第4篇 1 b ddcbc 第5篇 短文大意:本文主要介绍了在动物界广泛存在的社会性行为——遗传模仿

行为。它主要指两只或两只以上动物用带有一定的模仿和合作的方式进行

同样的行为。在脊椎动物中，这一行为表现得最广泛，尤其见于那些主要

生活在空中，水中或平原上的昼行性动物。而在鸟类中，遗传模仿行为几

乎已成定律，它的主要功能是提防敌人。在哺乳动物中，这一行为少见于

啮齿类，而常见于大型有蹄类、例如绵羊。在食肉类飞禽中，这一行为有

另一功能——合作捕捉较大体型的猎物。而象狼之类的动物用它来防御大

型敌人如熊的侵犯。而遗传模仿行为在大多数灵长类动物身上得到高度发

展。在这里它的主要功能是提防敌人。

2.D 【参考译文】根据短文，鸟类遗传模仿行为的主要功能是____。【试题分析】此题考查学生辨认某些事实的能力。【详细解答】根据短文，鸟类遗传模仿行为的主要功能是警惕掠食者。如果选A)保护鸟巢不受掠食者侵扰。主次颠倒，不合题意。主要功能是保护鸟类本身，而不是鸟巢。如果选B)相互对视，allelommelic behavior更没有这种功能，离题太远。如果选C)放置被捕食的动物，文不对题，极不可取。

3.D 【参考译文】根据短文，如果人为地把啮齿类动物聚集在一起，它们会产生什么样的行为,【试题分析】此题考查学生认识文章某些细节的能力。【详细解答】此答案可在文章的第三段中找到。啮齿动物的遗传模仿行为很少见，如果人为地把它们聚在一起，它们的行为也不会保持一致。这说明，啮齿动物没有这种功能，所以D)为正确答案。A)它们的这种行为增加，显然和题意不符。B)它们之间继续保持合作状态。事实上是:they do not conform in their movement(行动不能保持一致)。C)它们变得好斗，并且相互攻击。这种情况是捏造的，不存在的。

4.C 【参考译文】作者暗示遗传性模仿行为大多发生____的动物身上。【试题分析】此题考查学生领会作者意图的能力。【详细解答】解答此题须先找到有关事实，然后认真领会方可找到答案。作者暗示遗传模仿行为大多发生在群体活动的动物身上。在文章第三段最后一句话中可以找到答案:On the other hand, such

behavior is a major system among large hoofed mammals such as sheep.(另一方面，这种行为在长蹄的的大型哺乳动物如羊群等身上最为普遍。)羊群以群体活动为主，这种行为比其它哺乳动物更普遍，因此C为正确答案。A)掠食其它动物;B)不如自己的敌人聪明;D)有一个支配视力的感官。A)、B)和D)三项均不合题意。文中提到过猛禽在猎取prey animals(被掠食者)时也有这种allelomimetic behavior的功能，但发生在它们身上的可能性远没有发生在被掠食动物身上的可能性大。

5.B 【参考译文】下面各情况中，哪一种清楚地说明是一个遗传模仿的例子,【试题分析】此题考查根据内容进行推测的能力。【详细解答】在所给四个选择中B)能够说明问题，因为牲畜受到大火的威胁时，就产生一种自我保护本能，采取保护自己的行动，逃离火源，所以B)为正确答案。A)掠食肉类动物的熊，不合题意。熊是不是掠食食肉动物的动物，我们暂且不管它，但有一点是肯定的:熊不是allelomimetic之类的动物。C)在跑道上赛跑的马。马是驯服的动物，也没有allelomimetic功能。D)和警察一起工作的狗，狗是人类忠实朋友，和警察的合作非常密切，更不会有这种功能。

6.C 【参考译文】下面几种人哪一种有可能表现出最大的遗传模仿行为,【试题分析】此题考查学生根据内容进行合理推测的能力。【详细解答】有些动物包括人类在受到干扰或攻击时有一种自我保护意识和遗传模仿行为。根据文章内容，可以推断遗传模仿行为在动物中常用作自我保护。这样，我们就可进一步推测在人类中也类似。现在分析四个选项。A项参加考试的学生，B项参加比赛的运动员，C项侦察敌人的侦察兵，D项等待交通指标灯变换的司机。可看出，侦察兵在执行任务时，容易受到敌人的攻击，自我保护意识强，因而也最可能具有遗传模仿行为，所以C项最佳。

第5篇 ABBDC

最新心理研究发现 出生月份决定运气好坏一项对4万多人的研究发现，人生来好运的奥秘就是出生在夏季。5月份出生的婴儿很可能一生好运连连。

英国和瑞典科学家们通过研究指出，出生的月份对于一个人乐观和自我感觉幸运的程度都会产生深远的影响。

5月是最幸运的出生月份，50,5月份出生的人都认为自己很幸运，而10月是最不幸的出生月份，在10月份出生的人中，只有43%认为自己的运气不错。

这些研究结果进一步证明，幸运并非完全出于偶然，而是会受到个人性格的影响。

其他的研究显示，人们认为自己是否幸运并不主要取决于客观的成功，更多的在于自己对生活的态度是“半瓶水满”还是“半瓶水空”。

此项研究的负责人理查德?威斯曼教授说:“我们的研究显示，有些事情会影响人们如何去感知幸运。我的假设是，人们通过乐观等性格特点来创造自己的幸运。幸运只是一种心理现象，而不是难以捉摸的偶然之物。”

威斯曼教授说，春夏出生的人比秋冬出生的人更容易觉得自己幸运，这种情况可能有两种解释。

“一种是用医学和心理学理论来解释，人出生时的温度可能会影响大脑，尤其是神经传导化学物质的发育，”他说，“这种情况和你在抑郁症研究文献中所看到的一样:据统计，冬天出生的人更容易患抑郁症，我们在调查中看到的可能也是同样的效果。”

“另一种较大的可能是，母婴的交流受到季节因素的影响。冬季，婴儿出生后，母亲更有可能患产后抑郁症，而这些母亲与婴儿的交流方式就不一样了，可能是这种因素影响了孩子日后的心理特征。”

第六篇 DBCDA

对超人十分热衷的人们都知道这位英雄在平时装扮成克拉克?肯特———一位

举止温和工作勤奋的《全球日报》的记者。当需要肯特施展超人的本领时，他就会钻进一个照相亭，在转眼间的旋转中将装束变成超人所穿的紧身衣和红斗篷，而旋转是为了不让旁观者看清是怎么变的。

漫画家托尼?奥特把超人的这一惯常做法倒了过来，用以取笑加州新州长——56 岁的肌肉发达的阿诺德?施瓦辛格。10月7日原州长戴维斯下台了，而由健美冠军、奥地利移民和功夫电影明星取而代之。转瞬间小阿诺德从一位电影中的超级英雄变成了一个州的领导人———该州正被复杂的经济问题、大量失业以及州议会的政治僵局所困扰。

加州人民1966年曾经选举了电影演员里根作为州长，那么这次选施瓦辛格为什么显得很奇怪呢,首先，当时里根涉足政治已经很长时间，演戏已不是主业，为当州长所作的准备比施瓦辛格要多得多。第二，里根在那些住在郊区家道殷实的共和党保守派与商界领导人当中很受欢迎，换句话说，他有着多年来打造的稳固的政治基础。而施瓦辛格的情况就不同了，他是共和党温和派的代表，而这一派有时被形容为濒危物种。最后，1966年时加州的经济状况很好，议会想提高税收没有任何阻力。但是到了1978年，加州人投票通过了限制财产税的法案，而若要征收任何新的税，必须有65%以上的州议员同意才行;此后，他们还以新的方式束缚住了议员们的手脚。这就是2003年的加州与以往的不同之处。

奥特的这幅漫画表现了像超人似的施瓦辛格从空中俯冲下来变成了肯特，当他意识到自己那些怪诞的力量如今已没有用时就大喊一声“Script～(脚本)”，这句话是导演在拍片时发现情节或对话有了问题而需修改脚本时所喊的。但是，没有任何电影魔力能够为施瓦辛格州长提供他所需要的幸运与招数，来解决加州诸多的令人棘手的问题。

