Passage 1

While traveling abroad,Mr.Jackson Frank ran short of money.

In the fourth week Mr.Frank was arrested for failing to pay his hotel bill.His passport was taken from him.He tried to explain the problem,but no one believed him.He was sent to prison for six days. When he came out,he went immediately to the Fisher bank.The clerk he spoke to was a new man. “Have you received $500 for me?”he ask,“My name is Jackson Frank.”The clerk checked his books.“Yes,Jackson,it’s here.It came by telegram.—let me see—oh,more than two months ago.We wondered where you were.”He showed Mr.Frank the order. The order read:“Pay Mr.Frank Jackson the sum of $500...”“But my name is Jackson Frank,not Frank Jackson.” “Oh,that’s all right,sir.It was in our books under the letter‘J’,but it’s your money.”The clerk laughed,“A human mistake,sir!We’re all human beings,aren’t we?And so we all make mistakes.A family name like Frank sounds strange to me.” Mr Frank was silent.He really wanted to hit somebody.At last he said,“A human mistake——is that what you call it?I think some humans need kicking.”

Passage 2

To most Africans,tribalism simply means very strong loyalty to one’s ethnic group.It is a force that can be both good and bad.By definition tribalism means sharing among members of the extended family.It makes sure that a person is taken care of by his own group.To give a job to a fellow tribesman is not wrong;it is an obligation.Similarly,for a politician or military leader it is considered good common sense to choose his closest adviser from people of his own tribe.This ensures security,continuity, authority.Tribal loyalty may mean a quick promotion—from sergeant to captain,from clerk to manager—within a very short time.

Modern African politicians publicly speak out against tribal divisions.Yet it remains perhaps the most powerful force in day-to-day African life.As evidence of tribalism,in 1977 in Kenya,president Jomo Kenyatta’s tribe controlled business and politics.Eight of the 21 cabinet posts,including the most important four were filled by Kikuyus.In Uganda in the same year,the president’s small Kakwa tribe filled almost all the highest government and military positions!In Agola,Ethiopia,and Nigeria,the fighting in the past ten years can be partly explained by disagreements among tribes.

40.What is the definition of tribalism?

A.Sharing among members of the extended family.

B.Giving a job to a fellow tribesman.

C.A force that can be both good and bad.

D.People have the same religious belief.

A.“a force that can be both good and bad”

B.“very strong loyalty to one’s ethnic group”

C.“tribal loyalty may mean a quick promotion”

42.In paragraph 2,“the most important four”refers to ____.

https://www.docsj.com/doc/031819527.html,itary position

B.business

C.cabinet posts

D.Kikuyus

B.A person is usually taken care of by his own tribe.

C.Africans consider it an obligation to give a job to a fellow tribesman.

D.Tribalism is still a powerful force in day-to-day African life.

Passage3

When a new movement in Art attains a certain vogue,it is advisable to find out what its advocates are aiming at,for,however far-fetched and unreasonable their contents may seem today,it is possible that in years to come they may be regarded as normal.With regard to Futurist poetry,however,the case is rather difficult,for whatever Futurist poetry may be—even admitting that the theory on which it is based may be right—it can hardly be classed as Literature.

This,in brief,is what the Futurist says for a century,past conditions of life have been continually speeding up,till now we live in a world of noise and violence and speed.Consequently,our feelings,thoughts and emotions have undergone a corresponding change.This speeding up of life,says the Futurist,requires a new form of expressions.We must speed up our literature too,if we want to interpret modern stress.We must pour out a cataract of essential words,unhampered by stops,or qualifying adjectives,or finite verbs.Instead of describing sounds we must make up words that imitate them;we must use many sizes of type and different colored inks on the same page,and shorten or lengthen words at will.

Certainly their descriptions of battles are vividly chaotic.But it is a little disconcerting to read in the explanatory notes that a certain line describes a fight between a Turkish and a Bulgarian officer on a bridge off which they both fall into the river——and then to find that the line consists of the noise of their falling are the weights of the officers.“Pluff!Pulff!A hundred and eighty five kilograms.”This,though it fulfills the laws and requirements of Futurist poetry can hardly be classed as Literature.All the same,no thinking man can refuse to accept their first proposition

that a great change in our emotional life calls for a change of expression.The whole question is really this:how we essentially changed?

45.The main idea of this selections is best expressed as ____.

A.The Past versus the future

B.Changes in modern Life

C.Merits of the Futurist movement

D.An evaluation of Futurist poetry

46.When novel ideas appear,it is desirable,according to the writer,to ____.

