　　Part II. Reading Comprehension(50 points)

　　Directions: In this part there are four passages. Each passage is followed by five questions or unfinished statements. For each of them, there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. You should decide on the best choice and mark the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet with a single line through the centre.

　　Passage One

　　Most American people hate repeating the same work endlessly, especially those who live in West America. They try their best to make their life colorful and their work interesting. If they have

　　to do the same regular work, they’ll try to do it in different ways. Repetition and monotony ( 單 調 )

　　are what they cant stand.

　　In the West of America, there is a beautiful old mountain village which is well known for its straw hats. The villagers there can make different styles of hats—hats for old gentlemen, for sweet and playful children, and for beautiful young ladies. People often go there to buy hats.

　　One day there came a young tourist who entered a hat shop and found a very nice hat that cost five dollars. He said to the shop-keeper,” If you agree to sell at a cheaper price, Id like to buy two hundred hats of this style.” “No, you should pay me at least ten dollars each if you wish to get so many hats of the same style.”

　　“Hows that?” The tourist could not understand.

　　“Well,” said the shop-keeper, “if you buy only one hat of this style, I can make it easily. If you order two hundred hats of different styles, I can also manage the business without much difficulty. However, it will almost bore me to death if you want me to make two hundred hats of the same style. So at least you pay me double price.”

　　61.We can learn from the story that .

　　A.only the straw hats of the same style were sold

　　B.most American people dont want to do the same work again and again

　　C.the straw hats were sold only in the mountain village

　　D.the price will be cheaper if you buy a lot of hats of the same style

　　63.The answer of the shop-keeper really made the tourist .

　　A.frightened B. pleased C. puzzled D. delighted

　　64.Why did the shop-keeper ask the tourist to pay him double price?

　　A.Because the shop-keeper couldnt make two hundred hats of the same style.

　　B.Because the shop-keeper couldnt stand repeating the same work endlessly.

　　C.Because the shop-keeper didnt want to sell him so many hats.

　　D.Because the shop-keeper hadnt enough straw to make the hats.

　　63.“It will bore me almost to death” in Paragraph 5 means that .

　　A.it would be too expensive for the shop-keeper

　　B.the shop-keeper was bored and would die at once C the shop-keeper was dying

　　D. it would be too boring for the shop-keeper

　　Passage Two

　　It is exciting to apply for a job that really appeals to you. In making your application, there are a number of points for you to observe.

　　In your letter of application, say just enough to give a good account of yourself without being wordy. If you are answering an advertisement, any information for which it asks must, of course, be given. This will usually cover your academic record and any further education and training. You may also be asked to give the names of one or two persons to supply references. For this purpose

　　you should choose people who know you well enough to vouch(保證) for your character and ability;

　　and to be polite, you should seek in advance their permission to be named as referees.

　　It will depend on circumstances how much you can carefully add about yourself. Your purpose is to bring to the notice of the employer any good reason why you rather than any of the other applicants should be chosen for the job. Therefore, if you feel you have any special skill or talent for the work, or particular interest in the line of business. let it be known.

　　Finally, there is your use of language. You cannot go wrong if you keep your sentences and paragraphs short, making sure the sense is clear and well-expressed. Choose plain words so long as they convey the meaning.

　　66.The aim of writing a letter of application is to .

　　A.indicate why you are the most suitable for the job

　　A.Making a Job Application. B. Effective Letter Writing.

　　Passage Three

　　Doctors have known for a long time that extremely loud noises can cause hearing damage or loss. The noise can be the sound of a jet airplane or machines in factories or loud music or other common sounds found at home or at work. A person only needs to hear the noise for a little more than one second to be affected. An American scientist has found that using aspirin can increase the temporary hearing loss or damage from loud noise. He did an experiment, using a number of male students at a university who all had normal hearing. He gave them different amounts of aspirin for different periods of time, and then he tested their hearing ability. He found that the students who were given four grams of aspirin a day for two days suffered much greater temporary hearing loss than those who did not use aspirin. The hearing loss was about two times as great. The scientist said millions of people in the United States use much larger amounts of aspirin than were used in the study. He said these people face a serious danger of suffering hearing loss from loud noise.

　　71.Hearing damage or loss may be caused by .

　　A.loud music B. the sound of a jet airplane or machines

　　C. common sounds at home or at work D. all of the above

　　72.The passage suggests that ones hearing .

　　C.will not be damaged even if he hears a loud noise for a little more than one second

　　D.will not be damaged even if he hears a loud noise for a little less than one second

　　73.According to this passage, we can draw a conclusion that aspirin . A.should never be taken more than four grams a day

　　B.makes hearing damage from noise worse

　　C.decreases hearing damage by two times

　　D.should never be taken for more than two days

　　74.Millions of Americans are in danger of suffering hearing loss from loud noise because they .

　　75.The scientist found from his experiment that a day for two days would affect a persons hearing.

　　A. one gram of aspirin B. two grams of aspirin

　　C. three grams of aspirin D. four grams of aspirin

　　Passage Four

　　Ancient people had little idea of the nature of the earths surface. But if they lived on the seashore, they knew that there was land and sea.

　　People who lived near the sea noticed that there were two kinds of land. There were, first, little pieces of land surrounded by sea. One Latin word for “sea” is “salum”, which means “salt”. This is

　　because sea water, unlike rain-water, contains salt—it is salty. So a piece of land in the sea was “in

　　salt” in Latin, and this became isle in English.

　　Then there was another kind of land that went on and on. It was “continuous land, and so became known as continent in English from the Latin “continēnts” meaning continuous. In English, we also speak of a continent as the mainland (“main” comes from the Latin “magnus” meaning “ great”), as opposed to island( isle-land).

　　To the ancient Greek, there seemed to be three continents separated by sea. The Mediterranean Sea, in fact, gets its name from the Latin “medius” (middle) and “terra” (land). It was a sea that lay

　　in the middle, with three bodies of land around it. The three continents—Asia, Europe and Africa—

　　are actually connected by land. Africa and Asia are connected by only the small Sinai Isthmus, from the Greek “isthmus” meaning “a narrow passage”, but Europe and Asia are connected by land for a thousand miles or more and it is customary to speak of Europe as a continent. Many geographers speak of the landmass of Asia plus Europe as Eurasia, and Eurasia plus Africa is sometimes called the World Island. The three together are surrounded by sea, so they form a large island, and they contain about 85 percent of the earths population.

　　76.People in ancient times knew .

　　A.a lot about land and sea B. some continents were connected

　　C. little about the surface of the earth D. many people lived on the World Island

　　77.The word “continent” comes from language.

　　A.the Latin B. the Roman C. the Greek D. the Hebrew

　　78.“Eurasia” is the name for the continents of .

　　A.Europe and Asia B. Europe and Africa

　　C. Africa and Asia D. Europe, Asia and Africa

　　79.What connects Asia and Africa?

　　A.A small island. B. A large desert.

　　C. A narrow passage. D. A wide land.

　　80.About 85% of the population in the world are living .

　　A.in Europe B. in Asia

　　C. in Eurasia D. on the World Island

　　Part III. Translation (20 points)

　　Directions: In this part, there is one passage in English. Read the passage carefully and translate it into Chinese.

　　Learning English has been almost a painful experience for me, one that I wouldn’t trade for anything. Not only did learning English teach me the value of hard work, but also gave me

　　insights( 領 悟 ) into another culture. The most exciting result of having learned English is that I am

　　able to communicate with many more people than before. Talking with people is my favorite activity, so the newly learned language allows me to meet new people, participate in conversations, and form new and unforgettable friendships.

　　Part IV. Writing (20 points)

　　Directions: For this part, you are required to write a composition of 120 to 180 words. Your writing should be based on the title and outline given below.

　　College Students Doing Part-Time Jobs

　　There are many advantages for college students to have part-time jobs. First, it can help the students to realize that if they want to be successful, they need to be hard-working. Next, doing part-time jobs can help the students to learn about time management. Then, doing part-time jobs can provide the students opportunities to put what they have learned in class into practice, which, in turn, will help them learn about what exactly is needed in real jobs.

　　However, there may also be some disadvantages. Firstly, the students study hours may be shortened depending on circumstances. They may not have enough time to do their homework or study for their examinations. Secondly, some students may become too preoccupied with making money. They may not be willing to commit as much time as needed to their study. The consequences may include failure in examinations or non-graduation in the end.

　　As far as I am concerned, college students can take part-time jobs as long as they can keep a good balance between their study and their part-time jobs.

　　Task 1

　　Linkup ,the APP Research and Development Company, has announced it will give more than twenty-five million dollars in money and investments to help the poor. The company says the effort involves using the power of information and technology to help people improve their lives.

　　James Lee works for Linkup.org—— the part of the company that gives money to good causes. He said the company’s first project will help identify where infectious (傳染性的) diseases are developing. In Southeast Asia and Africa, for example, Google.org will work with partners to strengthen early-warning systems and take action against growing health threats.

　　Linkup.org’s second project will invest in ways to help small and medium-sized businesses grow. James Lee says microfinance (小額信貸) is generally small, short-term loans that create few jobs. Instead, he says Google.org wants to develop ways to bring investors and business owners together to create jobs and improve economic growth.

