  第二節 完形填空***共20小題,每小題1.5分,滿分30分***

  The best advice young men and women can hear is "Go West". Those who 36 to make their fortune or, at the very 37 , to find good jobs have a better chance of doing so in China's western provinces 38 in the increasingly crowded eastern cities. Along the Eastern coast, cities are 39 with newcomers looking for work. They seek 40

  from the lowest-level unskilled jobs to the instant-millionaire Internet chance of lifetime. 41 have found the latter, and fewer ever 42 .

  Some 160 years ago, young men and women moved 43 into New York, Philadelphia, Boston--- the United States' equivalent***相同的東西*** of China's Shanghai, Guangzhou and Beijing. All of these young people were 44 for work, for riches, for fame. Few found any of them. The 45 joined the masses working hard at low-level jobs 46 to support themselves and their 47 .

  Horace Greely, a well-known American newspaper editor of the period had 48 advice for those seeking work. "Do not," Greely said, " 49 in the cities! There is room and health in the country, away from the 50 of idlers***無所事事者*** and imbeciles***foods***. West ..."

  In the mid-19th century , when Greely called 51 people to go west, America was just to develop its western regions-- 52 as China today. Out west, the unemployed could find jobs.

  One thing more should be 53 to Horace Greely's advice to the youth of his time. Go west but go 54 .

  What are you 55 for ?

  36. A. hate B. hope C. doubt D. refuse

  第三部分 閱讀理解 ***共20小題,每小題2分,滿分40分***AWe have recently heard a great deal about the effects of computers on our social and economic organizations. In industry, computers mean automation, and automation means unemployment. Computers in the United States have already begun to take the place of workers whose tasks are simple. The variety of jobs, done only by humans in the past, which the machine can perform more rapidly, accurately and economically, increases with each new generation of computers. If we follow this trend, we will be faced with mass unemployment for all but a handful of highly trained professionals who will be more powerful and over-worked than they are now.

  What can we do about it? It is foolish to dream of making history backwards. We cannot pass laws forbidding the advancement of science and technology. The computing machines are here, and they will grow because engineers want to build them, and politicians want their help in the process of government. In short, they will develop and become popular because they enable us to complete tasks that could never before have been done, no matter how many unskilled laborers we might have set to work. Computers will continue to increase our intelligence for just the same reason that engines continue to strengthen our muscles. The question we must ask is not whether we shall have computers or not have computers, but rather, since we are going to have them, how we can make the most humane and intelligent use of them.

  56. Which kind of the following persons will be the first to be employed if computers continue to develop?

  A. Skilled workers. B. Highly trained professionals.

  C. Ordinary engineers. D. Government officials.

  57. In the article, the author believed that computer will continue _________ .

  A. to develop in the future B. to cause mass employment

  C. to have bad effects on social organizations

  D. to have good effects on social organizations

  58. The article suggests that the computer will continue to grow because__________ .

  A. we have lost control of it B. no laws can forbid its development

  C. engines can strengthen our muscles D. it can be and has been put to good use

  59. What is the main point the writer is trying to make in the last paragraph?

  A. Computers should be better used in more reasonable ways.

  B. We are able to build much better computers.

  C. Computers have caused industrial loss.

  D. computers are needed by more people.B  The cost is going up for just about everything and college tuition is no exception. According to a nationwide survey***調查*** published by the College Board's Scholar Service, tuition at most American universities will be on an average of 9 percent higher this year than last.

  The biggest increase will occur at private colleges, heavily subsidized by tax funds, will also increase their tuition, but the increase will be a few percentage points lower than their privately sponsored neighbors.

  As a follow up, the United Press International did their own study at several private colleges. At Ivy League schools, most advisors recommended that students have $ 16,800 available for one year's expenses, including $ 11,200 for tuition, $ 4,800 for room and board, and $ 800 for books and supplies. Ten years ago the tuition was $ 5,300. To put that another way, the cost has climbed more than 200 percent in the last decade.

  An additional burden is placed on out-of-state students who must pay extra charges and foreign students who are not eligible***有資格的*** for scholarships at state-funded universities.

  On the brighter side, the survey revealed***顯示*** that college graduates are entering the best hob market since the middle 1960s.Job offers are up 16 percent from last year, and salaries are good, at least fir graduates in technical fields. For example, a recent graduate in petroleum engineering can expect to make as much as $ 40,000 per year. A student with a liberal arts degree might expect to make about half that salary.

  60. What is the main subject of the story?

  A. Increase in tuition and fees at American universities.

  B. The cost of attending Ivy League schools.

  C. The financial burden for out-of-state residents and foreign student at American universities.

  D. The job market for recent graduates.

  61. What is the average increase in tuition expenses at American universities this year over last?

  A. Average tuition costs increased by 9 percent.

  B. Average tuition costs increased by 20 percent.

  C. Average tuition costs increased by 90 percent.

  D. Average tuition costs increased by 200 percent.

  62. How much did tuition increase at Ivy League schools over a ten-year period?

  A .By $ 200. B. By $ 5,300. C. By $ 5,900. D. By $ 1,120.

  63. According to the reporter, what is a problem for foreign students at state universities?

  A .That they must pay more than out-of-state students.

  B. That only a few are accepted.

  C. That they are not eligible for scholarships at state universities.

  D. That their scholarships are very small.

  64. Which word best describes the tone if this talk?

  A. Critical. B. Persuasive. C .Informative. D. Defensive.C.As the world watched the twin towers of the World Trade Center come under attack, a common phrase was repeated:"It looks like a movie."

  But this time there was no superman to save the people or the famous building. The attack destroyed one of the world's highest skyscrapers and left 5,000 people dead or missing.

  Movie fans have become used to such events after years of Hollywood films showing disasters, terrorism and danger. The Empire State Building, the White House, New York City and even the American president himself have all been threatened by terrorist attacks in these exciting films.

  The film "True lies", released in 1994 is considered to be a good example of this kind of movie. The special effects, including explosions and missiles, make the action look like a real thing.

  "Independence Day"in 1996 took this type of movie one step further by blowing up the White House. This science fiction movie is about a war between human beings and aliens from another planet. In the movie, the World Trade Center towers are destroyed.

  Violence has become a major part of Hollywood movies. And this is that people enjoy. Soon after the attacks, many famous film companies stopped the planned releases of some of their new movies, especially if their films showed terrorist attacks or plane crashes. "Swordfish"was top of the American box office in June. But the movie's story was frighteningly similar to the Sept. 11 disaster. The film would have been stopped in American and British cinemas after the attack.

  But it's unlikely that Hollywood will stay quiet for long. It is already waiting for the feeling in America to calm down.

  65. What is the main subject of the newspaper article?

  A. The relationship between the Sept. 11 attack and Hollywood films.

  B. The effect of the Sept. 11 attack on Hollywood films.

  C. The response Hollywood made to the Sept. 11 attack.

  D. The result of Hollywood films showing violence and disaster.

  66. Which of the following is true?

  A . Hollywood made a lot of money out of the film "Swordfish"in June.

  B. Hollywood stopped making films showing terrorism and disasters after the Sept. 11attack.C. "Swordfish" was not allowed to be shown after the Sept. 11 attack.

  D. The World Trade Center was destroyed because no superman came to save it.

  67. From this article we know that ________ .

  A. Hollywood is a film making center making films of violence and disasters

  B. too many Hollywood films showing terrorism and disasters resulted in the Sept.11attack.C. people who were used to the Hollywood films were not shocked at the Sept. 11 attack

  D. in fact, the Sept. 11 attack didn't have much to do with Hollywood filmsDThe interview has been going on for about 20 minutes and everything seems to be going well. Then, suddenly, the interviewer asks an unexpected question, "Which is more important, law of love?"

  Job applicants***求職者*** increasingly find themselves asked strange questions like this. And the signs are that this is beginning to happen in China.

  Employers want people who are skilled, enthusiastic***熱情的*** and devoted. So these are the qualities that any reasonably intelligent***智慧的*** job applicant will try to show no matter what his or her actual feelings are. In response, employers are increasingly using questions which try and show the applicant's true personality.

  The question in the first paragraph comes from a test called the Kiersey Personality Sorter. It is an attempt to discover how people solve problems, rather than what they know. This is often called aptitude testing.

  According to Mark Baldwin of alliance many job applicants in China are finding this type of questions difficult. When a Chinese person fills out an aptitude test, he or she will think there is right answer and they may well fail because they try to guess what the examiner wants to see.

