[翻译题,10分] It is obvious that television has both advantages and disadvantages. In the first place, television is not only a convenient source of pleasure, but also a quite cheap one. For a family of four, for example, it is more convenient as well as cheaper to sit comfortably at home, with so many interesting programs available, than to go out for something else. There is no transport to arrange. They do not have to pay for expensive seats at the theatre, or the like, only to discover, perhaps, that the show is disappointing. All they have to do is to turn a knob, and they can see plays and shows of every kind, not to mention the latest current events. Some people, however, maintain that this is just where the danger lies. Those who watch television need do noting. They are completely passive and have everything presented to them without any effort on their part
9 [翻译题,10分] China’s economy is developing very quickly, and has brought with it a culture of consumption more prevalent (流行) with each passing day. At the same time, it has brought into being an educated group of young people who enjoy capitalist consumption way（资本主义消费模式）. They’re used to spending money as soon as they get it every month, and so are called “the moon-light group”. This word came into being during the 1990s, to make fun of those born into wealth, who have received a high education, and who appreciate fast food culture
8 [翻译题,10分] In the past seven years, China’s real estate（房地产）industry has developed in a record high speed. For those who earn less but are eager to own a decent and comfortable place of their own in a big city, the high housing price is a heavy burden that they cannot afford. For this reason, the government has taken a series of measures to prevent the housing price from rising too fast, including raising interest rates（利率）and increasing taxes on real estate（房产税）etc. Presently, these measures have achieved initial effects in some cities

6 [翻译题,10分] The Great Wall is one of the wonders of the world that created by human beings! If you come to China without climbing the Great Wall, it.s just like going Paris without visiting the Eiffel Tower（埃菲尔铁塔）; or going to Egypt without visiting the Pyramids（金字塔）. Men often say, “He who does not reach the Great Wall is not a true man.”In fact, it began as independent walls for different states when it was first built, and did not become the “Great Wall” until the Qin Dynasty. However, the wall we see today, starting from Shanhaiguan Pass in the east to Jiayunguan Pass in the west, was mostly built during the Ming Dynasty.
Passage 1 As little children, most of us were taught the virtue (美德) of honesty from fairy tales and other stories. The story of Pinocchio, who begins life as a puppet (木偶), teaches us the importance of telling the truth. In the story of young George Washington, who lies about cutting down the cherry tree, we learn that he earns his father’s praise only when he admits what he has done. Even though we know that “honesty is the best policy,” why do we often lie in our everyday life? The fact is that we lie for many reasons. We sometimes lie to minimize (将……最小化) our errors and mistakes. For example, some students might lie to their teachers about unfinished homework. They might say that they left the work at home when, in fact, they didn’t even do the work. These students don’t want to be irresponsible (无责任感的), so they make up a lie to save face. Another reason we lie is to get out of situations we don’t want to be in. If we just don’t want to attend the dorm meeting early on Saturday morning, we might give the excuse: “I’ve been fighting off a cold all week, and I need to sleep on Saturday morning.” We lie because we believe that telling the truth will cause problems. When we don’t know how to say no, we often use lies to avoid difficulties. However, lies are not always negative (消极的); in fact two kinds of lies can yield positive (积极的) results. The first is commonly referred to as a “white lie.” We tell white lies when we don’t want to hurt other people’s feelings. For example, if a good friend shows up with an unflattering (难看的) haircut, we could be truthful and say, “That haircut is awful. It doesn’t suit you at all!” Instead, we are more likely to lie and say, “I like your haircut. It looks good on you,” and spare our friend’s feelings. The second kind of positive lie is the “protective lie.” This one can help us get out of or avoid dangerous situations. Parents often teach their children to use this kind of lie. For example, parents tell their children not to say that they are home alone if they receive phone calls from strangers. In this situation, lying can prevent harm or disaster. People lie for many reasons, both good and bad. However, before we resort to (采用) lying to cover up mistakes or to avoid unpleasant situations, perhaps we should rethink our motives (动机) for lying. 1. What is mainly discussed in this passage? A. The importance of telling the truth. B. Positive and negative results produced by lies. C. The reasons or motives for telling lies. D. How to stop telling lies. 2. Which of the following is a “white lie” according to the passage? A. A lie told by a student to his teacher about unfinished homework. B. A lie told by someone who wants to avoid hurting others. C. A lie told by child to avoid an unfavorable situation. D. A lie told by a boy who cried wolf. 3. Why do some students lie to their teachers about their unfinished homework? A. Because they want to minimize their mistakes. B. Because they have no idea about the virtue of honesty. C. Because they have left their homework at home. D. Because they don’t have a sense of responsibility. 4. Which of the following can be regarded as an “unflattering haircut”? A. A haircut that is pleasant to the eye. B. A haircut that suits somebody well. C. A haircut that does not look good on someone. D. A haircut that is fashionable and popular. 5. Which of the following statements is NOT true according to the passage? A. People tell lies in order to maintain their relationship. B. Telling the truth may cause problems on some occasions. C. “Protective lies” can help us get out of dangerous situations. D. Lies do not always produce negative results. CBACA Passage 2 Psychological research has focused on a number of basic principles that help memory: meaningfulness, organization, association, and visualization. It is useful to know how there principles work. Meaningfulness affects memory at all levels. Information that does not make any sense to you is difficult to remember. There are several ways in which we can make material more meaningful. Many people, for instance, learn a rhyme to help them remember. Do you know the rhyme "Thirty days has September, April, June, and November..."? It helps many people remember which months of the year have 30 days. Organization also makes
