　　How to Create a Home Library

　　“I cannot live without books,” declared U.S. President Thomas Jefferson to his friend John Adams. Indeed, Jefferson was an obsessive book collector from a young age, amassing (收集) three separate home libraries in his lifetime. Jefferson’s library was considered the finest in the country, and his collection doubled the holdings of the Library of Congress. Still, Jefferson didn’t let the shelves at Monticello sit empty. By the time he died 11 years later, he had more than 2 000 volumes in his library.

　　Jefferson’s library might fit your conception of an old-fashioned home library with leather-bound books, wood paneling and uncomfortable furniture. But home libraries can be a dynamic expression of the owner’s personality. Creating a home library is a fun way to display your interests while establishing a special space for reading.

　　Home Library Organization

　　When you started using the public library, you probably learned about Melvil Dewey and his system for ordering libraries. The Dewey Decimal Classification System has ten broad categories for organizing books,including philosophy, religion and the arts. Each category is assigned a number, so for example, when you want a book on modern art, you head to the 700 block. Larger libraries, such as those at universities, tend to use the Library of Congress Classification System because it offers a more specific array of subjects for categorization, adding subjects such as medicine and law for a total of 21 categories.

　　Your home library may or may not be as large as your local public library, but a good system of organization will still help you find the book you want quickly, You could take a page from Dewey and the Library of Congress and sort books by subject matter. Sections for subjects such as history, technology or fiction might make their retrieval easier. This system also would allow you to highlight a particular passion, such as an extensive collection of World War Ⅱ history.

　　Here are some other ways to organize a collection.

　　Alphabetizing by author works well for fiction but not necessarily for nonfiction books of various subjects.

　　Judging a book by its cover is usually frowned upon, but sorting by color can be aesthetically pleasing to some . Those generally forgetful about the colors of their books might disagree.

　　After a painful breakup, the main character in Nick Hornby’s book High Fidelity organizes his record collection autobiographically in the order he acquired them. A chronological organization might include shelves that track the progress of your life, from beloved childhood reading and college textbooks to parenting books.

　　To some readers, there are two ways to look at books: read and unread . Prioritizing (区间优化次序) when you might need the book will allow you to keep unread books at the forefront of your collection ,as well as books you reach for frequently, such as reference books or favorite novels.

　　Library Furniture

　　While it might be difficult for a book lover to spend money on something other than books, at some point, you will need some bookshelves. Built-in, bookshelves can provide floor-to-ceiling storage and space savings. They can be tucked under staircases or other out-of-the-way spaces; however, they’re not a good choice for renters, and they can respresent a big investment in terms of price and installation. Freestanding bookcases are widely available in a variety of sizes, colors and price points. You can also mount hanging bookshelves onto the wall or buy glass cases, which might be preferable if your collection includes antique books that you want to preserve.

　　Sagging poses the main threat to bookshelves. A bookshelf that is 36 inches long should have shelves at least one inch thick. If it’s longer, then it should be thicker so that it won’t droop under the weight. One tip for maximizing space on the shelves is to use adjustable bookshelves, so that very small books don’t take up space that can be better used for taller coffee table books. You can also decorate bookshelves with personal items, such as photographs and souvenirs. Not only will this break up the rows of books visually, it will also give you room to expand as your collection grows.

　　As your bookshelves creep up the wall, you may need a library ladder to reach them. While any step stool or ladder will do, rolling library ladders add an elegant, whimsical (异想天开的) touch. The ladders attach to the shelf on a tracking rod, and the bottom of the ladder has wheels, so that you can move effortlessly from one end of the library to the other.

　　When considering other library furniture, think about how you’ll be using the room . If you’ll be writing and taking notes on your reading, you may want a desk or a lap desk. Desks and bookstands are also helpful for reading those big volumes that are too heavy to hold up comfortably. Overstuffed couches and chairs will beckon guests to spend a few hours reading, but if you fall asleep as soon as you hit the couch, you may need to consider other options, particularly if you’ll be doing scholarly or professional reading.

　　Wherever you’re sitting, it will be hard to enjoy a library if you’re suffering from eyestrain, fatigue and headaches, which can all be brought on by poor lighting. When selecting lighting, look for a lamp that will help you see the smallest text you read. The lamp should be positioned over your shoulder, so that the light is not directly in your eyes. Positioning it this way will also help to minimize glare. Your lamp should be brighter than the rest of the room but not that much brighter. However, all light will eventually damage books, so use it at a minimum.

　　Book Care

　　Do you devour books quickly ? You’re not the only one. Some insects love books, but not for a good story. Book-worms are not just those readers that have their nose in a book all the time. The more dangerous kind will tunnel through the book, eat the pages and lay eggs in it.

　　Once you identify an infestation, isolate the affected books. In some cases, you can seal the books in plastic bags and freeze them to kill the insects. Keeping your library free of excess moisture and dust will help to prevent an attack by these insects and vermin (害虫).

　　Controlling moisture and dust doesn’t just keep away the book bugs though . Moisture in the air will also promote the growth of fungus and mold. Mold develops at temperatures greater than 70 degrees Fahrenheit, and with 65 percent relative humidity. Dehumidifiers will suck excess moisture out of the air, moisture that could otherwise lead to loose bindings, stains and mildew. Oppositely, too little humidity can dry out books, so use a humidifier in the drier winter months. Dust is also a magnet for moisture and mildew, so periodically dusting the tops of books will keep them clean.

　　In addition to a humidifier, you also might need a fan to keep the library well ventilated. Books should be stored away from radiators and kept in a room between 60 oF and 70 oF. Air conditioners and fans are fine to use to keep the temperature down. Extreme heat will damage books; if heat occurs in a room with low humidity, the fibers in the books will dehydrate, turning the pages brittle. In combination with high humidity, heat creates ideal growing conditions for mold.

　　As we mentioned in the last section, lighting can damage books because it leads to bleaching (漂白), fading and eventual deterioration. Natural lighting is the most dangerous. If your library has windows, draw the blinds or curtains to minimize injury. Limiting the intensity light and duration of exposure will help to preserve the books.

　　Part Ⅱ Reading Comprehension (Skimming and Scanning) (15 minutes)

　　Directions: In this part, you will have 15 minutes to go over the passage quickly and answer the questions on Answer Sheet 1.For questions 1-7, choose the best answer from the four choices marked A), B), C) and D). For questions 8-10, complete the sentences with the information given in the passage.

　　Human Networking

　　I knew no computer or technology ever got any of us a raise, landed us that dream job, found us that mentor (良师) who cared deeply for us and our careers or put that special joy in our lives that can only come from relationships with others.

　　All these great things are made possible by a completely different type of networking-human networking. And not the kind that has given “networking” a bad name-that superficial, insincere, manipulative stuff that we all can smell a mile away. No, I’m talking about the true art of networking, based upon respectful and caring relationships that promote mutual success.

　　Relationships

　　Let me start with one of the most fundamental aspects of human relaitionships. For each and every thing you want to achieve in life-whether it’s landing a job,earning a raise or promotion or finding that lifelong romance-there will be at least one person on the other end deciding whether to give you or help you get what you want. Everything we do can only be accomplished through and with other people. Simply put, success, of any kind, requires relationships. Just think of the words of Margaret Wheatley: “Relationships are all there is. Everything in the universe only exists because it is in relationship to everything else. Nothing exists in isolation. We have to stop pretending we are individuals that can go it alone.”

　　If this is the way the universe works, you can see why human relationships and human networks are so important.

　　The most common mistake people make when building relationships for their career success is treating business contacts diffierently from personal friends. Just think for a moment about the people you work with on a professional level who are also close, personal friends. Aren’t they always more forgiving when you slip up and more helpful when you’re in need ? Of course! I guarantee your work will become easier and more joyful if you make more of your business relationships personal.

　　How to do it ? The same way as you make genuine friends. Build trust through intimacy; show them that besides being professional, you’re also human. Skip the small talk and go deep into what really matters -your dreams or fears, your children or the business issues that keep you up right at night. And don’t think for a moment that they’ll think less of you . In fact, usually the opposite happens.

　　When I tell people about my humble beginnings-I grew up a country boy in rural, southwestern Pennsylvania, the son of an often unemployed steelworker and a cleaning lady and how it took me so long to overcome my insecurities of being poor and being picked on by kids from more well-to-do families. People don’t think less of me. They immediately empathize (感同身受) and feel more endeared to me than ever before. All you have to do is let your guard down and show enough vulnerability to make others comfortable with opening up to you.

　　Also, don’t stop with treating business friends as you treat personal friends. Mix them,too. Invite business contacts to your home and introduce them to your family. Invite a client out to dinner along with an old pal from school and your significant others or a date. Don’t compartmentalize (划分) your personal, profeessional and community lives.Blur the boundaries! You’ll have more fun and do more for all three parts of your life in less time.

　　Planning

　　The more specific you are about what you want to do, the easier it becomes to develop a strategy to accomplish it. Part of that strategy , of course , will be establishing relationships with the people in your universe who can help you get where you’re going. So, first, do some deep introspection (自省) to find your Blue Flame, the thing in life that really lights your fire. Write, pray, whatever you need to do to clear your head and figure this stuff out. I enjoy great results from Vipassana meditation.

　　Once you’ve found your Blue Flame, it’s time to have a RAP, or a Relationship Action Plan. Here’s a simlpe way to get started. Write down your goals and the names and types of people who can help you achieve them. Then, note how you can reach those people and how you can contribute to their success, too. The more specific a plan you have and the more you put your goals out to others, the more everyone will conspire to help you achieve your dreams. On the other hand, if you don’t know what you want or you don’t tell anyone, no one can help you. They can’t read your mind.

　　I can’t tell you how many times a friend has called me and said, “Keith, I just became unemployed. I need to start networking; will you teach me how ?” My answer : “No. No. No. You need to start job-hunting! You should have been building relationships for the past 5 or 10 years, so now that you neeed a job, you could make 20 calls and have 5 job offers waiting for you in a week.”

　　Presentation

　　When I give talks to college and graduate students they always ask me, “What are the secrets to success ? What are the unspoken rules for making it big ? Perferably, they’d like my response wrapped up in a tight package and tied with a neat little bow. Why not ? I wanted the same thing at their age.

　　“So you want the inside scoop,” I respond. “Fair enough, I’ll sum up the key to success in one word: Generosity.” The kids are shocked because they think I’m going to give them “netwoking” advice. And when they think of “networking”, they think of a guy holding a martini with one hand and scattering business cards with the other. He’s hell-bent on doing anything it takes to “get to the top”,including climbing on the backs of others.

　　The era of that Networking Jerk is over. I learned that the hard way. Once, a mentor of mine said to me, “ Stop driving yourself and-everyone else -crazy thinking about how to make yourself successful. Strat thinking about how you’re going to make everyone around you successful.”

　　Please, learn from my mistakes and the mistakes of many others. Don’t be a networking jerk. Remember that the NO.1 key to success is generosity. Give your talents, give your constacts and give your hard work to make others successful without ever keeping score.

　　While I would say that your relationships are the most critical piece of your personal brand, before you can develop those relationships you’ve got to know something and have something to say. Just having a brain and an MBA won’t get you anywhere anymore. If you want to become more valuable in the marketplace or more intriguing to the world at large, you must develop some deep expertise in your mind and root some higher-order passion in your heart.

　　Think of the world’s real movers and shakers; they are such because they are about something: Richard Branson-executing the remarkable; the late Princess Diana-helping the unfortunate. They are and were interesting .You can be, too.

　　Strength in Numbers

　　This rule is obviously one no one can follow 100 percent. It’ just a great way to remember to share your passions to invite others into the activities you are already enjoy doing. I really love sharing delicious food, good wine and great company. I aloso bring friends to workouts or to church. You might have similar passions, or you might enjoy doing community service, gardening or watching movies.

　　If you’ll just remember to share your passions, building and deepening relationships will take no extra time than you already devote to your favorite activities, and people will see you in your best light.

　　Just as people lose weight more effectively if they have a workout partner, your ongoing efforts to build relationships will be more successful if you team up. You and your buddy can provide each other support, guidance and motivation. And you’ll always be prepared to try one of my favorite tactics-trading networks. Throw a dinner party together, and you’ll each be responsible for only half the guest list, half the cost and half the effort. But you’ll expand your circle of friends to twice the size, and I guarantee it will be twice the fun!

　　Part Ⅳ Reading Comprehension (Reading in Depth) (25 minutes)

　　Section A

　　Directions:In the section, there is a short passage with 5 questions or incomplete statements. Read the passage carefully. Then answer the questions or complete the statements in the fewest possible words. Please write your answers on Answer Sheet 2.

　　Questions 47 to 51 are based on the following passage.

　　The strain of avian influenza virus that has led to the deaths of 140 million birds and 60 people in Asia in the past two years appears to be slowly acquiring genetic changes typical of the “Spanish flu” virus that killed 50 million people nearly a century ago, researchers said yesterday.

　　How far the “bird flu” virus has traveled down the evolutionary path to becoming a pandemic virus is unknown. Nor is it certain that the much-feared strain, designated as influenza A/H5N1, will ever acquire all the genetic features necessary for rapid, worldwise spread.

　　Nevertheless, the similarities between the Spanish flu virus of 1918 and the H5N1 strain slowly spreading through Asia provide unusually concrete evidence of how dangerous the newer virus is. At least four of its eight genes now contain mutations seen in the deadly strain that circled the globe during and the after World WarⅠ.

　　The comparison of the old and new flu viruses is the first practical use of a science use of a science-fiction-like scenario that concluded yesterday with the release of two papers, one by the journal Science and the other by its chief competitor, Nature.

　　After 10 years of work, Taubenberger and his team succeeded in reconstructing the Spanish flu virus, which was responsible for the deadliest epidemic since the Black Death of the Middle Ages. Reborn in the mid-August at a high-security laboratory at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention in Atlanta, the pathogen appears in animal experiments to be as lethal as it was in human 87 years ago.

