答案：C答案解析：句意：他被说服退出竞选总统。convince使相信;信服;说服。
20.正确答案：A答案解析：从句中动作的发出者和主句相同，用现在分词短语作时间状语。题意为：他一边看书，一边不时地点头。

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
Question 21 to 25 are based on the following passage.Like fingerprints, no two faces are exactly the same.Did you ever wonder how it is possible for us to recognize people? Even a skilled writer probably could not describe all the characters that make one face different from another.Yet a very young child---even an animal, such as a bird------can learn to recognize faces.We all take this ability for granted.We also tell two people apart by how they behave.A person’s personality means the ways in which he acts, speaks, thinks and feels that make him different from others.Like the human face, human personality is very complex.But describing a person’s personality in words is somewhat easier than describing his face, if you were asked to describe what a “nice face” looks like, you would have a difficult time doing so.But if you were asked to describe a “nice person”, you might begin to think about someone who is kind, thoughtful, warm, and so on.There are many words that can be used to describe how a person thinks, feels, and acts.Gordon Allport, a U.S.scientist who studies the human mind, found nearly 18,000 English words characterizing differences in human behavior.And many of us use these words to describe different types of people----bookworms(书呆子), fools, workaholics(工作狂).21.According to the passage, a very young child can _______.A.learn to recognize faces
B.describe how a person thinks
C.learn to recognize fingerprints
D.describe what a “nice person” is like
22.According to the passage, we can tell two people apart by ________.A.their behavior
B.their names
C.their hands
D.their clothes
23.Describing a “nice face” _________.A.is quite easy
B.is a difficult task
C.is not as difficult as describing a “nice person”
D.may remind you of someone who was kind, thoughtful and friendly
24.It can be concluded from the passage that _________.A.a “nice person” is very complex
B.it’s hard to describe a “nice person”
C.a “nice person” is considerate and kind
D.when we tell one person from another, we often refer to their face
25.Which of the following statements is NOT true about Gordon Allport?
A.He describes himself as a bookworm.B.He does research on the human mind.C.He found about 18,000 English words to describe human behavior.D.The words he found are being used by many people to describe a person.Passage Two
Questions 26 to 30 are based on the following passage.Although April did not bring the rains we all hoped for, and although the Central Valley doesn’t generally experience the atmospheric(大气的)sound and lightning that can accompany those rains, it is still important for parents to be able to answer the youthful questions about thunder and lightning.The reason that these that these two wonders of nature are so difficult for many adults to explain to children is that they are not very well understood by adults themselves.For example, did you know that the lighting we see flashing(闪烁)down to the earth from a cloud is actually flashing up to a cloud from the earth? Our eyes cheat us into thinking we see a downward motion when it’s actually the other way round.But then, if we believe only what we think we see, we’d still insist that the sun rises in the morning and sets at night.Most lightning flashes take place inside a cloud, and only a relative few can be seen jumping between two clouds or between the earth and a cloud.But, with about 2,000 thunderstorms taking place above the earth every minute of the day and night, there’s enough activity to produce about 100 lightning strikes on the earth every second.Parents can use thunder and lightning to help their children learn more about the world around them.When children understand that the light of the lightning flashes reaches their eyes almost at the same moment, but the sound of the thunder takes about 5 seconds to travel just one mile, they can begin to time the interval between the flash and the crash to learn how close they are to the actual spark.26.According to the first paragraph, in the Central Valley area, rains come _____.A.when it is April B.when the field is dry
C.when people all hope for it D.usually without thunder and lighting
27.We tend to think that lighting moves downward because_____.A.our eyes play a joke on us B.we take it to be true scientifically
C.we cannot see it clearly most of the time D.it always runs down from a cloud to the earth
28.Which of the following is NOT true about lighting according to the passage?
A.Most lightning flashes take place inside a cloud.B.About 2,000 thunderstorms occur above the earth every minute.C.People can seldom see lightning flashes running between two clouds or between the earth and a cloud.D.The thunderstorms happening above the earth can provide enough power to produce about 100 lightning strikes every second.29.What does the word “ spark” in the last paragraph probably refer to ?
A.Cloud B.Rain C.Thunderstorm D.Lightning flash
30.What does the passage imply?
A.Seeing is believing.B.We should never trust what we see or hear.C.People may easily make mistakes in their understanding of nature.D.Children sometimes know more about nature than their parents do.Passage Three
Questions 31 to 35 are based on the following passage.The year at an American college is divided into 2 semesters or 3 quarters.Semesters are 15 weeks;quarters are 10 weeks.American college students usually attend school from September to May.They can also study during the summer.Students choose their classes a few weeks before the start of each term.Universities offer a great many classes in the students’ main area of study and in other areas as well.Students must take both.These include science, mathematics, computer, history and English.Other classes may be just for fun, like dance, theater or sports.Tests usually are given in the middle of the term and at the end.The final examinations are extremely important.In some classes, the professor asks the students to write a research paper or complete a certain task instead of taking a test.Classes usually are organized through lectures.For example, a student may attend 2 or 3 lectures a week by the professor.As many as several hundred students sit at each lecture.Sometimes they also attend a smaller class to ask questions and discuss what the professor says.These small classes are taught by professor’s assistants.In science classes, students also have a long laboratory class each week.31.Which of the following is NOT true?
A.Semesters are 15 weeks and quarters are 10 weeks.B.American students can also study during the summer.C.American students attend school from autumn to summer.D.The year at an American college is divided into 2 semesters or 3quarters.32.Which of the following is NOT a required subject according to the passage?
A.Science.B.Dance.C.Medicine.D.Computer.33.Usually, how many tests organized through the following EXCEPT _____.A.One.B.Two C.Three D.Four
34.Classes are usually organized through the following EXCEPT _______.A.lectures B.experiments C.research papers D.questions and discussions
35.Who give the small classes? A.Professor B.Monitor C.President D.Professor’s assistants.PART TWO