第七篇 DCACD

在他首次访问英国近70年后，这位世界闻名的比利时人带着同样著名的小狗再次来到英国，并将在此停留5个月。

这就是丁丁，一个以冒险经历而出名的永远年轻的记者。他正在伦敦国家海洋馆举办一次新的展览来庆祝他的75岁生日。

《丁丁历险记》是比利时漫画家乔治(雷米原创的一本漫画集，乔治(雷米更

为人熟知的名字叫埃尔热，埃尔热是乔治(雷米首字母缩写中两个字母颠倒过来的法语发音。书中还包括一些赋予他灵感的人工制品和模型。

该展览将于本周三向公众开放，一直持续到9月5日。在展览会的预展上，伦敦国家海洋馆馆长罗伊(克莱尔告诉记者说:“埃尔热一生热爱大海，还有最重要的一点，他是一个对细节一丝不苟的人。”

丁丁，头上顶着一缕标志性的头发，总是穿着一条灯笼裤，足迹遍布世界各地。他和他的一条小白狗到世界各地探险，从西藏到美洲，从冰岛到非洲。小白狗的英文名叫“白雪”，法语名叫“米卢”。

自从丁丁这个连环画中的人物1929年问世以来，有关他冒险经历的书已经被翻译成60种语言，销售量达到2亿册。

尽管在故事中，丁丁和脾气暴躁的同伴阿道克船长最远到过月球，但是大海却是反复出现的主题，如:《红钳螃蟹贩毒集团破获记》、《海盗失宝》和《独角兽号的秘密》。

埃尔热是一位自学成才的画家，他只是在创作获得成功后才开始到处旅游。第二次世界大战期间，他一直生活在比利时，他被指控犯有通敌罪，之后又立即被宣告无罪，结果他被放逐了一段时间。

他也曾因为早期《丁丁历险记》中的一些情节被指控有种族歧视。

在1938年出版的故事《黑岛》中，描述了记者丁丁到英国的唯一一次旅行。

比利时驻英国大使馆文化专员若雷恩(范迪维尔告诉记者说，“在这次展览中，人们将看到4位著名的比利时人，他们是丁丁、白雪、阿道克船长，当然还有埃尔热本人，这是他们在66年后首次重返英伦”。

第八篇 角逐美国总统 布什会怎样攻击克里? ADDCC

如今事态已经明了，民主党将提名约翰-克里角逐美国总统之位,但问题在于，乔治-布什和他的首席政治战略顾问卡尔-娄福将如何攻击克里。汤姆-托尔斯，其时政漫画定期刊登于中立的《华盛顿邮报》的漫画家，他有一种预感:布什会将克里描绘成极力倡导庞大的社会福利项目，并且要求大笔的联邦预算来支付(也就是说他要提高税收)，同时对恐怖主义也是软弱无力的。

在托尔斯的漫画中，克里和一位幕僚正漫步走过白宫，而在白宫顶上两个工人

正忙着画完一个写有反对克里标语的宣传牌。标语是:“警惕马萨诸塞州基地组织的自由恐怖主义分子”。请不要到你的字典中去找这句话中的后两个英语单词，因为它们是托尔斯造出来的。托尔斯先是将英文的“马萨诸塞州”和阿拉伯文的“基地组织”(本-拉登的恐怖主义组织)合在一起组成了Massalqaeda，然后将“自由的”和“恐怖分子”合在一起组成了liborrist。而后一个词则让人想起布什总统讲话一不留意就真能说出的那类词--必须说明的是，他的这种不留意可是经常发生的。

中国的观察家明白基地组织和恐怖分子指的是谁，克里与它们中的任何一个都毫无瓜葛。但在布什看来，克里充其量只是勉强支持了自己攻占伊拉克推翻萨达姆的政策。但是，将克里斥为“马萨诸塞州自由主义派”又有什么特别的政治意义呢,

马萨诸塞州，主要城市是波士顿，该州名校云集，在20世纪获得了左翼州的名声。该州的议员支持大范围的且不断创新的社会福利体系--虽然不如欧洲国家的福利体系规模大，但与美国大多数州相比，其规模还是最大的，且政府支出的费用不菲。因此，马萨诸塞州的税收就很高，批评家将该州戏称为“税收诸塞州”，甚至有时将其称为“马萨诸塞人民共和国”，因为社会主义理念据说在该州受到热烈欢迎。

在美国(不是在欧洲)，“自由派”是指这样一些人:他们相信政府的管理和税收当局应该保护普通公民免受大公司权力的侵害;他们还想通过政府实施的各项规划来纠正社会不公。他们虽说已经建立了美国的社会福利体系，但还想完善甚至进一步扩大该体系。而问题在于，许多选民将60年代和70年代建立起来的自由派福利体系项目看作既劳民伤财又不奏效，或将其视为被误导了方向的社会工程的实例--那种由学究气的哈佛教授和类似的傲慢蠢才们才想得出来给纳税人加税的名堂。在这些批评家看来，一个自由派分子是非常坏的，而“马萨诸塞州自由派”则是一帮最坏的专横霸道、花钱无度、不负责任的人。

第十篇 European films take a back seat at cinemas BBDCC

欧洲电影日趋萧条 市场份额一年不如一年 (Agencies)

欧洲电影业经历了近十年来最不景气的一年。仅有为数不多的几部电影能够吸引本国以外的观众。

根据欧洲电影观察组织的统计，欧洲电影的票房收入中仅有6.3%来自国内市场之外的欧盟国家，这比去年下降了近10%。美国观众对欧洲电影的兴趣也在不断减少，2003年，欧洲电影在美国电影市场份额只有3.3%。

由英美联合拍摄的描述特工的喜剧片《憨豆特工》和浪漫爱情喜剧《真爱至上》是唯一入选20部欧洲最佳电影的“欧洲”影片。这两部影片在年度电影排行榜上分列第11和第14位，名列榜首的是儿童动画片《海底总动员》，它售出了3770多万张门票。排在《海底总动员》之后的是电影《骇客帝国2:重装上阵》和《加勒比海盗》，它们分别售出了3190万和2900万张门票。《憨豆特工》的观众有1380万，《真爱至上》吸引了1260万名观众。

即使备受称赞的欧洲影片《再见列宁》和影片《日历女孩》在整个欧洲也仅售出了920万和510万张门票。《再见列宁》是一部德国喜剧片，讲述了一个家庭不得不假装柏林墙没有倒塌的故事。《日历女孩》讲述的是女子学院的一群学生为了慈善而拍摄裸体日历的故事。

相反，美国电影进一步巩固了它们在欧盟电影市场的主导地位，它们在欧盟电影市场所占的份额增加了1.6%，超过了72%。《指环王》三部曲的前两部吸引了5400多万名观众。

欧洲电影观察组织是一个公共服务组织，1992年在法国斯特拉斯堡成立，它是本行业中唯一一个收集和传播欧洲电影产业信息的中心。它发表的一篇报道《2003年欧洲电影趋势》断言:“2003年是自1996年以来欧洲电影发行最糟糕的一年。能够在国外称得上具有真正受欢迎潜力的电影为数不多。”

该组织估计，2003年欧盟25个成员国总共售出95400万张电影门票，比2002年减少了4500万张。2003年，整个欧盟25个成员国的电影出品总量与去年的752部电影相比增加了3%。

第十一篇

1. B 细节理解题。该题有一定难度。根据题干，解答该题应定位在第一段。

第一段第二行说“它有时放在?situations vacant(招聘)栏目…，”其中招聘加

了引号，再加上随后的让步从句明确否定了给人提供工作，所以A项应排除。第三行

说“它有时放在?situations wanted?(求职)栏目…，”随后的让步从句也明确否定

了D项。而选择正确答案应根据最后一句话“What it does is to offer help in

applying for a job.”B项正确。C项“把现有的工作分成各种类型”文章没有提及，

也应排除。

2. C 细节理解题。解答该题只需正确理解第二段第二行“The growth and

apparent success of such a specialized service is, of course, a reflection on the current high levels of unemployment.”(这种特别服务的出现和成功反