　　The report came as the United States, many other countries and the World Health Organizatiom are making increasingly urgent preparations for a new flu pandemic. The Department of Health and Human Services is stockpiling antiviral drugs and is buying enough experimental bird flu vaccine to inoculate 20 million people. President Bush ( the former president of America ) said in a news conference this week that he is considering the use of the military to enforce quarantines, if necessary, and that the government’s long-awaited pandemic plan will be released soon.

　　What makes the accomplishment reported yesterday so remarkable is that no intact samples of the Spanish flu virus exist. When the pandemic occurred in 1918 and early 1919— only American Samoa and parts of Iceland appear to have been spared— microbiologists did not know for certain what caused it. ( The influenza virus was not identified until 1933.) Although biologists were later able to deduce the broad family of influenza viruses the 1918 strain came from, its genetic identity was lost.

　　Section B

　　Directions: There are 2 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 Answer Sheet 2 with a single line through the centre.

　　Passage one

　　Questions 52 to 56 are based on the following passage.

　　For nearly half of my professional career, I was wrong about how to help students achieve. I had the wrong focus, made inaccurate assumptions, used faulty logic, and came to the wrong conclusions about how to increase stundent achievement. Although a high percentage of students persisted in and graduated from the programs in which I worked, they seldom became top achievers.

　　Here is where and how I went wrong . I designed procedures to identify the students who were least prepared so that we could build programs and services that would help more students achieve. I assumed that there were certain levels of preparation that students needed in order to succeed; that if students met or exceeded these preparation levels, everything would take care of itself ; that if students were prepared and met the expectations of their professors, then the normal courses of study and interactions with faculty would be sufficient to help students accomplish their goals.

　　Believing that student success depended on acquiring certain skills and knowledge, I used a combination of standardized tests, institutionally developed instruments, and interview procedures to get a clear picture of whether each student was prepared or underprepared. This was good practice in many ways, but I eventually came to see that I had structured my practice with the tenets of the Deficit Remediation Educational Model, which has been predominant in education for decades and remains the most prevalent approach in use day. This model assumes that the first and most important thing to do is to”fix” the student. Programs and services based on this model are dedicated to helping students achieve by first diagnosing student needs , problems, ignorance, concerns, defects, and deficits. Those who use the Deficit Remediation Educational Model have the challenge of designing classes, workshops, programs, and services to help stundents improve in areas in which they are underprepared. Based on the diagnosis, participation in remedial programs and services is often required. Students are usually prevented from pursuing other areas of study and from pursuing their interests until their “deficits” have been removed and their “problems” have been overcome. Typically, if students are unable to overcome their deficiencies by an established date, they are dismissed or told that they aren’t college material.

　　What would happen if we turned our traditional retention effort on its head ? If we developed programs that helped students assess their strengths and then apply those strengths to their studies ? Of course, we would still assist students in improving their ability to write well or to master mathematics or to read their political science text more efficiently and critically, but all this would be in the context of helping them identify, further develop, and apply what they can already do well. In my experience, this approach is tremendously motivating, contributes to a sense of agency, and helps young people stay in college.

　　Passage Two

　　Questions 57 to 61 are based on the following passage.

　　Dowes Ginting, the most wanted man on Sumatra island, lay dying. He had abandoned the hospital where he had seen his relatives succumb one after anther, and he had fled deep into the

　　mountains,trying to outrun the black magic that he feared had marked him next . For four nights, witnesses recalled, a witch doctor hovered over him in a small clapboard home, resisting the evil spell.

　　Ginting, a tough 32-year-old, had watched disease burn through his family over the previous two weeks, killing six and sickening two others, including himself. International health experts grew increasingly concerned when laboratory tests confirmed they were sickened by bird flu, the largest cluster of the disease ever recorded . But Dowes feared medical treatment more than he did the flu. And so he ran, potentially exposing villagers across the province to the highly lethal virus.

　　In the end, the outbreak in May did not predict the start of a worldwise epidemic. But the enormous difficulties that Indonesian and international disease specialists confronted in investigating the outbreak and protecting against its spread raised fundamental questions about whether bird flu could be contained were it converted into a form more easily spread among people.

　　“If this were a strain with sustainable transmission from human to human, I can’t imagine how many people would have died, how many lives would have been lost,” said Surya Dharma, chief of communicable disease control in North Sumatra province.

　　Officials from the World Health Organization, drawing on sophisticated computer modeling of a theoretical bird flu outbreak in Southeast Asia, have suggested that an epidemic could be twisted through a rapid containment effort in the affected area, including the right mix of drugs quarantines (隔离，封锁) and other social controls.To succeed, the antiviral drug Tamiflu would have to be distributed to 90 percent of the targeted population, roughly definded as those within at least a three-mile radius of each case. The drug would have to be administered within 21 days from the “timely detection” of the initial case of an epidemic strain. Residents would have to stay home, limit contact with others and take the medicine as prescribed.

　　In the case of the North Sumatra cluster, almost none of this happened, according to extensive interviews with health officers, family members and villagers in several areas of the province. The underlying problem was that most family members and many villagers were convinced that black magic not flu, was to blame.

　　“How can you ever get people to cooperate if they don’t even believe you ?” Dharma said.

　　On the fourth night, unfortunately, Dowes took an abrupt turn for the worse. The medicine man repeated his treatment several times in the night. And before his uncle lugged him to his Suzuki SUV parked out front and set off for the district hospital, Dowes had died.

　　D)Because his runaway exposed local inhabitants to the scaring flu.

　　58.What was (were) the last thing(s) that the disease specialists expected to meet ?

　　Part ⅠWriting

　　范文：

　　My View on On-campus College Students’ Marriage

　　It is a new thing that Chinese on-campus college students are legally allowed to get married before they complete their courses. Many people applaud this new development while others have expressed their concern about this.

　　Those who disapprove of this new trend believe that college stundents will inevitably have less time and energy for their academic life. One common argument, however, for on-compus college students’ marriage is that a number of students do have a desire for an ideal marriage. Now that they have come of age, they are entitled to such happiness.

　　Of the two views discussed above, I’m in favor of the former. My reason is that on-campus students are laden with academic tasks. If one gets married now, he or she has to work much harder than other students because they have to solve their financial problems at the same time. As a married couple, for instance, they are supposed to rent a room in or outside the university, which will naturally add to their spending.

　　Part Ⅱ Reading Comprehension (Skimming and Scanning)

　　1. C 由题干关键词The true art of networking 及 promote mutual success 可将答案定位至第二段末句：No，I’m talking about the art of networking，based upon respectful and caring relationships that promote mutual success. 原文指出，人际关系网络技巧是在互敬互爱的基础之上，从而促进双方的成功，based upon“建立在…之上”， 从而得出答案为C。

　　2. B 由题干的人名关键词Margaret Wheatley 可将答案定位至第一个小标题下第一段末尾：Just think of the words of Margaret Wheatley：“Relationships are all there is …We have to stop pretending we are individuals that can go it alone.”原文指出了玛格丽特?惠特利的观点，即宇宙中任何事物都是联系中存在着，没有事物可以完全孤立，我们也不能再假装认为我们是可以独立生活的个体。从而强调了人与人之间联系及合作的重要性，四个个选项中只有选项B表达了这个意思。

　　3. A 由题干关键词business contacts 可将答案定位至第一个小标题下第三段。由本段最后一句：I guarantee your work will become easier and more joyful if you make more of your business relationships personal. business contacts 指在生意上的合作伙伴，原文指出，如果能把工作关系变得更加私人化，那么工作将更加简单而快乐。make something+adj., 表示“使…变得…”，四个选项中，只有A的表达与之相同。

　　4. D 题干关键词humble experiences 与原文humble beginnings 意义相近，可将答案定位至第一小标题下第五段第一、二句。由第二句They immediately empathize and feel more endeared to me than ever before. 原文表明，当作者把自己的卑微经历告诉人们之后，并没有得到大家的嘲笑和瞧不起，相反，由于大家的身同感受反而使彼此的距离更加拉近了，humble experiences与humb beginnings是同义转述，表示自己过去卑微的经历，四个选项中，只是D项的表述与原文一致。

　　5. B 由题干关键词plan和first thing可将答案定位至第二小标题下第一段第三句：So，first，do some deep introspection to find your Blue Flame，the thing in life that really lights your fire.句中的Blue Flame，the thing that really lights your fire指的是生命中最重要的事情，因此答案为B

　　6. C 由题干关键词the key to success可将答案定位至第三个小标题下第二段中的I’ll sum up the key to success in one word：Generosity.根据作者的观点及总结，通往成功的秘诀只有一个：给予。故答案自然为C

　　7. A 由题干关键词 the era of that Networking Jerk is over可将答案定位至第三个小标题下第三段：The era of that Networking Jerk is over. I learned that the hard way. Once，a mentor of mine said to me，“Stop driving yourself-and everyone else-crazy thinking about how to make yourself successful. Start thinking about how you’re going to make everyone around you successful.” the era of that Networking Jerk指小人得道的年代。原文指出，任何人都不应该疯狂地只向往自己的成功，应该想一想，怎样才能帮助周围的人成功，这与上一道题所指出的成功地秘诀“给予”所表示的意思一样，因此本题选A

　　8. higher-order passion 由题干关键词deep expertise 可将答案定位至第三个小标题下第五段第三句：If you want to become more valuable… you must develop expertise in your mind and root some higher-order passion in your heart. 此处应填入名词性成分，与deep expertise 一起用作介词with的宾语，原文中的develop deep expertise与root some higher-order passion是表示并列的两个动作行为，因此根据题干句意，此处应填入higher-order passion，表示“更高涨的热情”。

　　9. your favorite activities 由题干关键词improve relationships 可将答案定位至第四个小标题下第二段：…building and deepening relationships will take no extra time than you already devote to your favorite activities，and people will see you in your best light.此处应填入名词性成分，作为介词to的宾语，原文指出应与大家一起分享你的激情，而这并不会占用或减少你做自己最喜欢的事情的时间。相反，会让大家看到你最闪光的一面。题干中的see you at your best 与文中的see you in your best light属同义转述，根据原文意思。此处应填入your favorite activities.

　　10. team up 由题干关键词effort 和success 可将答案定位至第四个小标题下末段首句：Just as people lose weight more effectively if they have a workout partner， your onging efforts to build relationships will be more successful if you team up. 此处应填入动词原形，原文中用锻炼的例子作为类比，表明如果合作起来， 那么人际关系的网络将会建立得更加成功，因此此处应填入team up。

　　Part Ⅲ Listening Comprehension

　　Section A

　　Directions: In this section, you will hear 8 short conversations and 2 long conversations. At the end of each conversation, one or more questions will be asked about what was said. Both the conversation and the questions will be spoken only once. After each question there will be a pause. During the pause, you must read the four choices marked A),B),C) and D),and decide which is the best answer. Then mark the corresponding letter on Answer Sheet 2 with a single line through the centre.

　　11.M: I need a DVD-player, but I don’t know where to buy them in this town.

　　W:As I was telling you, in our town where you shop depends largely on what you need. If you want a DVD-player, your best bet would probably be the store at the end of Shake Street.

　　Q: What can be inferred from the conversation ?

　　12.M: Excuse me. Are the frozen foods on special today ?

　　W: Yes, they’re a bargain today, and so is the dairy section.

　　Q: Where are the two speakers ?

　　13.M:I bet our team wil win the game. We’re already four scores ahead of the other team.

　　W:You can never tell. It’s still a bird in the bush.

　　Q:What does the woman mean ?

　　14.M:So many people applied for this job… I’ve made a list of six who are good possibilities. We should call them in for an interview. Will next Wednesday do ?

　　W:Next Wednesday, all right.

　　Q:Who are the two speaker talking about ?

　　15.M: Julia, your work is too messy!

　　W:I’ll pay attention to my handwriting next time. By the way, will I have to take a make-up exam next week ?

　　Q:Who is the man most probably speaking to ?

　　16.M:Excuse me, I’m afraid you came to the wrong table. This is not what I ordered. I ordered salad, but you brought me ice-cream.

　　W:I’m very sorry, I made a mistake.

　　Q:What does the man complain about ?

　　17.M:John’s business is on the rocks, and he’s very upset about it. Shall we go and cheer him up ? He needs someone to advise him.

　　W:Mind you own business ! He doesn’t need your advice at this moment, and he doesn’t want to see anyone.

　　Q:What are the speakers probably going to do ?

　　18.M:I have to admit you have a beautiful garden. How do you do it ? You must have hired a gardener.

　　W:No,I’d never do that. Working in the garden is the greatest form of relaxation that I know of !You’re got to love working in the garden―that’s my serect !

　　Q:Why does the woman have a beautiful garden ?

　　Now you’ll hear two long conversations.

　　Conversation One

　　W:What did you think about the movie ?

　　M:Well… I think Harry Potter Ⅴ is an excellent piece of work . But not as good as the previous ones.

　　W:Really ? I don’t agree. I think it was incredible !

　　M:Why do you think so ?

　　W:Well, one of the most spectacular things about it is the special effects.

　　M:You’re right. The special effects created so many fantastic settings and mysterious costumes,

　　weapons and creatures. The sprecial effects are the main reason for the success of this movie.

　　W:It’s kind of cool that they still use the themes song for this movie.

　　M:Yearh! It reminds me of the previous scenes.

　　W:I know exactly what you mean! Hearing that song makes me feel homesick.

　　M:I thought the overall plot of the movie was very interesting. But I don’t think the character development was that strong .They just don’t have a lot of funny or meaningful dialogues.The writing was a little boring and this may be the only one weakness of this movie.

　　W:Well, maybe, but I like the little kid who played young “Anakin Skywalker”. I can’t imagine anyone else playing that role.

　　M:I like him too. He’s so cute !You know, even though I was slightly disappointed, I can’t wait for the next episode. I wonder when they’re going to start making it and when it’s scheduled for release.

　　W:I have no idea. But I hope it’ll be even better than this one.

　　M:I hope so, too.

　　19.What are the two speakers talking about ?

　　20.What does the man think about the episode, compared with the previous ones ?