  This is sometimes called the prisoner's dilemma***窘境***. Applicants are trying to act cleverly in their own interest. But they fail because they don't understand what the interviewer is looking for. Remember that in an aptitude test, the correct answer is always the honest answer.

  68. The writer wrote the passage to _____________ .

  A. give you a piece of advice on a job interview

  B. tell you how to meet a job interview

  C. describe an aptitude test

  D. advise you how to find a good job

  69. The underlined word"aptitude" is closest in meaning to __________ .

  A. duty B. ability C. fashion D. imagination

  70. According to the writer, in an aptitude testing, Chinese job applicants should ________ .

  A. not tell the truth B. learn to tell what they really think

  C. be more enthusiastic D. try to find out what the examiner really wants to know

  71. From the passage we know that _________ .

  A. job applicants are always asked such questions

  B. more Chinese applicants fail to find a job

  C. applicants should act as reasonably as a prisoner

  D. aptitude testing is becoming popular in ChinaEMany people believe the glare from snow causes snowblindness. Yet, with dark glasses or not, they find themselves suffering from headaches and watering eyes, and even snowblindness, when exposed to several hours o "snow light".

  The United States army has now determined that glare from snow does not cause snowblindness on troops in a snow-covered country. Rather, a man's eyes frequently find nothing to focus on in a broad space of snow-covered without-grass land. So his gaze continually moves and jumps back and forth over the entire landscape in search of something to look at. Finding something, hour after hour, the eyes never stop searching and the eyeballs becomes sore***疼痛的*** and the eye muscles ache. Nature makes up for this discomfort by producing more and more fluid***液體*** which covers the eyeball. The fluid covers the eyeball in increasing quantity until it makes eyes difficult to see clearly, and the result is total, even though temporary, snowblindness.

  Experiments led the Army to a simple method of overcoming this problem. Scouts ***偵察兵***ahead of the troops are trained to shake snow from evergreen bushes, creating a dotted line as they cross completely snow-covered landscape. Even the scouts themselves throw lightweight, dark colored objects ahead on which they too can focus. The men following can then see something. Their gaze is arrested. Their eyes focus on a bush and having found something to see, stop searching the snow-blanket landscape. By focusing their attention on one object at a time, the men can cross the snow without becoming hopelessly snowblind or lost. In this way the problem of crossing a continuous white land is overcome.

  72. To prevent snowblindness caused by the strong light from snow, wearing glasses or not

  ____________ .

  A. depends on whether the snow is white enough

  B. depends on whether the snow is thick

  C. makes no difference

  D. makes much difference

  73. When the eyes are sore, tears flow out ___________.

  A. to clear the vision B. to make the vision unclear

  C. to produce more and more liquid D. to make the eyes stop searching

  74. Snowblindness can be avoided ___________ .

  A. by providing the eyes with something to focus on

  B. by moving one's gaze back and forth

  C. by making up for the discomfort of one's eyes

  D. by walking ahead and keeping looking around

  75. The scouts shake snow from evergreen bushes_______ .

  A. to make the following men see nothing but falling snow

  B. to prevent the following men from losing their way

  C. to show the following men line different from snow

  D. to tell the following men where they are marching

  76. How to understand the sentence "Their gaze is arrested"?

  A. They can't see freely. B. They get something to look at.

  C. Their eyes are clear. D. They can only look at one spot.

Others say sandwiches are an American invention. The truth is that this type of food has been with us for thousands of years. It is only its name that is not very good.

  A British nobleman named John Montagu, the Earl of Sandwich, loved to play cards and didn't like to stop his game for meals. When he was hungry he asked his servant to bring him a piece of meat between two pieces of bread; this way he didn't have to use a fork and knife, and his hands stayed clean. He gave his sandwich its name, and this way of eating soon became popular in Europe.

  Is Watching TV Good or Bad?

  As is known to all, since its invention, TV has become an important part of people's life. By watching TV, we can get a lot of knowledge and information. We can also travel around the world, watch films, news reports, sports games and so on without buying tickets. But every coin has two sides. In my opinion, there are many disadvantages. You see, most children have poor eyesight because they watch TV too often. Besides, too much fighting and killing has bad effects on children. So we should make good use of TV and choose interesting and instructive TV programmes.

  第三部分 閱讀理解 ***共20小題,每小題2分,滿分40分***A The American National Football Team says that it aims to compete for the championship of the 2010 World Cup. Now a juvenile footballers training project, which costs 50 million US dollars and is provided by the Nike Company, has already gone into operation.

  As the first item project, 34 American boys under the age of 14 have already reached Mexico recently to begin their team training. Before that, the boys had received one week selection training in a San Diego Camp. All these boys were selected from the four American regional training camps under the Olympic Development Program.

  Not long after the boys began training in Mexico did they enter competitions with the Mexican Teenager Football Team. In a top players' match, the American Team lost by one to two. But in a replacement players' match, the American Team beat the Mexico Team two to one. After the matches. Carter, director of the Juvenile Development Project of the American Football Association, said that he hopes the scope of team training will be expanded to include 95-128 boys under the age of 14. Training of juvenile football players in the 15-to-16 age group will also be launched, Carter said.

  The American football circles have expressed appreciation of those measures taken by the American Football Association. Some people even say that the American Football Association should take further action to organize and coordinate competitions among juvenile football clubs, and should strive to organize and coordinate school to school and state to state super juvenile league football matches.

  36. The first item of the training project includes __________ .

  a. training many boys under the age of 14

  b. selecting 34 excellent boy players

  c. training in Mexico and organizing some matches there

  d. organizing 15-to-16 age groups

  A. a, b B. b, c C. a, b, c D. c, d

  37. According to this passage, the director named Carter has the wish__________ .

  A. to increase the number of boy players under the age of 14

  B. to organize a few more football clubs

  C. to get more rewards in the future

  D. to encourage the 15-to-16-year-old boys

  38. After reading the passage we may conclude that _________ .

  A. the Mexicans like various kinds of sports

  B. the American National Football Team lacks money too

  C. the Americans take the 2010 World Cup seriously

  D. the American Football Association doesn't value the action

  39. Which is the best title of the passage?

  A. Try to Win the 2010 World Cup.

  B. American Boys Trained for Football Championships.

  C. Improve the Young Footballers' Skill.

  D. Great Project-Training Young Children.B  Human wants seem endless. When a starving man gets a meal, he begins to think about an overcoat; when an executive gets a new sports car, vision of country clubs and pleasure boats dance into view.

  The man wants of mankind might be regarded as making up several levels. When there is money enough to satisfy one level of wants, another level appears.

  The first and most basic level of wants involves food. Once this want is satisfied, a second level of wants appears clothing and some sorts of shelter. By the end of World War II these wants were satisfied for a great majority of Americans. Then a third level appeared. It included such items as automobiles and new houses.

  By 1957 or 1958 this third level of wants was fairly well satisfied. Then, in the late 1950s a fourth level of wants appeared: the "life-enriching"level. While the other levels involve physical satisfaction-the feeding, comfort, safety, and transportation of the human body- this level stresses mental needs for recognition, achievements and happiness. It includes a variety of goods and services, many of which could be called "luxury"items. Among them are vacation trips, the best medical and dental care, and entertainment. Also includes her fancy foods and the latest styles in clothing.

  On the fourth level, a greater percentage of consumers' spending goes to services, while on the first three levels more is spent on goods. Will consumers raise their sight to a fifth of wants as their income increases, or will they continue to demand luxuries of any personal services on the fourth level?

  A fifth level probably would involve wants that can be achieved best by community action. Consumers may be spending more on taxes to pay for government action against disease, ignorance, crime and prejudice. After filling out stomachs, our clothes closets, our garage, our teeth, and our minds, we now may seek to ensure the health, safety and leisure to enjoy more fully the good things on the first four levels.

  40. According to the passage, man will begin to think about such needs as housing and clothing only when __________ .

  A. he has saved up enough money

  B. he has grown dissatisfied with his simple shelter

  C. he has satisfied his hunger D. he has learned to build houses

  41. It can be inferred from the passage that by the end of World War II most Americans __________.

  A. were very rich B. lived in poverty

  C. had the good things on the first three levels D .don't own automobiles

  42. Which of the following is NOT related to "physical satisfaction"?

  A. A successful career. B. A cozy home.

  C. A good service. D. A family car.

  43. The author is inclined to think that fifth level __________ .

  A. would be a little better than the fourth level

  B. may be a lot more desirable than the first four

  C. can be the last and most satisfying level

  D. will become attainable provided the government takes actionCMoods, say the experts, are feelings that are likely to become fixed, having effects on one's outlook*** way of looking at things*** for hours, days or even weeks. That's great if your mood is a pleasant one, but a problem if you are sad, anxious, angry, or simply lonely.