映了当今的高失业率。)这正是C项的内容。该题属倒着考题型。

3. D 细节理解题。最关键的提示句应该是第三段第三句“The letter was

really just for openers, it was explained, everything else could and should be saved for the interview.”言外之意，在信中不必写得太详细，应该在得到面

试机会时再透露更多细节。D项为正确选项。

4. A 细节理解题。文章第四段第一行中的“as you moved up the ladder”对

应了题干中的“as one went on to apply for more important jobs”。因此，随后

的内容即为答案:“Something slightly more sophisticated was called for. The advice then was to put something in the letter which would distinguish you from the rest.”A项正确。B项说“有关申请人个性的隐含信息”，C项说“申请人申请

工作时相对于其他人的优势”，这两项均不正确，D)项表示“用主动积极的方法偶尔

玩点花招”只是引人关注的其中一种方法，不如A具有概括性。

5. B 单句理解题。本题问个人履历为什么重要。学生只要正确理解最后一段，

就可做出正确选择，最后一句实际上是一强调句型:“…it is increasing number of

applicants with university education at all points in the process of engaging staff that has led to the greater importance of the curriculum vitae.”明

确讲明是越来越多的具有大学教育背景的求职者使得个人履历更显重要。“it is”

后的内容也即是B项的内容，所以B项正确。A、C、D项文中都没有涉及，均应排除。

第12篇

1. A 细节理解题。本题问规定最高租金可能会导致什么结果。文章第一段明确指出，landlords(房东)收取租户的租金有了最高限额，他们的利润会受到影响，也可能导致他们投资其他行业，鉴于此，C、D两项都是错误的。B项“使租房为家的人担忧”文中没有涉及，也不对。依据第一段最后一句话“…, the end result of rent

control is a shortage of apartments in the city.”可知A项为惟一选项。

2. C 细节理解题。依据第一段第四句“However, the critics say that after

a long time, rent control may have negative effects.”可断定C项正确。A、B、D诸项都含绝对意味，都不符合文中意思。

3. A 细节理解题。解答该题只要准确理解第二段的含义，尤其从第三行开始“However, if the minimum is high,…Thus, critics claim, an increase in the

minimum wage may cause unemployment.”此题较简单。

4. B 主旨题。本文从rent control和最低工资控制两方面讨论了政府控制可能造成的后果。进一步说，许多政府行为可能保护某些利益，但从长远看，也会带来许多问题。B项正确。A项说(文章叙述了)供需关系;C项说(文章叙述了)政府控制的必要性;D项说(文章叙述了)摆脱政府控制的紧迫性。文章并没有深入谈及这三项内容，显然不能成为文章主旨。

5. D 细节判断题。依据第四段第二行“The predictions may be correct only

if ?other things are equal?.”可得知A项是对的。从第二段可得知规定最低工资会使得雇主雇用更少的工人，会考虑用机器替代工人，也就会导致更多的人失业，所以B项应该是可以成立的说法。C项的内容实际上就是A项的另一种说法，也可成立。依据第四段内容，可得知D项不正确。经济理论应该有相当的参考价值，只是还需考虑方方面面的因素。

第一篇

Directions: For this part, you are allowed 30 minutes to write a composition on the topic: My View on the post-graduate Craze. You should write at least 120 words and base your

composition on the outline (given in Chinese) below:

1 目前考研究生形成热潮。

2 我认为这股热潮的原因是......

My View on the Post-graduate Craze

Every year, million of college students will sit in for the post-graduate entrance examination. More and more students have regarded the pursuing of a master degree as an indispensable part of their education. What is to account for their enthusiasm for a post-graduate diploma? First, it is the demand of the time. In an age of knowledge updating and information explosion, what you have learned in college can hardly meet the demand of

society. Talents of high quality who are equipped with the latest knowledge and skill will be needed more than ever. That is why many students will further their studies.

Second, we all recognize that the more education you have, the more likely you are to succeed. Compared with those without a master degree, masters will enjoy more preferential treatment, for example, better salaries, more opportunities for promotion and training. A post-graduate degree can guarantee a more promising career.

Last but not least, with the graduation of a large number of college students, competition for jobs becomes more and more fierce. One way to gain some advantage over others is to have a higher degree. No wonder millions of students will consider pursuing a post-graduate degree.

第二篇

Directions: For this part, you are allowed 30 minutes to write a composition on the topic: Something I admire about the Western Culture. You should write at least 120 words according to the outline given below :

1. Is there anything in the Western culture you admire?

2. What is it (are they) and why do you like it (them)?

Something I Admire about the Western Culture

Despite the cultural conflicts between the Orient and the Occident, there do exist some admirable ingredients in the Western culture.

First and foremost, the equality between parents and children. The parents are not always superior to their children, and the children do not always need to obey their parents ?order, that is, they are more like close friends. Second, the independent personality. Western people have a strong sense of supporting themselves and being independent. They begin earning their pocket money early in their life, even as kids.

Last, Western people do not always assess a person according to his background.

If only he can achieve success through personal struggle, he can win status. It's a talent-oriented society, not background-oriented.

第三篇

Directions: For this part, you are allowed 30 minutes to write a composition on the topic My Opinion on Advertisement. You should write at least 120 words and you should base your composition on the outline below:

Some people hold the idea that the advertisement is a necessary evil in modern life.

What do you think?

My Opinion on Advertisement

As is known to all, angels and evils are poles apart. But is there anything that combines the two perfectly? Some there is-the advertisement. With the growing influence of mass media, advertising invades every aspect of our lives. Whenever we turn on the TV, look through a newspaper, open the mailbox, or surf on the Internet, advertisements would immediately jump into our sight. As they make things so attractive, we often end up buying things that we do not really need. Advertising not only adds to the price of the goods, thus harming the consumer's interest, but also imposes a kind of materialistic value upon the audience.

But that is only part of the story-advertisements are informative as well as persuasive. They provide us with up-to-date information about the latest products. Some advertisements are so elegantly presented that we are inspired or even moved. No matter it is an evil or an angel, advertisement has become an indispensable part of our modern life.

第四篇

Directions: For this part, you are allowed 30 minutes to write a composition on the topic: School or Major. You should write at least 120 words and you should base your composition on the outline below:

1.选择报考的学校时，有人先考虑大学的名气，有人先考虑专业是否热门。

2.如果两者不能兼顾，你先考虑哪个,为什么,

School or Major

Recent years have witnessed a steady increase in the popularity of such majors as international finance, finance and accountancy, international trade and business administration. In the meantime, whether to choose good university or a good major has provoked a debate. It is true that graduates from prestigious universities are popular in talent markets, so, many students would spare no efforts to be enrolled in good universities. To them, entering a good university means standing on the threshold of a promising career after graduation. But, a good university can give you confidence as well as much competitive pressure and even the best university has unpopular majors, thus in today's job-hunting society, graduates from these majors could encounter much difficulty in finding a job, let alone a good one, which means they are out of job immediately after graduation.

How about a good major? Maybe you are studying in a common university, but your major is of great competition, then do you still need to worry about your future? A good major can ensure your future success based on your industry and mastery of your major. If your major is exclusive to only several universities, you surely will become a scarce talent. Do not always pursue a good university; choosing a good major suitable to you is wiser. 第五篇

Directions: For this part, you are allowed 30 minutes to write a composition on the topic: What does friendship mean? You should write at least 120 words and you should base your composition on the outline (given in Chinese) below: 1.友谊是人生永恒的主题。

2.友谊到底意味着什么。

3.友谊的重要性。

What does friendship mean? There is no definite answer. An eternal theme in literature, friendship is also indispensable in daily life.

Friendship is to our life what salt is to dasher. When you are happy, friendship is just like adding flowers on the brocade; when you are sad, friendship is a dose of consolation; if you are in trouble, friends will surround you and remove the barriers for you; if you have a hard nut to crack, you can turn to friends for help. We admire the great friendship between Marx and Engel, which firmly combined them and pushed them forward on the road to exploring and fulfilling Communism.

