Questions 46 to 50 are based on the following passage：

A dinner party is often a pleasurable time for everyone but the host, so the important point to keep in mind is that “planning” is a key part of a successful dinner party.

All too often, hosts make the mistake of over-exerting themselves, leaving little time to enjoy the evening themselves. The following information can help you make it an enjoyable night for both yourself and your guests.

Firstly, make a guest list so you’ll know how many people to cook for. Let your guests know the time and date of the dinner well in advance and be sure to remind them shortly before the party.

Make a checklist of ingredients and drinks that you’ll need and try to buy them a couple of days before the party. cleaning till the day off, you might find yourself more stressed than you need to be. Keeping the menu simple doesn’t mean it has to be boring. The night will also be a lot easier for you if you prepare dishes that can be laid out at the centre of the table, allowing guests to serve themselves.

You can provide some music and the type of music will depend on the type of guests. You might not think of it, but the night will run a lot smoother with background music for the evening.

B. A good "planning" means over-exerting the host.

50. What's the third paragraph mainly about ?

A. How to save time for a dinner party.

B. How to entertain your guests.

C. How to plan a party.

D. How to enjoy yourself at a party.

Questions 51 to 55 are based on the following passage：

"Family" is of course an elastic(弹性的) word. But when British people say that their society is based on family life, they are thinking of "family" in its narrow, peculiarly European sense of mother, father, and children living together alone in their own house as an economic and social unit. Thus, every British marriage indicates the beginning of a new and independent family—hence the tremendous importance of marriage in British life. For both the man and the woman, marriage means leaving one's parents and starting one's own life. The man's first duty will then be to his wife, and the wife's to her husband. He will be entirely responsible for her financial support, and she for the running of the new home. Their children will be their common responsibility and theirs alone. Neither the wife's parents nor the husband's, nor their brothers or sisters, aunts or uncles, have any right to interfere with them—they are their own masters.

Readers of novels like Jane Austin's Pride and Prejudice will know that in former times marriage among wealthy families were arranged by the girl's parents, that is, it was the parents' duty to find a suitable husband for their daughter, preferably a rich one, and by skillful

encouragement—lead him eventually to ask their permission to marry her.

Until that time, the girl was protected and maintained in the parents' home and the financial relief(减轻) of getting rid of her could be seen in their giving the newly married pair a sum of money called a dowry(嫁妆).It is very different today. Most girls of today get a job when they leave school and become financially independent before their marriage.

This has had two results. A girl chooses her own husband, and she gets no dowry.

51.What does the author mean by "Family is of course an elastic word"?

A. Different families have different ways of life.

B. Different times produce different families.

C. Different nations have different families.

D. Different definitions could be given to the word.

52.For an English family, the husband's duty is ______.

A. financial while the wife's is running the home

B. defending the family which the wife's is running the home

C. supporting the family while the wife's is financial

D. independent while the wife's is dependent

53.Everything is decided in a British family ______.

A. by the couple

B. with the help of their parents

C.by brothers and sisters

D.with the help of aunts and uncles

54. What is true concerning the book “Pride and Prejudice”?

A. It is the best book on marriage.

B. It is a handbook of marriage.

C. It gives quite some idea of English social life in the past.

D. It provides a lot of information of former-time wealthy families.

55.With regard to marriage in Britain, present-day girls differ from former time girls in ____.

A. the right to get married

B. more parental support

C.finding a job

D. social position

Questions 56 to 60 are based on the following passage：

Praise is a powerful tool but many parents have misconceptions about what it does and how it works.

Praise encourages motivation and confidence, but a surprising number of people think it's the cause of jealousy, laziness and resentment. What are the most common assumptions about praise?

“There's no need to say anything.”

If things are going well, you may think there's no need to say anything. This attitude can be summed up as “if I don't say anything, then everything's OK”. What this really means is “I'll only say something when there is something to criticize”.

“If I say 'well done', they'll stop trying.”

Do you think that if you compliment your children they'll slack off? If we are praised for a job well done,

it generally encourages us to do better, not worse. The disappointment we feel when good work is not recognized gives rise to the feeling “why should I bother if nobody notices?”

“If I praise one, the others will be jealous.”

If you are honest and fair in your praise and recognize the special talents of each child, they won't resent praise given to their siblings. Each will feel valued for the unique individuals they are. Children who feel good about themselves are usually generous in their praise of other people. Never use praise of one as a way of implicitly criticizing another. For example, “you're always so cheerful...”with its implied message “... unlike your moody brother”.

“What if there's nothing to praise?”

There is always something to praise. You have to catch your child doing something right. Have a positive attitude to the things he does and remember the praise must always be genuine. Your child will quickly sense when you are lying.

