kkuw2002年英语四级考试模拟试题gqnc 好文章 Part II Reading Comprehension (35 minutes) Directions: There are four reading passages in this part. Each passage is followed by some questions. For each question there are four suggested answers marked A, B, C and D. You should choose the one best answer and blacken the corresponding letter on the ANSWER SHEET with a pencil. Children are a relatively modern invention. Until a few hundred years ago they look like adult, wearing grown-up clothes and grown-up expressions, performing grown-up tasks. Children did not exist because the family as we know it had not evolved. Children today not only exist; they have taken over, in no place more than in America, and at on time more than now. It is always Kids' Country here. Our civilization is child-centered, child-obsessed. A kid's body is our physical ideal. In Kids' Country we do not permit middle-aged. Thirty is promoted over 50, but 30 knows that soon his time to be overtaken will come. We are the first society in which parents expect to learn from their children. Such a topsy-turvy situation has come to abort at least in part because, unlike the rest of the world, ours is an immigrant society, and for immigrants the only hope is in the kids. In the Old Country, that is, Europe, hope was in the father, and how much wealth he could accumulate and pass along to his children. In the growth pattern of America and its ever-expanding frontier, the young man was ever advised to GO WEST; the father was ever inheriting from his son. Kid's Country may be the inevitable result. Kid's Country is not all bad. America is the greatest country in the world to grow up in because it is Kid's Country. We not only wear kids' clothes and eat kids' food; we dream kids' dreams and make them come true. It was, after all, a boys' game to go to the moon. If in the old days children did not exist, it seems equally true today that adults, as a class, have begun to disappear, condemning all of us to remain boys and girls forever, jogging and doing push-ups against eternity. 21. The author uses the example of the Renaissance painting to show that. A. adults showed less concern for children than we do now B. adults were smaller and thinner at that time, but they still had lots of work to do C. children looked and acted like adults at that time D. children were not permitted to appear in family paintings at that time 22. In the third paragraph, “the Old Country" is contrasted with America . A. to show differences in family size B. to show differences in attitudes towards family relations C. to show two kinds of geography D. to show two different kinds of economic relations between generations 1 好文章 好文章 23. Going to the moon is an example of . A. America's dreams and creativity B. America's childish and queer behavior C. Why America hasn't grown up D. Why America is considered as the greatest country in the world 24. According to the passage, which of the following is true? A. It is very difficult for the middle-aged to live in America B. America is Kid's Country because the majority of the American population are children C. Kid's Country was taking shape in America when immigrants poured into the country. D. America is more of Kid's Country than any other countries in the world 25. By saying “condemning all of us to remain boys and girls forever, jogging and doing push-ups against eternity", the author means that . A. she thinks people shouldn't be so concerned about physical fitness B. she feels too old and tired to do such hard exercise C. American society is overemphasizing youth and physical appearance D. What happened to children centuries ago may occur to adults in America soon Passage 2 The modern age is an age of electricity. People are so used to electric lights, radios, televisions, and telephones that it is hard to imagine what life would be like without them. When there is a power failure, people grope about in flickering candlelight, cars hesitate in the streets because there are no traffic lights to guide them, and food spoils in silent refrigerators. Yet people began to understand how electricity works only a little more than two centuries ago. Nature has apparently been experimenting in this field for millions of years. Scientists are discovering more and more that the living world may hold many interesting secrets of electricity that could benefit humanity. All living cells sent out tiny pulses of electricity. As the heart beats, it sends out pulses that can be measured and recorded on the surface of the body. When the pulses are recorded, they form an electrocardiogram, which a doctor can study to determine how well the heart is working. The brain, too, sends out brain waves of electricity, which can be recorded in an electroencephalogram, The electric currents generated by most living cells are extremely small-often so small that sensitive instruments are needed to record them. But in some animals, certain muscled cells have become so specialized as electrical generators that they do not work as muscle cells at all. When large numbers of these cells are linked together, the effect can be astonishing. The electric eel is an amazing living storage battery. It can send a jolt of as much as eight hundred volts of electricity through the water in which it lives. (An electric house current is only one hundred twenty volts.) As many as four-fifths of all the cells in the electric eel's body are specialized for generating electricity, and the strength of the shock it can deliver corresponds roughly to the length of its body. 2 好文章 好文章 26. What is the main idea of the passage ? A. Electric eels are potentially dangerous. B. Biology and electricity appear to be closely related. C. People would be at a loss without electricity. D. Scientists still have much to discover about electricity. 27. The author mentions all of the following as results of a blackout EXCEPT . A. refrigerated food item may go bad B. traffic lights do not work C. people must rely on candlelight D. elevators and escalators do not function 28. Why does the author mention electric eels? A. To warn the reader to stay away from them. B. To compare their voltage to that used in houses. C. To give an example of a living electrical generator. D. To describe a new source of electrical power. 29. How many volts of electricity can an electric eel emit? A. 1,000. B. 800. C. 200. D. 120. 30. It can be inferred from the passage that the longer an eel is the . A. more beneficial it will be to science B. more powerful will be its electrical charge C. easier it will be to find D. tougher it will be to eat Passage 3 American Scientists have developed a new kind of wire that can carry telephone messages for long distances. The new fluoride glass wire, or optical fibre, is a major improvement over the optical fibres now used in many modern communication systems. Present optical fibres are made from silica glass. They are not costly to produce, but the signals carried by these silica optical fibres weaken very quickly. A repeater device must be built every 50 kilometers to increase or amplify the signals' strength. Such repeater devices are costly and they need electrical power. This creates special problems for optical fibre systems that cross oceans. Long copper wires are needed to carry electricity from shore to repeater devices under the ocean. Repairing the underwater repeaters is costly and takes much time. The new fluoride optical fibre is only a little bigger around than a human hair, yet each could 3 好文章 好文章 carry 10,000 telephone messages at one time for thousands of kilometers. Traditional copper telephone wires can carry only 4 messages. And unlike present silica optical fibres, the new fluoride glass wires could carry messages for thousands of kilometers with very few, if any, repeater devices. The navy scientists developed the new optical fibres for systems that cross oceans, but they said there also would be many other uses for the fluoride glass wires. The new optical wires could be used for long-distance temperature sensing devices. They could be used in some medical operations. Scientists caution that the new fluoride optical fibre still is only experiment. Researchers have not yet been able to make long tiny wires from fluoride glass. 