Ⅲ.Reading Comprehension(30 points, 2 point 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，并在答题卡上将相应的字母涂黑。

Passage One Questions 21 to 25 are based on the following passage.One day, the principal came into our room and, after talking to the teacher, for some reason said: “I wish all of the white scholars to stand for a moment.” I rose with the others.The teacher looked at me and, calling my name, said: “You sit down for the present, and rise with the others.” I did not quite understand her.She repeated: “You sit down now, and rise with the others.” I sat down puzzled and dumb.I saw and heard nothing.When the other were asked to rise, I did not know it.When school was dismissed, I went out unconsciously.A few of the white boys laughed at me, saying: “Oh, you’re a nigger, too.”

I hurried on as fast as I could to where my looking–glass hung on the wall in my own little room.For an instant I was afraid to look, but when I did, I looked long and earnestly.I was accustomed to hearing remarks about my beauty;but now, for the first time, I became conscious of it and recognized it.I noticed the ivory(象牙)whiteness of my skin, the beauty of my mouth, the size and liquid darkness of my eyes.I ran downstairs and rushed to where my mother was sitting.I buried my head in her lap and cried out: “Mother, tell me, am I a nigger?” I could not see her face, but I felt her hands on my head.I looked up into her face.There were tears in her eyes and I could see that she was suffering for me.And then it was that I looked at her critically for the first time.I had thought of her in a childish way only as the most beautiful woman in the world;now I looked at her searching for defects.I could see that her skin was almost brown, and that she did differ in some way from the other ladies who came to the house;yet, even so I could see that she was more

2005年10月自考英语

（二）beautiful than any of them.She must have felt that I was examining her, for she hid her face in my hair and said with difficulty: “No, my darling, you are not a nigger.” She went on: “If anyone calls you a nigger, don’t notice them.” But the more she talked, the less was I reassured, and I stopped her by asking: “Well, mother, am I white? Are you white?” She answered tremblingly: “No, I am not white, but your father is one of the greatest men in the country.The best blood of the South is in you.” This suddenly opened up in my heart a fresh fear, and I almost fiercely demanded: “Who is my father? Where is he?” She stroked my hair and said: “I’ll tell you about him some day.” I sobbed: “I want to know now.” She answered: “No, not now.” 21.We can infer from the passage that “a nigger ”means________.A.a white person B.a black person C.anyone that is not white D.anyone that is not black 22.When the teacher asked him to sit down and rise with the others, the author was confused because_________.A.he never considered himself a non-white person B.he thought the teacher didn’t recognize him C.he thought he should be considered D.he thought it rude for the teacher to call his name 23.It was on that day that he began to realize that _________.A.he was a nigger B.he was different from others because of his beauty C.his color was like that of his mother D.he differed from other white people even with his beauty 24.From the passage we can learn that _________.A.the boy’s father left them for some reasons B.the boy’s mother didn’t want to mention his father at all C.the boy never met his father before D.the boy’s mother hated his father 25.This passage generally tells us a story of ________.A.a boy who suddenly realized that he was a colored person B.a boy who had been looked down upon because he had no father C.the miserable life of colored people D.the life of a one-parent family

Passage Two Questions 26 to 30 are based on the following passage.For Americans, time is a “resource” that, like water or coal, can be used well or poorly.“Time is money,” they say.“You only get so much time in this life;you’d best use it wisely.” The future will not be better than the past or the present unless people use their time fro constructive, future-oriented activities.Thus, Americans admire a “well-organized” person, one who has a written list of things to do and a schedule for doing them.The ideal person is punctual and treasures other people’s time.The American attitude towards time is not necessarily shared by others, especially non-Europeans.They are more likely to consider time as something that is simply there around them, not something they can “use”.One of the more difficult things many foreign businessmen and students must adjust to in the States is the notion that time

2005年10月自考英语

（二）must be saved whenever possible and used wisely every day.In their efforts to use their time wisely, Americans are sometimes seen by foreign visitors as automatons, unhuman creatures who are so tied to their clocks and their schedules that they cannot participate in or enjoy the human interactions that are the truly important things in life.“They are like little machines running around,” one foreign visitor said.The emphasis Americans place on efficiency is closely related to their concepts of the future, change and time.To do something efficiently is to do it in the way that is quickest and requires the smallest investment of resources.American businesses sometimes hire “efficiency experts” to review their operations and suggest ways in which they could accomplish more than they are currently accomplishing with the resources they are investing.Popular periodicals carry suggestions for more efficient ways to clean house, raise children, tend the yard, and so on.In this context the “fast-food industry” can be seen as a clear example of an American cultural product.McDonald’s, Kentucky Fried Chicken, Pizza Hut, and other fast-food establishments prosper in a country where many people want to minimize the amount of time they spend preparing and eating meals.The millions of Americans who take their meals at fast-food restaurants cannot have much interest in lingering over their food while conversing with friends, as millions of Europeans do.As McDonald’s restaurants have spread around the world, they have been viewed as symbols of American society and culture, bringing not just hamburgers but an emphasis on speed, efficiency, and shiny cleanliness.The typical American food, some observers argue, is fast food.26.If a person treasures other people’s time, he.A.does not waste people’s time with conversation or activity that has no beneficial outcome B.does not believe the future will be any better than the present or the past C.likes to deep a written schedule of the daily activities with him D.likes to have his meals at the fast-food restaurants to save time 27.In the eyes of the foreign visitors in the States, American people.A.think that time is always there which needs budgeting B.enjoy saving and using time wisely everyday C.are indifferent in that they are like feelingless machines D.are so fully engaged that they are unable to enjoy the important things in life 28.What is the job of an efficiency expert? A.Writing articles for periodicals.B.Recommending ways of efficient investment.C.Examining the quality of a company’s products.D.Teaching people how to take care of their yard.29.Which of the following can be inferred from the last paragraph? A.Many Americans love having meals at fast-food restaurants.B.Americans are busier than other people in the world.C.The American fast-food industry helps spread the American culture around the world.D.The United States is the father of the world’s fast-food industry.30.The best title for this passage is..A.The American Concept of Time

2005年10月自考英语

（二）B.The Development of the American Fast Food Industry C.How to Raise Efficiency D.The American Food and Culture

Passage Three Questions 31 to 35 are based on the following passage.It is difficult to estimate the number of youngsters involved in home schooling, where children are not sent to school and receive their formal education from one or both parents.Legislation and court decisions have make it legally possible in most states for parents to educate their children at home, and each year more people take advantage of that opportunity.Supporters of home education claim that it is less expensive and far more efficient than mass public education.Moreover they quote several merits: relief of school overcrowding, added curricular and pedagogical(课程和教学法)alternatives, strengthened family relationships, lower dropout rates, increased motivation, higher standardized test scores, and reduced discipline problems.Supporters of home schooling also believe that it provides the parents with the opportunity to reinforce their moral values through education.Critics of home schooling movement claim that it creates as many problems as it solves.They acknowledge that, in a few cases, home schooling offers educational opportunities superior to those found in most public schools, but few parents can provide such educational advantages.Some parents who withdraw their children form the schools in favor of home schooling have an inadequate educational background and insufficient formal training to provide a satisfactory education for their children.Typically, parents have fewer, not more technological resources available than do schools.However, the relatively inexpensive computer technology that is readily available today is causing some to challenge the notion that home schooling is in any way not so good as more highly structured classroom education.Finally, a sociological(社会学)concern is the restricted social interaction experienced by children who are educated at home.Technology will never replace the pupil-teacher relationship.Also, while relationships with parents and brothers and sisters may be improved, children taught at home may develop a distorted(歪曲的)view of society.31.The main idea of the passage is that.A.more and more parents are in favor of home schooling B.home schooling is superior to school education because it has been legally approved C.though home schooling has its advantages, it creates as many new problems at the same time D.school education is no doubt better than home education 32.Those who support home schooling think that.A.it’s less expensive and more efficient apart from other merits B.it has added curricular and pedagogical alternatives C.it will cause fewer discipline problems D.it’s more important to reinforce moral values 33.Critics believe that.A.few parents can afford computers and technology when providing home education