　　21.What is vital to the success of this movie ?

　　22.According to the man, what is the weakness of this movie ?

　　Conversation Two

　　W:I feel very excited that there are only less than 300 days left for 2008 Olympic Games in Beijing.

　　M:Yeah, I can’t wait to watch the games.

　　W:So do me. Will you book the tickets ?

　　M:Of course ! I would love to watch the Opening Ceremonies and some ball games. One of my

　　favorites is the Olympic Flame.

　　W:That’s always spectacular, isn’t it ? I think it’s a great tradition to start each Olympic with a new flame and then have the athletes and others pass the torch.

　　M:Did you know that to follow an ancient tradition, the Olympic Committee lights the flame on Mount Olympial using a mirror to focus the sun’s light ?

　　W:I didn’t realize … it would be nice to attend the lighting ceremony. I think it would be more fun, though, to run through the streets with the torch and pass it to someone else.

　　M:Sounds like you’ve caught the spirit of it. Today, passing the flame is meant to pass light and wisdom onto others.

　　W:Yeah. What I find also amazing is that the flame stays lit the whole period of the Olympic Games. Obviously, the Olympic Committee takes extra precaution to make sure the flames won’t die.

　　M:I guess that’s a key part of the tradition.

　　23.What is the man’s favorite ?

　　24.What lights the Olympic Flame ?

　　25.What does the flame stand for ?

　　Section B

　　Directions: In this section, you will hear 3 short passages. At the end of each passage, you will hear some questions. Both the passage and the questions will be spoken only once. After you hear a question, you must choose the best answer from the four choices marked A), B), C) and D).Then mark the corresponding letter on Answer Sheet 2 with a single line through the centre.

　　Passage One

Free Fun and ETC (English Travel Connections) are giving away two trips to Rochester. This historic city is less than an hour’s drive from London and close to the sea resort of Herne Bay.

　　26.What will the winner win according to the passage ?

　　27.Where is Charles Dickens’ home ?

　　28.What does the candidate have to know if he/she wants to win the prize ?

　　Passage Two

　　For many years now we have been referring to English as a gobal language, as the language of communication and technology, because it is used as a means of communication between, for example, a German scientist and an Italian politician.

　　Very soon English will be the second language of all the people in the world. This is happening while I am speaking to you . English will be a compulsory subject on every school curriculum throughout the world.

　　And what exactly does all of this mean for native speakers of English? Well , we are already in a minority. The widely used English won’t be British English or American English. It’ll be Majority English in the future. As more and more people speak English, it makes sense that they will become more competent. They will start to control more of the English resources being produced and to have a say in what should or shouldn’t be included in dictionaries and language books. This might seem far fetched but it is already starting to happen.

　　So native English speakers will be no longer competitive, since we will be the only people in the world who speak just one language. Because, there won’t be much of a reason for native English speakers to learn a second lauguage.

　　All of you native English speakers out there, whether you’re planning to visit Eastern Europe or the Himalayas, one thing you won’t have to worry about is the language !

　　29. Why has English been referred to as global language ?

　　30.What will be the widely used English in the future ?

　　31.Why will native English speakers be no longer competitive ?

　　Passage Three

　　You may have heard recently about what is being called the return of political cinema, following recent releases such as The Constant Gardener. So today I’m going to look at what political cinema is, and the history of political film making in Hollywood.

　　First of all, what do I mean by political cinema ? The terms refer to films that make people aware of political or social situations. For example, the film Hotel Rwanda caused many people to take notice of the political situation in Rwanda for perhaps the first time.

　　For many, the most prosperous period of political film making was the 1970s. Watergate, the Vietnam War, and famous actors with social consciences such as Jane Fonda, Robert Redford and Warren Beatty, made for a number of political films. Think of All the President’s Men, which detailed the corruption in Watergate.

　　Political film making didn’t start in the seventies, though. Back in the 1940s and 1950s Hollywood produced films detailing social problems such as unemployment. In 1967 Guess Who’s Coming to Dinner, a comedy about a white couple whose daughter brings home a black boyfriend, covered a subject of inter-racial relationships.

　　As I said, the seventies saw a sudden increase in political films, which carried on to some extent into the eighties, with the release of films such as Gandhi. The nineties is not generally seen as a good decade for political cinema. Schindler’s List stands out, which brings us to the present decade.

　　32.What is the passage about ?

　　33.When is political film the most prosperous ?

　　34.Which film is about the Watergate episode ?

　　35.What were political films produced in the 1940s and 1950s about ?

　　Section C

For blanks numbered from 44 to 46 you are required to fill in the missing information .For these blanks, you can either use the exact words you have just heard or write down the main points in your own words. Finally, when the passage is read for the third time, you should check what you have written.

　　At the end of his two terms in office, Ronald Reagan viewed with satisfaction the achievements of his innovative program known as the Reagan Revolution. This revolution aimed to (36)reduce American people’s reliance upon the government. He felt he had (37)fulfilled his campaign pledge of 1980 to restore “the great, confident roar of American (38)progress and growth and optimism”.

　　Ronald Reagan was nominated by Republicans in 1980 and chose as his running mate former United Nations Ambassador George Bush. Reagan (39) won 489 votes to 49 for President Jimmy Carter.

　　On January 20, 1981, Reagan took (40)office Unfortunately, only about 69 days later he was (41) shot by a would-be assassin, but quickly recovered and returned to (42) duty. Moreover, his grace and wit during the (43) dangerous incident caused his popularity to soar.

　　Dealing skillfully with Congress, Reagan obtained legislation to stimulate economic growth, curb inflation, increase employment, and strengthen national defense.(44)He embarked upon a course of cutting taxes and government expenditures. He also refused to deviate from it when the strengthening of defense forces led to a large deficit.

　　In foreign policy, Reagan sought to achieve “peace through strength”. (45)During his two terms he increased defense spending by 35 percent. He also sought to improve relations with the Soviet Union.In dramatic meetings with Soviet leader, he negotiated a treaty that would eliminate intermediate-range nuclear missiles. By ordering naval escorts in the Persian Gulf, he maintained the free flow of oil during the Iran-Iraq war.

　　Overall, the Reagan years saw a restoring of prosperity, and (46) the goal of peace through strength seemed to be within grasp.

　　51.American Samoa and parts of Iceland 题中的During and after World WarⅠ与in 1918 and early 1919同义， 定位末段的第二句，将原文中的主语用作此题中介词except的宾语，从而得到答案。

　　Section B

　　Passage One

　　52.A 此题题干的后半句话与文章首段的含义接近，但题干的核心部分是What proved。根据第一段最后两句的内容及展开句与主题句之间的逻辑关系可知，选项A为正确答案。

　　53.B wrong focus 出现在文章第一段，但第一段并未具体谈到错误的研究重心是什么，根据第二段的第二句话可推断出，研究者把工作的重心放在了寻求那些准备不充分的学生身上，故B为正确答案。

　　54.C 根据第三段可知，作者认为他的方法会导致学生在不能改正缺点时，就不能追求自己所感兴趣的事情，也会被告知自己不具备大学生的素质，所以很可能他们会遭受强烈的挫折感，从而失去继续努力学习的信心和兴趣，故C为正确答案。

　　55.B 题干中的deficits 在文章第三段先后出现了好几次，是此段的关键词，deficits是经济学术语，意为“亏损”，在本文中意为“缺陷、不足”。根据本句中它与remove 的搭配，以及此句后半句 “their ‘problems’ have been overcome” 猜测出该词词义为deficiencies。

　　56.D 作者对“注重开发学生长处来促进其学习的方法”的态度体现在最后一段最后一句， 他认为此法能促进学生，使他们具有行动(agency)的力量，能帮助年轻人完成学业;而A,B,C 三个选项都是对此段内容的误读，故D为正确答案。

　　Passage Two

　　57.D 题干中的the most wanted man 出现在第一段第一句中， 但问题的答案需要考生查读至第二段才能找到：Dowes Ginting 引起国际专家的恐慌主要因为他是目前传染性最强的疾病病毒携带者，他的出走使得附近的居民处于被传染的危险状态，所以专家们希望尽快找到他。故选D为正确答案。

　　58.C 根据文章第三段末句和和第四段开头中的if从句可以判定，他们最担心禽流感会转变成一种可能在人群中传播的疾病，那么染病去世的人数会无法估量。 故C为正确答案。

　　59.B 采用排除法， 将原文与各个选项对照进行仔细阅读， 可以得知药物应送至离发病区至少三英里的范围内，所以不能说四英里就不该得到药物，故B为正确答案。

　　60.A 根据文章最后两段可知，当地居民不愿意去医院就医， 而宁愿相信巫术，所以不会和疾病专家合作，文章首段也提到过Dowes Ginting 逃离医院后，在巫医那里寻求治疗方法的案例，故A 为正确答案。

　　61.A 可根据文章首尾段判断当地居民的不合作态度， 缘于他们对禽流感疾病缺乏足够的认识， 他们不相信医学，所以才宁愿选择其他不合适的方法进行治疗故A为正确答案。

　　PartV Cloze

　　62.B 由and可知所填的词与alive是并列关系。B项thriving“兴旺的”符合文意，与传统婚姻的困难形成对比关系。A项surviving“继续存在的”;C项booming“急速发展的”;D项existing“现有的”。

　　63.C 所填词与空后的to 搭配。根据上下文可知这里是用来和欧洲人作比较的，故选C。relative to意为“相对于”。其他选项均与文意不符。

　　64.D 分析上下文可知，空后边的部分是对前文内容的进一步说明，故所填词应该表示递进关系。四个选项中只有D项Moreover表示递进。

　　65.C 由句意可知，所填词与marriage和decline 形成语义场共现，C项rate符合文意，表示二十世纪七十年代早期美国结婚率下降。

　　66.B 本句的主、从句之间是对比关系。前一句讲到七十年代结婚率下降，故本句应该是结婚率上升了，比率的上升用increase。improve表示“改善，改进”。raise表示“上升，举起”。通常不与rate连用。

　　67.A 由空后的remarry可知，主语应是离过婚的人，故选A。B项separated“分开的”;C项isolated “孤立的”;D项broken“破碎的”。

　　68.D 空前的句子提到结婚率上升，空后的句子提到婚姻仍是大多数所喜欢的生活方式，故前后两个句子之间是因果关系，只有D项Thus构成因果关系，故为答案。

　　69.A 上句提到比婚姻(marry)变化更大的是核心家庭，即小家庭(the nuclear family)。与此相比，在25年前由丈夫、妻子和两三个孩子组成的家庭应该是典型的美国家庭，故选A。B项conservative “保守的”;C项traditional“传统的”;D项fashionable“时尚的”。

　　70.D 前面提到25年前典型的美国家庭一般有两三个孩子，空后提到许多夫妻决定不要孩子，这是在拿过去和现在作对比，故D为答案。

　　71.A 根据上下文可推知，许多家庭里至少有几个孩子是来自其父母以前的婚姻家庭，这里考查的是at构成的短语的辨析。at least“至少”;at most“最多”;at best“至多”;at worst“最坏”，故A符合文意。

　　72.C 根据上下文可推测，该句是说许多孩子来自父母以前的婚姻家庭，故C项previous“早先的，以前的”符合文意。A项primitive“原始的，古老的”;B项prior“优先的，在前的”;D项preliminary “预备的，初步的”。

　　73.D 该句中的these children 指的是那些离婚家庭的孩子，他们所跟的父母应是原有婚姻中一方，故答案为D。

　　74.B 由该空前边的分号可知该空前后的两个分句是并列关系，前一个分句中出现了sometimes ，后一分句应该与其对应，也用sometimes，故选B。

　　75.C 该空所在句与后面几个分句之间用分号隔开表明，它们之间是并列关系，介绍的都是家庭的类型。后面几个句子介绍的都是有孩子的家庭，并提到了孩子的来源。该句没有讲到孩子来自何处，故可知这里介绍的是没有孩子的家庭，故选C。

　　76.C 经分析可知这四个分句是按照孩子的情况由简单到复杂的顺序来排列的。上一句讲到没有孩子的家庭，后边两句讲到既有现在的婚姻中生的孩子，又有原来的婚姻中生的孩子的情况，依次递进。因此这里应该讲目前婚姻中生的孩子，故选C。

　　77.D 本段介绍在不同婚姻状态下孩子的情况，故选D。A项affection “感情”、B项happiness“幸福”、C项loves“爱情”均不符合文意。

　　78.B 从文中所列举的多种婚姻状况看，一个孩子有四个父母和八个祖父母的事情是不足为奇的，故选B

　　79.A 从文章中所描述的现代婚姻的情况来看，现在的家庭和传统的核心家庭已经有了很大的变化，A项enormous“巨大的，极大的”符合文意。B项considerable“相当大的”，通常与不可数名词或amount之类表数量的词连用。C项numerous “许多的，无数的”，通常指数量。D项giant“巨大的”。一般用来修饰体积。

　　80.B 前文提到美国的家庭状况相对于从前发生了很大的变化，后文指出大多数美国人都会结婚，由此可知这两个句子之间是转折关系，故选B项But，与even so(即使如此)在语气上保持一致。的美女编辑们

　　81.D 虽然美国家庭发生了许多变化，可是有一点是不变的，即大多数美国人成年后都会结婚。此处为介词短语提前引起的全部倒装，所以空中应填一不及物动词，故选D项remains“剩余，保留”。A项retains虽然也意为“保持，留”，但其是及物动词，故不选。

　　Part Ⅵ Translation

　　82.had interrupted me that evening 本题考查对interrupt用法的掌握。 interrupt意为”打断(某人)的讲话,打扰”, “打扰某人”可用interrupt sb. 来表达,因为interrupt发生在本句中的动词was之前,所以用had interrupted。

　　83.otherwise we would have telephoned him 本题考查对虚拟语气的掌握。句中的otherwise “否则” 是对前面所述事实的否定,实际上相当于一个与过去事实相反的虚拟条件句,即If we had known his telephone number,因此后面句子应该采用相应的虚拟语气,谓语动词用would have done 的形式。

　　84.do the nurses want a pay increase 本题考查对倒装结构的掌握。含有否定意义的词或短语在句中作状语时,如位于句首,则其所在句要求部分倒装。本句中not only(不仅)明显含有否定意义,故其所在的句子需要部分倒装,应将助动词do提到主语the nurses之前。

　　85.the extent of the damage caused by the fire / the extent of the damage that the fire caused 表示 “损害的程度”,一般用the extent of the damage; “火灾造成的”可以翻译成定语从句,也可以直接用过去分词作后置定语。

　　86.Despite the wonderful acting / In spite of the wonderful acting 本题考查对despite和in spite of用法的掌握。”精妙的演技”与后面的well-developed plot(构思巧妙的情节)是由and连接的并列成分，由此可知,本句中的”尽管”不能用连词来表达,而只能用介词despite 或介词短语in spite of。

　　For the past two years, I have been working on students’ evaluation of classroom teaching. I have kept a record of informal conversations 71 some 300 students from at 72 twenty one colleges and universities.