31. Which of the following statements is not true? A. Silica optical fibres are not expensive to produce. B. Signals carried by silica optical fibres are rather weak. C. Additional devices are needed for present optical fibre/fiber systems. D. Repeaters bring about special problems for transoceanic communications. 32. The major advantage of fluoride optical fibres/fibers over silica wires is that fluoride glass . A. needs much fewer, if any, repeaters B. carries more telephone messages C. is less costly to produce D. is tinier 33. The new glass wire was designed for . A. communications systems that cross oceans B. long-distance temperature sensing devices C. some medical operations D. replacing silica optical fibres 34. The fluoride optical fibres is experimental because the new glass wire made so for . A. is quite expensive B. can not yet carry enormous messages C. still needs repeaters D. is not long enough 35. The author's main idea is that . A. present optical fibres are made from silica glass B. silica optical fibres need repeaters to amplify the signals carried C. American scientists have developed a new glass wire to carry long-distance telephone messages D. the new optical fiber had many uses 4 好文章 好文章 Passage 4 There is no doubt that adults, and even highly educated adults, vary greatly in the speed and efficiency of their reading. Some proceed very slowly throughout; others dash along too quickly and then have to regress. Poor readers in particular may lack the ability to vary their manner of reading according to the type of reading matter and to their intentions in reading it. A good reader can move at great speed through the text of a novel or similar light reading matter. He may be able to skim a page, picking up a word or two here and there, and gain a general idea of what the text is about without really reading it. In reading more difficult material, with the intention of taking in the whole of it, he will proceed more slowly, but even then he will vary his pace, concentrating on the key words and passages, perhaps re-reading them several times and pass more quickly over the remainder. A less efficient reader tends to maintain the same speed whatever the material he reads. Consequently, even light reading matter gives him little pleasure because he reads so slowly. But this pace may be too fast for really difficult material which requires special concentration at difficult points. A type of reading which necessitates careful attention to detail is proofreading, in which the reader, in order to detect misprints in a sample print, has to notice not so much the meaning of what he reads as the exact shape and order of letters and words in the text. This is extremely difficult for most people, since they are accustomed to overlooking such details. In fact, considerable practice is required to practise this task efficiently and it can be done only be reading very slowly, and by paying comparatively little attention to the general meaning of the text. 36. The author claims that there is a difference in reading speed . A. among readers who have different experience. B. among all the readers. C. between the poorly educated and the highly educated. D. among the highly educated people 37. A good reader is a reader who . A. concentrates on the wonderful part of the article B. always reads slowly and carefully C. changes his speed according to the kind of text D. changes his speed according to the interesting of the text. 38. The author says that when reading a novel, a good reader can quickly read . A. every part of the book B. the most wonderful part in the book. C. the major part in the book D. the scientific part of the book. 39. The last two sentences of the first paragraph mean that . A. a reading speed too slow for a difficult book is just right for a non-serious one. B. a reading speed too slow for a non-serious book may be too fast for a difficult one. C. A reading speed too fast for difficult material is just right for a non-serious book is also too slow for a difficult one. 5 好文章 好文章 D. A reading speed too slow for a non-serious book is also too slow for a difficult one. 40. Which of the following can be the title of the passage? A. Reading and listening B. Difference between highly-educated and poorly educated C. Practice reading skill D.

B Part II Reading Comprehension (35 minutes) Directions:There are four reading passages in this part. Each passage is followed by some questions. For each question there are four suggested answers marked A,B,C and D. You should choose the One best answer and blacken the corresponding letter on the ANSWER SHEET with a pencil. Passage 1 By the time the Olympics begin in Atlanta this summer, the business world will have spent more than $ 1 billion to link their names and products to the Olympic Games. There are 10 Worldwide Sponsors, 10 Centennial Olympic Partners, about 20 regular sponsors and more than a hundred licensees. The Atlanta Games will boast an “official" scouring pad and timepiece, two official game shows, and three official vehicles: a family car, an import minivan and a luxury sedan. But what exactly do these companies reap for their huge investment? At the very least, they command tickets to the most popular events, invitations to the best parties and prime hotel rooms. But most of all, according to US Postal Service, it is purchasing the right to spend money. 10 好文章 好文章 And the right to spend money is expensive. The biggest backers, Olympic sponsors like Anheuser-Busch, Coca-Cola, Mcdonald's and Xerox, commit up to $ 40 million. But, getting the rights to the Olympic rings is only half the battle. The other half is the challenge to sort of wrap their product brands around that image. Often that means TV time. And at roughly $ 400 000 per 30-second spot, some of the biggest sponsors have already locked up every commercial slot in their product categories that NBC has to sell. Not everyone is convinced that the Games are worth the price of business admission. The biggest and most conspicuous naysayer is Nike. Its spokesman says:“If I see a Reebok official who may not be in the best shape firing the starting pistol and Carl Lewis wearing Nike shoes, I'm going to go with Carl because that's the authentic link." Nike's strategy is hard to argue with - instead of sponsoring the Olympics, it sponsors Olympians. Yet even Nike wants a piece of the Atlantic action. Along with some other nonsponsors, Nike is trying to dot downtown Atlanta with billboards. Advertisement, it's another Olympic event. 1. By “official vehicles", the author means . A. automobiles for Olympic officials B. automobiles used in official occasion C. automobiles that the Olympic participants must drive D. automobiles that allowed to bear the Olympic symbol 2. Which of the following is not an Olympic sponsor? A. US Postal Service. B. Nike. C. Coca-Cola. D. Mcdonald's 3. The last sentence of this passage indicates . A. businesses trying to get publicity is a part of the Olympic Games B. what the Olympic non-sponsors do is of no interest to the Olympic organizers C. that businesses must try very hard to earn money from the Olympic Games as if they were themselves competing in the Games D. that those who fail to sponsor the Olympics this time will try very hard the next time 4. Which of the following is NOT implied in the passage ? A. Companies use their Olympic sponsorship to promote sales of their products. B. To provide sportswear for Carl Lewis is a more effective advertisement than to provide suits for Olympic officials. C. NBC makes great profits from selling advertising time to companies eager to impress potential customers during the Olympic Games. D. Nike looks down upon the Olympic Games. 5. Which of the following can best sum up the passage? A. Businesses want to profit from the Olympics. B. The 1996 Atlanta Olympic Games. 