A.discover the aims of their adherents

B.ignore them

C.follow the fashion

D.regard them as normal

47.The Futurists claim that we must ____.

A.increase the production of literature

B.look to the future

C.develop new literary forms

D.avoid unusual words

48.The writer believes that Futurist poetry is ____.

A.too emotional

B.too new in type to be acceptable

C.not literature as he knows it

D.essential to basic change in the nature mankind

49.The futurist poet uses all the following devices EXCEPT____.

A.imitative words

B.qualifying adjectives

C.different colored inks

D.a stream of essential words

Section B Skimming and Scanning (占总分的10%)

Directions:In this section there are four passages with a total of four multiple choice questions. Skim or scan them as required and then mark your answer on your answer sheet.

Passage one

First read the following question.

50.The author’s intention is to ____ .

A. tell how to decorate the house

B. stress the importance of a well-furnished home

C. define the “home”

D. advertise for a furniture company

Now read the passage below quickly and mark your answer on your ANSWER SHEET.

WELCOME HOME

A home is created from a great many different elements. By you. For you. You make your decisions based on what you need and what you like, in other words, what inspires you. At IKEA, we try to inspire everyone to create a beautiful home. The idea is that you can come into any one of our stores, and stroll through our room settings and specialty shops.

Hopefully, the thousands of home furnishings and accessories you see there will give you some ideas. And in the end, you’ll find something you can not only afford to bring home. But, more importantly, want to bring home.

Passage two

First read the following question.

51.What is the writer’s main message in the passage?

A. Unemployment brings downward changes in people’s lives.

B. One should try to make the best of unemployment.

C. Many people have no problems with unemployment.

D. Unemployment results in negative psychological effects.

Now read the passage below quickly and mark your answer on your ANSWER SHEET.

As more and more people lose their jobs, now is perhaps the time to consider the experience of unemployment. What are the first feelings? Well, losing a job, or not being able to find one, almost always brings unwelcome changes. If you’ve lost a job, the first feeling is often one of shock. As well as the loss of income, many people find the whole routine of their life is shattered, their contact with other people reduced, their ambitions halted and their identity as a worker removed.

At first there may be good feelings too—a new and better job is just around the corner—it’s nice to be able to lie in bed in the morning or spend more time with the children; have more time to think. But, unless a better job does turn up, the chances are the days start getting longer and time becomes harder to fill. Many people pass through periods of difficulty in sleeping and eating. They feel irritable and depressed, often isolated and lonely.

Despite all these problems though, unemployment can be a chance for a fresh start. You can discover that it provides an opportunity to sort out or rethink what you want from life and how best you can get it. You can use the time to plan how to find a new job, learn a new skill, develop your hobbies or see if you can run your own business.

Passage three

First read the following question.

52.Which is NOT true according to the passage?

A. Generation gap is a result of different attitudes.

B. People become far more conservative as they grow older.

C. Attitudes formed in the early twenties do not change easily.

D.Attitudes of the younger generation are different from those of their elders.

Now read the passage below quickly and mark your answer on your ANSWER SHEET.

The gap in attitudes between the older and younger generations is well known. But why does the gap exist? Is it, as some believe, because people become more conservative as they age?

Or is it simply that today’s younger generation has adopted attitudes that differ from those of their elders? One researcher found that people’s ideas do change somewhat as they grow older, but they don’t change much. Attitudes formed in the late teens and early twenties are pretty stable. Thus the generation gap seems to result from each generation’s entering adulthood with different attitudes.

Passage four

First read the following question.

53.The author states that no modern newspaper ____ .

A. is free of propaganda

B. is controlled by big business interests

C. separates fact and opinion

D. operates according to a code of ethics

Now read the passage below quickly and mark your answer on your ANSWER SHEET.

Daily newspaper has an editorial page. Here opinion is expressed on events and personalities in the news. But editorial judgement is so persuasively presented that many people accept these opinions as facts. Good journalists uphold a code of ethics which distinguishes between news and editorial opinion. This code holds that in an editorial column the publisher is entitled to advocate any cause he chooses. It is understood that there he is speaking as a partisan and may express any view he desires.

Because a modern newspaper is so expensive to produce and so costly to establish, newspapers have increasingly become big business organizations. Although there are exceptions, these large newspapers tend to reflect the views of their owners in their editorials on economic and political matters.

In the news columns, however, the complete and unbiased facts should be reported. The better metropolitan newspapers and the great press associations usually can be relied on to keep their news impartial. But the less ethical publications often deliberately “color”the news to favor or oppose certain group or movements.