4 [阅读题,10分] Passage1 Youth is not a matter of time but a matter of self-improvement, both physically and morally. Being a good youth, one should have those factors: the basic one is health. A healthy body is a kind of priceless treasure. One can do nothing without it. Secondly, we should pay essential attention to our moral character. We should be always willing to help those in trouble without any complaints. Moreover, we should care more about the people around us. Thirdly, cooperation and communication also play an important role in being a good youth. No one can live alone without any friends. And nobody can work out every problem without help of partners. So the youth should and must learn how to live and work well with others, including those people you don.t like to cooperate or communicate with. The last but not the least, patriotism, meaning a love of one.s country, is the one we should never forget. People always misunderstand the word “patriots” by thinking it only refers to those fighters who fight for their country. As a matter of fact, a patriot will do the things his country asks him to do. So being a youth is one thing, being a good one really needs to take every effort to make yourself to be. 1. The passage really wants to tell us that ________. A) what the meaning of “patriots” is B) the qualities a good youth should have C) a youth should be doing good D) one should help others 2. The first thing a good youth should have is A) the best looking B)the best riches C) the good ability D)a healthy body 3. A good youth should help others A) willingly B) at his convenience C) if he wants to D) with complains 4. From the passage, we can know that cooperation and communication are A) good for some introverts B) helpful to us C) important to everyone D) not necessary to good friends 5. In the author.s opinion, the patriots must A) fight for the country B) learn everything C) do what their country need them to do D)protect their family and country BDACC Passage 2 Normally a student must attend a certain number of courses in order to graduate, and each course which he attends gives him a credit which he may count towards a degree. In many American universities the total work for a degree consists of thirty-six courses each lasting for one semester. A typical course consists of three classes per week for fifteen weeks; while attending a university a student will probably attend four or five courses during each semester. Normally a student would expect to take four years attending two semesters each year. It is possible to spread the period of work for the degree over a longer period. It is also possible for a student to move between one university and another during his degree course, though this is not in fact done as a regular practice. For every course that he follows a student is given a grade, which is recorded, and the record is available for the student to show to prospective employers. All this imposes a constant pressure and strain of work, but in spite of this some students still find time for great activity in student affairs. Elections to positions in student organizations arouse much enthusiasm. The effective work of maintaining discipline is usually performed by students who advise the academic authorities. Any student who is thought to have broken the rules, for example, by cheating has to appear before a student court. With the enormous numbers of students, the operation of the system does involve a certain amount of activity. A student who has held one of these positions of authority is much respected and it will be of benefit to him later in his career. 1. Normally a student would at least attend __________classes each week. A) 36 B) 12 C) 20 D) 15 2. According to the first paragraph an American student is allowed _______. A) to live in a different university B) to take a particular course in a different university C) to live at home and drive to classes D) to get two degrees from two different universities 3. American university students are usually under pressure of work because_________. A) their academic performance will affect their future careers B) they are heavily involved in student affairs C) they have to observe university discipline D) they want to run for positions of authority 4.Some students are enthusiastic for positions in student organizations probably because_________. A) they hate the constant pressure and strain of their study B) they will then be able to stay longer in the university C) such positions help them get better jobs D) such positions are usually well paid 5. The student organizations seem to be effective in _________. A) dealing with the academic affairs of the university B) ensuring that the students observe university regulations C) evaluating students’ performance by bringing them before a court D) keeping up the students’ enthusiasm for social activities BADCD Passage 3 What are the beauties of Hawaii? Let’s start with four. The beach, famous for its water temperature, air temperature and waves, is the first beauty. There are hundreds of miles of beaches on the twenty islands of Hawaii. They are thought to be among the finest beaches in the world. Then, what do you think would be the second beautiful thing? It is volcanoes (火山), of course. These volcanoes are not just a part of the islands; they made the islands in the first place. Because of them the islands are still growing. What would be the third thing of beauty that the first visitor to Hawaii would notice? It probably wouldn’t be just one thing, but many things: all the wonderful fruits and flowers of the islands. Sugar cane, bananas and pineapples are Hawaii’s biggest exports. Sugar cane has been growing in Hawaii for a thousand years. As for pineapples, the islands produce more than any other places in the world, which has made Dole Company the biggest fruit-packing company in the world. The fourth and most beautiful thing about Hawaii is the people who live there. The Hawaiians never rush, and perhaps this is because they care more for human life than they care for the machine. There is an old Hawaiian law that a man can go to sleep in the middle of the road if he wants to. What makes the people of Hawaii so beautiful is their feeling about people. There are 64 different combinations of races on the islands, and they all live in peace. They believe “Above all nations is humanity.” That is the most beautiful thing of all. 26. According to the passage, Hawaii is made up of __. A. one island B. twenty islands C. sixty-four islands D. hundreds of islands 27. Why are the volcanoes so special to the islands? A.