　　Linkup.org will also give money to help two climate-change programs announced earlier this year. One of these programs studies ways to make renewable (再生的) energy less costly than coal-based energy. The other is examining the efforts being made to increase the use of electric cars.

　　The owners of Linkup have promised to give Linkup.org about one percent of company profits and one percent of its total stock value every year. James Lee says this amount may increase in the future.

　　21. The purpose of Linkup’s investments is to ________.

　　A) develop new technology B) explore its own business

　　C) help poor people D) to set up new markets

　　22. According to James Lee, the company’s first project is to ________.

　　A) discover where infectious diseases develop

　　B) establish a new system to warn people of infectious diseases

　　A) Foreign-funded corporations B) Small and medium-sized businesses

　　C) Large enterprises D) State-owned

　　24. From the fourth paragraph, we learn that Linkup’s money is also invested to help _______.

　　A) conduct studies related to climate changes

　　B) do some research programs

　　C) produce more advanced electric cars

　　D) research and develop renewable and coal-based energy

　　25. From the last paragraph we learn that the investments by Linkup.org come from ________.

　　A) some international IT companies B) the company’s own interests

　　Task 2

　　If you think 3D printing is only good for making delicate paperweights(壓紙器), then you’re pretty much right. However, a group of Dutch architects have already begun 3D printing an entire canal house in Amsterdam. Is the first 3D printed house a gimmick(喙頭)？Definitely! Is it an experiment that pushes the possibilities for 3D printing technology and architecture? Maybe!

　　3D Print Canal House is the brainchild of DUS Architects. “KamerMaker,” Dutch for “room maker”, is their giant printer built inside a shipping container. Just a few weeks ago, KamerMaker began printing plastic furniture and walls at an empty canal-side lot in northern Amsterdam. Smaller versions of the unusual honeycomb walls have been tested on normal desktop printers, and everyone just needed to scale it up (按比例放大). Well, if only it were that easy.

　　“The printer did not always manage to spread the plastic evenly(均勻的)， making some of the ribs of the honeycomb structure of the block uneven,”reported ARN(Australian Radio Network) to the surprise of no one who has used a 3D printer. But the architects remain optimistic. The first few printed blocks are means to be test prices as they improve the process.

　　It takes about a week to print a 3-meter high block right now. The project’s leaders hope to eventually get that down to two hours and finish the first of 12 rooms in a year, and the entire house in less than 3 years.

　　Finally, 3D Print Canal House is an architecture research project, one that is very much being conducted in the public eye. You can actually buy tickets to visit the construction site for 2.50 Euros.

　　The top floors will become more decorated, for example, as newer techniques are used. They’ll explore the possibilities of 3D printing, like honeycomb walls or an entire room recycled, redesigned, and built again. Nobody’s going to move into 3D printed house soon, but, if anyone ever dose, something might be learned from this experiment by the email.

　　26. What have the Dutch architects begun to use 3D printer to do according to the passage?___

　　A. To make heavy paperweights.

　　B. To print the unusual honeycomb.

　　C. To print an entire canal house.

　　D. To build a shipping container

　　27. Where did KamerMaker begin printing plastic furniture and walls several weeks ago?

　　A. It was inside a shipping container in Amsterdam.

　　B. It was at an empty canal-side lot in northern Amsterdam.

　　Task 3

　　Let’s say you have a certain amount of money you’ve saved up for holiday gifts. If you want to get something for everyone on your list, you can’t spend much on any single purchase.

　　But have you ever heard the expression "time is money "? There’s some truth to it! We “spend” time just like we “spend” money, and in both cases, we have to spend it wisely if we want to get something good in return. Just like you might get an allowance of 10 dollars a week. Or 38 dollars for a trip to the mall, each day we are given 24 hours of time.

　　The earliest way to help you get everything done to budget that time! This is all about:

　　-Examining your Have-to’s and Want-to’s.

　　-Examining your how much time your Have-to’s and Want-to’s will take up.

　　-Working out a plan that let’s you speed the amount of time on each one.

　　Once you have this plan, a “time budget”, you’ll be better able to create a Daily Schedule and Weekly Planner. Of course, everyday isn’t exactly the same as the next, so it may help you to make a different time budget for different days.

　　Let’s look at a sample time budget on Wednesday:

　　Sleep 8 hours

　　Shower, dressing, ready for school 1/2 hour

　　Breakfast 1/2 hour

　　Bus for school 1/2 hour

　　School 7 hours

　　Bus home 1/2 hour

　　Soccer practice 2 hours

　　Household chores 1/2 hour

　　Homework 2 hours

　　Dinner 1/2 hour

　　TV time 1 hour

　　Reading/personal time 1 hour

　　Total time spent 24 hours

　　Great! That day’s budget works out, because it all adds up 24 hours. If the total came out to be more than that, we would have choose something to cut down or drop from that day. When you make these types of decision, you choose priorities.

　　Task 4

　　[A]Interest in pursuing international careers has risen in recent years strengthened by permanent personnel shortages that are causing companies to search beyond their home borders for talent.

　　[B] Professionals seek career experience outside of their home countries for a variety of reasons. They may feel the need to recharge their batteries with a new challenge. They may want a position with more responsibility that encourages creativity. Or they may wish to expose their children to another culture, and the opportunity to learn a second language.

　　[C]When applying for a job, one usually has to submit a resume or curriculum vitae (CV). The two terms generally mean the same thing: a one--or two--page document describing ones educational qualifications and professional experience. However, guidelines for preparing a resume are constantly changing. The best advice is to find out what is appropriate regarding the company culture, the country culture, and the culture of the person making the hiring decision. The challenge will be to include two or more cultures in one document. The following list is a good place to start.

　　[D]“Educational requirements differ from country to country. In almost every case of cross--border job hunting, just stating the title of your degree will not be an adequate description. Provide the reader with details about your studies and any related experience. "

　　[E]Pay attention to the resume format you use-chronological or reverse-chronological order. Chronological order means listing your oldest work experience first. Reverse-chronological order means listing your current or most recent experience first. Most countries have preferences about which format is most acceptable. If you find no specific guidelines, the general preference is for the reverse-chronological format."

　　[F]If you are submitting your resume in English, find out if the receiver uses British English or American English because there are changes between the two versions. For example, university education is often referred to as tertiary education in the United Kingdom, but this term is almost never used in the United States. A reader who is unfamiliar with these changes may assume that your resume contains errors.

　　31. The author believes that an individual who applies to work overseas seeks either his own or his childrens development.

　　32. When it comes to resume writing, it is best to take cultural factors intocon sideration.

　　33. According to the authors last piece of advice, the applicants should be aware of the differences between the changes of English.

　　34. Companies are hiring more foreign employees because they have difficulty

　　finding qualified personnel at home.

　　35. When writing about qualifications, applicants are advised to provide a detaileddescription of their study and work experiences.

　　Format I

　　Directions:

　　There are four passages in this part. Each passage is followed by some questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marker A,B,C, and D. You should decide on the best choice and blacken the corresponding letter on The Answer Sheet.(40 points)

　　Passage One

　　Questions I to 5 are based on the following passage:

　　A U.N. report says water is in demand around the world as temperatures on Earth’s surface rise and demand grows along with populations. The report was released this week at the World Water Forum in Brasilia. The conference has been described as the world’s largest water-related event.

　　Federal District Governor Rodrigo Rollemberg spoke at a panel discussion on Tuesday at the forum. He described water shortages as a worldwide problem. “Here in Brasilia, it is no different,” he added.

　　The public water supply has less water because of low rainfall as well as fast and disorderly growth in Brasilia, which is part of the Federal District, Rollemberg said. In January 2016, after three years of little rain, district officials began limiting how much water people could use. The governments of the Federal District and the nearby state of Goias also gave $166 million to develop water infrastructure（基礎設施）.

　　Demand around the world is expected to increase by nearly one-third by 2050. By then, 5 billion people could be left with poor access to water, the U.N. warned in its 2018 World Water Development Report. To avoid such a crisis, U.N. officials called for “nature-based solutions” that use or copy natural processes that should be used to increase water availability. They said solutions could include changing farming methods so fields keep more moisture and nutrients, collecting rainwater, and protecting wetlands. The officials also proposed reestablishing floodplains and said that plants could be grown on housetops. Such proposals will become more important as water industries grow.

　　1. Who talked about water shortages in Brasilia at a panel discussion?

　　A. A journalist

　　B. A.U.N. official

　　C. A Federal District official

　　D. An official from the state of Goias.

　　A. They controlled population

　　B. They limited water consumption

　　C. They invested in artificial rainmaking

　　D. They suggested"nature-based solutions”

　　Passage Two

　　Questions 6 to 10 are based on the following passage:

　　The Queen has only given one interview while a sovereign(君主). Her true personality remains elusive to the public. However, one thing is clear: Queen Elizabeth is an introvert.Introverts prefer quiet environments and feel energized from spending time alone or with people they know well. They aren’t necessarily shy, but they do tend to be more reserved and guarded with strangers. Fellow introverts will appreciate how draining an average day for Her Majesty must be.

　　Fortunately, the Queen has some tricks to make public engagements easier. Just like us commoners rely on friends to save us from awkward situations or boring conversations, she subtly signals to her staff when she wants an intervention(介入）. If she places her handbag on the table, it indicates that she wants the event to end in the next five minutes. For more urgent situations, putting her bag on the floor shows that she wants her lady-in-waiting to rescue her immediately.

