Part I Reading Comprehension

Section A

Directions: There are 3 passages in this section. 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.

Questions 1 to 5 are based on the following passage.

Trials are taking place in North America and Europe to test an electronic device which will prevent children from watching unsuitable programs on television.

The device, known as a V-chip (the “v” stands for violence), allows parents to control their television set so that programs which are unsuitable for children cannot be watched on a particular television.

The V-chip works by using an electronic code. When a program is broadcast, the signal from the television transmitter carries a code, which indicates the level of sex and/or violence in a particular program. The V-chip inside the television then examines the code for each program and blocks transmission of those programs which contain certain codes.

Makers of the V-chip say that parents can be confident that their children will not be able to watch those programs which they decide are unsuitable.

V-chip technology has attracted a lot of interest. President Clinton passed a law last year which will require all new televisions to be fitted with V-chips by 1998. And the European Parliament（欧洲议会） has included the V-chip in its new Directive on Broadcasting.

But critics say that the system will not be fool-proof, and that children will find ways of getting around it. There are also concerns that foreign satellite television companies may not abide by the rules. Others say that if viewers come to rely on the V-chip, other controls on program content may start to be relaxed.

1. According to the passage, V-chip technology enables parents to _____C________. A) turn off the television when they are not home

B) test electronic devices that can take the place of the TV set C) keep inappropriate TV programs away from their children

D) control the amount of time that their children spend on watching TV

2. What do we learn from the passage about the electronic code? ______A________ A) It shows the level of sex and/or violence in a particular program. B) It contains information about the television transmitter. C) It is the signal that is sent out by the V-chip.

D) It is a computer program built in a TV set to examine the V-chip. 3. The word “they ” in Paragraph 4 refers to __________B______. A) makers B) parents C) children D) programs

4. We can conclude from the passage that ____________C____________. A) President Clinton attracted a lot of interest

B) a law had been passed to prohibit sex and violence on TV

C) TV sets sold in American after 1998 are required to have V-chips

D) the European Parliament decided to import the V-chip technology from USA 5. Critics of the V-chip were concerned that _________D___________. A) children may not like the new technology

B) imported TV set may not have been equipped with V-chips C) children may get addicted to the new technology D) new problems may arise even if the V-chip works

Questions 6 to 10 are based on the following passage.

It is estimated that some seven hundred million people are unable to read and write, and there are probably two hundred and fifty million more whose level of attainment is so slight that it barely qualifies literacy (读写能力).

Recently the attack on illiteracy has been stepped up. A world plan has been drawn up by a committee of UNESCO experts in Paris, as part of the UNESCO Nations Development Decade, and an international conference on the subject has also been held. UNESCO stresses that functional literacy is the aim. People must learn the basic skills of responsible citizenship: the ability to read notices, newspapers, timetables, letters, price-lists, to keep simple records and accounts, to sort out the significance of the information gathered, and to fill in forms.

The major areas of illiteracy are in Asia, Africa, and Central and South America. In Africa there are at least one hundred million illiterates, comprising eighty to eighty-five per cent of the total population. In Europe the figure is about twenty-four million, most of them in Southern Europe, with Spain, Italy, Portugal, and Yugoslavia heading the list (the United Kingdom has about seven hundred thousand).

6. Studying carefully the clues in the passage, we learn that the total population of Africa is B . A) approximately seven hundred million

B) approximately one hundred and twenty-five million C) approximately eight or eight point five thousand million D) exactly twenty-four million

7. The figure of illiteracy in Britain comprises A . A) zero point one per cent of that of illiteracy in the world B) zero point two per cent of the world adult population C) thirty-five per cent of Europe’s population

D) three point five per cent of that of the illiteracy in Southern Europe 8. It is obvious that UNESCO B . A) is a company in France

B) is a world organization attached to the U. N. C) works mainly at combating illiteracy

D) has many experts whose level of attainment is far from literacy 9. A world plan mentioned in the passage aims at C .

A) training responsible citizens B) enforcing the functions of UNESCO C) helping illiterates learn how to read and write

D) urging Southern European countries to take the lead in attacking illiteracy 10. The author implies that this world plan is to B . A) be carried out in the major areas of illiteracy like Africa B) be realized in ten years

C) be drawn up by Parisian experts

D) be debated at an international conference

Questions 11 to 15 are based on the following passage.

In the course of the late 1930s thousands of workers transformed an old garbage dump in the New York borough of Queens into the 1939-40 New York World’s Fair. For the price of a five-cent subway ride and seventy-five-cent admission fee, some fifty-seven attendees could sample personally “the wonders of contemporary life.”

