Part Ⅱ Reading Comprehension (35 minutes)
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 marked A), B),C) and D). You should decided on the best choice and mark the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet with a single line through the center.   Passage One ?
Questions 21 to 25 are based on the following passage. ? There are many ways of defining success. It is accurate to say that each of ushas our own concept of success to the extent that each of us is responsible for setting our own goals and determining whether we have met these goals satisfactorily. Because each of us possesses unique differences in genetic ability and favorable environments in which to express these abilities, it is necessarily truethat we must define success broadly.?
  For some people, simply being able to live their life with a minimum of misery and suffering is considered a success. Think of the peace of mind of the poor shepherd who tends his sheep, enjoys his frugal life with his family in the beauty of nature, and who is respected because he does a good job of achieving the goals expected of and accepted by him and his society. On the other hand, it seems that even though some people appear to be rich in material possessions, many
of them seem to be miserable and consider themselves unsuccessful when judged by their own goals of success. Because not all ventures can be successful, one should not set unrealistic goals for achieving success, but if one has self-confidence it would be unfortunate to set one’s goals at too low a level of achievement. ?
 A wise counselor once said to a young man who was experiencing frustration with his own professional success: “You do not have to set your goal to reach the moon in order to have success in traveling. Sometimes one can be very successful merely by taking a walk in the park, or riding the subway downtown,” The counselor added, “You have not really failed and spoiled your chances for success until you have been unsuccessful at something you really like, and to which you have given your best effort.”?
21. In the first paragraph, the author implies that ____ is essential in achieving success.?
A) ability and goals ?

Questions 26 to 30 are based on the following passage. ?
Friendship is one of the basic bonds between human beings. While the characteristics of friendship might vary from one country to another, people from all cultures not only enjoy friends but need them.?
Many studies have shown that teenagers who have no friends often suffer from psychological disorders. It has been shown that teenagers, perhaps more than anyother age group, need companionship and a sense of belonging. The negative cons
equences of loneliness have also been observed among the elderly. The death of aspouse often leaves a widow or a widower totally bereft. If, however, they are surrounded by friends and relatives and if they are able to articulate their feelings, they are more likely to recover from their grief.?
“No man is an island.” In other words, we are all parts of society. We all need the love, admiration, respect and moral support of other people. If we are fortunate, our friends will provide us with all of these necessary aspects of life.
? As most people observe, there are many levels of friendship. The degree or intensity of friendship varies depending on the personality of the individuals involved and the context of the relationships. Extroverts enjoy being surrounded by many people whereas introverts are perhaps content with fewer but more intense friendships.?Everyone is not equally open with all their friends. The degree of intimacy is determined by many factors. Close friends can be formed at any stage in one’s life but they are usually very rare. Not very many people have more than a few really close friends. Irrespective of the level of intimacy, all friendships are based on reciprocity, honesty and a certain amount of love and affection.?
26. The second paragraph implies that ____.?
A) teenagers without friends will suffer from psychological problems?
B) a widow or a widower will die very soon without companionships?

A) can be easily formed when one is young?
B) cannot be long-lasting?
C) are not rare for everyone?
D) are rare for most people?
30.The word “irrespective”(Last Sentence, Para5) means____.?
A) not respecting ?
B) dishonoring ?
C) regardless?
D) considering? Passage Three ?
Questions 31 to 35 are based on the following passage. ?
If you want to stay young, sit down and have a good think. This is the research finding of a team of Japanese doctors,who say that most of our brains are not getting enough exercise-and as a result, we are aging unnecessarily soon. ?
Professor Taiju Matsuzawa wanted to find out why otherwise healthy farmers in northern Japan appeared to be losing their ability to think and reason at a relatively early age. With a team of colleagues at Tokyo National University, he set about measuring brain volumes of a thousand people of different ages and varying occupations. ?Computer technology enabled the researchers to obtain precise measurements ofthe volume of the front and side sections of the brain, which relate to intellect and emotion, and determine the human character. The rear(后方的) section of the brain, which controls functions like eating and breathing, does not contract with age, and one can continue living without intellectual on emotional faculties or functions.?Contraction of front and side parts—as cells die off—was observed in some subjects in their thirties, but it was still not evident in some sixty-and seventy-year-olds.Matsuzawa concluded from his tests that there is a simple remedy to t
he contraction normally associated with age—using the head.?
The findings show in general terms that contraction of the brain begins sooner in the country than in the towns. Those least at risk says Matsuzawa, are lawyers, followed by university professors and doctors, white collar workers
doing routine work in government offices are, however, as likely to have shrinking brains as the farm worker, bus driver and shop assistant.?Matsuzawa’s findings show that thinking can prevent the brain from shrinking.Blood must circulate properly in the head to supply the fresh oxygen the brain cells need. “The best way to maintain good blood circulation is through using the brain,” he says. “Think hard and engage in conversation. Don’t rely on pocket
calculators.”?
31. The Japanese doctors find out that____.?
A) our brains are aging too early?

D) the latest development of computer technology. ?
33.According to the third paragraph, ____.?
A) the volume of the side section of the brain determines the human character?
B) the front section of the brain controls function of eating ?
C) the front section of the brain does not contract with age?
D) human can live without intellectual on emotional functions.?