　　Most comfortable in the countryside, the Queen has a well-known passion for horses and dogs. There is a scene in the hit Netflix show The Crown which reveals a fascinating side of the monarch. While giving Jackie Kennedy a personal tour of Buckingham Palace, the two women find themselves bonding over their respective positions as introverted women who have found themselves in the limelight.

　　Passage four

　　Questions 16 to 20 are based on the following passage

　　You’ve made it. You managed to navigate your way through the world’s largest airport you breezed through security and you successfully boarded the plane. Now you’re comfortable in your seat in the cabin, and there’s even a little bit it of elbow room, as the flight isn’t fully booked for once. With the hassle behind you, you settle in with your neck pillow, pop some Kenny G on your iPod, and get ready to spend quality time sleeping on a plane. And you’re abouto make a huge mistake that will put your health at risk, as reported by Travel + Leisure.

　　It’s not because of the Kenny G. It’s the shuteye part. According to Medline Plus, falling asleep during landing or takeoff could cause serious damage to your ears. It all has to do with the rapid changes in air pressure in the cabin. If you’re awake, a natural response to alleviate pressure on your eardrums during takeoff and landing is to “pop” them, to maintain a pressure equilibrium. If you’re sleeping on a plane, you can’t actively work to relax those muscles and release the tension, so you can become susceptible to dizziness, ear infections, eardrum damage, hearing loss and nose bleeds. “A quick change in altitude affects the air pressure in the ear,” says Angel Chalmers, a British pharmacist, via Express. “This leads to a vacuum in the Eustachian tubes(咽鼓管) which makes the ears feel blocked and sound dull.”

　　Keep those Eustachian tubes clear and keep those eyes open for at least another few minutes. Crack open that book you just bought in the terminal. After all, there are some major perks to buying your reading material at the airport.

　　16.The underlined sentence"youve made it .”(Paragraph 1) means that you have managed_____.

　　A. to board the plane

　　B. to get a bit of elbow room

　　C. to get ready to sleep after boarding

　　D. to make yourself comfortable after boarding

　　17. What would damage your health when the plane lakes off or lands?

　　A. Using a neck pillow.

　　B. Shutting your eyes

　　C.Listening to music

　　D. Falling asleep.

　　18. The underlined word"alleviate"( Paragraph 2) is the closest in meaning to “____”.

　　A.increase

　　B. reduce

　　C.maintain

　　D,escape

　　19. Having a vacuum in the Eustachian tubes during takeoff and landing could cause unpleasant symptoms to the following body parts EXCEPT____.

　　A. the throat

　　B. the nose

　　C. the cars

　　D. the head

　　20. The author suggests that you read a book____during the plane taking off and landing

　　Section B Short Answer Questions(每小題 3 分,共 10 分)

　　Directions: In this part there is a short passage followed by five questions or incomplete statements. Read the passage carefully. Then answer the questions or complete the statements with no more than 10 words. Please write your answers ou The Answer Sheet.(10 points)

　　Researchers in Japan and Australia say they have made progress in developing blood test that could one day help doctors identify who might get Alzheimer’s disease. The scientists said the test can recognize a protein known as amyloid (濤粉樣蛋) beta, which other studies have linked to Alzheimers. They said it was correct more than 90 percent of the time in a study involving over 370 people. The findings were published in the journal Nature.

　　Alzheimers disease is the most common form of demenna（癡呆). Experts believe dementia affects close to 50 million people worldwide. By the year 2050, it is expected to affect more than131 million people. Those numbers come from Alzheimers Disease International, a non-profit group. Currently, doctors have two ways to identify a buildup of amyloid beta in the brain. One is brain scan or brain imaging; the other is a spinal tap(脊椎抽 液). But both tests are invasive,costly and may only show results when the disease has already started to progress. There is no treatment that can slow the progression of Alzheimers. Current drugs can only case some of the effects of the disease.

　　Having a simple, low-cost blood test could make it easier for drug companies to find enough people who are at risk of developing Alzheimers to test new medicines, said Katsuhiko Yanagisawa. He was one of the leaders of the study. He works at the Japanese National Center for Geriatrics and Gerontology

　　Alzheimers disease is thought to start developing years before patients have any signs of memory loss. Experts say an important factor in finding an effective treatment will be the ability to recognize signs of the disease early. "You have got to walk before you run, "said Colin Masters, a co-leader of the study and a professor at the University of Melbourne in Australia.

　　When asked how far engineers had done towards creating artificial intelligence(AI),Stephen W. Hawking replied: 66. Once humans develop artificial intelligence, it would take off on its own. It will redesign itself at an ever increasing rate. Humans, who are limited by slow biological evolution, couldnt compete with them. We would be replaced.”

　　In my view, the late Cambridge professor is wrong because there are strong grounds for believing that computers will never copy all human cognitive abilities. 67. AI has historically failed to copy human mentality, and it will continue to fail. Three fundamental problems explain why.

　　First, computers lack true understanding. A US philosopher John Searle proposes how a computer program can appear to understand Chinese stories by responding to questions, but fail to truly understand anything of the interaction.

　　Second, computers lack consciousness. Some researchers hold 68. if a robot experiences a conscious sensation as it interacts with the world, consciousness will exist in everything everywhere：in the cup of tea I am drinking, in the seat that I am sitting on. But does everything in this world have souls or minds? If we reject this idea, we must reject machine consciousness

　　Lastly, computers lack mathematical insight. Can the human mind be completely realized by mere computations my role as an Al expert on the International Committee for Robot Arms Control.I am particularly concerned by the potential development of robotic weapons systems. 69. These systems can engage themselves in military action without human instruction. This is because current AI is not similar to human intelligence. When fighting against each other, poorly designed autonomous systems have the potential to make the situations worse rapidly. Such systems can exhibit true artificial stupidity.

　　It is possible to agree that 70. AI may pose an existential threat to humanity, but it will never become more intelligent than us.

　　第三部分：閱讀理解（Part I Reading Comprehension本大題共20小題，每小題分，共30分）第一節：短文理解，考生可根據文章內容從每題四個選擇項中選出最佳答案。

　　Passage One

　　A lot of kids are getting online these days —sharing data, talking about social issues, meeting adults as well as kids, and learning about other cultures. There seems to be everything on the network. Just like any other form of media, the quality of this massive collection of information is unequal, and there is good information as well as rubbish.Networks hold great promise: however, it’s also home to people who mean to hurt others or use their technical knowledge to steal from them . Although many Web pages can teach kids useful things, there are some other sites waiting to temp young people who are immature and easily affected.

　　By now, you may shake your head, but wait, let’s try to put the problem into perspective

　　’s safe for kids to use the Internet. The number of sites considered harmful is between 1% and 3%, which shows about million other sites are interesting and educational. Besides, to stop children from using these services just because crimes are being committed online would be like telling them not to attend college because students may have accidents on campus.

　　What can parents do to protect their children from those harmful sites? The simplest solution is the use of programs which block offensive sites. Such programs are set to screen out certain words likely to appear on “unhealthy” sites. But many sites inappropriate to young people are clever at using words with double meanings that may appear harmless. Whats more, not only do the programs fail to do the job satisfactorily, they also take away the decisive role of parents in children’s education. A child who downloads bad information or pictures can only be corrected by positive family influence. No filtering program is necessary for a child who has learned to say “no” to sites he knows are inappropriate for him.

　　Today, when children are exposed to technology at a young age, parents often find themselves lagging behind in computer skills. Surprisingly, this may be the key to your involvement. What is better way to learn about the Internet than to do so alongside your children? They’ll most likely pick it up more quickly than you do, of course, but you’ll have the chance to see, and take pride in, your child at work. You may search for information that interests your child together with him and get to know the “friends” he has online, just as you would get to know his other friends.

　　Thoughtful parents would combine supervision with communication, which is the best wav to take advantage of the Internet as a resource while protecting their children. Follow their examples and have fun with kids on the Net!

　　51. According to the passage, is it wise for parents to keep their children away from the computer? Why?

　　A) No. Because there are also millions of sites which are interesting and educational.

　　B) No. Because their children have the right to use computer,

　　C) Yes. Because there are many rubbish sites which may hurt children.

　　D)Yes. Because children may become addicted to computer games.

　　52. In the last two paragraphs, parents are advised to

　　A) learn about the Internet along with their children

　　B) watch their children while they are at work

　　C) search for information for their children

　　D) make friends with their children

　　53. According to the article, the best way to protect children as well as take advantage of the Internet is .

　　A) the use of filtering programs

　　B) parents，mastery of computer skills

　　C) the combination of supervision and communication

　　D) forbidding them to make friends on the Internet

　　54. Which of the following is closest in meaning to the underlined expression “lagging behind”？

　　A)hide behind B) run behind

　　C)walk behind D) fall behind

　　Passage Two

　　When you go to university to study for a degree, you have decided to study professionally, rather than as an amateur; so being a student is now your profession for at least the next four years.