Since the middle of the nineteenth century, industrial states had held periodic expositions to showcase the goods produced by their nationals and by others. Although London’s Great Exhibition of 1851 had led the way, it was the French who were to produce such international displays of culture and machinery most frequently during the next half-century. American expositions tied the French example to the celebration of key historical anniversaries. The best-remembered example is the Chicago Exposition of 13, which marked the four hundredth anniversary of Columbus’s arrival—one year late. The New York World’s Fair of 1939 was inspired by the 150th anniversary of the inauguration (就职典礼) of George Washington.

What took place at these showcases of modern architecture, national pride, and international commercial competition? The 13 Chicago Fair boasted its entertainment “Midway” as well as scientific exhibits, and visitors to the New York Fair in 1939 may well have been more impressed by the simulated (模拟的) 250-foot parachute jump than by the first speech by a president to be shown on television, or the first color film for home movie cameras.

11. How much did a ticket to the 1939-40 New York Fair cost? ___C____. A) 5 cents. B) 57 cents. C) 75 cents. D) 80 cents. 12. The word “showcase” in paragraph 2 probably means __B_____. A) be put in a case B) display C) purchase D) be bought

13. Which nation organized most of the international exhibitions between 1850 and 1900? B A) Great Britain. B) France. C) England. D) The United States.

14. We can conclude from the passage that the four hundredth anniversary of Columbus’s arrival should have been celebrated in _____A__________. A) 12 B) 13 C) 14 D) 15

15. What was one important feature of the 13 Chicago Exposition? D A) Presidential speech. B) Historical conference.

C) Athletic competition. D) Entertainment and scientific displays.

Section B

Directions: In this section there is a short passage with five questions or incomplete statements. Read the passage

carefully. Then answer the questions or complete the statements with no more than 10 words. Be sure to write your answers on Answer Sheet (2).

Teen smoking rates have been dropping since 1997, federal health officials report today, but more than a quarter of high school students still smoke cigarettes.

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention says roughly 29% of American high school students are smokers, down from 36% in 1997. The finding confirms other studies that show a decline in smoking in this age group.

The trend is occurring across all race and age groups and in both boys and girls, says Terry Pechacek of the CDC's National Center for Chronic Disease Prevention and Health Promotion. If trends continue, the report says, the national goal to reduce teen smoking rates to 16% or lower by 2010 is achievable.

Pechacek attributes the decline to a 70% jump in the price of cigarettes from the end of 1997 to May 2001, along with expanded school, state and national smoking-prevention efforts. By 2000, the report says, 92% of the USA's school districts required tobacco-prevention education, and nearly half of middle and senior high schools had no-smoking policies.

To keep teen smoking rates on a downward path, Pechacek says, cigarette prices should continue to rise and smoking-prevention campaigns should expand. “We’ve got it going in the right direction,” he says, “but we can’t be satisfied with what we have got. If we’re going to continue to decline, we’ve got to continue those efforts.”

The data being released today are part of the Youth Risk Behavior Survey, a national school-based survey of 14,601 students in grades 9-12 that was conducted in spring 2001.

SAQ 1. This report mainly discusses a decline in smoking rate of American high school students _____ SAQ 2. From 1997 to 2001, the smoking rate in America high school students has dropped by seven ___ percentage point.

SAQ 3. What did the US want to achieve in fighting teen smoking by the year 2010? To reduce teen smoking rate to 16 percent or lower

SAQ 4. The drop in teen smoking rate was a result of ____ rising cigarette prices ___ as well as efforts from various sectors to prevent smoking.

SAQ 5. What should be the next step to reduce teen smoking rate according to Pechacek? To continue to raise cigarette prices and expand smoking-prevention campaigns. Part II Vocabulary and Structure (35 minutes, 45marks)

Camp memories last forever!We make sure they are unforgettable!

Shadow Ridge Summer Camps offer so many exciting things for campers to do. Unlike other camp programs that include horses as a small part of their program, at Shadow Ridge horses ARE the program!We are 100% horse from stable(马厩)management, nature walks, and track rides to bedroom furnishings.

Horses help us achieve many of our aims. Girls can learn to develop responsibility, self-confidence and personal connections in their lives while having fun. Using horses as a wonderful tool for education, our camps offer an interesting place for growth and learning.

Imagine each girl having her very own horse to spend time with and a best friend to love and take care of. Each camper is responsible for a horse for the week.Our riding program provides a lot of riding and lesson time.Campers will learn how to take care of the horse and the tack(马具), as well as how to ride. Days are filled with horse-related activities to strengthen the connection between each girl and horse, as the girls learn to work safely around the horses.

At Shadow Ridge we try to create a loving, caring family atmosphere for our campers. We have“The Bunkhouse”(4 girls), the“ Wranglers Roost”(4 girls), and “The Hideout”(2 girls) in our comfortable 177-year-old farm house. All meals are home cooked, offering delicious and healthy food for the hungry rider.

Our excellent activities create personalized memories of your child's vacation. Each child will receive a camp T-shirt and a photo album(usually 300-500 pictures)of their stay at camp.