56. Many parents have misunderstandings about

A. how powerful praise is

B. what praise is

C. what praise does and how it works

D. how to give genuine praises to their children

57. Why do some parents consider it unnecessary to say anything to praise their children?

A. Because they think things aren’t always going well.

B. Because they don’t like to praise their children.

C. Because they only think it necessary to say something when there is something to criticize.

D. Because they don’t like to criticize their children.

58. When you are praising one kid, you should

A. praise other kids too

B. explain the kid’s special talents

C. tell others to be generous and not to be jealous

D. make sure you don’t hurt another kid indirectly

59. Children who ________ are usually generous in their praise of other people.

A. feel good about themselves

B. feel bad about themselves

C. seldom receive praises

D. receive false praises

60. Which of the following may be the best title for this passage?

A. How to Be Good Parents

B. Misunderstandings About Praise

C. The Power of the Praise

D. All Kids Love Praises

Section B Short Answer questions(15 points, 3 for each)

Directions: Answer each of the questions in less than 10 words.

Pronouncing a language is a skill. Every normal person is an expert in the skill of pronouncing his own language，but few people are even moderately proficient at pronouncing foreign languages. Now there are many reasons for this，some obvious，some perhaps not so obvious. But I suggest that the fundamental reason why people in general do not speak foreign languages very much better than they do is that they fail to grasp the true nature of the problem of learning to pronounce，and consequently never set about tackling it in the right way. Far too many people fail to realize that pronouncing a foreign language is a skill，one that needs careful training of a special kind，and one that cannot be acquired by just leaving it to take care of itself. I think even teachers of language，while recognizing the importance of a good accent，tend to neglect，in their practical teaching，the branch of study concerned with speaking the language. So the first point I want to make is that English pronunciation must be taught; the teacher should

be prepared to devote some of the lesson time to this，and by his whole attitude to the subject should get the student to feel that here is a matter worthy of receiving his close attention. Besides this question of the time given to pronunciation，there are two other requirements for the teacher：the first，knowledge; the second technique.

It is also possible in this way to get a clear mental picture of the relationship between the sounds of different languages，between the speech habits of English people and those，say，of your students. Unless the teacher has such a picture，any comments he may make on his students ‘pronunciation are unlikely to be of much use，and lesson time spent on pronunciation may well be time-wasted.

61.If people succeed in understanging the problem of ________ ,they can speak foreign languages as well as their native languages.

62.What does the word "one" in the fifth sentence of the first paragraph refer to?

63.What are the three requirements for a language teacher according to the passage?

64.The teacher should make his students feel that pronunciation is a matter ________.

65.What is the passage mainly about?

IV. Translation (20 points, 4 or ach)

Directions: In this part, there are five items which you are required to translate into Chinese. Each item consists of one or two sentences. These sentences are all taken from the reading passages you have just read. You can refer back to the passages so as to identify their meanings in the context. 66. A dinner party is often a pleasurable time for everyone but the host, so the important point to keep in mind is that “planning” is a key part of a successful dinner party.

67. You can provide some music and the type of music will depend on the type of guests. You might not think of it, but the night will run a lot smoother with background music for the evening.

68. He will be entirely responsible for her financial support, and she for the running of the new home.

69. The disappointment we feel when good work is not recognized gives rise to the feeling “why should I bother if nobody notices?”

70. Have a positive attitude to the things he does and remember the praise must always be genuine. Your child will quickly sense when you are lying.

V. Writing (25 points)

Directions: For this part you are to write a composition in no less than 100 words and you are required to base your composition entitle

My Definition of a successful life on the outlines given below in Chinese.

(根据下面的三点中文提示,写一篇不少于100个英文单词的短文)

1. 人们对于成功生活的理解各不相同；

2. 我对成功生活的理解是……

The servants were up very late on the Saturday evening, getting everything ready for the next day, and while they were busy they saw the glow (暗淡的光) of a fire start in the sky. By 3 o'clock on the Sunday morning, the glow had become so bright that one of the servants, Jane, woke her master to see it. Pepys went to the window to watch it. It seemed fairly far away, so after a time he went back to bed. When he got up in the morning, it looked as though the fire was dying down, though he could still see some flames. So he set to work to tidy his room and put his things back where he wanted them after the servants had cleaned everything. While he was doing this, Jane came in to say that she had heard that the fire was a bad one: three hundred houses had been burned down in the night and the fire was still burning. Pepys went out to see for himself. He went to the Tower of London and climbed up on a high part of the building so that he could see what was happening. From there, Pepys could see that it was, indeed, a bad fire and that even the houses on London Bridge were burning. Someone told him that the fire had started in a