11 好文章 好文章 C. The Olympic sponsorship. D. Importance of the Olympic Games. Passage 2 Halloween(October 31) This is a holiday widely celebrated with different names in many countries. Although it originated as a religious holiday, it has lost its religious connections in the United States. It is now celebrated largely as a children's day, and many American children look forward to it for days and weeks beforehand. The orange pumpkin is harvested at this time of year and is hollowed out, a funny face cut into it, and a candle placed inside as a decoration in the window. City folks, nowadays, sometimes use paper pumpkins for decorations. Some years ago, the holiday was celebrated by dressing up in strange and frightening costumes and playing tricks on one's neighbors and friends, such as ringing door bells, throwing bits of corn on the window panes, and in other ways making minor disturbances. More recently, children come to the door to have friends and neighbors admire their costumes and guess who they are behind the false faces and receive treats of candy, fruit or cookies. They say, “Trick or Treat", meaning, “I will play a trick on you will not give me a treat." This practice has even more recently developed into a significant international activity. Instead of or along with candy, the children collect money for UNICEF (United Nations International Children's Emergency Fund). This special collection of money by children for needy children throughout the world is known as “UNICEF Trick of Treat". Begun only recently, it results in several million dollars each year contributed to UNICEF. The collection box is orange, reminiscent of the pumpkin. 6. What cloes Holloween originate from? A. a chilolren's day B. a trick or treat C. a religious day D. a day for UNI CEF 7. Which of the following is not mentioned some years ago how the children celebrate the Halloween? A. Dressing up in strange and frightening costumes and playing tricks on one's neighbors friends. B. Ringing door bells. C. Throwing bits of corn on the window panes. D. Dressing up in the best holiday clothes. 8. Which of the following is not used in the Halloween celebration? A. Pumpkin B. Candle C. Costume D. Flower 12 好文章 好文章 9.

They want to help other children. 10. What is the symbol of Halloween? A. Pumpkin. B. Candle. C. Laughter D. Money. Passage 3 International airlines have rediscovered the business travelers, the man or woman who regularly jets from country to country as part of the job. This does not necessarily mean that airlines ever abandoned their business travelers. Indeed, companies like Lufthansa and Swissair would rightly argue that they have always catered best for the executive class passengers. But many lines could be accused of concentrating too heavily in the recent past on attracting passengers by volume, often at the expense of regular travelers. Too often, they have seemed geared for quantity rather than quality. Operating a major airline in the 1980s is essentially a matter of finding the right mix of passengers. The airlines need to fill up the back end of their wide-bodied jets with low fare passengers, without forgetting that the front end should be filled with people who pay substantially more for their tickets. It is no coincidence that the two major airline bankruptcies in 1982 were among the companies specializing in cheap flights. But low fares require consistently full aircraft to make flights economically viable, and in the recent recession the volume of traffic has not grown. Equally the large number of airlines jostling for the available passengers has created a huge excess of capacity. The net result of excess capacity and cut-throat competition driving down fares has been to push some airlines into collapse and leave many others hovering on the brink. Against this grim background, it is no surprise that airlines are turning increasingly towards the business travelers to improve their rates of return. They have invested much time and effort to establish exactly what the executive demands for sitting apart from the tourists. High on the list of priorities is punctuality; an executive's time is money. In-flight service is another area where the airlines are jostling for the executive's attention. The free drinks and headsets and better food are all part of the lure. 11. One criticism against many international airlines is that they have, in the recent past, . A. catered for the more wealthy people B. given preferential treatment to executive clients C. only met the needs of the regular traveler D. marketed their service with the masses in mind 12. With the intention of attracting a somewhat different type of passenger, the airlines have now begun to concentrate on . 13 好文章 好文章 A. ensuring that the facilities offered to the executive are indeed superior B. providing facilities enabling business travelers to work on board C. organizing activities in which first-class passengers can participate D. installing sleeping compartments where more privacy is ensured 13. From the passage we can infer that . A. a successful airline in the 1980s meets the needs not only of the masses but also of the wealthy passengers B. it is more comfortable to sit in the back of jet planes C. business travelers dislike tourists D. only by specializing in cheap flights can airlines avoid bankruptcy. 14. In Paragraph 5. “in-flight service" means . A. Service on the plane B. A new safety device C. Flights within one country D. Charge-free air service 15. The following are all used to attract passengers except . A. punctuality B. sound system C. free drinks D. charge-free food Passage 4 In only two decades Asian-American have become the fastest-growing US minority. As their children began moving up through the nation's schools, it became clear that a new class of academic achievers was emerging. Their achievements are reflected in the nation's best universities, where mathematics, science and engineering departments have taken on a decidedly Asian character. (This special liking for mathematics and science is partly explained by the fact that Asian-American students who began their education abroad arrived in the U.S. with a solid grounding in mathematics but little or no knowledge of English.) They are also influenced by the promise of a good job after college. Asians feel there will be less unfair treatment in areas like mathematics and science because they will be judged more immediate in something like engineering than with an arts degree. Most Asian-American students owe their success to the influence of parents who are determined that their children take full advantage of what the American educational system has to offer. An effective measure of parental attention is homework. Asian parents spend more time with their children than American parents do, and it helps. Many researchers also believe there is something in Asian culture that breeds success, such as ideals that stress family values and emphasize education. Both explanations for academic success worry Asian-Americans because of fears that they feed a typical racial image. Many can remember when Chinese, Japanese and Filipino immigrants were the victims of social isolation. Indeed, it was not until 1952 that laws were laid down giving 14 好文章 好文章 all Asian immigrants the right to citizenship. 16. While making tremendous achievements at college, Asian-American students . A. feel they are mistreated because of limited knowledge of English. B. are afraid that their academic successes bear a strong Asian character C. still worry about unfair treatment in society D. generally feel it a shame to have to depend on their parents 17. What are the major factors that determine the success of Asian-Americans? A. A solid foundation in basic mathematics and Asian culture. B. Hard work and intelligence. C. Hard help and a limited knowledge of English. D. Asian culture and the American educational system. 18. Few Asian-American students major in human sciences mainly because . A. their English is not good enough. B. they are afraid they might meet with unfair judgment in these areas C. there is a wide difference between Asian and Western cultures D. they know little about American culture and society 19. Why do the two “explanations" (Para. 3, Line 1) worry Asian-Americans? A. They are afraid that they would again be isolated from American society in general. B. People would think that Asian students rely on their parents for success. C. Asian-Americans would be a threat to other minorities. D. American academic achievements have taken on too strong at Asian character. 20. The author's tone in this passage is . A. sympathetic B. doubtful C. critical D. objective Part III Vocabulary and Structure (20 minutes) Directions: There are 30 incomplete sentences in this part.