“When I got that great job, did Jim really feel good about it, as a friend? Or did he envy(妒忌)my luck?” When we look back, doubts like these can make us feel bad.But when we look back, it’s too late.Sometimes what people say hides their real meaning.And is 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 guy(小伙子)”, that’s being friendly.But “lucky dog”? There’s a bit of envy in those words.What he may be saying is that he doesn’t think you deserve your luck.参考答案

任何年龄的人都可能犯错误。我们犯的错误有时是在钱方面，但多数错误则是与有关。“我和海伦分手，杰瑞是否真的在意?” “我有了这份好工作，作为朋友，吉米是否真的高兴?还是他会妒忌我的好运?” 当我们回过头来看已经发生的事时，像这样的疑问会使我们感觉心情不好。但此时回想，为时已晚。
有时候人们说的话隐藏了他们真实的含义。如果我们没能仔细听，就无法感受话语之外的意思。假设某个人告诉你说：“你是个幸运的家伙。”他真是站在你一边赞扬你吗?如果他说：“你是个幸运的小伙子。” 这是对你表示友好。但是“幸运的家伙”这句话时友好吗?这些词语中就有妒忌的含义。他可能想说的是他认为你不该如此幸运。

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择项中选出一个最佳答案，并在答题纸上将相应的字母涂黑。Passage One
Questions 21 to 25 are based on the following passage.Young people often wonder at the large number of employers who do not respond to their applications for jobs.They say that despite enclosing return envelopes they hear nothing at all or , at best , an impersonal(无人情味的)note is sent declaring that the post for which they applied has been filled.Applicants often suspect that job vacancies are set aside for friends and relatives and that advertisements are only put to prevent this accusation(指责).Many of them are tired of writing away and feel that if only they could obtain an interview with the right person their application would meet with success.Not to acknowledge applicants’ letters is impolite and there seems little excuse for this, yet even sending brief replies to the many who apply takes much time and money.That so-called return envelope may not have been stamped by the sender, and an office manger under the heavy workload may be reluctant to send off long letters of explanation to disappointed job-hunters.A brief note is all that can be managed and even that depends on the policy of the firm.But the difficulty is reasonably easy to remove with a little goodwill.21．It can be inferred from the first paragraph that applicants have good reasons to believe that the posts they apply for_______________.A．are only for the purpose of advertisement
B．are reserved for friends and relatives
C．are not there at all
D．are not good enough to satisfy their needs
22．Many job-hunters think that they can get a job if_______________.A．they write more letters of application
B．they find the right person
C．they have more success
D．they can get an interview
23．The chief reason for a manager not to acknowledge applicants’ letters is that _________________.A．it takes a lot of time and money
B．it takes a lot of trouble
C．it requires a lot of efforts
D．it requires a lot of energy
24．The author thinks that a letter to an applicant should be_______________.A．a long one
B．a short one
C．a brief one with a little goodwill
D．one with full explanation
25．What is the major complaint of job-hunters?
A．They have no chance to see the manager.B．Their letters of application often get no response.C．Job advertisements are totally a lie.D．Writing application letters takes up too much of their time.Passage Two
Questions 26 to 30 are based on the following passage.Let’s look at another example of how people’s communication patterns differ: the way people converse.Some foreigners have observed that when Americans carry on a conversation, it seems as if they are having a Ping-Pong game.One person has the ball and then hits it to the other side of the table.The other player hits the ball back and the game continues.If one person doesn’t return the ball, then the conversation stops.Each part of the conversation follows this pattern: the greeting and the opening, the discussion of a topic, and the closing and farewell.If either person talks too much, the other may become impatient and feel that he is dominating the conversation.Similarly, if one person doesn’t say enough or ask enough questions to keep the conversation going, the conversation stops.Many North Americans, are impatient with culturally different conversation styles simply because the styles are unfamiliar.For example, to many North Americans it seems that some Latin Americans dominate conversations, or hold the ball too long.Speaking of her co-workers from several Latin American countries, one North American woman said, “I just find it difficult to cut in.They seem to take such a long time to express themselves.They give you a lot of unnecessary details.”When she talked with them, she became tense, because she found it so hard to participate.Yet she also noted that when they talked to each other, nobody seemed uncomfortable or left out.The North American woman didn’t know how to interrupt the Latin American conversations because North American ways of listening and breaking in are very different.She had been taught to listen politely until the other person finished talking.