Passage Four ?
Questions 36 to 40 are based on the following passage. ?
It is not often realized that women held a high place in southern European societies in the 10th and 11th centuries. As a wife, the woman was protected by the setting up of a dowry (嫁妆). Admittedly, the purpose of this was to protect her against the risk of desertion, but in reality its function in the social and family life of the time was much more important. The dowry was the wife’s right to receive a tenth of all her husband’s property. The wife had the right to with hold consent, in all transactions the husband would make, and more than just a right; the documents show that she enjoyed a real power of decision, equal to that of her husband. In no case do the documents indicate any degree of difference in the legal status of husband and wife.?
The wife shared in the management of her husband’s personal property, but the opposite was not always true. Women seemed perfectly prepared to defend their own inheritance against husbands who tried to exceed their rights, and on occasion they showed a fine fighting spirit. A case in point is that of Maria Vivas. Having agreed with her husband Miro to sell a field she had inherited, for the needs of the household, she insisted on compensation. None being offered, she succeeded in dragging her husband to the scribe to have a contract duly drawn up assigning her a piece of land from Miro’s personal inheritance. The unfortunate husband was obliged to agree, as the contract says, “for the sake of peace.” Either through the dowry or through being hot-tempered, the wife knew how to win herself, with the context of the family, a powerful economic position.?
36. Originally, the purpose of a dowry is to ____.?
A) give her the right to receive all her husband’s property?
B) help her to enjoy a higher position in the family?
C) protect a woman against the risk of desertion?
D) both A and C?
37. According to the passage, the legal status of the wife in marriage was____.?
A) higer than that of a single woman?
B) higher than that of her husband?
C) lower than that of her husband?
D) the same as that of her husband?
38. Why does the author give us the example of Maria Vivas??
A) To show that the wife shared in the management of her husband’s personal property.?
B) To show that the wife can defend her own inheritance. ?
C) To prove that women have powerful position. ?
D) To illustrate how women win her property.?
39.The compensation Maria Vivas gets for the field is ____.?
A) some of the land Miro had inherited?
B) a tenth of Miro’s land?
C) money for household expenses?
D) money form Miro’s inheritance?
40. The author’s attitude towards Maria Vivas is ____.?

In recent years there have been nearly 5,000 official competitors and it takes three whole minutes for the crowd of runners just to cross the starting line.?
You may have heard the story of the Greek runner, Pheidippides. He ran from Marathon to Athens to deliver the news of the great victory 2,500 years ago. No one knows how long it took him to run the distance. But the story tells us that he died of the effort. Today no one will die in a Marathon race. But at the finish line, we see what this race is about; not being first, but finishing. The real victory is not over one’s fellow runners, but over one’s own body.

Should Smoking Be Completely Banned? ?
 

Some people maintain that smoking should be completely banned. In their opinions, smoking is harmful not only to the smokers but also to the people around. Moreover, smoking is a waste of money. When one smokes a cigarette, one is actually burning money.?
Other people do not agree. They believe that smoking helps to sharpen one’s mind and prevents one from sleeping. And smoking does not seem to shorten one’s life since many people who smoke live a long life. Also the government gets a lot of money from cigarette taxes.?
In my view, everyone has the right to choose his/her own way of life, but one does not have the right to impose his way of life on other people. So smoking in public places should be banned but in some areas it can be allowed.? 本套试题测试的语言重点?

Part Ⅱ Reading Comprehension (35 minutes)
Directions: There are 4 passages in this part. Each passage is followed by some
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 center.
?
Passage One?
Questions 11 to 15 are based on the following passage.?
However urban life strikes you, cities worldwide have been growing ever more rapidly. Some of this growth has occurred in the developed world, but the most dramatic increase has been in the Third World. Almost all the world’s population growth over the next 30 years will take place in the cities of developing countries
. By the year 2030, for the first time in history, 60 percent of the world’s people will be living in cities.?
This is actually good news in some ways. “Cities are the fundamental building blocks of prosperity,” says Marc Weiss, chairman of the Prague Institute for Global Urban Development, “ both for the nation and for families.” Industrial and commercial activities in urban areas account for between 50 and 80 percent of the gross domestic product (GDP) in most countries of the world“ there’s the crazy notion that the way to deal with a city’s problems is to keep people out of them,”Weiss continued. “But the problems of the rural life are even more serious than those of the city.” For better or worse, urban-watchers are clear on one point:
The quality of life for most people in the future will be determined by the quality of cities.?Those cities will be bigger than ever. And yet, population numbers by themselves don’t determine a city’s prospects; after all, Addis Ababa, Ethiopia, and Hamburg, Germany, have the same population. Nor is explosive growth necessarily the determining factor. “City problems,” one authority points out, “mostly have to do with weak, ineffective, and usually unrepresentative city governments.”?
11. What is the passage mainly about??
A) Big cities.?
B) City life.?
C) Population.?
D) Gross Domestic Product.?

12. What will happen in the year of 2030??
A) There will be 21 cities having a population of more than 10 million.?
B) Rural area will be extinct.?
C) Most people will live in cities.?
D) The third world will keep abreast with the developed world.?

13. The author most likely agrees that____.?
A) better city, better life?
B) both urban and rural areas have their advantages?
C) the larger population, the faster a city develops?
D) both urban and rural areas have their problems?

14. Which of the following statements is NOT true according to the passage??
A) The developing countries develop faster than the developed countries.?
B) Cities contribute more to the GDP than the villagers.?
C) Some problems are more easily solved in cities than in country.?
D) It’s impossible to solve urban problems by getting people out of cities.?