Each passage is followed by some questions. For each question there are four suggested answers marked A,B,C and D.You should choose the One best answer and blacken the corresponding letter on the ANSWER SHEET with a pencil. Passage 1 21 好文章 好文章 David Thomson is an electronics technician, trained by the U.S. Navy, wrist is surrounded by a force field that can broadcast emotions to other human beings. The ability to receive such force fields, Thomson believes, explains how one can sense another's fear, nervousness, aggression, panic, or friendliness. This theory of emotional communication occurred to Thomson when he told a psychiatrist(精神病医生), Dr. Jack Ward, that he was certain his own hypertension(高血压，过度紧张) made those near him uncomfortable. To demonstrate the theory, Thomson constructed a transmitter capable of generating an electromagnetic field similar to that of a man beset by hyper anxiety(过度焦虑). For a year, with this in his pocket, Thomson made people miserable. He would find a hungry man delightedly preparing to eat a steak in a restaurant, turn on the transmitter, and watch as the man became tense and irritable and finally left with his steak uneaten. In another test, Thomson cleared a crowded room in fifteen minutes. Such an exodus(出去) could not be due, Thomson observed, to personality problems alone. Dr. Ward, who had become Thomson's partner, insisted that there was already misery enough in the worlD.Thomson fashioned a "happiness transmitter," which can duplicate the force field of a contented man. University psychologists in the United States report some encouraging results in current tests of the Thomson-and-Ward transmitter. The "happiness machine" has many possibilities. Thomson has speculated on its use near disturbed or anxious patients in hospitals, and in unruly crowds. Tranquility(平静), like panic and violence, may be contagions(传染性的). 1. The theory is based on belief in the existence of . A.complicated equipment B. individual force fields C. nervousness D.aggression 2. The theory occurred to Thomson because he was convinced that people near him . A.could hypnotize him B. could make him feel uncomfortable C. were reading his thoughts D were affected by his hypertension 3. For his first demonstrations, Thomson chose people who . A.were in a happy mood B. seemed hyper anxious C. were aggressive D.Both B and C 4. The Thomson-and-Ward transmitter was constructed because . A.university psychologists suggested it 22 好文章 好文章 B. the "misery machine" had not worked C. Dr. Ward felt there was misery enough D.Police forces asked for it 5. Thomson has speculated on . A.some helpful uses of a "happiness machine" B. possible wrongful uses of a "happiness machine" C. the disadvantages of a tranquil population D.the final report on the psychologists' tests Passage 2 Just 30 years ago some 700 million people lived in cities. Today the number stands at 1,800 million, and by the end of the century it will to 3,000 million—more than half the world's estimated population. By the year 2000 an estimated 650 million people will crowd into 60 cities of five million or more—three quarters of them in the developing worl D.Only a single First World city—metropolitan Tokyo, which will have 24 million people—is expected to be among the global top five; London, ranked second in 1950 with ten million people, will not even make 2000's top 25.In places where rates of natural population increase exceed three per cent annually—meaning much of the Third World—that alone is enough to double a city's population within 20 years. But equally powerful are the streams of hopeful migrants from the countryside. What faces and confuses urban planners is the huge scale of these trends. There have never been cities of 30 million people, let alone ones dependent on roads, sewer and water supplies barely adequate for urban areas a tenth that size. And the flood of new arrivals in swelling Third World cities far overtakes the supply of jobs—particularly as modern industries put a premium on technology rather than manpower. So it will be virtually impossible to find permanent employment for 30 to 40 per cent of the 1,000 million new city inhabitants expected by the year 2000. Despite the terrible conditions that the city newcomers face, their numbers are growing at rates as much as twice that of the cities themselves—and every step taken to improve their living conditions in the slums only attracts more migrants. 6. Which of the following is the main topic of this passage? A.The increase of world population. B. The improvement of urban living conditions. C. The migrants from the countryside and their unemployment. D.The expansion of cities and its consequences. 7. The author uses Tokyo as an example mainly to show that . A.the biggest cities will still be in First World countries B. its development speed will be greater than that of London C. most of the biggest cities will be in the Third World countries D.Japanese will keep control of the growth of big cities such as Tokyo 23 好文章 好文章 8.