Section B Short Answer Questions (占总分的5%)

Directions: In this part there is a short passage with five questions or incomplete statements. Read the passage carefully. Then answer the questions or complete the statements in the fewest possible words (not exceeding 10 words).

Our world is filled with sounds we never hear. The human auditory(听觉的) range is limited to begin with: if we could hear sounds lower than 20 vibrations per second, we would be driven mad by the rumblings and creakings of our muscles, intestines and heartbeats; every step we take would sound like an explosion. But even with our auditory range we select, focus, pay attention to a few sounds and blot out the rest. We are so assaulted(困扰) by sound that we continually “turn off”. But in

the process we shut out the glorious symphony(交响乐) of sound in which the living world is bathed.

The sound tormented city dweller who habitually “turns off his audio”loses a dimension of social reality. Some people, for example, possess the ability to enter a crowded room and from the sounds encountered know immediately the mood, pace and direction of the group assembled. Everything becomes more real when heard as well as seen. It is, in fact, quite hard really to know a person by sight alone, without hearing his voice. And it is not just the sound of the voice that informs.

Even the rhythm of footsteps reveals age and variations of mood—delight, depression, anger, joy.

Hearing can also soothe and comfort. The snapping of logs in the fireplace, the gossipy whisper of a broom, the inquisitive wheeze of a drawer opening—all are savored sounds that make us feel at home. In a well loved home, every chair produced a different, recognizable creak, every window a different click, groan or squeak. The kitchen by itself is a source of many pleasing sounds. Every place, every event has a sound dimension.

The sense of hearing can perhaps be restored to modern man if he better understands its worth and how it works. Most people would be surprised to discover how far the sense can be pushed by cultivation. At a friend’s house recently, my wife opened her purse and some coins spilled out, one after another, onto the floor. “Three quarters, two dimes, a nickels and three pennies,”said our host as he came in from the next room. And as an after thought: “One of the quarters is silver.”He was right, down to the last penny “How did you do it?”we asked. “Try it yourself.”he said.

We did, and with a little practice we found it easy.

Curiously, evidence indicates that people need sound. When we are lost in thought, we involuntarily drum with our fingers or tap with a pencil—a reminder that we are still surrounded by a world outside ourselves. Just cutting down reflected sound can produce some odd results. The nearest thing on earth to the silence of outer space, for example, is the “anechoic chamber”at the Bell Telephone Laboratories in Burray Hills, N.J., which is lined with material that absorbs 99.98% of all reflected sound. Men who have remained in the room for more than an hour report that they feel nervous and out of touch with reality.

Questions:

S1.According to Paragraph One. Why do we blot out the sounds we don’t want to hear?

________________________________

S2.The writer believes that the rhythm of our footsteps changes as

_________________________.

S3.How many different kinds of sounds are mentioned in Paragraph 3?

________________________________

S4.What’s the main idea of Paragraphs 4 and 5?

________________________________

S5.The whole passage tells us that by ignoring most of the sound around us we miss much that could give us ____________________________.

PART ⅣWRITING (占总分的15%)

1.Ever since early the last century,electricity has become an essential part of our modern life.

2.If there were no electric power,____.

3.Therefore,____.

答案：

PART ⅡREADING COMPREHENSION

35.答案C。

见原文第1句，“While traveling abroad,Mr.Jackson ran short of money.So he wrote to his brother,asking for $500”由此推知Mr. Jackson正在国外旅行。由“send me by telegram...”推知Mr. Jackson离其兄弟甚远，所以需电报汇款。因此答案选择C。

36.答案B。见原文第二段第一句，“After a week he began calling at the Fisher Bank...”，其中calling at即为visiting。

37.答案B。见原文第三段第一句“In the fourth week Mr. Frank was arrested for failing to pay his hotel bill.”因此得知Mr. Jackson被捕的直接原因是未能支付旅馆费用，四个选项均符合。使用排除法：A、D分别指出他的兄弟未汇款和他的兄弟汇款数目不足，均不正确。C他的钱丢了，更未提到，因此选择B。

38.答案D。通读全文知汇款到达了指定的银行，因而只能选C或D。再考虑汇款到达的时间。根据“he was sent to prison for six days.”及“it came by telegram...more than two months ago.”知汇款在Mr. Jackson被捕前就到了。因此选择D。

39.答案A。见原文倒数第二段“A human mistake,sir!We’re all human beings,aren’t we?...”其中易造成混淆的答案是B“because they were human beings”，这是银行出纳员给自己的错误找的借口。而真正的原因是他的疏忽，因此选A。

40.答案A。见原文第一段第三句。“By definition tribalism means sharing among members of the extended family.”