　　This involves a change of attitude in many ways. Although the process has been going on since you went to middle school, the biggest change is going to take place. Now, instead of taking several subjects, you have chosen one major subject because you find it interesting and worth exploring further. The choice was yours. You also have the goal of getting a degree . The degree and the stages you have to pass through to achieve it give you motivation, even though it may become weak from time to time, and not all parts of the course will be exciting; a sure way to lose interest is to do too little work. It is a law of diminishing returns - the less work you do, the less interest you will have and the more bored you will become. So, regular work is needed to keep up your interest as well as to keep pace with new work.

　　Another change is in the relationship with teachers. This may well have changed during middle school and high school, but now the whole context is different. You are no longer forced lo slay in school all day, and apart from your class time, you organize your own time and place for studying. You are there to study (an active process) rather than to be taught (passive). Your teachers may or may not urge you, but they do want you to share their interest in the subject and they want you to succeed.

　　Some activities, like discussing and reading, are basic to studying. Make sure that you are doing these efficiently.

　　Group discussions give you a chance to train yourself to speak and discuss more effectively. Theywill fail in their purpose if you keep silent —and if you start off this way, the harder it will become to get out of the situation of being the non-speaking member of the group. In the future you are almost certainly going to have to be good at speaking, so get into the way of talking about your subject now. This is actually more fun than sitting being silently miserable because you are not saving anything. Nobody will think what you say is foolish. Everyone will be thankful not to face awkward silence.

　　55. When does a person start to study professionally?

　　A）The time when he starts a profession.

　　B）The time when he goes to university.

　　C）The time when he knows how to study.

　　D）The time when he goes to high school.

　　56. Which of the following is not unique to university?

　　A）Students have to choose one major subject.

　　B）The goal of study is to get a degree.

　　C）Students need to work hard.

　　D）Students organize their own time for studying.

　　57. University teachers.

　　A）don’t care about students’ performance

　　B）hope students can share their interest in

　　C）force students to stay in school all day

　　D）know nothing about their students

　　does the underlined word “they” refer to？

　　A）University teachers.

　　B）Group discussions.

　　C）University students.

　　D）The topics of discussions.

　　Passage Three

　　When I first met Nina, I disliked her at once. She was wearing skintight pedal pushers, a flashy, floppy top, and sneakers with no socks - bizarrely inappropriate even at our very informal company. Soon, Nina was doggedly pumping me for information about the new department I was running, where she hoped to get a permanent job. Not a chance, I thought. Not if I have anything to say about it

　　However, I didn’t Within a few days she was ‘trying out’，for me. I gave her a moderately difficult, uninteresting, and unimportant project that I didn’t need for months. It took that long for her successor to put in order the mess she had made out of ft Although I couldn’t have prediction exactly what Nina would do，in three minutes I had assessed her as someone who could not be relied on to get a job done.

　　We all make quick judgments about strangers. Within seconds after we meet someone, We take in a host of details and draw rather large conclusions from them. We may decide in a minute whether it is someone’s nature to be warm or cold, friendly or hostile, anxious or calm, happy or troubled. Unconsciously, we often ask and quickly answer certain questions: Will I enjoy talking to him at this party? Will she make an interesting friend? Will he/she make a good boss / sales manager / secretary for me? If we get to know the person better, we may change our minds. But we may not have the chance.

　　From Nina’s inappropriate dress and aggressive behavior toward me, I’d decided she was pushy. stupid and had poor judgment.I also had a lot of vague impressions I couldn’t explain. It was as if a warning bell went off in my head. Its message: this person was not to be trusted; her behavior would be unpredictable; she was motivated by a peculiar agenda of her own that I would never understand.

　　I was using a combination of observation, inference and intuition.

　　did the author dislike Nina?

　　A）Because of her badly looking sneakers.

　　B）Because of her inappropriate dress and aggressive behavior.

　　C）Because of her special uniform.

　　D）Because of her dirty words to the author.

　　did the author give Nina an“unimportant project” that he “didn’t need for months”？

　　A）Because the author wanted to play trick on her.

　　B）Because he had no other job for her to do at the moment.

　　C）Because the author believed she was the right person for the job.

　　D）Because the author thought she couldn’t be relied on to get a job done.

　　to the passage, which of the following is not true?

　　A）People tend to make quick judgment about strangers.

　　B）The author’s first judgment about Nina was totally wrong.

　　C）Nina behaved rather pushy when she first met the author.

　　D）The author actually disliked Nina at the first sight.

　　author’s judgment about Nina was based on .

　　A）a combination of observation, inference and intuition

　　B）a combination of imagination and observation

　　C）a combination of observation, intuition and imagination

　　D）a combination of inference, analysis and imagination

　　Part III Reading Comprehension (2×20)

　　Directions: There are 4 passages in this part.Each passage is followed by some questions or incomplete statements.For each of them there are 4 choices marked A, B, C and D.You should decide on the best choice, and mark the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet.

　　Passage1

　　Many post-80s couples are complaining that going to the movies, shopping or attending parties have become impossible since their kids were born. That s the way most parents are living their lives, no weekends of their own, no time to visit friends, not even a chance of promotion in their jobs.

　　Asking help from their parents might be a way out,but problems are that some aging parents are not strong enough to take care of the kids, and that the kids may also become too spoiled by their grandparents.

　　Then, here comes a solution: families with kids can form a small group, and parents of each family can take turns to look after all the kids in this group on weekends. Thus, other parents can have some quiet time and feel free to do something they ve been planning for a long time. At the same time, the kids can make new friends and won t be hanging around their parents all day long. This is baby-pooling.

　　61. Many post-80s couples cant go to the movies, shop or attend parties because .

　　Passage2

　　It is a terrible illustration of man s weakness to nature ,and the tsunami(海嘯) that struck the Japanese coast in March, 2011 has illustrated the difficulty of fighting against natural disasters, even for a prosperous nation.

　　Totally preventing tsunami-damage is impossible. But there is much that can be done to minimize damage and loss of life. Measures that can be taken include designing solid buildings, and developing early-warming systems, public education programs and evacuation(疏散) strategies.Moreover, the approach of a tsunami is possibly picked up by the sensors of complicated international warming systems. Countries can use radio and television broadcasts as well as loudspeaker networks to warn the public.

　　But an early warming system depends on how far the tsunami strikes, if it s close by, the warning system is not going to be very effective. When people are faced with an unstoppable force like a tsunami the massive waves

　　created by events like underwater earthquakes, the best course of action for them is to get inland and to the higher ground as quickly as possible.

　　66. The first paragraph tells us that .

　　A. man can easily defeat the nature

　　B. tsunamis take place only in Japan

　　C. man s ability to cope with natural disasters is limited

　　B. Rich countries are less affected by tsunamis than poor countries.

　　C. Approaching tsunamis can possibly be picked up by sensors.

　　D. An early warning system is effective when a tsunami is close by.

　　Passage 3

　　Global warming is causing more than 300,000 deaths and about $125 billion in economic losses each year, according to a report by the Global Humanitarian Forum, an organization led by Annan, the former United Nations secretary general.

　　The report, to be released Friday, analyzed data and existing studies of health, disaster, population and economic trends. It found that human-influenced climate change was raising the global death rates from illnesses including malnutrition (營養不良) and heat-related health problems.

　　But even before its release, the report drew criticism from some experts on climate and risk, who questioned its methods and conclusions.

　　Along with the deaths, the report said that the lives of 325 million people, primarily in poor countries, were being seriously affected by climate change. It projected that the number would double by 2030.

　　Roger Pielke Jr.a political scientist at the University of Colorado, Boulder, who studies disaster trends, said the Forum’s report was “a methodological embarrassment” because there was no way to distinguish deaths or economic losses related to human-driven global warming amid the much larger losses resulting from the growth in populations and economic development in vulnerable (易受傷害的) regions. Dr. Pielke said that “climate change is an important problem requiring our utmost attention.” But the report, he said, “will harm the cause for action on both climate change and disasters because it is so deeply flawed (有瑕疵的).”

　　However, Soren Andreasen, a social scientist at Dalberg Global Development Partners who supervised the writing of the report, defended it, saying that it was clear that the numbers were rough estimates. He said the report was aimed at world leaders, who will meet in Copenhagen in December to negotiate a new international climate treaty.

　　In a press release describing the report, Mr. Annan stressed the need for the negotiations to focus on increasing the flow of money from rich to poor regions to help reduce their vulnerability to climate hazards while still curbing

　　the emissions of the heat-trapping gases. More than 90% of the human and economic losses from climate change are occurring in poor countries, according to the report.

　　71.What is the finding of the Global Humanitarian Forum?

　　A．Global temperatures affect the rate of economic development.

　　B．Rates of death from illnesses have risen due to global warming.

　　C．Malnutrition has caused serious health problems in poor countries.

　　D．Economic trends have to do with population and natural disasters.

　　72. What do we learn about the Forum’s report from the passage?

　　A．It was challenged by some climate and risk experts.

　　B．It aroused a lot of interest in the scientific circles.

　　C．It was warmly received by environmentalists.

　　D．It caused a big stir in developing countries.

　　73. What does Dr. Pielke say about the Forum’s report?

　　A．Its statistics look embarrassing.

　　B．It is invalid in terms of methodology.

　　C．It deserves our closest attention.

　　D．Its conclusion is purposely exaggerated.

　　74. What is Soren Andreasen’s view of the report?

　　A．Its conclusions are based on carefully collected data.