D.The poor countries will suffer more from the expansion of cities by 2000. 9. According to the last paragraph, all of the following are true EXCEPT that . A.development of modern technology will reduce the use of manpower B. urban planers will have no past experiences to borrow C. the growth of urban population is faster than that of cities D.the improvement of urban living conditions is to attract more migrants from the countryside 10. The expression “put a premium on" in Paragraph 3 can best be replaced by . A.are in need of B. devote much attention to C. have no lack of D.think little of Passage 3 For some time past it has been widely accepted that babies—and other creatures—learn to do things because certain acts lead to “rewards"; and there is no reason to doubt that this is true. But it used also to be widely believed that effective rewards, at least in the early stages, had to be directly related to such basic physiological “drives" as thirst or hunger. In other words, a baby would learn if he got food or drink, some sort of physical comfort, not otherwise. It is now clear that this is not so. Babies will learn to behave in ways that produce results in the world with no reward except the successful outcome. Papousek began his studies by using milk in the normal way to “reward" the babies and so teach them to carry out some simple movements, such as turning the head to one side or the other. Then he noticed that a baby who had had enough to drink would refuse the milk but would still go on making the learned response with clear signs of pleasure. So he began to study the children's response in situation where no milk was provideD.He quickly found that children as young as four months would learn to turn their heads to right or left if the movement “switched on" a display of lights - and indeed that they were capable of learning quite complex turns to bring about this result, for instance, two left or two right, or even to make as many as three turns to one side. Papousek's light display was placed directly in front of the babies and he made the interesting observation that sometimes they would turn back to watch the lights closely although they would “smile and bubble" when the display came on. Papousek concluded that it was not primarily the sight of the lights that pleased them, it was the success they were achieving in solving the problem, in mastering the skill, and that there exists a fundamental human urge to make sense of the world 24 好文章 好文章 and bring it under intentional control. 11. According to the author, babies learn to do things which . A.are directly related to pleasure B. will meet their physical needs C. will bring them a feeling of success D.will satisfy their curiosity 12. Papousek noticed in his studies that a baby . A.would make learned response when it saw the milk B. would carry out learned movements when it had enough to drink C. would continue the simple movements without being given milk D.would turn its head to right or left when it had enough to drinkf. 13. In Papousek's experiment babies make learned movements of the head in order to . A.have the lights turned on B. be rewarded with milk C. please their parents D.be praised 14. The babies would “smile and bubble" at the lights because . A.the lights were directly related to some basic “drives" B. the sight of the lights was interesting C. they need not turn back to watch the lights D.they succeeded in “switching on" the lights 15. According to Papousek, the pleasure babies get in achieving something is a reflection of . A.a basic human desire to understand and control the world B. the satisfaction of certain physiological needs C. their strong desire to solve complex problems D.a fundamental human urge to display their learned skills Passage 4 In recent years many countries of the world have been faced with the problem of how to make their workers more productive. Some experts claim the answer is to make jobs more varieD.But do more varied jobs lead to greater productivity? There is evidence to suggest that while variety certainly makes the workers' life more enjoyable, it does not actually make him work harder. As far as increasing productivity is concerned, the variety is not an important factor. Other experts feel that giving the worker freedom to do his job in his own way is important and there is no doubt that this is true. The problem is that this kind of freedom cannot easily be given in the modern factory with its complicated machinery which must be used in a fixed way. Thus while freedom of choice may be important, there is usually very little that can be done to 25 好文章 好文章 create it. Another important consideration is how much each worker contributes to the product he is making. In most factories the worker sees only one small part of the product. Some car factories are now experimenting with having many small production lines rather than one large one, so that each worker contributes more to the production of the cars on his line. It would seem that not only is the degree of workers' contribution an important factor, therefore, but it is also one we can do something about. To what extent more money led to greater productivity? The workers themselves certainly think this is important. But perhaps they want more money only because the work they do is so boring. Money just lets them enjoy their spare time more. A similar argument may explain demands for shorter working hours. Perhaps if we succeed in making their jobs more interesting, they will neither want more money, nor will shorter working hours be so important to them. 16. Which of these possible factors leading to greater productivity is not true? A.To make jobs more varied. B. To give the worker freedom to do his job in his own way. C. Degree of work contribution. D.Demands for longer working hours. 17. Why workers want more money? A.Because their jobs are too boring. B. In order to enjoy more spare time. C. To make their jobs more interesting. D.To demand shorter working hours. 18. The last sentence in this passage means that if we succeed in making workers' jobs more interesting . A.they will want more money B. they will demand shorter working hours C. more money and shorter working hours are important factors D.more money and shorter working hours will not be so important to them 19. In this passage, the author tells us . A.how to make the workers more productive B. possible factors leading to greater efficiency C. to what extent more money lead to greater productivity D.how to make workers' jobs more interesting 20.