  Perhaps the best way to deal with such moods is to talk them out; sometimes, though, there is no one to listen. Modern pharmacology***藥理學*** offers a lot of tranquilizers***鎮靜劑*** and anti-anxiety drugs. What many people don't realize, however, is that scientists have discovered the effectiveness of several non-drugs, and have the added benefit of being nonpoisonous. So next time you feel out of sorts, don't head for the drug store-try the following method.

  Of all the mood-changing self-help techniques, aerobic exercise seems to be the best cure for a bad mood. "If you could keep the exercise, you'd be in high spirits," says Kathryn Lance, author of Running for Health and Beauty.

  Researchers have explained biochemical and various other changes that make exercise compare favorably to drugs as a mood-raiser. Physical work such as housework, however, does little. The key is aerobic exercise-running, cycling, walking, swimming, or other repetitive and sustained activities that increase the heart rate and circulation, and improve the body's use of oxygen. Do then for at least 20 minutes a time, three to five times a week.

  44. What is the main subject of the passage?

  A. How to beat a bad mood. B. How to talk bad moods out.

  C. How to do physical exercise. D. How to do aerobic exercise.

  45. It can be inferred from the passage that __________.

  A. when one is in a bad mood, he or she may not work very well

  B. the best way to overcome a bad mood is to talk to oneself

  C. some drugs are more effective than physical exercises

  D. taking drugs is at the risk of being poisonous

  46. "Feel out of sorts", as it is used in the second paragraph, could best be replaced by ________.

  A. put things in order B. are in a bad mood

  C. search for the tranquilizers D. want a mood-raiser

  47. Which of the following best describes the organization of this passage?

  A. An exercise and its importance are explained

  B. A problem is examined and solutions are given.

  C. Two different views of a problem are presented

  D. Recent development in medicine are describedDManners nowadays in big cities like London are practically non-existent. It is nothing for a bid, strong schoolboy to push an elderly woman side in the rush for the last remaining seat in the train or bus, much less stand up and offer his seat to her.

  This question of giving up seats in public transport is much argued by young men, who say that, since women have claimed***要求***equality, they no longer should be treated with courtesy***禮貌*** and that those who go out to work should take their turn in the rush hour like anyone else. Women have never should stand up for younger women, the fact remains that courtesy should be shown to the old, the sick and the disabled. Are we really so lost to all ideals of unselfishness that we can sit there calmly reading the paper or a book, saying to ourselves "First come, first served." while a gray-haired woman, a mother with a young child stands? Yet this is all too often seem.

  Older people, tiered form a day's work, are not as noble as before, either. Far from it. Many an argument or a quarrel breaks out as they push and pull each other to get on buses and trains. One cannot speak favorably of this of course, but one does feel there is just a little more excuse.

  If cities are to remain pleasant places to live in at all, however, it seems important, not only that communications in transport should be improves, but also that communication between human beings should be kept smooth and polite. All over cities, it seems that people are too tired and too rushed to be polite. Shop assistants won't bother to help, taxi drivers shout at each other as they drive dangerously round corners, bus conductors pull the bell before their passengers have had time to get on off the bus, and so on. It seems to us that it is up to the young and strong to do their small part to stop such deterioration.

  48. What is the writer's opinion concerning courteous manners towards women?

  A. Now that women have claimed quality, they no longer need to be treated differently from men.

  B. It is generally considered out of date for young men to give up their seats to young wowen.

  C. "Lady First" should be strictly practiced.

  D. Special consideration ought to be shown to them.

  49. On the train or bus, according to the author, older people _________.

  A. often offer their seats to others.

  B. are treated better than younger people are

  C. are no more thoughtful than younger people toward each other.

  D. are more selfish to each other

  50. According to the author, communication between human beings would be smoother if _______.

  A. people were more thoughtful towards each other

  B. people were not so tired

  C. women were treated with more courtesy

  D. public transport could be improved.

  51. What is the possible meaning of the underlined word " deterioration" in the last paragraph?

  A. Worsening of general situation. B. Lowering of moral standards.

  C. Society getting worse. D. Spreading of bad manners.EWouldn't it be great if you could just look up at the sky and read the weather forecast right away? Well, you can. The forecast is written in clouds. If you can read that writing, you can tell something about the atmosphere. With some practice, you can become a pretty good weather forecast. Who knows, you might even do as well as meteorologist***氣象學者***.

  Meteorologists use much more information than just the appearance of the clouds to make their forecast. They collect data***資料*** from all over the world. Then they put it into powerful, high-speed computers.

  This does give meteorologists an advantage, because they can track weather patterns as they move from west to east across the country.

  But you have an advantage, too. You can look at the sky and get your data directly. A meteorologists uses a computer forecast that's several hours old to make a local forest.

  What are you seeing when you look at a cloud? " A picture of what moisture***溼氣*** is doing in the atmosphere," says meteorologist Peter Leavit. There's moisture throughout the atmosphere. Most of the time you don't see it, because it's in the form of an invisible***看不見的***gas called water vapor.

  Sometimes, the temperature of the air gets cold enough to cause the water vapor to change into liquid water. That's called condensation, and we see it happen all the time***for example, when humid air hits the cold glass of a mirror***. When enough water vapor condenses, droplets form in the air. These droplets scatter light. A cloud is seen. Watching clouds over a day or two tells you a lot more than a single cloud about the weather to come. Changes in clouds show changes in the temperature.

  You should begin to notice patterns. Certain clouds, following each other in order, can signal an approaching storm. But don't take our word for it; see for yourself.

  This passage mainly tells us about how ___________.

  A. to become a meteorologist B. to keep an eye on the weather

  C. to be an assistant to a meteorologist D. to change water vapor to liquid water

  According to the passage, an ordinary person might do as well as a meteorologist in weather forecast __________.

  A. with the help of the high-speed computer

  B. through a complex process of calculation

  C. with some simple practice looking up at the sky

  D. consulting a weather station

  Meteorologist make their weather forecast __________.

  A. by collecting data from all over the world

  B. by putting these data into powerful, high-speed computers.

  C. By calculating and analyzing these data

  D. all above

  Your advantage in weather forecasts is that _________.

  A. you have more powerful computers at home

  B. your brain works as well as high speed computer

  C. you observe the sky and obtain your data directly

  D. meteorologists give their data to you as soon as they get them

  The best advice young men and women can hear is "Go West". Those who 36 to make their fortune or, at the very 37 , to find good jobs have a better chance of doing so in China's western provinces 38 in the increasingly crowded eastern cities. Along the Eastern coast, cities are 39 with newcomers looking for work. They seek 40

  from the lowest-level unskilled jobs to the instant-millionaire Internet chance of lifetime. 41 have found the latter, and fewer ever 42 .

  Some 160 years ago, young men and women moved 43 into New York, Philadelphia, Boston--- the United States' equivalent***相同的東西*** of China's Shanghai, Guangzhou and Beijing. All of these young people were 44 for work, for riches, for fame. Few found any of them. The 45 joined the masses working hard at low-level jobs 46 to support themselves and their 47 .

  Horace Greely, a well-known American newspaper editor of the period had 48 advice for those seeking work. "Do not," Greely said, " 49 in the cities! There is room and health in the country, away from the 50 of idlers***無所事事者*** and imbeciles***foods***. West ..."

  In the mid-19th century , when Greely called 51 people to go west, America was just to develop its western regions-- 52 as China today. Out west, the unemployed could find jobs.

  One thing more should be 53 to Horace Greely's advice to the youth of his time. Go west but go 54 .

  第三部分 閱讀理解 ***共20小題,每小題2分,滿分40分***AWe have recently heard a great deal about the effects of computers on our social and economic organizations. In industry, computers mean automation, and automation means unemployment. Computers in the United States have already begun to take the place of workers whose tasks are simple. The variety of jobs, done only by humans in the past, which the machine can perform more rapidly, accurately and economically, increases with each new generation of computers. If we follow this trend, we will be faced with mass unemployment for all but a handful of highly trained professionals who will be more powerful and over-worked than they are now.

  What can we do about it? It is foolish to dream of making history backwards. We cannot pass laws forbidding the advancement of science and technology. The computing machines are here, and they will grow because engineers want to build them, and politicians want their help in the process of government. In short, they will develop and become popular because they enable us to complete tasks that could never before have been done, no matter how many unskilled laborers we might have set to work. Computers will continue to increase our intelligence for just the same reason that engines continue to strengthen our muscles. The question we must ask is not whether we shall have computers or not have computers, but rather, since we are going to have them, how we can make the most humane and intelligent use of them.

