Reading Comprehension (45 points, 50 minutes) 　　 Directions: There are 6 passages in this part. Each passage is followed by some questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A), B), C) and D). You should decide on the best choice and mark the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet with a single line through the centre.　　 Passage 1 　　 Question 51 to 55 are based on the　following passage: 　　 Censorship (语语) is for the good of society as a whole. Imagine what chaos there would be if we lived in a society without laws. Like the law, censorship contributes to the common good. 　　 Some people think that it is disgraceful that a censor should interfere with works of art. Who is this person, they say, to ban this great book or cut that great film? No one can set himself up as a superior being. But we must remember two things. Firstly, where genuine works of art are concerned, modern censors are extremely liberal in their views----often far more liberal than a large section of the public. Artistic merit is something which censors clearly recognize. And secondly, we must bear in mind that the great proportion of books, plays and films which come before the censor are very far from being "works of art". 　　 When discussing censorship, therefore, we should not confine our attention to great masterpieces, but should consider the vast numbers of publications and films which make up the bulk (大部分) of the entertainment industry. When censorship laws are relaxed, dishonest people are given a licence to produce virtually anything in the name of "art". There is an increasing tendency to equate "artistic" with "pornographic" (色情的).So one of the great things that censorship does is to prevent certain people from making fat profits by corrupting the minds of others. Society would really be poorer if it deprived itself of the wise counsel and the restraining influence which a censor provides. 　　 51,A censor's duty is ____. 　　 A) to see there is no filthy content in publications or films 　　 B) to ban books and cut films 　　 C) to distinguish works of art from others 　　 D) to make sure that no licence is given to dishonest people 　　 52,Some people are against censorship for the reason that ____.　　 A) censorship is not consistent with the ideals of democracy　　 B) censors prevent people from making profits 　　 C) censors are conservative and cannot appreciate artistic merit 　　 D) censorship limits the way people feel and think 　　 53,When the writer says "to equate 'artistic' which 'pornographic', he means ____. 　　 A) there is no clear distinction between what is artistic and what is pornographic 　　 B) masterpieces are sometimes offensive to decency 　　 C) many pornographic works will be published in the name of art 　　 D) artistic works and pornographic works have the same market value　　 54,According to the writer, a society free from censorship ____.　　 A) would be poor materially 　　 B) would expose its people to dangers of being corrupted 　　 C) could not develop its entertainment industry 　　 D) would allow only a small section of people to make profits　　 55,All the following are the writer's views except that ____.　　 A) censors are fully qualified for their job 　　 B) masterpieces even with pornographic content are still masterpieces 　　 C) society will not do without censorship 　　 D) many books, plays and films are not works of art 　　 Passage 2 Question 56 to 60 are based on the following passage: 　　A few weeks ago I was talking to a school inspector in one of the more fashionable districts of Paris. She astonished me by saying that if she had young children today, she'd probably send them to a private school. She had devoted 25 years of her life to the ideal of free public education, she said, but the truth was the state system was in a mess. There are two main problems: State schools in France have to accept whatever teachers are assigned to them by the Ministry of Education. As my school inspector friend put it, "one year a school may be excellent; three or four years later, half the teachers may be incapable!" That is not very reassuring if you're a parent. Private schools can choose their own teachers. The other problem is discipline or, rather, the lack of it. Not long ago a school in Birmingham made headlines in Britain because the teachers were being terrorized by their pupils. In the desolate suburbs of low-cost apartment blocks, thrown together in the 1960s on the outskirts of most big French cities, such stories are commonplace. Vandalism(破坏他人的行语语语语语), drug-taking and extortion aren't limited to schools in poor areas either. A recent poll found that 88 percent of French children rate as the biggest problem of their school lives the prevalence (流行, 猖獗)of factions and gangs which spend all their time fighting one another. Small wonder, then, that the private schools, with their emphasis on traditional values, are undergoing a new surge of popularity (despite disapproval from France's new socialist leaders), and competition to get into the best of them has now become intense. 