2005年10月自考英语

（二）B.few parents are qualified enough to provide a satisfactory home education C.school teachers are better than parents D.classroom environment can provide most satisfactory education 34.According to the author, home schooling cannot help children.A.acquire social knowledge B.build up a relationship with family members C.build up pupil-teacher relationship D.develop a right view of society 35.The attitude of the author toward home schooling is.A.vague B.positive C.totally negative D.straight-forward

Planning is a very important activity in our lives.It can give pleasure and even excitement, but cause quite severe headaches.The more significant the task ahead, the more careful the planning required.Getting to school or to work on time is a task requiring little or no planning.It is almost a routine.A month’s touring holiday abroad, or better still, getting married, is a different matter altogether.If the holiday involves a church wedding, with 50 guests, a reception, a honeymoon in Italy, and returning to a new home, this requires even more planning to make sure that is successful.Planning is our way of trying to ensure success and of avoiding costly failures we cannot afford.It is equally essential to mankind as a whole, to nations, to families and to each individual;the scale may vary, but the degree of importance does not.2005年4月高等教育自学考试全国统一命题考试

D.scream III.Reading Comprehension(30 points, 2 points 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 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

（二）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 _____.2005年10月英语

（二）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

（二）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)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。

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

（二）look at the person talking.Do 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 1.A.ask the speaker as many questions as he can 2.B.observe the speaker as carefully as possible 3.C.listen to the speaker as attentively as he can 4.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).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

（二）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 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.2005年10月英语

（二）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 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

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.2006年10月高等教育自学考试全国统一命题考试

2005年10月英语

（二）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.interesting B.ridiculous C.capricious D.instructive 23.The word 'company' in the first paragraph refers to __.A.companions B.bankers C.lawyers D.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.rational B.reasonable C.beneficial D.unreasonable Passage Two

（二）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 people B.poor people C.natural disasters D.mankind 35.The topic of the passage is that __.A.the control of population is essential to the development of a nation

Passage One Questions 21 to 25 are based on the following passage.How often one hears children wishing they were grown up, and old people wishing they were young again.Each age has its pleasures and its pains, and the happiest person is the one who enjoys what each age gives him without wasting his time in useless regrets.Childhood is a time when there are few responsibilities.If a child has good parents, he is well fed, looked after and loved.It is unlikely that he will ever again in his life be given so much without having to do anything in return.In addition, life is always presenting new things to the child-things that have lost their interest for older people because they are too well known.A child finds pleasure in playing in the rain, or in the snow.His first visit to the seaside is a marvelous adventure．But a child has his pains：he is not so free to do as he wishes as he thinks older people are;he is continually being told what to do and what not to do．Therefore, a child is not happy as he wishes to be.When the young man starts to earn his own living, he becomes free from the discipline of school and parents;but at the same time he is forced to accept．responsibilities.With no one to pay for his food, his clothes, or his room, he has to work if he wants to live comfortably.If he spends most of his time playing

2005年10月英语

（二）about in the way that he used to as a child, he will go hungry.And if he breaks the laws of society as he used to break the laws of his parents, he may get himself into trouble.If, however, he works hard, goes by the law and has good health, he may feel satisfied in seeing himself make steady progress in his job and in building up for himself his own position in society.Old age has always been thought of as the worst age to be;but it is not necessary for the old to be unhappy.With old age comes wisdom and the ability to help others with advice wisely given.The old can have the joy of seeing their children making progress in life;they can watch their grandchildren growing up around them;and, perhaps best of all, they can, if their life has been a useful one, feel the happiness of having come through the battle of life safely and of having reached a time when they can lie back and rest, leaving everything to others.21．The happiest people should be those who A．face up to difficulties in life B．hope to be young again C．enjoy life in different ages D．wish to be grown up 22．The word “they” in Line 5，Para.2 refers to＿． A．older people B．new things C．children D．interests 23 ．A child has his pains because＿． A．he can not do whatever he wants to B．he is not allowed to play in rain C．he has a lot of new things to learn D.he can not play at the seaside freely 24．When a child becomes a grown-up, he is supposed to＿． A．live comfortably B．take responsibilities C．make progress in job

2005年10月英语

（二）D．impress the society 25．The best title of the passage might be＿． A．Pains and Ages B．Differences in Ages C．The Best Age to Be D．Happiness and Ages Passage Two Questions 26 to 30 are based on the following passage.We all know that humans are damaging the environment, but what can we do about it? Some people are trying to do their bit to be more environmentally friendly.Local councils in Britain encourage certain aspects of green living, such as recycling paper, tin, plastic and glass.They want to reduce the amount of rubbish going into landfill sites（填埋场），because they are running out of places to dump（倾倒）rubbish.In some areas rubbish for recycling is collected from your doorstep, but in other areas, you have to take it to a special recycling place, such as a bottle bank.Another way of reducing the amount of rubbish you create is to use reusable products instead of disposable ones For example, some people use strong shopping bags or boxes for their groceries instead of plastic carrier bags, or use washable nappies instead of disposables.More people are becoming interested in reducing their carbon footprint—the amount of carbon they use up.They try to reduce their carbon emissions（释放）by cycling, using public transport or an electric car, rather than driving gas-consuming vehicles.Some people choose not to fly for holiday trips because planes are the biggest producers of carbon emissions.You can make‘green’ choices when buying food too.It's best to buy food which was locally grown or produced so that it hasn't been imported by air, or shipped by road from far away.Houses can be environmentally friendly too.It takes less energy to heat a house if it has good insulation（绝缘，隔热）and double glazing(双层玻璃）．You can also create your own energy it you have solar panels or a wind turbine fitted though these

2005年10月英语

（二）can be expensive.You can also save water by using a rain water container for washing the car or watering the garden.It's even possible to use a system where‘grey water’—water which has been through a tap（水龙头）once already, is used to flush（冲洗）toilets.Some new housing projects are being built specifically to be as environmentally friendly as possible.26．The purpose of collecting reusable wastes is to＿． A．save energy consumed in daily life B．reduce the amount of rubbish dumped C．create a new way of green living D．decrease the amount of carbon produced 27．In order to cut down on the carbon emission, more people choose to travel＿． A．by electric car, bicycle or plane B．by private car, bicycle or bus C．by bus, electric car or plane D．by bicycle, bus or electric car 28．It is best for people to buy food＿when making‘green’ choices.A．produced locally B．imported abroad C．transported by road D．grown in green houses 29．As mentioned,‘grey water’ can be used to＿，A．wash the car B．water the garden C．clean the toilet D．dispose of wastes 30．The passage is intended to advise people＿． A．to make use of rubbish B．to save energy and water C．to recycle reusable products D．to have a green living Passage Three

2005年10月英语

（二）Questions 31 to 35 are based on the following passage.Americans are a very energetic and mobile people, always on the run;rushing from one appointment to another, from a PTA(Parent Teacher Association)meeting to a social planning committee.They have very little time to spend preparing elaborate（精致的，复杂的）everyday meals to be eaten at leisure.In many homes it is rare for the whole family to sit down at supper together.Clubs and committees force them to grab a quick meal rather than a sit-down supper.When they do have the chance to eat at home, often the working housewife prefers to prepare meals that can be quickly heated and consumed.It is no wonder, therefore, that America has become a shelter for fast food consumption.This great transformation occurred after World War Ⅱ when many women began to work full time and spend less time at home with their families.Women, however, wanted to function well in the capacity of homemaker, as well as that of career woman but time became a precious commodity（商品）which had to be carefully used.Therefore, it was necessary to make her life easier at home in the preparation of the family dinner.Simultaneously with women entering the job market there was also a shifting of the focus of home entertainment from the radio to the television.Television became the latest fashion in the 1950s and no one wanted to miss his or her favorite programs.And then, the place for supper shifted from the dining room to the living room.As the customs changed, so did the culture.The immediate solution for this was the invention of the TV dinner.These were frozen meals which were divided into portions of meat and vegetables.They could easily be put into an oven（锅）and prepared within minutes.The tin trays（托盘）in which they were served were conveniently carried into the living room and dinner was consumed in front of a TV set.Cleaning up afterwards was no problem.The tin trays were easily thrown into the garbage.From fast dinners at home the next step was quick eating while on the road.Love for TV was combined with the fascination for the automobile.It is not odd that with the development of the superhighways America saw the beginning of fast food chains.McDonald's paved the way with its variety of burgers and cold drinks soon to be followed by all kinds of other foods.Today dozens of fast-food chain stores can be