15. What is implied in the last paragraph??
A) Public services are ineffective.?
B) Cities are increasing too fast.?
C) Population is not linked with development.?
D) Government should be responsible for the problems in the cities.?

Passage Two?
Questions 16 to 20 are based on the following passage.?
Some researchers claim that people’s personalities can be classified by their blood types.?If you have blood type O, you are a leader. When you see something you want, you strive to achieve your goal. You are passionate, loyal, and self-confident, and you are often a trendsetter. Your enthusiasm for projects and goals spreads to others who happily follow your lead. When you want something, you may be ruthless about getting it or blind to how your actions affect others.?Another blood type, A, is a social, “people” person. You like people and work well with them. You are sensitive, patient, compassionate, and affectionate. You are a good peacekeeper because you want everybody to be happy. In a team situation, you resolve conflicts and keep things on a smooth course. Sometimes type As are stubborn and find it different to relax. They may also find it uncomfortable to do things alone.?
People with type B blood are usually individualists who like to do things on their own. You may be creative and adaptable, and you usually say exactly what you mean. Also you can adapt to situations, you may not choose to do so because of your strong independent streak. You may prefer working on your own to being part of a team.?The final blood type is type AB. If you have AB blood, you are a natural entertainer. You draw people to your because of your charm and easygoing nature. ABs are usually calm and controlled, tactful and fair. On the downside, though, they may take too long to make decisions. And they may procrastinate, putting off tasks until the last minute.?
16. The passage is written by means of ____.?
A) enumeration B) process analysis?C) classification D) examplification?
17. People with type O will do the following things except____.?

Passage Three?
Questions 21 to 25 are based on the following passage.?
When death came, it was silent and sudden. On the night of August 21, 1986, a cold and misty blanket of carbon dioxide gas flowed through the valleys that run down from Lake Nyos in northwest Cameroon(喀麦隆). Hugging the ground, and smothered(窒息) more than 1,700 people, many as they slept.?
The region surrounding Lake Nyos is volcanic, and so sulphurous(硫磺的) volcanic gases were initially suspected as the cause of the disaster. But subsequent investigation by teams of scientists dispatched to the remote highland lake suggested that as much as 80 million cubic metres of CO?2, formerly held in solutionin the lake’s depths, has been released explosively at its surface. Such an event, called a limnic(湖泊的) eruption, had been recorded only once before- at nearby Lake Monoun, 35 kilometers from Lake Nyos. That eruption, which killed 37 people in 1984, was kept secret at first, as the Cameroonian authorities had suspected terrorist involvement.?Expeditions to Lake Nyos since the 1986 disaster have allowed researchers to unravel(拆开)the geological process that underlie the lake’s lethal tendencies. Armed with this information, a small group of scientists ands engineers- funded to the tune of $450,000 by the Office of US Foreign Disaster Assistance, with additional help from the French and Cameroonian governments arrived in the are a in January to attempt to “degas” the lake, and so prevent it killing again. The plan is simple - the limited budget and the lack of decent roads into the region mean it has to be. The team will lower a length of high-density polyethylene pipe deep into the lake and pipe CO?2 rich water towards the surface, where the
gas can bubble out on a controlled way.?Most experts agree that degassing the lake is a good idea. But some say there is a small chance that the effort could trigger another limnic eruption and lives at risk. Although villagers surrounding Lake Nyos have been evacuated(撤退) to avoid a repeat of the 1986 catastrophe, farmers and their livestock still venture into the area, lured by its lush pastures.?
21. Why was the death regarded silent??
A) Because it’s quiet after an explosion.?
B) Because the people were killed outright.?
C) Because when it came, the victims were in sleep.?
D) Because it happened suddenly.?
22. What caused the disaster at Lake Nyos??
A) Terrorism.?
B) Volcanic eruption.?
C) Release of CO?2 at a nearby lake.?
D) A limnic eruption at Lake Nyos.?
23. “to degas the lake ” in the third paragraph means ____.?
A) to remove gas from the lake?
B) to inflate gas into the lake?
C) to purify the lake ?
D) to exploit the lake to produce gas?
24. Which of the following is true of the idea of degassing the lake??
A) It was a good idea.?
B) Some scientists veto it.?
C) It’s impossible.?
D) Some farmers still venture back with their livestock.?
25. The passage is mainly about ____.?
A) the causes for a disaster?
B) African volcanic eruptions?
C) how to tame a killer lake?
D) discussion of how to protect the pastures in Africa?

Passage Four?
Questions 26 to 30 are based on the following passage.?
We have waited for more than 340 years for our constitutional and God-given rights. The nations of Asia and Africa are moving with jetlike speed toward gaining political independence, but we still creep at horse-and buggy pace toward gaining a cup of coffee at a lunch counter. Perhaps it is easy for those who have never felt the stinging darts of segregation to say, “Wait.” But when you have seen vicious mobs lynch(处以私刑) your mothers and fathers at will and drown your sisters and brothers at will; when you have seen hate-filled policemen curse, kick, and even kill your black brothers and sisters; when you see the vast majority of your twenty million Negro brothers smothering in and airtight cage of poverty in the midst of an affluent society; when you suddenly find your tongue twisted and your speech stammering(口吃) as you seek to explain to your six-year-old daughter why she cannot go to the public amusement park that has just been advertised on TV, and see tears welling up in her eyes when she is told that Funtown is closed to colored children, and see ominous clouds of inferiority(自卑) beginning to form in her little mental sky, and see her beginning to distort her personality by developing an unconscious bitterness toward white people——then you will understand why we find it difficult to wait. There comes a time when the cup of endurance runs over, and men are no longer willing to be plunged into the abyss of despair. I hope, sirs you can understand our legitimate and unavoidable impatience.?
26. Which of the following best describe the tone of the article??
A) Emotional. B) Factual.?C) Pessimistic. D) Balanced.?

