Part I Reading Comprehension (共 40分)
Passage 1
Under proper conditions, sound waves will be reflected from a hillside or other such obstruction. Sound travels at the rate of about one-fifth of a mile per second. If the hill is eleven hundred feet away, it takes two seconds for the sound to travel to the hill and back. Thus, by timing the interval between a sound and its reflection (the echo), you can estimate the distance to an obstruction.
During World WarⅡ the British used a practical application of this principle to detect German planes on their
Germans to be lying in wait at the right time and never to be surprised. It was radio waves more than anything else that won the Battle of Britain.
Since the radio waves were used to tell the direction in which to send the RAF planes and the distance to send them (their range of flight, in other words). The device was called radio directing and ranging device, and from the initials the word radar was coined.
1. Sound waves reflected from a hill can be used to estimate the
A. height of the hill B. speed of sound
C. distance to the hill D. intensity of sound
2. Practical application of this principle resulted in .
A. new electronic instruments for planes
B. a radio directing and ranging device
C. new radio sets for RAF bombers
D. an electronic detecting device
3. Radar enables the English to
A. detect German planes on their way to London
B. direct the outnumbered RAF planes effectively
C. confuse German bomber pilots
D. both A and B
4. It can be inferred from the passage that
A. light waves could be used in a device similar to radar
B. radar was a practice of a well-known principle
C. radar greatly increased the effectiveness of the Royal Air Force
D. sound waves are reflected from a hillside under all conditions
5. The author of the passage probably intended to explain
A. exactly how radar works
B. why the British used radio waves in their device
C. how radar (work and device) came to be
D. how radar helped the British win the Battle of Britain
Passage 2
In general, the ancient Romans were a practical people. They cared less about philosophy and pure mathematics than did the Greeks. The Romans were the best of the ancient engineers and architects. They were brilliant students
of Greek geometry and trigonometry (三角学 ), and they applied their knowledge to the construction of the bridges, roads, aqueducts(渠道 ),and public buildings.
They knew about the melting of iron ore, but they used the iron they produced mainly for spears, swords, and shields, rather than for building construction.
There were two reasons for the Roman neglect of philosophy and pure mathematics. First, they were apparently too busy conquering nearby nations and forming them into a rapidly growing empire to waste much time on abstract thinking. Secondly, they were handicapped by the rigidity of their numerical system. (Try to multiply XI by LVII or to divide CXLIII by IX; it simply cannot be done with pencil and paper.) The Romans did all of the arithmetic on an abacus, the ancient counterpart of the modern computing machine. Their number system discouraged the study of pure mathematics.
6. The author calls the Romans
A. cared little about philosophy
B. applied their knowledge to construction
C. saw the necessity for developing theoretical science
D. studied the past and learned from it
7. The ancient Romans did not concern themselves with
A. theoretical or abstract thought B. applied mathematics
C. studying D. either A or C
8. In construction, the Romans made extensive use of
A. iron ore B. geometry and trigonometry
C. Greek mathematics thought D. both B and C
9. Many Roman inventions were based on Greek weapons because the
A. Greeks had superior weapons
B. Romans were involved in frequent wars
C. Romans were familiar with many types of weapons
D. Greeks proved themselves inspired inventors
10. The author of this passage probably wanted to explain why
A. he considered the Romans a practical people
B. Romans architects and engineers were the best in ancient times
C. theoretical thinking is necessary for the growth of a nation
D. the Romans contributed little to philosophical thought
Passage 3
Professor Barry Wellman of the University of Toronto in Canada has invented a term to describe the way many North Americans interact these days. The term is
Here is what professor Wellman means. Before the invention of the internet and email, our social networks involved live interactions with relatives, neighbors, and colleagues at work. Some of the interaction was by phone, but it was still voice to voice, person to person, in real time.
A recent research study by the Pew Internet and American Life Project showed that for a lot of people, electronic interaction through the computer has replaced this person to person interaction. However, a lot of people interviewed for the Pew study say that’ s a good thing, why?
with more real people than the expected helpful people who can give advice on careers, medical problems, raising children, and choosing a school or college. About 60 million Americans told Pew that the Internet plays an important role in helping them make major life decisions.
Thanks to the computer,
11. The Pew study was conducted in ______.
A. the United States B. Canada C. the U.S. and Canada D. Europe
12. In this article, a network is a group of connected ______.
A. radio or TV station B. people C. computers D. roads

