For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D.

Ted Sweeney was an exception to this rule. His family moved to San Francisco from Los Angeles when he was one month old. That’s where he grew up. At the age of seventeen he was hit by a train. Although he was not seriously hurt, the railroad paid him $25,000. Instead of going to college he bought a small store. Six months later the government bought his land to build a new highway. He sold it for $95,000. With this money he moved to Detroit. He started a small company that made parts for the car manufacturers. It was very successful and by the time he was 23 he was a millionaire. When he was 24 he got married. He and his wife had three daughters in the next five years. By the time he was 30 he had over ten million dollars. Then tragedy struck. He was involved in a traffic accident. He did not die but his wife and daughters did. Six months later he sold everything he owned and put his money in stocks. Ted then moved to New York. He lived for the next forty years in a one-room apartment. He spent most of his days wandering through the city looking in garbage cans for food. He never worked. He rarely talked to anyone except himself. Most people were afraid of him. His clothes were always old and dirty. Shortly before he died he moved back to Los Angeles. After spending two weeks there he was put in jail because he had no money and no job. City workers tried to help him. They offered him work but he would not work. Towards the end he would not talk to anyone at all. When he died, he was a lonely man. But someone remembered his name. They knew he had lived in Detroit and had been successful. It was learned that he had put his stocks in a box at a Detroit bank. After they were sold and all the taxes paid, there was still over a hundred million dollars left. Where did Sweeney grow up? A San Francisco. B Detroit C Los Angeles D New York. 【正确】：A 【本题分数】：2.0分 第2题 Sweeney became successful in business by _______.

The public school system, however, has no such choice, for the jobs must be carried on at the same time. Because we depend so heavily upon science and technology for our progress, we produce specialists in many fields. Because we live in a democratic nation, whose citizens make the policies for the nation, large numbers of us must be educated to understand, to support, and when necessary, to judge the work of experts. The public school must educate both producers and users of scientific services. In education, there should be a balance among the branches of knowledge that contribute to effective thinking and wise judgment. Such balance is defeated by too much emphasis on any one field. This question of balance involves not only the relation of the natural sciences, the social sciences, and the arts, but also relative emphasis among the natural sciences themselves. Similarly, we must have a balance between current and classical knowledge. The attention of the public is continually drawn to new possibilities in scientific fields and the discovery of new knowledge; these should not be allowed to turn our attention away from the sound, established materials that form the basis of courses for beginners. According to the passage, the task for the public school system is _______. A complicated B simple C easy D unnecessary 【正确答案】：A 【本题分数】：2.0分 第7题 Whom must the public school educate according to the writer? A Common people only. B Both experts and officials.

A The latest developments in science and technology. B The work of experts. C Both newly-found and well-established knowledge. D The basis of courses for beginners. 【正确答案】：C 【本题分数】：2.0分 第10题 Which of the following is the best title for the passage? A Subjects in Public School System. B Balance in Education. C Judging the Work of Experts. D Education and Knowledge. 【正确答案】：B 【本题分数】：2.0分 第11题 Dear Mr. Paul, Well, I’ve just signed the lease(租约) and I’m opening my own radio and TV repair shop. Even though I haven’t finished half the course yet, the practical experience I had before I started and what I’ve learned from you folks so far makes me feel I can make a go of it. I guess that gives you some idea why I’ve gotten a little behind in my payments. I think I owe you for three months right now. It takes a lot of money to start a shop, fix it up and get all the tools and equipment. Everybody’s been very nice to me. The companies I approached have all agreed to give me credit even though I'm new and never did any business with them before. Well, you folks have known me for nearly six months now and until recently I’ve always paid on time. You know what can be made in this business and from the good grades and reports I’ve had on my assignments I think you know I have what it takes to make this business a success. So I’m asking you to do what the people who don’t know me have done. I want to complete the course just as fast as I can. The more I know the better I can do, but I want you to give me credit. I want to finish the course and pay you when the shop starts earning money. Maybe six months from now, I’ll have an easy time paying. In the meantime keep me going and you can count on getting your money when I’m through. I’ve got to hold on to all my money for working capital. I'll appreciate your cooperation.