B) To teach how to educate a child.?
C) To defend civil disobedience.?
D) To complain of an unjust law.?
30. The writer might do all of the following things except for ____.
A) lead a bus-boycott?
B) launch a campaign against segregation?
C) write a book entitled as ?Stride Towards Freedom??
D) lead a march to surround the jail?

Part Ⅳ Short Answer Questions (15 Minutes)
Directions: In this part there is a short passage with five questions or incomplete statements. Read the passage carefully. Then answer the questions or incomplete sentences in the fewest possible words. ( not exceeding 10 words )

By the time I was graduating from high school, my parents had done their best to produce an intelligent, obedient daughter, who would know more than the average Chinatown girl and should do better average at a conventional job, her earnings brought home in repayment for their years of child support. Then, they hoped, she would marry a nice Chinese boy and make herself be a good wife, as well as an above-average mother for his children. Chinese custom used to decree that families should “introduce” chosen partners to each other’s children. The groom’s family should pay handsomely to the bride’s family for rearing a well-bred daughter.
They should also pay all bills for a glorious wedding banquet for several hundred guests. Their daughter was longed to the groom’s family and must henceforth seek permission from all persons in his home before returning to her parents for a
visit.?
But having been set upon a new path, I did not oblige my parents with the expected conventional ending. At fifteen, I had moved away from home to work for room and board and a salary of twenty dollars per month. Having found that I could subsist independently, I thought it regrettable to terminate my education. Upon graduating from high school at age of sixteen, I ask my parents to assist me in college expenses. I pleaded with my father, for his years of encouraging me to be above mediocrity in both Chinese and American studies had made me wish for some undefined but brighter future.?
My father was briefly adamant. He must conserve his resources for my oldest brother’s medical training. Thought I desired to continue on above-average course, his material means were insufficient to support that ambition. He added that if I had the talent, I could provide for my own college education. When he had spoken, no discussion was expected. After this edict, no daughter questioned. ?

Section B?
According to the evolutionary theory of sleep, evolution ?(S1)?equipped us with a regular pattern of sleeping and waking. The theory does not ?(S2)?deny that sleep provides some important restorative functions. It merely says that ?(S3)?evolution has programmed us to perform those functions at a time when activity would be ?(S4)?inefficient and possibly dangerous. However, sleep protects us only from the sort of ?(S5)?trouble we might walk into; it does not protect us from trouble that comes looking for us. So we sleep well in a ?(S6)?familiar, safe place, but we sleep lightly, if at all, when we fear that bears will ?(S7)?nose into the tent.(S8) The evolutionary theory accounts well for differences in sleep among creatures.Why do cats, for instance, sleep so much, while horses sleep so little? ?(S9)?Surely cats do not need five times as much repair and restoration as horses do. But cats can afford to have long periods of inactivity because they spend little time eating and are unlikely to be attacked while they sleep. Horses must spend almost
all their waking hours eating, because what they eat is very low in energy value. Moreover, ?(S10)?they cannot afford to sleep too long or too deeply, because their survival depends on their ability to run away from attackers.?

Part Ⅱ Reading Comprehension (35 minutes)

Directions:There are four reading passages in this part. Each passage is followed by some 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 center.?

Passage One ?
Questions 21 to 25 are based on the following passage. ?
 
When Mike Kelly first set out to build his own private space-ferry service, he figures his bread-and-butter business would be lofting satellite into high-earth orbit. Now he thinks he may have figured wrong.“People were always asking me when they could go,” says Kelly, who runs Kelly Space & Technology, “I realized the real market is in space tourism.”?
According to preliminary market surveys, there are 10,000 would-be space tourists willing to spend $1 million each to visit the final frontier .Space Adventures in Arlington has taken more than 130 deposits for a two-hour, $98,000 space tour tentatively set to occur by 2005. This may sound great, but there are a few hurdles. Putting a simple satellite into orbit-with no oxygen, life support or return trip necessary- already costs an astronomical $22,00/kg. And that doesn’t include the cost of insuring rich and possibly litigious passengers. S1 The entire group of entrepreneurs trying to corner the space-tourism market have between them“just enough money to blow up one rocket.”
The U.S. space agency has plenty of money but zero interest in making space less expensive for the little guys. So the little guys are racing to do what the government has failed to do: design a reusable launch system that’s inexpensive, safe and reliable. Kelly Space’s prototype looks like a plane that has sprouted rocket engines. Rotary Rocket in California has a booster with rotors to make a helicopter-style return to Earth. The first passenger countdowns are still years away, but bureaucrats at the Federal Aviation Administration in Washington are already informally discussing flight regulations. After all, you can’t be too prepared for a trip to that galaxy far, far away.?
21. Which of the following is the best title for the passage??
A) Take Vacations in Space?
B) Building Hotels in Space?
C) Flight regulations in Space Travels ?
D) Cost of Space Traveling?
22. The phrase “bread-and-butter business” most probably means ____.?
A) a business to sell bread and butter?
B) a business to produce bread and butter?
C) the business to make a living ?
D) a traveling agency?
23. How much is the 2-hour space tour for each person according to Space Adventures in Arlington??
A) $1 million. B) $ 10,000.?C) $98,000. D) $ 22,000.?
24. Which of the following is true according to the passage??
A) The biggest hurdle for the space-tourism project is lack of a life supporting system.?
B) The entrepreneurs trying to explore the space- tourism have plenty of moneys.?
C) The government have little interests in this project.?
D) The first passenger countdowns are within a few years.?
25. What’s the author’s tone in the last sentence of the passage??
A) Objective. B) Ironical.?C) Approving. D) Enthusiastic.?