Friendship isn't almighty, but no one can live happily without it. 第六篇

Directions: For this part, you are allowed 30 minutes to write a letter of about 120-150 words to your cousin. In the letter, you should give him some advice how to prepare for the college entrance examination he is going to take next month.

Dear Xiao Yan,

Your entrance examination is drawing near now, and I expect you to be very busy preparing for it and a little nervous. But I believe that you will do well. As a good friend of yours and survivor of the exam, I am going to give you a few practical hints. It is no good to go on studying until the last minute of examination. What you need in the exam is a clear mind. If you tire yourself out before the examination, you will not be mentally and physically ready for it. So a day or two before the examination just relax-leave your books shut and try some other things: get out into the open air; do some physical exercises; see a film; have fun.

When you take the exam, don't feel nervous. Breathe deeply and picture yourself performing well in all the tests. Then, read the questions through carefully and thoughtfully, and put your answer down to paper.

Last, you should pay attention to the time. Keep an eye on the clock and allot appropriate time to each section. I hope all these suggestions will be helpful to you. Best wishes for your success.

Yours affectionately

Direction: For this part you are allowed 30 minutes to write a composition on the topic On Stress. You should write no less than 120 words and base your composition on the online below:

1.有的人害怕压力。

2.有的人认为压力并不是一件坏事。

3.我的看法。

On Stress

With the fast are pace of modern life, more and more people are living under great pressure.

Some people are afraid of pressure. They think that the stresses and strains of work deprive them of joy and happiness. In their view, stress does harm to them both physically and mentally. That is why they prefer something less competitive and strenuous to something more demanding and challenging. Others argue that stress isn't as bad as it often supposed to be. Unless it is overwhelming, a certain amount of stress is vital to provide motivation and stimulation. With out stress, you may slack off and idle away your time. It gives purpose and meaning to an otherwise meaningless, dull life. People under stress tend to bring their potential into full play and to realize their goals.

In my opinion, we shouldn't escape from stress but to face it as it is. What we can do is to adapt to the stress and to profit from it rather than to avoid it.

第八篇

Directions: For this part you are allowed 30 minutes to write a composition on the topic City Problems. You should write no less than 120 words and base your composition on the outline below:

1.越来越多的人涌入大城市，有些问题随之产生。

3.我对这种现象的想法。

City Problems

Nowadays, millions of migrant workers flock into cities in search of jobs and better

living. However, with the sharp rise in the urban population, many problems arise in the development of cities.

Firstly, cities become more and more crowded, putting much pressure upon transportation, housing, sanitation, education, employment and so on. City services and facilities have been strained to a breaking point. Secondly, a growing number of private cars emit huge amount of carbon dioxide, leaving the air mercilessly polluted. What is more, the city is also threatened by rising crime. Not a single day passes without the report of someone being robbed, kidnapped or murdered. Last but not least, city-dwellers are not only separated from the natural world but also isolated from each other, even not knowing the name of their next-door neighbor.

All these problems have harmed the attractiveness of the city. Unless there is some improvement, more and more people may seek to live in the suburbs. 第九篇

Direction: For this part you are allowed 30 minutes to write a composition on the topic Cars and Air Pollution. You should write no less than 120 words and base your composition on the outline below:

1.私家轿车越来越多，有些问题随之产生。

2.比较明显的大问题有......

3.我对这种现象的看法。

Car and Air Pollution

Too many cars have created a lot of serious problems in our world. Besides congestion, accidents and fast fuel consumption, cars are responsible for a good part of air pollution in big cities. All the time, they are pumping huge amounts of waste gases into the atmosphere. These gases are very harmful, causing disease and even death. One possible solution is to design and develop clean cars and clean fuels. In Shanghai, some of the public buses begin to run on natural gas, which does not give off as much carbon dioxide as the petrol. But it may take decades for the new models of clean cars completely replace the traditional ones. Another solution is to develop modern public transportation systems and restrict the use of private cars. If the price of petrol rises constantly and the public vehicles are efficient and convenient enough, most people will not buy private cars. And the total number of cars in big cities will reduce greatly. On the whole, the elimination of air pollution needs the collective efforts from the government, the public and the environmentalists.

第十篇

Directions: For this part, you are allowed 30 minutes to write a composition on the topic Fast Food. Your composition should be based on the Outline given below:

1.快餐在中国十分流行

2.快餐受欢迎的原因

3.我对快餐的看法

Fast Food

Fast food is becoming more and more popular in China, especially among children and teenagers. Today, nothing is more representative of the fast pace of modern society than fast food. There are several reasons for its

popularity. First, it is quick and convenient. Go into a fast food restaurant, and your food will be ready in a minute. You can satisfy your hunger instantly. Precious time won't be wasted in waiting-in-line to order or waiting at your table for your food to arrive. Second, its popularity is also attributed to the clean food, the excellent service and the comfortable environment of the fast food restaurant.

However, I think that fast food isn't healthy enough because it does not compose a balanced diet and is low in nutrition. Doctors suggest that people should avoid eating too much fast food. Although home cooking is time-consuming and following washing-u p tiresome, it offers healthy and delicious meals your body likes and needs. Fast food I s only a good choice when you are in a hurry and we should turn to it only once in awhile. 非英语专业工程硕士研究生英语学位课程考试是按照教学大纲所规定的教学内容和教学目标要

44、Great changes have been made in family life because of science and industry.

In the past, when more Americans lived on farms, the typical family had many children. In a farm family, parents and their children often lived with grandparents. Often, too, uncles and aunts lived nearby. But when industry became more important than agriculture in American life, families became smaller because industry requires workers who are ready and able to move off the land and to move again

whenever necessary. And large families can not be moved from place to place as smaller families can. So, at present people tend to have smaller families.

In the future, because of industrialization, a typical family will be required to move even more often than now, so families will be even smaller. The typical family may remain childless and consists only of a man and a woman. A small number of families may take child raising as their chief work. At the same time they may also raise other people's children, leaving those families free to move from job to job. (1)、The passage discusses influence of science and industry on American families.

47、My Aunt Edith was a widow of 50, working as a secretary, when doctors discovered what was then thought to be a very serious heart disease.

Aunt Edith didn't accept defeat easily. She began studying medical reports in the library and found an article in a magazine about a well-known heart surgeon, Dr. Michael DeBakey, of Houston, Texas. He had saved the life of someone with the same disease. The article said his fees were very high; Aunt Edith couldn't possibly pay them. But could he tell her of someone whose fees she could pay?

So Aunt Edith wrote to him. She simply listed her reasons for wanting to live: her three children, who would be on their own in three or four more years; her little-girl dream of traveling and seeing the world. There wasn't a word of self-pity－only warmth and humor and the joy of living. She mailed the letter, not really expecting an answer.

A few days later, my doorbell rang. Aunt Edith didn't wait to come in; she stood in the hall and read aloud:

Your beautiful letter moved me very deeply. If you can come to Houston, there will be no

charge for either the hospital or the operation.

Signed :Michael DeBakey

2

and personal. Most people in Britain live in houses rather than flats, and many people own their homes. This means that they can make them personal, and change them in any way they like. Most houses have a garden, even if it is a small one, and the garden is usually loved. The house and the garden are the private space of a person. In a crowded city a person knows that he or she has a private space which is only for himself or herself and for invited friends.

People usually like to mark their space. If you are on the beach you may have spread your towels around you; in the rain you may have put your coat or small bag on the seat beside you; in a library you may spread your books around you.

Once I was traveling on a train to London. I was on a section for four people and there was a table between us. The man opposite to me had his briefcase on the table. There was no space on my side of the table at all. I was unhappy. I thought he thought that he owned the whole table. I had been reading a book about nonverbal （非语言的） communication so I took various papers out of my bag and put them on his case! When I did this he suddenly became angry and his eyes nearly popped out （突出）of his head. I had taken up his space! A few minutes later I took my papers off in order to read them. He immediately moved his case to his side of the table.