3 [阅读题,10分] Passage 1 Upon reaching an appropriate age (usually between 18 and 21 years), children are encouraged, but not forced, to “leave the nest” and begin an independent life. After children leave home they often find social relationship and financial support outside the family. Parents do not arrange marriages for their children, nor do children usually ask permission of their parents to get married. Romantic love is most often the basis for marriage in the United States; young adults meet their future spouses (配偶) through other friends, at jobs, and in organizations and religious institutions. Although children choose their own spouses, they still hope their parents will approve of their choices. In many families, parents feel that children should make major life decisions by themselves. A parent may try to influence a child to follow a particular profession but the child is free to choose another career. Sometimes children do precisely the opposite of what their parents wish in order to assert their independence. A son may deliberately decide not to go into his father’s business because of a fear that he will lose his autonomy in his father’s workplace. This independence from parents is not an indication that parents and children do not love each other. Strong love between parents and children is universal and this is no exception in the American family. Coexisting with such love in the American family are cultural values of self-reliance and independence. 1. The writer discusses the marriage of young adults in order to show that they _____. A. enjoy the freedom of choosing their spouses B. want to win the permission of their parents C. have a strong desire to become independent D. try to challenge the authority of their parents 2. Most young adults in America would get married for the sake of ____. A. love B. financial concern C. their parents D. family background 3. Based on the passage, it can be inferred that _____. A. American young adults are likely to follow the suit of their parents. B. most American parents never make major decisions for their children. C. American young adults possess cultural values of independence. D. when a young adult steps into his twenties, he will leave his home permanently. 4. A son is unwilling to work in his father’s business mainly because he _____. A. wishes to make full use of what he has learnt in school B. wants to prove his independence C. likes to do the opposite of what his parents approve of D. tries to show his love for his parents 5. The subject matter of this passage is _____. A. cultural values in the American family B. marriage arrangements C. young adult’s pursuit of a career D. decision making CACBA Passage2 No country in the world has more daily newspapers than the U.S.A. There are almost 2,000 of them, as compared with 180 in Japan, 144 in Argentina and 111 in Britain. The quality of some American papers is extremely high and their views are quoted all over the world. Distinguished dailies like the Washington Post or the New York Times have a powerful influence all over the country. However the Post and the Times are not national newspapers in the sense that The times is in Britain or Le Monde is in France, since each American city has its own daily newspaper. The best of these present detailed accounts of national and international news, but many tend to limit themselves to state or city news. Like the press in most other countries, American newspapers range from the “sensational”, which feature crime, sex and rumor, to the serious, which focus on factual news and the analysis of world events. But with few exceptions American newspapers try to entertain as well as give information, for they have to compete with television. Just as American newspapers give way to all tastes, so do they also try and apply to readers for all political persuasions. A few newspapers support extremist (过激分子) groups on the far right and on the far left, but most daily newspapers attempt to attract middle-of-the-road Americans who are essentially moderate. Many of these papers prinsale will start and end. An ad should be placed at least two days before the sale and run until the day of your event. That way people can plan their route (路线) to the sale in advance. Signs are another great way to inform your community. Post them in places where people gather, such as stores and community centers. Some businesses have a central bulletin board (布告栏), which is the best place to advertise. Other places to post are at the local college or university campus. This is especially helpful if your sale is happening in August or early September when students have returned to school and are looking for cheap finds. Post signs around your neighborhood. You should also place both ads and direction signs, especially if you.re located on a side street without a major presence. Signs will attract and direct people. Just make sure you print in bold letters and use large direction signs so people can read the information from the front seat of their car. 1. The best way of getting out the news of your garage sale is to ______.

2 [阅读题,10分] Passage 1 Learning the language of a country isn.t enough. If you know the manners of your foreign friends, you will probably be surprised just how different they can be from your own. A visitor to India should remember it is impolite there to use the left hand for passing food at the table. The left hand is for washing yourself. Also in India, you might see a man shaking his head at another to show that he is disagreeing. But in many parts of India a side-to-side movement of the head is to show agreement. In Bulgaria you shake your head to show "yes"—a nod shows "no". In Europe it is quite usual to cross your legs while sitting and talking to someone, even at an important meeting. But doing this could cause offence to a Thailander. Touching the head of a grown-up is also not done in Thailand. Knowing about manners is useful when you are traveling, and you also need to know the language used to express the customs. 1． If you are staying in India, you.d better . A. not use your left hand to pass food at the table. B. use your left hand to pass food at the table. C. not use your left hand to wash yourself. D. use your left hand at all times. 2． To shake your head means “Yes” . A. in India B. in Europe C. in Bulgaria D. in Thailand 3． You can easily make a Thailander angry by .

A. know the language of the country B. know the manners of the country C. know the manners better than the language D. know both the language and the manners 5．We can learn from the passage that . A. different countries have different manners. B. the manners in Thailand are the same as those in India. C. one should be careful not to cross legs in Europe. D. one should not touch a grown-up.s head in India. 答案：1-5 ACBDA Passage 2 College is a place to explore many possibilities; you really can’t do it all-unless you manage your time wisely. Here are some tips I have found very helpful for managing my time and maximizing(使…最大化) my study efforts： 1. Determine your goals. What do you want to get out of a college education? Academic(学术的) knowledge? Leadership experience within a club? Decide what is most important to you. Then devote proportionate(成比例的) amounts of time to those efforts. 2. Plan ahead. You may think you can keep everything in your head, but as the activities on your schedule start piling up, making a schedule can really help organize even little tasks. 3.Study at strategic (关键的) times. Don’t wait until you’re falling asleep to study. Study first. Save those e-mails to check later, because tasks that don’t require much energy and attention can still be done when you’re tired. 4.Motivate (激励) yourself! You know that TV show you’ve been dying to see, or that game of chess you’ve been waiting all week to challenge your friend to. These and many other special activities can be used for motivation. Promise yourself that you’ll force yourself to work efficiently. (Don’t rush through the assignment, though.) 5. Take a nap. Sometimes even a 20-minute nap in the afternoon will give you the extra energy you need to get through the day. 1. We need to play ahead in order to ________. A. keep a record of all the events B. better organize our activities C. store everything in our head D. pile up little tasks neatly 2. Strategic times are best for us to ________. A. save energy B. check e-mails C. study efficiently D. organize activities 3. Which of the following could be used as a motivation to do our assignments? A. Remembering our urgent tasks. B. Any activities we’re eager to do. C. Taking a break in the afternoon. D. The promise to study efficiently. 