　　Questions 20 to 23 are based on the following passage.

　　Viktor Frankl， a famous Jewish psychiatrist(精神病医生）, wrote his bestselling 1946 book Mans Search for Meaning in nine days about his experiences in Nazi concentration camps. Frankl concluded that the difference between thoseprisoners who had lived and those who had died came down to one thing ： Meaning, an insight he came to early in life.

　　In 1991, the Library of Congress listed Man5s Search for Meaning as one of the 10 most influential books in the United States. It has sold millions of copies worldwide. Now, over twenty years later, the book s ideas—its emphasis on meaning, the value of suffering, and responsibility to something greater than the self—seem to be at odds with our culture,which is more interested in the pursuit of individual happiness than in the search for meaning. But happiness cannot bepursued. It follows. One must have a reason to be happy,”Franklwrote.

　　According to Gallup, the happiness levels of Americans are at a four-year high. Gallup also reports that nearly 60%of all Americans today feel happy, without a lot of stress or worry. On the other hand, according to the Center for DiseaseControl, about 4 out of 10 Americans have not discovered a satisfying life purpose. 40% either do not think their liveshave a clear sense of purpose or are neutral about whether their lives have purpose. Nearly a quarter of Americans do nothave a strong sense of what makes their lives meaningful.

　　Research has shown that having purpose and meaning in life increases overall well-being and life satisfaction, improves mental and physical health, and decreases the chances of depression. On top of that, the single-minded pursuit ofhappiness is leaving people less happy, according to recent research.

　　20. According to Paragraph 1, we know that Viktor Frankl_____________ .

　　A. wrote his early life experience as a soldier

　　B. lost his hope of seeking the meaning of life

　　C. spent nine days in Nazi concentration camps

　　D. survived with the spiritual support of life meaning

　　21. The book’sideas dont agree with American culture because Americans are more interested in searching for____.

　　A. happiness B. meaning C. suffering D. stress

　　22. The percentage of Americans who don’t have a satisfying life purposeis______________ .

　　A. 25% B. 60% C. 40% D. 10%

　　23. Which of the following is the idea the author intends to convey?

　　A. Mental health is the most important factor in life.

　　B. Pursuit of happiness is the most important thing in life.

　　C. Physical health can be improved if you are happy.

　　D. Realizing the meaning of life is important to happiness.

　　Questions 24 to 27 are based on the following passage.

　　If you’ve ever lost your wallet (钱包), then you know that it’s a very terribleexperience. Most people keep a lotintheir wallets. That’s where they keep their drivers license, their credit cards, and all kinds of other important things. Of course，that’s also where most of us keep our cash.

　　We all need cash in our lives. However, something called digital currency is slowly replacing cash. A currency is a kind of money. Usually, we use currency when we talk about a country’s money. For example, the UK is the pound, and the USA is the dollar. If something is digital, it only exists on a computer. So “digital currency” means money thatonly existson computers.

　　Lots of people have digital currency accounts. They use a credit card to change their real money into digital money, and then the money goes into the digital currency account. A lot ofpeople wonder, “Why in the worldshould I change myreal moneyinto digital money? ” This is a fair question, but there’s a good answer. If you want to buy something online, then you usually have to use digital currency. For example， if you’re in China and you want to buy something in Canada, then you’ll have to pay with digital currency.

　　Many people still don’t trust digital currency. Some people think that if they can’thold their money in their hand, then it doesn’t seem real. These people don’t feel comfortable when they see numbers on a computer screen. The computertells them that their money is safe, but these people don’tfeel safe. Another problem is security. There are hackers all overtheworld. A hacker is a person who steals computer information. If a hacker gets the password of your digital currency account, he or she can steal your money.

　　You have to decide whether or not you trust this new invention. Just remember one thing： If you want to buy something online, then you probably won’thave achoice. You’ll have to use digital money.

　　24. The word “fair”（ Para. 3) is closest in meaning to__________ .

　　A. beautiful B. equal C. pleasant D. reasonable

　　25. Which of the following is probably a hacker according to the passage?

　　A. A person who uses a computer to steal things.

　　B. A person who composes computer programs.

　　C. A person who uses a computer to buy things.

　　D. A person who owns a lot of digital currency.

　　26. How do those who don’t trust digital currency think about money?

　　A. The money on a computer screen is safe.

　　B. The money in their hand is real.

　　C. Real money is worth more than digital money.

　　D. Real money and digital money are the same.

　　27. What does the passage mainly talk about?

　　A. Hacker problems in the world. B. Currencies used in particular countries.

　　C. A new kind of money. D. Safety of digital currency.

　　Questions 28 to 31 are based on the following passage.

　　Zoos are hugely popular attractions for adults and children alike. But are they actually a good thing?

　　Critics of zoos would argue that animals often suffer physically and mentally by being enclosed (封闭). Even the best artificial environments can^ come close to matching the space and freedom that animals have in their natural environments. Thisenclosure causes many zoo animals to become stressed or mentally ill. Capturing animals in the wild also causes much suffering by splitting up families. Some zoos make animals behave unnaturally. For example, in some parksdolphins (海豚)are forced to perform tricks, who may die decades earlier than their wild relatives. And some even try to kill themselves.

　　On the other hand, by bringing people and animals together, zoos have the potential to educate the public aboutconservation issues and inspire people to protect animals and their natural environments. Some zoos provide a safe environment for animals which have been mistreated by people, or pets which have been abandoned. Zoos also carry out importantresearch into subjects like animal behavior and how to treat illnesses. One of the most important modern functions of zoos issupporting international breeding(繁殖) programmes, particularly for endangered species(种群). In the wild， some ofthe rarest species have difficulty in finding mates and breeding. A good zoo will enable these species to live and breed insecure environments.

　　So, are zoos good for animals or not? Perhaps it all depends on how well individual zoos are managed, and the benefits of zooscan surely outweigh their harmful effects. However, it is understandable that many people believe imprisoninganimalsfor any reason is simply wrong.