第 I 卷(共 100分)
Part I Reading Comprehension (共 40分) (18分)
Passage one(12分钟)
Under proper conditions, sound waves will be reflected from a hillside or other such obstruction. Sound travels at the rate of about one-fifth of mile per second. If the hill is eleven hundred feet away, it takes two seconds for the sound to travel o the hill and back. Thus, by timing the interval between a sound and its reflection (the echo), you can estimate the distance to an obstruction.
During word war 2 the British used a practical application of this principle to detect German planes
outnumbered Royal Air Force (RAF) always seemed to the puzzled Germans to be lying in wait at the right time and never to be surprised. It was radio echoes more than anything else that won the Battle of Britain.
Since the radio waves were used to tell the direction in which to send the RAF planes and the distance to send them (their range of flight, in other words), the device was called radio directing and ranging, and from the initials the word radar was coined.
A. heigt of the hill B. speed of sound
C. distance to the hill D. intensite of sound
A. New electronic instruments for planes
B. A radio directing and ranging device
C. New radio sets for RAF bombers
D. An electronic detecting device
A. Detect German planes on their way to London
B. Direct the outnumbered RAF planes effectively
C. Confuse German bomber pilots
D. Both A and B
1
A. Light waves could be used in a device similar to radar
B. Radar was a practical application of a well-known principle
C. Radar greatly increased the effectiveness of the Royal Air Force
D. Sound waves are reflected from a hillside under all conditions
5. The author of this passage probably intended to explain
A. Exactly how radar works
B. Why the British used radio waves in their device
C. How radar (work and device) came to be
D. How radar helped the British win the Battle of Britain
Passage Two accident (意外,事件)
In general, the ancientRomans were a practical people. They cared less about philosophy and pure mathematics than did the Greeks. The Romans were the best of the ancient engineers and architects. They were brilliant students of Greek geometry and trigonometry (三角学 ) , and they applied their knowledge to the construction of fine bridges, roads, aqueducts (渠道 ) , and public buildings.
They knew about the smelting of ironore, but they used the iron they produced mainly for spears, swords, and shields, rather than for building construction.
While the Romans accomplished practical wonders, they did very little theoretical scientific thinking.
There are two reasons for the Romans neglect of philosophy and pure mathematics. First, they were apparently too busy conquering nearby nations and forming them into a rapidly growing empire to waste time on abstract thinking. Secondly, they were handicapped (妨碍 ) by the rigidity of their numerical system. (Try to multiply XI by LVII or to divide CXLIII by IX; it simply cannot be done with pencil and paper.) The Romans did all of their arithmetic on an abacus, the ancient counterpart of the modern computing machine. Their number system discouraged the study of pure mathematics.
6. The author calls the Romans “practical” because they
A. Cared little about philosophy
B. Applied their knowledge to construction
C. Saw the necessity for developing theoretical science
D. Studied the past and learned from it
7.The ancient Romans did not concern themselves with
2
A. Theoretical or abstract thought B. applied mathematics
C. Studying D. either A or C

Passage Three
Professor Barry Wellman if University of Toronto in Canada has invented a term to describe the way many North Americans interacts these days. The term to have opposite meanings. How can we be individuals and be networked at the same time? You need other people for networks.
Here is what Professor Wellman means. Before the invention of the Internet and e-mail, our social networks involved live interactions with relatives, neighbors, and colleagues at work. Some of the interaction was by phone, but it was still voice, person to person, in real time.
A recent research study by the Pew Internet and Americans Life Project showed that for a lot of people, electronic interaction through the computer has replaced this person -to-person interaction. However, a lot of people interviewed for the Pew study say that’s a good thing. Why?
The Internet connects us with MORE real people than expected-helpful-people who can give advice on careers, medical problems, raising children, and choosing a school or college. About 60 million American told Pew that the Internet plays an important role in helping them major life decisions.