2005年10月英语

（二）found along highways, in modern shopping malls and scattered throughout neighborhoods in America.Taco Bell, Pizza Hut, Roy Roger's, Burger King and Wendy's are just a few of the fast-food chains which are now part of American culture． They offer chicken, donuts, tacos and pizza, all quickly produced in great quantities for the masses.These establishments have given shape to the modern lifestyles and diet of the American people.31．In America, the whole family seldom have dinner together at home because＿． A．they have so many social activities B．they have a lot of meetings to attend C．they rush from one appointment to another D．they often move from one place to another 32．America has become a shelter for fast food consumption because A．some women are engaged in entertainments B．few women are able to make meals at home C．women are unwilling to cook for their families D．many women are mostly occupied with work 33．The passage tells that nowadays Americans have their supper＿． A．in the dinning room B．in the living room C．in the grocery stores D．in the fast food chains 34．The word “establishments” in the last paragraph probably means＿． A．fast foods B．TV dinners C．shopping malls D．snack bars 35．The main idea of the passage is about＿.A．women's role in American families B．advantages of fast food for Americans C．modern lifestyles and diet in America D．shift of American home entertainment

Passage One Questions 21 to 25 are based on the following passage.One day, the principal came into our room and, after talking to the teacher, for some reason said: “I wish all of the white scholars to stand for a moment.” I rose with the others.The teacher looked at me and, calling my name, said: “You sit down for the present, and rise with the others.” I did not quite understand her.She repeated: “You sit down now, and rise with the others.” I sat down puzzled and dumb.I saw and heard nothing.When the other were asked to rise, I did not know it.When school was dismissed, I went out unconsciously.A few of the white boys laughed at me, saying: “Oh, you’re a nigger, too.”

I hurried on as fast as I could to where my looking–glass hung on the wall in my own little room.For an instant I was afraid to look, but when I did, I looked long and earnestly.I was accustomed to hearing remarks about my beauty;but now, for the first time, I became conscious of it and recognized it.I noticed the ivory(象牙)whiteness of my skin, the beauty of my mouth, the size and liquid darkness of my eyes.I ran downstairs and rushed to where my mother was sitting.I buried my head in her lap and cried out: “Mother, tell me, am I a nigger?” I could not see her face, but I felt her hands on my head.I looked up into her face.There were tears in her eyes and I could see that she was suffering for me.And then it was that I looked at her critically for the first time.I had thought of her in a childish way only as the most beautiful woman in the world;now I looked at her searching for defects.I could see that her skin was almost brown, and that she did differ in some way from the other ladies who came to the house;yet, even so I could see that she was more beautiful than any of them.She must have felt that I was examining her, for she hid her face in my hair and said with difficulty: “No, my darling, you are not a nigger.” She went on: “If anyone calls you a nigger, don’t notice them.” But the more she talked, the less was I reassured, and I stopped her by asking: “Well, mother, am I white? Are you white?” She answered tremblingly: “No, I am not white, but your

（二）father is one of the greatest men in the country.The best blood of the South is in you.” This suddenly opened up in my heart a fresh fear, and I almost fiercely demanded: “Who is my father? Where is he?” She stroked my hair and said: “I’ll tell you about him some day.” I sobbed: “I want to know now.” She answered: “No, not now.” 21.We can infer from the passage that “a nigger ”means________.A.a white person B.a black person C.anyone that is not white D.anyone that is not black 22.When the teacher asked him to sit down and rise with the others, the author was confused because_________.A.he never considered himself a non-white person B.he thought the teacher didn’t recognize him C.he thought he should be considered D.he thought it rude for the teacher to call his name 23.It was on that day that he began to realize that _________.A.he was a nigger B.he was different from others because of his beauty C.his color was like that of his mother D.he differed from other white people even with his beauty 24.From the passage we can learn that _________.A.the boy’s father left them for some reasons B.the boy’s mother didn’t want to mention his father at all C.the boy never met his father before D.the boy’s mother hated his father 25.This passage generally tells us a story of ________.A.a boy who suddenly realized that he was a colored person B.a boy who had been looked down upon because he had no father C.the miserable life of colored people D.the life of a one-parent family

Passage Two Questions 26 to 30 are based on the following passage.For Americans, time is a “resource” that, like water or coal, can be used well or poorly.“Time is money,” they say.“You only get so much time in this life;you’d best use it wisely.” The future will not be better than the past or the present unless people use their time fro constructive, future-oriented activities.Thus, Americans admire a “well-organized” person, one who has a written list of things to do and a schedule for doing them.The ideal person is punctual and treasures other people’s time.The American attitude towards time is not necessarily shared by others, especially non-Europeans.They are more likely to consider time as something that is simply there around them, not something they can “use”.One of the more difficult things many foreign businessmen and students must adjust to in the States is the notion that time must be saved whenever possible and used wisely every day.In their efforts to use their time wisely, Americans are sometimes seen by foreign visitors as automatons, unhuman creatures who are so tied to their clocks and their schedules that they cannot participate in or enjoy the human interactions that are the truly important things in life.“They are like little machines running around,”

2005年10月自考英语

（二）one foreign visitor said.The emphasis Americans place on efficiency is closely related to their concepts of the future, change and time.To do something efficiently is to do it in the way that is quickest and requires the smallest investment of resources.American businesses sometimes hire “efficiency experts” to review their operations and suggest ways in which they could accomplish more than they are currently accomplishing with the resources they are investing.Popular periodicals carry suggestions for more efficient ways to clean house, raise children, tend the yard, and so on.In this context the “fast-food industry” can be seen as a clear example of an American cultural product.McDonald’s, Kentucky Fried Chicken, Pizza Hut, and other fast-food establishments prosper in a country where many people want to minimize the amount of time they spend preparing and eating meals.The millions of Americans who take their meals at fast-food restaurants cannot have much interest in lingering over their food while conversing with friends, as millions of Europeans do.As McDonald’s restaurants have spread around the world, they have been viewed as symbols of American society and culture, bringing not just hamburgers but an emphasis on speed, efficiency, and shiny cleanliness.The typical American food, some observers argue, is fast food.26.If a person treasures other people’s time, he.A.does not waste people’s time with conversation or activity that has no beneficial outcome B.does not believe the future will be any better than the present or the past C.likes to deep a written schedule of the daily activities with him D.likes to have his meals at the fast-food restaurants to save time 27.In the eyes of the foreign visitors in the States, American people.A.think that time is always there which needs budgeting B.enjoy saving and using time wisely everyday C.are indifferent in that they are like feelingless machines D.are so fully engaged that they are unable to enjoy the important things in life 28.What is the job of an efficiency expert? A.Writing articles for periodicals.B.Recommending ways of efficient investment.C.Examining the quality of a company’s products.D.Teaching people how to take care of their yard.29.Which of the following can be inferred from the last paragraph? A.Many Americans love having meals at fast-food restaurants.B.Americans are busier than other people in the world.C.The American fast-food industry helps spread the American culture around the world.D.The United States is the father of the world’s fast-food industry.30.The best title for this passage is..A.The American Concept of Time B.The Development of the American Fast Food Industry C.How to Raise Efficiency D.The American Food and Culture