　　28. The expression “artificial environments” (Para. 2)is used in contrast to_______________.

　　A. natural environments B. some zoos

　　C. breeding programmes D. modern functions

　　29. Why are dolphins mentioned in Paragraph 2?

　　A. They are ocean animals.

　　B. They are good at performing.

　　C. They are made to behave unnaturally in some parks.

　　D. They are supported by international breeding programmes.

　　30. According to the passage, international breeding programmes are particularly important to________.

　　A. animals in zoos B. split-up families

　　C. dolphins in parks D. endangered species

　　31. What is the author’s attitude towards zoos?

　　A. Negative B. Positive C. Critical D. Understandable

　　Questions 32 to 35 are based on the following passage.

　　How many times, when finding yourself in a difficult situation, have you heard something like, “You just need to go somewhere, change your environment, and meet new people.” Upon hearing this, we think such advice can be annoying： going through hard times, you rather expect help, sympathy, or at least something more practical, rather than“You know， you should travel”. However, the surprising truth is that this is probably one of the most useful and practical pieces of advice you can get.

　　Of course, you cannot abandon everything and set off to go on a world trip. All of us have duties, responsibilities, debts, connections. However, the advice to travel does not necessarily imply something like departing to Nepal and living among monks(僧侣)for years. In fact, small but regular journeys are available almost to everyone, and the positiveeffects they can have on your mental condition and your ability to cope with difficulties are significant.

　　When you are stressed， your thoughts obviously cannot be positive and optimistic(乐观的).So, whether you want it or not, you will view your life situation from a rather pessimistic perspective(悲观的视角). However， when you board a plane and fly overseas, you almost immediately start to feel your problems fade. “Out of sight, out of mind,’’ as the saying goes. Of course, I am not saying the easiest way to feel better is to escape from problems; I rather mean that taking a break and allowing yourself to breathe in some fresh air can give you a new perspective. Having a good rest is a necessary condition of any recovery, and your mind definitely needs rest from time to time.

　　Speaking of new perspectives, when travelling, you will inevitably meet a lot of new people. Some of them will become friends of yours; some will remain strangers. Psychologists have known that perhaps the most honest and sincere communication often occurs between strangers； this is called "the companion effect”. Useit to your advantage. Whether youneed advice, help, or a person who would quietly listen to you as you share your hardships, there is no better opportunity to get all this from strangers while travelling. Travelling can not solve your problems but will help you recover from yourmental wounds, get rid of the excessive stress, and give you the skills to deal with your hardships as you return home.

　　32. While in a difficult situation, people think the suggestion “You just need to gosomewhere”______..

　　A. annoying B. surprising C. practical D. useful

　　33. What does the advice to travel really mean in this passage?

　　A. Finding a temple and living with the monks.

　　B. Giving up your duties and departing to Nepal.

　　C. Starting a small journey and getting yourself refreshed.

　　D. Forgetting everything and starting a trip around the world.

　　34. What does the word “ it ” （ Para. 4) refer to?

　　A. A trip. B. The communication. C. A new perspective. D. The companion effect.

　　35. What is the probable title for this passage?

　　A. Sincere Communication Is a Way Out of Problems

　　B. Travelling Offers New Perspectives in Life Situation

　　C. Going Through Hard Times Needs Help and Sympathy

　　D. Travelling Is the Best Way to Escape from Problems

　　Part III Reading Comprehension

　　In this age of equality, sameness between the sexes is emphasized as if differences have to mean problems. Well, differences can mean problems. but only when they are not properly understood.

　　Imagine Adam alone in the Garden of Eden and you will have an idea about the way many men feel today. If the major issue for women is overload in their life----balancing career, relationships, children, home ---- the crisis for men is loneliness and the loss of women. Twenty-five years ago, most men came home from work to a warm meal, a clean house, the devotion of a gentle wife. Now the majority of women work outside, they are no longer the full-time housewives as before, so men are feeling deserted and easily hurt.

　　Women get emotional support through a network of friends and family. Most men dont have such relationships; they are intimate only with their wives or lovers. As a result, any lessening of their partner’s attention may be thought of as rejection or abandonment.

　　Bobs wife Sandy has a full-time job, and he really prefers her bringing home extra income. Yet he also feels uneasy and troubled. "When I get home at the end of the day, wanting to have a talk with Sandy, he said, "She puts me of. First she makes dinner, then the kids need something, or a friend calls her. She talks with her sister, her girlfriends, her workmates, but not with me. I sometimes do feel abandoned and annoyed."

　　Since most men have difficulty admitting loneliness and hurt, they tend to become angry instead. Bobs constant complaints and criticism made Sandy confused and irritated. Eventually, they came up with a simple solution that met both Bob’s need for time and Sandys sense of responsibility to others. The first half-hour after arrived home from work was “theirs”, they would sit together and just talk to each other about everything they want to say.

　　51. Many men feel hurt and abandoned because _____________.

　　A) women think it’s unfair to stay at home doing housework

　　B) their wives are no longer gentle and caring to the family

　　C) the equality of men and women is strongly emphasized

　　D) most women have their own jobs and don’t have enough time and energy caring about men

　　52. Why do men care a lot about their coupler’s attitude towards them?

　　A) Because their differences can mean problems,

　　B) Because they dont have a network of friends and family,

　　C) Because they only want to have an intimate relation with their wives.

　　D) Because men lack confidence nowadays.

　　53. Which of the following statements about Bob and Sandy is true?

　　A) Bob doesnt wish Sandy to do a full-time job.

　　B) Sandy is too busy to have time talking with Bob.

　　C) Sandy puts Bob off since theres no common topic between them anymore.

　　D) Sandy feels equal to Bob now and no longer loves him as before.

　　54. What does the passage want to tell us?

　　A) Differences between men and women would certainly bring problems.

　　B) All human beings should be considered equal.

　　C) Only sameness could bring happiness to a marriage life.

　　D) Mutual understanding between men and women helps to solve problems.

　　Passage Two

　　Many people have the experience that getting up in the morning is so difficult and painful. This might be called laziness. But Dr. Kleitman has a new explanation to this, he has proved that everyone has a daily energy cycle.