Our camps are offered during June, July and August 2007, for small groups of girls aged 13-16 years, not only from Canada but also other parts of the world.

Passage B

The African elephant, the largest land animal remaining on earth, is of great importance to African ecosystem(生态系统). Unlike other animals, the African elephant is to a great extent the builder of its environment. As a big plant-eater, it largely shapes the forest-and-savanna(大草原)surroundings in which it lives, therefore setting the terms of existence for millions of other animals that live in its habitat(栖息地).

It is the elephant’s great desire for food that makes it a disturber of the environment and an important builder of its habitat.In its continuous search for the 300 pounds of plants it must have every day, it kills small trees and underbushes, and pulls branches off big trees. This results in numerous open spaces in both deep tropical forests and in the woodlands that cover part of the African savannas.In these open spaces are numerous plants in various stages of growth that attract a variety of other plant-eaters.

Take the rain forests for example. In their natural state, the spreading branches overhead shut out sunlight and prevent the growth of plants on the forest floor. By pulling down trees and eating plants, elephants make open spaces, allowing new plants to grow on the forest floor. In such situations, the forests become suitable for large hoofed plant-eaters to move around and for small plant-eaters to get their food as well.

What worries scientists now is that the African elephant has become an endangered species.If the elephant disappears, scientists say, many other animals will also disappear from vast areas of forest and savanna, greatly changing and worsening the whole ecosystem.

35. What is the passage mainly about? C A. Disappearance of African elephants.

B. Forests and savannas as habitats for African elephants. C. The effect of African elephants’ search for food.

D. The eating habit of African elephants.

36. What does the underlined phrase “setting the terms” most probably mean? D A. Fixing the time. B. Worsening the state. C. Improving the quality. D. Deciding the conditions.

37. What do we know about the open spaces in the passage? D A. They result from the destruction of rain forests. B. They provide food mainly for African elephants. C. They are home to many endangered animals.

D. They are attractive to plant-eating animals of different kinds. 38. The passage is developed mainly by A . A. showing the effect and then explaining the causes B. pointing out similarities and differences C. describing the changes in space order D. giving examples

Part I Reading Comprehension (40%)

Section A

Directions: There are 3 passages in this section. Each passage is followed by some questions or unfinished

Questions 26 to 30 are based on the following passage.

What makes Americans spend nearly half their food dollars on meals away from home? The answers lie in the way Americans live today. During the first few decades of the twentieth century, canned and convenience foods freed the family cook from full-time duty at the kitchen range. Then, in the 1940s, work in the wartime defense plants took more women out of the home than ever before, setting the pattern of the working wife and mother.

Today about half of the country’s married women are employed outside the home. But, unless family members pitch in with food preparation, women are not fully liberated from that chore. Instead many have become, in a sense, prisoners of the completely cooked convenience meal. It is easier to pick up a bucket of fried chicken on the way home from work or to take the family out for pizzas, or burgers than to start opening cans or heating up frozen dinners after a long, hard day.

Also, the rising divorce rate means that there are more single working parents with children to feed. And many young adults and elderly people, as well as unmarried and divorced mature people, live alone rather than as part of a family unit and don’t want to bother cooking for one.

Fast food is appealing because it is fast, it doesn’t require any dressing up, it offers a “fun” break.

1. American women left home to work in large numbers because of ____C________. A) the improved living standard B) the increase in food prices C) the need of war-time industry D) the modernization of the kitchen

2. The phrase “pitch in” in Line 2, Paragraph 2, is closest in meaning to ___A________. A) “offer help or support” B) “eat with good appetite” C) “offer compliment” D) “disagree with”

3. What is a working mother’s best choice if she does not have time to prepare dinner for the family according to the passage? C

A) Making a meal out of canned food.

B) Buying some chicken on the way home and frying it. C) Taking the family to dinner at a pizza place. D) Heating up frozen dinners.

4. Which of the following groups of Americans are most likely to cook their own meal at home? D A) Single working mothers. B) Unmarried mature people. C) Elderly people living alone.

D) Unemployed women with family.

5. What is this passage mainly about? C A) Women’s liberation in America.

B) Changes in the American family during World War II. C) Reasons for the popularity of fast food in America. D) Rising divorce rate in America today.

Questions 6 to 10 are based on the following passage.

Trials are taking place in North America and Europe to test an electronic device which will prevent children from watching unsuitable programs on television.

Makers of the V-chip say that parents can be confident that their children will not be able to watch those programs which they decide are unsuitable.

6. According to the passage, V-chip technology enables parents to ___C______. A) turn off the television when they are not home

B) test electronic devices that can take the place of the TV set C) keep inappropriate TV programs away from their children

Part I Reading Comprehension 40%

Directions: Read the following passages and choose the best answer to each of the questions

following the passage.