41.答案C。见原文第一段“it makes sure that a person is taken care of by his own group.”以下各句均为该句的例证。其中包括“Tribal loyalty may mean a quick promotion”。因此选择C。

42.答案C。见原文第二段“Eight of the 21 cabinet posts,including the most important four...”其中the most important four指代前面刚提到的cabinet posts。因此选择C。

43.答案D。见原文第二段“As evidence of tribalism...”以下各句均为例证。确定其数目为3。

44.答案A。见原文第二段“Modern African politicians publicly speak out against tribal divisions.Yet it remains perhaps the most powerful force in day-to-day African ife”因此推知现今非洲领导人反对种族分离，只是这种现象仍客现存在。因此选择A。

45.答案D。该题考查对全文大意的领会。A、B、C虽或多或少提及过，但作为全文大意过于片面。全文作者主要谈论了个人对未来派诗歌的看法。因此选择D。

46.答案A。见原文第一段第一句“When a new movement in Art attains a certain vogue,it is advisable to find out what its advocates are aiming at.”由此推知正确答案为A。其中advocate和adherent同义，即为倡导者，支持者。

47.答案C。见原文第二段，“This speeding up of life,says the futurist,requires a new form of expression.”A项增加文艺的产出与课文中的“speed

up our literature”意思有差异，B项展望未来不是未来派文艺家的主要观点；D 项避免使用生辟词汇则与未来派观点相反。因此选择C。

48.答案C。见原文第一段最后一句，“...it can hardly be classified as Literature.”及最后一段第一句“This...can hardly be classed as Literature.”由此知作者认为难以将未来派诗歌划归为文学。因此选择C，A、B、D均不能全面地反映作者的意图。

49.答案B。见原文第二段最后一句“We must pour out a cataract of essential words,unhampered by stops,or qualifying adjectives...”，由此推知正确答案为B。其中unhamper意为不受…限制，阻碍。

50.答案D。阅读此文章可以看出这是一篇广告。文中措词有一定的鼓动性，泛指you 的使用更增加了亲切感。

51.答案B。 文章最后一段是本文的主题段。作者用意在鼓励失业者，尽管失业带来很多负面影响，但这也是一个人重新设计自己的机会。选项A、D 只是文中所谈的失业感受的消极方面。选项C与文中第一句意思相悖。

52.答案B。此题为细节题。文中提到人生观的形成关键在步入成年期的二十岁左右。一研究结果表明此时的观念已基本定型，以后随时间的流逝，观念会稍有改变，但不会有很大变化。

53.答案A。作者在文中指出，由于创办报纸成本高，现代报纸已越来越成为巨大的商业组织。在遵守行业规范、新闻报道力求公正客观的同时，会在报纸社论中发表报纸主人的观点，受商业利益的影响。故正确答案为A。

PART ⅢTHE USE OF ENGLISH

Section A

54.答案C。此题为语义项辨析题。四个选项均可作系动词，语法上均成立，但其中C项更为合适，其中包含着一个变化的过程。

55.答案B。联系上下文知此处为固定搭配from...to...，因此B为正确选项。

PART ⅣWRITING

Sample Writing

What Would Happen If There were No Power

Ever since early the last century,electricity has become an essential part of our modern life.Our industrial and agricultural production depends on it to run various kinds of machines.The modern wonder computers work on electricity too.It provides light,heat and power for us.If we want to watch TV or films or to listen to the radios we also need it.Nobody can deny that the development of our civilization depends on electricity.If there were no electric power,our modern world would be in trouble.For one thing all the wheels would stop because the motors that power the machines would fail.For another,many,if not all,of our industries would cease production.All the world transport system,in addition,would be felt on the world’s communication systems.Thus our modern world would be impossible without electricity.

Therefore,we should make better use of electric power. On the other hand,we should educate people to economize using electricity and not to waste the energy resources with no thought for the future.At the same time we must do our best to exploit more electric resources to meet the requirements of the human beings and to avoid energy crisis in the future.