　　During the hours when you labor through your work, you may say that youre feeling “hot”. That’s true. The time of day when you feel most energetic is when your cycle of body temperature is at its peak. No one has discovered why this is so, but it leads to such familiar monologue as: "Get up, Tom! Youll be late for school again! The possible explanation to the trouble is that Tom is at his temperature and energy peak in the evening.

　　Much family quarrelling ends when husbands and wives realize what these energy cycles mean, and which cycle each member of the family has. You cant change your energy cycle, but you can learn to make your life fit it better. Habit can help a lot. Maybe youre sleepy in the evening but feel you must stay up late anyway, counteract your cycle to some extent by habitually staying up later than you want to. However, if your energy is low in the morning but you have an important job to do early in the day, rise before your usual hour. This wont change your cycle, but youll get up steam and work better at your low point.

　　Get off to slow start which saves your energy. Get up with a leisurely yawn and stretch. Sit on the edge of the bed a minute before putting your feet on the floor. Avoid the troublesome search for clean clothes by laying them out the night before. Whenever possible, do routine work in the afternoon and save tasks requiring more energy or concentration for your sharper hours.

　　55. According the passage, what might bring family quarrels to the end?

　　A) Stopping familiar monologues every day.

　　B) A sudden change of a family member’s energy cycle.

　　C) Being aware of energy cycles of other family members.

　　D) Trying to control the energy cycles of other member

　　56. If one wants to do better at his low point in the morning, he should_________.

　　A) change his energy cycle B) go to bed earlier the day before

　　C) try to overcome his laziness D) get up earlier than usual

　　57. What does the sentence “get off to slow start which saves your energy” mean?

　　A) It will help you to control your temper early in the day.

　　B) It will enable you to concentrate on your routine work.

　　C) It will help to keep your energy for the whole day’ s work.

　　D) It will keep your energy cycle under control all day.

　　58. Which of the following is NOT mentioned in the passage?

　　A) Dr Klriman explains why people reach their peak at different hours of day.

　　B ) Habit can help people adjust to their own energy cycle.

　　C) Each person has his own energy cycle.

　　D) Getting up with a slow start helps us to save energy for work.

　　Passage Three

　　A person with a flat, dull voice which neither rises nor falls sounds like a flat and dull person. But he or she may not be! While we can’t deny the fact that people can give the impression that they are bored, anxious friendly or angry just by the sound of their voice.

　　A French friend of mine once said to me. " Your accent in French is excellent but you will never sound like a Frenchman until you put all your heart into your voice. It is a pity because you are a lively person and yet you don’t sound lively to a Frenchman!"

　　We learn the grammar and vocabulary and even the correct pronunciation of the foreign language, but we may forget the important emotional effect of the music of our speech. For British people, the intonation of language is attractive. Thats to say, the rise and fall in the sound of our voice when we speak really matters. Its unfortunate that the intonation of some other countries can often communicate the wrong meaning.

　　British people sometimes feel offended because they think the other person is unfriendly even if he has spoken a perfect English sentence! And this failure of communication can also happen between British people themselves.

　　If you want to communicate successfully with another person, you may have to think about the music of your own voice. Especially when you meet someone from a different part of your country or from another country, you should be careful! Don’t judge them only by their intonation.

　　59. What does the writer want to show through the example in the second paragraph?

　　A) To learn a foreign language well, we must learn the sound and pronunciation well

　　B) Grammar, vocabulary and pronunciation are not the only important elements in learning a foreign language.

　　C) A person with a flat, dull voice will not give other good impression.

　　D) In learning a foreign language, we must talk to the native speakers frequently.

　　60. The word "music" in the third paragraph means___________.

　　A) intonation B) rising tone

　　C) sweet voice D) falling tone

　　61. British people sometimes feel offended while talking with others because .

　　A) they can’t understand what the other person says

　　B) the other person says something rude

　　C) the languages they speak are quite different

　　D) they misunderstand the other persons words

　　62. What is the main idea of the passage?

　　A) To communication with others successfully, we must know music well.

　　B) We cant simply judge a person by his voice, nor can we neglect the intonation.

　　C) Many listeners will not pay attention to the sound of ones voice.

　　D) Its not easy for people from different countries or parts to communicate.

　　Part II. Reading Comprehension(50 points)

　　Directions: In this part there are four passages. Each passage is followed by five questions or unfinished statements. For each of them, there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. You should decide on the best choice and mark the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet with a single line through the centre.

　　Passage One

　　Most American people hate repeating the same work endlessly, especially those who live in West America. They try their best to make their life colorful and their work interesting. If they have

　　to do the same regular work, they’ll try to do it in different ways. Repetition and monotony ( 单 调 )

　　are what they cant stand.

　　In the West of America, there is a beautiful old mountain village which is well known for its straw hats. The villagers there can make different styles of hats—hats for old gentlemen, for sweet and playful children, and for beautiful young ladies. People often go there to buy hats.

　　One day there came a young tourist who entered a hat shop and found a very nice hat that cost five dollars. He said to the shop-keeper,” If you agree to sell at a cheaper price, Id like to buy two hundred hats of this style.” “No, you should pay me at least ten dollars each if you wish to get so many hats of the same style.”

　　“Hows that?” The tourist could not understand.

　　“Well,” said the shop-keeper, “if you buy only one hat of this style, I can make it easily. If you order two hundred hats of different styles, I can also manage the business without much difficulty. However, it will almost bore me to death if you want me to make two hundred hats of the same style. So at least you pay me double price.”

　　61.We can learn from the story that .

　　A.only the straw hats of the same style were sold

　　B.most American people dont want to do the same work again and again

　　C.the straw hats were sold only in the mountain village

　　63.The answer of the shop-keeper really made the tourist .

　　A.frightened B. pleased C. puzzled D. delighted

　　64.Why did the shop-keeper ask the tourist to pay him double price?

　　A.Because the shop-keeper couldnt make two hundred hats of the same style.

　　B.Because the shop-keeper couldnt stand repeating the same work endlessly.

　　C.Because the shop-keeper didnt want to sell him so many hats.

　　D.Because the shop-keeper hadnt enough straw to make the hats.

　　63.“It will bore me almost to death” in Paragraph 5 means that .