(3)、According to Paragraph 2, if you spread your books around you in a library, it means you want to tell others the space belongs to you. A：T B：F 答案：A

(5)、The writer tried to get back his space by moving the case off the table. A：T B：F 答案：B

49、A young man who lived in London was in love with a beautiful girl. Soon she became his fiancée （未婚妻）. The man was very poor while the girl was rich. The young man wanted to make her a present on her birthday. He wanted to buy something beautiful for her, but he had no idea how to do it, as he had very little money. The next morning he went to a shop. There were many fine things there: gold watches, diamond… but all these things were too expensive. There was one thing he could not take his eyes off.

On the birthday of his fiancée the young man was very excited.

"Yes," said the taxi driver. The young man was standing outside a restaurant and looking impatiently at his watch every few seconds.

"Take me over there," said the young lady.

There were a lot of cars and buses in the square, so the taxi driver asked, "Are you afraid to cross the street?"

51、Younger people and older people do not always agree. They sometimes have different ideas about life, work and play. But in one special program in New York State, adults and teenagers live together in peace. Each summer 200 teenagers and 50 adults live together for eight weeks as members of a special work group. Everyone works several hours each day. The aim is not just to keep busy but rather to find meaning and enjoyment in work. Some teenagers work in the woods or on the farms near the village. Some learn to make furniture and to build houses. The adults teach them these skills.

There are several free hours each day. Weekends are free, too. During the free hours some of the teenagers learn photography or painting. Others sit around talking and singing. Each teenager chooses his own way to spend his free time.

When people live together, rules are always necessary. In this program the teenagers and the adults make the rules together. If someone breaks a rule, the problem goes before the whole group. The group discusses the problem. They ask, "Why did it happen? " "What should we do about it? "

52、There was once a large, fat woman who had a small, thin husband. He had a job in a big company and was given his weekly wages every Friday evening. As soon as he got home on Fridays, his wife used to make him give her all his money, and then she used to give him back enough to buy his lunch in the office every day.

One day the small man came home very excited. He hurried into the living-room. His wife was listening to the radio and eating chocolates there.

"You'll never guess what happened to me today, dear," he said.

He waited for a few seconds and then added, "I won ten thousand pounds on the lottery!"

One day Ramon went to visit his friend Frank who was sick at home with a bad cold. "How are you feeling?" asked Ramon. "Worse than yesterday," replied Frank. "I have a terrible cough, and there's not a drop of medicine in the house."

"Cheer up, Frank. I'll send Blackie to the local drugstore for some cough syrup (糖浆). He'll be back in a minute, before you know it." Ramon put a five-dollar bill in Blackie's mouth and the dog ran down the street. "And keep the change," Ramon shouted after him.

"Oh, Ramon, don't be silly. You know that dog won't be back with any medicine." "Oh yes, he will," replied Ramon. Half an hour later, however, Blackie had not returned. Ramon was feeling embarrassed, and felt angry at his friend's little smile.

"Something has happened to him, I'm sure," said Ramon. "He obeys me as a rule." Just then Frank saw Blackie at a distance. He hurried to open the door and let him in. Frank was shocked to see a bottle of medicine in the dog's mouth.

55、Computers can injure you. Most other injuries happen suddenly. For example，if you fall off a bike and break your arms，it happens very quickly. But computer injuries happen slowly. You probably know how to ride a bike safely. Now learn to use a computer safely. Your eyes

Too much light can injure your eyes，so never sit too close to a computer screen. Your eyes should be at least 50cm from the screen. Remember to look away from it sometimes. This gives your eyes a rest. When you use a computer, the window should be on your left or your right. If it is behind you, the light will reflect on (反射) the screen. If the window is in front of you, the sun and the screen will both shine into your eyes.

Your hands and wrists

Hand and wrist injuries can happen because the hands and wrists are moved in the same way

hundreds of times. If you use a keyboard for a long time，follow these three rules:1) Rest your wrists on some thing. 2) Keep your elbows (肘) at the same height as the keyboard. 3) Stop sometimes and exercise your hands，wrists and fingers in a different way. Your back

Some people sit for many hours in front of a computer. If you sit in the wrong way，you can injure your back or your neck. So you should sit with your back straight. The top part of the screen should be in front of your eyes. Your forearms，wrists，hands and the upper part of your legs should all be parallel (平

行) to the floor. If you are sitting for a long time，get up every 30 minutes and exercise your arms，legs

and neck.

56、Do you want to know something about the history of weather? Don't look at the sky. Don't look for old weather reports. Looking at the tree rings is more important. Some weather reports go back only one century，but some trees can show us an exact record of the weather even further back.

It's clear that a tree would grow best in a climate with lots of sunlight and rainfall. It is also expected that little sunlight or rainfall would limit the growth of a tree. The change from a favorable (有利的) to an unfavorable climate can be reading the tree rings in tree trunk. To find out the weather of ten years ago，count the rings of a tree trunk from the outside to the inside. If the tenth ring is far from the other rings，then we are sure that lots of sunny and rainy weather happened. If the rings are close together，then the climate was bad for the tree.

Studying tree rings is important not only for the history of the weather，but also for the history of man. In a place of New Mexico you can find only sand－no trees and no people. However，many centuries ago a lot of people lived there. They left suddenly. Why?

A scientist studied the dead tree rings which had grown there. He decided that the people had to leave because they had cut down all the trees. Trees were used to make fires and buildings. So, after the people cut down the trees，they had to move.

(1)、It is understood that in a favorable climate tree rings grow far from each other. A：T B：F 答案：A

(2)、Trees brought lots of sunlight and rainfall. A：T B：F 答案：B

(3)、The scientists are interested in studying tree rings because they can tell whether the climate was favorable or not. A：T B：F 答案：A

(4)、Studying dead tree rings shows how the people left. A：T B：F 答案：B

(5)、The people had to leave the place of New Mexico because they had cut down all the trees. A：T B：F 答案：A 57、For several years，Americans have enjoyed teleshopping－watching TV and buying things by phone. Now teleshopping is starting in Europe. In a number of European countries，people can turn on their TVs and shop for clothes，jewelry，food，toys，and many other things.

Teleshopping is becoming popular in Sweden，for example. The biggest Swedish company sells different kinds of things on TV in 15 European countries，and in one year it made $100 million. In

France there are two teleshopping channels，and the French spend about $20 million a year to buy things through those channels.

In Germany，until last year teleshopping was only possible on one channel for 1 hour every day. Then the government allowed more teleshopping. Other channels can open for telebusiness，including the largest American teleshopping company and a 24-hour teleshopping company. German businesses are hoping this new teleshopping will help them sell more things.

Some people like teleshopping because it allows them to do their shopping without leaving their homes. With all the problems of traffic in the cities，this is an important reason. But at the same time，other Europeans do not like this new way of shopping. They can do teleshopping "junk on the air". Many Europeans usually worry about the quality of the things for sale on TV. Good quality is important to them，and they believe they cannot be sure about the quality of the things on TV.

The need for high quality means that European teleshopping companies will have to be different from the American companies. They will have to be more careful about the quality of the things they sell. They will also have to work harder to sell things that the buyers cannot touch or see in person. (1)、Teleshopping is cheap in Europe. A：T B：F 答案：B

(2)、People like teleshopping because it is easier. A：T B：F 答案：A

(3)、Some Europeans don't like teleshopping because they don't watch TV. A：T B：F 答案：B

(4)、In Germany，teleshopping may have fewer buyers. A：T B：F 答案：B

(5)、The best title of this passage is " Teleshopping in Europe" . A：T B：F 答案：A

58、Chess must be one of the oldest games in the world. An Arab traveller in India in the year 900 wrote

that it was played 'long, long ago.' Chess was probably invented in India, and it has been played everywhere from Japan to Europe since 1400. The name 'chess' is interesting. When one player is

attacking the other's king, he says in English, 'check'. When the king has been caught and cannot move anywhere, he says 'check mate'. These words come from Persian 'Shah mat' means 'the king is dead'. That is when the game is over, and one player has won.

Such an old game changes very slowly. The rules have not always been the same as they are now. For example, at one time the queen could only move one square at a time. Now she is the strongest piece on the board. It would be interesting to know why this has happened. Chess takes time and thought, but it is a game for all kinds of people. You don't have to be a champion in order to enjoy it. It is not always played by two people sitting at the same table. The first time the Americans beat the Russians was in a match played by radio. Some of the chess masters are able to play many people at the same time. The record was when one man played 400 games! It is said that some people played chess by post. This must make chess the slowest game in the world.