Questions 1 to 5 are based on the following passage:

In some ways the employment interview is like a persuasive speech because the applicant (interviewee) seeks to persuade the employer (interviewer) to employ him or her. Several suggestions might prove helpful to the applicant when he or she is preparing for the actual interview.

A job applicant should gather certain types of information before the interview. First, the applicant should know what kind of job he wants and how that job relates to his career objective. It is important that the applicant be able to state why he wishes to work for a particular company. Second, the applicant should seek as much information as possible concerning the company, such as the location, the financial situation of the company, plans for expansion, and company philosophy. Information about most big corporations is available in reference books and periodicals.

After gathering information concerning the company, the applicant is ready for the interview. The interviewer’s first impression comes from the interviewee’s appearance. For most interviews, the appropriate dress for a man is a conservative(保守的) dark colored suit with a long sleeve white or light blue shirt and conservative tie.

Although hairstyle and dress are matters of personal taste, many personnel directors get first impressions from these characteristics. For example, one recent college graduate, who felt himself qualified, interviewed for a public relations job. However, the personnel manager considered this young man’s long hair, sloppy dress, and overly casual manner unsuited for this particular position.

1. For whom is the passage most likely written? C A. An employee. C. An interviewee. B. An employer. D. An interviewer.

2. As the author suggests, what the applicant should know before the interview is __ A ___. A. the type of work he wants and his career expectation B. his career objective a particular company will decide

C. the reasons why a particular company wants to employ him D. all of the above

3. Before the interview, the applicant should obtain some information about __B___. A. most big corporations

B. the company he wants to work for C. reference books and periodicals D. business and philosophy

4. What the applicant wears, as the author suggests, can make him become __ B___. A. expressive C. informative B. impressive D. conservative

5. What does the passage tell us through the example in the last paragraph? D A. The importance of personal taste. B. The importance of public relations. C. The importance of self-confidence. D. The importance of a first impression.

Questions 6 to 10 are based on the following passage:

The traditional pattern of classroom experience at the college level brings the professor and a group of 20-to-30 students together for a 45-to-50-minute class session two or three times a week. The most common method of instruction is the lecture. When lectures are the main method of teaching in large classes, regular periods may be set aside for a small group under the leadership of an assistant instructor. In cases where a small class size encourages informality, lectures may be combined with discussion sessions based on assigned readings, required textbooks, and other outside materials.

Accurate, legible notes are invaluable aids to the student who is enrolled in a lecture course. Notes should be taken during lectures and when the student is reading the texts before each class. The key to good note-taking is to be able to listen a lot and to write only as much as is needed to record the essence of a point or idea presented by the lecturer. Thus, students should endeavor to identify only the main points and ideas being presented and to write them down in outline form. They should also strive to take good notes the first time and not plan to recopy notes—or to do so only when clarity and conciseness demand it. Finally, they should review their notes for about five minutes on the same day that they take them, and go over them again for about a half hour at least once a week, according to a regular schedule or plan. There is no course syllabus to be memorized; instead, the examinations will be based on the material presented in the lectures and textbooks. 6. Which is the main method of instruction in college according to the passage? A A. Lectures. C. 45-to-50-minute class sessions. B. Informal talks. D. Small group discussions. 7. Where can lectures and discussions be combined together? C A. In a class where textbooks are read. C. In a small class.

B. In a small group with an assistant instructor. D. In a regular class. 8. The word “invaluable” (Line 1, Paragraph 2) probably means ___ D ___. A. considerable C. meaningless B. worthless D. valuable

9. If students want to take good notes, they should __ A ____. A. put down only the main points in outline form B. write down what the tests will cover C. write down as much as possible D. put down what they need

10. After taking notes, the students still need to __ D____. A. rearrange the notes so that other students may get a copy too B. go over the notes for five minutes every day

C. add to the notes other points included in the syllabus D. review the notes on a regular basis

Questions 11 to 15 are based on the following passage:

The good news about Britain’s National Health Service (NHS) is that it gives free medical help to everyone who needs it. Sick people don’t have to pay to see the doctor, or to stay in hospital, and they only pay part of the cost of their medicines. The bad news is that the NHS is always running out of money. The British government spends even less on health than the American government. And in the USA sick people also have to pay every time they see a doctor. The NHS has been

admired and enjoyed by British people since 1946 when it started. The idea then was to look after people “from the cradle to the grave”. Free medicine was part of the “welfare state”, which gave free education to the young, money to the unemployed, and pensions to the old.

Slowly, as the years pass, problems have grown up. Governments are finding that the bills are getting bigger and bigger. In 1982, £14,000 million was spent on health. One reason for this is that there are many more old people now than there were in 1946. Forty percent of NHS money goes to looking after the old. Some people say that the NHS is a luxury Britain can not afford. They want to bring back more private medicine, for which people would pay. Free medicine, they say, should be given only to the poor. Other people, including many doctors, disagree. Everyone, they say, has the right to the same medical help. In a two-part system, the rich would always get the best. This would not be fair. People also disagree about how NHS money should be spent. Should £15,000 be spent on each heart transplant operation, when there are not enough beds for thousands of old people in pain? Should abortions be paid for by the NHS? Should more money be spent on the mentally ill? Shouldn’t doctors and nurses be better paid?