　　Obesity in Children

　　Obesity in children and adolescents is rising at an alarming rate. Currently over 15% of young people over 6 years old are obese, and obesity is also increasing among children aged 5 and younger.

　　Children are considered to be overweight if the BMI (Body Mass Index) is over 85% of the weight group in their age and sex categories. If it is 95% and over, they are considered to be obese. Adolescents are generally judged according to adult criteria for obesity, although there are other considerations in this population. Ethnic variations, timing of growth spurts, and higher normal fat levels around puberty can cause disparities in these measurements.

　　Causes and Risk Factors for Obesity in Children

　　Lifestyle Factors. Without educational or parental guidance, children are extremely vulnerable to the intense cultural pressures that are largely responsible for the obesity epidemic. Neither the media nor the educational system has strong well-financed programs that encourage healthy-alternatives, including exercise and healthy foods. The following are some specific problems created by the culture:

　　* Excessive television watching plays a critical role in obesity in children. Not only is it a sedentary activity, but television also offers innumerable temptations with its advertisements for fast foods, sugar cereals, and unhealthy snacks. In one study obesity rates were lowest in children who watched television one hour or less a day and highest in those who watched four or more hours.

　　* Sugar, particularly from soda, other sweetened beverages, and fruit juice, may be major contributors to childhood obesity. One study reported that drinking soda regularly increases a child’s risk for obesity by 60%.

　　* Less physical exercise and greater sedentary activities play another significant role in obesity in children. A high level of physical, activity-not just using up energy-is important for weight control in young people.

　　Family History. Parental obesity more than doubles the risk that a young child, whether thin or overweight, will become obese as an adult. In older children and teenagers, obesity in parents starts to count less as a predictor for body weight than their own weight. The risk may be due to environmental or genetic factors, or both.

　　Ethnic and Socioeconomic Factors. As in adult populations, children from lower socioeconomic groups and minority populations are at higher risk for obesity. For example, among young Mexican Americans and African Americans, there has been an increase in overweight prevalence of about 13% to over 23%.

　　Factors Surrounding Birth. The following factors surrounding birth are associated with a child’s weight:

　　* Low birth weight is a risk factor for later obesity and diabetes. One theory is that humans have a “thrifty gene” that produces metabolic changes in infants with low birth weight. Such changes affect insulin and fat accumulation in order to produce a “catch-up” weight in these young children as quickly as possible. This rapid weight gain in infancy increases the gain risk for obesity in children and also in young adulthood.

　　* In a study of African American children, having an overweight pregnant mother increased the risk for later weight gain, but low birth weight did not.

　　Although some small studies have reported protection against obesity from breastfeeding, evidence is weak. In a 2003 study, for example, children who were breast fed for three to five months had a lower risk for obesity, but prolonged breastfeeding had no effect. Nevertheless, given the healthful effects of breast feeding and the possibility that it may have even a slight impact on childhood obesity, it is highly recommended.

　　Health Consequences of Childhood Obesity

　　Children and adolescents who are obese have poorer health than other children. Studies are reporting unhealthy cholesterol levels and high blood pressure in obese children and adolescents. Of great concern is the dramatic increase in type 2 diabetes in young people, which is most certainly largely due to the increase in obesity. Obesity in children is also linked to asthma, gallbladder problems, sleep apnea, and liver abnormalities. Childhood obesity may be partly responsible for the declining age for onset of puberty in girls, with subsequent risks for breast cancer.

　　It is not clear yet how many of these childhood problems persist in people who achieve normal weight as adults. Staying overweight into adulthood certainly confers health risks.

　　Managing Overweight and Obese Children

　　Childhood obesity is best treated by a non-drug, multidisciplinary approach including diet, behavior modification, and exercise. Some evidence suggests that reducing calories by only 200 to 260 per day would prevent weight gain in most overweight children. Here some tips for children who are overweight:

　　* Limit or avoid if possible take-out, fast foods, high-sugar snacks, commercial packaged snacks, soda and sugar sweetened beverages (including too much juice).

　　* Let children snack but make sure the snacks are healthy. Eating small frequent healthy meals (instead of two or three large ones) has been associated with being thinner and having a better cholesterol profile.

　　* Let children choose their own food portions. One study indicated that children naturally ate 25% less than they chose their own portion size. When they were given larger portions their bite sizes were larger and they ate more.

　　* Don’t criticize a child for being overweight. It does not help and such attitudes could put children at risk for eating disorders, which are equal or even greater dangers to health.

　　* Limit television, video games, and computer use to a few hours a week. This can contribute significantly to weight control, regardless of diet and physical activity.

　　* For young children, try the traffic-light diet. Food is designated with stoplight colors depending on their high caloric content: Green for go (low calories); yellow for “eat with caution” (medium calories); red for “stop” (high calories).

　　* Try a low-glycemic index diet. This may be as beneficial and possibly more than a standard reduced-fat diet in obese children. Such a diet focuses on carbohydrates, such as dried beans and soy, that raise blood sugar more slowly than others. This diet is sometimes used in diabetes and as a dietary approach in overweight adults.

　　1. Overweight children are those whose BMI is over 85% of the weight group in their age and sex categories.

　　2. The educational system is positive in promoting exercise and healthy foods, according to the passage.

　　3. It is observed that children watching television one hour or less a day tend to be less likely to suffer from obesity.

　　4. The intake of sugar among children is an important contributor to childhood obesity.

　　5. In most cases, obese children tend to have parents suffering obesity, as environmental or genetic factors are the major reasons for childhood obesity.

　　6. Infants with low birth weight may face a risk for obesity as they grow up into childhood and young adulthood.

　　7. For obese children, achieving a healthy weight becomes more difficult as they get older, as the persistence is biological.

　　8. Obese children and adolescents have poorer health, as they are reported to have unhealthy .

　　9. It is suggested that reducing calories would prevent weight gain in most overweight children.

　　10. The author believes that it does not help to criticize children for being overweight, as this may increase the risk for .

　　The comparatively treeless plains of North Africa have suffered a progressive drying up, both 47 and man-made, but the region was 48 so rich in fertile soil that the district we now know as the Libyan Desert was, in the old days, part of the granary (粮仓) of the Roman Empire, and the centre of the Sahara 49 a busy trading population for a long period. That was when there were 50 in plenty and the fields were the traditional “fields of the woods” -clearings in the forest-and therefore always tree 51 .

　　It is the trees that lift the water and send 52 into the air so that it may fall as dew or rain further on. Trees reduce the speed of the wind, and provide shelter and shade; the roots 53 minerals in the soil and these are carried to the leaves which, when they have fulfilled their function, return to the earth, giving the soil the combination of minerals that plants require.

　　But through the ages Africa has been 54 . Successive invaders have felled the forest to provide grazing lands for their flocks and herds. With the removal of the essential tree cover, the water 55 was broken, the earth became feverish and sick, and in course of time was unable to support those who had broken the 56 of life by removing the earth’s green mantle-the trees.

　　A) moisture B) cycle C) water D) rhythm

　　E) contain F) trap G) once H) surrounded

　　I) fed J) exploited K) social L) natural

　　M) forest N) usually O) trees

　　Section B

　　Directions:There are 2 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 2 with a single line through the centre.

　　Passage One

　　Questions 57 to 61 are based on the following passage.

　　No one knows when the first calendar was developed. But it seems possible that it was based on lunar months. When people started farming, the sages of the tribes became very important, they studied the sky and gathered enough information to be able to predict when the seasons would change, and were able to announce when it was time to plant crops.

　　The divisions of time we use today were developed in ancient Babylonia 4,000 years ago.Babylonian astronomers believed the sun moved around the Earth every 365 days.They divided the trip into 12 equal parts, each with 30 days. Then they divided each day into 24 equal parts, or hours, and divided each hour into 60 minutes, each minute into 60 seconds.

　　Humans have used many devices to measure time; the sundial (日晷) was one of the earliest and simplest. However, the sundial worked well only when the weather was fine, so other ways of measuring the passing of time were invented. One device was the hourglass(沙漏). By the eighteenth century, people had developed mechanical clocks and watches. So we have devices to mark the passing of time, but what time is it now? Clocks in different parts of the world do not show the same time at the same time, because time on Earth is set by the sun’s positions in the sky above us. As international communications and travel grew, it became clear that a way to establish a common time for all parts of the world was needed. In 1884, an international conference divided the world into 24 time zones, each zone represents one hour. The astronomical observatory in Greenwich, England, was chosen as the starting point for the time zones. Twelve zones are west of Greenwich. Twelve are east. The time at Greenwich measured by the sun is considered by astronomers to be Universal Time, also known as Greenwich Mean Time.

　　57. Which of the following is the best title for this passage?

　　A) The Development of Universal Time.

　　B) Different Ways to Measure Time.

　　C) Why We Measure Time the Way We do.

　　D) How the Calendar Came into being.

　　58. What does the example of Babylonia astronomers reveal?

　　A) It reveals Babylonians’wisdom that was absent elsewhere.

　　B) It reveals the origin of our time measurements.

　　C) It reveals the limits of some time measurements.

　　D) It reveals the stability of time measurements.

　　59. The author mentions all of the following ways to measure time EXCEPT .

　　A) sundial B) hourglass C) electric clock D) mechanical clock

　　60. According to the passage, Greenwich Mean Time .

　　A) provides a common time for all parts of the world

　　B) is calculated from the sun

　　C) is the 12th of the 24 time zones

　　D) was named after an international conference

　　61. With which of the following statements would the author be most likely to agree?

　　A) Time measurements have changed in response to need and technological development.

　　B) In ancient Babylonia, 12 was the basic division of time.

　　C) The first calendar was developed because the sages of tribes were intelligent.

　　D) Universal Time is so named because it is applicable throughout the universe.

　　Passage Two

　　Questions 62 to 66 are based on the following passage.

　　For many years, scientists couldn’t figure out how atoms and molecules on the Earth combined to make living things. Plants, fish, dinosaurs, and people are made of atoms and molecules, but they are put together in a more complicated way than the molecules in the primitive ocean. What’s more, living things have energy and can reproduce, while the chemicals on the Earth 4 billion years ago were lifeless.

　　After years of study, scientists figured out that living things, including human bodies, are basically made of amino acids and nucleotide bases. These are molecules with millions of hydrogen, carbon, nitrogen, and oxygen atoms. How could such complicated molecules have been formed in the primitive soup? Scientists were stumped.

　　Then, in 1953, two scientists named Harold Urey and Stanley L. Miller did a very simple experiment to find out what had happened on the Primitive Earth. They set up some tubes and bottles in a closed loop, and put in some of the same gases that were present in the atmosphere 4 billion years ago: water vapor, ammonia, carbon dioxide, methane, and hydrogen.

　　Then they shot an electric spark through the gases to simulate bolts of lightning on the ancient Earth, circulated the gases through some water, sent them back for more sparks, and so on. After seven days, the water that the gases had been bubbling through had turned brown. Some new chemicals were dissolved in it. When Miller and Urey analyzed the liquid, they found that it contained amino acids-the very kind of molecules found in all living things.

　　62. When did scientists come to realize how the atoms and molecules on the Earth combined to make living thing?

　　A) 4 billion years ago. B) In 1953.

　　答案及详解

　　Part ⅠWriting

　　On Chinese Workers’Paid Holidays

　　In 2007, the Chinese government released a draft that all employees of government organs, civil organizations, enterprises, and public-service institutions are entitled to take paid vacation after serving the same employer for one year. Some have sufficient faith that the paid holidays will improve the current tourism pattern. The new holiday scheme will give people more choices to make their holiday plans and thus it will greatly alleviate the pressure of transportation departments, security bodies, shopping malls,ect. during the current holiday boom.

　　Other people wonder if the new system will be available. It is likely to be a dream to have a paid holiday. Because the problem is that many people don’t dare to take long vacations. Competition is fierce. Nobody can afford a long holiday and leave the boss with an impression of not working as hard as others.

　　For me, I think it is necessary for, in future, the state to issue a regulation concerning Chinese workers-paid holidays. Stregthen the employers’ sense of the paid holidays. If they did so voluntarily, it will attract and retain employees. With these measures, it is expected that more employees in China are entitled to receive holiday pay for time off.