But after the recent bombing in Riyadh, energy analysts (分析家) are nervously reassessing(重新评估) the stability of supplies of crude from the oil kingdom. Since oil prices are relatively high entering winter, Americans will notice any further problems in Saudi Arabia as they fill up their gas tank or pay for home heating oil. 1) The price for West Texas crude closed above $32 a barrel last week, the highest point since the beginning of October and up from about $25 a barrel last year at this time.The higher price of crude is already reflected in steeper costs than last season: home heating oil is up some 19 cents a gallon, and gasoline is 9 cents a gallon higher. “The only thing keeping prices above $25 a barrel is fear of terrorist (恐怖分子) activity,” says Dennis Gartman, publisher of the Gartman Letter, an influential political and economic newsletter. “2) All things being equal and if there are no terrorist attacks, these are very high prices.” The US depends heavily on Saudi Arabia for oil. In terms of that arrangement, 3) one key concern, says Mr. Gartman, is the long distance that Saudi Arabia moves its oil to terminals (终点). “The pipelines are long and exposed as they move across the desert,” he says. “I don’t care how vigilant (警觉) you are, there are places that you are not defending.” So far, however, there have been no attacks on the pipelines, producing areas, or terminals. The most recent attack was on a housing complex. But energy analysts are taking seriously such a target - more political than economic - particularly since 4) Saudi Arabia is the second-largest supplier of oil to the United States and represents one-third of all oil produced by OPEC (石油输出国组织).“(5) The problems should remind us how dependent we are on Saudi oil production,” says Robert Hormats, vice chairman of Goldman Sachs International in New York. “We have an interest in a stable Saudi Arabia.” The price for West Texas crude closed above $32 a barrel last week, the highest point since the beginning of October 【正确答案】： 答案: 上周西得克萨斯原油的收盘价每桶超过32美元，是自十月初以来的最高点。 第2题 All things being equal and if there are no terrorist attacks, these are very high prices. 【正确答案】： 答案: 如果一切情况相同，那么要是没有恐怖主义袭击的话，这些是非常高的价格了。 第3题 one key concern is the long distance that Saudi Arabia moves its oil to terminals (终点). 【正确答案】： 答案: 一个主要的关注点是沙特阿拉伯把石油输终点的那段长长的距离。 第4题 Saudi Arabia is the second-largest supplier of oil to the United States and represents one-third of all oil produced by OPEC (石油输出国组织). 【正确答案】： 答案: 沙特阿拉伯是美国第二大石油供应者，其产量占石油输出国组织总产量的三分之一。 第5题 The problems should remind us how dependent we are on Saudi oil production. 【正确答案】： 答案: 这些问题提醒到我们是如何地依赖沙特的石油生产。 五、Chinese to English（本大题5小题．每题1.0分，共5.0分。In this part there are five sentences in Chinese. You should translate them into English. Be sure to write clearly. ） 第1题 玛丽考虑结婚后辞掉工作，在家照顾丈夫和孩子。 【正确答案】： 答案: Mary considers quitting her job after getting married and taking care of her husband and children at home. 第2题 一个小孩是否能健康成长取决于他生活的环境。 【正确答案】： 答案: Whether a child can grow up healthily or not depends on the surroundings in which he lives. 第3题 他宁可住在宁静的乡村，而不愿迁往喧闹的城市。 【正确答案】： 答案: He’d rather live in the quiet countryside than move to the noisy cities. 第4题 他渴望早日康复，回到校园继续他的教学和科研工作。 【正确答案】： 答案: He has a desire to recover earlier and return to school to continue his teaching and researches. 第5题 当地经济的四大特点可以归纳如下。 【正确答案】： 答案: The four characteristics of the local economy can be concluded as follows. 六、Listening Comprehension（Section B ）（共10小题,共10.0分）In this section, you will hear one dialogue and one short passage.