  56. Which kind of the following persons will be the first to be employed if computers continue to develop?

  A. Skilled workers. B. Highly trained professionals.

  C. Ordinary engineers. D. Government officials.

  57. In the article, the author believed that computer will continue _________ .

  A. to develop in the future B. to cause mass employment

  C. to have bad effects on social organizations

  D. to have good effects on social organizations

  58. The article suggests that the computer will continue to grow because__________ .

  A. we have lost control of it B. no laws can forbid its development

  C. engines can strengthen our muscles D. it can be and has been put to good use

  59. What is the main point the writer is trying to make in the last paragraph?

  A. Computers should be better used in more reasonable ways.

  B. We are able to build much better computers.

  C. Computers have caused industrial loss.

  D. computers are needed by more people.B  The cost is going up for just about everything and college tuition is no exception. According to a nationwide survey***調查*** published by the College Board's Scholar Service, tuition at most American universities will be on an average of 9 percent higher this year than last.

  The biggest increase will occur at private colleges, heavily subsidized by tax funds, will also increase their tuition, but the increase will be a few percentage points lower than their privately sponsored neighbors.

  As a follow up, the United Press International did their own study at several private colleges. At Ivy League schools, most advisors recommended that students have $ 16,800 available for one year's expenses, including $ 11,200 for tuition, $ 4,800 for room and board, and $ 800 for books and supplies. Ten years ago the tuition was $ 5,300. To put that another way, the cost has climbed more than 200 percent in the last decade.

  An additional burden is placed on out-of-state students who must pay extra charges and foreign students who are not eligible***有資格的*** for scholarships at state-funded universities.

  On the brighter side, the survey revealed***顯示*** that college graduates are entering the best hob market since the middle 1960s.Job offers are up 16 percent from last year, and salaries are good, at least fir graduates in technical fields. For example, a recent graduate in petroleum engineering can expect to make as much as $ 40,000 per year. A student with a liberal arts degree might expect to make about half that salary.

  60. What is the main subject of the story?

  A. Increase in tuition and fees at American universities.

  B. The cost of attending Ivy League schools.

  C. The financial burden for out-of-state residents and foreign student at American universities.

  D. The job market for recent graduates.

  61. What is the average increase in tuition expenses at American universities this year over last?

  A. Average tuition costs increased by 9 percent.

  B. Average tuition costs increased by 20 percent.

  C. Average tuition costs increased by 90 percent.

  D. Average tuition costs increased by 200 percent.

  62. How much did tuition increase at Ivy League schools over a ten-year period?

  A .By $ 200. B. By $ 5,300. C. By $ 5,900. D. By $ 1,120.

  63. According to the reporter, what is a problem for foreign students at state universities?

  A .That they must pay more than out-of-state students.

  B. That only a few are accepted.

  C. That they are not eligible for scholarships at state universities.

  D. That their scholarships are very small.

  64. Which word best describes the tone if this talk?

  A. Critical. B. Persuasive. C .Informative. D. Defensive.C.As the world watched the twin towers of the World Trade Center come under attack, a common phrase was repeated:"It looks like a movie."

  But this time there was no superman to save the people or the famous building. The attack destroyed one of the world's highest skyscrapers and left 5,000 people dead or missing.

  Movie fans have become used to such events after years of Hollywood films showing disasters, terrorism and danger. The Empire State Building, the White House, New York City and even the American president himself have all been threatened by terrorist attacks in these exciting films.

  The film "True lies", released in 1994 is considered to be a good example of this kind of movie. The special effects, including explosions and missiles, make the action look like a real thing.

  "Independence Day"in 1996 took this type of movie one step further by blowing up the White House. This science fiction movie is about a war between human beings and aliens from another planet. In the movie, the World Trade Center towers are destroyed.

  Violence has become a major part of Hollywood movies. And this is that people enjoy. Soon after the attacks, many famous film companies stopped the planned releases of some of their new movies, especially if their films showed terrorist attacks or plane crashes. "Swordfish"was top of the American box office in June. But the movie's story was frighteningly similar to the Sept. 11 disaster. The film would have been stopped in American and British cinemas after the attack.

  But it's unlikely that Hollywood will stay quiet for long. It is already waiting for the feeling in America to calm down.

  65. What is the main subject of the newspaper article?

  A. The relationship between the Sept. 11 attack and Hollywood films.

  B. The effect of the Sept. 11 attack on Hollywood films.

  C. The response Hollywood made to the Sept. 11 attack.

  D. The result of Hollywood films showing violence and disaster.

  66. Which of the following is true?

  A . Hollywood made a lot of money out of the film "Swordfish"in June.

  B. Hollywood stopped making films showing terrorism and disasters after the Sept. 11attack.C. "Swordfish" was not allowed to be shown after the Sept. 11 attack.

  D. The World Trade Center was destroyed because no superman came to save it.

  67. From this article we know that ________ .

  A. Hollywood is a film making center making films of violence and disasters

  B. too many Hollywood films showing terrorism and disasters resulted in the Sept.11attack.C. people who were used to the Hollywood films were not shocked at the Sept. 11 attack

  D. in fact, the Sept. 11 attack didn't have much to do with Hollywood filmsDThe interview has been going on for about 20 minutes and everything seems to be going well. Then, suddenly, the interviewer asks an unexpected question, "Which is more important, law of love?"

  Job applicants***求職者*** increasingly find themselves asked strange questions like this. And the signs are that this is beginning to happen in China.

  Employers want people who are skilled, enthusiastic***熱情的*** and devoted. So these are the qualities that any reasonably intelligent***智慧的*** job applicant will try to show no matter what his or her actual feelings are. In response, employers are increasingly using questions which try and show the applicant's true personality.

  The question in the first paragraph comes from a test called the Kiersey Personality Sorter. It is an attempt to discover how people solve problems, rather than what they know. This is often called aptitude testing.

  According to Mark Baldwin of alliance many job applicants in China are finding this type of questions difficult. When a Chinese person fills out an aptitude test, he or she will think there is right answer and they may well fail because they try to guess what the examiner wants to see.

  This is sometimes called the prisoner's dilemma***窘境***. Applicants are trying to act cleverly in their own interest. But they fail because they don't understand what the interviewer is looking for. Remember that in an aptitude test, the correct answer is always the honest answer.

  68. The writer wrote the passage to _____________ .

  A. give you a piece of advice on a job interview

  B. tell you how to meet a job interview

  C. describe an aptitude test

  D. advise you how to find a good job

  69. The underlined word"aptitude" is closest in meaning to __________ .

  A. duty B. ability C. fashion D. imagination

  70. According to the writer, in an aptitude testing, Chinese job applicants should ________ .

  A. not tell the truth B. learn to tell what they really think

  C. be more enthusiastic D. try to find out what the examiner really wants to know

  71. From the passage we know that _________ .

  A. job applicants are always asked such questions

  B. more Chinese applicants fail to find a job

  C. applicants should act as reasonably as a prisoner

  D. aptitude testing is becoming popular in ChinaEMany people believe the glare from snow causes snowblindness. Yet, with dark glasses or not, they find themselves suffering from headaches and watering eyes, and even snowblindness, when exposed to several hours o "snow light".

  The United States army has now determined that glare from snow does not cause snowblindness on troops in a snow-covered country. Rather, a man's eyes frequently find nothing to focus on in a broad space of snow-covered without-grass land. So his gaze continually moves and jumps back and forth over the entire landscape in search of something to look at. Finding something, hour after hour, the eyes never stop searching and the eyeballs becomes sore***疼痛的*** and the eye muscles ache. Nature makes up for this discomfort by producing more and more fluid***液體*** which covers the eyeball. The fluid covers the eyeball in increasing quantity until it makes eyes difficult to see clearly, and the result is total, even though temporary, snowblindness.

  Experiments led the Army to a simple method of overcoming this problem. Scouts ***偵察兵***ahead of the troops are trained to shake snow from evergreen bushes, creating a dotted line as they cross completely snow-covered landscape. Even the scouts themselves throw lightweight, dark colored objects ahead on which they too can focus. The men following can then see something. Their gaze is arrested. Their eyes focus on a bush and having found something to see, stop searching the snow-blanket landscape. By focusing their attention on one object at a time, the men can cross the snow without becoming hopelessly snowblind or lost. In this way the problem of crossing a continuous white land is overcome.