56,The French school inspector has long been a supporter of ____. A) compulsory education B) free private education C) private schools D) the state school system 57,The French state education system ____. A) does not guarantee the competence of teachers B) seems to have no serious difficulties C) is running smoothly D) promises to maintain high standards 58,Private schools in France today ____. A) are generally undergoing changes for the worse B) enjoy the prestige(声望) of becoming the place to send one's children to C) have become victims of vandalism D) never hire teachers who stress traditional values 59,Lack of discipline among students is rampant in state schools ____.A) in the Paris slums, but not in other areas B) noticeably and solely in the poorer areas in French cities C) almost everywhere in France D) rather restricted to Birmingham 60,France children who wish to go to the best private schools can do so by ____.A) taking highly competitive examinations B) simply sending in applicationsC) joining factions and gangs D) drawing lots Part ? Cloze ( 10 points, 15 minutes ) Directions: There are 20 blanks in the following passage. For each blank there are four choices marked A), B), C) and D). You should choose the One that the best fits into the passage. Then mark the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet with a single line through the cettre. 　　Today vegetables, fish, fruit, meat and beer are canned in enormous quantities. Within three generations the 81 habits of millions have been revolutionized. Foods that were previously 82 may now be eaten at any time, and strange foods are 83 far from the countries where they are 84 . The crops many farmers now produce often depend on the nearness of a canning factory.The first stage in the canning 85 is the preparation of the raw food. Diseased and waste portions are thrown 86 ; meat and fish are cleaned and trimmed; fruit and vegetables washed and graded for 87 . The jobs are principally 88 by machine. The next stage, for vegetables only, is soak in very 89 or boiling water for a short time to remove air and 90 the vegetable. This makes 91 easier to pack into cans for sterilization (free from living germs).Some packing machines fill 92 to 400 cans a minute. Fruit, fish and meat are packed raw and cold into cans, and then all the air is removed. 93 the cans are sealed, the pressure inside each can is only about half the pressure of the outside air. The sterilization process which follows the cans are subjected 94 steam or boiling water, with the temperature and time 95 according to the type of food. Cans of fruit, for example, 96 only 5-10 minutes in boiling water, 97 meat and fish are cooked at higher temperatures for 98 period. After sterilization, the cans are cooled quickly to 32 degree to prevent the contents 99 becoming too soft. The final stage before sending off to the grocer is labeling, and packing the tins into boxes. Nowadays, however, labeling is often printed on in 100 by the can-maker and no paper labels are then required. 81,A) eat 　　 B) eatable 　　 C) eaten 　　 D) eating 82,A) monthly 　 B) year-round 　 C) seasonal 　　 D) quarterly 83,A) accessible 　 B) obtained 　 C) available 　　 D) usable 84,A) planting 　 B) grown 　　 C) growing 　　 D) producing 85,A) process 　 B) reaction 　　 C) procession　 D) program 86,A) about 　 B) away 　　 C) down 　　 D) up 87,A) size 　　 B) length 　　 C) height 　 D) breadth 88,A) had 　 B) fulfilled 　　　 C) pocked 　　 D) done 89,A) chilly 　　 B) cold 　　 C) hot 　　　D) freezing 90,A) soften 　 B) cook 　　 C) steam 　　 D) harden 91,A) them 　 B) it 　　　 C) us 　　　 D) that 92,A) up 　　 B) down 　　 C) in 　　 D) on 93,A) When 　 B) If 　　　C) Although 　 D) Before 94,A) on 　　 B) to 　　 C) in 　　　　 D) at 95,A) varies 　　 B) vary 　 C) varied 　　 D) varying 96,A) cost 　　B) spend 　 C) take 　　 D) consume 97,A) as 　　 B) because 　 C) while 　　 D) for 98,A) less 　　 B) longer 　 C) shorter 　　 D) more 99,A) off 　　 B) through 　 C) by 　　　D) from 100.

Cars are an important 21 of life in the United States. 22 most people feel that they are poor. And 23 if a person is poor he doesn't feel really poor 24 he has a car. There are three main reasons the car became so 25 in the United States. 26 of all, the country is a huge one and Americans like to move 27 in it. The car provides the most comfortable and 28 form of transportation. 29 a car people can go any place without spending a lot of money. The second reason cars are popular is the fact 30 the United States never developed 31 and inexpensive form of public 32 . Long-distance trains have never been 33 common in the United States as they are in other parts of the world. Nowadays there is a good system of air-service 34 planes. But it is 35 expensive to be used frequently. The third reason is the most important one, though. The American spirit of independence is 36 really made cars popular. Americans don't like to wait 37 a bus, or a train or even a plane. They don't like to have to 38 an exact schedule. A car gives them the freedom to schedule 39 time.