　　Part ⅡReading Comprehension (Skimming and Scanning)

　　1. Y 细节题根据信号词”BMI, 85%”寻读到第二段第一句。题干说超重的孩子是指那些在他们年龄和性别范畴内BMI超过重量群85％的孩子。题干与原文相符。

　　2. N 细节题根据信号词 “educational system”寻读到文章第三段，作者指出媒体或教育体系都没有采用强势的项目来鼓励健康的选择，包括锻炼和健康食物。题干说根据这篇文章，教育体系在促进锻炼和健康饮食上是积极的，故题干是错误的。

　　3. Y 细节题本题的信号词是 “watching television”。题干说据观察孩子每天看电视一小时或更少将更有可能远离肥胖。根据第四段最后一句：在一个研究中发现，每天看一个小时或更少电视的孩子肥胖率最低，但是每天看四个小时或更长时间电视的孩子肥胖率最高。故题干是正确的。

　　4. Y 细节题题干说糖的摄人是孩童期导致肥胖的重要原因。文中Lifestyle Factors下第二点中作者明确指出糖是导致孩子肥胖的重要原因。

　　5. Y 细节题本题的信号词是 “environmental, genetic factors”。题干说在多数情况下，肥胖孩子的父母也常常承受肥胖的痛苦，因为环境或基因的因素也是孩童时期肥胖的主要原因。依据Lifestyle Factors下第三点中讲到的父母肥胖对孩子的影响，可知题干与原文相符。

　　6. Y 细节题本题的信号词是 “Infants, birth weight”。题干说出生分量轻的婴儿当他们成长到孩童或青少年时期也许会面临肥胖的危险。依据文章第二节 (Causes and Risk Factors for Obesity in Children)里Factors Surrounding Birth下第一点：体重轻的婴儿长大以后可能会身体肥胖并患有糖尿病，可知题干与原文相符。

　　7. NG 综合判断题题干说随着年龄的增长，肥胖的孩子获得一个健康的重量会更难，因为存在生物学的惯性。在整篇文章中，作者没有提及这点。

　　8. cholesterol levels and high blood pressure 细节题本题的信号词是 “adolescents, unhealthy”。本题问肥胖的孩子和青少年身体更差，据报道，比如他们有哪些疾病。解题依据第二个小标题下第二句：Studies are reporting cholesterol levels and high blood pressure in obese children and adolescents。

　　9. by only 200 to 260 per day 细节题题干问减少多少卡路里能够阻止大部分超重儿童增重。解题依据第三个小标题下第一段第二句：一些证据建议每天减少200至260的卡路里可以阻止重量获取。

　　10. eating disorders 细节题作者在文章最后阐述了一些控制肥胖的技巧，其中第四项就是不要批评那些肥胖的孩子，这不但起不了帮助作用并且可能会增加儿童饮食紊乱的几率。由此得出答案：eating disorders

　　M: Do you think young people are given too much freedom nowadays, and that as a result they’ve lost respect for their parents and their elders generally?

　　W: I don’t thinks so. My parents never interfered with my plans too much. They advised me but never forced me to do anything I didn’t want to do. I was allowed to take up the career I wanted. I think I respect and love them more for this.

　　M: Are you quite independent of them now?

　　W: Yes. As soon as I left school and started my studies as a nurse I became independent financially. I have a government grant. It is enough for my daily life. But I still stay with them a lot, as you know.

　　M: You seem very close to your parents.

　　W: I am. Many young people today say they have nothing in common with their parents but I’m rather lucky because I get on very well with mine. What about you?

　　M: Well, we value family life very much in my country. I’m very fond of my family, but I don’t always get on very well with them. They try to control me too much.

　　W: But they allow you to come to study in England on your own.

　　M: Yes, but only after a lot of persuasion! Your parents treat you as an adult; my parents treat me as a child.

　　W: As I said, I’m lucky. Some English parents are like yours. They interfere too much and they just refuse to understand our generation.

　　Questions 19 to 22 are based on the conversation you have just heard.

　　19. According to the woman, why does she respect their parents?

　　20. What happened when the woman began to study nursing?

　　21. What attitude did the man’s parents have towards his study abroad?

　　22. Which of the following statements is true according to the conversation?

　　Conversation Two

　　W: You don’t look smart this morning. I can see you’re not happy.

　　M: I had never expected this would have happened to me. We had a power failure at home last night.

　　W: How come? Did anyone in the family do anything wrong?

　　M: You’ve guessed it. It was all my father’s fault.

　　W: What did he do?

　　M: I was just watching a wonderful football feature program on TV when the lights suddenly went out.

　　W: Why was that?

　　M: You see, we’d just had our dinner. My mother was washing my jeans in the washing machine. And the air-conditioners were on in both rooms. I was in my room watching TV.

　　W: What was your father doing then?

　　M: He wanted to warm his tea in the microwave oven. He plugged it in and the fuse broke.And everything stopped all of a sudden.

　　W: Your next-door neighbor is an electrician, isn’t he?

　　M: Yes. Luckily, he happened to be at home. He came and fixed it up. But it was half an hour later. I had already missed a lot.

　　W: It was an annoying experience for a sports fan like you. But don’t miss the basketball final this evening. Make sure there is no power failure tonight.

　　Questions 23 to 25 are based on the conversation you have just heard.

　　23.Why does the man look depressed this morning?

　　Passage One

　　We know little about how primitive people came to use the money,but we do know some of the articles which have been used as money. During the days of ancient Rome, salt was hard to obtain. Salt for the preparation of food was considered so precious that soldiers were paid with it. This salt money was known as salarium, and from it we get our word salary.

　　In some regions of Asia, tin was used for money; and the American Indian used a variety of shell beads which he called wampum. In some places special kinds of sea-shells, bird feathers, or nuts were used. Perhaps the most common money of all was an animal of some kind. In some places today, cows are still used as a kind of money. So you see, things highly valued by everybody may serve as money.

　　The Chinese were the first people to use coins as money. Today most coins are round; but the coins of ancient peoples were of many shapes. Some were round, some were square or rectangular, and others were even egg-shaped or had square holes in their centers.

　　Questions 26 to 28 are based on the passage you have just heard.

　　26.What did ancient Rome use as money?

　　27.Who first used coins as money?

　　28.What is the main idea of the passage?

　　Passage Two

　　I had just gone to bed after a very hard day when the phone rang. It was an eccentric farmer. I had never met him before although I had often heard people talk about him. He seemed quite hysterical and he had been talking for a minute or so before I understood anything. Even then all I could make out was that someone called Milly had had a very bad accident. I hadn’t the slightest idea who she was but I obviously had to go.

　　It had been snowing heavily that day and I didn’t know the way. I had been driving for at least an hour when I finally found his place. He was standing there, waiting for me. It seemed Milly had already died.”She meant more to me than anyone…even my own wife!” he said. I could see that he had been crying. I assumed a terrible tragedy had taken place with the overtones of a possible scandal. I must admit I was even more shocked when he told me he had put her in the barn.”I wouldn’t leave her out in the cold!”he said.

　　Milly had clearly been a secret sweetheart of his. I was about to tell him he could not expect me to cover anything up when he opened the barn door and pointed his torch at a motionless shaps on the straw.”She was such a good cow! I wouldn’t let anyone but a doctor touch her!”he said, and burst into tears again.

　　Questions 29 to 31 are based on the passage you have just heard.

　　29. Why did the speaker say that she obviously had to go?

　　30. What was the weather like that day?

　　31. Who did the speaker think Milly was when she saw the farmer?

　　Passage Three

　　What does the word “library”mean to you?Do you think a library is a large, silent room containing hundreds of books? It may surprise you to learn that there are other kinds of libraries. Most libraries do lend books, but some also lend art, music, and even toys!

　　In some libraries, you can borrow an excellent reproduction of a famous painting for your home for several weeks. Then, you can return it and bring another one home.

　　This is also true for records. You may choose your favorite record and take it home. There you may listen to it as often as you like. Later you may return it and try something else.

　　Toy-lending is a new idea in libraries. In a toy library children’s toys and games are classified by age groups just as books usually are. Children may play with anything in the library, and instead of demanding silence, toy libraries encourage children to make noise! Toy libraries not only provide toys and games for children, but also give them a place to come and meet and play with other children.

　　Questions 32 to 35 are based on the passage you have just heard.

　　32. What are some of the things that you can borrow from an art library?

　　33. What is toy-lending?

　　34. In what kind of library can children make as much noise as they want?

　　35. Apart from toys and games, what else do toy libraries provide for children?

　　Section C

　　The automobile has many advantages. Above all, it (36) offers people freedom to go where they want when they want to. To most people, cars are also personal (37) fantasy machines that serve as (38) symbols of power, success, speed, excitement, and (39) adventure. In (40) addition, much of the world’s economy is built on producing vehicles and supplying roads, services, and repairs of vehicles. Half of the world’s paychecks are (41) auto-related.

　　In spite of their advantages, motor vehicles have many harmful effects on human lives and on air, water, land and wildlife resources. Though we (42) tend to deny it, (43) riding in cars is one of the most dangerous things we do in our daily lives.

　　Every year, (44) cars and trucks worldwide kill an average of 250,000 people, and they injure or permanently disable ten million more. (45) Half of the world’s people will be involved in an auto accident at sometime in their lives.

　　Motor vehicles are the largest sources of air pollution, producing a haze of smog over the world’s cities. (46)In some countries, they produce at least 50% of the countries-air pollution.

　　Part ⅣReading Comprehension (Reading in Depth)

　　Section A

　　47. L 该空内容要求与后面的man-made对应，并且二者由both…and连接。

　　48. G 根据语法结构要求，该空要求填入一个副词，根据上下文意思应该选择once。

　　49. I 该空应填入动词，根据上下文应选择fed，意思为”供养了（一个从事经商的民族）”。

　　50. O 根据上下文应该选择”trees”。There were trees in plenty.(那儿生长着大量的树木。)

　　51. H 根据上下文，应该填入surrounded。

　　52. A “send moisture into the air”意思是”将水分送往空中”。

　　53. F “…the roots trap minerals”意思是”树根可以留住矿物质”。

　　54. J exploit在此意思为”开发”。

　　55. B 选择cycle构成water cycle(水的循环)。

　　56. D the rhythm of life意思为”生活的节奏”。

　　Section B

　　Passage One

　　57. C 主旨题本文共三段。第一段讲日历起源之因；第二段讲作为现代时间概念的基础，古巴比伦如何划分年月日时分秒；第三段提及先后出现的测量时间的各种工具，并讲述”世界时”如何顺应时代发展而产生。A），B）和D）项都只概括了本文的部分内容，只有C）项是对全文的总结。

　　58. B 综合判断题C）项在文章中没有提及,D)项不正确。本文的主题是计时方式的发展，并未强调某个民族智慧过人，A）项也不正确。

　　59. C 细节题根据题干可定位于第三段前半部分，答案是C。

　　60. B 细节题解题依据是”The time at Greenwich measured by the sun is…”。不过考生不一定留意了这个后置定语。相反，受”Twelve zones are west of Greenwich. Twelve are east.”的影响，可能会误选C）项。其实，这里是24个时区的”the starting point”,也就是第一个时区。

　　61. A 综合判断题C）项提到的日历出现就是其中一个例证，第三段还提到sundial, hourglass, mechanical clocks and watches和Greenwich Mean Time的出现，这都是随着人类社会发展的需要出现的。C）项错在将日历出现归因于一小部分人的高智商，真正的原因其实是”When people started farming…”。此外，Universal Time并非全宇宙通用，它只适用于全球24个时区，故D）项也不正确。

　　Passage Two

　　62. B 细节题从文中第三段可知：”Then, in 1953, two scientists…did a very simple experiment to find out what had happened on the Primitive Earth.”这说明从1953年起，人类才开始弄明白地球上的生物是怎样由原子和分子结合而产生的。因此B）是正确选项。

　　63. A 细节题答案从第二段开头可直接找到：”…， scientists figured out that living things, including human bodies, are basically made of amino acids and nucleotide bases.”

　　64. A 细节题答案第三段中直接给出：”…， Harold. Urey and Stanley L. Miller did a very simple experiment to find out what had happened on the Primitive Earth.” 紧接着作者又指出是在”…4 billion years ago…”。

　　65. D 语义辨析题见原文最后一句话：”When Miller and Urey analyzed the liquid, they found that it contained…”。”当米勒和尤里对液体进行分析时，他们发现它包含有……”。很明显it指的就是从句里的liquid。

　　66. C 综合判断题文中第一段第二句话暗示了该题答案：”Plants, fish, dinosaurs, and people are made of atoms and molecules…”。

　　Part ⅤCloze

　　67. B 此处需要填一个谓语，从下一句可以看出，本句应该是过去时态，所以B）项正确。

　　68. C 此处需填一个表示过去的副词，C）ago指从现在算起若干时间以前，和动词一般过去时一同使用。符合原文表达要求，为正确答案。

　　69. A 耳聋和年老有因果关系。B）because后只能跟从句，做原因状语，不符合原文结构要求。because of后则跟名词或名词性短语，符合结构要求。C）at和D)in均不能和old age连用。

　　70. A 此处需填一个词引导后面的从句，表示突然出现的情况，四个选项中只有when可以，故选[A]。

　　71. D A）fell “落下，降落”，指物体从上到下的垂直运动，用于此处，搭配不当。blew “（风）吹、刮”，用于此处，也属搭配不当。C）formed “形成”，指事物经历一个发展过程之后，最终形成，这与原文所表达的意义不相符。故此，approached更合适，所以D）项为正确答案。

　　72. C 在树下躲雨，故用”under a tree”。

　　73. B C）fallen “摔倒”，A）thrown “扔”，强调动作施者所做的”扔”的动作。D）beaten “打，敲”，强调”打”的具体动作，一般用于具体意义。B）knocked “敲、击、打”，既可用于具体的，又可用于抽象的”打击，击倒”，用于此处，符合原文表达需要，故B）项为正确答案。

　　74. B A)just “刚好”，表达过于精确，不符合上下文。C）for后跟一段时间，表达动作的持续过程，如果用于此处，则later不能有，因此也不能用。D）within “在……内”，表达过于精确。B）some “大约”，同about。符合原文表达，因此B）项为正确答案。

　　75. D 主句的伴随状语，表示一种伴随的动作或状态，一般用分词或分词短语。A）to lie是动词不定式，不能做伴随状语。C）lay是动词lie的一般过去式，不能做伴随状语。B）having lain是现在分词的完成体，不能做伴随状语。D）lying是动词lie的现在分词形式，符合原文要求。故D)项为正确答案。

　　76. A 此处应为两个并列分句描述两个动作。因此B）when，D）while被排除。两个动作之间并无转折关系，所以C）but也被排除。A）and为正确答案。

　　77. C 由于他以前双目失明，而现在突见光明，所以此处应填一个转折连词。A）Thus “这样”；B）Therefore “因此”；D）Above all “首先”。均不是转折连词。C）But “但是，然而”，转折连词，为正确答案。

　　78. A D）out of “在……外部”。钟表不可能挂在屋子外，故首先排除。C）into “到……里”，着重表示动作的方向，用于此处不恰当。B）through “穿过”，着重指物体从某一空间中间穿过。A）across “在对面”。符合原文表达要求，为正确答案。

　　79. B C）Whenever “无论何时”，用于此处，与原表达意义不符。A）While,B)When,D)As都有”当……的时候”的意思。as着重表示从句动作与主句动作同时发生，持续时间不长。据此分析，as用于此处不当。when可以表示主句动作发生在从句之后，符合原文表达需要。因此B）项为正确答案。

　　80. D 联系上文，此处应为”恢复，再得到”。A）gained “得到”；B）gotten “获得”。C）reminded “使回忆起……，提醒……”。D）regained “重新得到”，符合句意，为正确答案。

　　81. C A）at “在（某一时间、地点）”；B）in “在（地点、时间）里面”；D）on “在……上面，在（某一天）”，均无此意。C）from “从……（中得到，获益）”。符合句意。

　　82. B 这里指的是解释原因，因此只有B）reason “原因”符合句意。A）result “结果”；C）consequence “后果”；D）content “内容”。均无此意。

　　Unemployment ‘Blessings’

　　Community Involvement

　　For Lisa Perez, the wakeup call was burned pork chops. An executive who previously hadn’t been particularly interested in home and health had become obsessed with homemaking during a stint of unemployment.