Some of the underwater wonders are almost ready to come true now. Others won't come tree, we think, until a long time from now. Some, of course, may never come true--but who knows for sure? They may. What are some of the wonders that may come true in the future? A world underground The green utopia (an ideally perfect place) underground is going to help us regain a more harmonious relationship between the often opposing sides of large-scale development and our ecosystem. The city may be called Alice City, from Alice's Adventure in the Wonderland, which offers a wonderful world that is almost as fantastical as that was described in the book. A large clear dome (圆顶), within an area of open parkland, leads into a multi-leveled structured metropolis of underground offices, housing, transportation and public areas. There will be everything to make the city as self-sufficient as possible including shopping malls, theatres and sports complexes in addition to facilities (contained in a separate structure) for power generation, heating and waste recycling. Apart from offering an almost limitless space for development, such underground development has many more attractive ecological advantages over traditional forms of housing. It is less disturbing than high rise development and therefore favorable in environmentally sensitive areas. Land above the complex can be set aside for parkland and recreational use. In towns or cities where pollution levels are high, air can be filtered through air pipes in the roof of an underground housing or industrial complex. A world underwater At the docks you step into a shiny metal submarine that is shaped like a shark. The door is closed behind you, and powerful engine starts to push. Down slides the submarine--like a shark diving. Deeper and deeper under the water. Soon all sunlight is gone. The headlights of the diving ship are turned on. Then, six miles below, you come to the sea bottom. From the diving submarine, you change to tiny jet boat and ride along close to the bottom of the ocean, almost as you would skim over the land in an air-plane. As you travel, you have fun looking out the window at the sights on the bottom of the ocean. You see strange fish and underwater mountains, cliffs, and valleys. But more than that--hotels and mining camps and farms and factories! A world in space Let's go back to dry land and take a future journey the other way-up instead of down. Huge rocket liners take you into space to visit the Moon Camp. You walk around on the moon in a special moon suit. You visit an observatory where a giant telescope looks far into space--farther than anyone has ever been able to see from Earth. You go deep down into one of the moon mines. After you have visited the moon, you visit the Mars Colony and the Venus Exploration Outpost. A new world on the Earth Let's go back to Earth. In the far, far future, girls--and boys, too--may be playing with dolls that look like the people of the planets visited by our spacemen. To control or run all kinds of toys, boys and girls may learn to use special computers --machines that answer questions and do arithmetic faster than you can blink. Bicycles and perhaps skates may be run by jet power, and a new thing to ride may be a small flying saucer. Imagine a race between them! There may be telepathy (心灵感应) helmets that send thought waves from your brain to that of your friend miles away. You just think a thought and your friend knows it! You can have secrets with each other that nobody else can turn in on! Robots There will be other surprises in the future. How would you like to have a robot playmate? Having robot playmates may not be-so much fun as it seems. But maybe a boy with a wrench (扳手) and a screwdriver can fix the robot so that it won't be too perfect! Food What about the food of the future? Scientists think that much of it will be artificial --made in factories from such surprising things as coal, limestone, air, and water. You don't think that ice-cream or cake or candy or even bread and potatoes made out of these things will taste very good? You may be wrong. These artificial things will be blended so skillfully by food chemists that the food of the future probably will be delicious. It probably will also be healthful because all the things that you need to live a long and healthy life will be put into it. A longer life Scientists of the future will almost certainly find other ways to make life last longer. They probably will find cures for most diseases. Hospitals will probably have "body banks" that can give you almost any new part you need to keep on living. People of the future may live to be a lot older than 100 years. TV Are you wondering whether there'll be television in the future? There'll almost certainly be wonderful programs. Television screens probably will be large and flat, hanging on the wall or going across the four walls of a room. People on the screen will look as real as if they were right in the room with you. Highways What about highways of the future? Well, a very small child probably will be able to drive a car. Nobody will need to steer. Electric signals will hold each car on the right road to get wherever the "driver" wants to go. And it probably will be impossible for cars to smash together. Controls that won't even have to be touched will make all speeding cars miss each other or will put on the brakes. Driving by car will be as safe as being at home. Weather control But maybe the most wonderful surprise in the future will be weather control. Cities may have giant plastic domes over them to keep out snow, rain, or storms. When you plan a picnic in a park, you won't have to worry about rain. It will rain only when the "weatherman" thinks it is needed to freshen the air inside the city. All other days will be fair and warm. The future should be a wonderful time in which to live. But the time you axe living in now was also "a wonderful future" to the people who lived 100 years ago. 1. The underground city would get its name from a book called Alice's Adventure in the Wonderland. A. Y B. N C. NG 2. The multi-leveled structure underground would include everything that is necessary to a city, from offices, shopping malls to power and heating system. A. Y B. N C. NG