The questions go on and on—but so does the NHS. And millions of British people are thankful that it’s there.

11. In Britain sick people have to pay some money to____C______. A. see a doctor C. get some medicine B. stay in a hospital D. have an operation

12. In Britain more money is spent on health than before because_____B_____. A. more people get ill

B. there are more old people

C. medicines become more expensive D. doctors and nurses are better paid

13. Some people want to have more private medicine in Britain because they___C_______. A. don’t trust the NHS

B. want better medical treatment

C. don’t think Britain can afford free medicine for all D. believe that everyone has the right to medical help

14. What is the biggest problem the NHS is facing? A A. Shortage of money.

B. Criticisms from the people. C. Arguments about its function. D. Pressure from the government.

15. Which of the following is a controversial issue concerning the NHS? D A. Whether it’s necessary or not to provide beds for old people in pain. B. Whether there should be free medical care for the mentally ill. C. Whether people should ever be cared for from birth to death. D. Whether money should be spent on more critical cases.

Questions 16 to 20 are based on the following passage. Answer the questions in your own words as briefly as possible.

I.Q. stands for “Intelligence Quotient” which is a measure of a person’s intelligence by means of an intelligence test. Before marks gained in such a test can be useful as information about a person, they must be compared with some standard, or norm. It is not enough simply to know that a

boy of thirteen has got, say, ninety in a particular test. To know whether he is clever, average or dull, his test score must be compared with the average achieved by boys of thirteen in that test.

In 1906 the psychologist, Alfred Binet (1857–1911), devised the standard in relation to which intelligence has since been measured. Binet was asked to find a method of selecting all children in the schools of Paris who should be taken out of ordinary classes and put in special classes for defectives (缺陷). The problem made him realize the need for a standard of intelligence, and he hit upon the very simple concept of “mental age”.

First of all, he invented a variety of tests and put large numbers of children of different ages through them. He then found at what age each test was passed by the average child. For instance, he found that the average child of seven could count backwards from 20 to 1 and the average child of three could repeat the sentence: “We are going to have a good time in the country.” Binet arranged the various tests in order of difficulty, and used them as a scale against which he could measure every individual. If, for instance, a boy aged twelve could only do tests that were passed by the average boy of nine, Binet held that he was three years below average, and that he had a mental age of nine.

The concept of mental age provided Binet, and through him, other psychologists, with the required standard. It enabled him to state scores in intelligence tests in terms of a norm. At first, it was usual to express the result of a test by the difference between the “mental” and the “chronological” (按年代顺序排列的) age. Then the boy in the above example would be “three years retarded”. Soon, however, the “mental ratio” was introduced; that is to say, the ratio of the mental age to the chronological age. Thus a boy of twelve with a mental age of nine has a mental ratio of 0.75.

The mental age was replaced by the “intelligence quotient” or “I.Q.”. The “I.Q.” is the mental ratio multiplied by 100. For example, a boy of twelve with a mental age of nine has an “I.Q.” of 75. Clearly, since the mental age of the average child is equal to the chronological age, the average IQ is 100.

16. The scores in an intelligence test can be useful only after ___comparing them with some standard, or norm________

17. What made Binet come up with the concept of “middle age”? The need to pick out children with defective/low intelligence.

18. How did Binet arrange the tests after he tested many children with them? In order of difficulty .

19. What is the “mental ratio”? The ratio of the mental age to the chronological age .

20. According to Binet’s standard, a boy of ten who is “four years retarded” has a mental age of six

I．Reading Comprehension (40%)

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. Choose the best answer to each question.

Passage one

Since we are social beings, the quality of our lives depends in large measure on our interpersonal relationships. One strength of the human conditions is our tendency to give and receive support from one another under stressful circumstances. Social support consists of the exchange of resources among people based on their interpersonal ties. Those of us with strong support systems appear better able to cope with life changes and daily hassles. People with strong social ties live longer and have better health than those without such ties. Studies over a range of illnesses, from depression to heart disease, reveal that the presence of social support helps people fend off illness, and the absence of such support makes poor health likely.