Part I Reading Comprehension (共 20小题,每小题 2分,共 40分)
Directions: In this part there are four passages. Each passage is followed by four comprehension questions. Read the passage and answer the questions. Then mark your answer on the Answer Sheet. Passage 1
Questions 1 to 5 are based on the following passage:
Human feelings are affected by color unconsciously. Manufactures have discovered by trial and error that sugar sells badly in green wrappings, that blue foods are considered by consumers as tasteless, and that cosmetics should never be packaged in brown 。 These discoveries have grown into a whole discipline of color psychology. Some of our preferences are clearly psychological. Dark blue is the color of the night sky and therefore associated with calm, while yellow is a key color in association with energy. For primitive men, activity during the day time meant hunting and attacking, in which he soon saw red, the color of blood and hunting and fire. So it was natural that green, the complementary color to red, should be associated with passive defense. Experiments have shown that colors also have a direct psychological effect. People when exposed to bright red, show an increase in breathing rate, heart beat and blood pressure. Red is exciting. Similar
exposure to pure have exactly the opposite effect, because it is a calming color. Because red has an implication of excitement, it is chosen as the signal for danger. Some analyses show that a vivid yellow can produce a more basic state of alarm. So fire engines and ambulances in some advanced countries are now rushing around in bright yellow colors that stop traffic dead.
1、 If people are exposed to red, which of the following statements does NOT happen? A 、 They feel afraid. B 、 They breathe faster.
C 、 Their blood pressure rise. D 、 Their hearts heat faster.
2、 Manufacturers have discovered the secret of colors in making
A 、 by experimenting with different colors
B 、 by developing the discipline of color psychology
C 、 by trying not to make mistakes
D 、 by accumulating their various experiences
3、 Which of the following is NOT true?
A 、 Our feelings about certain colors are purely psychological.
B 、 Food should never be packaged in brown.
C 、 Sugar sells badly in green wrappings.
D 、 Color probably has an effect on us which we are not conscious of.
4、 Our preferences for certain colors are
A 、 dependent on our character B 、 linked with the primitive men C 、 associated with psychology D 、 associated with the time of the day
5、 The passage is about .
A 、 color and traffic accidents
B 、 color and manufacturers
C 、 which color might influence human feelings
D 、 why color affects human emotions and behavior
Passage 2
Questions 6 to 10 are based on the following passage:
Exchange a glance with someone, and then look away. Do you realize that you have
made a statement? Hold the glance for a second longer, and you have a different statement. Hold it for 3 seconds, and the meaning has changed again. For very social situation, there is a permissible time that you can hold a person ’ s gaze without being intimate, rude, or aggressive. If you are on an elevator, what gaze-time are you permitted? To answer this question, consider what you typically do. You very likely give other passengers a quick glance to size them up (打量 ) and to assure them that you mean no threat. Since being close to another person signals the possibility of interaction, you need to emit a signal telling others you want to be left alone. So you cut off eye contact, which sociologist Erving Goffman (1963) calls “ a dimming of the lights” . You look down at the floor, at the indicator lights, anywhere but into another passenger ’ s eyes. Should you bream the rule against staring at a stranger on an elevator, you will make the other person exceedingly uncomfortable, and you are likely to feel a bit strange yourself.
If you hold eye contract for more than 3 seconds, what are you telling another person? Much depends on the person and the situation. For instance a man and a woman communicate interest in this manner. They typically gaze at each other for about 3 seconds at a time, and then drop their eyes down for 3 seconds, before letting their eyes meet again. But if one man gives another man a 3-second-plus stare, he signals— “ I know you, ” “ I am interested in you,” or “ You look peculiar and I am curious about you.” This type of stare often produces hostile feelings.
6、 It can be inferred from the first paragraph that
A 、 every glance has its significance
B 、 staring at a person is an expression of interest
C 、 a gaze longer than 3 seconds is unacceptable
D 、 a glance conveys more meaning than words
7、 If you want to be left alone on an elevator, the best thing to do is
A 、 to look into another passenger’ s eyes
B 、 to avoid eye contact with other passengers
C 、 to signal you are not a threat to anyone
D 、 to keep a distance from other passengers
8、 By “ a dimming of the lights ” (Lines 9~10, Para. 1), Erving Goffman means
“ ” .
A 、 closing one’ s eyes B 、 turning off the lights
C 、 ceasing to glance at others B 、 reducing gaze-time to the minimum
9、 If one is looked at by a stranger for too long, he tends to feel
A 、 depressed B 、 curious C 、 uneasy D 、 amused
10、 The passage mainly discusses .
A 、 the limitation of eye contact
B 、 the exchange of ides through eye contact
C 、 proper behavior in various situations
D 、 the role of eye contact in interpersonal communication
Passage 3
Questions 11 to 15 are based on the following passage:
Cyclo-cross is a cross-country bicycle racing in open and usually quite rough country with riders often forced to dismount and carry their bicycles.
The spot, originated early in the 20th century in France, was current in the 1920s, but became prominent in the 1950s (the British Cyclo-Cross Association was founded in 1954).