Passage Three

2005年10月自考英语

（二）Questions 31 to 35 are based on the following passage.It is difficult to estimate the number of youngsters involved in home schooling, where children are not sent to school and receive their formal education from one or both parents.Legislation and court decisions have make it legally possible in most states for parents to educate their children at home, and each year more people take advantage of that opportunity.Supporters of home education claim that it is less expensive and far more efficient than mass public education.Moreover they quote several merits: relief of school overcrowding, added curricular and pedagogical(课程和教学法)alternatives, strengthened family relationships, lower dropout rates, increased motivation, higher standardized test scores, and reduced discipline problems.Supporters of home schooling also believe that it provides the parents with the opportunity to reinforce their moral values through education.Critics of home schooling movement claim that it creates as many problems as it solves.They acknowledge that, in a few cases, home schooling offers educational opportunities superior to those found in most public schools, but few parents can provide such educational advantages.Some parents who withdraw their children form the schools in favor of home schooling have an inadequate educational background and insufficient formal training to provide a satisfactory education for their children.Typically, parents have fewer, not more technological resources available than do schools.However, the relatively inexpensive computer technology that is readily available today is causing some to challenge the notion that home schooling is in any way not so good as more highly structured classroom education.Finally, a sociological(社会学)concern is the restricted social interaction experienced by children who are educated at home.Technology will never replace the pupil-teacher relationship.Also, while relationships with parents and brothers and sisters may be improved, children taught at home may develop a distorted(歪曲的)view of society.31.The main idea of the passage is that.A.more and more parents are in favor of home schooling B.home schooling is superior to school education because it has been legally approved C.though home schooling has its advantages, it creates as many new problems at the same time D.school education is no doubt better than home education 32.Those who support home schooling think that.A.it’s less expensive and more efficient apart from other merits B.it has added curricular and pedagogical alternatives C.it will cause fewer discipline problems D.it’s more important to reinforce moral values 33.Critics believe that.A.few parents can afford computers and technology when providing home education B.few parents are qualified enough to provide a satisfactory home education C.school teachers are better than parents D.classroom environment can provide most satisfactory education 34.According to the author, home schooling cannot help children.A.acquire social knowledge

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 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

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 _______.2005年10月英语

（二）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 ______.2005年10月英语

（二）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)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。

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 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

2005年10月英语

（二）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).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

2005年10月英语

（二）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 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 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

2005年10月英语

（二）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

（二）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.2006年10月高等教育自学考试全国统一命题考试

（二）不是看其职业本身，而是看从事这一职业的个人爱好。比如，这个差异并不是体力劳动与脑力劳动之间的差异；一个花匠或皮匠可以是个工作者，而一个银行职员则可能是苦役者。对此从他对休闲的态度就可以看出。对于工作者来说，休闲只是他为了更有效地工作而放松休息的时间，因此他花费的休闲时间很可能太少而非太多，他常常死于冠心病或忘记他妻子的生日。而对于劳役者来说，休闲就是摆脱强制，因此对他来说自然是劳作时间越少而玩的时间越多越好。

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.Interesting B.ridiculous C.Capricious D.instructive 23.The word 'company' in the first paragraph refers to __.A.Companions B.bankers C.Lawyers D.prisoners 24.The banker was extremely excited because __.A.he was too rich to care for the money

2005年10月英语

（二）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.Rational B.reasonable C.Beneficial D.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

（二）34.Nature is very easily destroyed by __.A.rich people B.poor people C.natural disasters D.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。

Passage One Questions 21 to 25 are based on the following passage.How often one hears children wishing they were grown up, and old people wishing they were young again.Each age has its pleasures and its pains, and the happiest person is the one who enjoys what each age gives him without wasting his time in useless regrets.Childhood is a time when there are few responsibilities.If a child has good parents, he is well fed, looked after and loved.It is unlikely that he will ever again in his life be given so much without having to do anything in return.In addition, life is always presenting new things to the child-things that have lost their interest for older people because they are too well known.A child finds pleasure in playing in the rain, or in the snow.His first visit to the seaside is a marvelous adventure．But a child has his pains：he is not so free to do as he wishes as he thinks older people are;he is continually being told what to do and what not to do．Therefore, a child is not happy as he wishes to be.38

2005年10月英语

（二）When the young man starts to earn his own living, he becomes free from the discipline of school and parents;but at the same time he is forced to accept．responsibilities.With no one to pay for his food, his clothes, or his room, he has to work if he wants to live comfortably.If he spends most of his time playing about in the way that he used to as a child, he will go hungry.And if he breaks the laws of society as he used to break the laws of his parents, he may get himself into trouble.If, however, he works hard, goes by the law and has good health, he may feel satisfied in seeing himself make steady progress in his job and in building up for himself his own position in society.Old age has always been thought of as the worst age to be;but it is not necessary for the old to be unhappy.With old age comes wisdom and the ability to help others with advice wisely given.The old can have the joy of seeing their children making progress in life;they can watch their grandchildren growing up around them;and, perhaps best of all, they can, if their life has been a useful one, feel the happiness of having come through the battle of life safely and of having reached a time when they can lie back and rest, leaving everything to others.21．The happiest people should be those who__ A．face up to difficulties in life B．hope to be young again C．enjoy life in different ages D．wish to be grown up 22．The word “they” in Line 5，Para.2 refers to＿． A．older people B．new things C．Children D．interests 23 ．A child has his pains because＿． A．he can not do whatever he wants to B．he is not allowed to play in rain C．he has a lot of new things to learn D.he can not play at the seaside freely 24．When a child becomes a grown-up, he is supposed to＿． A．live comfortably B．take responsibilities

2005年10月英语

（二）C．make progress in job D．impress the society 25．The best title of the passage might be＿． A．Pains and Ages B．Differences in Ages C．The Best Age to Be D．Happiness and Ages Passage Two Questions 26 to 30 are based on the following passage.We all know that humans are damaging the environment, but what can we do about it? Some people are trying to do their bit to be more environmentally friendly.Local councils in Britain encourage certain aspects of green living, such as recycling paper, tin, plastic and glass.They want to reduce the amount of rubbish going into landfill sites（填埋场），because they are running out of places to dump（倾倒）rubbish.In some areas rubbish for recycling is collected from your doorstep, but in other areas, you have to take it to a special recycling place, such as a bottle bank.Another way of reducing the amount of rubbish you create is to use reusable products instead of disposable ones For example, some people use strong shopping bags or boxes for their groceries instead of plastic carrier bags, or use washable nappies instead of disposables.More people are becoming interested in reducing their carbon footprint—the amount of carbon they use up.They try to reduce their carbon emissions（释放）by cycling, using public transport or an electric car, rather than driving gas-consuming vehicles.Some people choose not to fly for holiday trips because planes are the biggest producers of carbon emissions.You can make‘green’ choices when buying food too.It's best to buy food which was locally grown or produced so that it hasn't been imported by air, or shipped by road from far away.Houses can be environmentally friendly too.It takes less energy to heat a house if it has good insulation（绝缘，隔热）and double glazing(双层玻璃）．You can also create your own energy it you have solar panels or a wind turbine fitted though these can be expensive.You can also save water by using a rain water container for washing the car or watering the garden.It's even possible to use a system where‘grey water’

2005年10月英语

（二）—water which has been through a tap（水龙头）once already, is used to flush（冲洗）toilets.Some new housing projects are being built specifically to be as environmentally friendly as possible.26．The purpose of collecting reusable wastes is to＿． A．save energy consumed in daily life B．reduce the amount of rubbish dumped C．create a new way of green living D．decrease the amount of carbon produced 27．In order to cut down on the carbon emission, more people choose to travel＿． A．by electric car, bicycle or plane B．by private car, bicycle or bus C．by bus, electric car or plane D．by bicycle, bus or electric car 28．It is best for people to buy food＿when making‘green’ choices.A．produced locally B．imported abroad C．transported by road D．grown in green houses 29．As mentioned,‘grey water’ can be used to＿，A．wash the car B．water the garden C．clean the toilet D．dispose of wastes 30．The passage is intended to advise people＿．

A．to make use of rubbish B．to save energy and water C．to recycle reusable products D．to have a green living Passage Three Questions 31 to 35 are based on the following passage.Americans are a very energetic and mobile people, always on the run;rushing from one appointment to another, from a PTA(Parent Teacher Association)meeting to a social planning committee.They have very little time to spend preparing elaborate（精致的，复杂的）everyday meals to be eaten at leisure.In many homes it is rare for the whole family to sit down at supper together.Clubs and committees force them to grab a quick meal rather than a sit-down supper.When they do have the chance to eat at home, often the working housewife prefers to