Each passage is followed by some questions. For each question there are four suggested answers marked A,B,C and D, you should choose the One best answer and blacken the corresponding letter on the ANSWER SHEET with a pencil. Passage 1 Legal and accounting firms throughout Australia could streamline their advice to clients seeking a divorce with a new expert program that “thinks" like Family Court judges. The software package, appropriately called “Split UP" was developed by Dr. John Zeleznikow and a team of researchers in La Trobe University's Department of Computer Science. It is the first in the world designed to weigh up court judgments in previous cases to predict the way property would be divided for a particular divorce if proceeded to court. While anyone can get a divorce, the rules on the division of property are up to the judge. 33 好文章 好文章 Deciding who gets what is a complex procedure based on future needs and past contributions. Split up, which can be installed on any PC, asks a sequence of relevant questions about the health, work history, children, property and future needs of the partners in a divorce. It then decides what percentage allocation to each partner would be in court and provides a series of arguments in favour of the decision. Its major advantage, says Dr. Zeleznikow, is that people are less likely to litigate once they know the likely court outcome. “Let's say the program predicts that each partner will get $250 000 from a property settlement. If they go to court the cost to each could be $ 50 000 to litigate. This is a powerful incentive to negotiate instead." The La Trobe research team has attracted international attention for its devleopment of systems which can reason with both statutes (rules) and precedents (cases). The systems are being used in fields which include legal aid and credit law. 1. in the passage means “previous cases”. A. Statutes B. Precedents C. Clients D. Incentives 2. What is not taken into consideration during a divorce case? A. The family house. B. The bank deposit. C. The time duration of the marriage. D. Children's education. 3. Split Up can do all but . A. to persuade the judge that its decision is the right one B. to recall past divorce cases when necessary C. to seek and then process the information it need D. to do complex calculation and reasoning 4. The second “it" in ParA. 3 refers to . A. the software B. a previous case C. the way the property would be divided D. a particular divorce 5. What is NOT implied in the passage? A. Family Law Court judges judge according to both rules and precedents. B. If the parties in a divorce know they will not profit from a lawsuit, they would settle outside the court. 34 好文章 好文章 C. There is clear-cut law on how to divide property between parties in a divorce. D. Split Up will help reduce the number of divorce cases presented in court. Passage 2 The producers of instant coffee found their product strongly resisted in the market places despite their product's obvious advantages. Furthermore, the advertising expenditure for instant coffee was far greater than that for regular coffee. Efforts were made to find the cause of the consumers seemingly unreasonable resistance to the product. The reason given by most people was dislike for the taste. The producer suspected that there might be deeper reasons, however. This was confirmed by one of motivation research's classic studies, one often cited in the trade. Mason Haire, of the University of California, constructed two shopping lists that were identical except for one item. There were six items common to both lists: hamburger, carrots, bread, baking powder, canned peaches, and potatoes, with the brands or amounts specifie D. The seventh item, in fifth place on both lists, read “one pound Maxwell House coffee" on the list and “Nescafe instant coffee" on the other. One list was given to each one in a group of fifty women, and the other list to those in the other group of the same size. The women were asked to study their list and then to describe, as far as they could, the kind of woman (“personality and character")who would draw up that shopping list. Nearly half of those who had received the list including instant coffee described a housewife who was lazy and a poor planner. On the other hand, only one woman in the other group described the housewife, who had included regular coffee on her list, as lazy; only six of that group suggested that she was probably not a good wife. No one in the other group drew such a conclusion about the housewife who intended to buy regular coffee. 6. In the opinion of instant coffee producers. A. people should buy regular coffee B. regular coffee is superior to instant coffee C. instant coffee should have a good market because of its obvious advantages D. the advertising expenditure for regular coffee is very great 7. In this instance, the purpose of motivation study was to discover . A. why there were deeper reasons B. why instant coffee did not taste good C. why regular coffee was successful D. the reason why people resisted instant coffee 8. The list on which “Nescafe instant coffee" was written as an item was given to a group consisting of . A. 7 people B. 7 women C. 14 people D. 50 women 35 好文章 好文章 9. On the result of this test, the producers of instant coffee probably would advertise on TV to show a . A. lazy wife drinking instant coffee B. stupid wife using instant coffee C. hard-working woman drinking instant coffee D. good wife using regular coffee 10. Which of the following can be inferred from the passage? A. It is reasonable for people to resist instant coffee. B. Advertising does not always assure favorable sales results. C. People pay little attention to advertising. D. Regular coffee has better taste than instant coffee. Passage 3 It is a curious fact that as we leave the most impoverished peoples of the world, where the human being with his too few calories of energy scratches out for himself a bare subsistence, we find the economic insecurity of the individual many times multiplieD. The solitary Eskimo, Bushman, Indonesian, Nigerian, left to his own devices, will survive a considerable time. Living close to the soil or to their animal prey, the peoples with the lowest standard of living in the world can sustain their own lives, at least for a while, almost single-handeD. With a community numbering only a few hundred, they can live indefinitely. Indeed, a very large percentage of the human race today lives in precisely such fashion - in small, virtually self-contained peasant communities which provide for their own survival with a minimum of contact with the outside worlD. This large majority of mankind suffers great poverty, but it also knows a certain economic independence. When we turn to the New Yorker or the Chicagoan, on the other hand, we are struck by exactly the opposite condition, by a prevailing ease of material life, coupled at the same time by an extreme dependence of the individual in his search for the means of existence. In the great metropolitan areas where most Americans live, we can no longer imagine the solitary individual or the small community surviving, short of robbing for food and necessities. The majority of Americans have never grown food, caught game, raised meat, ground grain into flour. Faced with the challenge of clothing themselves or building their own homes, they would be hopelessly untrained and unprepareD. Even to make minor repairs in the machines which surround them, they must call on other members of the community whose business it is to fix cars, or to repair plumbing, or whatever. Perhaps, the richer the nation, the more apparent is this inability of its average inhabitant to survive unaided and alone. 11. Which is the best title for this passage? A. The Poor and the Rich. B. The Individual and the Society. C. The Division of Labor. 36 好文章 好文章 D. The Making of a Society. 12. “Left to his own devices" in Line 4, ParA. 1 most probably means .

One can NOT make a living in modern America by . A. buying things one need from stores B. hiring the services of others C. robbing others of food and necessities D. learning to do things all by oneself Passage 4 If women are mercilessly exploited year after year, they have only themselves to blame. Because they tremble at the thought of being seen in public in clothes that are out of fashion, they are always taken advantage of by the designers and the big stores. Clothes which have been worn only a few times have to be put aside because of the change of fashion. When you come to think of it, only a woman is capable of standing in front of a wardrobe packed full of clothes and announcing sadly that she has nothing to wear. Changing fashions are nothing more than the intentional creation of waste. Many women spend vast sums of money each year to replace clothes that have hardly been worn. Women who cannot afford to throw away clothing in this way, waste hours of their time altering the dresses they have. Skirts are lengthened or shortened; neck-lines are lowered or raised, and so on. No one can claim that the fashion industry contributes anything really important to society. Fashion designers are rarely concerned with vital things like warmth, comfort and durability. They are only interested in outward appearance and they take advantage of the fact that women will put up with any amount of discomfort, as long as they look right. There can hardly be a man who 37 好文章 好文章 hasn't at some time in his life smiled at the sight of a woman shaking in a thin dress on a winter day, or delicately picking her way through deep snow in high-heeled shoes. When comparing men and women in the matter of fashion, the conclusions to be drawn are obvious. Do the constantly changing fashions of women's clothes, one wonders, reflect basic qualites of inconstancy and instability? Men are too clever to let themselves be cheated by fashion designers. Do their unchanging styles of dress reflect basic qualities of stability and reliability? That is for you to decide. 16. Designers and big stores always make money . A. by mercilessly exploiting women workers in the clothing industry B. because they are capable of predicting new fashions C. by constantly changing the fashions in women's clothing D. because they attach great importance to quality in women's clothing 17.