(1)、Chess was played in India long before 900. A：T B：F 答案：A

(2)、One player has won the game when he attacks the other player's king. A：T B：F 答案：B

(3)、Chess is a game for all sorts of people. A：T B：F 答案：A

(4)、Only two people can play chess sitting at the same table. A：T B：F 答案：B

(5)、According to the old rules of the game, the king could not move anywhere. A：T B：F 答案：B

59、A foreigner's first impression of the U.S. is likely to be that everyone is in a rush - often under pressure. City people appear always to be hurrying to get where they are going restlessly, seeking attention in a store, and elbowing others as they try to complete their errands (任务). Racing through daytime meals is part of the pace of life in this country.

Working time is considered precious. Others in public eating places are waiting for you to finish so that they too can be served and get back to work within the time allowed. Each person hurries to make room for the next person. If you don't, waiters will hurry you.

You also find drivers will be abrupt and that people will push past you. You will miss smiles, brief conversations, and small courtesies with strangers. Don't take it personally. This is because people value time highly, and they resent someone else "wasting"it beyond a certain courtesy point.

The view of time affects the importance we attach to patience. In the American system of values, restlessly about if we feel time is slipping away without some return - be this in terms of pleasure, work value, or rest. Those coming from lands where time is looked upon differently may find this matter of pace to be one of their most difficult adjustments in both business and daily life.

Many newcomers to the States will miss the opening courtesy of a business call, for example, they

6

will miss the ritual socializing that goes with a welcoming cup of tea or coffee that may be traditional in their own country. They may miss leisurely business chats in a café or coffeehouse. Normally, Americans do not assess their visitors in such relaxed surroundings over prolonged small talks. We seek out evidence of past performance rather than evaluate a business colleague through social courtesies. Since we generally assess and probe professionally rather than socially, we start talking business very quickly.

(5)、We can infer from the passage that the author's tone in writing is ________. A：critical B：ironical C：praiseful D：objective 答案：C

60、Sixteen-year-old Maria was waiting in line at the airport in Santo Domingo. She was leaving her native country to join her sister in the United States. She spoke English very well. Though she was very happy she could go abroad, she was feeling sad at leaving her family and friends. As she was thinking all about this, she suddenly heard the airline employee asking her to pick up her luggage and put it on the scales (称). Maria pulled and pulled. The bag was too heavy and she just couldn't lift it up. The man behind her got very impatient. He, too, was waiting to check in his luggage.

Maria was very angry, but she was very polite. And in her best English she said, "Why are you so upset? There are enough seats for everyone on the plane. If you are in such a hurry, why can't you give me a hand with my luggage?"

61、It has been reported that in colleges across the United States, the daytime serial drama known as the soap opera has suddenly become "in". Between the hours of 11 a.m. and 4:30 pm, college television lounges are filled with soap opera fans who can't wait to see the next episode in the lives of their favorite characters.

Actually, soaps are more than a college favorite; they're a youth favorite. When school is out, high-school students are in front of their TV sets. One young working woman admitted that she turned down a higher paying job rather than give up watching her favorite serials. During the 1960's, it was uncommon for young people to watch soap operas. The mood of the sixties was very different from now. It was a time of seriousness, and talk was about social issues of great importance.

Now, seriousness has been replaced by fun. Young people want to be happy. It may seem strange that they should turn to soap opera, which is known for showing trouble in people's lives. But soap opera is enjoyment. Young people can identify with the soap opera character, who, like the college-age viewer, is looking for happy love, and probably not finding it. And soap opera gives young people a chance to feel close to people without having to bear any responsibility for their problems. (1)、What is soap opera?

A：Plays based on science fiction stories. B：Plays based on non-fiction stories. C：The daytime serial dramas on TV. D：Popular documentary films on TV. 答案：C

(2)、What can be the best title of the passage? 答案：C

A：College student viewers. B：Favorite TV serials. C：Soap opera fans. D：College-age viewers.

(3)、Which is NOT the reason why the soap opera has suddenly become "in" among American young people ?

A：Because the viewers want to be happy and to enjoy themselves.

B：Because the soap opera makes young people feel close to their people. C：Because the viewers can find themselves in the soap opera characters.

D：Because the young people have to bear the responsibilities for their troubles. 答案：D

7

(4)、What can we learn from the passage? _________

A：College students like soap operas more than any other social groups. B：Young people of sixties liked soap operas more than people today.

C：young viewers have turned themselves from the seriousness of sixties to enjoyment now. D：The young as a whole are trying to look for happy love but in vain. 答案：C

(5)、What message does the author want to convey to us? _________

A：The people's favorites to drama works have been changed for a long time. B：The people's favorites to drama works change along with the times. C：The people's favorites to drama works is changed by the soap opera. D：The people's favorites have changed the drama works. 答案：B

62、Many people who work in London prefer to live outside it, and to go in to their offices or schools every day by train, car or bus, even though this means they have to get up early in the morning and reach home late in the evening.

One advantage of living outside London is that houses are cheaper. Even a small flat in London without a garden costs quite a lot to rent. With the same money, one can get a little house in the country with a garden of one's own.

though one has to get up earlier and spend more time in trains or buses, one can sleep better at night and during weekends and on summer evenings, one can enjoy the fresh, clean air of the country. If one likes gardens, one can spend one's free time digging, planting, watering and doing the hundred and one other jobs which are needed in a garden. Then, when the flowers and vegetables come up, one has got the reward together with those who have shared the secret of Nature.

Some people, however, take no interest in country things: for them, happiness lies in the town, with its cinemas and theatres, beautiful shops and busy streets, dance-halls and restaurants. Such people would feel that their life was not worth living if they had to live it outside London. An occasional walk in one of the parks and a fortnight's (two weeks) visit to the sea every summer is all the country they want: the rest they are quite prepared to leave to those who are glad to get away from London every night. (1)、Which of the following statements is NOT true?_________ A：People who love Nature prefer to live outside the city. B：People who work in London prefer to live in the country.

C：Some people enjoying city life prefer to work and live inside London.

D：Many nature lovers, though working in London, prefer to live outside the city. 答案：B

(2)、With the same money ________, one can buy a little house with a garden in the country. A：getting a small flat with a garden B：having a small flat with a garden C：renting a small flat without a garden D：buying a small flat without a garden 答案：C

(3)、When the garden is in blossom, it means that one ________ has been rewarded. A：living in the country B： having spent time working in the garden

C： having a garden of his own D：having been digging, planting and watering 答案：B

(4)、People who think happiness lies in the town would feel that _______ if they had to live outside London.

A：their life was meaningless B： their life was invaluable C：they didn't deserve a happy life D：they were not worthy of their happy life 答案：A

(5)、The underlined phrase get away from in the 3rd paragraph refers to ________. A：deal with B：do away with C：escape from D：prevent from 答案：C

63、Places to stay in Britain are as varied as the places you visit. Whatever your budget is the choice -from basic barn to small hotel, from tiny cottage to grand castle - is all part of fun. Hostels

Cheap, good-value hostels are aimed at all types of like-minded travelers, who prefer value over luxury and you don't have to be young or single to use them. Britain's independent hostels and backpackers hostels also offer a great welcome. Facilities and prices vary, especially in rural areas, where some hostels are a little more than a bunkhouse (临时住房) while others are remarkably comfortable － almost like bargain hotels. Youth Hotels

Founded many years ago to "help all, especially young people of limited means, to a greater knowledge, love and care of the countryside", the Youth Hotels Association is still going strong in the 21st century. The network of 230 hotels is a perfect gateway for exploring Britain's towns and countryside. B&Bs

The B&B (bed and breakfast) is a Great British institution, In essence you get a room in somebody's house, and small B&Bs may only have one guest room, so you'll really feel like part of the family. Larger B&Bs may have four or five rooms and more facilities, but just as warm as a welcome. In country areas your B&B might be in a village or an isolated farm surrounded by fields.