2005年10月英语

（二）prepare meals that can be quickly heated and consumed.It is no wonder, therefore, that America has become a shelter for fast food consumption.This great transformation occurred after World War Ⅱ when many women began to work full time and spend less time at home with their families.Women, however, wanted to function well in the capacity of homemaker, as well as that of career woman but time became a precious commodity（商品）which had to be carefully used.Therefore, it was necessary to make her life easier at home in the preparation of the family dinner.Simultaneously with women entering the job market there was also a shifting of the focus of home entertainment from the radio to the television.Television became the latest fashion in the 1950s and no one wanted to miss his or her favorite programs.And then, the place for supper shifted from the dining room to the living room.As the customs changed, so did the culture.The immediate solution for this was the invention of the TV dinner.These were frozen meals which were divided into portions of meat and vegetables.They could easily be put into an oven（锅）and prepared within minutes.The tin trays（托盘）in which they were served were conveniently carried into the living room and dinner was consumed in front of a TV set.Cleaning up afterwards was no problem.The tin trays were easily thrown into the garbage.From fast dinners at home the next step was quick eating while on the road.Love for TV was combined with the fascination for the automobile.It is not odd that with the development of the superhighways America saw the beginning of fast food chains.McDonald's paved the way with its variety of burgers and cold drinks soon to be followed by all kinds of other foods.Today dozens of fast-food chain stores can be found along highways, in modern shopping malls and scattered throughout neighborhoods in America.Taco Bell, Pizza Hut, Roy Roger's, Burger King and Wendy's are just a few of the fast-food chains which are now part of American culture． They offer chicken, donuts, tacos and pizza, all quickly produced in great quantities for the masses.These establishments have given shape to the modern lifestyles and diet of the American people.31．In America, the whole family seldom have dinner together at home because＿． A．they have so many social activities

2005年10月英语

（二）B．they have a lot of meetings to attend C．they rush from one appointment to another D．they often move from one place to another 32．America has become a shelter for fast food consumption because A．some women are engaged in entertainments B．few women are able to make meals at home C．women are unwilling to cook for their families D．many women are mostly occupied with work 33．The passage tells that nowadays Americans have their supper＿． A．in the dinning room B．in the living room C．in the grocery stores D．in the fast food chains 34．The word “establishments” in the last paragraph probably means＿． A．fast foods B．TV dinners C．shopping malls D．snack bars 35．The main idea of the passage is about＿.A．women's role in American families B．advantages of fast food for Americans C．modern lifestyles and diet in America D．shift of American home entertainment PART TWO（50 POINTS）

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.2005年10月英语

（二）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。

Passage One Questions 21 to 25 are based on the following passage.How often one hears children wishing they were grown up, and old people wishing they were young again.Each age has its pleasures and its pains, and the happiest person is the one who enjoys what each age gives him without wasting his time in useless regrets.Childhood is a time when there are few responsibilities.If a child has good parents, he is well fed, looked after and loved.It is unlikely that he will ever again in his life be given so much without having to do anything in return.In addition, life is always presenting new things to the child-things that have lost their interest

2005年10月英语

（二）for older people because they are too well known.A child finds pleasure in playing in the rain, or in the snow.His first visit to the seaside is a marvelous adventure．But a child has his pains：he is not so free to do as he wishes as he thinks older people are;he is continually being told what to do and what not to do．Therefore, a child is not happy as he wishes to be.When the young man starts to earn his own living, he becomes free from the discipline of school and parents;but at the same time he is forced to accept．responsibilities.With no one to pay for his food, his clothes, or his room, he has to work if he wants to live comfortably.If he spends most of his time playing about in the way that he used to as a child, he will go hungry.And if he breaks the laws of society as he used to break the laws of his parents, he may get himself into trouble.If, however, he works hard, goes by the law and has good health, he may feel satisfied in seeing himself make steady progress in his job and in building up for himself his own position in society.Old age has always been thought of as the worst age to be;but it is not necessary for the old to be unhappy.With old age comes wisdom and the ability to help others with advice wisely given.The old can have the joy of seeing their children making progress in life;they can watch their grandchildren growing up around them;and, perhaps best of all, they can, if their life has been a useful one, feel the happiness of having come through the battle of life safely and of having reached a time when they can lie back and rest, leaving everything to others.21．The happiest people should be those who A．face up to difficulties in lifeB．hope to be young again C．enjoy life in different agesD．wish to be grown up 22．The word “they” in Line 5，Para.2 refers to＿． A．older peopleB．new thingsC．childrenD．interests 23 ．A child has his pains because＿． A．he can not do whatever he wants to B．he is not allowed to play in rain C．he has a lot of new things to learn D.he can not play at the seaside freely

（二）24．When a child becomes a grown-up, he is supposed to＿． A．live comfortably B．take responsibilities C．make progress in job D．impress the society 25．The best title of the passage might be＿． A．Pains and Ages B．Differences in Ages C．The Best Age to Be D．Happiness and Ages Passage Two Questions 26 to 30 are based on the following passage.We all know that humans are damaging the environment, but what can we do about it? Some people are trying to do their bit to be more environmentally friendly.Local councils in Britain encourage certain aspects of green living, such as recycling paper, tin, plastic and glass.They want to reduce the amount of rubbish going into landfill sites（填埋场），because they are running out of places to dump（倾倒）rubbish.In some areas rubbish for recycling is collected from your doorstep, but in other areas, you have to take it to a special recycling place, such as a bottle bank.Another way of reducing the amount of rubbish you create is to use reusable products instead of disposable ones For example, some people use strong shopping bags or boxes for their groceries instead of plastic carrier bags, or use washable nappies instead of disposables.More people are becoming interested in reducing their carbon footprint—the amount of carbon they use up.They try to reduce their carbon emissions（释放）by cycling, using public transport or an electric car, rather than driving gas-consuming vehicles.Some people choose not to fly for holiday trips because planes are the biggest producers of carbon emissions.You can make‘green’ choices when buying food too.It's best to buy food which was locally grown or produced so that it hasn't been imported by air, or shipped by road from far away.Houses can be environmentally friendly too.It takes less energy to heat a house if it has good insulation（绝缘，隔热）and double glazing(双层玻璃）．You can also create your own energy it you have solar panels or a wind turbine fitted though these

2005年10月英语

（二）can be expensive.You can also save water by using a rain water container for washing the car or watering the garden.It's even possible to use a system where‘grey water’—water which has been through a tap（水龙头）once already, is used to flush（冲洗）toilets.Some new housing projects are being built specifically to be as environmentally friendly as possible.26．The purpose of collecting reusable wastes is to＿． A．save energy consumed in daily life B．reduce the amount of rubbish dumped C．create a new way of green living D．decrease the amount of carbon produced 27．In order to cut down on the carbon emission, more people choose to travel＿． A．by electric car, bicycle or plane B．by private car, bicycle or bus C．by bus, electric car or plane D．by bicycle, bus or electric car 28．It is best for people to buy food＿when making‘green’ choices.A．produced locally B．imported abroad C．transported by road D．grown in green houses 29．As mentioned,‘grey water’ can be used to＿，A．wash the car B．water the garden C．clean the toilet D．dispose of wastes 30．The passage is intended to advise people＿． A．to make use of rubbish B．to save energy and water C．to recycle reusable products D．to have a green living Passage Three Questions 31 to 35 are based on the following passage.Americans are a very energetic and mobile people, always on the run;rushing from one appointment to another, from a PTA(Parent Teacher Association)meeting to a social planning committee.They have very little time to spend preparing elaborate（精致的，复杂的）everyday meals to be eaten at leisure.In many homes it is rare for the whole family to sit down at supper together.Clubs and committees force them to grab a quick meal rather than a sit-down supper.When they do have the chance to