　　B．It is vulnerable to criticism if the statistics are closely examined.

　　C．It will give rise to heated discussions at the Copenhagen conference.

　　D．Its rough estimates are meant to draw the attention of world leaders.

　　75.What does Kofi Annan say should be the focus of the Copenhagen conference?

　　A．How rich and poor regions can share responsibility in curbing global warming.

　　B．How human and economic losses from climate change can be reduced.

　　C．How emissions of heat-trapping gases can be reduced on a global scale.

　　D．How rich countries can better help poor regions reduce climate hazards.

　　Passage 4

　　Reaching new peaks of popularity in North America is Iceberg Water, which is harvested from icebergs off the coast of Newfoundland, Canada.

　　Arthur von Wiesenberger, who carries the title Water Master, is one of the few water critics in North America. As a boy, he spent time in the larger cities of Italy, France and Switzerland, where bottled water is consumed daily. Even then, he kept a water journal, noting the brands he liked best. “My dog could tell the difference between bottled and tap water,” He says.

　　But is plain tap water all that bad? Not at all. In fact, New York’s municipal water for more than a century was called the champagne of tap water and until recently considered among the best in the world in terms of both taste and purity. Similarly, a magazine in England found that tap water from the Thames River tasted better than several leading brands of bottled water that were 400 times more expensive.

　　Nevertheless, soft-drink companies view bottled water as the next battle-ground for market share―this despite the fact that over 25 percent of bottled water comes from tap water: PepsiCo’s Aquafina and Coca-Cola’s Dasani are both purified tap water rather than spring water.

　　As diners thirst for leading brands, bottlers and restaurateurs salivate (垂涎) over the profits. A restaurant’s typical mark-up on wine is 100 to 150 percent, whereas on bottled water it’s often 300 to 500 percent. But since water is much cheaper than wine, and many of the fancier brands aren’t available in stores, most diners don’t notice or care.

　　As a result, some restaurants are turning up the pressure to sell bottled water. According to an article in The Street Journal, some of the more shameless tactics include placing attractive bottles on the table for a visual sell, listing brands on the menu without prices, and pouring bottled water without even asking the diners if they want it.

　　Regardless of how it’s sold, the popularity of bottled water taps into our desire for better health, our wish to appear cultivated, and even a longing for lost purity.

　　76. What do we know about Iceberg Water from the passage?

　　A.It is a kind of iced water.

　　B. It is just plain tap water.

　　C .It is a kind of bottled water.

　　D .It is a kind of mineral water.

　　77. By saying “My dog could tell the difference between bottled and tap water (Line 4 Para2), Von Wiesenberger wants to convey the message that ________.

　　A .plain tap water is certainly unfit for drinking

　　B .bottled water is clearly superior to tap water

　　C. bottled water often appeals more to dogs taste

　　D. dogs can usually detect a fine difference in taste

　　78. The-fancier brands (Line 3 Para 5) refers to ________.

　　A. tap water from the Thames River

　　B. famous wines not sold in ordinary stores

　　C.PepsiCo’s Aquafina and Coca-Cola’s Dasani

　　D. expensive bottled water with impressive names

　　79. Why are some restaurants turning up the pressure to sell bottled water?

　　A. Bottled water brings in huge profits.

　　B. Competition from the wine industry is intense.

　　C. Most diners find bottled water affordable.

　　D. Bottled water satisfied diners’ desire to fashionable.

　　80. According to passage, why is bottled water so popular?

　　A. It is much cheaper than wine.

　　B. It is considered healthier.

　　C.It appeals to more cultivated people.

　　D. It is more widely promoted in the market.

　　71.B 細節題。由第一段Global warming is causing more than 300,000 deaths and about $125 billion in economic losses each year, according to a report by the Global Humanitarian Forum, an organization led by Annan, the former United Nations secretary general.可知B正確

　　72.A 細節題。根據文章第三段But even before its release, the report drew criticism from some experts on climate and risk, who questioned its methods and conclusions.

　　可知A正確。

　　73.B 細節題。由第五段2,3,4行the Forum’s report was “a methodological embarrassment” because there was no way to distinguish deaths or economic losses related to human-driven global warming amid the much larger losses resulting from the growth in populations and economic development in vulnerable (易受傷害的) regions.說明他認為他的研究是無效的。故B正確。

　　74.D 細節題。由根據第五段最后兩行” But the report, he said, “will harm the cause for action on both climate change and disasters because it is so deeply flawed (有瑕疵的).”以及it was clear that the numbers were rough estimates. 可知D正確

　　本文主要講述了氣候變暖的幾位專家的觀點，并展開了議論。本文的障礙在于詞匯方面，考生要能夠在上下文的語境中猜測生詞的意思，同時要有很強的歸納總結能力，從從字里行間中推斷出對方所持的觀點。

　　Passage4答案解析：

　　這篇文章分析了瓶裝水在北美十分流行的原因。

　　文章開篇引題，以Iceberg Water為例，說明了瓶裝水在北美的火熱流行程度，為后文分析其流行的原因做好鋪墊。第一段只有一句話，作者把reach謂語提前，使用倒裝結構對Iceberg Water達到流行頂點這一事實進行強調，這樣Iceberg Water置于句末，借以使用非限制性定語從句對這種瓶裝水的來源進行描述。

　　第二段馬上指出了瓶裝水流行的原因，但這是借一位瓶裝水專家之口來指出媒體普遍的觀點：my dog could tell the difference between bottled and tap water，含義是瓶裝水明顯優于自來水。第二段的作用無疑是豎靶子以備批駁，第三段緊接著對這種觀點進行了分析，并用源自泰晤士河的自來水比幾種名牌瓶裝水口感更佳為例進行了反駁。

　　在接下來的四段中，作者具體分析了瓶裝水流行的真正原因。第四段有承上啟下的作用，把百事和可口可樂公司作為例子，既以兩家公司的瓶裝水25%來源于自來水的事實繼續反駁瓶裝水優于自來水的觀點，又以兩家公司對瓶裝水市場的重視引出瓶裝水流行的真正原因。

　　第五、六段論證了售賣方式是瓶裝水流行原因之一的觀點，最后一段指出除售賣方式之外的其他原因(our desire for better health, our wish to appear cultivated, and even a longing for lost purity)。

　　76. What do we know about Iceberg Water from the passage?

　　A) It is a kind of iced water.

　　B) It is just plain tap water.

　　C) It is a kind of bottled water.

　　D) It is a kind of mineral water.(C)

　　本題問從文章可知Iceberg Water指的是什么。

　　文章在開頭即提到了Iceberg Water，講到它在北美的人氣達到了新的高度，其源頭是取自取自加拿大紐芬蘭的冰川。從全篇來看，本文以瓶裝水為論述的核心，說明其在當今社會的火爆程度，這與開頭所述Iceberg Water人氣達到新高的敘述意義一致。而在提到Iceberg Water之后的第二段，文章緊接著介紹了一位瓶裝水專業人士對瓶裝水流行原因的看法。由此來看，Iceberg Water很可能是一種瓶裝水，文章以它來開頭有引出論題的作用。

　　A說是一種冰水，B說是一種普通自來水，C說是一種瓶裝水，D說是一種礦物質水。

　　C是正確答案。

　　77. By saying “My dog could tell the difference between bottled and tap water” (Line 4 Para. 2), von Wiesenberger wants to convey the message that ________.

　　A) plain tap water is certainly unfit for drinking

　　B) bottled water is clearly superior to tap water

　　C) bottled water often appeals more to dogs taste

　　D) dogs can usually detect a fine difference in taste

　　這句話的意義必須結合上下文來理解。這句話出現在第二段，這一段的意思是：

　　Wiesenberger享有飲用水大師的稱號，且是北美不多的幾位飲用水評論家之一。他小時候曾居住在意大利、法國和瑞士較大的城市中，在這些地方，人們每天都要消費瓶裝水。他在那時就訂了一份飲用水雜志，留心記下他最喜愛的瓶裝水牌子。“我的狗都能分出瓶裝水跟自來水的區別。”他說道。

　　從這段描述中可以看出，這位飲用水大師自小就對瓶裝水興趣濃厚，甚至為了追蹤最喜愛的牌子特意保有一份水雜志。作者的這些敘述顯然傳達了一個信息：瓶裝水可謂是此人的至愛。那么在這種隱含意義下，他所說的瓶裝水與自來水的區別決不真正是二者的實在區別，而是要突出瓶裝水要優于自來水;連狗都能分辨這種區別，這是一種夸張說法，意在表明二者的差距之大。