64、In the United States, it is not customary to telephone someone very early in the morning. If you telephone him early in the day, while he is shaving or having breakfast, the time of the call shows that the matter is very important and requires immediate attention. The same meaning is attached to telephone calls made after 11:00 pm. If someone receives a call during sleeping hours, he assumes it's a matter of life or death. The time chosen for the call communicates its importance.In social life, time plays a very important part. In the U.S.A. guests tend to feel they are not highly regarded if the invitation to a dinner party is extended only three or four days before the party date. But it is not true in all countries. In other areas of the world, it may be considered foolish to make an appointment too far in advance because plans which are made for a date more than a week away tend to be forgotten. The meaning of time differs in different parts of the world. Thus, misunderstandings arise between people from different cultures that treat time differently. Promptness is valued highly in American life, for example. If people are not prompt, they may be regarded as impolite or not fully responsible. In the U.S. no one would think of keeping a business associate waiting for an hour, it would be too impolite. A person, who is 5 minutes late, will say a few words of explanation, though perhaps he will not complete the sentence. (1)、What is the main idea of this passage? ________

A：It is not customary to telephone someone in the morning and in sleeping hours in the U.S. B：The role of time in social life over the world.

C：If people are late, they may be regarded as impolite or not fully responsible in the U.S. D：Not every country treats the concept of time as the same. 答案：B

(2)、What does it mean in the passage if you call someone during his or her sleeping hours? _______ A：A matter of work. B：A matter of life or death. C：You want to see him or her. D：You want to make an appointment with him or her. 答案：B

(3)、Which of the following time is proper if you want to make an appointment with your friend in the U.S. A.?

A：at 7:00 am B：at 4:00 pm C：at the midnight D：at 4 am 答案：B

(4)、Which of the following statements is true according to the passage? ________ A：In the U.S.A. guests tend to feel they are highly regarded if the invitation to a dinner party is extended only three or four days before the party date.

65、There are three kinds of goals: short-term, medium-range and long-term goals.

Short-term goals are those that usually deal with current activities, which we can apply on a daily basis. Such goals can be achieved in a week or less, or two weeks, or possibly, months. It should be remembered that just as a building is no stronger than its foundation, long-term goals cannot amount to very munch without the achievement of solid short-term goals. Upon completing our short-term goals, we should date the occasion and then add new short-term goals that will build on those that have been completed.

The intermediate goals build on the foundation of the short-term goals. They might deal with just one term of school or the entire school year, or they could even extend for several years. Any time you move a step at a time, you should never allow yourself to become discouraged or overwhelmed. As you complete each step, you will enforce the belief in your ability to grow and succeed. And as your list of completion dates grow, your motivation and desire will increase.

Long-term goals may be related to our dreams of the future. They might cover five years or more. Life is not a static thing. We should never allow a long-term goal to limit us or our course of action. (1)、Our long-term goals mean a lot ____答案：B___.

A：if we cannot reach solid short-term goals B：if we complete the short-term goals C：if we have dreams of the future D：if we put forward some plans (2)、New short-term goals are built upon______.

A：a daily basis B：your achievement in a week C：current activities D：the goals that have been completed 答案：D

(3)、When we complete each step of our goals, ________. A：we will win final success B： we are overwhelmed C：we will build up our confidence to achieve success D：we should have strong desire for setting new goals 答案：C

(4)、What is the main idea of this passage? _______

A：Life is a dynamic thing. B：We should set up long-term goals. C：Different kinds of goals in life. D：The limitation of long-term goals. 答案：C

(5)、Which of the following statements is wrong according to the passage? _______

A：The long-term goals cannot amount to very munch without achieving short-term goals. B：The intermediate goals build on the foundation of the short-term goals. C：Life is a static thing, thus never allowing a long-term goal to limit us. D：We should often add new short-term goals to what have been completed. 答案：C

66、How men first learnt to invent words is unknown; in other words, the origin of language is a mystery. All we really know is that men, unlike animals, somehow invented certain sounds to express thought and feelings, actions and things, so that they could communicate with each other; and that later they agreed upon certain signs, called letters, which could be combined to present those sounds, and which could be written down. Those sounds, whether spoken or written in letters, we call words.

The power of words, then, lies in their associations - the things they bring up before our minds.

Words become filled with meaning for us by experience; and the longer we live, the more certain words recall to us the glad and sad events of our past; and the more we read and learn, the more the number of words that mean something increases.

Great writers are those who not only have great thoughts but also express these thoughts in words which appeal powerfully to our minds and emotions. This charming and telling use of words is what we call literary style. Above all, the real poet is a master of words. He can convey his meaning in words which sing like music and which by their position and association can move men to tears. We should therefore learn to choose our words carefully and use them accurately, or they will make our speech silly and vulgar.

(1)、The origin of language is _________.

A：a legend handed down from the past B：a matter that is hidden or secret C：a question difficult to answer D：a problem not yet solved 答案：D

(2)、What is true about words? _______

A：They are used to express feelings only. B：They can not be written down. C：They are simply sounds. D：They are mysterious. 答案：C

(3)、The real power of words consists in their ______.

A：properties B：characteristics C：peculiarity D：representative function 答案：D

(4)、By "association" in the last paragraph, the author means ______.

A：a special quality B： a joining of ideas in the mind C：an appearance which is puzzling D：a strange feature 答案：B

(5)、Which of the following statements about the real poet is NOT true? _________ A：He is no more than a master of words. B：He can convey his ideas in words which sing like music. C：He can move men to tears. D：His style is always charming. 答案：A

67、Shyness is the cause of much unhappiness for a great many people. Shy people are anxious and self-conscious; that is, they are excessively concerned with their own appearance and actions. Worrisome Do I sound stupid? Am I wearing unattractive clothes?

It is obvious that such uncomfortable feelings must negatively affect people. A person's conception of himself or herself is reflected in the way he or she behaves, and the way a person behaves affects other people's reactions. In general, the way people think about themselves has a profound effect on all areas of their lives.

Shy people, having low self-esteem, are likely to be passive and easily influenced by others. They need reassurance that they are doing "the right thing." Shy people are very sensitive to criticism; they feel it confirms their feelings of inferiority. They also find it difficult to be pleased by compliment with a statement like this one, "You're just saying that to make me feel good. I know it's not true." It is clear that while self-awareness is a healthy quality, overdoing it is harmful.

Can shyness be completely eliminated, or at least reduced? Fortunately, people can overcome shyness with determined and patient efforts in building self-confidence. Since shyness goes hand in hand with a lack of self-esteem, it is important for people to accept their weaknesses as well as their strengths. Each one of us is a unique, worthwhile individual, interested in our own personal ways. The better we understand ourselves, the easier it becomes to live up to our full potential. Let's not allow shyness to block our chances for a rich and fulfilling life.

(1)、What does the author try to prove by citing "what kind of impression am I making?" (Para. 1)__________

A：Shy people benefit from their caring about their appearance.

B：People's shyness made them care too much about their appearance and actions. C：It's natural that shy people don't believe other's compliments. D：Shy people think they are different from others. 答案：B

(2)、According to the writer, self-awareness is __________.

A：a good quality B：the cause of unhappiness C：harmful to people D：a weak point of shy people 答案：A

(3)、That shy people react to a compliment in such a way is ___________. A：good B：unreal C：very reasonable D：harmful 答案：B

(4)、Which of the following statements is true, according to the passage? _________ A：Shyness helps us to develop our potential B：Shyness enables us to understand ourselves better C：Shyness can block our chances for a rich life D：Shyness has nothing to do with lack of self-esteem 答案：C

(5)、It can be inferred from the passage that shy people ________.

A：should find more of their weakness B：should understand themselves in the right way C：had better ignore their weakness

D：can get rid of their shyness while maintaining low self-esteem 答案：B

68、When John and Victoria Falls arrived in New York City for one-year stay, they did not bring very many things with them. They had planned either to live in a furnished apartment or to buy used furniture. But they soon learned about a new system that more and more people are using. The renting of home furnishings (bed, tables, dishes, and so on) has become one of America's fastest growing businesses.

People who are international business or government officials, foreign students, airline workers, young married couples - people whose job or business may force them to move frequently from one city to another.