Passage Two ?
Questions 26 to 30 are based on the following passage. ?
For more than a decade, dieticians and nutritionists harangued us to lower the amount of fat in our diet. As it happens, their message was only partly correct. S2 Although all fats are high in calories, certain fats, like the omega-3 fatty acids commonly found in fish, are actually good for us, provided we consume them in moderation. Not only do omega-3s reduce the risk of clot formation in blood vessels, they also lower the amount of triglycerides, another fatty substance in the blood. S3 The bottom line is that folks who eat 6 to 8 oz. of fatty fish a week experience significantly fewer heart attacks and strokes.Still on the consume-sparing lists are saturated fats, commonly found in red meats and whole-milk dairy products. Recent studies also suggests that another group fats, called trans-fatty acids, found in abundance in crackers and cookies prepared with hydrogenated oils, may be an even more dangerous promoter of high cholesterol than saturated fats.?
The most immediate benefit from adopting a healthy diet is that it can lower blood pressure. Even if you don’t have hypertension, decreasing your blood pressure makes your blood vessel springier and can help stabilize potentially dangerous plaques in the arteries. Two major studies have shown that DASH(Dietary Approaches to Stopping Hypertension) diet- which emphasizes fruits and vegetables, promotes low-fat dairy and high-fiber grains, permits modest portions of lean meat and reduces sodium intake can lower blood pressure as effectively as taking a prescription anti-hypertension drug. Just as important, the foods are filling, taste good and aren’t that different from what most Americans are used to eating.?
26. Which of the following is the best title for the passage??
A) To Eat Right. B) Go on Diet.?C) Get Fit. D) Healthy Habits.?
27. Which of the following about omega-3 fatty acids is not true according to the passage? ?
A) They are not fats actually.?
B) They are good to our health if taken properly.?
C) They can reduce clot formation in blood vessels.?
D) They can lower the amount of triglycerides.?
28.The author states that trans-fatty acids ____.?
A) are not on the consume-sparingly list.?
B) are found commonly in red meat.?
C) may promote high cholesterol.?
D) are not so dangerous as saturated fats.?
29.The “DASH” might include all of the following except____.?
A) emphasizing fruits and vegetables?
B) promoting low-fat dairy and high-fiber grains?
C) reducing sodium intake?
D) encouraging large portions of lean meats?
30. The word “harangue” in the first sentence most probably mean____.?
A) threaten B) ask?
C) order D) talk/persuade ...into?

Passage Three ?
Questions 31 to 35 are based on the following passage. ?
 
S4 Car crashes are the leading cause of injury and death among U.S. children, and though most of us now think of car seats as standard baby equipment, about half of all children under the age of four who died in vehicle accidents last year were not restrained. It is calculated that only about two-thirds of children ages five to fifteen buckle their seat belts.?
Moreover, the traffic-safety agency estimate that even among parents who always strap their children in, 85% are not doing it properly. They often don’t know where best to place the kids, don’t use the proper restraint for their age and weight, or don’t install the safety seats properly.?Despite the reports about front seats collapsing onto back seats when certain car models get in accidents, the safest place in the car for any child up to the age of 12 is still the back seat. Babies up to 9kg and one year old should ride in rear-facing infant seats. Never place a child under age 12 in the front seat with a working passenger-side air bag. These devices are discharged at 320 km/h and can be triggered by low-speed fender benders. They have killed 77 kids in the U.S. since 1993. If you must place a child in front, make sure the passenger-side bag is switched off.?
Children over age one should ride in forward-facing safety seats with a five-point harness system. A child who weighs at last 18 kg and is at least 2m tall can graduate to a booster seat that elevates her so that the standard shoulder and lap belt fit properly.?
31. What does the author mainly discuss in this passage??
A) How to avoid car crash.?
B) How to design safer baby equipment.?
C) How to educate children properly.?
D) How to properly secure children in the car.?
32. The author states that 85% parents are not strapping their children properly. Which of the following is not among the “improper ways”?A) They don’t know where best to place the child.?
B) They don’t have the safety equipment for the child.?
C) They don’t use the proper restraint for the kid’s age and weight.?
D) They don’t install the safety seats properly.?
33. Which of the following is the best seat for the children under 12??
A) Forward-facing seats. B) Rear-facing seats.?C) Front seats. D) Back seats.?
34. The author indicates that a passenger-side air bag____.?
A) might not be dangerous if switched off?
B) is designed for the safety of children?
C) is discharged at 320 km/h and will not triggered by other factors?
D) is not working if a child sits in the seat?
35. What does the word “graduate” mean in the last paragraph ??
A) Finish schooling.?
B) Change to something else.?
C) Collapse.?
D) Stand.?