  72. To prevent snowblindness caused by the strong light from snow, wearing glasses or not

  ____________ .

  A. depends on whether the snow is white enough

  B. depends on whether the snow is thick

  C. makes no difference

  D. makes much difference

  73. When the eyes are sore, tears flow out ___________.

  A. to clear the vision B. to make the vision unclear

  C. to produce more and more liquid D. to make the eyes stop searching

  74. Snowblindness can be avoided ___________ .

  A. by providing the eyes with something to focus on

  B. by moving one's gaze back and forth

  C. by making up for the discomfort of one's eyes

  D. by walking ahead and keeping looking around

  75. The scouts shake snow from evergreen bushes_______ .

  A. to make the following men see nothing but falling snow

  B. to prevent the following men from losing their way

  C. to show the following men line different from snow

  D. to tell the following men where they are marching

  76. How to understand the sentence "Their gaze is arrested"?

  A. They can't see freely. B. They get something to look at.

  C. Their eyes are clear. D. They can only look at one spot.

Others say sandwiches are an American invention. The truth is that this type of food has been with us for thousands of years. It is only its name that is not very good.

  A British nobleman named John Montagu, the Earl of Sandwich, loved to play cards and didn't like to stop his game for meals. When he was hungry he asked his servant to bring him a piece of meat between two pieces of bread; this way he didn't have to use a fork and knife, and his hands stayed clean. He gave his sandwich its name, and this way of eating soon became popular in Europe.

  Is Watching TV Good or Bad?

  As is known to all, since its invention, TV has become an important part of people's life. By watching TV, we can get a lot of knowledge and information. We can also travel around the world, watch films, news reports, sports games and so on without buying tickets. But every coin has two sides. In my opinion, there are many disadvantages. You see, most children have poor eyesight because they watch TV too often. Besides, too much fighting and killing has bad effects on children. So we should make good use of TV and choose interesting and instructive TV programmes.

  Despite high hopes from other scientists, the news raised concerns immediately from religious***宗教的*** and political leaders. Several 24 in the US do not allow human cloning. President George W. Bush also made it clear that he is 25 any type of human cloning. However, the scientists at ACT said they have no interest at present in 26 an early embryo into 27 .

  Animals have been cloned repeatedly since Dolly the sheep 28 in 1997. and there were no real technical 29 to stand in the way of scientists making a cloned human embryo.

  第三部分 閱讀理解 ***共20小題,每小題2分,滿分40分***A The American National Football Team says that it aims to compete for the championship of the 2010 World Cup. Now a juvenile footballers training project, which costs 50 million US dollars and is provided by the Nike Company, has already gone into operation.

  As the first item project, 34 American boys under the age of 14 have already reached Mexico recently to begin their team training. Before that, the boys had received one week selection training in a San Diego Camp. All these boys were selected from the four American regional training camps under the Olympic Development Program.

  Not long after the boys began training in Mexico did they enter competitions with the Mexican Teenager Football Team. In a top players' match, the American Team lost by one to two. But in a replacement players' match, the American Team beat the Mexico Team two to one. After the matches. Carter, director of the Juvenile Development Project of the American Football Association, said that he hopes the scope of team training will be expanded to include 95-128 boys under the age of 14. Training of juvenile football players in the 15-to-16 age group will also be launched, Carter said.

  The American football circles have expressed appreciation of those measures taken by the American Football Association. Some people even say that the American Football Association should take further action to organize and coordinate competitions among juvenile football clubs, and should strive to organize and coordinate school to school and state to state super juvenile league football matches.

  36. The first item of the training project includes __________ .

  a. training many boys under the age of 14

  b. selecting 34 excellent boy players

  c. training in Mexico and organizing some matches there

  d. organizing 15-to-16 age groups

  A. a, b B. b, c C. a, b, c D. c, d

  37. According to this passage, the director named Carter has the wish__________ .

  A. to increase the number of boy players under the age of 14

  B. to organize a few more football clubs

  C. to get more rewards in the future

  D. to encourage the 15-to-16-year-old boys

  38. After reading the passage we may conclude that _________ .

  A. the Mexicans like various kinds of sports

  B. the American National Football Team lacks money too

  C. the Americans take the 2010 World Cup seriously

  D. the American Football Association doesn't value the action

  39. Which is the best title of the passage?

  A. Try to Win the 2010 World Cup.

  B. American Boys Trained for Football Championships.

  C. Improve the Young Footballers' Skill.

  D. Great Project-Training Young Children.B  Human wants seem endless. When a starving man gets a meal, he begins to think about an overcoat; when an executive gets a new sports car, vision of country clubs and pleasure boats dance into view.

  The man wants of mankind might be regarded as making up several levels. When there is money enough to satisfy one level of wants, another level appears.

  The first and most basic level of wants involves food. Once this want is satisfied, a second level of wants appears clothing and some sorts of shelter. By the end of World War II these wants were satisfied for a great majority of Americans. Then a third level appeared. It included such items as automobiles and new houses.

  By 1957 or 1958 this third level of wants was fairly well satisfied. Then, in the late 1950s a fourth level of wants appeared: the "life-enriching"level. While the other levels involve physical satisfaction-the feeding, comfort, safety, and transportation of the human body- this level stresses mental needs for recognition, achievements and happiness. It includes a variety of goods and services, many of which could be called "luxury"items. Among them are vacation trips, the best medical and dental care, and entertainment. Also includes her fancy foods and the latest styles in clothing.

  On the fourth level, a greater percentage of consumers' spending goes to services, while on the first three levels more is spent on goods. Will consumers raise their sight to a fifth of wants as their income increases, or will they continue to demand luxuries of any personal services on the fourth level?

  A fifth level probably would involve wants that can be achieved best by community action. Consumers may be spending more on taxes to pay for government action against disease, ignorance, crime and prejudice. After filling out stomachs, our clothes closets, our garage, our teeth, and our minds, we now may seek to ensure the health, safety and leisure to enjoy more fully the good things on the first four levels.

  40. According to the passage, man will begin to think about such needs as housing and clothing only when __________ .

  A. he has saved up enough money

  B. he has grown dissatisfied with his simple shelter

  C. he has satisfied his hunger D. he has learned to build houses

  41. It can be inferred from the passage that by the end of World War II most Americans __________.

  A. were very rich B. lived in poverty

  C. had the good things on the first three levels D .don't own automobiles

  42. Which of the following is NOT related to "physical satisfaction"?

  A. A successful career. B. A cozy home.

  C. A good service. D. A family car.

  43. The author is inclined to think that fifth level __________ .

  A. would be a little better than the fourth level

  B. may be a lot more desirable than the first four

  C. can be the last and most satisfying level

  D. will become attainable provided the government takes actionCMoods, say the experts, are feelings that are likely to become fixed, having effects on one's outlook*** way of looking at things*** for hours, days or even weeks. That's great if your mood is a pleasant one, but a problem if you are sad, anxious, angry, or simply lonely.

  Perhaps the best way to deal with such moods is to talk them out; sometimes, though, there is no one to listen. Modern pharmacology***藥理學*** offers a lot of tranquilizers***鎮靜劑*** and anti-anxiety drugs. What many people don't realize, however, is that scientists have discovered the effectiveness of several non-drugs, and have the added benefit of being nonpoisonous. So next time you feel out of sorts, don't head for the drug store-try the following method.

  Of all the mood-changing self-help techniques, aerobic exercise seems to be the best cure for a bad mood. "If you could keep the exercise, you'd be in high spirits," says Kathryn Lance, author of Running for Health and Beauty.

  Researchers have explained biochemical and various other changes that make exercise compare favorably to drugs as a mood-raiser. Physical work such as housework, however, does little. The key is aerobic exercise-running, cycling, walking, swimming, or other repetitive and sustained activities that increase the heart rate and circulation, and improve the body's use of oxygen. Do then for at least 20 minutes a time, three to five times a week.

  44. What is the main subject of the passage?

  A. How to beat a bad mood. B. How to talk bad moods out.

  C. How to do physical exercise. D. How to do aerobic exercise.

  45. It can be inferred from the passage that __________.

  A. when one is in a bad mood, he or she may not work very well

  B. the best way to overcome a bad mood is to talk to oneself

  C. some drugs are more effective than physical exercises

  D. taking drugs is at the risk of being poisonous

  46. "Feel out of sorts", as it is used in the second paragraph, could best be replaced by ________.