Young people with little money do not want to buy cheap furniture that they may

One family, who now have a large, beautiful home of their own, liked their rented furniture so much that they decided to keep renting it instead of buying new things.

69、A poor boy, who had not enough money to buy a meal, stopped one hot summer at noon before an eating-house. The boss of the restaurant told him several times to go away， but the boy could not leave the wonderful smell. At last, the cook came out of the restaurant. Taking hold of his arm, he declared that the boy had been feeding upon the smell of their food. He asked the boy to pay half the price of a meal. The poor fellow said that he neither could nor would pay.

At that moment, a police happened to pass. He said to the boy, "You have been feasting one of senses with the good smell of this man's meat, you should satisfy one of his senses. How much money do you have?"

"I have only two pence in all the world, sir and I must buy some bread."

"Never mind,"answered the policeman,"Take your two pence between your hands. Now rattle them loudly."

The boy did so, and the officer, turning to the cook, said, "Now, sir, I think he had paid you the smell of your delicious food. The smell of your food rewarded his nostrils（鼻孔） and the sound of his

money rewarded your ears."

71、Can trees talk? Yes, but not in words. Scientists have reason to believe that trees do communicate with each other. Not long ago, researchers learned some surprising things. First a willow tree attacked in the woods by caterpillars (毛虫) changed the chemistry of its leaves and made them taste so terrible that they got tired of the leaves and stopped eating them. Then even more astonishing, the tree sent out a special smell--a signal causing its neighbors to change the chemistry of their own leaves and make them less tasty.

Communication, of course, doesn't need to be in words. We can talk to each other by smiling,

raising our shoulders and moving our hands. We know that birds and animals use a whole vocabulary of songs, sounds, and movements. Bees dance their signals, flying in certain patterns that tell other bees where to find nectar (花蜜) for honey. So why shouldn't trees have ways of sending message? (1)、It's implied that caterpillars do not feed on leaves that have an unpleasant taste. A：T B：F 答案：A

72、A farmer had once made a purchase of a fine fat sheep, hoping to offer it up to the Buddha. While he was leading it home, four thieves saw him and made up their minds to steal the sheep. They knew him to be an honest person and one who thought of no more harm in others than he had in himself. They dared not take the sheep away from him by force, for they were too near the city. Therefore, they thought hard and got an idea: they first parted company and then came to the man as if they had come from several distinct parts.

The first thief came up to the farm and said, "My good old man, why are you leading this dog?" At this moment the second thief, coming from another direction, cried to him, "Poor old man, where have you stolen this dog?"And immediately after these words, the third thief came up and asked the farmer,"Where are you going with this handsome greyhound?"

The poor farmer began to doubt whether the sheep was a sheep or not. But the fourth robber put him quite beside himself by coming near him and asking what the dog cost him.

The farmer began to think and got the conclusion that the four men, who came from different directions, could not all be wrong. He believed that the sheep he was leading was a dog. On realizing this, the farmer went back quickly to the market to demand his money from the person who sold him the dog, leaving the dog with the four thieves.

73、When Li Chen got married, his wife's mother came to live with them. She was not an easy woman to live with. She was always complaining and never seemed to stop talking.

Li Chen loved his wife but her mother was making his life miserable. Unfortunately, his wife would not listen to any criticism of her mother. "She is my mother," she said. "I must respect her and so must you."

74、One way that scientists learn about man is by studying animals, such as mice and monkeys. The scientists in this laboratory are experimenting on mice. They are studying the relationship between diet and health. At this time, over one hundred experiments are being done in this laboratory.

In one of these experiments, the scientists are studying the relationship between the amount of food the mice eat and their health. The mice are in three groups. All three groups are receiving the same healthy diet. But the amount of food that each group is receiving is different. The first group is eating one cup of food each day, the second group is eating two cups, and the third group of mice is eating three cups.

After three years, the healthiest group is the one that is only eating one cup of food each day. The mice in this group are thinner than normal mice. But they are more active. Most of the day, they are running, playing with one another, and using the equipment in their cages. Also, they are living longer. Mice usually live for two years. Most of the mice in this group are still alive after three years.

The second group of mice is normal weight. They are healthy, too. They are active, but not as active as the thinner mice. But they are only living about two years, not the three years or more of the thinner mice.

The last group of mice is receiving more food than the other two groups. Most of the day, these mice are eating or sleeping. They are not very active. These mice are living longer than the scientists thought - about a year and a half. But they aren't as healthy. They're sick more often than the other two groups.

But that kind of life is not for Ethell Pepper. "I just wanted to do something different. If you are going to participate in life, do it. Don't just sit down and look out of the window." She says. At 68, she decided to become one of the pioneer participants in a program at the University of California. The program offers campus housing and classes to people over sixty. She enrolled in a class called Human Relationships and a Diverse Society. "I taught my minority students in my English and drama classes in high school for 20 years. But in this course, I found out a lot about other cultures that I didn't know then. One of the more important lessons that I'm learning is to perceive, not to judge." Older adults can add to the educational resources of university by bringing with them a lot of valuable experience. Their presence on campus helps break some long believes on aging. Young students may have fears of growing older. But that kind of fear can be reduced as they see that older people can be active, healthy, and continue to contribute to society.

They will turn themselves off and on again when you return. A sensor will detect the presence of a human and turn the systems on, and when the humans leave it will turn them off again.

The sensors will work through the central home computer, and they will do much more than just turn the fires and lights on and off for you. They will detect faulty electrical appliances, isolate them so that they cannot harm anyone, and then warn you that they need repair. They will detect fire and if you are out of the house, the computer will call the firemen. It will also call the police, should the sensors detect an intruder（非法闯入者）. You will open the door using your personal card--the one you use for shopping--maybe using a number known only to you.

The French and Indian War was fought between 1754 and 1763. The name of this war is not accurate because the war was actually between England and France. The Indians fought on the side of the French.

held part of what is now the United States. However, France tried to expand its land by moving southward into New York, Pennsylvania, Ohio, and Virginia. When the French built a fort（堡垒）on the Ohio River, the residents in Virginia sent George Washington to attack the fort in 1752. However, the French defeated Washington.

The French, aided by the Indians, outsmarted（比…..聪明） the English and won many early battles. Later, the British began to do well against the French. In the final battle in Quebec, Canada, General Wolfe of England faced General Montcalm from France. Both generals died in this battle, but the English outlasted（比…..持久）the French and won the battle.

78、My wealthy uncle was dying. He wanted to leave me his entire fortune, which was about half a million dollars. There was, one condition: I must be married before he died. If not, I wouldn't receive a cent.

I was not a greedy man, but I thought half a million dollars was a rather high price for keeping my freedom. I decided to make the great sacrifice. It was easier said than done. The doctor was certain my uncle would be dead within a fortnight(两周). That put me in a difficult position. You see, besides being forty years old, I was also ugly. I had no lady friends, I couldn't possibly advertise myself as wealthy until after my marriage. Advertise! What a good idea!

I ran an advertisement in one of the popular Sunday newspapers. To my surprise and joy, I received over a thousand replies. I spent hours opening the letters.

My heart sank. I couldn't possibly read all the letters. Time was running out. In despair, I burnt all the letters. No choice was better than a bad choice. In this dejected(灰心的) state of mind, I went to see a good friend. He was a waiter in a restaurant. I told him my problem. "If you are really serious," he said, I can recommend my sister. She's an excellent cook and a good housekeeper. She is all alone now.

"But is she interested in marriage?" I asked.

79、"Cool" is a word with many meanings. Its old meaning is used to express a temperature that is a little bit cold. As the world has changed, the word has had many different meanings. "Cool" can be used to say, "It's cool." You may think, "He's so cool." when you see your favorite football player.

We all maximize(最大化) the meaning of "Cool". You can use it instead of many words such as "new" or "surprising". Here's an interesting story we can use to show the way the word is used. A teacher asked her students to write about the waterfall they had visited. On one student's paper was just one sentence, "It's cool."

One of the guides asked the president to shoot the bear so he could win a hunting trophy (奖励). The president raised his riffle first and then put down his gun, letting the poor bear go.