2005年10月英语

（二）eat at home, often the working housewife prefers to prepare meals that can be quickly heated and consumed.It is no wonder, therefore, that America has become a shelter for fast food consumption.This great transformation occurred after World War Ⅱ when many women began to work full time and spend less time at home with their families.Women, however, wanted to function well in the capacity of homemaker, as well as that of career woman but time became a precious commodity（商品）which had to be carefully used.Therefore, it was necessary to make her life easier at home in the preparation of the family dinner.Simultaneously with women entering the job market there was also a shifting of the focus of home entertainment from the radio to the television.Television became the latest fashion in the 1950s and no one wanted to miss his or her favorite programs.And then, the place for supper shifted from the dining room to the living room.As the customs changed, so did the culture.The immediate solution for this was the invention of the TV dinner.These were frozen meals which were divided into portions of meat and vegetables.They could easily be put into an oven（锅）and prepared within minutes.The tin trays（托盘）in which they were served were conveniently carried into the living room and dinner was consumed in front of a TV set.Cleaning up afterwards was no problem.The tin trays were easily thrown into the garbage.From fast dinners at home the next step was quick eating while on the road.Love for TV was combined with the fascination for the automobile.It is not odd that with the development of the superhighways America saw the beginning of fast food chains.McDonald's paved the way with its variety of burgers and cold drinks soon to be followed by all kinds of other foods.Today dozens of fast-food chain stores can be found along highways, in modern shopping malls and scattered throughout neighborhoods in America.Taco Bell, Pizza Hut, Roy Roger's, Burger King and Wendy's are just a few of the fast-food chains which are now part of American culture． They offer chicken, donuts, tacos and pizza, all quickly produced in great quantities for the masses.These establishments have given shape to the modern lifestyles and diet of the American people.31．In America, the whole family seldom have dinner together at home because＿．

2005年10月英语

（二）A．they have so many social activities B．they have a lot of meetings to attend C．they rush from one appointment to another D．they often move from one place to another 32．America has become a shelter for fast food consumption because A．some women are engaged in entertainments B．few women are able to make meals at home C．women are unwilling to cook for their families D．many women are mostly occupied with work 33．The passage tells that nowadays Americans have their supper＿． A．in the dinning room B．in the living room C．in the grocery stores D．in the fast food chains 34．The word “establishments” in the last paragraph probably means＿． A．fast foods B．TV dinners C．shopping malls D．snack bars 35．The main idea of the passage is about＿.A．women's role in American families B．advantages of fast food for Americans C．modern lifestyles and diet in America D．shift of American home entertainment PART TWO（50 POINTS）

有三种书籍拥有者：第一种人有所有的标准套装书和畅销书--但不曾阅读，甚至碰都没有碰过，这种人拥有书籍本身而不是书的内容。第二种人有许多书--一些阅读过，大部分浏览过。但所有这些书仍像买的时候那样干干净净，这种人可能喜欢把书占为己有，但是为了保持书籍的表面而忍痛不去读这本书。

第三种人有一些书或很多--每一本都卷着皮，由于不断的使用而散架了，一页一页的，从头到尾都作满了标记，这种人才是真正拥有书籍。

三、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，并在答题卡上将相应的字母涂黑。

1.Many people think New York is a noisy city.In fact,scientists who study noise say that the average noise level in New York is 72.5 decibels.This is a little louder than normal conversation,which is 65 decibels.The noise level is the result of so many people and cars in the same area.Now even the insides of taxis are noisy.When you get into a taxi,you hear the voice of a wellknown singer,sports reporter,or Broadway actress giving instructions.That’t right.The voice of a famous person tells you what to do.One popular singer gives this message:“Cats have nine lives,but you have only one,so fasten your seat belt!”Other voices say things such as“Don’t forget to collect all your belongings.”（People often leave hats,umbrellas,and bags in taxis.）

There is a good reason for the messages.There are more than 12,000 cabs in New York,and every year taxis get into more than 15,000 accidents.In an accident,people who don’t wear seat belts hit the partition,the glass wall separating the driver and passengers in the taxi.They can hurt their foreheads or break their noses or chins.Every year,about 11,000 people are injured in this way.Many people are annoyed by the voices.Cabdrivers in particular dislike the messages.“I play the messages 12 hours a day.I hear the same voices 60 times a day.It makes me crazy,”says Amir,a 45yearold cabdriver.“But if I don’t play the messages,I get fined ＄100.”A lot of passengers complain,too.2005年10月英语

（二）“It’s too much noise,”says a passenger.“I asked the driver to turn off the message,but he said he can’t.”Other people think the voices are a great idea.One taxi driver says,“People like to hear the famous voices,and they put on their seat belts more often.”And passengers from out of town really like the idea.“Most of the time,taxi drivers are in a bad mood,”says Melanie Benton,who visits New York often on business,“It’s nice to hear a cheerful voice when you get into a cab.”

(1).The sentence“Cats have nine lives,but you have only one”implies that______.(A).human beings have only one life(B).cats live longer than human beings(C).cats will have new lives after they die(D).human beings should value their lives

(2).People who are most likely to be injured in a taxi accident are______.(A).those who wear seat belts(B).those who like messages(C).those who do not wear seat belts(D).those who dislike messages

(3).It can be inferred from the passage that a taxi driver hears the same voices______every day.(A).about 5 times an hour(B).about 6 times an hour(C).about 50 times an hour(D).about 60 times an hour

(4).The cabdrivers play the messages again and again because______.(A).they are willing to do so(B).they do not want to pay a fine(C).the passengers ask them to do so(D).the voice of the messages is cheerful(5).The author of this passage seems to believe that______.(A).New York is the noisiest city in the U.S.(B).messages played by taxi drivers are useless(C).messages in taxis should be voiced by famous people(D).voices from taxis partly caused the high noise level of New York 2.Some people might think that Father’s Day was established as a holiday to help greeting card companies sell more cards.However,when Father’s Day was first suggested in the early 1900s,Father’s Day cards hadn’t been invented yet.The idea of celebrating Father’s Day was actually inspired by Mother’s Day.In 1909,Mother’s Day was just becoming very popular in the United States.One day,Sonora Dodd,of Spokane,Washington,was listening to a church talk about setting aside a day to honor one’s mother.It gave her the idea to propose a day to honor fathers,and in particular,her own father—William Jackson Smart.Mr.Smart had raised Sonora and her five brothers and sisters all by himself after Sonora’s mother died in childbirth.As an adult,Sonora realized the selflessness her father had shown in raising his children as a single parent.2005年10月英语

（二）Her father made all the parental sacrifices.In the daughter’s eyes,her father was a courageous,selfless,and loving man.Mrs.Dodd went to her minister and others about having a church service devoted to fathers on June 5,her father’s birthday.That date was too soon for her minister to prepare a service,so he spoke two weeks later on June 19.It took about a year of working with politicians,religious leaders,businessmen and the local Young Men’s

Christian Association to bring life to her idea of an annual Father’s Day.Eventually all her hard work paid off.On June 19,1910,the first Father’s Day was celebrated in Spokane,Washington.In 1972 President Richard Nixon established a permanent national celebration of Father’s Day to be held on the third Sunday in June.Since then,fathers have been honored and recognized by their families throughout the U.S.on that date.Father’s Day has become a day to not only honor your father,but all men who act as a father figure.Stepfathers,uncles,grandfathers,and adult male friends are all honored on Father’s Day.It’s also another day for greeting card companies and shop owners to celebrate because sales of the most popular gifts for Dad（shirts,ties,and electric shavers）increase considerably.(1).The passage mainly tells about______.(A).Mrs.Dodd’s love for her father

(B).the origin and establishment of Father’s Day

(C).the importance of honoring fathers in the U.S.(D).Mrs.Dodd’s contribution to the government decision(2).Mrs.Dodd loved her father because he______.(A).had a large family(B).was a single parent(C).was a respected minister(D).was courageous,selfless and loving(3).In the United States,the first Father’s Day was celebrated nationwide in______.(A).1972(B).1910(C).1909(D).1900

(4).The author of the passage seems to believe that______.(A).stepfathers should not be honored on Father’s Day(B).Father’s Day has nothing to do with Mother’s Day

(C).Father’s Day started with Mrs.Dodd’s love for her father(D).card companies should not make money on Father’s Day cards(5).Greeting card companies welcome Father’s Day because______.(A).their sale increases(B).it is a national holiday(C).adult male friends are also honored(D).they can sell ties,shirts and electric shavers

3.This green and blue planet spinning in space is under severe stress.If we continue to exploit the planet at the present rate,human and animal life will be threatened.Human pride will be followed by nature’s punishment.To save our earth and ourselves,we need first develop an unbiased understanding of