Social support cushions stress in a number of ways. First, friends, relatives, and co-workers may let us know that they value us. Our self-respect is strengthened when we feel accepted by others despite our faults and difficulties. Second, other people often provide us with informational support. They help us to define and understand our problems and find solutions to them. Third, we typically find social companionship supportive. Engaging in leisure-time activities with others helps us to meet our social needs while at the same time distracting us from our worries and troubles. Finally, other people may give us instrumental support ― financial aid, material resources and needed services — that reduces stress by helping us resolve and cope with our problems. 1. Interpersonal relationships are important because ____D_______. A. they can cure a range of illnesses such as heart disease, etc. B. they help people to cope with life in the information era C. they awaken people’s desire to exchange resources D. they are indispensable to people’s social well-being

2. Research shows that people’s physical and mental health _____C______. A. depends on their ability to deal with daily worries and troubles B. relies on the social welfare systems which support them

C. has much to do with the amount of support they get from others

4. Helping a sick neighbor with some repair work is an example of _____C____. A. informational support B. social companionship C. instrumental support

D. the strengthening of self-respect

5. Social companionship is beneficial in that _____D______. A. it helps strengthen our ties with relatives

B. it makes our leisure-time activities more enjoyable C. it enables us to eliminate our faults and mistakes

D. it draws our attention away from our worries and trouble

Passage Two

Whether the eyes are the windows of the soul is debatable, but that they are intensely important in interpersonal communication is a fact. During the first two months of a baby’s life, the stimulus that produces a smile is a pair of eyes. The eyes need not be real: a mask with two dots will produce a smile. Significantly, a real

human face with eyes covered will not motivate a smile, nor will the sight of only one eye when the face is presented in profile. This attraction to eyes as opposed to the nose or mouth continues as the baby matures. In one study, when American four-year-olds were asked to draw people, 75 percent of them drew people with mouths, but 99 percent of them drew people with eyes. In Japan, however, where babies are carried on their mother’s back, infants do not acquire as much attachment to eyes as they do in other cultures. As a result, Japanese adults make little use of the face either to encode (编码) or decode meaning. In fact, Argyle reveals that the “proper place to focus one’s gaze during a conversation in Japan is on the neck of one’s conversation partner.”

The role of eye contact in a conversational exchange between two Americans is well defined: speakers make contact with the eyes of their listener for about one second, then glance away and they talk; in a few moments they re-establish eye contact with the listener or reassure themselves that their audience is still attentive, then shift their gaze away once more. Listeners, meanwhile, keep their eyes on the face of the speaker, allowing themselves to glance away only briefly. It is important that they are looking at the speaker at the precise moment when the speaker assumes that they are disinterested and either will pause until eye contact is resumed or will terminate the conversation. Just how critical this eye maneuvering is to the maintenance of conversational flow becomes evident when two speakers are wearing dark glasses; there may be a sort of traffic jam of words caused by interruption, false starts, and unpredictable pauses.

A. something the value of which is largely a matter of long debate B. something through which one can see a person’s inner world C. of considerable significance in making conversations interesting D. of extreme importance in expressing feelings and exchanging ideas 7. Babies will not be stimulated to smile by a person ____A_____. A. whose face is seen from the side B. whose face is covered with a mask C. whose front view is fully perceived D. whose face is free of any covering

___C______.

A. they don’t like to keep their eyes on the face of the speaker B. they need not communicate through eye contact

C. they didn’t have much opportunity to communicate through eye contact in babyhood D. they don’t think it polite to have eye contact

9. According to the passage, a conversation between two Americans may break down due to ___A_____. A. improperly-timed ceasing of eye contact B. eye contact of more than one second

C. one temporarily glancing away from the other D. constant adjustment of eye contact

10. To keep a conversation flowing smoothly, it is better for the participants____C____. A. not to make any interruptions

B. not to glance away from each other C. not to wear dark spectacles

D. not to make unpredictable pauses

Passage Three

Many a young person tells me he wants to be a writer. I always encourage such people, but I also explain that

there’s a big difference between being a writer and writing. In most cases these individuals are dreaming of wealth and fame, not the long hours alone at a typewriter. “You’ve got to want to write,” I say to them, “not want to be a writer.”

The reality is that writing is a lonely, private and poor-paying affair. For every writer kissed by fortune there are thousands more whose longing is never rewarded. When I left a 20-year career in the U.S. Coast Guard to become a freelance writer, I had no prospects at all. What I did have was a friend who found for me my room in a New York apartment building. It didn’t even matter that it was cold and had no bathroom. I immediately bought a used manual typewriter and felt like a genuine writer.

After a year or so, however, I still hadn’t got a break and began to doubt myself. It was so hard to sell a story that barely made enough to eat. But I knew I wanted to write. I had dreamed about it for years. I wasn’t going to be one of those people who died wondering. What if? I would keep putting my dream to test (even though it meant living with uncertainty and fear of failure). This is the shadow-land of hope, and anyone with a dream must learn to live there.

11. The passage is meant to ____A____.

A. warn young people of the hardships that a successful writer has to experience B. advise young people to give up their idea of becoming a professional writer C. show young people it is unrealistic for a writer to pursue wealth D. encourage young people to pursue a writing career

12. What can be concluded from the passage? D A. Genuine writers often find their work interesting and rewarding. B. A writer’s success depends on luck rather than on effort. C. Famous writers usually live in poverty and isolation. D. The chances for writers to become successful are small.