4. What can help us to keep refreshed throughout the day? A. Doing some physical exercise. B. Taking a short nap in the afternoon. C. Rushing through some assignments. D. Playing a game of chess with a friend. 5. Which of the following could be the best title for this article? A. Study Habits and Time Management B. Business Management and Leadership C. University Education and Campus Life D. Life Goals and Academic Development 答案：BCBBA Passage 3 What is your favorite color? Do you like yellow, orange, and red? If you do, you must be an optimist (乐观者), a leader, and an active person who enjoys life, people and excitement. Do you prefer grays and blues? Then you are probably quiet, shy and you would rather follow than lead. You tend to be a pessimist. At least, this is what psychologists (心理学家) tell us, and they should know, because they have been seriously studying the meaning of color preference, as well as the effect that colors have on human beings. They tell us among other facts, that we do not choose our favorite color as we grow up — we are born with our preference. If you happen to love brown, you did so, as soon as you opened your eyes, or at least as soon as you could see clearly. Color does influence our moods (情绪) ― there is no doubt about it. A yellow room makes most people feel more cheerful and more relaxed than a dark green one; and a red dress brings warmth and cheer to the saddest winter day. On the other hand, black is depressing. A black bridge over the Thames River, near London, used to be the scene of more suicides than any other bridge in the area — until it was repainted green. The number of suicide attempts immediately fell sharply; perhaps it would have fallen even more if the bridge had been done in pink or baby blue. Light and bright colors make people not only happier but also more active. It is an established fact that factory workers work better, harder, and have fewer accidents when their machines are painted orange rather than black or gray. 1. The author regards the psychologists’ findings as _____. A. groundless B. doubtful C. reasonable D. unusual 2. According to the psychologists, a person’s color preference _____. A. is formed as he grows up B. is acquired through experience C. is decided by his surroundings D. is possessed from birth 3. It can be concluded from the passage that bright color lovers tend to be _____. A. quiet B. active C. depressive D. pessimistic 4. The example of the bridge is used to illustrate that _____. A. people tend to kill themselves by jumping from bridges B. color can affect people’s moods to a great degree C. the bridge should have been repainted earlier D. certain color can kill people sometimes 5. The notion that machines painted orange can reduce the risk of accidents ______. A. is a well-accepted fact B. remains to be proved C. is an illusion of workers D. is a good wish of scientists 答案：CDBBA
Passage 1 The long summer holidays are finally over and some parents are pleased. “We worry more about their safety in the holidays,” explains one mother from North London. If teenagers are not wandering around on public transport in a big and potentially dangerous city, they are chatting to strangers in an internet chat room! Well, that’s an extreme picture of the UK today, but many parents are worried about how much freedom they can give their children during the holidays and at weekends. Weekends are not the only time to worry! Newspaper are full of stories about too many school kids going to school by car because their parents do not want them to travel alone on a bus or train. This summer there were more frightening stories of teenagers disappearing with questionable friends that they met on the net. All the Media stories help increase parents fears, but is the UK really so dangerous? Many young people feel that life for their parents was easier. In the 1960s young people played in the streets more and traveled around town without their parents. “At least our parents can keep tabs on us,” says 16-year-old Julia. “So many people have mobile phones now and their parents ring to find out where they are. I use my mobile to get Dad to come to the station when I arrive late.” Mobiles are not just expensive toys; they help keep young people safe. Most significantly, they help keep young people safe. Most significantly, they make parents feel better. Only one problem is, though, that some young people have been attacked by thieves who want to steal their mobile phones. Young people like going out with friends, but they now need to learn how to get home safely. Five million young people in the UK between the ages of 9 to 16 use chat rooms to make friends, but they, too, need to be careful and never give their personal details to a stranger. Young people today have more opportunities to meet new people and go out at night more than their parents ever did. Now school, television programs and newspapers must help teenagers to enjoy their freedom and to be responsible for their own safety. 6. Some parents are upset about the summer holidays mainly because their children ______. A. wander around on bus in the city B. chat to strangers in Internet chat rooms C. make questionable friends on the net D. are taken little care of by teachers 7. For the sake of the safety, many parents send their kids to school ________. A. by car B. by bus C. by train D. by public transport 8. Most significantly, mobile phones _______. A. enable parents keep a close watch on their kids B. help keep teenagers safe C. make parents feel less worried D. protect teenagers from being attacked 9. Teenagers should never give any strangers ______. A. their mobile phone numbers B. their family address C. their personal information D. their parents’ names 10. This passage is mainly about ________. A. freedom for teenagers in summer holidays B. safety for teenagers in summer holidays C. activities for teenagers in summer holidays D. troubles for teenagers in summer holidays DACCB Passage 2 I began teaching at the James School twenty-two years ago when I was twenty -six. In those days the place was very different. But time changes, and of course education theory changes, too. Methods and materials change. Even the classroom looks different. Twenty years ago, our classroom was a lot less pleasant. Very old-fashioned. We had fewer window, for example. There were five rows of desks, six desks in a row. Since everything was nailed to the floor, a student sat in the same place all day long. Oh, we had to be very strict. Now students move all over the room. They go to different areas for different subjects, and they write at these movable desks. The students are more mobile, and because they’re more mobile, they’re less restless, and because they’re less restless, they are more attentive. At least that’s the theory. And as a matter of fact, we really don’t have many behavior problems here. We use a modified open classroom system here at the James. I’ll try to explain what that means. Each student makes a work contract with his teacher. Basically, he agrees to a certain amount of work on a certain project. He hands the work in when he gets it done. He works at his own speed and plans his own time. If he is particularly motivated in one subject—math, for instance—he can explore the subject more thoroughly than the others. But he must also complete his contract in arts or reading or social science. Freedom within a structured system: that’s what we are trying to offer. 1. Now, the author of this passage must be in his . A. 20’s B. 30’s C. 40’s D. 50’s 2. Now we really do not have many behavior problems in the classroom because . A. the students are more mobile and attentive B. the teachers are more strict C. the teachers are less strict D. the students are less attentive and restless 3. The main idea of the third paragraph is about . A. the characteristic of the modified open classroom system B. the characteristic of the work contract C. the freedom of the students D. the generosity of the teachers 4. In a modified open classroom system, . A. the student needn’t do any home work B. the student can get more freedom in their study C. the subject that the student should learn is decided by the teacher D. there is not any discipline that the student should obey 5. According to the author, the educational system today is . A. more strict and attentive B. more pleasant and efficient C. is similar to the educational system twenty years age D. is satisfied by every teacher and student CAABB Passage3 A few years ago I was shopping with a friend and his 12-year-old daughter in downtown San Francisco.