  A. put things in order B. are in a bad mood

  C. search for the tranquilizers D. want a mood-raiser

  47. Which of the following best describes the organization of this passage?

  A. An exercise and its importance are explained

  B. A problem is examined and solutions are given.

  C. Two different views of a problem are presented

  D. Recent development in medicine are describedDManners nowadays in big cities like London are practically non-existent. It is nothing for a bid, strong schoolboy to push an elderly woman side in the rush for the last remaining seat in the train or bus, much less stand up and offer his seat to her.

  This question of giving up seats in public transport is much argued by young men, who say that, since women have claimed***要求***equality, they no longer should be treated with courtesy***禮貌*** and that those who go out to work should take their turn in the rush hour like anyone else. Women have never should stand up for younger women, the fact remains that courtesy should be shown to the old, the sick and the disabled. Are we really so lost to all ideals of unselfishness that we can sit there calmly reading the paper or a book, saying to ourselves "First come, first served." while a gray-haired woman, a mother with a young child stands? Yet this is all too often seem.

  Older people, tiered form a day's work, are not as noble as before, either. Far from it. Many an argument or a quarrel breaks out as they push and pull each other to get on buses and trains. One cannot speak favorably of this of course, but one does feel there is just a little more excuse.

  If cities are to remain pleasant places to live in at all, however, it seems important, not only that communications in transport should be improves, but also that communication between human beings should be kept smooth and polite. All over cities, it seems that people are too tired and too rushed to be polite. Shop assistants won't bother to help, taxi drivers shout at each other as they drive dangerously round corners, bus conductors pull the bell before their passengers have had time to get on off the bus, and so on. It seems to us that it is up to the young and strong to do their small part to stop such deterioration.

  48. What is the writer's opinion concerning courteous manners towards women?

  A. Now that women have claimed quality, they no longer need to be treated differently from men.

  B. It is generally considered out of date for young men to give up their seats to young wowen.

  C. "Lady First" should be strictly practiced.

  D. Special consideration ought to be shown to them.

  49. On the train or bus, according to the author, older people _________.

  A. often offer their seats to others.

  B. are treated better than younger people are

  C. are no more thoughtful than younger people toward each other.

  D. are more selfish to each other

  50. According to the author, communication between human beings would be smoother if _______.

  A. people were more thoughtful towards each other

  B. people were not so tired

  C. women were treated with more courtesy

  D. public transport could be improved.

  51. What is the possible meaning of the underlined word " deterioration" in the last paragraph?

  A. Worsening of general situation. B. Lowering of moral standards.

  C. Society getting worse. D. Spreading of bad manners.EWouldn't it be great if you could just look up at the sky and read the weather forecast right away? Well, you can. The forecast is written in clouds. If you can read that writing, you can tell something about the atmosphere. With some practice, you can become a pretty good weather forecast. Who knows, you might even do as well as meteorologist***氣象學者***.

  Meteorologists use much more information than just the appearance of the clouds to make their forecast. They collect data***資料*** from all over the world. Then they put it into powerful, high-speed computers.

  This does give meteorologists an advantage, because they can track weather patterns as they move from west to east across the country.

  But you have an advantage, too. You can look at the sky and get your data directly. A meteorologists uses a computer forecast that's several hours old to make a local forest.

  What are you seeing when you look at a cloud? " A picture of what moisture***溼氣*** is doing in the atmosphere," says meteorologist Peter Leavit. There's moisture throughout the atmosphere. Most of the time you don't see it, because it's in the form of an invisible***看不見的***gas called water vapor.

  Sometimes, the temperature of the air gets cold enough to cause the water vapor to change into liquid water. That's called condensation, and we see it happen all the time***for example, when humid air hits the cold glass of a mirror***. When enough water vapor condenses, droplets form in the air. These droplets scatter light. A cloud is seen. Watching clouds over a day or two tells you a lot more than a single cloud about the weather to come. Changes in clouds show changes in the temperature.

  You should begin to notice patterns. Certain clouds, following each other in order, can signal an approaching storm. But don't take our word for it; see for yourself.

  This passage mainly tells us about how ___________.

  A. to become a meteorologist B. to keep an eye on the weather

  C. to be an assistant to a meteorologist D. to change water vapor to liquid water

  According to the passage, an ordinary person might do as well as a meteorologist in weather forecast __________.

  A. with the help of the high-speed computer

  B. through a complex process of calculation

  C. with some simple practice looking up at the sky

  D. consulting a weather station

  Meteorologist make their weather forecast __________.

  A. by collecting data from all over the world

  B. by putting these data into powerful, high-speed computers.

  C. By calculating and analyzing these data

  D. all above

  Your advantage in weather forecasts is that _________.

  A. you have more powerful computers at home

  B. your brain works as well as high speed computer

  C. you observe the sky and obtain your data directly

  D. meteorologists give their data to you as soon as they get them

  The best advice young men and women can hear is "Go West". Those who 36 to make their fortune or, at the very 37 , to find good jobs have a better chance of doing so in China's western provinces 38 in the increasingly crowded eastern cities. Along the Eastern coast, cities are 39 with newcomers looking for work. They seek 40

  from the lowest-level unskilled jobs to the instant-millionaire Internet chance of lifetime. 41 have found the latter, and fewer ever 42 .

  Some 160 years ago, young men and women moved 43 into New York, Philadelphia, Boston--- the United States' equivalent***相同的東西*** of China's Shanghai, Guangzhou and Beijing. All of these young people were 44 for work, for riches, for fame. Few found any of them. The 45 joined the masses working hard at low-level jobs 46 to support themselves and their 47 .

  Horace Greely, a well-known American newspaper editor of the period had 48 advice for those seeking work. "Do not," Greely said, " 49 in the cities! There is room and health in the country, away from the 50 of idlers***無所事事者*** and imbeciles***foods***. West ..."

  In the mid-19th century , when Greely called 51 people to go west, America was just to develop its western regions-- 52 as China today. Out west, the unemployed could find jobs.

  One thing more should be 53 to Horace Greely's advice to the youth of his time. Go west but go 54 .

  第三部分 閱讀理解 ***共20小題,每小題2分,滿分40分***AWe have recently heard a great deal about the effects of computers on our social and economic organizations. In industry, computers mean automation, and automation means unemployment. Computers in the United States have already begun to take the place of workers whose tasks are simple. The variety of jobs, done only by humans in the past, which the machine can perform more rapidly, accurately and economically, increases with each new generation of computers. If we follow this trend, we will be faced with mass unemployment for all but a handful of highly trained professionals who will be more powerful and over-worked than they are now.

  What can we do about it? It is foolish to dream of making history backwards. We cannot pass laws forbidding the advancement of science and technology. The computing machines are here, and they will grow because engineers want to build them, and politicians want their help in the process of government. In short, they will develop and become popular because they enable us to complete tasks that could never before have been done, no matter how many unskilled laborers we might have set to work. Computers will continue to increase our intelligence for just the same reason that engines continue to strengthen our muscles. The question we must ask is not whether we shall have computers or not have computers, but rather, since we are going to have them, how we can make the most humane and intelligent use of them.

  56. Which kind of the following persons will be the first to be employed if computers continue to develop?

  A. Skilled workers. B. Highly trained professionals.

  C. Ordinary engineers. D. Government officials.

  57. In the article, the author believed that computer will continue _________ .

  A. to develop in the future B. to cause mass employment

  C. to have bad effects on social organizations

  D. to have good effects on social organizations

  58. The article suggests that the computer will continue to grow because__________ .

  A. we have lost control of it B. no laws can forbid its development

  C. engines can strengthen our muscles D. it can be and has been put to good use

  59. What is the main point the writer is trying to make in the last paragraph?

  A. Computers should be better used in more reasonable ways.

  B. We are able to build much better computers.

  C. Computers have caused industrial loss.

  D. computers are needed by more people.B  The cost is going up for just about everything and college tuition is no exception. According to a nationwide survey***調查*** published by the College Board's Scholar Service, tuition at most American universities will be on an average of 9 percent higher this year than last.

  The biggest increase will occur at private colleges, heavily subsidized by tax funds, will also increase their tuition, but the increase will be a few percentage points lower than their privately sponsored neighbors.

  As a follow up, the United Press International did their own study at several private colleges. At Ivy League schools, most advisors recommended that students have $ 16,800 available for one year's expenses, including $ 11,200 for tuition, $ 4,800 for room and board, and $ 800 for books and supplies. Ten years ago the tuition was $ 5,300. To put that another way, the cost has climbed more than 200 percent in the last decade.

  An additional burden is placed on out-of-state students who must pay extra charges and foreign students who are not eligible***有資格的*** for scholarships at state-funded universities.