(Once again, there are gender(性别)differences;it has been observed that men tend to interrupt women more than women interrupt men.)When the North American woman did what was “natural” or “normal”for her(i.e., listen politely without interrupting), she was not comfortable in the conversation with the Latin Americans.The result was that she became more passive in her conversations with her co-workers.The differences between the unspoken rules of conversation of each cultural group interfered with their on-the-job relationship.26．When North Americans converse together, each one of the group is supposed to_______________.A．participate in the talk
B．play Ping-Pong games
C．interrupt the speaker
D．dominate the conversation
27．When North Americans converse with the Latin Americans, the North Americans would feel_______________.A．involved
B．left out
C．comfortable
D．relaxed
28．To the North Americans, the Latin Americans are_______________.A．polite
B．communicative
C．dominant
D．familiar
29．We can infer from this passage that_______________.A．people from different cultures cannot communicate with each other
B．different conversational styles may affect people’s relationships
C．men are more talkative than women
D．North Americans’ conversational habits are better than those of Latin Americans’
30．The best title for this passage is_______________.A．Different Conversation Styles
B．Different Conversation Topics
C．Different Conversation Processes
D．Different Conversation Effects Passage Three
Questions 31 to 35 are based on the following passage.When your parents advise you to “get an education” in order to raise your income, they tell you only half the truth.What they really mean is to get just enough education to provide manpower for your society, but not so much that you prove an embarrassment to your society.Get a college degree, if possible.With a B.A., you’ll have a good start.But now you have to slow down.If you go for a master’s degree, make sure it is an M.B.A., and only from a first-rate university.Beyond this, the famous law of diminishing returns(报酬递减率)begins to take effect.Do you know, for instance, that long distant truck drivers earn more per year than full professors? Yes, the average 1977 salary for those truckers was $ 24, 000, while the full professors managed to earn just $ 23, 030.A Ph.D.(博士)is the highest degree you can get.Except for a few specialized fields such as physics or chemistry where the degree can quickly be turned to industrial or commercial purposes, if you pursue such a degree in any other field, you will face a dim future.There are more Ph.D.s unemployed or under-employed in this country than in any other part of the world.If you become a Ph.D.in English or history or political science or languages or—worst of all—in philosophy, you run the risk of becoming overeducated for our national demands.Not for our needs, mind you, but for our demands.Thousands of Ph.D.s are selling shoes, driving cars, waiting on tables, and endlessly filling out applications month after month.They may also take a job in some high school or second-rate college that pays much less than what the doorkeeper earns.You can equate(同等看待)the level of income with the level of education only so far.Far enough, that is, to make you useful to the gross national product, but not so far that nobody can turn much of a profit on you.31．Your parents advise you to “get an education” partly because they want you_______________.A．to gain more knowledge
B．to earn more money
C．to get a degree
D．to free yourself from embarrassment
32．From the second paragraph, we can infer that both B.A.and M.B.A.are_______________.A．professions
B．jobs
C．college degrees
D．academic disciplines
33．According to the author, _______________.A．a high degree helps you greatly in finding a satisfactory job
B．a high degree does not necessarily help you to find a satisfactory job
C．the higher degree you get, the more money you can make
D．the higher degree you get, the dimmer future you will face
34．The author would advise you to specialize in the fields of _______________ for a doctor’s degree.A．physics or chemistry
B．English or history
C．political science
D．philosophy
35．Which of the following statements is NOT true according to the passage?
A．Well-educated professionals sometimes earn less than truck drivers.B．It’s easier for those who specialize in the fields of physics and chemistry to find a job.C．Some Ph.D.graduates work as shop assistants, car drivers, waiters or waitresses, because they cannot find a suitable job.D．Your Ph.D.degree will make your country embarrassed.Ⅳ．Word Spelling(10 points, I point for two items)