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 One Air pollution can spread from city to city. It even spreads from one country to another. Some northern European countries have had “black snow”from pollutants that have traveled through the air from other countries and have fallen with the snow. So air pollution is really a global problem. Air pollution can kill babies, older people, and those who have respiratory（呼吸的）diseases. As found in cities, air pollution increases the risks of certain lung diseases. Air pollution can cause both airplane and car accidents because it cuts down visibility （能见度）. There are other possible health dangers from air pollution that we don’t know much about. For example, scientists are trying to find out whether chemicals that reach us from the air may cause changes in our cells. These changes might cause babies to be born with serious birth defects. Scientists are trying to learn how all the many chemicals are apt（易于的）to take into our bodies from air, water, food, and even medicines act together to affect our health and the way our bodies work. That is another reason why it is so important to begin to control pollution now instead of waiting until we learn all the answers. Air pollution costs us a lot of money. It corrodes（腐蚀）our buildings. It damages farm crops and forests. It has a destructive effect on our works of art. The cost of all this damage to our government is great. It would be much more worthwhile, both for us and for the government, to spend our tax dollars on air pollution control. 1. Air pollution may lead to airplane accidents because . A. it may cause pilots to be ill B. engines may fail from the air-borne dirt C. visibility is reduced D. it brings a lot of black snow 2. Scientists are trying to find a link between pollution and . A. intelligence levels B. birth problems C. man’s behavior D. the nervous system 3. Scientists have not yet determined . A. all of the effects of pollution on the human body B. how pollution can be controlled successfully C. when the atmosphere first became polluted D. how some snow becomes black 4. The author suggests that before air pollution becomes more serious, . A. factories will be forced to stop operating B. buildings should be protected C. the earth will begin to grow colder D. more money should be spent to solve the problem 5. We can conclude that . A. civilization may be ruined if pollution is not controlled B. pollution is more serious in Europe than it is in America C. most people do not know that pollution is a serious problem D. we should learn all the answers before we begin to control pollution Passage Two Stiletto heels could be banned from the workplace because of health and safety reasons, according to British Trade Union bosses. The Trade Union Congress, predominantly male, has proposed a motion arguing that high heels are disrespectful to women while they also contribute to long term injuries. They propose instead that women wear “sensible shoes”with an inch heel limit in an attempt to avoid future foot and back pain as well as injuries. The motion is due to be debated at next month’s conference. The motion states: “Congress believes high heels may look glamorous on the Hollywood catwalks but are completely in appropriate for the day-to-day working environment. Feet bear the burden of daily life, and for many workers prolonged standing, badly fitted footwear, and in particular high heels can be a hazard. Around two million days a year are lost through sickness as a result of lower limb disorders. Wearing high heels can cause long-term foot problems and also serious foot, knee and back pain and damaged joints. Many employers in the retail sector force women workers to wear high heels as part of their dress code. More must be done to raise awareness of this problem so that women workers and their feet are protected.” Nadline Dorries, the Tory Member of Parliament, however criticized the motion and said the extra height heels give women can help them when in the workplace. “I’m 5ft 3in and need every inch of my Christian Louboutin heels to look my male colleagues in the eye,”she said. “If high heels were banned in Westminster, no one would be able to find me. The Trade Union leaders need to get real, stop using obvious sexist tactics by discussing women’s

Calculate for a moment what could be done with even a part of those hours. Five thousand hours, I am told, are what a typical college undergraduate spends working on a bachelor's degree. In 10,000 hours you could have learned enough to become an astronomer or engineer. You could have learned several languages fluently. If it appealed to you, you could be reading Homer in the original Greek or Dostoyevsky in Russian. If it didn't, you could have walked around the world and written a book about it. The trouble with television is that it discourages concentration. Almost anything interesting and rewarding in life requires some constructive, consistently applied effort. The dullest, the least gifted of us can achieve things that seem miraculous to those who never concentrate on anything. But Television encourages us to apply no effort. It sells us instant gratification(满意). It diverts us only to divert, to make the time pass without pain. Television's variety becomes a narcotic(麻醉的), nor a stimulus. Its serial, kaleidoscopic (万花筒般的)exposures force us to follow its lead. The viewer is on a perpetual guided tour: 30 minutes at the museum, 30 at the cathedral, 30 for a drink, then back on the bus to the next attraction—except on television., typically, the spans allotted arc on the order of minutes or seconds, and the chosen delights are more often car crashes and people killing one another. In short, a lot of television usurps(篡夺;侵占) one of the most precious of all human gifts, the ability to focus your attention yourself, rather than just passively surrender it. Capturing your attention—and holding it—is the prime motive of most television programming and enhances its role as a profitable advertising vehicle. Programmers live in constant fear of losing anyone's attention—anyone's. The surest way to avoid doing so is to keep everything brief, not to strain the attention of anyone but instead to provide constant stimulation through variety, novelty, action and movement. Quite