Passage Four ?
Questions 36 to 40 are based on the following passage. ?
 
A computer virus is a piece of software programmed to perform one major task: to replicate. Viruses accomplish their reproductive task by preying on other computer files, requiring a host program as a means of survival.?
Viruses gain control over their host in various ways, for example,by attaching their infected code to the end of a host program and misguiding the header information at the beginning of the file so that it points toward itself rather than the legitimate program. Therefore, when an infected host program is run, the virus gets executed before the host. The host program can be almost anything: an application, part of the operating system, part of the system boot code, or a device driver. The virus continues to spread, moving from file to file in this infectious manner.?
In addition to its propagation mission, many viruses contain code whose purpose is to cause damage. In some viruses, this code is activated by a trigger mechanism. A trigger condition may be linked to the number of times the host file is run, or it could be a response to a particular date, time or random number.(S5)In other cases, the damage could occur continuously on a random basis. Of the 11,000
known viruses present today, more than 2000 have been diagnosed as being data destructive.?
All personal computers are at risk for viral infection. Several events, trends and technological in-roads have combined in the past few years to increase our vulnerability to infection. The proliferation of local area networks, the downloading of information from mainframes to desktop computers, our increased reliance on personal computers to store mission critical data, the arrival of electronic bulletin boards, the globalization of communications, the gained popularity of shareware, the growing use of remote communications, the portability of data, the casual spread of software via piracy, and the staggering rate of new virus creation all contribute to increase our risk of virus infection.?
36. Which of the following is true according to the passage??
A) Viruses gain control over their host through replacing the host files with their own.?
B) When an infected program is run, the virus gets executed together with the host.?
C) Viruses attack computer system by causing power failure. ?
D) To replicate, viruses need a host system as a means of survival.?
37. All of the following can be the host program except____.?
A) a device driver?
B) part of the system boot data?
C) part of the operating system?
D) a software?
38. The trigger mechanism of damage can get executed____. ?
A) at a particular time?
B) continuously?
C) on a random basis?
D) all of the above?
39. Which of the following might not increase the risk of virus infection??
A) Downloading of information from mainframes to desktop computers.?
B) The arrival of electronic bulletin boards.?
C) The portability of data.?
D) Popularity of personal computers.?
40. The phrase “preying on” in the last sentence in the first paragraph means____.?
A) reproducing B) begging?C) destroying D) inducing ??

Pressure ?

In our modern society marked by competition, people have to be faced with various kinds of pressure, the pressure from work, from family, from study and even from your heart. And a lot of people are afraid of the pressure. They keep complaining about every thing and appear very anxious.?
However, a certain measure of pressure is not necessarily bad. Just suppose without pressure how a high school student can pass the entrance to the university?And the fear of losing one’s job keeps a worker working hard. Therefore , it is no exaggeration to say that pressure runs the world around.?Of course too much pressure is harmful to our life. He who cannot handle the pressure might collapse someday if it is too much to endure. We’ve already heard too many examples of this. Thus the question is we must learn how to relieve ourselves of the burden of work and study and at the same time, let the stimulus continue to drive us to efforts.

He talked about the new developments taking place in ocean research these days. I will try to give you a brief summary of some of the things he mentioned.? Part Ⅱ Reading Comprehension(35 minutes) 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 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 center. Passage One ? Questions 21 to 25 are based on the following passage. ? If, at the end of a conversation somebody says to me, “as soon as I know, I’ll ring you up”, he is talking too much for granted. He is proposing to attempt the impossible. So I have to say, “I’m afraid you can’t. You see. I’m not on the telephone. I just haven’t got a telephone.”? Why don’t you have a telephone? Not because I pretend to be wise or pose as unusual. There are two chief reasons: because I don’t really like the telephone I find I can still work and play, eat, breathe and sleep without it. Why don’t I like the telephone? Because I think it is a pest and a time-waster. It may create unnecessary suspense and anxiety, as when you wait for an expected call that doesn’t come; or irritating delay, as when you keep ringing a number that is always engaged. As for speaking in a public telephone box, which seems to me really horrible. You would not use it unless you were in a hurry, and because you are in a hurry you will find other people waiting before you. When you do get into the box, you are half asphyxiated by stale, unventilated air, flavored with cheap face-powder and chain-smoking; and by the time you have begun your conversation your back is chilled by the cold look of somebody who is fidgeting to take your place.?If you have a telephone in your own house, you will admit that it tends to ring when you least want it to ring; when you are asleep, or in the middle of a meal or a conversation, or when you are just going out, or when you are in your bath.Are you strong-minded enough to ignore it, to say to yourself, “Ah, well, it will all be the same in a hundred years’ time.You are not. You think there may be some important news or message for you. Have you never rushed dripping from the bath, or chewing from the table, or dazed from the bed, only to be told that you are a wrong number??Suppose you ignore the telephone when it rings, and suppose that, for once, somebody has an important message for you. I can assure you that if a message is really important it will reach you sooner or later. Think of the proverb: “ill newstravels apace.” I must say good news seems to travel just as fast. And think ofthe saying: “the truth will out.” It will.? 21. The write does not like telephone in a public telephone box, because____.? A) unventilated air? B) it is far from his home? C) it is not convenient? D) he must pay for it? 22. In the third paragraph, “it will all be the same in a hundred years’ time’ means ____.? A) the phone has been the same thing for many years? B) everything will remain the same thing whether I answer the phone or not? C) the phone will not be changed in a hundred years? D) the phone will not be changed for many years? 23. What does “the truth will out” mean in the last sentence? ? A) The truth will become publicly.? B) The truth will be truth.? C) The truth will disappear.? D) The truth will be hidden.? 24. Which of the following in the main idea of the passage?? A) It is not necessary to have a telephone because ill news travels just as fast as good news? B) The writer states his reasons for not having a telephone.? C) The writer does not like the telephone at all.? D) People can live a normal life without a telephone.? 25. What kind of person do you think the writer is?? A) Eccentric. B) Modern.?C) Realistic. D) Idealistic.