9 [翻译题,10分] China’s economy is developing very quickly, and has brought with it a culture of consumption more prevalent (流行) with each passing day. At the same time, it has brought into being an educated group of young people who enjoy capitalist consumption way（资本主义消费模式）. They’re used to spending money as soon as they get it every month, and so are called “the moon-light group”. This word came into being during the 1990s, to make fun of those born into wealth, who have received a high education, and who appreciate fast food culture
8 [翻译题,10分] In the past seven years, China’s real estate（房地产）industry has developed in a record high speed. For those who earn less but are eager to own a decent and comfortable place of their own in a big city, the high housing price is a heavy burden that they cannot afford. For this reason, the government has taken a series of measures to prevent the housing price from rising too fast, including raising interest rates（利率）and increasing taxes on real estate（房产税）etc. Presently, these measures have achieved initial effects in some cities

6 [翻译题,10分] The Great Wall is one of the wonders of the world that created by human beings! If you come to China without climbing the Great Wall, it.s just like going Paris without visiting the Eiffel Tower（埃菲尔铁塔）; or going to Egypt without visiting the Pyramids（金字塔）. Men often say, “He who does not reach the Great Wall is not a true man.”In fact, it began as independent walls for different states when it was first built, and did not become the “Great Wall” until the Qin Dynasty. However, the wall we see today, starting from Shanhaiguan Pass in the east to Jiayunguan Pass in the west, was mostly built during the Ming Dynasty.
Passage 1 As little children, most of us were taught the virtue (美德) of honesty from fairy tales and other stories. The story of Pinocchio, who begins life as a puppet (木偶), teaches us the importance of telling the truth. In the story of young George Washington, who lies about cutting down the cherry tree, we learn that he earns his father’s praise only when he admits what he has done. Even though we know that “honesty is the best policy,” why do we often lie in our everyday life? The fact is that we lie for many reasons. We sometimes lie to minimize (将……最小化) our errors and mistakes. For example, some students might lie to their teachers about unfinished homework. They might say that they left the work at home when, in fact, they didn’t even do the work. These students don’t want to be irresponsible (无责任感的), so they make up a lie to save face. Another reason we lie is to get out of situations we don’t want to be in. If we just don’t want to attend the dorm meeting early on Saturday morning, we might give the excuse: “I’ve been fighting off a cold all week, and I need to sleep on Saturday morning.” We lie because we believe that telling the truth will cause problems. When we don’t know how to say no, we often use lies to avoid difficulties. However, lies are not always negative (消极的); in fact two kinds of lies can yield positive (积极的) results. The first is commonly referred to as a “white lie.” We tell white lies when we don’t want to hurt other people’s feelings. For example, if a good friend shows up with an unflattering (难看的) haircut, we could be truthful and say, “That haircut is awful. It doesn’t suit you at all!” Instead, we are more likely to lie and say, “I like your haircut. It looks good on you,” and spare our friend’s feelings. The second kind of positive lie is the “protective lie.” This one can help us get out of or avoid dangerous situations. Parents often teach their children to use this kind of lie. For example, parents tell their children not to say that they are home alone if they receive phone calls from strangers. In this situation, lying can prevent harm or disaster. People lie for many reasons, both good and bad. However, before we resort to (采用) lying to cover up mistakes or to avoid unpleasant situations, perhaps we should rethink our motives (动机) for lying. 1. What is mainly discussed in this passage? A. The importance of telling the truth. B. Positive and negative results produced by lies. C. The reasons or motives for telling lies. D. How to stop telling lies. 2. Which of the following is a “white lie” according to the passage? A. A lie told by a student to his teacher about unfinished homework. B. A lie told by someone who wants to avoid hurting others. C. A lie told by child to avoid an unfavorable situation. D. A lie told by a boy who cried wolf. 3. Why do some students lie to their teachers about their unfinished homework? A. Because they want to minimize their mistakes. B. Because they have no idea about the virtue of honesty. C. Because they have left their homework at home. D. Because they don’t have a sense of responsibility. 4. Which of the following can be regarded as an “unflattering haircut”? A. A haircut that is pleasant to the eye. B. A haircut that suits somebody well. C. A haircut that does not look good on someone. D. A haircut that is fashionable and popular. 5. Which of the following statements is NOT true according to the passage? A. People tell lies in order to maintain their relationship. B. Telling the truth may cause problems on some occasions. C. “Protective lies” can help us get out of dangerous situations. D. Lies do not always produce negative results. CBACA Passage 2 Psychological research has focused on a number of basic principles that help memory: meaningfulness, organization, association, and visualization. It is useful to know how there principles work. Meaningfulness affects memory at all levels. Information that does not make any sense to you is difficult to remember. There are several ways in which we can make material more meaningful. Many people, for instance, learn a rhyme to help them remember. Do you know the rhyme "Thirty days has September, April, June, and November..."? It helps many people remember which months of the year have 30 days. Organization also makes
4 [阅读题,10分] Passage1 Youth is not a matter of time but a matter of self-improvement, both physically and morally. Being a good youth, one should have those factors: the basic one is health. A healthy body is a kind of priceless treasure. One can do nothing without it. Secondly, we should pay essential attention to our moral character. We should be always willing to help those in trouble without any complaints. Moreover, we should care more about the people around us. Thirdly, cooperation and communication also play an important role in being a good youth. No one can live alone without any friends. And nobody can work out every problem without help of partners. So the youth should and must learn how to live and work well with others, including those people you don.t like to cooperate or communicate with. The last but not the least, patriotism, meaning a love of one.s country, is the one we should never forget. People always misunderstand the word “patriots” by thinking it only refers to those fighters who fight for their country. As a matter of fact, a patriot will do the things his country asks him to do. So being a youth is one thing, being a good one really needs to take every effort to make yourself to be. 1. The passage really wants to tell us that ________. A) what the meaning of “patriots” is B) the qualities a good youth should have C) a youth should be doing good D) one should help others 2. The first thing a good youth should have is A) the best looking B)the best riches C) the good ability D)a healthy body 3. A good youth should help others A) willingly B) at his convenience C) if he wants to D) with complains 4. From the passage, we can know that cooperation and communication are A) good for some introverts B) helpful to us C) important to everyone D) not necessary to good friends 5. In the author.s opinion, the patriots must A) fight for the country B) learn everything C) do what their country need them to do D)protect their family and country BDACC Passage 2 Normally a student must attend a certain number of courses in order to graduate, and each course which he attends gives him a credit which he may count towards a degree. In many American universities the total work for a degree consists of thirty-six courses each lasting for one semester. A typical course consists of three classes per week for fifteen weeks; while attending a university a student will probably attend four or five courses during each semester. Normally a student would expect to take four years attending two semesters each year. It is possible to spread the period of work for the degree over a longer period. It is also possible for a student to move between one university and another during his degree course, though this is not in fact done as a regular practice. For every course that he follows a student is given a grade, which is recorded, and the record is available for the student to show to prospective employers. All this imposes a constant pressure and strain of work, but in spite of this some students still find time for great activity in student affairs. Elections to positions in student organizations arouse much enthusiasm. The effective work of maintaining discipline is usually performed by students who advise the academic authorities. Any student who is thought to have broken the rules, for example, by cheating has to appear before a student court. With the enormous numbers of students, the operation of the system does involve a certain amount of activity. A student who has held one of these positions of authority is much respected and it will be of benefit to him later in his career. 