　　Ms. Perez, 35, resolved to become an active volunteer for the duration of her search. She gave her time to a health-care concern, a housing program and a political campaign.

　　The work bolstered her self-confidence. “Volunteering takes the focus off of you. One thing you have that’s still valuable is your time. And, of course, you learn that there are thousands of people with a life that’s much worse than yours,” she says.

　　Volunteer assignments are also great ways to meet powerful and well-connected people. Over a six-month period, her volunteering evolved into working as a paid consultant and then as a full-time employee, a job she still holds today. In all, she was unemployed for eight months.

　　Continuing Education

　　Even as the economy improves, a jobless executive may face up to a year or more of unemployment. This is a lot of time, especially for hard-charging high-performers who are not used to having any free time.

　　When laid off from the position of executive in a steel company near Cleveland, Mr. Bellavance, single and virtually debt free, shifted his finances into survival mode. He cashed out his pension, sold his house, unloaded things he didn’t need at garage sales, and rented an apartment with a roommate. Then, he says, “I signed up for every benefit I could find.”

　　But he wasn’t just waiting out the year. He spent the rest of his search updating his skills, including becoming certified in new database, project-management software and other related areas.

　　”People should not feel guilty about accepting government aid,” he says, “I saw this in a lot of people. They felt they were some kind of loser for taking benefits. My advice is: Get all you can. You’ve been paying for these programs in your entire career, and you may as well start to benefit from them.”

　　Family Matters

　　In addition to pursuing training or volunteering, some displaced careerists use their time off work to attend to family matters. Many executives rediscover their children or find time to help their parents.

　　Stanford Rappaport held three jobs in San Francisco, including high-tech and teaching positions. When he was laid off from the high-tech job last year, he knew it might be a long slog before he could get another post like it in the Bay Area.

　　Mr. Rappaport’s remaining job, a part-time faculty position with City College of San Francisco, didn’t pay enough to support him. After a couple of months of searching with no results, he decided to escape the Northern California jobs meltdown. “My plan,” he says, “was to get out of an expensive living situation, and either seek work in another section of the U.S. or overseas, for those two years.” Mr. Rappaport, who speaks five languages, had worked overseas before.

　　Before he found an assignment, his Arkansas-based mother was diagnosed with a serious chronic illness, and he was called into duty as a son. Mr. Rappaport was able to help his mother get her affairs in order not to interrupt his search by using a San Francisco mail drop and cell phone. “I continued to look for work in California while I was in Fayetteville, Ark., helping my mother through this crisis.”

　　Mr. Rappaport’s stay in Arkansas lasted six months. “It’s amazing that at this stage I had the opportunity to spend a significant amount of time with my mother and improve her life and get a lot of things done for her. Most people never have that opportunity. I’m very thankful that I had the chance. It was absolutely worth it,” he says.

　　One of the unexpected benefits was the huge boost in confidence he gained from his role as caregiver. He’d been feeling depressed and defeated when he left California, but after returning, he felt renewed. He landed a job with a former employer after returning to San Francisco and remains a part-time faculty member.

　　Discovery and Exploration

　　Instead of spending time off lamenting your unemployed status, ask yourself: “Is there something I’ve always wanted to do but haven’t because of the demands of my job?”

　　Michael Ross, 42, a former IT administrator in El Cerrito, Calif., recently spent his 10 months of unemployment playing guitar and exploring his lifelong interest in scriptwriting and the movie business. “After 18 years at my former employer and how hard I had worked, I knew I had to recover, to get restored,” he says, “I looked at this as an opportunity, rather than a penalty. This was very much about clearing space for me.”

　　At the executive level, even a very efficient and successful job search may be quite lengthy. It makes sense to spend that time in an enriching and productive manner. These job seekers pursued service, continuing education and shoring up family bonds. How you’ll look back on a period of unemployment depends on what you do with it.

　　1. This passage mainly tells that being unemployed is actually lucky.

　　2. Lisa Perez found a new interest in homemaking during the period of unemployment.

　　3. Lisa Perez was always idle during the period of her unemployment.

　　3. Being a volunteer is helpful because volunteer assignments can provide you with chances to meet powerful and well-connected people.

　　4. After she got a new job, Lisa Perez regretted that she had done volunteering work.

　　5. Unemployment means a lot of time, especially for those hard-charging executives who are not used to having any free time.

　　6. Mr. Bellavance spent the rest of his search updating his skills such as computing.

　　7. When unemployed, in addition to pursuing training or volunteering, some careerists take the opportunity to be in charge of all the domestic affairs.

　　8. After staying with his sick mother as caregiver in Arkansas for six months, Mr. Rappaport unexpectedly gained

　　Section B

　　Directions: There are 2 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 Answer Sheet 2 with a single line through the centre.

　　Passage One

　　Questions 57 to 61 are based on the following passage.

　　It is 4 o’clock in the early morning.Everything but the computing room on the campus of the university appears as quiet and misty as the mysterious hell. In the computing room, 30 students crumpled with blurred eyes, sit still at their desk, thumping the dirty and worn keys. Staring at the colorful screen, they tap continuously for hours. For the other parts in the world, it might be in the midst of the night, nevertheless here time represents nothing. It is an utterly enclosed field. These young computer “hackers” are tracing a sort of stimulus; a drive so exciting and absorbing it downplays nearly anything else in their lives and founds as the focus their being. They are compelled computer programmers. Some of these students have been glued to the console for no less than twenty hours even with no break for meals or rest. Some have been sleeping on sofas and lounge chairs in the computing room, trying to struggle for a few moments’rest but hate to get too far away from their addicted machines.

　　It is no necessary for most of these students to be at the computing room in the middle of the night. What they are working belong to no assignments. They remain there because they desire to be-they can not resist the attraction of the computers.

　　Furthermore they are in groups instead of alone. There are hackers at computing rooms all over the country. In the unimaginable way, they focus on nothing but computer. They escape from schooling and live beyond friendship; they might have difficulty being employed, choosing to travel from one computing room to another. They may even abandon personal health.

　　”There is one hacker in my memory. We actually had to lift him away from his chair to feed him and arrange him to rest and sleep. We truly worried about his health,” says a computing science professor at California University.

　　Professors of computer science are nowadays shedding more light on this hacker phenomenon and are on the watch for latent hackers and more and more severe computer addictives. They are sober that hackers are not simply resulted from the close relationship with a machine. It is the result of social relationship with the attractive thinking machines, which are becoming nearly universal.

　　57. We can learn from the passage that those at the computing room in the middle of the night are 　　.

　　A) students working on a program

　　B) students using computers to amuse themselves

　　C) hard-working computer science majors

　　D) students deeply fascinated by the computer

　　58. Which of the following is NOT true of those young computer “hackers”?

　　A) Most of them are top students majoring in computer programming.

　　B) For them, computer programming is the sole purpose for their life.

　　C) They can stay with the computer at the centre for nearly two days on end.

　　D) Their “love” for the computer is so deep that they want to be near their machines even when they sleep.

　　59. It can be reasonably inferred from the passage that 　　.

　　A) the”hacker”phenomenon exists only at university computing rooms

　　B) university computing rooms are open to almost everyone

　　C) university computing rooms are expecting outstanding programmers out of the”hackers”

　　D) the”hacker”phenomenon is partly attributable to the deficiency of the computing rooms

　　60.The author’s attitude towards the “hacker” phenomenon can be described as 　　.

　　A) affirmative　　B) contemptuous C) anxious 　　D) disgusted

　　61. Which of the following may be the most appropriate title for the passage?

　　A) The Charm of Computer Science

　　B) A New Type of Electronic Toys

　　C) Compulsive Computer Programmers

　　D) Computer Addicts

　　Passage Two

　　Questions 62 to 66 are based on the following passage.

　　Very few commenters have a better point of that forbidding exchanging media called E-mail than John Moon, the CEO of E-mail management company Talk Labs. Moon examines a network that deals with 5.0 million letters everyday. The servers run and fixed by Talk Labs manage mail delivery and routing for many companies, including Security Company of England and Malshef Business.

　　As a matter of fact, all of Talk Labs’customers are madeup of companies whose daily E-mail outflow and inflow have substantially increased with the expansion of the Web. “E-mail usage has significantly risen recently,” he says. Indeed, Talk Labs estimates that it has risen from 20 a day each employee as lately as three years ago to 30 or 40 at present.

　　The implications for Corporate America are equally huge. As E-mail researcher and consultant Jack Blour believes, companies can be in the expectation of the volume of E-mail rising through their servers to grow 70% to 90% in 2002. And as individual messages soar it is most likely that they contain memory-companies could finally pay 100% to 150% more simply this year on systems in the store and management of those messages. That’s the reason why tech consultancy Tadigul Group predicts demand for software manageing E-mail, such as Microsoft Outlook and Lotus Notes, to grow from $2.6 billion in sales today to $4.4 billion by 2005.

　　Controlling pure junk will cost too much money. About 20% of the E-mail Talk Labs manages is uninvited, according to Moon-who further states that about 1.25% of all the E-mail his company cancels includes useless files.

　　It is estimated that handling spam（垃圾邮件） costs $8.6 billion throughout the world, according to a 2001 Japanese study. And some companies has been worried that the jam of pornographic spam may urge employees to sue on grounds of disturbance due to brought discomfort.

　　62.The first sentence of this passage “Very few commenters have a better point of that forbidding exchanging media called E-mail than John Moon…”most probably means 　　.

　　A) John Moon clearly know the E-mail is wasting resources

　　B) no one knows the fact that E-mail is gossip exchanging way but John Moon

　　C) John Moon does not know anything about the E-mail

　　D) the John Moon always concentrated on the ocean of the junk E-mail

　　63. Which of the following is NOT true about Talk Labs?

　　A) It is an E-mail management company.

　　B) All of Talk Labs’customers are corporations.

　　C) John Moon is the chief technology officer of Talk Labs.

　　D) The company puts the great emphasis on dealing with the junk E-mail.

　　64. The word “that” in the last sentence of the third paragraph most possibly means 　　.

　　A) it is expected that Microsoft Outlook and Lotus Notes grow from $2.6 billion in sales today to $4.4 billion by 2005

　　B) the junk E-mail has been overloaded in the Internet

　　C) the increase of individual messages needs more staff

　　D) the company has paid 100% to 150% for individual message storage

　　65.The following statements about the E-mail have been mentioned EXCEPT 　　.

　　A) Moon examines a network that processes 5.0 million letters each day

　　B) according to Jack Blour, companies can expect the volume of E-mail passing through their servers to grow not more than 50% in 2002

　　C) too much money has been spent in controlling the junk E-mail

　　D) some employees might take legal action in accordance with annoyance arising from exposure to some unpleasant resources.

　　66. What is the best title for the passage?

　　A) The E-mail Monster

　　B) Talk Labs Business Introduction

　　C) To Avoid E-mail Surge

　　D) E-mail Destroys Everything

　　How to Get Prepared for a Job

　　As a result of the population booming in the past, the competition in job markets is getting much fiercer. As college students who are to graduate in the future, we must prepare ourselves when still on campus in order to gain an upper hand.

　　There are several things we college students can do to sharpen our competitive edge. First, start preparing early. We all know that it is the early bird that catches the worm. It is too late to consider our future career upon graduation. Why not plan beforehand? Second, we should attach greater importance to our personalities such as honesty, cooperation and perseverance. They are more important than appearance in landing a job although it is advantageous to have a neat look. Third, we should make a close self-examination so as to know what our weaknesses and strengths are so that we can do something about them to improve ourselves. Lastly, we can take some preliminary training for the job we’d like to have. For example, if an English major wants to work as a certificated public accountant, he’d better acquaint himself with some financial knowledge while on campus.

　　In a word, opportunity will only favor those with a ready mind. Just figure out what we’d like to do in the future and act accordingly.