  On the brighter side, the survey revealed***顯示*** that college graduates are entering the best hob market since the middle 1960s.Job offers are up 16 percent from last year, and salaries are good, at least fir graduates in technical fields. For example, a recent graduate in petroleum engineering can expect to make as much as $ 40,000 per year. A student with a liberal arts degree might expect to make about half that salary.

  A. Increase in tuition and fees at American universities.

  B. The cost of attending Ivy League schools.

  B. That only a few are accepted.

  64. Which word best describes the tone if this talk?

  A. Critical. B. Persuasive. C .Informative. D. Defensive.C.As the world watched the twin towers of the World Trade Center come under attack, a common phrase was repeated:"It looks like a movie."

  But this time there was no superman to save the people or the famous building. The attack destroyed one of the world's highest skyscrapers and left 5,000 people dead or missing.

  Movie fans have become used to such events after years of Hollywood films showing disasters, terrorism and danger. The Empire State Building, the White House, New York City and even the American president himself have all been threatened by terrorist attacks in these exciting films.

  The film "True lies", released in 1994 is considered to be a good example of this kind of movie. The special effects, including explosions and missiles, make the action look like a real thing.

  "Independence Day"in 1996 took this type of movie one step further by blowing up the White House. This science fiction movie is about a war between human beings and aliens from another planet. In the movie, the World Trade Center towers are destroyed.

  Violence has become a major part of Hollywood movies. And this is that people enjoy. Soon after the attacks, many famous film companies stopped the planned releases of some of their new movies, especially if their films showed terrorist attacks or plane crashes. "Swordfish"was top of the American box office in June. But the movie's story was frighteningly similar to the Sept. 11 disaster. The film would have been stopped in American and British cinemas after the attack.

  But it's unlikely that Hollywood will stay quiet for long. It is already waiting for the feeling in America to calm down.

  65. What is the main subject of the newspaper article?

  A. The relationship between the Sept. 11 attack and Hollywood films.

  B. The effect of the Sept. 11 attack on Hollywood films.

  C. The response Hollywood made to the Sept. 11 attack.

  D. The result of Hollywood films showing violence and disaster.

  66. Which of the following is true?

  A . Hollywood made a lot of money out of the film "Swordfish"in June.

  B. Hollywood stopped making films showing terrorism and disasters after the Sept. 11attack.C. "Swordfish" was not allowed to be shown after the Sept. 11 attack.

  D. The World Trade Center was destroyed because no superman came to save it.

  67. From this article we know that ________ .

  A. Hollywood is a film making center making films of violence and disasters

  B. too many Hollywood films showing terrorism and disasters resulted in the Sept.11attack.C. people who were used to the Hollywood films were not shocked at the Sept. 11 attack

  D. in fact, the Sept. 11 attack didn't have much to do with Hollywood filmsDThe interview has been going on for about 20 minutes and everything seems to be going well. Then, suddenly, the interviewer asks an unexpected question, "Which is more important, law of love?"

  Job applicants***求職者*** increasingly find themselves asked strange questions like this. And the signs are that this is beginning to happen in China.

  Employers want people who are skilled, enthusiastic***熱情的*** and devoted. So these are the qualities that any reasonably intelligent***智慧的*** job applicant will try to show no matter what his or her actual feelings are. In response, employers are increasingly using questions which try and show the applicant's true personality.

  The question in the first paragraph comes from a test called the Kiersey Personality Sorter. It is an attempt to discover how people solve problems, rather than what they know. This is often called aptitude testing.

  According to Mark Baldwin of alliance many job applicants in China are finding this type of questions difficult. When a Chinese person fills out an aptitude test, he or she will think there is right answer and they may well fail because they try to guess what the examiner wants to see.

  This is sometimes called the prisoner's dilemma***窘境***. Applicants are trying to act cleverly in their own interest. But they fail because they don't understand what the interviewer is looking for. Remember that in an aptitude test, the correct answer is always the honest answer.

  68. The writer wrote the passage to _____________ .

  A. give you a piece of advice on a job interview

  B. tell you how to meet a job interview

  C. describe an aptitude test

  D. advise you how to find a good job

  69. The underlined word"aptitude" is closest in meaning to __________ .

  A. duty B. ability C. fashion D. imagination

  70. According to the writer, in an aptitude testing, Chinese job applicants should ________ .

  A. not tell the truth B. learn to tell what they really think

  C. be more enthusiastic D. try to find out what the examiner really wants to know

  71. From the passage we know that _________ .

  A. job applicants are always asked such questions

  B. more Chinese applicants fail to find a job

  C. applicants should act as reasonably as a prisoner

  D. aptitude testing is becoming popular in ChinaEMany people believe the glare from snow causes snowblindness. Yet, with dark glasses or not, they find themselves suffering from headaches and watering eyes, and even snowblindness, when exposed to several hours o "snow light".

  The United States army has now determined that glare from snow does not cause snowblindness on troops in a snow-covered country. Rather, a man's eyes frequently find nothing to focus on in a broad space of snow-covered without-grass land. So his gaze continually moves and jumps back and forth over the entire landscape in search of something to look at. Finding something, hour after hour, the eyes never stop searching and the eyeballs becomes sore***疼痛的*** and the eye muscles ache. Nature makes up for this discomfort by producing more and more fluid***液體*** which covers the eyeball. The fluid covers the eyeball in increasing quantity until it makes eyes difficult to see clearly, and the result is total, even though temporary, snowblindness.

  Experiments led the Army to a simple method of overcoming this problem. Scouts ***偵察兵***ahead of the troops are trained to shake snow from evergreen bushes, creating a dotted line as they cross completely snow-covered landscape. Even the scouts themselves throw lightweight, dark colored objects ahead on which they too can focus. The men following can then see something. Their gaze is arrested. Their eyes focus on a bush and having found something to see, stop searching the snow-blanket landscape. By focusing their attention on one object at a time, the men can cross the snow without becoming hopelessly snowblind or lost. In this way the problem of crossing a continuous white land is overcome.

  72. To prevent snowblindness caused by the strong light from snow, wearing glasses or not

  ____________ .

  A. depends on whether the snow is white enough

  B. depends on whether the snow is thick

  C. makes no difference

  D. makes much difference

  73. When the eyes are sore, tears flow out ___________.

  A. to clear the vision B. to make the vision unclear

  C. to produce more and more liquid D. to make the eyes stop searching

  74. Snowblindness can be avoided ___________ .

  A. by providing the eyes with something to focus on

  B. by moving one's gaze back and forth

  C. by making up for the discomfort of one's eyes

  D. by walking ahead and keeping looking around

  75. The scouts shake snow from evergreen bushes_______ .

  A. to make the following men see nothing but falling snow

  B. to prevent the following men from losing their way

  C. to show the following men line different from snow

  D. to tell the following men where they are marching

  76. How to understand the sentence "Their gaze is arrested"?

  A. They can't see freely. B. They get something to look at.

  C. Their eyes are clear. D. They can only look at one spot.

Others say sandwiches are an American invention. The truth is that this type of food has been with us for thousands of years. It is only its name that is not very good.

  A British nobleman named John Montagu, the Earl of Sandwich, loved to play cards and didn't like to stop his game for meals. When he was hungry he asked his servant to bring him a piece of meat between two pieces of bread; this way he didn't have to use a fork and knife, and his hands stayed clean. He gave his sandwich its name, and this way of eating soon became popular in Europe.

  Is Watching TV Good or Bad?

  As is known to all, since its invention, TV has become an important part of people's life. By watching TV, we can get a lot of knowledge and information. We can also travel around the world, watch films, news reports, sports games and so on without buying tickets. But every coin has two sides. In my opinion, there are many disadvantages. You see, most children have poor eyesight because they watch TV too often. Besides, too much fighting and killing has bad effects on children. So we should make good use of TV and choose interesting and instructive TV programmes.

  第三部分 閱讀理解 ***共20小題,每小題2分,滿分40分***A The American National Football Team says that it aims to compete for the championship of the 2010 World Cup. Now a juvenile footballers training project, which costs 50 million US dollars and is provided by the Nike Company, has already gone into operation.

  As the first item project, 34 American boys under the age of 14 have already reached Mexico recently to begin their team training. Before that, the boys had received one week selection training in a San Diego Camp. All these boys were selected from the four American regional training camps under the Olympic Development Program.

  Not long after the boys began training in Mexico did they enter competitions with the Mexican Teenager Football Team. In a top players' match, the American Team lost by one to two. But in a replacement players' match, the American Team beat the Mexico Team two to one. After the matches. Carter, director of the Juvenile Development Project of the American Football Association, said that he hopes the scope of team training will be expanded to include 95-128 boys under the age of 14. Training of juvenile football players in the 15-to-16 age group will also be launched, Carter said.