　　A.it would be too expensive for the shop-keeper

　　B.the shop-keeper was bored and would die at once C the shop-keeper was dying

　　D. it would be too boring for the shop-keeper

　　Passage Two

　　It is exciting to apply for a job that really appeals to you. In making your application, there are a number of points for you to observe.

　　In your letter of application, say just enough to give a good account of yourself without being wordy. If you are answering an advertisement, any information for which it asks must, of course, be given. This will usually cover your academic record and any further education and training. You may also be asked to give the names of one or two persons to supply references. For this purpose

　　you should choose people who know you well enough to vouch(保证) for your character and ability;

　　and to be polite, you should seek in advance their permission to be named as referees.

　　It will depend on circumstances how much you can carefully add about yourself. Your purpose is to bring to the notice of the employer any good reason why you rather than any of the other applicants should be chosen for the job. Therefore, if you feel you have any special skill or talent for the work, or particular interest in the line of business. let it be known.

　　Finally, there is your use of language. You cannot go wrong if you keep your sentences and paragraphs short, making sure the sense is clear and well-expressed. Choose plain words so long as they convey the meaning.

　　66.The aim of writing a letter of application is to .

　　A.indicate why you are the most suitable for the job

　　Passage Three

　　Doctors have known for a long time that extremely loud noises can cause hearing damage or loss. The noise can be the sound of a jet airplane or machines in factories or loud music or other common sounds found at home or at work. A person only needs to hear the noise for a little more than one second to be affected. An American scientist has found that using aspirin can increase the temporary hearing loss or damage from loud noise. He did an experiment, using a number of male students at a university who all had normal hearing. He gave them different amounts of aspirin for different periods of time, and then he tested their hearing ability. He found that the students who were given four grams of aspirin a day for two days suffered much greater temporary hearing loss than those who did not use aspirin. The hearing loss was about two times as great. The scientist said millions of people in the United States use much larger amounts of aspirin than were used in the study. He said these people face a serious danger of suffering hearing loss from loud noise.

　　71.Hearing damage or loss may be caused by .

　　A.loud music B. the sound of a jet airplane or machines

　　D.will not be damaged even if he hears a loud noise for a little less than one second

　　Passage Four

　　Ancient people had little idea of the nature of the earths surface. But if they lived on the seashore, they knew that there was land and sea.

　　People who lived near the sea noticed that there were two kinds of land. There were, first, little pieces of land surrounded by sea. One Latin word for “sea” is “salum”, which means “salt”. This is

　　because sea water, unlike rain-water, contains salt—it is salty. So a piece of land in the sea was “in

　　salt” in Latin, and this became isle in English.

　　Then there was another kind of land that went on and on. It was “continuous land, and so became known as continent in English from the Latin “continēnts” meaning continuous. In English, we also speak of a continent as the mainland (“main” comes from the Latin “magnus” meaning “ great”), as opposed to island( isle-land).

　　To the ancient Greek, there seemed to be three continents separated by sea. The Mediterranean Sea, in fact, gets its name from the Latin “medius” (middle) and “terra” (land). It was a sea that lay

　　in the middle, with three bodies of land around it. The three continents—Asia, Europe and Africa—

　　are actually connected by land. Africa and Asia are connected by only the small Sinai Isthmus, from the Greek “isthmus” meaning “a narrow passage”, but Europe and Asia are connected by land for a thousand miles or more and it is customary to speak of Europe as a continent. Many geographers speak of the landmass of Asia plus Europe as Eurasia, and Eurasia plus Africa is sometimes called the World Island. The three together are surrounded by sea, so they form a large island, and they contain about 85 percent of the earths population.

　　76.People in ancient times knew .

　　A.a lot about land and sea B. some continents were connected

　　C. little about the surface of the earth D. many people lived on the World Island

　　77.The word “continent” comes from language.

　　A.the Latin B. the Roman C. the Greek D. the Hebrew

　　78.“Eurasia” is the name for the continents of .

　　A.Europe and Asia B. Europe and Africa

　　C. Africa and Asia D. Europe, Asia and Africa

　　79.What connects Asia and Africa?

　　A.A small island. B. A large desert.

　　C. A narrow passage. D. A wide land.

　　80.About 85% of the population in the world are living .

　　A.in Europe B. in Asia

　　C. in Eurasia D. on the World Island

　　Part III. Translation (20 points)

　　Directions: In this part, there is one passage in English. Read the passage carefully and translate it into Chinese.

　　Learning English has been almost a painful experience for me, one that I wouldn’t trade for anything. Not only did learning English teach me the value of hard work, but also gave me

　　insights( 领 悟 ) into another culture. The most exciting result of having learned English is that I am

　　able to communicate with many more people than before. Talking with people is my favorite activity, so the newly learned language allows me to meet new people, participate in conversations, and form new and unforgettable friendships.

　　Part IV. Writing (20 points)

　　College Students Doing Part-Time Jobs

　　There are many advantages for college students to have part-time jobs. First, it can help the students to realize that if they want to be successful, they need to be hard-working. Next, doing part-time jobs can help the students to learn about time management. Then, doing part-time jobs can provide the students opportunities to put what they have learned in class into practice, which, in turn, will help them learn about what exactly is needed in real jobs.

　　However, there may also be some disadvantages. Firstly, the students study hours may be shortened depending on circumstances. They may not have enough time to do their homework or study for their examinations. Secondly, some students may become too preoccupied with making money. They may not be willing to commit as much time as needed to their study. The consequences may include failure in examinations or non-graduation in the end.

　　As far as I am concerned, college students can take part-time jobs as long as they can keep a good balance between their study and their part-time jobs.

　　At first, I couldnt understand why my colleagues would continue chatting after they had formally said goodbye. However, after having spent over a week here, I have learn that staying behind to chat is the way local people show they are interested in you and that is quite nice!

　　I am slowly learning to be more flexible with my schedule, and I now make sure I have plenty of time between appointments so I can join conversations without having to constantly be in a rush.

　　Questions 24 to 27 are based on the following passage.