2005年10月英语

（二）ourselves,nature and life.Everyone understands the meaning of the sentence“Man should respect animal life and nature”.But the exact meaning of man,nature and animal life is not always clear.Many refer to man and animals as if they were essentially different.I consider man to be an animal and only differing in degree and not in kind from other animals.Although I discuss in conventional terms human rights and animal rights as if they were separate,strictly speaking,human rights should be considered a branch of animal rights.The word“nature”is one of the most complex words in the language,but it has developed three main areas of meaning.These are,first,the essential quality and character of something（as in human nature,or the nature of wood）;second,the inherent force which influences the world（as in Mother Nature）;third,the entire world itself.The last can be taken to include or to exclude human beings,as the phrase man and the natural world implies.I consider humans to be an integral part of nature, although they are also the beings most capable of interfering with its processes.Unfortunately a central drive of Western“man”has been to conquer“nature”, as if it were an object separate from him.Hence it has become common to distinguish between what is natural（existing without man’s interference）and artificial（manmade）.In this way, natural growth is opposed to education, civilization to the natural state.For many urban people living permanently among concrete and glass, nature itself has come to mean little more than the countryside.And this notion of opposition is where the seed of potential destruction lies.(1).The word“unbiased”in Line 4 of Para.1 means ______.(A).unbalanced(B).fair(C).partial(D).unreasonable(2).As for the relationship between man and animals, the author holds that ______.(A).man is a kind of animals(B).man is superior to animals(C).man is the same as animals(D).man and animals are essentially different from each other(3).The word“they”in Line 6 of Para.2 refers to ______.(A).human rights(B).animal rights(C).human beings and animals(D).human rights and animal rights

(4).In the author’s opinion, the word“nature”indicates ______.(A).a particular kind of thing(B).the inherent force which influences the world(C).the entire world itself including human beings(D).the essential quality and character of something

(5).The very last sentence of the passage implies that ______.(A).urbanization violates the peace of the countryside(B).the people in the cities cannot enjoy the nature’s beauty

(C).man cannot destroy nature, as they are different from each other

2005年10月英语

（二）(D).if man goes against nature, the world will probably be destroyed

1.Parents can have a great impact on the development of their childrens creativity in art.But first, they have to know how.They may find the following advice interesting and instructive.Encourage free drawing rather than coloring books.Coloring books stop the possibility of selfexpression.A child may just enjoy colorful pictures and never learn how to express himself.As an art teacher says, “Children have a very powerful instinct to draw freely and roughly.Such practice makes them learn language easily.” In fact, a child expresses himself in rough drawing.This is the beginning of literacy and creativity.Also, parents should not teach their kids“how” to draw and they should not make their kids draw realistic pictures to entertain themselves.Experience tells us that such teaching from the parents will discourage children, making them think they cant do it the “right”way.Competition and rewards should also be avoided in the process of artistic creation.A childs natural instinct to create will disappear if he or she thinks about prize while drawing.Parents should be role models for their kids.They should not say things like,“I cant draw a straight line.”Instead, they should learn to say,“I love to create.”This teaches children that the process of creation is more important than the product.If children see their parents drawing, cooking or building creatively, they will do the same.Buy a notebook for your child to use every day.This can be a journal for making up stories, writing ideas and drawing pictures.Even the youngest child can use it to draw freely and roughly, expressing himself.Take your child to places that promote ideas and creativity.Art museums, science centers, libraries and childrens museums all are great places to see other

2005年10月英语

（二）peoples creativity.That will inspire children to make their own creations and inventions.Give children choices and free time.Some of the best ideas come from daydreaming and imagining.In short, parents should allow their kids to have the freedom to invent for themselves.That means not always teaching and commanding.(1).To develop their artistic creativity, children should be encouraged to______.(A).(B).(C).(D).draw freely and roughly learn to draw realistic pictures know how to draw before they start learn to draw good pictures to get prizes 答案：A(2).Parents are encouraged to be role models for their kids because.(A).(B).(C).(D).parents love to create parents can draw straight lines children tend to follow their parents examples children like the product of their parents creativity 答案：C(3).It can be inferred from the passage that in artistic creation.(A).product is more important than process(B).process is more important than product(C).process and product are equally important(D).both process and product are unimportant 答案：B(4).To be inspired by other peoples creativity,children should.(A).write ideas(B).make up stories(C).buy good notebooks(D).visit museums, libraries, and science centers 答案：D(5).The main idea of this passage is that.(A).children should be encouraged to draw freely(B).children should follow their parents examples(C).parents should know how to cultivate their kids creativity(D).most parents teach their kids confidently and instructively 答案：C 2.It is often said that politeness costs nothing.In fact, it seems that a little more politeness could save businesses ￡5 billion every year.Frequently hearing the phrase“thank you” or “well done” means the same to

2005年10月英语

（二）staff as a modest pay rise.Praise and encouragement also makes employees more likely to work hard and stay in their jobs.In this way the business companies can save the cost of finding new employees.A third of 1,000 workers surveyed by a consulting firm said they did not get thanked at all when they did well—and a further third said they were not thanked enough.In both cases, staff said they felt undervalued, meaning they were less likely to exert themselves and were more likely to look for employment elsewhere.The result of the survey shows that there would be around ￡52 billion loss in productivity if the employees felt less appreciated.According to the firm, praising staff has the same positive effect as a 1 per cent pay rise—and works out much cheaper for bosses.Three out of four employees said that regular acknowledgement by their bosses was important to them, but only a quarter said they were actually given as much praise as they felt they needed.The survey found that those in bluecollar and manual jobs were less likely to be given any recognition for doing well.But it seems that they most need such praise.In regional terms, Scottish staff felt most undervalued.Four out of ten workers said they were never thanked and eight out of ten said they would like more praise.However, workers in the NorthEast are less impressed by being praised by the boss, as only 69 per cent said they felt the need to be told “well done” regularly.Older employees and women need the most reassurance, according to psychologist Averil Leimon.She said that words of praise did more than creating a pleasant place to work—they could even promote profits.(1).The survey indicates that politeness could save businesses a huge amount of money every year because.(A).(B).(C).(D).politeness makes employees expect pay rise politeness is less likely to make staff work harder politeness helps employers find proper employees politeness helps employers reduce the cost of staff employment 答案：D(2).Workers doing well but not getting thanks from their bosses will probably.(A).leave for jobs elsewhere(B).work harder to get praise from their bosses(C).exert themselves in their work to get pay rise(D).work harder to get encouragement from their bosses 答案：A(3).According to the survey, of the employees believed they were praised as much as expected.36

(5).It can be concluded from the passage that.(A).bluecollar employees are expecting more pay rise(B).pleasant workplace could promote business profits(C).pay rise is an important motivation for manual workers(D).words of praise could possibly increase business profits 答案：D 3.A centuriesold tradition, illustrated in a modern childrens book, links the sweetness of honey with the joy of learning to read.“The grandpa held a jar of honey so that all the family could see.He then dipped a spoon into it and put some honey on the cover of a small book.The little girl had just turned five.‘Stand up, little one,’ he asked the girl softly.‘I did this for your mother,your uncles, your older brother, and now you!’Then, he handed the book to her.‘Taste!’She touched the honey with her finger and put it into her mouth.‘Whats that taste?’ the grandpa asked.The little girl answered,‘Sweet!’ Then all of the family said in a single voice,‘Yes, and so is knowledge, but knowledge is from the bee that made that sweet honey, you have to go after it through the pages of a book!’The little girl knew that the promise to read was at last hers.Soon she was goingto learn to read.”This is the beginning of a profoundly moving childrens book entitled Thank You,Mr.Falker.In this book, Patricia Polacco writes of her own passion to read, inspired by the honey on the book.It wasnt until fifth grade that she met her beloved teacher who provided the hlep that she needed to finally unlock the magic of the written word.Reading this book,we are in fact acquainted with some enduring traditions of child education that stress the importance of verbal capacity at a very early age.The child learning to read is admitted into a collective memory by way of books.And with the printed words that are active with meaning, the child becomes acquainted with a common past which he or she renews, to a greater or lesser degree, in every reading.Much as the author of the book Thank You, Mr.Falker puts it,“Almost as if it were magic, or as if light poured into her brain, the words and sentences started to take shape on the page as they never had before„And she understood the whole thing„Then she went into the living room and found the book on a shelf, the very book that her grandpa had shown her so many years ago.She spooned honey on the cover and tasted the sweetness„Then she held the book, honey and all, close to her chest.She could feel tears roll down her cheeks, but they werent tears of sadness—she was happy, so very happy.”