Passage Two ? Questions 26 to 30 are based on the following passage. ? Spending time in a bookshop can be most enjoyable, whether you are a book-lover or merely go there to buy a book as a present. You may even have entered the shop just to find shelter from a sudden shower. Whatever the reason, you can soon become totally unaware of your surroundings. The desire to pick up a book with an attractive dust-jacket is irresistible, although this method of selection ought not to be followed, as you might end up with a rather dull book. You soon become engrossed in some book or other, and usually it is only much later that you realize you have spend too much time there and must dash off to keep some forgotten appointment-without buying a book, of course.? This opportunity to escape the realities of everyday life is, I think, the main attraction of a bookshop. There are not many places where it is possible to do this. A music shop is very much like a bookshop. You can wander round such places to your heart’s content. If it is a good shop, no assistant will approach you with the inevitable greeting: “can I help you, sir?” You needn’t buy anything you don’t want. In a bookshop an assistant should remain in the background until you have finished browsing. Then, and only then, are his services necessary. Of course, you may want to find out where a particular section is, but when he has led you there, the assistant should retire discreetly and look as if he is not interested in selling a single book.? You have to be careful not to be attracted by the variety of books in a bookshop. It is very easy to enter the shop looking for a book on, say, ancient coins and to come out carrying a copy of the latest best-selling novel and perhaps a book about brass-rubbing-something which had only vaguely interested you up till then. This volume on the subject, however, happened to be so well illustrated and the part of the text you read proved so interesting, that you just had to buy it. This sort of thing can be very dangerous. Apart from running up a huge account, you can waste a great deal of time wandering from section to section.? Book-seller must be both long-suffering and indulgent. There is a story which well illustrates this. A medical student had to read a text-book which was far too expensive for him to buy. He couldn’t obtain it from the library and the only copy he could find was in his bookshop. Every afternoon, therefore, he would go along to the shop and read a little of the book at a time. One day, however, he was dismayed to find the book missing from its usual place and was about to leave when he noticed the owner of the shop beckoning to him. Expecting to be told off, he went towards him. To his surprise, the owner pointed to the book, which was tucked away in a corner, “I put it there in case anyone was tempted to buy it,” he said, and left the delighted student to continue his reading. ? 26. Spending time in a bookshop____.? A) can be very much enjoy? B) can be very pleasant? C) can be pleasure-giving? D) can give you the greatest pleasure? 27. When you enter the bookshop to find a book, you will ____.? A) become completely absorbed in the books without realizing where you are.? B) become completely lost without any knowledge of your whereabouts.? C) become completely unconscious in the bookshop.? D) lose any sense of direction as to where you are.? 28. How should book sellers do?? A) He should be both suffer for a long time and satisfy customers’ wishes.? B) He should be both endure and indulge for a long time.? C) He should be both tender and lenient.? D) He should be both patient and kind.? 29.Why did the owner of the shop put the book in a corner?? A) He put it there in case anyone was persuaded to buy it.? B) He put it there in case anyone was inclined to buy it.? C) He put it there in case anyone was attracted to buy it.? D) He put it there in case anyone was fascinated to buy it.? 30.How should an assistant do in a good shop?? A) Help you to choose a book.? B) Approach you with the inevitable greeting.? C) Keep himself staying until you have finished glancing.? D) Show his great interest in selling book.? Passage Three ? Questions 31 to 35 are based on the following passage. ? In a world that is becoming more and more interdependent, there is an ever-increasing need to link communications systems on various continents and to provide live international television coverage. This need is now being met by the communications satellites.? Communications satellites make use of technology that has been available for some time: the microwave radio relay. Microwave, which have a higher frequency than ordinary radio waves, are used routinely in sending thousands of telephone calls and television programs across long distances. They give high-quality performance, and they can carry many messages at the same time.? But they has always been one problem in using radio relay in overseas communications. Although high-frequency waves can travel almost unlimited distances, they travel only in straight lines. Since the curvature of the earth limits a microwave’s line-of-sight path to about 30 miles, good reception requires a series of relay towers spaced every 30 miles or so. Obviously it isn’t possible to built these towers across the ocean. But by sending signals high up into the sky and then bouncing them back again to a far-off spot, we can send microwave messages long distances.? As long ago as 1945, Arthur C. Clarke, an English science-fiction writer, proposed that manned “stationary” satellites be used to relay and broadcast electromagnetic communication signals. In 1945, of course, the idea of getting a satelliteout into space seemed fantastic. But with ten years, satellites were close to reality. With the first launching of a satellite into orbit by the Soviet Union (Sputnik I) in 1957, the real development work on satellite communications began. Shortly thereafter, two successful satellites were launched in the United States, Echo I and Telstar I.?The launching of the Telstar I satellite in 1962 marked a major step toward opening the era of commercial satellite communications. Echo I, a ten-story aluminum-coated balloon, was a “passive” target; it merely reflected weak signals back to the earth. But Telstar I was the first “active” satellite to pick up a broadband signal, amplify it, and transmit it back to the earth on a different frequency. The satellite’s transmission of transatlantic television thrilled millions.? A few months after Telstar I went into orbit, Relay, a