　　A， 自來水當然不適合飲用。從全文給出的信息來看，自來水是適合引用的，句意本身錯誤，同時也不符合該句的真實含義。

　　B， 瓶裝水顯而易見地要優于自來水。此說法與前面的分析一致，是正確的。

　　C，瓶裝水常常更符合狗的口味。Wiesenberger提到狗只是為了起到夸張的效果，并不是瓶裝水真的更符合狗的口味。

　　D，狗一般能靠味覺發現細微的差別。此項犯的錯誤與C一樣。

　　78. The “fancier brands” (Line 3 Para. 5) refers to ________.

　　A) tap water from the Thames RierB) famnus gins not sold in ordinary stres

　　C) PepsC聯’s Aquafana andCocamCml聡’S Dasani

　　D) expenive bottled wate2 職thimpressive nams

　　題目問fancie brands指的是俀么。

　　Fancir應該是fancy的比較級，fancy有“別臔、價格高昂的”的意思，frand指品牌。理覣它凷體的含義還是要看上下斏。耍#P#

　　這個詞組出現在A restaurant’s typical mark-up on wine is 100 to 150 percent, whereas on bottled water it’s often 300 to 500 percent. But since water is much cheaper than wine, and many of the fancier brands aren’t available in stores, most diners don’t notice or care一句中，意思是：飯店一般把酒價標高100%到150%，而瓶裝水常常會達到300%到500%。不過水要比酒便宜得多，同時許多fancier brands在商店里買不到，因此用餐者就沒有注意或者并不在乎。

　　從最后一句結論可以推測，fancier brands很有可能是更貴的水品牌，因為如果這些奢侈牌子在商店里買不到，人們就無從知道它的合理價格，即便到了飯店以高價挨宰(標高500%)，他們也并不知情，也就注意不到或不會在乎。只有這樣邏輯才能通順。四個選項分別是：

　　A， 源自泰晤士河的自來水

　　B， 不在普通商店中出售的名牌葡萄酒。

　　C，百事的`Aquafina和可口可樂的Dasani。

　　D，擁有別致名字的昂貴瓶裝水。

　　四個選項中D符合上文的分析。

　　79. Why are some restaurants turning up the pressure to sell bottled water?

　　A) Bottled water brings in huge profits.

　　B) Competition from the wine industry is intense.

　　C) Most diners find bottled water affordable.

　　D) Bottled water satisfied diners’ desire to fashionable

　　首先了解turn up the pressure的意思，turn up有“提高”的意思，如turn up the radio，提高收音機的音量。turn up the pressure就是加大壓力、加大力度的`意思。這樣題意就是“一些飯店加大力度售賣瓶裝水的原因是什么”。

　　文中有As a result, some restaurants are turning up the pressure to sell bottled water一句，as a result是“所以、因此”的意思，說明前文已經說明了加大力度的原因，答案需要到前一段去找。

　　上一段首先提到飯店對銷售品牌瓶裝水的利潤垂涎三尺(restaurateurs salivate over the profits)，而后具體說明了其之所以能實現超額利潤的原因：消費者對瓶裝水合理價格水平一無所知。由此可以推斷，飯店大力售賣瓶裝水的原因就應該是高額利潤的誘使。

　　A，瓶裝水可以帶來巨額利潤。符合上面的分析。

　　B，來自酒業的競爭十分激烈。文中提到酒業(typical mark-up on wine is 100 to 150 percent)只是為了突出瓶裝水的利潤豐厚，沒有提到二者存在競爭問題。

　　C，大多數就餐者認為瓶裝水的價格可以接受。文中提到就餐者對價格的反應時是這樣敘述的：most diners don’t notice or care，意思是他們不知道瓶裝水的真實價格，因此沒有注意或不在乎。但飯店老板不會因為自己商品的價格可以被消費者接受而熱衷于售賣，這個價格中含有暴利才是原因。

　　D，瓶裝水滿足了就餐者喜歡時尚的需求。文章最后一段解釋了瓶裝水流行的其他原因，其中有它滿足了our wish to appear cultivated，與D的說法稍有接近，但這是從消費者的角度進行的分析，不是飯店老板熱衷于售賣瓶裝水的原因。

　　80. According to passage, why is bottled water so popular?

　　A) It is much cheaper than wine.

　　B) It is considered healthier.

　　C) It appeals to more cultivated people.

　　D) It is more widely promoted in the market.

　　題目問根據文意瓶裝水為什么如此流行。

　　文章的最后一段對此做出了說明，直譯如下：

　　不算其銷售方式，飲用瓶裝水能夠滿足我們對健康的更高追求，滿足對更有教養的形象的追求，甚至對水的純凈度的追求。

　　從這段話可以看出，銷售方式(how it’s sold，即第五六、段的分析)是瓶裝水流行的一個因素，此外就是文末的三種因素：更高健康、更好形象和純凈度。

　　A認為原因是瓶裝水比酒便宜。這是第五段的內容：water is much cheaper than wine，不過這里提到水更便宜是為了解釋人們為何沒有注意到瓶裝水價格的虛高。

　　B認為原因是人們認為它更為健康，符合另三種因素的第一個：更高健康。

　　C認為原因是它能吸引更有教養的人。文中所說的對更有教養的形象的追求(our wish to appear cultivated)，是指一個人企望比以前的自己顯得更有教養，而不是瓶裝水對更有教養的人群的吸引力比對一般教養的人吸引力更大。

　　D認為原因是它在市場中得到了更大的推廣。瓶裝水得到了更大的推廣，其意思等同于瓶裝水流行，一個句子不能用它本身來解釋本身。

　　The Attitude toward Crisis

　　In our life, there is not always plain road and we may confront various crises such as disease, accident, lost the way and so on. Toward these crises, different people have different attitudes.

　　Some people choose to face it directly and bravely. They believe that the difficulties and cries, taking disease as example, can be defeat by their intelligence and bravery. Also the advanced high-tech can help them come over the crisis. While the others think that it is so big that the crisis can not be solved. So they give up to fight against it and yield without any effort.

　　As for me, we must face the crisis bravely and fight against it. For example, some students failed in one exam. Some cried and sad, but some one made up his mind to study hard from then on. I stand on the side of the latter. Only can you change the sorrow into power, you can be winner before the crisis.

　　Passage4

　　FEED THE BRAIN,BUT LESS SUGAR

　　While no single factor has been identified as the cause of Alzheimers it is thought that lifestyle choices,such as diet exercise and sleep habits can all have a significant impact on the fact,research by the Albert Einstein College of Medicine has,so far. suggested that lifestyle changes related to healthy ageing looks more promising than rug studies.

　　For the last decade or so,researchers have been exploring the link between our modern diets and the increasing prevalence of Alzheimer’s, specifically the connection between sugar and the disease. A study published in the New England Journal of Medicine demonstrated that even a mild elevation of blood sugar is associated with an elevated risk of dementia.

　　Previous research had shown a higher risk for diabetics in developing Alzheimers more recent research has shed further light on this ,finding an intricate link between insulin resistance and the bodies produce insulin that is necessary for the survival of brain cells,but this process goes awry when a toxic protein ,called ADDL,removes receptors form these cells and renders them insulin resistant. As the ADDLs accumulate,our memory can begin to deteriorate.

　　So,what should we be feeding our bodies ti give our brain the best change? A diet low in sugar and carbohydrates and high in healthy fats is essential. Opt for real food above processed options and try to keep added sugar levels to a minimum(ideally between 15 and 25 grams a day).Add plenty of good fats like avocados,raw nuts and coconut and other nut oils to the diet and try a high-quality probiotic to optimise the flora in the gut.

　　76. Which of the following is NOT mentioned as one of the causes of Alzheimers?

　　. B. Exercise habits.

　　【答案】C

　　【解析】細節理解題。由第一段第一句可知，“生活方式的選擇，如飲食，鍛煉和睡眠習慣， 都可能對這種風險產生重大影響。”，所以正確選項是C。

　　does the sentence “lifestyle change related to healthy ageing look more promising than drug studies”imply?

　　A. We should research more on drugs.

　　should research more on lifestyle changes related to healthy ageing.

　　should promise to have more drug studies.

　　should promise to change lifestyles of whose health is ageing.

　　【答案】B

　　【解析】細節理解題。由第一段可知，“與健康老齡化相關的生活方式的改變看起來‘比藥物研究史更有前途’”，也就是說，生活方式對健康老齡化的影響要比藥物影響大，所以正確選項是B。

　　78. What’s the relationship between blood sugar and risk of dementia according to Paragraph 2?

　　have positive correction. have negative correction.

　　have no relationship. have no obvious relationship.

　　【答案】A

　　【解析】細節埋解題。由第二段中“A study published in the New England Jourmal of Medicine demonstrated that even a mild elevation of blood sugar is associated with an elevated risk of dementia.發表在新英格蘭醫學雜志上的一項研究表明， 即使是輕微的血糖升高也會增加患癡呆癥的風險。”可知，血糖升高對老年癡呆產生的是正相關，即“血糖越高，患老年癡呆的風險越大”，所以正確選項是A。

　　79. Which of the following statement about insulinis TRUE?

　　can help the survival of brain cells.

　　can resist the aging of brain cells.

　　can help resits ADDLs.

　　can deteriorate our memory.