1. Normally a student would at least attend __________classes each week. A) 36 B) 12 C) 20 D) 15 2. According to the first paragraph an American student is allowed _______. A) to live in a different university B) to take a particular course in a different university C) to live at home and drive to classes D) to get two degrees from two different universities 3. American university students are usually under pressure of work because_________. A) their academic performance will affect their future careers B) they are heavily involved in student affairs C) they have to observe university discipline D) they want to run for positions of authority 4.Some students are enthusiastic for positions in student organizations probably because_________. A) they hate the constant pressure and strain of their study B) they will then be able to stay longer in the university C) such positions help them get better jobs D) such positions are usually well paid 5. The student organizations seem to be effective in _________. A) dealing with the academic affairs of the university B) ensuring that the students observe university regulations C) evaluating students’ performance by bringing them before a court D) keeping up the students’ enthusiasm for social activities BADCD Passage 3 What are the beauties of Hawaii? Let’s start with four. The beach, famous for its water temperature, air temperature and waves, is the first beauty. There are hundreds of miles of beaches on the twenty islands of Hawaii. They are thought to be among the finest beaches in the world. Then, what do you think would be the second beautiful thing? It is volcanoes (火山), of course. These volcanoes are not just a part of the islands; they made the islands in the first place. Because of them the islands are still growing. What would be the third thing of beauty that the first visitor to Hawaii would notice? It probably wouldn’t be just one thing, but many things: all the wonderful fruits and flowers of the islands. Sugar cane, bananas and pineapples are Hawaii’s biggest exports. Sugar cane has been growing in Hawaii for a thousand years. As for pineapples, the islands produce more than any other places in the world, which has made Dole Company the biggest fruit-packing company in the world. The fourth and most beautiful thing about Hawaii is the people who live there. The Hawaiians never rush, and perhaps this is because they care more for human life than they care for the machine. There is an old Hawaiian law that a man can go to sleep in the middle of the road if he wants to. What makes the people of Hawaii so beautiful is their feeling about people. There are 64 different combinations of races on the islands, and they all live in peace. They believe “Above all nations is humanity.” That is the most beautiful thing of all. 26. According to the passage, Hawaii is made up of __. A. one island B. twenty islands C. sixty-four islands D. hundreds of islands 27. Why are the volcanoes so special to the islands? A.

3 [阅读题,10分] Passage 1 Upon reaching an appropriate age (usually between 18 and 21 years), children are encouraged, but not forced, to “leave the nest” and begin an independent life. After children leave home they often find social relationship and financial support outside the family. Parents do not arrange marriages for their children, nor do children usually ask permission of their parents to get married. Romantic love is most often the basis for marriage in the United States; young adults meet their future spouses (配偶) through other friends, at jobs, and in organizations and religious institutions. Although children choose their own spouses, they still hope their parents will approve of their choices. In many families, parents feel that children should make major life decisions by themselves. A parent may try to influence a child to follow a particular profession but the child is free to choose another career. Sometimes children do precisely the opposite of what their parents wish in order to assert their independence. A son may deliberately decide not to go into his father’s business because of a fear that he will lose his autonomy in his father’s workplace. This independence from parents is not an indication that parents and children do not love each other. Strong love between parents and children is universal and this is no exception in the American family. Coexisting with such love in the American family are cultural values of self-reliance and independence. 1. The writer discusses the marriage of young adults in order to show that they _____. A. enjoy the freedom of choosing their spouses B. want to win the permission of their parents C. have a strong desire to become independent D. try to challenge the authority of their parents 2. Most young adults in America would get married for the sake of ____. A. love B. financial concern C. their parents D. family background 3. Based on the passage, it can be inferred that _____. A. American young adults are likely to follow the suit of their parents. B. most American parents never make major decisions for their children. C. American young adults possess cultural values of independence. D. when a young adult steps into his twenties, he will leave his home permanently. 4. A son is unwilling to work in his father’s business mainly because he _____. A. wishes to make full use of what he has learnt in school B. wants to prove his independence C. likes to do the opposite of what his parents approve of D. tries to show his love for his parents 5. The subject matter of this passage is _____. A. cultural values in the American family B. marriage arrangements C. young adult’s pursuit of a career D. decision making CACBA Passage2 No country in the world has more daily newspapers than the U.S.A. There are almost 2,000 of them, as compared with 180 in Japan, 144 in Argentina and 111 in Britain. The quality of some American papers is extremely high and their views are quoted all over the world. Distinguished dailies like the Washington Post or the New York Times have a powerful influence all over the country. However the Post and the Times are not national newspapers in the sense that The times is in Britain or Le Monde is in France, since each American city has its own daily newspaper. The best of these present detailed accounts of national and international news, but many tend to limit themselves to state or city news. Like the press in most other countries, American newspapers range from the “sensational”, which feature crime, sex and rumor, to the serious, which focus on factual news and the analysis of world events. But with few exceptions American newspapers try to entertain as well as give information, for they have to compete with television. Just as American newspapers give way to all tastes, so do they also try and apply to readers for all political persuasions. A few newspapers support extremist (过激分子) groups on the far right and on the far left, but most daily newspapers attempt to attract middle-of-the-road Americans who are essentially moderate. Many of these papers prinsale will start and end. An ad should be placed at least two days before the sale and run until the day of your event. That way people can plan their route (路线) to the sale in advance. Signs are another great way to inform your community. Post them in places where people gather, such as stores and community centers. Some businesses have a central bulletin board (布告栏), which is the best place to advertise. Other places to post are at the local college or university campus. This is especially helpful if your sale is happening in August or early September when students have returned to school and are looking for cheap finds. Post signs around your neighborhood. You should also place both ads and direction signs, especially if you.re located on a side street without a major presence. Signs will attract and direct people. Just make sure you print in bold letters and use large direction signs so people can read the information from the front seat of their car. 1. The best way of getting out the news of your garage sale is to ______. A. publish the news online B. visit people door-to-door C. advertise in the local newspaper D. make phone calls to your neighbors 2.