　　Humans have long turned to the dog for its nose, especially in its ability to hunt, track missing people, and search for drugs- But there is a new challenge： Bomb-detecting dogs now have to learn to find the increasingly common Improvised Explosive Devices (IEDs)(临时组装的爆炸装置）that can be assembled from materials not dangerous by themselves. “So we’re now asking dogs not just to find a needle in a haystack (干草堆）一 now the problem is more like saying to the dog we need you to find any sharp object in the haystack,” says Clive Wynne，a professor at Arizona State University.

　　Wynne directs the study that develops methods to train dogs to identify a wide variety of ingredientsthat could be used to make bombs. The dogs not only have to detect whether explosive materials are present, they also have to determine if the chemicals they smell could combine to form an explosive mixture. The dogs need to learn that when combined with other elements, even sugar could be used in a bomb. “we want the dogs to grasp the concept of ‘this might explode’”.

　　Wynne says the big problem is that IEDs are just that---improvised and completely unsteady. A dog’s nose can be over a thousand times more powerful than a human’s nose. Some agencies spent billions of dollars over the last 15 years trying to create a technical replacement for the nose of the dog, and at the end of all that they just had to admit “No, we cannot get close”. Wynne thinks his team can develop bomb sniffing (嗅，闻）dogs that can detect IEDs at a small part of that price. All it takes is patience.

　　24.According to the passage，the new task of bomb-detecting dogs is to learn______.

　　A. to detect materials that can be used to make bombs

　　B. to recognize materials that look like bombs

　　C. to search for various needles in a haystack

　　D. to identify drugs in a large pile of materials

　　25.The word “ingredients”（Line 2，Para. 2) is closest in meaning to_______.

　　A. methods B. dangers C. chances D. elements

　　26. According to the passage，a dog’s nose______?

　　A. Can’t be improved

　　B. is not replaceable

　　C. can be as powerful as a human nose

　　D. is equal to a technical machine

　　27. Why is it difficult to train dogs to detect IEDs, according to Wynne?

　　A. Dogs are unwilling to sniff IEDs.

　　B. IEDs can be replaced by other things.

　　C. It’s too expensive to get dogs trained

　　D. IEDs can be made from various materials.

　　Questions 28 to 31 are based on the following passage.

　　Food writer Bee Wilson has a message of hope for parents struggling to get their children to eat vegetables: “As parents, we have a far greater power than we think we have to form children’s tastes,” says Wilson.

　　In her new book, First Bite, Wilson examines how genetics(遗传), culture, memory and early feeding patterns contribute to our food preferences. She says that a child’s ability to judge good food can be formed even before birth. And this insight can be helpful for parents who want their children to eat well and healthfully.

　　“One of the main things we know about taste is that liking is a consequence of familiarity，so the things that our mothers eat，even before we’re born，affect the way well respond to those flavors. When we later encounter them, they seem familiar. “There have been remarkable studies done showing that if someone eats a lot of garlic when shes pregnant, the baby will grow up to love garlic.

　　Wilson, a mother of three, notes that babies are most open to trying new flavors between the ages of four and seven months. But, Wilson adds, even if parents miss introducing a food during the so-called “flavor window”，all hope is not lost.

　　“It not that the flavor window is shut and we can never learn to love bitter green vegetables. Humans can learn to love new flavors at any age,” Wilson says. “One of the amazing things about our relationship with food is how malleable (可塑的）it is. But we dont usually as adults give ourselves an opportunity to change.”

　　28.According to Bee Wilson，a child’s food tastes________.

　　A.cant be changed by anyone

　　B.can be influenced by parents

　　C.will not develop even if he eats a lot of vegetables

　　D.will stay the same even if he eats well and healthfully

　　29.The word “preferences”（Line 2，Para. 2) is closest in meaning to_____.

　　A.ability B. flavor C. liking D. taste

　　30.Which life period of a baby is referred to as the flavor window?

　　A. The time between 4 and 7 months of age.

　　B. The period before a baby is 3 years old.

　　C. The days when a baby tries new flavors.

　　D. The months when a baby eats vegetables.

　　31.What can we conclude from the passage?

　　A. We can never learn to love bitter green vegetables.

　　B. We can always change our food tastes if we choose to.

　　C. When the flavor window is shut, our food taste is formed.

　　D. Parents often miss the chance to introduce foods to kids.

　　Questions 32 to 35 are based on the following passage.

　　Earth Day was the brainchild of Gaylord Nelson, a United States Senator from Wisconsin. After seeing the environmental destruction caused by the 1969 oil spill in Santa Barbara, California, Nelson wanted to find a way to raise public consciousness of the need for greater environmental protections.

　　The result was the first Earth Day on April 22, 1970. On that day, over 20 million Americans took part in a variety of rallies(集会），meetings，demonstrations and activities， all targeted at highlighting the need for protecting Earth and our environment for future generations. Thousands of colleges and universities also participated. Members of different groups learned they shared common values.

　　Earth Day was a tremendous success. It has now become a global phenomenon. In 1990，for example, over 200 million people in 141 countries were organized to bring environmental issues, especially recycling, to the forefront of global consciousness. Today, Earth Day campaigns continue to publicize important environmental issues, such as global warming, dean energy, and recycling.

　　If you’re wondering what you can do to make Earth a better place，participating in Earth Day activities is a great place to start- By attending a rally，meeting, or demon-station, you can learn about the environmental problems facing our planet. To really make a difference, though, you need to turn the knowledge you gain into action. Volunteering for an environmental group or helping to organize an Earth Day event to educate others is one way to make a difference. More importantly, however, you can make changes in your daily life. Here are a few suggestions：

　　Conserve energy and natural resources! Turn off the lights when you leave a room. Take shorter showers. Turn down the thermostat(恒温器）in winter and turn it up during the summer.

　　Plant a tree! Trees produce oxygen and remove carbon dioxide from the air. They will benefit you and future generations.

　　Reduce, reuse, and recycle! The amount of trash humans produce increases each year.

　　Do your part by reducing the amount of stuff you buy，reusing the stuff you already have, and recycling as much as possible.