For each question there are four choices. Choose the best answer to each question. Then blacken the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet.Questions 41 to 45 are based on the following passage: All the housewives who went to the new supermarket had one great ambition: to be the lucky customer who did not have to pay for her shopping. For this was what the notice just inside the entrance promised. It said: “Remember, once a week, one of our customers gets free goods. This May Be Your Lucky Day!” For several weeks Mrs. Edwards hoped, like many of her friends, to be the lucky customer. Unlike her friends, she never gave up hoping. The cupboards in kitchen were full of things which she did not need. Her husband tried to advise her against buying things but failed. She dreamed of the day when the manager of the supermarket would approach her and say: “Madam, this is Your Lucky Day. Everything in your basket is free.” One Friday morning, after she had finished her shopping and had taken it to her car, she found that she had forgotten to buy any tea. She went back to the supermarket, got the tea and went towards the cash-desk. As she did so, she saw the manager of the supermarket approach her. “Madam,” he said, holding out his hand, “I want to congratulate you! You are our lucky customer and everything you have in your basket is free!” 41. The housewives learnt about the free goods _______.

Mrs. Edwards must have been ________. A. pleased B. delighted C. proud D. disappointed Questions 46 to 50 are based on the following passage: A third of British people are overweight, states a report published in January by the Royal College of Physicians, the result of an 18-month-long study. About 5,of children weigh too much, and are likely to stay that way for life; in the mid-twenties age group the proportion of fat people rises to a third, and of the middle-age population half are overweight. Fat people risk severe health problems, says the report, including high blood pressure, breathlessness, and various forms of heart disease. Smoking is particularly risky for overweight people. The safest way to lose weight is to eat cereals, bread, fruit and vegetables, and cut down on fatty meats, butter and sweet foods. Current diets do far more harm than good; slimming machines that vibrate muscles have not been proved useful; saunas (蒸气浴) merely remove a little body water, and health farms, says the report, serve as expensive holidays. The report emphasizes that exercise is most important to health. Though it doesn’t necessarily reduce weight, it maintains the correct proportion of body fat to body muscle. And it isn’t only for the young. From middle age a minimum of 20 minutes of gentle physical jerks should be practiced three times a week. The report advocates several public health measures to combat the high prevalence of overweight in this country. They include an increase of tax on alcohol to reduce its increasing, and dangerously fattening consumption; and the provision of more sports facilities by local authorities. Britain’s doctors, the report concludes, must learn to be more sympathetic and specific in their advice to the overweight, encouraging a change in eating habits on a long-term basis, and taking into account the many—often complex—reasons why fat people are fat.46. The passage is mainly about______. A. why many British people are overweight B. how to avoid getting overweight C. British people’ s overweight problem D. the relations between overweight and health 47. According to the report,a person is most likely to stay fat for the whole of his life if he______. A. gets fat in middle ageB. gets fat in his twenties C. gets fat when he is a childD. is born fat 48. The report thinks that exercise________. A. is a way to reduce weightC. can convert fat to muscle B. is a sure way to keep one healthyD. sometimes increases weight 49. The report points out that drinking too much alcohol________. A. will also cause a person to get overweight B. will cause a person to do less sports C. will make a person forget the fact that he is fat D. will lead a person to bad eating habits 50. The report suggests that when treating the overweight, doctors should______. A. encourage a long-term diet for everyone B. first consider why so many people are overweight C. know that there are complex reasons why a person gets overweight D. be more considerate and give detailed advice Questions 51 to 55 are based on the following passage: A scientist who does research in economic psychology and who wants to predict the way in which consumers will spend their money must study consumer behavior. He must obtain data both on the resources of consumers and on the motives that tend to encourage or discourage money spending. If an economist were asked which of the three groups borrow most—people with rising incomes, stable incomes or declining incomes—he would probably answer those with declining incomes. Actually, in the years 1947-1950, the answer was: people with rising incomes. People with declining incomes were next and people with stable incomes borrowed the least. This shows us that traditional assumptions about earning and spending are not always reliable. Another traditional assumption is that if people who have money expect prices to go up, they will hasten to buy. If they expect prices to go down, they will postpone buying. But research surveys have shown that this is not always true. The expectations of price increases may not stimulate buying. The investigations mentioned above were carried out in America. Investigations conducted at the same time in Great Britain, however, yielded results that were more in agreement with traditional assumptions about saving and spending patterns. The condition most favorable to spending appears to be price stability. If prices have been stable and people consider that they are reasonable, they are likely to buy. Thus, it appears that common business policy of maintaining stable prices is based on correct understanding of consumer psychology. 