World championships were initiated in 1925; by 1950 these were recognized by the Union Cyclist International (International Cyclists’ Union). After 1967 amateur and professional classes were officially separated in competition. The 24-kilometer cyclo-cross course, often involving laps, is usually completed in 60 minutes. A course typically includes obstacles such as ditches, mud, fallen trees, streams, flight of stairs, fences, and gates; artificial hurdles are added to insufficiently challenging natural courses. Cyclo-cross races are usually held from September to March, adding winter weather hazards to the challenge.
There is a massed start with there field assembling not more than two abreast. Helpers are often stationed around the course with spare bicycles in case the original machine encounters mechanical difficulties or becomes too weighted down by picked up

C 、 The riders start simultaneously on the starting line.
D 、 The riders are allowed to change their machines.
13、 Cyclo-cross became widely known

C 、 Before 1967, amateur and professional classes had never been separated in competition.

Passage 4
(非英语类学生必做 )
Questions 16 to 20 are based on the following passage:
In the second half of each year, many powerful storms are born in the tropical Atlantic and Caribbean seas. Of these, only about half a dozen generate the strong, circling winds of 75 miles per hour or more that give them hurricane status, and several usually make
their way to the coast. There they cause millions of dollars of damage, and bring death to large numbers of people.
The great storms that hit the coast start as innocent circling disturbances hundreds— even thousands — of miles out to sea. They travel aimlessly over water warmed by the trade winds. When conditions are just right, warm moist air flows in at the bottom of such a disturbance, moves upward through it and comes out at the top. In the process, the moisture in this warm air produces rain, and with it the heat is converted to energy in the form of strong winds. As the heat increases, the young hurricane begins to swirl in a counterclockwise motion.
The average life of hurricane is only about nine days, but it contains almost more power than we can imagine. The energy in the heat released by a hurricane’ s rainfall in a single day would satisfy the entire electrical needs of the United States for more than six months. Water, not wind, in the main source of death and destruction in a hurricane. A typical hurricane bring 6 to 12 mountains of water moving toward the low-pressure center. The water level rises as much as 15 feet above normal as it moves toward shore.
16、 When is an ordinary tropical storm considered to be a hurricane?
A 、 When it begins in the Atlantic and Caribbean seas.
B 、 When it hits the coastline.
C 、 When its winds reach 75 miles per hour or even more.
D 、 When the circling winds bring damages.
17、 What is the worst thing about hurricanes?