　　【答案】A

　　【解析】細節理解題由第三段的第二句可知，“.Our bodies produce insulin that is necessary for the survival of brain cells, 我們的身體產生的胰島素對于腦細胞的存活是必要的”，所以正確選項是A。

　　following are all good fats EXCEPT

　　nuts C. coconut

　　【答案】D

　　【解析】細節理解題。最后一段“Add plenty of good fats like avocados,raw nuts and coconut and other nut oils...在飲食中加入大量的有益脂肪，如鱷梨、生堅果、椰子和其他堅果油”可知，鱷梨，生堅果，椰子都屬了有益脂肪。

　　Passage 4

　　【譯文】：

　　喂飽大腦，但少吃糖

　　雖然沒有任何一個因素被認為是導致阿爾茨病的原因，但人們認為，生活方式的選擇，如飲食，鍛煉和睡眠習慣，都可能對這種風險產生重大影響。事實上，到目前為止，阿爾伯特愛因斯坦醫學院的研究表明，與健康老齡化相關的生活方式的改變看起來“比藥物研究更有前途”。

　　在過去十年左右的時間里，研究人員一直在探索現代飲食與老年癡呆日益增長之間的聯系，特別是糖與疾病之間的聯系。發表在新英格蘭醫學雜志上的一項研究表明，即使是輕微的血糖升高也會增加患癡呆癥的風險。

　　先前的研究已經表明，糖尿病患者在阿爾茨海茨病的發展中有更高的風險，最近的研究進一步揭示了這一點，發現了胰島素抵抗和大腦之間的復雜聯系。我們的身體產生的胰島素對于腦細胞的存活是必要的，但是當個叫做ADDL的有毒蛋白質從這些細胞中移除受體并使它們產生胰島素抵抗時，這個過程就會出錯。隨著ADDL累積，我們的記憶可能開始惡化。

　　那么，我們應該給我們的身體提供什么來給我們的大腦帶來最好的改變呢?低糖、低碳水化合物和高健康脂肪的飲食見必不可少的。選擇“真正的”食物高于加工的選擇，并盡量將糖的含量保持在最低限度(理想情況下是每天15到25克)。在飲食中加入大量的有益脂肪，如鱷梨，生堅果、椰子和其他堅果油，并嘗試高質量的益生菌來優化腸道菌群。

　　During recent years, people, have attached more and more importance. to lifelong are

　　learning at school and they will continue their learning in society after , many old people are also trying to learn all kinds of new ideas and learning makes a great difference to all aspects of life.

　　There are a variety of reasons that can account for this phenomenon, and I explore only a few of the most significant ones here. First of all, it is well known that lifelong learning can help us acquire a lot of useful knowledge. which always plays a vital role in our life. Whats more，there is D0denying that competition in todays society is so fierce that everyone should learn all kinds of knowledge to meet its demands. In the end, we must admit that we can set a good example to our children and encourage them to study hard if we insist on lifelong leaning.

　　As for as I am concerned,lifelong learning is a good phenomenon from which we can benefit a lot. It should be advocated vigorously, As individuals, we should pay enough attention to it, seize every opportunity to learn, and make it bring much more influence to us.

　　參考范文2: On Lifelong Learning

　　As the old saying goes,“Its never too late to learn” , we should always realize that the most important things in this society is keeping by doing this can we keep up with the pace of the time.

　　It is necessary for people of all ages to learn. First, with the development of science and is updated every day. If one doesn’t want to learn, his knowledge will be out of date. Second,learning is an experience of seeking,gaining and owning. Its great fun to by learning can one find the joy in , his life will be a boring one.

　　Questions 20 to 23 are based on the following passage.

　　Viktor Frankl， a famous Jewish psychiatrist(精神病醫生）, wrote his bestselling 1946 book Mans Search for Meaning in nine days about his experiences in Nazi concentration camps. Frankl concluded that the difference between thoseprisoners who had lived and those who had died came down to one thing ： Meaning, an insight he came to early in life.

　　In 1991, the Library of Congress listed Man5s Search for Meaning as one of the 10 most influential books in the United States. It has sold millions of copies worldwide. Now, over twenty years later, the book s ideas—its emphasis on meaning, the value of suffering, and responsibility to something greater than the self—seem to be at odds with our culture,which is more interested in the pursuit of individual happiness than in the search for meaning. But happiness cannot bepursued. It follows. One must have a reason to be happy,”Franklwrote.

　　According to Gallup, the happiness levels of Americans are at a four-year high. Gallup also reports that nearly 60%of all Americans today feel happy, without a lot of stress or worry. On the other hand, according to the Center for DiseaseControl, about 4 out of 10 Americans have not discovered a satisfying life purpose. 40% either do not think their liveshave a clear sense of purpose or are neutral about whether their lives have purpose. Nearly a quarter of Americans do nothave a strong sense of what makes their lives meaningful.

　　Research has shown that having purpose and meaning in life increases overall well-being and life satisfaction, improves mental and physical health, and decreases the chances of depression. On top of that, the single-minded pursuit ofhappiness is leaving people less happy, according to recent research.

　　20. According to Paragraph 1, we know that Viktor Frankl_____________ .

　　A. wrote his early life experience as a soldier

　　B. lost his hope of seeking the meaning of life

　　C. spent nine days in Nazi concentration camps

　　D. survived with the spiritual support of life meaning

　　21. The book’sideas dont agree with American culture because Americans are more interested in searching for____.

　　A. happiness B. meaning C. suffering D. stress

　　22. The percentage of Americans who don’t have a satisfying life purposeis______________ .

　　A. 25% B. 60% C. 40% D. 10%

　　23. Which of the following is the idea the author intends to convey?

　　A. Mental health is the most important factor in life.

　　B. Pursuit of happiness is the most important thing in life.

　　C. Physical health can be improved if you are happy.

　　D. Realizing the meaning of life is important to happiness.

　　Questions 24 to 27 are based on the following passage.

　　If you’ve ever lost your wallet (錢包), then you know that it’s a very terribleexperience. Most people keep a lotintheir wallets. That’s where they keep their drivers license, their credit cards, and all kinds of other important things. Of course，that’s also where most of us keep our cash.

　　We all need cash in our lives. However, something called digital currency is slowly replacing cash. A currency is a kind of money. Usually, we use currency when we talk about a country’s money. For example, the UK is the pound, and the USA is the dollar. If something is digital, it only exists on a computer. So “digital currency” means money thatonly existson computers.

　　Lots of people have digital currency accounts. They use a credit card to change their real money into digital money, and then the money goes into the digital currency account. A lot ofpeople wonder, “Why in the worldshould I change myreal moneyinto digital money? ” This is a fair question, but there’s a good answer. If you want to buy something online, then you usually have to use digital currency. For example， if you’re in China and you want to buy something in Canada, then you’ll have to pay with digital currency.

　　Many people still don’t trust digital currency. Some people think that if they can’thold their money in their hand, then it doesn’t seem real. These people don’t feel comfortable when they see numbers on a computer screen. The computertells them that their money is safe, but these people don’tfeel safe. Another problem is security. There are hackers all overtheworld. A hacker is a person who steals computer information. If a hacker gets the password of your digital currency account, he or she can steal your money.

　　You have to decide whether or not you trust this new invention. Just remember one thing： If you want to buy something online, then you probably won’thave achoice. You’ll have to use digital money.

　　24. The word “fair”（ Para. 3) is closest in meaning to__________ .

　　A. beautiful B. equal C. pleasant D. reasonable

　　25. Which of the following is probably a hacker according to the passage?

　　A. A person who uses a computer to steal things.

　　B. A person who composes computer programs.

　　C. A person who uses a computer to buy things.

　　D. A person who owns a lot of digital currency.

　　26. How do those who don’t trust digital currency think about money?

　　A. The money on a computer screen is safe.

　　B. The money in their hand is real.

　　C. Real money is worth more than digital money.

　　D. Real money and digital money are the same.

　　27. What does the passage mainly talk about?

　　A. Hacker problems in the world. B. Currencies used in particular countries.

　　C. A new kind of money. D. Safety of digital currency.

　　Questions 28 to 31 are based on the following passage.

　　Zoos are hugely popular attractions for adults and children alike. But are they actually a good thing?

　　Critics of zoos would argue that animals often suffer physically and mentally by being enclosed (封閉). Even the best artificial environments can^ come close to matching the space and freedom that animals have in their natural environments. Thisenclosure causes many zoo animals to become stressed or mentally ill. Capturing animals in the wild also causes much suffering by splitting up families. Some zoos make animals behave unnaturally. For example, in some parksdolphins (海豚)are forced to perform tricks, who may die decades earlier than their wild relatives. And some even try to kill themselves.

　　On the other hand, by bringing people and animals together, zoos have the potential to educate the public aboutconservation issues and inspire people to protect animals and their natural environments. Some zoos provide a safe environment for animals which have been mistreated by people, or pets which have been abandoned. Zoos also carry out importantresearch into subjects like animal behavior and how to treat illnesses. One of the most important modern functions of zoos issupporting international breeding(繁殖) programmes, particularly for endangered species(種群). In the wild， some ofthe rarest species have difficulty in finding mates and breeding. A good zoo will enable these species to live and breed insecure environments.

　　So, are zoos good for animals or not? Perhaps it all depends on how well individual zoos are managed, and the benefits of zooscan surely outweigh their harmful effects. However, it is understandable that many people believe imprisoninganimalsfor any reason is simply wrong.

　　28. The expression “artificial environments” (Para. 2)is used in contrast to_______________.

　　A. natural environments B. some zoos

　　Questions 32 to 35 are based on the following passage.

　　How many times, when finding yourself in a difficult situation, have you heard something like, “You just need to go somewhere, change your environment, and meet new people.” Upon hearing this, we think such advice can be annoying： going through hard times, you rather expect help, sympathy, or at least something more practical, rather than“You know， you should travel”. However, the surprising truth is that this is probably one of the most useful and practical pieces of advice you can get.