The constant changes in women's clothing reflect their strength of character. C. The fashion industry makes an important contribution to society. D.

Part II Reading Comprehension (35 minutes) Directions:There are four reading passages in this part. Each passage is followed by some questions. For each question there are four suggested answers marked A,B,C and D. You should choose the One best answer and blacken the corresponding letter on the ANSWER SHEET with a pencil. Passage 1 with factories and/or heavy automobile traffic. Today, we know that although these are the areas with the worst air pollution, the problem is literally worldwide. On several occasions over the past decade, a heavy cloud of of air pollution has covered the entire eastern half of the United States and led to health warnings even in rural areas away from any major concentration of manufacturing and automobile traffic. In fact, the very climate of the entire earth may be affected by air pollution. Some scientists feel that the increasing concentration of carbon dioxide in the air resulting from the burning of fossil fuels (coal and oil) is creating a “greenhouse effect" - holding in heat reflected from the earth and raising the world's average temperature. If this view is correct and the world's temperature is raised only a few degrees, much of the polar ice cap will melt and cities such as New York, Boston, Miami, and New Orleans will be under water. blocking sumlight and lowering the earth's temperature-a result that would be equally disastrous. A drop of just a few degrees could create something close to new ice age and would make agriculture difficult or impossible in many of our top farming areas. At present we do not know for sure that either of these conditions will hapen (though one recent government report prepared by experts in the field concluded that the greenhouse effect is very likely). Perhaps, if we are very lucky, the two tendencies will offset each other and the world's temperature will stay about the 45 好文章 好文章 same as it is now. 1.

Passage 3 尼安德特人), who lived between about 70,000 and 30,000 years ago, shared a number of special characteristics. Like any biological population, Neanderthals also showed variation in the degree to which those characteristics were powerfully built, short and stocky, with the lower parts of their arms and legs short in relation to the upper parts, as in modern peoples who live in cold environments. Neanderthal skulls were distinctive, housing brains even larger on average than those of modern humans, a feature that may have had more to do with their large, heavy bodies than with superior intelligence. Seen from behind, Neanderthal skulls look almost spherical, but from the side they are long and flattened, often with a bulging back. faces of other hominids, the middle parts appear to be pulled forward (or the sides pulled back), resulting in a rather streamlined face shape. This peculiarity may have been related to the greater importance (in cultural activities as well as food processing) of the front teeth, which are large and part of a row of teeth that lies well forward in the head; it may reflect a reduction in importance of certain jaw muscles operating at the sides of the face, or it may reflect an adaptation to cold. Whether it results from any or all of these three factors or from other, undiscovered causes, this midfacial projection is so characteristic that it unfailingly identifies a Neanderthal to the trained eye. strong roots, but the back teeth may be relatively small. This feature may have been an adaptation to cope with heavy tooth wear. 11. What does the passage mainly discuss? A. The eating habits of the Neanderthals B. A comparison of various prehistoric populations C. The physical characteristics of the Neanderthals D. The effect of climate on human development 12. The author describes the Neanderthal as being all of the following EXCEPT A. short B. swift C. strong D. stocky 13. Where in the passage does the author specifically stress the contrast between the Neanderthal face and that of other biologically related populations? A. Lines 1—4 48 好文章 好文章 B. Lines 6—10 C. Lines 11—12 D. Lines 20—23 14. Which of the following explanations is NOT cited as a possible explanation of the Neanderthal's streamlined face shape? A. Some jaw muscles had limited use. B. The facial features were well adapted to the cold. C. The front teeth were particularly important. D. The nose was set far back in the skull. 15. In line 23, the author uses the expression “heavy tooth wear” to imply that the Neanderthals A. had unusually heavy teeth B. used their teeth extensively C. regularly pulled out their teeth D. used teeth for ornamentation Passage 4 not be confused with the problem of illiteracy, that is, the inability to read and write. Current United Nations (UNESCO) figures indicate that 99 percent of all Americans are literate, the same figure assigned to nations such as Britain, Germany. Functional illiteracy, by contrast, is concerned with how much difficulty people have in actually using and writing skills in everyday situations. This might be interpreted, for example, as the relative ability to understand federal income tax forms, or printed instructions, or how well someone can write a letter of complaint, or apply in writing for a job. definitions vary widely. For many years, reading tests have been used throughout the country which define reading a the average reading score of all pupils who have completed ten years of school. There are, of course, many different reading tests and types of tests. One definition of functional illiteracy holds Americans are functionally illiterate in English to some degree. It is also hardly surprising that those nations testing, have found the greatest problems. As one educator humorously put it, “Reading tests cause population, has recently found that many of her citizens, too, are functionally illiterate. The attention given to this problem, therefore, reflects the fact that in North America schools as well as pupils are continually tested. 49 好文章 好文章 16. What does “illiteracy” mean? A.

Each passage is followed by some questions. For each question there are four suggested answers marked A,B,C and D. You should choose the One best answer and blacken the corresponding letter on the ANSWER SHEET with a pencil. Passage 1 Mrs. Lester kept on asking her husband to take her to the ballet. Mr. Lester hates the ballet, but when his employer invited him and his wife, he could not get out of it. As they drove to the theatre that evening, the fog got worse and worse. The traffic slowed down to a walking pace and almost stopped. When they eventually got to the theatre, the ballet was over. Mrs. Lester could not work out how it had taken them so long to get there, even taking the fog into account. The theatre was within walking distance of their house. It took her a long time to get over the disappointment. A month later, Mrs. Lester found out what had happened. Mr.Lester told a friend of his that he had taken wrong turning on purpose. This friend told his wife, and the wife immediately went around to tell Mrs. Lester. The two women began to plan a revenge. One day, when Mr. Lester was not in, they broke into his study, which he always locked. His hobby was collecting old coins. Mrs. Lester had already worked out how much his collection was worth:$850!They were taking some coins out of the case when they heard a car pull up outside the house. Mrs. Lester quickly switched the light off, and they waited, holding their breath. The front door opened and Mr. Lester came in. They heard him take hisc oat off. He walked towards the study door and opened it. 56 好文章 好文章 There was no chance for the women to get away without being seen.