2 [阅读题,10分] Passage 1 Learning the language of a country isn.t enough. If you know the manners of your foreign friends, you will probably be surprised just how different they can be from your own. A visitor to India should remember it is impolite there to use the left hand for passing food at the table. The left hand is for washing yourself. Also in India, you might see a man shaking his head at another to show that he is disagreeing. But in many parts of India a side-to-side movement of the head is to show agreement. In Bulgaria you shake your head to show "yes"—a nod shows "no". In Europe it is quite usual to cross your legs while sitting and talking to someone, even at an important meeting. But doing this could cause offence to a Thailander. Touching the head of a grown-up is also not done in Thailand. Knowing about manners is useful when you are traveling, and you also need to know the language used to express the customs. 1． If you are staying in India, you.d better . A. not use your left hand to pass food at the table. B. use your left hand to pass food at the table. C. not use your left hand to wash yourself. D. use your left hand at all times. 2． To shake your head means “Yes” . A. in India B. in Europe C. in Bulgaria D. in Thailand 3． You can easily make a Thailander angry by . A. touching his head B. crossing your legs while talking to him C. shaking your head D. nodding your head 4．The writer thinks that to know about a country well one must . A. know the language of the country B. know the manners of the country C. know the manners better than the language D. know both the language and the manners 5．We can learn from the passage that . A. different countries have different manners. B. the manners in Thailand are the same as those in India. C. one should be careful not to cross legs in Europe. D. one should not touch a grown-up.s head in India. 答案：1-5 ACBDA Passage 2 College is a place to explore many possibilities; you really can’t do it all-unless you manage your time wisely. Here are some tips I have found very helpful for managing my time and maximizing(使…最大化) my study efforts： 1. Determine your goals. What do you want to get out of a college education? Academic(学术的) knowledge? Leadership experience within a club? Decide what is most important to you. Then devote proportionate(成比例的) amounts of time to those efforts. 2. Plan ahead. You may think you can keep everything in your head, but as the activities on your schedule start piling up, making a schedule can really help organize even little tasks. 3.Study at strategic (关键的) times. Don’t wait until you’re falling asleep to study. Study first. Save those e-mails to check later, because tasks that don’t require much energy and attention can still be done when you’re tired. 4.Motivate (激励) yourself! You know that TV show you’ve been dying to see, or that game of chess you’ve been waiting all week to challenge your friend to. These and many other special activities can be used for motivation. Promise yourself that you’ll force yourself to work efficiently. (Don’t rush through the assignment, though.) 5. Take a nap. Sometimes even a 20-minute nap in the afternoon will give you the extra energy you need to get through the day. 1. We need to play ahead in order to ________. A. keep a record of all the events B. better organize our activities C. store everything in our head D. pile up little tasks neatly 2. Strategic times are best for us to ________. A. save energy B. check e-mails C. study efficiently D. organize activities 3. Which of the following could be used as a motivation to do our assignments? A. Remembering our urgent tasks. B. Any activities we’re eager to do. C. Taking a break in the afternoon. D. The promise to study efficiently. 4. What can help us to keep refreshed throughout the day? A. Doing some physical exercise. B. Taking a short nap in the afternoon. C. Rushing through some assignments. D. Playing a game of chess with a friend. 5. Which of the following could be the best title for this article? A. Study Habits and Time Management B. Business Management and Leadership C. University Education and Campus Life D. Life Goals and Academic Development 答案：BCBBA Passage 3 What is your favorite color? Do you like yellow, orange, and red? If you do, you must be an optimist (乐观者), a leader, and an active person who enjoys life, people and excitement. Do you prefer grays and blues? Then you are probably quiet, shy and you would rather follow than lead. You tend to be a pessimist. At least, this is what psychologists (心理学家) tell us, and they should know, because they have been seriously studying the meaning of color preference, as well as the effect that colors have on human beings. They tell us among other facts, that we do not choose our favorite color as we grow up — we are born with our preference. If you happen to love brown, you did so, as soon as you opened your eyes, or at least as soon as you could see clearly. Color does influence our moods (情绪) ― there is no doubt about it. A yellow room makes most people feel more cheerful and more relaxed than a dark green one; and a red dress brings warmth and cheer to the saddest winter day. On the other hand, black is depressing. A black bridge over the Thames River, near London, used to be the scene of more suicides than any other bridge in the area — until it was repainted green. The number of suicide attempts immediately fell sharply; perhaps it would have fallen even more if the bridge had been done in pink or baby blue. Light and bright colors make people not only happier but also more active. It is an established fact that factory workers work better, harder, and have fewer accidents when their machines are painted orange rather than black or gray. 1. The author regards the psychologists’ findings as _____. A. groundless B. doubtful C. reasonable D. unusual 2. According to the psychologists, a person’s color preference _____. A. is formed as he grows up B. is acquired through experience C. is decided by his surroundings D. is possessed from birth 3. It can be concluded from the passage that bright color lovers tend to be _____. A. quiet B. active C. depressive D. pessimistic 4. The example of the bridge is used to illustrate that _____. A. people tend to kill themselves by jumping from bridges B. color can affect people’s moods to a great degree C. the bridge should have been repainted earlier D. certain color can kill people sometimes 5. The notion that machines painted orange can reduce the risk of accidents ______. A. is a well-accepted fact B. remains to be proved C. is an illusion of workers D. is a good wish of scientists 答案：CDBBA