　　32. Earth Day was set up in order to______.

　　A.help California recover from the 1969 oil spill

　　B.help Nelson realize his dream of becoming a senator

　　C.remember those who suffered greatly in the oil spill

　　D.improve the publics awareness of environmental protection

　　33. What happened on April 22, 1970, according to the passage?

　　A.Different groups met to discuss environmental issues.

　　B.Thousands of college students went out into the streets to protest.

　　C.Environmental activists targeted at governments.

　　D.Millions of Americans participated in environmental protection activities.

　　34.In 1990, Earth Day campaigns focused on publicizing_____?

　　A. recycling B. clean energy

　　C. the effects of global warming D. the benefits of cycling

　　35.To make Earth a better place, you can start from______.

　　Passage1

　　Many post-80s couples are complaining that going to the movies, shopping or attending parties have become impossible since their kids were born. That s the way most parents are living their lives, no weekends of their own, no time to visit friends, not even a chance of promotion in their jobs.

　　Asking help from their parents might be a way out,but problems are that some aging parents are not strong enough to take care of the kids, and that the kids may also become too spoiled by their grandparents.

　　Then, here comes a solution: families with kids can form a small group, and parents of each family can take turns to look after all the kids in this group on weekends. Thus, other parents can have some quiet time and feel free to do something they ve been planning for a long time. At the same time, the kids can make new friends and won t be hanging around their parents all day long. This is baby-pooling.

　　Passage2

　　It is a terrible illustration of man s weakness to nature ,and the tsunami(海啸) that struck the Japanese coast in March, 2011 has illustrated the difficulty of fighting against natural disasters, even for a prosperous nation.

　　Totally preventing tsunami-damage is impossible. But there is much that can be done to minimize damage and loss of life. Measures that can be taken include designing solid buildings, and developing early-warming systems, public education programs and evacuation(疏散) strategies.Moreover, the approach of a tsunami is possibly picked up by the sensors of complicated international warming systems. Countries can use radio and television broadcasts as well as loudspeaker networks to warn the public.

　　But an early warming system depends on how far the tsunami strikes, if it s close by, the warning system is not going to be very effective. When people are faced with an unstoppable force like a tsunami the massive waves

　　created by events like underwater earthquakes, the best course of action for them is to get inland and to the higher ground as quickly as possible.

　　66. The first paragraph tells us that .

　　Passage 3

　　Global warming is causing more than 300,000 deaths and about $125 billion in economic losses each year, according to a report by the Global Humanitarian Forum, an organization led by Annan, the former United Nations secretary general.

　　The report, to be released Friday, analyzed data and existing studies of health, disaster, population and economic trends. It found that human-influenced climate change was raising the global death rates from illnesses including malnutrition (营养不良) and heat-related health problems.

　　But even before its release, the report drew criticism from some experts on climate and risk, who questioned its methods and conclusions.

　　Along with the deaths, the report said that the lives of 325 million people, primarily in poor countries, were being seriously affected by climate change. It projected that the number would double by 2030.

　　Roger Pielke Jr.a political scientist at the University of Colorado, Boulder, who studies disaster trends, said the Forum’s report was “a methodological embarrassment” because there was no way to distinguish deaths or economic losses related to human-driven global warming amid the much larger losses resulting from the growth in populations and economic development in vulnerable (易受伤害的) regions. Dr. Pielke said that “climate change is an important problem requiring our utmost attention.” But the report, he said, “will harm the cause for action on both climate change and disasters because it is so deeply flawed (有瑕疵的).”

　　However, Soren Andreasen, a social scientist at Dalberg Global Development Partners who supervised the writing of the report, defended it, saying that it was clear that the numbers were rough estimates. He said the report was aimed at world leaders, who will meet in Copenhagen in December to negotiate a new international climate treaty.

　　In a press release describing the report, Mr. Annan stressed the need for the negotiations to focus on increasing the flow of money from rich to poor regions to help reduce their vulnerability to climate hazards while still curbing

　　the emissions of the heat-trapping gases. More than 90% of the human and economic losses from climate change are occurring in poor countries, according to the report.

　　71.What is the finding of the Global Humanitarian Forum?

　　A．Global temperatures affect the rate of economic development.

　　B．Rates of death from illnesses have risen due to global warming.

　　C．Malnutrition has caused serious health problems in poor countries.

　　D．Economic trends have to do with population and natural disasters.

　　72. What do we learn about the Forum’s report from the passage?

　　A．It was challenged by some climate and risk experts.

　　B．It aroused a lot of interest in the scientific circles.

　　C．It was warmly received by environmentalists.

　　D．It caused a big stir in developing countries.

　　73. What does Dr. Pielke say about the Forum’s report?

　　A．Its statistics look embarrassing.

　　B．It is invalid in terms of methodology.

　　C．It deserves our closest attention.

　　D．Its conclusion is purposely exaggerated.

　　74. What is Soren Andreasen’s view of the report?

　　A．Its conclusions are based on carefully collected data.

　　B．It is vulnerable to criticism if the statistics are closely examined.

　　C．It will give rise to heated discussions at the Copenhagen conference.

　　D．Its rough estimates are meant to draw the attention of world leaders.

　　75.What does Kofi Annan say should be the focus of the Copenhagen conference?

　　A．How rich and poor regions can share responsibility in curbing global warming.

　　B．How human and economic losses from climate change can be reduced.

　　C．How emissions of heat-trapping gases can be reduced on a global scale.

　　D．How rich countries can better help poor regions reduce climate hazards.

　　Passage 4

　　Reaching new peaks of popularity in North America is Iceberg Water, which is harvested from icebergs off the coast of Newfoundland, Canada.

　　Arthur von Wiesenberger, who carries the title Water Master, is one of the few water critics in North America. As a boy, he spent time in the larger cities of Italy, France and Switzerland, where bottled water is consumed daily. Even then, he kept a water journal, noting the brands he liked best. “My dog could tell the difference between bottled and tap water,” He says.

　　But is plain tap water all that bad? Not at all. In fact, New York’s municipal water for more than a century was called the champagne of tap water and until recently considered among the best in the world in terms of both taste and purity. Similarly, a magazine in England found that tap water from the Thames River tasted better than several leading brands of bottled water that were 400 times more expensive.