　　Part II Reading Comprehension (Skimming and Scanning)

　　本文从失业这个话题入手，分析了失业的利弊。并通过列举一些失业者的经历，论证失业并非就是完全令人沮丧的灾难。

　　1. N 大意题。文章述及数人失业后给各自生活带来了令人意想不到的好处，并未表明失业即福的观点。

　　2. Y 先找到Lisa Perez这个名字。Community Involvement标题下第一段 “…become obsessed with homemaking…” 即证明了该命题表述正确。

　　3. Y Community Involvement标题下的第四段提到 “…to meet powerful and wellconnected people.” 所以该陈述是正确的。

　　4. N Community Involvement标题下的第三段，Perez 说”Volunteering takes the focus off of you. One thing you have that’s still valuable is your time. And, of course, you learn that there are thousands of people with a life that’s much worse than yours,” 可见Perez并没有后悔做义务工作。

　　5. Y 标题Continuing Education下的第一段第二句话”This is a lot of time, especially for hard-charging high-performers who are not used to having any free time.”表明了该陈述正确。

　　6. NG 先从文章中找到 Bellavance 这个名字，然后细读会发现文章并没有明确提及他提高自己的计算技能。

　　7. N 根据domestic affairs可基本确定此题信息出自标题Family matters中的内容，在第一段找到对应句”In addition to pursuing training or volunteering, some displaced careerists use their time off work to attend to family matters.”，由此可以断定他们只是更多地参与到家庭事务中，绝非全权掌管家事，所以陈述不对。

　　8. a huge boost/increase in confidence 陈述中的人名就是关键信息词，内容属于标题Family matters中的事例，在最后一段第一句话提到”One of the unexpected benefits was the huge boost in confidence he gained from his role as caregiver.”，所以Mr. Rappaport意外的收获就是信心大增。

　　9. scriptwriting and the movie business 同样根据人名锁定陈述对应的句子在标题Discovery and Exploration的第二段”Michael Ross…recently spent his 10 months of unemployment playing guitar and exploring his lifelong interest in scriptwriting and the movie business.”，直接填空即可。

　　10. shoring up family bonds 本题为全文”unemployment ‘blessings’”的总结，自然应该在文章最后一段寻找相关内容，对应的句子是”These job seekers pursued service, continuing education and shoring up family bonds”，同样可以直接填空

　　15. W: This is Mrs. Jones. My heater is not getting any power and the temperature is going to get down below freezing. Could you come over and fix it?

　　M: This is our busiest time of the year, but I will speak to one of our men about getting over there sometime today.

　　Q: Who has Mrs. Jones called to come over?

　　16. M: Did you hear Eva’s presentation in the meeting last night?

　　W: How she could be so calm in front of such a large audience is really beyond me.

　　Q: What does the woman imply?

　　17. M: You know I’m not too sure if the new salary will be high enough or if even the new position is really what I want. Besides, I like the work that I’m doing now.

　　W: It sounds as though you’ve already made up your mind about what you are going to do.

　　Q: What is the man thinking about?

　　18. W: I’m getting absolutely nowhere with these physics problems.

　　M: How about my going through them with you?

　　Q: What does the man mean?Now you’ll hear two long conversations.

　　Conversation One

　　M: Excuse me, I understand that this office helps students with housing. Is that right?

　　W: Are you a student in the intensive English program? May I see your ID card? Um, yes, we can certainly help you. Where are you staying now?

　　M: I just arrived yesterday. I’m staying at the hotel across the street.

　　W: Okay, please complete this form. Will you be living alone or do you have a family with you? Or, would you be interested in sharing housing?

　　M: Yes, I have a wife and child. They aren’t here yet, but they’ll be coming as soon as I am settled in. My daughter is 4.

　　W: We have two choices available. This two-bedroom is two blocks from campus, but it doesn’t have central heat and air. There is a slot in the wall for a unit air conditioner if you want one. It’s $ 500 a month. Then, for $ 650 a month, there is this one. It’s in a modern apartment complex, about 10 minutes from the university by bicycle, but it’s closer to shopping, a movie theater, and other things. And the complex has a swimming pool and laundromat(自助洗衣店).

　　M: Could I see them both? I’m not sure which I would want at the moment. Sure I’d love to be closer to school, but my wife and daughter would probably like the benefits of the other one.

　　W: Sure. We can go right now if you would like.

　　Questions 19 to 22 are based on the conversation you have just heard.

　　19. Where is the man living currently?

　　20. What size apartment does the man need?

　　21. What does the man think is the most important difference between the two apartments the woman discusses?

　　22. What is the biggest drawback of the less expensive apartment according to the woman?

　　Conversation Two

　　M: Excuse me. My watch stopped running and I’m not sure what’s wrong with it.

　　W: Well, let me look at it.

　　M: OK. It’s a new watch. I’ve only had it for about a year.

　　W: Hmm. It seems that it just needs a new battery. They only last about a year, you know.

　　M: Oh, that’s a relief. I was hoping it wasn’t broken or something. In fact, last week I got some water on it and I was afraid that the water might have ruined it. How much is a new battery?

　　W: It’s six ninety-nine plus tax.

　　M: Oh dear, that seems like a lot. I thought my friend said she paid about three ninety-nine for a battery.

　　W: Well, she may have. But we’re a watch repair shop and we install your battery and then guarantee it for a year. If you have the watch cleaned here we guarantee it for an additional three months.

　　M: Well, I guess you get what you pay for. I’ll get my battery here. How long will it take to put it in?

　　W: Usually I can do it right away, but right now I’m way behind in my repair of a large shipment of watches. They all need to be fixed by this afternoon. Can you leave your watch here until about 5 P.M.?

　　M: Oh dear. I’m afraid I can’t. I need to get back and I have to work this evening. So I couldn’t pick it up by five. And I have to have it by tomorrow.

　　W: Well, then maybe I can just squeeze it in now. It’ll only take a few minutes. Can you wait?

　　M: OK. I’d really appreciate that. Sure, I’ll wait.

　　W: OK. Just sit down over there. I’ll have it fixed in a few minutes.

　　Questions 23 to 25 are based on the conversation you have just heard.

　　23. What is the problem with the man’s watch?

　　24. How much did the man’s friend pay for a battery?

　　25. What is special about the shop’s service?

　　Section B

　　26. C 27. C 28. C 29. D 30. C 31. D 32. B 33. B 34. C 35. B

　　Passage One

　　A tiny village somewhere in Britain was badly affected by a cat. The cat was stuck in the middle of the road due to being over frightened by the speeding vehicles. A passionate truck driver stopped his truck beside the street in order to help the frightened cat. However, something out of imagination happened. His truck slipped down the road since it was not firmly locked. It crashed into four parked cars, crashed through a bush, ran alongside a river and damaged several blocks of houses. The cat bit the driver on the hand while he was carrying it, which resulted in an injury.

　　Here is another story about cats. A family cat rescued a nine-month old child by informing the parents who were then cooking in the house. The cat cried out loudly when it saw the baby struggling in the river beside the house. The parents said the cat would receive a good reward of a beautiful coat for its extraordinary deed.

　　Questions 26 to 29 are based on the passage you have just heard.

　　26. What happened to the cat that affected a village?

　　27. Who was hurt in the first story?

　　28. Where did the second story about cats occur?

　　29. What would the parents give to cat as a reward in the second story?

　　Passage Two

　　The professors of California University agreed in a seminar that, “automobiles have posed a great danger to human health”. “Automobiles not only pollute the air and lead to traffic jams, but more importantly, they also make it unnecessary for people to walk, which resulted in an increasing rate of heart diseases,”said Dr. W.H. Peterson, professor of medical science. CNN reported that Dr. W.H. Peterson’s sharp criticism caused a hot debate on the campus of California University. “The debate opened a starting of human retrospection over their industrialized results. Humans had to consider the problem caused by themselves,” Dr. Peterson said. “Humans restricted their concern to only the natural disasters and environmental strategies before.”

　　Questions 30 to 32 are based on the passage you have just heard.

　　30. What is the theme of this passage?

　　31. What is the reason for the increase of heart diseases?

　　32. What do people then have to handle?

　　Passage Three

　　If you are like most people, then it is more likely that you are smarter in spring than in any other season.

　　Mr. Wilson, a famous scientist, discussed the influence of different climates on the human mind based on research drawn from many kinds of people. Eventually, he concluded that temperature and climate have significant effects on thinking. He decided that warm weather hinders people’s creative thinking, while cold weather facilitates. It does not mean that in summer people think less, however it does mean that people tend to be least creative in summer compared with other seasons. Spring seems to contribute most to people’s thinking. Fall follows, then winter. So it seems reasonable to get a lot of rest in summer.

　　Questions 33 to 35 are based on the passage you have just heard.

　　33. What is the main idea of the passage?

　　34. In which temperature do people have the best thinking?

　　35. Which statement is true of the heard passage?

　　Section C

　　Americans learn sports as part of their education. They learn two or more ball (36)games, such as football or basketball. At high school, they choose groups of boys or girls to make (37) teams. They choose those who are best at that sport. These teams (38) compete against teams from other schools. In many schools, students learn wrestling, running, tennis, golf and swimming. They have teams for some of these sports, too.

　　The games between schools are often very (39) exciting. Other students, the ones not on the team, love to watch them. They let everyone know this by shouting and (40) cheering, when their team plays well.

　　There is a special (41) club, of girls and boys, mostly girls, who jump up and down and shout for their football team. They call themselves (42) cheerleaders, because they lead everyone in shouts and cheers. They wear clothes of a (43) special color-the color of their school’s team. The football players wear that color, too. Each school has a team color and a team name. Cheerleaders call out the team name in their cheers. (44) They practice for many hours to learn the special jumping and cheering moves.Cheerleading is almost a sport itself. Every classroom has an American flag in it. (45)From elementary to high school, students start each day by standing up and showing respect to the flag.They put their hands over their hearts and say “the Pledge of Allegiance”. (46) This is a promise to the country, which was written by people who came to the US over 200 years ago.By standing and showing respect to the flag ,people think about the United States and its freedoms.

　　Part IVReading Comprehension (Reading in Depth)

　　Section A

　　47. E 此处应填入E项，be voluntary to 为固定搭配,意为”自愿地做某事”，符合题意。

　　48. H 此处应填入一个名词，而desire通常和介词for搭配，此处句子的意思为”控制我们对能源无止境的欲望以停止对环境的破坏”。

　　49. A 此处应填入一个形容词，根据上下文意思应选A项，意即:全球气候变暖似乎离我们太遥远,以至于我们无需为此担心。

　　50. B 此处应填入一个名词，根据上下文意思与computer搭配的名词为B项。

　　51. F 根据上下文意思，本段均说明全球变暖这一环境变化，所以此处应表达气候变化之意，F为正确选项。

　　52. L 该题较为简单，表示”全球的气温比上个世纪上升了1华氏”，应能迅速找出正确答案。

　　53. I 全球变暖的结果令人担心，常识告诉我们其后果之一就是冰川融化，所以ice 与melt 搭配并符合句意，I为正确选项。

　　54. K 与上题一样，此处也是全球变暖的后果之一（海岸受到侵蚀），此处应填入一个现在分词，因此应选K。

　　55. N 该题较为简单，应填入一个复数名词，所以填入changes项。

　　56. D 选D项，the whole world为固定搭配，选项J是个干扰项，表示”地球正在消亡”，但是文章没有提到，而且有点言过其实了。

　　Section B

　　Passage One

　　57. D 细节理解题 文章的第二段提到”What they are working belong to no assignments. They remain there because they desire to be-they can not resist the attraction of the computers.”表明这些学生是由于无法抗拒电脑的诱惑而非做作业才彻夜呆在电脑前的。可见是沉迷于电脑的学生。所以选D。

　　58. A 细节理解题根据第一题的信息，这些学生不是主修电脑编程的最好的学生,而仅仅是沉迷于电脑的”黑客”。而其余的选项在文章中均有体现。故答案为A。

　　59. B 推断题第三段提到”they might have difficulty being employed, choosing to travel from one computing room to another.”既然这些学生可以自由选择一个又一个的电脑房，那就可以推断出大学的电脑房是对所有人开放的。

　　60. C 推断题第一段的最后两句话、第三段的最后一句话以及最后一段第一句话”Professors of computer science are nowadays shedding more light on this hacker phenomenon and are on the watch for latent hackers and more and more severe computer addictives.”都表明了作者的焦急态度。

　　61. D 主题推断题文章一开始就提到了沉迷于电脑的学生，然后又举了一个电脑”黑客”"废寝忘食”的例子。最后大学教授分析了”黑客”现象的发生原因。可见最适当的标题应该是D。

　　Passage Two

　　62. A 句意理解题文章第一句的意思是”没有人比John Moon更懂得E-mail废话成堆的特点。”所以选A项（John Moon清楚地知道E-mail是在浪费资源）。

　　63. D 细节理解题 第四段第二句表示”Talk Labs公司管理的邮件中有20％是不速之客……（About 20% of the Email Talk Labs manages is uninvited …）”由此可见，公司的工作重点并不是处理垃圾邮件。此外，其他三项均可在第一段和第二段中找到对应点，所以选D。

　　64. D 推断题代词that的指代对象应该从前一句中寻找。前一句指出”……为了存储和管理上述信息，这些公司仅今年一年就可能要在系统建设上增加100%到150%的费用。（…companies could finally pay 100% to 150% more simply this year on systems in the store and management of those messages.）”选项D（公司投入100%-150%的费用在个人信息储存上）与此内容相符，所以选D。

　　65. B 细节理解题根据第三段第二句，选项B中的not more than 50%表示低于50%，而文中提到电子邮件增加70%到90%。所以选B。

　　66. A 主题推断题文章在第一句中就说”…that forbidding exchanging media called Email…”，说明了作者对E-mail的态度是否定的，后面又分析E-mail的其他缺点，如浪费资源和不安全等。所以，选项A中的Monster（妖怪）比较形象地表达了作者的看法。

　　Part V Cloze

　　67. C 本句的意思是：”成功或失败在很大程度上取决于你是否能扬长避短。”improvement改进；victory胜利；achievement成果，成就。这三个词都不合题意，只有C）failure”失败”最合适。

　　68. A to a great extent是固定短语，意思是”很大程度上”，符合题意。类似的说法还有：to a large extent,to some extent, to an extent。the, some, certain都不能与great extent搭配。