13. Why did the author begin to doubt himself after the first years of his writing career? B A. He was not able to produce a single book. B. He hadn’t seen a change for the better.

C. He wasn’t able to have a rest for a whole year. D. He found his dream would never come true.

14. In “...people who died wondering”, “who” refers to those ___B_____. A. who think too much of the dark side of life B. who regret giving up their career halfway C. who think a lot without making a decision D. who are full of imagination even upon death

15. “Shadow-land” in the last sentence refers to _____C_ __. A. the wonderland one often dreams about

B. the bright future that one is looking forward to

C. the state of uncertainty before one’s final goal is reached D. a world that exists only in one’s imagination

Passage Four

What do we think with? Only the brain? Hardly. The brain is like a telephone exchange. It is the switchboard, but not the whole system. Its function is to receive incoming signals, make proper connections, and send the messages through to their destination. For efficient service, the body must function as a whole.

But where is the mind? Is it in the brain? Or perhaps in the nervous system? After all, can we say that the mind is in any particular place? It is not a thing, like a leg, or even the brain. It is a function, an activity. Aristotle,

twenty-three hundred years ago, observed that the mind was to the body what cutting was to the ax. When the ax is not in use, there is no cutting. So is the mind. “Mind,” said Charles H. Woolbert, “is what the body is doing.” If this activity is necessary for thinking, it is also necessary for carrying thought from one person to another. Observe how people go about the business of ordinary conversation. If you have never done this painstakingly (费力的), you have a surprise in store, for good conversationalists are almost constantly in motion. Their heads are continually nodding and shaking sometimes so vigorously that you wonder how their necks can stand the strain. Even the legs and feet are active. As for the hands and arms, they are seldom still for more than a few seconds at a time.

These people, remember, are not making speeches. They are merely common folk trying to make others understand what they have in mind. They are not conscious of movement. Their speech is not studied. They are just human creatures in a human environment, trying to adapt themselves to a social situation. Yet they converse, not only with oral language, but with visible actions that involve practically every music in the body.

In short, because people really think all over, a speaker must talk all over if he succeeds in making people think.

16. Which of the following is the best title for the passage? A A. Bodily Communication B. Bodily Actions C. Spoken Language D. Conversations

17. Which of the following statements would the author agree with? D A. Thinking is a social phenomenon. B. Thinking is solely a brain function.

C. Thinking is a function of the nervous system. D. Thinking is the sum total of body activity.

18. In communication, it is essential not only to employ speech, but also _____B___. A. to speak directly to the other person

B. to employ a variety of bodily movements C. to be certain that the other person is listening

D. to pay great attention to the other person’s behavior

19. It can be inferred from the passage that the basic function of bodily activity in speech is to ___C______. A. make the listener feel emotional B. make the speaker understood

C. amplify or intensify the speaker’s spoken words D. convey the speaker’s implied meaning to the listener 20. Which of the following is TRUE? A A. The brain is compared to a telephone exchange. B. The mind is an activity of the nervous system. C. Some people remain still while talking to others.

D. Many people move their bodies on purpose while talking.

Part I Reading Comprehension (40%)

Section A

Directions: There are three reading passages in this section. Each passage is followed by some questions or

unfinished statements. For each of them there are four suggested answers marked A, B, C and D. Choose the best answer to each question.

Questions 1 to 5 are based on the following passage:

Students can travel in the United States without spending too much money if they follow these suggestions. A travel agent can give you information on special economy fares for trains, buses and planes. Think about hiking or biking for a part of your trip, too. You’ll not only save money, but you’ll also see a lot more of the country.

Some students may want to travel by car. Be sure to think about going with other students — many colleges have “ride boards” that list when and where other students plan to travel. Many radio stations provide the same sort of service — they announce who’s driving where, when, how many riders they will take and what the expenses will be.

There are many inexpensive, older hotels near bus or train stations. Check your travel guide for names of the best. Many parts of the country also have youth hostels where young people can stay for only a few dollars a night.

You don’t have to eat in restaurants all the time, but we don’t recommend a diet of candy and cola, either. You can usually get a healthy, cheap breakfast in a restaurant. If the weather is warm, you can buy food in supermarkets or at roadside stands and have a picnic for lunch. For dinner you can get the names of good, cheap restaurants from travel guides or friends.

1. The passage tells students ___C_____.

Questions 6 to 10 are based on the following passage: Throughout her working life, a ship — like a motorcar — must be serviced regularly if she is to remain efficient. After a period at sea she must be overall checked and any necessary repairs must be made. There are also instances when a ship must be converted from being one kind of carrier to another. Most of today’s oil, for example, is carried by huge super-tankers. The smaller tankers, many of which are still in good condition, can be

converted into bulk carriers（散货船）for the transport of sugar, coal or ore.