Fill in each blank in the passage with the most likely answer.(15 points)

From childhood to old age, we all use language as a means of broadening our knowledge of ourselves and the world about us.When humans first 16 , they were like newborn children, unable to use this 17 tool.Yet once language developed, the possibilities for human kinds future 18 and cultural growth increased.Many linguists(语言学家)believe that evolution is 19 for our ability to produce and use language.They 20 that our highly evolved brain provides us 21 an innate language ability not found in lower 22.Proponents(建议者)of this innateness theory say that our 23 for language is inborn, but that language itself develops gradually, 24 a function of the growth of the brain during childhood.Therefore there are critical biological times for language development.Current 25 of innateness theory are mixed, however, evidence supporting the existence of some innate abilities is undeniable.26 , more and more schools are discovering that foreign languages are best taught in 27 grades.Young children often can learn several languages by being 28.to them, while adults have a much harder time learning another language once the rules of their first language have become firmly fixed.29 some aspects of language are undeniably innate, language does not develop automatically in a vacuum.Children who have been 30 from other human beings do not possess language.This demonstrates that interaction with other human beings is necessary for proper language development.Some linguists believe that this is even more basic to human language acquisition than any innate capacities.These theorists view language as imitative, learned behavior.In other words, children learn language from their parents by imitating them.Parents gradually shape their child’s language skills by positively reinforcing precise imitations and negatively reinforcing imprecise ones.16.A.generated B.evolved C.born D.originated 17.A.valuable B.appropriate C.convenient D.favorite 18.A.attainments B.feasibility C.entertainments D.evolution 19.A.essential B.available C.reliable D.responsible 20.A.confirm B.inform C.claim D.convince 21.A.for B.from C.of D.with 22.A.organizations B.organisms C.humans D.children 23.A.potential B.performance C.preference D.passion 24.A.as B.just as C.like D.unlike 25.A reviews B.reference C.reaction D.recommendation 26.A.In a word B.In a sense C.Indeed D.In other words 2 7.A.various B.different C.the higher D.the lower 28.A.revealed B.exposed C.engaged D.involved 29.A.Although B.Whether C.Since D.When 30.A.distinguished B.different C.protected D.isolated Ⅲ．难句释义。从A、B、C、D四个选项中，选择一个正确答案，并填在答题纸相应的位置上。错选、多选或未选均无分。（本大题共10小题，每小题1分，共10分）

Passage 1

Attention to detail is something everyone can and should do especially in a tight job market.Bob Crossley, a human-resources expert notices this in the job applications that come cross his desk every day.“It’s amazing how many candidates eliminate themselves,” he says.“Resumes(简历)arrive with stains.While other candidates don’t bother to spell the company’s things at the cost of something larger they work toward.“To keep from losing the forest for the trees,” says Charles Garfield, associate professor at the University of California, San Francisco, “we must constantly ask ourselves how the details we’re working on fit into the larger picture.If they don’t fit well, we should drop them and move to something else.” We can’t always be perfectionists.Garfield compares this process to his work as a computer scientist at NASA.“The Apollo II moon launch was slightly off-course 90 percent of the time,” says Garfield.“But a successful landing was still likely because we knew the exact coordinates(相配之物)of our goal.This allowed us to make adjustments as necessary.” Knowing where we want to go helps us judge the importance of every task we undertake.Too often we believe what accounts for others’ success is some special secret or a lucky break(机遇).But rarely is success so mysterious.Again and again, we see that by doing little things within our grasp well, large rewards follow.41.According to the passage, some job applicants were rejected ___________.A.because of their carelessness as shown in their failure to present a clean copy of a resume B.because of their inadequate education as shown in their poor spelling in writing a resume C.because they failed to give a detailed description of their background in their Applications D.because they eliminated their names from the applicants list themselves 42.The word “perfectionists” refers to those who ___________.A.demand others to get everything absolutely right B.know how to adjust their goals according to the circumstances C.pay too much attention to details only to lose their major objectives D.are capable of achieving perfect results in whatever they do 43.Which of the following is the author’s advice to the reader?

A.Although too much attention to details may be costly, they should not be overlooked.B.Don’t forget details when drawing pictures.C.Be aware of the importance of a task before undertaking it.D.Careless applicants are not to be trusted.44.The example of the Apollo II moon launch is given to illustrate that ___________.A.minor mistakes can be ignored in achieving major objectives B.failure is the mother of success C.adjustments are the key to the successful completion of any work D.keeping one’s goal in mind helps in deciding which details can be overlooked 45.The best title for this passage would be ___________.A.Don’t Be a Perfectionist B.Importance of Adjustments C.Details and Major Objectives D.Hard Work Plus Good Luck Passage 2 Taste is such a subjective matter that we don’t usually conduct preference tests for food.The most you can say about anyone’s preference, is that it’s one person’s opinion.But because the two big cola(可口饮料)companies—Coca-Cola and Pepsi Cola are marketed so aggressively, we’ve wondered how big a role taste preference actually plays in brand loyalty.We set up a taste test that challenged people who identified themselves as either Coca-Cola or Pepsi fans: Find your brand in a blind tasting.We invited staff volunteers who had a strong liking for either Coca-Cola Classic(传统型)or Pepsi, Diet(低糖的)Coke, or Diet Pepsi.These were people who thought they’d have no trouble telling their brand from the other brand.We eventually located 19 regular cola drinkers and 27 diet cola drinkers.Then we fed them four unidentified samples of cola one at a time, regular colas for the one group, diet versions for the other.We asked them to tell us whether each sample was Coke or Pepsi;then we analyzed the records statistically to compare the participants’ choices with what mere guess-work could have accomplished.Getting all four samples right was a tough test, but not too tough, we thought, for people who believed they could recognize their brand.In the end, only 7 out of 19 regular cola drinkers correctly identified their brand of choice in all four trials.The diet-cola drinkers did a little worse-only 7 to 27 identified all four samples correctly.While both groups did better than chance would predict, nearly half the participants in each group made the wrong choice two or more times.Two people got all four samples wrong.Overall, half the participants did about as well on the last round of tasting as on the first, so fatigue, or taste burnout was not a factor.Our preference test results suggest

that only a few Pepsi participants and Coke fans may really be able to tell their favorite brand by taste and price.46.According to the passage the preference test was conducted in order to___________.A.find out the role taste preference plays in a person’s drinking B.reveal which cola is more to the liking of the drinkers

C.show that a person’s opinion about taste is mere guess-work D.compare the ability of the participants in choosing their drinks 47.The statistics recorded in the preference tests show ____________.A.Coca-Cola and Pepsi are people’s two most favorite drinks

B.there is not much difference in taste between Coca-Cola and Pepsi C.few people had trouble telling Coca-Cola from Pepsi D.people’s tastes differ from one another

48.It is implied in the first paragraph that ___________.A.the purpose of taste tests is to promote the sale of colas

B.the improvement of quality is the chief concern of the two cola companies C.the competition between the two colas is very strong D.blind tasting is necessary for identifying fans

49.The word “burnout” here refers to the state of___________.A.being seriously burnt in the skin B.being unable to bum for lack of fuel C.being badly damaged by fire

D.being unable to function because of excessive use

50.The author’s purpose in writing this passage is to ___________.A.show that taste preference is highly subjective

B.argue that taste testing is an important marketing strategy

C.emphasize that taste and price are closely related to each other

D.recommend that blind tasting be introduced in the quality control of colas V.词形转换。将括号里提供的词转换成适当的词形填入答题纸上相应的位置。（本大题共10小题，每小题1分，共10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

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

三、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 want 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

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．”

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

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 答案：B(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

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(1).According to the passage，working adults find it difficult to start their students with their college life.Another helpful aspect of this college education because.interactive,multimedia site is its audio capacity：all texts can be read to the(A).they are too busy and academically unprepared visitor.This particular feature is especially helpful for people with visual(B).they have been out of school for quite a long time problems or learning disabilities.(C).tutoring resources in college are unavailable to them The cycle of learning runs from cradle to grave，and World Education works to break(D).they do not have enough money for further education down barriers to education for people of all ages，all over the world.答案：A

七、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。

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。