A. social worker B. house cleaner C. baby sitter D. gossip 5. How many persons are mentioned in this story? A. Three B. Four C. Five D. Six. Passage 2 The motor vehicle has killed and disabled more people in its brief history than any bomb or weapon ever invented. Much of the blood on the street flows essentially from uncivil behavior of drivers who refuse to respect the legal and moral rights of others. So the massacre on the road may be regarded as a social problem. In fact, the enemies of society on wheels are rather harmless people just ordinary people acting carelessly, you might say. But it is a principle both of law and common morality that carelessness is no excuse when one's actions could bring death or damage to others. A minority of the killers go even beyond carelessness to total negligence. 57 好文章 好文章 Researchers have estimated that as many as 80 per cent of all automobile accidents can be attributed to the psychological condition of the driver. Emotional upsets can distort drivers' reactions, slow their judgement, and blind them to dangers that might otherwise be evident. The experts warn that it is vital for every driver to make a conscious effort to keep one's emotions under control. Yet the irresponsibility that accounts for much of the problem is not confined to drivers. Street walkers regularly violate traffic regulations, they are at fault in most vehicle walker accidents; and many cyclists even believe that they are not subject to the basic rules of the road. Significant legal advances have been made towards safer driving in the past few years. Safety standards for vehicle have been raised both at the point of manufacture and through periodic road-worthiness inspections. In addition, speed limits have been lowered. Due to these measures, the accident rate has decreased. But the accident experts still worry because there has been little or no improvement in the way drivers behave. The only real and lasting solution, say the experts, is to convince people that driving is a skilled task requiring constant care and concentration. Those who fail to do all these things present a threat to those with whom they share the road. 6. What is the author's main purpose in writing the passage? A. To show that the motor vehicle is a very dangerous invention. B. To promote understanding between careless drivers and street walkers. C. To discuss traffic problems and propose possible solutions. D. To warn drivers of the importance of safe driving. 7. According to the passage, traffic accidents may be regarded as a social problem because . A. autos have become most destructive to mankind B. people usually pay little attention to law and morality C. civilization brings much harm to people D. the lack of virtue is becoming more severe 8. Why does the author mention the psychological condition of the driver in Paragraph Three? A. To give an example of the various reasons for road accidents. B. To show how important it is for drivers to be emotionally healthy. C. To show some of the inaccurate estimations by researchers. D. To illustrate the hidden tensions in the course of driving. 9. Who are NOT mentioned as being responsible for the road accidents? A. Careless bicycle-riders. B. Mindless people walking in the street. C. Irresponsible drivers. D. Irresponsible manufactures of automobiles. 58 好文章 好文章 10. Which of the following best reflects the author's attitude toward a future without traffic accident problems? A. Doubtful yet still longing for B. Happy and rather confident C. Surprised and very pleased D. Disappointed and deeply worried Passage 3 In the early days of nuclear power, the United States made money on it. But today opponents have so complicated its development that no nuclear plants have been ordered or built here in 12 years. The greatest fear of nuclear power opponents has always been a reactor “meltdown”. Today, the chances of a meltdown that would threaten U.S. public health are testing new reactors that rely not on human judgment to shut them down but on the laws of nature. Now General Electric is already building two advanced reactors in Japan. But don't expect them even on U.S. shores unless things change in Washington. The procedure for licensing nuclear power plants is a bad dream. Any time during, or even after, construction, an objection by any group or individual can bring everything to a halt while the matter is investigated or taken to court. Meanwhile, the builder must add ome of which force him to knock down walls and start over. In every case when a plant has been opposed, the Nuclear Regulation Commission has ultimately granted a license to construct or operate. But the victory often costs so much that the utility ends up abandoning the plant anyway. A case in point is the Shoreham plant on New York's Long Island. Shoreham was a complete for $ 101 million, has been generating electricity for two decades. Shoreham, however, was singled out by antinuclear activists who, by sending in endless protests, drove the cost over $ 5 billion and delayed its use for many years. Shoreham finally won its operation license. But the plant has never produced a watt power. York's publicutilities commission to accept the following settlement: the power company could pass the cost of Shoreham along to its consumers only if it agreed not to operate the plant. Today, a perfectly good facility, capable of servicing hundreds of thousands of homes, sits rusting. 11. The author's attitude towards the development of nuclear power is .

Passage 4 Does a bee know what is going on in its mind when it navigates its way to distant food sources and back to the hive (蜂房), using polarized sunlight and the tiny magnet it carries as a navigational aid? Or is the bee just a machine, unable to do its mathematics and dance its language in any other way? To use Dondald Griffin's term, does a bee have “awareness", or to use a phrase I like better, can a bee think and imagine? There is an experiment for this, or at least an observation, made long ago by Karl von Firsch and more recently confirmed by James Gould in Princeton. Biologists who wish to study such things as bee navigation, language, and behavior in general have to train their bees to fly from the hive to one or another special place. To do this, they begin by placing a source of sugar very close to the hive so that the bees (considered by their trainers to be very dumb beasts) can learn what the game is about. Then, at regular interval, the dish or whatever is moved progressively farther and farther from the hive, in increments (增加量) of about 25 percent at each move. Eventually, the target is being moved 100 feet or more at a jump, very far from the hive. Sooner or later, while this process is going on, the biologist shifting the dish of sugar will find the bees are out there waiting for them, precisely where the next position had been planned. This is an uncomfortable observation to make. 60 好文章 好文章 16. The best title for the passage is . A. Teaching the Bees to Navigate B. Testing the Awareness of Bees C.