Conversion or repair work is carried out in a dry dock, a huge hole cut into the ground and lined with concrete. At one end are large gates separating the dock from the river or sea. When these gates are opened, water pours into the dock and fills it. A ship can then enter the dock, where it is carefully fastened in an upright position. When the ship is positioned inside the dock, the gates are closed and the water is pumped out. The vessel slowly settles on to wooden blocks. Wooden supporters are put in position between the ship and the sides of the dock to prevent her from rolling over. Great care is taken to make sure that the ship rests evenly on the keel（龙骨）blocks to prevent damage being done.

As soon as the ship is firmly positioned, repair or conversion work can begin on her body or superstructure.

6. According to the passage, in what way is a ship like motorcar? B

A. It needs to be repaired in a dry dock. B. It requires regular service.

C. It can be converted into other kinds of vehicle. D. It has a long working life.

7. Many smaller tankers have been converted into bulk carriers because ___C____.

A. there is a shortage of oil in the world

B. large amounts of sugar, coal and ore is needed in the world market C. most of today’s oil is carried by huge super-tankers D. many of them are still in good condition 8. We can infer that a dry dock _____A___.

A. is built by the water B. is built far from the water C. is built under the water D. is floating on the water

9. What do you think will happen to a dry dock when the repairs to a ship are completed? B

A. The water is pumped into it again.

B. The gates are opened and the water pours in. C. It is floated out to sea.

D. It is converted to another kind of dock.

10. According to the passage, how is a ship kept upright in a dry dock? D

A. It is lined with concrete. B. It is placed on keel blocks. C. It is fastened to the shore. D. It is supported with pieces of wood.

Questions 11 to 15 are based on the following passage: Clifford Stoll ran a computer system in Berkelely, California. As a system administrator, he kept a close eye on the records. One day, Stoll found something strange in the payment record. There was a 75 cents mistake. One of the thousands of users had used the system for 75 worth of time and not paid for it. It might sound like very little money to worry about. But that 75 cents was the first clue Stoll had to a much bigger problem — that a hacker（黑客）had broken into Stoll’s computer system. Who was it? Stoll spent the next year trying to find out. During that time the hacker used the system in Berkelely as a starting point to break into military computer systems all over the United States. Stoll had to keep track of the hacker’s activities on the computer without the hacker’s knowing someone was watching him. Stoll even made up huge files of false information so the hacker would have lots to read. When the hacker spent long time reading, the telephone company was able to trace the lines. After a year, the hacker was

traced back to his computer — in Germany. He was later caught by the German police.

11. The passage is mainly about _____C___.

A. how Stoll ran his computer system

B. how a hacker used the computer system without paying the money C. how a hacker was tracked down by Stoll D. how the police caught a hacker by surprise

12. The expression “keep a close eye on” in paragraph 1 most probably means ____A____.

A. to watch carefully B. to notice unexpectedly C. to study closely D. to observe at a short distance 13. Stoll was concerned about a 75 cents mistake because ___D_____.

A. every cent was important to the company B. it might lead to a greater loss for the company

C. he was afraid the computer system might break down some day D. he realized someone had broken into the computer system

14. What did Stoll decide to do when he found the problem? C A. To report to the police.

B. To warn the telephone company. C. To track down the hacker by himself. D. To see what the hacker would do next.

15. Why did Stoll make up huge files of false information? B A. He wanted to give the hacker a lesson.

B. It would help the telephone company trace the line.

C. It would give the police more time to find out the hacker. D. He could watch the hacker’s activities more closely.

Section B

Directions: There is one reading passage in this section. The passage is followed by five statements. Decide

whether these statements are true of false according to the passage. Write “T” for true and “F” for false in the brackets behind each statement. In most cities in the United States, there are both large and small food stores. People can buy fruit and vegetables in one store, meat in another, and bread and milk somewhere else. However, many people prefer to shop at a large grocery store or supermarket near their homes. As people in cities live near several different kinds of food stores, they can often walk to a store when they need something. In the suburbs or the country, people usually drive to shopping centers to buy all their groceries. A shopping center usually has a big supermarket, many small stores, drugstores, banks, restaurants and a cinema. There is also a large parking lot for all the cars. Shopping centers are convenient because people can park their cars and do all their shopping and banking in one trip. People in towns can do a week’s shopping in an hour or two. Supermarkets usually sell many kinds of products, so people can shop for food, cleaning items and other products at one store. Most supermarkets sell several brands of canned and frozen food produced by different companies. Many of these stores also sell a brand with the name of the store on it. These store brands are almost always less expensive than products from other companies.

16. People can buy different kinds of products in one store in the city. ( F )

17. It is very convenient for people in the city to buy what they want because the stores are quite near.

( T )

18. People in the city go to a shopping center by car because it is usually far from their homes. ( T ) 19. People can do all their shopping and entertain themselves in a large supermarket. ( F )