　　Nevertheless, soft-drink companies view bottled water as the next battle-ground for market share―this despite the fact that over 25 percent of bottled water comes from tap water: PepsiCo’s Aquafina and Coca-Cola’s Dasani are both purified tap water rather than spring water.

　　As diners thirst for leading brands, bottlers and restaurateurs salivate (垂涎) over the profits. A restaurant’s typical mark-up on wine is 100 to 150 percent, whereas on bottled water it’s often 300 to 500 percent. But since water is much cheaper than wine, and many of the fancier brands aren’t available in stores, most diners don’t notice or care.

　　As a result, some restaurants are turning up the pressure to sell bottled water. According to an article in The Street Journal, some of the more shameless tactics include placing attractive bottles on the table for a visual sell, listing brands on the menu without prices, and pouring bottled water without even asking the diners if they want it.

　　Regardless of how it’s sold, the popularity of bottled water taps into our desire for better health, our wish to appear cultivated, and even a longing for lost purity.

　　Passage3答案解析：

　　71.B 细节题。由第一段Global warming is causing more than 300,000 deaths and about $125 billion in economic losses each year, according to a report by the Global Humanitarian Forum, an organization led by Annan, the former United Nations secretary general.可知B正确

　　72.A 细节题。根据文章第三段But even before its release, the report drew criticism from some experts on climate and risk, who questioned its methods and conclusions.

　　可知A正确。

　　73.B 细节题。由第五段2,3,4行the Forum’s report was “a methodological embarrassment” because there was no way to distinguish deaths or economic losses related to human-driven global warming amid the much larger losses resulting from the growth in populations and economic development in vulnerable (易受伤害的) regions.说明他认为他的研究是无效的。故B正确。

　　74.D 细节题。由根据第五段最后两行” But the report, he said, “will harm the cause for action on both climate change and disasters because it is so deeply flawed (有瑕疵的).”以及it was clear that the numbers were rough estimates. 可知D正确

　　75.D 细节题。有最后两段特别是More than 90% of the human and economic losses from climate change are occurring in poor countries, according to the report.可知D正确

　　本文主要讲述了气候变暖的几位专家的观点，并展开了议论。本文的障碍在于词汇方面，考生要能够在上下文的语境中猜测生词的意思，同时要有很强的归纳总结能力，从从字里行间中推断出对方所持的观点。

　　Passage4答案解析：

　　这篇文章分析了瓶装水在北美十分流行的原因。

　　文章开篇引题，以Iceberg Water为例，说明了瓶装水在北美的火热流行程度，为后文分析其流行的原因做好铺垫。第一段只有一句话，作者把reach谓语提前，使用倒装结构对Iceberg Water达到流行顶点这一事实进行强调，这样Iceberg Water置于句末，借以使用非限制性定语从句对这种瓶装水的来源进行描述。

　　第二段马上指出了瓶装水流行的原因，但这是借一位瓶装水专家之口来指出媒体普遍的观点：my dog could tell the difference between bottled and tap water，含义是瓶装水明显优于自来水。第二段的作用无疑是竖靶子以备批驳，第三段紧接着对这种观点进行了分析，并用源自泰晤士河的自来水比几种名牌瓶装水口感更佳为例进行了反驳。

　　在接下来的四段中，作者具体分析了瓶装水流行的真正原因。第四段有承上启下的作用，把百事和可口可乐公司作为例子，既以两家公司的瓶装水25%来源于自来水的事实继续反驳瓶装水优于自来水的观点，又以两家公司对瓶装水市场的重视引出瓶装水流行的真正原因。

　　第五、六段论证了售卖方式是瓶装水流行原因之一的观点，最后一段指出除售卖方式之外的其他原因(our desire for better health, our wish to appear cultivated, and even a longing for lost purity)。

　　76. What do we know about Iceberg Water from the passage?

　　A) It is a kind of iced water.

　　B) It is just plain tap water.

　　C) It is a kind of bottled water.

　　D) It is a kind of mineral water.(C)

　　本题问从文章可知Iceberg Water指的是什么。

　　文章在开头即提到了Iceberg Water，讲到它在北美的人气达到了新的高度，其源头是取自取自加拿大纽芬兰的冰川。从全篇来看，本文以瓶装水为论述的核心，说明其在当今社会的火爆程度，这与开头所述Iceberg Water人气达到新高的叙述意义一致。而在提到Iceberg Water之后的第二段，文章紧接着介绍了一位瓶装水专业人士对瓶装水流行原因的看法。由此来看，Iceberg Water很可能是一种瓶装水，文章以它来开头有引出论题的作用。

　　A说是一种冰水，B说是一种普通自来水，C说是一种瓶装水，D说是一种矿物质水。

　　C是正确答案。

　　77. By saying “My dog could tell the difference between bottled and tap water” (Line 4 Para. 2), von Wiesenberger wants to convey the message that ________.

　　A) plain tap water is certainly unfit for drinking

　　B) bottled water is clearly superior to tap water

　　C) bottled water often appeals more to dogs taste

　　D) dogs can usually detect a fine difference in taste

　　这句话的意义必须结合上下文来理解。这句话出现在第二段，这一段的意思是：

　　Wiesenberger享有饮用水大师的称号，且是北美不多的几位饮用水评论家之一。他小时候曾居住在意大利、法国和瑞士较大的城市中，在这些地方，人们每天都要消费瓶装水。他在那时就订了一份饮用水杂志，留心记下他最喜爱的瓶装水牌子。“我的狗都能分出瓶装水跟自来水的区别。”他说道。

　　从这段描述中可以看出，这位饮用水大师自小就对瓶装水兴趣浓厚，甚至为了追踪最喜爱的牌子特意保有一份水杂志。作者的这些叙述显然传达了一个信息：瓶装水可谓是此人的至爱。那么在这种隐含意义下，他所说的瓶装水与自来水的区别决不真正是二者的实在区别，而是要突出瓶装水要优于自来水;连狗都能分辨这种区别，这是一种夸张说法，意在表明二者的差距之大。