　　Of course, you cannot abandon everything and set off to go on a world trip. All of us have duties, responsibilities, debts, connections. However, the advice to travel does not necessarily imply something like departing to Nepal and living among monks(僧侶)for years. In fact, small but regular journeys are available almost to everyone, and the positiveeffects they can have on your mental condition and your ability to cope with difficulties are significant.

　　When you are stressed， your thoughts obviously cannot be positive and optimistic(樂觀的).So, whether you want it or not, you will view your life situation from a rather pessimistic perspective(悲觀的視角). However， when you board a plane and fly overseas, you almost immediately start to feel your problems fade. “Out of sight, out of mind,’’ as the saying goes. Of course, I am not saying the easiest way to feel better is to escape from problems; I rather mean that taking a break and allowing yourself to breathe in some fresh air can give you a new perspective. Having a good rest is a necessary condition of any recovery, and your mind definitely needs rest from time to time.

　　Speaking of new perspectives, when travelling, you will inevitably meet a lot of new people. Some of them will become friends of yours; some will remain strangers. Psychologists have known that perhaps the most honest and sincere communication often occurs between strangers； this is called "the companion effect”. Useit to your advantage. Whether youneed advice, help, or a person who would quietly listen to you as you share your hardships, there is no better opportunity to get all this from strangers while travelling. Travelling can not solve your problems but will help you recover from yourmental wounds, get rid of the excessive stress, and give you the skills to deal with your hardships as you return home.

　　32. While in a difficult situation, people think the suggestion “You just need to gosomewhere”______..

　　A. annoying B. surprising C. practical D. useful

　　33. What does the advice to travel really mean in this passage?

　　A. Finding a temple and living with the monks.

　　B. Giving up your duties and departing to Nepal.

　　C. Starting a small journey and getting yourself refreshed.

　　D. Forgetting everything and starting a trip around the world.

　　34. What does the word “ it ” （ Para. 4) refer to?

　　A. A trip. B. The communication. C. A new perspective. D. The companion effect.

　　35. What is the probable title for this passage?

　　A. Sincere Communication Is a Way Out of Problems

　　B. Travelling Offers New Perspectives in Life Situation

　　C. Going Through Hard Times Needs Help and Sympathy

　　D. Travelling Is the Best Way to Escape from Problems

　　Passage One

　　All the housewives who went to the new supermarket had one great ambition: to be the lucky customer who did not have to pay for her shopping. For this was what the notice just inside the entrance promised. It said: “Remember, once a week, one of our customers gets free goods. This May Be Your Lucky Day!”

　　For several weeks Mrs. Edwards hoped, like many of her friends, to be the lucky customer. Unlike her friends, she never gave up hoping. The cupboards in kitchen were full of things which she did not need. Her husband tried to advise her against buying things but failed. She dreamed of the day when the manager of the supermarket would approach her and say: “Madam, this is Your Lucky Day. Everything in your basket is free.”

　　One Friday morning, after she had finished her shopping and had taken it to her car, she found that she had forgotten to buy any tea. She dashed back to the supermarket, got the tea and went towards the cash-desk. As she did so, she saw the manager of the supermarket approach her. “Madam,” he said, holding out his hand, “I want to

　　congratulate you! You are our lucky customer and everything you have in your basket is free!”

　　61. The housewives learnt about the of free goods _______.

　　Passage Two

　　Deep inside a mountain near Sweetwater in East. Tennessee is a body of water known as the Lost Sea. It is listed by the Guinness Book of Would Records as the world’s largest underground lake. The Lost Sea is part of an extensive and historic cave system called Craighead Caverns.

　　The caverns have been known and used since the days of the Cherokee Indian nation. The cave expands into a series of huge rooms from a small opening on the side of the mountain. Approximately one mile from the entrance, in a room called “The Council Room,” many Indian artisfacts have been found. Some of the items discovered include pottery, arrowheads, weapons, and jewelry.

　　For many years there were persistent rumors of a large underground lake somewhere in a cave, but it was not discovered until 1905. In that year, a thirteen-year-old boy named Ben Sands crawled through a small opening three hundred feet underground. He found himself in a large cave half filled with water.

　　Today tourists visit the Lost Sea and ride far out onto it in glass-bottomed boats powered by electric motors. More than thirteen acres of water have been mapped out so far and still no end to the lake has been found. Even though teams of divers have tried to explore the Lost Sea, the full extent of it is still unknown.

　　66. The Lost Sea is unique because it is ________.

　　A. part of a historical cave system

　　B. the biggest underground lake in the world

　　C. listed in the Guinness Book of World Records

　　D. the largest body of water in Tennessee

　　C. Ben Sands. D. Scientists.

　　69. What was found in “The Council Room”?

　　A. A small natural opening. B. A large cave.

　　C. Another series of rooms. D. Many old Indian objects.

　　70. It can be inferred from the passage that the Craighead Caverns presently serve as __

　　A. an underground testing site B. an Indian meeting ground

　　C. a tourist attraction D. a motor boat race course

　　Passage Three

　　Generations of Americans have been brought up to believe that a good breakfast is one life’s essentials. Eating breakfast at the start of the day, we have all been told, and told again, is as necessary as putting gasoline in the family car before starting a trip.

　　But for many people the thought of food first thing in the morning is by no means a pleasure. So despite all the efforts, they still take no breakfast. Between 1977 and 1983, the latest year for which figures are available, the number of people who didn’t have breakfast, increased by 33 percent.

　　For those who feel pain of guilt about not eating breakfast, however, there is some good news. Several studies in the last few years indicate that, for adults especially, there may be nothing wrong with omitting breakfast. “Going without breakfast does not affect performance,” said Arrold E. Bender, former professor of the nutrition at Queen Elizabeth College in London, “nor does giving people breakfast improve performance.”

　　Scientific evidence linking breakfast to better health or better performance is surprisingly inadequate, and most of the recent work involves children, not adults, “The literature”, says one researcher, Dr. Erresto at the University of Texas, “is poor”.

　　71. The latest year for which figures could be obtained is _______.

　　A. the year the author wrote the article B. 1977

　　C. any year between 1997 and 1983 D. 1983

　　72. For those who do not take breakfast, the good news is that _______.

　　A. several studies have been done in the past few years

　　B. the omission of breakfast does no harm to one’s health

　　C. adults have especially made studies in this field

　　D. eating little in the morning is good for health

　　73. “…nor does giving people breakfast improve performance” means ______.

　　A. anyone without breakfast does improve his performance

　　B. not giving people breakfast improve performance

　　C. having breakfast does not improve performance, either

　　D. people having breakfast do improve their performance

　　74. The word “literature” in the last sentence refers to _______.

　　A. stories, poems, plays, etc. B. written works on a particular subject

　　C. any printed material D. the modern literature of America

　　75. What is implied but NOT stated by the author is that _______.

　　A. breakfast does not affect performance

　　B. Dr.Erresto is engaged in research work at an institution of higher learning

　　C. not eating breakfast might affect the health of children

　　D. Professor Bender once taught college courses in nutrition in London

　　Passage Four

　　About 35% of all high school graduates in America continue their education in an institution of higher learning. The word college is used to refer to either a college or a university. These institutions offer four-year programs that lead to a Bachelor of Arts (B.A.) or Bachelor Science

　　(B.S.) degree. Some students attend a junior college (providing only a two-year program) for one to two years before entering a four-year college as a sophomore (二年級生) or junior (三年級生).

　　It is generally easier to be accepted at a state university than at a private one. Most private schools require strict entrance examinations and a high grade point average (GPA), as well as specific college prep classes in high school. Private schools cost considerably more than state colleges and famous private schools are very expensive. Poorer students can sometimes attend, however, by earning scholarships. Some college graduates go on to earn advanced masters or doctoral degrees in grad (graduate) school. Occupations in certain fields such as law or medicine require such advanced studies.

　　Since college costs are very high, most students work at part-time jobs. Some have full-time jobs and go to school part-time. Often some will take five or more years to complete a four-year program because of money / job demands on their time.

　　While the college and work demands take up the great part of a student’s time, most still enjoy social activities. Sports, dances, clubs, movies, and plays are all very popular. However, gathering together for long, philosophical talks at a favorite meeting place on or near the university is probably the most popular activity.

　　76. College education is _______ in America.

　　A. quite common B. very rare

　　C. something difficult D. almost impossible

　　77. Which of the following is NOT required for entering most private schools.

　　A. entrance examinations B. taking part in many activities

　　C. GPA D. college prep classes

　　78. How can poor students attend private schools?

　　A. Only by working at part-time jobs. B. Only by working at full-time jobs.

　　C. Only by earning scholarships. D. All of above.

　　79. The American college students like to _______ most of all.

　　A. discuss problems on philosophy B. play balls

　　C. earn enough money D. go to the cinemas or theatres

　　80. The best title for this passage is _______.

　　A. Part-time jobs B. American college

　　C. Popular activity D. A new system

　　In Money Everything?

　　I don’t think money is everything, but we can’t do without it. Fox example, money can’t buy us happiness and a good education. And for another example, money can’t buy us good health and a long life. But we can not live without money. We need it for our daily necessities such as food, clothes and transportation. What’s more, we need it to live a better life. In short, we should learn the value of money and make the most of its advantages