51. According to the passage, if one wants to predict the way consumers will spend their money, he should _______. A. try to encourage or discourage consumers to spend money B. carry out investigations on consumer behavior C. do researches in consumer psychology in a laboratory D. rely on traditional assumptions about earning and spending 52. According to paragraph 2, one traditional assumption is that people with______ incomes borrow most. A. averageB. stableC. decliningD. rising 53. The results of the investigations on consumer psychology carried out in America were ______ those of the investigations made at the same time in Great Britain.A. not as good asB. much better than C. exactly the same asD. somewhat different from 54. Which of the following statements is always TRUE according to surveys mentioned in the passage_______? A. Consumers will put off buying things if they expect prices to decrease.B. Consumers will spend their money quickly if they expect prices to increase.C. The price condition has an influence on consumer behavior. D. Traditional assumptions about earning and spending are reliable. 55. From the results of the surveys, the writer of this article _______.A. concludes that the saving and spending patterns in Great Britain are better than those in America B. concludes that consumers always expect prices to remain stable C. does not draw any conclusion D. concludes that maintaining stable prices is correct business policy Section 2 Directions: Read the following passage, and then decide whether the statements are true(A) or false (B) (判断,的在答卡上画对对对对对对对对对对对A,的在答卡 对对对 上画B。) Questions 56 to 60 are based on the following passage: Joe Bloggs worked in a large and famous company. The president of the company believed in keeping his employees (雇语) happy. One year,he offered them a pension (语老金) fund. The idea was that the workers would pay five percent of their wages into a pension fund. The company would also pay a sum equal to five percent. When an employee retired from the company,he could take with him all the money that he and the company had put into his pension fund. “I will open the pension fund, ”the president of the company said, “as soon as you all agree to join. Unless you all join, I won’t open the fund. You’ve got a week to make up your minds. The idea was a very good one and everyone except Joe Bloggs agreed to join. “I don’t understand it,” Bloggs said. His co-workers tried to explain it to him, but he just kept saying, “I still don’t understand it.” Time passed and when there was only an hour left before the week was up, the president sent for Joe Bloggs to come to his office on the 20th floor. “Mr. Bloggs,” he said, “all the employees agree with what I am going to say to you. So listen carefully.” “It had better be good.”Bloggs said. “Oh, it is,” the president said. “If you don’t agree to join the pension fund before I finish counting to ten, the security guards will throw you out of the window. Joe Bloggs immediately signed the form which said he would agree to join the plan. “Now that you have explained it clearly”, he said, “of course I’ll join.” ( )56.The company would put more money into an employee’s pension fund.

A Paper Two ，60minutes, 卷二分核分人语语语核人 Part IV. Reading Comprehension (Short Answer Questions) (10 points; 15 minutes), 得分 语卷人语语人 Directions: This passage is followed by five questions or incomplete statements. Read the passage carefully. Then answer the questions or complete the statements in the fewest possible words. Write your answers on Paper Two. Questions 61 to 65 are based on the following passage. Imagine a classroom missing the one thing that has long been considered a necessary part to reading and writing: paper. No notebooks, no textbooks, no test paper. And there are no pencils or pens, which, after all, always seem to run out of ink at the critical moment. A “paperless classroom” is what more and more schools are trying to achieve. Students don’t do any handwriting in this class. Instead, they use palm-sized (手掌大小的), or specially designed computers. The teacher downloads texts from Internet libraries and sends them to every student’s personal computer. Having computers also means that students can search the Web. They can look up information on any subject they’re studying, from math to social science. And exams can go online, too. At a school in Tennessee, U.S.A., students take tests on their own computers. The teacher records the grades on the network for everyone to see and then copies them into his or her own electronic grade book. A paperless classroom is a big step towards reducing the waste of paper. The school teacher, Stephanie Sorrell in Kentucky, U.S.A., said she used to give about 900 pieces of paper each week to the students. “Think about the money and trees we could save with the computers, ”she said. But, with all this technology, there’s always the risk that the machines will break down. So, in case of a power failure or technical problem, paper textbooks are still widely available for these hi-tech students. 61. Students use____________________________ instead of doing any handwriting in a paperless classroom. 62. Texts for a paperless classroom are from____________________________. 63. When an exam goes online, the teacher will easily record the grades on the network and then copy them into his or her own _________________________. 64. The last but one paragraph mainly tells us that ________________________can be saved by the use of computers. 65. Paper textbooks are used in a paperless classroom if _____________________.Part V.