Passage 1 The long summer holidays are finally over and some parents are pleased. “We worry more about their safety in the holidays,” explains one mother from North London. If teenagers are not wandering around on public transport in a big and potentially dangerous city, they are chatting to strangers in an internet chat room! Well, that’s an extreme picture of the UK today, but many parents are worried about how much freedom they can give their children during the holidays and at weekends. Weekends are not the only time to worry! Newspaper are full of stories about too many school kids going to school by car because their parents do not want them to travel alone on a bus or train. This summer there were more frightening stories of teenagers disappearing with questionable friends that they met on the net. All the Media stories help increase parents fears, but is the UK really so dangerous? Many young people feel that life for their parents was easier. In the 1960s young people played in the streets more and traveled around town without their parents. “At least our parents can keep tabs on us,” says 16-year-old Julia. “So many people have mobile phones now and their parents ring to find out where they are. I use my mobile to get Dad to come to the station when I arrive late.” Mobiles are not just expensive toys; they help keep young people safe. Most significantly, they help keep young people safe. Most significantly, they make parents feel better. Only one problem is, though, that some young people have been attacked by thieves who want to steal their mobile phones. Young people like going out with friends, but they now need to learn how to get home safely. Five million young people in the UK between the ages of 9 to 16 use chat rooms to make friends, but they, too, need to be careful and never give their personal details to a stranger. Young people today have more opportunities to meet new people and go out at night more than their parents ever did. Now school, television programs and newspapers must help teenagers to enjoy their freedom and to be responsible for their own safety. 6. Some parents are upset about the summer holidays mainly because their children ______. A. wander around on bus in the city B. chat to strangers in Internet chat rooms C. make questionable friends on the net D. are taken little care of by teachers 7. For the sake of the safety, many parents send their kids to school ________. A. by car B. by bus C. by train D. by public transport 8. Most significantly, mobile phones _______. A. enable parents keep a close watch on their kids B. help keep teenagers safe C. make parents feel less worried D. protect teenagers from being attacked 9. Teenagers should never give any strangers ______. A. their mobile phone numbers B. their family address C. their personal information D. their parents’ names 10. This passage is mainly about ________. A. freedom for teenagers in summer holidays B. safety for teenagers in summer holidays C. activities for teenagers in summer holidays D. troubles for teenagers in summer holidays DACCB Passage 2 I began teaching at the James School twenty-two years ago when I was twenty -six. In those days the place was very different. But time changes, and of course education theory changes, too. Methods and materials change. Even the classroom looks different. Twenty years ago, our classroom was a lot less pleasant. Very old-fashioned. We had fewer window, for example. There were five rows of desks, six desks in a row. Since everything was nailed to the floor, a student sat in the same place all day long. Oh, we had to be very strict. Now students move all over the room. They go to different areas for different subjects, and they write at these movable desks. The students are more mobile, and because they’re more mobile, they’re less restless, and because they’re less restless, they are more attentive. At least that’s the theory. And as a matter of fact, we really don’t have many behavior problems here. We use a modified open classroom system here at the James. I’ll try to explain what that means. Each student makes a work contract with his teacher. Basically, he agrees to a certain amount of work on a certain project. He hands the work in when he gets it done. He works at his own speed and plans his own time. If he is particularly motivated in one subject—math, for instance—he can explore the subject more thoroughly than the others. But he must also complete his contract in arts or reading or social science. Freedom within a structured system: that’s what we are trying to offer. 1. Now, the author of this passage must be in his . A. 20’s B. 30’s C. 40’s D. 50’s 2. Now we really do not have many behavior problems in the classroom because . A. the students are more mobile and attentive B. the teachers are more strict C. the teachers are less strict D. the students are less attentive and restless 3. The main idea of the third paragraph is about . A. the characteristic of the modified open classroom system B. the characteristic of the work contract C. the freedom of the students D. the generosity of the teachers 4. In a modified open classroom system, . A. the student needn’t do any home work B. the student can get more freedom in their study C. the subject that the student should learn is decided by the teacher D. there is not any discipline that the student should obey 5. According to the author, the educational system today is . A. more strict and attentive B. more pleasant and efficient C. is similar to the educational system twenty years age D. is satisfied by every teacher and student CAABB Passage3 A few years ago I was shopping with a friend and his 12-year-old daughter in downtown San Francisco. A street musician, whom my friend happened to know from his own musician days, was playing the saxophone(萨克斯管) on a street corner.

"Struck … as appropriate" in Line 1, Paragraph 2 most probably means ______. A. seemed to be appropriate B. proved to be appropriate C. happened to be appropriate D. found to be appropriate 29.