　　A， 自来水当然不适合饮用。从全文给出的信息来看，自来水是适合引用的，句意本身错误，同时也不符合该句的真实含义。

　　B， 瓶装水显而易见地要优于自来水。此说法与前面的分析一致，是正确的。

　　C，瓶装水常常更符合狗的口味。Wiesenberger提到狗只是为了起到夸张的效果，并不是瓶装水真的更符合狗的口味。

　　D，狗一般能靠味觉发现细微的差别。此项犯的错误与C一样。

　　78. The “fancier brands” (Line 3 Para. 5) refers to ________.

　　A) tap water from the Thames RierB) famnus gins not sold in ordinary stres

　　C) PepsC聯’s Aquafana andCocamCml聡’S Dasani

　　D) expenive bottled wate2 職thimpressive nams

　　题目问fancie brands指的是俀么。

　　Fancir应该是fancy的比较级，fancy有“别臔、价格高昂的”的意思，frand指品牌。理覣它凷体的含义还是要看上下斏。耍#P#

　　这个词组出现在A restaurant’s typical mark-up on wine is 100 to 150 percent, whereas on bottled water it’s often 300 to 500 percent. But since water is much cheaper than wine, and many of the fancier brands aren’t available in stores, most diners don’t notice or care一句中，意思是：饭店一般把酒价标高100%到150%，而瓶装水常常会达到300%到500%。不过水要比酒便宜得多，同时许多fancier brands在商店里买不到，因此用餐者就没有注意或者并不在乎。

　　从最后一句结论可以推测，fancier brands很有可能是更贵的水品牌，因为如果这些奢侈牌子在商店里买不到，人们就无从知道它的合理价格，即便到了饭店以高价挨宰(标高500%)，他们也并不知情，也就注意不到或不会在乎。只有这样逻辑才能通顺。四个选项分别是：

　　A， 源自泰晤士河的自来水

　　B， 不在普通商店中出售的名牌葡萄酒。

　　C，百事的Aquafina和可口可乐的Dasani。

　　D，拥有别致名字的昂贵瓶装水。

　　四个选项中D符合上文的分析。

　　79. Why are some restaurants turning up the pressure to sell bottled water?

　　A) Bottled water brings in huge profits.

　　B) Competition from the wine industry is intense.

　　C) Most diners find bottled water affordable.

　　D) Bottled water satisfied diners’ desire to fashionable

　　首先了解turn up the pressure的意思，turn up有“提高”的意思，如turn up the radio，提高收音机的音量。turn up the pressure就是加大压力、加大力度的`意思。这样题意就是“一些饭店加大力度售卖瓶装水的原因是什么”。

　　文中有As a result, some restaurants are turning up the pressure to sell bottled water一句，as a result是“所以、因此”的意思，说明前文已经说明了加大力度的原因，答案需要到前一段去找。

　　上一段首先提到饭店对销售品牌瓶装水的利润垂涎三尺(restaurateurs salivate over the profits)，而后具体说明了其之所以能实现超额利润的原因：消费者对瓶装水合理价格水平一无所知。由此可以推断，饭店大力售卖瓶装水的原因就应该是高额利润的诱使。

　　A，瓶装水可以带来巨额利润。符合上面的分析。

　　B，来自酒业的竞争十分激烈。文中提到酒业(typical mark-up on wine is 100 to 150 percent)只是为了突出瓶装水的利润丰厚，没有提到二者存在竞争问题。

　　C，大多数就餐者认为瓶装水的`价格可以接受。文中提到就餐者对价格的反应时是这样叙述的：most diners don’t notice or care，意思是他们不知道瓶装水的真实价格，因此没有注意或不在乎。但饭店老板不会因为自己商品的价格可以被消费者接受而热衷于售卖，这个价格中含有暴利才是原因。

　　D，瓶装水满足了就餐者喜欢时尚的需求。文章最后一段解释了瓶装水流行的其他原因，其中有它满足了our wish to appear cultivated，与D的说法稍有接近，但这是从消费者的角度进行的分析，不是饭店老板热衷于售卖瓶装水的原因。

　　80. According to passage, why is bottled water so popular?

　　A) It is much cheaper than wine.

　　B) It is considered healthier.

　　C) It appeals to more cultivated people.

　　D) It is more widely promoted in the market.

　　题目问根据文意瓶装水为什么如此流行。

　　文章的最后一段对此做出了说明，直译如下：

　　不算其销售方式，饮用瓶装水能够满足我们对健康的更高追求，满足对更有教养的形象的追求，甚至对水的纯净度的追求。

　　从这段话可以看出，销售方式(how it’s sold，即第五六、段的分析)是瓶装水流行的一个因素，此外就是文末的三种因素：更高健康、更好形象和纯净度。

　　A认为原因是瓶装水比酒便宜。这是第五段的内容：water is much cheaper than wine，不过这里提到水更便宜是为了解释人们为何没有注意到瓶装水价格的虚高。

　　B认为原因是人们认为它更为健康，符合另三种因素的第一个：更高健康。

　　C认为原因是它能吸引更有教养的人。文中所说的对更有教养的形象的追求(our wish to appear cultivated)，是指一个人企望比以前的自己显得更有教养，而不是瓶装水对更有教养的人群的吸引力比对一般教养的人吸引力更大。

　　D认为原因是它在市场中得到了更大的推广。瓶装水得到了更大的推广，其意思等同于瓶装水流行，一个句子不能用它本身来解释本身。

　　The Attitude toward Crisis

　　In our life, there is not always plain road and we may confront various crises such as disease, accident, lost the way and so on. Toward these crises, different people have different attitudes.

　　Some people choose to face it directly and bravely. They believe that the difficulties and cries, taking disease as example, can be defeat by their intelligence and bravery. Also the advanced high-tech can help them come over the crisis. While the others think that it is so big that the crisis can not be solved. So they give up to fight against it and yield without any effort.

　　As for me, we must face the crisis bravely and fight against it. For example, some students failed in one exam. Some cried and sad, but some one made up his mind to study hard from then on. I stand on the side of the latter. Only can you change the sorrow into power, you can be winner before the crisis.