medium-altitude satellitelaunched by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA), provided the first satellite communication between North and South America. Relay was followed by the Telstar II satellite, and by NASA’s Syncom series and its successors——all of them high-altitude (23,000 miles) satellites whose orbits are synchronous with the rotation of the earth so that this positions, if they could be seen from the earth, would appear to be fixed in one spot.? Shortly before Telstar I was launched, the United States Congress established the Communications Satellite Corporation——Comsat——to develop a commercial satellite system as part of an improved global communications network. Comsat, which is owned partly by public investors and partly by communications carriers, represents the United States in the International Telecommunications Satellite Consortium-Intelsat-and acts as manager for that body. Since its inception in 1962, the corporation, in collaboration with Intelsat, has inaugurated commercial satellite transmission of telephone, television, and other telecommunications traffic between North America and Europe and North America and the Far East.? The commercial satellite Intelsat IV was launched in June of 1972.This one-and-one-half-ton spacecraft multiplied by five times the space-borne relaying capacity linking Africa, Europe, Asia, and Australia. With the launching of Intelsat IV, full global coverage by communications satellites had at last been achieved.? 31. The first paragraph indicates ____.? A) communications systems is becoming more and more independent ? B) link communications systems on various continents? C) the need to link communications systems on various is ever-increasing? D) this need is now being met by the communications satellites? 32.The maximum distance for high-frequency and straight line microwave tr ansmission is ____ miles.? A) much more than 30? B) less than30? C) 30? D) about 30? 33.The phrase “marked a major step”(Line 1,Para. 5) most probably means____.? A) got significant step? B) was an important advance? C) made a progress? D) marked in the history? 34.What is the author trying to tell us in the second paragraph?? A) Microwave radio relay.? B) Microwave itself.? C) Microwave’s transmission.? D) Microwave’s value.? 35. In paragraph 6, “...whose orbits are synchronous with the rotation of the earth so that this positions,...” means ____.? A) satellites are orbited in the same time with the rotation of the earth? B) that moves as fast as the earth the earth turns round? C) that travels in the same direction with the earth turns round? D) that travels faster than the earth turns ? Passage Four ? Questions 36 to 40 are based on the following passage. ? Americans believe no one stands still. If you are not moving ahead, you are falling behind. This attitude results in a nation of people committed to researching, experimenting and exploring. Time is one of the two elements that Americans save carefully, the other being labor.? “We are slaves to nothing but the clock,” it has been said. Time is treated as if it were something almost tangible. We budget it, save it, waste it, steal it, kill it, cut it, account for it; we also charge for it. It is a precious commodity. Many people have a rather acute sense of the shortness of each lifetime. Once the sands have run out of a person’s hourglass, they cannot be replaced. We want every minute to count.? 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 hurry to get where they are going, restlessly seeking attention in a store, elbowing others as they try to complete their errands. 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 they too can be served and getback to work within the time allowed. Each person hurries to make room for the next person. If you don’t, waiter will hurry you. ? You also find drivers will be abrupt and that people will push past you. You will miss smiles, brief conversations, small courtesies with strangers. Don’t take it personally. This is because people value time highly, and they resent someoneelse “wasting” it beyond a certain courtesy point. ?This view of time affects the importance we attach to patience. In the American system of values, patience is not a high priority. Many of us have what might becalled “a short fuse.” We begin to move 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 andday life.? Many newcomers to the States will miss the opening courtesies of a business call, for example. They 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 coffee house. Normally, Americans do not assess their visitors in such relaxed surroundings over prolonged small talk; much less do they take them out for dinner, or around on the golf course while they develop a sense of trust and report. Rapport to most of us is less important than performance. 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. ? Most Americans live according to time segments laid out in engagement calendars.We often give a person two or three ( or more) segments of our calendar, but in business world we almost always have other appointments following hard on the heels of whatever we are doing. Time is therefore always ticking in our inner ear.? As a result we work hard at the task of saving time. We produce a steady flow of labor-saving devices; we communicate rapidly through telexes phone calls or memos rather than through personal contacts, which though pleasant, take longer-especially given our traffic-filled streets. We therefore save most personal visiting for after work hours or for social weekend gatherings.? 36.“If you are not moving ahead, you are falling behind.”(Para.1,Line1)means ____.? A) if you are moving, you are falling down? B) you would fall behind if you move ahead? C) you are moving ahead or you are falling behind? D) you are not moving, you are disappear? 37. The second paragraph implies____.? A) everyone’s life has his regrets? B) everybody has his defaults? C) lifetime is not long for everyone? D) lifetime is full of pities? 38. In the American system of value, patience is not a high priority indicates ____.? A) patience is very important? B) patience is high valuable? C) patience is not of value? D) patience is ranked after others? 39. “We begin to move restlessly about if we feel time is slipping away without some return...”, this sentence reflects Americans’ attitude to life ____.? A) is not patient enough? B) gets angry easily? C) saves times? D) values time? 40. Is the article to ____?? A) narrate B) tell story? C) inform D) argue ??