  The American football circles have expressed appreciation of those measures taken by the American Football Association. Some people even say that the American Football Association should take further action to organize and coordinate competitions among juvenile football clubs, and should strive to organize and coordinate school to school and state to state super juvenile league football matches.

  36. The first item of the training project includes __________ .

  a. training many boys under the age of 14

  b. selecting 34 excellent boy players

  c. training in Mexico and organizing some matches there

  B. to organize a few more football clubs

  C. to get more rewards in the future

  D. to encourage the 15-to-16-year-old boys

  38. After reading the passage we may conclude that _________ .

  39. Which is the best title of the passage?

  A. Try to Win the 2010 World Cup.

  B. American Boys Trained for Football Championships.

  C. Improve the Young Footballers' Skill.

  D. Great Project-Training Young Children.B  Human wants seem endless. When a starving man gets a meal, he begins to think about an overcoat; when an executive gets a new sports car, vision of country clubs and pleasure boats dance into view.

  The man wants of mankind might be regarded as making up several levels. When there is money enough to satisfy one level of wants, another level appears.

  The first and most basic level of wants involves food. Once this want is satisfied, a second level of wants appears clothing and some sorts of shelter. By the end of World War II these wants were satisfied for a great majority of Americans. Then a third level appeared. It included such items as automobiles and new houses.

  By 1957 or 1958 this third level of wants was fairly well satisfied. Then, in the late 1950s a fourth level of wants appeared: the "life-enriching"level. While the other levels involve physical satisfaction-the feeding, comfort, safety, and transportation of the human body- this level stresses mental needs for recognition, achievements and happiness. It includes a variety of goods and services, many of which could be called "luxury"items. Among them are vacation trips, the best medical and dental care, and entertainment. Also includes her fancy foods and the latest styles in clothing.

  On the fourth level, a greater percentage of consumers' spending goes to services, while on the first three levels more is spent on goods. Will consumers raise their sight to a fifth of wants as their income increases, or will they continue to demand luxuries of any personal services on the fourth level?

  A fifth level probably would involve wants that can be achieved best by community action. Consumers may be spending more on taxes to pay for government action against disease, ignorance, crime and prejudice. After filling out stomachs, our clothes closets, our garage, our teeth, and our minds, we now may seek to ensure the health, safety and leisure to enjoy more fully the good things on the first four levels.

  40. According to the passage, man will begin to think about such needs as housing and clothing only when __________ .

  D. will become attainable provided the government takes actionCMoods, say the experts, are feelings that are likely to become fixed, having effects on one's outlook*** way of looking at things*** for hours, days or even weeks. That's great if your mood is a pleasant one, but a problem if you are sad, anxious, angry, or simply lonely.

  Perhaps the best way to deal with such moods is to talk them out; sometimes, though, there is no one to listen. Modern pharmacology***藥理學*** offers a lot of tranquilizers***鎮靜劑*** and anti-anxiety drugs. What many people don't realize, however, is that scientists have discovered the effectiveness of several non-drugs, and have the added benefit of being nonpoisonous. So next time you feel out of sorts, don't head for the drug store-try the following method.

  Of all the mood-changing self-help techniques, aerobic exercise seems to be the best cure for a bad mood. "If you could keep the exercise, you'd be in high spirits," says Kathryn Lance, author of Running for Health and Beauty.

  Researchers have explained biochemical and various other changes that make exercise compare favorably to drugs as a mood-raiser. Physical work such as housework, however, does little. The key is aerobic exercise-running, cycling, walking, swimming, or other repetitive and sustained activities that increase the heart rate and circulation, and improve the body's use of oxygen. Do then for at least 20 minutes a time, three to five times a week.

  44. What is the main subject of the passage?

  47. Which of the following best describes the organization of this passage?

  A. An exercise and its importance are explained

  B. A problem is examined and solutions are given.

  C. Two different views of a problem are presented

  D. Recent development in medicine are describedDManners nowadays in big cities like London are practically non-existent. It is nothing for a bid, strong schoolboy to push an elderly woman side in the rush for the last remaining seat in the train or bus, much less stand up and offer his seat to her.

  This question of giving up seats in public transport is much argued by young men, who say that, since women have claimed***要求***equality, they no longer should be treated with courtesy***禮貌*** and that those who go out to work should take their turn in the rush hour like anyone else. Women have never should stand up for younger women, the fact remains that courtesy should be shown to the old, the sick and the disabled. Are we really so lost to all ideals of unselfishness that we can sit there calmly reading the paper or a book, saying to ourselves "First come, first served." while a gray-haired woman, a mother with a young child stands? Yet this is all too often seem.

  Older people, tiered form a day's work, are not as noble as before, either. Far from it. Many an argument or a quarrel breaks out as they push and pull each other to get on buses and trains. One cannot speak favorably of this of course, but one does feel there is just a little more excuse.

  If cities are to remain pleasant places to live in at all, however, it seems important, not only that communications in transport should be improves, but also that communication between human beings should be kept smooth and polite. All over cities, it seems that people are too tired and too rushed to be polite. Shop assistants won't bother to help, taxi drivers shout at each other as they drive dangerously round corners, bus conductors pull the bell before their passengers have had time to get on off the bus, and so on. It seems to us that it is up to the young and strong to do their small part to stop such deterioration.

  48. What is the writer's opinion concerning courteous manners towards women?

  A. Now that women have claimed quality, they no longer need to be treated differently from men.

  B. It is generally considered out of date for young men to give up their seats to young wowen.

  C. "Lady First" should be strictly practiced.

  D. Special consideration ought to be shown to them.

  49. On the train or bus, according to the author, older people _________.

  A. often offer their seats to others.

  B. are treated better than younger people are

  C. are no more thoughtful than younger people toward each other.

  D. are more selfish to each other

  50. According to the author, communication between human beings would be smoother if _______.

  A. people were more thoughtful towards each other

  B. people were not so tired

  C. women were treated with more courtesy

  D. public transport could be improved.

  51. What is the possible meaning of the underlined word " deterioration" in the last paragraph?

  A. Worsening of general situation. B. Lowering of moral standards.

  C. Society getting worse. D. Spreading of bad manners.EWouldn't it be great if you could just look up at the sky and read the weather forecast right away? Well, you can. The forecast is written in clouds. If you can read that writing, you can tell something about the atmosphere. With some practice, you can become a pretty good weather forecast. Who knows, you might even do as well as meteorologist***氣象學者***.

  Meteorologists use much more information than just the appearance of the clouds to make their forecast. They collect data***資料*** from all over the world. Then they put it into powerful, high-speed computers.

  This does give meteorologists an advantage, because they can track weather patterns as they move from west to east across the country.

  But you have an advantage, too. You can look at the sky and get your data directly. A meteorologists uses a computer forecast that's several hours old to make a local forest.

  What are you seeing when you look at a cloud? " A picture of what moisture***溼氣*** is doing in the atmosphere," says meteorologist Peter Leavit. There's moisture throughout the atmosphere. Most of the time you don't see it, because it's in the form of an invisible***看不見的***gas called water vapor.

  Sometimes, the temperature of the air gets cold enough to cause the water vapor to change into liquid water. That's called condensation, and we see it happen all the time***for example, when humid air hits the cold glass of a mirror***. When enough water vapor condenses, droplets form in the air. These droplets scatter light. A cloud is seen. Watching clouds over a day or two tells you a lot more than a single cloud about the weather to come. Changes in clouds show changes in the temperature.

  You should begin to notice patterns. Certain clouds, following each other in order, can signal an approaching storm. But don't take our word for it; see for yourself.

  This passage mainly tells us about how ___________.

  A. to become a meteorologist B. to keep an eye on the weather

  C. to be an assistant to a meteorologist D. to change water vapor to liquid water

  According to the passage, an ordinary person might do as well as a meteorologist in weather forecast __________.

  A. with the help of the high-speed computer

  B. through a complex process of calculation

  C. with some simple practice looking up at the sky

  D. consulting a weather station

  Meteorologist make their weather forecast __________.

  A. by collecting data from all over the world

  B. by putting these data into powerful, high-speed computers.

  C. By calculating and analyzing these data

  D. all above

  Your advantage in weather forecasts is that _________.

  A. you have more powerful computers at home

  B. your brain works as well as high speed computer

  C. you observe the sky and obtain your data directly

  D. meteorologists give their data to you as soon as they get them