　　69. B on与前面的rely构成本句谓语。rely on为固定搭配，意思是”依赖于，取决于”。

　　70. B 本句为倒装句，表示强调，正常语序为：The attitude is the most significance. 考察of与名词连用，表示具有某种性质、状态，作表语。这里意思是”非常重要”。

　　71. A 根据句子结构判断a person后应当是定语从句，表示”开始工作的那个人”。

　　72. C 本句的意思是”如果一个刚刚开始工作的人就深信自己不会喜欢或肯定不适应这项工作，那么他就暴露了只会阻碍他成功的缺点。”or后面省略了主语he，与sure构成分句的主谓，表示某人肯定某事。其它三个选项的意思是ensure”保证”；certain”肯定的(只能用于it作主语的句子里)”；surely”确实地”。

　　73. D 固定搭配be firm in one’s mind,意思是”坚信”。其它选项都不符合题意和搭配习惯。

　　74. C capable of doing sth.是固定搭配，意为”能够干什么”。

　　75. D attempt用做名词，后接介词at，意为”试图，努力”；如果后面接介词on，则表示攻击的意思。其他两项都不能与attempt搭配。

　　77. D 本句主语是A book-keeper or a carpenter。根据主谓一致原则，其谓语应当用单数is，而不是复数are。

　　78. D on与前面的draw搭配，表示”利用”。做不定式help的补语。其它选项不能与draw搭配。

　　79. B 本句的意思是”克服缺点”，应选weakness(缺点，弱点)。其他三项意思是idea”观点”；strength”优点”；advantage”优势”。

　　80. B 固定短语take stock of，意为”对……估价，对……作出判断”。

　　81. A 本句的意思是：”随着更深入地阅读……”，从语法角度，此处应填关联词。四个选项中，只有as能用做关联词，表示过程。

　　82 D 根据语法和语义，此处应填动词的将来进行时的主动形式，意思是”随着书中内容的进一步深入，我们将处理诸如加强学习技能等的具体问题。”

　　83. C 根据上下文，这里应当指”学习技能”，动名词可用作名词修饰语，与名词构成名词短语，所以选C learning

　　84. B 固定短语to begin with，意为”首先，第一”，常用做插入语。

　　85. A 谓语动词pause后，look into又是动词原形短语，所以这里应当选to，构成动词不定式，作目的状语。其余选项都是介词，不合题意。

　　86. C 本句对全文进行总结概括，与文章的开头Of the most significance is the attitude相呼应，故选attitude。

　　Ten Essential Health Tips (The Basics to Practice Every Day)

　　”He who has health has hope, and he who has hope has everything.”

　　-Arabian Proverb

　　1. Move More

　　Make it a daily challenge to find ways to move your body. Climb stairs if given a choice between that and escalators or elevators. Walk your dog; chase your kids; toss balls with friends; mow the lawn. Anything that moves your limbs is not only a fitness tool, it’s a stress buster. Think “move” in small increments of time. It doesn’t have to be an hour in the gym or a 45-minute aerobic dance class or tai chi or kickboxing. But that’s great when you’re up to it. Meanwhile, move more. Thought for the day: Cha, Cha, Cha…Then do it !

　　2. Cut Fat

　　Avoid the obvious fat-contained food such as fried foods, burgers and other fatty meats (i. e. pork, bacon, ham, ribs and sausage). Dairy products such as cheese, cottage cheese, milk and cream should be eaten in low fat versions. Nuts and sandwich meats, mayonnaise (蛋黄酱)， margarine (人造黄油), butter and sauces should be eaten in limited amounts. Most are available in lower fat versions such as substitute butter, fat free cheeses and mayonnaise. Thought for the day: Lean, mean, fat-burning machine…Then be one!

　　3. Quit Smoking

　　The jury is definitely in on this verdict. Ever since 1960 when the Surgeon General announced that smoking was harmful to your health, Americans have been reducing their use of tobacco products that kill. Just recently, we’ve seen a surge in smoking in adolescents and teens. Could it be the Hollywood influence? It seems the stars in every movie of late smoke cigarettes. Beware. Warn your children of the false romance or “tough guy” stance of Hollywood smokers. Thought for the day: Give up just one cigarette…, then the next one.

　　4. Reduce Stress

　　Easier said than done, stress busters (压力消除器) come in many forms. Some techniques recommended by experts are to think positive thoughts. Spend 30 minutes a day doing something you like. Soak in a hot tub; walk on the beach or in a park; read a good book; visit a friend; play with your dog; listen to soothing music; watch a funny movie. Get a massage, a facial or a haircut. Meditate. Count to ten before losing your temper or getting angry. Avoid difficult people when possible. Thought for the day: When seeing red, think pink clouds…, then float on them.

　　5. Protect Yourself from Pollution

　　If you can’t live in a smog-free environment, at least avoid smoke-filled rooms, high traffic areas, breathing in highway fumes (烟气) and exercising near busy thoroughfares. Exercise outside when the smog-rating is low. Exercise indoors in air conditioning when air quality is good. Plant lots of shrubbery in your yard. It’s a good deterrent for pollution and dirt from the street. Thought for the day: Smoke gets in your eyes…, and your mouth, and your nose and your lungs as do pollutants.

　　6. Wear Your Seat Belt

　　Statistics show that seat belts add-to longevity and help reduce potential injuries in car crashes. Thought for the day: Buckle down (认真做) and buckle up (扣紧).

　　7. Floss Your Teeth

　　Recent studies make a direct connection between longevity and teeth flossing (用洁牙线清洁牙缝). Nobody knows exactly why. Perhaps it’s because people who floss tend to be more health conscious than people who don’t? Thought for the day: Floss and be. your body’s boss.

　　8. Avoid Excessive Drinking

　　While recent studies show a glass of wine or one drink a day(two for men) can help protect against heart disease, more than that can cause other health problems such as liver and kidney, disease and cancer. Thought for the day: A jug of wine should last a long time.

　　9. Keep a Positive Mental Outlook

　　There’s a sure and undeniable connection between living well and healthfully and having a cheerful outlook on life. Thought for the day: You can’t be unhappy when you’re smiling or singing.

　　10. Control Your Own Destiny

　　The link between genetics and health is a powerful one. But just because one or both of your parents died young in ill health doesn’t mean you cannot counteract the genetic pool handed down to you. Thought for the day: Follow these basic tips for healthy living and you can better control your own destiny.

Low 49 soil is not the only reason land could be considered marginal. It might be in an area where rainfall is 50 or where a hillside might rise too steeply (陡峭地）.

　　There are uses for marginal land, however. Most often it is used as grassland. Grasses provide excellent 51 for grazing(吃草）animals like cattle, sheep and goats. Grass seed can be bought from a foreign supplier or 52 grasses can be used. However, using marginal land for grazing is not a simple issue. There is a 53 of overgrazing. Cattle can damage the crops by eating down to the roots. Also, the weight of the animals crushes the soil and can make it too hard for growing. A(n) 54 way to reduce the harm is to move animals from one field to another. This method is known as rotational grazing (循环放牧）which is extremely important for marginal land.

　　Another use for marginal land is for tree crops. Studies have 55 that the white pine and loblolly pine(火炬松）are two kinds of trees that grow well on such land. They grow fast and provide good quality wood. Another tree is the poplar(白杨）,found in many parts of the world.

All are based on the chemistry of carbon, with its capacity for forming chains. The molecules that compose them (monomers) link together in the setting or curing (加工) process to form chains (polymers), which give plastics their flexible strength. Some plastics retain their ability to be softened and reshaped: like wax, they are thermoplastic. Others set permanently in the shapes they are given by heat and pressure; like eggs, they are thermosetting.

　　How to Get Prepared for a Job

　　With more and more graduates from colleges and universities every year, job hunting has become more and more difficult. In order to gain an upper hand, it is necessary for us to prepare ourselves when we are still on campus.

　　There are several measures college students can take to sharpen their edges. First, it is important to learn the kind of writing skills that will help us get an interview. Writing effective resumes, letters of application, and interview follow-up letters can give us an edge in the job market. Second, we should have knowledge of the job itself. The job we are looking for should neither be beyond our reach nor should it be too easy. Instead, it should bring your abilities into full play.

　　If I do get an interview, take time to prepare well for it. It could be the most important meeting of my career. Try to anticipate what questions will be asked and have answers ready.

Mr. Blake was very worried at the thought of the 10,000 dollars in his pocket.

　　Suddenly he saw a police-car and had a clever idea. He had just reached a small town where the speed limit was 40 miles an hour. He pressed down the accelerator and drove the car as fast as it would go. He looked back and saw the police-car had seen this and had begun to chase him.

　　Part ⅣReading Comprehension（Reading in Depth)

　　Section A

　　47. F 此处需填入一个动词原形，可选范围缩小到A、C、F、H、M和N，冒号后面的内容，显然是在对marginal land进行定义，故答案为F。

　　48. B 此处需要填入一个名词或动名词，可选范围缩小到A、B、C、I、J、K、M和N，根据前半句the last to be planted under good conditions marginal land肯定是首先要放弃的，故正确答案为B。

　　49. J 此处需要填入一个名词，形容词或相当于形容词功能的词来修饰soil，后面谈到的是自然和地理条件，因此这里应该填一个表示土壤质量的词。

　　50. E 此处需要填入一个形容词，名词或动词的现在或过去分词作表语，由于连接词是”or”，后面谈到的是不好的地理环境，那么这里肯定是雨水不足，正确答案为E。

　　51. A 此处需要填入一个名词或动名词作宾语，根据文章意思，草肯定是为食草动物提供了优质的饲料，因此正确答案为A。

　　52. K 此处需要填入一个形容词来修饰grasses,根据本句与foreign的对比逻辑关系可确定答案为K。

　　53. N 此处需要填入一个名词，根据下文cattle对marginal land的破坏可确定正确答案为N。

　　54. D 此处需要填入一个形容词，根据下文的描述可知，这里是指一个有效的方法，因此正确答案为D。

　　55. L 此处需要填入一个动词的过去分词，后面的内容是这项研究的成果，所以答案是L。

　　56. H 此处需要填入一个动词原形，根据a marginal resource into a highly productive one的鲜明对比可知这是一种转换，故正确答案为H。

　　Section B

　　Passage One

　　57. C 综合归纳题文章最后一段的第二句话是一个反问句，”cheap”"disposable”正是塑料制品的特点。A）、B）、D）三个选项都与其无关，所以答案是C。

　　58. C 关于塑料的分类，第一段主要谈了两种，一种是按照制作方法分成三类，另一种是按照是否可变形分成两类。四个选项中，C）项概括了第二种分类，而D）项的概括是不完整的；A）项和B）项则是错误的。

　　59. D 细节题由第二段最后一句可知A）项是错误的；而第一句证明C）项是不准确的。此外，第一段最后一句说明B）项的概括是不全面的。只有D）项可以通过第二段第一句证明是正确的。

　　60. C 综合判断题A）项的依据在第二段开头：”plastics have struggled through a hundred and twenty years of glory, failure, disrepute and suspicion…”说明塑料工业的发展经历了沉沉浮浮（ups and downs）。B）项可以在第二段第二句找到依据：”they make modern life…more comfortable and convenient…”。D）项的依据在本文最后一句：”…a great part of the fun of collecting plastics is that beautiful pieces of historical interest can still be found very cheap.”而C）项，否认有塑料古董的存在，这与第三段第一句中”the fact that there are plastic antiques”相矛盾，因此是错误的。

　　61. A 语义判断题”sympathetic”这个单词一般情况下被理解成”表示同情的”，但是这篇文章主要讨论塑料的作用，与情感无关，所以首先排除B）项。”Plastics are warm materials, sympathetic to the human touch”，本句中前提是”塑料是暖性材料”，只有A）项才符合这个前提。

　　Passage One

　　62. B 文章主旨题A）项的对比只是第一段的主要论述方式，第一段主题为最后一句”In short,…”,也可以看作是全文中心。第二段虽以history books开头，可后面的例证可以证明重点在”Art, on the other hand,…”。这些均阐明主题”What we can learn from art history”。

　　63. C 细节题答案在第一段中。本段通过对比通史和艺术史的不同，说明艺术史更能让人深刻理解历史，原因在于艺术史除了讲述通史讲述的政治、经济和战争之外，还涉及民族政治观、宗教信仰、情感心理，人们的日常活动等。

　　64. A 语义辨析题本题要求考生选出”Art,…， is subjective”的原因，答案就在后面一句”it reflects emotions and opinions”中。故选A）项。B）项孤立地概括三个例子，没有反映出例证在上下文中的作用，不正确；C）项是文中提到的事实，但与本题无关，也不正确；而D）项则完全与本文无关。

　　65. A 细节题B）项的错误在于没有认识到这三个例子都是为了证明艺术反应艺术家的个人观点；C）项的意思和原文完全相反，可参考第二段第一句话，而A）项正好是这句话的例子；D）项与文中说法有差异，表达得过于绝对，不是正确答案。

　　66. D 综合判断题本题解题关键在倒数第二句，欧洲与中东的不同在于穆斯林不像欧洲人那样将人物和动物雕刻在石头上，我们自然可以推断出中东建筑物上只有植物图案或几何图形了。

　　Part ⅤCloze

　　67. C 本句是对”quality of life”的解释，后面的宾语是一个范围，C）符合题意，意为：”包括，包含”。选项A）”组成”；选项B）”包含”，与of搭配使用；选项D）”制定”。

　　68. D 此处需填一个与leisure并列，含义相近的词，选项D）符合题意，这里指生活质量包括的休闲（leisure）与娱乐。选项A）”短程旅行”；选项B）”预订”；选项C）”承认”。

　　69. B generally speaking意为”一般来说”常置于句首，引出个人观点符合句意。frankly speaking意为”坦白来说”，不能使句意通顺。

　　70. A in terms of意为”在……方面”，可使句意通顺。选项B）in place of意为”代替”。

　　71. C 生活质量指的是人们享受到生活的不同方面的程度，即人们可得到的程度，选项C）available符合题意。

　　72. A 此处需要填一个副词和carry搭配，表示activity在进行，A）符合题意，指活动的进行。B）”贯彻，维持”；C）”运走”；D）”获得”。