Questions 16 to 20 are based on the following passage:
In cities with rent control, the city government sets the maximum rent that a landlord can charge for an apartment. Supporters of rent control argue that it protects people who are living in apartment. Their rent cannot increase; therefore, they are not in danger of losing their homes. However, the critics say that after a long time, rent control may have negative effects. Landlords know that they cannot increase their profits. Therefore, they invest in other businesses where they can increase their profits. They do not invest in new building which would also be rent controlled. As a result, new apartments are not built. Many people who need apartments cannot find any. According to the critics, the end result of rent control is a shortage of apartments cannot find any. According to the critics, the end result of rent control is a shortage of apartments in the city.
Some theorists argue that the minimum wage law can cause problem in the same way. The federal government sets the minimum that an employer must pay workers. The minimum helps mechanical difficulties or becomes too weighted down by mud picked up to the course people who generally look for unskilled, low-paying jobs. However, if the minimum is high, employers may hire fewer workers. They will replace workers with machinery. The price, which is the wage that employers must pay, increases. Therefore, other things being equal, the number of workers that employers want decreases. Thus, critics claim, an increase in the minimum wage may cause unemployment. Some poor people may find themselves without jobs instead of with jobs at the minimum wage. Supporters of the minimum wage say that it helps people keep their dignity. Because of the law, workers cannot sell their services for less than the minimum. Furthermore, employers cannot force workers to accept jobs at unfair wages.
Economic theory predicts the results of economic decisions such as decisions about farm production, rent control, and the minimum wage. The predictions may be correct only if “ other things are equal” . Economists do not agree on some of the predictions. They also do not agree on the value of different decisions. Some economists support a particular decision while others criticize it. Economists do agree, however, that there are no simple answers to economic questions.

Passage Four
Questions 16 to 20 are based on the following passage.
Drunken driving—sometimes called America’s socially accepted form of murder—has become a national epidemic. Every hour of every day about three Americans on average
are killed by drunken drivers, adding up to an incredible 250,000 over the past decade.
Heavy drinking used to be an acceptable part of the American macho (男子汉) image and judges were lenient in most courts, but the drunken slaughter has recently caused so
many well-publicized tragedies, especially involving young children, that public opinion is
no longer so tolerant.
Twenty states have raised the legal drinking age to 21, reversing a trend in the 1960s to reduce it to 18. After New Jersey lowered it to 18, the number of people killed by 18-20-year-old drivers more than doubled, so the state recently upped it back to 21.
Reformers, however, fear raising the drinking age will have little effect unless accompanied by educational programs to help young people to develop “responsible attitudes” about drinking and teach then to resist peer pressure to drink.
Though new laws have led to increased arrests and tests and, in many areas already, to a marked decline in fatalities. Some states are also penalizing bars for serving customers too many drinks. A tavern (酒栈) in Massachusetts was fined for serving six or
more brandies to a customer who was “obviously intoxicated” and later drove off the road,
killing a nine-year-old boy.
As the fatalities continue to occur daily in every state, some Americans are even beginning to speak well of the 13 years of national prohibition of alcohol that began in 1919, which President Hoover called the “noble experiment”. They forget that legal
prohibition didn’t stop drinking, but encouraged political corruption and organized crime. As with the booming drug trade, there is no easy solution.
16、Drunken driving has become a serious problem in America because .
A. most drunken drivers drive their cars at top speed
B. most drivers regard heavy drinking as part of the American macho image
C. fatalities caused by drunken driving have been greatly increased
D. about 25,000 people on average are killed every year by drunken drivers
17. Why have the public changed their opinion about drunken driving?
A. Because detailed statistics on drunken slaughter are now available.
B. Because they are no longer tolerant of the drunken slaughter.
C. Because judges usually give more severe sentences to drunken drivers.
D. Because drunken drivers are more conscious of their image.
18. The statistics issued in New Jersey suggested that .
A. many drunken drivers were not of legal age
B. many young people were in no way qualified drivers
C. raising the legal drinking age would have little effect on the reduction of tragedies
D. raising the legal drinking age would reduce the fatalities caused by drunken drivers
19. Laws recently introduced in some states have .
A. reduced the number of convictions
B. resulted in fewer fatalities of traffic accidents
C. prevented bars from serving drunken drivers
D. specified the amount drivers can drink