Large modern cities are too big to control.They impose their own living conditions on people.City inhabitants are forced by their environment to adopt a wholly unnatural way of life.They lose touch with nature.It is possible to live such an air-conditioned life in a large city that you are barely conscious of the seasons.A few flowers in a public park(if you have the time to visit it)may remind you that it is spring or summer.A few leaves falling down from trees may remind you that it is autumn.Beyond that, what is going on in nature seems totally irrelevant.All the simple, good things of life—like sunshine and fresh air—are rare and precious.Tall buildings block the sun.Traffic fumes pollute the atmosphere.Even the distinction between day and night is lost.The flow of traffic goes on unceasingly and the noise never stops.参考答案

现代化的大城市大得难以控制，他们将他们的生活条件强加给人们。都市居民由于周围的环境被迫去适应一种完全不自然的生活方式，他们失去了与大自然的亲近。空调布置的生活可能让人们意识不到季节的更迭，只有公园里的几朵鲜花(如果你有时间游览的话)，或许会提醒你这是春天或夏天，树上飘落的树叶告诉你那是金秋。除此之外，自然界中新发生的一切似乎与他们毫不相干。生活中所有简单、美好的东西，像阳光和新鲜空气，都是稀有与珍贵的。高楼遮住了阳光，汽车尾气污染了空气，甚至白天与黑夜的界限也消失了。车流不息，噪音不休。

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。

are 11 of reasons for this.One of them is the overload of messages most of us 12 each day.In addition to the numerous hours we 13 hearing other people speak, we may spend several hours listening to the radio or sitting in front of a television set.14, it is impossible to focus our attention completely on what is said;our mind might be 15 elsewhere.Preoccupation with our personal concerns is 16 reason we don’t always listen carefully.A romance 17 sour or a good grade on a test may take prominence in our mind even as 18 is speaking to us.Furthermore, we are surrounded by all kinds of noises which interfere 19 listening.For example, voices at a party or 20 of traffic may simply make it difficult for us to catch everything that is being said.11.A.the number B.a number C.number D.numbers

each)Passage One Questions 21 to 25 are based on the following passage.Many of today’s most trusted sales techniques were invented over a century ago by a young merchant named Eaton in Toronto.When he 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

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〕
